[He drops what he is carrying, staring at his communicator as if it has sprouted legs. Or horns. Both could be possible around Xue Yang! But...no. What his lover has to share with him is better. So much better. Leaving what he dropped behind, he runs to their cabin and throws open the door.
His lips quiver and he rushes to the bed, dragging Xue Yang into a hard embrace.]
The chocolate is too cute to miss and Zichen sets it aside when he kisses Xue Yang deeply. He can't resist trembling and tears run down his cheeks too. Happy tears this time.
"Shhh..." he pulls A-Yang down on their bed and holds him snugly. Their cats crawl over them, purring like the happiest of motorboats.
A little bird flutters into the room, tweeting over their head. The cats watch the feathered wonder, but make no move to chase. They wouldn't be much more than a mouthful anyway!
Zichen gasps and rests their foreheads together, unable to stop smiling. He has never been this proud before.
"I'm proud." he whispers tenderly, a piece of dark chocolate falling from his lips - also shaped like a heart, "You did this for...yourself...and for us."
Xue Yang giggles. Somewhere there is a tiny black snake crawling around and exploring.
His face warms and he smiles tenderly. "I don't know that I would've made it without you." More heart-shaped chocolate manifests - very fitting for a little celebration.
Oh they will find him and give him a good home. Just like the bird will be given a cage so they can have a safe place to roost at night.
Kissing Xue Yang again, he thoroughly enjoys that tender smile. To him, it's sweeter than the finest chocolate.
"You wanted it. Even if I gave you a good reason to try, the effort was all yours, love." he collects the chocolates, laughing. Bubbles, bright and happy, fill the air.
The kitties paw at the bubbles and sniff the candies, eyes wide. What is going on? This is fun!
Zichen gazes into Xue Yang's eyes and gently kisses his lover's burning cheeks.
"I love you. I knew you could do it." this time, he produces...a butterfly pendant in jade. The meaning behind the little creature is one Zichen remembers. Love and an endless union.
Zichen laughs and catches the veil, flushing as he imagines...yes. Marriage would be nice. He tucks the veil into his robes so the kitties won't mangle it and kisses the bridge of Xue Yang's nose.
"We have many years ahead of us. We'll have a home, A-Yang."
Zichen nuzzles their noses together and breathes, hopefully, against Xue Yang's lips:
"Will you marry me, A-Yang? On the Barge or...when we return? I don't mind either." he wraps the other man in his arms and nods gently, "We will have peace and quiet."
Xue Yang grins and kisses Song Lan again. "You do too." He kisses him again. And again, each kiss growing hungrier and deeper as Xue Yang is overwhelmed by his love and desire for this man.
"I...nnn...'m not graduating..." he manages between hungry kisses. Then he gives into them, returning them passionately, messily. He pulls their bodies together and wraps a leg around Xue Yang's hips.
Zichen grins and nips at Xue Yang's lower lip, loosening his robes too. He eagerly rubs their bodies together and then, mischievously, places the red veil over his lover's head.
Xue Yang blushes and grins when the veil is put over his head. "Mm, seems a little early to have our wedding night," he teases as he strokes his hands over his lover's chest.
"Just a little." Zichen lifts the veil and kisses Xue Yang tenderly, "But I know that this is ours. The ceremony will just make it public." and it will allow them to state their vows before the gods.
Zichen places the veil under their pillows and takes off his robes, revealing himself to his love. Then he helps Xue Yang become equally as bare, shuddering with a soft groan.
"I am so proud of you." he smiles and presses Xue Yang against the bed, "I have never seen you happier."
Xue Yang smirks and pulls the veil back from under the pillows. "I want to keep it on," he says. He hands the veil to Song Lan and practically purrs, "Put it on me, husband."
His expression softens at those words. "I've never been happier," he murmurs.
Zichen blinks and then smiles slowly, liking the idea almost immediately. He takes his time, placing the veil just right over Xue Yang's hair and face, using pins from his hair to hold it in place. His hands shake a little and he finds himself stunned by the beauty of Xue Yang's face under the fabric.
He really...doesn't seem like his past self at all. It's as if Xue Yang has gotten rid of a possession and can finally breathe the free air again.
"I will do all in my power to keep you happy and safe. That is my main goal in life now."
