[Sashimi Slayer]

It's silly, really, the ordeal Pescario has gotten himself into, but Xue Yang can't resist the possibility of a fight. Armed with his sword, his beloved Jiangzai, and his magic, he races off to help the poor soul. Needless to say, because of who is participating, the ensuing battle is ugly and, at times, completely unfair. Xue Yang uses Dark Magic to make it quite difficult to find him, disappearing from one place and reappearing in another. Just when the monstrous creature thinks it has stabbed him, it finds empty air!

"You're not quick enough!" he laughs and cuts down one sword...then another...smirking as the arms fall with the blades.

Only when he is sure of victory, the knight (or whatever it is) falling into pieces, does he realize that he is now facing a dragon.

Shit.

"Is this really what you wanted to eat?!"

[Cupid's Arrow Beta Testing - Part II]

Cupid's arrows should never fall into his hands, but on the guise of 'helping', Xue Yang gathers his quivers and gets to work. He travels wherever he likes whenever he likes and if you look like a good target, get ready to be shot! Of course he chooses Chocoshot and the Quiver of Quiver. You're either about to be very sick of chocolate or aroused because Xue Yang is a good shot. All Cultivators are trained in the bow.

"Aw did that one hurt?" he croons at his struck victim, "How do you feel?"

This is for science. And for the hell of it.

Neither had he! Each time he sought it, he had either been rebuffed or ignored. Usually if he wanted a warm bed, he had to pay for it. But now he has a beautiful man who welcomes him every night and every morning. When did he get so lucky?

He smiles to himself when his sore back is immediately noticed. No one else would have given a damn, but his A-Chen comes to him so quickly and Xue Yang knows he's worried. Thus when they are in the shower together, he returns the embrace, letting his lover know that he is okay. He can protect Xingchen like this too and it feels...right.

"I'm with you too, A-Chen. I don't care if we're in Camelot or some other world." his addiction - his love - won't fade. Xue Yang knows himself well enough to understand this is where he wants to be.

[bright_moon]

Xue Yang's arms have started to mean nothing more than strength, safety, warmth. Love. Xingchen loves snuggling into his playful lover's embrace. He's even grown a little more comfortable with his own body, a little less shy - if only with Xue Yang.

He continues the gentle touches over his lover's back until they're pressed together, then simply leans into Xue Yang's steady strength and nudges their noses together with a quiet little breath of relief.

"Mm. We will always find each other. You said that even back on our world. That I shouldn't forget you, because we'd meet again." And Xue Yang had been right. Just...not quite the way either of them would've expected.

He smiles and kisses his lover softly. "I don't think I could forget you, not that I want to."

[cultivatingsin]

Instead of lashing out and obliterating everything good and decent in his path, Xue Yang has found someone he can depend on. The hatred and anger in his spirit has calmed down and he enjoys every playful moment he spends with Xingchen. He might not be so calm if he sees others from their world, but Xingchen has a hold on him now. They can work through it.

The water feels good and he sighs, the sore muscles in his back relaxing. He feels the tiny breath and smiles, drawing his lover into a deep kiss.

"Don't forget me. I couldn't stand the thought of not seeing you again back then either." but it had been different and his view of Xingchen had been tainted.

He sees the truth and he has no desire to hurt or trick this man.

"I was an idiot. I thought you would hurt me and make me regret trying to get your attention. You never have." he whispers, wondering, "I can't let you go."

[bright_moon]

His lover's progress makes him outright proud. He loves helping Xue Yang's spirit calm and heal. Loves the playful teasing and how Xue Yang has taught him things in return. Taught his body just what pleasure is, how nice it is to sleep beside someone at night, sharing a bed. Curled up together to the point knowing where one ends and the other begins is a challenge.

Xingchen hums into the deep kiss, eyes fluttering closed as he welcomes it. Fingertips trace idle patterns into wet skin as the water pours over them. "I won't," he murmurs against soft lips. Another kiss and he presses their heads together as he listens to those quiet words.

"I don't want you to let me go."

[cultivatingsin]

Their bed is his favorite place. At first it had been strange, but each night he had drifted off into the best sleep he has ever known. Then it progressed to whispering in the dark, telling stories and sometimes he would watch Xingchen sleep. It was then that he understood he was being given the other man's full trust.

Making his daozhang feel good is one of the ways Xue Yang thanks him. However as they stand under the spray of water, he almost laughs at himself. Just kissing Xingchen thrills him and he runs his hands greedily over his lover's slick back.

"A-Chen..." he tuts and presses his lover to the shower wall. His lips find the most sensitive spots on Xingchen's neck, proving that he forgets nothing about his lover.

"Never."

[bright_moon]

At first they'd shared the room because the Inn had needed space and Xue Yang had simply been assigned to his. Now they share because they want to. And Xingchen has had fun learning new stories, then sharing them with Xue Yang. As well as sharing his own experiences, both at his master's side and since he'd left.

Those hands sliding over his body make him shudder and his breath catch. He presses into them, welcoming those wonderful touches. And then he finds his back to the shower wall and a little laugh escapes him before those lips play over his neck. He tilts his head back with a helpless little moan as he feels his body respond.

"I believe you." And that makes him beam!

CW: Sexy times.

[cultivatingsin]

Xingchen's stories are his favorites. It doesn't matter if his daozhang is a dreadful story teller - that just makes him more charming! To Xue Yang anyway. He has yet to really return the favor, but, in his defense, his stories are not really...bed-time worthy. So he came up with silly tales that were sure to make Xingchen laugh.

He really loves his laugh. Parting his lips, he sucks on the tender, sweet skin and grazes his nails and fingertips down his daozhang's abdomen. His kisses continue along Xingchen's shoulders and he pauses at the tips to give the man an impish grin.

"This is the first time today that Ying isn't screaming at me."

:3

[bright_moon]

He loves how eager Xue Yang is to listen to his stories. It just makes him hunt down more! And he likes laughing at the tales his lover shares with him.

A little mew escapes at the gentle bite of nails down his abdomen and those kisses have him shiver and squirm and sigh, and he drapes his arms loosely around his wicked lover. That grin makes him giggle and he leans down to claim a soft kiss.

"She's been worried, that's why she screams."

[cultivatingsin]

There's nothing wrong with him keeping Xiao Xingchen a little...innocent. Just for now. Xue Yang is protecting him! So there is no danger in building a nice, happy home around his daozhang.

But sometimes he dreams about the truth slipping out. What if Xingchen is put under a spell and he sees everything Xue Yang has done? Surely he will be disgusted.

He won't be mewing and clinging to him. Xue Yang growls and nips at those adorably plump lips, wanting to make Xingchen promise...

Promise that he won't leave. Promise that he won't find him disgusting.

"It doesn't matter if she's worried. I have to stay strong."

If he lets himself weaken, someone else could snatch his happiness away.

[bright_moon]

No, nothing wrong at all. Xingchen is happy as they are, safe and secure in his belief that Xue Yang isn't tricking him.

He hears that worry in his lover's voice, in that growl that sinks through his body to steal his breath away, in that nip. He tightens his hold and claims a soft kiss.

"You are strong, love. You don't have to be with me."

[cultivatingsin]

"But I want to be!" Xue Yang exclaims, desperation and embarrassment making eyes wide and his cheeks red. He had...misunderstood. Xingchen had meant...

"If I'm too weak, I'll lose you."

That's just the way any world works. He presses their bare chests together, breathing in deep to slow his heart. What else does he have to offer anyway? Besides his wits and his strength. There are plenty of others out there more deserving of Xingchen.

[bright_moon]

He nuzzles those cheeks and tightens his embrace, trying to use his body to reassure his poor lover.

"Do you think...that I am only with you because you are strong?"

That makes him sad, and a little hurt, and he's always been bad at hiding his emotions.

[cultivatingsin]

"N-No!" he rubs over Xingchen's sides and kisses his cheek and his neck, "I guess sometimes I worry you'll... You'll know everything about me. You'll see everything I've done and you will reject me."

What other outcome could there be?

[bright_moon]

He answers kiss for kiss.

"You have told me you did horrible things before. What matters here, is that you aren't doing them now."

[cultivatingsin]

"I'm not." he whispers, "I haven't. I think about you and I - try."

Even when he thinks it might be funny or maybe he's angry again, usually all it takes is for him to think of Xingchen looking upset to stop him.

[bright_moon]

Xingchen nuzzles his lover softly, then reaches out and turns the water off.

"Let's dry off and go to bed. I want to feel you tonight."

Another kiss, pressed to a wet shoulder. "I can tell you're doing your best. It's enough for me. You stop yourself."

[cultivatingsin]

Blinking away the water on his eyelashes, Xue Yang smiles softly, stepping back to help Xingchen out of the shower. His daozhang won't slip on his watch!

"I always want to feel you." he follows his lover and grabs a towel, rubbing over Xingchen's beautiful body, "Are you cold?"
