return from lanling

[shangba]

A full moon, unblinking.

You did not sleep, to see?

Comments

[shangba]

No. But I am the one who pushes you, again and again. Wei Ying may come to resent.

[emperorssmile]

I love you so much, Lan Zhan. And you’re really sexy, too. I don’t think it’ll be an issue.

[shangba]

So long as our ardor is not perverted.

[emperorssmile]

This about immortality and dual cultivation, isn’t it.

It could become routine like practicing forms or meditating, but I don’t think I’d ever be resentful of it.

[shangba]

Our love life... 'routine.'

[emperorssmile]

See why I'm not worried about it?

[shangba]

Perhaps we may differentiate our sessions. To keep appetites stirred.

[emperorssmile]

Hmm, so what does Lan Zhan propose we do tonight to keep things interesting?

[shangba]

Tonight must be cultivation, beloved. You are as a kitten.

[emperorssmile]

I know... We can still enjoy it.

[shangba]

Hold me.

[emperorssmile]

I’ll hold you close for as long as you want. All night if that’s what you’d like.

[shangba]

Apologies. Wei Ying had requested binding.

[emperorssmile]

Aww, Lan Zhan! You're so cute. That kind of thing's only fun when we're both in the mood for it. It doesn't have to be tonight.

[shangba]

You are not disappointed?

[emperorssmile]

Not at all. We’ll do it some other time. Maybe part of the fun is that you can surprise me when.

Besides, I didn’t think we’d do it tonight.

[shangba]

A sweet reunion.

I miss our bed. The scent of home.

[emperorssmile]

It’s been a long time since we’ve been home.

Want me to make you a Lan soup recipe instead?

[shangba]

...no. Neglect whims. Only permit yourself held and holding.

[emperorssmile]

You’re too adorable, Lan Zhan. Only held and holding, got it. The only way I’ll leave your arms tonight will be if A-Liang wakes up.

[shangba]

...thank you.

[emperorssmile]

I’ll kiss you as much as you want, too.

[shangba]

Until lips numb.

[emperorssmile]

All I want is to be close to Lan Zhan!

All night, every night.

We should meet up in a couple shi. We can either push through and travel the rest of the way to Cloud Recesses or we can stay at one of the villages on the way.

[shangba]

Allow those who wish to meet their families to press ahead.

Perhaps Wei Ying and I may linger.
