Chapter Text
Delightful.
Barely awake and Yi already knew this day was worth it. Nothing better than a good kiss to start a day right off, especially this one. Sweet Saturday morning, all the time in the world to relax and enjoy company.
By his side Yasuo was so warm and cuddly, perfect. Not a single second lost without any contact, they held each other closely while the kiss last. It would never be enough.
Little by little they learned more about each other, about details and reactions to specific gestures. Now Yi could safely say that the latter would get all clingy when he caressed his hair. It was always so cute to feel Yasuo open up – first or second – into the kiss with the same need for more, begging in gestures and light brush over skin. Don’t be so shy… That was a curious thing indeed, probably temporary. A remain of Yasuo’s struggle over months of unrequited feelings, when it wasn’t proved yet. Curious because Yi had always known him to be out-going, talkative and more than friendly with anyone. Not the shy type. This was something he just discovered, either it was due to the fear of being rejected or it was just the way Yasuo behaved around him.
To be honest, Yi was aware he didn’t behave exactly the same around Yasuo than with anyone else, even Yone. Of course, that was quite logical, he would be all loving in that romantic sense only with Yasuo. The truth was elsewhere. Even before he sort of already knew he liked him – even in a different way than their now relationship – but it had only become tangible after confession. Like affection building up secretly, waiting to be given once the time had come. For having literally watched Yasuo get more and more sick over an unknown person, it had only pushed him to suppress everything. Until now. They were free, Yi was free to give everything to this man he had grown to love with time. The one now a little breathless after that lasting kiss.
« Take care, don’t hurt yourself for nothing. » The remark turned soft because of his tone, greatly touched by the mood. No way to be mad right now when Yasuo looked at him like a thing of beauty.
« Nah, completely worth it. That’s my medecine~ » With that he kissed Yi again, barely the time to breathe before he took more of that tenderness.
That’s so sweet… Yi knew it wasn’t helping in itself but without a doubt their early affection still played a huge part in Yasuo’s recovery. If feelings could hurt and make sick then feelings could soothe and heal. At least that specific case.
In no time they were back to this gentle exchange, opening up to each other. By now it wasn’t really chaste, such thorough attention was the kind to lead to more. Yi registered that slow change when hands travelled a little over him, from cuddling to exploring. Oh ? All this was still very innocent, nothing obscene or just heated. Both of them were clothed, it was still winter.
So he let it happen, more than happy to relax in bed and coaxing Yasuo a little further. After all they had to go through, Yi preferred to show everything was fine and more than that, welcome. A hand to Yasuo’s nape, he encouraged him and after they parted, he gave a few sweet words.
Oh the impact of little nothings. It almost surprised Yi to realize that, each time he saw the latter blushing lightly after affection in words or gestures. It’s not that much. Was it ? Thinking about the reverse side, of course he enjoyed every word Yasuo ever dedicated to him. Each time he sounded so relieved to be there, a bit disbelieving to be loved in such way. This second waking together was like a dream come true.
« I love you. » Say it, again and again until one day Yasuo got it clear and loud. Until then Yi would repeat and thinking again, he knew he wouldn’t ever stop. That reaction made it too precious.
What Yi didn’t expect was to actually see the latter cry. Wait no… Barely a few tears that trailed down Yasuo’s face after an obvious effort to hold this back.
« Ahh…I didn’t mean to… » Was it goor or bad ? Yi had no idea so he surrended to the urge to help and soothe. There came light panic.
No no no…
Frozen on top of him for a few seconds and still caught in that shortcircuit, Yasuo reacted soon enough by kissing him suddenly. The opposite of all the previous kisses of that morning, this one was hard and desperate, the kind of claim made to check reality. It had to be real or they wouldn’t be breathless and clinging to each other with such urgency.
It was broken almost as quick, only for Yasuo to hide back in his favorite spot, nuzzling Yi’s neck. Completely lying down on him, a bit tense. Alright, alright. All this was a little difficult to keep track, a bit dazzed after such strong emotions at once.
When everything calmed down – as showed the gentle kisses pressed to his neck and jaw – Yi sighed and resumed his needed contact, rubbing the latter’s back. Really sometimes it could be a lot to process at once. Far from him to complain, this was lovely. At least it was clear everything was fine and Yasuo just needed time to come in term with his urges and feelings.
« I love you too, Yi. So so much…My honey darling…My everything… » Every sentence was punctuated by another peck, another short attention that added to the rest to make something wonderful.
Hearing that made it extremely understandable that Yasuo would give a few tears. It was so nice and kind, like when Yasuo was too tired by the end of the day but still grinned softly. Yi wanted to keep everything.
This was just the beginning, may their future together be full of affection.
I hope so. My dear love…
