    Summary

    Shouto’s never been on a boat before. It isn’t something he’d ever registered as being strange. People don’t talk about boats all that much unless they’re at the beach or some other body of water, so it’s never come up in conversation with any of his friends at UA. It isn’t until class 2A is on the way to an island training camp that it’s brought up for the first time, and Shouto’s thrown into a very new, very unpleasant experience.

    Or: Shouto’s first time on a boat goes very badly when he ends up terribly seasick.

    Summary

    “Okay, San Lang, let’s talk,” Xie Lian says, and is proud of how steady his voice stays. “Tell me about the cuts.”

    “You talked to E-ming, didn’t you,” Hua Cheng says bleakly.

    “It only confirmed what I already suspected.” Xie Lian closes his eyes. “Can you tell me that those injuries aren’t from who I think they are?”

    “Dianxia is so clever.” Hua Cheng looks at him, and there is a sudden exhaustion written in the lines around his eye. “I could tell you they aren’t, but...this San Lang is tired of lying to his god.”

    Despite his suspicions, to hear it admitted so plainly from Hua Cheng’s own mouth feels like a fist to his heart. Xie Lian takes a deep, deep, deep breath. Calmly. Calmly and clearly. He has already done his crying. He is not going to freak out right now. He is not going to yell. He is not going to yell. He is not—

    “What were you thinking, Hua Cheng?!”

    When E-ming is stolen and its curse activated by enemies, Xie Lian fully expects the chorus of pained howls he hears outside of Paradise Manor. What he does not expect is the multitude of raw, gaping wounds that split open along his husband’s skin.

    Summary

    His thumb brushes the skin beneath his uncovered eye gently, “I wanted to know the face of my last and only believer.” Hua Cheng’s eyelid flickers, his lips parted around a quiet sigh. “So precious and so beautiful.” He murmurs, and he sees the way Hua Cheng shivers, reveling in the praise in equal measure to how much he hates to hear it.

    Or, Hua Cheng has a nightmare and Xie Lian gets to comfort his husband for once.
