Chapter Text
Choi Jung Soo had always been someone who liked to show off when he had the opportunity, maybe a little too much or a bit too little, however the one rule was that it would always be a sight to behold.
And it was indeed a sight to behold, but perhaps it was even more so to those who had noticed how Cale's eyes lit up as he stared at the demon and not at the swords of fire falling from the sky.
Or perhaps it was the way the demon was quick to turn away as soon as the last sword was embedded in the thick mist, with a spectatorial look and a proud smile directed at both the nobleman and the man beside him, Sui Khan, almost as if he expected to receive at least one compliment.
Like a dog, was the general consensus.
The hawk tribesman kept his smile almost the same way he'd had it throughout the entire encounter, but for some reason it felt even warmer and more loving, though perhaps it was because of the flames in the distance. “That was an amazing display.”
And although Cale's eyes still shone as if stars were embedded in his face, his tone completely betrayed the look, “You're still not rusty.”
Choi Jung Soo just laughed as if that was what he had expected and was exactly what he wanted to get. He also walked over, hugged the red-haired man around the waist as if they had known each other all their lives and... the Henituse left him. That in itself even if it had taken them by surprise they might have let it pass, were it not for how intimate the contact seemed, two lovers (three? Sui Khan seemed to be struggling to control their wings and avoid separating them from the rest) meeting again after an eternity forced to be away from each other.
No, no, that was a mistake. They still hadn't seen or heard anything.
“Ha! Our Dongsaeng is still as shy as ever, saying such cold words as if his ears weren't completely red and he'll look at me as if I'm one of the loves of his life.”
“Who are you calling Dongsaeng, dog?”
“Right, right. He's our adored husband.”
...
Husband? Ours? Cale-Nim?!
Before anyone could act, not even Sui Khan's swift wing, they managed to catch a glimpse of the demon leaning in to kiss the human, with the redhead also leaning in his direction.
Ah, war was really going to break out now. At least that's what the calmer people in the group thought.
