The birds were jumping loose over the trees with a melody as beautiful as mother nature could provide.
Involved in this divine ballad, below the tops of the trees, a young couple danced. The tallest one was younger and struggled to lead the dance in his inexperience. The smallest was older and smiled in amusement, allowing himself to be caught up in the lack of rhythm.
Beneath their bare feet some flowers were playfully crushed causing a magical scent to spread around them.
It didn't take long for the smallest to dare to join their bodies. However, Nie HuaiSang didn't show any lewdness in his action. In order to better accompany his boyfriend, he climbed onto his feet in front of him, which forced Wen Ning to hug him more securely against him so that the precious being that he had extraordinarily conquered would not fall from him hands.
Nie HuaiSang smiled comparable to the sweetness of crushed tulips.
He took advantage of the warmth of the larger body by leaning his head against Wen Ning so that he could clearly hear her heartbeat. Although the scenery was heavenly, Nie HuaiSang felt that in that moment his interior was even more beautiful, so he closed his eyes to better appreciate his happiness.
That is, until Wen Ning managed to trip over his own feet by knocking Nie HuaiSang to the grass and landing on top of him.
Despite the fright, when Nie HuaiSang opened his eyes to an extremely embarrassed Wen Ning propping himself up on his elbows above him, Nie HuaiSang didn't hesitate to burst out laughing.
"S-Sorry, H-Honey...", Wen Ning helped the other to at least kneel beside him.
They looked at each other deeply as if they wanted to be able to predict the future of their relationship by studying their tiny reflection in each other's beautiful eyeballs.
"Let's grow old together," Nie HuaiSang decreed. "I want to be present at every stage of your life from now on."
Wen Ning blushed in agreement.
"At each meeting I saw you differently... I'm happy to be able to accompany the man you've been becoming."
A strong wind blew and the leaves of the trees froze in the sudden dance, the same end took the hair of the two youths. Nie HuaiSang lost his balance on his knees and staggered forward, again being embraced by Wen Ning. It was as if the world around them indicated that they should move forward in that love.
Nie HuaiSang smiled as he fixed his boyfriend's hair and then his own.
Wen Ning noticed only now that after the fall and the wind, Nie HuaiSang's loose clothing had the sleeves and part of the back drooping lower than usual. Feeling the soft hand that directly touched the fur on his shoulder, Wen Ning realized that the state of his clothing was not that different.
They ridiculously wore clothes that didn't fit them. Nie HuaiSang chuckled, smoothing the fabric over the other's shoulder. Wen Ning, who until then still had his hand on the younger's waist, couldn't resist moving his touch up to the exposed skin, feeling the softness and then landing between the ends of his hair.
Nie HuaiSang shivered at the touch, grabbing the base of Wen Ning's neck with his left hand and bringing his right to the younger's face.
They deserved it, for persisting, for following their hearts. Nie HuaiSang had conquered the fear of love, Wen Ning had ignored the storm of discouraging comments.
They were strong enough to face the consequences of their involvement, their mutual willingness to get lost in each other's immensity.
Now they settled into caresses, their faces getting closer, mouths parted and eyes fascinated. They couldn't just express it in words. No, not this time, not just words.
"I-I...", Wen ning began quietly.
"I know!", Nie HuaiSang completed confidently.
And just like that, the lips finally came together. Wen Ning accompanied Nie HuaiSang with caresses on his face. They expressed through the kiss everything that words were not able to encompass. And, every second, they were moved and delighted with the sacred and longed for exchange.
All the love that their youthful bodies had carried until that day was spilling over into each other in this new and pleasurable dance that, at least in this one, the two were discovering that they were very good.
