The lighting was dim and the only thing keeping them from the darkness was the lamp on their bedside table. The sounds that were coming from the couple were shuffling and some soft chuckles or giggles. This was one of the things that they liked to bask in after their very….interesting activities.
Hua Cheng securely had his beloved in his grasp. Arms wrapped around his waist while his head was nuzzling into the crook of Xie Lian’s neck. Xie Lian was playing with the little wisps of tangled hair that he spotted on the other’s head, making sure that his hair was as silky smooth as it was before.
“Did Gege feel good?” Hua Cheng asked. Xie Lian shook his head while his face started to turn bright red, fingers gripped Hua Cheng’s hair softly.
“Yes.” The other replied, bashfully. “How about San Lang?”
“Amazing.”
Xie Lian’s arms wrapped around Hua Cheng’s neck as Hua Cheng started to lift himself off of his lover’s chest. He hovered over his beloved and stared lovingly into his eyes. He still couldn’t believe how lucky he was to have someone so beautiful, loving him, and even being in the same room or presence.
“I love you.” Hua Cheng was the first to say those words when they first got together. He couldn’t help himself. He was deeply in love and still falling for this beautiful human being in front of him.
Xie Lian’s eyes softened and his mouth cured into a smile. “I love you more.” He challenged.
“Oh so do you?” Hua Cheng leaned in and captured those smooth, soft, and crimson red lips that he loved so much. The kiss was soft, chaste, and maybe even a little hesitant. Hua Cheng lifted Xie Lian’s body to be pushed against his own. The feeling of their bodies becoming one was a feeling that he never knew would be so endearing. He never knew that he would experience a love so pure- okay maybe- and meaningful for the both of them.
They both leaned away from each other as their lips popped. Hua Cheng’s eye softened at how flustered his husband was in the moment.
“I’m going to go to the restroom.” Xie Lian quickly excused himself, his face was burning and so was his entire body. Then he started to notice that he was undressed due to their previous activities. Hua Cheng’s eyebrow lifted at the sight and Xie Lian flushed even more.
The one standing looked around to catch sight of any clothing on the floor that could be used to cover his body. He catches sight of a red robe on the floor and quickly picks it up, even knowing that it’s Hua Cheng’s, Xie Lian knew that his beloved wouldn’t mind seeing him in clothes that belonged to the other. Actually Hua Cheng encouraged it once.
Hua Cheng sighed happily and got up himself, making his way over to his husband.
“This San Lang will be waiting.” Hua Cheng then patted Xie Lian’s hip twice before leaving the room with just sweats on. Xie Lian’s mouth almost drooled at the muscles that Hua Cheng displayed on his back.
Xie Lian quickly collected himself to go to the restroom. He closed the door softly and sighed happily. A smile melted into his face, thinking back to the events that happened a few hours ago. He hasn’t felt luckier. Even if he knows that he is the unluckiest person in the world. The way that Hua Cheng would treat him so gently made him yearn for more. The way that his husband would always ask questions if he was okay or not or if he was being too rough.
The moaning, the gasping, the touches, the cuddling after the intense, flooded his mind full. Xie Lian turned bashful once again and hid his face in his hands. He forgot how there was a mirror right in front of him and he could see himself perfectly. The red and purple marks on his neck and body that would most certainly be there the next day. The way his hair was messed up. And also how he was wearing Hua Cheng’s robe and boxers.
Hua Cheng is now laying down horizontally on their couch. His hand is extended out as he is flipping through channels, trying to find something interesting to watch. Then he heard the door creak in front of him and he quickly tidied himself up, not wanting to look like a mess in front of his husband.
Xie Lian came out, looking less flushed and more comfortable than before. Hua Cheng was still laying horizontally but he seemed to be sitting with his legs extended instead.
“What is San Lang watching?” Xie Lian asked, as his focus went on the TV. Hua Cheng chuckled and shook his head.
“Nothing of importance. Is Gege tired at all?” Hua Cheng and Xie Lian looked at each other with a smile on either face. Hua Cheng has always made sure that Xie Lian is the most comfortable.
“A little.” Xie Lian replied, he rubbed his eyes and yawned a little.
“How about Gege laid on San Lang for a while?” Xie Lian’s eyes widened, “I wouldn’t want to be a disturbance to you.”
Xie Lian has always stated that he didn't want to be a burden and so has Hua Cheng to the other. But both of them die for each other and being a burden or a disturbance to each other was very little. Hua Cheng chuckled and shook his head again.
“Gege is never a disturbance to me.” Hua Cheng loves Xie Lian with all his heart and he would burn the whole world if it meant that they could be together.
Xie Lian hesitated but slowly made his way to the other. His heart pounded in his chest as he saw that Hua Cheng was still shirtless.
“What if I weigh too much?” Xie Lian asked as he started to back away from his husband. He was nervous and this was their first time that Hua Cheng would initiate something like this.
“There’s nothing that this one can’t take.” Hua Cheng replied. Xie Lian looked into his eye and saw the most loving glint. No disgust, no judgment, that was the eye of his beloved and husband. He knew that Hua Cheng could almost handle anything but he knew that there was a limit that Hua Cheng would handle.
Xie Lian nodded and then slowly made his way onto his husband’s lap. Hua Cheng softly guided his waist as he felt Xie Lian begin to stiffen up.
“Relax Gege.”
The other nodded and the two of them started to become more comfortable in the dim light. It was almost pitch black outside plus the glow of the television screen added to the romantic effect.
Hua Cheng had a pillow at the back of his head, almost toppling over onto the floor. His head was on the armrest of the couch while Xie Lian was on his chest, listening to the faint heartbeat. Without Hua Cheng’s shirt, Xie Lian was able to hear the thumping of the other’s heart and it made him start to get sleepy.
“I love you.” Xie Lian said first.
Hua Cheng’s eye widened a little at the 3 words that came out of his husband’s mouth before smiling and resting a kiss at the top of his husband’s head.
“I love you too.”
They both rested until the night was pitch back and Xie Lian was sleeping on Hua Cheng’s chest. Hua Cheng took this opportunity to turn the TV off and swallowed them into darkness. He kissed the temple of his head and then dosed off himself.
