[ Xingqiu isn't alone with his red face. They're a pair of tomatoes in the rain, ruddy and shy, both tingling in the aftermath of their mutual first kiss. He won't explain how much he'd planned for this, or how much he had to hype himself up to make that move in the movie theater. Weeks of preparation. It would have gone perfectly if not for the literal brawl between women that broke out, an extremely unexpected twist, but this ... is good too. ]
Nn.
[ Chongyun's voice is low as he leads the way back to his apartment. They're already drenched from the storm, so there's little point in ducking into one of the flickering convenience stores to buy an umbrella now. It soaks to the bone, but he barely feels it when every one of his nerves is focused on the faint warmth of Xingqiu's hand in his. ]
I ... [ his voice breaks a little, a touch of rasp coloring its normal smoothness as his adam's apple bobs. awkwardly, he clears his throat. ] I wouldn't... mind... another one.
[ That's a yes. That's very much a yes. Despite how long it took to work up the strength to make a move, he wants to kiss Xingqiu a lot. Ever since that day he's been thinking about it too much. It's been distracting, even from his normal single-minded pursuit of evil spirits.
But he isn't sure how much is okay. He's never done this before, experience practically in the negatives.
The admission has even the tips of his ears turning red as he trudges forth, leading Xingqiu through the building's lobby and up the stairs to his room. It's quicker than waiting for the elevator, and he's only on the second floor.
Once inside his apartment, he kicks off his soaked shoes and peels off his waterlogged jacket, quickly moving to grab some towels to dry off with. Gently, he presses one into his friend's hands. ]
