Very well. {The little bump earns a soft smile and, in answer, he kisses Kenma warmly, carefully. He embraces the other to him and gives a little sigh.}
[ The secret is, Kenma's a LITTLE greedy, sometimes. He likes Xie Lian and he likes these bits of affection, so sometimes it's easy to get lost in them. Perhaps he should spare a little more thought for the other's past and relationship. Is this really fine?
But then, arms draw him in and he can't help but lean in for a longer kiss, visibly sinking into the touch. ]
{If Hua Cheng turns up, Xie Lian will be honest with him. But he doubts the ghost will hold this against him - or Kenma for that matter. It's thanks to Kenma, in part, that Xie Lian has been able to keep his sanity.
And what's wrong with showing affection? He smiles at the way Kenma relaxes in his arms, pressing further kisses over his friend's cheek.}
[ And these two are sponges for it, aren't they? His eyes slip closed, casually nudging up into each kiss and encouraging Xie Lian further. Fingers curl, arms pull, and he's happy to keep drawing him in.
{Sponges. Yes. His kisses continue, pressing against Kenma's temple as he tries to tuck the other man as close as possible. He might have lived for eight hundred years, but he has done so as a teenager - with all the awkwardness that entails. It's nice to be calm and comfortable with someone without expectations.}
I've decided on my next wish. I want to show you one of my swords.
It does. {Xie Lian hums soothingly, continuing to stroke over Kenma's bright hair.} I want a blade that was destroyed when Xianle fell. It was given to me by my father and I...
I fought with him too much. I would like to have a piece of him with me.
[ His head tilts down, soothed by the touch and quietly pressing into it, much like he might when he cuddles up to Xie Lian as a cat, too. Funny how those habits tend to kick in. ]
Mmh- it might be nice... to have something like that, from home.

Just like a cat. He can't resist pressing a kiss to Kenma's cheek.}
Do you mind?
{He really should ask that more often.}
no subject
Not at all.
[ His head tips, sloowly bringing his nose to bump into the other's with a gentle nudge. ]
We can kiss more, while I'm here. If you want-

[ Briefly lost in the moment. His eyes flutter, brushing his cheek into Xie Lian's chin and peering up as they sink into each other. ]
Does that... Mean a lot to you?

{Yet...}
I might need to ask for some colorful robes too.

Going to dress up for me as well?
Or do you just miss some of your nicer robes.
[ Ever the tease. ]

{He blinks, playing dumb.}
Then I'll see to it.
Fading here mayhaps?
[ Biased because he likes him? Well, of course. ]
I'll be looking forward to it, then.
Works for me!
Soon.
