Zhu Yan/Yichen
Five days after Zhu Yan unleashed his demonic pressure on the forest in his angry rampage and Nuwa created a seal over the Demon Hunters' Citadel, sending a message to all those with ulterior motives for the Citadel and the demon hunters, Yichen went to the steaming pool in one of the mansion's rooms after another hard day of training with Li Lun, who had taken Zhu Yan's place, so they could learn how to protect themselves from external attacks and mind control, not to mention to keep the privacy of their minds. Since Li Lun couldn't create dimensions or control the ones Zhu Yan had already created, he decided to train them personally while they hunted as a unit within Zhu Yan's training dimension, but with the added bonus that he was also hunting them down and trying to control their minds.
The first day of such grueling training was hell, not only physically, as they had to fight high-level demons in a mythical forest within the dimension, but also trying their best to block Li Lun's mental attacks, which were painful and practically impossible to deflect, except for Ying Lei and his brother Yixuan, which both managed it quite easily. Then Bai Jiu begged Ying Lei for a hint on how to protect themselves from Li Lun's control, which sometimes forced them to do embarrassing things as punishment (like Bai Jiu acting like a chicken, Pei Siheng barking like a dog, Wen Xiao howling like a wolf, Pei Sijing braying like a donkey, and him... well, he didn't even want to remember that humiliation). After Ying Lei laughed contentedly at all their animal imitations, including his behaving like a frog, which traumatized him a bit, Ying Lei explained how to create mental shields, and although their second day of training was just as humiliating, at least it lasted less that time.
The third day was a true mind war, as they slaughtered all the demons in their way mercilessly and prepared for Li Lun's painful assault. They resisted his commands for the first few minutes, and even if their shields were broken, they were able to raise them again and again. By the fourth day, it was easier to resist Li Lun for longer periods, and by the fifth day, they were able to defend themselves, and even when their shields were broken at some point under his pressure, they were still able to resist his commands to act like animals.
During those five exhausting days, he had missed Zhu Yan in his bed terribly, realizing how pampered he had been each night when Zhu Yan soothed his pain, hugged him to share his warmth, and made him feel safe. He also craved his closeness, his gentleness, his arms wrapped around his waist, his soft kisses, his innuendos, and even his shameless comments. Now, the softness of his bed was useless without him, as he only fell asleep exhausted without any real rest, and he wished he had his perverted monkey back by his side.
Li Lun had told him that Zhu Yan's cultivation was probably higher than expected, as he had absorbed so much demonic energy from the forest, but once he achieved it, he would be the first one he would seek out no matter where he was: in his room, in his training dimension, in the cultivation room, in the kitchen, outside, in the forest, in the Citadel while bringing supplies along with Ying Lei, or anywhere else he happened to be. Although Zhu Yan didn't possess natural teleportation powers like Li Lun, that didn't mean he couldn't travel great distances, after all, he was also half-dragon.
With a sigh, Yichen clean himself of all the sweat from training after so many hours of running through the creepy demon-infested forest that Zhu Yan had created for training, as well as all the effort it had taken to block Li Lun's repeated intrusions into his mind, not to mention all the attacks he had launched with his damn vines! He was bruised all over, not to mention the scratches he gained when dragged across the ground, just like the rest, including poor Wen Xiao, who demanded that Li Lun heal her face every time she got a cut. Yichen smiled to himself remembering that, as it seemed that the women in his unit were fiercer than the men by far.
"Come on, Zhu Yan... I miss you... Please come back now... Li Lun is too much..." Yichen whined as he submerged himself in the warm water of the large magical pool to try to relax his aching muscles and clean his long hair.
As he hurriedly stood up, gasping for air, moving his head back in time with the motion of his body to get his wet hair away from his face, splashing water at the back of the pool where he bathed alone (since all of the men refused to bathe with him in case Zhu Yan suddenly show up, for which he bathed at night after everyone got out), he didn't notice that he was being watched. Well, that was not exactly right, but rather a demon who had just finish his cultivation was admiring him with great hunger in his eyes. As Yichen wiped the warm water from his face, said demon approached his lover, with crimson eyes, demonic tattoos on his cheeks, long pure white hair, and pitch-black claws instead of nails, all that because he was still caught in the small remnants of his cultivation.
Then Yichen turned his head to look back and was surprised to see him standing there, looking even more like the demon he was than Yichen was used to seeing. Even so, the young man stay there, almost paralyzed by the mesmerizing sight of Zhu Yan after five long days without his presence.
"Zhu Yan..." He whispered as he watched the great demon walk slowly to the edge of the pool, like a predator to his prey, his eyes never leaving Yichen's bare chest, as the steaming water reached his ribs, which only increased Zhu Yan's desire for the beautiful man he could call his own.
"Xiao Zhou... you are too beautiful, too perfect, too tempting right now, that I'm afraid I may not be able to control myself this time..."
"I was told you were going to be in some kind of heat after your cultivation..."
"Who told you that?"
"Li Lun."
"That stupid grumpy tree head... was he the one who gave you those bruises too?" Zhu Yan asked hoarsely.
"Him and some other demons in your training dimensions. Let me tell you, they're all chillingly creepy. We trained with him in your absence, and he was merciless, but even I had to admit that his training, ruthless as it was, somewhat paid off. We are better at building shields and fighting high-level demons now. It was your initial idea before you... well, got angry and absorbed most of the forest's demonic energy, so we thought it was better to follow it, so not to waste the time and let you cultivate as long as you need it."
"So, you didn't miss me?" Zhu Yan almost pouted, and Yichen laughed.
"Are you kidding me? I prayed every night for you to show up, and I'd rather have you train me than Li Lun. At the very least, you would have healed my wounds after training, hugged me, stayed in bed with me, warmed me up... kissed me..." Yichen whispered, blushing, but he didn't take his eyes off Zhu Yan, whose crimson eyes shone with a deeper desire.
"Yichen..."
"I know what you seek from me. I have five days to understand what it means to become a demon lover. Even though you may look human most of the time, deep down, you're still an monkey..."
"An ape... a white ape, or a white dragon, for that matter." Zhu Yan sighed, and Yichen smirked.
"Of course... because an ape isn't a monkey..."
"Xiao Zhuo, you..."
"Zhu Yan, I'm willing... I'm willing to be with you however you need, not because I'm forced to, but because it's what I want too. Just one thing..."
"What?"
"Whatever we do, don't mark me, don't make me your mate yet." Zhu Yan cursed Li Lun under his breath, suddenly badly wanting to set a pagoda tree on fire, which made Yichen smile.
"It's not his fault, in fact, it's a good thing he told me about your heat mode. I sincerely love you Zhu Yan and miss you like you have no idea, but even if I want to be your mate as much as you do, that can't interfere with what we still have to do. The stakes are so high that we can't reveal who we are before we reach the Crystal Valley, otherwise, this mission could be over before it even begins. So promise me, Zhu Yan, that you won't mark me until we find Bing Yi, everything else is allowed."
"Everything? You sure about that?" Zhu Yan asked in eager anticipation.
"Yes."
"Then I promise you, Zhuo Yichen, that I will do my best to restrain my instinct. If I break my promise and mark you before we find Bing Yi, you can kill whenever you want, since only with death can my mark be erased."
"Stupid monkey, don't curse yourself like that!" Yichen exclaimed angrily and Zhu Yan laughed. Then in a movement so quick that Yichen didn't have time to see or register it, Zhu Yan was in the water, pulling him close and kissing him with passion, making his heart overwhelmed with strong emotions he had keep under lock while Zhu Yan cultivate.
Yichen had been fantasizing about this moment for a while, so he let Zhu Yan set the pace, follow his passion, let him touch his already naked body as he pleased while he moaned with the intense pleasure. He loved him badly enough to offer himself to him, so he relaxed and simply let Zhu Yan love him back. He knew that Zhu Yan will never hurt him, thus he trust him, there was no need to hide anything nor shame in what they shared. And Zhu Yan make his blood boil with every deep kiss, make his mind go dark as his heart threatened to blow inside his chest.
"Yichen... I love you..."
"Me too, please don't stop..." He whisper between kisses and didn't resist when Zhu Yan lifted him on his arms and sit him at the border of the pool, exposing him in full as they keep kissing, while Zhu Yan press him closer. Then he give up on his mouth to explore his wet neck, which Zhu Yan licked with his warm tongue from his earbud all the way down toward the curve of his shoulder. By then, Yichen was rock hard and the intensity of the sensations over his heated skin, as long as his member slightly rubbing over Zhu Yan's fancy wet robes, make him moan as he arched his back. His wet hair falling like dark rivers over his back and pool floor as Zhu Yan claws retrieved into normal nails that very softly traced down his wide shoulders, pass his spine and down his hips, sending pleasant fire sparks signals all over his skin that make Yichen crazy.
"Zhu Yan... Oh gods..." But the great demon was only just getting started and he gently pushed Yichen away, just enough so that he could admire Xiao Zhuo's fair skin, his tall, slender body that was just too alluring, perfectly smooth and toned in all the right places and even if there were traces of training bruises, Yichen was beautiful in his crimson eyes and most of all, he wanted to taste that pink fountain of his desire that was pulsing with anticipation.
Yichen, on the other hand, felt his cheeks flush with embarrassment as he caught Zhu Yan's gaze. He was shy most of the time when Zhu Yan relentlessly teased him, but he couldn't deny the intense feelings that stirred inside him, already burning him from the inside out. He had always admired Zhu Yan's confidence and beauty, and he found himself drawn to the great demon, which was still unfairly dressed.
"Take off your clothes..." Yichen ordered Zhu Yan, but Zhu Yan only smiled mockingly in return.
"Xiao Zhuo, that's your job. Come and undress me piece by piece." Zhu Yan said, opening his arms in invitation. Yichen blushed even more as he grabbed his belt with trembling fingers. His robe, a deep wine and gold, floated in the water after being release from the belt hold. Then Yichen pulled Zhu Yan between his legs to remove the first layer, letting it completely fall into the water. The second layer had a small bow that he easily untied and once again, let the precious piece fall, as did the next, until the last one finally revealed what he wanted to see, Zhu Yan's perfect skin, his nipples already hard from previous touches and kissing.
He stared with intense ardor at Zhu Yuan's nakedness, memorizing every curve of his skin, every bone, every muscle that made him so alluring. When Zhu Yan looked at him in amusement, Yichen kissed him hard before he could ruin the special moment by asking him if he liked what he was admiring. Stupid monkey, but he was so turned on by him that he too explored that beautiful masterpiece beneath his fingers and found it hot... and he meant really hot, since Zhu Yan's heat was apparently literal, beyond what it implied.
So he played with Zhu Yan's nipples as they kissed, earning a deep moan from him and a more desperate kiss, but Yichen wanted to hear more from Zhu Yan, much more and his hands ran all the way to the edge of his pants which made Zhu Yan gasp, then went lower right over Zhu Yan's hardness, throbbing hard as he wrapped his hand over it.
Although Yichen was inexperienced by all means, it didn't mean he didn't know how to please a man, being one himself, thus he did to Zhu Yan all those things that he wanted done to him. He wanted for Zhu Yan to feel not only his desire but his love, which was the fuel to his sudden boldness and confidence that he could make him yell his name while lost on feelings. And he tasted Zhu Yan's hard nipple while rubbing his hard erection under the warm water and was pleased to find that Zhu Yan was quite satisfied with his performance so far, as more red demonic tattoos came to life on the sides of his pulsing neck and on his shoulders, also as he gently teased Zhu Yan's sensitive head underwater, seen traces of his skin turning glossy, with a hint of scales.
"Xiao Zhuo... If you don't want me to mark you... don't tease me too far..." Zhu Yan warned him, as he gently gather Yichen's flushed face in his hands, loving when his beautiful eyes brighten to electrifying turquoise blue, but Yichen had dream with that moment for days and he wanted to prove that he can be a good lover for a half monkey, half dragon, demon. The strongest of them all, the one who love him so tenderly, the one who make his heart go wild, the one he has come to treasure and want him by his side for life.
So he suddenly pushed Zhu Yan backward into the water. Taking Zhu Yan by surprise as he sink and feel warm lips kissing him as their bodies pressed together below the water, until Zhu Yan pull them both above to breath and kiss again. The kiss became intense, the caresses scorching, and when Yichen pulled down Zhu Yan's pants and rubbed his own erection against his. Zhu Yan found it hard to resist what his entire body was screaming at him to do, because he wanted that beautiful man, he need him, he could feel it in his very soul that he no longer could go on living without him by his side.
Yet to his intense dismay, his once timid Yichen was turning into a wolf in sheep's clothing, even more so when he pushed himself to wrap his legs around Zhu Yan's waist while holding him tightly by the shoulders. The feel of Yichen's strong legs around his waist made his member harden even more, and his desire increased tenfold. His young lover was practically offering himself to him on a silver platter, but by that moment Zhu Yan was already fighting hard against his natural urge to claim him, to mark him, to tell the rest of the world that this magnificent young man belonged to him, that Zhu Yan, the great demon, loved him desperately and would die for him with a smile on his face if it meant saving his life.
However, Yichen pushed his instincts even further as he began to move up and down, whispering his name, their erections rubbing so deliciously together as their mouths collided with passion, desire, and need, that Zhu Yan could feel more of his skin turn into scales. Then, those sinful moans escaping Yichen's throat drove him wild as Zhu Yan kissed his neck feeling his fast pulse under his lips, he could even hear Yichen's heartbeats race inside his chest as he so deliberately press and moved over him, enjoying every bit of what he was feeling in turn. An 'I love you' escape from Yichen's lips and Zhu Yan set himself to worship him, kissing everything on his reach, his lips, his chin, his ear, his neck, his shoulder, and Adam's apple in a near frenzy. One he was starting to lose.
"Yichen... please... if I can't take you because that would make me lose myself completely, then you take me this time. I'm as much yours as you are mine, have me your way... don't hold back..." Zhu Yan offered instead, and with a voice that was barely human.
Yet Yichen was not going to take advantage of him, knowing that he was about to lose control, so he went to dawn and carefully pushed Zhu Yan once again into the border of the pool, so he could sit, which Zhu Yan did as his long white wet hair stick into his well defined chest and Yichen pull out his pants all the way out of his legs, making them part. Zhu Yan closed his eyes expecting for Yichen to push him back again, but his hot young man, seemingly determined to make him lose his mind, took his erection deep into his mouth and sucked it instead, then he fell backward with a spasm of pleasure, arching his back, making his erection hit deeper into Yichen mouth.
"This is madness... Xiao Zhuo... have mercy on me." Zhu Yan moaned at the feel of that soft, hot tongue on him, while he held the base of his erection with one hand and caressed his balls with the other. Zhu Yan was tempted to roar, a dragon-like roar that would break his will even further, so he bit his arm to hold it in while Yichen continued his wonderful work on his member. Soon, Zhu Yan couldn't hold it in any longer and pulling himself up, he gently grabbed Yichen's long black hair and pulled it slightly, freeing himself from this deadly but quite desirable torture.
"Zhu Yan.. why..." Those innocent shining blue eyes, showing doubt for the first time were his doom. He didn't pull out because he didn't like what he was doing, but because he was losing his control under such intensity.
"You're too good, Xiao Zhu... If you keep this up, I may even turn into a dragon right here." Zhu Yan whisper as he look down on him, now seen surprise followed by an enchanting smile mixed with that lovely blush he adored so much.
"You like it Zhu Yan?" His beloved asked him and Zhu Yan almost laughed at his cuteness.
"I didn't just like it, but love every single thing you did to me. Now, let me return the pleasure, my Xiao Zhuo." With little effort, he lifted Yichen from the water and gently placed him on the ground. This time, he was the one taking his hard erection into his mouth, showing Yichen the same extreme pleasure he had given him, drowning in his young lover's gasps, moans, and whispers, telling him he loved him. So, Zhu Yan kept up the pace, driving Yichen closer and closer to the edge until he climaxed with spasms, his slender body shuddering as Zhu Yan took it all before coming too in waves of pleasure and words of love.
This was only their first intimate encounter, but Zhu Yan came so close to losing control it was almost laughable. Who said inexperienced young men couldn't please more experienced lovers in their first time? Because to him, Yichen couldn't have been more perfect, and he told him so, overjoyed at the charming smile Yichen gift him. After a few minutes of resting and cuddling on the cold floor, Zhu Yan finally stood up and lift Yichen up before putting him down to use a spell to clean, dry and dress back. As they stepped out of the hot spring pool, the mansion was quiet and plunged into darkness, so they walked upstairs hand in hand to snuggle back under the covers. Then Zhu Yan healed all of Yichen's bruises, leaving him in a deep, blissful, and very cozy sleep in the arms of the one where he belong.
Li Lun/Yixuan
That night, Li Lun finally took out the sphere Nuwa had given him, while claiming it was Ying Long's memory of the moment he had a vision of his future. He didn't entirely trust Nuwa's words, but as he trained Yixuan and the rest of the unit, he began to connect with them, getting to know them a little better. Despite his initial refusal to look at the memory, he eventually couldn't resist the temptation. Zhuo Yixuan was very talented, and with Nuwa's protection, he didn't need the training to block him or anyone else from his mind. It had been a pleasure fighting alongside him, experiencing his strength and limitations, and finding him very adaptable and smart in combat.
Zhuo Yichen was undeniable strong for his age and with his mastered Bing Yi techniques, he moved with the agility and energy of a youth, speed, stamina and precision, and was difficult to catch with his vines most of the time and he seem to have a certain sense of his demonic energy that prevent him from taking him by surprise before he could strike. However, like most members of his young unit, he had difficulty with mental shields. While he was surprisingly good at most aspects of being a young demons hunter, trained by one of the best in the field, which was his own father, he lacked the experience of someone who had risked his life for decades, giving Li Lun an opening to play with him a bit. Zhuo Yixuan, on the other hand, was strong and experienced, and seemed to enjoy their brief exchange a little too much.
Li Lun had lived long enough to recognize physical attraction, but right now, he wondered if that was all there was to it, and it made him curious about the future they were supposedly destined to share. That was why he held that golden sphere in the palm of his hand, eager to discover the secrets within. So, with a curse, for been unable to resist the lure, he plunged into memory and found himself face to face with a smiling Ying Long, just as he remembered him from their brief time traveling together. Strong, yet tender, that was what Li Lun think of him, which only brought him a wave of nostalgia and mourning. Ying Long was a very caring demon god, difficult to hate, no matter how hard he tried to convince himself of it.
"Li Lun, I knew you'd find me here, someday." Ying Long said in that soft, reassuring voice that reminded him of Yixuan.
"He is really very good for you and you know I have never lie to you, Li Lun, for I've seen how much you need someone by your side, and since I took Zhu Yan from you, I feel somewhat responsible for your centuries of loneliness."
"I have other friends too, so don't talk nonsense."
"Oh, you mean Ao Ying? I suppose she helps you fill that void from time to time, but what you two develop isn't exactly friendship. At first, it was unrequited love on her part, but after she got over it, your relationship became more like spy and master than friendship."
"That's still nonsense. I didn't come here to hear about Ao Yin's past. She had her own destiny, which she could freely choose, whether by my side or not."
"That's true, so let me show you what a possible future could be. You were very young when I had this vision, so bear it with me, as it began when you and Zhu Yan became best friends."
In his vivid memory, he saw himself playing with Zhu Yan in an open field filled with flowers. They chased butterflies, like the children they were, for he had cultivated human form from a young age for a pagoda tree. But back then, the world energy they used to cultivate was purer and stronger, and if one became aware of their own existence and focused hard on cultivating that energy to its very roots, anything could reach the depth of cultivation necessary to transform within a relatively short period of time. Of course, this focus couldn't waver due to distractions until reaching a high level of cultivation; otherwise, the cultivation would fail and have to start all over again. This was the reason why very few plants or tree demons took longer than animals to transform.
He was fortunate that his seed grew near a steep cliff, in a misty forest overlooking a deep valley, quiet and solitary for most of the time, with the occasional visit from a stray animal. With so few distractions, he quickly gained strength, to the point where he no longer needed to bury his roots in the earth, as he could sustain himself with the energy he absorbed from his surroundings. He then took human form and began to explore the world, its wonders and dangers, before encountering a small demon with long white hair and red eyes.
As a tree demon, he shouldn't be too curious about other demons, as he had learned the hard way that not all were friendly, especially beasts. However, Zhu Yan was different, he was an curious child, eager to play with anything or anyone under the watchful eyes of two powerful gods. At first, he met Zhu Yan alone, and they became friends almost instantly, but when the two gods came looking for him, he was afraid to approach them. However, Zhu Yan couldn't take a no for an answer and introduced him to his parents, who welcomed him with a kindness and warmth he'd never experienced before. So he ended up following them and growing stronger alongside Zhu Yan.
It was there that Ying Long had his vision, as he watched them play from afar in that beautiful and peaceful valley of flowers. Now, he began to see himself grow, becoming Zhu Yan's best friend, cultivating together, training together, growing stronger and more mature to embark on their own adventures, traveling the world, gaining experience, exploring, fighting the increasing numbers of uncontrolled beasts, and deepening their cultivation. By the time they left the protection of Bing Yi and Ying Long, they were already great demons, but still far from the strongest. Because Li Lun was obsessed with strength, Zhu Yan followed him suit, and they soon reached their peak, becoming known among other demons, starting to forge their own legends.
Then the war came and Zhu Yan decided to fight alongside Bing Yi, as he too believed that the demons had become too bloodthirsty and were killing way too many humans to be left unchecked. He was always fascinated by humans so this decision didn't really come as a surprise to him, but it pained him nonetheless as Zhu Yan was his faithful companion for so long that he hated the prospect of being alone after learning what companionship was and hated both Bing Yi and Ying Long for taking that blissful part away from him for so long.
The images then move forward beyond the war, beyond his many centuries of solitude in his demon world, a cage Ying Long created for them, but he still longed to break out of it, challenging Zhu Yan from time to time. But beyond that, there was Zhuo Yixuan, their first meeting, his trip to the Crystal Valley, the picking of the flower, their training, his yearning and upon sneaking into Yixuan's room one night just like that one and watching him sleep, he understood why Yixuan was chosen.
His beauty was captivating, but what drew him most was his personality, his kind heart, his promise of true companionship beyond that he received from Zhu Yan. Unable to resist the temptation, he leaned in and kissed his soft lips as he slept, which, of course, woke him up and opened the door to a painful onslaught of further future scenes where they kissed passionately, made love, fought together, traveled together, and lived together in both the human and demon worlds. He saw himself smiling, happy, enjoying that life, praying it would never end, taking care of Yixuan to make sure he never lose him to his human side, and unwanted tears run down his cheeks.
That Li Lun had obtained everything he had ever wanted: companionship, love, affection, friends who were there for him and Yixuan, whether he wanted it or not, and so much happiness. His handsome face even had small wrinkles at the corners of his lips from smiling and laughing for so many years, something he never imagined he could do, and he wanted it all. He desperately needed that connection, which, when taken away from him, plunged him into darkness, into hatred for humans, into resentment toward Zhu Yan, Bing Yi, and Ying Long, even though all of it was useless, for it couldn't fill the void.
However, Zhuo Yixuan, with his calm personality and sincere caring, could make all the difference. He could be the one to finally end his darkness and fill his emptiness, as he had seen in the years to come. If such a future were possible, if he could achieve such bliss, if he could be cherished and loved as he saw Yixuan do, not for a short time, but for almost an eternity despite their differences, he didn't mind being greedy. He wanted it, he craved it, and determined, he left his room on the third floor like a thief in the night and used his power to gently open the door to Yixuan's room.
He wasn't sure Zhu Yan had more than soundproof seals on every room, so he used his power to enter and see him there, resting peacefully in his bed, his long, soft hair spread out over the sheets like a silky fan. He was beautiful, human or future demigod, it didn't matter, what mattered was that he was there, always open to him, always willing, never judging him for what he was by nature and he was a fool to deny himself this opportunity offered to him almost as a gift to become who he truly wanted to be and stop being the shelf of his former self.
That night, as he had seen it, he stood at the foot of Yixuan's bed, his dark brown eyes locked onto the man who had open his heart for him to enter. He was confident in his looks, and in the way Yixuan welcome him, but as he watch him sleep, he hesitate, despite his previous reassurance. He could see the rise and fall of Yixuan chest, the way his lips parted slightly as he slept.
Li Lun's heart suddenly pounded harder in his chest, a mix of anticipation and fear. He had never felt this way before, never wanted someone as much as he wanted Zhuo Yixuan at that moment. Yixuan stirred in bed, perhaps sensing his presence and his eyes fluttered open as Li Lun's sit by his side and let his fingers gently traced the line of his jaw.
"Li Lun?" Yixuan whispered, his voice hoarse from sleep and a hint of surprise, but not rejection.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as he sat up and looked at him with those beautiful caramel eyes, calm and patient, as always. Encouraged by his willingness, Li Lun leaned down and his lips brushing against Yixuan's ear.
"I couldn't stay away. I took one look at the future that Nuwa promise me and decided I want it if you want it too." He murmured with a low growl. Yixuan held his breath, his body responding to Li Lun's words and he reached out, tangling his fingers in Li Lun's long hair as he pulled him closer.
"Yes, I do. How about we try something simple first? You can leave if it's not what you want, if you don't feel anything, or if it doesn't seem like what you expected. I won't be offended or pressure you into anything you're not willing to have." Yixuan whispered, and Li Lun smirked.
"You're such a confident man, what's up with that?" Li Lun teased.
"You dislike humans, and I'm still one."
"You are, but if that future can come true, believe me, I don't care about that anymore."
"What did you see?" Yixuan asked curiously.
"Happiness... a life full of it..." Yixuan smiled.
"So you want to try?" Yixuan asked as he leaned toward him, making Li Lun feel his warmth and his own body yearn for him.
"Yes." Li Lun's lips crashed into Yixuan's in a passionate kiss that left him breathless, his tongue exploring the depths of his mouth and Yixuan moaning as he arched his body against Li Lun's to deepen the kiss. It felt good, it felt incredible, it felt like the missing pieces of his puzzle were finally falling into place, and Li Lun could no longer deny that Yixuan had him hooked from the start, from the moment he cast that spell that had him trapped ever since.
"Li Lun..." Yixuan whispered against his lips.
"What?" he murmured, capturing Yixuan's mouth once more in a fiery kiss.
"Did I pass?" Yixuan teased, and Li Lun leaned over him, gently pushing him onto the bed, this time with his full weight on top of him.
"By far..." Li Lun whispered, continuing the frenzy of kisses, not wanting it to end anytime soon. It was still too early to take another step, but for now, Li Lun was content with what had started, eagerly awaiting that wonderful future without any more pain, as he had always want it.
AN: Ah, such lovely pairs, hope you like the heat, sorry, not Li Lun/Yixuan hot scene yet, they are just starting, while Zhu Yan and Yichen had already miles ahead of them. Thanks for reading and until next time, please take care.
