[ Huaisang set the bag on the counter and starts pulling out items to make sure anything that needed to be in the fridge got there. He stopped short as he felt the other's arms around his waist, the broad torso against his back and he swallows. Yeah, he's imagined this feeling before. He bites his lip and tries to focus on finishing what he's doing.
It works for all of half a second before he turns, his hands resting on the other's chest smoothing upward as he looks at him and then his eyes lower to look at his lips.
All his worries about this are still there, that they'd do this and that it'd go all kinds of wrong and then his brother would end up unfortunately in the middle of it. Their social circles were so entangled... he'd never had a relationship work and he'd never cared that they didn't before. ]
Is it okay not to tell everyone right away?
[ To make sure this is going to be a real thing, that they're not going to realize it's a mistake. ]
[ It makes him frown a little, but it isn't something completely out of the blue, so his response is immediate. He understands the risks that come with moving from friendship to something more, particularly when everyone they care about are so closely connected.
It would be hard for him to lie, but he is better at keeping secrets for others.
He pulls one hand from Huaisang's waist to cup his cheek instead, fingers splayed under his jaw and thumb stroking over his cheekbone. ]
There is nothing that could make me stop caring for you, A-Sang. Even if we discover we do not work as romantic partners, or we are not sexually compatible - I will still want to be a part of your life.
[ Why does Lan Xichen have to be so good? Huaisang feels his heart skipping beats in his chest as the other cups his cheek, as he gives him assurances that Huaisang hadn't even asked for, hadn't known he'd wanted. He didn't know what it would be like if they didn't work, if they weren't sexually compatible. A part of everything between them had for so long been the tension they'd ignored -- Huaisang had ignored.
There's nothing that he could say in return to that and so he tilts his head up a little more as he leans up to press his lips to the other's. His hands coming to the other's sides, curling into his shirt. He feels a spark the moment their lips touch, the way the other's hands had felt like fire on on his skin.
He has a feeling sexual compatibility is probably not going to be an issue for them. ]
[ Because Huaisang deserves it, deserves someone who will make him feel cherished. And Xichen wants to be that person.
He tilts his head down to meet him when Huaisang goes in for a kiss, and there's a sharp inhale followed by a soft sigh at the first brush of their lips. It takes him a moment to come to terms with the fact that this is real - despite his words, it feels like they've been friends for so long, never acknowledging what could be between them, that it's hard to believe this is happening.
But he very quickly wants more, and his hand slides forward to curl around the back of Huaisang's neck as he deepens the kiss.
If he's honest, Xichen had never really doubted their sexual compatibility. ]
Let me take you to bed. I promised you a good night's sleep, did I not? In the morning, I'll make you breakfast.
[ Huaisang doesn't have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that this is real. Once their lips touch everything feels so real that he wouldn't have been able to deny it if he tries. The way the other kisses him, the press of his lips, the small taste that Huaisang is getting of him that makes him hungry for more.
A small sound escapes as the other's hand comes to the back of his neck, a mewl into the kiss, soft little sounds seeming to be impossible for him to hold back as it deepens.
His eyes barely open when the other speaks and he is still pressed close to him and he really wants to be kissing him again. ]
Mhm. [ Huaisang agrees but he's pressing another kiss to his lips, pressing forward as if to start pushing the other toward the bedroom. ]
[ It's intoxicating, kissing Huaisang like this. He wants to drink in the sounds he makes, to see how many more he can pull from him, to kiss him until they're both breathless and dazed -
And he can, now, he doesn't have to try to resist watching Huaisang's lips and imagining how they'd look red and kiss-bitten. Even as Huaisang presses forward, he refuses to stop, dropping tiny lingering kisses while he maneuvers backwards. ]
Preferences? [ It's a murmur in between kisses - he'd meant to be more clear, to ask more than just one word, but it's a struggle to stop kissing him long enough to even say that. Still, he manages to separate enough to add a slightly playful follow up. ] Or will you allow me to press you down and have my way with you?
[ Huaisang smirks just a little at the question once they manage to stop kissing. The kissing is addictive-- Xichen tastes so good and he's really, really an amazing kisser. He thinks he's not going to be able to ever get enough of it. He manages to push Xichen all the way to his room, drawing the other in for another kiss before answering. ]
Yes. Have your way with me this time.
[ It's a bit mischievous as if there's a promise that Huaisang will have his way at some point too. ]
[ He sounds delighted as he repeats it. Not only because there is a thrill at getting to have his way with Huaisang tonight and a pleased curiosity at what Huaisang might do if he gave him free rein - but because this time promises more times, that he will get to have this again and again.
But for now - he has such a lovely present before him, and he wants more than anything to unwrap it.
He slides his hands under Huaisang's shirt, pushing it up as he explores the expanse of warm skin under his hands - fingertips brushing teasingly up his stomach before flattening out, sweeping his palms over his ribs and up his chest. ]
[ Huaisang hums in agreement. This time. He can't help but want a next time already. There's no getting Lan Xichen out of his system that fast -- or at all, really. Xichen's hands are warm on his skin and as they move over his rips, Huaisang grabs the edge of his shirt to pull it off and discard it on the floor.
His hands move to work off Xichen's shirt as well, wanting to expose the skin to his eyes and not just his hands. And he finds his way into giving Xichen another hungry kiss. ]
