[ He strokes over the beautiful feathers and slowly moves them out of the water, summoning clothes for himself with a flex of power. Then settles the pretty dove in his lap. ]
I remember the first time I transformed here. You were with me then, and reassured me all was well. Any form you take is just as it should be. There is no unfortunate about it.
I like you too. [Xingchen tucks his head under his wing bashfully, his tail feathers wiggling.]
Ah...distracting? [He tilts his head and nibbles on Runyu's fingers. Gently.] He said he wanted to keep me safe! The wind is rough in Winter when you're this size.
[ Yes, yes he is! Runyu smiles softly at the cooing, happy to keep stroking those feathers since Xingchen clearly enjoys the attention. His smile fades to concern and he holds the delicate little bird close. ]
But you found him, and now he knows that you are still with him.
I don't- [ he's interrupted as the magic reverses, leaving him with a lapful of Xiao Xingchen! His cheeks pink a little, but Runyu only wraps his arms around the other's waist to make sure he's supported and, hopefully, comfortable. ]
[Pinking with embarrassment, Xingchen is about to shift out of Runyu's lap when he is...welcomed? Supported? He looks up and catches Runyu's gaze, smiling shyly.]
[ His hold is loose enough that Xingchen could easily slip free if he so wishes, but warm enough to let the other man know he doesn't need to move. Runyu dares to rest their foreheads together as he holds the sweet, handsome man. ]
[He doesn't want to move. Runyu feels safe and warm. Xingchen grins into the contact and slips his arms around his A-Yu's shoulders. It feels good just to hold him.]
[ He doesn't need to! Runyu treasures the contact and holds Xingchen closer as his eyes close. Peace settles over him and he chuckles at the silly words. ]
Birds are usually quite light, so they may fly easily. You are still light, A-Chen.
[ Xingchen is so warm, Runyu can't help but be drawn to him. The fingers in his hair have him shiver and he flushes shyly. But only tightens his hold a little, welcoming anything Xingchen wants from him. He smiles at the promise. ]
[What he wants...ah. It feels dangerous to say. He doesn't want to hurt Xue Yang, yet there has been...room in their hearts and their beds...for one more. Especially since Zichen left. Xingchen holds onto Runyu tighter as he thinks over what to say.
[ Xingchen could do anything, and Runyu would accept it without comment. But he loves how those arms tighten around him. Loves just being held. He chuckles quietly at the cute fussing. ]
[Runyu deserves to be treated with love and respect. Xingchen will not do less for him! He kisses his A-Yu's shoulder and tucks him close, his eyes half-closed.]

[And that is precious.]
[Action]
Date: 2023-11-14 09:05 pm (UTC)From:You are safe with me, A-Chen. I will allow no harm to come to you.
But do not believe yourself helpless even like this. Birds are capable of a great deal of damage if they put their mind to it.

[He chuckles and nuzzles Runyu's hand.]

Date: 2023-11-14 09:17 pm (UTC)From:They have claws and their beaks are sharp. But they are very soft and beautiful. And the dove that is Xiao Xingchen is very bright.

Date: 2023-11-14 09:26 pm (UTC)From:A-Yu, are you flirting with me? [He chuckles too.] You should see A-Yang. One of his forms is a snowy owl. I rode on his back!
[Action]
Date: 2023-11-14 09:34 pm (UTC)From:I speak only the truth. But I do like you, a great deal A-Chen.
[ Which is why he's accepting the invitation to see if he can join Xingchen with his Xue Yang. If the other man accepts him too. ]
I can imagine that must have been fun. And perhaps distracting for him.
[ Maybe he's teasing again! ]

[ Runyu smiles softly. ]
I'm glad he seeks to protect you.

Date: 2023-11-15 12:04 pm (UTC)From:How do I stop being distracting? [Is being distracting good?]
He always protects me and I try to protect him.

Date: 2023-11-15 04:20 pm (UTC)From:[ He continues to stroke over the pretty white feathers. ]
I'm sure you both succeed.

Date: 2023-11-16 12:05 am (UTC)From:When Zichen disappeared, Xue Yang was heartbroken. I think he thought I left him too. I had to find him and carry him home.

Date: 2023-11-16 12:17 am (UTC)From:I did. He didn't let go of me all night.
[His poor A-Yang. Suddenly, the magic reverses and Xingchen is, thankfully clothed, and sitting in Runyu's lap.]
Oh!

Date: 2023-11-16 12:27 am (UTC)From:I don't blame him for holding onto you.

[Action]
Date: 2023-11-16 01:54 am (UTC)From:I'm much too heavy to be a dove, though.
