He chuckles and shakes his head. "I don't mind working hard for the right to stay with you." To prove himself to the Heavens, and that Runyu is better than they believe.

"I look forward to working with you."

"I look forward to guiding you."

Runyu gave him another kiss then gently fixed the man's hair. It didn't really need it but he found there was a very simple pleasure in the act that he enjoyed immensely. "May I make a confession to you?"

Zishu grins into the kiss before claiming a kiss for himself.

Having someone fuss over his hair just for the joy of it softens the grin. He rubs gentle hands over his husband's back.

"You can tell me anything. I will tell no one."

"Mother will hate that you'll become an Immortal for me. For the first time in my life I'm looking forward to doing something that displeases her and her having no power to do anything about it."

It felt good. Right even. Runyu couldn't even say why that was but he wasn't really thinking too hard on it either.

The laugh is bright, delighted. Zishu grins. "I refuse to hide it from her. Let her fume. I want to become strong enough she can't hurt you because of me." Maybe he's over confident.

But he's also determined and dedicated. "You have my heart, Runyu. You have me."

He was sure that his mother would try something. That his father would just sit back and let her. But he was determined to protect Zishu at all costs. Even if it meant going against the heavens to do it.

He was water and he would show him the power of that element.

"You have my heart, Zishu. You have all of me."

Of course she will. She won't succeed.

Zishu smiles softly and kisses his sweet husband. "We will find our place together." If there's that much opposition, they will find somewhere else to live in peace together.

"You are so devoted to me. I swear it that I will always be so devoted to you in return."

He would always be there for him. Always love him. Always fight for him. Though he was more a scholar he truly wasn't a weak Immortal. He was the first born son of the Emperor of the Heavens, after all. He'd kept that power bottled up but no longer.

Cupping Zishu's face again, he smiled at him. "If anything ever goes wrong, I will spirit us away somewhere safe."

"I cannot explain why. Only that I am." He won't betray Runyu. He'd rather die, or suffer endlessly than betray him.

Less than a full day. Yet it feels right. The only option possible.

He can't help but smile back. "Good."

"This must be what it feels like to find your soulmate. Everything just falls so perfectly into place and feels so right."

Zishu just talking to him made everything so magical. He loved it. Runyu kissed his forehead and let out a contented sigh. "I'm glad today is all for us."

"Chance or Fate," he agrees, considering their various statuses. "I am very glad you are my soulmate." And that they've found each other, however that had happened.

He hums under the sweet kiss before a playful little smirk curls his lips. "Me too. We should eat some more so we have the strength to see it through properly." He'd made other promises to his dragon, after all!

"Oh. I'd forgotten all about the food." He looked mildly surprised that it still existed before picking up the chopsticks again to offer another bite to Zishu. Of course he'd have more too but he was finding such pleasure in feeding his husband. It was something so simple yet so satisfying.

He laughs in delight, arms wrapping warmly around his husband in another tight hug before he accepts the next bit of food. But then it's his turn to feed his dragon and he takes up his chopsticks again to offer a bite to Runyu. He has no problem with feeding each other until they're both content.

Blinking in surprise, he laughed before accepting the bite. They would sometimes have to partake in feasts so they wouldn't always be able to eat like this. But he truly hoped they could when they were alone. He'd never had so much fun in his life. It made the meal pass swiftly until he was stacking their dishes so he could put them outside the door for the servants to take.

"I like your favorite. I look forward to that one in the future."

Feasts are expected, it's true. But not every day. Zishu keeps a simpler household and everyone does their share of each task. So once they've had their fill of the food, he helps in clearing the dishes and setting them outside to be taken away.

"You will have it," for obvious reasons.

He reaches for his husbands hands, tugging him close again to nudge their noses together. "I made you a promise earlier," his eyes are too playfully bright to be at all innocent. "Shall we begin?"

Tugged into those strong arms, he laughed. He was really loving how easily Zishu could do that. It was quite exciting in a way. Especially when he followed it up with such pretty words like that.

"I remember."

Kissing him, he smiled warmly at him. "Let's begin."

Runyu lets him. Therefore, Zishu will happily continue! And he likes holding his husband close.

He grins at those sweet words then claims a deeper kiss, lingering for a long moment until the need for air breaks it. Only then does he pull back to lead Runyu back to their bed.

"Do you want to undress me, Ru'er?"

"Yes. Very much so."

He wanted to see that body again and know that it was all his. His eyes were already hungry from the thought, reaching out to pull that belt free. The beauty of only having minimal layers on was how quick it was to get rid of them. And Runyu was very eager right now.

And very pleased when the clothing was gone based on how he ran his hands over the bare skin before pushing him to the bed so he could climb onto his lap.

That eagerness steals his breath away and sends shivers of delight through him. He chuckles softly as he's swiftly stripped then pushed onto the bed, offering no resistance.

Zishu welcomes his dragon back onto his lap and slips warm hands under the simple layers Runyu has on before tugging the tie to let the fabric part. He bends to press a kiss over his husband's heart.

Those kisses will only continue over Runyu's chest and shoulders, up that elegant neck, with his hands exploring.

A pleased tremble ran through him as he felt those hands and lips explore him. The more hours they spent together the more comfortable he became with being seen so exposed. He felt beautiful, loved, and wanted. That it was all real. It was enough to make him feel so confident as he let his hands trace over the lines of muscle Zishu had.

"You're a handsome man," he observed quietly, not wanting to break the spell they'd started by making love again.

The scars on Runyu's body don't bother Zishu. They do nothing to detract from his beauty. So of course he does all he can to prove that, pressing just as much affection to them as he does the unmarked skin.

He hums as he feels his husband's hands answer in exploring him, bringing a renewed pulse of desire that he does nothing to resist. A smile is pressed to the line of lithe muscle at the quiet comment. "All yours," he breathes over bare skin.

"All of you?" Feeling playful, he smiled some and ran his fingers over Zishu's body until he got up to those lips pressing so many wonderful kisses over him. They could play a little game and still fulfill that promise, after all.

"Even...these?" Lightly he ran his fingers over those lovely lips.

He laughs softly before licking those fingertips. He loves that playfulness!

"Yes, even those," he answers cheerfully. "What do you want them to do, husband?" Naughtily, he leans in just enough to draw two fingers in, sucking gently on them. Teeth nibbling just a little.

"Mmm...it might be what you want to do with them."

But his eyes were glued to those lips, clearly very interested in what they could be doing to him. Licking his own lips, Runyu felt the blood pooling between his legs just watching and feeling what that tongue was doing to his fingers. He had to force his eyes to drag back up to Zishu's.

"Would you like to show me what you'd like to do with them, Zi'er?"

He hums, eyes glued to Runyu's face as he slowly pulls his lips from those fingers. Then presses a tender kiss to the tips.

"I would," he purrs, then lifts his husband just enough to move them closer to the middle of the bed before laying him out. Before returning to his exploration though, he kisses his dragon warmly, lingering just enough to nibble playfully on those lips.

"Are you warm enough?" Just a hint of a tease, though he's also curious if he should stoke the fire higher again before he really begins.
