[Dan Heng's a bit dazed when the kiss breaks. Blade's good at doing that, though. The love that his boyfriend gives him so freely can be overwhelming sometimes, but it also fills his heart with warmth and comfort. He's just as reluctant to exit this moment. However, the dragon knows that it's for the best that they stop here.

He clears his throat gently as he brings his hands down to his sides. At least, that's the plan until Blade puts an arm around his middle. Dan Heng looks up at his partner for a moment before returning the gesture gently. He can see that shadow of pain in the other man's eyes.]

Is it? I couldn't tell.

[There's a hint of amusement in his voice.]

It's about time for your painkiller and antibiotic anyway. There's still some ice cream left, so that can be your probiotic in an hour if you want.
