unreachableside: (☾ to find my way back in this life)

[He lets go of his tail, but it returns to wagging a million miles an hour. It's worth being teased if he can make Dan Heng laugh. It's precious and rare, and he'll do anything to protect it.]

I... I want those things, too. And all the things denied us before... I'll make them ours.

[He feels bad wanting them considering what he's done, and what he needs to do. But that doesn't make him want his freedom any less. Sometimes, things happen that can't be explained. Bad things happen and those who live on have to deal with them.

... Still, he'll do his best to atone.

He reaches over and rubs at Dan Heng's knee.]


Will you stay with me? Even if I have to join the Black Order?
unreachableside: (☾ so i'll just walk right in)

[Blade makes a soft noise when he's hugged. After a second, he covers Dan Heng's arms with his own.]

I believe you. I trust you.

[He breathes in deeply, then lets it out. It's as if part of him deflates at the same time. If Dan Heng tugs, he'll almost certainly melt onto him.]

... Thank you for being here. For saving me. For staying until the end.

[He thinks about earlier...]

Also... I'm certain Mara must have ran his mouth. Everything he says is meant to manipulate and destroy, so don't pay it any mind.

[Blade is quiet for a moment, too. He lets Dan Heng bury his face in his hair. Honestly, Blade could use a shower, and some toothpaste, but right now he's content to just be with someone else. He spent so much time as a prisoner in his own head.]

... He saw my memories. He knows you were imprisoned. But the truth is, you've been free for a long time.

The moment your past self stepped off the Luofu, you broke your chains. You fought not only me, but many other people to prove that you wouldn't be chained again.

It's the same now. The only difference is that in this life, you broke my chains, too.

unreachableside: yx; (☆ but we've lost so much)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-01-23 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
You have. Over and over. I challenged you to show me how to live, and that's... what we're doing, isn't it?

[He leans into Dan Heng, even snuggling a little. The kiss to the cheek makes his tail start wagging again.]

I'll be fine. I can take a bath.

[He's not sure he can stand up for a long period after not walking for a week.]

... Brush my hair when you get back? You can tie it or braid it. Whatever you feel like.

[The intimacy might be good for both of them, and if he's being honest, his arms hurt too much to wield a hairbrush.]
unreachableside: (☾ everything i could ever be)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-01-23 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
All right.

[He is starting to feel the pain again, and while his tolerance is pretty good, his regeneration is absolutely shot after all of that. He thanks Dan Heng for the help, and watches a little forlornly as he leaves.

Blade manages to get through the bath, but it exhausts him. When Dan Heng returns, Blade is sitting up in bed with his hair wrapped in a towel. He managed to get dressed and grab the hairbrush, but he has drifted off with the thing in his hand, so it's obvious this was accidental. His fluffy ears ping under the towel but he doesn't wake up.]
unreachableside: (☾ to give me a sign you're okay)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-01-23 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm...

[He is still not waking up, though he's very much leaning into Dan Heng.

But then those words happen, and his ears go right up. The tail follows.]


Nn? You're back. [He squints. He is so out of it.] Painkillers? [He might need some help with how sleepy he is.]
unreachableside: yx; (☆ that i would stand a chance)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-01-23 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[... His tail wags faster. As sleepy as he is, he still smiles a little and leans into the kiss.]

I don't want knots. [He hands Dan Heng the hairbrush, then takes the pill and chases it with the water. He sets the empty cup aside after.] But... I'm more tired than I thought. I wouldn't mind if you crawled in.

[Falling asleep in Dan Heng's lap sounds perfect right now, honestly...]

unreachableside: yx; (☆ your silent whispers silent tears)

[personal profile] unreachableside 2024-01-23 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
You always are.

[Blade doesn't hesitate to lay in his lap. He visibly relaxes as the brushing starts, basically turning into putty in his boyfriend's hands.]

The inconvenience is worth it... for this.

[He is so sleepy.]

Yours is... gorgeous, in my eyes. No matter the length.
unreachableside: (☾ so i can go on)

[Blade is already sleeping soundly by the time Dan Heng finishes the braid. He's exhausted even a week after the confrontation, most of his energy having been spent on healing and recuperating from his ordeal. Sometimes his ears twitch, but overall he looks peaceful and quite content to simply be in his boyfriend's presence.

... If he's drooling a little, don't mention it to him later.]
