"Come everyone! Let's go find Snow. He is hiding somewhere in the village."
"Yes!"
Watching them leave, Ying Yue saw his nephew still before them.
"Uncle Li… Why do you call him Chou-er? Is he… is he your son?"
"If I say yes, will you treat him better?"
Xu Lan frowned and crossed his arms before his chest. He looked down and tapped his toe into the ground. Ying Yue felt his lips curled seeing the same behavior from when he was a child. Looking over at Wang Li, they stared at one another for a moment before Ying Yue cupped his nephew's shoulder.
"Mo Chou is a good man, Ah Lan. He did much for us and he is doing his best to assist you. I know, I know he can annoy and upset you, but I know you care for him. Please, Lan-er, be kind to him."
"Besides," Wang Li grinned and patted the child's head, "He has a lot of experiences and can teach you many things, Lan-er."
"Ugh! Fine. If, If I find Snow first, then I get my wish!"
"Eh, how did you become so stubborn."
"And spoiled."
"I am right here," Xu Lan frowned and sighed dragging his feet out of the school. His father and his mother was waiting for him.
"I am not stubborn and spoiled," he mumbled.
The redhead sighed shaking his head and glanced at the couple smiling at one another, he held his lover's hand and walked away.
"Ah Li, did you plan this?" Ying Yue bit his lips and blinked slowly at his husband.
"It was an opportunity and I took it."
Wang Li kissed him so gently, so sweetly, so deliciously that he clutched the red robe tightly. Leaning closer and opening his mouth, he welcomed the wet tongue, the hot breath, the hands on his body. Ying Yue pulled back and smiled at his husband. Cupping his king's cheek, he took in the loving look in silver eyes.
"Hello."
"Hello."
His husband placed his forehead against his and they held each other under the burst of colors in the sky. A press of lips against his forehead and he was pulled to sit before the guqin. Wang Li sat behind him, hands on top of his as they began plucking the song he made for his lover.
'Our song,' Ying Yue smiled and leaned against his lover with his golden eyes closed.
By the time everyone returned, the sky was dark with littered of stars above them. A kiss to his cheek was felt before the warmth against his back pulled away. He looked at the offered hand of his husband and his mind returned to the day he was brought back to his husband.
He was a nervous wreck thinking all those gossips and rumors were true about his king. Then the hand, this same one, reached for him and he took it. That was the day he lived again.
Letting out a soft laugh, Ying Yue took it and greeted everyone. Snow strutted to him and nuzzled his offered hand. Ying Yue laughed and kissed his pet's forehead.
"Was it hard for you to find Snow?"
"Snow was playing with us," Li Chu frowned and snow's ears pulled back, "He kept running away."
"Rawr…"
"No food for you, Snow."
"Rar?"
Big blue eyes aimed at the purple eyes female and Li Chu crossed her arms. The big cat nuzzled and rubbed, before lying down before her with whimpers. Dropping her arms, she groaned and kneeled before the pet.
"You are doing this on purpose, Snow, but Ah Hien loves you so much," Li Chu mumbled and felt a lick across her face.
"Snow!"
The big cat sat on her and licked again. Laughing, she called out to her brother for assistance. Once everyone was fine, they went to eat in the cafeteria.
The day was peaceful to Ying Yue. This, this was how it should be. Everyone smiling, happy, and content proved to him that this was possible. This was balance.
'I wonder how much longer until they accept that the world is good. It is balanced. Wang Li should be here with me.'
As the moon shined brighter in the sky and everyone returned to their sleeping quarters, Ying Yue smiled when his robe was removed. He did the same for his husband. Once they were bare, they laid in the bed moving their fingers along soft skin.
Ying Yue just smiled softly, living in the attention of his husband. Fingers glided down his side and back up. He hummed quietly as his hand on his lover's chest curled as he listened to the beating heart.
"My love," Wang Li smiled softly at him, "I am alive. I am here."
"I know," he said quietly and the fingers on him slid to his back.
His king scooted closer to hold him, pressing his ear to listen to the beating organ. The thumps, the beats, the scent of his husband calmed his mind. Warm palm pressed to his shoulder blades and the kiss on his crown melted him. He closed his eyes and wished he could hold him forever. Always.
However, he knew his lover would return to the Netherworld to heal and he would not see him for another full year.
"Want to hear a story, Ah Yue?"
"Is it real?"
"Would I lie?"
Ying Yue grinned and let out a soft laugh, before pulling back to kiss his husband. Nodding, he settled with them at the same eyesight. He saw the smile blossomed on his lover's face and he couldn't help himself, but to reach over and touched his king's face.
"Your master had chosen to be with Ye Wu and I am happy for them, but they are loud."
"Loud?"
"Hm, reminds me of you."
"…"
Wang Li smirked and Ying Yue connected the dots, as his face warmed up.
"There was one night I heard them and I thought of you while I was on my throne. I was speaking with a group of mid-level demons, but my thoughts were on you and how much I miss you."
Ying Yue softened his smile and cupped his king's cheek as his other pillowed his head.
"Once we were done, I was too aroused to focus on anything else. Images of you, your smile, your body, the sounds you make, and the way you looked in the throe of passion overwhelmed me. I imagined your hands and mouth on me," Wang Li whispered and the blonde bit his lips feeling his body hot with arousal.
"Pang Xi caught me, Ah Yue, on my throne with my hands in my pants."
"You… you were caught touching… touching yourself?" Ying Yue bit his grin and Wang Li pinched his cheek, earning a laugh.
"His eyes went so wide, I thought it would fall off his head."
"Did… you stop?"
"Of course. No one can see this but you, my dearest wife."
Breath ghosted his face before they kissed. Ying Yue moved the hand on his lover's chest down to wrap around his lover's length. Teeth bit gently on his lips and he sighed happily. Stroking the already hardening length, he continued to kiss his husband. Wang Li's hand palmed down his back to grope his ass, massaging it.
"Mm, Ah Yue," his husband panted thrusting his hips into the blonde's hold, "My Yue-er."
Wet mouth sucked his tongue and tasted his cavern. He pulled his lips away and removed his touch, earning a groan from his lover. Laughing softly, he crawled to straddle his lover earning a pleased hum.
"You wish for me to fill you, my love?"
"Always, my husband."
"Do you wish to fill me as well?"
Ying Yue's entire body flushed and he covered his face with his hands.
"It still feels different…"
"We do not have to, beloved. I enjoy every aspect of you."
Wang Li sat up and pulled his hands away from his heated face. They kissed and he sighed, before a gasping moan escaped his lips. Large hand wrapped around his leaking cock, bringing his breathing to quicken and his hips to rock.
"Mm, Ah, ah! Ah Li," he panted gripping his lover's shoulder.
"Come for me, Ah Yue. Then I will come in you."
Wang Li spoke so deeply, roughly, like he needed water. The strokes picked up and he smashed his lips into his husband's again, so his husband can taste the way he sounded. Fingers groped his nape and he shivered through his orgasm with his eyes rolled back closed. His hips continued to rock and his head was pushed back down to kiss Wang Li.
A wet finger pushed into his awaiting hole and Ying Yue immediately pushed it in him fully. Licking his lips, he stared heavy lidded at his husband, such a beautiful man. Another entered and he bit his lips with his eyes shut for a moment, before joining the thrusts of those digits. Another entered, three totaled inside him stretching his ring of muscles.
His body singed with the touch and the thought of his husband filling him.
"I am ready, Ah Li."
