the night was quiet, gods in their respective castles resting. dimmed lights filled the heavenly capital as xie lian watches by the window. it was peaceful, he sat inside his bed chambers.
he was waiting for a certain someone to finish cleaning up. when he heard careful steps behind him, xie lian looked at the lean figure. mu qing wore a silky night gown, hanging from his body nicely.
beautiful.
it was a nicer view than the heavens outside his window. indulging at the thought, xie lian ushered the man to his bed. well, their bed. mu qing followed by sitting down next to him. xie lian felt the bed shift as mu qing's weight is added.
staring at the god before him. he reached out and brushed his fingers onto mu qing's locks. "let your hair down, mu qing. i will comb it for you." xie lian orders, the other wanted to protest but the prince's piercing gaze makes him falter.
he nods. mu qing did what he was told, removing the ribbon holding his hair up. letting his raven hair flow, some silver strands enveloped his face.
xie lian sucks a breath, mesmerized by the glow of mu qing's face under the soft glow of the oil lamp. grabbing a comb from the side, gently brushing the long locks. feeling smooth against his palm.
"you look gorgeous." xie lian whispers, voice sounding hoarse. mu qing watched the god's adam's apple bob as he swallowed. the martial god of the southwest felt vulnerable, taken aback by his highness' compliment.
"i'm nowhere near that level of beauty, your highness." mu qing looks away from the crown prince, face flushed in a coral pink color. xie lian felt his own face redden at the sight before him. he stops brushing mu qing's hair.
his old servant, friend, and now lover? is sitting before him, fiddling with his long hair, clueless of the beauty he holds. believing that he does not deserve the praise from his own partner.
mu qing never knew how to receive affection from others, growing up to work for everything. he is not used to being loved so freely without doing anything to earn it. his face distorts at the thought.
'does xie lian actually love him? will he leave like how everyone eventually does?'
xie lian's face darkens, as if he could read the god's thoughts, he holds mu qing's wrist. mu qing felt his body pulled toward the prince, looking at the man. amber eyes staring him down, the flush on mu qing's face darkens.
"y-your highness?! is there something wrong?" mu qing asks, voice quivering slightly as the other man tightens his grip on his wrist. he watches xie lian's head bow, clearly upset.
taken aback, "xie lian?" mu qing's voice was soft. oh how xie lian wishes his lover would say his name as frequent as he refers to him with his titles. it feels more intimate, close, safe, and familiar. of course xie lian knows about mu qing's insecurities.
he knows mu qing has himself surrounded by thick walls, hard to break. mu qing pushed a lot of people out, appearing closed off but despite that, he was very sensitive. he held his heart on his sleeves, emotions very evident even if mu qing denies it. that's why he does his best to assure the martial god, endlessly showering him with love.
the silver haired man shifted when the silence engulfs them further as each second passes. he places his hand on xie lian's hand around his wrist, still gripped tightly. mu qing felt xie lian acknowledging the touch, his fingers caressing the fair skin.
mu qing lets out a quiet huff at the gesture. xie lian pulls him closer, the other lets him be moved around. mu qing found himself sitting on the prince's lap.
"your highness, this position is quite...intimate and with my status, our roles should be switched." xie lian grumbles at his words
"bullshit." he mumbles under mu qing's jawline, littering small kisses on the skin. the man in his arms flinches slightly and holds onto xie lian's shoulders.
"stop talking if you're just going to talk down on yourself. you should stop bringing up our past stature before ascension. i am a god, you are a god who happened to be a prince and a servant before. those are irrelevant now, you are the same as me. when will you believe that i see you and want to treat you as my equal?"
"when will you stop suspecting my intentions?"
"why must you always doubt my words?"
mu qing was rendered speechless. it is true that the prince- xie lian and him are together but he held so much respect for the other that he did not think it was a problem. he was proven wrong with xie lian's statements.
he was not aware that his self-deprecation was getting out of hand. when did he actually see himself as more of a servant to anyone? when did he feel free from his past? did he even let himself move on from it? these questions flooded his mind.
mu qing froze when he felt xie lian's hand on his face. only realizing he was crying when the man swiped a finger against the flowing tears.
"i- i'm sorry, your- xie lian. i was not aware of how poorly i treated myself. i am thankful for the constant affection you give me. it will take some time for me to accept it without hesitation." mu qing, hiccuped as xie lian held his face dearly.
he let himself lean into the hand, pecking the palm. xie lian watched fondly and smiled, letting the other kiss the back of his palm to his wrist. he looks at the soft peach lips on his skin. the contrast of his tan skin to the light color makes his mind spiral.
how would those pretty lips look wrapped around him. with the way mu qing looks right now, very delectable. he wanted to devour him up then and there.
800+ years of abstinence did not help with his questionable thoughts. he knew not to act upon them without the consent of mu qing. usually pushing these thoughts away, he thinks this might be a good time to bring it up.
"a-qing?" xie lian spoke softly, using the nickname he knows mu qing would flush to. true to his knowledge, the man before him did flush at how he was called. his black eyes glimmering like the stars out the window.
"yes, xie lian?" mu qing asked, voice a bit higher pitched. he felt shy all of a sudden. the god often called him that intimately when he was serious or longing for something desperately.
xie lian hummed before responding, holding onto mu qing's face once more. caressing his cheek gently.
"i would like to make love with you. if you are comfortable that is. you do not have to accept my offer, i would be okay with your answer either way." xie lian says, red dusting lightly on his face.
mu qing felt his whole body flush. the prince watches his beloved ex-servant redden. the crimson hue painting his ivory skin beautifully. xie lian stayed silent, patiently waiting for his reply.
the martial god's breath was a bit shaky, fiddling with some hair strands. sex with xie lian? the man he longed for since he was assigned to be his personal servant? the only person could easily break all his walls down?
of course he wanted to make love with xie lian. mu qing just felt as if it was not real, a dream come true is what this is. letting out a breath, he opened his mouth to answer until xie lian spoke up.
"i-it's fine if you don't want to. your comfortability is the most important thing here. i swear it's oka-" xie lian stammers, probably got shy due to mu qing taking a long time to respond.
mu qing smiles softly at xie lian's sputtering. "hey, you didn't let me speak." he takes xie lian's calloused hands, wrapping his slim fingers around them. xie lian looks into his eyes, hopeful.
"i would be honored to participate in a dual cultivation with the one and only prince of xian le." mu qing, smirked a bit confidently, opposing his shaking hands.
it was xie lian's turn to wrap his bulky fingers around mu qing, grounding him. "well that's settled then. i will take good care of you, my dear, a-qing." he promised, kissing the slender fingers one by one.
mu qing watches xie lian, breath hitching. he was so affectionate, mu qing felt faint already and they hadn't even started.
i feel like a maiden being bedded for the first time.
when xie lian is done, he stands up to close the window. making sure the blinds covered the entirety of the glass, he walks back to their bed.
mu qing suddenly felt reserved. he is going to be bare naked in front of the prince. even if they had sparring or baths together, he still felt shy due to the different context.
he was going to be naked for the purpose of sex. all vulnerable, open for xie lian to indulge in. mu qing shudders at the thought.
"let me remove your robes for you, your- a-lian." mu qing stands up but xie lian stops him. "i will do it myself. if you would allow me, i want to be the one who undresses you." xie lian states, clearly decided.
mu qing did not protest, how could he? indulging in his lover's desires is one of the best things he does and he enjoys it as well. speechless, he watches xie lian take off his inner robes, keeping his loose pants. back facing him, he looked at the toned muscles on the man's back.
he felt himself gulp when xie lian turned to face him. this view was better, he knew xie lian was fit but the defined build on his whole body was mesmerising. mu qing just wanted to admire him all night long.
xie lian would say the same. when he sees how mu qing looked at him with desire filling those sharp eyes. a concentrated look, plump lips slightly parted and fair skin with a hint of blush.
it took a lot of restraint for him not to pounce on mu qing. he settles beside the man as he lets him move further on the bed. mu qing lays down, waiting for xie lian to remove his robes.
a glint flashes in the god's eyes. he was going to undress mu qing in the same way he unwraps presents. the one underneath him is the greatest present he can receive. mu qing is the one he wanted for so long. being able to make love with him fires him up.
wasting no time, he unties the ribbon holding the robes together. gently slipping the fabric off mu qing. admiring the muscles around the lean body, xie lian hums. it is well known that mu qing is very strong, it is evident in his form.
xie lian tosses the robes on the floor, moving to the underpants covering mu qing's legs. he swipes it off swiftly, wanting to hold onto those long limbs. his attention directed to the bulge under mu qing's underwear.
the man below, felt bare. he closes his legs, shy from the intense gaze xie lian is giving him. mu qing looks away but it seems that xie lian did not like that, holding his head to move it back.
"i want you to look at me at all times tonight. i want to see your face. your reactions, noises you make, and voice. i want to hear and see them all. so please don't hide yourself from me." xie lian says with want, honest to mu qing.
mu qing turns red for the nth time this night. he nods, not trusting his voice at the moment. xie lian was satisfied, pushing his legs apart to remove the last piece of clothing on mu qing.
xie lian sucks a breath. fuck. he's so gorgeous.
even if xie lian enjoys it when mu qing is dressed in fancy robes or even gowns. mu qing's beauty shines more when bare. his ivory skin was glowing due to the oil lamp. a right amount of blush on his face, shoulders, and knees. the light heaving of his chest makes the pink nubs on it stand out.
xie lian wanted to bite them until mu qing was writhing beneath him. gasping because of his touch. oh how delicious those noises would be.
mu qing felt xie lian's hands ghosting his chest. "may i?" the god above him asked, lust-filled eyes scanning him. the martial god nodded, "yes, go ahead, a-lian."
the crowned prince placed his palms over mu qing's chest, rubbing on top of the rosy nubs. the man underneath gasps at the friction, feeling the nipples harden. xie lian toyed with them. pinching, twisting, and rubbing them.
eliciting a surprised mewl from mu qing. he liked that sound, the muscle between his thighs seem to agree as well. wanting more noises from mu qing, he dipped down, licking on the hardened nub. xie lian felt mu qing's fingers grab into his hair.
the gasps and soft moans mu qing let out were growing louder. he felt his chest get abused with pleasure. xie lian's fingers playing with his nipple and mouthing the other. he did not expect him to be sensitive on those parts.
satisfied with his work, xie lian admired the now perked up nubs on mu qing's chest. crimson, contrasting the martial god's fair skin. he was heaving, the fingers in his hair still gripping.
"you look amazing, a-qing. we are just getting started and you already look so ruined. what more when i don't hold back? how will you be able to handle that?" xie lian compliments, a teasing tone evident in his voice.
mu qing snarled at his remark. "you should hurry the fuck then, your highness. i'm sure i can take you well. if you fail to satisfy this one, then i would have to use you to satisfy myself." he spat back, earning a groan from the man hovering him.
"m-mu qing, you really have an interesting way with words." xie lian was at disbelief, he did not think he would feel hornier than before. "i might not be able to hold back..." he whispers, voice cracking.
"hmm? did i struck a nerve? are you going insane with just my words? like you said, we're just getting started. how can you lose composure when we have barely done anything? quite pathetic, a-lian." mu qing smirked, smugness on his face.
xie lian wanted to wipe that expression off his face. he wanted to make mu qing regret teasing him. the prince leaned in to bite the side of his neck, causing the other to jolt at the sudden movement.
"now now a-qing. know your place. you know i can manhandle your feather-weight body with ease. do you want to lose your ability to walk?" xie lian's face darkens, his voice dropped an octave lower. mu qing felt his cock twitch, earning a raised brow from the man.
"oh? you like that? you want me to toss you around the bed? you want me to fuck you so good that you won't feel your legs for weeks?" amusement is laced in xie lian's voice and mu qing hates how much he's affected. he got a whine from the silver haired man, xie lian was going to lose it.
"well? what do you say, my love?" xie lian asks impatiently. he watches mu qing hide his face with his long hair. cursing, mu qing responds with an annoyed tone.
"yes! i want you to fuck me until all i could feel is you. i want to see myself bruised, bitten, scratched, and marked all over! are you happy, asshole." mu qing sneers when xie lian chuckles.
"what?" mu qing wanted to punch xie lian but he would not dare to. "it is quite nice seeing you all frustratedly flustered, a-qing. makes me wonder what more reactions could i get from you." xie lian smiles widely. "you-"
mu qing was silenced by the other's lips. the kiss was sloppy, filled with hunger as well as lust. it didn't take long for xie lian to thrust his tongue into mu qing's mouth. mu qing tried to fight for dominance but he was unsuccessful.
he moans into the kiss when he feels xie lian's tongue exploring his mouth. the god swallows mu qing's pretty noises as he licks the equally pretty mouth. drool trickles down their chin as their lips part. a string of saliva connects their mouths.
breathtaking.
xie lian drinks up the view, mu qing was really flushed. his hair was messy and lips swollen. he wanted to wreck him more, make him even more gorgeous for only himself to see. leaning back down, he leaves a trail of kisses from mu qing's jawline to his collar bone. sucking and biting the sensitive flesh.
hearing mu qing hum and whine was music to his ears. he wanted to hear more. "a-lian, please...enough with the teasing." xie lian never thought he would hear mu qing beg. this tipped off his self-control. he was desparate and so was his lover.
not prolonging any longer, he looks for a vial of oil in the bedside table. fishing it out and opening it with a pop. xie lian hears a small laugh from mu qing.
"you keep oil vials in your drawer? how crude, i never expect someone like you to have one at an easy reach." he remarks. though xie lian deemed unaffected.
"well, you could say it's essential. especially during these kind of situations." xie lian attempted a joke and mu qing couldn't help but wince with an amused smile.
"your jokes are terrible. don't do that ever again. i feel like my boner is gone." mu qing tsked, clearly enjoyed the joke but too headstrong to admit.
"well, let's change that then." mu qing did not even realize xie lian already coated his fingers with lube, grabbing onto his penis. he lets out a loud gasp, body trembling a little. xie lian pumps it quickly, sending the other into a kicking fit.
xie lian easly holds down his thighs with both hands. "easy, now, you might hurt yourself." mu qing knew xie lian's words were true, even if he was the one thrashing around, he would end up hurting himself and not xie lian.
"i'll stretch you out now. are you ready?" xie lian asked, tone softening. mu qing nods, "i'm ready. take me already." he says with eagerness. xie lian will fulfill his wishes. gently, he prods a finger against the other's rim.
mu qing squeaks at the intrusion. he felt the slicked finger opening him up. xie lian twists it and tries to stretch it for another finger. the god's finger was thick and bulky enough to pleasure mu qing. he felt the tight muscle loosen so he added another finger, wiggling it inside.
he shallowly thrusts his fingers in and out of the hole while doing a scissoring motion. that was driving mu qing mad, he was thrashing around. he mewls when xie lian suddenly inserts the third finger, pushing in deeply and curling the fingers.
xie lian was trying to find that certain sweet spot that will make mu qing scream. it was not long before he found it when he curved his fingers, mu qing was spasming and moaning louder than he had before.
"found it." xie lian mutters, thrusting into the spot repeatedly. the heat began pooling in mu qing's core. he had to form words through his mewls. "a-ah...a-lian close!" he cries out. the god stops his actions and pulls his digits out.
mu qing whines at the emptiness. though he did not want to come with xie lian's fingers alone. he did know that the prince has amazing hands but he desired xie lian to be inside him more. the martial god watched xie lian pump his own dick with oil, coating it up slick.
a delicious scene before him indeed. he wanted to taste it but they can save that for another time. xie lian looked up to see mu qing drooling, lust-filled eyes were sharp. oh how he looked so pretty like that.
"i'm gonna put it in, okay?" xie lian says as he aligns himself to mu qing's rim. "go ahead, a-lian. i'm ready." he says, confirming. the brown haired man nods his head and pushes in. holding onto mu qing's plump thighs tightly.
he moans lowly as the heat gradually envelops his length. mu qing moans as well, loudly with a mix of a whine and gasps. xie lian bottoms out but he felt so hot, sweating, he felt like would come then and there. mu qing clenched and unclenched around him, a blissful feeling.
xie lian could not handle it anymore and started moving, causing mu qing to scream loudly. strips of white released from him, trembling at his high. it seems that he was not the only one who felt overwhelmed with pleasure.
he starts thrusting at a fast pace, knowing that his lover would enjoy it. the god drinked up the sight of mu qing shaking, sweating, overstimulated, moaning out his name, and trying to grasp some kind of ground.
mu qing settles with holding onto xie lian's back, clinging onto the skin. leaving painful but nice scratches for remembrance. xie lian picks up his pace, the squelching sound grows louder together with the mix of groans, moans and gasps.
pleasure filled their minds, drowned in the wonderful heat. gripping the other's waist in a bruising manner. the god chased his high, feeling his climax incoming. xie lian finds mu qing's prostate again, hitting the spot over and over.
"xie lian!" mu qing screams in pleasure as he comes once again, tainting both their stomachs. his walls clenching tightly around xie lian. overwhelmed by the heat, the prince groans as he reaches his climax. spilling into mu qing, he sighs.
mu qing felt xie lian's ejaculation fill him up. he blushes at the thought, covering his face. though it did not last long because he felt xie lian lick his neck. the god was tasting his skin, capturing the taste of sweat.
xie lian stayed inside mu qing, peppering kisses on his face. the man beneath him humming with content. mu qing wrapped his arms around xie lian's neck, holding him close. xie lian follows, enveloping the other in a hug.
the lovers laid there in each other's embrace for a while. they did not want to let go. both of them are feeling satisfied with resting for a bit. a comfortable silence surrounds them, their breathing and the occasional wind breaking it. though it was peaceful, they were at bliss and they wouldn't have it any other way.
xie lian looks at mu qing, cupping his face. he leans in for a kiss and mu qing happily accepts. this kiss was gentle, sweet and chaste but it was more meaningful than the others.
"i love you so much, a-qing. i hope you would love yourself the way i do." he whispers softly, leaving a peck on mu qing's forehead. mu qing melts at the gesture.
"i love you too, a-lian. i can't promise that because for me, you loving me is enough. i will return it by loving you greater than the heavens could." mu qing says, affection in his voice.
with love in their eyes, they cuddle once more.
"wanna go for round two?"
"xie lian!"
"i just wanted to fulfill my promise of making you lose your ability to walk."
"shut the fuck up. you can ruin my ass some other time."
