That answer has his heart just melt all over again for this precious man. He knows his expression shows how much he adores Zichen, and it doesn't bother him. Why should it?

And that stolen kiss has him smile and meet it. Only when it breaks does he reach up to tenderly tuck the loose strands of hair back behind his husband's ear.

He feels all warm when he's with Zichen. Cared for. Precious, even.

And being nestled into as they take those last few steps has his heart flip-flop around and his cheeks to flush in understanding. He tightens his hold around his husband's waist in answer.

Together. Yes.

He can't even muster up a pout - but why should he? His husband worries over him just as he does about Zichen.

"I want to make us some tea to drink before I sit with you. It will be good for both of us."
