Winter Fun

WHO: Xue Yang and you!
WHEN: December 15th onward
WHAT: Shenanigans! Winter fun!
WHERE: Gazin!
WARNINGS: N/A but will update as needed.


Riding - Around Gazin, OTA

Xue Yang has a stallion of his own now, and he loves fussing over him and taking him out to ride. He likes cantering along the paths outside of Gazin for a good run, across the fields and trotting through town. He chuckles as he coaxes his horse around certain obstacles, feeling the silly beast prance and toss his head in play and high spirits.

Because of how worried his hip has started to make his husband, he's begun to ride more than walk. And it is easier - not to mention far more fun and a much faster mode to get places! He has saddle packs for food when he grabs what they need while he's out, or delivering purchases to those who need the extra hand for the heavier orders.


Bonfire, Brew, Ice Pond Diving

Xue Yang loves the celebrations going on with the start of the snow. He has warmer clothes, thankfully, and the house he and his husband built is sturdy enough for the cold. Plenty of firewood has been stacked against one side of the house within reach as they come in and need more, and the stables they have mostly built are just as warm and sturdy for their horses.

But in the evenings now, he occasionally drags his Daozhangs out with him to enjoy the bonfires and warmth that comes with those of Gazin. Enjoying the food and drink they offer, and listens avidly to stories as they're told around the fire.

Of course he has to take part of the snowball fights! The very idea delights and amazes him and he's quickly dragged into various games and mock wars with snow and balls of snow. Which leads to the challenge of diving into the icy depths of the pond. Who is he to turn a challenge down?

And he must bring others with him! He'll reach out to fling a snowball at someone he knows and playfully taunt them into racing to see who will dive into the pond first.


Hot Springs

Xue Yang has been around long enough to know about the hot springs here and there. It only makes sense to start dragging certain people off to enjoy them! Especially after daring to dive into the icy pond...forgive him? See? Now you're warm again! All fixed!


Feasts, Gift-Giving - mostly for Zichen and Xingchen, but he can be dragged in for a feast if people want him.

He adores the feasts, too, though he's more likely to snag some food and bring it home to his Daozhangs so they can eat together in peace when not out for some fun. However, he learns of the gift giving - through one being foisted on him and it...stuns him. He's told about what it means, and immediately sets to making a few little gifts. Mostly carved animals. These, he gives to a few people he comes across in town.

But for his Daozhangs...they get something more special. He works away at it in the forge in between orders until he's satisfied with the gifts. He tucks them away in little boxes, each with the name of the recipient tucked in before heading home when done for the day.

Xue Yang steps back, studying where everything has been set a little more out of the way while remaining invitingly cozy. There's space, now, cleared for a very specific thing. The fire is roaring, because it really has become rather chilly, and a good hearty stew is bubbling away. There's no music, but that can't be helped. He doesn't particularly want to drag a third party in for this.

All he has to do now is wait. Wait for his Daozhangs to come home so he can drag them (one more carefully than the other) in and cajole them into dancing with him. He hears footsteps approach and trusts Merlan's wards more than enough to know it can only be those two precious men. He lets the door open before he swoops in with a bright grin and reaches for their hands.

"Welcome home! Come, dance with me!" Yes, Xingchen, you are definitely included in that!

"Why do you think the love exists in the first place? You deserve it. You deserve our loyalty, A-Chen." always. Forever. No matter what separates them or what they endure. Zichen won't let go or push him away ever again.

And the same goes for Xue Yang - who once infuriated him and frightened him. Now he feels nothing but peace and love for the man.

"You've proven yourself worthy of a chance." Zichen caresses first Xue Yang's cheek and then Xingchen's.

Xingchen lets out a breath, shaky from the feelings inside of him and trying not to let tears ruin this moment. He would be shedding the tears of happiness from the overwhelming feeling bursting inside of him. But unfortunately, they would be tears of blood, the only option he has and one beyond his control. And he doesn't want to worry these two men that cling to him so tightly. Even still those dark marks appear on his bandage despite his efforts, fighting to hold it back.

He had long since given up feeling like he deserved anyone's loyalty, love, trust. Even giving it to someone seemed like a far away dream. To finally let go of all those negative feelings that had been bottled up inside of him is like a huge weight off his soul.

He stays quiet again, afraid that if he spoke he wouldn't be able to hold back the emotions any longer.

The dark spots worry him too and it isn't until Xue Yang urges Xingchen to let go that he understands. Those are tears. Shifting just enough to wrap his arms fully around Xingchen, holding him, he makes a mental note to help change that bandage later.

"You never have to be alone again." he promises - to both men, "I will track you and find you no matter how long it takes."

Because he is the wolf, isn't he?

He nods, understanding that he won't ever have to feel alone again. That all his fears are being washed away by these two men. He feels complete for the first time in a very long time.

He doesn't want to cry. He doesn't want to make the two men that have him wrapped in their embraces worry and fret over him. He wants them to only know happiness. But he can't stop those dark tears from straining his bandage, feeling just a small amount getting past it.

"I'll leave a trail of feathers behind so you can find me."
