Just A Ghost

I can finally put all 8 animations I made together 💐

You hear a loud thump on your roof. You rush up the stairs to find a beautiful (and injured) god having landed on your penthouse rooftop deck. How do you open? 🤨🤔

🌸 Xie Lian can become anxious around lavish celebrations, it's like the applause still carries the echo of his people praising him  before divulging into demands for miracles he couldn't provide.

He will sometimes slip away at gatherings. Hua cheng normally finds him sitting alone. Xie lian isn't unhappy just overwhelmed.

🌸 When Xie Lian becomes very happy it sometime will trigger a fear in him. Joy has become so unfamiliar that his body treats it as dangerous.

He's always waiting for happiness to reveal it's price.

Hua Cheng will sit with Xie lian placing something warm around him, rubbing his back and will hum softly until Xie Lian is mentally ready to come back.

🌸 Xie Lian once asked if Hua Cheng would have still loved him if he had remained the White Clothed Calamity.

Hua Cheng doesn't says yes he tells him

"I would have loved you. I would also have stood against anything that would hurt you  even if that thing was you."

🌸 Hua Cheng is terrified of crowds surrounding Xie Lian. He masks it but the sight brings him back to that altar, the mob and hundreds of hands reaching towards one body.

🌸 Xie Lian hates being restrained yet he asks Hua Cheng to hold him tightly during nightmares. Chosen restraint feels different from helplessness. Hua Cheng will always ask

"Like this?"

Xie Lian will nod against his chest until the trembling stops.
