i forgot what meme this is it was so long ago LMAO
" starve to death... probably. " Yue Qingyuan taps the tip of his pen against the pad of paper he's scribbling a grocery list onto and glances up at Higuruma through his glasses. faint grin in tow, the other is just close enough that he can make use of his free hand by gripping his tie, and forcibly tugging him down for a quick, brief kiss.
the Yue Qingyuan of old would've chastised himself for acting so unruly ( in his own eyes ), but as the time he's spent here continues to stretch on, the more... relaxed he's allowed himself to become, so much so that parts of himself he repressed for years were finally starting to crop up. he no longer bore the duties of an entire sect on his shoulders; appearances and decorum were a thing of the past. sometimes he still struggled to shake some of his old habits, but Higuruma was extraordinarily patient with him about that, something he found to be a blessing.
he savours the way his lover's lips taste against his tongue. the rush of soft flesh against flesh, and the sweet way he smells just after he's put on perfume. they aren't due for their date until much later in the night, but it's so very like him to always be so dressed up. Yue Qingyuan adores it. while he, himself, still found this dimension's modern style of clothing somewhat of a challenge to stuff himself in, he's gradually grown more and more comfortable with how it looks on him. he never would've imagined himself wearing such form-fitting outfits, nor did he anticipate freely showing his scars on bare skin, the byproducts of his qi deviation as a child.
at one time he was immensely embarrassed with how he looked. the cultivator's robes he'd donned nearly his whole life afforded him a great deal of security and self-preservation, but the things he wore now... these... tee shirts, he thinks they're called, are so much more revealing. they cling to his flesh like a mold and carelessly expose the deep scars gouged forever into his arms. at times he finds himself tempted to throw on a cardigan or a sweater, even when it's uncomfortably hot, but Higuruma is almost always there to gently talk him down from it. to reassure him that he was beautiful the way he looked, and to soften his heart with loving words tangled in adoration.
Yue Qingyuan releases him after a brief moment and immediately scribbles something else that's just popped into his head. this list is important because they won't have a chance to shop together again for a while after today, so he wants to ensure he's covered everything ( and to prolong how much time they spend with one another ). " i'm the only reason you'll come home early these days instead of working yourself to exhaustion. if that's what it takes it get you to take care of yourself though... i don't mind. " he chuckles lightly. " the way i phrased it, it sounds like you need me a lot, but if i'm being honest... i need you just as much. so don't forget to take care of yourself even without me, okay? "
he's fully aware of just how dangerous it is out there for Higuruma, and Yue Qingyuan would never dream of turning him away from it, not when it was part of his everyday work, he just hoped he might exercise caution from time to time... for both their sake's, not just Yue Qingyuan's.
