[There is really no logic that can explain this. With how Vidyadhara are, Dan Heng literally inhabits the body that once belonged to Dan Feng. His egg formed from the former High Elder's corpse.

But that's a bit beside the actual point, here. The point being that someone is in Dan Heng's bedroom, which, while it is technically not a bedroom and technically is a public amenity, still is left well enough alone while he's sleeping. The Nameless know to leave a resting Dan Heng well enough alone, given his position as the twitchiest member of the Astral Express Crew. So he's snapping fully awake when he hears the slightest movement, sitting abruptly upright to assess the situation.

The situation being that a far-too-familiar someone is standing in the Archive.

And since, as previously mentioned, there's no logic to it, Dan Heng just throws the whole idea out the window as another of his usual nightmares and dives for Cloud Piercer where it's propped against the console near the foot of his futon.]

Comments

[the way dan heng so easily curls into his touch makes possessiveness flare up dark and sticky in his belly, but he tamps it down; it was the same shade as what drove him to do the things he did. he was aware that was not normal but-]

You fool. [he presses a kiss to his jaw to take away the sting.] It will get worse every time if you don't satisfy it.

[vidyadhara were barren like the rest of those who had Long's blessings, but they retained the vestiges of biological cycles - depending on what body parts they bore, they could have regular cycles of heat, or rut, or both. it was deeply annoying during the first seven centuries that dan feng was alive when he held fast to his asceticism, and then deeply satisfying afterwards, after yingxing. so he knew intimately how bad it could get.]

[lifeban]

[the little kiss does a fine job keeping him from actually getting cranky. well done. he just sighs and tips his head to nuzzle at dan feng's jaw in turn.]

Every time feels like the worst time, anyway. It doesn't matter if it's true.

[even that claim isn't quite true- but it's hard to do much worse than having one's first heat in corallium chains in the Shackling Prison, utterly alone. there's no need to get into that moodkiller.]

[deprecated]

[if this was dan heng's first time then- well. hopefully it would not trigger one of his cycles; it would be devastating. (hopefully this did not also trigger one of dan feng's cycles, because the nails staked through him suppressed those too, for centuries.)]

You are so stubborn. [he can see how it could be endearing but right now it just makes him want to bite dan heng. instead, he gently tips dan heng's face back up - and thumbs his plush lower lip.] Listen to your elders.

[lifeban]

[in before absolutely no one can be in the same train car as them.

he's stubborn, yes, but also sassy. rather than open his mouth to comment on why listening to his elders has never been a terribly appealing prospect based on his life, he simply raises an eyebrow and opens his mouth to lick that thumb.]

[deprecated]

[oh.

dan feng's eyes darken. he watches dan heng's mouth hungrily, before withdrawing his thumb. two fingers then rest against his lips, much like the same way.]

Open.

[lifeban]

[being a nerd who deals with his urges by reading so much smut appears to be helping his case here. score.

that tongue flicks out again, to wet his own lips, just barely brushing against dan feng's fingers, then he parts his lips.]

[deprecated]

[??????? has he really not done this before? Is he just really that much of a brat???

there’s that low, rumbling growl again, as dan feng slowly pushes his fingers in, petting his tongue, just barely until the first sign of gagging.]

Keep it open.

[lifeban]

[the internet is really really great... 🎶

it's awkward. the reality of it, while attractive, is something he hasn't had to deal with, but he keeps his mouth open as steadily as he can, swallowing repeatedly after his gag reflex first triggers.]

[deprecated]

You have no idea how delectable you look right now.

[dan feng’s voice has gone rough around the edges. his other hand drifts down, wrapping lightly around the base of his neck.]

Suck.

[lifeban]

[that hand is a surprise, but one he quickly finds he doesn't mind. not when dan feng sounds like that. not when dan feng's teeth at his throat were only attractive.

he starts sucking.]

[deprecated]

[the inexperience is obvious, but so is the enthusiasm. the hand around his throat curls tight briefly - a warning - before he trails a finger down dan heng's sternum.

and he does two things in quick succession: he splays his hand, warm and firm, over dan heng's breastbone, and he rolls his hips hard, grinding their crotches together. he can already feel one of his cocks filling out past the sheathe, trying hard as he had been to control himself.]

[lifeban]

[dan heng hums a baffled little sound, questioning, past dan feng's fingers when the hand around his throat loosens. warning noted, but what even about? buddy?

not that he has a lot of time to wonder, with the twin distractions of the hand's new resting place and the sudden intense pressure and friction against his tender vent, already struggling as it is to contain his lengths. he's forgetting to keep sucking, a throaty moan rumbling around those fingers instead.]

[deprecated]

[dan heng is so responsive, it's intoxicating.]

What did I say? Look at me. [that hand shifts ever-so-gently to the side, groping, ghosting over a nipple.]

[lifeban]

[his eyes open again, gaze snapping to meet dan feng's. a split second later, he resumes sucking, fluttering his tongue against the underside of those fingers as if in apology.

with their eyes locked like this, dan feng can see the startled little moment dan heng realizes his nipples are sensitive, as if the defined muscle of his chest weren't already appealing enough.]

[deprecated]

[the smirk on his face is one hundred percent imperious high elder.

he then makes the executive decision to try and hoist dan heng up and out of the water, to settle him on the edge of the tub. it's extravagant enough that it reminds him of his own baths in the vidyadhara compound.]

[lifeban]

[??!?

that is a different kind of manhandling! he startles, tail clinging to dan feng's even more as he's moved, scales rubbing scales. he doesn't actually fight it, though, letting his hands drop to dan feng's shoulders to steady himself as the goosebumps of being sentenced to comparatively cold air start to kick in.]

[deprecated]

I have you.

[dan feng's tail curls around dan heng's back, bracing him even as it's twined around its twin: an appendage of many talents.

this is because he puts his hands on dan heng's hipbones, and his mouth on dan heng's collarbone, sucking a constellation of bruises down just shy of that pert nipple.]

[lifeban]

[There's a lot of tail to work with!

he has enough foresight to know his nipple is in Danger, but it's hard to want to do anything but slide his fingers into dan feng's unfairly silky hair.]

You do.

[tone a little embarrassed, a little amused, a lot heated.]

[deprecated]

[eughuhguhgh?? dan feng pulls back a little, too slow to hide the surprise that he would just- say it.

now his own ears turn red. so the correct thing to do is lean up for a kiss that he refuses to call sweet, because dan feng had never learnt the meaning of the word, thanks.]

[lifeban]

[there is definitely a moment where dan heng clocks those flushed ears with the eyes of a predator.

but for now he doesn't hesitate to meet dan feng for that kiss, and though he's enthusiastic, he's not coming at it with maximum puppy energy this time. wrong vibe. instead he politely tries to match his predecessor.]

[deprecated]

[dan feng may have forgotten that little successor he may be, dan heng is still every bit the dragon that he was.]

Mm, better. [he trails the kiss down dan heng's jaw, and it's not long before there's teeth against his skin again. dan feng seems to really like marking, or biting, or both.] Don't heal these.

[lifeban]

[huffs an almost-laugh, even as he once again tips his head to give dan feng even more room to mark him up.]

You could ask.

[deprecated]

No.

[there's a little petulance there. dan feng buries his face in dan heng's neck, angling his head so his horns don't take out an eye, and inhales.]

[lifeban]

[what, bratty! but then dan feng is huffing him, and that realization sends a burst of lust through him, clear in the stutter of his pulse, if not also his scent. he curls his fingers tighter in dan feng's hair.]

[deprecated]

[he can smell it all right. he can literally feel the frisson of heat down his spine, and he groans wetly against dan heng's pulse. this feels-

one of his hands reach down, grinding his palm directly between dan heng's legs.]
