set my heart ablaze! — boothill.
a/n: possibly ooc as this is written before his release, reader calls him “lili”.
warnings: fluff like lots of it, sweetheart boothill.
If Boothill had to describe himself, he’d say he was charming, and very articulated. To the point of nothing getting in his way of his mission to describe himself as, well, this charming cowboy.
The facade he created, everything he ever stood for – falled with you. An early morning of you sitting in his lap, and him pressing soft kisses to your neck was all he needed to feel truly at peace.
“What’s the occasion, Lili?” You question, turning to face him. He shakes his head, though he would never admit outloud, or perhaps to just your face, this is all he ever wanted. A soft life, spent spoiling you.
“Can you turn back around?” He pleads, the tone a little needy. You nod, turning your back to him. He buries his face into your neck, softly speaking again, “Tell me about your day ahead.”
You ramble, and ramble, until you realize he’s not responding, “Sorry, is this boring?” You ask, turning to face him, as you tilt your head to the side. He shakes his head, a smile and chuckle escaping his lips.
“Your day sounds great, just come back home early as you can, okay?” You’re confused at the sudden statement, and decide to question it. “Hm? How come you say that, Lili?”
He’s still smiling as he speaks, “I’ll miss doing this too much.” And then a kiss, this time to your lips, tender as his speech with you, and as passionate as his love.

to love is to learn
synopsis: aventurine is still unexposed to the many concepts of this world. but that doesn't mean he won't try to get to know them if it's for you.
pairing: aventurine x reader | wordcount: 1.0k | content & warnings: hurt/comfort, insecure aventurine, established relationship, my ass wrote this in an hour and its super late rn i just wanna upload this and my lazy ass did NOT proofread this + im on mobile so hell, kinda HELLA rushed ; ficlet
a/n: just the other day me and azul were talking about what body parts of aven would be sensitive and we got to his collarbone and azul said that he thinks that it'd be super evident so i pointed out that it might be cause he was used to starvation and barely ate even when he got to the ipc/had the chance to do so. SO I JUST HAD TO WRITE SMTH.

aventurine shudders under your touch. your nimble fingers trace across his collarbone, featherlight movements, touch so delicate, it makes him tremble.
the pads of your digits lightly dance across his clavicle, one finger turns into two. your index swiftly slides over the pale skin that separates the bone that lies underneath. while your thumb starts inching closer the neckline of his satin pajama, diving beneath. at that he can't help but flinch.
“oh god.” he laughs out. “someone's being touchy today.” his voice is filled with joy. hearing, seeing, knowing that aventurine has fun around you, makes you crave for more. his laugh is an intoxicating drug. something that you'll always long for, absorbing it until every part of your body is stained with the tantalising essence and puts you to your demise.
you don't stop your actions, instead continuing to glide your fingers along his delicate body. “sorry, for i couldn't help it!” a giggle escapes your mouth.
“i just thought about how pretty it is.” you let out a small hum.
“my collarbone? pretty, how come?” he's confused, what is the beauty you see within his body?
his body is fragile. it's a hollow shell he carries around. ugly and not worthy of your attention even less your admiration, abused and marked in burns. when the digits that he carries around like a sacred body part of his, roughly engraved on his neck, come in contact with any kind of substance, liquid or his own fingers. he's reminded of the mishap his body was or rather is in. how it was abused and dragged through the mud.
putting his calloused fingers around the tattoo, stings. the touch lingers like a nostalgic scent which still remains on an old piece of clothing, one that has never been washed so the smell never fades away. it burns up at the slightest touch. hurting just as much as when it was freshly inflicted onto his young body.
kakavasha doesn't even know what he looks like. the only person he sees in the mirror is aventurine. sure he walked past puddles of dirty rain back in his childhood, reflecting his younger self, but the images are vague and blurry. he doesn't know what kakavasha looks like and he probably never will.
and neither do you. the only thing you have in front of you right now is aventurine. a shattered soul that doesn't know where it belongs. his being consists of a thousand fragments, they're scattered thoughts that ähneln like broken mirror shards.
they reflect the tales of his heart and reveal its greatest desire. mirroring those untold stories like the surface of the water. thoughts and wishes that are full of pureness, almost childlike.
the broken pieces that make up the man who's named aventurine long for a haven which he can call a safe space - a home. but on the other hand he thinks that he's not permitted to find such a place, that he's not allowed to stay, undeserving of it.
“no particular reason. i just like the way it stands out, it's easy to find and trace.” the words that roll off your tongue sting. they probably hurt as much as a paper cut you've received as a little kid, but it's not like kakavasha knows or is able to relate - he didn't get to grow up like the other children. but he can't blame you, you're oblivious to his past.
his body has gone through physical and emotional abuse. beat ups, labor or starvation. the reason why his collarbone is so evident, the face you adore is so slim, and his rips slightly poke through his body, is all because kakavashas hunger has never been satisfied and the dryness in his throat has never been quenched.
even after he put on the mask of the man who calls himself aventurine - a wealthy man, who’s a member of the ten stone hearts that makes more money than he spends, he's still reluctant when it comes to eating. of course he could buy all the delicacies that kakavasha never got to try - never even knew, but he hesitates.
the concept of chewing and swallowing the bits is still something aventurine can't befriend himself with. it's unfamiliar - he's not used to it, the feeling of a full stomach, what it's like to be satisfied after a meal. it's something foreign to him, a feeling he's not sure he'll ever get accustomed to.
he doesn't think he deserves to eat. to know what it feels like to be full, the rumbling that comes from his stomach is the one he grew up with is what brought him here. he fears that if he gets too comfortable with something or someone he'll forget who he is.
a lost soul that mourns after the past, but saved itself from the dark abyss, freeing itself. not allowing himself to get too close, always keeping everyone that comes near him at an arm's length. worrying he might grow too attached.
so why is he still here? here with you, chattering happily and conversing freely, he doesn't deserve it - he doesn't deserve you.
but is it wrong to be selfish for once? he knows the answer already: it is. but he can't help it, not when you coax him into this position, one which he can't leave, no matter how hard he tries.
“i love you.” you trace the letters along his neck, over the tattoo that is engraved on his skin.
you don't need a verbal answer to know that he feels the same way. perhaps, he himself hasn't realized it yet but he's conveyed his love for you many times already. just like now as he continues to lie in bed with you.
the both of you are oblivious, but that doesn't mean that either of you will stop in your tracks, turn back and leave. (even though he sometimes wishes to do so)
both satisfaction and love are two unfamiliar concepts for aventurine. but he'll try to get to know them. for the sake of you.

marks crossed (and hopefully, our hearts are too.)
a/n: yes, this is inspired by that new official art. i had to write something because it’s been on the only thing on my mind. 🫶🫶
warnings: usage of ‘baby, angel’ as pet names, let me know if i missed anything else!
Tumblr media
aventurine wasn’t much of a morning person, and seeing the sunlight to him just meant he lived another day successfully. which he most definitely wasn’t gonna take for granted, especially when he notices you. with marks on your face, your hands – an indicator you slept well.
he softly traced your hands, the gesture making your eyes flutter open, waking out of your sleep. you rub your eyes, trying to process everything around you.
“good morning, sunshine.” he softly chuckles, kissing your forehead and then continues tracing your hands. “did you sleep well?” you nod, still a little sleepy. you yawn, covering your mouth. and he smiles as he looks at you, a look of admiration.
“i can tell, you know?” he teases, and moves up to your cheeks, tracing the marks your sleepiness left behind. you don’t register what he’s saying at first, given you’re so tired, then it hits. he’s teasing you!
you suddenly decide to sit up, looking at his arm and noticing he has the marks too! you trace his, teasingly “wow, my darling must’ve slept so well, if he has so many marks, no?” his face immediately flusters up, but only for a second before he up’s his own teasing.
he holds your hand, kissing where he was previously tracing, “oh, but my sweet baby, you slept so good, maybe we should just stay in today?” he teases even more in response. the sudden kiss, even though it wasn’t on the lips, leaves you flustered and shocked. you cannot beat aventurine at his own game.
you pretend to be unbothered by it, putting your hand up to his, comparing the two. “hmm, maybe, maybe we should. because yours are starting to fade, which means i can’t return the favor!”
“that’s fine by me, anytime spent with my darling is perfect.” he says, pulling you into his chest, kissing your forehead again. “i love you so much, sleep well angel.”

at last. — aventurine
a/n: this is dedicated to my lovely friend, @aventurne ♥️ happy belated birthday, i hope this new age and every one going forward treats you so amazingly, whereas you’ll find nothing but positive days ahead 🥹����❤️ happy belated again!
warning: spoilers for 2.1 tb mission, this is inspired by at last by etta james, one line from the song is used but it’s not a song fic, fluff x10000, aventurines just so in love
aventurine was always cautious, he would take his time to plan out everything he did, no matter how reckless it seemed.
but if you were to ask the blonde haired man, he’d say he wasn’t cautious, he was careful. careful crafting his art to a point of perfection.
except, these all seemed to fall down; the walls— the facade he created to protect himself from the outside world and himself, when with you.
he adored you, so much. it almost physically hurt, he couldn’t help it though, he was so in love. he was so in love with you, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
it’s the way you speak, the way you effortlessly articulate your thoughts. the way you have the most adorable expressions, when your eyebrows furrow, the way you raise them when confused.
or maybe it was the way you supported him, telling him if he believed he could do it, he could. it reminded him of his past.
“kakavasha!” you call out, waving your hand in his face. he’s a bit confused, he could’ve swore he was just somewhere else.
“good morning, sleepyhead. it’s already past 9:30!” you laugh, but so does he; you’re just teasing him in good fun.
“sorry, i was.. caught up in my thoughts?” he says, shrugging. you nod, refusing to press further, you already knew of his past— and you figured that’s what he was so caught up in his thoughts of.
he sits up, giving you a quick kiss on your forehead. you tilt your head, a bit confused. did you do something?
“sorry, just needed to give you a quick thank you for being— everything i ever dreamed of, everything i hoped for.” he says, giving you a kiss on your lips this time. one that’s sweet, gentle, but still filled with so much love, appreciation, joy bundled up into one.

often — aventurine
warnings: spoilers for 2.1 trailblaze mission, written with before 2.1 in mind, bit angst but still fluff, usage of pet names ‘baby’, aventurine calls you his wonderful partner.
inspired by @/toorurs’s amazing fanfic, read it here! i had to write one myself!<3
aventurine never had easy. being the sole survivor of his race was something he shared alone, no one there and constant nightmares.
“rine, i’m back! did’cha miss me?~” you greet your boyfriend, sing-song voice. and he smiles, embracing you.
“i did, as always.” he replies, a small smile plastered across his face. he wanted to have an important conversation with you, one about himself.
“hey, baby, could you sit down for a second? i want to talk to you about something.” you nod to your boyfriends request, sitting on the nearby couch. he sits down alongside you, holding your hands.
“kakavasha.” you tilt your head, what was your boyfriend trying to get at? until he speaks again, “that’s my,” he pauses, only briefly before speaking again, “my birth name.”
“please, call me by it often.” he pleads with you. you nod, he didn’t have to explain further and you weren’t gonna force him.
“kakavasha.” you say, and he smiles, a big one. so you say it again, and again, until your throat won’t allow you anymore.
you cup his face, planting kisses all over it as you still manage to mutter his name. “kakavasha, my darling.”
his face is red, but still keeps that same bright smile, he loves you, he really does, and can’t wait to hear his name come from his wonderful partner more often.

I think about them, all the time, at all hours of the day.
Every time I'm sheltered from rain, every time I get to hold my brother in my arms, safe, alive.
I pray, but I'm so enraged and disappointed and helpless and distraught and I love each and every soul so, so much.
I wish I could grieve them all like they deserve.
I wish none of this would have happened.
I know you do too. So cry for them, and don't. stop. fighting.
Protect Palestianan children. Ceasefire now

UNDELIVERED❞ - aventurine
summary: his voicemail is full of messages, all from you, never to be heard
warnings: reader is gn, spoilers for the 2.1 penacony quest, angst, hurt/no comfort
notes: like genuinely i am not able to write for him anymore, i’m so sorry if this sucks or anything i’ve been suffering writers block for the longest time 😭
Tumblr media
i saw the prettiest gemstones just now, but they couldn’t match the hue of your eyes. i know people belittle you for it, but i think they’re really beautiful, like all of you. i know you’re probably busy right now. i’ll wait for you to come back before telling you about my day, and you can tell me about yours. do you want to play a few rounds before turning in? i love you.
(played)
thanks for the gift; you seriously didn’t have to. i know you only came to penacony for business, and you didn’t have to take me along either. i’ll make it up to you, i swear. how about a date once you finish work? i heard about this casino; there’s this hotshot there that you might enjoy wiping the floor with. what do you say? see you later. i love you.
(played)
i know something's off, and you’re not telling me about it. where did you go just now? you promised we wouldn’t keep secrets from each other, but you’ve been hiding something the whole time we’ve been here. i’m not angry; i just…i just want you to be open with me. is that so bad? call me back as soon as you can. i love you.
(played)
i’m sorry i yelled at you; your plan wasn’t something… i could agree with, i don’t care if ratio agrees to it. we can work this out; you don’t have to do this alone. just come back, and maybe we can find a better solution. love you.
(played)
i know that i apologized, but it’s not in the way you think it is; maybe it wasn’t even directed at our argument. not sorry, like, "oh, i pity your upbringing," but more of, "sorry for thinking that we could and sorry that we ever tried (to work)." that sounds mean. maybe it is. i could never heal you from the wounds inflicted by your past; they were always too deep to fill up. and i know i wasn’t the best person for you to choose as your second half; why did you do it? why did you pick me out of everyone else? why did you think i was deserving enough of your affection?
look, i know you don't want to talk to me right now. i wouldn't want to either. but i really want this to work out in your favor. i know that i’m being selfish by wanting you even when i can’t. is it wrong to be selfish just this once if it means you’ll live?
yell at me and throw things and scream that i’m as bad as a person like those who hurt you, perhaps even more for knowing that you were hurting and i did it anyway. i don't care. but please don't ignore me. i would rather bleed myself dry for you than be forgotten. i know that nothing i say will change the past; what's done is done. but we can change the future. i don’t want to lose you, not in a million years, in another life, or in any other universe.
we can solve this, find a better alternative, and i can leave afterwards if that’s what you really want. if you can pretend that we’re okay just for a little bit—if you can talk to me one more time—i promise i’ll leave you alone. i promise i’ll never call you again or anything. please call me back. i love you so.
(played)
it’s been seventeen system hours, where are you?
(undelivered)
you’re joking, right? a grand performance? is this just another one of your pranks? there’s no way you- *cuts off*
(undelivered)
you did it, didn’t you? was it worth it?
(undelivered)
hey, please. please come back. i’m sorry. i’ll do anything to have you by my side. don’t leave me alone. please. i can’t live with myself knowing that the last words I said to you face-to-face were “i hate you.” i don’t hate you; i could never hate you. i’d hate the whole world before i could ever do that. please pick up. i love you please.
(undelivered)
it’s pathetic for me to keep calling you over and over again, thinking you’d pick up. maybe some part of me does, or i just want to hear the sound of your voicemail. i hate you; maybe i do hate you. i hate you for leaving me behind and making me think that maybe this would all work out.
(undelivered)
do you think it would have been any different? is it cruel of me to want you when you have never wanted anything else but this? you don’t have to come back as a ghost to haunt me when i’m haunted by everything because it reminds me of you. i can see you in front of me, always protecting me, but never once doing so for yourself. i can hear your laugh—your real laugh, not one of falsehood. i used to draw stars around your scars, didn’t i? but i was the cause of them bleeding you out before you...you’re gone now.
(undelivered)
i miss you. i’m sorry for what i said, and it’s too late now anyway. i won’t be able to forget you, like you told me to. they say that the brain can’t tell whether something is real or a dream, so i’d always believe this horrid dream, even if you’re not here anymore. i think of you all the time now that you’re gone. will you think of me up there?
(undelivered)
*static before it cuts off.*
(undelivered)
i hate the phrase ‘till death do us part’ because even after death, i would still love you. i’ll always be here right where you left me, waiting for you to come home even though i know you won’t.
(undelivered)
sweet dreams. i love you, kakavasha.
(undelivered)

pairing: aventurine x reader | fluff with vv light angst (tbh its only kinda implied) | wc: 347
a/n: i had the urge, i felt the need, i wanted to use his real name. i love it. it makes him him.
Tumblr media
“kakavasha!” you chant his name like a prayer, full of hope. you let out a loud sigh of relief upon seeing your boyfriend opening his eyes.  “finally you're awake, i was worried sick!”
your hands rested on his shoulders, pursing your lips as your eyes scan his face for any signs of discomfort.
huh. why did you look so perplexed? it hit him when he felt a cool droplet glide down his warm cheek. was he seriously tearing up right now? and why'd it feel like he was burning up, cold sweat was glistening on his skin and his head felt dizzy.
just what in the world was happening?
“thank god you're awake! i tried to shake you awake for the past five minutes now. because you kept whispering something about a grand death and kept moving uncomfortably.” your right hand reaches out to the lobe of his ear to play  with his turquoise peacock feather-like earring, tangling it around your fingers.
oh, so that's what it's all about.
“are you alright?” your eyes darted over his handsome face, skin almost as pale as porcelain and eyes alluring as ever.
“if something or someone is bothering you, let's talk about it. or resort to violence, i’ll kick their ass, whichever you prefer!” you lightly chuckle. 
“don't try to take the burden all upon yourself, okay?” , shooting him a look that says “i’m always here for you, don’t forget that - don’t forget me.”
upon hearing that he can only smile fondly. after all, he loves you and his family more than anything and anyone - even more than himself.
but perhaps, perhaps this wasn't the right time to tell you. at least not yet. the right time will eventually come - no it will come. he has everything planned out.
“don't worry. i’m fine, everything is and will continue to stay fine. trust me.” he reassures you before suddenly pulling you into a tight embrace, being pulled onto his lap as your head is buried into the crook of his neck.
“let’s stay like this for a bit longer. please.”

troublemaker, i love the trouble! + ( hsr men )
requested! | what happens when you simply cannot stay out of trouble, and you feel like it’s becoming too much for your boyfriend?
warnings: hurt/comfort. never write for argenti/boothill before and written before his release, possibly ooc for both. longer than usual, please enjoy! <3
while he admires you, argenti simply cannot fathom how you always manage to get in trouble. even if you’re not always the start of it. it doesn’t bother him saving you, but it seems to get to you, a lot. no matter how many times he assures you it’s fine, you feel guilty. you apologize, and he understands — it’s fine, he insists. he sets up a cute dinner date for the both of you one day, trying to really help you see that everything is fine between you both.
dr ratio feels a little different towards this. while he understands things come with troubles, he would constantly quote “it’s more trouble than it’s worth”, he tries to not mean it too harshly, he wishes you could stay out. and at some point, you start to feel a little upset with that, feeling as if you’re bothering him. and of course, he picks up on this. he starts with an apology, “i’m sorry, i know you can’t help it; i’ll do my best to be more cautious of my words.
being a member of the ipc, aventurine knows the feeling of trouble following wherever you go. so he’ll try his best to get you out of it, or even try to be there to prevent it, but of course he gets busy with his work — so it’s not always possible. he does make sure to reassure you that you’re not bothering him by getting in trouble, as long as you can make sure, almost like a promise, you stay safe, he’ll do the same.
sunday is simply just concerned, constantly asking how you get into this, or that. and when you explain it, he sighs softly, wanting to just put you in bubble wrap or something, cause in the end, he just doesn’t want to see his precious angel hurt. as of recently though, you feel like you’ve been causing too much trouble around him, and that it’s a bother, and voice this to him. he immediately wraps you into a tight hug, kissing your forehead. he whispers to you, “my sweetest angel, you’re never a bother. i can promise, no, guarantee it, just please stay safe, okay? that’s my main concern.”
for his absolute darling, boothill will create the trouble with you (given it’s safe), he simply cannot help it, it’s the most fun he’s had in a while! at some point though, he stops. and you figure it’s because he’s tired of you as a whole, which is simply not the case. it isn’t until he pulls you aside, asking you if you were upset with him & many things along those lines. you shake your head, and he’s immediately comforted. but when you ask him in turn if he’s upset with you and that’s why he doesn’t wanna create trouble anymore, he repeats you, shaking his head before speaking. “my darling cutie, i just felt like stopping, but if you wanna, and it would make you feel better, we can stir some up right now!”

in other words, i love you! + ( hsr penacony men )
who said the first i love you, and what was the others reaction?
warnings: fluff, sunday part was written in mind that this happens before 2.0 takes place so 2.0 spoilers kinda included (?), not proofread.
aventurine is the first to say its he says it before he leaves out for the day, he says it when he comes home from work, but the first time he said it; there was nothing casual about it. it was in a desperate moment of him unsure what’s to come next, he had to tell you he loved you before it was too late.
suppose to where dr ratio is not the first, but you are. he had just finished with helping you study, and casually you said you loved him and thanked him. he was obviously, very shocked to hear those words come out your mouth. but again, he loved you back, probably alot more than you thought he did, so he presses a quick kiss to your cheek, and whispers into your ear he loves you back.
as much of a coincidence as coincidental it can be, gallagher & you said it at the same time. unintentionally you & him planned it the same day, same time telling each other you had something to say. both nervous, was the other gonna break up with me? but that wasn’t the case. it was later in the day and at last, you both just blurted out “i love you” at the same time. lots of kisses & a long conversation with cuddles after.
sunday says it first, and the reason why is just so incredibly sweet. you had just finished helping him prepare for the charmony festival along with some assistance to robin, and he was so happy, especially so incredibly grateful; he had someone so incredibly amazing to help him out. he pulls you in for a long kiss, covering you both with his wings as he says “i love you.” after all, this moment should only be shared between lovers!

MOMENTS WITH YOU ❞
summary: sometimes embracing the simple moments of life with your lover by your side is all you need in the cosmos
featuring: aventurine, dan heng, jing yuan
notes: this is a gift for the lovely @thexianzhoujade! happy birthday kai and may you have a blessed day ahead <3
taglist(open): @yvnaology, @akutasoda, @ryuryuryuyurboat
Tumblr media
“your luck is horrendous, i’ve never seen someone that bad. you’re breaking boundaries that i never knew existed darling.” AVENTURINE cooed at you, the hypnotising allure of his eyes gazing into yours. maybe it would have frightened you once upon a time, playing against someone you couldn’t be winning against. then again, no one could ever beat him at his own game.
you huffed in annoyance, puffing your cheeks as you looked away to hide your growing humiliation. “maybe you didn’t shuffle them properly cause you know that i’d win.”
it was a bold claim that spilled from your mouth with no chance of ever being proved true. that was your mistake you realised, the moment his eyes widened slightly with amusement. you had dug your own grave, you mused.
“are you insinuating that i don’t even know basic card handling skills? you wound me so, love. and to think that i thought you were different.” he sighed over dramatically, his hand on his chest and a pout replacing his stoic poker face. it was all for show, a trick. you knew he was faking it but then again, he was great at manipulating his facade to his advantage.
“you’ll have to make it up to me, darling. let’s say...we make a bet? everytime i win, you give me a kiss. if you win, i’ll do anything you want.” he offered with a devious grin replacing his frown, tossing a poker chip like a coin expertly on his fingers. you’d taken the bait and now you had yourself cornered against a wall with no where left to hide.
you sighed in defeat, raising both your hands in surrender and showing your poorly drawn hand to him. “then, i’ll make things easier for you since i know i’m not going to win.”
AVENTURINE laughed, a low and sultry chuckle as he got up from his seat opposite you, making his way to you. his hand tilting your chin upwards for him to look at you with satisfaction. “a shame, i expected much more of a fight from you.”
it was a lie, for he knew that you’d fold and throw every game for him to win. maybe it wasn’t half bad to lose, if it meant that you could taste the sweet, addictive feeling of his lips on yours over and over again.

“vidyadhara typically go to scalegorge waterscape for the self-reincarnating process. there, vidyadhara pearlkeepers will assist and protect their newly-reborn kin. pearlkeeper teams may have members that specialize in combat, cloudhymn, and egg-nurturing. then afterwards xianzhou fangyun will occasionally send inspectors-“
you can’t blame anyone else but yourself for landing yourself into this situation, you came to terms with after hearing DAN HENG drone on about the vidyadhara for about half an hour now. all it was were a few words about his vidyadhara side (or more specifically his horns, you resisted the urge to touch them) which launched him into a full on lecture about his kin.
not that it was bad or anything, maybe you’d be incapable of processing words for the next hour or so but his voice was melodious, music blending into the background. all you could do was stare at him intently, breathing in every feature of himself, the bad and the good.
that was until he lurched to a stop all of a sudden, it took you about a minute to notice the resounding silence in his room. you broke out of your trance, eyes meeting his which were blank.
“why did you stop?” you asked curiously, confusion and worry creeping into your tone at the way he didn’t meet your gaze, preferring to stare at the datapad at the far side of the room.
“it’s nothing, i was rambling again and i didn’t think you’d want to hear about that.” his reply is flat in that tone you’re so familiar with, his lips forming a thin line.
you can’t help but feel a pang in your chest, placing a hand on his shoulder reassuringly with a grin. “please, don’t stop. i was listening and i really like to hear the sound of your voice.”
his eyes lingered from the placement of your hand before moving upwards to the smile on your face, a blush blooming on his cheeks as DAN HENG nodded and looked away, clearing his throat in embarrassment. “shall i continue?”
you chuckled at his reaction, cupping your cheeks as you urged for him to go on. his voice would be like a song stuck on loop in your head forever and ever.

“so, how was training?” you asked cheerfully, eyeing JING YUAN and his apprentice who were studiously ignoring your gaze. it was a regular occurrence for yanqing to be upbeat and describe his day in detail with great vigour, hands dancing creating elaborate gestures while your lover would chuckle to himself, his hand reaching to hold yours under the table.
that wasn’t the case today, in fact, the both of them were sitting directly across from you and the general always sat by your side so he could sneak touches of you from the boy’s watchful eyes. you couldn’t help but be confused as the dinner table grew quiet, aside from the clatter of chopsticks clinking against cutlery.
“here, have some more. you’re a growing boy and you need to eat more.” you said quickly, reaching to grab some portions of your food and spooning it into yanqing’s bowl. the boy’s lips quivered slightly, almost like he was itching to get something off his chest but he was cut off by your lover clearing his throat. your eyebrows furrow in suspicion at the sight, though he tried to cover it up, you saw his actions.
that’s when you decided to change your approach and attack yanqing, for you knew his weak points. “everything okay? you know you can always tell me if something’s bothering you. also, i saw this gorgeous sword when i was out and thought of you! we should check it out sometime, i know you’re a collector.”
that was enough to hit the nail on the head and make his resolve crumble, his expression quickly turning to one of guilt as he bowed his head in apology. “i broke one of your vases just now during training! i’m so sorry, i-i’ll replace it!”
it takes you a few seconds to digest his words, that’s what he was so nervous about? you can’t help but stifle a laugh, covering your mouth to keep it in. “that’s what you were worried about? a vase?”
yanqing’s expression morphed to puzzlement when he realised that you weren’t mad. it was cute, the way he thought that you’d be livid. “you’re not angry?”
you shook your head vigorously, laughing so hard that tears spilled from your cheeks. “no, of course not! why would i be?”
“because the general said that this wasn’t one of the first times that something of yours was broken. that time, he accidentally broke your sculpture-“ his voice died out the moment he slipped up, eyes darting to your lover who had grown quiet. your amusement morphed to fury, glaring at the general who had the nerve to offer a sheepish smile.
he forced a smile, shrinking under the intensity of your leer. “now, darling…”
“what happened to ‘a poor skycrane with a broken wing flew in and shattered my sculpture?’. was there even a skycrane?!“ your eyes narrowed at him, yanqing taking this as a sign to sneak away quietly.
“i’ll make up for it,” the general said with a smirk, getting up from his seat to snake his hands around your waist, pulling you close into a kiss.
“it’s gonna take more than one kiss to make up for that sculpture.” you rolled your eyes, trying hard not to show how flustered you were by actions, too bad that he caught on.
JING YUAN pulled you closer to him, exuding a charm that was too mesmerizing for you to break free from, your anger over the sculpture dissipating. “then i’ll kiss you for ever shattered piece. i must warn you that it quite literally broke into a hundred pieces.”
he knew how to push your buttons, that you could confirm. which lead you to wonder, how many more of your things that were mysteriously broken his doing? and was he willing to compensate you for every one? if so, he’d be in debt with kisses for the rest of your lives.
