You're so screwed.

[He approaches Cade from the side and

Threads their fingers together.]

I'm here, I'm here. Sorry, this is so fucking funny. How did you even manage to get into this room without walking overboard?

Because there are railings!!

[ Oh. Oh that hand holding is everything. There's a sudden impulse that he doesn't want to lose Yingxing again.

So he just acts on it.

It's a rather smooth motion, at least. Between Brocade sitting down and dragging the other man onto his lap.]

[??????????????????????????? it's obvious that Yingxing isn't used to being the one in people's laps - he's a little clumsy, grabbing at Cade's shoulders a little too hard. He barely clears Cade's ears, even like this, and he's not going to say it out loud, but it makes him feel some kind of way.]

Maybe we should get you a leash.

[ The hand that isn't curled up with Yingxing's hand settles on the small of his back.

Okay normally, he'd yell but he's struck with a mental image okay. ]

... There's an idea.

[Hooking a finger under his bad-at-directions collar with his free hand and

tugging his face close]

hi hello

If I give you directions to do something.

[YYYYYEAHHH HES WINNING]

Are you also going to be bad at that?

[ He doesn't know but also SHIT YEAH. ]

Only one way to find out.

[He makes a show of thinking about it, but honestly Cade has been a nearly permanent fixture as of late in his Dreams that he just sort of blurts what he wants out.]

Take your shirt off.

[ He's not even going to admit what this does to him. But the sudden flush across his face and the slits of his pupils going wide-

He hardly has to. ]

Sure.

[ Looks like it's only cardinal directions, rather than imperatives, since he lets go of Yingxing to pull his shirt up over his head. The marks of their last night together are still there. Places where his fingerprints dug in marks. Places where scratches are healing, or hickeys are fading. ]

[That - surprises him, visible on his face, and once he pulls his shirt off Yingxing is already leaning in to kiss him again, grinning into it.

There's a look of mischief on his face.]

Good boy.

[ The kissing is great and what if they just do this all the time.

Yeah, the flush deepens at the Good boy. And his tail behind them curls on itself in a please plume.

HIS EXPRESSION THOUGH. ]

Don't push it.

[ A little nip of Lith's lip- ]

You like it when I push it.

[He nips back, just on this side of harder. He cants his head to the side so he can mouth at Cade's jaw, and he'll probably be able to see the bandage slapped over the crook of his neck, revealed by his neckline slipping. Vel was a biter.]

[ He DOES make a little sound at that nip. ]

You aint-

[ Hang on, putting a thumb under Yingxing's chin and tilting his head up further. ]

Dude. What did you DO?

[He doesn't whine at his head being tilted up like that, but it's a close thing.]

What do you mean, what I did? [His hands come up to press against Cade's abs, tracing the outline of muscle there, almost - nervously.] I... Velveteen and I -

[ There's a moment of processing where a swirl of mixed feelings just sort of settles. Doesn't matter, he's in CADE'S lap right now. He lets go and strokes down beside the bandage. ]

Well, guess I don't gotta throttle nobody then...

How sharp IS he that you look like a chew toy? You okay?

[ So THAT'S why Vee smelled like Lithium's cologne... ]

He has fangs.

[Unfortunately Lithium doesn't own cologne. What he's smelling is probably Graey's attempt to impart some sort of sophistication into Lithium's life, and Lithium only acquiring said sophistication by sheer proximity.

Yingxing stills. He places his hands on Cade's shoulders, and leans in close, to press the two of them together, hip to chest, burying his face in the crook of Cade's neck. Clingy.]

He's not you, okay? I know you and him, there's something there, but he's not me, either, so I still have you. You still have me.

[ It's all he wants. Solid, and there and against him and this is fine, all of it's fine.

Just, you know... wants to hear it.

As his palm runs up and down Yingxing's back, he buries his face in the other man's hair. ]

It's something else, yeah. This is- this is different. For you too, right?

[There's a pause.]

...I know your ring size.

You do??

[ WHY WOULD HE-

NO THERE'S ONLY ONE REASON WHY

HOLY SHIT

HOOOLLLYYY SHIT

Wait-]

How did you GET that?

You know that one drawer in my kitchen that didn't have a knob because it broke off? And you eventually could pull it open by hooking your finger in the hole?

[Mumbled into his shoulder. That was- the entire thing was premeditated, but only in a way that Yingxing knew how.]

[ what omg ]

[ That. WAS POSSIBLE the most Lithium way of getting it ever. AND. Shit that was a YEAR AGO??

His arms curl around Yingxing.]

...

So, you know how I'd cleared out that whole studio area in my place. I was thinkin' it might be a good workshop.

If you ever wanted to--

Yes.

[CUTTING HIM OFF??? a hand slides up over Cade's nape, fingers buried into his hair, tugging a little.]

Shit. I want off this boat.

[ HE SAID YES CADE COULD DIE OF HAPPINESS RIGHT NOW BUT THEN IT WOULD END AND THAT'S NOT ALLOWED

Oh, his eyes close and head tilts back at that pull.]

Right? Shit. SHIT, it's been too long probably not in swimming distance or I'd give it a shot...
