Easy... [ chuckling, not at him, just... amused. ] This is supposed to be fun, alright? Don't get all worked up thinking about that. We can definitely talk about it later though, if you want. If that's what you're into.
[ the moment u realize u have to hold onto your pin the entire time and just kind of laugh about it. ]
... This is really going to be a test, huh. [ he plucks it carefully off of his shirt, shrugging out of it with the sort of sinuous shrug and accompanied with a look that says "hey, are you paying attention?" ]
[ they have plenty of important things to talk about, some actually important, some just nonsense talk about wacky hijinks but for now, all that matters is this reconnection between friends after a short separation. ]
I'm sure you can handle it.
[ for once he allows himself to look, instead of immediately panicking, eyes following along the gentle curve of eiden's movement. suddenly, it's hard to swallow and he takes a shakey breath in reply.
[ there's a lot to talk about, more than what encompasses eight weeks.
he knows when he's being looked at, preens over it, and confidence week makes him shift more than needed in a long, much-needed stretch. he's unfortunately a little scarred up still from the past two weeks, more so than he was before shen qingqiu died!!! because life is a nightmare!!! but he doesn't seem to mind it much right now, too busy having to focus on the pin, on him. then, nodding towards him. ]
Your turn.
[ he's allowed to be just a little bit of a brat, chin tilted upwards. ]
[ the scars make him frown minutely, because it is, a reminder of what he failed to protect. but he slaps his cheeks (face) mentally because eiden is still alive and that's what's important!!!!!!!! (it does, however, make whatevers happening a challenge but who doesn't love being able to tease the teaser?) ]
If I must.....
[ he sighs so wearily but the twinkle in his expression says its all for theatric show. he pauses then because... well. he is wearing a tshirt and sweats. doing the entire unwrapping himself like a present isn't as fun without the robes. hm. oh well! with a momentary boost of confidence and a whole lot of yolo, the shirt comes off. we're going to pretend it's very suave and cool for once. ]
Hey, if I'm going to be stared at, so are you. Fair's only fair. It's been a while.
[ it works if only because eiden is stupidly into him. he could probably trip and fall over his own pants and he would still be :ok_hand: and letting his eyes meander over him, taking their time with every detail. he will call it suave and cool, just for him. biting his lip just a little bit as he eases back further, eiden nudges his jeans down his hips. just enough to tease. ]
What if I just wanted you to do all the hard work?
[ he's teasing right back but there's definitely a hint of that wide eyed first time pretending I'm absolutely chill vibe. it helps, that it's eiden and sqq- shen yuan, is already so comfortable with him. ]
This is the strangest long distance phone a friend ever.
[ he says but, who's complaining?? not him, that's for sure. he find the edge of his bed, the edges of the lush mattress appearing where he sits and he wiggles, just the slightest to straddle the corner of it. only then does he lean over to seductively(?) take off his socks and sandals- and fling them off to the corner.
10/10 very attractive. he's absolutely doing his best, maybe ]
[ said while stifling a laugh with the back of his hand. it's not hard to kick off his shoes, but he'll throw him a bone, why not, holding the pin tightly in his palm, sheltered under his fingers. thankfully...
undressing is effortless for him, thumbs hooked into his waistband before he slides them down his legs. it's not hard for him to see that eiden is both very patient despite having to wait and very
interested?
leaning back easily, he is very proud of himself okay. ]
Strange, but... it kinda does it for me. [ lifting a brow ] Just a little bit.
[ i'm so glad this is happening while the sky is falling up maybe.
his breath catches then because, well. knowing, and seeing are two different things, you know? there's always that moment when you go from oh, to oooh and things click a little. thankfully for this shen yuan, it's far less chaotic, bloody, and the least sexy thing on the planet, and instead full of mutual shenanigans that should? probably? be? a good time? he kicks insecurity in the butt and shuffles his sweats off.
to his surprise, it turns out little yuan is actually pretty into these events. wow! who knew! ]
[ he winks at that. he'd like to be in a book with shen yuan. he thinks it'd be a pretty damn good book. ah shit - he focuses a little harder on the pin in his hand for a moment, has to come back around. sorry. stray thought.
he shifts a little bit, and then - ]
Wow, you are happy to see me... wish I could be there to help more than I can now...
[ it's said with so much affection. if they weren't straddling dead-living lines, it'd be absolutely palpable as he indulges himself in just sliding a hand down to try and calm himself down. easy... he can't focus in these conditions!!! ]
[ imagine them in a cute little romcom. definitely without all the murder nonsense and just a sweet little one shot of finding affection someone who Gets It.
there is a minor smirk that forms when he notices eiden needing a moment though. hehe. he did that. ]
I'm always happy to see you.
[ wow, honest. without a shirt, his blush travels down his neck, pinking the skin far more honestly than his face ever would.
given how he's the one not having to do the focusing, he lets his thoughts wander freely, indulging in a little imagination since eiden can't physically touch. it's not hard to imagine those ever affectionate hands on him. perhaps a touch here, and brush there. eiden whispering far more naughty things than usual to rile him up.
suddenly, the room is far too warm and the breath he lets out is more shaky than he'd ever admit. okay. okay! so he might be really into this. who knew! good thing the pants are off or they would have been incredibly uncomfortable by now. ]
You'll learn. For next time.
[ they haven't even made it through this and he's already confirming a repeat occasion. who is this guy??? definitely not the sqq of day 0. ]
[ that... gets him to blush. just a bit. okay, not just a bit. a lot, climbing down his shoulders, pinking the tips of his ears. it's hard not to stare, to outright admire because there's something different about taking ones time over the hurried and kind of sloppy passing of fingers over clothes, uncertainty built into touch.
now there's no touching at all, and god he wants it more than anything. ]
Yeah? ... Me too. I - [ god he has to focus, he has to focus but it's so hard when he wants to kiss him so badly!!!! bad! ] - I literally can't wait. You better be trying your damndest to get back to us, okay? We're busting our asses out here...
[ there is going to be a next time, okay. they don't have the mindset anymore for the unknown things or the tentativeness of things left unsaid. maybe it's a display, or maybe it's a mirror, fingers skimming downwards slowly from the hollow of his throat to make sure he pays attention to himself—a sigh when he skims over his own nipple, a little bite at his lower lip when he lets his palm presses down over the clear interest between his thighs. he spreads, just a little more.
a sigh leaves him, relief, less so physical, more like a weight is pulled off his shoulders for a brief moment as he watches the flush creeping down shen yuan's neck, how it spreads over his face. it feels like he's watching something he shouldn't be (and he'd give so much to see it again in person, following it with his fingertips.) ]
You're really testing me here... this is so unfair... I want to hold you again. For way longer...
[ a shuddering breath leaves him. he has to be so careful. ]
Next time... [ next time next time next time. ] I wanna peel you out of your robes. I think that'd be something... I could really take my time. Instead of rushing through it like this before we fuck up and disconnect -
[ he's indulging more on gently brushing the very tips of his fingertips along his skin, imagining a different set of hands skimming along the curve of his shoulders and down his bicep. he's never been the one to be showy but something about the weight of eiden's hungry look makes him want to take his time and truly draw out the experience for the both of them ]
I'll have to find a new set.... a proper one with all the layers. Perhaps in a deeper green to lay amongst the presents.
[ wouldn't that be something? to be stripped, layer by layer until his gooey center is exposed for the taking. it's enough to make him shift at the idea, finally reaching down to experimentally touch as they continue.
he lets out a small noise as he does, fingers dipping teasingly into his underwear before stroking once, twice to divert away from the edge. ]
You... you have to watch. Carefully. For those places I like.
[ confidence week v2 sure is a good time for this to be happening because otherwise he would have just expired on the bed already. instead his head is thrown back, braid trailing down one shoulder while he makes sure eiden can follow his slow steady movement ]
[ i could be really funny and say he totally bsods and the call drops, but i won't be mean because they're sweet and this thread is good.
frankly, eiden's theatre of the mind has always been amazing. right now, it paints shen yuan in swaths of verdant silk. he gasps a little when he hears the soft noise leaving shen yuan's throat, and his eyes flutter because if he looks away from him he might fumble. if he's just a dream and disappears, eiden might trip at the finish line here. but he doesn't, instead he feels his heart swell just a little, overwhelmed as he lets his hand slip under his waistband. just for a little bit of help.
as he does, he realizes that maybe... this isn't an impossible task, he can focus on shen yuan through the pin because that's all he would ever focus on, in bed or at a distance like this if that's what it takes. ]
Don't worry, I'm taking notes, Shen Yuan...
[ we stan confidence week, eiden watches the column of his throat dip back, wishes he could sink his teeth against it and hear what sound he'd make. ]
[ IMAGINE IF THEY DID. talk about having the worst skype connection known to the universe.
but he's in the groove now, partially lost in his imagination, partially using the week effect to his full advantage. it's a weird mix with insecurity rising every so often, making the motions shy at times but honestly, he can't even tell his usual emotions from the enhanced ones at this point.
it's funny, cam sex was never really a trope he cared too much about but now that he's here, he kinda gets the appeal. there's something heady about touching but not touched. watching but not participating. it allows him far more freedom to both be bold and shy at the same time to degrees far more than having eiden here in front of him.
....though. if he was truly honest, he'd still take that instead. god. he's so fucked. ]
Just like this, okay......?
[ he also has far too much time to get lost in his thoughts while he's supposed to be having a good time right now so he twists his hand sharply just to wrench a gasp out. there we go. back to the good stuff. ]
