The Talk Pt. 1

"A-Yuan?" Jin Ling said hesitantly.

"Yes, my precious A-Ling?"

They were both cuddling in Sizhui's quarters, surrounded by the moonlight which seeped in through the open window. Jin Ling seemed hesitant and unsure, and it reminded Sizhui of the time when they had cuddled for the first time. Since he wanted to make the other comfortable, he pulled the other closer, sliding his arm beneath the other's head so that they were lying face to face.

Jin Ling's face was redder than ever, even redder than when he had confessed. He was also refusing to meet Sizhui's eye, and that only perturbed the other further. Jin Ling always tried to look calm and unaffected, but Sizhui had always been able to look through that façade.

"I wanted to ask you something." Jin Ling went on.

Sizhui nodded, trying to encourage him on. "About?"

"Did you ever...?" He paused, then took a deep breath. "Have you maybe..."

"A-Ling," Sizhui said, tucking a strand of hair behind the other's ear. "I hope you know that no matter what happens, I'll always love you."

Jin Ling blushed impossibly redder. "Hey! Stop saying things like that! It's not like I need your reassurance."

He was acting tough again, Sizhui could tell. He didn't say anything, just waited for the other to continue.

"I..."

After a few helpless seconds, Jin Ling blurted out a few random words, and Sizhui took a minute to comprehend what he had said.

"Have you ever made love?"

Sizhui blinked a few times, and then a distinctive red color rose at the drop of a hat to his face. His wide eyes stared at Jin Ling, but the other just wouldn't look at him. He silently took a few deep breaths, telling himself that he couldn't make this situation uncomfortable, since that would make Jin Ling embarrassed.

"I..." Sizhui cleared his throat. "No. No, I haven't, A-Ling."

He tried to be as calm as he could, while his heart was beating at a very fast pace.

Does he want to? Sizhui thought. I didn't know he wanted that. How do I ask him if he wishes for that? Because honestly, I don't think I have a problem with that. We've been together for such long now... I even had that dream....

[A/N: Sizhui's been having wet dreams for Jin Ling lol]

Jin Ling was silent for a long while after that. Sizhui felt he would have to bring up his question.

"Do you... want to?" He said slowly.

"I-No!" Jin Ling said loudly, face heating up even more. He began pulling away, but Sizhui wrapped his arms tighter around him.

"A-Ling, please." He said. "This is important. Don't get embarrassed and lie about it. I should know what you want. Please. Tell me."

Jin Ling didn't say anything, he just shut his eyes tight, and nodded.

Sizhui reddened further.

"It's alright..." He whispered after sometime. "I... want it too. But I won't force you."

"Y-You don't have to force me." Jin Ling said.
