Warning: implied homophobia
In the earliest hours of the morning, when the sun is just barely streaming through the cracks in the window through the blinds, Chongyun has Xingqiu all to himself.
"Hey Xingqiu, do you ever wish... we didn't have to hide our relationship?" He whispers in the silence of the morning.
He doesn't even think Xingqiu is awake yet, but he's proven wrong when Xingqiu lets out an audible sigh that's different from his usual steady breathes thus far.
"What do you mean?" He asks back.
"I mean... doesn't it ever get tiring keeping it from your family, or even from Xiangling?" Chongyun questions.
He was wondering if this was only something he cared about, or if maybe Xingqiu ever felt that pang of guilt when he remembered what a big secret he was keeping too.
"...All the time."
Shocked, Chongyun lifts his head from its comfortable place on Xingqiu's chest. He looks him in the eyes, the golden ones that are half open as he's still half asleep.
"I don't like keeping it from people, but mostly because I'd rather not have to be careful when I shower you with all my affection." He teased to take some of the tension away.
"Just the other day, I called you 'my love' when talking about you with Xiangling, and I had to distract her away from that as soon as possible."
Chongyun listened while he talked, resting back against him. Here, with the door locked, he could love him as he pleased. So when he got the rare opportunity, he would be unusually clingy and quiet, wanting Xingqiu to only focus on him.
Xingqiu in return, would be far more affectionate, because as soon as they left the room, it was back to pretending they were just best friends who'd had a sleepover rather than lovers who slept in the same bed.
So for the time being, Xingqiu swept his fingers through the other's hair and talked while he rested his head on his, knowing that in each other's arms they could talk to each other about anything and not break apart.
"Maybe it'll be different in the future. And, if it's not, you know I'll fight any injustice that stands in our way!" Xingqiu declared, smiling to himself.
"Will you really?"
Xingqiu shifted them both so he could hold his face and kiss his forehead, leaving words in their wake.
"For you, anything."
