𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗪𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 ━ JING YUAN

☆ | ONE

like clockwork, jing yuan wakes the second the first rays of light touch his eyelids. rolling over in his bedding, his arms reach up to encircle (name's) waist, seeking his warmth as though it's second nature to him; perhaps, in a sense, it is.

he buries his face in his lover's neck to lay gentle kisses on the skin that is exposed to his lips in an affectionate morning greeting, and (name) lets out a sleepy hum in response as he begins to stir.

"did i wake you?"

(name's) eyes flutter open to see jing yuan staring at him fondly as if he were the most exquisite thing in the world. (name) shakes his head and holds out his arms in a silent invitation; one that jing yuan immediately takes, wrapping his arms around him and curling himself around (name's) body.

"i should get up soon."

he murmurs into the crook of (name's) neck, a gentle sigh leaving his lips as the other combs his fingers through his hair soothingly.

(name) quirks an eyebrow at him, a teasing smile settling onto his face before he leans over to press a chaste kiss to his lips.

"can't i tempt you to stay with me for a few more minutes?"

"if you keep kissing me like that, we'll be here for far longer than a few minutes."

still, a soft groan escapes his lips as (name) nips gently on his lower lip, fingers curling in his hair and tugging slightly.

"ahh... do you really not intend on letting me out of our bed today?"

"if i could have my way, i'd never let you leave our bed."

(name) laughs against his lips; mouth trailing down jing yuan's neck. teeth scraping the sensitive skin of his jugular, (name) relishes in the trembling sigh that vibrates jing yuan's chest beneath his palm, before his lips close around the skin and sucks hard.

jing yuan sits up fully at the sweet sting of (name's) mouth, tugging him into his lap in a tangled mess of blankets and nightclothes. there's a warning fire lit in his eyes now, as his fingers reach up to brush the mark (name) left on the side of his neck.

"you're playing a dangerous game here."

the prince chuckles, not intimidated in the least, wrapping his arms around jing yuan and kissing him properly. jing yuan melts under the gentle pressure of his lover's lips, fingers squeezing his hips affectionately and his eyes falling shut as he basks in the morning warmth.

it's so mundane, so simplistic, and yet jing yuan would go through any suffering and give up anything to stay by (name's) side. all he wants is to wake up every morning with (name) beside him. that's what he fights to protect.

he leans in to deepen the kiss, but all of a sudden (name) is pushing him away by the shoulders, nimbly slipping out of his grasp before jing yuan can catch hold of him again.

jing yuan's eyes open and he stares at him blankly from the bedding for a moment, confused as to why (name) left his embrace. the male laughs brightly at the expression he's wearing, clearly amused.

"didn't you say need to get up? you should start getting ready now," (name) says with a smile as he throws on a spare shirt. "

with a final brush of his lips against jing yuan's, (name) slips from the room, leaving nothing but his clear laughter behind. jing yuan stares at the empty doorway, before he lets out a sigh and slumps backwards onto the bedding.

"so cruel..." he mutters, shaking his head.
