Twisted Fates | DanCae - Caelus x Dan Heng |

Chapter 5

The Trailblazer's comment really threw Dan Heng off guard. Soft? Him? Maybe so after all that they had all been through together, but that was a maybe. "Caelus, I'm not sure I get what you're talking about."

"For someone so smart, you're so dense." Caelus rolled his eyes and stood up. "And I thought I was the oblivious one." He shifted his standing position so he was now in front of Dan Heng, leaning over slightly to look into those eyes that he found so intriguing. "Use that head of yours!"

"I use my brain a lot more than you do, that's for sure. You run into things without even a thought." The other shook his head, looking back up into the amber, almost gold color of Caelus's eyes. He thought about saying more, but the look he was being given at the moment said that it probably wasn't a good idea to do so. Caelus was using the glare that Dan Heng was pretty sure Himeko had taught him. It wasn't very pleasant.

"You're lucky you're my friend, Dan Heng."

"Friend? Oh you wound me, Caelus." Dan Heng raised an eyebrow, teasing the other for the fun of it. "How dare you call me such a thing."

However, that just seemed to confuse him. Which just made Dan Heng chuckle quietly.

"See, I was trying to be sentimental earlier and now you've just confused me. I need a nap." The Trailblazer moved his arm and rubbed his forehead in a few circles as if he had some sort of headache. He was trying to flirt with the damn guy, but it wasn't his strong suit. He was better at combat than anything romantic. For..obvious reasons.

As Caelus went to stand upright to turn and head down the Parlor Car to get to the rooms, or cabins as most would likely call them, he let out a yelp as he was pulled backwards by his companion. "Dan Heng!-"

"I understood what you meant before." He cut him off and moved Caelus so he was sitting on his lap directly and not at some weird angle since he had pulled him down. "I'm not that dense. But I'd say you are but-"

"Boys!" Himeko called, emerging from the door where the cabins were meant to be. "Now is not the time to be messing around, we have a situation going on." She looked genuinely concerned about whatever it was. Both Dan Heng and Caelus looked at each other, with one of them having to twist his back a bit to even be able to do so. Then they both looked back at Himeko.

  "What's wrong, Miss Himeko?"
 
  "You guys messing around. If I have to hear you two, or more accurately, if I can hear from all the way through here with your antics, I'll let Pom Pom deal with you."

  "Our antics? We're just-"

  "Flirting. Very badly too."

  Both the Trailblazer and the Nameless could feel their faces heat up from embarrassment as Himeko said this. Flirting? They were doing nothing of the sort. More like..friendly banter.

  "I'd never flirt with Dan Heng! He may be a little sweet but that man is as salty as a carnival pretzel!"

"How dare you compare me to a pretzel! From a carnival of all things!" Dan Heng grabbed the back at Caelus's outfit, making him yelp in surprise once again, and shifted in his lap so that he was facing him and his legs were around him. "You take that back, Trailblazer."

  "My name is Caelus, you pretzel man!" He tried to move back but he being held in place by Dan Heng's surprisingly, yet very unsurprisingly, strong grip. "You called me sweet a moment ago, now I'm a pretzel? What kind of logic does that brain of yours have?!"

  Himeko, who was watching this like a disappointed mother, sighed. "Children." March 7th had joined Himeko, coming from her room, frowning. "Are they seriously doing this again?"

The rose haired women looked over at the other as the playful-ish arguing continued between Caelus and Dan Heng.

  "Again?"

  "Those two are always either bickering or flirting. Yet neither of them actually do anything about it. Do you know how painful it is to watch this all the time?"

  "Care to explain, March?"

  "Dan Heng protecting Caelus when we found him in the Space Station and his CPR attempt that looked more like a kiss than anything." March counted all of this on her fingers. "Then we have the Luofu where Dan Heng also protect Caelus when we all found each other again. His attention went right to him."

  "He did? Huh..Welt did mention that when you all got back to the Express."

  "And I'm sick of them acting like they aren't some old married couple!"

  March 7th walked over to her other companions, Caelus still sitting in a very awkward position on Dan Heng's lap, and reached out. She shoved Caelus forward.

  "March! What the-"

   Caelus was cut off by the fact that him and the man in front of him had collided. Lip wise. They were definitely kissing.

  Dan Heng was just as surprised as the other was, but neither of them moved. In fact, he reached up and rested one of his hands on the back of Caelus's neck, pulling him more into the kiss. He didn't resist, but the other did decide to be a little difficult and bite his lip.

  "OW!- Caelus! Why did you just bite me?!"

  "Intrusive thoughts. Your lips looked bitable."

  "You are such a little—"

  "Oh don't even. You love me."

  "I was trying to have a cute moment with you."

  "And I wanted to bite. Sooo...that's your fault."

  "...Oh shut up."

  The Nameless grabbed Caelus by his outfit again and went back to kissing him. Holding him by his collar in case the other tried to bite him again.

  Meanwhile Himeko covered her eyes and covered March's as well when she had gotten back over to her. "So..they kiss, now what?"

  March grinned.

"200 credits says they act like this didn't even happen."
