At least Wang Xian still got drunk in the same manner as before.  When he awoke, Wei Ying answered his question, knowing that his words were like the wind and would be lost once they left his mouth.

"I left a special person behind a long time ago in search of something I thought I wanted.  I went looking for a place where I truly belonged, where no one would hate or fear me for things they thought I did.  I wanted to forget them, forget their looks of distrust and anger.  I wanted to be loved, unconditionally.  I wanted to find love and, hell, maybe even start a family of my own."

Wei Ying's eyes became distant, his mind wandering, visions of what might have been flashing before him.

He let out a big sigh. "After searching for years, I came to realize that he was my home, he was my family.  He was everything I needed in life.  He was the one who loved me unconditionally and I was too stupid to see it.  So, I returned and.......we were happy for a while, weren't we?"  Wei Ying asked with a trembling smile.  His drunken gaze fixed on Wang Xian who didn't know how to answer so Wei Ying lowered his head in anguish.

"But, then he disappeared and now I'm terrified that I will never see him again.  Never hold him in my arms."  Wei Ying's breath hitched in his chest.  "Never be able to tell him......I love you.

Tears streamed endlessly down Wei Ying's flushed cheeks, landing softly on his black robes. His sobs were silent as he finally realized how much he had lost and might never get back. 

Wei Ying's glistening eyes looked up at Wang Xian who had moved to stand directly in front of him.  What Wei Ying saw destroyed him.  A single tear sparkled in the corner of Wang Xian's eye before falling gracefully down his cheek.  Wei Ying had never seen him cry before. It was as if his words had carved away at the hard exterior until there was nothing left but raw emotions.  He was the reason this strong man was in pain, pain he had put him through many times but was never there to see the aftermath. 

Wang Xian moved even closer until his legs were touching Wei Ying's.  Wei Ying could feel the heat emanating from Wang Xian's body and it was intoxicating, more than the wine that filled his stomach.  He closed his eyes as his mind and heart warred with each other, each fighting for control of his exhausted and drunk body.  He couldn't......shouldn't......it wasn't proper.  He had no right.  He should just leave now, even though the sun had set hours ago.  He couldn't take advantage of someone who didn't know the truth and would remember nothing in a few hours.

"I'm sorry." Wei Ying blurted out.  "I have to leave.  I need to......"

He stumbled off the chair, his world spinning out of focus.  Before he fell, Wang Xian lifted him and pushed him back into the chair.  Wei Ying held his aching head in his hands.  As he stared at the floor in front of him, he saw Wang Xian's knees hit the boards with a loud thud.  Wei Ying raised his head slowly and was captured in Wang Xian's primal stare.  That look pierced through his morals and sent him over the edge.

Their lips crashed together, fierce and painful.  It didn't matter who kissed whom first, it only mattered that it happened.  Wei Ying groaned into Wang Xian's mouth, the vibrations causing Wang Xian to grow harder under his robes. Their tongues battled, each wanting to dominate the other. Their hands frantically caressed and grasped each other in a tangle of need.  Their scents combined into one, their hearts melting together.
