There was an 'oof' as Kinn landed on the floor but now it had turned into a tickle war than a sparring match. He was trying to keep his fingers on the back of Kim's neck and straddle Kim to keep him down and get access to his brother's ribs.
"What a big head nong has," Kinn teased. "Pity it's just the top one."
"What a big head nong has," Kinn teased. "Pity it's just the top one."
Holy fuck, this man did things to Porsche's heart that couldn't possibly be legal. Even without the influence of the drug, Kinn knew what to say, how to say it, and the expression of naked vulnerability ... yeah that was the icing on an already irresistible cake.
A soft kiss to the pad of the thumb was all Porsche would allow himself in the moment. There was supposed to be an experiment taking place after all. "You are home, baby," he answered, unable to stop himself from leaning closer. How could he resist after that confession?
Fuck it. "I love you ... but ... we're doing something here. Remember? You wanted to see if you could withstand the effects of the drug?"
And he had to be honest, Kinn had been almost immediately susceptible. At this point, Porsche wasn't letting him near anything of questionable origin.

Drug? Kinn's mouth frowned a bit. It was so hard to concentrate with Porsche leaning in so close... He needed to chase those lips. They were his, after all.
"You're the only drug I'll ever need," he murmured, his grasp of the situation slipping quickly. "Why would I need anything else?"
The reality was this: Kinn could handle alcohol and tobacco, but that was it. Would he be like this with the drug cocktails available at home? Who knew? What was known was that it seemed Kinn would be helpless against this drug, should someone slip it into his food or drink.
He finally dives in, trying to steal a kiss, his whole body inching closer. One hand takes hold of Porsche's wrist to put the man's hand on his crotch. "See? Only drug I ever want or need."

Huaisang's gaze fell to the table to between them, seemingly focused on the tea cup in his hands. Ah what had he been up to before this? What had inspired him to trifle with Jiang Wanyin? Silently he cursed that other version of himself and could only wonder at what the motivation had been.
"Did I ..." Huaisang glanced up for a fraction of a moment then back down. "Do I owe you an apology? Granted, I am completely unaware of what happened before and I will not press for details. But it was still me, after a fashion. And, well, I hope I did nothing that would harm our friendship, whatever remains of it from our youth."
He sincerely hoped that he had not taken the over indulgences of this realm and allowed it overwhelm his good sense. Truly, he knew better after the time spent avenging his brother. Unless he had run a little wild after the stress of the last years being lifted from him?

"Looking good is important." To him. He rather thinks it is to Kinn, too, given how he dressed so nicely back home. But then his expression actually turned thoughtful. "If I had a traditional wedding, I would want it to be intimate. Just the closest people to me and Pete. Less chance for interruptions."
As much as they both were way too old for this kind of tickle war, Kim was laughing like he hadn't in far too long. If anyone were to stumble on their spar they would no doubt be wondering what the hell the two were actually doing, but in the moment that didn't matter.
Kim gave Kinn the back of his neck in exchange for his free hand moving to try and make a grab for Kinn's ribs. " Oh, phi. The dick jabs? Really? "

This was what Cheng had been struggling with ever since he agreed to meet up with Huaisang. As much as he wanted an apology…was it worth it? Words were just that. This Huaisang had no memory of what happened. And truthfully, he agreed to meet with Cheng, so that was already an improvement. But what exactly did Cheng want out of this?
His family was essentially dead. He and Wangji never really got along and all that was really left of his world who was ‘alive’ was Huaisang. Cheng didn’t know what the living situation was in the Unclean Realm but he had to assume that Huaisang and Mingjue were living together. As much as Cheng wanted to separate himself from the stagnant past, he also wanted that comforting familiarity. And deep down, he didn’t want Huaisang floundering if he received the same treatment as Cheng did, one day. Instead of blurting out his frustrations, he drank his tea, using the time to formulate a proper response.
“We were lovers, Huaisang.”
Did that admission have less bite to it than Cheng was anticipating? He had no idea. Still, he pressed on, setting his tea cup down. “At least, that’s how I thought of it. It…I don’t believe it was a good match. We wanted different things. And if it still stands, there was a room for me in the Unclean Realm, filled with the elements that made Lotus Pier home. When I left, I took only what I had brought with me initially-and no, I don’t want anything if it hadn’t been destroyed.” That he needed to make clear.
“As for an apology, we both are well aware that it is not the words that hold weight, but actions. The fact that you were willing to meet with me at all is proof that things will be different. And we’re in a tea house, not a room in an inn.” What else did he need to say? Nothing, really. Anything more would result in emotion and things his silvered tongue wanted to use as weapons and to be truthful, that would help no one. So when he finished, his eyes shifted from Huaisang’s face to his tea cup and proceeded to refill it. In hindsight, it was good they weren’t in a tavern. He wouldn’t be using cups for the wine that was offered.

He nods in contemplation. Vegas had a point about interruptions. Though it didn't seem like any would happen here--one never knew. Yokohama might actually get off their ass and try and do something then. "I can't see anyone at the temple with us other than you and Pete. No one else would really understand."
Kinn jerks quickly this way and that to keep his ribs safe, but he doesn't use any other force. To hear Kim's laughter was like music to his ears--until he was squeaking himself.
"What? You're getting jabbed by someone else and don't need me anymore?"
"What? You're getting jabbed by someone else and don't need me anymore?"
The noise he made at the comment Kinn made was a snort that escaped between him trying to get a rib or two and laughing.
" I do most of the 'jabbing' if you must know." dick and sex jokes yep that's the style tonight.
" I do most of the 'jabbing' if you must know." dick and sex jokes yep that's the style tonight.
"Well good for you!" He's still trying to get in the 'finish him!' tickle! "Nothing wrong with that, huh? Don't put anyone's eye out, okay?"
Shit! Kim got in a lucky shot and Kinn practically screeches, trying to keep his position and wriggle away at the same time. It wasn't working well.

" I know right?" he said doing this odd little shimmy across the floor to keep Kinn's fingers from hitting the super tickle spots. Who'd have thought these two were actually pretty ticklish?
The screech made Kim laugh more than he already was, " No promises, I mean it does get a mind of it's own sometimes."

That Huaisang heard anything beyond the initial answer was surprising. He wouldn't have been more surprised than if Jiang Wanyin had reached out and hit him. The rest of the words just added to the sense of overwhelmed confusion Huaisang was experiencing. Lovers? An affair that had turned bitter? What in all the heaven's had he been thinking? Why would he have jeopardized that fragile friendship only to turn around and mistreat Jiang Wanyin? And make no mistake, he took full blame in this. Huaisang knew what he was capable of when it came to dealing with others. He had either been malicious or careless. Either was unforgivable.
There was one thing he could address while he tried to find his feet with the rest of it. "I am unsure if your room is as you left it. Knowing my brother as I do, I doubt he would have done anything to it. So it goes without saying that you are welcome to come back and reclaim anything you wish. Otherwise it will remain as you left it until you give me leave to do elsewise with it." It was only a room after all. Apparently it was the very least he could do to make amends.
Had everything that had happened before been him & his choices and actions and words? Yes, he felt most sincerely that it was, regardless of his memory or lack there of. "Words won't erase what I have done," he went on. "And no, I have no intention of pressing for details. I can easily surmise at least the broad strokes of what must have occurred."
Here Huaisang paused, considering his next words very carefully. "You and others might not hold me responsible for happened before. Perhaps that it is right to some degree. I, however, do carry that responsibility. And so I feel the only proper actions I can offer in lieu of words is keeping to whatever distance you are comfortable with.
"We were friends once. To honor that friendship, I will not do anything harm or upset you going further."

"Oh my God, nong!" Was he going to act as if he feared for his ass? Sure! But did that mean he was going to give Kim the leverage to get up and top him? No fucking way. Instead he tried to go in for the 'kill': as one hand jabbed for the ribs, the other worked to catch that nerve that ran down the neck and behind the collar bone. If he could get his fingers in there, home run with the tickle championships!
That room meant so much to Cheng-more than he probably should give it, if he were being honest. And in some fashion, it still meant something to him even if he vowed never to look at it or take anything from it again. Too many things were burned or buried or lost to time or broken memories. And while that room had become a cage, towards the end, it was still a part of Lotus Pier. Cheng couldn't dream of having it torn down.
He was quiet for a long moment after Huaisang's offer of distance. It was a devil's offer, he was certain of it, but not that Huaisang was the devil: his own mind could be. He looked up, feeling vulnerable, and choosing not to scowl. "I would still like to be friends. As much as there are several of us here, the fact remains that those who were dead outnumber us living and...You might find as I have that with the passage of time, you might have changed and grown in ways that the others might not understand. And it can be very lonely coming to that realization."

"In the temple?"
A small groan came from him. "This is why I had other people do guest lists. Right. So. For the ceremony, anyone with the surname Theerapanyakul," that took care of Kim, too, "the Fae, and that should be good, then." Anyone else he would want to witness the event were no longer here. "At least from my side. I'll have to see who Porsche wants to invite, too."

"At least from my side. I'll have to see who Porsche wants to invite, too."
The reaction just made him laugh more, this side of Kim never seen the light of day so it really felt great to just let it roll for a while.
He knew what his brother was aiming for and as soon as the marks were met, particularly the one down his spine Kim did the only thing he could in his position. He let his body go completely limp, assuming the role of dead weight. He wouldn't respond, closing his eyes as if passed out or other wise injured.

"Then friends we shall be," he answered lightly.
He knew of the loneliness that Jiang Wanyin spoke of. He'd drowned in it when his brother had been taken from him. Mingjue had tried to prepare him for the role of sect leader and he'd fought tooth and nail to avoid it. It was something he wouldn't have to worry about again as he had his brother back.
But what he was hearing was nothing less than a confession. One made without a single shred of Jiang Wanyin's usual blustering anger that had served as his shield for at least as long as Huaisang had known him.
"Finding those that understand us and are supportive is vital if one is to survive what the fates bless us with," Huaisang answered in a gentle tone. "I hope that you have found that for yourself?"

Kinn paused when he felt the weight shift underneath him. And then he took a closer look at Kim. "A'Kim. Stop playing dead."
It wasn't fun if the other one didn't react! And now Kinn was trying to figure out if this was a ploy to get the upper hand or not. So he just pinched Kim's nose and waited.

He thought about that question, satisfied that Huaisang agreed to be friends. As much as he came to resent his own feelings, he still admired the man for being patient to avenge his brother's death-something he couldn't do for his own family.
As for finding support, something between pleased and awkward came across his face. "Yes, I think so. I always thought that I would find understanding with people around my own time. They've lead me to ponder if I was the one who was born in the wrong time. They allow me to consider options and make my own choices. That's..." Yes, he will admit that out loud, "extremely seductive. I enjoy being around them."
