Didn't want to be hurt again. Boy was that a feeling he understood after all the pain he'd been through. But then Wanyin was leaning closer so he slowed them down to better be able to get closer to listen to what he had to say.

And what he heard brought a soft smile to Riley's face.

"You can ask me for hugs or kisses anytime you want them." Slowing them down more until they were at a stop, Riley moved closer and wrapped his arms around Wanyin to give him a big hug. With the man being almost a head taller than him it was easy to tuck right in there and make sure that he gave him the warmest affection possible, making sure it lasted rather than pulling away immediately.

Riley didn't move. Not even a little bit. Instead he waited for Wanyin to let him know when he was ready for them to part. At the words though, he brought his hands up and cupped his face. Though he was on ice, he had no problems going on his toes to bring his lips up to press a kiss to the man's forehead.

"I'll hug you and kiss you whenever you need it. Even if we're not together you can call me and I'll come over. You don't have to be alone anymore and you don't have to miss warmth from others anymore either." Lowering back down, Riley gave him a soft look.

"Not so long ago there were people here who hurt me really badly by playing with my heart and those who loved me gave me warmth to heal. So you can have my warmth now to heal in whatever way you need, okay? I promise."

If Wanyin needed to sit then they'd sit. Getting them to the edge, he helped them get to a bench where he sat down to listen. And it was...almost eerie how much of it rang true for him. How much of it was like his own story. But he didn't say that, trying to give the man a chance to talk. Riley could tell that this was hard for him and that he was probably scared it would chase him off.

When there was a pause, he realized that maybe there was more. So he kept quiet but he reached out to put his hands between Wanyin's in order to hold one. Giving it a squeeze, he gave him a reassuring nod.

He was still listening. For as long as the man needed.

Wanyin had really been through a lot. People always wanting him to be their image of him rather than accepting him for who he was. It was a feeling that made his heart ache for how much he understood it. So when it came to an end, Riley reached up with his other hand to gently cup the man's face and smiled softly before he looked out over the frozen water they'd been skating on.

"A lot of my origins I only found out recently but I was born to one of the two leaders of the Fae, the Unseelie Queen. Ashamed of having given birth to a sickly and dying child, she pretended to never have had me and swapped me with a human baby so I could die there instead. My parents were able to get me well again though and I lived a normal life. Even when my magic started developing at sixteen I didn't really think anything of it. Just a coincidence in the world around me."

He took a deep breath as he continued. "When I was eighteen the Fae realized that I hadn't died and they started to come after me. Even though they hadn't wanted me as a child suddenly they wanted to force me to be what they wanted, to pick one of the Courts to serve. To try to force my hand they've killed a lot of people that I love right in front of my eyes. The Unseelie Queen herself even came and hurt Will badly trying to get me. They've never cared that I don't want the life they're forcing on me, I don't want to be the person they're trying to force me to be."

But that was just in his world. There was more. So much more. "I was brought here before Will was and before I even knew that the Queen was my birth mother. Around that time I met P'Kinn and I got close to him quickly but I also met someone named Xie. Xie was brought here injured and I would visit him every day in the hospital and every day after he was out. We got really close and I definitely developed feelings for him. Well, eventually he went to live with someone from his world named Baiyi. I got to meet him too and I guess I was too modern for him and he apparently had feelings for Xie. He got upset and...left for days. Xie and I didn't know what to do but I confessed to him and Xie was interested in me too."

He paused there just to take a breath, wanting to get through this without getting upset. But it was definitely painful for him.

"When he came back I explained my feelings and said it was okay if he wanted me to back off. As long as I could just be friends with Xie I was happy. But then he wanted me too for some reason. The three of us ended up together and for a bit it was really good. Until the dinner party where I had my first drink of alcohol for the first time."

Squeezing Wanyin's hand, he let himself draw strength from him. "Turns out Fae are weak to alcohol and I had no idea. I was a mess. You saw me at New Years. Everyone took such good care of me and P'Vegas even called my boyfriends to make sure I'd get home safe. Baiyi came and said I was being an embarrassment then harassed P'Vegas with invasive questions and when P'Vegas tried to leave he used a sort of...magical force to shove him back in the chair. P'Pete broke it up and Baiyi took me home. The next day he went and told me how I wasn't allowed to see others without him or Xie and that he didn't trust my friends. I asked him to trust me even if he couldn't trust them but he just told me he couldn't."

Swallowing, he pushed forward. "We didn't talk for weeks and I refused to stop seeing P'Kinn and the others because they're my family. Then suddenly he took Xie and I to a festival and pretended like nothing happened. When I confronted him, he shattered our bond. Luckily I had my family to take me in and I was okay and I still had Xie. Things were even great with Xie and he would come see me all the time. He protected me when I got cursed and was scared of everything. Then suddenly after one of those visits and sleeping with me he sent me a message out of nowhere and just...ended things. Said that only Baiyi could give him what he needed. Everything I've done for him didn't matter and that bond shattered too."

This time tears did fall but he didn't bother to stop them. Instead he just smiled over at Wanyin. "I had people to help me pull through the really bad times. But I know what it feels like to have people think they can control you and hurt you. I don't want to be anything more than me and free to do that. So if I can give you that too I'd really like to. I think you're very special, Wanyin. It means so much that you even just sit here holding my hand not to mention everything else you've let me have with you."

Getting validation for his side of things felt good. He didn't expect anything but he got that. It was enough to make him smile again as he was thanked and he listened to the rest. Then he knew exactly what he needed to do. That knowledge felt really good.

Lifting his hands, he cupped the man's face. Gently. Warmly.

"You have had a lot of people in your life demand things of you or not tell you what they want. I'm Fae so that means I'm not capable of ever directly lying to you about anything. Know that so you can know everything I have to say next is completely true," he started.

"Will and I are very special to each other. It's why we're married now. But that doesn't mean you can't be special to us too. We picked you for you to be with us. It's okay if you mess up sometimes because you're new to this. We're never going to ask you to be perfect. Just. You."

He smiled a little more as his thumbs started to stroke those handsome cheeks. "I want to know you and for you to be in my life in what ever way makes you happy too. Just my friend? Or maybe as a lover? A boyfriend? More? As long as you can be happy then I will be too. I want you to be who you are and who you want to be. I want to learn about you and grow with you. I want you to come to find that we'll always pick you too just like we did when we asked you out on that date we had."

And now he was smiling brightly. "I want you. That is what I want. My only expectations of you are that I get to see you and know you want to see me too. Everything else? That's just stuff to make what we have more special and magical. As long as I get to have you in my life in any way then I have everything I well and truly want from you, Wanyin."

His eyes widened a little at the offered name. And then he smiled again, closing his eyes as the man leaned in closer to rest their heads together. Gently, he kept stroking his cheeks.

"The Fae always have a True Name where it can be dangerous if a human knows that name. Because it can give you power over us. I only like going by Riley but I want you to know it anyway. Llyr. That's my True Name. I want to give that to you as a gift so you can always remember that you're so special to me, Cheng," he murmured quietly to him, letting this be a moment just between them even though they were out where anyone could see them.

Even though he didn't go by it and preferred the name that his parents had given him, he still loved that now Cheng got to know it too. Smiling at him, he nodded at the question. No more intense emotions. They could just go have fun together.

"Do you want to have hot chocolate with me when we're done?" Maybe a snack to go with it too.

Riley's smile grew and he leaned over to give Cheng a gentle kiss to the lips before he stood up. Holding out his hands to the man, the Fae gave a cute little tilt of his head. Running into Cheng like this? He was so grateful for it.

"Come here. Let's have fun together. From what you've told me you haven't had a lot of chances for that in your life. So I want to help you make up for lost time."
