This was a lot to take in and he didn't know how to handle it. He could feel tears spilling over his cheeks at what Riley said. His hands reached up to cover Riley's hands. Much of it, his inner self balked. No one could be so truthful like that, could he? A small voice within goes, 'try. No one is asking more than that'.
"My birthname is Cheng. With my people, when you become an adult, you are given a courtesy name so that others who are not family or very close may address you. You and Will may call me Cheng."
He was going to do this. He might not succeed, but that was okay with them. They weren't going to hold it against him and that concept had his heart beating fast in his chest. He didn't want to let them down!
He leaned in, resting his forehead against Riley's. There was a peace here that he didn't want to disturb with any more words. A press of lips to a forehead? That's fine. But he couldn't say any more for fear of blubbering.
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.
Llyr. It was foreign but no less foreign than Riley. He nodded, smiling softly. The touch was nice, Riley's words were--it was hard to remember that they were true, but that was something Cheng could work on.
"Do you want to keep skating?" He couldn't handle too much more of this and needed to do something else. The intimacy between them was welcomed, but they were public. Cheng needed to do something else before he forgot he was out in public.
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."

So the day turned out alright, by Cheng's standards. Hot Chocolate after ice skating sounded perfect to him.
