⌛ Who: Jiang Cheng, Anakinn Theerapanyakul and YOU ⌛ What: Anything and everything around the kingdoms ⌛ When: January ⌛ Where: Nippon! ⌛ Warnings: Will be listed in subject header as needed
Will does as asked, watching Jiang Cheng carefully as he moved through the room. It was like he was Will's anchor and if he blinked too long the other man might vanish. So his red-rimmed eyes were fixed on Wanyin until he sat back down and wrapped Will in his outer robe. The Fae nestled into it, inhaling Jiang Cheng's unique scent. In other circumstances he might've teased, but for now? For now, he just enjoyed the added warmth of the robe and Wanyin's company.
He wasn't able to sleep for long. It was a fitful nap for maybe a little more than an hour before Will bolted up. Those dark eyes blinked and it took seconds for him to remember why he was on the floor in the first place and not in his bed. Blinking a few more times, he turned to look to Jiang Cheng and something that might have been a ghost of a smile passed over his lips.
"I thought I just imagined you, but here you are."
To Jiang Cheng's credit, he didn't completely resort to reaction mode. When Will jolted, he twitched from his meditation but deep down knew that if the place hadn't been safe, he never would have worked on his cultivation. He allowed Will to sit up and Cheng opened his eyes to look at the other. With only two layers of his robes on, he could feel the pleats not quite pressing close to his neck and collarbones, but he wasn't concerned about that. What he was concerned was about Will and Riley.
"I'm no imagination," he confirmed softly, taking a moment to brush a bit of hair out of Will's face. "How are you feeling?"
"Hollow," he answered honestly. Not empty, just... cavernous. Like everything inside him had been scooped out and placed elsewhere. "But you help," he added quickly. Yes, Jiang Cheng's presence was something warm, a spark that added to his hope and brought even a tiny bit of comfort. He wouldn't deny that.
"I think... Vegas is cooking if you get hungry. Pete's been bringing food to me. I can ask him for some for you, too."
Cheng smiled slightly at that. "When I'm hungry. Right now, I'm taking care of you, not the other way around. So don't worry. What do you need to be done here?"
More importantly, what does Will want outside of the obvious.
What did he need? He looked around vaguely until his eyes fell on the pile of pets curled up together near the couch. They knew something was wrong, too. He could tell.
"Can you take care of the babies? Do you know how to walk dogs?"
He'd seen the animals earlier, but his attention had been all on Will and Riley. He looks over to the group and smiles softly. "Of course. They must need to go out, anyway."
Cheng rests his lips on Will's temple, then starts to get up, looking over to the group. "Come on, let's go out."
Will nodded slowly. It's weird, he knows, but George likes to act like one of the dogs some of the time. George is a weird little guy. At least their dogs behave like normal dogs.
"Over there," he nodded toward the small table by the door. On it is a dish for keys and all four leashes for all four pets.
Everyone seemed eager for a walk (even the cat!) and it was a couple of minutes before he had all the wiggly butts leashed up. Before he left with them, Cheng walked over to where Will still sat and with a finger moved to tilt Will's chin up. There was a gentle kiss placed on his lips, something to further show that he was here and not going to let the Fae flounder.
"I will have the device on me if you need me."
Who knew how long it had been since the dogs were out.
Will made a soft, whimpering sound against Jiang Cheng's lips, then sighed with some measure of contentment.
"Thank you," he murmured, peering up at Wanyin from under his lashes. It was kind of him to help out. Even kinder to leave himself available to Will. Truly, if he hadn't already loved the guy, he'd be hopeless about it now.
The pets missed their morning walk, but they could sense that things were off and decided not to make a fuss about it. But now that someone's leashing them? They're basically dancing in place in excitement.

That was surprising. So surprising that Cheng had to give Will a look. "You can walk the cat."
Well, this was Nippon and Nippon was weird. Cheng can work with it. "I just need their leashes, then."
