[It's been a few weeks since he realised that Break felt anything more than friendship towards him. A few weeks since, and with his health much improved, Baizhu is once again puttering around his pharmacy as the working day draws to a close.
Break is there, of course. The doctor can hear him moving around in the back room, where he had sent him a few minutes ago to fetch something. He never forgets that the other man can't see, but he also rarely treats him any differently because of it. He simply makes sure that he keeps things in the same places so they can be easily found.]
We're done for the day, I think.
[Baizhu calls out as he sighs to himself and pushes the latch to lock the front door of the shop before turning the sign around. He pauses there for a moment, then turns away and heads to the other room to locate his companion.]
Break— ah. There you are.
[A small smile warms his expression as he catches the other man in the corridor that leads to both the pharmacy back rooms and the stairs into to the main house. Letting him pass would be easy enough but instead, almost playfully, he catches Break by the wrist and gently pins him to the wall, his free hand resting on the smaller man's hip.]
[Break hadn't expected helping out in the pharmacy to be as fulfilling as it has been. Though there are times he misses the thrill of the fight. When he hears Baizhu call out he leaves the backroom to head up front.]
Oh? Did you want something?
[He was expecting some last minute work things, or maybe even a quick kiss as they finish up. He wasn't prepared to be pinned to the wall, and it takes a second to catch up.]
My, my~ This is a surprise~
[He's not used to being on the receiving end of this kind of thing, and hopes he sounds a bit more confident than he feels.]
[Baizhu does not boast any real physical strength but he doesn't expect to encounter much resistance as he holds Break's wrist to the wall beside his head and presses flush to him, a small smile on his lips as he dips his head for a kiss.]
You've been very helpful today, I thought you might deserve a reward.
[He rubs the pad of his thumb against the base of Break's palm, gently teasing.]
[Break may not be used to this kind of treatment, but he finds he doesn't mind at all. Especially with Baizhu pressed up against him. Break can feel his face warm.]
I think I can excuse a bit of unfairness.
[As he kisses Baizhu back, he trails his free hand up the other's arm.]
[And he melts into it easily. A minute passes, and his fingers find their way under the hem of Break's shirt to brush the warmth of his hip.
He's never pushed anything, content to have the man's company and affection in any way he wants to give it as well as his own frailty often keeping him from advancing such things, but...
[Break is much the same way, unwilling to push things, mostly as a result of the world he lived in previously. However, if Baizhu is going to be forward, the least Break can do is respond in kind.]
You tempt me every day.
[Realizing that while that's the truth it's not an answer, he adds soft]
[There's a soft sigh as he moves his hand up enough to lace his fingers between Break's, holding his hand to the wall with barely any force at all. If he wanted to get free it would be easy enough to do it.
He can't recall a time Break has ever pulled out of his grasp, though...]
Every day? [As if he only just realised what Break said, he repeats it and chuckles.] That is entirely unintentional, I assure you.
[Break has no intention of freeing himself. He loves every bit of attention he gets from Baizhu. He smiles, and stamps down any embarrassment from sharing the truth.]
[And his hand clasps around Break's, keeping hold of it as he lowers it and uses the leverage to pull his body closer, stealing another kiss from him as he does.]
Then I shall refrain from apologising for it. [Since, well, it seems they are both getting what they want after all.] Do you need to go home to fetch anything or do I have you for the evening?
[He keeps hold of the man's hand as they head down that narrow hall and up the stairs to the upper levels of the house. Baizhu can feel his heart racing, anticipation and excitement mixing together in the pit of his stomach, and if it wasn't clear what he intended then perhaps the way he immediately leads Break to his bedroom would clear things up.
A quick check for Changsheng, then he closes the door behind them.]
[Break grabs his cane as he's lead upstairs. While Break isn't completely naive, there is some surprise at the idea that this isn't just going to be another make out and then sleep situation, given that that's the furthest they gone before.]
Baizhu...
[He trails off, wanting to confirm his intentions, but not sure how to ask.]
[There's a soft huff of air exhaled as he looks over to Break and squeezes his hand, tugging him closer again with a smile that's audible in his voice.]
You have been very good to me, my dear, and I have come to care for you a great deal. [He curls a finger beneath Break's chin, nudging his head to tilt upwards.]
[There is no way Break isn't blushing as he looks up at Baizhu with his unseeing eye. While usually on the other side of situations like this, he finds that he could easily get used to this. For now, he relishes in the butterflies Baizhu is giving him.]
Of course. [His answer is soft, barely more than a whisper.] In any way you'd like.
[In any way he'd like? It's enough to make even someone as patient and generous as Baizhu want to be greedy, hearing something like that. He pauses, as if giving Break a moment to change his mind if he's going to, then he takes hold of both of his hands to draw him away from the door.]
In that case.
[A step back, then another. He seats Break on the edge of the bed and gently urges him back onto it.]
[Break leaves his cane by the door and allows Baizhu to guide him to the bed. He lays back on it. He takes a moment to consider Baizhu's suggestion there. He doesn't often (read: ever) let others take care of him. But perhaps this once he'll make an exception.]
[A year ago this would have been unthinkable. He would have shied away from it immediately, reasoning that such things were simply not anything he had time for or the inclination to pursue. How things change...
Still, being on the side of taking charge is fairly new to him. He's mindful of Break's blindness, as always, and he sets his own glasses aside quickly before he's joining the other man and kissing him, pushing a hand into his hair as his own heart begins to drum loudly in his ears.
Some things do not change. He knows he has to pace himself.]
Do let me know, [Baizhu tells him quietly.] If there's something you don't like.
[He nods a little before their lips meet again and hums a soft sound of confirmation against Break's lips. Baizhu takes a moment to decide how he's going to arrange his slender limbs, settling on sliding one knee up between Break's thighs and almost unintentionally giving him something to grind his hips up against.
One hand stays in his hair. The other unfastens a few buttons of his shirt, his thumb slowly rolling against each button and slipping it through the buttonhole. He takes his time, letting them both get used to this new and large step in their relationship, but he can already feel his body responding to the flush of arousal buzzing through it.
Easy does it, Baizhu.
He realises he's been impatient for this for a while. Now that it's happening...
Baizhu pauses, taking a moment to quietly admire the other man. He is something special, certainly, to have drawn his attention like this. A few more buttons get undone, slowly, as he parts the fabric across Break's chest.]
[Break grinds up slowly against Baizhu's leg. He has no interest in rushing through their first time together, even as excited as he is.
He's grateful that Baizhu's taking his time with his shirt, as it give Break the chance to decide if he's okay with the other seeing his contractor's seal. He lands on 'it'll be fine' and doesn't bother stopping him yet.
When Baizhu pauses, Break finds himself blushing again, though this time not entirely from arousal. He's always been a bit self-conscious about his appearance, and hopes he measures up here.]
[Baizhu laughs softly when he hears that question. As if he senses the trepidation behind it.]
Break... [He smiles against the next kiss he presses to the man's lips as the lightly calloused tips of his fingers slide over Break's pale chest.] What a thing to ask.
[That is to say that yes, he very much likes what he sees. All of it.
Those curious fingertips brush against the mark on Break's skin, Baizhu's golden eyes half lidding in idle curiosity at it, but he doesn't ask. At least, he isn't going to ask right now.]
[He's still blushing, but he relaxes at that answer. He moans softly at the fingers exploring his chest. One thing he didn't realize about being blind is that even the light touches are more potent.
He doesn't offer any explanation for his seal, even though he's sure it's caught Baizhu's attention, and instead grinds up against his leg again.]
[The mark is unimportant right now. What is more important entirely is the way Break softly moans when he's touched, the way his face is flushed pink, and Baizhu only hesitates for a moment before the press of his lips replaces his fingertips and he kisses a slow, exploratory trail across Break's chest.
His golden eyes lift up, watching the other's reactions from under his eyelashes. The shift in position puts the firm length of his thigh out of easy reach for Break to press against and so he replaces that pressure with his hand, rolling his palm against the front of Break's trousers.
He doesn't think he's ever seen the man utterly lose his composure. Somehow, the idea of it is immensely appealing...]
[Break's eyes are shut as he focuses on the sensations. His hands move up to the other's back. He gets a little louder, and arches into Baizhu's touch. He wants to tease and give off some of his usual attitude.]
Baizhu-
[That's all he's able to get out before he moans again.]
[Break has never seemed fragile to Baizhu and yet as he touches him he treats him as if he's something precious and fragile. His touches and kisses are light and soft, a contrast to the firm hand slipped between Break's thighs as the man rocks up against his palm.]
Can you help me with your clothes? [He asks as he pulls his hand away, giving the man a moment to breathe. It would be easier if he wasn't handling everything, at least as far as undressing goes.]
