{As soon as he is alerted to Riley's condition - and as as soon as Baiyi gets their Fae home - Xie is drawn to him, scooping him into his arms. He strokes back Riley's hair and peers into his eyes with a small smile.}
[He blinks as he tries to figure out how he ended up with his feet off the ground. Intoxicated as he is, it takes time for him to realize he's been picked up. And this time by Xie who he immediately curls into after he figures out what happened.]
I think Baiyi is mad at me...
[And he's not even sure why. It's so hard to think with the alcohol in his system.]
Well. Looks like I won't have to dip into the savings.
[He's grinning, waving a parchment in front of the camera.]
Look at this, Riley! Sixteen suites, a central garden, two levels, and what I can think of would be a carport in our time. It....needs some work, though.
[The camera pans to the interior of the lobby. It looks like some paranormal experts should fumigate the place first.]
We can make it better. And we can do what we need to make it right. It's in the Kohaku district. I swear someone was listening to me.
[Someone is going to have to drop some merit off somewhere]
[It makes him so happy that he basically gets to be included in what he's pretty sure is the mafia call about this place. So much so that he can't stop grinning as he answers.]
That's so much room! There aren't even that many to fill up the spaces!
[He knows this is in text but he needs to here that voice so bad so he switches to audio. His own voice is so hopeful because he's been worried he might have lost Xie too.]
A-Ley, I need to be honest with you - you deserve nothing less. You are dear to me - someone I love and want to protect. What we have is wonderful and I know your future will be bright. However, in my time, it isn't right to have multiple partners. This has caused me a great sense of guilt and I -
I need to devote myself to Baiyi. I know you and he have disagreements, but he is helping me in ways you do not know. I need him and I think he needs me.
I hope you will remain my friend and part of my family. {He ends the message with a small, sad smile and a full bow.}
That... That's not true... Having multiple partners was...
[He's picking Baiyi over him again. Riley is already crying as he feels betrayed. He was there for Xie long before Baiyi took Xie in. He's done so much for him and it's not enough?
He's always going to pick Baiyi. A man who is controlling and unmoving and harsh and...
Riley cries more.]
Please... Leave me alone. Someone who loves me wouldn't hurt me like this to pick someone who actively hurt me for a month.
[And he hangs up. He is truly so hurt and betrayed. It feels like it doesn't matter what he's done for Xie, how long he's been there for him... It doesn't count for anything. None of it. That's a painful truth to deal with.]
Hello, I am called Nie Huaisang. My new friend, Pete, said that you would be the person to talk with about where one might acquire art supplies. I'm new to the area, well at least this version of me is. And I find that I'm starting over in learning the area and the location of shops, etc.
Kim had asked Riley on a date and a date they had. Simple food and walking along the city streets and talking. Kim was very much smitten with the two men he called his boyfriends. Each as individuals and as a pair.
Riley was okay in the chilly air but Kim wasn't, plus he couldn't wait to get that beautiful man alone. His hand holding Riley's hand he smiled to him softly. " want to go to my place?" he asked leaning in to whisper softly to his ear. " I want kiss you in places public would not be safe for." his breath playing gently across the skin of Riley's ear as he gave his ear lobe a soft kiss and a gentle nip.
Going on a date had been so nice. It hadn't been anything elaborate but honestly those were the best kind. Because everyone could just be themselves that way. Which meant so much more now that he was dating Kim and giving him so much room to express his love and affection. Something a date had been perfect for.
But now that Kim was cold and they were head back, he tilted his head at the whisper. A smile came to his lips as he tightened his grip on the hand that held his, shivering from how those words made his heart race.
"They could be pretty safe but you'd get cold. Let's get inside and you can show me all those places you want to kiss."
[ There is a bowl of fruit... native grown kiwi in fact. The natives claimed they were the sweetest things around and in season. There's a purple ribbon tie them all in and a note in two languages. The Chinese characters are elegant and free flowing. The English...leaves a bit to be desired, but is legible. ]
Thank you for the other night. I needed it more than you could ever understand. If you don't know the meaning of the fruit, ask.
[Well of course he's going to be eating it as he messages Cheng back. A piece literally being sucked on when Cheng answers. He smiles and waves then pulls it from his mouth.]
You said to ask for the meaning of the fruit. Is it something special? Or is this about the sex stuff? Because if you'd like some I'm ready.
[Here we have a young woman in some sort of enclosure. She still looks off--maybe sallow skinned? She looks nude from the shoulders up with her hair pulled up and away from her face.]
Hello, Riley. I'm a day late, but I'm okay. I woke up yesterday and I'm still trying to deal with the sensitivity.
[They're definitely sitting next to each other, Riley utterly engrossed in a book. But the gentle sound of his device catches his attention and he finds a spot to stop before looking to see who messaged him. Seeing it's Will, he smiles and sets the book aside so he can wrap his arms around his husband instead.]
Will bounced into their rooms all smiles with a package in his hands. Despite his bubbly exuberance, he was quiet in case Riley was concentrating on something. He poked his head into the adjoined room they had, looking for his husband. When he finally found him, he slung an arm around his shoulders and showered a cheek with kisses.
Riley had been reading when he felt that arm move around him. As usual, it took a second for him to come back to this world after being in his book. It was something that happened when he did art too. Luckily Will was used to it so Riley didn't feel guilty for it and just smiled at him.
Careful to not dislodge Shelley who had chosen to sleep on his feet, he twisted to face Will more. "Is it candy?"
(( He's sure the entire hotel heard them yelling at each other in the hall that day. How could they not? Neither Vegas nor Pete were trying in any way to keep their fight private.
Fight. As if it was just some misunderstanding and not Vegas blatantly violating his husband's trust and boundaries. Would he even be able to call Pete his husband for much longer? He lost Pete once before. So why did hurt so much more?
When he finally spoke, Vegas' voice was hoarse and quiet. ))
[Riley doesn't know what all happened other than what he heard in the courtyard and then what he's seen of Pete as well as what Will has told him from checking up on him. It's bad. It's so bad. And Vegas' voice only confirms that further.]
P'Vegas? What is it?
[He'll find out the favor then assess what he says next.]
