“Oh my–“, Xie Lian gasped quietly, “oh no, San Lang, look-“

Nudging his friend with an elbow, Xie Lian discreetly made Hua Cheng look over at the couple that had just entered the bakery they were visiting.

The two women, both of them with long, dark hair and a smile on their mouths, were walking hand in hand, providing an easy explanation for the quiet air of intimacy between them.

Forcing his eye away from Xie Lian, Hua Cheng looked over at them with a disinterested expression, his attention right back to Xie Lian after having glanced at the couple.

“Hm?”, Hua Cheng let his foot brush against Xie Lian’s, “does gege know them?”

Shaking his head, Xie Lian shuffled a little closer to his friend, his lips hovering right next to Hua Cheng’s ear.

“No, ah, San Lang–”, brown eyes were still focused on the women, “look at their necks.”

Those same eyes widened as realization hit him.

“Oh no… Oh, San Lang”, Xie Lian was horrified, “do you think they’ve been in a fight?”

Hua Cheng’s eyebrows furrowed, and he looked back at the couple for an entirety of two seconds before his frown smoothed into an expression of amusement.

“Gege”, Hua Cheng’s smirk was so exceedingly teasing that Xie Lian felt his chest grow warm, “…I think the only place they’ve been in a fight is in bed.”

Xie Lian had to cover his mouth with a hand to hide the way his lips popped open.

“Oh”, he breathed, peeking over his shoulder to look as the women ordered at the counter, “is that the bedeessum you’ve mentioned before?”

Lips twitching, Hua Cheng’s eye crinkled as he gazed at Xie Lian with sheer fondness in his eye.

“Mm. I doubt those marks are because of bdsm, gege”, Hua Cheng chuckled, lowering his voice into a sweet whisper as the women walked past them again, “just some regular love bites.”

Xie Lian’s lips shaped a tiny, understanding ‘o’ as he sneaked a glance at the couple’s retreating backs.

“Love bites?”

“Mmh”, Hua Cheng drawled, arm resting lazily on the back of Xie Lian’s chair, his hand gently grazing the brunette’s side, “love bites, hickeys. Gege is familiar with those?”

“Hmm”, wavering, Xie Lian looked down at the baked goods they’d ordered, all of the pastries neatly placed on the table in front of them, “I’ve heard about it, but–“

He glanced up at Hua Cheng, his heart thudding when he realized how intently his friend was watching him; his San Lang was truly a good listener!

“…But I didn’t know they could be so big”, the other man’s grey eye wandered between both of Xie Lian’s as the latter spoke, “or so purple!”

Licking his lips, Hua Cheng tilted his head and hummed thoughtfully.

“They can be”, his lips curled.  

“…It simply depends on how long and how hard you suck.”

Xie Lian couldn’t explain why, but those words filled his abdomen with a strange, heated sensation.

“…Oh”, he murmured, eyes dropping from Hua Cheng’s face to his throat and the loose collar of the shirt he was wearing.  

His lingering gaze made it noticeable to him when Hua Cheng swallowed.

“Gege… doesn’t have any experience with love bites?”

Shaking his head, Xie Lian carefully pulled off a piece from a baked bun, glancing up at Hua Cheng as he tucked it between his lips.

Hua Cheng’s gaze fell to his mouth.

“I do not”, Xie Lian mulled, chewing thoughtfully on the pastry.

The inhale Hua Cheng took in response was deep, yet silent.

“…Does San Lang?”

Long, nimble fingers tapped against Xie Lian’s back in a careless manner.

“Experience...”, Hua Cheng clicked his tongue, “I know how to make them.”

Xie Lian kept looking at his friend, brown eyes big and innocent.

“Really?”

“Mhm.”

People kept leaving and entering the bakery, leaving behind a fair share of noise and babble around them. Yet, as he listened to his friend’s words, Xie Lian found himself utterly unaware of the things happening around them.  

Blinking a few times, he then turned his gaze towards the baked goods again.

“Oh.”

Hua Cheng’s arm was warm behind him, the heat noticeable even though they weren’t touching.

It was even more noticeable as Hua Cheng moved his hand to rest it against Xie Lian’s waist, the gesture gentle yet firm.

The latter’s skin prickled under the steady touch.

“Gege”, a soft croon next to Xie Lian’s ear made the latter shudder quietly, “you sound awfully curious.”

Glancing to the side, Xie Lian found Hua Cheng’s silvery, scrutinizing gaze resting on his face.

Rubbing his collarbone sheepishly, Xie Lian had to look away as he mustered more confidence than he truly had.

“Ah, it’s just that..”

“Yeah?”, Hua Cheng’s voice managed to sound both barely intrigued and eager at the same time, his palm pressing firmer against Xie Lian’s midriff.

Huffing, the latter glanced down at his knees.

“It’s just that San Lang seems to know a lot about so many things”, Xie Lian tapped his fingers against the edge of the table, “and, ah, your gege does not.”

Hua Cheng kept silent, the weight of his gaze heavy.

Licking his lips, Xie Lian let his thumb slide over the smooth, wooden surface of the table, trying his best to seem unfazed.

“It’d be so neat if I could just-“, clearing his throat, Xie Lian barely avoided getting a splinter into his finger, hurriedly pulling his hand back into his lap, “if I could just have someone teach me things like that.”

There.

That was the most he’d dare imply with that thin face of his.

Hopefully his San Lang would–

“Oh?”, Hua Cheng drawled, tugging on Xie Lian’s waist so he slid closer to his friend, “who does gege have in mind?”

Mouth formed in a displeased line, Xie Lian felt his cheeks burn with embarrassment.

“San Lang doesn’t have an inkling?”

“San Lan does not.”

As he threw a dismayed side glance towards Hua Cheng, Xie Lian found his heart doing a special kind of loop.

With an elbow settled against the table and his ridiculously well-defined jaw resting in his palm, Hua Cheng drew the perfect picture of an amused and self-assured male.

With a feline, somewhat cocky smile on his lips, and the lazy twinkle of his eye, he looked like someone who had no uncertainties about the power dynamic in their conversation.

Xie Lian blinked, then smiled gently at his friend.

Very well.

If Hua Cheng was such a big fan of teasing him, then his gege would so kindly return the favor.

“And San Lang doesn’t mind the idea of someone learning his gege about such things?”

Hua Cheng’s gaze fell to Xie Lian’s throat, then moved up to his eyes again.

“San Lang thinks it sounds like a wonderful idea.”

Xie Lian’s eyes crinkled as his smile widened.

“Then I’m glad to have San Lang’s approval.”

Content with their talk, Xie Lian picked up an egg tart from one of the plates and started nibbling happily on it.

Still leaning his arm against the table, Hua Cheng didn’t move an inch, his stare still on Xie Lian.

A dark eyebrow raised in question.

“…That’s all?”

“En”, Xie Lian hummed, looking over at his friend with sparkling eyes, “that’s all.”

Sighing quietly, Hua Cheng lifted his elbow from the table.

Grabbing the seat of Xie Lian’s chair, he then pulled on it so it slid right next to his own chair.

The ease of the movement left a lingering sense of thrill inside of Xie Lian, a sense that only heightened when he noticed how close they ended up sitting.

Hua Cheng tilted his head, a patient expression on his face as his gaze dipped to Xie Lian’s throat again.

“Then pray tell, gege”, Hua Cheng crooned sweetly, “who’s lips do you want on your neck?”

Xie Lian stilled.

Heat rushed to his cheeks, to his chest, and also to–

To his–

Coughing into his fist, Xie Lian hurriedly looked away from his friend’s heavy, tantalizing stare.

“Ah, San Lang, that’s–“, another cough, “you– ah, when you phrase it like that, it really sounds very…“

“Very…?”, Hua Cheng’s lips twitched.

Flushing, Xie Lian rubbed his cheek with an embarrassed gesture.

“Very… Oh, San Lang-ah!”, letting out a huff, Xie Lian shot his friend a bashful look, “do you really have to tease your gege this much?”

“Oh, I’m afraid that I do”, Hua Cheng said smoothly, “if gege can’t handle some friendly teasing, how is he going to handle asking someone to kiss his neck?”

Xie Lian took a shuddering breath.

“Kiss?”

“Mm”, lifting a hand, Hua Cheng let his thumb graze the thin, sensitive skin at the bottom of Xie Lian’s throat, prompting a shudder to run through the man, “and not only kiss, but also bite.”

It was hard to swallow with such a dry throat, Xie Lian learned.

“And lick”, the words slipping through Hua Cheng’s lips, combined with that low, deep, soft tone of his, made Xie Lian’s skin prickle, “there’s usually a lot of licking involved.”

“Oh”, the sound was like a croak on Xie Lian’s tongue.

Hua Cheng let his fingernail gently, oh-so-gently, drag across one of Xie Lian’s collarbones, leaving goose bumps in its wake.

“So, perhaps gege would kindly forgive his San Lang for being curious about who gege would ask for such a favor?”, voice slightly rough, Hua Cheng’s words were still as smooth as ever.

Feeling somewhat breathless, Xie Lian found that there was no point in waiting any longer.

“Ah, San Lang… Would you–“

Licking his lips, the weight of Hua Cheng’s finger turned heavier against Xie Lian’s skin.

“Yes.”

🍦

They met up at Hua Cheng’s apartment later that night.

Xie Lian had made sure to change into a loose-collared shirt, leaving both his entire neck and also most of his collar bones on display. The shirt itself was one of his favorites – soft from being worn so much and tinted in a lovely dark blue, it was both pretty and comfortable.

It was also Hua Cheng’s; his friend sure was kind to lend Xie Lian so many of his shirts to wear!

“Gege”, Hua Cheng greeted, a delighted sparkle in his eye as he noticed what the other man was wearing, “I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Oh?”, kicking off his shoes, Xie Lian followed Hua Cheng into the latter’s bedroom, tilting his head curiously, “San Lang’s been waiting?”

“En”, closing the door behind them, Hua Cheng’s lips curled into half a smile, “I wasn’t sure if gege would be brave enough to go through with the lesson.”

Standing next to Hua Cheng’s bed, Xie Lian shot his friend a somewhat slighted look.

“You think so little of your gege?”

Hua Cheng sauntered over to him, as relaxed and calm as usual. He was so tall that Xie Lian had to tilt his head backwards a little bit to be able to meet his gaze.

“I do not”, Hua Cheng crooned, using a finger to guide Xie Lian’s fringe behind his ear, “I actually– ah, is gege ready to start?”

“En”, Xie Lian nodded, then blushed sweetly as a question formed on his tongue, “why are we in San Lang’s bedroom?”

Hua Cheng’s jaw clenched.

“We’ll just get disturbed by E-Ming otherwise”, he said drily, “gege knows how protective that beast is of him.”

Letting out a laugh, Xie Lian looked up at his friend with crinkled eyes.

“Like that time when we were watching a movie and I was falling asleep”, Xie Lian reminisced with fondness, “my head had barely touched your shoulder before E-Ming woke me up again! San Lang, do you remember?”

Hua Cheng’s lips tightened.

“I do.”

Grinning, Xie Lian couldn’t explain why Hua Cheng looked so displeased.

“Ah, I do see San Lang’s point, then”, rubbing his nose, Xie Lian glanced towards his friend’s bed and the clean, dark bedsheets on top of it, “I guess this is a matter that requires some concentration, and not a cat running around our legs.”

Catching Xie Lian’s gaze, Hua Cheng looked over at his bed, his expression changing from annoyed to something more… hungry.

“Gege is ready, then?”

Nodding, Xie Lian watched as Hua Cheng got onto the bed, moving until he was sitting with his back against the pillows and the headboard, his position both relaxed and inviting.

Clapping his thigh with a large hand, Hua Cheng lazily watched as Xie Lian climbed onto the bed, and then into his lap, straddling Hua Cheng’s thighs.

Heat crawled through Xie Lian’s bones as he found himself sitting closer to his friend than he’d ever done before, the feeling of Hua Cheng’s body against his unfamiliar, yet positively pleasant.

“Like this?”, he breathed, hands hovering as he was left unsure of where to put them.

Hua Cheng’s eye was dark as he gazed back at Xie Lian.

“Mm”, voice low and raspy, Hua Cheng grabbed hold of Xie Lian’s hips and tugged him even closer, leaving the latter to straddle his crotch, “a little closer. I need access to gege’s neck, after all.”

“Oh”, Xie Lian, for whatever reason, felt out of breath again, “right.”

Hua Cheng’s hands lingered on Xie Lian’s hips, tightening slightly as their owner’s eye wandered all over Xie Lian’s face and upper body, something unreadable and eager in it.

The atmosphere in the room was so heavy that Xie Lian found his heart skip a beat.

“Where do we start?”, he murmured, finally moving his own hands to settle them against Hua Cheng’s shoulders.

The latter licked his lips, his eye darting between Xie Lian’s face and his throat.

“Perhaps I should give gege a hickey just to show him what it feels like?”, Hua Cheng offered, his thumbs rubbing comfortingly against Xie Lian’s hips, “that way, gege can try to feel how San Lang is doing it.”

Xie Lian’s throat made a clicking sound as he swallowed.

“Uh-huh.”

Letting one of his hands slip to the back of Xie Lian’s neck, Hua Cheng used the grasp on Xie Lian’s hip to tug him a little closer.

“It’ll sting a little”, Hua Cheng murmured darkly, his breath warm against Xie Lian’s skin, “gege must tell me if it hurts.”

“Uh-huh”, Xie Lian was left breathless as Hua Cheng gently pushed his long, brown hair away from his neck, his body prickling with delicious nerves as his friend’s face moved even closer to his skin.

Clutching Hua Cheng’s shoulders with white-knuckled hands, his grasp probably way too firm, Xie Lian let his eyes slip shut as something soft and slightly wet grazed his collarbone.

Oh.

Hua Cheng’s lips.

Xie Lian’s breath hitched as those lips kept brushing against his skin, silky and smooth, exceedingly gentle, slowly making their way towards the bottom of his neck.

A hushed, warm puff of air brushing against him as Hua Cheng chuckled quietly.

“Gege”, he murmured, “relax.”

Strangling a whimper, Xie Lian loosened his death-grip on his friend’s shoulders, then inhaled deeply.

“Good”, Hua Cheng cooed, “it’ll feel good, gege, I promise.”

Yes, Xie Lian wanted to say, that’s what I’m scared of.

Keeping silent, he relaxed his muscles slightly, then let all of his attention wander back to the lips trailing against his skin.

Slow and gentle the entire way–

Until they reached the part where Xie Lian’s neck met his shoulder and the rest of his upper body.

The speed of Hua Cheng’s movements was unhurried as his mouth opened, the gentle brush of his lips the only warning until something exquisitely wet and hot grazed Xie Lian’s skin.

Oh.

A shudder ran through him as Hua Cheng’s tongue started familiarizing itself with the area by delivering small, gentle licks, leaving a thin trail of saliva in its wake.

The hand on his hip tightened as Xie Lian shivered once more, his head unconsciously falling to the side to bare more of his throat to Hua Cheng.

A heavy exhale against his skin let him know that his friend had noticed it.

The caress of Hua Cheng’s tongue turned a little rougher as he started lapping at the sunkissed skin, breaking it up by sometimes pressing small, soft kisses to the spit-damp area. Xie Lian could feel the hint of sharp teeth when Hua Cheng’s tongue darted out to taste him, providing a sweet reminder of what they were there to do.     

Letting out a shaky breath, Xie Lian’s fingers and toes curled as Hua Cheng stopped moving his mouth, instead letting his lips rest against the sensitive skin right above Xie Lian’s collarbone, just where it blended into his neck.

The grip around Xie Lian’s hips tightened.

Then, oh so slow and gently, the edges of Hua Cheng’s teeth pressed into his skin.

And Hua Cheng started sucking.

“Oh”, Xie Lian breathed, eyes fluttering half-open as his skin started prickling.

It was a strange, tingling sensation to have someone suck a mark into his skin. He could feel the suction created by Hua Cheng’s lips, but also the somewhat stinging feeling of blood vessels breaking underneath that mouth.

The worst part was–

Xie Lian strangled a moan.

It felt good.

As the pressure against his neck eased up, Hua Cheng started delivering languid licks to the newly-formed bruise on Xie Lian’s skin, prompting a spark to shoot up the latter’s spine.

“Oh”, Xie Lian whimpered again, clutching onto his friend, “oh, San Lang, that was… That was…”

Hua Cheng’s fingers twitched around his waist.

“…Good?”, Hua Cheng murmured against his collarbone, voice low and deep and rough.

Xie Lian licked his lips.

“Uh huh.”

Pulling his head back a little, a dark eye narrowed as Hua Cheng scrutinized the remains of his bite. Moving the hand he’d been resting behind Xie Lian’s neck, he used his thumb to graze the bruised skin.

A shudder ripped through Xie Lian, and Hua Cheng’s gaze snapped to his face instead.  

“It’s–“, aware of how red his cheeks certainly were, Xie Lian avoided his friend’s stare, “ah, it’s… sensitive.”

Hua Cheng’s lips twitched.

“Mm”, his murmur was so low that Xie Lian almost missed it, “does gege now understand how to give someone a hickey?”

The hand that had been pushing Xie Lian’s hair away slipped down to rub the outside of his upper thigh, thumb soothingly massaging circles into his skin.

“…Or does gege need another demonstration?”, Hua Cheng’s eye darkened as he spoke, glancing between Xie Lian’s dazed expression and his neck.

“En”, Xie Lian immediately agreed, his voice still breathy and somewhat stunned, “won’t San Lang show his gege one more tim–“

Hua Cheng’s hold on his waist and thigh tightened, his eye sparkling dangerously.

“Of course, gege”, he crooned, then slid his hand back up into Xie Lian’s hair.

Still clutching onto Hua Cheng’s shoulders, Xie Lian instinctively arched his neck again, making it easier for his friend’s lips to find his skin.

A quiet groan left Hua Cheng’s mouth.

“The other side this time, gege”, he drawled huskily, “I’ll show you a spot that feels real good.”

With his palm lying flat against the back of Xie Lian’s neck, Hua Cheng guided his head to tilt the other way, his thumb resting right below Xie Lian’s earlobe. The latter was now angling his head towards his right shoulder, the left side of him open and bare for Hua Cheng to do as he pleased with.

Letting his San Lang take control over the situation and tell Xie Lian what to do…

Xie Lian found that he didn’t mind at all.

“There”, Hua Cheng murmured, “gege is ready?”

Nodding weakly, Xie Lian’s eyes fluttered closed once more and he braced himself.

His veins were already thrumming with excitement, a pleasant thrill sending sparks through his nerves. Anticipation, he realized.

He could feel Hua Cheng moving closer, the warmth of his breath brushing against Xie Lian’s throat.

Shivering, Xie Lian’s lips opened slightly to suck in a sharp breath.

Hua Cheng’s thumb skimmed down to rest against the bottom of Xie Lian’s neck, soothingly caressing the skin, probably feeling the rapid pulse beating underneath it.

A low chuckle left his lips.

Then, Hua Cheng tilted Xie Lian’s head even more and licked a broad, wet tongue against the thin skin right beneath his jaw.

Eyebrows arching at the sensation, Xie Lian let out a low moan as Hua Cheng started kissing and licking his neck with fervency, lewd and wet noises sending shivers down his spine.

Breathing out heavily through his nose, Hua Cheng tugged Xie Lian even closer, prompting the latter to rest his entire body against Hua Cheng’s.

“Oh-“, Xie Lian breathed, whining slightly, “oh-!”

Because–

Because he just realized that both of them were–

Hua Cheng’s teeth grazed Xie Lian’s skin as he latched onto him and started sucking, the sensation making Xie Lian grind his achingly hard cock down.

Down against the iron-hard, thick bulge in Hua Cheng’s jeans.

Groaning in the back of his throat, Hua Cheng’s hand against Xie Lian’s waist urged his hips to move faster, harder, to properly rub their clothed erections together.

And it felt so good.

It felt so mind-meltingly, delightfully, fucking good.

“San Lang”, Xie Lian moaned into the air, grinding down onto his friend’s lap with shuddering movements, already desperate to gain more of that delicious friction.

“Mmh”, Hua Cheng moaned against his neck, still sucking on Xie Lian’s skin, prompting goosebumps to pop up.

Panting hard, Xie Lian let his own hands slip from Hua Cheng’s broad shoulders to his nape, curling his fingers into his friend’s dark hair.

“San Lang, San Lang”, moaning and whining at the same time, Xie Lian could feel precome leak into his pants as his hip movements turned frantic, “feels good, oh… Really, really– ohh!”

Hua Cheng’s brows furrowed, and then he let go of Xie Lian’s neck, strings of spit breaking as he pulled away.

“Gege”, his voice was rough with arousal, “fuck, that’s–“, he groaned as Xie Lian rubbed their crotches together, “getting love bites turns you on, huh?”

Whimpering, Xie Lian could feel his neck throb under the phantom touch of Hua Cheng’s lips.

“Uh huh”, breathing hard, he moved his hips even faster, “ah, San Lang, I really, really liked it-“

Letting out a deep hiss, Hua Cheng moved both of his hands to grab Xie Lian’s ass, lifting his hips to grind back against the other man.

“Then, gege”, he crooned darkly, “won’t you show your San Lang what you’ve learnt?”

Blinking his eyes open, Xie Lian struggled to focus for a moment before looking at his friend.

His breath hitched.

Hua Cheng’s gaze was so dark, so fierce, so hungry as he stared at Xie Lian, his lips red and wet after having feasted on Xie Lian’s skin.

The way he was staring at Xie Lian reminded the latter of a starving wolf stumbling upon a weak, defenseless sheep.

It made Xie Lian’s blood feel like it was set ablaze.  

“Oh”, half-lidded, brown eyes shifted to look at Hua Cheng’s strong, naked throat, “San Lang wants me to–“, an especially deep grind of their hips made him groan, “wants me to suck on his neck?”

Dark amusement glinted in Hua Cheng’s eye.

“Amongst other things”, he murmured, moving a hand to cup Xie Lian’s cheek, his thumb tugging his lower lip open, “hey gege, won’t you show your San Lang what that pretty mouth of yours can do?”

Although he was uncertain why, the phrasing made Xie Lian’s hips stutter and his cock leak, a whine forcing itself out of his throat.

“I–“, swallowing hard, Xie Lian nodded, “your gege will try his best.”

Hua Cheng’s lips curled with satisfaction as he used both hands to snuggly grab Xie Lian’s ass once more, squeezing the plush skin through the fabric.

“Then this San Lang can’t wait for gege to start”, grinding their bulges together, Hua Cheng let out a low, deep chuckle, “your San Lang is an impatient and greedy man, after all. Pray gege will take pity on him.”

A breath of air left Xie Lian’s lips, and then he moved his head forward, pressing his lips against Hua Cheng’s throat. It was quite close to the same spot where Hua Cheng had left a mark on his skin, just right beneath the earlobe.

Humming darkly, Hua Cheng kept his thrusts smooth and slow as he gave Xie Lian the time to figure things out.

The latter slowly let his lips part, pressing a soft and open-mouthed kiss to Hua Cheng’s skin.

“Mm”, Hua Cheng groaned, “right there, gege.”

The small encouragement filled Xie Lian with resoluteness, and he let his mouth open even wider, this time letting the softness of his tongue graze Hua Cheng’s neck.

Hissing gently, Hua Cheng’s cock twitched against Xie Lian’s bulge. It was easy to notice, considering the size of the length between Hua Cheng’s thighs.

“Yeah”, he breathed, “I love that tongue of yours, gege, keep going.”

Emboldened, Xie Lian tilted his head slightly and let his tongue brush firmer against Hua Cheng’s neck, thoroughly licking and tasting him this time.

The way Hua Cheng moaned underneath him told him that he was doing something right.

Delighted, Xie Lian opened his mouth wide and started licking and kissing his friend’s skin with passion, a sweet thrill running through him as Hua Cheng’s exhales kept getting heavier.

“Mm, San Lang”, Xie Lian breathed, lips grazing the moist, pinkened area he’d been kissing, “you taste really good.”

A deep groan escaped Hua Cheng’s chest, and his grasp on Xie Lian’s ass tightened as he thrusted up against him.

“I’m all for gege to enjoy”, he murmured huskily, “keep tasting me as much as you’d like.”

Humming thoughtfully, Xie Lian delivered another few slow, wet licks to Hua Cheng’s neck.

“It makes your gege wonder if other parts of San Lang taste just as good”, mumbling absentmindedly, Xie Lian doesn’t think about the words he’d uttered until Hua Cheng let out a guttural moan into his ear.

“Gege”, Hua Cheng cursed, “fuck, you’re gonna make me come in my pants.”

Feeling his own cock leaking even harder, Xie Lian realized that he was not far from doing so himself.

“Uh huh”, he breathed, then opened his mouth even further and pressed his teeth against Hua Cheng’s skin, trying to imitate the way his friend had done it.

“There”, still panting and working their hips together, Hua Cheng let out an appreciative sound, “now suck.”

Closing his eyes, Xie Lian’s eyebrows furrowed in concentration as he pressed his mouth harder against Hua Cheng’s neck.

Then he started sucking.

The moan leaving Hua Cheng’s throat sent a shiver through him, the heavy buckle of Hua Cheng’s hips making him hold onto his friend’s nape for balance.

“Yesss”, the ‘s’ got dragged out as Hua Cheng hissed with reverence, “like that, fuck, yes, gege-”

Dark moans kept slipping out of Hua Cheng’s mouth and right into Xie Lian’s ear, only getting louder as Xie Lian sucked even harder.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck”, Hua Cheng ground their hips together hard, “right there, yeah, fuck!”

A large hand came to cover the back of Xie Lian’s head, pressing his mouth even closer to Hua Cheng’s neck.

“Mark me up, gege, just like that”, the raspiness of Hua Cheng’s voice had Xie Lian’s hips stuttering, “shit, leave more marks if you want to– ahh, fuck!”

The keen feedback from his friend left Xie Lian’s head feeling all floaty and dazed, his body high on the rush of tasting, of kissing, of sucking on his San Lang.

He’d always wondered what his lips would taste like, though he had to say that his neck was a mighty fine alternative.

Finally letting up, Xie Lian barely glanced at the dark purple bruise he’d left before slipping down to mark the bottom of Hua Cheng’s throat as well.

“Yeah”, Hua Cheng’s eye was half-lidded now, his mouth open and panting as he thrusted against Xie Lian’s cock, “keep going, gege–“

The significant length in his jeans twitched again.

“…’m getting close.”

Just the thought of coming with Hua Cheng – with his San Lang! – made Xie Lian realize that he was approaching that heavenly edge as well.

“Mhm”, he groaned against Hua Cheng’s broad, strong throat, sucking for a little longer before pulling away, “San Lang, I’m–“

A throaty moan from his own lips cut him off, and his focus shifted towards rubbing his hips against Hua Cheng’s, his cock throbbing.

“Mm”, Hua Cheng breathed, “me too.”

Letting up the pressure behind Xie Lian’s head, he allowed the brunette to lean back far enough to allow their gazes to meet.  

Xie Lian took in Hua Cheng’s bruised neck, his spit-gleaming lips, the light flush covering his cheeks.

His friend looked right back at him, staring heavily at Xie Lian’s red, swollen lips.

“Ah, San Lang”, Xie Lian murmured, eyes flickering between Hua Cheng’s eye and his lips, “there’s another thing you could teach your gege.”

He could see Hua Cheng’s throat move as he swallowed.

“Oh?”, Hua Cheng’s voice was hoarse, “pray tell, gege.”

Xie Lian didn’t need to tell Hua Cheng anything. Instead, he simply glanced down at his friend’s mouth and leaned a little closer.

That was the neat thing about their friendship. They didn’t necessarily need words to understand each other.

A flicker of hunger flashed across Hua Cheng’s features.

Then his fingers buried themselves in Xie Lian’s thick, disheveled hair, and he pulled him down to fit their lips together in a deep, sloppy, impatient kiss.

Xie Lian moaned into the embrace, the feeling of Hua Cheng’s tongue against his so–

So–

So fucking good.

It was so soft, so warm, so clever as it licked its way into Xie Lian’s mouth, greedily familiarizing itself with the latter’s teeth and tongue.

Hua Cheng tensed up, snarling softly into the kiss as he pushed their hips even harder together, the grinding turning frantic and desperate.

“Gege”, he groaned with an edge in his voice, “fuck–“

Whimpering, Xie Lian met every thrust from Hua Cheng with eagerness, arms still tightly wound around his friend’s neck.

“San Lang-ah”, choking on another moan, Xie Lian pulled their lips an inch apart and gazed at Hua Cheng, brown eyes half-lidded with pleasure, “I’m really, really– ohh-!”

The hand Hua Cheng had been resting on his hip slipped around Xie Lian’s waist instead, pulling their bodies impossibly close together.

“Give me one more, gege”, Hua Cheng panted, strong neck tilting to the side once again, “let me feel your teeth once more.”

Always happy to please his friend, Xie Lian nodded shakily and latched onto Hua Cheng’s throat again, finding an untouched area.

As his cheeks hollowed out and he started sucking, a violent shudder rushed through Hua Cheng, his thighs tensing up underneath Xie Lian.

“Yeah”, Hua Cheng murmured huskily, “that’s good, shit, that’s so fucking good–“

Thrusting his hips upwards, he moaned heavily into Xie Lian’s ear and gritted out through his teeth;

“Fuck, you’re gonna make me come, gege–“

Almost too out of it to pay any attention to Hua Cheng’s words, Xie Lian merely continued sucking happily on his friend’s neck, fixated on the way their cocks kept pushing together just right. The grinding was rough and irregular and desperate, but it was so, so good, Xie Lian’s spine tingling with heat and pleasure and excitement.

Hua Cheng’s fingers tightened around his waist, a guttural moan leaving his lips–

And Xie Lian was pushed head-first over that delicious edge.

Back arching and eyes snapping shut, Xie Lian came harder than he ever had before, spilling gush after gush of come into his pants, heaving for breath as the orgasm set his nerves alight.

“There we go”, Hua Cheng grunted, his cock twitching as he kept working their groins together, “fuck, you sound so fucking sweet.”

Xie Lian wasn’t even aware of how loudly and how lewdly he was moaning until Hua Cheng let out a quiet, deep groan of his own, eyebrows furrowed as he came.

Whining pathetically, Xie Lian needily pushed their mouths back together, Hua Cheng immediately licking his way in-between his lips, swallowing every moan of Xie Lian’s.  

Their hips soon started to slow down as exhaustion settled in, their pants sticky and messy with loads upon loads of come. Xie Lian’s cock kept twitching with oversensitivity as Hua Cheng seemed inclined to drag their orgasms out for as long as possible, that massive cock of his still leaking heavily into his jeans.

Moaning weakly into their kiss, Xie Lian let his forehead fall forwards to lean against Hua Cheng’s.

“S’ Lang”, he murmured hoarsely, exhaustion and a sore mouth leaving his words slurred, “that was… That was… O-oh.”

The corners of Hua Cheng’s mouth twitched.

“Did gege like it?”, satisfaction and post-orgasm serenity made it sound like he was purring, “you came so much.”

Too drained to do anything but to gently blush, Xie Lian opened his eyes and met Hua Cheng’s warm, attentive stare.

“En”, he hummed quietly, then let a soft smile curve his lips, “San Lang is so knowledgeable. Your gege is truly lucky to have a friend who can teach him so many things.”

Letting out a huff, Hua Cheng tilted his head and licked his way into Xie Lian’s mouth once more.
