That sounds wonderful. Let's go out. Is A-Yang coming with us? [Having Xue Yang along seems fairly obvious. Though Huaisang accepts that Xingchen loves him, he still finds it hard to imagine that Xingchen would want to spend time with him alone.]
[ Xingchen opens the door and manages to catch his lover with a soft little laugh that is happily swallowed by the kiss. He holds him just a little closer for a moment before pulling back to rest their foreheads together briefly.
But first, he tugs Huaisang in and closes the door, leading the way to the couch to pick a place to eat. ]
How interested in experimenting with new flavors are you tonight?
[Glowing with happiness as he's caught and held and kissed, Huaisang gazes at him with open adoration while Xingchen takes care of the practicalities of leading him in and shutting the door.
As they reach the couch, he immediately takes over Xingchen's lap, snuggling close.] Very interested. All the experimentation. [He nips sweetly at Xingchen's ear. He's not just thinking about food experimentation.]
[ Huaisang's joy at just seeing him warms him. Xingchen immediately curls his arms around his lover when he sits, making sure Huaisang is in no danger of slipping off and falling. And blushes at the nipping that makes him shiver.
But he only smiles and turns his head to catch his lover's lips in a sweet kiss. ]
[Huaisang is delighted. Xue Yang must have taught him about such things.
He looks over the list with interest. He's tried a few of these things, but there are just so many options. Each restaurant has dozens of foods available. So many unusual and wonderful new experiences to try.] Did you have any in particular you were wondering about, or should we just pick one at random? I don't know what half these words mean.
Xingchen smiles against Huaisang's neck but rests his cheek on his shoulder as he lets his lover look over the list. He loves the closeness his lovers welcome. ]
How about we pick one at random? Will you order for me when we're there?
Yes, of course. [He still doesn't understand why Xingchen is so determined to continue pretending like he's blind in public. If anything, Huaisang would understand keeping up such an illusion toward Xue Yang, considering Xue Yang's involvement in the subject, but why Xingchen allows Xue Yang to know it but continues pretending around strangers is a complete mystery to Huaisang. But he doesn't need to understand it in order to support Xingchen's choice.]
Let's go to this one. It serves "waffles" and "burgers". [Whatever those are.]
He laughs at the innocent question and doesn't bother resisting stealing a soft kiss. ]
I love you.
[ Xingchen kisses him again before adjusting his hold on his lover, then stands. He carries him over to the table where he's started leaving his blindfold. ]
I love you too, A-Chen. [Huaisang returns the kisses happily, making a purring noise of pleasure as he's picked up. He never gets tired of being carried around by his powerful lovers.]
Yes, Daozhang. [Picking up the blindfold, he very gently ties it in place, adjusting the blindfold and making sure that it's comfortably snug and doesn't muss Xingchen's hair.]
[ Another kiss at the obedient and gentle placement of his blindfold. Xingchen doesn't believe he'll ever get tired of kissing his lovers. He starts for the door, trusting Huaisang to open it for them, then close it after as he turns and lock it. Down the elevator they go, he holds his lover just a little tighter along the way.
And he trusts his lover to warn him if he's about to walk when he shouldn't. At least the chosen restaurant isn't far, but he shows no signs of tiring by the time they reach it and are quickly seated. Only then does he move to set Huaisang down, though he won't be at all surprised if the other simply crawls right back into his lap. ]
[Huaisang hugs tight to him, kicking his legs very slightly as he enjoys being carried around. While they're still in the building, he distracts them both with sweetly kissing along Xingchen's jawline. Once they're outside, he pays more attention.
Curling a hand around the back of Xingchen's neck, Huaisang watches their route attentively, making sure they're heading in the right direction and that they won't walk into anyone. His gentle hand nudges very slightly now and then, thumb pressing against one side of his neck, fingers pressing against the other, in order to steer Xingchen ever so gently. He tests it while they've got a clear area to walk in, making sure that his directions are clear and that he knows how Xingchen will respond. It's very nearly the same game he taught him at orientation, learning to follow Huaisang's lead without needing a word of instruction.
Once they're seated, he curls close against Xingchen's side in the booth, hooking his knees over Xingchen's thigh the way he likes to do.
Considering the menu, he orders boozy milkshakes for them both, along with a variety of the available dishes. A burger, a waffle, and a skillet scramble. He doesn't know what any of the thing are, but he's enthusiastic about trying new experiences.]
[ His lover's joy at being carried is adorable and has Xingchen smiling fondly. He happily enjoys the kisses to his jaw, leaning on the distraction as the elevator moves.
And he remembers the lesson from orientation on how he can be lead by one who appears to be helpless. Xingchen trustingly follows the slight signals, proving his attention is on his lover.
When they're seated and Huaisang has decided how to sit, Xingchen curls an arm around his waist to welcome him close, free hand resting on one of his lover's knees so Huaisang is secure without being confined. ]
I am. [Huaisang's smile is audible in the warmth of his voice. He kisses Xingchen's cheek, resting his arms lightly on Xingchen's chest and studying him from up close. He wishes that he could see Xingchen's eyes and that Xingchen could see his expression, but Huaisang also likes being the trusted keeper of secrets. Knowing that Xingchen can see and he's one of only two who are allowed to see him like that is a unique thrill.]
You make me happy. Your sweetness and trust make me feel so safe and loved and valued.
[ The answer and smile in that beloved voice has him smile back and he turns his head just enough to nudge their noses together. Hearing he makes someone happy soothes some of the pain of his soul. Xingchen raises the hand from Huaisang's knee to cup his lover's cheek. ]
[Xingchen's smile never fails to set off butterflies in his chest. That genuine sweet affection is just impossible to resist. Huaisang's cheek warms with his blush, and he turns to kiss Xingchen's palm.] I am, too. Being spoiled by a couple of gorgeous men all day is much better than having to run a sect.

Re: [voice]
I would love that. Did you have anywhere in particular in mind?
[ Cooking doesn’t occur to him as an option. He’s never cooked a day in his life. ]
no subject
I found a listing of restaurants. We could pick one to try, or have them...ah...deliver? If you would prefer to eat in one of our apartments.
[ Mostly he wants to spend time with just Huaisang. He's done the same with Xue Yang on multiple occasions. But he loves Huaisang too. ]

I probably have to get out of your lap, don't I? [Huaisang sighs at this unendurable trial and does not yet move.]
no subject
Xingchen can't help but laugh at the sigh, but also makes no move to immediately dislodge him. Instead he presses a kiss to just under his jaw. ]
You do make it a challenge to stand, A-Sang. I could carry you there, I suppose, but it would have people talking.
