[Huaisang reaches for Chris as soon as he's free, winding his arms around his lover and hugging close. Chris' magic always surprises him a little. He's not used to magic being so easy, so convenient. Even for a prodigy like Wei Wuxian, with his dozens of little tricks, it wasn't so simple as just letting one's will ease a targeted spot of ache or tension.
He nuzzles at Chris, responding with just a soft little whimper as he clings. His emotions are a whirl now, aching with vulnerability. Chris had given him what he'd asked for, and Huaisang is undone by it, helpless and unraveled, and it feels so hard to believe in Chris' sweet words, to believe that he'll really stay and that he's choosing to make Huaisang an important person in his life.]
[His lack of response tells him he needs to go slow, to ease his companion up from the emotions he's fallen into, wherever his head is now.
Chris pulls from Huaisang's body and curls about his side instead, to keep his lover close and press small kisses to any part of his skin within easy reach. Chris' fingers stroke gently through that pretty black hair he admires and moves more carefully when he finds small tangles in the strands.]
I've got you...I swear it. You're safe...I'm not going anywhere.
[Not until his friend was back to rights with himself, anyway.]
[Huaisang nestles back into his arms, grateful for it. His breathing eases and his body relaxes as Chris holds him. Even though the promises were still a little hard to believe, they were sweet and caring, and Huaisang wanted to trust to the affection if not the promises themselves.
He keeps quiet, nestling back against him and just appreciating the care and warmth for as long as it lasts, not wanting to do or say anything that might hurry that along.]
