I honestly wish I could say I'm still here but the dash gave me so little action that even I kind of gave up, Minami is still a muse I have, and is still very much loved, but I've basically just shuffled off to a new fandom

I might come back to do like... the one draft I have but I dunno, if anyone wants my new blog just lemme know an I'll direct you over there but like.... I can't stay on such a dead dash it's killing my creativity.

“Not that I don’t love fans, but… it’s not exactly easy to practice when you’ve got people following you around the rink. Trust me, we’ve been there.”

After their kiss ended, Yuri kept close, as close as he could without really kissing Minami again, his sea green eyes closed for now, letting himself enjoy the moment. The new rush of feelings he had was a bit overwhelming for him, considering he was used to only having a few things to worry about, mainly his career and his grandfather. 

Despite still being inside the hotel room with his boyfriend, he couldn’t help the excitement that came with the idea of a trip to the other’s hometown, a small vacation of sorts from his coach and choreographer, and to have this beautiful man wake up beside him again and again. He felt a little silly though, so he said nothing about it. 

The topic of dinner pulled him from his small fantasy, and landed a frown back on his face before a sigh joined it as Yuri pulled back and turned his gaze toward the door again. “I mean… if you really want to, but I doubt there’s going to be anything nice said there. If anything I’m in for a good hour and a half of being told off on everything we did wrong.” He sighed and turned to look at Minami, the caramel eyes that met him giving him a little more courage to go through with it all. “Plus I doubt they’ll even let me have dessert anymore.”

“Mmmm---Maybe” Minami hummed, leaning down to place another gentle peck to Yuri’s lips, and another, he was so close to Yuri, why wouldn’t he take advantage of their closeness to steal more and more of those spectacularly addictive kisses? “Maybe they’ll be harsh, they’re adults, they’re trying to do what’s best for you right?” He settled himself down to nuzzle his face into the crook of Yuri’s neck, placing soft little kisses there because he honestly could not get enough of being able to do this now.

He had a boyfriend, a beautiful, stunning, fierce, edgy, creative and insanely talented boyfriend, why shouldn’t he continue showering him with affection?

“They’ll probably be right in what they say though even if it feels like crap when they say it, we did something dumb, we can admit to that and hopefully it’ll make them be less harsh about it, we’re not arguing, not saying it wasn’t dumb and reckless, we weren’t safe and we were drunk, it was… pretty dumb” he wouldn’t lie, lifting himself back up to look down at the other boy, only warmth radiating from his small smile and bright caramel eyes “but we’re owning up to it, being mature about it, they can’t fault us for that” as long as Yuri doesn’t throw a temper tantrum worthy of a five year old who’d just broken his favourite toy, all should go well, in Minami’s hopeful mind anyway, he hoped they’d be proud of how mature Yuri would be dealing with it given how… close to the surface his temper tended to boil.  

“Pfft it’s okay” he hummed, leaning down to press one more kiss to Yuri’s cheek “I’ll be right there and they cant stop me from getting dessert, my coach doesn’t even bother trying to stop me now so they sure as sugar cant, you can share mine, we’ll be one of those couples that share desserts, it’ll be great” he’d be right there, in other words: supporting him, no matter what Yakov or Lilia did, he’d be there, his confidence was at an all time high at the moment, not a single thing could bring him down, not even the harsh, judgemental stares of two of the scariest people in the business, Yuri’s coach and his choreographer. Honestly why were Russians so intimidating?

“If we onlylive once, I wanna live with you” face partially shielded by anincredibly excitable puppy doing his very best impression of a flailing fish,fluff sticking up in all directions hiding the soft flush decorating Minami’scheeks, this was his way of asking his long term better half to move in withhim, get a dog, give Guanghong the dog, make sure he knew the dog could onlystay in that house, so he had to also stay. Flawless plan right there.

He wanted more than anything for Guanghong to move across anocean, into a completely different country, into a house they’d made a home between Guanghong’s various visits, and thefirst step to doing that had to beget a dog. And woo him with out of context song lyrics apparently.

@hypemanminami liked for a starter:

She gazed down at him lovingly as he finally emerged from slumber, travelling back and forth causing some serious jet lag for the pair of them. Marinette didn’t mind, receiving a personal invitation to watch Minami during one of his biggest competitions could NOT be declined, even if he did already buy tickets that left her with no choice.

Her nugget was just sneaky like that.

“Tired…?”

Flying 5+ hours anywhere on a regular basis was pretty average for a figure skaters life, planes were like second homes to them, always zipping too and from some random country to participate in a competition or visit friends made at competitions, or hell, moving to a different country to train with a better coach, travelling was just one of the average every day aspects of the profession, however… Minami still couldn’t be 100% straight after flying 10+ hours, he’d needed at the very least a 4 hour nap once he’d landed in Paris a few days earlier than a competition not far from the main city, and thankfully the stunning young lady he’d be staying with for those few earlier days didn’t seem to mind.

In fact it was thanks her beautiful face that he happened to wake up to that he was in the best mood when he awoke, a warm, sleepy grin growing on his lips before he snagged her, arms wrapping around her lithe frame and pulling her down onto the bed to snuggle with him. 

“Mmmhmmm” he hummed “was so tired, I never got my cuddles when I landed, I demand cuddle time!”

i kno i already have a royalty au verse for guanghong but i got to thinking….what about a royalty au where guanghong actually is royalty (since hes just a royal guard in the other one)!! and then i just went ham on the design bc i rly like the outfits from the empress of china and got inspired lol,,

idk if ill develop an actual verse for this but!! heres one (1) stupidly detailed drawing + one dumb comic kinda related to @hypemanminami  ’s royalty au too >:3c 

[hypemanminami-blog]

huaxiangs:

“let’s see how this goes first. if you manage to teach me how to swim, you’ll have my blessing to get into coaching.” they may be talking about two very different sports, but being able to teach and guide someone was a constant needed in any kind of coaching. they haven’t gotten into the actual teaching part just yet, but somehow, guanghong knows minami would make a great coach. he wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up on that path after retiring from figure skating. 

guanghong’s smile widens as he holds onto minami’s hand, the water feeling comfortable against his skin. any other day, he would be satisfied with just this, splashing around in the water an entire day, staying where his feet were still firmly on the sand– but today, they’re on a special mission. 

“i’m confident!” he answers without hesitation as they continue walking, the water level slowly climbing up. with both of them being so short, it doesn’t take long before the water is near chest level, and though that makes guanghong feel the slightest bit less confident, he’s no less determined. 

“Pfft, Teaching someone how to swim is childs play, I’ve helped tons of kids learn how to swim!” He was just a helper by nature, he liked to help people, and whenever he noticed parents trying to help their kids to swim, he’d always offer at least a little assistance, sometimes kids responded better to someone closer to their age, or at least looked like they were closer in age. It always made him feel just a little bit special when they recognised him though, he’d been televised a few times in competitions so of course some people would recognise him but it always made him feel extra special when they did.

“Yes, good, confidence is KEY to success!!” he cheered, stopping at a depth where he could still comfortably touch the bottom, the water just about reaching his chest, waves making it a little hard to stand up straight but he’d be fine, and so would Guanghong with his floaties.

“Okay, so do you know how to tread water?” first things first, treading water was important, it’d help him actually get to the floating position if he needed it, plus it’d always help him stay afloat with little to no physical exertion. “Just move your arms a little in slow back and forth motions, slow and steady, don’t worry about your legs for now just try treading water, like this!” he started doing it himself, lifting his legs from the sandy floor to slowly start treading water, staying upright as he did “you have an advantage with your floaties so we’ll use that to get you used to it”

 romantic headcanons

name : Minami Kenjirou

nickname : Mimi, Kenji (only Guanghong can call him this),

gender : male

romantic orientation : Pansexual

sexual orientation : Pansexual

preferred pet names :  Jiroushka (only Yuri can call him that),

relationship status : In main verse he’s happily taken :D (other verses can vary)

opinion on true love : He’ll believe in it when it’s happened to him, for the most part he’s slightly cynical about things like ‘true love’ and ‘love at first sight’ because he’s had a lot of disappointments with relationships and crushes, he’s v attached and happy with the lil shit he’s with though.  

opinion on love at first sight : eehh he’ll let others believe in it but he’s not 100% on it, much like the one true love thing he’ll never try and dissuade others from believing in it though, v supportive boi.

how ‘romantic’ are they? : extremely, he likes planning huge surprises for his loved ones, be it long vacations, day trips, nights out, or learning how to make their favourite meals specifically so he can surprise them with a big, romantic home cooked meal (complete with candles and music), of course he’ll forget how to do it really quickly because a good cook he is not but for the night, he’ll have it all worked out and ready to go to really wow the person he loves. He’s a huge fan of romance, just give him a partner and let him run wild, you’d never feel more loved than you would with Minami.   

ideal physical traits : Taller than him ideally, he does lean a little more towards male than he does female (but females are def not off the table he’s v flexible and girls are cute as hell) but he prefers big strong arms that can pick him up, that is ideal. He’s also a huge fan of freckles, doesn’t know what it is about them, maybe it’s because they make a person just that little bit extra unique cause each freckle is unlike the next and nobody ever has them in the exact same place, he just loves freckles.

ideal personality traits : fiery, passionate, loving, competitive, fun and creative

unattractive physical traits : bad personal hygiene will put him right off but other than that he’s cool with most stuff.

unattractive personality traits : bullies.

ideal date : a day out somewhere he hasn’t been before or a movie night at home with popcorn and snacks just snuggling in bed sounds delightful to him.

do they have a type? : Not really? The only common thing between all of his crushes/relationships is that they have freckles. They all have freckles, it’s nuts. (Dasvidanyafuckers Yuri has v faint freckles across his nose and Minami loves each and every one of them)

average relationship length : Oh he’s in it for the long haul, unless he sees no real future in a relationship or if they break up with him, he will work at it forever if he can, he’s not about to start dating someone to pass the time, if he’s dating you he sees a future with you.  

commitment level : see the previous answer, he’s 100% down for commitment, not one for the one night stand thing.

opinion of public affection : oh he always feels just a little sad when his partners don’t do PDA because even though he knows it’s probably not true it always makes him feel like they’re embarrassed to be seen with him? But he’ll respect it if they don’t want to, he wont force them to do it, just might… seem a bit sad. On the flip side however he always feels a bit uncomfortable when he’s witnessing someone else do it…

past relationships? : depends on the verse, (Vampy has some previous relationships that I haven’t really gone very far into just yet) but most of them he’s not had any previous relationships.

huaxiangs:

having such a small house meant that it was easy to carry a conversation even across different rooms. guanghong simply listened to minami as he got to work on breakfast, making sure to prepare naonao’s meal first so that she would leave him alone long enough for him to focus on his own food. 

given how well-rested he feels now after only one night’s sleep, guanghong is surprised to hear that people usually slept for days, but he’s even more surprised to hear minami offering to help him with the herbs– though perhaps guanghong should have expected it, given that minami had offered to help with training him too. obviously minami is ready to help guanghong with almost anything, he shouldn’t be surprised by the offers anymore, but that doesn’t mean he’ll appreciate it any less. the last person who had helped him out with anything related to potion making had been his grandmother, and that had been ages ago. “i wouldn’t mind some help,” he answers, the smile obvious in his voice as well. “i don’t need that much from the forest right now, i mostly just have to prepare those herbs by the window there.”

with naonao’s food taken care of, he begins focusing on his own meal, grabbing the fruits that looked like they were less than a day away from going bad. some porridge with fruits and a cup of tea seemed like a suitable breakfast. he would definitely have to go into town soon to get more food though.

“mocha… that’s a nice name,” guanghong hums, trying to imagine what minami must have been like during his early years of being a vampire. admittedly, it’s a bit hard to imagine anything with his limited knowledge on vampires, but given that minami had needed help staying grounded, guanghong can assume it had been a difficult time– which makes sense. going from being human to… feeding off of them can’t be easy. guanghong’s curious, but it seems like a personal topic and he doesn’t wish to overstep any boundaries. 

“good thing you don’t mind, because you’re definitely going to have to get used to her if you’re going to stay here,” guanghong looks over at naonao with a smile, the cat happily munching on her food. “she’s not even my cat technically… i just found her in the woods a long time ago, she was pretty injured so i tried to help her. once she was healed up, i let her go but she kept coming back. sometimes she’s away for an entire week, but she always comes back.”

Usually Minami didn’t move this slowly, often zipping around the room as fast as his superior speed would allow him, but right now he had no need to zip around, no need to be quick on his feet, he could simply go at a normal, every day pace, normal for everyone else, slow for him. Rising from where he’d been lounging to join Guanghong in the kitchen, Minami stretched once again as he entered, arms rising up high above his head, knuckles cracking as he flexed them before they were buried into his hair, giving it that morning floof that had it looking extra soft in the mornings.

“Just tell me what to do and I should be able to help, I’m a quick study” intelligent, fast, strong, a triple threat, usually predators took only two of those traits, you could be fast and strong, but have a brain the size of a pea, you could be intelligent and fast but not all that strong, intelligent and strong, but rival only a snail in speed.

Rarely would you get a beast that held all three predatorial traits. “I read that book, the big one on herbalism? All the notes in there were really informative, was that you who wrote all that in there?” a good way to answer his unanswered question the night before, had Guanghong wrote it all or had this mysterious grandparent scribbled down those notes, and if she had, were there more books on his shelves with detailed notes scribbled within.

“Mmmm thank you, she seemed to like it too” never once complaining about her name, even after he turned when he could pick up the subtle differences in her noises, when she was happy or sad, content or disgruntled, couldn’t speak her language but could certainly understand it to a certain degree. “Y’know I think that’s pretty common though, cats choosing their owners rather than owners choosing their cats, I believe she probably deems this more her home than anywhere else” he gave the feline a gentle scratch behind her ear, smiling as she lifted her head just a little to meet the gentle scratches with incredibly careful fingernails “she comes back… that should be all you need as proof that this is her home in her mind” could be one of many homes she had, but it was home, safe… a place she could always find comfort and food. 

“Are there any other friendly wild animals in your life that I should be aware of? Or is it just Naonao?” He wasn’t going to wake up to find a giant puppy in the front room at some point was he?

[hypemanminami-blog]

huaxiangs:

“you’ve owned a cat?” maybe it made sense that naonao had warmed up to minami so quickly then, guanghong had honestly been expecting her to keep her distance for at least a couple of days, but it seemed she had already given minami her stamp of approval. that didn’t mean she was going to be nice enough to let minami sleep though, naonao did whatever she wanted to, came and went when she wished, and meowed at the top of her lungs at any hour. 

“i slept like a rock, didn’t even dream anything, pretty sure i didn’t move at all.” had drooled and probably snored too, but minami didn’t need to know that. guanghong had been so exhausted, his limbs heavy like lead while his head had felt like it was floating– an odd combination that had made sure he hadn’t woken up during the night. it had been exactly what he needed. with some actual energy in his system, he was ready to figure all of this out, to learn to not fear his new housemate.  

“mm, potion making mostly, probably have to get some herbs ready too.” he gives minami a small, apologetic smile. “…it’s not very exciting.” guanghong’s days weren’t that exciting most of the time. perhaps one would think he did more seeing as he was a witch, but his daily life was fairly relaxed. 

naonao once again makes her presence known by meowing again, rubbing her face against guanghong, who can’t help but smile at her, reaching up to pet her. “but first, breakfast, or she’ll just keep yelling.” he goes into the kitchen to make some tea, and find whatever ingredients he has lying around that can make a decent breakfast for both of them. 

That sounded about right, he’d had similar reports in the past that the nights after the first feeding were dreamless, sleeping like the dead as their bodies recovered “good” he hummed, smile unwavering as he lay there, comfortable in his spot “It’s pretty natural after the first time” he began, a yawn cutting him off mid-sentence that showed not just his sharp canines, but the sharp set of incisors beside both of them, often the set most left out of vampire myth people forgot the sharpened incisors purely because they didn’t elongate like the canines did, staying their regular size.

“---Your body needed time to recover, usually they sleep for days! I’m actually really surprised you woke up so soon!” Proof that Guanghong was at least strong in some aspect, or that strength was there, hidden beneath the surface where the witch hadn’t yet consciously reached. Hopefully at some point soon, he’d reach it, Minami would help him get there with rigorous training, might end up getting himself hurt in the process when Guanghong finally got to a point where he could control it, where he could use every ounce of his strength as both defensive and offensive, but Minami would survive, he knew he’d survive.

He’d just be happy the boy could protect himself.  

“Ohh, I spent some of the night learning about your herb stuff! And exploring your cupboards I hope you don’t mind” he just wanted to get used to his environment, but he knew he had to let Guanghong know he’d done it, didn’t want to invade any privacy without letting the witch know he’d done it. “I could probably help maybe? An if you need to gather any ingredients or anything from the woods my sense of smell is pretty strong” he didn’t want to be a worthless lay about, even when he’d first turned he’d happily helped around the house, his sire only too happy about it as it did wonders for keeping that lovely generosity his human self had been so well liked for. Vampires all too often lost the good traits that made up their human selves. “I’m sure I could help in finding anything you need?” Any herbs, any live ingredients, anything he could possibly need, Minami could probably gather in record time.

“Ah… yes, breakfast first, she seems very impatient...” his smile turning fond as he regarded the feline currently making a racket demanding food “Mocha used to just rub up against my legs until I fed her” never made too much noise but definitely tripped him up a few times. “By that I mean yes, yes I did have a cat, she died a long time ago though… she was around back when I was still a human, she helped keep me pretty grounded during the few years after I turned until she passed” already an old girl by the time he turned, she held out until he could control himself though, keeping him in his right mind with her calming presence.

“So Naonao is more than okay to make as much noise as she wants… I don’t mind” he missed having a cat around honestly…

[hypemanminami-blog]

huaxiangs:

the sun has long since risen by the time guanghong wakes up. not only had he slept for more than enough hours, he’s slept well too, feeling well-rested for once as he gets out of bed and gets ready for the day. his mind is mostly blank as he changes into clean clothes and tries to fix his bedhead. now that he has someone living with him, he does want to look at least halfway decent– he’s still going to wear comfortable clothes though. not even an unexpected house guest could make guanghong dress fancily in his own home. 

it’s only when guanghong emerges from his bedroom, gaze immediately landing on minami, that yesterday’s events finally sink in– again. he tended to be a little slow in the mornings, but not so slow that he doesn’t notice the vampire who’s fallen asleep on his couch, naonao looking up from minami’s lap when guanghong enters the room. 

for once, minami just looks… innocent and vulnerable, the sight almost jarringly different from what guanghong had seen the previous night. he looks so young, babyfaced like guanghong himself– honestly, he looked like he could still be going to school. it’s almost impossible to believe this guy’s a dangerous predator who had almost killed guanghong less than 24 hours ago.

too bad the quiet little bubble surrounding them is interrupted by naonao climbing down from minami’s lap and meowing loudly. “naonao!” guanghong hisses, crouching down to pet the cat when it approaches him, hoping that some attention might make her quiet down. “shh! minami’s still sleeping.” but she simply keeps meowing, once again reminding guanghong of why he had given her that name. “why are you like this–” he lifts her up and stands, hoping to take her to the kitchen so it’d at least be less noisy in the living room, but minami’s already awake before he gets the chance. 

“ah, good morning… sorry about… her.” naonao climbs out of his arms and up onto his shoulders, looking awfully satisfied. “she’s always extra noisy in the morning.”

Minami hadn’t slept in a very long time, probably months, years, he’d lost track really as vampires didn’t need to sleep, they simply did so when it was comfortable, when they felt safe enough to do so and really… nothing in the immediate vicinity could do him any harm. Plus… Plus he had a cat snuggled up on his lap, purring away, reminding him of a simple time when his own feline friend would keep him company, he was comfortable… he felt content there.

Until that same cat that’d kept him company, that’d lulled him into a peaceful slumber, began yowling up a storm god only knows how many hours later, not to mention the heartbeat much closer than it had been the night before. Guanghong was awake, staring at him. He was awake, eyes opening and rising from where he’d ended up curled up on the couch to simply watch Guanghong trying to shush the cat whom looked all too pleased with herself with how loud she’d been.

At least Guanghong seemed to be thinking of him when he shushed her, so considerate, enough so that it brought a small smile to his lips as he watched them both “Yeah mine used to be too” he spoke before a long yawn had him stretching up and out before flopping right back down on the couch. “Seems like a standard cat behaviour really, morning though… how’d you sleep? Well I hope…” usually they did right after a feed, bodies going into a deep slumber not waking for anything until their bodies had managed to recover, sometimes they even slept a good couple of days after the first feed, unused to the exhaustion but… Guanghong was a special case clearly.

He was more than just a human, he had power to him. “Do you have anything planned for today?” maybe he could help with whatever it was, he’d have to cover up because of the sun but… he’d manage.

[hypemanminami-blog]

huaxiangs:

he’s about to apologize again when minami sweeps him off his feet as if guanghong weighs nothing. the apology turns into a surprised squeak instead, though the surprise doesn’t last long as sleepiness settles in again. he could probably fall asleep in minami’s arms– or probably even on the floor really– though he forces his eyes to remain open for the little trek to his bedroom, barely registering where he is until he feels the soft bed beneath him. he had already been tired while seated on the couch, but it seemed like trying to get up and move had reminded his body of how much energy he really had used today.

guanghong doesn’t even care that he hasn’t washed up or changed clothes, he’d rather spend one night in his day clothes than get up and change now. but even through the exhaustion, he does feel a little guilty over minami being stuck in his living room with nothing to do but nap. “i have lots of books… if you feel like reading anything,” he mumbles as he burrows into the covers, effectively making a little blanket burrito for himself. “mostly about witch stuff though, i don’t know if it’ll be interesting to you.” if minami has any interest in learning about witches then perhaps those books could keep him entertained for a little while at least. 

a yawn escapes him before he can continue talking, not even bothering to open his eyes again when he speaks. “don’t be alarmed if you see a cat come in through the window… ‘s just naonao. she visits sometimes. might…” he yawns again, too tired to even feel embarrassed about it anymore. “might take some time before she warms up to you. she comes and goes a lot.”

he can’t think of anything else he needs to add– if minami was curious about anything else he could probably just figure it out himself by having a proper look around. there’s a small part of guanghong that feels a little uncomfortable with having someone snoop around his home (especially since he hadn’t tidied up the place since last week), but he figures minami should be allowed to look around given that this will be his home for a short while too.

“…good night, minami.”

Minami gave a simple nod of his head at that new piece of information before he left the boy on his own to sleep, a soft “Goodnight, Guanghong” uttered as he left the room, he probably wouldn’t have minded anyway had a cat just wandered in, animals were useless to him usually, their blood didn’t taste half as nice as humans did so usually he only bothered with them if he was starving. Thankfully, he wasn’t starving. Plus, he usually got along with cats, having had one a long long time ago when he’d been weak and mortal. She’d kept him company until the end and once he’d turned, she’d lived out the remainder of her days with him in his sire’s home, comfortable and content.

And that was it, for the rest of the night he’d be on his own again, the constant steady thump of a heartbeat close by and the warmth still circulating in his system had him settling into a calmer, lulled state of being, perusing the bookshelves Guanghong had mentioned and plucking out the thickest one he could find, something about herbalism which Minami would later realise had many many ties to witch craft, especially since the entire book seemed to have scribbles down each page with what potions each herb or plant would go into, what their effects would be. 

Seemed like old writing though, the pages were old, weathered, it looked older than his new companion was, perhaps it belonged to the grandmother Guanghong mentioned, he’d find out eventually, probably.

That led him into the kitchen though, curiously, as quiet as he could be, rummaging around the cupboards, exploring what the boy had in both his potions ingredients cupboards and his normal cooking ingredients cupboards, the new information he’d soaked up from reading that book helping him to identify what each plant-based ingredient was and what it could be used for should he ever need it. Not for himself of course, but if Guanghong ever needed help with something he could always help. The other cupboards found very little in the way of cooking ingredients, he had some things but… it seemed like he’d not re-stocked in a little while, probably trying to get rid of what he had before shopping for more, which… was honestly something he could… probably help with.

Fresh meats were easy to find and nothing could be fresher than something a vampire could catch and kill. Fresh deer, fresh fish anything living that his boy would eat, Minami could catch it for him easily. He’d ask when Guanghong woke up, but that pretty much concluded his exploring of the small house, returning himself right back to the couch where lo-and-behold a beautiful black feline had made herself comfortable.

“Hm… so you must be Naonao?” he hummed, sitting himself down on the couch and making himself comfortable beside her, stretching himself out just enough to disturb the feline into standing and hopping up onto his lap, curling up right there leaving him well and truly stuck for the rest of the night. He knew the rule, if a cat made you its bed, that was it, you were stuck until it moved. “Hm, so much for needing time to adjust huh… I had a cat once” he spoke softly, fingers gently stroking through beautiful black fur doing his very best to be mindful of his own sharp fingernails “she had longer fur than you, real lazy bones…” Gosh it’d been so long but her gentle purring put him at ease, had him settling down onto the couch the gentle pettings slowing to a stop as he drifted off somewhere around 4am, content and comfortable enough to sleep where he was, listening to the purring of the feline, and the steady heartbeat in the other room.

[hypemanminami-blog]

huaxiangs:

“it’s okay– i’ll try not to… believe your threats then.” they’ll both have to try to make this work somehow, effort was needed from both sides. guanghong would try his best to actually trust what minami was saying, to trust that he simply wished to help guanghong, that he really did have no intentions of hurting him. given guanghong’s easily frightened nature, it would probably take time, but as long as he tried his best, no one could demand more from him.

“carry me?” he echoes, sleepy eyes at once widening at the suggestion. he can’t deny that he feels tired– not only because of the blood minami had taken, but also the fact that this entire night had been a wild ride from start to finish. his heartbeat had been racing for so long, body pumped with adrenaline as he shook with fear– but now that he was finally in a calmer state, he’s just exhausted. there’s no adrenaline keeping him going now, only sleepiness weighing on his eyelids, making his entire body feel heavy. the slight light-headedness is new though, but he’s guessing it’s something he’s going to have to get used to.

“it’s… fine. my bedroom isn’t that far away.” with his house being so small, most things are easily within reach. having minami carry him the small distance to his bed would just be stupid (and frankly, a little bit embarrassing), which is why he gets up, fully intending on walking there himself. 

guanghong manages to stand for all of two seconds before he starts swaying, not quite registering it until he crashes into minami. “s-sorry! sorry–” he straightens up again, exhaustion momentarily forgotten as he tries to remain on his feet. he knew he was tired but now that he was standing, he could really feel how tired he was. “that was– an accident, sorry.”

Minami was quick to reach out when Guanghong started swaying, quick to catch him when he crashed down against him, hold loose to allow him to try and stand back up but he knew it wouldn’t last, Guanghong wouldn’t make it to his bedroom, he’d fall over before he got there no matter how short the distance. The poor boy’s body was still trying to regenerate what had been lost, working overtime to replenish the blood Minami had taken, that alone should be making him at the very least a little woozy.

“Whooa whoa, it’s okay, it’s not your fault now c’mon, don’t argue” he bent down just a little and swooped Guanghong off his feet, lifting him up like he weighed little to nothing, and to Minami, he didn’t weigh anything, basically like holding a feather. “Your body is tired, your mind is tired, and you’ve lost blood tonight, I’m carrying you and that’s all there is too it” Guanghong had pointed in the direction of the bedroom earlier, it wasn’t like it was hard to find, really only a few strides and he was there but it’d definitely have taken this wobbly soul a lot longer to get to

He’d probably have fallen asleep on the floor, giving up on getting to his bedroom entirely had Minami not actually done something about it. At least that’s what the vampire told himself. “Let’s get you into bed, and I’ll just… nap on the couch or something” he had nothing better to be doing, the house was quite small so exploring it would be over in like, two seconds, he didn’t want to leave the house because that might tip someone off as to where he was, bringing trouble back to his new companion. No… he’d stay in that night, get comfortable and just relax in his new home for however long he decided to stay.

“Allllright there we go” he sighed as he carefully placed Guanghong down atop the plush mattress in his bedroom, paying little mind to his surroundings as it wasn’t… his room… Guanghong deserved at least some privacy so he’d be in and out, already turning to head on out of the room without even trying to look at anything. “You get some sleep, I’ll be on the couch if you need me for anything” he probably wouldn’t but Minami said it anyway, just to be sure Guanghong knew he could call on Minami for anything during the night, even if he needed a drink or something, he’d grab it.

guanghong hadn’t been expecting that, minami’s anger disappearing and giving way to an actual apology and… sadness? he has no idea how old minami is, and he knows minami’s babyface can’t tell him anything, but judging from what he’s saying he’s definitely not young. 

living for so long, it’s no wonder that he’s a little jaded now, worry leading him to get a too hot-headed too fast. guanghong can understand why, and though that doesn’t make all the fear within him disappear, he’ll try his best to ignore it.

if minami had just explained all of this at the beginning it would have saved them both a lot of trouble, but guanghong knows how difficult it can be to put one’s flaws and weaknesses out on the table like that. truthfully, he’s impressed minami had managed to admit it all to him– maybe it meant that minami really was genuine with all of this, that he really did want to help guanghong just so he would live a long life. 

witches seemed to either live really long lives, or short ones. if left alone, unharmed and safe, they could outlive humans by decades. the problem was just that many witches met an unfortunate fate before they could make it that far– either killed by witch hunters, or they ended up loosing control of their powers and killing themselves. it depended on the type of power they held as well, but powers like guanghong’s that depended on the moon and stars, tended to be volatile and unpredictable when paired with unstable emotions. but if minami is worried about guanghong not living long, then there’s no way he can tell him that. he can’t tell minami that, no matter how well he trains guanghong, there will always be a chance that guanghong himself will be the cause of his own demise. 

“i… appreciate it. i really do. just… give me some time to adjust. i’ve been on my own for a while now too.” maybe not nearly as long as minami, but they were operating on slightly different lifespans here. “i would appreciate some help with practicing my powers, just don’t, um, threaten to kill me if i mess up… please? and i’ll promise to do my best. i don’t have any plans of dying anytime soon.” somehow he manages a tiny smile, finally looking at minami with sleepy eyes. 

“Okay… time to adjust… I can do that” he nodded, maybe not starting right away, Minami had all the time in the world, literally he was basically classed as immortal his body could last forever given nourishment and given that hunters didn’t get him but… with that he could live forever, he’d seen generations be born and die out, he’d seen wars fought on small and grand scales, he could wait a little while for Guanghong to feel comfortable with him.

“I… I can’t promise I won’t threaten, I’m not the most social of creatures and I’ll try and be better with that, but never believe I’ll actually do it, trust me Guanghong, I won’t hurt you” he could shout out threats all day but never mean a single one of them. “And if I do hurt you, it’ll be entirely unintentional, and I’ll feel guilty for centuries about it, even if it’s like a paper cut or something” outside of feeding of course, which… could sometimes hurt at first but usually that went away so fast they barely even noticed the hurt!

Gosh that tiny, sleepy smile made his heart warm though, that was what he wanted, he wanted Guanghong to smile around him, to be carefree as if he wasn’t living with something that could very easily murder him at any given moment. He wanted to be something that made Guanghong feel at ease, a presence the boy could be comfortable around but… he knew that’d take time, more time than just one night especially after he’d freaked him out so much twice in that one night. He returned it with his own, small, barely there smile, he was trying.

“C’mon, look at you, you’re tired! I’m surprised you haven’t fallen asleep yet” usually humans were out within minutes but… he supposed Guanghong wasn’t a normal human. “I know you said you could sleep on the couch but nope, I’m getting you to bed, lets go” standing up from where he’d been sitting, fully intending on carrying this boy to bed if he didn’t get himself up. “Your… your legs might feel a little like jelly I should… probably carry you” in fact he actually should carry him, Guanghong would probably only fall over if he didn’t.

POKING INTENSIFRAOEPGJROEA

MAXIMUM EFFORT POKING BEGINS

huaxiangs:

guanghong hadn’t meant to sound ungrateful, he had simply been trying to understand why a vampire would even bother trying to make him stronger. he doesn’t get it– minami was the one who was forcing himself into guanghong’s life, into his home, he had had no intentions of helping guanghong become stronger two seconds ago. 

there are so many things going through his mind, but all the words die on his tongue before he can say anything, too scared to accidentally piss minami off any further. he had said it himself, he could just kill guanghong right now and get it over with, the words only further cementing guanghong’s fears. minami could make all the pretty promises he wanted to, but in the end, he could turn on guanghong in a second, and guanghong wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. there would be no consequences for minami if he were to kill guanghong now or later. 

he’s silent for a long moment, not because he doesn’t have things to say, but because he’s too scared to say them. he feels stupid for having briefly believed that this wouldn’t be so bad, when it’s now becoming clear that it’ll just be months of walking around eggshells in his own home. one wrong word and minami could just threaten to kill him and he’d have his way. 

when guanghong finally manages to speak again, his voice is small, gaze only briefly landing on minami before he looks down. “how would you feel… if a stranger who almost murdered you… suddenly decided to help you? would you be able to blindly trust them… without asking any questions?”

he has his arms wrapped around himself again, hands gripping the fabric of his sleeves. “i… never… said i don’t care about my own well-being, i just don’t understand why you do.” he wants to say more, he wants to actually stand up for himself, but he doesn’t dare try. maybe he shouldn’t ask any more questions– he had gotten some sort of answer; minami doesn’t want guanghong to get injured because… because? because it would mean he had wasted his time somehow? perhaps like nursing an injured baby bird back to health, only to have to get killed the second its set free– except guanghong isn’t injured nor is he an animal, and no one’s forcing minami to help guanghong, so why? why would this be a waste of his time and effort if he doesn’t even have to do this at all?

Minami didn’t explain himself, he just didn’t, he was a creature of finality, usually meeting him meant you’d be dead shortly after so why would he ever bother explaining himself. Being alone constantly did nothing to help that. He’d been better at it, the last time he’d spent time with someone, he’d learnt to be better, opened up a little more, allowed some of his human self to seep back through the cracks in what he was now but…

That was decades ago, that companion had long since died, took his own life, one particularly bad mood drop, one difficult day when the fact of what he was allowing a vampire, a monster to do with him finally took him over the edge. It wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows with his companions, very rarely did they live to see old age if ever but… he never hurt them. Only took what they could give, and only responded to what they did, he never forced anything.

He could probably blame his solitary on his inability to explain himself. Call it lack of practice but he hadn’t meant to freak Guanghong out again although thinking back over what he’d said, what’d just blurted out when things didn’t go his way immediately he could definitely see why that heart rate spiked, why Guanghong was clutching at himself again, why he was so quiet.

“I’m sorry” he deflated, anger melting from his face “I’m… I’m not very good at this, I’ve… been on my own for a while” he hadn’t apologised in decades either. “All of them die Guanghong… I’ve been with humans before, I’ve kept them safe, stayed with them like I’m staying with you and all of them die before their time, one way or another none of them live to see old age, it’s never me though, before you think it, I... I never hurt them” and he wouldn’t, he could threaten all the live long day, but he wouldn’t actually do it. That was what he wanted Guanghong to understand, to be able to deal with, his volatile self while knowing that he’d never actually follow through with his threats.

“I know I’ll get attached, somewhere along the line I know I’ll get attached before I leave and the idea that you’d still be unable to protect yourself would have me constantly looking back, making excuses to stay where I am, stay close by so I can keep an eye on you, you don’t want that… you don’t want to be looking over your shoulder wondering if I’m still lurking around after I’ve left, do you?” Guanghong had already asked how long he was staying for, no doubt he’d want him gone as soon as physically possible but… Minami wanted to make sure Guanghong was safe before he did. “I know that at some point during our time together, I’ll want to believe that you can make it to old age so… so I want to help” and why not start making sure it was believable as soon as possible?
