The sun in the north had always been kind of absent. The nights were much more prominent in the ice demon kingdom. They were long and almost all consuming at times. At the height of winter they stretched over several weeks. But even in summer, the sun never managed to warm the land with its rays.
The first time Mobei Jun learned that the sun's rays were warm had been when he had been kidnapped by those humans. He had been too young then, couldn't play the ice cold demon prince of the north. Instead he had been a trembling mess. And amid all this horror, he had felt this warm, tingling feeling on his skin. Maybe it had been the first time he actually had experienced warmth. That experience had left him with deep scars of untrust in his soul, but also with a longing for the warmth of the sun in the human world.
It was weird for an ice demon to crave warmth, especially that of the sun. Mobei Jun never heard anyone complaining about the long winter nights or the lack of sun in summer. While other demons of his realm avoided fire, he searched it out, sitting too close for comfort just in hope to feel this tingling warmth again. But it could never evoke the feeling he so much longed for.
Not until he was sent out for his first mission in the human world. The mission had been handled swiftly. And so, he used the spare time to laze in the sun. The warm rays danced on his skin, making him feel all tingly. He felt how his dark hair and everything underneath it warmed up. It was like sitting in a bonfire that didn't burn away his skin. It was comforting.
It made him inattentive to his surroundings. He only noticed the Huan Hua disciples as it was already too late. The poisoned metal had already been driven deep inside his flesh.
Getting rid of those few disciples hadn't been hard, but he could already feel the poison taking root inside of him, feeding on his usage of qi. Unable to use a portal like that, he stumbled through the foliage, hyper vigilant for other members of any cultivator sect.
It was then, when he found the transport carriage pulled and surrounded by An Ding disciples. They seemed weak enough. He quickly made his move. But he had miscalculated. The poison took a much bigger toll on him than he had expected. Everything became a blur and before he knew it, he awoke in bed, warm sunlight heating his body up to an almost uncomfortable extent. He sat up when a rustle and slight shifting of the mattress took his attention.
Next to the bed was that whiny disciple that had crawled before him, begging for his life earlier before his senses had given out. He was kneeling, his head resting on the bed. He seemed deep asleep. Brown locks falling into his face, puffy cheeks making him look like some kind of small rodent. He had dark circles underneath his eyes and dirt was clinging to his skin from where he had rolled himself in the dirt of the road in front of the ice demon. His skin was sunkissed and freckles were scattered on it like stars in the night sky.
It was at that moment that the sun hit the face of that human just right, making him scrunch up his nose and shift in his sleep. His brown locks suddenly had a fiery sheen to them and his skin looked golden. Mobei Jun suddenly felt like the sun itself was kneeling in front of him.
That's how he had met Shang Qinghua, the timid human who became his spy. As soon as that guy had his own room at the sect, he used it as his personal sunbathing spot. And when he was too occupied in the Northern Desert, he made the human come to him. With his yellow clothes, his golden skin and his freckles he became Mobei Jun's personal little sun.
He loved watching him nervously scattering around like a small animal, loved sneaking small touches and feeling the warmth of his human body or just fully wrapping himself around him. And on the rare occasions he actually smiled, Mobei Jun really could feel the tingling warmth of sunlight inside of him. It was like the human had been created just for him. As if a higher being had gifted him a fraction of the sun he longed so much for.
