hooking fingers into the waistband of their pants, pulling them closer. — sett to xiao…:pensive:
flirting // @face-breaker
he was supposed to be leaving.
xiao had barely finished styling back his hair, the prince fluffing it just a bit more in the mirror, when he'd seen he was running late. he was becoming careless in these rendezvous with his paramour, time seeming to blend whenever they were together. he was still partially in a daze from their late night, head spinning with thoughts of red hair, beautiful eyes, sighs of want, moans of pleasure. thinking about it left xiao's mind hazy as he let out a deep breath, turning to lean against the sink and slowly buttoning up his shirt.
with every passing meeting the voice in his head, one of reason and caution, seemed to grow quieter and quieter. the concerns about disappointing his family and beatrix were shrinking, slowly replaced with a growing desire to serve please someone else. he was already the screw up, the second best, the black sheep — so why shouldn't he just give in? what point was there in trying to be anything else, when being the failure meant more of... this?
more of sett standing before him, more studying of his lips, his eyes, his everything? sett, whose fingers thumbed beneath his beltline, sett who wanted him closer? xiao wanted to be closer, too.
the prince allows sett to guide him with no struggle or hesitation, his gaze trained on the other's as a lazy smile faintly tugs at his mouth.
"...if you want something, you should ask."
it's murmured between them as xiao rests his arms over sett's shoulders. he moves in close, but makes no connection.
"ask, or i'll go." he hovers there, lingering. "ask, and maybe... i'll..."
the word dies in his throat, the prince searching for any clue that sett would want that. did this mean as much to him as it did to xiao? what was he to the other? how could he have allowed himself to fall so far, to let this man hold so much power over him? brows furrow ever so slightly in uncertainty — in a silent ask of his own.
