hypnotic pattern distracted him momentarily from noticing the broken cup next to the table. If this had been the beginning of their relationship, he would've thought it an accident, but they had been courting for years, only waiting for their heirs to be of age to be together.

So he knew better, as he knew Wanyin as well as he knew himself. "Did Wanyin push the cup because he was feeling neglected?" One of his love cute ears twitched, the only outward show of his annoyance. "Who's feeling neglected?" "I remember making the tea and leaving the cup

to the left of Wanyin, but here it is, broken to his right." "I moved it after drinking, it fell by mistake." It hadn't, they both knew it hadn't. "Really?" "Maybe you would believe if you hadn't left to the other room." Ahh, so Wanyin had felt lonely. "I didn't want to

bother you, my heart. You complained las week how annoying it is when I hum." He murmured something, that if not for being a cultivator with sharpened senses he wouldn't have heard. "Maybe it was too quiet." He could say something, he could again try to accuse Wanyin of the

crime that they both know he committed. But on the other hand, he loves him too much, and as his future husband is his job to let him keep some face. "Wanyin, I'm sorry, I tried to stay in the other room, but I miss you so much, will it be alright if I come and do my work here?"

"If it's something you need." He hugged him and kissed the top of his head, right between his ears, "thank you, my love." "Mm... I wouldn't mind if you hum either." "Really?" "If it helps you..." "Okay! I'll go get my things." A cough stopped him, and in a reluctant tone:

"I'll... maybe... need some more tea?"

Notes: brain too scattered, hope it's fun and cute anyways. Enjoy 💜💙
