[imperio]

( what are u so stressed about lil man )

i would love to meet him.
should we all go out together?

[inheritedpain]

[ well he has a heart attack about that question until he realises harry just means like. for an outing. ]

yeah

that's what i was thinking

he and i haven't really done a lot of like

well i haven't seen a tele vision in the big places they show them in? i thought maybe something like that

[imperio]

a movie theatre, sure.
what kind of a movie, do you think?
scary? comedy?
romance?

three moons shenanigans

[inheritedpain]

[ Harry gets very little warning when Jin Ling shows up. All he gets is a text saying "i'm two minutes away", and then exactly two minutes he is at Harry's door. He's wearing modern clothes - his white and gold jacket from his father, a white t-shirt with a peony emblazoned on it, under a pale gold button up, and gold track pants with white stripes down the sides. It's ostentatious, sure, but it suits him somehow.

He also, god help him, has little stubs of antlers peaking out of his dark hair.

His was going to pretend they didn't exist though, instead waiting for Harry to open the door before unceremoniously walking in past him carrying bags of groceries. ]

I had this sneaking suspicion you were living off cereal again so I brought you some things.

[imperio]

( honestly, harry's gotten lucky with his moons so far. the ears and the tail are new, sure, but he really hasn't been overwhelmed with animalistic instinct the way a lot of people warn him towards. life pretty much continues on as normal, down to the very text message jin ling sends — down to the warm fire in his gut it lights. well. actually, that last one is a bit interesting — usually jin ling has to put a little effort into getting him hard.

oh well. he answers the door and allows jin ling in, and is temporary blinded by the scent of him flooding in an otherwise sanguis-only estate. he stands with the door open well after jin ling has continued on inside, blinking his vision back in place, before he shuts the door and moves to go help him. )

Uh ... huh.

( he wasn't listening. and in fact, he's not even helping, instead just hovering weirdly close to jin ling, wolf ears flickering as he just takes a nice, deep whiff.

huh. )

[inheritedpain]

[ Jin Ling can practically feel the other boy's eyes on him, and a light flush spreads under his skin as he starts putting groceries away. ]

See? I knew it. You've got next to nothing. How you even survive on your own, I don't even know.

[ It's not actually that bad, Harry is fine, but Jin Ling likes to complain to cover up his affection, so that's what he's doing. It doesn't help that Harry just looking at him is making a warm spread south. Damn it. How come whenever his antlers are sprouted all he can think about is-- ahem!! Anyway!!

He sighs and turns to look at the boy when he doesn't really reply, and notes the ears and the tail for the first time. A tiny lopsided smile tugs at his lips and he reaches out to gently pet one of those ears. ]

Huh. You look cute, like this. You're not a fox, though... Wolf, maybe?

[ He hasn't actually had to deal with sanguis before... ]

[imperio]

( the ears themselves are jet black, save for a tuft of gray inside either one. much more black than potter, in any case. as jin ling pets it, it instinctively twitches into his palm, harry shutting his eyes and sighing at the touch.

the swish of a fluffy tail behind him is evident, pleased as punch before stark green eyes snap open, and he in turn reaches to grab jin ling's wrist a little roughly.

not to pull him away, mind. to hold him there while harry presses his nose inside his wrist, scenting him. apparently displeased, he grunts, tugging jin lin sharply into him, so his nose presses against his neck instead, smelling him there, too. it's not — bad. it's just not harry, which upsets some carnal urge deep within him.

groceries quickly forgotten, harry winds his free arm around jin ling's waist, keeping them glued together. he grunts again, acknowledgement, nosing against his throat to get him to show more of it off. )

Mm. Wolf.

( yep. there's a scent gland right behind his ear, and once the words are out, he doesn't hesitate to sink slightly more canine-like teeth into it, covering up jin ling's scent with his own. there. much better. )

[inheritedpain]

three people disappeared from my world, and sizhui’s world

my friend zizhen and


the other jin ling’s uncle
his mom

[imperio]

shit

( is perhaps a rather lacking response, but — jin ling's phone rings just after, harry calling. his door is aways open, he knows that, but if he doesn't want to come over, then harry certainly isn't going to leave him on his own. )

Time to meet Kaz; Action

[inheritedpain]

[ It's been a rough few days for Jin Ling, so maybe he's been a little quieter than usual, but he's feeling the lack now. Especially after Harry started advertising on the network. Even the thought of it makes his face a little red, and then immediately afterward he feels guilty.

Who is he to tell Harry what he can and can't do, anyway?? It's not like -- it's not like Harry's ever stipulated that they're anything special. They just kind of fell into this and then neither of them wanted to leave. His feelings are such a jumbled mixed up mess that he's not even sure if he's allowed to have them, or not. But maybe he should just say that? Things seem to be easier when people actually talk about them, despite literally none of the adults in his life seemingly able to do that.

So, fine, maybe he should just say to Harry that he can moonlace with whoever he wants and see whoever he wants and care about whoever he wants but that he needs to know that Jin Ling feels more than-- Ugh, this is so stupid!! And so hard!! He hates this!! Screw feelings!!

This is why Jin Ling has been standing in the hallway outside Harry's door for the last ten minutes, just sort of pacing back and forth, clutching the grocery bag with an iron grip.

He'll work himself up to knocking eventually. Probably. ]

rubs hands together like fly

[ketterdamn]

[ Truthfully, he shouldn't have said anything to Harry about his post. No warnings, no poking his nose in his business. Let him sink or swim on his own, that's the right of it.

Instead, his better side had hit "send" before he could check himself and now it looked like he cared too much. Which. He doesn't. Really. If Harry wanted to invite the entirety of the city to kiss him or whatever it was that people did when they moonlaced, that wasn't any of his problem. Except now he's mired in at least being friendly. And perhaps slightly worried about Harry's seemingly self-destructive tendencies.

Ugh, this place has made him soft. Disgusting.

Annoyed at such a line of reasoning, he almost turns around about halfway to Harry's flat; he could just burn this bridge. Okay, no, maybe he can't. He did say he was going to teach him cards and half hearted excuses aren't his style. The tap of his cane slows as he gets close to the door, frowning at the other man who looked to be fretting and trying to wear a hole in the ground with his pacing. ]

Is he not answering or have you not even knocked?

[inheritedpain]

[ As soon as he hears someone coming, he immediately stops, standing straight and stiff, his nose just a little in the air - a picture perfect rendition of the Lanling Jin pride. It's now obvious that in the hand that isn't holding groceries, there's something else: a gold and ivory sword, clutched just as tightly as the bag.

He sniffs a little as he gives the other man a once over, not even bothering to answer the question. ]

What's it to you, anyway?

[ His voice could almost be called prim, if the grammar wasn't so basic. ]

[ketterdamn]

[ At the other man's posturing, he looks completely unimpressed. Mercher types are all the same, aren't they? Think they're the Saints' gift to the earth because they're walking on it. Kaz does have to concede the sword is a nice one to look at though. And very possibly gets used, if the grip is any indication.

Alright, that's more than someone like Van Eck could do. But that isn't saying much. ]

I'd rather not waste my time if you've been waiting around already. So, have you knocked or have you been wearing a hole in the ground? You seem pretty committed to pacing.

The next day;

[inheritedpain]

[ He calls ahead this time, mostly because he doesn’t want to run into Kaz or anyone else outside Harry’s door. He doesn’t want to be frustrated or annoyed. He’s already nervous enough, with butterflies going mad in his stomach and his heart as erratic as a prancing fawn.

He breathes out, clutches the bag tight and knocks.

He barely waits for Harry to say hi before he’s brushing right past him to set the bag down on the counter. It’s another cake. This time white chocolate decorated with gold dusted deep red raspberries. ]

Here. Let’s see if you like this one better or worse.

[ He was trying to seem cool and aloof but he was clearly already nervous and antsy, which wasn’t made any better when he decided to go storm the kitchen looking for utensils. ]

[imperio]

Ah —

( it feels like jin ling always comes in this way, like a hurricane. goes to show, he doesn't kiss harry on the cheek. so what was all that, yesterday?

he turns to find yet another cake unveiled to him, tilting his head in curiosity, although the smile on his face reads you are a silly, silly, man, a-ling. shaking his head, harry walks by him to grab a knife from the kitchen, letting out a soft, amused sigh to himself. )

Another, A-Ling? You're not really going to keep bringing me one, are you?

( where jin ling is at the sofa, harry leans against the back, angling the knife somewhat gracefully before him. he pulls it away before jin ling can grab it.

kiss tax. thank u. )

You'll have to start rolling me down the stairs when we go out.

( once all is paid and harry potter is sufficiently kissed, he lets jin ling see to cutting them each a slice, hopping over the couch with his feet kicked up. are they going to talk about yesterday? he hums, tasting something a little bitter in the air. to be fair, jin ling is more often tense than he is relaxed — in fact he's pretty sure the only time he's ever had him fully relaxed was in a room just a door away, with the lights off. harry nudges his thigh with the point of his toe. )

You alright, then?

[inheritedpain]

I said a cake a day for ten days, didn’t I? You think I’m going to back down on my sworn word?

[ Plus it made a convenient excuse to come over every night...

He paid the kiss tax with a kiss that was significantly less innocent than the one he’d given last night, and then takes the knife and cuts them both a slice. ]

I’m fine.

[ He holds out the plate for him. ]

I know last night I was- I mean I— [ Sorry is a very hard word to say. He ends up going around it. ]

It was not my proudest moment. [ A little tense. ] So don’t - I didn’t mean to act like that with your - [ help him ] - friend.

[descendency]

Harry, it's Gabriel. I wanted to apologize for the other day.

[ you know, just a casual apology for the super casual thing that happened when he met up with you. ]

[imperio]

are you going to tell me you're usually not that much of a bastard

[descendency]

No, I had on my good boy pants on Fox's behalf. I'm actually much, much worse.

But the people I touch aren't usually this fucked up either. What's wrong with you?
