Knock! Knock!
Shi Qingxuan looked up at the large doors of the Earth Master's palace, waiting for someone to answer. He surprised quite a few of the other officials when he decided to bow out of the banquet early rather than stick around to revel in the drink and merriment. However this was the Heavens; there will always be another banquet for him to partake in.
And besides, he found that he wasn’t having as much fun without his best friend’s presence.
He knows Ming-xiong, when given the choice, prefers to keep to himself and only attends parties when dragged along by the Wind Master himself. Most of the time the Earth Master will go along with what he wants, but today he was more insistent than usual that he wasn’t in much of a party mood, and to go along without him.
Well, he may have decided to not go to the party, but to Shi Qingxuan, that didn’t mean he could bring some of the party to him!
He knocks again on the door, more insistently this time, and just barely manages to stop himself from banging on the Earth Master’s chest when he answers the door with a blank expression. “Ming-xiong!” Shi Qingxuan lights up at the sight of his friend, “about time, I was starting to worry that you were ignoring me.”
“I was trying to..” Ming Yi responds dryly before sighing, “but after ten minutes of knocking, you made it apparent that it wasn’t going to work...what are you even doing here? The party can’t be over yet.”
The smile doesn’t leave Shi Qingxuan’s face, “It isn’t, I just decided to leave early.” He can’t help but chuckle at the small quirk of Ming Yi’s eyebrow. “I wasn’t having as much fun without you there, and I know you weren’t in much of a crowd mood today so I didn’t push as hard to try and get you to attend with me, but I still don’t like the idea of you being all by yourself. So…” he pulls the hand that was hiding behind his back forward, revealing an expensive bottle of wine, “I decided to bring the party to you instead!”
“Do I have a choice in this?” Ming Yi asks bluntly.
“Nope!” Shi Qingxuan smiles sweetly at him. “Come on, just a few drinks, and I’ve even asked one of the servants to bring some food from the banquet.” His smile widens when the mention of food makes Ming Yi pause for consideration before groaning and stepping aside so he can enter. “Let's get this party started!”
“We’re just having a few drinks and some food.” Ming Yi responds, “Not really what I’d call a party.” Shi Qingxuan just responds by wrapping his arm around his before walking towards the main living area.
“Well not with that attitude it won’t be.”
-
The servant from the banquet shows up at the palace when they’re about a fourth of the way through the wine bottle. Shi Qingxuan, having changed into his female form after his second drink, answers the door for Ming Yi and generously tips the servant with a few hundred merits. Shi Qingxuan sets the food out like they’re having a picnic in the living room.
“Isn’t this nice?” She hums happily, taking a few bites of a spring roll before taking another drink of wine. “Honestly it’s nice just spending time with you like this rather than being in the middle of a loud party.”
“That must be the wine talking..” Ming Yi responds, his cheeks stuffed with peking duck in a way that reminds Shi Qingxuan of a chipmunk, “you just feel obligated because you’ve decided to call yourself my best friend.”
Shi Qingxuan sticks her tongue out at him, “and you should know by now that it takes much more than three glasses of wine to get me drunk, and obligation has nothing to do with it you know..” She scoots closer to him until her face is only a few inches away from his. “I genuinely enjoy spending time with you, and whenever you’re not around…I feel a little lonely.” Ming Yi blinks at her, as if suddenly aware of how close she is.
“Well..” he responds after he’s swallowed, his eyes glancing away from the Wind Master’s, “I suppose I would be lying if I said I don’t enjoy your company too..” The blush on his cheeks feel involuntary as he can just sense the other god smiling happily at his admittance.
“Hey, Ming-xiong? Can you look back at me for a moment?”
The moment the Earth Master turns his head back at her, Shi Qingxuan’s lips are on his.
Ming Yi acts on pure instinct as he starts kissing her back, and she starts deepening it as she presses closer. Though the moment Ming Yi feels the weight of her settle onto his lap, he breaks the kiss and puts his hands on her shoulders, pushing her back. “Wait, no…” he breathes, clearing his throat a bit, “W-we’ve been drinking..”
“You’ve only had one glass, and you’ve eaten enough food that you must’ve soaked up all the alcohol,” Shi Qingxuan responds, not trying to close the distance between them again, but her hand gently coming up to one of the hands on her shoulder and covering it, “and like I’ve said before, three glasses isn’t enough to get me drunk, so I’m completely aware of what I’m doing.”
“If...if your brother found out..” Shi Qingxuan responds by hanging her head with a groan. “Please don’t mention my brother when I’m straddling you like this..”
“He won’t approve.”
“I couldn’t care less about what my brother does and doesn’t approve of at the moment…Ming-xiong.” She lifts her head to meet his eyes, her expression clear and kind. “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and I’ve finally just allowed myself to work up the courage to do so. But, if you don’t want this, if I’m making you feel uncomfortable at all, you just say the word and we stop things here and never mention it again.” She reaches forward to cup his cheek as she looks at him with a genuine smile, “I value our friendship too much to lose it over something like this.”
Ming Yi looks at her for a long time, searching her face for any doubt or deception, but finds none. Just a pure, sincere smile paired with honest eyes. Whether in their male or female form, that expression never loses its value.
“Fuck it.” Ming Yi murmurs, bringing a hand to hold the back of the Wind Master’s head as he presses his lips against hers, kissing her deeper and hungrier than before. Shi Qingxuan immediately responds by wrapping her arms around his neck, the skirt of her robes lifting up as he presses her back against the floor, Ming Yi settled comfortably between her legs.
Shi Qingxuan looks a little dazed when he eventually pulls back to give her a breath, “Oh, wow…” she smiles breathlessly up at him, “I didn’t know you could kiss like that..” Ming Yi smirks a little.
“I guess I’ve been making myself hold back a bit too..”
It’s as though the hesitation completely left Ming Yi as he leans down to kiss her again, his hand deftly undoing the sashes keeping her robes closed, his hands trailing down a soft, warm stomach before dipping to her pants, a gasp squeaking out against his lips as he touches the warmth between her legs. Her hands grip onto the front of his shirt tightly as his fingers explore her; getting them nice and wet before two of them press inside her. Sex was a topic that was breached very rarely with the Earth Master, mainly due to Shi Qingxuan’s quiet embarrassment to reveal how inexperienced they were despite the long life they’ve lived so far. Though even with their own inexperience, they never would’ve imagined that it could feel this good.
“Ming-xiong…” Shi Qingxuan gasps against his lips, his body trembling as he feels something building inside him, “Ming-xiong, I can’t…I think I’m-”
“Do it.” Ming Yi breathes, his fingers moving faster as he feels the god beneath him tense up, “Go ahead and let go, Wind Master.”
It’s only moments after the order leaves Ming Yi’s lips that Shi Qingxuan is arching against him, her whole body trembling as she soaks his fingers with her release. She falls back against the floor, still shaking with aftershocks as Ming Yi pulls his fingers from her. She blinks up at her friend as looks at her with an unreadable expression as he cups her cheek. “Are you tired?” he asks softly, “do you want to stop here?”
It only takes a moment for Shi Qingxuan to shake her head, “No..” she breathes as her cheeks flush deeper, “I want more, I-I want to go all the way with you.” A small smile pulls at Ming Yi’s lips. His hand moves from her cheek and down to her wrist, and in one fluid movement, he’s pulling her back until she’s straddling his lap once again. At this angle, she can fully feel his erection tenting through his trousers.
“Then go ahead and take it.” Ming Yi hums against her lips. Shi Qingxuan blushes deeply as she meets his eyes before smiling playfully, and presses him down against the carpet. She shimmies fully out of her robes before undoing Ming Yi’s belt and pulling his trousers down, her eyes widening as his erection springs free. She looks at Ming Yi once more for some guidance and Ming Yi smiles slightly. He reaches forward to take her hands, pulling her forward until she’s kneeling right over his erection. “Do you need my help here too?”
Shi Qingxuan laughs sheepishly as she blushes. “No, I think I can figure it out from here..” She grips Ming Yi’s hand firmly as she starts sinking down on his cock, taking in a deep breath as she starts taking him inside her. It stings a bit, but not as much as it would have if he hadn’t already made her come once already. Ming Yi is patient, letting her take her time to get used to the feeling of having someone inside her like this. Once she’s fully seated on him, a gasp leaves her lips, her free hand gripping the front of his shirt as she adjusts to him being inside her. “Oh...so this is what it feels like.” She smiles breathlessly. Ming Yi chuckles and reaches up to brush her messy bangs out of her eyes.
“Sometimes I forget how innocent you actually are..” he hums softly. His hand drifts down to cup her cheek, his thumb stroking the soft skin there. Shi Qingxuan blinks at the gentle expression on his face.
“Mi-” She doesn’t even finish getting his name out before he’s pulling her down into a deep kiss, an arm wrapping around her waist as he starts slowly rolling his hips up against hers. She whimpers into the kiss, her hands coming up to bury in his hair, messing up his ponytail as she kisses him back with as much passion. It doesn’t take her too long to start meeting his movements, grinding down on him, gasping against his lips each time his cock presses against something inside her that sends electricity coursing through her body. “Good…” she moans shakily, clinging onto him tight, “it feels so fucking good..” Ming Yi starts fucking into her harder the tighter she clings onto him, quickly turning those sweet moans into cries of passion as he pulls another orgasm out of her.
“It does feel amazing..” Ming Yi grunts, gripping her waist tight enough to bruise as he feels his own release starting to build. “Shit..Qingxuan..I’m close.” As soon as the warning leaves his lips, a shaky groan leaves his lips as his hips slam up into her one more time, his release spilling into her. They hold onto each other tightly until he finishes and hes falling back breathlessly against the floor. “Sorry..” he murmurs, bringing a hand up to wipe sweat from his brow, “should’ve given you more warning.” Shi Qingxuan chuckles sweetly as she moves to sit up, brushing her mussed up hair out of her face.
“Don’t be, it felt good..” She blushes, shakily lifting off of him before falling to the floor right beside him. “It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.”
“Yeah…it’s been a long…long time since I’ve done this. Not since I was still human.” Ming Yi hums, looking over at her with a quiet expression, “It was nice...doing it with you.”
Shi Qingxuan lights up happily, leaning over to press a kiss to his cheek, “Well, I’m happy that you agree.” Her cheeks warm up as she looks at him with a playful expression, “was it nice enough…that you’d want to do it again?” Ming Yi looks at her with a wide, almost comical look, and he sighs before smiling.
“I have a feeling we’ll need to order some more food so I’ll have the energy to keep up with you.”
-
He Xuan furrows his eyebrows as he feels the light of day come through the curtains. He tries to reach down to pull the covers over his head, but realizes pretty quickly that a heavy weight in his arm keeps him from doing so. He opens his eyes, and the sleepiness leaves his body pretty quickly as he sees Shi Qingxuan, still in their female form, still fast asleep..and still as naked as he is, cuddling up in his arms. He relaxes a little as he realizes that she isn’t showing any signs of waking yet, meaning he has plenty of time to change back to Ming Yi. He got rather careless, dropping his guard so completely that he changed back to his true form in his sleep. Though, to be fair, he’s never had to worry about keeping his guard up in his private bedchambers, since he’s never invited anyone back into it.
At least, not until last night.
After a few more rounds in the living area, and a break in between for some food and drink, the two stumbled their way back into the bedchambers, where they kept going until just a few short hours ago, when exhaustion finally caught up with them.
He Xuan’s eyes drift down Shi Qingxuan’s sleeping form; hickies and love bites decorating her shoulders, breasts, stomach and the inside of her thighs. He Xuan winces slightly as he moves to sit up, and remembers the scratch marks she left behind on his back. He hears her grumble unhappily in her sleep as he pulls away from her. A small smile pulls at his lips as he reaches down to brush her bangs out of her face. Last night was rather enjoyable, though he wonders what it will feel like to do it when Shi Qingxuan returns to their male form.
He freezes as he realizes what he’s thinking; what is he doing? Assuming that there will be a next time?
He can’t let himself forget why he’s here; why he took the place of the Earth Master and got close to Shi Qingxuan in the first place. What happened last night was amazing, and he has no regrets about it…but it can never happen again. He will allow himself to admit that, yes, he has some level of attraction to the Wind Master, and he has gotten all those urges out of his system when they spent the night together.
Him imagining Shi Qingxuan in his bed like this every night, imagining making love to them in both their male and female form…those are just left over from the passionate night they had together. That’s all.
Besides, Shi Qingxuan only ever wanted their beloved “Ming-xiong”...they would never have opened themself up to He Xuan…as much as he may wish that they would.
He makes himself leave those thoughts as he hears Shi Qingxuan start to groan as she wakes. He’s already changed back to Ming Yi the moment before she opens her eyes.
“Morning..” she hums happily. “Ming Yi” smiles back slightly.
“You look like quite the sight..” he lets himself chuckle as she looks down at her body and blushes deeply at all the marks on her body. “Don’t worry, your clothes will cover all of them, though you may want to take a bath before you get dressed; the servants already cleaned them for you.” Sure enough, before they made their way to the bedroom, he saw one of his palace servants gather up the Wind Master’s robes.
Shi Qingxuan stretches out her arms and legs before climbing off the bed. “You’re probably right…would you care to join me in the bath?” She asks with a smile. Ming Yi only quirks a little.
“You go ahead, I think I actually need a bit more rest after how long you kept me up last night.” Which isn’t a complete lie. He rests back against the bed as Shi Qingxuan pouts a little, but still turns and makes her way to the bath chamber.
Perhaps if he joined the Wind Master in the bath, he’d notice Shi Qingxuan’s slight confusion as her first attempt to change back to her male form had failed.
