dreams-of-fate​:

        Went just as he expected it to, and he stood straighter and to his full height when both released from the hug. The question posed easy to answer, since it hadn’t been that hard to track down the martial god of the Southwest, at least not for Pei Ming. He had a niche for finding hiding gods, if he did say so himself. 

        “Took a little work but I’m not going to let you in on how,” Pei Ming said cheekily. “I’m good at what I do. In all ways.” Gave Mu Qing’s shoulder a hearty pat on the shoulder. If Mu Qing knew how he found him, then he’d use that ability against him to find better hiding places. Maybe, actually Pei Ming wasn’t be certain on that. 

   all sorts of possibilities were running inside his head to figure out how he might have found exactly where he is. even if he had heard the stories, he shouldn’t be able to guess just which tree it was. it made mu qing doubt many things but he had come to learn not to judge too fast. still fast. just not too fast. so he dropped it for the time being.

    “   as long as you didn’t ask that dick yang, i’ll be fine.   ”  he huffed out, still taking a jab at his sworn enemy of life. ridiculous but it’s what they both feel comfortable with now. the change of title to friends didn’t sit natural.  “   you didn’t have to come, though. don’t you have prayers to answer, monsters to slay or ladies to flirt with?   ”  he raised a brow, very obviously provoking the other to release the tension from before.

dreams-of-fate​:

        “You okay?” A useless question since Pei Ming assumed the answer would be “fine” since that was often the kind of answer Mu Qing regularly gave not only about personal things but ones that were just when he was in a mood. He never hung around him enough to figure out what his moods were like on a consistent basis. 

        He’d admit it felt weird to have Mu Qing hug back, mostly as it was unexpected and not the kind of thing to be expected. But to Pei Ming, it proved to him that the hug had been needed. Not that he planned to say that. Who wanted to ruin a moment like this, anyway? 

     there is a beat of silence after the question is presented to mu qing. he contemplates how to answer to that other than telling the other he is okay. because in a way, he was okay. everyone had their ups and downs. even gods. so he bared his teeth and forced out a reply.   “   i’m okay.   ”   an expected answer, really.

      mu qing slowly pulls himself away from the other and the hug he was kindly offered and given. this was just another thing that he had to keep a secret and never let anyone find out. he doesn’t think pei ming will tell anyone anyway.  “   how did you know i was here?   ”  this place wasn’t really somewhere that mu qing shared easily. but perhaps it wasn’t that hidden either. under the tree of once he was accused of stealing right before xie lian saved him from such accusations. only momentarily. 

[halfdivinity]

dreams-of-fate​:

        Took the step forward again and put his arms around him, albeit awkwardly as even he could tell from how Mu Qing spoke that hugs weren’t a thing he had much even prior to his years of being a god with an attitude. Patted his back with a light touch to start him out in getting used to it. He didn’t want to startle him like a stray cat.

         Whether Mu Qing thought of Pei Ming as friend or an annoying guy who showed his presence off, as some thought him to be, he at least knew the other didn’t consider him any worse. And for once, Pei Ming appreciated it. 

    it did feel much like how someone would approach to a stray cat. slowly getting close, tentatively holding out a hand for it to sniff before actually patting it. mu qing knows he gives off that vibe, he’s been told before. but no one has ever actually offered to approach anyway so it never mattered. maybe this is what friends really did. how was he supposed to know? spending his years as a servant to the only person he wanted to be friends with.

         mu qing relaxed into the hug a bit more and at least dropped his shoulders from being so tense. he didn’t know whether to hug back his arms were awkward while deciding what to do. in the end, he did put his arms around the other. very loosely.

[halfdivinity]

dreams-of-fate​:

        Took his word as fact and stepped back, withholding a sigh of concern. With his arms now folded across broad chest, Pei Ming eyed him. “Babies aren’t the only ones who need hugs, but to answer your question - no, you don’t look like a baby. And that wasn’t why I was going to hug you. You don’t find my humor funny, you don’t drink your sorrows away, don’t sleep with people, only other option was a hug and to listen to you.” There were reasons as to why he had been close to many of his men back during his years as a Xuli General.

       Mu Qing needed to let him know if he wanted one because he wasn’t about to hug him when given a clear “I don’t want it”. That wasn’t how things worked, not with him.

   pei ming isn’t half wrong in the sense that mu qing’s stress reliefs were nothing but curse, snap at people and fight. those were not the healthiest choices but he didn’t have much else to work with. as he had already stated, he didn’t drink, sleep with people or enjoy many people’s companies. to most, it must sound like a complete hell. but mu qing is used to it, being on this path of cultivation for so long. 

               “   fine.   ”  he finds himself saying soon enough. but he will not take the first step to actually get that hug that was promised. it’s already humiliating enough. but at least now he knows pei ming isn’t half bad as a friend. still a new word to use for mu qing.

        Continued from [ x ] + @halfdivinity​

         Observed the details in his mannerisms and posture now, of which there was a conflict between what was said and what done. His own hand hovered above the non-injured shoulder, not yet touching him without a better sense of what he wanted. Because it could bite him in the ass. After all, it was Mu Qing.

         He looked rattled, more than Pei Ming thought he ever saw the other before and while a joke or two might lighten the mood… Lightening the mood wasn’t what was needed just yet. “I’m going to hug you, is that alright?” Lowered his head to try to get a better look at his face.

   mu qing’s eyes basically shrink as soon as the other declares that he is going to hug him. for what?! that’s what he wants to yell but stops himself before doing such a thing. he doesn’t want to embarrass himself any further. though, it might be too late for that. he had been silent for too long already, obviously contemplating about it all in his head.

          “   don’t do that. why the fuck would you do that? i don’t need a hug. do i look like a baby to you?!   ”   and despite all of these words, mu qing doesn’t step back or move away. his feet are glued to the ground and his grip around his sword tightens. his gaze already on the floor to hide his both terrified and anticipating expression. has anyone ever hugged him? he cannot even remember.

❛❛ You look like you need a hug. Come here. ❜❜  (pei.ming at mu.qing)

soft caring sentence compilation

       “   i need a what?!   ”

the reaction to such words were almost automatic. the tone in utter disbelief as his eyes are widened. one hand forming a fist while the other rests on his shoulder that had been recently injured. nothing that needed attendance as it’d heal pretty soon. 

        while his physical injuries were nothing to worry about, the way he was shaken must have been a little too obvious. no matter how much he truly wanted to hide any sort of weakness, there were times that he slipped up. perhaps those times occurred whenever he was around someone that he felt more comfortable with than usual. the strange thing was that pei ming had noticed it. and even dared to offer a hug.

             mu qing can’t think of a time someone has ever told him that he needed a hug and offered it. maybe his mother used to but that was such a long time ago that he can barely remember what it felt like. 

“   i don’t need a hug, i’ll be fine. i am fine.   ” 

                    despite such arguing words, his feet take a step forward against all will. as he feels betrayed by his own body and mind, mu qing forces himself to stop. his head falls down as his fist gets tightened, trying everything to pretend this wasn’t happening to him. and surely not having any courage to look at the other anymore. so his gaze stays on the ground.

❝  i’ve got your back, okay?  ❞  (pei.ming @ mu.qing)

soft caring sentence compilation

          of all the people mu qing would expect to hear it from, pei ming wouldn’t even make it to list. well, at least not if it was a couple of months ago. it was sort of crazy and completely unexpected how the two of them managed to lay a foundation of some sort of friendship over the last few weeks. with mu qing’s snarky and sarcastic personality, not many people wanted to befriend the martial god. but in a way, pei ming was easy going and didn’t have much to say about mu qing’s sometimes childish behaviour. they had their arguments and bickerings but they never got out of hand. not like the fights he had with feng xin, anyway. 

                       “   i appreciate it.   ”  mu qing could have just told him to get away and shut up but ... he didn’t feel like it. he was advised to speak whatever he thought or felt truthfully and he was actually working on that lately. 

    and he truly appreciated the support pei ming provided to him. be it his silent one or verbal and physical. in every way, pei ming had become that person mu qing could go to. it was definitely sort of weird to think about but mu qing felt like he made a friend out of the infamous general ming guang. 

         “   i got yours, too. ---- it doesn’t mean i will not smack you the next time you call me nagging. or cute!  ”

❝ if they do it again, you tell me. ❞ to bestie

soft caring sentence compilation.

         this was embarrassing to the maximum level and qi rong initially tried to hide it as long as he can. but that wasn’t possible when they already shared a room together. if you call a cell a room, at least. the ugly bruising on qi rong’s face was too dark and too big for his hair to cover it up simply. as soon as the light hit his face, it was screaming to announce its presence and that’s how xue yang realised it. that is also how qi rong ended up telling the other about what went down. 

                     it should have been just another day where he goes by and kills time. he had learned early on that he doesn’t get along with anyone in the juvie and learned how to kept to himself as much as he could. but there were always people who tried his patience. qi rong came from a prestigious background and he surely couldn’t take people who are clearly beneath him to make fun of him. or looking for trouble. those group of idiots were looking for trouble as they kept throwing shit at qi rong’s way, some even going as far as accidentally bumping his chair while eating. enough was enough.

      BAM. qi rong threw the chair down as he rushed towards them. without thinking twice about his actions, he threw a punch at the boy who seemed to be the leader of those low-lives. 

                                                         and that’s how it began.

   the ending wasn’t as glamourous or brave as the start of it, though. because qi rong was outnumbered and quite frankly, out-powered in no time. he ended up on the floor very early only to take the beating until the guards came over to separate it. 

                     “   they won’t do it again.   ”   he doesn’t know if they will or not but he chooses to blindly believe they will not. arrogance is still there.  “   are you gonna beat them up for me? they deserve it.   ”

@halfdivinity​ from ♥

Flinching, she curls in on herself more, though stands her ground. These days she can’t afford to run from her problems, and with her leg the way it is, it isn’t like she can run even if she wanted to. Instead, she keeps her gaze low, head bowed so that she doesn’t meet his eyes.

“A-Feng,” she corrects him softly. “My name now. Is A-Feng.” Shi Qingxuan died the day she fell from grace— she’ll never be her again, regardless of whether or not she manages to ever crawl her way out of the gutters (unlikely).

“I don’t know what to think. You both tricked to me. And I fell for everything.” For a moment she dares to glance up, mouth twisting into a frown. “That… isn’t an answer. Was it real? Our friendship? Or did you… lie about everything? Even that?”

          he xuan took another look at her but it was quick and he drifted his eyes away pretty soon. though, his head was still up and his proud gesture was protected. nothing like the stance the other was taking in front of him. how brave of her to stand there and question him like this. 

                    “   do you think changing your name will be any good?   ”  what a damn joke! they had already taken he xuan’s name and fate from him. now shi qingxuan was ditching it?! wasn’t it a huge slap to the face to he xuan then?  “   you are seriously such a menace.   ”

           being accused suddenly, he xuan couldn’t help his anger and his eyes were quick to reflect that too.  “   i kept telling you! i was never your best friend! you insisted i was. nothing i can do about it! you latched yourself onto me.   ”  it wasn’t half wrong.  “   you know the answer, shi qingxuan.   ”  and he uses that name again.  “   if you hadn’t gotten in the way, i’d deal with your brother alone. you dragged yourself into it.   ”

After a moment’s hesitation, she slowly steps out from behind the tree that she not so cleverly hid herself behind— a vain attempt in hopes that he wouldn’t notice. Were she still mortal, perhaps he wouldn’t have, but power drums in her veins again, strong and sure; a divinity that she’d made herself.

She hadn’t come to see him. More to see his lair, to sneak in and perhaps find some sort of closure there. Was the dungeon still splattered with her brother’s blood? What ever happened to the Watermaster fan? Shi Fei wanted to face her fears, to assure herself her brother wasn’t going to crawl out of black waters and finish the job he started.

“Ah, Lord Blackwater! Fancy seeing you here!” She babbles with a nervous laugh, “I mean, it is your lair, but I’d heard you might be in Ghost City, or hibernating. I guess those rumors weren’t true.”

      whenever he sees her again, it’s never an emotion that he can describe or would want to relive. he had let her live and go for a reason but one that shall not be known. what a joke that she still keeps following him, though. letting her live her stolen fate and giving her fan back wasn’t enough? he xuan thought the other would at least have half the mind to never show up in front of he xuan again. then again, she didn’t know it was him who handed the fan back then. as he was in the form of hua cheng. 

           “   it is my lair. at least you know that much.   ”   how stupid could she be?! was it better to have sneaked into his lair when she thought he wasn’t there? he scoffed at the thought.  “   i don’t know who you heard those rumours from but obviously they led you falsely. now scram.   ”
