[ It's dim enough that Hei can't catch her flush. But it doesn't matter, because there's a snatch of tenderness here that he's seldom directly experienced before. He's faked it plenty, sure, but always with a cold-blooded goal in mind. But this is one layer away from honest -- a fact that's unnerving in itself. Something that's about touch and warmth, about the physicality of it, instead of the release. The gentle susurration of sheets, the soft purls of noise in his throat, the softer kisses. Like this is genuine. Like they have all the time in the world. ]
[ Like they're young. ]
[ Except young doesn't carry any of the suitable connotations for Hei -- too much of bloodshed, too much of pain tangled in that word. But -- maybe new. Loose limbs and hourglass curves clinging to his taut angles: a knot of unsolved equations and unknown variables. Like all new theories, untried, untested. Likely untrue. But Hei's lower-lip is caught against his teeth in a smile, anyway, and there's a burgeoning heat in his gaze as he begins to move just a bit harder, nudging tight against her clit, pressing her against the mattress. Just barely rocking, almost no motion at all, but with a gentle lapping rise of sensation like those radiating circles in the water. ]
