Chuu-Chuu Chamber | Kaname Date & Hong Lu

[loveauthority]

Welcome to the Chuu-Chuu Chamber!

The crew lets you into a... rather interesting bedroom, which was surely not caused by any innocent little guys being thrown earlier. Outside of the, ah, decor, there's also a large timer on the wall.

The timer starts at 5 minutes, and the crew will helpfully inform both of you that unless you start kissing, getting handsy, so and so forth before your time is up... you'll be kicked out of the room!

If you do, you'll find, the timer then starts over -- at 4 minutes!

Then 3.

Then 2...

And so on and so forth, until there isn't any time at all between activities. Better get busy!

[ Huh. That's giving him so many questions. He wants to know more, and he figures since they're here already, he might as well ask. He's still holding onto Hong Lu's face though, admiring the eye. ]

Why? Why would they do that to you?

[hongyuan]

You saw my profile, right? [ precious jade - the meaning of his name 鸿璐. ] I was our family's most valuable jewel, and so long as I have this, I never had to lift a finger for anything.

[ then, he shakes his head as he huffs out a self-deprecating laugh. ]

But of course, it all came to an end. They've all rested in eternal peace in Avīci Naraka. So you don't have to worry about that anymore if you are, Date.

[gumai]

[ Ex-Precious Jade... he doesn't know Mandarin enough to know the translation but he gets the explanation now. His hand does slide down to Hong Lu's neck, curled against the side of it and just resting there instead of continuing to cradle his face. An unconscious movement. ]

I think I'm still worried. You can't just say you lost your entire family without me worrying about you.

[ Hm. ]

Is that why you're here? A chance to spark connection after losing so much?

[hongyuan]

[ --oh. is that what he thinks? hong lu can't help but laugh, his hand reaching up to grasp date's wrist. ]

No, no, you misunderstand. My elders who were viewing everything through this eye are the ones who are no longer of this earth. My immediate family, however, are still around by miracle.

[ and he's... very thankful for it. he did it all out of his love for his little sister, after all. ]

That's a story for another time. Fufu, I'm relieved, actually. That I'm not the only one with an eye-catching background here.

[gumai]

[ Oh, that's such a relief. Date exhales, laughs a little, and nods his head. Okay, so Hong Lu isn't completely alone which... would've been sad for such a nice seeming guy. ]

I'm really glad to hear that. Family is important, after all.

[ <- A really sentimental guy right here. ]

And... eye-catching, huh? Yeah, you could say that. I —

[ Oh! The timer is beeping. They've got to ... do something or they'll be kicked out of the room. ]

... Mm, we have to kiss.

[hongyuan]

...Yes. It's important.

[ yet his eyes seem to dim at that. date's not wrong -- he did everything for xichun, and it was the help of big brother qiu that had brought his hidden sentiments back to the limelight, ready to be bloom once more like a lotus flower. but everything else outside that...

his thoughts are interrupted by the timer's incessant beeping, eyes blinking at date's sudden proposition. ]

Oh? You wish to go further than this?

[gumai]

[ Well. When he asks like that, Date goes a little flustered. Is he being pushy? N-No...! It's just...! ]

Well... it'd be a shame to come all the way here and not, ah, take advantage of the privacy, right?

[ To talk more, obviously!! ]

[hongyuan]

[ the way hong lu lets out a polite laugh. he gets it, okay. most people would gather together like this for more physical intimacy. right. ]

It'd be a shame, yes.

[ yet despite his smile, he seems to hesitate for a moment. ]

Just... one kiss should suffice, right?

[gumai]

[ Ohhh, Date catches that hesitation. On one hand, he desperately wants to kiss Hong Lu because the guy is hot and they're alone and like, come on. On the other, he doesn't want to make Hong Lu uncomfortable no matter what.

So, he squeezes him lightly with his hand and leans in, but only to bump their noses together before he smiles at Hong Lu. ]

One kiss, but we could also just leave if you want. They'll kick us out soon anyway.

[hongyuan]

[ sometimes childhood trauma will prevent him from getting physically intimate with someone right away, but all in due time. especially when it turns out that date is a gentleman after all? he's just rather vocal when it comes to his preferences and kinks.

and for that, hong lu's smile turns more genuine as he lowers his voice. ]

Then let this be my parting gift to you.

[ just one small kiss on date's lips, short and sweet, before he pulls away and stands up from the bed. ]

Come on! Let's catch up with the others.

[gumai]

[ Oh... that — Hong Lu has definitely left his heart beating a little too quickly at that. Doki doki doki... But he does smile, a bit like a dope, after the kiss and nods his head. ]

Yeah! Let's go.

[ And he'll get up from the bed to join Hong Lu, heading back into the house. ]
