Aaron/Huaisang

It's nightfall by the time Aaron finally sees this "Impure Realm" that they took him to. He's hungry. He's filthy. He's thirsty. And there's nothing around him that's familiar. He has cigarettes in the pocket of his jeans and nothing else of his own. No note. No information.

Only the vaguely unsettling feeling that he's been deposited somewhere...wrong.

These people look like Huaisang. The robes, the way they move...it's familiar enough that, before they could unsheath their swords, he's throwing his hands out, asking for Nie Huaisang to their complete bafflement. But they loaded him up and took him. Goddamn.

Hopefully they sent someone ahead.

Huaisang loves connecting with Aaron like this, understanding and learning his qi as he spools it into his golden core and cycles it back out. It's all yang energy, no yin, dark and deep and roaring in his veins like the way all of Aaron's passions occupy his mind. It's beautiful, it makes him tremble.

Aaron loves connecting with him in return, though he has no name or conscious awareness of it. What he does have is a feeling. A great feeling, and rocks his hips up into him as he kisses along his jaw and mouth.

He cups the back of Aaron's head and tries to bring their lips together for a kiss, groaning softly into his mouth as he feeds qi back into him. "Aaron," he groans, "Aaron, you make your A-Sang feel so good."

He bits at his lip and draws him close. "I love you," he murmurs, raising his hips up into him, rocking close. "Ah, I'm going to fill you up."

"I love you. I love you." He lets his head fall against Aaron's shoulder, mouthing against his skin as he starts to get greedy with how much he takes from him. He fucks himself hard and fast, takes his qi and lets it fill him, soft groans beginning to get more and more broken.

Aaron spends himself after a moment, rocking up into him with a cry as he bites down into his shoulder, kissing and nipping the skin just after.

"Oh fuck," he whispers, taking Huaisang's cock in his hand.

Huaisang presses his mouth against Aaron’s neck in an open-mouth kiss, sucking a red mark against his skin greedily as he bounces against his still-hard cock. He draws from his qi again, filling himself up in as many ways as possible as he comes between them.

He reaches down and grips his ass with his other hand, watching his face with a grin. "I love you," he moans.

Huaisang leans against his shoulder, gasping softly and smiling as he draws a quick array on husband’s back. It keeps the lightness between them going, pushing them both just a little further along in that sweet, blissful feeling.

“I love you,” he smiles. “I hate that I have to go.”

When he's finally spent, over and over again, finally exhausted, he laughs. "You'll be back soon, A-Sang. Don't worry. It will be like you never left."

He knows it's true, but he can't help but feel a little nagging pull of worry to be apart from him. But he's being silly, of course, nothing could possibly happen. Aaron will have Nie guards with him, and then after that he'll have Er-ge, one of the strongest cultivators of the age. Nothing will happen.

"You'll miss me so much," he sighs, sitting up. "I can tell. Don't worry, my baobei, I'll return as quickly as I can."

"I know, I know," he assures him. "But you should go now, before I decide to fuck you again."

He gives him a quick kiss, helps him pull his trousers up, and sits back to enjoy the rest of his work.

It's enough of a playful threat that it distracts Huaisang's mind from his worries. He kisses him back, straightens his hair, and goes off to his rooms to get ready for his trip to Yungmeng. He still doesn't ride the sword as most cultivators do, so that means a long journey on horseback.

He leaves a few treats for Aaron in their rooms - on the bed a little flower, on the table a small painting of a crane, and in their wardrobe a brand-new set of robes made specifically for Aaron and his tastes. He's his Nie Furen; he needs to dress to impress.

Aaron decides to wear the new robes the next day. Even though Huaisang is gone, there are still matters of their home to attend to, and there are things his Nie Furen can and should tend to.

They have to prepare for Zewu-Jun's arrival, something that he really isn't looking forward to. Playing the diplomat really cuts into his studies, but it at least keeps him occupied.

Perhaps a little too occupied.

The Nie guards are typically steadfast and courageous, and very, very reliable, especially when politely threatened by their small but intimidating sect leader, but they do allow their Nie Furen to go off on his own when he's visiting an herbal shop he's visited over a dozen times before. They wait outside and chat, laughing and joking with each other without a care in the world. This is an easy assignment!

They don't happen to notice the nervous disposition of the shop clerk, his careful checking of the back doors and then the blocking of the front entrance.

They might not notice, but Aaron does. He's attuned specifically to the nonverbal cues of people around him, which has kept him alive for a very long time. It makes him feel uneasy, but he's arrogant enough now to not think that it can be that bad.

He walks between the aisles, plucking a vial of dang shen and another of bai shao. He places them on the counter, watching the clerk with narrowed eyes.

"Something happening today?" he asks, tilting his head, but the man barely stammers out an answer. Aaron huffs.

"I need three more of these," he demands, taking out one of the tablets. "Do you have it?"

"Yes," he answers quickly. "Yes, just - just in the back. Come - come with me."

The clerk bows as he steps around the table, then bows again as he walks towards the door, then pauses mid-bow as he pushes open the door to the back room. "This humble one apologizes, Nie Furen, I should have had these tablets out and ready for purchase. I don't have my apprentice today."

He walks inside, disappearing into the oddly-dim back room that smells strongly of a mix of very potent herbs.

It's a familiar smell. Aaron keeps his head up and waves a hand, dismissive and aloof. But he does follow, right into the back, right into the waiting hands of people who very much intend him harm.

The two men who have been waiting for the Nie Furen have heard about his impressive stature and form. He isn't a cultivator, and he isn't trained with the saber either - all they need to do is overpower him, which they do as soon as the clerk slides the door shut. One of the men go for Aaron's head, wrapping a hand around his throat and squeezing as the other attempts to throw a bag over his head.

They don't say a word, and won't until their target is finally under their control. It's a murmured exchanging of money - the clerk gets his share, and the much take their prize out through the back of the shop, one of them throwing him over their shoulder like a bag of turnips.

Aaron goes very still the moment the hand goes around his neck. He doesn't fight, doesn't try and lash out, but he memorizes their faces just before th bag goes over his head.

They carry him out and he makes himself into dead weight, trying to be as obnoxious as possible.

He waits and he's silent and he plots, and by the time they're at their location, he has yet to say a single worxd, even in protest.

The kidnappers are rough with the Nie Furen, jostling him around, throwing him into the back of a rough, wooden cart, throwing the odd punch into his muscle-hardened abs once they're two or three bottles in on the wine.

And they talk. They've heard that Nie Furen doesn't know much of their language, or at least he couldn't possibly understand their dialect. They're from far down south, far enough that their accents should be strange enough to his ears to not understand. They're also drunk, and fairly convinced that Nie Furen won't be alive to report any of things he might overhear.

"He's pretty, don't you think? I didn't know what to expect."

"Nie Zongzhu is a collector of art. They said he'd spent half the gold in the Nie reserves on paintings!"

"I hope that's not true. I want the money."

"My point is, of course he's going to be beautiful. Did you see his eyes? It was dark, but I could tell they were green."

"You're an idiot, they were blue."

"No, green!"

"Blue! I can prove it. Remove the blindfold - we can look."

"He'll talk, we should gag him."

Aaron endures the hits but stays silent. And whatever residual magic that's sat with him for so long makes it easy for him to identify the words. They come through, loud and clear.

He pushes himself up, feeling ill, feeling everything terrible as he struggles to put a cap on his own emotions.

As they argue, he sighs, sitting up straight. "They're blue," he says gently, sitting back. Demure and coy. "Come and see. You can gag me if you want."

The men exchange glances, a 'guess he knows more than we thought' and a 'should we still try and fuck around with him'? In the end the two drunken criminals agree that it's more entertaining to try and poke at the foreigner.

They'll gag him, that's the first thing they'll do. They decide with another nod between them which one of them will do it.

They don't see that Aaron is stronger than he might initially present.

They do gag him but he gets their position and lurches forward, ramming his forehead into the man's nose, bringing his tied hands up around his neck to push his face into his knee.

The one that Aaron happens to assault also happens to be the bigger of the two of them. He reels back with a sharp cry and then a whine, broken nose pouring blood over his clothes as he falls back.

The other one quickly lunges for Aaron with a swear on his lips, grabbing him and quickly slamming his head and body repeatedly into the floor.

"You'll regret doing that!"
