[ No one has ever told Jiang Cheng they were proud of him; not his father, not his mother, not even his sister, not really. Praise had been heaped on Wei Wuxian for his talents, on Jiang Yanli for her perfect, but Jiang Cheng? He was too rude, too crude, too harsh, too weak in comparison. He had never, ever been good enough, never been enough for anyone, and it's a struggle to reconcile that with the man he's become now.
The kisses ground him and drag him out of those thoughts, out of the vile way his mind speaks to him and makes him want to crumble into pieces, demanding that he focus instead on the way that Wei Wuxian is kissing him. If anyone was to walk out to find them now it would be shameful, embarrassing, but he doesn't care, doesn't even think about it, because this is all he wants.
Wei Wuxian is all he wants.
Blinking, cheeks flushed red, lips sore, eyes lidded, Jiang Cheng feels weightless, feels happy. He licks his own lips, the two of them looking at each other, gazing at each other, before he looks away, embarrassed. It's the way he always is, not able to face his own emotions, not able to face the way that his heart is racing inside his chest, thudding so loud he's sure someone can hear it. ]
You... Shut up.
[ A gentle shove against his chest - gentle, because even with a new core, Wei Wuxian is not the strong man he used to be.
Blinking back his tears, his grief, he breathes out softly. ]
