dollymixtures | Oh, oh, oh it's magic (Xie and Kevin)

xie_er posting in

Zhao Jing used to be a nobody, born into influence and wealth but always in the shadow of those around him. In magical circles he was even worse, a barely-remembered witch that didn't have enough power for any familiar to even consider looking twice at him.

Somehow, though, after many years (and a few suspicious deaths), he's managed to climb his way to the CEO of Five Lakes, his power - of both kinds - growing exponentially.

The previous CEO was surrounded by some unfortunate rumorus before his death, so Zhao Jing has been focused on repairing the reputation of he company and solidifying his support, mundane and magical, which means it is far too delicate a moment for Xie to be in the spotlight, even if he was promised he'd be allowed to stop hiding when the position was in Zhao Jing's hands.

He just has to wait a little longer, that's all, and it's not like it's difficult to only appear in his animal form whenever Zhao Jing is in public, just uncomfortable, and the last thing they need is for somebody to recognise Xie for any of the things he's done to help his witch get where he is today, when his position is still so precarious...

He tells himself all the excuses he's heard from Yifu, repeats them in his head like a mantra as he sits through all the meetings and negotiations, a little black cat and Zhao Jing's feet, watching the men and women he's speaking to for anything Yifu can use. He hangs around when Zhao Jing steps out the room, listens to what they say behind his back - that's his job with normal people, to be a pair of ears they don't realise are there. Even paranoid types who scan for bugs would miss him, which he finds funny, privately, because he is a bug of a sort.

Not that he's allowed to take his original animal form - a scorpion would be out of place if anybody caught sight of him, and Yifu doesn't like the idea of him hiding in pockets or anything like that. He says it's dangerous, that something could happen to him, but Xie privately thinks he just finds the form creepy. Even around other magical people, the cat is preferred - his job with them is to be a reminder that Zhao Jing has a familiar, and a relatively powerful one at that.

It's hard for familiars to change the form they can take, but he did it, for Yifu.

He tells people the cat is called Scorpion, and that somebody else named him - which is technically true, Xie does mean scorpion, and his parents named him - and that he's vaguely embarrassed to have such a fiercely named cat.

(He doesn't tell magical people anything at all, they know Xie isn't a pet so they're less likely to ask, at most they will wonder why his familiar always stays in animal form. Zhao Jing just tells them he's shy. He isn't, he doesn't care about people seeing him, but it's easier to do the things Yifu wants him to do when nobody knows what he looks like)

Xie hadn't always known he was powerful - when Yifu had taken him in he'd been told he wasn't much, but that maybe he could be useful. Later, when some witch had made an offhand comment about it, the story had become that Yifu recognised his power and took him in before anybody else could steal him away, that he just wanted to protect Xie from the people who would use him for his power. Xie was already so far gone by that point that he accepted it, that he told himself he was lucky he had Yifu to protect him, to guide him.

It's funny how easy it is to lie to yourself.

When the meetings are over for the day he finally shifts back to human form, spending a few minutes stretching out the kinks that come from forcing himself into a form that isn't quite his, especially with how much he's had to do it over the last few weeks, and then going in search of something to eat. He could probably just head back to his own apartment since he doesn't think Yifu needs anything else from him, not today, but the outsiders have all left and everybody in Yifu's manor at least knows Xie, even if they don't know that Xie and Scorpion are one and the same, so it's safe to be around them.

He likes to spend as much time here as he can get away with, likes to remind Yifu he can be useful in other ways... and maybe he likes to keep an eye on this new apprentice Yifu has taken on. He doesn't understand why he needs anybody else when he has Xie, but the last time he'd questioned somebody new in the house Yifu hadn't spoken to him for a week, so he doesn't voice that thought out loud - he just watches the guy suspiciously every chance he gets, and wonders how easy he would be to get rid of.

He's halfway to the kitchen when something makes him stop. A tug of power, the vague echo of chanting, there's a ritual happening and something about it is drawing him close. He frowns, confused, and follows the pull...

"Oh..." Xie is so taken with Kevin's words that he breathes his response out loud, staring down at him with slightly wide eyes. It's so, so different to any experience he's had before that he's a little stunned by it for a moment.

He swallows hard at that grip on his thigh and nods, not quite trusting himself to speak in either voice for a moment. When he finally does manage it, it's a little strained - in a good way.

"Okay."

"I want that too. Please." He adds through the link

From:

Kevin breathes out a soft laugh, smiling at him with a sense of good-natured triumph. He managed to knock the words out of Xie before Xie got him.

He manages finally to get enough control over his muscles to push Xie off him, rolling over so their positions are reversed, Kevin leaning over Xie before lowering himself to kiss him once on the mouth, before trailing a determined path down jaw, neck and chest. The hand that was on Xie's thigh stays there, tracing light circles that just tease the edge of his destination.

For once, he's not talking. He's concentrating on Xie's reactions at every move.

From:

Xie settles back against the bed, one hand threading into Kevin's hair as he starts to trail down. He tilts his head back, letting his eyes fall closed so he can just enjoy the sensations.

It feels agonisingly good, Kevin hasn't even touched his dick and he already feels a little crazy. He didn't know it could feel like this.

From:

weird_cop

Kevin presses a series of kisses down Xie's abs, telling him again how beautiful he is, marvelling at the softness of his skin. By the time he is gently licking Xie's navel, he is lightly cupping his balls, fingers tracing them while his thumb teases the base of his cock.

As he scoots his legs back along the bed he can feel himself growing unbearably hard, without even being touched. So he continues down, until his lips are just grazing Xie's tip.

From:

xie_er

Xie bites back a moan, his grip tightening a little in Kevin's hair as his other hand digs into the sheets. His hips jerk at the first contact of Kevin's thumb against his cock and it takes all his effort not to thrust upwards at the touch of his lips.

It's almost torturous how slow he's taking it and Xie lets out a needy whine before he can stop himself, cheeks flushing red at how desperate he sounds.

From:

weird_cop

Kevin hums out a mini laugh, letting the vibrations of that translate through his lips. But he gets the hint. Pressing his lips fully against the shaft of Xie's dick, he runs wet kisses all the way down one side and then, pushing his head against Xie's stomach, runs his tongue back up the other. Once, then again, moistening the whole thing with his saliva before his fingers close around the base.

"You taste so good."

From:

xie_er

Another bitten-off moan is all the reply Kevin gets because Xie isn't really capable of words right now. He's so desperately hard already that he genuinely doesn't know how much more of this he can take - nobody else has ever given his dick this much attention.

It's not just the stimulation, though, it's the care, it's the way he can tell Kevin is genuinely enjoying himself, that he's getting almost as much out of this as Xie is. It's the compliment he isn't entirely sure he believes and yet he knows Kevin isn't lying.

From:

weird_cop

Kevin's other hand reaches around, snaking under Xie's back to nest in the curve back there, as he opens his mouth finally and starts working his way down, swallowing him bit by bit.

He doesn't waste time, though, pausing only to adjust and breathe as he takes Xie entirely into his mouth.

"Tell me if you want this differently."

He suspects Xie is happy to take it, but he's happy to change pace or technique at any time.

From:

xie_er

Asking for anything different would require being capable of thought and Xie is very much not that right now.

Being fulled wrapped in the warmth of Kevin's mouth is almost making him see stars, it's incredible. Now he knows why people enjoy blow jobs so much because holy shit. He almost comes right there and then, but he manages to hold off. He's on a knife-edge, though, and he doesn't know how to stop himself from coming embarrassingly quickly.

From:

weird_cop

Kevin takes the silence as what it means, and runs with the implicit permission to keep going - although he does not have any particular interest in helping Xie hold off.

He moves his head up again, teasing with his tongue, working his lips firmly, running his mouth up until he can flick the tip of his tongue against the end of Xie's dick before slipping back down again, working his pace up, because dammit he's about ready to lose it from this.

From:

xie_er

When Kevin picks up the pace, Xie loses all ability to hold onto his control. He just about manages to keep his hips from jerking so much he thrusts up into Kevin's mouth, but he can't stop himself from coming.

He manages a stammered cry of Kevin's name as warning, but that's all, his grip on the sheets tightening so hard his knuckles turn white.

From:

weird_cop

Kevin has enough warning to still, hold his mouth in place, and expertly swallow up every last drop that Xie puts out, his own hands holding Xie's hips gently, in case they need to stop him from actually choking.

He holds him in his mouth until Xie is entirely done, and then eases his mouth off gently, running the kisses right back up his stomach and chest to reach his mouth again.

"You taste amazing."

From:

xie_er

He can taste himself on Kevin's lips and that's... strange and thrilling and oddly addictive, he's glad (again) of the link for communication because he doesn't want to stop kissing him.

"That felt amazing. Thank you" It sounds clumsy and stupid to his mind, but he has to say something and he hasn't really regained his senses for anything more coherent, all his barriers and second-guessing stripped away to just leave raw honesty.

His grip loosens from the sheets and he lifts his hand, sliding it down Kevin's chest, tracing over his abs before dipping lower and curling around his cock.

From:

weird_cop

"You're welcome."

Kevin's too busy kissing to smile, but he puts every ounce of this smile into his tone instead, shifting just slightly to his side to let Xie do what he wants to.

It felt amazing to him, too. He's so ready for attention that he practically leaps into Xie's hands, yearning for the contact.

From:

xie_er

He feels bad that he's too boneless and satisfied to do much more than this, but since Kevin doesn't seem to be complaining he doesn't push himself for more right now, just focuses on finding a good rhythm, slipping his other hand from his hair to drag nails lightly down the back of his neck, leaning in to kiss along his jaw. He can't get enough of touching Kevin every way he can, so he does.

From:

weird_cop

There is absolutely no need to do anything else right now, either. Kevin wraps his hand around Xie's back, pulls Xie close enough to be holding him without interfering with any of his work, breathing through his mouth close enough to watch his breath move the sweat on Xie's forehead.

He can't find anything to say that isn't how much he loves this, and he doesn't have time to form any coherent sentences anyway, before he's coming quickly and messily onto his own stomach.

"Xie," he breathes, unsure if he's saying it out loud or through the link.

From:

xie_er

It's echoed, as though he says it through both, and Xie doesn't think he's ever heard his name said quite like that. Abruptly, he seizes Kevin's face between his hands (one is, admittedly, a little sticky, but he isn't thinking about that) and drags him in for a kiss, passionate and urgent and trying to find a way to say without words just how he's feeling in that moment.

When he finally releases him, breathless and flushed, he smiles hesitantly. He's on the verge of apologising but decides to stop himself, instead he just strokes Kevin's cheek gently with his thumb.

"That was..." he starts softly, trailing off as he tries to find the right words.

From:

weird_cop

Kevin breathes out another soft laugh, not meaning to be mean in the slightest, just caught up in the joy of seeing Xie have this experience.

"...Good?" He completes.

"Welcome to the world in which good sex actually exists."

From:

xie_er

There's a part of him that wants to get defensive, that wants to pretend he's absolutely experienced good sex before... but he hasn't, nothing like this, and he wants to tell himself it's because of the link but he knows full well that he's just used to far more selfish lovers.

He's too sated, and happy, to let that part of him win, so instead he just leans in again for another lazy kiss.

"I'd like to spend a lot of time in this world"

From:

weird_cop

Both. It's both. There's sex with a meaningful connection where you look after each other and there's... this.

Kevin kisses him back, tender and just as lazy.

"That can be arranged," he says. "I'd like to do that again, certainly."

From:

xie_er

Xie huffs a gentle laugh.

"And a lot more than that, as I recall." He says, amused. He's more than happy to work their way down Kevin's list. Several times over, if necessary.

"Right now, though, we should get you cleaned up" He adds softly.

From:

weird_cop

"And a lot more than that," Kevin concedes. But he also concedes the second point, kissing Xie again before edging to the edge of the bed.

He catches Xie's hand in his as he goes, though.

"You want to come?"

From:

xie_er

He's not so needy he has to go everywhere Kevin does, he can give him his own space.

But if he's offering...

Xie smiles softly and nods, using their joined hands to pull himself up so he can follow Kevin to the bathroom.

From:

weird_cop

Kevin tugs him gently into the bathroom, where he discovers to his pleasure that they have both a bath and a separate stand up shower, into which he pulls Xie.

Just as the water starts he wraps his arms around Xie's shoulders for a long kiss.

From:

xie_er

Xie had already seen the bathroom when he put his products away earlier, but now he eyes up the bath tub, contemplating the size of it - until he's quickly distracted by being pulled into the shower.

He curls his arms around Kevin's waist, stepping in close to just enjoy the kiss. He's trying to keep his hair out of the water, because once it gets wet it's a whole thing, but it's hard to think about that and kiss, and he knows which one he'd rather be doing.
