I am never going to eat ice cream again.

[ Someone might have over indulged and gotten carried away and now feels sick. At least he's not alone? ]

[ He sighs under that sweet gesture, managing a small smile for the other. Only to draw in a startled breath when Xingchen rubs his stomach. But those clever fingers finding pressure points are the real magic and the pain recedes. He snuggles against Xingchen before looking up with a soft smile. ]

Thank you, A-Chen.

[Zishu has plenty of lovely muscles in his stomach and Xingchen knows how to help them relax. He returns the smile and caresses Zishu's cheek.]

Try to rest. When you wake, you'll feel much better.

[ Thanks to Xingchen, he relaxes enough to stretch out with his head on that pillow. But because he does love his soulmate, he looks to the other puddle of pathetic tails. ]

We will. Lao Wen needs you now.

[gentledawn]

I'll take care of him now. [Xingchen murmurs and steps over Zishu to kneel at Kexing's side, picking up the second cup of tea.]

[ Zishu forces himself to stay awake long enough for Xingchen to give his Lao Wen the same care and treatment. ]

jumping in!

(( Kexing's been too busy miserably lying on the floor and half drowsing to pay much attention to anything beyond his discomfort. He's nothing more than a pile of pathetic white tails and flat ears. ))

IT'S TIME. BELLY RUBBING TIME.

[gentledawn]

[Poor man! Xingchen curls an arm around Kexing and lifts him, bringing the cup to his lips. Little sips~]

Drink the tea, A-Xing. It will help.

IT'S TIME OuO

[soakedinvinegar]

(( A long whine slips from his lips as he's moved from the huddle of his tails. His ears are flat against his head and he looks a curious shade of pale green. Dark eyes brighten a little at the sight of their sweet caretaker. So, of course, he takes small sips of the proffered tea without complaint. ))

:D

[gentledawn]

[That whine just gets Kexing cuddled closer and, like he did with Zishu, Xingchen prepares himself to carry his patient to the bathroom. Feeling so sick really isn't fun and he kisses the top of Kexing's head while he drinks.]

Good. Swallow slowly.

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Kexing makes a sad sound in acknowledgement. He isn't sure there's room in his stomach for even tea to creep between the crevices of all that ice cream. ))

[gentledawn]

[He nuzzles Kexing's soft ears and drips the tea onto his tongue. Just a little at a time. When the cup is empty, he lays his hand on Kexing's stomach, seeking out the pressure points to help those poor tense muscles relax.]

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Oh how he whines! But Xingchen's hands are gentle and he can feel their warmth through his robes as they work to lessen the tension. That alone will probably ease a lot of his suffering. Eventually, he begins to relax more under those deft hands. ))

[gentledawn]

[The whines are met with either a kiss or a caress. Xingchen won't leave his A-Xing like this. The tension is at least sixty percent of the problem and he sends waves of healing through his fingertips as he seeks out each pressure point.]

Breathe deep...

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Kexing does as instructed, taking in a long deep breath and letting it out slowly. His eyes flutter open and he peers over at Xingchen with a grateful expression. ))

[gentledawn]

[What a sweet face! Xingchen bends down and nuzzles their noses together, whispering:]

Rest, A-Xing. I'll stay and watch over you and A-Shu.

[soakedinvinegar]

(( He whines quietly, for drama, but returns that adorable nuzzle. ))

Thank you, A-Chen.

[gentledawn]

[He strokes over Kexing's hair and peeks over at Zishu.]

When you wake, a warm bath will help, I think.

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Kexing makes a soft purring sound at the pets and nods. ))


I'll make sure A-Xu knows.

[fated_dance]

[ Zishu had managed to doze a little as Xingchen worked on Kexing, but hearing his soulmate call for him tugs him back to blinking sleepily at them. ]

Mm....?

[soakedinvinegar]

Nap. Then bath.

[gentledawn]

I'll draw it when you wake. [Xingchen reassures, reaching across Kexing to stroke Zishu's cheek.] Just relax.

[fated_dance]

[ He smiles and hums again before nuzzling Xingchen's hand. ]

Sounds nice.

[ Zishu wiggles just enough to curl up against his soulmate though before letting himself drift back off. They're safe with Xingchen around. ]

[soakedinvinegar]

So good to us, A-Chen.

(( Kexing flashes him a tired smile and nestles close to Zishu, the tips of his tails ticking gently now that he's not suffering. ))

[gentledawn]

It will be. [Xingchen draws a blanket over the both of them, smiling softly at those tails.]

I love you both. [And he will keep watch over them, sitting near while they sleep. When they start to rouse, he will rise and prepare the bath.]

[fated_dance]

[ With the pain having eased off, Zishu settles against his mate's warmth and his tails drape over Kexing, twitching a little here and there as he dozes.

Perhaps an hour passes before he blinks awake next, humming and nudging his nose against his beloved's neck. Xingchen's protection has him smile when he spies the sweet rabbit. ]
