    Summary

    San Lang reached out and brushed his fingers gently across one of the flowers. “That’s all most people see, but anyone who has ever worked with roses will tell you that just under the surface…” San Lang reached his hand into the bush and snapped off a stem, bringing it up to show Xie Lian, “...lies danger.”

    Sure enough, along the length of the stem sat several large thorns. Something warm bubbled up in Xie Lian’s chest.

    “That’s really how San Lang sees me?” he asked.

    For the second time that night, San Lang took the prince’s hand. He bent down and brushed his lips across the back of it.

    “Beautiful on the surface…” he murmured before gently turning the hand over so he could see the palm. “With danger hiding just beneath.” This time his lips brushed against rough, calloused skin, but he didn’t recoil. He treated it just as reverently as he had the perfect skin on the back of Xie Lian’s hand. Like it was just as worthy. Like it was just as perfect.

    Summary

    Alas, to yearn for someone is among the most debilitating of afflictions.

    It manifests as an insatiable longing: the urge to breathe in honor of another, to revere every conversation as though it were divine, to murmur their name beneath moonlight if only to memorize the shape of it on your tongue.

    It is to press a hand against one’s chest and know the rhythm beneath is sustained by their existence alone, beating every syllable of their name in slurred, dreamlike speech. Drunk on a feeling wine could never deliver, an ecstasy forever grasped at with unbound ravenous palms.

    It is both a joy and a torment. A wound that never heals. A fire that never fades.

    Hua Cheng, the revered knight and unofficial ruler of Xianle, suffers from this very affliction, and seeks no cure.

    -----

    Or, an alternate universe where Xianle stands, Xie Lian has still been missing for centuries, and Hua Cheng is ruling a kingdom while searching for him.
