While LiYun was with AiLin in hopes to make things right, both Kong and Jing sat in the kitchen. Jing was sitting on the counter while Kong sat at the table.
''Do you think they will make up'' Jing asked, looking at Kong.
''I don't know, but I do hope so'' Kong sighed as he looked down.
Jing jumped down off the counter and walked over to Kong wrapping his arms around his neck ''I do as well'' he said softly.
Kong pulled Jing to his lap and held him tightly ''Can I sleep with you tonight'' he asked.
Jing laughed and ran his hand through his hair ''Don't you already? You don't have to ask.''
''That's not what I meant Jing'' Kong said looking up at him.
''Kong'' Jing said. He got up and walked back over to the counter hanging his head.
Kong stood up and went over to him hugging him from behind ''I'm sorry, I should not have asked that. Forgive me, Jing'' he said softly, holding him close.
''It's not your fault. It's mine'' Jing sighed and turned to look at him ''I'm sorry for not giving you everything.'' He placed a hand on Kong's cheek.
''As long as you give me your heart then I will be fine with that. You have nothing to be sorry for, it is neither mine nor your fault. It's all HIS fault'' Kong said with anger in his voice.
Jing hugged Kong tightly ''That's enough. No need to talk about him anymore. I am here with you now. Everything is fine now'' he said trying to calm Kong down.
Kong held Jing tightly ''It's not fine, Jing. There are spots on you that I am not allowed to touch. You won't even dare change in front of me.'' Kong pulled away from Jing ''You can't let him keep you from giving yourself to someone that truly loves you. It's not fair to yourself, but it's also not fair to me.''
Kong sighed making his way to his room leaving Jing in the kitchen. Kong shut his door and sat against it leaning his head back. He knew Jing had a troubled past with another God but he had simply wished to erase all of that and help him start anew. Kong got up and went to his bed laying down. He would rather deal with his nightmares then cause pain to the one he loved.
Jing stood there for the longest time then sat at the table and held his head in his hands. He heard footsteps behind him. When he turned and looked he saw LiYun who was only wearing a pair of sleep pants.
''Fighting with Kong already'' he said leaning against the counter.
''Made up with Ai yet'' he countered back.
''In fact I have'' he smiled then walked over and sat next to Jing. ''What's going on'' he asked ''The last time I have seen you this down was a long time ago.'' He knew better then to bring HIM up.
''Kong wants to sleep with me'' he said looking at the table.
LiYun laughed ''Doesn't he already'' he asked. When he looked at him he saw Jing giving him a pissed off look ''Oh, you mean that kind of sleep.'' LiYun chuckled as he grabbed an apple ''You can't let what happened stop you from giving yourself to the one you love, Jing.''
Jing looked at him ''Kong said the same thing.''
''Then he is right. What happened is the past was bad, but you have to move on.'' LiYun stood up and patted him on the back ''If you love Kong then that should be enough to help you move on. I trust him, so should you.'' LiYun walked about to his room and shut the door.
Jing sat there for a long time. He knew they were both right. Jing reached down touching his left side. Sometimes he could still feel the pain, but when he is with Kong it's like it never happened. Jing got up and walked to his room but stopped and went to Kong's room instead. He stood there staring at the door.
Jing knocked a few times. Kong opened the door shocked to see Jing standing there. Jing looked up at him then walked inside. Kong shut the door and looked at him.
''Is something wrong'' Kong asked as he made his way over to Jing.
Jing shook his head and met Kong halfway throwing his arms around him hugging him tightly ''Touch me and make the pain go away, Kong'' he said softly holding onto him.
''Jing'' Kong said holding him close ''I didn't say any of that to make you feel like you have give yourself to me.''
''I know, but I want to'' Jing said, taking a few steps back and taking his shirt off, tossing it to the side.
Kong looked at him. He could see every scar that was left on his body by that jerk. Just thinking about him pissed Kong off, but now seeing what he had done to him, Kong wanted to kill the guy. He slowly walked over to Jing who was looking at him. He reached out and laid the tip of his fingers against the worst of the scars that laid on the left side.
Jing flinched but didn't stop him. Kong picked Jing up and laid him on the bed. He ran his fingers over every scar on his body. Jing covered his eyes with his arm. He felt so embarrassed. Kong was the first one to see him that way since it all happened. Kong moved his arm off his face and looked down at him.
''Stop hiding, if you want me to stop just say so and I will. I don't want to force you to do something you're not ready for'' he said, placing a hand on his face ''You mean to much to me.'' He moved to sit on the edge of the bed.
Jing sat up and looked at him then moved over and hugged him from behind ''And you mean so much to me as well'' he said turning Kong's head to face him. He kissed him softly. If he was to give himself to anyone, it would be Kong.
Kong turned and wrapped his arms around Jing as he kissed him deeply. He slowly laid Jing back down and kissed his way to his neck and down his chest. He stopped at the first scar then looked up at Jing who nodded at him. Kong placed a soft kiss on it as he lightly ran his fingers over the rest of him. Jing started to feel as if Kong was washing away everything that happened with every touch and kiss he gave.
Jing sat up slowly and reached for Kong's shirt pulling it off him. When he did he saw the scars that were given to him by the ones that hurt him as a child. How could he have forgotten the pain Kong also went through? Jing reached out and touched one of the long scars that ran across his chest. The pain he must have felt.
Jing leaned over and kissed the scar softly. Kong watched him as he did. They had both been through so much in the past, yet Kong never let it stop him from getting what he wanted. Jing looked up at him only to have Kong look back at him and smile.
''Even I am covered by scars but I don't care at this moment, because it's you that is looking at me. No one else'' he leaned down and kissed Jing deeply pulling him on top of him.
Jing sat on his lap and kissed him back running his hands down Kong's chest. Kong placed his hands on Jing's back and held him close as he kissed his neck. Jing closed his eyes leaning his head back. Kong softly clawed at his back which sent shivered down Jing's spin. Jing blushed and bit his lip as he tried hard not to let any sound out.
Kong smiled and pulled him closer letting him feel how turned on he was now. Jing blushed more as he looked down at him. Kong leaned up a bit and kissed him biting onto Jing's lip and pulled it. Jing smiled and wrapped his arms around him. Kong wanted him so bad but he was still holding back for Jing's sake.
''I told you I'm not going to force you. If you don't want to it's fine'' Kong whispered to him.
''Shut up. I'm not backing down anymore so deal with it. I'm here with you willing to give you all of me. So just take it already'' Jing said kissing him deeply and grinding against him.
Kong groaned and flipped him over to his back. Kong kissed every inch of Jing and explored him as well. They spent the whole night exploring one another and forgetting their pasts. Jing laid there after sleeping on his stomach as Kong sat there rubbing his back and watching him sleep. Jing rolled over moving close to Kong. He smiled and held him close.
''No one is going to hurt you again'' he said softly as he kissed his forehead. ''You're mine, remember that.''
The next morning Kong got up before Jing and went to the kitchen. AiLin was there cooking. He looked around and didn't see LiYun.
''Where's the stupid Dragon at'' he said sitting on the table.
''Sleeping. He never gets up early, you know that'' AiLin said looking at him ''And Jing?''
Kong rubbed the back of his head and blushed ''Sleeping as well. We had a long night'' he said chuckling.
''I see'' AiLing laughed softly and went back to cooking. ''Thank you by the way.''
Kong looked at him confused ''For what?''
''Bringing LiYun back'' he said turning around ''I know it wasn't your place to but still.''
''It was our fault for not saying anything to you about the truth. Him leaving was his fault instead of staying and talking it out, but as his friend and yours, I didn't want to see either of you hurt'' Kong said, playing with an apple. He got off the table and walked over to AiLin and hugged him ''You're family now and family sticks together.''
''Excuse me'' a voice from behind Kong said ''What do you think you are doing with Ai?''
Kong turned around and smiled at LiYun.
''Oh, you're awake'' he said moving behind AiLin and hugging him again around his waist then whispered in his ear then ran down the hall.
LiYun growled and went after him only to have AiLin stop him by kissing his cheek and hugging him ''Calm down, Li'' he said softly.
LiYun stopped and looked down at him ''What did he say to you'' he demanded to know.
''He said since we are family it was my job to keep you from always going after him and I agree'' AiLin said laughing
LiYun pinned AiLin to the counter and leaned down ''How do you plan on stopping me'' He asked.
AiLin smiled and placed his hands on LiYun's waist pulling him close. He then ran his hands up LiYun's bare chest and wrapped his arms around his neck. LiYun groaned softly and pulled him close, kissing him deeply. AiLin kissed him back, running his hands through his hair.
LiYun pulled back and sighed ''Shit, fine you win this time, my little Fox'' LiYun reached over and turned the stove off then picked AiLin up and threw him over his shoulder carrying him to the bedroom.
AiLin looked down the hall and saw Kong laughing as he waved. AiLin sighed and shook his head ''If you let me finish cooking you can kill Kong'' he said trying to wiggle free.
LiYun locked the door behind him and tossed AiLin on the bed pulling his shirt off ''Nope, it's too late now. You shouldn't have started this'' LiYun went straight for AiLin's neck.
''I regret nothing'' he said holding him close and smiling.
