[Once he's parted ways with Xue Yang and had a chance to clean himself up, Huaisang makes his way back to the main entrance to retrieve the remaining gift bags. After dropping Lan Xichen's off outside his door, Huaisang heads to the room he shares with Wei Wuxian.]
Wei-xiong? Are you here? Someone's left something for you.
[Wei Wuxian was playing around with various things he found in the new place. Mostly kitchen tools he was trying to figure out how they worked and what they might be for.]
[Huaisang smiles, gaze softening with fondness at his experimenting, and offers the bag.]
I don't know. I haven't looked inside it yet. I only went through mine. The puppets seem to be handing out presents now. Maybe there's something nice in yours.
[He'll leave out the rather ghastly surprise that'd been in his own. The matter's been dealt with already.]
[He reached out to take the bag straightening up properly so he can go through it. He pulled various items out seeming to be indifferent to them and unsure what they were even for.
Finally, he pulled out something he did recognize.]
Oh! Well, this isn't something I've seen in a long time.
[Now he was sitting with Chenqing in hand, surrounded by sex toys, and vibrating but plugs with various sizes and accessories.]
[Huaisang glances over at the bag's contents, his eyes straying between the flute in Wei Wuxian's hands and the assortment of other items. Without asking, he reaches over and picks up one of the butt plugs, inspecting it curiously.]
Is that Chenqing? I've heard of it but I don't recall ever seeing it.
[At the celebration after Sunshot that he'd attended with his brother, maybe, but most of that party was a blur. He vaguely remembers a garden, singing to a bird in his hand, and a couple of empty jars of liquor but not much else. Looking back, even then he'd been mostly alone.]
[He'd 'fainted' before seeing Suibian unsheathed and before that little gathering in Jin Guangyao's treasure room, his knowledge of its contents had been secondhand, at best.
He squeezes the butt plug a couple of times before putting it down and picking up another one.]
Well, it's good that it's here, isn't it? You're not unarmed.
[Huaisang's sect is pragmatic and martially inclined. His brother had placed such emphasis on him learning proper saber cultivation that Huaisang tends not to think of talismans as a weapon. Ironically, talisman magic is one of the few areas of cultivation that Huaisang is actually skilled.
He holds up another butt plug, leaning in toward Wei Wuxian to better show it to him.]
I think they're toys to be used during sex. I'm not sure what some of them do but I think this one goes inside... back here.
[Blushing slightly, Huaisang pats Wei Wuxian's rear end. He's gotten a lot better with more time and contact but he still has his shy moments when plainly discussing things.]
[Wei Wuxian had spent so much time now unable to even use a sword or much spiritual power that he didn't think about it very much. He wasn't going to try and throw around demonic cultivation like he had before, and so far they hadn't really been in danger.]
Toys...?
[He made a bit of a sound at the pad at his rear, but his confused expression continued.]
In where?
[In this case, the brilliant Wei Wuxian, really needed it spelled out for him.]
After taking a moment to steel his nerve, Huaisang wedges his finger between Wei Wuxian's cheeks as much as he can through the cloth, pressing the tip down on approximately where his opening would be.]
It's hard to explain. It'd be easier to demonstrate. But it'll feel good. It might seem weird at first but it's important to relax so it doesn't hurt.
[His face is red and he can't even say why this is so much more embarrassing for him than Xue Yang stripping him naked and teasing him in the middle of the street had been.]
I.. I promise I'll be really careful if you'll let me. And if it's too much, I'll stop right away. I promise I will.
[He wasn't completely sure about it, but, he also felt like I was missing some crucial puzzles. A part of him also felt like he was being left behind by those around him. So he really did need to step up and learn more!]
If you say it will, I trust you.
[Whether Huaisang's experiences were more than his or not, he was still better read on it.]
Fear and anxiety are hardly unfamiliar emotions for him; he lives with them constantly. At home, it's constant worry over Jin Guangyao discovering him and all his sacrifices being for naught and even worse, the destruction of his sect under his leadership. Here, it's Xue Yang's threats. Thus far, he's been easier to manage than his boss but it'd be unwise to underestimate him.
Subconsciously, Huaisang rubs at his shoulder briefly before just leaning his head on Wei Wuxian's shoulder. After a moment, he straightens up again.]
If you take your clothes off, I'll show you how these things work.
[As for his own, it might take a little more effort to get him to undress, given the fresh bite marks he has on his body and all.]
[It just felt a little sudden. He had never thought about something going in there before, not really. Not as something he would want anyway. But, he was curious. Did that mean between men...?
Deciding he really had to stop feeling a bit shy and holding himself back and started listening his robes. The thing about hesitance, it never gets you anywhere. They had goals right? They talked about them three months ago. There was no reason to keep holding himself back. And what was he holding himself back for anyway? Were not things already as they were?]
[Maybe it is a bit sudden to him but Huaisang's been as patient and accommodating as he can be in this situation. After three months of discussing the tasks, cuddling, kissing, and sharing a bed every night and being fed aphrodisiac laced food nonstop.... it's taken its toll. If not for his experiences with Xue Yang, Huaisang might have gone on like that indefinitely, but he's more aware of his needs now.
And as Wei Wuxian's shown more enthusiasm, Huaisang's shown more confidence as he's learned how to be bolder through his experiences with others on the island.]
I'll try my best. I don't want to hurt you.
[He's not Xue Yang, simply a tool with a high pain tolerance that Huaisang's growing fond of the more he uses him. Wei Wuxian is a person that he actually cares about.]
When you're ready, come lay on the bed.
[Their rather fancy new one with the privacy curtains and spotted sheets.]
[Somehow being so deliberate made it all more... strange. It was much easier to go with things on momentum. But, sometimes you just had to jump over the initial awkwardness. Like talking to a girl, it might feel a little weird at first, but once you said something it got easier.
Once he had removed his clothes he came over to the bed crawling onto it.]
[It is a little strange but deliberate it just how Huaisang is with people he cares for and doesn't want to lose. While he can still be impulsive and spontaneous, it takes an immense amount of trust or an absence of care for the other person. His last days with his brother were ones where he'd lacked restraint over his emotions or temper and they haunt him still to this day, ghosts from the past arising when and where he least expects it.
But Huaisang's been working on some issues, too, during these past few months and one of them has been simply learning how to relax and be close to someone again after a decade spent keeping people at arm's length. So when Wei Wuxian crawls onto the bed, Huaisang moves to meet him, reaching out to pull him into a firm but reassuring kiss. He lingers there a moment to reassure Wei Wuxian - and maybe himself, too, on some level - that they're simply moving forward into trying new things together. It's not all that different from how they've been in the past, is it?
He withdraws, resting his forehead briefly against Wei Wuxian's before speaking.]
Just lay down on your stomach or your side wherever you like and try to get comfortable. I'll do the rest.

Deep breaths, Huaisang. Patience.

In here. It goes in here.

You want to try right now...?

[Huaisang fiddles absently with the toy.]
Is there a particular reason to wait? All the supplies needed to try are right here.

This will make it much easier to take.
