[Just a few minutes after their last exchange, a small green snake wiggles through the holding cells of the Yunmeng Jiang sect, peeking around corners as he slithers his way forward. It doesn't take him long to find the handsome man he's looking for, and he curls up around his ankle, then up to his thigh, tongue flicking out as he looks up the length of Xue Yang's body.]
[His features brighten and he extends his hands, palms up to the little serpent. Since his wrists are cuffed, he has no choice but to move his hands in unison.]
Aren't you handsome! But this is no place for you.
[If allowed, he will stroke the brow of the snake with one finger.]
[The little snake curls around his wrist when those hands come close, flicking his tongue against Xue Yang's fingers.
He drops away a moment later, transforming in a swirl of green mist to the tall and handsome young man from the pictures. At a touch, the cuffs on Xue Yang's wrists change to twining vines, easy to break or to slip off.] You are also much too handsome for such a place. Shall we go?
[He offers his hand.] I'm going to tuck you into my sleeve. It's going to be a very strange experience the first time.
[How cute! Xue Yang is openly charmed by the small creature and, frankly, he is happy for the company. Though he will never show it, sitting in a jail cell can be terribly lonely and he doesn't like being trapped in small places.
The shift proves that the intelligence he spied in the little serpent wasn't misleading. He blinks and slips his hands out of the vines, standing up cautiously. If Yanyou is a god...
That could be more dangerous than breaking out of jail in broad daylight.]
I'm putting my faith in you. [What does he have to lose? He takes hold of the offered hand with his good hand, his brow furrowing.]
[Yanyou transforms him the moment he gets permission, transmuting Xue Yang's essence into a little seafoam green pearl in the palm of his hand. He tucks the pearl into his sleeve, then transforms himself into green mist that slips easily out the window and arrows away over the rooftops.
There won't be much of a view, since Yanyou is prioritizing speed and stealth, but Xue Yang will be snug and warm inside that sleeve. Being a pearl is disorienting and perhaps a little alarming, since there can be no moving or stretching, but Xue Yang will retain his consciousness and Yanyou will hear any communication he desires to express.]
[A pearl. Of all the forms he might have expected, that would be at the bottom of his list of guesses. He panics at first - a natural reaction to losing his freedom and mobility. But then he feels the warmth. The chill he had been fighting since he was caught by Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen dissipates and he gives a little sigh.]
You could've warned me. [His tone is more grumpy than afraid.] Don't drop me! I don't want to float with the lotuses.
I did warn you! I said I was putting you in my sleeve and it would be very strange.
I will not drop you and anyway I would save you if you were with the lotuses.
[Flight is swift in this form. Yanyou chooses to leave the Yunmeng region, since he doesn't want any more trouble with people wanting Xue Yang locked up! He takes him into the mountains to a hot spring resort that he knows and likes. Landing in the forest outside, he returns himself to his human form and then draws out Xue Yang and restores him to his normal human state.]
Oh, you're going to stand out like that. [Looking him over quickly, Yanyou thinks for a moment and then transforms Xue Yang's apparel into some tasteful dark-blue robes so that he looks like a cultivator from a well-to-do clan. He smiles admiringly at the results.]
[Xue Yang huffs - the sound between playful and exasperated. He has caused quite a fuss in Yunmeng and beyond, so the choice to leave the territory behind is very smart. The landing makes him roll and he hisses, afraid he will tumble to the ground.
Yanyou holds him instead and when he is restored to his body, he is smirking devilishly. This god has nice warm hands! Which part of him had he been touching?]
So? [He winces at the change, though the color does wonders for his beauty. He notices the smile he is given and he clears his throat, flushing.] I've never been in blue.
[Cheerful as ever, Yanyou gives his robes a little tug.] The robes look very handsome on you. Don't worry! I have excellent taste. Now, let's go get you out of them.
[He takes one long stride forward then immediately pauses, turning back to give Xue Yang a slightly nervous smile.] Ah... please do not mention here that I am an immortal? I usually prefer to keep such things quiet. Except when I am trying to impress handsome men.
[The color on his cheeks gives away his vulnerability. He glances down at the blue fabric and he has to admit it is soft. And it's not like he will be wearing them long, either. He hopes.]
You are a fetching green as a snake.
[Xue Yang starts to follow and then stops, amused.]
What if I accidentally yell something during sex? I wouldn't think they would believe that, though. They'd just think you're really good.
You are prettier than any of the pearls in the sea. [Yanyou smiles at him, then steals a sweet kiss, hand stealing down to grope Xue Yang's ass along the way.]
If you yell something during sex and they believe it... [Yanyou shrugs. Oh well.] Maybe they will build a shrine to me. Snake Immortal was here. And then I will be responsible for it. [He pouts a bit. It's very nice that humans want to build shrines for him but he wishes they wouldn't. He doesn't want prayers or responsibility. He just wants to be able to visit a hot spring resort in peace.] Fortunately not many people have requests to make of Snake Immortal. It's mostly about mice in cornfields and having healthy children.
Are you flirting with me? [Xue Yang grins into the kiss, returning the pressure. He whines at the grope, a shock of pleasure shooting straight to his groin.]
I'll try to be good! If they do build a shrine, I'll visit it just to get your attention. [Which means he will walk around said shrine nude. Because he can.]
I'm not a mouse and I don't want children, but I have plenty of requests for you.
[He links their arms, grinning. With a little tug, he starts onto the path into the town.]
I've been called a snake many times. Maybe this is fate?
I've been flirting with you this whole time! Do I need to be more obvious? [Yanyou pouts at him. He certainly didn't think he was being subtle.]
Being called a snake is a good thing. All snakes are good snakes. [He's encountered evidence to the contrary but that's fine. Evidence doesn't mean anything.
Taking Xue Yang into the resort, he pays for their lodgings with a large gray pearl and orders food and drink. They're shown to a spacious cabin separate from the main lodge, with a huge bed and an elegant main room. Behind the cabin is a hot spring pool, naturally screened by trees and steep hills on two sides and by the cabin on the other.]
Maybe I'm dense! [He is so "dense" in fact that he kisses Yanyou's pout, purring. Well that isn't a sound snakes usually make!]
I've never minded. Snakes are beautiful; they take after their god.
[Now who is flirting? Xue Yang blinks at the pearl Yanyou gives the owner so easily, so casually. That's...a big rock! Or is that someone? He smirks at the idea and decides that it is probably best to stay on this god's good side.
The cabin is decadent and he looks around curiously, checking the corners and peeking out at the pool.]
This place has possibilities. [Loosening the blue robes, he begins to undress. In plain sight. Hi.]
[The pearl is just a pearl--they're easy enough for him to get, as a water immortal with a vast network of friends. Yanyou would never use a transformed person so casually, though he has no idea that Xue Yang thinks such a thing.
His robes drop away swiftly, falling to the ground with barely a tug at his sash, and he transforms into his snake form as he darts toward the pool, whirling and spinning joyfully beneath the water. He's naturally joyous and playful, but being a snake brings those traits out even more strongly, and the pool is wonderfully warm.]
[Glee makes him giggle and he drops his robes too, hurrying to the edge of the pool to watch.]
You make that look fun! [He tips himself into the water with a splash, letting his head dip under the surface for a few moments. With a grin, he slides his hands along Yanyou's serpentine body, enjoying the sensation.]
[Yanyou tangles around his arm, happy and playful, licking at his fingers with his little snake tongue.
Shifting into human form while he's practically on top of Xue Yang, Yanyou lands in his lap and immediately steals a kiss. His tongue is still serpentine and he flicks it shamelessly into Xue Yang's mouth, forked and thin as it whips lightly against Xue Yang's tongue.
[What a cute little tongue! Xue Yang rubs their faces together, not at all put off by Yanyou's scales. They really do look like jade!
The sudden transformation makes him gasp happily and he holds him close. Yanyou's light forked tongue has him moaning and he tilts his head so he can run his tongue over his lover's teeth.]
You can change me? What color will I be? [Flicking his wet hair out of his eyes, he laughs, carefree.]
Well, green snakes are prettiest [Not that he's at all biased. He talks pretty well with that snake tongue, even though he doesn't do as well talking while he's got a snake mouth to go with it.] But you can be any color you want.
[Yanyou flicks his tongue at Xue Yang's throat beneath the line of his jaw, ticklish little lashes of his flickering tongue.]
I don't know if green suits me! [He kisses along Yanyou's jawline while he thinks.] You like me in blue, don't you? Blue and green seem like a good match!
[His breathing is shaky at the sensation and he tips his head back.]
[Yanyou is happy to take the request, hands closing lightly around either side of Xue Yang's torso as he transforms him into a green and black sumatran pit viper, gently holding him on the surface of the water while he lets Xue Yang get accustomed to the transformation. He should be able to swim just fine as a snake, but moving around in an unfamiliar body takes some getting used to, and Yanyou doesn't want to accidentally drown his new friend.]
There you are. Very handsome. Move your tail like this to swim.
[He caresses his hand down Xue Yang's spine, demonstrating the correct motion and then waiting for him to figure out how the muscles work to replicate it.
[To say the transformation is strange doesn't explain the full oddity of losing arms and legs and basically being one long torso. With a head, of course. Xue Yang wiggles in shock and the warm hands are all that anchors him at first.
He peers up at Yanyou, clearly listening and he squirms pleasantly under the guiding hand. The water feels good. Natural. Xue Yang dips his face underneath and finds it quite easy to see. He shoots out of Yanyou's hands and swims in happy circles, hissing his joy.]
[Yanyou also transforms, since that seems only right, and circles with him, spinning and diving playfully, demonstrating a few different ways to move through the water. He has thousands of years of experience with this, but the basic motions are easy to pick up. Playfully flirtatious, Yanyou rubs up against him, twining their bodies as they swirl through the water.]
[Xue Yang learns by watching Yanyou, pausing now and then to peek back at his tail. He wiggles it back and forth and he is rewarded well for his accomplishments! The rubbing feels nice and he takes a chance, twining himself back around Yanyou to nuzzle their faces together.
[Yanyou twines against him in return, rubbing their bodies together and flicking his tongue against Xue Yang's face. They play for an hour in the water as snakes, twining their bodies together as Yanyou teaches him all the pleasure they can have in this form.
Happily sated, he finally transforms them both back into human forms, drawing Xue Yang close and kissing him properly now that they both have lips again.]
[So that's how snakes mate! Xue Yang is flushed and beaming when he is transformed back. He slips into Yanyou's arms enthusiastically, flicking his tongue against the god's lips.]
Would you mind if I enjoyed you in this form too?
[His eyes glitter mischievously and he drags his nails lightly down Yanyou's chest.]
What are bodies for, if not pleasure! [Yanyou grins enthusiastically at that teasing flick of tongue, pursuing it eagerly for more kisses. They have all the time in the world. Millennia, if you're Yanyou. He's happy to spend days in the water kissing and pleasuring each other. His hands slide over Xue Yang's skin, appreciatively exploring his human body.]
They're for fighting too. [Not that he wants to fight a god. He returns the kisses with a low moan, running his hands over Yanyou just as eagerly. Grinding their hips together, he pulls his lips away from the other's mouth to kiss down his chest.]
[Yanyou grimaces in severe distaste, like he's eaten something very bitter.] Fighting! Waste of time. Destroys crops, burns beautiful things, kills people who could have been spending their time composing operas and painting artworks. Humans already die so quickly! Why should they hurry the process along?
[He shakes his head.] Better to spend days having sex and brewing liquor.
[It's a nice point of view and Xue Yang sighs, wishing he could spend his days having sex, brewing liquor and...art? He has never given painting or music much of a try.]
You're a good god. [He tips his head, rubbing his cheek against Yanyou's nipple.] I wonder if you could free me from my masters. They make me fight all the time.
Depends on who are your masters. If they are humans, you can stay with me. I won't let anyone take you away against your will.
If they are immortals, I won't get involved.
[He doesn't intend to get involved either way, but at least with the humans he can simply avoid them, taking Xue Yang far beyond their reach. Immortals cannot be outrun. Yanyou could go to ground and hide for a millennium, but immortals have long memories. Eventually the debt would need to be paid.
This topic displeases him. He holds Xue Yang and lets him nuzzle, but he doesn't return it, waiting for Xue Yang to be done talking about unpleasant things.]
[He gives a little pout before grinning and accepting those terms. Xue Yang isn't one to beg for protection - though it is tempting. His enemies will catch up to him and beat him to a pulp, he's sure of it. It's only a matter of time.
But that's for tomorrow. Pulling away at the god's obvious displeasure, he lifts himself onto the side of the pool, his legs dipping in the water.]
Don't look so grumpy! I'm not going to ask you for anything.
Let's order food. That's better than talking about fighting. [Yanyou leans over to kiss Xue Yang's upper thigh, then gets up and puts his clothes back on so that they can go to the main lodge and order food and drinks.]
[Well that gets his attention! He follows Yanyou's movements, splashing a few times with his feet before he rises and tugs on his robe too. Feeling a little adventurous, he sneaks up behind the god and nuzzles against his back, kissing under his ear.]
