The Moment… They Had Always Waited For
Yu Sui slowly lowered the flute.
It vanished into the air like a sigh that had served its purpose.
He reached into his sleeve
And pulled out that same thread.
The one he had kept for years…
The one that still held the dry leaf charm he once made for Mo Yan.
Looking at it, his eyes shimmered with unshed tears.
"Today is the day…"
"The day I've dreamed of… every single night."
Without a word, he walked over to Mo Yan.
And sat beside him...quietly.
Mo Yan hadn't spoken either.
He was still. Silent.
But his eyes…
His eyes were locked on Yu Sui as if he were something precious.
A treasure he had been afraid to claim.
Their gazes met.
And then
A faint smile rose on Mo Yan's face.
Gentle. Honest.
Yu Sui leaned in slightly
Like the branch of a tree offering its fruit with quiet tenderness.
Their eyes fluttered shut…
And for the first time
A kiss.
Soft lips brushing.
Like a dew drop touching a petal…
And melting into it.
From that first touch, their hearts met.
And as hearts met, so did their souls.
And when their souls embraced
They gave permission for their bodies to meet too.
Like water allowing the reflection of the moon to finally touch its surface.
Their breaths became one
Like the mingling of fragrances in the air.
Their fingers entwined
Like fire captured within snow, quietly burning.
There was no veil.
No shame.
Just two souls wrapped around each other,
Like a flower to its stem.
Like a cloud to the sky.
Every second pulled them closer
Like a sinking ship slowly descending…
To the deepest part of the ocean.
And then… the Su Tao Jue incantation awakened
Its true form unveiled at last.
A soft, glowing pink ribbon spiraled around their wrists
Like the only witness to this sacred union.
Mo Yan
Even with his wounds
Felt relief.
Not just in body,
But in every shattered part of his spirit…
That now felt whole again.
