"You forbid it?" he huffed, amused, unsure when his brother was being playful and when he was being serious. Technically Huaisang did have the power to deny him a marriage, but to what end?
The answer came soon enough and he arched a brow, his heart skipping a beat strangely in his chest. Those words had been said to him before, but it had been awhile. Mingjue sighed and wrapped Huaisang in his arms, resting his cheek against the top of his head.
"You will never lose me. It's impossible. We have been together most of our lives." he moved a hand over Huaisang's hair and down his back absently, liking the shift from silken hair to soft fabric, "We will carry on the line with our wives and our children. You will get married one day too, Huaisang."
Huaisang grumbled, petulant as a child, but the touches relaxed him and made him smile with trust and contentment. "I don't want to get married. I don't want to grow up and be a Sect Leader. Even though there will be an enormous party all focused on me. I do like that part."
Lifting his head a little, Huaisang looked thoughtful. "I really should start focusing on the banquet planning. There's only a month left and I haven't even decided on the menu or the decor!"
It was just possible that there were other important priorities to consider--the politics, the security, the dangerous tensions involving the Wen Sect--but it was far more fun to focus on the party planning.
