tried to write - draft (cw: suggestive?)

It's strange that after 30 years, the pair now sleep on the same bed.

Everything was just right, as it should be. Vyn's hand caresses the side of Xuan's face. Xuan's hands hover above Vyn's waist, the poor guy still feels shy about touching the love of his life.

Her eyes looked down at him, like a vixen. Little by little, her right hand slides down and lifts up the hem of Xuan's shirt-

-her hands tremble at the sight. Xuan was plastered with scars under his shirt. From his hips, up to his collar bone, scars were sprinkled against his skin. Her left hand goes to touch one, almost weary realizing how much of an idiot Xuan was.

"How did you get this?" Her thumb rubbed gently on the one near his abdomen.

Xuan grinned in response, "Welding accident."

Her hand danced to the one at his ribcage, "And this?"

"Bar fight, a guy tried to shank me," Xuan continued, a stupid smile painted on his face. He seems almost proud at it, but his eyes soften when he looked up at Vyn.

The guy really can't keep himself alive and safe without her, and the fact they've been apart for 30 years made Vyn even more worried. So much could've happened months alone, and yet Vyn wasn't there to help Xuan.

"....A lot happened when you- I, was gone-"

"I can tell," Vyn cuts off Xuan's sentence, her hand still inspecting every part of Xuan's torso, "oh dear."

"That one? You know I'm not a good fisher." Xuan tried to lighten the mood, but her eyes remained solemn.

While trying to feel for more scars, her hands finally wandered down and touched his chest. The touch made Xuan's breath hitch.

"Oh, you got surgery?" Vyn inquired, interested on Xuan's response.

When they were both teens, Xuan has always been excited at the idea of physically transitioning. Feeling the scar, Vyn felt relief that Xuan managed to fufil some goals in his life.

And yet, Xuan's face contorted. He didn't seem pleased anymore, shifting away from Vyn's touch.

"I... yeah....." Xuan looked away, trying to pull his shirt down.

"......Are you upset that I did?"

She was shocked, her hands go up immediately to hold Xuan's face tenderly. "No- why would you ask that?"

His own hands crept up to hold Vyn's wrists, trying to hide his face as he explained.

"You looked better next to a girl"
