Wufei laughed warmly, bright and loud, in a way that reminded him briefly of so many times before. Duo could always bring out his laughter, now that he wasn't trying so desperately to hide it. "I am a dragon, and I will defend you to my final breath," Wufei replied softly.

He leaned in for another kiss, soft and slow, letting himself practically melt against Duo. Warm, relaxed, a little aroused. It felt like perfection.
