Work Text:
Hua Cheng and Xie Lian have been friends since they were both little. Despite their differences, they have been stuck at each other’s side since forever. With Xie Lian being a bunny, and Hua Cheng a fox, people would judge them every time they were playing outside. And while Xie Lian usually kept his calm even in stressful situations, Hua Cheng never allowed people to talk badly about his gege. Never.
Xie Lian was royalty, living in the capital, while Hua Cheng was..well, poor. His mother tried her best to raise him but even if she couldn’t give him the world, she at least taught him to respect people, she taught him to be kind, to be good, and to never doubt himself. He lives in the forest, a dark and scary place for those who have never stepped foot inside it before. His home was barely holding itself together, but so far it held on.
There were many times when Xie Lian suggested to his mother that Hua Cheng move in with them, but she always shrugged it off. Hua Cheng wouldn’t want to abandon his mother and the queen..she was too scared of what could happen if the two lived together. They were already inseparable as is, but she feared to even think about what kind of accidents could happen that could lead to her being a grandmother at such age. They were both too little to even know about that kind of stuff, but best not tempt them.
When Xie Lian turned eighteen, he had his first heat. Hua Cheng was only a year younger than him so at the time he was seventeen, but he still had no idea why Xie Lian was being isolated. For a full week, maids stood outside Xie Lian’s door and guards were placed at all the entrances. He tried fighting with the guards, even begging them to tell him what was happening and why he couldn’t see his gege, but they refused to answer. So, Hua Cheng could only live in fear for a full week not knowing what was happening to his..best friend. When his mother saw him all grumpy and sulking like a kitten, she couldn’t help but question him.
“What’s wrong little one? You look..troubled.” His mother sat next to him on the bed, her rough hands from working all day resting on his shoulders as if to take his pain away.
“It’s..gege! The guards, they won’t let me see him! And they’re all guarding him as if he was on his dying bed mother. Of course I’m troubled,” Hua Cheng sighed, looking closer, his mother could see the way his hands were shaking where they were placed on his lap.
Hearing this, his mother couldn’t help but let out a giggle, already knowing what was wrong and to be fair, it was also her fault for not talking to him about this kind of stuff despite the fact he too will go through it in merely a year.
Hua Cheng almost looked offended at her giggling, his eyebrows furrowed as he tried to understand.
“My dear, the prince is all good. He isn’t sick, or dying. He is going through his first heat, hence why he is being guarded by everyone. The scent of a bunny going through his first heat would be enough to make any person go mad, such as wolves, other bunnies, foxes…” Hua Cheng only looked more confused now, but he calmed down when he heard his gege wasn’t dying.
“A..heat?” His mother nodded.
“Animals such as bunnies go through heats, all animals have it but for some they’re called heats, and for some ruts. Such as..you. You’re a fox dear, and next year, you too will have your first rut.” Hua Cheng was alarmed at this, he didn’t know if it was painful or if that meant he couldn’t see his gege.
“What are they..? And does that mean me and gege can’t see each other anymore..?!” For some reason, Hua Cheng seemed more panicked at the idea of never seeing his gege again, than at the idea of him being sick. His mother only petted his hair playfully.
“Ruts are when your body gets the urge to breed, to reproduce, they usually make one get a temper, be angry or frustrated because your body isn’t getting any relief, thus it’s usually resolved by sleeping with someone who has heats. Heats are the exact opposite, their bodies crave to get pregnant, to carry a child, to be taken care of by their partners. And no dear, you can still see your gege. They usually last about one week every month. He will be okay.”
“But..mother..doesn’t that mean that gege is in pain??! If- If I get a temper, what does gege get? And is it painful??” His mother could only sigh, because indeed, first heats were usually painful. So were ruts, but heats were way worse.
“Indeed, first heats and ruts are usually painful if one doesn’t relieve their urges, but the prince is too strong, I am sure he can make it. Besides, they have the best doctors, he will be fine.” Before his mother could even finish her sentence, Hua Cheng already sat up, trying to run away. His mother just barely caught his hand.
“Let me go mother! I need to help gege!” But there was no way she would let him help him. He didn’t even have his first rut yet, heavens know what would happen if he- if he accidentally got him pregnant. Gods, she wouldn’t hear the end of it.
But that was last year.
Xie Lian was perfectly fine now, and he was too embarrassed to talk about what happened back then, always brushing it off whenever Hua Cheng mentioned it.
Now, Hua Cheng has just barely turned eighteen a few weeks ago.
His mother was busy with work as always, so he decided to go visit his gege. It’s pretty early in the morning but that was alright. When he arrives at the palace, the guards allow him to go through. He can barely keep his eyes open due to the sun, and for some reason, he’s been feeling hot to his bones all morning. But he blames it on the fact it’s so sunny today and shrugs it off.
He knocks on Xie Lian’s door twice, gently, but loud enough for the other to hear. He is smiling almost all the way to his ears when Xie Lian opens the door, immediately rushing forward to hug him tightly. Being so close, Hua Cheng can smell a different scent. He doesn’t know if it comes from Xie Lian, but because they were so close to each other it probably was. But it was odd, because usually, Xie Lian didn’t smell like anything out of the ordinary. Just his usual floral scent. But this was different . Hua Cheng feels relaxed by it, his bones relaxing as he hugs his friend.
“San Lang! I didn’t think you’d come today!” Xie Lian smiles, and without realising, grabbing his hand to rush him inside. Hua Cheng can’t help blushing at the gesture. For some reason, being next to the prince only made his body feel hotter, sweat dripping down his neck. Xie Lian was dressed in his casual attire, his pale arms visible like this. It almost made Hua Cheng choke.
With Xie Lian now sitting next to him on the bed, Hua Cheng tries to subtly move away, afraid to be so close to the prince. But Xie Lian’s hand still rests upon his palm and he can see the smile leave Xie Lian’s face. At that, Hua Cheng is worried that he might’ve done something to make him uncomfortable.
“Gege..? Did something happen?” His voice was raspy and he stuttered over a few words, but Xie Lian was an expert at understanding him. Instead of leaving him, Xie Lian moves even closer, invading his personal space once more, before he even gets the chance to back off, Xie Lian brings his hand to Hua Cheng’s forehead, his palm feeling unusually cold against his temple.
“San Lang..! You’re- you’re burning up..” Hua Cheng wants to check for himself, but it would be hard to actually tell so he instead trusts the prince. Suddenly, his legs now feel like jelly and he finds it hard to stand up, falling back down on the bed with a groan. Xie Lian only seems to grow even more worried, but not knowing what to do.
Just then, Hua Cheng looks down at his pants, seeing a bulge there, he immediately realises what this is. Because his mother told him everything there was to know about his rut, and what he knows best is that under no circumstances should he be in Xie Lian’s presence until it’s gone.
“Gege, I need t-to leave, I’m alright I promise, I just have to make it home...” Yet, his vision was hazy and he couldn’t see anything clearly. His head was ringing and before he even realises, the world fades to black, his back hitting the mattress.
He wakes up hours later. The sun is already setting down when his eyes open. He rubs his eyes for a moment, before actually being able to see anything. One thing he notices is that he’s no longer in Xie Lian’s chambers. No, this room was similar to his, but not his. His scent wasn’t anywhere in this room, and without smelling his scent, he feels like he might go mad any second now. His clothes feel way too uncomfortable on him, but it feels incredibly disrespectful to take his clothes off in the palace. Then, his mind shifts to his mother, she is definitely worried that he isn’t home yet! He has to go back and let her know. She will know what to do.
He barely manages to get out of bed, and when he grips the doorknob, he finds none other than the queen herself waiting around in front of his room. She seems as disturbed and confused as he is. When she notices Hua Cheng opening the door, she immediately runs to him, her hand resting on his shoulder. She and his own mother were probably the only ones he could allow to touch him at the moment. He wanted to ask about Xie Lian, to let him know he’s alright, but his mother already spoke up before him.
“Please, go back inside. I personally sent a guard to inform your mother that you got your rut and it’s impossible for you to walk all the way back home, so you’re going to stay here until it’s gone.” Hua Cheng was confused, apparently dazed as well because he could barely comprehend what she was saying anymore, his body was yelling at him, telling him to do something, anything.
“B-but gege-“
“We moved you to a guest room, smelling his scent would only aggravate your pain, so please, go back inside. Do whatever you must do, don’t worry about anything else. And we’ll bring you dinner later alright?” The queen was too kind to him, and he almost found it suspicious, but after all she too knew him since he was a little boy. So, maybe she really wanted the best for him.
“Oh, and please, lock the door. If my son tries to come inside, do not let him in under any circumstances alright? Your pheromones triggered an early heat for him, he’s not thinking coherently. Neither of you are.” The queen only rushed him inside after he nodded, she almost closed the door in his face but he managed to whisper a single question.
“Will gege be fine..?” She smiles at his worried voice, nodding before closing the door. Hua Cheng sighs, and despite the queen reassuring him that he can do anything, it still feels too fucking uncomfortable to actually do something. So, he takes off his clothes, lays down on the bed, and tries to sleep it off again.
The rest of the afternoon goes by pretty fast, after a few hours the maids wake him up to bring him dinner. He doesn’t even remember the last time he ate so much food in one go, but it tasted amazing. Now, he was once again laying down, his breathing heavy as his hand was pressed against his erection. He wasn’t fisting it, he was palming himself because that’s all he felt safe to do at the moment. His eyes almost close with how good it feels, when a loud knock breaks him out of his trance. It was after midnight now, so who could possibly..
“W-Who is it..?” Hua Cheng stutters, but to his surprise, the person doesn’t answer him. Instead, his door opens. His face goes pale when he realises he forgot to lock the door! Thankfully he was shielded by the blanket thrown over his naked figure. He gulps, and that’s when Xie Lian makes an appearance. He was practically naked at that point, only covered by his sleeping robes. His hair was tied as he tiptoed inside the guest room.
“San Lang..please…I need you..” Xie Lian whispers, despite being in heat, his mind not thinking clearly, he had the self restraint not to immediately jump Hua Cheng. Instead, he sits at the edge of the bed, fidgeting with his robe. He didn’t dare to look Hua Cheng in the eye.
“Gege— you can’t be here..your mother, she would be furious at both of us if she knew..-“
“My mother isn’t here! She’s..sleeping.” Xie Lian gulps, he shouldn’t have raised his voice, but his frustration grew evident. He spent every single heat alone for a year. But he couldn’t. Not anymore. He couldn’t stand being lonely anymore. He has loved San Lang ever since they were kids, and he can’t stand being alone anymore.
It hurts.
“But—“
“Please! We don’t have to do penetration…but we can still help each other!” Xie Lian nods, his eyes trailing down Hua Cheng’s covered body. Before he can stop himself he trails his hand to the blanket, slowly dragging it off his shoulders.
“Gege, you’re not thinking clearly I don’t—“ His eyes snap wide open when Xie Lian sits down in his lap, the only barrier between them being the blanket but he could still feel the way he was grinding against him, his ass resting right above his bulge. Fuck, he wasn’t helping at all, he was only making it harder for Hua Cheng to have any sort of self control.
“San Lang, touch me.” Xie Lian grabs his hand, guiding it towards his clothed chest. Despite still having his robe on, he pulls it to the side, allowing Hua Cheng to see his nipples, pink and begging to be touched. Hua Cheng doesn’t know how much longer he can resist not shoving his dick inside him. So, with a sigh, he admits defeat.
“As you wish, gege.” Hua Cheng then does the unexpected, flipping them over, with Xie Lian now yelping underneath him. Hua Cheng could feel the heat radiating from him, both of them weren’t thinking clearly, but one thing they knew is that they both wanted, no, needed this. For years now. All they wanted was to embrace each other like this. And there wouldn’t be any consequences because they will be careful.
Hua Cheng can’t help but slide his hand downwards, resting it on Xie Lian’s clothed pussy. He was wearing panties, and the sight nearly made him come untouched. He was contemplating if he should take them off completely, rip them off, or pull them to the side.
In the end, he chose to just pull them to the side. His breath hitched at the reveal of Xie Lian’s pussy, now bare in front of his eyes. He didn’t shave, the hair resting just above his clit made him groan. “Is- that a problem? I didn’t realise this would happen and- mngh!!” Before Xie Lian could finish his sentence, Hua Cheng’s fingers found his clit, rubbing it slowly, with inexperienced movements.
“Shh, you don’t want to wake up your mother, do you, gege?” Xie Lian didn’t know how Hua Cheng could still giggle even when he was in a rut, but he supposes he has always been like this. No matter the situation he was in, as long as his gege was safe by his side, nothing alarmed him. “Also, I almost feel offended that gege thinks I wouldn’t love any part of his body.”
The mention of his mother nearly broke Xie Lian out of the dazed state he was in, but not entirely.
Not when Hua Cheng’s thick, heavy cock slid between his folds, the tip just slightly pressing against his clit. The action resulted in even more thick slick pouring out of his hole, and straight onto the new bedsheets. Maybe he was supposed to take it easy considering this was their first time, but Xie Lian couldn’t wait anymore. And neither could his cunt that was pulsating and waiting for something to fill it up.
“What are you waiting for San Lang..? Put it in..!” Hua Cheng knew how to read his mind apparently, because in the next second, his tip was pushing inside his tight hole, Hua Cheng wasn’t even sure how it would fit, considering how tight Xie Lian was, his walls massaging his tip, milking more pre cum out of him.
It was hard to touch his gege with the robe and the panties still in the way, so Hua Cheng decided to swiftly pull them off, grabbing at them until they nearly ripped in a desperate attempt. Xie Lian expected to find his robe on the floor, but to his surprise, Hua Cheng folded it neatly and put it on the other side of the bed. With the robe now out of the way, only his panties remained.
The lace was so beautiful, it looked even more go on his gege’s body, so he didn’t dare rip anything that belonged to the prince. He had to pull out of him for a second just so he could slide them off his legs, and he did. Xie Lian whimpered at the loss but didn’t comment on it, allowing the man to do what was needed.
“Gege, you look beautiful…fuck, I can’t take my eyes off you, not for a single moment.” Hua Cheng groaned, closing his eyes the moment his tip slipped back inside, the warmth engulfing him was way too much. As it turned out, it was too much for Xie Lian as well, because his legs immediately wrapped around Hua Cheng’s waist, keeping him locked in place as if afraid the man would leave. He couldn’t allow that to happen, even though he knew he would never do such a thing.
“San Lang.. you may m-move..please,” Xie Lian gasped when Hua Cheng didn’t wait, thrusting all his length inside and taking a long sharp breath, he felt as though he could cum in that moment. And that wouldn’t do.
He has to satisfy his gege.
“O-oh..! Yes, yes, just like that…” Xie Lian’s eyes were watering, tears forming from the sheer intensity of the moment. At most he usually fingered himself when he was in heat or when he missed San Lang a bit too much..never did he experience the feeling of such a big length inside of him. It made his tummy feel weird and..warm, although it felt strange at first.
“Gege shouldn’t be this loud, unless you want everyone to know how good San Lang makes you feel?” The amusement in his voice was clear, but it only aroused Xie Lian even more, he couldn’t help but scratch his arms, trying to hold onto him as hard as he could. He fears that if he lets go, he might just die. No, he needed to feel him as close as possible.
“Yes..yes, that’s what i w-want..” Xie Lian’s voice was trembling, barely managing to speak between sobs of pleasure, every time the tip touched his cervix, another sob was ripped out of him, and he tried to close his legs, but he couldn’t because San Lang was in between them.
“I’m glad to know gege is enjoying himself~” Hua Cheng smirked, while he was busy ruining Xie Lian for everyone else, his mouth was free and he didn’t like that. So, without giving it much thought, he leaned in for a kiss, taking Xie Lian by surprise.
But the prince didn’t pull back, nor was he upset by this.
Instead, he grabbed Hua Cheng by the back of his head, keeping him there. Both of their eyes were closed, with muffled whimpers that occasionally escaped their mouths, but neither of them had the power to stop. They would run out of air sooner or later, but it was worth it. Xie Lian just now realised this was their first kiss. Well, more like make out session. But the reality was the same, this was the first time their lips touched, and it felt like heaven on earth.
With every push of Hua Cheng’s tongue inside his mouth, his bunny ears would twitch, and so would his fluffy tail. He had to control himself from touching Hua Cheng’s fox ears that seemed way too cute. They could also feel the saliva dripping from their mouths onto Xie Lian’s chest and Hua Cheng’s neck.
Every part of Xie Lian screamed for Hua Cheng. And when they finally part ways, Hua Cheng has the biggest smile plastered on his face. Before Xie Lian even realised, the man was purring. His tongue slithering down to his chest, latching onto a pink nipple that looked oh so lonely.
Occasionally, he would let it go with a pop, just so he can whisper dirty words into Xie Lian’s ear. “Gege, look how hard you’ve made me..I don’t think I’ll ever be able to let you go.” Then, his mouth found his nipple again, sucking as if his life depended on it.
“Gege, I am going to get you pregnant at t-this rate..” Hua Cheng nearly cried out, but he didn’t miss the way Xie Lian tightened up on his cock, clearly enjoying the thought. “Oh? Is that what gege wishes? I can make it come true, as long as he says the word ~” Xie Lian felt heat rushing to his cheeks, because he isn’t supposed to get turned on by the thought! But the idea of carrying a miniature Hua Cheng, to have a mini them, it’s too much to bear.
He knows that they’re still very young, they have time for a baby. But what would everyone think? To have a baby half fox half bunny! It would alarm all of his people! But, he couldn’t live his life based on the expectations his people had. No, and besides that, neither he or Hua Cheng would allow anyone to talk badly about their family.
He is snapped out of his overthinking when Hua Cheng manages to reach all the way inside his womb. A gasp is forced out of him, and his eyes open wide, almost going cross eyed at the feeling.
But that wasn’t enough for Hua Cheng.
Because in the next moment, he grabbed Xie Lian’s hand, positioning it on his lower belly. And Xie Lian outright cries. Because right there, the spot where Hua Cheng touched him, there was a very visible bulge. Every time Hua Cheng thrusted inside him a bit harder, the bulge would shift.
“Good boy…my gege is so good,” Hua Cheng never called him that, and thus Xie Lian didn’t know how much it would affect him.
But he can feel his stomach tightening. And he knows what is coming.
“San Lang..! W-wait- something doesn’t feel right..!” Just as he finished speaking, he felt the way his legs tightened as well, a shock flowing through him as he squirted all over Hua Cheng’s cock. It didn’t stop, wetting even his chest and the bedsheets, and everywhere else it could reach. Xie Lian never did that before, so naturally, he was terrified! He didn’t mean to do such a mess all over his lover and-
“Fucking hell— Gege, that was so fucking hot. Can you do it again for San Lang?” Xie Lian didn’t believe his ears, not only was Hua Cheng not embarrassed, he wanted him to do it again??! He didn’t know if he even could, because that never happened before and he wasn’t sure how it worked, but with the way he was hitting his womb, he wasn’t too sure he couldn’t.
That feeling combined with Hua Cheng grunting in his ear was almost too much, almost causing him to black out.
“P-please..!!” He didn’t know what exactly he was begging for, but he knew it felt way too good to stop. But judging by the way his hips stilled every now and then, Hua Cheng was close too. So, he asked for the sanest thing he could possibly want, and one that surely wouldn’t end up backfiring.
“Please cum inside me, San Lang!!”
His screams were enough for Hua Cheng to not be able to hang on any longer, any thoughts and worries leaving his mind as he pumped his cum deep inside Xie Lian’s womb, painting his walls white until he could see it dripping from his hole, even when he was still plugged by his cock, it was dripping on the sides and fuck. The sight was almost enough to make Hua Cheng hard again, even though he didn’t even finish cumming.
“Good…s-soo good…” Xie Lian seemed pretty broken, muttering endlessly as his eyes were rolled in the back of his head, thighs twitching and his body covered in sweat, cum, and what not.
When Hua Cheng pulled out, all the cum started to drip out of him, nearly sending Hua Cheng to an early grave. All while Xie Lian was still mindlessly mumbling to himself, or even to Hua Cheng.
The sight of the man he loved being ruined through and through was just the perfect sight. Because he was ruined by him. By Hua Cheng and no one else. No one could have him in this way. Hua Cheng will make sure of that. Whether that means impregnating him, or killing anyone who dares to touch his gege in cold blood, he would do it in a heartbeat. This sight was reserved for him, and him only.
“Come, gege. Let’s clean you up and take you to your room, it’s too dirty here-“
“I’m not going anywhere w-without San Lang!” And Hua Cheng could only smile at his words, kissing his forehead lovingly.
“San Lang wouldn’t dare leave his gege. Ever.”
That morning, he and Xie Lian are awakened by the queen, who barged in Xie Lian’s chambers early in the morning, with a scowl on her face.
“You two are in sooo much trouble.”
