Summary: The things they get up to in caves.

The mountains are full of caves. Some are just simple clefts, enough for one man to seek shelter from the elements. Others so extensive you can get lost in them, never finding your way back out.

They are perfect for rebels to hide in, and that is why Shen Wei and Kunlun are checking the ones near headquarters. It wouldn't do for the enemy to be so close.

Finding them is the hard part. The caves seem to hide from them, and they do a lot of trekking to uncover their whereabouts.

They've only checked four caves by the time darkness falls on the first day.

"We should stay here tonight," Kunlun says, squinting around the current empty cave. "Cozy enough, don't you think? A little dark and cold, but it's a cave, I guess."

Shen Wei nods. The cave will be sufficient shelter for the night. He quickly builds a small fire for light and warmth, conscious of Kunlun's needs.

"You're quiet," Kunlun says, and Shen Wei blinks.

"You want me to talk?"

Kunlun smiles and it makes something in Shen Wei's chest expand. "I'm always interested in what you have to say."

Shen Wei smiles hesitantly. "You are the only one."

"Do you mind?" Kunlun asks.

"No," Shen Wei says, shaking his head. "It's just different. I like it."

He likes everything about Kunlun. The thought makes hot shame twist inside him. He feels his face burn, so he looks away, though he knows his blush would not be visible in the low light.

He feels Kunlun's eyes on him, but he doesn't look back. He busies himself with their packs, bringing out their bedrolls. He's not certain how far apart to set them. Closer would be better, safer, but Shen Wei can't be sure of his own logic.

Kunlun pulls some food out of somewhere on his person and offers some to Shen Wei. Hard bread and salted fish. "You need to eat."

Shen Wei's stomach rumbles. "Yes."

Kunlun laughs, but not unkindly. He's never unkind, even when he's laughing at you. Shen Wei sends him a smile and takes the food, breaking off some bread for Kunlun.

They share their meal in companionable silence, but Shen Wei remembers what was said about talking.

"None of the stories mention you having a wife or lover," Shen Wei says without looking at him.

Kunlun makes a sound like he's choking, but when Shen Wei looks at him, he's just grinning. "Maybe that's because there's no one."

Hope surges up, but Shen Wei quickly pushes it back down again.

"Any particular reason you want to know?" Kunlun asks.

Shen Wei shrugs and stirs the fire. It doesn't require tending, but he needs something to do.

"Xiao Wei." Kunlun's voice is so gentle, so infinitely understanding, and the endearment catches Shen Wei off guard. He looks up and knows his vulnerability must show on his face. Kunlun swears quietly and beckons him closer.

Swallowing hard, Shen Wei does Kunlun's bidding and scoots over to the bedrolls, which have somehow moved closer together when Shen Wei wasn't looking. "What do you want?"

"Only what you want to give me," Kunlun says in a low voice. He's staring at Shen Wei's mouth.

"I would give you the moon and all the stars if I could," Shen Wei says earnestly.

"Ahh, Xiao Wei. You're going to kill me," Kunlun says, and pulls Shen Wei into a heated kiss.

It's not Shen Wei's first kiss, but it is the one that makes him finally understand what all the fuss is about. He moans against Kunlun's mouth and grabs at his tunic. He just needs something to hold on to, or else he'll lose himself.

He's already losing himself, waves of emotion crashing inside him. And if he is the sea, then Kunlun is the rocky shore he'll break himself against.

He knows, in the abstract, what men do with each other when they are lovers. It never sounded pleasant to Shen Wei, but he's willing to try for Kunlun. And besides, his power is learning. Maybe Kunlun can teach him to appreciate it.

He shifts down to a lying position and pulls Kunlun on top of him. Maybe he's too demanding, but Kunlun doesn't seem put off.

"Eager?" he asks, but it's all rhetorical. Of course Shen Wei is eager. He is overwhelmed with desire. Every kiss hardens his cock just that little bit more, and with Kunlun on top of him, he realizes there is friction. It feels surprising, amazing, and he bucks up, searching for more of the same.

Kunlun groans when Shen Wei finds his answering hardness through the layers of clothing. It makes Shen Wei smile to know he's coaxed out such a sound.

"It seems you are eager as well," Shen Wei says, albeit breathlessly.

Kunlun laughs and kisses him again. "Never doubt it."

Their clothing seems to give Kunlun trouble, but Shen Wei is happy to help move things along. His own clothes get rucked up and pushed down in the same way as Kunlun's, and soon they are bare together, at least in one place.

Shen Wei gasps when he feels Kunlun wrap a hand around his cock. Then he gasps again because he feels the velvet smoothness of Kunlun's own length against his own. They are grasped together in one skilled hand, wet with spit and precome.

In the firelight, Shen Wei can't see much, but he looks into Kunlun's face and feels swallowed whole by those dark eyes. Kunlun is watching him intently, completely serious. He moves his hand on them, and Shen Wei lets out a sound he doesn't recognize.

Kunlun kisses him. Kisses and kisses and doesn't stop. Shen Wei gasps and their breaths converge into one until he's not sure if he's breathing air or just Kunlun. He hopes it's just Kunlun.

He's making a rhythmic, guttural noise now, and he feels Kunlun smile against his lips.

"You're so close," Kunlun tells him, and that's when he realizes the truth of it. He's spiraling higher and higher, clinging to Kunlun for fear of falling. But still he's lifted with each stroke of Kunlun's hand, like an eagle soaring into the sky toward the sun.

"Kunlun!" he calls out, wanting to warn him or perhaps beg for mercy. His body is drawn taut, a bowstring ready for its release.

"Yes, like that, ah!" Kunlun cries, soaring with him, and Shen Wei knows they will plummet together, safe in each other's arms, so he's able to finally let go.

Behind his eyelids, sparks come into view and then white out into something even grander. His body gives in to Kunlun's demands as his orgasm is pulled out of him with force. Shen Wei wants to hold onto the sensations, to learn them, to grasp them in his hands, but he can't think to do anything but feel. He can't… He's…

Time slows, stutters, halts. He blinks open his eyes and feels Kunlun's thumbs at their corners, wiping wetness away. Shen Wei looks at him and sees that he's smiling down at him, eyes full of affection.

"I've made a mess of you," Kunlun says.

Shen Wei nods. "I don't mind."

Kunlun smiles. "I'll remember that." He settles down beside Shen Wei and cozies up close. He lays his head on Shen Wei's shoulder.

Shen Wei hears a noise and thinks Kunlun is enjoying one of his sweets, but when he looks, he sees Kunlun cleaning his fingers with his tongue. Knowing exactly what he's licking makes Shen Wei's face burn.

Kunlun winks. "I have to clean up somehow."

"You-" He doesn't know what to say. He doesn't have words at the moment. Except to ask, "How many more caves do you think there are?"

With a laugh, Kunlun answers, "Oh, dozens, I'm sure. We have our work cut out for us."

"Many more nights like this?" Shen Wei asks hopefully.

Kunlun leans in and kisses his cheek. "As many as we can manage."
