[ Solomon does indeed show Jing Yuan, who can only marvel at its construction, its sincere thoughtfulness in its potential application — already, feelings have begun to bubble up. It only seems that this feeling that washes over him like a sudden tide enhances them — makes him feel...something overwhelming amongst the maelstrom of emotions.
Once again, he's momentarily struck speechless — Solomon reaching out, fingers softly stopping where they are, only to guide the angle of where his head rests. The touch feeling like nothing less than a balm, but somehow only increasing the significance of the moment.
Then, his words...there is a lot of them.
He remembers them well but categorizing how each and every single one, as well as the sentiments behind them, mean to Jing Yuan would take eons. ]
Solomon, thank you. My apologies if I am not the eloquent man right now you have come to know these few weeks, but I am at a loss at what to say.
Still, I...
[ His breath hitches, and for the first time a long while there is a wetness to his eyes; do not fear, though, these are happy tears. After carefully placing the necklace around his neck, fingers shaking, Jing Yuan then throws his arms suddenly around Solomon pulling him close to him. He needs this, he needs to hold him close, but it isn't enough.
Words truly seem inadequate to convey how much this means to him. Even if he might be ridiculed for it, he doesn't care. The last time anyone gave anything to him for protection and in a personal sense at all, it was Yingxing, which was centuries ago. Yingxing is no longer with him, and as the man he is today, he no longer cares for Jing Yuan the way he is. Jing Yuan does pull back, only slightly, so that their faces are close together, and though there are a million emotions running through him right now, Jing Yuan feels as if his mind is clear. His next words, emotional, are clear with a declaration that lacks no confidence, that rings true as his heart sings. ]
I will come home. I refuse to accept any other alternative.
I will live.
[ It's embarrassing how overcome with emotion he is, but he refuses to shy away. They have come far, they have had theirs ups and downs, but they have grown ever the more close. He is most certain of that, even if they still some ways to go; still he intends to become closer. ]
But before all of that...indulge in a kiss with me?
