"I should be more wary in future, then," he says, voice as light and idle as Mingjue is capable of. Their kisses are a balm to any faux wounds to his pride, letting his gaze drag over Xichen before he forces himself to stop and calm down.
He can be rational and reasonable; no need to strip his spouse in the middle of their rooms here. Not yet, at least.
"There's no fun in that," Xichen says with a light chuckle, the corners of his eyes crinkling slightly. Neither of them are perhaps what most would consider the definition of fun, far from it, but Xichen isn't really taking the opinions of others on any matters concerning them.
"Plenty of rewards come to mind." Just like he catches Mingjue's gaze traveling over him, he makes sure that his own appreciative gaze is not missed. "But you are overdressed for all of them."
When it comes to his clothing there's something to be said about his fashion compared to his brother's; Huaisang is often saying that Mingjue could dress better, with nicer things, nicer fabrics, all the other things that the younger one cares about.
He doesn't.
What he does care about is his other half, and he leans in to steal a kiss.
"You know what I'd meant," Xichen chides, gentle and teasing. He knows he is being teased too, does not mind that he gets to see this side of Mingjue when others cannot dream of it. "Too many layers."
He loses himself in the stolen kiss for a moment, smiling as he presses his lips to Mingjue's again. This is something he had not dreamed of having, still finds it a wonder that he does. "For my prize, I want you to take me to bed. I want you naked." That's still one reward on technicality.
