After twelve years of being used as a hostage and bargaining chip Wuxin had finally made his way to his father's home in Tian Wai Tian.
He had both wanted to come back to see the place his father had talked about because it was the last connection to him outside his memories.
But he also had not wanted to come because this is not his home, just his father's and he felt no special connection to this place.
It had been even harder to want to come here after meeting and traveling with his soulmate because he thought he would have to leave him behind.
But his soulmate floored him when he said he would go to Tian Wai Tian with him. Xiao Se had surprised Wuxin many times in their short time together but nothing had knocked the air from his body or overwhelmed my emotions like that declaration had.
So he, his soulmate, and the white haired deity left Beili together and traveled to his father's home.
After they arrived Wuxin became very busy with helping restore his father's home and could not be with his soulmate as much as he longed for even though he was so close by.
He could tell he was getting lonely but he did his best to reassure him that he understood that what he was doing to restore his father's legacy was important and that he would be here. But he could see he too longed for more time together.
Wuxin wanted to make it up to Xiao Se and thank him for choosing to come with him and he knew he wanted it to be something special, not just words.
After thinking it over he remember his father telling him about his favorite sight in all of Tian Wai Tian. And something he had longed to see himself since he first told him about all those years ago.
He recall his father saying "The plum blossoms in Huaxue Villa always wither in a moment."
"Often at this time, the snow flurries."
"I would wait to view this beautiful withering scenery."
"I named such scenery the death of snow."
"When the plum blossoms withered, the snow would die with them."
After Wuxin finished reminiscing he summoned the white haired deity and told him about what his father had described to him as a child and when and where this event took place so he could see and share a special experience with Xiao Se.
He took some time to think about what Wuxin had described and the question he asked him. He then told him that it was a tree grove with a pavilion not far from the house he and Xiao Se now stay at and the plum blossoms had been blooming since they'd arrived in Tian Wai Tian and would reach the effect Wuxin described in two days.
Wuxin thanked him and then told him to go to Xiao Se and inform him that he would be gone for two days and that he would meet him in the evening of the second day at the place the deity would tell him about.
Him being gone for a few days at a time was not a new occurrence since they arrived at Tian Wai Tian and something Xiao Se had learned to tolerate but was never fond of.
He would take the next two days to go to the grove to honor his father's memory and to prepare the place for new memories for himself and Xiao Se.
After spending the two days in the grove and doing what he had planned, it was now getting closer to time to reunite with Xiao Se and share something he had longed to see with the person that was most special to him.
Standing in the pavilion Wuxin hears Xiao Se's footsteps in the snow as he made his way through the grove towards him.
He smiles and turns towards him and the sight that greets him will remain with him forever.
Xiao Se is wearing robes of deep blue almost black with silvery white sleeves and embroidery and in his hair is a pin of delicate silver and blue leaves. He looks like the heavens in human form and Wuxin can not help but be in awe of him.
Surrounded by the red plum blossoms and the crisp white snow makes him even more beautiful.
Wuixn teleport to his soulmate before he can take another step towards him, and gently as he can presses him against the nearest tree and himself and starts to kiss him like he would disappear if he didn't.
His soulmate gasps against his mouth but doesn't stop him, but instead wraps his arms around his waist and back to press him even closer to him while not breaking the kiss.
Wuxin move one hand through Xiao Se's hair and cradles the back of his head so to make sure the tree doesn't hurt him and he brings his other to the side of his neck and deepen the kiss.
Their lips move together in sync and with a heat that would make the sun feel cold in comparison.
Wuxin feels Xiao Se move one of his hands from his back to his chest and slightly pushes him away, not harshly just to signal he needs air.
Wuxin move his lips from his soulmate's lips but does not stop kissing him while he catches his breath.
Xiao Se's breathing was rough and tiny gasps and moans were heard as Wuxin kissed his cheek ,below his ear, down and back up his neck, his chin before Wuxin brought his lips to hover above his.
As Wuxin watches Xiao Se and he looks at him the heat doesn't leave their eyes but the feeling of rightness that has been missing a piece since coming to Tian Wai Tian falls back into place.
Xiao Se moves forward before Wuxin can completely absorb the feeling of wholeness between them again. They end up on the ground with snow and flowers around with his soulmate lying on top of him.
Xiao Se looks down at Wuxin with plum blossoms in his hair and the look of understanding and love in his eyes as he knows they were whole again and that together is where they belong. He brings his lips to Wuxin's, and Wuxin bring his arms around his body and holds him to him and they lose themselves to each other surrounded by flowers and snow.
Wuxin had planned to share the sight of the death of snow with Xiao Se to make up for our lack of time together but this was so much better than any sight the world could offer.
They could always try again next year or the year after that to see the death of snow and maybe rename it together. Because they had all the time in the world to see whatever they wanted together.
But now Wuxin will happily let the world fade away with the warmth and love of his soulmate surrounding him.
