Challenge: #411 - obsession
Warnings: none
Summary: Hua Cheng is overwhelmed by having his god next to him after eight hundred years.


He was here.

Eight hundred years of waiting and searching, desperate hopes and guilty fantasies—all that vanished to nothing, compared with the moment when his god reached out his hand in the bridal sedan and took Hua Cheng's offered hand. His Highness was real and warm and here. Hua Cheng could feel the living pulse of blood against his own dead skin, the slight shifts in grip as His Highness allowed himself to accept Hua Cheng's support.

Hua Cheng could walk for another eight hundred years like this, with his god and beloved beside him, and ask nothing more.
