[ The exhaustion of the whole thing—four orgasms and body already starting to vaguely ache for more—has led him to lie there with his eyes closed, breathing the other's scent in from his blanket, not really noticing the sound of Yingxing climbing the stairs until he clears his throat and moves to sit on the edge of the bed.
Dan Heng's eyes blink back open, and he lifts his head just a little, torn between scent and affection.
Congee... and curry. The thought of food has his stomach turn over in a strange mix of hunger and revulsion. He needs to eat, hasn't eaten all day, but also he—is he even hungry for anything else that isn't more of this? He's not sure.
But he should eat.
To Yingxing's question, he nods slowly. Thankfully, the other is calm enough about the whole thing that he doesn't fully realize he's been heard (though logic, once it sets back in after his heat is over, will make that realization for him); it makes it easier to lean into him, to allow himself to be cared for. ]
I... a little, yes. The cool bath helped abate some of the fever for now.
[ The orgasms did more, but he doesn't mention that. ]
I could eat.
[ A pause, and then, his voice thick with awkwardness: ]

...Thank you, Yingxing.
