Being in Wonderland does have its perks, and walking side by side with Wei Ying like this is one of them. They didn't have to sneak furtive touches, or stand one person apart. Their touches weren't limited to carrying each other when weakened, to fighting back-to-back, to healing, to the occasional dog scare.

He looks forward to a life of being free to walk arm in arm with his husband, to do as he does now, and gently guide Wei Ying's head onto his shoulder. "Mn. No one else should see these but you and I." It isn't embarrassing to desire one's spouse, but it certainly might be a problem to distribute physical representations of one's desire.

It's quite an uneventful trip back to the room, and he gently places the stacked papers underneath a flat weight, his touch with them careful, extra delicate.
