A/N: Been itching to write some more Yunli for a while, I've grown increasingly fond of her as time goes by. This particular idea, likewise, was one I mused on a fair bit~
Do enjoy~
Intimacy Training
Chapter 1: The Arrangement
The Wardance was nearing its conclusion, and thanks to that peace was steadily returning to the Xianzhou Luofu.
Yanqing was glad for that. Partly because it meant his home was safer yes, but also because it meant he could relax more and had ample free time to spend... such as with Yunli. The annoying brat of a swordswoman who had become his girlfriend, following a clumsy confession in Aurum Alley and embarrassing kiss. Never let it be said he was a tactical genius at romance, though at least Yunli wasn't either.
Regardless of their stumbling start to a relationship it was... nice. It didn't feel like a lot had changed between them but just being able to call Yunli his girlfriend brought him an embarrassing kind of pride, though he was mindful to keep that to himself lest Yunli whack him with her sword for saying something like that aloud. That and because Jing Yuan teased them enough as it was; he didn't need even more ammunition.
Hence why he hadn't told him he was taking Yunli on a date. Or pseudo-date, really, since it didn't feel fancy enough to label a proper date.
Approaching the popular arching bridge over the Starskiff path Yanqing came to a stop, Yunli by his side. ''A lot of people come here to enjoy the views you know. Something about it being over all the Starskiffs makes outlanders nervous.''
Yunli snorted at that. ''The way you say it makes you sound like you're giving me a guided tour to impress me.''
Yanqing huffed, annoyed. ''I'm trying to be nice, thanks.''
Yunli seemed to pause at that, the sass slipping from her face before she sighed. ''Yeah, you are. My bad.''
The apology wasn't the first she'd made but it left him flustered all the same, not expecting her to cave so easily. He still vividly recalled their first meetings where it took a monstrous effort just to get a simply apology out of her, but now all it took was a counterargument and she was throwing n the towel. Though then again he had mellowed out a bit too, he would admit; he knew better than to pull rank on her by this point and whenever he did all she had to do was snark and he'd realise his mistake. Turns out keeping their egos in check did wonders for their closeness.
That, and perhaps openly dating smoothed over such conflicts – a thought he reflected on as Yunli grasped his left hand in her right, squeezing it. He blushed as did she but neither said anything about it, perhaps not having the confidence to admit just holding hands was oddly nice. Thus without a word Yanqing turned and led Yunli further into Starskiff Haven, mind on taking her to a nice little noodle restaurant.
That was until they passed by an alleyway and heard an odd noise. He wasn't the only one to hear it; Yunli herself perked up and turned her eyes onto the dim alleyway, suspicion in her eyes. A single glance was traded between them and they released each other's hands and ventured forth, prepared to draw their weapons if need be.
The sound was faint, so much so most citizens hadn't even picked up on it despite walking the same route they did – the thrum of voices, honking Starskiffs, doorbells and squealing kids muting the low, husky noises that emerged from the depths of the alley. Yanqing kept his guard up because of that, mind already running through a myriad of simulations and how to counter them – when he picked up a particular note. A feminine whimper.
'A hostage?' That made things more complicated, but they had the element of surprise on their side.
Yunli seemed equally wary and both drew near the corner of the alley; the narrow corridor taking a sharp left that formed a dip behind the buildings, allowing them to peer around the edge-
And in an instant any thoughts of battling foes fled their minds as they laid eyes on Caelus and March 7th.
''Mm~! H-Harder...!''
Still dressed in her red, snug-fitting Xianzhou dress March clutched onto the wall with head bowed, her expression twisted in a look of pure, unadulterated bliss – bent over and with her panties around her thighs as Caelus fucked her. Even from their position they could see Caelus's sizeable length slam into March, how every impact sent ripples over her bare ass cheeks and made her gasp or whimper, her juices glistening along his manhood as it pounded into her.
His hand came up then, pulling open March's dress just so he could grab her breasts – squeezing those plump melons so roughly yet making March whine in delight, her body jerking back towards him and impaling herself onto his rock-hard cock. The noises that their union made were so much louder now, every slap of skin or wet gasp easily heard by the two warriors, filling their minds with the sinful noises.
Yanqing knew he should intervene, that they were being inappropriate in a public place... but he was paralysed by the sight. Partly by the sheer scandal committed before him, but also the lewdness of it – his eyes drawn to March's breasts as Caelus groped them. How they jiggle as he pounded her and how her face twisted in pure delight as he railed her. It must feel good, he noted to himself, wondering – even if only for a split-second – what it must be like to be with a girl like March. Or with a girl in general... like Yunli.
Yunli was likewise paralysed by the lewd sight, her whole face burning red and lips moving with no sound escaping – soaking in the sex act with rapt attention. From how March was groped to the noises she made as Caelus fucked her, the pure relief and satisfaction that rolled off of her tongue. Caelus's cock caught her eyes more than once and sent butterflies through her stomach, remembering her brief peeks into more mature content online. She'd only ever had her fingers for company on those daring nights, but the sights often refused to leave her head for days at a time, and seeing Caelus's dick was filling her head with all sorts of embarrassing thoughts.
''Mm! Frick, frick...!''
''Shit, here it comes...!''
Flesh slapped, moans were shared – and March clasped a hand over her mouth just as she squealed, knees banging together and back arching sharply as she nearly collapsed – held up solely by Caelus as he rutted into her, grunting like an animal as he unloaded his semen into her. The creampie dripped out of March even as their orgasm continued, staining the walkway beneath her legs and making her whimper in embarrassment.
Their gradual finish was what stirred Yanqing out of his daze, face scarlet as he realised not just he but also Yunli had stood and watched them orgasm – prompting him to hurriedly cough. ''Excuse me!''
''Oh shit-!'' Startled Caelus was quick to pull out, and with a yelp of her own March turned away from the voice, covering herself with one arm and yanking her panties up with her other. ''Sorry, we were- Yanqing?''
Yanqing swallowed and pointedly faced away from them, giving them some modicum of privacy. ''Caelus, March. M-Might I ask why you two are... you know...''
Not the most authoritative scolding he could've given, but at least everyone was too embarrassed to pick up on it – March being the one to speak. ''Sorry Master Yanqing! We were just uh... catching up? Yeah, catching up!''
''One hell of a way to catch up...'' Yunli drawled, stealing a glance at the pair before looking away, one hand covering her eyes.
Yanqing cleared his throat. ''R-Regardless! In future please do this behind closed doors – you're lucky we're the ones who caught you, so I'll let you off with a warning this time.''
''Thank you, Master Yanqing!''
The earnest chirp of his student would normally be an endearing sound, but after watching her get fucked senseless by his comrade-in-arms... it was just embarrassing. Mercifully though his duty was done and so with haste he grabbed Yunli's hand and pulled her away, leading the pair of them out of the alleyway – lingering just long enough to make sure nobody else would walk in on the two redressing before making their way further down the street.
Conversation though was understandably sparse, their minds on what they'd just seen. Sex wasn't some taboo they knew nothing about of course, but both were warriors by trade and high-ranking Xianzhou ones to boot – sex and risqué romance wasn't exactly in the curriculum. As such just knowing two of their friends were fucking was embarrassing enough, but to actually see it with their own eyes...
Yunli swallowed. ''That was uh... pretty...''
Yanqing nodded dimly. ''Y-Yeah.''
Silence befell them once more and both fidgeted, sharing a glance only to immediately look aside, their blushes darkening – unknowingly sharing the same thought.
'I wonder if we could do it together...?'
Alas before either could voice such a desire Yanqing's phone beeped four times – the standard signal for trouble from a Cloud Knight, prompting him to pause and sigh.
''What now...'' Plucking out his phone he need only glance at the message to grimace. ''Some IPC grunts are causing an incident again, I'll have to go.''
Yunli sighed and let go of his hand. ''Sure, sure.''
''Sorry-''
A flick to his nose made him grunt. ''Seriously, go, it's fine. Besides... I need some time to think.''
Yanqing's throat closed up and his cheeks warmed. Rather than speak further he instead turned, hesitated – and then leaned in, kissing her cheek before dashing off.
Leaving behind a blushing Yunli, one hand caressing her smooched cheek, an idea brewing in her mind.
Sex was a new thing, and if there was one thing she didn't want to do when she had her first with Yanqing, it was screw up and embarrass herself.
So what better way than to 'study' beforehand?
X-x-X
Of all things that was to happen today, getting caught fucking March was pretty high up there.
Matched only by getting messaged by Yunli, asking to meet up. Alone.
Curiosity though was a damn powerful motivator – almost as much as Stellar Jades – and so with curiosity compelling him he made his way back to Starskiff Haven, just a little over an hour after she and Yanqing had caught them. March, meanwhile, had left to go check up with Pom-Pom.
It was no less busy than it was an hour ago but he weaved through the crowd without much issue, the hood of his jacket pulled up so nobody recognised him on sight, mostly for Yunli's benefit – he imagined she didn't want anyone overhearing them. A prospect confirmed when he saw her waiting of him outside the very same alley she'd caught him in, the memory warming his cheeks but not stopping him from approaching the petite swordswoman.
''Yo.'' Caelus called out as he neared.
Yunli jumped slightly as if knocked out of thought, but rather than yelp she just huffed. ''Took you long enough.''
''I mean, you sent the message like seven minutes ago?''
Yunli though just rolled her eyes and beckoned him to follow. With a mixture of embarrassment and curiosity he followed, looking over his shoulder a few times to make sure nobody was following them, though none did. Only when they turned the corner and stood out of sight did Yunli stop, her face growing rosy as she turned to face him.
''I need your help.'' Yunli then said, voice tight. ''With a... particular issue.''
Caelus shrugged. ''Sure, name it.''
Yunli hesitated for a second but visibly banished it, soon speaking. ''I want to be closer with Yanqing – specifically like how you and March uh, got closer. So I want you to show me how to do it.''
For a moment, Caelus didn't understand. Then the dots connected and his face heated up, warmth tingling his cheeks as he spluttered. ''W-Wait, you mean you want me to-''
''-do me? Yeah.'' Yunli rubbed her elbow, self-conscious. ''Please? Yanqing would never let me live it down if I screwed up when we do it for the first time, so I'd rather know how this stuff works beforehand... plus, you seem to know a lot if March is any indication.''
The half-hearted jab did little to quell his embarrassment, but the offer was a not-unreasonable one. Couple with the fact Yunli was pretty cute, and his reservations were rapidly dwindling. ''Uh... gimme some time to think on it?''
''Sure.'' She answered quickly, already speed-walking past him. ''Just gimme an answer quick, got it?''
''Ah, yeah-'' Aaand she's gone. ''Hah... March will wanna hear about this, huh...''
X-x-X
Unbeknownst to Yunli at the exact same moment March found herself at the small garden where she learned how to wield a sword.
Not least because her master had requested her presence.
''So Master Yanqing, what's up? More secret techniques? A new training method? Ooh ooh, are we gonna slay some bad guys?''
Yanqing smiled placatingly at her. ''Not this time, March. Sorry for calling you here so suddenly, but it's personal reasons.''
''Oh...'' Though confused March's enthusiasm didn't dim much. ''Well, I'm not as strong as Dan Heng or Caelus, but I'm sure I can kick some butt if you need me to!''
''Not quite.'' He chuckled quietly, almost bashful. ''Listen.. about earlier.''
In an instant March froze up, her cheeks quickly reddening. ''Aha... oh yeah, that happened huh...''
''Yeah.'' Yanqing looked aside but kept talking. ''You're not in trouble before you ask, but I... have a favour I need to ask.''
''A... favour?''
''...I want to get closer to Yunli. We've only really held hands and kissed so far, but I can tell after seeing you and Caelus today the idea of... i-intimacy is probably high on her mind.'' Yanqing drew a slow breath. ''Thus, I want to ask you if you can show me the ropes, so to speak.''
''W-Wait, you mean-?!'' Mindfully March stopped herself before she cried it out for all to hear; lowering her voice hurriedly. ''Master Yanqing, you wanna sleep with me?''
Yanqing's cheeks darkened at the question. ''Technically speaking, yes. Though primarily so I can learn more about this kind of stuff so Yunli would one-up me – she'd hold it over my head for the next few centuries, I'm sure.''
Though embarrassing the idea that Yanqing already saw a future with Yunli that would last centuries – it was adorable and melted March's heart. Though she also noted that he said learning about sex was his primary reason, not his only reason. The idea that he found her hot was an embarrassing one, not least because her heart belonged to Caelus, but she owed Yanqing a lot for all the training he'd given her while also managing his own share of work. Plus, she could admit that her own first time with Caelus would probably have gone a bit smoother if both knew what they were doing.
''I'll... need to think on this. And talk with Caelus about it first.'' March said, unsure but nodding. ''I'll get back to you tonight, is that okay?''
''Yes, more than okay.'' Yanqing looked relieved. ''Please don't feel pressured into accepting either, March. If you and Caelus aren't happy with the idea, I won't hold it against you if you refuse.''
''Understood! I'll get back to you as soon as possible!''
X-x-X
Evening came, and with it Caelus and March regrouped on the Astral Express.
While the others were all having dinner and talking over the day's events, the pair of them had retreated to Caelus's room for the time being – a single discussion on their minds.
''So... Yunli approached you too, huh?''
''Yeah.'' Caelus admitted.
Reclining back onto the bed he stared at the ceiling for only a moment before March's face filled his vision; his girlfriend crawling atop him with a pout. ''Mn... the idea of you with another girl makes me all jelly.''
Caelus chuckled. ''It's Yunli though, she's a friend.''
''Point.'' March sighed, laying atop him. ''I mean Yanqing is too...''
Caelus hummed at that. In truth the idea of March getting ploughed by someone else was definitely a new feeling, one he wasn't entirely sure if he was fine with... but at the same time Yanqing and Yunli were friends, and there was no element of romance to this. It was basically a one night stand with both of them to show them the ropes and help take their relationship to the next level. After everything that had happened on the Luofu, surely that much was easily done?
Plus who knows, maybe doing other people for a change would give them some new experience to spice up their own antics in the bedroom – or alleyway – and make things more fun. All he knew for certain though was that March would remain in his heart, and he was pretty confident in saying the opposite was true too. And, if nothing else, they could help some of their friends take their own relationship to the next level.
''I'm fine with it if you are.'' Caelus finally settled on.
''Same.'' March sighed, snuggling in. ''Now gimme my daily dose of smooches~''
With a chuckle Caelus complied – and by the time the pair showed up for dinner with the others, his face was covered in March's lipstick marks.
A simultaneous text sent out to both Yunli and Yanqing just a minute before midnight.
[Let's meet up tomorrow night.]
[END]
A/N: This'll be a four-chaptered one; first the prologue, second will be Caelus x Yunli, third will be March x Yanqing and then a final Yanqing x Yunli finale~ Do look forward to it~
