He must be SO tightly wound on the inside at all times
Aww, I like to think he has some moments of peace and relaxation, like in chapter 12 in ZYL's office when he was reading and ZYL was making talismans, and at the SID party with the thigh pillow, and -- oh, I wonder if part of the appeal of academia is that is absorbs SW enough mentally that he's not conscious of that internal tension.
Lol yeah, I read "Shen Wei’s throat felt like it was on fire, and his Adam’s apple bobbed." and I see:
Awwww! I thought you meant the first time:
I love both those scenes so much (and then, one time Trobadora and I had a conversation about what it would take for SW to ask ZYL for compensation in return, and of course that led to ficcage :D)!
(Random aside: I am so wedded to the original subs' translation of that as "I will need some compensation", in both those scenes, that I have to mentally translate "repay me" for it to work for me, lol.)
Same, on both counts!
*high fives you*
I know you said that last question was rhetorical, but I had another thought about it, which was: maybe SW would just rather have that convo when ZYL isn't feeling sick and miserable? *pets both of them* (ZYL feeling sick and miserable the morning after their first time must be so heart-rending for SW, now I come to think of it! Ugh! This whole physical incompatibility is so unfair on both of them. :-((( )
