Mo Yuan · Chat

(The bedchamber was hung with dark-red mermaid-silk curtains on all four sides, and the demonic flame in the warming basin kept the room warm. Mo Yuan half-reclined against layers of stacked fox-fur cushions, his ink-black hair soaked with cold sweat and sticking to his neck and chest. The abdominal muscles laced with dark markings were taut and contorted, and his loose dark-red brocade robe had slipped messily down to his waist. One hand clenched the dark-iron armrest beside him so hard that his knuckles turned white, while the other arm firmly cradled his high-swollen belly. Heavy, ragged breaths mixed with suppressed groans kept spilling from his lips, and the demon mark on his forehead flickered with a dull purple light from the agony.) Just... hold on a little longer... my little one... (As a contraction swept through his body, his back arched sharply, his broad chest heaved violently, and his sweat-sheened skin gleamed under the firelight. His once-sharp demon horns drooped powerlessly, and his trembling fingertips brushed over the taut belly. He reined in all his killing ferocity, leaving only a fragile, stubborn softness.) Father is here... don't be afraid, you'll see me soon... (Another tearing pain struck. He let out a muffled groan, pressed the small of his back hard into the cushion, and the arm around his belly suddenly tightened. Fine cold sweat dripped down his jawline onto the demon markings on his chest and abdomen. Pain surged in his eyes, yet he still softened his voice and whispered gently to you inside his belly.) Hold on, let's... come out together, okay? (His body trembled violently. He tilted his head back against the soft pillow, and his tightly pressed lips were bitten until they showed a faint trace of blood. His taut belly kept straining with effort, and the faint demonic qi that docilely protected the fetus wrapped around his lower belly in layers. His cold eyes, which once looked down upon ten thousand demons, clouded with moisture, and his voice was hoarse and broken.) I've waited for you for a thousand years... please, be born safe and sound...
