giving the impression that this isn't a dead end

[quatrains]

Getting Ryan to come over is surprisingly easy. He Ming thought there might be some kind of academic policy about not going to students' places, but then, they're in college. The administration probably doesn't care enough, which makes things much more convenient, especially if things should go wrong.

He's really hoping nothing will go wrong. He likes Ryan a lot. Someone smart and attractive and cool draws He Ming's attention and holds it easily, and with his prior attempts having apparently failed, he's taking drastic steps to show Ryan exactly what he wants.

(The help with math is nice, too.)

He Ming sprawls on his couch scrolling aimlessly through social media on his phone until he hears the knock on the door. Jumping to his feet, He Ming nearly sprints to let Ryan in. As soon as he opens the door he's grinning. "Come in, come in!"

How cute. Ryan does feel a little bad, though. He doesn't dislike He Ming, but he can't say he likes him in the way He Ming wants — not right now, at least. He's never really thought of him in that way, but he doesn't think of anyone in that way so it doesn't really count as a point against him. Ryan starts playfully inching He Ming's shirt up, silently encouraging him to take it off.

"If I didn't like it, you'd be on the floor right now." Which is decidedly a non-answer, but he hopes he doesn't push it.

"Do you not like to be teased?"

He Ming gives Ryan the benefit of the doubt, or at least he gives him the benefit of his massive crush that he wants so badly to be reciprocated. Ryan's lack of answer slips past and He Ming smiles at him as he reaches down to get the hem of his shirt and pull it off over his head. He lets it crumple into a pile on the ground next to the sofa.

"I don't mind being teased." Even with his torso exposed, He Ming is comfortable with himself and with sitting where he is. His hands start to travel over Ryan's chest in return. "As long as the teasing ends eventually."

Took a long weekend!

Well that's something Ryan can't promise. The hands on his chest make his gut tighten slightly, and even Ryan couldn't say if he likes it or not. He wraps both arms around He Ming and pulls him in close enough that it won't be an issue, trailing his fingers along his back as he gently kisses and nibbles at his neck. That someone apparently trusts him enough to allow him access to such a vital area is admittedly a rush, and he lets himself indulge more than he usually would.

He Ming is pliable to Ryan's touch, his exploratory touch and the feel of his mouth and even the brush of teeth against his throat. It's contact, and that's all he wanted. With a quiet moan He Ming begins to rock gently against his lower stomach.
