Chen doesn't actually like tourney. Never has, probably never will. He joined the team mostly because he didn't know how to tell their coach no and he stayed —
Well, he stayed for a lot of reasons, but mostly he stayed because of Ben.
That's also beautiful. Chen presses into one of the bruises with his thumb.
He leans down and kisses him and then curls up with his head on Ben's shoulder. "Love you."
Good thing it's also Chen's.
(He remembers what he dreams, that night.)
They can get a private train car on the way home and tell no one to come in and spend the entire time naked and kissing.
