Pinching someone's cheek to prove it wasn't a dream, yeah, maybe that was a little childish.
Maybe Somnus was just so exasperated that he didn't even know what to say.
Crap, is this one of those moments where a "love that lasted a thousand years dies instantly" or something?!
"Um… Somnus?" Li Shen said carefully, fighting the urge to panic while forcing his expression to stay calm.
That's when he noticed it, just a glimpse of color, the faintest blush on Somnus's perfectly shaped ear, peeking through strands of golden hair.
And then, when Somnus's hand slipped from his face down toward his mouth…
"W-wait, why the hell are you blushing?!" Li Shen blurted.
Somnus turned his head slightly, his tone was half reproachful and half breathless.
"How am I supposed to help it? You almost stopped my heart."
