[ Jin Ling had known Lestat would be coming over to visit that night and held off from dressing down for bed. Only his hair had been undone from its top knot, but still sported all of the usual charms, plus an extra piece. Lestat didn't have to wait even a minute before he pulled the window open to greet him.
He returned the kiss with a sweetness he seldom revealed elsewhere and stepped back to let him enter. ]
Lestat, I'm - [ He should say it. He meant it, didn't he? He'd said it to others without meaning it half as much. ]- glad that you're here.
[ He'd spent the last few hours half-convincing himself that Lestat wasn't going to show up, that he was ridiculous for wanting to see him and equally ridiculous for doubting him, given that Lestat had yet to let him down.
[He laughs gently and slides into the room. Wrapping his arms around his smaller lover, Lestat pulls him in close to him. There's all that anxiety in that beautiful head so now is the time to clear it.]
I had to time it perfectly so I can be here the moment the clock turned.
[The vampire kisses him again then trails his fingers along his cheek.]
[ He feels hot all the way up the top of his head both from his admittance and the response and takes advantage of Lestat's hug to hide his face for a moment. The height difference between them has lessened a bit over the last month, but he's still some inches shorter and easily enfolded.
It's comforting. Reassuring, as is the fact that Lestat went through the effort of timing his visit.
In fact, it's so much of both those things that Jin Ling is starting to retreat and create some distance when he's stopped by the kiss. ]

A gift?
[ He leans a little into the caress. ]

[Reaching into his pocket, he pulls out a little box. It's elegantly wrapped and he smiles as he offers it to him. Then he nods to it.
After opening it, Jin Ling will find a pair of sparkling ear cuffs. Slip on, of course.]
Happy birthday, A-Ling.
