I’m rereading Shelley Parker-Chan’s She Who Became the Sun and I thought I could be normal about Ouyang and Esen this time, but I can’t. What if I just make this complicated yearning everyone’s problem?
He put Esen's armor on the side table and took the fresh clothes from the clothes tree while Esen finished undressing. He came behind Esen to settle the garment on his shoulders. When his hands touched Esen's shoulders, the familiarity of that old gesture stunned him. After leaving behind his time as an attendant slave, Ouyang had only served Esen once again during his whole long rise from guard to commander to gen-eral. He remembered that time in flashes: Esen's surprise as he looked down to see his armor and flesh laid open by the spear. How in the physician's ger, Esen's blood had coated Ouyang's hands as he struggled to strip the ruined armor off, not trusting anyone else to do it. He remembered his desperate urge to ease Esen's pain, as intense as if it were his own body bleeding. And even then, in the moment that their bodies had been joined in a kinship of suffering, a smaller part of Ouyang had remembered his fate. for all that Ouyanf was a general of the Yuan, he didn't fight for the empire. His efforts had only ever been for Esen. He suddenly felt a deep longing to be back on campaign. Campaign was his and Esen's world, where the only things that mattered were the pride of carrying oneself honorably in battle, and the love and trust between warriors. The only place where Ouyang was ever happy.
