    Summary

    He considered it as he was walking towards their meetspot. He should not only photograph Lu Guang, he should totally try drawing him, too. Paper, graphite, pen, acrylics, oilpaints, none of it worked underwater. Lu Guang had probably never seen a drawing or painting before. Maybe he could pick up some spraypaint and try his hand at graffitiing the inside of his cave. Or, he supposed he could just do that with regular paints…maybe a paint that stuck on stone? Water resistant? Oh my god, he should make a fresco—
    Xiaoshi was cut off in his thoughts when he heard a melody coming from in front of him. He checked his phone, which showed three-past two. But when he looked up again, Lu Guang was in front of him. Another soft melody.

    [One year ago, Xiaoshi nearly drowned at sea, gaining a lifelong lung injury in the incident. In the present, he still wants to see the ocean for himself. A certain someone he meets who lives on the seafloor might allow him to pursue those dreams.]

    Summary

    “Hey. If you’re unwell, I’ve got something for you.” he got up with a grin and waited for Lu Guang to follow him.
    “I’m alright on my own.” Lu Guang excused, his voice quivering with just how bad he wanted to shout. He shakily stood up, but Xiaoshi grabbed his wrist. “Let me—”
    “I’m not letting you out of my sight until I know for a fact you’ve told the military to stop chasing me.”
    “You have my word—”
    “Fuck does your word mean to me?”
    “I return to the palace in two months.” he assured him.
    The grip on his hand tightened, and Cheng Xiaoshi raised their joint hands up. “Guess we’re stuck together until then.”

    Summary

    “Don’t worry, I’ve got this,” Cheng Xiaoshi brushes him off, left hand moving to grab the gearshift by his side, pulling it back and sending them into reverse, barely moving past a slowly spinning asteroid that shifts beside them. He bites his lip, eyes travelling across the viewport, mentally calculating his next moves as he swerves around pieces of debris and pulsating waves from nearby suns.

    “I don’t got this.”

    Or; Cheng Xiaoshi and his interstellar journey beyond the stars!
    ft. Lu Guang.

    Summary

    Inspired by the poem: War Photographer by Carol Ann Duffy

    Lu Guang is a war photographer who suffers from trauma from all the scenes he's seen in war zones, only able to helplessly watch as soldiers fall to the ground one by one in front of his eyes. A particular soldier had left a great impression on him.

    One is a jock, the other a nerd. They don't like each other very much.

    As they navigate their uni years and beyond, mystery unfolds, people disappear and love (might) happen.
