    Summary

    Xia Fei grins, unaware. A sour feeling curdles deep in the cavity of Liu Xiao’s chest in a slow killing. “Did you miss me that much?”

    I did. Liu Xiao wants to say, but doesn’t. He stops — hesitates. Then: replaces them with a practiced smile. The words die a brutal death at the back of his throat by the lined firing squad of his teeth. “Not at all. I saw you yesterday, after all."

    // or: In this one, Liu Xiao finds himself no longer a stranger.

    Summary

    Li Tianchen is the kind of person who believes that harm is a natural consequence of the way he expresses love. It stands to reason, then, that Liu Xiao should provide an environment where Li Tianchen is allowed to be dangerous.

    After all: what are friends for?

    Summary

    Liu Xiao holds the match between his fingers with less delicate care than he holds his microphone onstage. Li Tianchen frowns, blurts out before he can ask, “you taking up smoking, or?”

    The artificially-fake smile on Liu Xiao’s face would make anyone else think they’ve upset him, but Li Tianchen knows Liu Xiao well, knows his strangeness and odd intensity and pretentiousness the way knowing someone for a very long time settles into your bones. So, he doesn’t think Liu Xiao is mad, but he can tell Liu Xiao is judging him when he says, “it’s in bad form to adopt bad habits that drive the fans away.”

    “Yeah, because the gambling isn’t a bad habit,” Li Tianchen mutters, but he keeps his eyes on the bright-orange flame.

    or, liu xiao, li tianchen, and a stolen moment after the crushing high of performing. / li twins week day one: neo aurora au.

    Summary

    “What are you always so stressed for, little one?” Vein asks.

    Liu Xiao stills for a moment. Blinks once, twice. Tilts his head and says with a laugh, “I’m not sure what you mean,” but there’s an edge that wasn’t there a second ago. Calm. He reels himself back in, reins in the off-kilter smile. Trust Vein to mess up even this. He’s always been particularly difficult to leash.

    A gun at his throat, copper in his mouth, and intertwining threads unraveling.

    Summary

    Vein kisses him the same way that he slings an arm around his shoulder and the same way he reaches out to hit him in a spar, to press on a bruise: easy and not with romance, but as if grounding something wandering away. As if filling something cold and empty up with dry kindling and a spark. Liu Xiao leans into each touch identically.
