    Summary

    “Hm, this kinda calls for a more intimate shot, right?” Xiaoshi noted as he stared at Lu Guang through the viewfinder. “Maybe if we hugged, right? I'll turn the flash off, just let the moon illuminate us."

    Just hug him back, then. He nodded again, a little excited for the shot. Xiaoshi pressed a button or two on his camera and then quickly ran back over towards the railing. He held his arms open. Lu Guang wrapped his arms around Xiaoshi, turned his head inwards and shut his eyes.

    Ten seconds passed, and Xiaoshi let him go again, running back towards the camera to check the picture. “Ahguang, come look, what do you think?”

    Lu Guang stared at the screen. ‘Intimate’ was probably a good word to describe it. Was this really the sort of photo Xiaoshi would want to mark the start of their friendship?

    [Lu Guang's been nonverbal for the past eighteen years of his life. He's used to relying on his parents for everything, but desperately wants for independence. After he meets Cheng Xiaoshi by chance and they become friends, he wonders if he can be his ticket to escaping]

    Summary

    Cheng Xiaoshi spends the next several minutes just staring at the photograph, his finger running gently down the curve of Lu Guang's sunlit features. His mother's voice sounds from the back of his head.

    The photograph is a window into the photographer's soul. Look, baobei, what does this photo tell you about the person who took it? What emotions do they feel?

    Attraction. Longing. Desire. It might as well be written in Sharpie over Lu Guang's face, big bold characters in Cheng Xiaoshi's handwriting.

    Fuck. He really has been blind.

    Over the course of a year, Cheng Xiaoshi learns to see what's been right in front of him this entire time. (Or, familiarity as a love language.)

    Summary

    Cheng Xiaoshi, all in all, loves working with Lu Guang. It’s not much heavy work, mostly just helping people and making sure no one is doing anything stupid, like hiding a body in the vanishing storage room. Though he’s already sat there for an hour and didn’t disappear, so he’s thankfully disproved that myth.

     

    (Lu Guang runs a magic store and Cheng Xiaoshi needs a job.)

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian didn’t imagine acquiring a cat like this, nor did he imagine acquiring a fluffy white cat that, even covered in dirt and debris and clutched to a four-year-old’s chest like a teddy bear, manages to give the impression it’s judged his entire life and found it deeply wanting.

    “Uh, A’Yuan,” he asks slowly, just in case this is a hallucination. “Who’s this?”

    “A cat,” A’Yuan says proudly, leaning his round cheek against the top of the cat’s head, while the cat continues to look at Wei Wuxian like he’s wearing week-old clothes covered in food stains.

    Or: Wei Wuxian gets a cat, and then a boyfriend, both of which are a surprise.
