    Summary

    (A.K.A. just another typical day at the photo studio.)

    -- In which they’re both far too enthusiastic about pretend-dating, and the line between reality and fiction gets blurred

    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

    "That cough still sounds awful...Did you take any cold medicine?"
    "Don’t need to, I don’t have a- *cough cough cough cough*"
    "Dunno man, sounds like a cold..."
    "No, it’s not. And we are too broke for cold medicine."
    "I think it’s very inspiring that you believe pure denial can conquer the common cold. I’ll take a leaf out of your book when I inevitably catch it. "
    "Idiots can’t catch colds."

    When Lu Guang comes down with pneumonia, the fever dreams have him convinced he's drowning, and Cheng Xiaoshi would do anything to make him feel better.

    Summary

    "Gege." Hua Cheng cupped his cheek as he looked at him with heated intent. "Let me take you to bed."

    "To sleep?" he asked glibly.

    Xie Lian was certain Hua Cheng did not mean to sleep.

    Summary

    “You can go on, if you want,” he said when Zhou Zishu stopped for breath. “Scold and punish me for seven years, then I will scold you for the next seven, and then we’ll have to find something else to do.”

    The thought of years took any other words out of his mouth. Zhou Zishu had gotten used to measuring time in thimblefuls. A New Year’s day, a drift of peach blossoms blown off the trees: each one, perhaps, the last he would see. There wasn’t a container in his mind big enough to hold years, decades, centuries.

    Summary

    Xie Lian isn’t particularly worried about the progress of his relationship with Hua Cheng. After all, Hua Cheng seems to be fine with just kissing and hugging for now; wouldn't it be weird to ask for something else? Maybe one day they’d do more, when Xie Lian is ready. He wants to be ready.

    Then, Xie Lian has a nightmare.

    Summary

    Xie Lian has been in love with his roommate for longer than even he knows and he’s pretty sure Hua Cheng likes him too. With all the flirting and passionate glances and times he swore they were about to kiss, it really was the most reasonable explanation.
    Still, it might take a little vacation back to where it all began to give them both the courage they need to take that next step.

    Summary

    “Today,” Hua Cheng announces, barging into He Xuan’s disaster of a room, really another realm fit for Eldritch monsters with the way his eyes refuse to focus entirely in the glow of He Xuan’s four million black-shaded lamps, “gege kissed me. On the cheeks. Both of them. Are you listening?”

    “I could’ve been masturbating,” says He Xuan.

    “Your dick is small enough that I wouldn’t notice, I’m sure. Like jacking off a little peanut.”

    “You—”

    Pretending to date Xie Lian is a lot like gambling. Roll on, slot machine. Roll on.

    Summary

    “We talked about it,” Xie Lian says, hearing the frustration in his voice. “I want to go to the next step.”

    “It's okay if you don't—” Hua Cheng started.

    “I do! God, I want it so much. I don't want you thinking that I don't. I—I think about it all the time, San Lang.”

    Hua Cheng looks pleased, the tops of his cheekbones flushing to match his red shirt, and his thumb strokes the back of Xie Lian's hand.

    “What do you think about, gege?”

    --

    Xie Lian seeks a lesson in desire. And another. And another.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng is passion and loyalty personified when he speaks, his voice a raw whisper. “Let me love you. Let me show you. I promise you, I’ll never leave you. I’ll never hurt you. I’ll forever be devoted to you, and only you.”

    Xie Lian used to think he had experienced every emotion there was to experience in this world, but he was wrong. Being loved by Hua Cheng is like being a butterfly, delicate and precious, held in the cusp of his hands with all the gentleness in the world, being kept safe from the raging winds and the way people could be cruel. And suddenly, everything he’s ever done makes sense to him, it means something now, all because Hua Cheng sees him. He knows him.

    One person is enough.

    Summary

    The picture is of Wei Ying, that much is clear. It’s of a lot more of Wei Ying than Lan Zhan is used to seeing. He supposes that, technically, Wei Ying is dressed. It’s a bare technicality, since one of Wei Ying’s hands has rucked up his black tank top practically to his collarbone, showing a long expanse of abdomen and one nipple. Sweat beads on his sternum, catching the light like jewels. His other hand is--Lan Zhan feels his eyes widen, as though unable to look away from a train wreck--on his hip, one thumb tugging down the waistband of a pair of red briefs. Wei Ying is biting his lower lip and looking directly into the camera, sultry, his eyes dark and inviting. His erection is obvious, outlined against the red of the briefs and framed carefully with the hand on his hip. Lan Zhan’s brain goes wildly, screamingly blank.

    Or: Lan Zhan accidentally finds his best friend's OnlyFans account and has an ongoing emotional crisis.
