"god, this is a nice building," he says, as they all pile in. "way better than I could ever have afforded for us if you'd stayed with me, a-yuan, so maybe it's a good thing I got myself into trouble with organized crime, huh? were those skylights i saw? do you have skylights?"

"you're babbling," jin ling says flatly. "what's the point of us getting you ready for your big reunion if all you can talk about is skylights?" "not /only/," wwx says. "i could revisit my lecture on apple varieties that jingyi heard earlier—" "pass," mutters jingyi.

zizhen pats wwx on the shoulders. "try talking about feelings, maybe," he says, and then they reach the right floor. jingyi and jin ling frog march wwx between them; sizhui unlocks the door and lets them all in. "we're back," he calls, "and we, um, brought someone."

lwj emerges from one of the bedrooms. he's dressed comfortably, in a thin, wide-necked white tee, grey silk pajama pants, and a pair of rabbit-eared slippers he's had ever since sizhui can remember. he nods at sizhui, smiling slightly, and then his eyes hit wwx, and widen.

"oh," says wwx, so quietly it's mostly a gasp. "god. hi." "wei ying," says lwj. his eyes are so, so wide. he takes a half step towards him, and then stops. "how—" "i gave you those slippers," says wwx. "you—you kept—" "I kept everything you allowed me to keep," says lwj.

jingyi elbows sizhui. "does he mean /you/?" he hisses. sizhui looks back & forth between wwx & lwj. "we should go," he murmurs. "we should let them—" "no fucking way," says jin ling, in barely a stage whisper. "we spent /weeks/ tracking him down & now we're just supposed to—"

"lan zhan," says wwx, voice choked. "this—god, this is /stupid/," & then he crosses the space between them, his hands coming up to grip lwj's shirt, & kisses him. lwj freezes, just for an instant, & then kisses him back, hard, his hand coming up to curl at the nape of his neck.

"—leave," jin ling finishes. "leave, we're leaving, let's—" "we're going to jingyi's!!" sizhui calls out, face burning, and shoves his friends through his front door and kicks it closed behind him. for a minute they stand in the hall and just stare at each other.

"he's gonna mess up his hair," jin ling says mournfully. "we spent so long on it—" "to be fair, we spent so long on it so he /could/ mess it up," zizhen points out, & then there's a thump from the apartment & a gasped, "lan zhan—" & they all stumble away, mortified & laughing.
