It sure sounds like I am... Lan Zhan, I don't really care what you share with your brother, that's your business anyway, I'm just... confused? Overwhelmed. At a loss?
No. Merely misunderstood. He thinks I am as much to blame as you are, I should have made myself clearer before. I would not discuss it if you asked me not to share the details, it is your privacy as well as mine.
Are you alright Wei Ying?
Yes. Would you like to go on a date with me Wei Ying? I have many options for you to choose from.
I'm fine! Everything's fine. I'm texting with you and everything is fine!
Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, is that a yes to we're dating, or a yes to you want to go on dates, I feel like there's a difference? Or, wait, is it, dating only each other or dates you just want to do or
Better in the shared blame. I cannot speak one way or another for the level of detail, no matter how much he asked, so better for that too. Worse for how long it took for us to get here.
...Wei Ying. Do not lie.
Wei Ying have I not made my interest in you more than obvious? You are the only person I have been, or ever will be, interested in dating.
To kiss you. In public. Take you home to my family and you to take me to yours, show me where you grew up. Fuck you in your childhood room. To go to sleep, knowing when I wake you will be beside me. Slow and sweet sex until you cry, fuck you when I want to. Whenever I want to. Morning sex. Look after you when you are studying, or sleepy. Cook for you. Live with you, one day. A future.
Do not say yes if you do not want these things, I do not need you to return the depth of my feelings.
( let him have a moment, that was stunningly (but predictably, he reflects, Lan Zhan isn't going to gloss things over or make pretenses) direct. )
Lan Zhan, I'm saying yes. Maybe not to all of that all at once, but I'm not opposed? Also you are so bold! How long have you been fantasising like this? I'm blushing, I'm blushing, ah! You're domestic and also dreaming of the bedroom... well, more than we had. How am I supposed to find any of that undesirable?
[ take your time Wei Ying, he will wait a lifetime. ]
Mn. I have been told that I am 'intense'. I know I am in this context, if not more so than usual. So I can wait until you know that is what you want, too.
Not long enough, and more than long enough, something like that. Wow, Lan Zhan, we'll take it as it comes, okay? Because I'm not saying I mind any of those things, you're just... honestly, you're so surprisingly straightforward! It's kind of hot.
( Is he supposed to find it hot, because he does, whoops )
Yeah, I, uh. Okay. If you were being subtle before, no, I definitely did not get any of it, because I had no idea, I thought I was just annoying you for the longest time! Then you finally gave in to my countless charms and we were friends!
( This is the equivalent of HE LIKES ME? HE REALLY LIKES ME?! )

Wait, I keep saying wait, there's a lot of things breaking my brain right now, you're both sharing your sex lives with each other.
... Except I'm the asshole in yours?
no subject
I merely asked him two questions and he asked me questions for two weeks. I am not explicit.
You are not an asshole.

Look, are we going to date or are we not?

Wei Ying.

So. We're dating now?
( Smooth as sandpaper askjfads )
I mean that's what you were saying... maybe? Right? I am getting this right, right?
no subject
Yes. Unless you object.
[ A small exhale that is not a sigh, but not too far from it. ]
I would like to date you.
no subject
Fool )
I don't object! I don't, I didn't say I was. This is—hahaha, it's a surprise, but the good kind. What does it change anyway?
no subject
Good. I had thought I was obvious, but I will strive to be more so.
What does it change? Now I can date you. I will take you places, make you happy. Whatever you wish to change, we can.

[ A huff of amusement. ]
How long have I known you, Wei Ying?
no subject
Not long enough, and more than long enough, something like that. Wow, Lan Zhan, we'll take it as it comes, okay? Because I'm not saying I mind any of those things, you're just... honestly, you're so surprisingly straightforward! It's kind of hot.
( Is he supposed to find it hot, because he does, whoops )
no subject
I have been wanting you, and thinking of that, for almost as long as we have known each other.
I have learnt patience. And that subtlety does not work on you, if I am to convey any intent.
no subject
Yeah, I, uh. Okay. If you were being subtle before, no, I definitely did not get any of it, because I had no idea, I thought I was just annoying you for the longest time! Then you finally gave in to my countless charms and we were friends!
