au where wangxian work in opposite buildings and their windows face each other, except that, at first, the one who used lwj's office was lxc and he and wwx used to friendly wave to each other every now and then during the day,
2
but then lxc got a promotion and so did lwj, who's now the person using that office.
3
Cue to lwj's first day in the new position and, not even halfway through morning, he catches sight of someone across the street frantically waving his arms at him.
4
(Wwx had been trying to get his friend's attention for like 20 minutes, he's not used to being ignored and he's, as it's usual for him, running on lots of coffee and very little sleep).
Lwj glares at him for half a minute before pulling the shutters closed.

5
This goes on for several days in a row. Lwj doesn't want to bother lxc with such a trivial matter, even tho it's annoying, so he doesn't ask his brother if this was something that happened to him.
6
Meanwhile wwx doesn't understand the one eighty his friendly office neighbor went through (also did he get hotter over night out of the sudden or did they clean the windows?) but he hates being ignored so he comes up with a plan.
7
And that plan is: go talk to his office neighbor and find out what's got him so serious out of the blue.
8
He doesn't know anything about the guy except that they work mostly the same hours, tho he's usually still there by the time wwx's shift ends, so he decides to wait in front of the guy's building and talk to him.
9
As luck would have it, wwx sees him leave the building just as he's about to cross the street, but before he can do it, the lights turn green and there are way too many cars for wwx to try to dodge. Plus, the guy is on his phone.
10
However, he does see wwx and seems to recognize him so he proceeds to smile and nod like nothing happened. Wwx waves back, very confused and by the time he can safely cross the street again the man is gone.
The next day he's back to closing the shutters on wwx.

11
This ofc intrigues wwx even more so he decides to talk to him again and this time it's actually lwj he sees but it suddenly feels too lame to ask something like "why aren't you smiling at me anymore?" to someone that's basically a stranger nvm that's exactly what he wants to know
12
So, when he finds himself face to face with this very handsome office neighbor (who looks slightly different from yesterday, did his hair /grow/ over night??) wwx blurts the first thing that comes to his mind, which is: we should talk
13
And lwj, who also recognizes him as the anoying man from across the street, but had not noticed how mesmerizing he was, feels a little blindsided and can only nod.
14
Next thing they know they are in the cafe next to their building, wwx having yet more coffe even tho he really shouldn't, and lwj with his tea. They look at each other for a very long time, wwx might be squirming a little (ssshh, it's the cafeine)
15
and lwj is feeling a lot of feelings and, to his surprise, none of them is annoyince.
16
"So," they say at the same time, but lwj, ever the gentleman, gestures for him to go first.
"So, uh, what, uh, what happened?" Wwx manages to ask at last.
"What happened with what?" Lwj asks back with a slight frown.

17
"With you," wwx explains. "You changed."
Lwj, who's had the same haircut for over a decade, doesn't follow.
Wwx huffs a frustrated sign. "You don't talk to me anymore!" he accuses.

"This is the first time we are speaking."
"Uuugh, you know what i mean." Wwx waves at him, as an example.

19
[If this was a different kind of au this would be the point where lwj would realize wwx is talking about lxc and then angsty misunderstanding would ensue as he thinks wwx has a crush on his brother. That's not what we're doing here.]
20
Lwj blinks at him. "I do not," he insists.
"Oh c'mon! You can't just gaslight me like that just because you look hotter now. Just yesterday you smiled at me now you trying to pretend that never happened!"

21
It didn't. Lwj would definitely remember smiling at anyone, let alone this man. But that's not the part his brain latched on.
Hot. This beautiful man thinks he's hot. Wait! That's not exactly what he said! He said hotter.

"...and just cause we don't know each other's names yet doesn't mean we're not frie--"
"How long?" Lwj asks, interrupting wwx's ramblings. "How long have you, have /we/, been waving to each other?" Wwx tells him. "Oh."

"Oh?"
"You have been communicating with my brother," lwi tells him. "I've only recently moved into the office that was his."

24
"You have a twin?" Wwx's pretty sure he's seen this happen in a soap opera once!
"No. He is older. We do look alike, but--"
"You're hotter."
"...his hair is shorter."
They speak at the same time and also blush at the same time.

"Lan Zhan" lwj says after a moment
"Uh?"
"My name is Lan Zhan, my brother is lan huan. So you don't get confused," he explains.
"Cool haha. I'm Wei Ying. You're not gonna mistake me by anyone."
"I could never. Wei Ying is unique."

Wwx: 😳
27
And well, after this day lwj stops closing his shutters, and starts waving back, to wwx's utter delight.
He also starts meeting wwx at the end of the day, with decaf tea cause cafeine at this time is not good for someone who's trying to rest, Wei Ying.

28
And if they start to write messages to each other like taylor swift and her neighbor in that music video then what about it? And if that's how one of them asks the other out for real so what? If wwx's 👋 becomes 😘, it's really no one's problem.
29
Also, once they're officially boyfriends and tell the story to lxc he laughs a little embarrassed before confessing:
"I was actually trying to get the attention of the man on the office above yours, the fist time I waved."
"I was actually trying to get the attention of the man on the office above yours, the fist time I waved."
30
Wwx laughs hard at that and then tells him that's nmj, and cause he's a good future brother in law, he also gives lxc his number and that's how nielan ends up going together to wangxian's wedding a year later.
The end! 👋
The end! 👋
