#dadxianweek - found family

Thinking of wwx who's finally at a good place, both financially and mentally, so he can adopt a-yuan at last. He's known a-yuan since he was a baby and has been babysitting him since a-yuan's popo was still alive.
2
Since her death a-yuan's been passed around the wen family til he got to wn and wq who also can't keep him so wwx, who has loved this kid since forever has vowed to take care of a-yuan.

It took him some time to finally be able to fulfill his promise, but now, at 29, he's ready!
3
When the big day comes he's there bright and early to sign the papers and make a-yuan officially his!

Then they go out and have a celebratory lunch with the wens.
4
When they get home, with a sleepy a-yuan in his arms, wwx doesn't see the heap of clothes leaning against the wall of his building and he ends up tripping over it and nearly falling on his face with a-yuan.
5
Luckily he gets his feet under him before he drops his child hours after officially becoming a parent.

And that's when the heap of clothes moves???
6
It kinda starts to shake and draw in on itself.

Wwx is very confused.

He gingerly approaches the heap of clothes, then lightly tugs down the jacket at the top.
7
He hears a gasp before he sees a pair of wide eyes that seem to be trying to glare at him tho they're not being very successful cause they're smeared with cheap red eyeshadow and also full of tears.
8
The eyes stare at him until they have to blink.

"Uh, hi?" Wwx tries.

A hand comes out from the heap and brings the jacket back to where it was.

It's a small hand.

A kid's hand.

A kid with a face full of makeup.
9
Something tugs at wwx's heartstrings. He has a pretty good idea what is the story there.
10
He crouches at a safe distance, a hand holding a-yuan's head against his chest.

"Hi," he tries again. "I'm wei ying. I live in this building. Do you uh, live around here?" Nothing. Okay, fair. He clears his throat. "It's gonna get dark soon. You want me to call someone for you?"
11
The heap shakes. That's a no then.

A-yuan makes a little distressed noise when wwx moves his head to his other shoulder. He should really be getting his kid to their new home. But he can't just leave this other kid here so he takes a seat on the sidewalk.
12
"Ya know, i lived on the streets for months before i was adopted. It sucked. Granted, you can probably outrun dogs better than i did since you're what? 10? Better than being 6 out here."

He waits. Counts backward to ten.

"I'm 14," a voice comes from under the clothes.
13
It's part scared, part indignant."

Jackpot!
14
"Wh-why do I have to outrun dogs?"

"Well, there's only so much food out here." The kid shivers again. Shit. "Sorry, sorry. I'm... I'm not trying to scare you. I just want you to think about what you're doing." Wwx sighs. "I know home can be... difficult, but running away--"
15
"I didn't run away. They threw me out, after mom died."

"I'm sorry about that. You, uh, do you have a plan?"

The kid shrugs. Ofc there's no plan! This is a 14yo!
16
Once again wwx looks at a-yuan, who's managed to fall into a deep sleep even tho he's still mostly upright on wwx's arms. A-yuan, his son, who should be the whole focus of wwx's life right now.

They'll still be getting social worker visits for a while.
17
But wwx is ready, his apartment is completely kid proof, it's all clean and ready for a 4-year-old.

4, not 14.

Wwx looks from the crown of a-yuan's head to the kid in front of him.

"What's your name?"

It takes a few seconds, but eventually, the kid answers.

"Mo xuanyu"
18
"Okay, okay, nice to meet you, mo xuanyu." He nods down at a-yuan. "This a-yuan, my kid. Well, he's been officially my kid since, like 5 hours ago. He has his own bedroom at home, he's very excited about that. I also have my own bedroom, cause, well, I'm an adult. But, uh..."
19
Wwx can practically hear jc's voice in his head asking him what the fuck he's doing. He ignores it. "There's also a pullout sofa upstairs." Mxy's eyes go even wider. "If you want. I promise it's like, at least 10% more comfortable than the ground. And bug free."
20
"Why do you wanna help me?"

Wwx shrugs, even as his mind goes back to seeing jfm, the first familiar face he's seen after months looking, hoping, and then going somewhere that didn't smell like a gutter, and eating food that was hot and hadn't been touched by anyone before.
21
He smiles.

"Why wouldn't I?" He gets up and offers a hand out to mxy. Obviously, a-yuan will have to sleep with him tonight but wwx doubts that'll be a problem. "C'mon, this kid is too heavy."
22
It's just for tonight, wwx tells himself as he helps mxy settle down then goes tend to a-yuan. He'll contact someone tomorrow and find a place for them (not he, the kid mumbled when wwx had mistakenly assumed). He'll figure it out.

And he does figure it out. Sort of. Eventually
23
Luckily the social worker sent to check up on them is way too handsome and easy to tease. Wwx is totally not trying to bribe him when he offers the freshly baked cookies mxy makes.
24
"Your file says you have one adopted child. I was not informed you were fostering another," lwj says.

Wwx pushes the cookies closer to lwj.

"One, two, who can keep track of them, really?"

"The government," lwj answers, dead serious. "The government can keep track of them."
25
And oh, well, there's so minor drama, but lwj is pretty much gone on wwx from the moment they meet, and then he takes one look at the kids and he knows this is a family and he cannot separate them. If anything he wants to add a new member: himself.
26
And soon enough he does and they live happily ever after. The end.

27
Some more thoughts cause @StabbyBlanket has a big brain and asked if wwx knew he was queer or only realized it after meeting mxy/lwj (who wears a pride bracelet when they meet).

So here's we're giving our boy wei ying a semi-functioning brain cell and he does know he's bi
28
he found out when he was around mxy's age and he remembers being scared madam yu would throw him out, but he also liked to secretly try jiejie's makeup in the middle of the night sometimes.
29
lwj's rainbow flag bracelet clashes with his whole beige khakis and blue button-down style, but it was a gift from one of the kids he worked with, who made it themselves and he wears it with (pardon the pun) pride. Mxy was totally not gonna offer him cookies til they spotted it
30
Now i'm thinking of lwj taking wwx&kids to meet lqr, who's cool as a cucumber on the outside while his brain goes: GRANDCHILDREN

After dinner he pulls lwj aside.

"Wangji, this man has children"

"Uncle"

"He cannot be your boyfriend"

"Uncle!"

"You must marry him at once"
