wlw #wangxian as uhaul lesbians who move in together during the...

everything is going well, the sex is great, they love each other, they have a couple of plant daughters they named bichen and suibian. It's perfect.
expect that when lz proposes wy says no.
wy has undiagnosed adhd and a huge chip on her shoulder, which makes her fun at parties cause she's wide and first with everybody, but it also means she's a messy roommate who refuses to accept any help
and that's it, the last straw.
all the things they've been bottling up come out in one ugly shouting match and, in the end, wy walks away with her stuff in a backpack.
"Wei Ying?"
there's the sound of a to-go coffee falling to the ground and splashing all over the floor, then a hissed curse, and then, at last:
"Lan Zhan!"
wy uses the mess on the floor as an excuse to stall for time and also so that she doesn't have to look lz in her beautiful face as she talks.
"You know, I didn't want to serve coffee here, guess it was a sign."
wy glances up to find lz staring down at her.
"You own this place." it's not a question but wy hums anyway.
meanwhile, looking at wy makes lz's heart /hurt/.
there's so much she wants to, so many questions she wants answers to, but in the end, she settles for
"I live across the street."
"Mn," lz confirms, then goes silent again.
wy thinks lz hates her.
lz thinks wy resents her and has forgotten all about them.
and if this was 10 years ago, they would've not-talked, maybe wy would've invited lz to the back, they'd have slept together, they'd have gone fast then crashed and burned
now, wy can swallow her nerves and offer lz a blueberry muffin.
now, lz can breathe past the tightness in her chest to tell wy the(ir) plants are still alive, and to ask about wy's business.
now they can enjoy a quiet morning of catching up.
now they can talk about the painful stuff, but also about healing, they can set boundaries and they know to respect them.
it doesn't take lz half a second to say yes.
the end
