today's short thought is an a/b/o au where alphas are required to be muzzled due to commonly-held beliefs that they can't control themselves.

omega lwj is head of discipline at the cloud recesses and he has to deal with alpha wwx—who, somehow, keeps escaping his muzzle.
2
no other alpha has escaped the muzzles that the cloud recesses designed—very few would even *try*, considering how seriously gusu lan deals with rule-breaking.

yet that's how lwj first meets wwx—with wwx, unmuzzled, happily pouring wine into his mouth on the rooftops.
3
at first, lwj assumed he was an omega, or a beta. then he gets close enough to pick up on wwx's scent and oH MY GOD THAT'S AN UNMUZZLED ALPHA.

wwx greets lwj happily. then when he realizes who lwj is, he's like "oopsie haha" and then slips the muzzle back on.
4
of course lwj fights him, and of course lwj takes him to the elders for discipline and a new, stronger muzzle.

then to lwj's horror, he later catches wwx WITH THAT MUZZLE OFF TOO.

every time lwj catches him, wwx gets a new muzzle. and every time, wwx finds some way out of it.
5
lwj is DUMBFOUNDED. he has no idea how wwx does it. nobody has even seen wwx escape. the muzzle is either on his face or off his face—there is no in-between.

and the cheeky lil shit won't tell how he did it.
6
lwj wants him confined. surely such an alpha is dangerous. feral. undisciplined. who knows what his intentions are. if they're not careful, the cloud recesses may end up with omegas marked and pregnant out of wedlock.
7
(lxc kinda looked at him suspiciously after that last speculation but he kept his thoughts to himself)
8
so what was wwx's motivation for slipping out of his muzzles?

he couldn't fit a tanghulu through the bars of the muzzle.

the muzzle impeded the flow of wine while it is being poured into his mouth.

he wanted snacks, and the muzzle was in the way.
9
of course he has no plans on biting anyone or anything except for food. he's a growing boy!! and the cloud recesses don't allow for more than three bowlfuls of food. he's starving!! this is clearly an act of survival!!
10
lwj ends up wasting WEEKS keeping an eye on wwx, looking for any warning signs, just waiting for him to snap and ravish lwj—uh, he means, attack the nearest unsuspecting omega.

and wwx does none of that. the only thing he destroys is his personal allowance on snacks.
11
basically wwx is the trope of a cartoon character constantly escaping their confines and then immediately putting themselves back in as soon as they are caught.

and that's it. that's the thought of the day.
12
it's even funnier when wwx resurrects as mxy and he tries to drive lwj away by escaping out of his muzzle and threatening to bite and mark lwj and lwj is just "ah, yes. you are hungry," and shoves a mantou into his mouth.
