really fond of the idea of lwj attending his friend's graduation party, being very uncomfortable the whole evening until a very beautiful and drunk boy climbs into his lap and breathes right into his face, "take me out of here and i'll sneak out the biggest piece of cake for u."
2
lwj doen't understand how sneaking a piece of cake and leaving the party can go together, but. then this boy, hot-cheeked and too drunk to understand lwj's been sitting here alone for a reason, cups his face and tells him, "they have three types. i'll get all of them, wait here."
3
and then he is gone. off of lwj's lap, just like that. trousers got rumpled, a little bit.
lwj looks at the crowd that cheers when the boy returns and thinks, i don't like drunk people.
lwj looks at his trousers and thinks, why did he touch my face when he could've just asked me.

lwj waits for him, hands unexpectedly clammy, and hears the people shout for him - for wei ying - who dances through the crowd, two plastic plates squished on top of e/o in his hand, and licks his fingers clean before reaching out to take lwj's hand, smiling.
"where to, miss?"
"where to, miss?"
5
lwj shoud, in all honesty, say goodbye to his friend that has been lost to the end of the academic bullying and alcohol abundance some time ago. but then wei ying wraps his arm around lwj's waist and leads him firmly out of the flat, shouting, "bye! see you never!"
6
and lwj, three and a half minutes into this one-sided claim, is yet to say anything. he untangles wy from himself, which wy does /not /like.
"i'm not that drunk, actually. i just needed to make sure no one's going to make me drink more."
"you can say no to people."
"you didn't."

"you didn't."

the stairs turn to be wei ying's one and only nemesis. it's lwj's turn to hold his waist and protect the prize in the form of three plastic-tasting cakes from becoming one with the concrete and wei ying's badly laced shoes.
8
the next time wei ying slips and lwj's spine suffers another rush of adrenaline, he picks wei ying up, who sighs as if lwj's finally gotten his cue. he doesn't protest. does not kick. he, of all things, kisses lwj on the cheek.
"ah, lan zhan, you really are something else."
"ah, lan zhan, you really are something else."
9
the only thing that saves lwj from dropping the drunk and smiley boy is twenty-three years of his brother's attempts to find friends for him. this shouldn't be it, but -
"how do you know my name."
"your friend really likes bragging about you. i can see why."
"how do you know my name."
"your friend really likes bragging about you. i can see why."

in about four steps' worth of journey, lwj lives through ten different emotions and lands on softly-edged embarrassment. the fact that wei ying clocked him as someone to run away with is strange, but also incredibly on point.
"if you throw up in my car -"
"noooo, i promise!"
"if you throw up in my car -"
"noooo, i promise!"

outside, the chill softens the heat from wei ying's body and the way he hugs lwj around the neck. lwj considers making him walk to the car, but wei ying looks at him, doe-eyed and utterly wasted and so blisteringly cute, and lwj keeps walking, ears about to melt off his head.
12
he thinks, we did not tell each other our names.
he thinks, wei ying is drunk and he kissed my cheek.
"wei ying, are you hungry?"
the smile that breaks out wei ying's face is nothing short of blinding. "good boy. i thought you'd never ask."

it will be so hard to tell ge that his attention and affection were won through so little.
it will not be a hardship to admit that lan zhan cannot and will not want to say no to wei ying.
