♗ ( haha this is fine-- )

… what time was it now?

when yifan had tugged yixing along to the roof of his home for the seemingly nth time, the sky was a soft lilac and only starting to near itself toward the horizon. now, a pitch black, the china sky felt a bit colder, even with the warm summer air around them.

they’d spoken for a while, it being what they usually do when they sneak to places they aren’t supposed to be, places where no one was able to find them. as it turned out, they weren’t allowed to be places where they could hide. yifan was getting sick of it, but he could see that yixing was even sicker, eyes and tone practically venomous when he hinted at things he was supposed to do or things he had witnessed that day. still, yifan never once pressured him to speak about the marks on his body that his eyes managed to wander to while he vented or small specks of blood on his clothes that he smoothed over as the boy’s head rested on his lap. there was no reason to, in his mind.

yixing was good, he knew.

yixing was good because, when good people do bad things, they sleep with eyebrows knit together and trembling lips. things like that don’t lie, yifan thought as he placed a hand on his chest to try and ease him out of his nightmare. it appeared to only soothe him a small bit, but he was thankful enough for that. thinking about the reasons or even people that his friend could be bleeding himself dry for, the same displeased look made its way onto yifan’s features as he looked off into nothing ( and yet something ), wishing he could fly off into that sky for them both.

“i’ll get us out of here, xing. i promise.”

[ ❗ ] pulling at the fabric that belonged to the over sized sweater, she used it to hide her brief expression of amusement; finding the silence that followed the question more entertaining than most would. call it a quirk in her personality. the answer gave reason to drop the poor excuse for a mask, her hand sliding to her side once more. “yes, hence why it was directed towards you. whats your opinion?”

[assombris]

              perhaps his earlier ambiguity had been deflective --- evasive even --- because now that areum’s turned the conversation onto him so explicitly, yixing seems to clam up ; he’s never been much good at talking about himself. “hm.” it’s all he says at first, leaving room for another weighted silence that only lifts when he sucks in slow breaths. “----both.” the word’s quiet enough to sound hesitant, even to him, and the mutant clears his throat to restore some of its bass. “i think both.” that’s much better.

                 the question gives him pause, somber eyes darting towards the ground as though the answer -- as if there’s just one -- might be etched in the carpeting. and for a beat or two, it may seem as though yixing is ignoring her, silence pressing heavy, pressing thick between them, and then --- “depends on who you ask, i think.”

ammolite, charoite, diamond, emerald

CRYSTAL MEME: ammolite, charoite, diamond, emerald.

ammolite: how lucky or unlucky my muse is

luck is a relative concept of sorts and yixing’s luck — or lack thereof — depends on when you ask. right now, he’d say he is lucky ; he’s got a roof that doesn’t leak over his head and clothes that haven’t torn — that’ll never tear — on his back. the world is, quite literally, at his fingertips and for the first time in his life, he can say he has a family, albeit an untraditional one. but the road to get here has been riddled with more trial than triumph and if you asked yixing at fourteen whether he was lucky or unlucky, he would easily say the latter.

charoite: who my muse looks up to

yixing doesn't have any role models persay — he’s still in the process of figuring out who he wants to be so he doesn’t necessarily know who would be a good example to aspire to. that being said, if he had to choose someone, it would be the triad boss. he was the first proper father figure yixing had ever had and even as he tries to distance himself from the gang’s activities and his past with them, that sort of respect never goes away.

diamond: a sex headcanon

at this point in his life, yixing is sex-repulsed. he hasn’t been intimate with anyone since his teens and he has no intention — or drive — to change that any time soon. in fact, even just a conversation about sexual acts can make him uncomfortable and if the conversation becomes too graphic, he can be outright triggered and have a panic attack. 

emerald: how my muse tells someone they love them without words

love without words is subtlety. it’s little things that might go unnoticed until you have a moment of silent reflection. it’s yixing, who keeps doors and windows locked to the point of obsession, leaving his bedroom door open because he knows the other person is there. it’s yixing relaxing beneath their palm instead of tensing at the contact. it’s yixing telling stories like secrets against the crook of their neck; his words for them and them alone. it’s yixing soft, it’s yixing warm, it’s yixing without fear.

A plot heavy arc to immerse yourself in. We’re playing with themes and ideas that are often misrepresented and overused in krp, but delving deeper into them.

Access to nine other characters who will be directly affected. All the characters will know each other, someway or another, so you’ll never be out of threads. (the characters in question – noah, devon, kade, jackson, jiyeon,emily, spencer, alexei & jaekyung)

Active characters and muns! This group has been working together since Dec. ‘14, so the last thing you’ll have to worry about is partners dipping out, giving up or quitting in the middle of things.

Friends! We all want friends right? The muns of this little group have an ic chat and a plotting chat, to keep in touch and discuss key points. All those posts about wanting an rp partner who will stay up with you, completely destroying you with plots and feel? Yeah, that’s real and we’re offering it to you!

Sound good? Well then, if you’ll head under the read more, I’ll review the character in question. (content warning for discussion of eating disorders)

gold:my muse's financial situation (does he cum gold)

CRYSTAL MEME: gold -- my muse’s financial situation.

yixing’s financial situation is decidedly better than it used to be. working with the triads as intimately as he did came with many perks and though they never guaranteed him a ‘salary’ ( and probably wouldn’t have had to to gain his loyalty ), the gang gave him hearty amounts of cash throughout the years --- enough to leave him financially stable for quite some time, should he budget responsibly. and of course, if he ever runs out of money, there’s the subconscious awareness that he can always return to the gang; but that’s the worst case scenario, a security blanket he’d rather not need.

This has been on my mind for long but I’m gonna do this - please reblog this if you’re comfortable with pre-establishing relationships. I do not mean “met at the grocery store two weeks ago” or “have a common friend”, but rather stuff like “have been best friends since kindergrden”, “go for a beer every friday”, “friends with benefits”, “dated in highschool”, “hate each other’s guts because -insert reason-”  etc. Something meaningful (but not necessarily shippy) and I mean with muns/characters you have not interacted with, because I cannot believe I am the only one who prefers jumping right into the heart of the human interaction

@definedbyproxy

the sun’s half-past the horizon when class lets out, evening brisk just setting in, and yixing feels small in the rush. his classmates are eager to be home --- a sentiment he more than understands --- but no amount of affinity for their motivations can make the chaos any less overwhelming. so when he emerges from the lecture hall to find its surrounding area starting to empty, he feels placated, at ease. no one will notice him as he leaves the sprawling campus and that’s exactly the way he wants it to be. 

instinct has him pulling his dark cardigan tight about his frame, but, really, the chill is no bother. he quite likes it, in fact --- revels in the way it draws goosebumps to the surface in indiscriminate patterns. 

he starts the walk home with a smile.

not even half a block into it, yixing spies a familiar face waiting at the intersection and he realizes then how cold he’d actually been as fondness spreads like wildfire through the hollows of his chest. it had taken him ages to get here -- to a point that he might be able to call someone a close friend -- but now that he has, it’s all-encompassing and his feet seem to move of their own accord until they stand shoulder to shoulder.

he slips into the mandarin easily.

“it’s cold tonight.”
