4. "HEY [X]! [Y] HAS A CRU--mmf!!" "Shut up!!!!" With Ouyang Zizhen as the person saying it, Lan Sizhui + Lan Jingyi as [X] and Jin Ling as [Y]?
.....i fucked up. i did this backwards, sorry!!! i hope you like it anyway! -_- my reading comprehensions skills are in the toilet today it seems
“What, both of you?” Ouyang Zizhen looked at them blankly. “You don’t like each other anymore?”
“Of course not,” Lan Sizhui said earnestly. “We still love each other.”
“We’re saying we want Jin Ling too, idiot,” Lan Jingyi elaborated, squeezing his boyfriend’s hand. “Like, the three of us.”
“...you can do that?” Ouyang Zizhen gaped, eyes sparkling with a world of romantic new possibilities.
“I don’t see why we wouldn’t be able to,” Lan Sizhui said, glancing at Lan Jingyi. The honest truth was that they weren’t sure either. When Lan Sizhui had confronted him about his feelings for Jin Ling and confessed to feeling the same Lan Jingyi hadn’t been brave enough to suggest it; it felt too radical, even for the least Lan Lan.
Lan Sizhui hadn’t been so cowardly.
“I… don’t know,” Lan Sizhui said.
Lan Jingyi shifted uncomfortably. It was all well and good to get used to the idea of having two—two!—boyfriends, but what were the chances of finding another person willing to date two people at once? Even if Jin Ling did like Lan Sizhui—and who wouldn’t—the likelihood of him liking Lan Jingyi as well seemed astronomically low.
“I think he does!” Ouyang Zizhen said excitedly. “He’s always been different with you two than with me, and remember when you two started dating and we didn’t see him for months? I bet that’s what that was!” Ouyang Zizhen’s usual romantic optimism wasn’t as convincing as he clearly thought it was. He clasped his hands to his chest, appearing overcome at the thought of his three friends being in love.
“Maybe,” Lan Sizhui said cautiously.
“Sure,” Lan Jingyi snorted to cover the pang in his chest.
“Oh, and there he is! Let’s find out!” Ouyang Zizhen said and bounced to his feet before they could move.
“Hey Jin Ling!” He called, his hands cupped around his mouth. The two boyfriends were frozen in startlement. “Jingyi and Sizhui have a crush on you!”
“....oh,” Lan Sizhui said. “Well, that’s one way to go about it, I suppose.” Lan Jingyi was still struck speechless by the audacity.
“They what?!” Jin Ling’s voice rang out from a ways behind them.
“They liiike you!” Ouyang Zizhen sang excitedly. “They wanna date you!”
“What the fuck are you talking about?” Jin Ling said with his usual frustrated confusion. He was so cute, Lan Jingyi liked him so much. “Both of them?!”
“You can do that?!” Lan Jingyi put his head down on the table, Lan Sizhui stroking his back soothingly.
“Apparently! Do you want to join or not?”
“Fuck,” They heard him say more quietly, and then; “Fuck! Okay!”
The hand on his back froze. “Oh!” Lan Sizhui gasped.
Lan Jingyi sat up and spun around, catching sight of Jin Ling’s nervous glare and pink cheeks. “Hell yeah!” He shouted, leaping to his feet and throwing his fists in the air. “Sizhui, he said yes!!”
“Yes,” Lan Sizhui said, looking between them and glowing. “But, you three, there’s no—”
“NO SHOUTING IN THE CLOUD RECESSES!” Lan Qiren’s voice quivered with fury. Somehow Lan Jingyi doubted they'd have much free time to spend with their new boyfriend for the next few months.
