I'm dying over your shangjue/yuanzhi fic, it's so cuuuuuute. he acts so shy but all he wants is to overwhelm his poor didi haha

🌸 Didi deserves all the doting and cosseting in the world from Gege. Honestly, I’ve not been as obsessed about a pairing this year as I am about the two of them （๑✧∀✧๑）I’m just glad I’m not alone in this haha…

Thanks for this ask! Please have a little Drabble while I’m somewhat lucid from my flu meds.

Tucking Didi closer to his side, Shangjue carefully wraps the fur collar tighter around them. Pressed so near, he can smell the peach wine they’d just had for dinner on his lips; can almost taste it on the pretty spit sheen pink of Yuanzhi’s slightly parted mouth.

He knows he can.

Knows he can dart in and slot their mouths, lick in and devour his Didi whole. He has permission for this. Knows he never has to ask to shower Didi with his ardour, his affection. Knows that even if he doesn’t know for certain about anything else, he knows that Yuanzhi will definitely wake at their kisses, loathed as he is to miss out on moments spent exchanging lazy affection with Shangjue.

But he won’t. Not like this, not tonight at least.

Didi snuffles slightly. Sighing in his sleep, he cuddles into Shangjue’s hold. The trust and belief in the comfort he finds with Shangjue burns a warm fire in his heart that spreads to the tips of his fingers.

Some days he wishes to swallow Yuanzhi whole. Take him into his chest and keep him there so that he will always be safe and sound. Protect this man and keep him from harm.

“Gege?”

Yuanzhi adorably rubs at his eyes, but makes no move to pull away. “What time is it? Why didn’t you wake me?”

“You were sleeping so well. I find that I enjoyed watching you dream.” Shangjue answers, hand dutifully reaching up to brush the hair out of Yuanzhi’s eyes.

His Didi chuckles. “As if you don’t watch me sleep every night. What’s so special about it anyways?”

“Because I don’t want to miss a thing about you.” Shangjue decides to be honest. Leaning over, he kisses the cool skin of his brow. Sliding the palms of their hands together. “Every time you dream, I wonder if it’s me you’re seeing. I could stay awake just to hear you breathing. I just want to be with you, right here with you, just like this.”

Yuanzhi visibly flushes to the tips of his ears, brown eyes wide and glassy. Shangjue has to bite back the urge to physically bite them. Laughing a little, he shrugs, a little uncharacteristically self conscious.

“It’s a little silly, I know…”

Yuanzhi throws his arms around Shangjue. Holding on tightly, he grips on to the back of his cloak. “I’m never letting you out of my sight. Ge, I’m going to swallow you whole and never let you leave. Gods above only knows how easy some unsuspecting person will fall for your charms.”

Shangjue’s laughter at that passionate declaration is bright in the evening quiet.

Serious question for you - please dont feel obligated to answer of you are uncomfortable and if this offends you, I apologize, i do not mean to offend. I'm not from a nationality that celebrates the Lunar New Year but I grew up in Malaysia where it is widely celebrated. I live in USA now and I have a lot of Asian friends. Last year, when the lunar new year came, i greeted them but was told that since I am white, it was inappropriate to greet/celebrate the lunar new year. Can i get your opinion?

Hello, first up, thank you for the question and no I’m most definitely not offended by it. I want to start off by saying that as a Malaysian Chinese born and raised as part of the Chinese diaspora, my experience is definitely not universal and should not be a template for those of the diaspora.

Please also understand that while the experiences of Asian Americans is not the be all and end all of everyone in the diaspora, since they are directly around you, my personal stance is that you should defer to them. Since they’ve expressed that they aren’t comfortable with you partaking in this even in something as innocuous as greeting them during Lunar New Year, then perhaps refrain from doing it. If you’d like to talk this out further, I recommend a fulfilling & deeply insightful discussion with @weilongfu if they are up for it.

Now for my thoughts on the matter. If nothing else, as a Malaysian, it makes me very happy and proud that you’ve retained that openness to the cultural celebrations of others. As you would know, greeting each other and even being part of the celebrations during Lunar New Year or Eid or Deepavali or Gawai is part of the norms here between the different races and I don’t think there was ever a moment that made me wonder why my Malay Muslim friends would wish me Gong Xi Fa Cai or why my Buddhist friends would have Christmas tree up in December. Breaking fast together during Ramadan is pretty much a calendar event and if it were pre-Covid, you best be sure that we will be there to share in a meal after sundown prayers.

Basically, as Malaysians this participation and partaking in each other’s celebrations has always been ingrained in us from the get go. But I do understand that this openness and sharing isn’t something that is shared by all. As said, your Asian friends may have their reasons for wanting to have a delineation. I don’t want to speculate or make assumptions as to why. If they’re ok with having a discussion about it, why not ask them? Again, I don’t think there’s anything wrong but always defer to those who are directly in your community. I hope this helped in some small way. Hope you’re having an awesome day, friend.

You know that snort that Nicky does when Joe asks, “Bed head?” and he snorts right before he replies, “Nicely tousled”? Yeah. That. I love that.
