G, 9k, Wangxian
Summary: It begins with a stray clementine, half-peeled and trailing rind, rounding the corner and rolling down the hallway. Lan Zhan has just stepped into the lobby of the apartment complex, grateful for the reprieve from the heat. He blinks, bemused, and watches as the clementine rolls to a stop just behind him. Lan Zhan and Wei Ying start off as neighbours but soon find themselves fitting into the spaces in each other's lives like they were meant to be there all along. Kay's comments: I can read about Wangxian falling in love again and again. Honestly, I feel like I'm never growing sick of it. Especially when it's meet-cutes like this one. I love how seemingly they fit into each other's lives and A-Yuan was incredibly adorable too! Excerpt: Wei Ying nods. “Apples are fruits. Vegetarians just cannot eat meat, like chicken.” “No nuggets?” A-Yuan stares up at Lan Zhan, eyes wide and sad like he just received the world’s most upsetting news. Lan Zhan doesn’t quite know what to do. Wei Ying bites back a smile. “There are vegetarian nuggets.” Like a rubber band snapping back into its original shape, A-Yuan’s frown tips back up. He bounces on the balls of his feet, shoes squeaking against the linoleum. “We try?” “Sure, next week, okay? We’re already in the queue,” Wei Ying says. A-Yuan’s face falls again and Wei Ying kneels down to hand him his sippy cup, ruffling his hair with the unconcerned grace of a parent well-versed in their child’s art of sulking. Barely a minute later, A-Yuan’s back to his usual self, his bad mood vanishing like someone had pressed ‘reset’. Lan Zhan wonders how much of that is from being around Wei Ying, with his infectious good mood and his constantly-smiling mouth.
