OH NO! Why would you say that ? ��
SORRY!!
if it makes you feel better, it works out just fine. they still make time to see each other constantly, despite no longer living together.
and wasn’t *that* an awkward conversation. at first huang shaotian thought all his worst, most secret fears were coming true when yu wenzhou opened by saying he thought they both needed space to see who they were without each other. after all, they’d been living in each other’s pocket for a decade. the whole thing felt suspiciously like a break up, which gave it an even more surreal feel since they weren’t even dating.
(huang shaotian might have cried a little but but he didn’t feel too bad about that because he caught the glimmer at the edges of yu wenznhou’s eyes, too)
so yeah he lives alone and it’s creepy and *quiet.* blue rain was never quiet, not with so many young men running around, plus the staff and the managers and the training camp and the guild. it was organized chaos and it never stopped. he gets past it by always having music on or playing old recordings of glory matches or just talking to himself. not that he spends much time at home anyway, not with his post-professional career taking off.
the funny thing is, is...things don’t really change all that much.
he invites himself over to yu wenzhou’s apartment (they’re still in the same city and he thanks his lucky stars for that all the time) and brings groceries. yu wenzhou doesn’t even look surprised the first time he invites huang shaotian inside.
neither of them know how to cook (they’ve been relying on blue rain’s dining hall for a decade) but huang shaotian brushes it aside as a minor issue and instead goes on a twenty minute rant about how takeout food is too greasy and he misses the healthy meals at the club and he’s sure yu wenzhou does too, and so he’s decided they’re going to learn how to cook except now he’s tired from hauling groceries so it’s yu wenzhou’s job to do the cooking this time.
yu wenzhou is already looking up a recipe online while he talks. they fall into step without even trying and it feels like coming home.
(the meal doesn’t come out great, but it’s not terrible either, they declare it a success.)
later on the couch, huang shaotian falls asleep on yu wenzhou’s shoulder.
