your heartbeat, across the grass by fakeplasticlily
your heartbeat, across the grass
Summary: To his unbridled horror, Wei Wuxian sees his face up on the giant screen in real time for the entire stadium to see. Still laughing as his face takes a moment to catch up with the sheer mortification he’s feeling, A-Yuan perched on his shoulders as the Lan Wangji cape drapes over them.
“—scenes from the stands here, this dad and his son making for an adorable twosome all decked out in support for local hero Lan Wangji—”
“—Speaking of, our man seems to have taken a little tumble—”
Wei Wuxian finds Lan Wangji on the field. The ball is nowhere near him but he seems to have fallen inexplicably backwards, sitting on the grass as he looks up at the giant screen.
Right up at the footage of him.
(AU where A-Yuan is professional footballer Lan Wangji's biggest fan, and his babysitter Wei Wuxian wants nothing more than to forget his days as the photographer of their school football team, calling out to the captain from the stands just so he'd look around at him.)
My comments: Excellent story, and a fast read. After not communicating for the past 6 years (there is a Past wherein Something Happened) wwx and lwj suddenly come together again. It's very sweet, wwx pov, and his life is kind of in shambles right now, and suddenly having to navigate FEELINGS isn't really helping.
In which A-Yuan is so cute an entire football team falls for him; Lan Wangji is a football superstar; wwx is a hobby photographer and a professional disaster; hanguang-jun is the only person who ever comments on wwx's blog photos -- and has done for the past 6 years dun dun dun; there are hot times in an empty locker room; and suddenly wwx is getting everything he ever dreamed of.
