Ayn presses his lips to yours like he's waited for you his whole life, his lips are molded to yours as he practically tries to absorb you, his passion bleeding through his hands as he holds you to him desperately. He kisses you like he's lost you in a past life again and again, and he kisses you like he has nothing left but you in this world. He kisses you like he's going to lose you and he's terrified of what's to come when you have to inevitably pull away.
Lu Chen / Alkaid
Alkaid kisses you like a butterfly— his lips brush against yours only once before he pulls away, cheeks warm and neck red, and you have to pull him in again if you want a kiss again. His lips brush yours for a second as if you're something he's not allowed to have, and his lips feel like a heaven in a world far away from you. Alkaid kisses you like he's not allowed to, like the two of you are destined to break as soon as one of you step over the line.
Luo Xia / Lars
Lars kisses you with both hands on your cheek as he leans over you to the best of his ability, the love bleeding from his chest to yours as he presses it to yours, and he kisses you like he's going to spend tomorrow and forever with you. He kisses you like that moment in time is the only thing that matters, even if you're going to leave someday. Yet, he kisses you in the present, a sense of determination that he'll never lose you, and even when he presses his tongue into your mouth for more, he is there, and so are you.
Si Lan / Clarence
Clarence kisses you like he knows there are many more to come. His fingers wrap around your waist gently as he tilts his head to slot his lips against yours better. He kisses you like he knows that you are his destined one in this world, and the way he rests his hand on the back of your head to help you angle is a reminder of how far the two of you have come. He kisses you like he's sure you're the one destined for him, and that you have eternity ahead of the two of you, so there's no rush.
Ye Xuan / Cael
Cael kisses you awkwardly, his fingers curled next to him as he's scared to touch you, worried that if he does, he'd be committing some kind of sin, that he'd break you by kissing you back too hard. He kisses you like he's not supposed to, fingers delicate against your skin as his thumb brushes your cheek and he tucks your hair behind your ear, his eyes half-lidded as he takes in your expression, always worried that some higher deity outside of his control would steal you away at any moment.
for all time/lovebrush chronicles boys as cliché tropes
word count: 645
summary: lovebrush boys as cliche tropes !
Ai Yin / Ayn - Competitors - Whaaat? Why not Clarence ?? HEAR ME OUT.
You're a musician. You're like the musician ever— probably a pianist just to piss him off.
The two of you always tie first for piano competitions. There's no argument. If he's there, you're there. If he's first, you're first. The two of you are both prodigy pianists and there's no room for argument. Thus arises the issue. Your name is always followed by his— or his name is always followed by yours. You guys hate it.
Or so you say.
Because when you're missing from a competition for the first time in years, he's very much confused as to where you are, and it almost feels empty without you.
Wha— what did he just say? That was definitely not him.
Lu Chen / Alkaid - Deskmates - oh that's so cliché (I know)
The two of you are paired up as deskmates for the year. It's a little awkward at first until you get used to him, and then it just breaks into everyone else eating dog food (third-wheeling).
He brings you breakfast because you skip eating it, and you fix his tie when it's crooked... he always picks calls for you when he needs an extra hand, you always drop everything you have to help him... you two are practically dating.
Which raises the question. are you dating? Or is Alkaid just taking care of you because he thinks you're forgetful and clumsy?
The love letter slipped into your desk seems to say otherwise, though.
Luo Xia / Lars - Arranged Marriage - I didn't think this could get more cliché
You get arranged into a marriage with him for one reason— your family's going bankrupt, so they have to sell their only child to the Luos because like. Idk that's a cliché, it's a trope, IT'S HAPPENING TO YOU. PERIOD.
At first you're like terrified and he's super scary and cold and lowkey kind of rude, but he still kind of cares since when you first move in, he has the servants move all of your stuff, and yu almost feel like you're home. He's just not very vocal about liking you though; so when your family's business breaks out of bankruptcy and you're told you can divorce him if you want, and then he's like "no please don't take my spouse from me ☹️" and then next thing you know you're being pampered to the moon and back.
(You end up staying with him.)
Si Lan / Clarence - Love at First Sight - HEAR ME OUT ON THIS.
You're an unassuming new student at school, completely unbothered. You do not know he's the student council president. You're just at the nurse's office because your mom's the nurse or smth.
Then, he's admitted into the office because he overworked himself on accident, and you're like "errrr I'll help. sure"
And what does he see upon first waking up? You. The sun behind your head gives you a halo, and you look angelic. He thinks he's hallucinating.
"God, did I die?"
"Erm... not quite!"
Then you nurse him back to health, and he's having a moment (he can't forget you) but dw you eventually end up together 👍
Ye Xuan / Cael - Brother's Best Friend - you did not (oh yes I did)
Cael, your brother's calm best friend who seems to have no interest in dating anyone at all.
Cael, your brother's best friend who's been there for you as long as you can remember.
Cael, your brother's best friend who helps you through college hell, voice calm and soothing as you cry about the homework.
Cael, your brother's best friend who never lets himself slip when you're around (regardless of how bad he actually likes you)
Cael, your brother's best friend who tries his best to resist you when you're on top of him, breath heavy with alcohol and almost drunk.
Cael, your brother's best friend who doesn't fight it when you pull him in for a kiss at the door when he comes to check up on you the next day.
and Cael, who can't say no to you when you spill out your feelings for him on paper, spilling out his own when you meet up with him.
for all time / lovebrush chronicles boys being teased
Word count: 619
Summary: How you tease, and how they respond (suggestive!!)
Ai Yin / Ayn
You start with kisses in his palm between his piano breaks, lips pressed to his palm, red marks on his skin, and then you move to his fingertips, lashes fluttering as you stare up at him, and he looks down at you with a slight frown, no real harm behind it, and he swallows.
You watch as his Adam's apple bobs in his throat, and you smile innocently, lips curled coyly as he sighs, yanking you up from the floor to slot his lips against yours, a sigh breaking past his lips as he kisses you properly, giving in to your teasing with a grumble.
He'd rather not admit it, but he needs the break too.
Lu Chen / Alkaid
Alkaid never gives you a proper reaction at first. He always turns red, trying his best to smile as you pout at him, quietly begging him to do something with your eyes, and he never listens. Instead, you continue to tease him, his ears turning terrifyingly red, his bottom lip quivering as he looks around to make sure there is no one there.
Then, he teases back, teeth nipping at your exposed skin, breath hot on your ear as his hands roam underneath your shirt, and you whimper, your own skin warm as his teasing doesn't relent.
Don't worry. The two of you are alone, and according to the rumors, no one ever visits here anyway. He has you to himself, so you bet he's going to take advantage of it.
Luo Xia / Lars
Lars doesn't give in immediately. Instead, he watches as you palm at his chest, leaning back as he raises a brow to taunt you, and you huff as you continue, butterfly kisses pressed to his jaw, lashes brushing against his neck as you nuzzle into him.
Then, when Lars gets bored, he kisses you, all control you thought you had gone with his movements, his hands on your waist and fingers digging into your hips as he kisses you, tongue hot against yours as your back arches to keep up with his kisses, your breathing growing ragged.
When you start seeing stars, Lars pulls back with a teasing grin, cooing in your ear as you chase after his lips. Patience, love.
Si Lan / Clarence
You are sorely mistaken if you think Clarence is going to let you disrupt him during work hours.
You ask to sit on his lap, shifting sneakily to try and rile him up, your fingers threading through his hair as he continues to work, lips pressing behind his ear as you mumble for him to do something. You can feel him pressed up against you, so you'd obviously expect him to do something— but he doesn't. Instead, he sits through your teasing and finishes his documents, at one point even moving you off his lap to clear his desk.
And then finally, finally he cages you into his desk and kisses you. Oh, and don't worry, he was counting the number of times you had done things to him. He fully intends to pay you back.
Ye Xuan / Cael
Cael... you are insatiable, and Cael finds that he is just another unfortunate victim to you.
You shift against his hips, quiet whimper on your lips as he stays still, unbothered by your hips shifting, your fingers threading through his hair as you pull lightly, lips pressed to his neck as he sighs, hand squeezing your hip in warning as you ignore him and continue to nip at his skin.
Then finally, he finishes his work, other hand flat on your stomach, leaning in to bite your ear, sighing as he curses you quietly in your ear, relenting. You minx.

Ai Yin / Ayn - World-Renowned Gamer
Ayn's heart races in his chest as he takes the trophy in his arms, cheeks flushed as he stares down into the crowd, eyes locking with yours as he hands off the trophy, hopping down the stage to hug you, his face buried in your chest as you jump in your skin, unsure as to how to respond. He had been the one who wanted to keep your relationship secret but not private, so you—
"Just hug me." He grumbles, giving you a squeeze as you relent to it, pressing a kiss to the crown of his head as he lifts you into his arms.
A female fan screams in the background, and another one yells in betrayal as Ayn presses a kiss to your lips with a soft grumble.
Safe to say the tabloids went insane that night. (And Ayn went through your weibo to block every single rude comment)
Lu Chen / Alkaid - Well-Loved Photographer
"Hey beloved, can the magazine publish this?" Alkaid points at the photos with you in it, your lips sparkling in the photo for his interview, marks all over his chest, lipstick marks visibly made by your lips, and you nod, handing him a bowl of grapes.
"Yeah. My face isn't in it, right?"
"No." Alkaid nods. "We took the photos like that on purpose."
You look at the photo, nodding. "Looks fine."
"Really?"
"Really." You nod. "I don't mind that much. Your fans aren't... terrifying." You pause. "Not as scary as Lars', at the very least."
(Alkaid finds that you're right. His fans send him nothing but blessings)
Luo Xia / Lars - Top-Notch Celebrity
"Everyone call someone. The first person whose contact picks up can skip this next segment."
Lars grins, clicking on your contact as everyone else does too.
His phone rings once before you pick up.
"Hi babe." Lars grins, shaking his phone at the camera as everyone screams.
"BABE?!"
The line is silent for a minute before your voice speaks up.
"Did you just put me on speaker on one of your shows?"
"I just needed you to pick up. I miss you."
"I miss you too, but can you please have the editors cut out my voice during editing..."
"Will do, babe."
(The editors leave out your voice, but they definitely don't leave out the part Lars calls you babe)
Si Lan / Clarence - On the Rise Actor
"So, Clarence." The host coughs. "We received that you completely improvised your most popular scene in the whole movie... was there something that inspired it?"
Your manager had warned you not to date as a rising actor, but it really wasn't your fault if your significant other was the crazy one. Clarence looks over at you, pursing his lips and pretending to think. "Perhaps I just wanted to."
You reach over to smack him, clicking your tongue in disdain. "I bet you just wanted more tongue action."
"With you? Surely." Clarence doesn't think, his media training going out his head as both you and the host are stunned, and the two of you make headlines, Clarence's casual words and pink ears accompanied by your shocked face.
(Two weeks later, the two of you make it official on social media— much to his manager's annoyance)
Ye Xuan / Cael - The Nation's Model
Cael typically leaves out his wedding ring in shoots, the silver clashing too much with his outfits, but he finds that it doesn't matter this shoot, your skin pressed to his as you shoot the perfume ad, a ring that could easily be mistaken as a prop— had it not been for the fact that he was known for wearing it off of work.
You arch your back slightly more, chest pressed to his, and Cael wraps an arm around you, hand on your shoulder as his ring glistens under the light, your matching one pressed to the glass of the bottle in your hand.
In the back, one of the interns mumble about how great of a chemistry the two of you have.
The photographer gives the two of you a thumbs up, and you relax, Cael's arm snaking down your chest and giving your skin a small pinch as he stands up.
"You alright?" He leans down, resting his forehead on yours.
"Yeah." You mumble. "Someone's going to send the paparazzi something again."
"Let them." Cael presses his lips to your forehead. "It's about time anyway."
(Cael beats the paparazzi, photo of your back at the shoot uploaded onto his instagram before the media can expose him.)
for all time/lovebrush chronicles boys responding to "kiss me for ten or the hottest girl ever for a thousand?"
word count: 648
summary: lovebrush boys responding to who they would kiss
Ai Yin / Ayn
"Ayn." You tug on his sleeve from the ground as he takes a break from practice.
"Hm?" He blinks down at you, fingers reaching for your hand as you speak up.
"Would you rather kiss me for ten dollars or the hottest girl in the world for a thousand?"
Ayn's heard this one from Tiktok, but he doesn't respond, opting to blink at you blankly again.
"Would you—"
"Does that mean I can kiss you for a thousand?"
You blink at him blankly, words registering in your head before the embarrassment explodes on your cheeks and you hide your face from him. "Ayn!"
"So can I?"
You don't give him an answer, opting to hide your face until you're sure the flush is gone.
Lu Chen / Alkaid
"Alkaid." You brush your fingers over his as the two of you sit in the park.
"Yes?"
"Would you rather kiss me for ten dollars or the hottest girl in the world for a thousand?" You tilt your head at him, curious.
Alkaid doesn't think, he just answers.
"You." Alkaid smiles gently and tilts his head, brushing his fingers over the back of your hand as he hums. "Why would I kiss someone else when I have you?"
You grow embarrassed, and he laughs, fingers running through your hair as you hide your face from him, ears on fire.
"I'll always pick you."
Something about his eyes tells you there's no room for arguement.
Luo Xia / Lars
"Kiss me for ten or the hottest girl in the world for a thousand?"
Lars reaches for your face, fingers stringing through your hair as he presses his lips to yours, eyes half-lidded as you tilt your head to give him better access— something he hums in thanks for. Your fingers scrunch the fabric of his shirt, and he pulls away, catching his breath as he stares into your eyes.
"Okay, I kissed you, so where's my thousand dollars?" He raises a brow in amusement.
"You don't lack that thousand!" You gasp in fake offense.
"Yeah, but that can be your pocket money." He hums, resting his chin on your head. "But lucky for you, you're the hottest girl ever to me."
You push him away in embarrassment, heart racing in your chest. He's too good at this.
Si Lan / Clarence
"Clarence," You sort through the files in the student council room, breaking the silence between the two of you. "Would you rather kiss me for ten dollars or the hottest girl in the world for a thousand?"
Clarence like pretends to think about it, tapping his cheek, and. you blink at him, waiting for his answer.
"Okay, who would you kiss if you could kiss any woman in the world?"
He laughs when you pout at him before rolling his eyes and telling you "You, obviously."
"Then me or the hottest woman in the world?"
"You, obviously." He stops with his papers, looking into your eyes with an insane amount of sincerity that makes you look away from embarrassment. "Now get back to work."
"Yes, sir!" You fight off the blush creeping up your skin for the rest of the time in the room.
Ye Xuan / Cael
"Cael." You mumble. "Would you rather kiss me for ten dollars or the hottest girl in the world for a thousand?"
Cael rests his finger on where he left off in his book, blinks at you, and senses this is some random question you've dragged from Tiktok with a right answer, but he still processes it, unsure as to how to answer.
"So? What's your answer?" You step closer to him on the couch, leaning forward to face him with your head tilted as he blinks at you again.
"I'm thinking about it."
"YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT?!" You gape, puffing your cheeks as you pout.
Then, Cael presses his hand to the back of your head, lips pressed to yours gently before releasing you and going back to his book.
"There's my answer" He hums.
You take two business days to recover from that.
