oop I’m late to the game but here’s a prompt: tianshan + building a pillow fort? I’ve always had this headcanon that He Tian missed out on a lot of fun childhood experiences due to his strict family. maybe, now, Guan Shan can help him with that :) or, if you’d rather, it could be something else that you did as a child that He Tian /probably/ didn’t get to do. just a thought! (love, @nightfayre)
//sorry this took me literally a million years to post and it’s still bad I just left it in my notes forever I hope it’s kinda decent though cuz this prompt is so cutteee.
Mo Guanshan sat in the corner of the sofa in Hetian’s apartment scrolling aimlessly on his phone when He Tian appeared. He stretched himself across the sofa and strategically placed his head in his favorite red head’s lap. Mo Guanshan didn’t have the energy to tell him to move and if he was being honest with himself he was comforted by the jackass.
Hetian looked up at him with puppy eyes and said, “Little momo I’m so bored.”
In most cases, Mo Guanshan would probably brush him off but somehow he felt differently today. He had ended up spending a lot of time with hetian and he felt they were finally starting to become friends.
After breaking away from his train of thought Mo Guan Shan replied, “well what do you want to do?”
“Why would I know that if I’m asking you?” Hetian said, rolling over. In that moment he even more resembled an upset puppy. Guanshan realized maybe he was looking for a distraction from whatever might have been on his mind. He had been a lot more silent and tolerable than usual.
Mo Guanshan‘s mind immediately went to a pillow fort because nothing can go wrong when you’re sequestered in a pillow fort with nothing but you and a tv and in this case a friend, which would be an experience for both Guanshan and hetian.
“You have extra blankets?” he asked, already excited for the new found project.
“Yeah, probably?” Hetian replied, his face scrunched in confusion. “This place is stocked like a hotel so I don’t see why it wouldn’t.”
Mo Guanshan reluctantly nudges He Tian’s giant (but comforting) head off of his lap and resists the urge to comb his hand through He Tian’s silky black hair. They both get up and head toward the linen closet.
“What are we doing? Did you want to cuddle with me~?” Hetian asks with a smirk.
“No shut the fuck up” Guanshan replies even though it’s not like he’d mind. “We’re building a pillow fort,” he continues, grabbing a stack of blankets. The pair grab all the blankets and pillows they can find and get to work. You’d think for someone as smart as Hetian he’d understand the basic structure of an epic pillowfort but he was hopeless.
Guanshan sighed and removed the cushions from the sofa to give some basis for the fort. He took a blanket and draped it over the tv and Hetian connected it to the sofa. For some extra support Guanshan took two chairs from the kitchen and tied the blankets to them. After some intense searching Guanshan found some unused Christmas lights which would have to do. Finally, he created a faux enterance and set up the remainder of the blankets and pillows inside the extravagant fort. Guanshan poked his head out of the pillow fort he was fixing up to find a mesmerized hetian. He looked at him in confusion and asked, “are you coming in or did I work on this masterpiece for nothing?”
Hetian didn’t say anything but he crawled under the blankets. They put on some random show and pretended to be engrossed in it. Hetian tried to avoid eye contact with the redhead next to him because he didn’t think he could hide his emotions. Mo Guanshan made this quite easy for him to do because he knew when they looked at each other it would be intense and he wasn’t sure he couldn’t handle that. Despite how comfortable he was in the space theyd created, hetian was restless. He knew exactly why and that made it so much worse, he’d already abused this friendship enough so he had no choice but to restrain himself. Meanwhile, mo guanshan wasn’t even sure what show was on, the past few weeks he had begun to acknowledge his feelings about hetian, and he could tell hetian felt something for him too but he wasn’t sure what exactly his feelings were and he couldn’t risk this sensitive balance they’d maintained these past few years. For the first time since they’d gotten into the fort Guanshan looked at hetian and he couldn’t turn away. Hetian felt Guanshan’s stare like fire burning through his neck, which gave him no choice but to turn around. Their eyes locked and it seemed only natural for guanshan to lean towards hetian. Instead of linking into a passionate kiss or something of that nature he gave the boy he’d been pining over for years a simple kiss on the cheek. Hetian felt a whirlpool of emotions just from that tiny action. He was no longer his calm and calculated self as he lunged onto guanshan and pulled him into a rib crushing hug.
“WHAT FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE????” Mo guanshan struggled. Hetian realized he should probably loosen his grip so he turned over but didn’t let go. The two of them fell into a comfortable silence and even though guanshan’s mind was racing and his heart he decided to ignore that for now as he dozed off in hetian’s arms.
