wangxianhualian college au (cw: )

they meet when hua cheng saves wwx from a dog randomly on the street (wwx goes through a whole cycle of “lan zhan! jiejie!” even “a-cheng!” back to “lan zhan!!” with increasing panic and no replies, and he ends up clinging to the nearest person, who happens to be hua cheng)

and hua cheng is like What. And then What again because some rando is clinging to him in the middle of the sidewalk in front of his favorite coffee shop and, oh the stranger is kinda cute? and seems genuinely distressed

hua cheng quickly realizes what the stranger is afraid of is the dog tied up outside of the shop, patiently waiting for its owner, looking genuinely content with the world,

so hua cheng does what any reasonable person would do and glares at the dog until it cowers and subtly moves the Cute Stranger further away from the dog while staying positioned between the two

and wwx is so relieved when he realizes the Demon Creature is far away from him that he nearly starts crying and hugging hua cheng and hua cheng is like. okay.

and wwx offers to buy hc some coffee (where he was headed before he noticed the Devil Spawn) but hua cheng, who already has a cup, waves him off and they part ways and they think that’s the end of it

(wwx goes home and tells lwj “a handsome man saved me from a dog today”
“but i had classes all day”
“you’re not the only handsome man i know, lan zhan”
“hm.”
quickly, “but of course you’re the MOST handsome! and i love you!!”
“mn”)

so they think that’s the end of that, but it turns out wwx and hua cheng are the same major, or a related major, either way they share classes and inevitably end up running into each other again

wangxianhualian become friends (the first time lwj and hc met, they squared up and maybe did a mental comparison of how they measured up. rocky start. xie lian and wei wuxian got on great from the get-go, though)

eventually crushes are developed, conversations are had

and then they end up at some kind of college/frat party. think solo cups and jungle juice.

so some people are wasted. some wasted people are wwx and xl.

lwj goes looking for his wayward, drunk boyfriend, and finds him on a couch, drunkenly, sloppily making out with xie lian, hc sitting on what little space there is left on the couch looking for all the world like he’s just hanging out, relaxing

but his eyes are focused on the display in front of him

and lwj just stands there frozen bc. boys kissing.

and hua cheng lazily looks over at lwj and smirks, “hot, right?”

hua cheng’s words startle lan zhan out of his daze and he takes a step forward. and freezes again. about 3 different scenarios run through his mind while he’s frozen in his spot, wwx and xl still making out, hua cheng smirking up at him

and he doesn’t really have time to follow through on anything bc xl and wwx are coming up for air, and wwx’s noticed him, and he grins, and cries “lan zhan!”, and throws himself into lan zhan’s arms

and lan zhan’s arms automatically close around him, and wei ying is flushed and warm and lwj isn’t sure if it’s from the alcohol or the make out session, but wei ying is pressing closer so lan zhan holds him closer

and wei ying slurs into his collarbone, “we talked about it, they like us too, isnt that fantastic?”

and lwj stiffens. “what?”

and hua cheng chuckles, and it’s not a particularly kind chuckle, but it is warm, but lwj can’t focus on that right now because wwx is giggling into his neck and saying, “let’s make out, let’s make out”

and lwj, forever awkward when faced with unexpected social situations, says, “maybe i should take wei ying home” and tries to bolt

but hua cheng’s voice stops him with an easy, “why don’t you take us all home?”

lwj, still panicking, “that might not be prudent” and hua cheng just laughs again and says “okay, next time” and let’s himself be distracted by xie lian crawling into his lap now that his make out partner has left

and lwj takes wwx and has a nice freak out over how hot wwx and xl are and maybe lets wwx blow him about it

turns out “next time” is two days later when they’re all hanging out (as friends!!! lwj frantically tells himself) and xie lian ends up in his lap

and he’s like Uh. bc Cute Boy but not HIS Cute Boy and okay now both hc AND wwx are laughing at him

and xie lian leans in, and he has the most predatory look in his eyes that lwj has ever seen from him, even tho his smile is still gentle and serene

and he gives lwj enough time to retreat, but lwj doesn’t, and xl’s lips land on his and they’re kissing

and lwj gets into it and only breaks away when he hears wwx moan and then laugh

and he looks over and wwx is on hc’s lap and hc’s got his hands on wwx’s ass

wwx, amused, “you move quick”
hc, genuine but his tone teasing, “do you want me to slow down?”

and wwx hesitates, and glances back at lwj, and lwj just says “it’s fine” and, with a gentle hand still on xie lian to steady him, lwj leans in to capture wwx’s lips in a kiss

“a-zhan” wei ying giggles into the kiss “lan zhan lan zhan, you haven’t kissed a-lang yet. it’s only fair”

and san lang stiffens at the nickname, but then a slow smirk spreads across his face, and he leans in, catching wwx around the waist when wwx loses balance and throws his arms around hc’s shoulders

with his free hand hua cheng catches lwj’s chin and pulls him in for a kiss

and it’s very much a battle for dominance, biting and sucking and pushing and pulling, but hc’s grinning and lwj’s smiling, and when they finally break apart wwx breaths out a “wow, that was hot”

and wwx looks at hua cheng, then xie lian, and then lan wangji, chewing his lip, and lan wangji asks “what is the matter?”

and wwx whines “i wanna suck them both off,” and pouts and lwj laughs one of his little, genuine laughs

wwx starts petulantly tugging at hua cheng’s shirt, bc it’s the one he has easiest immediate access to, telling him, “take it off, take it off”

and hua cheng laughs, “if you want to suck me off, don’t you need to take off my pants?” while xie lian soothes, “slow down, we have time”

wwx’s hands immediately fall to hua cheng’s pants at his words, efficiently working them open

then wei ying presses a kiss to hua cheng’s forehead, between his brows, brushed across each cheek, to his lips, all soft, before he sinks to his knees between hua cheng’s legs

and hua cheng’s hands fall to wei ying’s face, careful in his touch

and wei ying smirks and says “you can be rough if you want”

wei ying takes san lang into his mouth, and he has a very talented mouth, and san lang’s hand tightens in wwx’s hair and he fucks up into wwx’s mouth

wei ying moans, and becomes more eager, working san lang until san lang is tugging at his hair, pulling him off, and wei ying lets out a whine of complaint

wei ying looks up and hua cheng is flushed and panting and beautiful, and wwx says, “you can come in my mouth”

beside them, lwj and xl are watching, and xl, still in lwj’s lap, feels lwj’s boner

he smiles and says, “i can help you with that”

and then wwx is climbing over both of them and shoving his tongue in lwj’s mouth, and lan zhan realizes that wei ying’s mouth tastes like hua cheng’s come

before lan zhan has his bearings about him, wwx has already moved to kissing xie lian, deep and thorough, and basically right on top of lan zhan

wwx breaks the kiss and says to xie lian, “do you want me to show you how lan zhan likes it?” and xie lian is like “uh” bc wwx is very clearly excited, pressing in close and grinning huge

and before he can come up with an answer, wei ying is clambering off the couch and pulling xie lian down with him

they settle in front of lan zhan, and wei ying pulls xie lian into a kiss, but it’s a ploy to strip xie lian out of his shirt, wei ying’s mouth finding xie lian’s neck, throat, collarbones

“wei ying,” hua cheng calls out after a while, voice calm and steady, like the surface of a lake on a windless day, “weren’t you going to teach gege something?”

wei ying blinks out of his daze, mouth and teeth and tongue on one of xie lian’s nipples, his hand coming up to tease the other

“ah,” wei ying says, gasps, “ahh, ahh! i was!” and he grins and pulls xie lian over to lan zhan, making quick work of lan zhan’s pants and exposing him to all their watchful gazes

lwj can feel his ears growing hot

wei ying takes lan zhan in hand and starts in on something that is almost lecture-worthy, demonstrating then having xie lian copy, praising xie lian and explaining lan zhan’s weaknesses in turn

lan zhan gets a murmured “good boy” out of wei ying on a particular aborted thrust, choked back moan, when lan zhan slid his hand into xie lian’s hair

wei ying keeps up his soft encouragements, even as his mouth trails down xie lian’s neck, wwx’s hands finding xl’s zipper

at some point hua cheng had caught lwj’s chin, guiding him into a deep kiss, but they both pause when they see wwx sink to the floor

wei ying whines a little because the logistics aren’t working out, and he can’t suck off xie lian

hua cheng sees his frustration and chuckles. “why don’t you play with me for a bit,” he says

wei ying pouts, but it’s an offer he’s obviously not going to refuse, so he abandons xie lian’s pants for hua cheng’s lap

“you’re wearing so many clothes,” hua cheng purrs, a teasing lilt to his tone

“why don’t you take them off of me,” wei ying challenges, and hua cheng does just that, divesting wei ying of his shirt, then his pants, then his underwear

hua cheng’s hand falls to wei ying, his touch gentle, his other hand softly resting high on wei ying’s thigh

they’re on lan zhan and wei ying’s couch, so when hua cheng asks, “is there lube?” he’s expecting the answer to be an easy ‘yes’

instead he gets a “no” from wei ying, who’s laughing about it for some reason, and a distracted moan from lan zhan, and hua cheng curses and fishes through his own pockets, producing a few packets

he rips one open and uses it to slick up the hand around wei ying, the other wandering closer to wei ying’s entrance

they press carefully, asking permission, and wei ying hisses out a “yes” followed by some incoherent begging that hua cheng easily kisses away

but before he can, a soft “san lang” comes from xie lian, who’s half standing, hand out in silent question, and hua cheng hands him the remaining packets of lube

and xie lian straddles lwj, pressing them together in his hand, leaning in for a kiss

that’s the last hua cheng sees before he gets distracted by wei ying, greedy and desperate and demanding

and hua cheng works wwx until he’s rocking forward and back, wanting more, more, more from both of hua cheng’s hands

when they’re finished, satiated, tired, covered in various substances, they share lazy kisses and warm touches, too tired and content to move just yet

then wei ying speaks up: “does this mean we’re all boyfriends now?” and hua cheng scoffs and xie lian reaches out an affectionate hand and lan zhan just closes his eyes and says “yes, wei ying.”
