accidentally-confessing-to-your-crush-over-text trope where wwx sends lwj something he didn't mean to. cue him trying to get to lwjs phone to delete it bc lwjs at quqin practise & always leaves his pone in his bag. wwx tries his own birthdate as a last resort & the phone unlocks

acc to google the most common ones are: the birthday of the person who own the phone - wwx knows right way that wont work so he doesnt even bother

family members - "huag-ge whens your birthday, i was just curious haha nothing important, oh okay,,, and your mothers by any chance?

fav celebs - wwx highly doubts lwjs passcode is chen leiji

pets- lwj cant choose between his two rabbits so thats not it

... crush...?

he calls nhs to ask her for mianmians birthday bc if anyone would know it would be him. "im not even gonna ask why you need this"

he tries the numbers with a weird feeling in his stomach and when it doesnt work hes relieved for a second

when the phone locks for 20 minutes this time he bangs his head against the wall. lwj's gonna finish in 10 minutes! and if the next one is wrong it wont open for an HOUR

in a last ditch attempt he tries his own birthdate 103197 and... it works???

he's so surprised for a minute that he forgot what he came here for in the first place.

his finger hovers uncertainly over the delete button bc hes not dumb (ok hes a little dumb) but you dont just go around with anyones birthday as your passcode... so maybe..

he puts the phone back in the bag and leaves quietly without deleting it.

and then he sends another text to lwj afterwards asking if they can meet after his guqin practise

wwx waits for lwj at one of the benches they sometimes have lunch on, tracing the small bunnies he carved into the wood one day. He's nervous, because what if it didn't actually mean what he thought it meant

and lwj thought he was just a super great friend, or maybe they were his favourite numbers, or maybe they were his lucky number or––

His thoughts are interrupted by lwj's arrival and the first thing wwx blurts out is “lan zhan, the video, it was an accident”

lwj's face instantly goes blank, mouth turning into the barest of frowns only wwx can see because he's so used to reading him. wwx hurries to clarify his words, fuck shouldn't have started with that.

“I mean! It was an accident but, I meant it and everything! It just..

..it wasn't meant to go like that. I had a whole plan and everything. And it was WAY better than this because god that video was, um, embarrassing“

he's rambling, someone tell him to stop. wheres jc when you need him

“and you know, i tried to get rid of it? but then i didn't because i knew if i didn't do this now i might not ever do it, because i think you're great, and i really like you. actually i think you might somehow also l––”

lwj shuts him up with a kiss.

“Yes” he says against wwx's lips. wwx thinks lwj might be smiling, or is he the ones that's smiling? maybe it's both of them. whatever.

wwx pulls lwj even closer and kisses him back just as happily.

––

when they're back in wwx's apartment and his head is pillowed on lwj's chest, wwx speaks up.

“hey lan zhan”

“hmn?”

“you should really change your phone passcode you know, it's waaay too easy to guess”

OKAY we're done omg im sorry for leaving it in the middle i literally forgot about it this was so unplanned so if u saw any typos or weird capitalisation, no u didnt thanks !!
