we all love "shameless flirt but in practice untouched" wwx, but what if it& #39;s pushed further and lwj (who *fucks*) has no idea wwx is (was) a virgin for... entirely too long into their sexual relationship
modern au, leads to lots of discussions about kink wherein wwx doesn& #39;t /lie/ exactly but he lets lwj assume he has experience he definitely does not
he& #39;s done his research! VERY THOROUGH research! he& #39;s not some babe in the woods!
the first time they hook up, wwx comes so easily it& #39;s embarrassing. lwj is a little shocked but not NOT into it
probably the first time lwj fucks him he cries a little. it& #39;s just A Lot and Very Overwhelming but also Very Good. he has a lot of feelings and his body is only so big so maybe the feelings come out as tears sometimes you know, lan zhan??
lwj, who has been lying to himself that doing this fwb thing with wei ying was fine and good and enough: fuck
and they& #39;ve unknowingly backed themselves into this dumb little Corner of Misunderstanding wherein wwx doesn& #39;t think he& #39;s good enough to date lwj and lwj thinks wwx is anti-dating because he never talks about any SOs and flirts with anything alive
lwj: he must just have a TON of sex and doesn& #39;t want to settle down https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
wwx: *pitifully unsexed* https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
the kink convos are ridiculous

lwj: do you prefer to be restrained with rope or silks or handcuffs?

wwx: https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen"> yes
lwj: visible marks?

wwx: please!

lwj: ...it& #39;s not a problem with your work?

wwx: pshaw, lan zhan, I have concealer. stop worrying and bite me!
cut to wwx in a 24 hour pharmacy at 2am frantically trying to find his color match, videocalling huaisang
"I have to teach a CLASS in SEVEN HOURS," wwx whisper-yells. "I look like I& #39;ve been MAULED."

nhs, sanguinely: I think you might be dating a vampire

wwx: lan zhan is not a vampire! and we& #39;re not... dating...

nhs, suddenly invested: YOUR SECRET HOOK UP IS LAN ZHAN?!
(lwj has been keeping it secret in what he believes to be a favor to wwx. wwx has been keeping it secret bc he doesn& #39;t want to shame lwj)

(and also, sometimes, he likes having things just for himself)
maybe it all comes to a head when they& #39;re out with friends -- because they /are/ friends first, they& #39;ve run in the same circles forever -- and someone makes some off-hand joke about if wwx has managed to have sex yet
wwx, who is sitting next to lwj and pressed close by nature of small booth, many friends, and a good amount of alcohol (for him, not lwj), but who is trying not to press TOO close, nearly does a spit take with his drink
lwj is staring at him, he can feel it even if he& #39;s not going to look over. he& #39;s not. he& #39;s /not/
wwx: oh shut up, you know that& #39;s not true I& #39;ve had sex hahahahaha

jc, snorting: sure. sure, whatever you say
suddenly wen qing& #39;s drink spills on the other side of the table, and wwx is 98% sure huaisang purposely knocked it over if his fake look of surprise is to be not-believed
it& #39;s an effective subject change and wwx makes a mental note to really go all out on nhs& #39;s next birthday. he needs to encourage this kind of selfless manipulation more, after all
obvs wwx and lwj need to have a https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Herz">tohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Herz">, but I don& #39;t want us to lose sight of the core of this AU, which is them having a lot of (technically well negotiated) sex that is overwhelming wwx on a regular basis
is sex?? always like this?? is it just because it& #39;s lan zhan? is it being tied up or hurt or edged or choked or--
wwx really doesn& #39;t know how he& #39;s supposed to go "have sex" with "other people" once lwj moves on
when they DO talk, lwj is so preoccupied with the idea that he& #39;s taken advantage of wwx, while wwx is tripping over himself to apologize for lying about his experience
but: "can you blame me, lan zhan? LOOK at you, I wasn& #39;t going to not take you up on it. you& #39;re so-- is getting the vapors a real thing? that& #39;s what you do to me. you vaporize me. wait, that& #39;s not right"
wwx: it& #39;s okay if you don& #39;t want to date me. I get it, okay? I get it. I& #39;m me and you& #39;re... you! you& #39;re you, and I get it

lwj, trying not to hyperventilate: but wei king is wei ying https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
*YING gdi autocorrect https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😡" title="Schmollendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schmollendes Gesicht">
wwx: haha yeah, that& #39;s right! that& #39;s right, lan zhan. so you see, I get it!

lwj: no, wei ying is /wei ying/ https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">

wwx: ...lan zhan?

lwj: /wei ying/ https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">

wwx: oh?
