i think mxtx redblacks would be ride or die kind of friends in a modern au where they’re roommates but i think there would also be a lot of sus blood-looking stains around the apartment that they all just go “oh that? don’t worry abt it” over when asked

[slams hands on table] maybe! there’s some gay kissing!! who cares!!!

wwx: oh what, now it’s ILLEGAL to kiss your platonic roommates goodbye??
nhs: if there’s tongue, yeah

in case you’re curious!! yes they’re bloodstains. but for reasonable innocent reasons. no one has gotten a full explanation yet, but all three of them ASSURE others that it was NOT a blood ritual OR a murder (but are kind of sketchy if you bring up “and”)

one time jc and nhs swung by and found all three of them in a compromising situation where wei ying was missing a shirt and his pants were half off and MAYBE hua cheng was on top of him and lbh was pinning him down but that too was apparently 100% platonic and “not gay at all”

wwx: the gayest thing that happens in that apartment is hua cheng, who is a flaming homo
wwx:
wwx: me n lbh are bi, thanks,

hua cheng: i cant say NOTHING gay has ever happened in this apartment, i did not buy it new, i did not know the previous owners,
nhs: why the qualifier
hua cheng: gege is trying to teach me not to lie. i’m working on a loophole.

shady job hua cheng and his lawyer roommate wei ying

he periodically will ask out of nowhere “hey is x thing illegal?” and wei ying says “not technically” and hua cheng says “okay cool” and wei ying doesnt see him again for at least 3 days

anyway they kiss with tongue bc theyre gay goodnight

nhs is trying to figure out hc & lbh’s intentions with wwx bc nhs already has a SPECTACULAR man lined up for wei ying (lwj, ofc) but he’s also not gonna get in his friend’s way of happiness in the form of getting dicked down by these 2 very attractive men if that’s what wwx wants

anyway ofc they don’t know their intentions bc they’re all obsessed w their individual hot boys and are taking the frustration out on each other, platonically, as you do, but like also. they’re into it??
