domestic saturday vibes with song lan

• Song Lan was not usually home
• his work took him to many places
• sometimes there’d be days, even a whole week where you guys would go without seeing each other
• and the loneliness of your shared apartment
• was something that you would have, sadly, gotten used to
• which is why
• when you wake up to the smell of something good coming from the kitchen
• you more then surprised
• and the sight that greets you when you walk into the kitchen
• Song Lan in his laid back clothes,
• hair still ruffled,
• donning your pink flowery apron
• makes your heart skip a beat
• he’s plating a very delicious breakfast when you take quiet steps behind him
• and Song Lan nearly drops the pan when you wrap your arms around his waist from behind, nuzzling your face against his t-shirt
• “you’re home,” you say, a bit of wonderment in your voice
  
• i miss you, Song Lan knows that you mean
• at the tone of your voice, Song Lan lets out a soft kind of melancholy laugh,
• he wishes he were home more, so you wouldn’t have to sound like that
• Song Lan places the pan down and turns around in your arms,
• stares down at you as if he’s taking in the sight of you for the first time
• even after having been together for a while,
• his stare still makes your heart beat too loudly in your chest
• and your cheeks burn, thinking to yourself what a sight you must be, having just woken up and bleary eyed
• you’re moving back in embarrassment, 
• when Song Lan’s hands come up to your face,
• squish your cheeks in his warm palms
• capture your lips as he leans down,
• with a kiss that says, 
• i miss you a million times more

weekday series (friday)

a mdzs character each day of the week

fridaynight subway rides with wei wuxian

• your friday nights would always be busy because
• Wei Wuxian, ever the party animal
• would take you to all the hottest spots that he knows in the city
• you won’t ever have to worry about being bored
• because aside from knowing well all the attractions available 
• he, himself, also has a knack for just attracting well, weird?
• chaotic
• energy
• the subway this time of night, nearing the turn of the new day
• is still pretty full of people
• you let out a little startled breath, as Wei Wuxian pulls you close to him, 
• just barely missing the subway performer’s trick on the bars close by
• leaned this close to him, with his arms practically wrapped around you
• you can feel his heart beat against the shakes of the subway
• and it’s easily to hear his laughter despite the mask that he’s wearing
• “nearly got your head knocked off,” Wei Wuxian teases you when the performers have left the train at the next station
• though he can’t see the full extent of your expression, he can imagine that you are scrunching your nose up at him
• and maybe because the hour is late,
• and you’re both pretty tired from a whole night spent on the town 
• but Wei Wuxian hugs you closer,
• rests his head on top of yours, fit perfectly under his chin
• and because you’re tired too
• you let him
• and the train that you’re riding on, lull you

weekday series (thursday)

a mdzs character each day of the week

thursdayafternoons with nie minjue

• it isn’t often that you find yourself having a hard time at work
• the small cafe that you work at as a barista at, 
• is not usually busy
• and honestly, the hard work that you’re dealing with 
• isn’t something that’s particularly hard
• it’s just…
• hard on your attention span
• because the man that had ordered a caramel machiato
• and taken the nicest window seat at the cafe,
• just in the perfect line of the cash register that you’re manning
• was absolutely breathtaking
• his entire muted grey and deep green ensemble,
• suited him just as well as the outside scenery backdrop he was in front of
• and you were having a hard time listening to the orders that you were supposed to be taking
• especially when your coworkers have to swat at your arm more than once
• but you can’t be blamed, 
• not when a man as handsome as that was sitting in the perfect place for you to stare at 
• and honestly
• when Nie Mingjue sips the drink from his mug,
• hides his smirk behind it
• perhaps he knows how much you’re looking at him
• too

a mdzs character each day of the week

wednesday evening after class, with lan wangji

• the evening night is chill in autumn
• but warmer, is the presence that always waits for you when you finish your classes
• walking out of your lecture after a long day,
• and seeing Lan Wangji sat, reading a book on one of the seats in the hallway
• is a sight that gives you a lot of momentum
• now that september has creeped in, and the night gets dark faster, easier
• it feels nice to have company on the walk to the train station
• you walk up quietly to Lan Wangji’s sat form, as he seems quite immersed in whatever it is that he is reading
• and when you get close enough,
• you give a small kick against his shoes
• Lan Wangji looks up immediately,
• though the cold look in his eyes warms ever so slightly when he sees that it is just you,
• “did you wait long?” you ask him, when Lan Wangji finishes putting his book away and standing up 
  
• your companion silently shakes his head, 
• and holds his hand out as he does 
• you smile at Lan Wangji, taking off your decidedly heavy backpack for him to carry for you 
• although Lan Wangji was cold,
• his actions were more than warm
• especially when he accompanies you all the way to your destination
• his presence by your side
• chases all the cool autumn air away

a mdzs character each day of the week

monday lunch with lan xichen <3

• working at the same company with one another, in the same department,
• you tend to see Lan Xichen very often 
• you didn’t think that you would ever get a chance to get close to him though
• because aside from being the most handsome man on the team
• he was a seasoned senior of the company as well,
• had better things to do than make friends with new hires like you
• but you learn of the kindness of this senior 
• when would help you out on project proposals, at the first ask
• stay late with you on some nights when the workload was a bit too much for you to handle
• and from all those little occurrences,
• you both develop a nice friendship
• which is why mondays, don’t feel quite so bad
• because mondays, are when you get lunch with Xichen
• it’s the time in his schedule that coincides with yours the most
• and you both can meet each other on the break,
• go to that salad bar or any new place that Xichen has been eying
• and it wouldn’t be a date per say
• but it’s just, comfortable
• you’re both comfortable with one another to smile and laugh and have a shared time with each other like this
• sat in front of Lan Xichen, 
• watching his ‘sacred’ process of drizzling the dressing on his salad with ‘just the right amount’,
• “it’s quite an important part, y/n, don’t laugh” Xichen would tell you when you make fun of him
  
• and mondays, starting the week with Xichen make everything better

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

• it must have been fact
• but, Jiang Cheng loved you
• he wouldn’t know when it started
• or how it came to be
• but in this instance,
• the present
• right now
• he sees that he loves you 
• Jiang Cheng should have known better that just saying “no” wouldn’t be enough to stop his hard-headed nephew
• and even more stubborn assistant (you)
• the monster on tonight’s night hunt was a notoriously fierce demon dog,
• blood thirsty and fearless, 
• it was not a night hunt to have children in attendance
• yet somehow, 
• here Jin Ling was, 
• you in tattered robes near by
• the demon dog lunges, it’s jaws snapping wildly,
• Zidan lights the forest night purple, the demon dog knocked back with a force of electricity and his own human anger,
• his accompanying disciples through their demon nets on the wounded demon, making quick work of subduing it in its state
• Jiang Cheng doesn’t spare a minute to check their work,
• immediately turning to you and Jin Ling
• “jiu-jiu! i can explain” Jin Ling is quick to stutter out when Jiang Cheng’s heavy foot steps approach both of your crouched forms
  
• you stand up as Jiang Cheng approaches, Jin Ling clutching onto the side of your robes
• “this was my fault, don’t blame A-Ling for this,” you’re quick to defend, when Jiang Cheng stares at both of you with an unreadable look in his eyes
  
• you hold onto Jin Ling’s shoulder tightly as you continued,
• “Jin Ling was worried, you were going with only a few disciples on this night hunt and though it’s a demon dog, the techniques Jin Ling has been learning at Cloud Recess have prepared him for this. we were coming to help you…” 
• you don’t mean to ramble, but the words fall out of your mouth the longer Jiang Cheng stares at you with…
• worry?
• anger?
• please not anger
• you unsure emotions comes to a halt when Jiang Cheng suddenly pulls both you and Jin Ling into a tight embrace, 
• and the words that he utters quickly onto the side of your cheek
• “don’t scare me like this again,”

Wen Ning +..｡*ﾟ+

• Wen Ning is on the verge of losing his job when he first meets you,
• his first day at the cafe had been anything but smooth
• he’s got a a funny splotch of powder on his cheek  
• and an angry red burn on on the top of his hand to show for it
• his manager breathing down his neck as she supervises makes everything 10 times harder
• but when he looks him,
• catches your amused but patient look as you watch him finish your order
• it eases his nerves ever so slightly 
• and the calm and pleasant smile that you wear when he gives you your order 
• lingers in his mind long after the ring from the cash register fades 
• after the fiasco of his first day,
• it work at the cafe gets a lot better,
• maybe it had just been nerves
• because Wen Ning easily begins to 
• but maybe he was right about it having to do with nerves
• because it seems that Wen Ning forgets how to do anything
• whenever you’re within the vicinity
• the next time (and every time) you return to the cafe shop
• Wen Ning finds himself stuttering as he asks you for your order
• and cheeks getting warm just at the brush of your hand against his as he gives you the change
• it’s an endearing thing
• and something that you definitely notice
• because he’s so obvious about it
• though you don’t confront it,
• too afraid to make it awkward
• a little afraid to lose the nice smile that he gives you every time he finishes your order
• so you don’t say anything
• you both keep your quiet
• you in your own little way, afraid that he won’t like you anymore
• Wen Ning because he likes you too much and afraid of the same thing
• the shyness of you both ends up being the rift that stops sparks before they fly
• and eventually when your boss changes you to a different department in the building, you don’t come around on Wen Ning’s shifts anymore
• and this little affectionate cup of coffee feels just like strong coffee should
• bitter, but with a sweetness of roasted coffee beans
• love that could have been, in a little coffee shop

Mo Xuanyu .｡.:*☆

• he falls for your voice first
• before he really knows you,
• he knows your podcast persona 
• it was just a little side project that had started from a fun class assignment in one of your electives
• but you’ve kept up with it to pass the time in between your studies
• you didn’t expect to gain such a high following
• but a lot of people seemed to enjoy your funny anecdotes and realistic life/relationship advice
• you’re grateful for the escape from the normal college life you lead
• you don’t realize that there was anyone listening to you at all
• let alone finding a fan like xuanyu
• in your first live online meet up event when you’ve hit around 2 thousand listens,
• you get to interact with people that have adored your work for the past year, 
• talking to voices that you had only seen as icons
• learn names other than online alias
• it is so much fun
• it is the first time that you talk to xuanyu
• it’s towards the end of your big voice call
• you try to express your gratitude directly to as many viewers as you can
• and you’ve made it through a rather large chunk
• xuanyu’s exchange with you is short, but they resonate with you long after the livestream ends and you’re alone in your bedroom, getting ready for work and school the next morning
• “you’ve changed me so much, thanks for making this and being you”
  
• you wish that you could have been able to tell him the same, let me him know that his support changed you in the same way tenfold
• the thought lingers in your mind as you go about your day
• through the magic of the internet, you manage to find the person you want to thank
• and it’s that message there that sprouts into exchange after exchange of encouragement, to memes, to compliments, 
• and the likes
• however your relationship stays confined within this little message area
• growing but not really ever moving
• it’s quick and brief how fast you both fall for one another, 
• and although it doesn’t last
• somehow after all the podcasts that you’ve done now
• you still feel assured there’s someone out there who’s always listening

Lan Sizhui ｡.｡:∞♡*♥

• Sizhui was someone that everyone was always looking at
• not only was he handsome,
• but he was kind, soft natured, smart and charming 
• with so many great traits
• and so many eyes on him always
• you never thought that you would stand a chance
• but what you didn’t realize was
• that Sizhui had always paid the most attention to you 
• you both had met through your campus’ tutoring center
• and before he knew it, Sizhui began to look forward to the hour or so that you would both spend at the library together
• even though you weren’t very good at physics
  
• Sizhui still sees your work ethic shine through 
• you put dedication into everything that you do
• and make the effort to come to the sessions prepared, and more invigorated than other students who’ve had him
• you also treat him as a friend, 
• it’s a refreshing feeling, being treated as someone valuable more than just someone to either get homework answers from or a pretty face to look at 
• Sizhui’s handwritten notes for you help you pass your final exams
• and his encouragements stay warm in your heart
• long after your tutoring sessions end
• you guys don’t date,
• not really
• but you still keep the funny sticky notes that he’d write on your planner,
• remember the reddening of his cheeks whenever you catch him staring at you 
• know that time did seem to pass by too fast whenever you both were within each other’s presence
• and well, you guys never really dated
• but you sure knew
• how you both felt

how these mdzs characters walked through your life

Jin Ling ｡.｡:∞♡*♥

• Jin Ling had never fallen for anyone as hard or as fast as he fell for you
• one passing glance on the college campus was enough for him to be completely smitten
• and it took a bit of asking around 
• a lot of looking around too
• but he finds you,
• and really goes for it
• because he’d been daydreaming about you from that first glance
• he’s persistent in his efforts to get one date with you
• even if he takes him almost 10 attempts
• the first two attempts, he misses your class
• the next three attempts the weather acts up, so he can’t see you on campus
• there’s one time where you simply walked passed him because you didn’t even see him,
• but there’s a saying that he’s always heard 
• “much work, much prosperity”
• and really it does pay off
• because he finally manages to catch you outside your class one time,
• and asks you out
• to his luck and happiness,
• you say yes
• both of you go on one date together
• it was a fun outing
• but one that made him realize that you both didn’t really have that much in common
• as pretty and kind as you are
• the awkward silences that lull between you on the bus ride and at the record shop are more than few
• so after that 
• when you both part ways at the train station,
• short goodbyes at hand
• it feels a little like an ending
• but to have spent the day with someone who adored you
• was a memory worth making

Lan Jingyi ｡.｡:∞♡*♥

• you had never seen Jingyi as a lover,
• not at first
• he had always been your friend
• and with how you both grew up clashing rather than caring,
• it was hard to picture him as someone you would hold hands with
• but Jingyi’s heart had always beat differently from the words he tells you
• and after a stupid game of spin the bottle 
• and standing the closest you have ever stood next to him in 7 minutes in heaven
• you both have a realization on your feelings for one another 
• it was a weird transition,
• knowing friendship better than a relationships
• (you were Jingyi’s first ever real partner)
• hesitant hand holds
• those shy looks,
• the tentative brushing of a loose strand of hair
• and small gestures of new love
• there was potential between both of you
• but then again, it was really only potential
• after a few weeks,
• you realize that even though Jingyi really likes you
• he’s unable to act naturally around you, like he used to when you both had just been friends
• and after a mutual discussion
• you both decide that it’s better if you go back to being friends,
• because skittering eyes
• and skittish hands
• wasn’t really yours or Jingyi’s style
• most importantly
• you missed him
• the carefree-ness that he shared with you
• before the expectation of being a boyfriend to you
• so you both return to the friendship that you started with
• perhaps, now, there are more lingering gazes,
• but nonetheless
• there are more smiles, twinkling eyes and less awkward anxious gazes
• platonic love, matching the rhythm of your steps
• as he walks you to your classes
• (because he still does) 

these mdzs characters wake up from a bad dream, and the first person they want to see is you 

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Lan Xichen

• it is always the same sight,
• the same blood on his hands,
• the same cold hilt of the sword,
• the same force of a push that sends him back, far away, falling into an abyss of darkness
• it is the same image that resides in his eyes, every single time he wakes up
• when Lan Xichen blinks himself awake, he can’t ignore the tears that are already rolling down his face, the lump in throat that he tries to choke down
• but it still makes his breath hitch with the effort, 
• as his eyes adjust to the dark, because he is now wide awake,
• he feels the warmth of a small hand on his chest, 
• Xichen turns slowly, eyes landing and making out the picture of your still sleeping face
• Xichen’s hand finds yours, interlocks your fingers together 
• your hand in his grounds him, even in your sleep
• Xichen turns fully to face you, his free arm reaching out to you
• he brings you to rest in his arms, comforting himself with your closeness, 
• you fit into his arms perfectly,
• face nuzzling into his inner robes,
• Xichen leans his head against the top of your head, takes in the soft scent of you beside him, around him, always with him
• with the lingering scent of the Hanshi intermixed with you, Xichen finds sleep again

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Jiang Cheng

• it is a sad thought to realize,
• but Jiang Cheng doesn’t remember the time before the night terrors occurred
• they are not always the same sights, or fears
• but they are always terrifying, unresolved,
• always angry 
• sad,
• malicious
• hateful to him
• perhaps it is a mirror of his subconsciousness 
• Jiang Cheng wakes up painfully,
• he sits up quickly in bed,
• sweat dotting his brow,
• a shaking in his hands that he can’t stop,
• a heart beat so erratic that he would have thought that his organs were giving up on him,
• “A-Cheng,”
  
• the sound of your voice feels distant even though you both share the same bed,
• he feels the blankets rustle, he’s scared that you are leaving him, just as everyone had
• just as everyone else already did
• before you know it, Jiang Cheng reaches out, grabs onto your arm,
• you’re pulled roughly into a tight hug,
• one where Jiang Cheng locks his tense arms so tightly around you you’re nearly suffocating,
• one where he buries his face into your neck
• one where you feel his warm tears, drip drip drip against your skin
• “you have me, i’m right here, A-Cheng
  
• “i’m right here,”
  
• it takes a moment, a long quiet moment
• but you always patient for him, and slowly his arms around you loosen to a breathable strength, 
• one that frees your arms so that they can hug him and run your hand up and down his back,
• you place a featherlight kiss upon the top of his head,
• hold him even as his body shakes with the silent tears that leak out of his eyes
• you hold him even when dawn breaks across the horizon
• you would hold him forever

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Xue Yang

• he rarely feels guilty 
• but Xue Yang still has a conscience
•  so all the blood,
• splattered, puddled, pooled into things that had to be done,
• usually tucked safely away
• sometimes make their appearance after a particularly hard day,
• when all his energy is drained,
• where Xue Yang feels the most vulnerable,
• sleep passes by in a wink, if he even managed to sleep at all
• which is why when he closes his eyes, 
• the nightmare comes back after a long time
• feels the pain rupture from his fingers all the way down his arm like the very first time,
• feels the angry, the sadness churn and take him whole
• Xue Yang had always been too rational to believe in spirits, but they come to him now,
• all the people that he’d killed merciless
• he’s begging for mercy
• “Xue Yang,”
  
• he should know better than anyone, that the dead don’t stay dead
• “Xue Yang-”
  
• you let out a startled breath when Xue Yang’s holds a knife up in defense before his eyes are even fully open
• at the sight of you, Xue Yang’s own teary eyes meet your surprised stare,
• he’s frozen at the sight of his blade pointed at you
• but you are calm, undeterred,
• gentle as you lower his hand, remove the weapon and place it to the side
• your actions are slow, deliberate, even the hand that lands softly on his face
• at your warm palm on his face, Xue Yang deflates against the headboard, hands coming up to over lap and hold your
• little does he know that he doesn’t have to hold to you,
• when you would never leave him anyways

how these mdzs characters would wash your hair for you

.・゜゜・　　・゜゜・．

Lan Xichen

• very gentle about it, because he knows that you’re only letting him wash your hair because you need the help
•  a broken finger is never a fun ordeal
• but luckily it is on it’s way to healing soon, with such lovely care
  
• but anyways, back to the hair washing
• all gentle and firm fingers, massaging until all the soapy suds are out
• and your shampoo if wafting up to him, 
• he’s especially attentive with putting the conditioner correctly and throughly in your hair
• maybe because he just likes the feeling of soft strands on his fingers
• and overall a great time with this man
• will also offer to blow dry your hair for you as well
• and you can’t ask for anyone better

.・゜゜・　　・゜゜・．

Nie Mingjue

• it will be quite the learning process with him
• he’ll be frustrated first with how you’ll sit in the tub and how he’ll sit to reach the water and that takes a good 15 minutes
• then the water temperature
• “that’s too hot! it’ll burn your scalp” when you tell him to warm the water a little more
  
• and then how much shampoo and how much conditioner and what not
• but after that, in the settled quietness of him just rubbing the products into your hair
• he’s a lot more gentle than you expect him to be
• not that Mingjue isn’t gentle, you know very well his softness when it comes to you
• but he massages every spot on your head (and down to your neck) as if to map every place of ease for you
• you’ll probably learn the reason why some time later on
• but for now,
• he washes as dilligently as he can
• get’s a little bit of soap into your eyes
• and a bit of water into your ears
• but his effort, you appreciate tenfold

these mdzs characters singing to you 

♬♩♪♩　　♩♪♩♬

Lan Wangji

• obviously, Wangji is very musically talented
• that is an undeniable fact
• you always enjoyed watching Wangji playing on the guqin
• not only because he looks so elegant, serene
• but also of how beautifully he’s always been able to bring music to people
• in battle, he is all precision with his notes
• in healing, his melodies wash away pain like water, 
• when serenading you,
• well
• the music that enters your ears,
• always touches your heart
• you can feel the amount of time that he put in to compose the music for you,
• and when you find yourself singing 
• with words that match the same longing
• because making music together,
• being in love, with one another
• was what music meant to both of you

♬♩♪♩　　♩♪♩♬

Jiang Cheng

• it is a hum, soft, barely there
• but you have always been good at listening where Jiang Cheng goes unheard
• besides it’s easy to listen for such a sound
• when you are lying by the port, head pillowed on a warm lap,
• where the lake side breeze and afternoon sun warms everything just right
• and the air is tinged with the distant business of everything
• but still quiet and peaceful enough
• to feel as if in a place all your own
• Jiang Cheng’s hum accompanies you in your dreamland,
• not quite yet pulled into a deep sleep
• but lulled enough to be relaxed, completely enamored 
• Jiang Cheng rarely ever sings to you fully
• he’s quite shy about his voice (reason 1)
• but in the instances that he does,
• the deep baritone lowness of his voice, above the splashes of water
• is simply
• perfect

which mdzs characters would steal your food (ft. my recent obsession)

♥*♡∞:｡.｡　　｡.｡:∞♡*♥

Wei Wuxian

• his mouth was completely uninvited from where it was right now
• snagging a clean bit right off of the chicken wing that you were about to take a bite of
• “oi! Wei Wuxian!” you let out a distraught shout, furrowing your eyebrows as you watch your companion lean back into the couch seat, happily eating the stolen piece of chicken
• at the call of his name, Wei Wuxian barely flinches, 
• seeming proud even,
• “stolen food tastes way better,” Wei Wuxian comments and you roll your eyes at him, 
  
• though you kinda get what he means
• when you steal the french fry he’s about to eat right before it reaches his lips
• and when Wei Wuxian lets out the same surprised call of your name, 
• you only innocently smile back

♥*♡∞:｡.｡　　｡.｡:∞♡*♥

Nie Huaisang

• definitely a sneaky food stealer sort of person
• like you wouldn’t realize that all the food is gone until it’s actually gone
• “hey weren’t there like 2 chocolates left?” you ask when you return to the couch
  
• Huaisang only shrugs,
• though out of the corner of your eye
• you see his cheeks moving in an ever so slight chew
• “hey! you ate one of mine!” you say
  
• and though Huaisang wants to deny it, he has the chocolate in his mouth so he can only shake his head wildly as you attack him with prods and tickles 

♥*♡∞:｡.｡　　｡.｡:∞♡*♥

Wen Ning

• don’t be fooled by his docile nature,
• because there is little that he wouldn’t do for good chicken
• more specifically korean fried chicken
• “rock paper scissors for it,” you immediately say, when there’s only one piece of chicken left in the box
  
• Wen Ning complies,
• and though he was leading in the first 2 tries, you suddenly beat him the last two times
• and a tie breaker’s needed now
• “ha! paper! i win!” you yell triumphantly, 
  
• though it doesn’t seem to matter when Wen Ning takes the last piece of chicken and pops it right in his mouth
• and though your pout is cute
• you end up being chicken-less 

mdzs characters reacting to when you change your perfume

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

Jiang Cheng

• you are standing alone, watching the boats along the riverside pier,
• when arms come up to wrap around you,
• and you feel someone’s chin land on your shoulder,
• before you can even share a word, 
• there is a firm kiss pressed against the bottom of your neck,
• “Jiang Cheng,” you breathe, surprise and happiness mixing together in a blissful utterance
• there is a soft pause where only the wind responds with a caress of your cheek
• and then you feel Jiang Cheng’s lips against the bottom of your neck, slowly making its way up,
• “Jiang Cheng,” you can’t help but scold slightly, note the public setting that you both are in,
  
• at your second call of his name, the Sect Leader spins you around to face him, 
• brackets you against the wooden rail of the pier
• “your fault,” Jiang Cheng tells you and you can’t help but smile at his childish words,
  
• can’t stop him when he leans in to pull you in a deep hug, nosing at the juncture of your neck
• “you smell nice,” his lips murmur against your skin
  
• and you hug him tighter, 
• glad that he loved the new scent of lotuses and lavendar etched onto your skin

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

Xue Yang

• familiar scents, sentimentality would surprisingly be something that Xue Yang was attentive to
• so when he comes to meet you at the inn hall that you both always meet at,
• he is surprised 
• he’d become used to the natural scent that he had connected to you, earthy and herbal from your work at your father’s medicine shop

• when Xue Yang gets a whiff of something sweet, floral, and looks up to see you approaching
• his eyes widen along with an interesting smirk,
• “this is new,” Xue Yang comments when you both sit down at the shared table
  
• and you give him a questioning look,
• “cherry blossoms,” he notes, and you watch him take an exaggerated breath of the air around you,
  
• “cherry blossom…” Xue Yang says 
  
• and your eyes widen at his attention,
• you had just tried a new perfume of cherry blossoms and ylang ylang
• and you didn’t that it would make much of a difference

Lan Xichen

• you have always looked beautiful teaching, that to Xichen is undeniable,
• but Xichen worriedly picks up on the small tell-tale signs of your exhaustion,
• the slight tremor in your hand that you hide in your sleeves,

• he quickly maneuvers your arms around his neck, and lifts your legs up in a quick bridal carry
• “try to hold on for a few minutes, we’ll go back to the inn” Song Lan says, a reassurance that only he himself hears

• far from the blob on the wall

• sweep it against the corner of the wall where the spider is
• it skitters a few haste steps
• you both scream
• and honestly, new apartment vibes
• it’s a bit embarrassing to admit but you both spend the afternoon hostage on the table in your own apartment
• luckily Jiang Cheng pays a visit later on
• and he’s fussing calling you both babies
• but at least the spider’s gone

*:..｡o○　　○o｡..:*ﾟ 

Lan Wangji

• you would all think that he would have a calm time removing it 
• i think he’d be a little worried about it escaping the little contraption that he made to capture it 
• but as a Lan, 
• the cringe from his side is only barely noticeable
• you hide behind him the whole time,
  
• until the very second that he flings the little critter out from the plastic cup out the window,
• with less grace than you had expected
• but honestly, it’s a spider
• so you don’t hold it against him
• “thank you,” you tell him, finally letting out a breath of relief now that the spider was far far away 
  
• now you could finally get back to work in peace
• only, just as you’re turning away
• you feel a tug on your arm
• you look up to see Lan Wangji giving his cheek to you,

• and Lan Wangji smiles, the smallest of lifts at the edge of his lips

Nie Huaisang

• screaming about it 2.0
  
• “you go kill it!” you tell Huaisang, pushing him 
  
• “you saw it first!” Huaisang childishly retorts, pushing you
  
• “you’re closer to it!” you yell
• and it becomes a little back and forth of you pushing each other on the couch
• and you don’t know how long this goes on for exactly,
• but when Huaisang nearly pushes you hard enough to fall off the couch,
• your head turns to catch the empty spot by the window sill, 
• spider nowhere to be found
• “it’s gone,” you comment, 
  
• and Huaisang follows your stare,
• lets out the biggest sigh of relief and actually deflates on the couch next to you
• you hurry to close the window, taking your chances
• “phew that was so tiring,” Huaisang says and you can’t help but roll your eyes at him

jiang bros carrying you to bed

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　Wei Wuxian　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

• Wei Wuxian had never quite liked to sleep early,
• finding his ideas flowing the best in the late hours of the night
• Wei Wuxian is used to the tightness that sometimes accompanies his eyes on long nights of scroll reading,
• drafting this, drawing that
• and with you to bounce ideas off,
• it is easy for the hours of night to pass and blend away, 
• for so much discourse and thoughts that make him wish that sleepiness were not a human feeling
• but alas it is,
• and when Wei Wuxian had returned to the room with a new warm brew of tea, 
• with the intent of continuing his late night talk with you
• he finds you fast asleep, head pillowed on arms that had finally given up the weight of holding your head up for the past hour or so
• (Wei Wuxian knew you had been sleepy, but somehow, loves the sight of you almost reanimated as you talk about new to cultivation techniques and everything he had always been curious about)
• Wei Wuxian is quiet when he approaches your sleeping form, tempted to shake you awake
• a small probe of your shoulder, tells him that you are truly deeply, asleep
• judging from the greyish hues of the sky,
• it would be morning soon anyways
• Wei Wuxian turns back to you, curious as to how you could possibly be comfortable
• and before he really thinks about it (thinks too much about it)
• he maneuvers your sleeping form into his arms,
• your head falls onto his shoulder, fitting right under his chin like you were always meant to fit there, 
• and your breath is soft and warm as he carries you the few short steps to place you on the bed in the other room,
• Wei Wuxian watches with a funny kind of fondness when you snuggle into the pillows as he pulls the blankets higher up on your chin
• finds that when he returns to sit at his table and closes his eyes
• he sees you in his dreams

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　Jiang Cheng　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

• above you both, the sky stretches out like a dark blanket,
• bits of embedded stars glimmer 
• and the world seems so vast in this moment
• it is a sight to behold
• and the day’s tiredness bleeds away from his shoulders,
• when Jiang Cheng sits at the open port,
• with you leaning close to him,
• staring up at the same sky
• you, the person that had always extended a hand to him,
• tried to see what he was seeing,
• what he meant,
• the person that always met him in the middle,
• even at times, when he didn’t always walk towards you
• you never gave up on him
• and it was a gradual but deep reassurance
• that came over him like the way snow falls to the ground
• “i love you,” Jiang Cheng says, a testament, a confession that finally comes out of his mouth after years and years 
  
• Jiang Cheng says it in a bit of an absent way, only because he doesn’t know how you react,
• scared that everything will change with this one step too far
• but when Jiang Cheng hears nothing, and turn to the side
• he only see you, eyes closed, head resting warmly on the side of his shoulder
• it makes him smile despite himself, 
• and although the night sky is beautiful, the changing seasons make the evening a bit colder than usual
• so even though you don’t hear those words from him (yet)
• you receive an action with the same meaning,
• his arms coming up to gently cradle you, and carry you away from the ports back to you room,
• where each step is quiet, mindful, not to wake you
• and when he tucks you under the covers, it is with more care than anyone has ever expected of him
• but you (only you) know
• that Jiang Cheng has more than enough love
• more than most would know

how these mdzs characters would take care of you on your period

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ Wen Ning　˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ 

• surprisingly, or not, i think that he would be quite good at this
• not just because he has an older sister
• (so he has experience~)
• but also because his demeanor is so calm and soft almost always
  
• so he’d be the greatest person to deal with you when your mood swings hit
• and also would be patient enough to go to the store and get you the exact brand of chocolate that you were craving that particularly hard day 
• and an extra plus would be how prepared he is
• with his heat packs,
• soft pillows, 
• extra blankets and all
• he really does take care of you in the time where you aren’t your best
• and deals with everything that gets thrown at him (from names, to pillows) graciously
• and when you’re feeling better after your cycle’s finished,
• you easily can easily return the favor

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚  Nie Mingjue ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

• way out of his depths
• i think that one of the hardest things for him, would be to see his loved ones in pain
• like that alone sets him off
• but 
• well, 
• periods are usually painful
• the first time he sees how much pain you’re in, he’s actually so seriously concerned that attempts to drive you to the ER 
• but after being together for a little over a year now,
• he’s gotten to know about this aspect of you better
• still doesn’t make his heart ache any less when your cramps are so bad that you have to lay in bed all day
• but he does his best 
• and he really does pull through,
• even when you ask him to do what you thought was nearly the impossible
• “is this it?” 
  
• laying in bed you hear the crackling of the phone as your boyfriend is probably rummaging through the whole feminine care aisle at the store, looking for your pads
• “yea that one,” you tell him, surprised that he actually found it,
  
• “alright, just wanted to make sure” 
  
• and you realize that Nie Mingjue really does pay a lot more attention to you than you thought
• “you’re the best,” you tell him, as he’s walking to the front of the store,
  
• from your facetime, you see the smallest hit of a smile on his face before he says,
• “get some rest, i’ll be home soon,”
  
• and really you couldn’t have asked for a better boyfriend
