mo guan shan: i don't have a petname for he tian, that's stupid.
jian yi: oh really? what do bees make?
mo: honey.
jian yi:
mo: did you really think that'd work?
jian yi: yeah.
mo guan shan: dumbass.
he tian, popping out of nowhere: yeah, baby?
zhan zheng xi: it’s a shame how fast our childhood has passed
jian yi: yeah, i mean, when was the last time any of us was just unconditionally happy and, i don’t know, blew bubbles?
he tian: i don’t think i ever did that but i did blow little mo like forty minutes ago in the bathroom. made us both really happy.
mo guan shan, blushing: s-shut up!
he cheng: that redhead boy, his eyes are green, right?
he tian: no, they're amber, just like honey or resin glistening in the rays of sun.
he cheng: and when was the last time he smiled?
he tian: well, this morning guanshan was eating a sandwich and smiled very-very slightly, out of the corner of his lips.
he cheng: right... and when is my birthday?
he tian:
he cheng: when is my birthday, he tian? when, huh? WHEN?
he tian: oh, that looks heavy, can i give you a hand?
mo guan shan: you're pointing at my ass.
he tian: ... your point being?
mo guan shan: i have a headache.
he tian: i have a backache.
mo guan shan: i'll rub your back.
he tian: i'll give you head.
mo guan shan: what?
he tian: what?
he tian: i don't want a lot for christmas
he tian: there's just one thing i need
mo guan shan:
he tian: normal family, no addiction to cigarettes and MORE LOVE FROM MY LITTLE MOMO
jian yi: he tian can't be good at everything. i bet he's a bad kisser.
mo guan shan: no, he's good at that too.
jian yi: ...wHAT?
mo guan shan: what?
i'm convinced that mo guan shan apologizes the way many mothers do: he brings a plate of sliced fruit or a cup of tea, calls for dinnner, because he loves with acts of service.
(but he tian doesn't get it cause his mom died)
(I'M SORRY)
mama mo: what are you guys doing?
he tian: um... it's our bro thing, you know. totally platonic best bros do it all the time now.
mama mo: ...
mama mo: it's okay, boys. guan shan, i'm sorry you felt like you couldn't tell me that you have a boyfriend. you can go back to kissing now, i'll leave.
in the christmas special mo guan shan will have deja vu: he tian takes him home, undresses him and puts him to bed, just like that night. then it was only the beginning of their relatioship and they were a bit clumsy and shy, just learning to love and do things right.
and this evening, after so many years apart, feels almost the same. they're awkward again and not sure how to behave around each other. but it's not a return to the start, just a new chapter in their relatioship. a continuation of a long love story.
actually, this is not true. he tian'd never mention his beloved husband's name to the police.
police, arresting he tian: everything you say will be held against you.
he tian: mo guan shan.
police, arresting he tian: everything you say will be held against you.
he tian: mo guan shan.
the little kitty fang😭 guan shan is literally a poor little meow meow
he tian: i have a confession.
mo guan shan: ?
he tian: you know all those times you let me snuggle with you in bed after nightmares? um, half the time those nightmares were just an excuse to sleep next to you...
mo guan shan: that's terrible.
he tian: i'm sorry-
mo guan shan: you know you don't have to pretend to sleep with me. next time, just lie down next to me.
