[ us like how many threads will we have this week? the limit does not exist
anyway lu bixing is still sticking to lin jingheng like glue most of the time, though, he did sleep in his own bed which was an improvement. did he sleep well? no. it's fine.
either way, on tuesday morning, he's up really, really, really early. like, unreasonably early for lu bixing. like
maybe he didn't sleep at all
either way he's kind of in the hallway where lin jingheng's room is like he's waffling over knocking on the door. what if he wakes up his lil sweetheart roommate. he's just here. he has coffee? it might be watered down but he has it! he has not slept. send help. ]
[ it's critroles all over again but worse???? still, jingheng does emerge from the room very quietly, zhanlu on his arm. he's been up for a while, so hearing bixing move down the hall isn't too difficult. as he lifts his head, he sees the coffee and
glances down the hall before gently setting a hand on lu bixing's arm. ]
... You slept by yourself.
[ captain obvious but like THIS IS A COMPLAINT IN THE MOST LJH MANNER. he bumps him as he starts to walk them towards idk a source of food maybe. ]
oh. well! lu bixing seems to snap out of the sort of daze he was in when lin jingheng touches him - he blinks, a little surprised, and then looks at him, properly...? and then just lets lin jingheng start to bump him along as he tries and put himself together, properly. right. right, food. he probably should eat.
he manages a smile that's a little more normal, though, a half grin. ]
... Well, I wouldn't want to wake up your roommate, but, if you're sure...? [ even though really, he'd love to. actually, that would probably soothe him more than anything else in the entire world, to be able to wake up next to lin jingheng and make sure he's still there in the middle of the night.
[ here, in the privacy of just the two of them, he can say this. (later, he will find that it slips after half a bottle of whiskey, and all because of lu bixing's stupid little puppy face.)
he glances back at his and cosmos' room one more time. ]
I'm very sure.
You like him. [ bixing is just a puppy who loves (almost) everyone. ]
[ this does make him really, really happy - like, more than anything. he is a giant puppy, and it becomes even more obvious in this moment, because his tail's practically wagging, and he ducks his head with a little smile. ]
...I do. The people here are good. [ even if it's, you know, hell.
he reaches out, though, and...though he pauses for a second, he then reaches again, and gently loops his pinky with lin jingheng's. ] Do you? [ like your roommate. ]
