[He shifts accordingly, quick to hold her just a little tighter as he smiles into her hair. Jiang Cheng had always hated when he joked like that. When Gwen laughs, it feels like winning something he didn't even know he could win.]

You like me like this. [He tugs his hand out of her grasp in order to thumb away her tears, and then he catches her hand again and gives it a soft squeeze.]

[construing]

〈 she is also literally psychiatric so that might not be a ringing endorsement, just saying. out loud, she only laughs again. 〉

And I question my life and my choices each and every day.

〈 lifting her head, she meets his dark eyes. the tears have stopped, but her eyes still look a little heavy. it lightens with her smile. 〉

You mean a lot to me, you know.

[singlelogbridge]

[A soft smile steals across his features and his heart aches in his chest.]

I know. [He might question many things and know that he is ultimately unworthy of Gwen's affections as he was unworthy of Shijie's and Lan Zhan's, but he does not question that he has them.]

You do too. Even when you bully me and don't pay attention to me and leave poor Xianxian all on his own.

[construing]

〈 just for that, gwen snaps her fingers. 〉

I knew I was forgetting something. I was going to leave you all on your own tonight! Thanks for reminding me—

〈 —and she starts making to do just that. 😌 〉

[singlelogbridge]

Hey! [A whine slips into his voice and he lunges forward, wrapping both arms around one of hers and giving her the most betrayed pitying look he can summon. (Take notes, Itachi. This is how you betray a friend.)]

I'll be so sad if you go. Do you want me to be sad, Gwen? Is that what you want? Are you so cruel?

[construing]

〈 zero hesitation: 〉 Yes.

[singlelogbridge]

Nooooo! [He holds on tighter, octopus-ing his arms around her waist as well.]

My Gwen is sweet and kind and would never abandon me in my time of need.

[construing]

〈 laughing, 〉 What are you—a squid? Oh, jeez!

〈 forget squid. he’s attached himself like a boa. when he squeezes, she lets herself drop back on the bed. her hands flit to the spots where she knows he is ticklish. 〉

[singlelogbridge]

[He beams in triumph and loosens his hold without letting go entirely. Sometimes it still strikes him how inappropriate this would be in his own culture, but never enough to make him care.

Not about propriety anyway. Caring about being tickled is definitely enough to have him springing away.]

Stop! No! That's cheating! Gweeen!!

[construing]

I’m sweet and kind and could never cheat!

〈 she is, in fact, cheating.

before he can escape, she catches her legs around his waist and wraps her arms around his shoulders until she’s essentially a human-shaped backpack draped against his back. unlike wei wuxian, she does not need to tighten her hold on him. the same way she clings to walls she clings to him.

this is all ridiculous and absurd and even her dad would have something to say (a lot of somethings, actually) about her current behavior.

gwen laughs again, and when he turns his head, drops a kiss to wei wuxian’s cheek. 〉

[singlelogbridge]

[Rather than try to shake her off, Wei Wuxian instinctively catches her legs to make sure she doesn't fall, forgetting entirely that Gwen is about ten times more durable then him. It's the principle of the matter. At the kiss pressed to his cheek, he blushes red and huffs under his breath, grinning from ear to ear.]

Who's the sticky one now? [And because he is the way he is, he immediately begins to spin in place, still holding onto her legs to make sure she doesn't actually fall. (As if she could.)]

Have you had enough yet?

[construing]

〈 holding onto his shoulders, she whoops loudly. thank odin for soundproofing, she thinks, and laughs again. 〉

No!

[singlelogbridge]

[Wei Wuxian cackles and opens the door, giving Gwen ample time to protest if she's against this new development. She does not, which is obvious permission for Wei Wuxian to take off down the hall yelling with Gwen attached to his back.

Nothing to see here, just two dumbass friends running through the hallways for no reason.]
