[ He doesn't lean away from that, instead sinking a bit further so that his head is nearly resting on the bar counter. ]

I think that counts. I was sure you'd discount me as a heretic.

[chosenwang]

[ Studying him for a moment before he takes a drink. ]

It's pretty tasty. Want to try? [ Offering the cup over ] I may not always show it, but I am glad to have earned your trust.

[diabolizes]

[ He stands back up straight and reaches for the cup, taking a sip without much thought. ]

Hmm... not bad. Could use some more alcohol, though.

[ But he isn't trying to get either of them shitfaced right now, so it's fine as is. ]

It's quite hard to earn my trust. You should feel accomplished.

[chosenwang]

[ Getting shitfaced sounds pretty good now. He will take his cup back and looks at the rim a moment ]

Maybe later. Are you making yourself something?

[ Then he'll take another drink ]

I do! I feel like I've gotten quite the treasure from it. No one else would have helped me tease Xiao like you do.

[diabolizes]

Hmm, maybe later.

[ For now, he'll go back to slouching against the bar counter. ]

Surely that can't be all that you consider a treasure?

[chosenwang]

[ Why the slouching? Reaching over with his free hand to poke his head ]

Interesting bar decor. I do hope the top is actually cleaned.

[ He is wondering if something is wrong. There's no way he put together anything from earlier, right? ]

Are you looking for an ego boost? I'll consider it if you say please.

[diabolizes]

[ Well... Wang Lu is about to get his answer when Wei Wuxian lets out a sigh. He's beaten around the bush long enough. ]

What are your feelings toward me?

[ Sorry, that little aside with Temenos was damning. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Between his roommate and Psyche, he knew it was bound to be obvious at some point.

Looking at his cup for a moment. ]

Is that why you're trying to become one with the bar? [ A pause. ] The main feelings are that you're a dear friend who I want to see happy. You just also happen to be a very attractive dear friend who makes it easy to grow quite fond of.

[diabolizes]

[ He finally stands up straight, but he shoots a glare at Wang Lu as he reaches over and steals his drink to take a sip. ]

Tch. Bullshit. What happened to baring it all?

[chosenwang]

[ He can't help but smile at that. ]

It's a little embarrassing baring it all when it's about you. [ He may have an actual one whole embarrassment ] Expressing myself genuinely isn't something I do often, but I don't like breaking my promises.

I like you much more than I should, Wei Wuxian. I found myself rather smitten with you.

[diabolizes]

[ Ah. Exactly what he expected to hear but he’ll be damned if his heart doesn’t skip a beat anyway.

He sets Wang Lu’s drink down back in front of him. ]

I like Psyche, and I’ve told her as much. She feels the same.

[ Sorry, the torture has to continue for just a few more seconds. ]

I’ve also told her that I like you too. Liking people in this way is unfamiliar to me. Funny how it works out that I would experience this feeling twice here.

1/3

[chosenwang]

[ Putting his hand on his glass while Wei Wuxian says what he was expecting to hear. While there is a little bit of pain with the confirmation, it was expected and even encouraged. It wasn't just Wei Wuxian that he was giving his blessing to after all. He will give a smile at that, and start to open his mouth to respond, when the next set of words leaves his mouth. ]

[chosenwang]

[ That. That was not expected at all. Hello? ]

[chosenwang]

[ He's going to point at Wei Wuxian. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Point to himself ]

[chosenwang]

[ Point to between them ]

done

[chosenwang]

You actually realized it?

1/3

[diabolizes]

…

2/3

[diabolizes]

I’m well aware of the things I do, and of what goes on around me.

[ No, no he is not. ]

3/3

[diabolizes]

You may be bad at picking up on hints, but I’m certainly not.

[chosenwang]

[ Sorry but he's going to cover his mouth with a fist as he laughs. Just his face and also maybe because relief? ]

What hints have you even been dropping?

[diabolizes]

[ Shit. Wang Lu has got him there. ]

…Alright, alright. You win.

[ He’s the king of mixed signals. ]

Give me a bit of grace with this. I’m used to flirting without feelings being involved.

[chosenwang]

[ He's seen peeks of the shyness during spin the bottle, but it's a different feeling when you're the one that caused it. ]

If you look like that, I'll just want to tease you some more. [ Oh but... ] What does this mean then?

[diabolizes]

[ He wouldn’t mind being teased, but before he can say that, Wang Lu asks him that very important question. ]

What do you want it to mean?

[ This isn’t him trying to pawn off the decision on Wang Lu—he genuinely wants to know. ]

[chosenwang]

I suppose that is up to Psyche. I did tell her not-it. [ He didn't just give his blessing to Wei Wuxian. ]

I would like to steal something from you first, which might not be fair.
