Shen Wei finds Zhao Yunlan camping out in Shen Wei’s apartment, and for a second, honestly thinks about using his powers to get himself the fuck out of there, but he can’t, because this Yunlan doesn’t know he’s the Black Cloak Envoy yet.
“Stop avoiding me, Shen Wei,” Yunlan says, from where he’s sprawled out across Shen Wei’s couch. Normally, that would be a very familiar and very welcome sight. Today, it just makes Shen Wei want to flee. “I just want some answers, but no-one is telling me anything. Even Lao Chu said that he’ll only answer my questions if you allow it. What the fuck is going on?”
Shen Wei averts his eyes. He’s never learned how to lie to Yunlan properly. “I’m not sure what sort of answers you expect me to have,” Shen Wei tells him. “I’m just a university professor-”
“Bullshit,” Yunlan snaps, jumping to his feet. “Look, I may have temporarily lost my memory, but it’s more than clear that the SID listens to you. That they trust you.”
Shen Wei tries very hard to keep from reacting, to not show how anguished he is at the mention of Yunlan’s memory loss.
“Shen Wei, I might not remember you,” Yunlan says, coming closer to Shen Wei, “but my heart does.”
Shen Wei looks up at that. “I-”
Yunlan shakes his head. “My heart races when I see you, it aches when you leave,” Yunlan continues, gripping Shen Wei’s shoulders. “It’s telling me that you must be important to me, that I must love you. But you keep avoiding me, and I just. I just want to know.”
“Yunlan,” Shen Wei breathes out, and then catches himself. He looks at Yunlan, ignores how the way Yunlan’s face falls makes Shen Wei’s heart break a little. “I think you must have the wrong idea,” he says, gently shaking Yunlan’s grip off himself. “I don’t have the answers you’re looking for.”

@thewickling said I had to do the words thing to make it happy, so I guess I’m doing the words thing to make it happy:
Zhao Yunlan, because he’s Zhao Yunlan, doesn’t leave things well alone, not even after Shen Wei politely invites him out of his apartment, and asks him not to break in again, because Shen Wei comes home again the next day to find Yunlan, once again, sprawled out on his couch.
“Chief Zhao, you-”
“Don’t mind me,” Yunlan says. “For some reason that no-one is telling me, I feel more at home in your apartment than mine. And since I’m not allowed to go back to work yet and have to bore myself to death at home, I figured I’d do it where I was truly at home.”
His emphasis does not go unnoticed by Shen Wei.

tl;dr: i spent too much time thinking about tin and i’m gonna regret sharing this post but here i am.
/contains novel spoilers.
Okay but Can is the sweetest human ever. He’s still pissed at Tin and he’s still not even sure if what Tin told him had any truth to it but he can’t stop himself from worrying about him and checking in on him because there’s a chance that he MIGHT have been telling the truth. I can’t wait until Tin finally accepts Can into his heart fully because he’s gonna spoil the shit outta him and Can deserves nothing less.
“Listen. I don’t really wanna apologize to you, Ai Tin. But I cannot forget about what I did to you. Stop. Don’t call me stupid too. You’re right. I’m a fool that keeps apologizing to you repeatedly, but I did say mean things to you that day. Doesn’t matter if you told me the truth or lied to me. I don’t care. And, I don’t want to feel upset about what I did to you. Sorry that I was mean to you. I didn’t really mean to do that.
Yes. And you owe me an apology too. Asshole.”

ANDWEBEGIN’S FAVOURITE TINCAN MOMENTS: Why? Are you still mad at me about that kiss?
LBC’S INCORRECT QUOTES: Was that before or after you slept with him?
Pete walks towards the IC Building. He spots Tin, sitting outside on a bench, which is not abnormal.
What is abnormal is how Tin’s eyes are following someone. His laptop is out, but his fingers are still. Pete tries to trace his line of sight and finds Can on the other side of the street, laughing and joking with other people. Tin looks like he wants to stab them.
“Oh Ai Tin, I didn’t know that you know Ai Can,” Pete says as he sits beside Tin.
Pete watches Tin’s body language as he answers. His shoulders and back slouch, like he’s curling in on himself. The tips of Tin’s ears turn pink and Tin actually looks to the side instead of at Pete. “Let’s just say that we’ve ‘crossed paths’.”
Pete takes it all in before asking, “Was that before or after you slept with him?”
“What? How did you?”
Pete smiles. “You seem so besotted, Ai Tin. It’s refreshing.” Pete pats Tin on the shoulder before he gets up. “Also Ai Can has been shouting about how he can’t believe he lost his virginity to you at soccer practice. Bye!”
Pete turns to look after he’s walked off for a few steps to see Tin marching towards Can with a strange look on his face. Certainly Can’s going to get a repeat at this rate, Pete thinks.

as i won’t deliver today the new chapter of a billion times because needs to be revised (not the content – it’ll remain the same, just need to check the grammar and flow), have my list of tincan family headcanons thanks to 1.11:
- tin loves to call can cantaloupe, but he only does it when they’re alone or surrounded by can’s family. he hates the idea that of one of can’s friends will use his nickname for can. it belongs only to him and can’s family – no one else is allowed.
- can’s mom is the only female aside his own mother that tin refers to as mom (remember that in thailand, they usually calls their friends’ parents ‘mom’ or ‘dad’) obviously can’s mom tells him to call her ‘ma’ tho.
- when tin wants to tease can around his friends, tin says out loud: ‘hmmm today i woke up craving cantaloupe’. can’s friends think his bf has a weird fixation on cantaloupes for the amount of craving he has.
- can’s ma basically adopts tin when they go official – can totally tells his mom how terrible tin’s family is and she decides that she got another kid. she moms tin and tin loves the attention. can grumbles about it, but love to watch his ma interacting with tin. can absolutely adores the soft expression tin has got on his face every time can’s ma acts like a ma with him.
- the worst combination ever is tin and lemon. they’re absolutely the worst and can wants to murder them when they sit around and swap their ridiculous can stories.
- can’s line profile picture is tin kissing gucci meanwhile tin’s is can sitting beside him with tin’s arm around his shoulder and nong phu at their feet playing with gucci. (look at our idea @biadamparrishs)
- everyone is expecting can to not hang out home a lot after he starts dating tin, however – to everyone’s surprise – tin loves to hang out at can’s family home, so they spend at least one day per week hanging around. usually they watch tv with can’s ma, help her cook dinner and then walk gucci around the block before it’s start getting dark. even after can moves out to live with tin in their own home, they find time to spend time over ma’s home.
- when tin decides to propose, he takes can’s ma to buy the ring with him. she also helps him to set up the place he’ll propose.
LBC’S INCORRECT QUOTES: I’ve been dropping subtle hints that I like him.
“Tin, have you told Ai Can that you might like him,” Pete asked during class one day. Tin, in a rare show of openness, had confessed his growing feelings. “He’s very straightforward like Ae. He won’t get it unless you say it.”
Tin didn’t look up from his computer, but he stopped tapping his pen.
“I’ve been dropping subtle hints that I like him,” Tin replied. “Very subtle.”
“Uh… Very subtle you say?”
“I can’t stand you, Thai Program,” Tin said in a low voice.
“I can’t stand you either, Unloved Child,” Can replied loudly.
“It’s a work in progress,” Tin said offhandedly. “Very preliminary.”
“Right. I’m sure you’ll get it done, Ai Tin,” Pete said brightly. “He’s more of a disaster than Pond,” Pete thought to himself.
