Shen Qingqiu was standing in front of the door that led to what was supposed to be Wei Wuxian's bedroom, and glared at the naked sleeping man that was Lan Wangji. Luo Binghe was in the kitchen making breakfast, he didn't want to be involved in whatever it was the other men were doing especially if it involved his boss' ex lover.

"What's he doing here?" Shen Qingqiu asked Wei Wuxian who just came out of the pool after spending the rest of the night not sleeping. He felt tired and yet he still couldn't sleep. And it all was because of him.

"Because it's his brother's house?" Wei Wuxian vaguely answered, because he also had no idea why Lan Wangji was here.

"Right. You know that Big Boss would not let you stay here if he's here." Shen Qingqiu tried to make sense of the situation, but Wei Wuxian just shrugged and wore his pants, sans underwear as usual. Shen Qingqiu looked at Wei Wuxian incredulously.

"Seriously? Your ex boyfriend is here and you're still not wearing clothes? Are you trying to seduce him again or what?" Shen Qingqiu threw him a shirt and Wei Wuxian rolled his eyes then wore it.

"I'm not seducing anyone, Qiuqiu..." Wei Wuxian sighed as he sat on the kitchen table, eating the breakfast that Luo Binghe made. It was a super delicious pork porridge with pork brain, pork intestines, and pork minced inside and with a whole load of fried ginger flakes, fried garlic, fried shallots and raw scallions. He also made scallion pancakes, fried dough and crackers to complete the porridge. Shen Qingqiu took a scallion pancake and ate it. He loved Luo Binghe's cooking just as much as he loved the man, although he still hesitated to show it since he didn't know whether he's into men or not.

"Binghe, this is really really good." Wei Wuxian shovelled the porridge into his mouth. He loved Luo Binghe's cooking as he often cooked for the three of them on the road. "May I have a second?"

"Of course, I made a whole pot for all of us." Luo Binghe answered as he took Wei Wuxian's bowl and refilled it to the brim. He knew what Wei Wuxian liked and he always tried to cook it for him.

"Is there anything left for me?"

Suddenly a low voice still full of sleep was speaking to them from the direction of the living room. Without waiting for the invitation, Lan Wangji joined them in eating breakfast only in his low-slung pants and nothing else, exposing his eight pack abs and delicious pecs. His body was all muscles without an ounce of extra fat, and it was just as beautiful as Wei Wuxian remembered.

"Still love to show off your body, I see." Wei Wuxian snorted.

"Right back atcha." Lan Wangji smirked as he ate the porridge and took the scallion pancake. "Mm, this is good, Binghe, you're such a good cook. Tell me if you get bored with him and I will gladly take you in."

Luo Binghe only smiled and shook his head. There would be a World War Three before he would be permitted to leave Wei Wuxian, not that he wanted to since his crush was here with him.

"So, how long are you going to be here? I kinda need space for my... creativity to flow. And you're in my way to be honest." Wei Wuxian suddenly lost his appetite being in this close vicinity to Lan Wangji and how his familiar smell tickled his senses. He was suddenly full of inspiration and his fingers itched to write the melody.

"You do know that this house is mine, right? So you're the one who's trespassing, literally. But since it was my brother who put you here, I'll... tolerate you. As long as you don't come into my space."

"And by your space you mean...?"

"My bedroom. You can have the living room knowing that you can't live without the piano. We'll share the pool and kitchen, and that's it."

"And the bathroom. I'm a human too, you know. I need to... recycle." Wei Wuxian frowned. This was such an unexpected progress. To share a house with his ex. Although they lived together up until two years ago.

"Fine. No more than thirty minutes though." Then Lan Wangji looked at Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe. "You guys can keep the guest bedroom as you already did. But you have to cook for me too since I sprained my ankle and I'm unable to move around too much."

Wei Wuxian then noticed the bandage on Lan Wangji's left foot and he frowned.

"What happened?" He unconsciously asked. He was always afraid that someday Lan Wangji would get in an accident and hurt himself badly, like losing an arm or a leg, and it was one of the arguments that they had when they were still together.

Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian for a long time before he answered.

"None of your business, but thanks for asking." He walked back to his room and slammed the door closed.

"Narcissist jerk." Wei Wuxian muttered under his breath as he also slammed the bowl into the sink then he walked to the couch to bundle himself into the blanket again and slept.

Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe looked at each other with amusement in their eyes.

"Well, this is kinda unexpected." Luo Binghe spoke to Shen Qingqiu. "What should we do?"

"Just let them." Shen Qingqiu answered while taking the empty bowls to the sink and kept the leftovers in the fridge. "They both are still hot for each other, they just don't want to admit it, or talk with each other as adults. They let their emotions get the better of them and I suggest you stay away from them too, otherwise the tension will drive you crazy. I know because I feel it everytime I'm near them. The fire almost burns me."

"True." Luo Binghe smiled. "What about you then? Are you looking for someone who ignites your passion like they did to each other?"

The question surprised Shen Qingqiu, and he couldn't answer for a second while his brain ran in full capacity. Why did this man ask him this kind of question?

"Well..." he hesitated for a bit before answering. "I'm not actually looking looking, since you know I'm so very busy. But I want a love that's warm like hot chocolate in winter, comfortable like a pumpkin pie in autumn, cooling like ice cream in summer and as sweet as strawberry in spring. I want someone who understands me and my workload-and believes me when I say that it's really challenging-who can talk about our problems like an adult, and see the same future as I am."

"You do realize that you compare the love you're looking for with... food?"

"Yeah well, I'm a food aficionado, so it's only fair." Shen Qingqiu blushed. He didn't realize that Wei Wuxian could hear them talking since he still couldn't sleep, as his nerves all fired up with needs. He also involuntarily compared all the food that Shen Qingqiu spoke about with Lan Wangji.

Well, he was more like a firecracker in the spring, summer, autumn and winter. Always on the moves, always excited to do everything, always eager to see the world. While all he wanted was the comfortable love that Shen Qingqiu described.

But if that's really so, why his heart ached everytime he thought about how he messed it all up with Lan Wangji?
