He Tian: Mo you should really sit up when you eat
Mo: *munchin on a sandwich in bed* naw. It’s more comfortable like this
He Tian: you’re gonna choke
Mo: that’s an old wives tale for little kids who are inexperienced swallowers.
He Tian: ........ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) oh yeah?
Mo: WaIT NoOoOoO nOt WhAt I mEaNt

Do you guys think He Tian confronted She Li? He looks like he has blood on his lips.. I feel like he got into a fight.
I’m sorry but why does it look like Mo is peeing in this panel? Like….
——————————————————
Color is difficult sometimes
He Tian laid on his bed scrolling through his feed on Instagram. It was mostly just girls liking and commenting on his pictures and him stalking a certain red-haired boys account who refuses to fallow him back. He Tian knew Mo only made the account because Jian Yi told him to but why not take advantage of a good thing? In He Tians mind it was the world thanking him for all his good deeds.
He smiled as he looked at all the pictures (and not so upfront pictures) that he had of Mo in his own camera roll. The red-haired cutie seemed camera shy in most of them.
His train of thought is interrupted by the buzzer to his pent house.
What the heck... Who the hell is here? He Cheng never comes over this late...
He looked at the clock on his phone.
11:32 P.M. Yeah that’s not him.
Deciding to ignore the interruption, He Tian went back to his pictures. But after a few minutes He Tians phone rang and a picture of Mo popped up on his screen. He picked up almost immediately.
“Hello?”
“He Tian..” Mo’s voice sounded soft and uncertain. Almost disconnected. Drunk.
“Mo? Are you ok? You sound-“
“Drunk. I-I’m drunk~” The red-head let out a small giggle that made He Tian go into cardiac arrest.
“He Tian lemme in... I need to crash here....Pleaseeeeee? I’m in the lobby thingy..”
“Uh yeah... ok. Be down in a second.”
He Tian hung up and sprinted through his kitchen to the door, almost forgetting to put on pants. Fuck fuck fuck fuck. Mo is drunk and wants to sleep in my house. MO GUAN SHAN IS DRUNK AND WANTS TO SLEEP IN MY HOUSE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
The elevator ride was unbearable for He Tians racing mind. The slow moving murmur of the elevator going down combined with the excitement surging inside him made him feel claustrophobic.
Nothing could prepare He Tian for the sight he was about to witness when those doors slid open. Mo was slumped in a chair in the lobby, pretty much already asleep. He had his legs curled into himself, feet on the nice leather chair, with his elbow resting on the armrest supporting his head (which was also leaning against the back of the chair). Mo looked so peaceful and sweet, almost like a little kitten.
He Tian approached the sleeping boy carfully and squatted down to make both their faces level. “Mo? Mo are you asleep?” He Tian asked, shaking his shoulder slightly.
The boy mumbled and opened his eyes. “What....? No~” He laughed making his eyes squint a little. This was the closest He Tian had ever been to his face before and holy shit was he taking in the view. Mo had small freckles that dotted the bridge of his nose and spilled onto checks. His red hair was complimented perfectly by his orange-gold eyes, speckled with light brown. His smile made the edges of his lips curl up and revealed his cheek bones. This made his jaw-line stand out more. Mo Guan Shan truly was the prettiest boy He Tian had ever seen.
“Why are you drunk?”
“I dunnoooo”
“How did you get here?”
“Took a cab.”
Mo Guan Shan got drunk and his first instinct was to come to me.
“Alright well do you wanna sleep in a bed? It will probably be more comfortable than this chair.”
“Okeyyy” The giggly boy said as he stood up. Good thing He Tian was there because he went down just as quickly as he got up. He Tian, now one hand on Mo’s chest and another on his back, silently thanked his brother for teaching him how to hone his reflexes.
“Woahhhhh that coulda been baaadddd”
“Yeah no kidding.” He Tian breathed as a sigh of relief. He put the smaller boys arm around his neck and helped him up to the elevator.
When they got into the penthouse Mo was complaining about being hungry so He Tian tried his best to make some food that Mo wouldn’t die while eating (either from being so intoxicated he forgot to chew or from food poisoning due to He Tians horrible cooking skills). He Tian ended up going with just cold cereal as the safest choice for the both of them. While the red-haired boy ate He Tian went into his room to get some clothes so Mo didn’t have to smell like an alcoholics bathroom got set on fire. As he looked around for a clean shirt Mo wandered into his bedroom.
“He Tian I’m tired.” Guan Shan whined.
“Here.” He Tian threw the clothes at him. “Change into these then you can have my bed.” The clothes hit Mo square in the face and he made little to no attempt to grab them. He blinked a couple times then stared blankly at the clothes on the floor. “Mo. C-H-A-N-G-E.” He Tian said louder. Mo looked up at him and then started to take off his shirt like it was nothing.
As much as He Tian wanted to watch Mo strip for him (and he really really wanted to watch that), he was drunk and if He Tian was gonna get some from Mo they were both going to be able to remember it.
After ushering Mo into the bathroom He Tian sat on his bed. Holy shit. This kid really can’t handle his liquor. A couple minutes passed and Mo wandered out of the bathroom and looked at He Tian. Without a second thought he laid across He Tians legs, grabbing an extra blanket on the bottom on He Tians bed and wrapping himself in it.
Every nerve in He Tians body froze in that moment. What the FUCK. After a few seconds the red-haired boy started to snore softly and He Tians mind was going 100 miles per hour.
IS HE ASLEEP?!? IS THAT WHATS HAPPENING?!? OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT?!? HES JUST SLEEPING ON MY LEGSSSS. YEAH NO THATS OK. YUP. IM FINE. THIS IS FINE. DONT GET HARD. DONT GET HARD. DONT GET HARD. HIS ASS. IS. RIGHT. THERE.
It’s safe to say He Tian did not get much sleep that night.

This is a fic that I’ve been thinking about a lot and @i-got-these-words gave me an idea for it too. XD once again this is only the second time I’ve written but I think it’s pretty funny.
Here’s lil sammie in Cub check out line
(Casually getting some snacks)
———————————————————
Ok so I had this thought and maybe I’m on to something, maybe I’m not.
So remember this panel:
Mo calls out for his dad during what seems to be the destruction of their restaurant and maybe the attemptted kidnapping of baby Mo? (Or just someone trying to hurt him I dunno) either way. Mo calls out for is dad and immediately his dad comes and Randy Ortons this guy through a table to save Mo. Little Mo had that sense of physical security with his father.
With his mother he still had that sense of security but it was mostly like emotional:
Especially in that one panel with baby She Li (I would find it but I’m too lazy) where she’s trying to calm Mo down and telling him it will stop hurting soon. I think as a kid Mo felt physically protected by his mother but eventually when he started to grow he realized that he had to protect his mom. So he was never really able to have that sense of security (thus he got so callous and distant from everyone). I think Mo just thought that he was on his own but deep down he was probably still scared out of his mind.
So when he met She Li he was like “hey you’re a good source of protection because you have so many people who look out for each other.” Naively, Mo probably would have joined the gang for that purpose, to be safe. And maybe somewhere along the line She Li did actually save him from someone trying to hurt/take him again (not because he actually cared but because he wanted something from Mo). And maybe that’s why he joined, I’m not sure. But this would explain why She Li is always has that “I’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition” vibe going on:
BBBBUUUUTTTTT then Mo met He Tian. And at first he tian was a jerk and just another person trying to take advantage of Mo (like with the whole kiss thing with the water bottle). But then the relationship started to evolve. I think when He Tian actually did physically protect Mo is when the scales in Mo’s mind started tipping.
Now Mo actually has friends and He Tian to protect him. He finally found what he wanted all along. That group of people who are looking out for each other.
ANNYYWWAAAYYYYYYY if you’ve read this far thanks for listening to my horribly long rant!
————————————————————-
Ok but she Li is a dick and really doesn’t have any redeeming qualities that we’ve been shown so far. No I don’t have any medical knowledge so I’ve got no idea how his condition affects him mentally or emotionally but he doesn’t have the right to PIERCE SOMEONES EARS WITH A PUSH PIN LIKE WHAT?!?! YOU CANNOT MAKE ANY EXCUSE FOR THAT BEHAVIOR NO MATTER WHAT. LIKE NO. I UNDERSTAND THAT HE HAD A TRAUMATIC CHILDHOOD BUT LITERALLY SO DID THE OTHER BOYS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND NONE OF THEM BEHAVE THE WAY HE DOES.
Once again I could be completely wrong on what his condition does but in my mind he just can’t feel pain in his hands and feet and it could eventually progress so he can’t move but he does have treatment. I also think that he’s sort of got sociopathic tendencies. Like he doesn’t feel emotions such as empathy and that mixed with not feeling pain makes kind of a robot? In the sense that most of his “human” likeness? is gone? (Can’t find the right word).
The most human things are pain and emotions. Take that away and what do you have? Someone who doesn’t know how to function is that the rest of the world. And I’m not in any way saying people with sosiopathic tendencies are bad but how severe She Lis must be is insane. The worst part is he doesn’t see anything wrong with his actions. It’s just the twisted part of him trying to feel emotions through Mo.
Even though She Lis reality is horrible and super sad, it doesn’t excuse him from hurting people and manipulating them. I would feel a little bit more sad for him if he EVER. JUST ONCE SHOWED A HINT OF REMORSE FOR HIS ACTIONS but he hasn’t. And a part of me thinks he won’t.
Also I’m completely against that “oh but what if She Li and Mo were friends when they were younger” idea. Remember when Mo had that flash back of people in his class saying he stole something (pencils I think?) because his dad was in jail and no one listened to him? If She Li was his friend back then don’t you think he would have stood up for Mo? Like how ZZX would stand up for little Jian Yi?
I’m not sure. I think that people naturally want to forgive characters because that’s what happened with He Tian and Mo and they turned out to be awesome. But She Li is another type of bad. He Tian and Mo both have someone in their life that they care about deeply. He Tian is “bad” because he was raised to be that way. Mo is “bad” because he had to grow up that way. She Li is bad because he chooses to be that way. But once again I don’t know. Certain conditions affect people certain ways but if a person doesn’t ever show a willingness to try to change than trusting them/giving them a second chance is a bad idea. Especially if they’ve always pulled the wool over your eyes and manipulated you
Lol this is way longer than I thought it would be.
