#i was sneaking over from insta in a trench coat

[ohmytiredheart]

I love how while everyone is talking about the Reddit and Twitter migrations, there are the people like me sneaking in from Instagram pretending we know what's going on

[tangledinmdzs]

Totally don't gotta do this if you don't want to, but any MDZS characters with the best friend reader "secretly" watching over them on a date? They got the whole dumb mustache and all, and surprisingly don't get noticed until the reader makes texts them like "bro eat your food" - "turn around" or something like that? Just a funny idea I had in my head lolol

this is so cute! i really love this and played around with your ideas; hope you enjoy it; i’m also writing for characters, that i haven’t really had the chance to write much for yet.

here’s to your request~

.・゜-: ✧ :-　　-: ✧ :-゜・．

Wei Wuxian

if Wei Wuxian had been a little bit more enamored with Lan Wangji, maybe he wouldn’t have noticed it

but c’mon, you’re wearing a whole mustache for god’s sakes

and it wasn’t even like a normal one 

or a decent one (like Nie Mingjue’s)

it was a mustache that you’d see on Mr. Potatohead (Toy Story)

and honestly, even with any disguise Wei Wuxian could tell that it was you in a blink of an eye

the moment that he sees you, you hide behind the menu quickly, the most obvious giveaway in your ‘stealth mission’

Wei Wuxian laughs at himself, stares down at the cleared table from when he had just ordered

Lan Wangji looks up at him, a quiet inquisitive look that Wei Ying knows how to read without needing to look too closely

“my friend cares too much,” Wei Wuxian replies, both teasingly but also genuinely happy

because only you would care for him this much 

to go to the extent of following him around to see if Lan Wangji was an alright guy

and certainly, Lan Wangji was a more than alright guy

but having you there, sneaking around to look out for him, made Wei Ying feel even better

“give me a minute,” Wei Ying tells his date before reaching for his phone and typing out a message

a moment later, across the restaurant, your own phone lights up with a notification

best idiot: remember to take some nice candid photos of our date for insta! love ya

you’re embarrassed that your cover is blown (so much for the mustache)

and a bit startled

but when you look up, meet eyes with your best friend a few tables away

you get a wink

and you know it’s alright

Jiang Cheng

Jiang Cheng chokes on his water immediately at the sight

“oh Jiang Cheng, are you okay?” his date asks delicately, reaching for a napkin to wipe the water that dribbled down his nice shirt

“fine, i’m fine,” Jiang Cheng replies, red coloring his face as he adverted his eyes

it wasn’t good to judge people by appearance

but certainly

this person sitting a booth away didn’t care

a weird, old century top hat, fuzzy sweater vest, and a mustache falling off of their face-

wait

Jiang Cheng does a double take as his date talks on and on about their current medical school stories, or whatever it is

and Jiang Cheng has 20/20 vision, so his eyes can’t fool him

it’s definitely you

“y/n” Jiang Cheng mumbles, tiredly under his breath

“what’s that?” his date asks, in the middle of retelling and Jiang Cheng waves it off

“it’s fine, continue; how was it like post-op?” Jiang Cheng reverts and his date seems egocentric enough to go along with it

Jiang Cheng messages you under the table

me: why are you here? idiot ★彡: no i’m not me: do you think i’m stupid?

Jiang Cheng waits a bit and is a little offended that the answer he gets from you is a ‘yes’

idiot ★彡: anyways, you gotta do a better job at paying attention, or else your date is gonna be annoyed

almost as if you had jinxed him, Jiang Cheng looks up from his phone just to be caught red-handed by his date, unamused

“am i wasting your time?” his date asks

“no no, work just keeps me at times,” Jiang Cheng says, glances over his date’s shoulder to catch you holding your mustache and stuffing a piece of spaghetti into your mouth

Jiang Cheng sighs, lets you be

even though he knows you’re going to make fun of him later

Nie Huaisang

bffl ★彡: remember to relax bro ★彡

Huaisang smiles down at his phone, then mildly laughs

anxiously

because how could anyone be relaxed on a first date

bffl ★彡:  i can tell how fast your leg is shaking from my house, relax, who wouldn’t love you?

Huaisang wants to think that too

but he’s nearing the edge of his late 20s

and he still

stil!!

hasn’t really had a relationship that lasted more than a few months

me: wish me luck y/n bffl ★彡: you know i’m always the lucky one :D

and right after the text is sent, the doorbell of the restaurant rings

and the date commences

luck seems to be on his side tonight 

because whenever he looks down at his silent phone on his lap, your reminders of little things come to him at just the right moment 

like which fork to use when eating the salad

and when to act coy or cutesy and laugh into his hand a certain way

and it makes the date go well

that genuinely, Nie Huaisang feels a connection, some mild spark in him

it’s small

but it’s there

and it surprises him

that’s his first surprise

his second one

is when he’s being escorted by his date out of the restaurant and catches a very odd sight of a person following him

at first he doesn’t believe it

but then

he catches the way that a strand of you h/c falls out from under a very tight cap

and the ridiculous trench coat 

and also the timely way your advice had come in tonight

and he puts it together way too easily

“thank you so much for tonight,” Huaisang quickly averts before his date can ask why they were being followed by a person in a trench coat and a falling stick on mustache

though he will definitely thank YOU later when he gets home

Wen Ning

bestie ★彡: don’t sit too tightly it’s not an interview ★彡

Wen Ning startles at the notification on his phone

he fixes his posture more out of surprise than anything

he looks around, scanning the tables and seats

though nothing seems out of place

bestie ★彡: relax, you look like you’re about to pee yourself

Wen Ning takes a deep breath, reaches to text you back while he waits for his date to arrive

me: how do you know what i’m feeling? bestie ★彡:  i’m your bestest best friend in the world; it’s the vibes

but also, anyone can tell you’re anxious, look at that palm sweat

Wen Ning sighs, putting his phone down and wiping his hands on the sides of his jeans

luckily, it’s then that his date arrives and all is forgotten in the moment 

and the date goes pretty well

your tips help him get through most of the date intact

and honestly he’s grateful

he doesn’t understand how you can know exactly what he’s feeling and doing

he kinda thinks you have a tracker on him

but then

when the night ends,

and he’s just leading his date out to the door, he walks past a table and catches a person in a trench coat, mustache

and a glimmering opal phone case

your phone case

you confirm his suspicions by looking up, giving a little nod

and even though, you’re a little over the top

he appreciates it
