#shangqi x katy

[starryfictionalgirl]

“Enjoying Shangqi and Katy’s friendship in the movie and thinking it’s refreshing to see an m/f relationship in a movie/show that’s platonic and doesn’t become explicitly romantic by the end of the movie because not every m/f relationship has to be romantic.”

AND

“Shipping Shangqi and Katy because you’re a sucker for friends to lovers and it’s clear that their feelings about each other are definitely stronger by the end of the movie so whether or not that’s platonic or romantic is up for interpretation.”

Are two valid opinions that can coexist!!!

Shipping Shangqi and Katy ≠ ignoring/invalidating the importance and strength of their platonic bond.

It’s possible to enjoy both the platonic and romantic aspects of a ship. That’s why it’s called friends to lovers.

Shangqi and Katy already have an amazing friendship. And that could serve as the foundation for an equally wholesome romance as well.

These two have a great relationship and whether it stays platonic or becomes romantic, I can’t wait to see more of it in the MCU

Come on, do these besties-but-maybe-more look like they have the foresight to bring umbrellas?? I think not.

[yadakiti]

I'm a xiaty shipper but I won't disagree the fact that Xu Siblings surely are hot af 😤💖🔥

(I don't ship siblings together, don't worry)

From the Ashes of Secrets - Chapter 2

Shang-Chi spoilers!

Katy loves him.

He can’t believe it.

Chapter 1 ~ Shangqi/Katy ~ 1.3k ~ AO3

Shangqi stared at her. At Katy. At his best friend. At his girlfriend. At his partner. At his… everything.

She loved him.

It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen this coming. They had been going slowly, sure, learning to balance this new side of their relationship with the multiverse of madness they had been plunged into, both of them nervous about wrecking their friendship no matter how often they said nothing ever would. But despite the obstacles, despite the uncertainties, they had grown closer, steadily, naturally, falling in love as easily as they breathed, until he found himself wondering how he had ever not loved her.

Maybe he had. She had been his first friend after he ran away, his first friend in a foreign country. She was the first person to stand up for him since his mother died. She welcomed him into her family without a second thought, and she had showed him how to be a kid again, giving him back the precious gift of youth that his mother’s death and father’s rage had so brutally stolen from him. Time with her buried the pain and guilt of everything he’d lost and done, and it wasn’t so strange to think, looking back on it all, that maybe part of him had loved her all along.

But how could she ever love him in return?

Sure, she hung out with him now, when he very carefully pretended that he was just a dorky guy who liked karaoke and not wrecking other people’s cars. It was easy to befriend someone like that, easy to let someone like that into your life. She didn’t know, though.

She didn’t know anything.

She didn’t know about the blood staining his hands, about the nights he woke up in a cold sweat, his subconscious forever trapped in the feeling of the man’s life draining away beneath his hands. She didn’t know that he had stood by and watched his mother die, or that he had abandoned his little sister to the uncaring fist of their revenge-obsessed father. She didn’t know that, for seven years, he had wanted to be a killer.

She didn’t know that part of him, the darkest part of him, sometimes didn’t even regret the kill.

His own mother would hate the person he had become. So how could Katy – kind, caring, wonderful Katy – ever dream of loving him?

It wasn’t like he could even tell her.

The opportunity had come up before, time and time again. A lull in the conversation, her mother or grandmother trying a little too hard to pry the details out of him, nights when he was drunk enough to be miserable but not quite drunk enough to be brave. But when they were young, he was terrified of being sent home, and when they were older, he was terrified of her knowing. Because if she knew…

If she knew, he would lose her.

If she knew, he would lose his everything.

So he kept his mouth shut. He looked away when she looked like she wanted to ask. He pretended he couldn’t fight. He hid everything he could, from the callouses on his hands to the muscles on his abdomen to the scars on his back. And he lied. He lied again, and again, and again, over and over for a decade.

He wished it had stopped on the bus.

But no. Even with two men holding him back and a third in his face, he kept trying to hide, trying to maintain the illusion he had built, and his father’s man hurt her for it, hurt his best friend because he was too scared to protect her, right before the bus careening out of control nearly got her killed.

And even then, he didn’t stop. He tried to shut her out. He left out the not-so-tiny detail that he had killed the man. And Xialing had to be the one to tell her what a horrific brother he had been.

It was a miracle she was still by his side at that point.

Surely she would leave, though. Surely she would bail when she saw his father’s brutality, the brutality he had inherited. Surely, at some point, as they got dragged deeper and deeper into his past, she would recognize that she had let a monster into her home, and she would get herself out and have nothing to do with him ever again.

He wouldn’t blame her. Katy was loyal, yes, but she was smart, too – smart enough to know that he wasn’t worth risking her life.

But… she didn’t.

She stayed. He nearly let her fall to her death, and she stayed. She saw him killing on that scaffolding, saw him nearly kill a man who was trapped beneath him, and she stayed. She listened to his confession, listened to him say that he would kill his own father, and she stayed. She was plunged right into the heart of all the darkness that had forged the liar and assassin she grew up with, and when it was all over…

She chose him.

She didn’t run. She didn’t kick him out. She didn’t even flinch. She didn’t do anything he had always been convinced she should do if she ever found out.

She only pulled him closer.

And sitting on the shoreline, watching the lanterns float away, peace and grief wrapped around them in equal measure as she laid her head upon his shoulder, he started to think, for the first time in a decade, that maybe, just maybe, someday, he could be worthy of her.

So he laid his head atop hers, breathing easy for the first time since they had met, and silently vowed beneath the stars that he would try to be everything she thought he was.

He told her everything. He taught her how to fight. He saved the world a few times. He did anything and everything he could to earn the awe when she watched him fight, the sparkle in her eye when he made her laugh, the trust she placed in him to keep her and her family safe in the crazy world they were suddenly a part of.

And it worked. As time went on, as he embraced his mother’s legacy and used his father’s greatest weapons for good, as he let his walls down and stopped waiting for the world to come crashing down around him, the constant terror and self-loathing faded, turning to security and confidence as she helped bring out everything she had always seen in him, from the dorky kid who screamed at her to slow down to the Avenger who came soaring in on the back of a dragon to save the world.

Yeah. Life was so much better than he had ever dared imagine it could be.

But ten years of thinking something was a hard habit to kick, and the darkness would always be lurking within him, so lying in bed that morning, part of him still couldn’t believe that she was here, at his side, loving not the façade he had hidden behind, but every inch of him, the good and the bad, the dark and the light.

She loved her best friend and an Avenger.

She also loved a broken man and a killer.

She loved him.

Katy sat back a little, the golden morning light glowing around her like a halo. “Did I- Did that freak you out? Because you don’t have to say it back, I just- I thought-”

He kissed her.

She froze for half a heartbeat, surprised, and then melted into it, bringing her hand up to cup his cheek. He held her closer with the arm that had been wrapped around her all night, his other hand caressing her cheek, slipping into her hair, cradling the back of her head with all of the tenderness he had once thought his blood-stained hands incapable of possessing. He kissed her until they broke apart just enough to breathe, Katy tilting her forehead to rest against his, her hair falling around them like a curtain, a soft smile painting her face with bliss, her eyes drifting shut as she savored the moment.

But his stayed open, memorizing her smile, tracing the curve of it with a delicate thumb, wondering at how incredibly lucky he was.

“I love you, too, Katy,” he whispered.

Play Fighting | Dad!Shangqi

Relationship: Shangqi x pregnant!reader, Shangqi & Child OC, slight mentioned of Katy Chen x Xialing

Summary: You and Shangqi are getting it on, only to have your 3-year old walked in on you

⚠️Warning: mild smut in the beginning, and the rest is just crack. Minor DNI.

A/N: I gotta give some credits to @tom-whore-dleston & @crazycookiecrumbles​ for adding on to my wack ass idea! I hope you enjoyed it! Reblog and comments are greatly appreciated.

“Hmm,” you moan softly as Shangqi thrust into you nice a slow. He practically has your ass half hanging off of the mattress as his cock is buried deep inside your needy pussy. You can feel every inch of his shaft pumping in and out of you, making your toe curl. Feeling that you’re close to your release, he reaches down to rub at your clit, eliciting more pleasure through you. You let out a muffled scream when you feel your release as he continues to pump into you, chasing his own. Then he stops, making you stare up at him curiously. 

Shangqi rarely stops halfway through his one release. He lifts up a finger, motions you to be quiet. You frown at him, but then you can hear the small tapping footsteps near your door. Both panic, Shangqi quickly slips out of you, while you quickly lower your nightgown, and quickly cover yourself with the comforter.

“Mama,” you can hear Li Mei’s voice behind the door before the knob starts to rattle. In, step in your 3-year old, holding her stuffed lamb as she walks in. “Mama, are you ok?”

“Yeah. What’s wrong?” you ask, looking at your toddler and then at your husband, who's trying to hide his hard-on. Thank God that’s his dick is slowly calming down. 

“I heard you screaming earlier, so I thought Baba is hurting you,” she tells you as she snuggles closer to you.

You want to laugh, watching your husband’s reaction. He’s shocked at the idea that his own child think he would do such thing to you. “Baba is not hurting your Mama,” Shangqi frowns. Oh God, he cannot believe he has to have this talk right now. 

“But she was crying.” She frowns at him very unhappily.

Shangqi kneels down. Being a true 90’s kid, he uses the most basic excuse he can muster. “Baby, do you remember Lion King?” he asks. 

Li Mei nods.  

“Remember when Simba and Nala were playing fighting? That’s what Mama and Baba were doing.”

Li Mei stares at him, blinking slightly. “So you’re not hurting Mei Mei brother?”

You try very hard not to laugh out loud as you watch your husband’s expression. 

“No! God no! Baba loves your little brother, and I cannot wait to meet him, baby. He’s doing fine. He’s doing great actually.”

Li Mei then tilts her head. “If you both playing, then why is Mama sounds like she’s hurting?”

Shangqi looks up to you, mouthing for help. You snicker at this. “Well, sometimes your Baba just playing a little too rough. That’s all.” You glance up at Shangqi mischievously. You can see he’s dying on the inside, trying to explain to a 3 and half-year-old what the hell is going on. “Tell you what, Mama will make you some choco pancakes? How does that sound?”

Li Mei’s expression quickly changes as she jumps around, completely distracted from the whole conversation. “Yay choco pancakes!”

Shangqi gets up to help you out of bed. “You owe me a big one,” you whisper softly as you brush your nightgown down.

“I promise you I’ll make it up. Big time.”

The next afternoon, Katy comes by with Shangqi after he picks up Li Mei from her pre-school.

“Mama!” the little three-year-old runs toward you to hug your leg.

“Hi, baby. How was your day?”

“Great!” She smiles up. “Good! Hey Katy,” you say as Katy gives you a hug.

“Holy guacamole, women! You’re ready to pop any time now,” she says. “How’ve you been?”

“I’m good. The baby has just been more active lately. He’s pressing against my bladder, so I have to pee every couple of minutes,” you chuckle, rubbing your belly. 

Katy leans down, pressing her ear against your stomach. “Hey ya Lil stinker, stop hurting your mama too much.”

“He doesn’t hurt mama. Baba is hurting mama.”

Shangqi coughs loudly as Katy slowly gets up and glares at him. “Come again now.”

“Yesterday, Mama was crying and I asked them why. Baba told Mei Mei that they’re playing, and they won’t hurt Mei Mei’s brother. But think Mei Mei’s brother is hurting since he hurts mama today. Plus, Plus,” she pauses to breathe before she starts again. “Plus, I ask Junie, and he told me that his mama doesn’t cry when they play.”

Katy turns and glares at Shangqi and then at you, but mostly at Shangqi. Knowing your cue, you slowly call Mei Mei over for her lunch, distracting her with dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets and chocolate shake. 

Katy steps closr to him to whisper shout at her best friend. “Oh, my frickin God. You just can’t keep your dick in for a minute there. You’re practically scar that kid. What were you thinking?!”

“I thought she was still sleeping?!”

“Your wife is ready to pop, and you’re can’t stop thinking with ya dick?!” 

Shangqi groans. “Do you honestly think that I want her to walk in on us like that?”

“Lock the fucking door, ya dud! I swear to God! That kid is gonna need therapy when she’s older. You’d better hoped that the Avengers health insurance cover therapy because she’s gonna need one.”

Shangqi rubs his temple. “It was an accident, ok. I won’t happen again next time.” Hell, it won’t happen again for another 2 or 3 months.

“Whatever, dude. Next time y’all need to fuck, just drop off the little munchkin at my place. My mom and my grandma love her. She can stay over for the night--hell, she can stay over for the weekend if y’all wanna go at it like a pair of rabbits. See, unlike you, Ling Ling and I know how to hide what we’re doing.” Katy's eyes widen then when she realizes what she just said.

“What?”

Katy just stares straight, mouth clenched tightly shut as she slowly steps away from her best friend.

“What did you just say about my sister?! And since when did you start calling her Ling Ling?!”

“Welcome to the hotel California!” She starts singing as she makes a run to sit near Li Mei, shielding herself from the wrath of her best friend.

“Singing Hotel California is not gonna distract me from what you just said to me, Katy!”

the way xialing swung outward and caught katy with her legs on the scaffolding? ::chefs kiss:: what a top. what a statement. i mean, the first words xialing hears out of katy's mouth are praises of how amazing and badass she is (after a lifetime of neglect from her father). xialing didn't go back to help shangqi. she went back to rescue and claim her gf. her bro just happened to come as a package.

[xialing-tenrings]

     You had welcomed Xialing into your apartment with an eager smile. Your good friend Shangqi’s sister, and current paramour. At first, it was just fun flirting, blooming when you first met her at Macau. It eventually evolved into soft touches of reassurance when you were taken by Wenwu, Xialing vowing to keep you safe. It all came to a romantic, relieved hug you both shared after fighting in Ta Lo. Thus began the journey downhill. You were determined to ask her out, but it seemed a bit more complicated after she became your roommate. Despite the affections the two of you had shared, the woman you grew to adore had become distant. Maybe it was the sudden move to America or the events that had transpired in Ta Lo stressing her out. If you’d done something wrong, she wouldn’t tell you. But ever since that hug it’s as if she wanted nothing to do with you. Considering that, it was shocking when she asked to move in. But you were the most viable option, occupied in a vast apartment perfect for two. If only it felt that way.

     “Y/N, just ask her out. She spends more time with you than I or Katy, and that’s saying a lot since we’re pretty much the only ones she talks to,” Shangqi assured.

     “In fact, they should bone!”

     “Katy. Please don’t,” your friend pleaded.

     “Don’t deny it! The sexual tension that fills the room when they’re together is killing me. If you just did it already, everything would turn out fine!” Katy was dangerously adamant, to a point where if you and Xialing hadn’t sorted out your tension soon; she’d force you to.

     “Ew. For one, that’s my sister we’re talking about. And two, it’s pretty obvious the two of them want something more than that,” he clarified.

     “What we need,” he paused for dramatic effect, “Is a parent trap.”

     “Awesome! I love it!”

     “How is that supposed to work when one of the parents is sitting right here?” you deadpanned, gesturing towards yourself.

     “Good point Y/N. Get out.”

     “What? You can’t be serious.”

     “Very serious. You gotta go, Y/N. We’ll relay our plan to you soon!” Katy proceeded to giggle, with a mischievous tone that worried you immensely.

     “Shangqi- SHANGQI!” Your tall friend had now begun to briskly carry you out of the apartment, quickly closing the door in front of you with a cheeky smile and wink.

    An anxious hour or two later, you finally got a text from them.

   “We’re going clubbing! Xialing, Y/N, you have to join us! No buts!” That was from your group chat, the less conspicuous text being sent only to you: “Wear something pretty, reds her favorite.” Shit. They really weren’t joking about this. Before you could interfere, Xialing had responded with an instant “k.” It was now or never, you thought grimly, as you perused your closet for something cardinal and alluring. A small, scarlet dress found its way into your hands, the smooth silk of it pleasing to the touch. It was bold. But, maybe some boldness was just what you needed.

    After getting ready for a good hour and a half or so (40 minutes of a said hour calling Shangqi & Katy for outfit advice), you headed out into your and Xialing’s shared living room. She wasn’t ready yet. Despite your impatience, you awkwardly sat on your couch, tangled in your thoughts. Would she like how you looked? Hell, how would she look? What if she was so pretty you embarrassed yourself, ruining any chance you had with her-

    “Hey.”

    Xialing stood there silently. How long had she been standing there?

    “Shit Xialing, you scared me.”

    “Sorry. Spent a second or two looking at you. You look nice,” Xialing rarely gave compliments. Your heart raced with every syllable.

    “Thank you!” You abruptly replied, “You look…” Her outfit consisted of an onyx suit jacket, accompanied by a pair of navy blue pants and shiny heels. 

    “Amazing,” you smiled genuinely. She nearly took your breath away, just as you had done to her.

    “Thanks. You ready?” she asked, offering her hand. Hah. No.

    20 minutes. For 20 fucking minutes, the two of you stood outside of the club, waiting for the other half of your group to appear. After that excruciating period of awkward silence, you got two notifications. “Oops. I forgot. Have fun!” From Katy. “Sorry guys, I have work to do. Vigilante work. You know the drill. Also, you guys don’t need to come help. I don’t want you to. Please don’t come to help me.”

    “Either he’s been kidnapped, or he just really doesn’t want our help,” you giggled.

    “He always sounds like he’s been kidnapped. C’mon, let’s head in.”

    You trailed behind her closely, desperate to stay with a familiar face in this crowded club. It would be completely dark if not for the flashing fluorescent lights that blinked in tandem with the booming music. 

    “Y/N. Could you hold those seats for us at the bar there? I just have to use the restroom.”

    “Sure!” And that left you. So much for being set up alone with Xialing tonight. You nimbly sped over to the bar seats, more people were coming in, which equated to far more competition. The tentative battle of who would get to rest their butts on soft cushions with a drink or two. In silent victory, you sat down, patiently waiting for the bartender. You scanned the crowded room with a frown. Despite coming here to spend time with Xialing, she left the second you walked in. Maybe she really was avoiding you? The thought was dreadful. Before you could spiral, you were intruded on.

    “This seat taken?” The young man asked you obnoxiously. He was clearly too confident for his own good, desperate for his annoying attempt at charm to compensate for his lack of personality.

    “Yeah. Sorry.”

    “Well, I don’t see anyone,” he simply said, before sitting uncomfortably close next to you.

    “You are positively stunning,” he stated.

    “Thanks. You’re in my seat,” you deadpanned.

    “I think it’s safe to say we can call it my seat now. Besides, what kind of guy leaves a girl like here sitting all alone? I’d say I can do far better than him.”

    Your gaze shifted nervously. Where was Xialing? This man was getting persistent and soon you’d probably end up punching him. Instead of an intimate night with Xialing, you had received an uncomfortable night with a creepy stranger.

    “I’m serious. My friend is in the bathroom. Can you go?” you glared.

    “But I want to sit here with you,” he replied, standing his ground. Suddenly his sleeved hand caught your wrist.

    “And maybe you could do me a favor and sit with me?”

    Now you were more than uncomfortable. His grip on your wrist was tight and his smile was anything but friendly. Before he could force his lips onto yours, he collapsed. 

    “What the fuck?!”

    A heel kicked him in the groin not so gently.

    “Get the hell away from her, before I make you.” There she stood, powerful and imposing. Xialing in her beautiful, angered glory. The club lights flickered, illuminating her face with iridescent colors for seconds at a time. She was incredible.

    “You crazy bitch-” he moved towards her, clearly a little too intoxicated and eager for a fight. The last thing anyone should do is try to fight Xu Xialing. She swiftly caught him in a choke-hold, his face turning cherry and his insults becoming choked-up sobs.

    “Xialing! Please, let’s just go.” It was as if you broke her out of a trance. She reluctantly dropped the man to the floor, letting him crawl away miserably, like a snail drenched in salt. You quickly grabbed her hand as you headed for the exit.

    As soon as you both were alone in the cold evening air, her expression shifted from anger to concern.

    “Y/N, are you alright?”

    “Yeah. A little shaken up but, I’ll be okay. Thank you for that Xialing.” Before you could say more, your hand touched her cheek with gentle care. She flinched.

    “Shit, it looks like you’re bruising a bit. Let’s get you home and clean up, yeah?”

    Somehow, you cupping Xialing’s cheek had caused her to malfunction. As you sat on your plush couch, applying ice to her face, all she did was glare down at the floor. You were getting sick of this. First, she saves you from a creep, all chivalrous and mighty, and now she’s fucking ignoring you.

    “Did I do something wrong, Xialing?”

    Her head perked up quickly. 

    “What? No. Of course not.”

    “Then why do you ignore me?”

    Xialing paused. You noticed all of her attempts to avoid you. She frowned. It’s not like she enjoyed it either. But the fluttering in her chest and butterflies in her stomach got to be too much for her as time progressed. She couldn’t handle bumping into you in the morning, beautiful in your comfortable attire and befuddled state. It became torture when the two of you would hang out, your gorgeous eyes piercing into hers. Others flirting with you, and being creepy as well? That was the last straw.

    “I hate how they look at you.”

    “How so?”

    “Like you’re a piece of meat. You looked stunning tonight,” she sighed, “But unfortunately I wasn’t the only one looking at you.”

    “You… look at me?”

    “Yes.”

    “I just don’t know how I can do this anymore without falling in love with you, Y/N,” she softly confessed.

    You were shocked. Shangqi and Katy were right. It turns out you had a better chance than you thought. Before she could take it all back and apologize, you interrupted her.

    “Can I kiss you, Xialing?”

    Her brown eyes bore into yours for a second. She let a small smile grow on her face before leaning in close to you. She smelled like lavenders. You could almost feel the soft touch of her skin. And then you did. The kiss was invigorating. She kissed you as if she were starving and you danced with her lips with the same ferocity. Her hand went to the nape of your neck as she pulled you in closer.

    “Is that your phone?” Shit.

    Annoyed and disappointed at the absence of her touch, you answered the call in a breathless haze.

    “What?”

    “Oh my god. They finally boned.”

The drinking game [Shangqi x reader]

Summary: Shangqi gets married to someone u and Katy can't stand. And so on begins the drinking game.

Warnings: angst, drinking, sadness.

A/N: it WAS supposed to be a drinking game but then i didn't write that so i just wrote them drinking. But i like the summary like that so I'm gonna leave it like that.

"I'm not drinking today" You had reminded before the wedding to Katy; who rolled her eyes and scoffed.

The night before, Katy had stayed at yours and you guys had drank a little too much. Your reason: trying to forget the love of your life was getting married and you wouldn't do anything about it. Because you could, you just wouldn't.

Katy because her last time telling her best friend Xu Shangqi that this woman he was marrying was a mistake. But Shangqi was too in love with her to notice her very there, very obvious BAD person written all over her face.

It had gone something like:

"Katy, Y/N, what are you guys doing here? The wedding is tomorrow and it's almost 12am." He rubs his eyes and fakes a yawn but you and Katy know he was playing video games.

"You can't do this, Shangqi. You can't marry her!"

Shangqi sighs defeatedly and leans against the door. His arms cross against his chest and he looks at his toes for a moment before looking up.

He eyes Katy for a moment and then you. He stares at you for a bit too long and your heart feels like it's gonna be snatched by his gaze right out of your throat.

"It's done, guys. I love her." He has a glint in his eyes that makes you and Katy know that he does indeed love her, which makes this much worse than it should be.

After that Katy argued with him for a while but her yelling didn't match his calm expression and before she could yell one more time and get you guys kicked out of the building, since you were at his door, you grab Katy's arm and told her: "it's done. We are done here."

Katy fumes and glares at her best friend and walks away to her car. You stay with Shangqi for a moment but you can't meet his gaze so u stay looking at the point of your converse.

"I will like for you guys to be there..." You hear him say and you finally look up.

His gaze isn't on you though, he's looking at anywhere but you.

"We will" You assured even when your heart felt like needles were piercing through it. You may need an anxiety pill.

Shagqi's gaze goes to you and licks his lips and nods before going inside and closing the door.

That's your queue to go back to Katy's car. When you sit beside her you see her staring off into the distance, just...glaring at a lamppost.

"We should've told him." You breathe.

"She would've killed us." Katy murmurs.

"I think if we stick together we could beat her--"

"No, Y/N, she's too powerful." As Katy turns on the car and starts to get off the parking, she speaks again. "So, do you have any drinks at your house?"

You grin looking straight ahead. San Francisco looks peaceful or as peaceful as it can get at 12 in the morning.

"Some but we could buy more"

It's finally wedding day and you and Katy are sporting a major hangover from drinking vodka mixed with any type of juice the night before, and when you finally enter the area where the wedding is gonna be held you're both still wearing your very fashionable sunglasses. The sun is hot and you're glad at least this part of the wedding is gonna be held inside instead of outside.

When Shangqi says his dreaded: I do. Your mind is made up.

You're drinking tonight. If you had to make a fool of yourself then so be it. You grab Katy's arm firmly and squeeze. She looks at you but you're looking at only the rose in your garden, the brightest star in the darkest night, the love of your life.

When the wedding is over you try to keep it to yourself but while everyone is making their way outside for the rest of the ceremony you practically run into the bathroom.

You start pacing in front of the mirror and when you finally look at yourself you can't help but cringe, your eyes are watery and at least you're wearing good makeup so it won't go all over your eyes.

You put the palm of your fingers on your eyes forcefully and scream. When you're done someone barges in and you see Shangqi's little sister: Xu Xialing.

Her face is one of scared and when her frantic eyes land on you she sighs.

"Better?" She says as she adjusts her black dress.

"I'm feeling like i wanna get on a space ship and get off this planet and never come back" You grab a napkin and dab under your eyes.

Xialing nods. "I understand."

"Have you ever been in love?" You ask.

Xialing looks at you through the mirror as you look at her. She grabs her purse the same color as her dress and picks out a red lipstick. She starts to put it on her lips and you think that's the end of the conversation so you start to get out of the bathroom when she speaks up.

"Never"

"Would you like to?"

"I don't think I'm ready for it"

You nod and get out of the bathroom looking for Katy.

When you find her, she's at the bar with a beer.

"I thought we weren't drinking tonight" you sit next to her and has her arm on the bar and her head is on her palm.

"I thought you told me you did want to drink?"

"Now now, when did I say that?" You're just messing around, you know what you did. The signal.

You had gripped her arm so hard she had known back then that you're answer of not drinking tonight had changed.

When the bartender comes around Katy orders for you: "anything fruity but with alcohol for the beautiful sad lady next to me."

The drink is pushed on your hands, it's pink with what looks like gummies floating.

When you take your first sip, you automatically start to feel less jittery, less nervous, less anxious.

The night goes on and Shangqi is too engrossed in his new wife that he doesn't come to you and Katy for a while.

And you're kinda okay with that. You're on the verge of drunk already, you've had 3 similar drinks to your first one and you're kinda already seeing double.

"I felt like you guys might like this" the bartender says randomly to you and Katy and you see two shots on the table, one red, one blue. Both with a sour gummy floating on it. "It's on the house" he grins and walks away.

You look at Katy with an almost-there-drunk-grin and you both shout: "gummy worms!!!". Some people look to the bar where you guys are still sat but since the music is so loud they return to their business, just as you and Katy clink glasses and drink the whole thing, with the gummy worm on your fingers to eat after.

"Oh wow, that was harsh" Katy mumbles.

"Not as harsh as me seeing the love of my life get married today." You stare at your shot of glass now empty. Not noticing how Katy's eyes had widened while she looked behind you.

"You love me?" Shangqi says just loud enough for you, Katy and the now wide eyed bartender that had been serving you drinks all night, to hear.

Your eyes widen and you look at Katy in a panicked expression. You feel out of control, you feel like youre too rooted to the earth. If you had powers you would've flown right away from that awkward and horrifying moment you thought you would avoid forever.

When you had said that you wouldn't tell him about your undying love for him it was because you knew he didn't love you back.

You used to think there was something there, before she came into the picture and ruined it. Now he's all hung up on her and you're all hung up on him.

With your heart trying to get out of your throat you turn around to look at Shangqi.

His eyes are curious and when he asks: "is that true?"

You puke on his shoes.

Your dignity was gone.

And you were wishing falling in love was easy and not as hard as this.

Sorry I made you upset universe, for you to treat me like this, you think.

(To be continued??????.....)

I think that’ll be cute hehe. But feel free to expand the ideas! Take your time and thank you! :)

Happy anniversary, babe | Shangqi & child!OC

A/N: I'm finally in fluffy mood now aha! Thank you for sending this <3 I do hope this is fluffy and warm enough! If you like this, please reblog! Any comments and like are appreciated.

Warning: None. Just fluffy, sweet domestic stuff

Your eyes crack open at the soft tapping sound. You’re greeted by the smell of freshly brewed coffee and what’s this?! Bacon?!

You roll around, only to find an empty space next to you. Your brows pull into a deep frown, but that thought is soon gone when you find your 3-year old trying very hard to wedge herself in your arms.

“Morning, mama,” Li Mei greet you cheekily. Her forehead is a bit sticky and her breath smells like pancake syrup.

“Hi, baby,” you croak softly as you snuggle closer to her small, soft form. “You’re up early. What’s going on? Why do you smell like syrup?”

She blinks at you once or twice before she wiggles herself out of your grasps and runs out of your bedroom with a loud giggle.

“A-Mei, answer me!” you chuckle softly as yell out as you slowly get up and follows her into the kitchen.

“Baba! Baba!” you can hear your daughter calling out to Shangqi. “Baba, Mama comin.”

“It’s ok, baby,” you hear your husband says softly to your daughter.

“I’m gonna getcha!” you announce as you round the corner before you find yourself stunt at the layout in front of you. There are plates of food like waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausage links, scrambled eggs, coffees, orange juice, and of course the big bouquet of flowers.

Standing behind the table with the biggest and goofiest grin on his face, stands your husband in an apron, holding your daughter in one arm, while the other holds a spatula. You can feel your face grows warmer as your gaze meets with his. You can feel your heart fluttering slightly, just like it’s always is when you look at Shangqi.

You open your mouth to speak but find yourself speechless. It takes a couple of tries before the words come out.

“W-what are all these?” you ask, stepping forward before Shangqi greets you with a soft peck on your lips. You can hear Mei Mei giggles near you before you turn to kiss her too.

“It’s for you, Mama,” Mei Mei says proudly.

“Happy anniversary, babe,” Shangqi smiles at you, and you feel like you can fly.

“Oh my God, you made all of these for me?!”

He nods. “Mei Mei insisted on making you breakfast today, even though I booked us a nice reservation tonight already.”

“Did you really, baby?”

Li Mei nods proudly. “Mei Mei and Baba cook for you cuz we love you.”

You can feel yourself tearing up as you take her from your husband. “Oh baby, thank you. Mama loves these so much. You’re the sweetest,” you say as you place an adoring kiss on her little chubby cheek. Li Mei giggles softly before you placed her on her chair.

Mei Mei is too occupied with dipping her small, cubby fingers into a bowl of fresh whipped cream and licking it. Her little feet dangling on the high chair as she pays no mind to you or your husband.

“And thank you too for all of these. You must have woken up on God knows when,” you say before kissing him.

Shangqi chuckles. “It’s all good, babe. Anything for my lady, obviously.” Then his expression shifts into something mischievous. “Since A-Mei will be sleeping over at Katy’s tonight, you and I can cook up something too,” he says quietly so that only you can hear him. “I’m thinking about wearing this again...just it of course.”

Your face grows hotter at this, and you cannot help but bite your lips. “Of course,” you smile before yelp out by the way he subtly pinches your butt. You narrow your eyes at him before taking a seat next to your daughter. Shangqi only replies with a wink.
