"It sounds good. Do you remember what it was called?" Malcolm asks.
"Uh, something about exploding teeth," he says with a laugh. "Something real weird."
"Do you exchange book recommendations with anyone currently?" Malcolm asks.
[Once more Huaisang greets him with a surge forward and an excited, joyful kiss at their reunion.]
[Aaron pulls him inside and returns the kiss with a grin.]
"Uh, sometimes Nie Huaisang. Or if Dr. Hilbert wants me to read anything." He shrugs. "Why?"
“Tim Gutterson runs a book club. Do you think that’s something you’d enjoy? Reading a particular title and then talking about it with everyone?” Malcolm asks.
"Eh, not really. Not with just anyone," he says with a shrug. "Book club is for old ladies and bored housewives anyway."
[He kicks shut the door behind him and grabs Aaron's shirt to walk him back towards his bed, still kissing him along the way. He only pulls back when Aaron's knees hit the back of the bed, and it's to laugh and push him down.]
You were an adorable child.

[Aaron falls back and grabs his arm to pull him down along with him.]
Hey! You were pretty cute yourself. I didn't know kids could have hair that long.

[Huaisang flops over him nice and dramatically.]
I didn’t realize it wasn’t normal until now! I was must have some kind of condition.

It's normal for your world. Don't mean it has to be normal for us.
[He rearranges them a little on the bed so he can access his game controller.]

[He lets Aaron do what he needs to do, though continues to sort of lay over him and take as much space as he possibly can despite his little size.]
I must have been born with a full head of hair to start.

[He wants him close. He just also wants to play his games.]
My ma used to say that hair like that would give a pregnant lady heartburn.

Heartburn? Sounds painful.
[He lays his head on Aaron's chest, angling so he can also watch the screen.]

Yeah. I was born with no hair. Then it all came in like this.
[He sticks his tongue out as he maneuvers the little man to the side.]

[Huaisang is more stubborn than Aaron, especially when it comes to frivolous things. He clings to him and whines a little at being moved.]
Don't ignore me.
Don't ignore me.
I'm not ignoring you! [He absolutely is, but only because Huaisang protests and it's fucking adorable.]
Did you want something?
Did you want something?
For you not to ignore me! We just spent the whole flood together as children. I was hoping to do something a little more...
[He walks his fingers along Aaron's arm.]
Mature.
[He walks his fingers along Aaron's arm.]
Mature.
[Aaron turns over to look at him properly?]
Yeah? Like what? Do our taxes and pay our mortgage? Maybe we can cut the lawn? Yell at the 'kids these days?'

[Only about two of those actually register for Huaisang, but he gets the joke and continues to pout.]
Aaron! I came all this way and you just want to stare at a screen! You don't care about your A-Sang.
Aaron! I came all this way and you just want to stare at a screen! You don't care about your A-Sang.
"A-Sang? That a nickname?" he wonders, but Huaisang has his wish. Aaron's attention is fully on him now.
"Mmhm." He smiles back up into his beautiful blue eyes, now trained exclusively on him. "A diminutive of my name. Huai Sang. My brother used to call me that."
And Jin Guangyao, and Lan Xichen. All his older brothers at one point.

“We don’t have any of either but sometimes it’s more fun with just your friends. How is Nie Huisang? Are you allowed to see him again?” Malcolm asks.
Aaron's smile is genuine.
"Can I use it?"
"Can I use it?"
