haha jk, no pressure. :3 i have a feeling when i get through this documentary i'm going to have the biggest writing urges and i already have so much to do sobs.
nah i think within a week or even a month is fine if you're really busy (or maybe i'm just making excuses for myself in this case) but if you never ever respond to comments i will think you're rude >:(
Yilun keeps a tiny notebook hidden in the space between the wall and the mattress in which he writes down everything that annoys him. The stylists and producers alike tell him he needs to smile more, be angry less, and Binbin echoes the nagging at home the second the telltale crease forms between Yilun's eyebrows. Yilun likes to pretend he can take it all in stride and maintain his composure, but he knows he'd be lost without his little book.
There's a special section of the book, or rather the entire back half, dedicated to Yusheng. Yusheng is the reason Yilun started the notebook in the first place. The very first entry is Yusheng's snoring, written by the light of his cell phone at three in the morning when they all had to be awake in two hours. Eventually Yilun got used to the snoring, and the entry was crossed out with a meticulously straight line- in pencil, just in case he changed his mind.
Yusheng's is the thickest section and grows daily. Sitting down in his bed and listing out everything that has annoyed him during the day is his ritual. The last person Yilun sees every day is Yusheng, curled up and asleep within seconds of hitting the bed, so it seems natural that Yusheng features so prominently in Yilun's book (Yusheng blasts Show Luo for over an hour, Yusheng eats all of the snacks, Yusheng talks too much, Yusheng sings in the shower). Venting through his notebook keeps him from snapping at his roommate, band mate and friend, and that can only be a good thing, especially considering Yusheng reacts much like a kicked puppy to every clipped word or phrase. No matter how irked, Yilun can't stop the pang of guilt that hits when Yusheng gives him those wide, sad eyes. Unfortunately that twinge of guilt only makes him more annoyed, and so the pages fill.
The room is dark and Yilun slides the notebook back into place. With a relieved sigh, he sinks back against his pillow and lets his eyes fall closed. This is one of the best parts of the day, after he's finished writing and can let himself drift off into peaceful, unburdened oblivion. There's a muffled cricket chirping outside their window and something creaks in the hallway. Just as Yilun is drifting off, Yusheng shifts in his bed across the room. Yilun is entirely too familiar with the sounds that come with sharing a room with Yusheng, and he follows the familiar rhythm of Yusheng's movements, the rustling of the covers being thrown back, the soft thunk as Yusheng's knee hits the floor, the slow breathing coming closer.
Yilun rolls over onto his side as Yusheng crawls into the bed. Tonight he's too tired, he tells himself, to fight his friend's childish habits. "Don't blame me if Binbin teases you again," he grumbles as Yusheng wriggles a little closer. Arms slide around Yilun's waist and he's tempted to struggle, but instead he stays perfectly still and waits. Gradually the breathing slows again, the snores are at least quieter tonight. Yilun reaches into his secret space and draws out the notebook. He uses the light from his phone and scribbles, Yusheng can't sleep alone when he misses his family.
Yilun sees no point in omitting repeat entries, and this one graces almost every page.
a while back there was an anon talking about wanting a rabbit doubt au for infinite. it's a long shot but anon, are you still around? because i found one. except it's in french and on the french equivalent of aff.
