im never gonna be over that old man saying if wu xie and xiaoge stay together they’ll get each other killed like??
wow way to confirm how xiaoge views their relationship and what he fears most??? how dare you
way to confirm xiaoge and others at the core of it see him as a demon, not a superhero, not a person
way to remind wu xie he’s constantly desperately afraid his inexperience and failings will put xiaoge in danger and get him killed (wu xie is so desperate to get skilled like his peers, to make it so this is less of a concern, always)
way to remind them both that they’ll pick each other hell or high water, and whatever wu xie fears he fears leaving xiaoge more. fears letting something hurt xiaoge without him there. because wu xie would happily die before letting something hurt xiaoge. would rather that happened. 
and xiaoge would rather make sure it never did. that nothing ever touches wu xie.
and that’s their dilemma really 
#pingxie#dmbj#tlt3#tlt3 lb#yes im THINKING about it again#how xiaoge never connected to anyone#and bafflingly this RANDOM GUY starts caring. starts asking how he is. checking if he's still around.#siding with him when he gives no explanation.#and xiaoge cant help but care a little. maybe hes curious. baffled.#then too soon xiaoge realizes/fears that he's going to put wu xie in even more danger NEAR him#but wu xie is IN this danger at least sometimes in desperate attempt to help xiaoge#because wu xie wants SOMEONE to and NO ONE ever does#no one ever worries about xiaoge! so he will! he has to! even if he doesnt have the power to help enouh!#little does he know to xiaoge just the Caring is SO much and its what xiaoge wants and needs more than any superhero#because xiaoge Is strong enough to survive. but hes got no one to help him cope with this stress and pain. no one to#shelter him and tell him to take a break. to smile at him and say its okay to feel weak or tired#to talk to him like he's a person and a person to be protected.#and wu xie hates that he can't be skilled enough to help. xiaoge. or san shu. or himself. he's trying so Hard  ut#but he's gonna need YEARS to get good enough. and he's trying to learn by doing#and xiaoge cant stay away because he wants wu xie alive. and wu xie clings to check on him and support him when he sees xiaoge#and then by the time they notice they're just. soulmates. just people who chose each other#and couldn't stop. and now they're trying to bridge the gap#and xiaoge's decided wu xie's in danger either way. so he might as well be with him#and wu xie's just wanted xiaoge with him. because wu xie knows he's in danger anyway all the time.#but with xiaoge. a#at least someone can Be There for zhang qiling. someone can. wu xie can.#and yeah they know there's no world they're meant to work out#wu xie's out of his depth. a monster magnet. rushes into things he cant handle#and he FEARS letting it catch up xiaoge and hurt him.#but also he cant let xiaoge go alone into these monstrous horrifying situations
