no subject
but all of my chroma is from you
you know what i mean?
( as far as harry knows, jin ling has at least one other partner. harry ... not so much. )
do you know that shady market?
they have an item that lets you bring in something from home
and it's technically a gift for you, so i can't let you help me buy it
it'd be like making you pay for half your birthday present
:)
no subject
i just
obviously i'm not saying you can't or shouldn't i just think there must be a better way to go about it
i know it's not the same between us considering just how much family i somehow ended up with here and
and sizhui and yuri
but that just means i have to work harder to take care of you, right? if i'm what you have then that just means i have to do better
shady market?
no i have no idea
[ wait back up ]
okay hold on
are you saying this whole thing is that you want to give me something
something that will let me bring something here from home?
no subject
sorry, i wasn't trying to criticize you
i'm not complaining about our relationship. you know that, right?
i just meant that i have a lot of ground to make up for in terms of chroma
it's a little unfair of me to rely entirely on you
no
well yes
but no
i'm getting the item so i can use it to give you something special from my home
it's important
no subject
[ Jin Ling speak for it's not really fine but he knows he's probably in the wrong, so rather than say that he's just going to be an ass and dismiss it out of hand. ]
it's not unfair
i like it when you rely on me.
how often do you think anyone relies on me [ Nope. Hell no. Not sending that. ]
something special from your home?
i have something special from your home.
no subject
( sometimes it's better not to push too directly — he'll check in on him later, once the wounds have settled. )
well i do rely on you
but i also just
it's not like what we do i do for the chroma
like
i'd do it if i didn't get chroma out of it
this post is just me trying to get money
so it's different
the snitch, i know
this is more special
no subject
of course it's not for the chroma
so yeah it's different but isn't that a little
like what exactly do you mean when you say moonlace anyway
because that could be a lot of things
it can try to be more special but it won't be
[ It can never be the first thing that Harry gave him. It can never be the object with which he won a greater reward. It can't be the thing that he clutched in his palm when he first kissed Harry.
so it could be the sharpest, most gorgeous sword jin ling had ever seen and it still wouldn't be as special.
Of course he doesn't actually say any of this because what the fuck are feelings anyway. ]
i'm the one who owes you a present not the other way around
no subject
i wanted
like
handholds
maybe cuddles
i'm not just going to go around sleeping with people
( things harry would not be able to say out loud and in person without absolutely combusting, the series of texts
anyway. the item in question is certainly more precious than a golden snitch, but. harry is touched he seems to think so highly of it already. little does he know, harry intends to gift him one of the three legendary magical items of his world — so rare, so unique, most people don't believe they're anything more than a folktale.
jin ling would still probably prefer the snitch, and harry smiles. )
well
give me a gift, then
how's that?
no subject
maybe you could have said that??
though i
hmmm
maybe i should introduce you to yuri? she's really good at that sort of thing and i've been meaning to introduce you guys anyway
she's nice
[ And one of his three friends that weren't related to him, now that Jingyi and Zizhen were gone.
... All three of which he was seeing in some capacity.
Jin Ling may have just had a weird realization about himself. unsure if uncomfortable or not.
maybe he only befriended people he really liked...?
or maybe only people that liked him that way befriended him.
well, that was something to think about while lying in the dark unable to sleep and staring at his ceiling, later. he's putting it aside for now. ]
fine
i've been meaning to anyway
i just don't really have anything like the snitch and it has to be good enough
no subject
i probably should've
i realize that now
i
if you think she would like that
i would still like to meet her anyway
( he needs the how-to booklet on how not to feel like an ever growing burden on his boyfriend (?), who constantly looks after him and cares for him better than harry could ever repay. he needs food, jin ling shows up with groceries. he needs money, jin ling introduces him to all his friends. harry is ... just harry. he has nothing to share. )
the first present i ever got was when i eleven
it was my birthday cake
it doesn't have to be anything fancy
no subject
it's kind of cute that you didn't think to, though
just assume people would know you want to hold hands
yeah i'm pretty sure she will
you'll see when you meet her, she's
well you'll see
[ If he even thought Harry considered himself a burden he would be mortified, but Jin Ling being the way that he is, he doesn't even think twice about throwing everything he has around and sharing it with Harry. What's the point of having it otherwise?? ]
that's
[ heartbreaking. infuriating. he doesn't finish the sentence. ]
we're starting with cake
i'm getting a cake
i don't even understand the cakes they make here i'll just tell them to give me the best one
no subject
:)
( jin ling's insisting to give him cake is also pretty cute, but harry decides not to tease him about it — he's become well versed enough in the language of jin ling to know when he's tense, stretched thin between his own thoughts. whatever's eating him ( he says 'whatever' like he doesn't have a good idea about what ) leaves him a little more sensitive than usual. )
i like chocolate cake
well actually i like all cake
maybe we should try to make our own, sometime
no subject
oh yeah chocolate
okay done
you know i never had it before coming here?
it's really like
exotic
hot chocolate is even better
when they make it into a drink??
you know how to make cake?
sure
we could try that
but don't laugh at me just because i don't know
no subject
chocolate, that is
hot chocolate is the best
with marshmallows especially
i made one almost every year for my cousin dudley when it was his birthday
it's easy if you buy the boxed stuff
everything is already portioned out
i won't laugh
it'll be fun to do it together
no subject
what better new food is there here besides chocolate??
and they put it in everything
marshmallows?? what are those
wait wait
so your cousin dudley got a cake every year
but not you
you only got one when you were eleven?
i'm getting ten cakes.
no subject
nothing
chocolate is the best
i'll bring you some :)
they're soft and sweet
i mean
my uncle vernon and my aunt petunia didn't exactly enjoy having to raise me
you can't really blame them
ten cakes is too many
you're sweet to bring me even one
no subject
what do you mean i can't blame them
of course i can blame them
they were your FAMILY and they had ONE JOB
and fine i'll bring a cake EVERY DAY for TEN DAYS
when is your birthday anyway
no subject
they're muggles, non magic
really they didn't want anything to do with me
i can't exactly blame that
i ended up making their lives quite difficult
the last day of july
july 31st
what about you?
no subject
all lives are difficult!! and i really doubt you made their lives any worse than the miserable shit they apparently wanted to get themselves into otherwise
ugh sorry it just
makes me mad
sorry
summer is nice, though
mine's a way's off still.
november 21
no subject
honestly, i really shouldn't defend them
they were downright nasty to me
i might be slightly traumatized
i still feel a little bad, though
really?
my godfather, sirius black
his birthday was the 3rd of november
the fall is the best
( he associates it with going back to hogwarts, so — it really is the best time of year. )
how do you usually celebrate birthdays, back at your home?
no subject
and if they were here i would give them a piece of my mind!!
family is the most important thing that we have and they disrespected not only you but your parents and your ancestors when they treated you the way they did
it disgusts me
whatever you can just be part of my family now
if you’re ever in trouble you just go to one of them and say “i’m jin ling’s and i need help” and they’ll help you
or i’ll break their legs
he was the actually good one that someone framed up as the bad guy to you right
he’s basically your uncle wei
who also has a birthday in November
same with jiujiu
huh
do you actually want to know that because i can picture the way your nose is going to crinkle from here
1/2
family, it's such a tasty word on his tongue. sirius spoke of family, and he died. the weasley house burned down. even the dursleys had to move once it became too dangerous for them to stay in their family home.
jin ling mentions family, and it's so tempting — a warm vice, a word that means a place, that means belonging, that means people crying at your funeral and holding your hand while you die.
well. it doesn't matter, anyway. but — )
i'm lucky to have met you, a-ling.
2/2
that's sirius, yeah
who's jiujiu?
i want to know
are there lots of ceremonies?
i'll have to know it all anyway, when the time comes
it's already taking months for me to learn how to bow properly, if i start now i'll master all your rituals by the time november comes around anyway
no subject
but i’m lucky too, you know, so don’t get all sappy on me
harry i had a banquet for my one week celebration.
And my month celebration.
This one...
... I guess back home this would be my first birthday as Sect Leader. It’ll be even more elaborate.
but it’s not like we could afford to throw something like that anyway. It’ll probably just be a normal banquet.

the only reason i didn’t have more that year was because my dad was killed right before my one month one.
so lanling was in mourning and i was the new heir
