"I tease for many reasons. Sometimes I tease to keep people at a distance, right now my teasing is to show affection. I'm being affectionate, okay?" Meng Yao said.
"And the prom photo was great, but how can I tease you for having long hair when I have mine like this," he pointed to his bun. "Besides, it's no fun when you tell me what to tease you about." Meng Yao stuck his tongue out at them both.

Xichen sighed, shaking his head with an amused look on his face. He kept it cryptic as he looked to Meng Yao and said, firmly, "If it makes you happy, yes." He looked to Mingjue, "Until we can be sure we don't have a person explode over your kitchen table, he can tease at my expense. I give him permission, so you don't have to glare at him if he makes me embarrassed. I've enjoyed myself so far, and no amount of teasing is going to stop me from wanting to see you," He gestured to Mingjue, then to Meng Yao, "and you haven't been able to chase me off yet, so I think you're okay."

Mingjue gave Xichen a soft little smile, making one of the dimples show up, and said, "I will try to remember and not growl over you getting teased."
He turned to Meng Yao, still smiling, but not quite as gentle somehow, and said, "I guess you'll just have to get creative then. Last I checked you were asking what you could tease us about, so I was trying to help."
He turned back to his food and tea, glad that this seemed to be settling a little bit. He was going to have to let Meng Yao and Xichen figure out their own dynamic without getting too protective of Xichen though. He knew that Xichen was a place that brought out his softness and his protective streak, and he hoped that Meng Yao wouldn't be strange about that.

Meng Yao narrowed his eyes at Xichen, "yet being the keyword. I haven't forgotten..." he was vague on the rest. He actually didn't want to tell Mingjue about their non-bet bet. It was interesting and fun for him, but for some reason someone else knowing about it made him feel cheap. That should probably tell him that he should be doing it, but he was too stubborn to admit defeat.
He turned his attention to Mingjue, "I can just constantly tease you about being adorable." He turned back to Xichen, "you've seen him dork out about plants right? He'd be such a goofy and good plant papa," Meng Yao looked around, "do you keep plants?"

Xichen breathed a silent sigh of relief that Meng Yao didn't seem to catch what he was saying yes to, at least not yet. He laughed lightly and nodded, "yes, I know he likes plants." He looked to Mingjue, "though, last I checked you didn't keep any plants around. You should fix that." He said, adding as an afterthought, "assuming you haven't already. Meng Yao is right, you'd make a good plant parent."

Mingjue chuckled and said, "I don't have any plants indoors, though I have considered one of the windowsill herb gardens for the kitchen."
He gestured at the windows behind him and said, "I do, however, have an entire yard, with plants, including a vegetable bed and an herb bed and several citrus trees."
He smiled a little bit nostalgically and added, "And a little flower garden that Huaisang's mom planted that I've managed to keep up. The fuchsias almost died on me the first few years, but they've gotten properly established now."
He smiled at Meng Yao and added, "I can give you fresh lemons for lemonade at some point if you want."

Meng Yao grinned at Xichen agreeing with him. He enjoyed getting him on his side to tease Mingjue. "No lavender?" he teased. "Xichen, how do you feel about lavender?"
He nodded at the idea of lemons, "I will take you up on that offer, life. You are giving me lemons after all." He crinkled his nose at his own terrible joke, "you being a plant dad has unlocked my ability to tell dad jokes I guess.'

"Oh, I think an herb garden in the window would be great!" Xichen said excitedly, clapping his hands together. He'd always wanted one himself, as it was aesthetically pleasing and also led to fresh herbs for food, but he had wanted to wait until he lived on his own, as his uncle wasn't usually keen on changing the house decor. Getting one in the place he studied most often would suffice for now.
He looked to Meng Yao and blinked a couple times. "It's fine, I suppose. I am aware Mingjue doesn't like it, however." He said. He hid his chuckle behind his tea cup, muttering mostly to himself, "friends are a part of life, so life is technically giving you lemons..."

Once Mingjue caught up with the joke that Meng Yao was trying to make, he sighed, it was a bad joke, but it seemed to have amused both Meng Yao and to an extent Xichen, so he wasn't going to say anything. He smiled at Xichen's enthusiasm over the idea of a little kitchen her planter in the window. He said, "Maybe both of you can help me pick out herbs at some point then."
He thought that something like that could be a fun joint activity, though he wasn't entirely sure that the others would agree that going to the gardening store was something fun to do with friends. He enjoyed it there though. There were lots of plants, and people didn't tend to bother him.
He finished the food that was on his plate and glanced at the other two's plates, trying to determine where they were in their food while he sipped his tea. He said, "If anyone wants, there is enough for seconds. Just let me know."

Meng Yao clasped his hands together excitedly, "I need this gardening store date. Xichen, you have not seen adorable until you've seen Mingjue get all dopey and excited over plants." He shook his head, "not that you probably haven't seen it before, but I need you to look at it through the eyes of," he gestured a rainbow in front of himself, "adorabilty."
He crinkled his nose at Mingjue to make his point. "I'm full, but I would not be opposed to taking some home with me when our evening comes to a close," he said, trying to make it clear that that was not right now.

Xichen smiled at the suggestion of all of them going to a garden store together, and his let out a small laugh at Meng Yao's insistence it happen. "I have indeed witnessed it before, but I think a trip with all three of us could be fun." He said, not commenting on the fact that he always found Mingjue cute and his friend talking about plants just added to the fondness Xichen already had for the other man.
He looked down at his plate and contemplated if he wanted more now or wanted to bring some back home with him as well. "I could go for a little bit more..." He said after a few moments of debate.

Mingjue took his and Xichen's plates back to the kitchen to load more food onto, knowing about how much Xichen usually wanted for a second serving. While he was in the kitchen, he grabbed two containers, one for a single serving, and one for the rest. He quickly packed them, and stuck a label with "Meng Yao" written on it on the single serving one before tucking them into the fridge.
As he brought the food back, placing the plates at their respective places, he said, "Meng Yao, make sure you don't forget your leftovers, but they're in the fridge for now."
He added, "I still need to get the characters for your name at some point, it's weird labeling yours in English when everything else in there is labeled with characters."
He smiled slightly that the other two both seemed interested in shopping for plants. It felt awfully domestic to be doing so with Xichen, but he wasn't entirely sure if Meng Yao being added felt more or less domestic. He liked the idea though. He said, "We should figure out a time that works for all of us then."

"Meng as in first month and Yao as in radiant jade," Meng Yao explained. "I can write it down for you later." He perched his chin on his folded hands and watched Xichen and Mingjue with a wry smile on his face. "You know my schedule Mingjue, so you might be the best person to coordinate this gardening date."
He was enjoying the company and was trying not to be too rotten, but it was against his nature to be so well behaved. "You know, you two act like a cute, old married couple."
