Fics like (wish somebody would) tell me I'm fine

Her vision of the gardens blurs and sways momentarily as her foot catches on something. Before she can trip forward, Lahan sits her down on a bench. “Did you eat buckwheat?” He asks sternly. Maomao doesn’t remember ever telling Lahan about her sensitivity to buckwheat nor ever mentioning it in his presence. His extensive knowledge of her can only thus be the result of his freak tendencies, or worse—that monocled weirdo’s. Yet in that fleeting second, with her burning throat and her trembling hands, annoyance doesn’t come to her. “I don’t– I don’t know,” she says, breathless. “How can you not know what you put in your own mouth?!” There it is. The everlasting exasperation she feels thrumming through her veins whenever her abacus-face of a cousin finds himself in her immediate vicinity. She goes to hit his shin but loses her balance as a new coughing fit racks her body. Or: Maomao accidentally ingests buckwheat, and it's not even an assassination attempt. Rude.
