Summary: Lan Zhan misunderstands. Wen Ning is a babie bean. Wei Ying is a little shit.
---
Lan Zhan felt numb once again.
He hadn't felt numb since he met Wei Ying, since the moment his eyes found the glowing smile that cast all shadows away, but these past few months not knowing if he'd ever see him again...
Lan Zhan hated himself. He hated himself for letting Wei Ying flee with the Wen remnants, he hates himself because he didn't go with him.
Lan Zhan wanted to kneel for punishment for letting Wei Ying take on this huge burden alone. Because of him, Wei Ying is surrounded by people he doesn't know, living in the awful setting of the Burial Mounds, because he was too cowardly to do anything.
But not anymore.
Marching through the streets of Yiling toward the Burial Mounds, Lan Zhan's heart beat hard. He was about to enter the Burial Mounds and ask Wei Ying to let him stay, instead of asking Wei Ying to come to him, he was going to ask to stay with Wei Ying.
When he finally reached the Burial Mounds, ready to confess his love, familiar, blissful laughter reached his ears and he smiled, so perfect, Wei Ying.
Getting closer, he listened to the words he could understand with a smile.
"Stop twirling- in the air- I'm dizzy- A-Ning!" Wei Ying whined loudly and Lan Zhan grinned, Wen Ning must be spinning him in the air.
"You're -- cruel -- I'm dizzy! Husband!"
Lan Zhan stopped dead in his tracks.
What?
Did he hear that right?
Did Wei Ying say 'husband?'
"A-Ying you exaggerate, A-Ning - a lovely husband!" Wen Qing argued back.
Lan Zhan's eyes stung as his heart shattered like glass. I'm too late.
***
Wei Ying squealed loudly, laughing with a smile so bright the Wens were momentarily blinded to the darkness of their lives.
He'd been hiding in his cave for days on end dwelling in his sadness until today when Wen Qing made Wen Ning pick him up and carry him out.
He had protested of course, which is why Wen Ning was now spinning around and around while carrying him, "Stop twirling me in the air I'm dizzy A-Ning!" Wei Ying wailed, yet he laughed excitedly, "You're so cruel! I'm dizzy! You're going to make a cruel husband one day!"
Wen Qing smiled and laughed softly, her heart soft for this man she's adopted as her brother, "A-Ying you exaggerate, A-Ning would make a lovely husband!" He teased.
