Lan Wangji runs his hands through his hair for what feels like the hundredth time. He never loses his cool like this so when he slightly jumps when a male voice reaches him, he knows he is a complete mess.

"How is he?"

There is no mistaking it, the last person he wants to see after Wei Ying is his brother, there is just so much baggage behind them three. To be honest the Lan feels more anxious being in the presence of Jiang Cheng than having to see Wei Ying once he's conscious so he can apologies and thank him for saving his son. 
Lan Wangji exhales a painful breath to brace himself, unfortunately for him the tone and expressionless face of the brother is non telling and he has no idea on what's waiting. 

"He's out of surgery, the blade missed any vital points, the bleeding is stopped and now they are just monitoring his consciousness returning since his body was already dehydrated before the trauma."

Jiang Cheng nods at the information while keeping his eyes at the floor, he doesn't see Lan Wangji also avoiding his gaze like the plague while staring fiercely into the wall. 
He process the information and Jiang Cheng clench his jaw for what he's about to do next, this will get him in trouble but at the moment he doesn't give a fuck.

"I see."

Lan Wangji can hear some relief in the strained response but he has a foreboding feeling that this is far from over and that things are just getting started.
Lan Wangji has never been someone to run away from his problems, well except one time and he still carries that weight on his shoulders, so facing his past he stands up from his chair and fixes his waistcoat and faces the brother of his pasts everything. 

He didn't expect anything pleasant but when a forceful punch connects with his jaw sending him to the floor it evidently is the first time Lan Wangji loses his composure and stare wide eyes up at the person shaking with rage.

"Eight years..."

Jiang Cheng grits out, his breath is labored like he might enter a panic attack at any moment, even though being the receiving end of his wrath Lan Wangji feels slightly worried. He knows that Jiang Cheng carries heavy weight on his shoulders just like him and the crazy thing about it is, it involves the very same person.

"Eight years ago you broke him into tiny pieces."

Lan Wangji's face if possible looks even more surprised, it feels weird, it's an emotion he very rarely show, but Wei Ying had that effect on him, only Wei Ying even if it wasn't him himself that tormented his mentality. 
Lan Wangji runs through his options, it probably will get really ugly quick, or uglier if he defends himself or asks what the man hovering above him means by that.
So he stays in silence still at the floor, his tongue subtly licks his lower lip and there's no mistake of it being busted as he can taste the iron from the cut.

"Eight years ago you left him broken Lan Wangji, it was hell putting him together, he finally had started doing well and what do you do.."

Jiang Cheng is shaking harder now, his body is filled with rage and the adrenaline causes his body to react so heavily by the emotion.
It takes Lan Wangji slightly by surprise since in the past Jiang Cheng had always been so harsh towards Wei Ying and seemed like he almost despised his brother instead but its evident now that he clearly cares a great deal about his brother.
The ramblings feel more like Jiang Cheng stating facts than having a conversation, it leaves Lan Wangji confused especially since it doesn't make sense to him.

"He finally was doing good and you fucking send your son to break him again, what the hell is wrong with you?! Do you take satisfaction in breaking him, huh?! You know how he is! He would throw away his life for a puppy for Gods sake!"

Jiang Cheng now yells and Lan Wangji frowns deeply by the words, what in the world is going on. He has always been told he is a genius but at the moment he feels like a complete idiot because he can't put two and two together, it doesn't help that it seems like a million of misunderstandings linger in the air.
Lan Wangji sighs heavily, he stands up finally and braces himself for a possible attack but even more so he braces himself for something he never thought he'd suggest. 

"Let's talk."

Wei Wuxian can only see blurry white as he slowly comes to, he feels surprisingly light, light like he's floating.

'Did I die?'

Wei Wuxian thinks while his mind seems to finally be able to make something coherent other than a fuzzy fog. 

"Mr Wei, how are you feeling?"

Wei Wuxian slightly grins hearing the female voice, something about that voice just made him feel at ease, his vision clears as he blinks rapidly and a nurse stares back at him with a gentle expression. 

"Like a million bucks."

Wei Wuxian says hoarsely as a smirk spreads on his lips, the nurse slightly giggle and seems to look at the machines making annoying sounds around him. He tries to move but the nurse quickly push him gently to lay down still.

"You're on some heavy pain medication Mr Wei, and moving can aggravate your stitches so please remain still."

Wei Wuxian just nods his head but then he frowns, what the heck had happened to him, oh well sleeps suddenly feels very appealing as he can feel his eyes shut with exhaustion. 

"Fuck.."

Jiang Cheng groans as he runs a hand through his hair completely not giving a care that its left pointing in all directions, he leans down and breaths in the needed steam from his hot coffee and slouches uncharacteristically over his side of the table. 
Lan Wangji sits with a formal straight posture like always and holds the hot cup of tea in his hands resting on the table.
Somehow they had made their way to the cafeteria in a complete awkward silence, but at least they had made it and what's even more crazy they had laid all cards on the table and talked through everything. 

"So as you can see Sizhui is innocent, please don't blame the child, it wouldn't be the first time Wei Ying make someone fall in love with him."

The words spoken by the Lan holds such deeper meaning in them that Jiang Cheng looks up from staring at his black coffee and finally take a closer look at the man he had loathed for eight years after seeing what was left of his brother.
He never wanted to get involved with any of his brother's business, frankly he never wanted to get involved with anything troublesome as the heir of his family's company but how could he watch his brother suffer especially when his brother was incapable of having any self respect. 

However it seems that misunderstandings have been a huge role in both their past and present, what he loathed about the man currently avoiding his gaze uncomfortably is that for eight years he and his brother had been apart both a broken mess by a stupid misunderstanding. It's one thing regarding Wei Wuxian he can be more clueless than a car on fire but the Lan Wangji has now proven to be equally idiotic, they're a perfect match. 

Eight years ago and eight years later they still end up misunderstanding each other making Jiang Cheng want to smash his head against a wall with passion.  Wei Wuxian had never intended to hurt Lan Wangji and especially not through his son and Lan Wangji had not sent his son to his ex lover to hurt him. In the end no one was at fault, the only bad person in the present is the one trying to kidnap a child and hurting the troublemaker in the process. 

"I never thought that me leaving Wei Ying eight years ago hurt him so badly, I was a complete wreck only reason I pulled myself together was suddenly getting custody of Sizhui when.. when his parents passed."

Lan Wangji has never been someone to talk but at this moment as the two adult men who had walked around eight years ignoring each others existence he feels the need to actually share for once something about his life.  
In the end Lan Wangji never wanted to hurt Wei Wuxian and all this time the only thing Jiang Cheng is left feeling is frustrated at the both morons. 
They had tormented themselves for eight years over a fucking misunderstanding. 

"I don't want your excuses, do things right and fix this."

Lan Wangji for the first time during their conversation looks into Jiang Cheng's eyes, was this possibly his blessing to get together with his brother or is this a trap.

"Shit don't look at me like that, just.. Just treat my brother right, you dick."

Jiang Cheng growls although it holds no real threat to it as the male stands up and without another word leaves the speechless Lan behind. 
Dark golden eyes look down at his hands, he can see they are slightly trembling, after all this time could he make things right, would Wei Ying even give him the chance.
Eight years has passed and even though he doesn't want to admit it, it was because of him misunderstanding and not trusting Wei Ying that things ended up so horrible.

Lan Wangji sighs, no more running, he will do what Jiang Cheng told him, he will make things right again.
