Wei Ying grumbled as he woke up from his nap, not feeling well-rested but more exhausted than before and honestly, having legs again after over a whole year of having a tail, felt weird.
Sighing, Wei Ying stood, stumbling a little as his knees trembled before he regained balance, nodding, he began to walk to the wardrobe.
After getting dressed, Wei Ying stretched and found himself back in the throne room where his family and friends were, the sight sending a shiver down his spine, 'you finally prove useful.'
Shaking his head, Wei Ying sighed and turned to his siblings and the man he was in love with, blushing under Lan Zhan's ever-lasting soft gaze, "How did you sleep?" Lan Zhan asked, sauntering over.
Wei Ying smiled softly, "I slept well." He answered despite still feeling exhausted, "Soo~ what did I miss?" He grinned, twiddling his thumbs.
Lan Zhan seemed to pause at that, his own ears burning, "W-Well," He stuttered uncharacteristically, turning back to his brother and Jiang Wanyin, before facing Wei Ying once more and intertwining their fingers, "Wei Ying..."
Wei Ying's eyes were pearl-like, his cheeks dusted with a pink hue as he stared at Lan Zhan, barely breathing while his heart pounded, "L-Lan Zhan?" He whispered.
Lan Zhan smiled softly, taking a deep breath, "Wei Ying I... if you would give me the honour I would like to court you, and then marry you."
Wei Ying was definitely awake now.
"H-Huh?" He stammered, blinking in shock, "Me?" He pointed to himself.
Lan Zhan nodded, "Mn. Only Wei Ying for me." He smiled, relishing in the blush he inflicted as Wei Ying stomped his foot and whined.
"Lan Zhan!" He wailed, "You're so intense! My heart can't take it!" He continued as he slapped his palms over his blushing cheeks.
Lan Zhan's heart was aching, unable to withstand just how sweet Wei Ying was, "Wei Ying's heart will have to get used to it... if he accepts me..." He whispered.
Wei Ying's breath hitched, Lan Zhan was proposing... to him!
Wrapping his arms around Lan Zhan's neck, he nodded and began to cry into his neck, "Yes!" He wailed, "Yes Lan Zhan yes!"
Yanli watched with a soft smile and wet eyes as Lan Zhan hugged her brother close, picking him up and spinning around making him squeal and laugh, "Lan Zhan!" He giggled, kicking his legs.
Lan Xichen sighed softly, happy for his brother, even Jiang Cheng was smiling as he watched.
Lan Zhan smiled, pushing back with Wei Ying's feet still dangling mid-air, keeping him close, "I have something to show you." He murmured, carrying him along to the other side of the room, to something their siblings were shielding.
Wei Ying frowned as his feet touched the floor again, being shown a circular crack in the floor large enough to fit three people in, a trapdoor, "What is it?" He questioned.
Jiang Cheng smiled widely, as did Lan Zhan, well, smiled wide for himself, "Wei Ying... I wanted a way for you to stay with me, but I never wanted to restrict you to this world." He sighed, biting his lip before kneeling and moving a latch before then lifting the circular floorboard.
Wei Ying gasped, looking down into a large water-filled tunnel, the walls polished cobblestone and lit with underwater yellow lamps in the stone, "W-What?" He stuttered, turning back to Lan Zhan who took his hands again.
Lan Zhan smiled, "For the past year, we all have been working on this, we had tunnels made to here, the sea, and Gusu Lan sect full of water for you to swim in... so... if you chose to... you could stay with me in Gusu and still reach the sea whenever you would like, the other end of this is in my... or our house."
Wei Ying didn't know what to say, didn't know what to do other than burst into fat tears and wrap his arms around Lan Zhan's neck, leaping on him, "Lan Zhan!" He wailed, sobbing into his shoulder, "Oh- I love you I love you..." He hiccuped, shoulders bouncing.
Lan Zhan grinned, his large palms hugging Wei Ying close, "I love you too." He hummed, eyes widening when Wei Ying pulled back and joined their lips, kissing him hard.
He couldn't resist though, and soon, was holding Wei Ying in place as he bit his bottom lip, forcing his tongue in.
Yanli giggled behind her sleeve, as did Lan Xichen as Jiang Cheng picked his brother up, prying him off of Lan Wangji.
"You two!" Jiang Cheng screamed, "You two need a fucking- a damn chaperone!" He scowled, keeping Wei Ying's feet off the floor.
Wei Ying pouted, "Don't be a killjoy!" He whined, kicking his legs, trying to free himself only to get a painful, reprimanding squeeze, "Oww! Jiang Cheng, you're a meanie!"
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, placing his brother down, "And you're going to get your legs broken if you do any funny stuff before marriage." He growled, tutting.
Wei Ying giggled, "That's fine! If you break my legs Lan Zhan can just carry me around!" He smiled triumphantly, squealing when Jiang Cheng started to chase him around, "Ahh! Lan Zhan save me!!" He wailed, jumping on his betrothed and wrapping his legs around him, using him as a shield, he stuck his tongue out at his brother.
Yanli just smiled, shaking her head, It is so good to have him back...
Wei Ying hummed, pulling back to cup Lan Zhan's face, his perfect beautiful thoughtful soulmate's face, this man had created crazy long tunnels for him... from his home, to their future home, to the sea, for him...
He wouldn't have to miss the sea, or the right feeling he had in it, his Lan Zhan made sure of that.
Wei Ying smiled, eyes watering and soft as pillows as he was lowered back down to the floor, he felt so in love... he felt so loved.
Giggling softly, he leaned in and peppered a soft brief kiss to Lan Zhan's lips before snuggling into his arms, sighing in comfort.
...There was a right feeling in Lan Zhan's arms too...
