Wei Ying's POV:

Sandalwood.

I breathe. 

Deeply.

Slowly. 

In. 

Out. 

I let myself float in his scent. My mind and body weightless. There is nothing like it in this world.  There is no one like my Lan Zhan in this world.  He brings me comfort.  A kind of comfort I cannot find with anyone else.  I snuggle closer, hiding from everything around me.  I never want to wake up.  I only desire to be here.  Next to him.  With him. Forever. 

"Wei Ying."

I smile because I can feel my name being said.  I feel my name as it slides like silk through his pink lips.  His soft yet strong voice is the only sound I ever wish to hear again. 

It washes over my soul taking away all my pain. 

All my suffering. 

All my anger. 

All my sadness. 

All my regret.

I breathe slowly.  In and out.  My body melts against his warm body, drowning in his natural scent.

"Wei Ying."

I smile more as I feel the minute vibrations in his chest as he repeats my name.  He's like a cat purring.  His deep tone sends shivers across my body and buries itself in my heart. 

No one says my name like my Lan Zhan does.  His gentle voice warms me like the sun and lets me know that I am loved.  Loved without reason.  Loved without consequences.  There is no doubt held in that hushed voice saying my name.  Even after everything he has suffered, he regrets nothing.

I wrap an arm around my lover and pull him close.  Yet, it's not enough.  It will never be enough.  I gently wiggle a leg over his hips and he giggles.  It is the most adorable giggle my ears have ever been blessed with.

My husband's happiness is the only thing I live for. The only thing I did live for.

If someone had told me, as I first stood outside the gates of Cloud Recesses lifetimes ago, that I would fall in love with the man everyone called the Cold Jade, I would have laughed my ass off.  Yet, when our eyes met in that brief passing, my soul felt the pull of its mate.  My desire to be with him was impossible to deny no matter how much I fought against it.

And fight I did.  I knew no one should be with me even back then.  No one would want to spend the rest of their life with me, Wei Wuxian.  Why would they?  I was trouble with a temper.  I was the "son of a servant", a man without a clan.  I was a rule breaker, a drunkard who slacked off whenever he could. 

At least, that's what I wanted them to think.  That was the person I needed them to see.

I realized at an early age that people who loved me always got hurt.  Or worse, they died.  Like my mama and baba.  So, I kept them away by being someone no one would love.  I became the man Madam Yu could blame whenever Jiang Cheng did not meet her lofty standards.  I hid the real me until I could no longer find him.
