[[[忘羡 | WangXian 1]] : The Second Kiss That Came Too Soon

[29.] Gusu beds.

***

Both boys started to look like themselves more and more over the next couple of days. 

It was really strange how suddenly the roles had reversed. Wei Ying had to be the smarter one, trying to calm Lan Zhan down, and curb his passion. On the other hand, Lan Wangji looked like he always had high fever, walking around all flushed and excited, as if he was constantly intoxicated  –  he was laughing more often than ever, and he would use any and every opportunity to jump onto Wei Wuxian every time they were alone, kissing and touching him. 

Wei Ying was in heaven, but this constant arousal was also quite painful.

*** 
These first nights at the Cloud Recesses, Wei Ying could not fall asleep. 

The bed was awful, as per usual here, and he always had a hard time falling asleep in anew place. The moon was full that night and through the open window he could see the inner yard, all lit by the pearly moonlight. And then there was a faint noise under his window.

"What could that be?" –  he wondered.  –  "There are strict night shifts of Clan disciples who are on duty and patrolling the premises. Maybe it's a stray bird?"

He carefully tiptoed to the window to peeked outside. At this precise moment something – or rather someone  –  tumbled all over him and they both rolled on the floor.

- Ouch! What... -  Wei Ying opened his eyes wide.  –  Lan Zhan! What the hell are you... what --

He could not finish, as his mouth was now busy kissing another beautiful, thirsty mouth. He sighed happily. Lan Zhan's kisses were amazing, always, from day one.

- Wei Ying... -  he panted. – I could not sleep... And the moon is too bright.... And I am not tired. And... how can I sleep when I know you are not 10 feet away from me!!!  -   he smiled.

Wei Ying blushed. This was getting harder and harder, and out of hand. They craved each other so much that staying separated was almost impossible now. It was a pull, a severe pull, that worked non-stop, day and night.

They had to talk.

- Come to bed with me.  –  he whispered and took his hand. – And be quiet - we mustn't alert all your Clan, right?  –  he giggled.

Lan Zhan followed him into bed, drunk with happiness. These few hours were the happiest he had ever been in his entire life. He truly lived in a dream world which contained just the two of them, and it was perfect. Unrealistic, but perfect.

- Shizun....  –  Wei Ying started.

- Mmmmm?  –  Lan Zahn's mouth was busy kissing his neck.

- Shizun, I am ready.  –  Wei Wuxian said firmly.

Lan Zhan stopped abruptly. He then propped himself on one elbow and looked at Wei Wuxian's face seriously. The slender boy was now pleased to see that Young Master Lan was looking a lot better, and a lot healthier already. Happiness suited him.

- Wei Ying... Does this mean...?  -  he started, not daring to finish this sentence.

- Yes. – he nodded.  –  I promised you, and I do my best to keep all my promises, Lan Zhan. This... this is my gift to you.  -  he blushed.  -   But we do need to talk.

Lan Zhan's heart sank for a moment. He feared the next words, as if they had the power to dispel the magic that seemed to be encircling the two of them today.

- I need you to do something for me too, Lan Zhan. –  Wei Wuxian continued seriously.

The boy nodded:

- Anything.

- We need to be smart about this. You have been so reckless, I fear anyone could find out about what's going on with us any moment now. I mean, hell, even now someone could peep just through this window and see us talking, right?

Lan Zhan frowned. He was right. He had been too drunk on love.

- What do we do?  -  he bit his lip.

- We need to make sure we are alone,  Shizun.  –  Wei Ying giggled. – And then...well... you will be free to...teach me...things.... The best things...

Lan Zhan knew very well what he meant. His loved one had blushed dark red and in the bright moonlight Wei Ying's face looked even prettier that way.

-  But... are you sure about...

- I have thought about it a lot. A lot.  –  Wei Ying interrupted him. -   I don't think I could possibly be with anyone else now, Lan Zhan... I am... weirdly addicted   to you...  -   Wei Wuxian mumbled. –  It is getting so.. so... hard to be around you, and not take you there and then.... Make love to you..  -  he tried to control his breathing as his heart was pounding wildly. –  Make you mine... Take you in me...  

Wei Ying found out that he was lisping the words;  he was so drowning in desire even at this very moment.

Watching all this, listening to all this was hard for Lan Zhan  -  his  lips were parted and he was breathing heavily too. He got on top on Wei Ying yet again, and whispered with determination that was one of the hottest things about him in Wei Wuxian's eyes:

- There is no power in neither Heaven nor Hell  that can make me leave you alone tonight, leave this bed tonight, Wei Wuxian. Sex or not. Gusu Lan Clan or not.

Wei Ying only nodded, his face burning. He understood.

- So, does this mean you'll come tomorrow night too, Lan Zhan? Lan Zhan???

There came no reply but there was lots of muffled moaning and subdued laughter.

They held each other and spent most of the night kissing and promising each other the world. Lan Zhan's touch was enough to calm Wei Ying, and he fell asleep in his lover's arms. Wei Ying's sweet scent and his breath on his chest put Lan Zhan's mind at ease, and he was lulled to sleep by the rising and falling of his lover's chest, sleeping next to him. 

Truth be told, they had a perfect night's sleep, despite the small and uncomfortable Gusu bed.
