[[忘羡 | WangXian 3]] : Our Flesh And Bones

[13.] Preparation./Anticipation.

A couple of days went by. 

All the servants were busy with preparations for the arrival of the Young Lan Master and Miao Lu was curious and impatient to see this man who was so beloved by absolutely everyone in the household. She only knew that he was now a general in the Emperor's Army, and spent very little time at home. She dared not guess his age, as she had no idea about her Masters' ages either, and the stories of the Yiling Patriarch were of no help, as – according to them – Wei Wuxian had died and then lived again, which, of course, was impossible. 

It mattered not – she, too, was swept in everyone's excitement; it felt like it was New Year's already.

Her heart was anxious with expectations for another reason too – after that first night with Wei Qianbei no one asked her in the master bedroom again, and she dared not speak with anyone about it, apart from Bai Li, who reassured her that it will happen very soon. She feared the night, but was also impatient to be over and done with this. The thought of Hanguang-Jun naked in her bed was so arousing and so awful at the same time. She was grateful to be busy around the house, and thus - to keep her mind occupied with anything else but that.

Daily life had not changed for her Masters. Wei Wuxian was moaning daily that he could not see what all the fuss was about and blamed Bai Li for creating more chaos than order. Bai Li, on her part, replied that "her favorite boy deserved every second of it", which made Wei Wuxian sulk for two days straight, as he loved to hear that he was everyone's favorite boy. Lan Wangji was busy, as usual, but whenever he wasn't – he seemed to be moping around, lost, and deep in thought.

Wei Wuxian's birthday was approaching and everyone suspected that was the reason for Lan Sizhui's return as well. He was very much aware that everyone remembered it, and used the opportunity to blackmail people for future presents.

Now he was lying on his back on the niche counter in Lan Zhan's study, watching his broad shoulders and back as his husband worked and had totally forgotten he was there, as Wei Ying was unusually quiet. He bit his lip. His mind was undressing that back, and placing kisses, thousands of kisses, all over all the scars on the precious skin....

- Lan Zhan? Eh... do you have a present for me already? – he asked all of a sudden, knowing well that the chance to startle his husband was very close to zero, but one could dream at least.

- Hmmmm. – Lan Zhan chose not to answer as it was not urgent.

- So, is that a "yes" or a "no"? Lan Zhan?  –  he grinned.

The silence rather prompted him that this was a "no", so he pouted and jumped to his feet to lean over his husband and hinder his work better.

- Well, I am sure A-Yuan will have a present for me... - he smiled sweetly. – And Bai Li too. And Miao Lu too. Gods, even Jiang Cheng might bring me something! This will be an embarrassing situation indeed, my love, if you have forgotten my birthday! No? – he stared in Lan Zhan's face and noticed how he flinched as he mentioned Miao Lu's name.

- Her?

- Ahh, Hanguang-Jun, so you were listening after all? – he puffed. – Her, yes, why not? The girl seems to be fond of me, don't you think?

Lan Wangji blushed and looked away. That first night of theirs was still a painful memory.

- Speaking of which – when are you planning to consummate our arrangement? - Wei Wuxian asked seriously now.

- Mmmm.

- Alright, tonight it is, then. – Wei Ying smiled and started walking towards the door as if the discussion was over. It clearly wasn't over as he felt Lan Wangji grab his arm with one swift movement.

- Wei Ying...

He turned around and looked at him with reproach.

- Wei Ying... I....

They were facing each other and Lan Zhan took his hands gently, bringing them to his lips.

- I know this is important, but... My whole being rejects the idea, Wei Ying. I cannot explain it. I'm sorry.

- Lan Zhan! - Wei Wuxian rolled his eyes. – We are talking about sex here! You know? It's nice? It's supposed to be nice, fun? You remember what fun is, right? Why are you talking about it all as if I want you to go to war and torture?? – he sulked. – How much longer are you planning to put this off? And have you thought about how LuLu feels? I am sure you have noticed the way she looks at you!

Lan Zhan was surprised to hear these words – he actually barely noticed the girl.

- Ummm... how? – he said carefully as he felt Wei Ying was getting very worked up.

- Moron! She is wondering why you are rejecting her! – his husband snapped.

Now that he heard the words spoken out loud, Lan Wangji considered it and, yes, it was absolutely possible. His behavior was inexcusable, moreover – he was the one to suggest the idea in the first place. He had to take responsibility.

Wei Wuxian literally felt how Lan Zhan's body tensed, he stood still for a couple of seconds and said grimly:

- Very well then. Tonight.

- Very well, very well! - Wei Ying echoed, clapped his hands and cheered.

Lan Wangji's heart fluttered – seeing him happy was everything to him. He drew him closer and murmured:

- Will you stay... tonight? With me....?

- I will. There's nowhere else I'd rather be when you need me, husband.

Wei Ying felt his lover's warm palms slide over his waist and his back and wrap him in an embrace. Their cheeks brushed against each other as Lan Zhan sighed slightly, leaning in to kiss his neck. Wei Ying tilted his head to the side to give him space and whispered:

- Nothing can compare to your lips, my love...Just one kiss turns me on...

- Wei Ying... - Lan Zhan breathed, moving down and now kissing Wei Ying's  collarbone and his nipples over the robe, teasing. A quiet moan was his reward, and he moaned too as his lover slid his hands down, undoing his belt and now caressing his hard-on gently through the clothes too.

- Hanguang-Jun, it seems you are oh so ready for me... - his voice trailed off. –How easy it is, my love, to get you hot and bothered.... - Wei Ying smirked.

- I want you... I want you now...
