Lan Zhan stirred in the early morning light, his head still buzzing. He blinked awake, feeling a weight on his chest, and his hand rose to tangle in those beautiful silky locks.
His other hand came around and wrapped over the waist of his beloved, holding him closer.
Wei Ying shifted, snuggling closer and perhaps he heard the change in heart beats, but silver eyes sparkled open.
They smiled at each other before Wei Ying swooped in to capture his lips.
"Good morning, my love. How are you feeling today?" He asked as soon as his mouth was free.
Lan Zhan had to think about it.
"Does your head hurt?" Wei Ying asked him softly.
"Little bit."
"Then here." Wei Ying made him sit up and drink from the cup already next to him. "Healer Fei has amazing hangover cures. Plus, that's all he's been doing this morning." He giggled.
"What does Wei Ying mean?"
Wei Ying was about to get up, when strong arms held him in place.
"Don't go."
He looked up into a face with hardly any emotion...except in his golden eyes. Fear...perhaps irrational, but there just the same, and pure love.
"Alright, my love." He wrapped his arms around his neck and smiled.
Lan Zhan lay down again, not wanting to fight gravity.
"It's past five..." Wei Ying tested him.
"Don't care."
"Okay...we can stay like this." Wei Ying nestled closer.
Waves of peace drifted over them and they fell asleep again.
The next time Wei Ying woke up, it was to Lan Zhan staring lovingly at him. He blushed, and received a kiss on his nose.
He giggled.
Lan Zhan thought it was the best sound in the world.
"So...would you like to know what happened last night?" He asked, carefully.
"What did I do?" Lan Zhan's tone was wary.
"You, not so much...however Shifu might ban XiChen-Ge from ever getting inebriated again. You were just...lovely." Wei Ying kissed the side of his jaw.
They sat up gently.
Wei Ying touched the blue headband on his forehead, and then, in a moment of impulse, he leaned in to kiss it.
"Take it. It is yours." Golden eyes blazed with the truth. "It has always been yours."
"I never could stay away from it..." Wei Ying agreed.
Reverently, he traced its outline, before giving a gentle tug. Lan Zhan took it from his fingers and wrapped it around his wrist. All the while, he never looked away from the beautiful man in front of him.
He leaned in to kiss those warm lips, never able to resist. The world whispered away, fading until nothing was left except this sudden expanse of joy. Flowers bloomed in their minds and they explored as one, the gift of togetherness. His lips stole their breath, a dizzying height of depths made closer by their bond.
And then, Wei Ying had a wicked thought.
He leaned back, holding his wrist between them. The silver cloud emblem was cool against his thumping pulse. Ever so slowly, his tongue peeked out to trace the engraved pattern, licking the cold metal with his hot pink tongue.
He had mere seconds before he was tackled into the bed. Darkened amber eyes scorched him with their gaze, and Lan Zhan completely took him over.
