Secret & Lies (the forsaken #1) [WangXian FF]

19

As soon as they entered and closed the door to Lan Wangji's office, Wei Wuxian found himself being kabedon-ed against the wall with such a force that made him wince and one of Lan Wangji's hands circled his neck tight enough to make him feel the pressure, the other one against the wall beside his head.

"What" Lan Wangji moved until his face was inches away from his neck, "are you?"

Wei Wuxian was so surprised with Lan Wangji's behaviour. He tried to push him away, but it was like pushing a wall, a hard wall. If Lan Wangji wanted, he could easily snap his neck just by twisting his hand, so he changed tactic.

"Are you… sniffing me?"

Instead of answering, Lan Wangji pulled his head and looked into Wei Wuxian's face.

The moment their eyes met, Wei Wuxian suddenly understood what fear is.

That close of a distance, Wei Wuxian could see that Lan Wangji's extraordinary beautiful golden eyes was almost glowing, but that was not what made him scared.

Instead of ordinary round, black pupil, Lan Wangji's ones were vertical slits, like those of reptiles'.

"What do you mean what am I? I'm a fucking human for chris sake, didn't you investigate me? Quite thoroughly if I may say." Wei Wuxian tried to calm himself down. "The better question was, what are you?" He poked Lan Wangji's chest. He tried really hard not to show Lan Wangji that he was actually scared for the first time in his life.

It looked like his false bravado was actually working because Lan Wangji seemed to snap out of his … whatever it was, and Wei Wuxian saw his eyes were back to normal, human ones. 

Lan Wangji cleared his throat but did not move his hands nor his face away.

"Did you keep the Phoenix Blood amulet on you? Right now?"

Instead of answering, which might give himself up, he took the amulet; which he fashioned into a necklace; out of his shirt and showed it to Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji looked at the amulet, then back to Wei Wuxian's eyes, which now seemed to be deeper in silver color until it almost grey, a sign of distress.

"You… didn't feel sick? Any burning sensation?"

"What's with you people? First Qing, now you, isn't this just an ordinary red stone amulet? You son gave it to me, remember? He wouldn't do that if he knew it would hurt me."

"And what makes you know my son more than I do?"

"Well, for one, he is your son, Lan Wangji, and I know you." He poked Lan Wangji's chest again. "Although you seem like an asshole sometimes, well, most of the time, I know you are a good man, who loves his kids, and even protected a stranger from a vicious bomb. So, your son couldn't be worse than you, no?"

Lan Wangji was quiet, the only sign that he was a living being was the movement of his golden eyes, as if searching the truth from Wei Wuxian's silver ones.

"You know, your eyes look so much like Xiao Hei's." Lan Wangji's hand, the one that previously choked his neck, was now caressing his cheek softly. Wei Wuxian unconsciously closed his eyes, and leaned his head to that hand, to chase the warmth emitted from it. 

When he opened it again, he saw that Lan Wangji was looking at his lips.

He swallowed once, twice and looked at Lan Wangji's suddenly clouded eyes. The latter was moving closer and closer until Wei Wuxian could feel his lips just a breath away from his, when he abruptly moved back.

Wei Wuxian almost fell down from the sudden lost of the support, and bumped into Lan Wangji's chest, and they fell together on the floor with Wei Wuxian practically on top of Lan Wangji.

"Why, Wei Ying, I know this is the time of the month when I supposed to fulfill my… husbandly duty, but aren't you a little eager now?" Lan Wangji smirked and caressed Wei Wuxian's spine from the back of his neck until it landed on his butt. Then he squeezed.

Wei Wuxian gasped, then he poked Lan Wangji's chest.

"Why, Lan Zhan, I don't know that you're this weak, you can't even hold your ground when someone fell down on you." He mocked Lan Wangji and gasped again when Lan Wangji suddenly turned their position around so that he was now on his back.

"Have you ever think that, I become this weak, only when I'm with you?"

And before Wei Wuxian could comprehend the meaning behind Lan Wangji's words, their mouths already fused together and Wei Wuxian's mind went blank.

Lan Wangji did not understand what makes him like this. It was like everytime he saw Wei Wuxian, he felt some kind of low vibrating hum inside his gut. It made him very uncomfortable, and he tried to shun the feeling, yet he couldn't wait until the next time he saw him again. It was like a circle of hell.

And not to mention his smell.

Wei Wuxian emitted some kind of smell, stronger than aphrodisiac, which made Lan Wangji lost his mind everytime he was in the same vicinity of Wei Wuxian.

And the eyes.

How could two person, as different as the sun and the moon, both had the same eyes? And he bet when he could find Wei Wuxian's childhood photos, he would look exactly just like Xiao Hei.

What's the meaning of this all?

He suspected that this was all connected to the massacre of Xiao Hei's family, where he found him with only a breath left, all broken and bloodied.

He needed to find out who exactly was Wei Wuxian.

But now, he would enjoy him.
