JUST LIKE WEI WUXIAN - WangXiao One shot

Just like Wei Wuxian

Xiao Zhan might have acquired the role of the most powerful man in the cultivation world.
But he was clearly not like him.

Wei Wuxian, the most notorious, troublesome boy anyone would ever see, could barely be compared to the kind, good, polite Xiao Zhan, his parents raised him to be.

Wei Wuxian was known for never getting drunk even after drinking litres of alcohol. And Xiao Zhan, well he's known for never not getting drunk. He'd be pink on the face and warm in the inside just after a glass of beer.

Wei Wuxian would not think twice before saying something, let it be about anything.
Xiao Zhan would always measure his words before saying something and this behaviour of his only seemed to multiple after getting into entertainment industry.

Wei Wuxian had a tragic childhood, Xiao Zhan hadn't.

Wei Wuxian had lovely siblings, Xiao Zhan hadn't.

If there was anything similar to them, it was their love towards their soulmate.

But, even then, there was so many differences between them.

Wei Wuxian met Lan Wangji at barely sixteen and had his world shaken for a moment by his ethereal beauty and those intense gaze.

Xiao Zhan met him when he was twenty six and already an adult. He might not have fallen head over heels for that guy at the first sight but he's still amazed by him, "Wow! Is he really just twenty? How come he dances like a pro!"

And that was it. They never met after that for a year. Xiao Zhan had mostly forgotten his day at the Day Day Up camp but still remembered the curve of those lips, curious glimmer of those eyes, endless movement of those limbs and got dumbfounded once, after getting up from a dream which had that alluring face.

Wei Wuxian might have followed  Lan Wangji endlessly and disturbed him 24/7.

But in his case, Xiao Zhan was not the one who did that. It was him. Xiao Zhan could, for all his life, remember the boyish,deep voice of that twenty-one year old young man, calling him "Zhan Ge" with twinkles in his eyes.

Wei Wuxian had fallen fast and deep.
Xiao Zhan had fallen slow and steady.

Xiao Zhan fell for those phoenix eyes which were more intense than that scorching summer sun. He fell for those soft smiles which were more beautiful than the moon and all the stars.

Wei Wuxian took two lifetimes to confess his love but Xiao Zhan wasn't like him.

Shooting finished, crew packed up, luggages already sent to respective homes, Xiao Zhan found him standing near the pond which was the Cold Spring of Cloud Recesses in A-Ling. He was not dressed as Lan Wangji like Xiao Zhan had always seen him in that frame. He was in his usual clothes, a plain black tee and long shorts with his hair already devoid of the long hair wig and Lan forehead ribbon. He was not Lan Wangji anymore just as much as Xiao Zhan was not Wei Wuxian anymore. At that moment, Xiao Zhan knew that was it.

Xiao Zhan had only one lifetime, unlike Wei Wuxian. And he had to do something or he would lose him forever.

"Wang Yibo,Wo Ai Ni!", the moment this words left his mouth, Xiao Zhan felt like being born again at the expression he saw on his face.

Xiao Zhan was not a fool. He knew how he'd look at him, how his eyes would stare at him for a moment longer before averting, how his eyes would soften just a little at his smile, how much he meant "Zhan Ge,Didi ai ni!".

At the first drop of tear from his eyes and the way his body fit perfectly to Xiao Zhan's, Xiao Zhan knew he was right.
"Gege, you love me?", in response to that, Xiao Zhan held him as tight as possible, as if he wanted to crush them together till they were never apart and yeah, Xiao Zhan did want to, oh,how much he wanted to.

If there was another thing similar about them, it was their unwavering loyalty towards their partner. Wei Wuxian could withstand anyone insulting him but he'd never ever stand and watch if anybody, even if it's his own brother, speak a single word badly about Lan Wangji.
And Xiao Zhan was the same.

When the whole country bashed him for something he never did, when the people who once befriended him wanted to use the chance to step over him, when his own fans ditched him, when his own company didn't help him even a bit, when everybody told that he too would have to leave an announcement supporting him, when he himself was willing to do that, Xiao Zhan with his eyes - dark, his voice - more furious than anyone had ever heard, declared, "If they want to bash me, tarnish my career, they can do so. I'll raise up again. But, no one, absolutely no one, touches Yibo. Hewill not be dragged into this mess. Is that clear?"

Wei Wuxian loved Lan Wangji, more than anything and anyone. That much was clear when he woke up after thirteen years of being dead and memory void of most of the things from his previous life, played their song and thought about those pale blue, mourning clothes draped over an elegant figure and murmured, "Lan Zhan", into the quiet of night.
But, he still had it in him to leave Lan Wangji at number of circumstances. Xiao Zhan was not like him in that.

The sky would fall before something like Xiao Zhan leaving him would happen.

After years of being blissfully in a committed relationship, Xiao Zhan thought, brushing back a lone strand of hair from his eyes, he and Wei Wuxian  had one more thing in common.
And that is, they both were loved the same by their partner.

Lan Wangji and Wang Yibo might not be an expert in expressing their love through words but no one could ever love another person like them.

Those endless gazes, those tender smiles, those warm hugs, those sweet kisses and those infinite amount of devotion.

Wei Wuxian was loved by Lan Wangji.

And Xiao Zhan was, is  and will always be loved by Wang Yibo endlessly and unconditionally.
