THE GAME

Making The Right Choice (Part II)

Head of Plot(HOP): Hi everyone, it's us again. Did you miss us cause we sure missed you?

Head of Emotions (HOE): Our dear Author is not available right now (In the other room crying) so we're going to address you in her stead. If you're reading this, then you know by now that it was all a nightmare.

HOP: Pfft, did you really think we could put Wei Ying and Wangji through all that trauma? (They definitely can)

HOE: Yeah, but it was awesome knowing our plot and writing was good enough to get you to feel so many emotions at once.

HOP: Some of the twists and turns were inspired by the novel MDZS. The author apologizes for any excess pain you may have experienced, but we did warn you this would happen.

HOE: Feel free to ask questions in the comment section while we wrap things up and...Happy Reading dear WangXian Baby!!!

****************************************************************************************

Wei Ying parked the car in a safe spot. He takes a moment to revise his thoughts, a breather, a period to access if he was ready to do this. "You've got this Wei Ying." He even does a little pep talk to add steam to his motive. Wei Ying kept his whereabouts from Jiang Cheng and Yanli because he had to face this hurdle alone.

Once he steps out of the car, his Hands go into his pocket, trembling lightly. He pushes the glass door at the entrance and it glides open smoothly. Peering around the eatery, it took some time to find his seat. The person he had come to meet was busy going through a book and did not notice him come in.

'Tch! Even here he reads.' Wei Ying rolled his eyes and approached the seat at the end. Lan Wangji slowly closes the book and stands when he notices the omega approach. He expected Wei Ying to be late, hence the book to keep his mind still.

"You're early."

"You're late...never mind." Wangji averts his eyes when Wei Ying peers at him in a certain way. They both sit down, a little tense and curious, but fine. Two minutes later they are still staring at the table and fidgeting with the salt shakers.

"Sirs, may I take your orders?"

"Iced tea will be good for now," Wei Ying smiled at the woman.

"I'll have the same thing," Lan Wangji added. After the waiter leaves they go back to being silent. Wei Ying had a lot to say...They both had a lot to say but sitting face to face their words seemed to be jammed in their throats.

"I", they both uttered at once. "You first," Wangji said.

"Hm..." Wei Ying takes a deep breath, looks up directly into Lan Wangji's light-coloured eyes, and let go. "I want to know what your deal is, Lan Wangji... Why did you always try to bite me at the least provocation? I know I'm reckless and I pull pranks and make fun of you sometimes, but not once did I try to hurt you physically. So tell me why."

Lan Wangji needed a moment himself to answer that and was grateful that the iced tea came right about then because his throat suddenly felt dry. Wei Ying watched him slowly take a sip. If he didn't know any better he would say that behind that face of steel Wangji was just as nervous as he.

" I...I," The words were difficult for Lan Wangji to say but this time Wei Ying was patient. "I was not trying to hurt you...,"

"...," Wei Ying pursed his lips. The way the jade said it made it feel familiar.

"I'm sorry Wei Wuxian. You did not deserve the way I treated you and there is no excuse I can give for it. All I know is that whenever you're near me I get restless."
