an: hey...heyyy, so im back temporarily because i got the sudden urge to write lol
also gan ning is very ooc :)the alliance between wu and wei would be only temporary, everyone here knows it. once guan yu is slain, the two kingdoms will be at each other's throats again.
still, i cant deny that this is an impressive banquet. i sip the bittersweet wine gingerly as wang yi goes on about ma chao again. i swear if i didn't know that he killed her entire family i would guess she's in love with him. i pretend to listen to her ramble in our secluded corner away from the mingling officers. i observe the better known wu officers that i've only seen in a fight.
there was lu xun and zhu ran who were semi-arguing on fire attacks probably. daqiao and xiaoqiao were giggling like school girls about god knows what. huang gai and han dang were doing...whatever old people who don't know the word 'retirement' would do. lianshi and sun quan were being lovey dovey, making me sick in the process.
i excuse myself from wang yi's rambling, she just continues on while i walk away. i find zhang liao by himself and decide to try and strike up some conversation.
"master zhang liao, why are you alone? do you not enjoy banquets?" i inquire sitting next to him.
"lady y/n, it is not that i do not enjoy such things...i am not as skilled in socializing as in battle." he smiles as his words tug at my heart.
"well, it wouldn't hurt if you stuck with me for a while. i'm sure that wu wouldn't mind getting to know you a little more." i grin at him as we continue to engage in small talk, that is until a few wu officers decide to interrupt.
"hey, you're zhang liao! you're one tough bastard from what i've seen." we both look up to find a shirtless man full of tattoos smirking at zhang liao. i avert my eyes out of respect, i can't understand how he's not cold without proper clothes on!
"ah, you must be gan ning." zhang liao replies as gan ning laughes, his bells jingling as he does so. i continue to look somewhere else as his bells make sweet tunes.
"oh my apologies, this is lady l/n y/n. she is an officer of wei." i perk up at the sound of my name and turn to zhang liao.
"nice to meet ya, y/n!" gan ning smiles sweetly as i flush. so informal...
"it's nice to meet you properly master gan ning." i speak with respect, he just laughed off the title.
"just call me gan ning, no need to be so formal!" i nodded as all three of us talked about anything and everything. when gan ning heard that zhang liao also used to be a pirate, that's all they would talk about. that led me to excuse myself and find someone else to talk to.
ling tong was the next person i had decided to talk to, we actually had a lot more in common. we were lazy, loved taking naps, and were best friends with powerful ex-pirates. ling tong made some sort of joke that had me burst out laughing, which made him chuckle too.
"i'm sorry, that wasn't very ladylike of me." i say in between muffled laughter.
"no, i don't mind. it gives me confidence to know my jokes are as entertaining as they are for a woman such as yourself." it made me blush a little, but i paid the comment no mind. all of a sudden, i felt a muscular arm hang over my neck. i turn and see gan ning nuzzling into my neck, uh hello?
"oh my god, who let him drink this much?!" ling tong sighed as gan ning just hung himself on me.
"he's...heavy." i say as i struggle to hold him up.
"ugh, i'll take him back to his tent." ling tong rolls his eyes and tries to take gan ning off of me.
"no, she's staying."
"ning, you need to go to bed."
"she's staying!"
"get off of her!"
"NO!"
they start pulling each of my arms to drag me with them, i swear they almost pulled them out of my sockets.
"enough! you two are causing an unnecessary scene." i turn to gan ning, "you, go to bed! i'll walk you there go make sure you don't fall on your ass on the way their." i turn back to ling tong and sigh, "i'll be back in a bit."
i let gan ning guide me outside to his tent, it's cold without the fire and i shiver at the temperature drop.
"this way.." gan ning brings me towards the wu side of camp. he would mumble meaningless things, like any drunk would. you would think that he would be a destructive drunk, but he was actually being pretty sweet. he would nuzzle into me as if i was the warmest blanket on the planet. it was kind of sweet.
once we reached his tent, he immediately stripped into his bedclothes and tried to get into bed. i went to grab a cup of water for him to drink so he wouldn't get as big of a hangover. grabbing a wet cloth, i dunk it in water and wring it out. gan ning i'd adjusting in bed as i come by.
"here drink this, it'll help with your hangover." i smile and he sits up to drink. laying back down, i put the wet cloth in his forehead.
"how come..you're so good at taking care of drunksss..?" he asks as he slurs his words. i laugh and i unknowingly stroke his hair.
"my father was always a sleazy drunk, but i loved him as any daughter would love her father. he would constantly come home reeking of alcohol. i would stay with him all night with a bucket in case he drunk too much, which was very often. i just...wanted to help him if that makes sense." i continue to stroke gan ming's hair out of comfort as he closes his eyes in total bliss.
"will you stay..with me tonight?" he asks in the sweetest tone i've ever heard. how can i say no?
"of course, gan ning." with that he grabs me by the arm and cuddles me. i cant help but laugh at his childish acts, i would have never guessed the gan ning would be so affectionate.
even though i promised ling tong i would come back, it wouldn't hurt to just lay here a while, right?
