Lan Zhan waited for Wei Ying to speak.
Up until now, he had been looking at his own hands and wondering why it was taking him so long to say something...anything...
But his head snapped up at the sniffling.
Big fat teardrops were falling from beautiful silver eyes, like crystals raining down.
Lan Zhan couldn't take that at all.
He quickly gathered up the emotional man and held him close, listening to the synchronised beating of their hearts.
"I'm sorry...I...was sure..." But had he been? Really sure that Wei Ying was going to say yes?
The damp patch on his shoulder only increased in size and now, Lan Zhan was even more worried.
Why hadn't he said anything?
He began to hum softly, the tune that he had wanted to play for Wei Ying ever since he had composed it.
Slowly Wei Ying calmed himself down. The hand stroking his hair helped so much, soothing his tired mind. Of all the ways this day could have begun, he was pretty sure being proposed to was nowhere near the top of the list.
"Does Wei Ying not want to be?" The question was asked fearfully.
Did Wei Ying want to get married? Had he ever thought about it?
Sure, in the long hot summer evenings when a smile in the right direction could get him sweet loquats for free...but anything other than that just wasn't on the horizon...
And he knew Lan Zhan loved him, as he loved Lan Zhan...but there was a worry in his mind.
"It's not that I don't want to get married." He started off saying.
"So Wei Ying doesn't wish to marry me?"
There was so much hurt resting inside those difficult words, that Wei Ying immediately stopped leaning on Lan Zhan. He saw those wet golden eyes and knew he had made a terrible mistake.
"No...no, that's not at all what I meant! Please, Lan Zhan...please, will you hear me out?" His thumb wiped away those extra tears threatening his own happiness, because how could he be happy if Lan Zhan was not?
He leaned forward and kissed Lan Zhan’s forehead and then, not content with that, he kissed those hot dusky eyelids, one at a time, followed by kisses on either cheek.
"Lan Zhan my love, you will have to be very patient with me. Is that okay?"
"Mn. Anything for Wei Ying."
Wei Ying stared, mesmerised by the flashing in those golden eyes, of determination and love, so strong and pure, it was humbling.
"I can wait until Wei Ying is ready." He added, this time earnestly.
Now that he was sure Wei Ying had not intended to hurt him at all, that it had been accidentally, it made this so much easier.
A patience he didn't know he had, grew within the deepest recesses of his mind, letting him be calm.
"Can you hold me?" Wei Ying asked, looking up at him through thick lashes.
"Mn. Wei Ying never has to ask. My arms are ever open for him." Lan Zhan wrapped them around Wei Ying's slim body, thinking when he could start feeding him properly.
Wei Ying settled closer, already feeling so much better.
Lan Zhan’s wonderful fingers were doing their magic, relaxing his body so he could think.
