Perseverance (Wangxian)

Chapter 40 - Happiness

Lan Zhan sat in The Jingshi hugging Wei Ying close to his chest cuddling on the bed during mid to late afternoon. Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian have two days before their official wedding ceremony. Wei Ying had just been fully accepted into GusuLan. He felt happy to have someone like Lan Zhan beside him, but he still had his demons to get past.

At the moment, however, Wei Wuxian was a little playful that day and crawled on top of Lan Wangji. He shoved his face into the crook of Lan Wangji's neck, and kissed him. He nibbled and kissed, licked and sucked only to leave behind a love mark. Lan Wangji was enjoying the moment, until he decided to flip them over and now he was on top of Wei Wuxian.

"Lan Zhan, when did you learn to accept me?" Wei Ying asked.

Lan Wangji planted a kiss on Wei Wuxian's neck before lifting his head and spoke, "I accepted you the day I met you. I worried about you for the resentment would harm you. I realized at one point just to have you by me was good enough, no matter the path. After knowing the truth, my acceptance of you just grew more and more. So, as I said, I accepted you a long time ago."

"Are you sure you are okay with me?" Wei Wuxian asked as he was having doubts, "I'm just afraid that one day I'll wake up and it's all a dream. None of this actually happened and you want nothing to do with me.

Lan Wangji kissed him on the lips and spoke. As he spoke, he said one word, then planted a kiss on Wei Wuxian's face, then would say another.

"Wei Ying," he began and kisses his forehead.

"You."

He kisses his left cheek

"Are."

Then kisses his right cheek.

"My."

He then moved to kiss his nose.

"Everything."

Lastly, Lan Wangji kisses him on the lips, and then said to him, "I want you to know, I will never have doubts for you. I understand that you may be scared and nervous but I promise you. I will never, hurt you like anyone else ever has. I will only spoil you with all my heart for forever and a day."

Lan Wangji leaned down again and just barely brushed his lips against Wei Wuxian's temple. His lips light against his skin caused a chill to run down Wei Wuxian's back. Lan Wangji slowly moved his lips down to trace Wei Wuxian's defined cheekbone. Lan Wangji gently dragged his lips across his soulmate's face, slowly gliding down the bridge of his nose. Lan Wangji parted his lips when he reached the tip of Wei Wuxian's nose and left a light butterfly kiss.

Wei Wuxian scrunched his nose and giggled as he was feeling good to be smothered like this. Lan Wangji had a way of making Wei Wuxian's heart want to fly out of his chest. The way Lan Wangji made him feel was something no other person has. He makes Wei Wuxian feel wanted and accepted. Being abandoned by so many people in the past it was always hard for him to trust anyone ever again. Luckily, his heart found Lan Wangji, and he loved him and trusted him like no other person on the planet.

Wei Wuxian felt himself start to cry tears of happiness. Feeling so loved like this, he never wants it go away. Noticing the tears, Lan Wangji pulled away from planting kisses all over Wei Wuxian's face and looked into his eyes.

"What is it?" Lan Wangji asked.

"Ugh, I'm such a sap," Wei Wuxian said wiping the tears away, "I was just thinking about how happy you make me feel and how I have someone left who still wants me around."

Lan Wangji rubbed his nose against his and spoke, "I am happy that you are happy. I will always want my Wei Ying."

Lan Wangji pulled his head back only to see Wei Wuxian blink away his tears before reaching behind Lan Wangji's head and pull him down to meet his lips. The kiss was fiery, warm, and passionate with only a small amount of gentleness. Lan Wangji brushed his tongue across Wei Wuxian's bottom lip. Heat spreads through them, igniting the fire inside their hearts.

Their hearts beat rapidly, and a rushing sound to the ears. The two molded together perfectly. Exploring each other's taste. Lan Wangji pushed aside Wei Wuxian's robes exposing his shoulder, grazing his lips along the collarbone and planted his lips at the shoulder. So soft, and tender, as a warm sensation ran through Wei Wuxian's body. From his collarbone, Lan Wangji moved his lips back up to Wei Wuxian's mouth, and gave him one long passionate kiss before pulled away.

"Mmm, why stop?" Wei Wuxian asked as he pouted.

"We are marrying in two days, I think maybe we could hold off until then," Lan Wangji told him, "imagine how fun it would be after not doing it for two days."

"Fine, but I don't like it," Wei Wuxian continued to pout.

Lan Wangji chuckled and kissed Wei Wuxian's bottom lip that stuck out from his pouting, "look at you pouting like a child."

"XianXian is three," Wei Wuxian played.

Lan Wangji laughed and placed his head into Wei Wuxian's neck for a moment trying to recollect himself from hearing that.

"Three huh?" Lan Wangji asked sitting up, "why three?"

"Because I am," Wei Wuxian sat up and wrapped his arms around Lan Wangji's neck, "it's actually been a slight joke I would play on my Shijie. Turns out, it gets you as well."

Lan Wangji laughed again, "I love this playful side of you," he told him, "don't ever forget that."

"I will not forget," Wei Wuxian said, "if you like playfully XianXian, then I can be playful XianXian."

Lan Wangji pecked a kiss on the man's lips, "I love you, Wei Ying," Lan Wangji said resting his forehead to Wei Wuxian's.

"I love you too, Lan Zhan."
