The Untamed Oneshots

Not You

*In Korean, when you give someone your nametag, you want to date that person. 
*Hyung means older brother, by blood or not (gege if in Chinese)

Lan Wangji was just walking down the corridor when his friend Wei Wuxian came to him, "Lan Zhan Hyung!" Lan Wangji turns back and saw Wei Wuxian smiling brightly while panting, "How many times do I have to tell you not to run fast, you'll fall down" 

He seemed to look around, then he pulled me to an empty classroom, "Hyung..." I am getting a weird feeling about this. He suddenly took off his nametag, "Date me Hyung" He bows his head while his face blushed. 

I took the nametag from his hand, "Wei Ying... You know I like your sister right..." Wei Wuxian's face turns sour, "We look exactly the same! Why her?!" 

3rd person POV

"Because she's a girl, and I'm not gay" those words... Broke his heart completely, with a shivering voice and tears dripping from his face, he mustered up the courage to say the words, "So... You came to me, in order to get closer to her?" His voice was as broken as his heart. 

"No... I got close to you because you're you, but I fell for your sister and not you" Lan Zhan's voice was still as usual calm. But does his heart scream the same? Before he can say more the other had already ran out of the empty room and was greeted by the loud noises of other students. 

Some students entered the room and found Wang Yibo there too. "Lan sunbae! What happened to Wei sunbae??" Asked one of the curious girls. 

Wei Ying ran without knowing directions, he just ran straight until he needed to breathe, his lungs were craving oxygen. "Fuck this life, fuck that Lan Wangji" I broke down again. 

Lan Zhan was unfocused in class, the way Wei Ying just ran away, it just felt so familiar...

LWJ POV

The way his hands left mine, why am I having a feeling of deja vu? It's like those hands also once slept away from mine like sand. Why? I didn't pay attention in class and my mind was on him all the time...  

I absentmindedly entered the detention room. TF, I just can't think straight, what's with my mind? TO hell with detention! I slammed my pen on the table with my palms and slammed the detention room door shut. Pairs of eyes were staring at me but I was looking for someone's special gaze. 

Warm and sweet. soft and calm. Wei Ying... Where are you?? 

I ran amidst the rain, I just can't find him, where is he? Where do I usually see him? Where?! Panicking, I ran without knowing where my feet would take me. Why? Why'd I realize things a bit late? Why did I only know this when I already broke his heart? 

My mind began taking me back to the times we were together. Playing at the arcade, playing games at his house, watching soccer with him, playing basketball. I remember all of those vividly. 

I slowed on running as I felt my knees feeling weak, the face he had back then, it's so fragile, he's not so good at lying. Even I can easily tell that he's gonna break down. And I. Lan Wangji, is the cause. 

Did I really like his sister, Yanli? Or was that just a reason to deny my sexuality? Wei Ying, which is it? I looked up, trying to locate myself.  I didn't even realize that I reached the garden where I first met him, and there he is, on the same spot where I found him. Even though the heavy rain was blocking my vision, I can see him, his brown hair now black because of the rain, his slender figure, I ran towards him, I got closer and was about to hold him when he exclaimed. "I don't need your pity. If it's my sister that you like then I give you my blessings. Just. Just leave me be. Please." 

I broke him this much, I can't fix the part of him I broke, but I can fill it with mine, right? "Wei Ying, I..." Before I could proceed he looks up and the scene only made me more speechless, "Lan Wangji I'm tired!" Even if the rain was pouring on us, I can see his tears, I can identify them from the raindrops on his face. 

WWX POV 

"I've been chasing you all this time, you never saw that!" You never appreciated it, "Lan Wangji let's end it here." I'm so tired of all the trouble I went through, I'm giving up on you. "Sorry, I don't want to see your face anymore." 

If you didn't like me back, why do you have to make that face, yeah it's just that plain stoic cold face of yours, but I know, behind it there's something intense going on in your mind. This is all I can do to hurt myself less, to distance myself. I'm never a fake person, I can't pretend to be happy, and I can't bear the sight of you with my sister. Just imagining it sucks, much more seeing it with my own eyes. 

"Thank you for the past 7 months Lan Wangji." I said as I walked away leaving him there. 

One step, that was a bit heavy, another step, I can do this, Third step, my vision is slowly fading, fourth, I can feel my knees weaken, fifth. I... 

The darkness engulfed me, I cannot hear or see anything. I shouldn't have stayed in the rain for long. F*ck it. 

LWJ POV 

Before I can get out from my own thoughts, I can hear a thump on the ground, following the direction of the voice, I see him there, "Wei Ying" I hurriedly picked him by my arms, why is he so cold? I hurriedly ran towards the infirmary. "Nurse! Nurse!" Goodness gracious there aren't any nurses here, must be on lunch break. I dialed 112 (Korea's emergency number) "I'm at The Untamed High, Infirmary on the West Building second floor. My friend, no my boyfriend collapsed, please come. NOW!" 

After I hung up the call, I took a towel and dried him, then I turned the heater, maybe this can warm him. Please Wei Ying, I cannot lose you, not when you're misunderstanding me. Please. God, help him.
