Fluffy WangXian Oneshots

The Dating Game Part 2

Saturday morning arrived with a headache.

It was the text from Huaisang that did it.

Did you plant the bug yet? Wei WuXian was chatting with Jiang Cheng last night, and apparently he's going on another date tonight. Remember to put the bug in a safe place, somewhere it doesn't fall off.

Lan WangJi had woken up earlier than his alarm of five am.

His sleep had been disturbing anyway, with the feeling that he had been chasing after something...or someone.

It didn’t take a genius to guess who.

Now he had to think about where to plant the bug. The listening device was small and inconspicuous but Lan Zhan had to make sure it was somewhere safe on Wei Ying's person. If he attached it to Wei Ying's clothes...that could be awkward to begin with, and what if Wei Ying accidentally threw it into their washing machine? That would be a big problem and he didn't relish having to tell Huaisang that it got washed by mistake.

So not on his body per say...what about his watch? Could Lan WangJi be sly enough to fix that bug on the back of his watch or the watchstrap? How would he know which watch Wei Ying was going to wear on the date?

And then like the rising sun in a cloudless sky, Lan WangJi had the most brilliant idea.

Wei Ying had only one phone. What if he was to put it on the back of his phone in between the phone case and the phone? The bug was so small anyway, it was highly unlikely that Wei Ying would notice it...

It seemed like a foolproof plan...now they had to see which one of them was the fool...

Saturdays were for brunch rather than a proper breakfast, because Wei WuXian really could not rise earlier than ten if he made an effort, and midday if Lan Zhan was lucky.

So Lan WangJi pottered about their apartment doing all the little necessary jobs in order to maintain a functioning household: he hoovered, wiped the dust off the surfaces, mopped the kitchen floor and prepped for what he would cook when Wei Ying went into the shower. He even made a quick trip to the grocery store.

The light bulb currently zapping on and off above his head, beamed brightly all of a sudden, because he knew for a fact that Wei Ying did not take his phone into the bathroom.

And that presented the perfect opportunity.

So he hummed to himself, feeling not entirely useless today.

He could cope. He would accomplish his part of the deal and earn his place with his friends in trying to make sure Wei Ying was safe.

Last night Wei Ying had seemed so adamant that he was going on another date as soon as possible, that once again Lan WangJi was knocked for six.

First he had been joyful that Wei Ying’s date had been a fail. He was simultaneously upset on Wei Ying's behalf, because how could anyone turn up that late, and in that state, and not bring anything for this beautiful man as a gift? Lan WangJi could name five things already that Wei Ying would have enjoyed and placed himself as a number one candidate for the position of having the honour of being Wei Ying’s date.

In his head only.

And another part of him while happy that the date had been a disaster, was not wishing to restrict Wei Ying in any way.

He still had to get used to the feelings that crashed into his chest whenever Wei Ying walked past...if he made any sort of move towards a relationship now, he was scared Wei Ying would find him creepy...
