The Dating Game Part 3

Sundays were for relaxing too, and since everyone had had a long night filled with exciting car chases and police interrogations, the four friends had decided to meet closer to lunch time, a little later so that they could catch up on their sleep.

There was a lovely little restaurant that specialised in light meals and finger foods that they all loved, and Huaisang had suggested they make their way there by midday.

Lan WangJi was the sort of person who had to go to sleep at a certain time, and wake up at a certain time and if his sleep cycle was disturbed for any reason, he could not simply stay in bed.

The reason for this was unclear even to himself and he wished it wasn't so, and  unfortunately because it was, he found himself sitting on their couch trying to meditate when his body wanted to sleep.

He gave up and let his head rest against the back edge of the sofa and fell asleep anyway. Sometime later he felt a warmth against his legs and then a weight on his knees.

It was Wei Ying, who had come and sat down next to him, resting his head on Lan Zhan’s knees.

His fingers automatically began combing through soft silky hair and he heard a sigh before he fell asleep again.

A few hours later, he woke up definitely more horizontal than he remembered. Plus the warmth and the weight was mostly on his chest now, and he felt incredibly comfortable. As sleep disappeared and his fingers resumed their previous task, he realised that Wei Ying was actually lying on top of him...and that he was in fact, very well rested.

So was Wei Ying because he was awake.

"It feels so good when you do that, Lan Zhan." Wei Ying whispered softly.

"Mn."

Lan WangJi felt him shiver and he pulled Wei Ying’s blanket from their bodies, tucking it over Wei Ying’s shoulders firmly in case he was cold.

There was a peacefulness to this morning that hadn't been there last night, sipping hot chocolate and staring into each other's eyes.

Today was without pretence, just a casual, easy existing. Listening to their breathing, and finding it uncomplicated, just lying here together. Lan WangJi did not allow himself to question how or why they were both laying down there, basking in this quiet tranquility. The serenity of the morning drifted over their hearts and minds, healing them in ways they didn't know they needed.

"How is Wei Ying feeling this morning?" Lan WangJi asked after a while.

Even speaking seemed to disturb this quiet bubble of untroubled paradise.

"I'm okay, I guess." He sighed softly. "The whole afternoon...no, actually the whole day yesterday felt surreal. Maybe it's me...but I refuse to believe that."

"What do you mean?" Lan WangJi asked. He kept his voice low and unhurried.

"Well, a part of me wants me to believe that I'm inadvertently attracting weirdos, people who I would never actually have a relationship with, you know what I mean? Like my subconscious is trying to sabotage my love life. But there's no way I would do something like that...so I think it's like learning to drive." He snuggled closer, adjusting his hold over Lan Zhan's body.

"Driving?" Lan WangJi asked. He must have sounded as lost as he felt, because Wei Ying giggled.

"Yeah, think back to the first time you got behind the wheel."

Lan WangJi did.

"Mn." He prompted.

"So no one drives perfectly straight away, right? Sometimes there are bumps in the road, or signs you don't understand etc, etc, etc. My point is, after a while, you get better at it. With practice."
