Ah love, my love {Mo Dao Zu Shi}

Brothers

Wei WuXian, Lan WangJi, Lan Qiren and Lan XiChen were about to enter the HanShi when another voice came.

"Wei WuXian, we need to talk a bit." said Jiang Cheng, a bit awkwardly.

"Huh?" Wei WuXian replied, wide eyed.

Jiang Cheng, as always, became angry, "What? You don't have time?"

Wei WuXian became a bit uncomfortable, "Not that... Just that right now..."

"Wei Ying."
A deep baritone voice, which sounded far more stable now than it had for the last few hours, called him.

"Go talk with him. I'll tell them."
"But Lan Zhan-"
"You need this."

Wei WuXian was quiet for a few seconds. Then he asked, "Will you be okay?"

Lan WangJi smiled sweetly, "Yes Airen. I will be fine. Do not worry about me."

Wei WuXian had an idea first hand of how hard it was to re-open traumatic wounds of the past.

He had opened up several times to Lan WangJi, mostly because of either nightmares he had or other circumstances. By now the Lan knew everything about his husband, even the inner most deep secrets of him.

That included his time in the Burial Mounds and his golden core transfer, as well as his extremely unstable and poor mental condition at that time.

Each and every session of him opening up those old wounds had him crying hysterically for hours and Lan WangJi coaxing and calming him down.

On such days he would cuddle with his husband all day and get extremely jittery and cautious around others in the absence of his husband.

Wei WuXian was worried about how much Lan WangJi would tell them.

Obviously he has to tell about his kidnappers and their plans.

But he will most likely conceal the tortures and his own struggles after he escaped.

Hell he wouldn't breath a word about the fact that he has tried suicide.

Multiple times, in multiple occasions.

The time after Wei WuXian's death was one such a time.

The said man shivered at the thought, his heart aching.

Even after suffering in his childhood he had to suffer in adulthood.

13 long years of heart break and mourning. He even thought that his love was rejected and even then he waited.

He waited for a miracle.

By the grace of Heavens it happened.

Fate gave them a second chance. It was as if even fate itself was so devastated with how much both of them had suffered and continued to suffer.

Wei WuXian's thoughts were interrupted by the man in purple robes.

"You coming or not?"
"Ah yes."

They walked and came under the giant magnolia tree.

The air between them was tense and awkward.

"So...how have you been?" Jiang Cheng initiated the conversation.
"Well, I suppose. As you see things have been a bit hectic."
"You don't look that well though. Are the Lans treating you right?"
"Hahaha yes they are. Just that Lan Zhan has not been in his best. So I am worried about him. That Lee Yu guy is behind him trying something funny."
"Is that old man trying to steal him from you?" Jiang Cheng teased.
"What? No! I mean yes he is trying to steal him but not in that way?" Wei WuXian puffed out his cheeks.
"So Lan WangJi isn't taking care of you nowadays?"
"Jiang Cheng he needs some stability now. I can take care of myself too you know." Wei WuXian pouted.
Jiang Cheng snorted, "I doubt that."
"Aiyaaahhh Jiang Cheng, you hurt me." Wei WuXian dramatically clutched his chest and exclaimed.
"Such a drama queen." Jiang Cheng huffed and rolled his eyes. But there was a fond smile on his lips.
