"L-Lan Zhan...Lan Zhan..." Wei Wuxian was talking very quietly in his sleep. Lan Wangji was asleep but woke up as he felt Wuxian feeling uneasy beside him, "don't go...Lan Zhan...don't leave me alone..." he continued to whisper in his sleep.

"Wei Ying," Wangji said softly to try and wake him.

"Please don't go," Wuxian said a bit louder.

"Wei Ying, I am right here," Wangji said as he placed his hand on Wuxian's face and lightly stroked his cheek with his thumb, "wake up, Love. You are dreaming, I am here."

Wei Wuxian gasped and his eyes shot open, "Lan Zhan!" He said loudly.

"Hey, I am here, I'm right here," he kept reassuring Wuxian.

Wuxian finally managed to look at him, "I...you...I am..I don't—"

"You don't have to say anything right now, just try to calm down," Wangji told him, "I am not going anywhere."

"You will leave," Wuxian said as tears begin to fall, "everyone says they won't leave me but they lie. They always leave. You are going back and I can't go back. I won't go back, not now."

"Hey, I won't leave you, I promise you, I am here with you and I will stay here with you until you are ready to go home. I don't care how long it takes," Wangji told him.

"I won't go back. I will be alone there. I don't feel alone here, but when I think of our old lives, and our timeline, I feel alone. I feel like I will just be left alone and all people do is leave," Wuxian said.

"I won't leave you," Wangji said, "if I have to tell you that ten times a day, I will. I will not leave you. I am here with you and I will always be here with you. You are my everything, Wei Ying and all I want is for you to be happy and healthy."

"Lan Zhan...I'm sorry," he said, "I don't want to keep everyone else here because of me, I don't what that."

"I know that," Wangji said, "I told those who wish to go back, I can talk to you about making the talisman for them and they can leave. We can stay as long as you want. Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan have already said we can stay as long as we want."

"Does everyone else want to leave?" Wuxian asked.

"Just my brother, and I told him he can go back if he wants to," Wangji said.

Wei Wuxian took a closer look at Wangji now that he was more awake, "where is your forehead ribbon?" He asked.

"I gave it to Xiongzhang. I told him I am leaving the clan. Being away from the clan for so long has me wanting to keep it that way. You and I can live wherever we want. We can marry privately, and elope. We can do whatever you like," Wangji said.

"Are you going to be okay with this? Are you okay being removed from your clan? You grew up there and your Shufu has thrown so much books at you to make you a perfect disciple," Wuxian told him.

Wangji smiled, "he can keep trying to throw books then because I am going to be rebellious for one and tell him he can go swallow his books, I don't want them."

Wuxian couldn't help but giggled, "You know how angry he will be? I can see the Qi Deviation happening already."

"I know," Wangji said, "it will be interesting won't it."

Wuxian nodded and sighed. He looked into Wangji's eyes. Wangji didn't have to be asked or told, he could tell just by looking at Wuxian as to what he wanted. Wangji smiled and kissed him. Wei Wuxian placed his hands on Wangji's chest and slowly slid them up and around his neck. Lan Wangji rolled them and he was soon on top of him.

They were not going to do anything right now but they were really just in the moment. Wangji poured every single bit of love into this one kiss. Wuxian melted and his lips followed Wangji's. Wuxian let out a soft moan to let him know that he was content. Wangji lightly bit down on Wuxian's lip which caused him to open his mouth slightly. It was enough for Wangji to slip his tongue inside.

As they kissed, their spiritual energy was flowing through them both, exchanging to one another. Wuxian could feel the soothing aura that came from Wangji just as Wangji could feel the warm and chaotic aura of Wuxian's. It was within that moment, they were lost in their own little world. They felt their cores getting warm and spinning rapidly in their solar plexus. Red and blue light engulfed the room and the two took in every inch of energy around them and within them.

They began to feel their bodies change. Change in relations to their spiritual energy. Change in relations to their cultivation. Wangji felt the warmth of his core slowly growing and flowed through his veins. He began to understand what was happening. They were basically evolving from cultivation to immortality.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian loved and trusted each other so much that their bond merged into one. They created a soul link between each other and in doing so, they were immortal. They bonded together through exchanging spiritual energy. Normally this kind of thing happens through more exotic intimacy but to them, it was just from a simple kiss. A kiss that proved that they needed each other to move forward.

"Do you understand what just happened to us?" Wangji asked him as he pulled away from kissing him.

"I think so," Wuxian said.

"We became soul bonds just through kissing. It proves that I will not leave you and you will not leave me. As one cannot live without the other. One dies, the other follows. We care connected now, Wei Ying, and I promise you, I will protect you," Wangji assured him.

"Lan Zhan," Wuxian said quietly, "I love you so much."

"I love you too, Wei Ying, and do not ever forget that," Wangji told him.

"I will not," he said.

Wangji smiled and went back to kissing him. The two didn't know how long they were lost in each other's arms but they didn't really care. All they wanted was time for themselves. Wangji wanted to help Wuxian heal from his trauma, and he will spend the rest of his eternity to do that. He didn't care if he had to scold and yell at his brother or uncle again, he will for Wei Wuxian's sake.
