Calla Lily

Chapter 21

Ok!! so let's jump back to our lovely bunnies 

"Ohh god... we... MMNNHHMMHMMM!!!" Wei Wuxian tried to speak with the younger looking paler than snow

'We are soo dead!!' was all the two could think before their visions were blocked by two figures in bright white robes

"Lan Zhan... I can explain... I wanted to help this man who told me about a haunting... I know I should have asked for you to come with me but I wanted to do this on my own" Wei Ying said after a while letting the spell vanish

"Lan Zhan... look... come on... let's... let the two figure this out, I'll fill you in on the details," The older said dragging his husband away from the younger duo

Watching the older men leave. Wei Ying looked at the Jade left with him. On a normal day, he would have thought Lan Wangji may not even care about where he went but now, he can see the fear in the Lan's eyes. His face may not betray his emotions but his eyes tell stories never heard before

"Lan Zhan... let me explain, ok? I went without telling you and that was a mistake. I'm truly sorry for it" he said giving a small bow

"I...I... just wanted to get you something. Earlier at the market, I wanted to buy you things but I couldn't I didn't have money on me. I... I... when the man said if I got rid of the ghost, he would give me what I wanted I jumped at the chance..." the rest was muffled by a hard white-robed chest as Lan Zhan pulled Wei Ying to him

"I never care about things like that Wei Ying to me, all I need is you. You weren't there when I woke up and... I ... for a few hours I understood the pain Hanguang-Jun had when his Wei Ying left... I don't want ever to feel that Wei Ying, no matter how far or where you go promise me, we'll go together... life or death please let's be together... I can't lose you" Lan Zhan said holding the younger tighter

Wei Ying for all his life never heard anyone say such a thing for a moment lost his voice as held the other. Hearing how Lan Wangji the second young master of Gusu, the second Jade of the Lans, a young master of a prestigious family says such a thing made him feel a warmth he never felt before.

'Is this how you feel when someone loves you? Is this warmth of having love, and care... if this is true then I never want to lose it! Please let me have this one thing as my own' he thought

"Ok... I won't go anywhere without you Lan Zhan... come on let's head back" Wei Ying said gently pulling the other with him

Later once the sun reached its peak for the day the two couples left the town. Smiling the duo in black teased and played around each of their silent companions, their black and white robes twirling around one another like a human representation of Ying and Yang. As they reached close to Nie's territory a group of Wens jumped at the four,

"Well...well... now this is an odd setup? Did they think they could trick us by sending scouts dressed so similar to one another and then split when caught? Did those 'great sects' fall to such tactics? They even got a fake set of Lans!!" one of the Wens, clearly the leader mocked the men while the others laughed

"Ohhh I wouldn't do that if I were you!! And who are YOU to call Lan Zhan a FAKE!!! I'll show you fake!!" the younger man in black says as clouds of black rose around him trapping the others

"Hmmm little me... you shouldn't play alone... let's share!!! After all, this is our husband, they just mocked!!" the older in black said as they attacked the soldiers

As the duo in black attacked, their speed and agility were well showcased in contrast to the others. The two were like two black winds as they tore through the men. Eyes red as blood and robes black as the night the two men seemed as if the god of death himself rose from hell to defend their lovers. As soon as the battle began it ended with the two men in black patting and looking at the dead men on the ground
