For my abandoned justice

Chapter 9

                   Morning came way too soon for Wei Wuxian's liking. He was so bundled so warm and comfortable that all he wanted to do was stay asleep. There were fingers from somewhere running through his hair. A-Hua sometimes did that whenever he got bored enough to sleep. His leg was locking the warm pillow beneath him in place. There was no sunlight at the moment....so why couldn't he go back to sleep? "Wei Ying time to get up." Right...His pillow was trying to wake him up. It probably wanted to be free of his death grip. "Nooooo, shhhh. Be a good pillow and let me sleep." Silence reigned for a second before a huff of air was heard. His pillow was vibrating beneath him. 

                   Pouting he pushed his face further into his firm pillow. "Stooooop! How can I sleep if my pillow is moving like this? Bad Pillow!" Another small huff "Wei Ying it's Lan Zhan, not your pillow. Wake up we have work to do." Wei Wuxian groaned rubbing his face on Lan Wangji's chest before freezing. The words finally registered in his sluggish brain. He opened his eyes with trepidation. A violent blush covered his face as he realized he was pinning Lan Wangji on the bed. It was like he became some sort of Hanguang-Jun hugging koala overnight. He jumped to his feet and rushed to the bathroom to get ready for the day needing a few minutes to calm down. By the time he left, Lan Wangji was still in his room so Wei Wuxian rushed out the door hoping to avoid further embarrassment.

               The next few days were much more relaxed than Wei Wuxian was used to. His father-in-law taught him the intricate details of their barrier. This allowed Wei Wuxian to come up with something similar yet much stronger. It was also a barrier that could be upgraded if the need arose. Not like the other one that any huge fluctuation would render it useless. He made sure to get it approved by both men before he put it up. To be extra sure it worked he had some of their strongest warriors test it. They threw talismans, arrows, sword strikes, and music blasts at the activated barrier. Safe to say nothing would be getting through the barrier by force. 

               Wei Wuxian was using the mountain's spiritual energy and the Lan Clan's excess energy to power it. This meant that every time they practiced their music or sparred any excess used went into powering the barrier instead of being wasted. Quingheng-Jun was quite impressed with the things Wei Wuxian had come up with. They prioritized forcing Wei Wuxian to stop so he could eat and rest. Lan Wangji himself sometimes just picked up Wei Wuxian by the waist from whatever he was doing. It became normal to see their Sect leader carry a dangling pouty Madam to either eat or sleep if Quingheng-Jun didn't get through to him.

                   The Lan Sect was happy to see their serious and cold sect leader so worried over his mate. They had at first been worried that Lan Wangji wouldn't be able to fulfill the job with his cold demeanor. It was different from what they were used to, but they could tell he cared. He was just not someone who could connect to others easily. It had been their new Madam that had made the man seem more approachable to the rest of the clan. With a whiny mate being dragged everywhere by said sect leader it was hard to see him as uncaring. The warm exasperated huff he would release at Wei Wuxian's antics reflected just how human Lan Wangji was. 

                   The disciples also loved the energy of their new Madam. Wei Wuxian was sunshine personified. Like the sun every one wanted to be around the energetic man. They were more than ready to make sure he didn't burn himself out. The kids started carrying sweet nuts and dried fruits to share their Madam knowing he couldn't refuse their little faces. Parents made sure to give their kids extra reminding them to feed their Madam. It became a game for the little ones to see who could guilt Wei Wuxian to eat the most snacks that day. The winner got an extra dessert at dinner.

               Lan Wangji had spoken to the older disciples informing them of the vision Wei Wuxian had of the future. He spoke of all the work his husband had been trying to do to protect them by himself. Lan Wangji told them about the plans they made and asked for their help to keep their home safe. Lan Sect members trained harder than they had ever before. They respected their young sect leader's husband even more than before. Now they knew their Madam was willing to work himself to the bone for their sake. The Lan Sect had come together to take care of Wei Wuxian. As such, they didn't take kindly to someone who came after Wei Wuxian.
