"With my blood, drawn by my hand, I sacrifice my body to you, my soul shall disappear, Humbly, I await you, Yiling Patriarch, Wei Wuxian!"

Nothing happened.
"Why did nothing happen?! What- What did I do wrong? No.. No! Oh no, oh no. What do I do?? A-sangs going to be so mad!" Mo Xuanyu started hyperventilating from his failure. He didn't have any idea what to do, he was so scared. Having a panic attack as well as having a terrible mental state wasn't a very good combo.
"I-I'll try it again! Maybe- Maybe if I- Oh gosh oh go-" Mo Xuanyu was cut off short as someone landed right ontop of him.
"OUCH!" A voice that was not his own.
"Errr... This isn't heaven? What-" The strange figure attempted to get up, but he collapsed. That's what happens when you don't really put your limbs to good work for 13 years..
"Oh! Uhmm. Hello?" The strange figure poked at the body below him..
"AHHH!!! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!! I STILL NEED TO FIND A GOOD MAN TO BED!!" Mo Xuanyu screamed, flailing his limbs around.
"Woah there kid- I'm not going to do anything to you.." He lightly laughed.
"Huh?.. Y-you're not?? Wait.. YILING LAOZU!?" Mo Xuanyu screamed again.
"Aiya! Stop with the screaming.. My head hurts well enough already.. But yes, yes! It is I, Wei Wuxian!" He loudly stated.
"How!? How are you here and I'm still here as well?? What? This wasn't supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to be DEAD!" Mo Xuanyu started to panic again. He was supposed to be dead! Sure, he said don't kill me earlier, but he wanted a painless death! That was the whole reason of doing this ritual! To have a PAINLESS death! Not a PAINFUL life.
"Let's cut it out with the death wishes, okay little guy?.." Wei Wuxian suggested.
"Little guy?! I'm practically older than you!" Mo Xuanyu said.
"Oh yeah!? How old are you then??" Wei Wuxian asked.
"uhhh"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN UHH?? Do you not know how old you are?!!" Wei Wuxian shouted.
"No.." Mo Xuanyu confessed. "I never really got told what or when my birthday even was, to be completely honest with you.." Mo Xuanyu sighed.
"What?!!!"
"U-uhm, before we get talk about my life problems, can you maybe let me get up? I'm a cut-sleeve and all, but my limbs are starting to go numb.." Mo Xuanyu asked.
Only then, did Wei Wuxian realize that this entire time, in his attempt to get up and fall back down, he had pinned the boy on the ground.
"Oh. OH! Of course!! Yes, yes, sorry..." Wei Wuxian laughed.
Wei Wuxian rolled off Mo Xuanyu, and started to stretch.
"Hey kid, what's your name?" Wei Wuxian asked.
"This lowly ones name is Mo Xuanyu, sir." Mo Xuanyu said.
Wei Wuxian choked on nothing.
"SIR?! I am not that old! My soul is only 33, but my body is 21" (i think he was like 21 when he died right??)
"Oh." Mo Xuanyu said.
"Mo Xuanyu, Mo Xuanyu.." Wei Wuxian tested out the name on his tongue.
"Y-Yes??"
"Mo Xuanyu! A nice name, it has a ring to it. Mysterious feathers, a nice meaning as well!" Wei Wuxian grinned.
"O-oh. Thank you.." Mo Xuanyu blushed. You couldn't tell he was blushing thanks to his make-up, but he wasn't used to being complemented.
"No problem! Did your dad or mom name you?" Wei Wuxian asked unknowingly.
And just like a faucet being turned on, Mo Xuanyu instantly started sobbing.
Wei Wuxian sat there dumbfounded on what he did wrong to make the poor boy cry, so he just did what his ShiJie did when he started to cry.
He took Mo Xuanyu into his arms and just started to whisper sweet nothings into his hair while gently rocking back and forth.
Although Wei Wuxian was very flirtatious and popular back in his first life, he never really felt this familiar with anyone else other than his ShiJie, who because of him, had died.
Mo Xuanyu just kept crying, and crying, and crying. Wei Wuxian didn't know what to make of this, he wasn't familiar at all with what to do in this situation. So he just let him cry.
Eventually, Mo Xuanyu wore himself out with his crying, and his face was completely ruined now, the make-up was entirely ruined from his crying fit.
Wei Wuxian neck had been stained from Mo Xuanyu crying into his neck, but the boy was sleeping so soundly in his arms that Wei Wuxian didn't have the heart to put him down, so he just chuckled softly and quietly but effectively scooched to the make-shift bed, which smelt like it hadn't been washed in weeks. There was also no blanket there either, so each night Mo Xuanyu had probably been freezing to death in this shed. Wei Wuxian saw these living conditions that Mo Xuanyu had been through, as well as how skinny and malnourished he looked, Wei Wuxian decided he was going to take him away, and hide him.
Luckily, Wei Wuxian was in his old body, so he had his big ass outer robe, so he draped it over both of them, and fell asleep quickly for the first time in 13 years.
