All Over Again

Third person POV:

Lan Wangji and Wen Ning had finished setting up the little shelter at the back of the jingshi and Wangji had cast a talisman to hide the shelter, to glamour it like it wasn't even there, which he'd learnt from Wei Wuxian. Soon after, the three siblings went into their shelter. It was mere grass, twigs, btanches and stones, yet Lan Wangi couldn't help but notice that Wei Wuxian looked much more at ease away from him. That night, Lan Wangji called for extra food.

Wangji couldn't stop the guilt that constantly nagged his heart and mind, but he was not ready to trust Wei Wuxian just yet. He wanted, God, he wanted more than anything to trust Wei Wuxian. He needed evidence that the man he'd fallen for is not the person he now believes to be. But he couldn't help it, the logical part of his mind had begun to block his emotions again, like old times. He felt too scared to admit even to himself that he wants the love Wei Wuxian had for him once again. He wants to be a good father and a good husband,but he doesn't know how to fix things and has absolutely no idea what to do to atleast construct a tiny bit of trust in the three who were now in the little shelter in the courtyard of his Jingshi.

Wangji sighed to himself and decided to speak to Wei Wuxian. How to do that, he had no idea. He made up his mind and went outside. He could only hope the Wen Qing wouldn't refuse to let him speak. He knocked on their door and waited until the door opened. As expected, Wen Qing opened the door and looked at him with a sharp but blank gaze. "What do you need?" She asks in a neutral tone. "Wei Ying. I mean.... I need to speak to Wei Ying." Wangji says expectantly and just then Wei Ying comes out. "What now?" Wei Ying asks without stepping out. "I need your help." Wangji says, not sure how Wei Wuxian would react.

Wei Wuxian all but scoff and crosses his arms with a look of anger and disbelief on his eyes. "Are you serious? Are you serious right now? Do you yourself hear what you're even saying?" Wei Wuxian says in a low and angry tone. He was angry, which was understandable. "I know, I know what you're angry, Wei Ying. But.... I rea-" he didn't have the chance to finish as Wei Wuxian interrupted him. "Stop. Just stop. I need to rest. I need sleep. So does my child." He says sharply. "What are you waiting for?" Wei Wuxian asks when Wangji still doesn't leave.

Wangji realized there's nothing he can do to change Wei Wuxian's mind and nods once. "We will talk tomorrow, you may rest now." It was all he said before turning to go back inside the Jingshi.

Wangji has always been able to sleep on time no matter what has been happening or what's wrong. He never lets anything disturb anything his schedules except night hunts, or other matters regarding his cultivation. Yet tonight, he couldn't even shut his eyes. He was stuck in a situation where he couldn't protect anyone, and for once he had no idea what to do. There was his uncle and brother who were lying on the brink of death and here's the man he loves.... but somehow no longer trusts, pregnant with his child and the only suspect for the cause of his uncle and brother's situations at present. He didn't even know if he'll get any of these people back or if things would ever go back to the way they were.

But what he did know is, he has to find a way out. He's always managed to do it and he will find a way out again. He will find a solution. At least that's what he tells himself.

Wei Wuxian's POV:

I don't know why I came here. I don't know what I was thinking when I came here. What I do know is my sister, brother,my baby and I will live well. Be it here or elsewhere.

Whether or not Lan Zhan stays with us.
