Drunken Mistake

Preview

Unlucky in love? That ain't it. Unlucky in life? Most likely. That's Wei Wuxian for you. Dead parents check. Rejected from a foster home check. Treated like dirt, check. Engaged to a snob, check. Scapegoat in a corporate scam, check. Drunk to his eyeballs, double check. 

Lan Wangji approached the man slumped on the bar stool. His plan was working. He had his prey exactly where he wanted him. That was till he turned the stool around. It wasn't Mo Xuanyu. It wasn't his white moonlight at all. 

He signaled the bartender to stop the free supply of drink. He felt guilty. He wanted to get his childhood sweetheart drunk before drawing out a confession from him. But this was a complete stranger. He couldn't fault the bartender because of the strong resemblance this man held to his love.

"Hey, are you alright? You need to go home," Lan Wangji said, slapping his face to keep him awake.

"Wah mo ding (One more drink)", Wei Wuxian slurred.

Lan Wangji shook his head. "No more. Give me your address. I'll book a cab for you," he insisted.

"No home for me. It's the wide-open road," Wei Wuxian slurred back, pouting at Lan Wangji. The mole under his lips inviting him. Just then his phone rang. Lan Wangji noticed that it was his best friend calling. 

"Wei, Yangyang, Target is not at this bar," Lan Wangji informed.

Whatever Yangyang had to say made Lan Wangji turn pale. "知道了" he replied.

He turned to the beautiful stranger before him. "While I waste my time with you the boy of my dreams is fucking my enemy. What should I do with you now?" Lan Wangji challenged.

Wei Wuxian looked at him frowning as anger seeped out of Lan Wangji. "Why don't you fuck someone else? You're quite pretty. Anyone would want you," he suggested.

"Great idea".

Wei Wuxian, the adopted son of the Jiangs was the perfect candidate to shoulder the blame for the large-scale privacy breach in the client data that could have had the Jiangs bankrupt and subject to multiple lawsuits if the old Mr. Jiang did not think on his feet and had Wei Wuxian charged and thrown out of the company. As the chief computer engineer in the software development company, he was the perfect scapegoat. Wei Wuxian found himself on the streets, homeless, jobless, and free after nineteen years of slavery at the Jiang household. However, with a ruined reputation, and the threat of lawsuits hanging on his head, he was hardly in a position to celebrate. For that day alone he decided to head to a bar near his erstwhile office where the barman informed him that drinks were on the house, and he decided to get drunk for the first time in his life. Life had fucked him and for once he didn't mind, till he woke up the next day, in a strange bed and aching all over.

Lan Wangji met him when he was fourteen and the boy was twelve and had pushed him away. When he crashed into Mo Xuanyu at a shopping mall, he knew it was the same boy who had made him realize his sexuality. But Mo Xuanyu was oblivious to him, not even recalling the time when he was sent to the Lan home as a foster kid. When he broke up with his girlfriend, Lan Wangji laid a trap for him at his favorite bar, hoping to seduce him while he was drunk enough to give him a chance. But the man who got caught in the trap turned out to be his lookalike while Mo Xuanyu got together with his enemy's son. Lan Wangji asked the drunk stranger what his perfect revenge should be, and he suggested that he should go fuck someone else and that's exactly what Lan Wangji did.

A/N Another random idea. I don't even know if I'll be writing this story. It's more an Untamed fanfiction since Mo Xuanyu and Wei Wuxian are lookalikes here. I generally tend to slide closer to the books. So, this is a new horizon for me. And again, this is just for fun. 

Here Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian have an age gap of two years while Mo Xuanyu is four years younger than Wei Wuxian.
