Wei WuXian tied the belt around his robes, making them tighten to his size. Somewhere within his chest, a deep sad-filled nostalgia bloomed. He smiled softly.
It had been more than a decade and a half since he had worn the Jiang purple clothes. Wei WuXian had never even dreamt that he would wear these again.
Heavens had very interesting plans for them, it seemed. Fate had a funny way of putting things in full circle.
Wei WuXian kept his hair down, as it was still wet from the bath. His eyes then slowly drifted to the approaching figure next to him. And they stilled on the figure.
Wei WuXian had only seen Lan WangJi wear two colours of clothes. One was white, the other was red.
This was the only time he had seen Lan WangJi wear clothes of any other colour. And oh the Heavens above, his eyes couldn't look away.
Lan WangJi was a beautiful man through and through, the colour purple suited him like lemon and honey with jasmine tea.
The light white touchings of the robes gave him the Lan air around him, but the light and dark purple clothes made him look ethereal, like a cold lotus blooming in sheer ice. Which was practically impossible. But Lan WangJi looked impossibly beautiful to Wei WuXian as of the moment.
He kept staring at the taller man, his heart hammering and somersaulting in his chest. The more he looked, the more he felt like he wanted to keep looking.
Even an eternity wasn't enough to revel at his beauty.
Lan WangJi cracked a beautiful chuckle at the state of Wei WuXian just staring at him, his fist reaching his mouth to cover it, his eyes closing in laughter.
Wei WuXian fell in love with him all over again.
Lan WangJi approached him, "Wei Ying looks beautiful."
Silence.
Wei WuXian didn't register what the other man was saying.
Lan WangJi had seen Wei WuXian in purple before, so it wasn't that much of a surprise to him. But Wei WuXian looked absolutely stunning in the Jiang clothes, especially with his hair down. Lan WangJi kissed his cheek, "Wei Ying looks beautiful."
Wei WuXian blinked. Once. Twice.
"Ah-sorry. You...you are just too handsome. I couldn't hear what you said." Wei WuXian rubbed his eyes, and continued to stare at the taller man.
"Wei Ying looks beautiful." Lan WangJi's rich voice finally entered his ears. He sounded like honey itself, deep, smooth, full. He still had a ghost of a smile on his face, but that small smile made all the difference.
Wei WuXian touched his cold cheek, "Heavens above, how can a man be this perfect?" He was too starstruck, his silver eyes sparkling like a starry night.
Lan WangJi kissed the smaller man's palm over his cheek, covering the hand with his own, "Wei Ying is more perfect. Perfect and beautiful."
"Aiya Lan Zhaaaaaaaannn!" Wei WuXian dragged his name out dramatically, making his expression frantic, "You even have a mouth as beautiful as your face. Stop saying things like that. My heart will give out." He dramatically faked fainting, to which Lan WangJi caught him seemlessly. Wei WuXian opened one eye, the orb twinkling in mischief. He gave a fresh smile, "Er-gege, how come it is that you are so smooth with me, yet everyone said otherwise before? Who could have known you were such a gifted actor? Hiding your true potential like that?"
Lan WangJi gave a small hmph of a laugh, pulling the gremlin in his hands up to stand, "We should go. The others are waiting."
Wei WuXian's eyes went round like saucers, "Oh yeah! I forgot we had business. Come, come! Hurry, Lan Zhan." He practically pulled the jade with his hand, Lan WangJi happily complying and following him out.
At the Swords Hall, waited Yu ZiYuan and her son, the one and only, Sect Leader Jiang Cheng, who stood rather sighing, looking at the impish face of his mother.
"Mother...."
"What?" She side eyed him.
"You...you aren't planning to-?"
"I am."
"........." Jiang Cheng groaned in defeat. Was she really going to?
Who was he kidding? Of course she would.
"We are here." Wei WuXian announced after entering the hall.
"Took your sweet time." Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes.
"A-Cheng let them be. They needed their sweet time. After all..." Yu ZiYuan giggled softly.
Jiang Cheng groaned, Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi turned red in the face and ears. They had realised in an instant.
She heard them...well...doing the jingle jingle.
Yu ZiYuan grinned on a side, "Oh??? What is this? Cherries? Tomatoes?"
"AUNT YUUUU!!" Wei WuXian squeaked in embarrassment.
"Yes, yes. I am hearing." Yu ZiYuan made a cheeky expression. She then turned to Jiang Cheng, "A-Cheng, see, these two love birds. They have so much happening."
"Yu Furen..." Lan WangJi called weakly, looking rather meek.
"Yes?" Yu ZiYuan croaked her neck to him, grinning ear to ear, "Go on."
And well, they couldn't obviously. Wei WuXian turned even redder. How, she didn't know.
"Are you two alright? Turning red and all...from pleasure- I mean pressure?" Yu ZiYuan bit her tongue a little.
"Ayi, please..." Wei WuXian begged while hiding his face in Lan WangJi's sleeves. Yu ZiYuan giggled, "Well, what do you say, A-Cheng?"
Jiang Cheng sighed, "Yeah, well.....Nothing..uh...Just...uh...we need to talk." He was as awkward as ever in the romance department.
"Alright. Alright." Yu ZiYuan laughed, feeling a familiar, lovely fondness, "I will stop teasing you." She paused, twirling to the three of them, then smirked, putting her hands behind her back, "For now."
..........Wow. For now.
"Uhh....Well...we should...uh start." Jiang Cheng coughed. Yu ZiYuan nodded, "Okay."
Then, in an instant, the room's air changed drastically, the atmosphere turned heavier, more serious.
"Here is the plan." Yu ZiYuan spoke up. But was interrupted by Wei WuXian, "Wait. Let's put a protection spell. Just in case."
Jiang Cheng nodded while crossing his arms, "Right. We can never be too careful." Saying so, he walked to the centre of the hall, purple energy swirling in his hands. With a spin, he swiftly thrust his hand on the floor, the entire hall grew into a purple hue, and a barrier was cast.
"Now we are safe to talk." Jiang Cheng walked to them, "That demon can't break through the protections of the Clarity Bell."
Yu ZiYuan looked at them, "So here is the plan."
