Trapped in their Devotion

Ch.3

Wei Ying woke up with a start once he realized he was sleeping on top of Lan Zhan with his head on his chest even though he could have swore he fell asleep by himself. Wei Ying quickly got off of Lan Zhan when he noticed said man was quietly watching him.
"S-sorry! I didn't mean to fall asleep on you! Was I heavy? Did I drool? Aaahhh I'm sorry if I kept you awake!" Wei Ying rambled a bit, his cheeks undeniably red.
"Mn. It's fine." Lan Zhan said and Wei Ying couldn't help but stare at him for a moment.
It's fine!?!? What does that mean???

Wei Ying sighed, trying to figure it out might just fry his brain. Wei Ying wished he had a flute that he could play to calm his nerves whenever he needed. He sat there quietly until a imaginary lightbulb lit up above his head.

What if he found some bamboo and made his own flute?
"Lan Zhan I'm going out to get something, you should prepare food until I get back." Wei Ying said.
Lan Zhan, "but..."
"Don't worry I won't go far, I promise." Wei Ying said to reassure him.
"Mn..." Lan Zhan seemed to say reluctantly, but didn't protest anymore.

Wei Ying left and went to the forest just outside the village and it didn't take him long to find bamboo but quickly realized he neglected to bring anything to cut it. Should he just go back? No, he should at least bring something back. Wei Ying looked around for a while, not finding much until he saw something glisten under the sun in the distance. He walked over to it and was surprised to see a shallow with hole with two bundles of material Wei Ying had never seen before, one was a beautiful light green and the other a dark green, almost black in colour. He bent down to pick up both of the materials and realized the light green one was light and silky while the dark green one was heavy and felt rougher to the touch.

"Look brother they like both of ours!" One voice said, clearly happy at the prospect.
"Mm, they seem to be from the bunny tribe." A deeper voice said and Wei Ying turned around to see what was two snake hybrids. It took only a moment for Wei Ying to realize what he is holding is snake skin.
Before Wei Ying knew it he let out a small gasp as he was swept off his feet by the dark green snake hybrid. He easily held Wei Ying in one arm and it was then that he saw the four marks on his face. He had more than Lan Zhan!!
"Wei Ying!" A shout came and Wei Ying realized Lan Zhan had come running after him.
"Lan Zhan?" Wei Ying said, confused as to why he's here.
"Let him go!" Lan Zhan growled but the hybrid holding Wei Ying just scoffed.
"Don't bite off more than you can chew little tiger."
He said as he easily left, carrying Wei Ying.

Wei Ying wasn't sure what he was expecting when he was taken away by these two snake hybrids but it wasn't for him to be spoiled by them. He had learned that the light green was Nie Huaisang and that the dark green one was Nie Mingjue. Nie Huaisang had taken to making him clothes for him out of his shed skin. The clothes were undoubtedly better than any he had seen so far.
"Thank you, Huaisang." Wei Ying said softly as he looked at the long light green skirt and crop top. He was grateful for the extra coverage.
Huaisang smiled, clearly proud that his omega liked his handy work.
"You should put it on!" Huaisang said happily.
"Can I have some privacy?" Wei Ying asked when Huaisang didn't leave or look away.
"Hm? Why?" Huaisang asked clearly confused.
"Please just look away!" Wei Ying exclaimed, flushed red like a tomato.
Nie Huaisang seemed confused but obeyed and closed his eyes. Wei Ying quickly changed into the clothes that Huaisang made before Huaisang would decide to open his eyes.

"There you can look now." Wei Ying said and Huaisang opened his eyes, scanning Wei Yings body, lingering on the fluffy bunny tail.
Wei Ying was admiring how comfy and silky the clothes were until he let out a small squeak when he felt a hand touch his tail. His fingers gently fondled his tail and Wei Ying couldn't help but squirm under the touch. His tail twitched under the touch, it felt good and he couldn't stop the the low rumble in the back of his throat.

"How cute." Huaisang said, clearly overjoyed about what had just happened.
Wei Ying's cheeks were already flushed red but it spread to his whole face as he realized what just happened. Why is tail so sensitive? Why did it feel so good? Ohhh god he...

He purred...

"I'm back- hm? What did I miss?" Nie Mingjue asked as he entered the cave to a proud and overjoyed Huaisang.
"He liked it! He purred!" Huaisang said proudly and Wei Ying promptly wanted to die in a hole.
Nie Mingjue hummed in acknowledgment, clearly amused by the whole thing as he asked, "what'd he like?"
"I made him new clothes and he looked so pretty, I just couldn't help but touch his tail!" Huaisang exclaimed happily. Wei Yings ears went down flat against his head as he puffed out his cheeks in indignation.

The two brothers chuckled as they both brought Wei Ying into a hug.
"Sorry, sorry. We'll stop teasing our lil bunny, besides I found a village nearby that we can take you too." Nie Mingjue said, clearly not that apologetic.
"We can buy you lots of nice things too!" Nie Huaisang said, ready to spoil his omega.
"You don't have too..." Wei Ying said, not used to such a thing.

He was used to people scorning him for things he couldn't control. Madam Yu and Jiang Cheng blamed him for Jiang Fenmians death, he too blamed himself. Wei Ying had been drinking and Jiang Fengmian being the kind man he was, came to drive him home. However they never made it home.
His memories of the incident are hazy but he'll never forget the image of Jiang Fengmians body, limp, bloody, and impaled on a piece of steel.

"Let's go tomorrow instead. You should rest." Nie Mingjue said, his voice unnaturally soft as it brought him out of his thoughts.
"Mm..." Wei Ying mumbled in agreement, he suddenly felt drained.
"Just let us take care of you." Nie Huaisang said.
The two of them wrapped their tails around him as if to protect him as they laid him down. They laid on either side of Wei Ying as they embraced him.

Wei Ying felt warm, he felt safe.
