The Forgotten Love

The Obstructed Proposal

Hours had passed since Lan Wangji left the apartment and no signal came from him. It was understandable that he needed time for himself. But whatever had happened in the past, his husband never was holding griefs and they could make up. But this time… this time it was different. Lan Wangji believed that the other cheated on him. While Wei Wuxian was hurt that the only person he had big hopes in his trust, didn't believe him. So the latter couldn't find a strength to call the man. And try to fix everything. Just hide his pride. He just couldn't live without this man anymore. A realization hit him during long hours of crying on a couch. In their terrifying empty and quiet apartment.

He didn't notice when tiredness made him doze off. He didn't sleep for a whole night, then cried a lot. His eyes just couldn't handle it anymore and the man lost his consciousness for half an hour.

A sound of phone rigging made him jump up. First, he was confused as the sound pulled him out of not so deep sleep. His gaze didn't focus on the number showing on his phone screen. He didn't even look at it, picking it up quickly, hoping it was his husband.
"Lan Zhan? Where-"
"Mr Wei?" A strange voice cut him speaking in mid air. "I am calling from United Family Hospital…"

Wei Wuxian had to sit when he heard what had happened. His limbs deserted, making him unable to stand. His hands were shaking when the call ended, leaving him speechless, with his heart beating harshly, making his chest ache. This…this can't be… Lan Zhan…
No, he can't just sit there. He must see him! Fuck their conflict! Didn't they just tell him he had an accident? If they didn't argue, if Wei Wuxian wasn't a fucking idiot…

"I am his husband! Let me in, let me in!"
Two nurses tried to stop the rushing through the hall yelling man. He didn't want to hear that he couldn't enter the room. Who makes the rules? Why can't he see his own husband? His love? His family?
"Mr. Wei… sir… please, calm down."
But Wei Wuxian didn't want to listen. Paving the way, he finally found a room where they put Lan Wangji. His hands laid against a window, through which he saw the most terrifying view he wished to never see in his life.
"Lan Zhan…"
A man was laying on a bed, motionless, with a mask on his face sending oxygen to help him breath. His chest had been covered with electrodes, sending parameters to many monitors settled behind him. And the blood… dry stains still could be seen on his paler than usual skin.

Immediately all power he had when he was running upstairs, too impatient to use an elevator, now was completely gone.

A police approached WY and asked if he was the family member that they informed about the incident happened
Saying he was, the police officer handed him Wangji's belongings found in his wrecked vehicle. It was a resealable storage bag consists of Wangji's phone car key, 2 air tickets to Rome and....... A wedding invitation?!!!! 

That night, Wangji was waiting for his husband to come back, no, he was eagerly, anxiously waiting for him to come home while he's seated by his desk fiddling with the 2 plane tickets and the wedding invitation in his hands. His visage was bright and warm. He was emitting euphoric aura about him. His eyes gleaming with love and glee as he jittery checks constantly on his watch.

"Wei Ying"

He would mutter time and again and look towards the door enthusiastically.

These past few weeks, Wangji was occupied at work that he comes home late regularly. He only told WY that he's engaged in the company's important project, which was a fib. Little did Wei Wu Xian know that his husband was preparing a momentous surprise.

It's been years since they got married, and that wedding was private, only close family & relatives were invited. Wangji knew too well that Wei Ying would love a sumptuous and public wedding, thus, he wanted to ask his hand once again and marry him under the thousands and thousands watchful eyes of people who are looking forward for this renowned couples matrimony. He was willing to abandon his taciturn and reserved self being for that moment to prove Wei Ying that he was never once embarrassed and shamed of him, that he, was more than happy to spend his lifetime with Wei Ying.

He busied himself to prepare things needed for the said ceremony that will be held in Rome. This plan was restricted of Wei Yings perception and was only to be unfold to him that night, but he never came home.

Two days before the incident, Wangji personally visited the venue and church for their wedding ceremony in Rome to ensure that things are going on as planned. Travelling for two consecutive days without staying for a night in the said place, not wanting to stay away from his husband for a long period of days. That day he was euphoric to go back to his husband's side. It was a wonderful heavenly feeling being able to hug his husband so tightly after 2 days of being away. He want it just the way Wei Ying described his dream wedding ceremony would be. Tho it didn't happen when they got married for Wangji's sake. Now, this time around, Wangji only wish to make it true for his beloved.
"This time for sure"
He mumbled with the warmest brightest glimmer in his golden orbs.

Wei Wuxian wasn't fighting with the staff anymore. However, seeing his face, grimaced in pain, nobody dared to approach the man and pull him away, just letting him look at the other man through the window. They let him unbothered until the policemen approached to identify him and give the personal belongings they found with the causalty. Just this little could be saved from the wrecked car. Even a phone had been completely destroyed.

Left alone, Wei Wuxian looked at the tickets and wedding invitations. His own wedding with Lan Wangji. A beautiful blue envelope with silver letters on it, colors they both adored the most. Reading the words on it, Wei Wuxian felt how tears are again drawing wet lines over his face, then dripped on a beautiful paper in his hand.
"Lan Zhan…"
His name was broken, barely audible. This man… he was making preparations to make one of Wei Wuxian's biggest dreams come true while he… he…
"Can I… can I see him? Go there?"

After losing all power he could only beg. If he has to, he will even kneel just to get permission to hold his husband's hand.
