As they settle down in the room, Wei WuXian takes out ChenQing and begins playing a familiar tune. As if on queue, Lan WangJi takes out his guqin and they play 'Wangxian' together, creating a calm melody throughout the room.
"Lan Zhan, can you tell me more about Sizhui? He's been studying well?" Wei WuXian asks once they were done, reaching for his liquor again. It was his third one now and he continued drinking despite the hint of pink slowly rising up his cheeks.
"Sizhui and Wen Ning went on an adventure last year. They conveniently bumped into one another at a town called Fu Feng near Qishan mountain. They solved the mystery of that town together," Lan WangJi tells him. He keeps his eyes closed as he explains the details that Sizhui had told him once he had returned from his night hunt.
"The yin iron again? I thought it had been destroyed?"
"If with enough skills and patience, someone can cultivate it again." Lan WangJi says evenly.
"Hmm...let's just hope no one from the clans ever does that. We don't want another 'Wen Ruohan' to happen." Wei WuXian finally puts down his liquor
"Lan Zhaaan, it seems like the liquor has gotten stronger over the years....I only had a few drinks and I feel drunk," Wei WuXian's words were slurred as he speaks and he's slumped over the table in their room. Lan WangJi doesn't respond, but looks at him fondly.
"Or..m-maybe it's because this body s-still hasn't reached the level of my old one. I miss my old body...t-this one is still w-weak," Wei WuXian mumbled.
"It is a lot better than from two years ago." Lan WangJi says evenly,as he could sense a much stronger spiritual power from Wei WuXian. "Your training with your grandmaster paid off.
"I s-still want my old body b-back. R-remember how our sword f-fights w-were evenly m-matched?" Wei WuXian stutters. Of course he remembered. Lan WangJi closes his eyes and remembers the time when he first saw Wei WuXian, at the gate of Cloud Recesses, whining about how they had lost their entrance pass and didn't want to wait outside. Later that evening, Lan WangJi had caught him sneaking in over the roof and the confrontation had led to a sword battle.In truth, he just wanted to get a better look at this Wei Wu Xian person. When he saw him at the gate, something woke from inside him. A curiosity. A sense of desperation.

"Why did you not stay longer with her to continue stabilizing your golden core?" "B-because I m-issed you so much. I w-wanted to see you so so b-adly. I couldn't st-stop thinking about you e-everyday." Lan WangJi's eyes open and he could see Wei WuXian was leaning much closer to him now, cheeks flushed. Lan WangJi blinks, feeling heat rise up his cheek as he realized just how close their faces were.
"A-and e-every night, I played the s-song you wr-wrote for me and I m-missed you s-so b-ad. I w-wanted you t-to tell me to st-stay, I was w-waiting for y-you to r-run after m-me and t-tell me you w-wanted to to come w-with m-me, but you didn't. H-how c-come? D-did y-you n-not l-like m-me?"
No, I do like you! I left because I wanted to protect you. I needed to let you go for a while. So I would be able to make the world a better place for you. It's because I love you that I had to leave you...even if it was just for a few years. The words Lan WangJi could not get out spun in his head.
"Wei Ying...maybe you should sleep. It's late." Lan WangJi tells him. But Wei WuXian squints at him and makes a pouty face.
"No," He whines. "I want to look at your pretty face. Why are you so handsome, Lan-er gongzi?" At this, Lan WangJi blinks and backs away flustered, his heartbeat starting to increase.
But Wei WuXian gets up unsteadily and stumbles towards him on the floor, one hand landing on his white robes, preventing Lan WangJi from standing up.
"D-don't go. I n-need to t-tell you s-something," Wei WuXian mumbles, but before he could do so, he started slumping towards the ground. Lan WangJi catches him, pulls him off the ground, and leads him over to one of the beds. As Lan WangJi leaves to go to his own bed, he feels hand grabbing him and pulling him down. Lan WangJi instinctively throws out his hands to prevent himself from landing on top of Wei WuXian. However as he does so, he only stops himself as their faces are practically inches apart, arms spread out on either side of him.
"Hey Lan Zhan...I like you," Wei WuXian says, suddenly opening his eyes wide.
"...." Lan WangJi was taken back by the sudden statement. "I s-said I like you. You're amazing. You're awesome and beautiful and you are Hanguang Jun and Lan-er gongzi and my Lan Zhan. You're the best. You're handsome and you fight well. How can I not like you? You're Lan Zhan," Wei WuXian's speech is surprisingly audible despite it being slurred. He reaches a hand toward Lan WangJi's face and gently pats it with the back of his hand.
"Wei Ying, I-" Lan WangJi barely had time to process what he had just said, once he did, he felt something from inside of him. Something he had never felt in his entire life, as if he had been waiting for this very moment for it to finally come out.
"Ah Lan Zhan, do y-you like m-me t-too?" Lan WangJi's heart skips a beat at the question. Breathing hard and heart pounding against his chest, Lan WangJi leans in closer. He could see the details of Wei WuXian's face. The roundness of his face. The sharpness of his jaw. And the soft pink color of his lips. Hands suddenly wrap around the back of his neck and he gets pulled down. The room seemed to disappear. There was nothing in the world but just the two of them. Their lips collided and Lan WangJi could taste the softness of Wei WuXian's lips. The lingering bitter taste of liquor and the burning taste of chili pepper from dinner dances on his lips as he dives into the kiss. He could feel the wetness of the other one's tongue as the kiss became more aggressive and desperate. Wei WuXian's hands slid down his neck to his back, a sound of pleasure rumbling in his throat. Finally after a while, Lan WangJi pulls back, still in shock with what was happening. Wei WuXian opened his eyes slightly when he realized the kiss was over.
"It's late, let's sleep." Wei WuXian mumbles. Lan WangJi gives a faint smile. That's my line, you silly. Lan WangJi starts heading towards the bed at the other side of the room, but Wei WuXian has not released his grip on his robes, despite being asleep now. Lan WangJi sighs. He gently moves Wei WuXian to the inner side of the bed and goes under the cover with him. Wei WuXian was already deep in sleep, having drunk so much liquor as well as the exhaustive journey they took down the mountains. Lan WangJi looks sideways at him on the bed. Everything is perfect now. He had been reunited with the love of his life and now he knew how Wei WuXian felt about him As he watches the gentle rising and falling of Wei WuXian's chest, he smiles to himself and closes his eyes.
A/N: I'm not very good at writing kiss scenes but I tried my very best with this one out of all the stories I've written. I hope it was satisfying <3 Be sure to leave a comment down below and vote for my story!
