Lost In The Past | WangXian | The Untamed

Chapter ten, back to the future!

Wei Ying and Nie Huaisang fell from mid-air, yelling and pushing each other, they ended up on the ground. Wei Ying sat up and huffed, rolling his eyes.

Looking around, he realised they were back in Cloud Recess and everything looked... normal... Wei Ying smiled, beginning to cry and he got up and ran, leaving Nie behind who didn't follow him.

Instead, he sat on a bench waiting, ready to face Lan Zhan's wrath.

Wei Ying sprinted through Cloud Recess, despite the ache in his legs and the bleeding cut on his palm he ran and ran and ran.

Many disciples of Cloud Recess looked at him shocked as he ran past them, he needed to find Lan Zhan. Eventually, he arrived at the place he assumed Lan Zhan to be but... The place was empty. This is where they hold clan meetings, this is where Lan Zhan would be in a time like this but... he isn't here?

Frowning, he turned around, his eyes then met another.

"Master Wei!" Sizhui screamed, running toward him before crushing the other in a hug. Wei Ying chuckled, crying a little as he hugged his son / little brother back. Sizhui hugged him for a while before pulling back.

Without a word he dragged Wei Ying to the Jingshi, smiling, he waited for Wei Ying to prepare himself to go inside however, Wei Ying didn't need to prepare.

Without even breathing Wei just ran forward, he tried to open the door but it was locked. Inside, Lan Xichen turned to face the door at the sound of rattling, his brother had become a state again after a recent dream he had. Lan Zhan couldn't care less.

"Whoever that is, please retreat, you shouldn't be here." He yelled out, turning back to his brother, however, both froze at a familiar voice.

"Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying yelled, hitting the door thrice in desperation.

Lan Zhan's head snapped toward the door, his heart beat out of his chest. Lan Xichen rushed to open it as his brother's eyes glossed over and he frantically tried to get out of bed.

Upon opening it he was met with a dishevelled Wei Ying, his clothes were covered in mud and he had gotten thinner. Without a word Wei Ying sobbed, running to Lan Zhan who practically fell on him.

The two ended up on the floor, in a fit of cries. Lan Zhan was hurriedly grasping at the other's robes, pulling him close, he was in a state of shock as well as relief. In tears, he kept mumbling, "I love you." Over and over as Wei Ying relished in the feeling of safety, his Lan Zhan.

"Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying's voice shook, the two stayed like that for what felt like hours as Sizhui and Lan Xichen watched, too in tears until they decided to give them their privacy.

Wei Ying eventually pulled back, he kissed Lan Zhan's lips who just held him close, he wouldn't let the other go for a second. He then kissed his neck, to his collar bone until he went back to hugging him.

Lan Zhan was thinner, Wei finally noticed. Wei Ying moved them both onto the bed, laying down the two just held each other, crying until they couldn't cry anymore until they had both cried themselves to sleep. Together.

They dreamed of each other, together forever.

***

When Wei Ying woke up he was surprised to see Lan Zhan in tears, tracing his facial features. Smiling, Wei Ying kissed his Fiance's lips, "I'm sorry for disappearing..." He whimpered.

Lan Zhan shook his head, "Between us, there is no need for thank-yous and sorrys." He smiled, his arms wrapped around Wei Ying's waist securely, "A-Are you okay? Hurt? What happened?"
