Slipping Away

8. Today I Noticed: His Difference

Wei Wuxian-
Sizhui is guilty of something. I know it. I can see it. "Lan Zhan go ask him what he did." He gave me a slightly odd look. I'm getting better at reading his emotions, Zuwu Jun even gave me praise one day for it! Wangji must know what I'm thinking, he's pating my shoulder. "He did nothing Wei Ying." "He did something. Look at his face. He looks guilty!" "Calm down." Lan Zhan dragged me back onto his lap and dropped his head on my shoulder. I lazily put my hand on his hair and looked at him. "What? Is my Wangji tiered? It's ok, I'm tiered to. You always take so much energy out of me, you're like a rabbit." I laughed. He's like a rabbit... "Hey Lan Zhan...let's get another rabbit. For the others to play with." "Many rabbits already." "Yeah but another one can't hurt." I heard him hum and smiled. "Thank you. Let's get a baby one, it'll stay with us until it's old enough to go with the others!" He nodded and squeezed me against his chest. "Hey Lan Zhan, have you seen Jingyi sense last night? Jin Ling told me he already came back but he didn't answer his door..." "Probably tiered. Long night." I nodded but gently pulled his arms from my waist. "I'm going to check on him again." "Wei Ying..." "Lan Ming said he and Jin Ling had a falling out and no one's seen him sense." Lan Zhan let me go but not without a kiss. Even though he doesn't look embarrassed I can see how red his ears are! Point Yiling Patriarch! Haunguan Jun! I...lost count... I knocked on his door and heard nothing. "I'm coming in Jingyi." I opened his door and the room was a mess. No it was a reck. Everything has been pulled off the walls, the blankets are over the window, the beds off its frame and Jingyi's sitting in the middle of it all. "J-Jingyi...what happened?" "...It moved..." "What?" "The scrape... It...scabbed over..." "That's good." "I touched it...and it moved..."
