Xichen's heart Pt. 2

WELL IT WAS REQUESTED SOOOO HERE WE GO! LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

As the sun rose into the sky, Jiang Cheng could feel the stiffness in his arms from being bounded for the whole night. He wasn't able to get much sleep either thanks to the situation that occurred after just a couple of shots of Emperor's Smile. 

'Ugh, is this how it was for Wei Wuxian..? What did Lan Wanji do to him when he was drunk?'

He carefully attempts to remove himself from the bed, but a tight grip refuses to let him go. He feels the veins throbbing at the temples of his head feeling a achy sensation. A headache was not what he needed right now. 

"Ugh...Xichen..please wake up already!" he shouts kicking his leg. But all of a sudden his leg becomes trapped by the other pair of legs beside him.

"Shh...don't be so loud please..."

"Hah?!"

Xichen sits up releasing him as he clears his vision. He turns to him and smiles gently.

"Good morning, Jiang Cheng," But the moment he opens his eyes, he looks to the bounded sect leader before him. He rubs his eyes and takes another look. He lifts his arm to see his headband tying his wrists together.

"Ah, you awaken and realize your mistake now,"

"D..did I do this?"

"It was a mistake to give you alcohol....so in a sense it is my fault. But please be responsible and remove this,"

Xichen just stares at the bounding with his hand to his lips and his cheeks pink. Jiang Cheng just stares at him in disbelief. What was he thinking? What was he feeling? He didn't know and at the same time he did not want to know. 

"Oi! Snap out of it!"

Xichen gasps a bit and merely shakes his head, "Ah, terribly sorry...but if I am quite honest Sect Leader, I do not relatively want to remove it,"

"Excuse me?! Y..You d..do know the meaning of your own headband yes?! T..this is the most precious thing you Lan Clan members hold dear right..?! I..Isn't this meant for l..like a l..lover?!"

"Well...yes..."

"Then-!"

"But...that's precisely why I do not want to remove it..."

"What?!"

"I believe you heard me?" he says with a gentle smile. He hovers over him as his robe falls as well having come undone during the night exposing more of his upper body. Jiang Cheng just glares at him with a shade of pink rushing over his cheeks. 

"Release me immediately...." he growls as purple bolts of lightning start to flash over his entire body. Xichen sighs lightly and removes his headband from around his wrists. Jiang Cheng yanks his arms away from him the moment he is freed. He stands up angered by the situation, and decides to make his way to the door of the room. He pauses for a moment.

"Xichen, think carefully about your words. These passed few days have been difficult for you, so please do not try and rush into things that you may not be certain of. Also do not drink the liquor anymore. You clan members really do not need it," he opens the door and walks out closing the door behind him. 

Xichen sighs heavily and looks down to the headband in his hands. Was he really confused about this? Was he really certain about this? Even if he was drunk the night before, he didn't believe that this was a mistake. But despite that he knew that Sect Leader Jiang was right. He needed to continue to sort out his feelings on the matter of Jin Guangyao. There was going to be a meeting soon to discuss all the events that have transpired, and as it stands he, Jiang Cheng, and Jin Ling and Huaisang were the main witness to everything. So their accounts needed to be reviewed. And discussions on what to do with the Jin clan also needed to be discussed. It was going to be a long day. For the time being he decided to prepare.
