Love: tormentum

Prologue

It was nearly 11 in the morning and cloud recess was bustling with vigorous activity. Disciples were halfway through their morning sword practice sessions.
A serene man clad in white carrying a white sword in one hand and a tray laden with food in another was walking quitely towards the Jingshi. Lan wangji wondered if his Wei ying was awake or not. On reaching Jingshi Wangji opened the doors and went in quietly. He placed the tray on the small table at the centre of the room and turned to look at his husband.
Wei Wuxian was still in his slumber tangled in the sheets with his mouth slightly open snoring softly. Wangji smiled to himself at the sight. Wei ying was never a morning person. Even after 5 years of marriage he wasn't accustomed to the Lan habit of waking up early in the morning.
Wangji slightly shook him and called him softly,"Wei ying, wake up".
Wei Wuxian groaned and turned on his side and started sleeping again. Wangji tried to shake him awake two more times to no avail. He then decided to change his tactics.
He bent down and softly whispered in Wuxian's ears," Wei ying if you get up now I have a surprise for you."
Wei Wuxian opened his eyes a little and pouted,"Lan Zhan I was having a really nice dream right now. I was sitting on your lap and you were feeding me lotus rib soup."
Lan wangji smiled and said," How about you get up and we can make your dream true."
Wei Wuxian giggled and jumped up to trap his husband in a bear hug,"Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, you are the best, what will I do without you."
Lan wangji smiled and picked him up and carried him to the table and sat down.
Wei Wuxian adjusted himself comfortably on his lap and opened his mouth adorably,"aah".
Lan Wangji couldn't help smile at his husband's childishness and he picked a spoonful of soup and fed it to Wuxian.
"Lan Zhan, your cooking skills have become top notch. Now you can make it  exactly the way I like it."
Wangji smiled and said,"Mm".
Wei Wuxian suddenly remembered something and asked,"Lan Zhan, you said something about a surprise, what was it?"
"After eating", Wangji said feeding him some more soup.
Wei Wuxian pouted but did not protest. He obediently finished the soup sometimes blabbering about random things in between.
After finishing the soup Wei Wuxian wrapped his hands around his husband's neck and gave him a small peck on his mouth and said,"Lan Zhan, promise me you will feed me like this everyday."
Wangji grinned at his question. They had been doing this everyday since they were together. His Wei ying would ask him the same question and he would answer him with his "Mm". Just like everyday Wangji answered him,"Mm".
Wei Wuxian smiled and got up and started to get properly dressed. Lan Wangji put the dishes away and sat down at the writing table.
After getting dressed up Wei Wuxian joined him at the table and asked,"Hanguang-jun, shouldn't you now tell me what the surprise is?"
Wangji smiled and took out a key and showed it to Wuxian.
Wuxian was a bit perplexed,"Lan Zhan, what is it? Are you buying us a new house?"
"No", Lan Wangji said," it is the key to the special section of the library you have been asking for so many months."
Wei Wuxian started jumping up and down happily,"What? Lan Zhan, how did you convince the old man to give this? Uncle Qiren was so adamant when I asked him."
"Well I convinced him you will cause no trouble", Lan Wangji said," and I also promised him I will keep an eye on you."
Wei Wuxian grinned and said,"Lan Zhan, don't worry I will not cause any problems this time."
Lan Wangji sighed thinking how impossible it was. Wei Wuxian and trouble walked together hand in hand. But then it was this untamed persona of his that Lan Wangji fell for.
Wangji gave the key to his husband. Wei Wuxian was looking like a small kid on his birthday who was given his most favourite toy. He was working on a new experiment and badly needed the access to the restricted part of the library. He was kind of losing hope when uncle Qiren had denied his request. But now his Lan Zhan has gained him the key. He was beyond happy.
Wei Wuxian jumped up and ran towards the door shouting,"Come on Lan Zhan let's go to the library immediately. I have been waiting for this so long."
"I have a meeting with the elders Wei ying," Lan Wangji said," you go first, I will come to the library after the meeting is over."
"OK Lan Zhan", Wei Wuxian said and closed the door and walked to the library thinking about all the things he had to look up.
He had been working on this project for quite some time. It was a method to bind people's soul so that they can communicate with each other however far they are.
Walking happily to the library Wuxian saw his son Shizui and Jingyi arguing with each other.
"A-yuan, what's the matter? Is this little piglet troubling you? Should I tell Lan Zhan to make him copy the rules again?", Wei Wuxian smiled mischievously.
"Wei qianbei", Jingyi pouted.
"No, no, Wei gege, he wasn't troubling me. We were discussing about inviting A-ling to the year end festival."
"I was telling him he doesn't need any reason to invite Jin Ling as he will come anytime if Shizui invites him", Jingyi supplied smirking.
"Jingyi", Shizui cried," Wei qianbei, it's nothing like that. We haven't seen each other for sometime. So I thought of inviting him for the festival and then go on a night hunt later."
"Ha ha, fine Shizui invite him", Wei Wuxian said,"don't worry, if my experiment works out you will be able to talk to him whenever you want".
Wei Wuxian winked and walked away leaving a blushing Shizui and giggling Jingyi.
He reached the library pavilion and entered the room. The library was empty. He sighed heavily and walked towards the restricted room. The key that he had opened the room that contained the magical arts section. Wei Wuxian excitedly opened the door and entered.
The room had a strange smell of incense and camphor. He wandered around the room lazily looking at various books.
Suddenly his eyes fell on a wierd looking dial like instrument. He took it and examined it carefully. It had numbers written on it in golden letters. Wei Wuxian tried moving the dials. Suddenly the dial started to vibrate and the numbers started glowing. The room was getting filled with a purple smoke. Wei Wuxian became slightly anxious as the dial started whirring and rotating on its own flying out of his hand. He felt himself being levitated into the air. The last thought Wei Wuxian had was of Wangji before being sucked into a void.
