[his face just HEATS UP]

...S-something besides that.

...

With me.

I'm with you right now. Do you mean that you want it to stay like this?

Mm.

[his laughter is tinged with relief]

I have no intention of changing anything. You'd have to chase me off to get rid of me!

Will not.

[moving the hand on his shoulder to skritch under his chin. he also rubs a little smudge of dirt away; this is watch stealing chickens does to a pristine image...]

I know you wouldn't. But...you are allowed to, if you get tired of this. Surely your future wife will get jealous otherwise.

Will not.

[laughs]

What are you saying? Do you really want me to go everywhere you go? Your wedding? Your honeymoon? Every night hunt after that? Who wouldn't get jealous!

[frowns thunderously]

Wei Ying.

[raises his hands in defeat]

All right, I won't say anymore. You were kind enough to share a secret with me, I shouldn't tease you about it.

[Lan Wangji just kind of

lunges at him]

--?!

[he tries to dodge but just ends up falling over]

[pins him heavily to the bed, unusually graceless, his face very very close. his eyes are clouded. Wei Wuxian can smell the alcohol on his breath]

No wife.

[stares up at him, dazed, before deliberately lifting his head up just enough for their noses to touch]

No wife? Just me? Are you sure that's a good idea? What if I try to take advantage of you?

[his eyes widen, but, stubbornly]

Just you.

[he doesn't move back, but his eyes slide away, looking at a point near his ear]

Lan Zhan, I'm going to get the wrong idea if you say things like that.

[his ear is RED]

Only Wei Ying.

[that could mean anything]

...What do you--

[stops himself and gives Lan Wangji a small push]

Let me get up. How am I supposed to ask you questions like this? Aren't you embarrassed?

[...lets his head sink down until his forehead is resting on Wei Wuxian's shoulder instead. he's heavy and immovable]

[that wasn't what he asked for but in a way it also works. he wiggles one arm out from underneath them and rests it on the back of Lan Wangji's head. with uncharacteristic hesitance he starts running his fingers through Lan Wangji's hair, stopping every so often to pull out an undiscovered leaf or feather from his chicken-thieving adventures]

Lan Zhan, I want to know another secret. You can't fall asleep until you answer my question.

Mm...?

[he's quiet for too long, really. it's only a few minutes, but they feel stretched out as he works himself up to ask the question. and even then, it comes out in a mumble]

What...do you think of me?

[he can feel the tremble of hesitation run through Lan Wangji]

I...to you...

[IT WAS ALREADY TOO MUCH TO SAY THOSE WORDS, j-just waiting with baited breath]
