it's still better than it was in the past, isn't it? we used to fight all the time back then. I at least understand you a little better now. I know you don't hate me, and want me to stay, and don't like it when I avoid a subject, and do like it when I pet your hair, and spend too much time worrying about others. you say the sweetest things and I don't have any idea of what I did to deserve them.

[even after that's sent, his phone still indicates that he's typing]

I'll probably keep messing up. even so, I still want to stay with you. whatever you're afraid of, can't we try to deal with it together, a little bit at a time?

[one_note]

[if he's still keeping visual tabs on Lan Wangji through the leaves at all, he'll see a very physical jerk of shock. Wei Wuxian saying 'I want to stay with you' and 'we can deal with it together' is still some kind of fever dream fantasy]

I would like that.

Very much.

[only autocorrect saves him from making the first phone typo of his life, sending that one off; his eyes are blurred and hot.]

[weiyingdown]

[he can see it out of the corner of his eye; he doesn't know what the physical reaction means beyond surprise, but based on his text reply it can't be a bad surprise]

then consider it done. I would have done it anyways, but it's easier together.

[one_note]

I ask your patience. As well.

[weiyingdown]

you have it! and I'll try not to cause you too much trouble.

[one_note]

No need.

[weiyingdown]

[there is some need, but he won't say that]

do you feel a little better now? will you let me make it up to you somehow?

[one_note]

You have.

[weiyingdown]

even if you say I have, I don't feel like I have. can you indulge me? let me treat you to something.

[one_note]

All right.

[they're a more complicated answer than they look to be, those two words on the screen]

[weiyingdown]

I'll give you a chance to pick something then. otherwise I have something in mind.

[one_note]

Something?

[weiyingdown]

something! it's not a big thing, so don't get excited.

[one_note]

I want it.

[weiyingdown]

you have to go to the cottage to get it!

[one_note]

[he watches Lan Wangji sit still a little while longer, and then finally shift to get up]

I will go.

[weiyingdown]

I'll meet you there!

[hmm wait is he on Lan Wangji's only path out of the garden,,]

[one_note]

[he MIGHT be

on the other hand Lan Wangji is not moving with particular speed.]

[weiyingdown]

[it is too embarrassing to be caught snooping on him, so he tries to sneak back out without getting caught]

[one_note]

[if Lan Wangji notices, he doesn't call him out on it '-'

Wei Wuxian probably gets to Mint first; Lan Wangji enters quietly but doesn't attempt to hide that he has come in.]

[weiyingdown]

[he is currently wearing a butler outfit because he hasn't had time to change yet. he can also be found in his room! the door is cracked open when Lan Wangji gets back, and he can hear him making a racket in there]

[one_note]

[peers in the door

Wei Wuxian looks good in a butler outfit actually. looks him over]

[weiyingdown]

[it's much more form-fitting than his other clothes, by virtue of not being flowing robes! he's going in and out of his bathroom, dumping a few lotus pods onto his table and then going back in for more. but he spots Lan Wangji peeking in during a trip back, and stops to wave him inside. the whole room smells faintly of plants, dirt, and rabbit poop]

Come in already, Hanguang-Jun!

[one_note]

[blinks and then moves inside, quiet as ever]

[weiyingdown]

[ducks in to grab two more pods before taking a seat at the low table; he gestures for Lan Wangji to sit with him and starts picking out the seeds to plop them into a bowl, one by one]

I already said it wasn't something big. But I can promise they're tasty.
