[eyes it







very carefully nips it out of Wei Wuxian's fingers]

[weiyingdown]

[!!!





grabs another one and offers it up too...]

[one_note]

[he does the same for that one ('-' )]

[weiyingdown]

[completely distracted from picking more seeds, he starts feeding him the ones in the bowl one by one, purposefully making each one hard to nip out from between his fingers.

there aren't that many and the bowl is empty soon! but he looks satisfied as he starts to pick more]

[one_note]

[picks up the next one and offers it to him.]

[weiyingdown]

[he is not careful at all; his teeth scrape Lan Wangji's fingers as he eats it, licking his lips after]

I should have gotten some salt for these.

[one_note]

[his ears redden]

We have some.

[weiyingdown]

But then we'd have to get up to get it! That's not a worthwhile trade.

[one_note]

Next time.

[nearly reaches for a second seed, but then just...looks fully down into Wei Wuxian's face, into his eyes, the look in his own more than a little complex]

[weiyingdown]

[attempts to maintain eye contact; his eyes only half-skitter away once, determined to hold his gaze]

[one_note]

[...cups his cheek...]

I wish to stay.

But will not hold you.

[weiyingdown]

[looks down, a flicker of shame on his face. was he that obviously needy? it's not wonder Lan Wangji feels the need to draw a line when he's shamelessly throwing himself at him]

That's fine. Even this much is fine. I swear I wasn't expecting anything like that! This was just--me wanting to do something nice for you.

If you have other obligations I wouldn't keep you either. But...if you have nothing else to do...please stay.

[one_note]

[a bemused blink; the miscommunication is so clear here, neon-bright, that even he can't avoid being like, wait--]

...

"Expecting"?

[weiyingdown]

[FREEZES]

. . .

[communication. come on. thickens his face enough to say it]

You said...you wouldn't hold me. But I really didn't have any other intentions asking you here! I wanted to treat you to some lotus seeds and that's all.

[one_note]

[there is a definite space here where a sighed Wei Ying should go, affectionate and exasperated]

Our earlier conversation.

If we speak of wanting. Always do.

[weiyingdown]

[...leans slightly so they're shoulder to shoulder, resting his weight there]

Me too. But I like this as well. I always like being with you.

[one_note]

[leans his cheek on the top of Wei Wuxian's head, and reaches for his hand instead]

Yes.

[weiyingdown]

[laces their fingers together]

...I can't feed you like this, you know.

[one_note]

A moment.

[brings Wei Wuxian's hand to his mouth to kiss.]

[weiyingdown]

[his hand tingles from the contact]

It wasn't a complaint! Take all the time you need.

[one_note]

[the kisses are light, fleeting, across the length of his fingers; the curve of his knuckles; the thin fine skin of his wrist over his pulse: i want you, i want you, i want you.]

[weiyingdown]

[stays still, unwilling to break the moment by moving, afraid to break it by speaking. his heart aches with how much he wants to kiss him back, reflected in the little tremors with every press of lips on skin.]

[one_note]

[squeezes his hand, after, and looks him in the eye again.]

[weiyingdown]

[gives in to temptation and presses a kiss to his wrist without breaking eye contact]

[one_note]

[his eyes widen; the blsuh hasn't gone out of his ears. his skin is warm under Wei Wuxian's mouth.]
