[he just slips right down to the bottom of the tub, where there is almost no water left, and gasps for air in between the press of their lips]

[one_note]

[Lan Wangji is not in much better shape, taking in air in great ragged gulps when they do manage to breathe, but his body's warm over Wei Wuxian's, a barrier between his wet skin and the cool air outside the tub]

[weiyingdown]

Er-gege...er-gege...

[wraps his filthy, messy arms around him, trying to lock in some of that heat for him too]

We made such a mess again...aren't you cold? Come here, come here.

[one_note]

[he nestles into Wei Wuxian and his embrance without complaint, both of them warming each other as they catch their breaths at last]

[weiyingdown]

[for a few minutes he settles there peacefully, letting his heart do backflips as he indulges in the fantasy of doing this everyday. then he turns on the faucet again to fill the tub up with more warm water]

[one_note]

[all you have to do is ask, Wei Wuxian!!!

(we both know he will not ask)

Lan Wangji, fastidious as usual, does reach over to uncap the drain and let what's left of the soiled water around them be replaced, before capping it off again; he makes no effort to move off Wei Wuxian otherwise, though]

[weiyingdown]

[(he will not ask)

he is more than happy to cuddle with him even after the tub is refilled. he faintly recalls at some point that he needs to tip them both into the lake, but he's quite fine where they are]

[one_note]

[he can tip them into the lake in a bit. Lan Wangji's arms are around him; Lan Wangji's cheek is resting soft on the top of his damp fluffy head]

[weiyingdown]

[his body is liquid and pliant under him, shifting with his every breath to keep as close as possible]

I want to be able to say your name.

[one_note]

[soft, breathed out into his hair]

Likewise.

[weiyingdown]

Soon. I'll say it so many times you'll get sick of hearing it.

[one_note]

No.

[weiyingdown]

And yet you always used to look so sour when I'd call your name! You really were just being shy then, hmm?

[one_note]

A long time ago.

[weiyingdown]

I know. A lot has changed since then.

[one_note]

[curls a little more securely around him, quiet]

[weiyingdown]

I'm glad you're still you, though.

[he is determined to cuddle with him until the bath water gets cold]

[one_note]

Mm.

I am here.

[he has no complaints about staying as they are until then, either.]

[weiyingdown]

[GOOD!

or maybe not good. it's comfortable and warm and Lan Wangji is right there with him; he nods off a bit]

[one_note]

[does he stir if he feels Lan Wangji eventually shift them around...?]

[weiyingdown]

[he doesn't open his eyes, but he stirs a bit! there is some light grumbling sounds at being moved]

[one_note]

[shhh. shhh. his hair's being petted as he's settled into Lan Wangji's lap instead, while he drains the water a final time and finds towels to bundle them both in]

[weiyingdown]

[presses a sleepy kiss to his neck and peeks one eye open, just barely]

Er-gege, I'm the one who's supposed to be taking care of you, not the other way around.

[one_note]

[the look on his face is just, so stupid soft, in its subdued way]

Not trouble.

[weiyingdown]

Not trouble, but you're the one with the sore bottom, so between the two of us who needs more pampering?

[clings to him even as he sulks]
