Chapter Text
The next day was Christmas Eve ! There was snow everywhere.
Wei Wuxian was pacing up and down in his living room. He didn't really know what to do since the “incident” the day before. Ok, that was not really “an incident”. In fact it was maybe nothing. Maybe … he stopped. “Well, think about it Wei Ying...if Lan Zhan hugged me back, maybe it’s because... possibly... No, no, no, he was just worried… That’s all!”
Wei Ying looked at his phone. Since yesterday he hadn't even responded to his message and didn't know if he should talk to him, go to see him... or stay away. Arrgg! He ruffled his hair.
In fact he wanted to see him. So much.
He has to think about what to do. Find an idea or something.
Lan Wangji looked thoughtful. His friend didn't seem to contact him anymore and that worried him. “Did I do something wrong ?”
His uncle didn't give him time to think about it any longer and summoned him to his study. They spoke behind closed doors for over an hour… And no one knew what they’d said to each other.
At the end of the afternoon, just before the sunset, Wei Wuxian received an SMS
“Come. I have something to say.”
He presented himself at the portal of the manor at dusk. Lan Wangji was there. Waiting for him in his thick, long white coat adorned with blue clouds embroidery.
“I was waiting for you.”
They stared at each other, but they both seemed embarrassed and Wei Ying was going to say something but Lan Zhan invited him to enter the mansion.
It was the first time he was welcomed into the Lan family's luxurious manor.
He looked at all the precious items around him, but dared not touch anything.
There were delicate white and silver Christmas decorations all over the place, and at the back of the room a huge Christmas tree. Silver glitter ribbon and loops of blue Velvet. What a delight and cosy place.
It was the first time that Lan Zhan had seen Wei Ying so silent.
Wei Wuxian carried a sort of cloth-wrapped box in his hands. He put it on a precious wooden table.
Lan Wangji coughed a little and said, "You haven't talked to me all day.
- Yeah… I… I...In fact I was preparing a present for you.
- What?”
Wangji expected all kinds of explanations, but not this one.
“You what?”
Wei Ying's smile seemed to be back. "I spent the day preparing this present. Open it!"
Lan Zhan did so without further delay. He removed the fabric then opened the box and discovered … A cake!! His face looked so surprised and astonished that Wei Ying started to laugh.
“Ha ha ha ! Lan Zhan, you weren't expecting that, am I right?!”
Lan Zhan stared at him with big round eyes and half opened mouth.
Wei Ying was smiling again and again.
“This is a carrot cake! I promised to return the stolen carrots to you, so I did. In a cake.”
Wangji looked at the cake again. There even was a heart-shaped icing on the top of it!
“I'm not a very good cook and it took me... most of the day actually and …
- Is… Is that why you weren't answering me? Weren't you avoiding me?
- Err… Of course not. I wanted to give you something but, as I have nothing…”
Lan Zhan stared at him again then looked down at his hands. They were covered with bandages and Wei Ying tried to hide them. That was too much for Lan Wangji. He crossed the room in one step and took WWX's hands in his.
“Wei Ying.”
He raised them to his mouth and kissed all his fingers one by one.
Then he looked at him, straight in the eyes, and added "Thank you". Wei ying had turned beet red and didn’t know what to say. Anyway, he couldn't say anything because his mouth was sealed with a kiss.
A light but kind of long kiss.
They stopped, because, you know, this was the Lan manor and people were probably hereabout…
Lan Zhan took him in his arms.
“I spoke to my uncle today. He seemed to already know what is going on between us.”
Wei Ying was very surprised. How could Lan Qiren know it, when even he didn't?!? He felt kind of stupid.
“And.. I asked him to invite you this evening to the Christmas dinner.
- Uuhh?! Really? Now? With all your family?!
- Yes.”
Lan Zhan looked at him. He seemed confused. He even blinked several times.
“O...Okayy.”
Lan Zhan smiled at him. The most beautiful, rare and precious smile on earth. Just for him, in front of the Christmas tree.
And they joined the dinner table together.
That evening, WWX was accepted into the Lan family and they couldn't have a better gift than seeing Lan Wangji this happy.
The End~
Merry xmas to you all.
P.S : And for what happened after the family dinner, when it started to snow again and Wei Ying had to spend the night at the mansion, that will be another story ^__~
