Wei Wuxian was fuming. He could not believe his boyfriend sometimes. God he could be so fucking annoying. All he wanted to do was have a little fun. It was pride week for crying out loud. They were supposed to be doing crazy and wild shit. But no his party pooper of a boyfriend just had to tell on him.
It was a simple prank. One that didn't have anyone get hurt even! All he was gonna do was rig the school PA system to play the schools theme song all day long. Well however long before the school shut down. To think he had gone to the trouble of going to the schools band practice just to record said song. It just wasn’t fair. He had every last detail planned out. The only thing he had forgotten to do was apparently not tell his traitor of a boyfriend.
The same boyfriend who was quietly walking five feet behind him. After Wuxian had served his detention his boyfriend had waited patiently outside to walk him home. Wuxian saw him waiting there patiently and exploded. Lan Zhan wouldn’t have had to wait for him if he had just kept his big mouth shut. Instead of greeting his boyfriend like he usually did Wuxian walked right up to him and told him he would not be speaking to him. He felt a twinge of satisfaction at his boyfriends widened concerned eyes. Then he stomped away.
He had hoped that his walk home would cool him down but knowing his boyfriend was behind him just further irritated him. Leave it to his boyfriend to still be a gentleman. Figures.
Once he see’s his home he makes the quick decision to sprint to his front door and slam the door as hard as he could just to make a point at how angry he really is. He smiles smugly to himself as he turns to make his way to his room when his brother appears at the top of the stairs.
“What the actual fuck is wrong with you?!” Jiang Cheng yells at him
Wuxian rolls his eyes at him, not in the mood to deal with his brothers shitty attitude. He heads for the kitchen instead hoping to find a snack.
“Hey! I’m talking to you!” Cheng yells.
“No,you’re yelling at me!” Wuxian replies as he opens the fridge.
“Damn right I am. Why the fuck are you slamming doors!?”
“Fuck off Cheng”
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened in shock. His brother was usually so good at brushing him off and teasing him. It was rare that he would ever leave any opportunity to not throw insults at him. Something was wrong.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“Like you care.” Wuxian grumbled taking out pizza they had left over from the night before.
“Listen moron, I’m not the one angrily eating cold pizza.”he replies pulling out a chair to sit in front of his brother.
“Don’t you have anything better to do?” Wuxian sighed.
“Unfortunately for you...no.”
Wuxian took another bite of his cold pizza before letting out a tired sigh “Well if you must know I’m mad at Lan Zhan”
Jiang Cheng scoffed “Didn’t he just walk you home?”
“Yes...but I didn’t want him to.”
“Okay I’m officially confused. I thought you stayed after school to hang out with him like you usually do.”
Wuxian rolled his eyes. He had only texted his brother earlier that he would be late not really wanting to explain he’d been given detention.
“No okay. I was at detention.”
Jiang Cheng sighs tiredly “What did you do this time?”
“Nothing! I did nothing!”
“They can’t give you detention for doing nothing Wuxian”
“They can if someone decides to fucking betray you.”
“What?”
“I may have told my traitor of a boyfriend my plan for the spirit week prank and his goody two shoes ass decided to tell on me”
Jiang Cheng was speechless. Of all the nonsense his brother has ever said...this was by far the most shocking and hilarious. He couldn’t help but laugh.
“Hey stop laughing at me!” Wuxian yelled indignantly.
“I’m sorry but” Jiang Cheng tried to control his laughter before speaking, “this is fucking ridiculous”
“Jiang Cheng!!”
On the other side of town Lan Wangji let out a miserable sigh. He hated when Wei Ying was mad at him. It didn’t happen often but when it did it always made him feel miserable. He always tried his best to keep his boyfriend happy. And he’d go far as to say he did a pretty fantastic job. Most of the time. Of course he also knew that his boyfriend had every right to be mad at him. He had betrayed his trust after all. It just really sucked.
Lan Wangji had only wanted to keep his boyfriend safe and out of trouble. He knew that if Wei Ying was allowed to go through with his plan he would end up being suspended or worse expelled. A fact that Wei Ying brushed away so easily. Lan Zhan had tried to convince his boyfriend for the better part of the day but Wei Ying was just not listening. He was left with no choice.
After walking his boyfriend to his sixth period class and relishing in their last kiss (because he knew it would be the last one for however long Wei Ying decided to be mad at him for) he marched right into the principal's office. Someone had to do it and he knew that someone had to be him. Of course his principal knew they were dating and even chuckled at the whole situation. Admiring Lan Wangjis' commitment to good behavior he decided to go easy on Wei Ying by giving him one week of after school detention.
Wangji sat in his room with his books open all around him. He wanted to study but he couldn’t focus. His boyfriend was mad at him and he didn’t know how long that was gonna last. At least he knew the other had made it home okay. He looked at the time and sighed once more. It was eight. This was usually around the time Wei Ying would call him. It was their routine. Wei Ying had come up with it ever since before they actually started dating.
He looked longingly at his phone debating if he should take the initiative tonight but then thought better of it. Wei Ying would probably not answer anyway.
Just as he was going to get up to get ready for bed he heard tapping on his window. Surprised, he turned to see a small pebble hit his window. Could it...could it actually be Wei Ying?
With his heart racing he launched himself to his window and flung it open.
There outside looking beautiful as ever was his boyfriend. His heart clenched painfully in his chest.
“Lan Zhan!”
“Wei Ying?”
“I need to talk to you.” Wei Ying said folding his arms in front of his chest.
“I...you…” Lan Wangji tried to say but his shock at seeing his boyfriend stole his ability to make sense of the situation at hand.
“Come down stairs!”
Right...he… he should definitely go downstairs. Not caring for a jacket Lan Wangji raced down stairs and thanked all the gods above no one was home. Throwing the door open he was again surprised Wei Ying was already standing at his front door looking impatient.
“There you are. Took you long enough.” He said in an exasperated tone before pushing Wangji out of the way to step into the house. “No one's home right?”
Wangji nodded.
“Cool.” Wei Ying nodded to himself before giving Wangji a confused look “Why are you still standing at the door?”
“I...um...sorry”
Wei Ying sighed “I’m not gonna say you shouldn’t be...because you should be but not for standing at the door like a dummy”
“Wei Ying.”
“Lan Zhan...why did you do it?”
“Didn’t want Wei Ying to get in trouble.”
Wei Ying let's out a humorless chuckle and Wangji winces at his own choice of words.
“Because a weeks worth of detention isn’t trouble.”
“Wei Ying...could have been suspended or expelled”
“Lan Zhan…”
“I am sorry. I ...I did not want for you to get into trouble that could not be fixed.”
Wei Ying stared at him for a long time before shaking his head in disbelief “You didn't even give me a chance.”
“Could not risk it”
“You’re so infuriating Lan Zhan” Wei Ying replied but his words held no real bite. A glimmer of hope sparked in Wangjis heart.
“I am sorry.”
“Yeah I heard you the first time.” Wei Ying said with a roll of his eyes. And then a mischievous smile spread on his lips making Wangjis heart race.
“How sorry are you Lan Zhan?”
“Very.” Wangji replied instantly and then realized his mistake when his boyfriends eyes lit up with that familiar spark that always made Lan Wangji worry.
“Interesting.” Wei Ying replied stepping closer to his boyfriend “And how will you prove this?” he whispered making Wangjis knees feel weak. He was ruined.
“I...well…”
“Hmm I have an idea...how about you...pull a prank?”
“Wei Ying!”
“Aww come on Lan Zhan don’t you wanna serve detention together?” Wei Ying purred as he pulled Wangji close to him.
He was looking up at Wangji expectantly and his lips were right there. He was so close he could count his eyelashes! God why was he so weak to his boyfriends whims.
“Wei Ying…”
“Don’t worry Lan Zhan it doesn’t have to be a big prank. I honestly doubt anyone would even suspect you…” Wei Ying said giving him a tiny smile. “Could you do that Lan Zhan? Would you pull a prank for your Wei Ying?”
Wei Ying was going to be the end of him. He just knew it. But honestly...Wangji didn’t really care. So with a deep breath he said “Yes.”
“Oh Lan Zhan” Wei Ying breathed before crashing their lips together. Wangji truly is a hopeless man. But at least he is a happy hopeless man.
When they seperate Wei Ying smiles brightly at this boyfriend. “I forgive you Lan Zhan.”
Lan Zhan begins to smile but Wei Ying holds up a finger at him and pouts “But I am still mad at you.”
“Mn”
“That being said...you absolutely do not have to pull any pranks but you will have to wait for me after detention and walk me home everyday. Oh and you have to buy me lunch. Fair?”
Now Wangji really smiles “Fair.” he replies before Wei Ying is kissing him again.
“Don’t get any ideas mister. These are angry kisses” Wei Ying says between every kiss. Wangji says nothing. Angry kisses or not he is happy Wei Ying didn’t punish him longer than a few hours.
Several kisses later Wei Ying leaves Lan Zhans house. With a content smile on his lips. Maybe having a goody two shoes for a boyfriend isn’t all that bad.
