„Lan Zhan, not that I’m complaining but when you haven’t been drinking all of this Emperor’s Smile bottles why even bother to hide them here?“
Wei Ying wondered if Lan Wangji heard his question because he got no reaction. Was it already time for bed?
He looked out of the window.
No, the lights were still on.
„Lan Zhan?“
Wei Ying looked at him confused, he was traveling around a while on his own and just got back in the area around Gusu yesterday, when Lan Wangji crossed his way and invited him to come to Cloud Recesses, because Sizhui missed him.
When they arrived it turned out that Sizhui had just left for a nighthunt. He was supposed to be back in a week so Wei Ying simply took Lan Wangji’s invite to stay and here they were, sitting in the very same building, Wei Ying had woken up one year and some months ago.
Wei Ying did not even have to ask, when Lan Zhan had already taken out a few bottles of the hidden Emperor’s smile and offered Wei Ying some.
And if that had not been enough of a surprise, he even drank one cup himself. Wei Ying almost choked on his own.
„I hid it for you, when you come back.“
Wei Ying looked at him surprised and their eyes met. Even though he knew Lan Wangji was drunk his words were the truth and they made his heart stop beating for a moment only for it to start beating much faster again.
It was not only what he was saying but also the way Lan Wangji looked at him.
„For me?“
Lan Zhan only nodded and looked away again, his ears tinted a dark red.
Wei Ying laughed awkwardly, unsure how to react and reached out, touching his ear softly.
„You’re face never shows any sign of embarrassment but your ears…“
Lan Wangji jerked back, when his finger brushed along his ear-shell. He gripped his wrist tightly and it should have hurt but the only thing Wei Ying recognized was how warm Lan Wangji’s palm felt against his skin. How much he had missed this strong grip holding him back from doing something stupid.
„Lan Zhan?“
His voice was quiet and sounded strange in his own ears. He gasped when he was suddenly pulled into Lan Wangji’s lap and strong arms wrapped around his waist. To steady himself he put his hands on Lan Wangji’s shoulders.
„Huh Lan Zhan? What are you doing are you mistaken me with some ma…“The rest of his sentence got caught in his throat when he looked up and was met with the intense gaze of Lan Wangji. The room temperature suddenly seemed so much warmer or it was them being so close. Wei Ying’s heart was thudding so loud in his chest he was afraid it would disturb Lan Qiren during his evening studies.
„Wei Ying.“
It was the only warning he got before warm lips covered his in an almost painful kiss. He could clearly feel Lan Wangji’s teeth clash against his.
He leaned a little back and put his hands on Lan Wangji’s cheeks who tried to get his lips again, no matter how.
„Hey, wait, not so wild. A little softer. Like this.“
Still cupping Lan Wangji’s cheeks Wei Ying leaned in again, tilted his head a little and pressed his lips carefully against his.
Who thought that kissing Lan Zhan would feel so right, like the missing piece in a puzzle he had tried to solve. A comfortable warmth spread through his whole body. The feeling was similar to taking a big gulp of Emperor’s smile but then totally different at the same time. What he immediately knew though was that it was just as addictive as drinking Emperor’s smile, maybe even more.
Lan Zhan moved his hand into his neck and deepened their kiss. His thumb caressed over his neck and Wei Ying shuddered.
As sudden as he had started the kiss Lan Zhan leaned back. Wei Ying first followed his lips with his own and opened his eyes when he noticed what he was doing.
„Huh?“
„Bedtime.“
Lan Zhan only held him close and stood up easily, as if it was not at all hard to stand up with another person wrapped around oneself. Wei Ying only held tightly onto him and let himself be carried to the bed. Lan Wangji carefully laid him down and settled next to him. However, instead of taking his typical Lan sleeping position he rolled to the side and put his arm around Wei Ying’s waist pulling him close. Before Wei Ying could even protest against anything he was doing Lan Wangji was fast asleep, leaving a completely startled Wei Ying alone with his racing thoughts of what just happened.
He blinked confused and looked at the ceiling above them.
„Lan Zhan.“
Wei Ying lifted his arm to entwine his fingers with Lan Wangji’s and laughed quietly.
„Tomorrow I will have a lot of fun teasing you.“
