Chapter Text

“We are so sorry sir, your date was due the day before. We don’t have any more available rooms.”

Lan Wangji turned his head, not believing that there was someone else suffering the same trouble he just suffered. He looked at the man dressed in all balck. Hair tied to the top of his head. Seems like he has shoulder length hair judging from the strands that escape the ponytail.

The man dressed in black had a child, can’t be older than five years old, clinging to his arm. Eyes wide hearing what the lady in the reception said. The child seemed like he was holding his tears back.

“No Disneyland baba?” The child asked, eyes filled with tears. Not wanting to hear the no answer.

Lan Wangji looked at the child’s father, The man laughed the situation off, asking the lady to check again. Rocking the child in his arms and telling him they will go to Disneyland and it was the lady's mistake.

It made Lan Wangji roll his eyes. It's definitely not the lady mistake nor is it the child mistake. The father just forgot the date. The very same thing Lan Wangji did. He too forgot that he booked his room the day before.

“We are so sorry sir. There is no room available. I mean there was the honeymoon suite but the gentleman there already booked and waiting to be assisted.” The lady explained so calmly. Eyes on the child that was already crying, head turned to Lan Wangji.

“B-Baba did he steal our room?” The child asked and it made Lan Wangji feel so offended by such a claim. He definitely did not steal someone else's room. He wanted to make that known.

“I did not do such a thing. Your father forgot the date of the booking.” Lan Wangji made it known. Still feeling offended, He watched the father of the child laugh. Ignoring his words, continued to rock the child.

The man seemed also offended by Lan Wangji's words. So he fired back at him, looking at the child as he spoke, “A Yuan look at baba! This gege is right. I forget and I'm sorry but this gege has a big suit to himself. Maybe you can be nice and ask him if we could share it with him? What do you say, A Yuan?”

Lan Wangji wanted to scream. This man was evil. He was what his uncle warned him about. Evil human beings using the innocent and cuteness of children to get what they want.

He watched in full horror, the child being lowered to the ground, letting him reach to where Lan Wangji was standing with his shoulder bag waiting to be assisted to his room for it only to meet with a tough situation.

The child held onto Lan Wangji white suit pants, eyes sparked, mouth curved to a pout, giving him the puppy-like eyes, asking so innocently, “Gege please let us stay with you! A Yuan wants to go to Disneyland with his baba! A Yuan baba worked hard, please let us stay.”

“Ah yes gege! Please let us stay in your big suite and save this poor child and his baba!” The man mocked, holding his laughter when Lan Wangji shot him a look.

“Can not. I need to work.” Lan Wangji spoke through his teeth, watching the other man hold his laughter even more when the child broke out crying so loud.

“Babe! Gege said no!” The child shouted, tears streaming down his face, burying it onto Lan Wangji pants, hand holding tighter.

Lan Wangji wanted to die. Everyone was staring at him. Whispers of him being a bad father were heard. Lan Wangji had no knowledge of children. He had to just stand and watch the actual father of the child laugh while his child cries

“A Yuan! A Yuan! baba is here come we will go find another place.” The father spoke, kneeling to the child level, trying to get the child away from Lan Wangji.

It only made the child sob harder, clinging tighter as he continued shouting, “Baba worked hard for this! A Yuan is sorry for getting sick!”

Lan Wangji looked at the father. Realizing the situation, thinking that the child's father actually forgot about the date like how Lan Wangji did to actually know it was because his child got sick.

Lan Wangji felt bad. He assumed something was not true. It's against his moral rules. He couldn't just forgive himself for such a thing. He took a deep breath, patting the child on the head, watching him looking up at him, snorts coming from his nose, eyes being slightly red from crying.

Lan Wangji's heartbroken. He can’t destroy this child. So he spoke what the child wanted to hear from the start. “En. We can share.”

The father laughed again. It seems that the only thing he has been doing the whole time this thing started, But Lan Wangji watched him clap his hands, opening his arms to the child, “Isn’t that great A Yuan? This rich gege said we can share the room with him! We are going to Disneyland!”

The child's eyes lit, sparked with so much joy.letting go of Lan Wangji poor stained pants, the child ran back to his father, slamming into him so fast that they both almost met the floor if it wasn't for the father's quick reflex to get one of his knees down.

“We're going! We are going! Baba we going!” The child chatted. Giggling from all the joy he felt. Seeing that, It warmed Lan Wangji's heart.

“En! We are going! Lets thank this gege first okay?” The father told his child. Nodding to him, the child turned his face toward Lan Wangji again, with shy look he whispered, “Thank you rich gege.”

“Yeah! Thank you rich gege! Now we can go to Disneyland and see your uncle!” The father told the child, rocking him again in his arms. The child did not look pleased with the last bit. He just grumpper and hid his face into his father’s neck.

Seems like the child said something that Lan Wangji couldn't really hear but only managed to catch the father saying, “I know A Yuan he isn’t the nicest but i have to see him for a little bit only then we can do everything we came here to do. It will be okay. We will be okay.”

Lan Wangji scowled. He didn’t want to interfere with stanger business. But the child in his arms screamed for him to do so. If that person may be a danger to the child, Lan Wangji needed to offer his help.

Judging from the father, Lan Wangji knew it was going to be hard. Keeping quiet as he let them in the suite he paid was the best idea. He came here to work. That's all.

Going up to the floor where the honeymoon suite was located, Lan Wangji opened the room door, letting the two walk in first before following them and lock the door behind them.
“So big baba!” The child screamed once he was lowered to the ground again, watching the child run to the big glass window, looking out at the street.

“A Yuan no running and shouting! And of course this rich gege bought you the biggest room here because you are that cute!” The father told lies. Lan Wangji only took the room because it was the only one available. It seems like the child didn't catch up to the lie, he just continued to look out of the window.

It was going to be the longest four days of his life. The child was so loud but the father was even louder, walking around the suite and discovering everything was there to see, they kept shouting like they were in their own home.

Lan Wangji ignored them, feeling relieved there were two rooms. The master bedroom and what looks to be an extra bedroom for late night activity with a bigger view but smaller bed.

He was really glad at least he won’t be forced to share one with the two. He was definitely going to give the master bedroom to the father and the child since he wasn’t going to be here much to begin with. And they need the bigger bed anyway.

Sitting in the second room, Lan Wangji got his laptop ready, phone in hand and walked to the living area. Feeling uneasy about the place suddenly going quiet. He swears that a moment ago he could hear the two shouting.

Finally reaching the living area, Lan Wangji looked at the child sleeping peacefully in the father's lap while they sat on the coach, watching something on the man’s phone.

Lan Wangji didn't comment, he walked to the work desk, sitting his stuff down before pulling the chair to sit on. He silently opened his laptop and started working.

In the midst of his work he could hear the father finally speak, “Uh I really don't know how to thank you for letting us actually stay.”

Still feeling offended about what happened earlier, Lan Wangji responded, “You wanted it.”

“As a joke yes but I never really actually believed you would agree to it! It was only to buy me sometime to think of a solution really!” The man defended himself. Earning Lan Wangji attention.

Turning his head to the father, he finally noticed how tired he looked. The man massaged his shoulders, letting his hair fall around it. Dark bags under his eyes. Being a father must be hard.

“I must apologize for assuming you forget the date.” Lan Wangji admitted. Getting annoyed when the man laughed but quilted down when the child muttered, “you are loud baba”, before turning to his side and falling back asleep.

“Aiya! I am not the only one who seems to forget about such a thing am i?” The man teased, smiling at Lan Wangji when he knew he was right by how Lan Wangji ignored him and went back to working.

“Are you really ignoring me now? Fine let's do it this way then.” Something in the other’s tone really made Lan Wangji want to turn and look at him. But he was the stubborn one. He will not be offended again.

Lan Wangji was so into his work, responding to emails, re-viewing the case he was going to hold this evening. Not paying attention to the child and father that were in the same room with him.
He only looked away when small hands tapped his leg, turning his attention to the child than to where the father was sleeping, listening to the child speak, “Baba fell asleep but A Yuan hungry.”

“Half hour left for lunch.” Lan Wangji informed the child. He got a pout in return and a clinging child trying to climb into his lap. At first Lan Wangji was hesitant, trying to ignore the child but gave up when he looked at the teary eyes that stared back at him.

Lan Wangji picked the child, placing him on his lap and stared at him not knowing what to do next. They both stared at each other for a little while before A Yuan turned around and looked at the screen where half written email was displayed.

“Rich gege, A Yuan wants to watch cartoons.” A Yuan, The child requested.

“I am working. Wait for a bit.” Lan Wangji spoke, hands getting back at typing the email, Feeling the child shift and stare at him speaking again, “Can A Yuan use rich gege phone?”

“En.” taking his phone from the table, he handed it to the child who opened it with no problem and went though the three apps Lan Wangji had on his phone. Blinking a few times, not knowing why he can’t find the white and red app he always uses. A Yuan waved the phone in front of Lan Wangji face. “A Yuan can’t find the cartoons.”

Lan Wangji took a deep breath, he took the phone and opened the web to write children cartoons and hand the phone back to the now happy child.

Time passed for a short period. Lan Wangji worked on his laptop, the child watched the cartoons quietly, giggling from time to time, shifting his weight and sometimes he sat and hugged Lan Wangji neck with phone still in his small hands.

It made Lan Wangji's heart stop and melt at the same time. It was sweet. This child was so sweet and quiet. Unlike his father. Lan Wangji noticed how the child only was loud when his father was around.

Now thinking about the father, Lan Wangji looked at where the man still was dead asleep on the coach. He noted that the man was in a fetal sitting position that will end up with him getting a sore neck.

He had to get up and order lunch anyway. So with that, Lan Wangji stood, carrying the child in his arms, He walked to the couch, lowering the child down on before holding the father's neck and slowly made him lay down, covering him with one of the throw blankets the hotel offered.

“Baba couldn't sleep last night because A Yuan was very sick! Rich gege should let baba sleep more! A Yuan will save his food for baba!” The child told him, getting close to him, tapping his arm as he spoke those words.

Looking at the child, he did look a little pale. With the back of his hand, Lan Wangji touched the child's forehead, noticing how warm it was. It confirmed that this child was indeed still sick and needed more attention.

“En. you need to take medicine.” Lan Wangji informed the child. Looking back at the sleeping father, Lan Wangji sighed. He has no idea what to do with children and it's not his responsibility to even care for this child.

“A Yuan will give the medicine to his baba. It's okay A Yuan isn’t tired anymore.” But the moment A Yuan said that his heart melted and couldn't just stand and do nothing. This child is the sweetest.

None of the man or the child noticed that the father had woken in the midst of them speaking until they heard his voice, saying, “what did I miss?”

The more Lan Wangji looked at him the more tired this man looked. He only got two hours of sleep if what the child told him was correct. But Lan Wangji said nothing, he walked back to the table and sat down like nothing happened.

And of course, the father had to tease his child, speaking with a teasing tone , fake gasping, “Did you take rich gege phone? Oh no A Yuan! He will kick us out now! What are we going to do?”

“B-But rich gege gave it to A Yuan!” The child said, running to where Lan Wangji was, tears filled his eyes, almost believing his father's words. Wanting to climb onto Lan Wangji’s lap again.

“En. I gave him the phone.” Lan Wangji spoke, picking up the child to seat him in his lap again. It was an action he did without much thinking, only realizing it when the father started laughing.

“What is this? I've been sleeping for a few hours and you two already became friends? Do you like this gege more because he is rich? Am I no longer your favorite poor baba?” The father continued teasing, getting up from the couch, approaching the two.

“Do not tease the child.” Lan Wangji told the father. Looking at the child teary eyes, Not liking the fact he was now in the middle of the father and the son.

“A-A Yuan loves both rich gege and baba! A Yuan loves both!” The child cried out, throwing the phone to the ground, tears streaming down his face, trying to hide it, A Yuan covered his face.

Turning around to look at the father who started this whole thing, Lan Wangji stared daggers at him. It made the father giggle before picking the child from the other’s lap.

He held the crying child so tight in his arms, giving him a bear hug whispering, “It's okay A Yuan! I was only teasing! Baba is sorry he took it so far, now, now calm down so we can finally eat.”

“A Yuan loves both.” The child repeated, sniffing when his father also repeated. “Baba knows and he is sorry. I am so sorry baby it's okay you can love us both.”

“Do baba love both? Do baba love both A Yuan and rich gege?” The child innocently asked, making Lan Wangji turn his full attention to the other man who was also staring at him. And Lan Wangji knew. The man was going to tease the life out of him.

“Why don’t you ask rich gege? He will answer you right!” The father used the reverse uno card and played Lan Wangji again. As he expected.

Lan Wangji really wanted to scream. This man was dangerous.

“R-Rich gege hate baba?” The child asked after a while of silence, voice cracking at the idea, eyes ready to release more tears. It put Lan Wangji in a difficult spot. Eyes glancing at the father, Watching him fight his urge to laugh for the second time.

Their eyes won’t move from each other. Both stubborn staring, not giving the other a break. It was actually the father’s phone that broke their cat stares. The phone rang ,making both of their eyes go wide.

It was the melody. It was Lan Wangji melody. The one he made for someone special. Someone he loved and continued to love. His eyes were blurry. Hearing the melody that no one knew about except him and the one person he loves.

The person who suddenly disappeared for years with no trace of him whatsoever. Lan Wangji tried to look for him, tried to at least reach someone who knew about his whereabouts. But here he was, standing right in front of Lan Wangji's eyes. With a child in his arms.

There is no mistake. This man was indeed the one he looked for. The one he yearned for ever since he can remember. And it made Lan Wangji reach for his hand, taking his wrist, staring at his grey eyes.

“This song, How do you know it?” Lan Wangji watched every movement this man made. From the widen of his eyes to the open mouth. Lan Wangji didn't want him to assure him he was Wei Wuxian.

This song was only for them. It has to be him. No one else. He just wanted him to say. That Lan Wangji gave it to him.

“It was given to me once by someone I used to know.” The man finally gave the answer. The answer that made Lan Wangji take a deep breath, releasing his wrist, taking his leave to his room, closing the door behind him.

By someone he used to know. Not anyone, just someone.

That hurt Lan Wangji’s feelings. To hear the man he loves say it was from someone. Just someone with nothing to follow it. It made Lan Wangji sad.

He searched for his phone, only to realize he left it back in the living room. Sighing to himself he sat on the floor. Looking down at his hand. Why did he grab him like that? He couldn't recognize him so of course Wei Wuxian wouldn’t.

And he has a child. His own child. A child that calls him baba.

There was no chance for Lan Wangji even now. Yet he couldn’t just leave, not like this, not when he spent years looking everywhere for that man.

He just wants to make sure he is happy. Even if he remembers his confession that school night. Even if he was going to tease him about it. He just wants to see the man happy.

----------------------------

After Lan Wangji was sure he was calm and his emotions were under control, only then he decided to come out, walking back to the living room. When he walked in, he found A Yuan sitting quietly by his father's side, eating plain white rice.

When the child took notice of Lan Wangji, he turned tapping his father's thighs whispering loudly, “Baba! Rich gege is back.”

“Ah! Here you are! You had me worried! I am so sorry if we bothered you that much to the point where you had to leave and have your quiet moment! Both me and this one will be quiet from now on!” The man stood, walking toward Lan Wangji, his tone was indeed filled with worry.

“It’s fine. Do not worry about it” Lan Wangji went back to sitting on the chair, checking the still half written email on the screen.

“A Yuan , let's apologize to the rich gege.” The man did push the child toward Lan Wangji, looking at the small hand that offered a candy. Lan Wangji was speechless listening to the child speak. “A Yuan and baba are really sorry. Please rich gege don’t be upset.”

“I-I don’t think I introduced myself to you yet! The name is Wei Wuxian! This is my child Wei Yuan! But we call him A Yuan for short!” Wei Wuxian finally remembered his manner and intronde himself to Lan Wangji.

But it was too late. Lan Wangji has already figured out his name a while ago. Thanks to his ringtone being the song Lan Wangji made for him only.

“Lan Wangji. But you can call me Lan Zhan. Nice to meet you both.”

“Then call me Wei Ying in return!”

Looking at Wei Wixian, Lan Wangji could only nod, forcing his eyes back to the screen and started to type again. Soon after the sound around him was quiet without him actually noticing it.

He only raised his head again when his phone reminder went off. It was time to leave the room and head to court. He looked around, nor the father or the child were anywhere to be found.

Lan Wangji already informed the man that they will be taking the master bedroom. So there is nothing he should be worried about. He only left a note telling Wei Wuxian that there is an extra room card on the coffee table.

After that he took off to the court where he started doing his job slowly forgetting everything that happened today, his mind was occupied with the case, only relaxing when the judge gave full custody of two innocent children to their mother who couldn't afford a lawyer to help her take the children back.

Lan Wangji had made his name early on in his career. Earning the title of being where the chaos is, helping as many people as he can, never asking for money when he knows they can’t really afford to. Everyone called him the light of justice.

He only wants to make this world better. That's all he wants. It makes him happy every time he receives gifts from these people he helped. His brother, the head of the law firm was really proud of Lan Wangji from doing that. And standing up for that message. Help everyone in need. Money isn’t really everything in life.

His next case was scheduled the day after tomorrow. Then there is going to be a press conference where his brother is going to join him. It's been two weeks since the last time they saw each other. And Lan Wangji misses his brother.

Sighing when the elevator opened to the floor where Lan Wangji was staying, He walked, so much on his mind as he unlocked the hotel room, walking in and freezing on the spot.

A Yuan had his hands over his ears, looking at Wei Wuxian, The father was facing the child, His back was to Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian was holding something in his hand that seemed to make him struggle.

“NO! BABA!”

“A YUAN BE QUITE THEY CAN”T KNOW I SNEAK IT IN!”

“DON'T HOLD IT BY EARS BABA!”

Lan Wangji didn't know what to say. The click of the door closing made Wei Wuxian turn around, smiling so wide upon seeing the other man, he walked toward him and Lan Wangji watched in horror Wei Wuxian holding an alive rabbit by its ears.

“Lan Zhan! Look what we found! The poor thing was alone in the streets separated from his family! Isn’t he cute? Do you like him? Do you want him? I will give him to you if you say so!”

Lan Wangji heard every single word Wei Wuxian spoke to him. He just couldn't take his eyes off the poor bunny that was clearly struggling from the way that man held him.

“Ahahaha! Lan Zhan! You do want it! Your face screams you want! Take it! It's yours!” Wei Wuxian pushed the baby bunny to Lan Wangji's chest. Being overwhelmed, Lan Wangji held the bunny so protective, scratching the top of his head to calm it down and make it feel safer.

“Pets are prohibited in hotels.” Lan Wangji stared up at Wei Wuxian, watching the man huffs, responding, “Well they won’t know there is one unless someone tells them about it. Plus you love the fluffy thing already!”

Lan Wangji wore a scowl on his face. Slowly losing up when A Yuan approached him, asking if he could pat the bunny head and ask Lan Wangji if they also can feed it a carrot they bought on their way back from Dora the explorer themed park.

Loosening his tie and taking off his coat, Lan Wangji sat on the floor with A Yuan on his lap as they patted and fed the small bunny some carrots. A Yuan giggled everytime the bunny rubbed it face on him and shouted for the bunny to rub it face on Lan Wangji too.

What broke the moment for Lan Wangji is the sound of a camera clicking, alarming him that a photo was taken. Turning to look at Wei Wuxian who clearly took a picture of this sweet moment, having the softest smile on his face.

“It was so cute! Lan Zhan look at it! Just look!” Wei Wuxian approached them, sitting beside Lan Wangji, their shoulders touched when the man showed him the photo he just took.

Lan Wangji closed his eyes, taking in the soft scent of the man. It was a clean, flowery baby like smell. The same smell he always carried since he can remember. It's really funny to him, how Wei Wuxian looks out of place, hair flying to every direction, clothes covered in dirt, yet he smelled so clean and fresh.

“En. It's cute.” Lan Wangji didn't even look at the photo; he just kept staring at Wei Wuxian, watching his eyes spark so much joy when he turned his head to stare back at Lan Wangji.

“Give me your number so i can send it to you.” Wei Wuxian whispered, eyes not leaving Lan Wangji when he continued, “Only if you are okay with it of course.”

Being the weak man he is for Wei Wuxian, He gave him his number, trying to control his screams inside his head. When he finally sees the photo of himself and A Yuan sitting like father and son, playing with a baby bunny. He uncontrollably made it both his lockscreen and home wallpaper.

“You should put some heart around my name. It looks boring naming me just Wei Ying!!” Wei Wuxian commented when he caught Lan Wangji saving his number with just his name. taking the phone out of Lan Wangji’s hand, he typed something before handing it back.

🐰 🥰❤️❤️ Wei Ying is the best Wei Ying 🐰 🥰❤️❤️

“Ridiculous.” Lan Wangji told the man, watching him laugh so loud that all of the hotel residents must have heard it.

“You can change it if you want!” Wei Wuxian continued laughing, laying on the ground as he kept on laughing. Of course Lan Wangji knew he could change it if he wanted.

Dinner went by a blur. Lan Wangji sat at the table with the two, scolding Wei Wuxian every time he spoke with mouthful, teaching A Yuan some table manners. And most importantly enjoying the sweet moments Wei Wuxian shared with A Yuan. The child seemed to love his father so much. Most of his food was fed to his father while Wei Wuxian food was also mostly fed to A Yuan.

By the end of the dinner their play time started with Wei Wuxian chasing both A Yuan and the baby bunny through the honeymoon suite while Lan Wangji remained on the side, watching them go round and round until the child slipped and hit his head and ended up crying.

The hotel reception called two times to let them know that some people had already complained about the loud noises. Lan Wangji apologized and tried to control the situation but it was hard with how adorable A Yuan was acting sometimes. It didn't help that the father also was acting too cute.

Lan Wangji was simply doomed for a lifetime.

“I think he hit his head too hard. I am worried! Should we go to the hospital to get him checked? Oh no! What if he became dumber than me? What am I going to do? Oh no shit this is my fault! I should’ve listened to you and not chased after him!” Wei Wuxian panicked, watching the child being sleepy while laying in Lan Wangji lap.

“You are overreacting.” Lan Wangji traced the bump on the child forehead with his thumb, looking up at Wei Wuxian as if he was saying it was your fault, making Wei Wuxian panic even more.

“Its big bump! I dont think it's normal! A Yuan! Don’t leave baba alone!”

“It was a hard fall. It's normal.”

“W-What if he didn't wake up after this! How am I going to live without my child!”

“You are waking the child. lower your voice.”

“Lan Zhan!”

“Wei Ying.”

Wei Wuxian surrounded. Coming to sit beside Lan Wangji, kissing the child red bump, guilt filled his eyes, whispering sweet things to the child until A Yuan was deep asleep.

“It's going to be one nasty bump tomorrow.” Wei Wuxian sighed, standing up to look at Lan Wangji before opening his arms, “I will take him to bed. Thank you really Lan Zhan! You made him very happy when you let us stay with you!”

“Do not worry about it. Sleep well.” Lan Wangji also stood, arms were numb from holding the child for the past hour. He stayed in his spot until he made sure that Wei Wuxian was out of his sight.

Lan Wangji dropped to the couch, looking down to the sleeping bunny. He never thought this trip could take a very different route than he ever thought it would.

He didn’t really mind. At least now he knew, The one he loves is alive and happy. Even if Wei Wuxian no longer needs him in his life, Lan Wangji will be fine with it. All he will ever ask is for that man to be happy.

He wasn’t aware that in the midst of his thoughts, he fell asleep. It was the whispers and soft blanket that jogged him out of his sleep. Looking up, he was greeted by, fresh out of shower , Wei Wuxian. Hair still very wet, covering him with the blanket from their own room.

“Wasn’t planning on waking you. You looked too tired yesterday.” Wei Wuxian smiled. A Yuan was right beside him, looking at Lan Wangji, sippy cup in his hand.

“Rich gege! You can take A Yuan juice!” The child did indeed offer the blue themed bunny sippy cup to Lan Wangji. Warmth spreading in his chest upon seeing such a sweet action.

“A Yuan if you give rich gege your cup he will become sick and will not feel well” Wei Wuxian of course started teasing the poor child.

“B-But baba says juice first before food! Rich gege needs juice!” The child stuttered, eyes filling with tears. Lan Wangji wondered if the child's tears were always looking out for a way to escape.

“I’m okay. Baba right. Juice first before food.” Lan Wangji confirmed Wei Wuxian’s words that he told the child. Standing up, having a sore neck for sleeping in a wrong position, Lan Wangji sighed.

He was glad he didn’t have any court business to do today. He only needed to look at duccoment and review his next case. It was still going to be a long day staring at his laptop screen.

Looking down at his feet, Lan Wangji smiled. The small bunny came and took a seat on top of Lan Wangji’s right feet. Bending down, he picked the small bunny. Being fully aware that if the hotel finds out Wei Wuxian has sneak in an animal they are going to be kicked out without a doubt.

“Rich gege hungry? Baba made pancakes! They are spicy!” A Yuan tugged Lan Wangji’s suit pants, wanting the adult's full attention on him now that he was awake.

“Shower first. Then breakfast.” Lan Wangji had no trouble picking the child up to hold him along with the bunny that nuzzled to his chest. The bunny must have been fed by the father and son. It showed when his small stomach was sticking out.

Lan Wangji needs to teach Wei Wuxian how to actually take care of bunnies. Over feeding them is not a good habit. But for now he will be quiet until he catches the man in action.

Entering the room, Lan Wangji lowered both the child and the bunny on the bed. Making sure to do it slowly so he won’t scare the bunny. Watching the small bunny snuggle close to the child, falling back asleep, Lan Wangji stood, turning to his travel bag, looking though it for a change of clothes.

“Rich gege.” Humming at the child calling for him, Lan Wangji kept digging though his bag, not really in the mood to wear a suit since he was going to be sitting inside working all day.

“Baba said we can’t invite you to go with us today. But A Yuan really wants the rich gege to come and see Disneyland.” The child confessed. His tone was a mix of sad and disappointed.

“Disneyland?” Lan Wangji wondered what kind of place that was. He knows it has to be children themed for this child to really want to go there.

Lan Wangji didn't really get to go to these types of places when he was younger. The only place he went to was the playground. He didn’t really like it. So his uncle never took him back to it. Instead he visited all the libraries in Gusu Lan to read books.

It was hard growing up with only his brother and uncle. But Lan Wangji didn’t mind. Actually, he loved his childhood. Even if there were heart aching memories of his mother dying and never opening her door for him again.

“They have giant Mickey mouse! Candy! A-And, And… A Yuan doesn't know but we are going today and Baba said it's okay if you want to come but he can’t ask you because you have adult things to do!” The excited child went off. Telling Lan Wangji everything he knew. It was adorable. Lan Wangji has to admit, watching the child try his best to hear the yes word.

“En. I will come with you and your baba.” And that meant Lan Wangji had to wear the actual suit he didn't think he would have a moment ago. He needs to make this work somehow. He was going to go with Wei Wuxian and his child. He needs to make this special for the both of them.

The child started screaming. It startled both Lan Wangji and the poor bunny. It made Lan Wangji scold the child, “Loud noises are prohibited.”

The child quiet down, eyes looking at Lan Wangji, straighten his back, the child responds just like Lan Wangji would, “En. will not do it again.”

Lan Wangji wanted to protect this child. He has fallen into the trap. This child is indeed too cute and can ask Lan Wangji to give his heart to him, and Lan Wangji would do just that.

“What are the loud noises about? I hope you two aren’t having fun without me!” Walking into the room, Wei Wuxian looked at both Lan Wangji and A Yuan.

“Baba! Rich gege said he would come with us to Disneyland.” A Yuan spoke, voice all calm and quiet just like what Lan Wangji would use.

“A Yuan! I told you we can’t annoy rich gege! He already allowed us to stay here to visit Disneyland! He has work to do baby now so let's go eat before heading out.” Wei Wuxian sighed, opening his arms for the child.

“It's fine Wei Ying. I want to go.” Lan Wangji defended the child, finally getting the suit out of the bag and laying it on the bed. Beside the child and the still sleeping bunny.

“En! En!” The child repeated, running to his father, clinging to his leg.

“I can’t believe this. He managed to convince you so easily and you managed to influence him this fast Lan Zhan! He doesn't take quite a liking to someone that easy! You are special!” Wei Wuxian picked the child up, looking at Lan Wangji with a warm smile.

“Loud noises are prohibited baba.” The child scolded the father. It was the most amusing thing Lan Wangji had ever witnessed. Now it was Lan Wangji's time to hold his quiet huff of a laugh.

“Excuse you! Are you scolding your own father?” Offended, Wei Wuxian stared at Lan Wangji. Shifting his eyes from the child to the other male when both of them kept quiet.

“I see how this is going to be! Okay then no loud noises no speaking only tickling!” Wei Wuxian attacked his child, fingers digging into the child’s side, tickling him too fast, the child could only laugh and tug at his father to stop.

Moments like these need to be captured secretly. Lan Wangji took a quiet photo, nor the child or the father noticed his action. This was his new background now.

After the tickling game Wei Wuxian and A Yuan had, they left the room so Lan Wangji could finally shower and change into a new set of clothes while the bunny remained asleep the whole time.

Drying his short hair, Lan Wangji left the room with the awake, small bunny trailing after him. He walked to the living room to see the food was on the table, A Yuan was in Wei Wuxian lap as he was being fed the rice, cartoon on the big displayed Tv.

“Rich gege!” The child was excited upon seeing Lan Wangji, sitting straight in his father's lap, smiling from ear to ear.

“No speaking during meal time.” Lan Wangji scolded the child, sitting on the other side on the table, he looked at food that was ordered from the hotel. Warm green tea was waiting for him and Wei Wuxian pushed it toward his right hand.

The whole thing felt so natural to do. Lan Wangji passing tussie to Wei Wuxian so he can wipe the child face. Wei Wuxian put more vegetables on Lan Wangji bowl. And Lan Wangji passed every spicy thing toward Wei Wuxian because he was the only one who could eat such a thing.

Wei Wuxian only spoke when A Yuan swallowed his food, the conversation was all about the cartoon. Sometimes it's about how excited A Yuan is for Disneyland.

After a while Lan Wangji noticed that Wei Wuxian bowl was still full. He only touched it a couple of times, foucing on feeding A Yuan. It made Lan Wangji scowled for a bit. Wei Wuxian wasn’t paying attention to it. So Lan Wangji sighed, putting his spoon down.

“Eat. I will continue.” Lan Wangji took the spoon out of Wei Wuxian's hand, patting his own lap, watching A Yuan go to him so fast, crashing into the side chair before Lan Wangji helped him up.

“Lan Zhan you also need to eat! And A Yuan come back let rich gege eat in peace!” Wei Wuxian whined, patting his lap trying to draw the child back to it. But the child stayed in Lan Wangji lap, eyes glued to the Tv screen ignoring his father's words.

“It's okay. I have eaten. You haven’t touched your food much. Eat.” Lan Wangji put the bowl of rice down when he took notice of the child not really wanting to eat more.

“En. Eat baba!” A Yuan supported Lan Wangji's words. Shaking his head, Wei Wuxian laughed, “Ah, see Lan Zhan, He is copying you!”

“No talking during meals baba!” The child scolded and the father broke out, fits of laughter escaped him, not being able to hold himself up, Wei Wuxian fell to his side, laughing out.

“Sit properly and eat.” Lan Wangji sighed, watching a still laughing Wei Wuxian try to sit straight but only to fail and go back to laying on the floor, his laughter filled the silence in the room.

Lan Wangji had to ignore him until he calmed down. From his memoirs of them sharing the same classroom back in highschool, once Wei Wuxian laughed it was hard to snap him out of it.

And it seems that the child also was aware about that habit. A Yuan stayed quiet, back straight, watching Wei Wuxian laugh alongside Lan Wangji. The only time Lan Wangji looked away is when he felt the bunny paws on his feet, bending down to give him some extra fresh cut vegetables that were served on the table.

“Like father like son huh? You two are just wow.” Wei Wuxian stopped laughing by then. Sitting straight, eating his food, eyes watching every move both A Yuan and Lan Wangji made when they started to feed the bunny and had gone to get a bowl of water for it.

Cleaning up the table and making sure to put all the dishes on the tray right outside of their suite, Lan Wangji smiled at excited A Yuan telling him that they are going to Disneyland very soon.

Lan Wangji can’t get enough of watching this child being happy. Running in a circle with a small bunny trailing behind him after Wei Wuxian went to take a shower, leaving A Yuan in the hands of Lan Wangji.

He didn’t mind. He actually listened to every word the child told him. A Yuan said that Wei Wuxian really looked forward to this trip and visiting Disneyland since he too had never visited it before.

Lan Wangji couldn't figure out what Wei Wuxian's job was. All he knows is that A Yuan spent time in a nursery when his father had to work. It made Lan Wangji curios. He knew that Wei Wuxian wanted to open his own restaurant one day, but also wanted to be a kindergarten teacher.

Both suited the man really well. He just hoped that Wei Wuxian achieved one of his dreams.

By the time Wei Wuxian finished his shower and got dressed, both him and Lan Wangji ended up helping A Yuan dress him. The child was stressed about what to wear thinking that both of the adults had planned their outfit together.

Lan Wangji wore a light blue dress shirt with a dark blue suit. Wei Wuxian wore a dark blue jacket with a dark red shirt and black pants. Lan Wangji didn’t really understand why A Yuan thought they planned their outfit when it was different.

Wei Wuxian pointed to the dark blue both wore. And it ends up with A Yuan wearing his dark blue overall with a red mickey mouse shirt under. Lan Wangji watched Wei Wuxian pack a light blue jacket for the child in case the weather got harsher since they were in the middle of autumn.

“You don't really have to come, you know? I know you are here on a business trip not a vacation Lan Zhan.” Wei Wuxian whispered to him, letting Lan Wangji pack more snacks for the child.

“I want this.” Lan Wangji told him, taking the bag off Wei Wuxian’s hand after making sure he sat food and water for the small bunny, soft blanket to sleep on and a board for the bunny to use as a toilet.

He then walked to A Yuan, the child raised his arms, asking to be picked up by Lan Wangji. And the man did just that, picking the child up and holding him tight, turning around to look at Wei Wuxian, asking, “Are you ready?”

“Lan Zhan oh Lan Zhan I am ready let's go to Disneyland!” Wei Wuxian excitedly announced, the child cheered, and Lan Wangji smiled. They walked out of the hotel like that. The excitement spirits were high with each turn they took until Disneyland was spotted by the window where Lan Wangji sat in the cab they took.

“A Yuan! It's Disneyland look!” Wei Wuxian pointed at it, watching the child turn his head quickly to look at it and shout in excitement, hands curling around Lan Wangji neck, asking, “Rich gege! Can we get candy! Lots of them! And toys! A Yuan wants mickey ears!”

Offended, Wei Wuxian poked the child’s cheek, “Hey! I am your father! You should ask me! Or is this because you know he is rich and you want to get everything I can't buy for you?”

“Baba never buys A Yuan lots of toys.” The child mutters, hiding his face in shame between Lan Wangji's neck and shoulder. He hid harder when he heard Wei Wuxian say, “unbelievable.”

“Stop teasing the child Wei Ying.” Lan Wangji reminded him. Patting A Yuan back, trying to comfort the child. Wei Wuxian huffed, hand fluffed the child's hair.

“Baby look at me. I was only teasing, I won't do it again! I will buy you three candies!” Wei Wuxian promised. Trying to get A Yuan to come out of his hiding spot. But it only made the child cling tighter to Lan Wangji's neck, whispering, “Rich gege will buy A Yuan more.”

“Is he going to be your new baba?” Wei Wuxian teased, Earning a warning glance from Lan Wangji. The child turned his head, looking between the two before whispering, “Both are A Yuan babas.”

“Hahahahahaha! Lan Zhan congratulation you are also his papa now.” Wei Wuxian continued to laugh, his stomach hurts from laughing too hard. Lan Wangji just held the child closer, avoiding the glances he got from the cab driver.

Lan Wangji ears were bright red. It was pointed out by Wei Wuxian poking them, “So red oh my god you like the idea Lan Zhan stop i'm going to die from laughing.”

“Stop laughing then.” Lan Wangji replied. Feeling embarrassed by his own ears exposing him like that.

The child was clueless to the whole thing and only spoke when they reached their destination, “Baba! Rich gege! We're here!”

Lan Wangji had to force himself to calm down, helping the child out of the car, The bag that held all A Yuan needs was thrown over his shoulder, waiting for Wei Wuxian to stand by his side before walking to the gate. Lan Wanjgi knew this was going to be a very long day.

Wei Wuxian also knew that. He watched Lan Wangji struggle to keep the child on track after passing the gate after insisting to pay. They had a silent fight, Wei Wuxian wanted to pay at least for A Yuan pass but the whole thing ended up with Lan Wangji handing his credit card before the total was known.

Wei Wuxian couldn’t be mad, the victory look that was on the Lan Wangji face was just amusing. Of course he couldn't understand why a complete stranger offered to buy expensive tickets and a child pass for two people he just met.

But then he watched the man with his child, walking around, listening to every word A Yuan speaks. It warmed Wei Wuxian’s heart. Of course Wei Wuxian knew that was Lan Wangji from the moment he saw him.

The very moment where they both stood in front of the reception desk. He knew that was his still ongoing love. He was glad that Lan Wangji didn't recognize him.

Wei Wuxian was aware of the fact that Lan Wangji hates him. The man stopped coming to classes because of Wei Wuxian, and even moved away when they were in their second year of highschool.

The day Wei Wuxian lost his sister and adoptive parents. It was a hard year. Wei Wuxian didn't even finish his studies. He just went off his own. All the trouble and heartache he faced alon, It led him straight to A Yuan.

A Yuan was Wei Wuxian’s sunshine. That child got Wei Wuxian through a lot. It got him through late night working shifts, Tough night sleep. A Yuan was all Wei Wuxian’s had left in this world.

“Baba! Baba! Mickey ears!”

Snapping out of his thoughts, Wei Wuxian looked at the source of the voice, A Yuan on Lan Wangji arm, smiling too bright, replacing the sun job. It was the bright red of the Mickey ears that drew Wei Wuxian's attention to Lan Wangji's head.

He couldn't hold his laughter when he realized that Lan Wangji fell into A Yuan trap of making him wear one. It was quite the sight. Lan Wangji stood there wearing a suit that made him look too good for Wei Wuxian's heart. With a mickey mouse ears added for it to end Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian had to take a quick photo, and laugh even more when A Yuan caught his father's action and posed for the photo, hugging Lan Wangji's neck, smiling brightly for the camera as Wei Wuxian took the photo.

“Lan zhan you look so cute oh my god! This has to win the cutest photo of this year! Even your ears are matching it ahahahah!” Wei Wuxian turned his phone to the other male, showing him the photo he just took.

“Yours.” Lan Wangji placed the same mickey mouse ears on top of Wei Wuxain’s head. clapping his hand together, the child cheered, “Baba! We are all matchy matchy!”

“Are we now?” Wei Wuxian couldn’t help but smile when Lan Wangji replied. “En. We match.”

Is it okay for him to feel this happy? Is it okay for him to enjoy this just for a little while? Wei Wuxian wondered, linking arms with Lan Wangji, avoiding his gaze that burned fire.

They walked like that around the park. Weii Wuxian never broke their linked arms. He used the excuse of it being super busy and the chance of him losing them was high. A Yuan cried at the idea for ten minutes, freaking out both men.

It was silently said that they won’t break apart not for one second. Lan Wangji had good grip on the child and his father. He made sure to push Wei Wuxian in front of him when they needed to pass by a crowd.

With time passing, With them doing so many things together, Wei Wuxian slowly loosen up, teasing both the child and the man. Standing in front of the candy shop Wei Wuxian teased the child by asking him what he wanted to actually laugh at and move away from the shop, not buying him anything.

“You asked him.” Lan Wangji scolded. Patting the crying child back after buying him all the candies that were on sale from that shop.

“Asking and buying is two different things.” Wei Wuxian joined the male on patting the child back, kissing A Yuan head, “It's okay baby rich gege bought you all the candies! Say thank you to him when you finish eating okay?”

“Baba a meanie.” muttering, the child decided that he wants to cling into his father, shifting his weight from Lan Wangji to Wei Wuxian, A Yuan held onto his father so tight. It made Wei Wuxian smile so bright.

“Now, Now Baba is very sorry. Can A Yuan forgive his baba?” Going along with the child, Wei Wuxian rocked A Yuan in his arms, watching Lan Wangji still patting the child’s back.

“Don’t go to uncle tomorrow.” A Yuan whispered out of nowhere. Wei Wuxian stomach dropped. He sighed, kissing the child's head again. “Baba needs to see him tomorrow. But it's only for a few hours we have adult matters to discuss.”

Wei Wuxian could see curiousatily in Lan Wangji eyes. There was a hint of worry too. Wei Wuxian shakes his head at him, telling him they would talk about this later when the child wasn’t paying attention.

“A Yuan wants baba to be happy.” That statement made both Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji soften.

“Ayia A Yuan… Baba also wants A Yuan to be happy! Now that we are visiting the place you wanted to visit the most lets be happy and go around okay? Let go see everything and eat everything! I will pay for all I promise this time I will stop teasing and buy you anything you want!” Wei Wuxian pinched A Yuan cheek, kissing it and lowering him to the ground.

Taking his hand, Wei Wuxian pointed at everything and anything so the child could get distracted. It worked for half an hour. For a while Wei Wuxian kept losing Lan Wangji in the crowd, both him and the child freaked out.

“Baba! Hold rich gege hands too!” A Yuan advised. Pointing at Lan Wangji hand. Wei Wuxian swallowed hard, looking at Lan Wangji, then laughs nervously, “Lan Zhan are you okay with that?”

Lan Wangji's face was so calm, offering his hand to Wei Wuxian, holding his large hand made Wei Wuxian feel unbelievably warm. He wanted to scream out. A Yuan was clueless to both adults' red faces.

Wei Wuxian cheeks were flushed red as Lan Wangji’s ears. They are hopeless. Both know they are doing it because they are scared to lose each other and also for A Yuan too.

Both believed that the other hated them. Yet none of them let go of the other hand.

A Yuan managed to convince the two adults to ride with him on the teacup ride. Wei Wuxian spins them way too fast, laughing the whole time. A Yuan held tight to Lan Wangji arm, scared he was going to fall, A Yuan tried to get his father to stop.

“Ahahahaha that was so fun!” Wei Wuxian turned around to look at Lan Wangji kneeling down with A Yuan in his arms, both were too dizzy to look at the man. Wei Wuxian continued to laugh. “Oh my god i am going to buy water wait here you two!”

“Wait! D-do you have money?” Lan Wangji managed to speak, not really wanting Wei Wuxian to get lost in the crowds again.

“If i say no, will you give me your card then?” Wei Wuxian teased, eating his own words when Lan Wangji reached into his pocket, getting the credit card out of it and handing it to Wei Wuxian.

“Lan Zhan!” Wei Wuxian wanted to hand it back. But Lan Wangji just ignored him. Wei Wuxian really did only buy two water bottles and hand the man his card back.

“Baba no more teacup rides.” The child hoped. Drinking more water.

“Yes. No more teacup rides.” Lan Wangji assured. Wei Wuxian laughed, teasing, “You are his baba now Lan Zhan?”

“Wei Ying.” Lan Wangji warned. He made sure A Yuan drank more water and was perfectly fine standing on his own.

“A Yuan hungry.” The child announced, clinging to Lan Wangji's neck. Wei Wuxian huffed, trying to get the child to cling onto him instead. “A Yuan baby let me carry you. Rich gege had carried you so much today its baba turn now.”

“It's fine, Wei Ying. I don't mind.” Lan Wangji told him, keeping the child in his arms. Wei Wuxian didn't like that. He knows the longer he carries the child, the more his arms will hurt at the end of the day.

“Well at least give me the bag to carry at least!” Wei Wuxian tugged at the bad, taking it from Lan Wangji and carrying it himself. At least now he won’t feel that guilty.

As promised, they found a place to eat. Wei Wuxian filled the room with chatter. Mostly teasing his child for copying all of Lan Wangji’s moves and speech pattern.

Stepping out of the restrand, Wei Wuxian realized that the sun had set and night time was here. He breathed the cold air, closing his eyes for a moment. It felt nice. The whole trip was really nice. He got to see Lan Wangji once more. Even if the man didn’t really recognize him.

“Do you wish to go back?” Lan Wangji asked, catching Wei Wuxian in the moment he just had. Turning his head, Wei Wuxian looked at the sleepy child in the man’s arms. He figured going back is a must. The child can’t take more playing.

“Lets head back. A Yuan seems sleepy. There is nothing left to do too.” Wei Wuxian waited for Lan Wangji before starting to walk beside him. Lan Wangji was scowling, turning to look at Wei Wuxian, “There are fireworks about to start.”

“Do you want to watch them?” Wei Wuxian wondered. He wasn’t really interested in such a thing. Plus the child had always been scared of them so he figured they won’t be here when it happens anyway. Unless Lan Wangji wants to see it.

“Do you?” Lan Wangji asked back. Wei Wuxian giggled, accidently pushing his shoulder to touch Lan Wangji’s own shoulder. Ignoring what he just did Wei Wuxian answered. “It's fine plus A Yuan get really scared of loud noises.”

Walking in comfortable silence, Wei Wuxian stuck close to the man beside him. A Yuan has long fallen asleep with the light blue jacket covering him from winter air. Wei Wuxian smiled all the way back to the main entrance and smiled more even in the cab when Lan Wangji continued to keep the child asleep on his chest.

Wei Wuxian was really tired. He rested his head back, not realizing when he fell asleep until a gentle touch on his thighs made him open his eyes to meet Lan Wangji’s golden ones.

“We are getting off here. We will walk through the park for a bit to wake the child so he can have dinner.” Lan Wangji softly told him. Wei Wuxian didn’t realize that he was sleeping on the man's shoulder the whole time.

“Yea, okay, okay.” Wei Wuxian rubs his eyes out of sleep, stepping out of the cab and walking beside Lan Wangji, sleep trying to get the best of him again.

Sleep was long forgotten when a bark echoed through the park, making Wei Wuxian shriveled from fear, arms wrapped about the man beside him, his whole body shaked, “Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan.”

Holding tight into the man, face buried between his shoulders blade. Threatened by the sound of a barking dog, Wei Wuxian whimpered, tears packed in his eyes, flashbacks of childhood went through his head.

Lan Wangji froze, feeling the arms of the man he loves, hearing the sound of his name being called in panic. The child head picked up, waking from his haze of sleep, eyes wide, wiggling to be lowered to the ground.

Lan Wangji lowered the child but kept an arm around him, making sure to have the other arm wrapped around Wei Wuxian, Pulling him closer to his side, hugging him so tight. “Wei Ying I am here. You are safe.”

“Go away! Shush! Away! Baba is scared!” The child yelled once the dog came to his sight, wanting to chase it away but Lan Wangji arm took a hold of the child, keeping him close so he won’t lose him.

“Lan Zhan send it away Lan Zhan please Lan Zhan.” Wei Wuxian whispered, pushing even more into Lan Wangji's side, seeking comfort, a hideaway from the dog that barked even higher now.

Lan Wangji gave one glance at the dog, watching it flop down, tail stop wagging as if it could read the threats in Lan Wangji eyes. The owner soon came for the dog apologizing for the whole thing and explains that the dog broke off the leash and went on its own.

“It's no longer here Wei Ying. You are safe, it's okay.” Lan Wangji assured him, arm still wrapped protectively around the other male.

Wei Wuxian took a few moments, trying to calm himself down, looking up at Lan Wangji. He no longer had doubts about the man rogenazing him, not when the man started humming the song he gave to Wei Wuxian years ago.

At that moment Wei Wuxian asked, “How did you recognize me?”

“You told me yourself.” Lan Wangji simply answered.

“It's okay baba! The dog is away! A Yuan and rich gege are here!” The child held onto the end of his father's coat, trying to bring his attention to him. And it worked, Wei Wuxian kneeled down, hugging the child to his chest. “You did good baby! You protect me, thank you.”

“En! En! A Yuan will always protect his baba!” The child hugged back. Sleep has seemed long faded from both the child and the father.

They walked to the hotel in silence. Both Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian had so much on their mind. The silence wasn’t uncomfortable, actually A Yuan took charge of the conversation, telling them everything they did that day.

Opening the suite door, Wei Wuxian lowered the child to the ground, watching A Yuan run inside, looking for the small bunny to make sure that it was still alive.

Turning around, Wei Wuxian watched Lan Wangji lock the door behind them, putting the card on the table, hanging both his and the child’s coat. Wei Wuxian played with the end of his coat, “Thank you for everything Lan Zhan.”

Lan Wangji looked at him for a moment and nodded. “It was my pleasure.”

Without thinking Wei Wuxian smiled, raising to his tip toe, leaving a peck on the man's cheek. Eyes widened to the realization of his action, Wei Wuxian's face turned red, struggling to turn around, hitting his head on the end of the coat hanger.

“I-I will check on A Yuan and your bunny!” With that Wei Wuxian was out of Lan Wangji sight. The man stood still, blinking more, hand reaching to where Wei Wuxian had just kissed him.

Lan Wangji never wanted to smack himself unconscious, until this very moment. His heart was beating so fast and loud. His ears were flushed red. He just wanted to kiss Wei Wuxian’s lips.

But he would never do anything to make Wei Wuxian uncomfortable. So he settled for the cheek peck. He was happy with that and the hand holding that happened today.

It made Lan Wangji lay on his bed with a smile. In the next room Wei Wuxian layed in bed with his face buried into the pillow. He couldn't believe how much he wanted to kiss Lan Wangji lips and have the man hands on him. It drove him insane.

Both of them had a hard time falling asleep while A Yuan was clueless about it until the mooring where they sat on the table together. A Yuan shifted his eyes from his dad to Lan Wangji and then to the small bunny that was laying on Lan Wangji lap.

Wei Wuxian was the first one to break the awkward silence. “Lan Zhan can I ask for a favor?”

“Anything.” Lan Wangji replied immediately without much thinking. He will do whatever Wei Wuxian asks. Without questions.

“I have to visit my brother for something urgent today and A Yuan doesn't really like being around him because I'm sure you remember how Jiang Chang is. So could you keep a look out for him?” Wei Wuxian watched A Yuan pout at the mention of his uncle's name.

“I have a case and brother is visiting for a press conference later today. I can take him with me if you don't mind.” Lan Wangji put his spoon down, stroking the sleepy bunny stomach. He still can’t believe how no one noticed there was an animal here. But Lan Wangji's name was known in this hotel.

No one really wanted to mess with the Lans. He was just worried about how he was going to sneak this fluffy thing out with him when he leaves tomorrow.

He didn’t really think about when Wei Wuxian and A Yuan were going to leave or where they even lived. He knows they are here to visit Disneyland and from the look of it Wei Wuxian needed to speak with his brother.

“Would you like to spend the day with rich gege A Yuan?” Wei Wuxian also put his spoon down, slowly taking some habits from Lan Wangji just like how the child does. And Lan Wangji was very glad for that. The chaos was still an ongoing thing but it had calmed down a bit.

“En! A Yuan loves rich gege! A Yuan wants to spend the day with rich gege!” A Yuan approved. Looking really excited about the idea and without a fuss he went with Wei Wuxian to change out of his pjs.

“A Yuan, don’t trouble rich gege today okay? Listen to everything he tells you and behave alright?” Wei Wuxian closed the last button in the child coat. Making sure he looked well dressed.

“En! A Yuan will be a good boy! Baba don't be sad okay?” A Yuan patted his father's head. Hoping that his father won’t come back to him sad like he always does on the same day. That's why A Yuan dislikes his uncle.

“Aiya! You are so cute. How can I be sad when I get to come back to my precious boy!” Wei Wuxian pulled the child to his chest, hugging him so tight, so close, kissing the crown of his head.

Leaving the room, Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji holding the phone to his ear, speaking to the person on the other line, “En. I will be there in a few minutes. try to calm him down.”

“Work problem?” Wei Wuxian couldn't help but ask, putting his coat on.

“En. The father is scared of losing his only child. He came a long way.” Lan Wangji explained, placing the phone in his bag along with the laptop and some documents he needed for today.

“What happened to the mother?” Wei Wuxian wondered.

“What happened to your child mother.” Lan Wangji let out. He had to watch Wei Wuxian break into another fit of laughter, dropping to the floor, scaring A Yuan and the poor bunny, who took off running, hiding in Lan Wangji room.

“Oh my god lan zhan! You thought oh my god hahaha you thought I am that irresponsible I can’t Lan Zhan I can’t ahahaha” Wei Wuxian continued to laugh. A Yuan held onto Lan Wangji pants, watching his father on the floor laughing.

“Is baba dying?” The child wondered, hand tightening around Lan Wangji pants. Lan Wangji sighed, eyesing watching Wei Wuxian calming down, reaching a hand to help Wei Wuxian stand up.

“I adopted him. I can’t believe oh my god hahaha you thought i knocked someone and they left me and the child! Lan Zhan you are so cute oh my god hahaha” Wei Wuxian's head was on Lan Wangji’s chest. Getting the support he needs to stand up, Wei Wuxian continued to laugh.

Lan Wangji was embarrassed. “Stop laughing.”

“Okay, Okay I will stop only because you are so cute when you look embarrassed!” Wei Wuxian pinched Lan Wangji's cheek, and continued to laugh as he walked to the entrance.

Lan Wangji stood there, eyes wide, touching his cheek to make sure what that man did was real. First a kiss now he got pinched, his ears flushed bright red and ignored the child asking why it suddenly turned that red.

----------------------------

Carrying A Yuan in his arms, Lan Wangji walked inside the count. Eyes were on him with each step he took. A Yuan held onto him tighter when he noticed the stares, hiding his face in Lan Wangji neck, seeking comfort.

“It's alright. Do not worry no one will harm me.” Lan Wangji assured the child. It only made the child cling tighter to him.

“Wangji?”

Lan Wangji turned around, looking at his brother slicked back hair, white suit, bag in his hand. Arriving just now. His brother's eyes were on the child.

“Brother.” Lan Wangji greeted back. A Yuan peeked his head to look at the so-called brother. The child giggled. Earning the attention of the two. “Rich gege has a twin!”

“Older brother. I am younger, we look alike.” Lan Wangji spoke softly and it made Lan Xichen, Lan Wangji’s older brother raise an eyebrow at how soft the tone was.

“En! You look alike! A Yuan wants a brother too!” The child expressed his wishes. Smile on his face at the idea. The corner of Lan Wangji's mouth carved up into a smile. “Let's ask your father later when we see him.”

Lan Xichen watched the whole interaction. Not speaking a single word, he just kept watching his younger brother and this mystress child asking if the small bunny will be okay on its own.

“Brother can you look after him?” Lan Wangji asked, hand holding the child's small hands. Not wanting to take the child inside to witness the case.

“Yeah of course! It will take you time so i will just sit outside the usual spot. When you finished come find us Wangji.” Lan Xichen smilled. Looking at the child clinging to his brother's leg.

“R-Rich gege.” The child whispered. Being too scared of being alone. Lan Wangji had a pout on his face. “Only for a bit. Brother won’t harm you.”

Trusting his words, A Yuan let go of his leg, standing to look at Lan Xichen. He gave the child the softest smile, speaking, “Hello nice to meet you I am Lan Xichen, Wangji’s older brother.”

“H-Hi i am A Yuan n-nice to meet you.” bowing a bit, A Yuan closed his eyes, shyness washed over him.

“He is so precious.” Lan Xichen pointed out, taking the bag Lan Wangji offered. Lan Wangji nodded and pointed to the bag and explained, “It has snacks and his coat and a coloring book.”

“Don’t worry we will get along fine. Good luck on your case!” Lan Xichen offered his hand to the child. hesitated, A Yuan took it and watched Lan Wangji fluff his hair before taking his leave inside one of the rooms in the court.

It took half an hour for the child to feel comfortable and start engaging with Lan Xichen. Both of them had the fresh cut apple that Lan Wangji packed and enjoyed coloring in the book that was included inside the bag.

Lan Xichen learned that A Yuan is five years old. He loved apples and Disney. He also loves whoever his father is. The child spoek about him with full pride, telling Lan Xichen everything he did, from building A Yuan a swing from scratch to painting the whole room Disney themed.

Lan Xichen looked forward to meeting the child’s father. The man sound like a hard worker. He still hasn't figured out Lan Wangji relationship with both the father and this child.

He knows his brother was never interested in anyone beside the one man who broke his heart. To see his brother gaining attention toward someone else made Lan Xichen happy.

He can’t see Lan Wangji float in the work world anymore. He can’t watch his brother play that one song he wrote over and over when he longs for the past.

He knew that his brother was so in love with that man. Yet he hoped one day he would see his brother moved on and happy. Since they couldn't find any trace of the man Lan Wangji loved.

“A Yuan wants his baba to be happy. A Yuan doesn't want baba to suffer anymore.” The child whispered his last words, coloring the grass. The wish of the child made Lan Xichen smile.

“They say if you wish upon seeing a shooting star, it will be granted.” Lan Xichen told his uncle words. The same words he told them when they were younger. The child stared up at Lan Xiche, asking, “Gege. will baba be happy with rich gege?”

“Ah! I haven’t met your father yet so you have to tell me if my brother will be happy with your baba.” He teased, wanting to see what this child thought of the two together.

“A Yuan thinks baba is happy seeing rich gege! Baba no longer tossed a lot when A Yuan tried to sleep. Baba smiles a lot and pinch rich gege cheeks! A Yuan can’t understand much of what they say” The child chatted. Lan Xichen listened to every word he spoke.

Giggling at the idea of his little brother getting his cheek pinched by someone other than Lan Xichen himself. It made Lan Xichen happy. Lan Wangji trusts that person so much he allows himself to have fun.

“Gege! Look baba is here!” The child spoke, eyes sparked with so much joy. Dropping the color pen, A Yuan jumped out of his chair, running toward the man dressed in red and black.

Lan Xichen had to do a double take. Eyes staring at the man. He recognized him immediately. He would recognize that man anywhere, anytime. It's the same man who broke his young brother's heart.

The same man who made Lan Wangji break all rules, fight with their uncle and almost got kicked out of school and their household. The same very man who made Lan Wangji start drinking. The same man his younger brother longed for.

“Did you miss your baba? See I am here. I told you it won’t take long! Did you behave well? Are you alone or is Lan Zhan with you?” Wei Wuxian tickled a hair strand behind the child's ear, looking at A Yuan with a fond look.

“Rich gege is working so A Yuan is spending time with rich gege brother!” A Yuan raised both of his hands, silently asking to be picked up by his father. Wei Wuxian did what the child wanted, picking him up, pushing his cheek against the child.

“I missed my baby! I missed him so much!” Wei Wuxian rubs their cheeks together making the child giggle. Pulling away to look at his father's red eyes. He knew without asking that his father had cried.

“Wei Wuxian.” Lan Xichen called. Wei Wuxian turned to stare at him. Wei Wuxian felt nervous, looking at Lan Wangji older brother with calm face expressions. “Brother Lan! It's been a while.”

“Indeed it's been a while. I see you have been doing well.” Lan Xichen spoke with a calm tone. No smile, no nodding. It scared Wei Wuxian how alike the two brothers looked. If Lan Xichen stood beside Lan Wangji with this exact expression no one would tell them apart.

“Yeah I have been well. Lan Zhan has been kind to us letting us share the room with him and spend some equal time with us as well.” Wei Wuxian didn't know why he just told Lan Xichen that. As if he was assuring Lan Xichen that his brother was in safe hands.

“I see that both you and Wangji have found each other and sorted things out. I am quite happy even if you have brought pain to his life. At least now he has the world he longed for in his hands again.” Lan Xichen smiled this time.

“The world he longed for?” Wei Wuxian wondered. Blinking in confusion. Not understanding what Lan Xichen was implying.

“You have spent quite the time with my brother yet… You do not know of his feelings?” Lan Xichen was confused as well. From what he heard from the child, he knew that they had spent quite awful lots of time together.

“Feelings? Brother Lan! Please I do not know of such a thing! Please tell me more clearly! What feelings?” Wei Wuxian couldn’t hold back no more.

Hours ago Jiang Cheng fought about how after years Wei Wuxian showed to pay respect to their family for him only to bring Lan Wangji up. Wei Wuxian couldn't understand why Jiang Cheng was angry. He just knew going this early was a mistake. He should have gone late at night after his child fell asleep. Like how he did for years so he won’t run into his brother.

“You really don't know? You dont know at all? How the only time Wangji talked back to our uncle was about going out after curfew because he got a call from you on the day of your family passing away!” Lan Xichen couldn't believe it. The look on Wei Wuxian's face made him realize that maybe his memories were damaged.

He was aware of such a thing. Erasing part of your memories that brings big griefs. Wei Wuxian had lost his adoptive parents and his older sister. And it shows at Wei Wuxian next words. “I don't… I can’t remember…. Brother Lan, believe that I really can’t remember anything at all…”

“Wangji spent the whole night and the day next with you in the hospital. He even got into a fight with Jiang Cheng because of you!. He was by your side the whole time before you disappeared out of thin air.”

Lan Xichen didn't wait for Wei Wuxian to respond, he continued.

“Even a person with no feelings could see how much love Wangji carried for you! An outsider could see how devastated he was for not knowing where you are when he just confessed to you through texts with you only replying sorry to him.”

Lan Xichen took a deep breath. His brother's face after getting drunk and crying flashed through his mind. He swore to never see his brother this heartbroken again.

“The only mistake my brother ever made in his whole life was you, Wei Wuxian, and here you are with him reworking old emotions, emotions he hasn’t even forgotten about years later.” With much emotion Lan Xichen spoke, his voice cracked at the end.

“Baba” The child whispered, hands cupping his father's face when a single tear slipped out of his eyes. His heart broke at what Lan Xichen told him.

Wei Wuxian remembered nothing of that whole week. He only knows that somehow he showed up to Wen Qing doorstep and stayed there for a long time. Wen Qing helped him to get on his feet again, living a new life.

“Brother? Wei Ying?”

Turning his head around, Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji coming down toward them with someone right beside him and he couldn't pay much attention to who it was. Wei Wuxian mind was all over the place. His emotions were all over the place. Heart beating so loud.

“Wait!” Wei Wuxian shouted, making Lan Wangji freeze on the spot. Wei Wuxian lowered A Yuan to the ground before looking at Lan Wangji again, eyes filled with tears.

Wei Wuxian felt awful. He felt so horrible he wanted to go back in time and fix everything. If Lan Wangji thinks like Lan Xichen then he must have thought that Wei Wuxian was teasing his emotions. Playing him dirty with the whole kiss lick cheek he did and what followed after that.

Wei Wuxian took a deep breath. He thought that it was over either way they are leaving tomorrow if there is still a chance then he is going to hold onto it.

“Lan er gege! Lan Wangji! Lan Zhan! Back then I did not only want to kiss you I also wanted to sleep with you!” Wei Wuxian shouted with all his might, hands covering his child ears to spare him from the embarrassment.

Lan Wangji stood still, confusion washed over his usual cold, calm face. He couldn’t process what Wei Wuxian just said. He couldn't grasp the fact that Wei Wuxian admitted that he too wanted to sleep with him.

“Did you not hear what I said Lan Zhan? I do have a really bad memory! I don't remember a single thing that happened back then.. But i swear from now on i will remember every single word you speak to me!”

“....”

“Lan Zhan you are really good I like you! I need you! I haven’t forgotten about you! Not a single night goose by without me wondering how you are doing!”

“...”

Wei Wuxian continued to shout his lungs out. It was a cough that drew the two attention away from each other. Lan Xichen face was flushed, hand on his mouth as he speaks, “This is not the right place to do this Wei Wuxian.”

“A-Ah yes! Lan Zhan! Let's take this somewhere else!” Wei Wuxian took the bag from Lan Xichen's hand, picking A Yuan up and ran as fast as he could to Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji breathed hard and fast, hand holding onto Wei Wuxian’s own as he led them out of the court, eyes followed their every move. Even when they were outside walking to their hotel, everyone stared at them as they walked one with flushed cheeks, the other with flushed ears.

Putting A Yuan down when they reached their hotel room, Wei Wuxian turned around, eyes reflecting the same tears Lan Wangji had. It was Wei Wuxian who spoke first.

Making sure the child was out of sight, Wei Wuxian breathed. “Lan Zhan look at me.”

Lan Wangji did what he was told, staring at Wei Wuxian. Lips sealed shut, eyes flickering tears. He hasn't processed Wei Wuxian confession fully. It sounded awfully like Lan Wangji’s own confession when they were a bit younger.

Taking a deep breath Wei Wuxian whispered. “I really have a bad memory Lan Zhan but I do like you so much. I want to kiss you right now and i’m not saying all of that for the heat of the moment or for gratitude either! I simply just really like you! I don't want anyone else but you! It has to be you!”

Hearing that, Lan Wangji eyes widen. He stared at Wei Wuxian, mouth opened for a bit. But Wei Wuxian continued. “But i swear! From now on I will remember anything and everything you say and do! I won’t forget a single thing! I won’t forget these past days or the days following!”

Wei Wuxian eyes looked at Lan Wangji hand, he took a breath and said fuck it. He grabbed the hand in his, holding it tight, bringing it to his lips, leaving a soft kiss on it before continuing.

“I want to sleep with you every single day. I want to wake up beside you. I want to watch you carry A Yuan and be the perfect dad that you are. I want to be kissed by you. Hugged and even fucked. I want it all. I no longer want to waste time drooling in the past. I will take all of it but only if you are willing too..”

Before Wei Wuxian could finish his words, Lan Wangji pulled the man onto his chest, their hands still joined. their chests crashed together, falling into each other's arms. Wei wuxian felt tears falling on his cheeks. He couldn't tell if they belonged to him or Lan Wangji’s.

“I like you.” Lan Wangji whispered the words back.

“Yes!”

“I need you.”

“Yes! Yes!”

“I wanted to sleep with you.”

“Yes oh my god yes!”

“It has to be you only you!”

“Only you! Yes!.”

“I do not want to drool in the past.”

“Yes Lan Zhan, Yes.”

The world was quiet. But they didn't care. Their chests were right against each other, both of their hearts were beating loudly, speaking everything they ever wanted. It was Lan Wangji the first who pulled away for a bit just to look at Wei Wuxian as if he was making sure it was real.

“Lan Zhan.” Wei Wuxian whispered one more time, heart loud, face red. It made Lan Wangji want him even more. Taking the first move, Lan Wangji reached forward, their mouths were so close.

“Is it okay?” Lan Wangji whispered. Wei Wuxian didn’t answer; he closed the distance between them, kissing Lan Wangji lips, feeling the man kissing him back, arm wrapped against his waist, pulling him closer. As if Lan Wangji wanted to melt him against himself.

Wei Wuxian welcomed the rough kissing of his lips, the biting, the hand holding too tight into his hips. It showed just how much Lan Wangji wanted him. Just like how he wanted the man too.

But both had to force them-self to stop. There was a child in this suite that they need to check on before doing anything that may scare the poor child.

It was the hardest thing to do. Walking into the living room, watching A Yuan look between them all quite not saying a word when Wei Wuxian told him it was his nap time. The child without a fuss went with his father.

It took Wei Wuxian half an hour before returning to the living room, smiling from ear to ear, getting back to making out with Lan Wangji now that they were alone.

They somehow ended up in Lan Wangji room, still making out as layers of clothes flying in each direction, Lan Wangji biting every part of Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian also couldn't leave one spot of skin without kissing it.

They filled each other with so much love and emotions. Both of them accepted what the other offered without much asking. They connected both in heart and bodies. And none of them minded.

----------------------------

Laying in the warm bed, covered with two fluffy blankets, Wei wuxian sighed. He was happy. Feeling Lan Wangji hand playing with his hair, kissing his exposed shoulder after the socend round of sex they had, was all what Wei Wuxian needed.

Kissing the crown of Wei Wuxian’s head, Lan Wangji whispered, “Do you wish to sleep for a bit, my love?”

Wei Wuxian heart was beating fast upon hearing the soft word, the soft action. He moved closer to the man's chest, burying his face in his neck. “Little bit tired that’s all.”

Lan Wangji was too busy leaving marks all over his now exposed back. Lan Wangji kept biting and kissing until he reached the other lips and kissed it.

“Come back to gusu lan with me.” Lan Wangji whispered. Kissing Wei Wuxian once more before pulling away. He looked at Wei Wuxian smiling at him, hands reaching to touch his face. “You want me to go back or move in with you? Because these are two different things Lan Zhan.”

“I want you. Move in with me. I have a big yard with bunnies A Yuan could play in. Private school near the Lan resident. All the Lan kids play together.” Lan Wangji spoke every word with a soft tone.

“You are so cute.” Wei Wuxian whispered, kissing the tip of Lan Wangji’s nose. “I would love too but you have to speak to A Yuan yourself if he is on board then you get yourself a cute boyfriend and a child.”

“A husband.” Lan Wangji corrected sending Wei Wuxian into a laughing mess. “Ah yes yes my fault husband! A husband and a child isn’t that great Lan Zhan?”

They had agreed to not waste anymore time and just get married. They already wasted enough.

“En. It's great. You are great.” Lan Wangji nuzzled into Wei Wuxian’s hair. Taking in the scent he missed and loved. He felt Wei Wuxian swat him on the arm before complaining.

“Warn your man before saying something like that my heart won’t stop beating.” Wei Wuxian hid himself in his soon to be husband's chest, kissing it softly before sitting up when he heard some noises in the next room.

“A Yuan must have awakened now! Let's go tell him the great news!” Wei Wuxian excitedly started putting one of Lan Wangji shirts on before grabbing his pants, running out of the door, leaving Lan Wangji to dress and follow him shortly.

Lan Wangji walked into Wei Wuxian comforting the crying child in his arms. They whispered to each other things Lan Wangji couldn't make out. But he knew the sight broke his heart.

“Baby no, no, we weren’t fighting, we were just discussing adult stuff!” Wei Wuxian spoke softly, hands drawing a comforting circle on the child back. Lan Wangji kneeling before them, one arm around Wei Wuxian waist and other on the child's head.

“B-Baba and rich gege were crying! You're crying. A Yuan is scared rich gege hurts baba! A Yuan wanted rich gege to be his papa but now A Yuan can’t because rich gege made baba cry!” A Yuan coutnined to cry out loud, sobbing at his last bits of words.

Lan Wangji kissed the child's head, pulling him out of Wei Wuxian arms onto his. He held A Yuan very close and Wei Wuxian watched his every move.

“I’m sorry I made your baba cry. It was happy tears not sad. I want be your papa too.” Lan Wangji spoke every word so slowly, so softly while holding the child close to make him feel the love he wants to give.

A Yuan pulled back only to look at Lan Wangji’s face. A pout was still on his lips, tears still escaped his eyes, snorts coming out of his nose. The child started for some more.

“R-Rich gege want be A Yuan papa too?” A Yuan sniffed, Hope filled his eyes. Lan Wangji couldn't dare to break that hope so he nodded with a small smile.

“En. I want to take you and your baba to my home. It has bunnies and you can play with other children your age. Do not worry i will protect you both, I will make sure you baba is happy as well as you.” He promised with hope in his eyes.

Hope that the child will accept him and like the idea of them living together from now on. And he wasn’t disappointed seeing the smile that broke on the child's face. “En! En! A Yuan wants all of it!”

A Yuan hugged Lan Wangji's neck so tight, like he was scared of letting this man, then like the soft wind that blew from the opened window, the child whispered in his ears, “P-Papa A Yuan loves you.”

It was all that took for the tears to build up in Lan Wangji eyes again, hugging the child too close, forgetting that he was small, Lan Wangji almost crushed the child if it wasn’t for Wei Wuxian coming to his aid.

Removing a laughing A Yuan from Lan Wangji hands, Wei Wuxian made it the first group hug this family has. Bringing Lan Wangji in, Letting the man hug them so close to his chest.

This moment was one of many to come. From this moment on, like how it has always been, Wei Wuxian grins and calls Lan Wangji name, the child chatted his name too. And Lan Wangji could never remove his eyes from his found family ever again.

Later on, Lan Wangji had to explain everything to his brother. Lan Xichen tried so hard to not break out laughing in the middle of the press confess.

But it was fine. Even after Lan Wangji watched Wei Wuxian also laugh when he was told about his brother's reaction to them getting married. It was fine. As long as they are together and happy, the rest of the world can be left on a pause.
