A new strategy
"Ahhh. Lan Zhan sorry . I tainted you robes...I will wash them for you ok. Don't be mad. Ok." he says guiltily.
"Not necessary." Lan Zhan says looking at Wei Ying tenderly.
Wei Ying's smile is gone in an instant and is replaced by worry as he finally looks at Lan Zhan who is hurt at multiple places and is bleeding.
"Lan Zhan, " he says lifting his hand to touch the wond on his friend's arm but stops it mid air and takes it back.
"It's nothing." Wangji says lightly.
"Lan Zhan. Just because you are stronger than me doesn't mean you can say whatever you want and get away with it. " Wei Ying says putting his hand under Wangji's chin and lifting it up.
Wei Ying leans into Lan Zhan and says "You are hurt Er. Gege....Look at you. Do you even know how to take care of yourself? What if something happens to you? Who will protect this weak man then. Hmm?"
Wei Ying feels brave. He moves closer. Their faces all but touching.
"Do you know how much I love... " Wei Ying doesn't complete his sentence. He looks down, fringing shyness.
Lan Zhan looks at him.
"How much you love what? " he asks Wei Ying.
"Your cloths... " , he says as he look up and smirks.
Lan Zhan sighs and looks down.
"Aaaand... Your sexy body... " , Wei Ying continues.
"Shameless", Lan Zhan mutters as a force of habit and a faint smile forms on his lips.
He lifts his face to look at Wei Ying again, but his eyes instead fall on the faint red marks on the side of Wei Ying's neck and his face falls and becomes cold.
'He will never forgive me if he finds out how I took advantage of him'.
"Aioo Lan Zhan...don't be like this agin." he says giving a sweet smilie to Lan Zhan while pulling on his sleeve with his fingers just as he had done many years ago before getting Hanguang Jun drunk.
Lan Zhan looks up at his friend's smiling face and remembers their carefree days spent in Cloud Recessess.
'What I would not give to go back to those days' he thinks wishfully and smiles a small barely there smile.
"Aaa Lan Zhan , you smiled....hehe. Look how beautiful your face looks when you smile. Promise me that you will smile more from now on....Promise me Lan Zhan." he says happily.
"Mm."
With that Lan Zhan holds his friend gently and supporting him both walk inside the house.
Once inside Lan Zhan takes him to the room and helps him onto the bed.
"Lan Zhan, how did you get hurt?"
"..."
"Those corpses were no match for Bichen and your zither. I heard you playing. It didn't feel right. Like something was missing. What is it Lan Zhan? Tell me." he pleads.
"It's nothing. You need to rest.", Lan Zhan tries to change the subject.
"Contrary to what you may think Second Master Lan... I can help you. Please don't be discouraged by my unworthy fragile body, my mind is still my own and it's as strong as ever." Wei Ying says not letting his friend escape the question.
"You are worthy. " Lan Zhan finally says.
"Hmm?" Wei Ying asks confused.
Lan Wangji just keeps looking at him expressionlessly for a few seconds.
'You are worthy Wei Ying. It is me who is unworthy... Unworthy of your trust... Unworthy of your friendship... Unworthy of your company.' he thinks.
"Anyway, what I am saying is that you need to tell me what's wrong" he says finally.
Without meeting Wei Ying's eyes Lan Zhan asks "How are you feeling? Is the wound hurting a lot?"
"Lan Zhan... Are you even listening to me?... OK... OK. I am alright. My wound doesn't hurt much. " he says giving up on asking his friend about the wounds he sustained.
"Are you hungry? You wait here . I will go and get something..." , Lan Zhan says turning around and walking towards the door.
"Lan Zhan ...Lan Zhan...do I look so hideous that you can't even look at me?" Wei Ying says as he grabs one of Lan Zhan's wrist.
"Not true." Lan Zhan says ..face devoid of any expression.
"What's not true?"
"You are not hideous."
"Hahaha...Lan Zhan you truly are something...Don't you want your questions answered before you leave?" Wei Ying asks with a mischievious smile playing on his face.
Lan Zhan "..."
"Ok then, you may leave me..if you are not interested in the answers." Wei Ying stand up and comes up right behind his friend and bumps his shoulder with his own.
"Go, go on...leave me again...just like you did sometime back" he continues while pouting his lips.
Lan Zhan turns to face him. He sees Wei Ying looking at the floor. He can't see the look on his face.
"Wei Ying...I didn't.." he says bending down trying to look at his eyes.
"You didn't what , Lan Zhan?" he asks continuing to look down.
"Wei Ying, please..." Lan Zhan brings his face closer.
"No....No....No...No" he start shaking his head from side to side.
Lan Zhan still can't see Wei Ying's face so he subconsciously steps closer trying to get thru to Wei Ying and tries to cup Wei Ying's face with both hands. But because Wei Ying is moving it too much he narrowly misses even after multiple tries.
Lan Zhan moves closer still and at the same time Wei Ying lifts his head up and their lips connect for a second before parting.
Their eyes lock with each other, and they stand staring at each other for what feels like forever but it's only a few seconds.
Lan Zhan breaks the eye contact first and staggers backwards and looks to the floor.
'What did I just do??' Wangji's brain screams.
'They are soft.... Just like in the dream', Wei Ying thinks as he raises his hand to touch his lips.
The corners of his lips lift up in a small smile.
Lan Zhan misses the smile. He turns his face away from Wei Ying.
'Before he tells me to get out I will leave.'
"Wei Ying, you have lost a lot of blood. I am going to the town to get you some food and medicines." he says and starts walking out of the house.
"OK then. Get enough for both of us will you? I felt guilty about last time when I ate everything you got without realizing that it was for both of us." Wei Ying shouts at Lan Zhan's back.
"Mm" Lan Zhan say as he walks out of the house and closes the door leaving a very flustered Wei Ying behind.
Wei Ying's eyes follow his friend leave, his life feels empty somehow.
'He just left??? Just like that? After what happened.. '
'What the actual heck!?'
Then he puts on a brave face. And smiles.
"Lan Zhan...Er gege... just face it. There is no woman who would want to be tied to an unromantic person like you" Wei Ying says smiling to himself.
"So unless you want to spend the rest of your life alone and miserable you better learn to accept that you belong only with me" he continues confidently.
'Second master Lan... Er. Gege...I will make you fall in love with me.' Wei Ying thinks to himself.... Totally unaware of the fact that the man he was going to try and win over had already fallen for him years ago.
'Afterall I am nothing, if not persistent....and Shameless....Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan.... I will show you exactly how shameless I can be when I want to.' These are Wei Ying's last thoughts before he lies down on the bed 'their bed' and drifts off to a dreamless sleep.
{Note Important :- There is some issue with rearranging the chapters. After this chapter please read 'Shameless' first and then 'You are Perfect'. That is the chronological order.}
