[laughitoff]

Oh? Are—are you trying to challenge me, Lan Er-gege?

[strikingchords]

One of your suggestions.

[laughitoff]

You’ve really put the pressure on now, you know. I’m really your only experience ever? Poor Lan Zhan.

[strikingchords]

I am not dissatisfied.

[laughitoff]

[huffs a tiny laugh, and steps into his space directly]

You’re really saving me some face, hm? Well, I’ll try to make this one good, then.

[strikingchords]

[looks back at him evenly, almost eye-to-eye, composed...]

[laughitoff]

[he's faking boldness; actually reaches up this time, his fingers warm and cradling on Lan Wangji's jaw, tilting his face up a little]

[strikingchords]

[leans into that touch, closing his eyes; consciously letting him get away with the lie]

[laughitoff]

[he can feel the heat of Wei Wuxian's face as he leans in, excruciatingly slow; the closed eyes are a mercy because he is blushing again to a horrifying degree]

[strikingchords]

[Lan Wangji's face is still and pale and perfect.

...squeezes his hand...]

[laughitoff]

[Wei Wuxian kisses him properly, still relatively chaste but not the faint brush of mouths it was earlier. his mouth is soft, warm, a little chapped...]

[strikingchords]

[...

puts his free hand on his shoulder to steady him further and leans in, a mirror-image of Wei Wuxian's own lean; lets the kiss linger as long as Wei Wuxian has the courage, and lets him go easily when he loses it]

[laughitoff]

[he’s breathing faster when it ends, though possibly that’s the terror]

—there.

[strikingchords]

[licks his lips a little and opens his eyes, slow]

Mm.

[...he'll snag another mistletoe berry...]

Was it effective?

[laughitoff]

[takes a step forward; breathes out…]

Looks like it.

[strikingchords]

[hums acknowledgement and lets Wei Wuxian tug him forward again]

[laughitoff]

[they make it most of the way across the graveyard, and could probably have made it back indoors unscathed further, except they both notice the new hot springs building that just showed up and get distracted from looking overhead…]

Oh, what’s this?

[strikingchords]

Another new location, already.

[laughitoff]

Little A-Zhe is being kept busy, hm?

[starts towards it…]

[strikingchords]

[they make it about ten steps in that direction

and then

stop,]

[laughitoff]

[oh god

their eyes track up again. Wei Wuxian lets out an audible whimper.]

[strikingchords]

[looks at him in deep concern]

...

[hesitates like he's going to say something and doesn't. with mild difficulty]

Should we call someone?

[laughitoff]

Do you want to--?

[strikingchords]

...

[shakes his head, wordless]

[laughitoff]

Than I'm fine.

[his tail is very puffy]
