[strikingchords]

[--he barely manages to snatch a berry off of the mistletoe and into his hand with spiritual energy as he's WHISKED ALONG, OOF]

[laughitoff]

[they are absolutely going to fall in the fucking hot springs by accident unless Lan Wangji can rescue them with spiritual energy also, incredible]

[strikingchords]

[HE DOES CATCH THEM RIGHT AT THE LAST SECOND

AND YANKS WEI WUXIAN BACKWARDS AND INTO HIS CHEST TO DO IT, BREATHLESSLY SUSPENDED ON THE EDGE OF THE POOL

so they might fall in anyway.]

[laughitoff]

[yeah Wei Wuxian flails, squawks, and fully overbalances them

whoops!!!]

[strikingchords]

[HE TRIED.

SPLASHES IN WITH HIM, NOT LETTING GO OF HIS HAND]

[laughitoff]

[comes back up with an offended wail

it's been a rough day for the mo dao zu shi boys]

[strikingchords]

Are you all right?!

[next to him and urgent]

[laughitoff]

Who put this here!

[clings to him angrily]

[strikingchords]

[.... steadies him ...]

...

A-Zhe.

[laughitoff]

Someone had to ask for it! Aaaaaah!

[strikingchords]

Can likely find the message.

[patiently holding him up in the water]

[laughitoff]

[whines hiself out after a little longer -- Lan Wangji can tell he's upset but not like, upset upset -- and then starts looking around]

...well, at least it's nice...

[strikingchords]

Mm. You were chilled.

[probably not once the kissing started in earnest, but, details]

[laughitoff]

Is this because I joked about the Cold Springs earlier?

[strikingchords]

The timing is likely unrelated.

[laughitoff]

I suppose it's true! You don't actually have to keep me warm in something like this.

[strikingchords]

...

Do you wish to get out?

[THEY'VE MADE NO MOVE TO DO SO, HE'S NOTED]

[laughitoff]

[CHECKS THE CEILING]

...no...

[strikingchords]

[tugs a piece of Wei Wuxian's sodden sleeve, meaningfully]

[laughitoff]

--ah, you're right, I suppose.

[it is perhaps a testament to how much things are still going over his head that he peels back and starts taking off his shirt without compunction, even after all the kissing]

[strikingchords]

[they probably do need to at least let go of each other's hands long enough to take things off. looks away from Wei Wuxian like he's been scalded]

[laughitoff]

[that’s fair, his naked bod is not much to look at right now

he is absolutely peeking over at Lan Wangji though]

[strikingchords]

[THAT'S NOT WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he's taking his robe off distractedly, sure; from the side, Wei Wuxian sees the perfect line of his biceps and shoulder and then-- something on his back?]

[laughitoff]

[leans over a little further to get a better look...]

[strikingchords]

[uh what the fuck

he can clearly recognize the marks of a discipline whip, after seeing what Jiang Cheng's chest looked like those times after it faded. but these marks are clearly fresher; reddened and raised skin between what should be an absurd number of raw wounds.

instead, there's a river of translucent white crystalline scales down his back, filling in the gaps]
