[ Too much of the future is unknown, but they have to believe that some memory of their time here in this resort will stay with them. The added closeness they have enjoyed, the conversations such as this which have aided in bridging that chasm of misunderstanding and miscommunication which still exists between them.
It would be enjoyable, he can admit to himself, to return and vacate the seat for someone else, someone who is worthy and wants it, allowing him to travel with Wei Ying. Just the two of them going to where the chaos is, and perhaps on the way they would find a nice, quiet place to settle down, just the two of them. But until then.. ]
Until then, you are welcome in Cloud Recesses whenever you desire.
[ Come back to Gusu he wants to say, but won't. It must be Wei Ying's choice, and not a request fulfilled.
Then, after a moment's hesitation:]
...The Jingshi has ample space.
[ Normal people would offer up a guesthouse or something, but when has their relationship ever been a normal one? As open to interpretation as the offer is, Lan Wangji hopes it is one Wei Wuxian will consider, much like their current arrangement now. Alright, so perhaps the frequent sex is wishful thinking, and they could move a second bed in there easily enough, but his soulmate possess his own room here in the resort yet seems quite content to cuddle up with him in his tiny bed instead, and it is something that Lan Wangji has taken quite the liking to, so would it be too much of a stretch to consider the same arrangement at home? ]
[ Wei Wuxian fully believes he'll remember his stay here. He has to, right? He has to because the people he met here, the things he's discovered, and... and the closeness he's shared with Lan Wangji. These are all things he refuses to give up, not now, not ever. He has wanted this for so long, this type of easy life with Lan Wangji at his side, no forces bringing them together beyond their own enjoyment of each other's company, no obligations dragging them away from each other as well. He wants, so desperately, to be by Lan Wangji's side until they grow old and frail and their golden cores no longer sustain them.
And then he wants to do it again, in the next life.
So, maybe that's why when Lan Wangji offers his home in Gusu for him to stay in, Wei Wuxian does not balk and feel it is a trap of some kind. He doesn't feel any apprehension there. No, he only imagines them continuing on like now, sleeping curled up together in their bed, waking alongside each other, eating their meals together, so on and so forth. He wants that. He wants Lan Wangji. ]
Okay.
[ He keeps Lan Wangji's gaze, a small smile on his face as he agrees. ]
As long as you'll have me.
[ And he leans in, sweet as can be, and kisses Lan Wangji. Idly, in this back of his mind, he can't help but think — this feels like a proposal. Hahaha, but, that would be silly, no? ]
[ As long as you'll have me, he says, unknowing of how much of a commitment that would be. Together until they are wrinkled and grey, death and rebirth, and even then Lan Wangji would not tire of being at Wei Wuxian's side, the only future wanted being one such as this, with bodies, hearts, fates intertwined.
Arms drape around his soulmate's hips, unwilling to part as they share in what can only be described as a sentimental kiss, his words spoken all quiet and soft between the offerings of simple, light pecks to waiting lips. ]
You may tire of it, before then.
[ Because there will be no end to Lan Wangji's desire of it. ]
[ It's this closeness that he can't give up. This security. He curls closer as Lan Wangji's arms encircle his hips and they've still got the rabbit tucked against them as well but it's not too in the way. Not in the way enough to stop Wei Wuxian from looping his own arms around Lan Wangji's shoulders and resting his forehead against his. ]
Haaaa. I don't really care about where I am though. I only really care that I'm with you, you know?
[ So, be it the Jingshi. Or Golden Peacock. Or wherever else they land up. As long as he's with Lan Wangji, he's happy. ]
[ The two of them. Together. It's all that Lan Wangji wants, more than anything, and to have Wei Wuxian say the same, that soft smile on his face as they cling to one another, it makes certain words threaten to bubble up and spill from his mouth. Secrets of the heart, the things he yearns for, wants, loves, adores.
Once spoken they could never be taken back, never forgotten, thus he steels himself, declares to never utter it, but in moments such as this when it seems like Wei Ying wants the very same..
His eyes fall closed as their foreheads press together and he holds on tighter— clings even— sorry little rabbit, but you're probably beginning to feel a little squished. ]
Then let us remain together. Here. Gusu. Yunmeng. Wherever it may be.
[ If only he could say those words, the words that they both feel, that he knows to be true but just can't quite let himself believe it or admit it. If only he could just cross that one last barrier between them, but he can't, because what if it all falls apart when he does?
Because he wants the same. He wants it so badly, so desperately, that it's hard to even breathe around it sometimes. He just wants Lan Wangji, however he can have him, no matter how long he can keep him. He wants him in this life and the next and the next and the next...
As their foreheads press together, Wei Wuxian feels his eyes grow a little warm with emotion and he breathes in heavily to keep himself in check. His arms wrap tightly around Lan Wangji and he hugs him, trying to convey his emotion in the hug. Of course, in the process, the rabbit wiggles out from between them and hops out of their lap onto the grass again. It gets a watery chuckle from Wei Wuxian but he only presses closer instead. ]
Thank you, Lan Zhan.
[ There's no room for thank yous or apologies between them but it's covering up what he really wants to say, which is I love you, of course. ]
