#on the other end of the spectrum lwj is going: ohmygod wei ying has asked me to meet his family

[sarah-yyy]

Please think of lwj absently playing with wwx's hair thank you

He’s lounging on the couch, head comfortably pillowed on Lan Wangji’s lap, when he gets a message from Jiang Cheng. 

JC: for the love of FUCK please say you’re bringing lan wangji home when you’re coming back for cny

JC: because i can’t fucking stand the peacock anymore

JC: and i need you to bring lan wangji back to one up this fucker

Wei Wuxian chances up a look at Lan Wangji. His view is mostly blocked by the file Lan Wangji is reading through, but when Wei Wuxian makes a disappointed noise, Lan Wangji shifts the file away to peer down at Wei Wuxian. 

“What’s wrong?” he murmurs. 

Wei Wuxian smiles. “Nothing now that I can see your face,” he tells Lan Wangji, which isn’t exactly a lie. Lan Wangji’s handsome face is a natural serotonin-booster. “Hi, er-gege.” 

Lan Wangji’s lips curve just in the slightest. “Hi, Wei Ying,” he says back, and sets the file to one side to read at an angle, so Wei Wuxian’s view will remain unobstructed. 

Ah, what a good gege! 

He’s just about to voice the same to Lan Wangji, when his phone pings with more messages from Jiang Cheng. 

JC: what did a-jie do in her past life to deserve this MISERY 

JC: maybe if you bring lan wangji home a-jie will realise there are better men out there and change her mind about the peacock

Jiang Cheng makes a good point. Jiang Yanli can do so much better than Jin Zixuan, but the universe has just somehow decided to restrict her good sense to all other matters except that of her love life, probably because if she also managed to find the perfect partner in addition to being the most perfect person in the world, she would be too powerful. 

Wei Wuxian lets out a long-suffering sigh. 

He’s about to excuse himself from the living room to call Jiang Cheng out on the balcony to rant about Jin Zixuan when gentle fingers sink into his hair, combing through the strands softly. 

Wei Wuxian turns his gaze back onto Lan Wangji, but Lan Wangji is still reading intently, focus away from Wei Wuxian. 

Wei Wuxian closes his eyes, and enjoys the soothing motions of Lan Wangji’s fingers. He wishes all weekends could be like this, where they could just sit together in comfortable silence, without having to think of work, or well, without Wei Wuxian having to think about work, since it’s impossible to drag Lan Wangji away from reviewing files even at home. He swears he could spend eternity like this, and still feel like it’s not enough.

Lan Wangji flips a page, and seems to notice that Wei Wuxian is watching him. 

“Hmm?” he hums, fingers still threading through Wei Wuxian’s hair.   

“Feels nice,” Wei Wuxian sighs happily. Lan Wangji truly is the perfect man. He really should take him back to Yunmeng so that Jiang Yanli can have a glimpse of what she should be aiming for. “Gege, can I borrow you for a few days over the Chinese New Year break?” 

“What for?” Lan Wangji asks. 

“I want to show you off to my family,” Wei Wuxian tells him. Lan Wangji probably wouldn’t mind; after all, he’s been flaunting Wei Wuxian and their pretend relationship off to everyone else. He would almost surely be nice enough to do this one favour for Wei Wuxian. “I want everyone to see how nice you are to me.”

Lan Wangji smiles. “Okay,” he tells Wei Wuxian. 

“Really?” Wei Wuxian asks, beaming. “Oh god, everyone is going to be crowding me, wondering how I managed to trick you into being with me!” he says gleefully. “What are you going to say if someone asks you why you chose to be with me?” 

“The truth,” Lan Wangji says, still smiling. “That Wei Ying smiled at me, and everything else in the world just faded away. Who would I be with, if not Wei Ying?”

Ah, Lan Wangji is truly the best! Wei Wuxian hasn’t even had to teach him the spirit of embellishing all stories to make them sound much better than they actually are, and Lan Wangji already gets it! 

He’s definitely going to fit in at the reunion dinner with the wider Jiang family.
