Lan Zhan's Birthday - For Wei Ying
Feb. 21st, 2022 10:55 pmThe journey home is bitterly, bitingly cold in the way that Lan Wangji most enjoys but he finds himself grateful for Wei Ying's monstrously large coat, even if it makes it more difficult to properly hold him. It is dangerous for Wei Ying to travel in such weather, thin as he is and without the protection of a core.
They will have to find some other means of transport for him, Lan Wangji thinks, as disdainful as he is of the metal carriages. Wei Ying seems to have perked up, likely from the sugar and the small group of children who had cheered their departure but Lan Wangji cannot help but worry. He does not know how to make Wei Ying believe that his memory issues do not pain Lan Wangji, that such trivialities as a birthday mean nothing compared to the joy Wei Ying brings him.
He must do better at this. They touch down silently on the soft, thin snow and he drops a kiss on Wei Ying's red, icy nose before turning towards their house, glowing warmly from within.
"I will start a fire."
