You weren't ready It's soft, the thought brushing against his mind, his hands dropping to pull Wei Ying closer, his mouth finding another spot on Wei Ying's neck, dragging his tongue over the mark there.
"They will," he promises, filled with a sweet heartache and longing he can't even begin to describe. It's so intense simply calling it 'love' doesn't feel adequate enough. "I'll make it up to you. I'll do better."
He's still not sure how ready he is for a serious relationship but he's willing to try for Lan Zhan. After last night, he's not sure he can put the lid back on his feelings. They've reached a point of no return. If this turns out badly, Wei Ying's not sure if or how they'd be able to go back to being friends afterward.
"Lan Zhan, after breakfast... Can we do it again? I want to do it again."
Technically, he has classes later today and he probably should go to them but right now, just staying in with Lan Zhan today is so much more appealing.
..Which parts? Because specifics tend to be important when it comes to Wei Ying, even as his hand drops, settles to cup Wei Ying as his mouth finds another spot on his neck, biting to mark him there.
They had done a lot and he'd enjoyed it all. Drawing it out like that had been exciting and intense, not being able to see or move, being bound and helpless while Lan Zhan had his way with him. His face is growing warm, his dick hardening at the memory. It'd all felt so good.
"I want you to tie me up, blindfold me, and fuck me senseless. Until I can't even think."
He'd loved it, loved him, loved close to him he'd felt during it and after.
"I just want to be with you like that again. I want us to make love. It felt really good. More than just physical."
Anything you want, Wei Ying. It's a promise, his hips shifting slightly to rub against Wei Ying, even if he lets him go after that, his hands back at his sides.
"But eat first." And then he'd prepare another session for Wei Ying. Breakfast would give him time to consider the best path to take.
Wei Ying brushes his lips softly against Lan Zhan's, restraining himself to keep the contact brief when everything inside of him just wants to let go. Finally, he steps back and walks over to the table, taking a seat and waits for his lover to join him.
Wangji joins him after a moment, brings the plates over and then tea for himself, juice for Wei Ying along with the vitamins and other medication he's supposed to take every morning. Then he settles to eat his own breakfast.
Wei Ying takes the medication and vitamins first, popping the handful of pills in his mouth and washing it down with juice. Once he's done that, he smiles at Lan Zhan, elbow on the table and cheek resting in his hand.
"You always take such good care of me," he comments, grateful and not for the first time.
It's not always necessary; he had, after all, survived off the grid and on his own for several years during his childhood. Still, it feels nice to be looked after. To have someone care if he takes his medication or eats proper breakfast. Most people don't really care if Wei Ying drinks liquor at breakfast and subsists on instant noodles, peanut butter sandwiches, and toaster pastries so long as he's not their problem to deal with anymore.
You deserve it He's eating his own meal slowly and methodically, his gaze on the food and not on Wei Ying, at least most of the time, his expression as calm as ever. Looking after him is something that was simple enough to adapt to his own routine, just adding to the normal things he did on a daily basis to make sure he had good food and was taking care of himself.
The drinking had been the biggest problem, beyond Wei Ying forgetting his medication regularly, but they'd fixed that.
Wei Ying's never been particularly stable or well. Losing his parents and the traumatic life he'd lived had taken a toll on him. His adoptive family had done what they could, he'd come to realize through counseling, though getting kicked out after his powers manifested had hurt. He'd already indulged in alcohol frequently; it'd only gotten worse when he'd been left on his own.
But Lan Zhan's been there for him for a long time and he's been a better person for it. It's no wonder that Wei Ying would start fallng for him somewhere along the line. People just don't really care about him, not to the extent Lan Zhan does.
He's fairly quiet while he eats, just focusing on the food itself and basking in the soothing company. Whenever he's around Lan Zhan, Wei Ying feels like he can actually breathe.
Once he finishes eating, he sits back just watching Lan Zhan expectantly.
He's aware of being watched but it doesn't affect his normal routine, collecting the dishes when they're both done to go clean up the kitchen and then he's heading into the bathroom to draw a bath. Wei Ying will get what he wants, but there's something else that needs to happen first.
Join me. It's not exactly a request, Wangji testing the water temperature as he waits for the tub to fill.
Wei Ying follows him into the bathroom. He glances between Lan Zhan and the tub curiously and smiles.
"Oh? You wanna bathe together first?"
He'd taken a shower just before bed himself but he doesn't mind starting out the day with a bath, too. It's a pretty romantic idea, he thinks, and one he's perfectly happy to indulge. Wei Ying hugs his lover from behind, nuzzling his shoulder a bit.
He turns, catching Wei Ying in a kiss, letting it turn demanding once the other man relaxes into his, one hand sliding into his hair. We have class later. And he has work to do before class, but this much, he can permit himself now.
And then he's turning to stop filling the tub, pulling away to settle in the water once he's undressed.
The kiss leaves his breathless, his heart racing. He knows Lan Zhan's right. They shouldn't miss class but oh, will concentrating on his lectures be difficult. He takes off his boxers, leaving them on the floor, and climbs into the tub with him, sitting down betweeen Lan Zhan's legs.
He settles back against Lan Zhan, head reclining against his shoulder. It's a new experience yet somehow it feels completely natural and ordinary, too. His eyes drift half-closed as he just rests.
Hands smooth over his skin slowly, Wangji pressing a kiss to his temple before he's collecting a cloth to start bathing him, running the cloth slowly over every inch of skin he can reach, just letting Wei Ying all but fall asleep against him while he tends to the other man.
And then rinses him carefully, letting his head rest back against the tub.
The change is cozier than Wei Ying expected it would be, somehow. He could easily fall asleep right here, cuddled up to Lan Zhan like this, and it's a more pleasant thought that he expected it would be. Wei Ying's never thought himself to be particularly domestic or inclined to settle down with anyone. He seldom plans for tomorrow, much less thinks about any further than that.
But he could get used to this, he thinks. Maybe. Sleeping over and waking up next to Lan Zhan, having breakfast and quiet, soothing moments in the tub. And Wei Ying knows that it's far too early in the relationship for him to start thinking about things like that. They haven't even gone on an actual date yet!
After a bit, Wei Ying starts to sit up a bit, reaching for the cloth and starts slowly bathing Lan Zhan with it.
"You know, we should go out soon. Like on a date. We haven't been on one yet," he says, sounding slightly drowsy.
Or at least, not one that Wei Ying's properly recognized as a date.
After a little shifting around to get in a better position, Wei Ying takes his time passing the cloth over Lan Zhan's skin, starting with his face and neck then moving down to his shoulders and chest. He smiles softly, the look in his eyes more tender than he realizes as he gently scrubs him down.
"What kind of dinner? Where would you like to go?"
He hums contentedly, washing his way down Lan Zhan's torso, making sure to clean every inch, including his sides and armpits. While he works, Wei Ying leans in and starts kissing lightly along his lover's jaw and neck.
"Too spicy for you? You might be able to order something mild..."
Wei Ying returns the kiss, abandoning the washcloth for the moment in favor of lazily wrapping his arms around Lan Zhan's neck. After drawing it out for as long as possible, he breaks it to catch his breath.
"We still have time before class if you wanna go back to bed for a little while," he murmurs, his smile widening. "Just for a little bit."
"You're the one who wanted me naked in the bath with you, remember?"
His tone's teasing and affectionate. Wei Ying chuckles at the bite, just hugging Lan Zhan briefly before he gets out of the tub. Once he grabs a towel for himself, along with another for Lan Zhan, and starts drying himself off.
"We don't have to do anything right now. I was just thinking the bed has more room to stretch out and get comfortable."
He'd genuinely be satisfied with just cuddling on the bed until it's time to go to class.
...I want to. No blindfolds, no extras, just you and me. He's out and drying off as well before wrapping arms around Wei Ying to pull him back against his chest, mouth finding a spot on his neck.
Unless you need the rest, that is. Then we can wait.
