lan wangji has been hot and bothered since the time wei wuxian had shown him the erotica.
he could feel the heat pooling at the bottom of his stomach, the slick at the entrance of his hole and he knew he had to kick wei wuxian out before the alpha caught on it.
lan wangji would not deny, wei wuxian is very talented and smart - very attractive too but lan wangji does not wants to focus on that.
as lan wangji folds the painting wei wuxian made of him, he shakes the thoughts of the alpha from his mind. wei wuxian somehow always managed to squeeze his way in lan wangji's thoughts throughout the day, even during the night.
last night — in his dream.
a shiver runs down lan wangji's spine, he has been trying to not think of wei wuxian but somehow his brain always ends up wandering with the thoughts of the alpha.
the dream frustrated lan wangji to heights, he had never thought of something like that and the worst part was that he had felt excited at the prospect of the dream, somehow against all odds, coming true.
lan wangji sweeps his hair to one side and untangles them with his fingers and then gently put them in place, lan xichen had asked lan wangji to join him for a walk after lunch.
lan wangji walks out of jingshi, his scent blockers on him as he walks to his brother's house.
"come in, wangji. it's been too long since we have had lunch, just the two of us." lan xichen smiles at him.
lan wangji nods and takes his seat opposite to the low table in lan xichen's quarters.
they finish their meal in silence, no words exchanged except for the curious glances his brother keeps throwing in his direction.
lan wangji keeps his gaze rooted to the table, he knows very well his brother has a mischievous comment on the tip of his tongue and he also knows just who it is about.
lan xichen has been singing wei wuxian's praises ever since the night lan wangji dragged him for punishment.
'i actually feel good about that wei-gongzi.'
'he is smart and has a lively and cheerful character.'
'wangji, doesn't wei-gongzi have some real skills?'
lan wangji can feel his ear heating up, he can only hope his scent blockers work and his brother doesn't get the hint of his embarrassment.
lan xichen had been the one to tell the alpha about the cold springs post their punishment for drinking alcohol, whether or not he knew of lan wangji's presence there was uncertain.
lan wangji is quick on his feet once they're done eating, during the day his brother will not discuss matters so intimate in public, if lan wangji rushes out the door before the conversation begins, he can avoid it.
and avoid he does.
setting the dishes aside for the servants to pick up, lan xichen joins him in the courtyard.
"brother, recently something strange happened inside the wards of the back hill." lan wangji says, not letting lan xichen as chance to say anything else, "though the wards have not been broken yet, they have been disrupted."
lan wangji had not entirely dismissed wei wuxian's concern about the disturbance, he was simply in rush to drag him to the library.
there was something about sparring with wei wuxian that played with lan wangji's instincts, it made him want to never stop, to show wei wuxian that they're equals, they deserve to stand togeth—
yeah, he needs to stop.
"did you find out who had gotten into the backhill?" lan xichen asks.
not giving it much thought, lan wangji replies, "wei ying."
he can see his brother turning to look at him, as amused as he is at the use to wei wuxian's birth name.
wei ying. lan wangji likes the sound of that from his mouth, he has said it only once, when wei wuxian had managed to anger lan wangji.
lan wangji wasn't angry. not at wei wuxian, at least not entirely at him. he was partly angry at himself for his arousal and took it out on wei wuxian.
their discussion of the matter at hand is interrupted by a lan disciple, the man bows to lan xichen and lan wangji and explains the hauntings by the water ghosts in caiyi.
lan wangji agrees to join his brother for the night hunt.
with their qiankun pouches ready, the lan disciples assemble together and leave ahead of lan wangji and lan xichen.
it would do him well, lan wangji had thought, to be away from an insistent man with no regards for personal space nor decorum.
however that lasts for about half a shi, they have not even reached the outskirts of cloud recesses when a familiar scents hit lan wangji's sensitive nose.
alphas and omegas alike were strictly instructed to wear scent blockers before entering cloud recesses but lan wangji has had the disadvantage of being hit by the same alpha scent — earthy with a mix of lotus flowers & spice — thrice by now.
once on the rooftop in the middle of the moonlit night, second when wen chao had barged into the salutation ceremony and wei wuxian had gotten upset, the room blew up with alpha scent but lan wangji was drawn to only one, he could recognize it anywhere by now.
"zewu-jun." lan wangji hears, there are two more people following wei yin- wuxian.
they all bow to lan xichen, "wei-gongzi, jiang-gongzi, you two.."
"zewu-jun, it's said that there are water ghosts near biling lake." jiang wanyin says interrupting lan xichen.
lan wangji has to remind himself to not look at wei wuxian, despite the scent pulling him towards the alpha.
"and we don't have lectures these days, so we want to go practice with you." he finishes.
"yes, yes! let us go with you!" wei wuxian says and lan wangji jumps to his own rescue.
"it's against the rules." he says and four pair of eyes turn to stare at him.
"why is it against the rules?" wei wuxian protests, "yunmeng has a lot of brooks, jiang cheng and i played near water during our childhood. taking on water ghosts is easy for us." wei wuxian grins, "besides, we don't have courses these days."
"right, zewu-jun, yunmeng has so many rivers. we can help you for sure." jiang wanyin backs up his brother.
"there is no need." lan wangji says.
"then the two young masters, please follow me." lan xichen says with a smile.
and if lan wangji had been a little more expressive, he would've whirled to his brother with anger and gasped loudly.
betrayed by his own blood! lan wangji thinks but because he isn't expressive, he only side eyes his uncle's eldest nephew.
he's starting to question whether his brother loves him afterall. does brother not see the inner turmoil lan wangji is going through?
so much for spending a few days away from wei wuxian.
and because the luck is not on lan wangji's side, two more people join in. lan wangji grips bichen tightly as wei wuxian sings praises of the wen siblings, lan wangji does not know of their presentation but if either of them turn out to be omegas, lan wangji hopes his territorial tendencies — which has nothing to do with him being an omega and everything to do with him being a jealous person — do not jump out.
"brother, why did you let them come?" lan wangji asks once the four of them are out of earshot, he hopes he does not sounds like a whining child but his brother smiles at him indulgingly.
"it's not an easy case, we should take it more seriously. " lan wangji reminds him.
"i looked at you and you seemed to want the two boys to come with us, so i said yes." lan xichen says, his tone teasing.
lan wangji stops in his tracks and turns to his brother, "don't you want them to?" lan xichen asks.
to others it may seem like a simple conversation devoid of any ulterior motive but lan wangji knows his brother just the way his brother knows him.
lan xichen is trying to get him and wei wuxian to become friends, thinking - hoping, wei wuxian would be the one to get lan wangji to come out of his shell but he seems to be misreading lan wangji's emotions.
friendship is far from what lan wangji has imagined with wei wuxian in the last few weeks.
——
and because luck hasn't been on lan wangji's side for the past nineteen years, lan wangji and wei wuxian get assigned the same room.
he is going to have a serious talk with his brother once they're back at home.
lan wangji takes to ignore wei wuxian during the entire day, meditating instead. after noon, they set out towards the lake.
the scent blockers rule is only until the boundary of cloud recesses, beyond that everyone — except the lans — are free to get rid of their scent blockers and lan wangji is hit by the full force of wei wuxian's alpha scent.
he cannot smell anything from wen qing and her brother, he believes they're both betas and jiang wanyin has a strong and pungent alpha scent.
lan wangji walks ahead of them all to avoid it.
——
they successfully subdue the water ghosts but have to spend the night resting in the tavern because of wen qionglin's poor health and jiang wanyin's wound.
lan xichen has gone to speak with the villagers and lan wangji is left to his own whims, he checks out the inn and on his way to his room, he accidentally bumps into someone, he recognizes the man, the lan disciple from earlier, the one who had informed them of the water ghost in the first place.
lan wangji takes two steps back, the man is an alpha, his pheromones spiking suddenly as he takes note of lan wangji's appearance, "er-gongzi." the man bows.
"su minshan." lan wangji says, remembering his name.
even though it wasn't a rule for lan disciples to hide their scents outside of cloud recesses, they were still expected to follow their sect rules. lan wangji does not finds it acceptable for a lan disciple to be walking around so freely projecting his pheromones but before he can rebuke him, he sees wei wuxian walking in his direction from behind su minshan.
"lan zhan, hey!" he waves his hand and comes to stand next to lan wangji, their closeness inappropriate for two men who are not related, their shoulders are almost touching!
wei wuxian turns to su minshan with a grin, "hey!" he waves to him too, "lan zhan, who is this?" wei wuxian asks.
lan wangji takes a step away from him to leave some distance between them and does not say anything.
"su she, courtesy minshan. i am a lan disciple." su minshan introduces himself.
"ah, well met, su-gongzi. lan zhan and i have urgent matters to attend to." wei wuxian says as a dismissal, su minshan takes the hint and leaves, hastily bowing.
lan wangji does not glances at the retreating alpha, instead studying wei wuxian's face.
they have no urgent matters to attend, it's the middle of the night.
wei wuxian's smile falls, he looks at lan wangji with a serious expression and takes a step towards him. lan wangji's heart picks up violently at that and he cannot help but take a step back of his own. wei wuxian is staring at him intently, a silent challenge is his gaze, daring lan wangji to break the eye contact, to look away but lan wangji has been so drawn already that he does not have it in him to divert his gaze.
time moves painfully slow and so does wei wuxian.
two more steps and lan wangji's back hits the wooden surface, wei wuxian raises one hand and extends it towards lan wangji, towards his waist, lan wangji has an insult stuck at the back of his throat but nothing comes out of his mouth except an exhale, wei wuxian's hand graze the top layer of lan wangji's robe and goes past him and just as lan wangji comes to his senses, wei wuxian slides open the door behind him.
lan wangji barely catches himself from falling backwards, wei wuxian barks out a laugh at whatever face lan wangji is making and walks past him to the room.
lan wangji feels his blood boil. frustrated, he slides the door close and follows wei wuxian inside the room to the bed chambers.
two can play the game.
as wei wuxian settles on the bed for the night, lan wangji undoes his guan, he walks across the room aware of the curious gaze following his every move. he brushes his hair neatly in front of the mirror and goes back to his bed, wei wuxian has still not taken his eyes off of lan wangji so he does the first thing that comes to his mind.
he takes off his outer robe in the middle of the room.
there's a loud squawk from wei wuxian's side of the room but lan wangji pays it no mind as he folds the outer robe and places it carefully on the table next to the bed, then he sweeps his hair to one side exposing his unmarked neck in the process and loosens the second layer of the robe.
"lan zhan!" comes a low, threatening grumble from wei wuxian.
lan wangji turns his head to look at the alpha, "do you know what you're doing?" wei wuxian asks.
"undressing." lan wangji replies, wei wuxian's eyes widen and he jumps up on the bed.
"wei ying." lan wangji says turning to him, "it's inappropriate to stand on the bed with your feet."
"oh? so this is inappropriate and what you're doing is not?" wei wuxian asks, both hands on his hip, staring down lan wangji with a raised eyebrow.
lan wangji blinks at him.
"aha, don't act so innocent lan zhan. you know exactly what i mean."
lan wangji turns away from him, pleased at riling up wei wuxian.
he had planned to tease the alpha and leave it at that, so he picks up the qiankun pouch for his spare robes and decides to change behind the paper screen but before he can move he feels a hand on his waist and a warm body pressed against his back.
the qiankun pouch falls from lan wangji's hand, his breathing stutters as wei wuxian presses his nose over lan wangji's scent gland.
lan wangji grabs wei wuxian hand that is caressing his waist to push him back but just then the alpha takes a loud inhale from lan wangji's neck making the omega go weak in his knees.
lan wangji immediately presents his neck for wei wuxian to press closer and wei wuxian does just that, he brings lan wangji closer from the waist and hides his face in the crook of lan wangji's neck, rubbing his nose along the omega's scent gland.
thousands of emotions run in lan wangji's brain but guilt at breaking the rules is not one of them.
only now does lan wangji realizes that he wants wei wuxian so badly, his body relaxes in the strong arms of the alpha. content at the proximity, lan wangji purrs.
propriety comes back to him a little late when he feels something hard pressing against his ass, wei wuxian licks along his neck upto his ear and the moan that leaves lan wangji's lips mortifies the omega.
"fuck, lan zhan." wei wuxian whispers in his ear grinding slowly on lan wangji's ass. "you're so good, you smell so good. i have been dying to scent you since the night we sparred."
he presses a kiss on lan wangji's burning ear diving for his neck again, this time licking and kissing it enthusiastically, "honey and sandalwood. i knew i hadn't imagined and made it all up in my mind."
for all that wei wuxian was blabbing, lan wangji could only focus on one thing — wei ying thought about me?
wei ying turns him over in his arms, his smile so wide it replicates the sun, blinding one if they look at it directly but lan wangji is incapable of looking away from those scandalous and sinful lips that were on lan wangji's neck not long back.
he rests his hand on the alpha's shoulder as wei ying presses his hard dick against lan wangji's front, "do you see what you do to me, lan zhan?" he asks, eyes hooded.
wei ying ruts against lan wangji's clothed front, biting his lips. lan wangji slides his hand to wei wuxian's neck and presses his lips on the sinful mole decorating wei ying's mouth. the alpha stills entirely for a moment, he blinks at lan wangji and then with new found motivation crashes his mouth on lan wangji's.
their first kiss is clumsy, lan wangji tries to bring wei ying closer from the neck, pressing himself against wei wuxian's chest and wei ying digs his nails inside lan wangji's waist thrusting against him in between, somewhere in the midst of it all lan wangji slides his tongue inside wei ying's mouth.
the alpha gives a loud growl as he pulls back, he scribbles something in the air with his spiritual energy and slaps it on the door.
satisfied and determined, he turns to lan wangji and pushes him on the bed. lan wangji goes easily and the alpha climbs on top of him, claiming his mouth in a kiss.
lan wangji feels the slick dripping at his entrace as wei ying explores the insides of his mouth, adjusting his face as he pleases. he grinds his hips every few minutes, enticing a moan out of lan wangji at the press of the hardness.
instinctively lan wangji spreads his legs to give wei ying better access, the alpha groans, breaking the kiss and hides his face near lan wangji's throat, "you will be the death of me, lan zhan."
"wei ying. please." at lan wangji's voice, wei ying looks up at him.
"please what, lan zhan?" he asks with the hint of alpha command and lan wangji shivers.
"please d-do it again." lan wangji says.
"do what again?" wei ying asks again, this time a little teasing.
lan wangji decides to demonstrate what he wants so he wraps his legs around wei ying's waist and grinds his hips.
"fuck. fuck. fuck lan zhan!!" wei ying yells, putting his entire weight over lan wangji, his breathing turns shallow.
lan wangji feels something wet on his thigh and freezes, "wei ying did you-"
"did i just come? yes, i did, lan zhan. fuck that was so so hot of you." he groans, hiding his face again. "i am so embarrassed, ugh! do not laugh at me, lan zhan. i have never done something like this before!" wei ying says.
lan wangji can imagine him pursuing his lips, which he usually does when he's bored at the library, or when lan wangji does not looks at him.
"never?" lan wangji ends up asking.
"of course never, what do you take me for lan zhan? i am a very respectful alpha." wei ying says pulling himself up, he gets off the bed and runs behind the paper screen.
lan wangji seats himself on the bed, he's dripping with slick too but he's not sure how to get wei ying to resume now that he feels embarrassed by his own performance.
wei ying emerges from behind the paper screen in just his red inner robes, lan wangji's eyes travel below and his ears redden at the sight of wei ying's ankles.
he's not wearing the trouser.
there's a wet stain over his crotch area and lan wangji finally has to look away before he can do something more embarrassing, like confess his feelings.
now that would be truly embarrassing.
"wow, lan zhan. are you silently laughing at me? this is all your doing. who allowed you to be so hot?" wei ying says and lan wangji's body feels like it's on fire.
lan wangji only now notices the state of his own clothes, while trying to kiss the soul out of lan wangji, wei ying had been trying to undo his robes. his chest is halfway exposed and the sash is loose from being tugged.
lan wangji hears the slow footsteps that stops when wei ying's feet comes into view, the wet spot on wei ying's crotch is right in front of lan wangji's eyes and he cannot help but look away.
a warm hand caresses his cheek and then wei ying is turning his face by his chin, he tilts lan wangji's face to look at him and when their eyes meet, he bends down to kiss lan wangji again.
"let me take care of you now, lan zhan." wei ying whispers.
wei ying pulls lan wangji on his feet then opens his robes carefully, layer by layer all of them pooling at the omegas feet as he stands bare chested in front of wei ying. wei ying takes his time tracing his finger over every inch of lan wangji's skin making the hair on his hand and neck rise.
the feather light touch on his stomach makes lan wangji huff out a breath and wei ying surges up to kiss him at the sight of it.
"tell me, lan zhan. how badly do you want me? for how long have you been thinking of this?" wei ying says tugging at the waistband of lan wangji's trousers.
anticipation builds in lan wangji's gut and he feels the slick trickling out of his hole down to his thigh, "since- since." lan wangji's breath falters as his trousers slides down.
lan wangji has half a mind to hide himself away from wei ying but a voice at the back of his mind tells him to be a good for his alpha.
"speak, omega." wei ying commands, his fingers tracing the curve of lan wangji's hip and slowly going lower and lower, slick gushes out of his hole once again at the command.
"since the library." lan wangji says.
"good boy." wei ying says.
lan wangji feels his body getting sensitive everywhere wei ying's finger touches, his own hands fisted on the side to ground himself, suddenly wei ying's finger disappears from his thigh, the alpha takes a step back, his eyes traveling all over lan wangji's brain as if taking in every detail.
then without warning, wei ying presses two fingers between lan wangji's folds. lan wangji grabs him by the shoulder, throwing his entire weight on the alpha, he's never been touched down there before, has never touched himself either except for when he had dreamt of himself and wei ying in the same position as the one in the book wei ying had shown him.
wei ying rubs his fingers back and forth, sliding across lan wangji's hand easily. they're calloused, probably from all the fishing and tree climbing in yunmeng but they strangely feel good when rubbing at his insides.
"lan zhan, has no one touched you here?" wei ying asks, licking the skin below lan wangji's ear.
lan wangji shakes his head, too petrified to open his mouth. his nails digging in wei ying's shoulder and arm as he holds onto the alpha for dear life, the movement down there does not stops.
"words, baobei."
"no." lan wangji says, it comes out more breathy and deep than he had hoped.
"not even yourself?"
"n-no." lan wangji rasps.
"fuck." wei ying groans and then the two fingers move further down, wei ying rubs his nail a little over his skin and then plunges both fingers inside lan wangji's oversensitive, wet hole at once.
lan wangji is half aware that they're inside the room of an inn so he bites his lower lip to stop himself from screaming, wei ying's eyes are so focused at the bottom where his fingers vanish inside lan wangji's body that he does not notices.
wei ying moves his finger in and out a few times then he brings them out and lifts them in front of lan wangji's face, "so wet and so ready. just for me." wei ying says, he rubs his fingers together and then licks them clean.
with the other hand that had been holding lan wangji by the waist, he pushes the omega back on the bed and this time kneels between his legs.
lan wangji spreads his legs easily at wei ying's slight nudge, the grin on wei ying's face disappears as a dark expression takes over his features, "i would love to eat you out, lan zhan. but next time. i can't wait to be inside you right now." wei ying says.
next time. lan wangji hears.
next time. lan wangji repeats in his mind.
next time. he reminds himself.
wei ying wants to do this with him again!
lan wangji nods, eager to have wei ying inside him, he bites his lips to keep the noises inside him as he mentally prepares himself.
wei ying hoists his robes around his hip and pumps his cock a few times, it hardens more in his hold and lan wangji bites his lip harder almost tasting his own blood, this time however wei wuxian notices him.
he uses his free hand to remove lan wangji's lip from between his teeth, "let me hear you scream my name as i claim you." wei ying whispers.
lan wangji frowns a little, however before he can protest further and remind wei ying that they're in an inn full of people, he feels something hard and warm near his entrance pressing inside, pain shoots up lan wangji's spine as wei ying's cock continues to go inside.
the thick, hard cock makes him arch his back and a painful scream leaves his mouth as he feels a part of his skin tear apart. wei ying is going to split him apart in two, lan wangji thinks. his hands grasp the sheets beneath him as wei ying moves further in.
there's an echo of wei ying's name inside the room and lan wangji realizes that it is him chanting the alphas name again and again, "fuck. so tight, so hot all for me. isn't it, lan zhan?"
lan wangji could not reply, he felt as if he was being torn open by wei ying's thickness, the alpha's cock pressed in, "isn't it all for me, lan zhan?"
the omega only manages to nod, eyes filled with unbidden tears threatening to fall.
"i am not even completely in yet and you're already shaking, lan zhan." wei ying chuckles, lan wangji's eyes widen at those words.
there's still left? he looks at wei ying, "too full." lan wangji moans out.
"just try to relax, yeah? i will be gentle." wei ying says, he pulls out leaving lan wangji gasping and panting and the omega slumps back on the bed, "try to relax, baobei. this is not supposed to hurt after the first time." wei ying says.
lan wangji blinks, tears pooling out of his eyes slowly, he nods again.
"should i stop?" wei ying asks, voice laced with concern and sincerity.
"no." lan wangji says.
"alright. just try to relax this time, okay? if you want me to stop, just tap me on the shoulders." wei ying reassures with a smile, leaning forward to capture lan wangji's mouth in a kiss.
lan wangji sighs in his mouth and wraps his hand around wei wuxian, wanting the his weight and warmth to comfort him.
wei ying does not breaks the kiss this time when he rubs his cock at lan wangji's entrance and slowly pushes in, he swallows every sound coming out of the omegas mouth, caressing his stomach with one hand trying to ease the tension out of lan wangji as he presses in at a painfully slow pace.
lan wangji can feel something poking at the insides of his womb by the time wei ying is completely sheathed inside him, his entrance still feels too stretched but focuses on the tender kisses wei ying has been leaving all over his face and tries to relax.
"move." lan wangji says after a moment.
"your wish is my command." wei ying says with a laugh and starts to thrust inside lan wangji slowly.
at first he's gentle, letting lan wangji get used to his cock and his movements, then slowly he pulls himself back a little going harder after each thrust.
lan wangji spread his legs further and brings their bodies together as the alpha increases his pace, there's a slight creaking sound from the bed but as wei ying's cock thrust in and out of his body, he's uncaring about anything.
wei ying curses in his ears, rambling about his fantasies coming true, at how easily and how well lan wangji takes his cock, he mumbles that he hopes he never has to part away from lan wangji's hole and lan wangji has to bite his throat to stop him from speak.
the alpha yelps at that, he rises a little and then he presses his thumb at lan wangji's already swollen clit to ease his pain but the overstimulation results in lan wangji coming all over wei ying's cock with a loud scream.
"did you jus- fuck. lan zhan did i just make you come on my cock?" wei ying asks.
"yes." lan wangji gasps out, he pulls wei ying to himself and sinks his teeth down on the alpha's neck, just short of his scent gland. he wraps his legs around wei ying's hip and cries out, "come in me. knot me. alpha." lan wangji sobs, his orgasm making his omega instincts go haywire.
wei ying growls in his ear and starts to thrust again rougher than earlier, they stay locked like that until wei ying dumps his load inside lan wangji's womb and finally his knot binds them both together for a quarter shi.
——
lan wangji blinks open his eyes, a heavy weight resting on top of him, the first thing that he sees is his bite mark on wei ying's neck. it's alarmingly close to a mating bite and certainly looks like one.
the omega knows it's not been too long, he can still feel wei ying's knot inside him. he caresses wei ying's back, the alpha is still wearing his inner robe and as he recollects everything that has passed between the two of them — lan wangji's heartbeat picks up.
lan wangji has broken several rules and he has no one to blame but himself, he seduced wei ying, lain with him, taken his knot — begged for it without feeling any guilt.
lan wangji had enjoyed this, felt happy when wei ying said he'd want to do this with lan wangji again but to sleep with another alpha outside of marriage, to give himself to someone who wasn't his mate, his husband, lan wangji cannot begin to think of the punishment he would be receiving once his uncle learns of this.
but he cannot hide it from his family, they will soon begin to look for marriage prospects for him and lying about this would be the biggest betrayal and either way, it is not within lan wangji to lie.
his uncle—
"lan zhan, baobei," wei wuxian murmurs in his ears, stirring above lan wangji.
lan wangji blinks a few times, his thoughts halting abruptly.
"stop stressing yourself, i can basically hear you thinking. your scent has changed too." wei wuxian turns over and slides next to lan wangji, his cock slipped out of lan wangji's hole but that didn't last for long.
wei ying turned lan wangji in his arms, burying his face in the omegas neck aa he brings lan wangji closer by the waist and guides his cock inside lan wangji's pussy again.
lan wangji gasps, "wei ying!"
"don't worry, i am not going again. i just love the feeling of being inside you." wei ying says pressing slow kisses along lan wangji's neck.
"this was amazing. don't you think so, lan zhan?" wei ying asks. lan wangji wraps his arm around wei ying's shoulder and nods.
"lan zhan.. d-do you regret this? is that why you're so tensed and upset? i swear i didn't mean to rile you up, i just— that alpha was close to you and his awful scent on you just drove me crazy. i shou—"
lan wangji presses a kiss on wei ying's head and wei ying falls silent, "does wei ying regret?" he asks in a soft voice.
"hell no, even if i were to die right now, i would be very happy." wei ying laughs pulling his head from lan wangji's shoulder as he looks at him.
"no dying." lan wangji deadpans.
"no dying. got it. i need to take responsibility for defiling grandmaster lans star pupil." wei ying laughs.
"no regrets." lan wangji says after a moment with a smile of his own.
wei ying laughs languidly, he presses closer and the two of them finally fall asleep in each other's arms.
——
the following days are much the same except now everytime wei ying finds lan wangji in the courtyards, he is adamant on getting lan wangji to pay attention to him.
he would follow lan wangji like a puppy, calling after him and once lan wangji slipped inside the library, or the backhill, or inside the jingshi wei ying would quickly pounce on him, pinning him to the closest available wall or tree, kissing him until they both ran out of oxygen.
in class wei ying's paperman always sneaks inside lan wangji's sleeves and sometimes even slide against his chest, lan wangji has been collecting every single of them, storing them in the box that hides the sketch wei ying drew of him.
however, they have not gone beyond stolen kisses, longing looks, and secret touches since that night in caiyi.
lan wangji would not lie, he had been a little disappointed at the lack of .. sex but there's nothing he can do about it, the risk of getting caught by his brother or uncle, or worse any elder of the sect, it would bring shame to the lan clan and his uncle's upbringing.
lan wangji could not do any of that so he savours the kisses until one day lan wangji's worst fear comew true.
they had been trading kisses back and forth sitting in the library, wei ying had manged to anger lan qiren once again and lan wangji has an inkling that he has done it on purpose.
"lan zhannn don't be so mean. won't you look at me?" wei ying asks shifting closer to lan wangji.
"get back to copying." lan wangji replies not looking away from his poetry book.
"not fair lan zhan. how can i focus on anything else when you're sitting here look so enticing. your beauty is very distracting!" wei ying says, hands sliding across lan wangji's thigh as he nuzzles his face in the omega's hair.
"wei ying! someone might come." lan wangji says pushing wei ying slightly.
"nobody ever comes here when you're overlooking my punishments, c'mon baobei, don't you miss me?" wei ying breaths over his neck, he pushes lan wangji's hair to the other side and licks the skin. "so sweet." he whispers and bites the omegas earlobe.
"we-wei ying." lan wangji breathes out, gripping the brush in his hand.
ink smears across the table as alpha slides it away from lan wangji and pushes lan wangji on the ground.
instinctively, lan wangji spreads his legs letting wei ying settle in between, the alpha wastes no time in slotting their lips together. he grabs lan wangji's hand and pins them over the top of his head, lan wangji ruts against wei wuxian's already hard cock, soft moans filling the library.
he wants to touch wei ying too but he wants to be good for his alpha.
his??
lan wangji likes the weight of wei ying's body pressing him to the ground, he hoped he would get to experience this everyday. wei ying kisses his way down lan wangji's neck, lan wangji closes his eyes, letting the feel of wei ying's hot mouth take over his sense.
but before he could process anything further, he hears the sliding of the door a minute too late leaving no room for him to gather himself. surprised at the intrusion, wei ying too looks up from lan wangji's neck.
"wei wuxian you bastard!" lan qiren yells and lan wangji spots his brother next to his uncle.
the rest few minutes are a complete blur for lan wangji, his mind hazy at being found in such a compromising position by his uncle and brother, all the years of rules and teachings about self reservation, restrain, loyalty for his future mate rings in his ears.
all too sudden, wei ying's comforting weight is lifted and he can see the uncertainty in wei ying's eyes as he's being pulled away from lan wangji.
lan xichen is by his side, helping him sit, he checks lan wangji's wrist and fixes his hair a little. lan qiren seals the library, holding wei ying by the collar. a lot of words are being exchanged between them, lan wangji can see their lips moving but the voices do not reach his ears.
then wei ying falls to his knees, he does not looks at lan wangji and drops to a kowtow. lan wangji senses finally come back to him and he scrambles to lift wei ying, "wei ying. no!" he says.
"wangji! let him be punished, he's not only undisciplined but also illbr—" lan wangji cannot hear another word against wei ying so he does the one thing that comes to his mind, he raises his hand and feels the metal on his forehead and pulls it free from his hair.
"wangji!"
lan wangji takes wei ying's hand in his and clumsily ties the forehead ribbon around his wrist.
"wang—"
"wei ying did not— did not force me. shufu, i love wei ying." he hears a sharp intake of air from his brother's side but he pays him no mind instead looking at wei ying for any signs of disagreement.
the alpha only looks at him with confusion.
"i will not allow this, wangji! this is unethical, you will not be marrying this scoundrel."
lan wangji shakes his head, "one must not give oneself to anyone other than their mate." lan wangji recites the rule to his uncle, "i have already taken wei ying as my alpha, we have lai—"
"shut up! just shut up, wangji. what has happened to you? what has this wretched boy—"
"i will marry no one but wei ying. to marry someone else would be dishonest." lan wangji bows to his uncle.
"xichen say something to your brother, he has lost his mind." lan qiren yells.
"lan zhan? you will mar— me?" wei ying reaches for lan wangji and the omega meets him halfway, with a relived sigh wei ying hides himself in lan wangji's sleeves.
"yes wei ying, unless—"
"no!" wei ying protests, "there's no unless, lan zhan. you’re amazing, i like you." he says cupping lan wangji's face, "or to phrase it another way— i adore you, love you, want you, can’t bear to part from you— i'll have you in whatever way you'll have me."
"adore you." lan wangji repeats wei ying's words and the alpha nods, his smile widening.
"can't bear to be apart." lan wangji says, his voice barely above a whisper.
"yes, lan zhan, yes!" wei wuxian says and surges forward to capture lan wangji's lips in a kiss.
"wei wuxian!" two loud voices echo in the library and wei wuxian squeaks loudly.
"shameless. insolent! pick yourself together and stay away from my nephew until i talk to jiang-zongzhu. xichen, bring him to my study. wangji, go home, we will be there in sometime with daifu."
"i love you, wei ying." lan wangji responds.
"impudent." lan qiren says before turning around with a flick of his sleeves and walking out of the library.
"wangji, when i envisioned you becoming friends with wei-gongzi, this is not what i had in mind." lan xichen says and gestures wei wuxian to walk ahead, with one last glance, the alpha steps out.
"xiongzhang i didn't mean for you to find out this way." lan wangji says, his head lowered in shame.
"from how long has this been going on?" lan xichen asks, the usual tender tome in his voice gone.
"since caiyi." lan wangji replies.
"him and you .. are you sure of this wangji?" lan xichen asks and lan wangji nods at him, affirmative.
"very well." lan xichen says and he too leaves.
——
lan wangji's life has gone from craving wei ying's touch to finding out he has been pregnant all this time since the night in caiyi, in the matter of a few hours.
the reactions to the news were nothing like lan wangji had imagined, "it seems as though er-gongzi is with child. though it's too soon to tell anyone, there has been a change in his pulse."
lan wangji's eyes snapped to wei ying, this was not what they had discussed or even thought of, sure wei ying said he loved lan wangji and would want to marry him but having a child was not was one of the discussions they have had.
wei ying was completely still for a long moment, lan xichen was holding a very shocked lan qiren, preventing his fall, he seemed few minutes away from qi deviation.
when wei ying did not say anything, lan wangji dismissed the doctor and got up from the bed, "wei ying, are you upset?" lan wangji asks.
"why would he be upset? he does not get—"
"shufu please." lan wangji turns to his brother with glistening eyes.
"we will wait for you in your study." lan xichen says with a nod.
once his family is out of the bedchambers too, lan wangji turns to a still frozen wei ying, he takes the alpha's hand in his own and intertwines their fingers, "wei ying, please say something." lan wangji says, "are you unhappy?"
"huh— what?"
"this wasn't something we planned it is a sudden news but if you do not want—"
"no! no. oh my god, lan zhan what are you talking about? how could i be unhappy. is this something that you want though? we— you've never been with anyone it was equally surprising for you. do you— would you have this baby? our baby?" wei ying says scrambling to hold lan wangji, touching his cheeks, arm, waist all at once.
"yes. our baby." lan wangji nods.
"our baby. we're going to have a baby, lan zhan! i will finally have a family of my own." wei ying says, tears gathering in his eyes as he closes the distance between them and kisses him on the mouth.
wei ying pulls back a little, still holding lan wangji's face close to him, "lan zhan, i knocked you up in the first go. i am never stop talking about it."
"wei ying! do not speak of this with the others." lan wangji half heartily scolds him.
"your uncle is going to hate me so much." wei ying says with a grin and lan wangji is helpless to not kiss the mole on his lips.
finding out lan wangji is pregnant with his child has given wei ying newfound confidence, he has been arguing with his uncle over the details of their marriage ever since.
"wangji will not be marrying out of cloud recesses." uncle says rejecting wei ying's idea of moving to lotus pier after their marriage.
they were currently sitting in yashi with lan xichen and jiang yanli on either sides of lan wangji on the arhat bed, jiang wanyin and wei ying stitting on the low table across his uncle discussing the details.
"have you heard of any alpha marrying outside his home?" wei ying retorts, lan xichen and jiang yanli laugh next to him in their own ways.
jiang wanyin rolls his eyes and scolds wei ying, "wei wuxian! behave."
"well, are you ready to deal with me all the time?" wei ying says looking at lan qiren with a mischievous smile.
"you will stay here and you will follow all the rules, wei wuxian!" uncle yells.
"grandmaster lan, wei wuxian is the alpha. the head disciple of yunmeng jiang, even though the circumstances are not usual, if lan er-gongzi were to be betrothe—"
"wangji will not be going to lotus pier." lan qiren says with a tone of dismissal, slamming his hand on the table.
"uncle, it's best if we discuss this once jiang-zongzhu arrives." lan xichen says.
"this is not up for discussion." lan qiren says turning his head away from everyone. "no nephew or grandchild of mine will be living in any place other than cloud recesses."
lan wangji's heart flutters at hearing his uncle call lan wangji's baby his grandchild.
wei ying laughs loudly, "is that what this is about? grandmaster lan wants to hoard his grandnephews?"
"wei wuxian!" jiang wanyin smacks him on the shoulder.
"grandchild." lan qiren corrects and does not say anything further.
"alright, alright. how about this, lan zhan and i will live neither in cloud recesses nor lotus pier. we will get a place in caiyi and you may come visit us whenever you wish."
"not up for discussion." lan qiren glares at him.
"what do you mean caiyi?" jiang wanyin starts, "do you know how far that is from yunmeng? how will i see my neph—" he abruptly falls quiet.
"nephew? is that what you were going to say jiang cheng? awhh!" wei ying laughs and pulls jiang wanyin in a side hug who keeps his face lowered with a frown.
lan wangji sits in silence, his brother trying to placate the situation but neither wei ying nor their uncle budge.
"uncle." lan wangji says, "once the baby turns a year old we will figure out the housing in caiyi, until then we will stay in cloud recesses."
lan qiren grunts, "did he put you to this?" pointing an accusing fingers at wei wuxian.
"we have not had a single moment alone since the news, shufu." wei ying says.
"who is your shufu? shut up boy!" uncle scolds wei ying then turns to lan wangji, "if you've already decided then fine!" lan qiren stands up and stalks to the door, "xichen, make sure he and wangji are not left unchaperoned until jiang-zongzhu arrives."
"what? that's a very stupid rule. we're already having a baby." wei ying says as soon as lan qiren walks out.
"wei wuxian! you will be copying the code of conduct three hundred times for breaking the rules." lan qiren says appearing again at the door.
"but—"
lan qiren leaves.
the entire day wei ying spends in the library, lan xichen and jiang yanli accompany lan wangji to the infirmary to get the necessary herbs for his childs growth.
they stay with lan wangji until the evening, only after dinner do they return back to their respective rooms, lan wangji has half a mind to go back in the library but the day has been too long so he decides to just take a bath and rest for the night.
lan wangji takes off his robes and gently lowers himself in the tub, the warm water helping him relax. gently lan wangji caresses his stomach, blush spreading over his neck as he remembers his alpha's words.
i knocked you up in the first go.
lan wangji smiles.
he hears a loud thud from his bedchambers and is ready to call for bichen when he hears wei ying, "lan zhan? where are you?"
"wei ying." lan wangji calls from the bath and wei ying is next to him in no time.
"ah, lan zhan. your uncle did not let me leave until curfew. i think he hates me." wei ying says.
"you shouldn't be here, wei ying. we have already broken too many rules." lan wangji says.
wei ying leans down to kiss his forehead, "i cannot stay away from you. it was difficult as is earlier but now that i know you're carrying our baby, i just can't. jiang cheng got frustrated and kicked me out anyways." wei ying says.
lan wangji smiles and caresses wei ying's cheek with his wet hands, "things are rushing too fast, i hope you do not end up resenting us. uncle is adamant on rushing the wedding and us staying in cloud recesses."
"i would not have it any other way." wei ying kneels down next to tub and holds lan wangji's palm, "do you know what jiang cheng said when i told him about the baby? he said he wasn't surprised given how i kept talking about you, boasting about our interactions all the time." wei ying laughs.
"are you certain?" lan wangji asks.
they're young. lan xichen had said so too, both of their elder siblings were yet to marry, lan xichen wasn't even betrothed to anyone. wei ying has a bright future ahead of him, he's one of the finest swordsman, a skilled cultivator, sharp witted and intelligent in a way lan wangji has never seen before.
it seemed all too much like how his father had trapped his mother, a bright personality who had the misfortune of crossing paths with his father.
"i am more than certain, to have a family, a child with the most beautiful cultivator, with my pretty lan zhan. little wei ying would be very happy and so is this wei ying of yours." wei ying.
"mn." lan wangji says, "we are your family."
"my very own family." wei wuxian agrees, he slots their lips together, hands caressing lan wangji's neck, "now let's find out if i can fuck another baby into you."
"wei ying!"
