I have class in seven hours. Instead of sleeping, I wrote this. Enjoy!

“Lan Zhaaaaaan!!! Look at me, look at me!!”

Lan Wangji steadfastly ignores Wei Wuxian who gives a big pout.

“Look at meeeeee!!!!”

Lan Wangji give a long, suffering sigh and turns to look at Wei Wuxian who grins and babbles about the adventures he went on throughout the day, despite his full day of classes. Lan Wangji waited for a moment and then said, “Continue your work.”

“But Lan Zhaaaan, my hands are about to fall off!! Can’t you show me some mercy, gege?”

Lan Wangji sighed. He was so ridiculous.

Lan Wangji liked him all the same.

[Huh.]

Lan Wangji twitched but went back to his work. He completely forgot about that voice in his head.

[Hey, Lan Wangji.]

What.

[Oh, don’t look so annoyed. I never asked to be in this situation!]

Lan Wangji schooled his face back to impassiveness as he remembered the night hunt he went on recently. It had been a relatively simple hunt, until the yaogui had escaped from its bindings and landed an attack on one of the senior disciples who had joined him that day. The attack was not fatal, but due to the nature of the yaogui’s power, had separated the disciple’s soul from his body. A soul that accidentally crashed into Lan Wangji and has been since possessing him. They didn’t try to get them separated but the concluded it would take time to separate them.

[Anyway, so. You like the kid, huh?]

Lan Wangji stayed silent despite the soul’s - Lan Lifang’s - pestering. He was distracted but for a few moments. It was enough time, however, for Wei Wuxian to pull a prank on Lan Wangji and illusory butterflies flooded his vision.

“Wei Wuxian!” Lan Wangji seethed.

Wei Wuxian laughed uproariously. “I finally got you to snap! Hahahahaha!!!”

[Wait a moment.] Lan Lifang said. [Wait a moment.]

But Lan Wangji could not hear him. He was too busy pushing Wei Wuxian out of the library.

In hindsight, he probably should have paid attention.

………..

A couple days later, Wei Wuxian was up to his antics yet again and Lan Wangji had about enough when Lan Lifang suddenly overtook his body.

[What do you think you’re doing??] Lan Wangji hissed.

Oh, be quiet, cousin. I’m getting you a lover.

[What???]

“Wei Wuxian, why do you tease me so?” He asked with Lan Wangji’s voice.

“Huh, because it’s so interesting to see your reactions of course!”

“You’ve gotten enough reactions from me. Why continue?”

“I, uhh, I don’t know? I just want you to keep showing me more sides to yourself!”

“Why?”

“Because I want to be your friend!”

Lan Lifang tilted his head to the side. “Then why does your behavior say something different?”

“H-Huh? What do you—”

“You’re always pushing my buttons. But I’ve never seen you do that with others. Is it because I’m quieter? Or….” Lan Lifang stared intensely at Wei Wuxian. “Because you like me that way?”

And to both Lan Wangji and Lan Lifang’s surprise, Wei Wuxian blushed a bright red.

“W-What are you talking about! Of course I like you!”

“I meant the way lovers like one another.” Lan Lifang sent a quick apology to Lan Wangji. “The way I like you.” Then he returned control to Lan Wangji.

You coward!!!!! Lan Wangji cursed in his mind.

[Good luck, cousin.]

In the end, it all worked out wonderfully. Lan Wangji managed to stammer his way through a proper confession (with guidance and encouragement from Lan Lifang) and was shocked to see his feelings were returned.

How did you know?

[Hmm?]

How did you know he’d return my feelings?

[It’s simple. Wei Wuxian’s behavior is so similar to when boys pull the pigtails of a girl he likes. He always wanted your attention on him whether it be good or bad. And….] He trailed off.

And?

[I’ve seen him staring at your muscles.]

…Ah.

Out of curiosity, during a sparring session, where it was acceptable for Lan disciples to dress lightly, Lan Wangji openly flexed his muscles when Wei Wuxian came up to bother him. He watched as Wei Wuxian’s words stuttered to a halt as he stared, open-mouthed, at Lan Wangji’s biceps.

Huh. It seemed what his cousin said was true. Lan Wangji would thank him later for bagging him the love of his life.

After he throttled him of course.
