He knew that Lan Zhan held tradition close to his heart. Wei Ying
immediately let go and reached up to fiddle with the knot at the back of
the ribbon.
"Lan Zhan! I couldn't do that to you! Why didn't you or the others say
anything? I wouldn't want you to be so unconventional." That was Wei Ying's
job, after all. "Surely there could be another way for me to show everyone
that I am yours without sacrificing your not wearing the ribbon for so
long!"
The knot that Lan Zhan had tied earlier that morning proved to be more
stubborn than Wei Ying gave credit for. As he struggled with the knot, he
pleadingly looked at Lan Zhan.
With an almost tender expression on his face, he let Wei Ying struggle with the knot for a minute before grasping his hand and pulling it away from his hair.
"Wei Ying. I want you to have it and wear it, daily." The tips of his ears went slightly red, thinking about the reason why he enjoyed the sight of his future husband wearing his hair ribbon. "Leave it. I will get another soon."
He should have already gotten one; they weren't exactly hard to commission. But he had enjoyed it, knowing that when people looked at him and Wei Ying together, they knew what it meant.
He stopped immediately when Lan Zhan grasped his hand. Wei Ying noticed the
pinking tinge to his ears. That piqued his curiosity. A grin bloomed on his
face.
“Is there a reason why you like seeing me wear it so much?”
Since Wei Ying didn't try to pull his hand away, Lan Zhan curled his fingers around Wei Ying's palm, gently running his thumb over the soft skin there, tracing the lines in his palm.
"It marks you as mine, for everyone to see." He spoke quietly, even softer than usual for him. "When people see us together, they know what it means, what I have given you."
The red of his ears deepened. "And it makes me happy. To see you wearing it."
The feeling of Lan Zhan tracing his thumb over the lines of his palm had
Wei Ying shivering a little at the intimate touch. He moves closer,
enjoying how dark red Lan Zhan's ears are turning. He wants to crawl into
his beloved's lap yet knows that would probably be considered improper.
Instead, he reaches up his free hand and brushes his finger tips along the
red ears.
"Are there other ways I could make my Lan Zhan happy?"
It would be improper for Wei Ying to crawl into his lap, or for Lan Zhan to pull him into his lap. Improper and an even bigger breach of propriety than having Wei Ying stay in the Jingshi before their marriage. Lan Qiren had had a fit when Lan Zhan refused that directive.
But it's just them and Lan Zhan wants. So he reached out to grasp his hips, pulling Wei Ying into his lap, immediately burying his face in the curve of Wei Ying's neck. Improper and scandalous, but he can do this now. So he does.
"Mm. You make me happy." There's nothing else Wei Ying needs to do, truly; just exist.
He moved easily into his lap; slotted to fit perfectly as if they had truly
been made for each other. Wei Ying had to quiet the voice within that said
he didn't deserve this: Lan Zhan's affections, Lan Zhan's love, Lan Zhan's
life with him. He gasped when he felt Lan Zhan bury his face against his
sensitive neck. His breath stuttered, feeling that simple action fan some
spark within him.
"Lan Zhan," he gasped out quietly. Gooseflesh appeared where Lan Zhan was
against his neck. "Surely, there is something I can do as well."
He could taste that neck, if he so desired, although he made no move to actually kiss Wei Ying's neck. With his betrothed on his lap like this, it probably wasn't a smart move.
"You do, by wearing the ribbon and being here. I can think of little else." Not exactly true, but not a lie; more an omission of sorts. There was plenty he could think of that he wanted, but those thoughts bordered on inappropriate.
"I would—" He lifted his head, staring at the red ribbon still in Wei Wuxian's hair, contemplative. "Like to wear your colors." Red and black were not exactly suitable against his robes, but a trace element wouldn't hurt.
He yearned for Lan Zhan to just taste, do something and not
tease him like this. Then Lan Zhan spoke and Wei Ying had to concentrate to
hear what he was saying. Certainly, inappropriate thoughts were running
through Wei Ying's head that wishes that they could throw Lan tradition in
the deepest part of the lake and put the erotic novel he had teased Lan
Zhan with so many years ago to shame. He swallowed deeply when Lan Zhan
lifted his head.
It was going to be a very difficult wait until they were allowed to share a
marital bed.
Wearing...his colors? He couldn't imagine Lan Zhan wearing black nor red.
Especially, since red seemed to be reminiscent of the Wen clan, still a
fresh memory for quite a few people. The red and black colors making some
uneasy in their memory of the Yiling Patriarch.
"Lan Zhan," he breathed. It was a little difficult to think clearly. But an
idea formed in his mind. "...perhaps I could gift you with something. On
our day."
He stared at Wei Ying for a moment before nodding. He would gladly accept anything Wei Ying wanted to give him, that was a given, no matter what it was. (As long as it did not involve Wei Ying leaving.)
"Our wedding day, then." Which was, in his opinion, too far away. The fact that they couldn't just elope and make their bows somewhere else was frustrating. Returning his head to Wei Ying's shoulder, he nudged away the collar of his robe, pressing a kiss to the curve of his neck.
He tried to keep it light, knowing they shouldn't do anything more than kiss, but even his resolve flagged, at times. So he bit down, firm enough to mark, immediately soothing the sting with his tongue.
Wei Ying was asking himself the very same question. Why couldn't they
simply go on their own? It would've been a much better idea. But it
could've brought some kind of scandal upon the Lan clan.
He reached up after Lan Zhan moved his head to lay on his shoulder once
more. Teasing would not do. A tug on his own red hair ribbon undid it and
it fell from him just as Lan Zhan bit down on him, sending sparks and
lightning through his veins and causing his body to jerk a little.
"Lan Zhan!" he gasped.
He had to keep quiet. Living together in sin was one thing, actually
sinning while doing so before the wedding was another. He couldn't give any
indicator of sorts. Wei Ying bit down on his lip and held back the moan
that threatened to escape. He held his ribbon tightly.
"I-in the meantime," he said, licking his lips and drawing deep breaths,
"maybe you could...wear my ribbon. Around your wrist, perhaps, or in your
hair."
It wouldn't have brought scandal down on the Lan clan, or if it did, Lan Zhan didn't much care. But he was Chief Cultivator, and that was a big deal, and if the cultivation world was to accept Wei Ying as part of his life, there needed to be official recognition.
The gasp made him smirk, a little teasing lift of his lips hidden in Wei Ying's neck. He didn't lift his head until Wei Ying brought up the ribbon, which did draw his attention.
He studied his beloved, hair now falling around his face. "Which would you prefer?" he asked. "I will accept either."
There's a flush that graced Wei Ying's cheeks from how he had gasped Lan
Zhan's name. Was it a preview of nights to come? Or could he be shameless
and take up the Chief Cultivator's time in between meetings? Many a naughty
thought began to run through his mind. Lunch delights. Lan Zhan needing to
conduct a meeting with Wei Ying's own bite marks on him.
He considered it a moment before slipping the red ribbon through Lan Zhan's
dark locks until it could be tied around the hair tie that is already in
place. This way, the world could see flashes of it and know to whom Lan
Zhan belonged to.
Lan Zhan was a man of infinite patience. Waiting a few more weeks was nothing, considering the long wait to find Wei Ying again, even though it was maddening to not put his hands all over his beloved.
But once that was over, once they were officially married, Lan Zhan wouldn't want to keep his hands off. His duties were important, but they could find the time.
He lowered his head so Wei Ying could tie the ribbon around his head, then reached up to feel the ribbon, letting the ends of the ribbon trail through his fingers. "How does it look?"
It seemed strange to see the streak of read against Lan Zhan's pale
complexion. And yet it seemed...right. Wei Ying brushed his fingers along
the ribbon and smiled softly, dragging his tough along the length of it and
toward the ends.
"Like you belong to me. As I belong to you," he replied. "As you would say:
shameless."
A grin played on his lips as he made himself more comfortable in Lan Zhan's
lap.
"Shameless," he echoed, lips curled up in a smirk that he could easily hide in Wei Ying's neck once again. He tightened his grip on Wei Ying as the other man settled in his lap, careful to refrain from squeezing too hard.
"I do belong to you," he said, after a moment of quiet. "I will always be yours."
Wei Ying knew that he was already half hard in his robes from Lan Zhan
nuzzling at his neck and the sharp bite that truly sent the blood heading
between his legs. He had to stop himself from wanting to rock a little
against Lan Zhan in this position. He chuckled when he echoed his
sentiments instead.
"And I will always be yours, Lan Zhan," he said quietly.
The grip on his hips had him harden a little bit more and Wei Ying tried to
recite some of the Lan rules in his head to calm down his blood from
getting too hot.
The robes left little to the imagination, at least when Wei Ying was in his lap, pressed against him. Feeling his betrothed harden against him sparked an answering lust in Lan Zhan, blood pooling between his legs, making him grow hard.
There were easily a hundred rules he could recite to cool his blood and not stir his passions. And a hundred more rules on why he should do exactly that. They all fled when Wei Ying promised to be his. A soft sound, half-moan and half-growl, escaped him, and he twisted, lowering Wei Ying to the floor, settling between his legs.
"I wanted to wait," he whispered, staring down at his beloved. "Show you the respect you deserve. But I can't."
He gasped and held on as Lan Zhan moved them, lowering him to the floor.
There was the whispered promise of wanting to wait but surely...Wei Ying
reaches up and brushes his fingers along Lan Zhan's cheek and sharp jawline.
"Haven't we waited long enough? Lan Zhan. I've waited two lifetimes.
Certainly, that would provide an exception to the rules," he partially
moaned. "And you still respect me. You love me, do you not?"
It's daring of him to accuse Lan Zhan of this but was it hardly an
accusation? They knew that they loved each other. What was the point of
propriety?
"Ridiculous question. Of course, I love you, and will respect you no matter what." Nothing would change that, especially considering everything they had been through.
He turned his head into Wei Ying's hand, pressing a kiss to his fingers before leaning down to capture Wei Ying's lips in a firm kiss, open-mouthed and heavy right from the start.
Wei Ying arched up and met his kiss hungrily. He moaned and let his tongue slip into Lan Zhan's mouth, tasting him desperately, and pulling him down against him. He wanted more of Lan Zhan against him, wanted the feel of his beloved, more of his beloved.
He busied his hands with the belt around Lan Zhan's waist, trying to get rid of it and undo it. When he pulled back for air, he gasped.
Why did he want to wait? At the moment, he couldn't remember; Wei Ying's fingers at his belt were distracting, not to mention the expanse of collarbone and chest that Lan Zhan revealed as he slid his hands beneath the neck of Wei Ying's robes.
"Wanted to show the world." He punctuated his words with hasty kisses, hands sliding lower so he could deftly untie Wei Ying's belt. "You are worthy of proper respect. Beloved and cherished."
He did have to pull back after that, so he could spread open the robes covering his beloved, finally baring Wei Ying to his eyes.
The neck of his own robes gave way, loosening and allowing more of him to be revealed to Lan Zhan. He tried to keep up with his kisses, pulling the belt away from Lan Zhan and tossing it aside.
"I don't care if the world sees that. I care if you see that," he breathed.
Lucky for Lan Zhan, Wei Ying had been wearing his under robes to relax in this evening. He felt the fabric give way under Lan Zhan's steady hands and leaned back against the floor, spreading himself out for Lan Zhan, shameless.
With the belt gone, his robes are a little looser, the ties the only thing keeping them together, and the sheer number of layers keeping him presentable. He's much too focused on Wei Ying to care about his robes at the moment, mouthing at his neck.
"Wei Ying," he whispered, voice deep, filled with desire, lifting up so he could look down at his lover. "Want you to feel good."
With the under robes pulled aside, leaving Wei Ying bare beneath his hands and his eyes, Lan Zhan lean down again, trailing his lips down the warm skin of his chest, stopping only when he reached a nipple, lavishing it with his tongue before nipping at it, trying to pull as many sounds as possible out of his betrothed.
How his name rolled off of Lan Zhan's tongue has Wei Ying's toes practically curl in pleasure. How was it that the man could communicate so much with just his name? He bit his lip to keep from moaning too loudly and didn't bother to hide his arousal.
He was panting softly by the time Lan Zhan's heated gaze. His lips sent shivers along Wei Ying's spine, cool against his own heated skin. He couldn't stop the gasp that escaped his lips when he felt Lan Zhan's attention on a sensitive nipple.
He whimpered, trying to keep quiet in the Jingshi by biting down on his lips. He reaches up and tangles his fingers in his dark hair, archive up to the bites and lashing.
