Wei Wuxian finished the remaining liquor from his jar of Emperor\u2019s Smile and then laid back, resting his head on his husband\u2019s lap. He sighed, content. He had good liquor, a warm room, and the company of his favourite person, what more could he ask for? Well, there was definitely more if he were in the mood to despair, but as it was, he was not. Nope, right now he was perfectly content as Lan Zhan stroked his fingers through his hair.<\/p>\n
An idea sparked.<\/p>\n
\u201cLan Zhan, let\u2019s play a game,\u201d Wei Wuxian said.<\/p>\n
Lan Zhan paused stroking Wei Wuxian\u2019s hair. \u201cMn?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo truths and a lie.\u201d Wei Wuxian had overheard Jin Ling and some of the Lan junior disciples playing it earlier in the week, when the Lan sect hosted a conference for all sects to attend.<\/p>\n
\u201cLying is forbidden.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLan Zhan<\/em>,\u201d Wei Wuxian pleaded, \u201cI\u2019m basically forbidden! Overlook this rule for now. Please.\u201d<\/p>\n When Lan Zhan didn\u2019t immediately answer, Wei Wuxian sighed and sat up. \u201cOkay then. I\u2019m going to bed,\u201d he said, pulling away from his husband. It wasn\u2019t even Lan Zhan\u2019s bedtime of 9PM. Going to bed at this hour was unheard of for Wei Wuxian. He wasn\u2019t tired in the slightest\u2014he would fully admit he was just being bratty.<\/p>\n Lan Zhan caught Wei Wuxian\u2019s wrist. His eyebrows furrowed. \u201cWei Ying.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYeah?\u201d<\/p>\n Lan Zhan pulled Wei Wuxian close, planting a soft kiss on the inside of Wei Wuxian\u2019s wrist. \u201cI will play.\u201d<\/p>\n Wei Wuxian\u2019s cheeks warmed up the way they did everytime Lan Zhan was tender with him. \u201cLan Zhan! It\u2019s no fun if you feel forced to play,\u201d he said. He fell back on the bed and tugged on Lan Zhan\u2019s sleeve to come down with him. \u201cI\u2019m sorry for being childish. How about we just lay here and I\u2019ll be the one saying three things and you have to guess which one is factually incorrect<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMn.\u201d Lan Zhan made himself comfortable on the bed and then pulled Wei Wuxian close to him, his head on Lan Zhan\u2019s chest, looking up at the ceiling. Wei Wuxian smiled dopily when he felt Lan Zhan kiss the top of his head.<\/p>\n Wei Wuxian cleared his throat. \u201cOkay. Let\u2019s start off easy. Emperor\u2019s Smile is my favourite liquor. The pork rib and lotus soup my Shijie made was the greatest. Dogs,\u201d he repressed a shiver, \u201care my favourite animal.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe last one is incorrect,\u201d Lan Zhan said. His tone was light, a sign that he was amused.<\/p>\n \u201cYep, you got it. Next one! Lan Zhan\u2019s favourite animal is a bunny. I love Lan sect\u2019s bland food. Nie Huaisang paints better than he fights.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe second.\u201d<\/p>\n Wei Wuxian gasped, affronted. \u201cWhat would Sect Leader Nie think!?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe would most likely agree.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, probably. Okay how about this then\u2026 Lan Zhan is my husband. Lan Qiren hates me. You secretly enjoyed the porn I hid in your books all that time ago at Cloud Recesses library.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWei Ying,\u201d Lan Zhan said, in that admonishing tone he always used when Wei Wuxian said something he didn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n Wei Wuxain grinned. \u201cWell? Which one is it?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOnly the first one is true. Uncle does not hate you.\u201d<\/p>\n That made Wei Wuxian laugh. If that was true, Lan Qiren sure had an interesting way of expressing himself.<\/p>\n Lan Zhan sat up, pulling Wei Wuxian with him. He tilted Wei Wuxian\u2019s head to meet his gaze. Wei Wuxian\u2019s laughter simmered down. \u201cUncle does not hate you. He disapproves of your method of cultivation, yes. But he has grown fond of you as part of our family and appreciates how happy you make me.\u201d<\/p>\n Wei Wuxian considered this. It sounded outlandish to him but his husband did not lie, after all. He thought back. Madam Yu had been different too, in that she had expressed her love for Jiang Cheng and Shijie in more subtle ways. Maybe it wouldn\u2019t be so farfetched to believe Lan Qiren liked him. Just a little.<\/p>\n \u201cOkay. Maybe Lan Qiren might like me a bit more than he used to. However\u2026\u201d Wei Wuxian smirked and he slowly pushed Lan Zhan down, leaning over him. \u201cYou still got the answer wrong. You enjoyed the porn in your book. Didn\u2019t you, Lan Zhan?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWrong.\u201d Lan Zhan hooked a finger on Wei Wuxian\u2019s collar and pulled him down, barely any distance between them. \u201cDid you forget what I like? Do I have to show you?\u201d<\/p>\n Shit. Wei Wuxian bit his lip. He forgot how easily Lan Zhan could fluster him, even while married. Lan Zhan\u2019s gaze dropped to Wei Wuxian\u2019s mouth. Want stirred in Wei Wuxian. So without missing a beat, Wei Wuxian closed the gap, connecting their mouths.<\/p>\n Everyday was everyday, after all.<\/p>\n \u2014<\/p>\n Later, when Lan Zhan wrapped his arms around Wei Wuxian, pulling him in close, he spoke up. \u201cIt is my turn,\u201d Lan Zhan said, his voice low. Wei Wuxian\u2019s eyes opened wide. Lan Zhan was still thinking about the game? This could be interesting.<\/p>\n \u201cAlright then, go,\u201d Wei Wuxian said.<\/p>\n \u201cI love Wei Ying, Wei Ying is a great husband, and Wei Ying is my favourite.\u201d<\/p>\n Wei Wuxian frowned, his body slightly tensing as he turned around to face his husband. \u201cHuh? Which one is the lie?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAh. Oops. There isn\u2019t one,\u201d Lan Zhan said before pressing a kiss to Wei Wuxian\u2019s forehead. He rested a hand on Wei Wuxian\u2019s hip and Wei Wuxian relaxed into the touch. He had no reason to doubt Lan Zhan, he felt silly getting nervous over nothing.<\/p>\n But he relaxed only for a moment before he proceeded to whack Lan Zhan on the shoulder. \u201cBoo! That\u2019s not how you play the game!\u201d<\/p>\n Lan Zhan let out a small chuckle, which always led to Wei Wuxian laughing too. It was one of his favourite sounds.<\/p>\n \u201cLove you,\u201d Lan Zhan eventually mumbled against Wei Wuxian\u2019s lips.<\/p>\n \u201cLove you too,\u201d Wei Wuxian mumbled back before capturing Lan Zhan\u2019s mouth in a gentle kiss. He turned over and let Lan Zhan pull him in close. The feeling of Lan Zhan\u2019s solid body behind him was, as always, a comforting presence to fall asleep with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In which Wei Wuxian just wants to play two truths and a lie with his husband.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[7,39,66,35],"fandom":[33],"rating":[3],"ship":[34],"class_list":["post-204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-m-m","tag-canonverse","tag-established-relationship","tag-fiab-exchange","tag-post-canon","fandom-mdzs","rating-teen","ship-wangxian","wpautop"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":205,"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204\/revisions\/205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204"},{"taxonomy":"fandom","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fandom?post=204"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=204"},{"taxonomy":"ship","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloverso.me\/fic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ship?post=204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
