Work Text:
One of the unspoken pleasures of living in Cloud Recesses were its lazy summer evenings. While summer in Lotus Pier was oppressively hot, Cloud Recesses was just hot enough to want to laze about, but not so much that one tended to sweat even while standing still in the shade.
This summer evening, after all their duties were tended too, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji had retired to the Jingshi after dinner. Lan Wangji sat at his desk, reading over student reports, while Wei Wuxian sat at the end of the desk, writing a letter.
Stretching suddenly with a yawn, Wei Wuxian dropped his brush to the side (careful not to get ink anywhere, lest be glared at), and let himself fall onto his elbow towards Lan Wangji.
As Lan Wangji continued to read the reports undisturbed, Wei Wuxian pondered the space between them and how best to cross it.
His usual strategy was to bodily throw himself at Lan Wangji, knowing the other would always catch him. But not today. Today Wei Wuxian was going for stealthy.
Rolling more onto his knees, he stretched out bodily, arms akimbo so not to hit his companion, then settled on his stomach, head pressed to Lan Wangji’s side, his left arm loosely encircling his waist from behind.
Lan Wangji looked away from the students’ reports to bend down and kiss Wei Wuxian’s forehead.
“Ah, Lan Zhan’s kisses are the best, no matter where they fall!”
A tiny smile graced Lan Wangji’s face as he began to pepper small kisses on Wei Wuxian’s forehead and temples.
“There is no one better to kiss than Wei Ying, no matter where.”
