He can't keep him orderly as a full-time job. Income was an issue as this world does run on money.

"I received money from helping out at the town's library." And doing odd jobs, which is easy as all he has to do is ask and help out. "So if you don't have your drink yet, it will be on me. We can go to a bar and then see a 'movie' together, which is like a theatre and stories with pictures."

"Mm..someone was telling me about those. Apparently there are some that have zombies but they are different from the dead we are used to." Wei Wuxian knows he needs to find a job. He doesn't think it will be too hard. He has several qualities that should be fairly useful depending on the job he finds.

"A movie about fierce corpses?" Somehow, Lan Wangji preferred to see something else, but if that's what he wanted. "All right. We'll see what is offered."

With lunch over, finished the rest of the chores, and the noon passing. Lan Wangji is serious about taking him to the bar.

"Let's go."

"I don't if they are showing anything else but that is what the guy was talking about when he was discussing the moving pictures."

He stood up and stretched. "Okay, lead the way."

Lan Wangji holds one of his hands as he leads him outside. For a small town, it seems all right during the day. He knew Wei Ying needs his drinks every now and then, so he shows him the bar in the town.

"This is the only bar in town. The other one is at nightclub." Opening the door, it seems like an ordinary bar with its high chairs, bar counter, and patrons in their booths.

"I won't drink anything." And Lan Wangji orders a soda for himself as he finds a seat.

"Night club?" Wei Wuxian quirks an eyebrow at that. Something open at night..while Lan Wangji is sleeping and he is bored perhaps? He doesn't really know the term but he is interested now. Wei Wuxian is definitely a night owl.

He sits down and smiles at the bartender, telling him to surprise him with his best drink.

The bartender serves what seems to look like a glass of wine while Lan Wangji has a glass of soda.

"Mn. People go there to dance very late nights. Perhaps, for once, I'll go with you pass my curfew." No, he won't be sleeping. For once, he's up for the challenge to stay up late night and be a night owl with him.

"You'd never make it Lan Zhan. that body of yours is too well trained." He is sure of it. He doesn't even know what time it was when they finally passed out in the cave but he's pretty sure Lan wangji's internal clock had still worked perfectly.

After some thought, “Maybe not today, but another time.” As tonight they’re going to the movies. “But you’re right. Still I would like to go with you and dance with you when I am able”

Lan Wangji wants to prove he’s not so strict on the rules. He haven’t scolded him or reminds him, as he has broken many rules himself already by being with him.

He smiles rather amused by that, "You want to dance with me? Have you ever danced before, Lan Zhan?"

Not that Wei Wuxian has any experience with dancing either but it's just a little hard to imagine Lan Wangji dancing the night away.

He drinks from his cup, almost shyly. "No. Never. I play music, but never dance."

With a soft expression, "But yes. I want to dance with you. I always wanted too." He doesn't mind if he lacks experience. He just wants to be with him and dance with him.

"So I'm willing to bet if I can stay up late at night with you, then you let me dance with you."

"If you manage to stay awake, me dancing the night away with you will be your prize. It's agreed."

It's an amusing bet but if Lan wangji manages to stay awake past that ridiculously early bedtime then it will be one habit that Wei Wuxian will be happy to help him break.

At that, his eyes lighten up. Usually, he holds such a stoic expression, but with the way he lights up, he is very happy. But then the things Wei Wuxian said, having waited for 16 years, always longing and wishing to hear him say it, and coming from him.

"Really? Will that be my prize? A dance with you." He genuinely smiles, and from his heart, a hushed tone. "I would love too. It's a bet."

"The consequence is, if you fall asleep on the dance floor..You have to sleep on the couch for a week." without him, on his own, downstairs. If anyone can get someone to break out of a long instilled habit..it's Wei Wuxian. He will figure out just what it will take.

"I think you and I both know we can't last that long for a week." He doesn't know how long he's going to feel like alpha and being unable to be apart from him for long periods of time. When his urges and heats surge through his body, he finds his scent irresistible.

"I won't sleep. I will win. If you lose..." What kind of punishment he could give him? "You have to do laundry and wash clothes for a week."

"That's what makes it a punishment! If it isn't hard to endure then it's not much of one." He's had enough punishment through his life to know what they should be like.

He makes a face at his punishment. "Why do I have to be punished? I know I can stay awake." He really doesn't want that punishment either.

With a pout, "It's not a fair punishment if I sleep on the couch. I can't endure sleeping cold. Don't ask that of me and I won't ask that of you. Not only that but when I put up the barrier, it can only cover the bedroom."

Lan Wangji finished up his drink. "Cooking isn't a good punishment. It used to be copying lines but that's punishment for the juniors. So, the chores I can think of is cleaning."

"Okay okay..so no punishment. Only reward." Because he really doesn't want to do chores. Unless of course Lan Wangji actually wanted the house to fall apart, in which case go ahead and put Wei Wuxian in charge of chores. He'll be punished anyway if Lan wangji falls asleep in the middle of the club because wei Wuxian will end up having to carry him all the way home.

This is the moment where he realized his partner can't cook or clean or do any chores at all, and preferred reward over punishment.

"And what kind of reward do you think you deserve?"

Wei Wuxian finishes his drink and when he sets his glass back down his looks at Lan Wangji with a sultry expression. "What kind of reward do I get if I make Lan sect's star pupil break rules? Well of course my reward would be the Lan sect's star pupil."

Because if Lan Wangji manages to break that habit, it means the bedtime goes right out the window and Wei Wuxian can enjoy as many late nights as he wants.

Lan Wangji's heartbeat speeds up, also looking at him with a dazed look. Almost unbelieving him.

"The reward is me?" He can't believe it. But if Wei Wuxian is pulling a trick, knowing his mischievous nature, Lan Wangji happily fell for it. Again and again.

"You got yourself a bet. But if you lose, accept your punishment. It's laundry duty. That's all I ask."

Wei Wuxian hangs his head. He really doesn't want to lose and have to do laundry. He knows the basics but he certainly doesn't know how to do anything with the technology of this world. He's likely to ruin everything but if he has to do it, then he will do it.

"It's a deal."

The outcome of his struggle at the laundromat will be amusing enough. Wangji leans forward, so he can kiss him and taste the alcohol on his lips.

"Not today. For tonight, come to the cinema and watch a movie with me?"

He smiles against those lips, kissing him back briefly before pulling away just long enough to respond, "It's your treat so I'll go anywhere you want me to." Then he returns to the kiss again.

"Anywhere? I have to be creative than in taking you where I want us to go." Taking his hand, he paid his tab and leads him out of the bar. Because there's a lot of things he wanted to do with him and experience in this strange town as they have the entire day free to themselves.

He's leading him to the cinema where there are bright lights and posters of the movies currently playing, remembering he wanted to see a movie about zombies, but there's a variety of movies currently playing.
