The hot-tub is refreshing. So Lan Wangji is looking forward to spending a quiet evening reading, writing, meditating to the incense he burns, and curling up with him on the bed, and don't do much, and just focus on his healing.
"Mn." He slowly climbs out of the tub, reaching for the towel to dry off his body, and squeeze and dry the water out of his hair, and then get dressed in a simple casual gown he wears around the house, and then empties the hot tub through the drain.
He climbs out as well and dries off. He pulls on some pajama pants and rubs the bottom of his hair with the towel. His hair didn't get too wet so he isn't too worried about it as he heads out of the room that houses the hot tub.
He heads to the stairs and climbs them up towards their room, draping the wet towel over the back of a chair as he enters it.
"Ah..I'm going to have to get used to that." He smiles as he reaches out to take it but then pauses. He looks up at the other and presents his hand.
"Why don't you put it on me, Lan Zhan." It is a gift and a symbol of their love. It only seems right that Lan Wangji should be the one to put it back on his finger.
"Mn." With a nod, he delicately slides the ring back on his ring finger. It fits him wonderfully. There's a warm glow when it's on, and the rings help them connect their bond.
Once it's on, Lan Wangji is pink to the tip of his ears. "It's a custom I learned from this world in the books. Couples wear rings to symbolize and expressed their eternal love. I discover it and like it very much. How it works, I propose by asking you to marry me and since you accept, we both wear it at all times to remember each other." Since marriage back home is really complicated, and it's arranged by status, wealth, rank, and given Lan Wangji's status, he will never be able to marry him. So, the choice? Just marry him and elope, since their love is built on breaking all the rules.
"So now we will soon marry, I'll figure out a good date that is lucky for both of us, and we can write up vows." He said with a cheerful excitement. "I was thinking October since I calculated it's going to be the mid-autumn festival."
"Mm..Any day is good as long as it means we are bound to each other Lan Zhan." Bad luck has seemed to follow him his whole life so he hopes that this little light will be the change of luck he needs.
He leans up and kisses Lan Wangji lightly. They have their fights and disagreements, difficult times and the world has tested them to their limits. But no matter what they keep standing and they keep standing together.
"Not just any day. By tradition, we have to consult the calender to make sure on the day we get married, it's going to be a good day that will bring us good luck and fortune. A good day will ensure our wedding will be a lucky day. But I am lucky to have you, my soulmate." He reaches for his hands, fingers intertwining, gently squeeze his hands, and he kisses back. Sweet kisses, gentle kisses, tasting the liquor on his lips, and He smiles as he looks into his eyes. "And I want to make sure you have a lot of good luck."
Seeing the clock that it's noon, "I'm free for the afternoon, so it seems like a good time to meditate and then care for the horses." After that, it's meditation, evening chores of cooking and cleaning. He is in high spirits now that they are formerly engaged and wearing each other's rings.
Wei Wuxian isn't a busy man but he does like to do daily walks around town to make sure there aren't any noticeable changes and take an inventory on what is going on around them. He gives Lan Wangji a playful push, "Go meditate. I've got things to do as well." As much as he would like to simply stay around the house all day, doing so eventually would make him go a little stir crazy. And he doesn't want to do that in case someday they do end up being stuck inside for a long time.
"Mn." He's pretty sure the town is safe for now, so he doesn't worry about him wandering around free as he never wish for Wei Ying to feel cooped up in the house. If he's in trouble, he'll hear from him on the fluid or the magic rings will let him know if he's in danger. Wei Wuxian just needs to be mindful of the silent but harmless spirits and ghosts that lingers around the property of their home, which is spooky, but it's part of living in this world. Doing errands is pretty domestic. He meditates, then cleans around the house and keep it tidy. Then check on the horses for the evening, clean them, and maintains the stable-turned shed.
When evening comes, he alerts Wei Ying on his phone that it's dinner time, and he cooked dinner, so he should meet up with him in the kitchen to eat dinner together.
There's food on the table ready, which is hot noodles. It just that his bowl is spicy and full of chillis and hearty portion of meats. When he returns back to the house and into the kitchen, he cups his face and kisses him.
He kisses him back and then separates before he can get too drawn into it, not wanting his food to get too cold if he gets distracted. He settles at the table and starts to eat.
With a nod, "Mn. Did you have fun...?" At least, with him going out, he gets some exercise instead of being cooped up in the house. He joins him at the table and eats hot, steaming noodles with chopsticks provided.
He nods as he eats, "I mostly just wanted to see if there were any changes around town. It's seems quieter then normal since the dome fell and I'm just worried something bigger is coming." So he likes to make sure he doesn't notice any subtle changes indicating a bigger problem.
"Mn. For thing, it is quiet. It's getting darker quickly because of the autumn season. Just be careful of the monsters that roam at night." Which is why Lan Wangji warns him to go just go to the bar, get food from the market, and hurry back home back when it gets too dark.
"I don't know Wei Ying. I have a feeling it would. I get dreams and visions sometimes. I think nothing in this town will stay peaceful. If anything happens, you have to listen to me and take my advice, and prepare." However, he has confidence that they will make it.
"Is the noodles okay? Eat it while it's hot." He said as he slurps it up with a chopstick.
"I know how to handle myself, Lan Zhan. You don't need to worry so much about me." He isn't weak and he has certainly faced his share of monsters and made it out unscathed. He can handle whatever this place does.
He nods as he takes a big mouthful of the noodles, not bothering to respond since his mouth is now full.
"I worry because I care about you. Remember that." He said softly, and becomes quiet, eating their dinner of noodles in peace.
After a while, when dinner is eaten and gone, and it's time for evening errands. "I'm going to clean up and do last-minute chores. You can check on the horses if you like, and then it's bath time and it's off to bed."
He nods and stands up, going off to bed the horses down for the night. He makes sure they have plenty of water and hay and their stall is clean so they can lay down if they want. Then once they are secure he heads back inside.
He heads up the stairs, calling out to wherever Lan Wangji has made it to, "Everything is good out there."
By then, Lan Wangji has finished every chore for the night. He already showered, so he is simply waiting for him in the bedroom to finished for the night. He's sitting in front of the vanity, combing his hair, and wearing his night attire when he heard him calling out, so he steps up to go see him.
"That's good. I finished everything for the night, so you can go shower. I'll wait for you."
He nods and goes to the bathroom. He doesn't take long to shower and get cleaned up and do everything he needs to for the evening. He comes back out wearing just some pajama bottoms and wiping his hair with the towel to get rid of the excess water.
He tosses the towel aside when he enters and flops onto the bed on his stomach.
As soon as he joins him on the bed, he pulls the blanket over. He learns rest is important. With everything looking like his home, sleeping becomes slightly easier.
It's routine for him as he greets him with his goodnight kisses. "I'm happy Wei Ying. That we're going to be married. But I think you know already, that you're already my husband in my heart."
"I know Lan Zhan. We don't need the wedding to believe that. The wedding is just like..a bonus." He could happily continue to live just like this without the formal process. But he also looks forward to having that ceremony. He just wishes there was family there to share it with.
"Mm. It's a ceremony to celebrate the bond that we have together. I know you and remember you since the day you come to Cloud Recesses for the first time. Weddings is a serious matter because that means you'll be married into my family." He gives him a warm hug beneath the blanket. "Someday, we'll have a real wedding back home. A traditional one with our family as guests and witnesses. And the bride will be carried off in a sedan and there's a banquet of all us gathering around. For now, I'm looking forward to it."
He gently rubs his back and stroke through his hair, helping him drift off to sleep. In a warm whisper, "Good night, Wei Ying, my husband. Sweet dreams."
