"I look forward to seeing you in your wedding clothes too, Lan Zhan. Even if it is just us, I will be content." But he can't help also wanting to share it with everyone since their family isn't here with them.
"I'm just glad the town is somewhat back to normal...and what it was like in October wasn't a permanent thing."
"It could be just between us after the party is over. There will be a banquet dinner and then leaving gifts for those who attended. Then we will make our vows in private and pay respect to the heavens, our ancestors, and to each other." He said, with a smile at the thought of making vows.
"I'm glad it's not a permanent thing either. I think if we pay attention to the monthly cycles of the town's instability, we can predict and be prepared for it. However, I feel a little bit stronger and my powers are slowly coming back, but it's not much than my original strength, so maybe a power shift is happening in this town." But it was something.
"And then we will have our wedding night." Wei Wuxian smirks playfully as he looks at the other man. He doesn't know how that night will be any different from every other night in this house but still, the thought is there that it will be special because of the day. Not that they have been particularly interested in doing much since they got back. Being sick really puts a damper on the desires.
"Mn. Wedding night. Looking forward to it." Lan Wangji is very excited about it. Wedding night is like every other night that they shared together, but it's special because they're finally husbands. Though they haven't made love since before October and now being sick dampers the mood, but that doesn't mean the fire of desire isn't there, it just needs to be relit.
"I'm excited for wedding. I hope nothing goes wrong, and it will be a good day with good weather. I find November to be a chilly season to hold a wedding. Also, Wei Ying, try the miso soup." He nudges the bowl in his direction.
He takes the soup, lifting up the spoon so that he can taste it. The soup is likely to be his favorite part of the meal as it helps soothe his throat a little. "Mm..it's very good Lan Zhan."
He takes a few more mouthfuls and then, "I'm sure our wedding will have great weather. Anything is better then what it was. And if it is a bad day, the house is big enough to hold many."
"Mn. I think nothing will go bad. But I'll keep a watch for it." Just in case, they need to set their wedding another day. So far, the town looks normal enough on the first day.
"You're welcome to have seconds." He eats his meal away, and soon enough everything is almost eaten. It's a quiet birthday dinner between them at most, and it's his first in this world.
"All done?" After this, it's just another day of bed rest to rest away the cold sickness.
He does eat his fill, and far more then he has been eating lately. He really is starting to feel better which he is grateful for. He nods once he finishes and pushes the dish away. He's ready to just rest and relax for the rest of the day. It might not be his birthday any more but that doesn't mean he can't pretend that it is so he can enjoy whatever he wants on the day.
Seeing things are slowly returning back to normal and their appetites returned, he figured they can recover from their illness and beat the flu, and starting to feel better by day.
"You ate it all, Sakura will be happy. You should let her know that you enjoyed the dishes and cake. She's very good at cooking."
In the meanwhile, cleaning the plates and utensils will be a struggle, but Lan Wangji is determined to finish his chores and then relax and rest for the day.
"I'll make sure to thank her." He should be checking up on her anyway since it has been awhile since he has seen her.
"Do you need any help with anything?" He's not feeling great, but the food certainly helped a little and he doesn't want the other man to wear himself out.
"No, I'll take care of it and I'll be all right. The animals are taken care of, so I'm done for the evening." So he's just going to wash the dishes, and then find a bed somewhere to relax.
"All there's left is to take a shower and then sleep in to rest for the night."
He nods, "Go get cleaned up. I'll meet you in bed." Wei Wuxian doesn't really have any other plans other then to continue sleeping off this flu. It might not be the most exciting ways to spend his birthday but he couldn't really ask for anything better then to be curled up with his husband.
It was a struggle for the last two weeks, fighting the flu. Sleeping it off is all they can do. Eventually, once he finished his errands and he's all washed up, he joined his husband on the bed to curl up with him, wrap his arms around him.
"Did you enjoyed your birthday? It may not be much, but the people who offered to help are very nice."
"I enjoyed it Lan Zhan. I don't need much to be happy. I just need you." And curled up in his arms is satisfying enough. Even though they might not be healthy enough for much lately, he doesnt mind just being in the other man's presence.
"I want Wei Ying to be happy for the rest of his days. I only need you too." He said, quietly. Though he wasn't sure if he's strong after he lost his mind, and he wonder how far he is willing to go to the depths.
Pulling the blanket over, he does a feel a sense of peace curling up with him. The flu and sleep deprivation wears him out and he felt so tired, right down to his bones as the months took a toll on him. Other than rest, real sleep and safety and security is welcoming.
Seeing his partner curled up beneath the blanket and curled up with him in his arms, providing him the warmth. "Good night, Wei Ying. Dreams good dreams. I'll dream of you." He promises and kisses the crown of his head and on his lips as he slowly drifts off.
