In Wei Wuxian's defense, he's relatively sure that anyone Lan Zhan turned that gaze toward and offered to kiss them would say yes. He hadn't necessarily meant for the lesson to go that far, but, if the offer was on the table...
It was practice, right? Lan Zhan just needed practice, for his special someone, and Wei Wuxian, well, men ought to know how to kiss, shouldn't they? And they had to learn somewhere and he could think of a hell of a lot of worse people to kiss than Lan Wangji.
These thoughts raced rabbit-fast, and for once, he couldn't find the tongue for any glib or teasing replies, feeling a bit muddled by the way Lan Zhan's eyes focus on him, and the way his thumb moves over the back of his hand. Whatever insecurities Lan Zhan might have, Wei Wuxian is completely sure he's underestimating himself; if the girl he fancies doesn't go completely weak experiencing this, she must have a heart made of stone and really, really doesn't deserve him anyway. And if it'll build Lan Zhan's confidence to talk to her, isn't that what friends are for?
"I..." he swallows thickly, "you can... that is, if you want to?"
He takes a breath and lets his eyes close, waiting. And if there's a sharp pang in his heart at the thought that this was for someone else, Wei Wuxian did the same thing he did with all emotions he didn't want to deal with, and buried it deep.
