A Family Dinner

WHO: Wei Wuxians, Lan Wangjis, Lan Xichen, Jin Ling, Nie Huaisang

WHAT: An Untamed/MDZS Family Dinner

WHEN: Near Christmas

WHERE: Dining area

NOTES: None

It has been quiet around the hotel other then the fact that there is snow everywhere and the staff seems to be in a festive mood. After some discussions about holidays they discover that this is a time of the year when people gather with families and celebrate. So it was only natural that this large, unique, extended family should all come together and enjoy a meal together and reflect over their time in the hotel.

So the dining area has been decorated with red and gold and green, christmas trees are brightly lit around the room. Music plays softly over the speakers and a large buffet of food is out for all to enjoy. A fire crackles in the fireplace warming the room so that they snow has been melted away and won't make people want to rush back to the warmth of their rooms.mo

Come and enjoy the festivities, share gifts with one another, tell stories and simply enjoy the company and expectations for the coming year.

He smiles up at the man as he joins him and then down at the gift that he sets down in front of him. He sets his cup down on the floor and reaches out to pick it up.

"What did you get me, Lan Zhan?" He opens it slowly, wanting to savor the fact that he has gotten a gift. He lets the paper fall away.

"I don't know what else to get you, so I got these made from one of the shops."

As the paperwrap was torn and fell away, it reveals a pair of plushie rabbits dolls. One white with a headband around the head and the other black with a red ribbon tied around the ears.

However, Wei Wuxian will discover if the two are close together, they will "kiss" through a magnet that pulls them together.

He holds them up and then laughs softly as their noses can drawn together. He looks over at the other man and leans close as if to test if their own lips will meet just like those magnets.

"They are very cute, Lan Zhan. Thank you."

He leans over to give him an eskimo kiss just like the magnet inside dolls will do, then gives him a quick kiss on the cheek and at the corner of lips.

He then sat next to him, drinking his warm cider to wash down the heaviness of their meal.

"It seems quiet around here, isn't?"

"Mm...Quiet is good compared to what has been happening." He doesn't mind quiet once in awhile as long as it means that no one is going to get hurt.

He reaches next to him and picks up the gift he had for the other man. He holds it out to him.

"This is for you, Lan Zhan."

It has been quiet and peaceful, but there are times Lan Wangji wondered...why. There are times he looks out the window. He wrapped his robes around him tightly to cover up his gold scars as a reminder.

Still, for his husband's sake. "A present for me? What is it?" He unwrapped the presents, ripping the paper gingerly to reveal what it is.

He watches him unwrap the gift, revealing the book of poems from their home and some sheets of music paper that he made himself. After his time with both of them in front of the fire, he felt they needed to be able to enjoy a little time to themselves away from the crazy of the hotel once in awhile and he hoped that maybe he could find a way to be inspired again.

"It's not much but we need to keep our little library growing, right?"

Lan Wangji's expression softens. "Oh, Wei Ying. You shouldn't have." He's very touched by the gesture. "I have a lot of books. It's a small library from home. I'm thinking the Queen is a fan of books, so that's why we're seeing new books now to read in the library."

Inspiration doesn't come easily, that Wangji spent more time reading books, caring for his plants, the animals, and caring for his husband. He did obtain his guqin to play music on it.

He sweetly kisses Wei Ying between the brow of his eye. "Thank you, my love."

He smiles and closes his eyes as he kisses him there. "You'll have to read the poems to me later." He wants to enjoy hearing Lan Wangji's voice recite them again. They aren't as nice to read himself but he enjoys hearing the other man when he tells them.

He sets his cup down on the floor and moves so that he can place himself in Lan Wangji's lap, resting his back against him so that they can look at the fire. He wants to be wrapped in the other man's arms and fully enjoy the feeling of warmth that being there gives.

Lan Wangji relaxed as Wei Wuxian places himself on his lap and he wraps his arms around him to give him hugs.

"Do you still want me to read poems to you? That I can do later." That means getting up and fetch a book from the shelf.

"We can do that when we go back to the room." He doesn't want to move now that he has settled into such a comfortable Lan Wangji chair.

He tilts his head back so he can look at the other over his shoulder, "Would you get mad at me if I wanted to drink lots and lots of wine and celebrate by getting drunk?"

It's actually been a long time since he has been that drunk. He's been pretty well behaved but this is a party!

He looks at him perplexed wondering why his husband is asking for permission to drink his favorite wine.

"No. If you desire your drink right now, I'll carry you to bed and help you sleep."

Unfortunately that means getting up and finding some and he just got comfortable. So unless he sees a staffer wandering around willing to get it for him, he's just going to wait.

He always drinks, but he very rarely actually gets drunk. He thinks this is as good a time as any.

"Then I am going to drink and drink and drink~!"

He doesn't have to get up. Very carefully he wraps his arms around him to scoop him up in his arms and carries him princess style.

"Do you have Emperor smile's in your room Wei Ying?"

"Ah! Lan Zhan! I didn't mean we had to run away so soon!" He latches on as he is suddenly picked up. "Of course I have it in my room." He still has quite a decent supply of it.

"Are you sure you want to leave the party already?"

With him in tow, he takes him to the elevators to go up to the residential floor, to take them back to their bedroom.

"I'm done with the party and ready to retire. Besides, reading poetry requires a lot of concentration while you're drinking."

"You just don't want me getting drunk in public." He pouts a little but actually doesn't mind that. he prefers drinking in a nice private place anyway. It's more fun with just a few people in a small place. Not that Lan Wangji is going to drink, but it will be just as fun because Wei Wuxian won't have to worry about being shameless in public.

"You're my husband now and you married into the Gusu Lan sect. Unofficially, but...you're a part of my family now, so I expect decency."

Opening the door to their shared bedroom, then closing the door, he laid Wei Ying on the bed. The soft braying of the donkey can be heard, rabbits huddle in their bed in the hutch and Lan Wangji uses a poker to get the fire started, poking at a few burning logs, crackling, in the fireplace to heat up the room.

Jars of emperor smiles were laid out on the table and some kept chilled in the mini fridge.

He bounces back off the bed and over to the jars at the table. He picks one up and immediately starts drinking from it. After a nice long drink...part of which ends up down his chin...he lets out a satisfied sigh.

He walks back over to the fire with a couple jars in hand and plops back down on the floor in front of it. It's warmer here and he likes feeling that heat.

Once the fire of the fireplace heats up the entire room, beating the chill. Lan Wangji knows his husband won't be satisfied until he has a nice long swing of the famous drink from the jar.

He picks up a poetry book that he wanted to read and sat on the edge of the bed as he drinks and relaxes.

"Shall I read to you now?"

He turns so that his back is to the fire and he is facing Lan Wangji. He takes another long drink from the jar and when he lowers it he nods enthusiastically.

"I'm ready to listen, Lan Zhan. Are you going to read the whole book to me?"

He isn't sure he could last through all of them but he is willing to listen for as long as Lan Wangji is willing to read.

In a chipper tone as he's amused Wei Ying is fully prepared to get drunk. He encourages Wei Ying to lean on his back or rest his head on his lap to enjoy the closeness of his body and the warmth of the fire.

"Hopefully, this will help you to sleep." He takes a breath and opens his book to read.

Opening the book, he reads the poem, slowly line by line. It turns out he's reading Buddhist sutras and verses.

"I like this one. What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday and it's history, and our tomorrow is a mystery. That's why the present is a gift. What do you think, Wei Ying?”

Wei Wuxian is torn because if he lays down then he won't get to drink, but he likes having his head in Lan Wangji's lap. He debates hard and then finally decides to just rest against him until he finishes this jar of wine.

"Ahh..that does seem pretty true. We are shaped by our actions in the past." He tilts his head and smiles up at Lan Wangji, "And being together with you now is like a gift."

"Wei Ying, you are a gift and treasure for me as well, beyond measure."

He closes the book and set it aside, and then wraps his arms around him to snuggle with him, cuddle him to make him comfortable as he's drunk.

He laughs softly and relaxes against Lan Wangji before taking another sip of his drink, "Are you done reading already, Lan Zhan? You didn't even make it through one page!"
