The New Year arrives and even if there is no way for them to really tell time, just keeping track of days and a few conversations with staff helps them pinpoint when it happens. Not that anyone can tell what the year is, but at least people can welcome the start of a new year in this place.
Care to celebrate the new year? Find a supply of noisemakers or hats in one of the shops and create your own new year traditions. Might as well celebrate the fact that the hotel hasn't tried to mess with anyone lately!
And with the new year also brings January birthdays! Lan Wangji (both of them) are born during this month and so a dining hall has been set up with streamers and decorations. As well as cakes and desserts for everyone to enjoy. A special (slightly boring) meal of fruits and vegetables has been laid out as the day's specialty.
Have another January birthday you want to celebrate? Have another reason to be out and exploring? Feel free to top level with your own ideas and let's have the characters enjoy their time together.
Birthday
At the table, he thanked everyone for coming, and he insisted that everyone should enjoy themselves and help themselves to the cake. While the meal is vegetarian, there is a side of meat for the meat-eaters to eat with their meal.
He was nervous since it's his birthday, but the small party seem to proceed peacefully. "Thank you everyone for coming. Please, help yourself to the cake." He said, as he blows out the candles and help cut up the cake in neat slices, and hands them out by the plates.
no subject
But he tries to snap himself out of his worried daze as a piece gets set in front of him. He smiles up at Lan Wangji, "Thank you, Lan Zhan. And happy birthday again." He's probably said it about a thousand times at this point but one can never have enough times.
no subject
He heard it before and appreciates it, even if he repeats a thousand times. He can tell his husband works very hard, so he simply kisses him on the cheek and sat next to him.
"Let's eat this cake. Mm, this is chocolate." Which is rich and decadent when he dips his fork and eats it. "Let's eat as many slices as we can, this cake is delicious."
no subject
"If you could have anything at all for your birthday, Lan Zhan, what would it be?"
perhaps it would be a wish that Wei Wuxian can grant and he won't have to feel so guilty about the lack of a real present.
no subject
It's a wish he can't grant. "I think you know the answer. I want to take Wei Ying and the animals home with me, and go home peacefully." The hotel exhausted him. Maybe they extracted so many emotions along with his powers, he's not sure if he has any left to produce the teas, even though his powers returned.
He has many thoughts, but he thinks their deaths is an accident. He's even wary a monster will come to his birthday to attack them. So far, nothing happened. The gold scars felt tangible on his skin.
Looking at him as he helps himself to another second slice of cake, "After this, I'll go straight to our room and spent time with you."
no subject
But he smiles at the thought of them simply spending the day quietly together. They don't really have much else they have to do.
"We do that every day Lan Zhan. How is that making this day any more special? We're supposed to do something different on your birthday."
no subject
"This day is already special because you're here and things are peaceful." He eats the meal and the cake to his fill. He helps himself to the bowls of ice cream too. "Try the ice cream. They are called sundae." He smiles, really focused on a happy day and staying positive.
"I'll help myself to a few books to take back to our room, and then read with you. I think that would be good and just spend time together and nothing else. That's how you can make my day special."
no subject
But he pushes that aside as the rest of the evening is mapped out for them. It sounds good enough as he helps himself to the ice cream as well.
"Alright Lan Zhan. This is your day so I'll do anything you want to do."
no subject
He too pushes it aside, finishing the meal and cake. He took a moment to collect a handful of books and novels he wanted to read for the rest of the evening. Once the birthday party is over, and he thanks everyone for coming, it's a matter of leaving the cleaning to the staff.
Once the party is over and everyone leaves to do what they plan to do for the evening, he takes his husband's hand toward the elevator. "Let's go to our room Wei Ying."
no subject
But he will go wherever the man wants since this is his day.
no subject
The elevator goes up to the residential floor. All is quiet in the hallway. He leads the way to his room of Cloud Recesses.
"Come on in." He said. The room is decorated half like his jingshi and half like a temple. In one corner, he made an altar over the winter with incense burning. There's a shelf full of books that he gathered from the library, and books from home that he reads over the winter, so most of the books are well-studied, dog-eared, and book-marked. The bed is all neat, pressed, and clean.
"Relax and if you need anything like tea or coffee, I can fix it later."
no subject
"Being in this room tonight is almost going to be like a vacation." A special night in a new place even though it isn't really that new. It's just a place they haven't been in awhile.
no subject
"I don't have anything planned." He said. "Just reading books, care for the animals, and cooking dinner for you." For him, his only purpose is to care for his husband that he gladly lives by each day simply.
He takes a few books and finds a place on the bed to sit. "You can rest while I read. Or if you want to read, you can help yourself. Unless you want me to read a story to you?"
no subject
Wei Wuxian scoots a little more onto the bed and then flops onto his stomach, kicking his feet into the air behind him.
"Why don't you read me a story first, and then after that I'll tell you a story."
no subject
He looks a little stuck on that, "What kind of stories? I have a book about poetry and another about fables with animals in them. Another is an anthology of fairy tales."
no subject
"If you don't want to read it aloud, I don't mind if you would prefer to read silently."
no subject
"I'll tell you a story." He whispered, sweet and low. A story to help him go to sleep.
"How about I tell you a story about how I composed wangxian? Our song."
no subject
no subject
"There isn't much to tell, Wei Ying. I created the song because I was in love with you and compose the song only for you. During that time, I did my best to clear your crimes and your name. I don't think it's all in vain even if people don't believe me. I had always believed in you. So when I get lonely, I play and sing this song for myself and Sizhui as well." Sizhui, their son is waiting for them back home, his tone is somber on the name.
Looking into his eyes, "This song is my soul and it's for you."
no subject
"And I'll never forget it no matter how many lives I go through."
no subject
"Mn. Yes, this song is us and you remembered. That's how I recognized you. Shall I sing for you after you tell me your story?" With his singing ability, he can help calm him and ease his worries.
no subject
He enjoys hearing the man sing to him. it's soothing and he doesn't get to enjoy it very often.
no subject
"And it's okay. I warned you though. If I sing, I'll put you to sleep."
no subject
Because he is sure the man won't be satisfied with simply telling stories and talking for the night.
no subject
He thinks he wouldn't go to sleep. He starts humming and singing the lyrics. The song is so sweet and romantic.
