return from lanling

[shangba]

A full moon, unblinking.

You did not sleep, to see?

Comments

[emperorssmile]

I knew you'd see reason!

We can play music together.

We can always find new things to do, too.

[shangba]

Sock weaving.

[emperorssmile]

Lan Zhan!

I can't sleep in socks, I get too warm and start sweating. You wouldn't want to sleep next to me at all.

[shangba]

I will wear them as armour.

[emperorssmile]

I’ll have to warm them higher on your legs.

[shangba]

You repent of nothing.

[emperorssmile]

You make the cutest noise when my toes find your ankles.

[shangba]

Cruel.

[emperorssmile]

I wonder what sort of noise you’d make if I tucked my feet behind your knees.

[shangba]

You wish to be celibate.

[emperorssmile]

If you’re wearing armor socks, then I’ll have to warm them somewhere.

If it really, really bothers you, I’ll soak my feet before bed.

[shangba]

...no.

There is a sweetness to Wei Ying burrowing.

[emperorssmile]

I knew you loved me too much to go celibate!

I love nestling myself as close as possible. I sleep so much better with Lan Zhan with me.

[shangba]

Above or beneath?

[emperorssmile]

Sometimes one, sometimes the other.

Does Lan Zhan want to be underneath tonight?

[shangba]

Wei Ying, my blanket?

Yes.

[emperorssmile]

I’ll keep you warm and safe all night long, Lan Zhan!

Except for your ankles.

[shangba]

Which you intend to attack.

[emperorssmile]

With love and cold feet.

Who do you miss more, me or the rabbits?

[shangba]

Rabbits.

[emperorssmile]

I knew it! You love those rabbits more than you love me, don’t you?

[shangba]

No. But Wei Ying writes.

[emperorssmile]

And you’ve seen me more recently and will see me before the day’s done.

Do you think A-Liang’s old enough to meet the rabbits?

[shangba]

He will pull their tails.

...as Wei Ying does.

[emperorssmile]

They don’t bite when I bother them.

Oh, you’re more worried about the rabbits than A-Liang.
