#dadxianweek sick / taking care

New dad wwx doesn't know what to do with his screaming, feverish, brand new son, so he keeps gently rocking a-yuan as he tries not to sway cause whatever bug his kid caught seems to have gotten him too
2
To make matters worst, he's new to this building and he fears the apartment walls might not be as soundproof as he'd like them to be.

He doesn't want to get in trouble with the neighbors on his first week here. He bet jc he'd go at least a month without getting a complaint
3
But now a-yuan won't stop wailing and wwx wants to cry too cause he hasn't slept in the last 25 hours and his stomach is not having a great time.

He's gone from singing to humming cause his throat can't take it anymore but so far nothing has worked to calm a-yuan down.
4
When there's a knock on the door wwx freezes.

This is it. The first neighbor he managed to piss off.

He bets is old man Lan from next door. He's always scowling at wwx for some reason. Also, he lives next door.

Wwx is not surprised when he opens the door to find mr. Lan there.
5
"I swear i'm not making him cry on purpose," wwx says in way of greeting. He might be more feverish than he thought.

Mr. Lan doesn't roll his eyes, but wwx thinks it's only cause it's beneath him to do so.

Instead, he simply reaches out and plucks a-yuan right off wwx's arms.
6
Then he feels wwx's forehead with the back of his free hand and sighs.

"I might need to call Wangji," mr. Lan mutters as he enters wwx's apartment.

Wwx blinks. Call who?? What is happening??

Then, to his utmost surprise,
A-yuan stops crying. Mr. Lan is not even bouncing him!
7
"What are you still standing there for," Mr. Las asks. Wwx's ears are ringing from the sudden quiet. "Go shower, and be presentable. I will call my nephew." Wwx blinks. "He's a doctor," Mr. Lan explains. Wwx blinks again. "He's single."
8
"Uh," it's all wwx can say. He already took a-yuan to the pediatrician, and he's not currently looking for a relationship. He opens his mouth to tell all of that to Mr. Lan, but a deep frown shuts him up. This fever must really be getting to him.
9
"Raising children alone can be challenging." Mr looks at a-yuan with a soft expression on his face. It makes wwx relax.

"Yeah, i'm starting to see that." He knew it'd be tough, but he's starting to see he had no idea how much. "How did you get him to calm down so fast?"
10
"Your body heat was bothering him."

"Oh." Well that sucks to know.

"There is no shame in asking for help."

"I know, I..." he doesn't know what else to say.

"Good. Go shower then, my nephew will be here shortly."

"Mr. Lan."

"Wangji is good with children."

"But Mr Lan--"
11
There's no use arguing.

With a sigh, wwx goes shower.

When he comes back to his living room his baby is peacefully sleeping in the arms of the most gorgeous man he's ever seen.

Wwx is really glad Mr. Lan bullied him into brushing his teeth.

He smiles, then drops to the sofa
12
"Doctor Lan, please help this feeble man. I seem to have fallen..." wwx waits until doctor Lan's attention is fully on him, then he smirks. "... in love. Will you marry me?"

Years later wwx blames the impromptu proposal on the fever, but lwj has no excuse for his immediate 'Yes'
