Lan Wangji is about to propose when they have their first couple's fight. 

It's nothing major, just a disagreement over some chores that escalated because both had had a difficult day. 

But suddenly, Wei Wuxian is slamming the door shut on his way out...

                            2
                        
And while he's standing there, in the empty living room, Lan Wangji's mind brings him back to the ring box he hid away last night. 

Then, like waves crashing ashore, Lan Wangji realizes his carefully planned proposal has just been washed away.

He sits down heavily on the couch.

                            3
                        
He's still there by the time Wei Wuxian comes back.

"Okay, fine," Wei Wuxian starts saying from the hallway, "Maybe I should've done the dishes this morning. I'll set a reminder to—"

He stops abruptly, and when Lan Wangji looks up at him, he gasps.

"Lan Zhan!"

                            4
                        
"Oh, no, no," Wei Wuxian says, sitting down next to him and cupping Lan Wangji's face in his cold hands. Lan Wangji immediately wants to warm them. "Lan Zhan! Don't cry! I'm sorry."

Lan Wangji shakes his head. He had no idea he was crying. 

"No need to apologize."

                            5
                        
"Yes, yes," Wei Wuxian nods frantically as he softly runs his thumbs over Lan Wangji's cheeks. "Yes need. Lan Zhan," his voice break, and then he's the one crying.

This is, Lan Wangji thinks absently as he finds himself with an armful of Wei Wuxian, a mess.

                            6
                        
"Wei Ying," he calls quietly, running a hand on Wei Wuxians hair. "You don't need to cry either. I apologize for upsetting you."

"I made you cry," Wei Wuxian sniff miserably.  "Wait," he disentangles himself from Lan Wangji to look at him properly. "Youcrying cos of the dishes?"

                            7
                        
"I am not," Lan Zhan shakes his head. "I had... plans." He sighs. "Our argument was ill-timed."

Wei Wuxian, because he was born with a smile and does not hold grudges, laughs.

"What, did you have the dish argument scheduled for some other time?"

                            8
                        
Despite the ups and downs of the evening, Lan Wangji finds himself smiling. 

He thinks about the dinner he was supposed to cook, the double-paged declaration he prepared, and once again he shakes his head. 

Details, much like the dish argument, those are details.

                            9
                        
"You could go the rest of our lives without doing the dishes, " Lan Wangji tells him as he stands up, then pauses, "Though I do hope you remember them sometimes."

Wei Wuxian chuckles. "Fine, fine."

Lan Zhan walks over to where he hid the box, then turns back to Wei Wuxian.

                            10
                        
"As long as you're by my side," he says, kneeling in front of a wide-eyed Wei Wuxian, "As long as we're together. Everything else is a detail. What matters is Wei Ying."

"Lan Zhan." Wei Wuxian is crying again. But so is Lan Wangji.

"Wei Ying, will you marry me?"

                            11
                        
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes," Wei Wuxian keeps saying even as Lan Wangji's shaky hands hold his while sliding the ring on Wei Wuxian's trembling finger. 

And then they are kissing, passionate at first and then softly, until they have to reluctantly pull away to breathe.

                            12
                        
"Okay," Wei Wuxian says, breathless. "I'll go do the dishes so we can start this on the right foot."

He makes to stand up, but before he can, Lan Wangji pulls him over and picks him up.

"Lan Zhan!"

"Forget the dishes," Lan Wangji tells him.

                            13
                        
Then he walks them purposefully to the bedroom.  "There is something more urgent for Wei Ying to do."

Wei Wuxian snorts, good-humored, then proceeds to suck a bruise under Lan Wangji's jaw.

"Whatever you want," he offers.

"Mn," Lan Zhan agrees. "Mark your words."
