Imagine double identity WWX where he's a normal college student by day and the infamous contract criminal, YLLZ, by night who's notorious for stirring trouble amongst the rich
all is well until one day WWX gets an assignment to kidnap his bestfriend, LWJ

It's also not a regular ransom job. No. His instructions are morbidly specific. LWJ is to be kidnapped and then escorted /drugged/ to a fancy five star.
WWX is gritting his teeth even before he finishes reading the email.

Usually, WWX doesn't accept assignments that go against his personal compass. But that doesn't change the fact that someone out there wants Lan Zhan kidnapped.
What makes it worse is that he doesn't know who the contractor is. He gets all his proposals through an intermediary.

He doesn't refuse the job. Not right away at least. He stalls instead.
In the meantime, he works on finding the original contractor first, while simultaneously making sure LWJ isn't out of his line of sight for more than a few seconds.

LWJ, on the other hand, is beyond bewildered at his best friend's newfound clinginess.
Wei Ying sticks to him during all of their shared classes and walks him to the ones they don't share. He's even started picking him up in the morning and dropping him home everyday.

It's not that LWJ minds. Kinda hard minding it when you've been in love with the guy for over two years. But he still needs explanations????
What happened? What changed? What are they? Does it mean the same to Wei Ying as it does to Lan Zhan? Can they do more? 👉👈

One day, while they're out in WWX's car and a loud bang goes off somewhere, WWX all but smashes LWJ's head down in his lap as if he expects someone to shoot through the windshield.
LWJ would perhaps question it if he weren't too distracted by WWX's crotch in his face.

After that day, WWX starts clinging to him even more. He's almost... hovering.
While LWJ doesn't mind, he'd also like WWX to do more than just... hover, y'know? He sits so close to him when they have lunch behind the their favourite tree. Can he not just sit in his lap? 😔

At one instance, they're approached by Wen Xu trying to get LWJ to come to the party at his house. That is the only time WWX is not fully focused on LWJ.
He's staring at Wen Xu instead, narrow eyed, as if trying to connect some dots. Like staring hard enough will do that.

10
"He's been bothering you for a while, no?" WWX asks once Wen Xu leaves.
LWJ shrugs. Wen Xu has a record of being unpleasant but he's not important enough to remember how often he bothers him. Anyway, Lan Zhan would like it more if WWX could bring his attention back to him, tyvm.

11
And WWX does, somewhat aggressively infact. He all but shoves LWJ into the wall behind him with sudden urgency, a finger into his face. "You are not to go anywhere near Wen Xu, you hear me?"
LWJ does hear. He would respond too if he weren't busy getting a raging boner.

12
"And if he shows up at the Lan mansion, you call me immediately. You understand?"
Mmhmm, LWJ thinks. Is this an love? It has to be, right? It must be. Wei Ying is clearly jealous. Unnecessarily so. It's kinda hot tho. Lan Zhan didn't even know WWX had a possessive side to him.

13
"Lan Zhan!"
He blinks. WWX is poking on his forehead now. "Are you listening or not?"
LWJ clears his throat. Sweeps his eyelashes up. Licks his lips. Then trails his index finger along the curve of WWX's chest. "Whatever you say."
One of WWX's eyebrows goes up.

That night, WWX finds himself in a high-end hotel lobby in disguise.
Stalling couldn't go on forever so he had ended up accepting the assignment. Because he needed to find out who the contractor was.
If his suspicion has any credibility, things would get confirmed soon.

15
The address being one of the Wen hotels had already raised the alarms in his head. It's only a matter of time before he gets a confirmation.
Sure enough, it happens. Wen Xu shows up minutes later. No wonder he hired someone on the outside instead of using his own people.

16
It wouldn't be far fetched to conclude that there's every chance it's a personal & probably secret side quest for Wen Xu that neither his father nor brother are aware of.
WWX returns home and reports his first failed mission, returning all the money he had been transferred.

17
And then, he sits down to consider and weigh his options.
The danger is inevitably going to be a thousand times worse now as the assignment would inevitably go to someone else... someone not WWX.
Which means doing this has also consequently put a real target on LWJ's back.

18
The thought makes him ring LWJ up in the middle of the night. LWJ's sleepy voice brings him immediate comfort. Calms him down.
Somewhere, WWX knows the only way out is telling LWJ the truth. Not just LWJ but also his brother and uncle. No one can protect him better than them.

19
But that also comes with a glaring truth that it will be the end of them. There's no way his family would let him be anywhere near WWX. LWJ himself will probably not want him around thereafter.
It doesn't matter though. Not if it's a question of LWJ's safety.

20
In the face of that, it's easy to make up his mind. The most he will lose is a friendship. The most he will miss is perhaps that pretty face or the occasional small smiles that only WWX is privy to.
But losing his bestfriend is worth it if it will keep Lan Zhan breathing.

21
The first day, he fails. Because LWJ brings him a box of extra spicy meat pies which he looks a little embarassed about.
"I made it myself," he says. "For you, Wei Ying."
WWX frowns, and promptly finds himself tongue tied, his chest doing something weird.

22
The next day too, he fails. Because on their way to the lecture, LWJ casually reaches for his hand and very *deliberately* locks their fingers together.
WWX is so surprised not a word escapes him.
If he's being completely honest, LWJ has been... rather strange lately.

23
He flushes a lot more, and often talks in vague metaphors and poetry. He even smiles more frequently which leaves WWX feeling a lot more offkilter than he'd like. Even his expressions seem much softer.
He's admittedly—WWX swallows—a lot cuter than he used to be.
He's admittedly—WWX swallows—a lot cuter than he used to be.
24
Which is insane because WWX literally cannot be finding him cute now of all times.
He simply cannot afford that. Losing his bestfriend is gonna be enough of a heartbreak as it is. He cannot knowingly make it worse.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be in WWX's hands.

25
The more time passes, the harder he finds it is to tell the truth. And the more he's unable to tell the truth, the more his worry and paranoia grow.
Even the smallest things set him on edge. He begins finding threats even in places there are none.

26
He stiffens everytime a stranger approaches them. Follows LWJ even to the washroom. And he's sure LQR is starting to suspect him of soiling his prized nephew.
More than once, he has seen LWJ being summoned to LQR's study though LWJ himself says nothing about it.

27
He knows all of it will inevitably come to head someday. Expects it even. And it does.
Just not in the way WWX could have predicted.
They're at the city fair when WWX spots Wen Xu coming in with several of his lackeys. Under any circumstance, it will be two against many.

28
If anything goes down then and there, they'll be severely outnumbered.
WWX acts before he can think. He drags LWJ away far into the back of an abandoned, half-hidden fabric stall and practically stuffs him into the corner, completely hiding him with his own body.

29
Sneaking a glance behind, he waits for Wen Xu to pass through. When he turns however, LWJ's eyes aren't on him, they're on his... lips.
He swallows. "....Lan Zhan"
LWJ's eyelashes sweep up, and there's a molten quality to his eyes. They're almost luminous. "What?"

30
"I...," he swallows once more. "Y-Your eyes."
In response, LWJ's hands move over WWX's which are on his shoulders, and he quietly brings them down and wraps them over his waist. Before WWX can utter even a word, he closes the distance and captures his mouth.

31
WWX flinches at the suddeness, except he doesn't flinch away but rather towards him, his arms instinctively wrapping tighter and squeezing the both of them together.
He's frozen as LWJ's lips begin to move against him, soft and sweet and supple, his tongue teasing & testing.

32
A commotion behind them has WWX impulsively opening his mouth & responding into the kiss, while simultaneously flipping them over so he's the one against the wall and LWJ's face is completely hidden.
He doesn't know what he's doing.
Surely, there are other ways to shield LWJ.

33
Except, the wetness of LWJ's mouth is too sticky & sweet & overwhelming. His fingers on the base of WWX's skull a brand, his body heat practically a furnace. Too intoxicating.
One of LWJ's knees inserts between WWX's thighs, and WWX's arms wind around his neck engulfing him in.

34
Another commotion, and WWX's eyes flicker open just in time to catch Wen Xu and his squad leaving the premises.
Down below, LWJ gives his lower lip a bite and his eyes close right back, surrendering fully to the rhythm of the tongue now moving in tandem with his own.

35
By the time they move apart, WWX's knees are jelly and seeing the way LWJ sways, maybe his are too.
Though LWJ isn't much bothered by it. When he stumbles, he simply sways into WWX and stuffs his face into the crook of his neck and whispers, "Hold me a little, Wei Ying."

36
WWX's arms move without much input from his brain, and yet, they hold back with all the ever-consuming desperation of something they can't bear the thought of losing.
He stands a little stunned, gently patting LWJ's head as the boy breathes & pecks the skin of WWX's neck.

37
More than even the kiss, it's that vulnerable moment of intimacy they share that forces WWX to acknowledge.
He's in trouble.
He's in So. Much. Trouble.
He's in trouble.
He's in So. Much. Trouble.
38
[the second half I'll write after a few hours it's 2 am lemme get some sleep :3]
39
The gravity of the kiss doesn't fully hit until he's home. In bed and staring up at the ceiling.
Just... what has he done?
Surely, there were many ways to go about this that didn't involve sucking face with his bestfriend. When did he start seeing LWJ like that?

40
Has he always had such nefarious intentions? All these wiggly feelings? Can he even afford to have them? There's no way he can continue this. It will be a sureshot recipe for heartbreak.
A million questions turn in his head for days thereafter. With no convincing answers.

41
And yet, he makes no attempt to hold back when LWJ kisses him again the next day. Or when he rolls his hips against him one day in the staff bathroom.
Or even when WWX's own body pushes him on a tree uncaring of the bruises his teeth inflict on the pale skin of LWJ's neck.

42
It's nothing short of a whirlwind.
WWX tells himself he'll figure it out tomorrow. That he won't let things get out of his hands. That there's no way he's in too deep to turn back. That he cannot allow a physical need to weaken him like this.
His tomorrows never come.

43
Not until one day when he gets a metaphorical slap on the face just how non-physical his thing with LWJ actually is.
He's not entirely aware of the extent how deep his affections run until one fine day his fears come to stare into his face and the worst comes to pass.

44
He's in the lab working on a prototype when a classmates rushes in, white in the face and LWJ's name on his lips.
LWJ. Parking. Bleeding. LWJ.
He hears only bits and pieces, before WWX is rushing out, static in his ears and the worst possible scenarios in his head.

45
When he reaches, LWJ is indeed bleeding on the arm, that is true. But that's not the whole picture.
WWX's surroundings are so out of focus that it takes a while before he registers that LWJ is actually has Wen Xu pinned by the throat on a wall, his face blank with anger.

46
He moves swiftly, internally panicking as he drags LWJ back, covering him with his body once more, hands on his cheeks.
"Lan Zhan..." WWX asks, and his voice emerges wheezy.
But LWJ's glare is hard on Wen Xu instead. "Talk to me again and I will rip your tongue out."

47
WWX grabs his chin and forces his glare away, dragging LWJ's eyes to himself and thankfully, the heat in them relaxes at his sight.
"What happened?" He asks quietly. Willing his eyes to not water because LWJ has no idea just how much worse he has turned everything for himself.

48
He takes a breath, a sort of vulnerability on his face. "H-He tried to touch me."
LWJ doesn't say more, and WWX doesn't have to ask to know how much an inappropriate touch must repulse someone who's wary of even regular ones.
Slowly, WWX turns towards Wen Xu.

49
// uhmm creepy behaviour
He's still holding his neck with both hands, though his face is curled into an ugly sneer, eyes cold and derisive.
"Rip my tongue out, huh?" he chuckles. "You would have rather liked having it elsewhere, Wangji. But too bad you won't anymore."

50
Without, WWX arms tighten around LWJ lest he charge at Wen Xu again. He holds him close, not letting go until WX has disappeared and LWJ's body is no longer tensed.
Within, something seems to click. Days of conflict has blipped out all of a sudden. He feels nothing but calm.

(uhh i guess I should have tagged this for threats and violence etc I'm sorry I really didn't think ahead 🙄)
52
"Never knew you were one for brawls," he jokes halfheartedly. Mostly to cheer LWJ up.
LWJ lays his head on WWX's shoulder and breathes, rubbing a circle on his wrist. "I'm alright. I promise."
He doesn't understand why LWJ is reassuring him when he's the one who needs it.

53
The incident, overall, changes something fundamentally.
Objectively, WWX knows what are going to be the consequences of LWJ's action. He's seen it happen way too often. And yet, all he feels is... light. As if he's been given the one token he had been waiting for.

54
He's almost anticipating when it happens. The renewal of his previous assignment.
"One last chance," they say, "Don't mess up again.
LWJ's picture on it is the same as before. Just as pretty. The only difference being, WWX's task isn't a kidnapping anymore. It's elimination.

55
He laughs out loud, even with the rancid, ugly fury swirling in his chest.
How very predictable.
When you have too much money to burn, you can even buy revenge. And nothing says revenge like, 'If I can't have something, nobody will."

56
Perhaps the only good thing to come out of this is this... this boyfriend thing LWJ has going on. Which WWX seems to have landed out of practically nowhere.
He doesn't fully understand. But he won't deny the rush he had felt when LWJ ever so casually referred to him as that.

57
Might even thank Wen Xu for it. For letting him realize just how far he's willing to go. He would have done the same either way. Even when LWJ was just his best friend.
But now it was personal. Now, he was going to enjoy it. Wen Xu wouldn't know what hit him.

58
And as for Lan Zhan, he will understand.
Keeping him alive was always going to come at the cost of losing him. Better this way than another. Atleast this way, LWJ's safety will be ensured forever. Atleast this way, WWX can say that he ruined himself for love.

[ Meanwhile, LWJ, away at his princely mansion in cozy bed: *is writing 'WY' on the back of his notebook and drawing hearts around it.*

60
When WWX accepts the assignment, he's even given a window to negotiate. Being the best at his gig does come with perks. Like getting your failed missions renewed before transfer. Or giving you a second chance to appease the contractors.
Not this though.
Not this though.
61
He wonders if it'll be suspicious if he doesn't negotiate. Then triples the price just for the fun of it. The request is approved right away
Huh.
The humiliation must have really burnt through Wen Xu. Desperation is practically oozing of his request.
Huh.

62
With that in place, WWX gets to the harder part. Convincing LWJ to cancel their date tonight.
"Why do you mean?" LWJ is predictably incensed. "It's our first date."
That's not true. It's their third date. But LWJ refuses to count the first two because they weren't perfect.

63
The first time, the restaurant messed up their reservation. The second time, WWX was not dressed "date-appropriate" whatever that means.
His eyes dart over to the maroon shirt LWJ gifted him especially for tonight, and he swallows. He really wanted it to be perfect.

64
Not for the first time, he finds himself wondering the consequences if LWJ ever gets to know the truth. I can't be nice, knowing the boy you loved ruined his life for you.
What if he ends up scaring LWJ?
His only hope would be that LWJ never finds out who he is or what he did.

65
On the phone, LWJ intones. "Did you zone out on me?"
He blinks. "Uhh, no no. I'm here. "
"Then what is it? Are you too busy for me?" LWJ sounds grumbly now. "Are you uninterested? Am I boring you, Wei Ying?"
WWX frowns. Checks the line. Is this truly Lan Zhan?

66
"Lan Zha—
"Do not Lan Zhan me," LWJ cuts him off. Both of WWX's eyebrows shoot up. "Why are you unavailable tonight?"
It catches him off-guard. He's not used to LWJ prying like this. "Ahh, I just... have to... study for that test."
He's cringing even before it's out.

67
Since when did he start using study as an excuse? This is all so very weird. LWJ is the most level headed guy he knows. Not this.... whatever this is.
It's like not having WWX was his only line. And now that he has him, he's uncontainable. It's as thrilling as it's scary.

68
Said level headed guy heaves a deep sigh. "Is this about Wen Xu?"
WWX sits up straighter. "What do you mean?"
Another long bout of silence, and another sigh. "Wei Ying, you know I'm only yours, right?"
A slow crease appears between WWX's brows. ".....What?"

LWJ sighs for the third time. "You've been strange since that day at the parking lot. You seem lost."
Well, he cannot deny that. Wen Xu's words have hardly left his mind. /You'd have liked having my tongue elsewhere. But now you won't./
The bastard had already decided.

70
That was the day he made up his mind to get rid of LWJ. WWX finds himself gritting his teeth as the memory surfaces.
On the phone, LWJ says, "Wei Ying. I know how you feel. But you don't have to. You are the only one for me."
WWX squints at the floor. "...ookay?"

"Will you come then?" LWJ asks in the end.
WWX is scratching his head now. He has no idea which piece of this conversation he missed and desperately searches for it.
"Lan Zhan," he tries. Almost afraid. "I really can't... tonight."
Ominous eerie silence.

LWJ hangs up.
WWX stares at the phone. Wow. He has not a lick of idea just what went on in that conversation. And he's scared to ask now lest LWJ flip out again.

WWX:

He places that in the "examine later" box and moves to the matter at hand. LWJ isn't one to stop sulking quickly. There are things he requires to be coaxed out. Things like WWX's hands, his mouth, his tongue.
Unfortunately, WWX doesn't have that time at hand. He has a job to do.

75
Opening the trunk under his bed, he retrieves the black case he was gifted on the day of his installation. Chenqing R5. His own design. A short range crossbow pistol he has only ever practiced on wooden targets.
He's glad it's first claim would be someone deserving of it.

LWJ couldn't tell you, exactly what it is that has him waking up in cold sweat in the middle of the night. A dream? A nightmare? He cannot say. It's far out of his grasp before he can reach for it.
But it does wake him up. Wakes him up before his phone rings.
But it does wake him up. Wakes him up before his phone rings.
77
WWX calling in the dead of the night isn't surprising, it's not the first time. But the heaviness churning in his belly is. He has to sip some water before he answers.
"Still mad at me?"
LWJ's eyes drift to the clock. It shows 3:37 am.
"Do I not have a reason to be?"
"Still mad at me?"
LWJ's eyes drift to the clock. It shows 3:37 am.
"Do I not have a reason to be?"
78
"Ahh Lan Zhan," WWX chuckles. He sounds a little breathless. "Why so difficult?"
There's something pressing on LWJ's chest. Instinct? Intuition? Just a bad feeling due to waking up at an odd time? He doesn't know. But listening to WWX's voice helps.
"I had a bad dream."
There's something pressing on LWJ's chest. Instinct? Intuition? Just a bad feeling due to waking up at an odd time? He doesn't know. But listening to WWX's voice helps.
"I had a bad dream."
79
"You did," his voice seems closer suddenly. "What did you see?"
"I don't remember," LWJ answers.
WWX hums. "Maybe that's better. Bad dreams are better forgotten."
Somehow, LWJ doesn't like that. It makes him uneasy. "What do you mean? Are you home? Are you alright?"
"I don't remember," LWJ answers.
WWX hums. "Maybe that's better. Bad dreams are better forgotten."
Somehow, LWJ doesn't like that. It makes him uneasy. "What do you mean? Are you home? Are you alright?"
80
WWX doesn't respond right away. And when he does, it's a little sudden. His voice soft, "Hey Lan Zhan, you know I love you, right? I realized I never said it before. I love you so much."
LWJ finds himself tongue tied. He doesn't respond. Cannot bring himself to.
LWJ finds himself tongue tied. He doesn't respond. Cannot bring himself to.
81
On the other end, he hears WWX sigh.
"Aiyah, you're always on me for something or the other and now you won't say it back?"
He feels his jaw tense. Takes another sip of water and it does nothing to loosen his throat.
"I will say it when I see you next."

He feels his jaw tense. Takes another sip of water and it does nothing to loosen his throat.
"I will say it when I see you next."
82
WWX is quiet for a moment. "So stubborn. What will it take to make it up to you? C'mon. Let me hear you say it. Just once."
"Goodnight, Wei Ying."
"Wait," the urgency in WWX's voice gives him a pause. "Please."
He doesn't like it. Doesn't like it one bit. "No."
"Goodnight, Wei Ying."
"Wait," the urgency in WWX's voice gives him a pause. "Please."
He doesn't like it. Doesn't like it one bit. "No."
83
"What if I'm unable to see you again?"
He's trying to be playful, LWJ can tell. Try to make a joke out of it. And yet, the crack in WWX's voice tells a different story.
"Then I suppose you don't have a choice."
He hangs up before Wei Ying can say anything more.

84
Contrary to what he had hoped, hanging up only worsens his anxiety. WWX's last words ring over & over in his head.
There's no reason they're true. It doesn't make sense. Wei Ying loves him. LWJ knows he does. Knows in deep in his bones & flesh & sinews. It doesn't make sense.

85
Try as he may, neither is he able to nullify the dread in his belly nor is he able to sleep again. He stays up till the morning staring blankly at the wall.
As a result, he's fully awake and nursing a ginger tea when LXC knocks and rushes in.
"Wangji, did you hear?"
As a result, he's fully awake and nursing a ginger tea when LXC knocks and rushes in.
"Wangji, did you hear?"
86
On edge as he is, the urgency in LXC's voice makes him still. Makes him stare.
"Wen Xu," his brother says. "He's dead."
He doesn't breathe. Somehow, it's not WWX's last words that emerge in his head this time. But rather the cold blank look that was there on his face that day.

He doesn't breathe. Somehow, it's not WWX's last words that emerge in his head this time. But rather the cold blank look that was there on his face that day.
87
He forces himself to take a sip. "He was a very crude man, Ge. I'm not surprised at the fate he met."
LXC looks troubled as he nods. "He did have many enemies."
"Assassination?"
His brother shakes his head. "It wasn't a professional. They're saying his tongue is missing."
LXC looks troubled as he nods. "He did have many enemies."
"Assassination?"
His brother shakes his head. "It wasn't a professional. They're saying his tongue is missing."
88
The teacup lands on the table with a thud.
"I would say it was personal," LXC goes on. "Maybe he pissed someone off."
For no comprehensible reason yet again, all LWJ can think of is the way WWX's eyes, clouded with worry one moment, had settled on a pitiless certainty the next.

89
He takes a breath. "It not like he was surrounded with friends."
LXC nods, clearly in awareness of wen xu's infamous personality. "I told you so you'd be prepared. There might be an inquiry on us too considering the altercation between you two. But leave that to uncle and me."

90
LWJ doesn't offer anything more. His facilities seem to be in a confused lockdown with something he cannot exactly place a finger on. It's all assumptions. Speculation. With the anxiety from last night raging once more.
And yet, before LXC steps out, he finds himself speaking.
And yet, before LXC steps out, he finds himself speaking.
91
"Ge," he says. Soft. "Wei Ying confessed to me."
The sudden shift in topic catches LXC off-guard. But if there's one thing LWJ knows, it's that the little brother he's seen pining for over 2 years will always take priority for LXC. That's just the kind of person his brother is.

92
LXC's face breaks into a shocked albeit confused smile. "Really? That is wonderful, Wangji. How long has it been?"
He takes another sip. "Last night."
LXC's eyebrows shoot up. "You went out last night?"
LWJ shakes his head. "I snuck Wei Ying in. He left in the morning."
He takes another sip. "Last night."
LXC's eyebrows shoot up. "You went out last night?"
LWJ shakes his head. "I snuck Wei Ying in. He left in the morning."
93
His brother ends up laughing out loud, amusement brimming in his eyes. He's in disbelief but it's the teasing kind. The kind that stems from him being a big brother perhaps. "When did you become so forward? You had Wuxian in your bedroom all night?"
He nods again. "All night."
He nods again. "All night."
94
"Well, I hope you two were careful atleast," his brother is still teasing fondly as he says that. And then a moment later, he's wincing. "By the way, Shufu will have to be told of this."
Unfortunately, LWJ has no choice but to count on giving Shufu a near heart attack.

95
"And probably the authorities too," he winces some more. "I'm sorry, I know it's terribly invasive. But circumstances are unusual."
LWJ takes the last sip. "It's alright, Ge. I understand. Wei Ying will understand too."
LXC gives him one more smile and leaves.

LXC gives him one more smile and leaves.
96
Because Wen Xu was WRH's son, their entire batch ends up being investigated, students and professors alike.
LWJ becomes one of the people being the most thoroughly looked into, because he's one who had very recently, very publically, outright threatened Wen Xu.
LWJ becomes one of the people being the most thoroughly looked into, because he's one who had very recently, very publically, outright threatened Wen Xu.
97
Because LWJ becomes the prime suspect, LQR is forced to go tooth & nail against WRH. Airing out the nasty details of Wen Xu's conduct, his frequent altercations, and the array of legal cases against him.
Anything to justify that a threat like that isn't exactly unusual.
Anything to justify that a threat like that isn't exactly unusual.
98
He even pulls all his strings to prevent LWJ from appearing for an interrogation at all, deeming it an unfair slander.
Given Wen Xu's infamous personality in contrast to LWJ's own, it isn't exactly a difficult tide to turn. Even WRH himself isn't much interested in them.

99
And because how much of it is centered on Lan Zhan, WWX will be forced to just sit and watch.
That's the whole reason LWJ included himself in the scenario. WWX wouldn't keep out of trouble unless he knew opening his mouth could potentially get LWJ into major trouble.

100
It goes on for 3 days, all the investigative procedure. Three full days of anxiety & torture that LWJ refuses to show on his face as he watches it all unfold.
Three days of distress because he doesn't get to see Wei Ying either. True to his words, WWX truly doesn't contact him.

101
LWJ's million calls to him go unanswered. So do the messages. The more silent he is, the more it angers LWJ.
Initially, he wonders if he'll have to pull something dramatic. Land in a hospital or something so WWX would have no choice but to burst in through the door.

102
Thankfully not.
WWX appears himself. The day his interrogation gets dismissed because he's already "accounted for" without him having to say a word.
Because LQR, though it killed him, had to safeguard his nephew on all fronts. Even if one of the fronts was called Wei Wuxian.

103
LWJ is in the infirmary nursing a headache when the text arrives.
/WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?/
And because LWJ is petty and has been through hell & back without listening to his beloved's voice, he replies:
/Infirmary. Fell down the stairs and hit my head on the concrete./

104
Sure enough, WWX bursts through the door within minutes, his eyes wildly scanning the room. When they fall on LWJ, they narrow. "You said you split your head."
LWJ guilelessly stares back. "It sure feels like it."
With a disgruntled sigh, WWX grabs his hand and leads them out.
LWJ guilelessly stares back. "It sure feels like it."
With a disgruntled sigh, WWX grabs his hand and leads them out.
105
They don't share a word until all out at their isolated spot behind the tree and WWX is suddenly looking everywhere but at him, not meeting his eyes.
LWJ doesn't make it easy for him. He simply perches on the bench and stares. The kind that he knows makes people nervous.

106
Ultimately, WWX breaks the silence himself.
"Y'know," his voice emerges rather thin. Trembling. "When people find out their boyfriend is a psycho killer, their response isn't usually to create a false alibi for him."
LWJ's hands fall in his lap. "So you did kill Wen Xu."

LWJ's hands fall in his lap. "So you did kill Wen Xu."
107
WWX's already frazzled eyes pop out even more. "You did it over an ASSUMPTION?"
He blinks slowly. "Why did you say I might not see you again?"
WWX pauses where he's pacing the ground infront of LWJ. "How is that important right now? Are you hearing yourself? Who even are you?"
He blinks slowly. "Why did you say I might not see you again?"
WWX pauses where he's pacing the ground infront of LWJ. "How is that important right now? Are you hearing yourself? Who even are you?"
108
LWJ is increasingly miffed now. "Stop answering my questions with questions."
WWX bristles too. "You did it first."
His voice rises a decibel. "Why did you say that, Wei Ying?"
"Because I'm a bad person," WWX bursts out, his voice splintered. Soft. "Has that occurred to you?"
WWX bristles too. "You did it first."
His voice rises a decibel. "Why did you say that, Wei Ying?"
"Because I'm a bad person," WWX bursts out, his voice splintered. Soft. "Has that occurred to you?"
109
"No it hasn't," LWJ answers. Without second thought. "I didn't love you because I thought you were a good person. I did it because you were you."
WWX's hands fall to his sides. His eyes hard now. "Do you even know who I am?"
"Do I need to?" LWJ asks.
WWX's hands fall to his sides. His eyes hard now. "Do you even know who I am?"
"Do I need to?" LWJ asks.
110
WWX suddenly surges forward until he's in his face, towering. Slowly, his hand closes over LWJ's throat, thumb grazing the skin. It's distracting.
"I can snap this without mercy."
LWJ stares up. Then angles his face such that his jugular is right under WWX's thumb. "Go ahead."
"I can snap this without mercy."
LWJ stares up. Then angles his face such that his jugular is right under WWX's thumb. "Go ahead."
111
The corners of WWX's eyes are almost red. Almost luminous as he bends to his eye level. "This is how reckless you are. No wonder you got a target on your back."
LWJ's head tilts. "Was that the reason?"
WWX laughs darkly. "Will you ever ask the right questions?"
LWJ's head tilts. "Was that the reason?"
WWX laughs darkly. "Will you ever ask the right questions?"
112
So he asks. "What is the right question?"
"Ask me who I am," says WWX. "Perhaps be a little afraid."
LWJ leans forward—WWX's hand still on his throat—until he can feel his breath.
"Afraid of you?"
"Mhmm."
"How do I be afraid of someone who loves me to the point of murder?"
"Ask me who I am," says WWX. "Perhaps be a little afraid."
LWJ leans forward—WWX's hand still on his throat—until he can feel his breath.
"Afraid of you?"
"Mhmm."
"How do I be afraid of someone who loves me to the point of murder?"
113
WWX doesn't respond. Perhaps that is an answer enough. He only breathes out, wet and warm and shuddering. LWJ lets it fan his lips for a moment and then closes the distance.
WWX doesn't respond to the kiss either. But he doesn't push him away. He remains still.
WWX doesn't respond to the kiss either. But he doesn't push him away. He remains still.
114
Shuts his eyes and lets himself be kissed as LWJ licks & bites his mouth to coax it open.
When that doesn't work, LWJ slides off the bench and pushes WWX into it. He climbs into his lap and sticks his knees on either side. The he cups his face, tilts it up, and kisses him again.

115
This time, WWX responds. Only for a moment before he's wrenching apart and facing away, his hand grabbing the backrest as if to hold himself back.
"You don't know who I am."
LWJ's mouth latches on his jaw instead. "Then enlighten me. Go ahead."
"You don't know who I am."
LWJ's mouth latches on his jaw instead. "Then enlighten me. Go ahead."
116
WWX grabs his face. Forces him to look into his eyes. "You don't wanna know."
LWJ pushes him back with a thud. "Don't you decide for me. I have known you for 3 years and loved you for 2 of them. I promise you, I can be worse."
That earns him a glare, follow by a resigned sigh.

117
"Have you heard the name Yiling Laozu?"
LWJ racks his brain, and turns out, yes he has. One of his eyebrows goes up. "You are the one who busted Jin Guangshan's prostituition racket?"
WWX blinks. Then he rolls his eyes. "Wow, that's a rather colourful assessment of it."
LWJ racks his brain, and turns out, yes he has. One of his eyebrows goes up. "You are the one who busted Jin Guangshan's prostituition racket?"
WWX blinks. Then he rolls his eyes. "Wow, that's a rather colourful assessment of it."
118
"What I did was that I blackmailed Meng Yao to corner him into giving up something against his father. Racket busting was just a side effect of it."
LWJ scrutinizes him. "Did you not know that was going to happen?"
WWX scoffs. "Does that matter?"
"It does."
LWJ scrutinizes him. "Did you not know that was going to happen?"
WWX scoffs. "Does that matter?"
"It does."
119
He presses on his eyes. Sighs. "I'm also the one who hacked into Nie Mingjue's company servers and held them hostage. They're your family friends right?"
To his surprise, LWJ huffs. "Oh I remember that. You forced Da-ge to finally get rid of that outdated technology."
To his surprise, LWJ huffs. "Oh I remember that. You forced Da-ge to finally get rid of that outdated technology."
120
WWX balks. "Do you have any idea how much money was extorted out of it?"
LWJ's shoulders rise and fall. "He's a billionaire. He'll live."
His teeth bare. "And now I've killed someone."
"I know," LWJ's face is blank but his eyes shine. Intense. "You killed someone for me."
LWJ's shoulders rise and fall. "He's a billionaire. He'll live."
His teeth bare. "And now I've killed someone."
"I know," LWJ's face is blank but his eyes shine. Intense. "You killed someone for me."
121
"You're insane."
"Brother said his tongue was missing," says LWJ, so close he's practically speaking onto WWX's lips. "He said it was personal. Did you cut his tongue out because he wanted to harm me, Wei Ying?"
WWX turns his face away. LWJ turns it back with a his fingers.
"Brother said his tongue was missing," says LWJ, so close he's practically speaking onto WWX's lips. "He said it was personal. Did you cut his tongue out because he wanted to harm me, Wei Ying?"
WWX turns his face away. LWJ turns it back with a his fingers.
122
"No, I did it because I was so maaaad with jealousy over you. As we seem to have established."
LWJ shifts back a little. Frowning. "Really?"
"OHMYGOD," WWX's face is in his hand now. "You're even worse than me. How did I ever think you were just a good uptight boy?"
LWJ shifts back a little. Frowning. "Really?"
"OHMYGOD," WWX's face is in his hand now. "You're even worse than me. How did I ever think you were just a good uptight boy?"
123
LWJ does not like that. "I was a good uptight boy before you came into my life."
It elicits a laugh out of WWX, which he quickly masks, muttering. "Dear god, what have I created."
"Shufu's biggest nightmare," LWJ quips.
This time when WWX laughs, he doesn't contain it.

124
"No wonder old man Lan gave me such a withering look when I went to find you."
His boyfriend is breathing easy now. A little more relaxed. So LWJ doesn't let the conversation go. "Did he now?"
WWX takes in a deep breath. "I killed Wen Xu because it was personal, it's true."

WWX takes in a deep breath. "I killed Wen Xu because it was personal, it's true."
125
LWJ waits. He knows there's more.
"But cutting his tongue was to make it look unprofessional. So my handlers wouldn't suspect."
LWJ tilts his head. "You're a genius, no surprises there. But you could have cut off something else then. Maybe a finger."

126
WWX stares. "Okay maybe that was a tiny bit personal too but ohmygod, can you please stop? I can't believe I'm having such a deranged conversation. With you of all people. It's giving me the jeebies."
He finishes his ramble breathing and blinking at him. Positively stunned.
He finishes his ramble breathing and blinking at him. Positively stunned.
127
Then he facepalms again. "I can't believe my questioning got dismissed because your uncle, of all people, took care of it. People like him are the ones I fuck up."
LWJ shrugs. "Being rich comes with perks."
"Yeah, and having a rich a boyfriend even more so, apparently."
LWJ shrugs. "Being rich comes with perks."
"Yeah, and having a rich a boyfriend even more so, apparently."
128
"Indeed," LWJ says sagely.
His boyfriend groans. "You're crazy, you know that, right?"
"Only for you," he says. And then kisses him.
WWX's fingers submerge into his hair and yank his face back. "What if this isn't the last time? What if I'm gonna do it again?"

129
"Go ahead then," LWJ answers, his gaze steady. "For every person you kill, I'm going to invent a night where I was in your bed."
WWX's fingers on the back of his head spasm. For a moment, he only stares, wide eyed. Then all of a sudden, he pulls him in and captures his mouth.

130
The kiss is somewhat needy. A lot more teeth than tongue. "You're insane. There's no way you're real," WWX whispers, without breaking the contact at all. "I can't believe that's the sexiest thing anyone's ever said to me."
LWJ hums. WWX's hand settles at the base of his neck.
LWJ hums. WWX's hand settles at the base of his neck.
131
"You're really not going to be rational about this, are you?"
WWX's fingers are moving between his ear to hair. It's terribly distracting. Hard to focus. LWJ answers nevertheless.
"Not unless you kill me about it. And even then, I'll leave you an alibi before I die."

132
WWX shakes his head, grinning now. "I was right. You're worse than even me. I've brought the worst out of you."
LWJ presses his mouth hard near his ear. "That's only half true. You've also brought the best out of me. Maybe you've simply brought the most out of me."
LWJ presses his mouth hard near his ear. "That's only half true. You've also brought the best out of me. Maybe you've simply brought the most out of me."
133
He sees WWX's throat move. Though he say anything. Simply pulls him back in. LWJ wonders if he should drag them to the washroom. It's getting too hot to continue out in the open.
He's still pondering when WWX pops his top two buttons open and licks the arch of his clavicle.

134
"I can't believe you cut his tongue off," LWJ breathes out.
"I know, right? He shouldn't have made that comment." WWX stuffs his face into his neck and places a sweet breathy kiss under his ear. "Karma's a bitch."
"I know, right? He shouldn't have made that comment." WWX stuffs his face into his neck and places a sweet breathy kiss under his ear. "Karma's a bitch."
135
Later, when they leave, LWJ will take WWX home & give Shufu another heart attack. A week later, he'll force the old man into having WWX over for dinner as well.
And a year later, when they'll move in together, this exposure therapy would have long resigned LQR to this grim fate.

But right then, he simply pulls him up and drags them both to the nearest bathroom.
