[leans into the touch, tension loosening from his shoulders]

For some reason I'm not in the mood to give her any of her desires. What do we do then?

[one_note]

If you ignore her and she herself attempts to negotiate, will you reject it?

[weiyingdown]

I don't know. It depends on the details of what she wants to negotiate.

[one_note]

Then that may be your best course of action. If you are set on this.

[weiyingdown]

Set on this? Hanguang-Jun, don't make it sound like I'm the one who started this. You'll hurt my feelings.

[one_note]

[gently, finally finding a gazebo and settling them on the bench inside]

I am not.

You are choosing your course of action.

[weiyingdown]

Do you disapprove?

[curious, as he sprawls his legs out and makes no attempt to remove himself from Lan Wangji's lap]

[one_note]

I prefer harmony.

[adjusts himself easily to be a Wei Wuxian chair]

But discouraging conflict can lead to greater resentments.

[weiyingdown]

[settles himself so that he can stoke Lan Wangji's hair, fingers carding through it in a steady rhythm]

Er-gege, I would be delighted to let you handle everything if I was confident that it would lead to harmony. But she's always going to stir up trouble, so no need to waste your time.

[one_note]

I live there also.

[weiyingdown]

Is she bothering you?

[one_note]

[shakes his head]

Responsibility to help, if I am able.

[weiyingdown]

You already help too much. If it's my problem, I can handle it. You should take it easy.

[one_note]

I will.

[...

daring]

But if you feel you need it, will you ask?

[weiyingdown]

So persistent! Yes, yes, I will. If it's something I can't resolve on my own, I'll ask for your assistance.

[one_note]

[nods, and also relaxes, subtly; Wei Wuxian only feels it because they're pressed close together.]

[weiyingdown]

[continues petting his hair, much like he did the day when they took turns napping in each other's laps]

You're too considerate of others. Really, you should do whatever you want.

[one_note]

[bows his head into it, feeling unaccountably starved for the gentle contact]

I am doing what I want.

[weiyingdown]

Is that so? You only ever seem to want to do things for others.

[one_note]

...

To see you happy.

I like it.

[weiyingdown]

I don't understand why. But I want you to be happy too, so I'll go along with it.

[one_note]

[someday, he hopes Wei Wuxian will just want to be happy on his own behalf too...?

kisses the top of his head about it. it's not uncomfortable here; both of them warm together, the sounds of the garden peaceful this late]

[weiyingdown]

[it might take him a while to get there. but for now it is a tentative equilibrium here, where he is content to be content so long as Lan Wangji is. he's even happy, sprawled in his arms at that moment, selfishly keeping him away from his comfortable room and nice bed.

he doesn't fall asleep. he does let himself drift as he runs his hand through Lan Wangji's silky soft hair]

[one_note]

[neither of them might be able to sleep properly tonight, but they'll spend it together nevertheless.]
