The Untamed: Heartbeats

Heartbeats

Wen Ning looked back, understanding the Second Young Master Lan's rage and watched as he caringly carry the Young Master Wei away. After he make sure the Clan Leader Jing Cheng will no longer try to hurt Wei Wuxian, he will join them, but for now, he will leave the Light Bearing Lord to take care of the person he love most.

Soon, Lan Wangji had Wei Ying back on his arms, resting inside the boat that will take them away from that place that was no longer Wei's home. He let the boat float freely over the waters of the Lotus Lake. He knew that Wen Ning will soon join them, so he waited patiently as he watched the man that hold his heart. A minute or so after the boat begin to drift, Wei Ying open his eyes with a low moan.

"Lan Zhan..." He whisper, looking up at him, noticing the trace of tears in his handsome face. He dare to move his hand up and remove what was left of them quite gently, making Lan Zhan to close his eyes for a second, embracing the welcoming warmth of the caring hand. Lan Wangji was struggling to keep his deep feelings from break out of his control, but with Wei touching him so tenderly, he wonder for how much longer he will keep his love for him bottle up, because ever since Wei Ying came back, his affection for him had escape in small waves already, making it obvious, even for Jiang Cheng to take notice.

"What happen? Why are you crying? Did Jiang Cheng said more hurtful words to you? Lan Zhan, please don't mind them... when his is mad, he said things like that without a care. It had been that way ever since we were kids. About his accusation of us been intimate friends..." Lan Zhan's heart beat faster.

"I don't mind..." Wei Ying arched an eyebrow at those words, wondering about their meaning. Was really Lan Zhan getting that bold? He knew for a while now, that his heartbeats will only increase when near that beautiful and strong man, to the point he could call it love, but he didn't expect the Light Bearing Lord will also share the feeling.

"Lan Zhan... Oh, Lan Zhan... why don't you mind?" Wei Ying pressed, hoping to crack that wall he had built since childhood. Lan Wangji locked away but even with the single light of the lantern, Wei could see a tint on Lan Zhan's earlobes. Then, he decided to find the answer more directly.

"Lan Zhan, if I were to kiss you now, what will you do?" Wangji looked at Wei Ying in surprise. He was mischievous by nature, but Wangji wasn't expecting him to ask him such question out of the blue. His feelings were already in the verge of bursting out, so he didn't needed Ying to give him a reason to let them out in full. Sixteen years ago, he had promise to himself that if he ever had the chance to have Wei Ying back, he will protect him until his last breath, leaving everything behind, but a physical relationship beyond that of brotherhood was... his cheeks flushed and Wei smiled.

"I see... you are too shy to even think about it... but..." Then, Wei pull Wangji down to him and go right ahead and kiss him, expecting the Light Bearing Lord to pull away instantly. However, to his surprise, Lan Zhan didn't push him away, nor reject the welcoming offering, but held him closer and took control of the kiss. Soon, Wangji was demanding for Ying to surrender to him, deepening the kiss, exposing his desire to him, like an open flower.

Wei Ying was unable to resist him either, allowing Wangji to go deeper and deeper, to take full control of his mouth, as both of their hearts went crazy inside their chests. Wei moaned in pleasure, taking a bit of air in the process, but Lan Zhan capture his mouth again, unwilling to part with it, as his repressed feelings finally overpowered his will force. Long minutes passed as they kiss each other, until finally, Wangji let him go.

"Wei Ying..." His voice was deep, full of desire and love and Wei caressed his face once more.

"Ah, you kiss so good... who would have thought you could..." Wei Ying smiled.

"You acted first..." Wangji said in protest.

"Indeed I did... Lan Zhan, for how long had you bottle up those feelings?" Wei asked curiously.

"Long." Was his short answer. Wei pouted.

"Ah, that's not near enough, was it before or after I die?" Wei asked first.

"Before..." Lan Wangji said calmly.

"Hum... before or after I leaved the Cloud Recesses the first time?" Wei pushed further.

"Before." Another short answer, yet Wei simply smiled.

"Before or after we stumble into the Cold Pool Cave by accident?" Wangji looked down at him with a hint of a smile that make Wei heart jump inside his chest.

"Before." Wei smile widen.

"Before I make you drink wine?" Wei asked even more curiously now.

"Yes." Wangji reply.

"That early? But back then you didn't..." Lan Wangji couldn't stop himself from simply shutting up Wei with another kiss. There was another boat coming and he was sure it was Wen Ning, which mean they needed to go on their way soon.

"We can talk about this later... Wen Ning is coming." The Light Bearing Lord said and Wei Wuxian smiled.

"Alright... it's a promise." Wei said before sitting by Wangji.

"Mmm." The Second Lan Master nodded in agreement, while looking at Wei Ying, wave his hand and yell to Wen Ning, with his heart still full of love for the man that had go against the world out love for his family. No sacrifice he had done for Wei's sake will ever be enough to surpass losing a golden core, yet he was set in protecting the Yiliang Patriarch against all odds and that, was an unbreakable promise coming from the deepest part of his heart.
