I walked into the kitchen and twelve of them were just staring at the oven.

Being in the background was his preferred situation, all things considered, especially with the current arrangements at his school. He'd been sent along with other members of his family to take part in the education program, but it wasn't as if he was a prodigy like some of the others.

He was more comfortable just fading into the crowd and that would have been fine, except for one thing. He'd accidentally caught the attention of a classmate from another clan, someone he'd.. well, he'd been aware of Wei Wuxian, because who wasn't with the way he tended to make himself known.

Not in a bad way, but he had a tendency to act without considering all the consequences and sometimes Wen Ning wished he was that bold. Granted, his intelligence and skill would have set him apart anyway, but being as outspoken as he was tended to get him noticed for the wrong reasons.

And somehow Wei Wuxian had zeroed on him. He still had no idea why, not really, but it was becoming a routine for the other teenager to show up wherever he was and that was drawing more attention than he was comfortable with.

But he couldn't say as much without being rude, at least not in his own mind so he'd been trying to find new places to study, which was why he'd settled in this corner of the library on campus. Clubs were meeting elsewhere so he had some quiet.

Maybe.

He'd gotten used to the schedule at the Cloud Recess though, and it had been a tiring traveling home and what accompanied his return. Not that he didn't enjoy reuniting with everyone, he just needed some time to himself so he'd excused himself as soon as it been polite to return to his rooms.

Which hadn't changed in the time he'd been away and he exhaled a slow breath before he started removing his robes to get ready for bed. It was early by Lotus Pier standards, but he'd gotten used to the schedule at Cloud Recesses and it was easier to just readjust gradually.

He had to be up early for training in the morning.

He'd been on autopilot ever since he'd been told the news, just going through the motions of making arrangements, speaking to his grandmother on his mother's side and accepting her help with the funerals for his family. Because that was at least something to focus on. The things he had to do, but not why he was doing them.

Because he couldn't face that. Not yet, not even when he was standing there dry-eyed watching them lower the coffins into the ground. He hadn't cried a single tear since he'd stepped foot into the hospital morgue to identify items found on the bodies of his family.

Of everyone he'd grown up with. His mother ring had survived and now rested on his finger and the fire had been ruled an accident allowing for release of the bodies. Once the graves were filled that was when he turned to start walking away.

It was part of his routine now, walking the residential district of the Last Ward where he could be of the most aid in multiple ways and tonight was no different, his footsteps carrying him through the streets, pausing here and there to check on a building he knew was one children and teenagers used for shelter.

Not that he didn't aid the adults either, but the most vulnerable were more likely to be among the children and whether it was money, healing or enough to get them to his uncle's school, it was the least he could do.

And then he turned the corner and stopped dead in his tracks when his eyes locked with the man approaching him, his breath catching in his throat. Because that face was unmistakable and given how many mights he saw it in his dreams...

"....Wei Ying?"

The request had been reasonable enough when he'd gotten it and after talking it over and getting the assurances they'd bring him in alive. Lan Wangji had agreed to help bring Wei Wuxian out of the Underground to turn himself in. He hadn't been present for the incident but he'd been around long enough to see the road his partner had been walking and if this was a chance to bring him back to where Wangji needed him.

It was worth it.

He rarely went into the Underground unless it was to locate Wei Wuxian and today was no different, his footsteps moving, the darkness rendering him all but powerless as he moved through the crowded areas, looking for Wei Ying. This was his last chance at redemption and bringing him home was Wangji's priority.

Had always been his priority.

He'd been running late because of a situation at the school so Wei Ying had gone to the club ahead of him and when Wangji arrives, it takes a little time to find his husband and when he does, Wei Ying is on the dancefloor.

...Which means he ends up just waiting and watching his husband dance, his expression neutral, fingers twitching at his sides.

This is all your fault!"

Jiang Cheng is standing there, holding the letter in shaking hands, eyes blazing as he stares at Wei Wuxian, his voice rising. "The stories are just stories, we'll be fine, what's the worst that could happen?! You ... " His voice cracked on the words.

"A-jie went and gave herself to him so we could come home. She ..."

He's been at the library well into the early morning hours every night this week, all but locked into a small side room with everything he needs to finish the papers he's been working on.

Hand writing everything because it's easier for him that way, his pen flying across the paper fluidly as he writes.

The hunt has been close enough to let them return to the jingshi after it had concluded, leaving the juniors with cleanup and the two of them entering their home, the door closing behind them before his gaze settles on Wuxian.

Enough time had passed that her mother had calmed, as much as she could and Yanli had decided it was safe enough to ask permission to take A-Xian out for the afternoon. The boat ride was the least likely option to get a refusal and she'd spent the morning preparing a lunch for the two of them with A-Xian's favorites.

And once the boat was on the river, she gestured for him to come join her inside.

"Come and sit with me, A-Xian."

After this conversation

The room was quiet,lights still off, Wangji half watching Wei Ying using his phone, one arm wrapping around his husband as he rests against the pillow. He should already be up and moving but it's one of their actual days off so he's being a little lazy.
