A sword is a sword

"Lan Zhan?"

"Mn?"

"You know, I have been thinking lately..."

"Mn?"

"Well, how should I say this..."

"..."

"I mean, it will probably sound kind of weird..."

"..."

"I know, I know, you would not laugh even when I say this..."

"I would never laugh at Wei Ying."

"Lan Zhan, why so serious all of a sudden? Do not worry, I did not think you actually would."

"..."

"..."

"What had Wei Ying been thinking lately?"

"Well... I was thinking that I perhaps wanted to use my sword."

"Sword?"

"Mn, my sword."

"..."

"..."

"Why?"

"I feel like lately, it had been you doing all the hard work and taking care of everything."

"...?"

"Do not get me wrong, Lan Zhan, I do not mean I do not like it. It is just that I am a man too. I want to have some say as well. I want to be in charge at times."

"Wei Ying wants to use his sword?"

"Yes, well... I have not been able to use it at all after I came back from... Yeah, after we were reunited. And I kind of wanted to try it if you are not completely opposed to the idea."

"..."

"Lan Zhan? Do you not like it?"

"That is not it."

"Then what is it?"

"Why ask now?"

"Lan Zhan, I know what you are thinking, it is written all over your face. Sure, this may seem sudden to you but I have actually been thinking about this for a while now. Every single time, it is always you doing all the work and I feel like a freeloader. I want to pull around my own weight, at least sometimes."

"..."

"..."

"Wei Ying does not like how things are now?"

"It is not that I do not like it. It is fine really. It is just that sometimes... I just feel too pampered. I want to be of help as well."

"..."

"Lan Zhan, what are you thinking?"

"Wei Ying really wants to try it?"

"Yes. It has been a long time; I do not exactly know if I will be any good at it as things stand. But I would still like to try."

"..."

"Lan Zhan? Why are you looking upset all of a sudden?"

"When have you done it last?"

"I guess when I was still a teenager? Back in Lotus Pier before it fell..."

"..."

"..."

"Wei Ying..."

"Ah, it is nothing. I just thought back to those days and got lost in the memories."

"Wei Ying really wants to try it? With me?"

"Oh right, we should practice first before I go into action right? Will you be my partner, Lan Zhan?"

"Who else?"

"Lan Zhan, why do you sound so jealous? Are you perhaps pouting. Do you not want me to use my sword that much? If you do not, then I will not. I just thought that it could feel good to be able to use it after so long again."

"It feels good."

"Why blushing? Lan Zhan, what are you thinking about?!"

"If Wei Ying wants, I can be the bottom. But Wei Ying is not allowed to do it with anyone else."

"Lan Zhan, what are you talking about?"

"Wei Ying wants to be on top, right?"

"Lan Zhan..."

"..."

"Hahaha, I mean yeah sure, I would love to sometimes try being the lead in bed. But I was not talking about that, I meant trying to use a true sword. I was talking about taking Suibian with me on night hunts!"
