Because of You

42

The next day, Wei Wuxian was the last to wake, as Wangji let him sleep while he and his brother dressed and meditated for a bit. Wangji woke Wuxian while Xichen went to order their breakfast.

"Lan Zhan, no!" Wuxian whined.

"I have a bath prepared for you, we will be leaving after breakfast which Brother when to order," Wangji told him.

"I want sleep," Wuxian said.

"Don't make me take drastic measures," Wangji warned.

"No!" Wuxian said.

"Alright, I warned you," Wangji said.

Lan Wangji tossed the blanket off the bed and scooped Wei Wuxian up and over his shoulder, "LAN ZHAN!" he yelled.

Lan Xichen entered as he watched Lan Wangji carry Wei Wuxian over his shoulder and into the bathroom. He couldn't help but follow and watch wangji literally drop Wuxian into the bathtub. Lan Xichen laughed as Wei Wuxian popped out of the water.

"Lan Zhan! Bully!" He yelled.

"I warned you, now bath, breakfast will be here shortly," Wangji said and closed the door behind him.

"Didi, so bold of you," Xichen said.

"I warned him, he did not listen," Wangji replied.

"He is going to end you," Xichen said.

"I doubt it, if he is mad at me, I know how to persuade him," Wangji said.

"Again, you have become so bold all of a sudden," Xichen said.

Wei Wuxian returned to them after he finished his bath. As he learned he can manipulate water, he took some and held it about his hand in a sphere and walked out to Lan Wangji.

"Lan Zhan?!" Wei Wuxian said.

Lan Wangji looked at him and stood up, "you can control water?"

"I can do a lot of things now, and one of them, is payback," Wuxian said.

Just as he tossed it, Wangji moved and it ended up hitting Lan Xichen, soaking him from head to toe.

"Oooh no," Wei Wuxian mumbled, "Xichen-ge, I meant to hit Lan Zhan, I apologize."

Lan Xichen glared at him, "apology not accepted," he said.

Wei Wuxian went to him and using some spiritual energy, he evaporated the water off of Lan Xichen as if he was never hit with water. He then turned to Lan Zhan, "this isn't over," he warned.

Lan Wangji smirked, "are you sure? You might hit Gege again."

"Oh I will not," Wuxian said.

Lan Wangji was about to move but it was as if Wei Wuxian manipulated gravity and the air around him and used it to hold Lan Wangji in place keeping him from moving.

"Oh, what is this, can't move?" Wuxian asked.

"How are you doing this?" Wangji asked.

"I am using the forces of the air to hold you in place. It's quite strong," Wuxian said, "now, what should I do with you?"

"Forgive me?" Wangji asked.

"I was going to make you grovel once I got you wet but since you got your brother involved maybe he can help decide your fate," Wuxian said and turned to Lan Xichen, "what do you think?"

"Make him carry you all the way back to Gusu," Xichen said.

"That isn't a punishment," Wuxian said, "he would gladly carry me without question."
