By the time Lan Zhan and Wei Ying arrive at the the Yunmeng market it is already mid afternoon. The sun is bright and hot. The streets are filled with men women and kids waiting to be served at the many shops already open.
"It looks crowded." Lan Zhan says slowing down.
Wei Ying casually holds Lan Zhan's hands and increases their pace again.

"Wei Ying! What are you doing?" Lan Zhan asks tips of his ears turning red.

"Why Lan Zhan... I am just giving you moral support." Wei Ying says sweetly smiling and adds, "I know Hanguang Jun doesn't like crowds."

'He remembers.' Lan Zhan's mind whispers and a small smile forms on his face. Lan Zhan holds Wei Ying's hand more firmly.

Wei Ying excitedly looks around the various shops and the people.
"Lan Zhan, isn't Yunmeng beautiful." Wei Ying says smiling innocently.

"Mn."

"Lan Zhan, when you came here yesterday was it not like this?" Wei Ying asks.

"No. It looks much more active today. There was barely anyone here yesterday." Lan Zhan answers.

"Mn.. Let's go ask around." Wei Ying says pulling Lan Zhan towards a shop selling lotus seeds.

"Young masters, how may I help you?" The vender asks politely.

"Give us a pack of your best quality seeds." Wei Ying replies.

While the vendor is preparing the pack he asks, "The market looks more crowded today. Is there a special occasion? "

"Oh. No. No occasion. It's just that there was a problem on the outskirts of the market for the past few months." the vendor says, and lowers his voice, "undead corpse infestation."

"Oh." Wei Ying fringes surprise.

"But luckily a young cultivator took care of it yesterday and the news spread so people are rejoicing." The vendor says happily.

Wei Ying looks at Lan Zhan and winks knowingly.

They take the packet and start walking towards the cottage.

Once they are on the outskirts Wei Ying slows down.
"What is it?" Lan Zhan asks as he puts his hands around Wei Ying's shoulder sensing something wrong.

"I guess all the shopping we did has drained me a bit Hanguang Jun....I am fine." Wei Ying says smiling.

'He is tired. He looks weak. He needs to rest.' Lan Zhan thinks .
"Wei Ying, we should stop and rest if you are tired. We have time. We don't have to rush." Lan Zhan says worriedly.

Wei Ying can see how worried Lan Zhan is.
Wei Ying cups Lan Zhan's face with his hand and say, "Lan Zhan, let's just go to the cottage first. I can rest there OK? "

"I think I should carry you." Lan Zhan says softly ...it's barely more than a whisper. Lan Zhan knows he will be refused.

Wei Ying smiles and starts walking again.

'Why do you want to act like you are OK all the time. Let me take care of you Wei Ying.' Lan Zhan thinks as they keep walking.

They approach the cottage.
They see the midwife and a man in his 70s sitting outside skinning chicken.
As soon as the midwife sees them she approaches them and bows.

"Young masters, you are back." the midwife says happily.

Wei Ying looks at the old man and says,  "That must be your husband. He is back I see."

The old man looks and bows to them and says, "Thank you for ridding us of the undead corpses young masters. we are very grateful. "

"If you are greatful you wouldn't mind answering few of our questions would you?" Wei Ying asks bowing to the old man.
"Not at all.  Please ask away." the old man says nodding.

Wei Ying begins his enquiry.

"When did the problem first start?"

The old man thinks and answers,  "Well over month and a half ago give or take a few days.."

"Did you notice anything different before it started?"

The old man gives it some thought and answers, "Not really but the evening before the corpses started attacking heavy clouds gathered and black smoke covered the moon for a few minutes."

"Black smoke?"

The old man nods and adds, "Oh and we could hear a strange flute music for a few minutes."

"Flute music?",Wei Ying asks clearly surprised.

"Yes. We were pretty sure that Yiling patriarch had come back. But thankfully we never heard the music again." the old man says, sounding relieved.

'My bad reputation is following me even after so many years,' Wei Ying thinks to himself and sighs.

"What is it young Master?" the midwife asks looking at Wei Ying's crestfallen face.

Lan Zhan notices that Wei Ying's face is paler than what it was sometime back and he speaks for the first time, "Madam, if it's not too much trouble, could we..."

The midwife knows what Lan Zhan is going to say so she just points them to the cottage and adds, "The young masters are welcome to stay here for as long as they need."

Lan Zhan supports Wei Ying and guides him inside.

The old man gives a puzzled look to the two men when he sees Lan Zhan close the door after walking into the room.

*In the room*

Lan Zhan sits Wei Ying on the bed, and stands next to it.

"Wei Ying, why didn't you tell me you are not feeling well?  We should not have ventured out of Lotus Cove today." Lan Zhan says sternly.

Wei Ying, seeing that Lan Zhan is upset pulls him on the bed and starts in a soothing tone, "Hanguang Jun are you really going to scold a sick...weak man now?"
When Lan Zhan looks at him, Wei Ying pouts.

'He always tries to act cute when he wants to get out of trouble... Stop being cute Wei Ying... Lan Zhan when will you stop falling for Wei Ying's tricks.' Lan Zhan thinks as he cups Wei Ying's face and kisses his cheek.

Lan Zhan looks at Wei Ying's surprised face and gives him a warm smile.

'Hanguang Jun...if you think you can get away by giving me a peck on the cheek...you would be would be wrong, 'Wei Ying thinks as he holds Lan Zhan's hand that is still gently stroking his face and pulls Lan Zhan closer with his free hand and kisses Lan Zhan's lips.
Lan Zhan doesn't resist but doesn't let the kisses get deeper or passionate.  Wei Ying gives up and let's go of Lan Zhan.

"Hanguang Jun, why wouldn't you let me kiss you properly? Why do you treat me like a child asking for candy before he has had dinner." Wei Ying says irritated and then for good measure he pouts....again.

"Wei Ying, I promised to take care of you. I fully intend to do that. You are exhausted. And I know there is something more you are not telling me. So please take rest. Whatever it is that you want I will give it. Just get better first. Hm?" Lan Zhan says as he removes Wei Ying's boots and puts both his legs on the bed.

Wei Ying has never seen this side of Lan Zhan. He feels like he is falling in love with Lan Zhan all over again and he blurts out, "I love you Lan Zhan."

Lan Zhan looks at his husband as Wei Ying slowly lies down on the bed and opens his arms and says, "Just hold me...Hanguang Jun.... Just hold me please."

Lan Zhan can't handle the emotions that are stiring up in his heart at the delicate and beautiful sight before him.

His heart overflows with feelings as a tear rolls down his cheek.
'How can someone this beautiful be this misunderstood... How can someone this pure be this hated... How can the world not see what I can see.' Lan Zhan wonders as he take off his shoes and gets in bed next to his husband.

Wei Ying rests his head on Lan Zhan's shoulder and puts his hand on Lan Zhan's heart.
"Lan Zhan... I can hear it...I can hear your heart." Wei Ying says, smiling to himself.

"Mn."

"It's talking to me." Wei Ying adds.

"Mn."

"Hanguang Jun... why do you love me?" Wei Ying asks as he puts his hands inside Lan Zhan robes and puts his hand over Lan Zhan's heart.

Lan Zhan's breath hitches as Wei Ying's hand touches his bare skin.

"Wei Ying! What are you doing?" Lan Zhan asks panicking.
"Lan Zhan... you said I could..." Wei Ying says as he pulls himself closer to Lan Zhan and places a kiss on the only bare skin he could reach...Lan Zhan's neck.

Lan Zhan tries to get up but Wei Ying doesn't let him. The hand that is on Lan Zhan's chest doesn't let him move.

"Wei Ying.. " Lan Zhan gulps.
"Wei Ying... we can't right now." Lan Zhan says, in a deep low voice.

"We can't what Hanguang Jun...?" Wei Ying asks placing another kiss on Lan Zhan's neck.

"Wei Ying...please we can't" Lan Zhan begs and gulps again.

"Say it Hanguang Jun... we can't... What?" Wei Ying says as his hand inside Lan Zhan's robes starts to wander and explore.

"Wei Ying..." Lan Zhan says as he tries to remove Wei Ying's hand from inside his robes.
Wei Ying resists. He doesn't want his hand anywhere but on Lan Zhan. He becomes bolder as he puts his mouth on Lan Zhan's neck and bites.

"Wei..ya.. Please.. " Lan Zhan moans.
Wei Ying sucks on the bite and Lan Zhan wants to moan... But he remembers where they are.
Lan Zhan wants to cast a silencing charm but his brain has lost that capability. He desperately tries to remember it again and again but fails.

{A/N}

Lan Zhan is aroused and embarrassed at the same time... Breathing heavily he manages to produce a few words in between his low broken moans, "The noise, charm.. Ah.. Silence."

Wei Ying looks puzzled for a moment and realizes what Lan Zhan wants to say... but he is enjoying himself too much so he says, "Lan Zhan, speak clearly... I can't understand you." and continues to bite, suck and lick.

Lan Zhan completely loses it when Wei Ying sucks with a bit too much force.
Wei Ying is prepared for the reaction. As soon as Lan Zhan opens his mouth Wei Ying closes it with his.
Wei Ying's tongue enters Lan Zhan's warm moist mouth and begins to taste every corner.
Wei Ying urges Lan Zhan's tongue into action and the kiss becomes deeper... Hungrier.

Lan Zhan's brain completely stops working and he flips them over with out breaking the kiss.

His hands go to Wei Ying's belts and he begins to untie it.

Wei Ying wraps his arms around Lan Zhan's neck and pulls him closer.

Having successfully removed the belts , Lan Zhan slides Wei Ying robes off his shoulder.
His hands start wandering over Wei Ying long slender neck and slowly make their way down to his collarbone. He feels a slight bump there. And he stops.
'Lan Zhan!  WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU SELFISH INCONSIDERATE MAN! .' Lan Zhan's mind screams.

And just like that his brain begins to function again.
He breaks the kiss and looks at Wei Ying's face.
Wei Ying's eyes are closed and his breath is laboured.
Lan Zhan feels ashamed of himself... ashamed of his lack of self control.

Wei Ying opens his eyes... Clearly confused and slightly disappointed.
Lan Zhan guiltily keeps looking down at Wei Ying.
Wei Ying is opens his mouth to say something when he feels hardness poking him between his legs.
He looks down.
Lan Zhan's robes can't hide how he is feeling or how much he is feeling .

Lan Zhan's arousal is very clear and hard.
Fear grips Lan Zhan's heart at the thought of what he almost did... Again.

He tries to sit up and leave the bed but Wei Ying is using his ironlike grip to hold him in place.

Lan Zhan can easily shake him off but doesn't want to hurt the other man's feelings so he strokes Wei Ying's cheek and says sweetly, "Wei Ying, now is not the time... Or the place."

"Why Lan Zhan? You clearly want me... and I want you." Wei Ying asks not understanding why Lan Zhan always backs off.

Lan Zhan can't answer that without hurting the man he loves ,he says, "Wei Ying, I promise I will tell you everything but right now you need to rest... Gain your strength. I need you..."

Wei Ying's doesn't let him finish. He blurts out, "You are hard Lan Zhan... you want me Lan Zhan... please..just let me...I want.. "
'Let me touch you... feel you...stroke you...i want to know how you feel in my palms......Fuck.'

Color rises to Wei Ying's face....unable to complete his sentence...he closes his mouth and looks away from Lan Zhan's face.

Lan Zhan doesn't understand what can embarrass a shameless person like Wei Ying. He cups Wei Ying's face and turns it towards himself.

"Tell me what you want Wei Ying." Lan Zhan says gently and waits.
Wei Ying doesn't answer , but the blush coloring his face deepens.

Lan Zhan recalls the words Wei Ying had spoken before he looked away, 'You are hard Lan Zhan... you want me Lan Zhan... please..just let me...I want..'

His eyes widen as he realizes what Wei Ying was asking of him.
'He wants to touch me...'
The thought of Wei Ying's hands on him start arousing him again. His shaft which had slowing stated to soften starts becoming hard again.

Wei Ying notices as he feels it too. He feels as Lan Zhan becomes harder.
Wei Ying looks at Lan Zhan.
"Wei Ying... I... I said.. I mean." Lan Zhan tries to form a coherent sentence but fails.

He waits for a few seconds and clears his mind. 'What if I lose control again? What is if hurt him?  What if he has the attack again?...Hanguang Jun, take it slow.'

{A/N}

He regains his composure and smiles at Wei Ying, "You can have anything you want but not today... I remember what I promised Wei Ying... so please just give me some time OK?"

Wei Ying can see the desperation behind Lan Zhan's smile and doesn't want to put the other man in an uncomfortable situation so he nods.

"Ok." Wei Ying says simply and turns to face away from Lan Zhan.

Pain cuts through Lan Zhan's heart ,'I have hurt him. He thinks I don't want him... Maybe he just wants some space...'

Lan Zhan sits up to get out of bed.
Wei Ying holds his wrist and looks at him confused, "Where are you going now?"
When Lan Zhan just looks at him dumbly Wei Ying pulls him to bed again and fringeing anger says, "Hanguang Jun, just because I am letting you off this time doesn't mean you can just up and leave." then he adds in a softer tone, " you still need to hold me. I will not have you leave me."

Then he puts his head on Lan Zhan's chest, intertwines their fingers together and sleeps.
This is the most peaceful and content Lan Zhan has felt in years.
