then i truly hope you can tell them the whole story one day.
[ but as for him... he's not sure. jiang cheng knows the full story now, but he's still upset with wei wuxian, still can't stand him. who knows if they'll ever be the same? ]
you're right though, about friends. i have other people i love now who aren't my family and they make me feel just as whole. so, i don't feel too bad about it.

you have such an interesting life, gongzi! the more i find out about you, the more curious i am!
[ good thing he used the word moniker because wei wuxian was wondering if he was an actual god. now he's thinking it's just a title.
and then the picture comes in and wei wuxian laughs in delight. ]
you look amazing!

ok fine
[ He did explore it a bit when he and Lan Wangji went and found the heart. But then they were tossed out and he hasn't been back since. He's not sure he wants to do this exactly but not out of fear, more... laziness? This is going to take a lot of effort on his part to navigate, damnit.
So, Wei Wuxian goes to explore. His trip is uneventful but what shakes him to the core are the whispers. The accusations. The strange feeling he heard Wen Qing's voice on the wind. It leaves him upset and frustrated and angry at the hotel but that's nothing he's going to tell Matoba.
So, an hour or so later, the text comes. ]
not great down there

[ Wei Wuxian is not the most graceful lover after his orgasm. His entire body feels like it's melting and the aftershocks have him aching. He groans, low and pleased, and as Dan Heng pulls off his cock, he can only just... flop back onto the bed and close his eyes. He feels wrecked and happy and like he's floating, really. ]
That was amazing, Dan Heng.
[ He's so grateful to the other man for taking care of him like this. He shifts onto his side then, looking towards Dan Heng as he lays down there and then glances towards his cock. A small smile spreads across his face. ]
Would you like me to take care of you?
[ He holds up his hand, fingers curled, making it clear he's offering a handjob. He's spent but he can definitely stroke Dan Heng off before he passes out completely. ]

[ Wei Wuxian knew, on some level, that telling Lan Wangji the truth of it all would only sour his opinion more on the Jiangs and Jiang Cheng as well. But he was not going to keep it from him because of that. He knew this is a story that needed to be told and so, he would accept the consequences of telling it. It's when Lan Wangji speaks, his voice full of barely held back fury, that Wei Wuxian softens a little, leans into his touch.
No one is ever mad on Wei Wuxian's behalf. Mad at him, sure. Mad for him? Never. And when Lan Wangji shifts their positions to face him, to look him down and make sure he is heard, Wei Wuxian does not flinch from the stare. He looks back at him, eyes wide and expression open. He will hear what Lan Wangji has to say.
And there is a small smile, at the end of it. ]
I won't.
[ He really, really won't. Not this time. This life is his to hold and own and be selfish with and he has done so, so, so much for others that he is so, so, so tired. He wants to live long and be happy and not be indebted to others anymore. But that requires letting go of those past debts, of letting himself be okay with that.
No, even if it takes him years to cultivate a new golden core, the only person in this life he would sacrifice it or himself for is sitting right across from him. ]
When we escaped... Jiang Cheng snuck away, went back for his parent's bodies. He was caught in the process. [ Of course, he doesn't know the truth. That Jiang Cheng was captured on purpose to save Wei Wuxian. He can only tell the story as he knows it. ] So, I had to go save him. Wen Ning helped me smuggle him out of Lotus Pier and we went to Yiling, where his sister was at the time. It's there that we discovered the Core-Melting Hand had taken his core.
[ A sigh there. This is a painful memory, of course, but it doesn't hurt as much as it used to. It's scabbed over with time. ]

[the fact that he actually pauses to think about that for a second maybe says something...]
no, not because it sounds like torture
not because it's like torture
[not really]

[Laziness is a better problem to have than threat to life and limb, look on the bright side! ...Although, perhaps that's still an issue even for a demonic cultivator. Better equipped than most, though.]
A very broad statement. But not untrue.
Did you find it?

I imagine it would.
...how do conversations like this end?

[he definitely should've been expecting that question]
it's... fun.
i mean, sometimes it kinda sucks in the moment, but more like it's frustrating - but in a good way

Sometimes if you don't show up to whatever banquet they decide to throw, or if you get pulled into a game and don't play along, they punish you by taking away some of your chips. It's their way of forcing us to do what they want.
[ Usually without warning! So if you value your chips, when in doubt, cooperate. Xue Yang doesn't always value his chips; he has the bank of Xiao Xingchen to fund him if he needs it. But sometimes it's easier, or at least less boring, to go along anyway.
Xue Yang glances at Wei Wuxian, his expression neutral. ]
From just the ropes? Nah. But if you try to get me off on purpose then it'll happen.
[ Xue Yang is not inherently horny for being tied up--even by the great Yiling Patriarch--but he is also not so chill that he won't rise if beckoned. Wei Wuxian can consider himself warned.
The two of them are enthusiastically beckoned into House Finch immediately upon arrival. Very quickly they're being ushered towards one of the many private rooms, which has already been arranged with plenty of rope and some cushions just for them. ]

[ Indeed, Xue Yang doesn't get it. ]
That's why you kill them. Anyone who would try to take it from you should know what's coming to them. They can try to fight all they want, but you're the one who made it; you can kill them and keep it for yourself.
[ Unless you die. That part kind of sucks, but you just need to not do that. Or come back to life again afterwards. Either way, the point of a weapon is to use it. Is it really such an issue to use it once in order to use it again? ]

[ ah yes, he would appreciate the help. dan heng can finish himself off, but.. it's better when someone helps, he finds, especially when he's this turned on. and to think, before his arrival here he'd never touched a single person.
dan heng nods, licking his lips and wiping his chin with his knuckles before he slides back up to lie at wei wuxian's side, his eyes hazy with arousal. ]
.. I'd like that.
[ he's painfully hard at this point. so he takes wei wuxian's hand, and gently guides it down between his legs with a gasp, eager to be touched, to be rid of this tension by the hand of someone that he has come to trust. ]
