For @akyesein. Dear Fane, I hope you like my first venture into wangxian fluff and humor. You asked for "Wei Wuxian is a little shit", but somehow Lan Xichen became more of a little shit in this fic. I hope you still enjoy it. :D I wish you a wonderful New Year 2021! <3

How not to date an introvert, a practical demonstration

What has Lan Zhan ever done to insult the sun? Was it that one time when he was three and ran outside stark naked because Uncle wanted him to wear an itchy and too-small suit for a distant auntie's sixtieth birthday? If Lan Huan hasn't forgotten and can still tease him about it, then surely the sun remembers, too. And, apparently, it still holds a grudge. Otherwise, why would it attack Lan Zhan so mercilessly?

He pulls the covers over his head and groans. The sound echoes inside his head and makes it throb even harder.

"Ah, you're finally awake!"

Lan Huan's voice must hate him today, too. Lan Zhan would swear that it isn't usually this booming.

"Go away."

Lan Huan has the audacity to laugh. Traitor .

"Didi, don't be like that."

Oh, had he said that out loud?

There is the sound of the curtains closing and the red sheen behind his eyelids instantly dims. Maybe Lan Huan can be forgiven.  

Very self-explanatory, but...

All the juniors are tired, & they just want sleep. It was a long night, but no major injuries, just a couple of scratches.

It’s a night-hunt ritual that they all go into the Lans’ room and let Zizhen (the only medically able one) clean the wounds before they head off to bed, seperatedly.

But since it’s super late and Jingyi thinks platonic cuddling is the perfect next step in their friendship, he invites a Ling and Zizhen to stay the night in their room..

Zizhen excitedly agrees, which mean Jin Ling argues a little but stays bc Zizhen is staying and he isn’t going to refuse free cuddles!!

It’s awkward bc there’s two beds and they’re seperate, so they move the mattresses into the middle and try to sleep

Try being the key word there, bc jingyi & a ling can’t sleep next to each other or they’ll just kick each other to death. no exaggeration.

but sizhui & zizhen were so happy cuddling!!🥺

they eventually settle into this order, left to right: jl, oyzz, ljy, lsz

one person in between and lsz to restrain ljy if needed. the smart way to sleep.

it’s a bit of a mess. but fluffy. ljy & lsz have definitely done this before, and they’re a tangle of limbs, which means oyzz and jl aren’t too squished.

since i live by jl’s touch boundaries being respected, oyzz gives him about an inch of room, bc that’s about all he can give.

but also,, it’s cold and oyzz is warm

Nuu that’s sad... but here:

Jin Ling goes to his uncle, ofc. If he’s at the Cloud Reccesses & JC isn’t there, then he will either stay alone and try to calm down by himself or go to WWX. He usually has nightmares about, you know, almost getting murdered by his uncle, and his parents’ death in strange accuracy.

Lan Sizhui always has the same exact nightmare: drowning. In a river. It’s cold and dark and he doesn’t want to remember this, and he always wakes up in a cold sweat. He immediately goes to Jingyi, who’s usually the closest, or whoever happens to be nearby. After calming down a bit & bringing himself back to reality, he’ll separate from whoever he decided to cling to, and go to his dads and just kind of sit with them. He likes being reminded that wwx is actually here with them.

The first time Sizhui had a nightmare & a junior that wasn’t Jingyi was there (idk why they were separated and am offended at myself for making this happen) it was probably Zizhen? Maybe Sizhui was sleeping over at Zizhen’s and had a nightmare. He handled it fine, but was kinda spooked.

Jin Ling, in the other hand, has no clue wtf is going on besides the fact that his friend has a death grip on his arm and might be crying?? He’s both confused and scared until he realizes that Sizhui had a nightmare. Then he gets extremely worried bc he has no experience in calming him down & did not know about this.

He eventually gets Sizhui to calm down, and afterwards Sizhui is definitely mortified, but they kinda cuddle for a while and A Ling asks Sizhui what he has nightmares about. These two probably have the most nightmares of the quartet.

I don’t hc Zizhen as someone who has nightmares frequently, but several near-death experiences/people you love possibly dying might do that. It’s usually about one of his many younger siblings or his friends dying. To which, he’ll wake up and immediately visit whoever he had the nightmare about. Usually, it works out bc he lives with his siblings, but there were a couple times he visited the Cloud Recesses or Carp Tower/Lotus Pier very early in the morning. Jin Ling is kinda used to it, but Jingyi & Sizhui were very worried the first time it happened.

Jingyi has nightmares more often then Zizhen, but less than the other two. It varies a lot, whether it be a satanic blue hedgehog staring him down or the entire Cloud Recesses being burnt down again. He has a lot of crack-nightmare dreams, like being late to class and having to write the rules 100 times. 

The worst ones are the ones where lqr has enough of his bs and kicks him out of the sect. not gonna give ljy sad mom issues today though.

he usually goes to one of his friends for comfort, or just to spill whatever happened in his crazy dream. jl, depending on the seriousness, will either stare at him like he’s insane or awkwardly pat his back for a bit. oyzz comforts him either way, and lsz will either laugh or hug him.
