What their drunk confessions would be like(PT2)
A/N: Second part! Hope you like!
Unlike Lan Xichen, Jiang Cheng would be drunk on purpose.
Knowing this grumpy sect leader, it would just be because he’d had an exceptionally hard day
Jin Ling had thrown a fit, the sect was hard to lead and he was generally in a bad mood
When Jiang Cheng got drunk, he would either become even angrier or kinda sad
He started reminiscing on times he’d spent surrounded by his loved ones, by Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli, with his parents
And then he thought of how twisted and old he’d become, so weighed down by pain
Deep down through all that sadness, he really just wanted to feel loved again
He’d met you in cloud recesses when they’d gone for lectures
You were one of the top disciples of the C/N clan
He’d admired you from afar as you’d become great friends with his sister
You’d eaten dinner with them, and spent most of your time at the lectures with Yanli
She would always say that you were like a sister to her
So it would only make sense that you stuck with her through sunshot campaign
She made you Jin Ling’s godmother
Which meant that you stuck with Jiang Cheng when he took Jin Ling to Lotus Pier
He tried to make you leave many times, since you were a sore reminder of his sister
But you knew he needed you
I mean, this is Jiang Cheng
How is he gonna raise a kid on his own?
And so over the years you’d grown a bond
And he’d fallen in love with you
After all, you were the only one still by his side
The only one who showed care to him
He needed to talk to you, he decided
So he left his office to find you
He asked many servants where you were before finally finding you
You were exiting Jin Ling’s quarters after having put him to bed
Jiang Cheng bumped right into you as you were gently trying to close the door, causing you to slam it
You whirled around in surprise and was about to scold him, until you saw the tears on his cheeks
You were about to ask him what was wrong, but before you could say anything he had you pinned against the wall
And his lips where on yours, sloppily kissing you
You could taste the liquor on this breath, but you were to caught in the kiss to really notice
“Y/N…” he whispered, leaning down to wrap his arms around you, in a sort of hug
But because he was so tall, he kinda crushed you against the wall
It was uncomfortable, but you hugged him back
“A-Cheng,” You whispered, confused and slightly worried
Clan Leader Jiang was not known to cry very often, if at all, so your worry was justified
“Y/N,” He said, so low you barely heard it, from right next to him
Leaving you to carry him to his room
It took you forever, but you finally got him in the bed, and tucked him in
And then you sat next to him, to process this new information
Could it be possible? You’d always felt like you were closer than just friends, but you’d always thought the feeling was one sided
And maybe it was just the alcohol talking
You decided to wait until tomorrow, and if he remembered, then you would confront him about it
The next morning you got up early to check up on him
You knew how wicked hangovers could be, so you made him tea and brought it to his office
And just as you supposed, he had a terrible headache and was in an exceptionally bad mood
But as soon as he saw you, he went silent, sparing the disciple he’d angrily been shouting at
You dismissed said disciple as you put the tea on his desk
Then you chanced to look at him
His face was very red as he avoided your gaze
Which was good, because so did you
“A-Cheng, we need to talk”
His head snapped up to look at you
He looked afraid, and very embarrassed
“What you told me yesterday. Did you mean it?”
He looked back at you annoyingly
“I dont know what you are talking about. I was drunk.”
For all the years you’d know him, Jiang Cheng had never been a good liar
“A-Cheng… Did you mean it? Please I really must know.”
You sounded more desperate than you wanted too, but you just wanted to know
It was no more than a whisper, but it was all you needed
You closed the distance between you and kissed him passionately on the lips
He was surprised at first, but quickly reciprocated, kissing you back with as much passion as last night
When you pulled apart, you couldn’t help but laugh at him, face as red as a tomato and looking as shocked as you’d ever seen him look
