He leans into the touch, his fingers curling around Huaisang's wrist briefly and when the kiss comes, he returns it, even if it's brief.

Then he moves to cleaning himself off with the sheet before starting to dress, pulling on his pants and first layer of robes, gaze darting to Huaisang as he does so.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[illicitly]

Impudence.

A side effect of friendship with Wei Wuxian, to be certain. When Huaisang had first arrived here, he'd been meek, easily discouraged, and cautious to the point of cowardice. Meeting and getting to know someone special has a way of changing people, inspiring them in a ways they never knew they needed. His crush on his friend may have faded but Huaisang still admires Wei Wuxian and looks to his lessons for guidance, even after he's gone.

What would Wei Wuxian do this situation? Talk.

So Huaisang strikes up a casual conversation with Jiang Cheng as he gets dressed, ignoring the supervisor blocking the door for the moment.

"Have you received any letters from Wei-xiong recently, A-Cheng? He sent me a painting he just finished not too long ago. i think he's bored without us to help keep him entertained."

Huaisang chuckles as if to lighten the tension in room. He rests his hand on Jiang Cheng's shoulder a moment.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[tanxiang]

Again Nie Huaisang speaks of Wei Wuxian. Again he drives home the point that Lan Wangji as well became caught up in such a shameful act.

It is all improper. A distraction from cultivation. If these two are here to learn from the Lan Sect, they must follow the rules. Lan Wangji must also follow the rules. Much to his own disgust, he has become too familiar with what can happen if one allows themselves too much indulgence.

His nails dig into his palms as he clenches his fists almost tight enough to cause bleeding.

"Silence. Do not touch. Dress."

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[inflexibility]

Huaisang may have spent too much time with Wei Wuxian before he'd left but at the moment, it was something to focus on that didn't involve the feeling of wanting to sink into the floor as he dressed. "He..um..doesn't really write me much.I think he knows you'll be more receptive to his rambling. But it doesn't surprise me."

His fingers fumble for a moment at the touch, breath catching as his eyes meet Huaisang's.

"...I.." He takes a breath. "What else did he say?"

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[illicitly]

Huaisang hesitates before answering, looking to Lan Wangji for a long moment. As merciless as his temper can be, he's not an unkind person. He's not someone who delights in unnecessary cruelty toward others or takes sadistic pleasure in their suffering unless he's been given specific reason to. He's been told not to speak and truth be told, he doesn't really know Lan Wangji all that well just from what he's observed of the other boy and everything Wei Wuxian has told him about him.

Jiang Cheng needs the distraction right now so he continues to speak quietly as he pulls on his robe, further impudence but necessary he thinks.

"Oh, it was just the usual. 'Lan Zhan, this, Lan Zhan, that...' You know how he gets. He's been wanting to know about him, how he's doing, what he's been up to... If he's seeing any girls... You know, that type of thing."

Of course, Wei Wuxian's letters hold a lot more than just that, too, but that's all Huaisang's willing to disclose right now. He finishes getting dressed and waits for Jiang Cheng to do the same. Then he simply takes the other boy's hand and holds it.

No matter what happens now, they're in it together. Jiang Cheng won't have to deal with the fallout of this alone.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[tanxiang]

Lan Wangji tries to ignore the fact that Wei Wuxian was apparently still talking about him, enough to mention him in letters to others. He doesn't wish to think of him. Ideally, he wishes others would not even speak of him in his presence. The less he thinks of Wei Wuxian, the sooner his focus will return to cultivation as it should.

When the two hold hands, Lan Wangji's gaze immediately focuses in on the action.

"Let go."

That is all he says before he turns around and slides the door open again. He steps out and starts to make his way back towards the main area. Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang should know better than to not follow.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[inflexibility]

When he leaves, Jiang Cheng sways for a moment before sinking onto the bed, looking up at Huaisang, his expression just this side of terrified.

"..A-Sang.." Because this is the worst thing that could have happened and he can already hear his mother's voice.

"If they send word to my family..."

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[illicitly]

Huaisang sits down beside him, ignoring Lan Wangji's repeated insistences that they not touch. He puts his arms comfortingly around the other teen, resting his head against Jiang Cheng's. His fear cuts into him, it makes his heart ache in ways he didn't know it could. He can't see his own brother being particularly pleased if news of this got out. But Jiang Cheng's family is different. His parents are different. While he's confident that neither Wei Wuxian or his sister would mind, just from what he's heard about her.

"No matter what happens, you're not alone in this, A-Cheng. I'll do everything I can to support you through this."

Huaisang cups Jiang Cheng's face in his hands, turning it so he's facing him. He leans in a kisses him gently, lingering in the moment to steady him and give him something to focus on.

"If we contact your sister first.... Maybe she can help if it comes to that."

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[inflexibility]

He kisses him back, something desperate in the way he holds onto Huaisang, his fingers gripping the other teenager's robes as he tries to steady his breathing after the kiss.

Tries to act normal.

And fails miserably. "...A-jie might. I mean, if we can get word to her before they have a chance to contact Die, or A-niang." Please not his mother. She's the one he's most afraid of finding out. He already knows he's a disappointment to his father.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[illicitly]

It's... different. Huaisang doesn't usually feel this way about other people. He's quick to take whatever route is easiest or more covenient for him. It's not like him to put himself on the line like this or sincerely go out of his way on behalf of someone else.

It's just not like him to care.

He just gives himself up to that desperate embrace, holding Jiang Cheng close and giving him more kisses to calm him down. It'll be okay somehow. It just has to be. They'll make it okay, one way or another.

"We'll write your sister a letter and send it to her first thing in the morning. If we're quick enough, we might be able to beat them to it if they say anything at all. Or we could use teleportation talisman to get it to her tonight. You're a better cultivator than me. Can you use talismans like that, A-Cheng?"

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[inflexibility]

"I can try." He should be able to do it. Even if it just's for a letter. For some way to make this not turn into the disaster that keeps playing through his mind.

But even if it is, he's not going to walk away from it. He's just...He'll have to find a way to make it through without sacrificing everything he wants.

Or the boy holding him right now. Because he wants Huaisang in a way he's never wanted anything else before.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[illicitly]

"See? We're figuring something out. We're going to get through this."

What had started out as an impulsive kiss between friends has become something so much more so quickly. But isn't that how if often is with people their age? They act without thinking and it sets off a chain reaction they could never anticipate. But Huaisang knows that even if they get beaten by the Lan elders as punishment, he isn't going to regret any of this.

He's not ready to put a name to the feeling that's making his heart beat so rapidly in his chest but he knows it's there to stay.

"I... I really care about you, A-Cheng. I'm going to be there for you," he murmurs. "We'll try the talisman later. For now, though..."

His eyes slide reluctantly toward the door.

"Should we go after him or wait until someone arrives here? I'll be with you either way."

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[inflexibility]

"If they have to come get us, it'll be worse." But he can't stop himself from seeking another kiss before he finally moves to his feet, fingers curling around Huaisang's, squeezing them gently.

"...When we're done, i'll come check on you." Because of the two of them, he's probably the one more likely to be able to move first.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[illicitly]

After returning the kiss, Huaisang stands as well, taking a few deep breaths to steady himself. He doesn't like discomfort, much less pain, so he's really not looking forward to this. But Jiang Cheng's right. It'll probably be worse for them if they try to avoid what's about to happen. At least, it's a little easier to face the music together than alone.

He gives Jiang Cheng's hand one final squeeze before letting go and stepping outside the room, waiting over the other teen to join him. They'll have to be careful not to antagonize anyone any further from this point on ro have any hope of getting through this experience with minimal harm.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[inflexibility]

He at least doesn't deliberarely touch Huaisang once they leave the room, heading for the discipline area, while staying close enough that there might be accidental brushes of their hands as they walk.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[illicitly]

Even those accidental brushes are oddly reassuring. When they reach the discipline area, Huaisang doesn't say anything, he simply bows his head in a rather convincing display of shame and humility that sure as hell hadn't been anywhere close to being present in the bedroom.

Huaisang bows in contrition to the elders and simply waits for judgment.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[tanxiang]

Lan Wangji's gaze falls on them instantly, looking to their hands before anything else. His face has been schooled back into his normally-stern expression. Lan Qiren has a sour look on his face and turns between the pair and Lan Wangji before speaking.

"As you said, they came. Wangji, what is this about?"

"Improper conduct," he replies without missing a beat. His expression betrays nothing more or less.

It doesn't seem to be the answer Lan Qiren wants, his brow furrowing, and he turns back to Nie Huaisang and Jiang Cheng. "You two! Explain what this is about!"

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[illicitly]

"It's as Lan-xiong said. Improper conduct," Huaisang says evenly. "Unbecoming of a guest disciple of the Gusu Lan Sect."

He glances toward Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji in turn.

Given the sheer amount of sect rules and the varied antics they'd gotten into when Wei Wuxian had attended with them, that could be any number of things. The less they speak about specifics, the more they can obfuscate the matter and reduce the risk of Jiang Cheng's family learning about anything.

"I... I'm here to accept whatever punishment is necessary."

The sooner this goes away, the better for everyone involved, especially Jiang Cheng.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[inflexibility]

"I am as well." He manages finally, every ounce of control he has directed at not looking at Huaisang, because if he does, he might say something they'll both regret later.

And right now, he just needs this over.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[tanxiang]

Lan Qiren glares at both of them, beard twitching, before turning back to Lan Wangji. "Wangji, explain!"

"Improper conduct," he repeats, "worthy of punishment. They admitted."

As if he can't quite believe his ears Lan Qiren stares for another few seconds, expression only darkening. Finally realizing he's not going to get the answer he wants, he turns back to the two. "Fine! If you all insist, you two will be punished for unspecified improper conduct. Come here! Wangji, you are dismissed!"

Lan Wangji gives a proper bow of respect, and without so much as glancing towards Jiang Cheng or Nie Huaisang again, turns to leave.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[inflexibility]

After it's over, he's the one who all but carries Huaisang back to whichever of their rooms is closer, guiding him to the bed to let him settle before he sinks to the floor, leaning against the bed.

But he doesn't speak, not yet.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[illicitly]

Oh, Huaisang hurts all over. He's going to be feeling this beating for several days, at least. But it's a small price to pay for peace of mind. So long as they take care not to antagonize Lan Wangji too much they should be fine, he thinks.

Jiang Cheng should be fine.

A slight, pained smile curves his lips as he reaches over to weakly rest his hand on top of Jiang Cheng's head.

"It'll be all right now, I think," he says softly, closing his eyes as he gently strokes the other teen's hair. "Old Man Lan doesn't know anything and if Lan-xiong was going to tell him anything, he would've done so then. But it'd be best if we didn't push him too much, at least for a while."

Neither one of them are Wei Wuxian and Huaisang doubts anyone else could get away with it the way he had.

Re: belated CW for anyone stumbling across this, UNDERAGE SMUT WARNING

[inflexibility]

"...Maybe." But alright or not, he's not moving from this spot, his head on his arms on the bed, eyes closed as he tries not to move too much.

"I'll go back to my room in the morning if I can move..."

[illicitly]

"If you think you can get up here, I'll make room for you. As long as we're clothed, it should be fine."

After that beating, Huaisang's too sore to do anything but cuddle very carefully. He's more worried about how much pain Jiang Cheng will be in when he wakes up if he tries to sleep in that position. Weakly, he runs his fingers through the other teen's hair.

[inflexibility]

The idea of trying to move again is honestly the last thing he wants to do, but he does get himself onto the bed, settling on his stomach because it's the least painful part of his body right now.

"...Chances of either of us being able to move tomorrow?"
