thinking about an au where lwj and a-yuan’s first big disagreement is over who gets the first kiss good-morning from wwx.
wwx can tell something is wrong when he walks in and lwj and a-yuan are just sat in a silent staring contest, breakfast left untouched
“you should eat, baba.” a-yuan says, smiling in a way that is eerily similar to lxc.
lwj’s lip twitches minutely.
“a-yuan should eat first. he is a growing boy.”
“all I need are mama’s kisses.”
wwx startles. lsz only calls him “mama” when he’s sulking
“mn. that is a shame, given that they are mine.”
“Lan Zhan!!!” wwx gasps, shocked. lwj turns to him, a guilty expression on his face at being caught
wwx pretends not to notice a-yuan stick his tongue out at lwj’s broad back
“wei ying.” lwj says, pushing his chair back from the table and standing up in one fluid motion. “good morning.”
he makes his way over to wwx quickly, almost in a rush.
he nearly makes it
“not so fast, baba.”
a-yuan stands in between him and lwj, hands on his hips in defiance.
he refuses to budge, even when his height only reaches lwj’s mid thigh
lwj frowns, attempting to sidestep a lsz who simply clings onto his leg.
“no, baba.” a-yuan chides, and wwx would laugh it he weren’t so gobsmacked.
his son and his husband having a fight… it was unheard of
a-yuan was too in awe of his father, & lwj was soft hearted putty in a-yuans chubby child hands.
they never fought. ever.
“Put me down please, baba. This is cheating.”
wwx couldn’t help but gasp when he saw lwj had placed a-yuan on his shoulders & subsequently away from wwx
when lwj pretends to have not heard, a-yuan takes matters into his own chubby hands. he squirms, beginning the descent down lwj’s shoulders with his small face set in determination.
lwj can only remain still for so long. when a-yuan he nearly falls, lwj is quick to swipe the child up, bringing him in close to his chest and pressing a firm kiss to the full head of hair.
“be careful, little one.” he murmurs, and a-yuan nods with wide eyes
wwx is puddle of goo at this point
lwj sets a-yuan carefully on his feet, and a-yuan patpats lwjs cheek gently in thanks, reaching up to take a hold of lwjs thumb and pull him over to wwx.
“baba can have the first kiss.” lsz says bravely, even though it sounds like it pains him to do so
“the first kiss..?” wwx is confused.
a-yuan and lwj turn to him, and the expressions on their faces are scarily similar.
“the first kiss good morning.” lwj explains, and a-yuan nods, adding on;
“The best part of the day.”
“Mn”
“you guys were having a fight because of that?” wwx asks, voice high in disbelief. “what, did you both want to be the first one I kiss?”
“Yes, sweetheart.”
“Exactly, mama.”
wwxs heart is about to implode. or explode. or maybe just stop
“you were having a fight because of this ??” wwx levels lwj with a stern look, hands on his hips “who is the three year old?”
“xianxian.”
“…”
okay. wwx will admit, he walked right into that one.
but still!
“Lan Zhan, I expected you to be more mature than this. Fighting your own son over me!? I mean I’m flattered that er-gege loves me so much, you’re so handsome when you’re like this Lan Zhan —
a-yuan coughs
“but still! you need to set a good example to your son, Lan Zhan! And it’s not like there’s not enough of me to go around!”
in sync, lwj’s and lsz’s expressions shuttered, muttering a single “we will not share.”
wwx — by now used to the typical lan possessiveness (lsz had inherited his fathers fierce protectiveness of wwx) — could only sigh, nodding benevolently.
“Yes, yes. I’m all yours, both of you.”
appeased, the glower lifted from the father-son duo’s faces
unable to resist teasing just a little bit more however, wwx playfully taps his chin, letting out a thoughtful sigh.
“Unless… i give little apple the first good morning kiss?”
a-yuan’s cheeks sag in dismay. lwjs grip tightens so much on the countertop it cracks
“Just kidding ! Ahahahaha!!!!” wwx clutches his belly, laughing. “But honestly, I can’t believe you two would fight about this.”
“It was not a fight.” lwj protests weakly.
“lying is forbidden, baba.”
anyways, wwx comes up with a solution to appease both his husband and son.
mornings now see a sleepy wwx stumbling out of the bedroom, oversized sleeves hanging over his fingers as he rubs at his eyes. (he wears lwjs clothes. of course)
he makes his way slowly to the kitchen where lwj and lsz await.
and is promptly engulfed into a two sided bear hug
well, lwj has to lift ayuan up otherwise he is too short to reach.
“good morning - ah! that tickles !” wwx’s squeals are a regular occurrence, as are lsz’s giggles and lwjs deep, satisfied chuckle
little apple watches sadly from the corner, bunny ears drooping.
until a-yuan comes and picks him up, carrying him with chubby hands over to his parents.
these are the best mornings, and wwx is glad lwj and lsz are no longer fighting over him.
until…
“I want the first kiss goodnight”

Being friends with wwx is undoubtedly the best thing that has happened to lwj in his entire life.
“A-Zhan you’re only six. Are you sure this is the best thing that will ever happen?”
“Mn.” lwj hums, “I am certain. The only thing that will beat this will be when I marry wy.”
“Marry…” Lan Xichen sounds faint, slumping back in his chair in a daze. He barely notices when an extra piece of tofu is placed in his bowl, Lan Wangji nodding sagely as if he were thirty six not six and a half.
The impressive effect was slightly hampered by the way Lan Wangji’s cheeks bounced with each firm nod, as springy as the mantou sitting in front of him.
