#DarkLanZhan #Day1 “take him back, hide him away”
Cw/ mpreg

When WWX studied at Gusu university he never thought that he would become LWJ’s best friend. The first time he saw LWJ was on their very first day at Gusu, when he arrived to their shared room at the dorms, with

A bottle of wine in one hand and the keys at the other. The first thing LWJ said to him was that he was late, curfew already began half an hour ago and alcohol was prohibited. WWX was so lucky that his roommate was the nephew of the most strict professor of the whole university.

As time passed WWX considered to be LZ best (and only) friend. They studied together, ate together and took most of their classes together. WWX adores how he could eventually read LZ’s expressions while the other people only saw the stoic façade.

There were times when LZ would act weird, especially when he talked about when Madam Yu was so mad at him that he had to pass the night at NHS’ house, or that time when he told the story of how he once had to fake that his leg wasn’t broken after he fall from the stairs.

He just didn’t want to be a burden to the Jiangs. When LZ met his brother describing the reunion as a “mess” was very much sugar coated. His brother had a bad day and answered, in LZ’s words, “in a very rude way”. So no, LZ didn’t like his brother.

His sister was another story, LZ appreciated JYL’s affection and care packages that sent him, he even asked for his favourite soup recipe and replicated it to perfection, he wished he could see his sister more, but ever since she married and moved out overseas it wasn’t the same.

As the university years passed, WWX had the fortune of being LZ’s roommate during their whole time there, they truly defied the odds with that! He also was informed that LZ’s family was the founder family of the university and that they were very respected in the country.

But it didn’t matter as LZ was the best. They were so close that they almost could read each other’s minds. But when WY went back to Yunmeng after graduation he felt empty, he didn’t realise how much he relied on LZ, how weird it was not having his constant presence by his side.

When madam Yu finally threw him out if the Jiang household a month after graduation he found a job that allowed him to rent a small apartment that wasn’t THAT bad, even if LZ thought it was ridiculously small and ugly, he didn’t said it but WY saw it even through video call.

But then weird things started to happen in his apartment. He had sudden power downs, not even on the block, just his apartment. The water was cut off most of time, the locks weren’t working, he even almost got electrocuted once.

The last straw was that when he got sick as the windows didn’t stayed closed through the night, his apartment flooded during a heavy rain. He could only videocall LZ in that moment. When WWX saw LWJ’s face he started crying and explained the situation.

LZ was there with him in less than an hour. He made some calls and told WY that someone would come and clean everything, but the old sofa was surely ruined, among other things. LZ, being the nice man that he always is, offered his house while everything was fixed.

“Come back to Gusu with me” WWX was so tired of everything that he could only said yes. WWX didn’t thought that was the last time he would be in Yunmeng. WWX arrived LZ’s home to never move out. It was meant to be. When WY was about to go back to his apartment,

The night before there was a gas leak and the whole building burned to the ground. It was a blessing that no one was there. When WY was fired for not going to work the day after the flood, LQR surprisingly offered him a teacher assistant’s position at Gusu University.

As it was convenient for him to move definitely to Gusu, he started searching for an apartment there. It was kinda weird that all the calls he made asking about the apartment were already rented, or his appointment was cancelled at last minute.

Even if WWX didn’t want to bother LZ in his home, living with LZ made him felt comfortable, safe and so loved that he didn’t want it to end. The comforting presence was again by his side and he felt at peace. He wasn’t planning to kiss LZ while they were watching a movie.

But everything felt so good with LZ by his side that he just needed to do it. LZ kissed him back and everything was even better from then on. WWX desisted on moving out from LZ’s house at that moment, because living with his boyfriend was the best.

WWX was surprised when madam Yu and uncle Jiang died on that car accident, Jc was the only survivor. he tried to contact and be there for him JC didn’t answer his calls and cut out all contact with him.

The last time that he was able to contact JYL, she said that JC was moving in with her, and that she’s sorry that she can’t convince him to talk to him at the moment, but that he was getting better. JYL reaffirmed that they’re always going to be brothers,

That the both of them loved him a lot, and that they were going to be in touch again in no time. And even if their relationship was a bit stained, they did talk once in a while.

WWX and LWJ got married 3 months into their relationship. WWX was expecting the Lan heir by their first month of marriage. They were the happiest and it showed.

Epilogue:
Lwj watched his husband dressed up at their wedding reception when his brother approached to him.

“You did bring him back. I thought you were gonna hide him away”
LWJ just replied, “that’s not necessary anymore, he’s hidden from the ones that matter. The favour that I asked you is ready?”
“Car accident, after the baby is born”
“Good. JC needs to survive”
“On it brother.”
