Being embraced like this, treated as something precious, it's- it's still something he's getting used to. His past life was full of people who wanted him dead, and from the sound of things back home, it was still true in this life as well. Love was just a hassle, so long as he had family. But that had crumbled, in the end; his family was gone, or so full of vitriol they were glad to see him dead. He was weak to these soft gestures, when the world around him had been so hard.

He'd be lying if he said he didn't like being kissed by Lan Wangji. No matter what world, the man was all wild passion hiding behind that cool exterior. It's hard to find complex meaning beyond that, beyond what his body wants and soul yearns for. It's always been Lan Wangji. And if they have to stoop so low as to make rules, like his soul-twin had with his own Lan Zhan, well, Wei Wuxian could respect some rules.

"I just... didn't know what to think. I wouldn't hate Lan Zhan. I guess, what I've been trying to think through and trying to say is- I care about you very much, love, worry about, whatever it's worth, whatever it needs to mean. Lan Zhan will always be my soulmate, I just- I didn't think it would still be true across other worlds."

He manages to wipe his face off, scrubbing away any remnants of red rimmed eyes before facing Lan Wangji, "I'm glad, even to have a part of Lan Zhan for my own."
