[ He is mad, but not at Wei Ying. ]

[sadflutenoises]

[billowing]

[ Only two? What did they put in this liquor? ]

Stay there, I am coming to get you.

[sadflutenoises]

COMe havve one!

action

[billowing]

Wei Ying?

[ He's going around the bar area, grabbing everyone by the shoulder to check inside little groups. ]

[sadflutenoises]

[Once in the rave area, he's not hard to spot. Holding another drink in one hand and chasing the dancing lights like a cat drawn to a laser pointer. It takes him a minute to spot Lan Zhan though, luckily all that white is like a beacon under black lights.]

Lan Zhan! I saved you a' drink!

[billowing]

[ He takes the drink and hands it to the nearest next person. ]

I don't drink.

Are you ready to go home?

[sadflutenoises]

[He watches the drink go, a small 'o' of surprise as it leaves his hand and goes to another. If Lan Zhan wasn't going to drink it, he could've easily helped!]

Not even here? We're so far from Cloud Recesses Lan Zhaaaan.

[His words slur together and he puts on a pout.]

What if I'm not?

[billowing]

Then I will carry you upstairs.

[ And that would be truly embarrassing, so naturally the only solution is to come quietly. ]

[sadflutenoises]

[He takes a moment to consider the implications. That Lan Zhan might actually try to carry him bodily from the rave. But his dulled mind dismisses the thought just as easily. It's an empty threat, certainly!]

You'd have to catch me first, Lan Zhan.

[He gives mischievous grin before taking off, into the chaos of the dance floor.]

[billowing]

[ Lan Wangji honestly hates touching strangers, that hadn't been a lie. And so when he moves through the crowd, and gets batted back and forth like a boat on choppy waves by sweaty dancers, he takes a deep breath and tries to calm down.

He has almost reached Wei Ying when he bumps into apparently the wrong woman, whose drunk boyfriend is now yelling at Lan Wangji for hitting on his girl, to Lan Wangji's cold and stony expression.

He looks around desperately for Wei Ying. ]

[sadflutenoises]

[The crowd seems to be enough to have slowed Lan Wangji, which is all the head start he needs. He's an expert in weaving through crowds and bustling markets, though he might weave unsteadily from time to time.

He pops his head up just in time to see Lan Zhan in the middle of an altercation with some other dancers. He gives a grin and a wave before ducking back down, and making a beeline for the bar counter. Just a couple drinks and already this unsteady? He really ought to have one more, just for the sake of his reputation.]

[billowing]

[ Lan Wangji tries to excuse himself, but it's very unsuccessful. He eventually makes his way over, past several very drunk people and one who keeps trying to dance with him. ]

Wei Ying.

[ He takes Wei Ying by the sleeve. ]

Come back.

[sadflutenoises]

[He's almost made it to the counter to grab another drink, when something tugs his sleeve, and there's Lan Zhan, practically glowing against the black lights. He doesn't resist, but he doesn't come quietly either.]

It's still early! One more drink, at least!

[billowing]

Only one.

[ He'll wait. ]

[sadflutenoises]

[His grin only grows wider at that, and he lets Lan Zhan stick to his sleeve if he likes, as he grabs another from the bar. He raises it once before downing the drink messily, half-missing his mouth and ending up on the floor.]

Sure you don't want one?

[billowing]

I am sure.

[ He keeps tugging. ]

You are done. Let's go.

[sadflutenoises]

I'm done, I'm done!

[He sets the glass down, putting his hands up in surrender and following a few steps before it dawns on him...]

Carry me!

[billowing]

...

[ Lan Wangji bends down and lifts Wei Ying into a bridal carry. ]

Did you find anything new at the party?

[sadflutenoises]

[He was expecting to get dragged or thrown over a shoulder, so when his feet are swept out from under him, the floor tilts, and he can't help a startled whoop and bit of flailing before he hooks an arm around Lan Zhan's neck.]

Aaaah! You don't have to- like this- aah, you and the other Lan Zhan, I look away for a minute and you're strong enough to carry me around like an infant!

[He was a full grown man, why did they both have to pick him up like this? Hadn't they ever heard of piggyback?]

[billowing]

[ He walks smoothly, calmly like a stream. Wait, is being carried piggyback less embarrassing? He could've just said that. ]

....The other Wangji carried you like this?

[ Of all the things that he decided to focus on amirite ]

[sadflutenoises]

[That last drink is just starting to kick in and he is gone, leaning heavily on Lan Zhan's shoulder now, making himself comfortable as he looks up with slightly glassy eyes and a sheepish grin.]

Just the same! When I was crying from some bad tea. Baaaad tea.

[He sniffs, wrinkling his nose at the thought of that first treacherous drink.]

Lan Zhan! He said you... he carried trees and big rocks around Cloud Recesses to get strong. I thought... I thought he's so different from the Lan Zhan I know, huh!
