Wei Wuxian props himself up on his elbows as Lan Zhan moves lower, trailing sweet, teasing kisses over his belly and hips. He still doesn't believe this is real and doesn't feel it's right to accept it, but he can't refuse or hurt Lan Zhan any more than he already has.

"I'll only disappoint you," he warns, still trying to get Lan Zhan to let go of this certainty of his, this faith that Wei Wuxian is someone worth loving. It cannot be true, and Wei Wuxian does not want to betray Lan Zhan by letting him pursue a lie.
