Lan Zhan isn't angry so much. If anything, he's excited that he finally caught his prey, his golden eyes sparkled with delight. For some reason, his heartbeat beats faster at the sight of him. He never has seen a fox up close. He found his prey to be beautiful from the bright fur and bright eyes, and the pale skin, a fine face, and cute tail. He made up his mind that he wants him.

"I'm not buying that. You're going to eat it, that you are. As for me, being a kidnapper? We'll see about that. You have to answer to our laws and pay for your crimes. It's petty and you're a petty thief."

Lan Zhan circles around him, seeing him struggling for a bit longer in his net. "I'm not going to eat you. But I will cut the net and you're coming with me to my village. Now hold still you scrawny fox. I'll let you out."

Using his claws and brute strength, he cut the rope to lower the net to the ground and rips open the net to set him free. Before Wei Ying could have a chance to make a sprint and run for it to make his escape, Lan Zhan caught him by the scruff of his neck.

"You're mine! You're not getting away." As for the cooked chicken, it remains untouched.

Wei Ying yelps as he’s lowered, and yelps again as he’s seized by his neck when he tries to make a run for it.

“You are so mean! Laying traps for foxes!! Taking them prisoner!!!”

He struggles in earnest, trying to wiggle free and then trying to pry the dragon’s arm away, but it doesn’t work at all. This dragon is too strong.

Trying a new tactic, Wei Ying pouts at him, going limp in the dragon’s grip and gazing up at him with the most tragic and pleading puppy-dog eyes he can manage. His soft black ears flatten to either side of his head.

At his pleadings for mercy, he realized he was too harsh with him and that he's scaring him and terrifying him with his bravado from before. He lessens his grip on his neck and resorts to petting him between the ears and rubbing his back to get him to calm down, and that the dragon meant him no harm and for a moment, his temper gotten the best of him and remembers his real role.

"Please, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you or eat you. I put hours in cooking that chicken. If you want a bite to eat, cooperate and I'll let you go. Let's eat together and be friends. We dragons are protectors of every living thing in the forest, and if I caught you, then I must protect you too. You maybe a thief, but you're very hungry, aren't you? My job is to keep peace and balance for all creatures."

Just to prove his intentions, Lan Zhan goes over to pick up chicken and offers it to him. "Here. Please take it and have it. No one is going to eat it. It's for you. I cooked it for you." At that, he lowers him down and lets him go and place the chicken in his hands.

Wei Ying is surprised by the touches to his back and hair, but he doesn’t try to resist. They’re gentle touches, not kicks, and when the dragon insists that he’s allowed to eat the chicken, Wei Ying gives him a bright smile.

He eats hungrily, greedily tearing pieces from the chicken and devouring it. Happy to have well-cooked food, he makes little groans of pleasure as he eats, licking his fingers shamelessly. The seasoning is not very spicy, but it’s still the best chicken Wei Ying has eaten in years.

“Okay, Gege,” he agrees, giving him another bright, cheerful smile. “We can be friends. You’re a good cook.”

Lan Zhan is delighted and smiles with pleasure. His fox has pointy soft velvet ears, bright eyes, and a cute tail. Gentle touches to his ears as he strokes through his raven locks of long black hair.

Seeing his cooking is appreciated. "Mm, do you like it? It's a homemade recipe." He strokes his ears again and then sits next to him, calmer now, with his hands pressed on his lap.

"I am prince Lan Wangji. You can call me Lan Zhan. All of these forests belong to me. Besides my brother and uncle, I ruled this part of Gusu and you are one of my subjects. Now that I found you, I should punish you for your crimes, but you were stealing because you're hungry and you don't have a home do you?"

Wei Ying is initially uncertain about these touches, and keeps his ears flattened warily, but as he eats and the touches continue, he decides that they’re kind of nice. Relaxing against Lan Zhan’s side as he eats, he enjoys this nice turn of events.

“I have a home.” He yawns tiredly once he finishes eating, feeling very full. There is nothing left but bones, and Wei Ying makes pleased noises as he licks the spices and fat from his fingers. “It’s a nice cave that isn’t too damp.”

Sleepy, he rests his head on Lan Zhan’s thigh, ready to nap now that he’s been fed.

Lan Zhan continues his scritches as Wei Ying rest his head on his lap. He feels the simple pleasure of watching someone enjoys a meal that he cooks himself by hand. He put a lot work in it and seeing the fox likes it.

"Cave. I know all the caves in my territory. Well, if you call it your home, it's yours now."

Seeing he's sleepy and taking a nap, the dragon sat enjoying the afternoon. It was then he noticed clouds begin to gather and he knew it will be raining soon.

So ever so carefully, he scoops up his fox in his arms to carry him, holding close to his chest as the rain falls from the sky.

"It's going to rain soon. Come to my house while it rains. Stay with me for a while."

Wei Wuxian dozes contentedly, belly full and enjoying the petting. He doesn’t think too much about anything, even though this is very new to him. He has food and a soft pillow for his head! What else matters?

Woken as Lan Zhan picks him up, he is initially startled but quickly accepts this. Hugging his arms gently around Lan Zhan’s neck, he rests his sleepy head on his shoulder. “I am Wei Ying. Called Wei Wuxian.”

Pleased by this surprising turn of events, he nuzzles at Lan Zhan. His dragon is warm and strong, and he makes tasty food. “I’m glad we’re friends. I will stay with you, Lan Zhan Gege.”

"Is that your name? Wei Ying." He said his name softly like a song.

His fox is a light-weight in his arms, but very soft, very warm. Compare to his muscular frame and strength in his arms. He must be very gentle with him.

The rain started to pour from the sky. He quickens his pace as raindrops splashed to the earth, heading toward his nice warm house. Sliding open the door, he lay his fox a nice warm bed and brings out a towel to dry his ears and hair.

"Gege? You only call that to someone who is close to you." He teased. He picked up and took a flirty fox home. Meanwhile, using the towel to dry his fine face.

"You can stay here for a while until the rain passes."

Wei Ying whined when the rain started. He clung harder to Lan Zhan and curled up tight into himself, trying to use Lan Zhan as a shield against the rain.

Soon enough, they're inside a cozy and elegant house, and he's settled on the most comfortable bed he's ever slept on. He pulls some of the blankets over his lap for warmth, sitting obediently as Lan Zhan wiped his face dry. He was dirty from living in the woods, but he hadn't really noticed it until now, as he was sitting in Lan Zhan's clean white rooms.

"You are close to me! You said you wanted to be friends. There's no backing out now. We're friends, gege. You are a nice friend who cooks chickens."

The sound of the spring rain pitter-patter on the roof as the rain comes down hard. Thankfully, Lan Zhan fixed the roof constantly so his house wouldn't be leaking and flooding.

Lan Zhan is very touched by the fox. He wondered if he could tame him? Lan Zhan even searched his closet to bring out a clean rabbit-shaped pillow to puff and tucked under his head to make him comfortable.

"Do you really mean that? If you like chickens alot, then I'll cook for you and you never have to steal again. I...I would like to be your friend too." He whispered. He doesn't mind how dirty he is, as he's falling for the fox's cute charms and just like that, he wanted to take care of him.

"You know, I have a bathroom. Would you like a shower? I bet if you do, you get all clean and your fur will get brighter too."

"I like chickens a lot!" Wei Ying agreed, enjoying how Lan Zhan spoiled him. He reached for Lan Zhan's dragon horns, much bolder now that Lan Zhan was his friend and caring for him so gently. "You're a good friend, gege."

Sitting up at the suggestion of a shower, he nods eagerly. "Yes, shower! Is the water hot?" He shifts into fox form so that he can wiggle out of his clothes without having to untie anything, though he will regret this later when it's much harder to get them back on. Hopping into Lan Zhan's lap, he jumped and wiggled eagerly.

"I have special sausages, ducks, pheasants, and eggs also if you like those. Eh...?" Lan Zhan halted and then leans over so Wei Ying can play with his antler-like horns. They're quite real and strong, gnarly like a tree-branch upon feeling them.

"Mn. The water can be hot depending on what lever you pull. I build a channel to my house so it's connected to a hot spring. Where we live, there's lot of natural hot springs in the mountains." Lan Zhan is surprised to see his charming fox form, he becomes amused and entranced. Just hours ago, he accused him of being a thief, but he turns out to be a sweet fox who melted his heart and becomes a friend of the forest.

Instinctively, Lan Zhan rubs his back. "Let me show you how to use it if you would like a shower now.""At that, Lan Zhan slowly rose up to full height.

"Yes! I want to eat all those things!" Wei Ying wiggles excitedly at the delicious foods mentioned.

Lan Zhan is so handsome, and he's very nice after all, despite the original kidnapping. Wei Ying likes him a lot. Standing up on his back paws and resting his front paws on Lan Zhan's shoulder, he licks at his face, giving him sweet fox kisses out of happy affection.

"Ah!" Wei Ying wiggles a little more as he's lifted. He looks down at the ground, curious. "So far up."

Relaxing in Lan Zhan's arms, Wei Ying enjoys this royal treatment.

"Mn. There's plenty to share. Let me think of what we shall have for dinner later." Since the fox did ask nicely, being prince of the forest, he must be generous to share his abundance with his subjects.

Lan Zhan is surprised to receive such sweet affection. This never happen to him before. He chuckled with delight and pleasure with his friend that the dragon prince is pleased he is happy with him. "Ah, what a sweet handsome fox you are. Let's clean you up."

Picking up the fox in his arms, he heads over to the bathroom. There's a wooden tub a wooden chair, wooden buckets and wooden ladles. Lan Zhan removes his robes and rolled up his sleeves and pushes down the bamboo lever, so the hot steaming water fills up the wooden tub quickly and Lan Zhan's pulls up a chair to sit on besides the tub.

In which, Lan Zhan lowers him to the ground. "All right. It seems you're undressed already, so go ahead and hop right inside. The water is nice and hot."

Wei Ying transforms back as soon as he's set down, careless about his own nudity. He has no shame, and also no idea that he might be desirable. Skin is just skin, and clothes are for warmth and protection. Why worry about nudity?

He steps into the bathtub, moaning a little at the warmth of it and immediately submerging so that he can enjoy the warmth cradling his entire body. He laughs as he comes up dripping, lounging contentedly in the tub. "So warm."

Lan Zhan has seen a fair amount of nudity from his fellow clan members when there are days they have to share the waterfall for their bath, so it doesn't bother him. The bathtub is quite big, big enough to fit a dragon of his height, so there's a lot of room to wiggle around and swim. He marveled at the fox's beauty and his smooth, pale skin.

With his sleeves rolled up, Lan Zhan finds the simple joy and pleasure in getting his fox cleaned up. "All right, let's make you feel better." Grabbing a bar of soap, he lather's up his hands and then hands the fox soap. "Here, this is soap, so you rub around your hands to make bubbles and wash yourself with it. It helps get the dirt off. I'll wash your back and then I'll help wash your hair."

At that, Lan Zhan massages his back, scrubbing gently with the soap to get him cleaned up. Playfully, he even cupped his face, massaging gently around the temples. Lan Zhan's hands are big and strong as he touches him to wash him.

Wei Ying accepts the soap, but he doesn't do anything useful with it, just playing with the bubbles that appear.

Turning his back to be washed, he moans with pleasure at the caresses, shamelessly enjoying it and leaning into the touch. He closes his eyes as Lan Zhan cares for his face, making pleased little noises. His friend is very good to him, and he likes these touches very much.

"Lan Zhan," he says, sing-song, not for any purpose other than to enjoy saying his name and to draw Lan Zhan's attention. His bright eyes shine as he smiles up at his dragon friend.

Lan Zhan laughs softly, "That's not how you use it. Here, let me show you." He reaches over to teach him how to lather using the bar of soap. "Now you have a lot of bubbles, try to wash your arms."

With back washed, his hair is next. Wei Ying's hair is dirty and matted. "Wei Ying, your hair is so tangled. Perhaps, we can fix this." Squirting out the bottles of shampoo and conditioner, Lan Zhan digs his fingers into his hair and scalp, minding his strength so it wouldn't hurt, being gentle as he could to give him a deep clean.

"You'll be a handsome fox in no time." He murmured and even starts humming a song, enjoying the simple pleasure of cleaning up his fox. After a while, he scoops up water to gentle rinse at him, scrubbing whatever dirt Wei Ying collected in the wild and living in the cave.

Wei Ying obediently used the soap to wash his arms and legs as he enjoyed Lan Zhan cleaning his hair. "I am already a handsome fox!" he argues, then winces his eyes shut as Lan Zhan scrubs at him.

His hair is especially dirty, and he whines a little at the scrubbing, but Lan Zhan is gentle, so he doesn't mind so much.

Washing between his legs last, Wei Ying blushes a little as he does it, but then he's clean and he rests his arms on the side of the tub and watches Lan Zhan with a little pout, waiting for his friend to be done cleaning his hair.

Lan Zhan found this fox too adorable as he finds the simple pleasure of beginning to care for him. He might be flirting with him a bit, opening up more to him. The rumors of this lovely creature is untrue. But then again, being a dragon, he's the strongest creature in the forest. He finally figures out the fox is completely innocent of any crime.

"You are. And a handsome thief too."

Some more scrubbing continues until at last, he's all clean, then scooping up water to clean and rinse his hair. Lan Zhan picks up a towel to dry ruffle into his hair to dry.

"Here, a towel for you to dry. You're all done. You look better now. I can see the color of your fur too. Come on out."

Wei Wuxian gives him a big grin as he gets out and works on drying himself. His dragon friend is nice to him, and it feels good to be clean. "I feel better now, Lan Zhan. Full and clean."

His clothes are filthy, so he doesn't bother getting dressed. Returning to the main room, he curls up naked in that warm, soft bed again, pulling the covers up to get cozy. "And now warm."

It was the dragon's personal bed he's curling up on! No one gets to sleep on it. It was strictly forbidden to share a bed.

"..." But Lan Zhan hasn't said a single word about it when he climbs on his bed. Instead, Lan Zhan went to one of the drawers to search for a spare robe. "Hm, this one is too big." Turning to Wei Ying, "Stay there." He then went to search his house until he found a robe, all white with pale blues to fit his size. This robe is usually given to a junior.

When he approach his fox on the bed, he sits on the beside. He scratches his ears and tickles the back of his neck.

"Wei Ying." He said softly, almost a coo. "Wei Ying, you can't sleep like that. Here, wear this." He lays the robe at the bedside to help his fox get dressed properly.

Wei Ying grumbles at this nonsense about wearing clothes, but he appreciates the scratches to his ears and neck, whining and squirming as Lan Zhan touches him.

Sitting up, he sticks his tongue out briefly, but then he goes ahead and puts on the robe, belting it around his waist so that he's appropriately dressed.

But instead of returning under the covers, he climbs into Lan Zhan's lap. He likes his new friend and wants to enjoy all of the attention from him. Nestling close, Wei Ying puts his head on Lan Zhan's shoulder. "My dragon. You are warm."

If Lan Zhan allows him to run around nude in his house, then what would his brother and uncle think if they suddenly decide to visit? Once in awhile Lan Zhan does have visitors coming over for tea and discussions, but it's usually his family members or high ranking members of his sect.

"There, now you look better. How cute. You look like one of the juniors, my students that I teach." He praised and chuckled.

Only to be caught by surprise when he suddenly decides to jump on his lap and pressed against his shoulder. "Was it always cold where you live?" He pets his ears, gently rubbing. His long fingers stroke through his long locks of raven hair, and then gently massage his shoulder blades.

Wei Ying nodded, making little yearning noises as Lan Zhan petted his ears and hair, then started to massage at his shoulders. It all felt so good, and Wei Ying was getting very addicted to these touches. "Cave cold and wet. Much better here with my dragon."

Nuzzling affectionately at Lan Zhan, Wei Ying pressed a few soft, sweet kisses to the side of his throat. He was happy and warm and well-fed for the first time he could remember in his life, and it was all thanks to his dragon.

Lan Zhan closed his eyes. His soft lips and kisses are warm and sweet that it melts his temperament, appealing more to his tender side. He gently massages him, finding his frame fragile, so the dragon is minding his own strength.

"That sounds unpleasant. I never have someone stay with me before, let alone tame a fox."

Lan Zhan caressed the side of his cheek, tickling his chin. "Be careful." He murmured. "You maybe able to tame me. Once you tame me, I won't let you go back to that cave. I'll feed you and bathe you like this. Everyday perhaps." He said, tickling his belly.

"Every day," Wei Ying agrees, happy to be held and petted. "No cave. Warm food, dragon bed."

The tickling makes him laugh and he squirms in Lan Zhan's arms, keening softly because every touch makes him want even more touches. He whines a little in Lan Zhan's ear and then nips at his jawline. "Lan Zhaaan."

The dragon relaxes, finding comfort at the fox's gentle nips and kisses, not being used to such affection. "But isn't the cave your home? You may return back anytime if you wish."

And it is so, the following days have passed until it becomes weeks. The dragon grew fond of the fox he captured. Day by day, he felt tamed by him and desire to keep him close as much as possible. He fed him good meals of sweet fruits and meats and even obtained milk from the Gusu's cows from the nearby farmers to fill him up, making his fox lean and strong. He shared his bed to keep him warm, washed him and bathed him in the dragon's bath of clean water from the springs.

In return, he shows him and taught him his secrets. The forests and mountains, how vast it is, and how much of the region he controls and shared. "This entire region of Gusu, this forest is my kingdom. My family rule all of it. The trees and flowers are my true treasures." In his past time, he lends him a brush and gives him a parchment of paper to teach him how to draw and write complex characters in calligraphy in his language by the letter. "Knowledge and wisdom is the true gem of Gusu."

For the dragon, it's a simple pleasure to show and share his knowledge. Though he remind him that he is free to come and go as he pleased, back to his cave.

So one evening, during a lesson, "Wei Ying, I'm very fond of you. You may come and go as you please. If you remember to visit me. You're my friend." Though he tried his best to hide his feelings with his serious expression that he becomes enamored with him as a cherished pet who keeps his bed warm. "You're healthy. Look now how your fur shines. Such a handsome fox. But it's better when you are free." He said with some guilt as he wished to educate the fox that his free will truly matters and he is not a subject of the dragon, but his friend.

The next weeks are the happiest of Wei Ying's life. He's warm and well-fed all the time, constantly in the company of his gentle dragon friend. The lessons are not as desirable to him, but he learns very quickly, mastering everything he's taught and constantly wanting to know what they're going to learn next rather than focusing on what they're currently learning.

It's a surprise to him when Lan Zhan starts talking about how he should go away but sometimes visit him, and how he should be free.

Confused, Wei Ying sets down his brush, staring at his friend with hurt bewilderment. "You... want me to go?"

Lan Zhan shook his head once. He found himself distracted by him that writing in his journal to record the day becomes less interesting. If anything, he begins to feel an uncomfortable heat coiling in his belly.

He laid his brush down. "No, no. If you want to stay, you can. I want you to stay. I'm very fond of you. But if you stay longer. You can make yourself at home."

Lan Zhan is trying to resist. There are days when Wei Ying smells so good and so warm. He reaches and gently stroke his cheek and chin, toying with a stray lock of his raven bangs, staring at his lips.

To bring up the subject. "Wei Ying, do you know there are days that you smell really good?"

"I want to stay," Wei Ying insists. He's glad when Lan Zhan starts touching him and paying attention to him. Being in Lan Zhan's company is good, but Lan Zhan touching him and focusing on him is the best thing. He immediately moves to climb into Lan Zhan's lap, cuddling. He loves cuddling, and Lan Zhan is always warm and strong, making him feel safe. "If I can be anywhere, I want to be here. You're my dragon. Don't say I have to go."

Kissing at Lan Zhan's cheek, he whines a little to persuade him.

"Don't I always smell good?" He sniffs at himself, wondering if there's some problem he's supposed to fix.

Lan Zhan closed his eyes from the kiss and look into his eyes. "You don't have to go. I was worried if you're happy here." He admits. "The cave is cold and lonely especially during winter time. Foxes don't hibernate like my kind. They have to hunt."

Except it's Spring now. It's getting warmer. The flower trees outside of Lan Zhan's house in his garden begin to bloom, heralding a new season. Lan Zhan wanted him to stay because there many things he wanted to plant and Wei Ying can help him with the garden in his backyard.

"You smell really good. If you stay, I'll find you irresistible." Lan Zhan deeply inhale his scent and starts planting kisses along his jawline and badly wanted to nip his ears.

"It's spring time. You're lovely like the flowers I grow. Maybe I need your help with my garden. So..." He kisses his lips, chaste and ghosting over, finding his lips soft and warm. "So be my mate...?"

Wei Ying made a keening little noise as Lan Zhan kissed along his jaw, breath tickling at his skin. "Lan Zhan." He hugged tighter to him, liking that now they're talking about him staying. He didn't want to be sent away from his dragon.

Keening at the kiss, Wei Ying licked at Lan Zhan's mouth in return. He nodded, even though that wasn't particularly helpful in terms of answer while they're kissing, and curled tighter around his dragon, possessive. His tail flicked rapidly behind him, lashing against Lan Zhan's legs. "Yes. You are a good mate for a fox. I want to stay."

How cute the noises his fox makes. All the more he wants to keep him forever as his mate and consort by his side. Lan Zhan is now certain he has allayed his fears by assuring that he always have a place in his home and there's no reason to send him away. Because there isn't any. The dark cave isn't missed after all. So, he'll give him a thousand reasons to don't go anywhere.

"Mm. Then stay here with me and be my love. You now have a place with me, by my side. Always."

His kisses become passionate. His fox's warm lips, soft and inviting. With his strength, he lifts him up from the writing desk to carry him over to his comfortable bed where he pins him down, demanding him to yield and submit. His golden eyes locked into his glazed with lust. He kisses him deeply and desperately yanks his robes off, taking care not to accidentally rip it.

"Then...don't go anywhere, my dear fox." He whispered, sweet and low. "Like the sun itself and you're the moon, I'll follow you and shine a light."

His kisses become hungrier as he captures his mouth, tongues twirling inside. To mount him and mate with him becomes a need. His body becomes warmer, hotter, heart racing with love for him and the heat in his belly pool to his loins, cock twitching to life.

Wei Ying makes a happy sound as he's kissed properly, with such yearning sweetness. He wriggles in Lan Zhan's arms, returning the kisses eagerly.

Lighting up as he's lifted, Wei Ying wraps his legs around Lan Zhan's waist, studying his face with open hunger. His dragon, who loves him, who wants to kiss him. "Lan Zhan," he chirps happily as he's pinned down, smile only widening with trust at the fierce way that Lan Zhan looks at him.

Kissed again, Wei Ying moans, lifting his hips toward Lan Zhan without really knowing what his body is seeking.

The removal of his robes confuses him a little, but it's true that he always prefers nudity. Eager to help, he tugs at Lan Zhan's robes in return, helping to get them both naked as soon as possible. "My dragon. My love. Stay with you forever."

Groaning into the kisses, Wei Ying wriggles beneath him, impatient for more stimulation and attention. "Lan Zhan," he breathes between each kiss, smiles wide and happy. "Lan Zhan."

“Yes, please. Stay with me.” Lan Zhan started feeling him slowly, being gentle and sweet with him. Each time Wei Ying says his name, it earns him a kiss. A kiss on his cheek, on his neck, and on his lips eagerly. It’s better with the both of them naked with skin to skin contact, craving for the body warmth of his fox, touching his body with gentle caresses of his hands, finding his skin cool and smooth to touch, but that will warm the both of them soon.

It’s cute that Wei Ying desperately grinds against him. His cock slowly stirs to life, hot, hard, and erect. He strokes his ears and hair.

“Impatient.” His kisses become teasing licks, licking at him wickedly as he goes lower. Looking up at him, his tongue playfully flicks at one of his perk nipples while pinching the other to make him more sensitive and receptive to his touch. "But don't hold back, my mate. Tell me if it feels good."
