Congrats on the milestone! For the prompts for drabbles: 41 please?
Thank you so so much, and thank you for the prompt! Here is a little modern AU (still ft. courtesy names tho) Wangxian and Xuanli. I hope you enjoy! Prompt: “I’m not drunk enough for this.”
"Both your brothers are coming?" Jin Zixuan hoped that he had heard wrong. 
"Yes," Jiang Yanli smiled, that full real smile that showed her dimples. Jin Zixuan never stood a chance when she smiled like that. It made him fall in love all over again.
But it didn't mean he was going to be as excited as she was that her brothers would be over. He walked over to the couch and sat down. “I’m not drunk enough for this.”
"They're not that bad," Jiang Yanli said, and it was true. They were worse than "that bad." Jin Zixuan knew he wouldn't get any points for saying so, and sunk a little deeper into the couch. Maybe he could hide there until this was all over. "Will you help me make the food?"
So much for hiding. Jin Zixuan stood up and followed his fiance into the kitchen. He loved to cook with her, listening to her tell stories as she directed him to this task or that. Or whenever he found recipes he thought she'd like and her whole face would light up. It was easy to fall into a comforting rhythm of making food together at the end of a long day.
After washing his hands and beginning to work on preparing the vegetables, Jin Zixuan asked, "When are they supposed to be here?"
"They're coming for dinner around six, but you know how they are," Jiang Yanli said as she began her own prep.
"Jiang Cheng will be here exactly at six, and Wei Wuxian will be here fifteen to thirty minutes later?" 
"Precisely."
Jin Zixuan shook his head. "Did you tell Wei Wuxian he should be here at 5:30?"
"Maybe," Jiang Yanli chuckled. "Oh that reminds me, he's bringing someone."
"His roommate?" Jin Zixuan guessed. "Have they figured out they're dating yet?"
This got another laugh from her and Jin Zixuan paused long enough to press a quick kiss to her hair. "I guess we'll find out depending on how he introduces Lan Wangji to us."
"I feel like I almost still know the guy from all I've heard about him," Jin Zixuan rolled his eyes. He really didn't have a leg to stand on when it came to judging romances though, given his own often disastrous courting of Jiang Yanli.  
"You were friends in high school, right?"
"Yeah, small world," Jin Zixuan said. "Don't know how they get along though. When I knew him, he was the polar opposite of your bother."
"Maybe that's why they are so good together," Jiang Yanli mused. "Or maybe they have more in common then we know? I guess we'll just have to see them in action."

"Wei Ying, where is my cardigan?" Lan Wangji stared into his closet. It was organized by color and type of clothes. He knew exactly what outfits he had used, and if they were waiting to be washed, in the wash, or needing to be placed away. Thus, if anything was missing, there was only one culprit and it wasn't his rabbit.
"I may or may not be wearing it?" came a call from the living area. "You can borrow one of my hoodies!"
"How often do you wash said hoodies?" Lan Wangji asked, taking one of his other sweaters from the closet. It was a light blue. He didn't usually wear it because of the stitching behind one pocket made it look like a little bunny was peaking out. Also, it had been a gift from Wei Wuxian. It was his favorite.
"Um, no comment," was enough of an answer.
"Where is Bichen? He needs to go in his pen before we leave." Lan Wangji checked to make sure there was plenty of hay and fresh water in the pen that took a good area of his room.
"In my lap! I got him, let me save my game." Wei Wuxian came in a minute later, Bichen carefully held against his chest. He was indeed wearing the missing cardigan, and now also a good amount of Bichen's fur.
Once the rabbit was safely back on the ground Wei Wuxian didn't even bother brushing on the fur. Lan Wangji took his wrist and led him back out into the living room. Picking up the lint roller he passed it to Wei Wuxian, who took it with a sigh and a little smile before Lan Wangji went back to finish getting ready. Or he tried to because Wei Wuxian was pulling him closer.
"We're going to be late to your sister's," Lan Wangji reminded, as Wei Wuxian pressed a kiss to his wrist.
"No we aren't, they always give me the wrong time," Wei Wuxian's smile against his skin tickled. It was so easy to be with him, to lean into the warmth, happiness, and love.
"And why would they do that?" Lan Wangji asked, keeping his face serious. 
Wei Wuxian could read him though and tossed his head back to laugh. "Well, because I'm pathologically late, of course!"
"Mn," Lan Wangji kissed his jaw. "Wouldn't be best to prove them wrong?"
Wei Wuxian's eyes lit up. "Show up thirty minutes early, exactly at the time shijie gave me? Bug the peacock in his own home before anyone else? Oh Lan Zhan, you're a genius!" Wei Wuxian pulled away now, glancing at the stove clock. "Okay if we are out the door in eight minutes, we should get there right "on time"."
"Yes," Lan Wangji headed for the bathroom. "Help me put my hair up?"
"Yeah, let me find my earrings."
"They're in the earring dish in the bathroom."
"Lan Zhan, I'm right. You really are a genius." Wei Wuxian skipped ahead of him, flicking on the light. Lan Wangji noted the navy cardigan he'd stolen looked good with his black skinny jeans. "Oh, are we pretending to still not be together? I want to see how red Jiang Cheng will get out of annoyance."
"We could reveal it at the end of the night as we leave." He passed Wei Wuxian the brush.
Wei Wuxian began to carefully put his hair in a braid. "Perfect. Maximum scandal."
"Yes."
"You're such a bad influence, Lan Zhan."
"Mn."
{...}
"That's a lovely sweater a-Xian," Jiang Yanli said with a kind smile.
"Thanks! It's Lan Zhan's," Wei Wuxian beamed back.
Jin Zixuan watched in amusement as Jiang Cheng choked on the sip of wine he'd just taken. It seemed Jin Zixuan still knew Lan Wangji well enough to tell that he was equally entertained. Jin Zixuan just had to sit back and wait for whatever shoe was to drop. This was already much better than any of the dinners previously without Lan Wangji.
Maybe that was just because Wei Wuxian's pranks seemed to be aimed at Jiang Cheng instead of himself tonight. But who could really say?
