The sun was shining rather brightly far away in the sky, and the somewhat cold wind was good on their skin as they walked through the park watching the green coming back after the winter. It was spring and both Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji loved this season, but neither were really happy to be strolling on a date today.

You see, they are parents, and it’s quite recently. To be honest, today is their little A-Yuan’s 100th day and they have a small party organized by their parents, the same ones that urged them (read: kick them out of the apartment) to go out alone, just the two of them for the first time since the birth.

And although they do need this time alone, all they could talk about is their little one, missing him after so many days together.

“Do you think he’s ok? Is he crying? Feeling alone?” Wei Wuxian asked, almost whining, hugging his husband’s arm.

“Mother and mother-in-law are taking care of him.” Lan Wangji said “And father-in-law and uncle. I trust them.”

Wei Wuxian looked at him “You don’t sound very optimistic.”

Lan Wangji sighed “I also miss A-Yuan.”

Kissing his husband's cheek just because he can, Wei Wuxian sighed too and laid his head on Lan Wangji’s shoulder.

“Where should we go, though? I’m feeling hungry.”

“It’s noon.” Lan Wangji nodded “Where do Wei Ying want to go?”

“To be honest? Home.” he chuckled “Should we go to our favorite restaurant?”

Lan Wangji said the name outloud to be sure and Wei Wuxian confirmed it was the one, so they went to take the subway.

“Do you think I can drink again?” Wei Wuxian asked when they sat down inside the subway car.

“Mn.”

“But maybe I’ll choose tea.” Wei Wuxian hummed “I kinda want orange juice, though.”

“Then Wei Ying can drink orange juice.”

“Lan Zhan!” Wei Wuxian laughed.

They went out at the right station walking hand in hand, talking, again, about little Lan Yuan and his needs.

The walk to the restaurant wasn't long and soon they were already sitting down, luckily, on the last available table, thanking their host. And although they looked through the menu, both decided to ask for the same thing they almost always choose when they come to this specific restaurant.

“You know…” Wei Wuxian began, taking a sip of his orange juice “I’m feeling so tired.”

“Mn. A-Yuan… We haven’t slept much.”

“How can someone so cute be so troublesome?” Wei Wuxian laughed, “I love him so much.”

Lan Wangji smiled softly at his husband “We both love him.”

“Of course, of course. Even when he stinks so much we need to cover our noses.”

“Or when he pees on us.”

Wei Wuxian laughed again, “Or when he throws up on our shoulder.”

“Specially when he pulls our hair.” Lan Wangji let out a small huff that was definitely a laugh.

Their food soon came out and they ate in silence, Wei Wuxian feeling too hungry to keep talking. A slice of red velvet cake was shared between them after the meal with two cups of the same jasmine tea, and they smiled as they fed each other. They definitely looked like a young couple on a date, and not at all a married one with a baby back home. Wei Wuxian it was fun, this image of how much in love they still are with each other, it makes him feel things like warmth and the need to squeal with his head underwater.

“Lan Zhan?”

“Mn?”

“I love you.” he said, trying to ease the feelings inside his chest.

Lan Wangji only looked soft and smiled, holding his hand across the table and said: “I love you, too.”

Damn him. Now Wei Wuxian is feeling more like he is going to explode.

They paid for their meal and went out of the restaurant hand in hand and smiling - more like grinning in Wei Wuxian’s case.

“Do you think it’s ok to go back home now?” Wei Wuxian asks.

“No.” Lan Wangji answered with a head shake “Mother in law said she would call.”

“Ah. Ok…”

It’s not that Wei Wuxian didn’t want to be with his husband, actually, he really missed being alone with Lan Wangji, to just being with him, just the two of them. But A-Yuan is their first son, their first baby, and this is the first time they spent away from him. Wei Wuxian has fears, and he’s sure Lan Wangji also has his own, after all, they never experienced this before today.

Taking a deep breath to calm his heart and mind, Wei Wuxian tightened his hold on Lan Wangji’s hand and pulled him to another direction.

“Where?” his husband asked.

“Call a didi and then we’ll go to a spa to relax.” Wei Wuxian grinned, taking his phone out “Ah?! It’s not even 1pm?!”

Lan Wangji shook his head fondly, and let himself be pulled.

Neither of the two wanted to say out loud that they fell asleep while in session, the massage was too good, as expected from a luxurious and expensive place, and they had been sleeping very little since Wei Wuxian’s last month of pregnancy, and babies are not good for sleep routine to be very honest. It makes Lan Wangji remember the night of their wedding, how they were both so tired that any kind of intimacy beyond sleeping in the same bed never happened.

It’s almost dusk now and they have been given the ok from Wei Wuxian’s father to go back home, so now they were trying not to look as if they were rushing.

“Hundred days, huh…” Wei Wuxian sighed, head on his husband’s shoulder while the car stopped at a red light.

“Mn.” Lan Wangji nodded “Growing up.”

“We knew that. Our A-Yuan is going to grow up fast. But to experience…”

“To know and to see are two different things.” Lan Wangji nodded and kissed his husband’s head just because.

“Soon enough he's going to be talking.”

“And walking.”

“Oh no! Walking!” Wei Wuxian made an over dramatic gasp, making Lan Wangji smile “And then soon he’s going to be a kindergarten! And, what?! A teenager after that? No~ Let me have A-Yuan as a baby forever.”

“Not so fast.” Lan Wangji said “We have time.”

“Hmm… We have.” Wei Wuxian nodded.

Soon, but somehow not soon enough, they reached their apartment complex and thanked their driver before rushing out and passing through security as quickly as possible.

“Ready for your son's hundred day party?” Wei Wuxian asked with an amused smile as they waited for the lift.

“Waited for too long.” was the serene answer.

Wei Wuxian giggled and they stepped inside the lift “Do you think mom just ignored the baby sized tuxedo and put A-Yuan into a baby sized hanfu?”

“She’s your mother.” Lan Wangji nodded rather seriously while clicking on their floor number, making his husband laugh.

“I love you so much, let’s go be parents!”

Lan Wangji could only smile fondly at him.
