Wei Wuxian is silent for a few seconds after he hears this. At first he thinks that Lan Wangji is just talking about a kiss on the cheek or something innocent. He gives those to the other Lan Wangji all the time. But..the more he talks the more he realizes that this is not that. That he clearly means that they kissed and his heart sinks into his stomach.
He doesn't know how to respond. He feels this plethora of emotions flow through him and he knows he should say something but he finds that words are not exactly easy to come by for the first time in his life.
In a way this is his own fault. He did tell Lan Wangji that he could do whatever he wanted with his soul twin. It's not like he had ever laid out any rules. He just thought that perhaps there was some unwritten ones that was where the boundaries laid. The other Lan Wangji always made sure that they never did anything that went past those boundaries..nothing that would make it feel like they were being dishonest with the soul twins. Small affections that simply cemented that they cared for each other as much as they were allowed.
But he said that the other Wei Wuxian had confessed his feelings...does this mean that the other two finally talked about things? Do those kisses mean that the boundaries have been wiped away? If that was the case then why didn't the other Lan Wangji tell him as such? Why have they behaved themselves so well if their soul mates didn't feel the need to do so?
But as his mind clicks through various things, he comes back to one thing that Lan Wangji had said. It happened after you had died. He was only dead for three days...only missing from this world for three days. For him it felt like an eternity. An all encompassing darkness and every day he sees those golden marks all over his body he is reminded of that darkness. But as far as actual time it was only three days...and to do something like that when he was gone. Was he someone who was so easy to just get over and move on to someone else?
But does he even have any right to be angry when he basically gave the man permission?
"You...kissed him..twice.." Once when he was dead and once when he was lying in bed completely broken from the experience...He knows he shouldn't be mad but Wei Wuxian finds that the mere timing of the event makes him rather livid and it starts to show on his face. These are the only words he can form at the moment as he tries to figure out exactly what part of this confession he wants to deal with.
