We're friends... right?

Summary: The juniors thought that the revered Hanguang-Jun would runaway and elope with the recently found-innocent Yiling Patriarch. When it didn't happen after Jin Guangyao's death, they waited... ...and waited... ...and waited. Nothing! Absolutely Nothing! Up until Wei Qianbei met them on a Nighthunt, they thought that he was an idiot for leaving the Cloud Recesses! But... that was before. Now they wonder... does Hanguang-Jun deserve Wei Qianbei? Kay's comments: This fic is a The Untamed and Novel Canon mix, but is set after The Untamed ending where Wangxian go their seperate ways and it's a reply to the mixed signals our dear Lan Wangji was sending, especially in his first life, which led to Wei Wuxian being unsure where they stood, especially after being left at the side of the road. A delightful outsider POV where the outsider in question realizes: huh, so that guys isn't an oblivious idiot? Really loved it! Excerpt: “You were on Hanguang-Jun’s level?” Jingyi asked in shock. “Of course!” Wei Qianbei exclaimed. “I still remember the first time we duelled. On a rooftop under moonlight and Emperor’s Smile in my hand.” The Juniors listened intently, hoping to hear something romantic. “He broke my jar! Told me to leave!” Wei Qianbei laughed, not noticing the Juniors’ flinch. “Of course, I was sneaking into Cloud Recesses after curfew the night before the Guest Lectures started. He told me ‘No entry after curfew’. And I had the Emperor’s Smile, so he told me off for the alcohol. And I made the mistake of trying to bribe him with it. So, three offences on our first meeting. He was so mad. I don’t know how I convinced him to be my friend when I was only there for three months, one of those months he oversaw my punishment copying the rules! I think we became friends after that.” Wei Qianbei looked happy about it for some reason, but none of the juniors could understand why. What was so romantic about fighting someone on a rooftop for breaking the rules and getting one of your belongings destroyed in the process? Obviously Wei Qianbei is biased, but love makes people biased towards the ones they love, so this is to be expected. Wei Qianbei obviously loves Hanguang-Jun, but… it doesn’t sound like Hanguang-Jun loves Wei Qianbei back.
