Prompt: Mothxian is just a silly little guy! Now if only he could get the attention of the cute Witch who lives in the woods...
Ship: Wangxian
Word Count: 930
Mothxian really did have the best life. His perfectly wonderful forest, the cutest, most well groomed wings-- which were absolutely perfect for deflecting predators, all the flowers with the most delicious nectar. What more could he ask for? Well, attention of course!
The attention of a very specific person. The handsome new witch who moved into his forest! With the shiniest black hair and prettiest amber eyes he had ever seen! Mothxian was swooning I tell you! He watched the handsome witch from afar, each day slowly moving closer.
He would lounge on a flower, head resting in his teeny tiny hand and sigh dreamily while watching the witch gather his herbs and ingredients. Absolutely perfect. Now if only he could have his attention too! He watched the way Witchji would treat the local wildlife.
He was kind and patient and-- he gave them pets!! Mothxian wanted head pats too! And smooches and to cuddle up against him like that stupid bunny he was holding. Hmph! Mothxian was absolutely floored! How dare those bunnies get his attention! In spite, he did not visit Witchji for two whole days.
When he returned, Witchji was not home. Fear and panic filled the little moth, had Witchji missed his presence so much he disappeared?! He fluttered all around, peeking into the windows and even daring to go down the dusty chimney.
When he still found no sight of his pretty witch, Mothxian plopped himself down on Witchji's table and cried. He hadn't even gotten to meet his Witchji yet and he was gone!! Perhaps that was the downside to being so small, you could only feel so many emotions at once, and typically you felt a lot of one emotion at a time.
So there sat little Mothxian, covered in soot and tears, his little sobs were so loud to him but could barely be heard in the human sized room. He was so occupied in his grief, he didn't hear the door open.
Witchji entered the home with a small bouquet of pretty flowers, but he paused when he heard the tiny hiccups. He carefully moved over to the table, set the flowers down and very carefully picked up Mothxian. The tears stopped instantly, silver eyes widening when he was
picked up without warning. "Who--?! Oh..."
"Are you alright?" Witchji pulled a handkerchief from his robes and gently began wiping the little moth off.
"Y-you're here!" He was here, and he had Mothxian's favorite flowers!! But he saw him all dirty and crying! Oh no!
How embarrassing! Mothxian held his tiny hands up in vain. "Don't look! Don't look! I'm a mess!! Pretty witch can only see me when I'm pretty!"
Witchji frowned, tilting his head. "You are always pretty."
"Wha!!" Mothxian felt his heart flutter as fast as his wings. So smooth!!
Witchji smiled and sat down, carefully grabbing the wash basin he had on the table and pulled it over to dip the handkerchief in so he could clean him a little better.
"Did you fall down my chimney?" Mothxian pouted, looking away as his cheek was carefully scrubbed clean of soot. Witchji was so gentle... Mothxian was absolutely swooning again.
"No... i... I was looking for you. I thought... you left."
"Left?"
"Yes. You were gone!" He exclaims, tint arms throwing up into the air, unknowingly helping Witchji clean him a little better. "Poof! Gone!"
"I went to get some new flowers to try and grow here."
"Those?" Mothxian pointed.
"Yes. I noticed you like these the most. So I wanted to plant some here."
"I do." He gently ran a finger under the no clean chin and Mothxian instantly nuzzled into the touch. "You never come close, I was worried you were scared of me."
"Scared?! I am the bravest! This is my for-- you... know I am nearby?"
"Of course."
"But you never approach." He gave the biggest pout he could manage. "I did not wish to scare you off."
"So... you got my favorite flowers.. to get me to come closer!" He gasped, tint hands smacking his cheeks. "So smooth!"
Witchji was surprised by the exclamation, but he only smiled. "I am Lan Zhan."
"I am Wei Ying!!" Mothxian said proudly. Not only was his witch pretty and kind, but he had been noticing him! Mothxian was certain he was in love now.
"There, all clean~"
Mothxian looked down at himself and beamed.
"Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan! Thank you! Let me say thank you!!" He flew up out of his hands, determined to make Witchji swoon just as hard! He could be smooth too! And he placed the tiniest kiss on Witchji's nose.
Mothxian felt pretty smug about this very bold decision, even more so when he saw the surprised expression on Witchji's face.
That day began the start of a new chapter for the little moth and his witch. Mothxian was always by his side. Either on his shoulders or hat, constantly chatting away and 'flirting' with his human.
Witchji found him completely endearing, always praising and complimenting him since it made the little moth preen with pride.
They became inseparable, Witchji even made a little home for Mothxian so he could sleep comfortably and safely while staying at his place.
Mothxian was delighted. He finally had his Witchji's attention, now, if only he could get him to stop giving it to those fuzzballs! But that was a problem for another day.
