"Why wouldn't I?" Is an easy rejoinder, as easy as his smile. Their relationship is a constant renegotiation, but one he feels more and more they manage, day to day, to turn into something better than their worst selves. He's so used to being the reason for a relationship to be abandoned, and he wants to give back so much of himself, have people to give to, that once the door's opened a crack, he's already there, trying to squirm through as unobtrusively as possible.

"Jiang Cheng, I know that I'm," he pauses, not sure what to say. "Thank you," he says instead, and clasps his hands behind his back, out of the way and firm at the base of his spine. "I know there are compromises you've made even when you didn't have to, and I wanted you to know, thank you."

So there's a rabbit, larger than some, many dogs Wei Wuxian may have seen, and there's this. A gift he can give, that's all for Jiang Cheng. Something which will love him, above all others. Is even nosing into his shoulder now, with big, dark eyes.
