[ childe nestles into his lap and starts scooping up water and attempting to douse zhongli's hair, as if there's going to be any headway made in any actual washing. ] ...do you have special shampoos or something? I bet they smell nice. Like you. [ what if he just... lays his head on his shoulder and noses into his neck, nearly on the verge of passing out. ]
[ childe tries his best not to fall asleep, but he's not having much luck. zhongli is so nice and warm and nice. he smiles, giving him a nuzzle as he hums his acknowledgement, zhongli's words becoming muffled as childe loses track of what he's actually saying - the medication finally taking effect and knocking him out. so much for the bath. sorry he dragged you in, zhongli. ]
[ No need for apologies. That Childe feels comfortable enough to rest in his care is more than enough for any minor inconvenience.
He washes what he can with what is at arm's length - flowery soaps and the soft brushing of Childe's ears and tail. When he is satisfied with his work, Zhongli gets up out of the bath and dries them both of to the best of his ability - careful to always keep one hand on Childe's person to let him know he is there.
This is a little more difficult as he attempts to wrap Childe up in a light sleeping robe. ]
[ childe is dead to the world... so sorry he's like a literal rock and of absolutely no help. he'll feel bad he dragged zhongli into the bath when he wakes up, since that made things more difficult in the long run. once he's wrapped up in a robe he stirs a bit, tugging the collar closing and nestling into it, scooting closer to zhongli and purred softly. ]
[ he's going to cling to zhongli like his life depends on it. hopefully zhongli didn't have any other plans for the evening... because childe's keeping him all to himself. ] Xiansheng.
[ childe murmurs the most incoherent sentence known to man as he nuzzles his cheek into zhongli's chest, his arm sliding up his chest to come to rest alongside his own face. he draws little random patterns at first, nothing meaningful or special, but then he tries drawing the liyuan symbol for love... poorly. he's still half asleep, so he'll totally blame that. ]
Zhongli falls asleep soon after, still holding Childe in his arms. He also is a notorious bed hogger. So whenever Childe does start to wake, he might find himself even further entangled in Zhongli's limbs as well as with all the remaining covers cocooned around them like a nest. ]
[ childe is normally a light sleeper, but being exhausted has him pretty knocked the fuck out. he does wake up before zhongli not-so-suprisingly... and he is tangled in a couple of limbs and a few blankets, encompassed in a lulling warmth. ] Xiansheng. [ wriggles. ] Xiansheng? [ h- he's stuck. ]
[ childe manages to free his arm with some effort, draping it around zhongli's shoulders as he idly begins playing with his ponytail. he gives a tug to the tie holding it in place, combing it out once its removed. ]
What was that Xiansheng? You love me? [ chuckles. ] I love you too~ [ chu - kisses the top of his head. ]
I'm not going anywhere, Zhongli Xiansheng. Here is where I want to be besides. [ he takes zhongli's wrist and guides his hand to his mouth for a kiss. ] I should hope so. [ he chuckles, shifting a little, so he can bring his tails around and drown zhongli in them. ]
[ childe huffs a laugh, setting a hand on zhongli's head as he attaches himself to one of his tails. ] It seems like you're still a bit tired, Zhongli, ...why don't you close your eyes and relax. [ glides his fingers through his hair. ]
No. I can stay here with you as long as you'd like me to. [ childe nestles back down into the blankets, wrapping his arms back around zhongli. ] Just take it easy today.

[ He can never say no to this man, so he lets him drag him into the tub all the way, clothes and all. ]
I won't.
[ And he pulls Childe into his lap. ]

They do.
But I have some scents that I think would also suit you very nicely.

Re: Day 498 - fanmail cont.
[ Zhongli has currently lost himself in the slow measured petting of Childe's hair. Is this act supposed to soothe himself or Childe? ]
Yes, Childe?
Re: Day 498 - fanmail cont.
Re: Day 498 - fanmail cont.
[ And he wraps his arms warmly around the other, cuddling into that warmth. ]
We shall deal with your relaxation hangover come morning.

Re: Day 498 - fanmail cont.
Please stay a while.
[ Said as if Childe hasn't been here all night ]
You're warm.
[ And currently Zhongli's pillow ]
Re: Day 498 - fanmail cont.
Re: Day 498 - fanmail cont.
Chiiiiiilde.
That's unfair. I have no tail of my own to counter with.
[ He says as he shifts and twists on the bed so that he can be sure to pet each tail in turn. ]
