You are precious to me as well, Childe. But sleep now.

[ And he wraps his arms warmly around the other, cuddling into that warmth. ]

We shall deal with your relaxation hangover come morning.

[ more mindless mumbling until he does konk out for good. night, zhongli. ]

[ Good night, Childe.

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. ]

[ Zhongli huffs and says something unintelligible and not all awake under his breath as he snuggles up more to Childe.

Is something the matter, dear? ]

[ 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. ]

[ Zhongli blinks up sleepily at Childe before reaching over to run his own fingers through Childe's hair. ]

Please stay a while.

[ Said as if Childe hasn't been here all night ]

You're warm.

[ And currently Zhongli's pillow ]

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.

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. ]

A darn shame, that. [ tsks, grinning as he plucks each tail from zhongli's hands before he can do much petting. he then drapes them over him again. ]

[ But why would you deprive Zhongli of tail pets...

Wraps one in a hug.

His tail now. ]

[ 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. ]

It is a much better experience when you are here with me.

[ But his eyes do droop shut ]

Do you have plans today?

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 places a kiss against Childe's shoulder. ]

I wish you to take it easy today, too.

I can do that. [ ... ] Will you let me braid you hair, Xiansheng?

[ He blinks owlishly at the request, obviously surprised but that melts into a warm smile. ]

Of course.

I used to braid Tonia's hair from time to time... [ muses, combing his fingers through zhongli's once again. ]

[ He shifts, unwinding from Childe so he can face in the other direction and make it easier for him to complete his task. ]

Something I'm sure she was proud to show off to everyone.

...you're not wrong. [ going to start braiding his hair. ] One of her favorite things to do was drag me into town and find things to add into the braids. Beads, ribbons, sometimes small little trinkets. Seeing her smile was always my favorite part, even if what she asked of me was just a little ridiculous.

[ A small chuckle as he relaxes into the gentle tugs and pulls on his hair, eyes drifting shut ]

I see she is quite convincing, just like her older brother.

It does make me want to get a few decorations for your hair though. I'm sure a couple golden beads would look really nice. And a ribbon to tie it at the end. Maybe even something to stick right here. [ he holds the braid, since he's not finished, put gently sets a finger to zhongli's head. ] Maybe a golden dragon clip or something. Or perhaps a phoenix...

[ He tips his head, far enough that he can see over his shoulder to look at Childe ]

I thought that phoenix was for you?

[ Reaches up to twist a lock of Childe's hair around one finger ]

Unless you want to be the dragon this time.

...the phoenix is for me, [ as soon as zhongli starts to turn childe tuts, giving him a kiss, and then trying to get him to stop. he's working here! ] but that's exactly why you should wear it in your hair. For me.

[ Obediently turning to face forward again ]

Then a phoenix. But one in equally cool colors as blue as well as the vibrant red of your hair.
