zhongli

drip. drip. drip. the droplets of rain tapped against the window you were looking out of. it was another one of those dull rainy days you'd spend hours sitting by the window frame to look outside, your elbow conveniently rested on the windowsill with your chin resting on your palm. you blinked, your eyes about to give up on you. in order to distract yourself from the realm of sleep, you drifted your gaze elsewhere — to one of the drops going down the glass surface. you made a habit of watching these little raindrops trickling down as if you were watching a race. it was enough to keep you a bit less sleepy, but it didn't help to that extent. just as you thought you were about to pass out, you felt warm, slender arms wrap around your waist from behind — your boyfriend, zhongli. if there was one thing that made you the opposite of sleeping during days like these, it would happen to be because of his dragon tendencies he dragged you in each day. nuzzling his nose against your shoulder, trailing up to your neck, he sniffed, inhaling deeply his favorite scent — you.

"..cuddles please."

he commanded tenderly, his soft voice echoing through your ears like a hypnotic melody and his touch as gentle as the snow located in snezhnaya. lifting you off the ground, he picked you up before scurrying to your shared room, carrying you bridal style as he closed the door behind him. he sat himself on the bed, then you on his lap, allowing your legs to wrap around his waist and your arms around his neck. huddling close, he snuggled against you, seeking warmth in the otherwise cold day. he loved feeling you on him — the hot heat was unbearable, but he couldn't afford to focus on that right now. it was a warmth seeking session after all, not mating season. not yet.

"my dearest.. i love you oh so much.."

his eyes closed as your presence enveloped him whole, his enjoyment spreading like wildfire.
