Zhongli oneshots

"𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦." OC x Zhongli

Prompt: Zhongli is having nightmares. Fluff, bit Angst

Pair of golden eyes, shining in the rainy night were the only thing that could be seen in a bedroom of this couple. Senna was cuddle up to her husband's chest, sleeping soundly while the latter was combing thru her hair with his fingers. It wasn't rare, that the ex archon was awake. He didn't need as much sleep as his human wife, after all, he wasn't human like her. Yet, there was another reason why he wanted to stay awake. Nightmares. Unfortunately, those were something that was tortuting him. Seeing his friends dying, Liyue being destroyed, failing as a protector...those were his biggest fears. The worst thing was, he had seen all of it. It wasn't anything made up by his mind, it was simply past repeating itself in front of his eyes. It was his curse. Oh, how he wished he could just forget. 
      "You should sleep..." those words woke him up from his thoughts. "I am sorry, did I wake you up?" he said, his voice bit hoarse from not speaking for some time. "No... Probably the wind" said Senna with a soft smiling, pecking his lips. Well, more like the corner of his mouth. Morax laughed quietly. It was cute how sleepy she was. Turning over, he wrapped his black and gold arms around her, shielding her from anything, he slowly fell asleep.  
      It didn't last long. His calm changed again to night terror. Moving around in bed, breathing heavily, it woke his wife up. First she wanted to pout and tell him how he woke her up again, but soon it changed to a worried look. Yet, she was already used to this. Putting her hands on his cheeks she held him, stroking his soft skin with her thumbs. "Shhh wake up, love...Wake up" It was better to wake him up than to leave him suffer. They could go for a walk, it always called him down. She knew how he hated being vulnerable, but now he couldn't help it. Soon, his eyelids fluttered and she could see the golden irises. Bending over, Senna kissed his forehead, laying down. She pulled the latter's head to her chest, so he could listen to her heartbeat. This time, it was her stroking his head, playing with the long dark brown locks at the back. "Breath. I am here. Everything is okay Morax..." using his old name was something she learned that helped. Because she spoke about the past, not now. She knew exactly, what was he dreaming about. And it broke her heart everytime she thought about it. Because...They couldn't change it. Soon his breathing calmed down, putting his arm over her waist and just pulling her close. A small thank you escaped his lips. "What would I do without you..." he whispered, making her smile. And with that, the couple stayed in this position till morning. Feeling safe in each other's arms.
