Plot: You and Nezha are stuck in a prison realm and he makes you sleep after staying up for literally days [fluff]

____________________________________

You looked down at the raging fire in front of you. Something you and Nezha created together. It was pitch black in the prison realm, I mean, it was always dark, but during the night time it was basically impossible to see anything. Every night you and him set up camp in this barren wasteland then call it a night.

How did you end up here? Long story short, a god betrayed their oath and took a path of evil. The world would have been doomed if it wasn't for the quick thinking of you and Nezha. Nezha had found out a way to seal away the god's power forever, it had to be under lock and key in a prison realm, but a being of any sort had to deliver it to the keeper of the realm (who was surprisingly nice for ruling over such a harsh place!).

You had originally planned to do it by yourself since you were sort of familiar with the prison realm, but Nezha changed plans last minute and went with you. He made a foolish choice, you know he had, but he wouldn't take no for an answer, so you and your love were stuck in hell. The good-souled beings of this place told you to think of it as a wonderland, where nothing is as it seems.

Nothing here was as it seems. Saw a snake slithering around? Wrong, it's a man-eating worm with sharp teeth that was out for blood.

But, it was nights like this that helped you rest easily. You and Nezha. You sat in front of the fire, playing around with your cloak that you took off. You set your cloak down and picked up your sword, looking at yourself in the reflection, you looked exhausted. Eyebags were forming under your eyes, your body was fighting off sleep.

You had been up for the past couple of nights devising ways the two of you could get to the sacred temple that guarded a weapon of realm traveling, but...this temple was merely a myth within this world. A fairytale to tell children...whatever children were in here. You had been looking for clues that could lead to at least a sliver of evidence that the temple does indeed exist.

This has eaten away at you mentally, you were so focused on getting back home- helping Nezha get back home- that you forgot to think about yourself. Whatever, what's a few nights of lost sleep gonna do? You'll rest when you get home. You started to pull papers and books out of your satchel before you felt a hand grab your wrist, stopping you in your tracks.

"Lotus, you need sleep. You've been staying up way too long, this is unhealthy, and it can wear you down" Nezha protested. You looked at him for a moment, considering it, then yanking your wrist away and grabbing the satchel. "It's fine, I'll sleep tomorrow" You dismissed.

"You said that last night, and the night before that. You're just as stubborn as Sun Wukong" He stated, crouching down to see you still carrying on with your actions. "Hey! If anything, that simian wishes he was as stubborn as me" You carried on, spreading paper out on the black soil, using the fire as a light source to read.

"Taking pride in your stubbornness isn't a good thing, you are aware of that, yes?" Nezha deadpanned. You didn't bother paying mind to your boyfriend, picking a piece of paper up with the language of the realm written on it. "Well, some say that, you know what I say? I don't fucking care" You tried decoding the language on the page, using another piece of paper that translated the realm's alphabet into the one you were taught.

"Language" He grumbled. He allowed you to continue working on decoding the language, he averted his gaze upwards to see your weary eyes, your body was begging for sleep but your mind didn't listen and continued working anyways. "Alright, that's it" Before you could even register what he said, you were slung over his shoulder and brought away from your papers.
