To Celebrate their Sun

Hello! Just in time for my boy's birthday, we have my ultimate OT4 spoiling him. Huge shout out to my Omi for the title and for helping me clean this up.

It was early in the morning when Baizhu first started to stir awake. He blearily cracked an eye open and looked around. He desperately wanted to go back to sleep, but today was the one day he definitely couldn't. It was a very special day after all. They had plans for a certain someone, but they needed to ensure that person stayed asleep. He carefully rolled onto his side and stretched an arm across the chest under him. He was so warm and cozy in the bed that he could start to feel himself drifting off again.

With great effort he shook his head and pulled himself further up on the bed. "Wake up, love." He whispered.

Diluc huffed as he clearly did not like the idea but hummed when he felt Baizhu kiss his cheek. "Come on, it's his birthday." That did it. It didn't matter how much he wanted to sleep; he would be anything to see one of his boys smile.

Diluc's arm tightened around Baizhu, but he opened his eyes. "Good morning." His voice rumbled, still deep from the lack of using it while he slept. As much as Baizhu loved his voice, he quickly shushed him, and covered his mouth with his hands. He wasn't the only one who was curled up with Diluc.

Diluc was always the warmest due to his pyro vision, but he also refused to not have his hands on his boys. It didn't matter if he fell asleep first or last, they would always end up in his arms, curled into his side, or sleeping on his chest. He treasured the time he was able to hold them and feel them relax as they fell asleep in his arms. They had been through so much, but with Diluc holding them, they knew exactly how safe and loved they were.

Thankfully, Childe hadn't moved a muscle at the voice. Normally, the slightest sound or movement would have him snapping awake due to his years of intense training, but that all changed when he was at home. At home, he finally allowed his body to relax fully and let the exhaustion that gnawed at his bones and settled deep in his chest take over. It went against everything he had been trained to do, everything that he had to do to survive, but the trust he had in his boys was enough to overpower that as he passed out every time he was with them.

The saving grace they had was that everyone was used to someone leaving or joining the bed at odd times due to their differing schedules so movement in the bed didn't normally wake anyone up. Baizhu slowly slid off Diluc, his tired body protesting the movement as he stretched. Diluc carefully shifted, replacing the position of his body with one of the pillows to help keep his heat trapped in the bed for as long as possible.

Baizhu crept to the windows in the bedroom and made sure the shades were securely in place, if this was going to work, they needed to make sure the sun wouldn't wake Childe up early by sneaking through any gaps. Diluc snuck up behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist as he dropped his head onto his shoulder. They swayed gently together, enjoying the soft atmosphere as they world felt still in the early morning hours.

"How are we supposed to get Zhongli?" He asked, keeping his voice soft. Baizhu was able to hear him with how close Diluc had his face pressed into this neck. Zhongli, however, was currently pressed against Childe's back with his arms wrapped around him and seemed dead to the world.

Baizhu wiggled out of Diluc's grip when he got an idea. He practically laid his upper body on top of Zhongli and began playing with his bangs. Zhongli barely moved as Baizhu continued to play with his hair and gently stroked his face, but his body started to relax and his grip on Childe slowly loosened.
