Prompt: Y/n wants to braid Zhongli's hair

AU: Modern, roommates 

It was some time already since Zhongli and y/n moved in together. Both being quite short on money, desperate to find a place to live in. They didn't know each other before no. They were strangers, only met once before agreeing to move in together. But, that was months ago. Now, it was normal they even borrowed each other's clothes, eating from the same bowl of popcorn while watching a film. It was a long journey. And it probably wouldn't even start, if the long haired man didn't find his roommate crying. After that day, they spend whole night cuddling, getting to know each other. 

One of the things Zhongli wouldn't stop doing was pressuring y/n into joining him with his skin care routine. "It's so expensive! Why are you even doing this?! You're already perfect!" was the response he usually got, but after a while, he won. So now, it was normal he waited for them, to do it together, before leaving for work. Y/n didn't tell him tho, that they always woke up an hour before thay had to just so they spend more time together. On the other hand, Zhongli never told y/n he didn't like sea food, because they looked so excited when they bought sushi for dinner. Those were the little things the two of them wouldn't change. 

"Let me braid your hair" 

It was in the evening hours, both of them in pajamas, preparing for bed. Long time ago, both of them had seperate bedrooms but after y/n spending most of the nights in Zhongli's bed, they made their bedroom into an office/gym/art room/etc... After the man heard this, he was, to be frank, suprised. He cared for his hair, always dying it so it looks perfect but he never tried anything...new. It wasn't because he was scared, he was just a bit uncreative in this field. So, he hesistantly agreed. Y/n explained that it won't tangle his hair in the night as much as before and that it'll make his hair a bit wavy in the morning! And if he didn't think it was a good idea before, he couldn't say now to their beautiful smile. The smile that reminded him of sunshine. That always made his mood better. That he fell in love somewhere among the days. He couldn't quite pinpoint when it happened. He let them sit beside him, put the hair tye aside and just sit there as a statue. He was a bit nervous, with them being so close to him, but he also enjoyed him. "I've always wondered how does your hair keep being so silky" he heard from behind, resulting in a low chuckle. "It's maybe because I don't forget to use conditioner all the tim- ouch!" they both laughed. Because he KNEW that little pull was on purpose. It didn't take long before his hair was finished. After he looked at himself in the mirror, he insisted on doing it to y/n too. So, the proccess began again. But, maybe, just maybe he spend some more time on it just playing with their hair. Just feeling it in his fingers and smiling to himself. "I am gonna look like a sheep in the morning" said y/n with a smile. It pulled Zhongli out of his thought's and he quickly finished it. As a thank you, he got a little forehead kiss. "Let's go to sleep, shall we?" he replied, before laying down, y/n laying on his chest and both of them falling asleep, content in each other's arms. They didn't need 'I love you's' to know that they were loved. Their bond was something everyone was jealous of. But they had their entire worlds next to them. And who knows, maybe one day atleast one of them will conffess.
