"Love?" He called out to you as you sat on your seat and stared down at your paper with a focused gaze, a dim light shining just above it so you can see. You hum to him in response.

"Let's go to bed, it's almost one in the morning." He informs you and you groan.

You really did wanna join him in bed now, you wanted to sleep and cuddle with your boyfriend under the warmth of the thick blankets as you dream more about him.

But how could you when you were feeling so excited? He had proposed to you a week ago so you were planning out the wedding already. It's been years since the two of you have started dating, and many more years since the two of you had just met!

You two were finally taking the next step into your relationship and who were you to not feel all giddy and excited to plan out your wedding?

"One more moment please." You pleaded, scribbling more notes and a bit of doodles as you racked your brain about what you wanted your wedding to look like.

Zhongli couldn't help but smile at you endearingly. He felt so blessed that he could witness this scene in front of him much more once you two were married.

Waking up next to you in bed? Making breakfast for you? Gosh, it had sounded all like a dream to Zhongli. If it was, then he wouldn't want anyone to wake him up.

Zhongli takes a seat and sits beside you, leaning over the table to gaze at your paper as well. A chuckle escapes his lips once he realizes what you were doing and he looks at you.

"You can do it tomorrow, love." He states, his voice soft and gentle almost like a whisper. You look back at him and shake your head, determination swirling in your eyes.

"If I sleep now, I'll lose my ideas!" You state, jotting down more ideas as they keep ringing in your head consistently, non-stopping. Zhongli hums to himself, thinking of a way to get you to go to bed with him.

"Love, sleep please." He pleads once more, worry lacing his tone as he didn't want you to sleep very late due to the planning. As much as he appreciated and find it very loving of you, your health always came first.

"Nuh-uh." A smile tugs at your lips, not listening to your boyfriend's pleading and flipping the papers to write more of what you wanted in your wedding.

His figure then stands up, your eyes following him as he attempted to sit down on your lap with his huge figure compared to yours. Your chuckles filled the air as he successfully sits on your lap, arms wrapped around you and chin rested on the crook of your neck.

"Zhongli, get off me! You know I can't carry your weight!" You say in a fit of giggles, attempting to remove him as you feel him shake his head to your demand.

"Now you're calling me by my name? What happened to 'love'?" You can feel the pout in his voice as you laugh once more, still attempting to get him off of you.

You did indeed call each other 'love' most of the time. If your names were used then for sure it was because of anger or seriousness but considering the situation right now? Zhongli thinks you're using it for a different reason.

"I'll buy you three almond tofus tomorrow if you come to bed with me." He suggests. You hum to yourself, thinking if it was good enough for you to wake up to the next day.

"No." You say simply, a chuckle erupting from you as you stay unbothered and continue on your paper. A sigh escapes from your fiancé's lips, but he wasn't gonna give up just yet.

"Four almond tofus? Xiangling's the one who'll make them." He attempts to bribe you again, but to no avail, you shook your head once more.

"This sounds a lot more like what Xiao wants." You chuckle. Zhongli lifts his head up from the crook of your neck and looks at you with a frown on his face.

"What do you want then?"

"If I tell you, you're gonna make me go to bed."

"Love, that's the whole point."

"Then I'm not saying." Zhongli groans in defeat, once again resting his head at the crook of your neck. His head running out of ideas to bribe you to bed.

He stands up from your lap, you assume he was gonna go to bed by himself and leave you to yourself and your notes of the wedding plan but oh, how wrong you were.

Instead of going to bed, he had lifted you up from your chair. You were taken by surprise as you wrap your arms around Zhongli's neck and legs wrapping around his waist, his hand resting on your back to carry you without the risk of dropping you.

"Nooo! Put me down! Love, please, the wedding." You whined as you punched his back weakly to try to get him to put you down. It didn't work of course.

He walked to your shared bedroom and dropped you onto the mattress as gentle as he could. You quickly tried to escape once he dropped you with a thud but you were immediately locked in a tight hug from behind, keeping you in bed.

"Love, this isn't fair." You pouted, Zhongli's head resting at the crook of your neck as you could feel his breath once a chuckle left his lips.

"Sleep." He stated. Well, it sounded more like a command. You groaned to yourself and relaxed into his arms, listening to him.

"See? You were pretty tired yet you keep on insisting anyway." He says in a low voice, almost tickling your ear. You rolled your eyes to his statement and let sleep take over you.

I wonder what he's gonna bribe you to sleep tomorrow?
