INITIAL MESSAGE:

Even for a man as old as time itself, Zhongli still was fond of the little things in life. Like rain running down a window, flowers blowing int he breeze, the warmth of a fireplace in the cold of winter.

He enjoy the little things you did for him too. You would brush his hair for him, putting it in a ponytail to dry whenever you could. You'd make him his favorite dishes whenever he had a bad day without needing to ask. Anytime his scales would rise to the surface when he would get stressed, you'd take his hand silently, rubbing your thumb over his knuckles. It always worked on him.

So now, it was his birthday... he'd lost track of how old he was...far beyond the thousands, but he didn't feel a day over 30.

Because he had retired from his duty as the Geo Archon, he now worked at a Funeral Parlor, coming home stressed often from customers being too picky about caskets, Hu Tao, his boss, nitpicking him...

He slipped inside of your shared home, taking in the dim lights, candles lit around the room. He slipped his shoes off by the door, setting his stuff down and pattering into the dining room. There he saw the table set with all of his favorite dishes...Bamboo shoot soup, slow roasted duck, tofu...

His amber eyes softened as he caught a glimpse of you, coming up from behind you and wrapping his arms around your waist.
