XL closed his eyes and let the other man's breathing lull him into a state of meditative attentiveness as HC fell asleep against his chest, one arm draped heavily but comfortably across XLs waist.
crownlessagain.bsky.social
The corner of XLs mouth twitched up and he put his hands back onto HCs scalp, applying gentle pressure, and felt the smaller man go limp against his side.
"When do you need to take meds again?"
"..just did so.. four hours"
XL nodded.
"Alright, sleep. I'll wake you then."
The blankets hummed quietly.

He came back in twenty minutes later feeling much less gritty, his long dark hair fully down to let it air dry, and he joined HC under the blankets, scooting close and carefully maneuvering so that HCs head was pillowed on his chest, still under the blankets.
"This okay?"
A quiet groan answered.
crownlessagain.bsky.social
"I'm going to go shower and then I'll be right back, alright?"
"Mkay.. don't rush on my account. 'm not going anywhere.."
XL gave a light admonishing squeeze to the head under his hand (the blankets made another relieved sigh) and then gathered his sleep clothes and slipped back out of the room.

Xie Lian suppressed a disappointed sigh. He wasn't going to force it if HC felt this sick. Truly he was relieved enough that HC had taken the initiative to eat anything at all.
"Can I do anything?"
A pause, then a head shake he was only aware of since his fingers were in HCs hair.
crownlessagain.bsky.social
A hand emerged from the lump of blankets and pointed to the granola bar wrapper and empty protein shake on the side table, then retreated back into the void.
It wasn't an ideal meal, but at least he wasn't starving.
"Do you think you could eat more?"
"... too nauseous," was the muffled reply.
crownlessagain.bsky.social
The blankets shifted a little.
"I'm used to it. It's okay. Don't be sorry."
XL moved his hand slightly and ran his fingers along HCs scalp, adding pressure as he moved, and was rewarded with a soft relieved groan.
As he had thought.
"Did you eat?"
crownlessagain.bsky.social
*quietly* "Mn. I'm here, San Lang. What can I do?"
The lump of blankets seemed to relax a little.
"..missed you."
Something twisted in XLs chest. He breathed through it.
"Did you have a good day?" the blankets asked quietly.
His chest loosened a little. "I did. I'm sorry you're not feeling well."
crownlessagain.bsky.social
He moves silently to HCs side and gently *gently* lays the back of his hand against the little bit of HCs forehead that is peeking out from under the blankets.
No fever at least.
He lets out a quiet relieved sigh.
"..gege..?" ..a barely audible mumble muffled by multiple blankets.

He pads quietly to the bedroom and feels his heart sink a little as he enters and sees the unmoving lump of blankets on the bed, and the meds and water bottle on the side table within arms reach.
Ah. So it was one of *those* days.

San Lang is always a late sleeper when he can be, normally crawling out of bed and emerging from the room around noon if he has no other obligations, but ,,,
Xie Lian checks the clock on the wall to see that it's almost 5:30pm, and feels his frown deepen a little.

Now it was much later in the afternoon, and XL has just returned, dirty and sweaty and feeling oddly fulfilled and content after a solid days work in a garden, but a small frown settles on his face as he realizes nothing has been moved or changed and the bedroom light is still off.

—crawled into bed next to him and buried himself under his pile of blankets, falling asleep almost immediately.)
XL slipped out of the room as quietly as he could, and left a note on the bathroom mirror where HC would see it in case he woke up and wondered where XL had disappeared to.

— making sure not to wake HC. The younger man had worked late last night and had crawled groggily into bed sometime after midnight. (XL had tried to stay up and wait for him but ultimately ended up passing out sometime around eleven thirty, and only woke for a moment as HC —

Xie Lian doesn't often leave the apartment on his own if Hua Cheng has a day off, but he had promised Auntie Li that he would come help her with her garden that day so he slipped quietly out of bed early in the morning and got dressed in the relative darkness —
