Work Text:
Xie Lian gets hit by a de-aging curse and spends the whole day bossing his “bodyguard” around. Hua Cheng is delighted to push little Dianxia on a swing he makes, and make him food to his exacting specifications, and carry him around when he gets tired.
Xie Lian is very embarrassed when he gets un-cursed, but Hua Cheng assures him that he had a wonderful time, and actually Xie Lian should boss him around more in general.
This doesn’t help with the embarrassment.
——
De-aged Xie Lian, sleeping peacefully on Wu Ming’s chest. 🥺 Wu Ming tucks a blanket around him and holds him gently. He’s honored to be chosen as a napping spot.
——
Now I’m thinking about tiny de-aged Xie Lian, mildly sick (like a minor cold) because of the curse that de-aged him, and Hua Cheng bundling him up in blankets and cuddling him. Xie Lian puts his forehead against Hua Cheng’s neck, and it feels nice, because he’s a ghost so it’s cold.
——
Hua Cheng gets a headache, and he tries to ignore it and keep doing things, but it’s really bad. :( Xie Lian notices and gets him to lie down in a quiet dark room for cuddles. 🥺 Hua Cheng feels much better with his only task being “snuggle with gege”.
…
Xie Lian with a headache. Hong Hong-er is there to help!!! He very very carefully gives gege a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Xie Lian feels better already. <3
