Lan Xichen is quiet and serious, an endearing concentration on his face as he stirs the soupy broth that’s brewing on the kitchen stove
it must be good, considering how much of the steam has reddened Xichen’s high cheekbones
you currently couldn’t quite breathe out of your nose
sitting on the loveseat of your living room, you lean on the arm of the couch, staring sleepily as Lan Xichen stirs away at the broth that was supposed to make you feel better
because they always hit you this hard
no matter how much you prepare
you blink slowly, not quite realizing that Lan Xichen had arrived by your side and had even bought along a steaming bowl of soup, placed nicely on the coffee table
Lan Xichen smiles at you gently, moves close to you to help you sit up a bit straighter
you cough a little bit into your sweater paws, as Lan XIchen shifts you against his side to lean down and grab the bowl, holding it out to you
this close, you can truly feel the heat of the steam, already doing wonders of clearing up your nose
the effects are far from instantaneous, but something was working
you reach out for the bowl with your sweater paws, but the bowl still feels too hot to touch,
so you draw your hands away, leaning back into his side where you belonged
Xichen huffs a small laugh at your actions, wrapping his arm around you and reaching for the spoon in the bowl to mix the soup a bit more,
he spoons up a small portion, blowing gently before lifting the spoon up to you,
“ahh,” Lan Xichen coaxes, like you are a child
you want to pout at him for treating you like this
but his arms are so warm, and the soup looks enticing
so you let Xichen feed you, spoonful after warm spoonful
you manage to get around halfway of the soup before your stomach feels tight,
you nuzzle you face into the crook of Xichen’s neck, hoping that somehow that action can chase away the tired feeling
“no more?” Xichen asks, gently, so understandingly, and feels your small nod against the bottom of his neck
he nods above you in response, even when you can’t see him
you feel him maneuver you just the slightest bit to put the bowl on the coffee table
before your stomach can even consider churning, Xichen leans back into the couch, you cuddled into his side
he moves his hand down, placing a gentle hand over your stomach, warm from the soup bowl before
“thank you for taking care of me,” you mumble into his side, feeling safe, content as you can be when you’re not at your best
Lan Xichen smiles, already can tell of the sleep that’s overtaking you by how your head leans into his side
he doesn’t say anything more
just kisses you against your temple
as you’re brought to an easier sleep
