Hello! I really like your headcanons, they’re always super cute!!! Is it ok if I request for cg!Zhongli or Kaveh hcs? If possible could there be a part where the little is scared to sleep on their own in the dark? If that’s too specific then whatever you’d like to write is fine!! Thank you 💖
Hello! Thanks for the request! :O the more specific the better!<33

Caregiver!Zhongli & Regressor!Reader
The sun has set, and you find yourself struggling to sleep. It’s dark, and it seems to make you anxious. Hiding under your blankie wasn’t helping too much either. You glance at the gap under the door, seeing the dim light coming through, and decide to go see your caregiver, Zhongli. It’s not too much of a surprise that he is awake right now. You plop off of the side of your bed, dragging the blankie in your little balled fist behind you. You reach your spare hand to the door handle, and open it, peeking one eye through the slightly open door.
Through the gap, you see Zhongli on the couch, one leg over the other, and a candle lightly flickering on the table besides the arm of the couch. He is reading a book, and flipping through the pages slowly. You look behind you, reconsidering going to “bug” him.. but the dark room behind you makes you more scared. You then open the door, and close it behind you, as you slowly, and shyly walk towards the arm of the couch, opposite to Zhongli. Your eyes peering over the arm of the couch, waiting to be acknowledged.
It only takes a few seconds for Zhongli to notice you, he smiles softly as he sets the book he was reading beside him.
“Little one? Is something the matter?” He asks in a soft, and gentle tone.
“..'s too.. dark n m room..” you whisper, your little voice a bit shaky.
Zhongli gives a soft ‘aw’, and pats his thigh, gesturing you to come over. “Come now, dear. We wouldn’t want you to be scared now, would we?” He asks, as he pulls you up and onto his lap. He adjusts your blankie to go around your shoulders, while still letting you hold part of your blankie in your fist. He gently pets your hair, humming a soft Liyue Lullaby, that you had heard before… from many of the Nation's citizens. Before you knew it, your body was at ease, and you were already falling asleep.
The candle flickering and clicker in the background. Zhongli held you, and kept you warm and safe the entire time. Eventually, you fell asleep, and so did he…

Caregiver!Kaveh and Little/Regressor!Reader
The sound of the thunderstorm outside mixed with your noticeably dark room has left you scared. You are curled up and sniffling… warm tears running down your cheeks as the overwhelming and scary environment surrounds you. You hug your stuffy to your chest tightly, trying to make the scary go away… but it doesn’t seem to work. The sound of foot steps going down the hall jerk your attention.. a soft whimper through your sniffles escapes you.. as you look at the door. You see a dim light approaching your door, and you hug your stuffie tighter. The door nob jitters as it’s turned… and the dim light enters through the door ad it’s slowly guided open.
A familiar figure stands in the door way, it’s Kaveh, your Caregiver, holding a candle.
“Sweetheart? Are you alright?” Kaveh's voice seemed to make the previously scary room a bit brighter.
You sit up in your bed, sniffling, still big tears running down your cheeks. Your hiccuped a little through your tears and shook your head. You reached your arms out to him, your hair messy and sticking to your cheeks from the tears. Kaveh sighed softly as he set the candle on your night stand, and picked you up. He held you firmly, and ran his hand slowly up and down your back.
“Why all the tears, my dear?” He cooed softly, resting his cheek against the side of your head. He bounced slowly and subtly up and down, trying to soothe you. “You’re gonna need a bed/crib in my room won’t you, baby?” He asked with a gentle giggle. You give a little whine, feeling as if you were being teased, but even so… that wasn’t a bad idea in your mind.
He comforts you for a little longer, until your tears have finally calmed. He then sighs softly, “What made you cry so much, hm?” He asked with concern.
“'S too dark” you babbled quietly into his shoulder, your hand still clung to his shoulder. He nods slowly, listening and thinking.
“Why not sleep In my room tonight, to avoid anymore scares. Would that help?” He asked gently, giving you the option to say no. You didn’t like sleeping alone, so you nodded eagerly, and subconsciously started sucking on your thumb. He chuckled softly. “Alright.”
With that, he carried you to his room, snuggling you, and keeping you warm and safe for the rest of the night. <3
