cuddling up close to xander, zoe’s eyes were closed, a gentle smile crossing their pink lips while their arms wrap around his waist, head gently resting onto his chest while they focused on his heartbeat. it’s been a while since the last time they could actually rest together with him, and every moment they both could share, suddenly became magical.
xander’s chuckle felt like music to their ears and one passed them as well, a gentle giggle given with the brightest of smiles— one that easily slipped, unlike with other people. their hand reached to scratch behind xander’s ear, gently tracing the short hair in the area. “ i don’t know, ” their hereditary british accent shows a little for the first time in years in between her words, without zoe noticing it. their nose nuzzles the middle of his chest gently before returning to just rest. “ you’re kind of squishy, and your cuddles and hugs are amazing, really. ” they let out another soft chuckle, feeling her cheeks grow pink with embarrassment. “ also, you smell really nice. like, i don’t know— home. ” was that too sappy? probably yes. sleepiness was definitely kicking in.
