Hello! Can I request Jiaoqiu and Dan Heng x reader (separately) getting a tuskpir to help them sleep? And the reader starts to get a bit jealous because they cuddle the tuskpir when they fall asleep instead of them (the reader knows that it's silly and tries to hide it, but it's pretty evident)?
Please and thank you!

It had been a long day, and the battlefield’s weight seemed to linger on the mind. Jiaoqiu’s gentle hands worked meticulously, preparing the Tuskpir, its soft ears and soothing aura creating an unusual sense of comfort as you lay beside him. He’d already wrapped himself in the warmth of the creature’s presence, holding it close as he rested against the creature. The Tuskpir’s presence was both calming and healing—its special ability to absorb anxiety and soothe nerves made it a perfect companion for anyone struggling with the chaos of the world.
You had noticed how Jiaoqiu, despite his internal turmoil, found peace in the creature’s embrace. Its elongated proboscis brushed gently against his skin, its presence offering a brief respite from the pain and heartbreak he so often carried. He exhaled softly, a serene smile on his face, as if for once, his heart could find the peace it longed for.
Yet, as you sat beside him, a faint sense of jealousy crept into your chest. You couldn’t help but notice how Jiaoqiu, even with his eyes closed, seemed so at ease, his fingers caressing the Tuskpir’s ears like it was a trusted friend, a companion he could rely on. Your own heart twisted slightly, a strange mix of affection and insecurity rising in you.
"Is the Tuskpir helping?" you asked, your voice betraying a hint of unease.
Jiaoqiu smiled softly, his eyes hidden behind the weight of his memories and the long days that had passed. "Yes, its presence is calming. It brings peace… even when the mind is restless." He turned his face towards you, though his eyes remained closed. "It’s strange. I never thought something so small could provide such comfort."
You let out a small sigh, trying to hide the jealousy bubbling in your chest. "It’s good you’ve found something that brings you peace."
A brief pause settled between you two, and you could feel Jiaoqiu’s awareness of your emotions—his perceptiveness was uncanny. "Would you like to join me?" he asked, his voice gentle. "The Tuskpir can soothe more than just my heart, you know."
You blinked, surprised by the offer, but the warmth in his tone reached deep inside you. Still, the feeling of the creature cuddling close to Jiaoqiu’s chest lingered uncomfortably in your mind.
It wasn’t until you finally let go of your thoughts and settled beside him, allowing the Tuskpir’s gentle warmth to envelop you too, that the discomfort started to fade. Jiaoqiu’s fingers brushed against your hand in a reassuring touch. Maybe you weren’t the one who needed the creature’s comfort.
Maybe, just maybe, you needed him to guide you through the storm in your own heart.
The day had been long, filled with the quiet hum of the Astral Express traveling through the vast expanse of the stars. Dan Heng had found his usual refuge in solitude, but tonight something was different. He hadn’t looked tired, but the tension in his shoulders suggested he was far from peaceful. That’s when you suggested the Tuskpir, a small creature known to ease troubled minds, especially when the burdens of the heart seemed too heavy to carry.
Dan Heng, ever so reserved, gave a small nod in response, accepting your offer with quiet gratitude. The Tuskpir, soft and warm, curled up next to him as you both settled by a corner, its shell glimmering under the soft light. The soothing hum of the Tuskpir’s presence filled the air, and Dan Heng, though reluctant at first, allowed himself to relax. The creature nestled closer, its body warm and inviting.
You watched the scene with a strange feeling. The Tuskpir, its long proboscis brushing against Dan Heng’s arm as he leaned back against the wall, seemed to be a silent comfort in his otherwise solitary life. It was clear he’d never openly admit it, but the way his tense posture softened in the creature's embrace suggested a deep, unspoken gratitude.
But the longer you watched, the more something shifted inside you. A subtle sense of jealousy began to take root. You had never seen him so… open. The Tuskpir had his full attention now, and you couldn't help but feel a small pang of discomfort, watching how Dan Heng seemed so at peace with the creature. You didn’t know why, but a feeling of possessiveness crept in.
"Dan Heng…" you began, your voice a little quieter than usual.
He turned his head slightly toward you, sensing your unease even before you spoke. His eyes, though distant, had a quiet understanding. "It helps ease my mind," he said softly, his voice a little more vulnerable than you were used to hearing.
You tried to mask the feeling in your chest, though you were sure your expression betrayed it. "I can see that."
A small silence settled between you two. You noticed how Dan Heng’s fingers absently brushed against the Tuskpir's ear, his usual restraint almost forgotten. The jealousy, though faint, lingered within you.
"Do you want to join us?" Dan Heng finally asked, his voice as calm as ever, but there was a subtle warmth beneath the surface. "The Tuskpir is known to help both the body and mind."
Your heart fluttered slightly at his offer, the tension you’d been holding onto beginning to ease. Maybe it wasn’t the Tuskpir you felt jealous of, but the softness in Dan Heng that you had longed to see. Perhaps, just perhaps, you could share this peace with him.
As you moved closer to him, the Tuskpir nestled between you both, its warmth enveloping you in its gentle embrace. The quiet stillness of the moment felt different now, a bond growing between the two of you—silent, unspoken, but deeply felt. You knew that, in the end, it wasn’t the Tuskpir that had made Dan Heng smile softly to himself. It was the quiet understanding and the trust that had formed between you both in the calm of the stars.
