zombie!childe thoughts on the mind again...... vvvv small blurb under the cut whilst I take a break from writing yan!rid ><
Oh even in death, zombie!childe is nothing short of romantic. His heart may have stopped short long ago but around you, he swears he can feel it jackrabbit in his cracked ribcage! (ʃƪ＾3＾）♡
Perhaps, the heavens reanimating him from beyond the grave meant that they were giving him a second chance! Or at least he likes to think that, as he lays by your side in your shared bed. Zombies don't really need to sleep. Which just equates to making up for all the lost time he was supposed to have together with you. Cold digits find yours and Childe twines your fingers with his. (Or as best as he can at least. Curse you, rigor mortis.) All in all, it's a peaceful (after)life.
Though, he so dearly wishes that he had tied the knot with you prior to his passing :(
The bed dips as you slowly stir and jostle and turn to face him. He wonders if you knew how darling you look blinking away the sleepiness that clings to you.
"Can't sleep? What's wrong?" You ask while fighting back a yawn, knowing full well he doesn't need to sleep. You're concerned for him, he thinks, you're too sweet on him.
"Nothing." Lying doesn't work when he feels your grip on his hand tighten. Nothing escapes you it seems.
"Mmm. Just thinking about... Before." Both of you know what that refers to and he notes how your brows furrow slightly. This time, Childe shifts so his entire body is turned towards you, both his hands moving to clasp your one that he was holding earlier.
"In sickness, and in health. Even past death, we shall never part," he whispers out, vows solemn and something sacred. Kissing the tips of your fingers, he stops after the fourth, the ring finger. Unhinging his jaw, he feels your other hand go to caress his cheek. (Or what's left of it really.)
He won't break past skin. Nothing would infect you, he wouldn't, not without your permission anyway. But he can't lie and said he's never entertained the thought of spending an eternity together with you. What bliss.
