{the sequel that nobody wanted. venti has been replaced by heizou, i’m so sorry. part one here}
⟢ characters: arataki itto, thoma, kaeya, diluc, childe, zhongli, shikanoin heizou, kaedehara kazuha, gorou, kamisato ayato, xiao
Tumblr media
❀ arataki itto - spread out everywhere and taking up the maximum amount of space possible, absolutely horrific to sleep next to. completely annihilates bedding, so don’t even attempt to cover him with a blanket bc it’ll be at his feet and half off the bed within minutes. HEAVY sleeper (actually canon). be ready to fight for your life bc if he’s dreaming intensely he’ll definitely be throwing punches and kicking. sleeps with his eyes open occasionally (also canon) so also prepare yourself for a heart attack if you wake up in the middle of the night to him staring wide eyed at nothing. sleeps in nothing but his underwear bc he’s a furnace and radiates body heat. talks in his sleep, mostly mumbling about onikabuto or defeating “that stupid kujou tengu”
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ thoma - teyvat’s number one malewife, perfect in every way and that includes sleeping. sleeps on his side or back and doesn’t toss and turn much in the night. if you sleep with him, he’ll unconsciously snuggle into you and wrap his arms around you bc even as he sleeps this angel wants to make people feel loved and safe. for this reason he is also never little spoon. sleeps a healthy 8 hours every night and makes his bed every morning. i’d also like to point out that this man’s bedding is pristine and he sleeps with a flat sheet like the respectable adult he is. took up sleeping in jinbei after moving to inazuma.
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ kaeya - if he’s coming back from angel’s share drunk off his ass, you best believe he’s sleeping on the first flat surface he sees. if he makes it to his bed, you’ll find a trail of random articles of clothing leading from the front door to his bedroom. belt here, gloves there, one boot there. literally just falls face down in bed half undressed and doesn’t move for the next 4-6 hours. however, sober kaeya is much more dignified. likes really fluffy, lightweight bedding with lots of pillows and keeps the window open at night to feel the cool breeze and fresh air. sleeps shirtless in shorts or joggers bc he likes the cold. mostly sleeps on his stomach or side with the blanket around his waist. very light sleeper and has trouble dropping his guard even when alone. combs his hair every night before bed and leaves it out of his signature sideswept ponytail. doesn’t sleep in his eyepatch so if you have the privilege of waking before him in the morning, UTILIZE THIS CHANCE. sweep his bangs out of his face and you’ll be met with a sleepy set of the most gorgeous mismatched eyes. seriously, this man is ethereal with his icy blue eye on his left and yellow-gold on his right and a set of long, thick eyelashes as the cherry on top. he’s quick to swat your hand away though. he may come across as confident and flirtatious, but it’s a facade. he’s actually quite shy—especially when it comes to his scar. the burn extends from his right brow, over his eye, and stops at the top of his cheekbone. it’s nasty and ugly, he thinks, but he can’t bring himself to hate it. it’s proof of his battle with his brother, and a symbol of atonement for a life of lies. he keeps it covered though, for diluc’s sake. he doesn’t need to be reminded of that time, nor to feel guilt over it. you can only press a gentle kiss to his right eye, over his fringe, and hope that one day he can forgive himself.
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ diluc - the most eligible bachelor in mondstadt sleeps in a plush king bed and a lavish set of satin pajamas. has a nightly ritual that consists of polishing his claymore and taking a hot shower. he has a head of wild curls, so he likes to shower before bed and braid it while it’s damp so it doesn’t get too crazy while sleeping. well, that is to say he gets to it before adelinde has finished her evening cleaning duties. even in his 20s, she still insists on combing his hair before bed just as she did with him and kaeya when they were children. sleeps on his back or side. the opposite of kaeya in the way that his room has to be almost uncomfortably warm for him to sleep soundly. this caused many a quarrel when they were kids since they shared a room, but their differences seemed to magically disappear when they slept snuggled up to either side of master crepus. for this reason, he secretly likes when you snuggle up to his side so he can feel your warmth <3
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ gorou - sleeps curled up in a ball hugging his tail, i didn’t say it mihoyo did. the absolute most adorable lil bean ever when he sleeps. his ears twitch and he whimpers when he’s having an intense dream. LOVES sleeping with his head in your lap and having his ears stroked, although he’d never admit it (he’s the mighty general gorou of watatsumi after all!). sleeps in a loose tee/shorts. pretty light sleeper from having to be on alert at all times during the war—so yes one of his ears definitely does that cute radar thing dogs do when they hear noises while they sleep. he’s used to sleeping outdoors, so he finds something strangely comforting about curling up in a soft bed of grass to sleep.
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ kamisato ayato - the sly yashiro commissioner sleeps on a plush futon in the finest silk yukata. he may be a bit of a bastard, but no one can deny he is incredibly hard working and often doesn’t go to bed until late into the evening. he is often chastised by thoma when he notices the soft light of ayato’s desk lamp peeking under the shoji doors at ungodly hours of the night. there’s many nights that he simply falls asleep with his head on his desk, documents scattered everywhere and a half empty cup of tea to the side. he’ll wake in the wee hours of the morning and move to his bed, but he really doesn’t mind. he works hard so his dearest little sister can live relatively unburdened by the duties of their clan, even though she insists she do her share of responsibilities. nights can be cold and lonely when ayato gets like this, but you forgive him as soon as you feel his arms wrap around you and his nose nuzzle into your neck once he finally comes to bed <3
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ kaedehara kazuha - there is nothing more peaceful to kazuha than falling asleep in a high up place aboard the alcor on a night when the sea is calm. loves the soothing feeling of the sea breeze on his skin and watching the light of the moon glitter across the ocean surface. if you’re with him, he enjoys having you sleep on his lap so he can play with your hair and watch your serene expression. he’s not one that sleeps very much, as he’s often lost in his thoughts. as much as he wishes to leave the past in the past, he can’t help but have regrets about how he left the kaedehara clan behind. if he has the chance to sleep in a proper bed, he sleeps in a less elaborate version of his usual outfit with his sword and vision close by. before he finally laid tomo’s vision to rest at his grave, he often fell asleep clutching it in his hands.
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ xiao - the vigilant yaksha does not sleep unless he physically cannot stay awake any longer. he loathes sleep, because it’s where he sees the things he wishes to forget the most. if he does, it’s usually atop the roof of wangshu inn where he has a high vantage point of the surrounding area should any danger arise. if he manages to sleep, it’s incredibly fitful. his screams echo into the night when he has night terrors of his time as the evil god’s bloodhound, and he sobs softly when he dreams about his fallen yaksha brethren. he hates sleep, because he can’t control the emotions that arise when he’s unconscious. he only knows when he wakes with a hoarse voice and tear tracks staining his cheeks. for this reason (and his karmic debt), it is highly unlikely he would ever sleep with another person. if he were to, he would keep as much distance as possible between himself and you. that is, until he falls asleep. take your pick at what wakes you in the dead of night: his thrashing, screams, or cries. be patient with him, he’ll eventually calm down enough to where you can gently guide him to rest his head on your chest. it’s endearing how he almost immediately clings to you like you’re his lifeline and how his screams die out and tears dry up. by early morning he’s gone without a trace, but it’s okay—it’s enough for you knowing he had at least a few hours of peaceful sleep.
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ zhongli - look, i don’t want to be stereotypical here but i can’t help it: peepaw zhongli has the sleeping habits reflective of his age. early to bed and early to rise. contrary to popular belief, he is not a chronically mora-less and potentially homeless bum. however, he would never create mora for himself because hello, the economy! earns a living fair and square as wangsheng funeral parlor’s consultant and from his side hustles as an advisor. that being said, he does have quite the upscale, traditional liyuean home nestled in the mountainside of mt. tianheng overlooking liyue harbor. before bed, he has a cup of herbal lavender tea on his porch like the grandpa he is. sometimes he reads a book, sometimes he’s content just watching over the nation he built with his own hands. sleeps in traditional style silk pajamas (his favorite is a set with red chinese dragons printed on it). naturally, he sleeps on silk bedding as well. usually doesn’t take his ponytail out to sleep, just combs it and removes the ornament from it because he hates getting it tangled while he sleeps. sleeps on his back with the covers up to his chest. not opposed to spooning, but adores having you sleep on his chest. he can get REALLY warm though due to his dragon nature which doesn’t bother him but is admittedly uncomfortable to his sleeping partners, so he keeps his home nice and cool. like i said, he wakes up early to do the same thing he did the night before sitting on his porch, but this time with an energizing citrus tea brew in his cup. wakes you up with a hot cup of the same tea and a light breakfast of rice and broiled fish because it’s the only thing he knows how to cook. i can't properly describe to you the feeling of serenity mornings with morax brings, he’s just absolutely lovely.
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ childe - this ginger menace. like itto, he only sleeps in his underwear bc living in snezhnaya has made him essentially immune to the cold. he’s either sprawled out across the bed or rolled up in the blankets up to his chin like a lil harp seal in a burrito, there is no in between. sometimes sleepwalks and he’s absolutely hilarious. once you witnessed him get out of bed only to have his foot tangled in the covers, causing him to fall flat on his face. not only did he not wake up, he actually fell asleep right there on the floor after muttering “aw, why’d you trip me like that xiangsheng?”. has to sleep with a light on bc he’s quite literally afraid of the dark after his time in the abyss. if he’s sleeping with you, congrats you are now part of his harp seal burrito. seriously, this man is so handsy and HAS to be touching you to sleep. pathetically whines when you get up in the middle of the night for whatever reason. loves loves loves spooning, even hooks his leg around you and nuzzles his face into the crook of your neck so he can be as close to you as humanly possible. very cute and needy <3
⊱ ────── ⋆⋅☽☾⋅⋆ ────── ⊰
❀ shikanoin heizou - the flirty tenryou detective sleeps in one of his slutty sleeveless shirts and shorts. he often stays up late into the evening working on cases and has trouble shutting his mind off to sleep. for this reason, he took up exercising before bed in an attempt to tire himself out. there’s definitely been times where he wakes from a dead sleep and rushes to his desk, realizing he’d just cracked the case he’d been working on. sleeps on a futon, but finds something very cozy about falling asleep under the kotatsu, especially in the winter. moves around a lot in his sleep, but moves around less when he has someone to hold. another sleep talker, usually mumbling about one of his cases. adores sleeping with his head on your chest and his arms around your waist. stroke his hair like that and he’ll be out cold in minutes. keeps a dream journal that he writes in every morning as soon as he wakes up. will shush you if you try to talk to him during this time, but you forgive him bc he looks so cute with his tongue out and brow furrowed in concentration trying to remember the details of his dream. he’s so intelligent it’s almost frightening, how merely analyzing his dreams can lead him to solving a case as if they contained the clues themselves. i want to note the amount of coffee this man consumes is insane, and he drinks it at all hours. maybe cut back on the caffeine, doushin?

"why does it feel like we're writing letters to each other in the 80's" I WHEEZED SO HARD-
oh no wonder, i thought i heard a familiar voice sobbing praising kamisato ayato's elegance and handsome face a few cells away, that was you huh /j
LMAO i thought the puppy spirit was influenced from that voiceline that's gold slfklsdj and i'm sure he finds it very adorable of you whenever your sassy side comes out, especially when it comes to interacting with him. i'd imagine he would return the sass in a graceful and ✨elegant✨ way. it becomes a contest to see who'll blush and give in first :p
i love love love how cool the air was but gosh yes it was very very windy ahsjsjdaldj i've always lived in tropical countries with the average temp of about 26+ degrees celcius so i had my jacket on 95% of the time lmao and yes there were loads of food - i can imagine you drooling over them, cause i did too eheh
i don't know ;w; i am so torn shldsksjsl if we're looking at team comps i should probably get tortellini archons knows i have too many anemo characters already.... but i also want the mean lil skrunkly harbinger man....
RIGHT YES I FELT THAT TOO he was so helpful in the last event, so i am crossing my fingers they'll put his rerun soon!!! 🤞🏻
the dinner table will be a battlefield in itself cause i need to make sure he's treating you right ok do not stop me (ง •̀_•́)ง
gosh yeah the aiming part of bow characters is partly why i don't usually pull for them... using a controller that has drifting issues in that circumstances is a nightmare :D
YES omg i heard about that too... and i have given up on the onikabutos for now in favor of slime hunting cause i want to max xiao and zhongli's talents first lol why is one day only 24 hours i need more time pls them beetles are so hard to find hyv what do you have against beetles smh
hehe good good anything for my adopted son <3
the nobleman language made me feel like a dignified lady writing to a penpal across the seven seas lol
i think i'm okay now after a few nights' rest hehe i hope your day is going great so far <3 and my tea adventure is over for now bc i finished the box hskdksdj i will definitely be looking at other tea samples after i make some progress with my older teas >:3
waiting for ayato to bail me out even if he is the reason i'm here <//3 i shall come for you soon, rin jie, i'll save you with... the power of money. *pushes zhongli away softly* (/j)
THE COINCIDENCE 😭 like i already knew i embodied the energy of a puppy, but i didn't realize ayato had a voiceline about being a dog person??? does this mean ayalia was written in the stars. (/lh) and yes, i can imagine he'd call my sassy side cute and then tap on my nose HNGHSJJFJE
i see, my country is also like that! >:) four seasons? nope, only summer and monsoon here, love <//3 going to the highlands was the only way i could ever experience a chill like the one overseas, hehe~ but you're more of a jacket gal, aren't you, rin jie?? i'm more of a sweater gal, so we complete each other LOLLLL jackets 🤝 sweaters
TORTELLINI HELPFEIJDKE are you the secret gatekeeper of the infamous childe bullying community?? 🤨 because if so, let me join (/j) ngl, i just recently watched his collected miscellany and i can't believe i'm saying this but... why he kinda cute 🚶 i'm vv sure you already saw the simping tomfoolery in my priv help but rn, it's safe to say that i will be pulling for tartaglia! but if i even sniff an ayato rerun in v3.4 or nearer patches, then tartaglia will unfortunately realize that he'd be second to my beloved husband <//3 are you going to try your luck at tortellini's banner first?? hehe, perhaps, you can follow the mindset of: if tartaglia comes home, then he comes home. if not, aight, then the little angy anemo harbinger shall. >:)
the scarabs are actually one of the reasons i'm kinda glad that i lost the 50/50 on cyno's banner 😭 but i see that you're spending your resources on your hubby and our grumpy adeptus, good luck! <3 AND FR, LIKE WHY CAN'T THE DOMAIN I WANT TO FARM LAST A FEW DAYS OR SO. PLEASE DON'T GO YET. #easierlife (/j)
i'm glad you're feeling better <3 i haven't been on a plane yet, but i'm sure the jetlag is really smth 😭 and you already finished the box, i see! i remember my intuition telling me the mango-flavored one sounds super good, is it??? 👀 me and my strawberry tea are just chilling, hehe.
