Xue Yang grins when Zichen helps him with his PJs. It can get a little chilly in their cabin at night.
He leans into his husband's arms and kisses his shoulder. "I love you," he murmurs with a smile. He then takes Zichen's hand and tugs him towards their bedroom.
Their pajamas are soft - perfect for touching and holding. Zichen returns the grin and softens when his shoulder is kissed.
"I love you too." he holds Xue Yang's hand snugly, grabbing onto a hair-tie before he is pulled from the bathroom. Their bed has plenty of blankets - and a few furs. Zichen sits down on the mattress and pulls his hair into a quick braid.
Xue Yang flops onto their bed and stretches out. He doesn't bother tying his hair up - it always ends up a mess anyway. He reaches out to tug at Zichen's arm.
"Come lay down with me. I'm cold," he says in a playfully pitiful tone of voice.
Xue Yang chuckles and nods. "Mmm, of course we will. I can count on like... two hands the times we've slept apart since our wedding." Which is definitely not a complaint.
Xue Yang grins. "Mm, you can't. I'd be so sad and you'd feel sooo bad." He giggles and nuzzles into Zichen's chest. He jokes, but of course, if Zichen ever needs his space, Xue Yang will give it.
"I wouldn't be able to sleep at all." Zichen kisses the top of Xue Yang's head, "Then again, without you, I have a difficult time sleeping anyway. You know I call you at night just to hear your voice."
"Mmmm..." Xue Yang hums in satisfaction and closes his eyes as he burrows even closer. It doesn't take long for him to fall asleep, warm and safe in his husband's arms.
Zichen listens to Xue Yang's steady breathing, soothed to sleep after a few minutes. Sleep isn't difficult to find when he is with his husband. This is where he is at peace. This is where he belongs.
In the morning, Lizhu comes into the room with Jiangzai on her back.
It's earlier than Xue Yang likes to wake up when their daemons enter the bedroom. They always leave early for these kind of trips, but that doesn't mean Xue Yang has to like it! Fortunately, all it takes is coffee, food and kisses from his husband to cure his bad morning mood.
"Ugh. Why are you so cheerful?" he grumbles at Lizhu and burrows into Zichen's arms, trying to hide from the early morning sun filtering in through the curtains.
"Trip time, trip time!" Lizhu nudges Xue Yang with her nose to be a gremlin, her fluffy tail wagging. Even with her playfulness, she is very gentle with Jiangzai. The kitty won't be jerked around.
Zichen makes an amused sound and starts kissing over Xue Yang's face.
"I'll get the coffee ready. Jiangzai, come snuggle with our A-Yang, hm?"
"Then Lizhu, lay beside A-Yang and be good." Zichen orders. The wolf hops up onto the bed with ease and lays down beside Xue Yang, offering her warm fur. See? She's a good girl!
Zichen smiles at the trio and kisses the top of Jiangzai's head.
Lizhu licks Xue Yang's cheek and snuggles close to him. She is an excellent provider of warmth in the wilderness too! Even the horse will cuddle up to her.
"I'm not bad at all." she announces.
Zichen rubs under Jiangzai's jaw and whispers to her affectionately.
"Good girl."
Then he heads to the kitchen and makes coffee and breakfast.
She really is! Xue Yang does love curling up with Lizhu when it's cold. He falls into a light slumber there, but when the smells of coffee and food start to come wafting through from the kitchen... well, he starts to wake back up.

"Ziiichen," Xue Yang whines, "I'm being terrorized." Though he's soon placated a little by the kisses and the promise of coffee.
"But I'm comfortable," Jiangzai says with a sigh.
