Getting ready
Zhongli is very pretty when he gets ready in the morning, and you make it veeeery clear to him.

It’s a beautiful morning — the sun is gradually ascending over the mountains, casting a golden shimmer on them, as the sweetest birds chitter and chirp as they flutter about the blue, blue sky. A pleasant breeze drifts through the air, bringing with it the scent of flowers.
But who cares about all that when Zhongli is sitting right there at his vanity table, being the prettiest wonder of the morning?
“Darling, darling, slow down,” murmurs Zhongli with a soft chuckle, watching you in the vanity mirror as you practically zoom around the room. “You’ll tire yourself out, or get hurt.”
You barrel over to him and vibrate on the spot. “You’re sooooo beautifuuuuuuuul!”
Another laugh escapes the lips of your husband, and to you it’s the most serene music.
“You have seen me get ready for the day numerous times already, my love.”
“But still! You’re so pretty I don’t know what to do with myself!” To prove your point, you squat on the floor and screech like a little gremlin. Smiling and shaking his head, Zhongli lets you be yourself while he continues his morning routine.
You start to roll around, screaming about how he is the most ethereal man in the world, using every positive adjective you can think of — stunning, beautiful, pulchritudinous. Zhongli carries on, pretending he doesn’t have the faintest blush on his face. Every now and then he keeps an eye on you in the mirror, making sure you don’t bump into something and hurt yourself.
As Zhongli finishes applying his eyeliner carefully, he hears you whoop and cheer from the floor as you roll back to him. To be honest, he finds the whole ordeal hilarious and amusing — but above all, flattering. He sees the way you’re utterly enamoured with him, even as he’s simply doing his daily routine, and to him there is no purer form of love.
When he is done, he fastens his earring and then reaches out and pulls you onto his lap – which only makes you more excitable as you wiggle like a lovesick puppy.
“Pretty Zhongli! Pretty pretty!”
He gazes at you affectionately through the mirror. You meet his eyes, already fiercely blushing at the way he’s watching you, his cheek pressed against yours.
“And yet you are the more radiant one here,” says Zhongli, hands holding you in place as he plants a soft kiss on your lips. This does the trick – you melt like candy.
He plants more and more kisses on your forehead, your cheeks, your neck, all the while whispering between kisses how pretty you are.
