| S/O who constantly makes jokes about their chronic pain condition

Character(s): Zhongli and Raiden/Ei

TW: Chronic pain, chronic condition (generally unspecified), mediation mention, betting, Xiao spoilers (? - Minor, if it isn't already common knowledge, idk)

Notes: Non-binary reader || We're not gonna talk about the fact that I went to sleep at 7 in the morning the day that you sent in this request m'kay 😌 But make sure to take care of yourself and hydrate too!!

Zhongli

He tries his best to joke along with you but he's struggling

He's already aware of chronic conditions because he makes quite the effort to learn as much as he can about humans in general and various area of study such as medicine and is more than aware of things like Xiao's karmic debt in regards to which he already finds himself very concerned about so it's very alarming to have you joking about it all of the time

He ends up developing a habit of noting what hurts and when and how often for you and will otherwise learn how to respond quickly if your pains are sudden and irregular

He's not actually too fond of the idea of you joking about your pain but, if it makes it easier to deal with, he'll leave it be but he does make an effort to try and lessen the pains with the help of anyone he can find

"I bet it'll be my joints that screw me over today. I bet 500 mora on it. Hey, Hu Tao, what do you think?" Yeah he's definitely not too on board with the fact that you manage to rope Hu Tao - and very easily for that matter - into betting mora on it but what can he do against the two of you when you're... The two of you?

He never stops you from betting on it - not that he could - but he puts all of his skills to use in ensuring your comfort. If you don't want him coddling you, then he's doing it discreetly but Baizhu will wring Zhongli dry of all of his mora and Zhongli will be more than willing. You will likely never know this

Unlike his mora, he'll never forget things like medication when he's out with you

Raiden

She has not been out in the world for a WHILE so hearing you joking about your pain throws her off no matter how many times she's heard it

She has her plane of Euthymia to remove her from feeling things like pain - physical, emotional, the pain of loss - so she's more alarmed than Zhongli at your constant jokes

Not to mention that she's emotionally inadept and most definitely is not accustomed to the idea of people using jokes to mask their pain

She can't really comprehend the idea of pain having no cause, or none that's visible at least so she's at a genuine loss of what to do and constantly asking Miko for advice which consists of both really good advice considering her being an immortal familiar but also just "Perhaps you should lock them in their room so you can monitor their condition."

Ei doesn't but she does consider it for a split second

She's almost painfully aware of your mortality so, while an immortal would be able to get used to it and just live with it without much issue, you're life was much too different and she's definitely rubbed the wrong way by the fact that you're having to spend your life with the pay and have it getting in the way of basic activities

She gets a lot more defensive over you in general and does tend to be rather straight forward with how she'll treat you and your condition but she doesn't stop the betting. She doesn't even realise that you probably shouldn't do that until Miko keeps denying your encouragement to place bets with you
