#yall have me for as long as jing yuan has a hold on me best fren 🥳🥳🥳

[generalsmemories]

Alright, I think we all need to stop with the blame. The fic was tagged correctly and we all made the choice to read it. If this blame game goes on much longer I fear that sweet Naru may never want to write angst again (or write at all!) and that's not a future I want

oh no no I'll write angst again no worries 🤠 I find this very fun to be honest I just didn't expect that the engagement would be this much so I was a bit taken aback by the amount of verbal feedback 🫡

I know y'all mean well and seeing the amount of engagement on a silly lil fic I wrote makes me very happy angst or not 😔✊

Jing Yuan smiles when he feels you dozing off against him. He wishes he could tend to you earlier, but unfortunately, his duty comes first. The piles of papers won't go away on their own.

But his heavy armor surely wasn't the best pillow for your head. As gentle as possible, he guides your head towards his lap, beckoning for Qingzu to bring over a blanket to drape over you.

As he works, he finds himself absently petting your head, threading your hair between his fingers. It's in moments in these that he looks down at you so fondly, so grateful for your patience. It wasn't easy being the lover of such a busy general.

He'd be sure to make it up to you once you awoke. For now, he needed to get these papers done.

Blade glares at Kafka when he catches her snickering at him. Of course, this doesn't deter the woman, but Blade has long given up trying to get her to do anything.

His arm wrapped around you is steady, securely holding you in place as he stares off into space. Your body is warm against his skin, starkly contrasting his colder skin. He can feel you breathing, your heart beating steadily.

It warms him inside, knowing that you trust him so much as to be that vulnerable with him. It tugs at his lips, allowing for the slightest of smiles to slip by before he's back to normal.

When you awaken, his shoulder is definitely numb, and his arm asleep. But he doesn't mind. As long as you are happy, that is enough for him.

Dan Heng stiffens into a statue the moment your head falls onto him. As a soft pink dusts his face, Dan Heng is determined not to move an inch. He's even stopped turning the pages in his book, as if it would rouse you from your slumber.

It takes him a good fifteen minutes before Dan Heng gets used to it. Once he does, he can act as though nothing had happened. He's only embarrassed when he sees the other Express crew walking by you two, him giving a look to March and the Trailblazer in particular.

Eventually, he'll have to get up to tend to the Archives, documenting whatever the Express had encountered this time. But he makes sure to bundle you up first, carrying you to his mattress and tucking you in.

And if no one's watching, perhaps he'll press a soft kiss to your forehead.

Luocha can only sigh knowingly when you doze off in the middle of the train. It's been a tiring day of traveling, with the two of you having to run across the planet to meet with all of the customers. Not to mention, many of them weren't exactly the most agreeable.

He'd love to close his eyes and sleep alongside you, but a traveling merchant doesn't have those luxuries. He may just be paranoid, but he'd hate to wake up to find all his possessions gone. So he stays awake, tiredly watching the screens as you near your stop.

But by the time you do reach your stop, Luocha doesn't have the heart to wake you up anymore. You look so peaceful, so at ease when you're asleep. So he sucks it up, picks up his coffin, and throws you over his shoulder. It might've not been the most dignified way of carrying you, but he only had one arm.

So when you wake up the next day in your hotel room, don't be surprised if Luocha wants to stay in bed for just a few more minutes. He definitely deserves it after that whole ordeal.

The fucker doesn't even notice. Sampo's probably typing away on his phone, tricking another poor, innocent soul into trading their life's expense away to him. Engrossed in his dealings, he jumps from his seat the moment he lands a deal, unknowingly causing your demise.

Your head hits the bench with a loud thud. You're instantly awake, and incredibly grouchy. Sampo flinches, guilt wracking him as he realizes what had happened. He's immediately at your side, whispering out apologies, wiping away any tears and cradling where your head had hurt.

And then his phone dings and he's off to scam someone again.

Don't worry - he'll make it up to you one way or another. But he's still sleeping on the couch tonight.

Gepard falls with you. Of course, this happens when he's off-duty, when he's not having to keep his guard up. You're probably in your shared home, watching a movie, reading, or just talking to one another.

Once you start sleeping, Gepard's instincts come in and he's sleepy too. He lays his head on top of yours, and he's out like a light. The two of you stay like that for a long time, bundled in blankets and basking in each other's presence. Gepard may shift a bit in his sleep to make things more comfortable, but overall, your position barely changes.

You'll actually have to be the one to wake up in the middle of the night, and figure out how you're going to lug a giant like Gepard back to your bedroom. But you're quite honestly too tired for that, so in the end, you choose to shut off the TV, turn off the lights, and cuddle Gepard on the couch.

Safe to say, it was one of the most comfortable sleeps you've ever had.

Nanook continues with business as per usual, only quieter this time. They're a thousand times larger than you, so you can just rest easy in the crook of their neck. Be careful, though, you don't want to touch the molten gold that flows from the cracks in their skin.

As they speak their orders to their underlings, their voice is always in an uncharacteristic whisper. If anyone dares to speak louder than Nanook, they can say goodbye to their way of life, because Nanook is perfectly willing to decimate anyone who is loud enough to wake you up (talk to them about this later, they need to work on their trigger-happy tendencies).

But when they aren't busy destroying worlds, they'll watch you sleep in the palm of their hands. Nanook, as an Aeon, doesn't need to sleep to function. So they'll watch you in this moment of vulnerability with the faintest bit of curiosity. You're so small compared to them, so much so that they could just crush you with their fingers.

Perhaps why they've found themselves enamored with you. Because despite how dangerous they are, you choose to stay besides them, choose to trust them.

Yaoshi has to physically stop themself from squealing out loud. You're just so cute, so endearing. They want to just pick you up in their arms and squeeze you. But they won't, because this is already a rare treat for them.

As you slumber, Yaoshi decides on giving you a little gift for when you wake up. They decorate you with crowns of flowers, vines, and leaves, while their other arms hold you tightly against them.

Sometimes, they'll get an extra energy surge, and start kissing you all over your face. This may wake you up, but even so, all Yaoshi says is a "good morning, love", before returning to their snuggles.

Yaoshi just simply has a lot of love in their heart, so much so that they can't possibly keep it all down. They can certainly try to keep it down for the few moments of your rest, but eventually, it'll build up and they'll need to let it all out again.

Lan is outright dumbfounded. They're a energetic creature, always running off the moment they see any abomination of the Abundance. They never sit still for too long, never leaving any inch of the galaxy untouched by their hooves.

So when you, a little mortal that happened to curry their favor, become too tired and decide to rest on the Aeon, they don't really know what to do. They want to bound away towards another battlefield, but they don't want to interrupt you.

So they're just kind of... standing there, impatiently tapping their foot as they wait for you to get your beauty rest. It's times like these that Lan is grateful that they perceive time differently than you do, for what was a few hours for you was only a few minutes for them (but damn, were those the longest minutes of their existence).

The second you're awake, Lan is relieved. It's not like they don't want you to get whatever rest you need, they're just worried that Yaoshi is raising the apocalypse in their absence. If you really needed it, Lan could always put you in a pocket dimension, where you're free to sleep for as long as you like.

When you ask them as to why they didn't just do that the second you fell asleep, Lan quickly changes the subject, already readying themselves to ride towards the next destination.
