So, in case you can't tell, I love Ying. As in, she's literally my favorite character in Paladins... and my main. So I was just browsing DA in search of Ying fanart and stumbled across this little gem of a shipping! Now don't get me wrong. I don't actually ship it. "Then why is it even here?!" You might ask. It's because the picture really inspired me and I thought it was cute! The picture I'm talking about was made by the lovely SapphireAngelBunny on DA! Their art is really good, so go check them out if you'd like. Without further ado, enjoy~

Androxus groaned miserably as he sulked through the door. He'd been in a nasty team fight prior to coming home, so he wasn't in the best of moods. Once he closed the door behind him the reaper removed his horned mask and trench coat. Now only in his black T-shirt and shorts he stumbled over to the couch and flopped onto it on his back. Letting out a deep sigh, the scar covered killer felt total serenity. He closed his eyes and focused only on his light breathing. Little did he know he was going to be in for quite the scare in a few seconds. Ying, his mischievous eleven partner had snuck up on him. Since they'd been living together for a while-maybe 1 or 2 weeks-she's been waiting for the opportunity to sneak up on him and actually scare him for once.
As the elf crept (well... floated) closer the smile on her face grew bigger and bigger with the anticipation! Finally she was right next to him. Crouching a bit so her face was next to him ear, she giggled inaudibly and said into his ear "Boo!"
Androxus was actually completely unfazed. Ying pouted a bit. She was really hoping that would work. Huffing with annoyance she stood up and, at that moment, a devilish thought came to mind. Smirking impishly Ying placed her palms firmly on Androxus' pectorals and hoisted herself onto his stomach. That made the dozing reaper's eyes pop wide open as he look to her in shock. She chuckled at this reaction and wrapped her thighs around his. Resting her head on his well built chest, Ying savored the fact she managed to take her big "Sleepy Reapy" off guard, even if only for a few moments. His heartbeat seemed so quiet. It beat so faintly you'd swear he was nearly dead. Androxus told Ying he'd been like this for many years. Guess she hadn't believed him till now.
"Ummmm... Ying-" Androxus would have asked the mystic why she decided to nap on to of him, but she simply placed an index finger to his lips and shushed him softly. Her eye lids began to droop and her arm was forced to sink back down and wrap itself around the reaper's chest. Although Androxus wished desperately that he could protest, he knew that a chance like this to be so very intimate was rare with their scheduled battling, so instead he let his glowing hand journey up to Ying's side where he let it rest once he was sure he'd secured her in his embrace. Closing his eyes again, Androxus began to drift off to sleep. Ying smiled and chuckled softly. Giving into her own fatigue, the elf smiled as she knew she'd won. The two of them really did make a cute, albeit odd, couple. And them sleeping on the couch like this so intimately could prove that.
