[ childe keeps an eye on him, amused as soon as he sees the lube. he spares it a glance once it’s set down, but focuses more on zhongli as he fits himself into place between himself. he leans over to give him a kiss, that same tail dipping to stroke zhongli’s face as he pets it. ]

[ childe sits back for a moment, taking the tube of lube and squeezing a generous amount into his hands. a few seconds of warming it and he lifts his ass into the air, pressing his face into zhongli’s thighs with a smug ass smile. he traces the rim of his asshole, dipping a single finger in to start, but eventually it’s joined by a second and a third; eyes fluttering closed as he finds an even pace with which to not only work himself open, but also fuck himself to. ]
