It is not that I do not find you attractive. You're quite pleasing to the eye. I've always thought so.

But I just do not think such decisions should be made while you are under the influence.

[childeishly]

[ as soon as each finger has been drenched in saliva he presses a kiss to the inside of zhongli's palm, holding it against his mouth and smiling from behind it. ]

Zhongli Xiansh-

[ but the smile starts to drop and childe's grip on zhongli's wrist tightens. h- how could zhongli mark him like that, claim him, and then refuse to follow through?! he looks confused a- and hurt and... he shoves zhongli back, ears turning backward as his tail moves around to cover the stain on his front, because now he just feels shameful. ]

Childe. . .!!

[leaveofabsence]

[ Zhongli reaches for Childe's wrist when he's shoved back, very intent on pulling him back with him. ]

[childeishly]

[ zhongli manages to grab childe's wrist to drag him back along with him, but childe slams down a hand beside zhongli to keep them from completely colliding. he keeps his gaze on the ground, avoiding eye contact as he tugs on his wrist. ]

You could have just said no from the start...

[leaveofabsence]

That is because I wanted to do this. And I am not saying no now either. Or at least not---

[ He lets out an exhale as he releases Childe's wrist. ]

I do not want you to look back at this moment and doubt my sincerity. For you to think that I was only doing it because of the mark.

[childeishly]

... [ as soon as he’s got his hand back he grabs zhongli’s front, fisting the material and tugging him close. ] ...fair, though the thought hadn’t even crossed my mind. Even if my thoughts are muddled by a thick haze of lust the underlying feelings are still completely genuine, but... I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry given... things... [ buries his face in zhongli’s chest. ] But I... trust you. [ tips his head back to kiss his chin. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ Another exhale, this one accompanied by tension bleeding from his frame. Zhongli's wraps his arms carefully around the other, pulling him close. Tight. With no intention of letting him go. ]

Never think that you are unwanted, Childe.

That couldn't be farther from the truth.

[childeishly]

I... I didn't think that. Not... really. Of everybody anywhere I just... [ don't want to be rejected by... you... he starts dotting kisses along zhongli's jaw. ] Spend tonight with me?

[leaveofabsence]

Yes. Of course.

[ And he straightens a little after reciprocating a kiss on the top of Childe's head. ]

Let me get you something to clean up with and a change of clothes.

[childeishly]

...no, it's alright. I think I should probably shower. Maybe some cold water will help me cool off. [ since his head is still stuck in a couple of clouds. ] And I can get myself a change of clothes. But if you're spending the night, then, hm~, you're going to need a change of clothes. [ he twists around and paws for his phone, bringing up the shop. ] Let me pick you out something warm.

[leaveofabsence]

[ Childe.

Childe.

Is this really the most important thing right now? He can't be comfortable in his current state. ]

Yes. I suppose you do have a point.

[childeishly]

[ it's taking a lot of restraint not to ask zhongli to join him, so... YEP. ] Here. [ passes the phone to him, so he can brush his lips over the riptide mark on zhongli's neck. ] ...look for something; whatever you like.

[ Zhongli takes the phone from him, shoulders hunching as Childe touches the mark again.

Ah.

He supposes it's now or never, isn't it? Time to prove the worth of his words and all that. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He catches Childe's chin between two fingers and then leans in for a proper kiss. ]

1/3

[childeishly]

[ looks down at the phone to see what zhongli's look- ]

[childeishly]

Zhongli Xiansheng! [ nononononononononono. he's not going to survive this encounter! there's a soft muffled moan given through the kiss as his cheeks bloom with a blush, childe's hand flying back to zhongli's chest to grab a hold of his shirt. ]

[childeishly]

[ now it's his turn to press zhongli back into the pillow pile as he indulges in the kiss, enjoying it to its fullest. ] ...this is, it's dangerous. I'm still... Zhongli Xiansheng I'm still so hot. You're going to... [ he's already made it worse!!! ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He hits the pillows gracefully as he does everything. ]

Me? I'm going to pick out a change of clothes.

[ And he bends one knee to press against Childe's chest to keep some distance as he reaches oh so casually for the phone. ]

You're going to take a shower.

[childeishly]

[ he leans himself fully against that knee and just whines at zhongli. ]

. . .

We’re going to take a shower?

[ sounds slightly hopeful. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ His expression softens. ]

Yes.

I believe I was told this dorm has a hot springs.

Why don't we wash up and head over there?

[childeishly]

Alright-!

[ backs off and... ugh, this is uncomfortable. he’ll just keep his tail in place as he gets to his feet, because he can feel the mess he made in his pants. ]

To the bathroom first then. [ he’ll head to the door and poke his head out and thankfully the coast his clear, so he swiftly heads to the end of the hall and slips into the bathroom. ]

Come on Xiansheng. Hurry up.

[leaveofabsence]

Ah yes. I'm coming.

[ As he moves more quickly than his usual pace down the hallway to catch up and close the door behind them. ]

[childeishly]

[ locks it-! and starts stripping. ] I sure I made a mess of my myself, huh... [ he grabs a wet cloth to start wiping himself up. ]

[leaveofabsence]

Ah... I believe that was more my fault than yours.

[ He says a little sheepishly as he starts stripping out of his own clothes and folding them carefully. What is modesty when your abs have been on display for 3,000 years?

He does the same for Childe's clothes that are still clean. ]
