[ he offers the stick to zhongli. ] And then I'll come at it from the other side and we meet in the middle for an extra sweet kiss.

[ Another glance at the stick and then Childe as he leans forward slightly to carefully wrap his tongue and then his lips around his end of the stick.

Like this? ]

[ childe smiles, reaching for zhongli's hand so he can tug him just a little bit closer. he leans across and takes the other half between his lips. ] Mm! [ time to cup his cheek with the other hand and - snap - it's broken. blinks, staring at the snapped stick with a frown. ]

[ om nom. ] I guess I was a little too... hasty. [ re; excited. ]

[ He crunches his own half of the broken stick and reaches for a fresh one from the packet. ]

Might I try the next one?

Sure, Xiansheng, go ahead.

[ clearly that pocky stick was just busted. ]

[ He taps the chocolate end to Childe's lips. ]

Be gentle.

And allow me to take care of it.

Mm! [ takes it between his lips, careful not to make any sudden movements that would cause it to snap again. ]

[ He carefully puts the other end in his mouth up to the middle. This time Zhongli reaches out to Childe - just two fingers that brush the length of his jaw - before he presses behind his ear to try and coax him forward. ]

[ childe sets a hand on top of one of zhongli's, smiling as he scoots just a little bit closer, allowing him to take the other half of the pocky stick into his mouth. their lips brush as he does so, so he tilts his head in the slightest to join them together fully for an extra sweet kiss. ]

[ SNAP

Goes the pocky as Zhongli ignores it completely (the jagged edge digging slightly unpleasantly into his cheek) for the much sweeter treat of tasting the inside of Childe's mouth. ]

[ reaches for zhongli’s shirt to hold him in place as the kiss is deepened. a soft moan passes his lips, somewhat smothered by their closeness, and zhongli’s flavor mixes with that of the pocky. he finds himself growing more greedy, so he leans into him, pressing him back against the bench as he tries to coax him into continuing to map out his mouth. ]

[ Zhongli needs little encouragement as his tongue explores his mouth shamelessly, alternating between aggressively twining together with his and licking at the roof of his mouth. He swipes away every last bit of chocolate before pulling back just enough to sink his teeth into Childe's lower lip. ]

Exquisite.

As you always taste.

But the hint of chocolate just adds another note of flavor which makes one want to go back in for a second helping.

[ childe hums along as the corners of his lips quirk in a half smile. ] Ah, so greedy, Xiansheng. [ he's one to talk, honestly. ] If you keep this up... you'll devour all of me. [ not that he sounds too fussed about that. he dives back in for another kiss, this time taking the initiative to thoroughly explore zhongli's mouth just like he had previously done. he cradles the back of his neck and twines his fingers in his rat tail, ultimately pulling on it to break the kiss and force his head back. ]

You're stunning, Zhongli Xiansheng. [ licks a stripe up the middle of his neck with the flat of his tongue, planting a few kisses off to the side as he hums. ] Apparently my extra tails weren't the only corruption I came back with... [ he's trying real hard not to just sink his fangs in. ] Blood, I need blood...

[ There's an unhappy grumble as Zhongli is forcibly pulled back from the kiss but it's more a petulant whine than anything. He could easily yank Childe down to continue if he wanted but the touch at his neck is also welcomed as Zhongli lazily wraps his arms around Childe's shoulders---

Until there is mention of another corruption and Zhongli's eyes narrow in a flash of golden protectiveness, not unlike which he summons his Jade Shield as a reflex.

But Childe must be uneasy about his new corruption to introduce it in such a way, and he has been through so much lately--- that with a few steady breaths Zhongli's expression warms up to at least an attempt at soft reassurance though his eyes still glitter with a quiet anger. ]

Of course, Ajax.

You are free to take as you like. I will stop you if it's too much.

...a taste, is all. I just want to taste Zhongli Xiansheng this way too. [ truth be told he's not sure how he feels about it. he doesn't mind blood, but drinking it is something else entirely. it does make him feel giddy though, probably because it's another way he can get closer to the people he cares about... though he'd obviously understand if they were adverse to it. ]

[ nips at his neck and then sinks his fangs in for a drink. he fists the material of zhongli's shirt and groans against his neck, eyes fluttering closed as he sits back only slightly. ] ...good, so good. [ fluffs up his tails and moves them around zhongli. ] I expected nothing less.

[ Zhongli grabs the front of Childe's shirt to keep him from moving from too hard away.

Ah, there is something about how Childe looks like this - with eyes just a little too bright and smile just a little too sharp.

Something that calls to a much older version of Zhongli...

He leans up to lick his own blood off of Childe's lips. ]

…you taste real nice, Xiansheng. I didn’t expect anything less though. [ chases a kiss. ] You could bite me if you like, though I’m sure I pale in comparison. [ chuckles, licking his lips and flashing him with a smile. ] …this one is a bit more annoying, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy tasting you in other ways.

You never pale in comparison to anyone or anything, Childe. Do not be so unkind to yourself.

[ And Zhongli returns the gentle kiss as he snuggles further into the tails wrapped around him, rubbing his cheek against the soft fur of one. ]

I enjoy you in many ways as well.

And I really have not got a chance to enjoy this.

[ He gently pets the length of fur. ]

Perhaps we could finish your snack --- [ Both chocolate and blood. ] and then retire for other activities.

[ it’s hard to keep from preening at the compliment, even if it had been said to negate his own self depreciation. ] It sounds like you have something else in mind, so sure. I’m finished with the pocky. It’s nothing special. [ not without a kiss. ] And I’m not craving blood at the moment. I merely wanted to taste you, Xiansheng, so let’s go.

[ Zhongli slips the box of chocolate sticks into his pocket anyway for safekeeping as he stands.

Then with a teasing grin, he takes one of Childe's tails and wraps it around his waist like a sash, burying his fingers into the fur. ]

Winter is coming. Each day brings more chill than the last.

And you are so warm.

A definite plus. I never minded the cold though… [ childe drapes another tail over his far shoulder. ] But you… I’ll have to stick closely to ensure you’re always warm. I don’t want to find a Zhongli-sicle. [ he moves another tail around one of his legs. ] I could just turn into a fox and you could wear me like a boa…

[ Zhongli makes a little pleased sound at being wrapped up in Childe's tail, cheek leaning over to brush the one against his shoulder.

He considers Childe's statement for a long moment, brow furrowed: ]

But then there is only one tail.

[ childe looks over his shoulder at his ass. ] I think they should still be there, since it’s a corruption. My tattoos show up in my other form…

If you wish to try then.

[ Said oh so reluctantly like someone is being told that have to get up to get ready for work or school when they would rather burrow further into their nest of blankets.

Or in this case - bed of fox tails. ]

It’ll be good to know! [ and he changes into a fox, scrambling up zhongli’s leg to get to his shoulder. there is sadly only one tail. ]
