[ 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.
…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.
[ 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.
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…
[ 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.
[ He leans down to scoop Childe up in his arms and set him on top his shoulders, the disappointment of only having one tail quickly overshadowed by the fact he now has acquired one warm fluffy scarf. Which he is currently nuzzling into. ]
I suppose it would have been very troublesome if you had so many when you are so small.
[ childe nestles against his neck to become a fox boa! fluffing up and nuzzling against zhongli's cheek with a pleased little prrrt! ] I can't believe I have just the one! but... it would be a lot. Prrrrobably ridiculous if I changed into any other animal... [ so maybe it's for the best. ]
[ He makes his way over to the hotel garage then - weaving in and out of the aisles before he finds stopping before a classic and well kept motorcycle in blacks and golds.
As he mounts it, he reaches up to pluck Childe from around his neck: ]
I think it would be safer if you were in my lap for the journey.
[ Zhongli can't help but gently pet Childe for a few for moments before kicking off and speeding down the road. Certainly not at D.Va speeds, but he was once a young hotblooded fool, too.
Some things never leave you.
As they get farther out, Childe will probably notice that they are headed to that long stretch of beach that Zhongli took him before. ]

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. ]

[ 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.

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.

But then there is only one tail.

[ And he smooths out Childe's tail before taking another pocky stick and offering it to his furry boa. ]
Shall we retreat inside then? Unless you wish to cuddle out here in the gardens.

[ takes the pocky stick. ]
Let’s head inside. My room or your room?
no subject
Neither.
Might I take you somewhere else? Though still inside.

And I researched it thoroughly to find one that was classic and aesthetically pleasing as well as durable, easy to handle and fuel efficient.
Please do enjoy the ride.
[ He is free to reach for anything with his tiny paws as he is settled in Zhongli's lap. Zhongli will not stop him. ]
no subject
I'm sure I will. I get to sit in your lap, remember! [ fluffs up and presses back against zhongli, tilting his head to stare at him as they drive. ]
