But have you ever felt such a protectiveness before? I'm flattered by the way.

Decompress. You're obviously wound up. And some time apart might soothe you both.

[He does chuckle a little.]

I was going to ask, but we were having a serious moment. Was it at least a pleasant experience or do I need to shoot this person?

Edited 2021-04-21 00:29 (UTC)

You're right. I haven't. This is rather new for me.

[ would it be funny to let Emet shoot Childe, he's half considering ]

It was pleasant, just embarrassing. We got into a drinking contest and one thing lead to another.

At one point I showed him pictures of you.

I didn't lose by the way.

[ he lost ]

You got in a drinking contest, decided to take an age up potion, and one of the first things that came to your mind was to show him pictures of me?

[He grabs his chin.

And kisses the tip of his nose.]

Adorable.

[ That is cute and is face is going red at that. See. This is why he shows photos of him when he's drunk. ]

It wasn't one of the first things, we ended up getting very intimate.

But I did gush about you before any of that. So yes. Apparently declaring how great you are and how much I love you is one of the first things my mind jumps to when I'm drunk, you are free to let that inflate your ego.

Well, I am glad you enjoyed yourself. And consider my ego inflated for the day.

But I would have one request of you, if the day hasn’t been too taxing.

The day has been very taxing but doing something for you would improve my mood considerably.

[ he's going to just rest his head against his chest, keeping his hold on him. He's clearly feeling affectionate ]

[Then he probably won’t mind being picked up bridal style.]

A single dance on the pier then.

[And he will begin carrying him there.]

[ oh. He lets him, still tense but relaxing a little with Emet returning the affection, and he kisses him as he's carrying him ]

I think I can spare a dance for you.

[He kisses him back on the lips and then the forehead before letting him down.]

Then consider me grateful for being given the opportunity.

[He gives Five the lead role resting a hand in his and one one his shoulder, but starting them off.

He’s quiet at first, but then.]

When do I get to meet him?

[ The more affection he's shown the more he's just completely basking in it. Funny how being with Emet for even a second just makes everything feel easy to bear no matter what it is. He'll dance with him and happily take the lead, enjoying it as he always does because after all, he is the boss. ]

The guy I got drunk with? I am not setting you two up, between the two of you I won't survive the encounter.

But he is Wild City's newest. Caeli, or Mora.

[He’s enjoying it as he always does. And he is worried about Five being to hard on but that doesn’t need to be addressed right now.]

You saw through my ruse. Well, perhaps I will simply have to propose it to him. Or tease him mercilessly.

Or perhaps both. Why settle?

[ Wait. What ruse. The gears are starting to turn and his face goes red once he reaches a conclusion ]

—I had simply assumed you wanted to meet him since it's not usual for me to pick up a partner so casually.

You were not incorrect in your assumption. But not only did you pick up a partner so casually but your demeanor speaking of it also spoke volumes.

You like him, inebriated or not.

... He is very attractive. And interesting.

[ which is always a terrible terrible combination ]

A little pushy and annoying in a way that's not too different from what I thought of you at the beginning. ... and he has been very considerate.

He was around shortly after I fought with Levity and after seeing him leave he came back to Taisho to check on me.

[ he's right. He likes him ]

Good.

[He kisses his cheek.]

You need more easy and uncomplicated relationships in your life.

Or maybe I just need more people to show your pictures to.

Embrace it, Five. Trust your judgment. It has gotten you thus far.

[ he just grumbles at that, mostly because the whole thing is still embarrassing. But he does move to bring his hand to his lips to kiss it ]

He is easy to talk to and you're right, I do need easy and uncomplicated relationships.

Sometimes it feels like I only have that with you, Lahabrea and Vergil.

Not a bad start honestly.

[He blushes lightly.]

Are you feeling better?

Don't I always, when I'm with you? Every time I feel like the entire world is crumbling beneath my feet you manage to put everything back together.

Now I can’t allow that. Becoming too predictable.

Besides. I still need to retaliate back for your ‘taking advantage of your goodwill’ nonsense.

[He scoops him up again bridal style and walks to the very edge of the pier.]

Edited 2021-04-21 20:02 (UTC)

[ there's a little yelp at that because he did in fact not expect it, but he does immediately wrap his arms around his neck ]

Well I had to tell you about Levity first.

And the fact I 69ed a guy I barely know second.

And how is that taking advantage of me, my dear?

[He dumps him in the water.]
