[ shudders, enjoying the faint seer of pain from his nails as they tear down his sides. ] Mm~ [ he stops moving his own hands and sets a finger on emet’s lips, tapping with every other word. ] And how do I get there? [ it falls to the wayside after, with childe accepting the kiss and then looking thoughtful and feeling guilty. ]

Yes. I don’t want him feeling betrayed or getting jealous, even if I’ve not intention of trying to steal you away emotions are just like that.

Time. Unfortunately.

[He kisses that finger before he does pull back finally.]

A rain check then. To ensure all is in place first.

[But he does brush his cheek with the back of his fingers.]

But do no think that you are unwanted.

I don't. It'll take a lot more than *this* to cut down my ego. [ he laughs. ] I'd rather make sure sensei is alright with it too. He means a lot to you and he also means a lot to me.

Perhaps I will stop attempting to boost it. How many relationships were you in before Zhongli?

Why? [ keep boosting it. ]

Zero.

[now he feels incredibly stupid about the jealousy]

I suppose I forget at times that you are actually young.

It's not like I couldn't have found someone before Zhongli Xiansheng... I just didn't have the time or the interest. [ makes a face. ] I'm not *that* young. [ except when compared to the older men he enjoys the company of... ]

You act more mature beyond your years. Take it as a compliment.

Thanks. It's not like I had much of a choice.

Still impressive nonetheless. That and you’ve managed to remain overall content. Or at least you hide it very well if you are not.

What do you mean by that? I don't need 10 lovers to be content.

[He shakes his head.]

I meant the maturity. Those that are forced to grow up tend to harbor misgivings and resentment.

It's no picnic, having your childhood taken away, but I guess those people don't have lofty goals to keep them from falling into that darkness. I have my family to think about, the Tsaritsa, Xiansheng, and of course my dream of conquering the world and becoming the strongest.

What would you even do after conquering your star?

Look elsewhere for bigger and badder opponents. The Travelers aren't from Teyvat, so clearly there are worlds beyond the stars. I'll search there.

As long as you come back for Sunday suppers, who am I to complain?

How could I say no to an invitation like that?

[He pecks him on the cheek.]

Come now. You're going to make me think you actually like my company.

[ turns his head in time to steal a chaste kiss from emet. ] I do enjoy your company. [ glides a finger up his throat and to his chin, giving it a tap. ] …immensely.

[Congratz, Caeli got him to blush. To which he tries to cover up with a cough.]

Didn't hesitate at all with that one, did you?

[ cute. doubly cute the moment he tries covering it up. childe brushes his fingers over emet’s cheek, driving them into his hair until he can cradle the back of his head… aiming to coax him into a kiss. ] Didn’t need to. I like you, Emet-Selch.

[He does kiss him back with more gusto than intended, but then he does break apart.]

I am going to remember each and every one of these transgressions when Five does finally give his blessings. But I imagine that is exactly what you want.

[ he takes his hand back slowly, brushing his cheek in reverse and then tap- tap- tapping his lips with a smirk. ] I don’t know what you’re talking about~ [ he absolutely does. ]
