[Ranks and social standings have no meaning now and the fact that Aether so eagerly uses his status as the prince is only to show how determined he is to keep Childe here with him. He doesn't get to say anything else, easily pulled into a kiss. His body presses closer, fingers tangling into the knight's ginger hair.

Aether can't get enough of kisses. Perhaps it's just the matter of them learning each other and gaining more experience, because each kiss feels so much better than the previous one. Aether sighs content, mind still in daze after they part.

The words hit him right into the heart though. Again, he finds himself frowning at the thought alone, but this time he's more willing to compromise.]

This moment would be perfect... if only I knew that I'd wake to see you by my side in the morning.

[He closes his eyes for a moment, giving in on that idea. Perhaps one day that dream will be able to come true, but it doesn't seem like it'll be anytime soon.]

If you can't stay here the whole night... at least nap with me for a few hours? And wake me up when you'll be leaving.

[He can already imagine how much his heart would sink if Childe sneaked out on him during the night.]
