i'm dragging a heart that weighs a ton / holding out for not just anyone

[Fontaine: The technological hub of Teyvat.

For as long as anyone can remember, the country of Fontaine has always been the innovative center for the continent. High speed rail was originated here, and now spans across the entirety of Teyvat and beyond. High rises and skyscrapers pepper the skyline, modern Victorian buildings supporting a gear-like aesthetic from an era gone by. A thousand years ago, it was a much different place, but now it thrives with the bright lights and bustle of its people. One can hear the occasional street performer playing for cash, as businessmen and tourists alike walk down narrow cobblestone streets. People are buried in their phones, some take pictures as they gawk at the sights of the city, but one young man in particular walks languidly down the street, enjoying the life around him. He's in no hurry to get where he's going, as he has plenty of time to get there, noting a deli across the street from where he is now that he'll have to try.

Unfortunately, he is on business, so that'll have to wait.

Never being one to be dressed completely formal, he wears a comfortable pair of slacks and dress shoes, with a collared shirt that isn't buttoned up all the way under a grey vest. Various pieces of metal are woven into the vest, notably a crest on his right shoulder with a chain attached to it that hangs under his arm to the back. On his belt lies a Vision, glowing blue with hydro. The young man always seems friendly and easy going, but what lies underneath is something that not many are allowed to know- the heir to the family business of a company who develops tech for various products is also the right hand man of the mafia that runs the city.

And, their true business behind the scenes; creating Delusions to sell on the black market.

Today is a day where some investigating has to be done, and he's headed to see an old friend of his, from university. One that he's sure can help him with this problem he has. Entering the building, he swings in quietly to give a polite wave and a smile to the only person there.

Someone who looked exactly like their brother, whom he can only assume is the twin sister he'd yet to meet that he'd heard about.]

Hello, I was wondering if Aether was in today? I had a...business proposal for him, and I'm sure that he'd love to hear it. Unless of course, you might be of assistance instead.

[The pain he feels as she tugs his hair doesn't bother him terribly, not when she bucks against him and trembles under the attention of his tongue. Her body reacting to him is delicious, barely stopping to respond to her.]

Oh...

[His response is delayed, as if he'd misunderstood the assignment, but not apologetic. Making her feel wonderful is his only objective, and this time he intends on finishing it out to not leave her wanting.]

Ask me afterwards, then.

[He brings his other hand in now to grip into her thigh, lavishing his tongue rhythmically on her, breath hot and heavy as if it were a humid summer day. He makes sure his rhythm matches what her body tells him, building his speed slowly to make sure she reaches her peak, the tip of his tongue playing circles on her.]

No—

[ how insolent.

but even that's someone lumine can't voice out, a moan bubbling out of her throat instead in the wake of his cheeky response. and as much as she wants to give herself some semblance of control, she finds herself pinned down, not just by the hands on her thighs but by the debilitating pleasure coursing through her. it honestly feels like her entire body is on fire, her mind blanking out from sheer indulgence.

and it isn't as if she's not yet pent-up, already driven mad thanks to his teasings earlier in the bathroom. so much so that the coil inside of her doesn't need further ministrations, already stretch taut and thin that it snaps at the slightest of touch.

lumine's hips buck once more against his mouth, a cry that sounds like his name leaving her lips, as pleasure overtakes her. she comes with a violent shudder of her body, once more finding a sticky mess between her legs. ]

[Ajax finds that every tremble, every moan and cry of hers is addicting, and he loves how she responds under his touch this way. It spurs him on, to caress and guide her further down the path to bliss, humming happily against her to stimulate her even more.

What makes it even more delightful is how she cries his name so, an exciting melody that echoes in the room, and he finds he doesn't mind the deluge that comes forth from between her thighs. The way she shudders so violently beneath him, it's intoxicating, and a part of him wants to make her come again and again just to drink in what he's able to do to her.

Ajax lifts his head to look up at her, his eyes bright with satisfaction, wiping his mouth with his arm.]

Can I keep going?

[He asks with a bright smile, his head craning down to let the tip of his tongue flick her clit once. He'll stop if she says so, but he'll keep going if she wishes...]

[ lumine's speechless, partially because only ajax would have the gall to ask a question like that when lumine's a wobbly bundle of jelly in her shared bed with aether, partially because the pleasurable aftershocks cause every word that she could possibly summon to turn into a small, wavering whimper.

also, he's grinning at her. if lumine's face hadn't been burning before, it's literally aflame now, every irreverent flick of ajax's tongue like an item on the man's personal agenda to embarrass and debilitate the hell out of her. the mere fact that he does it again while she's still catching her breath, her entire body oversensitive, is already telling. ]

... I can't believe you right now.

[ it's with a groan and an aggrieved sigh that she sinks back into the bed, an arm slung over her face. ]

I can't even move.

That just means I did a good job.

[He beams at her, debating on whether it would be safe to run more pleasure through her, noting her reddened face. She's probably a little embarrassed, and he feels like she shouldn't have to feel that way. It wasn't his intention to do that.]

Relax, and let me make you feel good. I've found that I really like doing this for you.

[Ajax's face buries back down between her thighs, administering slow rolls of his tongue now to her, the slick already present between them not deterring him from letting his whole mouth envelop her. He can't say he minds the taste, not that it would have stopped him otherwise. His little hums and soft moans begin anew, happily massaging her to completion again as his fingers knead and grip into any supple skin he can find- the inside of her thigh, sliding a hand under her ass, the soft skin on her hips.]

Aj—

[ lumine almost breathes out his name as he once more dips between her legs. it just so happens that the breath she would've used is summarily stolen from her by his mouth pressing against her folds, the drag of his tongue across her clit and sex causes her to cry out involuntarily.

she's still very much sensitive, her entire body feeling as if it's just been electrocuted. and yet, even before she can recover, ajax resumes his preoccupation and it drives her up the wall.

pinned down by his hands, all lumine can do is squeeze her eyes shut and muffle her cries and moans while her body writhes underneath him, fire spreading across her nerves. she doesn't understand how this is somehow more intense than sex, more intimate with his mouth on her. and yet the visceral pleasure he brings her is unbelievable, the tension he builds frustratingly delicious, her body at his mercy. ]

Please, Ajax—

[ her hips buck again and her eyes flash open as she feels his moans travel across her body, his mouth intent on drinking her dry. just a little longer and she's bound to come again. ]

[He hums a little noise of satisfaction and confirmation, hearing her plea and speeding up his passes across her to sync to the rhythm of her body, feeding her more and more pleasure and tension to eventually force that to break to let pure ecstasy spread across her body like a wildfire. A fire he's pleased that he could ignite, his tongue lapping her up with glee, living for every cry and moan she elicits.

His tongue flicks across her clit expertly, instinctively remembering from an age long past how she likes to hit her peak, lips and tongue working together to press against her in such a way to draw out all those wonderful sounds and shudders of her body against his mouth. Ajax lavishes against her, drinking her dry, his breath hot on her folds as he brings her close and closer to the edge.

A muffed moan that is her name vibrates against the sensitive area between her legs, Ajax finding himself rising between his own legs, her cries sending his mind into a fog. Though he forces himself to focus, because he's not doing this for his own pleasure, but for her, and he intends to finish her without indulging in her body for himself.]

[ she honestly doesn't want to give him that satisfaction, not after all his teasing. but there's not much lumine can do about it when her body doesn't feel like it's hers anymore, like he's controlling it and she's simply feeling the sensations, the pleasure.

she whimpers and arches her back once more when he lavishes on her swollen folds, sending more fire racing across her nerves. the coil in her gut is wound up tight, the pressure building and building and building.

lumine comes for a third time that day when his mouth closes around her clit, tongue dragging heavily against it, pleasure and tension unraveling inside her body like an untangled rubber. she cries out his name, her hips bucking violent and her body trembling underneath him. ]

[The arch of her back signals to him that she's nearly there, unrelenting in the careful attention he pays to her to let her revel in pleasure and bliss. He can feel the hot sex that spills out of her as she cries for him again, finally relenting once she bucks and trembles one last time under the ministrations of his tongue and mouth.

The man lifts his head slowly, before sitting up and reaching for the towel he'd discarded not too long ago, just to have it on hand when she's ready. The smile on his face isn't smug, but rather just happy that he's gotten her to come for him again, though underneath that expression is pride and a feeling of cockiness that he's the one she cries for, and he loves the idea of that even more.

Though he doesn't notice that the whole ordeal has given him a pretty big boner, as he sits on his knees to gaze lovingly back at her. He'll wait for her to recover, for her to say something first.]

[ what else is she supposed to say???

describing her as exhausted is an understatement, her vision flirting with the edge of the darkness on her back, her consciousness wavering in and out hazily. the fog in her brain lingers, keeping her from completely gathering her composure until she's managed to catch her breath and slow down her heartbeat.

but everything feels so good, despite the void between her legs that seems to ache despite having crested her peak so many times. and lumine determines to cling to consciousness as she stares dazedly at the ceiling of her bedroom. ]

You better wash your mouth first if you're thinking of kissing me, because I swear to the archons, Ajax.

[That makes him laugh, a genuine chortle coming out of him at the idea. He had absolutely no intention of doing that, having to wipe his mouth again after she'd come to completion once more. And he has no intention of doing it now, either.]

Don't worry, I wouldn't do that to you. I'm going to brush my teeth before I think of doing anything else with my mouth, haha.

[He places the towel near her so she can grab it if she wants to clean herself up a little, getting up off the bed, noticing how out of it she looks now that he can get a better view of her. Goodness, he really wore her out, and he smiles to himself. Ajax reaches down to run his hand through her hair, chuckling quietly at the dazed look on her face. It's cute. She's cute.]

I'll be right back. Don't fall asleep before I get back, we still have to put new sheets on the bed before you take a nap.

[He turns to leave, to go upstairs and put some clothes on and brush his teeth before he returns to the room.]

[ ugh.

lumine stays on the bed for the next several minutes after he's left, letting out a groan when she tries to finally get up. the hot shower she's had felt like an eternity ago, and her body is once again sore and boneless. what she wouldn't give to stay in bed all day, but she has to get up, clean up, have lunch and change the sheets before aether comes back. an ordeal in itself as she slowly reaches out for the towel to wipe herself down.

stupid ajax, this wasn't what she was going to ask him. lumine huffs, tossing the towel into the laundry basket before getting up to find a pair of underwear to slip on.

once that's done, she returns to the bed, falling back down and burying her face in the pillows. she can't believe just getting up tuckered her out so quickly. ]

[He returns shortly fully clothed, wearing a pair of slacks with a button up shirt that he always leaves untucked with the sleeves rolled up, top buttons left undone as he walks back into the room to find her face buried in the pillows. He laughs, sitting down on the bed next to her, rubbing her back slowly.]

C'mon, if you need a little help getting up, you can just ask for it.

[Ajax wonders if that will spur her to get up, because he understand how much she dislikes getting help, especially from him of all people.]

Just long enough to get new sheets on the bed. I promise you can lay back down after that.

[ lumine groans when she hears him return, the sound muffled by the pillows. and that hand on her back would've been swatted away too if it weren't for the fact that she's too tuckered out for anything too. but she can at least do what he's telling her too, slowly rolling onto her side to get up and out of the bed.

... if only he's not sitting next to her and blocking her way, though. lumine looks up at him with a dismayed expression, her lips pursed. ]

Aether will probably want you to burn the mattress down, too.

[ knowing her twin brother, he'll refuse to sleep in the same bed where she and ajax had sex, no matter how many times they wash and change the sheets, once he learns about it. and knowing aether, he'll learn about it somehow. ]

Hahaha...

[He thinks that's a little dramatic, but Aether can really do whatever he wants with their mattress. It's not his. Ajax only shoots a smile back, leaning in to give her a small chaste kiss to her lips, before standing back up and grabbing a new fitted sheet for the bed.]

...We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, we can make it look as innocent as possible. Come, help me put this on the bed.

[Putting them on is always a pain, and he fumbles with it looking for what side goes where until he's found what he thinks is right.]

[ lumine stares at ajax as he struggles to put on the sheets, wondering if he's lived such a privileged life that he can't even figure out how bedsheets fit onto the mattress. he probably had someone do it for him, a helper or one of his sisters or his mom. either way, it's clearly something he can't do alone, so even if it's amusing to watch him suffer, lumine can't help but take the sheet and push him aside. ]

You're useless with these kinds of stuff. [ stuff that doesn't include him killing people or something. ] I'm somehow surprised.

[ she checks the inside of the sheet in search of the tag, quickly moving towards one of the bottom corners of the mattress to start dressing it up once more. after all, she's done this a few times for her and her brother's bed when it's her turn for house chores. ]

Though I guess you probably had someone do this for you at home.

Aw, c'mon.

[He sets his arms akimbo when she takes the sheet from him, moving to a different part of the bed that she hasn't gotten to to tuck the corner under tightly before moving on to the next corner.]

I just always have a hard time finding the tag, but eventually, I'll find it. I'm not too shabby at doing things around the house, despite what you may think. You'll find I'm just as good if not better than anyone you can hire to clean your house.

[Though he boasts, he knows he can back it up with results. He's never been a messy person and he's not about to start now.]

And I cook, too. But you already knew that.

[ lumine picks up the dirty sheets, bundling it up and tossing it in the laundry basket. that'll need to be washed and she's debating if she should go back to the apartment and throw it in the washer. might be the best thing at the moment, really, especially if she wants to hide anything from aether. ]

I'm sure my housekeeper can beat you at cleaning up the house.

[ not that she plans on bringing her over, but lumine should probably contact her too. make sure she's safe and sound and keep her from harm like her other employees. which honestly still stings thinking about it.

in any case, she also strips the pillowcases from the pillows, tossing the things in the basket too. ]

I can cook, too, Ajax.

[Ajax goes to pick up a fresh flat sheet to put on the bed, taking it and flicking it upwards to let it fan out over the bed as it floats downwards onto it. He shoots her a look as he begins to tuck it in at the end, making sure it's smooth and tight across it before he gets to the sides. As if he's showing her his skills.]

Then that makes two of us. You know, I can teach you some traditional recipes from my homeland sometime. And, I've yet to make you my signature dish.

[That elicits a cocky grin from him, but he knows how good it is.]

I'd love it if you'd try it sometime. I'll have to ask Tubby to get me the ingredients...

[ is this really something he should be proud of and she impressed about? really? changing bedsheets and making sure they're tucked? lumine rolls her eyes as she tugs at her side of the sheet, also folding it neatly at the other end of the bed.

it looks tidy enough. but aether will still suspect something if it's too neat, so lumine jumps onto the bed, creasing and disturbing the sheets that they just so properly tucked seconds ago. ]

Tubby said there's a plot of land in the teapot you can use to grow things. Apparently, the traveler used to use it.

[Folding his arms, he looks at her ruining his beautiful work. He gets why, Aether probably would know something's up if it didn't look like it had been slept in a little.]

Hm, I've never thought to take up gardening, but that could be a new and fun experience.

[He grabs the comforter, throwing it over her head and smirking as it covers her and the bed, rounding to the side as he awaits her emergence from under it.]

I'll mull it over. There are a few things I could make with fresh produce grown right in the backyard.

Hey—

[ lumine fights the fluffy comforter as it falls over her head, weighed down by all the feathers and fluff in it. with a twist of her mouth, she crawls from underneath it, disturbing their handiwork even more. at the very least, aether would think it's been slept on.

hopefully. ]

Who knows? Maybe farming would finally get you to quit the mafia.

[ as if that would ever happen, though. he did say that he's the heir to his dad, didn't he? she pulls up the comforter from the edge of the bed, finally emerging from it. ]

Hah, farming? Is that what you would have me do?

[He pulls it up towards the pillows, straightening it out there before he stop in front of her with amusement at her suggestion. He's not surprised to hear her suggest that he somehow quit or get out of the family business. Ajax has a pensive thought to himself for a moment, before quickly looking down to grin at her.]

I did say that I wasn't all that interested in the family business, if you remember. Why don't we wait and see by the end of all this what happens, haha.

[ lumine stops at that question, looking up at him with an expression of surprise on her face. is that what she wanted from him, to quit his family's line of work and do something else? ]

Not really, [ she says after a beat, shrugging her shoulders. ] You can do whatever you want.

[ take up gardening, become a farmer, continue with his work in his family—lumine doesn't think it's her call or her place to make do something. at the end of the day, if he wants to stay doing what he does in the volkov family, despite their current relationship in bed, it isn't as if she can stop him nor make any demands about his life.

she sidesteps him after getting off the bed and starts for the door, wondering what he's made for lunch. ]

We should go. I'm getting hungry.

Alright.

[He turns to watch her as she makes her way to the door and subsequently out of the room. But despite her nonchalant answer, he can feel the wall she's put up between them with it, making his lips quirk up into a determined smile. Ajax follows her out of the room towards the kitchen, swinging inside to go to the fridge to take out everything he'd prepped before going in to wake her up.

Containers of chopped up fresh vegetables get set out on the table, and he takes a larger container filled with seasoned chicken that he'd cooked and cubed earlier to put in the middle of it all. He also grabs some spinach and sun-dried tomato wraps out of the pantry, setting them down with everything else.]

It's nothing special, I didn't know when exactly you'd get out of bed so I made sure to make something that could be eaten at any time. I figured some wraps would make for a good lunch. There's some dressings and sauces in the fridge as well, if you'd like.

[He grabs a few plates for them too, and a bowl for himself.]

I hope you'll like it.
