you hide your face with your disguise // 'cause someone filled your head with lies

[monoceroscaeli]

[It had been a few days since the hunt for the Great Mujina Youkai had come to an end, having to say goodbye to the kids and to Yoimiya too. The ship that was to take him back to Snezhnaya would be arriving a bit later in the day, and Childe sighs as he sits back in his chair in the tent he's occupying in one such hidden Fatui camp. He had a great time in Inazuma. The country was beautiful, rich with a new culture to learn and all sorts of places to explore and fight new and more exciting enemies. All his things were in order- the gifts that he'd bought to bring back to his family, Teucer's Onikabuto in a little bug box with some food to keep it alive during the trip back- all he'd have to do is wait for the ship and he'd be on his way.

He tells himself that he'd return to the country one day, once tensions between the Fatui and the Shogunate calm down. It was a miracle that he was able to stay as long as he has, evading the Tenryou Commission. He has some people to thank for that, and he won't forget what they did for him while he's been here. Some gifts would be in order for them upon his return.

The Harbinger idly plays with a writing utensil between his fingers. He'd like to bring something from Snezhnaya for Yoimiya, too.

There's a sharp rap at his door, and Childe sighs. He doesn't really want to deal with work right now, perfectly happy reminiscing on the time he's spent in Inazuma before he leaves, but answers with a bored tone to his voice:]

Come in.

[An agent enters, bowing and standing at attention.]

Sir, we've captured a Tenryou Commission spy that was found sneaking around. We've taken her into custody and are awaiting your orders on how to deal with her.

[Childe's eyebrow raises. It should have been hard to find this camp, even by the Shuumatsuban. Somehow, doubt creeps into his mind, but stands from his chair.]

Alright, I'll deal with it myself. At least I can have one last bit of fun before I depart.

[The agent only bows once more, to lead Childe towards the prisoner. He knows better than to argue with the Harbinger, but feels sorry for the spy. The two cross the camp to another tent, the agent stopping him right before lifting the flap for his senior commander.]

She claims to be from the fireworks shop, but we've seen Tenryou soldiers stop frequently at it.

[Before he can answer, the flap is lifted to reveal a certain girl that he'd met not but a few days ago...]

Comments

[niwabi]

[ tartaglia truly is the gift that keeps on giving. a little gasp escapes from her lips as his tip pushes into her slick entrance. just the head of his cock is enough to send her into a mind-melting pleasure, her soft sounds turning into loud moans as she revels in the sensation of his hips rocking in and out of her. with every movement, she could feel herself stretching around him, becoming more ready, more eager to take his cock with every inch that slides deeper into her. she feels so full, so incredibly tight around him. ]

Ah— b-big...! I-It's so big, Tartaglia! Nnnh... so thick—!

[ the entire time she had been bracing herself due to his sheer size but even with that thought in her mind, he somehow feels bigger, even fuller inside of her. once she's taken all of tartaglia in, she squeezes down on him, moaning in delight at how he feels so perfect inside of her. every inch of him is so good.

yoimiya had been on the brink of her second climax ever since they entered the water, only fighting back the urge because they were just getting started. although she's already accepted that tartaglia's going to push her to the brink and make her come multiple times for him, she didn't want to give him that immediate satisfaction of being right. as her own pleasure increases, the pressure of his mark intensifies, the combined efforts of it along with the full feeling of his cock is too much to bear, she can no longer hold it in. a sharp cry is drawn out from her throat, her entire body trembling as yoimiya gives into the vibrations of the riptide, tightening up even more before coming around him. her entire face is flushed red, an embarrassed whimper escaping from her lips while as she's breathing hard, drowning in the clarity of her release. it's a little embarrassing to come just from the sensation of him being inside of her, he hasn't even started moving and the blonde is already this much of a writhing hot mess.

but she knows, this is simply the start of the many times she'll end up climaxing for him. he's going to the the first person that pushes her to the limits and she couldn't be anymore excited. ]

N-No, you didn't hurt me. You're doing great.

[ yoimiya had also heard stories about how a woman's first time could end up being painful, she's even almost surprised at how compliant her body had been to him. but she knows that it's all thanks to tartaglia for being such a kind and considerate partner, all the foreplay they engaged in truly did help prepare her and she couldn't be anymore grateful to him. she flutters her lashes, glancing at him with a reassuring smile as she brings her hand to cup the side of his face. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[It's a delight to hear her squeal about how large he is, feeding his ego and making it harder for him to control himself. What doesn't help is how she tightens around him so when he fully sinks in, his eyes threatening to roll back into his skull from the sheer amount of electricity is sparks through him as a wave of pure bliss rolls and crashes through his body. Her cry is even more intoxicating, though he's not sure if it had been because it pained her to be stretched out like this, or if he had made her come- but he gets his answer quickly, smiling down at her with a small chuckle.

He felt her shudder beneath him, pleased that she'd succumbed to his mark and the water that continues to massage her clit. Of course, he can't have her relax too much, only allowing the water to slow to let her come down from her high for a moment. But as soon as her release has come to an end, it begins its assault anew to build her up again, to drown her again and again under the ministrations of the Harbinger.]

Haha, I'm glad to hear that. Sounds like my little mark is doing the trick...

[He smirks as his head leans into her touch, eyes closing to appreciate the gentleness of it, before turning his head enough to plant several kisses to her palm. Despite having fully sank into her depths, he wants to take a moment to silently treasure Yoimiya and the opportunity he has right now with her, eyes fluttering open when he finishes administering the soft pecks to her hand. When he said she was beautiful, he meant it, and now he'd give her what she'd been waiting for all night.

The first true rock of his hips in and out of her is slow and deliberate, gazing down at her silently in admiration as her walls set him slowly on fire. But he keeps them methodical and steady, Tartaglia's eyes slowly beginning to glaze over with need. She felt amazing, as if they were a perfect fit, the tightness of her womanhood keeping him needing more and more of her. Greed overpowers him and he leans downward to crash his lips into hers, letting his tongue tangle with her own as her fire spreads across his body, whines and moans escaping from him freely.]

You feel so amazing, [he manages between breaths, greedily drinking in her lips once more before breaking again.] Ahhhhh, Yoimiya, I want to haaaah...get a better angle. Relax...so I can take you further out.

[He's got another idea, he's just not saying how involved it all is.]

[niwabi]

[ even as they had long since lost their inhibitions and had been sinking in endless debauchery for one another, yoimiya's heart still flutters at the sweet gesture of a kiss being placed on her hand. while he might be the fearsome eleventh harbinger to most, she doesn't see him as just some battle hungry bloodknight. the entire time they've been together, he's been nothing but gentle and considerate about her needs, it's one of many, many good qualities that makes her fall further and deeper in love with him. she couldn't be any happier to spend the rest of the evening with him.

just having him inside set her whole body ablaze but the moment he starts his slow, methodical movements, yoimiya completely unravels underneath the harbinger. the deliberate way tartaglia sets the rhythmn causes her to feel every inch of him perfectly, the girth of his shaft, how hard he is, everything about him is intense but absolutely amazing all at the same time. she eagerly returns every kiss with the same amount of greed, allowing him to fill her mouth with his tongue. at this rate, she's already aware of just how addicted she is to him. an endless amount of moans mixed with whimpers continues to escape from her mouth, his steady pace combined with the doubled effects of the riptide mark makes her write beneath him, feeling as though he has complete and total control over her body but archons, she's enjoying every second of it. ]

Archons, Tartaglia! Haah, your cock is incredible.

[ a finger slips under his harness and in a swift motion, pulls him in for yet another heated kiss, desperate to taste more of his tongue. it's a short but sloppy kiss as she breaks away, her fingers release the leather strap, slinging back to his impressive chiseled chest. listening to him causes a spark to light within her, he plans to take her further out, huh? she's looking forward to seeing if he can live up to those words. ]

Mr. Harbinger, you truly are a worthy adversary— Oooh! [ she stops to throw her head back, squealing in bliss at a particularly good spot he hits. ] B-But, I'm not close to being done yet. It's going to take a lot more— Aahh... to triumph over me.

[ somehow, even in the depths of overwhelming pleasure, yoimiya manages to gaze up at her opponent, a devilish smirk tugging at the corners of her lips. while her goal is most definitely to edge tartaglia on into the darkest pits of lust, her words are also a blanket permission for the harbinger to handle her body anyway he wants, to indulge himself however he pleases. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[Tartaglia lets his hands dig a little into her hips, pressing his fingers into the soft skin there as he's pulled into another kiss. He knew that harness was going to earn its keep, a jolt of excitement firing up his spine when she takes control of him for that brief moment. Yoimiya continues to prove how attractive and sexy she is, living off of her words of praise and getting consumed by her taunts even though he's gotten her to release for him twice already. It's bold, and he loves it, and he's going to make her live up to those words while enjoying every second of this little spar they're having in the bath.

Even that look she gives him eggs him on, feeling something inside of him come to life, the feeling akin to finding a worthy opponent to fight in a battle to the death. Except now, it was Yoimiya, the object of all his affections, his young heart swearing he'll do anything for her as long as he lived.]

I wouldn't have it any other way, Yoimiya.

[Another hitched breath as he sinks into her once more, her sex leading him down the path to utter madness with every thrust.]

Let's see how you handle this.

[It's so unbelievably hard to concentrate, but his determination sets in over any loss of control he's suffered thus far. Water seems to swirl around Yoimiya at his command, supporting her and lifting her in the water as currents give Tartaglia the means to slowly move backwards towards the center of the bath. Unfortunately, he'll have to stop his thrusting briefly- but that's where the water and his mark come in, making sure to continue to stimulate Yoimiya while they glide through the water backwards.

The Harbinger makes sure to angle his love so that her body has now submerged completely under the water save for her neck and head, almost as if she were lying down on a bed made of the water itself. But he doesn't stop there, his focus now on manipulating the water around her breasts, letting it massage them and roll her nipples for him while his hands continue to knead into her hips.]

Let me know how this feels, will you?

[Now that he has her in a better position, he continues his own thrusts and begins to chase after his own climax. Unrestrained groans and whines increase in volume as he rolls his hips against her own, until the sight of his beloved quivering beneath him coupled with the building fire in his core causes him to finally lose himself. Yoimiya's name is a chant that he can't stop, now that she's become the fog that clouds his brain and takes control of all of his senses. She's all he can think about, the crashing waves of the pleasure she brings him overpower him finally and he lets out a keen as he releases himself with a shudder, reaching that high he's craved for since they arrived at the hot spring.

Tartaglia thrusts a few last times into her, slow and tired as he bends over to support her back as he pulls out, the sensation biting into him from how sensitive he was, completely breathless.]

Yoimiya...ahhhh...that was incredible.

[niwabi]

[ any other words of provocations yoimiya might have had dissolves into nothing the moment she notices the water's currents wrap around her. before she could even process what's happening, she's being pulled back and guided towards the center of the hot springs. tartaglia's mastery over hydro is truly a sight to behold, the way he used the water to his advantage to pleasure her is creative beyond words and their first time together will be a memory she'll always cherish thanks to him. however, yoimiya doesn't have time to bask in the splendor of his hydro powers, the riptide's nonstop assault on her clit had been consuming her mind. tartaglia's ideas doesn't even end there, the moment she's laid on her back, she could feel the water currents playing with her breasts. in one fell swoop, he's successfully hit all her pleasure points, causing the blonde's body to tremble, groans growing louder she's being engulfed in a deluge of continuous stimulation.

the new position he takes her in somehow, feels even better than earlier, every nerve feels like it's on fire as he plunges deeper into her. the harbinger completely has her at his mercy, she's babbling mess underneath him, her voice is a mix of cries and whimpers, going on about how much she enjoys his dick, how much she loves getting fucked by him, how she doesn't want him to stop. each slam of his hips causes her to shout out his name, thoughts of her lover having long since completely taken over her mind. ]

G-Good! Oooh Archons... it's too good! Tartaglia, you're so nngh— amazing!

[ she lets out a sharp cry, moaning out a mantra his name over and over again when tartaglia hits his climax point. the moment she feels him shuddering, she locks her legs around his waist to ensure that the flood of his release is completely spilled into her. the sensation of his orgasm is the final breaking point for her and shortly after, she's reached the pinnacle of her ecstasy, coming around him for the third time as he's finishing out the last few slow thrusts.

as he pulls out, a small whine escapes from her lips, already starting to feel a little empty without him inside. with his support, she manages to steady herself upright, crashing into him as she collapses against his torso. yoimiya is utterly breathless as she rests her head against his chest. ]

Y-Yes... it was fantastic. I've never felt this good before.

[ tartaglia really did a number on her, there will most definitely be some soreness when she wakes up in the morning but that's no big deal. right now, all that matters to her is that they make the most out of their remaining time together. one of her fingers starts to circle around his chest, a small smile tugs at the corner of her lips as she's resting against him, fairly certain that she can hear the sounds of his racing heartbeat. ]

Are you okay? You look pretty spent.

[monoceroscaeli]

[The water around her body ceases as his climax ends, having felt her reach her own alongside him. Even the mark seems to stop for the moment, giving Yoimiya room to breathe and recover from the constant assault it brought on her senses. Tartaglia's breathing is labored, his body weak but feeling more incredible than he ever thought he could after something that wasn't a fierce battle to the death.

His arms wrap around her when she collapses against him, managing a small chuckle through heavy breaths, letting his forehead rest upon the top of her head. Her words of affirmation please him, proud that he'd made her feel amazing despite it being their first times together.]

I'm far more than okay, haha. I've never felt quite as satisfied as that. The way your hips moved against me, [he teases, letting his own hips sway back and forth playfully as he speaks,] all those cute little whines you let out, how incredible you made me feel...if I look exhausted, it's because you managed to give me an experience I won't soon forget.

[Admittedly, he is tired. Tartaglia never would have guessed how tired he'd actually become after having sex, unlike the handsies he's had to give himself up until this point. His dick slumps against his body, finally having gone limp after a few moments. If he only knew what was in store for him now, he might of taken more precautions to be ready for it...but of course, he thinks this is over, and now it's time to actually relax.

But he's temporarily forgotten about his challenge to Yoimiya's stamina...]

[niwabi]

[ there's a familiar feeling of fondness stiring within her heart as she's soaking in the bath, listening to tartaglia's words and basking in the warmth of his body heat, giggling as she feels his hips roll back and forth. his satisfaction brings her joy and she's beyond elated to hear that he'll never forget this night. she shares the same sentiment, this is easily one of the most happiest moments of her life and the memory of their first time together will forever be engraved in her heart.

however...

unbeknownst to her lover, yoimiya had been timing out the seconds in her head. once she's counted out ten, the serene smile on her lips curves into a devious smirk. ]

Since you're okay, I guess that means you'll be fine for the next round. [ next round??? ] After all, you were the one wondering if I could keep up with a Harbinger's stamina. So if I'm still fine, I take it you must have plenty of fire left in you too, right?

[ before yoimiya could even give the harbinger time to respond, she's already hooking a finger under his harness. her hand grips on the leather strap and without any ounce of hesistation, starts guiding him along as if he were her pet being pulled along by his leash. once they've made it to one of the nearby rock ledges, she coerces him into sitting down. the tired expression on his face says it all, she figures that the least she could do is allow him to get comfortable and sit still for a moment. besides, she definitely does not mind taking the lead and it shows in the way she's licking her lips and eying up his now limp dick. ]

Mm, we're going to have to get you primed and ready for round two. Hehe, I think I know the perfect trick to help you out.

[ positioning herself in front of him, yoimiya quickly drops down to her knees, submerging the lower half of her body into the water. she wraps her fingers around his soft length, nestling it in-between her breasts. although he's not near as hard as earlier, the heat of him pressed against her chest is enough to get her fired up and raring to go once more. using the water as a slick coating, she's easily able to start sliding against his shaft, bobbing him up and down while she keeps her tits squeezed around him. every so often, she licks the tip, dragging her tongue along the head of his cock. ]

Tartaglia, you did such a good job pleasuring me in our first spar that I thought you deserve a reward. It's as they say, to the victor go the spoils.

[ in a rare instance of surrender, she is happy to admit that tartaglia came out the winner in the first round. so naturally, the victor should receive a reward, his prize being: the lewd sight of yoimiya pleasuring him with her soft, round breasts. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

Hey now-!

[This is what he gets for letting his guard down.

The minute she smirks at him, he knows he's made a grave mistake somewhere along the line. A small wha? comes out of him, his upper body being pulled along causing him to follow her to the rock ledge, his face an expression of pure confusion. He's exhausted, having underestimated how tired he would be after finally reaching his climax, his legs feeling like jello with every step. And yet, he still follows faithfully, his mind still clouded from a few moments ago.

Tartaglia finds himself sitting, his eyes gazing upward at a hungry Yoimiya looking like she just found herself a nice meal to eat.]

...Round two? Hey, you have to give me at least a few more min...utes...

[His protest is cut short, watching her drop down, his pupils dilating as she places him between her breasts. A part of him says that he's too tired, that he should rest, but another part of him lights up at the sight and sensation of Yoimiya pleasuring him with her chest. His dick begins to harden once more, very much betraying him and his want to take a breather, the sensitive skin sending small shocks through him with every bob of her body. Yoimiya's tongue is the nail in the coffin, heat blooming in his groin with every lick and drag she administers.]

Oh...

[The Harbinger twitches beneath her, his eyes a little unfocused and unable to keep himself from staring at her while she works him up and down, his erection full and on display.]

...how are you doing this to me, ngh, ah, Yoimiya...how unfair of you...

[He says that, but Tartaglia can only manage to moan in pure delight, unable to hide his pleasure from her. It's a wonderful prize, but yet at the same time he feels as if she was the one winning here, slowly sinking into helplessness underneath her. He's got a feeling he's not going to win round two.]

[niwabi]

[ for a passing moment, yoimiya totally forgets about the splendor of fireworks and instead, finds the sight of tartaglia's maddening descent into lust to be a much more breathtaking display. while the sensation of his length sliding in and out of her cleavage feels wonderful, the needy noises he makes combined with the exhausted yet also desperate expression plaguing his face adds to her immense satisfaction. she takes pride in the way he calls her unfair, there's something so extra gratifying about being the one to drag the harbinger into the depths of depravity with her.

although the attention he's receiving from her breasts might have been referred to as his reward, the sight of his limp dick growing hard and fully erect felt like her own prize she earned. a mischievous glint sparkles in her golden eyes as she stares at him with a smug grin, looking like a eager brat that got exactly what she wanted. her lips kisses the stiff tip as she continues to bob her breasts against his shaft. ]

Oh? You got hard faster than I expected. I'm impressed. You certainly are weak to my breasts.

[ pulling him out of her chest, she stands back up to tug on his harness in order to sit him back down in the water. yoimiya kneels above him, lining up the head of his dick just below her soaking sex. as she lowers her hips, the riptide's mark is back in full force, pulsating and vibrating against her clit with the same amount of intense pleasure she's indulging herself in. she takes him all the way down, the sensation of feeling so wet and tight around him completely taking over her senses, moaning in pure bliss at the feeling of being filled to the brim by him once again. ]

So good... aah— s-so beyond good. Your cock truly is amazing, Tartaglia. I'm already so addicted to you.

[ now that she's completely mounted onto him, she places her hands on his chest to steady herself and begins to buck her hips. she starts off slow, moving up and down in a deliberate manner in order to feel every inch of his throbbing erection. he feels absolutely amazing. yoimiya know she's already addicted to him past the point of return, she loves how large and thick he is, the way she tightly squeezes around him as she's riding him in his lap. she loves every second of this moment. nonstop lustful noises continue to escape from her lips as the slapping noises of their hips coming into contact with one another echoes throughout the bath. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[The passing thought of if she had this planned all along the moment he'd issued he challenge to her comes bubbling to the surface of his mind, realizing at the same time as her that he was completely entranced by her boobs, enhanced by the fact that she was the one taking the initiative to have him fuck them until he was rock hard. Was he truly weak to them, unable and unwilling to pull away? It's a question he doesn't get to think much on, because as soon as she's done making the statement she's pulling him out from between them. The Harbinger instantly feels a longing for something to fill the void around his shaft, his expression betraying an offended look that she'd steal something so good away from him.

He hadn't meant to express it, but she's ignited an eager need that lights up inside of him, and his body begins to crave again for more. Tartaglia tries to quickly wipe that expression from his face, afraid that his opponent here has already seen it and knows exactly what to do to him from here to further break him down. And his suspicion seems to be correct- she moves him easily by his harness, sitting down exactly where and how she wants him to as his eyes grow even larger when Yoimiya positions herself and takes him fully inside.]

Ah-! Yoimiya-!

[The void he'd felt is replaced by her tight walls closing on him once more, no hesitation on her end to fill herself completely with his length. White hot fire races across his entire body, his jaw slacking as he looks up at her, eyes glassy. She'd taken complete advantage of him, and all his mind can do is silently beg her to fuck him and make him hers. Her praise fills his ears and feeds his ego once more, happy to please her and wishing now to be able to do so again. His attempt to fight back is feeble, the bucking of her hips slowly mesmerizing him as he watches her slide up and down, the methodical movements shooting lightning bolts of pleasure through his spine.]

You shouldn't...ngh...get so cozy with...ah...a Haraaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.....

[He can't finish his sentence, with one particular pass of her walls tightening around his manhood erasing any thoughts he had for a wave of bliss that wracks his body, involuntarily causing his own hips to roll against hers with a new fervor. He can feel himself getting addicted to her, loving how she worked him as if she'd known how he's ticked for his whole life, as if someone had handed her his blueprints and now she's just working his controls like a professional. His hands grip into her ass as he moans endlessly for her, somehow finding her position over him so much more pleasing than when he'd finished inside of her not but a few minutes ago.]

You're so sexy, archons, I'm already there...please, [he begs, his eyes the shape of moons, filled only with the sight of her,] just a little more. Please, Yoimiya...

[niwabi]

[ yoimiya hums in amusement watching him drown so far down into pleasure that he's not able to finish his sentence, she's pretty sure he was going to say, "you shouldn't get so cozy with a harbinger." while it doesn't bother her in the slightest, if word got out about her relationship with the harbinger, she wouldn't hear the end of it, other people might even look at her with suspicion of being alinged with a high-ranking member of the fatui.

they're both far in too deep to stop this. he's fulfilled her needs more than anyone else, never before has she felt so emotionally and physically connected with someone in her life. even as she's pushing herself down onto his length, she's flooded with thoughts of absolute joy. she's so happy that tartaglia gets to be the first person to see her nude body, the lewd display of her breasts bouncing in rhythm to her hips, the pure expression of ecstasy consuming her face as she's clearly enjoying his dick in the way she fully takes all of him in. ]

I want this so badly Tartaglia, to cozy up with you— aah! [ his own hips bucking into her causes her to momentarily stop, savouring the wonderful sensation of sinking all the way down onto him. ] Y-You are right, you're making me want to go back to Snezhnaya with you. I'd love nothing more than to be with you... nnh... to have sex with you every single day.

[ the pleading look in his eyes fills her entire being with so much pleasure. since he's begging so nicely, she's thrilled to give him what he wants, always eager to fulfill his desires. she brings her arms around his neck, her own desires taking over as she crashes her lips into his, tangling their tongues together and moaning into his mouth at the feelings of his fingers gripping into her ass. there's a bit of reluctance as she breaks away from the sloppy kiss, feeling the need to breathe and so she can put all of her focus on finishing him off the way he's asking her to.

with newfound vigor, yoimiya picks up the pace and puts all of her power into her hips, pushing down onto him with deep, tight thrusts. she can feel every inch of him so perfectly, the wet friction of him sliding in and out her sends a wave of pure electric bliss throughout her entire core. listening to his delicious moans elicits even more needy mewls out of her. a mantra of his name is all that she can think about, thoughts of how much she loves him and how good he feels is all that crosses her mind. he's done so much for her and she wants nothing more than to return all the affection and pleasure he's bestowed. ]

Mm, yes. I'm always happy to give you whatever you want. You can— aah come inside me as much as you'd like. I'm getting close too...

[ the riptide's assault against her sensitive clit ripples throughout her being, submerging her further into the sea of pure pleasure. with one last push, her whole body trembles as she plunges all the way down, tightening around him and coming against his length once more. a moan that's been trapped in her throat is finally drawn out, turning into a sharp, desperate cry of his name. ]

Tartaglia—!

[monoceroscaeli]

[The last bit of his sanity leaves him as she captures his lips, drinking all of Yoimiya in as she pleasures him, eyes rolling back until they close so the only thing he can focus on is her body interlocking with his own. Tartaglia kisses her back with a fervor that could rival his own bloodlust for combat, giving in completely to the ministrations she gives him. His hips continue to buck upwards into her, meeting her own thrusts to let himself sink completely into her with every motion, crying out in ecstasy when she finally breaks their kiss. Duty, battle, schemes- none of it matters to him now, fully under control of Yoimiya and her body.

His expression grows more and more desperate and needy for her as they continue, pleasure wracking his own body as she moans his name over and over, sending him into a frenzy to reach their climaxes. His hands grip tighter into her, eyes filled with love and lust as she builds him further and further up.]

Ngh, just like that Yoimiya, yes, that feels so good, don't stop, ah-!

[It's too much for him to take any longer, the tremble of her body as she comes being the trigger that ends his own fight. Her walls grip him so tightly as she comes down on him that the overpowering pleasure that surges through him causes Tartaglia to spill completely into her, his entire body shuddering with delight as his body moves on its own to finish the job. Slowly, there's a few last bucks from him, a sharp gasp that devolves into tired yet satisfied moans on his end.]

Yoimiya, archons, Yoimiya...

[His hands fall limply down from her, his breathing hard and his body weakening beneath her. Every nerve is on fire, but he couldn't move even if he wanted to, twitching at any movement from her. Everything is sensitive and his mind still feels as if he's lost in a fog, eyes closing to bask in the bliss that still lingers.

Tartaglia looks absolutely exhausted, lying defeated under Yoimiya. Not that he minds the loss.]

[niwabi]

[ the overflow of his climax pouring into her sends yoimiya into a mind-numbing ecstasy, unrestrained groans melting into continuous chants of his name. her whole body trembles at the last few bucks of his hips, her voice whimpers out a string of phrases: yes, please, i need you, please fill me up. she wants nothing more than to milk him dry as they ride out the remaining high of their pleasure.

once he's finished, she moves her hips one last time, allowing him to slide out of her as she crumbles into a heap against his chest while sitting in his lap. there's a sense of pride swelling in her chest as she stares at him with half-lidded eyes, he's completely and totally exhausted. tartaglia wears the expression of an opponent that fought honorably to the very end. at the very least, this first spar can be considered a draw. yoimiya's own body feels utterly spent as she's breathless against him. he pushed her stamina to the absolute brink and she enjoyed every second of it. ]

That was... wonderful. [ it's hard to articulate full sentences, the combination of her sensitive body and lingering euphoria overtaking her senses. ] Mm, you're incredible.

[ if it's any consolation, tartaglia is the first and only person to completely tire her out like this. a harbinger's stamina truly is on a whole new level. with what remaining energy the blonde has left, she brings her hand to the side of his face, gently stroking his cheek with her fingers. a tired but compassionate smile tugs on the corners of her mouth as she moves in to capture his lips with her own. unlike their lust ridden tongue battles in the heat of their passion, this kiss is much more tender, filled with all of the love and adoration yoimiya has for the harbinger. a silent oath that she wants to be with him and him alone. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[Tartaglia emits one last groan as he slides out of her, his arm coming up as his hand rests on her lower back as she lays against his chest. Yoimiya's warmth soothes him, relaxing into her touch while giving her a soft smile to meet her own heavily lidded eyes. It looks like she didn't come out of this unscathed either, silently amused at how tired she is too, appreciative of how much effort she'd put forth just to please him. His other hand combs through her hair, tilting his head just so to get a better look at her.]

So are you.

[Yoimiya cuts off any other thoughts he had, the brush of her fingers making his skin tingle beneath them as he meets her halfway to sink into her kiss. Tartaglia's eyes close, letting his lips caress her own in languid strokes, gentle and caring in their manner. The feeling of love and affection blooms in his chest, the Harbinger easily falling deeper in love with Yoimiya, this kind and courageous girl he's just met during his stay here in Inazuma. There's a simply joy to be appreciated here, one that he's never had the opportunity to feel before, sighing with content into their kiss when he lets that feeling fill him.

All he wants is to be able to have this again and again, and Tartaglia's creative mind is excited to think of all the different ways to achieve it with her.]

Hey, [he says when they finally break,] so you're ready for round three now, right?

[He cocks his head, giving her the biggest shit-eating grin- he's absolutely not serious. There's no way he could handle her again.]

1/2

[niwabi]

[ there's a glimmer in her golden eyes as she shifts her gaze to look up, staring at him with an expression of yearning. ]

Oh? You're an expert at knowing what I want. Have you prepared yourself, Harbinger?

2/2

[niwabi]

Nah, I'm just kidding. You're the first person that's completely tuckered me out like this.

[ that shit-eating grin gave it away, if it wasn't for that darn smirk, yoimiya might have thought he was being serious. the harbinger's stamina is quite incredible, being able to handle two rounds of consecutive sex is an impressive feat on it's own, especially since it was their first time. it makes her look forward to seeing how he's going to be in the future once they become more accustomed to intimacy.

but for now, she's more than happy to enjoy the simple pleasure of soaking in the hot springs with him. an elated sigh escapes from her lips as she rests her head against his chest. at this moment, she wants nothing more than to bask in his warmth and spend his remaining time in inazuma in bliss like this. ]

Besides, you look quite exhausted yourself. I think it's safe to say that I tired you out.

[ a tired giggle escapes from her lips but somehow, she still has the energy to tease him back, sticking her tongue out at him. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[There's a split second where he's not sure if he's about to have to put his money where is mouth is, finding the glint in her eyes exciting and yet unsure if he would actually be able to satisfy her, given she isn't pulling his leg. Inwardly, he breathes a sigh of relief when he finds she was doing exactly that, already in awe of her own stamina. But that doesn't stop him from wearing his performance like a badge of honor, happy that he had pleased her enough to make her have to finally rest, feeling himself relax even farther as the two of them melt into each other in the warmth of the bath and themselves.]

My, you sound confident. [Look at that tongue of hers!] ...But if it weren't true, I would delight in making you eat your words.

[He laughs himself, looking down at her with admiration, happily admitting that she really did tire him out. Tartaglia lets a few moments of silence pass as they soak in the water, content to sit there for a while to simply appreciate being close to her, so much so that he doesn't notice his head nodding involuntarily, tiredness setting in quickly from the heat of Yoimiya and the bath lulling him to sleep.

He can feel his eyes start to close, his breaths slowing down and becoming more deep, his mind feeling completely at ease with her enough that he doesn't seem to mind putting himself in such a vulnerable state. He's going to be lightly snoring in a matter of seconds unless she wakes him up.]

[niwabi]

[ his own admission to being exhausted fills her with a sense of accomplishment. she's happy to satisfy him so well that he feels the urge to rest. yoimiya hopes precious moments between the two of them will be everlasting, that she'll always get to wake up snuggled against his warm body after a night filled with pleasure. ]

Is that so? I'd like to see you try. [ the playful challenge lingers in the air, causing her to pause before letting out another tired giggle. ] If we weren't both exhausted, that is.

[ at first, silence fills the room until yoimiya's ears perk up at the sound of tartaglia's light snoring. she lifts her head up to get a good look, her heart immediately fluttering at the sight of her sleepy beloved. he truly is handsome, his tousled hair, sweaty body and look of pure satisfaction on his face makes for a picturesque view. everytime she gets a good look at him, yoimiya feels like she's the luckiest girl in all of teyvat, she's so happy to have him in her life and has never felt this fulfilled before. he looks so relaxed. for someone as battle-hardened as tartaglia, she's flattered to see that he feels so comfortable in her presence that he's able to peacefully drift off. although there's a part of her that wants to let him rest and even feels guilty about waking him up, she's not sure if sleeping in the hot springs is the best idea.

her tone of voice is soft when she calls out his name a few times, not wanting to startle him too much. ]

Hey, Tartaglia... do you want to go sleep at the nearby inn?

[monoceroscaeli]

[It barely feels as if he's closed his eyes at all, the only indicator that he might of dozed off is the soft calling of his name. Tartaglia's eyes flutter open slowly, unaware of how much time has passed if any at all, looking down sleepily to the lovely view of Yoimiya looking up at him from his chest. The question doesn't register completely for a few moments, until he realizes she's probably asking because he did in fact fall asleep for a minute or two there.]

Haha, I fell asleep, didn't I? Sorry...perhaps I'm a bit more tired than I thought...

[Still feeling relaxed, he doesn't budge an inch to get up at all, finding the motivation to move difficult. There's not many more places he'd rather be in the world right now, content under her weight on his chest and being able to appreciate having the one person in this world who's brought him more joy and excitement than anyone else has resting upon him. It's a moment he wishes would last, before he seeks out his next thrilling battle to the death, and he can only hope that this is something he'll be able to return to time and time again later down the line.

But maybe that line of thought isn't something he should worry about right now, chuckling and blinking back sleep.]

I wouldn't want to cut our time short here, however, if you wanted to stay. We do have it for the remainder of the night.

[Tartaglia gives her a wink- he made sure that they would have plenty of time.]

[niwabi]

Hehe, don't be sorry, silly. It's only natural you'd be spent after all the hard work you did.

[ one of her fingers circles around his pecs as she makes sure to put an extra emphasis on the hard work part of her statement. the man certainly did work hard, going above and beyond to make sure she's thoroughly satisfied. tartaglia has made this night one that she'll remember for the rest of her life and she couldn't be anymore grateful to be able to share such a wonderful experience with him. ]

Ah, that's right. You did spend that large amount of mora to allow us to stay here for the rest of the evening.

[ that cheeky wink causes her to giggle. oh yes, yoimiya will also never forget how he nearly made her fall over with the humble amount of five-hundred thousand mora he used as bargaining bait with the bathhouse's owner. ]

Staying here would be lovely but, you look like you could use a good night's rest. Will you be okay sleeping here?

[monoceroscaeli]

[Look at this girl, he can't help but grin at her 'hard work' statement. Sexual innuendos aside, he ponders that question. Tartaglia hadn't planned on staying here through the morning, and in fact hadn't thought that far ahead past their current stay in the hot springs. There was still plenty more alcohol to drink, more time to spend with each other.]

Honestly, the faster I truly fall asleep, the faster morning arrives. I'm not willing to let the remainder of my time here go so easily. I'm thankful you woke me back up- I would have hated myself in the morning knowing that I'd wasted what little time I have left with you.

[Tartaglia lets his gaze fall over her, giving her a soft smile as his eyes meet her own, before they break and stare down into the water at their side. The question on his mind is selfish and he knows it, but he knows what his heart wants and the worst thing Yoimiya can say is no. An answer he's prepared for, and expects.]

Are you sure there isn't a way I could convince you to get on the boat with me tomorrow?

[A wish that he's sure can't be fulfilled, the question asked almost half jokingly. Yoimiya already made it known that she can't even really travel all that much, and he already has to move around enough for his job.]

[niwabi]

[ for a moment, yoimiya considers taking tartaglia up on his offer. saying that she wants to go back to snezhnaya with him to have sex with him everyday had not just been simply dirty talk. she desired nothing more than to always be by his side. although they only just started dating, she's fairly certain that she's fallen deeper in love with him more than she even realizes.

unfortunately, she's sadly aware that it's nothing but a passing dream that can't be fulfilled right now. ]

I'm so sorry, Tartaglia. I truly do want to go with you. If I was capable of leaving, I would.

[ not being able to grant his wish hurts her. especially since he's willing to forgo sleep just to spend every last moment with her. tartaglia's done so much for her and she would love to do the same. it hurts to feel like she's not able to give him whatever he wants. ]

I just can't leave my dad and the shop behind.

[ it pains her to say no, yoimiya could feel her heart ache at the thought of their inevitable separation. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[Yeah, that was the answer he expected. The Harbinger only smiles softly and holds her closer to him regardless, the somber moment making her presence all the more meaningful. He doesn't want to leave Inazuma with her having to dwell on melancholic thoughts, so he silently resolves to do whatever he can to bring her happiness from here on out until he can no longer see her on the shore.]

I figured that would be your answer. I understand how hard it is to leave- my own father's health is declining, but I enjoy the privilege of someone helping to take care of my family while I'm away. But for you...I know you're all he's got.

[It's a trait that he adores about her, and even if he has to say goodbye tomorrow, he'd never want her to change that. It warms his heart to know that Yoimiya valued her own family as much as he values his, and he'd be lying if that didn't draw him closer to her.]

Maybe we should focus on enjoying the night rather than worrying about what hasn't yet come to pass. C'mon, I want a little more of that sake you brought with. I've hardly reached my limit and I think a little fun could be had with a few more drinks.

[He winks at her- time to party like a Snezhnayan.]

[niwabi]

[ feelings of regret swirl around within, although her mind is telling her that it's far too soon to commit to giving up her life in inazuma to move in with tartaglia, her heart felt an immense pang of guilt at not being able to fulfill his wish. for a short moment, yoimiya's gaze downcast into the water, her normally shiny, bright eyes look a bit more gloomy than usual until she's perked backed up by the warmth of her beloved's arms. a small smile tugs on the corners of her lips as she melts into his touch and allows herself to be enveloped by him. ]

Thank you for being so kind and understanding, Tartaglia. If there's anything I can do to help your dad, let me know. I'll be happy to send any sort of medicine and herbs to your family.

[ throughout her whole life, yoimiya has only ever heard bad things about the fatui. countless people have told her that she needs to stay away from them and not get involved. however, tartaglia is different from all of them. sure, he might engage in methods that she doesn't approve of but at the end of the day, he's a kind-hearted man that puts his family first. there's a lot more to him than just his harbinger status and deep down, she knows he's a good person.

thankfully, the somber mood is lifted by the harbinger's incredible tolerance for alcohol. look at that wink... it's enough to send her into a small giggling fit. ]

Hehe, you Snezhnayans really can handle your alcohol. But you're right! We still haven't even touched the Dandelion Wine.

[ when she dragged tartaglia by his harness, she had luckily brought him close to where the drinks were still sitting at. since she's still a little tired, it takes her a minute to peel herself from his lap but she can imagine that his legs probably still feel like jelly thanks to her. slowly, she grabs the bottle of cold sake and places it in his hands while she takes a seat besides him. ]

What sort of fun did you have in mind? I do have to say, I was really impressed with how you controlled the water during our little spar.

[monoceroscaeli]

[There's really no need for her to make an offer like that to help his family out, and he could easily tell her as such. He's got all the resources in the world at his fingertips, but it touches him nonetheless that she wants to help. So instead, he nods and gives her a soft thank you in response.

But tonight is supposed to be for their entertainment, thinking that the Dandelion Wine will surely be a special taste to accentuate their night. Tartaglia feels a small sense of longing for her to return to her place on top of him once she picks herself up to fetch the drinks, pushing himself up completely by his arms so he can sit properly and take the bottle from her. The man takes a swig from it, letting the cold liquid slide down his throat. Thankfully they bought quite a bit of alcohol...this will take a lot more than that to really get him buzzed.]

Hah. Spend more time with me and you're going to be engrossed with competition even more than you already are, if you're already thinking of our time spent together like that.

[He loves that she thinks of it that way, amused wholly by someone else likening any activity to battle. Usually, that's what he does...he knew he liked her for a reason.]

I figured you'd appreciate my mastery of my own abilities...you know, in Fontaine, I heard they have quite the waterpark that one can enjoy in the summer. I bet I could devise something similar in here...if you're not scared.
