[He can tell by the expression on her face what's going through her head. There's an internal war with herself going on, one between wanting and expecting him to lean in and kiss her senseless, the other wanting to turn and run so she could compose herself, regroup, and rebuff his advance. But Childe has no intention in giving her the opportunity to regain control of herself, noting how she stares at his lips and gazes at him with an affection he swears he's only seen in flashes before they were gone again, as if they'd never existed to begin with. In this moment, he seems to have entranced her enough and gotten her to think about letting him in that she stays, willing to explore this avenue with him, but not of course without a warning.
One that he was well aware of the minute he reached out for her hand. Of course it would be complicated, it was always going to be complicated whether this happened or not. It's just now, only a breadth away from each other, will he deepen that complication between her, himself, her sibling, and this world.
And he doesn't feel an ounce of remorse for it.]
Come now, you know I wouldn't joke about this. We'll figure it out and work through it, [he says, letting his voice take on a silky, comforting tone to soothe her nerves, his eyes lidding halfway as he begins to turn his head and press inward towards her. His free hand comes to rest on her cheek, cupping it and letting his thumb trace the cheekbone there, holding her gaze with his eyes to lock her in place.]
There's nothing that you and I can't accomplish together. Just relax, Lumine.
[Tartaglia's eyes close as he gently presses his lips to hers, slotting them slowly together until they're finally locked together in a kiss that he'd been craving for archons knows how long. She tastes as sweet as the cake they'd both been eating not too long ago, savoring it as he caresses her lips with loving, soft passes. Slowly, he opens his mouth just so, so his tongue can search and twine with her own in a dance for two.
He can feel his entire body light up with want, affection pouring out of him into their kiss, his chest buzzing in excitement and his head light and clouded from the feel of their connection. He'll kiss her as long as she lets him, content to drink in the brush of her lips against his for any amount of time, as tiny little content noises bubble up out of him as they kiss.]
DEAL WITH IT PAIMON THEY'RE AN ITEM NOW AND NO SQUEAKING IS GUNNA CHANGE THAT
