gotta check myself 'cause I just can't believe / that you were in my heart, you were in my head

[monoceroscaeli]

[Regrettably, he knew he had to go, to return to Snezhnaya on the call of The Jester to join the new project that was moving forward. It'd been nice being in Fontaine, and with all his heart he wishes he could have stayed a while longer, even if it were just to help out the House of the Hearth while he was still recovering. His cough was still ragged and his body still felt a little weak, and Childe would never let anything like that stop him from moving forward and pushing himself- but for now, he'll have to accept that he'll need to take it a little easy as he travels back to the homeland. Still, he would have loved to of had a little sparring session against Lumine or Arlecchino before he left...such is the transient nature of a Harbinger always on the move. Sighing with resignation, he heads back to the Court of Fontaine, to prepare for the journey back...it wouldn't be a short trip, and he'll milk all the time he can out of this before he has to deal with the responsibilities he'll have to take care of.

Maybe if he's lucky, he'll get to run into Lumine again before he leaves. The timing was both impeccable and terrible, only getting to see her for such a short amount of time and it wasn't even alone. He can hope for a reunion, but he knows the chances are slim...

Luckily for him, the Northland Bank is located in Fontaine as well, so while the House of the Hearth stays relocated in Poisson for the time being, he can get himself a nice place to stay while getting ready to leave. On one such day, he's out and about in the city proper to buy a few things for the trip back, a few bags in his hands, enjoying the fresh air. As his eyes scan over the shops for somewhere else to stop at, he swears he sees the tiniest sliver of white flash around a corner, eyes widening in surprise. Was that who he thought it was...?

Curiosity gets the better of him, abandoning his task for the moment to chase after the white-clad figure, hoping and praying that he'll be greeted with the sight of those familiar golden locks that he's longed to see again. Childe's steps pick up the pace, not realizing how fast his heart is racing now, eyes darting back and forth as they sweep over the crowd in hopes of catching a glance of what he thinks he saw. For a moment, he's certain that he's lost her, lost whatever he was chasing after, but from behind him is the unmistakable lilt of a voice that's all too familiar in his ears.

Turning around, he sees her, she's right there at one of the displays outside of a shop, and his whole body fills with joy. Wasting no time, Childe closes the distance between them, his voice bright despite his condition.]

Comrade! What a coincidence! Here I thought our last meeting would be the last time I'd see you for a while.

Comments

[viatriix]

( The anxiousness in his eyes brought her own eyes to to smile for her, humming in delight against him; to see him responding to her ministrations so positively. She worried her lack of experience was going to ruin it, but her confidence went even higher knowing the opposite. It felt good seeing and hearing him react to her blowjob. To make him feel as good as he did for her was erotic. )

Mmmm mhmmmmm....

( With that boost of confidence, she bobs her head a little faster, taking more of him a little deeper than before. But still making up for the lack of space with her hand. The hand in her hair and she was absolutely ready for what's to come. She can already taste his precum on her tongue the longer she bobs her head. Making sure she sucks him into insanity, taking a quick peak under her lashes up at him to watch him come undone.

Her free hand on his thigh for balance and massaging it too, she can't help but moan and hum against him. The hand on his thigh moves to gently caress his balls, extremely careful with them, wondering if it helps him to feel good. But she was ready, she could feel herself wet with this action and watching him get off.

She smiles with her eyes up at him, taking a moment to stop and suck on his head, before continuing to bob her head to her limit. )

[monoceroscaeli]

[Just when he thought that he was getting used to the steady pace she's set, she speeds up and lets him sink deeper into her mouth. Tartaglia isn't sure if it's that action or how her tongue teases and wraps around his cock now that sets a trigger off in him.

The world seems to melt away with the speed of which she's sucking him off now, and his eyes visibly lose their focus as his jaw drops from the pure ecstasy now racing through his veins. He feels like his body just lit on fire, burning brighter and brighter with every stroke of her hand and every pass of her tongue and cheeks against his sensitive skin. His words go from coherent to not, moans and noises of delight taking precedence as he very much comes undone from underneath her. His hands move feverishly through her hair, his body twitches more and more frequently as the steady build of pleasure now surges through him, her name is a chant on his lips now that his mind has become an incoherent mess of Lumine and her mouth upon him.]

Lumine, ohhhh, Lumine. Lumine...

[It's his turn to lose control of himself, his body driven now by Lumine and her ministrations upon him- and that build, that pressure reaches a climax that ends with a full release of his essence right into her waiting mouth. His breath catches in his throat for a moment, before a guttural moan echoes out of him accompanied by a symphony of cries and wails of Lumine.]

Oh-!!! Lumine, ahhhhh!!!! Lumine, yes...oh, oh archons...

[His dick shudders one last time, spilling all of himself into her mouth before he feels his back go numb and his body crest with pleasure. Childe's eyes close for a moment, to lie there in the bask of the afterglow of his orgasm, body sensitive to the touch and his thoughts a mess.]

You did...so good. Goodness...

[viatriix]

( Lumine couldn't take her eyes off of him as he was building up to his release. Wondering if this was how he felt when he saw how much pleasure his actions had caused her. It was erotic and beautiful, her heart hammering as her name spilled from his lips in ecstasy.

A long hum against his erection to his hands running through her hair like that, eyes glazed over in affection and much deeper emotions. Deeper than she thought she'd be able to give. To want to give him this pleasure and even more, not stopping for a single moment. To hear him get off and watch his body arch, she knew it was coming from his dick twitching in her mouth. But, she wasn't as prepared for it.

Doing her absolute best to swallow as much as she can of orgasm, that she was swallowing to fast she nearly choked. But she did as best she could. Popping her mouth off, making sure her lips cleaned his dick of his cum on the way up. Sat up on his thighs, moving her hand slowly, to help him ride out his orgasm. Wiping her lips with her thumb, staring down at him with a smile of pride from his praise. She'd done good and he enjoyed it very much. )

Who can handle who now, Childe?

( Small tease, as she finally lets go of him, hands on either side of her thighs to rest on her sheets. Smiling down at him with her tease, running her hand over his abdomen. To trail over old and newer scars, signs of his battles; grateful he escaped with only a scar for each one. )

I'm happy I made you feel as good as you did me.

[monoceroscaeli]

[He never would of thought that being on the receiving end of a blowjob like that would make him so tired, even if he hadn't really done anything at all. Childe gazes up at Lumine with a love drunk smile on his face, admiring how she taunts him from atop his own body, proving to him once again that she's full of surprises.

And he couldn't of asked for better.

An exhausted laugh escapes from him, unable to believe that she really drank all of him up, literally, even did him the favor of cleaning him up. Fate must have really been looking out for him to give him the chance meeting with her in Liyue. Never in a millions years could he of thought that saving her from the guards that day would lead to this, feeling like he's on cloud nine and basking in her radiance. He rubs her thigh affectionately, he's just happy that she's happy and that they both were able to please the other. Seems to him that they're a lot more alike than he thought even in the bedroom, enjoying the soft touch of her hand against his skin in the afterglow of his climax. There's a measure of love that's trailed behind her fingers there, warming his heart and relaxing his mind to know that Lumine feels the same way as him.]

Lay with me for a moment.

[He taps the side of the bed next to him, inviting her to come cuddle for a little bit- though there's an ulterior motive behind it, one he's only able to half hide. Despite the fact that she did a great job sucking him off, and he is tired and needs a break, his dick is still visibly hard...]

[viatriix]

( The affectionate rub of her thigh felt nice, a gesture of affection she wasn't used to but hopes to experience more of with him. It really felt nice and reassuring, like despite feeling like half her self is gone with Aether. Childe managed to fill her with so much happiness and ... love... that she can feel it from just his stare and touch alone.

Though she'll admit, she's surprised he is still hard after making him cum. But, she'd listen and comply with his request. The tap on the space beside him, she blinked before a soft smile appeared. Despite what they'd just done, she blushed lightly as she scooted to laying next to him. Wrapping an arm over him, she let a soft sigh escape; it felt nice, reminding her of how much she wanted to hug him in relief. And probably would have, had Arlecchino not been there at their reunion.

His previous confession in Fontaine rang in her head and she knew the feelings she was feeling now. This was an act she would only ever do with him, the emotions she has only for him, and spending alone time with him today made her so happy... This being the first time she didn't know how to say her thoughts, to say how she really feels. )

You are insatiable. I'm surprised.

[monoceroscaeli]

[Happy that she's coming down to lie with him, he coaxes her even closer so she can lay her head on his chest, to snuggle up and enjoy this moment while they have it. The feel of her against his body is soothing, like a gentle river flowing downstream that he can close his eyes and relax as it takes him downriver. It fills his heart and calms his mind, chasing away any of his otherwise battle-obsessed thoughts to fill it with the joy of spending this time with Lumine. And for the first time, he feels truly at peace, basking in the deep affection and endearment he has for her as he looks over to gaze into those dazzling, golden eyes of hers.]

Haha, what could you possibly mean by that?

[He's got an idea that she might be referring to how his body seems still primed for another round, but he grins boyishly at her instead. His free hand goes to play idly with a piece of her hair, reaching over to feel how nice it is to have the silk of her threads slip through his fingers, grateful that he's even afforded this chance.]

You know I'm always looking for a challenge.

[Acting dumb like his dick isn't as hard as a rock. (>ᴗ•)]

[viatriix]

( She takes his coaxes and moves even closer against his side, head resting on his chest. This was different than their moments of passion, this was intimacy that made her finally let a steady breath of relaxation out. To feel at ease and comforted. To feel like she wasn't alone. A gentle smile appearing on her face at the feelings she felt right now. Her heart hammering in her chest, the warmth she feels, the slight bashfulness she feels when she locks eyes with him.

Just staring at her hand as her finger traces constellations along his body, almost lost to the feelings. She really was going to miss him when he leaves, just knowing it'd be so long until they saw each other again. Letting out a breathy chuckle at his words, a soft roll of her eyes as she hummed in response. )

As if you don't know.

( She can hear the thrumming of his heart in his chest, and that alone brings her peace. Doing her best to look up at him without lifting her head, she'll just let a light laugh escape at the state of his hair now. Before looking back at her hand, continuing to draw her constellations. Acting as if it wasn't her own doing to mess his hair up. )

For once in so long, I feel genuinely happy...

[monoceroscaeli]

[Later when he's alone in his own bedroom, he'll think back and imagine how her finger traced shapes on his skin, relaxing together in her room, as if they didn't have a care in the world. She looks absolutely adorable resting against him like this, and he can't hide the goofy smile on his face while she lies there. He laughs with a bit of guilt laced in it- he absolutely does know and she's correctly called him out. Tartaglia shifts just so to really get comfortable with her against him, breathing out a sigh of content through his nose as he basks in this.

However, her next comment is a bit sobering in this rose-colored world, and his face falls.]

Then let's focus on that now, [he says softly,] instead of things that would otherwise spoil the mood.

[After all this time, it must be tough to still be looking for her sibling. Tartaglia would probably feel the same if he were in her shoes, so for now he'll do everything in his power to get her mind off of her troubles and let her relax. It's a saddening thought, and right now that's got no place for their happy reunion.]

So now that you've managed to tame a Harbinger, what are your plans of what you'll do with him?

[He asks playfully, trying to set them both down a path to enjoy each other's company (and probably something else as soon as his stamina is back up >:3]

[viatriix]

( Ah, he didn't know.. No one did... No one knew she long found her brother, but the results of that was soul shattering. But she would not let those thoughts linger, she was happy right now and feeling wanted and comforted. The fact that every time they met up, Childe is so easily able to put his Harbinger business to the side for the moment to interact with her. No one, not Paimon or he, knew how much that meant to her.

One day, she'd mention such a thing, but not right now. Not when she can see easily that he wanted to keep her mind off of her sorrows.

As reassurance and genuine humor, she let a light giggle at his question. The arm wrapped around his middle now crossing over his chest, chin resting on her arm. Staring down at him with a look of love she was unaware of herself showing, she lets a light hum escape her throat in feign wonder. )

Well, I don't know if I fully tamed a Harbinger yet, but I am tempted to keep him here with me as much as I can. ( Her other hand coming up to caress his cheek, fingers brushing his lips with a feather touch, whispers for his ears only. ) Make sure he leaves here knowing how much I'd fallen in love with him too.

( Her small confession in return to his back in Fontaine, with eyes full of that affectionate look, completely unfiltered now. Before covering it up with her own tease back at him: )

Take care of his insatiable hunger, as well, of course.

[monoceroscaeli]

[For the longest time, he never thought he'd ever see that love-struck face worn on her, looking at him. Tartaglia is snapshotting this moment in his mind, tracing the soft curve of her cheeks and capturing the gentle shine in her eyes so it can live in his memory for as long as he lives. His visage reflects her own, looking at her like a man who's fallen head over heels in love, content and overjoyed to have her next to him.

Her hand on his cheek, brushing against her lips is like a spell that is cast on him, keeping him drawn to her side, her words the incantation that activates the spell that weaves itself around his heart and captures his mind. She's just confessed to him too, reciprocated his love, and he suddenly feels lightheaded and his body feels magnetized towards her. It's almost like he can feel his pupils dilate, taking a deep breath in as he processes that she just said she'd fallen in love with him too. One hand gingerly reaches for her own cheek, so he can lie there and admire her before she teases him...to which he laughs, the spell broken for a moment as he looks downwards at his still hardened length.]

Well, [he whispers, the action alone almost triggering another coughing fit from his injuries, but his willpower won't let that happen. Not now.]

I wouldn't be opposed to showing how deeply we've fallen for each other. Nor would I resist being kept here for a bit longer. So if you'd like...

[Childe runs his fingers through her golden locks, pushing back and carding through her bangs affectionately, letting them fall back into place. He can't stop staring into her eyes, now that she's faced him- and now he's starting to wonder how she'll look when he's found himself deeply inside of her.]

...we can begin, if you've been able to rest enough for the time being. I'm interested in your idea of taking care of my...insatiable hunger.

[His hand snakes down to her ass, gripping into it lightly, wishing he had an angle to slip his fingers in her to get her excited for their next round of sex. His face slowly turns from hopelessly in love to show a hungry, needy look. There's no doubt that Tartaglia needs her body, craves for it, and now that he's finally been granted permission to have it he'd like to sample is as much as she'll let him.]

[viatriix]

( She can see she surprised him just as he'd done to her when he confessed, though she'd allow herself this opportunity. To feel loved by someone, having seen it in others, never really caring for it herself. Hands calloused with his passion for fighting and getting stronger, she fully rests her cheek against his hand. Smile gradually growing, she just stared down at him with glee at his laughter to her tease.

No matter where she goes from now on... this is a memory she will keep for the rest of her long life, however long it will be.

Slight surprise and happiness to hear he'd be willing to stay here with her for just a bit longer. The other Harbingers probably used to her foiling their plans in many ways, this time keeping one of them hostage with love. His hand through her hair, she could only hum and enjoy the affection.

A moan escaping at the grip to her cheek, so near yet so far. This look he was giving her now sent a desirable shiver down her spine. She moves up the rest of the way to be now face to face, chest to chest, a smile on her lips. )

Yeah? I feel like I've rested plenty now...

( She pressed a kiss to his lips, passionate and full of the love in her heart and soul. Heart pounding, now with shared feelings, making sure to deepen the kiss for as long as she can. Soft moans in between the kisses, her emotions driving her to share them as much as she can. )

[monoceroscaeli]

[Tartaglia shifts himself so she has an easier time crawling up to lie on his chest in full, feeling his breath leave him as he finds himself so close to her now. His eyes study her, wondering what plan, mischievous or not, might be dancing in her mind. Lumine being so forward with him is hotter than he could of imagined, his hands coming down to fall on her hips as she lies there. Heat builds in his core as he lies there, climbing higher and higher especially when she comes in to lock her lips with him, and his head sinks down into the pillow as his eyes close to savor every second of this kiss.

It's almost as if he can feel the flow of her strong affection through every pass of her lips, and Childe returns it in full as they kiss. When she deepens the kiss, he meets it by letting his tongue dance with hers, letting small moans of contentment and need bubble up out of his throat. Love surges through his veins in a white-hot line from his heart to his lips, kissing her back with a fervor that only she could be worthy of receiving, overjoyed and mesmerized by her and her kiss. His hands come up to play in her hair and caress her body, heat beginning to swallow them both whole from their passion and need. She doesn't even need to touch him down there to make the coil in his stomach wind tighter, his dick throbbing terribly for the chance to slide inside and make her cry out his name. Tartaglia only breaks the kiss for a moment, taking deep breaths to recover for a moment from their amorous lip lock.]

I really need you right now, [he confesses, his eyes betraying his need as he pleads for her.

Desperate, needy kisses get delivered to her neck, leaning up just so so he can claim every inch of skin that his lips can reach. Each greedy kiss is planted in a line up to her ear, where he tugs lightly at her earlobe before kissing down her jawline with the same fervor as their shared kiss.]

Please, [he begs,] let me fuck you...

[viatriix]

( Her heart pounds so loudly in her ear as she too moans in between their kisses, her cheeks burning with the passion the two shared. His tongue meeting hers brought an entire new wave of emotions to surge through her. Their hearts beating in sync, his hands all over her now, in her hair and her body sent electro to shoot through her. She loved him, nothing in this very moment mattered more than the two in this lovers' embrace. Moans soothing into his mouth to allow him to hear how much their passion and love affected her. The kiss breaking brought her to try and catch her breath, her heart pounding in her chest as she listens to his words of need. Need for her, to feel her, hearing him plead for her would have surprised her had it not sent shivers of excitement. Staring into his eyes as he says this, before they leave with his affections to her neck.

Rolling her eyes closed as she moaned under his kisses, moving her neck in the opposite direction so he had as much room as he can reach of her. He definitely got her in the mood all over again, never knowing how much his desperate begging of something so foreign to her. But if his mouth was that good, she hummed in agreement, moans escaping with his ministrations. Sitting up, now out of reach of his divine lips, she still feel them faint on her neck and ear. Pressing a searing kiss to his lips, before tucking her bottom lip between her teeth. She can feel herself clench in desire and anticipation, in response to his desperation. )

O-okay, I need you too~

( Not entirely sure what to do, but that was not going to stop her. Her uncertainty never stopped her before. Shimmying down until she hovered above his dick and she knew where it was supposed to go, but... Taking him into her hand, she takes a bit inside of her before sighing in anticipated desire. Slowly lowering herself down, she let a moan escape her lips at the feeling of being stretched.

Though she'd already revealed before of not having any personal relationships like this before. Moving her hips made it easier to lower further, but moans escaped each pump that brought him deeper. Until she was hip to hip, pupils dilated, glossed over, cheeks pink any sudden movement makes him rub certain areas in her that made her entire body electrocute to life. )

Oooh wow, I... I don't know if I can move yet... I-it, mmm, feels good though...

[monoceroscaeli]

[The way that Lumine responds to his brushes and touches send him deeper into a pit of desire that he has no hope of climbing out of. She allows him access to her skin, kissing and sucking gently until he finally begs her to move down him, and he lies there in anticipation as she agrees. The kiss she delivers to his lips is the final straw, feeling it set him on fire with the weight of the passion in it. They both were primed and ready for each other, this time he'd make sure that every single bit of her was taken care of and that she'd feel incredible by the time they were done. It doesn't matter to Childe where he is in the equation- he knows he could deliver a performance for her that'll have her moaning and crying his name whether he was on top or bottom.

He can feel his pupils dilate as she takes hold of his cock, his breath becoming more shallow as he looks on to see how his girth fits in her smaller hand. He knows he's a bit bigger than most- he's been told and there's a twitter thread I need to link you from people breaking Childe's model, he's a fucking whale in his pants too alsjfsd;fjk- but he's far more interested in how he'll fit inside of her. He waits with bated breath as she lowers herself onto him, and the first sensation of his tip sliding between her folds is like an electric jolt that lights his body up and powers it as if he'd plugged into an infinite power source.

Heat rushes through him, and with every pump as she lets his cock sink deeper and deeper into her, he can feel his body twinge and quiver as her warm walls greet him until he feels himself touch her back wall. Lumine's visage once he reaches that point is hypnotic, as if she were captured by the pure pleasure that surged through her from their connection, her moans like a sweet melody that he wants to hear more of. Childe's hands reach to grip into her hips, smiling back her her with a love-drunk expression, as if all that mattered to him was her and only her. Nothing else in this room, or this world, could break him from the spell he feels that he's fallen under. A spell Lumine has cast upon him and that he willingly succumbed to.]

It's quite alright. I can do a little work from here too, you know.

[Childe begins to roll his hips upward, pushing her up and holding her just so so his dick can slide in and out of her at a steady pace. His eyes lid heavily as the friction sends ecstasy surging through his body, moaning her name uninhibited.]

Lumine...you're so beautiful. Just hold yourself there, just like that. That's right, Lumine...

[viatriix]

( She swallows her noises, she didn't know what to expect with this feeling of fullness. It was a bit of a struggle to get him all in, her brain felt love-drunk knowing he was making her feel this way. This man that always beamed with joy the moment he notices her, made her feel important in someone's life. His love-drunk expression matching her own, sent heat rushing through her as she can feel his eyes on her as she tries to get him inside of her fully. His hair a mess from her hands, eyes that could have hearts in them if they could, a smile that has her smiling in love in return.

His hands on her hips, grip steady to help her out and his words brought her to anticipate the feelings she was going to get. If just getting him fully inside was overwhelming, imagining him moving and that previous sensation happening over and over with each pump. But she didn't have to imagine it for long. As soon as he finished his sentence, her eyes widened and her blush deepening redder with the intimacy of his actions. Wide eyes quickly looking back at him, each roll of his hips bringing a moan out of her. If it were possible her own eyes would have hearts in them too. His moans burning her ears as her eyes flutter closed. )

C-childe... ( moans ) Archon, you're going to drive me crazy...

( To feel him fill her up, stretching her every time he pumps back in, she can't help but to moan every time he does. She can feel her mouth water and eyes gloss over with ecstasy. She doesn't even know what to do with her whole body, slowly feeling herself move her hips with him. Her breath shallowing, her hands on his abdomen to steady her, before they run up to his shoulders. This had to be a trap, how she never felt this way with anyone before but can feel it with him ten-fold. It's when he hits a certain spot in her, she quickly brings her hand up to her lips as she squeaks his name into it. The moan of his name higher pitched than before. It sent waves of electro through her entire body. )

[monoceroscaeli]

[There couldn't be a sweeter sound in this world, to hear Lumine's cries of pleasure ring out within the walls of her bedroom. That love drunk stare, her eyes having to close because of the bliss he's delivering to her, it's his wildest dreams coming true. He could tell this must be her first time, with how she moved with inexperience, and it's filled him with determination to ensure she felt good and loved. Every pump upwards into her purposely angled to make sure she felt the undeniable feeling of pleasure surge within her, taking care of her the way she deserved to be after years of struggle and stress. He loves this just as much for himself, but it's more important to him to make sure this serves as an excellent way for her to let it out, enjoy herself, and finally relax a little while he drove her crazy with want.

Her body seems to know what to do, as she lowers herself down, hands finding his shoulders. Their hips meet in the middle now, giving him a new angle and he takes full advantage of it. Childe moves himself in a way to let themselves become a melody and harmony to each other, sliding in and out in perfect sync, and just as they do he hits that good spot within her. At first, he's not sure if he's hurt her, but hearing her utter his name like that makes his chest buzz and his mind swirl knowing that he's got her right where he wants her.]

That's the goal. Ohhhhh...Lumine, you're doing so, so good.

[Childe's free hand reaches over to where Lumine put his Vision, quickly snatching it up and tucking it under his back to ensure it was in his possession. He has an idea, and he hopes that it will make her feel even better.]

Lift yourself up just a hair, my love, so I can get to your clit. I want to pleasure you in more ways than one...

[He's got a little bead of water on the tip of his finger, ready and waiting. He doesn't hide it from her, it's not a secret nor a trick. Just a man who's got a full mastery over his hydro abilities, and wants to use it for sex ;)]

[viatriix]

( Lumine's eyes closed, just feeling everything he was giving her she paid no mind to what he was doing. She was just trying not to get too loud, having forgotten for a while there about Paimon in her room down the hall. But she was having a hard time keeping quiet with his size. His praise of her helped build more confidence in her movements, to know what she was doing too made him feel good as well. Her breathing deep and quick, moans strained between each breath, trying not to be too loud.

It's not until he stopped moving about doing whatever he was up to, did she open her eyes. Staring down at him in the eyes as he called her his love, the new name to add to his list of names for her. This one made her heart skip a couple beats. Moving her hands from his shoulders to his abdomen, lifting herself up the best she can.

He wanted to reach her clit with a bead of water? She was curious, but trusting... Not sure what he was planning. He was already giving her so much pleasure she could hardly keep her moans down already. Yet he had more up his sleeve? )

Oookay, I'm ready... I'm ready...

( It was already taking so much strength to keep herself upright, but she won't say she's not excited about what he had planned. Childe really was making sure she had something to remember him by until they meet again. )

[monoceroscaeli]

[He's got to hand it to Lumine- he's well aware he's a little big and she's doing a fantastic job trying to keep herself quiet enough to not wake Paimon. He wishes that he could dismantle all the hard work she's put in to keep herself from screaming his name at the top of her lungs, but at the same time Childe's very okay with keeping this, and their relationship as a whole, as their little secret. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Once Lumine is up far enough, his hand slips into the small space between their stomachs to let his finger and the bead of water press against her clit. The water seems to form fit around it, sinking deep into her folds as it forms around her pearl, the water warm and inviting. Childe begins to massage it, pressing circles against it for a few moments before removing his hand. Though, what doesn't stop is how the water mimics that movement- and continues to press and massage Lumine's clit just the same as if it were his finger. The Harbinger then looks up into her eyes and smiles, beckoning her back down so they can continue their coupling.]

There. Now, even if I can't reach it, I'll be pleasuring you for the foreseeable future. Now, relax, and give into it- you deserve to be spoiled.

[And without any fanfare, Tartaglia begins his thrusts back up into her anew, letting his throbbing length sink deep inside of her over and over again while the bead of water caresses and massages the apex of her desires over and over again, in tandem with his pumps. He lets out a content sigh as joy spills into him, happily looking upwards to see her expression and how it makes her feel, his hands supplementing it all by running the length of her body, groping her and touching those erogenous zones that he knows will make her melt and feel so, so nice.]

Tell me how it feels, Lumine. I'm dying to know.

[viatriix]

( Little big, ha! She can barely keep herself upright and quiet. Perhaps when Paimon is not within earshot, her small companion did not need to see the two in their 'lovers embrace'. Paimon must be absolutely tuckered out not waking from her previous moaning before she remembered her.

Thankfully he had paused his hips for this, because the little droplet was surprising. It made his finger slide easily in a rhythm. She can feel herself squeezing around his dick with the extra stimulation. Focused on his finger, breathy moans escaping her lips, until that pressure was gone, but the stimulation didn't stop. Well, this was a trick she was not prepared for and though it wasn't his finger, the action still sent sharp electricity up her spine. He really has mastered his element and with a wild imagination to think up something like that.

She was going to respond back, before he began to thrust up into her. This time with matching rhythm of the droplet and she couldn't hold back the initial moan that escaped. Her mind only filled with how good he was making her feel, she forgot about her own volume. Her body cresting with the new sensation. Lids heavy with arousal, can feel herself getting wetter around him. Her hand snapping to her lips, but with just one hand, she lays on his chest unable to keep herself up anymore.

Moving her hips in tune with his, hiccups of moans escaping her. He wanted her to speak while she can barely even think? How cruel of him. )

I... I, oooh, I-It feels sooo good, C-childe~ Mmmmmnn, you're r-really good at this.

( Hopefully he understood her between her open fingers and inbetween her moans. Just wanting to melt against him and never let him leave, keep him by her side forever. Moving her hips)

[monoceroscaeli]

[He'll take that initial reaction as a good thing. Childe knows he's got her now, his groans laced with a hint of amusement as she lays down on her chest. It becomes even easier to slide in and out of her, feeling her become even more wet around his cock, taking full advantage of it to ensure every thrust sunk all the way to her back wall and out again. Tartaglia helps her out by sinking his fingertips into the supple skin around her hips, pulling her up just a hint more than what she'd be able to do at this angle so his cock slides fully in and out of her. She's too cute, losing control of herself before him in this manner, and he loves seeing the look on her face as pleasure clouds her mind.

He can only imagine all she's thinking about now is how good her body feels, and he'll continue to ensure that this will be delightful for her. He only wishes he knew exactly what she was thinking. Craning his head upwards from the pillow, he begins to whisper sweet nothings into her ear, moaning unabashedly between them:]

Good...ahhh, you deserve to be pleasured to your heart's content. Lumine, oh Lumine, my shining star in the night sky, allow me to make you feel even better...

[Tartaglia moves to capture her in a kiss, needy and filled with both a carnal passion and an innocent love, feeling his own bliss building within his core as the two share this kiss. He can feel his body tiring from the effort, exhaustion beginning to set in, but the fire that's alight in his veins is like a second wind that keeps him pumping his hips against her own. Moans spill out of him endlessly through the kiss, dropping his jaw just so so he can coax her mouth open to dance with her tongue. His speed picks up, his kiss becomes more fervid and crazed, and the droplet that massages Lumine's pearl matches his greed as his whole body crests into a climax.]

Oh, Lumine...I...I...!

[With a shudder, his body finally releases his white-hot love deep inside of her, painting her walls with his thick essence. Tartaglia falters in his kiss, the cry of her name on his lips and the sheer pleasure that hits him makes his entire body quiver violently as he gasps for breath. His hips slow, his back goes completely numb, and his body tingles from the wave of bliss he drowns under. The fog that clouds his mind thickens, with Lumine being the only thing he can think of or see, and her visage could not look more stunning in the aftermath of his climax. Pleasing his gorgeous and stalwart comrade filled him with a sense of satisfaction unlike any he's ever experienced before.

So he leans up, and presses a kiss to her lips once more, appreciative and loving, before his head falls back down to the pillow.]

[viatriix]

( Allowing him to maneuver her hips anyway he wants, barely able to hold herself up on her own. Feeling cock pumping with no interruptions now, her body adjusting to his size, going all the way to her back wall every single time. Resting her head against his as she listens to his voice drive its way through her clouded head, through the loud pumps of her heart.

His moans and words sending her heart to soar, to fill her heart with a tender love that would scare her away if she didn't feel it was right. But it did, it felt right and to hear him call her his shining star in the night sky... She felt like she had her wings back and can take flight with this love.

Before she can respond, his lips had captured hers in kiss that she returned with every ounce of love in her body. Moaning into his mouth, wanting him to feel how much his words meant to her. How much his love was felt by her too. Dropping her jaw to bring her tongue to dance with his, a loud squeak of a moan in his lips at the picked up speed of not only his hips but the small droplet too. )

Childe... Tartaglia...

( Her thighs shook, body crescents against his and she clutched his shoulders. Her own climax interrupts her, she can feel him coat her insides and she can feel herself rising and falling with his chest as he caught his breath. Her body now only associating these feelings of absolute bliss and fullness with this man and this man only. Getting to see him come undone like this again, will etch itself in her memories too.

Returning the sweet kiss with her own loving tenderness, smiling down at him so sweetly and loving. Happy tears in her eyes, though it did not fall, as she pressed another sweet and calm kiss to his lips. Perhaps it was too soon, or there was a better time to say it, but it's how she felt. And for once, she wanted to voice her own feelings. Before cuddling close against him, and she whispered her words: )

I love you....

[monoceroscaeli]

[Satisfying waves roll through his body over and over as he comes down from the high of his climax, the glow of Lumine above him sweeping him underneath the waves of love and adoration he has for her. Childe returns that soft, sweet kiss, letting his lids flutter shut to savor it before opening again. He's rewarded with the closeness of her body, her warmth sinking into his skin, her scent filling his senses. But most of all, before all of that, he's rewarded with the most important words she could of ever uttered to him.

I love you...

Tartaglia's breath out is both heavy and breathless all at the same time. His arms come up to wrap themselves around her, despite his exhaustion, or maybe in spite of it- he needs her more now than ever, surprised at her confession and feeling his entire chest buzz because of it. His heart has never beat harder in his life, closing his eyes and lying there with her on top of him like he'd lose her if he ever let go. It's a moment he never thought he'd see, another first today among many.]

I love you too, Lumine. I love you so much.

[He murmurs it as he holds her, his hand coming to rest on the back of her head as he holds her against his chest. His head cranes to place a small kiss to her forehead, before falling back to the pillow, silent and appreciating.

Childe waits a few moments to let it all sink in, running his hand lovingly across the canvas of her back, painting it with a fondness and devotion, his hand the paintbrush. Her skin is so soft, he could caress her forever if he was allowed. When he does speak, it's quiet, as if it were important to break the silence gently for fear of ruining the moment.]

If you don't mind, I think I'll stay here for a while longer than planned. If anyone asks, I'll just say I got lured in and kidnapped by the traveler, hahaha.

[viatriix]

( Lumine can both see and feel his reaction to words she's never uttered to anyone romantically, feel herself rise and the embrace he gives her. Silly her for even worrying, why she thought he would push her away at her confession? He's already shown his love for her and she had that idiotic worry in the back of her mind. She could only feel her own heart flutter in her chest.

This was why the heroes in those novels fight tooth and nail for their love. To never want to lose someone that makes them feel this happy. Eyes closed in a sense of peace she's not felt truly in so long. Perhaps, tonight she would get to sleep without the nightmares. His reciprocation filled her with such happiness. Cuddling in close to his chest, letting his heartbeat ease her, his warmth enveloping her, his hand cradling her head and the other painting caresses along her back. Probably the most relaxed she's felt in so long.

His whispered words brought back reality that he'd have to leave soon, she too would have to leave for Natlan, anyway. As much as she'd like to just lay like this forever, that wasn't reality. But his words did quickly bring a smile to her lips. Looking up at him, cheek squished against chest, eyes sparkling with glee at him staying just a bit longer with her. )

I don't mind at all, stay as long as you can. Hahaha, I'm sure they're used to me foiling some part of their plans, this would probably be my most impressive foil yet.

[monoceroscaeli]

[The comfort that flows into him as he feels Lumine relax in his hold is everything. She was always on guard around him when they first met, understandably so, and it wasn't until recently where their meet ups had less tension in it. Maybe it had something to do with the few days before he'd parted Inazuma, when she'd ran into himself and Yoimiya tracking down the Great Mujina Yokai and spending time with those kids, maybe it had to do with Teucer and the realization that he wasn't always being a Harbinger every time she saw him. But whatever the reason was, it helped lead to this, and he couldn't be more grateful for it.

Tartaglia can't help but laugh at how she reacts. Those glowing eyes, amused and happy at his decision, that sight alone was worth any reprimand he'd get from Jester and then some.]

To think, the Traveler single-handedly delaying our special project because she refused to let a Harbinger go, [he teases, already forgetting the name of Project Stuzha.]

"My deepest apologies," [he begins to say as if he were speaking with the other Harbingers,] "you see, I've been a prisoner of war, locked up against my will. I was weak and unable to do much, subject to all of the Traveler's whims. There was nothing I could do other than focus on recovering until I could escape." Does that sound like a good excuse?

[He asks with a laugh, knowing full well that no one's buying that story. It's no secret that he'd taken a liking to Lumine, and no Harbinger will believe that he was kidnapped. He definitely stayed of his own volition.]

It'll put you in the books for one of the greatest blows dealt to the Fatui. Not even that Mondstadter came close to ruining our plans, hahaha.

[viatriix]

( It's funny what witnessing a true human with no ill-intentions with children. That the Tsaritsa's war trained weapon had a soft spot for keeping children from the true darkness of the world, let them live in their light. His brother, Yoimiya's innocence, and those kids that spend time with her...

A silly smile appearing on her face, a light laugh in return as she just laid there listening to his voice. The buzz of his chest as he talked, her smile growing with his teases. A soft laugh at his 'apology' to the other Harbingers. )

That sounds very convincing. I think you may even fool your Archon with that apology if you sell it good enough.

( This is also where she can see Paimon piping up and teasing him about him not hiding his interests in Lumine. At the mention of Diluc's attempts of ruining the Fatui, she can only laugh in return. )

I think he'd be quite proud of me, actually. It's not everyday anyone can handle kidnapping a Harbinger. Especially a combat-hungry one at that, hehehe.

( Though she can see him being heavily disappointed in her falling for said Harbinger. )
