[ He's lucky he really is out for good or he'd be extra clingy during the entire process. But he ends up just resting, and in the end he only wakes up a while later, once he's already working on bandaging himself up. ]
... Wait, let me.
[ And he'll get up to reach for the bandages, so he can take care of at least that ]
[ childe doesnāt put up a fight, and instead offers the bandage roll to five to let him help. he hadnāt been doing a great job anyway. ] Iām alright, yeah, just a few bruises here and there. How are you feeling⦠got it somewhat out of your system?
[ There's a pause as he thinks about it, and then he just resumes working on bandaging him up without answering immediately. Once he's done, he finally leans in to kiss his cheek and answers ]
In a way. I still feel the urge to kill, I don't think that's ever going to go away. But it doesn't feel as pressing. And it does feel relieving, knowing you can tame me.
[ he reaches back, trying to drape his arm around fiveās neck to hold him there for a bit longer. ] I didnāt think itād completely go away, but Iām glad it helped. I told you, sensei, you could trust me.
[ WHY. Is he so cute. He doesn't know if it's the shared intimacy, what they just did together, and the fact he always feels too affectionate after sex. But before he realizes he ends up blurting out— ]
[ childe kind of figured things might take a turn like this... probably because this was unusual behavior to begin with. he doesn't sleep around, and really only bothers making deep connections with people he likes, so... ]
I kind of... assumed it could. We fuck, sure, but more than that we... share things with each other, and that takes a lot of trust. It's kind of hard to keep somebody like that at arm's length. And it's not like we can control feelings... those things just kind of develop and build off of preexisting ones and we both already knew we enjoyed each other's company and, ah, ...all... that...
I suppose you're right. Other than Alexander the only people I share a bond this intense with are Vergil and Cosmo and Vergil I don't sleep with, so it's never been an issue.
No. I don't see how it's much of a problem... You still love Alexander and I still love Zhongli Xiansheng. We both know these things, and while you might have a crush that doesn't necessarily mean it'll continue to develop... [ maybe, probably, ...HM. ]
I donāt plan on changing anything! a crush is just acknowledging the feelings that are already there, [ so clearly his own crush doesnāt count since heās not labeling it. ] but can I count on you not to completely fall head over heels for me? I know Iām irresistible. [ just being an ass now. ]
