[homicidalrage]

It's a recent realization.

[childeishly]

How, ah, c- cute... though I think we both kind of knew that this sort of thing was probably going to be inevitable, yeah?

[homicidalrage]

... No I actually didn't factor it in at all.

[childeishly]

...oh. [ clears. his. throat. ]

[ 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... ]

[homicidalrage]

I take it that you did?

[childeishly]

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...

[homicidalrage]

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.

...

Does it bother you?

[childeishly]

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. ]

[homicidalrage]

I did plan on getting over it without ever telling you actually. Logically speaking it's not going to go anywhere, so ...

[ he knows feelings don't work that way don't tell him ]

So I can count on you not to change your behavior.

[childeishly]

I don’t plan on changing anything! a crush is just acknowledging the feelings that are already there, [ so clearly his own crush doesn’t count since he’s not labeling it. ] but can I count on you not to completely fall head over heels for me? I know I’m irresistible. [ just being an ass now. ]

[homicidalrage]

Well you are being very charming. I'll do my best.

[childeishly]

[ …he expect him to joke back at him, but this is worse!!! don’t be serious, five!!! ]

[ childe’s face goes red and he huffs, trying to keep up the act. ] You better. [ /// ]

[homicidalrage]

[ He knew it would be a critical hit and it shows with the shiteating smirk he's giving him. That's his revenge ]

Right.

[ A pause and then he leans in, taking his chin in hand and tipping it up as he kisses him ]

Thank you for today. But you really should have let me take care of you instead.

[childeishly]

[ the kiss only makes him blush harder!!! ] …we’ll it’s not like you can’t do it now. I *am* exhausted, but I had wanted to make sure you came down from your own frenzied high. This was all about you, remember?

[homicidalrage]

Mm. But even then you probably needed more attention. That said. It was exciting, fighting you.

[ and he's going to take the chance to grab on his hand and try to tug him down, so he can lay next to him ]

But now you need to rest.

[childeishly]

[ goes easily and slips his other arm around five. ] Rest with me. [ presses his face into five’s chest. ] I liked fighting you too, sensei. It was exhilarating. I’ll have to show you the other room I have sometime. We can fight in there.

[homicidalrage]

[ he'll wrap his arms around him as well, keeping him close, and taking the chance to kiss the top of his head for a moment ]

Next time, then.

[childeishly]

[ he’s glad five can’t see his face because he’s blushing!!! ] …yeah, next time, sure.
