I do not need you to proclaim it to the world. I do not---
Ah.
[ He was going about this all the wrong way ]
I believe I told you this before - that Tsukiakari told me you were concerned about the future should we be separated. That you were concerned with your future with him. I wish I had known about all of that sooner - even before I was transferred, so that I could have been there to support you.
You smile and put on such a brave face, even when such things must be slowly eating you from the inside. How do I let you know that the words I mean are genuine? How do I allow you to feel these feelings which you have every right to feel instead of trying to soothe me with reassurances?
I love you, too, Ajax. And that includes all parts of you. Your loves, your fears, your insecurities, your strengths. All of it.
[ childe's ears droop. ] I hadn't meant for that to sound disingenuous. [ he reaches for zhongli's cheek, cupping it and smoothing a thumb over it as he gives him another tiny little smile. ] I want to conquer the world, remember, and what better climax to all of that then to tell it how much I love you... although, I suppose as long as you know, then there's no need for it. [ but still, he likes being extra. ]
But I'm sorry I didn't bring any of this up sooner. It's not like I think about it regularly. I did when you had been transferred, because I wasn't sure how I would be able to find you again, and now because of the downsizing I just don't know what could be happening...
[ he brings his other hand to zhongli's face and leans in so that their foreheads are touching. ] I know you do. I never doubted that for a second.
...of course I trust you, Zhongli Xiansheng. [ he hums in response, lips subtly quirking as he pulls back, but only to drop a kiss onto his forehead. ] Alright. [ he brings a hand to the back of his head, threading his fingers through his hair as he tries to angle his head back, so they can share a real kiss. ]

Re: Day 531
Your trust in this matter is all that I could ever ask for.
So allow me to trust in you as well.
