Work Text:
Exams were upcoming in a few days and Zhongli had to crunch in as many study sessions as he could next to his classes. He felt the weight of his stress fall heavier on his shoulders the closer it got to the exam date. He sat at his desk and squinted his eyes at his notebook in front of him as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
“You should take a break, Zhongli.” Childe was lying on his side, his arm draped off the side of Zhongli’s bed. He was staying over at his dorm to accompany him as he studied, not having studied at all himself. He’d been over all afternoon and got bored fast; everything he read had gone right over his head. Zhongli had given up trying to keep Childe’s attention and let him stay over for company. He glared more at his notes before responding.
“And you should be studying, Childe.”
“I did study.”
“You did not,” Zhongli responded firmly yet calmly, his eyes not averting from his paper.
“Guilty as charged~” The room was quiet for a bit before Childe dramatically stretched his arms above his head.
“When are you going to be done? I’m bored…” Zhongli didn’t respond. Childe sat up and moved over to Zhongli and stood over him. He rested his chin on his shoulder and draped his arms around his neck.
“What have you been studying all this time, Xiansheng…”
“Accounting,” Zhongli replied, moving his pencil back and forth between his fingers. Childe scanned over his paper and read the first underlined section. Financial frictions refer to the rigidity of an economic variable that occurs when conducting transactions. He was already lost.
“You’ve been studying ever since you got off school, Zhongli… Take a break.” He nuzzled closer and frowned into his neck. He truly felt concerned for Zhongli. He hadn’t taken a single break since they had started around 1:30 pm. It was now 7:23. Childe had been wanting to cuddle with Zhongli after he had finished studying; he was feeling needy. He let his hands wander down Zhongli’s frame. Zhongli finally looked up from his notes and checked the clock. He stared at it for a good moment before sighing.
“Very well, Childe…” The ginger smiled triumphantly and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek.
“Thank you, Xiansheng…” He leaned forward and let his hand rest on Zhongli’s thigh and rubbed it gently before pulling away. He picked up the smaller man carefully out of his seat and placed him gently on the bed. Zhongli untied his hair, which was up in a tight bun to stay out of his way as he studied, and let it fall free. Childe sat down next to him and took his hands in his own.
“It’s been lonely the past few hours, Xiansheng…” He rubbed his thumbs on the backs of Zhongli’s hands and leaned his face close to his, a sly smirk pulling on his lips. Zhongli stared into his eyes, his cheeks hot as he felt Childe’s breath brush over his lips at the last syllable of ‘Xiansheng’.
“Indeed,” Zhongli replied steadily, despite his body heating up at Childe’s suggestive gestures.
“I missed you…” Childe trailed one of his hands up Zhongli’s arm, slowly feeling him up on top of his clothes. He squeezed Zhongli’s hand in his other gently before pulling it away and pulling Zhongli on his lap, his back facing his chest. He moved both his hands to Zhongli’s shoulders and rubbed them gently, massaging him. He heard Zhongli let out a soft sigh of relaxation. “You feel tense… You must be stressed, you need a break.”
“I am taking one with you now, Childe,” Zhongli responded, letting out a heavy sigh and leaning his head back onto Childe’s shoulder as he massaged him. Childe chuckled and pressed a long kiss to Zhongli’s cheek. After a short while of massaging, Childe leaned his lips close to Zhongli’s ear.
“Can we do it, Xiansheng…? I want you…” He whispered lustfully, his lips brushing against his ear. Zhongli shifted on Childe’s lap before turning his face to his.
“I want you too, Ajax…” Childe felt his ears turn pink at his response and immediately crashed their lips together while sticking one of his hands up Zhongli’s shirt. His other hand was occupied with rubbing Zhongli’s inner thigh once again, this time closer to his crotch. He could feel the heat radiating from it already. He felt Zhongli’s bare skin underneath his shirt as his hand gently trailed up to his chest. It was unreasonably soft. He sought out one of his nipples and tenderly ran his fingers over it. He pulled away from Zhongli’s lips to catch his reaction to him pinching it between his fingers.
Zhongli’s face flushed over with a shade of pink as he looked down towards his chest, biting the inside of his lip gently. God, he loved his facial expressions when they had sex. They had barely gotten started, but they were so bashful and lewd. He relished them. He had felt Zhongli’s nipple harden under his touch and smirked, letting his other hand palm his crotch softly. Zhongli’s breathing hitched and got heavier as Childe touched him.
“You’re so cute, Xiansheng… So cute for me…” Childe rolled his fingers back and forth once more before pulling on his nipple, getting a small whine from Zhongli in response. His smirk widened and he lowered his hand to the hem of Zhongli’s shirt, pulling it over his head. He tossed it to the side and rubbed Zhongli’s arms up and down. He had such pretty tattoos. They trailed up his arms in black, intricate patterns. They made his body even more attractive.
He pulled Zhongli’s chin gently towards him. Childe kissed him a bit rougher than before, pressing his tongue against his lips. Zhongli parted his lips in response, letting Childe slip his tongue in his mouth. He felt the brunette start to harden under his hand. As he explored his mouth with his tongue, he started to undo Zhongli’s pants. He felt himself start to harden as well at the feeling of Zhongli’s ass shifting against his crotch. Childe hurried up taking off Zhongli’s pants and quickly pulled away to take off his own clothes, eager to start touching Zhongli more.
“Lay down on your stomach for me, Zhongli…” Zhongli did as he was told and slowly moved from Childe’s lap onto the bed. He loved it when Zhongli would obey him. He watched as Zhongli lowered himself, laying his head on his arms and looking off back at Childe expectantly. Childe felt his cheeks burn at the sight but delightedly shifted behind Zhongli. He had such a lovely figure. He brought his hands back to his shoulders and pressed his fingers in a circular motion, massaging him one last time quickly before slowly sliding his hands over his body. He leaned forward and whispered huskily into Zhongli’s ear.
“Your body is so sexy… I'll make you feel good, you've been working so hard…” Childe gently kissed Zhongli’s neck before pulling back and observing his body some more. He lifted Zhongli’s ass by his hips so Zhongli was on his knees, his back dipped in a beautiful curve. He squeezed his cheeks gently before pulling his boxers down just before his knees. He felt himself get even more turned on by Zhongli's round ass in the air in front of him, entirely submissive to him. Childe groped him hungrily, his cock hardened now. He enjoyed himself a bit longer before sneaking in a quick slap on his ass, causing Zhongli to let out a surprised whine as he flinched. Childe could see Zhongli’s ears redden.
“Sorry, I couldn't help myself,” Childe teased.
Zhongli responded after a moment, “...Do it again…”
“What was that?”
Zhongli huffed, knowing damn well Childe heard him loud and clear. “Spank me again…” Childe laughed, enjoying himself, and spoke in a taunting tone.
“Oh, you like it when I slap your ass, huh~?” Childe proceeded to strike his ass, a bit rougher than before. Zhongli flinched beneath him. “Who knew my Zhongli was such a little slut...” He spanked his ass again, then rubbed him gently as to compensate for the sting. Childe then flipped Zhongli over carefully, slipping his boxers off entirely. He saw how Zhongli's cock was already hard. “You really did like that, hm…?”
Childe met Zhongli’s lustful gaze and leaned on top of him, lowering himself to kiss Zhongli. He sucked tenderly on his bottom lip, nibbling a little before trailing down to mark his neck. He felt Zhongli's arms wrap around his body.
“You're mine, Zhongli… My little slut.” Childe sucked on his neck gently, receiving a small whine from Zhongli in response. He continued to leave a few more marks and love bites, trailing down to his chest. Now that he had marked what was his, he pulled away to admire the hot mess beneath him.
“Ajax… I need you… Now…” Zhongli whined almost inaudibly, staring up at Childe with needy eyes. He rubbed his biceps impatiently. The ginger brought his hand to Zhongli’s jaw and caressed up and down to his chin gently, staring lovingly down at his boyfriend. He felt his heartstrings pull a little.
“You look so cute like this, Zhongli…” He leaned forward to kiss him lightly, their lips barely touching. He pulled on his bottom lip partly before pulling back to smile down at Zhongli, who had started tugging at his hair.
“Please, Ajax…”
“Please what?” Zhongli glared up at him but knew he’d have to satisfy Childe to get what he wanted.
“Please put it in me…” That got a snort out of Childe.
“Come on, Xiansheng… Just tell me you want me to fuck you...” Childe stroked the brunette’s hair before letting his hand fall to Zhongli’s cock. He teasingly drew circles on his tip as Zhongli shifted beneath him, letting out little whines.
“Please fuck me, Ajax… He stuttered over his words and turned his head to the side, embarrassed. Childe lowered his hand and stroked him a few times as a reward and to show that he was pleased.
“Good boy~” He earned a few muffled moans from the smaller man beneath him. He enjoyed making a mess out of Zhongli. He got his fair share of times to top him– whereas other times he’d get absolutely destroyed by his boyfriend– but he liked to take advantage of every time he could. He liked the feeling he got of being in charge and being able to tease Zhongli, but Childe also liked to feel as if he was the star of the show as he unfolded into a moaning mess for him. Zhongli always showed him a side of him that he never showed to anyone else in the bedroom, as did he himself. He loved it.
Childe sucked on the tender skin between his boyfriend’s dick and his inner thigh, getting a few more whines out before he reached over to the desk side drawer and picked out a bottle of lube. As much as he’d love to ask Zhongli to suck him off, he didn’t desire to keep his boyfriend waiting any longer, especially when he was already underneath him with his shaft dripping with precum. Besides, he’d already gotten him to beg so easily.
He squirted the lube onto his palm, covering his dick with it after putting the bottle back into the drawer.
“You’re so pretty underneath me, Xiansheng… We need to do this more often, hm…?” He cooed at Zhongli, watching him shift impatiently below him.
“Please hurry, Ajax… I want you so bad…”
Childe shushed him. “I know you do… Don’t worry.” He leaned over Zhongli and carefully pinned his wrists above his head. He leaned close to his lips and spoke. “I want you too.” He connected their lips before Zhongli had the chance to respond. He stroked his cheek gently before pulling back and lining himself up with Zhongli. He kept an eye on the brunette’s facial expression, watching it twist in both pain and pleasure as he inserted himself inside of him gradually. He bit back groans as he felt Zhongli’s insides contract around his cock.
“You’re so pretty, Xiansheng… Look at you…” He began to rock his hips back and forth, basking in every whine and moan that left Zhongli’s lips. Zhongli’s nails dug into his palms as he breathed heavily, moans escaping him at every one of Childe’s thrusts. His face was hot along with the rest of his body. He stared up at Childe, his lustful, ocean-like eyes meeting his.
“You always fall apart so fast for me...” Childe’s thrusts sped up somewhat, ramming quickly into Zhongli. The smaller man briefly arched his back and turned his head to the side, never breaking eye contact. Childe bit his lip and groaned at how tight Zhongli’s hole was. The only sound they could hear was the sound of wet lube, skin slapping, the bed creaking, Childe’s groaning, and Zhongli’s melodious moans, wordlessly begging for more.
“A...Ajax… Fuck–” Zhongli was cut off by a sharp moan as Childe snapped his hips toward him, hitting at just the right angle. Zhongli arched his back fully and writhed beneath the ginger. Childe couldn't fight the urge anymore and leaned forward to connect his mouth with Zhongli's. He drank up every moan that spilled from him like fine wine. He entwined his tongue with his as the only sound he could hear was the mixture of Zhongli's moaning and his own, blending like a symphony. All he could taste was Zhongli. He tasted of Violetgrass and smelled of Silk Flowers and coconut; it was intoxicating. He wanted more.
He drew back from Zhongli as he sped up his pace, ramming into the bundle of nerves that made Zhongli completely lose his composure. He admired the mess of the man beneath him– who usually kept a straight face– convulse in pleasure, all while letting sweet cries pour from his mouth. Childe noted how the tears that poked at the corners of Zhongli’s eyes started to stream beautifully down his face. Oh, how gorgeous Zhongli looked right now, and it was a sight all for Childe himself, for he was the only one who could make his Zhongli act so out of character. He wished he could capture this view of Zhongli and present it in a prestigious art gallery where it belonged, but alas he'd have to keep it stored in his memory.
“Ajax... I’m close…” Zhongli’s mewls of pleasure interrupted his string of thoughts and brought him back to the situation at hand.
Childe groaned in response, “Me too, Zhongli... Fuck…”
Childe thrust his hips a couple more times into Zhongli, then quickly pulled out as he felt himself reach his climax in sync with Zhongli, both of them concurrently moaning the other’s name. He bit his lip harder to suppress a whine, his pride overtaking him even in the moment. He gazed down at his spent boyfriend, both of them panting as they came down from their highs. Zhongli was so breath-taking, his body glistening as it was slicked with sweat and seed.
Childe brought his hand to Zhongli’s cheek and caressed him gently, smiling down fondly at his boyfriend. He adored how he always fell apart after one round. He adored how pretty his facial expressions were. He adored how sexy he looked with his tattooed arms pinned above his head as he shifted beneath him. He adored how euphonious his voice was, several pitches higher than normal. He never knew his voice could reach those heights, as he wailed and called his name. His name. Nevertheless, he adored Zhongli the most over all of his individual qualities. All of the qualities that made Zhongli, Zhongli. He noticed him tug at his arms as his brilliant golden eyes stared up at him tiredly. He released his grip on his wrists, moving his hand to Zhongli’s hair. The brunette brought his hands up to Childe’s face slowly and brushed strands of hair out of his eyes. He then cupped his cheeks gently in his palms.
“I love you, Ajax…” He blinked up at him.
“I love you too, Zhongli…” Childe gazed down at Zhongli, his heart aching at how cute he was as they both caressed the other’s face. He softly pet Zhongli’s hair before pushing his bangs out of his face entirely. “You’re beautiful,” he murmured.
He leaned down to kiss his forehead, then pulled away to get a cloth to clean them up. One look at Zhongli and he could tell he was spent. Sleeping early wouldn’t hurt, he was worn out too, and he’d never pass up an opportunity to sleep with his boyfriend after sex.
After he had finished cleaning up, he picked up their boxers and eased Zhongli’s back on after putting on his own, knowing he would deem it indecent to sleep together completely naked. His favorite part of having sex with Zhongli– at least when he topped– after getting to adore his grace was probably getting to take care of him afterward. He enjoyed letting Zhongli relax and begin to fall asleep as he tidied up the mess they made together.
Childe set the fan to low and turned off the bedside light. He slid into bed next to Zhongli, spooning him and pressing his face in between the crook of his neck. Carefully, he peered over to see the smaller man already half asleep. Childe wrapped his arm around his side and entwined their fingers together, held up against Zhongli’s chest, and watched as Zhongli’s eyelashes fluttered.
“I adore you…” Childe whispered gently into his neck, planting a gentle kiss.
“...Love you… Too…” Zhongli’s tired voice, hoarse from singing Childe such a beautiful song just for him during their earlier activities, spoke back to him.
“I’ll see you in the morning, Xiangsheng…~” It was safe to say Zhongli had forgotten about studying for the night. Childe smiled honestly and let himself drift to sleep, his nose filled with the scent of Silk Flowers and coconut, his mind set on Zhongli and Zhongli alone.
