As someone who wasn’t at all used to human touch, the only thing over the past decade that had come even close to it, had been the caress of a cold hand over his cheek when the Tsaritsa praised him for a job well done.
So having all these… strange touches from Zhongli, a hand on Childe’s lower back, fingers tugging at his elbow, correcting his unsteady grip on his chopsticks… It was unnerving.
The touches were infuriating as much as they were confusing the Harbinger. There was this weird tingle, a shiver that went down his whole body and before he knew it, Childe was already leaning into Zhongli’s touches.
And the former Archon seemed all too happy with Childe’s reaction, a small smile finding its way on his lips every time the Harbinger trembled the slightest bit and gasps escaped his mouth.
Of course Childe wasn’t stupid, he was well aware of his own attraction towards the consultant and so he simply swallowed as he allowed Zhongli to lean in closer, grip his hands tighter and press his own chest to Childe’s back while pointing out valuable objects on their stroll through Liyue Harbor.
He could barely concentrate on Zhongli’s words with the way his hot breath fanned over the naked skin of Childe’s neck.
But he endured.
That is until they found themselves in Zhongli’s apartment one evening, enjoying a meal together - Childe had prepared it and if it was so he could show off another one of his skills, Zhongli wouldn’t need to know - and sitting close to one another on the older man’s couch.
At that point, Childe no longer minded the closeness between them but with his sleeves up, his entire forearms exposed, it was so much harder to fight down his weird reactions whenever Zhongli’s gloved hands would brush over his skin.
He felt on edge, like with one wrong move, he would simply crumble.
The thoughts made him slip in his grip, chopsticks clinking together and catching Zhongli’s attention immediately. The former Archon chuckled lightly which caused Childe’s ears to redden in response.
“To think that you still cannot use these utensils correctly…”
The words brought more color to Childe’s face and he got ready to defend himself, when Zhongli added, with a small smile: “It is endearing.”
That shut the Harbinger up. Instead he watched closely as the older man came closer and closed his hand around Childe’s trembling fingers, chest pressing against Childe’s back and thighs pushing together.
He couldn’t bring himself to really listen to Zhongli’s instructions with all his senses zeroing in on the hot touch against his body.
After a while Zhongli grew quiet and then the grip on Childe’s hands tightened.
“The reactions you show to each of my touches.” Childe’s eyes widened, his body tensed. “It’s beautiful to watch you tremble from such simple things.”
And before Childe could even try and react, Zhongli was already on him, one hand coming around to slip under the Harbinger’s uniform and stroke lightly over his waist and the other brushing from Childe’s fingers up to his forearm and elbow.
Childe closed his eyes tightly in response, a whimper caught in his throat as goosebumps overcame his body. He could feel the muscles in his abdomen flex involuntarily and his fingers clenched at each new touch. At that point, Zhongli had taken his open responses as a clear invitation to open Childe’s uniform and slowly strip it off his body.
As soon as his nipples hit the cold air, Zhongli’s eager and diligent hands were already on them and a loud, sudden moan wretched itself out of Childe’s mouth. His own eyes widened and a furious blush overtook his face, but Zhongli only rumbled in response, pressing closer to the younger man practically tugging him between Zhongli’s open legs.
Childe felt both hot and cold, his body was so incredibly tense and there was a weird tingle in his gut. When he looked down he saw his pants tented, a wet patch forming on top.
‘Weird’, was all he could think, having never seen his body respond to something in that way.
Zhongli’s gloved fingers rubbed lightly over his pink nipples and in time, moans slipped from Childe. Even if he tried, he simply couldn’t stop them.
The upper part of his uniform fell to the ground and then Zhongli’s gloves followed. There was a deep growl against his ear when the former Archon’s naked fingers finally touched Childe’s body directly.
They stroked over his abdomen and sides and pressed against his hip bones and Childe could do nothing to stop those damned shivers, could only moan and whimper as Zhongli merely touched him.
Lips pressed against his red ear and Zhongli’s dark voice was all the Harbinger needed to buck his hips up into the air in the search of some kind of friction.
“Truly beautiful.”
These simple words only fueled the weird tightness of Childe’s heart and his hips shifted completely on his own. Zhongli’s touches were so feather-light, they shouldn’t feel this intense but still, Childe’s body reacted strongly, squirming and flinching and shivering as if his very soul was being caressed.
His dick felt weird, everything was aching and he really needed something to quell this insatiable hunger that settled deep in his gut. Soon, Childe found himself begging - for what he didn’t know but it seemed to please Zhongli nonetheless.
“Don’t worry my dear, I will take care of you if you let me.” And Childe nodded, hoping that it would be enough to encourage the consultant to keep going, to give him more .
It didn’t take long for Zhongli to take off his own clothes - still seated behind Childe - and to tug off Childe’s pants. The Harbinger sighed when his cock finally sprang free, cold air hitting his arousal and making him hiss.
Hands placed themselves on Childe’s hips before pulling him back and up until he was firmly seated on Zhongli’s lap. More color flooded his face as he registered their embarrassing position but it soon left his mind altogether when Zhongli’s own, hot cock slid between Childe’s ass cheeks, dripping arousal and smearing precum all over the Harbinger’s ass.
The few times when the cockhead pushed against Childe’s dry rim, both of them groaned in unison, clearly enjoying the pleasure it brought.
Childe’s own dick was dripping precum and twitching in want but he couldn’t even think about touching himself, not when Zhongli’s fingers pinched his sides softly, pressed over his muscles and went up to pinch and pull at his hardened nipples.
Childe groaned and threw his head back and Zhongli took the chance to bite over his ear. He left behind wet kisses until his teeth buried themselves in the soft skin on Childe’s neck, tearing a moan from the Harbinger’s lips.
“P-please, Zhongli!”
In the back of his mind, Childe registered elemental power being used but he didn’t care much when those delicious vibrations were sent through his nipples and skin, his cock twitching madly in response.
Then, Zhongli put one arm around Childe’s waist, pulled him back while rutting forward, his dick sliding between supple cheeks and over that clenching rim. More praises fell from his lips and flooded the younger man’s head and with one last tug on one of Childe’s nipples, the man came with a small scream.
Childe’s whole body convulsed and trembled, his dick strained against his abdomen and painted it white with cum all while Zhongli held him close to his own body, rutting forward and helping the Harbinger through his orgasm.
His whole body felt both tense and so incredible and when Childe was just about to come down from his intense climax, a strong hand wrapped around his half-hard dick and started stroking it back to complete hardness immediately.
Childe’s eyes widened and a scream caused by the intense overstimulation ripped out of him. His hands scrambled to find any kind of purchase to hold on to, but he only flailed in Zhongli’s grasp, whining and bucking up, searching pleasure as much as he was trying to scramble away from it.
“You can do it, can’t you? One more, for me.”
And how could Childe not give in to that wonderful voice? So he succumbed willingly, thrusted back with Zhongli’s hard arousal rubbing over his backside and his loud moans filling the space around them.
It didn’t take long for him to cum again, but this time Zhongli followed him over the edge. Teeth pierced the skin on his neck and hot cum spurted over his ass and lower back while Childe himself screamed out his second orgasm, weak ropes of cum covering Zhongli’s hand that was still wrapped around him.
Childe sagged in Zhongli’s grip, falling back and breathing heavily. There were still stars behind his eyelids and his heart was beating harshly against his ribcage.
Only incoherent half-sentences fell from his lips and Zhongli chuckled as he kissed over the wound he had inflicted upon Childe.
Before Childe could fully process what was happening, he found himself with his back on the couch, facing Zhongli as the former Archon leaned over him.
“Such strong reactions even though I was barely touching you.”
Zhongli’s eyes seemed to be glowing as he spoke those words, raking over Childe’s entire body and briefly lingering at his cum-covered hole.
Then he reached out a hand to lightly stroke over Childe’s abdomen. He looked especially delighted when Childe’s body reacted in the form of squirming and twitching, dick letting out a few more drops of cum.
“I wonder how far we could take this, my dear?” Childe shivered at those words and he bit his lips to keep in the last of his embarrassing noises. The burning shame caused by his weird reactions was already catching up to him and soon Childe felt the strange sensation of wetness in his eyes as he was forced to endure Zhongli’s heavy stare.
“D-don’t look at me like that!”
Childe choked up at hearing his own voice break . High-pitched and trembling and so unlike the battle-hardened warrior he should be.
“I can’t help it, dear. You look mesmerizing like this.” Zhongli spoke calmly and his thumbs eagerly rubbed over the Harbinger’s abused and swollen nipples.
In the corner of his eyes he caught Childe’s dick twitch at the sensation.
“Won’t you indulge me for a little longer, my darling boy?”
And Childe’s body and mind were too weak to say no to something like that, especially with the hunger burning in Zhongli’s eyes.
“Only this once, Zhongli-xiansheng ”
