He knew Zhongli would know he was right on schedule and on his way as soon as the boat entered the Liyue riverways, Childe had learned and been reminded on multiple occasions that nothing escaped the Lord of Geo when a certain someone came into his domain. But this time it was no surprise that he was en route for the biggest annual event for Liyue, the pair had been planning Childe taking some vacation time to spend it with his lover for far too long for it to slip either of their minds.

The closer they got the more anticipation of being right in front of Zhongli was making the Harbinger antsy, memories were all well and good for the weeks and months apart, and Zhongli's ability to visit Childe's dreams also helped somewhat dispel the longing, but nothing compared to holding the former Archon in his arms and hearing his voice in person. Childe knew there would be no letting go of Zhongli for the entire rest of the day once he stepped off the boat and had even a single hand on Zhongli.

The decorations for Lantern Rite were easy to spot as soon as the harbor itself was visible, the familiar lanterns hanging in the air by the dozens and the massive tree amidst the boats was clearly the symbol for this years celebration, Childe didn't doubt Zhongli would be able to tell him all about it when he asked.

But nothing beat the best view of all for Childe to spot on the docks, a familiar spot of brown in the distance that was the man who had so thoroughly captured his heart over a year and a half ago. He couldn't see the smile on Zhongli's lips until the boat had all but stopped at the dock and he could see Zhongli's handsome features up close, but for Zhongli there was no mistaking the eagerness in Childe's eyes and smile as he hopped off the boat before it was tied off so he could step right into Zhongli's space and wrap arms around his shoulder.

"I'm here." @inanthesis no this is not extremely overdue but have a gay rascal here for LR

@inanthesis + awkwaaaaaarddddd

master diluc had been subject to a number of uncomfortable conversations in his life, both personal and regarding his business, but nothing had prepared him for his lover's sudden departure from a meeting with his past flame. initially, the man had left a good impression— every bit as pleasant to speak with as was his understanding from zhongli's immaculate recollection. however, being left alone with the chief justice when once their table included the buffer between past and present was a different story altogether. it wasn't as if he had no conversational skills to speak of, but it seemed that whenever he attempted to strike up a conversation, it died before getting anywhere substantial, and the tension in his shoulders reflected exactly how heavily diluc wished for zhongli to return.

' forgive me, i'm not really all that good at small talk.. '

What flower are you?

Bleeding Heart

Romantic with a flair for the dramatic, you prefer a life in the shade. Content to grow beneath the shadows of others success, you find your joys in the small things: a broken heart, a drop of blood, a little poison in your cup. You know there’s always some bitter with the sweet, some sadness with joy, and you revel in it.

Lily

The favourite of many. You might sometimes feel like you’re being pulled in all directions, so many people want a piece of you. Sometimes it might feel like having so many people claim to love you, means having no one really get you, but worry not. You are a source of warmth and happiness to those around you. Those close to you appreciate your love, your naivety, and your brilliance.

Flax

You  are  so  helpful  to  the  people  you  know,  always  finding  a  different  way  to  lend  a  hand  and  to  be  of  use.  You’ve  a  talent  for  weaving  stories,  for  pricking  people’s  interest,  and  for  holding  on  to  it.  Ancient  and  enduring,  you’ve  been  with  us  for  centuries,  and  though  through  time  you  may  find  people’s  interest  in  you  wanes,  they’ll  always  find  their  way  back  to  you  in  the  end.

Tulip

People have always felt free to speculate about you, but it’s never changed who you are. You’ve got your faith, your love, your pretty face: so, hold your crowned head high. The world may know your name, but they hardly know your heart. Your truth is yours and that’s enough for you.

“Ugh- c’mon please Neuvilette! Don’t be such a buzzkill” she whines pouting at him. Looking him in the eyes she makes a disappointed face. Whatever happened to having fun?

“Rex lapis used to, and he’s a big bad old dragon like you are” she huffs in response.

“Well since you asked!” She grins forgetting about his last comment as she sits up. Sitting fully on his desk she faces him now that his attention is on her.

“Let’s go somewhere! Maybe we can go swimming or we can visit another region?! It’s been so long since I got to visit mondstadt!”

[hcttrick]

@primowishes indeed, it could be the Institute! Never thought of that! I thought it could be the prison as it stated part of it be underwater, kinda reminds me of the iceberg meme, fine on the surface but menacing below!

@viisiond @inanthesis yes, it could be another structure but somehow, if it has the prison part underwater like Bioshock, we be all losing our minds! ❤

If there was one thing he noticed even before he was in the outskirts of the city, it was how visibly decorated the whole of it was. Though it was still daylight the decorations that were not there during his last visit were plain as day to see. Dozens of racks with hanging lanterns, lanterns replacing the normal street lights, a massive lantern hanging above what looked like a stage area, banners of varying colors and what looked like varying designs were hung from buildings on the top level going all the way down to the structures by the docks. It was clear the city was on the verge of a very large celebration, and Childe was excited to see it all together tomorrow for the first night of the festival. But tonight was a night just for him and his lover, whether or not they ventured far outside Zhongli's home remained to be seen.

Walking through the streets with his two bags in tow, Childe's eyes went back and forth when he saw things that he knew were specific to this years Lantern Rite, but his focus was largely on simply getting to his destination. Anticipation had been enough to drive the Harbinger mad from restlessness but at least that would be alleviated very shortly.

Like when he was there for Zhongli's birthday, Childe was going to go to the consultants home first to see if he was there. Zhongli knowing he was looking to arrive today had him hopeful this would be where he was again. Two knocks was all he did to announce his arrival, even if Zhongli no doubt knew he was there long before there was any knocking. Sliding the door open and closing it behind him, both bags got unceremoniously dropped to the floor to be dealt with later.

"I'm here."

And the smile on Childe's lips when his boyfriend came into view and Childe could quickly cover the short distance to him had nothing but affection and happiness there as an arm easily slid around the consultants shoulders and another cupped his cheek while lips captured Zhongli's for a long moment; two or three moments more like. Even if he had a full seven days there to spend with his lover, Childe knew he had to savor all the waking minutes he'd have, not knowing exactly when he'd be here like this again. For now his kisses were just affectionate, but there was definitely an unspoken promise for more later. There was a lot Childe was impatient to make up for during his recovery process as well.

Even when he barely pulled away from the kiss so he could speak again, Childe's hand moved from Zhongli's cheek to cup the back of his neck. For the time being he wouldn't be so willing to let go of the older man, but at least this close he could still see the golden eyes that always had him so easily transfixed.

"Not a scratch on me this time, just like you asked before your birthday."

@inanthesis

"Happy Father's Day Rex Lapis." She smiled and happily handed him a bouquet of qingxin flowers that she freshly picked this morning."I hope you like them."

[dawnscall]

@inanthesis asked for something soft 👉🏻👈🏻

there are often times that hearing zhongli recounting a fond memory brought him peace, content just to listen to his lover as he spoke and aired out his thoughts about his past experiences. even if he spoke for hours, diluc could be enthralled enough in his storytelling that it could feel like mere minutes, and even lead to him falling asleep at his lover's side. tonight, however, diluc decided to take up the storytelling mantle, finding himself a bit more than pleased that his beloved felt so comfortable with his arms wrapped around his waist, face resting against the young master's thigh. in truth, he looked perhaps a bit too comfortable and uninhibited to reasonably still be listening to his tale. how could he be blamed for such a thing when diluc's fingers gently carded through his soft locks?

' hmm.. are you still listening? i can stop for now if you've managed to doze off. '

Random starter for @inanthesis (Kaeya)

Today marks day 3 since Puss in Boots arrived in Teyvat. He spent the first two days camping out in Whispering Woods. Wanting to see more of the new world he was in, Puss found the City of Mondstadt. Walking through the city, he found some people staring at him with surprised and confused looks. He couldn't exactly blame them. After all, who's ever seen a a cat wear boots in Teyvat?

Puss's thoughts about how to survive in the city were interrupted when he heard a commoner call out "Stop, thieves!" The cat saw some treasure hoarders in the distance, so he leaped onto the city rooftops and ran after them. It didn't take him very long to catch up. Once he caught up with the treasure hoarders, Puss leaped in front of them and drew his sword, ready for battle.

"Fear me if you dare!" he said. Without a second thought, the treasure hoarders drew their swords, but they were no match for Puss. The cat was easily able to take them down. Sensing how skilled Puss was, the treasure hoarders dropped the bags of money they stole and ran away. The townspeople gazed at Puss in awe and amazement at how he easily defeated the bandits. One of the citizens that caught Puss's eye was a tall young man with navy blue hair and an eyepatch.

"....Big brother." Livio looked his elder up and down, scanning Nichholas's features with a light snort.

"You look like shit."

With that he pressed passed the gap between them and yanked the Punisher into a bone crushing embrace.

“I don’t want to read I want to do something” she groans rolling her eyes. She huffs sitting up. Glaring at him as he reads to himself. She so badly wants to pull his hair. Just to make him pay attention.

“Let’s do something Neuvillette! All you do is read and cry. Can’t we do something fun for once?”

@inanthesis || Childe's about to be in trouble in Fontaine

Summertime always meant nicer weather almost wherever he went (save for his homeland but that's always to be expected of Snezhnaya), and it meant that any bit of free time Childe had could be dedicated to training however he desired, be it practicing his archery or conditioning his physical body.

Training by himself was all well and good, but the absence of someone worthwhile to train alongside to give him a moving target to go opposite against and give him something to keep his mind active while using his body, it became boring much faster. Childe was absolutely roasting in the Sumeru heat while waiting on further orders about journeying out to Natlan and wasn't expecting any news from the Tsaritsa to arrive for another day or two at the earliest.

So that begged the idea: why not briefly go somewhere with a much more agreeable climate that also happened to have someone Childe was absolutely itching to have a proper match against? Surely another Harbinger would be able to bypass some of the ridiculous protocol to allow Childe to gain an audience with Neuvillette to demand request a proper fight. The one on the stage in the Opera Epiclaise would never suffice for how quickly it had been put to an end.

There was one thing immediately stopping him: the man way that Childe knew would have things to say about him doing such a thing. But with him two nations away in Liyue, there's no way Zhongli would know what his lover was up to. There had to be no way.

The only detour made was stopping by Yilong Warf to purchase some tea to send back to his mother that she had become quite fond of, and perhaps stepping foot on Liyue territory where the adeptus could sense his presence and know what direction he went in was going to be Childe's downfall in not getting caught.

The excitement in finally seeking out a rematch was strong within Childe's body, especially once the boat that would take him to Lumidouce Harbor pushed off and he was on his way. It would only take a couple hours time for him to be on solid ground again and making the walk to the Fountain of Lucine to catch the aquabus. And by the time he was within the city limits, the excitement in the Harbingers body had only grown even stronger, as did the itch for a spar that would really challenge his skills.
