“Oh, Master Grumpypants~” came Kaeya’s sing-song tease as he took his rightful place as the clearly most important patron of the night, but he wasn’t alone. No, there was a suspicious little bundle in his arms he held up for Diluc to see. A cat with a pouty little face that had Kaeya grinning ear to ear in his already tipsy state. “I borrowed this little friend from The Cat’s Tail. He’s a new recruit there and I thought he looks just like you so clearly you had to meet your long lost feline kin! I mean the resemblance is truly uncanny!”

@inanthesis + little grumpy potato!!!

there were times that diluc found himself in the percarious position of being kaeya's caretaker on nights where a few drinks weren't enough to satiate him, but this time, it seemed he would be slightly more tolerable than his usual self. clearly, his new feline friend was a bribe he knew would work despite any preconceived notion he may have had when he walked through the tavern doors, and this time, diluc was prepared beyond measure to take that bribe in stride— it just so happened to be a very cute bribe, after all. ignoring his melodic teasing, the young master pushed past his side of the counter to greet the cavalry captain and his very special guest.

' well isn't he cute.. has he got a name? ' —already, there is a distinct line drawn as far as diluc's interest in this little visit. his gloves were quickly removed and stuffed into his pocket so that he could gently stroke the long, soft fur that seemed so diligently taken care of. as far a resemblance, well... he would never admit that kaeya was right, so he opted to gently and carefully remove his guest and hold him with the utmost care. if one looked closely enough, one would see a genuinely warm smile donning his lips that brightened his features immeasurably compared to his initial thought of seeing kaeya walk in.

' such a friendly little fellow.. he can certainly stick around for a while. you, on the other hand— don't you have official knightly business to be working on? you know.. somewhere else? '

The smith had been busy at work as he usually is. Unaware of the things around him as he kept tinkering. Toothless crooned in curiosity as the smith halts in his work as he feels himself being turned around. "Diluc?" He questions curiously as the wine master ducks and lifts him over his shoulder. Baffling the smith as he yelped being put on the other shoulder. "What are you doing?!" he questions trying to get off of the other. Wiggling to get away. "Put me down! Diluc!" [ uwu ]

workaholic bf shenanigans + @dragetunge

diluc ragnvindr had never been one to shy away from things he wanted to accomplish, and now, as his darling blacksmith had been toying with his work for far too long, his newest flight of fantasy was to bring hiccup to the realization that working too much would make him very well missed— a feeling the young master could never be fond of. time and time again, he had warned hiccup of the repercussions that were sure to follow his extended time in the forge, yet, thinking he would get himself out of the line of diluc's ire, the man had batted his eyelashes and given him the expression of apology one too many times, and diluc would no longer accept the unwittingly imposed distance a moment longer.

naturally, hiccup was hammering away at his latest project, which shouldn't have come as a surprise, even if he promised to come inside once the last one was finally completed. typical— losing track of time once his mind was set on something was hiccup's forte, but diluc's determination that he keep his promises was far stronger, and unfortunately for the smith, his resolve was also strong enough to ignore the pleads and begging to be put down.

' just because you've forgotten about our dinner plans, doesn't mean that i have. i will not allow your blatant lack of time management skills to spoil our dinner once again. come along, toothless, ' & while securely holding onto hiccup— lest there be a chance for him to escape— he beckoned to the mischievous dragon to follow. one could simply not go where the other could not follow, after all.

@dawnscall : ‘ stop teasing and come kiss me. ‘ ( for zl xoxo )

"Of course, dear." The demand, naturally, only had Zhongli smiling a bit wider as he closed the distance between them and his arms wound around Diluc's slender waist.

He supposed Diluc had had more than enough of his nonsense for the evening as he would let their fingers brush but never intertwine and have his hand brush against the small of Diluc's back or waist but never pull him closer and lean in close but not enough for their lips to touch as he flit around the space he was so generously provided to store his trinkets at Dawn Winery. It was certainly a torturous affair for himself as well when all he ever wanted during time alone was to wrap his beloved in his arms and cherish him the way he deserved, but he was so caught up in organizing and decorating and the excitement of having a more permanent place in Diluc's home his teasing wasn't exactly all a conscious decision- even if there were moments he played it up simply to rile Diluc up just a little more.

"For your generosity I believe I owe you far more than a single kiss." Because even if he wasn't a human, he knew well this was part of the ritual of all that encompassed a relationship. To allow one to occupy permanent space in your home was important, and when Diluc was not often fond of Zhongli's proclivity toward collecting which he would deem a form of being spoiled it meant all that much more he was allowed to bring some of his things to admire while he visited.

Though, he had plenty of time to reminisce over what this meant for their future together at a later time because right now Zhongli was plenty content to close that unbearable gap between he and his most precious treasure to meet in a languid kiss which would lead to several more until his mere mortal love would need the space to catch his breath.

"I have said it many times and I will continue to say it many more but I love and adore you, Diluc. You have made this old man happier than I could have ever imagined."

happy birthday @inanthesis !!!! 🥰💋🔪✨

[dawnscall]

haters who use anon are such fuckin losers lmfao

[inanthesis]

"Is it?" Such was the plan, of course. Letting Diluc know just how much he was loved and cherished had become a top priority after learning all of the hardship such a young mortal had already endured, but Diluc's responses to such praise were always a very enjoyable reciprocity that never would've been necessary for Zhongli's inclination toward flowery words.

It took no more than the most mild of movements for the Zhongli to comply with whatever his beloved wanted, eyes slipping shut with a content hum as he slowly leaned back and surrendered himself to Diluc's affections. Sometimes it seemed the man was far too thorough for his own good, knowing just what to target to get the old god going, but how could he possibly complain? There wasn't even time to when in mere moments all meaningful thought would cease and the sparks of desire were lit sending a pleasant warmth all through his body, quickly growing into a raging inferno at one little word.

I'm yours. I'm yours. Yours.

"Mine." Such a simple thing, and nothing particularly new, but in this lovely, intimate moment that was all it took to inspire a change of pace. As pleasant as it always was to be at Diluc's mercy, it took little effort on Zhongli's part to flip them around so that Diluc's back met the carpet and those gorgeous, scarlet rivulets he'd paid so much careful attention to splayed out in a positively stunning halo.

"You are mine and I am yours."

Claws threatened to pierce fine fabric where a firm grip remained on Diluc's thigh and fangs grazed the shell of his ear where Zhongli uttered a promise in a whisper so slight even the universe itself would not be privy to it for nothing else could ever matter outside of them here in this moment. "Tonight, I intend to worship you."

An entire nation of devotees had pledged themselves to his many names for thousands of years, but there was only one man he truly considered his, and in this moment the old god felt he just may do anything this man asked of him, if only he would.

[dawnscall]

mine, he'd said, the word spoken in a way that sent a shudder down his spine. mine— as if he were the only thing in all of teyvat worth being called his. before diluc could even summon the words to answer such a finite and endearing statement, he found himself much at zhongli's mercy instead, basking in the glow of a smile so radiant that it put all of celestia to shame. such care had zhongli put into taking care of him, spending his time coming all the way from liyue harbor to see him as often as he did and dealing with whatever hand he was dealt that day. yours was the least that diluc could say in the hope of measuring how deeply his heart yearned for him even while in his presence.

he felt them; the tangible evidence that the man he loved was not so much a man as he was an old god, an ancient dragon that could easily tear into him as if he were nothing but a plaything, but instead let his greater features shine through as if resisting the temptation to exalt him as he always had. ' zhongli... ' the only word that parted his lips as his lover's weight bore down on him in such a way that made him absolutely irresistible. rest, of course, was only an afterthought with the way that diluc found himself utterly adored. only someone as seemingly carefree as zhongli had been during his alleged retirement could claim that he, the god of geo, would worship someone as inconsequential as diluc felt himself to be at times. beyond the shadow of his doubts, the young master's heart raced and his breath was caught in his lungs— the impact only zhongli could afflict him with... and yet, the leg not being kneaded by a clawed hand would slowly shift to wrap around his hip and pull him impossibly closer.

' and just how did i come to be loved by such a diligent devotee? i must admit that nothing could have truly prepared me for you. ' he slid his hand around the back of his beloved's neck, pulling him down just enough to press their lips together— even diluc couldn't tease zhongli during such a tender moment.

meet moose, my little babie 🤍

You can steal the post, but the true question is: can kaeya steal a tight hug from diluc?

affection?? + @frozenambiguity

it's not too often that the cavalry captain himself came to bestow such a grandiose display of affection, much less while he was sober enough not to overthink it. neither of them were too eager to put the first foot forward in order to mend what was truly broken between them; both unhappily avoiding one another while keeping each other close at the same time. it had come as an immense surprise when diluc found those arms winding around him, securing him within a tight embrace that demanded his attention in a way that was difficult to ignore.

one - off moments like these were deeply reminiscent of the times during their childhood where kaeya had scraped his knees chasing after him, or when he would find him looking morose and a bit too lonely. diluc remembered how tightly he would wrap up his most treasured friend within his arms back then, probably hoping to squeeze out all the fear that came with being in an unfamiliar place. is this what kaeya was trying to do for him now?

' . . . '

was that his breath catching in his throat? there were so many words left unsaid between the two of them that the second he's given an ounce of honesty instead of kaeya's typical guise, it's impossible to make room for any of them to properly be expressed. diluc could draw from the past— it would be far too easy, especially considering their history, but the only way to move forward was for them to put themselves in challenging situations like these, where all of diluc's remorse and sealed away memories threatened to spill over.

the young master couldn't be blamed for letting his own arms circle around the captain. maybe it was his longing for simpler days come to fruition, and a simple longing for what once was isn't reconciliation for what transpired a few short years ago, but they had to start somewhere.
