this is an independent roleplay blog for gorou of genshin impact , as written by mocha . i’ll make this pinned neat and clean and all fixed up later , but for now , if you need my rules , you can just refer to these ones ! they’ll be pretty much the same .

❛ for … real ? ❜ heaven knows he’s shocked by this revelation ! the temptation to touch it now , however , has dissipated entirely —— he can do without it : the other’s reaction is simply adorable / that’s enough for him , he’ll feed off that response for now . ❛ ah … i was joking though ! ❜ a cruel joke in its own right . ❛ i wanted to see whether you’d let me or not and … apparently you would ! ❜ & he’s proud of the fact too —— that gorou is instantly swayed by his mere existence . ( so … cute ! ) ❛ you’re safe . for now . ❜
❛ what do you mean , this time ?! ❜ so ominous ! gorou huffs , furrows his brows , crosses his arms defiantly . ❛ only because i felt bad ! you looked so sad , i couldn’t just say no , even if i really wanted to . ❜ another huff , this one even more dejected than the last . ❛ i should start touching and tugging random things on you , see how you like it . ❜
❝ —- hm , is that so ? ❞ zhongli’s gloved hand skims over his lips as he hums in thought, ❝ there’s no need to be so modest with me, general. rather, speaking candidly would be of most benefit to us both in this situation. ❞
he’s right , of course . he’s always right . that’s what gorou gets , he supposes , for talking to someone whose job is literally to be an expert — but still , it makes his eyes fall to the floor when his lie is called into attention . ❛ . . . okay , fine . i — i just . . . REALLY wanted that piece of cake . ❜
❛ wow … so mean ! hurting my feelings … ❜ so feisty ! it amuses tohma , truthfully , he finds it quite … cute ! perhaps cuter than he actively should : he’s aware that part of the cuteness is due to the fact that gorou is part dog : it is no secret that he is a dog lover of epic proportions but apart from that even the way gorou carries himself sparks something in his chest . ( so cute ! ) he will refrain from any other physical touch , least for the time being . ❛ aw man … i just wanted to hear that cute little noise again . ❜
well , now he feels bad . gorou isn’t quite certain how he managed to have the situation turned on him quite so quickly , but he hesitates , frowns at the sight of tohma’s expression . ❛ . . . hey , don’t look at me like that . ❜ his grip loosens on his tail , hesitantly frees it once more . he feels guilty , as though somehow he is in the wrong for denying that embarrassing sound on command .
❛ . . . okay , fine . just . . . just once , okay ? it’s embarrassing . i’m embarrassed . ❜ he feels like he’s going to CRY .
that noise : it’s enough to make him instantly snap his attention back towards the other’s person , gaze averted from the tail he’d once been grasping . ❛ huh ? ❜ he’s honestly shocked beyond belief , it makes him red in the face : just a little bit / the scrunch of his nose that follows is an attempt at dispersing the blush that settles on his cheeks . & it works , just a tad , dissipates until what was once a prominent blush is now a very soft , very light dusting of pink .
his hand hovers over tail tip & he has half the mind to pull once more —— even harder this time : he’s a little too visibly excited . ❛ do it . again . ❜
❛ not a chance ! ❜ gorou huffs discontentedly , swiftly withdrawing tail close to his body where he covers it protectively with his arms before barking at him in response . ❛ stop it , tohma . leave my tail alone ! ❜ he's so embarrassed that he wants to cry , but fends it off with a fierce show of anger . ( he’s not angry , not really — but it’s the only thing he can do to stop himself from running off & hiding for the rest of his life out of pure , unadulterated SHAME . )
he blinks once , twice , thrice & a fourth time for extra measure . the silence is thick in the air , & he tilts his head to the side to make his confusion ever more visible . until it comes , the loud resounding snort of a laugh that escapes him —— is this a serious question ? is gorou actually asking for permission : he’s adorable , tohma thinks he might just lose his mind . ❛ what ? ❜ this cannot be real , he refuses to believe that he is in this situation right now , that gorou is so respectful that he feels the need to ask if he can use pet names . ( 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 & 𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝 . ) ❛ are you … asking me if you can use a pet name for me ? ❜ even when the notion is spoken audibly it still sounds so fake , something straight out of a novel —— he figures gorou is simply trying his best , attempting to not overstep or leap right over boundaries . he’s so cute it physically hurts tohma to the very depths of his soul . ❛ you’re my boyfriend , of course you can call me honey : you didn’t have to ask . ❜
he waits , impatiently , ever watchful gaze set ‘pon fingers for what feels like far too long . he feels a fool for trembling so hard , even now , throughout his entire body , but when finally he sees the thing that he’s been so eager to receive , he goes cold with fear for a split second . it looks so big , gorou thinks , that he might die if he takes it inside of him . & then , after a moment , he realizes that , in this instance , there is no way he would rather go . he’s desperately wanting it , & if anything , the fear of its size turns him on even more .
the pushing in him , however , makes him instantly gasp out , giving a loud , long moan when he digs his nails instinctively into tohma’s back , underneath his shirt where his arms pull it skyward , enough to draw blood . he’s impatient , far too impatient — he tries , poorly , from his position , to roll his hips into him , to take more of him into himself than he has as of yet . already , tohma’s order to shut up is nearly forgotten , though it lingers in the back of his mind as but one more DRIVING factor of his excitement .
tears spill over eyelids down his cheeks simply because he is overwhelmed , & he remembers tohma’s directive , suddenly , as he is about to cry out . one hand reaches to cover his mouth , muffles the sounds that escape it while what is free of his tail thumps against lover’s legs . he can’t help it , can’t seem to control it at all — he swears that thing has a mind of its own , one which loves to EMBARRASS him at times like these . ( as though he isn’t already embarrassed enough on his lonesome . )
he feels out of control , like he’s losing his mind . he is out of control , he supposes , that’s the whole appeal — but his teeth sink again into tohma’s shoulder , harsher this time , where the skin peeks out from under cloth , if only to quiet himself . they’re only just beginning , but he feels DIZZY , feels like he’s going to faint already . ❛ t - tohma . ❜ he’s breathless , impatient , but excited . ❛ hurry up . please . ❜
@retainre asked / i love you. you don’t have to say anything, i just thought you should know.
his initial reaction is that of total shock , but is just as quickly replaced with a smile as warmth comes flooding to his heart . the nervousness makes him tremble , for matters of the heart are near foreign to him despite wearing it on his sleeve . he hides his expression from thoma , by turning his face away , but after a moment of heavy silence , his pinky finger finds its way to other’s , interlocks gently in an answer .
he pauses another moment , eyes turned to the ground before him . ❛ i . . . love you too . so much . ❜ he feels like he’s HYPERVENTILATING , like he’s going to pass out without warning . ❛ so . . . promise you’ll spend just a few more minutes with me . just for tonight . ❜
well, if that wasn’t a loaded question. unless the duty called for it, hiding information wasn’t something childe did. like his nature, explaining himself was always kept simple. family members were exempt, of course, but at the moment, he was a long ways off from home. “you like it?” he asked, with a smile. “one can hold as much secrets in a mask alone, can’t they?”
so , he won’t tell him , then . gorou isn’t too insistent on prying for more information , but he would be lying if he were to claim that the secrecy doesn’t only pique his interest even more . ❛ so ominous . what is that supposed to mean ? ❜ a DEJECTED sigh , but he gets over his disappointment as soon as it began . ❛ then . . . where is it from ? ❜
❛ it’s okay . i don’t mind — really . ❜ he’s clearly lying , judging by the annoyed flicking of his ears , but he’s doing his best to put on a BRAVE face .
❛ hey — that’s MINE . ❜ a grumble , & a growl . it truly is not that serious , but still he feels territorial over the object , as though he has any right to be .
he’s confused , for a moment , so entranced in the motion of his hips that he forgets that he must stop if they are to get any further . the comment thoma makes causes him to whine loudly — a good puppy , he says , & if it is possible for gorou to get any more aroused , that certainly does it . the bruises , the remarks , the pinning of his hips until he slows to a halt — it’s far too much for him . & then , more .
he’s barely touched , but the first finger draws from him a long moan , folds his ears back in a show of pleasure . ( he has longed for this moment for what feels like his entire life . ) his knees & his fingers shake in equal measure , as though he were nervous . he is nervous . not because of what he’s about to go through , but because it’s thoma . with the insertion of the second , he desperately grips his shoulders , as though holding on for dear life . he tries to speak , to respond somehow , but he finds that he cannot form his voice into words , only into indistinct sounds which rise from him like bubbles in the water .
more than nervous , he is terribly EXCITED .
he gasps for breath , kicks the clothes off from his ankles if only to make room for the lover who has invited himself so brazenly . ( they are only going to get in the way . ) & when thoma brings his fingers up once again , gorou is struck suddenly with an overwhelming urge , one which he cannot ignore .
he takes thoma’s hand in his own trembling digits , cheeks tinged a rosy pink . & without even thinking , tongue laps over them gently , before putting them into his mouth . he’s horribly embarrassed / shy countenance sheepishly considering just how eager he was for thoma to just touch him . any touch at all would have done , but now that he has had it , he’s only thirsty for MORE . after a moment , he somehow forces himself to speak around lover’s fingers , teary - eyed when he looks at his face .
❛ please . p-please . please . PLEASE . ❜
it’s the only thing he can manage to say , but it’s repeated in tandem with increasingly desperate whines , over & over again , like a broken record .
❛ so , that MASK — what’s it for ? ❜ it’s been piquing his curiosity ever since he first laid eyes on it , but he can’t seem to place whatever possible use it may have .
a liar ? oh how he wounds him so ! there’s a sharp exhale from his person whilst he reaches out a hand , fingers hovering over the tip of the shorter’s tail / his facial expression reveals nothing —— 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 : a stark contrast for somebody who always wears his heart on his sleeve . ❛ as a matter of fact … i would pull a full dog’s tail , gently though , ❜ a shrug & without any warning , he tugs , 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 , on the tail now within his grasp , grin ever ecstatic . ❛ but you’re only part dog so this should be fine . ❜
he’s not the type to doubt his friends . in fact , he takes pride in just how much loyalty he offers to each & every one of them . this is why he doesn’t even consider that thoma may have more NEFARIOUS concepts in mind , instead offering a watchful gaze & nothing more . it’s when his tail is finally pulled that he lets out an unforeseen sound — one that he isn’t proud of — one that makes his face go RED when he cuts it off as abruptly as it began .
gorou’s eyes narrow at him , trying not to direct attention towards his own vocal mishap , though he has clearly embarrassed himself . ❛ hey , that was MEAN . it still hurts , even if i’m only part dog — & i said to be gentle ! ❜
@geoba asked : just say the words. tell me you want me and i’m yours.
❛ i want you , ❜ so bad it hurts . it’s making him delirious . every cell in his body feels like it’s on fire , he feels like he’s on fire . he’s acutely aware of it all , the way his heart pounds in his throat , the way it wants to jump straight out of his mouth —— the frantic rushing of blood in his ears / the yearning that seeps deep into his limbs , straight to his bones : he doesn’t think he’s wanted anyone this badly in his entire life , he doesn’t think he ever will again , because gorou is special , he’s everything he’s ever wanted & then some .
his breath hitches . it’s expected , the words that fall from his lips , but still he elicits a sharp exhale . gorou’s arms are wrapped around thoma’s neck , as though somehow it will help him get even closer than he already is . the movement makes him give a long sigh , pressing back in kind with a considerable amount of force . ( he can feel it , knows what’s coming long before it does . it makes his breathing heavy with excitement , makes his voice break . )
❛ if you don’t stop me right now , ❜ he starts , ❛ i’m going to let you . ❜ his sentence is punctuated with a kiss , one hand taking the initiative to pull loose the tie holding his lover’s hair . it shields his face from the rest of the world as it falls , & he breathes a sigh once more when he grinds hard into his hips again . one hand pulls all of thoma’s hair to one side , but the other travels in the other direction — down , down , until it stops at the top of his pants . he has half a mind to just remove them now , but that’s no fun , he thinks ; it would be a thousand times cuter to let him do it himself , to let him show his impatience in physical form , to let him have his way with him however he likes .
instead , he quickens the pace of his hips into a constant , slow roll , begins to dip his fingers underneath the stretch of fabric only to tease before they find their way back to his arm . gorou kisses his way down thoma’s face , to his neck , where he bares his fangs for a nibble . ( he tries not to be too rough — knows that he should save that for later . )
❛ i’m all yours . ❜ words are uttered in a whisper against his skin , barely audible over the sound of his own heart & accompanied with a soft whine . ❛ so just fuck me already . please . ❜
