@celestibound: Guizhong: " Do we need to extend your grounding? "
“Er, no. I made a promise I wouldn’t go back on my own. It’s just something Xiao said to me, that there are spirits down there worth investigating. I’d like permission to do that.”

@celestibound asked: ❛ i haven’t laughed like this in a long time. ❜ -Lumine
he grins, sitting back against the headboard of his bed. he can’t stop smiling, his cheeks and lips hurting with the stretch. archons, how he’d missed her. missed his sister, his other half, so much. all those months of searching was worth it. even just for this moment. “let’s agree to never be parted for that long again, then,” he teases, reaching over to flick his sister’s nose gently. “then we won’t be so deprived.”

⤪ @celestibound ⊳ how can he say no ?? ⤨
--- Sitting upright within the nest of pillows and blankets, Guizhong wrapped her arms around Zhongli’s midsection. She’d cooed softly as her lips trailed tentatively . . . delicately, along his jawline in sweet kisses. “ Can you stay home today..? I want this day to be about you — spoiling with all the love you so deserve. ”

Her presence alone was like a breath of fresh air, but the sensation of those beautifully soft lips against his skin ... Any plans to leave their nest were easily cast to the wayside in favour of granting what she desired. Strong arms slid about her smaller form with ease, any space between them long gone as head tilted just enough to let lips capture hers in a surprisingly deep kiss. He could hardly help himself, it seemed.
“ I could ask for nothing better , my love ... ” The dragon hummed softly, fingers threading into ashen locks as he began showering her face with kisses - all while one hand rubbed along the arch of her back. “ How I’ve missed having you in my arms ... ”
@celestibound / Lumine: "Sometimes I wonder how and why we're related..."
“Didn’t a bunch of your ‘massagers’ fall out of your drawer the other week?”
@celestibound Guizhong tackles him from behind into a bear hug.
Has been tackled. “Hello love.”
@celestibound : delicate and soft fingers hover atop his eyelids as a gentle coo sounded from behind. " Guess who. " —— Guizhong . » unprompted / always accepting .
𝐀 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐓 , eyes blinking slowly in his spot beneath the golden pearlroot tree . doing . . . nothing . it was new for him : a peculiar thing to simply sit around & take in the scenery . he often does that of the battlefields he forges out of war & viscera , but never something so mundane as this . it was . . . awful —— exceedingly boring & strenuous on his mind , but a certain lord of dust insisted . ( if they met years ago , when morax was still as wild as the twisted landscape teeming with monstrosities , he would not have spared guizhong a second glance . but he was here , now : changed , albeit slightly —— never will he admit it was a significant one —— & following the advice of another godly being who will eventually crumble into ancient memory like he will . but no , morax was eternal . he cannot fall before his appointed time , when the earth beckons him back home to become one with the soil & rock . ) he looks up at the yellow leaves cascading to the ground , & grabs a couple of them to hold .
something obstructs his vision & morax’s entire body stills . he recognizes the soft skin , the voice filtering through behind him & into his ears . ( a song that made his heart chase after its sound , no matter how much he wills it not to . he often wonders how those hands will feel in his own , weapons carved from stone & sharpened into blades . ) but it does not stop him from always being on his guard . so . . . he already failed at relaxing , huh . “ guizhong , “ he says lowly —— the ley lines thrumming to life within him . there was bite in his delivery of her name , but it was weak : her presence has dulled it , & he cannot determine whether it was for the best or not . he looks over his shoulder at the god , then at the spot besides him . does morax wish for her to sit beside him ? ( yes , his soul cries out . he ignores the warmth pooling at his cheeks as just his body temperature . )
“ did the courtly droll also bore you to death ? “ wordlessly , he begins folding the two leaves together into a vague design of something —— reaching for more that fell from the branches above . perhaps he did not fail , for he was genuinely relaxed here —— at this spot he found . with her .
@celestibound asked:
“ Xiao? Are you here? ” Lumine called out whilst taking a peek along the empty balcony of the inn. She’d only just recently come back to Liyue . . . even then, having been swarmed with commissions the moment she’d step foot on land. That little part of her wishing to catch the Adeptus during his time off now that she was free, hoping to not of been disturbing him.
Xiao perked up when he heard a familiar voice.
The adeptus was sitting on top of the inn, things have been quietly lately in Liyue allowing him time off. Getting up from his spot he gazed over the roof and his eyes widened seeing who it was. Not caring what it looked like Xiao appeared behind Lumine in a flash, arms around her middle pulling the traveler close.
“I’m here....” Burying his face in her shoulder as he squeezed tighter, not wanting Lumine to go again.
