[ When Zhongli is lifted, he easily slides his legs around Childe, ankles hooked at the small of his back and pressed against the door so that Childe does not have to bear the brunt of all of his weight. It's intoxicating - feeling Childe's hands wander and caress parts of him that have never been touched before. To be kissed again and again enthusiastically as Childe explores him.
Quiet and embarrassing sounds (if Zhongli had enough presence of mind to be embarrassed) start slipping past his lips as well as the quiet mantra of Childe's name. Childe Childe Childe.
Though even in his current diminished capacity, Zhongli is a firm believe of equality and fairness and does not back down just because something is new and unfamiliar. So his own hands begin mimicking Childe's touches, one after another, mirroring his actions. Off-balance as he is, he does not have enough presence of mind to properly distinguish Childe's reactions to his touches and thus Zhongli continues to stroke and caress him in the ways that he finds personally pleasing. Is he furthering exposing his own vulnerabilities? Yes. Does he mind in the slightest? Not at all.
Strange. Childe was a Harbinger, a bringer of death from another nation, was rumored to have attempted to drown Liyue Harbor if the gossip of the town were to be believe. And yet Zhongli felt nothing but safe and cared for here in Snezhnaya and here in his arms. ]
You always---
[ The words are a faint whisper lost in the throes of everything else that Zhongli was experiencing. ]
