[ Childe's eyes soften at that declaration. It's not that he had thought it would be one sided, of course, but for Zhongli to be so honest about his feelings... Childe is grateful, even if he knows it's probably also because Zhongli can't remember. Would it be too much to convince himself that Zhongli would still feel the same way, though, even if he had his memories and merely would never say it? He wants desperately to not ever feel some sort of doubt that letting this happen is an indirect way of coercing Zhongli into something he normally wouldn't want.
If only there was a way to tell for sure.
(But Zhongli touches him like Childe would think he would only from years of feelings rather than something that developed only over the months they've since been together. Even if it was only realized during that time, that could mean something was there even when Zhongli remembered everything, even if he would have never acted on it or hinted to it. Zhongli seems really happy and Childe is happy, too, so really... it's okay, isn't it? To not have to worry he's taking advantage of the other somehow.)
Despite his thoughts, he doesn't show much in terms of hesitation to react and return the affectionate touches continuing. He will speak quietly though, murmuring his words against the soft skin at the other's neck. ]
I will savor this as it will definitely be nothing short of perfect. [ his fingers move over nipples to pin and tear these them. His last words are heated and wet before he ultimately goes to kiss and lick the length of the consultant's pretty neck. ]
