Work Text:
Zhongli knew something wasn’t right when a subtle heat started creeping through his body.
But he didn’t expect it to get this bad.
Said consultant was in his home, stripped down to his undershirt. His coat was flung onto the floor, he couldn’t bother with it right now, not when this odd heat threatened to consume him. The ceiling fan was on maximum speed and yet, the heat within him did not subside in the slightest.
Where did everything go wrong? Zhongli wondered, his mind getting hazy from the unfamiliar coiling in his gut.
He had been out the past few hours to help the traveller with their commissions. There had been reports of a particularly aggressive batch of pyro whopperflowers in the area around Mt. Tianheng, which was a little too close to the harbour for Zhongli’s comfort. So he had tagged along, wishing to check the situation out himself.
The situation was more out of hand than either of them had expected. There were five angry whopperflowers on the pathway, throwing attacks at everything that caught their eyes. The millelith had already blocked off the area, there was no one else in the area except for them. Zhongli cast his shield on both of them, nodding at the traveller. They returned the nod and the pair headed into the mess of writhing flowers.
The fight was going rather well, three out of five of the whopperflowers had already been defeated. Zhongli summoned a Stone Steele, toppling one of them over before dealing swift and precise strikes to it, effectively taking it out without much hassle. One more left.
The ex-archon turned to look at the last whopperflower that the traveller was currently occupied with. This one seemed particularly aggressive and the traveller was stumbling a little. They weren’t able to get close enough with all the thrashing it was doing, causing them to keep a distance. They were about to cast a skill when suddenly, the monster rushed forward to attack, catching them off-guard. Zhongli dashed forward without thinking.
And put himself in-between the monster and the traveller, in direct hit of the incoming attack. He realised a little too late that he wouldn’t be able to put up a shield in time right after casting a Steele beforehand. Still, he braced himself for the impact.
Zhongli was met with a faceful of powder, causing him to squeeze his eyes shut and cough, waving his hands in front of his face to dispel the powdery substance. Seeing as the monster was distracted, the traveller darted forward and struck their sword through the whopperflower, watching as it flopped to the ground, dead.
Zhongli was still choking. The dense amount of fine powder had made its way into him, it was unlike anything the ex-archon had ever experienced before. His eyes were tearing up from being exposed to the fine substance as well and there was an odd feeling spreading through him. The traveller had kindly assisted by patting his back and fanning the area to dissipate the little remains of powder.
Several moments later, Zhongli finally felt well enough to speak. “I am feeling… a little under the weather but I should be fine after some rest. You need not worry yourself, I have caused enough trouble for you with my carelessness.” His eyebrows furrowed at the hoarseness of his voice.
Frowning, the traveller insisted that they accompanied him back to Liyue Harbour. Zhongli nodded, dismissing the unusual feeling in his abdomen.
By the time they reached the harbour, Zhongli was panting slightly, a thin sheen of sweat had gathered on his forehead. The traveller looked at him worriedly but he was quick to wave their concern off and they parted ways there. Zhongli headed back to his home in quick strides and failed to notice the traveller’s gaze lingering on his back before heading to BuBu Pharmacy.
(The traveller was very intuitive, they knew that the whopperflower had done something to Zhongli to affect him this much and they were intent on finding out what it was.)
Back to the present, the ex-archon was kneeling on the floor, the cool wood doing wonders to his heated skin. He sighed, removing his gloves and pulling up his pants. Looking down, he noticed that his… male organ had risen and was tenting his pants. It had happened before and Zhongli knew from his past experiences that it would go down after several moments.
It did not work this time. Zhongli had shifted positions halfway through, sitting cross-legged on the wooden tiles but it did not help his situation in the slightest. He had waited for fifteen minutes and yet…
The brunette groaned in discomfort. He knew he needed something. But what was it?
Glancing down with a frown, he lightly poked the tip of his hard cock in curiosity. It was as if electricity shot through him. Zhongli gasped, the overwhelming feeling too much for him to bear. He lost his balance, toppling over with his face against the floor and his hips raised high into the air. “W-What was-”
Suddenly, loud knocking came from the front door, followed by a voice.
“Xiansheng? Are you home?” It was Childe. Groaning, Zhongli pushed himself up to a sitting position. Slowly, he got to his feet, using the edge of a table to assist himself. The knocking persisted, causing an uncomfortable dull thrumming sensation in his head. The consultant then realised that he had yet to give a response.
“Childe, I am here. Is there anything you need?” He winced as he tried to raise his voice, his throat dry and sore.
“The traveller asked me to check up on you and said that you weren’t feeling well. Could you open the door?”
“Ah… I couldn’t trouble you to take time off to look after me, I should be able to manage on my own.” Still, Zhongli made his way over to the door, albeit slowly.
“I’ll decide that after I take a look at your condition.” Sighing in defeat, Zhongli opened his door a crack and Childe pushed it open, making his way in with a stern look on his face. The brunette vaguely thought that it looked uncharacteristic of him.
Intense blue eyes peered at him. Zhongli shuddered under his gaze.
Reaching up, Childe took off his glove and used the back of his hand to touch Zhongli’s forehead.
What happened next was something neither of them had expected.
The ex-archon instantly leaned into his touch and let out a soft moan. Flinching away, Zhongli trained his gaze onto the floor and refused to look up, he even took a step back.
“My apologies. I do not know what came over me.”
Childe stared. The traveller had warned him that the consultant wasn’t acting like his usual self, but he had no idea it would be quite so serious. They had gone to BuBu Pharmacy to inquire about whopperflower powder and had told Childe that it had some unexpected side effects that medicine couldn’t cure. Childe had raised his eyebrows at that, but the traveller simply sighed and refused to elaborate, stating that it was a matter that only Childe could handle. (And muttered under their breath that Childe should be glad for this chance.)
He didn’t understand back then, but now as he was staring at Zhongli’s flushed face and that moan from before, the Harbinger was starting to get it. Inwardly, he rejoiced. Every time Childe had tried to make a sexual innuendo or bring up the topic of sex to the brunette, Zhongli would shy away, pretending to cough and look away or change the topic. Childe had thought that the man was uncomfortable with such acts and decided not to press further, accepting that their relationship did not need to involve sex. But he was a young man and he had urges at times too. His imagination often ran wild with thoughts of Zhongli spread out under him, just waiting to get ravished.
“It seems to me that you could use some help.” Blue eyes focused on the tent in his dark pants.
“N-No, that would be unnecessary, this sickness will go away on its own.” Zhongli could be really stubborn when he wanted to.
Taking a step closer, Childe invaded his personal space and gently put a hand on the other’s hip, light enough that he could be easily shaken off. Zhongli froze, his breath hitching. Suddenly, the consultant was trembling. Unable to support himself any longer, Zhongli’s knees buckled and he fell forward. Childe caught him immediately, frowning.
“Do you want my help?” A serious tone taking over his usually playful one.
Zhongli grimaced. “I don’t suppose I have a choice here… could you assist me in getting to my bedroom?” Huffing, Childe hooked an arm under his knees and used his other arm to support his back, picking the ex-archon up easily in a bridal carry.
“You do have a choice. Although I think I’ll have to spell it out for you to fully understand what you’re going through.”
Upon setting the consultant gently down on the silk covers of the bed, Zhongli sighed as the coolness of the sheets soothed his heated skin. He felt the bed dip beside him and looked towards it to find Childe staring at him with an unreadable expression. The ginger opened his mouth, then closed it, mulling over what he would say next.
“Are you aware of what an aphrodisiac is?” Zhongli blinked, then nodded, a little confused.
“I think the whopperflower powder that hit you has similar effects to that of an aphrodisiac. You must feel very aroused right now. I can… help you with this situation if you’d let me.”
What I’m feeling is… arousal? Zhongli moved to cover his face with his arms, seemingly embarrassed.
“I apologise… I am not well-versed in sexual intimacy so I was unable to identify the odd feeling that has been plaguing me for a while now. I have only read about sexual acts in literature… I do not believe I can do this alone. Your help would be much appreciated, Childe.” Zhongli said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Childe paused. Only read about sexual acts?
Could it be?
“Xiansheng, are you… a virgin?”
He nodded, a soft sigh escaping his lips. “I was… hesitant to let you know. I did not wish to disappoint you with my inexperience, hence I have been avoiding the topic of sex when you bring it up. I am sorry that I do not meet your expectations.”
The Harbinger sputtered. “No way! I’m not disappointed at all, I’m actually really excited now. This just means that I’ll have to give you some hands-on experience, right?” He winked.
Zhongli shyly nodded, moving to unbutton his shirt.
He’s so cute!
With all his clothes removed, Zhongli sat upright, shuddering as the cool air tickled his skin. He looked towards Childe for guidance, eyes hazy with lust. Inching closer, the ginger grabbed a hold of Zhongli’s shoulder, pulling him nearer to his chest. Startled and not in full control of his limbs, the brunette fell forward, blushing as his head rested on Childe’s broad shoulder.
Chuckling, Childe directed his gaze downwards. There, his cock was hard and slightly curved, red and leaking precum. Zhongli fidgeted, the heat in his gut was searing hot and he needed release. Looking up at Childe, he silently pleaded for help. Luckily, the Harbinger seemed to know exactly what he needed.
Childe closed his hand around the leaking cock and Zhongli involuntarily jerked his hips up, muffling a moan.
“It’s alright. I’m here to help you feel good, you don’t have to hold back.” Shakily, Zhongli moved his hands from his mouth and rested them on Childe’s shoulders. When the ginger made slow up and down motions on his erection, Zhongli could feel himself melt against Childe. What is this feeling…? So odd and yet, so pleasurable…
It didn’t take him long to cum thanks to the aphrodisiac in his system. Zhongli flinched when the bundle of nerves in his lower abdomen unravelled, squeaking when cum spurted out from his cock and dirtied the bed. The brunette glanced at the white substance in confusion.
A low whistle made Zhongli glance at Childe, eyes still glazed over from post-orgasmic bliss.
“That aphrodisiac must be pretty strong for you to still be hard after releasing so much cum, or maybe you’re just pent up. Maybe it’s both.” He chuckled, wiping his hand on the dirty sheets. Zhongli hummed, “So that substance is… cum.”
Childe stared at him again. “Have you never masturbated before? You know what, don’t answer that. I probably already know the answer.”
Zhongli nodded, leaning in to rest his head on the crook of Childe’s neck.
“If that’s the case, I want to see just how many ways I can get you to cum.” Childe’s shocked face morphed into a smirk, his hands already roaming around his chest. They came to rest on his chest, calloused thumbs rubbing over his pink nipples, making them perk up easily.
“Nnh… Childe, I-I feel weird. Ah!” The pinching caught Zhongli off-guard, electricity shooting down his spine. The brunette’s hardened nipples ached pleasantly when they were pulled and Zhongli arched his back beautifully to push his chest forward instinctively.
“That’s alright, it means that it’s working!” Childe alternated between pinching, rubbing and pulling them, watching as Zhongli’s breathing quickened. Two particularly harsh tweaks had him cumming with a low moan.
“My, so sensitive… That’s two.” His nipples were red and swollen from the rough treatment, a dull throbbing could be felt from them. Zhongli studied them curiously until Childe pushed him to lie on his back and bent his legs. Upon catching Zhongli looking confusedly at him, Childe simply smiled and reached into his pocket. A vial of clear liquid was popped open and the Harbinger proceeded to pour the contents into his hand. Rubbing it over his fingers, he leaned in.
“This will take some getting used to, no need to be afraid, okay?” Zhongli didn’t know what was happening, but the assurance helped him to calm down a little. Shyly, he nodded, bracing himself for something unexpected. Childe prodded at his pucker, spreading the slightly slimy substance around it before pushing a finger in.
“A-Ah!” Instinctively, Zhongli squeezed around it, tensing up.
“Shh, it’s alright. Let me take care of you.” Childe’s finger was barely in but he couldn’t go any further when Zhongli was still so tense. Looking up, he saw that the brunette’s eyes were squeezed shut, his shoulders raised and tensed. Childe frowned.
“Do you want me to take it out?” Zhongli shook his head, insisting that he was fine. Childe sighed, if the brunette was so tense, he wouldn’t be able to spread him out properly. The ginger used his free hand to grasp a plush asscheek to steady the ex-archon from forcing his finger in or he would hurt himself. Subconsciously, the hand on Zhongli's ass started groping around it, sinking his fingers into the globe.
“Nnh… Childe, it feels… good.” The consultant had opened his eyes, a blush spreading across his cheeks as he looked to the side. Childe had to pause, barely able to stop himself from cooing at the cute man. He increased his efforts in groping the soft ass, watching in delight as Zhongli’s cock started leaking again. He removed his finger and Zhongli whined, his hole clenching around nothing. But Childe shushed him. “I’ll make you feel better in a moment.”
In one swift movement, the Harbinger used his strength to flip the consultant around, such that his face was down, pressed into the pillows. Childe raised his ass up and groped all over it, watching as it spilled over his fingers. Zhongli shuddered under him, the simmering heat under his skin growing even hotter. It’s so full and round… I can’t even grab all of it in my hands! His ass is so squishy I could just- Before he even registered the thought, Childe bit into the plush ass, moaning against the softness. Zhongli yelped, the rough action sending pleasure down his spine as he came onto the sheets.
Zhongli was shuddering, his knees already trembling as he struggled to support his weight. Childe flipped him onto his back again, gently brushing Zhongli’s damp bangs away from his face and pressed a quick kiss to his lips.
“Three.” The ginger whispered next to Zhongli’s ear, nibbling on it lightly. Unexpectedly, Zhongli moaned. Seemed like the aphrodisiac was kicking in full force for the consultant to moan at the slightest stimulation. The embarrassment seemed to have faded as well.
Childe pressed one of his lubed fingers into Zhongli’s entrance again and this time, there was barely any resistance as the brunette relaxed and sighed, pleased. Childe smiled and eased his finger further in, chuckling when Zhongli tried to wiggle his ass to take more of it.
“Xiansheng is so cute… Don’t worry, I’ll give you more.” He eased a second finger into Zhongli’s entrance.
“Nnh! Hah… G-Good…” A hooded pair of amber eyes were staring right at him, glowing slightly. Slowly, Childe made a scissoring motion with his fingers, stretching Zhongli out. The brunette gasped, grasping tightly onto the pillow he was laying on.
“Does it hurt?” Zhongli shook his head vigorously, surprisingly eager. The Harbinger chuckled. He added another finger in, making Zhongli’s mouth open in a silent scream as he adjusted to the stretch. When Childe deemed him ready, he thrust his fingers in and out, hitting deeper and deeper each time. The brunette was drooling now, the sounds of his moans mingled with the wet slaps of the palm hitting his ass.
Childe then curved his fingers in the tight passage, aiming for the spot that he knew would send Zhongli seeing stars. The reaction was instantaneous. With a loud cry, the ex-archon arched his back off the bed and cum splattered across his toned body. Childe continued thrusting while Zhongli came down from his high.
“And that’s four,” Childe said merrily, retracting his fingers. Zhongli glanced up at him. This time, those amber eyes held a bit more clarity to them and Childe knew his time was up. Sure, he had a raging erection that had been tenting his pants from the beginning, but he could always just take care of it himself.
“Well then, now that most of the aphrodisiac has been removed from your system, xiansheng should be fine now!”
But those glowing eyes were focused somewhere else. Following his line of sight, Childe realised that Zhongli was eyeing his erection.
“A-Ah… not to worry! I can handle it myself. You must be exhausted, xiansheng.” Still, the brunette paid him no mind. Instead of being tired, Zhongli crawled forward, his eyes not moving away from the very obvious tent in Childe’s pants. The ginger sat still, not knowing what was on the other’s mind.
Zhongli stopped right in front of him, leaned down, and started licking at his erection through his pants. Childe had to use every ounce of self-restraint he had to stop himself from thrusting upwards.
“Wh-What? Xiansheng, wait!” He gently grabbed the ex-archon’s shoulders, pushing him back.
“What is the matter, Childe? I am simply repaying you for your help. Unless… that was the wrong way to do so…?” Zhongli had looked… crestfallen.
“N-No, that’s not what I meant! Uh… I meant… I already stretched out your hole so it would be a shame not to use it, right?” Childe was panicking internally. What the fuck did I just say?
However, Zhongli simply nodded, turning around to lean on his hands and knees. He was presenting his ass to Childe, looking back at him expectantly.
This man is going to be the end of me.
Exasperated, Childe sighed, running a hand through his hair. Zhongli was still waiting for him. Quickly pulling his pants and undergarment off, Childe approached the brunette and laid his hands on his wide hips.
“Alright… this will probably hurt since it’s your first time, but I need you to relax for it to be enjoyable for you too.” Determined, Zhongli nodded, pushing his ass backwards onto Childe’s crotch. So eager.
Lining his painfully hard cock against Zhongli’s lubed entrance, Childe pushed in. Zhongli gripped the sheets tightly as tears brimmed in his eyes.
“Ngh… Childe… so big!” The three fingers that Childe used to spread him out couldn’t compare to this. Zhongli’s inner walls spasmed as he tried to accommodate the length. The Harbinger pushed further in at a slow pace, letting Zhongli get used to his size.
Soon, he had managed to fit his whole cock within the consultant, letting out a groan as his hips pressed against the other’s plump ass. Zhongli whimpered, clearly not used to the feeling yet. He felt so full.
Childe made small movements, grinding his hips slightly in an attempt to make Zhongli more comfortable. Soon, the brunette was letting out small moans and was even trying to push his ass backwards. Childe pulled out slightly and thrust back in, his cock going even deeper, making Zhongli cry out in pleasure.
“M-More…” Zhongli’s voice was so soft, embarrassed to be making such dirty demands but the heat in his gut was burning even hotter and he needed more. Childe’s heart was thumping quickly in his chest as he sped up the pace of his thrusts. Lewd noises of their intercourse filled the room and only seemed to grow louder when the brunette focused on it. Zhongli was blushing hard, from the haze of pleasure and a bit of embarrassment. He wanted to cover his ears but he was busy keeping himself upright from Childe’s thrusting.
Tears slid down his face at the foreign pleasure, the many sensations too much and too little at the same time. Zhongli’s mind was muddled, but the coiling heat in his gut was more prominent than any of the thoughts in his mind.
When Childe’s cock pushed past his prostate roughly, the noise that Zhongli let out made his blush spread to the tips of his ears. His muscles clenched tightly as the brunette felt the familiar rush of pleasure through his body. Zhongli came so hard that his vision flashed white for a moment, a shudder passing through him. What was unfamiliar though, was the feeling of a thick liquid rapidly filling his insides. Zhongli glanced behind in question, to see that Childe had his eyes squeezed shut and was holding onto his hips for dear life.
Ah. So Childe is… cumming inside me.
They stayed like that for a while, Zhongli subconsciously bucking his hips backwards to ride out his orgasm. Several moments passed and Zhongli was finally feeling the fatigue of cumming five times in a row, his legs threatening to give out from under him. The only thing that was keeping him upright was Childe’s grip on his hips. Speaking of which, the ginger was still cumming and Zhongli wiggled around, discomfort creeping up his abdomen.
“C-Childe, are you done? It is getting a little uncomfortable…”
“Yeah, I’m almost done.” Childe exhaled loudly.
When he finally pulled out, cum dribbled out of Zhongli’s loose hole, sliding down his inner thighs and making him shudder. The ex-archon’s legs decided to stop working once Childe removed his hands, causing the pair to tumble onto the bed. Childe flopped onto his back, dazedly staring at the ceiling.
“I’ve never cum that hard in my life…” Zhongli tilted his head, rolling over to face Childe while laying on his side.
“I… take it that it is a good thing?”
Childe seemed to snap back to the present, glancing at Zhongli before erupting into laughter. All the while Zhongli was looking at him in a mix of confusion and amusement.
“I am still inexperienced in this area, but I assume that your reaction is a positive one.” The brunette gave him a small smile. The air seemed to rush out of Childe’s lungs, leaving him breathless at the adorable man in front of him.
“Of course it’s a positive one, xiansheng! You’re amazing, I'd love to teach you more.” Once he saw Zhongli’s eyebrows knit together with a retort on his tongue, Childe pulled the consultant into an embrace, effectively quieting him.
“Before you start arguing with me, I just want to say that I genuinely do not mind that you don’t have any previous experiences with intimate acts between lovers. We can learn together and that just makes it all the more special, don’t you think?”
Zhongli glanced up at him with wide eyes. His stunned expression gave way to a smile that had his eyes turning into crescents as he nodded, making Childe’s heart stutter.
How lucky I am to have you.
