Work Text:
During late winter, there's a time of the month where couples are seen more often hanging out during picnics, stargazing together, eating from each other's fingers strawberries covered in chocolate and more intimate acts.
To Xiao, this was an unknown tradition that he's been oblivious to for the past thousand years. It simply wasn't relevant to him. He knew he could die any moment, forever be alone and dealt with it. Why bother even remembering the name of this event?
But watching these couples for a few years sparked something in him. Something he couldn't explain easily. Maybe familiarity? They always reminded him of Aether and him.
They have been together for merely three years, not even a 1% of Xiao's lifetime and he already felt like something may have changed in him. Being with Aether, softly kissing him and gifting crystalflies…
The idea of showing your relationship to the world by kissing and proposing in public once irritated him, yet now, it almost seems… endearing.
What is this feeling?
After a long day of purging demons, Xiao returned to Wangshu Inn, as usual any other day. By now his meal should be ready, as smiley yanxiao always considers him as a regular guest.
As he came down the stairs to the kitchen, he noticed a gift lying on the table. That's odd. It seemed familiar. Pink, heart shaped box. In curiosity he peaked inside, noticing different shaped chocolate snacks lying inside, some already missing.
“Adeptus Xiao, You're back just in Time, I finished all the orders!”
“Right. Say, what's the meaning of this box on the table?” He pointed to the gift, his expression calm.
“Ah— I forgot to take it off, sorry to bother you, ha.” The cook awkwardly laughed.
Smiley Yanxiao left the stove to grab the box, but Xiao stopped him.
“No, in fact, it's the opposite. One is interested in this thing on the table.”
“Oh, you mean my gift? A girl and I exchanged gifts. I gave her a bracelet, she gave me chocolate. Do you wish to try it, Adeptus Xiao?”
“No need. Didn't you do this 2 months ago? One can vividly remember you bringing gifts to that girl too.”
“Oh, that's during winter, it's a whole different thing! Everyone brings gifts to their loved one, but Valentines are for couples only.”
“Valentines? Limitations to holidays? How Absurd.”
“That's how it is, and if it allows me to get sweet chocolate, so be it!”
Xiao rolled his eyes, unable to fathom the concept of only-being-limited-to holidays, world wide.
Then again, now that Yanxiao has mentioned couples, he wonders, has Aether given him gifts on Valentines? He can't remember, he usually brings gifts unexpectedly whenever, excluding winter holiday.
It'd be humiliating to not bring him a present too.
“Yanxiao, one requires your help.”
“Tell me all about it!”
“Tell me more about gifts, ones most appropriate for this ‘Valentines’.”
For a couple of hours of chatting, which despite Xiao's lack of social skills, was useful. He learned all about this Valentine's thing, to the best gifts to even the dirty secrets of this event. At one point he had to make sure the food from his jaw wouldn't drop.
Time passes by quickly, far quicker than Xiao expected. By now it should be Yan Xiao's lunch break and he didn't even realize he was taking the humans precious time to replenish his energy.
“Thank you, one owes you.”
“Don't sweat it, Conqueror of demons, I’m always free to help.”
Yanxiao brushed the back of his head, his throat tired from all the talking he did. With Xiao near, it's almost like he's talking to himself, Xiao might as well not be there. Then suddenly, he realized something. His expression indicated a lightbulb flashed inside his head.
“Oh, one more thing! I made this new syrup for the Almond tofu. If you're curious, you can go ahead and taste it. To be honest with you, I think it's tasty on its own. All though the side effects are interesting.” the chef blushed.
Yanxiao headed to one of the counters to grab a heart shaped vial, the liquid inside glowing a bright pink. It's one Xiao’s never seen before. He would’ve never guessed that this is supposed to be syrup for his favorite dish.
“What a peculiar color.” Xiao circled it around, watching as the liquid flowed.
“Ying’er gave the idea, thought I'd try something new. You must get bored of the same taste, don't you?”
Xiao’s face didn't budge. No, he enjoyed the same taste over and over again.
“Not really, but I'll keep this in mind.” Xiao shrugged, holding the bottle in his hand carefully. Thank you, again.”
“Good luck with whoever your partner is!”
…
At first, Xiao thought he would never actually try something like this. Hide it, and try to forget it. But no matter what, he would come back to stare. This wasn't like him. He doesn't try new things unless it's for Aether or Rex Lapis.
This… this was a curiosity of his own.
The syrup lied on the table unmoving, but he had this feeling that it was staring at him, whispering tempting murmurs to his ears.
“Taste it. What harm could possibly be done? You've lived through worst torture, yet fear a simple syrup? Not very noble of the last living yaksha.” Karmic debt whispered in the back of his mind.
“Shut it.” Xiao spoke out loud. It's not that he feared, he felt that something was wrong. Like a succubus eating his brain. It was just annoying.
“Come on, it won't hurt anyone. You coward! Just drink it!” it spoke to him again, a little louder than before.
This was supposed to be syrup for almond tofu, yet Xiao doubts it's supposed to help him with the taste. It could be drunk just fine on its own.
As an Adeptus, it's only natural he's stronger, he can hold puke or anything that makes it difficult for an average human. Aware of this, he can't have anyone try it except him. Even if Yanxiao accidentally gave him poison. If it is, it certainly won't give him the worst effect.
Right?
Xiao grabbed the bottle of this mysterious pink liquid, and without thinking a second further, let his lips part, match with the bottle, clenching the thirst of his tongue.
He drank and swallowed the incredibly tasty syrup, leaving the bottle half full.
He set the bottle down, taking a minute to breathe. At first, nothing happened. He didn't feel anything at all. Yanxiao was right, it was just a tasty sweet drink. Was he just overreacting?
A minute, then two. Then three. Nothing.
“This… was truly humiliating." Xiao frowned. Why did he think this would even harm him? Such paranoia.
He held the vial between his fingers, simply planning to throw it away.
Suddenly he felt a blow to his stomach, an ache that felt so…. Pleasuring.
He shook, grabbing onto his belly with one hand and the wall with another. What was that? It felt as if his insides have just been explored by a fist of some sort in a matter of seconds. He became so wet, but to his surprise, his thighs were soaked in his slick, not waste. (Thankfully)
“What the…?” Something about the feeling of being unexpectedly aroused made his stomach flutter. Instead of the chronic pain he usually feels around his body, his body is torn between lust. No…
“Sex. I want sex. I need someone to pleasure me. Please. I can't take it.” His mind demanded, replacing the dark need for blood with the need for cum.
With the little strength Xiao still had, he walked to his room step by step, hiding from any eyes that could possibly see him.
He hopes this feeling goes away.
…
“What a wild ride we had together, huh?” A white fairy flew by, stretching her body in exhaustion.
“Yeah, it sure was, but at least we got what we needed.” The mighty traveler followed, holding a box to his chest and glancing at it from time to time. A light pink color, heart-shaped box.
“You mean, what you needed.” Paimon scoffs, crossing her arms in annoyance. How typical.
“Right, right. I just hope he likes it…” Aether glances at the box one more time, letting a low sigh. “Last year he didn't even realize it was Valentines. Hopefully he doesn't forget this time.”
“Paimon remembers that, he was clueless on what Valentines even was!” Paimon added, shaking her head in disappointment.
It was partially humiliating, but not surprising. Such adepti don't care about things like holidays, some even for lantern rite itself even if it's their region's most important event.
“You know what? Paimon will go do something else in the serenitea pot like uh… water the plants! Yeah! Use all the time you need with Xiao.” Paimon swang her tiny body, encouraging her best friend, as she knew they both had problems when it comes to socializing.
“Thanks, Pie.” (nickname for Paimon)
Paimon cheered, winking one eye before disappearing into the thick night sky and smoke, leaving signs of stars behind her.
Now, Aether stood alone with his gift. Now where could Xiao be? This morning he promised to come back after his early demon patrols, but for some reason he can't hear him.
“Xiao?” His name left his lips.
He doesn't know what to expect, but it was definitely not silence.
“Xiao?” He called again, a frown forming between his brows.
Perhaps he was busy showering and couldn't? Yeah, no, it doesn't sound like Xiao. He knows better than that. He’d appear even if it meant naked, especially in front of Aether.
“Xiao!” Aether quickly grew worried.
Nothing.
The grip on the present, all though forgotten, now served as a stress tool that he could hold onto tightly. He began to run around the mansion, going from one room to another to another room to check. Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Then on the second floor second room, he heard a groan of a raspy Voice. Not out of pain, but more out of pleasure. It even caught him off guard.
Xiao wouldn't possibly…would he?
Aether leaned towards that door to listen in. He heard only that one raspy voice, so at least he doesn't have to worry about cheating.
He held the doorknob hesitantly, afraid to open. He could only hope it wasn't anything bad.
He pushed the door further, creating a bigger gap.
To his surprise, his eyes set on the bed, clearly someone muffling underneath the blanket and shuffling around. He could almost smell the scent of sweat.
“Xiao?” He called out one more time.
“Ss..stop… calling…” A raspy Voice talked through the blanket.
“What's going on, are you alright?” Aether naturally came closer, but to his surprise, another step caused another loud groan.
“Don't…! Don't— Mph, come any closer…”
“Okay, okay, just tell me what's going on. You worry me.”
Having no choice but to patiently wait, Aether stepped back to give Xiao some space. He wouldn't want to make the situation worse if Xiao was harmed the closer his presence was.
“I wanted to find you a gift but, ah- Yanxiao gave me this syrup that appeared to be aphrodisiac… I recklessly drank it, and now, mgh, it replaced my karmic debt with lust…”
Aether listened, eyes wide. Xiao went all his way to find him a gift for Valentines too, but instead drank this love potion of sorts.
“And you don't know how to control it.” Aether finished his sentence.
“...No, not yet. Talking to you is a risk in itself. Hearing your voice, seeing you, being close to you… I just want to…” Xiao muffled into the pillow, uncontrollably speaking words that he wouldn't speak even if he were drunk.
Aether stood by, his face turning red from the implications. Even speaking normally without slipping dirty thoughts is a feat for Xiao. This happened because of him. And frankly, the mighty traveler is flattered.
“I think I can help you. Well, I should. Had you not talked to Smiley Yanxiao, he would've never given you that poison.” He stepped closer, this time even more without fear.
“No, don't, Aether, don't, no need for—”
Xiao feels a shiver cold when the blanket off his naked body is pulled, revealing his shaky body full of slick and sweat. His thighs soaked in his own cum.
“—help…” He sighed in shame, but there was a tiny tint of happiness.
Aether felt a little hot too under his scarf, his eyes unable to turn away from the sight, his pants reflecting that clearly. That's usually how their bodies look after they have sex the whole night.
“How long have you been like this?” He asked, throwing the blanket away and leaving Xiao's hot body bare in the cold.
“Ngh, feels like days, an hour at most…” he wraps his hands around his arms, trying to hide the little dignity he has left, which of course, is none.
Aether doesn't wait a minute to pull off his gloves and scarf, giving him some air to breathe in. Then, he brushes his fingers against Xiao's belly gently.
As if triggered, the adeptus responds with force, grabbing the hand that once touched him so gently and led it to his chest, dragging Aether's body along to the bed.
Xiao's nipples were already swollen, Aether noted. He was already horribly distracted from Xiao's sweaty skin in general.
“Can you hear it?” Xiao pierced through his thoughts, breathing heavily.
Aether listened closely, his palm catching the rapid heartbeat. So fast he could barely comprehend the beat it was going for.
“This is my heart every time you come closer.” Xiao explained, his breath heavy. “This is what you do to me.”
Aether laid on top, continuing to listen. Then, a teasing smile formed on his face.
“You know, I can't hear it very well, let me just..”
His head leaned closer, pressing his lips against his chest, leaving cute kisses along Xiao's skin.
“Aaah!” Xiao shook, his body tensing immediately as his head pressed against the pillow.
“You're so sensitive, even the tiniest kiss makes you shout.” Aether chuckled before continuing his torture of showering Xiao with kisses. To his chest, nipples, collarbone, all the way to his neck, his hot breath warmed Xiao's body.
“You should've told me sooner instead of delaying it further. You knew I’d want to help.” Aether continued all while leaving kisses on the poor adeptus’ neck.
“You won't be enough.” Xiao warned. “If I start, I fear I won't be able to… mph.. stop...”
“I know. But I still want to help. Will you let me help you, Xiao?”
Aether raised his head for a moment, giving his adorable puppy eyes to Xiao while nuzzling on his chest. Xiao rubbed his thighs together.
“Fine.” He blushed red.
Xiao once again dragged the traveler wherever he wanted, pushing Aether onto the other side of the bed.
“Oof!” The blond huffed, unable to even take a breath before Xiao started ripping his clothes off for quicker access.
“Hey—! Don't you want to, you know, quickly prep or put a towel, kiss or even a condom-”
“You've tested my patience long enough, wasting time is exactly what I don't need right now.” Xiao pressed his index finger on Aether's dry lips, giving no chance to even finish his sentence.
Aether should've expected that by now, a horny adeptus means an impatiently needy and demanding partner. He's just never seen Xiao so… desperate. At least not in such an aggressive way. He's usually so cute when he moans and hides his face out of embarrassment to hide his tears of ecstasy, but now the tables are completely reversed.
By the time Aether finished his thought, his clothes were ripped apart. If he didn't know any better he'd think a wolf has entered this room.
Xiao remained determined, sitting on top without a word and easily clenching on Aether's cock in his Wet hole. Dry and with a hunch of pain, exactly what he wanted in that moment.
Aether let out a raspy grunt, still getting used to the amazing feeling of feeling Xiao's insides. It's already soft, wet, and prepared for him, like a restaurant meal he's been waiting for for months. Xiao seemed to share this idea, as his relaxed expression indicated nothing more but pleasure.
“Xiao, you feel… so good…” Aether swallowed, gently running his hands over Xiao's hips, which were shaking already.
Xiao stared intently, grinding his hips to get the feel of his good spot. It felt like he was doing all the work. After a couple of moments, he began to actually move, raising his hips and falling back down, a moan escaping his lips.
And again.
And again.
More, and more, faster and faster, again and again. Aether swore he could hear the bed creaking at least a little.
“X-Xiao, don't you think you're moving- ah- a little too fast?” Aether whined between tiny breaths, unable to keep up with Adeptus' speed.
All though it felt like Xiao didn't even hear him, stuck in his world of pleasure, continuing to moan mindlessly, when he once used to shut himself up. He kept hitting his insides, harder if he could.
Then he grabbed onto the headboard tightly, his claws digging into the hard wood, continuing to move and moan at the same time.
“If you want you can hold onto my…”
The wood broke.
“Hand…” Nevermind.
Aether just talked to himself at this point. Every time he glanced at Xiao, the adeptus appeared as if high on cloud 9, almost drooling.
Then something began to churn in Aether's stomach, a sign he was about to cum. His grip hardened, his body stiffened. He felt it, and he knew it was coming. Was it even worth warning Xiao?
Clearly not, as Xiao didn't seem to care. He felt it. They both did.
“Come on, come on!!” The adeptus demanded, grasping for anything he could hold onto to while he rides the most awaited cock of his life.
The seed sprouted in him, filling him up nicely, just perfectly like he wanted. Xiao gasps for air, and his head falls, hanging while he lets himself cool down. Aether followed, his hands on Xiao's hips relaxing as well, yet leaving tiny marks.
After merely a minute passing, one that Aether did not regain his energy from, Xiao's eyes set on him like prey.
“Again.” It wasn't a question, but an order.
“So quickly? Give me two minutes at least— oh!” Aether didn't even get to finish his sentence when Xiao dragged him into a sloppy kiss. Xiao isn't as good at kissing, so it was a nice surprise when he opened his mouth and drank Aether's saliva in, their tongues wrapping around each other as they couldn't let go.
Even if their lips parted for even a moment, Xiao would go for more, breathing Aether in with intense passion. He swallowed, and showered his neck with kisses to match his scent.
Wrapping their hands around each other, Xiao sat back on his perfect cock, a puzzle piece that fit perfectly inside as if it belonged there.
“This is going to be a long night.” Aether murmured, sitting back down on the bed and getting comfortable.
…
So hard.
Aether's thrusts were always so hard. So violent. So rough and yet with so much passionate love put into it.
The bed was already creaking on its own, and the sheets have long been stained with sweat and other fluids.
Xiao grunted like a raspy dog at every pound, his tight hole filled with Aether. Their bodies fit like puzzle pieces, aether was just the right size, and Xiao was tight enough not to get painful.
Sounds of continued “ahs’” left the yakshas drooling lips, his eyes disoriented and hair glued to his forehead. He has long been drained of energy, and yet Aether had so much more emotion to let out even the conqueror of demons couldn't keep up.
Aether thrusted in and out like there was no tomorrow, not wasting a single second to pump xiao full of his seed. How long have they been doing this for? Hours for sure.
The blond huffed and puffed deeply, until he heard drunk like giggles.
He curiously looked down, only to see his dear Xiao smiling like an idiot, completely out of his mind.
“Did you drink alcohol before coming to Yanxiao?” He asked, pausing to let one breathe.
“N-No— And don't you dare stop. I want you.” The other demanded, his voice carrying no sense of seriousness or anger. He just wanted Aether to keep pumping him full.
“Want more eh? Never thought I’d see the mighty conqueror of demons smiling from being fucked stupid.” Aether laughed to himself, holding Xiao's hips and resuming the rapid thrusts.
The yaksha melted, giggling further at the burning feeling of his insides being abused once more. This need of fullness, to never let this end. He can tell why humans are so addicted to this. It feels so good he began to cry tears of joy.
“I love it, I don't want this to ever stop. I want your cock inside me at all times, I need you to use me every day, I-”
“You're talking sweet nonsense, Xiao.”
Aether immediately pulled out, forcing a sad whine from the dazed yaksha. His hole remained just as wet and gaped as before, keeping it empty for no reason.
“I can't believe I'm saying this but,” the blond started, climbing through the sheets until he landed his weight on Xiao's chest, pressing his filthy cock on his mouth “you really need to shut up.”
Xiao stared at the creature in his mouth for barely a second before swallowing it like a delicious meal. Once the tip was inside, Aether moved all the way in, choking his lover with his fullness with light amusement.
To his surprise, Xiao indulged in it, tasting the length with his tongue and throat, even if he couldn't breathe at all. His hands clawed at the blonds’ thighs, while he moved his own in various ways to get some sort of release.
Aether noticed how touch starved Xiao was, but not to this extent. Drunk, mindless, talking nonsense he wouldn't utter in time or place.
The blond huffed heavily, feeling his own release come soon. Xiaos tongue has never moved so well, he was practically willingly choking himself to fill his throat.
“So cute.”
Aether giggled. He can't remember the last time Xiao acted anything like this. All though it's expected at this point, he keeps leaving so frequently Xiao has nobody to fuck him to stupidity.
Aether felt a tap on his thigh, signaling him for something. When he woke up from his thoughts, Xiao was signaling him that he was about to cum.
“Your throat is so warm and tight for me I don't want to stop. You'll swallow for me, right?” He teased, bringing a hand to ruffle Xiao's already sweaty hair.
Then he rammed into him, moving his hips to fuckface Xiao, landing in the deepest pits of his nice throat. Xiao muffly screamed, unwillfully gagging at the roughness of Aether's thrust. The blond felt merciless tonight, but he loved it.
His throat hurt, his grip only continued to claw Aether's skin, leaving bloody marks over his thighs. Yet he never pushed or pulled away, not once upon hours they were intimate to each other. His whole stomach hurt, it felt like energy was running through his whole body and he couldn't control it, only waiting to get rid of it.
“Xiao- I— For the love of Teyvat, I'm gonna—” a sound of a spurt exited the two of them as the blond pressed himself against Xiao, who felt tasty sweet liquid shoot inside his mouth. This was the moment he broke, shooting his seed on the already sweaty mattress.
Uncaring, he swallowed Aether, licking anything that was left. Then, as the blonds grip on his hair loosened, Aether slowly grinded himself away back on Xiao's belly, watching as his lover gags with his mouth closed.
“You alright? Don't swallow if you don't wanna—?” Aether worries out of breath.
Xiao shakes his head, but then opens his mouth to reveal he kept a bit of Aether's cum in his mouth, keeping it lying there on his wet tongue. Then, he closed his mouth, squeezed his eyes and swallowed, making sure Aether saw this scene.
Aether eyes widened as he grew hard by the scene itself, still remembering that fresh scene in his mind. Xiao's tongue, and his seed on top. Just the thought of Xiao, the conqueror of demons, the all mighty adeptus and last Yaksha, his own lover, would ever even do that to him.
But then he realized this will never be enough. Fucking with that same adeptus while he's gone mad with lust is dangerously hot. He alone won't be able to take him if two hours of mere gut wrenching thrusts didn't do anything. He will never be enough for Xiao to recover.
“Say, Xiao, do you have any of that syrup left?” He grinned, tilting his head in curiosity.
Anything that wasn't about sex had to be processed in Xiao's infected brain. He couldn't think straight. He didn't ask if it was safe, even the blond was surprised. Nothing about the duty of protection. He just laid down, taking deep breaths slowly.
“In the drawer.” he answered bluntly.
“Give me a second.” Aether sat back, but Xiao grabbed his arm.
“It's not over.” He tightly held his arm, not allowing for Aether to leave him hard and desperate.
“I'm not leaving, Xiao,” Aether giggled innocently, holding Xiao's hand tightly.
Aether then reached out his hand in the drawer, finding the syrup sitting still along with tons of used old condoms and its ripped pieces.
He wrapped his fingers around the syrup, holding it tightly and spinning it lightly, watching the bubbles pop in the bright pink liquid.
Opening the lid, he glanced at Xiao, who laid back without a care in the world. Completely dazed with love, Uncaring about anything but sex.
Staring at the bottle again, he raised the tip to his mouth and finished drinking it all, gulping the last remaining drops in it.
At first, there was no reaction, just a sweet taste in his mouth that he enjoyed. He licked his lips, waiting for the moment to come.
“What are you wasting time for?” Xiao stubbornly furrowed, waiting for their pleasure to resume.
“Be patient.” The blond huffed, rolling his eyes at the impatience.
One minute, then two, nothing.
And then, something dug into his stomach, a strange feeling he was anticipating. It hurt, it's like he wanted to get rid of something inside him. Never ending cum.
Then, his brain felt it too. His world became pink, Xiao lying on the bed all naked and still sweaty, his mind commanded to take control and fill him over and over.
He gasped, taking deep breaths. The star on his chest and limbs became pink as well, it's like he became lust itself.
He pushed Xiao against the bed hard and pinned him there. Even the adeptus felt surprised.
“Was this what you were waiting for? For me to fuck you stupid?”
By such a sight of Aether, Xiao grew incredibly hard. Gone is the nice and gentle traveler, the one who saved all nations. Now it's Aether, the man who nobody except him really knows about.
“Perhaps.” Xiao demanded.
His lover pressed himself against the adeptus' body, kissing him sloppily, drinking him in and gently running his hands over.
Xiao shivered when Aether's fingers touched his pussy, because despite waiting for it, he was still sensitive to it. Makes it hotter.
Aether was good with his fingers, curling them inside it and wiggling them around in places, he spared no mercy, just thrusting them over and over in a pace Xiao didn't experience before.
Xiao wrapped his arms around Aether and pulled him close, wanting to feel his scent, the sweat and the warmth. Everything around him felt amazing, he couldn't help but groan in pleasure.
Aether quickly quit fingering him, and spread Xiao's legs to get his entrance, sparing no time to push in.
The adeptus yelped in pain, getting used to this new feeling of his body change, especially such a drastic one. He shivered, yet didn't even think of the safe word.
When it began. The harshness Aether was going at was abusing his womb, his insides torn apart by the blond. It was nothing like the previous rounds.
“Oh, Lord–” Xiao murmured between his moans, unable to even control himself. The pace was fast and the thrusts reached his deepest guts.
“Are you enjoying this?” The blond asked, keeping his hands on the sides as he continued to move nonstop. He didn't care he was losing breath, he didn't care about anything else.
“Heavens yes!” Xiao replied. He swore he could feel something gurgling in his stomach, he swore he could cry out of happiness. It felt so satisfying. Exactly what he was looking for, exactly what he needed this whole time.
“Then I'll make sure this will never end.” He whispered in return, just as heavy and tired, yet still wrapped his arms around Xiao to keep him at bay.
Even if Xiao was drugged by that stupid syrup, could think of nothing and nobody but sex, there was a heartbeat that told him he let the right man fuck him.
He knew Aether felt that too.
…
As hours passed by and As the blond continued to pound into him like an animal, the yaksha could relax on the bed, doing nothing but take the harsh thrusts. He lied on his side, holding onto the pillow, tired from everything.
Far too many ripped condoms flew by, most of them lying on the floor and some still on the bed. The bedsheets were stained, not even a single bit of it remained clean. The lube was empty, and the bed creaked on every movement.
The need to fuck was becoming less and less important. Both of them wanted rest, Xiao more than the other.
As Xiao lied in bed, his eyes slowly started to betray him, his body turning too weak to ride Aether one more time.
He blinked once then twice and once the third blink hit, he began to snore. Unfitting of such an adeptus.
“Eh?” The traveler woke up, pausing at pounding his lover. His hair was tied in a bun to not get in the way, but it stuck to his wet skin.
He noticed the adeptus snoring, and checked for his pulse. It couldn't be that Xiao died out of love. Fortunately not, he was just soundly sleeping.
“Ugh…I still wanna cum in him… One more round won't hurt.” The blond shrugged, held onto the sides of his legs and continued to thrust, just a bit more gently.
…
Sunlight streamed through the curtains, and an uncomfortable feeling of pain hit Xiao's body. He groaned at the ache, it felt like it was coming from everywhere. His buttocks, his neck, his wrists, even his lips.
He tried to sit up, and felt a sharp pain in his legs. He yelped out of annoyance. Where did those marks possibly come from?
Both confusion and a bit of fear entered him, and he began to look around for clues.
Dozens of ripped condom packages, followed by just as many used ones on the counter, broken glass heart shaped vial on the ground. Xiao felt a shiver run down his spine.
Then a loud snore woke him up, when he realized Aether was lying beside him, with bites and claw marks similar to an animal.
Xiao, even if he was still tired and most of his limbs ached, decided to look at his body. He held onto the edge of the blanket and slipped it up, checking for anything.
The mountains of bites and marks left him speechless, pulling down the blanket almost immediately.
“What on Teyvat happened?”
He turned his head to the side, noticing a box and a souvenir on the night stand, a shine extracting from the morning light, blinding his eye.
Ah, now he remembered. He drank the mysterious drink as a surprise gift for valentines, clueless to the side effects to his body. This was his ‘gift’ and here, a much simpler yet sweet lying on his night stand was Aether's.
The night, oh heavens, the night he won't ever forget. One of the most passionate and yet rough nights he ever felt. With so much care, emotion and passion, even if it destroyed his insides.
Yet how did Aether have enough strength to keep him satisfied? Xiao's cheeks rose a dark red. Either Traveler has the stamina of gods or…
Despite being even more curious about the events of last night now., there still was a headache he was dying from and the exhaustion he felt through his body. He should rest if he wants those marks to be gone by the next day.
Ugh, just by thinking made even his brain hurt. He cannot allow himself to get out of bed and continue performing his duties in this state, unless he wants to become a bigger burden.
Xiao slipped back into the dirty sheets and into Aether's arms easily, who was still snoring loudly in peace, uncaring for what's going on around him. Someone could slap him, and he’d go right back to sleep. He didn't mind.
Pressing his head against the blond’s chest, Xiao could hear the heartbeat, slow but consistent.
Before he knew it, he fell right back to sleeping, quietly snoring to himself as he held tightly onto his lover.
“Happy Valentine's day, Aether.” He whispered quietly, kissing Aether's collarbone.
