"I've been expecting you."

Smiling widely with a cheeky expression, he welcomes your presence into his large mansion and ushers you through his extensive corridors.
You couldn't help but gaze in awe at the many authentic and expensive decorations that laid around the interior. From original paintings to glass china, there wasn't any space on the wall left untouched and bare. Even the walls, flooring, and ceiling glittered with radiance and grandness, and there wasn't a single spot that was a mess. Not to mention, how spacious the rooms and hallways were, with enough room for several people to pass through at once.
You didn't realize how distracted you were by your surroundings until you felt the touch of his hand on your shoulder, startling you slightly.

"Impressive, isn't it?" He asked, though you could clearly see his pride and ego shoot over the roof through those beaming eyes of his.
You nodded. "It really is, Childe."
"You can stare all you want later. Why don't we have a seat in the living room, now?"
Without letting you say another word, he guides you through another corridor into an even larger room. There were a couple red couches and loveseats, made with only the finest fabric. A large wooden coffee table sat in the middle with a vase of glaze lilies, and the windows from each side of the room allowed for the radiant sunlight to bleed into the room and create a warming ambience. To top it off, a large chandelier hung above the main display, sparkling with clear rhinestones and gold.

"Wow," you muttered, "I knew your house was definitely not ordinary, but I didn't expect it'd be anything like this."
He lets out his charming laugh in response to your comment. "I appreciate the compliment. Have a seat, make yourself at home. I'll be right back."
He releases his grip from your shoulder to subtly push you to the furniture, and you complied without hesitation. Making yourself comfortable in one of the grand couches, you sat and waited for him to come back.

You're finally in the house. The house where your attractive neighbor resided.
And it was only the two of you alone, in this spacious home without restrictions.
The thought of being alone with him.. the possibilities of what could happen in this very space..
Multiple scenarios played in your head, each of them making you feel flustered and embarrassed at the thought of them becoming a reality. How attractive and alluring he would be in every one of them, and the raging emotions he makes you feel every time he looks at you with those addictive blue eyes, every time he makes a move on you.

His echoing footsteps on the wooden flooring woke you out of your fantasies, snapping you back to the reality. Shaking your head and recomposing yourself, you patiently awaited for that sweet playful voice to sooth your ears.

"Sorry for the wait. Missed me, my dear guest?" He says, finally entering the room and taking a seat to your right.
Ah, how intentionally flirtatious he was as always. Any more words from that pretty mouth, and you swore you were going to act on your feelings.
However, you continued to suppress your emotions, and kept your cool as he continued to make conversation with you.

"So," he initiates, "what do you think about my place? First impressions?"
"Ah," you started, "It's certainly lovely and impressive, Childe. I can't help but be amazed at the effort and money that must've gone into it.."
Once again displaying that proud expression, he smirks and allows himself to let his ego get the best of him. "Of course, you already know that I only strive to live life to the fullest, and that includes owning such a place like this."

You nod, but as he continued to ramble about his achievements and stories, your eyes were only attached to the slight slip of his red shirt revealing his attractive bodily complex.
Although it was only his abs and his stomach being displayed out in the open, the way his pale skin glowed by the rays of sunlight reflecting off and how impressively sculpted his body was, it was hard for your attention to revert back to his endless words, only inaudible fuzziness could be heard instead. You continued to stay quiet, only focusing on his physical features and not listening to a word he let out.

"My eyes are up here, you know." he stated in a slightly louder and bolder tone.
You looked back into his eyes again, but now the smirk which he gave was lustful and teasing. His eyes lowered to look at you in a yearning gaze, and his expression altogether was enough to stir up even more excitement in your head.

And now, you knew the storm inside couldn't be controlled any longer. You had to make a move.

"Sorry," you began, "the house is certainly attractive, but I couldn't help to admire the owner as well."
"Ohoho, you're quite the bold one making such a remark." Although he didn't show it, he was clearly aroused by your words as indicated by the change in his tone. Becoming much more flirtatious and excited than upon welcoming you into his household, he inches closer to you, closing the space between yourselves to where you could feel the touch of his thigh against yours.

Suddenly, he edges the collar of his shirt with his fingers and pulls it away to reveal his detailed collarbones and neckline, his skin still glowing with the warmness of the sun's rays. His sudden flaunting of his body definitely stirred a reaction from you, and you couldn't help but stare at his attractive features as he teasingly pulls the cloth further and further away, almost slipping off his shoulder completely.
Out of instinct, you inched your hand to reach for his skin, wanting to feel his warm touch against your own. But he stops your movements with his other hand, holding your wrist firmly in midair as he continued to look into your eyes with that playful look.

"Not so fast," he teases, "we've barely just made our first formal meeting at my place, and you're already making moves on your neighbor?"
Without shame, you quickly replied, "I've had my eyes on you for a long time, pretty boy."
You could sense his ego rile up inside, his smile expanding and his eyes falling to look at your lips, yearning to plant his own on yours. He inches his face closer, your noses only a couple inches from touching completely.

"I see how it is then," he plays, "straight to the point, aren't we?" He grazes his firm hand on your face, tracing down from your cheek to your chin to hold it between his fingers. His thumb pushes your bottom lip slightly to allow your lips to part, and all you could do was look into those eyes and wanted to feel his warm touch on your skin.
"Why don't you hurry up then?" you teased back, "I may just get bored of you quickly enough if you leave me hanging."

Taken aback by your confident remarks, he could only subtly laugh again and became even more heated in the moment.
He was deeply amused at your wordplay and just how quickly you were able to mess with his heartstrings. No other words were needed to continue pushing his buttons to the limit.

He holds your hand tightly and clasps his fingers around yours, clearly indicating that he wasn't planning on letting you out of his sight anytime soon.

"You really know how to make someone go crazy for you, don't you?"
