"Tell me, are you driving yourself home today?" Zhongli asked Childe.

"Probably so. I asked Katherine to come by around this time when the park closed. After all, I didn't want her to drive out here so late, but now that I think about it, I think I would've enjoyed some extra time with you while I waited for my ride to get here. "

Zhongli and Childe were holding hands as they headed towards the exit gates leading out of the park. In all honesty, neither one of them was in no hurry. In fact, the park had began to clear out almost an hour ago, but the two actors were too busy being lovey-dovey, holding hands, enjoying the growing silence of what was recently filled with fireworks and noise. Now it was a simply peaceful, almost like their own little carnival, and since nobody was really around besides the employees cleaning up, Zhongli and Childe didn't bother covering up their faces, which made their private time more like a normal date.

And seeing their faces made the other feel happy. Particularly Childe, whom had been admiring the other's features whenever Zhongli would go on on some one-sided chat about this or that. And while most would find it boring, Childe found it fascinating. The bits he actually listened to when he wasn't distracted staring.

But Zhongli wasn't talking right now anymore. In fact, he seemed a bit in thought. Childe was about to ask what was wrong, but Zhongli already spoke up.

"Would you.." he held his hand to his mouth, covering the slight pink appearing in his cheeks. "..perhaps be interested in spending the night with me, Childe?" Zhongli asked quietly, keeping his gaze to the side, away from the ginger. Which, if he looked, he probably would've noticed the blush on Childe's face. Mostly, because that sort of question pretty much had an underlying tone in it.

Swallowing, Childe squeezed Zhongli's hand. He felt his heart start to race with excitment.

"Where to, Sensei?"

Zhongli glanced back at him. Then looked ahead.

"I know a hotel nearby."

*  THUD *

That was the sound of Zhongli pinning his partner against the wall of the elevator as soon as they entered it. To say two men asking for a room this late in the evening startled the receptionist, most of the nicest love hotels here in Japan don't always allow same-sex couples inside them, so they found a regular nearby hotel to stay at for tonight.

And it seemed as soon as they were out of sight, moves were being played. Ones by Zhongli as he pressed his lips onto Childe's, initiating a sudden, rough, and passionate kiss between the two.

"I've done some practice." Zhongli whispered, leaning back, his eyes half-lidded as so were Childe's pale blue ones that dazed up at the other. "I wanted to be my best for you next time." He confessed and Childe's ears turned red, but the ginger still cracked a slight smile of amusment.

"So you've practiced kissing?~ My, that's quite out of character.." he hummed and Zhongli frowned.

"You make it sound odd. I've done research on these sort of things.." He explained, putting his hand on the other's cheek and pressing their foreheads together, and Childe kissed him quickly, their lips embracing again.
