Ten: Get your Alpha to Buy you Things

Many Alphas enjoy providing for their Omega. Whether you like being pampered, or are more of an independent spirit, showing your Alpha you appreciate their gifts is a great way to strengthen your bond.

Go out and about. It doesn't necessarily have to be a date! Find something you like. If your Alpha is perceptive, they may go ahead and buy it for you. If they are a little on the denser side, there's nothing wrong with clearly stating you want something.

Be sure to thank them when you receive the gift! Not giving thanks is not only rude, but could affect your relationship negatively. Don't risk it! Even if you don't like the gift, still say thanks!

Childe scratched his head. Zhongli never had any Mora on him. How could he possibly get Zhongli to buy him something? Last time Zhongli got him a gift, he had to pay for it himself. A pair of decorative chopsticks, he remembered. For Zhongli to get him chopsticks when he barely knew how to use them...he must have been making fun of him!

This time, though, he'd make sure Zhongli wouldn't get any joke gifts!

...what would he even get though?

He looked around his apartment. It was bare, to put it mildly. Nothing on the walls. Nothing on any tables. A futon on the ground of his room. It was a stark contrast from Zhongli's knickknack infested home.

He shrugged, and went to ask Zhongli if he was busy today.

He walked up to his door, took a deep breath to psych himself up, and knocked on the door.

He heard rummaging around until Zhongli finally opened the door.

"Hmm?" Zhongli hummed, half asleep, then broke into a big, warm smile. "Good morning, Childe. It's wonderful to see you."

"Yeah, nice to see you too," Childe said, looking away and blushing a little. "I was thinking-"

"Please, come in," Zhongli invited, opening his door further and revealing his disheveled, just-got-up look.

His hair was down, messy but still well taken care of. He wore a loose button up shirt that let his abs peek through the unbuttoned sections, and his boxer shorts strained against his divine ass and massive Alpha cock. It was a wonder it hadn't ripped in half yet. Childe felt his heart thump in his chest at this display. It was simply too erotic for his poor brain to handle!

Childe walked in, stiff as a board, and sat down in Zhongli's living room.

"Excuse me while I get dressed," Zhongli said, and went to his room.

Imagining Zhongli naked made Childe's heart thump again. His instincts were going into overdrive.

"Childe? Your scent is quite thick today," Zhongli called from his room.

"I'm not in pre-heat! You pervert!" Childe squeaked out. He took deep breaths to try control his instincts and libido.

"I'm simply concerned about your health. Your last heat seemed especially painful." Zhongli walked out of his room in his usual attire.

"It's always painful. Nothing I can't handle," Childe dismissed with a hand wave. "It's painful for everyone, isn't it?"

"...I can't say for certain, but I would assume not. An Omega's heat is when they reach a point of peak fertility, once per every two to three months if their cycle is regular-"

"Anyway! I'm not here to discuss Omega biology with you. I was wondering..."

"Wondering...?"

Childe thought about how he'd ask to go shopping with Zhongli. He couldn't come across as too desperate! He still had pride to maintain!
