Teyvat's Academy of Vision-Holders I (Ittorou Edition)

Chapter 6 - The Court Jester

Gorou's POV

     The lack of warmth made me panic. Not to say the pups weren't warm, but their warmth was entirely different. Only once the smell of sausage filled my nose did I relax and pad into the main room.

     He was shirtless in the maid apron, hair tied up in a messy bun as he yawned and plated food. Long scratches were stretched over his back, several bites and hickeys over the rest of him - even the memory of how they came to be there made me blush bright red. Xiao was laid on the couch in his oversized hoodie and shorts combo, playing on his phone and only pausing when I made my way across the living area.

     "Oh, hello there. How're you feeling?"

     "I'm sorry..."

     "For what?" I nuzzled his back a little, tightening my arms around his waist. "Oh, that? Puppy, why would I care? You know my stance on marks."

     "Yeah, but still..."

     "Don't apologize for no reason, silly." He turned in my arms and kissed the top of my head, nosing through my hair when I hid in his chest. "You know, you could probably wear that sweater over your uniform."

     "...It doesn't smell like you right now."

     "So my scent's what calms you down?"

     "No. Shut up." He laughed, shaking his body and bouncing the noise in his chest, even as his arms settled around me.

     "Alright, sure. I can wear it until lunch for you."

     "...Yes please."

     "Gay."

     "Shut up Little Bird." He snickered on his way to his room. I didn't get a chance to squeak when Itto picked me up and sat me on the counter, nuzzling the crook of my neck with a grin at my whimper. "I-Itto..."

     "I'd be kissing you so hard right now if we wouldn't get caught."

     "You care if they see?"

     "No, but I don't want them getting the wrong idea." There was something in his voice I couldn't identify, so instead, I pulled his face up for a proper kiss - only for it to evolve into frenching a moment later, hands in his hair and legs around his waist just for an anchor. "You're intoxicating, Puppy~"

     "Don't get addicted, Darling~"

     "Too late~" Hickeys appeared over my neck at a steady rate - his favorite spot seemed to be right against the underside of my jaw, probably because he could feel my heart pounding every time he returned to the spot. He only stopped once Kokomi cleared her throat and we practically flew apart, both bright red.

     "What was that about?"

     "Seems Little Pup has a boyfriend~" Kujou Sara cooed, an arm tugging Kokomi's waist closer. A massive t-shirt was draped over her small frame, shorts hidden by the tengu's shirt, who was only in shorts and a sports bra.

     "See?"

     "W-We're not dating! Yes, you were right - get that smug look off of your face!" He didn't, smirking as he finished up some hashbrowns. "Anyway, no, I don't have a boyfriend."

     "So you were eating each other's faces for fun?"

     "...Yes."

     "Hm. Arataki, c'mere for a second, would ya?" The look in her eyes was terrifying, a mix between amusement and pride. He took the apron off and passed it to me as he followed her, ignoring the very obvious bite around his nipple as they disappeared into her room. Kokomi drifted over as I started cleaning up the dishes and stuff, a smug grin on her face when I finally hid in her neck to pout.
