Ajax woke up an hour later, after he heard an insistent knocking at the front of Morax's abode.
He initially sought to ignore it, as he felt the lazy afternoon take a hold of him, and the calling of slumber lure him in.
However, as the knocking became harder, louder, and ultimately difficult to ignore, he decided that he would not be in his half-dazed state for much longer.
He groaned, not wanting to wake up as he gripped at Morax in his arms tightly, wanting to relish the warmth from the man's body.
Even if he was cold blooded (although, Morax had said that he was not cold blooded but in fact required a bit more time to warm up), when he warmed up, he felt like his own personal heater.
Like a warm fireplace, that crackled and sparked every now and then, giving way to magic and wonderment and sweet, sweet warmth.
The warmth of Morax's body was tempting, and if he knew that it would be a day off...he would certainly not open it....he knew that he had to.
He sighed, yawning before he blinked his eyes open until things were no longer blurry around him.
Ajax gingerly removed his hands, which were around Morax, and huffed a laugh when he felt Morax grip at his own waist tightly.
As if the God also did not want to let go of Ajax in the sleepy state he was in.
He paused and admired the way Morax looked so beautiful while sleeping, his tan skin giving way to a beautiful glow in the small bit of light that seeped through the cracks of his domain entrance.
And the way he looked so peaceful and calm, reminding Ajax of the man he would become in a few hundred years. A man who could effortlessly charm all of the aunties and uncles with his wit, intelligence and decadence.
Heaven knows how much Ajax had heard the aunties down by the streets of Liyue gush and talk endlessly about how much of a gentleman Zhongli was, and how much they all wanted him either for themselves or for their daughters.
He was truly a prize catch, and Ajax was delighted (and pleased) at having caught the attention of such an esteemed and desired man.
Such a sought after beauty, that was kind but ultimately indifferent towards others advances, but not Ajax's.
He had managed to catch the God's attention....how....he didn't know.
Actually, now that he thought about it, he truly never asked Zhongli when Ajax had managed to catch his attention.
Was it when they first met?
Was it during one of their lunch dates?
Was it down by the beaches of Liyue?
Was it inside of his apartment?
Just another question to be added to the long list to ask the man, once he saw him again.
A long list that he added onto every day, more mysteries than answers, more things that he itched to have answered.
But, he would have to be patient....even if it went against his own nature to do so.
He sighed as he looked back at Morax, studying every single slope and curve of his face, admiring how beautiful it was, and how Ajax had never seen such a fine specimen as Morax.
Sure, he had seen some physically beautiful people in his lifetime.
People that caused everyone to gawk and stare at their exquisite beauty, however, even then, Childe had never seen them as anything but just another pedestrian.
