bathe

His bathroom was shiny and clean, the floor was made of wood, and beside the sink was a glass wall containing indoor plants for design.

The bathtub was filled with foam and bubbles, and scented candles lit up every corner of the bathroom as if he was summoning you.

He sat on the bathtub, just beside the shower shirtless. He had scars on his shoulders, assumingly from his Heroic works at night.

You agreed to take a bath with him, why? You wanted to. You didn't want to decline at the least.

He was leaning back, letting the mist of the bath make his skin moist and sticky, his biceps could be seen resting on the sides of the tubs with his eyes focused on you.

you wore a robe, specifically for the guests, and you signaled the boy to look away while you got into the same bathtub.

you slid off the robe and threw it at a nearby aisle, immediately sitting on the opposite of where he was, he turned around, red flushed his cheeks, and his ponytail was now broken down into his own hairstyle, the tips of it red.

"Won't this consume more water?" you awkwardly asked, looking at the bubbles. "It doesn't matter, i'm rich." you rolled your eyes, the water was warm with a nice scent, assumingly his body soap. the two of you shared silence, you grabbed a nearby loofa without standing up and more of his soap. 

You started scrubbing your body, you could feel his eyes roaming around you while you washed yourself with no struggle-- not until you tried to clean your back. "If you needed help, you could've just asked me." he pushed himself forward, forcefully turning you around and grabbing the loofa from your hand.

the slightly rough cloth scrubbed on your back with his scented soap, you blushed slightly at the feeling of his hands holding onto your waist to make you stay in place, and the fact that you'll smell like him the next morning.

Everything made you feel calm but tensed up, echoes of your pants and breaths filled the room, the orange light of the candles mixed with the blush on your face. it was silent. Not until he gripped your waist a little too tight that it tickled, You gasped and panicked, your foot accidentally caught up into a metal chain that connected at the pit of the bathtub.

Shit. Diluc thought.

Shit indeed. 

The two of you were speechless enough to not react, the water started slowly coming down while you tried to find the plug, though it was no use. You were still turned around, attempting to find the plug, the water sunk like a tornado already with the level of your waist.

you only saw the plug once all the water disappeared, you were wet. wet wet. To the fact you just wish you could melt or vaporize away right there. While Diluc was behind you, silent and stunned. 

You felt arms wrap around your waist, his knees pressed up against your back protecting his abdomen, his wet hair dripped like a red waterfall in his scarred arms, the dry part of his hair was pressed on your now moist back, sending chills up your spine with his hot breath trailing behind your neck.

The rain was heavy outside, the bath was now cold and spacious with only the two of you right there, And there he was, caressing your waist. "It's okay." He reassured you, you pouted, hiding your face. He whispered in your ear, kissing the back of your neck to your shoulders.

You knew you wanted it, you just didn't want to give in. You didn't know how to react if you were naked in front of your childhood sweetheart-- let alone a man you've countlessly made out with ever since you came back to Mondstadt. 

You felt overwhelmed, anxiety crawled around your body, and the skin in your arms started to feel cold making it chicken skin-like. and you knew Diluc noticed it. 

His bare hands caressed it, tickling your arms slightly, it was the type to make you feel sensitive or something that reassured you. You knew what this would lead to, you were sure you wanted him. But why were you so ashamed?

Any time right now, the Fatui and the abyss could be victimizing the citizens of Mondstadt, while you were going to be here, losing your virginity. living like the world was at peace, alone with Diluc Ragnvindr. It sounded nice.

"Relax, [y/n]. I'll take care of you." he kissed the back of your head like it was a promise, he placed wet kisses on your back like he was claiming you, making you smell like him, marking you as his.

But even if he didn't claim you, you were sure you were already reserved for him the day you met him in the Vineyard. 

That night, it felt painful for you yet pleasing, he knew how to calm you down, how to be gentle with you. he kissed you after oral, and he didn't care, as long as it was your lips. He brushed your face, caressing it now and then. 

Whispering and saying out loud how much he loved you, he wasn't scared to let anyone know how weak he went for you. You shed tears the same night Like he opened the bottled emotions inside you ever since you left.
