even  if  it’s  just  once,  i’ll  treasure  this  moment.  i  bet  you’re  going  to  look  so  pretty  n  perfect  in  it—  like  you  always  are.  mm..  the  /least/  but  certainly  not  the  last  thing,  darling. 

aw,  really?  good  boy.  me,  making  things  embarrassing?  why,  i’d  never!  ..  if  you  don’t  tempt  me  to—  but  it  sounds  rather  tempting,  i  wont  lie.  

you  said  you’d  do  anything  to  repay  me,  did  you  not?  i  do  think  you’d  look  quite  cute  in  a  maid  outfit.  however,  i’m  not  going  to  force  you—  i’m  not  some  sort  of  monster. 

ah,  right,  sorry  let  me  be  louder.  how  do  you  feel  about  wearing  a  maid  outfit  for  me,  hm?  that’s  part  of  the  payment  i’d  like.  

i’m  sure  you  do,,  and  it’s  appreciated,  but  i  need  more  than  just  an  apology,  i’m  afraid.  say,  how  do  you  feel  about  wearing  a  maid  outfit? 

really?  wow,  i  wouldn’t  have  guessed.  a  retired  god,  not  having  time  for  a  movie?  (  he  cocked  a  brow  as  he  teased  the  man,  grabbing  another  handful  of  popcorn  before  subtly  scooting  slightly  closer.  as  he  had  been  about  to  let  out  another  teasing  remark,  he  jumped  slightly  at  a  jumpscare  on  the  screen,  eyes  widening  momentarily.  though,  he  played  it  off  as  reaching  an  arm  across  the  other’s  shoulder,  pulling  him  closer.  )  see,  you’re  right!  ..  don’t  worry,  i’ll  protect  ya,  li!  

right,  i’ll  decide  if  i  want  to  accept  your  apology  later,  deal?  maybe  there’s  another  way  for  you  to  really  show  how  sorry  you  are,  i’m  sure.  why  don’t  you  come  by  my  place  for  the  date?  it’ll  be  a  surprise  on  where  we  go. 

it  was  a  big  deal  to  me.  if  it’s  not  that  big,  just  do  this  for  me  then,  yeah?  and  then  i’ll  leave  you  alone.  but  i  believe  that  you  /do/  owe  me—  and  not  just  with  mora.  

listen,  you  never  know  when  it  might  scare  ya!  (  he  shrugged,  watching  with  amused  blue  hues  as  zhongli  grabbed  at  the  popcorn.  humming,  he  reached  a  hand  down  and  got  some  too,  ‘accidentally’  grazing  his  hand  against  the  other’s.  )  is  it  good?  you  seem  to  be  enjoying  the  popcorn.  (  he  noted,  snickering  at  how  into  the  popcorn  zhongli  seemed.  )  

(  seeing  the  brunette  walk  back  into  the  room,  the  ginger  grinned  before  starting  the  movie  and  resting  both  hands  behind  his  head,  staring  down  at  the  bowl  in  his  lap.  glancing  over  at  the  other  man,  he  cleared  his  throat.  )  okay!  but  y’know,  if  you  DOOO  get  scared,  you  can  hang  onto  me.  i’ll  protect  you!
