[ Okay, that's a little weird for Childe. He's wondering if maybe the torture wasn't more psychological than physical - and maybe he'd been forced to be alone. He's experienced things like that, after all ]
You've made my days brighter, ever since I met you.
[ that spurs a couple of feels he hadn't been expecting but he lets the overwhelming surge of jealousy crush them underfoot for the time being. ] I might them real bright, blinding some might say.
...something like that. I drank a little in the house. [ scrapes his fangs along five's neck. ] We can talk while I ravage you. I want everybody else to know that you... and me... [ he knows he should show some restraint, but he kisses him, setting a hand to his chest and pressing hard. ] I like you a lot, sensei. A whole lot.
[ Well, he's the one who asked for a kiss, but he certainly didn't expect it like this and even for Childe this kind of behavior is odd. He brings his hands to his shoulder, like he's about to push him away even if he doesn't in the end, partly because him pressing hard against him like that wasn't expected ]
I don't think it's a good idea, you're not thinking clearly and I haven't taken a potion.
...Emet-Selch is lucky. [ he keeps raking his teeth over his neck. ] I want to bite you so bad, sensei. [ instead he hums against his skin, shutting his eyes and huffing out a hot breath. ] You don't need to take a potion. We don't have to go *that* far. I just want you to know that I really like you. I'd go as far as to say you're my second favorite person here, behind Zhongli Xiansheng, unsurprisingly.
I didn’t mean to upset you, sensei. I’ll make it up to you. [ drops a kiss on his neck, lips pulling into a smile. ] How about I just tell you that I’ve had that crush for some time, but I didn’t want to believe that I had all these feelings for you or even that you had any feelings for me. But it makes me happy.
…it’s not like I don’t know I’m behind him and potentially others. [ there’s a touch of obvious venom there. ] It’s not as if I didn’t make it obvious. I like spending time with you, and seeing you smile, and fucking you, and buying you things, and just making you some kind of happy. I don’t give most people this kind of attention, since most people aren’t worth it. But… I guess a lot of it also had to do with when you said you’d help me. It struck harder than a lot of those other things…
You're not behind anyone, Tartaglia, I don't see my relationship with people as a leaderboard I'm putting everyone in. You're important to me, I love you, and I'll be devastated when we end up parting way. Regardless of how temporary it's going to be. Which is exactly why I don't like hearing it said out loud that "I'm your second favourite person behind Zhongli".
[ He's so busy being pedantic that he misses he outright says I love you, even if he doesn't mean it in a romantic way ]
... It wasn't obvious for me. That you felt something. But I'm glad you do. You're right. It does make me happy too.
Did it really make that much of an impact on you? I should offer to be your knight in shining armor more often.
[ sorry, he’s too busy having a crisis over hearing five say ‘i love you’. even if part of him thinks is probably not in a romantic way he has no way of being sure and he still said it, so it’s not like it doesn’t mean exactly what it is. what is he supposed to do or say or… ]
[ Oh. That's ... nice. Especially with him calling him by his actual name. There's a small pause at that but of course he kisses him back, his hand going to Childe's back and stroking it gently ]
Is this working for comforting you or am I making things worse. I can shut up.

Re: Day 397,late.
I'm guessing the alcohol got to you. And you know. The rest. Are you sure you don't want to talk more?

[ his face does go red, however, and of course feeling his teeth and breath against him is having an effect on him ]

So Emet-Selch was right when he said you fancied me.

Five.
