[ darn! he should have suggested drinking something beforehand. ]

Yep! and it's something I had been mulling over for a while and wanted to do in Xiansheng's ideal world, especially since I might have had access to the ring I bought there, but, ah, things didn't go as planned... a- anyway! It went great and he accepted!

... Well that brings back memories.

I'm glad he accepted, regardless of how things went. Congratulations Ajax.

I did it at the beach and I, ah, [ his face colors and he looks a bit sheepish. ] I wrote it in the sand... across the entire coast. Found a pearl I thought we could turn into a ring...

Romantic. When Hades proposed to me I threatened to kill him.

Well, I'm happy for you. I can only imagine Zhongli was overwhelmed with joy.

You should have him show me how it happened in a dream sometime. I'd love to see.

But, yes, I'm happy for me too! [ beams~ ] I feel real... I don't know, I can't really explain it, but it's such a nice feeling. And, yes, he had been speechless on reading the message!

[ he's so cute right now, and he smiles at him, going to sit on the bed and pat the spot next to him ]

Come here.

[ moves to sit beside five on the bed. ] What's up, sensei?

[ he's pulling him close to get him to rest his head on his lap so he can stroke his hair gently ]

You deserve this. And you're both going to be happy for a long time.

[ lays on his back to look up at five. ] That's real sweet of you to say, sensei. And I'm already happy... so now I'm just more happy.

I thought you needed to hear it. You do deserve all the love in this world. And I'm glad you're finally experiencing more of it.

Sensei—?! You can’t just… d- don’t say things like that. [ you’re killing him!!! ]

What? You're engaged, I get to embarrass you as much as I want.

[ /// ] I don’t think my engagement means you can just tease me all of a sudden. [ he doesn’t sound annoyed. he’s just embarrassed. ] I… thought maybe we could all do something to celebrate? Dinner and drinks, maybe.

It is, I remember when you were too scared to make a move and I had to push you toward it. I have teasing rights.

But yes. Dinner and drinks sound lovely.

[ the color of his face continues to darken. ] I… [ clears his throat. ] I do owe some of this to you. [ and his unitmates too. ] I had been nervous to start. Unsure, really, if something like this, well, ok, not even *this*, but a relationship at all could work. [ sits up to throw his arms around five. ] Thank you, sensei, I’m lucky, so lucky, to have you in my life. [ squeezes him stupid. ]

Good thing that you don't have just me in your life either. And for as much as I tease you about that too ...

I'm grateful I'm your second favourite after Zhongli.

[ his expression flattens and he just decides to squeeze five extra hard for that comment. ] Keep it up, sensei. [ going to lean into him to topple them both back so he can squish five. ]

[ he laughs but then he does tap on his shoulder ]

Careful now, I'm very small. Any more and you're going to actually squeeze me to death.

I know my own strength, sensei, not to worry. I'm not going to squeeze you to death so much as keep you from saying that anymore.

I was hoping to scare you off from doing just that.

[ well. He'll take the chance to bring his hands on Childe's waist and hope he's ticklish because he's going on to tickling ]

S- Sensei-!!! [ just turns into a fox and bolts across the room. the hair on his back has become more galaxy-esque. ] Why do you want me off you? I want to ooze all my happy onto you.

[ he just laughs at that, and then gestures for him to come close ]

I'm only teasing you. Come and ooze all your happy onto me. You can take some flowers from my garden - you know. For the wedding.

[ changes back to do just that-! throws his arms back around him to cling. he's radiating happy! ] I don't think we'll be getting married before you and Hades.

Well. It's going to take a while for us, on account of everyone we care about having to be present. So you actually might.

I have yet to fulfill my duty to her Majesty and that's not exactly something I can do here, so... I've got a ways as well.
