>> 005 | I’m a soldier, not a plaything


[ Liyue is burning.

It had only been a few hours since the Snezhnayan army had landed on the city’s shores and in that time the soldiers had wasted no time cutting a swath of destruction and violence throughout the safe harbor. Merchant’s stalls were tipped over, their contents ransacked and pillaged. Temples burned on hilltops, shrines to the gods splattered with blood and viscera of their most devout followers. Ornate, gilded residences once home to nobles and elite politicians crumbled by the wayside and bodies of Liyue’s former citizens bled together in red trickles of blood that flowed like rivers through the streets.

Whatever class system that had been put in place before was inconsequential. There was far too much carnage to pick out the robes of a noble from ones of a commoner, and all parties bled the same.

It was uncertain what had prompted the attack. For all extents and purposes negotiations had been fine, with some trade ships conducting business as usual between the two nations as recently as a week ago.

One of the bodies laying in the street was a small figure garbed in Liyuen clothing, clutching a Snezhnayan matryoshka doll. Childe, better known as Tartaglia to his servants and Ajax to his close family, glanced over the grim sight and murmured a soft prayer before continuing on his way through the city. The bottoms of his boots and trousers were soaked with blood, stained until the fabric changed from a dull grey to a red so deep it was practically black.

He’d been pulled from his chambers by one of his men stumbling in, clothes ripped and tattered, blood flowing from a wound in his side. He’d yelled something about a surprise Millelith ambush and how several of his comrades had already been taken out while they were ransacking the Golden House, and then promptly passed out.

As Childe made his way there he took note of the destruction of the city with something like satisfaction and elation in his dark blue eyes. Perhaps it was because of his status as a Harbinger or maybe because his upbringing was less than conventional, but this was the sort of environment that he thrived in.

Bodies of Liyuen citizens littered the ground underfoot in the walk he took to reach the doors of the Golden House, and before stepping within he noted how they were slightly ajar, small handprints of blood standing out on the wood next to larger ones slimmer than his own.

How strange. He wondered if people had tried to take sanctuary here before the Fatui found them, or if they’d been chased here and sought to make their final stand in one of Liyue’s most well-known landmarks.

He sincerely hoped no blood got on the mora. From the last time he’d visited the mint he remembered that the caretakers tended to just leave it laying around in piles.

As he steps inside Childe finds himself staring at a scene of such carnage and violence he can’t help the catch of his breath, the way his pupils dilate while something warm and hot burns under his skin.

His men lay on the floor, clothes ripped and torn with the press of a blade or a spear. It’s a pole arm, he concludes, when he lifts his eyes and catches sight of a few more of his men surrounding a man with long brown hair dipped in gold.

And gods, he thinks. This man is a vision.

He wields the pole arm effortlessly, as though it’s another part of him. Childe watches as his men go flying with the force used against them, the butt of the shaft used in connection with an open palm to force the Fatui into giving the foreigner a wide berth.

Childe thinks he recognizes the uniform as something of similar make to the Millelith, but he’s not sure. There’s too much blood staining down the man’s front to be able to tell, and Childe hopes not all of it is this beautiful foreigner’s. ]


Enough. [ He calls out, voice ringing authoritatively in the open space. His men on the floor groan in reply. Childe keeps his gaze on the man in front of him, desire thrumming through his veins. ]

You’ve given my men quite the work out, haven’t you? [ It comes out teasingly as though there isn’t a Fatui lying limp with his arm missing. ]

My name is Tartaglia, Eleventh of Her Majesty the Tsaritsa’s Harbingers. But you can call me Childe.

[ And he smiles, the gesture so innocent it’s unfitting for the bloody scene all around them. ]

And what are you called, my lovely?

[truthfully, he doesn't know if he thinks Childe would have stopped for a second even if he'd said no. in spite of what he's become, he still recalls where they began, the first moment he'd realised that - at least as he is now - he's more or less in a position of only being able to accept what he's given.

perhaps it's better, then, that he's begun to enjoy himself. Childe's fondness for him helps no small amount, even if that attraction has met him in a slow, fervid aching in the warrior. is he still a warrior, after all this time? surely, being so filled and so used, Zhongli hasn't had the same amount of time for training and honing his skills. even so... he's still certain he could take care of himself, if he needed to.

which is, in the end, neither here nor there. it's irrelevant as fingers grip around his thigh and hoist it higher, so much that if he looks down, he can see the other's cum-covered cock squishing and churning the mess left inside him. Zhongli's fingers curl in the sheets as he endures the onslaught (endures, he thinks, isn't quite the right term. he's losing his mind with the pleasure of it, little by little) alongside the way his body molds and clings to its thick weight.

beneath him, his own cock twitches and throbs with the ruthless fucking, drawn closer with every heartbeat. he need only wait, he knows, for the Snezhnayan to give in to his truest self... and wait he does, for the short time he has to.

hips hasten their plunging pace and as it turns frenzied, wanton and harsh enough to thump the bed into the wall, he struggles to remember what life was like without it. surely, it hadn't been that long... and yet. Childe's voice rises just behind him and he shudders.]


Nngh-- ah... go-- go on. [his hole, pounded into shape as it is, provides no resistance to being taken; all of it is in the way his body clings, as though the other's cock provides him with the only thing he needs.] Fill me up again... [his lips curl at the thought of it, a vague wonder in mind if perhaps, just perhaps, it will gush in and fill him more, or if it won't find any tiny space to squelch and slosh against his legs, his thighs, the poor ruined bedsheet beneath them. his backside aches from its abuse, back arching as he leans his shoulders back into Childe's chest. ah, he's so close...]

[Zhongli would no doubt have something to say about that thought, if he but knew. right now, he's falling into place, losing all the indignance and hesitation of being an individual with autonomy, or thoughts therein. here in this bed, he is exactly what Childe wants - his lovely little prize, trembling and moaning as he comes apart on his cock.

hands grip his hip and haul him over, the liquid swelling his belly shifting and sloshing with each movement. instantly, his hips are thrust upward, position awkward only for him, really. it doesn't stop him from crying out as Childe's cock bucks into his belly, cum oozing and splattering and slicking across both of their hips and thighs. it'd be embarrassing if he was in any other place.

well, no. it's still embarrassing, in the end. as he's forced down over and over and the churning liquid in his stomach drips and flows down over the Snezhnayan's hips, the bed, slowly making an absolute mess of everything they can see. all he really cares about is how blissfully enticing it feels, his belly stretching and flattening with every rough thrust.

he-- can't think. he doesn't want to stop, in truth, even knowing he wants his own space. truly, he's addicted in the worst way, though he'd never admit it. harsh Snezhnayan ghosts across his ear, not half as harsh as the teeth that nip at it. breathless, he thinks it's not unlike a gemstone being shaped for use, tossed and tested in no end of ways simply for the sake of seeing how much one could take.

but it's true - they've certainly dislodged a good portion of cum, enough that he's able to feel his belly stretching from the hard head of the other's cock, rather than just the sheer amount of cum inside him. he's forced to relegate his balance to the other now - not that that's a problem - and he truly does wish he felt more frustrated and embarrassed over it.]

[the first spurt of heat is disgustingly satisfying, thick ropes of cum pouring deep into his body all over again. Zhongli reaches up despite everything, fitting trembling fingers into Childe's hair where he's groaning against his skin. it's gentle and accommodating, a sign that no matter what he might say, he does at least somewhat enjoy this feeling. that some part of him now accepts the Harbinger as part of his life.

his panting slows only slightly as his belly inflates with the seed filling it, a soft moan escaping him. fingers keep him flush against Childe's hips and his eyes close to just listen to him. a woman... that would be awkward, wouldn't it? his lips part to speak but the words that come out are all in his native tongue - and half of them are plainly garbled.

one last deep press of hips, and Zhongli can at least tell it's over. his belly is swollen, he thinks, even more than it had been before - it baffles him, how much cum the other has. a faint, dumb smile crosses his lips as fingers stroke over his belly, the taut flesh indenting gently in the shape of the pressure.]


... You are... incorrigible.

[he finally manages a few words, his eyes closing as hips buck gently. thick cum sloshes in him and it earns a rough little moan, legs spreading just that little bit wider. his ass squeezes pleasantly at the stimulation despite the fact that they have things to do.]

Just... just one... I said. [voice slurring, he tries to recount again how he ended up here.] I need to... bathe... so we can go...

[personal profile] geocash 2021-12-23 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Don't- [Zhongli exhales a helpless cry as Childe pushes down on his belly, his own cock throbbing at the feeling of pressure and the squeeze of liquid around the other's cock.

lips find his ear and he can't help the whine he gives. perhaps he thought if he could hold back long enough to escape, he could finish getting off in the bath, clean himself out and quiet his libido before the Snezhnayan could turn it on him.]


I... don't... a-ah. You're cheating- [his ass squeezes down as teeth bite sharply at his earlobe, cock leaking on his stomach as he protests. the head of Childe's cock rakes against his insides as he's lifted up and Zhongli struggles not to grasp his dick, biting his lip.

then, almost too suddenly, he can feel cum pouring out of his wrecked hole in its absence, his head falling back until he can press his face to Childe's neck.]


It's important to me-- [me certainly doesn't come out as a proper word, garbled and sharp as his hips are dropped. the head bunts his entrance and slams in, in, in to push out his belly again and the foreigner actually howls. any pretense of holding back are gone in that instant, as thick ropes of cum splash over his chest, up to his neck and even onto his cheek. it aches in the most disgustingly pleasant way, and his legs remain spread wide as arms wrap around his waist.] I... ah... haah. fuck...

[it's mumbled into his neck, his face so red he's sure Childe must be easily able to feel the heat of it. his whole body feels worn, but part of him still wants to give in, to stay in bed and let his captor use him like a cute little cocksleeve.]
geocash: (♪If I trace your scars)

[personal profile] geocash 2021-12-23 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
If I... ah. It is hardly my choice for you to be so... taken.

[in little moments of clarity like this, Zhongli can truly realise both how affected he is by his captor, and how frustratingly difficult a spell it is to break. hips roll and rock against him and he fights not to melt into it.]

My-- my space. [his voice is ragged and breathy as Childe denies cheating, as if he hadn't dropped Zhongli directly back on his cock when he hadn't even cum yet, as if his body hasn't been shaped and conditioned to accept and want it at his leisure.] Then I will... nnrh.

[another shudder slips through him as those hands settle on his waist, resting what seems like contently. it takes him a moment, hair stuck to his face, to even try to lift himself up. if he takes an extra few moments to enjoy the slow, aching slide of his cock raking along his insides... well, perhaps Childe won't notice, or at least not say anything.]

[personal profile] geocash 2021-12-24 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I have... never claimed less, have I?

[it's true enough; outside of when he's been broken on Childe's cock, begging for more until his belly is swollen and tight, he has certainly lamented his lack of privacy and space. breath uneven and shivery, he pauses as the other rocks his hips further, biting back a whine at the interference.]

I will-- haah... probably sleep normally, for once. [he can't help but cry out when he finally, finally pulls himself fully off of his captor's cock, flooding them both with ever more cum. gods, he will never understand how there's so much... his voice is strained as he shifts to get up.]

I wouldn't lock the door; I fully expect you would have a key anyway. I would simply ask that my room remains... relatively pristine.

[in other words: he's very politely asking Childe not to fuck him stupid in his own room, yes.]

[personal profile] geocash 2021-12-25 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zhongli just looks at him at that comment, with that imperious, knowing gaze of his. Indeed, they both know that the foreigner's test has changed immensely since his arrival, and still more these last weeks, when reluctance slowly turned into acceptance such to allow Childe the visceral, wanton view he now has.]

... yes, it is. Normally, I would ask it to be written, in fact.

[but... nothing has been normal for him for quite some time, has it? Slowly, shakily, Zhongli climbs to his feet with stubborn certainty.]

I will bathe now, unless there remains a pressing negotiation.

[There he pauses again, legs... sticky and a little cold in the open air, ever chilled by the howling winds of Snezhnaya. Part of him remains glad that he's evidently an unnamed spoil of war, so far as her majesty is concerned - power sealed though he is, the man has his pride.]
geocash: (♫As a work of artistry)

[personal profile] geocash 2021-12-29 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[would that the harbinger knew the truth. Zhongli only watches him for a moment, considering him as though trying to figure out if the offer is in earnest. After all, the man has never kept his hands off of him, has he? Not really...]

It would bring me some comfort, truthfully. [He closes his eyes as Childe approaches, not really taking the proffered arm nor actually shying away from it.] Perhaps you could draw it up while I bathe, that we might negotiate properly.

[It's a convenient attempt to save him from dealing with being fucked stupid in the tub after he's finally emptied himself out, too. Whether or not the other takes to it, well... he'll see.]
geocash: (♪The selfish reason)

[personal profile] geocash 2021-12-31 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
... Very well. 'Tis hardly a difficult concept, truth be told.

[it's impossible not to notice how Childe addresses him, true. a partner, as though he has some equal standing - or more, as though he matters more. peering down at his own filled belly, returning to the warmth of Childe's gaze... it's hard to say which is more likely for certain. he'll have to reflect on it later, he supposes.]

Thank you.

[weight balanced oddly and his gravid belly shifting with every movement, he actually does appreciate the help walking. thoughts hidden behind his absent gaze, he pauses to look over the already prepared bath, pausing as the Snezhnayan speaks.]

I don't-- think it will be necessary for you to get in with me, will it? With respect, I didn't intend on having to clean myself out more than once before arriving at my own room. Though I suppose I haven't much choice if you insist, do I?

[personal profile] geocash 2021-12-31 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[this would be less troublesome if he hadn't been fighting not to sink back down on the Snezhnayan's dick earlier, but at least it likely keeps his mind off the poor servants having had to prepare baths while they slept.

heat curls up from the water and as Childe settles in with a groan, Zhongli's weight shifts. he's fully expecting this to go poorly for him - at least, in the vein of getting to his room with any speed. still...]


You promise... I may hold you to that. After all, the only thing I intend is to clean up and prepare for the move.

[it's a soft warning really, as he does climb into the tub. it feels exceedingly strange, having the water around his swollen belly, but... that won't last too much longer, right?

... right. he hopes. the Liyuen settles on Childe's lap with a sigh, his worn muscles eased by the heat of the bath, weight relaxing surprisingly easily, he thinks. as long as the other meant what he said, this will be fine. he'll be able to wash up and clean himself out and get ready for a good rest, uninterrupted by fingers and lips riling him up again, again, again.]

[personal profile] geocash 2022-01-01 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[indeed, the foreigner does his best to settle as comfortably as he can on his captor's lap. Relief flickers through him almost as strongly as disappointment when the other's dick presses against his back, his own weight trapping it firmly between them.]

I-- nnh-

[a hand pushes against his belly and Zhongli can feel the spend squeezing out, thick and still warm. It's doubtlessly going to cloud the water with how much there is to displace, but he doesn't mind. Not really.]

It is... it's about the principle of it all. [His body shifts a little then, legs spreading to ease any attempts at urging more cum out of him. For his part, he does reach down to find the ruined ring of his entrance, slipping two fingers in awkwardly to spread it open and urge more out.] sometimes-- I just want a night where I'm left alone. Not obscenely swollen and out of my mind.

[so really, yes and no. Zhongli is indeed given plenty of time for himself, but there's always the knowledge that when Childe returns, he'll be relegated to his personal plaything all over again.]

You never accept my refusals, and so this is my only recourse.
geocash: (♪The once and forever bloom)

[personal profile] geocash 2022-01-03 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
That is what the contract is there to stop, isn't it? [he can feel that throb easily, choosing to ignore it and all it means. really, his captor is entirely too much.

more still when a hand pushes his legs wider apart, weight shifting a little.]


I don't need assist--ance...

[he doesn't, and still he lets his fingers be batted away and replaced, head tilting to one side obediently to give room for his lips. for his insistence that he wants to move, he's still quite pliant this morning.

the tip of a finger slips in and he struggles not to shudder. it's so much harder to focus when it's not his own, even before the fact that Childe is blatantly intending to rile him up.]


Don't-- don't tease me like that.
