[ What is Childe trying to do to him, really, Zhongli has to wonder when he's pulled up against the other flat against his chest, his arms now restricted from continuing. He stares at the other with pure curiosity rather than annoyance at him impeding his efforts, although he is surprised by the cute wink and even moreso the sudden tender kiss. Ah, what is he... ?
( ...What is he after, really? Nothing other than his mission, surely, but at the same time what does this type of interaction do for Childe in terms of that? )
Despite not understanding, Zhongli admittedly finds the younger man endearing for it, enough that he ends up closing his eyes to respond to the kiss with a healthy amount of his own affection. His own actions make no sense to him now, but he admittedly likes the feelings they elicit alongside Childe's own efforts. ]
