>> 010 | oh, worm

[ It's been a few days since he'd arrived in Liyue proper and the jet lag was only now just starting to wear off. A few days and he'd managed to become familiar enough with the terrain to be able to map out any viable escape routes, discover that he does not have much of a spice tolerance and that also, the man known as "Rex Lapis" was much more of a common face in the streets than he'd imagined him to be.

At first he'd thought he might have been mistaken, that the intel he'd received was wrong in some way. With nothing but a brief description (height, weight, hair color, eye color - and really, couldn't they have come up with a better term than "cor lapis gold"?) and a semi-blurry photograph taken from the side, Childe imagined he would have to scour Liyue for at least a good week or two before he found his target. The people of this fair city didn't seem to want to deviate from their traditional norms and they all seemed to dress the same way, too, making it hard to pick any one apart in a sea of browns and blacks and golds with the occasional vibrant but respectful color thrown into the mix.

Finding "Rex Lapis" would be a chore in itself, never mind going along with the Tsaritsa-sanctioned mission he had been assigned to kill the man. He wouldn't be surprised if he didn't see Snezhnayan shores for a month or two. The harbor city wasn't exactly small, after all, and from what he could see of the photograph the man looked like every other Liyuen walking about.

Imagine his surprise when said man was spotted immediately, perusing the market at his leisure and appraising each individual valuable when it was showcased to him by a hungry-looking merchant. Childe didn't have much of an eye for antiques so they all looked the same to him; nondescript and useless, no real worth in them aside from what they could be melted into. Rex Lapis seemed to have taken fault with literally every item shown to him for over an hour, and in the end had left the stall empty-handed with a fuming, exasperated worker glaring after him.

The man's schedule was easy enough to pick apart after that. Childe had spent the entirety of the first day tailing him and working out his walking path, following him at a leisurely distance and acting every bit like an enamored tourist so taken with Liyue's sights and sounds that lingering in any one place didn't seem too out of the ordinary. Rex would go from one building to another, hitting up all the merchant stalls in-between, always alone, never once breaking his poised, methodical stride. The fact that no one else seemed to be wary or suspicious of him - which, shouldn't they be, given he was effectively the ruling head of his "family"? - Childe was starting to wonder if maybe his intel had been incorrect.

By the third day he'd set up something of a base of operations in one of the buildings that he'd seen Rex meander in and out of. It was a modestly large hotel, boasting the sort of Liyuen-style decoration that a connoisseur of the East would lose themselves in. The architecture and paintings within were distinctly in the same style as the rest of the city, immortalizing Liyue's cultural arts with every brush stroke, ever swath of paint. The people at the lobby were certainly cordial enough and, despite the backwater-country vibes the interior gave off, it was clear they were relatively up to date and rather technologically savvy, the staff able to reserve him a room for a few weeks in a matter of moments after a few swipes on their touchpads.

It might have seemed foolish to book a room in the same building that he planned to trail and potentially murder Rex Lapis in, but Childe had confidence in spades. He knew the best ways to escape the country and, barring that, it wasn't as though there weren't Fatui already infiltrating the city. The element of danger was what made it most exciting, after all.

A few days turned into a little under a week, and then a little over a week, and eventually the time came for Childe to make his move. As much as he had no issues with killing an innocent man, if word that he did got to Rex Lapis himself it wouldn't make finding him any easier. He was pretty sure the man he'd been tailing had to have been him. He looked like the one in the photograph, after all... but then, also, he wasn't entirely sure. He certainly didn't look like the mean-mugging head of a mafia family.

So Childe decides that it would be best to give him a little test of sorts.

It's around seven at night, when the lights of the city have started to flicker to light. The people on the streets are making their way home after a long day's work, threading around each other and making idle chatter in the form of greetings and farewells. Nothing more than that, since everyone has somewhere they need to be.

Childe's target is among them, his height and distinct strides making him stick out like a sore thumb. The man navigates through the crowds easily, smoothly, and were Childe not as good as he was at general reconnaissance work - thanks to his training when he was a grunt in the Fatui - he probably would have lost him minutes ago. Admittedly, there is something about this man that just screams of a higher plane of existence, he thinks, but it's not something he can actually place his finger on.

His chance to strike comes when the man takes a sudden turn into a darkened alley - a usual for him, Childe had learned, but only on certain days. He waits a few moments outside the entrance before stepping in after him, and their footsteps echo hollowly on the high walls around them as the other continues to walk, purposefully, like he hadn't just heard Childe coming in after him.

Yeah, there was no way this was Rex Lapis. Childe reasons this to himself even as he's pulling his Tokarev out from its holster at his side. He fits the silencer into the weapon with a click that seems to ring throughout the area, and he's quick to lift it up and point it at the man in front of him once they've reached a far enough distance from the streets. ]


You're a brave man, you know.

[ He's taken care to dress casually, forgoing his usual suit and vest in favor of slim-fitting jeans and a hoodie. To anyone else he would probably look like a kid attempting a robbery; to Rex, he's not quite sure. Even Childe knows from his reputation among the lower recruits that he's something of a sight on the battlefield. There's particular rumors swirling about his eyes and their hue directly correlating to all the murders he's committed.

Childe's arm never wavers, and his gaze fixates on the man's back as he speaks again, a little louder. ]


Empty your pockets.

[ Rex Lapis is silent as he listens to the other end of the phone, staring at Childe who is somehow doing the exact opposite of what he told him a moment ago.

How unsurprising. Eventually he closes his eyes whether to avoid staring at Childe or in exasperation of him being there or perhaps the conversation he is currently on the receiving end of, all with little to be said from his own. He doesn't seem to answer anything beyond yes or no questions, but eventually he will speak at length again.
]

The product reacted very strangely. I do not believe they are in an acceptable satisfactory state to be successfully marketed even underground. Number eleven did not fare well under the influences. Anyone unused to such things will react that much worse. To me, it was decently calming. Nevertheless, if I have everyone who is exposed to it react the same way as this Fatuus, then my tolerance level will not matter.

... Back to my original concern. I do not wish to house your assassin for long. Make arrangements to pick him up or I will drag him back to Snezhnaya myself. You do not want me in Snezhnaya. I am very busy and such a would be extremely inconvenient to me.

[ Rex Lapis opens his eyes to stare straight at Childe. Despite the close proximity, he seems unbothered by the personal space intrusion. That or he finds the situation being regarded over the phone as more important than making space between them.

Really, though, what nerve. This may be about Childe, but it's not his business. It could have been, if he wasn't such a stubborn brat and just accepted the offer to be sent home, but he didn't.

[ Rex Lapis doesn't anticipate the shove, but it prepares him for a potential incoming blow that he's going to have to deal with while remaining on the phone. Although he does not need to pay respects to another boss or their ambassador on the phone, it's always been his protocol. He does not hang up abruptly or end conversations when they become trying, at least with business partners. Assassin's like Childe do not count. He would have been better off losing as a diplomat first and an assassin second.

The blow never comes, however and the mafia boss is admittedly confused, especially when he realizes Childe is still taking action of some kind and touching him. He doesn't resist, but that's because he is truly clueless as to what the other has in mind. Sure, he had that conversation last night about the boss needing to get laid as Zhongli, but it doesn't even cross his mind a little bit. He still continues with his phone call without missing a beat, requesting (begrudgingly) what their alternative proposal is.

Childe at least has his visual attention now, though. It's... undeniable progress.

[ There's the slightest hiss in warning to Childe to keep his hands to himself when he decides to start undoing the fasterner to his pants. Of all the bratty and petty things he could pick to do!

Unwilling and untrusting of him not to take his too far, he grabs defensively at the waist of his pants where the fastener is to block those hands, glaring down at the other to just try and keep going. Unfortunately, one hand is all Rex can spare because he's holding his phone with the other and still has to listen and conversate.

What a handful... and Rex Lapis for the first time (though he will not show it) is uncertain of what he's going to do if the other keeps going in this direction. There is no way he is giving him the chance to do anything sexual, especially with how easily and willing Zhongli was over Childe's cock.

Besides, he's still hurting from last night.

[ This brat. Unfortunately, in Rex Lapis' eyes, this means that he can't just cave now because the other will get it in his head he can do this again or something even bolder. He's not sure if Childe managed to bend him over that he'd be able to tell his own handiwork considering his incredible state of denial, but at best he would know that if someone was able to fuck him, then he probably could, too. Childe does not need that type of power or knowledge. It's not like he'd let him, anyway... he's quite sure. Flashbacks from last night don't make him feel overly confident in that statement, but surely at worst he can maintain his power over Childe as "Rex Lapis" and resort to being dominated only while he believes him to be "Zhongli."

He would have thought Childe too prideful for something like this, but apparently he doesn't view sucking cock the same way the Mafia head does. In the other's defense, too, it's admittedly certainly an alternative way of control, but, really he would have thought sucking dick was viewed as submission by a Snezhnayan...!

(Then again, perhaps Childe's just terribly convincing he'll go all the way and he has no plans to.)

He still doesn't say anything, but admittedly has to wince with Childe's mouth suddenly on his crotch. He does his absolute best to ignore him, at least in the sense of not letting it arouse him any more than he already has been from their scuffling.

Belligerently, the head of the family looks pointedly away from Childe, refusing to give him that satisfaction and instead use his free hand to try and push Childe's head away, anyway. He could grab his hair, but something tells him that will just encourage the other. Maybe this, too, will encourage him, but... he doesn't have any faith anymore the other will stop shy of actually doing it if he lets him continue without any action on his part.

He can almost hear the smugness in her tone as much as he already saw it on her little assassin's face when she finds out about all this absurdity. He breathes out through his nose in an attempt to calm himself, making extra efforts to continue speaking in the foreign tongue and definitely not think about the idiot between his legs. This child certainly has a death wish, doesn't he!
]

I fail to understand why you have brought that up. Then again, I fail to also comprehend that you have caused this situation in the first place. My patience is vast, but not endless.

[ He shoves rather hard at Childe's head when he says that, the smallest growl underlying his tone. Stop it! Now.

Keep his bad ideas to himself and don't drag him into them.

[ he can't hang up the phone, but as soon as he gets off the phone he has full plans to exact revenge. Rex also wonders briefly if perhaps he can resist whatever Childe tries to pull, even as he watches in slight concern at the way Childe holds his cock, the way he looks at it likes it's something to be wholly admired.

That, of course, is immediately forgotten as an option when the other puts his mouth on his dick. The Mafia leader winces but stays well enough in control despite the pleasure and excitement his body is betraying him with. When Childe's tongue dig into his slit, though, a hitch of breath turns into a low hiss, his free hand gripping tightly around the arm rest. No, no, no— damn it! Is he affected so easily because of what he did with him as Zhongli last night?

It's hard to forget all that, hard to forget how much he had enjoyed himself and the things he said to the other. This isn't the time now, though. He's a completely different beast right now, and one that can't be giving Childe power over him, especially not via sex. The thought of the other teasing him with dirty words about how easily the head of the family can become such a needy slut is far too vivid for his liking. He's still banking the other wouldn't dare, but Rex Lapis is considering his options on how to handle it, anyway. He starts not even really hearing the phone conversation, just his own frantic thoughts with each twitch and shiver forced out of him as Childe has his way with his cock.

Rex Lapis isn't aware, but with his eyes squeezed shut and his head off to one side as if to double make sure he doesn't steal a peek at the person sucking him off, his flushed face attempting to keep everything in is rather... cute. How he struggles to resist versus how easily Zhongli opened up to it is a stark contrast. Funny how the "cute and innocent" one in sex isn't necessarily his "brother" when compared. Even if it's not actually true, and that's on top of him and Zhongli being the same person.

How goddamn humiliating.

[ the silence giving way to squelching sounds is unfortunately very tempting. still, he's mostly able to keep himself under control.

When Rex speaks, though, his normally perfect words and even tone are continuously defiled with hitches or moans that edge their way out as the words flow.

Eventually the call comes to a close, with her suggesting he seems to have some penny up frustrations to deal with and should take test from his work.

Her commentary doesn't help his mood one bit and he slams the phone down before burying his head in his arms on the desk. His growl is well heard, however,even as he brings his foot to kick at Childe. This is his last damn warning.

[ really, Rex Lapis had every intention of letting him go despite being severely pissed off since he finally backed off. He doesn't look at the other the entire time, too humiliated and just willing to let Childe walk away with this victory if it means getting the other away from him. Unfortunately, the other has to speak, which gets Rex to look at him, and he sees those eyes.

This won't do. If he were more humble about his victory, he could have gotten away with it, but if he wants to be paid attention to this badly, then fine.

Without warning, Rex Lapis grabs Childe by the collar and drags him onto the desk with his back against it, absolutely uncaring about anything that goes crashing, clattering, or scattering to the floor. The force he uses to keep Childe pinned is to be reckoned with, even as his other hand goes down to Childe's pants to yank them down enough to fully exposed him and not be in the Mafia boss's way. Using his free hand he'll grab one of the other's leg to lift up over his shoulder out of his way for clear access to that entrance of his.
]

And I hope that you can take cock raw so that it doesn't hurt too much. [ oh, but Rex really wants it to hurt, Childe doesn't even know how furious the Mafia head is that he's willing to do something like this after refusing and continuously avoiding it for quite some time. He hopes it hurts enough that Childe looks at his "Zhongli" and can't forget this and it absolutely ruins him for Childe.

There's really no preparation whatsoever, Rex just forcing his engorged and slickened cock inside of Childe once he is able to get it to line up with his entrance. He pushes before pulling back and then thrusts back in to spread him apart further and repeats the motions until he gets his cock completely sheathed. He hopes it's not pleasant, but if Childe really is some masochist and it is in any way, whatever.

At the very least, Rex gets to get release and his pent up frustrations out. That's all he cares about, truth be told. Now that he's worked up, it just isn't going to go down so easily on its own; and like hell he's suffering for this brat's sake after everything he's pulled to get them to this point.

[ Rex has no choice but to get punched considering his position, especially as he finds himself rather fixated on Childe's reactions. Still, it doesn't really do much in terms of getting the Mafia boss off of him. In fact, it just encourages him to begin moving sooner than he would have. What he's done seems to have inflicted the shock and pain on the assassin as desired, enough that it does ease Rex's ire to the point he isn't pounding Childe into the desk with his thrusts. Besides, the other is incredibly tight for him, which already had him about to see stars before getting punched.

Nevertheless, Rex speaks quietly, something closer to his usual demeanor (but still pretty far from it) even as he rocks his hips to continue fucking the other.
] Are you disappointed? [ there're a few strained huffs before he speaks again. ] Don't worry, you're far too tight for this to go on long. You should be grateful.

[ for what he doesn't say. ] The less you struggle the quicker it'll be over with.

[ Rex Lapis smirks. Childe sure doesn't know how to gain pity, does he? He avoids the second hit but pulling back just enough for it to miss before he continues. He does clench his teeth when Childe tightens about him, far less concerned about the pressure of that leg since he can basically use his hold to pull it away if it gets too much.

What Rex doesn't expect, however, is Childe's sudden burst of strength— which could honestly have been used for so many other attempted actions—used to force him down to crush lips with the other. Eyes wide in momentarily disbelief, he closes them in frustration (and discomfort) before he's indulging and returning the kiss to the other albeit less aggressively. (He's fucking the other, it's fine to be more submissive in the kiss.) It hurts, certainly, he's not immune to pain, but not enough that he can't stand it and has to force himself to get out of the kiss. He isn't thrilled with Childe's stunt, but he imagines it's the drug still in his system as much as the other's that compels him to stay in the kiss rather than back off.

[ Hmph. Rex grimaces at the sudden buck of Childe's hips, it forcing him in deeper and faster than expected, which still is uncomfortable despite the pleasure starting to kick in.

However, he ignores that in favor of tilting his head to lick the tears sliding along Childe's cheeks. It's strangely affectionate rather than mocking in any manner, and Rex lets his hand on Childe's chest slide down to his stomach before remaining there. The Harbinger will feel a sudden pulse of something, and, as it spreads through him, the pain he's feeling is eased and ultimately numbed. The pleasure, however, is left as is to be felt and consume.

As much as one can enjoy such a thing happening to them, anyway.

[ Rex Lapis considers the demand, his ire a bit further calmed. Mm... he should say no, especially since he's not finished (especially since Childe takes advantage of every reprieve he gives him,) but he decides to entertain the idea. ]

If I do, will you get out of my sight?
