... Mmm. Maybe.

[ he lets him free at that, but also ends up pulling back, looking at him as if he's challenging him ]

Are you sure it's me you want to bother for eternity?

[ and he instantly flips them. now he can more freely bully him, and by bully i mean grind into him. he doesn't though, not immediately, instead he leans down and brings their foreheads close. ] If you keep on making cute faces like this for me, then absolutely. [ ... ] I never did tell you that while Pitchka became a god, in destroying the world he destroyed himself. He needed a wish too.

[ well he was going to try to flip them again, but his words distract him ]

... Is that why he couldn't save you?

He had started helping me. I had... a lot of people helping me... but things have kind of changed, now, and I have no way of... reaching these people... I have to start over. [ and try not to rely on so many people, probably, but that's kind of what he's doing by asking mochi for help. d- dammit. ] But you should know better than anybody... [ he kisses him roughly, a kind of promise. ] I'm not one to go down without a fight, no matter who my opponent is. [ even if it's time, itself. ]

But if you burn yourself out, you’ll just end up dying too soon.

[ he reaches for his collar and pulls him into another kiss - just as rough and desperate ]

You can’t abandon me.

...then I'll have to challenge death, himself. [ grunts, easing into the kiss and giving it just as good as he's getting it. ] Do you really think I would, ..?

[ yes ]

You wouldn't be the first person who told me he wouldn't die and then did.

[ moving off of him entirely, though, but offering his hand to help him up ]

I'll help however I can. But don't go wasting yourself on me.

I’m honestly offended. [ he doesn’t take his hand, instead getting up on his own. ] And what is that supposed to mean? I’ll waste myself however I like, and I’m not going to die and stay dead. I’ll claw my way out of the ground if I have to.

Be realistic. You don't normally come back from the dead, and if you can't bother to be even a little bit careful then why should I get invested in you?

I came back from the dead once before, and who said I’m not even a little careful? But if you’re nothing but careful… what’s the point?

[ he can't exactly judge him when he himself doesn't fear death and is careless. They've always been similar in that regard - they both earned themselves a seat as Harbingers because of it. ]

... I just know I can't take it.

I understand. Heartbreak is something that you never fully recover from, … [ but it’s a two way street. mochi could die or just vanish on him too. it’s already happened once. ]

Life is full of the good and the bad. That’s just what makes it interesting. But if you’d rather stay at arm’s length, then I’m not going to push you.

Can't you just agree to not be an idiot?

No. We don’t share the same definition of what being an idiot is.

[ childe uses the Geo to make himself a seat, which he promptly drops into - slouching down. ]

... Fine.

We're not done with this fight. Get up.

[ the seat crumbles beneath him as he stands up . ]

[ a Geo fin appears and begins circle them. childe’s eyes glow as electro energy begins radiating off him - purple sparks snapping as a hydro blade coalesces in his hand. ]

You’re all so worried about whether I’m going to die, but what about if you just leave. Again. [ he’s talking about him defecting from the fatui. ]

I thought Dottore told you where I was. He had his hands on me the entire time, after all.

[ he's floating again, and immediately starting to hit him with windblades, attacking the constructs in rapid succession as well ]

Dottore is an asshole. He didn’t tell me shit. I went to Inazuma looking for you, but you had been in Sumeru the entire time with that bastard. [ he takes the furthest hits, stalking forward. he does need to start blocking the closer he gets, so eventually he just disappears, turning into a hydro ball the zooms past Mochi. ]

[ an enormous Geo shark crests from the ground, intent on gobbling him up as childe reappears behind him - raining electro infused hydro arrows down on him. ]

[ AND THEN THERE WAS A VERY INTENSE FIGHT IN WHICH THEY BOTH GAVE IT THEIR ALL!!! Once they're done Mochi will be on the floor, catching his breath ]

I gave you the fight you wanted. Now you have to give me something I want.

[ childe is on the ground beside him and he's also panting in an attempt to catch his breath, because INTENSE FIGHT. ] And what would that be? [ he has some ideas!!! ]

You're coming with me in the sex shop ruin. The rest is a surprise.

[ because of course he also got turned on after the fight ]

[ childe is also turned on, because it's a fight and he loves fights as much as he loves fucking. ] Hah. Of course it is. [ rolls his eyes and gets up, offering mochi a hand. ] Lets' go.

[ taking his hand, lingering there for a moment ]

I'm still mad at you for doing something so careless. But if you insist on living so dangerously, I should help you test that delusion in other ways too.

I know I shouldn't be too careless... but I just, I need to keep on getting stronger. I just want you to... [ he huffs, trailing off. he's not sure what he wants. he does squeeze mochi's hand though, tugging him closely. ] Which one? Or all of them? Want me to make you a thicc geo dildo? [ sneers. ]

[ ... oh, well isn't that an idea ]

I think that would be a little too solid. But we can figure out something to do with geo.

[ but he does squeeze his hand, and just tug him toward the ruin ]

You won't protest no matter what I do, right?
