It came upon them unexpectedly, almost no build up.

Paimon and Aether had stayed at the Dawn Winery for dinner with Diluc after dealing with the strange crimson Ley Line. After the lavish meal, the little fairy had long since retired to one of the spare bedrooms that Diluc had offered to Aether on many occasions if the young wanderer wanted to get away from the stuffy Favonius Headquarters, and have a moment of privacy. Since the hotel was booked out by the Fatui for long term.

When the girl slept, the two had time to simply enjoy each other's company. They only got to speak a few times, and it was always with someone else present. Diluc asked Aether all about his life… starting with his sister and coming to his trip in Liyue. The frown that formed between the vigilante pyro when Aether made an account of his fight with a Fatui Harbinger and oceanic god.

Diluc pulled Aether into the closest room while his face stayed grim making the younger traveller tense. What was going on? Did he say thing wrong? Was it the mention of the Harbinger… Diluc's mortal enemy?

"Were you injured?" Asked Diluc firmly and the question shocked Aether.

"I-I am alright…" Aether nervously rubbed the back of his neck, "I recover pretty quickly."

"When we were at the ley line…" Shit… he saw it… "You stumbled mid-swing. I have seen you fight enough to know that you wouldn't lose balance that easily."

"It was just sore muscles."

"Hmph, excuses." His reasoning didn't satisfy Diluc… the man grabbed Aether by the wrist and slit his eyes when he noticed the blonde flinch in pain, "Show me."

"I said I am ok…" Aether tried to pull back his wrist but Diluc held firm, the pain spasmed up his arm making him stop his weak struggles. He gave a small sniff and only then did Diluc loosen his grip so that he could remove the others glove. What he found on the pale skin made him tighten his lips.

"This bruising says otherwise. Did you sprain your wrist?" Diluc almost growled as he examined the injury, the bruising was faded to a mustard yellow. "Why did you not say anything?"

"I will heal…" Aether averted his eyes, "It is not something you need to be concerned about…"

This set-in motion something that neither of them expected. The anger in Diluc's eyes was the first warning before Aether found himself pressed face-first against the closest bookshelf, his clothes were askew from Diluc examining him forcefully for more injuries. And when he found the angry bruises on Aethers back from where he was thrown into a cliff, Diluc turned almost savage…

Any leftover crumbs of peace evaporated into a carnage of emotions.

The fact that Aether continued to say Diluc shouldn't be concerned seemed to aggravate the red-haired man more. Pinned to the bookshelf, the older man applied a serum from his pocket to Aether's pale skin. It felt silky and cold, and Aether couldn't help the small moan as Diluc's bare fingers passed over a sensitive spot in his spine. He slapped a hand over his mouth and Diluc froze.

His eyes landed on Aether's ears, which turned a vibrant shade of red… and something must have snapped.

Within a few minutes, Aether was clenching the bookshelf moaning and panting as Diluc pushed his serum drenched fingers into his hole. It wasn't slow or gentle as he coated Aether's insides with a thin layer before pressing his fiery hot chest onto Aether's spine, crushing him against the shelf. The chains that decorated his old, crimson uniform left marks in his skin as Diluc loudly undid his belts with all the desperation of a mad-man.

"Diluc…" Aether gave a long-winded moan as he felt something warm rub against his puckering hole and his mouth dried up, "…please…"

"Don't ever tell me that you don't concern me." Snarled Diluc as he thrust his hips forward making Aether sob loudly, and the vigilante's fingers tightened into his small hips in a steel grip. "Hm! I can't help but worry about you, fighting gods and harbingers…"

"Ah… Diluc!" Aether whined as Diluc thrusted into him and felt drool drip down his chin as their hips collided with an echoing blow, the stretch felt amazing as he was filled. His legs trembled as the pyro master fucked him against the leather spines of old tombs and novels with no hesitation, his own manhood wept a single pearl of cum as he was fucked relentlessly. He anticipated that he was going to cum with just his prostate being nudged. "Diluc, I…"

Aether broke into a keening hum as Diluc tugged at the band holding his plait making his hair fall loose in silky waves. Diluc fisted the back of his head making his roots pull tight, and twisted Aether's head to the side. His maroon eyes stared down into his golden ones as they both panted, he showed no intention to do anything other than plough into Aether and watch his face as he fell apart.

This was better than Aether could have… and had… imagined. When he first laid eyes on Diluc he found himself enthralled, watching the other man's every move and hanging onto every silky spoken word. And he realised he had a crush when he watched Diluc dance through the sky surrounded in flames while fending off monsters from the Abyss in the shadows of Mondstadt.

Diluc watched the emotions washing over Aether's face and his frown softened slightly. He was still mad that the traveller didn't tell him of his injuries, but seeing the dark cuts and bruises made him want to devastate Aether's skin with his own. He gave a moan when Aether tightened up and couldn't remove his eyes as he watched Aether's face widen. The bookshelf of coated in white making Diluc lick his lips.

He saw the way Aether's eyes followed his tongue and had to chuckle, "Do you want me to kiss you?"

"Hm… please Diluc… I want you."

"Achons!" Diluc didn't expect Aether to reply with such desperation and he felt himself shudder. The beautiful youth, who had fallen from the very stars and fought alongside and against gods, was at his complete control and was now looking at him with hazy affection.

The man wasn't blind… and it was impossible to ignore the little doe eyes sent his way, especially when Kaeya snidely mentioned it whenever they were alone in the pub after closing hours. But Diluc believed he would never fall prey to such human emotions… he had found a friend in Aether, friends were few in his life who were as honest and kind as the outsider. He didn't want to ruin it with some small moment of fancy…

Diluc's hips lost rhythm for a moment as the tight walls around him clenched when his lips descended, their kiss was a mess as they fought each other with their tongues. But soon, he picked up the pace to chase down his own final bliss and moaned deeply when he felt his lower body clench up. He was going to cum very soon and in response he tightened his arm around Aether making them whimper and melt into him eagerly.

Thrust. Bang. Moan. Drip…

The sounds that filled the room were so sensual it had the head burn around Diluc's neck and he had the desire to loosen his collar. But to stop now was not something he wanted… no… he wanted to fill up Aether, show him just how much he actually matters to Diluc. Show him that it was ok for Diluc to know what ails him.

To give him more trust.

When Diluc came, he did it with a deep resounding growl from his chest and he held Aether still as they squirmed making cum bubble out. "S-Shit… Aether…" Diluc gave Aether's face several kisses with no pre-planned pattern, "You look so beautiful."

Aether's already flushed face turned a shade of red that resembled apples, "T-Thank you!" His words broke into a long whine and arched as Diluc pulled his semi-limp manhood out to the tip, only to be spun around and pushed into again. He wrapped his shuddering legs around the man's waist pulling him deeper with a small moan. Diluc had a small feeling he could go again very soon, but he was enjoying being surrounded by Aether's wet warmth so he decided to use the outworlder as a cocksleeve until then.

Carrying Aether like the lean boy weighed nothing, Diluc sat down at the desk's large table and pulled Aether close as it fearing they would vanish just as quickly as he appeared in Diluc's life. Eagerly Aether leaned forward and wrapped himself around Diluc, snuggling his nose against the man's neck sending a small shiver through him.

"That was… amazing…"

With a small chuckle Diluc agreed, "It was… I only fear what changes in the future."

His concern was met with wide doe-like eyes and his heart clenched, "D-Does it change anything? O-O-Our friendship won't end, will it?"

"You… want to continue our friendship?" A refreshing relief washed over him, "Yes, Archons! I was worried this would put a rift between us."

"Never! Don't be stupid." Aether wrapped his arms tighter around Diluc's neck and hid his face in his neck again, his ears flushed as he tried to word his next point. "I hope… that this actually… uh…"

"I want to spend more time with you, Aether." Diluc decided to help Aether come to a conclusion, "I want to have more nights with you in my arms, spending dinner with you, going for walks… all the time I have I want you part of it."

His words had Aether sniffing, "I want that too…"

A warm smile spread on Diluc's face, he couldn't remember the last time he smiled with such joy. He had noticed that in Aether's presence he couldn't help himself and it just made his heart beat with more affection. He reached up to cup Aether's cheeks and move his head back so he could stare down at the enthralling face, and his smile widened more when he saw the happy expression on the other. It was like he was in a whole other world.

"Aether…" He gave the youth a quick kiss before whispering as if fearing Aether would jump from his arms for these words, "I love you."

Tears welled up in Aether's eyes, but the emotions swimming behind them did not deter Diluc and instead made his heart feel like it was overflowing. "I-I love you too Diluc… I… this makes me so happy!"

They both shared a deeper kiss, this time it had control as they took it slow.

"One more time." Aether raised his brow at Diluc's words, before his mouth dropped down as Diluc lifted him at the hips to make him start riding the man. "One more… then I will take you to bed and replace those marks with my own."

A shiver rushed through Aether at the possessive promise and moaned as he began to roll his hips at his own accord. His breath came out in struggling puffs when he watched Diluc fall apart beneath him. They were just as rushed as the first time to come to their final high and they both clenched each other as they came.

"I love you, Diluc."

"I love you too…"
