A/N: Another Nahida lewd~ This one of a more Halloween variety~

Do enjoy~

My Sage

Nahida didn't leave Sumeru often.

For most of her existence that was because of the whole, y'know, imprisonment thing. However even after she was freed and able to tour Sumeru at her leisure she still wasn't able to leave the nation itself – too much had to be done and while few would begrudge her for taking some time to herself, she was just too kind a person to sacrifice even a moment of work for her people, especially after being under the thumb of the Sages for so long.

However with a bit of convincing Aether was able to coax her away from her home nation if only for a night or two. The two of them had gotten quite close ever since she had been freed from the Sages, and due to her position as an Archon – a somewhat tenuous position given all the recent havoc wrecked in Sumeru – they had to keep their relationship somewhat professional in the public eye. Friendly, yes, but nothing more than that. Last thing Nahida needed was a group of naysayers complaining about her playing favourites and using that as a means to disparage her.

However behind closed doors, with none to judge them and fewer to care, they were able to be more intimate with one another. Doubly so when he whisked her away from Sumeru entirely for a festival that Sumeru itself didn't celebrate – Halloween.

That was how they found themselves wandering the streets of Mondstadt on the final day of October. The entire city had been dolled up with various traditional decorations and themes – with a big theme of pumpkins and bats which, interestingly enough, was shared with Liyue but not Inazuma or Fontaine. Though he hadn't had the chance to enjoy Halloween in Fontaine yet from what Furina had told him they tended to put more of a focus on pearls with lights in them instead of pumpkins since they didn't grow as easily there. Likewise Inazuma tended to use strings of lavender melons or other traditional means of celebrating the big day.

Mondstadt on the other hand, due to tradition and ease of farming, went with pumpkins – with most turned into jack-o'-lanterns. They lined the corners of street to illuminate people's way, they stood on street corners as dutiful watchmen, sat behind shop windows or on stalls – a few could even be found on rooftops courtesy of an overeager Amber, along with a few splattered remnants from the few she dropped.

He made a mental note to remind her to clean them up, lest they start to rot tomorrow.

''It's so pretty, isn't it?''

Aether took his eyes off of the rooftops and lowered them to Nahida herself. She skipped just a step ahead of him, her candy basket wooden but carved and painted to look like an actual pumpkin, courtesy of Kaeya and his handy knifework. The Archon herself wore an adorable sleeveless orange dress reminiscent of her usual attire, accompanied by black puffy shorts and pumpkin-patterned socks that really sold the theme. Coupled with the black-orange witch hat a size too big for her head and she was endlessly endearing.

''Yeah, it really is.'' Aether agreed and offered her his hand.

With her hat he couldn't see her expression much but she way she hesitated for a second spoke of her embarrassment; and then her affection as she took his hand and squeezed it in thanks. Even despite her status being in a new land was a bit intimidating for her – less out of fear and more just uncertainty, mostly due to the cultural shifts and whatnot. Still she was adjusting better than most and the awe-inspiring atmosphere seemed to help take her mind off of things a little.

The best part? Since 'Lesser Lord Kusanali' had only recently come back to power proper, next to nobody even recognised her. She could skip about without even her hat on and nobody would think of her as a god strolling through the streets.

Something, he was keenly aware, was part of the reason she was enjoying herself so much – she didn't need to put up a strong front for her people, because her people weren't here. She didn't need to be wise and informed, because nobody expected her to. And likewise nobody would bother her when he was there – and with how many people he always ended up bringing back to Mondstadt after an adventure here or there, few batted an eye.

Though that didn't mean Nahida was free from attention entirely, least of all as they approached Good Hunter where Sara was handing out candy to those who told a good joke or riddle.

''Oh! Hello there Traveler, I wasn't expecting you to be here today.'' With a friendliness he'd come to expect Sara greeted him, her eyes quick to flit down to Nahida's diminutive form. ''Aw, and who's this cutie?''

Nahida had to tip her hat back to look up at the shopkeep, a small but genuine smile lighting up her features. ''Nahida. I'm from Sumeru.''

''That so? Not the first time you've brought friends from all the way over there, Traveler.'' Sara commented with a smile and leaned forwards onto the counter. ''Alrighty then Nahida, gimme your best joke or riddle.''

Nahida hummed, tapping her chin for only a moment before closing her eyes, her smile returning. ''I can fly like a bird not in the sky, which can always swim and always dry. I say goodbye at night and morning hi. I'm part of you, what am I?''

''Ooh, that's a good one...'' Sara drummed her fingers upon the wood, the noise joining the pleasant ambience around them – a group of laughing adventurers briefly drawing Aether's gaze over to them as they passed. ''Damn, that's a really good one. Got a hint?''

Nahida just smiled brightly and nodded. ''I follow and lead as you pass, dress yourself in black my darkness lasts, I flee the light but without the sun your view of me would be gone.''

Sara fidgeted, practically biting her nails as she wracked her brain – but, inevitably, came up short. ''Nada, I can't think of anything.''

''Your shadow.'' Nahida supplied.

Sara made a noise of astonishment. ''I'd have never guessed that – I was more leaning towards Hilichurl or maybe Geo Slimes. Pretty smart riddle you've got there.''

''Heehee, thank you~''

''Heh, and as promised...'' Plucking up a ladle Sara dipped it into a large cast iron pot – but instead of soup a large spoonful of wrapped candies came out.

Nahida's eyes practically sparkled at the sight and she held her bucket out, almost innocent as a rain of candies and sweets filled it up. ''T-Thank you!''

''Hehe, you're welcome dear.'' Sara warmly remarked before lifting her gaze onto Aether himself. ''Will you be telling a riddle too Traveller?''

''Aha... I don't think I can top Nahida, so nah.'' He shook his head and lifted his own bucket, which was nearly full already. ''Plus I've got my fair share already.''

''As you wish. I do hope you'll tell me a riddle next year though~'' Sara sang.

Aether chuckled and agreed before following after Nahida as she meandered away from Good Hunter, allowing those behind them in line to have a turn too. The side streets were quieter than the main one naturally but even then the atmosphere was hard to miss, be it the distant voices of trick-or-treaters or the cawing of crows to even just the gentle howl of wind through festive wind chimes.

''...I probably shouldn't eat this much candy all at once.'' Nahida's softly-spoken comment drew his eyes down to her. ''But... indulging for just one night wouldn't do any harm, right?''

''You'll be fine.'' Aether assured, plucking a candy from his own basket and popping it into his mouth. ''Hm, cherry.''

Nahida balanced her bucket over her arm and took one out too; peeling off the paper wrapper and popping the pink hard sweet between her lips. She hummed, eyes closing for a moment as she just savoured the taste, the treat doubtlessly swirled about her mouth judging by the muted click of sweet against teeth. ''Mm... raspberry.''

Aether resisted the urge to tease her, opting to just bask in the comfortable silence – the pair of them idly strolling through the city streets with no real destination in mind. A few people passed them by but everyone was having so much fun nobody stopped to chat, mercifully, giving the pair of them some modicum of privacy. He almost wished he told Sara who 'Nahida' really was, just to see the look on her face when she realised she asked for a riddle from the God of Wisdom.

He wouldn't do that since Nahida was supposed to be in disguise and enjoying her time away from her followers... but it would still be pretty funny to see.

''Hn. Judging by the smirk on your face your thinking of something mischievous again, Aether.''

Aether flushed and chuckled, unsurprised to find his partner eyeing him with disapproval. ''It wasn't anything bad?''

''...I'll take your word for it.'' She huffed, though any illusion of sternness was ruined the second she bit down on the hard sweet – bliss softening her visage as she tasted the syrupy, extra-sweet centre. ''Mmm...''

Smiling he said nothing and simply indulged in his own sweet; breaking it apart with his teeth to get at the gooey centre and consuming it bit by bit, the aftertaste lingering on his tongue pleasantly. Gradually the path ahead of them led up to the statue of Barbatos, a few people standing around chatting but for the most part the area was empty. With the night sky nearly bereft of clouds and the moon a full one it made for a beautiful scene, something Nahida silently agreed with as she wandered up to the statue.

''...thank you for permitting my presence here, Barbatos.'' Nahida whispered then.

''...you do know he's probably down at the bar right now, right?'' Aether dryly noted.

Nahida giggled. ''I recall you saying as much, yes. But as an Archon it only feels right to pay due respects.''

''Venti's not really the type to mind that sort of stuff, but I'm sure he'll appreciate the gesture nonetheless.''

''I hope so.'' Clutching at her basket Nahida turned to face him. ''By the way is there anywhere... private, we could go?''

The slight hint of demurity to her tone made him flush, as did the slight suggestiveness that quirked her lips up; clearly wanting more than just a quiet place. Nonetheless Aether hummed softly and took her hand, a simple teleport bringing both them and their candies away from the open plaza – and instead up to the rooftop of the Knights of Favonius HQ. The high walls coupled with the perpetually-locked door made it arguably the most private place in Mondstadt that wasn't indoors.

More than that though it also offered a beautiful view of the skies above. Something Nahida clearly appreciated as she sat down on the ground and beckoned him to join her – something he did, his back touching the wall and his little witch pulled onto his lap. Nahida giggled and snuggled back into him, her hat taken off just so she could look up at him, her smile so warm and affectionate it was flustering to see.

During his journey through Teyvat he'd met a lot of people, some of whom he'd even consider close companions – but among them all Nahida stood above them. Perhaps it was her centuries of wisdom that built that connection, maybe it was because she understood what it was like to be separated from those you cared for, who knows. All he knew was that she among all others he felt closer to, and she in turn felt safest with him.

Considering that, wasn't it inevitable that they sought intimacy in one another?

''Aether...'' Laying her hand atop his own she brought it to her stomach, her other setting her candy bucket next to his own.

Smiling in return he let her shift around to face him, her cute visage dusted pink with embarrassment, but there was no shame nor hesitation to be found in her eyes – just an overabundance of affection that shone through as she cupped his cheeks, the distance shrinking until their lips connected in a slow, almost chaste kiss.

It was a gentle thing, one they drew out over seconds before drawing apart only to ease back into another kiss just as quick. Aether hummed into it, left hand on her side and the other settling on her rear, pulling her in close even as Nahida wound her arms around his nape – their closeness only encouraging them to deepen the kiss, to indulge in their intoxicating romance. Just feeling her small lips against his own was still a novelty in its own right, no matter how many times it happened.

A sentiment seemingly shared by Nahida herself. Though she drew away from the kiss first she did so only long enough to catch her breath before quickly leaning back in, her earnestness shining through as she mashed her lips against his own – mewling when he gave her butt a squeeze. Though his touch was light she craved it openly; humming approvingly when his other hand slid down to her rear and caressed it, his touch alone making her excited.

''Mm... Aether...'' Nahida breathed against his lips, her voice taking on a slight whimper.

He couldn't deny how aroused it made him, a shiver dancing up his spine as he brought his hand around to her front, his fingers dipping under the waistband of her shorts and pulling them down. She didn't stop him, shifting even to help him get them around her knees and allowing him to tug her panties down too, leaving nothing to hide her smooth nether regions. His fingers stroked along her lips teasingly, grazing her skin more than he did touch it and earning himself another whimper from the god on his lap, her hips rocking and grinding herself onto his fingers.

In response Aether pressed his digits up, stroking her off without penetrating her quite yet – but even that was enough to make Nahida moan under her breath, the sound quickly stifled by their next kiss. She groaned into it and he prodded her teeth with his tongue, easily convincing them to part and enabling his tongue to slither past her lips, tangling with her own in a messy, saliva-rich tongue war, the taste of cherry and raspberry shared between them both.

The need to breathe eventually drew them apart but no more than a few seconds passed before they were kissing again; their mashing lips doing only so much to muffle Nahida's moan as he rubbed her off, his fingers quickly becoming wet with the Archon's nectar. He teased her entrance, his fingertips probing and pushing, eliciting a little whimper from the goddess herself – until two fingers sunk inside, eliciting a gasp from her lips.

''A-Ahh, yes...'' Clutching onto his shoulders Nahida pushed herself down onto his fingers; moaning as he pushed them about her insides. ''My Sage...''

The title, whispered with such adoring love, sent shivers of excitement dancing along his skin. Without a word he drew her back into a kiss, his fingers pistoning up into her narrow pussy with renewed vigour – thrusting along her wettening walls and making Nahida gasp softly or tighten around him, sometimes both; the little lewd noises she let out only emboldening his fingers to tease her all the more.

Be it a curl, a scissor or blind thrusting every gesture made her twitch – her small fingers soon clutching at his hair and yanking him into a more assertive kiss. He reciprocated wholeheartedly, groaning even as her free hand blindly palmed at his crotch, feeling his erection through his tight-fitting pants. Yet she showed no embarrassment nor shock, if anything she seemed happy that he was aroused by her – stroking him off more even as he returned the favour with his thrusting fingers.

Her nectar lubed his fingers abundantly and helped with that, her juices slick and sticky between his two digits. Yet still Aether craved more; the thought prompting him to nudge her hip and convince Nahida to turn around, a soft moan escaping his lower as she sat back down on his lap – leaning against him and opening her legs without protest, allowing him to finger her even easier. The inability to kiss was bothersome but in that moment he didn't mind; kissing the top of her head instead as he jammed his fingers knuckle-deep in her tightness.

''A-Ahh, Aether~'' Nahida whimpered out.

He kissed her head again. ''Ssh, not so loud.''

Understanding was audible in the goddess's ensuing groan, but with some effort she kept her voice to herself – only softer gasps and littler whimpers fleeing Nahida, even as his fingers pumped between her glistening lips with growing haste. He could feel her body responding to his ministrations, her breathing becoming shallow yet quick whilst her free hand reached out and took his own; holding his hand for comfort even as he furiously worked her up, her pussy weeping with every flick and rub.

Tilting his head he kissed his way down her cheek and nibbled on her ear, the stimulation easily making Nahida arch her back, her breathing quickening. He kept up the pressure, his thumb grazing over her clit even as he fingered her, making her creamy thighs jerk and tense up. Her moans were absent, no breath left to make them as she desperately gasped, her insides clenching around his thrusting fingers as they delved into her soaking core-!

''A-Aeth- nnynn...!''

At the last moment Nahida pursed her lips, quenching her cry into a muffled, strangled noise even as she threw her head back against his shoulder, thrashing in her throes of bliss. Her legs spread wide and clamped shut around his arm but he kept fingering her through her climax, overstimulating his precious Archon and making her gasp desperately for mercy, her eyes wide open yet unseeing, such was her euphoria.

Little by little he slowed his fingers, his thrusts becoming slower pumps and then ceasing altogether as her orgasm did the same. The moment he pulled his fingers out Nahida practically went limp against him, quivering and mewling in utter bliss from the orgasm he'd given her. Aether smiled at that, kissing her cheek and gently rubbing her pussy – his touch alone making her flinch and shudder with how sensitive she was down there.

''Myn... my Sage...'' Nahida breathed out and twisted around to face him, big eyes full of love gazing upon him. ''May we...?''

She trailed off, shyness getting the best of her as it so often did, but with an encouraging smile Aether whispered his encouragement – a light peck on the lips helping with that. Smiling endearingly Nahida twisted around and, with some effort, sat up on her knees and straddled his lap. Her shorts came off with naught but a tug and left her bottomless, her dress barely hiding her groin as she positioned herself above his.

Undoing his belt he loosened his pants and brought them down to his knees, his underwear following suit and allowing his erection to spring out, stiff and aching after she'd rubbed it. Even though she'd seen it numerous times Nahida still flushed at the sight of it, her eyes glued to his manhood and one hand grasping it, helping position herself directly above it. Once upon a time acts such as this would be quite difficult, due to her being quite petite and him being above-average in size.

Such worries were far from her mind now though clearly as Nahida gently grinded her glistening slit on his tip, bit her lip – and with a soft, quivering moan impaled herself onto him. The tightness that clenched around his cock took his breath away and Aether could do naught but groan in bliss as she eased herself onto his shaft. Even with all the preparation she was still a very snug fit; her narrow pussy clamping around him yet not stopping Nahida from pushing herself onto his length.

''Nnh...'' Slowing to a stop Nahida paused for a breather. ''It's in...''

Aether hummed and stroked her lower back. ''You alright?''

''Mm!'' Despite their position she still gave him a sweet smile, gaze soft. ''It doesn't hurt like it used to.''

Before he could speak in reply she closed the distance first, her kiss light but easily convincing him to reciprocate. They broke it off after just a few moments and with hands on his shoulders Nahida started to ride him – her motions slow at first but steadily gaining momentum with every roll of her hips, impaling herself onto his cock with moans and mewls of delight. Moans he let out as well, intimately feeling his cock enter her wet tunnel and sink in deeper with every bounce, her tight grip threatening to purge him of all rational thought.

But like many times before he didn't succumb to wanton lust, to mad desire. Instead with a groan he ran his hands along her small behind or slim thighs, encouraging her with gropes and nudges, helping her pick up the pace. His own hips rocked as much as they could given the position, unable to buck lest it be too rough for Nahida yet still inching up just enough to make her moan shakily, her expression one of demure delight when her eyes opened.

''Ah, Aether...'' Taking his hand Nahida brought it to her cheek, letting her nuzzle it as she stared into his eyes. ''I love you.''

The profession might've been more innocent had she not been bouncing on his cock, but Aether smiled all the same. ''Love you too Nahida. Or should I start calling you my little radish?''

Nahida giggled. ''Don't be mean.''

Anything Aether wanted to say was lost to the moan that bubbled up his throat – her pussy tightening around him as she finally impaled herself fully on his dick. Nahida mewled with him, slowing for a brief second as the pleasure overwhelmed her before quickly picking up the pace once more, her wet lips grazing his shaft as she impaled herself onto him. He groaned in return, free hand gripping her pert ass and helping yank her onto his cock, feeling how tight she was becoming as she picked up the pace.

His eyes drifted to her mouth then, watching as it parted as she breathed – and of some unknown desire he stuck his thumb inside. Though surprised Nahida didn't protest it, and after a split-second started to suck on his thumb. Shudders danced up Aether's spine and his cock throbbed at the erotic sight, doubly so as Nahida looked him in the eye while submissively sucking on his thing, not protesting even as he ran it over her tongue and over the roof of her mouth, dominating her with his touch alone.

Her teeth grazed his thumb but even as she bounced onto his cock, as moans lurched up her throat and spasms made her jerk and tense she didn't bite down once, her eyes never losing that affection for him even as their loins smacked and slapped together. The noise of which only became louder as Nahida got more into it, any discomfort long since forgotten as she jammed herself down onto his dick, her moans taking on a higher, needier pitch with every breath.

''A-Ayythrr...'' Nahida moaned his name – his thumb slurring the enunciation into near-incomprehensibility.

Yet he understood, both her words and her meaning – intimately feeling her womanhood tighten around him, her climax nearing as was his own. With a grunt of acknowledgement he tugged his wet thumb from her mouth and held onto her hip, helping yank her down onto his dick and fucking a soft cry out of his lover, her arms finding their way around his neck and letting their lips graze but not meet, their hurried exchange of breath forewarning of their ends.

''Yes, yes...!'' The small Archon gasped, clutching onto him. ''Almost...!''

Aether felt himself near his limit, passing the point of no return as dire need surged up his length and stole his breath-!

And then he peaked, yanking Nahida into a kiss just as he busted his load inside of her – instantly drawing a squeal out of his lover as he made her cum with him. Intimately he felt her slick depths clench around him, strangling his cock even as he bucked his hips and slammed up into her, pumping gushes of cum into her innermost parts and making Nahida grind herself onto his dick, her tightness squeezing out every last spurt of semen she could.

Grunting between breaths Aether rode out the jittery waves of pleasure, his grip on her lower half tight but loosening as he came down from his high. Blinking away the spots from his vision he finally returned his focus onto Nahida herself, spying her breathless state and flushed visage – left almost dazed by the force of her orgasm. It was cute, doubly so when he pecked her on the nose and made her moan in surprise, her flustered expression endlessly endearing.

''...it's so hot inside me...'' Nahida breathed then, almost demure as she caressed her groin. ''Hehe...''

Rather than speak Aether claimed her lips in another kiss, one Nahida mewled into as she eased onto her back, tugging him with her. With hands on her hips he eased her onto the roof and laid atop her, a bit of shifting getting them into a more comfortable position. The height difference between them made it slightly awkward but neither protested, least of all as he propped himself up on his hands and pulled partway out.

Only to rut right back into Nahida. The Archon moaned his name and covered her mouth immediately after, silencing herself as a group passed by the HQ building – their laughter blinding them to Nahida's traitorous voice. Yet still Aether kept moving, lust driving his hips forth and making him bury his cock in her tight, clenching vice, a groan forced from his throat as he went balls-deep in her narrow pussy with every thrust.

''Mn, ah, nn...'' Softly Nahida moaned and screwed her eyes shut, her brow twitching each time he hilted himself inside of her.

He relished every little noise that slipped past her lips; his hands settling on her raised knees and holding them as he pistoned into her, feeling her body tense up as he filled her. With how soaked she was it was easier to penetrate her, his hips practically working on autopilot even as his gaze ran over her from her blissful expression to her glistening petals parted for his cock, the sight only making it hotter to rut forth into her.

Nahida mewled then; her legs shifting out of his grip and wrapping partway around his waist, unable to fully leg-lock him but doing her best. An effort he rewarded as he leaned over her once more, slowing long enough to plant a kiss upon her head before immediately picking up the pace – burying himself in her hot, tight tunnel and listening to her gasp and whimper, her grip on his top tight as he went to town on her.

'She's squeezing so tight.' He thought with a shudder, not daring to voice it lest someone overhear him say something so embarrassing. 'Frick...'

Instincts made him buck his hips harsher and Nahida gasped her enjoyment; not daring to speak lest she give their location away. He appreciated that, screwing his eyes shut and clutching at her lower back – lifting it slightly higher just so he could rut into her at just the right angle, his shaft scraping her quivering walls and making her voice crack as she cried out into a fist, shaking her head in some desperate fit to hold back her voice.

With how sensitive she was he wasn't surprised, though any thoughts of teasing her were quickly chased from his mind as her pussy strangled his cock – the sensation so heavenly it felt like every thrust could be the one to push him over the edge, his shaft twitching and throbbing as he shoved it deep inside of her. The riskiness of doing it outdoors too only made it more exciting, the risk of being caught in such a position just making him fuck Nahida harder, knowing the petite Archon could take it.

''Gonna cum again...!'' Aether warned.

Nahida seemed to tighten around him at that, her insides begging for another creampie. The sinful little thought just hastened his motions even further, ignoring the strain and fatigue aching at his hips as he rutted deep into the Archon, fucking the god like he owned her and making her gasp his name, her thighs pressing into his hips-!

And with a strangled growl Aether slammed into Nahida one last time, emptying his balls inside of the god and pushing her to her own orgasm. Just the thought added the icing to his orgasm, his body pressing down against her own as he unloaded spurt after spurt of semen into her depths, feeling her tightness wring it all out of him and leaving him bereft of thought – wondering, dimly, if this time their sinful little romp would get her knocked up.

He chased off the thought with a groan though, the tension seeping from his form and his hips rolling back, pulling him out of his lover. Nahida whimpered at his cock's absence but didn't protest as he laid down next to her; one arm looping around her and pulling her in for a quick but impassioned kiss.

''...thank you for taking me here tonight.'' Nahida whispered against his lips, her smile demure as she pulled away. ''I had a lot of fun.''

''The night's not over yet.'' Aether teased back.

Nahida hummed at that. ''Perhaps... though, I don't think I can walk after that.''

''I can just carry you though?''

''T-That'd be embarrassing...''

''Heh, you're so cute when you blush.''

Nahida's glare did little to cease his chuckles, nor did her cute little huff.

The kiss that followed, though, did. For a time, anyway.

A/N: I wonder if anyone can recognise where Nahida's riddle came from~
