[His eyes dart quickly to the Gumdrop, who's demanding more, and back to Aether. It almost seems like the little guy has possessed his friend, its demands being met with no resistance from Aether. Finally, through Childe's own drunkenness, he realizes that this was probably always going to be the end result, how Aether had been so standoffish with him during the carnival, how he'd enjoyed their dance so much earlier in the day, how it seemed to him like the traveler wanted him around so much so that he's let him stay at his place here more than he's slept at his own residence.
He'd suspected, but it's now that he knows how the traveler feels about him, and it's almost like a relief washes through him. He's not sure why, but Childe feels himself relax when his hair is brushed to the side, as his lips meet Aether's once more. Closing his eyes, he lets his jaw slack for that deeper kiss that Aether is searching for, falling backwards onto his back easily as they both indulge in one another.
Comrade...
Over and over, he lets his lips caress the other's, feeling a buzz in his chest that grows quickly and overwhelms him- it's as if he's been mesmerized by their contact. When they finally break, he looks up with half-lidded eyes, breath heavy but feeling as if he should be floating despite the weight on his chest.]
...I didn't realize you felt that way about me, comrade.
