GHOST HUNT (the Prequel)

Who: YOU
Where: THE GAME TOWER
When: NOW!!!

[You arrive to the game tower where today, the atmosphere seems to be quite s~p~o~o~k~y. Fog seems to cover the entire floor area and any visible area of the tower is covered by things like (fake) spiderwebs and also (fake) spiders hanging around in (fake) trees.

It would probably feel a little more spookier if it wasn't for the fact that music is blaring throughout the tower. Someone is a host today, but it's impossible to tell whom considering they're covered in a white sheet with holes cut out for eyes.

Until they talk anyway.]

I GOT A ★~★~PROMOTION~★~★

To host the greatest haunted house party that you can imagine!! But w-w-w-wait, haunted houses are s-scary! I don't wanna make you guys get too scared so we'll start small . . .

Small . . . tiny . . . miniscule . . .

It's still gonna be dangerous though!! Ghosts are PRETTY uncontrollable, ya know~? I've seen SAWoleen XVI, I know how it goes!!

I adore it! Also I care so little about the opinion of others.

[We will say he’s holding his left hand so he can run his thumb over the ring on Five’s finger.]

I don’t believe I am more peaceful or more myself than I am with you. How lucky! A product of your very practical kindness.

[Once they get into his room he is going to start discarding his blood dried clothes.]

Well in that case. I'll keep being sneaky and take as many pictures as I can. Maybe I'll even share some with you.

[ his gaze lingers on those for a little too long, but he shakes himself out of that to follow suit ]

Wait for me here, I'll start the bath.

[He tosses the clothes into a bin before sitting on the couch, stretching and displaying him. Definitely trying to distract Five with embarrassment.]

Your company will be missed, my love, but I will endure somehow.

[ congratulations emet, it works, and his face does go red at seeing him put himself on display like that. But he will very quickly just clear his throat and disappear into the bathroom to start the water.

It'll take a bit more, but once he's done, he'll come get him - activating common law and reaching over to take emet into a princess carry ]

There we go.

[Mission accomplished. Not that he doesn’t like to embarrass him.

And he is absolutely thrilled at being carried and wraps his arms around his shoulders even though it is ridiculous.

While being carried, he does look at him fondly and possessively, truly appreciating how much stability and just wholesomeness Five Hargreeves brings to his life.]

You put extra bubbles in, correct?

Is that what that look is for...? Of course I did.

[ He leans in to kiss him on the lips, this time, short and gentle ]

I did tell you I was going to spoil you.

Of course. I do hope I am not shy about my desires.

[He nips back just lightly, content to just relax in his arms.]

And you are good on your word.

[ he gives him a small smile and then finally deposits him on the tub, joining him shortly after so he can take care of washing him, gentle, taking his time with it ]

I always am. Especially with you.

[He’s going to be a limp noodle, basking in it with sighs, but also stay close to him to give him a small touches here and there.

He does note the gentleness.]

I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.
I’m

[ There's a pause at that, and then he just rests his forehead against his, keeping quiet for a few moments ]

Good, because I'd have to come get you otherwise.

[It hits him hard knowing that Five would. Not that he hasn’t claimed it before, but it is awfully nice to be remembered.]

Might I use your own line against you? Just when I though in couldn’t possibly love your more, you prove me wrong.

[ he laughs at that, and then shifts so he can kiss his forehead instead ]

Something else we keep trying to one-up each other with.

You always did enjoy overachieving and in this I can be bothered.

[He closes his eyes and wraps one arm around him so he can stroke his fingers up and down his back. It’s a soft gesture, slow, both reaffirming and marveling that he is there.]

And I am going to keep you forever. I would be a fool not to.

[ that's nice, because as always he enjoys the closeness, and of course he smiles at the words ]

Look at us. Being mushy again.

Truly?

[He leans towards him to kiss the scar on his neck.]

I was trying to go for possessive.

[ oh. His face goes red at that, and he clears his throat, trying to hide just how much that gets to him ]

Right. Well. That's nice too.

[He gathers him in his arms and in his lap even if he gets in the way of the pampering a bit. He kisses the top of his head softly.]

Speaking of possessiveness. Is Caeli yours? Or can I play with him without you? I wouldn’t want to overstep bounds or make you jealous.

[ He looks just as surprised by the question as he is when he gathers him in his lap, but he shakes that soon enough ]

Well, he's Zhongli's, not mine. You can play with him if he's receptive to it, which I'm pretty sure he must be, given how much he liked messing with you when we were together.

So long as you two don't end up leaving me behind.

I will ask Zhongli then as well.

Though I am quite certain when it comes to that kind of play, I will be the one in the dust and be encouraging from afar.

My strongest desire will ever burn for you. Even before the rings ‘twas your company I craved. That has not changed.

I know I'm your favourite.

[ He'll bring his hand to his chin and then lean in to kiss him ]

I'm glad if you two get along.

[He kisses him back a little more roughly than intended.]

Even if we were not, you hardly need my approval for your friends. But I can see the appeal he has.

[He laughs a little.]

I suppose I would not be asking if I did not get along with him. And even though he might belong to Zhongli I see him as more yours than mine, and I would not overstep that boundary.

And perhaps we can figure out how to stop him from draining his aether to power his abilities.

[ Oh. That's surprising - it's usually childe who pushes things even when he's in this body, but he certainly doesn't mind Emet kissing him. There's a soft, please hum against his lips, and he licks them once he pulls away ]

I'm more worried about what leaving you two to your own devices will do in regards to you scheming against me, but other than that, I have no issues.

And yes. I fully intend on using your help for that.

We will scheme against you regardless. Of that you have no refuge.

[He does watch his lips carefully noting each movement.]

Now that’s just being a tease. One in which I would invite and take advantage of readily. However, I feel as if I should ask about any lingering unpleasantness from the game first as I won’t be in a frame of mind to ask after.

I see he's already being a bad influence over you.

[ he'll rest against that at the question, though, quiet for a few moments ]

You're the one who got stabbed multiple times, not me. But I'll admit it hit a bit harder than I expected. All of it.

He has the affect on you, does he not? It is one of his charm points.

[He brushes his hair tugging him so he can listen to his heartbeat.]

Physical injuries never stay with me long. Soon they will be forgotten.

But it never gets easy to watch those we love get hurt. Even when logically you know these wounds will heal.

Setting our dear Zhongli on fire was rather rude though he seems to have handled it fine. But I still worry for you.
