Work Text:
Ajax bit down on the charcoal pencil between his teeth as he kept his eyes on his classmate and best friend, Aether, who kept talking about his date with a guy from another class over the weekend; But honestly, the ginger couldn't care less.
And it wasn't because he was upset or bored, dammit, he loved senseless his best friend; But because Monday had finally arrived, and he couldn't be happier with that simple fact. Although everyone else hated that day, for Ajax it was the best since only on Mondays could he see his beloved History teacher; Zhongli.
Just thinking about the guy made Ajax's cheeks turn red; Cute dark locks that covered his slanted pretty eyes unless he tucked them behind his ear, naturally rosy cheeks that made his eyes crescent when he smiled, and slender lips that looked oh so delicious to the ginger's eyes. Going down his pale neck with which he has fantasized millions of times about filling it with marks until reaching his narrow delicate shoulders, not to mention his slim waist that stands out every time the teacher arrived with his shirt tucked inside his pants, and oh god, his legs looked sculpted, so slender, so perfect.
Zhongli hurts Ajax's heart!
He was going to sue him, not for being so perfect, but for not being able to touch him and shower him with kisses like he oh so much wanted to.
As if the universe was pulling a prank on him, the door opened in the middle of the mess that was his room at that moment to show the owner of all his sighs.
"Next time, you better tell me you were fantasizing about the teacher so I don't lose my saliva, hum." Aether groaned playfully as he smacked his best friend's arm before scampering to his own seat.
Just as the blonde one did, everyone else in the room returned to their seats and settled down, although the usual murmuring could still be heard from the back.
"Good morning students." The teacher beamed as he walked over to the desk.
"Good morning, Professor Zhongli." Responded in monotonous unison all the students, accustomed to that song.
"Okay, I'll pass the record so please, everyone keep an eye out for your names." Zhongli commented as he sat at the desk and took the notes out of his briefcase.
And so, in alphabetical order, the dark haired male was calling each and every one of his students.
"Ajax." he called, waiting for an answer.
However, he did not receive an answer because the aforementioned could not stop thinking about how much he liked to hear how the older pronounced his name oh so sweetly. He decided to keep quiet just so he could hear just it one more time.
"Ajax?" He repeated insistently, looking for him among the students.
"Present." He finally decided to answer.
He couldn't help but smile when he saw how the professor chuckled, surely thinking about how distracted he was; And Ajax couldn't be happier, because he knew that tender little smile had been just for him.
After a few more names, he finally closed the log and put it back in his briefcase.
"This day we are going to..." Zhongli started, however, stopped mid-sentence. "Oh, heaven..." he complained loudly.
"Is something wrong, teacher?" Lumine, Aether's sister, asked, looking up worriedly.
"Oh, no, no... It's okay, young one. It's just that I'm a little bit forgetful." Zhongli smiled, trying not to worry his students with that little problem.
However, it didn't go unnoticed by Ajax how the elder ran his slender fingers nervously through his dark locks as he pursed his lips into a pout.
...Godness, teacher... Aren't you tired of being so adorable? You make it so hard for me not to corner you against a wall or your desk and eat you out in front of everyone here.
After a while, Zhongli let out a long sigh, turning his gaze to the older teenagers, or rather, the young adults.
"I need one of you to come with me to get the materials for today's class at the depository." he asked, looking at them. "I forgot to look for them beforehand, and since there are too many... I need help."
"I'll help, Professor." Ajax quickly raised his hand.
Not even in his wildest dreams could he have passed up the chance to be alone with his cute older teacher.
Let alone let someone else be locked in four closed walls with sweet innocent Zhongli? Never. If Ajax could help him, he definitely would. This was an opportunity he wasn't sure he could get again.
"Thank you very much, Ajax." Zhongli sighed seeing that he didn't have to choose for himself, pleased that one of his students was there for him. "Well, I'll be back soon, so I hope I don't get complaints from other rooms that you were making too much noise or I'll drop an extra project for the weekend."
Although the bustle of youngsters began to boo and show their disapproval of having to put up with more work, Ajax thought as he got up from the seat how cute his teacher sounded trying to assert his position as his superior.
Was it wrong for him to see him as an equal? Or worse, was it wrong to want to dominate him even as a simple student?
He walked towards the older one, who gave him one of those tender grateful smiles that Ajax loved oh so much, in which his cute eyes turned into a half moon thanks to his pretty pink cheeks;
Why did he have to be so irresistible?
Both left the classroom, closing the door behind them and began to walk through the halls of the institution in a comfortable silence, greeting teachers and students who passed by from time to time.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Ajax." he said, a sweet little smile still decorating his pretty lips as he broke the silence. " I'd be lying if I say I expected this from you."
"Oh, xiansheng, that hurts me." The younger dramatized while taking a hand to his chest, making up an offended playful expression. "Seeing how small you are, I couldn't help but come to the rescue."
" s-small?" Zhongli stammered as he felt how the reddish tones colored his pretty cheeks. "Mr. Ajax, I must ask of you to respect your elders. I easily surpass you by a lifetime."
"But you do not." He answered, loving being the cause of his reddened cheeks.
"Are you sure about that? Hmm, I wouldn't be... "
"Xiansheng, you are only five years older than me and I have one month left to graduate." He rolled his eyes, happy nonetheless to be talking to the dark haired one alone.
"Oh, that's true. How do you know my age, anyways?" Zhongli asked curiously as he turned to look at him.
"You said it once at class. It's been... About two or three weeks, if I'm not mistaken. While we were all finishing some lecture, you started rambling about your life. " He answered, pretty sure of what he said.
And Zhongli couldn't have been more surprised; He was sure the students didn't care about their teachers' stories, just glad they started talking so precious class time would be lost.
"You really are a case..." he sighed.
"Xiansheng!" He reproached between laughs.
Between friendly and playful talks, nothing out of place for a relationship like the one they had, they continued on their way to the warehouse in search of the teacher's materials.
After asking the janitor for the key, Zhongli opened the somewhat rusty warehouse door with a creaking sound; The place smelled of paper, and it was a small multipurpose room with columns and shelves on each wall, which were full of books, colored paper, cardboard, folders, and utensils such as pencils, scissors, rulers, compasses, amongst others. Aside from a lost-and-found corner that anyone could drop by, and a narrow white closet that had nothing in it.
That closet had been removed from the computer room since it was not necessary, and ever since it was kept there for free use in case it was required.
The space was a bit cramped because of the columns, and Ajax was more than comfortable with that. He closed the door behind them both, which made Zhongli jump at the sound but didn't think anything of it.
"And what do you need, xiansheng?" Ajax asked, walking close behind.
"Just some old cardboards. Last week I asked you to write some short poetry about Liyue, didn't I?... So, I want to hang the best ones outside the classroom." He replied with a smile, in which Ajax could perceive the appreciation that the older one had for his work and students.
He could also understand why Zhongli needed help, since carrying a cardboard for each student must be heavy work.
"Hm... Also, Mr. Aj-" He was going to continue speaking, but the student cut him off.
"Just call me Ajax, please. " He corrected.
"Oh, well... If that is what you desire". Zhongli thought it was a bit strange, but didn't pay more attention than necessary to the matter. "Ajax, can you pass me the cardboards on that shelf?"
"Whatever you want me to do, Zhongli." Ajax smirked when he realized that he had taken the eldest by surprise with that response, while walking to the appointed place.
"... T-Thank you."
As Zhongli collected different pieces of cardboard throughout the warehouse, the student leaned against the closet to see just how the teacher's hips and legs moved as he walked from one side to the other, inevitably dragging his lower lip between his teeth.
"Say now, Zhongli, can I ask you something?"
"Oh, but you already did." he replied sarcastically.
"Oops, my bad, you know what I meant." he rolled his eyes as he plastered a sly smile on his face. "So, can I ask you three questions?"
"Touche. Go ahead, then."
"Do you have a partner, xiansheng?" He asked without embarrassment or stuttering, although it was not the same case for his teacher, who choked on his own saliva from the nervousness of answering that.
Wherever he looked, it seemed that his student was flirting with him. Although he tried to think that it was more about curiosity and not interest.
"N-No, Ajax. I am too focused on my work, books, and my students to be interested in that right now." Stuttering, he caressed the cardboard with his slender fingers in an attempt not to look nervous, hesitating whether or not to ask the next question. "And y-you? I see you have many girls that follow you around..."
The younger one shrugged disinterestedly.
"Too bad for them, I don't care anyways. I like men." He tested the waters to see how the dark haired would react to the idea of touching another male. "If it's by me, they can all go to hell one by one."
"Mr. Aj- Ajax, language." He corrected before sighing. "It is admirable that you can talk about your likes so freely. Not all people accept it, but I do and I support you wholeheartedly."
That had been so genuine, that Ajax felt like crying because of the luck he was having in a single day;
Tsaritsa, please let it not be a dream.
He thought.
"Have you ever thought about trying a man, xiansheng?" His raspy voice suddenly dropped four octaves, making Zhongli flinch.
The eldest gulped again as he felt his cheeks heat up for no real reason, leaving the answer hanging in the air as he began to count the cardboards and realized that they still weren't enough.
He saw one more scroll in one of the upper areas of the column, and clicked his tongue as he realized that it was too high to reach them. Of course, he could always ask Ajax, but his pride wouldn't allow him to ask for help with something so trivial.
The eldest walked towards the column and stood up on his tiptoes to try and reach the package, which he could brush with the tip of his fingers but couldn't exactly get.
The ginger, moved by the situation he was witnessing, silently walked behind Zhongli's back until he was cornered against the wall without noticing, being able to better compare his height that way.
Although he was touched and in good spirits, a guttural growl was born from his throat at the sight of the milky skin of the other's neck so close. It was teasing and yelling at the student to mark it, the scent of Zhongli's perfume reaching Ajax's and driving him crazy.
He needed to take advantage of this situation.
It was so wrong.
But fuck it.
Unable to resist it any longer, he subtly joined his lips to the nape of his neck to leave a butterfly kiss, feeling how his shorter body trembled in front of him from such a simple touch.
As if that wasn't enough, Zhongli was also sensitive.
"W-What do you think you're doing, A-Ajax?!" Zhongli stammered nervously as he turned on his heels to face the culprit of making his pulse rate pick up abruptly.
"Did I do something wrong, xiansheng? " Ajax questioned, tilting his head with false innocence, pretending to don't know what happened. "Excuse me, I didn't realize what's the matter."
The eldest loudly gulped by the proximity of the warm foreign body behind his, but that sensation was not unpleasant at all.
"N-It's okay, it's fine ..." He murmured, thinking that it had just been an accident, turning around to get up on tiptoe and try to reach the cardboard once again.
Poor lamb, he had fallen straight into the wolf's jaws.
Without warning, wet kisses began to trail down Zhongli's neck, so he tried to turn away in panic but was caught firmly by his student's veined hands holding his slim waist, causing him to shiver as he was pressed demandingly against the shelf.
"M-Mr. Aj-Ajax-... " Zhongli gasped as he felt the other's tongue warmly going down to his shoulder, making his legs falter. " S-Stop... "
"Oh, xiansheng... How could I stop if you're reacting so cute?" Ajax murmured against the skin of the older one's neck, enjoying seeing how his hairs stood on end. "You didn't answer my question, did you now?... if you wanted to try a man..."
He began to leave a path of demanding kisses along the older man's neck, enjoying the sweet taste of him as he licked, seeing how his dermis was lightly marked thanks to his bites and suctions; Which weren't strong enough to leave hickeys. It was too soon for that.
The dark haired one was in a trance of gasps and low moans, flinching and arching his back every time his student found a new sensitive spot, making him feel dizzy. Much more because of the firm hands that imprisoned him against the column and caressed his groin, making him sigh.
"T-This is so wrong…" The teacher gasped, pushing his hips against the other's.
"But it feels good, doesn't it?" He murmured against the other's pink earlobe, running a playful lick down it before biting down.
The large hands that had previously been squeezing the eldest's waist began a path of caressing from the lower abdomen until they reached his chest, feeling how Zhongli trembled and whimpered sensitively to his touch.
Tsaritsa, forgive me for what I'm about to do. Thank you for this opportunity, I love you, I promise I'll go to church every Sunday.
Ajax thought as, without stopping his kisses and licks, he used his hands to slowly unbutton the shirt of his teacher who had stopped resisting, delighted with the way his student was touching him.
The heat had become way too intense to bear and Zhongli's whining only worsened Ajax's situation, who finally unbuttoned the older man's shirt so he could directly touch the snowy skin of his chest.
Tired of not being able to look at his expressions, he turned the older around just to appreciate the mess he had caused;
His cheeks were tainted in a deep shade of red that he hadn't seen before, and his reddish lips were parted gasping for air -a bit bitten in an attempt to keep quiet -, his shirt was open and his dark eyes asked him, no, begged him to go on.
Ajax would normally have thought he had a good mental image for at least a month before he wanted more, but oh, how wrong he was.
It was not enough. He needed to bite down even more.
"E-Enough already, it's ina-inappropriate- A-Ah!" He groaned sharply as he felt Ajax descend the kisses from his neck to his collarbones, bending down so he could reach his chest and kiss there.
Zhongli felt his legs trembling like slime, and it felt so good to have the other's lips running over the sensitive points of his body, that for a second he wanted to think that they were just two lovebirds doing that in the warehouse.
"Xiansheng, you should start teaching anatomy." Ajax murmured, marking his skin while he shamelessly looked at the thin and naked torso of his teacher, which made him tremble even more. "But only if you let me be your only student."
"A-Ajax..." The older one gasped on a raspy voice, feeling hot the areas of his body which the ginger had attended, and needy on those that were missing.
"Xiansheng, I know I told you to call me Ajax, but if you prefer, you can call me mast- " He was going to finish his sentence with a long lick on the other's chest, however, the sound of the warehouse door opening put the senses of both to a thousand.
Ajax simply couldn't allow them to see his treasure intoxicated by emotions and pleasure, that image was one that only he could admire.
On Zhongli's part, he was terrified that they would find him in that state with his student; There was no way to find an excuse, he would just be fired, or worse.
Faster than the professor could think, Ajax took him by the hand and quickly pulled him into the closet with him, closing the door the moment the rusty storage door screeched.
"Are you sure you lost your coat at the campus, Xingqiu?" Someone said, entering the warehouse. "I think you left it at my house last night. "
"No way, Yunyun!" The other voice complained as they walked. "I'm sure that when I went to your house I didn't have my coat."
Ajax's strong hand were firmly pressing on his teacher's lips so that he wouldn't hyperventilate and keep quiet, the only thing they could hear inside that tight closet being the heavy breathing and the rapid beating of the other's heart.
At the realization that the other two voices hadn't yet noticed his presence, he slowly removed his hand from the teacher's seductive lips, lowering his gaze to see what kind of face he had on.
Ajax couldn't see him very well because of the darkness, but he could tell that his teary eyes were shining beautifully because of him.
And he couldn't have been more proud.
He was the one causing his pretty teacher to be panting and dizzy.
Him, just him.
Tsaritsa, I love you.
Unable to resist the temptation that was in front of his very own eyes, feeling his warm body glued to him thanks to the almost non-existent suffocating space, he let his lips search for the other's just like in one of his most precious dreams.
Ajax could have died the instant he felt his teacher returning the hungry kiss, moving and crashing their lips at the same pace. They fitted together perfectly like puzzle pieces, and Ajax couldn't control his hunger anymore.
He took his thumb to the other's chin to press it and make him open his lips, which he bit gently before allowing his tongue to slip between the opposing lips.
The explosion of feelings as they let their tongues play and push each other was suffocating, especially when they couldn't make a noise since they still heard the voices of the other two outside the warehouse.
They let their wet muscles explore each other's buccal cavity in a heated battle that neither was meant to win, but to enjoy. The student's hands continued to explore the naked abdomen of his teacher, while he entangled his fingers in the other's ginger scalp, allowing himself to be taken apart submissively.
"YunYun, I can't find it!~" The boy outside the closet complained in a pout. "And it was my favorite coat too!"
" Hey, now-... I'm not kidding when I say I sure saw it on my nightstand." The other voice answered.
"And why didn't you say so before?"
Knowing that Zhongli couldn't resist moaning for much longer, Ajax continued to play with him by blatantly exploring his torso, causing him to squirm and bite his lip in an attempt to suppress his gasps.
Could he be any cuter? Damn, Zhongli was sin personified.
"Did you hear something, Xingqiu?" The voice from outside asked, frowning, as he could have sworn he heard something weird thanks to his keen sense of hearing. "It seems to have come from the closet."
"Ooh! Do you think it could be the demons you're always talking about?" The other laughed without paying attention to him since he hadn't heard anything. "Ohh, Yunyun, that scares me, you must sleep with me tonight."
" Ugh, you are teasing me now, aren't you?..." He rolled his eyes. "Come on, let's get out of this place. It's too hot here."
A few more words, and the sweaty young men inside the closet could make out the creak of the storage door opening before closing once again.
They quickly separated between gasps with a fine thread of spit still connecting their mouths, so the older planted a quick kiss on the younger's lips before quickly opening the closet door.
"I was going to die in there!" The professor pouted as he quickly came out of the closet, fanning himself with whatever he found laying around. "What kind of ideas do you have, huh, Ajax?!"
The ginger rolled his eyes before chuckling as he came out of the closet aswell, seeing how his adorable teacher lay with a fine beaded sheen of sweat and his shirt still open.
"It was a do or die situation." he clicked his tongue, teasing him. "Modern problems require modern solutions."
The older one rolled his eyes with a smile;
What was he going to do with this child?
Zhongli started buttoning his shirt again as he shook his head with a satisfied smile on his lips; He felt so dirty because he had allowed himself to be eaten by his student, and the worst thing is that he would do it a thousand times more; In bathrooms, in empty classrooms, against a wall or desk.
"Let me help you reach that high cardboard." Ajax laughed as he approached to take the cause of the whole situation.
"Hm... You know? If you had initially helped me out instead of trying to eat my neck this would not have happened." the teacher smirked, letting go of his guiding role a bit.
"I'm glad to hear it. I know now I made the right decision." Ajax laughed back to annoy him.
Between jokes and silly comments, both fixed their hair and clothes to take the cardboards and finally leave that hot warehouse. Ajax tasted his teacher's lips one last time to make sure it wasn't a dream, before taking the opposing hand and get out of there.
"Oh, Ajax... Could you come with me to look for something else in the teacher's room? I think I forgot my glasses."
A sly smile formed on the taller's lips as he nodded with his gaze fixed on the teacher.
"The pleasure would be all mine, Xiansheng."
