Work Text:
Itto had not expected to come home at the end of the day to the scene he did.
There was his adorable boyfriend, sitting on the living room floor crying.
He was dressed in just his shorts and chest tape. The poor guy had his head hung low, face held in his hands as his flattened ears twitched.
Gorou knew he had planned to stay out late with the gang and was hoping he’d be able to pull himself together before his boyfriend got home but he must have left early.
“What’s wrong baby?” Itto asked with a concerned look on his face.
The oni set his things on the kitchen counter before walking towards the sad general.
Gorou sniffled, “It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
He tried to calm himself down so as not to make Itto concerned but his whimpering voice and shaking form gave him away.
“Honey, you’re crying on the living room floor. Of course I’m gonna worry.”
Gorou shrugged as his shoulders continued to shake.
“It’s okay. I’ll get over it,” he said as his lower lip quivered.
“It’s not okay,” Itto said with worried eyes.
The oni knelt down to meet his boyfriend where he was.
“Gorou, look at me.”
The general did as he was told, glancing up at his boyfriend with puffy red eyes from crying so much.
Itto gave a warm toothless smile.
“What do you need from me right now? Is there anything I could get you? Is work getting overwhelming? If someone’s picking on you again just tell me names and I’ll take care of it.”
Itto puffed up his chest to show he meant business to try to be funny and make him laugh but Gorou knew him well enough to know that he was genuinely mad over it.
Gorou watched as his boyfriend got visibly more angry and concerned by the second but didn’t want to show it. He used humor to cover up his feelings sometimes and, though most wouldn’t be able to see through it, Gorou could.
The oni hated seeing Gorou upset and even more so now by the fact that he was crying and appeared to be in genuine emotional distress.
He didn’t cry in front of Itto often but when it did happen, the oni would immediately drop whatever he was doing and do everything in his power to make him feel better.
“I’m sorry,” Gorou finally said as he tried not to choke up.
Itto’s eyes softened as he sadly looked at the upset man before him. Slowly sitting down and crossing his legs, the oni went to touch Gorou but stopped himself.
“Why are you apologizing?” Itto asked with a frown on his face.
“I’m just-” Gorou’s voice cracked and he started crying into his hands again.
“Hey, it’s okay. No more tears. Okay?”
Itto held his arms out and smiled a little to himself as he watched his boyfriend run into his embrace. The oni gave the smaller man a big enveloping hug, gently pulling him close and onto his lap bridal style.
“I’m really sorry you had to see me like this,” Gorou whispered into Itto’s chest as he cried.
“Don’t apologize for something you can’t control. Crying isn’t something you should be ashamed of doing in front of me. Arataki Itto is here now and that means you are sure to feel better.”
Gorou was holding onto the man’s chest as he cried even harder. His entire body was shaking like a leaf but started to slow when Itto held him in his warm embrace and stroked loving circles on his bare back.
After some time of staying like that, Itto spoke up.
“Do you wanna talk about it or would you rather we just sit here quietly?”
“It’s just,” Gorou sat up to look into his lover’s eyes, “I don’t know how to explain it to you.”
Gorou’s eyes were even more swollen and red then when the oni last looked at them. He didn’t pay mind to it though. All that mattered was being there for his boyfriend.
“You can just tell me what’s up. If I don’t understand you can explain it more. I’m here to listen.”
Gorou gave a sheepish nod, taking a deep breath before responding.
“I’m feeling more dysphoric today than usual is all.”
The larger of the two cocked his head in confusion.
“What’s that?” Itto asked.
“It’s okay that you don’t know. I don’t want to info dump you though so I’m going to keep this short.”
Gorou paused to take a deep breath.
“Basically it means I don’t like my body sometimes. I have the body of a biological female even though I identify as a man.”
“You’re using some big words little dude but what I think you’re saying is you don’t like your body because it’s not the parts you want. Is that right?”
Gorou nodded, “Yeah you get a basic idea of what I’m trying to say. I can explain it to you more tomorrow if you want.”
“Sounds good! I wanna learn more about this so I can best support you because I love and care about you.”
“Thank you Itto,” the smaller man said with a toothless smile.
“So, what can I do to help?”
Gorou sniffled then wrapped his arms around the oni’s neck.
“Right now all I need is a shoulder to cry on.”
“Understandable.”
The two held one another on the living room floor until Gorou’s breathing slowed and he wasn’t on and off crying anymore.
Gorou yawned, “I’m getting tired from all these emotions.”
“Want me to carry you to bed?”
Itto gave his boyfriend a peck on the cheek.
“Yes please,” Gorou asked in a small voice.
The oni did as told, standing up with his small boyfriend in his arms, headed towards the bedroom.
The bigger of the two opened the bedroom door with his open hand and stepped inside, closing it behind him.
Still holding his lover, Itto then went to pick up something for Gorou to wear when he stopped.
“All of your clean shirts are on the floor,” the oni stated, “Are they all dirty? Sorry, I said I was gonna do the laundry this week.”
“It’s okay, it’s my fault,” the smaller one stated, “I’ll clean everything in the morning,”
Though the statement wasn’t anything to be concerned about, there was something behind his voice that made Itto worry.
“Wait, why are all your clean shirts on the floor? You’re not the type to make a mess of the room, that's my job.”
“Yeah, sorry about the mess I promise it won’t happen again.”
“Don’t worry about it. I trash the place all the time and you never get mad at me.”
“Yeah, but that’s one of your many charms.”
Gorou gave a half hearted smile to try to cover up his inner feelings. This did not go unnoticed by Itto though as he had quickly learned how to read right through the general (even though the oni could be oblivious in nature).
“So why are just your shirts all over the place? Couldn’t find something to wear?”
Itto smiled but it turned to a frown when he saw his boyfriend’s shoulders slump.
“Well,” Gorou looked away from his boyfriend.
“Is there something else I should be worried about?”
Gorou stayed silent which only made the oni more concerned.
After a moment of silence, Itto spoke again with a worried look on his face.
“What’s going on? I wanna help.”
“So you know how I was talking about being dysphoric and not always feeling comfortable in my body?”
“Yeah,” the oni said in a calm tone of voice.
“And you know how I was working from home today with all that paperwork and such?”
“Yeah, I remember you telling me that when we were still in our jammies.”
“Well I was trying to find something comfortable to wear after you left to hang out with your friends and ended up making a mess of the room.”
He continued, “I took out all my clean shirts trying to find something that covered my chest fully but everything felt wrong for some reason.”
“What do you mean?” Itto asked, confused.
“The thing is, when I took my shirt off I didn’t like what I saw and it felt like it didn't matter what I wore, nothing felt right.”
Though he didn’t fully understand, the oni still nodded. It made some sense why if Gorou didn’t like his chest he’d want to cover it up.
“So what happened next?”
“I ended up wearing some random shirt but I couldn’t stop adjusting it all day. Luckily I was able to focus on my work and not think about it as much but when I was done, all the thoughts came flooding back.”
“I’m sorry you had to deal with that all day,” Itto told him.
Gorou shrugged, “Thanks,” he said simply.
“I don’t know,” the sad man continued, “Maybe I’m just tired from working all day. You know I sometimes work too hard. Maybe this is all just in my head and I should get over it.”
“Don’t say that,” Itto countered as he could tell his boyfriend was starting to get genuinely upset about it again.
“No, it’s fine. I just need to get over it and move on with my life.”
Itto frowned as his boyfriend’s shoulders slumped.
“I don’t know much about what’s going on but it sounds like this is something you can’t just ignore and move on from.”
“I know you’re right but it’s still difficult,” he sighed, “Maybe I am being too hard on myself.”
“Yeah! Would you rather we not talk about this right now? This seems to be making you sad again. Would you want to wear one of my shirts so it covers you up more?”
Gorou was still in his boyfriend’s muscular arms in just shorts and chest taped. He had taken his shirt off after work to try to find something else to wear but it just upset him further.
He finally couldn’t take it and had to leave the room hence how he ended up on the living room floor. Everything had just become too much for him but thankfully his boyfriend was here now.
Itto continued when his boyfriend didn’t respond.
“It might be nice to get cozy and cover up so you don’t have to see your chest anymore.”
“Yeah,” Gorou responded in a weak voice.
“Okay! Let me just clear off the bed first so you can get comfy.”
“Sure, thanks.”
Itto did as he said he would, picking up the shirts and placing them on a chair to put away later. He pulled the covers back and set his boyfriend down, bringing the blankets up so his legs were covered.
The oni then went and got one of his own shirts and handed it to the sad man.
“Here,” Itto said as he held it out.
Gorou gave a small toothless smile before taking it from his boyfriend, throwing it on before glancing back up at the oni before him.
“Thank you for everything.”
Itto smiled wide, “No problem little dude! The great Arataki Itto lives to take care of the one he loves!”
The comment warmed Gorou’s heart. He really did have the best boyfriend in all of Teyvat.
“I love you,” he said with a look of true love on his face.
“I love you too,” Itto gave his lover a kiss on the forehead before getting in bed next to him.
“Now, time to sleep. We can talk more tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay,” Gorou nodded as he shuffled over to press against the large oni.
“Hold me please?” Gorou asked softly.
“Of course,” Itto responded as he held his love close.
The two then drifted off in one anothers embrace, each getting a great night's sleep.
Just as promised, Gorou sat Itto down and explained his dysphoria in terms which could be easily understood by the oni.
They were at the dinner table as this went down so they could face one another. It was a casual yet serious conversation in that the topic was important to the both of them.
Itto held out his hand whenever his boyfriend was having a tough time continuing to comfort him.
Others hadn’t always been kind to Gorou for being trans which made talking about it kinda a sore subject.
Itto was aware of the past bullying but never understood why there were comments like how Gorou wasn’t a “real man.”
It had only happened a few times but that was a few times too many.
“I’m really glad you took the time to explain everything to me,” Itto said. “There is one more thing I wanna ask you though.”
“What’s that?” Gorou cocked his head slightly.
“So, I was thinking about what happened yesterday and wanna know if there’s anything I could do for you in moments like that. Ya know, like if you need anything in those moments. Even if you need more alone time, that's fine by me.”
“No, you were perfect. All I need is you.”
“Aww you do love me!” Itto half joked.
This made his boyfriend laugh. Itto liked to joke sometimes about them dating saying things like ‘Wait do you have a crush on me?’ just to mess with him.
“Of course I do, you idiot.”
Itto then cleared his throat, getting serious again (or as serious as the oni could as he was always a goofball).
“Okay, jokes aside. Do you wanna tell me what happened or would you rather we not talk about it?”
“No, it’s okay,” the short man said. “Actually, it might help to talk about it.”
“Okay! So, what happened?” Itto asked.
“Well, so once I was done with work, I decided to change shirts to see if it would make me feel better. Turns out it only made things worse as you could probably tell from how you found me.”
“Yeah I was not expecting that,” Itto said honestly, “But it’s okay now because the great Arataki Itto came to the rescue!”
Gorou laughed, “Oh thank you great Arataki Itto you’re my savior!”
The oni smirked, “Anytime little dude!”
Though they were joking around, Gorou knew Itto meant what he said. Everything would be okay as long as they were together.
“Anyways, back to what we were talking about,” Itto redirected the conversation. “What happened?”
“I mean, that’s basically it. I went to change but got upset and trashed the room.”
Itto gave a confused look, still not quite grasping the concept of dysphoria.
“But what does that have to do with you not liking your body? I love your body just the way it is but am starting to understand when you say you don’t.”
He paused, contemplating what he was going to say next as he didn’t want what he said to come across wrong.
“So, your chest is the problem and you don’t like seeing it because it upsets you. Is that right?”
“Yeah you got it. That’s why I tend to wear baggy shirts when I’m in the comfort of my home. I have to dress nice because of my position as a general but that doesn’t mean I always like to.”
A lightbulb then went off in Itto’s head. The dots were starting to connect even though it had taken a bit.
“Wait a second, is that why you put that weird tape stuff on your chest?”
Itto had seen his boyfriend shirtless many times in the past but never thought to question it until now. He wasn’t the type to overthink things like that. He just assumed it was for comfort to keep everything in place.
Though Itto slept and went about his life shirtless, the oni still had a normal amount of shirts for if they ever had company over or he had to go somewhere where shirts were required.
He wasn’t the type to question someone’s fashion sense so he never noticed the baggy fit of Gorou’s casual clothes.
Itto noticed his boyfriend was contemplating how he wanted to phrase what he was about to tell the oni. Obviously Itto had zero knowledge of what it meant to tape or bind ones chest so Gorou didn’t want to information overload him,
Finally, the man spoke.
“I put tape on my chest to flatten it. Since I don’t like my chest, I tape it so it looks more the way I want it to.”
“That makes sense,” Itto responded. “It’s so you can make your chest flat because you want a flat chest. I mean, as long as it’s safe I see no problem with it.”
“Don’t worry, I make sure to tape safely.”
“Good,” the oni said with a sigh of relief.
“Is there anything I could say or do to make you feel better about yourself? I know I’ll never fully understand what you’re going through but I wanna do everything I can to support you.”
Gorou thought for a second before responding.
“All I would need from you is a hug and maybe some reassuring words but you already know to do that.”
“Okay but if you ever think of anything you'll tell me okay.”
“I will,” the small man said with a nod of his head.
“Good because you know I’d do anything for you.”
Gorou nodded, “I know and I’d do the same for you.”
“I know. It’s because we’re madly in love with one another. I mean how could I not be so in love with you that it makes me crazy?” Itto said with a smirk.
“I love you, you goofball,” Gorou responded before a dirty thought crossed his mind.
“You know, there is something you could do to make me feel better.”
“There is?” Itto asked with a curious look on his face.
“Yeah, there is but we should probably wait until after I come home from work as it’ll be bound to completely exhaust me.”
Itto had no clue what he was talking about but did remember that the man had somewhere to go.
“Oh yeah, you have work today. You should get ready so you aren’t late. Can’t have the general himself be late you know. Lucky for you, you’re starting later than usual today which is good.”
“Yeah and I won’t be gone long. I just have a few meetings then I’ll be right back.”
Gorou stood up and started heading towards the bathroom.
Once he was all ready, the man waved goodbye to his boyfriend and was off to work.
The two lovers had a nice dinner at home once Gorou came home from work then they decided to sit on the couch side by side.
After a few minutes of relaxing silence, Itto spoke.
“So, what was it you were saying about something I could do to help you with your dysphoria?”
They faced one another, locking eyes before the short man responded.
“Um, well it’s a little embarrassing actually.”
Gorou was squirming in his spot, fidgeting with his fingers.
The oni couldn’t tell what was causing his boyfriend to act that way. The two were always one hundred percent honest with one another so why Gorou was hesitating he wasn’t sure.
Itto held out his hands and took Gorou’s in his. The size difference was obvious just by how the oni’s hands enveloped the ones which he held so dearly.
“Whatever it is I promise I won’t judge or be mean to you. You know that. I love you.”
Gorou nodded, “I know and I love you. Archons, this is just harder than I thought it was going to be.”
Itto gave his hands a light squeeze.
“You don’t have to tell me if you’re not ready or don’t actually want to.”
“I’m being stupid. I should just tell you already.”
“Okay I’m listening,” Itto said as he straightened his back.
“Now we don’t have to if you’re not in the mood but I was wondering if you’d want to fool around tonight.”
Gorou blushed a little at suggesting such a thing. It was nowhere near their first time together but being direct about his desires was embarrassing.
“Fool around?” the oni paused for a second before it hit him. “Oh, yeah that.”
“We don’t have to if you don’t want to. I was just thinking about times when I feel most comfortable in my body and realized it’s when I’m being intimate with you. But again, we don’t have to if you’re not in the mood.”
“What are you talking about? The great Arakaki Itto is always in the mood to do the nasty with his boyfriend.”
“Good,” Gorou said with a smile.
“But I wanna take care of you tonight.”
“You’re so sweet. I love you.”
“Love you too,” Itto said before giving his boyfriend a peck on the lips.
There was a short pause before Itto sprung up, turning to face the man still seated on the couch.
“Well what are you waiting for? Come on, let's take this to the bedroom!” Itto said giddily.
He grabbed his boyfriend’s hand and they headed off.
Once in the bedroom, the two started undressing.
Itto had taken off all his accessories and was in just his pants while he watched his boyfriend strip.
He could tell Gorou was trying to play down how excited he was about this by the way he fumbled out of his clothes.
It wasn’t long until Gorou was standing before his boyfriend in just his boxers.
He wasn’t one for being exposed and vulnerable in front of people but Itto was different. The oni was his other half and Gorou knew his boyfriend absolutely adored him.
“Wow,” Itto said with wide eyes, “You’re so handsome.”
Gorou blushed, “Thank you. So are you.”
“No, I mean you’re absolutely stunning. I could just eat you up.”
Itto paused as a mischievous smirk formed across his face.
“I might just have to eat you up ya know,” the cheeky oni said.
Thinking he was a genius for his word choice, Itto winked.
“Wow, you came up with that all on your own. I’m impressed.”
“I know right,” Itto puffed out his chest and grinned ear to ear.
“Well, what are you waiting for? If you wanna eat me out so badly why don’t you just get to it already?”
That’s all Itto needed to hear before he was walking towards his lover until he was standing right in front of him.
“You wanna do this standing up or on the bed?” Itto said as he placed his hands on the smaller male's waist.
“I want you on the bed over me while I scream your name.”
Itto’s cock stirred at the comment.
“Works for me,” he said with a cheeky smirk.
The oni pulled his boyfriend close and leaned down to connect their lips.
The kiss was passionate and desperate in that they were craving more. Itto placed a knee between Gorou’s legs who started humping into as he moaned.
“P-Please, I need more.”
Scooping him up, Itto carried his lover with their chests pressed together. The horny man wrapped his legs around and continued humping into his boyfriend, grinding his crotch into the oni’s pecs.
Itto brought and laid his lover on the bed, kneeling in front of his legs which Gorou slowly started to spread. He was still in just his boxers and taped but aside that he was bare.
“Is this okay?” Itto asked as he reached for the waistband of his lover’s boxers.
“Yes, just please hurry up. I can’t take this much longer.”
Gorou whimpered which made the oni smirk. He loved watching his boyfriend fall apart so fast. That’s why foreplay wasn’t much of a thing for them. Gorou couldn’t handle it.
Kissing up his thighs, Itto went for the smaller male’s waistband and eased it off, throwing the dampened fabric over his shoulder without a care in his mind.
What was unveiled was a throbbing cunt which had absolutely soaked through his boxers.
The way it glistened made the oni’s mouth water. Archons, was this going to be the best time of Itto’s life.
“You ready?” Itto said as his lips grazed his lover’s folds.
He was kneeling over his gorgeous boyfriend’s cunt, face between the man’s spread legs which he held onto to spread them further to better reach the pussy before him.
Gorou moaned loudly, eyes fluttering.
“Archons, please just start already.”
Itto smirked, letting out a breathy laugh which only made Gorou moan louder. Oh how he loved watching his boyfriend squirm.
Very carefully, Itto used his thumbs to pull back Gorou’s folds, making space for his tongue.
The oni found it both adorable and hot how just breathing against his lover’s cunt was making the smaller one lose his mind.
“P-Please,” the needy man whimpered, desperate for his lover’s tongue against his clit.
Itto almost felt bad for dragging this out (keyword almost as it was erotic to watch).
Finally, Itto’s tongue made contact with his lover’s clit. He kissed it softly, resulting in Gorou bucking his hips against his face.
“More, I need more. Archons, Itto please!” Gorou cried out.
Itto licked a stripe up his cunt until it reached his clit again, making his boyfriend shiver.
Gorou whined, crying out Itto’s name as he did so.
The oni then flicked his tongue back and forth against the aroused man’s clit, quickly gaining speed as he couldn’t seem to hold himself back anymore.
The lewd noises that came from Gorou was so hot it made Itto’s cock twitch in his pants.
“Please, please, please,” Gorou chanted, desperate for more.
When Itto pulled away, his lover started crying, begging for him to not stop.
The oni licked two of his fingers, coating them in his saliva before slowly inserting one inside his boyfriend.
Gorou squealed loudly, babbling on about how great it felt and how great Itto was.
The oni allowed his lover to adjust to the feeling before he slowly started moving his finger in and out of the man’s hole.
“F-Faster!” Gorou cried as tears started to pool.
Doing as he was told, Itto slowly gained speed until he was full on finger fucking the love of his life.
Throwing his head back, Gorou whined to the rhythm of the oni’s movements.
“I-Itto! Oh Archons, I love you!”
Itto raised his head just enough to reply.
“I love you too, my sweet Gorou.”
Itto gave a gentle kiss to the man’s clit as he finger fucked him which earned the oni an especially loud and lewd moan from the man below him.
The abuse he was putting that bundle of nerves inside Gorou was driving him mad. The clit kissing turned to intense tongue flicking.
One thing led to another before a second finger was inserted with the first and Gorou was rutting against Itto’s hand.
The noises Gorou made and the need for more was almost shameful as he cried out Itto’s name like a war chant.
His breathing was all over the place as his heart raced. He was a complete mess at this point but he couldn’t care less as the feeling of Itto’s fingers inside him was the best feeling in the world.
He tried to cover his mouth to muffle his sounds but couldn’t get himself to as he was panting so hard for breath.
The man was like an animal in heat with the way he rutted against his lover’s face, using his thighs to lock Itto’s face between them so he couldn’t escape.
Gorou threw his hands between his legs and grasped onto the back of Itto’s head, holding him down by his hair.
Itto couldn’t take it anymore. His dick was so hard it was starting to get genuinely uncomfortable. Not only that, the friction from the bed as he moved his hips was driving him wild.
Using his free hand, he spat into it before shoving it in his pants, stroking himself off.
His cock started beading with precum at the feeling of his own hand as it had waited so long to be touched.
Itto ate his boyfriend’s pussy like a champ, fingering him as he flicked his clit with his tongue.
The oni could eat Gorou’s pussy for the rest of his days.
The taste of his fluids was the best thing he’d ever tasted. The sound of his voice and feeling of his shaking thighs against the sides of his face was something he could never live without.
Itto could tell his boyfriend was close by the way his pussy was pulsating and his sobs were breaking. Not just that, the grip he had on Itto’s scalp was tightening as he grasped on in desperation.
Letting go of his locks, Gorou held his hand out for Itto to take.
“S-So close. Please, hold my hand.”
Itto removed his hand from his member, lifting said hand to hold onto his lover’s. Though his cock was begging to be touched, he didn’t care.
What mattered most was taking care of his darling boyfriend at this moment and if he wanted his hand held then that’s what he would get.
The oni hadn’t realized how close he was to cumming until he let go of his cock. It drove him crazy not getting to touch himself but not enough to let go of his lover’s hand.
His shivering and moaning was a sheer sign of Itto also getting close to his tipping point which Gorou took notice of.
This knowledge of the fact that his boyfriend was about to cum to eating him out made Gorou cry out. The sheer amount of pleasure was taking over and he knew he wouldn’t last much longer.
It wasn’t long before Gorou was cumming harder than he ever had before. He was sobbing and spasming as Itto helped him ride it out.
The oni was working as hard as he could, his movements fast and purposeful as he drank up the sweet tasting fluids of his lover.
Once Gorou was finished cumming, Itto let go of his hand to shove his own back down his pants, jerking off to the taste of his boyfriend’s fluids on his face and tongue.
The overstimulation and coming down from his high was overwhelming enough and yet Itto hadn’t stopped eating him out.
He was licking him clean of all his cum as he jacked off to the taste and feeling of his pussy in his face.
Itto came with a growl into his boyfriend’s cunt which made the man below him shiver from the overstimulation. The oni socked his boxers as his cum shot out of him.
As the two came down from their highs, Itto carefully removed himself from his lover’s shaking legs and drenched pussy.
The loss of Itto’s lips made Gorou’s eyes water. Oh how he wished it would’ve lasted forever.
Thankfully for him, Gorou found comfort in the words which his lover spoke in his ear.
“You did such a good job,” Itto whispered, “Such a good boy.”
Gorou whimpered as his boyfriend continued praising him for being so good for him and tasting so amazing.
After praising his lover, Itto flopped down next to the shivering man, pulling him close.
“I love you,” Itto said before kissing his boyfriend on the forehead.
“I love you too,” Gorou croaked out as his voice was sore from all the crying and moaning.
The two held one another close and relaxed into each other's embrace.
After some time just laying there, Itto got up and stretched.
“That sex was amazing!” Itto said with a smile on his face.
Gorou curled up into a ball, cold from the loss of his lover’s body heat.
“Come back. Please, I want you to hold me longer.”
“We gotta clean up though darling,” Itto said as he turned to face the man. “I’ll be right back I promise. Just let me go get something, okay?”
Gorou gave a weak nod, “Okay but don’t take too long.”
Itto nodded and headed out the room and down the hall to the kitchen.
He filled a cup with cold water and brought it to the exhausted man.
“Here’s some water for you. I’ll leave it on the nightstand.”
The oni set the glass next to his lover before giving him a peck on the cheek.
“Thank you,” the tired man said as he laid there.
“No problemo! I’m gonna rinse off real quick and let you relax. I’ll get the bath ready once I’m done. Sound good?”
Gorou nodded, head still on the pillow.
“Sweet, I’ll be right back.”
Itto headed off towards the bathroom, leaving his exhausted lover to rest.
It must have only been a few minutes before the oni reentered the bedroom with a towel around his waist and damp hair.
“Time to wash up,” he said with a smile, “I got the bath all ready for you.”
Gorou groaned, rolling over so his back was facing the oni.
“Let me sleep, I'm tired.”
“I’m not letting you sleep when you’re all yucky. Come on, I’ll carry you if you’re gonna complain.”
Gorou shook his head, “I’m exhausted though.”
“Don’t care,” Itto responded, “Guess I’ll just have to carry you then.”
“Don’t you dare,” Gorou turned around to glare at the oni.
Itto grinned, “Don’t be so grumpy. I know you well enough that you’re gonna wake up in the middle of the night feeling all gross and complain about it.”
The man knew he was right about that though he didn’t want to admit it.
“Fine, come here you goofball.”
Gorou sat up on the edge of the bed and waited for his lover to come to him.
The oni laughed, “You’re so spoiled you know that right?”
His small boyfriend smiled, “You love spoiling me and you know it.”
“Of course I do! You’re the love of my life after all. Besides, how could I not wanna spoil the most amazing boyfriend in all of Teyvat?”
The oni had been changing into a pair of boxers and shorts while this conversation was going down so he could get comfortable before heading off to bed.
Once he finished pulling up his shorts, he went and picked his boyfriend up in his arms, holding him close so he wouldn’t slip but still loose as if he were a small child.
He then carried his lover to the bathroom and set him gently in the tub. The water was the perfect temperature. Gorou sank in so just his head and neck were out as he let out a relaxed sigh.
“This feels so nice,” he said with his eyes closed.
“I’m glad you like it. Want me to wash your hair for you?” Itto asked calmly.
Gorou nodded, “That would be great. Thank you.”
The oni washed his hair while talking about his day, letting his boyfriend quietly listen. Gorou enjoyed hearing his boyfriend’s stories as they were always funny.
The way he talked about how tough he was in battle (because he was the great Arataki Itto of coure), his Onikabuto beetles and TCG battles was adorable.
He was so passionate in everything he did and Gorou loved every second of it.
Listening to his boyfriend’s tales while having his hair washed was something Gorou never wanted to end.
The way his lover treated him like he was delicate and worthy of being cherished made Gorou’s heart melt.
“Alright, you’re all fresh and ready for bed!”
Itto held out a hand and helped his boyfriend step out of the tub, grabbing a fresh white towel which he had left next to them and handing it to the man.
Gorou wrapped the towel around his waist then glanced back up at his boyfriend.
“Here,” Itto grabbed another towel and used it to dry off his lover’s hair for him.
“Thank you,” Gorou said with a smile.
The man was shivering a little from the cool air hitting his bare chest so Itto went and picked up one of his own white towels to throw over the man’s shoulders.
“Give me a second to change the sheets then we can get in bed.”
Gorou followed his boyfriend back to the bedroom with Itto’s large towel wrapped around him like a blanket to keep warm.
The oni went and changed the sheets to the best of his ability but even though it was sloppily made, Gorou didn’t care. He thought it was cute how Itto tried.
“Let me grab you something to wear as jammies.”
Itto went and got one of his own shirts and a pair of Gorou’s boxers.
Gorou took off and handed the towels he was wearing to his boyfriend then was given the pair of boxers.
Getting dressed, he stepped into and pulled up his boxers before being handed the oversized shirt.
Throwing it over his head, Itto watched as the fabric slid down his lover’s skinny figure. Being that it was Itto’s shirt, it was massive on the man, looking more like a dress than a shirt on him.
It was a plain light blue shirt which brought out the color of his eyes. He looked absolutely adorable to say the least to the point where Itto couldn’t hold himself back from wrapping his arms around the man and holding him close.
“You’re so cute!” the oni giggled with glee as he held the man up so his feet weren’t on the floor.
“Thank you,” Gorou responded while wrapping his arms around his lover’s neck.
Itto pulled away to take in the sight of the man in his arms.
“I love you so much,” Gorou smiled before the oni could get a word out.
“Aw, I love you too!” Itto responded with a grin.
The oni gave his lover a peck on the forehead.
“Alright sleepy head, let’s get in bed.”
Still holding his boyfriend in his arms, Itto carried and put Gorou in bed, tucking him in.
He then went around the bed to the other side and slid in next to the small man.
“Cuddle time!” the oni said as he wrapped his arms around his love.
Gorou rolled his eyes playfully.
“Alright you goofball, time to be quiet so I can sleep. I’m exhausted.”
As if on cue, Gorou yawned wide as his eyes started to flutter shut.
“Okay sleepy head,” Itto held his boyfriend closer, bringing him in a warm embrace. “Time to go night night.”
The short man smiled, “Goodnight Itto.”
Gorou kissed his boyfriend on the cheek, snuggling up closer and resting his head on the oni’s large chest.
Itto combed his fingers through his boyfriend’s hair, occasionally giving little gentle scratches behind his ears as he knew it helped the man relax.
It was only a matter of minutes before Gorou fell into a deep slumber, holding his boyfriend close like a child would their favorite stuffed animal.
“Sweet dreams my love,” Itto said as he gave the man a peck on the forehead before drifting off as well.
