- Zhongli’s kisses are like divinity personified. The way he kisses you breathless, fingers tangled in your hair, thumbs stroking your cheeks like you’re something holy -  if he was the only god then you are the proof of his existence. 
- He knows what he likes, and over time he’ll now what you likes, too. Observant, golden eyes watching for the way you keen and go breathless in his arms. He’s so reverent when he kisses you - the way he holds you and mutters sweet nothings into the kisses as if that alone was enough for his heart. He’ll smooch you in public, too! Though he has a bit of a possessive streak, so he’ll steal you away to a little alley to kiss your breath away. You’re just so darling to him. If he’s feeling particularly bold his fangs will scrape your lip just a touch before he soothes it over with his tongue - he just can’t help himself!
- Skin ship is an absolute must when it comes to him. Zhongli is always touching you in some way. A gloved hand on the small of your back pulling you in and crowding you closer. A solid, grounding presence on your waist. He revels in it. Please, please, please, pull him closer - tangle your fingers in that silky hair, warp your arms around his head - flutter kisses across his cheeks, his eyelids, his forehead - he loves it.
-He’ll grab your wrist, the loving nickname “starlight,” playing across his surprisingly soft lips - and, ah. This is love. You’re everything, you’re divine.

- Xiao kisses you like you’ll drift away - tentative kisses that eventually grow into something greedy, something all consuming. He’s spent so long alone, years upon years by himself in solitude - if anything happened to you it would break his heart. You’re the first lover he’s taken in who knows how long - and he knows his time with you is limited. If he can convey just even a fraction of his love for you - it would be worth it.
- He’s so shy about PDA! Most often he opts for the more subtler, sweeter touches - nothing as explicit as the way human men show their love. Xiao walks close to you, his hand bumping into yours at most - and if he’s feeling particularly bold he’ll wrap a few of his fingers around yours. Link pinkies! As a treat. Also - Kiss his face! His cheeks! Dust lil smooches across his hands too, and he’s a blushing mess! 
- That isn’t to say he doesn’t hate it, however. If he’s in a relaxed, public setting, like a date, he’ll watch the couples around the two of you and try to mimic what they do - it’ll be a touch awkward at first, but he’s not very well versed in the language of human affection, and he’s trying damnit!
- Xiao has a habit of kissing your neck when he’s apologetic - he knows he’s not the best at emotions and, well, emoting, so he’ll press little kisses to your neck, your shoulder or your ear to let you know that he’s there, that he’s listening. He’s also horribly embarrassed afterwards so expect to get unexpected raspberries when he buries his face in your neck or hair and sighs.
- He loves you so much and you- you’re just so lovely to him. He just wants to do good by you. That’s all he can ask.
