Have fun reading <3

Zhongli has been working all day in barbabucks, being pretty exhausted because today, not to forget that he's the only one here now because everyone elses shifts were already over, they were a lot of people in the shop, he's really jealous of the people who can just relax and chat meanwhile he needs to afford money for his own good.
He sighed and looked at the clock on the wall.
'Thankfully we're closing soon, so I can relax as well' Zhongli thought already wiping some tables, some costumers leaving until just him being left.
Suddenly someone came into the shop.
Zhongli sighed again.
"Sir we're clo-"
He looked at the orange haired boy infront of him, pretty overwhelmed with his looks.
He had a notebook with him so Zhongli assumed he wanted to learn here.
He wore an red hoodie and a black ripped jeans and a pair of Van's as well.

"Yeah I'm sorry for that, I may go then"
He looked at Zhongli being also pretty overwhelmed with his looks.
'He's gorgeous, oh my God-'
The boy thought.

"No! I-I mean no no, it's fine you can stay!" He smiled at him softly.

"If it's not bothering you-"

"Not at all, may I also take your order"

The boy infront of him blushed.
"I'm taking a venti caramel cappuccino if that's fine"

"Sure, coming right up"

'He's cute..'
The orange haired thought and walked off to an table already opening his notebook and started working so he can leave as soon as possible since they would've closed until now.

Zhongli came with his order and placed it infront of him, having a bottle with caramel with him.

"May I ask for the name?"
He asked the orange haired.

"Ah, it's Ajax"

"What a lovely name!!!"
Zhongli started to write that name on the cappuccino with the caramel and still smiled.

"May I have your name as well"
Ajax looked at him, probably looking pretty dumb cuz he is indeed staring at him for too long.

Zhongli giggled a little.
"It's Zhongli dear Ajax" he said leaving to wipe some dishes off.

'Did he just called me dear-'
Childe blushed again needing to concentrate on his work so he can leave and not bothering Zhongli anymore.
He looked at his cappuccino seeing his name written on it and even an heart next to it.
He grinned like an idiot and started drinking some of it.

Around half an hour later the orange haired were finally finished sighing in release.

"Thank you so much for letting me finish my work here, have an good night!!" He smiled at the black haired man waving at him and Zhongli just waved back.

'I'll visit again..' Ajax thought.

Ajax indeed did visited the shop again not seeing Zhongli once.
Being a little sad about that, but it's understandable isn't it. Zhongli seemed to be in his age and Childe's on college he may as well have college too and for Childe it's his final exams.
'Maybe he has his final exams as well'
He thought walking into the shop again, being concentrated on his phone not even listening to the cashier at all.
The cashier being Zhongli.

"Ajax? Do you even listen?" Zhongli laughed softly.

"Huh?!?" Childe looked up seeing Zhongli and being a little suprised and started blushing, the black haired still laughing.
