Liyue Harbour, The Wangshung Funeral Parlour & Luhua Pool ,,  7 : 50 - 10 : 50.

𝐙𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐃 down at the floor in embarrassment once again. Childe looked at him in interest. He has never seen someone with yellow goldish eyes before. 

" You have really beautiful eyes "

༄ؘ ' fuck i just said that out loud didn't i? ,  thought Childe, flustered.

"O-oh thank - you!"

They nervously looked at each other, then at their surroundings. Childe had sensed a particular sense of despair [ d a n g a n r o n p a  vibes laule ] from the person opposite him. Childe grabbed Zhongli's hand and ran with him, in the direction of The Wangsheng Funeral Parlour. Zhongli was flustered even more than before as Childe pulled him through the crowds of people at the Harbour. They managed to get to the Parlour before 8 : 0 0 am, luckily. Childe burst open the doors, with Zhongli hands still clenched in his. Hu Tao looked deep in thought, Chongyun was also there, Since both Hu Tao and Chongyun have an experience with ghosts and spirits. Both of them looked up at Zhongli and the man that stormed in.

" I DEMAND THAT YOU GIVE ZHONGLI TIME FOR THE MEETING. HE TOOK HIS TIME TO WAKE UP AND WITH EFFORT, GO FROM ALL THE WAY FROM WANGSHUN INN FROM HERE! BY FOOT! I SUGGEST YOU LOOK FOR A TIME LATER TODAY TO DISCUSS WHAT YOU NEED TO, INSTEAD OF SCOLDING HIM."

Hu Tao looked at him emotionless. Her lips started forming into a smile and then eventually into a laugh. Everyone looked at her and Hu Tao calmed down after a bit.

" So, Peepaw-"

" Peepaw?" said Childe, confusingly.

" It's just a nickname she has for me, i told her to stop but wouldn't listen." Said Zhongli, breathless from all of the running.

"As i was saying... Peepaw, i didn't know you had a boyfriend! I knew you were gay from the second i hired you."

"B-boyfriend? No no, i just met Childe barley a few minutes ago!" said a highly flustered Zhongli.

" So why are you two holding hands?" said Chongyun.

Childe and Zhongli looked down at each others hands to realise they were still holding hands after all this while. Zhongli embarrassingly let go of the warmth of Childe's hands reluctantly.

Hu Tao and Chongyun made eye contact, this usually happens when they ship two people with each other.

' I 100% ship them' ~ Hu Tao

' It's very obvious' ~ Chongyun

' We need to make this ship sail!' ~ Hu tao 

' Definitely! '~ Chongyun

Both of them nodded their heads in agreement whilst Childe and Zhongli looked at them in question.

"Ok Zhongli, i'll book another date for our meeting to take place, for now it's postponed until..."

Hu Tao looked at the calendar on the wall.

" Until the 5th of April, so that's next Thursday!"

"Alright, thank you Director Hu"

" Your most welcome!"

Childe and Zhongli both made their way to the exit, when Hu Tao called them for something.

" Maybe both of you would like to go to the party held by the bartender, Diona, in Mondstant because she has completed her first step in destroying the Wine Industry, of course she only told the destroying part to me. The others think it's a party to celebrate her 3rd year in the Wine Industry. It's being held in The Cats Tail. Would you like to come?"

Zhongli felt like he had to repay Hu Tao someway, because of his lateness.

" Ok, i'll come along, don't expect me to drink though"

"Ugh what's the fun of a party at a bar if your not even going to drink?" exclaimed Hu Tao," So Childe, I'm guessing that's your name, are you going to come along to?

" I don't have any plans so sure, i'll come along!"

" Excellent,  see ya later!"

"Bye!" Childe and Zhongli said in sync.

They walked out of the Parlour and walked down the hill to the town's centre. 

" Hey Childe?"

"Yes?"

" Would you maybe wanna hang out ?"

" Uhm sure, what are you thinking?"

" Maybe we could go to Luhua Pool, I heard it's very beautiful during sunset,"

" It is! Let's head there then"

By the next 30 minutes, they had made it to Luhua Pool. The creveasse's  in the waters ' pools ' glistened in the setting orange sun. It's green and blue luminescent colours travelled at a slow pace. Zhongli and Childe were on top a hill where they would both see the sun setting behind the Luhua Pool. Zhongli watched the sun set in amazement. Childe watched the excited Zhongli, pleased to meet a man like him. The tips of Zhongli's hair turned a goldish colour. It shone like a jewel in the sun. Childe blushed at this sensation. As the sun finally set, Zhongli looked at Childe. 

" Thank you for taking me here today, i really appreciate it"

" Your welcome"

Childe and Zhongli both looked at each other and Childe leaned in closer and kissed Zhongli's rosy lips. Zhongli was in shock, but kissed him back. After a few seconds, Childe pushed zhongli onto him back and climbed on top of him. Zhongli pulled back the kiss.

" H-hey! your going to fast!" ( ⁽͑ʺ˚̀˙̪̺˚́ʺ⁾̉ ˃͐)

" Sorry, i didn't have control over myself,"

" It's alright"

Childe got off of Zhongli and Zhongli sat back up. The sun had set.
