Home?|| Zhongli|| GN!

 Home ?

Cold and hungry, you sat in the rain as you lay your head back against the building. 

A place where I can go

Nowhere to run to, no one to cry on, no one there for you. 

To take this off my shoulders

Seems like your parents just didn't want you. But for what reason? Surviving out in the wild for around... what, over a hundred years or so? It's true, now a zombie, saved by an Adepti, still surviving though.

Someone take me home...

With Hu Tao, Zhongli made his way down the slippery path way, umbrellas in their hands, as Hu Tao spotted you. "Another zombie?!" The director Wangsheng Funeral Parlor exclaimed. "Now now Hu Tao, we shouldn't bury him / her / them." Zhongli mumbled. "But-" But he only shook his head.

Home, a place where I can go...

"The rain... it's loud. And very wet..." You whispered, and took hold of the talisman on your forehead as the wind blew and you shivered. "I'll... take care of her. Go on for now Hu Tao." The girl nodded, and headed towards the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, as she pouted, but it was barely visible. "Hm..."

To take this off my shoulders

It was only by luck where Childe, happened to walk by. "Ah, Childe." Zhongli nodded. "Zhongli- sensei! What are you doing?" Childe put a hand on his hips, as he looked back and forth to you, and then to Zhongli, then back to you. "Will you happen to come with me to Wangshu Inn? I have no mora on me right now..." The ginger widened his eyes, but nodded. "Sure, whatever fits best!" Zhongli held out a hand for you, and you hesitantly took hold of it, standing slowly and walking alongside the Geo Archon, still holding his hand.

Arriving at the inn, Verr Goldet took the money, gave you guys a room, and you settled down. It was a comforting feeling to you. The warmth you haven't felt in so long. You were now wrapped around towels, and blankets, as Childe let down a bag of mora and left. "Now, it might be you have a cold. After all, staying in the bitterness of the weather for that long..." Zhongli grumbled.

"My name..." Cough. "Is Y/N. What is... yours?" You looked up at the man in front of you. "My name is Zhongli. I will be your caretaker for now." The tall man smiled slightly. "I see... So you are like... my parent?" He nodded. "Rest for now child. You have caught a sickness." 

Someone take me home

"Oh, okay. Thank you um..." Zhongli was used to this "zombie forgetting thing." After all, sometimes Xiao would bring Qiqi to him so the girl wouldn't get hurt. "Thank you mister." You just called him mister, since you did not remember his name. "No, it's fine. Now, get some sleep and you will be introduced to some food tomorrow." You nodded, and leaned against the pillows that were fluffy. 

"I feel... like I'm at home..." You whispered, and Zhongli smiled, sitting in the chair to constantly change your towel on your forehead. 

...Part Two? :>
