When a God falls for you [Zhongli x Reader]

The truth will always reveal itself

Childe lays you down into a big bed, pulling a blanket over you. This room is nothing like the cell you were in. It's much warmer, cleanser.. cozier.
You're still in a deep sleep, but.. you're dreaming something...

»H- Hello? Is there.. anyone here..?«
You desperately ask. You're sitting in a burned grass field - it looks like there has been a big battle here.

»what.. what happened here..« you mumble as you slowly stand up and look around.

»Where is everyone, Am I.. am I dead? No, no I don't want to be alone.. please.. where..« you say, spinning around and look for a familiar face, but there's no one to see.

»Z- Zhongli.. where.. are you.. I need you..« you mumble again with tears forming in your eyes.

»y/n?«

You flash around. Zhongli is standing there. His clothes were torn and he's bleeding at some spots.

»Zhongli« you say, not believing your eyes. You run towards him and hug him, tighter then you ever did.

»W- what happened, are you okay? Where are the others? What-«

»Shh, y/n. It's okay. Here« Zhongli replies and starts stroking your hair and caressing your cheek.

-

Childe notices that you started moving in your sleep. He sees that you wear a worried face and decides to sit down next to you to observe you better. He then starts to stroke your hair and caress your cheek a little in hopes to calm you down - since he was the one who made you unconscious.

»Huh.. what is..?« Childe says and leans even closer to your face with his.

Your dream feels so real, Zhongli feels so real. You're finally at peace and take his hand.
»Please, I want to feel it again.. I need something which makes me hope again, something.. worth living for.. please.. k- kiss me« you quietly say. Zhongli only smiles at you and leans down, takes your face into his hands and looks you into your eyes. It seems like he whispered the words "I love you", but before you can reply he presses his lips on yours. You close your eyes and feel his hands slide through your hair and back onto your face again. You want this moment to last forever - it's the most beautiful feeling in this world. His soft lips and his warm breath on you, his hands, his scent.. they feel... so....

different...?

You slowly open your eyes again to see not Zhongli, but Childe over you - kissing you. Then Childe lets go of you again and looks back into your wide-opened eyes. For a second, there's not a single noise in the room.

*SMACK*

A loud smack then makes the loudest sound in the room.

With a shocked face and a hurting hand you're sitting in front of Childe - who now has an imprint of your hand on his cheek.

After another few moments of silence, Childe moves away from you, stands up and makes his way towards the room's door.

»H- Hold up! Are you like not going to apologize or something?! You perv-«

»You kissed me.«

Your eyes widen even more as you hear this.
»What?! I- I didn't!! You were leaning over me!! What the hell-«

But Childe only glances back at you with a cold face one more time - not saying a word. Then he leaves the room, closes and locks the door behind him.

Sh*t.

»Oh ohh, what happened to you?!« Scaramouche laughs at Childe and points at his cheek. »Have you been too "nice" again?!« he laughs even more.
