Warmth (Zhongli)

Seven

"Don't you have something to do?"

You asked him as you yawn in your free hand, the other casually warp around his arm as the two of you took a stroll around Liyue

"I have nothing to do for the rest of the week"

More like he has the poor traveler working for him

"Then what do you want us to do?"

You ask, yawning once again

"Are you tired? We can rest for today if you want"

He asked, stopping as he look at your features

You then roll your eyes at him,

"Says the one who kept me up all night"

For a moment, he blink at you then he let out a soft laugh.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to"

He lied and give you a kiss in the forehead

Cherishing every moment he have with you. The clock is ticking, the day will pass by. It's already the third day. All the two of you could ever do was to take strolls, often eat outside using someone else money ehem Childe ehem but to you it was pretty much satisfying.

The two of you had always been like that in the past, just enjoying simple things and admiring your people who was leaving peacefully, although Liyue is in chaos because of their God right beside you. You knew they'll be fine.

"Have you every heard about the story between the God of Contract and Goddess of Wrath?"

It was the storyteller of Liyue

As one of the crowed who was passing by, you gave Zhongli a light tap before stopping alongside the crowed taking interest.

"Well the Goddess of Wrath was no simple archon. Not only was she one of the most feared archons but she was also one of the adeptus of Liyue, as well as the contract lover of Liyue"

Contract Lover

That term couldn't help but to amuse you.

In contrast to your amuse face. Morax, Zhongli who heard these things for the first time was frowning.

He didn't like those words, it made him feel like your relationship was nothing more than an mutual benefit and was not based on your feelings.

And you who suddenly felt the shift of mood of your lover let out a chuckle and tug him away from the crowd.

Morax was a man of tradition and history. When he heard of that he couldn't belief what kind of bullshit was that. He wasn't mad, but he wasn't pleased too.

"They say it was no more than a contract for the Goddess of Wrath never dare show up even by the death of her supposed to be beloved"

You stated with a chuckle

"They say she only made such contract with him so she could be under his protection"

Then your chuckle turn into laugh

"What kind of wrath is that?"

You laugh

Zhongli was only looking at you. And you look back at him after you finished laughing.

"I guess you don't like that story huh?"

"Its non-sense"

He stated clearly

Once again you couldn't help but to laugh at his face, he was frowning, and it was cute. You haven't seen him like that for awhile.

Everything seems to be well.

Until your laugh was cut off by a sudden cough in which you quickly cover your mouth by your free hand that wasn't holding onto him.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, where should we go next?"

You smile at him

Freehand clenching that goes noticed by him yet said nothing. Right in your palm was a golden blood.
