Childe roamed the streets of Liyue Harbor with Zhongli by his side, his husband left early that morning for work but when he came up that morning to [M/N]'s workplace, he wasn't there. Childe was told he had a day off though didn't see his lover around. He did run into Zhongli who gifted him, a newer pair of chopsticks, which made him internally scream but accepted. 

"Where do you think he's at?" Zhongli asked as they stopped at the railing by the harbor.

"I have no clue, I mean..he would tell me if he left Liyue Habor to the Marsh or worst." He told the other with a sigh, looking below at the water. "Maybe gathering some soft silk flowers for an order or perhaps enjoying some time at the Wanmin Restaurant."

"Perhaps, he does eat a lot when he's off." Zhongli said as Childe nods his head as they began leaving the port towards the Restaurant, already smelling the food that's being cooked there. 

"Wait, how do you know he eats a lot on Day-offs?" Childe asked curiously.

"I usually eat with him when you're out of Liyue Habor or at the Bank working, he...eats a lot of seafood and radish balls on a skewer," Zhongli remembered how [M/N] had ordered a lot of food for the two of them, of course, Zhongli wasn't paying, since he didn't have a single mora to his name but didn't complain when the slowly cooked Bamboo soup was placed in front of them. They didn't make any conversation either, as [M/N] was working on new designs and eating, speaking in between bites. "He can certainly multitask."

"Yes, my husband is a bit of a piggy on his day off, but as long as he eats then I'm happy." Childe laughs as they stopped at the Restaurant, they didn't see the owner but his daughter cooking up something spicy, she carefully placed the carrots into the pot as the fire blazed. Zhongli waved his hand in front of his face as Childe coughs a bit. "Xiangling?"

"Oh! Hi you guys, would you two like to try an even spicier version of the Universal Peace?" She asked as she looked to the two with a smile. "I was going to make Chongyun try some but I haven't see him."

"What? no thank you, I was wondering if you saw [M/N]." Childe said as she thought over it before shaking her head. She moved to the cutting board, placing a chili on the board with a knife, a bell jingles with each step. "No, I haven't. I actually haven't seen him all morning or the food frenzy." She said as she began cutting, coughing away from the chili.

"Really? Oh." Childe muttered as worry prickled him a bit, wondering where his husband could be. He had lots of enemies around here, some unhappy Treasure Hoarders or creatures. "Uh, thanks."

Both men left as she dumped the chili in, Childe rubbed his nape, still confused about this as Zhongli thought over their situation. "Perhaps he took a commission, he's probably taking one. We're near the Adventurers Guild." Zhongli said as Childe nods, it wasn't usual for his husband to take one.

Apparently, Katheryn hadn't seen him, which prompt Childe to hurry home and get his weapons, thinking it would be a calm day.

No, his husband was missing and could be laying in a ditch somewhere bleeding out.

"Childe calm down, you're letting your emotions overtake you!" Zhongli tried to calm his friend as Childe yanked the [L/N]'s household door open and it slammed harshly. 

"No, my husband is out there dying and calling my name-"

"Happy Birthday!"

Multiple faces came into view, their friends and friends that [M/N] had. There were blue decorations hang up, balloons, and different strings hanging above with Childe's name on the wall. There was food set up in the front room as everyone wore pretty birthday hats. No doubt [M/N]'s design.

"You're home?" Childe said as [M/N] smiled at his lover and nods his head, he sighs, dropping the weapon and moved. He hugged [M/N] who gasped a bit, nuzzling his face into [H/C] hair with a sigh. " Archons you worry me."

"Sorry my love, I wanted to celebrate you coming into this world and being mine." [M/N] said as he pulled back, looking to his lover with a smile. Childe only smiled and gently kissed his husband's head. He pulled back as Zhongli smiled at the view, and sat down as Hu Tao grins. She came up from behind him and strapped the pretty party hat to his head. He ignored the snap of the string hitting his chin.

"Hey Zhongli, have you heard?" Hu Tao said as [M/N] lit the candles on the white and purple cake.

"A strange new traveler came to Mondstadt and fixed their little dragon problem." She hummed as they began singing Happy birthday as Childe yanked [M/N] into his lap.

"Traveler, you say?" Zhongli muttered as Hu Tao hummed.

"Yes, she's a sight for sore eyes and a strong one at that." She hummed as Childe blows the candles out and dabbed some frosting on [M/N]'s nose.
