(Cover art doesn't belong to me and I didn't check for any grammer mistakes this is also just for fun)

FLUFF

Diluc pov:
As I was getting ready to open the tavern, the weather was quite sunny not a cloud to be seen as the sun rays hit the desk from across the translucent window. I sighed pulling my collar down a bit. Suddenly I heard footsteps as soon as i turned around I came across that no good bard it seems that he appeared with a friend. His friend had a somewhat tall, sophisticated, elegant appearance; not to mention his glossy golden narrow shaped eyes along with raven dark hair. The clothes he was wearing had a formal but classy fit to it as well. But back to his eyes it had some kind of enchantment towards them it had made me curious about the one that stood before me. Normally I wouldn't zone out and check people's appearances like this but this man was quite. Ah what's the word. Pretty but unusual it was pretty obvious he wasn't from here.
"heyy master diluc" spoke the bard grinning cheekily.
"Ya know that dandelion wine two cups of it please!" he exclaimed chirpily.
There goes my peace and quiet I sobbed in my mind as I asked "with what money venti."
"I knew you would ask this question my dear favourite bartender" he held out actual money for once.
To be honest I wasn't expecting him to actually have money on him for once, it would be nice if he actually payed for his drinks once in a while.
"fine I'll get you it".
"Excuse me I hope im not interrupting I hope we're not causing an issue are we you don't seem too pleased" the unknown voice asked.
Suprised, I replied with "ah no you are more than welcome to stay venti just normally doesn't pay he performs"
"I see don't worry I gave him the money to pay you."
"why thank you uh mister?" I turn my head to venti.
"oh yeah this dude is mora-"
(The unknown person stood on ventis foot on purpose)
Venti looked like he was in pain for some reason as I was preparing the wine for them both.
"I mean zhongli! Is his name ahaha silly me I have bad memory.."
"it's a pleasure to meet you mister zhongli you may call me master diluc. I replied once again abruptly"
"No no the pleasures mine master diluc " he gave a bright smile and his eyes kept staring at me even when I went to get the drinks I could feel him staring.

Zhongli pov:
This person reminded me of my past acquaintances. But something you don't see everyday is a red haired person. Honestly his hair had me mesmerised I wanted to touch it. It. Looked soft. For some reason. I couldn't help but keep lookin at him. I wanted to watch him. He wore a white shirt with a black blazer, his luxurious fluffy but fiery looking red hair was tied in a ponytail. As we looked at each other in the eyes I got a good glimpse of his pale-light red eyes it seemed to glimmer under the light of this tavern, the atmosphere was lively and bustling with people of all shapes and sizes not to mention colors. He gently handed me my drink and nodded to both of us before departing once more to deal with a fight in the tavern. Shockingly, the fight in the tavern was getting more intense I intended to get up and help but I would be disrupting and interfering with somebody else's business without a good reason so I mildly sat down and sipped the wine. Master diluc had managed to stop it and kick them out without a hassle but he had acquired a deep cut on the side of his cheek. Briefly standing up I rushed towards him and held his cheek with my black golden lined gloves. He seemed to be quite alarmed and was going even more red.

"W-what do you think you're doing! " he yelped.

"Sorry to be suddenly doing this master diluc but to stop the deep cut I have to apply pressure to you're cheek".

You. You're to close to me. I get back.
(master diluc starts to ramble along as his ears go red to but tried to keep his composure)
*zhongli does step back a bit but is still holding his cheek to stop the blood*

"here zhongli you can use this for master dilucs 𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩 cut" the green haired bard smiled once again as he handed him a plaster.

"why thank you venti", he raised his eyebrows suspiciously to check for any interior motive venti had but he didn't seem to have any.

"calm down old man I promise I found that plaster in one of the drawers in the tavern" he took a sip of his drink while smirking
"besides diluc over there might go even redder at this rate zhongli~"

"wow it seems you might have injured you're ears too venti was right you have gone redder." zhongli carefully moved his fingers towards dilucs ears and rubbed them to check for anymore signs of "injuries."

*Thats quite enough of that I you're still so close to me I" (he shoved zhongli not hard but hard enough to get him away).

"It seems I overstepped I'm deeply sorry about that master diluc."

"Ack it's. Okay. I lost my composure for a second to I'm sorry as well and thank you for the plaster mister zhongli".

I had to admit the way he turned away and covered his face in embarrassement proved that he's red about me getting close to him. Master diluc had walked back to the desk to drink some grape juice and regain his compasure.
Venti appeared besides me

"wow it seems that master diluc likes you I've never seen him go that red before man what an interesting reaction." he chuckled to himself as I did the same thing.

Master diluc... What an interesting person you are. The way you make me feel is also strange but makes me feel warm. I want to be near you. I want to spend time with you all of a sudden even though we have just met. The way you easily got flustered around me is it bad I want to tease you even more just to see how you would react I want to taste you. I just want you only.
