"Big brother?" Teucer knocked on the door. "Teucer, please, go finish your breakfast." Childe said in a trembling voice. "Okay.." Teucer walked off. Childe calmed himself down then cleaned up the sink. He looked at himself one last time before walking out.
"Teucer are you okay with staying here for a bit? I need to go somewhere." Childe grabbed his coat, "Yea!" Teucer happily replied. Childe nodded at him with a smile, then left, locking the door behind him of course.

Childe had been to Zhongli's house many times..but never to apologize.
Childe walked down the streets, hopefully he was there. If he isn't then Childe would have to explain himself to his younger brother..and god did that little guy give him the creeps. Made his skin crawl just thinking about him (Zhongli's parent's are never home because of work).
Childe showed up at the front of Zhongli's house.
----
He knocked on the door and it slowly opened.
Childe expected to see Zhongli, he looked down a bit and saw his younger brother looking at him with a stern look.
"Oh," Childe let out a nervous laugh, "Hey Xiao, where's Zhongli...?" Childe forced himself to smile which made it a little more awkward than it already was. "What are you doing here?" Xiao teethed.
"I just want to see your bother! That's all..." Childe looked away. "Well, he's not here." Xiao was about to slam the door shut but Childe stopped it with his foot. "Can you tell me where he is at least?" Childe sympathetically said.
"Why would I tell you?" Xiao tried shutting the door again, but he just crushed Childe's foot more.
He winced slightly, but tried to ignore it. "Please, I need to speak to him." Childe said. "Goodbye Childe." Xiao kicked Childe's foot out of the door and slammed it shut, locking it.
Childe groaned. He'd just have to apologize at school tomorrow.
He started heading back home.

Kaeya laid on the couch and groaned loudly, "What's wrong?" his mother asked, "Nothing, just tired." Kaeya answered, even if it was a lie. Actually he had a lot of energy at that moment.
"I'm gonna be going to the store, need anything?" She asked.
I need a good way to explain everything to Albedo. He thought.
"No I'm good." Kaeya answered.
