Kaeya parked in front of where Albedo lived. "Albedo, I really am sorry. I shouldn't have acted the way I did," Kaeya put a hand on Albedo's thigh.

Albedo looked down at his hand and sighed, looking back up at Kaeya he said; "Can we just pretend none of this happened?" Albedo smiled sweetly.

Kaeya smiled back gently and nodded.

(The next day)

"What made you throw a party on a school night?" Kaeya groaned as he walked next to Childe, "Yeah..that was kinda stupid," Childe winced at his throbbing headache.

"Hey Kaeya," Childe looked over to him with tired eyes, "Yeah?" Kaeya replied in a yawn.

"What happened with Albedo yesterda-" Before he could finish Kaeya flicked his forehead hard, "Ow! What was that for?!" Childe put his hands on his forehead.

"For being dumb, and—Zhongli?" Kaeya stopped in his tracks when he saw Zhongli being yelled at by someone who looked younger than him.

"Huh?" Childe looked up and saw Zhongli, Zhongli being yelled at by Xiao.

"Aren't you suppose to be the responsible one?! You can't be going to parties with your boyfriend on a school night!" Xiao yelled at Zhongli, "Yeah, I'm sorry Xiao." Zhongli smiled with a defeated look.

"I can't believe you, he's not good for you Zhongli! You've been with him way more ever since you got together." Xiao looked like he was pouting, "He's my boyfriend Xiao, when you find someone you live you'll understand." Zhongli patted Xiao's head with a kind smile.

"Yeah, whatever." Xiao said then hit Zhongli's hand off of his head and began walking to school.

Zhongi sighed as soon as Xiao was out of sight.

Zhongli looked over to Kaeya and Childe who had their mouths opened wide, "Oh, hey Childe..and Kaeya?" Zhongli waved.

"Kaeya, don't you usually walk to school with Albedo?" Zhongli asked, Kaeya and Childe both shouted; "That's not important right now!".

Childe and Kaeya ran over to Zhongli.

"You can't just let him yell at you like that!" Childe hugged Zhongli. "It's fine," Zhongli hugged Childe back, but his eyes widened when he felt Childe grab his—"Okay love birds, can we go now?!" Kaeya said with a slightly disgusted tone. Childe and Zhongli laughed awkwardly then nodded.
