(Lunch)

Kaeya didn't know where else to sit, so he sat where he normally did. With Ayato, Thoma, Childe and Zhongli. They all tried to not make any eye contact with Kaeya, well, everyone except Childe who was staring right at him like a crazy person.

Kaeya glanced at him once but quickly looked away.

Childe frowned then flicked Kaeya's forehead, "Ow!" Kaeya covered his forehead. "Thank god, I thought you went mute or something." Childe sighed.

"If you're worried about us thinking different of you, don't be, I saw you talking to Simeon and you both worked it out." Childe looked over to Albedo's table, "But—you still have to get things straight with Albedo." Childe looked back at Kaeya.

"I don't know how to get things straight with him," Kaeya laid his head on his hand as he drank out of his juice box.

"Yeah, no shit," Childe laughed, then he realized no one got the joke and laughed awkwardly. "Anyway, you just need to talk to him. He loves you, he'll understand.", "And what if he doesn't?, "Uh—well..", "Exactly." Kaeya groaned and put his head down.

"Come on! If things don't go well, we'll all be here for you! Right?" Childe looked back at everyone.

"Mhm," Zhongli nodded with a smile, the rest of them nodded. Childe blushed and looked away from Zhongli.

"If he doesn't forgive me I'm gonna be blaming it on you guys," Kaeya got up, "Where are you going?", "Restroom." Kaeya answered.
