Childe found the hug comforting, and he missed it. But he shook the thought off. Zhongli hid away (?) his true identity which who Childe was suffering for back.
He pushed Zhongli a little too hard and landed down the glass table. Seems like the security was alert due to the crashing sound and rushed to his office. Childe heard the sound of the footsteps and was immediately in action, his experience as a fatui came in handy. He left the office but before so he left a personal message to Zhongli [Spoken not letter] and took his final glance before leaving. Zhongli tried to catch up but he was too late, That guy was fast. Childe was running as fast as he could but every way he've taken was filled with a few of the security that has been outsmarting him trying to pin him down to know exactly his intentions.
He purposely let the security pin him down because of the plan in his mind. While he was being asked questions, Childe scratched the security with the glass he took before leaving which made them distracted. He pushed the security and kicked him with his knee and threw the glass at the securitie's direction to take time in dodging it. But it sucks for him since ofcourse, the footage was taken. Who knows what will come in his way soon?..
Dang it was the first day of them and everything already came crashing down, ofcourse even Zhongli. He had his regrets about everything. After the panic about the situation he remembered what happened before so. He stopped walking and aimed for the bench to sit down. Suddenly, the air was filled with dark aura and everyone passing by was creeped out; the pain he went through is slowly splitting up and the piece went by him, the floor was wet by his tears of anger, regret, and sadness. --Schmunk! : That was the sound of the last shop closing. It was dark and Childe was sleeping in the bench with his puffy eyes after 2 hours of his.. let's say it was like a tantrum inside his mind. A mess happening like your room so go clean it up.
Zhongli POV
Arriving at the hallway he saw shattered glass and a small pool of blood, and a carpet left with messy footprints. He immediately knew what is going on and Childe was on for a chase, he needed to lift the security out from the mess that was created by them. He followed the small footprints and it led near to the exit of the company. There wasn't any footprints left so he followed his thoughts on which way to go. He passed by a stranger looking creeped out, Zhongli approached the bothered old lady and asked what was wrong.
Zhongli: Hello ma'am, you look uncomfortable. What happened?
Old lady: Oh, hello boy. Im okay, I was walking down the street when I came through a boy who looked like a mess, he was tearing up, grabbing his hair crazily and he had some.. red stains in his hand, I hope it wasnt blood. Something bad was also surrounding him, he looked like a ginger. --Oh I think I said too much, im sorry. Just a few steps before crossing paths across him, becareful.
Zhongli widened his eyes and in response, he gave the lady comforting words and left. He ran as fast as he could, he needed to solve this problem.
Zhongli saw someone walking a little bit of sloppy, looking down; really down. He went and stopped to check who it was, It was Childe. He pulled him by his arm and started a talk.
Zhongli: Childe! I found you. Do you know what beef you made with the security? Im happy you aren't injured or something.
Childe looked back really fast and widened his eyes, he could feel is throat swell up again. He couldn't hold everything back and looked at Zhongli faking a death stare to drive him away in order to cry again alone.
Zhongli: Stop trying to scare me away. I know you need time from me, let's talk this out when we are back. --Zhongli said in a soft tone wiping the little tears coming out from the ginger's eyes. Zhongli brought him to the car while holding him tight.
After a few minutes, they were inside the car.
12:57 - 1:09
They arrived back at the brunette's house.
Zhongli looked at Childe seeing him staring outside holding a leaf, his eyes were really puffy and it's obvious, it's like he needed a blindfold.
Zhongli: That tree looks really beautiful, isn't it?
Childe nodded.
Zhongli: Mm.. That's a birch tree, remember?
Childe: Oh.. yeah. You- you used to read stories for me while we were laying in it..
He sounded uncomfortable, why? Zhongli thought.
Zhongli: You dont sound okay. What's wrong?
Childe: After all what happened, im not ready to reunite with you.. you hid the fact you were Morax, I was so hurt after you left and once you found me: you said nothing.
Zhongli: I did not hide I am Morax for you, Childe. I will tell you everything inside, don't let the lie inside you.
Zhongli left the car and opened the back seat door for Childe, he came out as well and headed back to his place. --Zhongli grabbed a cup of water and gave it to Childe
Zhongli: Here. To refresh your mind, I dont want you to turn into a mess because of the situation. Relax as far as you can and we'll talk
Childe: Thank you, I dont need to relax. Let's talk right now. I want to know all, all you have in your mind. He said and drank he water Zhongli gave.
Zhongli: If you're prepared, shall we?
Childe: Tell me. Everything.
