Childe: Tell me. All. There's no reason for a made up excuse, Please. Zhongli.

Zhongli: Prepare ... Years passed by eversince I had left, The day finally came; I was given a chance to live here in teyvat again. As soon as I returned, I reincarnated as not Morax, but as a mortal. I was not allowed to try and interfere to get back my old life again, And it is a meaning any I know from my past life is not allowed to be taken back on purpose... A one last thing I asked for before returning was those items you found before finding out about all these. I was expecting to never bump into you again, Tartaglia. That one single rule shattered the purpose of my reincarnation --Aswell my heart. But today, we are facing front eachother, It drove my mouth into a smile. But here we are, in a mess. --When I saw you at the restaurant, I dropped my wallet which probably is the reason that led to missing it, but, I knew it was you, my old friend Tartarglia. I was shocked. and alot of tears tried to built up my eye but I had to wipe them away to not be suspected. My heart melted knowing we were united, this is not still complete though. Interacting with you first without a valid reason is no right for the rule applied to me. The urge to shout, hug, announce our reunion fade away. I could do none, but I had to bear with not telling you.

That is not all, the heavenly principle is sort of my enemy. But this is no right to tell you why. --I am sorry if you were confused above my explanation. I am at loss of words, speechless as this was very unexpected. There is no time to have a revenging treatment; Telling all this to atleast someone is no legal to my rule, I could be taken anytime. That is okay for me, but, what about you? You know now, you are involved and it is a high chance you will be punished too.
Tartaglia: You.. knew it was me?
Tartaglia: I thought you ignored me on purpose. All this was a misunderstanding?

More tears shed down the poor gingers cheeks, Zhongli felt hurt more than ever seeing him suffer because of him as it what he thinks.

Tartaglia: I dont wanna say this but I want to at the same time. Im sorry. My stupid shithead thought you want to start your new life having something complicated with me. What I mean, you saw me as an enemy. Im so sorry, Zhongli. I put all the pressure on you, Im sorry I bumped into you, suddenly. Do we.. need to cut contacts?
Zhongli: Tartaglia, No. You have no reason to apologize. This is my fault, I put you in danger because of me trying to bear you.

Zhongli said while he pulled Tartaglia into a tight hug, tearing up. sobbing. crying.

Door opens

Janitor: Oh my morax!
Janitor: Mr. Zhongli, what is going on?!

Childe woke up due to the loud noise and widened his eyes not knowing where he was
He quickly took a look and noticed it was Zhongli's office.

Janitor: Who are you?! What did you do to Mr. Zhongli?!
Childe: I- what?! Who are you.. No, what am I doing here?!

The shocked ginger quickly stood up and pulled the janitor outside office.

Childe: Shh.. Im not a bad guy, I know him
Janitor: Ahh. But, what the heck? Why were you guys sleeping together? The fact your head was on Mr. Zhongli's lap!

Childe's eyes widened and was in shock and denial more than ever before, They slept together?

Childe: I- I didnt know.. I was? Dont tell anyone, you better dont, please?!
Janitor: ...
Janitor: Okay.. But just beware there might be any cameras around inside the room that caught you two.
Childe: CCTV's? Pff.. what an easy deal. What's your.. well um name anyway?
(Mind.) Childe: Shit shit shit, you jackass ginger just play it cool. I cant do anything that would make him unzip his mouth.

Janitor: !!, My name is Thoma.
Childe: Thoma? Weird name.
(Janitor) Thoma: Ah.. sorry about that. Im actually from mondstadt and I came back from inazuma months ago, for a better job.
Childe: Woah, we just met, dont tell certain details.
Childe: I'll meet you here again tonight to discuss something. Keep it shut okay?
(Janitor) Thoma: Creepy. Okay then

Childe finally released him and went back to Zhongli's office.

Childe: ZHOONGLIII!!
Zhongli: Oh, Goodmorning Childe. You look happy today, arent you mad?
Childe: ...
Childe: I dont wanna be. I wanna restart how we got reunited. I dont wanna hurt you more.
Zhongli: I wont remind you what happened yesterday, whatever you wish

Zhongli hugged him, it was like their 1 millionth hug.
Childe hugged him back, and the feeling from the restaurant came back, a heart pounding rush.
Not noticed by him, his ears started going red; Not because of embarrasment, something else...

???: Pecking the law, hm? Glad ive never told about him his chances, What a certain luck he has. Break one more; your dead, Morax.
...: Come on, dont be such a pain for them. They look happy, dont they?
???: Rules. Rules are rules aren't they, little wind head?

Zhongli: Hold on, agh.
Childe: Are you okay?
Zhongli: I..am okay. My head started aching out of nowhere, but it's only probably due to.. hm.
Childe: Wait, ill get some water.
Zhongli: Childe no, you dont need to.

Im back!!

Childe caught him playing with a ginger plushie, how cute.

Childe: Pfft, Hahaha! what's that??
Zhongli: !!!
Zhongli: No no no, it's nothing. Well, got the water?
Childe: Oh! Here it is

Childe went closer to give it to him but how sneaky of him whatnot. He turned his fatui skills and quickly grabbed the hidden plushie from his drawer

Zhongli: What?! Childe, give it back!
Childe: Is this me? Where did you get it from? Hahahaha!!

Childe bursted out laughing while Zhongli was chasing him around the office, welp caused an accident.

Thoma, the janitor who caught Childe and Zhongli left water from his mop trying to clean Zhongli's office. And, Zhongli slipped due to it accidentally pushing Childe
Landing on eachother, with their faces red and close.
