Scaramouche POV:

.....

I stare down knowing what the young man was about to say, maybe he'd say 'ew your in love with a harbinger?' or other stuff.

But instead I was met with soft and gentle hands hugging me?

"W-what are you doing?"

Once I say that he hugs me a bit tighter and let's go after, "You don't deserve such treatment... You are dying cause of a person that might not have even noticed that you love them...."

I.... Never thought of it like that..... Is he really right?........ Childe might not have even noticed that I fell in love with him....

What should i do... Do I just give up my love for him?.....

"Hey... If you want me and my fiance can-"

Suddenly a man with red, purplish hair burst in and with a curious expression... "Hello Gege, whats this? Did the visitor finally wake up!"

I see Kazuha walking towards the man and from what i heard I think that's he's fiance he was talking about.

"Umm.... Hi..."

"Heizou, lower your voice or you'll scare him!"

I see the other man frown and bow down towards me and saying a small 'sorry'

"It's really ok... I guess I have to go since staying any longer would be very rude of me.."

"Oh! No no it's ok, you can stay as long as you need!"

Hearing this I look at him then at the other man called Heizou, tho hes expression was of kindness the other mans wasn't.

"I think your fiance might disagree.. Haha"

Wen I see him looking at he's fiance he grabs him by the ear and pulls him outside and before closing the door he tells me something that makes me blush.

"Sorry about him, just stay there and relax ok, if you hear some unusual stuff don't worry it's just some birds flying by.... But if your really curious don't be shy in coming to check"

Then he closes the door........

"Should I be concerned for that guy?"

Childe POV:

Wen I close the front door I turn to leave and start walking, unsure of we're to go I stop at bubu pharmacy to check up on a lil someone.

"Hmm? Oh! But why hello there Tartaglia, isn't it a surprise to see you here"

I stare at the person an smile "Hello Baizhu, do you know we're Qiqi is?, I brought her some coconut milk just for her on my way here."

He nods and goes behind the counter to we're a door was, then he entered.

I wonder.... How's the traveler doing... And that floating thing.. What was it called again? Emergency Food? No wait.... Oh! Paimon... Hmm.

Before I doze of again I see the door open and a small child came through it running towards me.

"Qiqi heard you brought Cocogoat milk..."

"Haha, I sure did Qiqi, here let's go have a walk while you drink your Cocogoat milk."

While walking by I saw a souvenir shop that seemed to have some antiques in it, I went walking towards it with Qiqi on hand and stopped to see what it had.

After a bit my eye's land on a beautiful piece that is quite the jewel, I remember Zhongli walking by here a couple of times and he never stopped staring at this, it was a beautiful ring made out of gold and instead of a diamond it had a jade charde in it that seemed out of this world, it's colors were of a rainbow but not so colorful it had the transparency that reflected the sky and shined very amazingly, and beside it was another that seemed to be the pair, another beautiful thing to display in such a local place.

Without a second thought I tell the seller how much it was and of course it almost emptied my budget "welp 12,500,000 mora down the hill they go... Here you go miss"

After I pay and tell Qiqi to go back to bubu pharmacy I go towards Zhongli working place, The Funeral Parlor, wen I enter the first person I see is Hu Tao.

I wave at her and she come to me with her usual bright smile "Hello my good customer, I suppose your here to see Zhongli right?"

I blush at this and nod.

"Welp he's in the lunch place taking a small break but if you know him... He's breaks aren't that small if you know what I mean"

I nod and bow down to thank her then proceeded to go towards the cafeteria.

Wen I get there the only thing I see is Zhongli..... With.... A woman?...... And it seemed... He was..... Laughing?. I cough at the scene and blood pulls out again... With more petals this time.... I feel light headed but still go towards Zhonglis table cleaning my mouth on the way with my gloves and wiping them off on my pants.

Zhonglis laughing?, I shake my head as thoughts go through my mind at an alarming speed, what if hes not gay.... What if he never saw me as a lover.... Or-

"Ah Childe Hello there"

I snap out of my thoughts and look at Zhongli paying no mind to the woman next to me and wishing she'd just disappear.

"Ah Hello Zhongli, Xiancheng!"

"Childe this right here is Ganyu, one of my most loyal Adepti and friend"

A sigh of relief escapes my mouth as I look at the girls direction.

"Hello, My names uhm wait he already said it... Um I guess I'll go...."

I hear a Chuckle escape Zhongli as she says that and I can't help but give a faint smile at her.

After she leaves I sit down at the chair in front of Zhongli.

"Hey Xiancheng...."

He stares at me while drinking he's tea and placing it down with gentleness.

"Yes Childe?"

I start to get nervous and look around for any type of excuse to make but to no avail.

"W-well I remember seeing you stare at some quite beautiful antiques sometime ago and I decided to... Umm... Buy... Them...."

He stares at me with delight in he's eye's and smiles... That gentle and gorgeous smile... I wish I could....

Before I do anything else I compose myself and bring a small blue box while placing it on the table in front of Zhongli.

"Y-you can open it..... I hope you like it I really do but if not it's fine I can just give it back and all the money that I used can go down the drain and after that jus-"

"Childe.... I love it... It's beauty is out of this world... Thank you Childe"

I see him put it in he's ring finger and stare at it for a while... Not like I mind.

"But if i remember correctly, I saw a pair for this... Did you buy it Childe?"

Shit.....
