Childes POV:

I look away from Zhongli and i feel my vision start to blur,wen i reach my hand to my eyes i feel tears running down my face.

I look down and start coughing again,wen i cough the blood spills to the floor and 10 petals are there.

I feel disgusted by this and stand up,but before i could leave i feel a hand grab me.

"....Childe......why are you coughing blood with petals?.........."

No ones POV:

Childe looks at Zhongli with teary eyes and hes face red mouth quivering and hes eyes half closed,Zhongli seeing this stands up and hugs Childe.

Childe in response starts coughing harder, "Childe.. Do you have the Hanahaki disease?...... "

Childe in response to this thosent say anything and looks down to he's feet,"yes.......i do......."

Zhongli hearing this only hugs him tighter "who?"..........know that is something Childe could never say.... Unless... "..Its..umm.....No one...its fine Xiancheng you dont have to worry its rea-"

"Childe......who is it" this time Zhongli was being serious about this,hes 'friend' was in danger cause of a person that might not even love him back and that pissed him off....Maybe after he finishes helping Childe he can blow some mountains that are far away,to release hes anger.

"I-.........fine....you promise you wont hate me......" Zhongli smiles and nods "You also promise not to let go of me?" Zhongli simply nodded again in response and waited patiently for the answer.

"The person im in love with... is......"

"You Xiancheng..."

Childes POV:

Here it comes...i knew it.....i shouldn't have said it... He's gonna hate me know isn't he?

I fucked up.... I really did, this time.....

"Tartaglia.."

Oh no, I know this tone.... He's mad..... Know he hates me... But at least he won't let go... He promised......

I feel a slight pain in my chest and push Zhongli away, only to my surprise, I cough again......

I can't breathe.... It's hard to....... Breathe...... Why can't I breathe?........ Why is the world spinning?.......

Is this..... How I....

Die?......

Scaramouche POV:

I wonder what's taking Kazuha so long.... I hear foot steps walking by and I compose myself, once I see the door slide I see the same man that looked at me dirty limping and settling down on the soft sofa besides the bed.

"........." It was silent... Too silent.... It made me sick.... "...... So-"

"Shut it"

I stop speaking and look down at my lap.

"I.... I'm sorry-"

"I said to shut up"

.... Well this was gonna be a long evening.... Man I wonder how Childe is....

Thoes he even miss me?..... Na I mean it's Childe.... The only person who treated me as a normal human being and not some kind of tool..... The one I fell in love with... And the one who is killing me.....

I feel a hand on top of mine and I look to the direction we're the hand came from, non the less it's that stubborn man.

".... Are you ok?.... You spaced out there..."

I look away and humm in approval and take my hand away from he's.

"I heard you have the disease.... You ok?"

I scoff and look at him with an angry expression "What do you know!" realizing what I said I look down again and sigh.

"I-.......Im sorry..... I'm just mad cause of something I thought and put my anger on you..... I'm sorry.."

Suddenly i feel a couple of hands hugging me?....... Wait.... Hugging me?.....

I feel my vision get a bit blurry and then feel my face get wet, I slowly lift my hand to my face and felt tears coming down..... I'm crying....

This hug.... Is not like others I've had.... Not like the cold hearted once that my mother gave me.... Not like the genuine once that Childe gave me... Not the once I used to request from the fatui.... It felt... Warm.... Welcoming... And Amazing... This hug was not filled with hatred nor disguste.. Instead it was filled with love.. Sadness.. And concerned ness, I feel so secure here.....

"P-please....can you stay like this for a little bit longer?...."

"But of course.... I'll be right here with you.. No matter what.... Cause I do know how you feel... Maybe not with your past but what you're going through... I do know... I had it too.... It lasted a really long time... And wen I tought I was done for... Kazuha came in my life.. And helped me out... He's a really kind man..... I promise.... Just give him a chance and you'll see that it was worth it... "

I sigh and slowly my eyes give out..

It's so warm...... I wish......

I just wish... That the Archons would grant me this little wish.... A single wish that I ask for.... I don't mean to be greedy.... But if they could grant me.... Living the life.... With this amazing couple.... I would owe them for the rest of my life.........

Please...... Just a bit longer...

Just a tiny bit if that's possible......

Let me stay like this just for a bit longer........ Just a tiny bit... Please..
