Flower boy 💐 (Zhongli x Childe)

🌸First sightings

🌹____________/000\___________🌹

[Zhongli💭: It was already late, I couldn't get myself to sleep . Somehow he was stuck in my head. My thoughts were spiralling around him all night. I didn't know what it was about him that drew me and my attention towards him. Quite frankly I hadn't ever seen someone as interesting as him. ]

💐 —3 Days prior, Wednesday— 💐

[Childe💭: the shop's been so busy the last few days, it's exhausting. I really wish I could take more breaks but I have to remember why I'm doing this..here goes nothing, another costumer.]
[Childe: Welcome to Ley's Flowers sir! How may I help? ]

[Zhongli: Good morning, I'd just like a medium bouquet please.]

[Childe💭] ugh how I hate doing bouquets. They're all the same and so boring. Bet this guy won't be different.
[Childe] Yes of course! What can I get for you?

[Zhongli: Iwas thinking of some black roses and some red Camellia's mixed in. I'd also like some greens, please. ]

[Childe💭: oh- I was so wrong. That's such an extravagant order. I love it! It's exciting.]

[Childe: Of course! I can do that for you sir. What greenery would you like? Some grass and fern? ]

[Zhongli] Yes please, that sounds lovely.

[Childe] Alright. I'll go get that for you from the back, it'll be just a second!

{Childe goes to the back to get everything he needed for the Bouquet leaving Zhongli alone with his thoughts.}

[Zhongli💭: I Hope she'll like the Bouquet.. I'm not quite sure it'll suit her taste but it's worth a try....]
[ Zhongli💭: The flower boy's eyes are such a extraordinary shade of blue.. it's irritating but quiet interesting too]

{ After a short while Childe returned from the back of the shop with Zhongli's choice of flowers in hand, looking rather joyful and excited. }

[Childe: I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long. I just have to bind it into a bouquet and you'll be ready to go! ]

[Zhongli] Thank you, Flower boy.

{ Childe starts binding the flowers into a bouquet, shortening them, trimming the greens and wrapping them in paper. }

—Zhongli's POV— 🌼

Only after it happened did I catch myself. I was staring the whole time. I was staring as the flower boy put together my bouquet. I couldn't help but notice his weirdly attractive hands move so surely with every movement whilst he put together the flowers. The way his fingers gently caress the flowers to get them into place..

{ Zhongli's daydream was interrupted }

[Childe: My name is Childe, sir. Here's your bouquet. Enjoy it, have a good day! ]

[Zhongli: Thank you, Flower boy.]

—Childe's POV— 🌷

{ After I came back to the front after getting everything and started to bind the bouquet, I could notice.. someone staring. I don't know why but it didn't make me feel uneasy as it usually would.
After he walked out I saw he had super long hair hidden in a bun, quite attractive man.. his wife is lucky. Handsome man and he gets flowers? What more would one want. Anyway, back to work. No way I'd have a shot with him anyways.. }

{Present day; Saturday morning}

[Zhongli💭: God I slept awful.. i never thought a stranger could steal my beauty sleep. -.-]

{Zhongli now got out of bed, quite annoyed at the fact he didn't get any sleep. He stumbled into the bathroom, brushed his teeth, brushed his hair , changed his clothes into loose black jeans and a dark red-ish waistcoat. He put his hair into a long ponytail since he was too lazy to bother putting it into a bun or anything fancy like it. }

[Zhongli💭: why do I feel like visiting the flower boy again? Actually if I think about it, it seems logical. He robbed my sleep. Alright I guess.. can't hurt to visit right ?]

{Zhongli put on his finest shoes and headed out. He has a relatively short walk to the Flower shop Childe works at. Only about 10 minutes. Today he only needed 5 minutes. Excitement to see his sleep robbing Flower boy had Zhongli speed walking like a child who saw the cotton candy store at an amusement park. After he had arrived at Ley's Flowers he stood in the doorframe really awkwardly for a few minutes, just staring at the front desk of the shop. Unwilling to admit, but Zhongli was happy to see the red headed sleep robber at the front desk of the flower shop.}

Afterword: This is it for the firs chapter for now- I've already got a load of new ideas and depending on how this will do, will release them. For now I hope you enjoyed this.
Until next time friend!
