M/n's new route of life made him the happiest man in existence. He had two lovers, and four best friends(Hu Tao, Gale, Xiao, and Ai) and lived in a beautiful place quite the opposite of his modern world life! Though his relationship with Yelan was still strange he was happy as could be!

M/n stretches his arms above his head as he sat up, it was an early Saturday morning. Zhongli and Tartaglia were still asleep in bed on each side of him, not bothered by the shifting nor the sun shining into their room. This made it easier for M/n to move around in the morning because the two be loved weren't early raisers like he was. The sleepy dendro user shuffles downstairs to cook breakfast for everyone only to find that there were no eggs.
"Ah hell, I forgot to get eggs yesterday...Oh that's right I was getting eggs yesterday but Tartaglia came out of nowhere and lead me out of the market...I wonder what that was about?"The male shrugged his shoulder and quickly went back up to the room to change clothes and then out the door to the market.

M/n was happily greeted by the citizens of the harbor, he stopped and talked to everyone who crossed his path. Many asked about how his life was going, asking about his lovers, and Ai. Eventually M/n purchases the egg only to run into something soon as he turned around.
"Oh so sorry sir. Allow me to buy you some more."M/n steps back to see a strange man, the man had blue hair and dark ruby-colored eyes. His smirk sends chills down M/n's spine.
"Uh you don't have to sir, it's fine..."

"No, no, I insist. It's my fault you dropped your eggs."The man makes a quick move around M/n and quickly purchases a dozen eggs. The shorter of the two says his thanks and then immediately tries to leave but the man catches his wrist.
"You come across as familiar to me. You wouldn't happen to be M/n, right?"

"Yes but who are you."M/n pulls his wrist free from the stranger who knew of him. The man laughs a bit while throwing his hands up.
"Sorry about the late introduction, my name is–"

"DOTTORE!!!"The two jump from Tartaglia's loud voice, and the ginger quickly placed himself between the two. He nearly growls at Dottore for touching his lover.
"Tartaglia? What are you doing up so early?"

"When I woke up I couldn't find you anywhere in the house so I came to get you before the others woke up, I assumed that the elders were holding you hostage again but it's him that held you up..."Tartaglia's eyes glow dangerously, like the wolf he is he glares even more. It suddenly made sense to M/n as to why Tartaglia took him away from the market the day before.
How long has Dottore been in Liyue then...Hell, why is he even here!? I don't remember him coming to Liyue at all so why now...Is this another change due to my being alive?
M/n began to worry now, he grabs onto Tartaglia's hand gaining his attention.
"W-We should hurry back home..."At first, Tartaglia didn't move, he couldn't understand why Dottore would approach M/n even after he warned the crazy man to stay away from him.

M/n gently tugs at the other's hand and manages to get the ginger to turn away from Dottore.
"Please, let's go home Tagila...I feel off."

"Sorry about that, let's get going."Tartaglia quickly pulls M/n away not catching the frown on Dottore's face as they hastily leave the market.
"Hmm, seem he doesn't remember me... He'll remember soon enough. What a foolish child that brut is, he doesn't realize that he can't always be where M/n is."

"Sir Dottore, We should head off before it's too late."

"Right."The blue-haired man closes his eyes, thinking back on the time he first saw M/n. He chuckles and then follows the agent assigned to him for his trip.
You'll remember me and soon you'll never forget me.
