the next morning, the two woke up, hands intertwined with one another. they were satisfied with the vacation and was glad to finally spend time together.

they decided to walk around the forest and jungle of sumeru looking around the space. they stumbled across a rose that seemed out of place. "oh, this is rainbow rose. it's actually from fontain. i wonder how it got here.." childe said.

"and how do you- ah, never mind.. you travel everywhere." wanderer huffed, crossing his arms. childe chuckled and pick the flower up, handing it to wanderer. "haha, i sure do! this rose shows love and affection to those who received it. so please take it."

wanderer blushed a bit and take the rose. "ugh.. how troublesome.."

Childe chuckled at Wanderer's response, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Troublesome, huh? Well, I hope this little bit of trouble brings you some joy," he said, ruffling Wanderer's hair affectionately.

Wanderer glanced at the rose in his hand, the vibrant colors catching his eye. Despite his grumbling, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his chest at the gesture. "Yeah, yeah. I guess it's not so bad," he muttered, a small smile tugging at his lips.

They continued their walk, the lush greenery of Sumeru surrounding them. The air was fresh and filled with the sounds of nature, creating a serene atmosphere. Childe took Wanderer's hand, interlacing their fingers as they strolled through the forest.

"Isn't it nice to just relax and take in the beauty of this place?" Childe asked, his voice soft.

Wanderer nodded, squeezing Childe's hand. "Yeah, it is. I didn't realize how much I needed this until now," he admitted, his eyes taking in the vibrant flora and fauna around them.

As they wandered deeper into the jungle, they came across a small clearing with a gentle stream running through it. The water sparkled in the sunlight, and the area was dotted with colorful flowers and plants. It was a perfect spot to rest and enjoy the tranquility.

Childe led Wanderer to a fallen log by the stream, where they sat down together. "This place is really something," Childe said, taking a deep breath of the fresh, earthy air.

Wanderer leaned against Childe, resting his head on the ginger's shoulder. "Yeah, it is. Thanks for bringing me here," he said softly.

Childe wrapped an arm around Wanderer, pulling him closer. "Anything for you, Shitoma. I just want you to be happy."

They sat in comfortable silence, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the closeness they shared. The gentle babbling of the stream and the chirping of birds created a soothing symphony that made the moment even more special.

After a while, Wanderer lifted his head and looked at Childe. "Hey, Ajax?"

"Yeah?" Childe replied, turning his gaze to meet Wanderer's.

"Do you think we'll have more moments like this in the future?" Wanderer asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Childe smiled warmly, brushing a strand of hair from Wanderer's face. "Of course we will. I'll make sure of it. No matter how busy things get, I'll always find time for us. I promise."

Wanderer nodded, feeling reassured by Childe's words. "Alright. I'll hold you to that promise," he said, his expression softening.

Childe leaned in and kissed Wanderer's forehead. "You can count on it, Shitoma."

As they ventured further into the lush jungles of Sumeru, they encountered various wildlife, each species more fascinating than the last. Birds with vibrant plumage flitted through the trees, and small, colorful lizards scurried along the forest floor.
