Zhongli had the best sex he had in years last night. He was so scared of breaking his back but, Childe has a small dick! Everything is well in liyue.. as long as we pretend childe didn't ditch zhongli after. He woke up to see no red head laying with him. He was pretty disappointed that his lover wasn't with him. He understands the hardships that comes with being a fatui harbinger however, not even a note. He was feeling very unloved by childe. He plans on crushing him with a meteor later. He may or may not be joking.

He stopped at Xiangling's restaurant for some breakfast to get his mind off of Childe. He greeted the cheerful girl in response she smiled and waved. She seemed very happy to have him there. This is nothing out of the ordinary because she's just an overall happy person.

Zhongli still hold a grudge for Childe's behavior though. He truly was acting like a child. He left him with his ass in complete pain and didn't even bother to help him. He could care less though because he'll get him back later.

He ordered himself a nice breakfast and enjoyed it while he thought of what to do to the ginger. There was so much to do, he took his time eating and reached in his pocket to pay. He had mora for once in his life. His heart nearly dropped when he thought there was nothing in his pocket. He doesn't know why but, today he suddenly doesn't feel that well. 

He is a god so it could be the fact that he retired or something. Old people don't feel that god after retiring. None the less, it's probably nothing and he'll go on with his day.

His day consisted of helping the traveler do their commissions. This was not how he wanted to spend his day but, his beloved childe wasn't around at all. He needs to get his mind off of this guy for sure.

That's when childe soon joined in on the commissions too.

"Hey comrade!" Childe told the traveler, completely ignoring zhongli.

Paimon noticed something was off but, she kept her mouth shut. Zhongli actually wished Paimon would say something.

"Hey.. so are you going to help us fight these slimes or not?" Aether rolled his eyes, taking out his sword.

Childe nodded and began to use his bow.

This was zhonglis last straw. He threw the rock onto the slimes.. so mad that he critted. Bro did 100k on those poor slimes.

"Jeez, what has you in a bad mood today.. mr.zhongli.." Childe laughed softly looking over at his lover.

This is when zhongli lost it and tackled down the ginger. Childe was in complete shock. The traveler and Paimon were too.

Paimon found this quite funny though. She covered her mouth, holding back her laugh. She never seen the two fight before.

Aether is shocked this is what made zhongli snap. Not the fact Childe Newley destroyed his nation.. noo.. being ignored drove him insane. He found this so embarrassing.

He was just going to watch what goes down though. He needed some good entertainment these days.

Zhongli was choking out the poor guy. Usually childe would've loved this treatment but, he knows this was an attempt at killing him now. He can't believe this. After everything they've been through.. what could he have done to anger a god?!

Oh.

He ditched him this morning.

After they had some hardcore smexy sex.

Oh god.

He didn't mean to.

This is so bad.

Childe coughed, "m-mister.. zhongli!!" He tried to remove his hands from his throat.

"L-let me speak.." he whined.

Zhongli loosened his grip a little bit. "why should I? You didn't speak to me this morning. Did you?" He asked.

Childe knows that's true. This made him more nervous. He needed a good excuse. "I had fatui business to do early this morning! Please!" He wanted to sob for help. The traveler and Paimon found this entertaining though! The two were just watching eating skewers together!

He couldn't believe he was being treated like this by his dear comrades.

Zhongli let go and pat his head. "Ajax. You can't lie to me. Why did you go?"

Childe gulped, he was so nervous. He didn't know what to say.

"Uh uh uh.. cause it would've been so awkwa-"

When childe opened his eyes again, Paimon was floated above him. She was waving her arms. "Ohh Childe!! Wake up already!"

Childe didn't know what happened but he had a complete headache. He put his hand on his head and groaned.

"I.. what happened?" He asked.

Aether came to him with an apple. "Zhongli, threw a giant rock at you and left. You were out for an hour." He gave the apple to Childe.

Childe realized he mega fucked up and didn't even know what to do about it. He would have to give a whole apology to his lover or he may not have one ever again. He was truly doomed.

Aether and Paimon knew Childe was doomed because they've never seen Zhongli so mad with him. They feel it would be best to stay out of their fight though. It's not their business and they had shit to do. Zhongli and Childe had their things to do.

Aether would rather be in the hellhole of inazuma then see whatever went down with them again.

That's exactly what he was going to do as well. "Me and Paimon gotta go now. We'll see you two whenever right?"

Paimon nodded quickly. "Yes! Paimon agrees! We have business in inazuma to attend hehe! Bye!!"

Aether and Paimon rushed off which left childe all alone with an angry god who can be.. archons know where.

He can't believe those two would ditch him like that but, it gave him a better understanding on how Zhongli felt. He'll need the apology of the century to get zhongli to forgive him. That's exactly what he was going to get too.
