#you and i, god or not.

—he was the god you hated, and you’re the human he liked

CHARACTERS. Zhongli; gn! Reader

THEMES. kind of friends to lovers and enemies to lovers when you squint. crack mostly.

WARNINGS. mention of rex lapis’ “death”; mention of blade as a metaphor

WORD COUNT. 1.9k words

NOTES. Pretty sure this had been rotting in my drafts for several months, idek when i finished it

Liyue, the City of Contracts. Yet, it is also the city of business, the city of the Adepti, and the city rich in lore.

One would find it difficult to search for a local to not believe in any of the Adepti—most especially Rex Lapis, the lord of Geo and the land. Anyone and everyone knew they were true, thus rare is it for someone to claim the opposite without doubt with it.

Faith, however, is a far different word.

There are people who choose not to have faith in the divinity because they didn’t care or because they have had bad experiences with the topic, which is far more often than not.

You? You were the former—you simply didn’t care.

Difficult may it be to comprehend that someone who lives in Liyue has no such trust and faith towards its god, it was true, and you’ve come to find that there are also others like you, especially in the present time.

People, apparently, move on.

Generations and generations have passed since the so-called Archon War, where all gods fought and the Seven emerged victoriously. It had also been a while since the lord who was called from the skies had fallen to his death, causing great pain to those who have deeply been devoted to the divine.

You’ve seen it all, actually. You were passing by at that time and you found the whole scene quite… empty, dull. You supposed it was how deaths are, naturally. You weren’t attached to the god, but seeing the clouds above the others’ heads, utterly confused and shocked at what was happening, you recognized the feeling of silence and unease inside your chest.

It was the last time, but you prayed for his soul.

“I still don’t care, but doesn’t mean I’m cold-hearted,” you say to your friend, the very one who had been snickering as she placed down a bowl of snacks in front of you, ones that she promised to fetch as you sat comfortably in the middle of her office, “Hu Tao, stop looking at me like that.”

“Like what?”

“Like I just gained favor towards a certain god that I claimed I didn’t care about. Seriously, stop.”

“Not yet,” The plum-eyed girl giggles on her fist, still with that sly look, “Alright, alright, but-“

“Shh! Don’t wanna hear anything!” you abruptly stood up and you heard your friend laugh opposite you as you went marching towards the door, saying, “Anyway, I got to go, my job’s calling me.”

“Your job’s always calling you,” Hu Tao muses as she stands to follow you out, “And my offer still stands-”

“Bye, Tao!” you cut her off, knowing she was about to say about the funeral service bonus she had been singing to you about ever since you told her you’d become an Adventurer.

“Oh? A new worker?” you inquired rather loudly that the person whom you had set your eyes upon looked up and met them, and for some reason, your heart skipped a beat and made you turn away.

Something tells you the man was bad news. And apparently, Hu Tao thinks the same.

“That’s Mr. Zhongli, my new consultant! But I highly doubt you two would be friends,” she says to you specifically, only to pat your shoulders and disappear away.

That girl—you don’t know if you should be asking yourself why she’s your friend or if you truly found her company entertaining. And maybe the answer was yes to both.

“I apologize for that,” you say once you had gotten close to the man, once again meeting his eyes. They were sharp, golden, and almost like they had been curved in the perfect way possible for the shape of his face—it suits him, you think, but that’s not what you should think about anyway, “I’m Y/n, a friend of Hu Tao’s.”

Again, were you?

He greets you with a gentle smile, one that wasn’t too stiff and was not too friendly as well—the average, just lukewarm enough, “It is a pleasure to be of your acquaintance, Y/n.”

The way he said your name made you almost gasp for air—odd, dangerous.

Just who exactly is this man?

“You remind me of someone, Mr. Zhongli.”

“Is that so?” he responded as you both made your way back to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. You were by the market when you found the man almost getting scolded for not bringing his Mora after purchasing some flowers that he explained were for work, it was a good thing you had just been given your paycheck for that was what you lent him for his endeavor.

“Yes, but I don’t quite point out who,”

“Manager Hu also voiced the same thing,” he says, almost so sudden that you were not prepared for the next words, “she said that she reminded me of the Statue of the Seven, where the lord of Geo is-”

You made a noise that interrupted him—“Pft,”—and you would have been keeping your facade if you were not so off-guard.

“Rex Lapis?” you sputtered, wanting to laugh so hard, “Didn’t know Hu Tao’s a fan,”

“Fan?”

You nodded, “Well, can’t blame that. All she did was question me about the Adepti that I never bothered to ask her,” you then paused to look him in the eye, “pardon me, but I’m not much of a fan, actually. I don’t really care much about gods and goddesses… if they even exist.”

You muttered the last few words, but you were sure he might have caught them nonetheless.

“I see,” he says, quite different and contrary to the reactions of others whom you also told the same, “you seem to be a person who ‘doesn’t beat around the bush,’ as others would call it. I find that rather commendable.”

You felt your face heat up from his praise and underneath his gaze. He’s genuine, and he’s far from any other you’ve ever met. You felt at ease and your steps towards the parlor seemed to have become lighter.

Months later, it was no surprise that you and ZHONGLI had begun dating—well, it was only Hu Tao who was expecting such an outcome.

“I thought you said we two wouldn’t be friends?”

“Are you two not more than friends, then?”

He was sweet—too much that you wanted to propose to him and keep him to yourself, but that would be quite improper. He makes you feel the butterflies that you didn’t know you’d ever feel towards a certain someone.

“I have something I have to say to you.”

When he said those words, the same butterflies seemed to have vanished, especially with the next set of sentences he voices out—the truth to his identity.

You used to like his voice—used to. Not now when he was telling the stories of the god who had abandoned you when you prayed for him before, and now he’s saying that ”I am Rex Lapis”?

The world around you spins, and you were thankful that at the very least, he had opted on having you two seated during the conversation, and that you were far away from anyone else. He probably intended that, because he knew that this secret is not meant for everyone and that you needed the fresh, crisp air of the evening breeze, to calm down your nerves.

Which proved to be unsuccessful, apparently.

“I… Could I… Can you give me some time to think about… this? Whatever this is, I-” you looked him in the eyes, and even if you had hatred towards the god that he claims to be, this man—Zhongli, you still liked him. It wasn’t love, not yet, but you were fairly sure that you liked him enough to think about this.

“Of course,” he says, “take as much time as you want.”

You couldn’t see it with your eyes in the worry of your weakness to meet them, but a flash of fear laces his face. He wanted to know why you had been so against the gods—a god like him, and as much as he wanted to keep the truth to himself and to keep you for himself, this needed to be done. With your hatred towards the gods, being in a relationship with a god like him would break you the moment he reveals it halfway.

It would’ve been so much better if he wasn’t a god.

But if he wasn’t, would he have met you?

You lied. You’re a liar—a good one at that.

It was not a matter of care—your nonexistent faith towards the gods. It was merely the aftermath of what you had sworn to yourself the day you started to believe that they did not care about you.

Or your family.

Mingyun Village was once filled with people, striving with the mines and living peacefully on their own. Your family was amongst them, even filled with praises, songs, and faith towards the lord of Geo who—from what you remembered they used to say—“let us stay here.” Funny, it was, for you also thought that way as well.

Not until they came—the monsters.

You prayed and prayed, probably for the last time until recently, but no help came, even after you all were stuck inside your house, frightened to death that the monsters would come bursting your door and-

Either way, at least you all were safe.

Your family retained their faith, even so far as thanking the gods that you all were still alive.

You, however, were changed.

“The god I used to believe in abandoned me—abandoned us when we were in deep need of him,” you never had the courage to, but you forced yourself to face him—he at the very least deserves it, the explanation, “only to have him in front of me years later. When I don’t really want him anymore.”

It was like a blade had pierced him right in his heart—of course, he could have been used to threats such as that during the Archon War, but this is a testament that words… words really do pierce you deeply, especially when it is said by someone whom you cherish.

“But the way I see you,”

This catches his attention once again as he tries to meet your eyes, only to realize that you were already staring far away as if you were trying to distance yourself from your words.

From him.

“The way I see you are different from the god I knew and have always known. So…” you paused and contemplated, heaving out a sigh, prompting a small smile on your face to appear despite everything else.

“I’d be glad to give this a chance,” you finally meet his gaze once again, and face to face, you say, “you and I. God or not. Just… as you and I… what do you say?”

You may have been a good liar, but you could never lie in front of this man.

His shoulders ease down and it was his turn to smile, the entirety of his being calming down suddenly.

“Then you and I, it shall. As long as you permit.”

Monster AU | Genshin Impact | 18+ | Overview

Monster AU: This AU brings your favorite Genshin characters into a more monstrous phase. From werewolves, to gorgons, to Naga, they all seem to have something going on. Each monster is twisted in some way, not directly based on the myths.

This AU is 18+, as well as this blog, asks are open for the au :)

Mondstadt

Diluc: Ollipheist, a typical European dragon when we think of it. Phoenix seems to be a bit typical, and fits Senora more so than Diluc. You only see him flying around at dawn.

Kaeya: Jotnar, ice giant, ice giant, ICE GIANT. He holds knowledge unlike those who walk this earth. The tallest of all the monsters you interact with, and holds a constant chill, along with secrets to fill your ears.

Jean: Valkyrie, I think this speaks for itself. Especially with her last name lol

Lisa: Fear Gorta, a woman eternally hungry and gluttonous, but not for food. Knowledge is her food. Ger presence is a sign of famines and falling back into darker times.

Albedo: Fae, the more mystical side of the fae. The ones that hold powers and knowledge that nothing can compare to. Teaches you many things from the aincient world, and expects your company and love in return.

Amber: Gancanag, usually a fairy, she seduces both men and women from their beds. Though traditionally a male figure, she's one that attracts other fae to her side to join in on the fun.

Barbara: Priestess, she's the one you go to when you wish to make peace with a being, or when needing guidance/to make an offering. Don't confuse her with a witch though.

Razor: Fenrir, yes I made him a wolf.

Bennett: Dullahan, think the headless horseman.

Diona: Fairy, the traditional pixie, think tinkerbell. She prefers to be around cats and their owners, but only if they're friendly and don't give alcohol as tributes/offerings.

Noelle: Banshee, she isn't for a particular clan or family, but more for those in the area she resides in. Her screams indicate deaths range from decades away to mere moments.

Klee: Leprechaun, yes. She is.

Eula: Merrow, a mermaid, for those up North.

Fischl: Sluagh, a restless spirit who can't move on to the next life. She grows more decrepit and malformed, whenever she becomes hysterical.

Rosaria: Abhartach, basically a vampire, but more feral/dangerous from what I've read. Rosaria hides her demons, but don't be surprised they they walk out themselves.

Venti: Fae, mainly due to his laid back nature, and his sense of freedom. Staying to himself most of the time. A peaceful being, though has a reputation of cause mischief when bored or denied his drinks.

Liyue

Ningguang: Ba Jiao Gui, around banana trees, this spirit appears to either be stuck or in some sort of harm. If you help her, she gives you winning numbers.

Ganyu: Quilin, peaceful and forever amazing ;-;

Keqing: Nu Gui, a female ghost who wears a red dress after taking her life, she wonders the earth.

Beidou: Zouyu, basically a character from stories passed down, but the general being that the Lion is fits her well.

Zhongli: Dragon, I'm a real thinker. Can you tell?

Xiao: Mogwai, not necessarily evil, or demonic. But bad things and evils seem to follow him wherever he goes. Goes through reproduction cycles during rainy season. Generally grumpy.

Hu Tao: Huli Jing, malevolent or peaceful, these are shape shifting being that are most noted for their nine-tailed fox forms.

Qiqi: Jiangshi, zombie baby;-;

Baizhu: Yeren, are crypids, and basically Bigfoot. Trust me, he's Bigfoot. Don't fight me on this.

Xiangling: Bai Gu Jing, now while she is not a mythological character, she yearn to eat the flesh of Tang Sanzang, while disguising herself as a village girl. Though she would eat anyone that crosses her on the wrong path.

Xinyan: Kui, resembling a drum or a dragon, this is actually the name of a legendary musician who invented music and dance, so I thought it would be fitting.

Chongyun: Xiezhi, with great intellect and with a will to to devour those corrupt, either in spirit or alive- he will do what's right.

Xingqiu: Yuan Gui, specifically for someone angered by death, I feel like if he were to die from anything other than old age, he'd feel like a failure. And in turn become a malevolent spirit.

Yanfei: Gui Po, taking the firm of an old woman, she would return to the places she worked to continue assisting the people. Yanfei said she'll sleep when she dies, but that's a promise she never kept. Such a busy bee.

Inazuma

Ayaka: Yokai (nothing specific yet animal wise), I can't think of anything specific, but Ayaka can't seem to be any type of malevolent spirit, and only a protector.

Kazuha: Tengu (I really wanted to make him the flying cotton ball that suffocated people at night, but decided against it), a bird protective spirit. Oh no. My originality. It's broken.

Sara: Kuchisake-Onna, I don't know why, but Sara just seems to have "slit mouth woman" vibes. Except she wouldn't ask if she was beautiful, I think she would ask if she's worthy.

Ei: Teke Teke, mainly due to her being half of a "whole" as well as her general hostility towards people, i thought this would be a good fit.

Kokomi: Oshiroibaba, a woman who offers face powder to girls, and once it's used, the girls face falls off. I thought Kokomi would be would be the type to do this for some reason.

Sayu: Kaze, a wind spirit/kutsune if I remember correctly.

Thoma: Amable, a protective spirit, one that specifically wards away illness. Due to Thomas affinity for cleaning, I thought he'd be a good fit here as well.

Yoimiya: Jorogumo, haha spider lady. She'd be a living being rather than a spirit, but I don't think she'd fall into a type of Goblin either.

Itto: Oni, again, my originality is showing. Ittos rage would probably come from his ability to win or loose battles. Other than his losses, he's generally calm and happy to be around.

Gorou: Chikyu, an Earth kitsune. Speaks for himself. He's a fox and his vision is Geo.

Miko: Kitsune (haha so original), a general kitsune, nothing too special. Mainly because her look and character is too tied into it to make a difference.

Scaramouche: Sankai and Kekkai, a spirit born that goes into hiding, only to come out years later, killing his mother. I think this would be the best fit.

The Abyss

Dainslief: Dark Elf, mainly due to the powers Dark Elves have, and because I didn't want him to become a living weapon. It's also goes hand in hand with the underground theory.

Lumine: Demigod of Moonlight, since she's representative of the moon and holds a French name, I decided to give her the status of a demigod.

Aether: Demigod of Sunlight, made him to compliment Lumine, and after Aether, Titan of the Upper Bright Sky.

Childe: Hydra, mainly due to foul legacy. But if we want something more Russian inspired, I think he'd be Bes. He would possess people and insight extreme rage, especially if one was to thread on a Sunday. But Besomar is a close second.

Childe oneshot; Blinded dreams

001. angst && death/mentions of death.

summary; you don't know who childe thinks of when he calls you, but you know it's not the you you wish you were.

( i feel bad for ditching y'all for this long so have one of my drafted oneshots originally written for wattpad, && if the reach on this is good, i'll let you guys have more [teehee] )

You met during summer.

And despite the sun blaring down, sending harsh rays to melt the skin right off your flesh, you did not know if the reason you were red faced was because of said sun, or because there was a pretty boy ( one of the prettiest, mind you ) that lived right next to you and he was currently hanging on the fence, waving at you with a smile on his face.

"Heya, (name)!" The way he says your name is breathtaking, almost as if it lived on the tip of his tongue yet he seemed foreign to it, as if he had not uttered the syllables in many years. Like a flower blossoming over the years, finally pulled out premature by small, fat fingers belonging to a mere child who wanted to see the flower in bloom. ( You forget you have never seen this child before. ) The flower is ruined however, its fragile petals fall into their palm and they shrug, as if they hadn't taken a life and move onto the next one, repeating the process. ( How does he know your name again? )

He peers at you ( it's similar to the way you would look at an old friend or the way your mother looks when you're going to family reunions and she has the bittersweet revelation that her father is still dead, ) and you blink, head rolling to the side, holding the bouquet of freshly picked dead flowers close to your chest, "How'd you know my name?"

His jaw slacks for just a second before his smile is back on his face, pulling himself up and flinging himself over the fence, landing right in front of you and causing you to take a tiny step back, "magic?" He tests the answer and shakes his head to revoke it when you furrow your eyebrows, not appreciating the joke. "Your mum was talking to mine," he speaks the truth when your face is unchanging to his plain joke.

You hum, and then walk back to the flower bed that was left behind by the previous family, and continue snapping stems off as collecting them in a heap next to you. The ginger boy follows you, although he doesn't sit down like you do but squats, hands close to his chest and watches as you pluck the flowers straight out of the earth. Although he followed you, he seemed more interested in the dead flowers, staring at one until you ripped it out the earth and then moved onto the next one.

He reaches out for a flower but you stop him, holding his fingers in yours and shaking your head when he looks over at you, questioning. "Thorns." An understanding breath escapes him as he continues watching you instead, your fingers dig against the dirt slightly, pushing it away before gripping the stem with your pointer and thumb before tugging ( there are many times when the force causes you to fall backwards slightly sometimes but it doesn't stop you. )

"Ajax!" You both hear coming from the boy's, probably Ajax, garden and you peer over him to when he suddenly stands up, going to jump back over the fence.

You test the name in your head a few times before your mouth follows, "Ajax," you stumbled a little but he turns around anyways, humming with a smile on his face, "I'll bring you a proper flower one day."

He nods and then disappears over the fence. You hear scoldings from his mother but tune them out. ( You didn't like the way his name felt new on your tongue, it didn't match the way he called you. )

You begged your mother to buy purple carnation seeds later that day.

━━━━━━━━━━━━

You are ten and 'Ajax' still sounds weird to you but you persevere.

It doesn't sound weird when your mother is the one calling him, asking him if he had enough pillows to be laying on your bedroom floor and he nods, leaning against the frame on your bed as you both bid goodnight and your mother nods, closing the door behind her. Almost immediately after the door clicks close, Ajax leans back onto your bed, making you quirk an eyebrow. "I can only sleep with two pillows."

You peer down at the head of his makeshift bed, at the foot of the closet next to your bed. There was only one pillow, you sigh and drop the pillow onto the floor. You don't wait until he says anything and slip into your own bed, pulling the cover over yourself, facing the wall rather than Ajax.

( You dream that night.

You dream of a world where man had the powers of Gods and Gods walked amongst men. Where the world was shaped by years of wars and work, where statues of Seven Gods were erected upon the land, granting peace and protection for people and animals alike.

You are sat around a marble circular table, the smell of food and tea hitting your nose. You peer up, there's a man sat a little across from you, clad in colours of cor lapis. His amber eyes hold no emotion, a diamond of memories steeping in his eyes as he brings up the cup to his lips and sips behind the hand he also brings up. His form is nothing less than godly and he sets the cup down without a sound━━━━ like a warrior. His shoulders roll down like waterfalls cascading from mountains, his hair is pulled back and bangs freely fall like leaves of a tree and you can see the scenery of Liyue in his very soul.

You don't know his name but it slips off your tongue perfectly, "Zhongli, where is Hu tao?"

(( Who is Hu Tao? ))

"The Director will be late, she is dealing with," he clears his throat in a way that lets you know his following words are a lie, "other troubling matters within the funeral parlor."

You nod, although you have no idea what he is talking about. "Do you know how late she will be?" You inquire, watching his eyebrows furrow and fingers flex, linen gloves pressing against his fingers as he does so.

You see Morax in him for a little while before his thinking subsides and he presses his lips into a line, "The Director did not state how long she will be."

You hum with nothing else to say and begin bringing your attention to the food that was beginning to grow cold on the table, "help yourself please," you signal Zhongli to the food and before he speaks, an amusing smile breaks out on your face, "I will be taking care of the bill."

His troubles subsides and he follows your words, grabbing the chopsticks by his ceramic plate. You two fall into a comforting silence, which is a peculiar yet nice feeling. Rather than a business meeting, it feels more like two old friends meeting up for a small chat.

A while passes with no sign of Hu Tao and you see Zhongli peer up from his food, eyes tracking another entity who had walked into the building, so you throw your head back a little.

"Childe." The boy looks eyes with you and a smile breaks out on his face when he sees you, the waves in his eyes crashing against the shore as his eyes crease. (( Childe? That was Ajax. ))

And you wake up to the sea washing up on shore eyes gazing down at you. )

━━━━━━━━━━━━

You are twelve, two years have passed and the dream you had stayed with you like a distant memory. Ajax's name still doesn't sound nice when you speak it and you feel like you're ruining it so you settled on a nickname, Aj. ( Only two letters, how could you make them sound wrong? )

"Aj," you call out the boy, whose smile widens when he sees you. Two syllables, but that's how you know him. He dismisses himself from the bind of conversation of two girls, who seemed pretty interested in him ( as a man ) and you knew that for sure because when you stepped your foot into their conversation, they glared at you slightly before stomping away.

The walk home was slightly awkward. For you anyways, because there were words that were burning at the tip of your tongue and sometimes letting lava erupt was a bad idea but leaving it to build up is also a bad idea.

"You okay?" Ajax almost gives you a 'go', peering up at you slightly ( you were taller than him, a feat you were quite proud of ).

You clear your throat slightly, starting off cautiously, "remember when we first met?"

And you don't know what you had expected because a stupid smile lights up on his face and he answers straightly, "no."

( Your poor two years of taking care of purple carnations, down the drain for a boy like this. )

━━━━━━━━━━━━

You are fifteen, stood in front of Ajax, holding a bouquet of purple carnations and a box of assorted chocolates behind your back. Sweat collects in the palms of your hand and you know it's not from the heat, you wipe both palms on the side of your sweater, watching him talk to his friends to give yourself a little more time for confidence before walking over there.

But the time shortens when his friend notices you, pointing out your figure to Ajax and he turns to you, a whole 180 degrees with his entire body and waves at you with his entire arm, you wave back with a shaky smile on your face when he begins to run your way after bidding his goodbyes to his friends.

He skids to a stop when in front of you, and can obviously see the flowers you were attempting to hide because a sly smile perks itself on his face. ( You would never admit to it, but he looked really good when he was smiling. )

"What are you hiding?" He hums, leaning down slightly with his hands behind his back as he attempts to see, you turn away, hiding the gifts for a little while longer. "Hold still," you press him down with one hand on his shoulder, stopping him and he straightens his back, humming.

"Listen," you take a deep breath because it's inescapable for you to not ramble this out, "we've been friends for a really long time, yeah? And I know this is really weird and out of the blue but I really like you and I'm sorry if I'm ruining our friendship but I've weighed the pros and cons of not having you as a friend and as someone I walk past in hallways and glance away awkwardly at, and the cons actually outweigh the pros but I really don't know if I can keep these feelings to myself because you're the only re━━"

A hand on your head stops you from talking anymore ( he's taller than you now, taller than most your peers actually ) and his smile is still there, "you're not breathing dear."

You don't realise he's called you 'dear', you feel like he's always been calling you that so it skips past your mind, and you take a deep breath. Presenting the gifts from behind you, Ajax stares at you with little expression on his face.

"I love you, Childe."

( Who is Childe? Why did he come to your mind now and why is Ajax tearing up?

There were many questions that entered your mind then, but they were all quickly forgotten when Ajax pushes your gifts aside, placing both hands on either side of your cheek and quite literally pulling you up to his height, pressing his lips against yours. You're both deaf to the sounds of whoops, whistles, and claps by his friends in the background as your arms circle his waist and his tears enters your kiss. )

━━━━━━━━━━━━

You are nineteen, and the way Ajax calls you is deafening to your heart.

"(name)," he breaths, in an indescribable way as if to say 'my (name)' and it should give you butterflies but the way he looked at you made you feel as though you were a soul trapped in the wrong body. He was giving you everything you had ever wanted in a way you had never wished.

You should stop him, because he's not in love with you. He's in love with the person he sees in you, but who is that person? Why do they mean so much to him? Can't he forget them? Why do you remind him of them? Is he stupid?

And most importantly, why the hell isn't he letting you go? You've died already━━━━ even if he still retains all his past memories, does he even know how unfair his gaze is? The way he says your name? It makes you want to wake from your grave, located near Liyue ( because though Childe was from Snezhnaya, you lived and loved near the peaks of Liyue and qingxin flowers were made to bloom above your resting place, delicately and preciously ).

The way his breath was hitting your bare skin, his cold lips were barely touching your burning flesh, the goddamn way he was muttering your name under his breath and you think you've finally snapped but you come completely undone when he stops, glancing back up at you with his eyes.

( Memories wash over you in an instant, the years you spent with him in Liyue, even if he was a Fatui Harbinger and Zhongli advised you, albeit indirectly, not to get involved with them and Xiao, not so indirectly, with a scowl on his face and then the memory of him taking your life in Liyue, with a single arrow through your chest and the last thing you see is the tsunami of emotions in his eyes and Xiao pulling him off of you. You've lived for so long, through so many lives and yet he is the only one who could completely tear you apart and make you lose all reason. )

"I love you, Childe, but please," the way you call his name makes his heart ache, in ways it has never before. "Let me go." And you wash away from his shore like a fleeting memory.

━━━━━━━━━━━━

Childe wakes up with his back sore and face cold due to leaning against your gravestone, he takes one hand to run through his hair, the other is placed above the grass where your body was buried and he peers down, grass entangled in his fingers, stabbing through the thin fabric of his glove like your hair did.

"Childe," he knows it's not you behind him, because you don't sound like a man nor a God and the way you called his name is more endearing, as if you were speaking a poem of two lovers but he turns anyways, and in his heart he hopes it's you.

But it's not, it's the Adeptus who held you close to his heart. Xiao's and Childe's relationship has never been good, simply because; a) their personalities clashed and b) they were on opposing sides but after your death, an unexplainable hatred grew in Xiao's heart for him.

( In Xiao's mind, Childe was the one who cared for his job more than you and heeded orders to end your life. ) Childe cracks a smile on his face, waving Xiao off before he says anything and pushes himself off your grave, "you don't need to say anything, I'm going," he says in a playful tone, as if he were leaving a party.

Xiao's eyebrows furrow, lips curling into a snarl when Childe walks past him, "despicable," he spits. ( But if Childe had asked you to, you would've taken your own life. )
