[ childe just inadvertently leans into zhongli's scritches. ] Mmm.
My favorite season? I would have to say either fall or spring. I get plenty of winter back home, so as much as I enjoy the snow and all the activities to be done in it I can't exactly say it's my favorite. It's been nice to experience other types of weather, even if some of them are way too hot. [ looking at you, liyue. it's probably not even that hot, he's just bad at heat. ]
I enjoy the mild temperatures and both of them are so colorful. Whether the flowers are blooming or the leaves are falling. I like them both, and taking a stroll with some good company with that as the backdrop just sounds perfect to me.
[ Zhongli takes notes, painstakingly typing up a request that is much longer than the normal. And throughout all of his writing, he continues to pet Childe affectionately, lips quirking into a smile as he imagines Childe being able to enjoy all of those things anytime he wants. ]
A pity the heat is your least favorite.
You look so endearing with a flush of color across your freckles.
[ and then he leans just a little bit too much, which lands him half in zhongli's lap. hope you don't mind, zhongli, because he doesn't want to move. instead, he just turns onto his back and looks up at him. ] I don't hate the summer. I'm just not used to the heat. [ his cheeks color red. ] O- oh, so you... like seeing me flushed?
Come on now, Xiansheng, you spoil me plenty. Without even realizing it, apparently. It's not just about buying things. [ sets a hand on the phone he used to make the purchase. ] You're always there when I need you, and even when I don't realize I need you, like after the bad games...
...and I could say the same for you, Xiansheng. In fact, I will, I want you to be happy too. Nothing makes my heart sing more than seeing you smile... seeing you genuinely enjoying yourself, ... [ he reaches to cup his face, leaning in to brush their lips together. ] H- Hah, please, Xiansheng... I... I needed you today. [ he scoots closer, moving to lay his head on his shoulder. ] I'm glad you came. [ he grabs at his shoulder, digging his nails in. ] I don't want to lose anybody else.
No. Nonononono. [ he leans into him and shuts his eyes. ] I think you're doing fine. It's going to take some time for this sadness to settle... sensei was one of my first friends here, so it... just hits harder... [ he trails off, purring quietly as he bumps his head up into zhongli's hand. ] I love you, Xiansheng. [ turns, slipping both of his arms around him and mashing his face into zhongli's chest. ]
...mm, and I'll always have my memories. [ ahahhhhhhhh. ] Do you remember when we first arrived, I think it was a few days into our stay here... he called you over because I had turned myself into a snake and my arm was fused to my side. [ he laughs, reaching for zhongli's head and gliding his fingers through his hair. ] He also helped nudge me into confessing to you, you know...
[ follows his eyes and then looks back to zhongli. ] We should start making preparations then, mm, and this time... [ he leans in and gives his cheek a kiss. ] I look forward to doing it with you. You can tell me all about it while we work.

Re: day 512, @BARiTONES - post graduation
Though some forms are of it are admittedly even more endearing. Like when you allow me the rare opportunity to spoil you in return.

Look at you even now - lifting my spirits after a day like today.

You won't lose anyone else. Not forever.
Also---
[ He gently tweaks one of his ears. ]
I'm doing a poor job distracting you if you are still dwelling on such thoughts.
[ And he slips fingers carefully behind Childe's fox ears to start scritching in what he hopes is the most comforting and distracting way possible ]

[ Scritches will continue until... well not expecting morale to improve, so they will just be continuing ]
I am glad that you met him and Alexander. Just as I am sure that they were happy to have met you.

Re: day 512, @BARiTONES - post graduation
[ And the atrocious contract the two of them made during that time but bringing that up would probably spoil things. ]
I also remember that double date that the two of you arranged with homemade meals of Teyvat just in time for the lantern season.

[ Looks over Childe's shoulder at Scaramouche ]
It'd be nice to show him as well, don't you agree?
