[ Zhongli chuckles under his breath, not because he does not believe in the sincerity of Childe's statement. The truth is there in those beautiful fathomless eyes of his.
But it is silly, really, that he thinks Zhongli would want to wait. That he would want to waste even more time when the object of his affections was right in front of him and just as eager to move past their rocky past (for surely there was something else there, something that Childe wasn't or couldn't tell him).
The time for waiting and patience had long since past. ]
Why do we have to wait at all? Have we not already let too many years pass us by, waiting for something anything to change our situation?
[ Zhongli leans forward to place a kiss softly on Childe's lips since he had been so gracious as to close the space between them. ]
I will not interfere with your work, knowing how it is important to you. But let me be the person who welcomes you home, Childe.

Nothing would make me happier.
