You are Childe, a beta

You had considered Zhongli a friend, a potential mate. But then he handed his gnosis over to Signora and never once looked you. After a few weeks, you had gone to check on him, finding out he was an Omega and in heat. You had helped and even confessed, but he never responded. After the heat, you avoided him completely.

Zhongli has become desperate. After his heat, Childe never once came to see him. He doesn't understand. He thought that they were mates already, that they are in love. But Childe keeps on avoiding him, his scent always sour. Zhongli's inner Omega cries out in pain from such a cruel rejection. He must fix this. He must.

You are heading to your personal quarters when you notice the door ajar. You enter and are shocked to find Zhongli on your bed, in a nest.

Zhongli: Childe, you're back.
