Water flowed down your back as you stood in the shower, your dark hair cascading damply down your back as you turned the faucet connected to the shower head off. You stepped out of the bathtub and grabbed a towel, securing it around your waist as water gently dripped off your torso and arms. A light breeze from the AC caused a small shiver to run down your spine as you walked to the sink, looking at yourself in the mirror above it. You took your precious time to dry and brush your hair before tying it back up into its usual thin ponytail.

Opening the door, you stepped out into the hallway. The house was unusually quiet, normally your lover, Childe, would be running around with his little brother Teucer whenever you were showering or doing something else busy. You walked down into the living room to look for Childe when you were suddenly “ambushed” by him, holding an obviously plastic toy gun at your damp torso.

“Hands up, Zhongli! You’re under arrest!” Childe exclaimed, his tone playful as the ginger looked into your amber eyes with his impish blue ones. He was obviously waiting for you to entertain him, it was painfully obvious he was bored since Teucer wasn’t around, being babysat by Arlecchino at her daycare currently.
