I failed (Zhongli x Guizhong)

"Rex Lapis!" Guizhong, the God of Dust, called out to Rex Lapis, the God of Contracts, who is standing by the cliff and was fascinated by the scenery. The mountains so high, those healthy trees that bear the nicest and juiciest fruit

"Guizhong, how nice to see you here- what do you think you're doing?!" Guizhong cut him off and jumped to him that almost caused their fall

Even for that sudden accident and Guizhong getting afraid that Morax might get mad, he just chuckled that made Guizhong sigh in relief as she snuggled her face through his chest and kept hugging him

"No wonder I fell in love with you" Rex Lapis suddenly said that made Guizhong froze, her eyes widen while looking at Moraz is now blushing from what he just said

"w-what did you say?" Guizhong asked, she could feel her heart beating fast

"I said I fell in love with you" he repeated that made the God of Dust tear up in joy

In panic, Morax sat straight up "I-i should've not said that.." he turned his face away, because of shame, but he was surprised when he felt Guizhong's touch and suddenly pulled him for a kiss, in much surprise, Morax gave in

To his surprise, Guizhong and him have mutual feelings for each other

Everything was going on so smoothly, until one day...

"M-morax, promise me to live on.. be strong without me.. o-okay?"

Morax was devastated, tears fell from his eyes, he can't accept the fact he was carrying his dying lover

"D-don't say anything like that! Y-you'll survive just hold on to me okay?" Morax said, carrying her to a safe place

He placed her under a tree, far away from the chaos, Guizhong coughed blood that made Rex Lapis himself, scared, it was the first time he was scared for years. He looked back from the battlefield and the time he looked back at Guizhong, his world stop spinning when he saw his own lover, the Goddess of Dust, Guizhong, dead on the spot

"Morax what are you waiting for?!" Barbatos said and froze within his feet when he saw the god of contracts holding the goddess dust in his arms, crying and praying that he wishes she would come back, that he didn't tell him who much he loves her

"Morax, we can't bring her back" Barbatos replied sadly that made Morax's eyes flame in anger and ended the war by himself

-fast forward to 2500 years later-

"Mr Zhongli! You were staring at the glaze lilies again!" Paimon blurted out of nowhere "w-wait, why are you crying?! Did Paimon did something bad?!"

"these were her favorite flowers" Zhongli said it out of nowhere that made the traveler, Childe and Paimon confuse

"It's rare to see Mr. Zhongli himself, crying in front of us" Childe spoke

"what do you mean?" Traveler asked

"you see, whenever he sees glaze lilies or even hear his dead lover's lullaby, he starts remembering those times where he and her fought for the Archon war, he survived yet the Goddess of Dust his lover didn't even make it" Childe starts explaining

"what's the point of being strong when I, the god of contracts, couldn't even protect you.." Zhongli said, and staring at the glaze lilies, remembering her smile and every moment he was with her
