2 days later

You were still feeling pretty sluggish from your moment so you were just chilling on your phone for the day.

"Hey N/n..." Kuroki knocks on your door with a lower tone of voice peaking through. He opens the door and waves.

"Yeah...?" You set down the book you were reading and stand up, he comes over to you and sighs.

"I hate to add bad news to misery but..." Kuroki stops and puts his hands on his hips.
"Dad died today, I want to travel to the states for his funeral." You gasp and cover your mouth, tears building up in your eyes.

"I'll come too, but do we even have enough money to travel that far?" Kuroko nods.

"For 3 tickets." You tilt your head and raise an eyebrow.

"3? Who else is going?" Kuroki knocks on the door and Aki steps in, you immediately hug her and pull back yor tears.

"N/n...I'm so sorry..." Aki rubs your back and sniffles, Kuro leans against the wall and pulls out his phone.

"We'll be leaving tomorrow at 8am, be ready." He walks out and closes the door, you and Aki sit down on your bed in silence.

"So, how are you handling it?" Aki leans down to be in your vision and scrunches her eyebrows.

"I guess I'm just, dazed...last time I saw him he was a cheerful and goofy old man." Aki nods and hugs her knees, you squeeze your pillow and exhale loudly through your nose.

"Hey, N/n? Do you have a moment?" Zhongli quickly opens his door and peaks his head out. You jump back and sigh.

"No sorry, Aki's not feeling well, we can talk later though?"

"OH GOD-" You cover your mouth and bolt to the door. Aki jumps and looms over at you.

"Woah, is there a fire?" She smirks.

"No, I-I'll bright back!!" You rush out the door and bust into Zhongli's, which was a mistake...he was in the middle of changing and was only in his boxers. He turns around and glares at your frozen figure, which causes you to snap back to reality.

"OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY!" You cover you eyes with your arm and shut the door, gasping and sliding down the door in embarrassment. You hear Zhongli's deep voice chuckle and the door open behind you, causing you to fall in between his feet. You blush and cover your mouth, at least head clothes on.

"Why what a coincidence, I was just about to fetch you. Do you need my assistance?" He helps you up and smiles, you nod and fix your hair.

"Yeah, so you know how yesterday you needed something? I never got back to you on that, what did you need?" He pulls you into his room and goes over to a small drawer, he pulls out a small box and walks back over to you.

"You got me a gift?" You smile and take off the top to reveal a beautiful electro vision carefully placed inside. You look up confused and tilt your head.

"Is this a real vision? Where'd you get it?" You marvel at it and pick it up carefully, not wanted to get your fingerprints on it, Zhongli pushes his lips together and nods.

"That information, I cannot tell~." You gasp and softly hit him in his shoulder, he picks up the gem and grabs out something else, quickly connecting the 2 together he attaches the vision to your belt.

"It's beautiful Zhongli, thank you~!" You wrap your arms around his shoulders and engulf him into a tight hug. He gladly hugs back and exhales loudly, you look at him and pull your head back, placing a soft kiss on his cheek. Zhongli tenses up but softens just as fast that you didn't notice. Another thing you didn't notice was the flash of light coming from your vision. You let go and observe it once again, the shape of the vision was one that didn't fit with any of the regions that you knew of.

"N/n? I'm going out of town for awhile to see some old friends of mine, would you care to accompany me?" You gasp and begin to nod, but then a ping came from your heart and you remembered.

"I wish I could, I guess Kuro didn't tell you, but our father died today and tomorrow we're going to the states for his funeral." Zhongli's expression changes to guilt and solem.

"Oh, my condolences go to your family, I'm sorry for my ignorance." Zhongli looks away from you.

"No, no! It's not your fault, but thank you..." you turn his face to look at you and smile, he nods and places his hand on your head, which brought you a great deal of serotonin.

"OH! I also got you something!" He tilts his head and the corners of his mouth curve up, you reach in your pocket and pull out 2 matching bracelets. Zhongli gasps softly and smiles.

"Do you like them? Since you always wear orangey colors I got both of us Geo vision bracelets from an antique shop! Even though they are fake they're still neat." You reach for his hand and fasten the braclet around his wrist, same with yours on your own.

"It looks, very detailed, I'll take good care of it. Thank you." His cheeks get ever so slightly warmer and puts his hand on your cheek, you both just staring at eachother in silence. It stayed like this for a couple seconds.

"Well, you better get packing, I'll start making dinner." Zhongli whispers in your ear and smirks, your cheeks heat up and you walk out of his room, a goofy grin across your red face.

"Aki, are you ready?" You finish packing all of your bags into the car and close the trunk door. She nods and gets into the car silently, you were about to get into the car but then you hear the door open. You turn around to see Zhongli and Tobioma walk out, barely noticeable since it wasn't even light out yet. You walk towards the 2 of them and smile solemnly.

"What are you 2 doing up this early?" You look up at Zhongli and fiddle with the little purple feather you attached to your vision.

"We wanted to see you off~." Tobioma smile and gives you a quick hug before waving to the others and going back inside, Zhongli holds onto your hand and smiles. You blush and hug his waist, Zhongli squeezing you, and a flash of dim purple light in the middle of you.

"I'll see you soon~!" You inhale deeply and tightly hug him before letting go and staring into his eyes.

His eyes, the eyes that you loved so dearly, the mysterious and intricate eyes that hold so many things to themselves, only God knows how much you want them to spill all of their secrets to you. The sweet eyes that are caring yet so overpowering that when you met him, just looking at his eyes would make you crumble (just imagine when they first cuddled).

"I'll call you, okay?" Zhongli puts his hand on the side of your cheek and bends down so that your noses are almost touching. You say nothing and nod, placing your hand over his and leaning into his touch. He tilts his head and slowly kisses you, to your surprise, you gladly close your eyes and kiss back, not passing up a chance to kiss this man.

Aki pov

"What is taking N/n so long?" Kuroki groans and honks quietly, I turn around to see... N/N KISSING ZHONGLI?! Oh my gosh- I never thought I'd see the day that she got a boyfriend! But wait, what is that-

A flash of light makes me close and cover my eyes, I think it was purple but I couldn't tell since it was fast.

"Hey Kuro-Kun? Did you see that?" I turn back around and poke him in the head.

"Huh? What?"

"Nevermind."

You pull back after a while and sigh, Zhongli gives you one last hug and squeezes your hand before going back inside. You slowly walk to the car and sit beside Aki, who was looking a bit off.

"So, you and Zhongli huh?" Akimura nudges you in the shoulder and smirks, you tense up and go red in the face.

"N-no...I mean, I don't know. Wait, no, we're just friends." Aki holds back her laugh and puts an arm around your shoulder, pulling you in.

"Friends don't kiss goodbye~." You jerk out of her grip and mumble to yourself, looking out of the window and the ironically energetic and beautiful sunrise.
