there is nothing more beautiful than zhongli's usual poised demeanor cracking, his hands glove-less and red with blood, calling childe a fool. an idiot. telling him he's insane as childe laughs off a near-fatal injury saying "you should see the other guy..." all dazed and delirious because he nearly bled out on the way to zhongli's house with no idea where else he could've gone for help. zhongli's the only one he trusts to be that vulnerable around. he looks so dumb with love as he stares at zhongli's furrowed brows and tense expression.... but that could also be the blood loss making him loopy.
