pov tiiiime! because this playlist doesn't have one yet-
"morax?" your voice was soft, quiet, uncertain. morax turned to you from his perch looking over the small settlement he now called liyue harbor, honey eyes softening when he spotted you at the bottom of his temporary seat. you squeaked when you felt the earth beneath you tremble and several fragments of geo lift you up and into his waiting arms. "a warning would have been appreciated." you grumbled, straightening up your stance.
morax's hold on you was strong though and you couldn't fight it, finally relenting to your fate and snuggling closer to him on his lap. "do you want to visit the harbor?" you asked curiously. moments ago upon your arrival, you spotted the wistful look on the god's face as he looked down at the human city he lent his hand in developing. you saw his loneliness and longing for a lost friend. you knew he longed for contact, actual contact.
and you knew you weren't enough, not for a god who's lifespan would span yours tenfold and even more after that. you were a temporary facet in his life. he needed more people to anchor him down lest he lose himself to regret.
he looked at you, his expression unreadable.
"i have no need to do such a thing." he remarked. you laughed at how affronted he sounded.
"you're such a terrible liar." you shook your head. "i know you'd like to see what we're up to there. the curious look on your face when i tell you about that new restaurant is proof enough." you tugged at his wrist cheekily, wiggling your fingers in front of the silhouette of the city, as if stroking it. you saw morax's lips twitch up and you wiggled you eyebrows for added effect.
"i cannot." he repeated. "the arrival of the geo archon will only stir up unnecessary chaos. i do not wish for that." you sigh, quickly covering up the disappointment on your face. "i do not think i am capable of feeling human emotion either so your idea of building new connections would be for naught. what are connections if they lack the necessary emotions, hm?" he looked rueful and his words poetic and you wanted to call bullshit.
so you did, pushing yourself away from him. "really?" you grumble. "you're going on with that again..." you pulled your face together into an exaggeratedly stern expression. "i am an archon and because of that i am unable to feel anything whatsoever because i'm a fucking rock. woe is me." you waved you hands as well and huffed with exasperation. morax looked a little offended.
"i do not sound like that."
"yes you do." you bully back. "and anyway, we both know it's not true."
morax looked like he was about to protest but you held up a hand. "you are capable of feeling emotions morax. what do you think we have? do you really kiss someone you hold nothing for?" you question. he fell silent. "maybe once upon a time, you were incredibly disconnected with your empathy. but guizhong brought out kindness in you, yes? and that kindness still grows after her death. you can feel, morax, more than anyone else here...you're just..."
your face. "..you just suck at it...? is that the word?"
the deadpan look he shot at you made you let out a sheepish laugh. "okay, okay i'm sorry." you grin. "but what i'm trying to say is that you're still learning and you have a long way to go but that spark is there. you just have to feed it, that's all." you point to his chest.
morax's hands pulled you closer. "let's say..." he begins slowly. "i do make myself a few friends, yes? i do establish intimate bonds with some of the people here. but what of their short life? what am i to do when they died?" you heard it, the pain he felt from guizhong and the raw sadness from a wound that was still healing.
"i don't know. grief...doesn't go away. but the only thing you can do is make sure you don't regret the time you spend with them, i guess..." you fall silent. "when i lost my mother i learnt two things. one, it hurt because my pain was a testament to the fact that i cared for her and two, it hurt more because i rgeret some of my actions towards her...harsh words, anything that could have made her life harder than it already was."
"you were young." morax states, his hold around you tightening slightly. "you could not have foreseen such a change."
"neither could have you." you point out. "grief...is a good thing i guess. just as long as you learn to move on from it and live with it. you miss guizhong because you loved her and that proves that you aren't as callous as you make yourself out to be."
you looked triumphant. morax bit back a luagh.
"alright. i could make some arrangements for a human form, yes? and you can show me those places you are so fond of. i'll still keep some of my features for some familiarity...now all i need is a name." his eyes were twinkling when he met yours. you brightened up immediately.
tapping your chin, you stared at the harbor again/ "how about...zhongli?" you suggest. morax tilted his head.
"'the time of departure'...you always had a strange sense of humor, love." you looked flustered when the pet name rolled off his tongue. "zhongli." he repeated, his nose brushing against yoyr neck. he nuzzled into you, pressing a gentle kiss there. "i will cherish that name."
"you better, mr. zhongli." you laugh before it was drowned out by a shocked screech. "now??? we're in public, you heathen! i wasn't even TRYING to be seductive!"
zhongli woke to the sun in his eyes and the bustle of liyue harbor below. his hand brushed against his hair, eyes focusing on the ceiling. he exhaled.
that dream again.
his memories of you still shone strong, that laughing, mirthful face hiding your typical goofiness. he let out a short chuckle before he rose, tugging at his hair with a slight frown. how long has it been since your passing? a millennia and a half? a little more than that?
he wondered what you would say to him now. 'oh yes, you've finally figured it now if only you weren't so terrible at money management. ' or 'i'm proud of you, now give me a hug; i want to show you how proud i am...". he knew your fragile mortal life was short and you departed a mere few decades after that talk atop mt. tianheng, your old and frail face smileing as he held your hand in his.
he was glad you managed to live a fulfilling life.
...but sometimes he wished, in the deepest recesses of his heart, that he could live with you again in another life, not as morax the lord of geo but as zhongli, the human.
fin.

"Hello there traveller," spoke a familiar voice. Looking up from where you sat, you saw someone holding their hand out. You knew exactly who it was... that smooth voice, and the warm, firm grip on your hand could not have been anyone else but of Zhongli. Standing yourself and brushing off the dirt off your clothes, you followed the former Archon as he strolled through the field of silk flowers.
It was sucha beautiful night. The full moon piercing through the mist, making your eyes glow and your geo resonated form glow brightly in the eyes of Zhongli. He could not help but silently admire how beautiful you looked among those red flowers. Almost like they were blooming under your presence. A blush would understate how red his face would become when he saw you like this. Approaching you, he grabbed your waist and started to dance around in the field.
You tried your best to follow him, stepping on his toes many a times. The sounds of apologies and laughter filling the air as the pair danced through the moonlight. A few more steps and you tripped on your own feet on fell down,, pulling him down as well. a loud thud later, laughter continued with zhongli underneath you, watching your flustered, red face. he placed a silk flower behind your ear and kissed you gently. So warm it felt like you were melting your worries away. Pulling away, you stared into his amber, glowing eyes only to feel sleepy. Zhongli could see sleep calling you and rubbed your back, making you fall asleep as he stared up at the stars.
You woke up to a few birds around you and found yourself in your camp site with Piamon nearby. Covering your eyes from the sun, you focused on the large tree under which you took shelter from the rain. "It was a dream" you sighed as you got up to cook food. Yet, you blushed remembering the feelings you felt during the dream, waiting for the time you would be reunited with your lover.
Somewhere in Liyue Harbour, Zhongli woke up to the sounds of the city. Tossing and turning in his bed, he reached out to find the necklace you made for him before you left on your journey. Brushing his hair from his face, he cherished the dream in which he spent time with you. While he had the ability to appear in any one of your dreams if he wished, he only dis so when it felt it was necessary. Smiling, he knew the day ahead would be more enjoyable with this new memory you both shared.
For even though you both longed for each other in eery step of your journeys, you carried each other in your hearts and walk in each's dreams forevermore.
finnnnn
The second song started playing and all I could say was "you're done. You're done"
Hi hello I love you~ I really need more added to the playlist😌. As someone who’s listen to 100s of Zhongli playlists, I would have to say this ones my favorite. Most of the playlists there’s a song I don’t like and it just ruins the mood, cause I have to skip it. While in this playlist I don’t have that.
Thank you so much~
It’s the Zhongli I see the gentleman who just wants peace, and to take a stroll.
this started off so good it made me scream, having a stroke brb..
I still come back to this playlist...it's so underrated 😔
You actually added the song! (Once upon a dream) :D
