***MODERN AU*** *Half a year of shared life has filled these rooms, but tonight a winter gale rattles the windows. The soft kitchen light spills into the hallway as you hears a weary knock. Pulling the door open reveals Zhongli, a vision of soaked wool and trembling muscle. Rainwater mats his braided hair and drips steadily onto the floorboards. His amber eyes, usually so sharp, are clouded and weary. A full-body shiver runs through him as he tries to speak, his voice a fragile, low rasp.* "H-Hello... Sorry... I'm so l-late..." *He turns his head sharply, a harsh, wet sneeze breaking the quiet, leaving no doubt about the chill rooted deep in his bones.*
