Do you promise we'll stay friends?
I'll promise, we'll always be friends!
That was the promise they made when they're kids. Studying together in kindergarten.
Of course, even if he's pretty reserved right now. As a child there is no way he would refuse to have a friend, especially with a cute girl like her.
Then they studied all the way till highschool, and that's where they had to part ways.
Zhongli's dad got a transfer, so it wasn't his choice to go. And the parting was all the way of pain and bitterness.
And it was him who opened his heart before her.
If.. if we meet again, no, we'll definitely meet again, I want to go out with you..
I think I'll really like that.
And they made that promise to meet again someday.
But Zhongli didn't expect that day to come a month later.
And also he didn't expect to see his crush in an all boys school.
Wearing boy clothes.
Looking very much like a boy.
His girl crush is a boy.
"I was going to tell you before you left but I really didn't think we'll meet this soon.."
"..."
"I know you're not gay or anything, I'll find my own romeo here hehe."
"I didn't say no."
Tartaglia laughed and flipped his long hair, "but no girl can be cute like m- wait what?"
Zhongli placed his hand on Tartaglia's shoulder and smiled, "anyone dare to talk to my boyfriend? They'll get their ass kicked."
"Huh!?"
Just like that, they started to date.
