Genshin Impact + Honkai: Star Rail: Can a Crybaby of Elation Dream of Rex Lapis?

The first time they met, Morax had just finished dealing with a demon god when he spotted him in its prison. A beautiful man was bound in shackles, tears streaming down his face.

Morax rescued him and set him free.

The second time Morax encountered Yu Qinglan, he was surrounded by a group of people, in a miserable state, still looking as fragile and pitiful as ever.

Morax rescued him again and warned him to be careful.

The third time...

After pulling him out of trouble for who knew how many times, Morax finally decided to keep him by his side. It wouldn't make much difference, anyway.

Tearstains were clear on his pale cheeks. He bit his lower lip and asked timidly,

"Are you sure that's all right?"

"Of course."

After all, the God of Contracts always kept his word.

Unexpectedly, the man who was always timid around him got along remarkably well with his colleagues.

As they spent more time together, Morax, as unyielding as a boulder, began to feel something for Yu Qinglan.

The feelings that slipped out unconsciously, the looks that were anything but innocent, revealed the change in his heart.

He had thought about the lifespan that stood between him and Yu Qinglan, and wondered whether his love might become a burden to the other man.

It was the first time Morax had ever agonized over something like this.

Then, one day, clouds veiled the moonlight. In the gloom, Morax heard a sound.

He saw Yu Qinglan standing by the bed, gazing at him with adoration in his eyes. Gone was his usual timid demeanor. For a moment, he seemed like a stranger.

"I love you so much, Morax."

He whispered Morax's name. The pungent fragrance muddled Morax's senses. In those final moments, he felt the rustle of fabric and the scorching warmth of skin against skin.

The next day, Morax woke later than usual. He saw the person responsible, still with tears in his eyes, watching him cautiously.

As if everything from the previous night had been a dream.

But when the night's uproar broke the silence again, Morax pretended not to know and silently allowed it.

After all, he was free to indulge the one he favored.

.

Yu Qinglan was a consummate actor, the most devoted follower of Aha, Aeon of Elation, and his most beloved Emanator.

He relied on his acting and looks to fool countless people. No one could ever enter the heart of this fool.

When he set out once again to spread the word of Elation, he arrived in an unfamiliar place:

Teyvat.

At a glance, he fixed his eyes on the Geo Archon standing high above. He licked his lips and made him his next prey.

But this time, he got caught in the web he had woven himself. So what? He didn't mind becoming a source of amusement for Elation.

"I love you so much. So, so much."

He shed his fragile facade, his cheeks flushed an unnatural red.

"Now, nothing can separate us."

"Darling, I'll stay by your side forever."

Perhaps fate had bound them together from the moment they first met.
