After a short preparation, Kazuha got ready. However...

"Why don't we split up?"

The following words echoed in Kazuha's head once more. It felt as though several knives peirced his heart at once. Kazuha gritted his teeth and grabbed his shirt, feeling disheartened once more.

Kazuha then lunged out and proceeded to create an 'Autumnal Vortex', pulling all the treasure hoarders in the tornado.
Kazuha then drew his blade and proceeded to dispel the tornado away from him.

He then made the Vortex explode, launching all the treasure hoarders. They were all facing the floor, unable to stand up.

Kazuha then grabbed one of the treasure hoarders by the collar, and yelled;

"Where did you keep the box. Answer now... or perish by my blade"

The treasure hoarder whimpered in fear.

"I-I don't Know!!"

Kazuha grew irritated by his response, knowing the fact he was lying.

"You're lying through your teeth."

Kazuha then proceeded to draw his blade. He held his blade on the hoarder's  neck.

The Treasure hoarder finally broke.

"I-It's in the dirt below the tree!!! Let me go please!!"

Kazuha threw him on the ground and dug out the box, checking the contents of the parcel. After he verified it being the real parcel, he headed back.

Heizou saw his return and asked if Kazuha was okay. Kazuha silently nodded and they walked to the entrance if the Jade Chamber.

They used the code and entered its vicinity. They saw Ningguang by the edge, Gazing at the construction of Liyue City.

"Lady Ningguang..." Both of them approached.

"Hm? Oh it's you my son." Ningguang said.

"S-Son?!?" Heizou jumped, shocked from what he heard.

Kazuha nervously laughed. "Heizou... it's a joke."

Heizou sighed in relief. The three then began exchanging words. Kazuha introduced Heizou as his boyfriend. After a while of chatting they finally gave her the parcel and headed off.

N: "Before you leave..."
N: "I'm proud of you Kazuha."

K: "What for?"

N: "For finding love... just like I found  
      bei-"

*ahem*

Both of them jumped in shock. "WHAT!?!" They yelled.

Ningguang laughed nervously and shoved them in the Plaustrite elevator before they could even think.

...

"You know what? Since we don't agree on this... why don't we Split Up?"

"Why don't we Split Up?"

"Split Up..."

Those words flooded Kazuha's mind. Suddenly, his surroundings turned black, he couldn't see anything.

However, from the distance, he saw a a distorted figure emitting light. He walked closer to it and suddenly...

The floor disappeared. Kazuha yelled as he fell into oblivion.

He then saw Heizou.

"You worthless piece of trash. Just go kill yourself."

"I don't want to be with an arrogant and worthless bastard."

"You're nothing to me. Infact, You're dead to me"

Those words said by Heizou... they hurt Kazuha to an extreme point. Kazuha felt disheartened by those words. He was hurt to the point tears began to flow from his eyes as he felt an arm gripping on his neck, choking him.

Suddenly, Kazuha awoke from his slumber and woke up at the room of his inn. It was a nightmare.

Heizou ran up to him and asked if he was okay frantically.

"Kazuha... you passed out. I was worried."

Kazuha's eyes widened, as he hallucinated the words from his nightmare.

("You're nothing to me. Infact, You're dead to me")

Kazuha looked down and proceeded to walk to the bathroom. "I'm... gonna take a shower...."

Heizou replied, "okay" in a soft tone. Kazuha then entered the bathroom.

Heizou heard the shower pouring down. However, he felt that something was off.
Soon, Heizou noticed some other sounds coming from there. It was the sound of sobbing.

Heizou barged in frantically.

He noticed Kazuha crying in the shower, forgetting to take his clothes off. Heizou ran in the shower, getting himself wet.

H: "Kazuha..."

K: "..."

H: "what's wrong my cutie-pie?" hey... answer me...."

K: "..."

Heizou then turned off the shower and proceeded to remove his own shirt, due to it getting wet. He then grabbed the bottom of Kazuha's shirt and pulled it off.

"Kazuha... it's wet. Let me help you get it off."

Heizou took Kazuha's shirt off.

Both if them saw their abs glistening with water. They both blushed. Heizou held Kazuha's hand and kissed him. Kazuha stood silent.

Suddenly, Heizou slipped and fell on top of Kazuha. They could feel their bare bodies touching eachother. Kazuha finally let it all out and told him about everything he saw.

Heizou hugged him, regretting what he said. They could feel their hard and firm abs touching eachother. They were shirtless, only wearing shorts.

Suddenly, Heizou kissed Kazuha's chest and turned on the shower again. Soon, Heizou began to suck it, creating a hickey that amounted to seven 5 minutes later.

Kazuha groaned as he proceeded to kiss Heizou in the lips.

"I'm sorry..." Heizou said, with puppy dog eyes.

Kazuha forgave him.

Suddenly, Heizou caressed Kazuha's Abs. Kazuha groaned and laughed, as it tickled him. Heizou teased, "Wah... You're such a daddy."

Kazuha was startled and blushed. Heizou then layed on the floor, making Kazuha pin him to the floor. They shared a kiss aswell.

Kazuha then rose up slightly, Witnessing  Heizou's body covered with water droplets. Meanwhile, Heizou witnessed Kazuha's 'hot side', a side that contradicted his 'warm amd gentle side'. He witnessed his abs glistening with sweat and water droplets from the shower, and saw his chest covered with hickeys.

Soon, Kazuha bent down and bit Heizou's neck gently. Heizou moaned, as he felt the ticklish sensation.

They both panted heavily. They could feel eachother's breaths Amidst the water.

"I- *pant* I love you- K-Kazuha"

"I- Love you Too!"

Suddenly, they realized that they forgot to report back to Keqing. However, they wanted to see eachother's bodies more, but they knew they had to stop it eventually.

"Let's take a shower together" Heizou asked. Kazuha agreed.

They then took their shorts off and began to shower with eachother. This was not their first time seeing eachother completely naked after all.

After a long shower, they changed clothes and proceeded to run back to Liyue City.
