I think hoyoverse should release an Itto hangout but instead of the traveler hanging out with him it would be like a dating sim and all the men (and sara) who have chemistry with him would take him on romantic dates and spoil him rotten.

ZhongittoZhong Week | Day 3 | Horn & Competition

Genshin Impact

Day 1: Visions | Day 2: Confession | x

Once again I'm writing about two rocks in love.

Zhongli paced impatiently. 

It was late. Itto was late.

In fact, Itto was about three days late. The oni had left earlier in the week on a mining expedition, saying if anything it would be an overnight stay. The headman had needed someone with brute force and preferably a resonance with geo in order to find weak walls of an ore deposit. 

Before leaving, Itto had declared he fit the bill to a T. And at the time, Zhongli couldn’t help but agree. Afterall, Arataki Itto had managed to stay in Liyue for over a month now, taking on odd jobs every day. But a rare opportunity with something the young man specialized had yet to pop up.

There’s no point in worrying, he’s a free spirit… The former archon reassured himself over and over. 

But after the second night of a missing oni, he began his way to Wangshu Inn.

If there was anyone who could find a rampant oni in the wilderness, it was a yaksha. Xiao had not been overly pleased with such a menial task, but as Zhongli pressed the importance of finding his companion, the adeptus eventually acquiesced.

“Why is a demon from Inazuma so important?” Xiao had asked. “You try to remain uninvolved most times.”

It dawned upon Zhongli then, that he didn’t know why. The two of them, over the past several weeks, had built a life around one another. 

Greeting each other in the mornings before work. Whoever arrived at the domicile first during the end of day would cook dinner. The downtimes often resulted in Itto “training” or searching for insects outdoors while Zhongli would join outside and read or write. Nighttime was a quiet affair. 

Both of them set their clothes out meticulously for the morrow to come. And every now and then, Zhongli would stay up later than usual, regaling tales of Rex Lapis to a wide-eyed Itto all too willing to listen. Itto too would sometimes tell stories, of the onis long past or life beneath the shogun’s heel. They’d find comfort in one another within the darkness of night. 

“Because I need him,” Zhongli had finally decided, “And I believe he needs me too.”

The anemo yaksha had not anticipated such an earnest answer—he left with a thoughtful nod and wave goodbye. 

Which is how Zhongli now found himself storming west through the countryside. Xiao had reported multiple farmers had seen a group of miners accompanied by a strange person with horns.The unexpected party had traveled south of Lisha more than a few days ago. 

A bad feeling had weighed heavily in Zhongli’s stomach. Lisha was open and empty land—and a cesspool for Treasure Hoarders. While he trusted Itto could take care of his own, he did not trust the integrity of the local bandits to adhere to the oni’s moral code of battle.

The mines in Lisha were dangerous, few mining teams ever came this far south due to the fragility of the rock. With every footstep, the adeptus could feel the earth crying gently beneath the soles of his heels. Here the earth felt hollow and torn asunder. Guilt tugged at his gut like a hook in a fish. This was how Azhdaha had been rendered mindless and fading. Humans digging and digging and digging at the leylines until there was hardly anything left. 

He swallowed back the ill remembrance, telling himself it was all in the past. 

Sweeping his hands outwards with a wave of geo energy in its wake, Zhongli searched for any sort of resonance. If Itto was nearby, then he’d find him. 

A remote voice, unlike any other, came from a crack in the earth…

His heart clenched and his body followed—the old archon chased after the feeling of geo, knowing the strong and confident flow of Itto’s Vision anywhere. It was loud and boisterous, almost larger than life, just like the young oni. 

The lord of Geo searched here and there…

The maw of a mining tunnel stretched like a starved animal. Zhongli did not hesitate to enter, drawing his spear forth. Down the corridor that eventually began to open up into a cave, he could see the flickers of a fire and hear the noisy din of talking. What infuriated him the most, was that of all the voices, he did not recognize Itto’s. 

Before finally…

A mob of treasure hoarders all sat around a fire, laughing and drinking merrily. Their spoils littered the floor, as did food debris and spilled liquor. And there at the front of the cave…

He unearthed a strange stone from the bedrock.

Itto was slumped back against the supporting wall of the cave, a horn broken and his face battered. Other miners had been tied up beside him, most if not all of them also unconscious. 

Zhongli’s sight narrowed and he felt his blood boil. His vision went red. 

The world blinked out of existence, and when he suddenly returned to, Itto was standing before him, ruby eyes open and wide—well, only one, the other was swollen shut with a bruise. The oni’s large hand restrained Zhongli’s arm with a surprising amount of tenderness, and the other arm wrapped firmly around Zhongli’s waist. 

“Hey, you got them, it’s okay.” Itto said as if he’d been repeating the same phrase over and over again. 

Zhongli stared at his spear and then the petrified bodies that littered the floor of the cave.

His gaze softened and flickered to anywhere except at Itto’s all-too earnest glance. The embarrassment at losing control welled up in him. It was another block of shame that stacked onto the already tall order of guilt. Zhongli’s jaw clenched. Afterall, he wasn’t some young god that waltzed idly into any fight—he could’ve done things far more tactfully…and with a far greater punishment than just meager death. 

“Not that it was a competition, or anything,” Itto said, releasing Zhongli’s spear-arm but still keeping a firm hold on his waist. “But I trashed at least fifty of those dudes before you showed up.” 

Only then did he snap his attention back to the oni. Their gazes met and he found that he couldn’t look away this time. 

“Hey there.” Itto smiled in the most roguish of fashions. Or well he would have, had his face not been so swollen. 

Zhongli huffed with pained amusement. Before he couldn’t make any more mistakes, he leaned forward and offered just the quickest of embraces. Or at least that was the plan. However Itto quickly returned it, and the warmth of the oni sent Zhongli reeling at the staggering amount of sincerity. 

 “Next time you don’t return home, I'll find you immediately.” Zhongli vowed somberly, hands gripping Itto’s outer layer. “No waiting like this time.”

Itto’s nose buried itself in the crown of Zhongli’s hair. “Look…Zhongli…”

The adeptus waited.

“Thank you,” the oni finally whispered. “I don’t think anyone would have cared to—”

“That’s enough.” Zhongli interrupted. “I care. I’ve probably cared since the moment I found you flouncing around in the lotus ponds at Yujing Terrace.” 

Itto said nothing and instead held Zhongli tighter.

Emperor Zhongli and the delinquent oni from Inazuma are about as different as it's possible for two people to get. But when Itto saves Zhongli from an assassin, the two find themselves spending time together regardless of their differences.

Itto brings a breath of fresh air to Zhongli's stale life after centuries of ruling, and Zhongli quickly finds himself taken with the oni's bluntness and comedic charm. Itto, meanwhile, is just happy that someone is finally taking him seriously.

They fall in love about it.

zhongittozhong week 2022 throwback

All his life, Itto had always possessed the dream of meeting his patron god. However, that dream is crushed when he hears of Rex Lapis' murder and the futility of knowing he'll never meet Morax in person. Yet, when he sojourns to Líyuè to bid his god farewell, an unexpected appearance changes the trajectory of the night for him.

Following the emotional good-bye during his own, private Rite of Departure for the Warrior God, Itto resolves to come to terms with the god's death. Yet, when Zhōnglí invites him for a midnight repast, Itto becomes drawn into the utter mystery the man exudes... and learns a jarring, shocking truth.

After a whirlwind night of connections and mourning the newly divorced past, when the bridge between the past and future is made and ready to be crossed, a former god comes to a decision: that maybe, just maybe, trekking across that bridge with someone new might not be so bad. And, more than that, living in the present is something he might even look forward to.
