[ Of course, Childe loves him. Childe's love for him manifests in him quietly paying for everything while Zhongli doesn't even have to think about finances, it's wrapped up the gifts he gives him and the places he takes him for him to enjoy. The food they share and the affectionate touches and the words both soft and teasing and even exasperated. There is love in everything that Childe does for Zhongli.
And Zhongli loves him so much in return. Enough that he is so full he is almost bursting. With everything he wants to teach Childe, all the stories he wants to share, all the experiences he wants him to have. It's warm and it's comforting and it's irrational and terrifying all at the same time.
So Zhongli clings and clings, shuddering a little as he places a kiss to Childe's throat. ]
