" well hopefully she doesn't drink much-" Childe dodged Zhongli's next hit making Thoma shake his head

Amongst this, they then heard you walk out the bathroom a survivor, your hair, face and whole appearance in general a mess from puking

" let's go" you try to drag Thoma away as he awkwardly smiled again

" excuse us" Thoma waved a hand as you didn't care about their farewells , wanting to sleep on your comfortable bed

" goodbye" Zhongli waved, seeing you and Thoma walk away

" ...well you got your answer" Childe clicked his tongue softly, looking at the stoic Zhongli crossing his arms in disagreement

" now I don't want to drink anymore" Zhongli made a decision, deciding from your state just then, putting on his long coat that laid over his arms

" but- what..?"

You dip yourself in a bucket of ice water while Yae Miko prepared the set outside

" I can't believe you got drunk yesterday" Yelan told you, surprised as you shivered from the cold sensation burning on your skin

" I feel so sick and dizzy" you say, massaging your hopeless head

" well maybe if you didn't drink what Beidou offered you yesterday, you would have been as light as a feather" Yelan told you like it was the most obvious thing, preparing her make up kit

" looks like I have everything " Yelan continued nevertheless, looking at her supplies as you nod, wiping your bare face with a towel before knocking was heard on the door

" shoot is on soon!" The voice echoed through the door as Yelan cursed under her breath

" well I'm going" you stood up instantly, not waiting anymore as you left Yelan to organise her things as you walked to the set, seeing Lumine acting her part

You watch her amazing performance, fascinated at her performance as you felt someone stride up to you, staying beside you

Unbothered to acknowledge the presence they seemed to speak for you

" how was your head" you heard a familiar voice, turning around to see Childe watching the performance as he fake clapped

" ...why do you ask?" You didn't answer Childe's actual question as Childe looked at you with a teasing smirk

" do you not remember yesterday?" Childe reminded as you tried to recollect your thoughts. " woww do you have a short memory?" Childe with one hand in his pocket tried to tap your head

You move back, eyes showing your pissed expression as the man raised his hands like he was surrendering, trying to act innocent

" ...well you were completely drunk"  Childe jogged your memory as you panicked slightly upon hearing those words, your facial expression remaining neutral

" were you there?" You tried to lower your tone but the shock made it rise

" well I was... and you almost puked on me" Childe tried to sound hurt as you sighed in relief

" as long as I didn't say anything embarrassing" you look at the man's expression as he takes a look at you before laughing loudly

" embarrassing!?!" Childe's chest hurt as he hit the table close to him to support his laughter

" what?" You didn't get what the joke was about

" well you were certainly cute I'll give you that..." Childe with no shame, told you as you hit the man instantly on the shoulder

" ow...okay okay!  you certainly did say something" Childe lowered his tone, feeling the burning stare of Yae Miko and you

" what did I say?" You pressure an answer out of him as the man just continues to laugh

" there are some co-stars you are not looking forward to work with" Childe quoted after composing himself, trying to make his voice sound like yours.

Putting aside his mocking, his words made you think for a moment, those words that he quoted sounded familiar but you somehow couldn't put a finger on it

" come on...you said it on your podcast, remember?" Childe leaned more down to see your expression as you backed away slowly

" you watch my podcast?" Was the first thing you responded with as Childe shrugged

" well ...I need to know my co-star no? And now I know you hate me" Childe honestly spoke as you couldn't deny his words

" who said I hate you..." you try to say out loud but it turned out to be very quiet,  Childe, either way hearing it loud and clear

Childe leaned upwards, observing your actions as Yae Miko called you out

" [y/n] dear, you are up" Yae Miko called out as sweetly as she could as you thanked her partially in your mind for avoiding a awkward conversation

" I'm going" you point backwards, backtracking as Childe gave you a simple wave.

" page 45" Yae Miko patted your shoulder as you prepared yourself, revising the page vaguely this morning

N E X T  D A Y 

You crossed your arms desperately as you walk through the snowy like weather, hissing as you tried to cover every inch of your body

Walking to your designated spot, one you wanted to walk too, you quickly greet the people there, lowering your cap on your head so you wouldn't be discovered.

Kneeling down slowly at your exact destination, you place the flowers you had on the pavement, making it presentable as you arranged some flowers

Sighing from all your efforts, you pat the grave in front of you, you couldn't help but stare at it, enchanted by its name, just for a few seconds before deciding to make a conversation

" I hope you like these..." you referred to the bunch of colourful flowers you put on it with a mini paper note stuffed inside it

There was some silence as you enjoyed such silence, adjusting your body so you would be sitting next to the grave, doing this while adjusting your hat  a little upwards

" I promise I will find that person" you played with the sticks you found on the ground, eyes starting to water and overwhelm

" I miss you. You know that? I think about you everyday. That's why I can't visit you. It hurts" you rant to the unknown entity, taking looks at the grave next to you

"...That's why I started the podcast you know" you narrate about your life as there was only the gust of winds that responded

" ....my shoot starts soon...so please take care" after several minutes, you decided to say your goodbyes, cleaning your non existent tears before getting up to stare at the grave one last time

A gust of wind blew at you as you adjusted your coat, hearing the sounds of someone walking up to you as you assumed it was a stranger

" [y/n]...?" You heard an unknown voice, making you jump slightly as you turned around shocked

" Childe...?" You whisper
