------------------
"Teucer?"
There he sat, bright eyes looking up at you, and a big smile. He giggled when he saw your confused expression, it had been some time since you had gotten to see him after all.
You kneel down to give him a big hug, he immedoatly grabbed onto your clothes, now you had to hold onto him or he'd fall.
As he looks up at you again you quirk your head to the side.
"Bubba, what are you doing here?"
"I came back to see you and my brother!"
"Didnt Childe tell you to not go alone next time?"
"Well...yeah, but im all grown up now so I decided to do it again"
His smile was so big it hurt to reject him in any way, especially if you had to tell him to go back.
"Teucer its only been a year" You say with a small laugh.
He gives you a small hop and crosses his arms, giving you a small frown but it quickly vanished when he noticed the smell coming from the kitchen.
You both still stood at the front of the door but Teucer immediatly ran out of your arms when he smelled the delicious scent that is brownies.
You close the door behind you before going back to the kitchen, Teucer now trying to jump to see what you were trying to bake.
"What is this?" He says while landing a finger in the brownie mixture.
You quickly wipe the excess mixture off his finger before he could lick it, trying to make sure he didnt get sick because of the raw materials in the mixture.
"I was uhm...trying to make brownies for your brother"
As soon as Teucer heard the words brownie and brother together his eyes sparkled. He immediatly jumped up and down, almost making a few ingredients fall off the counter.
He kept repeating 'can I help?' Until you gave him an answer and he immediatly tried to climb the counter.
You grabbed him and decided that it was best he just sat on the counter and helped you that way.
Now Teucer sat in front of you, bowl in lap.
"Okay Teucer well next we have to add a bit more of milk, do you want to add it?"
He vigorously moved his head up and down in a 'yes' motion and excitedly giggled when you gave him half a cup of milk.
Not so gently did he throw the milk into the brownie mixture but it was completely fine.
As you looked around for a tray Teucer looked around as well, when he spotted the vegetable oil that wasn't so far from him he left his place and picked up the oil.
When you look back at Teucer hes throwing vegetable oil into the mixture that already had oil to begin with.
You let out a yelp and he jumped, thankfully letting the oil go without not dropping it.
"Teucer....I dont think we needed that much vegetable oil"
It was only a little bit but the mixture already had some so you just hoped and prayed that the brownies would still taste good and the batter wasn't completely fucked up.
"Ah...im sorry" Small tears started pooling in his eyes and it made your heart ache.
"No no no Teucer its okay, im sure the brownies will be okay"
And with that his demeanor perked up and he seemed completely fine once you reassured him.
Now you had only needed put the batter in the tray and baked it. So thats exactly what you did.
Thankfully Teucer didn't intrude much while you did this since you didn't want him to get burnt. He just looked at you do it from a safe distance while moving jumping in his seat.
He certainly was very excited.
"Okay, we just have to wait a bit now Bubba" you say with a smile as you take off your baking glove.
As you walk over to Teucer to pick him up he suddenly looks up at you and asked you something you defenetly werent expecting, "are you my brothers boyfriend?"
You didn't know how to react and you defenetly didn't know how to respond-
I mean, you certainly liked Childe, but you never knew it he liked you back.
You were hoping that with the brownies you were going to make him today you could know, it was Valentines Day after all.
"I...well uhm-"
"Its just, my brother talks about you all the time. You both look at each other exactly like how my parents look at each other"
At this point your face was hot and beet red, you didnt know how to react.
He talks to them about you?
"You made him brownies so...I thought-" at this point he voice got lower and lower, it didn't seem that he liked how quiet you were being.
"Uhm well, not yet Teucer" you say quietly, hoping that 'not yet would mean you and Childe could be more then friends sooner or later.
With that, Teucer seemed like he had stars in his eyes.
"Yay!! You'll be my big brother soon then!"
That made you blush even more, marriage to Childe didnt seem like a bad thing at all to you. Of course, not now, but in the future.
And Teucer seeing you as a big brother and being his brother in law made you so, so happy.
This conversation made you so happy you hadnt even noticed when Childe knocked on your door and walked in, Teucer didn't notice either.
As you look back you get to see Childe and he smiles at you, when he's about to start talking to you Teucer jumps up from behind you.
Childe's smile grows even bigger then before and he looks like he might cry a small bit. Teucer runs up to him and hugs him tight, they must have missed eachother a lot.
Quickly he walks up to you and hugs you as well, Teucer now being sandwiched between the two of you but content as can be.
Childe lets out a small sniffle before letting out a small laugh and giving a kiss on Teucers forehead.
"I missed you Teucer"
"I missed you too big bro!"
And right as Teucer says that, the oven dings, signifying that the brownies were done.
"I uhm...I made you some brownies" you say with a small blush, now nervous that he might reject you right in front of Teucer.
Childe's eyes sparkle just as bright as Teucers does and when they both see how good the brownies look they gasp.
You let out a small laugh at their mannerisms before giving a small card to Childe.
Teucer stands on his tip toes as he tries to read what's on the card but Childe holds it close. Once he finishes reading it he looks at you with the biggest smile you've ever seen.
The card said many thoughtful things but there was one very important question at the bottom, "will you be my boyfriend?"
He gives you a quick yes before diving in to give you a kiss, small once since Teucer was there but Teucer immediatly gasped and jumped up and down making the both of you laugh.
