Childe gently placed your hand off
" no, I would like to know what he said" Childe walked up to the man, in utter disbelief that some man would say that to a stranger
" I...said she likes me instead- it's obvious-"
Childe chuckled, it didn't take long before he was knocked to the ground from Childe's fist. It made a harsh thud and you panic
" Childe!" You look around to see if there was anyone, seeing Childe repeatedly hit the man with his fist after he got down
" Childe! let's go! Please..!" you pleaded, trying not to start a bad reputation.
Your attempts start when you place your hands on Childe's shoulder
Childe breathed in and out, his knuckles bleeding. Your touch soothed his mind and after realising the situation, Childe collected himself before he stood up again
" drunk bastard"
L A T E R
" he deserved every bit of it" Childe couldn't help but curse, seeing you tending to his knuckles
" he was drunk" you murmur, having no emotion
" drunk? That doesn't excuse his actions. Hey! aren't you mad?" Childe observed your neutral face
" of course I am" you curse back, focusing on opening the medicines and applying it to the wounds immediately
" ahh fuck, why does it sound like you are defending him.." Childe hissed at the medicine you put on his knuckles
" anyone could of seen us, you are famous you know and you almost beat a guy to death. Luckily no one was there at the time" you lecture back, grabbing the bandages
" still." Childe stood his guard, feeling pissed
" although he was a bit delusional" you comment, tightly securing the white bandages
Childe shook his hand to make sure the bandages was adjusted properly, " sorry for making you go to the stores to get me these" Childe apologised, feeling guilty
You lightly smile, looking back up at the man
" are you going to stay here" you look around your hotel bathroom
" do you want me to" Childe smirked, having ideas in mind
" not really" you were oblivious, sighing heavily
Childe frowned at your response, " that's not what I wanted to hear" Childe honestly spoke
" well what did you want me to say?" You stare back, curiosity hitting you
The air was tense as Childe observed your expression. " stay." Childe said one word, pulling you closely to him
" I want to spend the night with you" Childe softly spoke. You couldn't tell if he was joking because now, something in his eyes changed
Childe took your shocked expression and leaned in to kiss you, one hand cupping your jaw and the other holding your waist
You were a bit stunned but it didn't stop you from kissing back, hands wrapping around Childe's neck
You parted for mere seconds but when you two were back on your feet, Childe wasn't done, he kissed you again, using his tongue to play in your mouth
You kissed back, your hands struggling to open your bathroom door as Childe somehow dragged you to the bedroom wall, maintaining contact with you
Childe pressed his skin against yours, rubbing your waist
" [y/n]...jump" Childe parted into between heated kisses
" are you sure? Your hands" you murmur, Childe not giving a care in the world
" don't worry, you can never hurt me" Childe smiled in between long kisses,
in response, you nod, jumping upwards with Childe carrying your legs in an instance with your back against the wall
At this point, you guys were making out and things slowly turned into another as Childe made you collide on the bed
Your lips part, breath heavy as Childe adjusted his grip on your legs.
You stare into each-others eyes, leaning in for another kiss but an alarm from your pocket started to ring furiously. The sound was very hard to ignore
You gulp, seeing Childe's sad expression as you awkwardly smile
" sorry" you murmur, struggling to get ahold of your phone
You look at the caller and see the name being Yae, you had to sigh, " sorry, I don't know why Yae would call at this hour" you frown, knowing you were in no position to deny the call
Childe breathed in and out, " it's fine, you can take the call" Childe nodded
You smile, and take the call, Childe showing a clearly frustrated face
T H E N E X T D A Y
" are you listening to me?"
Yae Miko snapped her fingers in front of your face. You whip your eyes to Yae.
" yes?" You straighten up
" it's time to get on the plane?" Yae Miko pointed.
" oh really? Sorry I was waiting for Yelan. She said she was going to be discharged soon" you try to look for your friend in the distance
" didn't you hear?" Yae had a frown on her face
" yes?" You felt worry consume you upon hearing Yae's disappointing words
" Yelan is staying here for one more day, she won't be returning back until tomorrow" Yae vaguely explained
" oh" you manage to muster
" I'll get going then, thank you for letting me know" you smile, gathering your bags and passing the gate to the airplane
Yae looked back and did the same, gathering her own things

You look for an open seat, walking around the plane. Your eyes drifted to a certain someone
You saw Lumine who seemed occupied by watching the window
You frown, thinking of her words. Your feet moved towards her but you saw another person next to her. It was Mona, and you couldn't sit next to her at all
" psst" you heard a low whisper
You look to your side and see Childe saving you a spot
" okay" you look at Lumine then give a smile to Childe, sitting next to him
" here let me do it for you" Childe springs into action, doing your seatbelt
You sit there speechless, " thank you" you mumble, looking at Childe's hands
" hows your hand" You mention, Childe chuckling, " it's fine, I can still lift weights" Childe flexed
" you better not, you need rest" you roll your eyes, Childe giving a gleam, " are you worried for me?" Childe smirked
" ...did you wear the matching bracelet?" You notice almost immediately, changing the topic
" yes I did! To match with you" Childe notices your shift in conversation, nevertheless, showing you the matching bracelet
" people might...get the wrong idea" you smile at the thought, looking at your own bracelet
" so what? What if they do? I don't really care...unless you still want to keep our relationship a secret" Childe whispered the last part
You frown and stare back at Childe, " it's not that I want to keep it a secret forever...I'm just...not ready" you truthfully spoke
Childe frowns, placing his hand on yours, " whatever the outcome, I will always be there for you" Childe reassured
" thank you" you reply back, still having a frown
" is something wrong?" Childe tilted his head to see your expression, using his hands to guide your face to his
" no" you try to fake
" I know you...what's wrong" Childe frowned just like you
" I...well...it's Lumine I saw her but I couldn't tell her I wanted to be friends" you chuckle, rubbing your neck
" well sooner or later you have to tell her, just try not to make it sound like 'bad rejection'" Childe emphasises to you
You laugh in turn, " I'll try" you frown, fiddling with your own fingers
" is that the only thing...or is there something more" Childe noticed your still reaction
" you know me too well" you chuckle, Childe giving a light smile
" well...I'm scared my mother will follow me" you express your concerns
" oh. Her." Childe had a change in tone, " have you ever thought about a restraining order?" Childe proposed
Your eyes widen in return, staring at the man dumbfounded, " that's a bit too far" you admit
" no it isn't, she's been tormenting and harming you, you have the right you know." Childe placed a hand on yours
You think about it, his allegations true
" think about it okay? if you ever see her again, call me. Please." Childe tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear
" okay...you really do like me huh" you tease, Childe tensing up immediately
" I don't like you...I love you" Childe covered his face, flustered after admitting it
" oh my god! Are you okay?" You were surprised to see a flustered Childe for the first time,
" are you getting flustered?" You tried to desperately get a view of the man but to no avail
" no" Childe hid, you tapped him, trying to get a view of his face,
" come on!"

" You have a meet and greet tomorrow" Thoma arrived by your side
" anything else?" You sigh
" and a interview, that's all, we have a lot to do" Thoma smiled, holding his tablet close
" great" you try to say enthusiastically. Of course those words turning out emotionless
You stop when you realise Thoma wasn't budging. It made you curious and you turned back to an anxious Thoma
" I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now.." Thoma coughed, trying to find the words to say it
" what is it? You can tell me anything" you used a soft tone, walking back to Thoma
Thoma awkwardly adjusts his collar, trying to predict your response, gulping nervously
" well when I was there in the hospital before...Ayato had a message for you" Thoma rubbed his neck
You freeze, " what?"
