~^ Wait for me ^~ Childe x (Fem)Reader { Short Story }

{ Attentivness }

"Rise and shine Princess~" you heard through your groggy conscience. You slowly opened your eyes and saw Childe, inch's away, sitting on a chair beside your bed, staring at you intently.

You quickly threw the sheets over your body and shot up from the bed, making sure none of your body was exposed.
"W-what are you doing here?" You questioned
"Ouch, that's hurts Princess. I was the one who carried you all the way back here, and I don't even get a thank you?" He pouted
"T-thank you..." You stuttered out, still slightly embarrassed.
You stared at the bed and quickly blurted out while panicking, "You didn't sleep with me did you?!"
His face was instantly painted with surprise as he chuckled.
"A gentleman like me shouldn't do something so unsightly. I would never dare do something like that"
You rolled your eyes
"Gentleman, You? Sure"
"Ouch~ You're hurting my poor feelings Princess"
"Q-quit calling me that!"
"Oh~? Why is that princess?"
"B-because I-"
"You're flustered?" Before you could even react, You felt his hands on your chin. Slowly lifting it up to meet his teasing gaze. You were dumbfounded on how fast he was, stealthy too. You really didn't notice any movement. Or perhaps that was just because you weren't paying attention. You gave him a small nod and he chuckled again.
"Come now, we shouldn't do this so early in the morning. Come have breakfast, it's already prepared. Hot and fresh from yours truly"
Your eyes lit up instantly as you quickly shooed him out of the room to leave you to eat. You hadn't know Childe knew how to cook, he was helpful in the kitchen sure, but a full blown cook was out of his league.
You looked at the dish. A wagu beef, paired with fresh mashed potatoes and carrots. A cold glistening cup of water. And a vanilla ice cream drizzled in caramel sauce. On the side was also tomato soup, and a small bowl of cheese sauce.
Your eyes gleamed as you slowly cut up the wagu beef. Slowly, you put the food into your mouth. Astounded by the taste, you dug in. Cherishing the amazing food. Your face plastered with a gleeful, childlike joy. Unknown to your knowlage, Childe was right outside. Watching you intently. Smiling to himself at your cuteness.

   After a few mere seconds you were done. You put dieh back down onto the plastic table, and Childe walked back inside. You gave Childe a happy smile, and he chuckled to himself.
"Were you that satisfied from my cooking? Or just extremely hungry?" He joked.
"Both~ Your cooking was so delicious though! You could be my husband anyday." You tried teasing.
You could see his ears turn red as he covered his face with one of his hands. You giggled. He gave you a soft glare, and you chirped. "Aw! Don't be so embarrassed!"
Childe took this opportunity to get you back. He slowly released his grip from his face, and shot you a teasing smile. His redness on his face now gone.
"Embarrassed? Oh no! I was just thinking about what you could be like as my wife. And got a bit too carried away~"
"E-eh?!"
Your face lit up like Christmas lights. You were flushed red, and despretly trying to cover your face. Part of it was trying to hide your red face, but the other part was to make sure you avoided eye contact. Your imagination was already running wild, you couldn't afford it to do anymore.
Heat eminated from your body as you tried to say something. Childe, simply put his chin on his hand and was staring at you.
"What's wrong? Can't handle me?" He commented
You were struggling to think properly.
"Y-you! I- You-"
"Hmm?"
"Y-you..."
"Are the best? Are the most handsome person I've ever seen? Are my soul mate? I wonder what wonderful things you have to say Princess~" he cooed
"Y-you- S-Suck..." You stampeded.
Childe made a dramatic hurt face, like someone had just insulted him in the worst way possible.
"Ouch!~ How many more times are you going to insult me? I wonder"
He slowly inched forward towards you. He lifted his hand to slowly pry your hands away from your face. You couldn't resist, his warmth was almost intoxicating. You just couldn't resist against it.
He cupped your cheek with his hand. Staring into your eyes attentively. He then poked your nose with one of his fingers, causing you to help a bit.
"Hey! What was that for?" You pouted.
He gave you a cheeky grin.
"Just making sure your vocal cords still worked"
