(WELCOME TO THE 3K SPECIAL EVERYONE I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR READING THIS BOOK)

(Ahem, as I mentioned, this will be a Childe special, dk if this should be like, part of the storyline in the book or not, but it's your choice!)

(oh and, spoilers 😩)

You were in the plane listening to your playlist on your phone. Slowly humming the song, Childe was fast asleep next to you. He had asked you to visit Snezhnaya with him again.

You loved Snezhnaya a lot, aside from the cold. The cold was harsh and rough, but thanks to the clothes Childe got you from the first trip, you were protected.

Childe mumbles something inaudible, and opens his blue eyes.

"Mmh.. Are we there yet N/N?~" He groans, stretching lively. You shake your head as he smiles and opens the cover from the window. "The ocean is always so lively." He said, looking at it. "Childe, your eyes are colored like the ocean." You mutter, loud enough for him to hear.

"So you think I'm lively?" He asks, with a sly grin. "Yes. I do." You say, quickly focusing on your playlist. He sighs and closes the cover.

"What's wrong, ocean boy? Got bored of the view?" You smugly ask, watching him cross his arms like a child(e).

"I want to go back to Mondstadt, feels like home.." He mutters, before leaning his head on your shoulder.

You look at him, and smile. "You infant, you're really emotional.." You sigh, closing your eyes. Something tells you that the next day will be exciting.

F for the pretty timeskips im on my phone might edit this later

"Greetings, travellers! We're almost landing in Snezhnaya. Please buckle your belt as we are ready to land." Said the stewardess, smiling.

You slowly open your eyes, and find a fast asleep Childe next to you.

It looked adorable, and you didn't want to wake him up. You managed to push your emotions away, and push him off of your shoulder, followed by shaking his shoulder slightly.

He groans a bit. "Ugh, N/N.. Are we there yet?" He mutters, eyes slowly fluttering open.

"Yes, we are. Now buckle your belt, stupid!"

Childe was nearly falling asleep again, but that's when they hit the land of Snezhnaya. He opens his eyes, wide awake, and energy refilled.

"Chill, you can drop your croissant." You smile, pointing at the fresh croissant on the tray. "Wait- We had breakfast and you didn't tell me?" He said, frowning. "Yes! Eat up now, hurry!" You slightly yelled, ignoring the other passengers.

"Alright, travellers! You can go out now! Thank your for choosing this airline, and have a nice trip!" The stewardess said, wishing goodbyes to the passengers.

Childe was running towards his luggage with a half eaten croissant in his mouth. You were casually watching him cause chaos. Your phone started ringing when you finally caught up with him.

You pick up the phone, and raise it to your ear. "Hello?" You say, waiting for a response. "Hi, Y/N! How's Snezhnaya?" Said Xiangling from the other side. "Well, all I've ever seen now is the airport, and a silly bush of ginger." You groan dramatically, a pouting Childe beside you.

"Y/N.. I'm tired, can we go to my estate already?" He whines, latching onto your arm while you're still calling with Xiangling. "Childe my beloved, stop it- You know I'm calling with Xiangling!" You scold. A now sad Childe forced himself into your embrace, and started to cry fake tears.

"Yikes, Y/N, you're a babysitter?" She jokingly asks. You could even hear her giggle a bit. "No- Just Childe being a child, as usual." I say, not aware of the duration of the call. "Okay! I gotta go know, boss is calling me. See you!" Xiangling quickly says, not even giving you the chance to say goodbye.

"Fine, Childe.. Your turn." You say, pushing him out of your embrace. He smiles at you, and nods.

Shortly after, you guys were in a cab driving towards his house. He mentioned that he had some wealth here and there, but you were focused on getting decent hours of sleep without the ginger bothering you.

"Y/N! We're here!" Childe exclaims, smiling from ear to ear. "Can I sleep once we're there..?" You yawn, earning a nod from him.

You step out of the car, and it was lightly snowing.

(spoilers start here)

"Ajax!" Childe's little brother, Teucer yells. "Hi, gremlin." He said, patting his head. "Ooh! Is this Y/N? Mom said you sent a dozen of emails to her about-" Teucer wanted to say, before getting shut up by Childe's mouth. They whisper some things, and eventually Teucer nods and giggles.

"You never told us that you had a little brother." You mention, standing behind him. "Yeah, forgot. Had other things on my mind." He smiles, getting up. "Big brother! Can I introduce Y/N to Cyclops?" Teucer asks his elder brother, gripping his hand.

"Ah.. N/N needs some sleep, maybe tomorr-" He wanted to start. "No, that's fine. We can play soon." You smile. Childe looks at you, and nods. The three of you walk in his house.

"So.. Ajax, huh?" You start, trying to make some conversation. "Yes, that's my real name. I prefer Childe if we're with the others, though." He said, mumbling the last part. "Wait, you're telling me I can call you Ajax?" You ask, earning a slight nod from him, pink dusted over his cheeks.

"Yes, you can."

"Look, Y/N!" Teucer said, pointing towards a small shed, which had drawings of chalk over it. "Wow, that's a really pretty shed you got there!" You smile. "Big brother and I decorated it together, look! I made this one!" He happily exclaims, pointing towards a drawing of a robot. Underneath it, the words 'Mr Cyclops' were written, messily.

"It's a really nice drawing, Teucer." You said, kneeling to look at it.

"Thank you! Big brother and I had a lot of fun drawing all of this!" He giggles. "And, big brother enjoys spending time with you!" Our familiar big brother said, picking Teucer up. "Hehe~ That tickles!" Teucer laughs, becoming a mess in his hands. "I'm going to wet myself! Stop tickling me, big brother!" Aj-No, Childe puts him back on the ground, before getting tackled by Teucer and getting tickled on the floor.

"H-Hey! That's not fair!" Childe laughs, ruffling his hair.

(y/n standing there like 🧍‍♀️)

You smile to yourself, cherishing this moment. "Oh, Y/N, you too!" Teucer yells, with the help of Childe, tackling you into the snow. You yelp, but accept your fate that the council has given you.

You all laugh, snowflakes falling around the three of you. You sigh, and close your eyes. "Hey, can we do this tomorrow too?" Teucer gets up, staring at you two with puppy eyes.

"Of course!" The two of you exclaim, sitting up and smiling at the gremlin.
