Somewhere to Hide || Childe || M!

Is this considered angst to fluff? I don't know :>

It was terrifying. Running away from him. The one you called lover. "Come on now dear Y/N. You got nowhere to hide!" Your boyfriend chuckled, you were now stumbling over your own feet. Frantically turning around to see the sadistic side of him. "Please... Let's talk it out!" You cried out, and his smile turned into a frown. "There is nothing to talk about Y/N. Why were you talking with that male? The Fatui Harbinger of all people?!"

"I was just talking to him! Nothing more, nothing less!" You yelled back, and his face stayed the same. "Come on, we both know that's not true. You like him, don't you? That ginger." Your boyfriend sighed, and put a hand on his chin. "What if I kill you right now? You are just helpless right now... It'd be fun to watch you die." He smiled again, and it wasn't genuine.

He didn't have a vision, you did. You were at an advantage. You knew that. "Stop! Please!" Your weapon appeared in your hand. "You don't have the guts Y/N. I know you don't." He giggled. "That's not true! I... I could kill you right here if I wanted!" You protested. "Nonsense-" In the blink of an eye, there was a blade going through his stomach.

WARNING! MENTIONS OF BLOOD!

Blood dripping down his lips, and his stomach. When your boyfriend fell over, Childe was standing there, a plain look on his face. "Are you okay?" He asked, and you nodded, looking over at the body, that had now created a pool of blood. "Let's get out of here. I'll keep you safe." He held you in his arms, tightly.

A Few Minutes Ago (Childe's POV)
________

He was walking over to your house, only to return the book you left behind at the restaurant you guys were eating at. Knocking once. Twice, three times. No answer. But there was screaming inside the house. "Was that Y/N? It must be him.. Right?" Usually, he wouldn't intrude. But he felt the urge to. So he opened the door carefully (pick locking it), trying not to make any sounds, and then peeked inside every room. "Stop! Please!" A weapon appeared in his hand.

"You don't have the guts Y/N. I know you don't." "So he was abusive? Why didn't Y/N tell me?"

"That's not true! I-I could kill you right here if I wanted!" The boy yelled. Childe couldn't take it anymore. "Nonsense-" Before the abusive boyfriend could finish his sentence, Childe had already dug his blade straight into the stomach. It gave Childe pleasure, seeing the blood drip. All that mattered to him, right now, was Y/N. "Are you okay?" Childe asked. (You know the rest.)

You were now at Wangshu Inn, getting special care from Childe. He was making sure you felt comfortable, after what happened, he didn't want you to feel unsafe. "Thank you for saving me." You whispered. "Hey, you're my friend. Of course I would save you." Childe chuckled, and sat down on the bed, next to you. "But he was right. I don't have the guts to kill anyone for that matter." Your voice quivered, and Childe sighed. "Hey, don't say that. You are just kind. Kind people like you are rare in this kind of world. See, I'm a monster."

"No you aren't. You are just supporting your family, right?" The ginger nodded, and then he gave you a hug. "Hey, you know. I could've given you a place to stay....

Somewhere to hide."

Those words made you shiver. "Now, go to sleep. You had a long day. Tomorrow, we'll go out and shop. Just for you." He winked. "You don't have to!" You shook your head. "I want to. Just... For my... Future Boyfriend." You blushed, and you melted into his arms.
