Home (Diluc Ragnvindr)

Eight

For a moment, you couldn't believe it was you who was currently looking at the mirror. Looking back at Adeline with eyes widening, you ask.

"Are you guys sure this is not our wedding but just our engagement party?"

You gasp

Looking at yourself in the mirror, you couldn't help but admire your look, you have light makeup, wearing a simple dress  having its design as flowers, paired with red heels , and red accessories, usually let loose (hair color) hair now in a simple braided tied by a black ribbon.

Just looking at your outfit, you couldn't help but think just how much Dliuc has to pay for this. After all, you're not the type of person to wear such things for you prefer being comfortable when it comes to wearing outfits, but since today was a special day, just this once you're going to go with the flow. Thinking about it, your lover was the wealthiest man in Mondstadt, why do you have to worry about a thing such as a price?

"Of course My Lady"

Adeline chuckle looking at your flustered face in front of the mirror

"Your wedding would be much bigger than this, of course, this is just your engagement party"

She added, looking very pleased that it sends a shiver down your spine

Still, you felt happy. Today was the day Diluc would be announcing your relationship and your engagement in the eyes of the public.

"Hmmm, Where is Diluc?"

"Master Diluc is currently waiting for you outside"

"Wha-what? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

You panic

You've been staring at yourself for a while not knowing your lover was already waiting for you outside, by your realize Adeline couldn't help but to chuckle.

"Master Diluc told us to take your time, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't mind waiting for My Lady"

She smiles at you, nodding along side her was the other two maids

"Then I'll go get going"

You stated, standing up and heading towards the door

With your gloved hand  holding the doorknob, you twist it.

And what you saw outside was jaw dropping figure of your lover.

Unlike his usual black themed outfit, he was wearing a suit with a black undershirt, a rose chest next to his red ascot tie, right above it was his vision, and his red hair, just like usual was tied into a pony tail with a black ribbon that matches yours.

For a moment, you had an urge to marry him, right here and now. Like screw the engagement, you should be having your marriage ceremony right away.

"(Fi--.. First name)?"

Diluc was mesmerized, he's been waiting for you for awhile now, and he was nervous and he felt funny because of that. He was someone who never felt fear facing his enemies, but he was nervous of you coming out of that door.

He was scared, and nervous you might run off. He loves you, and he was pretty sure you love him too. But his job was dangerous, he was afraid that was enough reason for you to leave.

But looking at you, who seems to be flustered on your own way, he couldn't help but to admire. It has been awhile since he saw you wearing something formal since you hate gathering. But you always made him an exemption.

You didn't even wear such dress on your debut, but you did during his, and now when you're having your engagement party.

For a moment he thought he should marry you right now instead of only having an engagement party.

"You look good, Diluc"

You smile as you walk towards him

He felt strange, he felt flustered and annoyed. He felt strange, something was swirling on his stomach. He felt flustered by the compliment, ears turning red. And lastly he felt annoyed by the fact that, he wanted to compliment you first.

Unable to say anything, he pull you close to him, almost stumbling but he caught you in his arms, place his finger in between your chin and bring it close to his face.

Soon your lips meet.

And in between the heated moment,

"Ehem, Master Diluc, My Lady (First name). I believe its time for both of you to greet and announce your relationship to the guess, don't to think so?"

It was a Adeline with a smile on her face

Hearing that voice, your lips parted and embarrassed by the situation, you cover your face with your hands, earning a chuckle from your lover who's ears were red.

"Then Love, shall we go?"

You withdraw your hands that was covering your face to see him offering his white gloved hand towards you

"Shall we?"

Instead of grabbing your hands, you lean close to him, removing your left hand gloves, a finger whipping off your lipstick on his lips.

Putting on your gloves once again, you gave him a peck on his cheeks before grabbing his still offering hand as he stand there dumbfounded.

"Let's go dear"

You smile at him

He blink, then a chuckle escape his lips, a genuine smile appeared on his lips, red eyes shining with happiness, admiration and love every time he see you.

"Let's go"

That night, in the first party held right after the disaster about stormterror has been solved. The news of the wealthiest gentleman in Mondstadt, the tycoon of a winery empire in Mondstadt, the young man unmatched in every possible way.

Suddenly announced his engagement with none other than his childhood sweetheart, (First name) (Last name), You.
