Love or hatred? (Diluc x y/n) OLD VER

11:Caught in the act

(Y/N) POV
I woke up the next day feeling tired. I have to tell Diluc soon, he have to know if I want to keep this relationship clean of lies and secrets. I went out of my hotel to see Elzer, one of Diluc's men, walk up to me. "There you are, Ms (y/n). Diluc has asked me that if it was ok for him to accompany you and the traveller to Liyue?" Said Elzer. "DILUC GOING TO LIYUE? Wow, that's unexpected. Oh wait...he will definitely meet my annoying brother and he would probably find out there..."

"I don't mind him following," I said, waving goodbye to Elzer as he left.

I was walking in the woods when a Fatui agent came up to me. "What is it?" I Said, not even turning to look at the agent. "Madam, we have a new batch of recruits who are stationed in Dragonspine. You are the only Harbinger in the area so we need you to give them an opening speech and a quick briefing," Said the agent. I sighed. "Fine, but make it quick,"

Third person POV
Little did (y/n) know, Diluc was following her. Diluc didn't get it. The Fatui? Only harbinger in the area? (Y/N)?

Diluc continued to follow them as they enter dragonspine. (Y/n) change scarf and placed her mask on the side of her head before entering dragonspine. It was just the outskirts of dragonspine so the cold doesn't bother (y/n) much.

Diluc watched from the shadows of the pine trees and (y/n) spoke to the Fatui members. Diluc felt as if he had been lied to the moment he had feelings for this seemingly sweet person.

(Y/N) finished talking and dismissed the Fatui members, she was a bit cold at this point. (Y/N) saw flashes of red run away from the scene and knew it had to be Diluc. "Oh bonkers, did he see it all?"

(Y/N) chased after Diluc, calling out to him.

"Diluc Wait!" (Y/N) finally caught up to Diluc, she had a hand in his Shoulder. "Listen Diluc, I can explain!"

"Then explain!" Said Diluc.

"I was going to tell you but you found out the hard way...I know you don't like the Fatui and you feel betrayed right now but, I don't tell people I'm a Fatui harbinger as soon as I meet someone. I'm not the type that wants to be hated," (y/n) said, looking desperately at Diluc.

Diluc looked back at (Y/N), mixed emotions in his eyes. "I will still accompany Lumine and you, I will give you one chance to prove to me that you are different from the rest of the Fatui!" And with that, Diluc left.

(Y/N) sighed, she was busted so soon. (Y/N) just hope Diluc won't go around telling people about her secret.

(Y/N) POV
I just finished wrecking a hilichurl camp with Lumine and Paimon although Paimon did nothing. I looked at Lumine. "So, do you mind Master Diluc coming with us to Liyue?" Said Lumine. Lumine shook her head. "I don't mind, he's kinda cool don't you think?" Said Lumine.

I decided that it would be best to tell Lumine and Paimon since we are going to be traveling together but what if our newfound friendship falls apart immediately?

We will be heading off to Liyue that evening, Lumine and Paimon went off to inform Diluc while I got my stuff and checked out of the hotel before going to the spot we planned to meet up at before going to Liyue.

Diluc was Already there and he was with Paimon. Lumine and I came at the same time. Diluc gave me a look that I can't seem to understand very well. While Lumine and Paimon walked at the front, Diluc and I walked a bit further behind. "You haven't told them?" Said Diluc in a low voice. I shook my head. "They'll find out at Liyue. My annoying brother is surely going to blow my identity," I replied.

Diluc raised and eyebrow. "You have a brother? And he's at Liyue?"

"Yeah, he's the 11th Harbinger. He can be a real asshole sometimes," I said.

"Sounds a lot like Kaeya buy also a lot unlike Kaeya," Said Diluc, probably thinking about Kaeya's bad drinking habits.
