Remnant (GI x Male Reader)

Act 0, Part 7: The Second Temple

Mondstadt Region, Teyvat

A bright light flashed as the cryptic gates of the Temple of the Falcon shone, three people materializing from the light.

"Alright! That's the Temple of the Falcon defeated! We're one step closer to beating Stormterror once and for all!" Paimon cheered, (Y/N) and Amber sharing a glance before they both grinned.

"Yep! I can't wait to tell Jean! I'm sure she'll be so relieved!" Amber sighed dreamily, already imagining the compliments from the revered Acting Grand Master.

"Hm...I guess you'll be going to report that now?" (Y/N) asked, a curious but knowing expression on his face.

"Yeah, let's go- ah...you have to go to the next Temple, right, um..." Amber recalled, seemingly hesitating as her gaze alternated between the ground and (Y/N).

"It's fine. We'll go and bring some more good news, so don't worry about us." (Y/N) gave a small smirk, Amber's face heating up just a bit. Was she that obvious?

"A-Alright! I'll go report to Jean, and you can go back up Kaeya. Kaeya can be a bit cryptic at times, and perhaps even a troublemaker, but he's a reliable person. He won't give you too much trouble...um, hopefully." Amber gave a nervous laugh, both Paimon and (Y/N) poker facing at her.

"Ah, right, you do remember how to get there, right?" Amber inquired with a small smile, (Y/N) nodding.

"Yeah. We just have to keep following this path north to the Temple of the Wolf, right?" (Y/N) asked rhetorically, pulling out the map Lisa had handed him as he ensured the route, nodding his head afterward.

"Alright. Then, don't keep Kaeya waiting too long. You've also got to help Lisa afterwards, anyway. I'll go report to Jean, so um...take care of yourselves." Amber held a hand over her heart, a genuine look of worry on her face.

"Paimon will make sure to keep (Y/N) out of trouble!" Paimon gave a small smile, (Y/N) rolling his eyes at her.

"Right. We'll take care of ourselves just fine." (Y/N) chuckled as he shook his head in amusement.

"I'll hold you to that. Okay! The next time we meet, I'll treat you to some Sticky Honey Roast, like I promised before." Amber let her hand fall in relief, a bright smile plastered on the Pyro Visionary's face.

"Paimon will make sure we come back, hehe!" Paimon drooled dreamily, hovering ecstatically around (Y/N).

"I'll look forward to it. See you then." (Y/N) smiled, before Amber stepped forward, giving him a tight hug before pulling back.

"Okay! I'll go report to Jean and wait for the good news! See you both soon." Amber gave a genuine kind smile, (Y/N)'s eyes widening slightly as she held his hand, before she let go, turning on her heel and walking away, leaving the two to watch her leave, only for Amber to turn after a while, waving with a bright smile as (Y/N) did the same, Amber grinning before she left with a small skip in her steps.

"How cute." (Y/N) couldn't help but chuckle, Paimon still stuck in her foodie dreams.

"(Y/N)! Come on, let's go! Paimon wants to try the Sticky Honey Roast! We don't have time to wait around!" Paimon pulled on (Y/N)'s sleeve, the (h/c) haired boy smiling.
