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

25:Ouch...that hurt

Third person POV
Diluc brought (y/n) back to the dawn winery. He changed (y/n) out of her bloodstained clothes and changed her into a set of his own clothes before he called a doctor to take a look at her. Diluc was in his room, he stared at the delusion. Another of this device killed his father, was it going to kill his lover too?

Diluc frowned. What was he thinking? Trying to kill her like that? If he had listened, if he had been more calm, she wouldn't be this hurt.

Diluc sighed and went out of his room. The doctor arrived and did a check up. "Oh my, it seems that the injuries which existed before she got hurt has not fully healed. Poor girl, she has some internal damage for some reason and a fever is acting up. Give her this medication every 3 hours," Said the doctor before leaving.

Diluc carried (y/n) to his room and set her down on his bed while he examined the delusion further.

(Y/n) POV
-(y/n) is dreaming-
I was in the middle of nowhere, it was just darkness. My hands were dripping with blood, my sword had blood everywhere on it. I looked in front of me, it was the dead body of Diluc. I dropped my sword and ran to his side, I was horrified by this sight.

The world around me swirled and I was suddenly slowly descending into darkness, it felt like I was drowning in cold dark waters. I tried reaching for the light but it soon disappeared from sight.

"Hey, (y/n)?"

"(Y/n)?"

"Wake up!"

Wake up...wake up...come on...I have to wake up...

"Wake up (y/n)..."

WAKE UP ALREADY ARGH! WAKE UP

I woke up.

Diluc was staring at me, I opened my eyes. The pain set in almost immediately. I was slightly confused. "Huh...am I dead?" I mumbled. Diluc pulled me into a hug. "No, you're not dead. I'm so sorry I tried to kill you..." Said Diluc. His warmth smoothed the pain a bit, it was nice to be near Diluc when he isn't trying to kill me or whatever.

Ever since I returned to Mondstadt, things were just crazy. I decided that I should rest, maybe not tell Signora what happened.

I noticed that my delusion was on Diluc's desk. I looked at him, this was going to be awkward. "Uh...Diluc? Why is my delusion on your desk?" I hated the awkwardness that question brought. Diluc was silent.

"I...I just wanted to examine it?" Said Diluc.

I raised an eyebrow. "Uh, ok?"

I tried to stand up but I felt a sharp pain in my chest and I was forced to sit down again. "I don't want you going anywhere near that delusion for a while, got it?" Said Diluc sternly. "Oh? You're actually worried about me using the delusion again? I only use it when it comes to necessary or life-threatening situations..." I muttered. Diluc frowned.

"Well, it's yours. But promise me you won't hurt yourself like...like..." Diluc couldn't bring himself to say it. I nodded and Diluc passed me the delusion back along with my vision.

Diluc went to make some tea for me. I sat alone, going over what had happened that night.

Well..that was tense. Argh, this is so complicated! I hope Diluc didn't find my documents related to the Fatui. Where is it anyways? Where is my bag...

I saw my bag nearby and limped over. I searched inside and took out my folder. I unlocked it and looked through my papers. I locked it again once I was sure nothing was missing and placed it in my bag again. I sighed, I'm really unable to fight at this point. Maybe I should go to Liyue when I'm nearly recovered.

Diluc walked in with some tea. We chatted while sipping the tea. I was rather surprised by Diluc's behavior. A few hours ago, he wanted to murder me, and now, he's back to being loving.

Maybe I should train a bit more...maybe I should go kick Childe's ass in a proper fight when I am fit to fight. Ah yes, that's a good plan for the next month or so...oh wait. There's that Dawn winery event. What if he is coming? He would be worried if he saw me like this. WHAT IF HE TRIES TO KILL DILUC? Or...WHAT IF THEY TRY TO KILL EACH OTHER?!

Diluc went to change into pajamas and I was just writing down on a piece of paper about the crazy things that happened. Just to keep a record. I put the paper away in my folder and waited for Diluc. Diluc flopped onto the bed, his long red hair was untied. He looked absolutely fluffy! I lied down beside him, my hair also untied. He pulled me closer to him until I was close to his chest.

Diluc fell asleep, his arm on my stomach. I looked up at the ceiling. Wondering when I can be up and about.
