Chapter 6- I had fun.

"Here girlie, follow me." Childe said as he continued to walk further down the hallway.

You followed without objection.

He arrived at a door and turned the door knob. He turned back towards you, "This is my room."

"O-Oh. Are you sure it's okay if I come in? I don't want to be intruding." You said hesitantly.

He giggled, "Silly, just come in."

You both walked in, his room was huge. But yours was still bigger. He had a king sized bed plastered against the wall, with two nightstands, one on each side of the bed. His closet was at least double the size of yours. He had pictures hung up on his wall. You walked over to them and observed.

"Is this your family?" You pointed towards the frame.
He walked up next to you, "It is! My pride and joy," he smiled.
You found it sweet how he talked so highly of his family. You noticed a little boy in the bottom right corner of the photo, "Teucer?! Is he your brother?"

"How did you know that's him? Do you know him?" Childe asked, surprised.

You giggled, "I do. I would run into him every once and a while in Liyue while I was stationed there. I could tell he was a Snezhnayan boy just by his clothes."

"Was he a good boy?" Childe asked.

"He was very good. But he would worry me, he always told me he was looking for someone but he never said who. But I would always take him for lunch and buy him a few things when he visited."

Childe sighed, "I'm sorry for making you take care of him. I wish I'd known when he was there."

"Wait, you were in Liyue?" You inquired.

"All the time. I'm surprised you never saw me just wandering around." Childe chuckled.

You continued to stare at the picture until you felt something grab onto your shoulders. You jumped under the sudden grasp, "C-Childe! You scared me!"

"Sorry girlie, I almost forgot the whole reason we were in here. Hold on a sec," Childe said as he pushed you towards his bed.

He opened up his nightstand and pulled out your mask, "Here. I want to give it back. I promise it isn't damaged or anything."

You grabbed it gently. It felt as if a huge weight was lifted off of your shoulder, "Thank you, Childe," you paused, "Anyways, I need to get back to my room. I need to unpack."

Childe pouted, "Can't you spend more time with me, Girlie? I like your company!"
Childe dramatically threw himself onto his bed, "My heart! I can't believe you would leave me by myself after forcing me to spillmy whole life story!"

You cackle, "Your whole life story! You only showed me a few pictures!"

Childe kicked his legs against his bed and flailed his arms around.

You bit your lip as you tried to contain your laughter. But to no avail, you lost that battle.
You couldn't stop your laughing, "You truly are acting like a child, Childe!"

He sat up, "HEY! THATS NOT NICE!"

You still haven't stopped laughing, you were practically on the floor. Childe took this opportunity to jump off his bed and pin you down.
