mingled breathes were taken, huffs from the couple made everything seemed euphoric. small little words- even syllables- left their mouths, their own figures seemed closer. or maybe, rather than needed said, it was their inner most secrets that they shared at this moment.

really, who knew?

but with just that, their soft huffs, their closes desires, everything seemed to make them closer than before. maybe intimate moments like this truly did help the young couple.

but they seemed to forget each other in the process, the two of them forgetting exactly needed to be forgotten- whether it was intentional or not.

and when they seemed to huddle close together, ears hearing one's heartbeat, as the other gentle and softly hummed a tune. just the right one to, because it seemed to have created a special moment between the two.

and in her insightful desires, although they were in her mind, she seemed to still hold the heavily coated blush on her cheeks. a small devious smile present, but even then it seemed to hold something different to it now.

but diluc stared at her, watching as she indugled her thoughts in such a way. but he couldn't really say much, now could he? no, not exactly. but he still couldn't help but feel envious of the man that made her feel exactly like this.

although, he himself knew, he wasn't going to blurt it out, or say it. he was rather confidential about it, he couldn't just ask why the light blush she had darkened with every passing second. or why her eyes held a glaze- one that seemed to show a rather deep daze.

but he continued to clean the glasses that came to him, he continued to pour alcohol for the intoxicated people within the winery, and he continued to watch as the woman in front of him indulged into her mind.

that is until kaeya came over.

he seemed ever so confident within the girl.

but he never seen her as more than that, he simply saw her as a good person that spoke with ill fitted brother. but now.. now he seemed to only laugh at her, watching as she became embarrassed as he did so.

"I see, your giving way to your thoughts. yes?" the cheeky smile kaeya wore made her laugh softly, she covered her face before staring down at her lap.

"fantasies rather. my husband seems to be quite the talker, especially when slightly intoxicated. but he means well." she sighed out dreamily, a faint smile present.

"oh? you're married, who's the lucky guy?" kaeya's words seemed to carve a deep dent within diluc. and he couldn't help but stare at her, awaiting the answer she would them.

"oh right!" she was quite proud of her marriage with kazuha, he just had her on the right clouds, as well as fantasies. "he's the one you see the traveler speaking to often, he's an amazing person. I suppose you'd get along, kaeya and master diluc." she shook her head, still staring at her lap.

"how long have you been married?" diluc happened to forget he wasn't much of a person to ask such personal things. but he also hadn't stopped the zealous feeling spreading throughout his being.

who knew he had already been beaten to capture her attention.

"ah, we've been married since we were sixteen. quite young, I know... but we've lasted, haven't we?" she made eye contact with diluc, and for a split second she saw a flash of sadness before he turned away.

"well, as long as your happy, right?" he hid his broken heart and continued cleaning.

maybe it was the fact that he had already known she was taken- claimed rather- yet he couldn't help but feel so envious towards the man that had taken her. such a feeling caused a tide within him. he didn't exactly know what it was, but carved into him.

"I-I suppose. but, aren't you taken as well, master diluc?" she sounded curious, almost too curious. and he was tempted to say yes, but he wasn't he didn't have proof to show such a thing- not like her.

"no. I rather be alone, after all such heartbreak isn't my criteria anyways." he sent her a small, very miniscule, smile.

"Indeed, but I do hope you find the right person for you."

he didn't know if he had to say it any louder, or show it more, but he had fallen for her. even though she had been for two years already, he had fallen for her. and for most parts, he had fallen into a different person.

a side he often let's out if needed. but today wasn't it, it had been blown to pieces once her news was told. it had been long ago when kaeya walked away, when all the drunkards' left or were thrown out. but she still remained.

why exactly did she remain?
