Golden Harbinger ~ Fluffy Childe x Reader Fanfic

☆ Chapter One ☆

It's Monday.

Again.

Walking across the bridge west of Liyue Harbor, you scowl to yourself. Why does time have to fly so quickly when you don't look forward to something?

Even though you told yourself you hated both the Golden House and the man you fought there every week, deep down you knew you enjoyed it.

Every time you went, one of you had a new trick, making it interesting to learn the new patterns and counters.

You make it to the stone stairs heading up to the Golden House. There were no Millelith here today. This'll be a quick entry.

Walking down the path, you admire the pretty scenery. Reaching the entrance, you grunt, pushing the huge golden doors open. Seemingly empty, you walk in and look around.

It was eerily quiet, but at this point you were used to it. The silence gets broken by the huge doors slamming behind you.

You saunter down the steps and walk into the middle of the large room. You stretch, then stare into the open space where the Exuvia had once been. You smile at the memory.

Suddenly, you hear a quiet drip-drip-drip behind you. He's here. Seconds later, you take a sharp breath as a cold, wet blade touches your neck.

"Hey, G/C. Am I late?" Childe whispers into your ear, his voice as velvety as ever.

You chuckle, swinging back your elbow and hitting him in the rib.

He grunts and takes his sword off your neck, staggering backwards. You kick his feet he falls on his back.

Materializing your sword, you put the tip of your blade on his chest, standing over him triumphantly.

"No, I just got here." You smile, looking him in his ocean-blue eyes.

"Charming."

His eyes go wide, like he just realized something. He studies your face carefully, and he smiles, his eyes glittering mischievously."Not bad, not bad. I'm impressed. You've gotten better already, G/C."

Suddenly, Childe's hydro sword appeared in his hand and he swung, faster than you could react. He knocks the sword out of your hand, then kicked your feet, knocking you down onto your back. He lunges, landing on top of you. He places his hydro blade across your neck, the cold water droplets making its way down your skin.

Your heart starts beating wildly as he leans down, getting closer to your ear. "But not good enough." he says quietly, momentarily brushing his cheek against yours.

Your heart stops as you feel his warm breath against your neck. His red scarf drapes over you. What's going on? What's he doing?! Stupid, stupid harbinger and his charm, getting me in this compromising position...

Butterflies start flying around in your stomach.

Archons, what is this feeling..- You realize that while he was distracted, you had an opening. Slowly and carefully, you move your hand from your side to his torso. Breathing in, you push hard against him and he tumbles over with a grunt.

Standing up swiftly, you shake off the odd feeling, grabbing your sword.

Turning to Childe, you see him with that smirk of his, eyeing you up and down. "Come now, amuse me."
