childe pov this chap.
I got up in a hurry as my alarm go off. FUCK ITS 8 AM ALREADY !!! I jumped out of the bed and I got into my uniform before shoving everything into my bag and rushed to the school. Ah i see another person ! They must be late too right?! I smiled and walked over to them.
"Heheh are you late too?" I asked while writing my name in the 'late students' book. Half of the book was probably me and me alone. The guy next to me shook his head. "I just live too far and today was too crowded and slowed the path I took plus im new here." he said quietly but confidently.
"Oh damn it ! Then ill rush first ya?! See ya pretty boy !" I said and ran to my class. Uh-oh she's here today. "Ah there you are childe. Never early are you? Fit the name childe since youre acting like a child. Sit." I thanked her and rolled my eyes after I passed her to go to my seat. I sit at the back in the middle but alone. My deskmate moved school like 10 days after schoold started. It's not like I'm unpopular, I'm too popular that people feel intimidated I guess but to change schools? That's absurd. (wow narcissistic)
All of a sudden, we all heard a knock on the door. All of us have our attention at it. Then, a redhead poked their head inside. "This is 4B right?" he asked and the teacher nodded. "Uhm im the new student,," the teacher quickly pulled him in as if she couldn't just invite him in and let him walk in by himself but that's none of my business. His hair was tied into a high ponytail. His uniform fit his body loosely around his body. His voice was like a deep but comforting.
"Please, introduce yourself to the class." the teacher said. He looked around the classroom and our eyes met. His ruby eyes. It was so distracting. "Hi! I'm diluc ragnvindr. I just moved from monstadt to here, snezhnaya, please take good care of me." Again after he bowed his eyes locked with mine. "Alright diluc, go on and sit anywhere that's free," said the teacher. I can feel my heart beating faster each second that goes by.
Next thing I know he's coming my way. I started to panic but I didn't express it. He sat down next to me and out his bag on the floor, leaning on the legs of the table. "Hey, I'm diluc, the guy you met at the front gate?" he smiled. Oh my god, i think i just saw the most beautiful smile to ever exist. "I'm childe or tartaglia or a-jax if you prefer that ! I'm sorry I dont know why im stuttering so much." lies I know why, who wouldn't stutter infront of an angel. "Nope, it's okay,sometimes I stutter too, it happens. It made you cuter." ah is my face getting red now? I can't tell, but i hid my face either way.
Unfortunately, we didnt talk for the rest of the class until break comes. "Haaah i sure want a grape juice right now." He said while stretching. "I'm gonna go buy food." i said and run to the cafeteria. "Oh please dont go anywhere by the time im done paying." I mumbled and run back to the class as soon as I paid for the items. "Um here." I handed him a box of grape juice. "Eh you dont have to buy them for me ! How much is it? I'll pay you back," he said while reaching into his pocket. I stopped his hand. "Really, its fine, I was gonna buy a soda so I thought I would buy you that." I said while shaking my soda a bit to show him.
"U-uhm thanks." Why does he look so flustered? I look at where he is looking at and there it is, my hand, on his. I retreat it back as fast as I could. "um ! im sorry diluc i didnt notice." i said while sitting down. "its okay, your hand was a bit cold, it felt comfortable." he said and i swear my face was going red. "yeah, your hand feels like it belongs in mine." i said and winked at him. AW HES BLUSHING. oh my i just met him but it feels like years have past !
i put the sandwich i bought on the table. "share with me? im not totally hungry so i dont think im gonna finish both," i said knowing damn well im starving. diluc looked at me with eyes that clearly tell me he doesn't believe me. "sure," he said and took a piece. i smiled brightly and took the other one. we eat and talk the whole break and continue getting to know each other for the rest of the day.
