In Love With You (Diluc X Reader)

beside you

----

"So" diluc said his full attention on her.

"Are you gonna quit being a creep and staring at me" he said irritated as he walked back behind the counter.

Y/n slammed her head against the table just wanting to fall asleep then and there.

"If you break the table your gonna pay for it" diluc shouted at her from behind the bar.

She took a swig of the wine and shouted "maybe stop being fucking annoying and I won't want to break your ugly furniture"

Diluc only sighed shaking his head. Sometimes he regretted slowly growing feelings for such an idiot like her. Of course he didn't know what his feelings towards y/n were yet. He couldn't explain what he felt whenever she were in his presence. Or whenever they stared deeply into each other's eyes as if throwing daggers at one another out of hatred. That's what diluc thought it was at first. No, he knew it was hatred. They both hates each other and had no intention on becoming friends and that was that.

--
Y/n didn't like diluc at first. Not at all. Or maybe she did, but just didn't realize it yet.

She couldn't argue about a few things tho; he was good looking. From his face structure to his Physique and the way his long burning red hair was always in a high ponytail, defying his face shape accurately and seemingly making him more attractive. And the way his muscles flexed whenever he stretched over the counter.

However she also couldn't deny the tension that was present whenever they were alone.

She didn't know what got over her that night when he killed those hilichurls for her. She couldnt think straight.

She took another swig of her wine out of frustration. Then another. Then another. And then found her self fully chugging down the bottle with tears pricking at the edge of her eyes due to the biterness of the wine.

Before she knew it she was drunk and was blabbering some noncense about hilichurls tap dancing and the political issues of the nations she's been to.

Diluc sighed as he walked out from behind the bar towards y/n. He was extremely annoyed that he had to look after her. he didn't want to have to babysit her for maybe a whole day when he had things to do.

He grabbed her by the wrist gently to not hurt her and got her to stand up.

"There's no way your in any shape to leave the tavern on your own. You can sleep at the winery today since I don't trust your idiotic ass to guide me to your house. "

He held y/n gently by the wrist and walked all the way to the winery.

When they arrived he opened the door and realized something. He gave his maids the weekend off to be with their families. Who was gonna take care of y/n and change her now? She were in no shape to do it herself, she would probably find a way to injure herself like the idiot she is.

"Can you take a bath on your own? " diluc asked praying she were at least sober enough to do that.

Y/n shook her head while looking around the winery as if it was the first time being there.

Dilucs eyes widened in horror.

"Theres nobody here to bathe you though. Are you sure you won't manage? " he asked awkwardly.

Y/n shook her head then said "what about you? " pointing a few inches left completely missing diluc and pointing at the door instead, looking stupefied staring into nothing her eyes half lidded.

" I can't bathe you your drunk you don't know what your saying " diluc said now panicking a bit. He didn't want to make it look like he was taking advantage of her and he didnt want to disrespect her. She was drunk she didn't know what she was on about.
