Angel's Share, definitely the place to come after a long day. The casual atmosphere, the amazing drinks and absolutely not forgetting- the beautiful people that were here. 

You took a long swig from your mug, your eyes glancing upwards at the red-haired bartender. They then squinted shut as the kick of your drink hit the back of your throat, and you cough and splutter a little as you set the mug down. 

"The night's still long." Diluc looked at you, one hand on the counter as he leaned against it. "Are you trying to get drunk that early?" 

"No. I just want to get intoxicated to just the right amount. You know what they say about liquid courage, right?" 

A harrumph escaped him. "I don't trust those that rely on liquid courage. Nor the ones that coin the term." 

"Bad day?" He asked a while after watching you take yet another swig and wiped off the sweat that was starting to form at your brow. 

"Yes. But not really." You shrugged. "But I'd say I realized today that I only have so much time to do what I want, and get what I want. And apparently, I'm been wanting something for a very long time, so I feel like it's time to get it." 

"I see. I think I understand what you mean now. It's always better to realize that before you lose it." Diluc took off his gloves then, tucking them into his pocket. His sleeves were rolled up next, showing of a pair of thick arms, his muscles flexing slightly as his hands moved. 

You couldn't help but stare, admiring them. How was it that his fingers seemed so long and delicate? It made such a contrast to his toned arms that were anything but so. Following his movements, you watch as he picked up a glass and a cloth, his fingers running along the surface and the rim, trailing it. 

"You have nice hands." You blurted out suddenly. Diluc's eyes locked with yours as he arched an eyebrow, not stopping his movements. 

"Thank you?" Somehow, his fingers seemed to start playing with the glass at your comment. He dragged the pad of his fingers along the glass, sometimes tapping it lightly, sometimes drawing circles against the surface. 

Your thighs pressed against each other as your mind began to race. "Thinking of something?" 

Your eyes snapped back up towards his as you tried not to splutter. 

"No- Nothing." Yet, your heart was pounding as you brought the drink back to your lips, your gaze still locked with his. 

There was a slight hint of a smile on his lips that made you slightly flustered then.

 "You're not filling something in your cup? I heard you have had a new batch of wine made." You said in attempt to distract him. 

Obviously, Diluc was a conquest that you'd wanted, tonight more than ever. But you'd never expect him to be so... receptive of your attempts. As if he was reciprocating your interest as well. It was odd, because you'd never known Diluc to act this way. And you know that because this was not your first attempt at flirting with him. 

"No... I'm not one for drinking. I don't like the taste of alcohol." He mused, his voice tilting. The glass clinked slightly as he set it onto the table and walked in front of you. He set both his hands on the counter, and your eyes trailed to his broad shoulders as he spread his arms. 

"That, and maybe someone already told me the fact that you're a lightweight when it comes to drinking." 

"Well, that might be true. But, I'd much prefer saying that I don't need liquid courage to do what I want as well." He was leaning in now, getting closer and closer to you. His voice seemed to be teasing you, which started to make you feel all sorts of ways that you can't name nor think of at this point. 

"And what is it that you want?" 

Indeed, you were taken aback slightly, but you attempted to steer the conversation again. Using the back of your hand, you lifted your chin upwards. You noticed he dropped his gaze momentarily downwards, before he lifted it up with a darkened look in his eyes. 

"Once again, are you drunk? Or are you just saying so because I am and you think I'm not going to remember in the morning?" You asked him once more, lightly teasing. Your fingers made contact with his on the table as you tilt your head slightly. His hands were warm, and you wonder if it was his affinity with Pyro that made his skin warmer, or if he really had alcohol. 

 A short pause ensued as Diluc tilted his head. "Maybe I did have a drink or two. The ones that you always order when you come." 

"So you can kiss me longer if I taste like something you always come back for." 

 His voice was a whisper then as he caressed your face, the mere feeling on his fingers sliding down against your cheeks already sending shivers down your spine. 

"Then, you'll let me kiss you?" Your eyebrows raised as you asked for confirmation once again. Your lips dropped open just a little in the anticipation built up, your gaze trailing to his perfectly pink lips. 

"I don't think you needed to ask." 

Diluc closed in the rest of the distance, and placed his lips on yours. Sucking and nibbling on your lower lip, you could already taste hints of ginger and alcohol. Your mouth fell open, as his soft tongue slid inside your mouth. His lips locked onto yours fully then, muffling a surprised gasp from yours. 

Your eyes fluttered shut as one of your hands curled into his silky hair; the other placed on his back, tugging at his white shirt. Your tongue swirled against his as he dominated your mouth easily. His hands sliding up your arm and rubbed on your shoulder as the other caressed your cheek. 

Both of you were panting as you pulled back, and your gaze immediately fell to his lips again as you craved more. He tasted even better than you imagined. 

"I have had such a hard time resisting you. You and all your flirting attempts, your charisma... Every single little thing you do, on purpose or not." Diluc's voice was hoarse as he said. "But I think I no longer want to hold myself back anymore." 

The look in his eyes was something that you've never seen before, but you can tell already that he was not letting you go. At least, not for the night. 

And as he said, the night was long.
