Fly Away, Promising To Return (DilucxReader)

Ch 12

Another Sunday, another day (Y/N) comes by. I watch as (Y/N) as they walks back to their car. I'd walk them out, but they always retaliate. I see Kaeya approach (Y/N). They're both smiling, I shouldn't be jealous about this. Even so, I can't help it. Knowing how much more time he's spending time with them. He starts getting closer to (Y/N) and even closer, that flirty bastard. He's constantly doing this I bet, maybe (Y/N) enjoys the attention. They laugh a little. He inches a bit closer, making me a little uncomfortable. He leans in and kisses them, my eyes shooting open. As I'm about to go settle this, Jean comes out of the bathroom obstructing my view. "Jean.." I say a little frustrated.

"Hey, you seem a little tense. You alright?" I knew I was right about Kaeya, I knew it! Why couldn't they just listen to me!

"It's none of your business Jean now move out of the way." I come out from behind the bar.

"Hey, calm down, what's going on?" She seems more confused than anything, but she's being a nuisance.

She stops me by my arms. "Let me go." It's a statement, I'm not asking. "Now!" She steps out of the way at last and I rush outside. Not even Kaeya could be found. I groan and shoot daggers at Jean inside.

"What happened, you ok?" If she asks that one more time.. I swear I'll punch someone.

"Go home Jean. Never get in my way like that again." Thinking it's just my normal attitude she sighs and leaves. As I'm doing paperwork in my office, just a little more calmed down, there's a knock at the door. "Come in." I say flatly. Charles comes in, a bouquet of flowers in his hands. "Lay them down, I'll figure out what to do with them later." He does so and eventually it's time for me to head home. (Y/N) probably won't like that these are from her, I'll just gift them to her instead. We can talk about the kiss some other time, I'm too worn out to start something.

I enter our house with the bouquet of flowers. I realize it still has the picket. "Did.. you have a good night?" I quickly hide it in my pocket, trying not to draw much attention to it, before handing the flowers to (Y/N).

"It was alright I suppose." With Jean around, things have gotten tiring. "Those are for you." They set them down on the counter to come over and hug me. I wrap my arms around their waist, not wanting to let go. They're mine, all mine. I eventually let go, it's just what I needed.

"No they're not." They scoff, throwing away the picket. Shit. "Why are you doing this?" My eyes somewhat widen, what am I doing exactly?

"What are you talking about?" They place the flowers neatly in the vase, not putting in any water. Despite being at the sink.

"Pretending that.. that.. I don't know! I'm just.." They slam their fists on the counter, it's not loud but, it's shocking.They take a deep breath. "Never mind, just forget it." They turn to leave, but they're finally showing me that there's something wrong. I can't let this moment slip away. I grab their wrist.

"No, what's wrong." They glare at me, shouldn't I be the one upset right now? They're the one kissing other men.

"That! The roses, the vase, and all the time you've been taking off of work!!" For the first time ever, they're yelling at me. We've never had a serious fight before.

"Taking off of work..? I thought that's what you wanted me to do! You hadn't stopped pestering me about taking a break up until a few months ago!" Their eyes widen, almost as if they were surprised, ridiculous.

They pull their arm out of my grasp and head back to the sink. Taking in a cool glass of water they calm down. I guess they don't want to fight about this as much as me. "With me Diluc.." They turn to look at me, but quickly shift their gaze to the floor. "I wanted you to spend time with me, take some time out of your busy day to spend with me. Was that so hard to ask for? You seemed to have no problem doing it.. for her!" The first time was accidental, but she wouldn't stop pestering me about doing something again. "I wanted to paint a mug.. you made a vase and painted it!! Why couldn't you do that for me!! You've taken a whole 2 weeks off, if we put the days together, to hang out with her!! But not me! I.." I'm sure Charles isn't happy about that either, but it's not like hanging out with Jean is a break either. She's been having family issues. "That's more time than you've spent with me, off work, in the last.. 2 MONTHS!?!?" I look on as they yell. Let it all out (Y/N), something they should've been telling me. They take another gulp of water and look back toward the flowers Jean gave me. "And why would you lie about the flowers??? That's so stupid! Is she coming onto you!? She is isn't she!?" She might be, but it's nothing they should be worrying about. I would never let anything happen, unlike their relationship with Kaeya.
