A Way Into A Wealthy Man's Heart (Pantalone X Reader)

Chapter 4

It's 11:47pm. Yet all you can think about is Pantalone. Moving around your bed. You thought to yourself if smashing your head upon your bedside table would help. Of course it wouldn't. Plus you don't want to wake up the other Harbringers. You were desprately trying to get him out of your head. But to no avail. It was far too awkward to be crushing on your senior, was it?

Either way you can't sleep. But you suddenly remember an old canvas you bought for painting and maybe a paintbrush. You weren't that interested in art but since Snezhnaya was a beautiful region in Teyvat why not paint some scenery. But instead you were painting the 9th Harbringer. How odd. But you'll do anything to get him out of your head. Even if that means painting him. Well you could still throw it in the trash when your done.

You carefully opened your closet. Grab the canvas. The paintbrush. And surprisingly you remember to pack some paint tubes as well. And also a pencil. It was already 12 midnight. When you carefully started sketching. You had your light on so it wasn't dimly lit in your desk. You were deciding on what colors to use and mix with the other colors. The sketching was already done. A box shape for the torso and a circle implying the head. You were so focused in the colors yet you managed to notice your door opening. You turn back to see Capitano in your doorway.

"Hm, I see."
He mumbled to himself

Quickly slamming the canvas face first into your desk.

"Oh, Capitano, Haha, I wouldn't imagine to see you at this hour."

Internally panicking about how you were gonna explain. Well, what you were sketching in the canvas.

"I saw that your light is still open, You should already be sleeping." Capitano said before leaving closing the door.

"I could say the same to you.." you mumble as you continue deciding on which colors to use.

After 3 hours later you finally finished. Well finished the face and hair atleast. It was well a quarter to 4am. Your eyes were already begging for an inch of sleep. You left the canvas to dry and drift into a slumber. Maybe painting him was a great idea.

It was 8am. You were busy sleeping peacefully finally getting the regrator out of your mind. When a tall figure entered Y/N's room. Usually the Regrator would jokingly wake you up at some times. When he stopped in his tracks to notice the painting you did of him. It was unfinished yet it still made a resemblance to him.

Pantalone already confused at the mixed signals you were giving him. deciding to leave you still sleeping, peacefully. Maybe this was it. The regrator thought. He have seen and heard several artist paint the love of their lives. This idea made him overjoyed. But unsure, maybe it was just a gift. Or practice? He thought.

The idea of you being in love with him made his mind spiral out of control. With theories etc. He wasn't even thinking about the stock market anymore.

He admired you. So much when you first joined the Fatui. You were the one who caught his eye most.
And he tried desprately getting your attention to no avail. Whether it was to give you more allowance than the other Harbringers. Or gifting you some expensive things. Of course you denied it nicely saying you didn't need his money.
Yet why was he so shy to recognize his feelings. Was it his fear of rejection? The fear he might damage your current relationship. He didn't want to lose the person he most admired.

Maybe this painting meant something else he thought. He left you alone in your room still sleeping. Deep in thought.

After some time. You eventually wake up. Still feeling tired was it the lack of sleep? Well you did sleep late. Very late.
Nevertheless. Even if you still lack sleep your duty as a Harbringer still counts on you. So you decided to get ready. Putting on your coat and streaching a bit. You decided to visit Fuuta again in the cafe.
Stepping outside. Someone suddenly grabs the back of your coat. It was the Regrator.

"You again."

"Happy goodmorning to you too, Y/N. Wanna come to Liyue with me?"

"I just whent back ther-"

"I'm not taking no for an answer."

You thought about it. Liyue is a very beautiful region in Teyvat too.

"Why do you need me for?" You asked

"Well, I, hmmm."

"Are you really finding an excuse for me to accompany you."

"I just want you to be my bodyguard. I'm going to make important transactions, That's all!"

"Righttt, the 9th Fatui Harbringer, Can't you do this yourself."

"Just come with me, Please?"

"Sure, I don't really have somethings to do."

Of course Y/N used the teleport waypoint to get to Liyue. I don't wanna write a damn adventure 😭
