I entered the office feeling fresh, after meeting Akio last night I had a good night sleep.

Before I walk into the office I walk over to Akio and Kaori.

"Hey guysss!!!" I yell as I wave at them

"Hey y/nnn, long time no see" Kaori responds as she waves back

"What's up y/n" Akio says as he high fives me.

"Nothing really, just getting ready to walk into the office soon" I respond with a sigh.

"You guys still haven't made up huh?" He assumes

"Yeah that's about right" I reply as I take an even deeper sigh.

"So then you haven't got anything planned for today?" Kaori questioned looking shocked.

"Planned? What are you talking about?" I ask confused .

"Wait you don't know???" Akio enters the conversation randomly.

"Know what???" I now impatiently ask wanting them to spit it out already.

"It's Mr Childe's birthday today!!!" Kaori squeals and has a surprised look on her face (I'm guessing it's because I didn't know)

I widen my eyes, really is it actually his birthday today??

"Wait what?!" I respond in shock.

I take a quick look around to observe the office atmosphere. I then look back at them both.

"No one seems to care" I whispered to them.

"I mean most people in the office probably don't know, he doesn't make a big deal about it and I never see him celebrate it or cut cake or anything" Akio explained

"How come I'm only finding out about this now!!" I complain to Akio.

"Hey, I never knew you wanted to know" he says as he puts his hands up in defence.

"I know your on bad terms y/n but maybe a little something for his birthday can be an acceptation??" Kaori pouts as she tries to convince me.

"I-I guess being nice on his birthday is the least I could do" I give in and sigh in defeat.

"Well, you best get going, if you want you can give him a little cake too" Akio suggests as he winks.

I mimic him in front of his face and walk off.

It's really Childes birthday today and he's still stuck here doing work, Fatui really don't take days off.

I walked into the office and Childe didn't look up as usual.

I know we're not on good terms at the moment but I can't stand that he looks so gloomy on his birthday surely Teucer wouldn't want this for his brother.

Suck it in Y/n your going to make this day as good as it can get.

"Good morning sir!!" I randomly enthusiastically greet him.

Okay what a terrible start I just did that out of impulse what the hell.

He looked up and gave me a weirded out look.

"Good morning" He responded as he scratched the back of his head.

I just gave an awkward smile.

"Um so, are you free during lunch, after work????" I asked politely.

"Y/n are you feeling okay?" He asked as he got out of his chair and walked towards me.

"I-I'm perfectly fine, why do you ask??" I asked a little too formally.
