Chapter 28: Midnight Travel

"Are you really asking me out on a date, right now?!" You scream whisper at Childe who was standing at your bedroom door. You were wearing your pajamas and you were already going in a deep slumber when you heard him knock.

Childe gave you a cheeky grin, "Come on, (Y/n)! You know your Godmother is not going to let us leave tomorrow because she always have something for us to do." He said.

You looked at him with tired eyes, you sigh as you roll them, "No." You flatly said as you slam the door in front of him.

"I'll help you pull a prank on Avis if you come with me."

He said on the other side of the door.

It took you about 10 seconds before opening the door as you look up to him to see him with a big grin on his face.

"Ugh, fine." You agreed, but only because you want to make a fool out of your godmother tomorrow.

Childe chuckled, "Alright! Go get dress!" He said as he looked at you like an excited puppy.

You immediately closed to door in front of his face with a scowl. But once the door was opened, you covered you mouth with your hand as your cheeks went red.

That was so fucking adorable!

You thought. What a simp, (Y/n), What. A. Simp.

You and Childe were both holding in your laughs as you stare at Venti's sleeping face. The archon was snoring lightly, dreaming of swimming in a pool of red wine.

"Morax... No mora..." He mumbled under his breath as you snort.

Quietly you draw dark circles under Venti's eyes, hoping that he wouldn't have the muscle to wake up. Childe was just watching whilst holding in his snorts.

Now, Venti looked like a sketchbook.

After finishing grieving Venti's face, you got up and smile at Childe. He returned the same gesture before speaking.

"Let's go to your brother's tavern!" He suggested.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to visit your big brother's tavern in Mondstadt, right? After thoroughly thinking it out, you nodded as Childe grabbed your hand as the two of you run towards Mondstadt, which was not far since the two of were just at the outside of the town.

The two of you saw two Favonious knights at the gates who seemed to sleeping whilst standing up, man, they look like they had a pretty rough day. You ignored them as you and Childe decided to walk towards the tavern.

"Do you think he'll get mad at us?" Childe asked.

"Oh, Venti? Nooooo, he doesn't look through the mirror, he doesn't even have a mirror. So, he'll be walking around town looking like a sketchbook." You said as you giggled.

Childe laughed, though, that's not what he meant. What he meant is that your brothers. He didn't want to ruin the mood, so he decided not to further tell you. You look so happy and adorable right now.

Childe felt contented and happy right now, with him holding your hand as the two of you were walking towards the tavern, he hoped all of these positive things would last.

Though, there's a lingering fear that if Diluc ever found out his relationship with you, he might separate the two of you. Worse, he might never see you again.

Childe didn't have the clear answer as to why Diluc despises the Fatui. But, whatever reason that is, it must so severe that Diluc would want to kill him if he ever lay a hand on (Y/n).
