Detectable Rivalry~ Heizou x fem!reader

⁂ Dahlias ⁂

Mentions of alcohol abuse!!!!
(if that's a triggering subject, i can put a summary at the end in easier detail <3)

'Come on, let's get you up.' Childe supported your arm and you stood up. 'Right, where first?' He exclaimed. Your eyebrows furrowed but you smiled at his enthusiasm. 'What are you on about?' You questioned, tilting your head. 'Well, its definitely been a while, let's hang out! Put your mind off things.' He smiled and patted your shoulder.

You agreed and made your way back to Liyue harbour. The fact that Childe found you, practically in the middle of nowhere stayed on your mind. Something didn't seem right, but you trusted him. 'Hm..that's the time already? Let's go get lunch, my treat.' Childe smirked after looking at his pocket watch. Next to the watch hung his hydro 'vision'. It looked practically the same as yours, but there wasn't that glow.

Smaller things were popping into your mind. Things that felt off. You just brushed it away, thinking you were still in a haze from yesterday.

Childe took you to Liuli Pavilion. It looked astonishing from the outside, and you couldn't even imagine how expensive it would be. 'Childe, we don't have to go somewhere too expensive. We can just get street food?' You pleaded, not wanting to spend his money. 'Y/n, it's alright.' He held out a bag of Mora in his pocket. And then two more in another pocket. 'Oh..alright, as long as it's okay with you.' You smiled at him.Through your peripheral vision, you saw that his fist seemed to clench slightly. 'You're too kind Y/n, now come on, i've made a reservation.'

He made a reservation? When? Did he know you'd say yes to him?

Childe stepped inside and you were escorted to a reserved table. It was nothing like the restaurants in Inazuma. It was giant and extravagant. Gold flowers dotted around. 'Order what you like..please.' He smiled as the waiter came over.

Childe ordered a few things for the table, so you didn't really need to get a big meal. 'Oh! And one bottle of dandelion wine.' He finished the order. 'You've had dandelion wine before, right?' Childe asked. You nodded before answering. 'Yes! In Mondstadt actually, it's heavenly.'

It was true that dandelion wine was delicious, but it was pretty strong.

There was a little bit of idle chatter amongst the two of you. 'I really feel underdressed, oh! what's the time Childe?' You asked, pointing to the watch on his side. 'It is, 5pm.'
'Wait, WHAT?' How had it gone by so quickly? How long were you asleep?

'Childe when did you find me?' You asked. Surely Heizou would have been worried. He wasn't the type to forget at all. Even if you were in a rocky patch, you knew he would still care. 'It was around 4:15 when you woke up.' Childe answered. When you woke up? Was he there before i woke?

The waitress snapped you out of your thoughts and handed a bottle of wine to Childe. He filled your glass and as soon as you finished you were on it. Taking a sip, the wine tasted different. Maybe it had been matured for longer?

The food was beautiful, and your confidence was rising more and more. 'Childe, can we go out to the streets? I'm bored of wine~' You groaned at him. All the plates were empty and Childe stood up to pay.

You had about three or four glasses of wine, but were already drunk. You weren't particularly a lightweight, but you blamed the cause on how fast you drank them. 'Let's get going then!' Childe didn't seem drunk at all, weird..

It wasn't long before you were stumbling over both your feet and your words. 'I'm so tired..' You groaned. 'Don't fall asleep though! I'll get you back to the hotel.' Childe tried to take your hand before you snapped. 'No, i can't! Heizou is there and..i do not want to see him right now. Is there anywhere i can stay?' The truth was, you were nervous to speak to him again. You desperately wanted to, but he could be pretty stubborn at times.

'I might have a place- and she's asleep.' Childe picked you up, and carried you over to the guarded entrance of Liyue Harbour.

Heizou's POV

She wouldn't stop flooding my thoughts. I asked around to every bystander on weather they saw a h/c girl, but all shook their head. How could i be so stupid?

I decided to check outside again at around 5:30pm. 'If it's Y/n we are talking about, then she's gotta be out here somewhere...' I muttered to myself.

The night was drawing in and i couldn't take it anymore. Running to the docks, i saw the Crux Fleet about to depart. 'WAIT!' I signalled towards the ship. I ran as fast as i could towards Beidou who was now walking towards me. 'Heizou? What's wrong..where's Y/n?' She asked, a confused look on her face. 'That's..that's the problem...i can't find her anywhere. I thought she might be here but..oh gods what have i done..' I tried desperately to keep it together.

'We haven't seen her.. Kazuha, check with those on board!' She shouted to the White haired male. 'Look, Heizou it'll be okay. Explain to me what happened, how is it your fault?' I could feel my lungs about to collapse.
'I..i told her i'd wait for her..i told her i would..i kissed her and then everything came flooding back in..i was irrational..i..i asked her if she saw us as..anything more..i ruined everything.' Beidou's face had a look of fear and regret. 'We will find her. She can't have gone to Inazuma.' She was mentally checking things off as she tried to calm me down.

'Heizou where does she normally go? What's her favourite thing to do?' My head spin. There was only one thing i could think of. 's-she..she looks up to the stars a lot. she likes the solidarity..quietness..'

'Then let's get going.' Beidou looked forward before signalling to her clan to dock the ship.

Y/n's POV

I felt an unusual feeling in my chest as i woke up. Trying to move my arms, i felt a tug by my wrist. Looking down, i saw my hands strapped to the arms of a chair, while my ankles strapped the the legs.

'Ah! So you're finally awake!' A flirtatious voice called out from the darkness of the solemn room.

________________________________
A/n

little summary for those who skipped :)
Childe takes Y/n out for dinner to Liuli Pavillion. He orders dandelion wine and Y/n gets very wasted. They decided to drink more once leaving the restaurant, making Y/n very drunk, yet Childe wasn't. Before she knew it, she was asleep.

Heizou looks for Y/n multiple times. He decides to head out towards where the crux fleet dock and see if Beidou is there. Placing his trust in beidou, she tells her everything and each regret he holds. They decide to search around the hills of Liyue as Heizou sees them as the only place she would go to.

Y/n wakes up in a room strapped to a chair, someone enters and is happy she's 'finally awake'
