You informed your older brother what had happened with that strange glasses man earlier when you were just trying to get your food.

Diluc assured you that he's going to close the party in about an hour because he hasn't spoken to his few business partners all around Teyvat. Understanding the man, You just went back to your room to feel more safe and comfortable.

Childe was nowhere to be seen and you were starting to get worried.

But in all reality, Childe was just stress drinking in the kitchen, alone. Sometimes the butler would go on and check on him just because Diluc asked.

You close your door as you sigh. You should remove your party gown since it's heavy and of course, it's not like you're gonna go out again to talk to some strangers. It's already getting late, and you can feel your body getting heavy.

✧

Childe took another big gulp of the winery's wine. It's his... 10th bottle.

He needed this stress reliever since you know, stuff has been happening and it's not like he got the chance to take a relaxation time, especially when the thing between him and your older brother was intense.

He messily wiped his mouth as his thoughts wandered back to the woman he loved.

Oh yeah, where is she? He hadn't seen her ever since earlier when the party started, and he already missed her presence.

Childe then decided to go upstairs as he tried to walk up the stairs without falling and making a scene. And that was successful, he walked as if he hadn't drowned himself in alcohol.

He then arrived at your door, he was too intoxicated to even have the consciousness to knock as he just opened your door.

And there he saw you in front of your full body mirror, peacefully combing your hair.

You saw his figure standing in front of your doorway as you smiled at him, "Hello," you greeted with a smile.

Childe didn't say anything and just slammed the door shut which made you furrow your eyebrows at him.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" You asked as you turned to him and eyed him up and down.

And you had to admit, he's pretty intimidating right now. He's not smiling at you, he looks like he's about to devour you alive...

Is that even the right word?

Childe then quietly approached you as he slump his body on you, hugging you in the process. You of course had to catch him, or else the two of you will be on the ground. Your nose immediately scrunch when you took a sniff on him.

"Did you drink?" You asked, trying to get him away from you.

But he didn't budge, and also didn't answer your question.

And without a word, his hands suddenly gripped on your waist as your eyes widened in surprise.

"Childe?" You called out to him.
