(Name)'s pov

The next day, as usual I left to go meet Thoma, Ayaka and Aether and we started talking about the vision hunt decree and the resistance.
"(Name) what package where you waiting yesterday?" Paimon asked

Shit

"Well ehe.. it was a.." I started looking around for something particular yet not weird "a kimono!" I suddenly said

"Really?! Can we see it??" Paimon asked "well I don't have it right now with me.." I answered

"Well, you can wear it at the fireworks festival. It will take place in a few weeks" Ayaka said smiling
I guess I could find a kimono in one week
"Sounds great! I hope I'll make it there!" I said
"Oh and about the maid.. (name) I didn't know you where that rich to have a maid!" Paimon said

Ugh Scaramouche shouldn't have sent a maid just like that..
"Well, I'm not that rich, and that wasn't my maid, it was.. my brother's maid, he's the one who bought the house and all. I started doing some jobs, but I'll never get as rich as him ahah.."
"We didn't know you had a brother! Where is he?"
"Oh he left for Lyue I believe, not sure thought since he travels a lot, but I don't mind. Staying here is pretty peaceful" I said with a warm smile.

"Today, I have to go home earlier, I have to write some postcards and train a lot.." I said faking a frown
"That's alright, we'll meet tomorrow!" Thoma said with a smile

They really are nice people, it's sad that I have to be fake.
I just want to be myself around them.

"You came earlier than usual" scaramouche pointed out
"Hi to you too Scara" I replied trying to sound annoyed

"I want to write a postcard to Childe" I said
"Go ahead" he replied

The postcard:

Hi Childe! Hope it isn't that boring without me, here I like it a lot.
Inazuma is really peaceful and I love its Sakura trees.
About Scaramouche, let's say we're getting along really well.
Write back, hope to see you soon! <3

"Can you go send it for me please?" I asked him
"Do I look like a postman?" He asked
"Come on Scaraaaa do it for meeeeee" I said
"No I'm on my break"
"Ugh fine I'll go later" I said placing the letter on the table as I sat next to him on the couch. Leaning closer I tried to see what he was reading.

"What are you reading?" I asked curiously
"Stuff about the Shogun.." he said
"Didn't know you where interested in her that much" I stated
"Interested isn't the right word actually"
"Then how do you call that?" I asked curious
"I'm.. searching for answers.."

"What answers..?" I asked a bit hesitant
"I'm sorry I didn't want to get to personal it's none of my business I believe" I said about to leave.
He looked at me thoughtfully

"Fine, I'll tell you. I trust you after all."
"I originally was the Shoguns prototype of puppet, but she didn't think I would become a good ruler so she just left me alone in the mortals realm. She.. was the first to leave me" he said.
He was abandoned and yet, even without a vision he was so determined for so long..
i don't know why, but I felt he needed a hug, so that's what I did.

I slowly wrapped my arms around his waist and got closer making his head rest on my shoulder. He was warm and looked calm, but as I pulled closer, his heart beat became really fast.
A bit hesitant he wrapped his hands around my waist too. I felt butterflies.
"Why..? You're supposed to look at me like if I'm a looser, the villan, why do you hug me..?" He spoke
"You may be a villain in many stories, but not in mine. You just need someone by your side.. I'm sure you know what I mean really well."
"I don't trust humans anymore.." he said
"Then don't see me as one" I said

We slowly pulled away from each other.

He was a tomato.

"Never hugged a girl before?" At that, he shook his head as a no.

How goofy

I made a small laugh and then headed to the front door.
"Where are you going?" He asked
"I have to order a kimono" i explained
"I should already have one" he said
"Why?"
"I expected you to ask for one"

"you expected that and not that getting me called by a maid in front of Aether wouldn't make me suspicious?" I asked
"That's ancient history" he said and then asked a maid to take the kimono.
It was beautiful
"Is it for me..?"
"No for the ghost behind you" he said
"woa so funny"

This guy is driving me crazy..
