Comrades or More?

Chapter 9

Scara's pov

I woke up to a quiet snoring next to me, surprisingly, it was Childe. I looked around to see where we were, as we definitely weren't in the cafe anymore. Thats when i noticed the position we were in. I was half on top of Childe, my head on his chest and he had his arms wrapped around my torso. I could feel my face go red and i turned my head downward to bury my face, which woke Childe up.

"Oh.. good morning comrade" Childe said before yawning. "Sleep well?" He snickered. He clearly knew about this..

"Y-yeah.." i mumbled into his shirt.

"What's that comrade?" You could practically hear the smirk on his face.

"I said yes!" I turned my head to the side so he could hear me.

"Thats good, glad i was a decent pillow for you" he laughed.

"Sh-shut up.." i mumbled as i looked up at him.

"Aw, youre all red, mouchie" he teased.

"No I'm not! And dont call me that.." i looked away from him.

"Call you what, mouchie?" He chuckled.

"That!"

"I didnt call you 'that', mouchie." He snickered.

"Ugh.. dont call me.." i trailed off.

"Call you what, mouchie?"

"Dont call me 'mouchie'!" i said.

"Aw.. but your reaction to it is cute.." he fake pouted.

"And dont call me cute either!" I tried to get up, but he wouldn't let me.

"Leaving so soon?" He laughed.

"Yeah, so let go" i said, slightly irritated.

"Hmm.. maybe.."

"Maybe? What do you mean 'maybe'?" I asked.

"Maybe ill let you go, maybe i wont" he shrugged his shoulders.

"Ugh.. will you pleeeaase just let me go?" I looked him in the eyes.

"I guess.." he let go, and i sat up.

"Thank you.." i mumbled. "So what are we doing out here anyway?" I asked looking around.

"Oh, well i figured Dottore was going to look for us, so mondstadt would probably be the safest place to go" he sat up as well. "But i figured we should go to liyue and get supplies before we head out, its not too far from here"

"I slept that long..?" I muttered.

"Yeah, dont worry about it though, youre extremely light, so it wasn't that big of an issue. Plus, i got to wear your hat" he said with a prideful smile on his face.

"You what?!" I asked surprised. "Hang on, i gotta see this" i grabbed my hat off the ground and put it on his head. "You look silly" i laughed.

"Well so do you when you wear it" he snickered.

"Hey!"

"What? It's true" he put that hat on my head. "It suits you though" he gave a lighthearted smile. My face went red again and he started laughing as i struggled to cover my face. "Aw, dont be embarrassed" he chuckled.

"I-I'm not.." i muttered. I stood up and began to walk down the path.

"Hey! Wait up!" Childe yelled as he scrambled to grab his things.

I began to run towards the city. "Catch me if you can idiot!" I yelled back at him as i sprinted to the city in the far distance.

"Im faster than you, you know!" I heard Childe call from the distance.
