Yeet! Wait- (Genshin impact x modern!reader)

Oh no they're hawt

When you headed back to the group you were lucky enough that Childe had just given Aether the bag of mora and disappeared from sight. You were not looking forward to your next interaction with the harbinger after the last one ended with you throwing yourself out a window.

You had also forgotten how much interesting stuff happened in the Liyue arc because, well, it was uninteresting. You were mostly dragging your feet behind the group when hiring the help of Tic, Tac and Toe. The whole time you were trying not to laugh, they were unfortunate names and none of them were related!

You made your way back to the funeral area after everything was done. Your face paled at the sight of Childe. Well shit, you hadn't realised he appeared again here.

"Childe! We have the leftover mora!" Paimon's voice fills you with more dread and you glare at her out of the corner of your eye. Always poorly timed Paimon, why'd you have to get his attention.

"Already? Splendid." He smiles as he turns, what made you feel worse was the fact that even after making eye contact he continued like you hadn't defenestrated yourself to avoid him. "Any cash left over is yours to keep. A favour to the fatui should never go unrewarded."

"You think you can buy us off with some loose change? No way! Paimon demands to know when the next payment is coming!" Paimon stomps her foot in the air and both you and Aether sigh at her frustration.

"Haha. Well, how does this sound: You give me the information I need, and maybe I'll leave the Northland Bank's vaults open and unattended for half an hour..." Childe trails off, as if he wasn't casually betraying the fatui.

"Surely you wouldn't do Pantalone dirty like that? Smh, we hate to see it." You laugh, completely ignoring the look Paimon and Childe send you. Aether just continued to look at Childe as if you hadn't said anything, completely used to your bullshit at this point, however he had learned to just accept it unlike Paimon.

"How do you know-"

"What info do you need!" Paimon yells, finally realising what Childe offered.

"No!" Aether grabs Paimon by the back of her collar and pulls her back towards him.

"Huh? Does that mean you know what he's after?" Paimon asks, staring at Aether while he continues to hold her by her collar.

"Paimon, think back to Mondstadt, what else could the Fatui want?" Paimon turns her head when you speak up and she takes a second before her eyes widen in realisation.

"You're right, Signora..." Paimon's sadness was obvious in her voice at the realisation that she wouldn't be robbing a bank. Childe looked between the group of you, frowning slightly at the atmosphere change.

"You both need to calm down." Childe encourages, trying, and probably failing, to lift the mood. "I don't know what's gotten into you Traveler."

All three of you stare at Childe. Was he being serious about not understanding Aether's dislike of the Fatui? For once, Paimon remains quiet as the group of you continue to stare at Childe, who sweat drops.

"What's with the tense atmosphere, did I not just say to relax?"

"Press X for distrust."

"X."

"X."

Ah, you love Aether and Paimon. For some reason they like to play along with your anantics. Childe blinks in confusion at the blankness the three of you continue to give off as you stare at Childe.

"Okay so next we need some Everlasting Incense." Zhongli reappears with a list in his hand, as if even he had forgotten what else was needed for the Rite of Parting. His voice cut through the awkward atmosphere, completely unaware of the distrust being thrown around. "For this, we need to go to Bubu Pharmacy the finest pharmacy in all of–"
