Diluc is my soft cinnamon bun and he should know! (I used to main Diluc like a pro and hit 24k damage with him, no joke) but anyway, you don't want to see me rant, now do you? Enjoy reading this, my love!

"Aren't you going to leave?" You heard a voice above you. It was Master Diluc, he was standing by your table.

You were at Angel Share. And sure, despite the place being empty, you wanted to stay a bit.

"Huh? I mean, pardon?" You asked. He broke into your thoughts. "Oh! Sorry Master Diluc. I'm still here because I was lost in my thoughts and didn't really notice everyone leave. And your tavern is the only one that gives (f/f) juice." Diluc looked at you for a few seconds before putting his towel down and sitting next to you. "I know it's not my business to pry, but what's on your mind?" He asked. A softness lacing his voice. Making his words roll off his tongue easily.

You choked on your words, not knowing what was okay to say and what was over sharing. You took a deep breath and looked at your half empty glass of juice. "I- I don't even know why I come here." You mumbled to your reflection. "Is it for the people? They drown out my thoughts with their noise, but once they're gone it's dark. I feel.. so, so alone..." Diluc stared at you, an unknowing emotion in his eyes. What he feeling empathy? Or is it pity? Does he even care?

"I wish I never came here. It's an unhealthy habit, I tell myself. And yet..." Tears started forming in your eyes. You moved your glass away from your face just in case tears fell. Diluc sighed and looked at the table too. "I know I shouldn't be doing this, but..." He paused. An aching in his mind telling him to stop. "If it helps, you can stay here for as long as you like. To clear your head. If you want more (f/f) juice, there's some over at the bar." Diluc stood up and took his towel with him. He began wiping the tables clean of their dirt.

You still felt teary. Look at you. You looked pathetic. Not only that, but in front of such an attractive man like Master Diluc. Pathetic.

"And to not be mistaken, your name is (Y/N)?" Diluc asked from the other side of the tavern. You sniffled back tears and nodded, hoping he saw. You didn't want him to hear your trembling voice. "Okay. I just wanted to make small talk with you..." Diluc admitted silently. It was quiet then, before you let out a soft chuckle. "It's funny to see you so invested in someone you barely know." You said.

Diluc stopped what he was doing and looked at you from a far. He smiled softly. He made you smile... That was nice. "Well, it isn't every day that one of your customers stays late at your tavern because their upset, and better, not drunk." Diluc admitted loudly. "So what? Am I your break from the drunkards you always kick out?" You asked.

"You are much more relaxing than what I normally have to deal with. So yes, you're quite like my big break." Diluc replied. You felt flustered at the comment. Diluc finally processed what he said and blushed. "Uh, I mean, you are more easygoing..!" Now the air was awkward and filled with tension. "Cute..." You mumbled without thinking.

Oh no, what have you done to your poor heart? You're having a mini panic attack with all things you're saying...
