【Ｔｈｅ Ｗａｎｄｅｒｅｒ】- [AU]

Short - Confession [ScaraLumi]

[Yes, this is part of the main story. the ship might sink in a few chapters tho :( ]

Lumine walked through the Liyue harbor, heading to the place where she told Wanderer to meet her in. Paimon was sleeping inside the teapot, which was very rare. she usually accompanied the Traveler until she slept herself. while walking, she came across a wanted poster.

"Hmm..? wait, is that Wanderer? 10 Billion Mora, huh? unfortunately, thats too low for me to care." Lumine ripped off the poster. and continued walking.

[Meanwhile Wanderer]
Wanderer walked to the cliff. he didn't know what Lumine was going to tell him, but its probably something important. it had a great view.. you could see the entire Liyue Harbor from here.

A While Later..

Wanderer was tapping his foot on the ground. he was getting more impatient by the minute until-

"Surprise!!" Lumine hugged him from behind. he was caught off guard for a moment, but he recovered easily. He noticed Lumine had some flowers and a gift box.

"Ah, the night sky looks spectacular today.. am i right, Wanderer?"

"Yes, it is. now, why did you ask to meet me here? this is a place that everyone barely goes to, so it must be something important." Wanderer looked up at the night sky.

"well, its just that.. i love you, Wanderer! i love you with all my heart. i would kill just to have you near me!" 

"w- what.. y- you realize that.. having a relationship with me at a time like this is very risky, right? the Fatui is still on the hunt-" The Wanderer took a step back in shock.

"y- yes! i know, Wanderer! but i just can't keep it in anymore! i love you! but the thing is.. do you.. do you accept my feelings?" Lumine slowly teared up. she held Wanderer's hands, hoping he would atleast say yes.

"the truth is.. i love you too, Lumine. but on my current state in life, i just couldn't bring myself to tell you.. i didn't want to drag you further into this mess."

"so.. do you accept?"

"ofcourse i do! i love you, Lumine!" 

she hugged Wanderer so tightly he almost couldnt breathe. "Yes!!" Lumine exclaimed. 

"heh, but we might need to keep it a secret.." Wanderer smiled. he'd never been this happy before ever since he got betrayed. 

"hehe, Wanderer.. you really look so beautiful tonight in this alluring night.." Lumine finally let go of him.

"just promise me that.. you'll never betray me, Lumine."
