"C'mon, koshka~" Childe cooed as he leaned over the bar to catch the witch's gaze.

"I said no." (Y/n) grumbled as she shook the contents in the shaker for the third drink he ordered.

"Why not?" The ginger placed his chin on the palm of his hand as he watched the bartender work.

"Why would I go with you to a ball? I don't know anyone there and I have no motivation to socialize with a bunch of strangers." She tsked as she popped the lid open to the shaker to pour the liquid into a glass. "I didn't even know people throw balls in Hell." She muttered under her breath.

It was loud enough for him to hear, "You're not a little bit curious?" His blue eyes watched her hands move.

"Well... I guess I'm kind of interested to see what a ball in Hell looks like, but other than that I don't really care." She shrugged and plopped a lime on the rim of the glass before sliding it over to the man before her.

Childe's fingers wrapped around the base of the glass and brought it to his lips, keeping his eyes on her as he took a sip. Dull blue clashed with (e/c) as they stared at each other. He licked his lips before sending her a lazy grin, "Tastes good."

(Y/n) rolled her eyes, "Of course it does. Have to keep up the reputation of the bar and the boss you know." She grinned as she placed her hand on her chest, fingers brushing against the red fabric of her blouse.

Greed's eyes followed her hand and stared at her bosom before the object of his attention snapped her fingers in his face, a scowl present on her lips.

"Pervert." The woman grumbled before turning her attention back to cleaning up the bar.

"Only for you, koshka~" He smirked and lifted his drink up in the air.

"I don't think that's a good thing." She sighed.

"It definitely is not." A sultry voice mused.

Childe glanced at Kaeya from his peripheral as the navy haired demon took a seat next to him.

"Dandelion wine?"
"Dandelion wine, please."

The Avatar of Lust chuckled when they spoke at the same time, "Oh my~ She remembered my preferred drink."

"You get it every time." (Y/n) sighed exasperatedly as she turned on her heel to get the bottle.

"I've heard Itto caused quite the ruckus here a few days ago." A periwinkle eye watched her move around.

"Mhmm. It was a bit excessive but I'm glad to know he has my back." The bartender bent down to get a bottle from the back of the shelf, completely unaware of the pair of blue eyes that stared at her derrière.

Kaeya elbowed Childe in the gut which caused the ginger to choke on his drink.

(Y/n) glanced at them over her shoulder, "You good?"

"J—Just peachy." Greed coughed into his fist while Kaeya had his usual inscrutable smile on his lips.

She shrugged and grabbed the bottle.

"There's a ball taking place the day after tomorrow. Has anyone offered to take you?" Lust spoke up after his fellow demon stopped hacking the liquid from his lungs.

"I already did. She's taken already." Childe ignored the glare (Y/n) shot him.

"I'm not going."

"Is that so? Devil's Share was booked to serve drinks there." The one eyed demon held back a sly grin when he saw the bartender's eyes widen into saucers.
