Rising Flame || Diluc X Reader

Chapter 28

"So? How'd your love confession go?" Scara smirked and you rolled your eyes. 

"He's leaving tomorrow." 

"You rejected him?" 

"Neither side confessed Scara." 

"Really? I thought you liked him." 

"Well..."

"What is it?" 

"He wants me to go back with him." 

"What?!"

"Yeah. I said no of course. But I'm debating it."

"You're going to go back?" 

"I want to." 

"But not with him?"

"He's an important figure in Monstadt. He has a lot of political importance."

"So?" 

"So, if I, someone that's considered a criminal starts seeing him..."

"Things will get complicated."

"Exactly. You understand me really well."

"What're you going to do without me? I might as well come with you when you leave." He teased. 

"Yeah. Might as well." 

"Really?"

"Why not?" 

"Your crush probably thinks we're seeing each other you know... if his brother told him..."

"Oh. He didn't ask me though..."

"There's a chance he doesn't know." 

"Right." 

"Are you okay?"

"You're so concerned about me lately. You wouldn't have given a sh## if we were still coworkers."

"Maybe."

"Wow. Do you want to drink? I slept a lot so I'm not tired." 

"Why not? But if you get drunk again I swear-" 

"I'll try not to."

"Mhm."

A few drinks later...

you were drunk. 

verrrrry drunk. 

"Y/N. I thought you said you wouldn't get drunk." 

"Noooo~I said I'd tryyy~."

"You're very drunk." 

"Ammm i~?"

"You don't remember things that happen when you're drunk right?" 

"Mhmm~ Scaraaaa~ Do you reallly~ want to go to Monstadt with me?" 

"Y/N. Do you know why?" 

"No?"

"Because. I like you Y/N."

"I like you too Scara!" 

"No. I mean like really like you. Not as a friend. But I know... You love Diluc. So I won't say anything. I'll pretend. We'll just stay friends. Because... I like you that much." 

"Scaraaa" You drunkenly hugged him and he flushed 

"Y/N what-"

"You know... I don't love you~ But maybe... maybe I would in another life."
