!! second pov

Attempting to focus in class, you stare ahead lazily at your professor as he drones on and on. Your head sits in your hand, a quiet breath escaping. Rosalyne wasnt 'available' today, and you hadn't spoken to Arlecchino yet.. you'd dig yourself into quite the hole honestly.

Did you like Arlecchino?

...regrettably so.

Did you love Rosalyne?

...well—

Were you a bad person now? Oh god— your head falls into both of your hands with a rather loud sigh, pure annoyance and confusion filtering through in your head. You can't help but murmur softly about it all.

On one side you had Arlecchino...a very alluring woman..who's also a great kisser, comforts you and cares more about your well-being then your body.

And on the other side there's Rosalyne...who you've known for years, who's always been there for you, handled all your problems for you...and loves you.

But did she love you?

Christ, pull it together Y/n!

There were far too many thoughts in your head.

You needed to tell someone about them.

"And then she kisses me!"

Childe shares a look with Lisa, who raises her brows in surprise. "A kiss you say?" She looks back at you. "And did you like that kiss?"

"Oh it was heavenly," You profess, forcing your head into your hands. "She's literally perfect...and she was all 'I'd do anything for you' like fuck me holy shit—"

Childe grimaces. "Let's leave the sex out of it."

"We didn't fuck," You wave your hand, frowning softly. "Actually I made a big mistake."

"Oh," He sighs and shakes his head. "Tell me you didn't.."

"I left."

Lisa tuts, and Childe moves to groan into his hand. As if the ginger as better relationships than you any way. "Oh cutie," Lisa leans down on her hand. "And where did you go to?"

Your silence answers all, both staring in disbelief in front of you. "You're kidding," Childe shakes his head. "No. Tell me you're joking. You did not kiss Arlecchino and then immediately go to your girl!"

"That's the thing! I don't know if she really is my girl!" You raise your hand, listing off with your fingers. "She doesn't want me to call her my girlfriend, doesn't want me to mark her up, doesn't want me to speak to Arlecchino even though she claims she's not my girlfriend so there's no reason for her to be jealous. Says she loves me and then gets mad when I don't want to constantly fuck her—"

Lisa shakes her head. "Get out of that relationship."

"Like now," Childe mirrors. "I had no idea that's what she was like— tell me you realize how incredibly toxic that is."

You frown. "But she loves me.."

"I bet she tells that to all the girls she fucks with," Lisa sharply jabs Childe in his side, shaking her head. "Sorry.."

"Oh come on," You mumble, shaking your head. "Rosie's not..she's not with anyone else."

Lisa sighs, you frown deeper. "Y/n, no," She shakes her head. "We...aren't saying she is. But still, she's an extremely toxic partner. You don't deserve that."
