Childe now sat on the counter, one leg over the other. The empty glass in his hand glistened between slender fingers, and one arm leaned on the dark wood of the counter supporting his weight. Despite ginger bangs slightly covering his face, I was sure those wild blues were fixated on me. A rush of strange warmth stirred in my chest. Was I having a heart attack, or was my heart just combusting from his gaze alone? Self-control. . . Self-control!! I stood still, lips struggling to stay pursed together and cheeks swelled slightly. I probs looked more constipated than nervous. "Pfft," he bit his lower lip, holding back clearly from laughing. " Lil miss am I making you uncomfortable? "

He gave me a teasing smirk before pinching my cheeks. " We can't have that ~ " he cooed, inching away after giving my cheeks one more stretch. " See you tomorrow boss ~"

Turning on his heel, he pulled Thoma out of the booth, despite the younger man barely being able to open his eyes. " You vague . . ." The blonde mumbled sleepily, lazily punching the tall fox boy in the chest, before being slung over Childe's shoulder like a sack of potatoes. " I can walk . . . Put me down ."

"Don't worry my lady I'll take good care of him, " the ginger assured me.

Smacking his colleague's ass, Childe made his way out, humming a cheery tune while Thoma grumbled incoherent words in his half-conscious state. "That's Childe for ya . . . " I chuckled awkwardly to myself, before taking one more look at the restaurant. "It's nearly time."

Just two weeks ago this place was filled with nothing more than a pile of dust and junk, but now everything was perfect. Sure it took a bite from the money I had at hand, but all turned out well. With a chief, servers, and a manager, I'll finally open it . . . Okay aside from finding more staff for the kitchen, but overall everything was fine. "Right oh god, I really should call Kaeya about that," scolding myself did not stop me from cursing under my breath for getting sidetracked from my top priority, getting this place to succeed with no slip-ups.

I pulled out the paper slip Childe had given me and made myself comfortable, waiting for the navy-haired man to reply to my call. Fingers fumbling with the small slip, my thumb traced over the small words written on the parchment.

Mond High School, Road 818, 3rd floor, Unlucky Dog.

"You're fucking irritating, " Childe cursed at the blonde, whose body sprawled in the bathtub of the red head's house with his body bare, hands tied, blindfolded, and dick hard from the bone-chilling cold water he had been tossed into upon arriving at the apartment. " Listen, lil miss is really . . . Too sweet and gentle, and your disgusting hands were on her that day. I didn't forgive you nor will I forget."
