I never meant to hurt you though- Childe x Gn! reader

T/w- Selfharm, mentioned not described

"Hey Hun, do you remember if we have more flour? I can't find any." Childe knocked on the bathroom door.

You quickly shot up like a deer in headlight, if he found out what you were doing... "I..I um just a sec."

Childe became suspicious of what you were doing in there, you had been in there for a while and he had just been busy making a cake for your birthday. Lately you had seemed a little stress with work and everything else that was going on. You never seemed to want his help though. You opened the door coming out in a too big hoodie that was most likely his.

Childe stared at you, it was the middle of summer. Why were you wearing a hoodie? He asked about it and the quickest lie you could think of was its cold.

"Maybe you're catching a cold? It's pretty warm right now."

You only shook your head not wanting to speak in case your voice cracked. You knew it was obvious what you were doing, he just seemed to be slightly oblivious.

"Sweetie? Can you take off the hoodie? I want to check your temperature. To make sure you're not coming down with something."

You quickly tried to think of an excuse. But what could you do? He was just trying to look out for you, but you couldn't take the hoodie off not after...

"Y/n please, i just want to check your temperature. It'll just be easier."

But you couldn't take it off, he would see what happened and then... Then what would he do? Would he get angry, would he say you're an attention seeker? Would he be nasty about it?

"It's fine can't you just do it with the hoodie on?"

"Its a lot easier without it trust me, i've taken care of Teucer enough times to know."

At this point he had backed you into a corner. What were you to do? All you could really do was take off the hoodie... So you did.

You prayed to the Archon he didn't see the cut, they were in pretty obvious places. "Hey what are these cuts?" It took him a second before he realised. "Oh..."

You could see the hurt in his eyes, like he'd failed you. Like he hadn't protected you, it was his job after all. And he failed, well he felt like he did anyway. You looked away almost like you were shy, but you were scared... Tears threaten to fall from your eyes, but you tried to hold them back so you didn't make it worse.

"Hey hey, Y/n don't cry." His voice was sweet like honey. "Its okay..."

It didn't sound okay. You had promised not to do it again, but here you were. You had promised and you thought it was the one thing you could do. But alas not. You did the exact opposite and cried, he wasn't sure what to do in the situation. All he felt he could so was cuddle you and tell you how much you mattered to him.

"Y/n I love you so much, don't forget that. Never ever forget that. Its okay that you did it again, we can work on not doing it again. I need you to talk to me when you feel like doing that." You could see the pain in his eyes. "It hurts you, I don't like seeing you hurt my love.
