Footsteps In The Snowdrift. || Arlecchino x Fem!Reader.

sweet knave's sickly kiss.

"Oh my sweet, don't do something so idiotic ever again. Outside is barren, nothingness, just snow and ice. You know, due to the water levels the water in Fontaine tends to be colder than in most nations." Arlecchino sighed softly, a bit of hold vapor escaping her thin lips. Y/N could only stare and give soft nods. She was conflicted between the good and evil of redemption. On the good side, a possible terrorist could be wiped out from Teyvat. On the bad side, every one of these kids would be abandoned, she was sure they didn't want that. Surely there was another way to go about this. She didn't know what to do, how to feel, or where to run to. She couldn't attempt to leave this all behind because the entire nation of Teyvat would be our for her, Fatui agents were lurking everywhere, there was no escaping there even in Inazuma. A lot of them do undercover capers and she was a part of some of them.
She sighed, thinking long and hard about if Arlecchino was worth redemption. Suddenly she was snapped out of her thoughts by Arlecchino's hand waving in front of her face. She shook off the remaining thoughts and turned to her.

"Hey you okay sweetness?" She placed a hand on her shoulder and caressed it. She leaned a bit closer, feeling the hot soft breath of Arlecchino brush against her neck. She chilled, the sudden temperature change catching her off guard, however, it was very much welcomed. Arlecchino got on top of her, taking her hands, slapping them gently on Y/N's face. She rubbed her cheeks, warming them. Confused, Y/N sat there now even more confused. "I'm fine, Arle." Y/N chuckled, smiling softly, "You seemed frozen, I decided to unfreeze you." Arlecchino stared daggers into Y/N soft watercolor eyes. Y/N quickly looked away but was guided back to Arlecchino's cold glare.

"Look at me, I've told you this. You never look away from me, especially with those gorgeous eyes." Arlecchino caressed her cheeks before leaning down to kiss her. Y/N sat there, speechless, Arlecchino was inches away from contact and she couldn't help but long for the touch of her soft lips.
"I don't care anymore."
Y/N got close and finally kissed her passionately. Arlecchino closed her eyes, her eyes smiling for her when she couldn't. They pulled away and stared at each other, huffing softly. "That was nice dear." Arlecchino faced Y/N running her fingers through her hair. Her gaze softened and finally, she was more passive. Y/N successfully had her walls broken down but at what costs? Y/N immediately stood up, wobbly from the lack of physical activity but started walking to the door.

"Where are you going?" Arlecchino came to her side, taking her arm gently guiding her outside of her room. "Just back to my room." Y/N couldn't stand to look at her again, she felt like she betrayed her ancestors, her cousins, her parents. This monster, she didn't deserve her love, so why was she finding herself falling harder and harder each coming day? Her muscular physique, her gentle cold eyes, her sweet voice. It was all so perfect, however, she needed to remember that this was beyond her.
This was about revenge, revenge for her family that was brutally slaughtered in the war. She recalled how horrible The Fatui treated her quaint little village. They plundered their resources, drove them out of their homes, denied any help to the civilians living in it.

Then, in the back of her mind, she heard her sister's cries.
"SISSY!!!"
