Tell your friends you're out for a run 

T/w- Slight angst, a little fluffy, secret relationship 

Summary- Neuvillette and Wriotheslye have been trying to keep their relationship a secret, what happens when that gets out? 

A/n- Requested by Weebo_2 on 

No one knew about the duke and the chief's relationship, and they'd like to keep it that way. It wasn't that it would be frowned upon but the two were unsure about how it would affect their current positions. Few Melusines knew about the relationship, and the traveller as well. No one outside of that little bubble would ever find out.

In Neuvillette's office, the two stood embracing each other. It was one of the rare days where Wriothesley would visit Neuvillette, and he treasured those. Wriothesley could feel Neuvillette's heartbeat against his hand, the chief in Wriothesley's eyes was the best thing to happen to him. After his childhood of misery, he finally found happiness.

Until a week later, photos all over the steambird appeared of the two's relationship. Taken by none other than the most famous reporter in Fontaine. Neuvillette had been so wrapped up in Wriothesley that he'd forgotten about the meeting he was supposed to have with Miss Charlotte. The two men were filled with so much anxiety it affected their jobs. How would people react now they were out? How would people view them? Would they still be looked up to as leaders or not?

A little while later, things still hadn't died down. It was all Fontaine, possibly all of Teyvat could talk about. Neuvillette and Wriothesley did try to deny these 'accusations' but it backfired as there was too much evidence. Rain began to pour down for the next week or so.

As darkness seeped through the sky, the black-haired man walked towards his boyfriend's place. Despite many reporters surrounding the house, he managed to sneak in unnoticed. He tracked trails of water and leaves through the house, he knew Neuvillette didn't mind but he still felt guilty. He placed his boots by the door and went to find Neuvillette. Walking through his house he felt empty, the Melusines were trying to control the crowd outside, and Neuvillette was most likely in his room.

"Neuvillette? Are you there?" No answer, so he tried again. "Neuvillette, love?"

The only noise that was made was random creeks here and there. Wriothesley went back to his search, he couldn't remember where Neuvillette's room was. It was quite a big house, just him and the Melusines, sometimes that could be quite lonely especially when few Melusines and just Neuvillette were here. Finally, Wriothesley found Neuvillette, he was curled up in a ball on the bed. His white hair spread out against his back, his robes were crinkled and his eyes were puffy and red.

"Neuvillette?"

His head shot up looking at his boyfriend.

"Wriothesley!" Neuvillette stood up very quickly and embraced Wriothesley tightly.

"Hey hey, you've been crying." Wriothesley softened his eyes. "Is it because of what the steam bird said?"

Wriothesley could feel his shoulder becoming wet with tears. Neuvillette couldn't say anything without his voice breaking, so he just nodded.

"Why don't we lay down?"

Neuvillette could only nod.

The men walked over to the bed and embraced each other once more. Neuvillette was curled into a ball yet again and Wriothesley had his arms around him. If someone walked in and had no idea of the circumstances they would think it was cute. They weren't going to leave each other despite everything that had happened, they loved each other. But people just didn't know how to mind their own business. It's then that people get hurt.
