THE ebony dark night sky stared down upon (name)'s figure. the dazzling stars twinkled brightly, contrasting the dull colour of its surroundings - enunciating their beauty furthermore.
the moon — like a silver celestial sphere in the vast, endless sky — blanketed the ground it gazed upon with its natural source of light albeit the intensity of the light was rather dim.
(name) was sprawled out on the lush emerald green grass. lips parted in awe at the marvelous sight infront of her.
it wasn't everyday that she travelled to the land of eternity, otherwise known as inazuma, for a mission hence she decided to make good use of her time.
the tranquil atmosphere, the serene view of nightfall and the sound of birds chirping all gave her the perfect environment to unwind.
"(name). it's late. let's go."
at the voice of her fellow colleague, (name) jolted in surprise at the interruption of her "alone" time.
she shifted her gaze to the indigo-haired male that in exchange - stared blankly at her immobile figure lying on the grass.
"balladeer, did i not make myself clear? you need not wait for me." (name) sighed loudly, disapproval laced in her voice before she stood up and dusted soil off her articles.
after which she then turned to her left where the owner of the voice stood.
a scowl made its way onto his lips, readying himself to criticise the person who dared talk back to him. however, he made an effort to press his lips into a thin line remembering that he wasn't in a position to be able to disrespect the cryo archon's daughter.
that would just be a foolish move.
hence he decided to simplify what he was going to say and cushion the blow a little.
"why are you so difficult. i'm not doing this for you brat. if something were to happen to you - her majesty's daughter - i would be the one facing her wrath. smart ass."
a light-hearted laugh erupted from the female's lips. she made an effort to cup her mouth in an attempt to stop her fit of giggles but it was rather futile.
confusion and the feeling of warmth brewed within the indigo-haired puppet.
a foreign feeling the puppet couldn't pinpoint, sparked much interest in him.
the new-found warmth left a bittersweet taste on his lips. it was almost.. nauseating.
why he suddenly felt this way so abruptly left him deep in thought.
however, even after racking his brains for answers, none came to mind. to make things worse, he was left with a myriad of unanswered questions.
he could feel his cheeks heating up upon gazing at the female's closed-eye smile and hearing her melodic laugh.
the way he felt his vision shift subconsciously to how the fatui's uniform garments wrapped around her figure.
not to mention, her soft addictive smile and the way the corner of her eyes would crease with every smile thrown his way.
the balladeer tried to come up with something to say but he found himself unable to do so. it felt like his ability to speak was stripped from him.
so.. he composed himself. he would deal with this unknown feelings later and figure out what was wrong with himself.
"what are you laughing at, woman." he sputtered, eyes landing everywhere but (name).
however, all she did was give him a close-eyed smile and placed her fatui mask back onto her face.
the balladeer didn't know why he felt disappointed that her features were once again hidden by that mask.
one thing the balldeer did know was how the mask resembled her facade.
even though she was right infront of him, it was as if she was indescribably distant.
"you're not scary, scaramouche. instead, you look like an angry chihuahua."
an irk mark appeared on the puppet's head.
"then just wait and see what this angry chihuahua would do to you." a small electricity spark left the palm of his hands as he chuckled. instilling fear into (name) as she caught sight of his vision glowing.
"welp, that's my cue to leave. have a nice night balladeer."
with that, she scurried away like a wild cat. her figure slowly becoming one with the nightsky — gradually dissipating from his sight.
"tch. stupid woman."
however, he truly could not fathom the evident smile etching at the corners of his lips. with a scoff of disbelief, he gazed longingly at the empty space where (name) previously stood.
"(name), you really are something else."

authors note: to get straight to the point, exams have been really stressful lately hence smitten will most likely be discontinued until my finals are over or updates will be slower than before. it will probably be the latter though! simply because i find joy in writing.
