|| "Reminiscing" ||

"Yn, Im glad you kept Eclipse"

The red hair said his eyes glued to yours, smiling like there wasn't a time spent away from each other. "DILUC!!" You ran towards him, your wrapping on his neck.

"YOU- YOU... how are you able to smile at me like that?"

you wanted to punch him, kick him, anything just to make him angry. He Chuckles "Then how am I supposed to greet an old friend?" His question filled with the intent to tease as you slowly backed away from him, removing your arm around his.

"And how can I not smile at you when you are still a crybaby?" He doubles down, you look at him trying to contain your tears. Memories flood your head leaving an irresistible nostalgic feeling with him, his warm smile never fails to bring you comfort.

"You're not angry..?"

"Of course not, you decided what best choice to make at the moment" his answer struck an immense guilt inside of you. A guilt that was stored at the back of your heart for years. "Im sorry..." you said looking down as you slowly took eclipse off his arms to yours purring herself away in the process.

Diluc let out a sigh of disbelief, his hand patting your head as the past slowly crept into your mind, with every memory baring its teeth in front of you, ready to sink its teeth into your skin.

"I told you, didn't I? I would rather let you cut me off than put you in further danger"

When did it all start?
.

.

.

Age 2?. . .

no, I was definitely 3.

I met diluc at a very early age, we were basically inseparable back then and our parents knew that. His dad found our whole friendship cute while my mother... she saw a business deal, a way to sell her stupid daughter that she always longed to be a son.

But I was too young to understand, too naive to notice. I would always wonder why my very strict mother was always too happy to let me play with him despite the fact that she had always wanted me to be laser-focused on my studies even if we were only learning A B C D's.

Nonetheless, my child's brain was only focusing on the fact that I have the ability to play with other children even if it means it was only with one child, diluc.

Both of you watched each other grow. By age 10 I met kaeya, I watched in the front row seat how those two fought each other, throwing fists, toys, and chairs then acting like it never happened. The three of you grew accustomed to each other but one thing led to another and you forced yourself to cut diluc off your life.

I didn't want him to be stirred along with your family problems, I didn't want to cause problems to him and his family when they have done so much for me.

Supporting when I first left my home, finding my other relatives, etc. I didn't want to carry the guilt of biting the hand that helped me on my most pathetic days. I didn't want to be the cause of their problems expecting when Uncle Crepus was getting sick.
