"She was fake anyways don't be sad you'll find someone much better," you comforted patting childe on the back. He was super weirded out by how nice you suddenly are.

"I'm not even sad? You're starting to creep me out," childe insisted he wasn't sad but you continued to comfort him knowing heartbreak.

"Me? Creep you out? No way," you waved your hand denying the situation. Childe looked over to xiao signaling for help but xiao just turned away pretending he didn't even know who he was.

"Okay whatever I'll stop but just text the groupchat if you wanna cry or sometning," you laughed. "I'M NOT GONNA CRY" he shouted back.

"huh? xiao," an unfamiliar girl called out softly with a smile. xiao turned to the recognized voice, "ganyu? what are you doing here?" he ran up to her.

xiao... why the fuck are you so popular with girls.

"qjqi's staying with me right now zhongli dropped her off earlier. she wanted some cocogoat so I'm here to grab some," she replied.

qiqi?

"um... if you don't mind me asking who are they?" ganyu hummed tilted her head to look past xiao where childe and you were at standing awkwardly.

"oh them... that's y/n and that's childe," xiao introduced and you both waved. you didn't know what to say but this ganyu person was absolutely stunning.

"I see... are you guys also coming in here?" she turned back to xiao. "yeah we are join us?" he offered and she nodded happily.

they were easily on good terms and you were glad xiao had someone to be close with but the male beside you named childe just had to ruin everything.

"well you got competition."

"I hope you cry yourself to sleep tonight."

you all went inside just looking around for some snacks. xiao and ganyu were catching up with each other since it's been a while for them.

you were walking with childe as you promised to buy him some snacks. "bro can you pick one? you're so picky," you bickered as childe looked closely at the snacks.

"that or this?" he stood up grabbing two snacks. "that one it's delicious," you pointed at the right one.

"okay!" he picked the left one.

asshole.

"y'know what nevermind you don't even deserve it," you took back your promise earning a scoff from childe. "did you forget I'm rich y/n?"

"I hope you get robbed."

what you didn't know was xiao was down the hall with ganyu staring intensely. "xiao? do you perhaps like y/n?" ganyu questioned recognizing you.

"of course not what kind of question is that?" xiao denied turning the other direction continuing to look at the other snacks.

even though your jacket is on her? ganyu quietly held back her laugh at the obvious lie.

"alright... um xiao?" ganyu called out having a plan but she didn't have the confidence to go through with it.

"speak what's on your mind," xiao basically read her. ganyu was a close person to xiao even if it didn't seem like it ganyu looked up to xiao in a way.

"would you like me to um... accompany childe somewhere else? It might help with y/n," she offered.

"if you will..." he couldn't reject that offer wanting to spend more time with you alone after all it was y'all's THING. totally.

ganyu nodded turning to where you guys were waiting for childe to look up and as soon as he did he made eye contact with her.

she signaled for childe to come here, "I'll be right back." childe informed you didn't know what he was doing but just shrugged it off continuing to shop.

"um... xiao and y/n," ganyu explained with only two words and it clicked for childe. he might act dumb but he really isn't dumb he's pretty clever at reading things.

"good luck! you guys should kiss," childe winked at xiao before walking away with ganyu. xiao's eye twitched not liking the way childe winked at him.

"xiao? where did ganyu and childe go?" you stood back up looking around but didn't spot the two. "they disappeared," he replied bluntly which concerned you.

until your phone received a notification from the one and only childe.

do a lil mwah mwah

with him okay?

if you ever need kissing

lessons I'm here

no wonder ur fucking single.

IM JUST TRYNA HELP 🤬

ITS NOT WORKING.

yeah

IT IS.

BC BY TONIGHT YOU GUYS WILL

KISS 🙃

"that little shit," you sighed out turning your phone off. xiao stared with the thoughts of 'am I not fun to be around?' 'oh.'

"do you want to go to the park again?" xiao had his hand on his neck which you were pretty much catching on to. whenever he rested his hand on his neck it meant he was shy, embarrassed, or flustered by whatever.

"only if we get milkshakes," you smiled jokingly. either way you were going to go since it was with xiao. who would pass an opportunity like this?

"sure," he softly smiled milkshakes wasn't a bad thing to have at the moment. he was craving sometning cold anyway.

when you two grabbed the milkshakes you just realized you still had his jacket on. you forgot it even was his jacket after wearing it for so long.

"oh shit I almost forgot do you want your jacket back?" you perked your head up turning to xiao who was looking straight ahead while sipping on his milkshake.

"It's fine..." he paused wanting to say something but wasn't sure if he could. "oh uh would you like me to give it to you later when we part or-"

"you can keep it."

what.

"I have a lot at home anyway you can have it," xiao added. "oh- thank you I'll wear it for sure," you smiled.

what the fuck was that you dumb bitch WHO SAYS THAT !? OF COURSE YOUR GONNA WEAR IT. ITS A JACKET.

you went silent not knowing what to say but turned the other way with a huge smile on your face. you wanted to believe the signs he was sending were true.

and so tonight, you were going to test your luck.

"It's always pretty isn't it?" You stared in awe as you walked around the empty park with the fountain and the beautiful view. This day was perfect for you not really for childe but for you it was amazing.

The weather was cool and the wind was calm but the cold breeze from time to time felt refreshing. you just walked around looking around while xiao sat down and watched you with a smile he didn't mean to have.

you really wanted to test your luck right now. all the words from the others talking about how you were special to him and that you were the only person he treated this way made you happy.

maybe it was the issues you had that caused you to feel like this. knowing you were important to someone or being special to someone made you blind.

the signs were there, you weren't imagining them. you caught him staring with a soft smile on and you just decided to do it anyway.

you approached him staring at the ground not sure if you wanted to do this but whatever.

"y/n?" xiao tilted his head confused at what you were doing when you suddenly brought your head up stopping directly in front of him.

you put both your hands behind his head and pushed him closer as you leaned in placing your lips on his.

once you pulled away your eyes widen realizing what you just did. you knew what you were doing when you took the first step but you didn't expect to actually do it.

"I'M SO SORRY–"

you were cut off when he had stood up all of a sudden crashing his lips back onto yours. he didn't kiss back last time making your heart almost fail on you.

but this time, he did.

"it's alright."
