"Don't let go," Diluc murmured wearily, his grip around your waist tightening as he buried his face into your neck, inhaling your sweet scent and sighing with contentment. You were held securely in his arms, your chin resting gently on his head, and your arms wrapped around his neck.

The past few days had been overwhelming for him, especially with the added stress of dealing with his adopted brother, Kaeya, the cavalry captain of the Knights. Recently, Diluc had become unusually clingy and needy, craving your attention more than ever. Naturally, you loved him deeply and were willing to do anything for him.

But this morning, it seemed he had no intention of letting you go anytime soon, even if it meant being late for work.
