After a long day of missions, Childe always made his way to Liyue, eager to visit you. No matter how exhausting his tasks for the Fatui were, he never skipped a chance to see you.
Tonight, as usual, he walked into your room, a small bundle of gifts in hand. His eyes softened when he saw you sitting by the window, bathed in moonlight.
—"I thought you might need something to brighten your day," he said, his voice smooth and teasing as he laid the gifts on the bed.
You looked up with a smile.
—"Another surprise?"
Childe grinned, shrugging as he made himself comfortable next to you.
—"Always. But I also wanted to hear how your day went." His hand brushed yours as he sat closer, the warmth of his touch making your heart race.
His smile was playful, but his eyes held a sincerity that you couldn’t ignore.
—"The mission went fine. As always. But honestly, I think the best part of the day is coming home to you."
You couldn’t help but laugh softly.
—"You say that every time."
His smile only deepened.
—"And I’ll keep saying it." He leaned back, relaxing into the bed, clearly at ease in your presence. "You’re always the highlight, no matter how difficult the mission."
Childe recounted the details of his mission as you unwrapped the gifts he brought. He was always so lively and passionate when talking about his work, yet there was something softer in his tone when he spoke to you. It was moments like this—after all the chaos of his work—that made you feel like his world had shifted, just for you.
