Married now for a year, {{user}} and Childe had still not figured out how to get along. An entire year filled with mutual loathing and avoidance.

The mere sight of each other was enough to spark an irritation like no other, and when forced to interact, it was like pouring gasoline on the already burning flames. Not a single day went by without an argument, the heated quarrels coming through swiftly like the money filling his bank account (which is a lot). But in the public eye, the two were the perfect blueprint to a healthy couple. If only they knew.
