You only ever saw Childe from a distance. Even if he sat behind you, you couldn't be further away from a person that you wanted so badly to get to know.

You heard through your connections that he was nice. Apparently he was a bit of a nerd but also played sports, but that is all that you were able to find out about him.

One day, you finally grew the balls to add him on something to try and make some sort of connection, and to your surprise, he actually accepted.

When you found out you were really excited, but after a while your excitement faded because you realised that the step forward wasn't actually as big as you thought.

So after building up even more courage, you grabbed your phone, sat down into bed, opened a DM with him, and started a chat.
