Scara could hardly believe his ears when he and Childe were suddenly assigned another Harbinger mission together. It wasn't as if he minded working with Childe - it usually went well, although he wouldn't admit it. But this mission was different. They had to sneak into a party, but there was one big catch: in order not to attract attention, they had to pretend to be a couple...

They stood in front of the building where the celebration would take place, wearing suits so as not to cause a stir.

Scara wished he could back out at that moment and was already beginning to curse the whole mission when Childe suddenly grabbed his hand. It felt strange, his warm hand in his cold one, but somehow also...right?

"What the hell are you-" ,Scara stared down at their intertwined fingers.

"Holding your hand. Or do you want to stand out immediately?" ,Childe muttered with a sigh.
