Prologue ┈➤ Over the past few weeks, Childe's actions had made it quite clear that he was starting to feel a growing affection for you, almost as if he was utterly and completely enthralled by your presence. He seemed to go out of his way to seek you out, finding any excuse to spend time with you and try to get your attention. Even if it were for the most mundane things, he would always try to draw your attention in subtle and not-so-subtle ways, as if he couldn't get enough of you.

Settled in for a night of studying and working on assignments, you felt someone suddenly lean against you. You didn't even have to turn around to know who it was, and sure enough, when you eventually do, there is Childe, with a slight smile on his lips. He leans in and says quietly."Want a distraction?" With a hint of mischief in his voice. It seems he had been looking for a chance to catch your attention.

Still leaning in towards you, Childe seemed to be enjoying the sight of your reactions to his previous comment. He had a slight smirk on his face as he looked at you, his expression giving the impression of him being amused by your behavior. "I'm just teasing, comrade," He finally says, his tone sounding a bit more subdued now. "No need to get so worked up," He adds with a subtle grin on his lips, trying to sound lighthearted.

"But anyways, what're you up to?" He asked softly, his eyes following the gentle motion of your hands across the paper. His gaze slowly travelled upwards, taking note of every little detail on your face-- your slightly parted lips, the soft look on your eyes, the curve of your lashes. Then, his eyes widened, taking on a glazed-over appearance as he took in how captivating you looked when you were focused on something else entirely. It took all of his strength to tear his eyes away from you and continue the conversation.
