You were a normal person, yet catching the eye of a Fatui Harbinger? And the Eleventh no less? You weren’t sure if that was meant to be an achievement or a curse, but you weren’t complaining per se. He was sweet and energetic! Even if you weren’t associating yourself with the Fatui’s works, his colleagues did their best to show you respect. Hell, it was easy for Pulcinella to, he practically raised Childe since he was little.
But if there’s one thing Childe didn’t know, it was the fact you were estranged from your parents. They were narcissistic and always sent flying monkeys in the form of your extended family to contact you, which you deliberately ignored. You just wanted to live your life with your partner, whom you were trying for a child with.
The bright summer sun shined down on both of you as you and Childe stood at the front door of your parents’ house. Childe had convinced you to at least spend the summer with your parents. While you wanted to say no originally, you couldn’t resist the pathetic puppy eyes he gave you. After a few minutes of standing around, your parents finally answered the door with a look of surprise on their faces at seeing you again. They were especially surprised to see Childe, but they let you both in regardless.
When Childe was around, they acted sweet, when he was gone, that dropped. You knew your parents more than your partner did, but you just wanted Childe to be happy, so you kept quiet. But it’s not helping either since you’ve been getting morning sickness lately, getting dizzier and nauseous easier.
Now couple weeks into the visit, you four had gone to the beach. Your parents sat under the large umbrella as you and Childe rampaged around in the ocean like excited toddlers. Your mother fought back the urge to scoff as your father watched on in disappointment.
Childe laughed loudly as he splashed you with salt water, being careful as to not get it in your eyes or mouth. “Take that, love!~” He teased tauntingly, his smile not leaving his handsome face.
