Rai.

I am a very big Chiluc shipper

So if there are any Childe muns who wish to build chem

I offer this man to you.

" You just like to annoy the crap out of me these days." There may have been a hint of a smile on his face.

" Little brothers are such a handful."

" I was actually really excited when he brought you home. Told me I needed to look out for you , but it was fine. I was happy at the time."

" I remember that as well. . ."

He sighed as he stopped in front of a grave , shaking his head slightly.

" Father didn't care though. He took you in without hesitation and I didn't want to let anyone pick on you."

" Kids can be rude sometime. They always want to tug on longer hair." He shook his head slightly.

It felt odd looking back on the past like this.

" Back then I didn't want anyone to be mean to you. Plain and simple." He kept his gaze in the opposite direction.

" Well he never did it ahain that I can recall so yeah , I suppose it was worth it."

" Did I do that?" He asked , doing his best to brush it off.

Though he knew it was true and he remembered it. He had always looked out for Kaeya when they were younger.

" I recall getting scolded afterwards too."

" No. I'm surprised you came with me. I'm sure you've come here on your own time."

Diluc hadn't visited in some time either. He had been far too busy with other pressing matters but. . .

It was probably time.

" Im still surprised you decided to tag along." He finally spoke as they arrived at the cemetery.

" If you insist-"

He hadn't expected Kaeya to chance his plans so quickly.

" Come on then. . ." He said as he started to walk.

He was going to shoot back a smart comment , but instead he chose silence for a moment.

" . . .If you want. It's getting close to. . ."

His sentence trailed off. He would rather not think about it.

" Didn't you have other plans with that wine?"

" Yeah if I ever change my mind I'll ask you of all people to set me up."

So much sarcasm.

" But if you must know , I'm actually going to visit father."

" I don't want a partner , Kaeya. I'm fine by myself."

" As I said before. I can only trust about half of what you say. If that."

His eyes rolled once more.

" I am staying single."

" You tend to overstate sometimes. Not often , but sometimes."

He then lifted a brow at that accusation and scoffed.

" I don't have time for dating."

" Yeah I don't believe that one bit." Crimson eyes roll a bit before he sighed.

" if that's all , then I have somewhere to go."

" A special occasion , huh?" He asked as he pulled out the bottle of wine , handing it over with a sigh.

" I won't ask. Here you go."

" Don't expect this all the time." He huffed softly.

" And don't give any to Venti either."

" Learn to be funny." He replied before motioning for the other to follow him.

" Come on. I'll get you the bottle."

" Captain Kaeya. You behave like such a child sometimes. You know that , right?"

" Yes , but believe it or not I actually give you a discount."

He's rolling his eyes slightly and huffing a bit.

" For certain occasions , that's why. And I'm not mean. If I were mean I wouldn't let you in the tavern at all."

" Absolutely not. Especially not from my good stash."

" I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about!"

He's huffing softly and turning to walk away.

" No I don't ! And don't bring my feelings into this."

" You're pushing it , you know."

" Give me one good reason to spare you a bottle."

" Even so. You know that stuff isn't necessarily for sale."
