Childe x reader random stories

A drive between friends 🫶🏻

I was at work, helping a particularly difficult customer when I got a text. After the lady finally left I checked it.

"Hey, Wryd today?"

I smiled. The text came from my favorite person, Childe.

"Work :("

"Oh, I was gonna ask if you wanted to go somewhere today"

I sighed. Then went to my boss and told her I had to go home early due to a stomachache. Because no matter what, I always want to hang out with my friend, even though I shouldn't skip work for it. Ignoring my inner battle, I texted Childe back.

"Boss sent me home early, it's slow today; where did you wanna go?"

I hope I wasn't being obvious about the fact I skipped work just for him. I didn't want him to think I was silly, though I was.

"We should go get coffee first, then you just decide I'm down for wtvr"

I got in my car and smiled stupidly down at my phone. I hadn't seen him in a while with work and everything going on, so I was extremely excited to see him again. I started driving to his apartment. When I got there, I sent him a text that I was outside. A minute later he came out the door. In a daze, I kind of stumbled out of my car. Damn it he looked so... amazing. Though he was just wearing his normal attire of a hoodie and jeans, I could never get tired of seeing him. His hair reflecting the sun and his bright blue eyes lighting up when he saw me. I ran up to him and hugged him, ignoring the butterflies I seem to always get around him.

"Y/n, I'm so happy to see you again." He nestled his chin in my hair. Ignoring my now racing heart, I looked up to smile at him. "I haven't seen you in ages." My gaze settled on his eyes, with a gentle, caring look he saved for me. He chuckled slightly. Blushing, I looked away, extremely embarrassed upon realizing just how long I'd been staring at him. I tried to laugh it off. "Ready to go, Childe?" I asked. "Of course." We got in the car, and I put it in gear. I rolled the windows down and turned the radio to one of our favorite songs. He nodded his head and sung quietly to it, while looking out the window. I smiled to myself. His singing voice was very pretty. I started singing along as well, until we started a duet, singing at the top of our lungs.

I looked over at him for a moment, stupidly taking my eyes off the road. His hair getting messed up from the wind, getting super into the song now. I kept singing, but with a slight smile as I admired him. He turned away from the window, and looked directly at me. I turned quickly back to the road, gripping the wheel as I kept singing like nothing happened. Out of the side of my eye I saw his mouth upturn.

When we finally got to the coffee place, I parked and was about to turn off the engine when he lightly touched my shoulder. "Hang on, y/n."

"Oh ok." I yawned and unbuckled. He unbuckled too, but turned to me. I turned to look at him. He stared at me with a blank look on his face and I started laughing. "Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked, still laughing. "How are you so beautiful, y/n?" He asked, with a slight smile. My eyes going wide I blushed and stopped laughing. I looked away and covered my mouth. How long had I wanted to hear those words? Childe smiled and cupped my cheek, turning my head to his. My head lit up with fireworks, so much I was in a daze. What was even happening at this point? Before I knew it we were kissing, our mouths moving like we were made for each other. Gosh, he was such a good kisser. I never wanted it to end. Well, when we finally pulled away, gazing into each other's eyes, I looked at the time and realized it had lasted almost ten minutes.

Sorry it ended so weird lmao I didn't know how to end it; I have not posted an actual part of this story since October, that's crazy. I ran out of ideas for the longest time, then life hit hard and I got into so many situations it seemed like there was no way out for a longgg time. But for the first time, this week has been going great. And to be honest, life itself seems brighter. Sorry for not posting in forever though, I hope all of you are doing well and found other stuff to read xD
