Chapter 7 [On Or Off?]

Scaramouche

"You heard me."

Scaramouche took a step outside after unzipping the tent.

Childe

"Hey! It's raining!"

Scaramouche

"Yeah, I know!... It's just water, nothing bad will happen. It's not even pouring that badly. And, we don't have anything to eat so..."

You

*Sigh* "He never listens."

Childe

"Heh, tell me about it. Ow..."

You

"Don't move your mouth too much. The cut on your lip looks bad."

Childe

"Shit, does it?"

You

"Yeah. Looks badass though."

Childe

"Have you heard of the thing where people kiss other people's wounds to make them feel better?"

You

"Yeah. What about it?"

Childe laughed, you were completely clueless, and it was hilarious.

Childe

"You really don't get it?"

You

"... Oh. You want our lips to meet so your lip feels better, is that it?"

Childe

"Ding ding ding! You got it!"

You

"Childe, you're horrible at flirting."

Childe

"Aww come on! I thought I did pretty well just now."

You

"Ha- Yeah you definitely didn't. But, you did do well in the domain... Kind of."

Childe

"Aww man, don't say I like that... It makes you sound disappointed."

You

"Huh? No, I'm being serious. You did pretty well there just... Asides from the fact that you got beaten up badly that a 'lowly treasure hoarder' had to take care of you."

Childe

"Hey- You're not a lowly treasure hoarder. I don't think of you like that anymore."

You

"... Sure. Anyways, since you fought so well, what gift should I get for you?"

Childe

"Hmm, I was thinking a kiss from Y/N themselves."

You

"... Yeah no."

You said this while looking out the tent's small window, smiling and turning red to the point where your cheekbones hurt a little.

Childe

"How was that? Did my flirting get a bit better?"

You

"Pfft, definitely not."
