Back at it again to make more Diluc angsty Chaos but I’m uno reversing now and making it Childe
Diluc is probably Childe’s first relationship EVER, he’s used to hookups and flings and he thought he might’ve had a chance with Zhongli that came to an end rather fast.
Childe would try his best for Diluc, he’d take care of him, protect him and do whatever he could for Diluc. To him, he probably sees taking care of Diluc just as important as his mission and promise to the Tsarista (idk if I spelt that right)
On the day he accidentally hurts Diluc however is another story. He knows Diluc can handle anything physical that he may end up doing on accident but emotionally and mentally? That sticks with Childe everyday, he may not say anything about it but it’s clear he’s upset with himself for saying something that might’ve triggered Diluc to spiral a bit or maybe even hit a nerve
He knows to give Diluc space afterwards but he doesn’t want Diluc thinking he wishes to cause him harm on purpose so he backs off for a bit longer than what Diluc’s used to and it stresses Diluc out bc he’s gotten so used to having him there that it doesn’t feel right to him when he’s gone. He’d spiral into a panic and try to hide it thinking Childe’s finally gotten tired when in reality Childe’s probably off asking Kaeya 101 questions about Diluc so he knows better next time
When he goes back to Diluc though, the doors probably locked so he’ll sneak in through the window instead and his firefly is asleep without him, normally Diluc waits for him, doesn’t sleep without him and now he’s not sure if it’s okay to crawl in
Diluc’s a light sleeper though and when he rolls over Childe can see the red in his eyes from crying and the even darker circles under his pretty eyes as well, Diluc’s tired and he just wants Childe back
He’d try so hard to calm himself and not cry bc he can’t handle losing someone he cares about, regardless of circumstances and after 5 days of leaving out of the blue Diluc started to believe he’d lost Childe
Childe’s quick to reassure him, run to his side and wipe his tears but his heart breaks a little when he hears Diluc softly say “Don’t leave me please” in his arms, Childe’s a bit stunned bc Diluc’s been working on being more vulnerable, sure, but this is another level of vulnerability. He can hear it in the waiver of his voice and he can feel it by the grip he has on his shirt, Diluc’s mind is back to the day his father died and Childe NEVER wants him to feel like he has to protect him let alone feel like he’ll leave him just like that.
Childe explains in between a flurry of kisses all over his baby face that there’s no way he’d go down without a fight
He probably goes to get Diluc a ton more books and different pens and ink colors for him as gifts bc Childe’s love language would be anything physical and gifts <3
(I added a lil fluff so it shouldn’t be toooo bad, I’ll leave you alone for now - The angst anon here to ruin your day <3333)
Tumblr media
Ok. First, you underestimate my ability to take angst. Since middle school, I've been writing fanfiction and been on Tumblr since high school. And I was cringy was all fuck. I will say I am not a 'hurt/no comfort' person cause tbh a lot of that ends up being super unbelievable to me, but that is just me.
I think Diluc and Childe are both pretty fresh to relationships. I totally agree with the childe flings and hook up. Just because those are easier and, in a way, fit him.
Wherewith Diluc, he didn't have any interest. Or was under pressure to only do what would be best for his family (most likely pressured to look at Jean for marriage).
So they both have a lot to learn relationship-wise.
I can totally see Childe accidentally probably making a joke about dying or something that just caused Diluc to stiffen up and snap at Childe. Then instantly apologizing or doing something that triggers Diluc's PTSD. And Diluc trying to brush it off.
Childe would hate that more than any. But He's determined to fix things.
And when already on edge, the last thing Diluc needs is to be alone. But bro. I love crying together, and I love it so much.
Also, I think Childe is defiantly a physical affection kind of guy. Diluc might not be. But Diluc also is very much a gift-giver too. They both trade gifts constantly as just things that remind them of each other. Diluc Also writes letters and sneaks them into CHilde's pockets. Because he can't always say what he wants to, he'll do his best to communicate it somehow.
Ok.
So kinda sidetrack. Childe traveling around for work. Ending ups getting Diluc all kinds of souvenirs and books. And once he learns Diluc likes chess. He starts sending Diluc all these kinds of different chess pieces and boards.
