“love, are you alright?” was the first thing childe said when he saw you. he seemed quite worried, his usual playfulness gone and eyes filled with concern.
to be quite honest, you werent. there was a lot going on already, but the last couple interactions you had with your friends left you rather sad and frustrated. but you didnt really want to show that, so you just sat in silence, fidgeting with your hands.
he came closer, quietly sitting down next to you. you didnt want to look at his face, afraid of breaking down completely if you saw it. you thought you were quite good at masking your emotions, but for some reason childe always read you like an open book, knowing when something was bothering you with just a quick glance.
you stayed in silence for a couple of minutes. it was nice to have him here; his mere presence was quite comforting already, but you still hugged him when he opened his arms. you could feel him gently stroke your hair and his heartbeat calmed you down.
“you dont need to say anything if you dont want to” he murmured, feeling your form slowly relax, “im here if you need anything”
and it was enough. maybe you would talk to him later about all that happened, but for now him just being here was enough.
