Supermarket - Fischl pov

I accompanied Xiao to the store.

although... he didn't seem so happy to see me.

I want to ask about y/n but.. would that be okay? Is she okay? What is she doing, is she feeling better? What happened at school, why won't she answer my texts..?

"Hey um xiao.."

"..."

He didn't hear me?

"Xiao!"

"Huh..? Sorry what were you saying?"

'Unbelievable...'

"Ahem! I was saying, how is y/n doing ? Do you think I can come visit."

"Oh, um. Give her some time, I'm certain she'll reach out. When she's ready that is."

"I see.. let her know I'm worried please. Well that may not help her at all... forget that um just say I'm here if she wants to talk." The blonde declared.

"Kay..?"

He's just as dry as ever. Honestly... he could at least learn to keep a conversation going. Y/n and venti are the only people he ever talks to.

Fischl was lost in thought, not noticing Xiao had already paid and left.

'THAT SON OF A-'

Day 1

You hadn't gone to school the following day, and you were obviously jumpy from yesterday. Afraid what others would think. What they would say. Their gaze penetrated your soul. it shouldn't bother you, but... it did. It gave you an uneasy feeling, one you couldn't get rid of.

"Maybe..... tomorrow" you said to yourself

Xiao on the other hand did go to school and made sure to take another set of notes for you. He knew about your mother and the way she treated you. He knew about your sibling who had gone missing. And he knew about your father.

He himself believed you two were almost the same, both suffering to a certain degree. The both of you having some sort of trauma. Losing the people that you loved most. He however, vowed to make sure that YOU would not be hurt again.

No matter what it takes.

He would not allow himself to have you feel the same kind of pain you did on that fateful day. He had grown attached to you during the short time he had known you. You were like a little sister to him.

Those in your photography class whispered, glancing at xiao every so often. Perhaps talking about you, knowing that you and xiao are in some way relatives.

Fischl had grown worried seeing as you weren't at school. You've known her for a long time but just couldn't bring yourself to talk to her about any of your problems.

Feeling as though... you're a burden

Day 2

You couldn't bring yourself to go to school, you were still embarrassed about what happened

'They all probably think I'm weird now, fish and ajax may not even want to be my friend any more. Does xiao think I'm a burden....?'

You felt something nibbling softly at you finger and when you looked to see what had been carefully indenting your skin you saw a ball of fluff.

Gluestick.

Meoowww

You squinted at the feline trying to figure out what it wanted until your stomach grumbled

"Ah... I'm sorry gluestick... I forgot to feed you today. Let's go eat together, I'll give you wet food today"

The cats ears perked up at your words promptly following you towards the kitchen where you not only fed the cat but yourself. Ramen wasn't extremely healthy nor good for you but... it was easy to make.

Day 3

Fischl hadn't been texting you recently

'Is she tired of me... am I annoying?'

Your mind raced again, stressing about your friend.

Childe on the other hand, said he would be visiting. Even thought you told him not to he insisted on going saying, "cmon girlie! I'll bring cake"

You sighed putting your phone down

'Maybe I should go to school tomorrow, my teachers might be upset with me if I don't' you thought

4:00 pm

DING DONG

you rolled your eyes and ignored it, knowing exactly who it was.

DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG

"FUCK. FINE IM COMING."

You opened the door your gaze fixed at the ginger in-front of you.

You shot him a death stare, threatening his lonely poor soul

"Haha... calm down y/n... it was just a prank bro..."

"Do that again and I will rip your head off." You stated

"Yes ma'am."

"Where's my cake you whore...."

"I-"

a tuft of purple hair was visible behind him

You drew childe inside of your home, moving him out of the way to reveal... scaramouche holding the cake.

"Well well if it isn't pretty boy! Did my utterly good looks bring you by my place !"

"You are not 'utterly good looking.' Y/n, take a look at your face." He spat.

You stared in disbelief of his remark, childe laughing in the background

"I'm only here because childe literally dragged me here and my stupid mom wanted me to give you a letter because of course she can't do shit by herself."

'A letter? From his mom of all people? The fuck'

He handed you the cake staring at you blankly, when you went to reach for it your hands brushed against his own.

A faint blush was plastered across his ears from the slight contact, but you didn't notice and invited him inside.

"Whatever."

Childe and Scaramouche were currently in the living room while you were in the kitchen grabbing beverages.

You made your way to the odd pair and poured them both a cup of tea

"Ok so y/n!" Childe began to speak while you opened and cut the cake, serving them both an equal amount.

You however didn't cut a slice for yourself, which confused childe.

"Not hungry?" He raised a brow

You smiled "Not really, what did you need?"

Your smile is what concerned him even more, it wasn't your usual energetic smile. It was a downcast and gloomy one.

"Alright then... well I just wanted to check in on you. After what happened that day I-"

Your eyes widened slightly

'He wants to check in on me?'
'Am I not an embarrassment?'
'I thought he would hate me..'

"Y/n." Scaramouche spoke sternly, concern slightly laced on his poker face.

"Oh sorry! Please continue"

"So rude y/n!!! Anyways yes checking in on you" childe chimed in

He then crossed his arms and stared at you intensely

"Are you eating enough. Have you done your school work. Where's xiao. Is he taking care of you. Are you okay. Do you need a hug. Also have you heard about the new rumor going around because it's pretty bad"

Jingle jingle
The sound of a bell

Scaramouche tensed up, feeling fur on his arm

Purrr purr

Your cat had jumped on top of scaramouches lap, quickly getting comfortable.

"Cat.... You have a cat" he said in a monotone voice. Slowly loosening up

You giggled at the sight

"That's glue stick, I actually just got him a new collar! Isn't he so cute"

"Who do you think you're laughing at bitch. and who the hell names their cat gluestick, thats a horrible name the fuck ." He responded immediately

You clenched your shirt above where your heart is, making a pained face obviously being overly dramatic

"well at least its better than scaramouche ! such a terrible name to be honest..... and mind your language stupid ugh "

He scoffed handing you the letter he spoke about earlier

"It's from my mother. Apparently you know each other."

"Well hey now scaramouche my questions are still unanswered ...." Childe pouted stupidly

"Shut the fuck up childe you look like an idiot with that stupid punchable face of yours."

"Uh anyways! thanks..? Your mother isss..."

You turned the letter over to reveal the name of who it's from

"Ei...... EI? THE EI? MOMMY?"

Scaramouche stared at you blankly, you could practically SEE him fuming from the ears.
