“The more you hate, the more you love,” they say, Diluc merely scoffs at this. He spent half of his life resenting the people of your nation and field of work, yet he wonders why he gravitates towards you despite being his so-called enemy.

-

Diluc’s eyes turn into slits as he and the last person he ever wanted to cross paths with makes eye contact. “Get out.”

You let out a gasp and clutched your chest, feigning a hurt expression. “I haven’t even been here for less than a minute and you already want me gone, Master Diluc?”

The darknight hero grits his teeth, “Get out before I drag your ass out of my premises.”

You clicked your tongue, “Always so cruel.”

Enraged, Diluc lunges, but halts his movements when he sees you clutching your abdomen, hands coated in crimson. “Why are you-“ His words falter as you stagger, and Diluc barely managed to catch you without almost falling himself.

He scowls,” What the hell is wrong with you?”

You notice the latter’s fleeting gaze and smile grimly, “I didn’t know where else to go.”

-

“Just because I’m doing this doesn’t mean we’re on good terms, fatui.”

“The thought never crossed my mind.” You let out an airy chuckle, but winced when Diluc pressed a cloth against your wound, “Can’t you be more gentle, Diluc?"

The latter forces himself to not pinch the other’s injury as a means of revenge. “We are not on a first name basis.”

“I’d say we’re past that, seeing as you’re in my lap right now-“ Diluc’s face flush a vivid red as he strikes you in the head. “Ow! You ought to be more careful with your patients!”

“Get the fuck out. I don’t know what came over me that I even let you stay here even after lights out.”

You pout, “You do know you can drop the act? It’s finally just us, babe.” You could feel the darknight’s embarrassment seeping through the room, cheeks flared so scarlet that could rival the hue of his hair.

“You’re so insufferable,” Diluc shoves away from your grasp and snarls, “I have no clue on why I even agreed to have some kind of relationship with someone as the likes of you-“

You only hum in response as you pull the latter closer by the waist, “Hm. What else?”

“Just thinking about my feelings for you makes me feel repulsed. I can’t believe I’m actually here with you out of all people.” Diluc continues to ramble on, “You’re stubborn, careless, a war freak, and yet here I am succumbing to your fucking charms once again-”

You kissed the crown of his head, “And?”

“I hate you.” The darknight seethes, but momentarily relaxes when you give him a peck on the lips.

“One more.” Your voice turned husky, teasing. You kissed your lover once more, your contact lasting longer than the previous ones. “I want one more.”

Diluc wanted to swipe your stupid grin off of your face. “I hate you so-mph!”
