#yan.600

the way your hands shaked as your tears streamed down on your face - you looked so hopeless. you couldn't breathe properly due to all the crying for the past hours; and even if you tried to breathe properly it wouldn't work - it just won't stop.

how did this even start in the first place? at first it was anger, throwing things around you as a way to cope. but it turned into agony, your screams were so loud that the whole city must've woken up from it but you didn't even care - you just kept on crying and crying. it's the only thing you could do anyways.

you tugged on your hair harshly as you continued crying - making it even harder for your lungs to work.

god, how you wanted albedo to be there right now. he had to stay at his office a bit longer to check up on the recent data that he got and you respected that, really. but you couldn't even help yourself at this point.

you were far too busy from what you're going through to even notice that albedo had actually returned from work. you only realized that he there when you noticed that you weren't harshly tugging at your hair anymore - instead you were holding albedo's hands.

his touch was gentle, and the look in his eyes showed concern. albedo immediately engulfed you into a hug, making you cry even harder onto his clothes. he doesn't mind though; his priority right now is you.

albedo let you sobbed for the gods know how long.

after what felt like hours of crying, you finally calmed down and your ability to breathe again was getting better. hr called out to your name, to which you weakly hummed at. "what happened, my love?" albedo asked, slowly rocking himself back and forth with you in his arms, patiently waiting for your response.

and so you told him. you told him everything that's been happening - on how you felt so overwhelmed lately and how you just bottled it all up until you finally reached your breaking point.

"why don't we look at the stars for now? it helps me if there's something troubling me at times." he suggested. you nodded weakly at him, far too exhausted to even think straight at the moment.

a good 2 hours had passed and to your dismay, it didn't stop. in fact, it rained even harder than before. you signed again, this time it was out of frustration. your phone had died so you had no way of contacting someone to pick you up and you're shivering from the cold temperature this rain has been causing. what more could go wrong?

"if you're just gonna sit there, you might as well sleep here for the night." a voice said. you took a glance to see who it was and it was none other than your co-worker, xiao. he was lending you his umbrella as he spoke.

you and xiao never really talked much. the only interaction you got was simply encountering each other at coffee shops during a short break or the times when you bump into each other when work is over. needless to say, you didn't know each other personally.

"i- but what about you? don't you also need this?" you asked, hesitantly holding the umbrella. "i can just wait for the rain to die down, you need it more than me anyways."

"i feel bad if i were to just leave alone though..." you silently mumbled. "aha! why don't we share the umbrella? i'm the the two of us can fit, no?" you suggested, hoping that he'll agree to your idea.

it took quite a while before xiao agreed to share the umbrella. but just like you said, the two of you fit quite right underneath. though yes, you should bring your umbrella properly next time...

"so you're telling me that we just stack up these three different snowballs and it'll be a person?" he asked.

"well, it'll look like a person but you managed to get the gist of it!"

xiao helped you with the stacking but he was completely clueless when it came to the decorating. "xiao can you get me a carrot?" "what do you need a carrot for?" "it's for the snowman's nose!"

he understood (not really, he just wanted to make it seem like he gets what you're saying) what you said and left to grab a quick carrot for the snowman you two have been building. you continued to decorate the snowman, adding the sticks for its arms and some rocks for its face.

once xiao came back with the carrot, you quickly stuck it in the head and soon you two were finished on the snowman.

"there's something missing… oh right the scarf!" you said as you took off your own scarf and wrapped it around. "wouldn't you get cold though?" xiao asked.

"i'll be fine!"

as you sat next to childe, who was heavily struggling with holding his pair of dear chopsticks, you couldn't help but laugh at him. "instead of laughing there, you could actually help me with this, you know?" he sighed. "and what's the fun in that?" you replied as you picked up your own chopsticks and continued to eat.

childe sighed once again, poking and pushing around the food with his chopsticks. in the corner of your eye, you watched him as he does this. "well, if you can't use chopsticks then you can simply request for the regular utensils instead. i'm sure xiangling would have those in store."

"she seems to be busy in the kitchen though, how about you feed me instead?" he suggested, a shit eating smirk forming on his face.

this time, you sighed. grabbing your chopsticks as you picked up some of the food on his plate and offered it to him. "say ah~" you sarcastically cooed at childe. he was rather stiff for a moment - he only said it as a joke and he didn't actually think that you would feed him. "well? aren't you going to eat?" you asked him. "ah~" he said, stuttering a bit as childe took bite of the food you offered.

but a few minutes later while you’re on the ride, you start to regret your choice. numerous profanities was spilled from your mouth in a hushed voice, calling yourself stupid for saying that you were willing to try this ride out.

kaeya failed to ignore your small gestures, thinking how he can ease your mind from this hectic ride. you felt a hand grab yours and obviously, it was kaeya who softly smiled at you - an expression that says “everything will be fine”.

you thought that it was rather unfair, leaving all of the chopping and slicing to childe but he on the other hand, thought that it would be for the best. he doesn’t want to see you hurt nor does he want to see your fingers all wrapped up in bandages.

but alas, you were persistent. the amount of times you nagged childe to let you try using the knife again is something childe can’t even keep a record of himself. however, he lets you anyway - maybe this time you won’t get another cut.

your hopes crushed you once again as you saw another small cut as small spots of blood started slowly oozing out of your index finger. childe rushed to your side, the first aid kit already with him. “what if we both use the knife, maybe that’ll stop your unusual bad luck.” he suggested as he wrapped a small bandaid on your finger, placing a kiss on your knuckles right after.

“knives just hate me.” you replied with a sigh. childe chuckled at you as he patted your head, “how about we continue making dinner but this time, i’ll be the one who’s cutting the carrots.” he said.

“fine~ just cut your carrots properly this time.”
