Break in was super fire đ great job, I loved the way you wrote Childe's internal dialogue as- tightly insisting that everything is fine. It was banger, seriously, amazing job and amazing character voice
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words <33
Childe is such an intriguing character to me. He'll say something seemingly normal only to end it off entirely unhinged with no warning and it always makes me stop to think- oh my gosh?? Is he okay??? How did we get here???? I could totally see him trying to rationalize the craziest things in his head because he's been through so much, and somehow manages to still be mildly (debatable) well-adjusted? Cognitive dissonance goes crazy with this guy.
Thank you again for such a sweet ask, reading this truly made me so happy. I had so much fun writing for him, I'm very glad you enjoyed it! :)
Finding you is the first thing he plans to do after getting out of that cursed Fortress of Meropide. Surely you wouldn't leave him a second time, right?
gn!reader x Childe/Tartaglia
Warnings: Breaking and entering, noncon behaviour (nothing too explicit), ooc (?), stalking, unhealthy relationship, like really unhealthy, yandere behaviour, violence used as a control tactic, typical yandere warnings, reader is refered to as malyshka, it gets more problematic the longer you read, Tartaglia is the king of escalations, he fantasizes about baby-trapping you, Childe has a bad relationship with cats (and you, of course), Childe is kind of stupid. Not edited!!

Making the trip up to your kitchen window wasnât difficult, per se. The fire exits on the old apartment complex youâd moved into were rusty, sure, but it was nothing Childe couldn't handle. If anything, it was the waiting that bothered him most. He couldn't be caught scaling the building in daylight, of course, he doesnât want anyone getting the wrong idea.
It was such a shame, really, that he'd come home to an empty house when heâd finally gotten some time off. And after how terribly he'd been treated in Fontaine too- you could stand to be a little nicer to him, yâknow?Â
Honestly, it was pretty mean of you, making him track you down like this. He does his best not to get too angry, though. Surely, you'd been so distraught all alone in that big house of his, there can't be any other possible reason you'd leave like that.
Weren't you so lucky to have such an understanding boyfriend?
He slips through the window, one leg after the other, but it doesn't go as smoothly as he would've liked. Only a step into your apartment, and Tartaglia trips over your trashbin, taking it down with him. Shit.
It's loud- too loud. For a moment, he worries it's enough to wake you, but there's no flicker of the light that he expects to come after.
How very silly of you. What were you thinking, keeping the trash right in front of the window? What if some crazed lunatic broke in and that was your only escape?Â
You've always been a little stupid, but that's okay, he still loves you. That's why he was here anyway, to keep you safe!
It doesnât take long to navigate through your space- not that thereâs much of it, you couldnât afford anything else anyway, heâd made sure of it. Youâd only taken a small bit of his cash with you when youâd left. It almost made him feel giddy inside, knowing that even now you depended on him just to get by.Â
You really couldnât do anything without him, could you? How cute.
Thereâs another problem waiting for him when he makes it to your bedroom door, to which he canât help but give the biggest eyeroll. Of course youâd brought that damn cat. Itâs already hissing at him before heâs even touched the handle.
âHey-! Cut that out, will you??â Somehow, it manages to get its paw stuck in his pant-leg- a miserable attempt at scratching him if heâs ever seen one. Itâs pathetic, really, how long it takes to shake the feline off.
It runs off right after, letting out a displeased mewl like it was particularly offended by his presence. Childe really, really hated that cat.
It wasnât all bad, he supposes. After all, he wouldnât have found you so quick without that insufferable creature. Thank the Tsarista heâd thought to get it chipped- maybe he ought to do that to you, too?
And oh- itâs just pure bliss when he finally passes through your doorway, into your room. He can already see your outline, tucked so tightly under the covers. Were you cold? Poor babyâŚ
Heâs careful not to wake you when he crawls up onto the mattress- youâd probably be pretty upset if you caught him sneaking into bed with you. You were always so emotional like that.
He just missed you so so much- he really canât help himself when he slips under the covers to get closer to youâŚ
Is that a new sleep-shirt? Itâs certainly not one of his- heâll have to fix that later. Tartaglia has to stop himself from laughing. Was this all just some tantrum because you wanted something new? You really didnât need to be so difficult, heâd buy you anything as long as it meant youâd show a little more enthusiasm when he locked you in his home.
Gosh, heâs reeling. You wouldnât mind if he took a good whiff of you, would you? Heâs nosing at your pulse before he can think it through any further. Youâd just have to forgive him later. Youâd let him make it up to you, yeah?
Heâs quick to come to his senses when he feels you flinch- one hand covering your mouth before youâve any chance to scream.
Childe pulls back, and oh, youâre so adorable with those panicked eyes, he could just eat you up. It takes you a moment to fully register that heâs really above you, that heâs really found you, and then youâre kicking and hitting at him with all your might.
âAh, ah, ahâŚâ He tuts, using his own body weight to keep you restrained. Did you truly believe that youâd be any match for him? So silly, that little mind of yours. Itâs almost unbelievable that youâd managed to get this far without him.
âOh malyshka, I know, I know.â He hushes you when your tears begin to fall, leaning down to kiss them away. âI missed you too, so much. But we donât hit, you know that.â
A pathetic whine leaves your lips, muffled against his palm, and heâs unable to hold the grin that it elicits from him. Stars above, itâs been so long since heâs properly heard you. Did you have any idea how weak you made him?Â
âYouâll be good, wonât you? If I let you speak?â He coos, making kissy faces at you that only seem to make you sob harder. How fun.
But youâre a little too upset for his liking when he does finally remove his hand from your mouth.
âTartaglia-âÂ
He can only sigh in disappointment. It was all fun and games when you were only kicking and crying, but this is taking it a step too far. You know how he feels about you using that name. Whyâd you have to go and ruin the moment?
It was starting to pick on his nerves, just how ungrateful you seemed to be. Heâs always been so good to you, canât you behave for him just this once?
âNo, wrong. Ajax.â Â His hand settles just over your throat, not squeezing, but just enough to shut you up a moment. âLetâs try that again, okay? Ajax. Youâll say it for me, right?â
You only claw at his wrist in response.
He doesnât mean to shout, but youâre really testing his patience. He really doesnât deserve to be treated this way, especially not by you. Itâs hurting him, the way youâre misbehaving. Donât you know that it hurts him to have to yell at you like this?
âThatâs mean, malyshka. Youâre being mean.â He presses his fingers harder against your skin, just a little- he can feel the racing thump of your pulse against his thumb.
âYouâre going to wake the neighbors with all that fusing, you know that? If I have to deal with them, thatâll be your fault. Is that what you want, malyshka? You want me to deal with them?â
That seems to sober you up, because youâre silently shaking your head right after, all signs of fight gone out of you in mere seconds.
âIâll give you another try, yeah? What do we say?â
âThank you-â Youâre barely able to get the words out with how unsteady your breathing has become. âThank you, Ajax. IâmâŚIâm so sorryâŚpleaseâŚâ
âThat wasnât so hard, was it?â He rubs his knuckles against your cheek, almost in an attempt to soothe.
âLetâs just go to sleep, okay? Weâll talk about this more tomorrow, malyshka.â
Childeâs really not sure what to do with you. Youâre lucky that he just loves you so much, because youâd be in a lot of trouble otherwise. Canât you see that he just wants the best for you?
Eventually, you fall asleep, head tucked under his chin, wrapped in his arm. It feels great to be home, outburst and all.Â
Heâd have to find some way to mellow you out, though. With how busy the Fatui have been as of late, he really doesnât have time to keep playing these games with you.Â
Maybe he should just give you a baby. Youâd be too busy to try running off again if he put a little more responsibility on your plate. Ajax had always wanted to be a father, anyway, and you were always so good with his little siblings- er, maybe good wasnât exactly the best descriptor. Usually you just sat in silence when he brought you to visit his family. Rude, but he let it slide because it was you.Â
Thatâs okay, though. Youâd learn. Surely there was some parental instinct in there, no?
And if you couldnât physically carry his child, well, that was no issue. It wouldnât be the first time Il Dottore had made a lab baby- he was sure heâd be able to come to some sort of agreement with the second Fatui Harbinger.
For now, heâs content just to have you in his arms again. Heâs missed this, the peace you bring him, the comfort of your weight against him. It keeps him stable, just enough to not lose it entirely.
No matter what you do, Ajax really does love you.
