It was a rainy day, clouds hanging low, and it was unbelievably cold. You had been walking home from a long 7 hour shift in Chenyu Vale, walking home to your cramped apartment in Liyue Harbor. It was dark out by now, probably somewhere near Midnight. The walk is always long but you've been doing this for 5 years now, so your legs have long grown used to the distance.
Everything was going okay, until suddenly your umbrella was snatched out of our hand, rain water immediately got into your eyes making it difficult to see, you heard shuffling all around you and immediately reached to your waist to grab your sword. You blink the water out of your eyes to no avail, it was raining too hard.
“Who's there! I know how to use a sword!” You called out to the attackers. You hear shuffling behind you and go to whip around and swing, when someone in front of you grabbed your hands and kept them still. The person behind, grabbed your waist and held your body to themselves.
“Give us all your money if you want to live!” They yelled in my ear. Fear reaches your eyes as you squirm your body around, trying to get your hands free to use the sword.
“Hell no! Let go of me!” You yell, managing to break your arms free. You swing your sword at the people around you, frantically trying to gain distance. There were 3 guys, and they all came at you at once. Nocking your sword out of your hands, one of them kicks you down, the other grabs a rope to bind your hands. Last, they reach for your bag, taking all of your belongings. “Give that back!” You're practically in tears now, though they are all washed away from the rain water soaking you as you lay on the muddy ground, bound by the arms and legs.
“Drop it” A new voice yells, jumping in front of you. His stance was practiced, precise. He had bright ginger hair, and the prettiest jawline ever. He effortlessly knocked out the man with my bag, catching it before it reached the muddy floor. The other 2 men charged at him, only for this pretty stranger to dodge and take out his own weapon from thin air, which only vision wielders can do. As he twists and turns you notice the hydro vision very clear on his waist. So he's lucky… huh. When it is all over, the stranger walks over and offers his hand to you.
“Thank you.. For the help” You smile.
“Of course, I couldn't leave someone to die out here.” He laughs, handing you your bag. You take it gratefully. “Whats someone like you doing all the way out here so late?” the stranger asks. Waiting for you to answer, he scans your body. You were soaked head to toe, much like him. But you had burn marks on your wrists from the rope, and a gash in your side from the fall.
“Hm, walking home from work. Not much I can do about that.”
“Work? Where..” He said a little surprised.
“In Chenyu Vale. I live in Liyue Harbor though, its quite the daily walk” You laugh it off. He thinks for a moment.
“Ah, well i’m Childe. What should I call you?” He introduces. ‘Childe! What an interesting name..” You think.
“Im [Name], Nice to meet you Cilde, and thank you again for saving me” you bow. “You dont look like you're from around here though..”
“Shnezneya.” he confirms.
“Ah! That's where those Fatui come from…” You look down. He laughs.
“Yes it is. So, can I escort you home! I would feel bad to make you continue on your own while you're injured.” He asks, pointing to your wound. You look down at it finally, and in doing so unlock the pain, wincing immediately.
“Ah shoot..” You mutter while taking your bag to find your first aid kit. When you do you look around for any sort of shelter. Taking notice of a small cave, you point to it and suggest tending to the wound first. Childe agrees, and leads the way. When you arrive, you immediately take your shirt off and slip it onto a rock, sitting down to clean and patch your side.
“You're quite bold…” Childe mutters, looking for wood to light a fire.
“It will get in the way.” You say simply. Taking a q-tip and whipping at the mud. You sigh, working on yourself was hard, and takes a lot of courage to get your hands to move. The smell of burning met your nose suddenly, looking to the side where light was illuminating softly next to you, the ginger had lit a fire, perfect.
“Do you need help with that?” He asks you suddenly, pointing to your injury and shaky hands.
“Ah, yes please.. I will compensate you for your time once I'm home, by the way.” I say, handing him the supplies as he comes closer.
“Haha, no way. This is nothing but my choice, no need for compensation. Though, you could treat me to a meal? Call it a date??” He laughs. He brings his arms to gently tend to your wound, hands rough against your skin. It stings lightly, as he then bandages it up tightly.
“Hmm, that doesn't sound bad.” you think, wincing again when the fabric of the bandage meets the exposed flesh. You pick up your shirt from near the fire, and slip it back on, mud dry on it and flaking off. Your pants are close to dry too.
“Its a date then, tomorrow, you take work off and hang out with me. Ready to go?” he asks. You nod, grabbing your umbrella and opening it for the both of you to continue your walk home.
“Thank you again Childe.” You smile up to him, he looks down.
“Any time short-stack” He laughs, leading the way ahead to Liyue Harbor.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED!!! let me know if you want to be on the Genshin Taglist, or the main Taglist!!
The Wanderer, loving me…? Not in a million years. It’s impossible, he just barely tolerates my presence, he looks annoyed all the time.
So why is he looking at me like that, like I’m his world, his home… hmm. I’m confused, I need to know the truth.
“Wanderer..” I mumble almost too quietly. The puppet hums, face resting on his hand. “Do you.. hate me?”
Surprise etched onto his face, before being replaced with a softness unlike anything I’ve seen on him before.
“I’ve showed you my past, let you be around me whenever you want. I don’t push you away or yell… a you think I hate you? No, annoyingly enough, it’s quite the opposite” he says, turning his head away with a blush on his face.
“I’m glad” I whisper, placing my forehead onto the table. Wanderer looked at me with his indigo eyes.
“Maybe I should try a little harder to show how I really feel about you. Maybe soon, then you won’t have to second guess.”

Okay so this is really bad but idk I’m tired and wanted to post something
Summary: Gojo's a whore, I’m not, we could never mix… at least I think so.
MASTERLIST
Gojo Satoru. What a bitch, a fuckboy asshole… at least I'm pretty sure. I never see him with the same girl, those prissy bitches falling for his effortless charm, and then getting their hearts broken the next. NOT EVEN THE MEN WERE SAFE! This man was a WHORE… At least I think so. Look I've never talked to the guy, not even once. I mean, we've made eye contact from across the classroom before, him sending one of his sly smirks my way, but that's about it, and I’m glad to keep it that way.
FUCK my life, group project?! In this day and age? This is college, not middle school. Oh and the worst part about it…
“[Name], and Gojo.”
My heart sunk, me… and the man with a body count that has got to be in the hundreds. Hell no. No way.
“Miss, I don-” she shushed me right away and continued with assigning partners. When she was done, she waved us off to find our partner and start coming up with a plan for our project. I groaned out, my face falling to the table. “I can’t believe it…”. The shuffles of everyone moving seats were heard, but I made no effort to move myself. If Satoru Gojo was to be MY partner, he would have to come to me.
“Uh,hello!” An obnoxiously loud voice said from beside my table. I groaned again quietly, lifting my head to meet Gojo's eyes. He sent me a small smile, and lifted his hand to a short wave. “Im Goj-”
“I know.” I cut him off, “Everyone knows who you are…” He smirked a little.
“Is that so?” laughing, he sat his bag down before taking his seat next to me. “Well, we're partners! So, let's exchange contact information, we need to set up times and places to work on the project.” My eyes widened, no mindless flirting, and efficient work ethic? No, no, he's just putting on a face, I mean who wants to fail class.
“Ah, right… here” I hold out my phone for him to add his contact, sending himself a quick message to confirm. When the ding went off, he opened it up and added your contact. Looking at your phone, he had only put in his name, simple, easy. When I looked up from my phone he had already gotten his laptop and notebook out. Noticing this I quickly opened my laptop up. “Do you want to make the doc or do you want me to?” I asked.
“Ive got it, hold on.” He spoke, clicking a few buttons on his laptop. “Alright lets get started.”
So far, working with Gojo is nothing like I expected, it's been about a week and a half since we have started, and yes he does get interrupted by girls a lot… but he always dismisses them. It’s odd, seeing this person I know as a good for nothing fuckboy be a decent human being and contribute to the work. He's actually pretty funny too, once you get to know him. He sends sly remarks, teasing words… but none actually mean or too flirty. Currently, me and Gojo are working in my dorm on our assignment. My dorm is far more cozy, and I would prefer to not be in some guy's room. Everything was going fine, until Gojo got a message. I made a random comment, not really thinking.
“That one of your girlfriends waiting to fuck?” My laugh caught in my throat when I realized what I said. “I mean- uhm” He looked at me in confusion, his bright blue eyes squinting slightly. He parted his lips to speak, but nothing came out. “I'm sorry that was very out of pocket I shouldn't be bringing your personal affairs into this…” my voice was nothing more than a whisper at the end.
“It’s fine… but I don’t have a girlfriend, let alone multiple?”
“What.. but like I see you with a different girl like, every day! And you flirt with everyone!!” He laughed at that, causing me to flush pink. ‘ what was so funny..’
“Man, you crack me up” he breathed out through loud laughs. “Yes I flirt, but ive been single for a good while now.”
“So you lead all these girls on? Fuck them and then forget..?!” my eyes widened. He looked at me with horror in his eyes.
“Wha- no! What could ever make you think that… im..” He whispered the last part..
“Oh.. Ive always taken you as a fuckboy.. Sorry about that” I looked down, ashamed to have made so much up about this genuinely nice guy. Yes he always has a girl near him… but hes never done anything. I feel awful.
“Why would you! No ive never slept with someone in my life! This is the wildest thing-” my head whipped up to look at him.
“You're a vergin!?” I yelled, shock in my face. He looked at me then.
“I- no- well.. Yeah! But you are too!” This day could not get any wilder.
“No… I'm not? Gojo, why would you assume that!”
“Why would you assume I’m a whore?!”
“I’m sorry! You just act like one!” I’m practically crying now, so embarrassed as I shove my face in my hands. I'm about to spout out another string of apologies when he starts to laugh.
“Man this is hilarious… top 5 misunderstandings, that's for sure.” I look up at him, whipping my face of the little tears I shed.
“Dude how are you laughing, this is like the most embarrassing day of my life. I feel so bad!”
“It’s fine, I can get how you would think that.. And I'm sorry for assuming you were a Virgin, you seemed like the type to avoid that kind of stuff.”
I sighed. “Of course not, I’m just as surprised to find out you are!” He looked at me, then with the biggest stupidest smirk ever, said to me.
“You could change that” Good lord… what has this man done to me.
