[3rd person]

- Tease -

(Y/n) was talking to Kaeya at the knights of Favonius Headquarters. Nothing mission related, just idle chat. Two friends being friends.

While the two were talking, another person bursts in the HQ. Fiery red hair, a fearsome aura.

"Diluc!" (Y/n) was suprised to see him.

"(Y/n)?" Diluc frowned upon seeing the girl talking to Kaeya. "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing much! Just having a chat with Kaeya?"

"Hi Diluc!" The mentioned man greeted sarcastically.

"Kaeya..." Diluc greeted back with a scowl.

"What brings you here?"

"I was going to have a chat with you, but I didn't expect to see (y/n) here. It's quite upsetting."

"Ehh? Why?" The girl questioned.

Diluc leaned towards (y/n) and whispered into her ear. "You and I will talk later."

His breath was warm and tickled the (h/c) girl, making her cheeks flare up. "O-okay..."

Kaeya sighed at the sight of the two. "Well, sorry to cut our chat short but if you don't mind, you can wait for us outside while we finish our chat."

"Sure!" (Y/n) headed out of the HQ and stood outside to wait.

After a good 15 minutes passed, the red haired Diluc dashed out the doors of the HQ and swooped (y/n) into his arms. While the girl was too shocked to react, Diluc was leaping from house to house and soon enough they were out of the Mondsadt castle's walls. And Diluc finally put her down.

"That was sudden..." (y/n) said softly. Her gaze towards him was equally soft, as if her previous shock was quick to rush out of her body.

"Stop looking at me like that, you honorary knight."

"Huh?"

Diluc turned his body away from her, in an attempt to hide his face with a growing blush.

"Diluc are you okay?" The girl inched closer to him. "Are you suddenly feeling unwell? Did you argue with Kaeya?"

"No."

An idea passed (y/n)'s mind. She was going to tease him. "Oh I get it!" She grinned cheekily.

"Get what?"

"You're jealooouuuus!" She giggled, while Diluc didn't react. "Oh? Silence? That means I'm correct aren't I?"

"Tsk."

"Eh?"

"Tease me again and I'll kiss you." The boy who wields a claymore turned to look at (y/n) with serious eyes.

"Diluc? Did you drink some very strong wine from the winery?"

"No."

"Do you have a fever?" (Y/n) lifted her hand in an attempt to touch his head and check his temperature, but she was stopped as Diluc caught her hand.

"Aren't you interesting, (y/n). So what if I'm jealous about you and Kaeya being a little close. What are you going to do then?"

The girl was too distracted by their close proximity and the feel of his warm hand grabbing hers for the girl to think straight. "I...uh..."

"Better think fast." He moved his face even closer to hers.

"I can't think straight if you're so near me like this!" (Y/n) bursted out.

"Oh?" Diluc's free hand made its way to (y/n)'s cheek, gently caressing it. While he whispered into her ear,"This is what you get for teasing me."

'I swear I'm going to get a nosebleed' The girl thought while her heart pounded at an insane rate.

"Diluc..." She murmured. 'Any more of this and I'm seriously going to faint!'

"Hm?" He softly bit the earlobe of the honorary knight, who at that moment passed out and was quickly caught by Diluc. "Whoops. Looks like that was too much for (y/n) to handle." He sighed.
