HOW YOU GET THE GIRL — CHP 02, PART3

previous part

contents: light cursing, your first name is KIWO—Y/N is a placeholder for your middle name or last, its your choice, gn!reader (so they/them prns)

CHILDES POV

“My god, Furi. Is it this one?” I say through the call, picking up a random book with an identical title.

Anyone who knows me can already tell I don’t have the patience for this kind of thing. The smell of bookshops are nice—but actually spending hours in this place makes me a bit annoyed.

I mean, you should atleast have a way to get the book you want immediately, right?

“No, no no. This can’t do… Quick, check the fiction area! There still might be a copy in the stands.” Furina panics, I can already imagine her pacing around the hotel room.

“Fine, but this is the last one. If we still can’t find it then i’m sorry—we’ll go tomorrow, okay?”

“Alright, deal. But if its out of stock i’m blaming you.”

“Whatever,” I roll my eyes. I head over to the fiction section, phone still in hand.

“This one?” I flip the camera so she can see it, her voice immediately lights up.

“That! Exactly that one. Get it, I order you!” She squeals.

“Yeah, yeah I already am… Stop screaming, everyone can hear you!”

“Uh—excuse me please.” A voice says, right beside me.

“Oh, yeah sure. Sorry.” I back off immediately, going to the corner of the shelf.

Their hair is covering their face, purposely hiding their identity in a way. I don’t mean to be rude anyway. They steal glances from time to time, as if trying to make sure of something.

I realize that maybe what im wearing might be strange. All denim, ripped cloth, it’s not really their fashion here in Fontaine. Either way, its not that big of a deal. I get stares all the time.

“Thank you,” they whisper and I start to turn the other way. They reach for the fiction isle I was just in. “Have you seen any books on this table by any chance?”

They look at me. For a long time.

It makes me a little nervous.

“Um, yeah. You mean this right?” I show the book in-hand. Furina says something about not giving it away, but I dont listen and hang up the call immediately.

“Yeah. That one.” They say, looking back at the table and realizing there are no other copies left.

“Is this like a popular book or something? Everyone seems to be getting it.” I scan the book for any details why—I mean the cover isnt anything interesting at all. Just a fancy white and gold mask with feathers.

A chill R&B song plays in the shop’s speakers, filling the atmosphere with something playful.

“I mean a newspaper just recently covered it. This is just the collectors edition, so anyone who really liked the book or likes to collect would buy this.” They point at the book. “The unique thing about is that there are only a total of 500 prints. It makes that really rare.”

“So you must really want this, then?”

They nod once more.

“One of my favorite books of all time.”

“I see… Well you know my friend, Furi, she really wants this book and I—I didn’t know you needed this too.” I try to explain, “I mean im just assuming you want to buy it?”

“No, its okay. She can have it, I don’t mind.” They wave their arms, no.

Oh.

“Are you sure? Like, really?” I stutter.

I could just give it to them, I mean Furina wouldn’t mind—we’ll find another copy elsewhere.

“I swear, it’s really okay.”

“Im just, gonna go pay for this then. See you around…” I wait for them to say their name.

“Oh—well my name is Kiwo, or Y/N. I don’t mind which one you use.”

“Okay. See you then, Kiwo.”

I thought about saying my name, but that might just cause a problem for my managers.

So we settle for Kiwo instead.

What a pretty name though, Y/N.

HOW YOU GET THE GIRL — CHP 02 , PART2

contents: bucket list discussion, light cussing

CHILDES POV

“What’s one thing you haven’t done, Ayato?” I ask.

“I mean, if we’re talking about the activities in my bucket list that haven't been crossed off yet… Maybe… Paragliding?” He answers back.

Our manager opens the lock of the door quite swiftly. She gets some of our bags and starts putting them inside our rooms.

“I doubt that there are any paragliding activities here in Fontaine. I mean, it’s mostly just the ocean so the closest you’ll get is parasailing.” Yelan joins in the conversation. I fidget with the keychains on my bag until I get to enter my room.

Should I stream before the concert? Or record something as a status update?

Once I was finally able to enter my room, I set my bags down and put my guitar stand aside. Quickly, I put my clothes inside my drawer and iron the ones I’ll be using later.

Does my outfit even match the theme?

I was so caught up in my own thoughts. I didn’t even realize the fact I only had a guitar stand, and no guitar.

Shit.

I think I left it in the car.

YOUR POV

“Only 3 hours left! What should we do before the concert?” You ask, turning to your friends behind. Cyno and Miko are carrying their luggage effortlessly while Kaveh is suffocating from the humidity of Fontaine.

Navia’s house is just up ahead. Behind all the trees, once you enter a secluded part of Fontaine, you can go down to the tunnels and enter the hotel.

You had spent most of our childhood there anyway, you’ve become familiar with the area. You could say you stayed here long enough to see the apples fall down each season a million times, long enough to the point that you consider it and remember it as your second home.

Literally and figuratively.

“Summer in Fontaine is the absolute worst,” Kaveh says, wiping his forehead with a small cloth he had. “I feel horrible. How are we going to a concert in this weather?”

“You’re already used to the desert during summer. Now, tell me which is even worse; The summer desert or summer in Fontaine?” Cyno says.

“Summer in Fontaine?”

“It was a rhetorical question. And quit lying—you know that the desert is much hotter.”

“But there's no humidity! Fontaine is a literal island surrounded by so much water…”

“You two are so noisy.” Miko complains, grabbing her bag and walking faster to catch up with you. “Let’s go, Navia just texted me.” She says to you before walking much faster.

Before you enter the tunnel, you all scan around the area before going—seeing a strangely familiar orange haired guy run around chasing a car.

“You comin’?” Cyno says, bringing me back. They’re already nearing the entrance and you’re still on the street.

Concerned about that guy, you try to look for a reason to follow him as well. You spot a bookstore just a few buildings away and use that to your advantage.

“Uh, I think I'm just gonna get a few things at the shop… Can you bring my luggage there? Thanks.” You say, dropping your bag down. It slides pretty quickly as it goes to your friends.

“Be quick,” Kaveh says. “I think we have a few hours before the concert. Its.. 1:40, we need to get there at 3 for the soundcheck, okay?”

You nod.

You walk, no—jog to the bookshop. Looking around the street to find that guy—but of course, nothing.

A part of you was debating whether or not to still enter that shop. You weren’t gonna buy anything anyway, besides… You checked your wallet and only had a few mora to your name.

You take a glance at the glass window,

The Masquerade, collectors edition for only 10,000 mora! 50% off until February 16, 2023.

It was the only thing that can convince you to get in.

hurt/comfort . word count : 0.4k

hi !!! this may have possibly inaccurate scientific information so dont take the metaphor too seriously since i did SOME research then relied on my memory from elementary T_T

If a black hole were to be present in a solar system, it would proceed to swallow everything in its boundary. All the life and colors you had once seen were now inside a seemingly never-ending dark tunnel. You couldn’t see anything, even if you had a flashlight to guide your way, even if you had viewed it on a screen.

But just because the black hole removed everything seemingly good in your life, a nebula close by could still be the one to recreate the same stars and planets you lived on. It may not be the same, but it’s better than thinking about the fact you may no longer have a home to go back to.

Zhongli holds you close to him as you cry. Your tears not only stain the white dress shirt he wore for that day, but also the heart you lay next to. He doesn’t mind the stain, all he wants is for you to feel safe. For you to be lively once more.

He holds you and hushes you. His hand on your back providing the warmth you so desperately needed at that moment.

Zhongli knew who you liked, who you really wanted to invite to be your prom-date. He had accepted it already—because he knew you liked them more. But he hoped, maybe, a part of you would reconsider before you asked the question. That maybe you would turn back to him because you know he could never say no to you.

But you didn’t, you and your stubborn self. He had wondered how you managed to live this far long with your impulsiveness. They ended up rejecting you, saying they already had someone they liked better.

Someone they liked better.

Something he never thought your crush would say.

So, yes. They liked you back. But you where, what, the second? The third to their list? It was nothing short than disgusting, messed up even. They toyed with you until the one they actually liked came back to them with a response.

A part of him is glad though. You ran to his arms first rather than your other friends who were with you the entire time. A glimmer of hope may shine through Zhongli’s chest. Maybe you wouldn’t mind being his prom date once more, right?
