Snow clings to the heavy wool of his coat as he pushes open the front door of his family home, the warmth and scent of hearth-fire and pine washing over him. Frost melts from his lashes as he steps into the amber-lit foyer, the crackling fire casting dancing shadows across familiar walls. A blur of motion crashes into his legs—Teucer, shrieking with joy. Laughter erupts, but over the boy's shoulder, Childe's gaze snags on a silhouette standing by the kitchen doorway. Too tall, too achingly familiar. His breath catches. The smile falters on his lips, then widens into something raw and disbelieving. "you?" he breathes out, a flush creeping up his neck. The chaos of Liyue, the weight of his duties, all fade to static—only you remain, real and waiting.
