shy Foul Legacy. you wonder, sometimes, how Childe loves. with how smug and easygoing he is you can only assume that he loves as fiercely as ocean waves, the type of person to laugh and swing you around when asking how your day was. and in some ways, he is, since that's how he greets you everyday when you visit the Bank, a grin on his face and a rarely-seen twinkle in his eye. around you, Childe is loud, boisterous, confident- but only because he's buried how shy he feels when you're near him under the Abyss, within Foul Legacy. when you finally see his other form, all those soft, delicate feelings rise to the surface. the first time you met, Foul Legacy had been scared, scared that you'd think he was a monster. but you, in all your wonderful braveness, had walked up without a second thought. you had called him "beautiful". and before Childe knew it the room felt too warm and he was covering his face with his hands, a blushing, stuttering mess. it's so cute how he looks away when you approach, cheeks warm even with his mask on. how he whines and hides his face behind his claws when you compliment him. how he yelps when your lips brush his forehead, flustered from the way you lightly chuckle. how he ducks his head behind your shoulder when embarrassed, talons still holding your arm because he doesn't want you to go. he always apologizes afterwards, saying he “acted like a fool”. but you simply hum and run your thumb over his cheeks, because you found it sweet, and soon enough Childe finds himself coming to you in either form for soft affections and a respite from needing to act so sure of himself all the time. yes, on the day you met Foul Legacy, you found that the Eleventh Harbinger loved softly, like the lulling tide under the starlit sky.
