GIYUU!READER X CHILDE

100 FOLLOWER EVENT

in your first meeting, you simply glanced at him, while he nervously tried to make you talk. it seemed like a one sided conversation, and in reality, it is. but when he got you to talk, he noted that you don't talk much.

if you two are in a relationship, he will still remain annoying and talkative, but you could care less, you found it adorable. he also respects your trouble of talking, so he gladly talks for you, and you are incredibly doting. once he learns about how severe your inferiority complex was, he is there to shower you with praise and sweet nothings. you were ignorant to his teasing, which results to him pouting and sulking at some point.

you two were polar opposites, as he presents himself as loud and confident in his abilities. you, on the other hand, maintained a stoic and distant approach. he observes that if he puts his own life on the line, or using his Foul Legacy form, he could see your composure break whenever he puts himself in danger. his heart twinges a little, but he is honored to be the subject of your affection. instead of looking at your usual aloof expression, all he could see was worry in your eyes and in your aura whenever he decides to do something reckless.

he spars with you occasionally, and he is amazed on how strong you are, and how powerful your attacks are compared to his. you were also immensely fast, almost leaving Childe in a state of shock. your speed was what surprised him the most, really. because of this, he asks you how you do it, it is up to you to decide, but most of the time, you decline. you mastered swordsmanship very well, and surprises Childe even if he uses his own hydro blades. he almost has a hard time keeping up with your blows and your consistent attacks, due to how skilled and how fast you adapt in battle.

if you have a breathing technique similar to Giyuu's, he might think that it was a hydro vision, due to your sword being included in your hydro infused attacks. but he realized this was not the case when you showed him almost all your water breathing forms, especially the 11th one (it was like his whale attack). you were extremely overpowered and even if Childe has all his 3 forms, he knew he can't be better than you in battle, and he constantly praises you after each one.

overall, a pretty good relationship. even if both of you were polar opposites, you work well together. both of you specialize in hydro-related attacks, and sometimes, you give each other advice on how to handle things. Childe does not worry about you in his line of work, knowing that you could absolutely destroy every enemy in your path.

The Vienna cast

Me when life starts to get too hard:

Shinobu never really put love first, it was always an afterthought. Even when her older sister Kanae would gush about the cute and polite men she had encountered that day, Shinobu couldn’t really see the big deal. Sure, she could appreciate a handsome face, but she couldn’t exactly see herself being attracted to one. So while Kanae went on and on, Shinobu would quietly hum in acknowledgment and busy herself with other tasks. It wouldn’t be until years later that Shinobu was forced to face her confusing relationship with what she was attracted to. You had gotten injured, landing yourself a week stay at the infirmary with Shinobu as your doctor. You were kind, reserved but talkative, your smile made her heart thump wildly in her chest. For the first time, Shinobu thinks she finally understands the reason Kanae would gush about this feeling… the feeling of attraction. She nearly cried from relief after leaving your room, after having that realization. For years it lingered in her mind, what if there was something wrong with her? Why couldn’t she feel attracted to the men her sister gushed about? Turns out, she was focusing her attention on the wrong people. She was attracted to women this whole time. She took on her new found realization with pride, making advances with you slowly to see if you would reciprocate. When you did? All bets were off, Shinobu made you hers, there and then in that infirmary. Already addicted to the high of being in love with you.

Hunting

It is unlikely that humans are the only predator species to achieve sapience in the galaxy.

In order to be a successful predator one has to be intelligent enough to learn your prey's movements and be able to think ahead to what they're going to do next but also be flexible enough in your thinking that you can improvise if the situation chances. If you don't have this elasticity, you won't be a very successful predator.

Humans are very successful predators.

Greg bent down low and spoke as quietly as he could to the worried Sefigan next to him. "I need you to stay as still as you can. I'm going to go around, and try and surprise the Gren guarding the exit."

The three Sefigans, caught between wanting to obey Greg and staying silent but also trying to communicate that they thought it was suicide to do so started shaking.

"No, no, it'll be fine. I've been watching him. He's not really paying attention." Greg stood silently and put one finger to his lips, then smiled.

Moving much quieter than one would think given his mass, Greg crept away, hunched down just a little to keep motion out of the tops of the bushes they used to hide. The Sefigans watched in horrified fascination as Greg would take a few steps and then freeze, not even breathing while he watched the Gren.

As he walked, he made no noise at all over the soft sand, his feet finding purchase slowly. The Sefigans, a small furry prey species from a rocky mountainous world felt very old fears from the most early parts of their brains while watching him hunt the Gren.

The Gren guard was panning slowly as he guarded the exit, his fur flat, his eyes dull and his mouthparts drooping. If one knew a bit about Gren physiology one could easily see that he was bored and tired. His shift wasn't due to end for another 3 demi-cycles and nothing usually ever happened on this exit.

When Greg was no more than 2 meters away, he reached down and picked up a stone, no larger than a comm badge. He raised his arm and in one silent fluid motion, tossed the stone high and far over his head, to hide its origin. It clattered against the wall on the far side of the pen, opposite to where Greg was standing. The noise and motion caught the Gren's eye and his whole body swung over to where the stone landed.

His back was turned to Greg.

Greg bent his legs low building energy and took two steps and lept onto the Gren's back. His higher mass bowled the taller but much lighter Gren over and the Gren's head hit the stone with a hollow thwack.

Greg jumped up off the Gren and checked him quickly. He was dead. Trotting quickly over to where the Sefigans were still hiding he motioned for them to follow.

Still terrified, they followed this... ambush predator they were scared of and by the time they reached him, he had gotten the comm out of the Gren's pack and was fiddling with a ring that had complicated studs all around it, fitting them against the door until one clicked and the door hissed open.

Minutes later they were all running across the desert to the canal below where they had hoped to cling to the side of a barge and float to the spaceport.

"Human Greg! Human Greg!" The smallest Sefigan called as they jogged down the sandy hill towards the canal.

"What is it Li? Can it wait?"

"That was amazing! I've never seen a human hunt before! Is that how they all do it?"

"Not really? Humans developed as persistence hunters, not ambush hunters, but as you well know, skills can be taught."

"Persistence hunter?"

"Yeah, my ancestors would pick an animal out of a herd and run after it. As long as we didn't overexert ourselves we could just... run until it died."

The three Sefigans looked at each other as they jogged. Greg wasn't breathing heavily as they went towards the canal, but all three of them were nearly at their limit and would need a long time to rest when they were safe.

"Human Greg, you scare us." The tallest Sefigan looked back at the holding compound and then back at Greg. "But, not as much as we were scared of what the Gren would have done to us."

Greg smiled showing his wide, large, white teeth. "In this world, sometimes you need to be scary." He looked at the canal. "Come on, the water isn't too cold, let's get in and swim towards that barge. It's not too far."
