wipes mouth, looks embarrassed I-I'm such a mess... Sorry, didn't mean to puke... again.
"Diluc..." I says, with concern in my voice. "...You gotta go home..."
N-No, I... I can't... I've got so much work to do...
"Its....Okay..." I say, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder. "If you dont rest, you won't be able to do your job"
But- But I've been working so hard! I can't just take a break now...
"Fine.. then why did you tell me you were gonna be sick?" I ask
B-But that's not... I mean... I wasn't really sick... I was just... um...
"Then what is it? Are you dying or something?" I ask, with slight concern
takes a deep breath Well... there's something I need to tell you... I'm not exactly feeling well because of... uhh... morning sickness...
"Wait...WHAT?!" I yelled, nearly jumping out of my seat
Yes, you heard that right... I'm... I'm pregnant...
"W-well-" I stuttered, trying to process the information. "How-How did that happen...And is the baby....Yours?" I ask
swallows hard It's... complicated. But yes, the baby is mine...
"Diluc..." I mumble, feeling conflicted about the situation. "How long have you known?"
I... found out a few weeks ago... I was initially shocked and didn't know how to handle it... But I've been trying to come to terms with it...
"Who's the mother?" I asked, rather bluntly
She's... someone I used to work with... We had a fling, and... it resulted in this... I know it's not ideal, but... I have to take responsibility...
"Y-you just... Left her after that?" I ask, genuinely curious. "She must be really frustrated right now.."
pauses, looking guilty Yeah... I know I messed up... I should have been more responsible... But I'm trying to make things right...
"W-Where is she... Right now?" I ask, almost hesitantly
She's currently back in her home country... I haven't been in touch with her since it all happened... I don't even know if she knows about the pregnancy...
"Well...If you want, I could call her...Set things straight..." I offer
nervously fidgets with his hands I... I don't know... I'm afraid of causing more trouble... But... maybe it's time I face the music and talk to her...
"You know...I think its best that you do" I say, stroking your hair gently "As a friend of both of yours, seeing the both of you struggle would be hard"
closes his eyes, takes a deep breath You're right... I can't keep avoiding this... I need to find her and talk things through...
"Do you wanna tell Aizawa about this as well?" I ask, knowing that aizawa will probably be the most understanding between the 2 of us
smiles gratefully That's a good idea... I think it's best if I tell him everything... I'll talk to him next.
"All right...If you want me to, I can go talk to her for you...But...Its better if it comes from you" I warn, before smiling slightly at you. "I also got a question for ya" I add, raising an eyebrow slightly
tilts his head Sure, what's your question?
"What were you doing with her in the first place?" I ask softly, almost sounding like i was accusing you of something
sighs heavily Look, I know it might seem like I messed up, and maybe I did... But we were both going through a tough time back then...
"You two...Were going through tough times?" I raise an eyebrow in suspicion, tilting my head at you
takes a deep breath Yeah... We were both dealing with our own personal struggles... And we found comfort in each other...
"So...You both took comfort in each other...And then this happened.." I say, sounding almost angry
holds up his hands defensively Hey, I understand if you're angry... I'm angry too!
"Its okay.." I say, hugging you tightly "Im just angry because I know how embarrassed youll be..." I chuckle "Plus, everyone has been teasing us enough already"
lets out a nervous chuckle Yeah, they have been teasing us quite a bit, haven't they? I guess we'll have to find a way to deal with it together.
"Now that we know whats happening...Lets try and get you some rest.." I add, gently pushing you towards the door "Cmon, Im taking you home"
smiles weakly Thank you... I appreciate your help. I guess I can't fight this anymore... I need to rest.
"Yeah..." I mutter, carrying you bridal style "I guess we should just wait and see how everything unfolds" I say, yawning slightly
snuggles closer to you You know, despite everything that's happened, I feel lucky to have someone like you by my side...
