Chilumi: When our constellations connect
Childe was tired, coming back to the makeshift bed in the tent they set up in dragonspine with the traveler. She might be small but she’s like a magnet to trouble, they faced treasure hoarders and hilichurls all day, something Childe was used to yet even the greatest can fall tired. 
“Ajax” Lumine called, her voice was sweet
Normally he would reply with the same flirty endeavor but he just flopped onto bed and well- slept.
-----------------------
Groaning the youngest Harbinger woke up when the sun shone from the tent, birds chirping, the wind tickling his skin and a warm bed... a warm bed? He woke up in a start as he looked around, this wasn’t where he slept. Was he kidnapped? 
He Immediately stood up and was ready to fight, but the surroundings, it was nostalgic... warm, then he saw him on the wall- he saw Lumine on the wall too! He slightly slapped himself to get himself together and took a clear look around, it seems to be like one of those expensive houses in Snezhnaya that they were looking at the other day, he promised her to buy them one after they get married.
His eyes widened- Lumine! He walked down in hopes for finding his female comrade. Well he did feel her presence so he wasn’t that worried
“Ajax?” He heard her voice, she might’ve sensed his presence
Making himself known he came inside but gaped at what he saw, Lumine was cooking... well she did cook most of the time but this time is different, she wasn’t wearing her normal clothes, she was wearing a long flowy sundress, she looked ethereal in it. 
It appeared that She was making breakfast, he breathed in a scent of Coffee and pancakes 
“Ojou-chan..?” He called out to her for what felt like ages since he last did
the said girl turned around, his eyed widening once more, there wasn’t just the two of them, there was another living being inside of her
“Y-You’re...?” He pointed to her stomach and she snorted
Putting the spatula down and walking over to him she touched his hand and brought it to her stomach where he felt a kick making him gasp in shock
“For 6 months now, Ajax” She said sweetly
He loved the way she said his name, as if it wasn’t tainted at all but... she’s been pregnant for 6 months?! Just where the hell is he? Is this the dream? Oh Archons don’t wake him up if it really was a dream
“....What’s their name?” he asked with albeit a bit of hesitance
Childe’s a family man, there’s no doubt in that but having their own little kid running around just keeps his giddy
“It’s....” Lumine’s voice blurred out as she said their unborn child’s name until black had surrounded his vision
He tried running back to where Lumine and their child was but they collectively got farther away until...
-----------------------
“Ajax..! Childe Tartaglia!” He awoke with a start and looked everywhere
He was back, makeshift bed and it’s coldness and all but she was still there, he was spooning her
“Lumine...?” His morning voice was raspy
“Mattaku mo~ If I knew you were gonna sleep in I wouldn’t have brought you along with me” She said
His hug on her tightened not registering what she said afterwards... Maybe if it was all over... if they find a way, maybe in another universe... it’d be possible for them to have the future he dreamt about but Childe deep down knew that it wouldn’t be the case. 
The traveler would leave as soon as she finds her brother, the constellations taking her anywhere, like a star in the vast sky
He shook his head, that was a problem for the future, he bounced back into his playful demeanor 
“Yet you’re still in my arms”
The traveler went silent, in fear he had angered her this early he was about to apologize when she spoke
“Yet I’m still in your arms” 
She agreed to his previous statement, it made him flustered and she knew it, maybe if the Gods are gracious enough, they will let their constellations connect.
