Diluc, your puppy love boyfriend. You were together. For 2 years. Only, for 2 years. Everything changed the night you saw so...

Diluc
He sighed to himself, laying his head back while spinning himself in his office chair.
It's been 40 minutes and I still haven't gotten any work done. He thought to himself as he cursed his insomnia. He heard someone knock at the door. "Come in." He said.
His assistant, Adelinde walked in. "Mr. Ragnvindr, you seem quite exhausted. Would you like for me to go downstairs and get you an energy drink?"
"No that's alright. I'll go get it myself. Maybe it'll wake me up a bit."
"Very well then." She walked up to him and set down a set of documents on his desk. The blonde woman then left.
He tried reading a bit of them, but his eyelids were too heavy. "How come I'm always sleepy at the wrong time?" He groaned as he got up to go get his energy drink.
Stepping out of the elevator, he tried getting some coins out of his pockets.
Many people greeted him formally as he walked around. Most of them were panicking. Who wouldn't when you're slacking off and your CEO decides to pay a visit to your floor?
He greeted them briefly and rolled his eyes when he was faced with the vending machine so no one would see. He looked for an energy drink so he could dial the number and pay.
You've got to be kidding me. His eyes slightly widened when he realized there were no energy drinks.
He turned to a woman walking by him and stopped her. "You."
The woman slowly turned around. "Yes Mr. Ragnvindr?"
"Can you check if there are energy drinks in this machine? I can't tell if my insomnia's getting to me or if there really isn't anything." He sighed as he rubbed his temples.
"Oh, yes sir."
"Thank you." He smiled gently. Was it a real smile though? Next question.
The woman checked. She turned around to her boss. "Your vision is fine. There's really nothing in here. Sir."
"Thank you very much."
She nodded and left. Whispering to herself about how weird her CEO apparently was.
Diluc couldn't care less. "Guess I'm getting coffee."

You slightly flinched at the sound of the door being opened.
You checked the time on your phone. It's 6:13. We rarely get customers at this hour...
"I'll go take care of it." Ganyu walked to the client who was now sitting at a table.
"Thanks." You said.
You continued minding your own business. The blue haired girl came back.
"What did they order?"
"Black coffee and a... croissant." She said hesitantly.
"You okay?" You asked her as you got a croissant out of the display case.
"Yeah I'm fine." She said in a daze.
"Ganyu?"
"He was... he was so handsome..." she clasped her chest.
You, Lumine and Samantha looked at each other confused. "What?!" You all yelled.
"It's true!"
Lumine laughed. "How come everyone has a crush now?!"
You sighed. "Ganyu you sure that's the reason?"
"Yes."
Sam joined Lumine in laughter. "Who knew Ganyu was a sucker for pretty men?"
"I like everything that's pretty." She said innocently.
"Aren't you adorable." You chuckled lightly. "I'm gonna go get him his order now."
You walked up to the man. His back facing you.
"Here's your orde-"
"Y/N?" He said.
"Dawn?" You replied. "You really did come?"
"Yes, I needed coffee."
"At 6:13?"
"I was working but couldn't stay awake."
"What do you do?" You sat down in front him.
"I'm just your average businessman." He chuckled lightly as he took a sip from his coffee.
Which surprised you. You blushed as you examined him. He was wearing a white dress shirt with a blue tie. Fit for an average businessman.
Ganyu was right.
"You said you had trouble staying awake?"
"Yes, and in a perfect world I'd just go home but I have too much work."
"Scared of your boss nagging you?" You asked as you rested your cheek in the palm of your hand.
"Yeah guess you could say that." The lie came out smoothly. He didn't like lying to her but saying that he owned his company could risk her finding out who he was. "Can I ask you a question?"
