If it's not a problem I'd like “ i'm not going anywhere. “

With Koyanskaya with a fem reader, I NEED her being soft please

☽ ◦ ◦ ◦ ✩ ❤ ✩ ◦ ◦ ◦ ☾

You're shaking. But not in the way that Koyanskaya finds amusing. It's a subtle tremor in your form that makes you hug and hold onto yourself so you can continue forward without falling apart. It's a rare sight, despite your circumstances. So much so that none of your peers in the command room seem to be looking out for it, preparing you for the next rayshift as though nothing is wrong.

"I think it's time for your mandated break." She says loudly, giving you her usual sly smile not giving away the pity thrumming in her chest. You and everyone else look at her with surprise, but she shoots everyone else a glare that dares them to speak up.

"Huh but there's a mission-" you try to reason, but her hands are on your shoulders guiding you out into the hall before you can even finish your words.

"Now, now just because humanity has been wiped off the face of the Earth for the moment doesn't mean Union rules don't apply. With me." Her voice continues with her overly jovial tone until your both out in the hallway, her expression shifting. "Honestly, rayshifting in your current condition, what a foolish idea. You can't even hold yourself together." She shakes her with a sigh.

"Koyanskaya-" your voice is wavering and she can't let you continue. She couldn't think of anything worse than watching you breakdown into tears in the hallway, especially not when there was a possibility of someone walking out an accusing her as the culprit for your tears.

"I don't need explanations. You're so kind hearted for all I know you could be upset over something as small as a bunny." It's not that simple. She knows that. If only it were a bunny and she could mock you about being too soft for someone that bested a beast like her. "And besides, I'd going to assume that it has something to with the insane amount of pressure on you everyday. Seriously, I wonder how your cute little body can handle it all and not act out in cruelty." The very human response to distress that she's witnessed over and over again. But never from you.

And even now, as you teeter on the edge of misery, you shoot her a weak grin.

"Maybe when this all over you should help me sue for emotional damages. If you decide to stick around." She laughs at that.

"Oh it would be messy, but we'd have a case~" She pauses, grabbing your face in her hands. "And don't be silly, I'm not going anywhere, I thought I made that quite clear. I have plenty of time to kill after all." She releases you from her hold and gestures for you to follow behind her. Determined to ensure that you relax before getting thrown into yet another impossible scenario that even makes her head spin.

the thought of accidentally tripping into castorice's arms and dying or nearly dying from it (because from what we can tell when she almost kills the trailblazer, it takes a moment for death to take hold) and then her having to deal with the ramifications of that after having been so cautious around them for so long would be really really cool to see

yep, here you go!

castorice has been the maiden of death for so long that being careful around people is just her nature. take empty side paths, keep her distance from people, and don't even act like she may touch someone; life is too precious for her to make careless mistakes. but when you appear in her life, sweet and vibrant, she feels drawn to you like a butterfly to nectar. not for the first time and certainly not the last, she dreams of a world in which she could hold you and grasp your hand tightly. and it's likely that you are not used to keeping the same distance she is, so she has to do it for you. over time... you make her so happy that she almost forgets about things like curses.

it's pure bad luck that you happen to trip over your own feet that day, and even more so that castorice is that one you reach out to, with her being by your side so often. your hands brush her arms for the first and last time, and you notice the softness of her skin before the peculiar chill that spikes in your fingertips and the numbness that starts to set in. you hear her gasp and take a hasty step back, letting you catch yourself on the ground with no small amount of horror in her heart. she felt your touch as much as you did, and her eyes are wide as she looks you over. she is relieved to see that you're not crumbling to nothing, but she still trembles with fear at the thought that she nearly lost you so easily. you right yourself with hardly more than a bruise to show for your accident; with a forced optimism, you try to reassure her that you're totally fine.

castorice is still shaken by the incident even days later, and even when she has the courage to spend time with you, she stands even further away from you out of an abundance of caution. she hasn't come to terms with the idea that she may be the cause of your demise one day, just for a complete accident, and she needs time to sort through her feelings about this. it ends up with her staying inside for a while instead of going out to see you. unfortunately, it makes you feel lonely not to have her calm, soothing presence around you all the time. texting and calling her just isn't the same. you may have to be the one to seek her out first, because castorice will get too in her head about hurting you.

as much as she's tempted to avoid you and let you have a nice peaceful life without her, she still feels bad when she sees your pitiful expression asking her to stay in your life. she is easily moved by your feelings even when common sense should say otherwise. "please, i just want you to be safe..." she says, her excuse sounding weak to her ears. but castorice has had such a lonely life, and she loves you possibly more than she's loved anyone. her friends wouldn't want her to shut herself away either, knowing how much you make her happy. still, the memory of being just a moment from killing you always lingers in the back of her mind even on good days, and it shows in her gentle smile as she remains a safe distance from you at all times.

ahem

Grace Madison (trying) to comfort a vulnerable reader? she sees you crying, tells you to "man up", then realizes she screwed up

Grace trying to comfort you

Grace is really bad at showing vulnerability and scolds and insults anyone that does so around her, and unfortunately even if she does love you you're not really that much of an exception

She calls you a soybean all the time too and that goes double for whenever she thinks you're being weak, which is basically whenever you're feeling sad

She's not doing that to intentionally hurt you or make you feel bad. She really doesn't want to do that. It's that she almost never lets things get to her, and so she gets sad and cries very rarely, so in her mind you're just being weak and vulnerable and letting small things overwhelm you so she tries to "help you" by telling you that crying about it won't help

But of course, when she realizes it's something actually serious, she'll tone her usual aggression down and try her best to comfort you emphasis on trying because she's mostly pretty bad at this kind of stuff and has no idea about what to say to calm you down but at least she's let you hug her and cry in her chest so that's something

"Hey soyb- I mean......y/n.....I'm sorry for being so aggressive and everything I just didn't realize this affected you so much... I'm just....really sorry, but....if you want to cry it's fine....I'll be here for you"

For a Sailor Moon short, how about Rei having an S/O that's the calmer one between them?

[At the Hikawa Shrine – evening settles in, Rei and Y/N walking together while holding hands]

[Rei ranting aggressively, clearly irritated after another spat with Usagi, Y/N watches quietly from the steps with a smile]

Rei : that girl is so infuriating! I don’t know how she manages to make me lose my temper every single time!–

[Y/N starts stroking her hair]

M!Reader : Mm, Maybe because you care more than you want to admit ^v^

[Rei immediately stares daggers at Y/N not cause he's stroking her hair but because of what he said–

Rei : What’s that supposed to mean?!

[Y/N still remain with his gentle smile]

M!Reader : Chuckles... It means your fire’s part of what makes you so you, But if you burn too hot, you’ll wear yourself out... Like right now–i love listening to you but I worry from time to time that you'll suddenly pass out! ^v^✨

[Rei pauses, blinking as her anger falters]

[Rei then stops holding his hand, stands Infront of him, plops her face onto Y/N's chest and let out a groan]

[Y/N just pats her hair gently, letting her let it all out]

Rei blushing : ...it's annoying how you know how to calm me down!

[the-ultimate-puppeteer]

[At night – Y/N laying on the ground as he stares up at all the stars in space, peacefully... Stelle laying on the ground next to her, both staring up with awe]

[Y/N let out a sigh of relief]

M!Reader : Sighs... Staring at the stars is really something else... It... Doesn't even require you do anything difficult, just lay down and stare up at it and yet... It's so relaxing.... I'm glad I get to do this with you... Stelle...

Stelle : I've done this before you know, it really does feel peaceful...

M!Reader : Chuckles... Like the rain while being inside your house... The stars are always so beautiful–

[Y/N stares to the side to look at stelle only to see her–Lying to the side, clenched hand on the side of her head with that damn sly smirk]

Stelle : I got a beautiful star right here and he's already prettier then the ten out of ten stars out there✨

M!Reader : .....

[the-ultimate-puppeteer]

[The house of the Hearth feels strangely quiet tonight – Y/N leans back on the bed, reading a book with the blanket covering his waist, when the door opens and Arlecchino steps inside, her usual sharp aura stopped trailing when she sees Y/N, pausing, notice him waiting]

[Arlecchino raising a brow]

Arlecchino : ....You’re still awake? I thought I told you to get some rest...

[Y/N smirks faintly]

M!Reader : And I thought you promised not to work yourself half to death every night, Looks like we’re both liars, huh?

[Arlecchino’s lips twitch, almost a smile—but hides it, walking closer, as she removes her gloves with careful precision]

Arlecchino : You’ve grown bolder, speaking to me like that, Most would tremble just meeting my eyes

M!Reader : Yeah, well I’m not “most,” am I?~

[Y/N then taps the empty space on the bed beside him, his smirk deepening, Arlecchino pauses, one brow arching higher at his silent invitation]

Arlecchino : ...not afraid I might bite, tonight?

M!Reader : it's really a win win scenario for me if you do or don't~

[the-ultimate-puppeteer]

[Inside Charlie’s bedroom — Y/N wakes up to find himself tangled up in Charlie’s embrace, her arms snugly wrapped around him like she’s afraid he’ll vanish, He smiles at the sight]

M!Reader : Always possessive in your sleep, hon...♡

[Y/N carefully sits up on the edge of the bed(but her arms stay locked around his waist)He rubs his eyes, stifling a yawn, and makes a slow move to stand—]

Charlie : Nooooo...

[Y/N glances back, Charlie's eyes are still shut, her hair adorably messy, her nightclothes rumpled, but her grip on Y/N hasn’t loosened in the slightest]

M!Reader : ...How are you–Nevermind... You want me to grab you something hon?

Charlie : Nooooo...

M!Reader : ...

...

[Several hours later — Y/N stands near the counter, brewing coffee, the most impressive is charlie’s persistence, Eyes still closed, hair just as adorably messy as when she woke up, she’s draped over Y/N from behind—arms snug around his waist and stomach, her chin resting lazily on the top of his head]

[the-ultimate-puppeteer]

[In the jade chamber – sunlight arises, Y/N is carefully examining a map spread across the polished table, Y/N focus intensely but immediately caught off guard hearing heels clicking against the floor behind him and sees ningguang approaching]

[Ningguang with a faint smile]

Ningguang : You seem lost in thought, Should I be worried you’re plotting something without me?

[Y/N straightening nervously]

M!Reader : O-Of course not miss ningguang! was just double-checking the routes, Making sure everything lines up perfectly!

[Ningguang glides closer, leaning just slightly over the table, her fingers brushing the edge of the map near his, her golden eyes lock on Y/N's face]

Ningguang : Hm… so diligent, Tell me, are you this focused on every task, or is it simply because I’m watching?

[Y/N averting his gaze as ningguang smirks at him with intentions]

M!Reader blushing : Ahem M-Maybe… a little of both....

[Ningguang chuckles softly and with a deliberate slowness, she lets one fingertip trail across the map until it touches Y/N's hand]

Ningguang : Good, Because I have respect for those who put their best effort at their hearts to their duties and... You seem to be very good at that~

M!Reader blushing : ....T-Thank you ma'am!

[the-ultimate-puppeteer]

fic idea

Could you imagine if one of the higher ranked fatui threatened or even raised their hands to the reader for not "respecting" them by bowing, kissing their hand, or something like that, not knowing he's the S/O of the Knave? Or worse, of Signora herself?

[A lavish fatui hall – a higher ranking fatui officer staring towards Y/N, clearly irritated after Y/N accidentally bumped into him, Y/N at first apologise genuinely but he made it... Difficult...]

" You even dare to still stand so casually after bumping into someone like me. . . "

M!Reader : I clearly apologise, you're the one making this more difficult then it needs to be–

" A pathetic apology is the only thing you can speak out? No bow, no kind of respect whatsoever... Do you take me for a fool."

M!Reader : From the way you're acting? Yeah, and somehow a fool would be making more sense than you... So if you excuse me–

" Why you. "

[The fatui raised his hand threateningly, claws coming out from his glove– Y/N barely flinches]

" Perhaps a few scars would do your insolent– "

[As he was about to strike, Arlecchino from behind instantly caught his claws in her hand– Her expression doesn't even try to look calm, her stares, her X pupils were staring daggers at him]

Arlecchino : You're move.

" T-The Knave?! W-What are you–

Arlecchino : I said, You're move.

[The fatui agent just freezes in place not knowing what to do, if he moves he'll surely get killed but he doesn't he'll also get killed]

Arlecchino : I don't think you understand.

[Arlecchino immediately used her other hand to grab onto the fatui's other arm and almost with ease twisting the entire thing]

[The fatui immediately let out a groan of absolute pain–CLANK! The agent stares back at his claws and sees it's completely destroyed by her hand]

Arlecchino : Such a waste.

[In an instant arlecchino grabs a tight hold onto his neck, Till–

M!Reader : Okay okay–Arle! That's enough

Arlecchino : ....

[Arlecchino who was about to slice his neck in half stopped, the fatui just absolutely mortified and his hearth could stop from all the beating]

[Arlecchino drags his neck and tosses him to the side, leaving him on the floor–life almost flashing before his very eyes]

[Arlecchino leans down just inches from his face, eyes still wanting to finish him off right then and there]

Arlecchino : Be grateful he is nothing like you and that you didn't land a blow on him... If you did... I would rip you out by the neck. If I even see you acting like that again, I will throw your corpse into the gutters... You're a higher rank but you're just another ant for me to dispose of if I ever find your existence not tolerable.

[The fatui breathing intensely, holding onto his neck, feeling the squeeze he just felt–shakily stands up and runs away]

Arlecchino : Are you okay, darling?

[Arlecchino said as she softly caresses Y/N's cheek with a hand as her coat draped over her, Y/N chuckles and hold onto her forearm as she continues to caress his cheek]

M!Reader : Well Uh–Now I am, Chuckles... Woah you do not mess around when you're mad

[the-ultimate-puppeteer]

Hi could you please do a shy mreader x balalaika

[In balalaika's private office at hotel Moscow - cigar smoke lingering in the air as Y/N sits across from her, absolutely fidgeting with his hands while balalaika just stares at him with a calm terrifying smile]

Balalaika : You’re more quiet then usual tonight, dear, is there a problem?

[Y/N glances away, fidgeting even more]

M!Reader : ...I just… don’t want to say something stupid in front of you

Balalaika : You do know it isn't the first time we've met before, am I correct?

[Balalaika rested her elbow on the desk, her fist propping up the side of her head]

M!Reader : i-i mean, yes it isn't the–

Balalaika : And you do notice how I wouldn't lay a single finger on that delicate face of yours?

[Y/N thought 💭]

...Delicate?–

[Y/N starting to blush, but the fidgeting didn't cease]

M!Reader blushing : Of course! But–given your-Uh... Status, Chuckles nervously... P-People would be a little–

Balalaika : But when it comes to someone like you, that just won't do...

[Balalaika pushes her chair away from her desk, but still remains seated... She then taps on her lap two times]

Balalaika : have a sit...

M!Reader : ....Blinks....Blinks....

M!Reader blushing : Excuse me?!!

Balalaika : Do I need to repeat myself?

M!Reader blushing : No!– but sitting on your lap?! That is highly–

Balalaika : Never seated on a volchitsa's lap before kotyonok? Well... Chuckles, this would be an experience of a lifetime?~

M!Reader blushing : ...Do I really–

Balalaika : it's like you said, I know that my presence can be-Chuckles... Intimidating, so take this as a way to make myself look less of a monster~

[Y/N gulps, starting to sweat–A nervous wreck now]

....

[At balalaika's private office after an hour – Y/N sitting on her lap, glancing to the other side-Having balalaika's head plopped onto his shoulder while she's writing on some paperwork]

Balalaika : Just remember… if you’re mine, you don’t need to be afraid, are you still terrified of me?~

M!Reader blushing : A bit... Yes... But I... I'll try...

[Balalaika brushing a hand through his hair, smirking]

Balalaika : Good boy.

[the-ultimate-puppeteer]

Yessss!!! I'm so glad this got answered~ I love Revy and I like that she's one of those characters that actually does seem to prefer people who are an opposite to her in varying ways

Black Lagoon girls!!!! Best girl, Revy, having her happy go lucky and energetic(bri is a male chisato) boyfriend being introduced to Rock and the black lagoon crew. They're not only shocked she has a boyfriend, but that's he's basically a sunshine boyfriend.

If possible, let's slip Eda and Shenhua in there to also react to Revys boyfriend.

[In the Lagoon Company office – afternoon, Rock sorting paperwork, Dutch reading the paper and Benny sitting on a couch while drinking a cold beer can–

[in an instant – the door got kicked open by revy, both hands in her pockets while a cigar on her lips]

"Wooah✨ nice kick babe!"✨

[A voice can be heard behind her–

Revy : Alright, assholes, stop whatever boring crap you’re doing, I got someone you need to meet

[She grabs a hold onto Y/N's forearm and surprisingly gently drags him in, a grinning guy with bright eyes and way too much energy for this room, waving at them like they’re old friends]

[Y/N immediately walks up to rock and excitedly starts shaking his hand]

M!Reader : Hello! Oh You must be Rock!–....Wow, you look more stressed than I imagined!–You must be Dutch! Nice to meet you, sir! Oh, and Benny! Cool shirt!

Rock : Blinks... Blinks... Uh… Hi! And you are…?

Revy : My boyfriend.

[....Silence, Everyone freezes]

Benny : …Wait, Your what?!

[Dutch let out a low whistle, shocked]

Dutch : Damn, Didn’t think I’d ever hear you say that word

Rock : Boyfriend. As in… you’re dating him?

Benny : You... THE revy... Dating him?

Revy : Yeah, What... you think I can’t get a guy?

Benny : No! Just… this guy?

[Benny glances at Y/N's blinding smile]

M!Reader : Guilty as charged!

[Y/N wraps an arm around Revy’s neck]

M!Reader : She’s the sweetest, funniest and don't forget most caring—

Revy : Alright Alright, dial it back before I start lookin’ bad..

...

[Revy leaning back in chair, feet on table – Meanwhile Infront of the table being eda and shenhua staring surprisingly focus on Y/N who's in the background of revy]

[Y/N can be seen holding a tiny frog in his palms, staring at it with glimmer]

Shenhua : Oh, he is indeed cute though–

Eda : What, in the fuck knuckles is this

Revy : he's my boyfriend you intolerant shit...

Eda : Woah! Cut the hate breaks hot head, I'm just surprised someone would actually date you! especially pinkie pie over there from my little pony... But, dang, you were not kidding when you said he's adorable~–

M!Reader : Whatchu guys talking about?✨

[Y/N bends down a little next to revy, the frog who was still on his palms jumps onto revy's shoulder which surprisingly she didn't mind]

[Revy grabs a hold onto Y/N's chin and moves it near her lips]

Revy : Nothing, sugar, just let me deal with this for a minute 'kay?

[Revy leans in and kisses Y/N on the cheek]

[the-ultimate-puppeteer]

Could I request something with the mature ladies and the stoic ladies (and anyone you want to write ofc)

They're watching their S/O chat with another lady and are feeling conflicted on thinking whether S/O is flirting with the other lady. They walk up to check up on them just to have their concerns destroyed by S/O giving them some good old Public Display of Affection.

Bonus points if we see how flustered they get.

can't hide that smile...

how they react to pda!

various characters x gn!reader

ft: aglaea, bronya, himeko, navia, keqing, yae miko, shenhe

warnings: slight jealousy (obv)

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

aglaea -`✮´-

• aglaea will spot you (with her threads) laughing with another guest from across the room, and her chest will register a small, clinical tightening. she'll watch for a beat, evaluating tone, posture, and the cadence of your voices. is it friendly? flirtatious?

• she will approach slowly, because she prefers to observe before intervening. the walk towards you will be quiet, almost predatory in calmness

• you'll see her slowly approach you out of the corner of your eye. even without looking, you can feel the weight of her gaze upon your shoulders

• when aglaea is finally within reaching distance, you'll swiftly pull aglaea to you by the sleeve, lean in, and press a kiss to her lips like it's the most natural thing in the world

• the usually composed aglaea can only blink in surprise, the hint of a startled smile tugging at one corner. and when you pull away, her composure cracks into something like stunned delight, a small, pleased breath escaping her lips

• you'll loop your arm around aglaea and introduce her as "your partner in crime". aglaea will respond with a cold, clipped greeting... that dissolves into a soft laugh.

• she'll definitely scold you later, but tonight her ears will stay a slight, dusty pink

fluster level: 3/10

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

bronya -`✮´-

• when bronya first spots you talking with the stranger, she tells herself that it's nothing. what's wrong with you talking to others? plus, you've always been friendly. still , her sharp eyes can’t help but linger on the way the stranger leans in, laughing softly at something you said

"am i overthinking this? or are they truly enjoying this person's company more than mine?"

• it's not jealously she feels, exactly, but a restless unease that makes her gloves tighten into faint fists at her side

• you'll notice bronya out of the corner of your eye, standing straighter than usual, lips pressed into a thin line. she's not storming over, but she's close enough that you know she's keeping an ear on your conversation

• eventually she'll approach. her intent is only to check in, maybe offer a polite word to remind the stranger of her presence. but before she can speak, you turn toward her with a bright smile, reaching out to lace your fingers with hers and tugging her closer. you then lean in and brush a kiss against her cheek, or perhaps press one firmly to her lips without hesitation

• bronya freezes. her composure cracks instantly. eyes blown wide, breath caught, a bright red blush blooming across her face. she'll try to say something, but will end up stuttering out an incomprehensive sentence instead

"w-wh-what are you...doing? right here? in front of everyone?" she'll stammer

• in an attempt to hide from the onlookers, she will step closer to you, slipping an arm around your waist before burying her face against your shoulder. the warmth of her blush will seep through your shirt, and though she will stay silent, you will feel the faintest tremor of her sigh

"you...you are insufferable..."

fluster rating: 10/10

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

himeko -`✮´-

• himeko usually isn't the jealous type, but a small flicker of doubt will spark in her chest as she continues to watch quietly. the way their eyes seemingly move up and down your body. the way you seem to be flushing under their gaze. himeko will continue to watch quietly, sipping her coffee, telling herself it's nothing

• when she finally has had enough, she'll gracefully make her way over, her presence calm and composed as always. you don't even notice himeko until she places a gentle hand on your arm or shoulder.

• the doubt in her heart will dissolve the moment you turn around, lighting up at her arrival. without hesitation, you'll lean in and give her an affectionate kiss on the cheek.

• himeko will freeze for half a second. despite being a composed leader, she isn't immune to surprises, especially when it comes to you being openly affectionate in front of others. her refined mask will crack, the corner of her lips will quiver up into a soft, almost bashful smile. and, if you look closely enough you might even be able to catch the faintest blush bloom across her cheeks!

• she'll let out a soft chuckle, ruffling your hair as a form of payback

"darling...feeling bold today?"

• once the conversation wraps up, himeko will lean closer and slip her hand into yours with a gentle but affectionate squeeze. she won't admit it outloud, but she'll be touched. your single act of affection will have silenced every lingering doubt she had in the span of a heartbeat.

• but be warned, you were the one who broke the pda barrier. for now on, himeko will no longer hold herself back when the urge to show affection strikes, whenever it may be

fluster level: 4/10

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

navia -`✮´-

• navia's first instinct is to trust you, but her heart betrays her. she's confident in herself and in your relationship, but when she sees you chatting that warmly with someone else, a little string tightens in her chest

"don't be silly...they wouldn't..."

• she'll try and rationalize the situation. tell herself the stranger is just asking for directions. maybe you're just being polite? but she notices how animated you look, and how close you're standing, and she starts feeling that creeping heat of jealousy that she doesn't often let herself indulge in

• navia won't sit on the feeling for too long, sauntering over to you with a confident smile. she'll try to play it casual, but there will be a tiny waver in her voice when she greets you.

• whether it's slipping an arm around her waist, leaning in to press a quick kiss to her cheek, or intertwining your fingers, whatever you do has navia's heart doing a somersault. that show of affection catches her completely off guard

• you will practically see navia's confidence crumble away. her cheeks flush pink, her golden eyes go wide, and her hand instantly flies to her hat like she's trying to hide behind the brim

"o-oh...well! i see someone missed me..." she laughs nervously, stumbling over he usual eloquence

• once she recovers though, with a playful little tug on your sleeve to bring you closer, she’ll lean in and press a lingering kiss to your lips! take that!

"you do really know how to make a girls heart race, don't you?"

fluster level: 5/10

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

keqing -`✮´-

• keqing is sharp, focused, and not one to let distractions pull her away from her responsibilities… but when her eyes catch you talking animatedly with another person...

• she'll try to convince herself that she's reading too much into it, but the longer she watches, the more her mind spirals

• she won't storm over right away. instead, she'll try to get your attention from afar by showing signs of displeasure. crossing her arms a little tighter, tapping her foot against the ground, and glaring at you

• eventually her patience will fray. with a brisk and assertive step, she'll walk over under the guise of "checking in"

• even just casually wrapping an arm around her waist or lacing your fingers through hers in front of the other person will have keqing's heart racing. her entire body will stiffen, her breath will catch, and she'll sputter out a quick "w-what are you doing?!", her sharp tone betraying her nerves more than her irritation

• she'll try to pull back at first, her pride clashing with the heat rising in her chest, but the sincerity in your gesture softens her resistance. she won't ever admit it out loud, but she loves that you so confidently showed who you belong to

• her fluster doesn't stop at just her voice. her cheeks will be bright, bright red, eyes will be looking everywhere but yours, and she'll be muttering something about you being "so careless" or "unbelievable"

• after she's recovered a little, she'll try to salvage her composure by lecturing you in her usual straightforward way. "you can't just do things like that out of nowhere...!" but the tremor in her voice and the way she's still clinging tightly to your sleeve gives her away

• if you dare tease her about how cute she looks when she's flustered...you might actually be banished to sleeping on the couch...

fluster rating: 9/10

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

yae miko -`✮´-

• yae's default reaction is amusement, her lips curling into a sly smile as she thinks "my, my...what's this? are they trying to make me jealous?" even if she's not entirely serious, there's a little pang of possessiveness hidden beneath her teasing thoughts. but, she'll remain at a distance, pretending to be occupied with her own business while her ears are subtly twitching in your direction

• she tells herself that she is above petty jealously, but the longer the conversation goes on, the more she can't resist. eventually, she'll glide over with a sigh, ready to playfully insert herself into the conversation

• but before she can even open her mouth, you slip an arm around her waist and pull her close, close enough to press a kiss to her temple and introduce her as your partner.

• the reaction is sadly small, but immediate. her smirk will falter for a second, her eyes will widen just a tad, and a faint pink blush will dust her cheeks

"little one...how bold of you to make such a display in front of others..."

• as soon as the stranger awkwardly dismisses themselves, yae will not waste a second. her hand will snake around your wrist with a gentle but deliberate tug, leading you away from the busy path into a quieter corner where prying eyes won't follow

"you really do enjoy keeping me on my toes, don't you?"

• before you can even offer a reply, yae leans in and closes the distance. her kiss is deep, lingering, and far more passionate than the quick little display you gave her earlier. a proper kiss.

"now we're even..."

Okay, so yesterday I was on Tenko's wiki, and apparently, in the trivia section, it says Tenko very much does have abs, but only girls are allowed to touch them. So guess what? Now I'm submitting this request that her boyfriend or her Male crush has abs touching privileges, and it gets to the point that she only let's him touch them. Since when he does it, she's a weird mix of more energy, encouragement, embarrassment, and euphoria from it.

Tenko letting you touch her abs

You always assumed tenko had abs. She was pretty muscular after all, and with how much she trained and worked out, it was a safe bet. However, you never asked her that to not invade her privacy

Your assumption was confirmed when one day you and her went to the beach and you saw her in a bikini for the first time, and she did indeed have abs, which you immediately blushed upon seeing. Tenko scolded you for staring but was very shocked by the fact that you were starting at her abs and not at her other body parts

Once you apologized and revealed to her that you kinda had a thing for abs and muscular women her attitude completely changed, she blushed and told you that it was fine and that she didn't mind at all if you stared in fact

As the time went on and you saw her abs, more and more tenko started to realize that it felt nice to have you stare at them. Whenever another guy did that, she wanted nothing more than to beat him up, but with you, it was the opposite. She actually wanted you to appreciate her muscles, sure it embarrassed her a bit, but it also made her feel somehow more energetic than usual and like every part of her body was loved

So one day, while you were cuddling, your hand casually brushed against her abs and both of you went red and kind of stayed silent for a while before tenko said "you know you can touch them if you want"

"R-really? I thought you'd never let a guy lay a single hand on you much less touch your abs"

"Yeah but....You're the exception, you're my boyfriend I know you won't do anything wrong plus.......t-that felt really nice.....a-and I'd like you to do it more"

and so from that moment on tenko not only doesn't mind at all when you come up to her and touch her abs (as long as you give her a warning of course) but actually encourages it. It feels so nice that she wants you to touch them, especially during spicy times but also just while cuddling or working out or just if you feel like it

i'm all yours

pairing: aoi asahina x gn!reader

a/n: lowkey, hina is too underrated! yes, we all like her but i still feel like she gets overshadowed a lot by others :(

“i'm yours~” you gently whispered, between peppering kisses on your girlfriend's face. aoi was giggling with each kiss you pressed on her face, in pure bliss to be with someone as sweet as you.

“say it again~!” she pleaded, a big smile on her lips, that made it impossible to deny her anything.

“i'm all yours, my love~” you repeated, before going right back to placing kisses all over your girlfriend's face.

happy birthday, arlecchino !!

a/n : hi, lilie here. i could never miss the pookie's bday. also, i could be back? might start writing again.

-warning/s ; none, just wholesome fluff for the pookie's birthday !! completely sfw with a bit of teasing at the end, but nothing too spicy.

-pairing/s ; arlecchino x reader, married.

"my beloved.."

it was a long, tiring day. the children at the house of the hearth had done their chores and had continued to spoil their father the whole day with gifts after their father had run a few errands. now, it was time for them to settle down. especially since she had not seen her wife since she had kissed her forehead while she slept before she left early.

of course, after such a day, arlecchino would love nothing more to spend it other than being with her wife. as soon as she had settled down in bed with her wife. she had taken in a deep breath, inhaling her wife's soft scent. nothing more could be considered the best time of day other than being able to finally sit down and relax with her wife after such a tiring day. however-

"beloved, where are you going?"

- it seems as if her wife had other plans. her beloved only smiles at her as she gets up from her bed and hands arlecchino her robe. arlecchino knows that this is another one of her wife's antics.

"my beloved, what are you up to?"

she asks, voice devoid of any bite, just pure warmth and love as a small smile graces her lips. she reaches out for her for a moment, her hands reverent, settling on your hips to pull her closer. "are you planning something, dearest?" she asks, and still no answer.

the smile on her wife's face definitely is enough of an answer that tells her yes but the lack of hearing her beloved's voice makes her feel a bit sulky. she's had a tiring day, she wants to hear her wife's soothing voice. it's one of the only things that can heal her aching soul apart from her presence.

her wife notices the almost sulky gaze behind the respected harbinger's stoic face. arlecchino wraps her arms around her wife's waist, pulling her close to look up at her.

her wife must not give in. it'll ruin the plan.

".. did i do something wrong? is this a punishment?" she asks, getting a bit frustrated. arlecchino was used to establishing commands that are executed swiftly with no useless dillydallying. alas, she was not in front of her subordinates. instead, she was in front of her wife, her equal.

"dearest, if this is another -"

in the corner of her wife's eyes, she sees a glint. so she leans in to kiss arlecchino to shut her up as she could hear the impatience in her tone, before pulling away wordlessly.

"beloved, where are you..?"

arlecchino didn't even finish her sentence.  oh, the harbinger was getting very impatient. she had declined her important errands and meetings just to spend more time with her family. all she wanted to do was to hold her wife for the night especially when the only time she's been able to sleep properly is when she's with her wife.

arlecchino felt like she has finally had enough. had her wife forgotten what day is it today? she had just wanted to spend this special day with her. night, even, because she still had a bit of work during the day and had went to have some tea with the children. she wasn't even able to hear her wife's voice in the morning as she had gotten up earlier than her to finish her duties for the day quickly. arlecchino got up from the bed, ready to ask her sweet wife to please continue her shenanigans for tomorrow and spend the night with her in bed only. she reached for the door, opening it and -

"happy birthday, my love."

warm and soft, the light emitting from the candle had caressed her skin softly. her wife's voice, finally, had reached her ears.

".. oh."

- was the only thing that came from arlecchino's mouth as she gazed down at the small cake on a plate in her wife's hands. behind her, were lyney, lynette and freminet.

"a.. ah, father. we may have made the cake a bit too sweet for your liking."

freminet, the ever so timid boy, had spoke up first. "ah, but we made sure to pair it with your favorite tea!" lyney pipes up, holding a tray with a hot pot of tea and a few more complementary snacks. "we made sure to keep it warm, like you asked, father. we figured you would have liked to share it with mother." lynette says, matching the stoic look on her father's face, however the subtle fondness in her eyes tells clearly that she is pleased to have made her father happy.

"mother knew that you would have wanted  a quiet evening with her to end your birthday, so she was busy planning with the other kids the whole day. had been working with them behind the scenes, so they could spend time with you too."

arlecchino blinks. the whole day, she thought her wife had been busy doing paperwork. the constant invitations from her children throughout the day had started to make sense. "i told the kids to spoil you today. we made lots of arts and crafts and baking today." her wife says, letting out a small giggle. "we made quite a mess." she says, but the look on her face tells her it was worth it.

"i wanted to be the last one to greet you today, dearest."

arlecchino's heart does flips and she swoons, however she does not show it, not in front of the kids at least. ".. thank you, i am very blessed to have such a thoughtful wife." she says, taking a deep breath. oh, how she just wanted to grab you and kiss you.

the kids, seemingly picking up on this, they look at each other and whisper goodnight as they excuse themselves. as the door shuts, arlecchino's wife makes her way to the melting harbinger in front of her.

"i appreciate it, my love. i really do, however, i missed you the whole day."

arlecchino says in a hushed tone, her hands finding it's rightful place on her wife's hips. comfy, safe. it felt so right to the harbinger.

"i know, i did too."

a kiss shared together, sweet and delightful. her wife pulls away and smiles at arlecchino.

"- but i really wanted to make tonight special for you, my beloved."

another kiss. this time, a bit more with fervor and desire. "dearest, every night is special as long as it's with you" arlecchino says, and her darling wife lets out the sweetest giggle that could be considered the most heavenly sound in the world to arlecchino. "didn't think my husband was one for sickly sweet statements, but i'll take what i can get."

then, arlecchino had her wife pinned under her in a blink of an eye. another giggle leaves her lips, and arlecchino founds herself reveling in the sound of sweet, sweet joy.

"if that is the case, then i'll be glad to take what i can get as well."

her wife smiles, lazily drapes her arms around her shoulder.

"very well. however, the only thing i can offer to you is myself."

arlecchino's smile grows sweeter, but the tension burns hotter.

"dearest, i don't think that there could be any greater gift in this world other than you."

as the easing glow from the fire on the hearth illuminates and fills their room accompanied by the soft crackling serves as the perfect setting to the intimate moment arlecchino shares with her wife. truly, to her, this was the most perfect way to end her special day.

happy birthday, arlecchino.

Shenhe helping you after you get lost in Jueyun Karst

characters: Shenhe x gn!reader

warnings: none

a/n: This wasn't requested, but I kinda wanted to write something like this for quite a while. I think this is a bit longer than my usual posts (around 1k words), but I'm not too sure.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Shenhe

It wasn’t every day that Shenhe encountered another human being in Jueyun Karst. Encountering Slimes, Hili- and Mitachurls was far from extraordinary, but since humans tended to tell themselves stories about the Adepti living in the mountains, the only people she saw traverse Jueyun Karst were Treasure-Hoarders looking for a quick buck.

So, when she first laid eyes on you, marching up the mountain, she first prepared for trouble once again, only to relax when she saw that you were unarmed and completely alone, a wave of curiosity washing over her, causing her to think of all the reasons a seemingly harmless human might find themselves in Jueyun Karst. Maybe you were here to offer Cloud-Retainer some food? The table in the middle of the lake was there for a reason after all. But you didn’t seem to have any food on you, causing the Adepti-Discipline to scratch that idea.

Finally, after wondering about your reasons for quite some time without managing to figure it out, she decided to simply confront you. The only important thing she needed to know, was if you meant any trouble or not, something she’d probably figure out in no time at all.

You were lost in thought, trying your best to entertain yourself with daydreaming. Walking alone for a few hours left you bored and while boredom wasn’t something you liked all too much, it was still a lot better than fearing for your life. You didn’t know how long it was until you reached the peak of the mountain, but once you did and finally managed to figure a way out of the seemingly maze-like mountains, you’d be able to rest for a while.

Or so it was planned, until a voice, seemingly out of nowhere, nearly finished you off with a heart attack, causing you to startle before finally noticing the woman in front of you. And while she was unarmed and seemed a lot less hostile than those Treasure-Hoarders and Hilichurls, something about her, maybe her Aura or the fact that you met her on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, leaving you wonder why she was also here, told you not to mess with her.

“Tell me, why are you trying to march up this mountain? Are you here to pay the Adepti your respects or do you mean to try and harm them?”, the woman stated, her almost emotionless voice reinforcing your prior feelings about her. But while you managed to recover from your earlier shock, you needed a bit longer to think of a suitable answer, mentally going over her words a couple of times, only to stop at one of her words. Adepti? Didn’t those live in Jueyun Karst? Your eyes instantly began scanning the mountains and valleys around you before finally realising were exactly you managed to get lost in.

When you finally looked at the woman again, you realised how suspicious your silence probably felt for her, causing you to quickly explain your situation, from how you were running away from Treasure-Hoarders, to how you got lost in the mountains and planned to climb one of them in the hopes that a bird’s-eye view would help you find a way out. All the while waiting for her to show any reactions that might indicate if she believed you or not.

“If that’s the case, let me accompany you on your way out. These mountains can be dangerous for unarmed people”, the woman stated before signalling you to follow her. And while you didn’t doubt her knowledge about how to find a way out for even a moment, you caught yourself thinking about asking her how she planned to defend the two of you when she didn’t carry a weapon herself, only to decide to remain silent when you noticed the Cryo vision she wore.

At first, your journey was filled with a heavy silence for what felt like hours. With you feeling too awkward to say anything while the woman keeping you out of any danger didn’t seem to be interested in starting a conversation either. That was until you finally opened your mouth, trying to engage in a bit of small talk, hoping it would make the awkwardness go away. Surprisingly, she responded. And while her answers at first were nothing more than a few words, they eventually grew longer, until the conversation stopped being completely one-sided.

“Thanks for helping me, Shenhe. I’m convinced that I would have found my end in those mountains if I didn’t met you”, you thanked her once again once Liyue was finally in sight, turning towards her before showing her the biggest smile you could muster. At first, you assumed she’d also make her way to the city, but when you noticed that she hadn’t taken another step in the city’s direction, choosing to stand still instead, you approached her one last time.

“Oh, so you’re not from the city?”, you asked, only for her to quickly confirm your suspicion. “Well, it’s getting late, so I don’t want to keep you any longer, so goodbye Shenhe”, you said your goodbye before she did the same and turned around before starting to walk back to the direction you came from. You may have just said that you didn’t want to keep her any longer, but seeing her walk away made you feel strange, causing you to quickly call out her name once again.

“Do you need something?”, she asked you as calmly as she did all those hours ago, bur instead of her voice containing a hint of distrust like the first time around, you could have sworn that you heard a hint of curiosity instead.

“My parents own a small shop near the harbour selling all kinds of stuff, it’s nothing special or anything, but if you ever decide to visit Liyue again, then please consider stopping by. You helped me a lot today, so I’d like to give you something as a thanks”, you stated. At first Shenhe tried to decline your offer, telling you that you didn’t need to give her anything since she ‘only’ helped you find a way out of the mountains, but seeing how determined you were, she eventually folded.

“Good, I will keep that in mind the next time I’m in the city”, she responded before shooting you a smile so small that you had almost missed it. “Until then”, she said her goodbye before continuing to walk, leaving you in thought for a couple of seconds, only for you to eventually make your way home.

You would excitedly wait for the day when your saviour paid you a visit and once she did you’d make sure to repay her kindness in full.
