What he'd do on your anniversary

Zayne

A letter that's unreadable because you'd be crying by the first line. Folded with care— probably tucked into a book you had casually mentioned wanting.

"With you, i'd do it all over again."

He's not a natural at cooking, but he's amazing at instructions. Quietly following a tutorial on how to make a dish you'd said you were craving a few days ago, he'd nail it. And hopefully you. I mean-

Rafayel

He would pretend he forgot, when he's had this day marked on his phone for weeks. He'd be super extravagant, even if you didn't ask for it. Rent the whole beach? A rooftop garden?

"...please say you like it or i might throw myself in the ocean."

When you're thoroughly exhausted and beat, laying near the water, he'd roll over onto his stomach and look at you with something like adoration in his eyes.

"You make everything less scary, you know?"

Sylus

He'd buy you a new necklace, and pretend he didn't spend days passing by that same piece and pondering.

"I thought it'd suit you better than the dust it was collecting."

Nonchalant, he's trying to be. He wouldn't go super far with the planning, maybe just a simple dinner in your favourite spot. Two glasses, and food he probably didn't cook. He wouldn't dare to, just in case he ruined it.

"I've never kept a precious gem for so long." He'd say quietly, holding your hand.

Xavier

Pound town.

Caleb

He won't let anyone forget this is the day you officially became his. Before the sun even rises, 12am, sharp. Your phone is blowing up with pictures he posted onto his 'moments'.

"Happy anniversary to me and my pipsqueak :P"

He makes it sound playful, but it's actually a serious warning to anyone who tries to be funny. You're off-limits.

Oh, gifts? Not just one. Several. A framed photo of the both of you, custom bracelet with your first name and his last name, you name it. It's like Christmas morning came early.

"I know, i know you said you didn't want anything... but i wasn't listening."

[veggiesxxx]

LADS men when you tell them...

Sylus

1 :

"I want to give up."

"Why?"

"..It's not possible. I'm not strong enough."

"You're tired?"

"Very."

"Resting's not the same as quitting, Y/N."

"If you're seriously done, i'll walk with you. But... i dont think you are."

"Are you?"

---

Zayne

2 :

"They're all mad at me."

"For what?"

"I ruined everything. Again."

"But... they love you?"

"I thought they did."

"...Do you think it was your fault?"

"... i don't know."

"You're uncertain,"

"That means there's room left for doubt."

"... I know you, Y/N."

"Stop trying to fix what you didn't break."

---

Caleb

3:

"They won't leave me."

"You're still talking about them, Y/N?"

"Well, yeah. They said they'd give me a second chance!"

"...and what do you have to do for them this time?"

"They just want me to _____ it's no big deal, really. It's the last one, they said."

"... Do you really think that? Are they worth spending your entire life on?"

---

Xavier

4 :

"I tried. I really, really tried."

"I know you did."

"Why didn't anybody notice?!"

"Maybe they didn't. But i did."

"You don't need to win to matter, Y/N."

---

Rafayel

5:

"Nobody cares about me. I should just disappear."

"That's not true, you know that."

"It is. You don't know what i'm going through."

"Maybe you should tell me?"

"And why would you care?"

"...I don't think nobody cares about you, Y/N.-"

"- I think you're afraid to let them."

Rafayel meeting your friend who has a crush on you

Jealous jealous jealous ☺️

------- love and deepspace

"Cutie, i bought you your drink- Is this your new friend...?" he began, walking over with your drink.

He raised an eyebrow, and cocked his head a bit to the side, analysing your friend. You had said you'd bring someone to meet him, and something else. He hadn't really been paying attention, to be honest. He was just too excited when you said you wanted to meet him after so long.

Oh, that's nice. He's helping her carry her bag. It's probably really heavy- ...Wait a minute.

Why is he carrying her bag?

"It's my friend! His name's J... Say hi."

"It's nice to meet you." Your friend said politely, with a dazzling smile. Too nice. He's too nice. Something's off. Rafayel doesn't like it. And why is he standing so close to you? Doesn't he know you're taken?

"Hi." Rafayel bit back a snarky tone, his expression dark and his eyes narrowed with a childish kind of anger. The kind that made him want to pull you into his arms and stake his claim with a frown.

The way your friend was smiling at you made him just want to paint it off his face.

"Ah... Y/N. Is this your current boyfriend?" Your friend forced a smile, and you didn't notice the way his eyes stayed cold. But your lover saw it.

Sometimes you forget how perceptive he truly was.

"Uhm... he's my boyfriend, yeah."

"The one who got you the lame painting for your birthday? And the note in a bottle?-" he challenged, with a mocking laugh played off as a joke.

Oh, that's it. Did this lowlife even know the value of Rafayel's work? He spent months on that piece, and this- cat, just called it lame?! He wasn't having it.

Rafayel swiftly took your bag from your friend, cutting him off.

"Sorry my gifts aren't up to your taste, but they were for my girlfriend. Not you."

With that, he pulled you along with him, leaving you stunned. At both your friend, and Rafayel's behaviour. What had gotten into them both?

"Raf! Hey! Stop!" You yelped, as Rafayel continued to drag you even when you were already outside the store and a few blocks down.

"What was that for?!"

"Is that actually your friend?"

"Yeah! You were so rude-!"

"So was he," he huffed, looking away and frowning deeply.

You paused, pressing your lips together in a disappointed thin line.

"....He was, wasn't he? He's not usually like this."

"Oh, i bet he's not. Can't you see he likes you?"

...

~Aftermath~

"Y/N, cutie..."

"...do you think my gifts were lame?"

LADS men after they hurt you (slight angst?) [2/2] - physically on accident

!!Dialogues ahead!! (Xavier, Caleb, Zayne, Rafayel & Sylus)

...

Xavier

It's like the world was a blur, like even the universe itself couldn't comprehend what he had done. Even if it was minor. He let go immediately.

"Ow, Xavier! Let go."

"...I-"

"Did i hurt you? Let me take a look..."

"I'm fine... You just gripped my wrist a bit too tight..."

"Don't look so sorrowful... It makes it impossible to be mad at you."

"I-"

"I'm so sorry. I didn't... mean it." He looked away, eyes trained on the floor, scratching the back of his neck.

Caleb

The moment you meet his gaze with a pained expression, his whole world turns grey. He immediately lets go, and steps back.

"Caleb- L-Let go!"

"Ow..."

"I-"

"I-I'm so sorry... Pipsqueak- I..."

Watching him stumble over his words... it was a little funny.

"...Is it painful? Come, we need to get you to Skyhaven. I'll have our best doctors look at it."

"Caleb, there's no need- Okay-! Okay! I'm coming..."

Zayne

"Are you hurt? Let me see."

His eyes were solemnly inspecting your wrist, as if he had twisted it off or something.

"It's not... broken."

"I'm sorry. It hurts, doesn't it?"

"I'll just get an ice pack, it's alright, Dr. Zayne-"

Before you could even start to move, Zayne's hand became ice-cold and he held your wrist tenderly in his hand. He kept his remorseful gaze low, so you wouldn't see it.

"Better...?"

Rafayel

"Ah-! Rafayel, your flames!"

"Cutie-? Oh, oh no." He rushed to your side.

Frantically grabbing your hand that you got a burn mark on, he glanced at you, to check if you were angry. In his opinion, you should be.

"Cutie, i'm so sorry. Oh, what was i thinking? Does it hurt really bad? Let's go home, the training ground can wait!"

"Rafa, we're almost done with the level! It's not that bad!"

"You're in no condition to fight like this... We're going back, now."

Sylus

He was usually a marvellous dancer. At this particular ball, it seems, he just wasn't used to the new shoes. The tailor must've messed up the measurements, because he stepped on your foot.

"This is fun- Ow."

At the sound of your pain, his eyes widened.

"Kitten? Sorry, am i too heavy?"

"Let me see..."

"Sylus-! I can walk!"

"...i don't need to sit..."

Suddenly, you had Sylus on one knee, carefully taking off your shoe he stepped on, examining your foot.

"Is it tender, kitten?"

"...no. Can we go back to dancing now-?"

"...Sorry sweetie, we can't risk hurting you again. We'll have to go home."

He had to hide his desire to apologise like a psychopath once he had you alone, somehow.

Xavier

"..You really don't care how that sounded, do you?"

"Wait... Y/N?"

"That's... Not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

"I'll phrase it differently next time—"

"No, sorry. There.. won't be a next time. Please come back here, darling..."

Caleb

"You don't realise what you just said, do you, Caleb?"

"...I do, pipsqueak. That's the problem."

"Then why did you say it..?"

"Because I'm an idiot.."

"And?"

"...and this idiot doesn't want you to go."

Zayne

"..Zayne?"

"...you're upset."

"And what gave that away?"

"Everything... I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking."

"But you always think before you speak."

"...and that makes it worse, doesn't it?" He rubs the bridge of his nose.

"Figure it out."

"I will. And then, I'll fix it."

Rafayel

He just.. hates silence after a conflict.

"Darling..?"

"You hurt me."

"I regret it already. I'm sorry, cutie."

"That doesn't take it back."

"I should glue my mouth shut, huh?"

"No, seriously, would that help?.."

Sylus

He always gets stressed whenever he feels like you're going to leave him.

"Yeah, walk away, because that always helps, right?" He almost snapped.

"What do you want me to do, then? pretend it didn't hurt?

"..."

"No. Just.. don't go."

"... I'm sorry, sweetie. I-if you want to go... I won't stop you."

"Good. Don't."

"...But I will wait."

Their reaction to you saying... (2/2)

Their reaction to you saying... "I could stab you right now." (2/2) - Rafayel, Caleb & Zayne ...

Rafayel

The Lemurian sat carelessly on his sofa, a book perched between his slender fingers. You stepped over to him, and sat on the sofa, perching on the edge cautiously. You gazed at him, and he put down the book, raising an eyebrow at how suspicious you were acting. "Can I help you, cutie?"

You couldn't suppress the grin on your face as you pulled his blade out from behind your back, swiftly placing the sharp tip against his chest.

"I could stab your heart right now.."

"You're... threatening me with violence? Against me? Oh, you're breaking my heart, darling!"

"I'm a lover, not a fighter," he added.

You expected a reaction, yes, but not like this. Couldn't he just... amuse you? Be a little more genuinely afraid?

"Please, have mercy! I'm a fragile fishie."

....

"But, also..."

Your raise your eyes to meet his, feeling your hand loosen around the blade, and he wrapped his smooth fingers around yours, effectively lowering the dagger.

"I'd much prefer if you didn't stab yourself, darling."

--------

Caleb

You glanced up, looking at the array of the newest Skyhaven weapons the Colonel was allowed to have. He left them spread on the coffee table, as he planned to get back and then organise them. You reached over and picked up a little neat dagger. Caleb would be home anytime now.

What if...

You hid by the front door, so you could ambush him.

...

The door clicked, and you held your breath, excitement coursing through your veins. Without warning, you pinned the unsuspecting Caleb against the wall, blade against his chest. "Woah, pipsqueak– What's gotten into you?" he questioned, not even flinching. A smile stayed on his face, like he didn't believe you'd hurt him.

"I could stab you, right now."

"For-?"

"Hostages don't speak,"

"...alright." He played along.

"So? What're you gonna do? I could seriously hurt you."

"...Well.. Nothing." He shrugged. "You can go ahead, pipsqueak."

"Just promise to tell me what i did wrong after, so i won't make you angry again."

-------

Zayne

You fiddled with a fork in the café, and tapped your feet against the flooring, restless and impatient to receive your cakes. The two of you had spent the last hour or so together, though you were still trying to figure out if it was a 'date' or just him making sure you 'ate properly'.

At some point, you squinted and pointed the fork to him, poking his chest across the small table.

"I could stab you, right now." you huffed, your leg brushing against his.

"Hm? And here I thought you liked me," he adjusted his silver glasses, a faint smile formed on his lips.

The deadpan delivery, the slight teasing that laced his tone— It was infuriating. It was.. Zayne.

"..you're impossible."

He brought his gaze down to the tabletop, and the lightest pink dusted his cheeks and coloured his ears.

"Well.. I'll allow it."

"Only if you'll bring me to the hospital, after."

Sylus

You laid in his embrace, fiddling with the collar of his jacket, your whole weight on him as he had his nose buried in your hair. He was letting himself be calmed by the scent of your shampoo. Your hand moved to trace a line down his left pec. "I could stab your heart right now.." you began, quietly, your fingers coming to a stop in the middle of the muscle.

"Go ahead, I won't stop you," he said as he did that kind of annoyingly cocky smirk, hand tangling in your hair, like he knew you couldn't hurt him.

"..Seriously?"

"Have i ever lied to you, kitten?"

"..."

"I have a knife in my back pocket," He confessed, right eye glowing a dangerous red. Yet it didn't seem at all threatening.

"W-wait, Sylus, stop-"

------------

Xavier

Sitting quietly beside him in an empty train carriage, on your way home together after completing a handful of bounties. It was the perfect time to mess with him.

"You know.."

"I could stab you right now," you said, innocently, as the Xavier who was almost nodding off, lifted his heavy eyes again to gaze at you in sleepy confusion.

"H-huh..? Did you say something?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.

"I said," You cleared your throat, kind of irked he didn't hear you the first time. "I could stab you right now."

"...Oh. Yeah.. You could."

That's it? 'You could'?

"..is that all you have to say?"

"..Is there something else I should say?"

"I... nevermind." You sighed, defeated, crossing your arms and gazing to the side.

A small smile appeared on his face, and he reached a hand out to turn your head back towards him, finding your slight pout adorable. You didn't even notice you'd been pouting.

"You could.." he added on to his previous words. "...if it helps, i'll sit still for you."

dont know if it fits the LIs buttttt

[veggiesxxx]

What if… GENSHIN EDITION . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖

What if.... (Part 3/?)

Kaeya got jealous of you hanging around Diluc?

It was an odd pair to see. The reserved boss of Dawn Winery and the slightly chattier Y/N. Diluc was distant and often unapproachable with his signature frown and monotone voice— yet strangely enough, he was surprisingly easy to open up to when you had the chance to talk.

Considering your partner, the ever-charming Calvary Captain Kaeya, silver-tongued with a remarkable knack for getting people to tell him things, seeing you enjoy your conversations with Diluc was unusual, to say the least. The brothers were polar opposites; one sociable and charming, while the other was cool and aloof. Yet they had one thing in common– their habit of hiding their true emotions.

Somehow, you got along with them both, despite their difference in personalities.

Tonight, you placed a glass back onto the damp coaster with "Angel's Share" printed on it. You were intently listening to Diluc recount an experience with a particularly difficult Abyss creature in a voice that lacked all emotion.

Unbeknownst to you, the Calvary Captain had sauntered in, hoping to 'accidentally' find a man suspected of withholding information related to his recent mission. He froze at the doorway, eyes narrowing at the sight of his beloved and Diluc together at a small round table.

"Ah, there you are." Kaeya drawled, an arm snaking around your shoulders. The fur that adorned his attire tickled your neck. The mission could wait— he had something more urgent to deal with.

"K-Kaeya!" You exclaimed, startled but happy to see him. "Why're you-"

"Didn't think I'd find my favourite person here, so cozy with the wine boss,"

"Don't cut me off. Why're you here? You said you had to work overtime." You frowned, puffing out your cheeks, glancing up at the unfairly handsome man. 'Oh.. Well, I just thought I'd find something interesting here tonight.."

 He turned to Diluc with a pointed grin.

Diluc’s gaze didn’t waver. “Relax, Kaeya. We’re having a normal conversation.”

Kaeya’s smile tightened, his gloved hand lingering a moment too long on your shoulder. “I do hope you're not boring her with another boring story, Diluc."

Diluc sighed, clearly unamused. “Not everything is a competition, Kaeya. Relax.”

"Don't flatter yourself," Kaeya smoothly interrupted, his words aimed to insult but with his honeyed tone, they sounded almost harmless. "And I am perfectly relaxed, though I do appreciate the sentiment."

Though, if it were a competition, Kaeya would win it all too easily. You thought.

Diluc just rubbed the bridge of his nose with a gloved thumb and index, closing his eyes and biting back a retort. "If you're just here to disrupt the peace, don't bother-"

Before you could protest, Kaeya gently tugged you off the chair and steered you toward the bar of the tavern.

“Kaeya, what are you-”

“Making sure my partner isn’t stolen right out from under my nose,” he said, cutting you off with a sharp smirk. But the way his hand hovered at your lower back hinted at his possessiveness.

You frowned. “Are you seriously jealous of Diluc?”

“Jealous?” His laugh was low and dismissive, though his jaw tightened. “Me? That’s absurd.”

"You didn't need to hover like that,"

"Hover? I was just enjoying the atmosphere. Not that you'd understand... the atmosphere down there for shorties like you is quite different, isn't it?" He teased, trying to subconsciously brush off your words about his jealousy, to avoid a serious conversation.

"Right,” you said, giving him a knowing smile, ignoring his teasing. “It wouldn’t have anything to do with Diluc, would it?”

Kaeya chuckled, his smirk unfaltering. “Why would it? I’ve no reason to be bothered by such things.” He continued, taking your hand in his, casually intertwining his fingers with yours.

You didn’t press further, only leaning closer as you whispered, “You’re cute when you’re jealous.”

His step faltered, but he recovered quickly, tilting his head with a low laugh. “Am I now? I’ll have to remember that.”

Though he brushed it off, the satisfied gleam in his eye told you he wasn’t upset about you noticing.

"How about I buy you a drink to apologise for my little... outburst?" he tilted his head to the side, his blue hair flopping over in a certain way. You laughed, the sound lingering in his ears like a melody he yearned to hear all the time.

"Lead the way, Captain."

[veggiesxxx]

When they get jealous (HCs)

Rafayel (1/4)

- He's not afraid to show you how affected he is by it

- he absolutely will complain and believes you're abandoning him

- a dehydrated fish, 'drying out'

- when you get irritated by the pouty whining he'll apologise

- will subtly bring up your past together as a silent plea to not leave him

- he exaggerates what happened that made him jealous for sympathy points

- doesn't mean whatever he says about you going to leave him— would rather paint an ugly picture and sign it than have you more than 3 feet away from him.

- take care of him pls (he says with watery eyes ☹️)

Sylus (2/4)

- Jealous? No, not him.

- Definitely not him.

- acts like he was just concerned about his kitten's safety, thats why he's brooding around with Mephisto on his shoulder

- when in reality he's afraid you're gonna leave him.

- will not let go of your hand after the incident for at least a week

- insists you wear the brooch he gave you every day after that— wear it in your hair if you have to— even if it doesn't match

- wants it to be the first thing you tell people about when you meet them

- in his head, it goes: "hi. look at this thing my lover gave me. Yeah, blocks them"

Zayne (3/4)

- it's him. he's jealous.

- you can't accept gifts from guys. that's a no no.

- if you do happen to accept something while he's not there, trust me, he'll find out

- he will mail the gift back to the sender with a polite restraining order

- if you get upset with him for it, he will just smile at you and pet your head. He's already prepared for it. He took an off-day to spend time with you. He knows his little hunter is smart enough to realise he sent the gift back.

- he doesnt mind listening to you scold and berate him, only occasionally giving you some intelligent-ass remark or response that forces you to pause

- his remark will make you get more pissed at him and scold him more indignantly

- to be honest, he does it on purpose. He just likes to hear your voice.

Xavier (4/4)

- sulk. sulk. sulk. that's all that's on his mind

- he's clueless on how else to respond. you surely can't expect him to actually be upfront about his feelings, right? it's much easier to just wait for his adorable star to comfort him.

- and it makes him feel better when he knows you can tell when he's upset— and you don't tell him how obvious he is either

- he thinks he hides it well, actually. And he'll regard you as a really good significant other because you know what he's feeling

- he has a low tolerance for jealousy, so after a few times of this in succession, sprinkling him with affection isn't enough to stop his sulking

- will take his anger out on anything other than you

- wishes he could punch the other man/men in the face

- why do people need to be spared if they're as dangerous as wanderers?

- dangerous as in going to steal his beloved's heart, of course. in his opinion, thats worse than a wanderer.

POV: You spend time with a guy "behind their back." (Part 4/4)

(reader is NOT cheating!!)

ft. Jealousy, fluff

Xavier

You smiled at your phone, a bunch of shopping bags in hand, after a night out with your recently acquired friend. Your fingers moved swiftly across the screen, sending a string of typo-filled messages, all while fiddling hopelessly with your keys back to your apartment. Your fingerprint sensor recently just broke, forcing you to return to being old-fashioned with keys. An abrupt reply out of nowhere caught you off guard and you laughed too loudly to even try to cover it up. Luckily, there was nobody outside their homes on your floor, so you could spare yourself some awkward glances.

As your door finally clicked, unlocking, you heaved a sigh of relief as you set down the shopping bags, finally feeling blood flowing unrestricted to your arms again.

"You're home." A calming voice made you jump, dropping your keys onto the floor.

'Xavier-!" You yelped, slightly shaken, but coming back to your senses as you caught your phone from joining your keys on the floor. You saw him standing there in your living room, expression unreadable. Embarrassed, you hurriedly picked up the offending keys, shoving them onto the counter.

'Why- Uhm.. Why are you in my apartment?" you asked, your voice faltering.

"You didn't tell me Blair was a boy," he ignored your question, approaching you. His tone was neutral, but the pending frown on his face gave him away, making you want to smooth it back with your thumb. You looked at him with a confused look, before shrugging it off, leaving your shopping by the door.

"Yeah. I thought it was pretty obvious-" you answered, moving towards your living room to sink down into your armchair.

"So the whole time you've been having lunch, and dinners with him, receiving travel gifts from him, and he was a boy?"

"I never said he was a girl," you clarified, knowing Xavier was going to start moping again in a minute if you didn't clear it up. You didn't want know how long he'd been here—in your home, already sulking over it before you came home.

"Yes, but you would've told me... Unless you didn't want me to find out."

"Xav, why would I hide something so trivial from you?"

"...Well Obviously it wasn't trivial to you, that's why you hid it from me." He stated, his blue gaze on the floor, like a kicked puppy, as he dragged a stool over to sit in front of your armchair.

"I didn't mean to 'hide' anything from you. I'm sorry you thought of it that way but-"

"Do you like him?" He asked, bluntly, but with his gaze not meeting yours, you could tell he was reluctant to hear your answer. It was like he was fully expecting you to say you did, reveal you were engaged and discard him to be with Blair. The thought both frightened and irked him. "What? No! Of course not! Why would you even think that?"

"...."

Xavier didn't say anything at first, but he opened a hand, conjuring a small little light flower. The light danced entrancingly in his palm. He got up, leaning down towards you in your armchair, and he was so close to your face that you held your breath, eyes wide. His somewhat pouty, sulking expression was almost too much. And the way he was kind of menacingly just.. staring at you, trying to conceal the angry storm inside.

But all he did was put the flower in your hair.

With gentle hands, he lifted your chin to meet his gaze, the stern expression previously on his face softened slightly. You could've sworn his eyes seemed deeper than you last saw them. Like they were trying to consume you.

"...He can't do that. Can he?"

You swallowed, feeling his presence almost pinning you to the chair. It didn't help that he slammed his hands on the arm-rest, his knee resting on the seat, caging you in. Your voice came out, barely audible, like a mumble. "..no.."

"..then don't leave me behind," he clenched a fist, the other hand not so loosely grabbing the cushion. You reached out and cradled his face in your hands, feeling his warm skin against your palms.

"...I don't need to fight for your attention.. do i?"
