red roses (diluc x reader)

a g/n reader

marked t for teens and up, no smut in this one!

a/n: it’s diluc, that’s all i have to say. i must say, i’ve been reading so many yandere fanfictions that i need to write something positive. it’s quite short, but i think it’s sweet, at least. enjoy!

𝓭𝓲𝓵𝓾𝓬

a joyful day it was in the winery. or it should have been. Business was fast, cups were full, and the lovely music of one specific bard echoed off the wooden walls. but through the hubbub and the chatter, diluc spotted not the one face he was looking for.

you were a regular at his tavern, you didn’t drink much. but admittedly, he had become rather fond of you, as you made pleasant conversation. your h/c hair and e/c eyes had attracted him from the moment that you had cast eyes on him, but nevertheless, his love grew.

he wondered where you were. on fridays, you hadn’t ever missed a day. you had promised him faithfully to always arrive on friday, and so he had waited. fortunately, he wasn’t disappointed.

your presence let itself finally be seen in this room, a shining star above all the other dull ones, and he knew he wasn’t the only one with eyes on you. in particular, a certain cavalry captain may or may not have been giving him trouble with you. he was determined though, and not even his brother could distract him from the task at hand. 

“Hey, Diluc!” how you were always so endlessly cheerful, even with Stormterror breathing down the back of Mondstadt was so... interesting to him. he supposed it could’ve had something to do with the fact that you were an outlander. another reason why he had to hurry. who really knew how much longer you would be here, before you moved on? 

you always had wanted to travel teyvat after all, and who would he be to stop you.

“hey, y/n.” he said smoothly.

you talked about nothing and everything, business galore.

hah. how joyful would it be if all of his days would end up like this. just the two of you, as it was meant to be. 

he walked you back home (it was only fair,) he thought, he wouldn’t you want getting lost and tipsy after all. on the way back, you stopped by a garden, and a thought came to him that he never would’ve done normally.

a rose, red and beautiful, crimson and scarlet was passed. careful to keep the thorny stem away from your hands. your eyes glassed over in happiness (bold of me to assume that, no?)

“Oh, Diluc, what’s this for?” you clutched it to your chest, and his heart swelled with his courage.

“i think i’m in love with you, y/n.” it was silent, but still diluc furthered.

“will you be my girlfriend?” silence. it was awkward, and diluc felt his heart break in two. 

it was silent yet again, and the rose was still in your hands, but it had pricked your thumb. he started to step away, downcast, and definitely not going to cry when he got back to the winery, but you shouted out.

“STOP!”

He looked back at you, so perfect, so pure, and his heart ripped. the darknight hero of mondstadt could never be with such an angel.

with a cold tone, he stepped away further. “i don’t need your rejection, y/n. your silence is enough for me.” and then he walked away, and you were powerless to stop him. but you were determined. you chased after him, calling his name, begging him to listen, but he gave you the cold shoulder. so he was about to enter the winery, and your legs were exhausted from running, and you blurted out.

“diluc, i-i,”

“What?” he hated how cold his voice was, but he just broken and defeated and tired. he knew he wouldn’t be over this anytime soon after all.

“i love you too,” and then the world grinded to a halt. diluc wasted no time. his lips captured yours hungrily (he might’ve been the tiniest bit touch-starved after all), and it was just you too.

“why didn’t you tell me so,” he stepped away and both lips were still reeling from the electricity, and his voice sounded a little rough.

“i was just... looking for the right moment. and then when you ran away, istartedpanickingandi-” he cut off your rambling with another sweet kiss.

“i’d have waited for you forever y/n, and i’m so glad that you’re finally here.

_

FIN

a/n: wowza that was insane. DILUC FTW- and that was beautiful. (i’m not talking about my writing, talking about him). but anyways, I hope you enjoyed nevertheless.

| cheers to you, miss eriimyon, your art is beautiful

headcanon: jealousy

my very first headcanon. let’s feature some genshin characters this time: albedo, kaeya, diluc, let’s add xiao.

“here, let’s have a g/n reader”

warnings: none, not in this one. rated T for Teens and Up, that’s the base line for most of my writing ^

𝓴𝓪𝓮𝔂𝓪:

well, mr. calvary captain of the knights of favonius also tends to have a temper. at least, when somebody approaches y/n, or yes, that’s you, he might get a little bit possessive. let’s take a reading.

p o s s e s s i v e:

You were innocently gazing around the stands of Liyue, unnoticing the other people who were gazing at you expectantly. Kaeya was not so oblivious. Kaeya pulled you slightly closer, or at least interlink his hands with yours. When you open your mouth to ask about this sudden display of affection, he’ll respond with a simple.

“don’t worry about it, y/n. everything’s fine.” then when you “looked away,” he proceeded to lay a chaste kiss on your cheek, platonic enough to look innocent but also romantic enough to make the others realize you were taken.

“why is it always the good ones-”

“Kaeya, darling,” you responded, smirking, “don’t think I don’t realize what you’re doing.” He was taken aback for a bit (a couple seconds), before he realized he’d been had.

“alright, you caught me,” he whispered, “now let’s go home.” 

m e: 

no nsfw yet ;)

i want a light intro.

𝓪𝓵𝓫𝓮𝓭𝓸:

haha, our lovely beautiful alchemist. albedo can be very clueless about the world, and sometimes it seems like he’s wrapped up in his own world (aren’t we all?) maybe a lil’ jealousy. let’s seee-

s l i g h t:

Imperceptible to the naked eye, or you, you weren’t really paying attention, he tightened his grip around your hand and leaned in slightly closer to you. The brown-haired man on the other side of the road was really starting to unnerve him, it seemed like he was staring bullets into your back.

“don’t look now, love,” he started, “but there’s a man who’s looking at you very intensely right now-”

“m’ sure it’s nothing, you always get so worked up, bedo-”

“he’s been for the past five minutes.” you shook your head dismissively and actually decided to play a little game. you edged closer to the man, and Albedo looked at you curiously. the man started edging towards you then, and you knew that Albedo had been right.

“Hey! what’s a beautiful person such as yourself doing with something like him?” 

you drew back a little, as he had alcohol on his breath. his hand clasped onto your wrist a little bit too tightly, and you winced. you knew that he had sealed his fate.

A flash of Geo, and the poor man (well, you didn’t feel too bad for him after all, not in a cruel way, but he had some unsavory intentions) was pinned up against a wall, with albedo, lovely sweet alchemist, poised to stab his throat with a knife that he had obtained from god knows where.

“if you ever lay another one of your filthy hands on them, i’ll cut them off myself.” then albedo was back and the two of you were strolling down the sakura-laden path, calm and happy as can be.

𝓭𝓲𝓵𝓾𝓬:

our wine master (and among other things) at your service. poor diluc, he can get riled up so easily sometimes... take a reading.

j e a l o u s y:

He had always known you were beautiful, inside and out, and it was plain to see on the other people’s faces in Dawn Winery they recognized it too. They had approached you coyly, and they had been chased away ashamedly.

he heard your huffing tones as you stepped towards him with an embrace.

“can you believe it? i tried to tell them i was taken-”

Diluc felt a little bit distant, how come you got so much attention? all he really wanted was a partner that was loyal. he knew you were, but he was beginning to doubt it...

so out of the blue it came. “are you going to leave me?” you recoiled, shooketh. 

“whatever do you mean? where’s all this coming from?” those red eyes were flaming, and he grabbed onto you, none too gently, herding you into the back of the wine room.

“ouch, Diluc-”

“look at me, y/n. look at me, and promise me that you’ll never leave me,” his voice was tinged with a hint of doubt and you understood what was happening. 

“are you... jealous?” he blushed and looked away.

“N-no, why would I be?” he tsk-ed once, but then he looked at you.

“but...”

“I can make that promise, love,” and his lips enraptured yours. you both walked out, one tall with red-hair, one with h/c hair, and you were ready to face anything head on now.

m e: 

how are these getting progressively longer- this is turning out a lil’ different than I expected a good different though.

𝔁𝓲𝓪𝓸:

our resident wandering adepti stopped wandering when he met you. now he’s having doubts on whether he should wander once again...

d i s t a n c e:

Xiao was standing at the door of Wangshu Inn, waiting for you in the place you always were, in the time you always had punctuality. but no, you weren’t punctual now.

it was five, then ten, then fifteen minutes late, and xiao realized he had been tapping his foot impatiently the whole time. he ceased immediately, of course, but he still couldn’t shake off the feeling of the fact that something was wrong. he had sent a message ten minutes ago and you hadn’t responded.

then he saw you, with your beautiful hair and eyes, with the sweet voice that had stopped his aimless treading, the y/n that he loved.

“why are you late?” was the first thing that came out of his mouth. he saw you holding a box, golden with a red ribbon.

“Oh, I was with Kaeya,” and the flares of jealousy he could quench no more. He blinked back hot tears, and ran away, unable to face the rejection and hurt that was inevitably coming for him, but he felt a woosh of Cryo, and he stopped in his tracks.

“Wait, Xiao!”

“Why are you running?” your voice called out, silvery and light amidst the chaos of the world.

“aren’t you gonna-”

he stumbled over his words. if this was going to happen, he was going to speak first. 

“let’s break up.” the words sounded like poison, bubbling vats of it coming from his mouth and the box dropped. revealing what had been inside.

it was a beautiful diamond, encased in platinum, with the words X + (first letter of your name) engraved on the band. a wedding band. god, he had screwed up. you weren’t with Kaeya... another man, you were with Kaeya choosing a ring. he saw your e/c eyes tear up, and the air filled with the storm of Cryo.

the temperature plummeted around you and soon the air was frozen and it was just the two of you in a small icy cubicle.

“W-why? D-did I do something wrong?” he never, ever wanted to be the cause of your tears.

“n-no, y/n, it was a mistake-” hot tears spilled over his cheeks too-

“A MISTAKE?” the air plummeted further and xiao felt himself being encased in eyes, damn his jealousy and damn his brain and everything, what had he done? the ice shattered and you were about to storm off when he grasped your hands.

“please forgive me.” your eyes were now black, not warm but like chips of black ice. and still you stopped.

“when I heard you were with kaeya, i got extremely jealous and i- I read your intentions incorrectly-” your eyes returned to normal and the temperature slowly increased to normal as well.

“oh, xiao,” you stroked his blue hair (yes, it is very soft don’t fight me on this), “however could I want to break up with you?” you held him tight as he sobbed.

“i would never want to leave you,” and it was true. the love in your irises for him would chain him to the spot he was, with you, until the end of time.
