Please, (I Need You to) Marry Me!

--Your inheritance is at stake and there are too many suitors lining up at your door....But good thing you find the perfect conspirator!

Character: Zhongli (ft. F!Reader)

Imagine being the sole heiress from an affluent family that ran a successful shipping business in Liyue. Shortly after Rex Lapis's death, your parents encountered an unfortunate accident. They had been en route home from Inazuma when a storm had caused their ship to sink causing them to lose their lives. It's during the preparation of the funeral that you learn that a will has been left. It's revealed that to gain your inheritance and become Matriarch, you must find a spouse of noble birth. If not, then your clan's wealth would be kept by your Mora-hungry relatives. Upon hearing this, countless individuals have been vying for your attention and proclaiming their love and admiration for you. Your distant relatives are shameless enough to send their own children as 'recommendations' as your spouse, all to get a portion of your inheritance. During your parents' funeral preparations, you are introduced to the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlour alongside her right-hand man, who you swear to be the most handsome man you have ever seen. In the few times you had met, the man had always carried himself with the elegance befitting of a nobleman—furthermore, his voice and handsome face were just icing on the cake. You approach the funeral consultant and propose your idea: A contractual marriage. Of course, you two briefly go over the terms. The said brunette seems to be contemplating how to reject you properly…that is, until you vehemently promise to maintain a relationship devoid of affection, all the while providing for him. He may keep his job, live in your expansive residence, be attended to by dutiful servants, and spend chests upon chests of Mora. All he has to do is act like a dedicated husband. Additionally, you even offered to compensate him an absurd amount of Mora after two years then the two of you would dissolve your marriage; This seems to catch his attention, and after a few minutes of pondering, the man accepts your proposition. Excellent news, right!? Well…Yes, that is until an uncle of yours begins questioning your husband's origins (Jokes on you, he's above nobility…and mortals). Another relative of yours is questioning the credibility of your union as you and your husband have yet to provide an heir after a year of marriage. You take this all in stride, but the consultant doesn't take kindly to such accusations. When rumours of you being barren and that you merely married the funeral consultant for his handsome visage goes around (…Um, Well…They aren't wrong?), you experience a scary side of your usually calm and collected (fake) husband when he addresses their concerns. It's only after the date nearing the end of your contract that Zhongli confesses that he's unable to carry on with this farce. He's fallen in love with you despite trying not to. How can he not when you incite a supposedly foreign emotion that comes to him so obviously and naturally? He wishes to pursue a real relationship with you--a real marriage--, and he begins by telling you his real identity.

What do you mean, you're REX LAPIS!?

hi there! congrats on 200, you surely deserved them all, and it's amazing you got that far doing something you like :) for the match-up event; i'm an esfj and my enneagram type is 6w5, my hobbies include reading fantasy and romance, playing music (singing, guitar, ukulele, a bit of the piano and a bit of the drums too), writing poems/songs or stories, and sketching stuff. i like the nature but mostly anything relates to the sea or beach, as well as forests and mountains (such are the places i grew up in), cats, and fashion. i strongly dislike waking up early lol and being with too much people too much time, people who can't take important things seriously or who are too impulsive to make decisions correctly.

if you ran out of slots or simply don't want to do this request that's fine for me, do whatever you find most comfortable and easy for you :) congrats again and have a nice day!

Jean, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

Jean has formed an irreplaceable bond with you.

Hardworking and resilient are some words that best describe the Acting Grand Master. From dealing with paperwork, overseeing preparations for upcoming festivals, and keeping an eye on the energetic young Klee, Jean is always hard at work. And yet, despite your differing occupations, fate seems determined to finally have you two reunited after being apart for a long time. Thanks to the young woman's leadership and efforts, Mondstandt remains in order despite only having half the number of knights.

Both you and Jean had known each other when she was still a recruit for the knights, and you were a novice adventurer. In the past, the two of you would repeatedly come across each other with a handful of her assignments and your commissions corresponding with one another. Maybe it was the time you had spent in each other's presence that the young woman had grown quite fond of you. Even though you two hadn't seen each other, the Anemo-user always tries to maintain communications with you through letters. The day you return to Mondstand, the meticulous knight can't help but stare when you appear in front of her desk with a small folder of documents from the Adventurer's Guild in one hand and a souvenir from your travels in the other.

As the assistant to Cyrus, Mondstadt's Branch Master of the Adventurer's Guild, you are mostly found within the vicinity of the guild's establishment dealing with administrative work. Thus, you were considered a constant visitor to the Headquarters and a friendly face to the knights. Initially, your meetings consisted of overlooking the applications for this year's Windblume Festival. But it quickly changed into you trying to convince her to partner certain knights together during their daily training. You're sick of watching Dame Lizzie and Sir Swan making goo-goo eyes at each other for the past six months! The Dandelion knight can only sigh good-naturedly when you let out a soft cheer upon agreeing to have the two said knights paired up.

The Dandelion Knight always welcomes your presence. Recently, she has noticed her tendency to be drawn by your company even when other people would be in attendance. She doesn't seem to realize, but a few people close to her had--Kaeya, Lisa, and even Albedo exchange knowing glances when they watch the Acting Grand Master's gray-blue eyes shine brightly when you invite her for a brief walk outside of the Headquarters. The trio can only speak in hushed tones as they place bets on how long it would take for you and the Acting Grand Master to come to a realization.

On her rare days off, the young woman finds herself tagging along with you as you browse the trendiest clothing at Marjorie's then, followed by trying the newest drinks at the Cat's Tail. Ah, It's been a long time since the blonde has enjoyed herself like this immensely, and she has you to thank for that. Usually, she is the poised and reliable figurehead of the Knights. But with you, she has no need to uphold her imperative image and allows herself to be…well, herself. The Dandelion knight can't help but laugh as you gape at her when she expresses her fondness for the second male lead instead of the main lead in the newest novel you had recommended.

The said knight treasures your friendship and considers you to be one of her closest confidants. Despite being the intellectual and organized person you are, Jean knows you are always eager to help your fellow adventurers in the field--And yes, that even included Bennett, who was known to run into unfortunate circumstances. She has learned too much about you: From your aversion to dealing with counterproductive and fickle individuals to your inclination to work late into the night and innate ability to coerce her into a few of your antics--She finds herself smiling at the memory of how soaked her pants were when as you two attempted to catch some crabs along Falcon Coast.

Honestly, the swordswoman is well aware of her developing feelings for you. However, she is still hesitant to pursue anything further. From a young age, there had been expectations from the eldest daughter of the Gunnhildr clan, and Jean has never shunned her responsibilities. But like everyone else, she was human and had hopes and desires. Jean is well-read and has heard of love. Some say it's a mysterious entity that influences a person's emotions and behaviours to a certain extent. In the past, she hasn't had the chance to entertain such a thought, but when a warm spring-like feeling bursts into bright-coloured fireworks in her chest upon laying eyes on you once more, she finally understands it.

Hmm, Maybe she'll be brave enough to tell you one day, but for now, she is satisfied to watch how your face lights up like the break of dawn upon meeting each other once again…

[hyacinthian-chateau]

Hello!

Congratulations on 200 followers!!! ₍ᐢ. ̫.ᐢ₎ ♡

Can I request a matchup please?

I’m gemini, ISFP and i can describe myself as a person who have trust issues, so it’s hard for me to open up to people at first. Despite of this i love affections in various expressions. Compliments, hugs, smooches - I really like to show attachment to my family and friends! Even if it seems so clingy tbh.

Sometimes i'm overwhelmed by emotions and i became rude and harsh in communication, for which I later regret. Let's says my mood always changes by unexplained reasons, yeah…

I'm a bit sarcastic and also unconsciously criticize myself by making self-destructive jokes, thanks to my past, but however my small circle of closed friends says that I mostly looks like a chihuahua - just as small, chaotic and bitey in a good way tho. Even if i more on introverted side i'm eccentric and active in some ways. I mean who one day came to work with invoices mustache and beard just because wanted to? Yep, me. A little weird me.

I have specific tastes in everything from eating french fries with ice cream as sauce to non-standard combination of clothes and colors. It maybe sounds oddly but i like strange and absurd memes, dumb puns and black humour, and i quite often use them in conversations.

I adore astrology and mysticism. Some kind of mystery of the world attracts me, gives me ground for reflection, thereby forcing me to spend almost all my free time on it, and I find it really interesting. I also like everything related to maritime culture and mythology. Warm rainy days, autumn season and evening time of day when the sun slowly sets over the horizon. And I also really like such simple little things as cute pebbles that can be found not only on the beach, but also on an ordinary street, key rings and other seemingly unnecessary trinkets.

What about dislikes? Well, at first it’s wasps. Thank God that I didn't have to come into close contact with them. In my opinion, it's better to run from a flock of geese than from a gang of wasps. The second is acute. I can't and don't like too spicy food and dishes. One day I ate very spicy noodles and my lips cried from burning for half an hour. Not a very good feeling, especially when they are cracked...

When I was a little girl, I attended every school circle, but I didn't stay in any of them due to my frequent variability in both character and interests, and it's a little difficult for me to understand which hobby has sunk into my soul more, heh. I knitted, drew, and excelled in sports - everything in a row, but a little. If singing in the bathroom is considered a hobby, then this is one of them that stayed with me throughout my growing up, ha ha. I will give preference to drawing and writing more, perhaps.

I'm sorry, if it came out quite a lot, but I was happy to share! Thank you for your work, I hope you have a lovely day! ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

Kaeya, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You and Kaeya unintentionally become entangled with each other.

The Cavalry Captain is an admired figure within the City of Freedom. People who have had the pleasure of either meeting or working with him would describe him as a charismatic and skillful man who could charm anyone. And yet behind the handsome face and flirtatious smile lies much more once when you dig deeper.

Kaeya would have mistaken you for an adventurer when you first met as you dressed so differently--stylishly, if he says so himself--compared to your scholarly counterparts. In the beginning, the eye-patched man barely had the opportunity to speak to you as you were mainly either conducting an experiment, assisting both Albedo and Sucrose in the lab, or busy collecting data in the field.

At first, you've remained cautious of the eye-patched man and maintained a cordial relationship with him like everyone else, that is, until you finally snapped one day. The said man enjoyed stretching your patience as he constantly pokes fun at your shorter stature, which earns him a sarcastic response. At the same time, you attempt to avoid his attempt to use your head as an armrest. From there on, Kaeya decides that you are someone he wishes to banter with more often; He's found another person to annoy, next to Diluc.

Despite all your ribbing, the two of you get along quite well, and the navy-blue-haired male has taken the initiative to become your close associate. He is mindful and learns of your tendency to be moody, leading you to become agitated. He exercises patience and tries to cheer you up in various ways: From treating you to some Sticky Honey Roast, to telling an outlandish story that leaves you doubting the credibility of it all, or inviting you to go for a walk along Cider Lake when twilight approaches. At some point, you had suspected that he had left the Windwheel Asters on your workbench after a hectic work week.

It's sooner rather than later that Kaeya becomes a kindred soul and dubs you a 'Genius' when he gets to taste the mix of alcohol you had been concocting. The two of you also tend to frequent the various taverns with either Rosaria or Venti within the city walls. Despite his relatively high tolerance for alcohol, the sword wielder tries his best to listen when you go on a tangent about Ancient Maritime countries within Teyvat. Still, he can't seem to concentrate on your words when you look so animated under the dim tavern lights; He can't help but think you're absolutely striking as he shoots you a cheeky smile.

The slight change in the Cavalry Captain doesn't go unnoticed. Jean has caught her subordinate staring at you from a distance while you were busy speaking to Mona, a frequent visitor who became your fast friend. She's glad he's taken a liking to you but gently reprimands him when he takes too long to focus back on the task at hand. The resident librarian is also well aware of the fondness Kaeya has for you. Lisa, being the prodigy that she is, has roped several female members of the knights, which even included Outrider Amber and even Captain Eula, into creating a secret couple name if you two ever decide to get together.

The tanned man always offers to let you work within his office when he discerns the first signs of exhaustion on your pretty face. You've always been a lively person, but it's during this time that he doesn't talk much but instead lets you share what's on your mind--Whatever the circumstances are, the said man is more than happy to receive you if you ever decide to visit. By the end of your visit, he finds himself enveloped in a brief hug and a light peck on his cheek as you give him your thanks….If you ever bothered to look back, you would have been greeted by the sight of the usually confident Cavalry Captain's ruddy cheeks as he attempts to process what exactly had just happened.

It is somewhere along the line that Kaeya can't help but feel an odd sensation bubbling in his chest when he thinks about you; He's been experiencing it constantly nowadays. He's observant and calm, but he can't help but dive head first when it concerns you. He knows that despite building a façade, he unconsciously drifts toward you and doesn't understand why exactly. He's also somewhat changed as he allows himself to be genuine with his words and actions while wishing to be the closest to you. Slowly but surely, he's unsure when exactly you started to become a part of him.

There are a lot of hurdles to overcome, but your slight air-headedness whenever he tries to flirt with you somewhat dampens his spirits. Maybe he'll invite you to watch the stars at Starsnatch Cliff tonight. And perhaps even adopt a more direct approach this time around?

Huh? You say he's been acting a bit odd lately? Oho~!☆ Then you should speak to him about it if you're so worried.

Oh, but don't worry. You don't need to search too hard…

[hyacinthian-chateau]

Hey!! I'd like to request a matchup :> I don't mind any female or male characters! I guess one way to describe my personality is that cliche weird band kid? im pretty quiet and dont talk much- i talk more often near friends but I prefer using actions more then words since talking is exhausting. I still like doing crazy shit!! uhh my hobbies are drawing, writing, and dancing. I like horror, crystals, cats, and old cartoons, I hate weird bugs and rrly quiet rooms. Hope I did this right!!

Yoimiya, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You and Yoimiya become partners in crime.

Being a close relative to the current head of the Chisato clan, you were a frequent visitor to the Tenryou Commission, as you were required to attend some of the critical civil affairs meetings. Despite your busy schedule, you still found time to pursue one of your favourite activities--Shopping. It was mid-day when you entered the Yae Publishing House, hoping to peruse their newest publications. You had been browsing the shelves when you heard a familiar voice calling out to you. Instantly, you catch sight of a certain strawberry-haired blonde who returns your grin with a broad smile of her own as she walks over.

You had met the Queen of Inazuma's Summer Festivals a few years ago after she had accidentally run into you one evening, looking quite frazzled while trying to set up for the fireworks show for the evening. Deciding to offer help, you eagerly put yourself to work by setting up booths and handing out fliers and sparklers. By the end, you sat beside the Pyrotechnician as you two watched multiple colourful explosions decorate the evening sky. By the end, you and Yoimiya become fast friends, chatting late into the evening.

Everyone, including your family, admires the current proprietress of Naganohara Fireworks, who is always welcome into your home. If the two of you weren't busy with your respective work, you would be found attempting to fish at one of the lakes on Watatsumi Island or treasure hunting at Jinren Island; the Pyrotechnician is always ready to come along for any adventure! It becomes a joke among your friends that you two are joined at the hip.

Frankly, the young bow-user must have been hanging around you too much that she had started adapting some of your quirky terminology--The poor girl had been so embarrassed to explain what she meant about 'stanning' the Lady of the Kamisato clan to the said person's older brother who can't help but overhear upon passing the two of you on the busy streets; Ayato has also taken using the term only as an inside joke between you three.

Yoimiya knew you to be a timid individual who sometimes has difficulty communicating with others outside your social circle. You can only imagine her immense surprise to find you performing with a few others during one summer festival; She cannot help but stare in amazement when you play an instrument, clearly too mesmerized at the sounds you can produce. Once the show had ended, onlookers could not help but think how adorable the strawberry-haired blonde bombarded you with compliments after the performance.

Yoimiya is patient and understanding and knows what makes you tick. Do you nervously bite your nails? She paints your nails with sparkling designs to keep you from biting them. Are you experiencing some performance anxiety? You are greeted by Yoimiya alongside Itto and his gang members in your living room, ready to be your audience. Are you scared of spiders? Well, She'll try to catch it instead of trying to exterminate it by using her Pyro vision--Last time she did that, she almost set fire to a portion of Chinju Forest.

Despite everything, the lively girl acknowledges your real character: A creative and sympathetic individual who places value on kind actions--She's seen how you offer help to the elderly neighbours with some of their work, or treating a weary-looking traveller and their floating companion to lunch at Komore Teahouse, and even giving away whatever snack you had to the children in the pretense that you were full when reality you hadn't even eaten anything all day.

Recently Yoimiya has been experiencing…something odd. Even after being friends for a long time, she becomes self-conscious whenever you are around. It was uncharacteristic of her, but she would find herself stuttering whenever you held her gaze a moment longer or if she accidentally stood a little too close to you. Even when you were away, heat would flood her cheeks whenever her mind wanders toward the memory of you two.

One day, These feelings only seem to surge when she catches a glimpse of a page within the confines of the small notepad you tended to carry around. Usually, She isn't one to pry into another's business. Still, she couldn't help herself when the ledger was lying in the open. The craftswoman catches a detailed sketch of her, what appears to be her smiling brightly in your direction while holding unto an unwrapped sweet. Citrine-coloured eyes also catch sight of a short but alluring haiku, highlighting her quirky charms and kind heart. With reddening cheeks, the Pyro-user quickly averts her eyes when she hears your footsteps and feigns innocence when you ask about her red face.

But seriously, does this mean that…you like her just as how she fancies you!? I guess there's one way to find out~!

[hyacinthian-chateau]

Hi, can I please have a match up with a male character for genshin?🙏🏼

For my personality : I'm definitely a big introvert, I need time to open up to someone but once you know me, I can be quite playful & I like teasing my friends/family.

I'm an INTP, which means I'm often stuck in my own head, when I'm with my group of friends, I don't talk a lot since I'm more focused on my own thoughts. I usually prefer to listen than talk.

I can be quite talkative when I'm interested by a subject & I can be rambling a lot because of my excitement.

I always need to analyse everything, like I need everything to make sense & if a little detail doesn't make sense then it's going to disturbs me.

I'm stubborn & prideful, probably my 2 worst traits.

My love language is probably acts of service, I'm not very direct & open with my feelings but I think actions speak louder than words so I like to do little things for others.

My dislikes :

I hate big crowds or loud places, they make me uncomfortable, I prefer quiet & chilled places.

I don't like clingy people, I need my personal space & I can be easily annoyed if someone doesn't respect it.

I don't like people who are too extravagant, like when they're too loud or when they're overreacting, I feel like they just need attention or they're not genuine.

Physical affection for me is also a no or it needs to be minimal like holding hands for example.

I'm a very picky eater so there are a lot of aliments I don't like.😅

I hate judgemental people, who are judging when it doesn't concerned them or without knowing the full story.

I don't like it when I'm ignored or when someone is interrupting me when I'm speaking.

Bugs...🤐

My likes & hobbies :

I love anything sweet, I have a huge sweet tooth!

I'm whipped for animals, I just can't resist them! I'm definitely more confortable with them than with humans.😅 (I'm a cat mom by the way!)

I love poetry, sometimes I try to write poems but I don't think I'm good at it so I prefer to just read some.

I like writing in general, like I said before, I tend to be stuck in my own head so writing my thoughts helps me emptying my head & organize my thoughts.

I enjoy nature, so I like to take a break & just walk in some quiet & peaceful places like forests for example.

I like talking about random facts, if I think something is interesting then I want to share it with others.

I love baking & cooking! It's probably my biggest love language! It always makes me happy when I see my family enjoying my food!

I think I'm a good listener so I'm always honoured when someone comes to me too seek for my help. I always like helping people by listening & giving advices.

I'd love to travel & discover the world, it's probably my biggest dream.

Thank you in advance.🤗

Diluc, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You and Diluc unknowingly find yourselves involved with one another.

The young master of Dawn Winery is a popular figure among the people of Mondstadt. Most of those who interact with the Ragnvindr heir best describe him as a courteous gentleman who tends to come across as either quite frank or, according to the young Klee, grumpy. But regardless of what people perceived him to be, there was more to the aloof and handsome noble than meets the eye.

The first time he notices you is when he volunteers to pick up the weekly order in place of Charles from the nearby bakery. Despite being dressed plainly and covered in a bit of flour, your quiet comeliness catches his attention as you greet him. The stoic man had never been one to make small talk but finds himself learning that you travelled quite a bit after taking note of the knickknacks decorating perched on your store's shelves. By the end of the visit, the nobleman returns to Angel's Share with an extra box of pastries and a quiet liking to you.

As the years passed, the two of you gradually became good friends. It became customary for either of you to visit the other's establishment occasionally. Your workers would catch a glimpse of the uncrowned king and you within your back office, nursing a cup of Valberry tea as he tries your latest pastry creation. On the other hand, you would be occasionally found on one of the high stools at Angel's Share while providing some feedback regarding the new items on his menu. It was much to the surprise of everyone when the two of you collaborated on a set course meal during the Windblume festival, an endeavour which received praise from the residents.

Speaking of the citizens, a growing number of them had taken note of the Pyro-user's change in demeanour. Yes, Diluc had always been a gentleman, and yet no one can deny how the usually intimidating man's gaze would turn soft upon settling over your figure. From hanging his coat over your frame to protect you from a gust of cold wind to going as far as to keep you company as you stop to pet every cat or dog that crosses your path when during the walk home and putting aside a small dish of imported sweets from Inazuma or Sumeru to go with your cocktail, courtesy of Diluc when visiting the tavern. It doesn't take a genius to see that the said man has grown fond, if not quite infatuated, with you. And Diluc very well knows this.

Over the time the tavern owner has known you, he has gotten a better idea of your mannerisms. He knows you to be a dedicated and tenacious individual when it involves your profession as a patissier. Or how you prefer to splurge on kitchen equipment which would ease the workload for your employees. And like any average person, the Claymore user knew you to opt for a short walk around the city to clear your mind after dealing with people after a busy day. But like many, there were also times when you pushed yourself a little too hard…and in those trying days, you would sometimes end up at the tavern for a drink or two.

One summer evening, the Winery owner happened upon your bleary-eyed figure sitting between a mirthful Kaeya and Venti at Angel's Share. It doesn't take long for the Pyro-user to realize that the two must have bugged you to drink a little more than usual, leading to the point where you were in no condition to walk home alone. Handing the towel to a nearby Charles, Diluc can only glare at the two troublemakers as you bid both the bard and captain a good night before escorting you home.

Typically, you had always been a talkative person when alcohol was involved, but Diluc becomes somewhat self-conscious when you stare at him with a silly grin as he walks you home. With a well-posed question, It doesn't take much for you to share what was going through your lovely head. There was a saying that drunken words were honest thoughts, and Diluc was no stranger to them as he was used to dealing with intoxicated patrons…But the usual stoic expression on the Pyro-user's face is quickly replaced by a flustered one when a confession tumbles past your lips.

With his mind running, the Pyro-user's is well aware that he doesn't need to even look at a mirror to know that his face must have been the same shade as his tresses. The seconds must have turned into a few minutes, and Diluc pauses when he catches the tight-lipped smile on your face as you attempt to change the subject when you two finally reach the door to your home.

That's the thing words; once a person starts measuring how much to tell, they keep everything to themselves, leaving others to misunderstand. Diluc was never one to act upon his emotions. Yet, when you begin apologizing for making him uncomfortable and urging him to forget about it, he finds himself reaching for your hand. The young tycoon has never been good at expressing himself, yet he finds himself determined to respond in kind to your feelings.

Archons, the man has never met a stubborn person like you whose contagious smile and presence lit up his dreary existence; He fell in love with you a long time ago but just never found the resolve to tell you in fear that it would be too much of a burden. For years he's maintained friendly relations, as you deserved much better. And yet his feeble attempts to distance himself from you never works out as he constantly reminds himself of you as he goes on with his everyday life.

And yet love, the elusive mystery that is it, seemed intent on finally catching up to the Ragvindr heir when he witnessed the red blooming over your cheeks. The tension in Diluc's frame dissipates as he notes the faint grin on your lips as he meets your gaze, only then finally noticing how close the two of you stood next to each other. He watches as you reach toward his face, tentative fingertips grazing his jaw ever so slightly.

At that moment, he lets himself indulge, letting you feel his cheek before finally leaning into the touch while staring into your bright gaze with utter fondness. In the quiet darkness, the Pyro-user rests his gloved hand over yours as he affirms his affections. And being the witty person you had always been, you dub the red-haired nobleman a mischievous rascal, to which he reciprocates with a small laugh.

The two of you would have stayed wrapped up in each other but found yourselves slightly shaken at the sound of the nearby bell chiming. Finally taking note of the late hour, the winery owner slowly is prepared to bid you goodnight but is beaten to it when you press a chaste kiss against his cheek. Flashing the winery owner an affectionate grin and bidding him a good night, the Pyro-user can only gape as you swiftly disappear behind the safe confines of your home.

Sleep takes its time as Diluc lays awake in bed that night. His thoughts drifted towards you and the events that had transpired that evening. Ever since his father's death and his adoptive-brother's revelation, he's been adamant in keeping people at arm's length to spare both himself from becoming attached and getting hurt. Unfortunately, you had effectively wormed yourself past the high walls of his heart, and now he cannot seem to find it in himself to distance himself from you any longer. Ultimately, he's decided to hold and cherish you despite not knowing what the future holds.

Today's been busy, especially when the Ludi Harpastum is just around the corner…Ah, it seems you have someone waiting to be served! And it doesn't seem like any regular customer…

Denial.

-- You really thought you could carry on being indifferent, but the truth is, no matter how adamantly you tried to detach yourself—He's been relentless when it came to pursuing you. The attraction between you two is fiercely palpable. It only takes a small push for someone to cross the boundary between personal security detail and client. Will you be the one to do so?

Childe

The moment you hear your alarm going off on your bedside table, you immediately hit the button to silence it. It takes a few more minutes for your hazy mind to gather itself and even longer for you to sit up. Your eyesight takes a few moments to adjust before you finally decide to make your bed, gather your clothing and make your way to the shower.

Once in front of the foggy bathroom mirror, you tried to organize your thoughts while dressing for the day. After a few minutes of fixing your hair into its usual style and making yourself look presentable, you finally walk back into the bedroom to draw the curtains back. The sun was barely over the horizon as you find yourself in the small kitchenette, preparing a cup of tea before heading out for the day.

You silently pondered what your agenda would be looking like today as you leaned against the countertop. Half an hour passes before you finally gather all your necessities for the day before making your way to the penthouse, located on the top floor of The Golden House, a residential and commercial building located in Liyue Harbour's Sea of Clouds District.

Shortly after knocking on the large Fir wood doors of the entryway, you enter the luxurious apartment of your client in wake of entering a series of numbers on the keypad door lock. The lights were already on and you concluded that your charge must be already out of bed and currently having breakfast. The sound of utensils against porcelain and the soft hum of the small kitchen television led you to peek inside.

"Good Morning, Sir."

It had been over four years since you found yourself being hired by your current client--A handsome young executive officer from Snezhnaya with choppy ginger locks and eyes the colour of the deep ocean floor. You are greeted back by the said individual who flashes you a grin while helping himself to a plate of what looks like sunny-side-up eggs, cherry tomatoes and toast.

"Morning, Girlie. Care for some breakfast?"

"No thank you." You quietly stand to the side, paying no mind to the nickname he had designated you all the while sighing almost dramatically. "I already had something this morning, Sir."

“A cup of tea isn’t breakfast.." The man teases you before adding. "Also, how many times did I tell you to just call me Ajax?"

"Duly noted, Sir Tartaglia." For the umpteenth time, you give the ginger-haired individual the same response as he takes a sip from his mug before sitting down and showing you a photo of his younger siblings.

Although you had taken to addressing your boss formally, it doesn't deter the man from being overly friendly. In the few years you had known the ginger-haired man, he has made it a part of his routine to intrude upon your quiet haven of an apartment every weekend. He has also taken to bringing you a homecooked meal, always using different excuses to visit every time.

Initially, you humoured your boss but you eventually came to realize that the said man wasn't concerned for your well-being but has rather taken a liking in antagonizing you. You can't count the number of times the ginger-haired man had staged various incidents to fluster or irritate you which have yet to ruffle your feathers.

But as much the Snezhnayan wanted to paint himself in an affluent light, you were well acquainted with the fact that your boss concealed his true nature. 'Tartaglia' and 'Childe' were merely aliases that were designated to the said man after joining the ranks of the Harbingers, a militaristic branch of the infamous organization called the Fatui. Even before you worked for the man, there had been rumours about those involved with the said faction--especially your client.

It had been a little over four years since you had been serving as his escort and you couldn't shake the feeling that your client was hiding his true nature underneath his affable guise. There had been whispers of the man being an unpredictable and ruthless belligerent and you wouldn't doubt those claims--You've seen how he looked at a couple of business suppliers and distributors who refused to concede to his demands. It's only later on that you found out that their ventures either failed or filed for bankruptcy--You never pry as to how it happened but you suspect that the Childe had a hand in it.

The sound of an incoming call coming from your boss' phone interrupted him mid-story. Taking that as an indication that your boss would need some privacy, you silently leave the room to retrieve the gray suit jacket that had been haphazardly draped on the back of the living room couch. You watch as the man scarfed down the rest of his toast and finished off the rest of his coffee from the foyer before depositing his plate into the sink.

"Yes, yes. I saw it last night." He speaks evenly although his actions are hurried. "I'll make sure to take a look at the newest additions."

He sends you a thankful look when he walks into the living room with his cheek still pressed against the flat of his phone while you held out his coat towards him. He slips one of his arms into the awaiting cotton fabric as you help him don the jacket with ease. The phone is swiftly interchanged into his other hand and you maneuver the clothing around him with ease. For a quick moment, you can't help but admire his firm-looking back before moving away so he can properly end the short phone call.

"Many thanks." Once your boss had secured the buttons on his jacket, he joins you out into the hallway. "What would I do without you?"

"I'm sure you could find things to do, Sir."

You both make your way toward the elevator which doesn't take long to open. Allowing your taller companion to enter first, you follow suit as he presses the button to the floor leading into his department. Your boss is greeted by a receptionist, a young brunette, who seems quite upbeat considering how early it was. He gives her a small wave as he strolls through the vast hallway. The offices began to slowly fill up with people and as you passed others, you received a few greetings from those you recognized. Following the executive, until he finds himself within the confines of his office, you watch as he is greeted by his secretary, Miss Lyudochka before he has a chance to settle in his office chair.

"Good Morning." She pleasantly addresses the both of you before holding up what looks to be a stack of papers. "I will need to you take a look at some of these documents that had been sent from Sir Pulcinella's department last night. Also, your agenda for the day—“

You keep a blank expression as the young lady continues about the day’s schedule while a soft sigh escapes your client. In the short time, you had known boss, you had concluded that Childe preferred to be in the field and showing recruits the ropes instead of being stuck in an office, regardless of how nicely decorated or how lovely the skyline looked.

Shortly after the raven-haired secretary finishes the briefing, you excused yourself as well. It was a routine at this point and your boss merely looks over your leaving form from behind the monitor of his desktop, silently voicing if he could come along instead of having to check his e-mails and look at a stack of never-ending paperwork. You merely shake your head and glance at the documents on his sleek desk before excusing yourself from his office.

The workspace seemed to grow a little more lively as more workers arrived and began their day--You could already hear the sound of people lightly arguing with one another as they lined up at the coffee machine. Most of the office workers knew of you after an employee had accidentally mistaken you for a newbie, asking you to drop off a few documents at another division.

Of course, you quietly obliged seeing as the person looked quite frantic and you weren’t too busy but before you could tuck the folders into your arms, you were quickly intercepted by your boss. The executive sported a smiling but menacing expression on his handsome face as he explained that you were not a company employee but his security detail; He had emphasized the word 'personal'. From there on, most of the office workers became more mindful of your quiet presence.

You give a small wave to a few people who greeted you before slipping into the nearby stairwell that served as a fire escape. The sound of your shoes clicking against the concrete echoed as you quickly walked down the stairwell. It's only after completing the routine walkthrough that you were about to make your way back to your boss's office when you feel your phone vibrating in your pocket which you swiftly pick up.

“Is everything alright, Sir Tartaglia?”

“Not really. I'm starving and it's almost lunchtime.”

"I can call to make reservations at the Heyu Tea House--"

"We always go there." Your boss interrupts you with a whine whilst you find yourself standing in front of the reflective doors leading to the elevator. “Wait. Where are you right now?"

"The main lobby, Sir. If you would like, I can get the car and you can wait in front of the vestibule."

The instant you finish speaking, the elevator doors open and reveal your boss, who had foregone his suit jacket and his phone still pressed against his ear. It only takes an instant for the taller individual to pick out your form among the sea of business suits before breaking into an easy-going grin. The man ends the phone call and pockets his smartphone as he approaches you.

"Ah, perfect timing. Let's go." In a blink of an eye, you found yourself being steered away towards the revolving doors with an eager hand clasped around your wool-clad shoulder. "There's this bakery a few blocks away that I wanted to try. My treat."

"Sir, T-this is quite unsafe." You try to reason with him you follow him through the busy streets until the two of you stand side by side at a crosswalk. "It's quite crowded and it'll be hard for me to respond if a situation arises."

"Ah, I have an idea."

The feeling of Childe's arm wrapping around your shoulders makes you freeze but you are jostled into motion when the pedestrian traffic signal flashes. You almost trip over your feet as the sensation of a well-defined torso, hidden underneath the soft cotton button-down, was pressed up against your own as you continued to walk. Thankfully, your usually stoic face didn't betray how flustered you were currently feeling and your companion didn't seem to notice.

"You should hold onto me tighter if you don't want to get lost, Girlie." It takes a few seconds for you to recover and the sound of your client chuckling beside you was enough to warrant a blank stare from you. "Hmm? What's the matter?"

"This makes it all the more difficult, Sir.”

“But doesn’t this make it more fun?” The man merely flashes you a wide grin, keeping a steady hold on your shoulder as the two of you continue to walk down the block.

“…I suppose.”

To onlookers, the two of you would have looked like a regular couple going to lunch instead of a protectee dragging their escort to who knows which place. Of course, You were used to accompanying the man but it was slightly unnerving as more than a handful of people kept staring or glancing in both of your directions. You accredited that to the man beside you who tended to garner attention due to his attractive face and figure--As much as it embarrassed you to admit. Any man or woman would have jumped at the opportunity to cling to the arms of a handsome and rich man like your client and you wouldn’t judge them at all.

"We're here."

Your thoughts are interrupted when you both find yourselves in front of a small but quaint-looking bakery. You were about to gently remove Childe's hold on your shoulder and place some semblance of space between you two but to your astonishment, the man simply grabs unto your hand and tugs you inside. Just like a few minutes ago, you find yourself being dragged into the shop rather unceremoniously before you have a chance to interject--Seriously, this man would be the sole cause as to why you had early gray hair.

The soft jingling of a bell signals both of you entering and an older woman greets you from behind the breakfast counter with a kind smile. The executive returns the greeting as he tugs you along while glancing at the handwritten menu board hanging from behind the counter. The two eventually find themselves conversing in their mother tongue and with the words exchanged between them, you could piece together that the woman was the wife and co-owner of the small bakery.

"Any recommendations?" The smile on the ginger's visage remains as he eyes some of the baked goods behind the glass case.

"The Calla Lily Seafood Soup is made fresh every day and a popular lunch item." The female motions to the picture by the top left corner and the dish does indeed look quite appetizing. "It goes well with any sandwich on the menu."

"Ah, then we'll have that." You feel your client squeeze your hand and you turn your attention to him. It's only then you realized that until your hand was still in Childe's much larger one. Also, you just noticed how close you had been standing beside the taller man. "Is that alright with you?"

“Uh. Sure.”

Those azure-coloured orbs stared back at you and you can’t help but seem to get lost in your client’s gaze. You recognize the look he’s giving you and it made your stomach flip. It’s only when the sound of another customer entering the establishment causes you to break from your daze.

As quickly as you can, you avert your eyes to the side to regain your sanity--You could feel the heat creeping over your cheeks. Fortunately, the executive releases your hand to reach for his wallet--He doesn't seem to notice the effect he had on you. You take that time to look around the small establishment at the same time mentally berating yourself as you stand a few steps behind him while he proceeds to pay for the food.

Just because your boss had a penchant for being a little too tactile didn’t mean that he liked you in that sense. Yes, you may have taken to more than a liking to the man but ultimately such daydreams and thoughts shouldn't even be entertained, much less exist and you knew that all too well.

Surely there were more affluent and gorgeous women that filled the streets of Liyue who could easily catch his eye—Heck! There was even a surplus of such women at the office. It was a hard pill to swallow but why settle for a plain-looking bodyguard? Surely, he saw you as a subordinate and a comrade at most. In the end, having close relations doesn't change the fact that you are merely hired security personnel on a contract.

Soon enough, Childe turns around from the counter while the older lady disappears into the nearby kitchen. If he’s noticed the stiffness on your face while slipping the receipt into his back pocket, he doesn’t comment on it and instead motions you to come and sit with him at a more secluded part of the establishment. Once seated, you are careful to act in your usual character while your boss easily slips into a conversation as usual.

Supplying a couple of perfectly timed short replies, you can't help but glance around at the small space in a nonchalant manner. Yes, it was to ensure your client's safety at all times but it was also another tactic to avoid looking at the Snezhnayan seated across you. It's only when you hear your client say something unintelligibly under his breath that you spared him a look.

"Hm?”

"I was wondering what's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"

"Nothing too important." You answer softly before pondering for a moment. “But if I may, I would like to say something, Sir."

“Go on right ahead.”

"In the four years, I had been under your employment, I never understood why you hired someone like me." You pause for a moment before continuing. "I'm not the greatest in communicating with others, nor the strongest, or the most experienced."

You had been meaning to ask for a long time but always hesitated since there never seemed to be a fitting time. The atmosphere remains relaxed between the two of you but you grow a little tense when your client doesn't respond for a good long minute. Your boss’ fingers had paused from tapping against the laminated table menu in front of him before he looked up at you.

"Hmm, good question." The corner of Childe's lips tilted up ever so slightly as he leans back and shrugs playfully. "It's because you're cute."

Before you could roll your eyes and lightly admonish the man beside you, the older woman from earlier appeared with a tray that contained what appears to be lunch. The heavenly smell of the Calla Lily soup and salad tossed in tangy vinaigrette makes your mouth water almost instantly. You and Childe help the older woman to make room for the other dishes which quickly took up the small table top. Soon enough, the older woman excuses herself to see to the other customer at the counter and both you and your boss are left on your own.

"You look unsatisfied with my answer." Your client chuckles while unfolding the napkin wrapped around the silverware and you quietly do the same.

"You are not inclined to answer my question, Sir. Again, it's not that important-"

"It's because you're an extremely tolerant person." There is a hint of exasperation in your client's voice as he nurses his bowl of soup. "It drives me up the wall at times."

"I'm…sorry?"

You can't help but feel somewhat offended but your boss merely shakes his head at you facetiously. You watch as Childe blows on the spoon and then slips the silverware into his awaiting mouth. You avert your eyes in an attempt to avoid staring at your client and instead spear your fork into the lettuce with more force than necessary.

“You've always been respectful and amendable to everyone, regardless of their position but you should be mindful of other people.”

You could only make a sound of agreement before taking a bite of your food with a passive expression on your face. It was immensely rare for the executive to provide some sort of feedback on your conduct and you always tried to listen regardless of how outlandish it may be at times.

"It’s a wonderful quality but you need to tone it down a little, you know?”

“Of course. I'll take it into consideration, Sir.”

You let your boss continue to talk whilst you move on to the soup. The light yet rich texture of the soup was quite delicious. It had been quite a long time since you had something that tasted quite as good as this--the delicate crab meat and mint was refreshing and it vaguely reminded you of a similar dish from your childhood.

You’ve stopped listening at some point because, to be frank, you hadn't eaten anything since that morning. You focus on the soup once more, taking a small piece of bread and dipping it into the broth then take a bite--It's delicious. A minute passes and you realize that your charge hasn't said anything, you glance up to catch him looking at you with an amused expression.

"People are going to think that I starve my cute bodyguard."

"My appetite is perfectly normal, Sir." You carefully tuck your spoon to the side and dab at your lips, feeling somewhat embarrassed at being caught. "And please refrain from calling me that."

"What? Cute?"

The infuriating man's shoulders shake in silent laughter as he wipes his mouth with a napkin. You peer suspiciously from over your left shoulder as Childe leans back against his seat with one arm slung over the top rail of your chair in a relaxed manner. You felt a sudden spike in temperature as your body turned tense when stormy blue orbs slowly travelled up your seated figure in an apprising fashion before finally flicking up to meet your pretty eyes.

“Trust me, Sweetheart. I have many other lovely names for you." That dangerous smile only widens before briefly, his eyes glance at something behind you. You find yourself abruptly being pulled into your boss’ awaiting lap with that smile still plastered on his visage.

"S-Sir!"

"No sudden moves. I see Lyudochka outside and she must have realized I'm skipping out this afternoon.”

You feel your client whisper into your ear and before you can pull away, Childe’s palm rests on your lower back to keep you from moving. The sensation of your boss’ toned chest against your own was making you painfully flustered. There were other ways to hide both of your faces—like with the plastic menu—but you could tell that it would take quite a bit of effort on your part to convince your stubborn client regarding your idea.

"Sir, please make sure to consult me before making such abrupt decisions." You spoke after clearing your voice with the hopes of hiding your chagrin. "It would save both of us from…awkward situations."

"Oh? But I'm quite happy with this arrangement. " The man's voice turns into a deep and sultry tone that almost makes you shudder. "Comfortable even."

As if to prove a point, the ginger-haired man blew a small puff of air into your ear causing you to jolt in surprise—Seriously, he’s been relentless. As much as you tried to be impartial towards your client, there was always that feeling of anticipation as the tension between you two grew over the years.

Somewhere down the line, you had unintentionally become smitten with Childe—which also exasperated you. The man had taken up in accompanying you on your parameter walks on some mornings, crashing at your much smaller apartment in some evenings with home-cooked meals in hand, or dragging you to little lunch dates. In the last few months alone, he’s been blatantly invading your personal space in crowded spaces and especially at his workplace--It only escalated when he had 'accidentally' pinned you against a crowded elevator wall with both your bodies pressed up against each other almost indecently.

Really, you only had yourself to blame for overindulging the man who disregards the idea of personal space. While you were always quick to deflect your client's advances, Childe had been diligently waiting for the right moment—And the present looks to be the perfect opportunity.

"If you insist on being stubborn. I'll just keep chasing you.” You flinch as lithe fingers abruptly catch a hold of your hand.

“S-sir, T-this isn’t funny.” You tried to reason with the ginger, attempting to cover the stutter by quickly adding. “You're going a bit too far with your jokes.”

“You wound me, Girlie. I'm being very serious here.” The usually playful tone is replaced by a deep, gravelly one which sent goosebumps down your back. "Why so adamant about rejecting me? Hmm?"

You were painfully aware of the burning look directed your way and it made your stomach twist in both abasement and anticipation. The tension was thick enough to be cut with a knife. You could hardly feel the man gently playing with a lock of your hair before the very same hand gradually inched up to cup your chin, preventing you from looking elsewhere.

"Is it because I'm clientele?" The deep chuckle that follows makes your stomach flip but it's the next sentence that takes you by utter surprise.

"Or is it because you're too stubborn to accept that I want you as well?"

“S-Sir, I’m not—.”

“Oh? Should I prove you wrong then?”

If you thought there was no way your boss could rile you up any further, you were dead wrong. You are caught off guard amidst trying to deny your attraction to the ginger-haired man who abruptly leans in until your noses were brushing against each other. He pauses for a moment as if to tease you, letting his warm breath fan over your ruddy cheeks while bright blue orbs danced in elation at your stunned expression. You are about to reprimand your boss when he silences whatever complaint you might have by pressing his lips against your own.

The sensation of slightly chapped lips alongside the way those steady hands slowly found themselves tangled in your hair was enough to have the wind knocked out of you. You struggle feebly as a gasp escapes you and you can't help but grab onto your client's arms when you feel a talented tongue coaxing your lips open which sends your mind reeling. In the end, you can't help but whimper when the kiss turns heated and you find yourself unable to form even a coherent thought when he delves his tongue against yours.

It felt like a millennium has passed when the two of you finally break away from each other. The both of you are out of breath and you find yourself muddleheaded as you stare at him--The kiss was wonderful and much more than you had expected. In your daze, you unintentionally found your hands still holding onto Childe's biceps and once you found your voice, you finally manage to scold him breathlessly.

"There are better, much gentler ways to sweep a woman off her feet, Sir."

"I had no choice." Your boss laughs softly before gently running his fingers through your slightly mussed locks. "Neither do I hear you complaining.”

"This is harassment."

It’s an empty threat and both of you knew it; Childe has spent enough time around you to know that you were mostly bark and not enough bite when it comes to him. He's been with you for almost half a decade and it's in the past few months that he's decided that he wants you in his life for much longer. He knows his hard work had paid off when the guarded expression on your pretty face disappears.

"I couldn't help myself." He shrugs and gives you a wink, grinning. "And I'm sure neither could you, Girlie."

Your eyebrows involuntarily twitch at the comment but you also feel your cheeks blossoming with colour--Seriously, this man enjoyed pushing your buttons now more than ever. You can’t help but shake your head at him while he gives you a wide grin when you no longer pull away from his touch.

"But I'm relieved.”

"Were you thinking that I would reject you?"

"Knowing how straight-laced, you are? It's a possibility."

"You know me too well, Sir."

A small laugh escapes you and you feel the taller figure relax ever so slightly. The warmth that envelopes you felt foreign but also comforting at the same time as your client-turned-lover nuzzles his face into your collared neck--It's like you were meant to be in his arms after all this time. You can’t help but glance at the man who still has to move his face from your neck. At this close of a distance, you can't help but admire the faint freckles on his cheeks alongside the messy windswept auburn locks that framed his striking face. As if feeling your eyes on him, Childe opens his eyes to meet your gaze which you surprisingly don't avoid.

For a long time, you had always struggled with conveying your own emotions, never daring to give yourself to anyone until now. It's uncharacteristically bold but you can't help but feel content and light-hearted after voicing your thoughts with conviction. Perhaps, it was time to indulge yourself--even just a tiny bit.

"I love you."

The usually cheery and mischievous man seems to be stunned by your sudden confession and you watch as his eyes seem to light up while a faint but gradual dusting of redness appears on his cheeks. You can't seem to fight your lips as they twitch into a smile, knowing fully well that your boss has been caught off guard. Had you known it only took three words to send the Snezhnayan reeling, you would have told him much earlier as payback from all the times he teased you.

Hi Catharia!! I know it's been months already but this is the same person you recently matched up with Zhongli !! Thank you so much for providing a short but cute analysis and small scenarios <33 I greatly appreciate it and thank you again for taking the time to match people up! I swear the moment I have came across your match up story before I thought to myself that this is a unique and worth-it matchup, so i tried it sending one in for the first time! :D Have a great day! 💗

Hngnh...Thank you for the kind words Anon 💕

I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed the match-up + short scenario. It's always a pleasure and honour to hear that people are sending in their requests and enjoying some of my works at the same time.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to crank these match-ups fast enough--I blame it entirely on me being nit-picky and my need to top the last one with an even better scenario!

But in all seriousness, I appreciate these little interactions with you. Thank you and please make sure to come by once in a while~! 😉

[hyacinthian-chateau]

hello, may i request a matchup?

i would like to start off with, i would prefer to be matched with a male character but wouldn't mind a female. My name is Corpse and as for my personality: my top three kins are Dazai, Gojo, and Sunny (and am compared frequently to the first two and Shigure Sohma). I am an ENTP and 5w4, as well as an Aquarius sun with leo moon and rising. i like, sometimes, watching people i hate get what they deserve/laugh at their pain. i connect myself deeply to my philosophy and ideals that i have gained from the pain of my past.

i had to raise myself mostly on the internet and my friends joke that Welcome To the Internet is my theme song. My philosophy, in basics, is that i want to learn why people want to live and find out what makes others so happy. thats one of my dislikes, my mentality of not being able to see any good and therefore lacking empathy even when i know it is needed. I also hate any healthy foods, the sun, most people surrounding me and a few other things, especially zhongli (he knows what he did).

my likes/hobbies are writing, playing genshin, watching tv, reading and listening to music, rant about my theories, and just chill looking through the internet.

some extra info is that i am aroace (cupio and lithoromantic, and aegosexual). i think ive mentioned it before but ive been online basically my whole life, so i know a lot of information, most i probably shouldn't know if honest. comedy has also always been a huge role in my life, and its important for me that you know that latern rite is so far my favorite event.

I would also like to apologize for the length of this! i got really into writing it and the match ups said they were open at the time of this post. i hope you find yourself in good health and have a good day or night.

sincerely,

corpse husband knockoff TM.

Xiao, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You and Xiao find fulfillment in each other.

'The Conqueror of Demons' is depicted to be a mysterious sworn protector who swiftly appears alongside a strong gust of wind, instilling fear into whoever is unfortunate enough to become his foe. For over a millennia, the last remaining Yaksha worked tirelessly to subdue the hordes of demonic spirits that disturbed Liyue. But regardless of his harsh and intimidating nature, those lucky enough to encounter the said young man describe him as oddly gentle as he escorts them to safety. Never one to listen to gossip, you refused to believe such a thing--that is until you happened to encounter the said Adeptus one fateful evening.

You had called out the Guardian Yaksha's name in desperation after falling from a high cliff while trying to escape a group of treasure hoarders. In a blink of an eye, you found yourself in a protective hold as Xiao easily maneuvers the two of you into a much safer setting. Like the previous instances, Xiao doesn't say much and instead immediately disappears, leaving you to gape at the puff of smoke--unable to even thank him. As the days pass, you find bothered by your conscience which was rather uncharacteristic. Eventually, you learn from rumours that the teal-haired Adeptus frequented Wangshu Inn and you find yourself visiting the establishment with a small box of freshly picked fruits and a small bouquet consisting of Silk flowers and Glaze Lilies, a thank you gift of some sorts.

Initially, neither of you got off to the best start with the Yaksha trying to drive you away with harsh words and even harsher glares but you were stubborn. Xiao tried his best to intimidate you by either giving you the cold shoulder or unnervingly staring at you--He's rather perplexed when you do the same thing, seemingly unaffected. Suffice to say, even as Xiao ignored your presence, you visited the said young every two weeks, never failing to bring him something. And like every other relationship, it takes an even longer time for you to earn the Anemo user's trust--You've compared the Yaksha to a cute feral cat at some point but you can't say that out loud, can you?

Over the next few years, you find the aloof warrior warming up and in turn, Xiao finds you to be a rather interesting mortal. Other than being quick-witted and a natural conversationalist, you held an unquenchable thirst to learn about the human psyche--He listens patiently when you share the different theories as to what drove humans to attain the ultimate happiness. Furthermore, the Adeptus has deciphered your true nature since, he too, shares the same mindset. In truth--despite the vengeful and cold persona--Xiao knows that you were a capable teacher and placed a great amount of thought into both your words and actions even if they come across as blunt. You’re surprised to find the Anemo-user providing you with a bit of advice as you express your concern regarding your disconnect from other people's emotions--He lets you practice having a friendly conversation with him but what's the point when it's hard to guess his emotions with that handsome stoic face of his.

Frankly, it isn't just the Yaksha who had taken a shine to you as Ver Goldet and Smiley Yanxiao, the innkeeper and chef, have more than a few occasions offered free meals or a vacant room--They are rather surprised when you offer to help them around the establishment which only makes them fond of you--You were a sincere hard worker and Xiao doesn't seem to mind your presence. Speaking of the said individual, the Anemo-user recently found you to have such dry humour. You are surprised to find the Conqueror of Demons turning away to hide his chuckles.

It's on a warm evening that the teal-haired warrior becomes immensely aware of how far along your relationship has progressed. In the long years, he has been alone, he would have never guessed that he would find himself sharing a plate of Rice Buns and Almond Tofu with a mortal such as yourself. The relationship you shared with Xiao can be best described as comradery seeing as you both had experienced isolation at some point in your lives. It might not show but at this time, Xiao is content being able to experience what it feels to have a friend.

…But there are also times when he catches his heart pounding a little faster than usual when you flash him a toothy grin while handing him a plate of Almond Tofu--It may seem that the said desert may not be his only weakness anymore.

Are you not going to see him today? You're embarrassed, you say? Well, I am sure he doesn't mind you visiting.

[hyacinthian-chateau]

Cheese.

-- Dates with your partner are the best. What better way to commemorate your time together than a photo? Also, you need him to take a decent picture of you; A new background/profile is in order. Is he up to the task?

Characters: Diluc, Kaeya, Childe, Zhongli, Thoma, Ayato (ft. GN!Reader)

Notice: SFW.

╰ ☆ ╮

Diluc

Struggles to take a decent photo at first but, eventually gets the hang of it; Most of them turn out pretty good with the lighting framing you perfectly and the angle makes you look stunning—He sends the photo to himself as well and, he finds himself looking at it whenever he’s away for work.

.

Kaeya

Makes it look like he’s taking a photo of you, but really, he’s taking a selfie. He gives you that knowing smirk and just before he returns the phone to you, he makes the newly taken photo of him your new background. He’ll ask bystanders to take a photo of you two and seconds before the picture is taken, Kaeya tilts your chin toward him and kisses you out of nowhere. Sneaky.

.

Childe

Is a butthead and asks for a kiss as payment before taking a photo. He makes a show of taking the perfect photo, and you believe him, since the camera flash went off and everything. The ginger-haired man stifles a laugh when you are greeted by a picture of an ugly dog; He's got the audacity to say it's you. Kill him.

.

Zhongli

Your phone doesn’t make it back to you. It falls out of his hands when someone accidentally bumps into him, sending the device tumbling unto the concrete; You both hear something crack. Just before he's about to pick it up, a car speeds along the road, and you tug the brunette out of the way instead of saving the remains of your phone. Get him some tea so he'll feel better.

.

Thoma

You are very, very lucky. The blonde takes your photos like a pro and even compiles a lovely aesthetic reel you can share on social media. You joke if he's worked as paparazzi before, and he merely laughs, flattered. He's patient and will take a lot of photos upon your request. Gets all flustered after you settle on a selfie of you two instead as your new profile.

.

Ayato

His photos always turn out blurry--You're lucky if you can even see your nose in the photo. Ultimately, has to swallow his pride and either has to ask some random person to take a photo of you two or have you take the selfie; He's embarrassed. Is silently wondering if you two should just go to an actual studio and get the photos done professionally.

Hi! Um this is a bit awkward for me since this is my first time requesting, but I've been following your acc for a while so when I saw your match up event I wanted to participate :> Also congrats on hitting 200 followers :D

I would like to be matched up with a male character but a female is okay as well!

I don't have that many hobbies, but I do often read and play video games when I have free time(mostly genshin, honkai and persona), i also really like listening to music especially melanie martinez, alec benjamin and a bit of vocaloid songs as well. I'm not a very sporty person :( but I do enjoy playing badminton from time to time.

As for personality I am an INFP and rather quiet person but can be really loud and active with the right people. My friends often use the word confident to describe be since I've been in school pageants and when it comes to school reports. I like to think that I'm a good listener and good at giving advice when my friends or anyone is going through something. I find honesty and loyalty very attractive in a person even though sometimes I don't want to accept the truth. I'm also a giant sloth. I'm almost always lazy wanting to play games instead of actually doing what I'm supposed to be doing. Also a bit passive aggressive and get angry pretty easily.

I really like physical affection(I'm touch starved bc of Covid) and warm and long hugs. I also really like watching anime and music. I love love love ice cream and pizza, I haven't had those in a while. I love cats and dogs as well.

I hate horror, I get scared way too easily. Whenever I'm interested in a horror games I don't usually play I just search it up and watch on youtube, yes I am that much of a coward. Another thing I hate is roaches and spiders. I despise them. I also hate it when people talk behind my back, be it about me or my friends. Two-faced people, if they have a good reason I'll forgive them. And lastly I hate being pressured.

That's all! Thank you and congrats again on hitting 200!

Itto, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You and Itto had been an anticipated couple.

To the general inhabitants of Inazuma, Arataki Itto was considered one of two things: an imposing young man who prided himself on having the blood of the Crimson Oni in his veins. And on the other hand, he was regarded as an untameable ruffian who tended to run into trouble. But most would agree that even after being designated as an 'unemployed delinquent' and having his vision taken during the vision hunt decree, the leader of the Arataki gang remains as optimistic and upbeat ever.

From a young age, Itto had always been on friendly terms with other kids, and that included you--He still remembers how you would adorably hold onto his sleeve until he had to eventually leave to run a few errands for Grandma Oni. The platinum-haired boy had been such a constant presence in you and your sibling's life that even he’s watched you grow into a fine individual as the years passed. Both you and the statuesque man were so close that he was always welcomed to your family home, despite not sharing immediate relations.

The said Oni and you are so close that he even knew several of your secret quirks such as how you passed the time listening to music hailing from distant lands, your secret preference to occasionally indulge in treats such as ice cream or mushroom pizza, or how you always try to tough it out when reading Junkichi's newest horror-centric publication. He especially likes to keep you on your toes by pranking you with a rather realistic-looking papier-mâché spider he made with some kids--Majority of the time it ends with you chasing his laughing form with a broomstick.

Aside from your humorous mannerisms, Your academic prowess and considerate nature are some of the many things that Itto greatly admires. He's seen you drafting several contracts for multiple businesses and presenting various ideas during the meeting of the Tri-Commissions. Many people would agree that you were emotionally intuitive, and the l man can attest to that. There are times when Geo-user isn't feeling like his confident self, and yet you are there to listen and provide either sound advice or reassurance until he reverts to his old boisterous self.

Although the said man looks quite intimidating and slightly blunt, he turns soft when you are involved. The leader of the Arataki gang doesn't like to take sides if you get into an argument and instead prefers to duke it out with an Onikabuto beetle fight; You both agree that the loser has to hug the winner as an apology. Furthermore, Random people on the street have seen him turn all pouty after you had sought out Kazuha's help with a commission. But worry not! It's fairly easy to cheer up the said Oni with a well-placed compliment about his hair or treat him to a bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen at Shimura's. At times you wonder if Itto is an Oni considering that he acts akin to a big, excitable pup rather than an intimidating demon. What's unfortunate is how much of a hopeless cause he is when it comes to romance; Surely he can't be that dense. Right?

It’s during the summer festival that he witnesses how close you seem to be with a shared acquaintance of yours. The statuesque man can't help but feel a flare of discontent when he watches you accept a small trinket from the Kamisato’s housekeeper who had finished playing a Kingyo-sukui (Goldfish scooping) game. He grows all the more agitated when you and the Pyro-user share a few inside jokes and some snacks. Yes, he knew you and the said man go way back, having worked closely with one another multiple times. Obviously, you had the right to talk and hang out with anyone but…had you always been that familiar with the Kamisato's Housekeeper? It…was disheartening.

It's only when he accompanies you home after the festivities that Itto comprehends that the odd and unsettling sensation in his stomach was indeed jealousy. The thought of you sharing a gentle and intimate moment or holding unto another person's arm seemed to make him more miserable than irritated. It's only when you are about to pass through the gates of your home that he catches your hand. He stutters through his words and his usually piercing voice takes a quieter and nervous tone as he clumsily admits that he loves you more than a friend should. He would have gone on a lengthy tangent until you interrupt him with a bright grin and respond with an 'I love you'.

Instantaneously, the man lets out a delighted laugh and easily sweeps you into a hug, spinning you a few times before finally setting your smaller figure down--He finds himself grinning so wide that his mouth is starting to hurt. Before parting for the night, you had graced the much larger man with a chaste kiss on the cheek before abashedly wishing him a good night and disappearing behind the wooden gates. After the Geo-user has returned to his abode and settled into bed that he finds himself unable to sleep, his mind drifting back to the rather adorable expression on your face then getting all flustered at the sudden turn of events. He's not a religious man by any means but that night he is thanking all gods dwelling in Celestia. The platinum-haired man is unable to sleep well that night and gets up before the roosters could even crow. He had been planning to be the first one that greets you that morning but he quickly fumbles with his words when you casually by-pass greeting him. With another peck on his reddening cheek and a coy grin adorning your lips, you can't help but tease him lightly upon seeing the shadows under his crimson eyes.

Wah, Today looks to be the usual busy day at work. Oh, but it seems someone's here to visit you…

╰ ☆☆☆☆╮

Note: Thank you so much for taking part in this event and the kind works. I have re-edited this match-up countless times because I write too much. Apologies for taking so long--I've gotten a bit sick after having gone on a brief vacation. We hope to see you here again! :)

Additional Notes: Hanetsuki is an old Japanese game similar to modern day badminton, although it is played with but rectangular wooden paddles (hagoita), a shuttlecock (hane), and no net.

[hyacinthian-chateau]

Hello! May I order a matchup if they're still open?

Im short (below 5'1), nonbinary (he/they), and bisexual, prefers males! Intp/istp

My personality is a bit childish and I often get distracted. Around people i'm comfortable with, I'm loud and a bit energetic. But with new people I'm more shy and quiet. I like to think of what I say before speaking, but sometimes i instictively just say words, sometimes they don't even make sense.

I like spending time with people I like, even if it's in silence. I also like arts and computers/science/robotics, and my hobbies are drawing, playing video games, and occasionally baking.

I like sweets and sour things, and warm/hot things. I consider my love language as quality time/physical affection, though I don't think I'm confident in giving physical affection.

I dislike extemely bright things, but neon in the dark is very nice. I also dislike way too loud noise. I dont think I have much things I dislike, though.

Xingqiu, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You and Xingqiu bring out the best in each other.

The second son of the Feiyun Commerce Guild frequents the various shops located in Liyue's shopping district. To many, the Xingqiu is known to be a courteous and genial person with his attractive visage usually buried behind the latest novel that has caught his interest. Yet behind his refined and studious aura lies some something more, just waiting for you to uncover it.

It is the navy-haired young man who first notices you. You had been a constant patron at the Wanwen Bookhouse and kept to yourself. Xingqiu finds his attention stolen at the sound of your pleasant voice. The moment the store owner sees him, the young man is beckoned closer and you two find yourselves introduced to one another. The first thing he notices about you, besides the pleasing dulcet tone from earlier, is the shy but personable smile. Jifang mentions that the young man is a collector of multiple rare books. On the other hand, you were looking to acquire a certain publication written by the famous Chief Alchemist, Albedo. From that day on, Xingqiu and you would find yourselves running into each other.

Every weekend, you would find the second son of the Feiyun Commerce Guild waiting for you at the bookstore, already holding onto a book he was going to recommend to you. Initially, you were rather shy and intimidated by the refined aura that Xingqiu emanated. That was eventually dashed when your said companion decided he was in some need of excitement--And by that, he meant to pull a prank on Chongyun, another young man whom you had the pleasure of also being friends with. Over time, you eventually get over your shyness and become ensnared with the swordsman's antics.

Although you and Xingqiu enjoy pulling a few harmless pranks, Chongyun genuinely thinks the both of you bring out the best in each other. You had always made sure that the swordsman was on the right track and kept him from making brash decisions. While Xingqiu successfully coaxed you out of your shell all the while subtly helping you build up your confidence. He's observant enough to see that both of you had taken more than just a friendly liking to each other. It's quite obvious when the navy-haired young man uses his second novel as an excuse to have you spend more time with him. And if that doesn't confirm his qualms, he's also seen both your flustered faces after accidentally sharing a beverage and thus, by extension, an indirect kiss.

It had been one particular evening that you were invited by the navy-haired swordsman to a nearby tea house. Once seated, you began gushing about the newest book you had acquired and the poor merchant's son finds himself absently getting lost in the depths of your bright gaze. From your preferences for certain sweet and sour dishes served at Wanmin Restaurant, to your aversion towards crowded and immensely dazzling sceneries, and your tendency to become quite animated whenever the topic of sciences and engineering is mentioned; Xingqiu seems to know quite a bit about you, almost as if he's...enamoured.

Noting the lack of response, you decided to tease your companion--joking that he must have found you cute enough to be deeply distracted. Before you could add another quip, the second son of the Feiyun Commerce Guild decides it was now or never that he confesses. He found you physically and intellectually attractive to the point that he became giddy thinking about you. Before Xingqiu can elaborate any further, all his reservations are dismissed when he catches the slight flush appearing on your cheeks and the same bashful smile you gave him the first time you met.

It is during the walk home that your companion can't help but admonish himself; He was rather embarrassed at his lack of manners and a rather drab declaration of love. It took a bit of reassurance that everything worked out fine and that you were more than satisfied with how things turned out. If anything, he'll have more opportunities to make it up in the future since the two of you would be spending quite a bit of time together.

Yes, We know it's the middle of the workweek but you should go relax and have fun...

╰ ☆☆☆☆╮

[hyacinthian-chateau]

thanks so much in advance!

Hu Tao, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You and Hu Tao are quite the spirited pair.

The Wangsheng Funeral Parlour had been a business that stood the test of time, alongside its long list of successors who conducted their duties invariably. At the present time, The establishment is headed by the 77th director, someone who you heard of but hadn't the pleasure of meeting as of yet. There had been various rumours that the current head was quite strange and unpredictable, but at the same time an admirable and witty individual.

The day you had met Hu Tao had been like any other. You had been dawdling among the various stalls after just having finished lunch with a close friend of yours at the Wanmin restaurant. It must have been the sociable air that you emanated that drew her to you. With a burst of confidence and a slight tug of your sleeve, you are greeted by the petite young woman who, without missing a beat, inquires if you were interested in taking a look at their funerary services.

The young director had adopted a rather upfront yet liberal approach when it comes to attracting potential clients, but instead of being declined or shooed away, You had given the brunette a friendly smile. It’s only when you finally introduce yourself and enthusiastically accepted the flyer from the young woman that she knew that you were one of a kind.

It takes a few years for you and Hu Tao to become close companions, all due to your similar tastes and character. On the days that you were neither working, you two would be found spectating at one of Xinyan's performances at the Harbour--She had taken an immense liking to your avant-garde taste in music, or hanging out with a few of her other friends like Xingqiu and Chongyun with the exorcist being the one to take the brunt of a few pranks--courtesy of the twin-tailed girl. The Cyro-user sincerely thinks you and the Hu Tao spell trouble whenever you are within hearing distance of each other. Seriously, it's scary how you, and she are on the same wavelength that you finish each other's sentences!

During one of the slower days, the young woman would be found tending to the front desk of the parlour after having sent everyone home. You had insisted on accompanying her until closing time, and here you two were: sitting closely behind the counter while perched on stools, nursing steaming cups of tea. It had been your idea to paint her nails, seeing that it would help pass the time. For some strange reason, you found the twin-tailed brunette being unusually quiet as you continued telling her about your day.

Unbeknownst to you, the young director had been struggling to name the emotion that always took a hold of her whenever you were nearby. From the slight giddiness when you take a firm grasp of her hand or the butterflies that would suddenly appear in her stomach when you tenderly brushed her locks as you fixed her slightly askew hat. Although the Pyro-user is young and inexperienced, she is an intelligent businesswoman who has read her fair share of literature, and it doesn't take long for her to acknowledge that she's fallen head over heels in love with you.

It is the sensation of your cold fingers cupping her cheeks that jolts the female out of her muddled thoughts, and you can't help but grin when astonishment appears on her lovely face. The parlour is quiet, and you take it as an opportunity--it is you who takes the initiative in expressing your deep affection for her, affectionately calling her your muse-- and you are rewarded with those usually mischievous blood-red eyes growing wide and blush across your companion's cheeks. You can't fight the grin on your visage, as you had successfully rendered the impish funeral director speechless.

To the public, you were an eccentric but affable individual who had a talent for making beautiful and innovative items under the tutelage of your mentor; A person who takes delight in living life to the fullest all the while carrying out your duties earnestly. But to Hu Tao, She had been drawn to you ever since you had met along the busy streets of Liyue. Now with you becoming an important figure in her already exciting life, she can't help but look forward to spending time with you every day.

What are these? Oh, they're flyers. And If you look over there...

[hyacinthian-chateau]

thankyou for matching me up with albedo! <3

You are very welcome, my dear! Seriously, our chef enjoyed having the liberty of whipping customized dishes for our guests during this event! They almost went overboard with a few of them, thankfully we are able to reign them in!

Again, thank you for both making the submission and taking part in our event. We hope to see you come by again in the future.

[hyacinthian-chateau]

may i get a matchup from you? :)

i would like to get matched up with a male character. im an infp, temperament is phlegmatic and have intrapersonal intelligence. im a quite simple person, like if something happens then it happens. i go with the flow and a free spirited person. im described as someone who's soft spoken, wise, humerous and creative. in my group of friends, im the type of person who push my friends from the back rather than pull them from the front.

reading mythical stories, writing fictions and teaching people about my culture are my hobbies. i have fond interest in butterflies and moths but no roaches. roaches, why do they even exist? they literally have zero good functions– learning about galaxies is something that i love too. i like moon, but not really the sun. i also love mind challenging games like solving mysteries, but mathematics is out of the topic– they're interesting but im not good with numbers.

i hate judgemental and inconsiderate people. my love languange is words of affirmation and quality time. im not a serious type of person, im easily entertained and quite playful and would love it if someone were to be playful with my antics too – or at least be understanding of it. im not fond of people who are too serious and hot-headed.

im sorry if this is too short, idk what else to say 🙇🏻‍♀️

Albedo, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You and Albedo find gratification in each other.

Albedo had always been an enigmatic and reserved individual but it's to most people's surprise that the youthful boy had taken up becoming an older brother figure to Klee. If the Chief Alchemist cannot be found running experiments within his workshops in either Mondstadt or Dragonspine, then he is most likely occupied with keeping the sprightly child from running into trouble. You had met the duo while browsing the library in the Knights of Favonius' Headquarters for a book one fateful day. Little did you both know, that you and the Alchemist would end up becoming more than close acquaintances in the future.

If Klee isn't insisting that both her and Albedo visit you on his days off, then it seems fate plays a part in having you and the blonde run into you almost every other day. It is the constant interaction that allows the Alchemist to have a better understanding of your endearing personality; He finds your carefree and spontaneous nature refreshing. The young man is also pleasantly surprised to learn of your fascination with Arthropods, specifically Butterflies and Moths, as well as anything that involved anything mystical.

As time passes, It's not just Klee who has grown fond of you but also both his assistants, Sucrose and Timaeus. Albedo learns that you would treat them to something sweet alongside a few encouraging words when their experiment results don't live up to their expectations. At some point, you had become such a familiar face that the Knights greet you warmly as you visited the Headquarters. Unbeknownst to you and Albedo, Many from the Knights of Favonius--mostly his close friends--have started a betting pool with a majority expecting both you and the Captain of the Investigation Team to end up together. Even, the Acting Grandmaster thinks that you too are adorable☆.

The Alchemist isn’t one to decline your invitations, whether it be to spend the day exploring Dawn Winery with the hopes of acquiring a few Crystalfly specimens or personally accompanying you to Cape Oath to stargaze. He is a collected person who ignores block-headed people and motions you to follow him if you ever encounter a few outspoken and judgmental individuals. Albedo finds that taking your mind off things by taking is the best way to calm you down, alongside a hot drink.

He could spend the day with you within the confines of his laboratory, quietly chatting and debating about the perplexities of this world. He listens to your creative insight and once in a while inquires for you to help him with a mathematical formula for one of his trials. The Geo-user can't help but softly laugh at how your face would scrunch up comically as you stood in front of the chalkboard.

Truth be told, Albedo had been experiencing a slight tightness in his chest alongside an intense longing that is rather difficult to describe when you both part ways. Initially, the young man didn't know how to react when you tried to fluster him. It was when he had candidly mentioned that he sees you as a potential romantic partner that he understood why you liked to tease him; His breath hitched ever so slightly when he had caught sight of your reddening cheeks as you tried to look away, playing off the fact that he had caught you off guard.

Even after the impromptu confession, Albedo still isn't much of a talker and tends to struggle with voicing his emotions, but he's quite self-aware; Your playful demeanour and delivery of witty remarks have earned both his love and admiration for you.

Truthfully, The blonde man has cherished you for quite some time, and he cannot help but faintly sketch your graceful silhouette, making him wonder...

Thank you again and congratulations <333

Zhongli, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You and Zhongli are quite the match.

The consultant is a man held in high esteem and greatly admired due to his vast knowledge and collected nature. But for the longest time, no one is brave enough to voice out their thoughts. It is Hu Tao, the ever-spirited Director of the Funeral Parlour, who goads her employee into telling her the details. It is to her faint surprise and many others, that Zhongli reveals that he had already been spoken for.

The story of how you met the consultant was rather unremarkable; You had ended up paying for a book after the man had unknowingly forgotten his bag of Mora--You had saved the man from having to start another tab under the Funeral Parlour. Upon leaving the bookshop, the brunette introduces himself and offers to repay your kind gesture by inviting you out for tea.

Being a courteous person, you accept and as time passed your friendship develops into something more. Eventually, the gentleman discovers your penchant for learning, thus offering to bring you to the Domain of the Wayward Path to spend time and to solve the geo-puzzles together. He takes you to Wanmin Restaurant, where you both share looks of apprehension when Xiangling uncovers her newest dish that contained slime concentrate. You two revisit the memory every time you dine at the said establishment with your arms linked together, and your companion can't help but feel content when with you.

It takes a while but Zhongli cannot help but feel attracted by your existence, faults and all. It becomes apparent that the consultant has become protective of you. He knows you are resilient, but he is the first to always help you back on your feet and provide reassurance. The man is your support and gently reminds you that you are more than competent in completing your tasks when your confidence takes a dip once in a while. The Geo-user is the first to soothe your nerves when you are aggravated, calmly leading you away from seemingly apathetic and unscrupulous individuals. And it is much to his indignation when he finds that you meet both his young boss and the Eleventh Harbinger who try to rope you into their antics to rile him up--If anything you had taken a liking to them for livening your day.

At some point, the Ex-Archon finds himself staring blankly at the document in front of him, unable to concentrate during working hours. How can he when he learns the true reason his face feels flushed or how his heart feels like it is in a vice and won't stop racing whenever you were around? It's only after consulting Baizhu that he realizes there isn't much the herbalist can do; Not when it relates to matters of the heart.

To most, you were just a regular citizen of Liyue. A polished and thoughtful professional who worked at Yujing Terrace while undertaking a few creative endeavours. But to Zhongli, you were much more than that. To him, you are the long-awaited rain that brought an end to the drought in this drawn-out life of his.

What's that? You wish to tell him how you feel as well? I'm sure he'll want to hear that straight from you. Come along now, he's...

╰ ☆☆☆☆ ╮

Catharia's Note: Thank you for the well wishes and supporting our establishment, Anon. We always look forward to having our clients pop by! Thank you taking part in this event and we hope to hear for you soon!

[hyacinthian-chateau]

Hi! Can I get a match-up?

MBTI: ISTP, 9w1

I like walking around the house without a particular goal in mind, I also like eating sweets.

I dislike crowded places and people who make me mad purposely.

More about me: I tend to help people whenever they tell me about their problems, trying to talk out their problems and give them multiple solutions, I also like to talk to my friends whenever something small happens in my day.

Kazuha, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

People admire the bond you and Kazuha share.

Those who recognize the platinum-haired Rurouni know that he is a modest individual with a penchant for wandering. But it's to everyone's surprise, even Captain Beidou's when they discover that the young man has been avidly waiting to reunite with someone he holds dear to his heart every time he returns to his homeland.

You worked by the port, and he's seen you more than a few times interacting with some crew members while keeping track of inventory. It's only when he finds himself being chased by the Shogunate's people that you help him hide at a nearby alleyway, knowing fully well that he was a wanted man. It's after such an event that the two of you become acquaintances and eventually close friends.

He learns that underneath your stubbornly reserved nature lies a caring and attentive person who greatly cares for others. Kazuha is observant and knows your dislike of crowded places--He's led you to a more secluded area while admiring the beautiful fireworks that lit up the sky during the Summer Festival. He can sense your anxiety when in the presence of other people and doesn't hesitate to hold your hand, occasionally reassuring you with a gentle squeeze. And he's also learned how adorably cranky you get when you don't get your daily dose of sugar. He can't help but gently poke the small furrow between your brows, all the while slipping a bottle of Dango Milk into your hand with a knowing smile ☆.

As much as he enjoys composing Haikus and listening to the daily occurrences in your day, He adores spending time with you outdoors the most. Roaming the surrounding landscape that consisted of scenic mountains and waterfalls always relaxed him, but it's your presence that makes it all the more enjoyable. Whenever you two are together, it seems that these moments pass too quickly and the young man can't help but selfishly wish that time would pass a little more slowly.

When away, the platinum-haired blonde finds himself feeling oddly restless even when surrounded by nature. He catches himself staring at the clear horizon in a daze completely forgetting about the Haiku he was making. It might not seem like it, but Kazuha's heart silently yearns for you. He is well aware that your relationship isn't the most conventional being so far from each other yet you both persevere, and it seems the lack of each other's presence does make your hearts grow a little fonder for one another.

On the day he returns, he is the first to disembark the Crux and his crewmates can't help but share meaningful looks; Kazuha can pretend to be as level-headed all he wants but like the vision he holds, he finds himself thoughtlessly drifting back to you. All these months being apart from you had made him realize that he's completely besotted with you. Now, how should he tell you?

What's that? You miss him? Ah, You never know, he's much closer than you think...

╰ ☆☆☆☆ ╮

[hyacinthian-chateau]

Albedo, ｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

You would compliment Albedo.

The youthful Captain of the Investigation Team and Chief Alchemist hailing from Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius may seem like an unlikely partner to most people who have interacted with him. The young man is more than just a mysterious, pretty-faced genius once you get to know him.

He's heard about you from other people but hadn't had the chance to formally meet you. It's only when you two find yourselves in the vicinity of the library, to which Lisa has invited you to visit, that you two begin to have a proper conversational debate on a couple of scientific journals. You two would get along quite well since you share quite a few past times such as reading and drawing. It's not a surprise when the two of you become two peas in a pod, and it doesn't take long for Albedo to invite you to his lab.

It's much to Sucrose's bafflement that the two of you were able to survive almost five days of not sleeping after being swept up with various experiments. She's also caught the two of you snuggled up underneath a blanket on the small couch within the workshop. You two look quite cute together~☆. The alchemist eventually started maintaining a well-stocked drawer with coffee and hot chocolate--in case, you would prefer something a little sweeter when working.

If Albedo finds out that you like the quiet, he extends an invitation for you to come to visit him at his campsite located at Dragonspine. The young man understands that the outside world gets a little too chaotic and interacting with others gets a little overwhelming, especially people you don't like--If you even need a comfortable place to stay or take a breather, you're always welcome. It's only when you leave that he finds himself unconsciously smiling after noticing a few doodles, courtesy of yourself, on his research papers.

On the days you aren't accompanying him, the alchemist cannot help his wandering thoughts while trying to procure items for his experiments. You would have enjoyed admiring the new Araneae specimen that arrived from Natlan if you were here with him. Should he order a fresh bag of chips from Good Hunter in case you come by? Also, That ruched lavender blouse from Fontaine would complement your lovely eyes...Maybe he should purchase it as a gift.

What's the best way to sneak into the blonde's heart, you ask? Hm, If you bring him new specimens you discovered from your adventures, he'll most likely spend more time with you.

Ah, but it seems you don't need to look far these days because...
