Hello!
1 I very much like your stuff and 2 may I request a Basil or Mari x reader where the reader when you first meet them is really quite and shy but after awhile their really loud and do dumb things? You don’t have to if you don’t want and please stay hydrated and take care of yourself!
-
sincerely chaos mushroom
BASIL AND MARI WITH A QUIET READER WHO GETS LOUD AND DUMB LATER ON
WAAA this idea is so silly I LOVE it!! sorry it’s been awhile, my motivation just DIED weeks ago,, (this request was asked before i closed requests!) hope u enjoy!
BASIL
BASIL at first, when you two met, he didn’t seem to mind that you were quiet! or shy!
his best friend SUNNY is literally the same, so he wasn’t one to judge you
he understands if you’re really nervous to speak to others who aren’t in the friend group, and relates to you on that part
he finds you to be really nice! he tries to be a good friend to you and respects you dearly
..but was a bit freaked out when your personality suddenly changed
he was a bit shocked and a little AFRAID
"w-wah— [READER]?.." BASIL jolted in surprise after hearing how louder you’ve recently become. "oh no s-sorry..! you don’t have to keep it down, really! i’m just.. surprised is all! I would expect these things from KEL, haha.."
he doesn’t judge you at all! he thinks you must be really good friends with KEL due to both of your loud and playful nature!
will shyly ask you to keep it down a bit, sometimes his ears can’t really take it
he doesn’t hate you, or he doesn’t prefer the old you.. kind of
he just kind of lets you be.. you! if this is how you are, he’s not going to try and change it anytime soon
he’d still treat you the same as before, trying his best to be a good friend
he will be a little nervous when you get hurt by doing dumb things, and if he’s too shaken up to patch up your wounds.. he’ll take you to HERO instead!
MARI
MARI has a little brother who’s practically the same thing, of course she’d love you! (Platonically)
she has such big sister energy, you would always enjoy her company
she treats you like how she treats SUNNY, a lifting teasing here and there.. but it’s all lighthearted
it would make her HAPPY to see both of you getting along, she would absolutely love it if her little brother found someone who acts the same way!
…that is until you’ve changed, a complete 180
once she’s noticed the changes, she a bit surprised at first
"oh wow! i thought [READER] was like a little tiny flower, all quiet and meek.. but i guess there was a new person deep down, hm? hehe!~" MARI practically teased, though you knew it was all lighthearted.
she hopes sunny isn’t too uncomfortable by the drastic change in your personality, which he isn’t
like BASIL, MARI would not judge you one bit! she hangs out with KEL too, so she probably knows how to calm you down when you get too loud
she always lightly scolds you for doing dumb things and being reckless, and would always patch up your wounds if you get hurt because of it
but she’s not ANGRY at you! no no no!
she would always urge you to be yourself, and if this was the true you, then she would be proud and absolutely happy that you trust her to show her this side of yourself
she loves you dearly just like she loves the rest of her friend group, she’s simply HAPPY that you’re HAPPY!

5-8 for dehya >:3c
WAAA THANK YOU!!! wife time 🥺
Cannon Busters asks
“21 the Hard Way” Have you met your f/os friends? How about your f/o meeting your friends? Does everyone get along, or is there conflict?
oh boy this'll be a long one fkhdsaf Dehya's got so many friends now!!!
Dehya's friends:
Cyno - Golden has met him after everything! They get along well enough, Golden isn't particularly scared of him since they didn't study at the Akademiya so they're pretty chill. Think his jokes are funny.
Alhaitham - yeah he drives Golden up the wall. Dehya's kind of amused by how easily he gets under their skin, but also will step in to calm her partner down. Golden just can't stand that kind of smug condescending attitude fkjdsahkjf
Nilou - Golden fucking loves that Nilou and the theater stick it to the Akademiya and actually met Nilou before they were dating Dehya! So Nilou is very much a mutual friend. Golden also is a big fan of the arts in general and LOVES the Zubayr theater so Nilou is one of their closest Sumeru friends.
Dunyarzad - I'm still undecided if Dehyarzad is canon to this verse but in any case Dunyarzad is important to Dehya. Golden gets along with her but maintains a certain amount of distance? Particularly prior to Elezar being cured. They wanted to be sure they could be a rock for Dehya, but they also wanted to know who this person that was important to Dehya was. After that though Golden will feel comfortable getting to know her better and growing closer! I'm sure they'll enjoy flustering Dehya together :3c
Candace - Candace was SO excited to meet Golden and tease Dehya about her partner. Dehya in fact avoided bringing Golden to Aaru Village until they were pretty serious for this reason (Candace and all the elderly in the village are thrilled and Dehya finds that super flustering). Golden and Candace get along great, though Candace is sometimes scolding Golden to be careful as much as she scolds Dehya fkjhsakjfsa
Tighnari - Tighnari is also a mutual friend. Golden befriends him before Dehya does, actually. After they decide they hate the Akademiya they're like SUP can I be a Forest Ranger for a bit and Tighnari's like ??? but they get along well! Tighnari is happy to have such an eager and competent student, though he does worry sometimes about how distractible they are.
Golden's friends
Collei - Dehya thinks Collei's such a sweet kid I bet. She'll definitely give Collei some mercenary tips and tricks and get along with her like an older sister!
Kaeya - Kaeya is Golden's other partner (and that relationship came first) and let me tell you, Dehya did not like Kaeya at first. This is largely due to the fact that prior to dating Kaeya, Golden came crying to Dehya about how Kaeya had hurt their feelings, so...skjdafhksahk Dehya does forgive him for that though. It's chaotic when those two are together because Kaeya basically enjoys flustering Golden, and also flustering Dehya at the same time if posible, and Dehya does get riled up pretty easily, so KJFHEWLKJFW but at the end of the day they get along and respect each other.
I haven't considered really if Dehya will come visit in Mondstadt 🤔 then she'd have the opportunity to meet more of Golden's friends, but for now I'll just think on that, this is long enough!
“Unfettered” Are there any secrets you or f/o had to keep from each other? Did you end up sharing them? Were there consequences?
Not really? Golden may have a few Knights of Favonius secrets they can't share, like their investigation into Delusions, but they may also admit that to Dehya at some point because they trust her dearly.
It remains to be seen if Dehya has any secrets...but I find it hard to believe there would be anything she'd withhold forever.
“Lady & The Kid” How would you and your f/o describe the other person? Would they focus on looks or personality, or maybe even tell a story about the other person? Write in character if you can!
"Dehya's incredible! She's a masterful fighter, and her strategy is second to none. And she's so pretty too! I really love my girlfriend, she's the total package. 🥰 And! And and and. She looks really cute with flushed cheeks, hehe. But don't tell her I told you that or she'll get embarrassed!"
"Hm, my partner, Golden Verite?" Dehya laughs. "I've never met anyone else like them. When they get serious, they're hard to beat in whatever they've set their mind to. But," Dehya blushes, "they're also pretty silly. Not that I'm complaining. It's...cute. ❤️"
“Turnbuckle Ex-Machina” How do you and your f/o generally react to strangers? Do you make friends quickly, or are you more likely to make enemies?
Golden is quick to make friends fdkahfkjs Dehya will be more cautious but I feel like she's also pretty social and at worst it's just another potential source of information, right? So yeah, definitely a friendly pair.

Shanghai Part 2
Author’s Note: Wow, thank you for being patient!! I meant to have this up two days ago, but I got a little busy working and running errands so I didn’t have time to work on it at all :( Anyways, I spent all of last night writing basically, and after staring at the computer for several hours trying to think of how to finish this chapter, I finally have part two completed <3 I hope you guys enjoy it!!!
I’ll try to have Part 3 up ASAP, but I am volunteering almost all week at this golf tournament I go to every year and it goes from early morning to late at night so it takes up the whole day :(
I will try to squeeze in writing time every now and then ^_^
WARNING!! This fic will be very WaKei prominent!!! If that’s not your cup of tea then this story is NOT for you!!
Part Two
Wakana sat on the couch in her home, attempting extremely hard to pay attention to the movie that was playing on the screen.
She had put in Kiki’s Delivery Service, a film she had seen millions of times throughout her childhood and adulthood, and one of the few films that could cheer her up instantly. She never grew tired of the scene where Kiki finally leaves home for the first time and is flying in the sky to the song on her radio, ready to take on the world. It always put a smile on her face.
The movie lulled her sullen mood to an extent, but occasionally she would find herself lost in a wave of sadness and thought as she tuned out the voices of the characters and only really watched the colors from the light on the screen as they danced around her living room.
Two weeks have passed since Kalafina performed their “far on the water” tour in Shanghai. They had almost no time to rest while they were there, due to having various promotional events scheduled throughout their time visiting the city. Overall, it was a very successful trip and the girls were happy to have been able to spread Kalafina’s music around the globe some more.
After they made it back to Tokyo, the three of them finally had a chance to relax a little and continue about their daily lives. Without having all the Kalafina events to distract her, Wakana found herself slowly losing her mind. The only major work-related stuff they really had were rehearsals here and there.
Following the situation that occurred after the Bilibili interview, the interactions between Wakana and Keiko were very strained. They only saw each other in rehearsals for the most part, and when they did they only gave a simple nod of the head and said a “Good morning, Wakana” or “Hello, Keiko” and quickly turned away. They just didn’t know what to say to each other.
Anything more than that was them talking about the actual practice session or brainstorming ideas on what they could be doing better for their performances. The three of them made a promise when they first formed Kalafina that they wouldn’t let any disagreements or arguments get in the way of their work, no matter how big or small. Holding true to this promise has played a very important role in the success of the group from time to time.
“The last time I checked I wasn’t the one asking to quit when things got rough.”
This was what Keiko had said to Wakana in the midst of their dispute, and although Wakana had mostly convinced herself that Keiko only said that because of the horrible things she had accused Keiko of first, she knew the statement was all too real.
Wakana thought about that time often. Even to this day, she would beat herself up over how foolish she was. She could not believe she was about to let her insecurities tear apart a group she loved so dearly. Just thinking about it made her want to cry.
They all had bad times where they felt lost, but the other two never thought about abandoning singing altogether. She could never thank them enough for helping her get through that time. Keiko, especially, was the one who would come over to Wakana’s apartment with a tub of ice cream and just let her cry it out. The younger girl would always drop everything she was doing when Wakana needed her.
Wakana smacked her hands to her face, wanting to scream out in frustration. I can’t believe I said such awful things to her, especially considering how often she is there for me.
After realizing she hadn’t been paying attention to the movie for over half an hour, Wakana sighed heavily and picked up the remote, shutting off the television. She sat in complete darkness for a few minutes, wondering what else she could do to take her mind off of the woman that always seemed to plague her thoughts.
I am truly a horrible friend, she said to herself.
Wakana shook her head and hopped off her couch, sliding on her slippers. She went into her kitchen to make some tea. A hot drink usually eased the mind.
As the kettle boiled, Wakana leaned back against the kitchen counter. Her mind began to stir again, but before it could fall back into the same loop, there was a sudden knock at the front door.
The confused woman looked at the clock on the wall, furrowing her eyebrows. Who could be here at this time of the night? It’s almost 9.
Wakana walked over to her front door and looked through the peephole to see who her guest was. She was surprised to see who was standing there.
The host opened the door and greeted her visitor, who was in her pajamas, holding a sleeping bag.
“Hi-chan! Is everything okay?! What are you doing here so late?”
Hikaru tilted her head in confusion. She was sure she had the day right.
“Hi, Wa-chan. I’m here for the English lessons. We planned this when we came back from Shanghai, remember? You kept saying the whole time we traveled back how you wished you knew English better so you could communicate with our fans more in foreign countries, so I offered to teach you some things I learned in vocational school. Did you forget?”
Wakana’s eyes widened as the memory flooded back into her head.
I can’t believe I forgot!
The distressed host began to wave her arms in embarrassment, quickly ushering her friend inside and taking her things. Hikaru couldn’t help but smile at the older girl’s exasperation.
“I’m so sorry, Hikaru!! It completely slipped my mind! Please forgive me!!”
Hikaru chuckled in amusement and waved her hands, shrugging off the matter. “Wakana, don’t worry about it! Are you sure you still want to do this? I can come back another day, if that’s better for you.”
Wakana rapidly shook her head. “No, no! I would still love to learn. Please sit and make yourself comfortable. Do you want any tea? I’m making some right now.”
Hikaru grabbed her English folder and sat down at the kitchen table with a smile, preparing all the papers. “That would be nice! Thank you.”
“So ‘there’ can have a few different types of spellings, and all of them change the meaning. One is…”
About an hour into the lesson, Wakana’s mind began to wander again. Up until now, she had done well only concentrating on Hikaru’s words. The younger girl was a very excellent teacher and knew how to explain many things clearly that otherwise would have been confusing to Wakana. Just Hikaru’s presence in itself was very calming and comforting to Wakana and cheered her up greatly, but her heart was still unable to engage fully in the activities.
“… and that’s where a lot of people can get confused. Does that make sense?”
As Hikaru finished her explanation, she looked over at her fellow band member for a nod confirming that she understood, but instead she found Wakana staring down at the pencil in her hand, tapping it on the table with a very troubled look on her face.
Maybe this wasn’t a good night to do this after all, Hikaru thought to herself.
“Wakana? Waaa-chan…”
The younger girl tried waving her hand to get Wakana’s attention, but ultimately failed in doing so.
Something must really be bothering her.
Hikaru continued to watch the pencil bounce up and down for a few more seconds and then giggled at the situation. She reached out and put her hand on top of her friend’s, stopping the motion altogether.
“Wakana.”
The inattentive woman snapped back to reality and let out a small gasp when she realized she had completely missed what Hikaru had been saying. She scolded herself inwardly for how disrespectful she was being.
Wakana let out a deep sigh and put the pencil down. “I’m sorry, Hikaru. I’m being so rude, especially considering how much of your own time you’re taking to be here and do this for me.”
Hikaru moved her hand away and placed it in her lap, turning toward Wakana. “You don’t have to apologize. If anything, I’m really worried about you. You’ve seemed very uneasy lately.”
Wakana frowned and looked back down. Has it been that noticeable?
“Did you and Keiko get into another argument?”
The older girl glanced up at her friend and smiled shyly. She was always surprised by how intuitive Hikaru was and how quickly she picked up on things.
“How did you know?” she asked.
Hikaru smirked. “You are always significantly less talkative when you guys are in a disagreement.”
“Am I?” Wakana questioned, knitting her eyebrows.
The younger woman laughed. “It’s not that hard to tell, since you are always talking.”
Hikaru had noticed the tension between the two when the three of them were together, although they tried their best to hide it. To an outsider, everything might have seemed normal, but Hikaru knew her co-singers better than she knew most people. Recently, they haven’t been as loud and chatty, which was very out of the ordinary because they always had something they were going on and on about.
The youngest of the three may not talk much when they are with each other, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t always observing and picking up small details. Hikaru didn’t question it at the time though. Whatever was going on, it was between the two of them to handle.
Wakana laughed half-heartedly, but stayed silent and looked down, fiddling with her hands. The older girl tried to stay upbeat for Hikaru’s sake, but Hikaru could see through the facade. It only took one look at Wakana’s face to see that her eyes were full of sadness.
The two sat quietly for about a minute before Hikaru spoke up again.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Wakana turned toward the shorter woman. “Have you ever thought about dating, Hikaru??”
Hikaru put her hand on her chin, contemplating the question. Now that she thought about it, she didn’t recall thinking about relationships much.
“Hmm… Not really… I suppose it has crossed my mind from time to time, but I have never thought about it seriously, because there is always Kalafina’s work to worry about. Personally, there is no time to commit myself to a relationship right now.”
She looked back at Wakana, a questioning look on her face. “What does this have to do with anything?”
Wakana sighed. “Back in Shanghai, after our interview with Bilibili, I saw Keiko deep in conversation with one of the workers there. The guy was clearly trying to flirt with her, but I was more shocked at how genuinely happy she looked talking with him. It just got me thinking that it won’t be long before one of us decides that it’s time to find someone out there and wants to settle down to start a family. Then, eventually, Kalafina will have to go our separate ways.”
It was a lot of information to process at once, but Hikaru listened and nodded along.
“I guess you’re right… I haven’t thought about it to that extent until now. I figured it would just be a while before any of that happens…” Hikaru paused, contemplating. “This doesn’t explain your argument, though.”
“Well, I got quite upset after thinking about that, and Keiko came looking for me since I left rather quickly. She started talking about that guy and one thing lead to another… Things got pretty heated. Words were thrown around carelessly. In the end, I accused her of not caring about Kalafina anymore and said some other stuff I shouldn’t have.”
Wakana finished her explanation, which clearly brought back unpleasant memories, judging by the look on her face. Hikaru hated seeing her friend so distressed, and thought hard about what she could say to ease the situation.
“Wa-chan, if there is anything I have learned from Keiko in all the years I have known you both, it’s that she absolutely adores you. When I’m alone with her, she never misses an opportunity to talk about you. We’ll pass by a store and she’ll see something cute and say ‘Wakana would love that!’ or we’ll go into a food shop and she’ll mention ‘Wakana always orders that here.’ I have never seen her talk about anyone with such a gleam in her eyes. She truly loves you.”
Hearing Hi-chan’s account, Wakana began to cry. The little tales brought a small relief to her, and she was glad that Keiko at least gave her a little thought considering that the woman was all Wakana could ever think about. Her firm arms, her husky night voice, her endearing and gentle touches that would come randomly when they’re together… These were all things that could make Wakana’s heart skip a beat with just a small thought.
The story brought a bittersweet joy to Wakana, but at the same time, it just frustrated her further.
“But that’s just it, Hikaru! She loves us like sisters, but…” Wakana trailed off from her statement.
The older girl hesitated, not knowing whether to continue with her thought. She battled herself internally, unsure if she should unveil something she has kept even from herself for years.
Somehow, Hikaru knew where this was going. Watching their interactions for the past few years, hearing Wakana’s thoughts, seeing how close they always were to one another, everything clicked into place. She always had a gut feeling one of them would view their relationship as a little more than just friends. Perhaps it was both of them that felt this way.
“But what, Wa-chan?” the woman urged on.
“She’ll…” Wakana shut her eyes, thinking hard about what to say.
Reading her mind, Hikaru finished the sentence for her. “She’ll never love you more than a friend?”
Startled that the younger girl stole the words right from her, Wakana’s eyes flew open and her cheeks turned a deep shade of pink. She quickly turned away, too embarrassed to look at her co-singer.
“Yes,” she replied, so softly it was almost inaudible.
Hikaru smiled and sat back in the chair, crossing her arms. “I had a feeling this was the case.”
Wakana burrowed her face in her hands, wanting to crawl into a corner and disappear. “It’s terrible, isn’t it? She’s one of my best friends, Hikaru. A woman at that. She’ll never return…”
She trailed off again. The girl just couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Hikaru put her hand on Wakana’s shoulder and handed her some tissues for her to dry her eyes. “Other than my family, I treasure you guys more than anybody in this world. You practically saved my life. I would be wasting away without you two. I care about both of you and your feelings too much for you to undermine them. You should never disregard your feelings, Wakana. Whatever you do, I will support you. But, the sooner you admit your feelings to yourself, the less hurt you will be.”
It was something Wakana never wanted to confess to herself. Her feelings for Keiko developed long ago, but she buried them deep down internally because she was afraid of falling in love with someone who wouldn’t ever love her back. She shoved them away, until they were bottled up in an unknown place inside of her.
If I say it, there’s no going back.
“I love her, Hikaru.”
