cynosure. (x)

─── chapter 10 ! ~ raise your glass!

summary; you and xiao are genmates under the famed streamer company genshin impact. the chemistry between the two of you is undeniable, and your fanbases absolutely love your collaborations. but when you both start meeting up offline more and more, your connection starts to deepen past just harmless flirting and playful banter. with these real feelings starting to affect both your job and reputation online, how will you two react when your relationship becomes the internet’s cynosure?

a/n: um hopefully this should be out not too long after the prev chapter, but yEAHHHH cynosure motivation is back i cannot wait to finish this series >:) hope u enjoy this chapter !!

irl !

you watch, mesmerised, as diluc expertly pours a variety of wines into glasses without spilling a drop and hands it out to the people at the bar. "classic 'luc, always trying to impress the ladies," kaeya snickers, and diluc's face turns firetruck red, "shut up, kaeya." then he turns to you, face still slightly flushed, "what would you like, y/n?" "hmm..." you tap your chin thoughtfully, "what would you recommend?" honestly you couldn't care less about what you drink as long as it's strong enough to dull your emotions for a while. you've been in a total mess since xiao 'broke up' with you. (could you really call it breaking up if you were never together?) it's quite embarrassing that you, who was known across the internet as a flirt, had cried over the same man almost 17 times in the past seven days.

"well, i'm not really one for wine, so if you're asking me i'd go for grape juice," diluc replies, using one hand to wipe down the counter with a rag. the bar is rather quiet compared to normal, as diluc had closed early for the night so those of you who were here could relax without worrying about rabid fans or reporters. you can't help but crack a smile, "a wine tycoon who doesn't like wine? that's not something you see every day." "i get that a lot," diluc rubs the back of his neck before glaring pointedly at kaeya, blatantly insinuating that he's the one who constantly makes fun of him for it. "it's true though, diluc has always been unromantic enough to prefer juice over wine. maybe he just doesn't have the patience for fermentation, and that's why he never- ow!" diluc slams the rag onto kaeya's hand before deadpanning, "sorry, it was an accident."

"anyways, if you're looking for something stronger you should ask rosaria," diluc points a thumb at the woman at the edge of the bar who's idly swirling her drink. thanking him, you slide over to her, "hey, uh, rosaria, was it? what are you drinking?" she glances at you out of the corner of her eye, "you're that streamer, aren't you? the one who's in a whole load of hot water right now." your eyes widen, "you know who i am?!" "who wouldn't? your face is all over the internet right now," she states calmly, though she quietens when she notices your expression. "yeah... all because of this one stupid guy," you roll your eyes, placing your elbows on the table and balancing your chin on your hands. rosaria laughs, a genuine sound this time, "i can tell you definitely need a strong drink. the one i'm having is fire-water, though i'll warn you it isn't for those with a weak stomach." "okay! i'll take whatever i can get, if i'm being honest," you respond before ordering a glass of the smoky alcohol from diluc.

just then, the door slams open and venti enters with a loud strum of his lyre, followed by albedo. "tis i, venti the bard!" "sorry, we're late, i was finishing up an experiment," albedo murmurs an apology to kaeya before seating himself between the two of you. "and you must be the infamous y/n," he faces you and shakes your hand, "it's an honour to meet you in person." "the pleasure's all mine," you grin, ignoring the slight sting that comes with the label of 'infamous'. "my dear diluc, the usual please!" venti spins around on the high chair at the bar joyfully, only to pretend to sob the next second when diluc replies dryly, "you can have it when you pay off your tab." "hey venti, i'll cover your drinks tonight if you play us a tune or two," kaeya chimes in. "really?! then prepare yourself to be sucked away by the music, for i, venti, know all songs of the past, present, and future! let's begin!"

as venti begins crooning a ballad about heartbreak, albedo randomly says, "love sucks, doesn't it?" "you can say that again," you chuckle in reply, nursing your drink. "yet somehow it's the most wonderful thing in the world, and perhaps that's why everyone craves it," his teal eyes meet yours, and suddenly it feels like this man can see into your soul. self-conscious, you sip from your glass to avoid his piercing gaze, "i guess so. must be why everyone says it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." "you have loved, and you have lost. do you agree with them?" the blonde man questions you directly, not bothering to beat around the bush. "woah! most people would ask something like that with a little more tact, you know," you answer with a start. he blinks once, as if calculating where he made a mistake in his phrasing, "i'm sorry. i'm not that good with people." neither was xiao, you think to yourself, before mentally scolding yourself for always connecting every little thing to him.

"you didn't answer my question," albedo's factual tone jolts you out of your thoughts. "oh! um... yes. unfortunately, i do agree with them," you scramble for a coherent answer, "to me, love is something else that can only be understood fully when you experience it yourself. it's not flawless like how it's portrayed in the media or anything, it's messy and imperfect at times, yet that's what makes it worth fighting for - the fact that both parties are putting in effort to make it work." you swear you feel tears form in your eyes as your voice cracks in the final sentence, so you quickly duck your head under the guise of drinking once more.

"that's an interesting take," albedo sips his water, then he stares at you once more, "but maybe you haven't really lost your love yet." "what do you mean?" "i mean that you said love was worth fighting for, and i think that both of you have not stopped fighting for each other yet," albedo states, tilting his head. you're so shocked you don't know what to say. you know that you hadn't moved on, but you've been thinking that xiao already did. "how do you know?" your voice comes out in a whisper. "sometimes venti says too much about things that should probably just be kept between friends," albedo smiles at you, "as for you, i tend to read too much into people, but even a baby could tell that you haven't given up yet." your cheeks warm - are you really that obvious? "it's just my opinion, but i think that's a good thing. like you said, love has its flaws; what matters is how you work through those flaws," he finishes his glass. "thank you... i think i really needed to hear that," you murmur, and albedo smiles gently as diluc refills his glass, "no worries. it's just the abstract ramblings of an alchemist anyway."

as venti switches to a more upbeat song which has kaeya cheering and rosaria threatening to smash a glass on his head if he carries on being this noisy while diluc observes with a smile playing about his lips, you and albedo share a private glance before clinking your glasses together, "well then, to love!"

private messages !

phone call !

outgoing call to xiao at 1.17 a.m.

y/n: ...hello?

xiao: y/n, is that you?

y/n: no, this is actually your number one fan scaramouche! who decided to call you at 1 in the morning for no reason! obviously it's me.

xiao: oh. yeah, that makes sense. although at this point maybe i would have preferred it to be scaramouche.

y/n: what?! why?!

xiao: well, you're mad at me, aren't you?

y/n: no shit, genius. i'm absolutely fucking furious.

xiao: um... i can see that.

y/n: shouldn't you be apologising or something?! or being scared that i'm angry?

xiao: to be honest, i'm terrified. i don't want you to hate me. but i don't think you're sober right now, so i probably shouldn't say too much. plus if i'm going to apologise to you, i'm going to do it right.

y/n: you better. as in apologise.

xiao: of course.

y/n: do you even know what i've been going through the past week?!

xiao: no, but i really hope you haven't been harassed or anything again by my fans, because if you i have i'm going to-

y/n: shut up! archons, you're so fucking annoying. i hate you for being so cute and caring to the point i just want to slap your face. with my mouth preferably. which if you didn't understand means kiss.

xiao: ...

y/n: and you know what? i still do. i still fucking like you and want to kiss you, even after your stupid self broke my heart.

xiao: y/n, i know you most likely won't remember this, but i'm so so so sorry. and i know words won't do anything right now, but i swear i never meant to hurt you.

y/n: yeah, that's the worst part. i know you were thinking of me, and that makes it even harder to hate you like my friends say i should. for archons' sake, i'm all the way in mondstadt and i still can't get you off my mind.

xiao: if it makes you feel better, you haven't left my mind either.

y/n: *wry laugh* we're just a right pair of idiots, aren't we? both of us like the other but we aren't together.

xiao: y/n, maybe i should hang up, because i don't think you'd want your future self to tell me this.

y/n: xiao, shut the fuck up and listen. i like you, a lot more than i should considering what a dick you've been. and i don't think i'll get over you, at least not anytime soon.

xiao: y/n, i-

y/n: I LOVE YOU!

xiao: wait, what?!

y/n: *door opens*

???: yo, it's been 10 minutes. let's head downstairs again, okay? wait, who are you on the phone with?

y/n: nobody, let's go.

y/n: *whispers* i miss you, xiao. fuck our jobs, just let yourself be happy for once.

xiao: y/n, i promise i'll apologise and tell you the truth when you're back in liyue. i'll learn to be better at opening up for you too. please take care... *softly* i love you too.

call cut [from xiao's end] at 1.32 a.m.

a/n; xiao is so awkward i hate him (affectionate) T-T anyways this chapter was to check in on y/n and see what she's up to!! surprise appearance by the mondstadt charas hehe, and kaeya/diluc sibling bonding <3 spot the obvious albedo favouritism HAHAHA also when ur reading the call part keep in mind that y/n is quite drunk (she lied to kaeya abt just being a lil tipsy), so that's why she might say nonsensical things haha. grr be proud of me for updating cynosure so quick LOL, anyways i don't have that much to say except ily all, gn !! <3

𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐲

a/n: HI! My brain went boom w this idea. Just an idea about going shopping w winery tycoon mr ragnvindr. characters: modern!au diluc x gn!reader! tags: fluff! nothing much else really

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

diluc

The red-haired man finally accepted your invitation to go to the mall with him. In between tight schedules and endless meetings, he finally took a day off from work after much pleading and pouting.

He wasn't particularly fond of the thick crowds or the weird looks sent his way when he was being pulled around by hand by you; a shorter, smaller person who frankly looked like a child in a candy store.

But despite the stoic expression on his face, he absolutely adored the way you would drag him into all your favorite stores and watch your face light up with every little thing you pick up.

"Diluc, look!" you shouted, holding up a small trinket that had reminded you of one of your pets at home. Your smile reached from ear to ear and how your eyes twinkled like stars under the lights. He was absolutely enamoured by you and you weren't even aware.

He smiled, placing a hand on the small of your back, "Do you want to buy it?" You nodded enthusiatically, excitedly pulling him to the register.

Handing it to the cashier, you pulled out your wallet to hand in the exact amount of Mora but the sound of the cashiers voice stopped you, "Have a good rest of your day, Mr. Ragnvindr!" She smiled, handing him the small bag and card.

He politely nodded, turning back to you and wrapping an arm around your waist. "But-" you spoke but he instead captured your lips in a kiss to shut you up, knowing what you were about to say next.

"I know, darling. Let me make up for the past week, m'kay?" He murmured, warm hand gingerly placed on your cheek and you only nodded in response, feeling aflame at our close proximity.

He smiled, warmth spreading across his chest as he realized the effect you had on him wasn't one-sided. You, however, switched up quickly and dragged him to your favorite store, the list of items in your head that you've been wishing to buy since forever.

"The arts and crafts store?" Diluc was confused, he thought you would have dragged him to a jewelry store or a clothing store knowing that you loved each of those things based on the size of your collection. "I thought you were going to drag me to get clothes or more rings."

You only grinned, "Well I don't really want to buy anything there right now. Besides," you dragged him further into the store, definitely amused at the stark contrast of the supplies to the color pallette he had on, "I've been wanting these stuff forever, 'luc!"

You practically vibrated with each step, the excitement of seeing all the different pens and tapes on your face also putting a smile on Diluc's.

You were practically glowing and he was absolutely whipped for you. "Anything you want, darling." He mumbled, a dazed look in his eyes as he only observed you as you explained what each item was and how you wanted to use it.

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

a/n: quite short ik but i hope u enjoyed nonetheless ^-^ currently swamped being a college freshman so life is just a whirlwind rn lol reblogs are much appreciated! ilysm <3 (also pls dont share my works anywhere)

Word Count: 1,955

“Ben,”

His hand reaches down and props you onto the edge of the sink. His lips attach to your neck and nip. You moan and grab at his shoulders roughly. He brings his mouth to yours and kisses you hard and fast. Fast. That’s exactly what this felt like. One minute you thought he could care less about you, and now his tongue is down your throat. This was definitely fast, but it was worth it. Everything about Ben was worth it.

His hand runs down to your thighs and massage them. He reaches down and his finger lightly grazes your crotch. You moan in his mouth as he bucks his hips into you, grinding. You wrap your legs around him and pull him even closer to you.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

“Y/n, have you seen Ben?” calls out Rami.

The two of you separate fast as you try to catch your breath. Ben looks at you with his eyes wide as he shakes his head fast. You look at him confused and finally find your voice.

“Uh, n-no. I haven’t sorry! I’ll be right out!” you call back.

Rami calls back a thank you and is gone. Ben exhales and runs a hand through his hair. He slowly walks back up to you and parts your legs to stand between them. He smiles and runs his thumb over your cheek.

“Why couldn't I have told him you were in here with me? I mean we are adults.” you say.

Ben’s face slightly falls and he quickly smiles.

“I just don’t want them to know...yet. Just enjoy whatever this is. The two of us.”

Whatever this is. That wasn’t the most comforting thing to hear. You knew what you wanted this to be, but apparently he didn't. You look down and nod. He places his finger under your chin and lifts your head to face him. He leans in and gently kisses you.

“I’m gonna sneak downstairs. There’s only so many places I can be.” he says, laughing.

You return a giggle and nod. He turns and slowly opens the bathroom door before disappearing. You’re still sat on the counter as you exhale and close your eyes. You didn’t see what the big deal would be if everyone knew that the two of you had feelings for each other, but if Ben wants it on the low right now, you’ll respect his wishes. You hop down from the sink and smooth out your hair and clothes. You exit the bathroom and make your way downstairs.

“Ah, there she is!” says Joe, smiling.

You smile back and nod, glancing over to Ben. He’s smirking at you as he takes a drink of his beer.

“Yeah, sorry I was just taking a shower.” you say.

Gwil squints his eyes as he hands Rami a drink.

“I thought you took a shower this morning, remember?”

You gulp and look back to Ben. He lightly shakes his head at you, telling you to come up with something.

“Oh, um, I had spilled coffee all over me.”

Gwil nods his head, but you can tell he’s not buying it. You let out a breath you realized you were holding as Joe hands you a drink. The two of you begin talking about something when Lucy suddenly shouts.

“Never have I ever!”

Everyone stops and looks to her. She holds up her beer and shrugs.

“What’s that mean exactly?” asks Gwil.

“It’s a drinking game,” says Rami. “You say ‘never have I ever’ and if someone has done that thing, they drink.”

“Yes!” says Lucy. “It exposes everyone’s deepest and darkest secrets.”

You smile and suddenly catch Gwil and Ben exchanging strange looks. Gwil looks irritated as Ben looks away fast. You watch them for a moment before ignoring it. You grab your drink and nod.

“I’m all for this!”

_________________________________

Everyone walks to your living room and plops down in a circle on the floor. You’re sat between Gwil and Joe as Ben is across from you. He looks to you and smirks. You raise a brow and smile. Lucy places a shot glass in front of you all and sits the vodka bottle in the middle. You make a face of disgust at her choice of liquor for this. She sits back and smiles.

“Who wants to go first?”

Everyone looks at everyone until Joe speaks up.

“Okay, I will. Um,” he pauses to think. “Okay, never have I ever skinny dipped.”

Lucy reaches for the vodka bottle and pours her some.

“Anyone else?” she asks as the rest of you all raise your hand and laugh. Joe’s eyes open wide as you all down your shot.

“Really?! You’ve all skinny dipped? I’m a bit offended that I haven’t been invited.”

You gulp down the drink as it stings your throat.

“I’ll go skinny dipping with you Joe.”

He looks over to you and makes a face of awe.

“Really? My life long dream has been to always swim naked with you.”

You roll your eyes and laugh, playfully hitting his arm.

“Oh shut up!” You all laugh, except Ben. He looks between the two of you and tenses his jaw.

“Alright, I’ll go.” says Lucy. “Never have I ever gotten a parking ticket.”

Joe reaches for the bottle eliciting all of you to laugh. He smiles and pours him a shot.

“You know, I’m literally not surprised.” says Ben.

“Alright, alright. Anyone?” he asks, holding it up. The rest of you shake your head. Joe’s mouth falls open.

“Are you serious? I’m alone in this again? You know Luc, I’m not liking this game.” he says, downing his shot.

“It’s because you guys aren't playing it right! First off,” you say taking the bottle from his hand. “You have to do at least three shots pregame. That’s what makes it fun.”

Everyone agrees and quickly downs theirs.

“Alright,” you say. “I’ll go.”

You think for a moment as you feel your head buzz.

“Never have I ever…” You think of something and giggle hard. You cover your mouth and laugh.

“Say it!” says Joe, laughing with you.

You take in a deep breath, still giggling. “Never have I ever...done....anal.” you whisper.

Just then Rami and Lucy both reach for the vodka and quickly stop. The rest of you all fall back laughing. Rami and Lucy’s face go bright red as they just realized what had happened. You were laughing so hard you couldn’t catch your breath. You all had tears running down your face. Being buzzed has definitely made this ten times more funny. You finally catch your breath and smile.

“That was amazing.” you say.

“Oh, piss off!” says Lucy, laughing with you.

“Alright, alright. Someone else go.” says Rami, smiling.

You look up and your eyes lock with Ben’s. He raises a brow and winks at you. You feel your face blush as you bite your lower lip. Gwil watches the two of you and a sudden burst of anger fills him.

“I’ll go.” he says loudly, staring at Ben. “Never have I ever lead someone on while having a girl back home.”

His gaze doesn’t break from Ben’s. Ben’s eyes go wide and he holds his breath, shocked by what just came out of Gwil’s mouth. He outed him secretly. Hopefully secretly, by the way he’s looking at him, there was no denying it was a jab at Ben. You look to Gwil and Ben and furrow your brows. If you weren’t so buzzed you would’ve understood what was happening. Everyone falls quiet and looks at each other.

“Um, not me?” says Joe, confused.

You, Rami and Lucy all agree too. Everyone looks to Ben. He looks to Gwil and shakes his head as he tenses his jaw.

“Not me either.” he says slowly. Gwil lets out a breath that's a mixture of a chuckle and annoyance. Everyone is silent for another moment when Ben speaks up.

“Guess I’ll go,” he says. “Never have I ever held something over my best friends head.” he says, looking to Gwil.

“Is something happening right now?” you ask, looking between them.

“Yeah, what’s going on?” asks Rami.

Ben looks up to you and then down at his hands. Just then Ben’s phone goes off. He quickly pulls it out of his pocket, glances down at it and ignores it. Gwil fake smiles and looks away.

“You gonna answer that?” he asks, sarcastically. Ben looks at him and lowers his eyes, almost warning him to back off. 

“No, I’m good.” he says through gritted teeth.

“Claire?” asks Joe, with a sad look on his face. Ben’s heart almost stops when her name slipped from his mouth. You look from Joe to Ben confused.

“Who’s Claire?” you ask.

Gwil half laughs and looks up to Ben.

“Oh, she’s just Ben’s girlfriend. They’re on a little break right now, right Ben?”

At that exact moment, you can feel your heart break. Ben’s girlfriend Claire. He has a girlfriend. You’re not sure why it hurts so bad. It’s not like the two of you are even anything. Maybe it hurts because you wish the two of you could be something. And then it clicked. That’s why he didn’t want anyone to know about the two of you. Why would he have kissed you? You wish he had pretended to hate you instead.

You look up to Ben as he’s staring at you. His eyes look sad and he slowly shakes his head no. You quickly look away and catch Joe’s eyes. He looks confused at the expression on your face and you quickly smile and clear your throat. This shouldn’t bother you. Clearly Ben is confused with his relationship with this girl or he’s just bored. Yeah, maybe that’s it. He’s bored and you’re the only single girl in the house. You’re snowed in with him so maybe he was frustrated and needed your help. You close your eyes at that hurtful thought and take in a breath.

“Alright,” you say loudly. “Who’s turn?”

__________________________________

The game continued for forever. You had lost count how many shots you had consumed. You were drunk and sad. A perfect combo, right? You felt Ben’s eyes on you all night, but ignored him. Everyone else laughed and joked around you, but you couldn’t find it in yourself to be fun.

“Is it really 3 am?” asks Joe, looking at the clock.

Lucy gasps as Rami rubs his face.

“We should sleep.” says Gwilym, looking at Ben. Everyone agrees and stands up. Lucy stumbles against Rami and they all laugh.

“Goodnight.” says Rami, giving you a big hug. Lucy hugs you next. They make their way to their room. Joe stretches and yawns.

“Yeah, I’m gonna go pass out as well.” he says. He walks over and kisses the top of your head and disappears. Ben looks over to you as Gwil grabs a bottled water off of the counter.

“Y/n?” he whispers. You ignore him and look to Gwil.

“Hey, Gwil?” you ask. Ben pauses as Gwil turns to face you.

“Can I sleep in your room tonight? I don’t want to get cold like I did last night.” you say bluntly. It was a jab at Ben and it worked. He looked to Gwil fast and waited for his answer. Gwil looks shocked by your question and slowly nods.

“Of course you can.” he says low.

“Y/n,” says Ben a bit louder, trying to get your attention. You grab your pillow from the couch and turn to him.

“Goodnight, Ben.” you say and walk towards Gwil and up the stairs, leaving Ben in the living room all by himself.
