[genshingorlsrevengeance]

This moving arc is going crazy ngl. This season is really peak, JJK could never

I know you didn't even mean for this to be an ask but:

(Genshin Impact/GFL) How helpful Lisa, Eula, Noelle, Navia, Furina, Lumine, AK-12, AN-94, AK-15, and RPK-16 would be during your move

After fighting boxes and moving trucks for the last 6 straight days, this has been on my mind.

(Lisa) "Oof, these boxes are going to kill my back tomorrow...!"

Lisa has experience carrying heavy books from her days studying in Sumeru and being a Librarian in Mondstadt.

But do you really think this beautiful woman is going to help you carry the seventeen boxes of glass kitchenware that you have no recollection of even owning?

Absolutely not.

That is too heavy, even for her.

But at the very least when the moving and unpacking is over, she will give and demand the very best cuddles to recover from the process.

Expect her to say that she was sore with helping you last night in an intentionally weird way to get a rise out of you and anyone in the vicinity.

Help Rating: 2/5, Call Lisa in for the love, not for physical labor.

(Eula) "Good grief, how much dust is in here?!" ACHOO! "Ugh...! If this was some elaborate scheme just to hear me sneeze the entire time, I will enact terrible vengeance upon you!"

Quips of revenge aside, she is actually very helpful!

Eula can carry the boxes no problem, and makes sure to have the proper posture when doing so.

If she can swing her claymore around like they're nothing, then surely your belongings will be jut as trivial?

She is also extremely gentle putting down boxes that she knows is full of your stuff.

The only real negative thing you have to deal with is just her constant muttering if a box is giving her too much trouble.

Help Rating: 3/5, You now swear vengeance upon the boxes thanks to Eula saying it over and over

(Noelle) "Please, allow me! I can have these put away in no time!"

The boxes will be hearing boss music upon Noelle's arrival.

For when there is a mess, Noelle is inevitable.

She somehow packs everything into the boxes into such an impossibly efficient manner, that you didn't know you could fit that much stuff into a small cardboard box.

Noelle also does it under a few hours without breaking a sweat.

The scary part is that she can go faster while keeping the same immaculate level of care if you give her a kiss on the cheek or praise her.

And it'll mean even more to her by the fact you're still helping her. It's the thought that counts!

Help Rating: You don't even need to be there/5

(Navia) "Here, just tell me where these boxes are going in your new home. Packing? Hm, no need!"

You know what she does instead of packing herself?

She hires someone else to do it.

When it comes to more personal items, she'll gladly help you wrap it carefully and with love.

But all your furniture?

Yeah, no. That's what the hired help is for.

You and Navia will be directing people left and right where to place the furniture and boxes of your belongings without really needing to lift a finger yourself.

Help Rating: 5/5, the best help is the kind where someone else does the entire job for you.

(Furina) "Oh, it is about time you come to me for aid, dearest! Allow me to help!"

In the wise words of Sergeant Johnson:

"Hmph, MY ASS!"

This woman didn't even unload her boxes when she moved into her apartment, what makes you think that she'd help you unload your stuff properly?

She may be an Archon but her arm strength and experience with moving is next to nothing.

Furina will act all cool and try to lift a box only for it to nearly collapse on her, or throw her out her back.

Her little familiars can't help with your boxes since you know, they're made of water.

But at least the pouting face she'll make will be cute. Kinda like Aqua, huh?

Help Rating: Just get Clorinde or Neuvillette, don't ask the blue gremlin/5

(Lumine) "We really need to get you a teapot! Anyways, let's get to work!"

Lumine doesn't mind to help, and her arm strength despite her appearance is insane.

She'll be carrying 3-4 boxes like it's nothing, though she struggles to actually see anything in front of her.

Paimon helps as much as she can, so you get a 2 for 1 deal asking Lumine!

She's a little unused to moving furniture herself since Tubby and the Teapot took care of that for her own home, but she makes moving very fun!

Help Rating: 5+1/5, but Lumine will question your taste in decor.

(AK-12) "Ah, moving dorms? Well, at least it's within the base and not too far.~"

Even though 12 is a combat android, she can only lift so much.

She might complain about the servos in her arms going haywire and that you'll need to fix them, but in reality she's just teasing just to get a rise out of you.

And despite her eyes being closed, she has better sense of her surroundings than you do, not once bumping into anything or hitting the doorframes.

Once its finished, 12 will just say that you 'owe her one' for helping with the move.

Help Rating: 3/5, it'd be higher but she's too damn smug about lifting more than you.

(AN-94) "Moving assignment understood. Providing assistance."

94 is a little stiff about the moving process at first.

But as it progresses, she uncharacteristically gets distracted by the items you choose to keep and throw away.

She'll ask with a curious expression about why you're throwing away old but usable items, and 94 ends up learning a lot about you.

While the move itself is very normal, it ends up being a nice bonding experience for the two of you!

Help Rating: 4/5, very sweet

(AK-15) "This weight is trivial. Please, stand aside for a moment."

15 is an absolute monster when it comes to the physical labor.

She will stack the heaviest boxes into one pile and carry it without even moving her hair.

15 helpfully moves any of the things you'd struggle with, all the while her expression doesn't really change.

She'd question why you'd thank her for simply doing her job, but it's something she'll appreciate with the slightest blush.

Help Rating: 5/5, she can probably lift you, me, and the boxes in one hand.

(RPK-16) "Hm...I wonder if humanity were to go extinct right now, what would the new race think of finding your belongings?...Hah, your face! Don't mind me, just thinking aloud.~"

16 is not really that strong, but since she's an android, boxes aren't too bad of a gig for her.

After all, she lugs around an LMG.

Regardless, she helps you pack but be prepared to answer a LOT of questions on why you own the items you do.

Both out of genuine curiosity, and to annoy the shit out of you.

But hey, you'll at least get through the moving somewhat quickly thanks to her.

Help Rating: 3/5, Thanks to her, there's now a lot of weird cryptic questions floating through your mind. Such as if the bug that finds its way into the box knows that it had walked into its tomb?

Lost and Found

Part 4!

Genshin Impact x Child! God! Fem! Reader

Not sure if I can still call it impulsive, but it’s definitely still a dumb idea for a cult au with a child reader! Not imposter, and inching slightly more into SAGAU kinda.

Reader is referred to with she/her. Not proof read. If you see typos, no the fuck you don’t.

Notes: Just shy of two months since the last update! Not much to note, you know what “Favored” and “Auxilary” mean. Warning of religious themes, likely out of character moments, even more child crying, and inhuman elements rearing their head. Enjoy! I hope it won’t be as long before 5 is ready to go, I never want to stare at a single chapter for this long ever again.

<~Part 3  Part 5~>

Word count: 5,132.

Mondstadt's bustle felt much louder today. People milling around to carry out their business was one noise.

Completely separate however were the near full remains of the Knights of Favonius gathered by the gates.

A pair of horses laden in heavy saddlebags standing at the ready, reins held in Noelle's strong grasp. Multiple adventurers ticked off item lists as they looked over the pair of travel packs to ensure they were prepared. And a group of nobles not so subtly posturing threats to a woman.

A woman clad in deep purple whistles as she takes in the crowd. "Wow, had I not known better, I'd have thought it was time for the Windblume festival already!" Lisa laughs at the chaos before her. A taller woman stepping beside her with her fingers firmly pressed to her temples.

"It's just a short trip, this is way too much for a send off." Jean grumbles, eyes closed as if when she opens them everyone will have gone home already.

"Oh come now, Acting-Grandmaster, it's not often that the Favored are personally invited to Liyue by the Tianquan herself!" A man's voice interrupts, Kaeya sliding on Jean's other side as he speaks.

"And you know what that Mona girl predicted. This is apparently something to do with the Creator! The invitation aside, that alone is cause for excitement." Lisa chimes in again, the cheery tone from both pulling a quiet groan from Jean.

"Which is exactly why I didn't send a letter to politely decline, if Mona is correct, then this meeting is about the Creator. That is not a matter to send a stand in." Jean sighs in defeat, hands dropping to rest as her hips. Her attention shifting to the pair at her sides, "and you two are sure you can handle things while I'm gone?"

Kaeya gasps in mock offense, "do you doubt us? Your dear friends and allies?" The tall cavalry-captain leans away from Jean, the back of his hand pressed to his forehead.

A loud sigh escapes the woman as Jean takes strides down the steps towards the gate, "just please make sure Klee doesn't burn the city to the ground while I'm away."

Lisa answers her with a giggle, "we'll be careful."

A blue haired woman pushes her way through the crowd of aristocrats, taking long strides before stopping beside Jean. 

"Are you prepared to leave, Captain?" Jean asks, an adventurer pushing a pack into her hands as she walks to the where the armored maid waits.

Eula hums as she slings her own pack over her shoulders, "of course, Acting-Grandmaster." Her tone, even and controlled.

Jean nods, climbing into the saddle of her horse, "if I may, I heard from Amber that you had prepared an offering for their Grace in case they are present, is that true?"

The Lawrence nods as she climbs onto her own horse, pulling a sword shaped cloth bundle from where she had tucked it in her belt. "When their Grace first placed me in the Auxiliary, the first thing they did was gift me an excellent blade. I thought it appropriate to return the favor for our first meeting."

The blonde smiles as she shakes her head slightly in exasperation, "how poetic of you, Captain." Her attention moves to Noelle as the young woman lifts the horse's reins to her, "thank you, Noelle."

Praying crowds and proud citizens watch as the two Favonias Knights set off from their home. Their journey not promising to carry danger, nor to be long, but to finally bring back news of the Creator.

None of the many people taking notice of the normally jovial bard watching the pair leave the city gates with a curious but dangerous glint in his eye. Nor the way the wind whipped just a touch faster at the secrets that all but himself seemed privy to.

But news would be on its way. That's what all the faithful believed. So why rush the inevitable?

<~~~~>

Ganyu couldn't stop the worry from gnawing at her. Y/n had gotten more comfortable in the Chamber since bringing her to it, enough that she was even willing to ask servants for food or help. But suddenly that progress had seemed to disappear.

Y/n has locked herself into her room, refusing to leave, and even Beidou asking her to come out was met with an almost pained sounding groan.

Now the Adeptus waits, her ear pressed to the door while Beidou has gone to tell Ningguang that something is the matter.

Silence follows when the smallest sound peeks through the wood. Sniffling. And Y/n's voice quietly follows.

"Be quiet… please. I can't take this…" Y/n whimpers, so tiny that had Ganyu not been listening so closely she would have missed it.

The sound of footsteps pull Ganyu's attention away from trying to understand what she heard, being met with three pairs of concerned eyes as Beidou leads Ningguang and Lumine to the door.

"Any luck?" Beidou asks, hopeful of any progress.

Ganyu shakes her head, "still nothing, it's like she can't hear me when I try to talk." Ganyu whispers, stepping away from the door to make room.

Yawning into her palm, Lumine hardly hesitates before stepping up to the door and knocking gently before speaking, "Paimon, I know you're still in there, unlock the door."

Silence follows before a small high pitched voice answers, "Paimon isn't here."

Ningguang pinches her temple at the sound of the almost squeaky voice, "just open the door, we're worried about Y/n."

Silence again hangs for a drawn out moment before the sound of an opening lock interrupts the stillness. "Just… please be quiet, Y/n seems to be in pain…"

That caught the group's attention as they slowly file into the bedroom, each stopping just short of the bed. At its plush center Y/n lays curled in on herself in a tight ball, both hands clamped down over her ears and her face scrunched up, gold leaking from her eyes as she just continues muttering, quiet words that give no indication of her having noticed them enter at all. "Please. Be quiet."

Kneeling down beside the bed, Ganyu gently reaches out to place a hand on Y/n's shaking shoulder. The contact immediately causing the girl to let out a frightened yelp before scrambling away and falling off the other side of the mattress.

Tear filled gold orbs stare up at the surrounding adults, the gold color giving her gaze a hazy and distant look, overtaking her pupils and sclera completely. Her eyes move between each person in the room as if looking through them rather than at them. Her chest rapidly rises and falls as each breath seems a struggle to take.

Slow and heavy steps cut through the onslaught of noise, Beidou kneeling down to push her face close to Y/n's. Hands gently grasping the girl's shoulders to hold her steady. 

"Little rat… Y/n, you're alright, you aren't in danger or trouble." She whispers, but e/c starts to leak back into the gold haze. 

"B-Beidou?..." Y/n strains, eyes blinking repeatedly, each taking away more of the gold covering her normal e/c.

Nodding and she pulls the small girl close, crushing Y/n in a tight hold, "shh, you're ok. Take deep breaths for me, alright?" Her voice, as gentle as the pirate can manage.

Her hands fisted in Beidou's clothes, Y/n sniffles before focusing on taking a slow breath. Neither of the pair notice as Ningguang and Ganyu step out from the room.

Slowly the gold fades into e/c, Beidou guiding Y/n through slow deep breaths. The girl's tears slow as the pain that tore at her head disappears with the cacophony of voices.

A pair of footsteps coming through the door pull the girl's eyes away from Beidou, to be met with a short man following behind Ningguang. A single streak of red surrounded in much lighter hair, various shades of red make up his clothing that stands out compared to the Liyue styling that surrounds him.

Beidou pulls away from the small girl as she turns to face the Inazuman man, "oh, Kazuha, come here! I want you to meet Y/n."

Taking steady steps, the man approaches his captain, chuckling lightly when the small girl moves to hide from him behind Beidou.

Kazuha smiles as he kneels down closer to her eye level, "well hello there, Y/n. I'm Kaedehara Kazuha, but you can just call me Kazuha, alright?"

Y/n stares confused at Kazuha, blinking repeatedly as she looks for something from either Beidou or Ningguang. Her eyes landing back on the man before sounding nervous as she speaks, "um… why do you want me to say your last name?"

Her confusion spreads to the kneeling man for a moment before a short laugh spills from him, "no, you see, in Inazuma we say our surnames before our first names, you see?"

Understanding sparks in the girls eyes as she hops slightly in excitement, "so if I went to Inazuma I would be L/n Y/n?"

Beidou had to look away, the sight of the pair smiling would be bright enough to blind the one eyed woman. Giving them a moment before interrupting the pair, "so Kazuha, mind telling me what you came all the way here for?"

The samurai turns his head towards the captain, staring quietly before, pushing himself back upright, "oh, sorry, Lady Ningguang sent an order for one of us to come and collect you when the Alcor was ready to set off."

Eyebrow raised Beidou shifts her eye to Ningguang, "Ning? I thought the plan was to wait till the Mondstadters arrived?"

"I received a note that our guests should be here before the sun has set. So for the sake of time, we should try and hurry along with the plans," Ningguang moves her gaze to where Lumine had chosen to quietly sit in the corner, "You should go with her, whether to on the ship or just teleport straight there is your choice." Receiving just a nod in response.

"Alright, fine, we'll set off in an hour or two." Beidou sighs, rubbing at her forehead.

Y/n flicks her eye's between each person that has come to gather in her room, confused about what any of them are talking about now.

<~~~~>

There was no avoiding this part.

At least that's what Beidou has to tell herself when she looks down to see Y/n's tear soaked face. Kneeling down closer to the sniffling child she forces a soft smile onto her face. "Hey come on Little Rat, I'll only be gone for a little while."

The girl sniffles, her e/c eyes staring wide up at the captain, "but do you have to leave?" Her small voice pleading.

"I do, and I'll be back before you know it." She ruffles the girl's hair for a moment before gesturing to Kazuha, "Besides, look at these guys, do you really think they could handle a voyage without me?" She jokes, thankfully managing to distract Y/n enough to slow her crying down.

Without hesitation Kazuha puts his hand over his chest, "it's true, we would be utterly lost without our captain." His voice, only dry enough for the older listeners to notice.

Y/n stares up at the man for a quiet moment, her gaze slowly dragging down to her shoes dejected. "Do you promise to come back?" The question is whispered with every ounce of the nerves the small girl feels.

No sooner do the words leave her mouth does Bieidou have her in a crushing hug. "I promise." She whispers for only the girl, her hand gently patting her head soothingly. Pulling away with a wide smile, she continues louder, "and even if I didn't, Ning would somehow manage to drag me back anyway, so don't go thinking you'll be rid of me that easily." 

Y/n sniffles and keeps her face buried into Beidou's hold, "can I go with you?" 

A moment's hesitation and a hard glare from Ningguang gives Beidou her answer before the words come, "sorry, Little Rat, but the voyage to Inazuma is no place for a child." Her tone is soft, but firm. 

"But…"

"Besides, you need to help Ning prepare for some new friends to arrive!" Beidou smiles at how Y/n tilts her head in response to that.

Turning to face the woman in question, "do you need help, miss Ning?" Y/n asks, not seeing as Beidou is trying her best to convey 'just play along' with only an expression.

Ningguang smiles as she puts her hand on the small girl's head, "yes, we have a few hours before they arrive, so would you be ok with helping me get things ready for them?"

Looking back at the captain for a moment, Y/n takes a slow breath before rubbing at her face with her arm and facing Ningguang again, smiling brightly. "Uh-huh!"

The pair watch from the pier as Beidou and Kazuha take a boat to the Alcor, and longer still to watch for when the large ship sets sail off towards Inazuma. 

The rest of the day was taken up by Y/n "helping" Ningguang to prepare for the guests from Mondstadt. And many messengers and secretary's being met with the sight of Ningguang trapped at her desk as she sends notes and mora off to inns nearest to the Pavilion, with Y/n sitting in her lap and drawing happily on the paper Ningguang gave her to stop her from drawing on the edges of her letters.

The sound of Ganyu's kamera being the only thing that has Ningguang contemplating forcibly moving the child away as the adepti managed to catch her when she wasn't paying enough attention to tell the woman off.

<~~~~>

A man sitting off the side of the road in Liyue is not something worth taking note of in any situation. Nor the much smaller woman who keeps him company as the pair watch the crowds move. Even with the finery he wears and the many rings that adorn her hands, people like them are to be expected in the crowds.

What doesn't however are the pair of horses that split through the crowd, the two Knights resting atop the beasts being guided by Millelith. The distinct mark of Favonius further made them stand out in the Liyue bustle.

The tall man hums as he watches the pair move by, "well that is strange. What are two Favonias Knights doing in Liyue?" He speaks mostly to himself, but draws the attention of his companion.

She gives a short whistle, "you didn't hear the rumors? People are saying that the Tianquan sent invitations to Mondstadt and Inazuma, not long after capturing that thief that picked your pocket!" The woman giggles at the memory.

"Ah, that I did hear about. It's good that the Qixing dealt with that, such people have no place in Liyue, but that doesn't matter now." The man takes a slow breath as the pair of Knights disappear from his sight, "I do wonder what these invitations are for however."

Hu Tao leans back a relaxed sigh seeping from her, "perhaps the Qixing will make a proper announcement soon?"

Zhongli leans back, mirroring the woman's relaxed state as best he can manage, "Perhaps."

<~~~~>

Looking up to the Jade Chamber in itself is an entrancing experience. Surrounded by the group of Milileth that had met the two Knights at the gate. Eula hums as she climbs off of her horse, pulling the offering sword into her hands as she waits for Jean.

The grandmaster throws her leg over the horse's side, catching on a saddlebag, but freezing when the thick leather bag yelps.

Both Knights stare at the bag in confusion, Jean slowly climbing the rest of the way off the horse before reaching for the bag's clasp. Flipping the top up to be met with a pair of amber eyes surrounded by soft blonde hair.

"Klee! What are you doing in there?!" Jean shouts, pausing to take a slow breath before quietly glaring at the girl.

The small girl rubs at her head, whimpering from the pain of getting kicked, "Mr Kaeya said you were going to see the Creator! Klee wants to meet them too!"

Rubbing at her forehead Eula pulls the girl's attention, "you weren't invited with us, Klee, it's very rude to just arrive like this."

"Klee promises not to cause trouble!" The girl clamps her hands in front of her, almost in a praying position.

"That's not the point, Klee!" Jean starts, a new voice cutting her off as they clear their throat beside the two Knights.

Ganyu smiles awkwardly where she stands a short distance from the two Knights, a h/c haired girl hiding behind the adepti's legs. 

"Ah miss Ganyu, sorry about the delay, we just arrived, but it seems we have an uninvited tag-along." Jean recovers her serious disposition as she takes in the shorter woman.

The adepti giggles into her hand for a moment, "it's fine, but you should hurry, Lady Ningguang is waiting for you."

Eula nods, but Jean throws a glance to the small head poking out of a saddlebag before looking Ganyu in the eyes again. "I… I can't yet, I need to do something about Klee."

Ganyu follows her gaze to the small girl, before giving her a wave, "well, miss Y/n and I were just about to go on a walk, perhaps your little friend would like to join us?"

The Lawrence gently pulls Klee from the bag and sets her on the ground while Jean stumbles for an answer, "well, I… I don't want you to run into any trouble with her is all, but…"

Ganyu just waves her off, "it's no trouble at all!" She turns her gaze to Klee, kneeling down to be closer to eye level with the girl in red, "how about it miss? Want to go on a walk with us while these two go to their meeting?"

Klee looks at the woman in front of her, eyes moving to the girl standing beside her, then up to Jean who looks still unsure of the idea, then back to Ganyu again. "Um… sure!" She smiles brightly as she runs to the horse's saddlebag, hopping to climb in before popping back out again with a backpack almost as large as her entire body.

Jean moves faster than wind for just a moment, snatching the backpack before Klee can even start to put her arms through its straps. "Nope, Dodoco will be safe staying here. Remember the rules, Klee."

The blonde girl shuffles her feet for a moment before nodding, and stepping closer to the other child as Ganyu stands up straight.

"You two should really hurry though. Captain Beidou has already set off, but the Tianquan's patience won't last forever."

The two Knights walk to the platform that will take them up to the floating castle, Ganyu herding the pair of small girls away. For just a moment, as the platform begins to rise, Jean's eyes lock onto e/c orbs, a warm flash of familiarity storms through her heart.

And as fast as it came, it was gone, gone with the child that disappeared into the crowd.

Eula gently shakes Jean's shoulder to pull the woman from her sudden stupor, "um Acting Grandmaster Master… are you alright?"

Turning to face the other woman, Jean blinks slowly for a moment, "um… yes… yes I'm fine." Not offering further elaboration to what was surely just her imagination.

<~~~~>

She couldn't help but think that perhaps this wasn't a good idea. Y/n had gotten restless with spending much of the day in Ningguang's office, so Ganyu thought a nice relaxing walk would do the girl some good. And how could just one more child added to that walk make so much of a difference?

"See that stall over there? That one's my favorite place to steal from!" Y/n happily pointed to the streets below, Klee following her finger to see what the other girl was talking about.

"Wow, really? Why's that?" Klee smiled brightly, matching her companions' excited energy perfectly.

The pair of hair buns Y/n so quickly became fond of bobbed with the force of her nodding, "the old man sells really yummy fruits! And he gets really distracted super easy!"

Ganyu couldn't say it didn't make her happy that Y/n had warmed up to Klee so quickly, and how the pair seemed to make fast friends in so little time. But she couldn't ignore the way more and more people began to stare due to the girl's choice of conversation.

Klee jumps in excitement at Y/n words, "can you show me how to steal the fruit?" 

Oh no. Ganyu quickly interrupts what was sure to be Y/n saying yes, " no! No, come girls, I can just buy some fruit for the two of you. There is no need to steal anything at all!"

The pair let out disappointed groans at the adepti's words, but don't argue as she guides them down to the lower street. The trio approached the fruit stall in question, as Ganyu misses the girl's quiet giggles.

Ganyu simply bought three sunsettias, she's sure of it. Yet somehow as she sat on a bench with the two girls, they somehow had an imported lavender melon and small basket of berries as well.

Both girls humming happily as they chat away, leaving Ganyu to continue to question how she managed to miss catching the pair while she had been standing right next to them.

"You were right! These are really yummy!" Klee practically sings, juice sticking to her face as she munches at the fruit. 

Coated in an equally messy state, Y/n only laughed for a moment before taking a sharp gasp. The fruit she had held dropping to the ground as she curls in on herself. 

Ganyu and Klee both jump at the sudden shift, Klee setting her own snack aside to gently place her hand on Y/n shoulder. "H-hey, are you ok? Does your tummy hurt?"

Y/n only answers with a small whimper. Ganyu moves from where she had been seated to kneel in front of the girl, lowering her head to try and see Y/n's face. 

Hazey gold look back at her, gold tears dripping slowly as Ganyu could only see pain and fear written across Y/n's expression.

Ganyu stands quickly, gathering Y/n in her arms before turning her attention to a very concerned Klee. "We should get her back to the Jade Chamber! Can you watch over her when we get there?" 

Klee's worried expression immediately shifts to one of determination, the blonde girl giving an awkward salute before walking with the same determination alongside Ganyu, her arms occupied by choosing to keep the lavender melon in favor of the other fruits.

<~~~~>

The Jade Chamber lay quiet when Ganyu made for Ningguang's office. Y/n tucked into bed and Klee continuing to act the stalwart guard over her new friend.

It's a contemplative silence, the kind that hangs over your head when you remember memories that were embarrassing enough to be better off forgotten.

The pair of Knights sat in this silence, Jean staring down at the floor with her hands neatly folded against her chin, eyes wide as she considered the news she had become aware of. Eula however leans back in her seat, hands covering her face in an almost horrified stature. 

"The Divine Creator is a child."

"And you arrested her."

"She has no control over her divinity at all."

"And you want to keep her being found as secret as possible…"

The two Knights share a glance, eyes conveying quietly as best they can before Eula lets out an annoyed huff.

"Well there's already a problem with your plan of keeping it secret." The captain states, trying to regain her composure.

"Is that so? Care to tell me why?" Ningguang prods, eyes flicking to where Ganyu had silently poked her head through the door.

Jean sighs as she sits up straight as well, "Mondstadt already expects that the Creator would be here in Liyue. You see, one of Mondstadt's vessels, a young woman named Mona, practices the magic of astrology." Jean explains, fixing where hair had escaped the tie that held it in place behind her head.

"The same day your invitations arrived, Mona came to us with a vision that this meeting would be about the location of the Creator," Eula continues Jean's explanation, "rumor spread and the whole city has been beyond overjoyed."

Sighing at this development, Ningguang lets a groan slip as she takes a slow inhale from her pipe. Staring blank at her desk as she pieces together some plan of what to do next. "So half of Liyue and all of Mondstadt are already aware that Y/n is here…"

"Y/n?" The Knights question.

"It's the Creator's name, I told you, we are trying to let her live as normally as we can, using her name is the least of it all."

"Wait, isn't that the girl who was going on a walk with miss Ganyu and-" Eula muses, before being cut off by the blonde knight suddenly jolting from her seat.

"Klee! Oh no no no." Jean nervously mumbles as she spins to face the door, only to stop dead at the sight of Ganyu. Her mind, already grasping at worst case scenarios, "where are the girls? Did Klee make trouble? Are they both ok?"

The shortest woman in the room jumps at suddenly being stared down at by the Favored. Raising both hands in a sort of surrender, "no! Both of them are fine… but… nevermind." Ganyu looks sadly at Ningguang "tomorrow we need to discuss what happened this morning again." Focus returning to Jean, "But for now, Y/n is already in bed, and Klee probably won't want to leave her side until you take your leave for the night."

With that the pair of Knights visibly relax, little left to discuss with the now darkened sky, they collect their youngest companion and follow a guide to where they will be staying until the Inazuman Favored arrive.

<~~~~>

The autumn rainfall was gentle. Drops of water showered around a girl as she skips around in puddles. Humming happily as she squeezes the fabric of her new scarf between her fingers.

"Y/n, breakfast is going to be ready soon! Come back inside so you can dry off first!" A woman's voice calls, gentle and loving as it echoes in the girl's ears for only a moment.

Drowning out all, thunder claps, deafening in intensity, and followed quickly by yet more of the noise. The roar of thunder and rain shifts, the fury echoing from the cloud morphing into chants. Praying voices echoing from the skies in a cacophony of noise.

In shock the girl clasps her hands over her ears, frightened eyes raising to the somehow still darkening clouds. Just in time to see a flash, a ripple across the fluffy writhing surface. Gold screeching across the sky, flashing for short moments, less than a fraction of a second each, never in the same direction twice. As if searching.

And the girl couldn't so much as scream when the gold flash once more, the blinding intensity scorching her eyes with the dazzling color.

"Y/n? Y/N!" The woman's voice cries out in desperation. Echoing in the girls ears louder then the thunder could have a thousand times over.

<~~~~>

A scream is what woke Ningguang. In the dead of the night, the Jade Chamber is usually silent, not a sound save for the quiet howl of the wind around it, or the hushed chatter of patrolling guards. Any disturbance to that quiet was more than just rare, it had become practically an impossibility. 

A second more wrenching scream pulled Ningguang from her bed, running to follow the sound. Nearing the source as a third scream tore out from Y/n's room. Now close enough to hear the sobbing that fills the air behind it. 

Ningguang didn't mean to practically tear the door from its hinges when she came through, but the noise of the door slamming open suddenly, caused Y/n to jump, look at her, and come scrambling towards her, crawling out from beneath the heavy blankets that cover her. Gold streaming down her cheeks, and staining the silken pillow her head had been burrowed into moments ago.

The pair met in the middle, the moment Ningguang had come close enough to Y/n's bed, the girl had buried her face into the woman and let out another blood curdling scream, tears staining Ningguang nightgown. The woman instantly wrapped her arms tightly around the little girl as she began to hush her, humming a quiet tune that Ganyu had said helped to calm Y/n down before. The girl's sobbing did not slow down, only muffled as she clung onto Ningguang.

"It hurts! Miss! Please! Make it stop hurting!" Y/n cried, hazey gold eyes looking up, the area around them smeared in tears.

Ningguang loosened her hold, sliding down to kneel beside Y/n's bed, moving her hands to instead cup the girl's face, wiping at the still plentiful tears. "What hurts, Y/n? How does it hurt?"

The girl could hardly answer as sobs poured from her "m-my back! It hurts!" The girl's small hands move to cling onto Ningguang's wrists, eye's like a wounded animal, begging for any kind of relief from her pain.

Ningguang fought to keep her own fear and worry off her face as she slowly pulled her hands away from the girl's face. "Will you let me see what's wrong?" Ningguang could almost feel proud of how even and confident she could keep her voice, given the situation, but any pride that could be taken by it died quickly from the pained expression Y/n looked back at her with.

The girl gave a small nod before turning and planting herself face down into the bed, revealing two pairs of small wet stains in the back of her sleep shirt, one pair close to her shoulder blades, the other lower down her back. 

Ningguang swallowed her worry for just a moment, gently peeling the girl's sleep shirt up to the stains. And not quite stopping a small surprised gasp from slipping out at the sight. Small pools and trickles of near colorless iridescent blood seep from… 

From…

Are those… feathers?

[yintsukareta]

its stupid that no one sends in requests for 100 followers so im sending in more so you have more content SO what about hearing aid creator reader with bad habits? for example; hates loud noises despite being hearing impaired, terrible sleep schedule (falling asleep at 4 and waking at 5 for example) and eating habits (erratic and unhealthy food), loves the dark, can't sit still, can't work without some sort of music, awful handwriting only they can read, bottles up emotions, loves small compact spaces, etc etc. i cant wait to see what you do with this!! also with some mondstadt characters,, could i get amber, jean, noelle, barbara, lumine if possible, and whoever else you'd like to add!!

(something i notice and might help you!! as someone who's been hearing impaired since birth it's incredibly difficult to register sounds as words unless im staring directly at them and reading their lips!!)

note: yeah no im kinda sad that no ones requesting loll, also like most of this feels like a personal callout 💀💀💀

Creator's Bad Habits ft. Amber, Jean, & Noelle (short fic)

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

"Your Grace?" Jean worriedly called out into the dark room. She walked a few steps in, almost tripping on something. She felt around for a light switch.

"Master Jean?" Noelle called behind Jean, who was feeling her way around the dark room.

"Oh, Noelle. Could you get a candle and matches for me?" Noelle nodded before heading off into the hallway of the Headquarters.

Jean sighed as she could feel the mess around her. She knew that the creator told her that they weren't very organized, but she didn't know it was this bad. She looked around the room, spotting a faint glow on the desk they prepared for them.

"Master Jean, I've returned with the candle. Amber is also here and she lit up the candle for me." Noelle called, stepping into the dark room with the outrider.

"Are you sure Your Grace is here?" Amber asked Jean. Jean nodded and pointed to the faintly glowing figure on the desk.

Noelle passed the candle to Jean. Jean went up to the figure.

"Your Grace?" Jean called, slightly shaking the figure with her empty hand. (name) stirred a bit, opening their sleep-worn eyes at the blonde.

Noelle opened the curtains, letting in the soft shine of the morning sun. Amber looked worriedly around the messy room. Pillows on the floor, clothes disposed around the floor, covering the many gifts their acolytes have given them, which were also disposed around the floor. Their desk was also a mess.

"Morning,, Jean..." (name) yawned, wiping the sleep out of their eyes.

"Good Morning, Your Grace. We prepared some breakfast." Jean said softly.

"Mmm.. Yeah, I'll be there in a bit." (name) murmured.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

They in fact, weren't there in a bit. Jean came back into the room after the food went cold, worried for Their Grace. She found them working on their desk, only light in the room was the table lamp they provided for them.

Jean approached (name). She noticed that they were working on the official documents that they had to sign. She looked at the messy pile of signed papers. Every one had a messy unrecognizable symbol as a signature.

Jean only heard the slight humming now. (name) was humming as they signed each paper. As if working with the melody of the song. It was a bit clumsy yet she could hear how wonderful the song was. Whether (name) made the song up just now or heard it from generation to generation was a question she'll save for now.

"Oh, Jean." (name) looked up from their papers, noticing the blonde standing beside their desk after a few minutes.

"Your Grace, your breakfast went cold." Jean said worriedly. "You should stop working for a bit."

"I have to finish signing these papers first. I'm sorry, Jean." (name) said, giving a slightly forced smile, eyebags heavy from under their eyes. Jean sighed, knowing it would be disrespectful to try to force their creator to eat.

Notice me, Senpai! Prologue

Yandere Genshin Impact X Gender Neutral Reader YANDERE SIMULATOR AU

summary: It was your second year at Teyvat High. Expecting another normal year in your high school life. But why is there so many people suddenly courting you?!?! And why is there suddenly so many missing students?!?!

update: Now it has storyline previews for each nations (ones that are currently available at the game, of course.)

a/n: This is an explanation and cast of my Yandere Simulator AU story.

Starring..

Senpai as You.

[Name]'s Best Friend as Qingfu.

Mondstadt Edition

Ayano Aishi or Yandere Chan as Aether and Lumine.

Osana Najimi or First Week Rival as Eula Lawrence.

Hanako Yamada or Ninth Week Rival as Amber (STRICTLY PLATONIC).

Megami Saikou or Tenth Week Rival as Jean Gunnhildr.

Storyline Preview;

Aether and Lumine was always the same. They're twins after all. Ever since they were born, all they do is help people. No matter what. No matter what they feel. No matter how difficult it may be. It's gotten to an extent where they couldn't feel anything anymore. They just feel hollow. As ever blue sky and its beautiful clouds just turned black and white.

Yet, it became colorful once more ever since they encountered their beloved senpai, [L. Name] [Name]. They can't help that they felt butterflies in their stomach and felt as if the world has gained colour once more!

Yet.. Why do they feel uneasy when they saw their beloved senpai talking to another person?

They can't let them go. Not when they make them feel this way. Not when they are the reason their world is colorful. Not when they make them feel as if they have finally gained a reason to live.

They've been helpful for so long. They're allowed to be selfish.. Right?

Liyue Edition

Ayano Aishi or Yandere Chan as Zhongli

Osana Najimi or First Week Rival as Xiao.

Osoro Shidesu or Eighth Week Rival as Childe or Tartaglia.

Hanako Yamada or Ninth Week Rival as Hu Tao (STRICTLY PLATONIC).

Megami Saikou or Tenth Week Rival as Ningguang.

Storyline Preview;

Zhongli had always been the same. Considering, kind, but calm and content. Yet he couldn't shake off the feeling where he felt empty at the inside ever since his beloved, Guizhong, died due to a terminal sickness. He had long moved on from it. But his heart can't reset back to normal. He doesn't feel anything when people confess their feelings to him. Just hollow. Empty.

He can't help but long for the feeling of being in love again.

Yet, it all changed when he accidentally bumped into his senpai whilst walking around his new high school. Spilling their canned soda on him. It was supposed to be revolting. But he somehow doesn't mind. Not when his attention is fixated on their senpai.

When their hands touched, he felt something. Something growing inside him. Like a beautiful sunflower blooming once the sun rises.

He had forgotten what it feels like to be in love. If he is in love, is this what it feels like? Warm, but lovely? If it is, he'd want to feel like this forever.

Their interaction had already ended, yet his feelings kept growing.

However, a flower has to die in the end.

As he then saw his beloved senpai, talking to another man. So lovingly, so friendly. It couldn't help but make him feel rotten on the inside.

He finally gets his heart re-build once more, he can't have another broken. Not again. He will not let his senpai go. No matter what it takes. He doesn't care if he'll have blood on his hands. It's all for him and his senpai. He doesn't want to feel empty again. He will not let them go.

Inazuma Edition

Ayano Aishi or Yandere Chan as Kamisato Ayaka.

Osana Najimi or First Week Rival as Kuki Shinobu.

Amai Odayaka or Second Week Rival as Kaedehara Kazuha.

Osoro Shidesu or Eighth Week Rival as Arataki Itto.

Hanako Yamada or Ninth Week Rival as Shikanoin Heizou (STRICTLY PLATONIC).

Megami Saikou or Tenth Week Rival as Kamisato Ayato.

Storyline Preview;

Kamisato Ayaka has always been known for their family clan and business. Due to her parents no longer here, she and her older brother had to take care of the business at a young age.

She was always known as smart, elegant, and kind. Yet she stayed alone. She wanted to have friends. But God forbid it.

But, that all changed when she entered High School. The one her older brother designed, to be perfect for her and himself.

She was just relaxing at the rooftop. Enjoying the breeze. Until she decided to practice her dance. After all, no one is there to watch, right?

That is where she was wrong.

Her body swayed along with the wind. Granting her body free moves as she continued to dance with the wind. As she finally finished, she heard clapping.

Turning to where the noise came from.. It was from.. You. Her senpai.

“ That was beautiful..! ”

It was such a simple compliment. So why did her heart start beating fast?

That interaction had ended. It was supposed to be a small one, anyways. As you were busy with other things.

But she couldn't help but think about you. Her senpai. Her mind is basically infested with it. What could she do to impress you once again? What could she do to meet you again? What could she do to finally be of someone's main attention?

She needs you. She has to have you. You were the only one who could understand her. Who could accompany her. Who could finally set your attention to her. Just her.

So just look at her again, won't you? Just her. Don't look at anyone else. You won't need anyone else with her around.

Sumeru Edition

(ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO FIT THE ROLES MORE PERFECTLY)

Ayano Aishi or Yandere Chan as Al-Haitham.

Osana Najimi or First Week Rival as Wanderer or Scaramouche.

Amai Odayaka or Second Week Rival as Candace.

Kizana Sunobu or Third Week Rival as Kaveh.

Oka Ruto or Fourth Week Rival as Tighnari.

Asu Rito or Fifth Week Rival as Nilou.

Muja Kina or Sixth Week Rival as Layla.

Mida Rana or Seventh Week Rival as Il Dottore.

Osoro Shidesu or Eighth Week Rival as Dehya.

Hanako Yamada or Ninth Week Rival as Nahida & Collei (STRICTLY PLATONIC).

Megami Saikou or Tenth Week Rival as Cyno.

Storyline Preview;

Al-Haitham had always been.. Pretentious.

He was smart, he was attractive, he was looked up on to, he was anything you can ask for in a man.

So why does he feel empty?

It felt as if something is missing. It always feels like something is missing inside him.

He had spent all his time on books, knowledge, education. And nothing else. Was it company he craved? No, he isn't.

Right?

His interaction with you was simple. Yet cliche.

You were just going to grab a book in the library, that was obviously too tall for you to take. Getting onto your toes, you tried again. Only for another hand to reach for the book, touching yours.

As soon as the two of you made contact, he can't help but feel.. full.

He felt as if his stomach was filled with sweets, love and butterflies. But it was illogical! There was no way he feels this way just by touching your hand.

You let him take the book as it isn't that important to you anyways. Leaving him alone with his thoughts.

It was a nice gesture of you for him. Do you really prioritize others than yourself?

He decided to brush those feelings off, calling them annoying. But his heart kept beating fast. Ignoring what his mind said.

His vision was fixated on you as you left the library, yet through the windows.. He saw you and another.. boy.

Why is he so rude to you? Why is he so mean to you? Why is he so cruel to you? And why are you just laughing it off? Why are you smiling at him so lovingly? Why are you even hanging out with him? Why? Why? Why?!

He doesn't understand. He hates feeling like this, but he can't help but want more. He's never felt anything like it. Why does he want you so bad? Why does he want to get rid of anyone that dares to stand next to you? He doesn't understand.

Yet he knows one thing. He need to get rid of those who dare to stand next to you, let alone talk to you!? He has to. He has to. Only HE is allowed to stand next to you! Only HE is allowed to talk to you! Only HE is allowed to see that beautiful smile of yours. Only HE is allowed to hear your laughs. Him, him, him! Not anyone else! He won't allow it.

Please remember that each edition has different storylines. But same ending. So I hope you all are anticipated for chapter one!

they're the type to plan a date that concerns going out. they'll bring you literally everywhere they know you love — to the amusement/theme park, movies, theater, museums, mall, out of town/the country, the library, fancy meals — anywhere!! if you have a favorite hobby that concerns a few more things (sports, arts, etc.), you bet that it's in the list! it doesn't matter if it's not their cup of tea, it's in the list and they will join you, even if it includes breaking a sweat or two. throughout the whole day, they have their hands on you in any type of way that you consent. they'll keep their hand holding yours, their arms around your waist, on your shoulder — anywhere. they can't afford getting separated from you, mostly if it's a vast and/or crowded area, but also because of their desire to be close. with or without exchanging gifts, love is reciprocated.

— JUST THE TWO OF US

it has been quite a while that the both of you had the free time to just relax at home tangled in each other. food are a mix of all snacks, candies, homemades, and take outs. time is enjoyed together with indoor activities enjoyed by each other; playing games, playful banters, naps, cuddles, reading a book or two, watching shows together — anything that entertains the two of you. nothing mattered outside the walls of your shared humble abode, although going out together also seems like a good idea, the two of you are much more inclined to the thought of just the two of you. together. the past few days and weeks were spent being away from each other. however, right now, nothing and no one else mattered as the two of you bask into each other's warmth, love, and presence.

"let's stay here together for a little bit longer."

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Can I please request Sara, Lumine, and Noelle watching their S/O run through a hoard ot monsters(with a noticeable straight tunnel through a mountain behind them) to give them the lunch they packed for the girl, tears in their eyes at the thought of them going hungry?

(Genshin Impact) Sara, Lumine, and Noelle's S/O bringing them a packed lunch

Me omw to get stabbed by 400 treasure hoarders just to bring Sara a bowl of rice:

Sara hears rapid footsteps approaching her, which she responds by readying her bow, about to let loose an arrow to whatever dumb monster thought they could ambush her-

(S/O) "SARA!"

Sara falters when she realizes its S/O's footsteps they heard.

Many of the soldiers under her command raise their weapons on instinct, but quickly lowering it once they see who it is.

(Soldier) "Halt! What business do you have with the general?"

(S/O) "S-Sorry, I forgot to give her food for the road!"

Many of the soldiers looked at each other in confusion, and Sara could not resist doing the same.

They had departed the city nearly an hour ago.

In fact, they had taken a path through a mountain that was previously crawling with monsters not a moment ago before their arrival.

There were still some monsters crawling around. How the hell did they get here?

Sara awkwardly clears her throat, trying to not blush in front of her own men as she accepts the bento box, filled with cutely shaped rice balls in the form of small animals.

(Sara) "T-Thank you, S/O. This was not needed, but it is appreciated nevertheless."

Now she was absolutely failing to contain the blush as they smiled, wiping away a singular tear.

(S/O) "Thank goodness I managed to catch you in time! Stay safe, Sara. Everyone else too!"

(Soldier) "Thanks...?"

(Sara) "Wait, there's monsters crawling around back there! You can't just-"

S/O dashed back through the tunnel, every monster just seemingly ignoring them on the way back, despite the fact Sara and the other soldiers were ready to jump back in at a moment's notice.

They just...ignored them.

(Sara) "...We continue our march. And no one will utter a word about this incident. Understood?"

The soldiers immediately straightened their backs.

(Soldiers) "Yes, general!"

Lumine's hand readies itself to knock back the attacker with Anemo before hearing a familiar voice.

(S/O) "Lumine, wait!"

(Paimon) "The heck, S/O!?"

Lumine and Paimon turn around and find S/O nearly out of breath, holding a bag.

(S/O) "I forgot to give you this before you left!"

(Lumine) "...Oh, our lunch! Thanks S/O-...Wait a dang second, how the heck did you pass by the...?-"

The two looked at the tunnel behind them.

Yup, still absolutely crawling in slimes. Did they just dodge all that?

(S/O) "I thought you'd be hungry out there and I couldn't bear the thought!"

Lumine noticed they wiped away a tear, which softened her heart a little.

(Lumine) "Hah, you're a sweetheart, you know that?"

(Paimon) "And also crazy! We were dogpiled in there, don't tell Paimon you were following us the entire time!"

(S/O) "Alright, I'll see you at home!"

(Lumine) "WAIT!-"

S/O gracefully dodged every slime that leapt at them without even batting an eye, taking a light jog back to their home, leaving the two speechless.

(Lumine) "...I think we need to take dodging lessons from them."

(Noelle) "An attacker?"

Noelle's greatsword materializes into her hands and just as she's about to spin around and split them in half-

(S/O) "Noelle, you forgot your lunch!"

Noelle's eyes widen in surprise and she stops herself mid swing, tumbling over and catching herself by stabbing the blade suddenly into the ground.

(Noelle) "S/O?! How in the world did you get here?!"

Noelle was handed a cutely wrapped box in green cloth by a smiling S/O.

(S/O) "I just ran and caught up! You're really fast, you know that?"

Noelle leaned to her left, seeing the tunnel she had exited.

There were Ruin Guard in there! The only reason Noelle got through unscathed was because she was built different her vision protected her!

Why and how did S/O get through that without getting hurt?!

(Noelle) "Dear, thank you for giving me this, but-"

(S/O) "I don't think I could've gone through the rest of the day if I knew you were gonna be starving."

They wiped away a tear before nodding in content.

(S/O) "I'll see you back at home, dinner will be ready by then!"

S/O waved goodbye cheerfully and ran straight back.

Noelle's heart dropped and she dashed after them.

(Noelle) "Goodness me, S/O! PLEASE WAIT!"

Aether x First Date

"Wait, what?" She asked, blushing as she finally looked up from the flowers in his hand.

She could hear Amber and Noelle giggling excitedly behind her as quietly as they could when the blond-haired man looked up. "I'd like to ask you on a date. If you don't, that's fine. Just...don't hate me is all I ask."

Y/N gulped thickly before nodding. "I'd like that, Aether."

His face flushed brightly as Paimon popped out and squealed excitedly. "She said yes! She said yes! Traveler, she said yes!"

"She did..." He muttered, smoke practically coming out of his ears.

Y/N couldn't help but giggle before following him out. He was still quiet and nervous as he led her, which made it all the more endearing. She watched this guy conquer Fatui, dragons, sea monsters, and even gods! And yet, the idea of asking his friend on a date left him in such a state.

"What brought this on?" She asked curiously.

Aether blinked and smiled shyly. "Admittedly uh...There was this thing that happened in Inazuma. I'll tell you all about it later but I kinda got involved in getting two people engaged and it just...clicked. I'd...like that with you."

Y/N went bright red and giggled at that. "You jumped straight to the wedding already."

"I mean, wouldn't the point of dating be to ultimately get married?" He teased back, smiling shyly as he rubbed his neck.

"It would. It just surprised me you came all the way back here just to see me."

"I'd do it again and again. Send me a letter and I'll come back," He promised.

She smiled at that and nodded. "Or I could come with you," She suggested. "Maybe not right now because I still would need to wrap things up with the knights..."

Aether smiled and nodded. "I'd like that." He chuckled. "Normally I'd be scared but you're able to fight and have a Vision so it's more comfortable."

"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll find a way to be my honorary knight again," She laughed.

He couldn't help his smile as he led her out into the city of Mondstadt to enjoy the Windblume Festival.

Tabby: I'm sorry. Aether is such a cutie~ Real talk though, I love the idea of him being the true MC for as simple as evil Lumine is FUN.

Bloody Daydreams

Retro High School/Yandere Reader AU

Chapter 2: Sweet Berries

Masterlist

Featuring: gn!Reader x Aether, guest starring Lumine, Paimon, Diluc, and Noelle (Scara will get his time to shine soon dw)

Warnings: very slight yandere tendencies (only really towards the end of the chapter), reader is still a pessimistic insecure loser (but less obviously insecure in this chapter), reader drops an f bomb (not at anyone)

A/N: wassup guys. So I guess y’all kinda liked chapter one, so here’s chapter two, finally! Yeah, I know Scara isn’t in this chapter, but don’t worry, he’ll be back for chapter three. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this chapter :)

Only the sweetest of berries in your desserts

Everything after home room was largely uneventful or straight up annoying. No one likes having to do “ice breakers” or introduce themselves. I’d honestly rather be alone, and I’m sure some other students share my sentiment.

In any case, my day isn’t over yet. Somehow I was able to fake it until I made it by acting suitable enough for my part time job at the local diner, Stardust Diner.

Obviously I’m not the only worker from Teyvat High. My co-workers from Teyvat High are Diluc and Noelle. Noelle does a lot of the heavy lifting in the back but also does table-waiting when we’re understaffed. Meanwhile Diluc specializes in drink making. The milkshakes he makes are always delicious. No wonder everyone in Teyvat High comes here to hang out every day of the week.

As for me? I’m a waiter mostly, but I sometimes go to the kitchen and make the desserts. Sundaes are a classic favorite, as are cake slices and pie slices.

I was helping Noelle with our recent shipment of berries when the bell rings. After placing the last box in the back, I went to see if anyone I knew had come in, and lo and behold: the three new kids. Lumine and Aether, along with the middle school genius who skipped to high school, Paimon. All sitting on the booths. Lumine, however, decided to come to the bar and made eye contact with me.

“Can I help you?” I asked, doing my best to hide my awkwardness.

“I remember you from home room. I didn’t know you worked at Stardust Diner,” she said coolly.

“How else am I supposed to earn my own money?” I shrugged.

“Fair enough. Anyway, we’re ready to order,”

“Will do. I’ll just get my notepad…” and before I knew it, Lumine had hopped off the bar and got back to the table where Aether and Paimon sat.

She’s cool.

Definitely cooler than me.

But I couldn’t let that distract me. I grabbed a pen and notepad, and mentally prepared to take their orders.

When I approached the table, I put on my best smile, though it still probably looked awkward.

“Welcome to Stardust Diner, what can I start you out with this afternoon?”

Lumine went first.

“I’ll have a cola,”

regular cola

“I want a chocolate milkshake!” Paimon said excitedly.

choc milkshake

Aether, meanwhile, seemed to struggle a bit.

“Um, I’m not really sure what to try. Do you have any recommendations?” He smiled shyly

My heart skipped a beat, and I had to refrain from smiling too much over this.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally freaking out in my mind, but this is work for crying out loud. Professionalism.

But I only really had one drink in mind that wouldn’t leave me alone

“Well, I don’t know your drink preferences, but my go-to is always the root beer float. It’s a classic,”

“Then I’ll have a root beer float,” Aether nodded.

root beer float

“I’ll be back with those drinks” I said, nodding shyly.

Sure, I was at work, but I couldn’t help but let Aether occupy my thoughts. Even if only for a moment.

And then I got to the back and found Diluc.

“Hey Diluc, if you’re not busy, I got three drink orders. One cola, one chocolate milkshake, one root beer float,” I said. The redhead simply nodded and went to find the vanilla ice cream in the fridge.

Everything went as normal, and I served the drinks.

“Thanks,” Lumine said

“Wow it looks delicious!” Paimon said.

“Thank you, Y/N,” Aether said with his sweet smile. I watched Aether sip the root beer float, and he seemed to enjoy it. You were happy.

“You’re welcome. Are you all ready to order?”

~*~

Everyone ordered burgers, and they seemed to be enjoying their food. Meanwhile, one of the bullies of Teyvat High was getting on my ass because the jukebox was broken. So I tried to see what was up.

While I was troubleshooting, the jukebox chose a song, but kept looping on the word “love”. I could hear a chuckle from behind me. It was Aether.

“That’s a funny word to loop on, isn’t it~?” He lightly teased.

“Stupid jukebox, trying to be lovey dovey…” I grumble shyly, trying to stop the loop.

“What’s wrong with being lovey dovey?” Aether chuckled. Oh archons, his laugh is so sweet and silvery…

“I-…well…it’s cheesy,” I said lamely.

“Well, personally, I think being lovey dovey is sweet,” Aether looked right in my eyes.

“…hopeless romantic, huh?” I asked him, still working on the jukebox.

“Maybe just a bit,”

“…I don’t blame you,” I said. Soon I got pissed at the jukebox. “Why won’t this work?” I grumbled.

“Can I try?” Aether asked.

“No, you’re a customer,”

“Please? It’ll be quick,” he pleaded with me.

“I can’t allow it,”

I saw Lumine walk over, a firm look in her eyes.

“Alright, get out of the way,”

“Lumine?! what are you-?”

She fucking kicked the jukebox on the side, and it started working again.

“What the…”

“I’ve dealt with broken jukeboxes before,” Lumine said, as if she didn’t just attack the jukebox like it had insulted her bloodline.

“…You can sit back down now,” I told them both, still in shock.

“And I will be enjoying every minute of those cheesy love songs,” Aether lightly teased.

“Alright…let me know if you need anything,” I said, defaulting back to my customer service lines.

Aether nodded, sitting back down. Lumine approached me, however.

“…maybe we can…hang out sometime?”

“…yeah, I’m free on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.” I said.

“Cool. Meet me after school on Wednesday. By the courtyard.”

“Sure thing,” I agreed.

And so, I went back to work, amazed by this new development. I’m making friends…

~*~

After they finished their meals, they opted for a round of dessert.

“Let’s have some ice cream” Lumine suggested.

“I want chocolate!” Paimon said excitedly.

“Vanilla for me” Lumine said coolly.

“…I think I’ll have strawberry,” Aether said sweetly.

I took note of it and went to prepare it.

I scooped chocolate ice cream for Paimon, drizzling chocolate sauce on top and putting a maraschino cherry on top.

I did the same for Lumine.

With Aether’s, I got a little creative. I picked out the most delicious looking strawberries and mixed it in with the ice cream, put the chocolate sauce, and chose the perfect cherry to put on top.

“Only the sweetest of berries for you…” I whispered to myself. Then I snapped out of it. I’m at work after all. I walk out there and deliver the ice cream to the trio. When I put Aether’s ice cream on the table, he looked up and smiled at me.

“Thank you, Y/N,”

“Of course,” I said, as is appropriate for my job. “Enjoy,”

And then I went back behind the counter to help my fellow coworkers.

~*~

The rest of my shift was uneventful, but I felt inexplicably joyful when I thought of Aether. He was so sweet and precious and…yes, pretty too.

Was this love? If so, it was exhilarating. I want more of it. I want more of this feeling. I want to be closer to Aether… I really do.

And I can’t wait to see him in class tomorrow.
