Hiya there friend I saw your masterlist and decided to jump in

I liked ur last post soou

I was thinking shuichi, byakuya, nagito (from danganronpa) with a s/o that is arrogant to some plp but a total people pleaser/nice/soft to them ( if u understand what I mean😭)

Anyways lovely dont forget to eat and drink andd have a nice day

S/O is Arrogant to Everyone But Them

Fandom: Danganronpa

Characters: shuichi, byakuya, nagito

Type of Request: Headcanons

Notes: You take care of yourself too! Have a nice day ❤️

Byakuya

I mean two peas in a pod. Well with the first part anyway.

Togami doesn't care about being kind to others as his image and title and all that is most important. You doing the same but with yourself is good. It lets him know that you understand your worth unlike some.

Would be a bit suspicious at how you act differently to him. He does have lots of money and isn't a fan of flattery to get it. But then he realizes it's just because you like him so he learns to deal with it.

Nagito

Doesn't get why you act the way you do to others as it's not an attractive quality, but he supposes it makes you happy so who is he to tell you not to be happy. Nagito does wonder if it's his luck that you are so kind to him.

He doesn't quite know if it's good or bad luck though since he has seen how rude you can be to others and doesn't know if he wants that type of person nice to him.

You being real sweet to him is new. He's used to getting nasty looks or people ignoring him. So it's weird that he has someone fawning over him. Not that he doesn't like it, it's just different.

Shuichi

Has tried to talk to you about being nicer to his friends at least. He gets that you have your own personality and values but, Kaito doesn't deserve all the sass that you throw at him.

Hides his face in his hat quite a bit when you do come around and compliment him or give him a nice gift.

Shuichi's not used to this kind of attention and he just gets embarrassed easily.

Falling In Love With Megumi Fushiguro

FEATURING Megumi Fushiguro x Reader

SUMMARY Some Megumi x reader headcanons requested by the lovely @plasmasimagination

CONTENT WARNINGS mentions of sex, CHARACTER IS AGED UP, not edited (like at all), good luck!

AUTHORS NOTE: please remember that these are my own headcannons, you do not have to agree with them in any way, shape, or form, but you do have control over your response. Friendly debates and constructive criticism is welcome, hate and rude comments are not, thank you and enjoy! <3

Our little gumi (>.<) is more of a reserved, quiet character, and I feel like this would transfer into a romantic relationship as well.

It would take him a long time to trust you, and we all know he has HELLA abandonment issues, so you better be prepared to reassure your broody monster.

Megumi is definitely the type of boyfriend who shows his love for you in subtle ways, like lingering glances or small gestures. And the two of you definitely have a whole other language on lock through hand squeezes and weighted looks.

He is the kind of guy to lean more toward acts of service for his love language, like making sure you got home safe or remembering your favorite things without asking.

And I also think he would lean more toward a homebody S/O, he is just a little guy who wants to come home after a long day, cuddle up on the couch, and read a book in silence while simply enjoying the space together.

Megumi Fushiguro has TRUST ISSUES, he went into a relationship with you having one foot out the door already. What did him in was your fierce protectiveness over him.

He had never been more in love than when you got in Gojo's face and chastised the older man for invading his space while he was trying to breathe through a panic attack.

Because he has trust issues, it's really hard for you to get any information out of him at first, that man is a brick fucking wall when he wants to be.

and even when he does let down his guard, he might not be the most eloquent in expressing his feelings. He tends to bottle up his emotions but appreciates how patient and understanding you are with him.

Though he’s generally calm, Megumi can feel a bit jealous when someone gets too close to you, though he tries to hide it. His jealousy isn’t loud or aggressive but more of a quiet sulk until you reassure him.

REPEAT AFTER ME, HE IS A POUTER!!!

Like, this man will sit down with a HUFF, lips jutted out and arms crossed tightly over his chest like a toddler being told no.

He only stops when you sit in his lap and drown his face in kisses :)

He’s not one to give verbal compliments often, but when he does, they carry a lot of weight. A simple, “You did great,” means everything coming from him.

Rather than grand romantic gestures, Megumi shows his love through practical means—like ensuring you eat properly, bringing you water during long study sessions, or patching up any wounds you might have from training.

I know there are people who believe he would act inconvenienced (much like his father) at the opportunity to take care of another person, but I believe that it helps Megumi feel more secure in your relationship. He's someone who needs to feel needed, who enjoys having a purpose, and if taking care of you is that purpose, you won't catch a single complaint about it from him.

Although he’s serious most of the time, there are rare moments where Megumi shows a more playful side, especially when he’s comfortable around you. He might tease you lightly, smirk when you’re being sassy, or ruffle your hair just to see your reaction.

He especially loves when he's playing video games with Yuuji and you overhear his friend make a snarky comment about something you did in training and the two of you start going at it over the mic like a couple of siblings.

Megumi loves that your close with his friends.

Once he’s committed, Megumi is deeply loyal. He’s not the type to leave your side easily, and you can rely on him no matter what. Even when things get difficult, he’ll stick with you, quietly supporting you through thick and thin.

Despite his cool exterior, Megumi can be a bit shy in bed, especially in the early stages of your relationship. Compliments or bold expressions of affection might fluster him, though he tries to hide it.

He also isn’t loud or vocal, but his breathing and the way he touches you speak volumes. He may let out soft sighs or low groans, but it’s the intensity in his eyes and the way his body moves with yours that communicates his desire.

Ass guy? Nah, he's an eye guy FOR SURE

During intimate moments, Megumi’s gaze rarely leaves you. He locks eyes with you as if grounding himself in the connection you share. That eye contact is intense (I'm talking the weight of a thousand suns) but comforting, as if he’s saying everything he struggles to voice.

love. ❦︎ megumi x reader oneshot

request from : @plasmasimagination

word count : 786

this is a bit short and i am sososo sorry but if you want a nsfw verison feel free to request !

Megumi steps through the door, slipping off his shoes with his feet and looking tired. "Hi, Gumi," You say, throwing another popcorn into your mouth and chewing loudly. "How was your day?" Your boyfriend looks you straight in the eye, hoping to signal that he doesn't want to talk about it. You blink back in response and turn your head back towards the TV, hoping he could explain later.

"It' was fine, love." He huffs, walking towards the bathroom. "Im'a change real quick." You hear a loud shut from the door, giving the final sign that someone pissed him off, not telling you the reason. For fuck's sake. As you hear shuffling from the bathroom, you contemplate texting Yuji about what happened in training today, but you decide against it when Megumi walks out of the bathroom with his dirty clothes in his hands. He hastily throws them into the laundry basket and plops his head onto your lap, almost dropping the popcorn. It's shocking.

"Is everything alright, baby?" You question in a soft voice, trying to soothe his nerves. "Did something happen today?" Megumi gruffs in response and buries his head into your stomach, clearly not wanting to talk. You sigh as you start to play with his hair, untangling the mess of black hair. You two stay there silently for a few minutes, just appreciating each other's company. You check your phone to see if anyone has given you a heads-up about him, but to your surprise, you see nothing.

Plan B. "Such a cutie." You mutter under your breath, trying to get his attention. Megumi turns his head to look up at you, still having a face of annoyance.

"You've said. Many times." He huffs. You slowly ruffle through his hair and catch Megumi to shut his eyes. "Come on, What's wrong?" "Nothing."

"There is something."

"No, there isn't."

"Your ears turn pink when you lie. They're bright red right now, like Rudolph's nose."

Megumi looks up at you in defeat, sighing. "People are just assholes, that's all."

"Is that all?"

"No, do you love me?" He asks sarcastically. The question throws you off guard as you accidentally drop some popcorn onto his face in response. "Gross." He mutters, picking the popcorn off his face and giving it to you.

You sit there, dumbfounded, as he waits, completely unbothered. "Are you serious, Gumi?"

"I wasn't at first, but come to think of it, do you love me?"

"Yes!" You say, turning Megumi to look towards your face. "You're the first boyfriend I've had, the love of my life, first kiss, everything blah blah. How could I not love you?"

"No one does."

You shut your lips into a tight seal, looking for the right words. "You know you're the most precious thing in my life, correct? If you died, I have no idea what I would do." He shrugs. Men are so stupid. "Gumi, look at me. You are the most important person in my life, and I have no idea what I would do without you. You might think I'm saying this because I don't want you to feel sad or some bullshit like that, but I'm not. I still have no idea how I made you fall in love with me." Megumi looks at you momentarily, staying silent at the shocking confession. You both weren't good at expressing emotions, so you had every right to believe he was surprised.

His lip twitches. "Thank you." He seems to be trying to find the right words to say, looking away. "I appreciate you too. I still have no idea why you're even by my side. I.." He takes a moment to compromise himself. "I love you too." You hold back a laugh.

"I never said I loved you, but come to think of it, I do." Megumi's cheeks turn a light pink as you end up laughing. You cover your mouth, trying not to embarrass him. He rolls his eyes and covers his face with his hands, groaning. "It's fine," You laugh, "It was just so cute."

"Yeah, and our kids will be real cute too." Silence. Shittt.

"Real smooth, Fushiguro." You snort as he turns his head towards his lap. You secretly pray he doesn't feel how wet you are.

"Am I wrong?"

"No, not at all."

"Let's go make some right now." You can practically hear him smirking.

"Since when were you this bold?" You question.

"Since right now."

"Mhm, and why is that?"

"Because I can feel how wet you are right now." You gasp, hearing him laugh softly. "Well?"

"Of course."

[koiir]

You and I, it’s more than like

summary - when meeting once again, the wander takes his chance with you so you don’t slip away like you once did.

Genre - fluff

Pairing - Scaramouche x gn!reader

an -this was requested by @plasmasimagination where scara confess to reader. Reader refers to wander as “kuni” *bc I called him that *also spoilers to the archon quest

Meeting the wander while admiring the sunset certainly wasn’t something you were expecting, along with the feeling you felt when he came. Maybe it was his aura? But it felt as if you had meet him before, like an old friend. Yet you had no memories of him. “Hey, can you…” as you heard the voice, you moved so he could get what he had drop. Once you turned to face him, you looked down with both of making eye contact.

He was shocked to see it was you, the person he wished he could spend more time with before he wandered to sumeru. He remembered how he so called hated you pestering him all the time, yet never left you. It was clear though that you didn’t remember or have any memories of him, which filled him with dread. But he didn’t let it show. “Still as beautiful as ever,” he thought. He knew right then and there that this was chance, his chance to get you back.

“I’m sorry about that… how about I repay you?”

“What? You really don’t have to have you know…”

“It’s fine, my treat.”

Soon enough, you found yourself with the wander as he took you out for some food. Surprisingly, he had started a conversation and the two of you continued chatting until the moon rose. With that, the friendship of you and the wander began.

“Why do you always want to meet up here kuni?” Because it’s where I found you again. He wanted to say that, but you wouldn’t know what that meant. “You’re not the only person who admires the sunset,” he scoffed. It was the same almost every day, meeting in front of the Sanctuary of Surasthana and chatting away with one another. You noticed your feelings for him, and he had already knew about his. Yet he didn’t know what to do, tell you the truth? About his past? How would you react? He wouldn’t know if he didn’t try. “You’re saying that and yet the only thing visible is the moonlight.”

“And? Same thing.” He then looked at you, the moonlight making you seem more beautiful than ever. He never thought he would do this, but he grabbed your hand from the railing and started to talk.

“[name], I… look, I care about you more than a friend would, every single time we meet and depart something feels missing. It feels as if you are missing, from my life. It’s felt that way every since I met you. What I’m trying to say is, I want something between us. I want you to be in my life forever.”

“Are you, confessing to me?” You were stunned to say the least. The look in his eyes had a look of an emotion you couldn’t tell, but you knew you had seen it more than once. Yet one thing didn’t make sense. “But, what do you mean ‘when we first met? I mean, how could you miss me if you had only known me for a day?”

“Ugh, I’ll just show you.”

“Wait what-“

Thats when Kuni had placed his hand on your cheek and pulled you in for a kiss. With that, you knew what he meant. Your eyes went wide at the memories you saw, from when he the 6th harbinger, from the first time you met him. He was…

“Kunikushi.”

“Right on the mark, I promise to explain everything later. But… I just need one more.” Once he said those words, kuni pulled you in for another kiss.

Unexpected Confession ( Wanderer x Reader )

Authors / Writer's note : I'm so sorry this took so so long 😭 I was trying to focus on Telephone more, I'm so so sorry, may also contain spoilers !

Happened after the boss battle, basically when Scara became Wanderer

---------------------------------------------

"Feeling any better, Wanderer?" You ask, the Wanderer nods, "At least rather than when I woke up. God when I woke up it felt like a nightmare.." he says, you sigh, "Gotta thank Nahida for taking care of you for so long. You're in debt to her." You say, Wanderer nods with a smile, "You're smiling." You point out sitting next to him, "..yeah, I learned to accept more human emotions now.. I guess it's not so bad." He says turning to you, you smile to that, "I'm glad, you really changed for the better huh." You say, the Wanderer nods, a comfortable silence feels the both of you, the Sanctuary of Sarusthana is behind you, you were both sitting down at the edge, you were kicking your feet back and fourth, while Wanderer's feet is still, you then saw something bright blinking at the side of your eye, you turned your head to look at it, and once you turned your head, you saw Wanderer holding his vision so carefully, you then switched your gaze to his face, you saw him smiling, a soft smile. You smiled as well and giggled, Wanderer heard it and looked at you, in realisation, Wanderer covered his face with his hat. You looked up to the beautiful view of Sumeru City, you sighed, "Hey, Wanderer," you call out to him, "Hm?" He hums, "I love you, so so much." You confess, Wanderer's eyes widen, his cheeks tinted like a sakura bloom, "I.. love you too." He says, he means it, and you know it. You giggle in content and happiness, you then rest your head on his shoulder.

He has never felt this human before, and you made him feel this emotion.

the christmas mix | genshin impact x reader event rules + masterlist

hi, everyone! merry early christmas to those who celebrate it, and to those who don’t, I hope you’re having a good time regardless!

as a way to celebrate christmas this year (as well as two years on this barely active blog, I guess? two years. wow.), I’ll be hosting an event in which you’ll be able to request genshin impact x reader works or drabbles with christmas-themed writing prompts (I’ve got 20 prompts in total).

each prompt is based on one classic christmas song (I tried to choose non-religious ones, so no o holy night, ave maria etc., so sorry 😞)

to request, please just send me an ask (whether it’s an anon ask or not doesn’t matter :D).

your ask should include: the prompt(s) that you’d like, the character(s) you’d like, as well as whether you’d like the work to be platonic or romantic (in the case that you don’t specify this, I’ll just assume what you want. characters who most of the fandom consider adults will be written in romantic works, whereas platonic works will be written if otherwise).

you can also add any additional info you’d like in the work, e.g.: if you like domestic fluff and want it in the work, please just include this in the ask and I’ll pop a fluffy domestic christmas work out:)!

you can place multiple characters as well as multiple prompts in each ask!

genshin impact masterlist

CHILDE

Childe is so easy-going and downright chaotic, this doesn´t surprise me in the least

His reaction will just be “whoops” and then he goes about his day

Obviously, Childe´s still very interested in your answer, so if you don´t have one on the spot, he´ll be back to pester you about it at the latest the day after

All in all, he´s very casual about it, he´s confident in himself and he would´ve told you eventually anyway, what´s the harm with doing it sooner than later?

“Come on, you can do better than that.” The ginger knocked the sword you were holding right out of your hands with his own before closing the distance and wrapping his arms around your neck in a chokehold. His voice sounded right next to your ear now. “You seem distracted today. Don´t tell me I´m your distraction.”

It was laughable, really, the fact that you and Childe even sparred together, considering the circumstances of your first encounter. Both of you had been sent to deal with the same target, a guy who royally screwed up by getting in trouble with the Fatui and the people who commissioned you at the same time.

He was foolish enough, however, to think he could benefit from being targeted by two ruthless organisations. In his arrogance he secretly arranged to meet the two of you at the same time in the same place, hoping you would tear each other apart while he made a run for it.

At first, his plan seemed to work and he quickly took off while you and Childe were focused on assessing the bigger threat in the room. Much to the fool´s dismay, you were more evenly matched than he anticipated, both in fighting and reading the room, so you quickly came around to form a temporary alliance after clearing the situation.

You displayed a terrifyingly smooth synergy as you made sure the guy and his associates paid their debt and the price for trying to set you up in full. Once the messy business was wrapped up, the two of you came to an agreement to leave out certain details in your report to your bosses. For you, this was a done deal at this point.

Little did you know, however, that Childe had no interest in giving up a perfectly good sparring partner just like that. So, late one night he practically ambushed you on your way home, eager to cross blades with you again. Although you had half a mind to ignore him and go your own merry way, you´d lie if you said your little scuffle with the harbinger had been anything short of exhilarating. The memory alone had your fingers twitching in anticipation of facing off with him again.

Yet, as time moved forward, your sessions became more frequent and you had become so familiar with each other´s habits and mannerisms, it seemed like you could read the other´s mind. Instead of snappy retorts and biting remarks, you exchanged playful banter and his presence that was once so infuriating was something you started to look forward to.

There was a spring in your step whenever you´d meet up with him and before you knew it you were spending time together outside training. Going around town, exploring the landscape, everything was so fun and exciting when you were with him and you craved the thrill he brought to your life.

That was what you reasoned, at least. The way your heart beat faster around him was only the adrenaline, your body running hot was merely the strain from sparring, being around him was purely a means to get stronger. You could quit at any time, no strings attached. That was what you told yourself…but could you really?

“That´s it, actually,” you panted. “I am distracted by you.”

The moment he slightly loosened his hold on you, that was when you planted your foot behind his and pulled it from under him, making him lose his balance in the process. As you fell backwards, you made sure to put all your weight in when you landed to knock the air out of him. While Childe was busy regaining his senses, you swiped his blade and pressed it against his neck as you straddled him.

“I´m distracted by how slow you are, so don´t get cocky now.” You leaned closer to his face, eyes crinkled in amusement and the corners of your mouth curved upwards. There was a bit of truth in what the harbinger had said but you´d never admit that out loud for him to hear. He´d be insufferable about it.

Catching his breath with a heaving chest, Childe let out an airy laugh. “Using a man´s hopes against him in a single moment of weakness…How did I fall for someone so cruel?”

Both of your eyes widened in shock at that. Yours at the implication his words entailed and Childe´s at the fact he confessed his thoughts to you. The sword's edge dug into his skin as you narrowed your eyes further, searching for something in his eyes, something that gave away either lie or truth.

“Are you saying this just so I´d let my guard down?”  You weren´t quite sure what the emotion in your voice was or if there was any at all. Why did the idea of him taking back his words make you so mad?

“No, I could never lie to you like that. Well, there´s no use pushing this back any longer, so here goes.” His expression was so genuine you almost believed him. Or maybe it was more that you wanted to believe him. “If someone had told me after our first meeting that I´d fall for the person who´d tried to kill me, I would´ve laughed at them. Sure, I was intrigued. Usually, nobody makes it out of a fight with me quite so unscathed, so I came back out of curiosity for your strength. But over time, I started looking forward to learning more about you other than your fighting prowess. How you spent your days, what you like to eat, the flowers you´d like best; all this stuff that I´d never think twice about with anyone else. I wanted to get to know you, not for work or business reasons but because I started actually caring about you. I like you, (y/n). And that´s the truth, I promise.”

“A promise, huh? You know what they say.” It took an awful amount of strain to keep your voice stable. “You make a pinkie promise, you keep it all your life. You break a pinkie promise…”

“…I throw you on the ice. The cold will kill the pinkie that once betrayed your friend, the frost will freeze your tongue off so you never lie again.” Childe laid his head back against the ground and chuckled, never once breaking eye contact with you. “Good thing that I have no intention of breaking my promise then. You´d actually throw me on the ice. So, what do you say? Are you willing to give me a chance?”

“I guess I´ve taken worse risks in my life,” you said, a small smile stealing itself onto your lips. “And if you do break your promise… Well, you said it yourself.”

“You´re way too enthusiastic about that part, have a little faith in your boyfriend. Seems I was right though.” The smirk crossing his face was tell enough something was up and you were proven right when Childe was suddenly gripping your hips and flipping you both over, effectively pinning you to the ground. “You were distracted by me. I win.”

You didn´t miss how his gaze slipped to your lips for a split second and it had you instinctively quirking your brow in amusement as you hummed in mock contemplation.

“Are you sure about that, pretty boy?”

KAEYA

Honestly, he usually doesn´t share enough about himself to accidentally expose himself like that

This is really, really, really rare, you´d better appreciate the occasion

Kaeya will try and turn this situation around on you, doing his best to fluster you in hopes of moving the conversation away from what he just said (don´t let him, bestie, stay strong!!)

He will come clean eventually and it´s time for some honesty from our beloved Cavalry Captain

To be fair, he can probably gauge your reaction pretty accurately, considering he´s been teasing and flirting with you for a while now

It had been a couple of weeks since you made it into the Knights of Favonius, years of hard training finally paying off. To say that you were ecstatic would be an understatement. But being new also meant working harder than ever in an effort to prove yourself to the Acting Grandmaster and the other knights.

What didn´t help your situation at all was your developing crush on a certain Cavalry Captain. Whenever you had to report back while Kaeya was there as well, you fumbled over your words in an effort not to make a fool out of yourself. Yes, you were an accomplished knight, confident in your abilities to handle whatever life threw at you… just not in front of him. Even more so when he graced you with that handsome grin or sent you a cheeky wink.

Why did you have to go and fall for the flirtatious swordsman barely after securing your spot in the first place? Could you be more unprofessional? But no amount of scolding made your heart flutter less in his presence, so you decided your best course of action would be to ignore these feelings in hopes of them dying down without making it too obvious for anyone else. Especially not your best friend in the knights, who, as fate would have it, just happened to be part of the Cavalry unit. You knew they´d never let you live this down if they found out.

You had just handed in some paperwork to your higher-ups when two knights you were fairly acquainted with approached you.

“(Y/n)! Good thing running into you. We´re going for some drinks at Angel´s Share tonight and we wanted to invite you. You know, so you can get to know some of our colleagues a bit better.”

“Thanks a lot, guys,” you said as you gave them an apologetic smile, “but I´ll have to pass, unfortunately. I have the morning patrol tomorrow, so it´s going to be an early start for me.”

“What a shame, really. But if you change your mind, just drop by, high chance we´ll be there for a while.” Judging by their knowing grins, they were already experienced in the matter. You bid them goodbye before going to wrap things up for the day. The advantage of morning patrol was getting off early the day before. Just as you were about to leave the Knight´s headquarters and head home, you heard a familiar voice call out to you.

“Grandmaster Jean, what can I do for you?”

“Oh, it´s nothing that serious.” The blonde smiled at you. “I reworked the patrol plan for tomorrow again and I wanted to ask if you mind taking the afternoon shift instead of the morning one?”

“That works just fine. Do you want me to stay longer today then?”

“No, there will be no need. Today´s rather quiet and you worked very hard ever since you joined the knights. This didn´t go unnoticed by me, so please take the time to relax and get some rest. I will see you tomorrow afternoon.”

You didn´t know if hitting the bar for some drinks counted as “rest and relaxation” but you guessed some “team-building” would come in beneficial in the future. Since you hadn´t asked when exactly the others would meet at the tavern, you aimed for an hour or two after most of them got off work and by the time you arrived the main group were already laughing and chatting over a glass of wine or beer. And it didn´t seem to be their first round either.

At first, your entrance went unnoticed but soon enough one of the guys who had invited you spotted you and waved you over. “(Y/n)! You made it, good to see it. Here, let me introduce you to everyone.”

You acquainted yourself with everyone while ordering something to drink. Looking around for some familiar faces, you neither found your friend from the Cavalry nor his captain. One of the other knights noticed and told you that he saw your friend on the second floor earlier. You thanked him before climbing the stairs, careful not to spill your drink. A certain snippet of a conversation made you halt a few steps away from the top of the stairs.

“Captain, what´s the matter? You´re normally more cheerful when we go for drinks. But you´ve been looking down since earlier. No wait- I want to figure it out on my own. You were still normal after patrol…And also when we entered the tavern… Then one of the guys said that the newbie won´t make it…” The person who had spoken made a drawn-out humming sound, deeply contemplating their options before gasping excitedly. “Don´t tell me that´s why! By Barbatos, our Captain has a crush!”

The whole table erupted in loud cheers which prompted the whole floor to raise their glasses in enthusiasm, even if the other tables had no clue what was going on. With a fluttering heart, you slowly crept farther up to see Kaeya sitting with his back to you, head propped on his right hand. His left hand was nonchalantly waving around as he rejected every notion of that claim being true.

“Oh, come on, Captain, don´t be like that. We saw you, always coincidentally having to talk to the Grandmaster when they have to submit a report,” a knight chuckled. Kaeya´s argument that it was because you were a new recruit and somebody had to keep an eye on you was met with a loud “Excuses!”

“So, you don´t deny always talking to the Grandmaster when (y/n) is also there?” You could practically hear the smirk in your friend´s voice. Another round of boisterous laughter. What had Kaeya done for them to hound him like that? Deciding to no longer hide, you stepped up and headed straight for their table. As much as you tried, you couldn´t suppress your smile completely as your lips twitched up at the corners.

“Look at that! The knight in shining armour arrives! (Y/n), we just happened to talk about you.” You raised an eyebrow in fake surprise and motioned him to keep speaking. For all the playful flirting Kaeya had put you through, you were going to torture him some more. “Actually, our Captain here was just com-“

“Complimenting you on a job well done.” The man in question gave you a charming grin while clasping his hand tightly over the guy´s mouth. “I heard about it from Jean, you´re doing good for a newbie.”

“Thank you, Captain.”

“Oh please, just call me Kaeya. We´re off work after all.” The Cavalry unit called favouritism at the top of their voices. One of them even dared to wolf whistle while his boss´s back was turned. “Though, I have to say your timing is impeccable. There is something I wanted to talk to you about.”

This time your brows shot up in actual surprise. Without asking any more questions you followed him to the balcony outside, the shut door drowning out the murmurs of the knights. Kaeya leaned onto the railing as he focused his bright eye on you.

“So, how much of that did you hear?”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Feigning innocence might be your best option to save both of you some embarrassment, at least that was what you planned. Your counterpart seemed to have other ideas though.

“Don´t play dumb with me now, (y/n). We both know you´re sharper than this.” He crossed his arms in front of his chest, gaze unwavering and face unreadable. It was hard to gauge his reaction, which made you fumble with your words. “Fine then, I´ll tell you what I know. I heard you talk to someone downstairs who told you that your friend was up here. I don´t think it would take a skilled knight multiple minutes to climb some stairs and your arrival was just a bit too timely. Therefore am I correct in my assumption you eavesdropped on our conversation?”

You deflated visibly as you sighed but gave a shameful nod nonetheless. Honestly, you should´ve known better than to try and hide something from Kaeya. At the sound of his low chuckle and approaching steps, you perked up again.

“You´re so honest, it´s cute. A true knight through and through, one might say.” There was something about that glint in his eyes, however, which made you feel more like a deer caught in headlights than a knight. “Mind if I share the rest of my observations?”

“N-no, go on.” You had tried to subtly shift towards the wall, which was a terrible move, as you learned now, because it only allowed Kaeya to come closer without anywhere for you to run.

“Well, seeing as you didn´t go straight back down, you couldn´t have been entirely put off by what you heard. In fact, you looked quite excited. You also didn´t properly greet your friend but instead went with me without any qualms.” If it was possible, he leant in even closer as one hand ghosted over your cheek. “My, you´re growing quite hot. I wonder, is it the drinks or something else that´s got you like this? Personally, I think it´s the latter, if I may go by how flustered you are whenever we talk. Not to mention the glances you steal when you think I won´t notice. Now then, (y/n), is there something you want to tell me?”

This was it. This was karma for wanting to torment him earlier and also the way you´d die. Taking a deep breath, you mumbled a quiet apology to which Kaeya cocked his head to the side.

“There´s no need to apologise. But if you really wanted to make it up to me,” his hand rested now fully against your skin and his smile seemed to soften, “you could let me take you out on a date, that sound good?”

“I- yes, yes that sounds great!”

As he chuckled, he couldn´t help pinch your cheek before turning to go back inside. “Wonderful, I´ll pick you up at 7 this Friday then.”

“Wait, I don´t know if I have to work-“

“You won´t.”

You watched the door close behind him as you sunk onto one of the chairs. What just happened? That couldn´t have been real. While you processed what had just taken place, one question remained:

Why, by Barbatos, did it have to be Kaeya?

[The first day after you and Kaeya started officially dating, a lot of Mora changed hands among the knights of the Cavalry unit…]

THOMA

Thoma is normally rather meticulous with anything he does

So, his first thought when he notices what happened is probably something along the lines of “oh shoot, oh shoot, oh shoot—”

Switches into fixer mode real quick though and just goes with the flow of the situation

The housekeeper of the Kamisato Clan is a naturally social person and he´s used to things not going quite the way he planned it, therefore he´s quick to reboot (you might not even notice something went “wrong” in the first place)

Thoma had been turning the beautiful letter in his hands for hours, staring at the address written in neat handwriting far too often. He had spent the last days and nights trying to come up with a confession he didn´t internally pass away at. And now that it was done, he was contemplating again if he should send it or let it catch dust in his drawer. With an exhausted sigh, he placed the letter on his desk again before getting ready for the day, there was plenty of work to be done around the house after all.

Naturally, he had thought of just confessing to you in person but first of all, he´d have to find a time where both of you were free, he´d have to ask you out and then also confess. Thoma was by no means a shy person and he has always been pretty honest with his feelings, although, after he saw how much trouble he had coming up with the right things to say, he decided on writing a letter. This way he could make sure everything was perfect and he could start over again if he didn´t like the result.

As he was going about his duties as the housekeeper of the Kamisato Clan he nearly forgot about the letter until he turned in for the night. The blond had already taken off his red jacket when he found his desk exceptionally letter-less. But he wasn´t going to panic yet. Checking his drawer, underneath the desk and every inch of the floor he still came up empty-handed. Thoma decided that now was a good time to grow concerned.

He was about to search for someone who might know something but didn´t make it very far. Ayato was just passing through the hallway as Thoma left his room and seemed to notice his friend´s distressed expression.

“Thoma? What´s the matter?”

“Oh, it´s nothing, really. I was just searching for something,” Thoma said, contemplating whether or not to ask if he happened to know anything. “Sir, by any chance, do you know if someone went around collecting paperwork that needed to be sent out?”

“Oh, is this about the letter on your desk? Since the seal and address were already on it one of the staff members collected it and sent it together with my mail this afternoon.“ Ayato could probably see his face drop at that piece of information. “I´m sorry, Thoma. I know you´re always very busy, so I assumed you didn´t have the time to send it out yourself and asked her to deliver it for you.”

“No, no, Sir, you don´t have to apologise. It´s fine. I was just a bit shocked to see it wasn´t there anymore.” He gave a small bow before turning back to his room. “Have a good night, Sir, and rest well.”

“Thank you. You should get some rest as well. And Thoma, again, my apologies.”

You twirled the beautiful letter between your fingers, still in disbelieve something this elegant would be addressed to you. Although considering the Kamisato Clan´s crest adorning the golden wax seal, which you dared not break yet, your surprise lessened the slightest smidge.

Then again, what could the Kamisatos possibly want from you? Hopefully, it wasn´t on the Yashiro Commission´s behalf. As you inspected the graceful lettering of your name on the envelope again, however, you doubted this was business-related. Whoever sent you this letter had put great effort into perfecting each and every letter, nothing a commission official would do. In the back of your mind, a small seed of hope started to grow that a certain someone over at the Kamisato residence had sent the note.

Finally, your curiosity got the better of your nerves and you carefully pulled the letter open. Again, the paper was of the highest quality, a beautiful flower pattern stamped into it. You unfolded it with cautious fingers and were immediately awed by the neat handwriting. Just from looks alone, your heart fluttered, moved by the thought of someone putting this much effort into something given to you. By this point, it was all too clear this wasn´t sent on official business but rather on a personal notion.

Dear (y/n),

Are you surprised to receive a letter from me? I´d bet you are. Well, that is if I actually find the courage to give this to you. You´re probably wondering what this is all about, right? To be quite honest, I would´ve much preferred to say this to you in person but the truth of the matter is that I simply couldn´t and, considering how often I have rewritten this letter, maybe it was the right choice.

(Y/n), I´ve been meaning to confess this to you for a long time now. I can´t deny the feelings I developed for you and whenever we spent time together and you smile at me so sweetly, I don´t think I want to, anymore. And I think you deserve to know how I truly feel about you.

At first, I was scared to risk our friendship and lose you entirely. The longer I waited, however, the more I regretted my decision and thoughts of “what if” started to fill my head. From how I see things now, I think I stand to gain so much if I take the leap that I can´t ignore it anymore.

I like you, (y/n).

As much as I hope you feel the same, please stay true to your own heart and take your time to form a reply. The last thing I want to do is coerce you into a situation you feel uncomfortable in.

While I await your answer, please take care.

With love,

Thoma

If your heart fluttered before, it was positively racing now. It was a good thing nobody could see you clutching the letter to your chest and giddily jumping around like a little child, your grin so wide your cheeks started to hurt.

Without a second of hesitation, you pulled on your shoes and your coat, grabbing your keys as you went, before rushing out the front door. You would´ve written a letter back but it would take some time to reach the Kamisato Estate and you were far too energetic to sit down right now. Besides, your mind was racing a mile a minute, there was no chance you´d be able to come up with enough coherent sentences anyway.

By the time the grand building came into view, you were sure you set a new record on the time needed to reach the Kamisato Estate, yet, you didn´t feel tired at all. You´d been here a couple of times before, so when you explained the reason for your visit to the guards, they let you pass soon enough, even if you were only allowed into the yard.  As luck would have it, you spotted a familiar mop of blond hair tending to some pine trees around the garden.

“THOMA!” Said man barely held on to his garden scissors as your excited shout startled the ever-living abyss out of him. He wasn´t an idiot, he knew why you were here, he´d spent the last days agonising about this very moment, after all.  As you crossed the yard, he regained his composure enough to put on a calm smile.

“(Y/n), what a surprise,” he said, taking in your dishevelled clothes and your chest heaving as you caught your breath. “Wait, did you run all the way up here?!”

“Partly, yes,” you chuckled. “But I couldn´t help myself, not after reading this.”

You pulled out the letter and normally would have laughed at the size Thoma´s eyes had taken on and how he tried to conceal it.

“(Y/n), listen-“

“No, Thoma, you listen. Before you start on this nonsense on how it´s okay if I don´t reciprocate your feelings, let me just say this.” You took a deep breath, eyes trained on his as you failed to contain your smile. “I like you, too, you idiot. And I won´t leave any room for you to think anything else is the truth. You´ve made me the happiest person in Teyvat today.”

This time, Thoma dropped the scissors for good in favour of engulfing you in the warmth of his hug. From how close he was, you were hyperaware of everything that was him; his heartbeat, the scent of freshly brewed tea and pinewood, the soft fabric underneath your fingertips. Everything was so familiar, yet lovingly different all the same.

“While I´m truly flattered by you saying this, I have to call you out on a little lie there.” You lifted your head and peered curiously at him. “There can only be one person in Teyvat who´s happiest right now and that´s clearly me.”

There was no stopping the laughter bubbling out of you at his cheesiness and the sound alone was enough for Thoma to fall for you all over again. His hand moved to cup your face as his thumb gently traced your cheekbone, nothing but fondness swirling in those beautiful eyes of his.

“Let´s see if I can find you some tea and pastries, you must be quite exhausted after rushing here. I wouldn´t mind having you keep me company as I work and I´m sure Miss Kamisato would be delighted to catch up with you, my dear.”

GOROU

Shy bean, absolutely pure

Gorou will be adorably red in the face, his ears are shooting up and twitching and he´s tripping over his words trying to explain himself

He might be an accomplished general on the battlefield but navigating his own feelings is completely new territory for him

Rather dejectedly and somewhat ashamed, he owns up the confession and then apologises, thinking he did something wrong and crossed your boundaries

If you reciprocate his feelings, please tell him immediately and put him out of his misery; his expression will make a 180, tail wagging and all

Stretching your arms over your head, you felt a sense of comfort when some of the tension in your shoulders was relieved and you took it as a sign to take a break, maybe move your legs around a little too.

As you wandered along the streets of Inazuma City an idea came to you. It had been a while since you visited Komore Tea House, stopping by again surely wouldn´t hurt. While climbing the seemingly endless flight of stairs, you marvelled at the change of seasons clearly visible throughout the city.

The streets were much livelier, too. Now that the Vision Hunt decree and the Sakoku decree had been abolished, tourists and returning soldiers bustled around, chatting with vendors or catching up with those they hadn´t seen in a while. A small part of you hoped to spot a certain pair of fluffy ears among those wearing the resistance uniforms.

You´ve known Gorou for quite a while already, the two of you went back way before there was even the faintest notion of war breaking out. So, when the time came for him to be stationed at Watatsumi Island for an indefinite amount of time, a weight seemed to settle over your heart.

As time passed and weeks turned to months and months turned into a year, you started to question why his absence made you feel this empty. After all, you still exchanged letters as frequently as the situation allowed for but it wasn´t really enough and only amplified the want to see him again. One day it dawned on you that maybe you saw Gorou as more than just a friend. While you rejected the idea at first, the hopeful glances you sent around the harbour the first day a ship from Watatsumi Island docked at the pier and your subsequent disappointment at not finding the general among the troupes made you rethink your feelings.

But, sometimes, the universe apparently did listen.

Komore Teahouse came into view and you contemplated what you´d order this day as you stopped in the entryway where you´d normally be greeted by Taroumaru. But the Shiba Inu was nowhere to be seen. Instead, excited barking could be heard from the room over, followed by a defeated sigh.

“I told you already, it´s not that easy.” Gorou´s voice made your heart almost leap out of your chest and although it made you feel a little guilty, you didn´t move from your spot. “First of all, I don´t even know if they like me back. What if I misinterpreted their words? Don´t give me that look, it´s a reasonable possibility!”

Taroumaru gave a very deadpan bark as a response, meanwhile, you were processing Gorou´s words. Did he like someone? You weren´t going to jump to conclusions just from this alone, yet, you couldn´t quite suppress the hope bubbling to the surface. What if it was you he was talking about?

“No, I can´t just do that! What if I make them uncomfortable? We haven´t seen each other in a while, after all.” Well, you checked that box at least. Taroumaru seemingly had something insightful to share. “Hmm, yeah, that might be a good idea. I´ll consider it, even though the very thought of bringing this up with them makes my hair stand on end.”

Deciding to stop violating your friend´s privacy, you went and shut the front door again, this time as noisy as possible. The conversation in the adjacent room subsided and a couple seconds later the Shiba Inu rounded the corner. As he spotted you, his calm demeanour melted into an excited one, tail wagging while he jumped around your feet.

“Hi, Taroumaru, did you miss me that much? I´m sorry I couldn´t stop by more often,” you said, leaning down to gently pet his soft head.

“(Y/n)?!” The shocked general had barely time to realise you were actually there before you had already flung your entire weight against him. His time in the resistance seemingly paid off because he managed to catch you without both of you toppling over.

“Gorou! You´re finally back! I missed you! And I was really worried, too!” Your laughter must have had a contagious effect because you could feel his chuckle against your chest. Yet, as he sat you back down on your feet, the blush painting his cheeks a lovely rose shade was hard to miss.

“I-I missed you, too. And I´m sorry I had you concerned but it was worth it in the end, wasn´t it?” Gorou´s face slowly returned to its original colour, however, the heat flared up again as you showered him with praises on how proud of him you were. You didn´t bring up how his fluffy tail was wagging up a storm in response.

To your feet, Taroumaru was growing restless which was rather unusual for him. When Gorou was fiddling with his hands for too long and looking away from you one too many times, the Shiba started tugging at the hem of his pants.

“Taroumaru? Is something wrong?” The dog in question stared up at Gorou expectantly.  “You understand him, right? Do you know what´s up?”

“Huh? Oh, well, yes, I guess I know…” He sighed heavily. “(Y/n), would you come with me for a second?”

Containing the butterflies in your stomach was quite the task, yet, you didn´t want to raise your expectations too high just to have them crashing down around you. You followed your friend outside and into the shade of a tree near Komore Teahouse. By now, your assumption was almost certain to be correct. Gorou´s ears were twitching relentlessly, a clear sign he was nervous about something. And, as someone who had known him as a normal boy and not a fierce general first, you knew there were few things that could fluster him to this extent. He inhaled deeply again before turning to face you.

“(Y/n), I didn´t think I´d be having this conversation with you now, to be honest, and I really hope you won´t be upset by this. But there´s something I´ve been meaning to tell you for a while now, something I should´ve told you already.” Hesitantly, he reached for your hand, his ears perking up once you held on tighter and gave a little squeeze. “When I said I missed you, I meant it. While I was away, I couldn´t stop thinking about you…Nothing weird, I promise! But I wondered what you could´ve been doing at that moment or if you wanted to see me just as much as I wanted to see you. I´m not an expert on these things but even I realised that what I´m feeling goes beyond what you´d feel for a normal friend. I guess, what I want to say is, I like you, (y/n).”

You clasped your free hand around your intertwined ones, coaxing him to look at you again. There was the same hopeful glint in his turquoise eyes you recognized from your own heart, his whole attention trained on you now.

“Oh Gorou, how could I be upset when you said exactly what I wanted to hear? I´ve come to the same realisation. So many times, I thought about bringing it up in a letter but I didn´t want to add any more pressure on you. I´m somewhat regretting being so considerate now though,” you teased. You flung your arms around his neck again as he picked you up and twirled you around. “I´m so happy right now, I can barely describe it!”

“You just made me the happiest man alive, (y/n),” he laughed.

“I can see that.” Your eyes crinkled in amusement as you ran a hand through his ginger locks to where his ears had started flicking again as his tail rhythmically thumped against the bark of the tree.
