SFW | soft hcs how they tell you they like you for the first time with: childe, scaramouche, kazuha

cw: mentions of alcohol in the scaramouche’s part / ‘drunk’ reader, mentions of sex in kazuha’s and there’s a little plus in his part!

✰ CHILDE

› childe never intended to tell you. so of course the way it happened was beyond his own control

› you guys have been friends for a while and he just.. didn’t wanna ruin it yk

› but seeing you all cheerful and rambling about that stupid guy was hitting his nerves

⸻

if it weren’t for that clock behind you ticking every second, the silence growing would’ve been deadly.

childe was standing in front of you, his brows furrowed and his arms crossed against his chest. ‘w-hat did you just say ?’ you asked for him to confirm the words he just spoke; but in reality you heard it well.

‘i said, stop talking about that guy. fuck. there’s not even a single conversation we have without him getting involved now it’s fucking annoying.’

you gulped. you didn’t actually understand why he would be so mad when he could’ve just told you from the start you were annoying him.

it wasn’t like your friendship was new. he always told you when something wasn’t okay with him; so why was he almost yelling at you now.

you looked away, and you felt your cheeks burn in embarrassment. surely no one would’ve felt comfortable after that.

‘what is it ? you don’t have a conversation subject beside him ?’ he added. now he was getting irritating.

most of the time you managed to deal with childe’s mood changing, but right now, you felt like something would break between you two if you stayed here one more minute; so you took your stuff and simply went away.

no word nor gaze were addressed to him as you passed by his apartment’s door.

your stoic face despite hearing his reproaches only broke when feeling a hand seizing your wrist. you turned around, brows furrowed, only to find a pretty sad looking childe.

‘don’t leave me y/n.’ he said, his eyes looking down.

‘i’m not. you’ve been mean that’s all. i won’t deal with this any longer but im not leaving you, cut the dramatic shit already.’ you coldly replied, freeing your hand from his grip but as you were about to turn your back on him to keep walking away, he hugged you from behind.

your heart started beating faster. never once have the two of you been this close before and now he was resting on your shoulders, breathing against your skin.

‘i- i need you y/n. i can’t let you go with him.’

you took a long breath, and only now did you realize you had been holding it the whole time since he touched you. ‘what do you mean ?’

you knew what he meant. you just couldn’t realize it yet as if you needed him to use other words.

‘i love you.’ he said ‘i can’t bear it, to see you with someone else, i can’t’

there. he said it. you kinda had a strange feeling about the way he rolled up his eyes when you talked about your date. or the way he sighed while looking at his phone. you thought he was uninterested in your life.

but now that he finally confessed. all you could do was look away and think back of the times you could’ve understood it, and mentally scold yourself for not seeing it earlier.

✰ SCARAMOUCHE

› scaramouche is impulsive as fuck, so ofc his love confession wasn’t going to be something other than messy.

› he had been liking you for a while now, but as confident as he liked to think he was, he was actually terrified of his feeling being unrequited which is why he kept it to himself

› you were out with some other friends and had drank a little bit when his visit surprised you

⸻

your vision was all blurry when you and your other friends just got out of the nightclub.

‘it smells weird doesn’t it ?’ you asked them, but the only answers you got was them shrugging at you before kissing again. you looked away, sighing when realizing it would be another night of you third wheeling your friends.

you walked away from them, sitting on the first bench you found and just when you went to check your phone did you notice that the battery was dead.

you rubbed your face with your two hands before hearing a familiar voice calling out for you.

‘y/n !’ he shouted, and just when you took your hands off your face, did you see your best friend you left a few hours ago, just before going to the club.

the smile growing on your face got quickly erased when you’ve seen his expression. obviously, the man wasn’t quite happy about something and knowing him, he wouldn’t spare you.

‘are you fucking deaf ? i’ve been calling you multiple times.’ he aggressively asked.

you took out your phone from your pocket, handing it out to him expecting him to calm himself down after seeing that you had no battery. but it got worse actually.

he clenched his fists, giving you back your phone and almost throwing it at you. ‘i was fucking worried about you, there was a fire incident not so far away. i’ve walked all the way here to check if you were okay only because you’re too dumb to charge your phone before going out. fuck.’

he sat next to you, and heaved a long sigh before looking at you. your hair were messy. you didn’t smell good at all, and you had drank so much it could be seen only by looking into your eyes. but somehow he appreciated the sight.

he pulled some of your bangs behind your ears, allowing him to see your entire face.

‘why are you so fucking dumb ?’

‘and why are you so fucking annoying ? jeez, are you forced to act like that.’

‘act like what ?’

‘like my fucking boyfriend.’ you yelled back at him before bursting out in laughter. ‘look at you walking all the way down here for me, that’s pathetic, even for you.’ you said. your words were cruel, but it did not pain scaramouche.

and after he repeated many times what a dumbass you were, you thought it was okay to make fun of him too. little did you know, you actually hit a sensitive point.

only when he looked back at you without arguing back did you started to ask yourself why.

‘kuni.’ you only said, and to that he only replied with your name too. ‘don’t tell me you-’ you started, but didn’t manage to finish your sentence.

he got up from the bench, and started agitating himself, moving his hands as he talked, as if finally letting go something he had in his mind for a long time.

‘what if i like you y/n ? me ? pathetic ? look at you. you got alcohol on your hair, you smell like vodka and wine at the same time it’s suffocating. you can’t walk straight, and your voice is broken. you’ve got some nerves to talk to me like that. yes i walked all the way down here, and for what ? only to find my friend acting like a vulgar drunkard ? hell, i would’ve preferred to be in my bed right now. but i came for you, even though i wasn’t even sure to find you there, i came here because i like you and god knows why because i fucking don’t get it.’

to that monologue you only laughed. he blushed but you couldn’t see it as it was dark in the area you were in. ‘you’re a romantic one kuni.’ you kept on laughing

‘shut up.’

‘carry me home ?’ you tried requesting

‘hell no. you do you.’

only after a while did he finally accept to carry you on his back until your house. perhaps his confession was surprising and perhaps it wasn’t the best, but it was exactly like scaramouche and you never needed more than the sincerity he showed you tonight.

✰ KAZUHA

› kazuha is not shy about his own feelings, so you often talked about each other’s emotions together

› he didn’t think it’d be so hard to tell you about his love for you. perhaps he feared to ruin the bond you had created

› but he couldn’t take the risk to lose you to someone else only because he feared to face his own feelings, so he thought about how to tell you for a while and it suddenly came to him like a flash

⸻

kazuha and you had been planning that night for a while now. you specifically chose the movies you wanted to see, together so that the two of you appreciate the night.

but somehow, kazuha didn’t seem really focused on the movie. not that he was one to comment a movie, but usually when you did comment some things from time to time during it, he would chuckle or reply something.

but nothing. it was as if you were watching the movies alone.

‘kazu ?’ you asked ,looking at him instead of the screen, trying to see if he was with you.

he only hummed, his eyes glued to the screen as if he didn’t realize you, were looking at him now.

‘do you like the movie ? cause you don’t seem to be into it.’ you asked.

‘i’m hungry that’s all. coming back right away.’ your head was on his lap, and he gently moved it to the pillow he was resting his own head on, standing up from the couch the two of you had been spending the beginning of the night on.

he went towards the kitchen, turning on the lights while choosing something.

he wasn’t really hungry, but he couldn’t find a moment to tell you about his feels. an internal monologue about what to do and what to say was taking place in his mind, and in the end, he joined you without bringing any food at all.

‘weren’t you hungry ?’ you asked as he sat back next to you.

he smiled at you before tapping gently on his thighs inviting you to put your head back on it. ‘i ate something in the kitchen it’s all good now.’

‘and you brought nothing to me ? hmph.’ you fainted a pouting face before looking back at the television.

he was overthinking your words. could he be bold enough to suggest he could kiss you to give you a taste of what he had in his mouth ? he wouldn’t dare.

he didn’t even find words to say, how could he ever say such flirty things.

meanwhile, you had clicked the resume button and the movie was now playing in front of your eyes. multiple colors reflecting on the white walls of kazuha’s living room.

just when a sex scene occurred in the movie did the two of you chuckled. you weren’t teenagers anymore but there was still something special about watching these scenes with someone.

the scene seemed like it would never end, starting to make you a bit uncomfortable.

‘it seemed like it would never end huh?’

‘indeed’ kazuha giggled nervously.

the rest of the movie played and when the ending came, the two of you agreed to go to sleep.

only when you were about to sleep right next to each other on kazuha’s couch, did he decide to speak up.

you were about to fall asleep when he spoke, almost making you jump.

‘can you sleep into my arms ?’ he asked.

of course you weren’t going to deny his request. kazuha smelt good. great even. his semi long hair were soft and when you agreed and slipped yourself into his arms you wrapped your arms around his chest, playing with his red strand of hairs

‘i like you y/n’ he suddenly said. you stopped all movement, as if you didn’t hear correctly. but he spoke up again. ‘i’m gonna kiss you now.’

you couldn’t say you didn’t see it coming but it was still really surprising. in a good way of course. spending the rest of the night glued to his warm body while he was kissing you, felt like the most comforting place ever and you wished there was no end to that night.

when they are angry hcs

authors note ⊱ THESE ARENT DIRECTED @ READER BTW! so if ur like me and have trauma w people being aggressive or raising their voices or smth,,, fear not. this is not directed at their s/o or reader specifically!! INSTEAD, imagine comforting them when theyre angry and they just melt into ur arms a little ok??? ok awesome

characters ⊱ albedo, diluc, childe, kaeya

warnings ⊱ anger? i guess?

rating ⊱ sfw

diluc

he’s very slow to anger, and his expression is indecipherable enough that no one truly notices unless you know him: his fists clench a little tighter, his tone becomes a hint more clipped than usual, his eyebrows knit together into a harsh, intimidating line

mostly just gets frustrated and starts pacing, letting out very aggressive, deep sighs to try and calm himself (and only riling himself up again immediately after)

doesn’t pick fights, usually just walks away from situations or people that get him too worked up

however, if a person is committing an action that is entire immoral, or is a threat to those around them, or, it is directed at one of diluc’s loved ones, any sense of chivalry is gone

he’s on them like a wild animal, sneering through his teeth, and he doesn’t care about consequences

albedo

he isolates himself, becoming a little bitter about the situation, but keeping an air of mystery on how he feels if the perpetrator ever tried to confront him personally; he likes to pretend these things don’t get under his skin

has a distinctly less amount of patience than usual, however

might act a little colder if someone runs that very little patience too thin, to the point he could possibly even snap out or say something cruel

would mostly just prefer to be alone with his emotions at this time

lets out a lot of exasperated sighs if he thinks about it too much or if someone is pushing his buttons

childe

the most wrathful out of everyone here

lets out a lot of bitter, hollow laughs whenever he thinks about it

gets super tense, to the point he needs to work it out of his system, usually through some form of training, exercise, or battle; it gives him too much adrenaline and he’ll become very pent up and frustrated if it is left idle

might let out a growl through gritted teeth every now and then

clenches up his fists a lot and rolls his shoulders back, always with a very harsh grin and narrowed eyes

would definitely rile up anyone he doesn’t like when he’s angry, just to pick a fight or get his blood going

kaeya

if it’s with a person, he likes to just privately garner information about them, observing how they are feeling, and then basically picking apart their psyche in his head and laughing about it to himself while sipping some alcohol

he just thinks they’re sad and pathetic, really, and he revels in it

if it’s in battle, he gets a snarky grin and a wild look in his eyes, biting responses through harsh teeth and sneers

if it’s with a situation, or a set of circumstances, he just gets frustrated and annoyed, sneering a lot and having a disgruntled, revolted look on his face as he begrudgingly deals with it

his patience becomes a little thinner and he gets a little itchy with the sudden heat under his skin

most of the time he finds his anger to be funny, at first, like the person who’s poking at him is just a form of entertainment, a little fun. but then when it’s a bad day or a wrong move, it’s game over

I just think that sometimes Childe gets tired after a long day of work and lays on your stomach, snoozin' away peacefully

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

Now that I think about it, Childe probably got a lot of wrong impressions about what counts as Liyuean common knowledge merely because Zhongli was his consultant.

♡ SLEEPING with the genshin men ♡

featuring: albedo; ayato; childe; cyno; diluc; gorou; itto; kaeya; kazuha; thoma; tighnari; venti; xiao; zhongli tw: i say shit once, like a tiny bit suggestive in a couple of them if you squint type: pure fluff; established relationship; sfw pronouns used: none a/n: this idea has been rotting my brain since i thought of it before going to bed a few nights ago and now that i have time to burn i'm FINALLY writing it ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

under the cut for length ♡ it is long ♡

ALBEDO

horrible sleep schedule. is always telling you he'll be "just five more minutes" but you know he won't

he feels bad about it. some of his experiments are time sensitive! you remind him he could have started them tomorrow morning instead of eleven at night

once he does join you in bed, he can be a bit shy. you'll have to actively invite him to lay closer to you

once you do that, he feels totally comfortable!

albedo likes to be close to you, enjoying your body heat as much as he can.

sleeping with him is comfortable. he doesn't exude any heat, but he isn't cold, either - so no matter the weather, he's a good nap buddy

his favorite place to sleep is up on his lab in dragonspine, next to you, in a bed covered in furs and blankets so both of you can be completely tucked in. it's like a cocoon of comfort!

DILUC

cannot sleep without you next to him!!

he also often stays up late, but is easily convinced to come to bed. his work can often wait until morning and you are really in need of your favorite pillow

he sighs softly, gives you a quiet smile, and blows out his candle before pulling the covers back and sliding in next to you

diluc likes to hold you while you sleep. it makes him feel safe with you in his arms, held securely against his chest

usually you sleep facing each other with your nose a bit squished between his pecs, but i mean... are you complaining?

diluc is a heavy sleeper and doesn't wake up until either you get up or his natural rhythm wakes him up, usually midmorning.

he is not a morning person. it's going to take many kisses and some coffee to convince him to wake up all the way.

KAEYA

has a seven step skincare routine that he does WITH you before bed

it's a really sweet and intimate way to get in the sleepy time mood!

he's not one to take care of himself, but he does care about his appearance. so you two have this now.

kaeya likes to spoon you!

he has one draped lazily over your waist, the other curled up next to his head

he's a light sleeper! he shifts around a lot during the night, but whenever he does, he subconsciously will reach out for you

therefore, if you wake up in the middle of the night, it's a coin toss as to what position the two of you will be in. however, nine times out of ten, some part of him will be touching some part of you

sleepy kaeya brain says make sure you're with him and safe!

he wakes up early to report to the knights of favonius, though it's certainly not below him to indulge a few times a year week sleeping in next to you

i mean, how could he resist?

VENTI

little shit (affectionate)

this guy will not sleep until you DRAG him into bed and then he's whining the whole way. why would you go to bed when you could stay up singing and having fun!! what about board games!

and then the minute you finally get him to lay down next to you he's down for the count

venti is also a VERY affectionate guy. so while he sleeps he will cling onto you like a koala

he might drool on you just a little bit

he's a really heavy sleeper but he's also a bit of a kicker

he's fallen out of the bed while still gripping your arm in his sleep on multiple occasions.

sometimes, on rare nights, you'll wake up in the middle of the night to hear him softly humming something, still completely asleep.

CHILDE

as a fatui harbinger, he's out a lot

this means that he really does treasure the time he spends with you, especially at night

he's clingy.

childe will take any opportunity he can for skinship

probably sleeps in his underwear (⌒_⌒;)

he will spoon you, he will hold you against him, he will lay you on his chest

he needs to be touching you at all times. unfortunately, he can sometimes sweat.

he trained himself to be a light sleeper. nothing can sneak up on him, even while he's asleep. he's the perfect protection for his beloved partner!

he doesn't want to get up in the morning. you have to poke him and sometimes drag him o.ut of bed by his ankles.

he whines about it but he loves you. and soon enough he's dressed and on his way to work with a quick kiss goodbye.

XIAO

"adepti don't need sleep."

ok, well, it's more awkward when he's standing over your bed just watching you sleep

you have to beg him to either go somewhere else or join you

he doesn't want to leave you to sleep by yourself, unprotected... so he reluctantly agrees to lay down next to you

hm. actually, this is kind of nice.

xiao realizes that actually he is a little bit tired. a lot tired.

he awkwardly opens his arms for you to crawl into, and then once he hears your breathing slow down, he allows himself to close his eyes.

xiao sleeps like a log, for the first time in hundreds of years.

this becomes habit. when he isn't spending the night off hunting monsters, he joins you in bed and allows himself a few hours of rest.

ZHONGLI

nighttime is when zhongli allows himself to let go

he trusts you with everything, and therefore, as the two of you are getting ready for bed, while he's washing up, he lets his more draconic features show.

his tail appears, his arms take on a darker shade, bright golden veins just visible, and horns make their way to the top of his head

even his teeth shift, becoming just barely noticeably sharper and larger.

it's in these moments when you remember your lover is an ancient being and quite literally a god

zhongli's demeanor doesn't change, though. he's still a gentleman.

he situates himself in bed first, makes himself comfortable, picks up a book, and invites you to lay with him.

he'll stay up for a bit reading by candlelight with you next to him, until he finally gets tired, snuffs out the candle, places a soft kiss to your temple, and lays down next to you

he's another one that likes to hold you while you sleep.

SLEEPS LIKE A ROCK (literally). you swear sometimes it's like his body temporarily turns to stone.

zhongli's body sleeps on a schedule, so he wakes up at the same time every morning to prepare for work.

if you're still in bed by the time he has to leave, he'll leave a letter on his pillow and a kiss on your head before he goes.

AYATO

the evening is his favorite time of day

(the time when it finally comes to an end)

as the yashiro commissioner, he's busy most of the day, and doesn't often have time to spend with you. while he's around, he can't devote much of his attention to you, which he sincerely regrets.

so nights with him are when he shows you just how much he loves you.

he makes sure you're comfortable and helps you get ready for bed, a routine which includes many many kisses and a few apologies for being busy all the time (you understand, and he knows this, but he likes to make sure you know he still loves you)

ayato likes to hold hands while you sleep. there's something so intimate about it that he's such a sucker for.

he doesn't sleep really lightly or heavily, just sort of in the middle. he wakes up to shift his position a few times a night but that's it.

he's also a sucker for being close to you. you'll wake up learning that at some point in the night, ayato has pulled you much closer to him than you were when you originally went to bed.

he has to wake up early, but he hates it. he leaves a quick kiss on your head before he gets up for work, and will check in with you throughout the day, too.

GOROU

loves sleeping with you but denies it

he NEEDS to be holding you while you sleep. ever since the incident with yae miko, he's trying to break the embarrassing habit of sleeping with his tail in his arms, and he figures you're the perfect replacement!

light sleeper and twitches in his sleep, a bit like dogs when they dream. it's adorable

subconsciously pulls you closer to him while he's asleep, too. having you near him is comforting.

he's incredibly warm! and his tail is SO fluffy. you might want to sleep on opposite sides of the bed during hot weather.

he hates this though, and you'll probably wake up in his arms. he'll deny moving you and say it must have been you who craved his hugs, not the other way around.

ITTO

BIG BAN BIG MAN

he's such an affectionate guy too. just be careful of the horns

his favorite position to sleep in is on his back with you on his chest. he WILL trap you with his arms

doesn't mean to trap you. but he's just so big and strong... it just kind of happens!

snores. it's annoying but endearing. he doesn't even know he's doing it

when he snores, the bridge of his nose will scrunch and it'll look a bit like he's snarling. sometimes his huge teeth come out

he's big, so he also exudes a lot of heat. however, unlike gorou, he won't even let you sleep on the other side of the bed

he Will hold you. there is no escape. he sleeps really soundly and pretty much doesn't move an inch all night.

itto is not a morning person. you have to shake him awake and then he whines about it.

KAZUHA

A SWEETHEART

he helps you get ready for bed and then tucks you in and everything <33

actually kazuha really likes to sing you to sleep or recite a poem for you before bed!

won't overtly cuddle you unless you ask for it, but is never opposed to it!

he's just not really sure how to handle it sometimes, so he just kind of keeps to himself unless either of you are feeling particularly affectionate

as time passes, he becomes more confident, and needs more and more cuddles.

kazuha is a light sleeper, but is quiet and careful enough never to wake you up when he does in the middle of the night.

he likes to wake up at the same time as you, so if he wakes up first, he waits for you before starting his day.

THOMA

warm warm warm warm

when it's cold out, he's the perfect bedtime buddy. when it's warm, you two sleep on opposite sides of the bed with pinkies intertwined in the middle

like kaeya, he likes to wash up thoroughly before bed. sometimes he even does his hair so it'll look nicer when he wakes up

on nights when it's warm, somehow, in the middle of the night, despite starting on opposite ends of the bed from one another, you'll find that you gravitated towards each other and met in the middle.

he laughs and apologizes and offers to sleep somewhere else. you refuse and hug him even closer

thoma really loves physical affection while sleeping

his favorite is sleeping facing each other, and sometimes you two find yourselves staying up until the early hours of the morning talking until he realizes it's one am and he has work tomorrow.

always leaves you a kiss and a note before he leaves to tend to the kamisatos. and of course you're always welcome to visit!

CYNO

very awkward about sleeping with you

he's just nervous! you have to reassure him you're comfortable around him and would, in fact, prefer he sleep next to you comfortably than on the floor.

it takes him a while to warm up to the idea, and starts off very stiff, but over time, he learns that in fact, he sleeps much better when you're there with him.

cyno sleeps deeply, and doesn't shift much throughout the night. you could probably use him as a pillow if you wanted, he wouldn't object.

he likes when you sleep on his chest the most. the pressure of you being on him is very comforting and he likes having his arms around you.

he calls himself your "general mahamattress," and proceeds to overexplain even though the joke is rather clear. he's very sweet about it.

TIGHNARI

sleeping near a loved one is good for your brain!!! there's science to back it up!! probably!!

snuggles you like a koala when you sleep together. there's no escaping tighnari's grip of death.

before he discovered sleeping next to you, it was pretty difficult for him to get to sleep on time.

therefore, in case it's a rough night, he has a bunch of herb remedies for insomnia that are tried and true, his own recipes

he's found that a dab of sweet smelling flower dew on your forehead helps with sweet dreams, and while you're sleeping with him, you rarely have nightmares.

tighnari and his bushy tail are here with you to chase away the monsters!!

he's a forest ranger and a fox. and he gets up when he WANTS. do not try to drag him out of bed you will be (gently) bitten.

also twitches in his sleep. creacher. you know how it is with animals.

basically a gigantic cuddle bug, and pretty much willing to admit it.

Genshin men Instagram HCs

Ft. Xiao; Scaramouche; Zhongli; Childe; Alhaitham; Kaveh; Tighnari

(gender neutral reader but wears a dress in Scara & Zhongli's parts)

Xiao // @ a1atus

★ ★ pre-relationship ★ ★

Very rarely posts

Never pictures of himself, you’ll only see his face in tagged photos

If he does post, it’s probably a new album cover of a band he likes, a particularly good plate of almond tofu from his favorite café, or—if he’s in a particularly good mood—a cute stray cat that befriended him on the street

Never edits anything but still takes pretty decent photos because he understands basic composition rules

Never tags anything but will sometimes write simple captions like “new guitar”

His pfp has not changed since he made his account and its literally just the blandest selfie you’ve ever seen—but he’s effortlessly photogenic so even when he’s just staring at the camera with a blank expression he looks hot

★ ★ in a relationship ★ ★

Xiao will unintentionally do his loyal boyfriend duties and like all of your posts but he never actually leaves a comment unless you specifically ask him to but you have to tell him what to say or else you’ll just get something like “your hair is nice” LOL

Maybe makes one post related to you but it doesn’t have your face—just picture of your hands holding each other or a photo he secretly took of you from behind as you admire some paintings from when he took you on an art gallery date

Still doesn’t write much in captions but if the post includes you, he always adds a little black heart emoji 🖤

Scaramouche // @ balladeer

★ ★ pre-relationship ★ ★

Vehemently claims he’s not chronically online but he definitely is

Def has a dark / emo aesthetic profile and puts more effort into it than he’d ever admit

Uses stories pretty frequently

Usually to show off his game stats and victories or to vent about some annoying inconvenience that's just happened to him

balladeer Jfc the train is late again I may as well just walk home everyday ffs

All his late night gaming photos are so highly saturated in his pitch black bedroom, the only source of light being his screen on max brightness and his violet RGB keyboard. If you raise the screen brightness on your phone you might be able to make out some empty Monster cans and ramen cups on his desk—he absolutely gives Discord / Reddit mod vibes 🤢

Definitely has a story archive just for Valorant 🤮

I wanna fuck him so bad it makes me look stupid—

Posts a few selfies to show a new piercing or the very rare occasion where he’s feeling really confident in his looks

unintentionally thirst traps the emo boy lovers; yes, I am talking about you and I—

Lightly edits photos or uses filters to make them look good but nothing extreme or super aesthetic, mostly just for decent contrast

Usually the first one to see any of his friends posts but never ‘likes’ them

Will leave snarky or sarcastic comments when the mood strikes tho

His pfp is a candid picture someone else took that he thinks he looks decent in—sticking his tongue out and giving double middle fingers to the camera

★ ★ in a relationship ★ ★

Makes a post or story for every date you guys have, even if it’s just a vague picture of your shoes together

He likes to show off that he has such an attractive s/o but also lowkey just wants to have a memory to look back on for the nights he feels lonely

Doesn’t post just you though, he’s always in frame holding you or touching you in some way—he feels the need to put some sort of claim cause he thinks people are gonna shoot their shot with you—he’s kinda paranoid and insecure, pls have patience w him

Likes and comments on all of your posts. Sometimes it's a snarky quip like if you post about you and your friends doing something funny he might comment “lmao ur so dumb” but if its a selfie or something you’re proud of, he leaves a little compliment and heart emoji.

YN0103 [bedroom mirror selfie of you shyly posing in a dress]

YN0103 Bought a new dress today…it’s not my usual style but I rlly like it 🥺

balladeer cute 💜

If anyone ever confronts him in person about his nice comments on your posts tho he’ll get flustered and claim his account was temporarily hacked LOL

His heart def flutters when you post a picture of him on your own account

He kinda can’t believe you’re proud enough of him to publicly post about him

Changes his pfp to the two of you together and, if you zoom in and squint, you can tell he’s kind of smiling <3

Zhongli // @ rex_lapis

★ ★ pre-relationship ★ ★

I’m sorry but I have to do it…

He has Facebook grandpa vibes

Like he has no idea how to use half of the features; stories are an absolute mystery to him. What is a reel?

But he tries to be supportive of his friends and will leave way-too eloquent comments with a Wikipedia levels of supplemental information

a1atus new guitar

rex_lapis Lovely new instrument, Xiao. You seem to have quite good tastes – that particular model is popular among many professional musicians. It is well renowned for its clear sound and beautiful mahogany exterior. If you wouldn’t mind, I would love to hear you play it someday over tea.

a1atus @ rex_lapis thanks

the way I cackled writing that exchange ygweyufgwyu Xiaos just like ‘thanks for commenting dad’

His pfp is not him—it’s probably a famous painting he likes or a beautiful white flower from a garden he visited

★ ★ in a relationship ★ ★

If you want him to improve his Insta game, you’re going to have to teach him, I’m sorry

On the up side, Zhongli is a great student and is eager to learn anything you teach him

Will try to post pretty regularly; usually somewhat mediocre photos of beautiful scenery like sunsets and flowers

Like Scaramouche, he enjoys the idea of documentary your time together so he posts something at the end of each of your dates

Your heart lowkey melts when Zhongli, very earnestly, asks after dinner if you’ll allow him to take a selfie with you to post on his Instagram

Regularly asks for feedback on his posts to ensure he’s properly taking your advice and improving :,)

He even starts organizing and naming story archives on his profile—simple titles like “tea,” “nature,” “friends,” and “my dearest”

Likes and comments on every single one of your posts and replies to all of your stories, even if he was there with you

Usually just lathers you in compliments on your beauty or tastes but they’re so thoughtfully written that it’s obvious he’s not “just saying it” and genuinely believes all the kind things about you he writes

YN1231 [photo of you twirling in a summer dress amidst a colorful of bed of flowers in a botanical garden, take by your friend]

YN1231 It’s finally starting to feel like spring! 🌸🌼🌺

rex_lapis While the camelias are lovely, they pale in comparison to your radiance. Your yellow sundress is also quite lovely and compliments your complexion in the morning sunlight. Truly a divine sight.

balladeer @ YN1231 @ rex_lapis ugh can you guys keep it in the DMs

- Changes his pfp to a selfie of himself smiling after you told him he should. The angle is a little odd but he’s so naturally attractive that he still manages to look good.

Ajax // @ tartaglia_on_top

★ ★ pre-relationship ★ ★

Doesn’t post too often but when he does, it kinda gives stereotypical frat boy

Like, lots of parties and shirtless beach photos with his friends

The surprise is the occasional posts of his little siblings and kids he volunteers with in between

He sometimes posts championship and practice photos from his martial arts competitions with captions thanking his team and mentors

Is pretty popular—has a few thousand followers, many are people he met just once or twice at parties or genuine friends and classmates, but the vast majority are online fans who just follow cause he’s hot LOL

Is the type of person you followed once after meeting a long time ago and never talk to again but you can’t bring yourself to unfollow cause he’s nice and his updates are kinda interesting and he’s hot

Isn’t online that much so he doesn’t like/comment on his friends’ every post but usually tries to leave congratulatory messages when someone accomplishes something or graduates

His pfp is a closeup of himself with a boyish grin he cropped from a group photo

★ ★ in a relationship ★ ★

It is super obvious when you guys start dating cause almost every post from that point is about you in some way LOL

tartaglia_on_top [photo of Ajax, sweaty and exhausted but clearly excited as he holds a trophy in one hand with the other wrapped around your waist while he presses a kiss to your cheek]

tartaglia_on_top Officially a 3 year championship winner! Thanks to my biggest supporter @ YN0720 😘

He’s not even consciously trying to post you all the time, it just happens because you are either always together or any memorable moment he thinks are worth an Insta post involve you in some way

You’re the only person, aside from his family - that he actually likes/comments on all posts for

Is the type of boyfriend to leave those super dramatic, embarrassing comments on your selfies like “DAAAMN BABE 🥵 finna make me act UP” and, in one particularly shameless case, “god youre so hot pls step on me queen 😍”

Please block him

He shamelessly liked all your past posts from before you too met as well—you were kinda mortified to wake up one morning to a notification that just said “what a lil cutie ❤️” on a post of yourself from seventh grade.

Changes his pfp to a couple selfie he took of the two of you kissing on a winter vacation in the mountains

Kaveh // @ kaveh.designs

★ ★ pre-relationship ★ ★

Obsessed with having an aesthetic profile

Like, the color palette of the background and clothing in his pfp selfie are carefully matched with the cover of each of his story archives, down to the hex code

He carefully edits every post and uses filters to make them all fit with his theme no matter how inaccurate to real life they may become

“Huh…I thought your bedroom wall was a bit more orange than this…”

“Oh, that’s cause I use 30% Juno in all my bedroom photos for a warmer finish.”

“???”

Despite his aesthetic profile, he doesn’t come off as particularly vain or narcissistic—only posts selfies when he’s has a particularly good hair day or changed his accessories

Most of his posts are of places he travels to (museums and big cities with interesting architecture) or his own sketches and rendered design projects

Online pretty frequently, always checks insta when he wakes up, before bed, and during lunch breaks

His stories are often project updates, interesting things he encounters throughout the day, or food photos

Only likes posts he actually likes and sometimes comments with photography critiques

tighnar1 [photo of a cluster of three bright blue mushrooms clustered against vibrant green grass and patches of dark, wet soil]

tighnar1 Proof the forest is an amazing place: found this beautiful little cluster of juvenile Rakkhashava mushrooms on my hike today. Great spotting by @ colleeei. Check my story for some cool mushroom facts. 🍄

kaveh.designs great photo composition, Tigh, perfect golden ratio on the caps.

tighnar1 @ kaveh.designs Thanks I guess…

Has a decent number of followers, many of whom are also artists familiar with Kaveh’s reputation from the Kshahrewar. Others just like his OOTD stories and charming smile

★ ★ in a relationship ★ ★

Kaveh revamps his entire profile once you two become official

His pfp becomes a candid taken by a stranger of the two of you together at an aquarium, holding hands as you point something out to him through the glass

It was taken by a photographer working at the aquarium as part of a promotion—the photographer showed you two the photo and asked for permission to post it on their official website and Kaveh was absolutely obsessed with the photo—it’s still one of his favorite and it doesn’t even show your faces

He still matches his archived story covers to his new pfp but his actual feed had become a lot more relaxed and natural now

He still slightly edits photos so they look as good as possible, but he doesn’t like using filters on photos of you or the two of you together because he thinks it would be a disservice to your natural beauty

Like Ajax, his posts and stories naturally become mostly about you whether scenes from your dates—candid photos he takes of you where he insists you look like art even though you’re just in pajamas with an unmade face—or even photos of things he sees throughout the day that remind him of you

Sometimes he posts stories of funny reels or art pieces he knows you’d like and tags you in them with messages like “@YN0709 omg remember when we were talking abt this?” and “me & @ YN0709💕”

Similar to Childe, leaves the most downbad, dramatic comments on your posts

YN0709 [swimsuit selfie]

YN0709 happy summer! ☀️🌊

kaveh.designs Oh my god my heart– 💘 I cannot believe I get to come home to this every night 👅💦

YN0709 @ kaveh.designs omg kaveh pls 💀

al_haitham @ kaveh.designs Every time I see one of your comments I regret ever learning how to read.

Alhaitham // @ al_haitham

★ ★ pre-relationship ★ ★

Only made an account so his friends would stop bothering him about not keeping up with things tbh

Checks his feed a few times a day but skips through stories if they’re too long/too many

Absolutely hates concert stories the most cause they’d loud, long, and filled with off-key drunken singing

Never likes or comments on anything unless it’s really interesting to him

Occasionally shares reels in his story that are like interesting history facts or official Akademiya announcements

Has a few posts (and only cause Kaveh would not shut up about it) but they’re mostly just pictures of book covers he’d just finished reading with a detailed review or literary analysis as the caption—but he’s mindful of avoiding spoilers for those who haven’t read it

However, he does have one post that stands out quite a bit

He posted an unintentional gym third trap because he just happened to be working out, as is routine, and thought it might be nice to share some tips on proper rope pushdown form

If you’re not a gym babe and don’t know what this is, I beg of you, please look up a gif or video and imagine Alhaitham doing this, shirtless. You’re welcome.

It has become his most popular post by far

His pfp is probably taken straight from his faculty ID card: plain background, bright lighting, neutral facial expression

★ ★ in a relationship ★ ★

After you two have become official and are pretty comfortably established in your relationship, he’ll post a photo of the two of you—probably one you took - with a simple caption like “Late night at Puspa Café with my favorite person 💚”

Everyone who knows him freaks out in the comments with variations of “omg hathie got an s/o???” and “wow he finally posted a normal pic of himself, y/n is a good influence” but he doesn’t reply to any of them lmao

If you use Instagram a lot, he’ll naturally become more active too because he enjoys learning more about what you like through your posts and stories

He likes all of your posts but never comments—if one of your posts interests him, he’d prefer to wait until he sees you later to ask you about it in person

He just wants an excuse to talk to you more

As he becomes more active, little bits and pieces of your relationship naturally infiltrate his feed

His latest book review post has your favorite mug in the background because the two of you had breakfast together

His informational story post of an antique Sumerian emerald he found at a street vendor is being modeled by your pretty hands because you were with him when he saw it and later given to you after the vendor insisted on Alhaitham gifting it to his “beautiful spouse”

He changes his profile picture to the two of you from one of your many reading dates, comfortably lounging on a loveseat in a quiet corner of the library—and this time, he’s softly smiling

Tighnari // @ t1ghnar1

Surprisingly active on social media

He thinks social media is a great way to share information about the importance of forest conservation and get people to appreciate the beauty of Avidya forest

Makes one post almost every day and multiple stories

Needless to say, 90% of his posts are of plants or small animals he finds on his hikes or while working

His most popular posts are those of cute squirrels and birds that are being nursed back to health after being found wounded—animals just seem to naturally love him so the pictures are usually taken by his coworkers because his arms are full with cuddly animals that refuse to move

The other 10% of his posts are from the occasional hang outs with friends or coworkers after work—snaps of iced fruit teas from Puspa café or colorful clay plates overflowing with Collei’s homemade pita pockets.

He makes sure to reply to or at least like every comment, particularly those from people asking questions about the plants he posts or how to become a forest ranger. Even simple “wow that's so cool” comments often get at least a “thanks, glad you liked it” from Tighnari

He tends to use some cute forest or food emoji when they fit with his posts. For example, 🍄,🥙,🦊,🐦, etc.

Also tends to use “:)” when replying to his followers because he knows it can be difficult to read tone in text-based communications

Tigh is basically a social media manager at this point oops

Because he is online so much, he naturally keeps up with almost everything his friends post and will like or comment on things he finds interesting

His pfp is a selfie of himself with a small yellow bird perched on his shoulder from one of his patrols

★ ★ in a relationship ★ ★

All Tighnaris written by me WILL follow the “fennec foxes mate for life” trope regardless of AU, it is an indisputable law of the universe

If you’re in a relationship with Tighnari, you should be prepared for stability and commitment in general

While he doesn’t go out of his way to make an official announcement post or anything like that, you become a regular feature on his page

Will tag you in anything you’re related to, unless you specifically ask him not to

t1ghnar1 [photo of a small, cream-colored fox brushing itself against Tighnari’s leg and looking up at the camera with large eyes]

t1ghnar1 On a walk with @ YN1229 this morning we spotted this cute little kit without her mom. 🦊 While adorable, foxes - even kits - are wild animals and should never be approached unless by professionals. We have informed the local animal control where she will be taken care of until we can locate her family. Photo by @ YN1229

He never outright announces you as his lover but he seems to spend so much time with you and refer to you so casually that his followers who don’t know him just assume you’re his spouse LOL

He doesn’t bother to correct them either :,)

bennie_boy Wow, that mountain is so high up - wasn’t ur spouse scared to go up there?

t1ghnar1 @ bennie_boy Y/n has been on so many trips like this with me that they’re pretty used to it. :)

Likes your posts as he see them on his feed and occasionally leaves a short comment like, “beautiful <3”

✧ GENSHIN MEN CRUSHING AND CONFESSING ✧

Pairings: Kaeya, Xiao, Tartaglia, Kazuha, Diluc, Albedo, Scaramouche x gn! Reader

♤ Summary: Hcs for how various characters go about crushes~ ♤ Warnings: No major warnings mostly fluff, Scara's kind of a jerk though. ♤ A/N: Omggg first real post! Reblogs would be greatly appreciated <3

Kaeya:

When Kaeya meets you, he is first enamored with your appearance. Therefore, the route he takes is confidence and directness to flirt with you, he never once hides his attraction. His sultry voice and brief comments about how infatuating you are to him tend to extract these wonderful little giggles from you. The sound never grows tired on his ears, nor do they fail to make his heart swoon.

Kaeya does not realize it at first, but your effect on him becomes stronger swiftly, and makes him rather clingy. He finds himself unable to focus on the tasks of the day and merely looks forward to seeing you. He follows his urges and seeks you out, passing through your most frequent spots in hopes of 'accidentally' bumping into you. When he finds you, he will spend as long as he can stalling for your time. Asking you questions about your day, showering you with compliments, whatever he can do to keep you talking to him without appearing too desperate. He would usually see idle conversation as a bore, but anything is interesting as long as it's your voice that's talking about it.

It's natural to be wary of Kaeya's approach. While his flattery is nice at first, you notice that his inviting posture and half-lidded gaze does not disappear when he is speaking to others. It makes you wonder if you are as special to him as he's led you to believe.

Put off by this, you brush off his efforts. He is confused by your indifference and his demeanor begins to melt rapidly. He seems nervous now when the two of you are conversing, even blushing and avoiding eye contact with you. Being rejected by someone isn't what scares him. Being rejected by you is.

It is noticeable, people often tease you about what a lovesick puppy you've turned him into, snickering about how they've never seen the slow walking, smirk wearing, calvary captain of Mond so stuttery and fidgety around anyone. It is difficult to stand firm on your previous notion that "he is just that way with everyone." Perhaps he does deserve a chance after all.

Kaeya has mostly retired his earlier mannerisms with you, not wishing to make you uncomfortable. That is until, you throw an unprompted flirtatious comment towards him.

It is experimental and casual on your part, but it successfully shakes him to his core. He realizes then and there he cannot let another day pass without you being named as his partner. This routine of playful flirting is as far as he would typically take it when interested in someone, it was the most enjoyable part to him anyways. But with you, it just felt torturous and drawn out. He craved so much more.

As assured as he appears on the surface, Kaeya is not very good at expressing himself romantically. He does not want to risk everything just yet, so he believes the best course of action is simply asking you out for drinks.

You are still not entirely sold that Kaeya will take care of your feelings, but you agree out of curiosity and give him the chance to prove you wrong. He is overjoyed at your answer and becomes rather excited, he quickly has to catch himself and snap his careless attitude back on, but you saw his eagerness.

For a while you are testing the waters with Kaeya, keeping him taking you on little dates and you are quick to learn that there is a lot more to him than meets the eye. There is a certain serenity, a content air about him when you are together, as if he felt everything had fallen into the right place. The way he looks at you is different than when you first met. It feels as though he truly sees you now.

Finally, you are the one to offer a romantic relationship to him. He has been waiting for you. He knows you have been hesitant, so he's intended to allow you to harness control.

His answer is not a word or agreement, but rather a glint of joy in his eyes, quickly followed by a kiss. When you reciprocate, he knows he finally managed to snatch your heart. How thrilled he is for tomorrow.

Xiao:

Loving you to Xiao is similar to being a cat on a marble floor. He is completely unacquainted with emotion as a whole, so when this stomach tightening, face warming, posture stiffening feeling begins to hit him, he is justly at a loss.

He absolutely despises the feeling, to him it translates as nausea or sickness. Why, you gave him an ailment! How dare you! And to think he still yearns for proximity with you.

That is another thing he despises, ever since you met the adeptus you are always begging to spend time with him and he just can't help but agree. You seem to find much comfort in his presence, he isn't sure why. His conversational abilities are stale, his tone pessimistic, his liveliness is nonexistent. Mortals have never connected with him the way you have, which only makes sense because it's absolutely fruitless.

But there you are, always asking him questions about himself that confuse him. Why did you need to know his favorite color? He didn't have one. They were colors, useless visuals.

You are a strange mortal, and so easily charmed or manipulated as well by the smallest of things. Perhaps that's the reason he ends up taking on such a protective role to you. He is always worrying himself sick about you. A pure spirited person like you is just bound to find themselves in trouble.

Despite the amount of inconvenience you cause him, he finds himself feeling so privileged each time he gets to be around you. He's aware mortals often express gratitude for one another, and his way of doing this is by giving gifts.

They are small gifts, flowers, leaves that are intricately folded into three dimensional shapes, crystals, whatever makes him think of you, really.

He doesn't expect validation for his attempts and the way you react each time catches him off guard. All smiles and hurried words of gratefulness, sometimes you pull him into a tight lung crushing hug, which he just hates of course. But he'll allow it. You're only putting yourself at risk choosing to be so close to him.

Something about you makes him need more of you. Every day he finds himself wondering about you, if you will come find him. He catches himself watching from the rooftops of Wangshuu Inn, waiting. Hoping?

And you're always right on cue. This gives him a sense of stability and routine, which was never important to him before. But now he feels safe in a way. It makes no sense to him, he's protecting you, not the other way around.

It takes him a long time to consider the possibility that he does enjoy your company, that this ailment, this curse you've put on him, is actually just his emotional response to you being nearby. When he identifies it, he isn't sure what to do with it. He's aware that humans like to put labels on each other to signify their connection, but he knows so little, he's too unwilling to ruin what is already there. Friendship with you is better than nothing, even if he feels the urge to just attack you with physical contact each time your hand grazes him.

He takes his time opening up to you about his feelings and desires, dropping small tidbits to enlighten you when you speak to one another. You manage to figure it out before he's really given you a proper confession, but you want him to work through it slowly, so you say nothing until the day he finally outright says it.

"I believe I am... Falling in love with you. So, what happens now?" Hopefully, you're willing to guide him through it?

Tartaglia:

Tartaglia really never expected to become so obsessed with you. His initial interest comes from your abilities in combat. He enjoys sparring with the people that are more similar to him in strength, it helps him improve. You're perfect for this. An equal opponent to help him boost his own abilities is all he saw at first.

What he feels during these sessions with you is pure thrill. He sees your relationship as equally matched opponents who agree that there is nothing to lose and everything to gain. Fighting you is never predictable, you are strangely good at catching him off guard. He becomes easily addicted to the feeling of freedom that comes with fighting you, the ability to let go accompanied by the trust that you could hold your own even if he did take it a bit too far. Soon enough, he's borderline pestering you for more and more matches.

Something he slowly finds out is that the two of you share a specific chemistry. The trust you build on the battlefield with one another fuels your comfortable compatibility. Being around you is just easy. The first time his feelings for you begin to rise, he notices immediately.

Just a certain angle of you, and he... Felt something. He knows it, too. This is when his pursuit for you begins. It is rare for him to have free time, and the majority of that is already occupied with your sparring sessions. So, he has to sacrifice a few of those to instead ask you to spend time with him in a more casual way.

He demands you clear your morning plans to get coffee with him, and you agree. Why not? You don't know much about Tartaglia other than his go-to defense techniques.

But oh, how hopeless he is. Tartaglia has never had a romantic partner before, too consumed in his work to care all that much. He gives you horrendous pick-up lines the entire morning until you beg him to stop. He thought he was doing so well, too.

Fortunately, you're more skilled with words than him and you manage to bring the flow back by distracting him with topics you believe are of interest to him. He is comfortable around you, and prefers casual conversation, so he will indulge. Slightly embarrassed by your reaction to his crude attempt at flirting, he decides it may be best to leave it be the way it is.

Determined nonetheless, he continues to hog your calendar with little meetings, he is transparent and unimpressive, which thankfully comes off as quite adorable to you. You've never seen him in this light before. You enjoy teasing him. However, there is only so much he can take before he has to finally state that he is in love with you, and needs to know if you reciprocate.

Begrudgingly, you accept his feelings, although you are disappointed you no longer get to keep him on his toes, his victorious smile makes it worth it.

Kazuha:

Kazuha is the textbook definition of carefree, when he develops feelings for you, he immediately accepts them and continues to live on contently. Whatever happens, happens! His behavior around you does not change in the slightest aside from going out of his way to be near you. Other than that, it's almost unnoticeable.

His reasoning for not confessing anything to you is plain and simple. He does not wish to put you in an uncomfortable position when he is not sure if you even want the same things he does. He isn't scared of being rejected or losing you, he just genuinely does not want to stress you out. He doesn't want to apply pressure to you, he just wants to bask in your radiant existence as much as you'll allow him. No worries, being just friends is good enough for him if it means you can live undisturbed by his inconvenient feelings of affection.

Kazuha has always been in touch with his emotions, more so than the usual person. He subtly expresses his feelings for you with poems and words of affirmation, he likes to make sure you know exactly how wonderful you are. But he never oversteps or puts too much of a spotlight on you.

Because he is just a romantic at heart, it's easy to assume this may just be how he expresses friendship. He's aware that he comes off that way, which is another reason he's so willing to give you so much affection and praise. He does like you, and he wants to show it, but he knows it's not out of character for him to behave this way.

Where his feelings for you really shine through is how protective he is. He doesn't like the idea of you travelling anywhere alone and usually offers to accompany you everywhere. He has faith in your capability to defend yourself but he finds comfort knowing he will be there if needed.

Kazuha always has good ideas when it comes to spending time with you, they are likely to involve nature. He knows where all the best places are, hot springs, water falls, fields of flowers, certain spots where the sunset looks just perfect, you name it, he'll take you there.

He enjoys giving you his attention, but even just being in the same room while the two of you are focused on separate tasks is equally enjoyable to him. He likes that there is never awkwardness or tension between you. Just an easy companionship. You understand one another without trying.

Kazuha only confesses his feelings to you when he's certain you want to hear about them. Whatever way you may choose to let him know, he'll act fast to ensure there is no confusion. He sees no thrill or excitement in allowing you to remain oblivious, and is very content telling you directly when he feels you have given him enough hints. It almost feels too easy, which is exactly what he intends. He doesn't want to see you struggle with your own feelings for even a moment.

When Kazuha officially enters a romantic relationship with you, he takes the transition very slowly to keep you comfortable. He does not immediately start smothering you in affection. It's a slow and steady process. It's not that he doesn't want to kiss you at any given moment, he just prefers that you take the reigns in that area so he's always certain it's what you want to do.

When you are with Kazuha, you can always trust that he will listen to you and cater towards your emotional needs. He is just so in love with you.

Diluc:

Diluc grapples with his feelings for you for a while, assuming they will just come and go. He is not the most knowledgeable about relationships and worries about his ability to be a good partner to you even if he does act on his feelings.

The idea of romance isn't something Diluc is a stranger to, but it's never been on the forefront of his mind. Charming and handsome as he is, it is only natural that he's been approached in the past by people hoping for a chance with him. He's never explored with any of those people, it just wasn't something he really wanted to do. But, you changed things. He catches himself imagining a relationship with you, wondering what it would be like to be with you in that way. The longer it goes on, the more painful it becomes.

When he's no longer able to deny his feelings, he takes a very polite demeanor. He's truly a gentleman, it's difficult for you to remember the last time you opened a door for yourself in his presence. If you happen to visit Angel's Share, you can rest assured you're never going to have to pay for anything.

Getting complimented by Diluc is rare, truthfully he just doesn't know how to phrase things. When he does compliment you, however, it's always genuine and heartfelt. Something about your manner, the way you carry yourself, your resilience, things like that.

Ensuring you are safe is the most important thing to him. He will always voice it loud and clear if he believes you are in an unsafe situation. He doesn't want to cross a line so he will only help if you ask him to. If you do happen to need his help with something, he will have it taken care of very quickly.

Diluc does not care to give you sugary compliments or be vocal about how you make him feel. He is more subtle than that. His affection for you is shown through how he remembers little things about you that might go unnoticed to anyone else, reminds you that he is there for you if you ever need him, never fails to show up for you when you do.

It takes a while for Diluc to gain the courage to tell you how he feels, but when he does get fed up pining after you, he is careful with his choice of words. He wants you to know that even if you reject him, he will still be there for you no matter what. You not reciprocating his feelings for you will not change your importance to him.

He genuinely does not expect you to reciprocate his feelings. When you do, he isn't sure what to do. He didn't have that part planned. He becomes a flustered mess on the spot but ultimately manages to pull himself together and swears his devotion to you.

Adjusting to a relationship with you seems to come naturally for Diluc. While he's internally awkward and so unsure most of the time, he becomes comfortable with you quickly as he realizes you do not judge him for this whatsoever. He is satisfied and feels secure knowing that there is nothing to prove anymore.

Albedo:

Albedo is not head over heels with you right off the bat. It takes a long time getting to know you before he feels anything. Of course, there was always something unidentifiable about you that interested him, but that's as far as it went until now. He isn't sure what exactly gave him this emotional response to you, but he's very curious about it.

Albedo is interested in humanity as a whole. He sees his emotions more akin to resources for his research rather than necessary tools to operate in society. So, when this crush on you blooms, it's an experiment to him. Obviously, he's going to need your assistance. He very boldly and plainly states that he is having these feelings and needs your help identifying and exploring them. It's the first time you've ever seen him clueless.

Explaining the concept of having a crush to him is nearly impossible. More often than not, crushes come out of the blue with no single explanation for them. Something about this he just cannot wrap his mind around.

It's a mission, but Albedo eventually gets it. Love, a sensation he had always pinned on biology seems to be much more emotional and complex than he could have ever anticipated. He reluctantly accepts your embarrassed explanation as truth. When he learns that you reciprocate his feelings, he is confused once more. Why didn't you just tell him? Nervous? Why? He insists you tell him when you feel something significant towards him so you two can conduct your research easier.

Albedo often takes notes about how certain things you do makes him feel. When you hold his hand, his face gets warm. When you laugh, he feels as though he is in a trance and forgets where he is. When you respond positively to his affection, he's eager to do those things more. Everything you do elicits a new reaction from him, it's all worth writing down.

He loves learning new things about you. Now that you've managed to put him in this position, it's like you are the most interesting thing in the world. What makes you the way you are? What crosses your mind the most? What is it about your favorite things that you like so much? Tell him everything in excruciating detail, please.

Albedo likes to share his interests with you too, when you offer to work with him on something involving alchemy, he is overjoyed. He likes to tell you about the ins and outs of everything involving life. He always wonders what you will think. Sometimes, you give him a new perspective on it that makes him reflect. He likes that about you. His work is usually rooted in science and logic, so it only makes sense that logical is the mindset he's lived with. But you bring such interesting ideas that he's never considered before.

He's realized he may be more out of touch with the world than he believed. If he did not know what love was before he met you, what else did he not know? Because of this, he will stay open minded and always consider your point of view when making emotion-related decisions.

For as long as you are with Albedo, he will always have something to learn and grow from. He sees you as very important to him in this way and will do his best to make sure you are content and happy in the relationship.

Scaramouche:

Scaramouche believes he has one purpose in this world. Divinity. If he is to invest himself in something, he better be getting one step closer to godhood in the process. His feelings for you are not necessary, he can't get anything of value out from them. That's the way he sees it. What irritates him is how badly he wants to indulge. Emotion is the very weakness that caused him to be cast out by his creator from the start. He isn't about to easily succumb to his emotion once more when his mission is the electro gnosis. But it is so very difficult to resist when you're around.

It's pretty much all up to you to initiate anything. It's challenging. The first time he saw your hand inching closer to his, he snatched it away immediately. Ever since these feelings of his emerged, every time you try to catch him when he's not busy, hoping to spend some time with him, he runs. He actually runs. He makes no attempt to hide it, either.

He knows if he spends too much time with you, his feelings will only grow. Allowing you to hold his hand or be near him is a slippery slope he's not willing to try. Why won't you just leave him alone? Why must you make it so hard for him to overcome his crush? Take a hint, already.

Eventually, you actually do take the hint and stop pestering him for his time. Good! Now he can focus on other things... Except he can't because now he's panicking over possibly having lost you. What if he hurt your feelings? No, he doesn't care about your feelings. You only ever annoyed him anyways. But for some reason thinking about it just stings.

Scaramouche realizes that one person causing this much trouble for him is absolutely unacceptable. You always being nearby was bad, but you leaving him alone is worse. He isn't going to allow you to steal his heart and then run for the hills, no way. He demands that you spend more time with him. You are flabbergasted, but he's glad to hear you agree.

Overtime, Scaramouche becomes more nervous about you. He grows attached to you and nearly everything he's grown attached to in the past abandoned him, it continues to haunt him to this day. He yearns for your affection, but having it would make the fall so much harder when you ultimately leave him behind. However, he's already so far in. He wonders if having a good thing for even a moment would be better than torturing himself over it instead.

With that, he tells you how he feels, how it's all your fault he's such a mess now, and that you need to make it up to him by being his partner. He's not surprised when you accept his feelings. It's the very least you could do, of course.

Over the span of your relationship, you'll notice how clingy Scaramouche is. It's like if you are not in his sight for even a moment, you're probably dead somehow. He'd never admit it, but you can tell he is paranoid and desperately requires reassurance. He's honestly kind of pathetic but he's yours.

Scaramouche remains unmoving on his theory that you will abandon him someday. He's been through it too many times to fully trust you straightaway. You're just gonna have to prove him wrong.

“Safe with me.”

Synopsis: How he reacts when his s/o gets injuried. Characters involved: fatui!Scaramouche, Xiao, & Childe. TW: Very mild descriptions of injuries. A bit of cussing. Probably not a trigger, but this could be OOC. A/N: Ah yes, the good ol’ ‘injured reader’ hcs/scenarios. I got lazy near the middle of Scaramouche’s scenario, so eh. Have fun with that. I wish I could’ve come up with a better title, but that’s all my brain juice managed to squeeze out. Also, I think I’m getting the hang of formatting! Haha. This might be out of character so bear with me. As always, GN!reader. NOT proofread.

Request status: open!

— You and I both know damn well he isn’t going to take this situation lightly. When I say he is upset, I mean he's pissed. Infuriated, even. How dare someone have the audacity to injure his significant other? Are they simply begging for death? — If you try to make light of the situation, he’ll shoot you a piercing glare to shut you up. He doesn’t find these circumstances to be amusing at all. Even if your injuries aren’t too grim, he’s still going to dispose of the treasure hoarders, and yes he’ll do it behind your back even if you oppose that idea. He isn’t a fatui harbinger for nothing. There isn’t anything you can do that will hinder him from annihilating them.

“Worthless as expected.”

You bit down gently on your lip as those harsh words sliced through your ears. Even though at this point you were used to Scaramouche’s degradation, it still stung a bit to hear those words easily exit his mouth. You weren’t given enough time to ponder over your boyfriend’s hurtful words because shortly after, the sharp stinging of alcohol swabs dabbed repeatedly on your open cuts. A hiss of pain was instantly drawn out of your lips. Hell, cleaning the wound hurt worse than the actual injury itself.

"It isn’t my fault that the treasure hoarder snuck up behind me,” You mumbled, rolling your eyes at him. Your hands clenched in your lap, being balled up into a fist when the swab tainted with rubbing alcohol hit a particularly deep cut on your shoulder. Scaramouche’s indigo-colored eyes flicked over to your clenched fists for a brief moment before he went back to cleaning up your wound. “mistakes happen.”

The room falls silent, the only noises being the grinding of your teeth and the occasional hiss of pain slipping past your lips despite your efforts to keep it down. While Scaramouche still managed to maintain his cold demeanor just as always, you failed to notice the slightest hint of worry in his gaze with each pained noise and every sign of discomfort you displayed. The truth was, he was utterly disgusted. Not at you nor your actions, but with the existence of that one treasure hoarder who held the audacity to lay his repulsive hand on you. The hand that held such a tight grip on the dagger that sliced cleanly through your flesh, ripping a large hole in your clothes as well as your skin. When the news had reached him that his significant other got wounded during a battle, Scaramouche was livid. The wound itself was not fatal, but still. However, it was fine now. He was here with you, tending to your wounds. You’re okay.

“Are you an idiot?” A bitter scoff was brought out of his mouth, his fiery orbs seemingly drilling holes into your soul with how intense his glare was. He tossed aside the cotton swab that was now covered in blood and reached into the first aid kit to pull out a bandage. The pads of his fingers brushed softly against your skin as he delicately wrapped a bandage onto your shoulder. His face softened as he spoke the next words, his voice still remaining cold, yet there was also warmth detected in his tone. “I wasn’t mocking you, I was referring to how pathetic the treasure hoarder looked as he begged on his knees for mercy.”

You blink once and then twice in confusion as you try to process his words. Oh, so that’s what he meant. A sheet of awkwardness fluttered down in the room. Both parties remained silent once again. Scaramouche glowered down at the first aid kit as he began to put away the clean roll of bandages and cotton swabs. The transparent box was snapped shut, the sharp noise being obnoxious in contrast to the deathly quiet room.

“You’re lucky those useless underlings found you when they did. Who knows what would’ve happened had they not spotted you. You’d be dead!” His voice was the first to break the silence. In fact, he had done that twice in a row now. You weren’t surprised in the slightest. You already knew he would start scolding you the second he was sure you were safe. It was just his way of showing how much he valued your safety. “Now, I need you to tell me just what the hell went through your mind when you decided to let your guard down in the middle of a fight.”

The lecture lasted two hours straight. About 90% of it was him constantly telling you to stop being in your own little la-la world and to pay more attention when in a fight. There was no mistaking the sprinkle of fear hidden behind his eyes as he scolded you mercilessly. Yet, despite how harshly he was reprimanding you, you couldn’t help but notice how tightly his arms were wrapped around your waist later that night. How he held you a little bit closer to him when you two retired for the night.

You weren’t allowed to go complete any commissions the next day. Mr. Fandango man held you hostage in the camp. And when you were finally permitted, — yes, permitted. He’s paranoid, okay? — to go do your daily comissions, he stationed some fatui underlings to accompany you with your work. If he wasn’t so busy, then he’d go with you himself considering he’s much more reliable than some worthless underlings. However, he made sure himself that the underlings were qualified enough to look out for you.

Better safe than sorry.

— Hm, I wonder what kind of flowers your culprit wants at their funeral. Maybe sunflowers? Ooh, how about daisies? Heck, Childe will pay for them himself out of spite. — You thought he was clingy before you got hurt? Well, multiply that by a hundred. He’ll be spoiling you rotten during your time being injured, despite the wound being just a couple of teensy weensy cuts. — It’s not just little cuts in the grand scheme of things, okay? Anything can get tainted by bacteria, which can then lead to an infection, which could also lead to death, and then- and then-! (we get it, childe. chill.)

“I brought you some flowers.”

Your head swivels in the direction of the sudden, yet familiar voice that had just come out of nowhere. You had been preoccupied with cleaning the minor cuts that were littered across your fingers. It wasn’t anything too bad. It was all due to some sharp ice that a cryo abyss mage had spawned above your form. Luckily, you had dodged it fairly quickly. The problem was that the large block of ice had completely shattered when it smashed onto the ground, the tiny shards of ice flying up into the air and cutting up your hands.

A head of messy ginger hair comes into your line of sight. It was your significant other, Childe. He was holding a bouquet of roses in his gloved hands as he slowly approached the table you were sitting at, pulling out one of the wooden chairs and sitting down on it across from you. “Are those for me?” You asked, pointing your forefinger at the flowers he held in his hand. It was almost impossible not to let your eyes wander over the gorgeous bright red petals. They looked as if they had been tended to with the utmost care before being picked fresh. You could only imagine how sweet the aroma must smell.

“Who else would it be for?” The tone of his voice was teasing as he passed the bouquet over to you. You gratefully accepted it, and after pressing your face into the soft petals to get a nice big whiff of the pleasant smell, you gently placed the roses in a glass jar that was filled with various kinds of flowers. Cecilias that had been imported from Monstadt, qingxins that were plucked from the highest mountains in Liyue, and hell, you even had sweet flowers in the jar.

And they had all come from Childe. That wasn’t even counting the scrumptious, expensive sweets he had bought for you as well. He had been spoiling you rotten ever since the scuffle you had with the abyss mage. On the contrary, you hadn’t gotten injured that badly. It was just a couple of cuts on your hands. Although, the 11th of the fatui harbingers didn’t just treat it as if it were just ‘some cuts.’ He had been treating you as if you were fragile porcelain. Something that couldn’t be easily replaced if broken so carelessly. His eyes trailed over to the small bandages that were fitted on your hands. The worried and slightly enraged look in his big blue eyes hadn’t faded away the entire day.

“Are you feeling better, darling?” Childe lowered his voice to a gentle whisper as he kindly took your hand in his own, taking extra care in trying to avoid holding it too tightly lest it stings for you. The fabric of his gloves felt soft against your hands as he held them gently. A coy smile fell across his lips. “I take it you liked the flowers?” You nodded your head leisurely as a response. While you felt slightly embarrassed due to how much he’d been spoiling you, you couldn’t help but feel loved. Despite his status as a fatui harbinger, which would scare many people off, you couldn’t help but love him dearly. He appreciated you and your presence greatly and treated you as if you were a higher deity. Like you were the jam to his peanut butter.

The grip he held on your hands tightened ever so slightly as he continued to gaze deeply into your eyes, a loving, yet determined look in his own. You were here, safe with him. He would protect you till the day either you or he perished. Damn it all if he ever failed to protect you again.

You are the love of his life, and he is yours. Nothing could ever change that fact.

“By the way, did I tell you about how I murdered every abyss mage in the vicinity and beyon-”

“Childe, what.”

— He is freaking out. — Why didn’t you call out his name? Didn’t he tell you countless amounts of times to call out for him if you ever found yourself in danger? He was supposed to protect you, damn it! — He blames himself for it. 100%. He should have been cautious and kept by your side. He should’ve been there, and he wasn’t. — Even after he tears through the treasure hoarders with his spear, he still feels furious the more and more he stares at your wounds. How. Dare. They? — While he’s also furious, he’s also terrified. He can’t lose you. He can’t. He just can’t.

Your vision was blurry and your mind felt foggy as your brain scrambled around to try and process what was happening. Everything had been going well a few minutes prior to this very moment. You were on your merry way to Wangshu Inn to visit your beloved, when suddenly you got ambushed with a horde of swords and bows. The roughness of the rope dug deeply into the skin of your wrists as you were pressed up against a tree, your body battered and bruised. It had all happened in mere seconds. You barely had enough time to process or defend yourself from all that was happening, let alone even think about calling out for your significant other. And when your brain did clear up enough to think about calling him, you felt hesitant to do so.

You watched in a daze as the treasure hoarders ruffled through your belongings in your bag. All of your items were strewn around the camp so carelessly. The treasure hoarders didn’t want to just settle for your pocketbook. The greed that filled up their hearts gave them an intense lust for riches. Not that you had any. You hated every single moment of this scenario. It felt as if you were some helpless damsel in distress whom relied on others to come and save them. It was humiliating.

But it was either get saved or more than likely suffer a gruesome death.

“Xia-!”

Before you can even finish speaking his name, all of the treasure hoarders are dead and lying lifeless on the ground, Xiao standing menacingly over their still bodies. Your face paled just looking at the sight. While you knew your boyfriend wasn’t a stranger to ending lives, he never unleashed his fury in front of you. However, you knew it would happen either way. Xiao wasn’t a merciful soul to those who harmed the people he actually gave a shit about. Even if he didn’t like killing humans, he’d do so without a thought if a measly mortal were to put your life at risk. It had taken Xiao a split second to stalk up to your restrained form to break you free of the restraints that held you in place. Before you could utter a single word to break the silence, you felt callous hands untying you from the oak tree. The scent of fresh blood floated up your nostrils, the strong metallic smell making your stomach feel queasy. At this point, Xiao had gotten rid of his mask and was focused on getting you safe and sound. His eyebrows scrunched together in sheer frustration as his eyes scoured over every inch of your body, the bruises and slashes never once leaving his eyes. While there was also fury, there was also a clear sense of worry shown through how shaky his fingers were as he finally undid the ropes, how uneven his breathing was as he caught you in his arms. (more like snatched you into his arms.) He was trying his hardest to remain calm, but he couldn’t.

“Xiao, I-”

“…Are you okay?”

Even his voice trembled as he desperately tried to keep up a stoic facade. You knew he was panicking. He knew he was panicking. How could anyone not panic upon seeing their significant other is bruised and bleeding? While the injuries certainly would not result in your death, all he could think about was what could have happened. He could be burying your body right now instead of holding you close to him. He clutched you as if you were his most prized possession, which you were. He knew he had to get you to a healer, but he had the hardest time letting you go. He needed to hear you say it. To say that you were all right. That you wouldn’t leave him.

Your arms wrapped around his torso as you hugged him gently, slowly rubbing your hand up and down his back soothingly as you tried to comfort him. “It’s all right, Xiao. I’m still here. I won’t leave you. I’m okay.”

Those words were all it took for him to crumble down. His hands tightened around your waist exponentially as he held you close, his head pressed into his shoulder as he calmed yourself with his presence.

It would all be okay in the end. Because when it all came down to it…

“You’re safe with me, (name). No one will ever hurt you again. I swear it.”

“That’s nice and all, but could I please go to a doctor-”

“Oh, right.”

“The curtains have closed and the seats have become bare. The show is over.”

Love Languages (Xiao, Tartaglia, Kaeya Diluc)

I was reading tie a lasso around the moon by starglittered on ao3 (which is a very, very cute Tartaglia x lumine fic, very much recommend) and this popped into my head and I absolutely had to write this.

CW: fluff, angst in Kaeya and Diluc sections

Xiao x gn!reader, Tartaglia x gn!reader, Kaeya x gn!reader, Diluc x gn!reader

Xiao

I think Xiao's giving love language is likely Acts of Service (there's definitely a difference between his giving and receiving love language)

I mean, one of his big things is if you need him just call his name

Whether it be old gods before Zhongli saved him or Liyue, service is something he's known his whole life. So it's very natural that it translates over to his relationship with you

Whenever he's free, he's helping you with whatever he can. He spent a lot of time learning how to cook because he loves your smile when he makes breakfast for you

His receiving love language is physical contact.

It's odd because while acts of service is so familiar and comfortable, physical contact is something he had to get used to.

He never really thought he'd ever receive something so human, but now that you're here, he's grown to really love it

Xiao has often found that your touch is enough to drive away his demons and settle him, sometimes even allowing to sleep. Once again, a human act he never thought he'd participate in

Tartaglia

Tartaglia's love language is 100% physical touch

He radiates a certain physicality, especially when he fights, and that translates into the rest of his life

He loves having an arm around your shoulder or waist and his always peppering you with soft kisses just because he feels like it. And I really wouldn't put it past that little shit to keep trying to cop a feel.

He loves it just as much when you reach out for him. When you're cuddling on the couch and sit on his lap or when he's cooking (I feel like he's a really good cook) and you give him hugs from the back

After a long absence it gets even worse. It's hard to get him to let go, because he missed you so much. He gets touch starved during those absences because it's not like he's going to cuddle with anyone but you. He's 100% yours, but it means he suffers when he's away for so long

Kaeya

Kaeya has a couple love languages, I think. A mix of quality time, physical touch and words of affirmation

Starting with the first, he just seems like a touchy person who loves to spend time with you

If you're there he's happy and while you spend time together, he has a tendency to give brief touches. Stuff like a hand on the shoulder, a kiss to the forehead, quick touches before moving to the next task. I dunno why, but Kaeya gives me very restless vibes so they aren't long, but they're definitely there.

Aside from physical touch and quality time, words of affirmation are a thing. Surprisingly, it's not his primary giving love language. He's usually a little more genuine with you, not finding it necessary to sweet talk you, though it definitely happens.

Words of affirmation is his receiving love language. As strong as he can be and cold as he can be, he feels a great deal of conflict and guilt. he doesn't get to forget about his divided loyalties or the pain of the past, so when you're with him, hugging him, telling him that you're there and not going to leave him, that you love him--honestly, sometimes he finds it overwhelming, but the combination is something he finds he needs.

To hear that someone loves him for him, makes him soft and very, very happy.

Diluc

Diluc is a quality time person, though he really likes physical touch

He's so very busy, with his business and his dark knight hero gig, so he treasures time with you even more

Even if it's just you hanging out in his office reading while he does paper work or helping babysit the drunks while he's working as a bartender, he'll take what he can get

His receiving love language is physical contact

By the time your relationship is truly settled, it's just habit for him to get home and seek a hug. He buries his face in your neck or hair and relaxes

There are a lot of times, especially after his patrols as the dark knight hero where it's the only thing that can ground himself.

After a bad day, it reminds him that you're there and that he's not alone.

I mean, he's lost so many people. His father, Kaeya, and he lost the brotherhood of the knights when they did Crepus dirty. There are times when he's terrified that he's going to lose you too.

Your touch grounds him and gives him a feeling of safety and security that he hasn't had in years. Sometimes it drives away his demons, while other times it allows him to feel comfortable expressing it.

You've seen more of Diluc Ragnvindr in those cuddle sessions that anyone else has.

genshin impact ; hcs

sfw. ✩ single!parent reader (neutral gender) brings their child to a date with them.

a/n. ✩ k/n stands for kid name so you decide what it is. reader is neutral however kid is calling the parent mommy. kid is also gender neutral. also the date is not the first which is why the boys are so comfortable w reader.

featuring: childe, itto, alhaitham.

CHILDE

childe loves kids. and he’s good at dealing with them. he hid it from you on your first date, not because he thought you’d lose interest but he didn’t see the necessity.

he told you he had younger siblings though and the way his eyes sparkled when talking about them made it clear that he loved them.

so when your babysitter said she couldn’t watch over k/n today, you found yourself forced to bring them with you but didn’t think it’d be a problem.

a few days ago, childe had given you the address of a park near his apartment. he told you how the view was breathtaking and that you just had to see it so you agreed.

and there you were, parking your car on the street, a dumb smile on your lips just at the idea of meeting with him again.

you really did appreciate him, and if you were to get in a serious relationship with him, then you might as well reveal him the existence of your child right now.

it was respect. the minimum, especially since you’ve already met several times and there seemed to be some sort of bond creating between you two.

‘y/n, over here !’ you heard his cheerful voice from afar. he walked towards you, a hand in the pockets of his jeans and the other holding his phone.

he showed you the screen, where your last conversation with him was displayed and giggled. ‘was about to text you.’

his eyes were glued to your face and at this point you even asked yourself whether he saw your kid clinging on to your right leg.

‘yeah sorry for being a little late. i had a problem with my babysitter so… i’m introducing k/n to you.’

your heart was beating fast. for some reason your body was telling you that this was a mistake and that you shouldn’t have brought the kid here. not today, not like that.

lots of thoughts that made you slowly dive in fear; fear of being rejected. of course you’d be quick to move on, that man wasn’t yours and you weren’t even in love to begin with.

but as you started to overthink the whole situation, the man before you disappeared from your sight, getting on the kid’s level.

‘nice to meet you k/n. i’m childe.’ he handed out his hand for the kid to take, but since your four year old baby was not really talkative, he hid himself and didn’t take the hand.

‘mommy..’ they whispered, gripping harder on your pants, as if asking you to take them into your arms.

‘oh i’m sorry.. they’re a little shy.’

childe got back up in a second, not forcing any more interaction with the kid and instead looking back at you. his face was relaxed and the smile on his lips genuine when he spoke up again.

‘it’s alright. they’ll relax around me later, i hope.’

childe’s face got closer to yours, slowly going for your lips, and gently caressing your back.

he did make it clear how he had the intention of being more than a random flirt to you. and to see him care so much about your child reassured you, melting your heart.

ITTO

itto was exactly the type of guy to make you believe there were still some good ones. he was fun, sweet and genuinely caring about your well being

you met several times already but for some reason you didn’t manage to tell him about your kid. you weren’t especially afraid of breaking what was between you two but you needed to wait for the good moment to do so

but in the end, the day where you’d have to tell him wasn’t one you chose because you were forced to bring k/n to your date after your sister let you down at the very last minute

‘y/n hey !’ he shouted from his car when seeing you. he laughed and gave you a soft gaze when telling you he’d park further and join you right after.

‘mommy who is that’ your kid was 6 already and of course they couldn’t resist the urge of asking any question that came to their mind at this age.

you sighed before looking back at him. ‘this is a good friend. his name is itto. to that the kid only shrugged. you both waited a few minutes before seeing him coming to you.

‘hi y/n, looking beautiful as always !’ he shouted.

his natural enthusiasm was always fascinating to you. you couldn’t even remember a single time where itto wasn’t like that; happy and fun.

that part of him was making him look cool to children you thought. you even saw it yourself during the past few dates you’ve been having together.

‘hello itto.’ your child spoke.

he was pretty comfortable towards people but rarely making the first step; especially with adults so you had to admit you got a bit surprised.

itto looked back at the kid before patting his head gently and your child groaned as he kinda messed his hair up. ‘hi buddy. how you doin ?’

to that the kid nodded his head yes, ‘good.’ he only stated before speaking up again ‘mommy says you’re a good friend.’

‘a good friend..’ he started before drawing his attention back to you ‘so they’re your kid ?’ he asked just to make sure even though it seemed pretty obvious judging by the way they called you.

‘sorry about that, my sister couldn’t watch over k/n anymore so i figured it wouldn’t bother if i took him with me today.’

itto laughed. a beautiful laugh. he caressed your chin softly. ‘it’s alright. we’ll have a nice day, perhaps even better.’

he smiled at you and focused back on your kid. in the end he didn’t really pay much attention to you. of course he still stared at you sometimes, and he was still full of affection for you. but he pretty much spent the whole day playing with the kid.

you didn’t mind it though. to see them getting along that well was reassuring you in a way. because now, you definitely knew itto wouldn’t let you down and perhaps he could be a good stepfather for your kid.

judging by the way he seemed so happy to play with them, you figured out you still stood a chance to get with him in a relationship.

ALHAITHAM

first of all alhaitham is a very busy man so finding a day where you were both free was pretty hard and in the end it happened to be a weekly day

since he suggested an afternoon together you thought you wouldn’t have to worry for your kid since he was at school

but it turned out your child was sick and of course, the teacher called you to come and get him and this was the way you had to announce alhaitham on your third date that you had a kid

‘is anything wrong ?’ alhaitham asked when you pulled the phone away from your ear.

you heaved a slight sigh. it was pretty embarrassing to announce it like that; because now you only thought about his reaction and perhaps he’d think you tried to hide it from him.

of course you were going to tell him about it. the feeling with him was super intense; and it seemed to be reciprocated since alhaitham texted you back after your very first dates.

‘yeah. i have to go and pick up k/n at school because they’re sick.’ you said.

alhaitham frowned. then he questioned you.

‘who’s k/n ?’

you looked away for a second and then back at him as you announced him the existence of your seven year old kid.

alhaitham’s face remained stoic, cold even. and you started to think this was not the man you thought he was. because if he wasn’t ready to accept and care about your kid; you couldn’t be with him.

but as the many thoughts we’re starting to give you a headache; he gave you a really slight smile. ‘i’ll take you there.’ he said, taking your hand in his and guiding you towards his car that was parked not too far.

‘please don’t feel forced, i will go alone it’s alright.’ you were a bit embarrassed since your kind was still stuck on the idea that he didn’t like the news of you having a kid already; but in fact it was his way of making you understand that he had no issues at all with this situation.

in the end, after he insisted, you agreed to let him drive you to the elementary school.

you got inside alone while he was waiting for you in the car. he would never admit it, but he was kinda nervous because he really did like you and well; he didn’t want your kid to despise him. so when you got back to his car, opening the door for your kid to get in; he smiled and turned back at the kid.

‘do you like mcdonalds?’

‘yeah duh. who doesn’t.’ the child replied and you stared at them, widened eyes thinking of how rude he sounded.

‘i’m sorry. he’s a bit straightforward.’ you sat back next to alhaitham, whose hand caressed your thigh in a gentle way. ‘he reminds me of a younger version of me.’

‘ew.’ you heard the kid groan to the sight of his parent getting hit on by a stranger he only just met and it kinda made alhaitham giggle. he for sure didn’t expect your sophisticated date to turn into this: him, buying fast food for your kid while you glare at him because the kid was sick.

but deep down you knew he only wanted the kid to feel comfortable around him and you truly hoped this was because he intended on making you his official partner later.

little did you know, he was only waiting for the moment he’d take the two of you to your place to kiss you and making things official.

Diluc x F!Reader ; Childe x F!Reader ; Scaramouche x F!Reader [NSFW]

CW : smut / BDSM / sextoys and intimate products / sexual misuse of non sexual devices / sadistic and/or dominant character x submissive reader

Word Count : 826

Diluc

Our Mondstadt hero, although a quiet man, can be sweet and loving one night but rough and unforgiving the next evening. His preferred toys would reflect that duality, which heavily depends on his mood.

Kissable Massage Oil : When Diluc wants to convey his love in a gentle and tender manner, he would give you a massage with soft and delicate touches, which would then lead to slow-paced yet passionate lovemaking. He would still remain gentle and very sweet until you’re both satisfied.

Silky restraints : If Diluc is in a more primal mood, he’ll use restraints to keep you under control. But he doesn’t want to hurt you, so he’ll make sure it’s still comfortable for you. Thus, using soft and silky fabrics is the best option here.

Candles : Some days are good days and some days are bad days. And on a bad day, Diluc will get much rougher than usual. He’ll straight up use his own necktie to tightly bind your wrists above your head to the bedframe. Once he’s sure you won’t be able to move, he’ll get the special, longer than average candles he has in store just for those kinds of moments. He only needs his own vision to control the heat and intensity, so wax play with Diluc will be entirely different from anything you could ever experience with anyone else.

Childe

Local Snezhnayan boy is usually a huge tease and he loves battles. Nothing will be different in bed, except that his focus will be on you and you only. No way to escape his ministrations.

Metallic Cuffs : Childe likes some struggle and fighting back, because at the end of the day he's confident he can make you hold still. But if he wants to go down on you, he doesn’t want you to wriggle around too much, so he will restrain you with something that won’t make squirming around easy for you. However, if you do try to struggle regardless, he’ll love the marks that will appear the next day on your skin around your wrists. He knows how you got those and you do too : another source of teasing during the day – which may or may not lead into more fucking.

Dog Collar : He would totally make you wear a collar in bed AND outside if you didn’t behave properly. Childe would buy a dog collar especially because you knowing that it's for dogs will get him more embarrassment and humiliation from you when you’ll wear it. He could ask for your favourite colour at least, but he won’t and will pick a blue one, to match his own eyes and Hydro vision. If you behaved really badly, he will take out the leash and make you walk on all fours, around the property. On normal days though, he’s such a show-off that he’ll demand you to wear it so others could see how pretty it looks on you – some people may even notice the cute nametag attacked to it, with your name engraved on the front side and “Tartaglia’s” on the backside.

Spreader Bar : If not a teasing devil, Childe is nothing. He’ll take huge pleasure in spreading and restraining your legs in the morning before going to work, not without having you stuffed with vibrating dildos. So, once he comes back in the evening, you’ve reached an almost pitiful stage, with how much you’ve been overstimulated, for hours and hours. If he’s feeling merciful, he’ll detach you and take you into a warm bath. But if not, he’ll simply make a good use of your more than prepared holes. After all, you’ve been waiting for him like the good girl you are.

Scaramouche

Scaramouche is a big sadist, that’s no news. He would definitely use toys and accessories to inflict pain on his darling, in a way or another.

Lube : It’s a lube which enables electric conduct, meaning that any use of his Electro powers on the lubricated areas will bring an enhanced electrification. He will use it on his own member, so he could stimulate you from your deepest places. Needless to say, there simply won’t be a single fucking session without the use of this lube.

Electric wand : A wand on its own is already fun enough for impact play, but what if it was also electric ? Well, it’s a great match for the previously mentioned lube. Scaramouche can also increase the intensity with his own powers. He doesn't need any control device ; he is the one in control.

Collar set : Speaking of control, he does love it. Inflicting pain too. As well as humiliating. And this ensemble made of a collar, mouth gag and nipple clamps is a perfect all in one. He wouldn’t use it as much as the previous two items, but if he had a not so good day at work, you’re sure to be fucked in this attire. After all, fucking you is a great stress relief for Scaramouche.

how about headcanons about some of the genshin boys‘ reaction to you squirting? I’d like to see diluc, tartaglia, kazuha, cyno, xiao, tighnari, alhaitham and scaramouche ;)

hello luv~

I will split my Genshin writing debut (aka this request) into two parts due to the amount of characters, so enjoy pt. 1 for now!!

EDIT: pt. 2 is up!!

————————————————————————

Genshin boys reacting to you squirting for the first time (nsfw) || pt.1

Diluc

• mans is dumbfounded (and kinda in awe)

• he looks up at you and blinks a few times, parts of his face covered in splatters of your slick

• "Well.. That’s new" he remarks, still processing what just happened while absentmindedly swiping his thumb across his bottom lip

• and you can bet your ass he’s going to make an effort to recall and memorize exactly what he did to get you there

• might even ask you what it was that you especially liked this time (he’ll wait until you’ve calmed down from your high before interrogating you though, he’s not a monster)

• and once he deems you ready for more, he will put his new hypothesis to the test right away bc he definitely wants you to do it again

• he’s a clean man and generally prefers not to get too messy, but in this case he doesn’t mind putting in some extra work for the cleanup after

—————

Childe/Tartaglia

• this man did it on purpose, 1000%

• not surprised in the slightest, but visibly elated at the fact that he finally got his sweet, innocent (on the outside at least-) girlie to squirt for him

• yes, he had been working towards it ever since you first started getting intimate with each other

• he’s an ambitious guy, training and practicing to get better at everything he does, and sex with his girlie is no different

• he can be a huge jerk, both in the streets and in the sheets, but in the end your pleasure and enjoyment is definitely top priority

• and what will he do now that he’s achieved this goal? why of course he’ll keep adding onto it to keep maximizing your pleasure

• meaning overstimulation all the way baby, now even more than usual

• he always enjoys your whining and begging, even more so when you’re crying because everything is just too much

• but he will always just shush you with a smile, kissing away your tears and cooing "I know baby, I know… but you’ll need to bear with it for just a while longer, yeah? Do it for me angel"

—————

Tighnari

• "Oh? I didn’t know females could do that too. You must’ve enjoyed yourself a lot just now, darling" the man with the fox ears purrs, visibly fascinated

• he assumes you didn’t know you could do that either, else you surely would’ve told him before, right?

• meaning he’ll have to find out himself how to please you in a way that gets you this ecstatic again

• like Diluc, he’ll inquire what it was that you particularly enjoyed

• he’s more… detailed with his inquisitions though, and very prone to experiment

• he’ll be trying out variations of "methods" and techniques on you, curious to explore the various reactions he is able to draw from you

• and yes, he does take notes. actual notes.

• so congrats, you just managed to become the Forest Watcher Academic’s #1 test subject and are in for a LOT of fun (and work😭😭👋🏼)

—————

Kazuha

• "Mmm such a good girl for me.. You did so well my love"

• a very humble man, not smug about being the source of your immense pleasure (ofc he’s still somewhat proud tho)

• will thoroughly lick you clean and then scoop you up into his lap to pull you into a deep kiss, letting you taste yourself on his sinful tongue (quite the generous gesture, seeing as he himself loves the taste of you so much)

• will try to get you to squirt for him again in the future, but doesn’t make it his main goal

• he prefers to just enjoy the moment and the emotional intimacy between the two of you, a "goal" such as this would only sully the act for him

• he’s an extremely attentive lover in general, picking up on every little reaction you offer him upon his touch, so you will enjoy yourself to the fullest every time, whether you squirt or not

• on a side note: if you were to specifically ask him to make you squirt again, he will. he now definitely knows how, and who is he to deny his love the pleasure she wishes for?

i’ve reread duality of man so many times, it’s completely captured my brain and i’m literally obsessed with it….. i’m going insane (/pos) imagining how it would feel for childe to learn that he was wrong, he was wrong and if it weren’t for foul legacy, his god would be dead at his hands!! how horrible it would be to learn that the creator trusts foul legacy over him because of his own actions!! FUCK!!!

inversion of fate

a/n: you are so right. target audience. anon is referencing this post.

word count: 1.8k

-> warnings: childe, major spoilers for his lore, imposter au things, it/its pronouns for foul legacy because it’s childe’s perspective

-> gn reader (you/yours)

taglist: @samarill || @thenyxsky || @valeriele3 || @shizunxie || @boba-is-a-soup || @yum1x || @esthelily

< masterlist >

childe doesn’t really see foul legacy as much more than an extension of himself, an extra tool he utilizes in the heat of battle, so to be shown that this ‘tool’ was correct? that his bloodlust had blinded him to the one thing that matters??? OUGH

foul legacy’s emotions sort of bleed into his due to the nature of their bond, so he can feel the genuine love that legacy feels for you and it drives him mad. he can tell it’s being genuine, that the claws swiping a strand of hair from your face are only moved by care, and it’s so irritating to him. he has to just sit there and simmer in the adoration from legacy, and he can’t do anything while you’re being so lovingly cared for by a creature of the abyss, only sit in a body he no longer has control over.

when foul legacy finally urges you to stand, he thinks it’s over. he tracks your direction and hears through abyssal ears, following your movement. he’s ready to go the moment that legacy gives up control.

maybe that’s why the moment never comes.

foul legacy closes its eye, spinning quickly to a seemingly random direction. it navigates solely by its own invisible senses, one’s childe’s brain isn’t wired to receive and decode, and he’s stunned into silence.

why is it going through so much trouble to protect you? surely it knows that even if childe isn’t the one, you’ll be caught eventually, right? it has to know that it can’t control his body forever (can it?) and that eventually he’ll get his revenge. it has to.

childe tries to keep himself oriented as best he can, if only to point others in the right direction, but legacy kept stopping to spin and confuse him. it only opened its eye once the sounds of the harbor reached its ears, and even then, childe found himself near the southern end of the harbor, near where the path split to lead up to the golden house.

he’d found you somewhere near luhua pool. he couldn’t tell whether to be impressed or annoyed that legacy managed to get him here so quickly.

standing on shaking legs, childe stumbled into the harbor. maybe it would be wise to get an agent to walk with him: he was always exhausted after a transformation, and this one was more mentally taxing than most.

in the back of his mind, he swears he can hear a satisfied rumble from the devouring deep.

it was rare that childe received a letter.

folders were common, crossing his desk to report on missions he didn’t order and announce things he didn’t ask about. orders themselves were common enough, ‘letters’ of notice in neat packages, a small box with a map and a card denoting what was to be done. he was familiar with both, as all harbingers were, but an actual letter?

childe spotted the bright blue paper from the moment he stepped into his office, slowly closing the door behind him. as he rounded his desk, he saw the bright gold wax seal shimmered under the light, taunting him from the center of his desk. the room was eerily quiet, the creak from his chair bouncing off the walls and back at him. as he picked up the envelope, the textured paper sparking a memory, the seal suddenly felt a lot more daunting.

the seal of the fatui was also a familiar thing. it was stamped on papers and issued on uniforms, badges and reports embossed with the dark four-pointed star. he had a stamp of it himself, in one of his drawers, though he’d admittedly swapped the usual black ink for a blood red. all the harbingers tended to put their own spin onto their paperwork, usually for ease of filing or to show off. signora had the corners of the seal spiked into flames, licking across orange ink. dottore had his in a variety of shades of blue, wire forming the outer ring.

pantalone had the circles in the star changed to mora.

he flipped it over just to be sure, reading the shining golden scrawl, but the writing in the corner confirmed it was from pantalone, the characteristic cursive ‘regrator’ justifying the weight of the paper. he doubted there was much more than a single page inside; pantalone was always rather concise, even if a touch flowery in the way he did it.

with a sigh, childe turned the envelope back over and fit a nail under the wax, neatly separating it from the textured paper. he pulled the letter out and turned it to the side: only one page, though it felt like three.

a laugh slipped from him. it felt forced. in the back of his mind, foul legacy chittered.

‘shut up,’ he muttered, tossing the empty envelope on his desk.

‘you will not wish for my silence much longer.’

childe paused, a finger under the flap of the folded paper. ‘what does that mean?’

‘what do you think it does?’

he shook off the cryptic response—though it’s been months since he ran into you, it’s been in a mood ever since—and unfolded the letter, beginning to read.

he almost wished he didn’t.

there’s only two paragraphs on the page—succinct as always, he thought numbly—but the paper weighed as much as a mountain in his hands.

it was a letter updating him on the hunt for the imposter. a common source of news for him, who couldn’t personally take part in it due to his foul legacy, but this…

no matter how many times he rereads the cursive scrawl, it refuses to register. the expensive paper wrinkles around where his thumb is pressing into it, his grip tightening with every passing moment in an attempt to combat the shake beginning to set in. the same words glare at him, unchanging, shimmering off the page like an oasis of poison.

he feels legacy crawl out of the cave in his head that it has sealed itself in, finally coming forward into the light of reality that childe is washed in. the abyss stares, inspecting the harsh gleam of truth, the shine that pierces into childe’s eyes and makes them water, the one that doesn’t go away even if he closes them. legacy chitters, almost like a laugh, and the paper finally falls from childe’s hands.

‘we were wrong,’ the paper says.

you were wrong, his mind repeats.

legacy reads the paper, cooing sadly at the news that you’ve been missing ever since zhongli cornered you. you’d slipped away in his shock, and he could feel the way it wanted to chase after you. the barrier between their minds was always rather thin, and he can feel it press against it, the sadness and concern bleeding into him.

legacy pawed at his mind, urging him to let it take over and find you, and childe couldn’t even find humor in the fact that a creature of the abyss was whining at him.

it was his fault. his fault, his, if he had just listened to legacy and to the call in his own heart, if he had stopped and thought like he was told, if he had recognized the fact that legacy would never turn down a fight-

something like pride washed into his mind from legacy but it didn’t register, the overwhelming realization that he’d tried to kill his god driving all thoughts from his mind.

and he would have succeeded were if not for the abyss.

the abyss itself, the liquid poison that clung to his skin and made him dream of stars fallen from the sky, the small part of it that he had to permanently take on to survive, that had been more right than his own mind. the very place known for being bloodthirsty and ruthless, that never turned down a fight and was the first to draw blood, had been kind to you. he should have noticed.

he was wrong. how could he be?

his foul legacy chittered, an equal mix of taunting him and asking to find you.

‘give up,’ it cooed, a bitter edge of false affection around its words. ‘you’ve already done enough.’

he hated that it was right.

he hated that were it not for legacy he would have hurt you further. he hated that he had the gall to try and taunt you, you, the one he’d sworn to devote his life to after he escaped the abyss. you who gave him a form strong enough to handle the devouring deep, you who gave him the strength to stand up and keep on, and he repaid you by hunting you down, claws bared.

and he hated that he would never be able to find you on his own.

‘let me find my god.’

‘my god,’ he weakly replied, but bile quickly rose in his throat. were you? did he even have the privilege of calling himself your follower if the only words he spoke to you were threats? could he call himself faithful when he pressed on after the abyss itself cried for mercy?

‘are you the one they held close?’

childe was going to be sick.

he wasn’t, he wasn’t, he was so awful that you had to turn to the abyss for comfort, his hands were so stained that even the highest of the high recoiled, weapon drawn. you, his light, the one thing that he could always rely on, the sole constant in his life, and he turned his back on you when you needed it most. he had willingly thrown it all away, blindly following a fake that took advantage of his faith. even when all the signs asked him to stop—to think—he had pressed onward, so blinded that a creature of sea and stars could see what he could not.

‘let me find them.’

he stared at his desk, at the work he still had to do, at the letter proclaiming his failure, at the wide window to his left that spanned nearly the entire wall, more than large enough for even his foul legacy, and made a decision.

ajax gave up his body, bitter in the knowledge that the only time he could only see you would be through another’s eyes, and sick in the understanding that it was all his fault.

#i encourage you to laugh at the visual of foul legacy bouncing through liyue like a game of pong to throw of childe. go on. it’s funny.#genshin sagau #sagau #genshin #genshin impact #self aware genshin #sagau impostor au #childe angst #sagau foul legacy #sagau tartaglia #foul legacy x reader #sagau childe #gn reader #childe #tartaglia #tartaglia angst #genshin x gn reader #gender neutral reader #also hc childe keeps the seals from pantalone and whenever he sends a letter back he fills the envelope with the seals.#i just. think it would be really funny. also hey pantalone gets his wax back so yay recycling(?) every messenger thinks it’s odd though.#to be fair childes already a Strange Character so i doubt they’d think much of it. probably think he’s sending mora which is funny when you #consider the fact that pantalone is like. insanely rich.#it’s like mailing jeff bezos a letter with a fistful of crumpled 1 dollar bills inside #fun drinking game: take a shot every time i use the words ‘foul legacy’ to refer to both legacy himself and childe’s past / reputation #FUCK I FORGOT A TITLE AGAIN SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT #H O W DO I ALWAYS DO THIS FUCK #teddy anon #:)

how do various genshin characters view their partners?

» neuvillette, albedo, ayaka, dehya, childe, venti, zhongli

NEUVILLETTE

neuvillette is a man who leads a most lonesome existence. he not only sacrificed the purpose of his existence to uphold the law in fontaine and to protect the nation from the title of the 'godless' nation but also sacrificed love and marital happiness. as such, this man will only ever let you in his heart if he finds you worth it— will you be able to sacrifice for him and the nation? would you stand with him as he trembled in turmoil? would you be the light that guides him out of the dark tunnel? would you be the rationality that helps him step out of the mud? would be the emotion that leads him away from injustice and towards the compassion of truth?

he will see you as his better half. the part of him that stands next to him, with equal rights and authority. he would find you magical, as though the missing half he had wanted to keep stashed away in the torn pocket of his heart forever, had reincarnated itself in your form. he would think that when you came, you bathed him in roses and serenity and he would rever your lotus feet and your beautiful existence. he will also be completely hooked on how you only ever enhanced the political and economic conditions of fontaine and with your presence, became the spring after a harsh winter not only in his life but for thousands of others who looked up to you. for him, a romantic partner is the better half of him, the half without which his own existence would be incomplete.

ALBEDO

another self-sacrificing man, except that he sacrifices himself in pursuit of the things he finds worthy. keeping that in mind, it is not an overstatement to say that he will want his partner to be highly compatible with him in thinking process and mentality. he will desire that they find value in the very things that he does and that they can get along with him. don't get me wrong, but this is a rational man. he will leave you if you resist too much change or are not willing to cooperate in the larger scheme of things. but he's also very aware and knows that the chances of finding someone like that are very slim, even more so with him being a homunculus.

this is why he sees his partner as his soulmate. he laughed when he realized what he was saying but it's true. and he stands by it. a soulmate who stands with him and even in front of him, should the chance ever arise. to protect and to stop. he has a lost past and, an uncertain future and his present remains string barely holding on to the possibilities of his existence in the grander scheme of things. although he never shows this vulnerability, he often feels overwhelmed. a partner who can calm him down, make him see the brighter side and resolve the dark clouds looming over his head is the ideal person for him. because he is a genius man, a brilliant scientist whose only weakness becomes his future and its possiblities but in his eyes, as long as you're there, it's much more a pleasant scenario to imagine.

AYAKA

the lovely camellia discovers its beauty in the winter snow. but need it consistently be subjected to the harshness of winter? of course not, and that is what she admires so much about you. her beauty is revered by those who know her for everyone knows of the harshness of life she was subjected to since a young age. but rarely did anyone make an effort to pull the camellia out of the brutality and into spring and summer to revel in the beauty around itself as well. for her, you brought her out of the veil of elegance and responsibility she wears and into the freedom of life and joy. she feels safe around you and in your presence, everything seems a bit sweeter, a bit more lively, a bit more happier.

she thinks of you as her saviour. although this seems to be an overstatement for the young lady of the kamisato clan, even ayato quite agrees when it comes to the weight his sister bears on a daily basis. ayaka believes that now she found someone around whom she can completely let go of herself and just be the naive child that died in the crossfire between hope and fate years ago.

DEHYA

the inherent peace and confidence that dehya emits, in spite of her loud and extroverted persona, is a subject of utmost admiration for all those who have experienced it. few know however, that pain it took for so young a lady to become this peaceful and benevolent. in her eyes, she is at peace with what she has left behind and yet whenever she settles in the night and thinks of her past and future, there is always a subject that makes her eyes fill with dew— a friend. she spoke of the subject with candace once, half drunk, almost asleep when she mumbled that there was barely one person who understood her. but other than candace, who was there? however weak or vulnerable she might have thought it seemed, it struck a cord in her friend's heart. 'i know someone was designed just for you, dehya, but please don't give up before you find them,'

and so she doesn't. in every child, in every animal, in everything or everyone around her, she sees love and peace.

but then you came. funny thing was, there was nothing outstanding about you other than that hydro vision. don't get me wrong but you were not the ever benevolent dehya or the reliable and trustworthy candace. you were the barely known lover of the seas and lands and skies that stumbled across the lands, looking for their own satisfaction. and then you saw her.

dehya sees you as a best friend and a soulmate in one. she believes in fate and the guiding stars merely because she met you. in the way you donate, give away even your heart and soul to those who ask for it, the nobility yet serenity that you possess makes her head over heels for you.

CHILDE

the eleventh of the fatui harbingers is a most curious character indeed. charm, cunning, valour and youthfulness when combined with the influence of the fatui, make one a confusing character. although the smile and airs and graces he presents himself with suggest otherwise, he feels like a puppet in the silly, silly game of his queen. and yet like a marionette stuck in love and bound by a promise, he continues to sway at the rhythm set by his tsarina. he wants to run away but what is a puppet without its master?

he sees you as a liberator. not a saviour, a liberator. a liberator because you, much like a miner, explore the depths of his heart with a lamp in one hand and a sword in the other as you brave his monsters and help him find himself in the darkness he once lost himself in. he finds you the kindest person he has ever met— not because you do not know how to inflict harm but because you chose not to. he never saw you as the kind of person he'd fall for but when you put your hand over his heart and spoke of the ultimate truth of his existence, it was as if you had ripped his heart out and held it in your palm. and the funny thing was, he did not want you to put it back in. you breathed courage into him when you nudged him forward; when you respected and admired him so much when he was clearly so utterly inferior; when you let him guide you sometimes despite knowing he was wrong and gently fixed everything at the end.

he can find his way through the dark but he wants someone to hold his hand as he does so; like a butterfly, he pushes his way out, fights and fights and fights but the ultimate source of the spirit, the urge, the strength is you. he begs every day to find his liberation through you— the most divine being he has ever witnessed.

VENTI

when a man is tired, he seeks his god. but where does a god go when he is tired? in spite of his carefree and generally shameless nature, the archon of wind knows his responsibility and is prepared to rise to power should the need ever arise and hence he ensures a certain distance between mortals and himself. he does not care whatever pretty pictures he paints about gods and humans mingling in his beautiful yet treacherous poems, deep down, he knows that gods do not mix well with humans.

but minutes of flirting and joyous talk turn to several weeks of adoration when the god finally realizes what he is up to. and he stops himself at a crucial moment, indeed he does— but when you do not initiate conversation, do not even wave, he knows that his presence or absence has little impact on people's lives. and hence he continues courting and playing around you once again and by the time you completely trust him and confess, he sheds tears of grief at his misery and fate when he finds peace under lady venessa's shade. he could not say no, not when he knew that he loved you and you loved him back but his voice was slightly choked because he knew he would be the death of you one day.

he sees you as the last link to his humanity. he knows the great calamity he has feared for centuries is looming right below the horizon; he knows how it will play out, he is the god of wind after all, there is little that escapes his notice. so when he caresses you gently, presses a soft kiss, deep inside, his heart breaks too much as he visualises the day he will open his wings once again and bring destruction upon you.

just a little more, he thinks. i won't become a god without telling her of the truth of my past and future, he thinks again. there is gentleness in your eyes as he stares deeply into them and he cannot help but scream in agony when he visualises them overflowing with warm pools, cascading down the expanse of your cheek— and he, the almighty wind god, can barely stand and accept it as his fate as he watches the destruction of his existence you bring in your wake.

ZHONGLI

in the eyes of the geo archon, all humans were his children. in his head, he had forsaken love the moment guizhong left; there was only a calamity that awaited him now, not love or romance or peace. he is confident in his strength and ability, he is the lord of the earth and everything underneath it, after all.

jokes on him, it does not take wind or water or fire or ice to defeat earth but nature instead. he is surprised when someone so simple as you shake his entire belief system, the thought process and wisdom of a god older than time and spirits. when the roots of your confident assertiveness break through the barrier of his partially arrogant yet rock-hard earth, he is left trembling with humbleness. not physically but completely on the mental plane. he is further annoyed when you do not seem to notice at all— merely smile and share yet another philosophy whereas he can only listen, the man who is known essentially to speak.

he sees you as his protector. although he will always be the rock-hard barrier for you, on the mental plane, only you can keep him sane. he is a stable god, in control of the things happening around him but he gives you complete control of your domain, which is his mind and heart as you infiltrate it with your purity and ease him into love once again— only then does he realize that love is the freedom that liberates yet strengthens us, and thereupon all his emotions, his vulnerabilities, his past, present, future, secrets and fantasies are unravelled at your feet, all at your mercy. but he likes trusting you, he likes loving you.
