(Loveless marriage, angst(some fluff) )

It was late and Ayato wasn't back yet, the food on the table that you lovingly made had gone cold and so did the wind. You weren't surprised but you still felt dissappointed.

Just the other night, Ayato swore he'd be more caring towards you and that he'd fix this loveless marriage. You were happy of course but part of you knew all along that his words were just empty promises. Still, you wanted to be wrong.

An hour later, Ayato returned looking disheveled. His coat was messy, his shirt unbuttoned and his tie around his neck.

His neck.

The collar of his shirt had traces of smeared lipstick all the way up to his mouth, his lips and his cheeks. Your gaze was fixed to the corner of his lips, the same one that smiled so lovingly to you during your wedding. The same lips that used to kiss you every night. Ayato noticed you staring at him,

"Don't be surprised, you knew this would happen someday" , he said coldly.

You had no word to say, you were so heartbroken and dissappointed that you didn't even have the energy to hit him or curse at him, or even cry. You just sat there motionless.

"Why her?", your voice trembling, barely a whisper.

"What more do you want from me Ayato? Ive done my part in being loyal to you and serving as your wife.", you finally say

"I don't know", ayato said.

You stood up, reaching over to ayato's lips to wipe away the traces of that other woman. Then removing his coat, putting it in the laundry basket.

"I think its better if we end this", he sighed

Why was it so easy for him to say that? Did he ever love you? As you realized the finality of that statement your heartbeat fastened, your hands trembled and you felt a pit in your chest, like someone had just tore away your beating heart and crushed it.

"Say it to me Ayato, tell me that you don't want me anymore, tell me that you want her"

No matter how much it would destroy you, you wanted to hear it from him. You wanted to know for sure that there was no chance of fixing your marriage and that Ayato didn't love you anymore.

"Listen, I-"

"Say it", you yelled. "If you ever loved me, say it and mean it."

"I don't love you anymore, this was just a marriage of convinience, for political reasons. I love her and i want to spend my life with her.", ayato declared as if he had waited his entire life to say this.

"Goodbye Ayato, I'll never stop loving you."

(1 year later)

You were walking in the streets of Liyue, it was Lantern Rite and you watched lanterns soaring up the sky, alone. Until you felt someone beside you. You recognized that perfume.

"Ayato?"

"It seems fate has brought us together yet again"

You noticed his tired face and how solemn he had looked but you didnt mind, you walked alongside each other, just like the past. His stride matched yours even your footsteps were in sync. Finally, you stopped at a hill to admire the scenery.

"I apologize, for everything", his voice trembled.

"Why, Ayato?"

"I've never stopped loving you, even as our distance grew my heart still remained close to you."

"Then why-"

"In truth, my duty as the commissioner is no safe task, i have been the target of multiple assassination attempts but of course i didn't mind, it was part of my job after all. However, people realized that the threat on my life was not as effective as they had hoped so they deliberately targetted the only thing i cared about."

You were silent, unable to say anything. You tried telling yourself that you didnt care about this man but why was there tears spilling from your eyes.

"I couldn't risk losing you, i much preferred if you were happier somewhere else even if that meant i was not by your side."

You noticed Ayato's mask slipping, his usually calm and stoic demeanour wavered as he stared at the distance, unable to look you in the eyes.

"Well, you're quite the strategist aren't you?", you joked, trying to lighten the situation.

Ayato smiled. His smile was almost a stranger to you.

The both of you spent the rest of the night talking about your favourite memories, reminiscing over the times you had together. Even joking about how Ayato used to be such a romantic.

"What's your favourite memory?"

"Hard to say when there's so many but i remember the time when you forgot an umbrella while it was raining hard in Narukami shrine. Your clothes were dripping wet and i covered you with my coat while we ran to take cover but then you slipped so we just decided to bask in the rain and dance along to the rhythm of the raindrops."

"Then we kissed", you added, "it was our first"

Ayato couldnt help but smile widely at that memory. But alas, this night had to end.

"It's not too late Ayato-"

"This isn't meant to be y/n, but jut because we can't be together doesn't mean I've stopped loving you"

You held your breath as his words pierced your heart yet again. Your body felt heavy as if you were falling to the deepest darkest trench as you see the light at the end of the tunnel dim.

You tried looking at the peaceful scenery, people gathering around the harbour excitedly and the lantern that floated towards the moon effortlessly, some dissapearing in the vast sky filled with tiny specks of light and some lanterns that failed to fly.

"The moon is beautiful isn't it?"

"It always is."

I saw a post where a guy cheated on his gf and when his gf found out he said dont touch her 😀 if that happened to me ill simply 😊🔪🔪 but it would be a good angst trope right- tell me if you want to be tagged and what characters.

I feel like the ones whod be the most likely to do this is ayato- it hurts my heart but if you caught him cheating, if he even cheated on you he probably considered every outcome since hes so smart 🙄 so he would technically only cheat if he deems it worth the trouble, that someone must be really special, more than you and the relationship you built for years and the ups and downs together.

And he cares about the people he loves, which is why you thought maybe he never loved you? When you looked at him hurt and the girl he was with, he would tell you not to touch her.

What exactly was the point of saying that when all you could do is freeze or just run from this. You wished things never turned out this way, all the promises he made were meaningless. You thought your relationship was perfect but there were things he hid from youfar too well. What else did he hide?

There are probably 2 outcomes, he either realizes his lost or continues his relationship and makes it official. Either ways, its a lost cause.

Mad for you

Dottore thought that no one could outrank him in his insanity and experiments but you proved him wrong.

( random fic bcs i want to feel smart 💜💜 and dottore supremacy always )

AND SRY IF ITS OOC IDK HOW TO WRITE DOTTORE- HIS PERSONALITY IS JUST 😍 AND LIKE HIS CONFIDENCE- SMT ILL NEVER HAVE 😃😃

.

.

How would he even begin? You were certainly a unique specimen in his eyes. He watched you in your akademiya days, creating life out of inanimate objects, even harnessing the power of the abyss unaffected.

What were you? A god?

He despised you. He despised the way everyone liked you, or maybe it was respect or even fear but the power you held over the akademiya, pulling strings in the background and eradicating anyone who opposed you with ease and secrecy, you were unbeatable.

How could someone have everything? Charm, intellect and even beauty. Her personality was of course just a facade to hide her true nature, he thought.

He knew you werent the persoj you created ik public when he saw you perfectly executed and picked apart living beings so casually. Even humming along to a tune he'll never forget.

Dottore thought you were the epitome of perfection, so he didn't understand your goal which was to create the perfect human, one that could surpass gods in all manners. Why would you need to when you exist?

When he was expelled from the akademiya, he hated how you werent just because more people liked you. It hurt his ego, how someone else was "better" than him.

Years past and your impression had left a permanent mark on him, he wished to see you again. He was longing for an interaction with you no matter how brief or frivolous. You were never even close in the akademiya besides being lab partners.

So what was this feeling?

A weakness, he thought

He could not afford to feel these things but he knew even in the deepest trench of his cold unfeeling heart he could never harm you. You were far too important.

.

"Lord Dottore, a guest from afar is here to see you"

You found him before he found you

"Hm? Bring her in" he knew who it was, but your intentions remained a mystery.

You entered his office, full of test tubes and papers. Some jars filled with "specimens" and a bright blue vial. It was neater than you expected.

"To what do i owe the pleasure y/n" his voice sounding hoarse yet amused

" i'll keep it brief, i want a collaboration, us as equal partners. Im sure you'd be interested in this and besides you're the most suitable person for this experiment."

He looked at you, just stared at you for a while like he was trying to read through you. But what you didn't know was that he would oblige, no matter what experiment it was. It wasnt the research he was interested in, it was you.

But he tried to hide his true emotions so he laughed, his usual maniacal laugh, one that was proven to be deathly to others but not you. "And what exactly makes you think i'd be interested?"

" because we could surpass gods, with my finding. Create a world of our own full of humans that will obey our every command "

He lifted his eyebrows, he truly was interested now, not only you but your finrings too. He understood the meaning laced in your words. He understood that he had to betray the tsaritsa but that was an easy choice, it was his plan anyways.

But his ego wouldnt ever let him give in that easily. He stepped around his desk and leaned towards you with his condescending smile.

"Hm? From what i understand, id be losing a lot from this collaboration, so if you want my help, beg for it"

You weren't one to beg, you had too much pride to go down on your knees and beg him just to satisfy his ego. So you went to your last resort.

You lunged towards him in hoped of immobilizing him to have him in your mercy instead of the opposite. But he was far quicker and stronger than you, using his sword to clash yours in such power that it pushed you to the nearest wall.

" such a pity, you used to be far more powerful i suppose sentiments really are a weakness "

Whatever you felt certainly wasn't right, how could you feel so aroused when your life was on the line. Maybe it was the fact that you knew he would do no harm to you but that's never a certainty. Dottore is a really unpredictable man.

So unpredictable that you didnt realize he leaned in, hie lips touching yours, biting your lips and his hands pressed both sides of your cheeks, to let his tounge in. But why did you kiss him back?

It lasted longer than you would like to admit and as he released you from his grip he smirked, that insolent smirk. He kicked your legs apart and you lost your balance, falling to the ground, On your knees as you stared up at him.

"My my~ what a sight to behold. Such a powerful mind bowing down to me. I suppose i'll consider your offer afterall"

Pantalone headcanons

You and Pantalone were close, close enough to be on talking terms and occassional tea. Maybe you were wrong but you could read through him and his facade, his indifferent attitude and lust for money was but a mask. One to protect himself from things he considers unbeneficial.

But thoughts are not always true afterall, maybe these thoughts were what you wished. When you worked alongst him you started gaining feelings towards him. Of course, you knew it was impossible between him and his job something like romance would never work.

"Ms y/n, Lord Pantalone requests your presence", your assistant said. It snapped you back to reality, what were you even thinking?

You knocked on his office door, money was no problem for you but you certainly were far from equal to him in terms of moras. His office proved so, the grand entrance, a wooden door carved by the finest artist in inazuma, plated with gold and the handle made of pure gold. Not to mention the interior which was luxurious but not overwhelming. It surely showed off his wealth but it wasn't tacky, more so elegant. The intricate carvings on the ceiling and the murals on the windows were just a background that made his wooden desk shine.

His desk was neat, papers stacked accordingly and not a single thing out of place. His smile plastered on his face eternal, he stood up and greeted you, "Well, hello y/n it has certainly been a long time, how was fontaine? You certainly kept me waiting, not replying to my letters" he chuckled.

Arrogant, you thought, but you loved that about him. You stared at him, unintionally but everything about him seemed so intentional from his perfume that smelled woody and the coats he wore made of the finest materials.

"Cat got your tounge?"

Have you been staring too long? You didnt even realize. You couldnt hold this anymore, you needed to do something desperately. Your feelings were overflowing and passion burnt out from your heart. Its no lie that you love him, it wasn't just a crush it was truly love.

"Its hard to be around you when i like you and i know you dont feel the same way", you said meekly. Maybe you shouldnt have, what if it ruined everything you had. Or what if he thought of you as a fool.

"I know darling, don't mistake me for a fool, i see the way you look at me every time" he smiled, but it was a genuine one not just the cunning smile he put on display for business. He was a proud man, he thought he would never say it back so thats all he said.

"You may leave now, if thats all"

What? Was this all a game, a joke to entertain him? He was the one who called you, was this the reason? All sorts of questions rushed to your brain and you wanted to run out, anywhere but near him.

You walked towards the door slowly, hiding how hurt you felt, the fact that he barely acknowledged you and told you to go as if it meant nothing. But something stopped you, maybe he regretted it. Pantalone held your hand in a bruising grip right as you were about to touch the door handle, he stepped closer to you. Enough to feel his warm breath.

"What? You didnt think id let you go so easily wouldnt you?"

He caged you around his arms and helf your waist, he hesitated but soon lust overcame him, his lips nearing towards your own catching it into a deep passionate kiss.

"Open up", he demanded. You slowly opened your mouth to let his tounge explore your mouth. His tounge reached every corner of your mouth while his hands rubbed your hips. The kiss ended with the both of you gasping for air.

He smirked at you, his eyes full of passion still. "Lets continue this elsewhere shal we"
