haunted by math | alhaitham || genshin impact one shot

published on october 31st, 2023.

pairing: alhaitham x reader (friendship)

genre: fluff, slice of life

word count: 1.7k words.

synopsis: your best friend, alhaitham, surprises you on halloween. he suddenly felt extroverted, so he did something out of the ordinary. that’s the gist of it.

warning: lowercase is intended, alhaitham might be slightly out of character (?).

a/n: happy halloween, folks. i’m finally releasing a genshin fic after so many months :’) enjoy! hopefully this is funny enough for you guys.

“hey alhaitham, are you going to the haunted house on halloween? this organization on campus is hosting one.”

“i don’t see why i should waste my time on something as nonsensical as a haunted house. it’s fake anyway.” alhaitham responds to your question while reading a novel of some sort. he is always reading something, and he can somehow manage a conversation while reading as well. he’s the multitasking expert at this rate.

“even though it’s fake, it fits the october vibe!” you retort back with some excitement. you really want to see how alhaitham will behave in a haunted house. after all, he doesn’t seem like the type to get startled easily. but would he get startled from a sudden jump scare? that’s a sight you want to see.

“we can just carve out some pumpkins like we always do,” alhaitham exclaims once more. flipping a page of the novel he’s reading, he glances at you briefly. “i thought you said you wanted that to be an annual tradition. what’s with the sudden change of ideas, [your name]?”

you didn’t want to directly tell alhaitham that you want to see him startled, so you came up with another reason.

“just thought it would be fun to enter a haunted house. you have never been to one, right?” that’s a nice save, if you say so myself.

“you’re not wrong, but i don’t think i would enjoy something like a haunted house. i mean, i know that everything is fake, so it wouldn’t be too scary, would it?”

“why are you so logical…” you said, your lips forming a small frown.

“logic only continues to defy emotion, [your name]. that’s how this world works.”

you have to find a way to convince alhaitham to join you on this haunted house adventure, but alhaitham just isn’t budging.

so you just decided to let it go for now. you’ll bother him on another day.

time skip to halloween evening, which is when the haunted house is taking place. and alhaitham still won’t come with you to the haunted house, so you decided to bring kaveh, his roommate, with you instead. at least kaveh knows how to have fun in this sense.

when you told alhaitham that you will be going to the haunted house with kaveh, alhaitham tells you to bring some headphones with you because kaveh screams pretty freaking loud.

if only you knew that alhaitham was a little worried about you heading to the haunted house with kaveh. perhaps he is a tiny bit jealous for some reason. maybe he is afraid that kaveh will take up his best friend title just because he refuses to go to this haunted house with you. but that would be petty, right?

actually, this is bothering him because you didn’t want to carve pumpkins with him this year. you’re really persistent on attending this haunted house, huh? so be it.

if only you knew why he refused to attend the haunted house with you. guess you will only find out soon enough, would you? you might see it as a form of rejection, but alhaitham sees this as a great opportunity to show that he is the better person to be your best friend.

with kaveh gripping your arm firmly and walking slightly behind you, you both enter the haunted house. kaveh is just as tense as you were, a bit startled by the fake zombies dressed up in suits, as if they are teachers. there is a chalkboard that had shaky handwritings, in which, give off the idea that these zombie teachers wrote on the chalkboard.

there are also blood stains on the floor. it was fake, but the haunted house itself is dark. you only had a flashlight and a scared 6 ft blonde dude with you. there is also spooky music that only intensifies the tension in the haunted house. the theme of this haunted house is an abandoned school, it seems.

walking past the chalkboard, you hear someone pop up behind you and kaveh all of the sudden. this someone lets out a loud scream, startling both you and kaveh. seems to be an actor, who has a “decaying” looking face, like a zombie student, thanks to the help of makeup. this also caused kaveh to let out a shrilly scream. amused by this, you let out a chuckle. hearing you chuckle only causes kaveh to laugh along too, also a bit amused by the scream that he released from the jump scare.

kaveh was now holding onto your arm now in a tight grip, even more tensed up by what will come up next.

“[your name], why did you make me come here…” kaveh says, his voice is a little shaky.

“because i thought it would be fun. it’s scary, but you have to admit that this is entertaining.” you responded.

kaveh only huffs as a response. he does admit that he is having fun, but will he tell you that to your face? no.

“clearly, you’re amused by my screaming. what are you talking about?”

“i screamed too, kaveh. that startled me.”

“did you?” kaveh asks you. you can imagine kaveh’s face expression, where one of his eyebrows are raised up in suspicion. well, you’re imagining because the haunted house is dark.

“yes, i did,” you respond.

“no, you’re totally lying,” kaveh said back.

“you didn’t hear me scream thanks to your loud ass scream, kaveh. i didn’t think that your vocals can go that high. impressive,” you said.

after hearing kaveh huffing to what you said once more, you two continue walking. in the hallways, there is a body bag just leaning against the wall. actually, there are multiple of them, just lying around this section of the haunted house.

there was also bloody footprints on the floor and bloody handprints on the walls. clearly, it’s paint, but it still spooks you and kaveh out.

and then, the both of you walk through a door, a door that has a sign sitting at the right side of it that says ‘room 042’. seems to be a normal classroom of some sort.

all of the sudden you hear some quiet chanting?

feeling a little tense, you reluctantly walk into the classroom, with kaveh gripping onto your arm tightly now. it’s clear he can hear the chanting too, understanding what this actor is saying.

focusing on your hearing, you try to figure out what this actor is saying. you take a glance at the actor’s appearance. they are wearing a suit and a tie, with his face all zombified. seems to be a zombie teacher. for some reason, you can recognize this person, but you can’t put your finger on it.

“the circumference is the diameter multiplied by pi.”

“the pythagorean theorem is a-squared plus b-squared equals c-squared.”

“the integral of sin x is -cos x.”

“velocity is the change in displacement over the change of time.”

“the derivative of log x with a base of 10 is—“

holy shit, that’s pretty fucking horrifying.

immediately, you start screaming in terror. because you are definitely not a math person, these math equations and formulas are making your brain go haywire. actually, you’re screaming louder than kaveh ever did. as a response, you start running out of the classroom, leaving kaveh behind.

kaveh wasn’t that afraid of this because he’s an architect, an occupation where he deals with calculus and trigonometry on a regular basis. it also seems like he knows who is chanting these formulas too.

“you really should apologize to her later. [your name] really wanted to go to this haunted house with you, but who knew that you were an actor here. you finally decided to come out of that shell of yours, huh? i didn’t think you’d be the type to sign up for something like this,” kaveh says to no one in particular. however, he knows who is in this room. he then leaves the room too, his footsteps fading into silence.

kaveh does meet up with you at the end of the haunted house, in which, took a lot of bravery out of him. those actors dress as zombie students chasing him gave him quite an adrenaline rush. these zombie students have their brains exposed, wearing clothes with blood stains on it. clearly it’s fake, but kaveh was startled when they popped out of nowhere and started chasing him.

after the zombie students chase him, kaveh enters the cafeteria section, where there is an actor dressed as a lunch lady chopping up…is that a freaking corpse?! feeling very tensed up and his heart rate racing, kaveh does exit the cafeteria once the lunch lady lets out a creepy laugh. this laugh sounded genuinely evil and maniacal, as if they are enjoying chopping up a corpse like it’s an animal or something (this isn’t entirely wrong in this case, if ykyk).

once kaveh reaches at the end of the haunted house, he sees you waiting for him at a nearby table. kaveh then runs over to you and starts shaking you, wondering why did you just leave him in there by himself.

“well, those math formulas are scary.”

“okay, fair enough. guess they can be scary when you aren’t a math person.” kaveh said with understanding while laughing, a bit amused by your screams.

“you really can scream louder than me, huh?”

“oh, shush it.”

after that, you and kaveh walk back home together to log out for the evening.

on a random day in november, you are with alhaitham in the library. you were commenting about the haunted house and how scary it was, talking about one of the actors chanting physics and calculus equations. in addition, you also mention how it is a shame that alhaitham didn’t attend the haunted house.

if only you knew that he did attend the haunted house, but not in the way you’re thinking.

alhaitham is silently listening on your commentary, a bit satisfied by your comments about his acting. he is your best friend after all, so seeing you scream out of that room while he was chanting math formulas is amusing to him. but he does admit that he feels bad for spooking you out tremendously. he thinks about what kaveh said to him on that halloween night. he really should apologize to you for refusing to attend the haunted house with you. but for now, he will keep this actor thing a secret from you for now.

after all, he believes that you being haunted by math is entertaining. your logic ironically goes out of the window thanks to something so logical like math. in fact, your emotions take over when something logical like math is involved.

logic will always defy emotion, wouldn’t it?

prized possession | dan heng || honkai star rail one shot

published on october 22nd, 2023.

pairing: dan heng x reader

genre: fluff, with a sprinkle of jelly + possessive dan heng

word count: who knows at this point, but it is kind of short anyway.

synopsis: your boyfriend, dan heng, gets jealous over you talking with another guy that he doesn’t know. that’s the gist of it.

warning: lowercase is intended! there might be some spoilers if you are not caught up with dan heng IL’s lore. dan heng IL has me on my KNEES fr. i’m aware that “the guy that should not be named rn” and dan heng know each other. they just don’t know each other in this story.

it is a normal day in the xianzhou lufou, with the clear, sunny skies shining with glory.

along with a great number of cycranes soaring in the skies and the residents’ chattering the day away, xianzhou lufou is clearly a nation specializing in business. new ships arrive at the docks of xianzhou lufou as well, dropping off raw materials and such. starskiffs also does the same, picking up materials from xianzhou lufou and shipping them to a different places around the world. trade is one of the many reasons why the xianzhou lufou businesses flourish.

although it is the complete opposite in sclaegorge waterscape, a location that is a part of xianzhou lufou. this place is mostly secluded and not many people go here. however, it is a place that withholds xianzhou’s history. it is the place where dan feng was reincarnated into dan heng, the person he is now.

at the moment, dan heng is meditating near a pond in scalegorge waterscape, its own quietness and tranquility is pleasant to him. the sounds of water rippling from a nearby waterfall is also relaxing to listen to.

dan heng recalls how he and bailu explored many different parts of xianzhou lufou to discover more lore about dan feng, his past incarnation. he has to stand in the shadow of dan feng for the rest of his life, but he has come to accept this fact. it is something he can’t change, however, he is aware that he is his own person. this new revelation has unlocked a new perspective of his life. for once, he is alright with how his life is heading right now.

while he was meditating, he notices a familiar figure in the distance. or perhaps, he senses a similar feeling that he knows all too well. in other words, he is acknowledging their presence. when he opens his eyes and observes his surroundings, he sees you. however, you don’t seem to notice him yet.

why is that the case?

well, that’s because you were communicating with someone, that someone being another guy. someone that dan heng doesn’t entirely know. for some reason, he has a strong urge to protect you from this man, especially when this man is carrying a large coffin.

hearing you laugh because of what the unknown man has said caused an uncomfortable jab in his chest. seeing you smile because of another reason besides him makes him feel anxious and uneasy. he tries to meditate again to calm down his frantic mind, but the thought of you being with another guy makes him shake in his boots.

is he jealous? no way. he trusts you enough to know that you wouldn’t cheat behind his back. so why does he feel so tense when he sees you with this guy? he figures that it is one of your colleagues, but you two seem closer than that.

in fact, this guy is far more handsome than he is. with his luscious golden hair and his light green eyes. it’s only natural that he feels…anxious about this, right?

he’s afraid of losing you after all. he loves you too much to let you go.

and so, while you were casually conversing with this tall, handsome guy, you suddenly feel something wrapped around your waist protectively. looking down for a second, you see a turquoise-colored tail that you know all too well.

the guy that you were talking to was also astonished and confused by dan heng’s sudden appearance. he seems intrigued though as if he is aware that he knows who dan heng is.

looking back up at dan heng, you raise an eyebrow at dan heng. it’s like you’re silently asking him what is he doing, completely unaware of how tense he is right now. in fact, you are slightly taken aback by his sudden appearance as well since he just appears out of nowhere. you didn’t even hear his footsteps!

your guy friend introduces himself politely.

“greetings, kind sir. i’m luocha, a merchant from a foreign land.” he does a polite bow as well to express how genuine he is.

“you’re more than a merchant, luocha. your expertise on herbal medicine is fascinating.” you comment, a bit amused that luocha is actually introducing himself to dan heng. dan heng knows that you’re just being nice by praising him like that, but that statement made him a little insecure, deep down.

“you’re not wrong, i am skilled in herbal medicine and help those in need.” luocha chuckles, he nods in agreement. you only sigh and tell your boyfriend that you are helping luocha collect some herbs for pharmaceutical purposes.

dan heng slightly becomes less tense when you clarified luocha's statement. perhaps dan heng is still iffy about luocha, but he trusts you enough that luocha is telling the truth.

luocha then briefly tells you that he will see you later because he has some other matters to attend to. it seems like he knows that he is making dan heng uncomfortable for some unknown reason. he’s being considerate. in addition, luocha has a hunch that dan heng was silently telling him that you belong to him.

after all, he knows that vidyaharas are loyal, but territorial creatures.

when luocha leaves with his giant coffin, you also tell him your farewell. the grip from dan heng’s tail tightens a little, as if he doesn’t want you going anywhere right now. noticing this, you wonder why dan heng is so tense around luocha.

giving him a hug, you want to soothe his nerves. dan heng, a bit taken aback by this, immediately calms down when he feels your warmth and closeness.

you always know how to calm his anxieties. however, he is still insecure, but he decides that he will keep them quiet. he thinks that he shouldn’t worry your pretty little head about it.

his tail wraps around your body in multiple ways, entrapping you in his tail like a warm blanket. his tail is always very gentle and comfortable to you. the end of his tail starts ticking your cheek. you can feel how fluffy it is.

dan heng hugs you back, but his arms hug you such a way that he is protecting you from danger, even though there isn’t anything dangerous in scalegorge waterscape right now.

it’s like he is telling others to back off, just like what he did to luocha. without you noticing, he was staring down at luocha in the most subtle way possible. perhaps that is the real reason why luocha left. but you wouldn’t know that, would you? he thinks that it is only natural that he wants to protect you because he cherishes you deeply. this isn’t entirely wrong, is it?

you are his. he is yours. makes sense, right?

“where did you come from, dan heng?” you ask dan heng out of the blue, he did just pop out of nowhere while you were walking around xianzhou lufou with luocha.

“i do come to scalegorge waterscape sometimes. after all, it’s a place that holds many memories of my past life. i just saw you with luocha while i was meditating.” dan heng explains. it makes sense. dan heng then tightens his hug around you, not wanting to let you go yet.

“do you know why luocha carries that coffin everywhere? who is in that coffin?” dan heng then asks you a question, a bit tense about what you are going to say. you raise your eyebrows at this question, not even considering the fact why luocha is carrying a coffin in the first place.

“you know, i never thought of that.” you said. dan heng looks at you with one of his eyebrows raising now, a bit surprised that you didn’t think of that. dan heng then looks a little cautious, his expression looks genuinely concerned.

“i have a feeling that luocha is more than he meets the eye.” dan heng says with a hint of caution. “you should just avoid him at all costs, [your name]. what if he hurts you?” he adds.

“well, luocha can also be a mortician, which is why he is carrying that coffin around.” you exclaim. that’s the most logical explanation, but dan heng is still tense about this.

he didn’t like that you are friends with luocha. he doesn’t even trust luocha right now. is he being understandably cautious or overly paranoid? whatever it is, he doesn’t like the idea of you hanging around with luocha.

“a merchant, a doctor, and a mortician? can someone have that many occupations?”

“that’s a fair argument,” you replied. rubbing your chin in thought, you think about other reasons why luocha would carry a coffin around everywhere.

“[your name], i think you should just stay away from him for now on. i don’t trust him.”

“now you just sound jealous.” you respond with a hint of playfulness in your tone.

“i’m not jealous. i’m just making sure my girlfriend stays safe.” dan heng says.

“sure, keep telling yourself that.” you said, your teasing tone clearly distinct in your voice.

dan heng sighs in frustration, realizing that he can’t really change your mind. maybe he is jealous, but would he admit it to your face? no.

“i’m not jealous, i swear.”

“are you sure? would you like me to provide evidence that led me to this conclusion?”

burying his face into your shoulder, his cheek gently nuzzles with the skin of your neck. his cyan horns are close to your face now, seeing how sturdy they look up close. his horns emit a soft turquoise colored light. it’s barely noticeable right now, but it is there.

“that’s not necessary. i am just afraid of losing you, dear.”

“so you are jealous?”

“good riddance.” he sighs again and his turquoise colored tail continues to embrace you warmly. his arms are still around you too. after all, this is a very comfortable position to dan heng. you are always a good person to hug thanks to your soft skin and your gentle nature. in fact, the hug becomes more firmer and gentle, as if he doesn’t want to let you go out of his sight.

lightly chuckling in amusement, you rub dan heng’s back softly.

“your response just revealed your answer, honey,” you said gently. good aeons, dan heng loves it when you refer to him as cute nicknames like that.

“it’s only natural that i want to protect who i love though.” dan heng retorts back. you hum in thought, knowing that is a good explanation.

you are a gemstone that is more precious to a diamond, a gemstone that outshines the other gemstones. you are the only gemstone he has eyes on. you are perfect in his eyes. he is lucky that he found you first.

you are his and he is yours.

no one else will take you away from him, and no one else will take him away from you.

after all, you are his prized possession.

new look | dan heng || honkai star rail one shot

published on august 9th, 2023.

pairing: dan heng x reader

genre: fluff

word count: idk, but it’s kind of short?

synopsis: you woke up to your boyfriend, dan heng, in his new form. that’s the gist of it.

warning: lowercase is intended! there’s some slight spoilers from the new story quest (not from a lore standpoint. it’s in terms of bosses and dan heng’s new look). dan heng’s new look has me on a chokehold fr.

hazy vision, heart rate is accelerating…your head is spinning…the strong stench of your blood…your shallow breathing…that’s what you can only focus on.

last time you recall, you were fighting phantylia in her little domain along with general jing yuan. then next thing you knew, your vision went black. the flowers she summoned continues to drain your life, weakening your strength even more. general jing yuan was concerned for your health before the fight, but you said that you were fine.

general jing yuan trusted you, so he allowed you to fight along side him to defeat this lord ravager. he did have a feeling that he shouldn’t have done that though. but you were so persistent on helping jing yuan that he couldn’t say no. that determined look in your eye was so strong and powerful.

before you completely passed out from exhaustion and your injuries, you saw this cyan colored dragon come from the ground…? where did that…come from? who is this cyan dragon? seems like it finished the job of defeating phantylia though.

a tall figure appears in front of you before you completely passed out. his long black hair flows down his back…he stands in front of you protectively…is this a god hearing your blessing? what is going on exactly? who is this guy? why is he protecting you? why is he look so hot- (a/n: just like me fr)

but before you could even process what was happening after phantylia was defeated, you passed out. what a good time to pass out…

without knowing how much time has passed, you woke up in someone’s arms. your vision still a little blurry, you rub your eyes a little to adjust your vision. looking up, you’re met with…oh wait, you remember this guy. recognizing his cyan horns, you wondered if you’re actually dead or something.

staring at him up close, you realize how gorgeous this guy is. his cyan eyes look alluring to look at. no, you’re still loyal to your boyfriend dan heng. however, you can’t help, but admire his features. the gods above must’ve gave him the special treatment. you thought you were in heaven, so you ask a random question out loud.

“am i dead…?”

the unspecified dragon guy looks at you funny, as if he’s silently asking you what do you mean by that question. not only that, he’s confused why you’re asking such a question.

“you’re perfectly alive, [your name]. i was extremely worried about you. you should’ve stayed out of that phantylia fight after you fought off those marastruck…” he responds to your question. wait, how did he know that you were fighting some marastruck soldiers…? there’s no other way…unless…

“what. how did you know that? i am dead, aren’t i…you’re some unknown aeon, aren’t you?” the dragon looking guy looks at you with his eyebrows furrowing, he’s so confused.

“did something hit your head? you’re spouting complete nonsense again,” he asks you. he continues speaking, looking up at the clear skies. “to be fair, you’re always speaking nonsense from time to time. not only that, you did just woke up. anyways, phantylia is defeated now…hopefully xianzhou is safe now.” he said lightly with this slight hopeful tone in his voice. he adds this sweet line after, which completely makes your heart skip a beat.

“and i’m relieved that you’re okay, [your name].”

huh…so this dragon guy knows your name and he’s also very sweet with you. that’s kind of suspicious, you thought. in addition, this is the first time that you’ve seen him in your life. so really, you find this weird. but do you mind it? kind of, you feel like you’re cheating on your boyfriend, dan heng. well, at least you’ll have stories to tell once you come back to the astral express.

you can’t wait to tell dan heng what happened today…you considered that he might get slightly jealous over this dragon dude though, which you are excited to see.

you grab your phone and start texting dan heng, telling him about your adventures. you then hear a ringtone from the dragon guy’s pocket…

the dragon guy grabs his phone and looks at the notification he just received. you stare at the phone case…you’ve seen that phone case before…that’s the same one that dan heng has.

that normal black phone case? yeah, you can recognize that bland ass phone case from anywhere. you tried to convince him to change it into something more cooler, but dan heng didn’t want to as the phone case is still functional.

the dragon guy then looks at you, one of his eyebrows raising in curiosity.

“[your name], why did you send me a message when we’re literally next to each other? you could’ve just told me your adventures face to face…you don’t have to text me about it.”

“huh, what did you say?” you responded, your expression immediately looks confused. and then…oh shit.

that’s when you realized…that’s when you connected two and two together…wait a minute.

“wait…you’re dan heng?” you asked the dragon guy. in reaction to your question, his cheeks immediately flushed. his eyes dart to the side, avoiding any eye contact with you.

“no way. you’re actually dan heng…like my boyfriend, dan heng?” you ask again, your eyes are wide in excitement. they sparkle in delight.

“…i know i look different, but yes. i’m the dan heng you know and love, [your name].”

“oh my aeons.” you said softly, clearly still very flabbergasted to know this fact.

“i was scared you wouldn’t like my new look…but i had to confirm it with you.” dan heng exclaims. his eyes look elsewhere, deep in thought about something. then he looks at you, he’s slightly pouting. it’s very subtle, but you know it’s there.

“you didn’t even recognize it was me…do i really look that different?” he asks you. “i can’t change back to my original form even if i wanted to…” he adds.

you shake your head without hesitation with this knowing grin on your face.

“you do look different, but not in a bad way. in fact, i think i dig this new look actually.”

dan heng clears his throat at your bold compliment, trying to keep his composure. you stare at his cyan horns, in which, he notices.

“do you want to touch my horns?” dan heng asks you as he puts you down on your feet. he brings his head down a little, letting you touch them. he looks at you expectedly.

you look so excited to touch his horns, your eyes sparkling. glancing up at dan heng, you ask him if he’s really okay with you patting his horns, for a final confirmation. dan heng gives you a nod with this warm smile, saying that he’s perfectly fine with you patting his horns.

and so you reach over and pet his horns gently…they were a little rough around the edges and they’re very dense and strong. they have a similar texture to horns of a goat or a reindeer, if that makes any sense.

you notice that dan heng’s big, cyan dragon tail is wagging a little…it’s clear he enjoys you patting his horns like this. finding this cute, you continue patting his horns gently, your fingers moving along his strong cyan horns.

“your touch is very gentle, my dear.” dan heng says softly, his cyan eyes look at you with warmth. you continue patting his horns, a satisfied grin on your face, clearly happy to see that your boyfriend is comfortable.

“you know, before you identified yourself, i felt like i was cheating on you…even though there wasn’t anything happening.” you said, still patting his horns. “i mean, i found you attractive…but it appears that it was you all along, dan heng. turns out i just fell for you again~”

dan heng’s cheeks go a little red again hearing this, but he’s very happy to hear that. it appears he softens up with it comes to you. otherwise, he isn’t easily flustered…it’s just that his reserved demeanor falls right off when it comes to you.

in addition, your touch makes him turn into putty. he’s so whipped for you. he’s also glad that you love this new look of his…maybe he’ll keep it around for the time being (once he finds out how to change back), just to see your excited smile again when you pat his horns. he loves it when your eyes light up when you touch his horns, your soft and gentle touch full of affection and love.

back then, he wasn’t very fond of this new look as it reminded him of his treacherous past that he ran away from. but now…it seems like…

it seems like he has a reason to love this new look. you made him love himself even more. not only that, he continuously falls for you little by little every single day.

his new look doesn’t only define his past anymore. it defines his future too. it's now something that makes you happy. for once, he appreciates this new look of his.

maybe his new look isn’t so bad after all.

wedding vows | dan heng || honkai star rail one shot

published on june 7th, 2023

genre: slice of life, fluff

word count: it’s short ??

synopsis: you’re getting married to dan heng. that’s the gist of it.

a/n: i’m down bad for dan heng fr, i want to e6 him someday…it’s not because i wanna see his e6 picture or anything :)

it is the big day. the happiest day of your life.

today is the day where you are getting married to the love of your life, dan heng.

you two have been dating for 2 years now and the other day, he has got down on one knee and proposed to you, with this simplistic yet beautiful diamond ring. you didn’t hesitate to accept his proposal. that was one of the happiest moments you’ve ever been. but of course, nothing can be compared to the actual wedding day.

isn’t that lovely? after all, that’s what life is about, isn’t it? love only makes life so much more bearable. but even then, sometimes love isn’t enough when the world gets tough.

even then, you two still stayed together despite the hardships. he was there with you when you needed him the most. he told you the most reassuring words that you could think of. of course you’ve done the same with him. you love dan heng and he loves you.

you would believe that you are the luckiest person in the whole world. you sometimes wonder what you did to win dan heng’s heart.

you remember the first kiss you two shared.

you remember the day where you confessed to him and how delighted you felt when he told you that he feels the same.

you remember the day where you realized you fell in love with him.

you remember those teasing jokes that your friends on the express tell you on how much dan heng softened up because of you. you don’t entirely believed it at first, but you do notice how much dan heng has changed when you entered his life. it’s there.

now, today is the day where you walk down the isle with your father. today is the day where you show your fiancée your beautiful white wedding dress. today is the day where dan heng becomes your husband, your partner in life.

when your mother's friends have finished your makeup, you only take one last look in the mirror, holding the bouquet of flowers in your arms. your mom's friends told you that you look drop dead gorgeous and you only said that it was thanks to them.

you truly look stunning, but you wonder how dan heng would react. he tells you that you'd look beautiful in anything, but you'll always have your doubts and insecurities. after all, it is a tradition that the groom cannot see the wedding dress until on the wedding day. so he doesn’t even know what your wedding dress looks like exactly.

taking a deep breath, you walk out of the preparation room with the bouquet of flowers in your arms. one of your mother's friends guide you to the front of the church to walk you down the isle to your soon-to-be-husband.

hearing the loud cheers from your best friend and from your other friends, you only hold in fits of laughter as you walk down the isle. the wedding song of your choice is playing in the background. it truly feels like a fairy tale. taking a glance at your groom, your heart skips a beat because dan heng just looks so good in a suit.

you are falling in love with him all over again.

when you arrive at the altar where your groom stands, dan heng instantly holds both of your hands in his after you give your bouquet to one of your bridesmaids. he looks at you like you’re the most precious person in his life.

the priest said his lines, where he asks questions about the love story between two lovers seeking for matrimony right at this moment. it is a nostalgic trip down the memory lane for you two.

you remember the day where you had your first disagreement with dan heng. of course, it didn’t consist of yelling and violence. you two simply sat down and talked it out.

you remember the day where dan heng was being overprotective of you. this did stir up another major disagreement, but that was sorted out quickly as well. it was only natural for dan heng to be overprotective over you, he wanted to you feel safe and protected, even though you can technically protect yourself.

someone like dan heng made you realize your worth in this world. he truly made you feel like you’re worth it, that you’re enough. those major hardships and struggles were worth it. he was worth it. it was clear that dan heng felt the same and aren’t you so lucky that you are marrying him in this very moment.

you truly feel so blessed.

you catch a glimpse of dan heng’s best man, who was none other than caelus. he gives you a gentle wave with a kind smile on his face. it seems like he’s trying to comfort you in someway (and it did).

before dan heng starts to say his vows to you, your best friend announces that they have a tiny little speech to say. you only look at your best friend with an eyebrow raised, wondering what the hell are they planning. what is going on? your groom was also very much confused, although he tried to hide it with his stoic expression, but his eyes displayed confusion. even the wedding music stopped for a second.

when your best friend walks up to the podium near the alter, they make sure that the microphone is on by tapping on it lightly. when they hear the slight echo throughout the room, they let out a quiet cough and then their speech begins. everyone is listening intently. of course, your parents did have a speech before this, so this isn’t random at all. but it appears that your best friend had different plans when they suddenly wants to do a speech right now, before dan heng says his vows to you.

“hello everyone. it is a joyous day today with one of my best friends finally getting married to the love of her life. it is an honor for me to be here, but i do have a small speech that i want to say before they share their vows.

dan heng is a wonderful guy. i quickly realized how much effort he puts in to make [your name] smile. i realized how much happier [your name] was during these last two years they’ve been together. aren’t i glad to be here today to witness their happiest moments of their life. i am truly proud on how far they came.

i know dan heng is a marvelous guy and i truly believe that he is the one for my best friend here. however…” their voices suddenly go a little quiet, which quickly raises up the tension in the church. “dan heng, if you dare to break [your name]’s dear heart, i will make sure that karma collects your debt. you will reap what you sow.”

there was this silence…this intense silence…

you were trying to hold in your laughter because you kind of expected this from your best friend after all. the corners of your lips are curled up as you cover your mouth with your gloved hand. you bit your lip just so you don’t burst out laughing. dan heng only facepalms while shaking his head and letting out a deep sigh, clearly humiliated by this very moment.

your best friend immediately has a smile on their face and wishes that everyone has a fun time with the wedding. what a sudden change in moods after that subtle threat towards the groom. the tension quickly dissipated when your best friend’s grin came into view.

when your best friend walks down the podium, the wedding music starts to play again, its quiet ambience setting the mood of the wedding again. it truly feels like a movie.

dan heng says his vow, his vow beautifully written and planned out. it sounded like everything came from his very heart and soul. you feel like you might bawl some tears if you weren’t in front of a bunch of people.

he vows to keep you smiling. he vows that he will protect you and keep you safe. he vows that he will love you forever and ever, even when death comes by his door. he vows that no matter what, he will stay by your side for all eternity. he vows that he will love you even if you are at your lowest. he vows that he will take care of you. he vows that the love that he shares with you will never die.

last and not least, he vows that he will do his best to make you the happiest woman on this planet. after all, he feels like he is the happiest man on this planet when he is around you.

now it’s your turn to say your vows. your vows may not be as wondrous and beautiful as dan heng’s, but it is certainly very direct.

you vow that you will stay by dan heng’s side no matter what. you vow that you will never leave his side. you vow that you’ll continue to provide kindness and support for him. you vow that you’ll be there for him, even when he’s at his lowest. you vow that he will always be the one you truly love deeply no matter what. you vow that the love you have for him will forever pierce through the darkness, even if the world gets tough.

finally, you also vow that you will provide a home for dan heng. you notice that dan heng is also on the brink of tears, but he’s also holding them in.

the priest then presents the wedding rings. dan heng gently puts the wedding ring on your ring finger for you, his other hand still holding your hand. it was a simplistic wedding ring, but you didn’t mind it at all. then you put on the wedding ring for dan heng, your kind fingers sliding the ring on his ring finger softly.

the priest then gives you two a nod.

“i now pronounce you to be husband and wife. you may now kiss the bride.” he gently pronounces to you both with a polite smile.

dan heng leans in and gives you a soft, gentle kiss on your lips, a hand softly caressing a side of your face. his other arm is securely around your waist to keep you close. you have your arms around his neck while you softly kiss him back, with the audience cheering loudly for this beautiful occasion. everyone is celebrating and having a splendid time.

your best friend in particular is screaming their lungs out while clapping their hands like a seal. they were probably the loudest in the room.

your best friend is the highlight of the party honestly, you have to admit.

during this loud celebration, you both pull away from the kiss. dan heng only continues to caress your face while whispering in your ear to tell you look beautiful in that dress.

you whisper in his ear in response, saying he looks very handsome in a suit. dan heng’s cheeks go a little red and silently thanks you.

dan heng can’t help, but notice your best friend’s rowdy antics. he only sighs deeply again while shaking his head, looking at you with an expression of embarrassment and humiliation once more.

“[best friend’s name] is oddly being the loudest one despite them subtly threatening me earlier.” his expression truly looked like he was done with your best friend’s antics. you couldn’t help but laugh as a response to his deadpanned face. it is quite a funny sight after all.

“but they mean well, dear.” dan heng just sighs again at what you said. you only chuckle lightly as a response.

you pull him in for a gentle hug, your arms around his neck firmly, his face buried into your shoulder. you can smell his pinewood cologne that he usually has on. he didn’t hesitate to hug back, his arms wrapped around your waist tightly while taking a whiff of your wonderful lavender scent.

“i love you.” you whisper in his ear, as if they are words that are only meant for your husband.

“i love you too.” he whispers just as quietly with a gentle, warm smile on his face.

this is truly the happiest day of your life.
