⤷ aether x gn!reader
synopsis: 0.5k ; when venti tasked him with giving people advice for their romantic feelings, he wasn’t expecting someone to say your name.
warnings/genre: jealousy, it’s fluffy if you squint, stuff from the windblume festival event?
His legs were sore.
That was the only thing Aether could think about at this point, it wasn’t even the afternoon yet and he felt worn out. He’d been running all over Mondstat, doing chores for other people, helping other people. It wasn’t that he minded it at all; he liked helping people, plus they compensated him.
But he was tired. All he wanted to do was take a break. He’d agreed to help Venti though, regardless of how many other people he’d been doing favors for today.
“One more,” Venti smiled. “That guy over there, his name is Deacon.”
His face was oddly familiar to Aether, but it took tired eyes a few moments to register the knight uniform the guy was wearing. Aether nodded in response, and was then walked over to greet the guy.
Most of what he was saying went over Aether’s head — he couldn’t help it, he was half-asleep. All he really needed to do was pay attention to whatever signal Venti gave anyway.
“...uh so, I don’t really know what kind of gift Y/n would like. Any ideas?”
Wait.
Surely this guy was not talking about the same Y/n that Aether had in mind… right? Sure, he’d never actually told you how he feels, but the constant, playful flirting had to be enough to steer people away. He always hoped it did, anyway, at least until he could gather enough courage.
Though he looked over to Venti, he ignored the bard’s signal. Venti’s signal was clearly one of assurance, but instead, Aether shook his head at the guy.
“I don’t think you should. Y/n… I don’t know, they never seemed into you, even if that’s kind of blunt to say. Uhm, aren’t you on duty right now though?”
It wasn’t a lie; Aether was positive that you didn’t even know the guy’s name. But still, the honorary knight wasn’t supposed to be so bitter, wasn’t supposed to get jealous so easily.
“Yeah, yeah. I am. Thank you though, I think I’ll reconsider it.”
As soon as the guy was out of earshot, Venti’s voice chimed. He had a snarky expression on his face, he looked so amused, but for once Aether couldn’t laugh about it like he normally would.
“So, are you going to be giving anyone a windblume then? Y/n, maybe?”
“...It’s not like that.”
“Jealousy is a somewhat common emotion, it’s not that hard to see. So go tell Y/n how you feel, what’s the worst that could really happen?”
A lot, apparently. He supposes it’s not as bad as it could be; you didn’t reject him, but the thing is, he didn’t even tell you how he feels. Now he’s standing beside you, awkwardly, unable to say anything.
“You ok, Aether?” Your voice was gentle and laced with concern. Such a simple thing caused his heart to flutter, and yet you probably had no idea.
“Hm? Oh, yeah, I’m all good. I think I just need to relax for a bit. I’m tired is all.”
You smiled sweetly, then moved to wrap your arms around him. He buried his face into the side of your neck, letting out a quiet, content hum. He just hoped you couldn’t feel his heart beating out of his chest.

hi love! what do you use to create your images, as well as the fonts for your images??
ouu, i gotchu, babe.
ibispaint is one of the main ones i use, it’s great for changing the colours or manga panels and you can also draw and add in fonts using the app!
canva is my go-to app for banners, it’s got a lot of different fonts and effects you can use—i also use it to animate some of my pictures for my pinned posts.
pics art is a good one as well from what i’ve heard, personally it’s not my thing but it might work for you!
for fancy fonts like this one: 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎
i use this website, you can just copy and paste them!

for gradient texts you can follow this tutorial:

❝ WHAT YOUR FAVORITE GENSHIN BOY SAYS ABOUT YOU ❞
CHARACTERS | venti, xiao, zhongli, childe, kaeya, diluc, albedo, scaramouche
A/N | I WAS STALKING MY OLD PAGE EARLIER HAHA and i saw a lot of positive feedback with the mha version of this so once again im stealing ideas (albeit from myself but still). this is part one since i wanna do the rest of the boys & also my girlies
VENTI
i’m not even into astrology but you’re 100% an air sign, or at least, you’re very free and act a little childish or naively. while some people think you’re a bit much to handle, you have a heart of gold and strive to do the best thing, whether it be for others or yourself. you can’t stick to schedules or due dates for the life of you and your laziness will be the end of you. you find it easy to charm or persuade others into doing what you want, though it’s usually for something petty. it’s hard for you to understand the emotions of others and often try and comfort people with laughter. in essence, you’re a lot like the tone-deaf bard himself! do you have a talent for the arts or music?
XIAO
you’re a simp. the biggest kind possible. you considered making a shrine to pull xiao (if you didn’t already.) you’re either very much like xiao, in the sense that you’re cold and curt, or the complete opposite— an emotional, empathetic mess. xiao is your comfort character, whether it be that you relate to how he feels (grief, inability to socialize, personality) or you find your heart aching to hold and comfort him. do you take a while to respond to texts? you’ve wanted to get a bunch of piercings and tattoos. if you’ve dyed your hair, it probably looked incredible.
ZHONGLI
you’re classy, book smart, and have a thing for older men. you don’t like straying far from comfort zones or familiarity but if the chance comes to prove yourself, you try your best. a small part of you thinks you’re better than everyone (you’re probably correct LOL). you have an eye for graphic design or fashion. you’re gullible though, often finding yourself not aware of slang. is it hard to talk comfortably to others? you’re probably a little close minded. are you an intp/infp? an introvert? dislike loud crowds?
CHILDE
bastard, that’s what you are. attitude problem. you’re loud, blunt, outgoing, and people find it easy to dislike you. you’re aggressive or easy to provoke, and welcome fights or confrontation. i want to sock you in the face so bad. your ego is huge in someway or another and confidence oozes from you, albeit most of is fake. despite all this, you’re friendly and when you aren’t in a lousy mood, you’re very pleasant to talk to and polite. whatever you’re trying to subtly do, i’m here to tell you that you aren’t subtle at all. why do you have so many five stars. you’re rich, one way or another.
KAEYA
you’re so attractive. you probably smell so good and are for sure very flirty or find it easy to converse with people. you’re very into alcohol or find the effect of it very fun. you’re bold, borderline trend setter. if you’re into nightclubs, you’re the center. no seriously, how do you smell so good😭 you’d rather die than be caught slacking on looks. you spend so much money on yourself (as you should.) do you gossip a lot? or are quick to dislike people? despite the seemingly bimbo facade, you’re smart and tactical when you need to be. do you like it when things are in your control? or rather, do you snap when things aren’t in your full control?
DILUC
childe fan 2.0. you think you’re so much better than everyone, the arrogance hurts. a dry texter and a pain to talk to over message. despite this, you have a good heart and intentions. if someone were to tell you their issues, you’d look for the quickest way to solve the problem instead of comforting them. you’re a good cook, huh? you’re probably super good in the kitchen. you’re a competitor with xiao fans for being the biggest simp. i feel like you have a thing for gloves but most of it is just a thing for men who don’t treat you right. you either want diluc to pin you to a wall or you want to coddle the poor boy.
ALBEDO
you’re an artist or find interest in the arts. you find yourself liking niche things and it’s unique, super cute! you’re super into pretty pretty boys, and would die for any man who regularly dresses in beige and/or vests. you’re so aesthetic, or very well kept. your room’s air is fresh, i just know it. how much are you into plants? you probably prefer a pure white color scheme or minimalism over darker, more cluttered ones.
SCARAMOUCHE
you were super edgy in middle school and high school. you’re extremely reserved, probably very lonely; you’re independent and follow the rules to a T. you. are. so deep into anime and anything related to it. you play some of the most unheard of games and have too much merch. please stop spending so much money on anime boys. it’s for your own good. WHY DO YOU LIKE MEN WHO ARE MEAN TO YOU😭 you’re a cat person.
If you needed any reasons, here are 10 why I am a Shouto simp:
1. His character design is awesome. He can totally rock anything - being an awkward moon, a clingy koala, an empty-headed flower or a judgmental blob of syrup - it all works. There is a multiverse of Rokis and I love all of them.
2. He is one of the funniest characters. Full stop. He’s hilarious (often unintentionally, but that’s beside the point).
3. He spends his free time trying to help his mentally ill mother heal. He visits and writes letters. Because that’s how he feels now. (And that makes him an icon, honestly).
4. The many shades of sluuuuuuuurp - he has such a range. It can go from passive aggressive to kind and supportive. (How do people call his face blank?)
5. He’s a statement in a turtleneck (or in fugly cardigans or traditional clothes. He could probably get away with wearing a sack, but that’s besides the point)

You couldn’t get over how amazing this traveling hero was and how cute he was as well, you didn’t even know his name but you still felt like you could go up and help him out with whatever's going on. Currently gushing about him to your friends in Liyue, hanging next to some stairs all scattered about and laughing at your blushy face, teasing you for being so in love. “You don’t even know his name! What if he’s just putting up an act?! What then?!” Shaking your head and starring out into the harbor, “I don’t care that I don’t know his name. He’s not acting, I can tell. From what I’ve seen he just wants his sister back, he would never hurt someone. He’s kind and caring, and more selfless than he should be.”
They all looked at you trying to lighten the mood by asking you what would happen if you met him and what your ideal date would be, all you wanted was to talk to him and help him find his sister. Yes, part of you wanted him for yourself but if it meant him being happy then so be it. You brushed off their comments and stood up, brushing off your clothes and waving them off before teasing them and having them chase after you. “Oh yeah? Come on! After all that teasing it’s more than fair!” Smiling brightly with no care in the world and ran down the steps, carefully to not slip while full of adrenaline.
What you didn’t know what that Aether was coming down from a meeting with Zhongli about Inazuma and its archon, he’d seen you around and you had helped him with the missing posters and with the service. He didn’t expect to hear you singing his praises and defending him so plainly, respecting his goal and what he did. You were beautiful and so kind, when he first met you Paimon teased him for zoning out for a second. Aether heard Paimon laugh at his red cheeks and he leaned against the railing as he processed your confession, replaying your laugh and smile in his mind. Guess his secret crush liked him back.
