order for: childe, albedo, and diluc

flavor: suggestive

order summary: how the genshin men react to you giving them the “fuck me” eyes on accident

warnings: modern! au in childe’s order, not established relationship, gn pronouns, childe being risky, hickeys/neck sucking lmao, very long especially childe’s order because i’m biased my bad yall, i have no idea what these chemicals actually mean or do in albedo’s order so if you know just ignore it, light manhandling on diluc’s order, and making out

childe:

you guys weren’t anything, there was no relationship and no fucking happening but it was clear to pretty much anyone you’d ever met that there was tension (and lots of it)

you decided to go to the store with him one late evening and just fool around while shopping for useless items you knew you would need

he pushed you around the cart and through the isles, nearly hitting multiple people but you two were so happy that you didn’t care

giggles and fits of laughter erupted amongst you both as you bought cakes to smear on each other’s faces and played hide and seek

upon all the fun random shit you were doing though you did have to actually buy a few things, rummaging through the store trying to find where in the world your favorite shampoo could possibly be was surprisingly harder than you had expected

eventually you had found it and of course you had passed it multiple times, how did this even happen?

well the shampoo was on the very top shelf which you sadly could not reach, HOWEVER fear not as the worlds tallest ginger beanstalk is by your side!

though he got your shampoo you two were still slap happy and playing around like idiots which thus led you into nearly knocking him over, thankfully he was fine and didn’t fall on his ass but the shampoo bottle can’t exactly say the same

reaching down you got it and without even realizing you had made eye contact with childe, unintentionally your lips pouted and your eyelashes flicked at him

you didn’t even realize you did it, so you got the bottle and put it in your cart continuing to shop as though nothing happened

childe stood there for a good moment stunned, even if you only looked at him like that for a mere second how could he forgot about that? the gloss in your eyes and oh so inviting temptation of kissing your lips was too memorable for him to just forget about

leaving the store with your hands full of bags that contain (mostly) unneeded items you had glanced over at childe, he had been acting all weird since earlier

“hey… childe… is something wrong?”

he stopped walking and looked at the ground, you weren’t really sure what to do so you set your bags down and went to check on him

you couldn’t see his face so you tried to lean down to figure out what was wrong when suddenly your eyes widened at him pushing up against the store wall, his arms pinning yours to the side of your head and his breath on your neck left you frozen

“what do you think you were doing pulling that stunt back there?”

he started to kiss your neck sloppily, his teeth lightly nibbling at the skin in a way that made your head spin

“wha…what are you talking… about?”

you were barely able to get a sentence out with the way he made you feel lightheaded, he was so close and so warm that you couldn’t even bother to think of whether or not people would see you like this

“that trick you pulled looking at me like that, hmm you smell good… but don’t give me that look or i might just eat you whole”

his words going straight to your stomach made you whimper and due to his hands holding yours down you couldn’t cover your mouth in this position

he stopped for a second before coming face to face with you and kissing you roughly, his tongue not hesitating to breach your lips and play with yours

you tried your best not to moan into the kiss but with his tongue all over yours and his knee between your legs you didn’t really have a choice

breaking the kiss he pulled away and licked his lips, finally letting go of your wrists had grabbed the bags from the ground and started walking to the car leaving you on shock

“well? come on let’s finish at home”

albedo:

working in the lab all day was normal, it was part of your job after all however working THIS late was not in your job description

sucrose and albedo were yawning and soon the tiredness spread to you as well, as they say yawns are contagious

experiment after experiment with no decent results showing up was surely tiring, mixing these chemicals over and over again was starting to take a toll on you and left the lab for a short moment to get fresh air

the air in dragonspine was bitter, today though it didn’t nip as your skin as harshly as it usually did. perhaps it was a sign of good luck

the scene was beautiful, unlike any other in mondstadt. such a place as dragonspine was set in a perfect spot for icy views and glacial picturesque scenery, resting again the heater nearby you closed your eyes and before you knew it your lights were out

your eyes fluttered open to find a worried sucrose trying to get a response out of you

“(y/n)? (y/n) thank archons you’re awake, i’m heading home for the night. albedo wanted to make sure you were alright, you should go back into the lab and help finishing up so you can go home and rest.”

you embarrassingly give sucrose your thanks and head back into the lab with a slight redness on your face

albedo seems not to be paying much mind, instead opting to focus on his vile of ethylene glycol. you hesitated as you sat down at the counter and began to stir the calcium oxide with naphthalene

“is everything alright? you seem off, your breathing is at an abnormal pace and your temperate appears to be lower than expected.”

albedo questions you without even so much as looking up from his work, thought you can tell by the tone is his voice that he’d very clearly paying attention to not only you but every move you make

“oh, i’m sorry. i guess i’m just a bit ashamed for my improper etiquette…”

“there’s no need to be ashamed. assuming you got the proper amount of sleep last night it’s only reasonable you’d be exhausted from today’s work. in fact i’m quite impressed you came back into the lab even after sucrose left.”

you really didn’t know what to say, it seems he had no issue with your little situation. hearing him pass by it like that put a soft smile of your face, choosing to move on you continued forward with your experiment

after a little while you were beginning to get tired again, though you had slept for a little while the chemical work was hard and you knew you wouldn’t last long until you needed to go home

letting yet another yawn escape you a thick silence filled the air throughout the night, that is until albedo called out to you. his voice spoke through it crisp and clear and though slicing through it with a dagger making you perk up with interest

“(y/n) would you hand me the aluminum chlorohydrate to the left of you?”

shuffling from the counters and sliding the mixture you albedo you notice the dark circles until his eyes

“now, if all goes to what’s hypothesized we can assume that there will be a new chemical compound which causes the subject who drinks the concoction to experience a deduction in iron deprivation and an innate lack of-”

albedo turned you halting his words upon meeting your eyes, you had been studying the look on his face realizing that his skin seemed more pale and his lips were less saturated. a clear sign of sleep loss.

though you were looking at the evidence for lack of sleep you couldn’t help but notice how pretty albedo was, his porcelain skin and marble like eyes capturing your attention

“(y/n), is there a reason you’re looking at me like that?”

having been snapped out of your thoughts you’re confused, he was just talking about chemicals so why is he taking about you looking at him now?

“what do you mean?”

“staring me down like a hungry animal, it’s impossible not to notice. your pupils are dilated and your breathing has picked up, your face is red and your eyelids are relaxed. if i’m not mistaken i’d say you seem very aroused…”

you blink in surprise and flush more in embarrassment, you can’t believe that your coworker just exposed you for checking him out and even worse is that he’s completely right!

albedo allows a smirk to fade onto his face, putting the glass down and bring your chin up between his two fingers he gives you a hot passionate kiss; one hot enough to melt you

you gasp in surprise and albedo expertly slides his tongue into your mouth, using one of his hands to grip your waste and pull you against him

“perhaps we should clean up in the lab, let us go home. there are many other experiments i’d like the try out, would you do the honor of being my test subject?”

diluc:

playing chess with diluc was hard, he was taught how to play growing up and had plenty of experience over the years growing strategies and techniques

you however were not so good at chess… sure you know the basics and can navigate a very very very beginners game but you were certainly not on par with diluc

despite that he invited you to play chess with him for a little while on break, spending time with him was always nice but when playing chess there was a specific intimacy in the air that was nice

“check”

he had you cornered, as per usual with the mastermind of mondsadt but you didn’t really mind considering how calm the atmosphere was

after tugging at your lip for a little you made your move and of course instant regret set in the moment you took your hand off the piece, though of course you couldn’t take the move back

diluc’s lips curled into a slight smirk, knowing that you had just made the wrong move. his light laugh sent shivers down your spine and you watched his silky smooth hair and perfect skin for a second longer than you probably should have

he leaned down with elegance as he captured your king, catching a bit of his dark chocolate and spruce wood cologne in the process leading your heart to skip a feat beats 

“checkmate.”

the games continued on like this well into the night, losing track of time along with game after game of chess

you couldn’t even count the amount of games you lost, but you can count the amount of times you’ve won… that being 0 of course

your back was starting to get sore from sitting in the stiff wooden chair and your eyelids felt heavy from looking at the chess board’s checkered pattern for too long

it had been hours, how many you weren’t quite sure but it was dark and the candle light beside the chess board and captured pieces was the only thing keeping the room somewhat lit

yawning you decided this would be your last game, you stretched your arms up and over your head with a deep sigh

diluc’s breath got in his throat, though you didn’t notice he couldn’t tear his eyes off of you

the way your hair framed your face and the way the fabric bunched up on your chest had him enamored, it’s like his eyes were glued to you

“were they always this attractive?”

snapping himself back to reality he attempted to continue playing chess, though it was hard too with his concentration being so out of line

despite how he was very much distracted from the game you didn’t seem to notice and considering your lack of chess skills… you still lost

“checkmate.”

diluc moved his warm gloved hand to capture your king and begin resetting the board but with his mind in a haze he almost entirely missed your king and the expensive glass piece hit the carpet with a soft thump

“i’ll get it” you told him without even thinking as it fell more towards your side of the table

you got down to the carpet on your hands and knees for whatever reason and gently clasped the fragile king in your soft hands

looking up you caught yourself in a whirlwind with diluc, his eyes starting into your own and you only barely noticed the way his adam’s apple bobbed as he gulped looking down at you

you were tired and your eyes felt heavy, in the quiet relaxed scenario you had been breathing more slowing and deeply. you didn’t mean to look that intoxicating and yet despite how much he dated alcohol diluc felt a rush of adrenaline at this feeling of being drunk

after starting at all the little details on his face from his long eye lashes to his plump and slightly wet lips you sprung up and let your hand out to him, inside the palm sat a thick glass king waiting to be taken

hastily standing up himself diluc felt parched, unsure of why he was so eager he grabbed the king from your hand and set it down on the table with a slam opting afterward to strongly pick you up bridal style and throw you onto his large fluffy bed

pinning you down before you could even process the situation he ran his fingers up your shirt and onto your bare skin, without wasting anytime he captured your lips against his own

“forget taking your king tonight, i’m taking you instead”

tw: cheating

[ 22:25 ] if loving kaeya was hard enough, then learning to unlove him was just as much.

it hits you like a bullet at random times of the day. memories you thought you have already buried in the deepest part of your mind pierces your skin and strikes directly to your heart. soften fragments of him and everything that had to do with him haunting your mind, like an annoying ghost you couldn't exorcise. his sweet words poisoning your mind to no end, the places on your body that he once touched kept burning your skin.

but was it so wrong to still want him despite it all?

(it is.)

there was a tiny part of you that regretted ever walking away, the you who still believed in him—the you who's still intoxicated with his destructive love. and you had to clench your fists to the point they're cloudy white to ground yourself that it's for the better, digging your feet into the earth to prevent yourself from running back to his cold unloving arms.

you had to remind yourself again and again that kaeya does not deserve you after everything he had done, for breaking you to the point you believed you're can't be fixed. for burning your soul to ashes with the heat of his touch that had grown cold. for drowning you in his ocean of lies, dragging you to the very bottom without letting you breathe.

you had to remind yourself that choosing to end your ties with him was better than letting him ruin you even further than he already had, and that you were not at fault that he chose to love someone else when he already had you in the very beginning.

you did nothing wrong.

you gave him everything you had and more. you just simply loved him more than he ever did to you, and there was nothing wrong with that. it's not wrong to miss the kaeya you once loved. it's not wrong to let your heart break and cry for him for now because you know, in time, it will heal itself back up.

and when you start to understand, these memories of him that revisit you will stop becoming haunted. you'll stop wanting it, him, back. the distant images only becomes a reminder that not everything that seems attached on you is for you. and everything will become easier when you have come to terms that you deserve better, that it is only right for you to walk away.

you decided that this isn't an ending, but rather a revolution. a better beginning, a redirection. like finding a map after a year of being lost—on him.

random quotes i wrote yesterday at 4am instead of being asleep and the genshin character that said it;

CHILDE: "you did so much with the little life that goes through your veins; who knows what you will conquer tomorrow? how exciting it is to dream of victories."

DILUC: "you will make it far, if only you are willing to face, and accept, your failures and flaws."

AETHER: "don't for a second ignore your value for people who don't even know your name, much less your history."

ALBEDO: "maybe one day you will see all the bright yellows and reds and all the pretty pinks and blues. but until then, i am more than happy to be your pallet of morbid colors."

KAZUHA: "I will love you until you're ready to love. And then, i will love you more and never stop loving you. For as long as I have you alive in my memories, I won't be able to love anyone else."

KAEYA: "and if the day come where you shall leave, take me with you, for i won't be able to exist in a world without you."

XIAO: "i am covered in fear. fear of losing you, fear of pushing you away. fear of not being enough and fear of being too much. but mostly I'm afraid of getting lost as I ask you to stay, when I know you need to go."

THOMA: "so let the entire world know! let the world paint our names in their mouth when they talk about lovers. and let it dry and shut their lips for our love shall never vanish once spoken upon by the world."

BENNETT: "kiss me again. and again. and just one more time. and again for the memories. and one more for the good times. and again as proof of your love for me."

ZHONGLI: "my body was molded to fit yours. my hands are begging for yours. my heart does not stop singing your name. and my soul is only satisfied in your presence. my whole existence is shaped for you."

i did one assignment and im this 👌 close to just opening genshin

Hanako-kun Halloween [14/?] >> Kamome Nursery Researchers and Monsters

— Late Nights

[Pairing/s: Platonic!Venti x Reader]

Genre: Fluff, comfort

Warning: None

Note: I couldn't fall asleep, so I write. Grammatical errors will be edited in the morning, ehe.

"Shall I sing you a lullaby to help you fall asleep?" Your bard friend suggested after you told him about your little predicament, unable to fall asleep because of your active mind and a wild imagination that scared you enough for you to not be able to fall asleep. How he got into your room? Well, the wind vision bearer bard had heard you through the wind that entered your room as you sigh and complain to yourself about your situation and wanted to help, so he claims, maybe he just wanted to sleep over cause he has no where else to rest for the night.

"That would be highly appreciated, Venti" he smirk upon hearing your reply and immediately took out his lyre to play you a tune, a famous lullaby that every children of Mondstadt knew, familiar words enter your ears that you remember your mother used to sang to you when you were just a little lass, accompanied by Venti's comforting voice that you grew familiar and fond of.

Your body instantly relaxes, your eyes growing drowsy with every word that spills from the Bard's mouth, you grew sleepier and sleepier until your eyes grew tired enough to close, your body sink into the comfort of your mattress whilst your consciousness drift off to dreamland, finally getting your rest.

Venti ended the lullaby and placed his lyre aside, to cover you up with your blanket that protects you from the cold of the night, quietly he stare at the tranquil expression you wear as you sleep.

"Sweet dreams, (Y/N)"
