ZHONGLI is steadfast as a rock and would be rather difficult to fluster despite great efforts. He’d crack a smile or two, admiring the beauty of your actions, but you’ll never win from the toughness of his shell.

“You’d like to brush my hair?” his voice was laced with confusion before he chuckled, “Well, who am I to deny such a gracious request from my beloved?”

Silence filled the room yet both of you relished on the tranquility of each other’s presence, the scent of the tea you two had still in the air, and the crickets of the night sang to further fill in the harmony of the evening.

The brush skims through his thin, long strands that didn’t seem to have that much need. Yet despite it, you made sure that nothing was left uncovered, leaving no regrets behind. By the time you finished, his eyes flutter open as he turns to you, a soft smile on his lips. He then reaches towards your cheek before he says, “I did not know such a simple thing could put my mind to ease, thank you, beloved.”

XIAO is wary, slow to open up, could stretch his wings and fly away when he feels threatened. It was night when the dark enveloped the depths and crevices of the yaksha’s heart, creeping in and soiling his already lost core. His karma—you were no strangers, you knew.

“Xiao, I’m here,” you whisper as his words pushes you away, his body stiff under your embrace, fingers on the strands of his hair. His system was shutting down, almost getting sucked in by darkness when he felt it. The way you caressed his hair still, his scalp and dark locks locks soothed by the tips of your fingers, as if pulling him from the gloom of his debt.

He breathes in as if he hadn’t all his life, panting hard as if vision clears, sight regained as he realizes he was in your room, your house. Not in Wangshu, but with you.

“Are you back?” you looked at him for a minute, and he saw the tears that were in the corner of your eyes, now falling down when you were able to confirm that he was coming to, a smile—the most beautiful smile he had ever seen—forming on your lips before you pulled him in another embrace.

“You’re back. You’re back, Xiao. I thought I lost you,” you say. He was breathing normally by the time he raised his own arms to wrap them on your waist, letting himself return your affection.

“You saved me. I am in your debt, Y/n.”

VENTI’s body is not his own. His face, his hands, his eyes, his hair and everything else is not one that was fated to him—for him. He didn’t particularly paid much attention to his desires. He was no one before you came into his life.

His giggles echoed in the room as you untangled the braids of his hair, the bluegreens coming into life at the softness of your touch.

“So brave of you to ask, my windblume,” he muses, to which you lightly slapped the back of his shoulder while chuckling.

“What? Don’t be shy now,” he teases grinning in fromr of the mirror with his hair now untied and let down.

Despite tt all, he’d be silent throughout the process, a soft smile playing on his face, yet still silent. You could tell he was savoring the moment of being taken care of, his muscles and body at ease.

His body was not his own, but with you here, every moment makes him feel like it was his all along.

THOMA had always thought of others before himself. He does not also have the time to do so, anyway. Thus when you came and changed his entire routine, it was then that he realized how much effort he puts onto others before, and with you by his side, he was slowly starting to appreciate and be selfish of the attention he had neglected from himself.

“That feels good,” he says as he lets you rub your fingertips on his scalp, your digits on his strands, “You’re so good to me, you know.”

He cracks one eye open and he reaches for your hand, placing a kiss on it for a little while before closing his eyes once again. Such a sweet man, he is, he doesn’t even know how much your heart skipped a beat and your breath halted at such a simple action.

SCARAMOUCHE would kill with the daggers of his gaze—or literally—before anyone could even touch him. Yet, like many other time, you remain his one and only weakness.

And he doesn’t know if he despised it or loved it.

“What are you-” he halts, his mouth pursing shut as you continued to brush his hair with your palm, smiling as you compliment him on how smooth it was. You chose to ignore the blush that appears on his cheeks as he continues to stare at you, forcing himself to narrow his eyes at your form; his hat on your head, a pleased look on your face. It was a good thing no one was there around both of you or else he might have dug his own grave by letting you pet his head and hair delightfully.

“I’m not a pet, Y/n,” he frowns—pouts, actually. But despite this, you could tell how much he liked it with how he doesn’t push you or your hand away.

Soft as a feather. It was natural of KAZUHA to always compliment your beauty beyond his—you’re the priority, When you offered to do his hair one particular time, he was ready to say no. Yet he knows those sparkles and glitters in your orbs, begging him to say yes, thus he did, chuckling with a “Of course, whatever you wish, my dove.”

He remains silent as you carefully brush his hair first, asking him every now and then if it hurts every time you straighten up the knotted strands of his light hair with a whisper. It warms his heart, how much you care, how much you love. By the time you finished combing snd tying his hair on his usual style, he suddenly turns around and grabs your hand, placing a kiss on each of your knuckles before standing to his feet and pressing his lips on yours.

“Thank you,” he whispers next to your skin, “you never fail to amuse me, dove.”

KAEYA has too many secrets to hide. The gravity of his sins couldn’t even compare with those that seemed visible to the eye.

When you touch his hair, you were touching his heart, his core, his soul. He wants to pull away, to never let anyone see his vulnerabilities and fragilities. Yet you, you have something in you that makes him feel… free.

Freedom’s such a heavy word, even from him who supposedly hails from Mondstadt. With your lips, he love; with your hands, he care; with your touch, he submits. You broke him out of the frozen confines of his heart, made him breathe through the air of this so-called love.

“Kaeya? Does it feel good, hun?” you asked him, and he looks into your eyes and tells the truth.

“Of course, sweetheart,” he smiles at you, “Everything you do for me is good.”

Due to his natural instincts, GOROU feels your touches with an intensity. Just merely having your fingers caress and run through his hair makes his muscles instantly ease to the touch. He accidentally lets out a few hums or moans especially since his guard was down, only to let it back up as he consciously looks around, cautious of having anyone else around.

You giggled as you gently pat on the back of his head, halting the soft attack on his hair and ears for a little while, letting the poor boy rest and take a breather, “Don’t worry, no one but me will hear you.”

“This is embarrassing,” he hides his face on the crook of your neck, but remained having his arms around you and legs propped on either side of yours—seated on your lap, actually.

“Don’t be, baby,” you purr, “I’m just pampering you for a little while. So just relax, hm?”

DILUC shielded himself from anything else, anybody else. Deflected any other care towards him and as a result, he wasn’t used to such kind of affections.

“You don’t have to,” he says as you prompt him to sit down in front of the mirror, eyes telling how much it’s not something he does not do often—ever, probably.

He remains quiet for a long while, you won’t even know if he liked if or not until you two were about to slip on the bed, suddenly feeling him hug you from behind and kissing one of your temples as he held you there for a little while.

“Would you like this to be a recurring habit every night?” he whispers, quite hesitatingly but still letting it out, “It appears you took pleasure on it, I don’t mind if you’d want to keep it that way starting from now.”

CHILDE is a wildfire, despite his wave-like strength. Yet there are times when he’s magntized by the force of your peace, and this is was one of those times.

You were taking off his mask, helping him out of pure routine when he comes home. By the time you successfully do so and had the item placed somewhere else, he takes a hold of your hand before pulling them up to his hair once again.

“Why?”

“Can you do that again?” he inquires with a shy smile.

You could only furrow your brows as you then realized what he was referring to, a smirk forming on your lips, “Want me to caress your hair?”

He pouts and he seemed to want to say no but he sooner nods, pulling you from where you both were until he plops on the couch, while letting you sit on his lap.

“Please? I’m so tired from work,” he whines, snaking his arms on your waist and settling his head on your shoulder, not before pressing a gentle kiss on it first.

AYATO‘s hair is like silk, woven by the greatest seamstresses of Inazuma, He lets you brush them since you seemed to have been wanting to—you confessed it to him, actually, by the time you two had gotten together.

He lets you do whatever you want with them; through braids, ponytails, or maybe even a bun. You let him take care of you, thus he lets you do the same to him. Actually, he’d let you play with his hair while he’s doing his work. “It calms me down,” he says, referring to the way your fingers run over his hair, your fingertips teasing his back or his shoulders or the back of his neck, brushing onto them accidentally.

ALBEDO couldn’t understand the pleasure of having their hair touched by someone—being taken care of, actually. Such a confusing topic that he can never relate to until it happened to him—you happened.

He felt it; how his shoulders eased, a sigh falling out of his lips, his back leaning to where you were behind him, and it was as if the world had gone and you and him were the only ones left. When you proposed to take a bath together, he didn’t expect for someone such as himself to feel like this. Comforting, almost like a sanctuary and an escape from the world.

“You’re silent, ‘Bedo, are you alright?” your voice pulls him out of his reverie.

“Better, actually,” he answers, “I did not know how calming it is to have someone massage though one’s scalp or let them wash their hair. Unexpected but it’s not really surprising, after all, there are nerve endings in the scalp, which makes it quite easy to let us, even such as I, to feel good.”

You could only blink as you nod even if his back was on yours, awkwardly chuckling, “Yeah.. that’s right. Anyway, would you like me to apply conditioner on your hair?”

Teyvat is a cruel world. AETHER knew of that as his footsteps wandered around, traveled and met everyone and experienced everything.

He swears to protect you, to show you that there is a light beneath the darkness. And yet, you’re the one who does it to him, who takes care of him or loves him when he didn’t know he needed it. He has his sister, and he has everything. But now, he doesn’t think he could live the same without you and your fingers sliding onto his hair, bringing them together into a braid just how much you put him together. You were now his foundation, a sanctuary he couldn’t have expected to find, the person who makes him whole and drown out all the worries away, even for a little while.

➴ losing you was blue.

WHY THE MHA BOYS WOULD REJECT YOU.

pairings: eijiro kirishima, hitoshi shinsou, izuku midoriya, katsuki bakugou, shoto todoroki, hanta sero, denki kaminari, tokoyami fumikage, tenya iida x gn!reader (warning for angst !!)

EIJIRO KIRISHIMA always believed he could never measure up to your expectations. no matter what he tried doing, no matter what steps he took, no matter what reassuring words you gave– he still felt like the same kid who cried when he found out of his quirk. even when he tried his best to push every insecurity down, eijiro just couldn’t figure it out. because when all was said and done, he still felt broken– and to him, that wasn’t good enough. eijiro kirishima fears expectations and failure.

TOKOYAMI FUMIKAGE can’t see why you’d love him. what was there to love about him? he had a literal bird head. he didn’t talk to anyone, and tried to avoid most conversation if he could. so why would you want to be with him? tokoyami tried to say no as politely as possible, but as he did, something inside him just shattered. there was nothing to love about him that he could see. tokoyami fumikage feels that he’s incapable of being loved.

HITOSHI SHINSOU couldn’t bear to see your face when everything crashed and burned. and he didn’t want anything to fall apart. because as it seems, no matter what he does, he still feels like a monster. it’s undeniable. even when his entire life was set to be a hero people could look up to– hitoshi still didn’t know what to do. and he was willing to give up a relationship to work on that first, stuck in the mindset that he could only prioritize one thing. hitoshi shinsou just can’t find balance.

IZUKU MIDORIYA couldn’t handle the stress of knowing that someone else was counting on him. it wasn’t much of a big reason, really– but he felt that he just didn’t have time for a relationship. he let the phrase, i don’t have time fill his head. so even if he had finished everything, his hero days were over, and everything was gone, izuku still would have stayed in the mindset: i don’t have time for this. izuku midoriya tries to cover up his feelings.

KATSUKI BAKUGOU was lying when he said he didn’t have time for you. unlike midoriya, who’s telling a bit more of a truth, katsuki is playing a full-on lie– he loves you. oh boy. he doesn’t fall for anyone, but if he falls for you, you must have done something– because the reason why he rejected you, deep down, no matter how much he tries to forget you, it’s because he’s afraid of hurting you. he’s afraid of the rejection. he’s afraid of how things are going to go, how it’s going to hurt his hero career– katsuki bakugou is afraid of love.

HANTA SERO wouldn’t reject you in a million years. he wants to be kind to everyone, show him what he stands for and believes– except love, when he’s struggling with loving himself first, what else was there to do? there were so many people that he wanted to help, but so little he had for himself, from trying not to hate himself for being near the bottom of the class, to not having a flashier quirk like everyone else. hanta sero can’t see why he’s lovable.

TENYA IIDA doesn’t understand love. he’s seen people express it, he’s seen people get along, he’s seen all of it– and as the class rep, he feels that he needs to be able to show everyone to his best ability what he’s capable of. except deep down, somewhere inside him, he feels that love is something wretched and terrible. why was it a thing when it only caused unnecessary heartbreak? what was the point of it if you loved and gave, only to lose them in the end? (this is also definitely linked with tensei in the hosu city accident.) tenya iida doesn’t understand love.

SHOUTO TODOROKI doesn’t want to be in chains– or that’s what he believed, at least. a lot of people talk about putting him in hundreds of romantic relationships at school– but he’s never really resonated with any of it. realitsically, shouto’s defintion of love, the way he sees it all, has been twisted and deformed into something that he can’t bear to understand. after seeing his parents fight, calling it love and watching his family spiral– shouto todoroki sees love as faded and dull.

DENKI KAMINARI tries to love you. he really, really does. he tries to learn how to love you, but something just isn’t clicking. was it that you weren’t putting in the effort? no, you were. was it that he just felt out of place? no, he had friends to help him. so… what was it? there were days where he felt that he could never measure up to anyone else. everyone was so ahead, so strong, which such amazing quirks and abilities. he felt that he wasn’t good enough– denki kaminari can’t love himself.

a/n: this hurt my heart bbs </3 remember to go drink water and take care of yourselves!! mwah!!

- crushing + how they confess

[ft. thoma, childe]

a/n Can u tell i really like malewives .. plz i'm crying how bad can the brainrot get i am like Genuinely in love

warnings/tags gender neutral, they prns for reader, modern/school au, y/n is a little of a tease, friend relationship between character n reader, just fluff ! lol

thoma

not many people know about his crush though, he's actually pretty good at playing it off with other people but when you're around him he just loses it 😭 my GOD it's so painfully obvious that it hurts … you've probably caught him staring like ten times now, and each time the flush on his cheeks grow redder and bigger

probably has songs that he associates with you and every time they come on in public he smiles like an idiot into his sleeve heehee

hmm actually it's not just limited to music, every little thing reminds thoma of you. if he sees something that you brought up in conversation, or mentioned that you liked, he actually has to fight the urge to buy it and stick it in your locker with a little note for you to find

doodles you a little sometimes when he's bored in class like he doesn't even know he's doing it the lines on the page just somehow twist and turn into a messy portrait of you, and when he realises he blushes and slams his book shut. idk maybe it's just a subconscious reaction because he be staring at you so much

very hesitant about being physically affectionate, because even if the both of you are friends he doesn't want to weird you out or anything.. 🙁 but he cherishes those rare hugs, your knee bumping against his, his fingers brushing against yours.

+ circling back to the music bit... thoma makes you a playlist with a confession hidden in the titles. but he doesn't just send you a spotify link and hide under his bed while waiting for your response like he'd like to - he shows it to you when the both of you are together, his heart leaping out of his chest, hoping that you'd get the message.

childe

literally everybody knows that childe has a thing for you ... but you're just so oblivious ?? maybe it's on purpose - he just looks too cute when he's dejected >:)

oh yeah his siblings definitely know too and endlessly poke fun at him for it - especially his sisters

purposely passes you notes in class/talks to you just so the teacher can yell at the him to "stop trying to court them and focus on class" 😞...

around you he's super nonchalant, and honestly you're not sure if he even has feelings for you because he flirts with like… everyone. but you don't catch the way his smile is a little bigger than usual when it's you that he's teasing

you also don't notice all the little things he does for you - waiting outside your class for you to be done, buying you your favorite snacks just because

at his sports games (you can't tell me he isn't an athlete of some sort) he always seeks you out in the crowd, just to flash you his charming grin and proceed to get whacked in the face because he wasn't paying attention then blame you afterwards and beg you to take care of him until he gets better

+ confesses completely out of the blue. it's just a regular day, during a regular conversation, and when childe blurting out that he actually really, really likes you is... unexpected, to say in the least. and you can tell by the abnormally sheepish look on his face that he isn't kidding this time.

— 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)"

ʙᴀᴄᴋɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴄʜᴇᴄᴋ? ꜱᴜʀᴇ ʟᴇᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ꜰɪɴᴅ ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ

[beginning] [previous part]

previously

Unknownst to you, your unspoken heart-to-heart doesn't go unnoticed. Your sudden appearance, the affiliation with Barbara, and her being able to pull off this deed.

The most interesting of affairs and quite bizarre too

Needless to say the Cavalry Captain is a curious man at heart.

---------------------------

Kaeya would have pursued you there and then, but the situation at hand called for his attention. Mondstadt's deaconess healed and here she was doing quite the opposite. Against slimes of course, but it just wasn't in her nature to be offensive. Maybe Barbara was secretly a fighter inside, but having the resolve to do anything and actually being able to it were two different things. The fact remains that she has no prior offensive conditioning.

If amature gets a hit in, you call it beginner's luck no issues but when that hit actually causes you to stagger back and cough up blood, that's when you wonder.

Getting hit? expected. But getting hurt?

how very intriguing.

With the docks still crowded, it was apparent that everyone was still processing the spectacle at hand. Barbara, who herself seemed dazed, busied herself by checking Arthur for any injuries and entertaining his gushing. It was Kaeya's emergence that caused the Knights to come back to their senses and address him.

"Sir, we were informed of slimes suddenly appearing on the docks, but as soon we arrived..."

"Disposed of by deaconess Barbara, I am aware. I suppose the knights can learn a thing or two from the Church, no?"

Slimes should not have been so close to the city in the first place.

"Since this has been taken care of, you all are to return to your previous positions and this time make sure that there no slimes approaching the city."

The execution didn't take long. Arthur too left soon after, excited to recall the happenings to his parents. This left the cavalry captain alone with the idol now turned fighter.

This this felt like a dream. She doesn't understand what came over her when she drew out her catalyst. This should not have worked, but it did. Aspirations turned into affirmations, and it felt... good. Barbara wasn't dissatisfied with her position as a healer, healing everyone that was her greatest ambition. But the clouds of doubt and dark whenever she looked upon Jean, who excelled either way.

You changed that. A spotless sky revealed itself underneath the taints of doubt. She will be sure to let you know that when she sees you again.

Clearing of a throat broke her chain of thoughts, the cavalry captain was looking at her curiously. The moment finally catches up, how is she to explain all of this?

"Captain Kaeya I-"

"That was most impressive, you plan on joining the Knights of Favonius anytime soon? Hm sister Barbara?"

Questions will be prompted, one way or another your name would be uttered. That is of course if she chooses to answer truthfully. Teyvat had its fair share of blessed, powerful individuals but nothing quite like you. Was she to let your existence be known to everyone? That wasn't her choice to make not after you just...

"I'm not here to pry answers out of you if that is what you were wondering... Mondstadt could always use more helping hands."

Then what does he-?

"But I do want something, a name if you will."

[color] hues and [color] strands, fixated in his memory. A name and then he would know what exactly you were.

"A name? Whose exactly?"

Maybe he isn't aware

"your dear friend"

... Well he is aware

Kaeya couldn't help but chuckle at her expressions, just what did you do to make her so concerned for yourself.

"I mean them no harm, just some conversation. They would like more friends here in Mondstadt no?"

Were your abilities a secret anyway? did you even want them to be a secret? Except for being a traveler, you didn't reveal much about yourself, well it's not like she asked in the first place. but then she didn't expect you to be...

What even were you?

"really I just wish to talk, they seem like quite an interesting person."

Nothing escapes the cavalry captain it seems. And indeed he leaves the dock with his objective complete. Syllables on his lips and curiosity in his being.

The brothers are more similar than they would like, different approaches but the same end goals.

[Name] just who are you?

-------------------------------

If anything you were misfortunate. Lost prayers to the scared winds? Skyward atlas? All you got from asking locals were rumors and maybe you heard someone call you a nerd underneath their breath. Like fuck you Nimrod we'll see who the nerd is when you get her to one-shot the Regisvine.

The pursuit of any good catalyst has been futile so far and there weren't many options in the first place. As a last-ditch effort, you make your way towards Marjorie. Treasures obtained from her father's adventures and her father being Cyrus 'Branch master' of the adventure's guild. If you didn't find any clues here, you might as well give up the venture entirely.

Watching you approach she greets you.

"Welcome. Every treasure here is unique, so we don't negotiate on the price, nor do we give refunds."

No refunds? well, that is reassuring.

"I just wanted to inquire about something... a notebook if you will. it's quite old."

Better to start up slow... baby steps yes

"It was called the Widsith, a notebook that was shared between the members of the Wanderers Troupe... have you heard about it? Like anything at all?"

She stops to think for a while, you halfheartedly expect another dead end.

"hmm....maybe. Not many people come up asking for actual historical trinkets, are you a historian or researcher of sorts?"

"well um...yeah I suppose you could call me a history buff of sorts but do you know anything of it?" please say yes.

"I do come across old books of sorts quite often, the one you just described... I did receive new items from some old ruins. i could check and let you know."

Finally some progress

"But it might take a while"

"o-oh yes, yes of course whenever you get it, just let me know."

You left her shop after giving her your name and deciding on a future meeting. Widsith! you almost had it! well, there was a chance that it might not be the thing itself but you were going to be optimistic. Surely the world won't be this cruel, by letting an entire day of wandering around go to waste. Whatever the end result, you were in high spirits now.

A little further was the Adventure's guild headquarters. you could ask Katheryne as well and maybe continue a winning streak.

You wait as she converses with the other adventurers. Remunerating them for completing their commissions, none of which you could recognize.

Maybe Bennet and Fischel were already done for the day.

Seeing her getting free you immediately approach her.

"...Rebooting..."

"you know you really should stop saying that. It's kinda creepy." you start with absolutely no filter.

Blue meets [color] as she turns to address you, expression unchanging but she does smile when she spots you.

"Ad Astra abyssosque [player name]" (ur genshin name FYI)

You don't do that okay, you do not pull shit like this on someone and make them question everything.

"How the fuck do you know that?"

-----------

*crawls out of box of shame*

No, I have not forgotten this blog ;-; and I'm not dead (unfortunate but I'll just have to deal with it )

End of the year, brain juice is low and I'm a bit behind my school work. Oof I've been trying to squeeze in as many classes as I can before the year ends, so yeah the struggle is real. I might have to put that Diluc soulmate isekai work on hold for a while [sorry bird anon :(].

Moving on from the sad talk

Lmao kaeya bby you and Diluc r wasting time, trying to research the player. But I suppose, given their nature, they would 100% do a background check. Mondstadt's security is at hand

*remembering that got Venti got folded in front of HIS OWN cathedral*

Yeah, some security they have. Also, I really hope Kaeya wasn't OOC ;-; peacock man is hard to write, for me at least

oh before I forget Kaeya Mains we are going with a cryo build here most probably, so I should go with a skyward blade right? recommend mondstadt weapons only pls

*crawls back into box of shame*

this is not a very peaceful way to spend christmas...

fluff, chaos, headcanons, scenarios, short fic, modern school au, host club trope a/n: alright folks it's december 1, queue the christmas themed fics!! honestly this isn't that christmas themed, but it was a perfect excuse to write something host club inspired ehehe pls dont flop ahahah i lost the light in my eyes while writing this !

"alright everybody, listen up!" you shout desperately, wanting to get the attention of your noisy class. albedo, who was beside you, had already covered his ears, preparing for the chaos that was about to happen.

"tartaglia, please be quiet." you rub the side of your face as you pointed at him.

"as if i'll allow myself to listen to a bunch of officers my age! you're not the boss of me o esteemed class presi—"

"could you at least show some decent respect?" diluc said, turning to face the back of the classroom where childe was seated.

"yeah! you entitled piece of shit!" venti shouted and pointed at childe.

"hey! no swearing!" you put your finger to your lips, "you're gonna get in trouble for that!"

"ehe..."

"could we all just listen to the officers? it's pathetic how we're high school students, but we have to be treated like grade schoolers by the more mature people of the class. grow up," lumine said (very coolly), not even having to move in her seat for everyone to keep quiet.

"thank you," you cleared your throat before turning to the board, writing '3-1 christmas fair ideas' in all caps.

"so," you took a deep and tired breath, "the student council is holding a christmas fair, and all classes are expected to come up with a creative fund raiser. the funds will go to partner communities in need as part of the school's christmas drive project. so uh, this period is allotted for confirming our class activity, planning, and assigning work for each class members. any questions?"

aether raised his hand.

"yes aether?"

"are each classes limited to only one activity? what if we do two activities for extra funds?" he suggested.

"hm, i think there aren't restrictions, but i could ask the council president right now while you guys list down ideas." you turn to albedo, handing the marker. he nodded in agreement to take over as you hop off the platform.

"you can all go crazy with suggesting; i'll go to the office while albedo lists down ideas."

you enter your classroom once again after successfully confirming that, unfortunately, jean said only one activity was allowed per class, since each classes across the school is also expected to each have unique activities.

"guys—" the class was absolute chaos.

"why do you even want to do a maid cafe? that's so cringe, venti!" diluc said. you turn to albedo for an explanation, but he could only look at you and defeatedly shrug.

"well, we could always do a cafe without maids; like a bar, but no alcohol," kaeya suggested.

"but bro, that's so uncreative!" childe commented; he's in his thinking position, trying to come up with something better.

"oho, can blockhead think of anything better?" kaeya retorted.

"hey!"

in the corner of the classroom, xiao and aether were having a peaceful conversation.

lumine on the other hand, was about to stir up more chaos. "listen! listen. a host club."

the class went silent.

"soooo," you make yourself known, "about the two activities, i was wrong; only one activity per class is allowed."

"albedo!" lumine pointed, "host club!"

albedo wrote it legibly on the board, along with the other suggestions made thus far.

"hm, i suppose that's a pretty good number of suggestions. any more to add?" you ask the class, to which most either ignored or shook their heads in answer.

"let's vote already then. the sooner we submit, the more chances what we want to do will get approved."

"everyone who votes host club, raise you hand," albedo said.

and of course, whether begrudgingly or not, almost everyone raised their hand.

it seems you're having a very hectic christmas this year.

it actually starts under the cut!

lumine + aether

- they work in pairs. do not separate.

- lumine looks absolutely stunning in a suit (aether does too but lumine hits different), and unknowingly became very popular

- their table is crowded!! they're slowly overtaking the fan favorite

- people are attracted to their dynamic and interactions since lumine plays as the older sibling, and it's hard not to find aether cute when lumine seemingly babies him

- if you order a lot, they'll perform a christmas duet for you!

- one of their costumes during the duration of the host club was matching christmas elves

- even though the two of them are really busy doing their own part of the task at hand, they do make sure to ask how you are every now and then

- they know that organizing the class event is an extremely difficult task, so they try their best to show their appreciation of your hard work every so often :D

diluc

- the bartender that, to his misfortune, accidentally turned into a host

- he was literally just supposed to make and provide drinks considering he has experience from his father and their business

- but it somehow turned into people looking forward to entering your little host club in order to see diluc make a drink for them

- "may i take your order? we have a special promo going on, apparently," diluc tries his best not to sigh, "if you order a drink and a snack, i'll give it to you with a wink."

- venti came up with it and through your convincing (that diluc could not resist at all), he tried it

- you were the first tester, and as soon as you saw his wink, you just had to make it a special promo

- worked very well, to say the least

- diluc sees you standing most of the time, either greeting guests or walking around to supervise, so he tries to remind you to take a break at least every hour

- would give you a drink and a free wink and smile just to make you sit down and eat

venti

- everyone thought he was just kidding when he said he wanted to be a host; basically no one took him seriously except you

- he's a very good host though, to everyone's surprise

- he's sort of the idol within the group of hosts; he sings a lot for the people at his table, and if requested, he'd even play an instrument for them!

- he'd also often ask guests he's particularly fond of to dance with him while the others clap (you, eula, and amber were victims of this)

- he kisses the guest's hand and takes a bow in front of them after dancing, especially when it seemed like they were shy while doing so, and that's why he's so popular with the crowd

- he once started a tumult by offering a toast for you

- "i offer a toast!" venti shouted, garnering the attention of the people not only on his table, but from the other tables as well. "a toast to our beloved class president who helped organize this event!" queue the shouts of applause and clinking of glass

- you were so embarrassed because it was so sudden and random, but now you get random messages of gratitude and "merry christmas, manager, haha!" every now and then, so you guess it's heart warming...

kazuha

- he's from a different class, but he is your close friend, so he checked on you and your activity

- he's the vice president of class 3-3, so during the early days of the school year, you bumped into each other when the two of you accidentally entered the wrong venue for the leadership meeting

- you've became close friends ever since, often updating each other about leadership activities and other things that class officers have to attend

- he was with you when venti declared the random toast, and he was just as confused as you when everyone started shouting your name

- he laughed when you turned red with embarrassment, and raised his own ordered drink when he finally understood what was going on

- tries to stop by as often as he can to check on your mental health,, because your whole batch knows: your class is the rowdiest and has a reputation for being the least well-behaved (a very sad reputation, i know 😔)

- he got you a gift on the last day of the christmas fair! it was also the last day of school before the christmas break, so he took the opportunity to do so

- "congrats on a successful christmas fair, [name]," he smiled, offering you the gift. "i hope you enjoy the holidays! though we might not see each other till next year, it would be nice if we stayed in touch through text."

albedo

- during the first day of the host club/christmas fair, you had a breakdown after being told that the student in charge of the design team got sick, delaying the setting up of the venue

- albedo helped you in maintaining the organization of the activity, and offered to lead the design team and recall the tasks you needed to do

- when you came back after checking on the hosts and helping them wear their costumes and props, you came back to a very organized and well-set venue

- he reminds you to relax and trust the process, and often asks you to share some of your burdens with him

- gets really jealous when you talk to another vice president that's not him *cough kazuha cough*

- the two of you probably spent the most time together during the christmas fair

- you go to other classes' activities together!! totally because of obligation and not because he wants to spend time with you, of course

- he offers to buy food for you when the class you're visiting set up a food stall

- the two of you are teased for being a couple because you two have intertwined hands/arms whenever you're outside checking out the activities throughout the school, but you quickly dismiss it while albedo just shrugs

- you once lost him in a crowd because he sort of just silently accepts when he gets pushed away, and though he tries to catch your attention when you're getting carried far away by the crowd, his voice gets drowned

- so the obvious solution is holding hands, duh!

xiao

- a waiter turned host because he became popular by accident

- usually bangs drinks heavier than usual when he's delivering to childe's table

- he doesn't like childe in the slightest, if it isn't obvious

- he does have his own table but a lot of people still ask for his pictures because he looks really nice in a waiter outfit, and very cute when he wears that christmas hat

- after everyone knew that you were the president/ organizer/ manager/ turning maid of the class, people started asking you to take pictures of them with xiao

- some who are too shy to ask even ask you to ask xiao for them

- when the crowd learned that you and xiao were actually close friends, they bothered you even more

- xiao would use his scary dog privileges to ask them kindly to leave you alone because you're busy with more important stuff

- you laugh and tell them it's fine and xiao's obviously joking but everyone took it very seriously

- he doesn't mind getting pictures but he'd rather be asked directly

- there was a day when you wore a christmas costume with the twins (yes it was also an elf) and he asked someone to take a picture of him with you this time

- ever since, you've been hearing rumors around that xiao has a crush on you, but was too scared to ask (and he was making neither confirmation nor repute)

- asked if you wanted to meet up some time during the christmas break during the last day of school

- "oh uh... your christmas gift, i'll just send it on christmas eve if you uh, don't mind."

childe

- your relationship with childe is very weird (it's his fault smh)

- he's usually kind, or at least treats you normally when the two of you spend time together alone

- but for some reason, whenever you're doing officer duty, he becomes more irritable? annoying? obnoxious? disagreeable? loathsome? okay i'll stop

- but he's genuinely a nice guy, maybe he just has some hatred for the student council and officers after being sent to the principal's office for unruly student behavior too much times

- he's really popular!! the host club was a really good time for everyone to see the tamer and friendlier side to childe

- they love it when he talks about how he takes care of his brother and all silently agree that he has malewife potential

- the time when you were dressed up as an elf, he invited you to go to his table, and since you had to supervise anyway, you agreed

- he introduced you as a host and tried to make you act as one too, and though you were embarrassed at first, some of the people present at the table actually thought you were really cute!

- during the last day of the christmas fair, he picked up his brother from the elementary department and though everyone was already home because of excitement for the holiday break, he found you at the venue, cleaning the room

- he says that you should go home, but you refused, saying you'll stay a while to make sure that everything's tidy before leaving; you might get in trouble as the class president if you leave the venue dirty

- despite him only stopping by to get something he forgot, he and teucer gladly helped you tidy up, and you ended up going home together

kaeya

- THE FAN FAVORITE

- his table is crowded with people, and you always find yourself having to visit his table every once in a while to clear it of flowers and gifts

- you've dedicated your locker to keep all of the things that don't fit in his, to make sure no gift or flower gets wasted

- you usually help him and diluc transport all the flowers and gifts to their van by the end of each day too

- you were called to the principal's office one time during the christmas fair because of a very 'dedicated' fan of kaeya

- someone apparently reported that you were stealing kaeya's gifts and flowers behind his back (since you would usually take them away discretely and kaeya didn't pay attention most of the time)

- the news of you going to the principal's office spread wide, especially since your class knew of your absence— gossiping and talking amongst students is a magical force of it's own

- so when kaeya heard you were at the office getting your name tarnished for something so stupid and so false, he immediately barged out of the classroom and left everyone without a word

- he explains to the principal that you were only helping him, and you did it with full permission from him, and finally, you were dismissed

- apologized profusely because of having you go through all that useless business that just added to you already busy schedule

- gifted you flowers the next day

- "here, for yesterday. hey! stop laughing! i promise that's not from my fans, diluc can testify!"

scaramouche

- from class 3-2 (there are only three classes, btw)

- their activity is theatrical performance, which he is very good at, though it might not look like it

- invited you to watch prior the fair, and gave you a free ticket, saying that "your poor ass might not attend just because you're cheap" which you refute; you're going regardless if he invited you— you're gonna watch your other friends too!

- his performance was absolutely amazing together with the other class members (he dances really well)

- he once visited your class wearing his traditional inazuma costume for the play and everyone who watched their class's performance were so amazed to see him there too

- so he got really pissed when you should've been touring him around, but was instead bombarded with people asking to take pictures

- he lost his smile and composure when someone asked to wear his hat

- once it was peaceful and you managed to drag him away from the crowd, you asked if you could wear his hat as a joke

- but to your surprise he actually let you wear it

- "i think i understand why you like this hat," you say. it does its job to protect you from the whether, but it's also pretty refreshing and not too enclosed for the head to feel hot

- "you better give me a free drink for this one." "and you say i'm cheap!"

eula + amber

- part of class 3-2 too; amber's a script writer and director while eula is a performer/dancer!

- eula's the president and amber is the vice president, so you meet each other and became friends through leadership activities

- you toured them around one time after seeing they came, saying they wanted to support your class too after seeing you attended theirs earlier

- when you reached venti's area, he inevitably took this opportunity to take the hand of the dancer eula

- "why don't you dance with me, o performer from class 3-2?" "hmph. i suppose it wouldn't hurt."

- they absolutely made a stunning performance; the crowd was cheering on them and they were dancing as if there was music

- eula grabbed a hold of you, and you happen to be holding amber, so the two of you just got kind of got dragged to perform with venti and eula

- the four of you just enjoyed dancing to the claps of the crowd, and though you shyly stumbled here and there, it was undeniably, a really fun experience

- amber unfortunately had to go because of a next show, and eula needed to be on stand by for the next show, so the fun unfortunately came to a stop

kokomi + sara

- they were part of the student council, so you knew them through there

- part of class 3-3! the two of them found you and kazuha in the wrong venue after jean worried the two of you might have not been informed of the venue change

- you got a chance to catch up with them when you visited their class!

- their class has the least chaotic activity,, they basically just set up a gift shop, but what makes them unique kokomi's usage of each class member perfectly

- she suggested that gorou becomes a sort of adviser on what to give a specific person, while mona uses her astrology knowledge to tell whether the recipient is a good match for them if ever they're getting the gift for a crush (they're scarily very accurate in giving advice and intel)

- sara on the other hand suggested for yoimiya to put her pyrotechnics into good use and make safe and campus friendly sparklers, party poppers, and mild fireworks to sell in their small shop

- you have to admit that you used your connection with kokomi and sara to get discounts on the party poppers that your class wanted to get

- they invited you to stay at their shop for a while to catch up after seeing the absolute chaos at your class

- since they also had a polaroid rental, you bought sparklers and asked to buy a picture with the two of them before parting ways!!

- do not underestimate the power of polaroid pictures in making others jealous. *coughs in harem*

thoma + ayaka

- class 3-2 too

- when you learned that thoma was in charge of both moving props on stage, helping actors wear their costume, and touching up makeup, you'd be lying if you said you didn't wish you had him in your class

- ayaka looks absolutely gorgeous in her costume, and thoma did her beauty justice with the way he applied makeup

- the three of you met up backstage when all of you were having a break

- after asking about props and costumes and their process of preparing for the play everyday, thoma asked if you wanted him to put makeup on you just for fun

- ayaka, of course, second the motion, and you could not refuse when the two of them looked so willing to fix you up

- it was relaxing to say the least, that amidst a stressful day, ayaka was there practically giving you a head massage while fixing your hair, and thoma was carefully applying makeup onto your face, with a gentle dab here and there

- "oh! you're doing a look similar to scaramouche's i see," ayaka comments, looking at you with wide eyes

- "yeah! i thought the eyeliner would look well on them," thoma says proudly, and he sure was correct!

- you left their class looking like you had just performed, and though your class was a little disappointed you got pampered by class 2, they were not going to deny that they did an absolutely good job at doing it

ganyu + keqing

- class 3-2, part of the student council, ONE OF THE POPULAR KIDS OML

- they were going on rounds to keep each activity in check, and happened to meet you directly when they checked your class

- ganyu says it's doing great, but the critic keqing was, she said she absolutely hated how crowded it was, no offense

- you agreed though, there was no day that the venue of your class wasn't jam-packed

- so to continue your conversation, you just accompanied them, taking a walk outside as part of your break

- it was quite overwhelming to be receiving a lot of greeting as you walked by casually, and you had to remind yourself that it was of course because you were walking with one of the two most popular kids in school

- after you expressed that this christmas fair was indeed very tiring, they treated you to some ice cream away from the part of the campus that was occupied by a lot of people

- they also showed you a secret empty room that was always air-conditioned, saying you're free to use it under the council's permission if ever you needed to take a break from being around so many people <3

bonus: class 2-1 and 2-2

- since you wanted to support the christmas fair, you also checked out the activities prepared by the other batches, one of which was from the batch below you

- you were surprised that two classes actually banded together to achieve a sort of singular event

- class 2-1 were a class of performers, but they had one member who wanted to do a restaurant so bad

- class 2-2 on the other hand felt as if their restaurant idea was too plain

- so together, they banded a musical restaurant!

- xinyan + barbara: main vocals

- chongyun: drummer

- yun jin: main dancer/face

- hu tao, xingqiu + yanfei: rappers/second vocals

- xiangling + razor: chefs

- noelle + sucrose: waitresses

- bennett + fischl: hosts/ main organizers

bonus: elementary

- since they were too young to come up with their own activities, the little ones were performing a dance show that others could attend and watch

- the officers were required to watch, while childe was watching for his brother, so you, albedo, and childe all go to show together

- qiqi: flower

- klee: sun

- diona: cloud

- teucer: lion

- sayu: tree

- it was fun seeing the absolute chaos they were wreaking on stage, but no one says anything about it because they're just too cute while doing it too

bonus! if u wanted reference and visualization of who was in who's class
