ZHONGLI had always been a calm and composed person through and through. With all that he’s been through in the millenia, there is very little that could surprise him by now. But it seems that the same couldn’t be said as he gets accustomed to the ways of mortal life. It was then that he begins to realize that humans—mortal life is full of unexpected events. 

“Dear, can you come here for a minute?” 

He supposes he should not have been surprised. After all, you two had been going out together far more often than not. It is safe to say that you both have mutual feelings towards each other. 

Yet the calm touch of your voice lets the barriers he had put up in his soul slowly fade away as if the numbness of his scars had begun to recover from its wounds. 

His hand finds your waist as he cracks a smile, “What is it, dearest?” 

┌───────── ·  ·  ·  · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

XIAO feels a rush wave of warmth travel to his face and his chest hammers almost in an instant. You said “that word” so very smoothly, like it was made for your lips to utter to him.

The summer festivals with Diluc are quite interesting. Since he's always so business with the wine industry, you'll have to convince him to take a few days off to enjoy the summer festivities with you. He eventually concedes, since he has been working hard, and you used your puppy eyes, your best weapon.

With the streets of Mondstadt being so crowded due to the festivities, he'll use that as an excuse to hold your hand, so you won't get lost in the sea of people.

You convince him to buy the foods from the street vendors, and as you gobble away, he'll stop you before wiping away any loose crumbs from the corners of your mouth. Diluc thinks that you look like a cute little chipmunk when you eat to your heart's content.

Diluc may seem hesitant to participate in the games that are provided, but he eventually agrees. He actually scores quite high and seems to be surprised that you're surprised he did so well. If you start praising him, he'll avert his eyes and cough in an attempt to hide his blush.

He noticed that you had been eyeing some relationship bracelets. He heard that they were to be gifted to someone you loved as a way of telling them you'd love them forever. Diluc ended up buying a matching one for you, and you excitedly slip one onto his wrist. It seems childish, but the thought behind it makes his heart race.

You occasionally take breaks from the bustling and loud environment of the festival and take breathers in an alleyway. You can't stop giggling because Diluc, despite what he says, is actually enjoying himself. You reward him with kisses because he's so damn cute.

When it's finally time for the fireworks, Diluc finds a good secluded spot for the two of you, and as the fireworks light up the dark night sky, you let your head rest against his shoulder. The colorful and explosive sight takes your breath away, and you can tell Diluc is just as amazed as you are.

With Kaeya, the summer festival is never boring. He's always stirring up something, whether it be good or bad. Kaeya makes sure to flee from the scene with you in tow. He wouldn't want to ruin your date now, would he?

You've had to stop his shenanigans more than once, and had to haul his ass away. You swear you're gonna get a headache from how much mischief he makes.

Kaeya will participate in the festival games playful, not really caring if he scores high or not. But he does make sure to flex should you be watching. He puffs up his chest the whole time with a shit-eating smirk.

He absolutely buys the festival wine but makes sure the two of you are sitting while drinking. If you're not in the mood for wine, he'll let you choose another drink. As long as it's not grape juice. He will judge you the whole time.

If you overheat from the hot summer night, he'll press his hand against your forehead to cool down your body temperature. If Kayea is feeling more teasing, he'll begin to kiss your face all over, and he'll chuckle at your embarrassed face.

Did he just steal a bouquet that was meant for decoration and give it to you? Damn right he did. You wonder if that damn bard put him up to it, or if the wine is getting to his brain.

Kaeya actually takes you up on the Mondstandt walls and sits atop them when the fireworks explode in the air. The two of you swing your legs slightly before he turns to you and presses a chaste kiss on your cheek. The sincerity in his smile and azure eyes says everything.

You and Klee were the deciding factors in taking him to a festival. The two of you gave him your best puppy eyes before he finally cracked and agreed. But you owe him big time.

Klee is practically on a sugar high, bouncing from vendor to vendor, and you're out of breath from how much you've been chasing after the little one. Albedo is giving you the most subtly 'I-told-you-so' look he's ever given.

The two of you take turns carrying Klee when she gets a bit exhausted, but when the two of you aren't carrying her, you'll be holding hands while you enjoy the atmosphere of the festival.

Sucrose might actually have an alchemy stand set up, and she'll shyly greet the two of you before letting you try out the activities she set up with Timaeus' help, and Albedo giving out his thoughts every so often. Klee got a really pretty flower that took a few tries, but it was worth it.

Albedo buys a really nice dinner for the three of you to enjoy, and a small dessert for Klee to have since she was constantly asking for one. You and Albedo share one, with you feeding Albedo small forkfuls' of it. When he's full, he'll lean against your shoulder, his fluffy blonde locks tickling your cheek.

While Klee is excitedly trying out the games provided at the festival, you're just hoping she doesn't ask you or Albedo, because you know that he would probably stink at it, and the same can be said for you. If either one of you is called over by Klee, the other will be either laughing or just sighing in relief that they won't embarrass themselves.

You and Albedo take Klee down to the docks by Cider Lake, with Klee sitting on your lap. She's incredibly hyper when the first firework bursts into the air. Unbeknownst to her, you and the chief alchemist have your fingers intertwined together as you admire the dazzling sight.

This man knows every single detail about the summer festivals that take place in Liyue. Zhongli knows the history of the festival, what kinds of games and food will be set up, and what kind of aesthetics the festivals will follow.

Zhongli is rather eager to tell you all about the history of the festivals, and it warms his heart that you're actually listening and taking in what he says. But what really warms his heart is when you recall details that he told you himself.

You make sure that he remembers to bring his damn wallet, and he does end up forgetting it, you end up bringing it in your pocket. Now hopefully he won't spend his money on overpriced gifts sold at the festival.

He bought simple paper fans for the two of you so you could at least stay nice and cool whenever it gets too hot. The close proximity of the crowd gets overwhelming too quickly, so you're grateful for the fans.

Zhongli actually bought you simple but elegant hairpins, and they were at quite a decent price. He of course paid with his own mora. You were surprised by how beautiful they were, but you can't say that it wasn't pleasant. You let out a happy smile at the sudden but welcomed gift.

He is the one who recommended which dishes to try out, and, well, who are you to say no to this man? He describes every dish in very accurate detail, and what they taste like. By the end of it, you swear that you're gonna go into a food coma from how full your belly is.

When the fireworks begin, Zhongli holds you close to him, his arm wrapped around your side, and when the brightest firework begins its crescendo, he brings your hand to his lips and presses a firm but gentle kiss to it, as a way of thanking you for spending this festival with him.

ー 𝐗𝐈𝐀𝐎

The fact that you convinced this man to participate is enough to get an award. With his rather aloof and offputting personality, you honestly thought he was gonna say no. He questions the fact that you were prepared for rejection, but sighs and just acknowledges it as another odd human thing.

Just to look cute, you bought a simple but cute custom-made hanfu outfit that matched Xiao's outfit color scheme. It was complete with a paper fan. He didn't expect you to look this cute, but here you were, smiling in his direction and bouncing on the walls just to go. He never properly says it, but he thinks you look absolutely stunning.

He stands guard while you innocently hold his hand while exploring all that the festival has to offer. It's not that he doesn't trust you to be by yourself, he just doesn't trust the people that could have ill will towards you. He's doing his best though, so you don't mind too much.

You convinced Xiao to release lanterns with you, that you made yourself too! He gives you a look, but eventually comes around, and watches them float off into the night sky with the rest of Liyue's. It's honestly an amazing sight, so Xiao better be prepared for you randomly releasing lanterns whenever you please.

If you struggle with any of the festival games and they just so happen to require speed, well, Xiao just so happens to offer his help with your weird human games, so you let him at it. You are pleasantly surprised by how good he is at them. He actually won a plush of a certain dragon, and you're happily nuzzling into it the whole night.

When you need an energy recharge, you buy yourself a simple dessert, and Xiao refused any food since he technically doesn't require it. You're too busy to notice the rather gentle look that Xiao's golden eyes hold in them when he gazes at you.

Xiao actually takes you to the same spot where he witnessed the lanterns of the Lantern Rite. His golden hues hold the same wonder as they did at the previous festival when the fireworks show begins. You give him a simple kiss on the cheek as your thanks, and he almost sputters at the sudden affection. Your Xiao is really like a cat.

This man is so damn excited just to have a date with you at any festival. If you didn't know any better, you'd think that you could see a tail frantically and eagerly wagging back and forth. Since his homeland is basically a real-world freezer, I doubt that they'd really have any summer activities. So your best bet would have been in Liyue.

Since he's a walking wallet, he'll eagerly cover the costs. Don't have a nice outfit to wear? Well, he bought matching ones for the two of you! Ran out of mora while out buying snacks? Don't worry baby, he's gotcha covered.

Childe is all too eager to share food with you, even purposefully ordering one serving, and make it so that the two of you can feed one another. You're giving him a very judgemental look, but just humor him by taking a bite, and he's physically holding himself back from squealing how cute you are.

He does get very competitive with the festival games, but he can also just buy you a prize, but you're giving him the look again, so he has to earn a prize fair and square. He actually managed to get a fairly medium-sized narwhal plush. It reminds you of him a bit, and it's really squishy too.

Someone had a setup for photos, and Childe is all too eager for that. After a few tries, he keeps the one where you embrace each other with silly grins. He'll take it on his next mission so he can never feel lonely.

If there's any type of games that actually require strategy, you bet that Childe will put the other team to shame. The man is a harbinger for God's sake, he's being paid to strategize. His winning not only boosts his ego, but he gets to show off how clever and smart he is.

Childe took you up to a roof of a nearby building to have a clear and unblocked view of the fireworks. While they're blasting away into the night, he'll press his forehead against yours, gazing into your eyes briefly before giving you quite the loving kiss. It's the perfect cherry on top for the night.

ー 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇𝐄

He'll say no very firmly to your face, and then later yell at his subordinates to finds a damn good festival. They're all scrambling to find one to his tastes, while he's wondering if you'll enjoy your time with him.

You wore a simple violet-blue kimono that reminded you of Scara's vibrant and electrifying eyes. You didn't even give him time to react before dragging him and lightly chastising him for being an arse. When you aren't looking, his eyes are studying your form, without the usual harshness to them.

Did he really laugh at some poor guy that dropped his food? Yes absolutely. If he doesn't laugh, he has a very satisfied smirk upon his lips, while you're questioning everything you've ever done up to that point.

You don't let him near any of the games that can make one's anger and frustration spike tenfold. You know that he can and will try to commit arson on the poor game, so you just do it yourself, regardless of how much Scara tells you that you suck.

When the two of you take a quick snack break, you definitely try to play footsie with him, because he can't exactly cause a scene because of your feet, so he has to sit there and accept his fate. If he tries to kick you, however, he's dead meat.

Scara is actually decently good at making origami, much to your surprise. He seems rather offended that you didn't think him capable of doing such simple folding, so he'll use this opportunity to tease you at every wrong fold. If someone else tries that though, he'll beat them up. He gets boyfriend rights.

The two of you watch the fireworks from a bridge that overlooks a majority of the crowds and watchful eyes. So you'll be sure to get back at him by firmly hugging him and pressing your kisses everywhere. He's hissing at you to let go and to quit it, but you won't let this opportunity go to waste so you don't relent. All while the fireworks burst away and light up the two of you.

ー 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐈𝐅

He was a bit hesitant at first, but since he knows it's something that you look forward to, he agrees. You, however, insist that he change into something more fitting and that doesn't stand out. Well too bad for him, because you bought quite the handsome suit that is very breathable and light for the summer nights. He doesn't know how you know his sizes but he accepts it nonetheless.

Dainsleif holds your hand the whole time, before and after interacting with the festivities. It's a mix of safety reasons, but also your hand looks so cute and he was a bit shy to initiate hand-holding, but once you notice and hold his hand in yours, he's never letting go.

He insists on paying for everything, regardless of how much mora you brought. Dainsleif doesn't mind, as he'll buy you anything you want, regardless of the price. He doesn't mind paying for your meal and drink, despite your protests. Hell, he'll even feed you himself if you let him. You pout and whine that he spoils you too much, to which he only responds with a breathy chuckle and a heartfelt," Forgive me, but you're so endearing that I can't help but spoil you."

Dainsleif is quite relatively new to these types of games, but you assure him that you don't know what you're doing either, so you can both learn together. He didn't win a top prize or anything, but rather, matching rings. After some thought, you slipped them onto your ring fingers with a tender smile and giggle before dragging Dain off to a new vendor. After that, he's much more flushed and can't stop staring at the new ring.

You bought him a cute little wind chime, that had the same dark blues as did he. It was almost like a cute mini him of sorts. You gazed at it for a bit, before telling him that if he ever thought of you, he could hang up the wind chime and listen to its tune and think of you.

If he notices that you're getting tired, he'll offer to carry you so your feet won't get any more sores upon them. You decline and insist that he doesn't have to. He respects your decision, but he also lets you lean against him to balance your weight back and forth.

Dainsleif asks for your permission to kiss you, wanting your consent first. He'll let his deep blue eyes gaze lovingly into your own before he finally kisses you. Just as the first firework of the night blooms into a fiery and colorful explosion. It's the most romantic thing you could ask for.

ー 𝐓𝐎𝐇𝐌𝐀

His damn energy almost puts Childe's to shame, as he's eagerly skipping up to you and asking you out on a date to the festival. His excited smile melts your heart, and you like the man, so you agree. Tohma is practically telling the entirety of Inazuma about his date at this point.

Tohma bought sparkles for the two of you, so you could enjoy the joy they bring, and you can draw in the air. You had to elbow him just for attempting to draw suggestive things. There are children here Tohma, think of the innocent children. It was still funny as hell though

You actually suggested wearing matching kimono's and he's actually ecstatic about that idea. But his heart was not prepared when he saw how amazing you looked in yours. Tohma refuses to leave your side for the entirety of the festival since he knows others will think the same thing too.

He likes sharing his food with you and letting you take small nibbles. You don't really mind, since, hey, free food, so you take your bites and that's that. But in Tohma's head, the fact that the two of you put your lips on the same piece of food means that you indirectly kissed.

Tohma has gotten a little too competitive with the small games, mostly so he can show off, but also so he can gift you something special. He wants you to be able to remember these moments with him forever.

There was a small play of sorts that was happening, so you sit in between Tohma's legs to save space, and after a bit, he wraps his arms around you and rests his chin on your shoulder. You're too enthralled with the play's plot to notice how happy Tohma is to just be near you.

When it's time for the fireworks, and they've begun to really light up the night, Tohma will turn to you, rubbing the nape of his neck, about to say something when you pull him down for a kiss. He's absolutely frozen until you pull away, happily thanking him for the fun night before watching the spectacle before you. Tohma is an absolute mess and he's ready to combust at this point.

#are they still the only one?

—where he saw you with the traveller and he got jealous

CHARACTERS. Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli

THEMES. jealousy. suggestive on gorou’s and just a bit on kazuha’s. quite angsty on some parts. fluffy on some as well. established relationship.

NOTES. quite rushed, i think… i hope it’s okay though! i may not be able to be active for the meantime but i hope i do get back when i can. please enjoy this~ this is also kind of a part 2 of “Are you still the only one?” where the reader is the jealous one

The sun was setting and the moon had started to show itself amongst the skies, his eyes drifting past among these and soon, realization dawned into him after a whole day of work. Where were you? It doesn’t seem like he had seen you for an entire day.

Shrugging to himself and letting his worries succumb him later, he moves on to go home, at last, to be engulfed in the warmth of your presence alone would save him from the clutches of exhaustion and stress.

On the way home, however, a sight he surely did not expect welcomes him—one that he did not need or want to after today.

His shoulders tensed and the ground that was below him seems to have taken a liking to him with how his foot remained planted on it and refused to interrupt such a conversation you were having with the traveler. It was the very same traveler he had known and trusted, alright, but what were they doing here with you?

Surely, it was for him, right?

But… why did it feel like he’d ruin a beautiful moment between the two of you?

“Alright, farewell, traveller,” your voice stopped him from calling onto you, even if he did think of trying to, your eyes transfixed to the other, leaning in to embrace the traveler and bid them goodbye.

ALBEDO contemplates what to do, the gears of his mind trying to think of a way to remove such negative thoughts and try to remember the care and promises you had given him. What was he thinking? Of course, he trusted you, he trusted the traveler, what was stopping him?

He was bothered by it that it would take awhile before he got inside the house and faced you.

“What was the traveller doing here?” his question came first in spite of the cheery greeting you gave, his eyes boring a different kind of emotion that he had never given before—you doubt he even knows what expression he was doing as well.

“Is that the only reason why?” his gaze was downcast, looking down in shame for all the conclusions his mind were drawing before he had even gotten to ask you.

CHILDE hides behind the shadows and observes the both of you. This was nothing new to him… but he felt betrayed, somehow. You and the traveller? What could this mean? He knew how to sense an atmosphere, and this certainly wasn’t one that should be between two who weren't supposed to know each other.

He wouldn’t be speaking about it with you until it just gets to him and he questions you when you two were lying on the bed, “What was the traveller doing here?” he looks you in the eye, “Are you seeing them frequently?”

He’s quite untrusting, even if you reassure him that nothing was wrong. However, once things had settled and that you had finally noticed his unusualness, he will tell you his worries and that he’ll try his best not to feel such things again.

DILUC was bothered, but his feet dragged him into where you and the traveler were, bidding goodbye as well before turning to you, stopping you before you could even go inside the mansion, “What was that?” he questions, unable to stop himself, unfortunately.

“I, wait, I apologize,” he realizes, looking away momentarily and his hold on your arm loosening, “Let’s not talk about this,”

He will keep it all in. Even if you ask him, he won’t tell you. Before, he knew he didn’t deserve love such as yours, but now he doubts he can even live without it. So even if it still bothers him, he’ll just keep it all in… for now.

GOROU feels his skin crawl almost as immediately as he saw the both of you. He practically leaps towards where you two were and clings onto your arm. “Farewell, traveller,” he says and waits until they are out of sight, “What did they want?” he inquires, wary. Once he was satisfied—not so—with the answer, he pulled you aside and his lips were already on your neck, marking you. He’s… unusually quiet too and will probably walk away right after. The only time he will get to talk was when he had calmed his mind and return back home.

KAEYA teases you first. “Oh? I didn’t know you and the traveler we knew each other. Care to tell the story?” he will listen intently and will not even seem to be jealous, but he was listening very well and hopes—not actually hoping—that he would catch you in your lies. But if there was none, he’d give you a smile and press a peck on your forehead, his shoulders easing up so suddenly in relief, probably.

“That sounds nice, now what’s for dinner, love? I’m quite hungry.”

But actually, on the back of his mind, he was thinking of how you and the traveller probably looked better together and how you deserve someone that wasn’t him. He was so lucky to have someone like you… but how sure is he that he even deserves it?

KAZUHA finds himself kissing you when the traveller was out of sight, his slim fingers catching your skin as you greeted him, pulling you gently to a passionate kiss. His lips mended with your own and he even lightly bites on your bottom lips while his plum eyes were on yours the moment you opened them. He doesn’t advance towards you that often whenever you two were outside and even if you’re basically in front of your house, it was still unusual of him to do such rash actions.

“What’s gotten into you, Kazu?” you giggled, and he was suddenly out of a trance at the joy that your face emitted, smiling in response.

“Nothing, my dove,” his hand falls onto your waist, pulling you near him, “let’s get inside, the winds are bound to get cold at night.”

Actually, wait a minute, SCARAMOUCHE doesn’t trust the traveler one bit. He snarls as he marches his way towards the two of you, bringing himself in between, as if defending you against the other. “And what brings you here, traveller? Must I have to see you out or would you want my Y/n instead?”

He’s possessive especially if he doesn’t trust others—which happens most of the time since it’s only you whom he genuinely trusts amongst everyone else. He was merely protecting you, “Weaklings such as they do not deserve your attention,” he turns to you, “unless you wanted to give it to them, hm?” he eyes you, only to scoff, “Nevermind, come, let’s go back.”

Another selfish man, actually. He would rather not talk about it unless he sees definite proof to be distrustful.

THOMA was instantly by your side, not really minding the tightness in his chest, forcing a smile to curl on his lips and also say goodbye to the traveller. His arm goes to your waist and you’d immediately know there was something wrong.

“I’m just curious as to… when you and the traveller had known each other. That’s all!” he still keeps that smile of his even if he knows that you were sensing it.

Honestly, one kiss from you and words of reassurance will be enough for him to lighten up again and feel his worries slowly disappear.

VENTI is conflicted. Nonetheless, he laces a smile on his face and shows it to both you and the traveller. But once the other was gone, he turns to you with a pout on his face, clinging onto your arm and whining, “I never knew you and the traveller were that close… are you sure they were not flirting with you? Tell me the truth, windblume.”

He’s not convinced even if you reassure him.

“Seal it with a kiss?” he puckers his lips, and even if you peck him, he follows up, “Another one?”

Insignificant. XIAO thinks these “feelings” are trifling, why should an adepti like him feel such things that only a human could? “Foolish,” he voices out and that’s when you notice him, standing not too far from both you and the traveller. Now, he has no choice but to stand next to you as the other bids goodbye. Actually, he was looking down the whole time, his arms crossed to his chest with a troubled look on his face. You may even have to hold his face and make him look at you to catch his attention.

“What’s bothering you, baby?”

He purses his lips to stop himself, but he finds that it was difficult not to answer you truthfully. “Have you and the traveller… been seeing each other?”

It held a double meaning, he knew, but his muscles eases up when you answer the words that he wanted to hear. He knows they were just his mere desires but… for some reason even if they were not true, he doesn’t want to hear it.

ZHONGLI trusts you wholeheartedly, but not the traveller. You see, he’s a god who has seen many lifetimes, trust is not something he freely gives even to the savior of Liyue.

He’s selfish, at a certain extent. He knows how to handle his desires and how to perform them with the perfect timing. He doesn’t bombard you with questions suddenly, unless he waits until you two had relaxed in your home with a cup of tea in both of your hands.

“Say, sweetheart, what did the traveller came here for?” he inquires, listening very well how you would respond.

“Of course I saw it… is there something to not see?” you’d sense the pressure in the air, and even with the calm demeanor he held, you will be sure that this was a confrontation, not a casual conversation. Once he hears your answer, he’ll calmly stand up and press a gentle kiss on your temple and you won’t even know what was inside his mind with how well he keeps it in.

In my personal opinion, he’s the scariest if he’s mad or jealous.

It took awhile for me to finish but I hope you liked it and I did justice to the idea hahaha. Let me know what your thoughts are on this one okok? I personally liked Albedo’s and Diluc’s on this one hehe

Writing Commissions || Send a Kofi!

ZHONGLI’s life far exceeds humans or probably any other kind, that he knew and was aware of. Each life comes to an end, but fate decides that he, amongst others, was one who shall be “blessed” with years more than he could imagine. The days had been long and the nights were not too far away, yet he persisted. With time in his hands, he knew he needed something to do, to distract himself and to merge into the society of humans.

“Good morning, would you like to avail Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s new promo?” that voice, oh, of course, he knew, he just knew. Tone like a melody heard from the mountain tops and by the rivers, where he’d want to stop and drink tea with the peace overcoming him.

You—he knew it was you and he confirmed it when he turns around and sees your eyes, your face—it really was you.

Memories come flashing in like it was just yesterday, but he held his face—still calm despite the turmoil on the inside. He was taken aback, but no one can notice it, not even you.

“The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor,” he repeats, clearing his throat, “I heard they are trying to hire a consultant, is the job still vacant, perhaps?”

XIAO, the sole-surviving yaksha, had seen many things, defeated many demons or enemies anyone else could count, even himself. Yet one thing he dare not want to witness again was what happened to you. Of course, he knew love—knew it like the back of his hand, but now he rejects it, pushes it away before the same thing repeats again like a neverending curse he couldn’t run away from.

When he saw you, it was like the air had been sucked out of his lungs, his throat clogged up, and flashbacks he wished he could never visit again came on his mind as his eyes widened slowly, gaze focused on your form not too far away from Wangshu Inn. He wanted to go away, to flee before he gave in, but he was magnetized by your pull—or more like destiny wills it to happen.

He unconsciously reaches his hand out but as soon as he realized he did, he pulls away; his hand, his gaze, and himself; disappearing into that one place you and him used to go to when you were once alive before, convincing himself that this was not you that he knew before. This was another you, one he would not want to hurt anymore, not after what happened.

VENTI had questioned himself far too many times; what was his purpose? Why does he still walk among the lands, as if he was waiting for something, or someone. Right. He was waiting for you. This was what had been on his mind that maybe the other gods above granted his wish to lay his eyes on you once again, to hear you voice that he had missed so much.

He would never let you go again, not anymore.

“You must be new here,” he muses, hands on his waist, relishing in the way your eyes landed on his and they were connecte again—finally, “a pleasure to meet you! Outlanders are very much welcome here in Mondstadt, allow me, your humble bard, to tour you around if you’d like!”

THOMA is the neighborhood boy who had always given you a welcoming smile despite not knowing each other that much. He has this aura that you’d want to have in your life, to suck in the positivity he has, almost like the sun—a beaming smile, a warm voice.

“Have I met you before?” one day, he decides to talk to you, like he does to others who are in your neighborhood. You, for one, thought it was just his way of trying to befriend you, but you didn’t know how much he had been longing to have a conversation with you, how much courage he had mustered to walk and talk to you—this had never happened to him, not to anyone else.

It must be why he said those words and sparked a new kind of connection that he just had the feeling that this was not new… you and him. If past lives were true, then he’d believe he was with you.

SCARAMOUCHE has a knack of getting into your nerves each and every time you see him. Yet when others try to do the same, he’s angry at them.

“What’s your problem, even?” you called him out when the same thing happened all over again; others trying to tease you until he comes and glares at them and says “Have you got no better else to do?”

“Shouldn’t that be my line?” he hisses, “I drove them away, what’s your problem?”

You scoffed, “It’s you, Scaramouche—or should I say lord Harbinger?”

He huffs out a breath, “How courageous of you to talk back to me, tsk, why have you always been like this?”

You were left alone as he walks away without another word, leaving you to wonder what his last statement might have meant.

It’s weird, how you felt like you had known KAZUHA even way before you two had met when you were children. Your connection was like gravity, pulling you his way and him to yours, one that he admitted as well.

“Kazu… do you think we knew each other in our past lives?” you questioned him as you both gazed upon the sky, littered with stars as you held your hand out as if reaching out to one of them, searching for their glow. As you do this, KAZUHA reaches out to your hand, grasping it on his own before pulling it on his side and landing soft kisses on each of your knuckles.

“If it’s you, my dove, then I don’t think such an idea would be absurd.”

KAEYA intrigues you, probably just as much as you seemed to him as well. Something in him makes you curious as to if he hides secrets behind that masked eye of his behind his eyepatch. Fleeting glances, flirtatious remarks, sly smiles.

“Who knew I’d find you here, Y/n,” he says that one time you sought solace beside the Cathedral, eyes lingering on the waters around the city of Mondstadt, deep in thought, “A Mora for your thoughts?”

You giggled, averting your eyes his way, “How about we exchange secrets then?”

“Secrets?” he laughs, “If you want one, then I’ll tell you.” he pauses, “Have you ever heard of reincarnations?”

When GOROU met you, he was in the middle of a fight—sort of. You were calling his name and for some reason, he knew yours. By the time he had woken up, your face came into view but he didn’t find you familiar at all, except by the uniform you wore that indicated that you were part of the medical team for the soldiers of the Resistance.

“You called them by name, sir,” one of them says, “do you know them?”

“You know, it’s a rumor that you say your past life’s lover’s name when you’re on the brink of death… maybe…”

“Stop that,” he scolds, “rumors are rumors, you should all focus on our mission at hand.”

He may have dismissed his soldiers but the thought of their words lingered in his thoughts until he saw your eyes again and a single name crossed his mind. Yours.

DILUC had always been intimidating for you, he had this aura that pushed most people away, especially those who dare not want to receive his silence and the glare of his eyes. He was a man full of walls, but it was still a curious thing how you had brought it down.

“I feel like this had happened before,” you said out of the blue one day when you were out with him, waling into the fields that littered all over the city for one to explore too freely.

“What did?”

“This,” you raised your interlinked hands, him with his signature glove that still radiated the warmth of the skin beneath it, “it’s like… we’ve been lovers before.”

He was silent for a little while, and you half expected he would think it was such a stupid idea, but he lets out a chuckle. For those who knew DILUC, they know how difficult it was for him to smile and react like that—only you were probably one of the only ones who could.

“What made you think of that, my love?” he finally speaks, to which you answered,

“I don’t know. It just feels like it. Don’t you think so too?” you peeked into his expression and your heart skipped a beat to see the small smile on his face, especially when he gazes at your way as well.

“I do admit I do feel that as well.”

CHILDE’s enemies had always been those whom he felt were stronger than him, ones that would make him look weak compared to them, against them. When you came in and defeated him in a game of wits, he knew he just had to defeat you one way or another. It was not too long when he realized that you two were like puzzle pieces that were far different but fit each other nonetheless. You two were meant for each other, to fight? Whatever it was, he just knew this was a far too special connection than any other else.

So he decides to beat you in one way he knew that could effectively do so.

He brings his knee down and he could see how you froze in your place, eyes widening in surprise and realization of what he was about to do and what words he was about to say.

Deep blue with the velvety texture of a box on his hand, he opened them and presents the ring in front of you, “Y/n, I don’t think I can hold onto this any longer without seeing it on your finger. The moment I met you, I knew it felt like I had already known you for a very long time. Will you marry me?”

The fallen blossoms get flown away by the wind far from its tree branch, but AYATO knew that two souls could never wander away when they were meant to meet. He believed in soulmates—how silly, isn’t it? Such were just fairytales from their grandparents but it was kept in his heart, even more, reminded by it the day he met you.

“It must be fated for us to cross paths, don’t you think?” were his first words, a knowing smile on his face as he anticipated for what you’d say—would you pull away? Raise a brow at him?

Your giggle resounds in the air, a soft curve on your lips as you replied, “It is quite a pleasure to meet you as well, Master Kamisato. I did not expect a person such as you would believe in such beliefs as well.”

“Well then, do you not?” he questions further, yet that look in your eyes made him think that he knew what the answer was.

“Why should I not when my supposed soulmate is standing in front of me?”

ALBEDO knew he could never impersonate the life in your eyes, to draw them on paper and paint their same hues, same shine. He tried far too many times but never were they ever enough.

His fingers graze over his new drawing of yours and just then, he did not realize someone was already beside him, gazing onto his sketchbook with curious eyes.

“That looks beautiful.”

He dare not speak but the moment he turns and glances at you, his chest tightens for an unknown reason, frozen in place as he waited for you to go away—was he hallucinating? Surely this image is far too perfect to imitate-

“Oh, I apologize if I frightened you. I’m from Sumeru Academy, you must be Mr. Albedo? The Genius Alchemist they’ve been talking about. I came here to meet you.”

Little do you know that as you reached out your hand to him and he reluctantly shook your hand, ALBEDO was breathless.

“Yes, that is me. To what do I owe this pleasure… Y/n?”

It had been so long since he mentioned that name. He might have to tell Klee not to say a word before you and her cross paths or else the past will unravel itself before he could even control it.

AETHER is not unfamiliar with both separation and death. When he lost you 500 years ago, the world crumbled around him and he thought he could never see you again, to have more time with you. Why must this happen to him, he questions far too many times. Yet the answers to them seem to be nonexistent—or more like he did not wish to dwell on it any further, not now that he had met you once again. The stars have finally aligned for him to gaze upon your form and be given the time that was robbed from both of you when you fell along with Khaenriah.

“Y/n… it’s you,” he says, and he remembered wishing that if he was asleep, he did not want to wake up.

“Who… who are you?”

His chest tightens at your words but a smile forms on his face—forced upon, more like.

“Did you really wish you’d like to know more about me?”

∿ characters: thoma, zhongli, ayato, gorou, childe, diluc, kazuha, kaeya, itto, heizou, albedo × f! reader.

ʚ♡ɞ — For Thoma, there’s nothing better than coming home after a tedious day spent working for the Kamisato’s. Loves sprinting to your shared bedroom and you’re already there, laying on the bed waiting for his arrival all pretty and ready for him. Thoma crawls over to you, cupping your cheeks as soon as he’s between your legs and places soft, needy kisses all over your face whilst whispering in his little whiny voice how much he’s missed you and that he hasn't been able to stop thinking about you all day long ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — Zhongli loves having his sweet darling sitting on his thighs, one of your cheeks resting against his chest as he strokes your hair, gently running his hands down your neck, causing you slight tickles. Zhongli tells you stories about the past with a low, tender and deep voice making your heart flutter in delight, his words being only interrupted by random kisses that he leaves on your head, occasionally using his slender fingers to gently press on your chin and lift your head up so he can easily access your pretty mouth, putting his lips against yours as he whispers how much he loves you, sending shivers down your spine everytime his breath touches your skin. ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — Ayato sits you between his legs, your back leaning against his chest, taking advantage of this position to wrap his arms around you and get you even closer to himself. He just needs more of his beloved darling! Ayato loves moving his hands up and down your torso slowly, caressing every inch of you as he tilts his head slightly to leave little kisses on your shoulder, neck, cheeks. Practically, all the places that are within his reach. He often teases you too, going from barely brushing his lips against your skin to leaving a small nibble on it only to listen to your complaints with a sly grin. Poor darling of his... but do you really want him to stop? ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — Gorou snuggles into your lap, doing his best to get his entire body on top of yours. If he can't, all he does is rest his head on your thighs, looking defeatly up at you, his arms flexed at his chest like a puppy and his pretty blue eyes observating you, waiting for you to put your hands on him. When your fingers finally dip into his locks, his eyes close in pleasure, cheeks glowing pink, and tail wagging back and forth joyfully. His pretty sweetheart takes care of him very nicely, mhm! ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — Childe... he’s so sweet. He likes to join you when you're lying on your side in bed, getting himself in the same position as close to you as possible so he can hug you and put a leg over your. Yeah, that’s his way of saying “This pretty girl is mine and no one else touches her.” even when he’s alone in the room with you. It may be a pretty cute position for you, but for Childe, it has a meaning more about feeling responsible for your protection. In this way, he can also hide his face in the crook of your neck, leaving little kisses all over your collarbone with a victorious smile for having you by his side until he’s completely asleep. ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — Diluc has a thing for literally feeling you over his body, so his favorite position is having you on top of him while he’s lying on his back, you resting your head on his chest and your legs between Diluc’s legs, which are flexed and spread apart to give you the space you need to situate yourself comfortably. This way you can hear his heartbeat well, which becomes unstoppable when you move even a little bit. Luckily you can't see his face and how extremely flushed he is. Diluc discreetly makes sure you don’t raise your head to look at him, putting both of his hands on it playing with your hair while he tries to distract himself with any other thing to bring down the hue of his cheeks to normal. ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — Kazuha absolutely loves intimate moments with you, so he takes advantage of some place where there’s no one around at night to spend some time alone with his dearest. Sitting on the grass, the night cloak over you two and you next to him. It’s the moment of the day that Kazuha treasures the most. Loves having you close, when you lean your head on his shoulder as he puts his arm around you tightly, whispering how he’s needed you alone for him and only him, maybe even ending with a needy “may I kiss you now, please my love?” ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — Kaeya keeps you close while you are both resting in bed. When you crawl to his side to rest your head and one of your hands on his chest, that’s definitely something that moves his heart and quickly reacts, passing his arm under your head hugging you closer to him, reaching with his fingers your cheeks and the corner of your lips. Every time his digits meet your mouth, an irremediable desire to throw himself at you and kiss you floods him, but Kaeya must remain calm — right now his pretty girl is resting in his arms and he’s a very honorable gentleman. ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — Itto has a total of 0 problems when it comes to satiating his need for cuddles. Wherever you are, whoever you are with, he has it very easy to get you up from the ground — the height difference really helps him —. Your reaction by inertia is to wrap your legs around his waist so you don’t fall, and by the time you’ve fallen into his trap it’s too late to escape. His eyes begging you to please give him some attention, the pout on his lips and his strong but careful grip on your thighs all mean one thing — give him some love or you’ll be clinging to him like a koala all day! He has no rush, after all. ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — Heizou loves hugging you from behind. From the front is too boring for him, besides, it amuses him greatly to see how sometimes you get scared with his spontaneous appearances in which without saying a word, Heizou appears behind you, immediately grabbing your hips with his hands, getting closer to you and giving you a little kiss —or lick— on your exposed neck. In bed, he does the same thing. One minute you’re totally relaxed, trying to fall asleep and the second after Heizou is up against you from behind, spooning you and nuzzling his head in the crook of your neck. Forgive him, poor baby always wants to feel his pretty girl by his side! ♡

ʚ♡ɞ — What does Albedo love the most? Well, his preference without a doubt is when you shyly intertwine your fingers with his. It may not be much, but his heart goes crazy when he feels this simple show of affection from you. Being honest, the only thing Albedo needs is you. It doesn't matter what you want to do —hold his hand, hug him, kiss him.— He will do anything to keep his girl happy. Oh, besides in bed he’s extra affectionate with you. Nothing stops him when he wants to get closer to you, always asking you if you are comfortable about it first. But of course you are! Shut his mouth with a kiss on his lips and you’ll have him enamored for the rest of the night. ♡

♡ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: fluff <3

♡ 𝐚/𝐧: this was so cute and it took me so long <3 | like/rb if you liked this!

ITTO cuddles you on his lap. he's fairly taken aback at first – when you plop into his lap – but rolls with it anyway. He kind of nuzzles his head into your neck or something. it's quite cute, seeing someone like you on his... extremely large frame. he's kind of like a big pillow, really. he's not squishy but it's quite comfortable! he actually likes how cuddly you can be sometimes and even welcomes it. he finds the smile on your face cute.

CHILDE just laughs as he shifts you around to make you feel more comfortable. he takes note of how you seem to fit perfectly onto him as well, if that makes sense? he loves how you're just so comfortable with him. he cuddles you as well after you plop onto his lap, exhausted. i can imagine him running his fingers through your hair as well! it's really very very cute ><

ZHONGLI welcomes the affection, cuddling you softly as he continues to drink tea and read his book. he's very gentle with you, like how he would be with a glaze lily. you're his precious glaze lily. he nuzzles you often, and also ends up looking up once in a while to give you a sweet kiss. he's actually quite affectionate when he wants to be, i think! it's very sweet.

DILUC is slightly taken aback, but he becomes very gentle with you afterwards. he's nice about it and ends up cuddling you... like everyone else. i think diluc genuinely loves it when you do that – you look adorable doing it! he can be snuggly when he wants as well. diluc loves the quiet parts of you, where the two of you can just.. coexist with each other. it's refreshing and calming to him, and he loves every part of it.

XIAO is confused, but he allows it anyway. he likes how you never fail to stick with him, despite his past – he notices the little things you do for him. he loves your affection, truly, even if he doesn't exactly acknowledge it all the time. such mortal things are not for the adepti, aren't they? but he can indulge in it for a little while... for his comfort and yours. he doesn't mind it, really. xiao will definitely cuddle you after.

SCARAMOUCHE gets a bit ticked off, but would 100% totally-not inch closer to you and hug you. he would never admit it, but he actually likes these little shows of affection! would kind of subtly nuzzle his head into the crook of your neck... if he's taller than you. otherwise it kind of looks like a toddler carrying an adult... but either way, he doesn't mind it. it's actually quite cute for him. and you. 101% would do this with you again.

THOMA accepts it wholeheartedly! he would cuddle you 24/7. thoma loves it when he gets to share these little quiet moments with you, it makes him happy seeing you so comfortable... even if you're on his lap. would 100% cuddle you and would get excited because who is he to deny that he's happy spending time with his favourite person in all of teyvat? it's quite cute, honestly.

DAINSLEIF is confused. no one had ever done it to him before... but you seemed happy, so why not? the taller man awkwardly wraps his arms around you in the process. honestly he might even tickle you and not realise that he was doing so, but it's quite cute seeing how he's trying his best. i have a feeling that he would try his best to cuddle you a little – it kind of works – but it's a bit strange to he lets his arm naturally curl around you. that's cute.

KAZUHA is somewhat taken aback, but he likes it. being involved in a civil war in his home country leaves him little time to rest, so he really does take the time to be thankful for each restful and peaceful moment he gets to spend with you. i think kazuha would cuddle you in response... beidou just looks on proudly and leaves the two of you alone. it's quite soothing to see; just two quiet souls existing together.

DAMN THIS TOOK ME SO LONG!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAA. ok pls like and reblog if you liked this! it really really helps my engagement ><

#love languages (giving ver.)

—identifying their love languages or what love language they give to you

CHARACTERS. Aether, Albedo, Ayato, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Itto, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli; gn! Reader

THEMES. comfort, fluff

WORD COUNT. 1.8k

NOTES. this is formatted quite differently and also do take note that people can have one or more dominant love languages! this will only base on what i think their most MOST dominant one is during the relationship itself. some people change their love language after being in a relationship, after all!

p.s. gorou’s part is kind of like “acts of service” too but i suppose it fits with “quality time” more. 

words of affirmation 

The whispers of the wind had always been next to KAZUHA’s ears, telling him of the truth and stories of people, of the dangers that are coming, or even the music of others’ hearts. With this, he finds that the beating of his heart was in sync with yours, and that there was no reason for him to hide it, and that the beating of his heart was in sync with yours, and that there was no reason for him to hide it. All the same with how he could feel the restlessness that your mind had settled itself in, even despite being leaned onto him, your back to his chest and his arms around your form. And by then, there was a whisper in the wind, telling him to speak, to utter words, to ease your mind. 

“The winds and tides have calmed, I suppose this must be a sign for us to do the same as well, don’t you think?” he played it off as he didn’t know, but it was far from it. 

ZHONGLI is a man who knows a thousand words, and maybe much more. He even knows the value of each of them, and the cost of the lack of them as well. With that said, it was quite easy for him to do such a thing—to say words that he either genuinely believed or not. Of course, the latter would only be for special occasions. Mostly, he is a man who is true to his words, and even if he does not relate to any of your troubles. 

“Is something bothering you, dear?” the aroma of the comforting tea dominated your senses, and so did the gentle voice of your lover in front of you. “You can speak to me about anything, love. How about talking about it over tea?” 

┌───────── ·  ·  ·  · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

quality time

ITTO loves your company. And with that, he supposes that it would be the same for you as well? After all, you chose him out of everyone else—someone like him to be by your side. It was something he never imagined would’ve happened, especially for you. For him just to be with you is enough, but everyday? He could even take you out to eat during lunch or supper? That would be a dream! Well, of course, he would not do anything that would be a discomfort for you. 

GOROU is a man who knows his duty. And as someone with such vigor, he would often give a lot of effort into pleasing you, making you happy—most especially at the very start of the relationship. Call it excitement, perhaps, but he does have a certain kind of joy whenever he witnesses you smile from something he does. 

“I heard that this is a new trend in couples nowadays… What do you think?” he has this flustered look on his face, but he did not falter in his words. Nonetheless, you thought this was cute of him to do. 

“I don’t mind. But what about you? Do you want to? I mean, fishing takes time, maybe even for a whole day. Are you sure you aren’t that busy?” 

“No, no, of course not! I already filed my leave today. And…” he pauses, looking away, “of course I’d like to go with you. Anywhere with you is nice.”

If there was the perfect way to describe what VENTI was feeling, it would be that he was craving for your attention and presence by his side. This is to the point that he would also want you to be used to his presence. After all, you would see him every now and then, so get used to it! He’d take you anywhere that would be enjoyable, don’t worry! And you’re going to be safe, he’s an Archon after all.

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧

𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: diluc, kaeya, albedo, zhongli, xiao, childe, scaramouche, dainsleif and tohma

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: the summer rain is sudden, warm, but welcomed. and you can't help but lean against his shoulder and listen to the rain.

𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠(𝐬): cursing

𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: gender neutral

𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠: beneath the rain ー nom

it's raining where i live and i like rain so :D

Summer rain is unexpected but warm and welcomedー it's like a short reprieve from the sweltering summer days, with the transparent droplets cooling down to Earth, even if just for a short while.

You thought that it was a nice occurrence really, a nice break from the sweltering heat, a nice excuse to not go out and socialize with others, to stay in your pajamas all day without being called a lazy bumーyou heard these kinds of things a lot, so it was nice to kick back and wrap yourself up in your blankets.

So you'd be as lazy as possible.

Yesーprobably even more.

The sound of rain hitting earth was pretty.

You wanted to sleep some more.

If someone called you lazy, that was their problem, not yours.

ー 𝐃𝐈𝐋𝐔𝐂

Okay, normally he's the absolute worst the cuddle with in the middle of summer, but the rain has made the house 10x colder, and you need warmth dammit. So you just hug him close and refuse to let go. Unless it's for bathroom breaks.

He's so easy to rile up for someone who has a good poker face. Your constant nuzzlings against him have his face going redder than his hair. He gets used to it after some time, but you can still see the tips of his ears getting red. How cute, you often think.

Diluc will let you rest your head on his lap as he will scan through any documents he will need to read. You either reading a book you stole from his study, or you fell asleep and it is now on your faceーthere is no in-between. You're pretty sure Diluc saw you like that and chuckledーwhat a nice sound.

Diluc's hawkーbless her soulーhas started getting used to you. This means you can brush your fingers through her pretty feathers and she won't bite you this time. She'll often watch the rain with you, the only sounds being the rain and her occasional soft shriek.

He'll occasionally make his delicious ribs, and while you're not supposed to feed his hawk the food, she's giving you that look. You only give her tiny pieces, all while cooing about how grumpy and mean Lulu is, while said man is giving you a look too.

If you need to go fetch something while the rain is pouring away, Diluc will accompany you, and while he insists that he doesn't need an umbrella, you sure as hell ain't letting him get a damn cold on your watch. So he has no choice but to share the umbrella with you.

You spend the rainy afternoons in your sleepwear all day, not caring to change into regular clothes and often lazing around. Sometimesー yes, sometimes, Diluc would join you, tired from the piles of papers that needed to be looked over. But this time, you welcomed his warmth, and eagerly hugged him close, not wanting to let goーyou wanted to be selfish just this once.

ー 𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐘𝐀

Dear God, he has become your worst enemy whenever it rains. Since the rain has cooled down the once humid and hot summer air, it turns Kaeya into your worst fear. He knows exactly what he's doing and will put his cold-ass hands on the back of your neck.

The only good thing he does with his cryo vision is actually for entertainment purposes, just for the two of you. He freezes several raindrops in the air before they plummet down and shatter into several glimmering pieces. It's much prettier than it soundsーKaeya has a way of making it a beautiful spectacle.

He doesn't mind sharing an umbrella with youーin fact, he enjoys being so close to you. He'll hold the umbrella, but in exchange, you have to hug his arm. It's only fair, right sweetheart? He has such a shit-eating smile spread on his lips, but what the hell. You don't mind hugging him close either.

You'll sit out on the porch with an umbrella over you, as you watch the rain pour down. You watch as the crystalflies, once lazily flying aboutーnow flee from the onslaught of rain. You watch as they fly higher and higherーuntil they disappeared in a burst of crystalline dust. Kaeya will occasionally join you and spectate with you.

Kaeya will absentmindedly play with your hair, a rather monotonous expression upon his features, as he soothingly rubs your scalp back and forthーit's enough to make you drowsy. All the while he just gazes at you, a gentle smile having found itself on his lips while you struggle to stay awake.

You take frequent naps whenever it rains; the rain probably unlocks your lazinessーhaha. So you'll more often than not rest your weary head on Kaeya's shoulder while you snooze away. Sometimes you're so drowsy that you end falling into his lap, which he plans to tease you about when you're fully awake. But for now, he'll admire your cute sleeping face.

Kaeya taught you how to play some board games that he's familiar with, and now whenever it rains, you pull out the boards and get to work. He's kicked your ass far more than you'd like to admit, but the games keep your brain from turning to mush.

ー 𝐀𝐋𝐁𝐄𝐃𝐎

Since he's Klee's unofficial babysitter, she'll drag the two of you outside to play in the puddles and splash around in them. She's eager to see the world drenched in rain, so you and Albedo follow her around so she won't get over-enthusiastic and get herself lost.

When Klee gets tuckered out from her excess playing in the rain, you and Albedo take a walk in the rain, enjoying the clouded scenery and each other's presence as well. He'll occasionally seek out the roots of Boom Blossoms since the soil makes it perfect to collect them. You help him carry them back so he doesn't have to walk back and forth.

Since Albedo can't walk to his lab in such poor conditions, especially if it's thundering outside, he'll have to make do with what he has at home. It's honestly like a cozy little world that no one can touch. You get to play the role of a lab assistant for a little bit.

You love to play with Albedo's hairーit's just so fluffy and soft, how can you resist such fluffiness? Albedo doesn't really mind, letting out occasional hums as your nails gentle scrape across his scalp. you'll even put it up in a messy bun for him. That way his hair won't get in his eyes while he's doing anything.

Klee loves doing arts and crafts with the two of you, and Albedo usually comes up with something from his alchemy studies that will produce something safe enough for Klee to try out for herself. The two of you supervise, just in case something could potentially happen.

Albedo will sketch the hydrangeas that tremble with each drop of dew that falls upon themーhow pretty, you'd often think. You'll sit next to him while he sketches anything that catches his eye. The half-eaten lunch that Klee left on the table again, the transparent vials held upon his shelvesーeven you, while you gaze absentmindedly out the window.

You've taken naps with Klee before, the two of you curled up next to each other, lazing the day away. Albedo will walk in on the rather sweet and cute sight, and he'll watch silently, before pulling the blanket up further and wishing you a good sleep before heading off to finish up his sketches and alchemy.

Zhongli makes all sorts of warm teas for youーyou'll take anything he makes, since it always comes out so delectable. It warms up your body from the cold air that the summer rain brings, and it puts you in a better mood. It's so cozy and nice.

You told him to read any Liyue book of his choice while you rest on his lap, and he agrees with a chuckle. His deep voice, combined with the sound of rain? Oh yeah, you think that you're in heaven now. He'll stroke your hair while reading away, his voice becoming a baritone lullaby for you.

Zhongli likes to take you out for walks in Liyueーwhether it is the harbor or out in the wilderness of his nation. He makes sure that you won't catch a cold afterward, however. You favor visiting the ancient ruins from ancient civilizations long since forgotten to time. It feels nostalgic, but at the same time just calming to be there.

Every once in a while, when the thunder crashes violently about in the sky, Zhongli will prepare his Bamboo Shoot Soup, made just for you. You're about to cry, because he's so sweet, and it tastes so good?? Who the hell let him be such good husband material?

You both have poem-writing mini-contests, no matter how bad or good you are, Zhongli loves them. He wants to know what kinds of thoughts flow through that mind of yours, and how you would write it out on paper. No matter how embarrassed you are, he'll give out good pointers and writing tips.

Zhongli won't mind if you just want to be lazy the whole day, and he'll smile and chuckle when he sees your blanket-wrapped form waddling towards him, and he'll let you rest upon his lap while he reads over a new contract.

When the rain begins to slow, Zhongli will invite you to come and pick some Violetgrass alongside in. Well, you could use some more to try and make that Black-Back Perch Stew that Xiangling had recommended a few days ago, so you agree. You hold his hand the entire time, as he doesn't want to lose your foot holding on to the slippery rocks that adorn Liyue.

You asked Xiao to supervise you while you dance in the rain. Yes, you spoke correctlyーyou dance in the rain. Xiao scoffs and calls it another strange human activity, but he still does watch over you while you skip about in the rain, not caring if you look strange.

Most of the time, he's out patrolling Liyue, even in the rain, which makes you concerned, since he could get sick. He has to remind you that no, he doesn't get sick ' like you mortals' as he puts it. But you tell him that he's welcome to stop by your house during the rain whenever he wants. He almost scoffs but instead lets out a gruff, but quiet ' thank you.'

You've made Xiao Almond Tofu on many occasions, and even making some for yourself. It's become comfort food, as well as a rainy day dessert. You're not too confident in how you always make it, but Xiao calls your insecurity confusing, going quiet for a few beats, before telling you that the tofu tasted good today.

Xiao never understands your tendencies to wrap yourself up in thick blankets and laze around all day. You're too busy being lazy to care about his judgemental stare, or emerging from a pleasant nap whilst stretching and yawning. Sleep is the best form of self-care after all.

You sometimes like to walk around outside and crouch down in front of plants drizzled with raindrops, and you'll even spot some cute frogs and snails hiding amongst them. Xiao stumbled into you like this and stood over you, to which you looked back up at him and only gave a carefree smile in response.

When he's not out on his usual patrols, Xiao will accompany you when you go out to buy a couple of novels that were needed. He stays silent for the entirety of it, but he's the one who actually holds the umbrella and holds your now purchased books before you can even protest.

Half of the time you just walk around your house wearing nothing but an oversized shirt and undergarments. You're too damn lazy to change into anything else, and your mind is half asleep a nice majority of the time. So Xiao is going to have to get used to the sight of your nice ass legs, whether he wants to or not.

ー 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐄

You find yourself more often than not nuzzled into his chestーany noises you make are muffled out by his toned chest. He's surprisingly good hug material, and you need your damn naps so you just use him as a rainy day pillow. A nice and muscular pillow.

Childe more often than not trains in the rain, to which you think that he must have a damn death wish or something, but what the hell, let him have his fun. He knows damn well that when he comes back inside, you're practically drooling because of the water making his shirt stick to his chest and abs.

You really remind him of Teucer, jumping around and splashing in the puddles outside when you think no one is looking. You like to flick the outside plants, effectively making the raindrops drip down onto the damp earth. It's pretty satisfying to doーjust as simple as that.

Childe likes to occasionally cook steaming meals once it starts raining, and won't let you in the kitchen to aid him. He just kicks you right back out with a cheery smile and a closing of the door. Well in his defense, the food comes out rather tasty, and it always warms you up.

If you have to do your commissions out in the summer rain, just know that Childe can and will join you. He will gladly think of the downpouring rain as an extra challenge for practicing his fighting skills and honing them even more.

When he's not out trying to train his ass off, he's trying to playfight with youーyes he tries to playfight with you. If he's not trying to lock you in a losing position, then he's chasing you around the house like a crazed man, complete with a happy grin while he hones in on you.

When it rains, you either make it a lazy day or head over into the city to complete some errands. Childe will happily hold the umbrella and you close to him. All while you're busy picking out some desserts to try out. He has a shit-eating grin the entire time as if to say ' yeah, this my partner, look at me be such a good boyfriend. ' He's puffing out his chest whenever some elderly people gossip about what a lovely couple you are.

ー 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇𝐄

He's staring you down whenever you decide to be extra lazy and calls you a lazy-ass, to which you just stare at him and just flip over and sleep more. He either gives you the shock of your life or he ends up cuddling close to you later on.

The two of you open up the sliding doors and just sit there, admiring how the plants jostle as the raindrops fall down on them. He makes fun of you at first, but he eventually joins you and the two of you talk about whatever comes to mind, whether it be him raging about how Childe called him a midget yet again, or anything else.

The sakura trees are especially pretty during the rain, so you drag Scara there to just admire the view. He's practically hissing at you for dragging his ass all the way for some damn tree, but you've learned to drown out his angry voice from time to time.

You have definitely picked up his nasty habit of watching people slip in the rain and laughing at their misery. Yes, Scara will literally drag you out to do this when he's not being a bitch in the Fatui. You definitely cackle at them alongside him, and now you're learning from him. He's rubbing off on you.

Did you think chucking a pillow at his face was a good idea at the time? Yes, yes you did. Are you probably going to die by his hand because he's chasing you down like a maniac while you're screeching? Yeah, definitely.

He's surprisingly sweet when you have to head out somewhere, holding the umbrella for the two of you while you walk outside. He makes it seem like it's an absolute waste of his time, but you know that deep down he does care enough to make sure that you don't get struck by lightning.

The one time you wanted to try out some Inazuman games, he taught you all alright, but he turns it into a damn competition and the two of you are throwing insults like it's a food fight. If it weren't for the fact that you like this damn midget so much, you'd have probably strangled him from the shit-eating smirk he has while beating you at everything.

ー 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐈𝐅

He looks so funny when you're building a pillow and blanket fort because he just looks so serious, and then he's just surrounded by fluff?? Yeah, you're gonna smother that handsome eyepatch man with affection and not let go.

You love to use him as a heater and pillow whenever it rains, because he's nice and warm, and his chest is a nice pillow. You get an excuse to coddle him while it rains, and he honestly doesn't mindーeven enjoys it since he gets to be close to you.

You once brought in a cute green frog from the rain, and he had to spend a good minute just wondering how in the hell you managed to catch a frog. He spent even more of a good chunk of time just trying to convince you to put it back, but you wouldn't stop calling it ' our son. '

He taught you how to make bookmarks with pressed flowers, and he's actually pretty good at it. He makes really pretty ones, and you're internally dying because he's so fucking cute and talented. He can't look this attractive while gluing the flowers togetherーit's illegal to be this cute.

You like to bake cute cakes because you need your daily dose of sugar, and if it's something Dainsleif is familiar with, he'll help you by passing along the ingredients and stirring them for you. But he sometimes likes to watch youーhe thinks you look adorable, your concentrated face is cute to him.

He always holds the umbrellaーno exceptions. It's mostly because he towers over you and he's whipped for you. You hold his hand because it's really warm, and handholding is embarrassing for you. He always holds whatever you buy as well, and will not budge. You can't even physically pry it away from him because he's so damn strong, and he has the will of steel.

You hung up the glass wind chime you had bought for him, and like to listen to the sound of the soft music it produces in the rain-soaked winds. Dainsleif will occasionally join you and rub soothing circles on your head, to which you gladly accept. You wonder if he'll hear the sound of that windchime later on and think of you.

ー 𝐓𝐎𝐇𝐌𝐀

You threatened to throw mud at him jokingly, but whenever it's just the two of you, it's a full-blown war zone. You have to make sure that you're not wearing anything nice because Tohma will ruin it within the next 45 seconds.

Tohma can and will carry you over his shoulder just to trap you against the bed and refuse to move. Unless it's for the bathroom and food, then no. He requires attention and affection and you're gonna give it to him. You considered kicking him in the crotch because he's so damn heavy.

He's your personal heater, so when the summer rain makes you feel extra lazy, you're the one who's trapping him and refusing to let go. When you're not smothering him in bed, you're hanging onto him like a koala and absorbing his heat. His vision becomes your savior in the cold summer rain.

Despite his goofy attitude, he insists that you read at least one book whenever it rains. You're pretty sure he does it on purpose and planned ahead because he pats his lap a little too eagerly and looks a little too giddy.

Tohma is incredibly giddy when you ask him to accompany you on a rainy nature walk. He'll hold the umbrella, and he also insists on holding your hand the whole time. He looks like his usual goofy self, but internally? Oh yeah, you've killed him. The mantra that's going through his mind is They're holding my hand! They're holding my hand!

He offers to clean your ears, lap pillow, and all! You'd never tell it to his face because his ego would just get bigger, but he's actually pretty good at it. You'll end up falling asleep because of how soothing it is. Unbeknownst to you, Tohma's a blushing wreck, because ear cleaning is something that you only do with loved ones, and that includes lovers.

You had baked him cookies just one time, and now he's like an eager puppy, constantly prodding at you and giving you eager eyes whenever you enter the kitchen. You had just been experimenting with baking, so you suppose this could count as a success. Hell, you could add a tail to him just from how eager he looks.

Masterlist

Diluc

Diluc is naturally warm in winter and summer, his body always giving off exceptional heat. In winter, it's a blessing to have him in bed with you. If your feet, hands, or any other part of your body are frozen, you can simply snuggle up to him for warmth. He'll always be happy to share his warmth with you, even if he's half asleep, which is a great excuse to keep you close. His hand will bring you back against his chest, gently inviting you to rest your head on his uncovered chest. You'll feel his hand cradling your body and his lips brushing your forehead and hair, leaving a trail of shivers behind him. He will welcome your leg between his, rubbing your icy feet on the fabric of his night pants. His hand will caress your waist, your hip and then your thigh, spreading his warmth everywhere he went. Your body relaxed against him, and this made Diluc smile tenderly. He will wait patiently until you stop shivering from the cold and fall back to sleep before following you into the arms of Morpheus.

Sometimes you'll steal his long black coat and dive into it. His warmth and his smell are still anchored there. Outside, when Diluc feels your cold skin touching him, he pulls you against him, grabbing your hands to put them under his coat. He'll let you enjoy his warmth for as long as you need, wrapping his arms around your shoulders, his lips kissing the top of your head, he just hopes no one comes to tease him next. In the privacy of your home, Diluc will keep you sitting astride him, his coat carefully covering you as he busies himself reading some work-related papers. Your head rests heavily on his shoulder, your nose brushing the skin of his neck. His free hand cradles your back, causing you to gradually drift off to sleep.

Diluc's passionate kisses are the best way to warm your body and soul.

Zhongli

It is not uncommon for you to cling to Zhongli once you are in bed, wrapping your legs around his like a vine. Feeling the cold against the silk fabric of his pants, his arms will encircle your body to bring you a little closer to him. Zhongli is not afraid of the cold, not because he is a follower, but simply because it is in his nature. He'll do anything to warm you up, pulling the sheets up over your shoulders or lovingly massaging your skin. He'll cover you with kisses and soft whispers until sleep comes. He'll make sure your body is warm before falling asleep with you. If his presence really isn't enough to thaw you out, he'll get out of bed and bring you a steaming cup of tea and, if necessary, a hot water bottle filled with hot water.

Outside, Zhongli will tenderly hold your frozen hands in his, blowing on them in hopes of warming you up. He doesn't expose his personal life for all to see, but if he sees you shivering or shivering, his arms will wrap around you to warm you while his lips kiss the tips of your nose, lips and ears in hopes of warming you. He will offer you the comfort of his coat to help raise your temperature. The scent of the ancient archon dribbles across the fabric, and the sensation alone is enough to calm the chilly tremors in your body.

Kaeya

Kaeya is not afraid of the cold, he is not a cryo vision user for nothing. On the other hand, he is surprisingly warm. It's very common for him to feel you snuggling up to him at night, your chilled fingertips seeking the warmth emanating from his exposed chest. He'll moan at the sensation, but won't reject you. His hand will come to cover yours, caressing your skin with his thumb. If he feels you shivering with cold, he'll cover you up to your shoulders with the sheets before wrapping his arms around you. He'll check to make sure you're still asleep, stroking the bridge of your nose with his fingertip. Seeing the soothing expression on your face, Kaeya smiles tenderly, continuing his caresses until sleep takes him away again.

Kaeya does not hesitate to remove the ornament around his shoulders and hang it around your neck. The winter wind has always been fierce for you, and no matter how much you buy the warmest coats in Mondstadt, the shivering and redness on your cheeks and nose speaks for itself. Kaeya will also cover you with his warm arms, kissing with his lips the extremities of your frozen body.

Kaeya will offer you your favorite hot drink and some sweets to help warm you up and ease the fatigue caused by the winter cold.

Xiao

Cold and heat have no impact on the Yaksha. After all, we are talking about a man who likes to eat snow and spends his nights sitting on the roof of an inn. Yet, when he feels you shivering in the warmth of your blankets, legs folded against your torso in hopes of warming your feet, Xiao will instinctively move closer to you, encircling your body with his warm arms to ease your shaking. His chest against your back sends a pleasant sensation through your body, one of his hands, the one that was caressing your arm, will reach down to your frozen feet, gently grasping them before rubbing them to warm you up. Your whispered thanks make his heart beat. The Yaksha's gentle touches, his kisses on your shoulder and the hollow of your neck, will slowly help you fall asleep.

When he sees the tips of your fingers reddened by the cold, Xiao will grasp them in his hands, rubbing them gently in his palms. The fear of you getting sick haunts him and he sometimes scolds you, reminding you to take gloves and a scarf when you go out. Xiao will then hug you, wishing he had a coat with him that he could share with you. But he doesn't realize that the warmth of his embrace is more than enough for you.

Venti

Venti is not as chilly as you are, being the god governing the winds, he is used to feeling its coolness. But he must admit that in winter, he is as shivering as you are. He is happy to stick to you, embracing you face to face to warm you up. He'll rub his nose against yours while your feet tangle together. Venti will let you bury your head in the crook of his neck, shivering as he feels the tip of your frozen nose against his skin. His arms will deepen their grip around you, pressing you more against him. He'll press a few sleepy kisses to the top of your head, patiently waiting for you to fall asleep. The heat quickly settles between the two of you, weighing down your eyes. Winter has its advantages, as he can keep you close to him.

Outside, Venti will slip a scarf he took from you around your neck. He can't do much to warm you up except hold your hands in his or take you to one of the many taverns in Mondstadt for a hot drink. Having very little moras on him, it is difficult to offer you something to warm you up properly, but Venti has the merit to do his best for your well-being.

Albedo

Albedo is usually a light sleeper. So your body tremors will tend to wake him up quickly. When he opens his eyes, he will usually find you in the fetal position, your legs folded against your chest in an attempt to keep you warm. Albedo will get up from the bed to fetch you a comforter to cover the sheets already on the bed. This man is not afraid of the cold, his time in the mountains of Dragonspine has hardened him, but seeing you like this, shivering in your sleep, twists his stomach. Part of him is still afraid you'll get sick. As soon as he's covered you, Albedo will duck back under the sheets, tucking his chest against your back and wrapping his arm around your waist to speed up the warming process. Gradually, he will feel your body relax against him, smiling softly against your neck, kissing your neck warmly before calmly closing his eyes.

Most of the time, when Albedo is not at Dragonspine, you will find him in his laboratory, sitting on a stool with several vials filled with strange liquid in front of him. He agrees to let you in, keeping you away from any dangerous objects. Feeling your cold skin against his fingers, Albedo will concoct an elixir to warm your body. He will then hold you in his arms, kissing your hands, nose and lips, waiting patiently for you to warm up.

Kazuha

Kazuha is used to winter temperatures. His many trips across the oceans and the lands of Teyvat have hardened him. But when he feels your frozen hands brush against his neck while you are fast asleep, he can't help but take them in his hands to warm them up. He knows that in the winter, you constantly complain about having icy extremities, so Kazuha does everything to keep you warm. He will check your feet, your nose, and even your lips which he will gently kiss to share his warmth with you. He is always careful not to wake you up, knowing that if he does, you will have a hard time falling back to sleep. Kazuha's hands wrap you in his warmth, his lips exclusively attending to your face and fingertips, and when your body is finally completely warmed and relaxed, Kazuha will finally drift off to sleep, a soft smile on his lips.

The ronin always keeps you warm, wrapping you in a scarf of his own before leaving your home. He checks that you are wearing gloves and a warm enough coat when the wind blows outside the walls of your house. He doesn't want you to get sick, seeing you with a fever always makes him worried. He will keep your hand in his, sticking his shoulder against yours. Kazuha will always share his warmth with you.

Childe

Childe comes from Snezhnaya, a land as cold as the peaks of Dragonspine. The coolness of Liyue's nights is nothing in comparison... Nevertheless, when he finds you shivering in bed, wrapped in your silky sheets, his first reaction will be to quickly run you a hot bath. He'll take you in himself, helping you undress and tie up your hair. He'll sit by the tub, massaging your shoulders and warming the submerged parts of your body. Childe is eager for your lips, and seeing them shivering from the cold will give him an excuse to kiss you again and again until you are completely breathless. He does not like to see you like this, shivering and pale. The heat of the water weighs down your head, sleep invading your body now fully warmed up. Childe will dry you off and dress you again, bringing your sleeping body back into the softness of your bed. Lying down beside you, one arm wrapped around your waist, Childe will caress your face, admiring your soothed features. Undressing in turn, he will join you under the sheets, keeping your body in his arms to keep you warm.

Childe always keeps you close to him when you go outside. His arm will stay wrapped around your waist to keep you close. His long red scarf is wrapped around your neck, allowing you to have his scent constantly. Whenever you get a chance, you tease him by sharing his scarf with him, wrapping part of his face in the fabric.

Childe pays attention to you, examining your every move, your skin color, your expressions. This man will never let you suffer from the cold.

Dainsleif

Not having a home, it is common for the two of you to sleep outside. It is essential for Dain to keep you warm, so he will light a campfire before settling you between his legs, facing the heat emanating from the flames. He'll cover you with his cloak, keeping your hands in his, his fingers rubbing your extremities to warm you. He feels you trembling against him as you try to leave for the realm of dreams, your head resting heavily in the hollow of his neck. He wished he could offer you a more comfortable and luxurious life, in the warmth of a home and the softness of a bed. He knew that his presence alone was enough for you, but regret is a poisonous feeling, which sometimes clouds his thoughts. When he felt you move against him, your still cold hands seeking the warmth of his skin, Dainsleif tightened his embrace around you, kissing the border that separated your shoulder and your neck. He wrapped his arms around you, keeping your hands in his. His warmth helped you sleep peacefully while yours soothed his mind.

He constantly keeps your hand in his, sometimes bringing it to his lips to blow warm air over it. Your flushed face urges him to do more, and his lips end up tenderly kissing your fingertips. Everything about him warms you. His voice, his eyes, his hands, his frail smiles. And when Dain presses his lips to yours, the warmth from them warms your whole being.

Scaramouche

He doesn't feel the cold like you do. It's not painful or unpleasant on his skin. Yet, when he joins you in bed and finds you freezing, your lips trembling as you try to fall asleep, he can only imagine how you feel. Of course, Scaramouche would look at you with furrowed brows, telling you how you could be so awkward sometimes. How could he sleep peacefully when he could feel you trembling beside him? Clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth, he turned sharply toward you, wrapping his arms around your waist to pull you back against him. He was exhausted and had only one desire, to sleep. Yet there you were, cold and shivering against his chest, a part of him feeling bad for you. He abruptly pulled the sheets up over you, forcing your eyes open to look at him. You murmured an apology, but Scaramouche silenced you, straightening on his forearm to kiss you. He didn't want your apology, he wanted you to stop shaking, he wanted to feel your body warm against him, he wanted to see the serene expression on your sleeping face. Slowly, sleep overtook you, the warmth of the Harbinger slowly spreading through your body.

Scaramouche got used to feeling you wrapped around his arm, seeking the warmth you lacked in him. His cold, menacing gaze would plant itself in anyone who dared to spy on him. He also got used to intertwining his fingers with yours, chasing the cold that covered your hand.

Razor

Razor can easily withstand the cold. All his years in the forest have made him tougher than normal humans. So when he felt you shivering in bed, teeth chattering loudly, he sat up and took a long look at you. At first he wondered if you were sick. Then you turned to him, grabbing his wrist that was close to your face with your icy fingers. Razor didn't understand. How could you be so cold in the warmth of this house? But, Razor being extremely protective, he would lie down beside you, making sure to warm you with his own body. His gaze would not leave your face as his hands caressed you in hopes of soothing you. Your expression would relax as the warmth invaded your sleeping body. In your sleep, you smiled softly, whispering his name. Blushing, Razor gently kissed your lips. He was willing to share his warmth with you as many times as necessary if it meant hearing you speak his name so tenderly.

Razor keeps your hand firmly in his, sometimes a little too tightly. He wants to keep you warm, sometimes offering you his jacket to cover your head with his hood. If you're both exploring the area around Mondstadt, he'll light a fire to keep you warm.

Thomas

Thomas is warm, both physically and in character. He always draws you to him when you complain of being cold. Letting yourself trail off into his embrace, you press your cheek against his chest, digging your fingers under the fabric of his t-shirt, seeking the warmth you lack to fall asleep. Thomas shivers at the contact, still stunned when he notices the freezing temperature of your fingertips. His hand will come to rest on yours, offering you a little more of his warmth, while his free arm wraps around your quivering shoulders. One of your legs positioned itself between his, offering you an extra source of warmth. Thomas sighed silently, glancing down at his chest to see your sleeping face. His hand dropped the one you were keeping under his robe to tenderly caress your cheek, which was beginning to redden from his warmth. He would stay a moment like that, just looking at you, his fingers gently touching your skin.

Thomas would prepare a cup of cherry blossom tea to help you warm up. He would set up a kotatsu, a typical Inazuma warming table, to keep you warm. Sitting behind you, his legs encircling you, his arms would tenderly embrace your waist while you sipped your tea. Even if your body was completely warmed by his care, Thomas would continue to keep you against him, his reassuring warmth being much more effective than any tea.

#little things they do when they say i love you

CHARACTERS. Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli

THEMES. fluff! domestic kind of? established relationship, maybe very very light suggestive

NOTES. this actually a headcanon i thought of before but it’s on another (anime) blog of mine i just thought i should incorporate it here (genshin) too. for those who recognized this, yes i owned that blog long hope you enjoy reading this~ figured i should do fluff after the pure angst i posted hahaha

ALBEDO looks at you with a specific kind of expression that you’d know what the next few words would be. Eyes sparkling with affection and a gentle smile seemingly plastered on his lips, as if he couldn’t control the urge to do so as he gazed at you like that for a few seconds. One, two, three, “I love you so much, darling,” he says, alas, the bomb has set off.

CHILDE doesn’t say it often but he does make sure he will. He says it when there is a strong urge of emotional connection between you, when he feels that bubble in his chest, waiting for him to strike it with a blow of words. His expression varies as well, depending on what occasion or situation you were both on. Passionate and fiery, or solemn and peaceful. No matter what, he’s ready to say it, even if it’s the last thing he does.

DILUC also doesn’t say it often, way less than Childe, but whenever he does, it’s not just based on impulse. It was well-thought of, unrelenting, true. “I love you,” are words he whispers every night when you’re asleep, overtaken by slumber to wait for his arrival back in your arms. He says it again when he pulls you to his form, kissing the crown of your head as he does.

GOROU isn’t afraid of saying those words even with the presence of others. He loves you, you love him, what seems to be the procblem? He’s very affectionate most of the time so it’s quite difficult to know when he’ll say them because he sometimes blurts it out and you’ll never see it coming. “My love,” he grins as he peeks onto your eyes, making sure you will look at him before he leans in his head to your cheeks, rubbing off his cheeks then his hair and his ears. This prompts a giggle from you, and he slightly leans away to meet your away again, “I love you!” he declares and presses a kiss on your cheek.

KAEYA says it between his teases; “You know how much I love you, babe,” “Have I ever told you I love you?,” “That was good. I love you, you know that, right?” And despite its facade, he meant it with his heart and soul. It’s not something that he says just to anyone with those gentle smile and the affectionate way he rubbed the juncture between your thumb and index. He knows when he’s in love, and he surely does to you.

KAZUHA writes it in his poems or haikus. However when he does vocalize it, there is never a similar way of him saying it, he’s quite unreadable too. You’ll never know his true intentions until he has done it. One day he had gently taken your hand, kissing the back of your palm and traced his way up with gentle kisses, and when he was inches away from your face his other hand softly caressed your cheek before saying “You truly have a hold on me, dove. I love you very much.”

SCARAMOUCHE rarely says those three words and doesn’t really find the necessity to. However, of course there were those times that he does, and during these moments, the world turns… silent. You’ll literally feel it; the tension rising in the air, his eyes staring into yours that it’s basically unreadable; he looked hesitant, but confident at the same time—is it possible? Yes. The situation would even make you want to ask him if he wants to say something, and then he just says it, blurts it out as if it slipped from his lips. His eyes widen and he looks away for a bit, only to return his gaze with a small pout. “That’s what I want to say. I can’t help it.”

THOMA seems like the type to say it often, but only when it’s just you and him. Those words are for you and you alone, and he wants you to be selfish of it no matter what. He places himself behind you, wrapping his arms as he leans on the side of your face. Sometimes, when he feels like it, he’d pepper kisses on the juncture by your neck, or that he suddenly says, “I love you,” fondness in his tone as he presses you even more to his chest, letting you feel the warmth that radiates off of him.

VENTI sings it in his songs, sometimes even sings it to you with just the words, “I love you, I love you.” He says those words with every chance he got. Out of everyone in this list, he is probably the one who says it the most. Everyone is basically used to seeing him just strum on his lyre as he leans back, his head suddenly on your shoulder or just to look at you behind him as he says those words.

XIAO has a hard time saying them to you, but he’s not afraid of showing them. Nonetheless, there are very rare times when he does say them and it will always leave you breathless when he does. Closing his eyes as he leans over you, pressing your foreheads together, seated next to each other. It takes a lot from him to initiate actions like these, but over the years, he had learned and adapted, his own body betraying himself from doing such mortal actions. “I’ll return to you, I love you,” he says, but they were enough for your shoulders to ease and so did his. He then leans away gently to kiss your forehead this time, a silent promise of the future that no one will ever be sure of.

ZHONGLI always says it at the perfect time. When you never even thought of needing it, he was there to say it to you. Whenever he does though, the thing that he usually does is hold you. Your hand, your form, your face—he holds you tenderly, gingerly, treating you like you were the finest jade he had ever seen. “Beloved,” he calls you, his fingers on your chin, holding it up softly as you are perched on his lap, hands on his chest. The moment you look into his eyes, he’d smile—he always has one when he’s about to say it, a look of adoration as another hand raises to trace the side of your face, “you are so beautiful. Inside and out. Everyday I love you even more.”
