The NRC students: *are visibly confused as to why there's a kid in the Orientation*
Kid MC: *wearing a smaller version of the ceremonial robe*
Kid MC: Dad?
Malleus: Yes? *carrying them in his arms*
Kid MC: These feel like my pajamas.
Malleus: Do you feel cozy in it?
Kid MC: *nods* I don't think I can study while wearing this.
Malleus: *chuckles* Don't worry. There's another uniform you're going to use. The ceremonial robes are only for formal events.
Lilia: Malleus, it's time for MC to know which dorm they're going to be in.
Malleus: Would that be necessary? I'm sure they'll be in Diasomnia.
Lilia: Malleus, we still need to follow the protocol.
Malleus: *sigh* Fine.
Vil: Is there a reason why we have a literal kid here in Night Raven College?
Rook: I heard they're Roi du Dragon's adopted child.
Vil: Ah...
Kalim: Jamil! Jamil! Do you think they will be in our dorm?
Jamil: I doubt that.
Cater: Aww~. Look at them, Trey. Do you think they're going to be in Heartslabyul?
Trey: I don't mind having a kid over. Right, Riddle?
Riddle: *examining them* Hm. Yes.
The Dark Mirror: Please state your name.
Kid MC: MC Draconia!
Malleus: *smiles*
The Dark Mirror: The nature of your soul is...
Malleus: Diasomni—
The Dark Mirror: Pomefiore.
Vil: What?
Rook: *clapping*
Malleus: ...
Kid MC: Dad? My dorm is Pomefiore!
Malleus: ...
Malleus: No, it's Diasomnia. That was just a mistake. *about to leave the venue*
Vil: I'm not all enthusiastic about this. Rook, get our student.
Rook: Oui!
Sebek: Don't be sad, Waka-sama!
Malleus: I'm not sure if I can do that, Sebek.
Lilia: *chuckles* Oh, Malleus. Why are you acting like your child is never independent?
Lilia: They're going to be fine.
Silver: I agree with father. And Mr. Vil Schoenheit reassured you that he will take care of them.
Malleus: I don't need a stranger taking care of my child, Silver.
Silver: ...
Silver: MC will start their first class in a few hours. Would you like to check on them?
Professor Trein: Is everything clear?
Kid MC: *raises their hand* Professor!
Professor Trein: Yes?
Kid MC: Can I borrow this book? I didn't get to finish reading pages 206-209.
Professor Trein: Sure. But don't forget to do your homework. *giving them a chocolate bar*
Kid MC: Thank you, Professor!
Professor Trein: Now run along.
The other students: That's unfair, Professor! Why do they get to be dismissed early?!
Professor Trein: *frowns at them* Kids don't have long attention lifespan. And I don't want them to get bored in my history class.
Ace: *hides under his desk* Wow! You're playing favorites, Professor!
Professor Trein: Who said that?
Epel: How's your class, MC?
Kid MC: I got a chocolate bar!
Vil: Uh-huh. And what do we do with sweets?
Kid MC: I eat them.
Vil: ...
Epel: *laughs*
Vil: *sigh* Epel, just make sure this child brush their teeth later. Especially before sleeping.
Epel: Yes, sir.
Sebek: LITTLE HUMAN!!!
Silver: You don't have to shout, Sebek.
Malleus: *smiles* MC.
Kid MC: Dad! *runs to him*
Malleus: I've been looking for you everywhere.
Kid MC: My classes finish early than the others!
Malleus: Oh?
Vil: Yes. The headmage and all the teachers made an arrangement where they're going to have four hours of classes everyday.
Vil: You're free to take them to your dorm after they're done with school work, but you have to bring them back to Pomefiore before bedtime.
Malleus: Can't they just sleep in my dorm?
Vil: No. I'm their housewarden.
Epel: Don't worry, Mr. Malleus, sir. I'm sharing a room with them.
Kid MC: Hm! Epel is the manliest guy in Pomefiore! He can fight bad guys with his bare fists!
Epel: Hehe, you flatter m—Eek!
Malleus: Oho...? He could?
Silver: Malleus... It's not the place to be jealous...
Sebek: LITTLE HUMAN!!! DON'T FORGET THAT WE'RE ALL LOYAL TO WAKA-SAMA!!!
Kid MC: Yeah! You don't have to tell me, Sir Sebek!
Vil: MC, have you forgotten about acting all dainty?
Kid MC: *pouts*
Kid MC: But it's too late for me to do that now!
Vil: Do it.
Kid MC: *pouts again*
Kid MC: *looks at Malleus*
Kid MC: Dad~? Do you think I look stupidly cute today? *blink* *blink*
Vil: *facepalm*
Malleus: You're the most adorable child I've ever seen. *chuckles*
Of course Catnap’s helmet is the only one with blinkers…it’s so they know when he’s sleeping while standing on the job-
He’s prone to the Eepy Disease
Assassin: Any last words?
Darling: Just one.
Darling: BABIES!!
Cyres & Cryas: [appear out of nowhere]
Darling: Play nice with your new chew toy.
MC: *trying to make their way by feeling up the walls with their hands* *being careful for any bumps or cracks on the floor*
Cerberus: *watches them in confusion*
MC: *sigh* If there's only a way to know that I'm going the right way.
Cerberus: Ruff.
MC: ...
Cerberus: Ruff?
MC: Oh. Aren't you the dog earlier? Cerberus isn't? *slowly turns to where they heard him*
Cerberus: *comes closer to them* *letting them touch one of his heads*
MC: *sigh in relief* Thank goodness...
Cerberus: *growls* *then snorts*
MC: Is it okay if you guide me back to the hallway?
Cerberus: *grumbles as a response*
MC: *smiles* Thank you. I really appreciate your help—
Cerberus: *picking them up by the scruff of their shirt and throwing them on his back*
MC: *feels their heart dropped for a second, not until they felt his smooth fur*
Cerberus: *continues to grumble while he slowly walks*
MC: ...
MC: *soft chuckles* Thank you for your consideration, Cerberus.
Cerberus: *proudly raised his head*
What would Thaumo and Nalis do if I just went up to them sniffed their head and said “ew do you not take showers????” and proceed to stare at them with the most deadpan look
Thaumo would stare at you with that stunned confused look he sometimes gets for a minute. He’d then try to pull off a pitiful/pathetic expression & insist that he tried… if it wasn’t good enough maybe you should help him next time he is so obvious it is hurting me
Nalis would be more genuinely stunned and worried & immediately smell himself.
• if there’s a strange smell but it’s not coming from him, Nalis would immediately lead you out of the room, then go back & look for the cause of it.
• if there’s no strange smell he’ll accept your teasing & try to tease you back later in the day.
• there’s a small chance that Nalis got too caught up in his work & didn’t go home to shower or sleep that night. If this is the case he’d be kinda embarrassed, mumble that something work related came up, and sulk off for the rest of the day. The following day he’d show up at your desk, freshly showered & carrying your favorite drink, and in a much better mood again.
hello! can we have slight lemon of wind archer? but as a free choice for you to do whatever you can think of!!

Hmmm, I wonder what did you do to Wind Archer Cookie?
fun facts about Female Y/N and Male Y/N?
1. Fem Y/N and Male Y/N laugh at each other’s misery before helping each other (like best friends would do).
2. They act normal around other cookies especially Shadow Milk Cookie, but they hide this silly selves that they refuse to show (part of them thinks it is improper to them).
3. They are like partners in crime to each other despite being the same cookie.
4. They would play games together in their spare time for laughs and giggles.
5. Male Y/N would be the intrusive thought of the self of Fem Y/N to the point where he can piss her off within 5 minutes. (aka they are like sibling code)
6. Last fact, despite being the same cookie they got opposite taste
Levi: Solomon... Why didn't you tell me?
Levi: WHY IS MC WITH BARBATOS RIGHT NOW?!!!
Solomon: ...
Solomon: Because MC deserves love and happiness that you failed to give them.
Levi: I... I could do that... If you have given me another chance—
Solomon: Levi... Are you hearing yourself? Another chance? Who are you to be given another chance?
Levi: ...
Solomon: You were not the one who suffered, neglected, and felt unwanted because you're selfish who only knows about himself!!!
Levi: ...
Levi: B-But I love them... We promised to always be together...
Solomon: Yes. And you broke that. It's not my problem anymore. I have done my part.
Levi: ...
MC: *flinches*
Barbatos: MC? What's wrong? *worried*

Barbatos: Let's postpone the honeymoon for now and sleep like this.
MC: But... Isn't honeymoon an important thing for couples?
Barbatos: No, MC. You're the most important right now.
Barbatos: I want you to be comfortable.
MC: ...
MC: *snuggles against him* I am.
Barbatos: ...
Barbatos: My eternity... Your words alone could make me weak.
MC: *about to fall asleep* You have always... been saying that...
MC's siblings: *talking about love*
"I wonder when I will be summoned to meet my fated lover."
"I heard love can be bitter or sweet. How about you, MC? What do you think?"
MC: ...
MC: *smiles at them* I don't know. The idea of love... doesn't fascinate me.
MC's siblings: *looks at them, confused*
"But MC, you're an epitome of love itself."
MC: *hearing that someone is calling their name*
MC: I'm being summoned...
MC: ...
MC: I don't want to go.
"They're here."
MC: *opens their eyes as their red string get attached to their destined one*
Barbatos: *looks at them in awe*
MC: *tears up for an unknown reason* *then starts crying*
Barbatos and Solomon: *panics*
Solomon: H-Have we done something wrong?
Barbatos: *quickly approaches them* *wrapping his coat around their shoulders* *hugging them*
Barbatos: I'm sorry. Were you not expecting me?
MC: No... It's... I don't understand... Why I feel relieved...
ever since the cyres voiceline abt mother falling to his destruction ive been thinking abt if mother actually did die. they're poisoned or smthn, either way they go down. a beat or two of silence, all of teyvat stilling, directly before the boys go ballistic. would teyvat even survive that one? would they keep it around in an attempt to cling to what little remnants of mother were left?
Well whoever/whatever and everything close to it is snapped from existence :) they murder it to death even if it was inorganic.
Teyvat isn't entirely destroyed, Mother came back to it once, they cling to the slightest possibility you'll return to it again. After all, you're a being above even them, it's only a matter of time until you return to them.
But, for now, they'll take their emotions and frustrations out on the people that ruined Mother's return after they'd waited and waited and waited.
They'll wait again, they'll always wait for you and the moment you can be a happy family once more.
Trey: Hey. *chuckles* Don't eat too much.
Toddler MC: 'Is good!
Trey: Sure. Your face's a mess. *wipes the frosting from their cheek*
Toddler MC: *giggles*
Cater: Aww~! Trey? Are they a relative of yours?
Trey: Yes. My aunt asked me to babysit them just for today. I'm glad Riddle doesn't mind.
Toddler MC: *puts frosting on Trey's glasses* *giggles loudly*
Trey: ...
Cater: Pft—
Trey: Okay. I wasn't expecting that. *taking off his glasses*
Toddler MC: No glasses good!
Trey: *chuckles* Yes. But I can't see.
Cater: *laughs* Let me post this, please? *takes a picture of them*
Close to you
Characters: Dan Heng x (G/N)! Reader
Genre: Fluff, Unspoken Feelings
Game: Honkai Star Rail
Disclaimer: This is a one-shot story, please be aware of unexpected typos and ooc characters.
"For me to be this close to you....its unfair." He said as a hand reach out to your cheek.
When you say that you are close to him.
You ask yourself.
How close are you to him?
Sure Dan Heng is the type to remain silent about his past, change the topic, or anything else. But getting closer to him is trying to get to his world where he allows himself to be comforted by you.
You can't fix him and he can't either, that's how the world works. But there will be room for comfort even if not.
One night you went to see if anyone was there in the lobby, but only to see Dan Heng relaxing by the sofa being absorbed to his boom. Tho you wanted to talk to him, a part of you is saying that you don't want to bother him.
"(Y/n)? Why are you awake at this hour?"
And yet you are caught the second you want to avoid seeing his gaze, "I can't sleep..." You replied before Dan Heng nodded understanding your response before motioning for you to sit closer to him. You accept and sat beside him but he didn't look at you since he was fixated on his book.
It is very rare to see him reading out of his room.
"It's rare to see you here at this hour. Dan Heng."
"You think? Well, I wanted to relax here for a while."
You were not aware of that smooth lie he said, tho you can only understand how he feels just to relax and stare at the ceiling. But you were not aware, he was secretly staring at you, he had to come up with a lie cause he heard from March that you often come here in the middle of the night just to stargaze.
At least he manages to spend time with you even if you two aren't even that close.
And yet you both remain silent for a while until...
"You know, the universe is so interesting..."
You finally say something as Dan Heng was surprised to see your cute face being so absorbed in outer space. "Is that so..." He said as you looked at him with a pure smile on your face, "It makes me want to touch a star one day just to cuddle it, or explore other places on the planet to explore!"
"I do travel from time to time, but I do love to see various types of planets to analyze…. It does takes me back~”
Dan Heng can only stare but he was curious about what you are talking about, it is a chance for him to get to know more about you and all but. To think that he thought that it was still your first time talking about this, or maybe it was March who had your info to herself. You looked at Dan Heng with a spark of twinkle in your eyes excitedly, “I wanted to ask if you have also explored other planets and spaceships before!? Are there any new ones that you like???” He can only stare at you but he can tell that his ears are a bit red of the closeness you were to him.
And yet he can smile and nod just to reply to you about what places he has been before. Tho he did ask the same question that you asked, and yet he finds it fascinating about what you said about it even tho he knows that each places has its own messed up stories. However he did find your interactions with him relaxing, even tho he prefers the silence and yet he was secretly happy that you are having fun talking to him. You two don’t know how much time has passed before the silence kicks in, he had this realization that he did talk a bit too much about the places but he noticed that your head was on his shoulder sleeping soundly.
His eyes were widened and his face was flustered and yet he find you cute when you are resting peacefully in his shoulder. Dan Heng's heart was beating a bit too fast and yet, he finds himself pulling out his phone just to take a tiny photo of you sleeping on his shoulders. He questions himself why did he do all of this when its not necessary-no he DOES know.
Before meeting you, he was a bit too cautions but the more he spend time with you. He has a feeling that you are special not to others but to himself. The times he spend with you alone are rare but very special, he evenly remembers the time he was swallowed by your embrace when he was at his lowest, no words but comfort. Dan Heng hates to admit that he doesn't need such comfort and kindness but meeting you did change his mind to the point that he clearly has a crush on you. When you are doing adventures with him, his eyes were fixated on you like he won’t leave you alone till he knows that you are safe.
"For me to be this close to you....its unfair." He said as a hand reach out to your cheek. A small simple touch won’t wake you, and yet. He was trying to resist the chance to lean closer.
He knows pretty well that March and Stella/Caelus does have to tease him for that act, but they know pretty well that you are special to them. Your kindness never fails to make them grow closer to you. And yet, he just secretly wants your kindness to himself, but he should not feel greedy for this it makes him feel out of character for him.
“(Y/n)…”
Dan Heng smiles before placing his stuff to his invisible pockets before gently carrying you in his arms, “I….no.. it’s not the right time…. But I hope you had a good rest… (Y/n).” Those are the words he only says before walking you to your quietly, he opens your door just to gently place you on the bed before gently kissing your forehead before leaving.
“See you tomorrow….love..”
…..
….
…
..
.
The next day you woke up on your bed, confused since all you remember was your conversation with Dan Heng. Tho you might night remember what happened last night, you swore you felt a kiss, it puzzled you for a second before you had that realization now that you remember. Dan Heng DID carry you to your room while you were peacefully sleeping on his shoulder, your face was a blushing mess before you hide your face to the pillow mentally screaming of how embarrassing you are to him.
“What was I doing….hhhgghhh….”
On the other side, Dan Heng was trying to silence March who happen to take a photo of you and Dan Heng. He was trying to hide his blushing face but was secretly grateful that March gave him the photo, but she is forced to keep that moment a secret. Even tho she is trying not to tell you that he has a crush on you.
“Come on Dan Heng! You just need to tell them how much you love them!”
“March…the timing is not right for this…..”
“Oh come on!!”
“…”
Tho he has to find a way to feed a cookie to March in hopes to silence her since her voice can be heard by you by any chance.
