warmth. you were surrounded by so much warmth on such a clear, brisk night.

warmth of the speckling yellow and orange hues throughout the night’s sky; cozy glows of the already floating lanterns that waft around you.

warmth from the fire that licked the palm of your hands whenever you reached out to save a flame-lit lantern from being snuffed out by wandering too close to the water.

warmth from his eyes; molten gold twinkling at you with a gaze that made you feel like you were more than just some adventure. Keigo was looking at you like you were worth more than one thousand of those crystaled crowns he was looking for; like you were worth more than your hair. your pessimistic mother was convinced that it wasn’t possible. she guffawed when you told her that you met someone; her first reaction was to tell you that he was only going to leave you once he got what he wanted out of you-- but she wasn't there to see the dullness of his eyes soften after every passing hour until his irises were puddles of rich adoration.

that couldn’t possibly be a lie, right?

you felt a heaviness settle at the pit of your stomach, remembering what was hidden in your bag-- how it got there and why you were in this breathtaking scenery in the first place.

suddenly, in an unwanted head rush, everything became a bit too much, a bit too fast. thousands of thoughts racing a mile a minute only to come to a harsh halt at a wall of guilt.

the journey between the two of you couldn’t continue on, not like this; not when he’s the only reason that you’re able to experience your lifelong dream— with the wannabe stars floating so closely around the two of you, reflecting off of the stilled ocean, the guilt became insufferable.

the heaviness twists in your stomach as your heart makes its way to the base of your throat, making it difficult for the words to form, but the first sound escapes your mouth soon before you’re mentally ready.

when you turn away from your view of the castle, his attention is already on you. he’s holding two paper lanterns, both lit and ready to be set free.

your very own lanterns.

“haw-k-Keigo?”

he only blinks up at you and slightly leans in, a soft smile eased on his lips, inching the lanterns towards you.

letting out a broken sigh-- a vulnerable smile still in play-- you try to ignore the sinking feeling at the pit of your stomach and attempt to let your gratefulness take over as you climb onto the bench across from him.

he had gotten you lanterns to make living your dream even better.

you let out a hum, gathering your thoughts together; it was now or never.

patting the tops of your knees, you swallow your fear, “i have something for you too.”

catching a glimpse of his shoulders slightly sagging, you force yourself to follow through in grabbing the satchel.

holding it in front of him, you hope he didn’t see your facade falter as the look of realization took over his features when he saw the infamous purse.

you didn’t wait for him to say anything, “i should have given this to you before but, i was just scared.” pausing for a moment, trying to keep all incoming thoughts rational as you see his facial expression change, “and the thing is… i'm not scared anymore.” you shift, looking down, trying to think of anything else to say. when you look up, he’s smiling at you, creating a little flutter of your heart, “ you know what I mean?”

when he lifts his hand towards the bag, you stiffen— heart stopped and head racing- just waiting for him to pull the bag out of your grasp. but as you watch his big hand caresses the top of the bag before pushing it down, he says softly,

“i'm starting to.”

your heartbeat pulses throughout your whole body as your cheeks fill with heat, being unable to stop yourself from smiling.

once again he inches the lantern towards you, and this time you take it without hesitation, pausing for a mere second before simultaneously letting it float up with Keigo’s.

the two twirl around each other in a mesmerizingly graceful dance, joining the other lanterns twinkling in the atmosphere above you. you stay entranced for a bit until you feel your eyes zone out of focus— completely content in the moment.

the number of lanterns had tripled since the beginning of the event; now thousands of different shades, sizes, and variations of warm hues of pinks, oranges, yellows dotted your surroundings, illuminating the world in such a dreamy way-- you weren’t sure if you were actually awake.

instead of a pinch, what broke the trance were two warm hands enveloping yours.

you look up at Keigo, big doe eyes meeting steady and sure eyes- now taking in the other.

suddenly, the difference hit you in an instant. where before you would see a blazing fire for adventure behind his eyes, you now saw a future- warm and real and bright.

you feel him pull you closer, inch by inch, centimeter by centimeter, until the distance between you two was full of heart-pounding tension.

the comforting warmth from one of his hands left yours, only to brush a stray hair out from your face— adding it to the bang tucked behind your ear— then finding solace caressing your jaw, a thumb ghosting over the apple of your cheek.

instinctively, your eyes flutter shut, the last image imprinted in your mind was his gaze lingering on your lips.

you’ve heard about instances like this; in all the novels you’ve read where the tension between characters is high, the only resolution is a sweet kiss. a small exchange of intimacy in such a vulnerable moment.

heart hammering in your chest, your head shut down when you felt his breath on your face— his lips oh so close to your own.

there was a moment where the world around you became silent in anticipation; waiting for a move to be made, for the warmth of his lips, for the anxiety to settle.

it wasn’t what you’d expected.

described in your books, your first kiss is some magical experience where the sun shines bright and birds chirp a cheerful song or colorful fireworks of red, pink, and white explode in tune with your pounding heart beat.

it wasn’t like that.

it was a little peck, not too fast but not too slow either. not overpowering or limp. just a gentle peck.

when he pulled away, he was hesitant with absolutely no reason to be.

following the urge to do so, you cupped his face with both hands and kept him steady as you quickly leaned back in.

the impact was a bit clumsy, causing the flighty man to rumble out a chuckle, but he easily helped you ground the kiss by falling in synch with your movements. lips melded together in a welcomed embrace and the world around you became a blur; all you could focus on was just how secure his warmth could make you feel.

let me show you love // t. shouto

A reddening nose and puffy eyes are not a pretty sight to see, so you decided to just isolate yourself from the rest of the class until you get better.

Too bad you didn't count Todoroki's stubbornness as a factor.

Today was not a good day for you.

A groan was threatening to come out of your throat the first time you tried getting out of bed. Your body felt a bit heavier when you tried to move out of bed this morning but ignored the feeling altogether, thinking that it’s probably because she has just woken up. The thud that followed dismissed your thoughts, making a hiss slip past your lips at the sudden throb in your bum. You weren’t stupid, you know you’re sick. The symptoms are way too obvious to just ignore.

You pressed your head against the wall, trying your best not to stumble on your way to the bathroom. You were a tad bit thankful that most of the people in your floor aren’t early birds or else they would’ve seen you in this state. Contemplating on going to class today or not, you racked your head for the pros and cons of just dropping it all today to take a rest, trying to be rational for once.

I would miss all the activities they’ll do today, but Mr. Aizawa would probably let me off since I’m sick. Your inside voice tried to reason with you. Nah, I’ll probably be oka—

The argument suddenly went all out of the window when you saw your face in the mirror. Your skin was looking like it was drained in comparison to your usual tone, eyelids swollen.  Your lips are flaking so bad and there were bigger eyebags under your eyes than usual. You looked exactly like how you feel: dead. There’s no way that I’m going looking like this. I’ll definitely make someone cry. You thought as you made an expression and rubbed your face with your hands, groaning. Deciding to just stay back at the dorms, you did your thing in the bathroom and got out.

Pursing your chapped lips while trying not to peel some off, you swiftly made your way back to your room and started to block all means of light inside. You closed the curtain shut and tuned off the lightbulbs because they were hurting your eyes. You also turned off the air conditioner, not wanting to feel cold anymore. Crawling back to your bed for comfort, you quickly sent a message to your homeroom teacher informing him of your absence in class. Drowsiness almost immediately seeps through you after doing so, making you pass out on both exhaustion and lethargy.

=

Confusion made its way into Todoroki’s face as he stared at the empty seat beside Midoriya, an empty space instead of you welcoming his line of vision.

An early bird, that’s what you are. You were never a tardy student. In fact, you study too much, in his opinion. You would usually try to finish all the homework in the same day they were given, no matter how complicated it might be. The sight of you sleeping with an open laptop and a cup of coffee beside you wasn’t even an unusual sight to him anymore. There was even one time where he needed to drag you to bed because you were trying to finish a project in one night, two months before its given deadline.

That’s why it came as a surprise to him for you not to be attending class. Worry started to grow in the peppermint-haired boy’s thoughts as he sat in his designated seat, orbs concentrated on the door as he waits for you to bust through it.

His inner turmoil was abruptly stopped with the presence of Mr. Aizawa, the teacher looking worn out as he usually does. The scruffy-looking hero didn’t even spare a glance on the empty seat in front of him and started to talk about the objectives for the day. Todoroki couldn’t even give him his attention even if he tried, too bothered that you still haven’t arrived for morning classes.

The uneasiness didn’t dissipate at lunchtime. His eyes roamed almost frantically around the cafeteria; his brows furrowed. Did you really just skip school? His head was creating theories while clutched the tray in his hands tighter. Or maybe you were hurt? Oh no, what if something bad happened to you and he wasn’t there to—

“…Todoroki-kun!” Uraraka’s voice snapped him out of his stupor. “Are you okay? You’ve been spacing out all day.” He whipped his head towards her direction. Midoriya and Iida were also looking to his direction, concern showing in their faces as both of their brows were furrowed.

Todoroki waved his hand in their direction, trying to dismiss the question and console the trio. “It was nothing, don’t worry.” He muttered while picking up his chopsticks, before pausing. “I was just thinking of where (y/n) is.”

His answer seems to make something click on the three’s heads, finally understanding why the man was so out of it today. He was your significant other, after all. Midoriya speaks up first, his mouth half-full. “Didn’t you go with her to the convenience store yesterday to buy something? She didn’t tell you anything about going somewhere?” Todoroki was about to consider that answer when Iida disagreed with the green-haired boy.

“UA prohibits going somewhere to visit without either a teacher’s permission or a teacher themselves with the students.” Hand-chopping the air, Iida continues to give a in-detail explanation to the group. “It was implemented by the school to ensure that no student of UA will be in danger, considering the previous events that has happened to us. I don’t this (y/n) would be the type to not know the rule or even try to disobey it!”

Iida was right, too. Just like the boy with glasses, you were also a sucker for school rules, always wanting to follow them all, albeit not as loud and pushy as Iida usually is. Crossing out the possibility that you visited your parents for something urgent, his thoughts were about to worry about you being hurt by someone else when Uraraka joined in the conversation. “What if she’s sick? She told us before that she catches cold easily, right?”

Todoroki halted his thoughts for a second, thinking about the suggestion and as if on cue, his eyes widened for a bit. Why didn’t I think of that? He internally facepalmed himself.

Come to think of it, the two of you did get caught in the rain yesterday. He even told you to take a warm shower immediately when you both arrived at the dorms.

“Let’s run.”

“No.”

“Oh, come on! It’s only thirty minutes before lights out and I still want to eat the noodles.” One of your arms intertwined with his as you tried to coax him into running with you into the pouring rain, the other one shaking the plastic bag containing the said noodles.

You were both craving udon so you went out (read: You convinced him to go with you.) to buy instant ones, not knowing that a downpour was going to be happening. Now, the both of you are in front of the store, waiting for it to calm down. But it doesn’t look like it’ll happen soon. Todoroki runs his fingertips through his hair, a sigh puffing out of his lips

“On the count of three.” He muttered, loud enough for you to hear. You held onto the plastic bag tightly on one hand and his in the other, making him feel all warm inside. Contented with the set-up, you started to count down.

“One…” Shouto knew that the both of you will still be drenched, no matter how fast the you two of you run. That doesn’t mean he’ll stop you, though.

“Two…” He glances at you for a second. Your eyes were shining in glee, excitement swirling around those gorgeous orbs that he never ceased to fall in love with. Maybe, just maybe, running in the rain would be worth it if you looked that happy.

“Three.” Oh, well. He did try declining by saying “no” once. At least he can say that he tried.

“Go!” Pulling your boyfriend’s hand forward, the two of you started running at the signal, footsteps creating splashes. Your hair was getting wetter every second that passes, your clothes following suit but Todoroki’s eyes were still focused on you. A grin was plastered into your lips, amidst the mess you’re in right now.

It amazed him, like everything that you do. Your tendency of enjoying the smallest things in life is something that he had always have trouble understanding, as he grew up in an environment that prioritized the finer things in life. You looked at moments as if they’re all equal and always react with sheer excitement. Whether it’s receiving a new pen with a small Mirko keychain hanging from it to seeing pro heroes doing their job, your eye were always shining with excitement and delight, never ceasing to impress him.

He hopes that the gleam in your eyes never cease to exist because you look gorgeous--enchanting even-- with it.

The both of you ended up getting back to the dorms in 10 minutes, panting and soaked to the bone. Todoroki grabbed the plastic bag from your grasp and insisted that you should go take a shower so you wouldn’t get sick. You placed a kiss on his cheek and mumbled a quiet ‘thank you’ before making your way to your room, probably to get a towel.

After listening to Iida’s lecture about bringing umbrellas and running while raining, your boyfriend said his half-hearted apologies ang headed towards his room to dry himself and change clothing. It didn’t take him long so he went into the dorm kitchen with the bag of instant udon with him and started to cook it so that all you had to do is eat when you get out of the shower.

The day was a blur after that realization.

Todoroki was basically just zooming in doing all the school activities, even the assignments, so that he wouldn’t have to do them at the dorms and spend more time with his possibly-sick girlfriend. He thought it was ironic that he was being like this, especially when he was usually the one telling you to not drown yourself in a pile of activities.

The man sprinted out of the classroom huffing the moment that they got dismissed while waving to Midoriya, signaling his green-haired friend that he’s going ahead. The usual 10-minute walk back to the dorms was cut short to a 3-minute run, his careless running even making him trip by the dorm entrance. He paid it no mind and took off his shoes. Looking around when he got in, he could probably hear a pin drop if he dropped one. The common room doesn’t have any signs of a certain (e/c)-eyed person lounging around and he couldn’t hear any noises from the kitchen so Shouto concluded that you were probably in your dorm room.

The two of you had different floors so he used the stairs to get to yours. Hastily walking up to your room, his steps slowly got quieter as he approached your room, as if he’s afraid that he'll disturb you just in case you're sleeping. His knuckles made contact with wood as he knocked softly at your door. No response. He made another attempt, a bit louder this time just in case you just didn’t hear it the first time. When the silence surrounded him once again, Todoroki muttered a “I’m coming in.” and turned your doorknob, inviting himself inside your room.

Holy shit, he should’ve prepared himself because his eyes definitely weren’t.

It was way too dark inside; his eyes needed some time to adjust at the sudden loss of brightness. The only source of light available was the part of the window that the curtain, which did almost nothing to brighten up the space. The air conditioner was not whirring like usual, making the room feel closed off. His hands roamed around the wall as he searched for the light switch, a sigh slipping through his lips when a quick click echoed through the walls. He was about to roam his eyes around more when a pained groan came from the corner of the room. Shouto squinted his eyes as he looked in your bed. The moving of the stacked blankets alerted him that you were there, sleeping.

Tiptoeing closer to the bedside, Todoroki saw you furrow your eyebrows before burrowing your face on your pillow, probably because of his sudden opening of the lights.

“Babe.” Todoroki said, his hands gently scratching your scalp to at least comfort you a little. He didn’t miss the heat radiating from you, confirming the suspicions that you are sick. “Babe, wake up for a bit.”

His hushed voice woke you up from your slumber, much to your distaste because throbbing pain started growing into your skull. Opening your eyes, the sight of Todoroki looking at you worriedly made your heart pick up the pace. “You’re so pretty.” You absentmindedly mumbled your thoughts out the moment you opened your eyes, your voice cracking when you said the last syllable.

Chuckling at your comment, his fingers made its way to your cheeks as he tried to grasp how hot your skin is before he asked a question. “Have you eaten anything yet?” A grumble left your throat, your once soft and energetic tone gone raspy because of coughing too much. Todoroki sighed in discontentment and stood up to get you something to eat.

You tried to voice out that you’re okay and you don’t feel hungry but nothing came out, making you ‘tsk’ in annoyance. Making him take care of you is something you don’t want him to do right now. Running in the rain was your idea, after all. He did try to stop you but you just dismissed him. It was a relief to see that he was okay, but getting him sick because he stuck around while you are was just taking away his time to train and study. Plus, you probably look disgusting right now, with you skin feeling icky. You forced yourself to sit up so you can immediately take the food from your boyfriend and shoo him away.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Todoroki was contemplating whether he should give you the instant porridge or if he should cook you one. After a few minutes and some inner debates with himself, he decided to just give you the instant one, remembering how Bakugo reacted to the chives he chopped before.

(Todoroki thinks that he didn't do that bad. The chives are cooked, anyway. What's the point of chopping them properly? Humans have teeth for that.)

After pouring some hot water into the cup, the man let it simmer down a bit to cook as he looked for one of those cooling patches that he saw Aizawa giving to Aoyama when that blond had a fever himself. Also slipping a paracetamol into his pocket, he grabbed a glass and filled it with water, took the cup of porridge and walked back to your room.

Hearing the door creak open, your eyes immediately went to the door. Your eyes met Todoroki’s, so you smiled at him, making butterflies appear in his stomach. “Hi.”

Your boyfriend smiled back at you before closing the door. “You feel dizzy?” He asked as he placed the cup of water and the porridge on your bedside table. You lifted you head slightly only to see him patting his pockets to find something. After patting is right pants’ pocket, he pulled out what seems to be a cooling patch.

You replied to his question. “For a bit, yes. But not anymore.”  You suddenly felt a cool sensation when he sticks the said cooling patch into your forehead. “Thanks.”

“No problem. Here, porridge.” A cup of warm porridge was brought into your arms. You almost melted into the warm feeling in your palms. “Thank you. You can leave now. We can’t have you getting sick too.”

Puzzlement and shock immediately showed up into Todoroki’s features. “What? No, I don’t get sick easily. I can take car—”

“I’ll be fine, Shouto—”

“Eat the porridge first before it gets cold.” He cut you off with a sentence, sitting in the bed with a huff. Sighing in defeat, you reluctantly scooping up food to your mouth.  Shouto, on the other hand, was enjoying the sight in front of him.

Don’t get him wrong, he doesn’t like it when you’re sick and suffering. It’s just that there’s something about you that makes him warm and happy inside. Maybe it’s your features that he finds so pretty. Or is it just a certain aura? Or maybe it’s because you were his girlfriend? Either way, the sight of you in any way gives him serotonin, it’s insane. If someone asked Todoroki before if he’ll be this happy with someone, he would’ve just glared at them, told them to stop spouting out nonsense and walked away.

Seeing that you were scraping the last bits of the porridge, he gently took the empty cup way from you and started to talk in a hushed tone. “I know you don’t want me to take care of you but please let me. It’ll make you get better faster and you’ll get more rest.”  He scattered closer to you, tucking your hair into your ear.

“I just don’t want to bother y—”

“Nonsense. I like taking care of you.” Todoroki retorted.

“Ha, funny joke.”

“I’m not joking. In fact, I think you look delicious right now.” He spat out, his expression not wavering.

“I—Excuse me, what?” Bewilderment was an understatement on what you’re currently feeling right now. Is this guy fucking with me right now? “Babe, I literally have a bloated face right now.”

“That doesn’t dismiss my previous statement.”

“My nose is running, dammit.”

“And?”

“My point is that I look disgusting right now.”

“Just because you’re sick doesn’t mean you’re ugly already. I don’t care if you’re pale as paper, I’d still kiss you either way.” You eyed the man in front of you dubiously, not believing a word that is coming out of his pretty mouth. “You want me to prove it to you right now?” Not giving you a chance to reply, Todoroki placed both of his hand in your cheeks. With his lips pressed against yours forcefully, you can’t help release a giggly shriek. Releasing you from his grasp, he let out a breathy chuckle and grinned before asking. “So, can I stay?”

God, this man is going to be the death of you. Your eyes feasted on the beautiful human in front of you, trying to scan every detail on his face, all while trying to rack your brain for any excuses that you can use. “Your homework?”

“Did them already. Now let me take care of you.” Todoroki as quick to bury his face in the crook of your neck, the sudden movement making you giggle once again as his breath hits your skin.

“Jesus, I—fine! Just stop kissing me, you’re going to get sick!”

The both of you got comfortable in your bed and cuddled, much to your distain. You listened while Todoroki talked about his day, although he can’t tell much since his head was on the clouds, making you scold him a bit for not focusing in class. A few minutes passed by when Shouto noticed that you weren’t responding to his stories anymore. Looking down, he sees you, sound asleep, with your arms wrapped around his torso. He cocked his head to the side, amused. Taking a mental photo for keeps, he slowly took your harms away and slipped out of the blanket you were sharing. He buried his fingers into your hair once again to massage your scalp and leaned down, kissing the crown of your head.

“Goodnight, babe.” Todoroki whispered with a smile before going out of your room to let you sleep peacefully.

do you have any blog recommendations?

Greetings Anon, thank you for your ask. I've always had a list of blog recommendations! Though you probably might know some of them already. I'm going to list the ones that pop off the top of my head (of course there are many amazing writers in this fandom in which I can't keep up listing >.<)

@ddarker-dreams absolutely beautiful writing. Amazing characterization. Captures the mood and vibe perfectly whether the fic is long/short. I always go back to their fics if I feel I'm lacking inspiration (if you like yandere content this is the place!)

@dulcesiabits knows how to write unforgettable stories. Seriously, they would stick to my mind for MONTHS and I still remember them in detail. (Momento mori is my favourite so far :D)

@softcosmixs I remember reading one of their HCs and it was so cute! I admire people who can write fluff well, its something I strive to polish until I'm good at it

@witch-hazels-musings beautiful writing once again, I feel so soothed whenever reading her works uwu. Her blog is so wholesome too 🥺

@serensama though not genshin related I love LOVE the description of the way she writes. I also draw ideas from her fics (mostly mystic messenger) and I can't help but keep going as I read.

Hope this helps anon, enjoy reading :)

You never really thought this would be happening. Here you are, sitting with the five (5), if not most important characters of genshin impact. I mean especially the long-haired blonde who seems to turn into a puppy as soon as you give him a glance.

“Well, uhm..” you uncomfortably shifted, one hand holding a cup of water, the other being taken captive by Venti who can’t seem to leave you alone. “Uh..does anyone, want to explain why you’re here, and not in here?” You point to your phone.

They all open their mouth to explain, before backing down, seeming uncomfortable about talking to you. “Okay-“ you started, “You’re the creator of teyvat, your grace! And we came to take you home.” You could feel glares right on top of the other directed to the anemo archon who rubbed his cheek into your upper arm, looking at you. he was so mesmerized by you that he wasn’t bothered.

If looks could kill, he’d definitely be dead. “The creator?…” you spoke, your voice had a tone of confusion and curiosity. “Yes! You were brought here when you perished from protecting teyvat from some force, and we’re here to bring you back to the world you truly belong in!” Venti was digging an even deeper hole for himself, Zhongli sighed, making a mental note to punch him through a few mountains when they return.

“Uhm..yeah, no. Maybe you got the wrong person? I swear I never made Teyvat- more like it was made for me but-“ You were shushed by Ei. “well, you..you died in a war far before any nation was created, as a last resort to keep you safe, you were reincarnated to this world..” Ei explained. Zhongli nodded, agreeing with Ei’s words.

You sat looking at her with a dumbfounded expression, you absolutely cannot believe what she’s saying. “You’re messing with me, aren’t you? okay, very funny, that’s it-“ you stood up, Venti falling forward to your seat as you swiftly took your hand from his grasp, your upper arm was warm from him rubbing his face into it. He almost whined, holding his cheek who collided with the seat you used to sit in.

“We’re telling the truth, your grace! If we weren’t, why else would we be here?” Albedo spoke up, also standing from his seat, you looked at him with uncertainty, a silence slowly washing over you. Your eyes dart from each of the characters, Zhongli looked uncomfortable, staring at the cup of water you had handed to them. Ei was busy eyeing your cat, who had jumped on top of the table, curious to what’s happening.

Aether tightened his fists, also uncomfortable at the situation, Venti no longer looked at you, rubbing his cheek with his hand. A sigh left your lips, “look, I’m not this creator person you think I am,” you see them visibly deflate. “But I’m also not a cruel person, I won’t leave you guys out in the streets, if you guys really do come from gens- teyvat, then I’ll house you until you guys return, but only until then.” You pointed your finger at them, as if a parent scolding their child after eating sweets before their bedtime.

you silently hoped it won’t be long until they returned back.

It seems as that any god out there has not heard your prayers and pleas because you have crossed, the two-hundredth-twelveth (212) day, or for short, exactly seven (7) months, on your calendar of how long five (5) of the most important characters have been living in your home.

Zhongli no longer wore his long coat, you remember after a week of them staying with you, you had gone to get them clothes, Zhongli now wears white shirts and sweatpants, in which he still does not understand why they’re called sweatpants when you don’t “sweat” in them.

You may have caught yourself looking at him once or twice, the shirts you got him basically defines his abs. You remember not being able to look at Zhongli for at least three (3) days straight, because when you did, you’d be facing his pecs.

You are thankful for Zhongli though, he helps around with cooking and cleaning, sometimes you can feel his chest against your back when you’re cooking breakfast. Or when your cleaning when he carries you on his shoulders as you clean the highest shelves in your house.

Venti is also a bit of a problem to handle, because he’s been snooping in your closet while you work. How many times have you seen him wear your clothes? He particularly loves the skirts, you had some female friends leave them behind when they’d come sleep over for and skirts weren’t your style, he thankfully took them off your hands! he loves the way they twirl and they’re easy to just put on than shorts. Of course, you had no problems until Venti found…your underwear drawer. Ah, the face you made when he pulled out your underwear and asked what it was..you beat the shit out of him the same day.

Although he does cause problems, he’s the perfect person to go to when you’re under the weather. he either hums or sings you to sleep, persuading you to take a nap, he’s disheartened at the fact of how tired you are, he beats himself up on how he hates that he doesn’t know anything about your world, so you do the work for them, as you always have when they were still stuck in your game.

Ei, well, she wears anything! She prefers oversized shirts though, you had bought her, her own oversized shirts, some styles you’d think she’d enjoy, Ei loved it and always rambles and chirps about how she’s never wore anything so comfortable! Ei’s not a very chatty person, and sometimes she can feel how awkward it is when you sit beside her, enjoying tea you brewed for both of you. She’s embarrassed that she does not know what to say and ends up showing her gratitude and her want to communicate through actions.

She links her pinky with yours as you doze off, too tired to notice that she was basically holding hands with you. She paws at your shirt whenever she sees sweets being sold on the street whenever you guys go to the grocery because she’s shy to ask you to buy her some sweets. If someone told you years ago this is how the Raiden Shogun acts around her loved ones, you would’ve never believed it, behind her tough facade, lays a gentle bunny, just wanting affection from people she loves most.

Aether wore whatever you gave him, if you gave him a clown costume, he probably would’ve worn it. Aether doesn’t care about whatever you give him, he cares about you, your safety and happiness. He swore to that ever since he became your very first vessel. He helps with little things like, taking care of Marsh, who seems to love him as much as the cat loved you, or maybe carrying many bags of grocery to bring inside the house.

He doesn’t care much for what you give to him, or what you say to him, he’s there for you, and your happiness. He strives to keep that smile on your face. You can’t help but smile whenever you come home to Aether sleeping on the couch waiting for you with your cat curled up by his stomach, if you were to be honest, he looked like a boyfriend waiting for their darling partner to come home and so they could greet them but ended up sleeping, waiting. You felt grateful that he decides to wait for you. You showed your gratitude with a kiss on his forehead.

Albedo felt very outcast from this. You bonded with the rest of the characters so easily, but yet he, he doesn’t know what to say. He has a hard time understand human emotions, and he doesn’t know how to show them. He watches you pet Venti’s head out of affection, and his blood boils. He wants head pats too. Albedo wanted to talk to you about his experiments, his discoveries and alchemy, or maybe just drawing, art in usual. He was afraid that you wouldn’t like him and what he did, even though he pursued what he lived and breathed doing in teyvat just for you, he believed that was your path for him.

He never really expected a conversation, maybe a small “good morning Albedo, how are you?” But never a conversation, not like how you and Zhongli talk about history, or you teaching Venti about how music works in your world, or maybe Ei who you keep feeding sweets to, Aether, when both of you baby your cat and give him smooches. He kept expecting and expecting until you, watched him draw.

He finished a drawing that was done a few days ago, it was you, sitting by a window, reading your favourite book. You had approached him and sat beside him, leaning in a bit, he was a little shocked, you could tell from the way his grip fell from one of the pencils you brought him a week prior. “Just wanted to see what you’re drawing albe.” You smiled at him, he felt a small warmth grow in his chest, as he tried to continue drawing.

That’s only some of the stuff that’s happened during their stay at your home. In all honesty, you were slowly growing attached, you loved how every time you came home from work, you’d see aether sleeping on the couch with your cat, Zhongli greeting you from the kitchen, Ei watching him cook, and Venti who was strumming a ukulele you had kept in your storage.

You were slowly getting fond of them and used to them in your home, you know you shouldn’t be. They could poof anytime they want and you’ll have to get used to coming home to only your cat. You realize how lonely you lived your life. A sigh leaves your lips, slapping yourself on the cheek. “stop thinking like that, [name]. Don’t get attached. It’ll only hurt you.” You tell yourself. You don’t want to, but you have to.

“your grace, can we-“ Ei called out, reaching for you. “Ei, please we’re in public.” You pulled her to your side, looking at her hands which carried an item with a colourful packaging. Sweets, you assumed. “[name]…can we get this?” Ei corrected herself, showing you the object, she gave you puppy eyes, which you were sure she wasn’t even doing on purpose.

Both of you stared at each other in silence before you broke. A sigh left your lips as you put the item into your shopping cart. “That’s the last thing you’re getting for yourself, okay Ei?” You scolded her as she nodded, a small smile on her face.

Zhongli glanced from behind the both of you, his hands on the shopping cart, he was busy looking at snacks, that he deemed maybe healthy for you. You, Ei and Zhongli decided to spend the day going shopping, feeling too cooped up in the house. Ei clung to your arm as you guys strolled further into the snack isle, before a hand grabbed you unoccupied arm.

You stopped, looking at the man on which the hand was connected to, he was old, creepy and he smelt bad. “hey...” Your breath hitched, you stepped back, trying to free yourself from his grasp, Ei let go of your arm, pushing the creepy man away. “Don’t touch them.” Ei exclaimed, almost shielding you away. Her soft and flowery aura has now faded away, her hand in front of you to either keep him away or keep you away. It was obvious the man was drunk by the way he walked, wobbly and slurred.

“I’m not here for you..now out of the way..” The man tried to push her away, trying to get to you but being a shogun in teyvat means she’s not easily pushed around. “Ei-“ you watch the man try to push Ei around and start to slowly get violent, before you know it, you’re being dragged to the ground by the man.

It was a blur the next few seconds, the old man’s hand held your shirt in a death grip, you sat on the floor trying to get out of the drunkard’s grip, and another second, he was brought down, Zhongli toppled over him. “You stay the fuck away from them.” He growled, his fist raised as a threat as the man laid on the floor flabbergasted.

“Zhongli- no, no. Don’t.” You stood up quickly, your hand wrapping against his chest, pulling him off as security came to haul the drunk man away. Zhongli huffed, his fists still tight out of anger and annoyance. Your hand laid on his cheek, his gaze on the fading figure of the drunk man. “It’s okay, Zhongli. I’m okay.” You reassured him, his body subconsciously leaned into your palm, his hand slowly taking your wrist to keep you in place.

“let’s go home, please.”

being best friends with levi will always leave people asking if you two are dating. even if you two are in different majors, he's always outside of the building where you just had your previous lecture, waiting for you with a cardboard cup holder, his free hand scrolling through his phone to pass the time. you don't have to shout his name because the moment you walk over to him without a word, he knows that it's you who tapped his shoulder. pocketing his phone, he'll hand over the cup holder with a short "you need that more than me, don't want to experience your tyrannical ways because you didn't have your dose of caffeine". having levi as your best friend meant having someone who silently supports you in every crazy thing you do but also reminds you to never go overboard and hurt yourself. your rant sessions with him are always the best because as much as he looks like he's not interested with that poker face of his, he'll always hum and randomly say "damn, why didn't you say to your professor that you wanted to go solo for this project?" you know he always listens because you can see that tiny smirk in every story you vividly relay or the downturn of his eyebrows when he sees how burnt-out you are. when someone invades your privacy by constantly asking you out without stopping, levi will take your phone from you to type (with a concentrated look on his face that always makes you laugh, you just hope your screen is okay by how aggressive he pushes the keyboard), "fuck off, this is her boyfriend, we're having dinner right now. can you fucking stop, you desperate piece of shit?" he's always your supposed boyfriend during certain situations and it will always be that way. he doesn't mind and you're so thankful for him, so, you buy him tea for the rest of the week to show how grateful you are for warding off another one of your potential suitors.

having levi ackerman as a best friend is like having a soulmate (platonic or not) because when it's just the two of you, everybody disappears and all you see are each other. everything just feels right with him.

…holding the jujutsu kaisen characters’ faces.

𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐈 𝐘𝐔𝐔𝐉𝐈 pauses and tilts his head, though his face quickly breaks into a beam, the color of his cheeks matching his hair. if there was a puppy’s tail attached to him, it’d be wagging furiously by now. he then proceeds to nuzzle either one of your hands, loving the feel of your palms and the thumb rubbing his cheek, eyes sliding shut. they snap back open, stuck in a lovesick gaze when he feels your petals against his forehead and nose. once you’ve finished, he tackles you with a hug, burying his face in your hair. “love you,” he mumbles, tightening his hold around you, “so much.”

𝐅𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐎 𝐌𝐄𝐆𝐔𝐌𝐈’s face is blank at first. it doesn’t take long for it to morph to one of suspicion, eyes narrowed— a way of asking ‘what do you think you’re doing’. your reply came in the form of a sheepish smile, explaining how you simply wanted to admire his pretty features and provide affection. one of his eyebrow quirks. not wanting to annoy him further, you’re about to pull away, only for him to cover your hands with his, face looking off to the side. it’s your turn to raise a brow. “…never told you to stop…” he mutters, barely audible, the tip of his ears burning, subconsciously leaning further into your touch.

𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐈 𝐓𝐎𝐆𝐄 seems startled, though his widened eyes soften immediately upon spotting your familiar form. he didn’t say anything—not that you expected him to, anyways. another thing you didn’t expect, however, was for him to reciprocate the gesture, cradling your face with a tenderness one would use when holding the finest china. you brush over his eyelashes, which seemed to trigger something in him: peppering kisses all over your face as he basks in the sound of your melodious giggles.

𝐆𝐎𝐉𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐔 blinks once, then twice. his diamond cut irises gleam with pleasant surprise, mouth curling to a smirk. one of his hands reaches up, temporarily removing one of yours to place a kiss your on inner wrist, while the other makes its way around your waist, closing the distance between. “oh?” he starts, “and to what do i owe this pleasure?” his teasing tone prompts an eye roll from you. “my poor, unfortunate dumbass who’s hopelessly in love with you.” a low chuckle escapes him at your reply, and he shifts to press his forehead against yours. “really? ’s a good thing i’m hopelessly in with love you too, then.”

𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐈 𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐎’s unreadable expression doesn’t waver. “can i hold your face?” the question remains unanswered for a while, and sweat is beginning to gather at the back of your neck. you begin to crumble under the weight of his gaze. “ah, um, you know what? nevermi—” “cup your palms.” did you hear that right? “wha—” he doesn’t let you finish, already seizing and positioning your hands. afterwards, he leans his head forward to perch on your awaiting hold. he lets out a tired (or is it contented?) sigh, eyes sliding shut. you could’ve sworn you felt him snuggle into them. “don’t ask.” “what?” “next time, don’t ask. you don’t need permission to do this.”

𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐌𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐔𝐍𝐀 exhales loudly. he clicks his tongue, “this is revolting.” you pay little to no mind to his words, knowing there’s no real harm behind them. if he wants you gone, he would’ve done something, yet here he stayed, scowling at you but never making any actual effort to escape or pry you off. in fact, when you try to let go, he moves to grip your wrists faster than one can blink. “i thought you didn’t like—” “shut the fuck up.” again, his words drip with malice, but your smile never falters, especially not after the uncharacteristically gentle way he guides your hands back to his face.

First morning

Pairing: iwaizumi x f!reader

Warnings: iwaizumi (yes this warrants a warning)

Word Count: 1.6k

You let out a soft groan as the sun’s first rays shine on your face through the window. All the exhaustion from the past few days has caught up to you, making you want to go back to a dreamless and restful sleep. Besides, you are way too comfortable holding the heated body pillow close. You wiggle a little to press yourself closer to your pillow that lets out a short grunt in response.

Wait what?

Your eyes snap open to investigate the source of the sound. The first thing you see is the steady rise and fall of a broad and defined chest. You blink yourself awake as you try to get reoriented to your surroundings and you realize that a hand is gently holding your head. You slowly move your head to look at the man in your bed who you had thought to be your pillow. You are met with a handsome face that is mostly peaceful, save for the slight crease between his eyebrows.

Iwaizumi Hajime. Your husband.

ITADORI YUJI — it’s not that yuji doesn’t care, but he’s just so… casual about it?? he sees you pick up another letter on your desk and he’s like “oh cool, another one?” bro. what. idk why but himbo yuji<3 just popped into my head if he catches your secret admirer placing the letters on your desk, it’ll be a complete accident like nanami’s. yuji will just tell them - “hey, you know that’s my s/o’s desk, right?” SO plainly and casually LOL, might even ask if they want him to pass on the letter to you, yuji. baby. ..however! if at any point you’ve expressed that you really don’t like these letters or just feel uncomfortable because of them, yuji will go out of his way to stop it - he cares about your feelings more than anything. i don’t see yuji as a jealous or insecure person, and plus, he thinks his s/o’s beautiful, he obviously knew other people would see and feel the same way. again, at the end of the day, all he cares about in this scenario is your feelings.

SHARING A BED WITH THE GENSHIN BOYS.

genre. fluff, boyfriend au cw. none. pairings. xiao, kazuha, zhongli, childe x gn!reader.

all rights reserved to me. do not repost, translate or steal.

— xiao

xiao would be absolutely postively freaking the fuck out

he wouldn’t show it, obviously, because the last thing he’d want you to see are the reddening of his cheeks and his stiffer than normal stature

he would grumble a lot but deep deep deep deep x2 down he genuinely was so excited to sleep with you for the first time because it was a new step in your relationship

it takes him like 10 minutes after you fall asleep to lay down and then for like two hours (Absolutely No Exaggeration) he stares at you like a dog on the kitchen floor when you’re making food

it would take a couple times of laying together for him to finally bot get flustered anymore

— kazuha

kazuha would be so sweet and nice!!

he’d ask if it was okay for him to lay with you like twenty times because he was scared to even get near you or make you uncomfy

he’d also offer to put a pillow wall between you both and was literally hanging off the side of the bed despite putting it up

we all know how he is

he’s def the type to talk your fucking head off the the max at night like every time you’re on the verge of finally falling asleep he speaks out snd scares the living hell out of you

the pillow wall didn’t even prevent anything when you woke up the next morning he was attached to your side sleeping peacefully with a little smile on his face like ( ◠‿◠ )

— childe

a whore

100% absolutely planned how laying with you for the first time was gonna go weeks prior to the actual night

he put on cologne, brushed his teeth 5 times, sprayed that mint mouth spray, and put on his fanciest pajamas

he wouldn’t be like xiao or kazuha at all like not even similar in the slightest bit he wouldve jumped beside you the moment he was able to… which is exactly what he did

you didn’t even have time to register what was happening when you felt a gush of air and a head full of orange hair wiz past you and you were being forced to lay your head on his chest

he kept sighing dreamily every 5 minutes and asking “isn’t this just amazing”

despite this though he is very respectful and keeps his space if you want it but if you’re a cuddler he will not let you go unless you are blue in the face so dont even try asking

— zhongli

the gentlest gentleman

he would offer to sleep on the floor and actually wouldn’t take no for an answer because he felt like it was inappropriate to lay with you when you’ve only been dating for a month

but he might’ve underestimated how… hard the floor actually was in comparison to the comfort of his mattress and literally couldn’t sleep at all

so he decided to get up and lay on the couch instead…. but then there u went and called his name

as much as he doesn’t wanna admit he was hoping you’d ask him to lay with you bc the couch was as hard as a rock too… and luckily for him you did

like childe he would absolutely give you your space but if you wanted to hug him or him to cuddle you or anything he wouldn’t say no and would more than happily oblige <333

❅ ᴋᴀᴇʏᴀ

Laying on Kaeya's lap with his feathered fluffy scarf acting like a pillow while he's filling in paperwork at the Favonius Headquarters. It's all silent in the room as all you can hear are the slight shuffles of the paper, movement of the quil when being refilled with more ink and crackles of the fire from the candles.

His focus on the paperwork was suddenly on the soft yawn that had come from you. With him insisting that you can take a nap on his lap and that he'll wake you up when he's finished, you reluctantly agree and take his offer but when your about to thank him your eyelids start to grow heavier the more you keep them open.

Soon enough your eyes close and now your met with darkness as sleep has engulfed you full. Kaeya watched you fall into slumber and silently chuckles to himself before continuing on with the unwritten papers, unconsciously patting your head.

"Who knew that you would be able to make me feel welcomed like this love, you truly are the light in my dark path."

❅ ᴅɪʟᴜᴄ

Diluc reading a book with you situated on his lap while he reads out to you. It's been a long and tiresome day at the bar having to deal with drunkards, specifically speaking of Kaeya and Venti, and now all he wants to do is to be in your company.

His voice was calming to the ear and you couldn't help yourself but to yawn numerous times as he continues to read out loud to the both of you. Of course it doesn't take long till he notices this and has offered for you to rest on his chest, happily accepting the offer you had moved to get into a comfortable position before laying your head on his firm chest.

Checking to see if your comfortable, he continues on with reading. And it's not long before your eyelids feel heavy as you desperately try to stay awake but alas, sleep has taken over you. Diluc noticed and lowered the book onto the bedside table, limiting his movements he adjusted the both of you to lay flat and covered your bodies with the blanket. Admiring your face for a while and tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, he just can't seem to get enough of you.

"Rest my little flame, tomorrow is a new day and I'll be there waiting."

────────── 〔✿〕──────────

❅ ᴛᴀʀᴛᴀɢʟɪᴀ

Your currently sitting down at Tartaglias side in the Northland Bank helping him with finishing off some papers. There's no one in the building except for the two of you at this ungodly hour of night, all was seen from the window of his office were the shining lights of Liyue.

It's a calming atmosphere between you both, with you slightly humming a tune from time to time since he doesn't seem to mind it. Though you have yawned throughout it at times and he had tried several times to get to bed as he will follow on later after finishing them, yet stubbornly you seem to decline it every single time saying "I can wait, I'm not that tired."

Up until now where your soft snores have taken over the room. Chuckling to himself, he had quietly placed down his papers and quil for the night as he carefully stood up from his chair, carrying you bridal style to one of the spare couches in the room as he lays you on top of his chest and with a blanket over the two of you.

"Wow girlie, what ever are you going to do without me hm?"

────────── 〔✿〕──────────

❅ ᴢʜᴏɴɢʟɪ

Zhongli's shoulders are a bit tense at first when you had placed your head upon it but after getting used to it he lets you do so willingly. As for the two of you, your both at the Funeral Parlour and there's only few people who are still working like Hu Tao and Zhongli himself.

You on the other hand had intended on visiting him and to accompany him while he's finishing off so he won't get so lonely. He even had some tea brewed up for the two of you while chatting, Zhongli's doing most of the talking though, about the history of Liyue and the contracts that have been made throughout.

Let's be honest, with a voice like his there's no possible way that you won't be able to fall asleep after a while. He takes note of it and gently guides your head to his shoulders and slings his arm around your waist to ensure that you won't slip off the seat next to him while continuing to do his work.

"Oh, it seems like my storytelling has bored you enough haha. A bit of shut-eye doesn't seem to hurt, sleep well gem."

────────── 〔✿〕──────────

❅ ʙᴀɪᴢʜᴜ

It's a clear day in the Bubu Pharmacy and Baizhu had once again ordered Qiqi to go out and gather some herbs while he stayed to take care of the clients. You had offered to go along and help Qiqi with herb gatherings yet she had kindly declined your offer and with that she had begun to leave the pharmacy.

Now leaving you with Baizhu and some other workers, he had been observing you at times and has seen that you'd became drowsy at times and how you would take "a small nap" only for it to become a full 1 hour+ rest on your work table.

Seeing that, he had allowed for you to rest your head on his shoulders, despite his weak physical condition, as it was still to early in the morning for any customers to come in. Just be careful of Changshen that's situated on his shoulders too.

"My my, doing yourself in no good such as getting the lack of sleep isn't going to help much, dear. Take some shut-eye but be careful of Changshen, she doesn't like it when she's squashed."

────────── 〔✿〕──────────

❅ ᴅᴀɪɴꜱʟᴇɪꜰ

It's not everyday that the two of you rest in order to eliminate the abyss order but when you do, you can find yourself situated on Dainsleif's lap with your head leaning against his chest listening to the surroundings and his starry cape wrapped around your form.

It's night and the two of you are taking refuge underneath a big sakura tree in Inazuma, initially the both of you were dealing with some abyss mages and shadowy husks. Everything was going well until a shadowy husk had caught you off guard allowing yourself to be vulnerable for a minute and before you know it, it had attacked your figure leaving a deep cut into your skin.

Dainsleif was able to wipe out the others of his powers and now leaving yourself and him, he was going to question you if you were able to move forward but upon seeing your form he did quick work of the wound and cleaned up the blood before patching it up. This is now resulting in where you're at now, relaxing at your pace as Dainsleif's looking over your form.

"Perhaps it would've been greater if you wouldn't have joined me from the beginning, there's a lot more to go through but if you're able to keep up then I guess travelling with you is something I'll continue to look forward to."
