could you do tohma, kazuha, albedo and childes reaction to their s/o being really sore the day after :)

You wake up sore after fun activities~ ❤️

Pairings: Albedo, Kazuha, Childe and Tohma [separately] x GN!Reader

Warnings: Suggetive theme, so I put it under the cut. There isn't anything graphic, but if you feel uncomfortable with something that's said between the lines, don't read it. Every action of the characters is consensual.

Author's note: Hi dear anon, I hope you like this work. Enjoy and ignore any possible mistakes.

Albedo 📚

Your boyfriend Albedo woke you up by cuddling you hardly against his body. You already whimpered in pain with that action of his, but he started hovering his hand through your nude body, squeezing the flesh of some parts, making you uncomfortable.

"I think a good morning sex would be great, dollface. How that sounds?"

Since when did the alchemist got a sex drive that high? (Albedo just looks aloof but I headcanon him as someone who really enjoys having sex and all lol...)

"Albedo, you're squeezing me s-so much" A tear slipped from your eye as you felt ashamed you weren't able to satisfy him that morning.

"I'm not really in the mood now, love... I-"

"Your voice is strange, is something the matter, (Name)?" Albedo cleaned your tear.

"I'm fine... My... My body just hurts a little from yesterday"

Then he remembered last night's event.

"Oh... I'm so sorry, darling. I should have been more delicate with you. Please, forgive me"

"No 'Bedo, I loved every single part from yesterday, it's just I'm still really sensitive. We went through that for hours straight, I'm exhausted"

Albedo kissed your hair, bringing your body closer to his chest as you admired the little diamond shape thing he had on his neck.

"I'm sorry 'Bedo, I would love to-"

"Shush, it's alright. There's nothing wrong about it. I'll make a potion to help you with the pain and I will run a hot bath for you so you can clean yourself from yesterday and relax" Albedo's thumb caressed your cheek. "Please, don't do anything today... You don't even have to help me on my lab. I just want you to recover from our little session, okay sweetheart?"

"Sounds good. Thank you 'Bedo... You're the best boyfriend I could ever ask for"

Kazuha 🍁

You had just woken up, your body still above your boyfriend's. You managed to get up and sit on his lap, but you gasped in pain. Every single inch of your body hurted and was so sensitive you could almost cry if him didn't touch you with delicacy.

When Kazuha heard that whine, he felt sick to his stomach. He had been rough with you the last night, since you asked him to do so, but even so he felt terrible about how sore you had woken up.

"I'm sorry, (Name). I think I didn't respect your limits"

"No, no, no... Hey, Kazuha, look at me" You used your fingers to bring his face upwards so you could kiss him on the lips.

"I asked you to be rougher on me this time. It's completely normal that my body's hurting right now"

"Aren't you mad at me?" He asked shyly.

"Oh baby, how could I ever be mad at you for doing what I asked? Please, don't feel guilty about it. I even want to repeat that often"

Kazuha was still a little bit ashamed, but you caressed his white hair with love.

"Promise me you won't ever feel bad again if I wake up sore, alright? It just means you did a great job, okay my love?"

"Hmhm..." He pulled you for another kiss.

Childe 🌊

You were in a bad illuminated room in your boyfriend's house, your body hurting like crazy.

Yesterday was his birthday and after some glasses of wine, you guys decided to have some fun in your bedroom.

What you didn't expect was that you'd wake up so sore the next day.

Perhaps Childe had been too rough on you?

You sure enjoyed every single second of what you guys did last night, but you couldn't help but curse the pain you were feeling in your own mind.

You tried getting up from the bed to brush your teeth, take a bath and get ready for the day, since yesterday you fell asleep in pure exhaustion, but when you got up, you winced in pain.

Trying your very best to control your breath and whimpers, you started limping towards the bathroom right before hearing Childe's hoarse voice due to just getting awake calling for you:

"(Name)...? Are you alright? I thought I heard a small whimper, but I'm not sure. Was it yours?"

You flipped the switch and turned on the lights, gaining a grunt of discomfort from him.

"I'm..." Your eyebrows furrowed in agony. "I'm fine, babe" You returned to your bed limping once again because he had already woken up and your plan of leaving him sleep while you did your morning routine had been ruined by now.

Childe's ocean blue eyes observed your behavior really closely, soon noticing something was off.

"Are you hurt?"

"No, love I just,-" Your line was cut when Ajax pulled your body towards him so he could hold you close. "Argh! Be careful, please" You hold back a moan of pain.

"Oh gods, I made you sore from yesterday, right?"

"Well, kind of... But it's alright I enjoyed it"

"I'll make sure I'll be more careful the next time we have sex, okay sweetheart?" His voice tone was worried.

"I would appreciate it, Ajax" You smiled.

"I will buy some painkillers to you,  and I'll prepare a hot water bottle so you can recover quicker, okay?"

"Mhmm..."

"I'm really sorry, babe. But at least you gave me the best gift I've ever received last night"

"Shut up Childe, I can barely walk here"

"You were the one who asked me to go harder yesterday, darling" He joked, kissing your lips.

Tohma 🎋

You had woken up.

Your boyfriend Tohma was still sleeping when you tried to change your position, but you whined in pain.

It was almost like you had had a dreadfully hard workout, your body just wanting to shut down and sleep the rest of the day.

You observed Tohma sleeping, his tummy turned to the mattress, his mouth a little open, his nude body covered by the sheets and his eyebrows a little furrowed. Was he dreaming?

Your stretched your arm to play with his hair while you swallowed another gasp of discomfort. Maybe everything you guys did yesterday was really too much for you.

"(Name)..." He whispered, not opening his eyes yet. "This feels really nice"

You tried to get even closer to him only so you could whimper once again.

"Is something bothering you?" Tohma asked, opening his eyes slightly.

"No Tohma, I'm fine" Your voice was really quiet, of course you weren't feeling well.

He sat down with worry on the bed so he could see you better, and so he saw them.

Tohma saw all the hickeys you were carrying now on your neck, collarbones and chest... They looked really painful.

His heart ached with guilt.

He had gone too far.

Even with you telling him everything he was doing was just fine, he should have at least noticed he was hurting you someway.

"You're sore... Oh archons, I made you sore"

"No, baby, I swear to you I am doing great" Tohma brought one of his hands closer to you, pressing against a random spot from your skin.

"Ouch! That hurts a little"  You managed to let out with a hoarse voice.

"Even your voice sounds different... Maybe it was because I made you feel so good under me last night you couldn't help but keep screaming my name~?" He tried to cheer up the spirits.

"Tohma! Y-You're impossible!"

"It's not like you didn't enjoy it" He smiled to you, caressing your hair, while you almost killed him on the spot with your gaze.

"I am kidding, gods... I'll give you a massage so your muscles can relax a little. Also, I have some medicine here in my house, I'll give them to you. We can just cuddle the entire day, if you want. You'll be my personal cinnamon roll today. My duty is to keep my little roll happy and comfy"

Oh Jesus, Tohma is so cuteeee it hurts.

You tell them you’re pregnant 💕

Pairings: Diluc, Childe and Kaeya [separately] x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Some suggestive parts, idk? But it’s basically fluff. Ignore any mistakes and enjoy!

Diluc 🦉

You woke up feeling terrible.

You were feeling nauseous.

You were laid down on your bed of your shared room. Diluc was by your side, his arms around your waist. Sunlight rays entered the room even with a curtain in the windom.

Opening your eyes, you saw the still sleeping form of your husband and tooking off his arms from around your waist carefully to not wake him up, you got out of the bed.

You were feeling dizzy, your lower belly was aching and your stomach was sick. Feeling a urge to throw up, you went to the bathroom quietly to not bother Diluc.

Falling in the ground onto your knees, you emptied your stomach. While doing it, you felt a hand caressing your back, and soon your hair was being held up by that hand.

When you finished, you kept sat down in your knees, your head leaned against his shoulder.

"Sorry for waking you up, Diluc..." You whispered, without looking at him.

"You could have called me once you got out of the bed. Why didn't you do it? " His tone was worried. His hand still caressing your back.

"I-I didn't wanted to bother you..." You admitted.

"We are married, (Name). I should help you with anything... You can count on me for whatever you need" He was kind of... Upset?

You nodded and he helped you get up of the floor. Brushing your teeth, you felt your stomach getting sick again because of the taste of the toothpaste, but you tried to hide your problem from him. Finishing your cleaning, you went to your shared bedroom again, just to get ready to go to the Cathedral to confirm your thoughts.

"Congrats, (Name)! You're pregnant!" Barbara said happily.

You were expecting that already. You were suspicious about it for some weeks now.

"Thank you for helping me, Barbara!"

At night you had to tell Diluc you were carrying his child.

"Hey, love..." You whispered.

"Yes?" Diluc seemed unapproachable as always.

"I need to tell you something..."

"About your pregnancy?" He mumbled.

"W-what? How did you..." He cut you delicately:

"I noticed you missed your period for two months, baby... And I'm happy to start a family with you" Diluc kissed your lips lovingly.

Childe 🌊

You were spending some days at the beach with your boyfriend Childe. But one certain day, before going to the beach itself, while you were putting on your bikini you noticed it was tighter.

‘How have I put on weight so quickly? I dind’t change my habits and…’ Your thoughts were shut up when Childe arrived the bedroom of the hotel you guys were.

“Damn, you look amazing, baby” Didn’t he noticed that your belly were a little swollen?

“Umm… Thank you, love” You whispered shyly.

“Let me put on sunscreen on you, I don’t want you to get a sunburn” His fingers applied the product with care on you. When he arrived at your little swollen belly you thought he would comment something but he was silent all the way. Was he playing a trick on you?

Arriving at the beach, you guys thankfully had fun there, even though you were feeling strange. Your stomach was aching and you were really tired even relaxing all time in the trip.

“Hey girlie, I’m going to swim a little bit, do you wanna come?” He said after some hours you guys were at the beach.

“Ajax, we spent so much time in the sea my skin is wrinkled” You said smiling, denying his plea.

“Nah, a shame, so I’ll go alone” He kissed you on the lips before running towards the ocean.

You observed him from afar. Childe was handsome and he was such a caring boyfriend to you. If your suspicions were correct, you were pregnant with his baby. You had missed three periods without letting him notice, even with his constant worry about your health. You said it could be normal in some situations. He seemed that he believed you.

That afternoon was calm and warm, but that night you suffered a lot. While your boyfriend was taking a shower, you sneaked out to have a pregnancy test. (Let’s pretend those exist in Teyvat).

‘Yay (Name), you got pregnant in the night of Ajax’s birthday’ You thought to yourself.

“Hey love, I ordered seafood to us, how that sounds to you?” Tartaglia said when he left the shower. Only hearing the word ‘seafood’ made your stomach ache. But you tried your very best to eat it with him, since he was so happy to have that kind of dinner with you.

You had only ate some shrimp when you left the table running towards the bathroom.

“(Name)?” Childe’s worried voice followed you. “Oh love… You could have said you didn’t want seafood, I could have order something else” He mumbled, holding your hair.

After you finished and cleaned your mouth, you laid down on the bed with Childe by your side.

“Poor baby… You look pale and you’re sweating a lot” He whispered, kissing your hair.

“Your food will get cold, dear” You told him, trying to get some time quiet to think about what you had just discovered.

“I don’t care. I’m not really hungry… Are you feeling any better?”

“Ajax… I have some news to share” You regretted your words instantly.

“Uh? You can tell me anything, love”

“I’m… Well, I’m pregnant… That’s why I couldn’t eat the seafood” You enlaced his hands with yours right above your lower belly.

“Oh… Oh!” He realized how big that news were. “So I really knocked you up on my birthday’s night, uh?” He said openly.

“That’s what you’re going to say when I tell you you’re going to be a father?” You face palmed.

“I’m just kidding, girlie. Ne, I’m happy as ever. I can’t wait to spoil them like I do with Teucer”

“They aren’t going to be spoiled by you, dummie” You punched his arm weakly.

“Nah, they’ll do be spoiled by me and you can’t do anything about that”

Kaeya ❄

You were training with your boyfriend Kaeya in the wild. You worked for the Knights of Favonious so your schedule was always busy and some of the short time you spent with Kaeya was full with draining trains.

"(Name), you're slower than usual. Is something bothering you, love?" Well, yes. The unbearable nausea you were feeling was killing you.

Kaeya once again used his sword against you, only to you not defend yourself from his attack.

"What's happening?" He said frustrated. "If you're going to train badly like this we will be better at our home"

"Please, don't say that, Kaeya" You pleaded, trying so hard to just not throw up right there. "I can do it, let's start once again, please" You spoke quietly, uncertainty in your voice. You weren't sure if you'd be able to catch up with his expectations that afternoon.

'I missed my last two periods... I may be pregnant and yet I'm still working so hard I'm almost passing out in exhaustion' you thought, loosing once again the opportunity of striking back his attack.

“Archons, let’s go home, (Name). You’re looking strange and shaken up I think it will be better if we stop now” Was the last thing you heard before passing out.

You woke up on the Cathedral, with Kaeya by your side.

“(Name)! Thank gods you’re awake!” The Calvary Captain told you, holding your hand carefully.

Barbara and Jean were there too, a little bit away from you and your boyfriend, talking with each other, but once they saw you were awake, they came towards you with worry their gaze.

“(Name), you passed out of nowhere… You’re somewhat weak, sweetheart” Jean said, smiling with compassion.

“You’re overworking yourself, it’s not good for you or for the baby you’re carrying” Kaeya was assenting automatically with Barbara’s words until he heard the last part.

“Baby? What do you mean…? Oh gods… (Name)! You were working so hard overtime and training like crazy while pregnant?” Kaeya looked astonished.

“I wasn’t sure I was pregnant, so I couldn’t just quit my duties as a knight, Kaeya”

“Oh gods, my girlfriend is a workaholic… (Name), you’re passing through a delicate moment and you can’t push your limits like that, especially in the beginning of a pregnancy!” Your boyfriend reprimanded you carefully to not hurt your feelings.

“So I am indeed pregnant… I can’t even believe it” You whispered, your thumb caressing your lower belly above the fabric of your blouse.

“Congratulations” The sisters told you lovingly, before giving you and Kaeya some privacy.

“So you’re going to ignore what I just said about your health, babe?” Kaeya joked.

“Well… I’m sorry, love… I’m just surprised, you know”

“I’m surprised too, but that is what happen when you cum insi-“

“Shut up, Kaeya. If you don’t have anything better to say, save it” You said, faking anger.

“I’m sorry, princess… I am really happy to have a child with you, since you know… I’m so charming that your body had no other choice than make a baby for me” You rolled your eyes, gaining a laughter from your boyfriend. “Thank you (Name), you just made me the happiest man alive with this news” You accepted his peck on your lips when you got up to go home.

isn’t it obvious

part 2 of “can’t make a sound”

_________________

You couldn’t help but pace outside of your mother’s house. Clutching your pocket watch in your hand as you had just knocked on the front door, feeling so guilty for coming so late, for having to wake her up at an ungodly hour of night.

“Y/n?” Your mother’s voice softly called out, sleep lacing her tone.

You wipe your face hoping that your tears were now dry and your swollen red eyes were back to normal. “Mom, Surprise! Haha I decided to come visit you after all, I’m sorry it’s so late.” You laugh, closing your eyes at her concerned stare as she narrowed her own eyes at your state.

“I’m surprised to say the least, I’m more than happy you’re here. But sweetie, why are you here so late? Are you aware of the time? And why are you alone? Where’s Diluc?” Your mother threw one question after another at you, only upon hearing his name did she stop seeing your shoulders slump and your smile drop.

“What happened? Sweetie?” Your mother opened the door wider, arms opening up welcoming you in her embrace that immediately made you break down once again. She only held you, rocking you back and forth, slowly making her way back inside with you. She sat you down on the couch to make sure you were ok. Only, after she calmed you down you immediately fell asleep, she didn’t mind one bit though, she didn’t even bother getting up as she let your head lay on her lap as her own eyes shut once again. You couldn’t bring yourself to tell her and she didn’t press on, she understands, she’ll wait until you're ready to talk about it not wanting to cause you any more pain than you’ve felt tonight alone.

Diluc sat in his office as the night enveloped him whole. Only a single candle was lit in the dark room as his head hung low in his hands. He wanted to go and get you back right now more than anything but the rational side of him told himself to let you cool off. He knew where you were going at the very least so he knew where to find you but he wanted you back home, he needed you back home, now. He would’ve ran after you, into the night to get you back safe in his arms where you belong but he also knows you probably didn’t want to see him at the moment either. He had to swallow his stubbornness and respect that but archons, he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t going crazy.

He couldn’t bring himself to go back into your shared bedroom, no not without you in there. Your presence was something that was greatly missed even though you’ve been gone for only a few hours by now. Your voice and laughter wasn’t heard echoing down the halls as usual and Diluc was now left with what you’ve been feeling for the past days, weeks, months even. Throughout the past few years you’ve been together he’s never been alone without you at the Dawn Winery and now that he is he can’t handle it, his heart feels too heavy as he recalls his actions of last night. Of his negligence for the past few weeks. He’s getting a taste of his own medicine.

For the first time in a very long time Diluc didn’t show up for work at the tavern. The soft rays of sunlight were now peeking in through his office curtains indicating just how fast time has slipped through his fingers without him even noticing, as he was in his own head the whole time. His usual schedule was broken for the first time in a very long time. He got ready for today yes but not for his usual routine, he got dressed but only had one objective on his mind today and that was going to your mother’s to get you back. No one at the Dawn Winery dared to ask Diluc why he wasn’t at work yet or why he missed today as some of them had heard what happened. So as he walks out of the house, eyebrows furrowed, eye bags prominent and hair a bit unkempt and messy, no one says a word. They know where he’s going and who exactly he’s going for.

Diluc was no stranger to your mother’s house. He was introduced to her a few months after you both had gotten together and to say that your mother loved him was an understatement. Everything about Diluc screamed perfect to your mother. He was a true gentleman, a bit stoic, but caring nonetheless. She’s seen the small smile that plays on his lips when he’s with you and the way his eyes always wander to you if you're both in the same room together. As for your mother, Diluc couldn’t help but come to care greatly for her as well. He saw where you get your stubbornness and also your sharp tongue. He couldn’t help but come to love visiting your mom during special times as he found comfort in a mother figure he never really had.

On his way to your childhood home he had time to think. To think of everything he’s done, and everything he hasn’t. You’ve been quietly accepting the way he’s been treating you, not uttering a word, not even complaining. But the one night he promised you, the one night he comes to love more and more every year he forgot. Not only that but he went out and had dinner with someone you can’t help but feel insecure around. Every time his mind brought it up he felt sick. Heck if he was in your position he wouldn’t even know what he would’ve done.

Diluc has a hard time conveying his true feelings through words most of the time so he conveys his appreciation through actions, but he knows actions alone aren’t going to convince you that his answer all along is you. No, he needs you to hear the words come out of his mouth, he needs to look you in the eyes and tell you word for word what he feels for you but he’s unsure if he can even do so as his love for you knows no bounds. He’s scared he loves so hard that he can’t control himself. He stood silent and let you leave because he couldn’t form his love for you into words but this time, this time he’ll let you know.

Diluc found himself walking up the familiar pathway to your mother’s house a bit after 12:00 the afternoon, a gentle breeze blowing by making Diluc’s heart squeeze at the sight of your house. He isn’t one to feel anxious or nervous in any way but something heavy formed in his stomach as he feared the worst. He’s scared, terrified you’re going to not want to see him, say it’s over and all is done. But he won’t give up. Diluc swallows the lump in his throat and adjusts the tie on his neck, pulling it down to loosen it up a bit.

Diluc only quickened his pace up the path, wanting nothing more than to make sure you’re ok, that you’re safe. He saw your mother exiting the front door as he made his way up the trail to the porch.

“Y/n, I’m going to head out, I’ll be back in a bit make sure you eat something ok? And please stay for as long as you need, you're more than welcome to do so. I’ll just make a quick run to grab some food, I’ll be back soon!” You mother called out, her head facing the side as she opened the door. Diluc only froze in place. Did you tell your mother what happened? Was she going to be mad at him? His mind raced as he just stared at her, not knowing what to say, not knowing what she'd tell him.

Your mother only turned her head as after she closed the door, not even startled by Diluc’s presence, only sending him a soft smile and walking up to give him a hug.

“Diluc sweetheart, it’s good to see you.” Your mom welcomed him like he was her own, not asking why he’s here as she knew deep down why he was. Though you didn’t tell her anything, she can tell why he’s here by how he looks, just as bad as you did when you showed up last night. She has no reason to send him away or be mad at him as she knows he’s here to make things right. Just by him being here showed how much he cared, he could’ve let you be or not even bothered to come at all to make amends but he’s here and it only made your mother proud that he cares so much. Diluc only returns her hug and sends her one of his very rare reserved smiles as he lets out a small surprised chuckle.

“Pardon my sudden intrusion Mrs. y/l/n, I didn’t mean to come out of nowhere and I’m very sorry I didn’t come last night with y/n I didn’t mean to let them come alone we just-“

“No need to explain,” Your mother only lifted her hand, gently patting his shoulder. “No reason to apologize either, you're welcome here anytime, and no need to tell me your business. I know you came here for a reason and I don’t want to intrude, please continue to take care of y/n for me and please stay here until I come back. They’re inside, make yourself at home and talk to them.” Your mother squeezed his shoulder and stepped around him.

“Thank you,” Diluc could only smile at your mother, seeing exactly where you get your understanding heart from. “I'll make things right, I promise.” He whispers under his breath as your mom waves at him making her way out, leaving him at the porch to do what he came here to do, make things right.

Diluc was now faced with the door in front of him as he made his way up the porch. He wasted no time knocking, tapping his knuckles on the wooden door three times. Shortly after he heard shuffling come from the inside indicating you were moving to the door, he only straightened his posture.

“Mom?” You questioned as you turned the knob, confused as to why she was knocking when she usually always carries her keys with her at all times.

Your mouth slightly hung open upon seeing who was on the other side of the door. You hadn’t expected to see him so soon. Honestly you didn’t really know what to expect. Him to be mad? Upset at you for just barging out. You felt embarrassed for just leaving last night but your heavy heart couldn’t stand staying another second after you got your answer.

You prayed that your eyes weren’t as swollen as they were last night. Though you didn’t expect him to be here so soon you’d be lying if you said you didn’t feel slightly bad for leaving him alone. Though he hurt you, you still wanted to see him as well, you missed him.

You open the door wider and look down at your hands, not really knowing what he wants you to say.

“Diluc-“

“Love, can I talk to you, please. I need you to hear this. I need you to actually hear me say it so you can understand my feelings.” Diluc blurted out, his nerves getting the best of him but one look at you and he knew just how much this hurt you. The bags under your eyes and red circles indicated that you were crying for who knows how long by now.

Diluc felt his jaw clench at your appearance, knowing he was the one that caused you distress was making him more angry at himself than he already was.

You only blink at your hands. “He wants to talk? Is he going to end things? Finally going to call it quits as I made him realize it wasn’t me he wanted this whole time?” Your mind started to spiral again, as it’s been doing since yesterday. You felt your eyes start to burn again as you shifted your weight from one foot to the other, too scared to hear what he’d say. Too scared to look him in the eyes.

“T-talk? I got my answer yesterday no need to do so.” You stutter out, voice slightly cracking making Diluc’s fist clench.

“Hey hey, y/n no,” Diluc took a step forward as you took one back, once again recoiling from his touch making him hurt more.

“No please don’t, don’t back away from me. Let me tell you what I have to say. Listen to me.” His eyebrows draw together as he holds his hands up, indicating he won’t try to grab you again so you won’t back up.

“Y/n Listen, I don’t know why I hesitated. I was just shocked that you even had to ask such a question. Don’t you see?” He looked down at you, eyebrows furrowed. You only wipe the burn from your eyes and continue to stare at your hands.

“Don’t you see y/n,” Diluc whispered, his hand slowly coming up under your chin to make you look at him, he wanted to look you in the eyes to show how serious he is, how much he means the words he is about to say.

“You are the one I’d choose,” He breathed out. “In a heartbeat. No one else, not Jean, not anyone. You are the one I’d choose over anyone. You’re the only one that’s made me see the joys of life and living in general. Before you I was a shell of a man and you brought my life back, you revived me, so please don’t ever for one second think that I would put anyone before you as no one but you has my heart.” His eyes held so much tender love in them as he spoke, making your sniffles become even louder. You half expect him to break things off, not tell you this. But this, this was much better, your heart only felt heavier at his words feeling ashamed for letting your intrusive thoughts get the better of you.

“But- but I don’t deserve- Jean is s-she’s the one you want?” Your eyebrows furrowed as your vision blurred once again. “Besides I- I left you alone, I didn’t let you explain. I-I’m sorry I didn't know what to-“ you stuttered as tears rolled down your cheeks.

Diluc couldn’t bear to stand there and watch you break down again. He took two long strides up to your small frame wrapping you up in his arms, tucking your head under his chin as he shook his head no, relief washing over him as you didn’t move away. “Shhhh love I have you, I’m not letting you go either.” Diluc wrapped his arms tighter around your frame, you still had your intrusive mindset and he couldn’t handle seeing you like this. Your hands only clutched his shirt as he held you, you felt just as much comfort from his embrace as you did from your mother’s. “You don’t need to apologize to me love. I’m sorry for leaving you alone for so long. For not giving you the answer sooner, I just thought you already knew, I thought you could clearly see you're the one I’d choose. Seeing you walk out made me realize what a fool I’ve been,” Diluc pulled away, holding your face in both of his hands as he looked down at you.

“You love, are the reason I wake up every morning, your voice, your laugh, your everything is all I need, all I want. Please don’t ever let your mind think otherwise. Even if it does I’ll show you, remind you just how special you are to me no matter how many times I need to do so. But please don’t leave me, don’t ever leave again, as I don’t think my heart can handle ever seeing you walk out the door.” His forehead now rested against yours as he closed his own eyes to stop the burning in his eyes. Diluc has always been one to never show emotion, he always wore his usual stoic expression with a small frown tugging the corners of his lips, he’s always had a hard time explaining his feelings, but seeing him with this much emotion and hearing him say the words you thought you wouldn’t hear made you believe that the words he spoke were genuine, truly from his heart.

Your hands gently wrapped around his wrists giving them a gentle squeeze, your heart feeling heavy seeing him hold back tears.

“D-Diluc,” You hiccup, now crying because of what he said, not because he hurt you no because his words made you feel loved, in a way you didn’t think you deserved he showed you otherwise. “I-I’m sorry. I’m sorry I left you alone,” You give his wrists a gentle squeeze as you feel them slightly tremble against your face. “I’ll stay right here, I’m sorry I didn’t let you explain earlier, but I believe you Diluc, I do. Thank you for coming for me, for not letting me go, thank you f-for choosing me.” You choke out, everything you’ve been holding in now spilling out. Your mind made you believe that you weren’t worthy of him for so long, not worthy of his love but the words he spoke to you made you see otherwise, the man standing in front of you poured his heart into his words which wasn’t something he often did, he made you feel loved just by assuring you, that it’s you he wants.

Diluc only closed the distance between you both, not knowing how else to put his feelings into words. He hoped his lips on yours would tell you everything he feels. He pulled you in closer by your waist, other hand gently cradling the back of your head not letting you go, too afraid you’d walk away again.

Out of breath you both pull away as Diluc’s thumbs gently brush the tears off your face. “No love, it is I who should thank you for choosing me.” He gently smiled as your beautiful smile appeared on your lips, oh how he missed your smile so much. “You’ve no idea how much I’ve missed you dear, archons it’s been far too long.” He smiled down at you, a smile only reserved for the one person he truly loves as he was truly a lovesick fool for you. He only closed the distance between you two once again, holding you close, not letting you go as he knows he has to cherish these precious moments. He is yours as you are his. He promises himself as he deepens the kiss that he’d take away and uncertain feeling or insecurity you have about yourself and remind you just how much love he has for you and he’d gladly show it through kisses anytime.

_________________

All day Diluc couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that settled in his chest since he woke up. It felt as if he was missing something. All day he's been trying to recall what it was as the feeling only grew as time went on. His day went by just as any other. He woke up early as always, went to the tavern, worked his usual shift with his usual rowdy customers. The only eventful thing he did today was grab dinner with Jean at a new restaurant that had recently opened up. He would’ve declined but Charles convinced him telling him he can manage the tavern by himself, plus he remembered how you always tell him to put himself out there more often, especially when it comes to his close friends. Jean had free time after so long and he decided that it'd be nice to catch up with an old friend once in a while so he took up her offer and enjoyed it very much. But after dinner the heavy feeling didn’t go away. Even after a few hours of his usual patrol as Dark Knight Hero the feeling only got heavier than before.

Since there was no signs of any unusual activity tonight Diluc had decided to call it a night earlier than usual. Deciding to make his way home earlier to try and at least spend some time with you if he can. He’s been very busy as of late. The only time he sees you is when he goes to bed, though you're already asleep before him most of the time. The time was just about past midnight, it was still early for calling it a night as he usually stays later but the feeling in his chest made him uneasy.

Upon arriving at the Dawn Winery everything was dark and quiet. He made his way upstairs and saw no one in sight, guessing everyone had already called it a night a few hours ago. As he neared your shared bedroom he saw the light peeking through the cracks of the doors. A small smile made its way on his lips, though he didn’t like you staying up late he really did want to spend some time with you tonight.

“Y/n?” Diluc calls out, opening the door to see what you were doing.

You had your back facing him as you were looking through your closet, you only froze upon hearing him call your name.

“Y/- dear what are you still doing up?” Diluc questions, closing the door behind him. He took a good look at the outfit you were currently wearing. It was one you’ve been saving for a special occasion. He was a bit confused as to why you were wearing it right now as it was late. You were usually in your pajamas by now.

“Dear?” Diluc’s eyebrows draw together, confused as to why you haven’t even turned to greet him and why you haven’t given him a response though he called you twice.

Now, if this were any other night you would be more than happy to see Diluc home so early. You were relieved he was, you knew he was safe at least and weren’t worried anymore. But you weren’t sure if you could face him right now. It’s been a few minutes since it turned into a new day but yesterday was your birthday. Diluc had told you he’d take you out for dinner at a new restaurant that had opened up a few weeks ago telling you to not plan anything else since he wanted to take you out. Only, he never showed. You had gotten ready hours prior, you were beyond excited to finally spend time with him as it has been too long since the last time you both had a night out. You had even canceled your planned visit to your mothers today just to go out with him since you both haven’t had much time to spend together. You patiently waited for his arrival, sitting down by the front entrance as you smiled at the clock after every hour passed. 4:00 was the time he promised to pick you up.

When the clock hit 4:00 the butterflies in your stomach made you feel giddy, like it was your first date all over again. You were nervous, checking your appearance in the mirror next to the door before you sat down on the chair. Your coat and other belongings laid on your lap, ready to go once he arrives.

4:40 hit, you only thought that he had been caught up in some tavern business, excusing it for something he can’t control.

5:00 hit you were slightly worried but still waited for him, believing he would still make it even if something came up.

By 6:00 you heard a knock on your door and thought he had finally arrived only to see Amber standing on the other side instead of Diluc. Along with her she brought a gift, she wished you a happy birthday and said that tomorrow she wanted to treat you. She started telling you about her eventful day and you were more than happy to have company after being alone all day so you happily listened, only then did Amber let it slip that she saw Jean and Diluc having dinner together at a restaurant before she left. Amber didn’t know that Diluc had made plans with you; she was only telling you because she thought you’d want to know it all. Upon hearing that the butterflies in your stomach turned to something heavy.

Amber left shortly after you thanked her for the gift and promised to meet her for lunch tomorrow. It was when you closed the door that everything hit you. Diluc had forgotten and he was having dinner with someone else. You weren’t necessarily the jealous type no, but hearing this left a bitter taste in your mouth. It would’ve been fine if it were any other day for sure, you don’t mind Diluc having dinner with others but on your birthday? Plus at the place he promised to take you out to? Not only that but Jean was someone you always felt insecure around. When you first met Diluc you thought he and Jean were dating but they both told you otherwise, laughing it off saying they were nothing more than childhood friends. Even when Diluc confessed to you, you couldn’t help but be skeptical still thinking that he and Jean were a better fit. It didn’t help that everyone else around them said the same. But Diluc’s assured you many times, he always did, that no one is a better fit for him than you. He always told you to stop saying such things. But you can’t help but wonder what if he was only telling you to stop saying it so he wouldn’t start to believe it was true as well? You felt horrible, you couldn’t help but let the feeling take over though. You respected Jean and thought of her as a good friend but when it came to Diluc you couldn’t help but see them as a better fit than you and him.

You couldn’t help but let your mind spiral. You made your way to your bedroom and sat on your bed. But despite all this, despite the feeling in your chest you had a small sliver of hope. Even after hearing that he already had dinner you still had prayed that he would come home early and at least spend some time with you. You would try to swallow the bitter taste, if he could just be here, explain, you’d understand. But hours slowly slipped by, you couldn’t bring yourself to move. Your mind only wandered too deep and made you hurt more than you already were. You felt embarrassed. Felt forgotten, felt easily replaceable.

The small rays of sunlight peeking through your window curtains were long gone. You begrudgingly lift your head to look at the time again, now reading 12:05. A defeated sigh escapes your lips, you wipe the fresh tears off your face, deciding it’s a good time to call it a night and just go to bed. You didn’t even hear him enter the house. Only when he called out your name did you realize he had finally come home. You froze.

You didn’t dare look up, turn to him, your grasp tightened around the closet door. Your bottom lip started to wobble and you had to bite down to not let a sound escape you. You already felt hurt, but Diluc clearly still hasn’t remembered, only making you feel worse.

“Did you go somewhere earlier?” Diluc breaks the silence once again, taking a few steps in, trying to get a peek of your face that he’s missed so much but you didn’t move from your spot.

You only shake your head no, the only thing you we're able to do as you knew if you were to speak up I’d give away the state you were in.

Diluc’s chest felt heavier than it’s felt all day. Why were you being so unresponsive? Did he do something wrong? You weren’t even looking at him.

“Love, did you go out today? Why are you up so late? Were you waiting for me? ” He asked and you had to hold back a bitter laugh that so desperately wanted to escape. You waited for him all day alright. All you could do was nod your head no.

“Today was actually ok at work,” He spoke up. “More tame than normal. I also grabbed lunch with Jean earlier as she invited me out, it was actually quite enjoyable. Seeing her not stress over work is very rare, though I think the knights are insufficient, seeing her work so hard makes me have some faith in them. It’s good to see her take some time off.” He tells you about his day as he removes his coat, he’s not really one to do so but he hoped it would get you to say something other than nodding your head. This time though not even a head nod was given from you, you just stood still and Diluc grew more worried.

“Y/n, why aren’t you responding to me?” Diluc asks, his concern growing even more. You still haven’t even turned around. His long legs took quick strides up to your frame, his hand reached out and brushed your arm only to feel you quickly move out of his grasp, bringing your arm around your body. Diluc only stared down at you, hurt and confused as to why you reacted in such a way.

You backed up from him, putting distance between the two of you until you felt your hip hit your bedside table, Diluc hesitantly made his way closer to you, not wanting you to recoil again.

“Y/n what’s wrong…” Dilucs voice trailed off as he caught a glimpse of a beautifully wrapped small box on your nightstand. He never gave you that. Did you buy it? Did someone else give it to you? What's inside? Ifsomeone did give it to you, who did? Diluc’s mind raced with questions but his thoughts came to a halt the uneasy feeling in his chest became far worse as he realized just what it was that he forgot. It dawned on him the more he stared at the box. The feeling of him missing something important, he couldn’t put his finger on it earlier but he remembers everything now. He remembers the plans he made with you. Your outfit now made much more sense to him, your lack of response and refusal to look at him made him realize exactly what he missed, your birthday.

“Y/n I’m so-”

“No, don’t apologize,“ You tighten your arms around your torso, feeling embarrassed as your head hung low, not wanting him to see your tears . “Excuse me, I just want to get changed and go to bed.” You try to step around him, not daring to look him in the eyes. He stood in front of you blocking your way as you uncomfortably shifted from one side to another.

Dilucs heart felt heavy; you've never moved away from his touch, you usually melt into his embrace. You weren’t letting him look at your face but he knew you were crying, hearing your small sniffles was him.

“No it’s not. Please, let me- let me make it up to you. Tomorrow! I’ll take tomorrow off! We can spend the whole day together and-“

“No need. Tomorrow I have plans with Amber. I wouldn't want to cancel at the last minute” You cut him off as you quickly wipe the fresh tears that rolled down your face. Diluc took a few hesitant steps towards you not wanting you to back away from his touch again.

He felt horrible. How could he have forgotten? Your birthday was the only birthday he ever saw as special, the only one he ever celebrated.

“Y/n I promise it slipped from my mind I didn’t-“

“At least our reservation didn’t go to waste, Jean and you went so you finally tried the restaurant you’ve been telling me about. You’ve both been working hard, you deserve it.” You force a smile on your face trying to convince yourself that it was fine but saying it aloud hurts even more than in your head.

Diluc’s usual frown made its way back into his face. His outstretched hand fell to his side as he heard what you said. He felt horrible, he brought it up without knowing because he forgot. He rubbed it in only making you feel worse without knowing.

“I’m tired, I want to go to sleep.” You sigh again. Feeling your eyes burn as you rub them again, you didn’t want to hear anything right now, your mind wasn’t in a good state and you knew he was trying to make it better but you only felt worse.

“Please. Dear, please don’t say that. Let me make it up to you, let me take you out, it wasn't my intention to leave you alone.” Diluc pleaded, as you finally looked up at him, giving him a small smile.

“No need to be sorry. I'd want to have dinner with her too if she invited me .” You let out a small laugh. Hearing him talk about her only made you hurt more, not aiding your insecure heart one bit. “Besides, my birthday is easily forgettable, it’s not a big deal.” You lie, you were trying to make yourself believe it was fine but you were hurting yourself more than you needed to.

“Hey no. Y/n stop, I'm serious. Don’t say such nonsense that isn’t true.” His eyebrows furrowed, it’s been a while since you brought this up. He knows how touchy this subject is to you. He doesn’t like when you bring yourself down or compare yourself to others. He knows you can’t help it but it hurts him to know you feel less worthy and not as important as others. In his eyes you’re his everything, but you never seem to believe him every time he tells you.

He hesitantly reaches his hand out to the side of your face gently cupping your cheek in his warm hand. You felt your eyes immediately shut but stopped your head from nuzzling into his embrace.

“I’m going to ask you something. Please tell me the truth. It’s a selfish question but I need to know the answer Diluc.” You look him in the eyes for the first time tonight. He only shook his head, gesturing to you to go on.

You take a deep breath. The question has been one you’ve wanted to ask since forever. You're afraid you know the answer to this but you still had hope, a tiny sliver of hope it might be different from what you think it is.

“If you had to choose, would you chose her or me?” You ask, letting out a breath you were holding. You look up at him with anticipation, awaiting his answer.

You felt Diluc’s hand drop from your face, you couldn’t read his facial expression as you saw his mouth form a thin line. His lips parted but nothing came out. You got your answer then and there.

A small chuckle left your lips as you stepped around him, grabbing your coat and other belongings you carried.

“I’m going to visit my mom. She invited me yesterday. I rescheduled for no reason whatsoever. Thank you for answering the question I’ve been wanting to know.” You wipe your tears as you reach for the door knob, he made no attempt to move from his spot, you didn’t even bother looking back. You left the room, making your way downstairs to the main entrance. You reach out to the door knob hand slightly trembling as you do so, but you only take in a deep breath pushing forward. If he wanted to stop me he would’ve done so already. You told yourself over and over. You gently push the door open and make your way out, waking down the dark trail that led you out of the Dawn Winery. The night breeze made your tears dry fast as it all dawned down on you. He couldn’t choose you because it was her all along.

Diluc didn’t move, he couldn’t move. His mind yelled, screamed at him to go get you as he saw you walk out the room but he was in shock. Shocked by the question you asked, by how much this tore you apart, by how this was all too much for you and you couldn’t hold on anymore. After what felt like forever, Diluc’s legs moved, starting off in slow steps, turning into a full on sprint down the staircase and out the entrance only to find zero trace of you outside, or anywhere near the winery itself, you were gone, you left, because he couldn’t answer your question. He thought it was obvious all along, he thought you already knew the answer. “It’s you.” He heaves, out of breath from running out hoping to stop you. “It’s you.” He says again, his hands slightly pulling his hair as he frantically looks around. Still no signs of you. “It’s you.” The uneasy feeling in his chest turned into guilt. Today was a very important day to him indeed. Today was your birthday, the day that he always told you was special as you believed it wasn’t. He always promised to celebrate with you no matter what, but the one year it just so happened to slip his mind, you might’ve finally slipped through his fingers.

✧ He actually needs to leave the room for a moment, or at least stand up and walk around to take a moment to process. The sheer thought of you leaving, especially by your own hands, sends his head swirling in ways he can’t even fathom. He’d take a moment to think, and then sit by your side and let out a shaky sigh before pulling you into the tightest embrace you’ve ever felt; as if he’s terrified you’ll just disappear if he lets go. If you pay real close attention, you’ll feel the barely-there tremble in his shoulders and hands while he lets out trembling breaths to stave off his own tears. Diluc’s a gentleman, refined and eloquent, but today you’ll see a side to him nobody would’ve expected; weakness.

Thoma

There's a reason why Thoma doesn't exactly drink. Being one of the rare Mondstadt citizen who can't hold his ground with a bottle or two, Thoma tries to avoid any messy scenarios as much as he can. He's the right hand man of the Commissioner, a well known fixer, and a respected housekeeper; for short, he has a reputation to keep. Needless to say, as a young adult servant, it can't be helped when his fellow co-workers would drag him out for a drinking session or two right after pay day fills their wallets.

Thoma does try to avoid messy scenarios. So when he wakes up with a terrible hangover, stumbling out of his bed only to realize the blanket on him is weighed down by something — he realizes he failed.

He stares at your sleeping form under his blankets once, twice, before rubbing his eyes to blink at you again. He's never been drunk enough to unconsciously take someone to bed before, much less his dear friend. Thinking back (albeit with a painful headache), he probably should've refused after the seventh cup of hard liquor was poured for him.

"Hng. . . Thoma? You're awake?" You mutter sleepily, pushing yourself up by your elbows. Blanket still draped around your form. "Good morning. Looks like I did stay the night, huh."

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. He's panicking now.

"Uh- a-about last night," He sheepishly starts, one hand shyly rubbing the back of his neck. Archons, his head is throbbing. Or was that his heart? He's not exactly sure.

"Hm? Oh, last night was amazing!" You giggle and his face turns a shade of red. You're his best friend. Sure, he's had a crush on you since day 1 but this was not how he visualized the start of a relationship with you. Was this even the start of a relationship? What if he's jumping into things now- Oh archons, does this mean he confessed? Did you accept his confession?

"Thoma? I asked if you're okay," You chime in, eyebrow raised questioningly.

"I- uh yes." He figures, eyes looking away, "Um are you alright? Do you need some water? I- I'll go get a towel for you, and um-"

A teasing glint sparkles in your eyes at his suggestion, "Why don't you stay for a bit and we can talk about last night," You coo and he shuffles nervously.

"Ah hahahah. . . but you must be exhausted, I should-"

"Oh you exhausted me alright. I didn't think you could go that many rounds~" You smile.

"R-rounds?"

"Yes, rounds, Thoma." He looks ashen at the fact of not remembering anything, hands clamming up to brush away his hair. "You kept saying how much you loved me too. I didn't think you could be so open like that."

"W-what? I confessed already?" He freezes, the thought of him blabbering his undying love and not remembering honestly sounds pathetic. You pause at this to stare up at him.

"What?" Now it's your turn to be confused as he gives you an incredulous look.

"Huh?"

"Thoma... I was just joking about last night." You state slowly, sitting up and allowing the blankets to fall off you. Now that it's out of the way, he can clearly see you wearing your spare clothes, albeit just the first comfortable layers; ones you've always kept in your inventory when out adventuring.

As the gears in his brain start turning, he notices that he still had his shorts on as well.

"You offered for me to stay the night, since your place is much closer than mine. And because we were both too exhausted to roll out a futon, I simply slept in your bed with you." You clarify, "I was just teasing you, since you clearly forgot, but..."

"O-oh..." He rubs the back of his neck nervously, biting his lip, "Sorry, I thought I- that we– did something." He's flushing red now, embarrassed by his own assumptions. You laugh at his expression, grabbing a pillow and shoving it to his chest playfully.

"How about we get some breakfast?" You offer, tugging his wrist to stand up with you, "And then maybe. . . we can talk about that confession, hm?"

The flustered look on his face satisfies you. It was right to keep refilling his cup last night.

Diluc

It's strange, you think.

Leaning on the balcony of Angel's Share, looking at glittering stars, you think of the man bartending a floor below you.

To the public, Diluc Ragnvindr is an illustrious young gentleman who kept everyone away at arms length. He was strict with himself, professional with his own people, and intimidating to unknowing strangers; his schedule took up most – if not all – his time; and he politely refused every clingy maiden (or young sir) thrown his way.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

The sound of boots on aging hardwood floors made their way towards you. Their heavy thumping increasing and resonating with the sound in your chest.

"Not at all, I wasn't here long." You turn to the redhead who leans on the railings next to you, gloved hand offering a wine glass of your favorite drink.

He raises an eyebrow at your comment, giving you a pointed look like he caught you in a lie, "You're shivering."

"Oh?" You didn't notice. It was so easy to ignore the cold when you were anxiously waiting for him to arrive. Now that he's here, a craving for his warmth seemed to manifest.

He takes off his coat, walking behind you to drape it over your shoulders. Though instead of returning to his place next to you, he slowly wraps his arms around the curve of your waist. Bringing your back closer to his chest, chin resting over your shoulder, he exhales a content sigh.

It's strange, you think. Diluc Ragnvindr is an illustrious young gentleman who kept everyone away at arms length yet here he was — or, here you were in his arms.

It started seven months ago.

Seven months ago, after a particularly difficult night for the bartender, he sauntered up to the second floor balcony for some fresh air only to find you, his dear old friend, doing the same. Seven months ago, you rambled on and on about the stress of your day and he grumbled about his until both your throats were dry and exhausted. Seven months ago, the stars twinkled over you as you switched your grumbles to quiet whispers of hopes and dreams, and how it's been a while since you were able to enjoy a decent conversation. You made him laugh at a dumb joke and your heart skipped a beat.

Six months ago, on the same balcony, his hand lingered on top of your resting one before pulling away.

Five months ago, your hand slipped between his fingers, intertwining themselves and it lasted a minute until a drunken customer barges out to puke over the railing.

Four months ago, on another particularly difficult day for you, he held you close as you cried on his shoulder and he didn't let go even when you started smiling.

Three weeks ago, he kissed you on a clouded night. Gently, at first, like a feather landing on grass, before pulling you in by the waist to kiss you fervently and deeply. Your back to the tavern wall, one hand on your cheek and another around your waist, your own arms behind his neck. He was adamant and impatient, never allowing you to pull away for air as if fearing it would break the precious moment.

It could have lasted forever — if not for the same drunk five months ago tumbling in to puke over the railings, again... It's been three weeks since then with the topic greatly weighing down your chest, but your conflicting schedules never seemed to align until today.

"How have you been?" He starts, choosing a safe conversation starter as if he wasn't holding you from behind and your heart wasn't beating as erratically as it did.

"...I've been alright. And you?" Your hand trails down to his own hands resting on your stomach. He starts to intertwine them — slowly. Finger by finger until your hand was completely in between his warm ones. You remind yourself to breathe.

"...The same as I've always been." He snuggles his face closer to your neck till you feel the brush on his lips. You know it's unintentional but your breath still hitches.

"I found myself missing you," you admit shyly.

"Really now? There's not much to miss," He replies, "Although... I did miss you quite a bit as well."

You find yourself at lost in continuing the conversation. After all, how do you start from idle chatter to asking him how he feels for you? Why he kissed you? Why he's holding you in ways you're certain he isn't holding anyone else in.

"You had quite a lot of admirers tonight," You comment, recalling the group of young singles who occupied the bar tonight, batting their lashes at the aloof bartender. It was a Friday evening and all the energetic ones seemed to pop out, looking for a good time in Angel's Share.

He huffs, "They're wasting their time."

"Oh? Is the most eligible bachelor of Mondstadt uninterested in the arts of courtship? Donna would be devastated," You tease and he groans, pulling you closer to him.

"You know it's not that. . ." He trails off, suddenly nervous. He's nervous about your reaction and tone, about venturing into the unknown with you when he isn't sure how well he could keep you happy by his side. You found this as your chance to bring it up.

"Then. . . could you clarify?" You ask softly, "Why are you holding me like this?"

When he doesn't respond, you pull away from his arms to face him. "So you're uninterested in courting?" You prod with a sigh, trying your best to seem more stern but it sounded more weak than anything.

"No, it's not that-"

"Then what is it?" You pout, patience running thin, "Are you. . . playing with me?" You knew this wasn't the case; not with someone as respectful as Diluc but you can't help but worry. After all, why isn't he clarifying what you have? Why is he dancing around the topic of being more than... more than whatever this is.

"No! Not at all." He rushes to correct you, hands reaching out to hold onto yours as if you'll walk away, "I- forgive me for making things more complicated than they are." He groans, hand brushing over his face.

"I do like you." He admits, "A lot."

". . .but?" You tilt your head, knowing that there's so much more he wants to say if he's hesitating like this.

". . .it scares me," He mutters faintly and you almost didn't hear.

"What?"

"It scares me. Us. I- I'm not sure how well I'll do if I- if I ask you to be with me." His expression turns pained, "My schedule isn't exactly the best and there are. . . many things we haven't talked about yet. Things I want you to know but at the same time. . ." He tries to explain and you nod as much as you could. Diluc never was good at words, much less when it involved his feelings. In the end, you sigh, squeezing his hands in yours.

"Let's try," You say, small smile on your lips, "Let's try this anyway."

The loving yet grateful look on his face tells you you picked the right words. He seems desperate yet adoring at the same time. He pulls you in again, in the same balcony under the moonlight, pressing a fervent kiss to your lips. It's soft and passionate, with a hand hot on your lower back and another on the nape of your neck. He nibbles on the plump of your lower lip, and—

*slam*

The balcony door swings open, the same drunk rushing out to puke over the railings. Diluc frustratingly considers banning him from every bar in Mond — Anemo archon or not, Venti has to stop ruining his moments.

I Love You So

Diluc Dialogue Drabble (ft. Kaeya)

about: the neglected, sickly wife trope in a contract marriage with a man that doesn't quite know how to show his love

inspired by: I Love You So - The Walters 🎵 (listen to it!!)

contains: fem!reader, unspecified illness, marriage drama, misunderstandings, old fashioned mindsets

chapter: one | two | three | four | masterlist

"How's your husband?"

"Healthy as always. He's been happier lately," You chirp, taking a sip of tea, "I think it's because of miss Lumine."

Kaeya pauses, looking up from his drink with an indecipherable expression. You ignore his stare as he slowly brings the cup to his lips to drink. "Oh yeah? She's making quite a name for herself in Mondstadt these days."

"I wouldn't be surprised: from what I heard, her combat skills are really next level. She's a beauty too! Gold eyes and blonde hair-" Kaeya cuts you off, placing his cup down.

"Heard? From who?" He asks and you tilt your head at such a question.

"From Diluc, of course. I don't exactly talk to a lot of people, being stuck in bed most days. You're lucky I'm feeling a lot better these days-"

"Diluc... Tells you about miss Lumine?" The cryo user frowns and you understand immediately where the conversation was going, "A bit shameless to talk about another woman to his neglected wife, isn't it?"

"Kaeya, don't- You know that isn't- I'm not neglected." You clench your teeth, putting your own drink down firmly with a thunk. This wasn't the first time the conversation took a turn regarding your relationship with your husband and it irked you how Kaeya always seemed to prod into it. "He's taken care of me plenty much, you know that. He's supported my career as an artist, he- he pays for all my medical bills. I'm living a life of comfort and that's more than I can ever-"

"Didn't he push aside your anniversary dinner last week?" There's a small smile on Kaeya's face that doesn't quite reach his eyes. You're aware that this might be how he shows his concern, but a part of you — a rather stubborn and prideful part — sees it as almost a mockery of your fragile relationship.

"I'm well aware that my husband is a very busy person, I can't jus-"

"Busy enough to go Abyss hunting with miss Lumine, right?"

You feel your heartstrings stretch and twist.

It hurts, it hurts.

They snap and so do you.

"I think we've had enough talk for today," You stand up, there's a tremble in your voice and knees but your face remains cold. Kaeya's expression quickly changes to a more sympathetic one as he moves to stand in front of you.

"Y/n, I care for you. You can talk to him about it."

"I'm a contract wife, Kaeya!" You glare at him, admitting the obvious truth, "I'm already a burden enough with- with everything about me," Your vision blurs as fat tears well up in your eyes. You point a finger at the Cavalry Captain.

"The least I can do is let him do as he pleases." You angrily rub at your tears, ignoring his hand that reaches out to brush them away for you. "I know my place in this marriage so please don't. Don't make me ask — or dare hope — for anything more from your brother." You leave the private establishment first, carriage waiting outside to take you back to the Dawn Winery.

"i love you."

you said softly, the atmosphere was hot, your bodies were flush together, diluc's thick cock was nuzzled deep inside your weeping cunt. your hand tangled in his pretty red hair, gently tugging on the red locks. a sweet moan slipping past your lips at the stuffed feeling.

diluc's lips traced over your neck, his slightly chapped lips making you shudder, diluc had his arms wrapped around you, keeping your body flushed against his own. his tone chest pressing against your breasts, a soft hum left your husband, he pressed a kiss on your skin, it was soft — a silent way to appreciate your body. "i love you too, darling." he replied, his voice was a bit raspy, yet love filled.

you replied with a soft whine, slowly rolling your hips upward against his own, a moan slipping past your lips feeling his cock rub against you, his veins tracing your velvety walls, making you putty below him.

diluc let out a shaky breath at the feel, your wet walls made him dizzy, delirious even, it was like a drug and he was addicted. his hips pulled back, rolling against your own in slow but hard thrusts, both of you savoring each other's body.

diluc pulled himself up, enough so he could loom over your face.

he rested on his forearms, having no problem in holding himself up due to his well built body, his crimson eyes stared into your with such adoration and love. you gave him a loving smile, that pretty smile that diluc fell in love with. he didn't know how he could survive without seeing your pretty face in the mornings when he wakes up and in the evenings before he falls asleep.

the need he had for you was unmatched, he was absolutely enamored by you, his pretty little wife. he'd do anything, he'd kill for you, live for you, and give his own life it it meant keeping you safe.

leaning down, he placed his lips against yours, you were quick to melt into his touch, your eyes slipping shut as you kissed, your hands moving to wrap around his neck wanting to feel him as close and you could possibly have him.

the kiss was truly a lovers kiss, it was filled with love yet so much fiery passion.

the two of you had been together for years now, your marriage was the talk of the city, your relationship easily seen as an example of a perfect relationship. diluc, the most well known face in the city, having such a gorgeous and loving wife at his side. the two of you were unmatched, people wanting to be in such an ideal relationship.

as the kiss progressed, diluc's hips kept pistoning against yours, his pace gathering more speed as the seconds passed, not that you minded. your moans slipping against his lips, combining with his own noises of bliss.

eventually both of your lungs started to burn, the need to breathe overcoming the two of you. pulling away from eachother, soft pants came from the two of you, but diluc kept his forehead pressed against yours, his eyes slipped shut his eyebrows furrowing together in overwhelming pleasure. you occasionally rolled your hips up to match his thrusts, your body felt warm and comfortable, his presence making you feel secure no matter the situation.

"diluc.." you whispered, you said it in a slurred tone, pleasure overwhelming your own senses. he hummed in reply, his eyes opening to look into your own.

"i want to have your baby." you spoke, that sentence making diluc shudder, a shiver going down his spine. "yeah?" he replied back, his cock throbbing at the mental image of seeing you round with his baby growing inside you, letting everyone know that your his and his only.

you nodded your head, your hands cupped his face, your hands caressing his flushed skin. "yes.. i-i want to have your baby.. please breed me, love." you moaned, you looked at him with pleading eyes, fuck. you were driving him insane, you had him perfect wrapped around your finger and if you wanted a child, he would give it to you, he would give you as many kids as your pretty little head could want.

he moved back slightly, he pulled your legs and threw them over his shoulders, adjusting his position.

your thighs pressed against his broad shoulders, he had you folded over his cock, his cock felt like it was deeper inside you, pressing up snug against your cervix.

diluc didn't take too much time before ramming his hips against your own, making you cry out in ecstasy, your cunt was wrapped around his cock nicely, milking his cock for his cum and it was working.

one of his hands came down to your cunt, his fingers toying with your unattended clit, the feeling of his fingers on your clit had you sobbing. his cock being shoved in and out of you didn't help the overwhelming pleasure you felt.

your hands gripped the bedsheets, mewls and moans slipping past your lips effortlessly, you gasped his name out desperately; slipping past your lips like a prayer. diluc let out some moans, your cunt was so wet around him, his balls slapping against your behind, your slick was drooling over his cock. the slick having made a mess around his pubic bone too, not to mention how it was dripping down your thighs.

"i'm.. ngh — c-close—" diluc stuttered, stumbling over his words in a pussy drunk haze, his eyes rolled back in pure bliss, he swallowed thickly feeling your walls flutter around him. you were moaning out like a whore, your breasts bouncing up and down at his thrusts, your head was facing the side. your nails were digging into the soft cotton of the bedsheets.

you barely had time to tell him how fucking close you were, his fingers were still toying with your puffy clit, making your body feel feverish, he was going to make sure his little wife came before him, he wanted to see you break under him before he could stuff his thick cum inside you.

a sharp broken sob left your lips as your back arched, your climax washing over you so wonderfully, you were practically left drooling under him. small tears built up in your eyes at the overwhelming wave of pleasure that hit you. your cunt had gotten so tight and slick, diluc had watched you unravel like he was starved.

seeing you break under him in such a way made pushed him closer to his climax, the primal need to shove his cock as deep as you could take before stuffing you nice and good was intense.

diluc moved his hand away from your clit, letting it rest on the bed to have more stability, his other hand moved — he took a hold of your hand, his fingers intertwining with yours before he squeezed your hand, another non-verbal way to expressing his love towards you. "i'm gonna cum, d—darling, m'going to stuff you nice and good, okay? make sure you get nice and round for me, yeah? that's what you wanted right?" diluc babbled, his words slurred and strained, his words made you mewl, nodding your head but not being able to form a proper sentence, all you could so was let out a small broken 'yes' and multiple pleas for his cum.

such a needy girl, so needy for his cum, it's alright through, he would so anything to please you.

finally, his cock shoved deep inside you, he put his body weight on top of you, his cock throbbed before heavy spurts of thick cum coated your walls. leaving you nice and stuffed.

after the initial high relaxed, diluc laid beside you, but he left his cock snug inside your stuffed cunt, making sure to not waste any of his cum. he pressed small kisses on your skin, sweet praises leaving his lips, making sure that you were okay.

your eyes slipped shut and you nuzzled into your husband's hold, his toned and scarred arms holding you nice and flush against his chest, sharing your body heat.

Masterlist

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

It wasn't even 2 hours later that the tavern had opened or it was already going down. With everyone chugging beers, cheering and dancing, there was no peace found.  It had been like that for a few nights, the guy never arriving home when you were awake.. You two managed to miss each other quite often.

And for this exact reason, you decided to visit him on the shift. The door softly creaked open and a set of curious eyes looked inside, seeing partying people and warm yellow light emitting from the room, nobody managed to notice you sneaking by. In a few seconds you were at the bar, the barista about to ask for your preference of the night.

'Welcome to the Angel's share. What will it b-' As he looked up from the glasses, there was an element of surprise to his face. 'My finest wine for the finest (lady/sir) will it be than.' He said, the usually stern look he carried while going through his shifts turned into a soft smile. 'How's the night treating you love?' You questioned, sitting on the bar stool and stared at his features. 'Busy.. It's extremely busy. But I can survive..' He replied painfully, placing the glass in front of you and poured in the wine. 'I'm glad to hear that you're not getting killed Diluc..' You answered with a breathtaking smile. He eventually looked up at you after a while of no movements or words from you and raised an eyebrow. 'What's wrong?'

You blinked a few times to break out of your stare, a blush settling on your cheeks. 'Ah, can't I just stare at my handsome boyfriend doing his work perfectly fine?'  You replied teasingly, a smirk appearing on your face after a while. Diluc sighed deeply, a certain sharpness to his eyes.

'Sooo, you're going to play this game right now?' He answered grinning, you took a sip of wine but never broke eye contact with him. 'Mhmm.' You replied after, a short chuckle escaping your mouth.

'Heyyy! Chef..' An arm was wrapped around your shoulder out of nowhere, the sudden surprise was found on your face, Diluc raised his eyebrows dangerously. 'What..?' He replied blunt, you gestured for him to calm down a bit. 'Mind.. Giving me another glass! Heh!' The man requested with the broadest smile on his face ever. His breath smelled like alcohol, almost making you puke..  It was so bad-.

'Sure..' Diluc brought out bitterly, though he actually wished that the guy would fuck off out of his bar. As he poured another round, the man made sure to make some small talk with you.

'Ah.. Has somebody already told you howehh.. Stunnin' you loowk..' With hardly any movement you just stared straight ahead of yourself, ignoring the pervert as you continued sipping your wine. 'Didn't you hear me... Do I need to whisper it in your eaaaar...' And he really did move closer to your ear with his filthy mouth, and no way you appreciated that. A sudden uncomfortableness hit you, your eyebrows slightly furrowed. Every second you could feel Diluc's flames growing bigger and bigger, and so did his rage.

'Could you get off me..' You would start off nice..

But the man ignored your request, thinking it was a game and all. 'Ah! Baby.. Don't be too shy heh..' Your eyelid flinched.. your fingers impatiently tapping the top of the bar, the glass of wine about to be thrown into the man's face.. But Diluc managed to place his hand on top of yours to calm you down this time.. And to prevent that scenario, though how bad he wanted to see it happen..

'Hmm, love, should I kick him out? He's laying his hands on my precious spouse..' He said, loud and clear enough for the man to hear. A blush painted your cheeks, the title 'spouse' making you feel a lot of things at the same time. The man, on the contrary, was a bit sobered up.. Because nobody wanted to have an angry Diluc chasing their ass down.. Nobody..

The man immediately swung his arm off your shoulders and walked away, your hand slowly calming down and resisting the urge to spill your drink on the man. Diluc sighed.

'If I see that cunt's arm around your shoulder again, I'll burn it to crisps..' He muttered angry, you pushed a strand of hair behind your ear. '... I'm okay, don't stress too much about it..' You brought out tiresome. '... Still, that rat touched you..' He snarled, glaring at the man who was currently sitting with his friends.

'... Hm fair..' There were no more words shared between you two, and once Diluc noticed the silence, he once again looked up at you in front of him. 'What's it this time dear?' He asked, you smiled shyly. 'Its just.. You're so hot when you get angry.. And I find it a very heartwarming feeling when you do this stuff...~' You grinned stupidly in love, almost as if hearts were flying off you.. You were just looking at him doing his thing. With every little movement he made, you just wanted him to absolutely..

...

Dominate you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Diluc already realized the pure lust you were radiating.. And he would play the exact same game. As you took another sip of wine, youactually stood up from the chair, notifying the both of you of your great height difference.

'Since they're pretty drunk now...' You begun, leaning on the bar, Diluc sighed. 'Hmm...' He replied, a quick glance to the clock.

How was it already 1 am? Well, it didn't really mattered anyways.. 'Can't you leave the shift for one of your workers.. You should be at the Dawn Winery in the first place...~' You offered, grabbing the cup and turned your back to the man. 'Hmm.. Sounds tempting..' He hesitated for a second, but called over another man to take over his shift. Entrusting him to the process of making sure the bar would close at a decent time and the place would be left all tidy and clean, how he liked it.

...

With quite a firm grip you held his tie in in her hands, fiercely kissing the man as you grinded on his lap. 'Mhmmm..' He groaned under his breath, his hand tracing down your body and squeezing your ass once in a while. You released, a string of saliva connecting the two of you.

'Its such a turn on when you call me your spouse..' You whispered, pressing a kiss in his neck. Indeed, you mostly liked to be dominated.. But this time, you also felt like taking the ropes.. But Diluc was determined to swap the roles soon enough. 'So that's it..' He mumbled, grabbing your hips with both his hands, sitting back a bit in his chair to make it you more easier. 'You don't know how hot that was..' You mumbled, a smug grin found on your face, your lips finding each other again. This was the moment Diluc took his chance, lifting you up very easily, bringing you to the bed and gently placing you down.

As your lips separated, he took a minute to stare at the beautiful figure laying all dangerously vulnerable before him.. Tempted to rip all clothes off. 'Look at you.. Dammit, such a hot mess.' He mumbled, his hands making his way to your chest.. Easily ripping the shirt apart that you were wearing. Your face told him you were quite startled by his sudden action, but he gave you a sharp look.. Making sure you wouldn't question anything about it..

You kept your silence, but the amount of excitement that rushed through your body when his fingers trailed down your bare skin wasn't easy to ignore. 'Diluc...' You moaned, the first moan of the night was shared.. And it wasn't going to be the only one, that was for sure. Diluc looked you straight in the eyes, his hand resting on your hip. The fire in his eyes made you completely melt..  You lips shiny pink and separated, tempting even more.

'F-Fuck me.. Like I'm your spouse already..' He could only stare to your lips, all puffy and wet.. The next thing he noticed was the red color that dusted your cheeks.. Next your beautiful glittering eyes. It was as if he was falling in love all again, a stupid smile settling on his face.

'When did I ever hold back.. Hm?' He brought out, his hand slowly traversing towards your neck..  His fingers getting wrapped around it like a trophy. All his, weren't you?~

Hey bestie may I request diluc,childe,zhongli,and venti having a bad nightmare over their s/o wanting to break up with them and when they wake up their s/o isn’t there but really they’re in another room or something if that makes sense!! Thank you 🤑

Hi bestie positively evil... i love it <3 nobody question why zhongli and the reader are married in all my headcanons thanks lmao

Pairings; (Seperate) Diluc, Childe, Zhongli, and Venti x reader

Warning(s); panic, nightmares, hurt/comfort, injury mention

Keep reading under the cut!

Diluc

Diluc wakes with a start, his brows furrowed as he takes a moment to arrange the events of his nightmare in his head

Both you and he had a particularly explosive argument after he had come back injured from a night protecting Mondstat 

You had left the winery after exclaiming that you refuse to date someone who has such a lack of regard for his own life. In the long run you’d be saving yourself from further heartbreak if he ended up dead on the front porch

Diluc wonders if dream you could be right...

The red-head finally notices the cold side of the bed you should be sleeping on. He more than remembers going to sleep with you

Panic sets in at the bottom of Dilucs stomach. He must be imagining things right? You’re probably just in the bathroom

A beat passes

Then three

No, you’re not in the bathroom. He would have heard you by now...

What if the dream was actually what had happened last night. A breath catches in the mans throat as he gets out of bed and throws a shirt on

If he couldn’t find you in his home has he truly lost you?

Diluc speedily walks through the halls of his home, checking the spare rooms, the study, the library, the living room, the dining room, the

Diluc opens the door to the kitchen his heart threatening to break out of his chest at the pace it’s beating when he finally spots you drinking a cup of tea, in your pajamas

Thank the archons it was just a dream

“Diluc, honey, are you okay?” you ask getting up from the table in the kitchen to your sweating, hyperventilating partner

Diluc says nothing but opts to hugging you, his head bowing to your chest as he breaths you in

“Diluc, you’re worrying me” you tell him returning his embrace and rubbing circles on his back

“You weren’t in bed” is all he offers to tell you. You don’t push him on the details of why he is so panicked

“I couldn’t sleep so I came down for a herbal tea” you explain kissing the man on his bed of fluffy hair “I have a cup left in the kettle, I can pour one out for you” you offer

“Please” he breathes, but doesn’t move to let you go from the embrace, you can stand to hold him and tell him sweet nothings for a little while. Tea can always be reheated

Childe

It would only be right, and he suspected as much. You had told him that because of what has recently transpired in Liyue you cannot find yourself to love a brutal harbinger

Maybe its for the best. Childe concludes not paying much attention to his weeping heart. Maybe, you’d be happier not to be under the constant eye and scrutiny of the Qixing, the Milleth, and the watchful eye of Childes own fatui informants

Without much pause form Childes last thought the man finds himself waking in his room, unsure if the dream was reality or his mind playing tricks on him, he feels your side of the bed and notices a distinct lack of warmth... and you

He cries

Childe curls himself up in a ball determined to not get caught by anyone showing such an extreme and out of character emotion, he let himself cry. He’s pretty sure he’s sobbing loudly but he doesn’t care. It’s just him in the house anyway. The one person that he doesn’t mind seeing such emotions has left him

That’s until he hears the distinct click of the bedroom door open “Oh my archon Childe, are you okay?” you ask quickly making your way to the side of his bed and placing a hand on his shoulder

The man looks up to you, he isn’t sure if you’re real 

“I thought-” he starts “I had a-” he tries to find his words without seeming like a crazed person “You weren’t-” 

“It’s okay babe, I’m right here. I’m not planning on going anywhere” you console “I just had an epiphany in my dream and I had to write it down” you add explaining your absence. Childe nods along 

“Stay” he tells you as you wipe the tears out of his eyes. You nod and hum

“Of course” you lay onto the bed and let Childe wrap himself around you

You hum him to sleep and whisper sweet nothings

Zhongli

‘I can’t love you anymore Zhongli, I feel obligated to come back to Liyue after every adventure, it’s starting to take a toll on me’

‘But our vows, [name] we made a contract at the altar’

‘To love each other, yes? Zhongli there’s no love left in this marriage, you sleep in the spare bedroom whenever I’m back, we sit in silence over dinner, I don’t think I’ve kissed you in months. The lack of love itself is the breach in the contract’

‘But I-’

‘Think about it, do you really feel the same love that you felt on the day we got married?’

‘[name]-’

Zhongli wakes up with a start, his heart beats a little fast for a second. The man convinces himself it’s just a dream he had, but the coldness of your side of the bed seems to speak otherwise

In all fairness, Zhongli should have rationalised his dream before he started wondering the house like a mad man. The only time he sleeps in the other bed is when you’ve suffered an extreme injury, dinners are often spent with jolly laughs and conversation. And Zhongli prides himself on the amount of affection he gives you around the house... and in the bedroom

But most things aren’t making sense in his head right now

“Zhongli my love” you call him upon noticing him in the hall. You had just come out of the bathroom after a midnight toilet break “Are you okay darling?” you ask placing a hand on his shoulder

The tenseness in Zhongli’s shoulders dissipate as soon as you initiate the touch

“I love you” he tells you, the declaration is out of nowhere to you. But you smile at him and embrace him

“And I love you too” you pause bringing up your hand baring the ring that sits on it “And this ring is a reminder of our vows and my unyielding love to you” you tell him with a smile

Zhongli chuckles at you and returns your hug “You seem to always know how to comfort me my dear”

“It’s because I’m a mind reader” you jest matching your spouses chuckle

Venti

Disappeared. So much so that the thousand winds could tell Venti that you were in fact not in Mondstat and had travelled to Liyue from the time Venti was playing music in the tavern to when he knocked for you early the next morning

The only trace you left was a letter. Unmistakeably written by your hand

‘Venti, writing this in a letter is much easier than saying this to your face. I am quite simply tired of your antics, no matter try to talk to you, you seem to always brush me off. Be it the nights you spend at the tavern, my general concern when you disappear for days at end just to tell me you were at the thousand winds temple, stormterrors lair, or windrise, no matter how much I tell you I checked all three. Being in a constant state of concern isn’t good for me, it’s emotionally draining and I’m terrified of finding you dead somewhere, despite your archon blood. By the time you read this I’ll be in Liyue where I’ll be staying with a friend for a while. Tell me I’m going somewhere you can’t follow, and I’ll tell you this is how I have felt many a night. I wish I could have kept loving you, [name]’

A harsh way to break up Venti admits to himself rereading the paper a few times before waking up

A dream?

Venti holds his chest, surely a dream couldn’t conjure such a horrific sinking feeling that makes him want to just vomit

Looking to your side of the bed for your comfort the sinking feeling intensifies when he doesn’t see you

So it wasn’t a dream? Venti doesn’t want to call on his kin, the thousand winds, again just to be told once more that you’re currently in Liyue sipping tea with this cousin you had mentioned in the letter 

The archon sits up in bed and takes deep breaths, he doesn’t want to explain to anybody that he had a panic attack over your horrific breakup letter, no no

After calming his breaths Venti steps out of bed with a shaky few steps before walking downstairs to engage in the typical breakout routine. Snacking. Maybe when you left you had elected to ignore some of the snacks you love to litter about your abode

When Venti walks in to the living room towards the kitchen he sees you nursing your head on the couch

“[name]?” he asks in almost disbelief

“Hm,” you answer before looking up to Venti “Oh hey love, sorry I’ve got a headache” you greet properly after a moment. Venti grins at you which causes you to tilt your head. Why is your headache so grin worthy? Weird...

“Would you like some paracetamol?” he asks walking beside you, you shake your head

“I just took some” you reply looking up at your partner “Though I’d love to rest my head on your thighs” you add. Venti more then obliges and settles down on the couch

“You know I had the strangest dream” Venti tells you after a prolonged amount of silence, you hum to let him know you’re listening “You left me” he says bluntly

Oh

Damn

You bring yourself up to Venti’s face with a smile and give him a kiss “I love you Venti, I wouldn’t leave you for even the prettiest lyre” you half console half jest

“That’s because the prettiest lyre is mine” Venti chuckles and you nod pressing another kiss to Venti’s lips

✧ Why do people hurt you like this? How can someone so altruistic and kind receive nothing after giving so much? He’s completely baffled, watching you help person after person with that beautiful but forced smile when they leave without giving you more than a glance. It doesn’t take him very long to figure out just why you’ve been so tired and isolated as of late, distancing yourself without meaning to as your head drowned in swirling depths of insecurities and grief. At this point, Childe wouldn’t even bother to try and use his coy flirtations or overexaggerated cheerfulness to try and make you smile again- no, you deserve better than that. You deserve more than the happiness you’ve given out and away so willingly.

"I know this is strange... and you can totally say no, but-" "Sure!" the ginger haired boy replied in earnest. You immediately fell to silence. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that? I think I misheard you." "I said sure," he repeated with a slight chuckle, flashing you that warm smile that always gave you butterflies. It felt like you had played this scene out in your head a thousand times, and no matter what outcome you had imagined, this was beyond your imagination, completely surreal and unexpected. "You're not just saying all of this to mess with me, right? You're for real right now?" "Ya, of course I am," Childe told you as the two of you traversed the harbor. Childe had been a long time friend of yours, one of the only faces you recognized when you first arrived in Liyue all the way from Shneznaya. You had never gotten the chance to get close to him back home, but he always had a little piece of your heart, so when you found him at the harbor, you immediately gravitated toward him. As it turned out, he was just as happy to see an old face as you and you started hanging out. Today, Childe had invited you out to the farmer's market happening in the harbor. He said he wanted to cook something for you and needed your help picking out ingredients, and you figured if you're eating dinner at his place anyway... "Thank you," you beamed, eyes sparkling like you won the lottery. "Of course," he answered casually. "I mean, it's just sex. No biggie." Oh. You felt something inside you shatter, and suddenly all that excitement and accomplishment you felt had died. You should've known it was all too good to be true, you thought. Just sex? You'd been working up the courage to ask him for weeks, not to mention the years you spent pining over him. It was certainly much more to you than "just sex". But you continued onward with him to the port anyway, stalls aligned across the edges of a pier. "So," Childe exclaimed, basking in the midday sunlight. "Where should we stop first? I see... jueyun chilis, always a welcome hint of spice. Or we could grab some lotus heads, a nice refreshing taste, huh?" "Ya, sounds great," you droned. The way Childe smiled, warm and welcoming, now only seemed to leave you with a bittersweet taste in your mouth. This was as genuine as you would ever find Ajax, the only time you could call him by that name without a brutal sense of imposter syndrome cracking down on you, and here he was, responding to you offering your heart and soul to him with "no biggie". "So which is it gonna be?" Childe continued, smile ever bright and shining. "I'm sorry, what?" "Which is it gonna be? Chilis or lotus heads? We don't have all day," he chimed. "Oh, by the way. Are you expecting like candles, a bouquet or anything, or would you rather skip the casualties and get to the good part?" You nearly spit on the water you had been chugging on as a sort of coping mechanism. "Excuse me?" "I mean, it's no big deal either way, I just don't wanna do anything you don't wanna do, you know? So if you want me to buy lanterns and a dozen silk flowers, I will, but I also don't wanna go overboard." You pressed your hands against your temples, a feeling of stress and humiliation washing over you. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, placing his hands on your shoulders which you defensively swatted away from you, eyes stinging with incoming tears. "I- I need a minute," you told him, rushing to the edge of the pier where a single lonely bench sat. The reality of the situation became hard to avoid when Childe started talking about your virginity like it was a chore. You didn't expect it to go like a dream, but this was far from what you wanted. You didn't want this as a friend asking for a solid. You loved him. You loved him so much it hurt sometimes, and as his tall but slender figure sat down next to you, you felt yourself shrivel in his presence, not really sure what to think or feel.

He seemed to hunch over the edge, his hands folded and pressed up against his forehead.

"I... I'm not sure what this is about, but you know you can talk to me about anything." "Ajax," you replied, dodging his gaze like your life depended on it. "Forget what I asked earlier." He seemed to pause in slight hesitation but agreeably nod soon after. "Okay. If that's what you want." "It is," you asserted, silence falling onto both of you. Tension and awkward silence were not the kind of situations Ajax excelled in. It had always made him uncomfortable, too uncomfortable, and you knew that fact about him even before he left the country. It didn't take long for him to interject to disrupt it once again. "You know, maybe it's just my imagination, but I have a slight inkling that... this isn't actually what you want. Am I crazy?" he asked, so painfully genuine in asking. You let out a sigh, releasing the unbearable tension that had built up in your chest. “I didn’t expect you to think of this as such a casual thing,” you said. “Oh,” he replied, seemingly relieved. “Well, like I said, if you want me to-“ “It’s not about what I want.” Childe perplexed, head tilted like an innocent little puppy. “Well… then what is this about?” You began to ferociously shake your head in frustration. “What do you want, Ajax? Tell me that.” “I… I want you to be happy and comfortable-“ “I said it’s not about what I want. What do you want?” You interrupted once again, patience running thin. “Answer me.” “I just said it, didn’t I?” He questioned defensively. “I don’t know what else you want me to say.” “Are you an idiot?” “What? What did I do??” “Ajax,” you projected. “What about me?” His eyes only seemed to grow further into confusion, breaths deepening as he attempted to remain levelheaded. “What about you?” He repeated back to you in defeated tones. That’s when the tears began to fall, no longer able to maintain the storm of frustration and betrayal you felt inside as you sobbed in front of him. “What about me?!” You repeated back sharply. “Childe, do you even want me? Did you want me when you agreed to this.” “What? Of course I do!” He reassured you, defensive but seemingly honest, as if it shouldn't have even needed to be said aloud. “Then why is this not as big of a deal to you as it is to me??” You pleaded with him at the end of your ropes. Something about that question seemed to remove the light from Childe’s eyes, a gloom hazing over them as he ceased to stare at you, and instead at all the stalls that lined the harbor. “You know, I’m not a virgin,” he said. “There’s nothing I can do to change that.” You instinctively rolled your eyes at his obvious comment. “Ya, no shit,” you replied. “Your point?” “My point is… I could sit here and pretend I’m nervous like a little school boy and that the idea of having sex gives me feel all warm and fuzzy, but the reality is that kid is long gone. Part of me even wishes I could, but just wouldn’t be the truth, and if I owe you anything…” “Then why agree to have sex with me if it’s not going to be special to you?” “I never said it wasn’t,” he insisted. “Really?” You questioned him. “You said, and I quote, it’s just sex.” “And I stand by that,” Ajax replied once again. “To me, it is just sex. It doesn’t mean all that much to me anymore, but you know what does?” Childe stared back up at you with hope in his eyes and the tinge of rose on his cheeks. “What?” You asked him reluctantly. He smiled. “You. You mean something to me,” Childe hopelessly declared. You felt your heart flutter but quickly suppressed it, not wanting your feelings to cloud your judgement. “That’s a cute line,” you answered back. “You say that to every girl you hook up with.” “No,” he said. “Only the one I love.” His tone, smooth as butter, nearly sent you flying above the shore line. You were dreaming surely, you thought, but as Childe touched your hand gently, wrapping it around yours in a gentle comfort, you saw the reality of what you were witnessing. Ajax, smiling like a kid with candy, telling you he loved you.

“What I want is irrelevant,” he said. “I want to do this the way you want, whether that’s a horse drawn carriage or a hotel room in Wangshu Inn. I can’t have that special first time, but you…” “Ajax,” you stopped him, grasping back onto his hand joyfully in response. “The only special first time I want is one that happens with you,” you beamed, eyes sparkling from the clearing of tears that had finally finished dropping. Childe chuckled, face alight like you had never seen it before. He removed his hand from yours just after planting a gentle kiss on your skin, eying a nearby stall that was only a couple yards away. “I’ll be right back,” he said before walking toward the salesmen with a smile painted pridefully across his face. “A dozen of your finest silk flowers, please.”

Arataki Itto

The self proclaimed "Oni King" had the usual dumbfounded look on his face after you finally asked the question. His blood red eyes had shot wide open and a dopey smile smeared across his face, the one that really got under your skin. He was looking at you with that same look he gave you after challenging you to his silly games- no, it was more specific than that. You could tell by the gleam in his eyes, by the instant doubt and annoyance that overcame you as you noticed, that to him... he already won.

He took a brief moment to clear his throat, trying to contain the all too obvious excitement that had already overtaken him before turning back to you with smoldering cartoonish eyes. He was so terrible at flirting, you would've laughed your ass off if it hadn't been you that started it. "Well since a.. beautiful lady like yourself is asking so nicely, I-"

"I knew I shouldn't have asked you."'

The overconfident smile immediately dropped from the Oni's face, his shoulders slumping to his sides. "What?! What did I even do wrong?!"

"Everything," you answered bluntly, eyes of steel piercing through his weak heart. "Itto, I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person to tell you this, but you're cockiness really makes my blood boil."

He rolled his eyes and scoffed casually, a fisted hand pounding into his chest to represent his hurt. "Ouch. Well, if I make your blood boil so much, why would you even ask me that in the first place?"

"You know, I'm starting to question that myself as well."

The Oni's eyes seemed to darken further, the sense of disappointment and defeat sinking into him like stones. It wasn't like he was mad or on the verge of tears or anything like that. He just seemed... bummed and pathetic. It didn't take long for that small glimmer to return to those scarlet eyes, though. Arataki Itto, as most of Inazuma knew by now, was not one to accept defeat so willingly if there was the slightest chance of victory.

"Is it my hair?" he asked with a curious head tilt, the corner of his lips crawling up his face in a flirtatious smirk.

You looked at him unamused. "Your... hair? You think I asked you... because of your hair."

"Well, why not? I have fantastic hair, you know" he boasted, taking his stupid comb from his pocket and brushing it back pompously.

You snatched the comb from his hand impatiently and held it before him, snapping it in half with delicate fingers and dropping it to the ground.

Itto let out a sign of unsurprised disappointment. "You owe me a comb... again."

"I wouldn't keep breaking them if you wouldn't keep talking about your stupid hair, you stupid Oni!"

"Okay, fine! Fine... It wasn't my hair," He mumbled. "No one appreciates my hair-"

"Enough about the hair!"

"Ya, ya..." Itto groaned. "Okay, so if it's not my hair, then I bet it's my rippling muscles."

Your face drooped into a dead, not entertained stare that felt like it was beginning to cement on your face.

Itto nodded in acknowledgment, knowing well he wouldn't be needing a verbal answer. "Oh! Oh! I got it!"

"I'm sure you do," you droned skeptically.

"It's definitely gotta be my Oni markings!" He insisted, arms spread wide to show the extent of the red lines that ran up and down his body. "They're pretty badass, right?"

"You're an idiot," you answered him.

"I prefer the term hot mess, thank you very much."

"I'll stick to idiot," you assured him.

"Understood."

Itto's expression seemed to grow and intensify in confusion, trying desperately to read the archive of his mind for the correct answer.

"Is it my claws?"

"No."

"The eyeliner?"

"No."

"Is it because of Ushi?"

"Why would I want to sleep with you because of your pet?"

"Oh, I get it! You're just into the bad boy types, aren't you."

"Not really."

"Am I even getting close here?"

"Not at all."

The Oni flopped down on the grass dramatically, sprawling over the ground in exhaustion. You could practically see the smoke coming out of his ears. Itto was a lot of things. Smart was definitely not one of them, but if you'd learned anything about the crimson oni in your time knowing, it was that he was a lot more than meets the eye.

You let out a slightly annoyed sigh. "Itto, you know this is important to me, right? It's not some game or challenges. This is... all of me."

"Of course I know that," he concurred in a moment of rare calmness for the Oni. "Don't get me wrong, I'm beyond flattered you would trust me like that, but- well, I don't get it."

"You don't get a lot of things, oni. You're gonna have to be more specific," you joked.

He released a stifled breath. "You're telling me that of all the people Inazuma, you choose me. Why?"

"Because of your hair, rippling muscles, and oni markings, clearly-"

"Alright, alright," he interrupted. "I see what you did there, but seriously."

"I wasn't aware I needed to stroke your ego before-"

"This isn't about my ego," Itto quickly shut down the idea.

You turned to him once again, dropping the antics and noticing the dull look in his eyes. He looked unusually bothered by something, which gravely concerned you. "Could you... tell me why you want to know first?" you asked hesitantly.

He shook his head, a bitter smile momentarily growing across his face before fading back. "It's stupid. It's nothing you need to bother yourself with-"

"There's nothing you need to be ashamed of with me," you assured the oni. "You can trust me."

"I do trust you, that's kind of the problem," he told you, a growing frustration and hopelessness arising from him.

Your eyes furrowed in confusion. "I don't follow," you answered him back.

Itto's head seemed to tilt back so far on the grass he seemed to be trying to bury himself in it. "When I was a kid, the only time pretty girls would come near me was on dares from their friends, then they'd run away screaming without letting me say a word. I only got asked out so I could be made fun of later, but when I grew up I got a lot more romantic attention from people, if you wanna call that. Most of the time, though, when they wanted to be intimate, it was so they could brag about being with a hot-blooded oni. I've... trusted a lot of people with all of me, trying to find someone who actually wanted all of me, but there was always an ulterior motive. I care way too much about you. I want to give you this so bad, but I seriously need to know that it's nothing like-"

"Itto..." you murmured under your breath before sitting yourself next to him on the grass. "Oni, I'm so sorry that all happened you. I- I had no idea-"

"It's okay, Y/N. Really!" he reassured you, falling to silence as small prickles of water developed on his lower lids.

You connected your delicate fingers to Itto's face and wiped away the falling droplets. "I should've been honest with you from the start, but sometimes it's hard to get through to such a hardheaded oni."

"Ya, sorry I wouldn't stop talking about my hair," he chuckled, a tired defeat underlying in his tone.

"It's okay," you told him. "Just know I'm not here for your big dumb hair, Itto. I'm here for your big dumb heart. The biggest, dumbest, heartiest heart in all of Inazuma."

Itto let out a bellowing chuckle. "You've been dogging on me all day and that's your best pick up line?! Seriously?!"

"Wha- hey, I'm putting my pride on the line for you here, you stupid oni!" you shot back.

"Oh come on!" Itto scoffed. "My big dumb heart? You really expect me to buy into that one?"

"Excuse me!" you exasperated. "Are you trying to suggest I'm lying?! I resent the accusation."

"And I resent the accusation that my heart is big and dumb," Itto answered back, arms folded and face turned stubbornly away from you.

"Well, my bad, but I'll have you know I love that big dumb heart and everything about the oni that comes with-"

You halted in realization of what you just said, the grassy plain you and the oni laid across growing silent. The only sound that remained was the whistling of wind and rustling of tree branches, but all you could hear was the steady pounding of your heart. You weren't ashamed of Itto, how you fell for the charms most people never stuck around him long enough to see. Still, the sudden confession seemed to surprise you more than him, how the words just slipped out of your mouth effortlessly.

"Everything?" Itto interrupted the silence.

"Y-yes, I believe I said that."

There was a low toned chuckle that escaped the oni and a devious smirk that followed as he eyed you playfully. "So what I'm hearing is... you do like my hair!"

You palmed your forehead in disappointment, head shaking ferociously as you laughed in disbelief. "You know, now that I think about it, Kujou Sara is a very beautiful woman-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence," he scolded before returning back to his regular carefree antics.

Diluc

Diluc Ragnvindr... such a cold and serious man on the surface, the foremost business tycoon of the Mondstadt wine industry, arguably the most powerful man in the city, both on the social ladder and in raw physicality. You'd initially written him off as too intimidating to even consider asking, despite the fact you'd known him since childhood. Had you ever had any chance with him back then, you were certain you'd lost it when you left Mondstadt to travel the world. Of course, you also figured your feelings would fade with the distance, and boy were you proven wrong.

"Can I get you something to drink?" Diluc asked casually from behind the Angel's Share bar.

You jumped, breaking your thoughtless staring. "I- uh... glass of dandelion wine?"

He nodded and turned his back to pour you a glass, and you were about ready to start screaming and throwing things in the corner of that bar you were so frustrated with yourself, but you contained the urge, all while continuing to feel stupid simply for sitting there, hoping for a miraculous yes should you even work up the courage to ask. Diluc Ragnvindr was the most eligible bachelor in all of Mondstadt, and you felt pathetic letting yourself become as desperate as the hundreds of other girls pining for him.

It didn't take long for Diluc to turn back around and gently place a slightly overfilled glass of wine in front of you. "Is something bothering you?" he asked as he grabbed a couple glasses and a rag and to clean to keep his hands busy.

"N-no, what makes you think that?"

He gave you a stare of suspicion. "You're sitting at my bar... alone. What do you think?"

The comment immediately had you shriveling up in embarrassment before him. He had a point. Nothing reeked more of desperation than going to a bar alone. You reached for the glass begrudgingly, knowing well that was the only answer Diluc needed as he nodded in understanding.

He proceeded to get called over by other patrons and you felt yourself on the verge of collapse, fingernails digging into the finished wood of Diluc's pristine bar, lurching for your glass and taking a large gulp of the wine before the bartender of the night could turn back around to see you. In retrospect, you may as well have just downed it right in front of him. Diluc was anything but blind after all. When he did turn back to face you, he saw the already half empty glass and took a mental note to keep an extra careful eye on you that night. Diluc did know you after all, all too well at times. Some would call you friends, though claiming you as such was a string of words that seemed to get stuck in his throat for some reason. Regardless he had no intention of letting you stumble out of his bar and into a bad situation, and you knew that as well, that despite Diluc's tough exterior he was a gentleman. You trusted him. You wouldn't have been at his bar for the reasons you were otherwise.

He came back to the empty glasses in front of you, running an old rag across them until they shined with a vitreous luster, trading looks with you when your eyes would meet and you'd nervously pull away from his gaze. "Are you enjoying it? Being back in Mondstadt, I mean," he asked, trying to break the ice as you only exacerbated the awkward tension.

"Yeah, definitely," you confirmed. "Traveling is great and all, but... I have loose ends I've been meaning to tie up here."

Diluc nodded understandingly at the notion. "I understand. Traveling can be such a nuisance when you can't shake that feeling you've forgotten something back home," he concluded. "I assume it must've been something pretty big, though. You seemed quite determined to leave."

You sighed. "I thought if I got far enough from it I'd just forget eventually."

"Well, when you try hard to forget things like that it only forces you to think about-"

"Think about them more," you interrupted him. "I know, Diluc. Believe me. I know that now," you told him, one hand pressed against your forehead and the other wrapped around your wine glass.

"Am I to assume then you're here in hopes that the wine might aid you in forgetting?" Diluc questioned you further.

You were near close to slamming your head into the bar's surface in the pent of frustration and awkwardness this conversation was causing. "I don't think the wine is quite going to help me forget this one," you told him with a tensed jaw.

The air Diluc carried seemed to slightly shift toward curiosity. "Is that so?" he asked, before looking around at the rest of his patrons with suspicious darting eyes before leaning into you ear. "You know, most people come to my bar thinking wine will solve all their problems, but the funny thing is the only problem it solves is making sure I never leave here with empty pockets. People leave the Angel's Share disappointed with themselves all the time, but they always seem to come back. Isn't that strange?" He whispered, a titled half smile prominently spread across his face.

There was a moment as Diluc pulled away from you, your face bright red from the unexpected sheer closeness of him, where you briefly considered if he told you that little tidbit about the Angel's Share just for the sake of small talk or if he was stringing you along. The second option was hardly conceivable to you. It felt far more like the kind of action his brother would take as opposed to him. Still, the sentiment behind his anecdote certainly struck a chord with you, save for the part where he suggested people only came back for the wine. You of all people knew there were other reasons why people came crawling back to the Angel's Share and not just any old bar. How aware Diluc was of such a conundrum was a complete mystery to you, but the message behind the story resonated a little too personality. You had (ironic as it is) liberated yourself from Mondstadt when you reached your adult years. You traveled the world and at times were certain you'd never turn back, yet you were back again, all for one man. Diluc was your dandelion wine.

"People find themselves doubling back for the things they believe will make them whole," he explained further, glass in hand once again. "And somehow it seems the wind has led you all the way back here: home. Humans are stubborn creatures. Once you've got your mind made up that you need something, nothing else is gonna satisfy you. The good news, though, is that unlike wine some urges don't need to be resisted. It's better you just give into those."

You took a final swig of your wine and sighed. "Smart as always, Diluc. Can't say you've changed much at all."

"What can I say? I enjoy consistency."

You rolled your eyes at him, offering him a handful of mora as you scooted out of your seat.

Diluc only pushed your hand away, though, clasping your fingers around the cold metal pieces. "On the house," he said. "And for the record... it's nice to see you again."

You smiled shyly as you shoved the coins back in your pocket. "You too," you agreed before making your leave.

For the moment at least.

You spent a good portion of the starry night taking a stroll through Mondstadt's streets, taking in sights that were the same yet different simultaneously from the childhood hometown you knew. There was a gusty breeze but clear skies. You went by Good Hunter for a hot meal, saw a few familiar faces you watched for a bit like a memory. It was the first time you had stopped to reminisce since arriving back in Mondstadt, but mostly you were looking for something important. You were trying to see if there was anything other than Diluc that brought you back, and the answer you reach was an astounding no. When the night became late, you went back to the Angel's Share toward close and sat yourself at one of the outdoor round tables, fidgeting with your own fingers anxiously as you waited.

You heard the ringing of the door behind you as it swung open, and you sharply turned around to meet the fiery red eyes of Diluc once again. He froze when he saw you, eyes widening in realization, dots quickly connecting.

"Oh," he said as he gently shut the door.

You smiled nervously. "Ya," you replied, eyes quickly darting back to the bag in your hand. "I brought you some sticky honey roast! You must be hungry by now."

He sighed and walked his way over to the chair next to you. It was hard to tell if the sigh was in reluctance or relief. "Thank you," he told you, accepting the food with a smile.

You gave him a moment to open the food and take a few bites, watching nervously for his approval (as if you made it yourself which you most certainly didn't). You were right, though. He was hungry. For a moment he hardly paid attention to you, but he quickly corrected that behavior and delicately wiped the honey away from his face before turning back to you and laughing in his own embarrassed disbelief.

"You know, when you were talking about that thing you couldn't forget, I didn't think... I mean, I considered it briefly, but I-" and he stopped, like he saying it would make it more true than he could actually believe. He pressed a hand into his forehead and ran it down his faced frustratedly. "You said I was smart before you left... I gotta say, I don't feel very smart right now."

You answered his own nervous laughter and repeated it back to him. "You wanna talk about feeling dumb?" you said. "Do you know how many times I thought about what I'd say and do in this position and thought: 'You know who I should ask for advice? Diluc."

His frustrated laughing quickly turned into a genuine one, a smile growing across his face so wide and excessive you couldn't help but find it infectious, and soon you were both laughing at your own stupidity. Diluc was hardly as happy and expressive as you'd seen him tonight, and at that moment you began to wonder where this was coming from. You perhaps? You quickly buried the consideration. The two of you did eventually come back down from your hysterics, and Diluc recuperated himself, clearing his throat and crossing his arms across his chest.

"So... umm- is there something you're wanting to tell me?" he asked.

You sighed and glared at him. "You're seriously gonna make me say it?"

"Oh ya," he scoffed proudly, leaning into you so he could hang on the edge of your every word. "I mean, I'm assuming you've thought about this a lot. I would hate to rob you of your moment."

You briefly rolled your eyes at him, but you knew he wasn't wrong. You'd thought about what you would say dozens of times over, and while you felt far more comfortable in Diluc's presence in the moment than you thought you would, it didn't change that tinge of nervous energy you had about it. You took a deep breath before reconnecting your eyes with his. "Diluc," you began, and he smiled at the way you said it sending butterflies throughout you that you simply had to dismiss in the moment. "As you know, I've gone a lot of places now. I've been to all corners of Tevyat, seen a lot of things, and met a lot of people. But no matter what I do and where I go, I can't shake this feeling I needed to come back to you. Because, well, I've always been kind of crazy about you and traveling the world just didn't change that even though I tried. That thing you said about people going back for the things that make them whole... I looked everywhere for something else- someone else- that would do that for me, and it's only confirmed that you are the only solution. I want you, all of you, and I always have and always will. Nothing else is ever gonna satisfy me, and I should've never left Mondstadt in the first place without telling you that."

Then there was silence, an indescribable look on Diluc's face, and the pounding of your heart as you waited for his response. "So?" you asked.

"You have no idea how long I've waited for you to say that," he told you, face plastered in an unmoving smile. "I wasn't sure you were ever coming back, and now that you are... I don't think I've ever been more relieved about anything. You've come to my bar on my shifts a couple times since arriving, and it's been the highlight of my day every time. All that to say, I guess you could say I'm a little crazy about you too."

Hearing that was like an explosion of emotion, and despite how that whole night had went it still came as an absolute shock to you. You erupted into all shades of red, frozen and practically malfunctioning in front of him. In the here and now, the world was as it should be, better than it had ever been. When Diluc placed his hand on top of yours, you nearly melted into mush.

"Thank you," he told you. "For coming back I mean."

You still couldn't shake the shock, but you told him regardless. "Thank you for letting me," you told him back. "If I had known things ould turn out like this, I wouldn't have made you wait."

He shrugged. "Don't even worry about that," he reassured you. "At the end of the day, it was you who had the guts to come to me first. You've always been more of the go-getter type."

"And yet I went literally as far as I could trying to avoid this," you thought, the words slipping out of your mouth.

"Regardless, I'm glad you changed your mind," he told you, before gripping into your hand firmly and encouragingly. "It's getting cold. We should get going."

"Ya? Where to?" you asked him.

He smiled, his chest rising in a shaky breath. "I was hoping... my place. I don't wanna wait any longer than this, and I don't think you want to either."

You felt an inadmissible fluttering in your heart as you nodded back to Diluc in agreement, eyes wide and glossed over. "Okay," you answered him back, before he fully wrapped his hand around yours and guided you away with him.

Kaedehara Kazuha

Stupid Kazuha. Stupid, overly perceptive, beautiful Kazuha, you thought to yourself. Leave it to him to see right through you as always, so much so that when you go to finally ask him... he beats you to it. Of all your time on the ocean, you had never met someone who had you all figured out all too quickly like Kazuha did. He had a keen eye and excellent observation skills. You were never the most transparent person, but within a couple weeks of his stay aboard the Crux Fleet, he was reading you like a book. So here you were up in the crows nest in the dead of night, telling him about the hopes and dreams you dared not to tell anyone else, and when the conversation shifted to how you've come to resent how you never prioritized intimacy in your life and how lonely you had begun to feel out on the open sea, Kazuha already knew what you wanted, and naturally, he just asked first instead. "I'm sorry, was that too straightforward or me? You look a little red there," he commented in silky tones, concerned but still insistently teasing and mocking you all the same. "Oh, I'm totally fine," you said with a sigh as you rubbed against your cheeks as if to wipe away the red. "Oh really?" he pressed on further, "Are you certain? Because, if you ask me, you look like you might burst into flames any second now," he chuckled. "Haha, very funny!" you commented back, head turning sharply away from his gaze, a slight sense of uncertainty settling in as you tossed back and forth with yourself the genuineness of Kazuha’s offer. “You didn’t say all that just to get a reaction out of me… Right, Kazuha?” He placed a gentle hand onto the small of your back, pulling in close enough to where you couldn’t help but see the shining red of his eyes in your peripherals. “I assure you, I’m quite serious about this… watching you flounce around like a fish out of water is just a bonus.” You playfully swatted his hand away from yours at his comment, turning back to face him with a warm rosy color spread across your face. “You asshole,” you criticized him with lacking seriousness. “You know you love me,” he replied smugly, to which you shook your head in disbelief. “Deny me all you want, but I know all too well that I drive you crazy, and you revel in the chaos.” “Well, you’re certainly not wrong about the part about driving me crazy…” “Oh? Is that a confession I hear?” “If it helps you sleep at night.” The two of you went back and forth like an old married couple, trading insults with flirtatious undertones. It was a pastime you’d become accustomed to, a hobby you and Kazuha shared. Did you truly bask in chaos of it all? Of course. Would you ever admit that to him directly? Now that would ruin the fun. “You know, you never actually told me yes or no,” he asserted. “Kazuha… I think you can figure out the answer on your own.” “Oh, on the contrary. Don’t you know? I, Kaedehara Kazuha, have always been a simple straightforward man who needs to be told everything directly. I simply will not know until you tell me,” he spoke dramatically. The answer in your heart? Of course it was yes. How could it not be? But when Kazuha sat there and watched you with those self assured eyes and lips slightly curved in the most diabolical smirk... god, he made that so hard to admit out loud, and you did not feel like swallowing your pride tonight, so instead you huffed and pursed your lips, crossed your arms and swiftly turned your gaze away from him like a stubborn child. Kazuha, however, was certainly not going to let you off that easily though. He gripped onto the wood of the column that stood high above the rest of the ship and swung his body around, facing you head on with an almost dorky smile. "Miss me?" he says. "You wish," you chirped back, immediately turning back the other way, arms crossed and pushed up against your chest. "Aw, don't be like that," he pouts, taking a step closer to you and sliding a gentle hand onto your shoulder, rubbing it comfortingly across the bare skin.

The sensation sends a shiver throughout your body, but you simply walk around the wooden pole, distancing yourself just out of reach of him. He responds by subtly inching toward you once again, and you can feel his gaze burning into the back of your neck, so you pick up your pace, moving faster around the small perimeter of the crows nest, eyeing him occasionally as he follows closely behind until you both are running around it like school children. "Oh come on, love," he'll pant with a tinge of desperation in his voice as he continues to chase you, "You can't run from this forever!" "I can sure as hell try, you smug bastard!" you retort. It goes from an avoidance of confrontation to another teasing game between the two of you faster than you can truly process it, but you can hear him laughing between catching his breath, and you're still trying to avoid his gaze for not wanting to satisfy him with the giddy smile you have painted across your face. Soon, you're running without thinking, and Kazuha isn't letting up whatsoever, until you close your eyes for two seconds, and he cleverly makes a swift pivot so that you land effortlessly in his arms. The way his hands grip instinctively onto your waist as his crimson eyes illuminate in the starlight sends butterflies fluttering throughout the pit of your stomach. You can tell he's noticed the redness of your face, the way you're practically glowing, because he only seems to match that expression and amplify it within yourself. He takes a single loose strand of your hair and pushes it back behind your ear, lovingly memorizing the look on your face, as he's certain he'll cherish it for years to come. Things grow silent, the good kind of silent that only serves to let a perfect moment stand without time trying to push you into a far inferior one. You're just dying for him to kiss you, but instead he says: "Say you're mine, even if it's just for tonight." And he says it with such honest and adoring eyes... how could you possibly deny him now? "I'm yours," you answer. "Tonight, tomorrow..." "Always."

A/N: Hello guys! I know this part two has been a long time coming, but it is finally finished. This is easily the highest demand part two on my page, and I am so so thankful for all of you who patiently waited. This was hard to write, as I had multiple instances of writers block for months but at long last, we have four more amazing men with four separate narratives. This really did turn into four fleshed out stories, which definitely lends itself to the point of me writing these more than the first part, though I still love it as well. It's always been about character exploration and the exploration of ideas surrounding virginity, and hope those of you who read this can find some joy in this. This is an important series to me, because it takes a piece of fiction I love and uses it to try and navigate what I find to be an important topic to explore because of all its societal implications. Also, feel free to lmk if there are characters you'd like to see in part 3, though it might be a while once again. I'm thankful for all you, and please have a lovely day!

— CHILDE

Childe, a mighty harbinger, a person who fights people just for the thrill. The harbinger who’s known for his bloodlust, is also the person who calms you down during your panic and anxiety attacks.

With you, Childe isn’t Childe or Tartaglia, nor is he the 11th Fatui Harbinger. With you, Childe is Ajax, the soft loving man that only you and his family has the privilege to see. Believe it or not, Ajax is extremely warm, his presence is enough to make you calm down but sometimes, even his soft and comforting touch doesn’t stop the attack.

You two had just arrived to the congratulatory party for Childe after he had slained a God from another nation. Childe brought you with him of course, wanting to be with you throughout the night.

It was going fine, you swore you wouldn’t let your anxiety ruin Childe’s night. He was so happy, smiling at everyone and laughing smugly whenever someone compliments his wonderful work.

But being a harbinger’s s/o isn’t helping. Everyone’s eyes were constantly on you, others even whispering to each other before laughing. You hated this, you didn’t like the attention, you just wanted to go under your comfy blanket and just take a long, well deserved nap.

You excused yourself, trying your best to put on a convincing smile for your boyfriend before going to leave for the restroom. You shakily walked towards the direction of your destined destination, ignoring everyone stare, unbeknownst to you, no one was really staring. It was just on your mind, feeling like everyone’s suddenly approaching you, caging you in a circle while they made fun of you.

You ran, opening the door of the restroom before slamming it shut so loud, that everyone had to stare at the closed room, wondering if you were alright.

“I’ll handle it, please don’t mind.” Childe spoke loudly and jogged towards the room where you went, he wasn’t upset, he was more worried about you.

Once he had approached the door, he knocked on it gently, calling out for your name.

“Ajax.. Can’t breathe..” came your muffled voice and that alone made him more worried. “Ok.. sweetheart can you approach the door? Open it for me?” He spoke through the small gaps of the door, his hand still resting on the doorknob, gently and silently breaking it so that you wouldn’t panic more.

“I can’t, everyone’s laughing.. I can’t see anything..” He could hear your breathing go uneven and he didn’t care anymore, he broke the knob and bursted in, and the sight that welcomed him made him frown.

You were staring at your reflection on the mirror, your mascara dripping down on your porcelain skin mixed with your tears, your chest rising up and down in a quick pace.

“Shh, shh, inhale and exhale baby.” He reassured, kissing your temple and rubbed your back comfortingly. You could slowly feel yourself calm down but it wasn’t going away, you can still hear the laughter outside.

“They’re laughing, aren’t they? They’re-“ You cut yourself off, gasping for air. “Hey, hey, calm down please. You’re gonna pass out.” Childe embraced you, his lips pressed on your head and he sighed in relief, feeling your figure calm down.

“Do you wanna go home? Take a long nap and stay in bed all day tomorrow?” He asked, and smiled contently when you hugged him back and mumbled a small “Thank you, I love you.”

“I love you too darling, so much.”

YOU CRY OUT OF NOWHERE

Note : I'm sorry if this is so late, I took a break but this request is too good to ignore. And I actually relate, I'd often just cry out of nowhere but not really bawl, just sit silently crying and it's a bit concerning. I hope we're both okay though, anon. Thank you for sending this <3

Character/s : Diluc, Zhongli, Xiao x gn!Reader

Warning/s : slight angst? idrk, just you crying out of nowhere and the boys being concerned and/or confused, some fluff though cause they're sweet and uhh pls tell me if i'm writing xiao right,,,

DILUC

🜂 You were eating Dinner together, you kept quiet, given how your day was so mundane that nothing interesting happened.

🜂 The only sound to be heard in the Winery's dining room was your cutleries clinking against the plates, and then it happened.

🜂 You were just innocently chewing on your Sticky Honey Roast piece when you felt something wet and hot trail down your cheeks. You drop your fork to hold your face.

🜂 You couldn't stop, why were you even crying? You are just eating peacefully after such a boring day and now you're crying-

🜂 Diluc, alarmed at your sudden break into tears, got up from his chair and knelt in front of you.

🜂 "Is everything okay, Love?"

🜂 Worry painting his worn-out face, you forced a grin and broke into giggles. Confusing your lover further.

🜂 “I’m sorry I don’t why I’m-” You didn’t get to finish when he wrapped his arms around you and you spilled more tears, this felt weird. 

🜂 Your chest was beginning to heave and some heavy feeling was settling on it, but in your mind you thought you were fine? 

🜂 But at the moment you just continued breaking down in Diluc’s arms, he held you so tightly and even ran his gloved hands up and down your back in an attempt to soothe you.

🜂 “I- I don’t even know why I’m crying.” You confessed in between sobs but he didn’t laugh like you expected, it was a funny situation but you also wonder why this happened.

🜂 “Regardless, this must be coming from somewhere.” He replied in such a soft tone, you barely heard him through your own sniffles. “Just let it all out, love. We can finish dinner later.”

🜂 Oh right, you were in the middle of eating dinner. With his words of assurance, you just stayed there, glad to be able to hold him close in this moment and breathe in his scent that was of campfire and grapes.

🜂 You still don’t know why you just burst into tears like that but this isn’t so bad.

ZHONGLI

☄ It happened while you were cooking. It was a peaceful afternoon, Zhongli cutting up ingredients next to you. You always cooked, but he insisted on helping every time.

☄ He can’t really claim to be the best cook out there, but he didn’t want to just sit around waiting for you to finish, and so you let him at least chop ingredients up.

☄ Just as you dumped the minced Jueyun Chilis into the pot, your vision began blurring with the tears clouding your vision, and you froze.

☄ What’s happening? You stood there, empty plate in hand in front of the heated pot trying to register what’s happening and Zhongli was quick to notice.

☄ He turned to you, and seeing your tears, he dropped his knife to make you turn to him and inspect you. Did you burn yourself? Why were you crying?

☄ You were too shocked at your sudden burst into tears that you let him raise your hands so he can check if you’ve injured yourself. Seeing you are fine, he’d look into your tear-stained cheeks and feel a poke at his heart.

☄ You didn’t cry often. Actually- he’s only ever seen you be mildly upset once, and it was when a merchant from Snezhnaya tried to scam Zhongli when he realized that the man was not going to even try to negotiate prices.

☄ You raised your voice a bit higher but it was still not quite angry.

☄ So to see you crying in front of him was a shock. He’d try wiping your eyes with his thumb, knowing he doesn’t have Jueyun Chili juice on it or he might make your crying worse.

☄ “Did the Chili get in your eyes, Dearest?” He asked, and you shook your head, still crying uncontrollably.

☄ “I don’t know why- I just-”

☄ He nodded with a sigh. “Perhaps something happened some time this week? Or month? Can you recall anything?”

☄ Ignoring the steaming pot next to you, you tried to recall your memories of this week and can’t think of anything relevant to your current state, so you shake your head to say ‘no’ again.

☄ “Often, humans would experience inconveniences and brush them off. These feelings tend to pile up and most likely, you would spill.”

☄ It didn’t make sense to you, but he’s a god who’s lived thousands of years maybe he’s right, so you just nodded and leaned into his touch. You’re aware you don’t freely express any feelings other than joy

☄ but you didn’t expect it all to stack and just come crumbling down.

☄ “How about we finish cooking and we can talk about this further during our meal?” He offered and you were still crying but nodded. 

☄ It was weird, but you’re glad he’s understanding enough to actually try and help give you an explanation for such an odd occurrence.

✾ Poor Yaksha has no idea what to do. He was sat across you, drinking tea.

✾ You both enjoyed each other’s company and often sat in silence while you drank tea, he liked the comforting warmth you’d provide

✾ You didn’t even have to say anything and he’ll be set for the rest of the day

✾ Holding the cup to his lips, he’d freeze when he saw the tear making its way down your cheek - 

✾ It was one single tear but it alerted him.

✾ But what confuses him further was the fact that you seemed as equally confused as him, wiping the tear with your lips parted.

✾ “What- “ you didn’t get to finish your own question.

✾ “Who hurt you?” He asked.

✾ You dismiss how quick he was to assume that someone is responsible and you shake your head, tilting your head back to halt the upcoming tears threatening to spill.

✾ This is very unbecoming of you - he’s never seen you in such a state and so he has no idea what to do or say

✾ “No one - I’m - I don’t even know what’s going on.” And the confusion seemed to pile into your already existing burden that the tears kept coming and

✾ there was no stopping it so you just sat there, wiping your cheeks and putting Xiao in a very awkward position.

✾ A few people watching you two and narrowing their eyes at him, as if he was the cause of all this?

✾ “I’m fine, I’m sorry - “ You shake your head. “This used to happen to me all the time as a kid, it’s been a while since I cried out of nowhere.”

✾ “Is that normal?” He’d ask, wondering if it was a mortal thing.

✾ “I don’t know, but there’s no helping it.”

"Adelinde, please run us a bath." Heavy footsteps engulfed your mind, taking you out from the trance you were in as you shed off the heavy layer of his coat. It was awkward to say the least, well this man was your ex afterall, what you think?

Over some misunderstandings with jean in the past, you two part ways as young adults but here you two were, under the same roof, inside the dawn winery. With him again.

This wasn't supposed to happen. You hadn't expect it, living a neutral life for the past few years, the last thing you had expected is to bump into the same man you once swore to yourself you'd never see again. But here you were.

Adelinde paused as she was about to bow down to greet the master of the house but then, noticing you. Your cheeks were bright red, whether from embarrassment or the cold of dragonspine from where the two of you silently made your way down to the dawn winery. "As you wish, Master Diluc" turning to you, giving you a knowing smile before walking away.

"So..make yourself comfortable until the bath is ready."

"Yeah, that if I didn't have a gash on my knee, master Diluc." You snap, glaring up at him while his eyes go wide in realization.

Oh yeah, that's right. The reason you're here. Getting chased by hilichurls and tripping hard enough to slam your face on the hard icy pavement below but as you were close to accepting the cruel fate of Celestia, making you die like this, burning flames took over your line of sight as in seconds, every enemies dropped below like flies. Stood tall infront you was none other than Diluc Ragnivindr. It leads to you being here now, as the man somehow convinced to come along with him to the Dawn winery, as you didn't seem fit enough to walk all the way to your house in Mondstadt and rather go the closest place to stay for the night and recover, that being none other than his mansion.

You believe maybe you were possessed by something to even agree to this, as you mentally cringed at anything at the moment. Diluc hung his head low in his hands, maybe in sheer embarrassment, "ah yes. That slipped my mind." Looking back up, he held his hand out, offering silently to assist you to the nearest seat. Having no choice, you let him. Pretending the warmth of his hands didn't make you feel right back at home.

Letting out a small whimper in pain, you managed to sit down for the time being, awkward silence once again taking over the two of you. Not knowing what can one say to break the ice and start up a conversation but thankfully, Adelinde came back shortly after before anyone needed to muster up courage to even look up at each other again.

"Bath is ready." She announces before going back to give privacy, much to your dismay. Nodding, Diluc holds you up to stand but as he saw just how much you struggled to even stand straight, he was left with no choice but to gently carry you like a princess, against your protests. "Stop moving, you're hurt y/n." You rolled your eyes and looked at anything but him, praying to Barbatos he doesn't see the blush covering most of your face.

Making you sit on the edge, he was about to hold up your leg but you squeaked and trying to shake away from him, not that you felt uncomfortable, no. He was anything but someone who could make you feel uneasy, you felt safe in his arms like you always did but it was the embarrassment and the speeding of your heart that made your brain scream to push away unconsciously. Diluc sighs, "Look, I know, infact I'm very aware of your distaste towards me but you're hurt and bleeding, Archons forbid if you get infection, just-" he sucks in a deep breath, "just let me help you. Please." His eyes were pleading, it has you contemplating whether if you were hurt or him and in such a vulnerable voice it caught you off guard. You've never seen him so.. desperate?

Whatever the case maybe, you sigh and nod. Looking down at your lap. You barely make out the faint "thank you" from him as his warm slender fingers inspect the injury thoroughly. "This is gonna burn..I apologize in advance" he warns, as he gently presses on the cotton drenched with some antiseptic-like solution and cleans up the dried blood, you often hiss from the sudden aching pain on your knee, making out the soft sorry's he'd say everytime. Wrapping it up finally with bandages. "I'm no healer.." he says, "Make sure to go to the cathedral tomorrow for Barbara." He advices you, you simply nod along.

"Can you take your clothes off or do you need my assistance?" He asks, your head shot up and look at him as if he said something abnormal or grew out a second head "W-what!" Confused, he asks the same thing, "for the bath and besides, your dress is ruined from the fall earlier." Well he was right after all, just one look down below was enough to confirm his claims, the bottom was soaked in dried up mud, wet from the snow, and torn up in some corners.

Taking your defeat, you just let him, though to be respectful, his eyes stayed glued elsewhere as his hand trance above your dress, zipping down, pulling the strings and take the material over your head and the cool air really made you realize just how vulnerable you were right now. Left in nothing but your undergarments.

Your mind was so far gone, you hadn't even thought of how all of this could be done with the help of his several maids, not the man himself but it sure seemed like you had no complaints. Picking you back up just to put you below the water, the bandage thankfully was wrapped tight enough to not let any water in but still, you kept it above the water, on the edge. Coughing, Diluc has his back facing to you, "let me know when you're done." But before he left, you were crazy enough to ask him to stay. That caught him off guard as well as you. You don't know why you asked or what on Teyvat truly possessed you to say so but when he slowly turned around, his face bright red with the request but still he obliged wordlessly, which somehow made it possible for you to not regret your impulsive decision anymore. He got in the bathtub fully clothed behind you. It was very uncomfortable but he stayed rather quiet about it.

"Are you okay with..this?" He asks, you nod. No other words needed to be exchanged as the heavy sexual tension was testing both of you to crack. It wasn't long though, as shy hands with gentle innocent touches on your skin turned much more hungrier by the minute. Your soapy covered breasts accompanied by his hands tugging and twisting on your nipples had you chewing on your bottom lip. He didn't care as he dragged his lips on the back of your neck and shoulders, leaving messy open kisses on your wet skin. Missed you's along with love you's rang heavy in the air by Diluc. He has never been so vocal. Hooded eyes looked at you from the back for any reactions as his hands toyed with you. "You don't know how much I missed you" his long fingers slide in-between your folds with ease, "you don't have any idea how much I've been wanting you" his hot breathes felt heavy beside your ear, moans erupting from you as now he lost whatever self control he had in himself and drilled two of his long fingers into your little cunt, relishing the way it spasmed and tightened around just his fingers hard. "fuck I missed this too." He says, whispering while he continues fingering you, "remember darling? How we use to do this on a regular basis? Behind trees, here in the dawn winery, the woods.." he almost purrs as he leaned his face forward enough to see your eyes rolling back, "Gosh you were and are so beautiful.." he was breathing hard now.

"D-Diluc" you moan, kissing your earlobe he answers you, "Yes, my love?" "Need m-more" that made him smile on your skin. He speds up his finger in almost an inhumane pace, which almost made you scream but in record time, he covered your mouth with his other hand. "You don't want others to hear you, now do you?"

You shake your head, he was enjoying this a little too much as he chuckles, curling his fingers and thumbing on your clit to make it nearly impossible for you to stay quiet. He was painfully hard in his confined wet pants but he couldn't be bothered, he was getting off to your sounds, the expressions you were making and the way your weak little small hands couldn't even move his hands off you for an inch. How cute.

Right as you were seeing stars and close to having a climax, that bastard stopped. You whine and tried to look back to glare at him, all he did was let out the sweetest laugh you've ever heard from him and pepper-kiss your face. "Don't want you to catch a cold now..do we?" He says, not even hiding his smirk and his teasing tone told you everything. "Oh fuck you Diluc." You muttered back, feeling your face heat up in realization of what you two were really doing. This was not supposed to happen but you could hardly make yourself say stop because you didn't wanted to stop, either.

It was clear you two missed each other as he gently picked you up from the tub as if you were made of glass, wrapping you in a towel to dry you off, while you looked down in embarrassment. Not for long though, he leaned down to kiss you, almost moaning in your mouth, savoring how you taste and just how soft your lips are again. It's been a while and the man was hungry for more. The towel was long forgotten about on the wet floor, the two of you were making out messily as he lead you to the bed on his arms, pulling away, he loved how swollen your lips were from kissing. He dropped you on the bed and you watch without any shame as he pulled off his wet shirt and along with his pants, his red locks were a mess but my gosh you'd be lying if you said this wasn't the most attractive thing ever.

Taking note of your injured leg, carefully he spread you out on his sheets and nearly cum right there untouched. It was an understatement how touchstarved he was and after all these years of losing you, looking at you from a distant and missing you dearly while he fucked his fist even if it was nearly nothing as good as you with little to no shame, he has you now. He took his sweet time looking at you sprawled out on the bed while you looked back at him through your eyelashes, anticipating what he was going to do next.

"D-Do you want this?" uncharacteristically, he sounded very nervous but assuringly you smile, "Yeah.. I do."

He nods, thanking the Archons above as he let go of all the restraints he had on himself and just shove his face on your breasts, moving his mouth only to mark you. You busy yourself by playing with his hair as you too let go and moan his name. Hearing the way you were now moaning out his name has his already painfully hard cock throb and leak more beads of precum from the tip.

You got this grand idea as you pulled his head up, making him look at you, "I want to taste you." You stated simply but man did that one sentence cause short circuits in Redhead's mind. "W-what" "get above me." You watch proudly as his face heated up every second but he obliged. He sat on top and edged closer above your body until he was close enough to your face but before he could even mentally prepare himself, you dived right now. Wrapping your lips around his throbbing cock as you begin to suck him, dragging your tongue under the shaft while tightening your lips just right around his fat cock. The feeling of your warm mouth and along with your tongue had the man going crazy. It was him muttering out your name and cursing under his breath, trying to have any composure as you continued your action but fastening up your pace. That made him hold your face and stop you, "w-wait wait wait" trying to regain his breath, "you're gonna make me cum, I- I don't want to do that yet." You giggle, "didn't know you were so sensitive Master Diluc.." you tease, he moves away from your face and doesn't hesitate one bit as now he turned your body over like it was nothing. Ass up in the air and your face shoved in the pillows, "stay like that, don't move an inch.." he warns as he began to eat you out like a starved man. Shoving his wet muscle as far as it can go inside of you while adding his fingers to curl as well, making your vision go white. "You taste do good my love" "need you to cum on my tongue please, I know you can do it baby please?" by now his pleads in-between your thighs were almost incoherent, mindless begging for your cum as if it's the last thing he wants ever. The curls and drags from his calloused fingers and the stretch was unbelievably delightful, almost driving you crazy with the rough pace he has on and then soon enough he makes you cum, then again, again and then again.

Your throat was getting sore from screaming into the pillows yet the man couldn't stop, eating you up as if he's been starving for ages and frankly, he was. After many pleadings, he did stop however, both much to your relief and disappointment. But it's okay, he can read you like an open book, for the rest of the night, he barely left you empty. Either his hands or his cock was inside you, him whining often from the sheer amount of pleasure as he sloppy fucked you throughout the night for the entire time.

...

It was early in the morning, you usually would have stayed knocked out if it wasn't for the less but still aching pain on the knee and as well as being very patched. Bits and pieces of the previous hours caught up with you as you lightly chuckled to yourself. You gotta say, that was one hell of a time after several years later and needless to say, you didn't mind. But as you managed to get up though, you almost jumped out of your skin. You hadn't been expecting Diluc to be awake, more over, you hadn't expect him to see.. asleep tiredly on the sofa that was positioned infront of the bed on the opposite side. You limped over and shook him gently. Sleepily, he hums in question. "Diluc..why are you sleeping here?" "Huh? Oh y-yes. I'm just watching- wait" as if it finally registered in his half asleep state that you were awake and nearly jumped up seeing you standing infront of him, concerned. "You- You're awake!" "Yeah..I am, why are you here on the sofa? Isn't it uncomfortable and besides your bed is big enough to have space for almost everyone in Teyvat." You exaggerated, jokingly. He shook his head but smiled at your silly joke anyway, causing your heart to flutter.

Pulling you gently, he makes you sit on his lap, "aren't you tired? Why are you up?" He asks, caressing your face. "Oh, nothing I just needed water.." "you should've called me from bed, I stayed up to look after you." Oh.. you think, looking below you did notice yourself to be wearing one of his long shirts and noticing the change of bandages, you turn to scold him.

"you have work to do in the morning! Why were you up? I'm alright??" You question, he smiles, ah there you were again. His same old y/n concerned about him more. "Don't worry, I'll do just fine and Besides.." kissing your forehead, affectionately he tugs and plays with the hem of his own shirt on you, "you're worth it"

Blushing but before you could say anything more, Diluc cages you in his arms and pulls you in a bear hug while you sat on his lap, flushed against his shirtless chest, normally you would've smiled at this but the sudden damp of the cloth on your shoulder has you distracted. "Diluc..?" You cautiously asked. "I was so scared..seeing you just-" the cracks on his voice let you know he was crying.

Pulling away fast, you held his face, kissing him to calm his nerves down. Noticing just how tired yet relieved he looked, "I really thought I was going to lose you too.." he lets out a watery laugh, though it falls flat and the pit in your stomach drops with concern and guilt. Knowing his history of losing his Father made you realize just what must've gone through in his head seeing you too like that.

"Hey now, I'm here aren't I? We can.. maybe start all over again." You smile, "besides, I've missed the wine"

Sniffing slightly but yet with a more alive look on his face, he smirks a little, "missed just the wine?"

"fine, maybe missed you too."

The relationship between you two has many cracks and conversations to go over but for now, you're content with listening the pitter-patter of his heart as you laid on his chest while Diluc relish the smell from your hair and held you tight to never let go of you ever again.

order up ! // sleepy whispers [ diluc x reader ]

order up ! one fresh cappucino + pumpkin + cream for diluc! prompt: you and diluc complete your commissions and take shelter in wangshu inn from the rain. there's only one bed in the room. you fail to see how this is a problem. now serving: diluc x gn!reader warning labels: diluc is exhausted and therefore extra sappy <3, fluff, humor fic? kinda word count: 0.8k words

barista's notes: uhhh went a joke-y route with this? i hope that whoever requested it still likes it tho LOL

when the rain begins, diluc almost immediately shrugs off his own coat and drapes it over your shoulders, ignoring any of your protests for him to wear it instead. you know him well enough that he isn't changing his mind when he gets like this, so you begrudgingly lift the coat up over your head to shelter yourself from the rain. diluc walks beside you, slowly getting drenched from the downpour as the two of you scurry to wangshu inn in hopes for shelter.

the two of you book the last room available and diluc leaves wet footprints behind as the two of you finally get a chance to rest. after completing your commissions, fatigue sinks into your bones and you can clearly see it in diluc's own figure as well. yet, for the rain-drenched man, the foremost thing on his mind is the nice idea of a warm shower, so diluc slips away from you and into the bathroom.

you, on the other hand, are far too exhausted to wait for diluc to finish up. instead, you peel off your soaked pants and relatively-dry shirt and slip on the extra pair you had packed in your own bag. the dry clothes feel like heaven on your now chilled skin, but nothing quite satisfies you like flopping onto the bed.

when diluc returns, he changes into his own spare set of clothes. his cheeks flush bright red as he catches your gaze when he shrugs on his shirt, yet his eyes widen even further the more he looks at you.

"is something wrong?" you ask genuinely, tilting your head to the side.

"there is... only one bed. i can sleep on the floor," the redhead immediately offers and you let out a perplexed laugh.

"darling," you begin slowly. "did the abyss mage today cast a spell on you or something? we're married."

for extra reassurance, you wiggle your left hand up in the air, showing off the ring diluc had given you not that long ago. diluc stares at you, glances away nervously, and returns to staring at you. he blinks. he gulps. he blinks again.

"oh," diluc deadpans, before rubbing a hand over his face. "right."

he blinks once more and you can tell that your husband is about to fall asleep on his feet, so you bite back your laughter at his amused antics. you pat the spot on the bed next to you and diluc climbs in next to you, before wrapping his arms around your waist and placing a kiss on your forehead.

"lulu, did you forget we were married?" you tease gently as his bleary eyes stare at you. they threaten to close at any moment, but a slight furrow of his brow lets you know that diluc is doing his best to focus on you.

"i am... quite tired," diluc explains. "but i cannot deny that my heart fluttered a bit when you reminded me."

your husband nestles himself further into your grasp, drawn in by your body's natural warmth. like a moth to a flame, you had said to him before. if you didn't know better, you would say that you were the one with the pyro vision instead of him with the way he clung to you at nights, but in his sleepy state, diluc is even more clingy than usual. you scoot up a bit to get a better grip around his waist as well and diluc uses the opportunity to burrow his face in the crook of your neck.

"ah, so you did forget?" you chide playfully and diluc lets out a soft hum. "do i need to remind you of our wedding vows?"

"no," diluc mumbles into your skin. "because even i knew that my heart would always belong to you, even if i didn't remember that you were mine."

in his sleepy state, diluc is much more vulnerable. come the morning, he will not speak of these sweet nothings he murmurs to you now and instead will showcase his love through his actions, but your heart clenches at his words nonetheless. in this moment, diluc is honest and true. so, rather than continue to pry abnormal words out of him, you press a kiss to the crown of his head as his breathing slows and his grip slackens.

tonight, you can afford your husband the luxury of lowering his guard. tonight, you will hold him and be the last to fall asleep... even if he had forgotten that the two of you were married in the first place.

tomorrow morning? well... that's a different story. you hope diluc is ready for the teasing that will ensue, but for now, you only wish for him to have sweet dreams.

HELLO!! this was sent a while back and i was wondering if you could do this with mmm,,, xiao or diluc? whomever u feel would be better b))

Diluc

You sit on the couch trying to concentrate on the book you're reading, but you've been stuck on the same page for over an hour. You're left alone in this big house while your boyfriend is out fighting some evil creatures. Diluc left two days ago and was supposed to be back already. Usually, he doesn't take too long to do a mission, because he wants to come back home to where you are, he always finishes his job as quickly as he can, and come back early as promised.

But not this time.

He's not back like he promised you he would.

You check the outside from the window but there's no sign of him.

It would be better if you could go with him on his missions, to not stay home and just worry about him. But Diluc told you not to come for your own safety.

He always tells you to not come.

It's pathetic, right? Being a vision holder just like your boyfriend but not being able to accompany him on his missions. You know your abilities do not compare to his, Diluc is much more experienced and knows how to fight much better than you, but still, you're never going to improve if he won't give you the opportunity to do so.

These days you've been arguing a lot with Diluc. At some point in your discussion he said something about you being stubborn, he told you several times that risking your life for nothing is the dumbest thing ever. That made you go mad. You didn't say goodbye or give him a good luck kiss before he left that night.

And it's killing you to think Diluc may be in trouble now. If something ever happens you don't want him to remember you as just his stubborn lover. You wish you didn't give him the cold shoulder as he walked away.

You can't just sit and wait for the worse, you're now heading to where Diluc is supposed to be. You're going after him.

You've checked the documents he was reading the night before leaving, it was a report on abyss creatures doing unusual stuff around Stormterror's Lair. There's also a map with the exact location. Good thing is, he didn't have time to clean this up and hide it from you.

Diluc is not actually in trouble, he just had a hard time fighting some Hilichurls who were on his path, this took him longer than expected and he had to wait for the other day to continue searching for the abyss reunion. It's always better to do it during the day, when the creatures are weaker.

He finds the right spot to observe them and waits for the right moment. Inside a partially destroyed building, he manages to hide. It's almost time for him to act until he sees you, walking around looking for him.

You're way too near the dangerous area and the mages notice your presence before Diluc can do anything. He only has time to scream your name so you immediately get down not to get hit by their elemental attacks.

It all happens so fast, Diluc comes out running from his hiding place and goes to where you are, positioning himself in front of you, claymore in hands and ready to attack. You're still on the ground, facing his tall frame from the back.

You were not fast enough to avoid getting hit by the cryo shot earlier, it hit you directly on your rib cage. You're in so much pain. Holding back your tears you try not to call his attention to not disturb him any further.

"Why are you here?" he says in anger, not looking at you but at the mages in front of him.

"I just- I wanted to see if you're okay." you answer.

"I'm clearly fine, you shouldn't be here, this place took me weeks to find and now the mission is ruined." his words hit you so hard.

"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be here, but I can help!" You mean, not in this state, almost passing out from the pain on your left side, but you could, under normal circumstances.

"No, you can not. Stay down." he says to you, if only he could see the look on your face he wouldn't say that.

But he can't, his attention is directed to the enemies approaching you two. He manages to dodge every single hit from the mages, it's easy for Diluc to take care of them, especially because their shields consist of cryo.

All the elemental reactions make a mess all over the place. The mage camp that was once in these ruins is now completely burnt. Diluc takes the abyss mages down in a matter of seconds, and instead of keeping them alive to question them, he has no choice but to kill everything and guarantee your safety.

He walks to you in silence when he's done and drops his weapon to the side. "Why do you look so pale?" he asks. "Y/n, what happened??"

"It's nothing, I will be fine-" talking makes it even more painful, the cold cryo is now spreading to your chest and arms, slowing your movements.

"It's not fine! Let me see that." he goes down on his knees to check your wound, you can't cover yourself because your arms feel too heavy. "This is worse than I thought, why didn't you say anything?"

"I'm sorry Diluc, I'm sorry I ruined your mission." you try to say, your voice is really low.

"Forget what I said, you're more important than this." he removes his coat and wraps you in it, then he takes you in his arms. "I will take you back to the winery and get you the best healer in town, just stay with me, okay? You can do this, you're strong, I know you are."

You try your best to stay awake, but before you two had left Stormterror's Lair the cold spread over your entire body and you fell asleep.

.

You wake up wrapped in many layers of blankets. Your body still feels cold, but here in your bed, you feel much better. Diluc is sitting on the chair next to the bed, looking at you. He notices your eyes are open and stand up to go sit beside you in bed.

"How are you feeling?" he looks worried.

"I'm fine, just a little cold."

"Let me fix that." he gets closer and wraps you in his arms, you can feel his heat through the blankets. It really feels cozy. "I will keep you warm."

"Thank you." you say.

"I'm so sorry for my behavior. All the things I did, I was only trying to protect you but I failed, seeing you hurt just..." it broke his heart. Diluc takes a deep breath and hugs you tight. "I'm sorry I left you home during my missions, I felt like I was doing the best for you, but clearly I shouldn't be the one deciding that."

"I'm sorry too, I was just so worried I couldn't sleep at night, I had to see if you were okay. I'm so sorry I cause you more trouble."

"No, you did not. I'm worried about you! I don't want to lose you, you're my everything."

"You're all I have too."

Xiao

Today you are at Jueyun Karst doing some commissions. This is not supposed to be a dangerous area but people here have been complaining about a Stonehide Lawachurl destroying some properties around here. You were requested to take care of it, it's no big deal since you've done many things like that before.

Knowing it's not a normal creature makes you worry. Lawachurls are usually in Hilichurls campsites, living among their species and not going around by themself invading human areas.

You learned how to fight with your boyfriend. Xiao was the one who taught you how to fight with many different creatures using a spear, and you've improved so much since then. Now you're considered a veteran adventurer, that's why you end up with the most dangerous quests.

You miss the old days when quests were just about helping people fix bridges and playing with children. You still get paid the same amount even if you're working twice as hard as the others, you know that's unfair but you can't complain about having a job in the first place. What would you do without it? After all, you need to provide for both yourself and your boyfriend.

But that's okay, people respect you so they only give you the quests they know you can handle. So far your job has never got you severely injured, just some scratches from time to time, Xiao helps you with them.

The ground below your feet vibrates and you can tell the Lawachurl is near you. They can be very heavy and loud, so you notice his presence before even seeing him. You have time to prepare for your attack and get your weapon ready before facing it.

It's a lot bigger than you remember. Their feet hit the ground so heavily the stone beneath him cracks. The Lawachurl looks so angry when they spot you, they change their direction and start walking towards you.

"Hey, big thing! Come get me!"

You tighten your grip on your spear.

You can do this!

"Quick, I don't have all day!" you say.

They jump high into the air and land where you were just a few seconds before, cracking the floor, letting the stones fly everywhere. Every hit into the ground is a mess of sand and stones flying at you. So far you're fine, just a few scratches can't stop you from fighting this thing, remember what Xiao taught you.

You attack him back and cut their arms and legs deep, but they still won't slow down their attacks. This one is indeed special, they are not even bothered by their injuries, instead, they only get angrier and hit the floor harder.

You run around trying to get close to him while avoiding his jump attacks. The floor beneath you is completely destroyed, this one is too powerful and they won't stop before they can smash you. You don't have that much stamina left to run, your legs get weak but theirs looks just fine as he lands another big hit on the ground making the stones rain over you.

At this point you can't avoid getting hit anymore, the scratches are now bigger cuts and the blood runs down your skin mixing with the dust.

You can't go anywhere near them. You'll need help if you want to get out of this alive.

You call Xiao, you need him now.

And there he is.

"Did you call for me?" Xiao says.

You don't have to answer, seeing you hurt he realizes what this is about. He doesn't have much time to check on you because the Lawachurl gets feral to see another enemy. The heavy stones fly everywhere and you don't have the strength to dodge them anymore, it hurts, a lot.

Xiao starts attacking the monster with much agility. His anemo power takes away the shield and from that point is much easier to kill them. You knew he could handle it just fine, but you're also sad you couldn't do it by yourself.

The creature falls to the ground completely defeated and Xiao returns to where you were. You were still standing on the same spot, trying to remain conscious as your head spins and your members feel like jelly.

"I'm happy you came." you say.

"It's my job to protect you." he gets close enough to touch you. "Come with me, let's treat your cuts."

He takes you by your hand but you don't move, you're afraid to fall if you do so.

"I wish I could be stronger, to not have to bother you with such small things. You had to come all the way just to kill this one Lawachurl..."

"You don't bother me, I told you it's my job-" he takes your head into his hands. "Your forehead is bleeding, are you okay?"

You touch your forehead and you can feel on your fingers the blood spilling, that's why it hurts so much. "Not really, can you take me to the hotel?" your voice is getting weaker.

"You need a doctor. Humans are weak, you need medical treatment to live." Xiao may not know much about humans, but he has watched many of them die, he's very aware of how delicate they can be.

"You're right." you try to take a step but instead, you trip on your foot and Xiao gets you before you hit the ground. There in his arms, you end up falling unconscious.

.

You wake up to Xiao staring at you in a creepy way. He looks like a ghost standing over you, looking at your face while you sleep.

You let out a scream and regret seconds later when you feel the pain in your head. You place your hand in it feeling the bandages. Xiao places his hand above yours.

"You're awake."

"Yes, I am now, you scared me!" you look at the window in your hotel room, it's already dark outside. "How long did I sleep?

"Just a few hours, I brought you to the hotel because you asked me. The doctor stitched you up but I was afraid you wouldn't wake up." he's still in the same position, towering over you in the bed, looking at your face. "I'm sorry I scared you."

"And I'm sorry for making you worry."

He nods his head telling you it's fine.

"About the thing you said, about becoming stronger... You don't need to do that." he takes your other hand. "I still want you to call me."

"But I don't want you to see me as just a weak human."

"I see you as the strongest human I know, but I still want to be there when you need me."

"Thank you Xiao, this means a lot to me."

Childe

You're alone at Childe's office at the Northland Bank waiting for him. He promised you he would be free this evening so you two could finally enjoy some time together, do the things you both love doing. You sit on his chair waiting for Childe to return from his fatui duties, trying to keep sane although you're really hungry. It was such a bad choice to come here on an empty stomach. Every time some of the bank employees knock at the door asking if you're fine you have to cover your nose and mouth, not to be too attracted by the smell of human blood.

Childe was supposed to be here in one hour, but he ends up taking two.

"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, it was an emergency-" Childe says as he enters his office. He doesn't have time to finish his sentence before you jump into his arms. "Wow, I didn't think you would be this excited to see me."

"I am. Being here alone in this office waiting for you all this time." you say, and go on your toes to reach his ear and whisper. "I am so so hungry right now."

Childe is horny 24/7 so you don't need to do much to turn him on. Just get close and whisper something in his ear, let your lips "accidentally" touch his skin slightly when you're talking and the ginger will be in heaven. You can say anything, literally, anything can make this boy turned on.

"That's really nice to know sweetie, but are you willing to get messy right here in my office?"

"I sure am." you run your fingers through Childe's neck, feeling his exposed pulsing veins, you can see the marks, the places you had pierced him with your fangs, they are not even completely healed yet. "Is this okay?"

"You don't need to ask that, you know I'm fine with it. I can't sleep thinking of you attached to someone else's neck. As long as we're together my blood is the only thing you're drinking, alright?"

"I'm always careful to not hurt you, but it seems like you enjoy the pain." you giggle. "I can see you're getting excited already."

"Really? My pulsing says so?"

"No, but your pants do."

"Don't worry, I will behave." Childe doesn't look the least ashamed by your lewd comment, your body still pressed on his, he tilts his neck slightly giving you silent permission to bite it.

You lick his sweet skin and savor his flavors, being noisy so he knows how much you like it. You take your time to prepare him before actually biting it, and when you do, he lets out this noise that's a mix of pain and pleasure.

"Try not to spill blood on my carpet this time, people might notice." He says. You don't need to answer him, just look at you, desperately attached to his neck biting and licking it all, not letting a single drop go by unnoticed. "You like this a lot, hum?"

"Feels so good." You finally say letting him go, wiping what's left on your mouth with the back of your hand.

"Alright, now that you've finished-" he takes your hands and leads you to his desk, pressing you against it. "Let me have some fun too."

Diluc

Imagine Diluc sitting on his armchair in the living room facing the fireplace while he's reading some important documents. He's trying to focus on the papers in his hands, but you keep distracting him with your puppy-like expression telling him you're hungry. He barely looks at you, you know it's on purpose, truth is he's not even that interested in those documents, he is only doing that to make you beg for his attention.

You wrap your arms around his shoulders from the back. "I'm so hungry, if only I had a handsome boyfriend with soft skin and juicy veins..."

"Hum..."

It didn't work so you do it from the front. You find yourself a sit on his lap and adjust your body so he can only look at you. "I told you I'm hungry, I really need your blood right now."

Diluc places his papers on the small table on his left side so he can have both of his hands free to wrap his arms around your waist, pulling you closer. Now that he's finally looking at you, he gives you a smirk "Is that so?"

"You were just sitting here looking all charming and I just couldn't resist it." You trail his neck with kisses as you talk. "Please, let me have some."

"You've been behaving so badly recently, I don't see why you deserve any."

"Please." you say, adding more 'e's than you should. "Please, just let me taste your blood, I promise I will do as you say. Besides, I can see you want this as bad as I do so stop acting like this is not affecting you."

"Are you really the same person that not long ago was crying and apologizing after you saw the marks you left on me?" Diluc smiles "But you're right, I can't say I don't enjoy having you so desperate to drink my blood."

"I can see you're enjoying it, a lot actually" You find a better position on his lap, his crotch pressed against your lower stomach. You can feel his bulge getting harder.

His eyes can't lie, you know he's really turned on right now.

"Go ahead." Diluc says.

His pulsing vein invites you to bite his pale neck. You don't need much preparation, he told you he can handle the pain so you don't have to worry about it.

He is so quiet during the whole process, you, on the other hand, make it noisy and messy. He's not complaining.

"I think you had enough." Diluc says that and you let go. You drank more than you should but It's his fault for teasing you so much. He better not test your limits again, or else you won't be able to control yourself. "Will you do as I say now?"

Author's Note:

It all taste bitter.

It finally caught up to you, and it wasn't a pleasant experience. You had been struggling through it for the past year, but you had finally felt everything. There was a surge of pain, then numbness. You were just too tired, too fucking tired. Is this what Diluc felt when he lost his father? worse, when he lost himself?

You were willing to do anything to fill the void of your monotonous life. Before the adventures, before him, before your vision, you were interested in matters your age are indulging in. You weren't pressured nor stressed with you life because you are pretty well off. Huge house, great life, and more. You simply desired something, but you weren't sure what it was supposed to be. Then it started to fall apart.

You were only ten when your curiosity drove you to take a sip of your mother's wine. Just a sip you said, copying your delightful mother after she had just lost her stillborn child.

You were thirteen when you smoked your first cigarette while watching the rain as you grieved for you Father's death. A mishap in one of the Knights' missions, he was far too deep. He got caught in the fire, you then hid your vision away. After all, everything you touched burned as you remember.

You were after the high to fulfill the boredom in your life, more of the pain. You knew your family was bound to find out soon, but then he appeared. Your grandfather stepped back into your home, your life. You observed the old man submerge his pain in the inebriating stuff after his daughter hang herself and he is now in charge of taking care of you. Your grandfather did it for the pain while you did it for the sake of mere entertainment, so you stopped.

Soon enough, the old man found his footing and moved on. You stopped and joined him. Your vision finally saw the light of the day. It had been far too long. The escapade distracted you enough to completely stop and lock away your stored booze and glory. It was liberating on your end, and these experiences made you feel alive. You began drinking orange juice again, and it felt great. Who knew you would miss the simple concoction of artificial flavor? Though the maid insisted that the fruit that was used is pure and fresh. You still could not grasp the obsession of people on new things. Then Diluc became something you always wanted...needed.

You knew him for so long, yet you had never set your eyes on him. He was just one dude, like everybody else. He was far too opposite to you, he was a ray of sunshine. Diluc loves his job, his family, and overall his life. He is a dashing knight of Favonious, and you were you. You are bloody mercenary who killed for the fun of it. He was a gentle flame, and you were a raging fire that swallows everything in your path until you are fully satisfied. But you were never satisfied.

I guess tragedy just likes to bite random people in the ass for no apparent reason, because Diluc soon lost everything which attracted you more. Maybe it's the danger? Danger attracts danger. He was lured to you, too vulnerable, too sad and you held him together. Fate gave a broken soul someone to look after for. You love him, so you did everything to put him back together even just for a few moments.

You put away everything, the blood, the killing, your vision, and became a whole different person. Someone approachable, someone lovable, someone that could actually help. If you were going to help him, you have to be something different. But little did he know, late at night, when everyone was finally asleep. You would crack open a bottle and indulge in your secret habit for a bit. Hangovers weren't something you had to bother with because you mastered the art of it. Nobody found out as they were too caught up in their own shit that no one questioned how much disregard you were showing for you life. People didn't give two shits about your deteriorating mental health while even you were unaware of it.

You had been sober for longer than you would like while dealing with things that you would rather not. The stormterror attacks had forced you to participate in the patrols alongside the increasing number of monster camps. These days could only get worse and worse, not to mention Diluc's nightly activities. He likes to play hero, but at least he is good at it. He knows of your vision, you know of his play, yet you were still together until the end of the day.

Then the traveler came...what was her name again? Lumine? Your 'partner', 'lover' if he even is at this point is quite enticed by the blonde haired petite beauty. Even you had your eyes on her. Not to mention, Kaeya the playboy who truly never had affections for anyone also did the same. Let's just say, you had been hanging around with the drunkard (as if you're not drunk as well) only to discuss about the anomaly with a beautiful name that is Lumine. Little did you know, Diluc felt deep anxiety with your closeness to his 'former' brother. You were too tired to clean up the misunderstanding, so you let it fester. You are a hypocrite though, as you felt immense jealousy as Diluc followed that girl around. Can't really blame him, you were quite busy nowadays.

Soon enough, you had ended up on the floor, propped up against his bedroom wall after falling on your ass. You were staying at Diluc's, he hasn't come home yet with all that heroic ways of his. It was also one of these days, so you had been drinking for 3 hours straight. You tried to stand up in your state, and though you almost failed, you made it back up to his bed. You took a deep breath, eyeing the ceiling while your vision swirled. Your thoughts scrambled as you fought the urge to fall asleep. Where did everything go wrong? You sighed, letting out a slight groan of frustration. You reached for his bedframe, standing up too fast in the process.

You couldn't fucking wait to pass out completely and lose your mind. You swayed to you side, clutching onto the wall. "I'll definitely feel this tomorrow." You half-grunted pushing pass through the dread crippling through you, nearly knocking over the shelf next to the bed. You simply gave up, and plopped down the bed. You couldn't bother anymore. You were just tired.

You didn't hear the sound of the door creaking open, you were too distracted by your drunkenness to contemplate why there was someone at the door, but you did know it was Diluc. He took a halt eyeing you from a far as you sat up and grabbed a bottle from seemingly nowhere. " You're drunk? Were you with Kaeya- "

You rested your head in your hand as you slowly shook the bottle in the other. Shaking your head, he watched the color contents of the liquor. You almost forgot how everything was spinning. Diluc clenched his teeth, staring blankly at the wall and then you took another sip. "How dark is it in your mind?" You muttered under your breath, finally finding the courage to stare back at him. Your eyes filled with questionable love and desire underneath all the pain and darkness. " because mine is pretty dark right now. It had always been but I tried my best. I just can't anymore. " You swallowed harshly, drowning in your thoughts. This time was different though, because you were already drunk and out of your mind. "How can I sleep when you're awake? What's the point of dreaming?" You care too much, or maybe not enough.

Diluc froze while he can only watch you mutter to yourself as you were stuck in your own train of thoughts. He had never seen you break down like this before. You had always been composed, and excited...not dark, dull and gloomy. Not to mention you were holding that bottle with practice ways so it would not fall even when you are drunk. " How long? " he asked, it seems as if you're experienced in these ways... experienced in being in pain. Is that why you understand him so well? Then how come he never knew?

" Since I was small, even before my father died. " You answered, fully unbothered by the words that had just came out of your mouth. If you were going to help him, you might as well be honest before you break it off. " I'm sorry, Diluc. I'm just so tired at this point. Isn't she lovely though? She could be your everything. " You continued, your voice strained as you let out sobs every now and then. " I'm really sorry. " yet you cannot comprehend what you were apologising for. You just know that you are wrong, for pushing yourself. At least when this whole thing ends, you would be free, right? But you love him-

Diluc couldn't bare watching your pity party any longer. He then approached you with hasty steps, before gently removing the almost empty bottle from your grasp. This man truly loves you, and he trusts you whether you don't trust him or not. " Y/N, hold on for a moment- Let's get you all fixed up. " He muttered softly, ignoring the way you stared dumbly at him. You didn't know why he was still being nice to you, after all you lied to him- you're not some pitch perfect melody, you're mess- How can Diluc love a mess? He's so perfect, he can't possibly-

You were so hesitant in giving him the bottle as you were very confused. Diluc did not care though because he leaned in and kissed you, ignoring the taste of alcohol that he had always despised. He didn't care because you needed it, you needed him. You need the comfort and the love. You need it more now, and he is always willing to give you that. " Y/N, look at me. " His voice never wavered, he gently held you in place with those lovingly eyes that made you felt immense guilt. " I love you. I love you so much and I know you feel the same. Whatever all this is, we'll talk about it tomorrow when you wake up, okay? I trust you. I know you didn't do anything wrong, I'm sorry I thought less of you. You are my everything and no one else. Tomorrow we'll talk. Now hush, you can sleep. No one will harm you. I'm right here. " He's right though. Diluc always knew you are always there for him, and he would always do the same. " I love you too. " Maybe today wouldn't be so bitter after all.

Author's Note:

I just felt angsty, and I haven't slept for a while so that probably caused the immense big sad. 🤌 ( It has been 3 days, I need a nap. )

This year, kids and adults, give their precious items to the Mingxiao Lantern in celebration and thanks to Skybracer. To say it’s lively is an understatement for sure. You on the other hand, well let’s just say you were having a hard time engaging in the festive mood. You sit next to the large vaneity fussing with your hair for the hundredth time,trying to get the perfect messy bun. You couldn’t even start on the hair ornaments until your hair was ready; that perfect mix of ‘high-style’ and ‘oh, I just threw my hair up.’ Except it wasn’t happening and you were starting to get frustrated with it and yourself. You decide to take a break from your hair and focus on your face. Carefully, you grab the face powder and apply it to your face before moving to decorate around your eyes. The mirror, which was designed to help only mocked you. ‘Do you think you should choose that color?’ ‘Nothing you do is going to cover that blemish.’ ‘It’s a good thing you are going at night, it’ll be harder to see what you look like.’ Don’t cry - don’t do it. The chiming clock pulls you back together. Only have an hour before it’s time to meet up with Amber. Below, the sounds of patrons excitedly rush towards the harbor, eager to make their Xiao lanterns and release their joys into the night sky. Looking back at yourself in the mirror you think, It’s not so bad. At least I don’t have to look at myself, before lifting yourself from your seat and grabbing the outfit Amber helped you pick out the day before.

With ten minutes to spare you gaze at yourself one last time in the vanity mirror. The room has gotten darker and you think if everyone could see you this way, shaded and not in direct light, they’d call you pretty. The dress fits just right and you feel a surge of confidence. At least you accept your body for what it is. In fact, you find this dress flattering in it’s own way - good job, Amber.

A knock at the door tells you it’s time to brave the streets of Liyue. Your heart quickens as you grab your belongings and greet the smiling Outrider at the door.

Diluc - when you’re jealous

You knew Diluc had eyes only for you, and you never doubted this fact. However, whenever he had to hold grandiose banquets, you couldn’t say that your heart wasn’t twisting in jealousy whenever a nobleman was trying, yet again, to haul their daughters at Diluc’s feet, asking him to talk to them. Oh, how much you hated how obediently he’d reply with an immediate yes, shooting you a look that screamed “Please understand I have to do this”, before striking up a conversation with them.

Did he really have to give them his smiles, his smiles that were sending butterflies to your stomach and that were making you melt? Of course, he was just only being polite: his smiles were his usual charming ones, and the conversations were painfully boring and official, yet it still bothered you that they were trying to win him over.

Part of you understand those actions, yet you still wanted to tell him how down you felt during all this time, and that you’d like it if he made it a little bit more known that he was taken.

As soon as he’d hear how his actions were making you feel, his eyes would widen in surprise, a wave of guilt washing over his body. He only had eyes for you, and not even for a single second did he think about anybody else.  He didn’t realize how his actions might have affected you, and while an explanation and a simple apology might have sufficed to ease your heart, he felt in wasn’t enough. In that moment, words felt so unnecessary, so mundane, and his only wish would be to hold you, to hold you in his arms, to squeeze you so close to his heart that your mind could never be clouded by any doubts.

In an instant, his arms would be around you, pulling you into a warm, impetuous embrace: one moment ago, he was right in front of you, in the next moment, you were succumbing to his arms.

He’d keep you there, with him, for one second, then for two, then for three, until his musky scent and burning warmth were taking over your senses, dulling any pain that you might’ve felt for the moment. His arms were a cradle of warmth, and you could feel how his muscles were contracting around you each time he was squeezing you closer.

And you almost forgot - you almost forgot about the pangs of jealousy, about any complaint that you had, and you wrapped your hands around him, burying your face into his neck, listening to his heretic heartbeats that seemed to sing a unanimous ‘I love you’.

For him, feelings tended to be either black or white – all or nothing – and anything in-between would be reduced to one of the extremes. For this reason, in this very moment, he felt devastated: his breath was uneven, his heart was racing with anxiety, and, above everything else, he felt disappointed with himself: disappointed that he made you feel bad for even the split of a second, disappointed that he didn’t make you understand that his heart was yours.

Plunging the silence that was looming between you, Diluc ran his hand through your hair, and, with an apologetic tone, imbued with a hint of melancholy, he’d whisper “I only have feelings for you, my love.”

My love. You’d almost gasp, a wave of goosebumps running down your spine. He always kept this word for special occasions, and he always meant it when he used it.

With a slight pause between his words, he’d continue: “I apologize for causing you any doubt. It won’t happen again. “ Holding onto you as if his whole life depended on it. He wouldn’t be able to let you go until you’d reassure him that everything is fine.

You whispered into his chest over and over that everything is fine, his heartbeat getting steadier and steadier with each one of your words. You knew that he was finally starting to relax once his hug started to get looser, his fingers running up and down your spine in a soothing motion. Neither one of you dared to let go for a very long while.

At the next banquet, Diluc will definitely announce your relationship to everybody.
