“I’m Much More Better Than Your Plushie.” [Genshin Impact]

no thoughts, head empty, just Columbina & Arlecchino

heyy so im kinda new to the whole requesting shabang but i wanted to try it out so um can i ask for headcanons for hu tao and xiao with a lover who constantly praises them? i just want to shower these bbys with love

S/o who praises Hu tao, Xiao

characters: hu tao, xiao

updates: IVE BEEN SO INACTIVE IM SO SORRY!!!

warnings: none!! flufff

Hu tao

she’s obsessed

her mischievous and prankster personality comes to a halt when you praise her

her brain just stops

*trying to process praise*

eventually she becomes more adjusted to your constant praise

and she loves hearing you say all these nice things to her

even though she may be a little hard to get along with

she adores hearing these silly words that makes her face warm up

will definitely praise or tease you back, as a small little revenge

regardless to how nice you are you’re not free from her pranks and scares

though if you tell her how amazing she is at what she does she might freeze up

i feel like praise towards her personality is something she gets a little shy about

hu tao? shy??? but how!?!?!!

a lot of people avoid hu tao because of how she is, and basically her personality right?

to be honest she probably doesn’t care so much

but when you come into the picture and tell her how attractive her personality is and that’s she’s a good person

hu tao is left speechless at your words

don’t worry, she adores it <3

praise + hu tao = pure uncontrollable happiness

it’s so cute pls marry this girl :(

Xiao

🙏… im praying for you

oh this boy

when you two meet and you say something nice towards him, at first he’s like

“tch. Save your meaningless words.”

pls don’t let this get to you

he likes the praise, he doesn’t know how to process it though

keep praising him and he gets confused

at some point you might need to explain what he’s feeling for him!!

it’s a long path because he’s not used to praise or compliments

or anything nice, really

your kind words is a whole other world for him

and he’s grateful once he gets the hang of it

when he gets used to it, he doesn’t reply with anything to your praise

but what i can promise is that he will definitely get flustered ehe

sometimes he’ll stare at you with wide eyes and a huge blush on his face if you say something especially nice

he holds in that giddy feeling of you praising him

but he grows to love the feeling after understanding

he couldn’t ask for a more supportive and kind lover <3

𓄷 childe 𖤐

this dork has been in love with you for as long as he could remember.

he'd always slip you notes during classes, even though he'd know the two of you would most likely to get caught.

during breaks he'd sit with you, no matter where you decided to hang out.

sitting outside under the large tree ? he'd let you rest your head on his lap and play with your hair.

hiding in the library ? he'd hide with you, although he's not a big fan of the place.

sitting on the benches in the sports field ? he'd get jealous that you're looking at the other male students playing.

but he wouldn't say a word about it.

instead, he'd just tease you about it and laugh at your embarrassment.

but he knew that he'd have to tell you his feelings one day.

and this day came faster than you had expected it to be.

since the prom was coming up, he thought he'd confess by asking you to be his date.

"are we there yet ?" your voice echoed through the empty halls as childe lead you somewhere with his hands over his eyes to cover your vision. "impatient, are we ?" he let out a soft, teasing chuckle while keeping his hands on your eyes. "but childe," a pout formed on your lips as you whined playfully. "you know that i hate surprises." which was true, and he also knew it. however, he couldn't find another way to do it. soon enough, you sensed that the two of you were outside due to the wind blowing gently through your hair.

"i am well aware." the ginger responded with a grin forming on his lips before finally removing his hands from your eyes. you found yourself standing in front of the large tree where you two had met years ago. he was the new boy back then, he got lost and found you, you gave him a tour and gave him a warm welcome to the school - and that's how a beautiful friendship was formed.

just then your gaze fell upon a sign that was hanging on the tree.

"prom ?"

it said. your eyes widened in surprise, turning to face the man almost immediately.

"is that a yes ?"

"of course !"

"i love you, (y/n)."

... "i love you too, childe."

𓄷 hu tao 𖤐

this little prankster had probably realized her feelings for you when she watched you interact with an upperclassman.

the shameful feeling of jealousy clung to her chest, but she quickly brushed it off.

you weren't hers yet.

but she wanted you to be hers.

and so she came up with a brilliant idea.

she'd confess to you in halloween.

whilst trick or treating.

"come on, (y/n) !" the female let out, huffing playfully as she waited for you to get ready. the two of you had matching customs - which were mainly her idea. the girl dressed up as the devil, twirling around in her brand new, black dress; while you were dressed up as an angel. your white outfit had suited your curved perfectly, and she was quick to admire it. she also thought an angel suited you. after all, you were kind and considerate. you were the only person who tolerated her and still stuck in with her.

a soft chuckle escaped from her lips, causing the tips of her ears to turn into a dark shade of pink. she found your chuckle attractive - but if she were more honest with herself, she'd say that anything about you was absoloutely breathtaking and endearing. "come on, i don't want to be late ! i still need to pull pranks on people." the brunette pouted, causing you to roll your eyes playfully.

"alright, alright." you responded shortly to calm her down, feeling as her hand grabbed onto yours before dragging you all the way to the school. why ? because the staff promised a spooky party; and hu tao would never be the one to miss out on spooky things.

when the two of you approached the school, you could sense the sudden change in hu tao's aura. she was far more cheerful than usual, her eyes glimmered in the moonlight, reflecting the light from the moon. you shook your hand, being dragged inside. the female knew she had to confess at some point, and so she decided to do it here. sure, it'll be awkward if you were to reject her- but, at least it wouldn't hurt as much.

"reach into my basket." she hummed, handing out to you her basket - which was filled with candies even before you got an attempt to help her with it. your eyes widened in confusion, and yet you listened to her, slipping your fingers into the basket. your fingers soon brushed against a piece of paper, which you had soon picked up.

hu tao felt her heart bursting out of her chest when she watched you silently reading the confession later she had written you just a couple of hours ago.

"i like you a lot, please be mine. - hu tao."

what an adorable dork.

𓄷 kazuha 𖤐

the two of you had become friends due to the fact that you were in the same afterschool club.

you've decided to join the martial arts club of the school whilst he was the leader.

you've admired how strong he was; probably the strongest student in school.

and you've found it pretty cool that no one dared to mess with him because of it.

and then there's him - he liked you because you were brave.

like wow, you wanted to spar with him every week ? admirable.

but he'd always refuse because he didn't want to hurt you.

"we'll spar when you become a bit stronger."

and so you started learning harder.

it made his flutter, that you care so much about the club.

"let's spar now, kazuha !" you greeted the man this afternoon upon entering the club room. the male was holding a papersheet in his hands, his head was seemingly buried in it. what was he reading ? but then his head jerked up once he heard your voice. "are you sure ?" he asked, raising his brow. he was unsure at first, but the excitment in your eyes made him flustered for a mere second.

"i am sure, i'll be fine." you reassured him, squeezing his shoulder gently in the process. you then made your way towards the center of the room; getting ready by stretching yourself before standing in the intial fighting position. kazuha was hesitant for a moment, but ended up giving in the more you insisted. he then stood in front of you before with a sigh. "let's test your self defense skills."

kazuha has seemingly underestimated his own strength, seeing as you fell onto the ground after he swung his leg towards you. a soft groan escaped from your lips, the male immediately rushing to your side. "i-i'm sorry." he began to speak frantically. "i didn't mean to harm you. i- i love you."

you opened your mouth to protest, to tell him you were fine. but; you froze when you had suddenly processed his sudden confession. it seemed like he too, caught onto that - his face immediately turning red. "anyways," he coughed out, his eyes refusing to meet yours. "let's work on you self defense skills."

𓄷 diluc 𖤐

now, this is a tricky one.

this man is stone-cold, and somehow you managed to befriend him.

all because he was your partner in a school project.

the two of you sat in his house and worked on the project - you were a bit more talkative than he was.

he would usually respond with nods and hums.

somehow, the more you spent time with him - the more he grew closer to you.

he soon realized that he was in love with you; especially when he had a weird, unexplainable feeling inside of him when he was around you.

the two of you had another project, this time each student alone. however, he decided to help you.

what you didn't expect though, was the confession in the end.

"here is your work, (y/n)." diluc approached you in the morning, holding a small book containing your work in his hands. "thank you, diluc. i hope this wasn't a burden for you." you responded, smiling gently as you took the book into your hands. you were rather curious - though you wrote most of it - there were parts that he himself wrote as a way to help you.

your fingers trailed across the small book before opening it, your eyes scanning the papersheets. it was neatly printed; you were impressed. your computer was slow, thus it was a hassle to attempt. thankfully, due to being born into a wealthy family - he had countless of ways to print.

your eyes wandered across the content within, impressed by the information he had found himself. soon enough you reached the ending, a small note slipping out into your lap. your brow was raised in a questioning manner while the red haired man tensed. "what's wrong ?" you hummed, opening the note. to say that what was written there had surprised you was an understatement. it made you freeze in your spot, your face heating up.

"(y/n), will you go out with me ? - diluc."

Reblog if you think asexuality is a real thing that actually exists.

I'm trying to prove something.

Ayaka Realizing She May Have A Crush On The Traveler/Reader: (Headcanons)

WARNING: MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS FOR AYAKA'S STORY QUEST!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNING!!

As Ayaka begins to slowly make her way back to the Kamisato Estate, she couldn't help but smile a little as she thinks just how wonderful her day had been. Though the two of you had spent a simple day together, Ayaka still marveled at how many precious memories the two of you had managed to make together in such a short amount of time

While she had often imagined what it would be like to experience a festival in person, she knew it would never be possible for someone like her. Both Ayaka herself and the Kamisato name were far too well known to allow for such unruly public conduct. It wouldn't be proper etiquette for someone of her social standing to walk around and enjoy the festival as though she were just some ordinary girl and not the eldest daughter of the Kamisato Clan.

Or at least that's what she thought until she met you. While the day had started out with the two of you simply trying to find her mother's old friend, Ayaka never knew just how many new wonders she would get to experience in just a single day. (A day which seemed to end a bit too quickly for her liking).

From eating pizza together, to telling each other your fortunes as the festival came to an end, it had been a very long time since she had last felt so free; and it had been largely thanks to your company that made the day so enjoyably memorable.

As the moon began to slowly reach its peak, and the two of you said your goodbyes before going your separate ways, Ayaka comes to an immediate halt when she hears you softy humming the music she sang when she graced you with her impromptu dance. And for what feels like the millionth time that day, Ayaka once again attempts to stop her heart from beating so quickly as the moments with you seemed to replay endless as she walks home.

Your smile as the two of you began eating together at Kiminami Restaurant and how you showed Anna the recipe for pizza without ever wanting or expecting a reward in return. How the two of you fought together against the thevies who stole from the International Trade Association. How you were there for her when she read her mother's journal and how you reassured her that her desire to be seen as simply "Ayaka" rather then "Ayaka the Shirasagi Himegimi " wasn't selfish or irresponsible.

As Ayaka stopped to glaze up at the moon, she realized she wanted to see you again. She wanted to experience what life was like by your side. She wanted to see the festivals of other lands and taste the foods they make, to tell you of her true feelings and to share her burdens with you and to offer you the same comfort in return.

It was the first time she had ever felt this way so she couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Perhaps it would be best to simply start small and invite you to Komore Teahouse for some tea and hotpot should you be willing

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

Really surprised by how much I like Ayaka. Most stuff I write takes me a few days, but I started and finished this in only a few hours

HUGS MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER.

characters: mona, hu tao, fischl.

anon said: Hello! May I request Mona, Hu Tao, and Fischl with an s/o who asks for a hug when they're upset? Gender neutral reader, please! :)

warnings: reader having a bad day.

love note: sometimes you just need hug, and that's okay! I know these sweeties would give amazing hugs and help you feel better. I hope you all enjoy!

ੈ♡‧➝ MONA

What? Of course Mona didn't use her astrology powers to see how your day would go, that would be... ridiculous... ahem, she's already got open arms when you enter the home!

Her hugs are gentle, and make you feel at peace, calming your racing heart and watering eyes.

She'll kiss the top of your head/cheek/wherever she can, and squeeze you for a second. She'll hug you for as long as you need, whether it be five seconds or five hours.

You trudge through the door, head hung low and heart heavy with sorrow from the long, terrible day you had. You sniffle, trying hard not to cry. "Mona, could I have a hug?" You ask, lifting your head and seeing she's already got her arms open. You relax a bit already, walking over and falling into her embrace. "How'd you know?"

"I know everything," She states matter-of-factly, her heart sinking as you bury your face into the crook of her neck. "Well, almost everything... Do you want to talk about it?" She asked, and you shake your head, hugging her tighter.

"No," you mumble, "can we just stay here, like this, for a little longer?" Mona hums, pressing a kiss to your temple.

"Of course, my starlight." She whispers against your temple, before tightening her hug. She rubs small circles into your back, allowing you to cry if you need— it's not healthy to hold in your emotions, Mona let you know this once before, so if you need to cry she hopes you'll allow yourself to do so.

At some point you pull away, sniffling and smiling weakly. "Thank you, Mona." You take her hands and a pink hue dusts her cheeks. "Let's go to bed now," Mona agrees, following you to the bedroom. She makes sure to cuddle you the entire night, and her mind doesn't cease until she's planned out tomorrow— she plans on taking you out on a cute date.

ੈ♡‧➝ FISCHL

Fischl will frown when she notices your saddened mood, and when you ask for a hug? She'll agree instantly (a soft blush on her features as she holds you)!

Her hugs are tight, nearly breath-takingly so! She'll apologize if she notices and loosen her grip, but her hugs are still so tight, and protective, you'll definitely feel safe in her arms!

Fischl isn't sure what happened, and she won't push you to tell her, but if you want to then she'll be there to listen— she knows what it's like when people don't listen, so she's always ready to lend a listening ear!

"Fischl?" Your voice is quiet, nearly inaudible, but she hears and turns around, a giant smile at seeing you however it's quick to fade when she sees your head hanging and a troubled look on your face. "Could you... could you hug me?"

Her eyes widen, a small pink blush taking place on her cheeks. A hug? From her? She takes quick strides to where you are and hugs you tightly, wrapping her arms around you and squeezing warmly. "You seem troubled, but worry for naught, for I, Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, am but a great listener, for if thou shall need to speak of such troubles, I will lend thou an ear."

"I don't really wanna talk about it right now, is it okay if we just hug a bit longer?" She nods meekly, her grip tightening but you don't mind, it feels warm and safe, and it's not too suffocating this time! You chuckle at the thought of past hugs with Fischl, your worries slowly fading away after hugging her and remembering better times.

She smiles softly at your little laugh, although she doesn't ask what brought it upon you, instead she remains hugging you until you pull away and smile gently at her, although she can still something is troubling you, she can tell it's less so thanks to the affection. "Thank you, Fischl."

"But of course, it shan't do for me to leave you in such a state! Thou hast my fullest attention!" She puts her hand over her heart, an earnest and sincere look in her eyes. She doesn't plan on leaving your side till she knows for a fact that you're back to your usual self.

ੈ♡‧➝ HU TAO

Hu Tao won't notice that you're upset at first, in her usual playful attitude until your voice cracks as you ask for a hug, no longer able to keep up pretending to be fine.

Her hugs are so warm, and she has a hard time letting go once she's started hugging you! She won't let go until she knows you're feeling better, she can't stand someone so close to her feeling like this!

Hu Tao will try and crack jokes to also try and get your mind off of whatever is upsetting you, although how affective they are depends on your sense of humor!

Hu Tao laughed at her own joke, when she stopped, noticing you were no longer by her side. "Huh? Y/n, what are you doing?" She turned around to see you standing there, unable to meet her eyes although she could see tears glistening in yours and she felt a pang of guilt for not noticing earlier. "Ah, is everything okay?"

"Hu Tao... Can you hug m-" You don't even finish your sentence, her arms wrapped around you tightly, she nearly knocking you both over but instead twirling. You sniffle, and if you need to cry, she allows you, not saying a word as you two hug.

She'll begin cooing, pulling away and looking you in the eyes, cupping your cheeks. "What's wrong? Did something happen— should I get the funeral parlor a new customer?" You chuckle, shaking your head and wiping at your eyes.

"No, I just... it's been a long day," You mumble, deciding to tell her later what was upsetting you, knowing if you tell her now you'll only grow more upset and possibly start crying. "Can we go home? I'm a bit tired."

"Of course!" She intertwines her fingers with yours, pressing a cheeky kiss to your hand before heading towards the shared home. She keeps checking on you, and trying to tell jokes; some of them land, others not exactly, but either way, you're happy you've got the jokester with you, to help lighten your mood!

Hu Tao with an s/o that died

- gender neutral

- TW: death, angst, not proofread

- Notes: this is just a little practice and maybe a sort of a part 2 of another post (also contains leaks from Hu tao’s vision story if you haven’t read it already)

Part 1

Hu Tao

She’s seen lot of deaths and experienced a few but never had she ever thought that’s he would have to experience yours, reminding her of her grandfather and when he passed. She wonders what she could have done to prevent this and Old Hu’s death. She hates this and wonders why it couldn’t have been her that had to depart from this life, wanting to take your place so you could have lived happily despite her being gone.

Despite your death she manages to put on a happy demeanor to cover the pain that was imprinted onto her after having to experience the pain from seeing you dead. She does however conduct your funeral with the help of your family (she tries to make it with everything you liked). She sits front row at the funeral, despite how much she tries to stop crying she can’t, she can’t bare to not mourn your death.

After having the funeral she keeps some of your stuff with her as a memory of you, sometimes she would even go to where you had to your first date or where you first met and would just find a place to sit or whatever and remember all the fun time she had with you. (Also taking into consideration that she probably has some sort of ptsd from seeing you dead). Nightmares keep her up at night because of everything to the point you could see dark circles and eye bags under her eyes if she didn’t cover them good with makeup. Even then she still manages to keep a happy facade, like you wanted her to. (She probably doesn’t move on after a while though)

hi! could i request a Hu Tao x fem! reader fic where Hu Tao realizes she has feelings for the reader and tries to confess? thank you!

How do I tell her? [Hu Tao x Fem!Reader]

Ofc!! Hope this is okay 🥰

“Little miss Hu Tao? You have been acting strange lately, is everything alright?”

“Of course not Mr Zhongli! I’m sick!” Her hands flapped around, feet padding against the wooden floorboards. Her mind was running a mile a minute, your smile only being the thing she pictured in the back of her mind.

“Oh? Is it contagious?”

Xingqui’s laugh cut through her thoughts. “Hahah, not that kind of sick. she’s got the case of love.”

Zhongli coughed, readjusting his tie as he sighed. “I see, we’ll I have no experience in that department I’m afraid.” Making his way back to his desk to continue some paperwork.

“Expected.”

Hu Tao flopped onto the floor, her hands covering her bright red face as her friends laughed at her suffering. Picking and prying at her to tell them all her feelings while she tried to contain her rapid beating heart.

“So…. [Name] huh?”

“Shut it!”

“Come on Tao! You gotta tell us about her!”

She sighed, sitting up as she crossed her legs. The group of trouble makers cheered, sitting down to join her as they new she was going to spill out all her adoration.

“Jeez, where do I start. She’s just too I don’t know, perfect!”

Xianling nudged Chounyun’s shoulder as she wiggled her eye brows, the three of them stared at the love struck funeral parlour director. They were happy, it was about time she fell in the spiral of love.

Maybe, just maybe they could catch a break from her little pranks if she had someone to keep her in line.

“Start from the beginning, where do you two meet?”

Hu Tao smiled, not even having to think about it since she remembered every second the two of you spent together.

“She was walking back from the harbour before she dropped some of her belongings, of course I went over to help since I’m very polite!”

The group nodded sarcastically, nudging each other as they laughed. She wined, she was nice! Why else would she help people burry their loved deceased ones?

“Okay okay, what happened next?”

She sighed, resting her head in her palm as she stared out into the window. She remembered the smile you gave her as she handed you your stuff, your face was just breathtaking. The most perfect one she has ever seen all across Liyue.

“Her smile? Just perfect, and and and our hands touched! Her hands were so soft, the most delicate fingers too!”

“Uh huh? What else?”

“Oh! And her hair! How could I forget! It looked so beautiful! It really framed her face so well! How could someone just be so perfect.”

Her pupils were basically hearts at this point, the deeply smile really told the group what they needed to know.

“Wow Hu Tao, your in love love.”

“Double love.”

“Mhm mhm”

She shook her head, trying to shake away the thoughts of you that crowded her mind. Fingers coming up to run through her hair while she sighed.

“Love huh?”

They nodded, watching as she fell back with a squeal. Her face was as red as a pyro slime, probably as hot as one too at the thought of being with you.

“If this is what love feels like, I don’t want it to end.”

“Well you have to tell her girl!”

“Yes! Confess your undying love just like all those love novels i have shown you!”

“You two would make a good couple.”

She sat up, her eyes wide as she stared at her friends as if they were crazy.

“Confess?! What! I cant do that! What if, what if she doesn’t like me back.”

“Uhh Tao?”

“I mean [Name] is just so perfect! Too perfect for this world.” Hands covering her ears as she rolled around on the floor, blocking out her friends voices as you took over her thoughts.

“Hey… Hu Tao”

“Like she’s just amazing! You guys don’t understand how much I like her! But I don’t know if she likes me back!”

“Well uhm, you’re about to find out.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

She sat up, her eyes drifting in the direction her friends were looking. Face turning as white as a ghost as she saw what they were referring too.

“G-good morning Hu Tao, did you forget you invited me over today? Sorry for interrupting.”

There you stood, hands shaking while you held a basket full of fresh fruit you must have picked for this occasion.

Your gaze was looking at your feet, avoiding Hu Tao’s that were staring at your face with wide eyes.

“O-oh hey [Name], how are.. how are you doing?”

Suddenly she was pulled up and pushed in your direction, looking back to Xianling who grabbed the others and walked for the other door. “Nows your time!”

She watched as her friends left, pulling Zhongli up by the arm and taking him with them.

She was sweating, doing everything she could to not look at you. Her hands gripping onto the hem of her shirt as she whistled.

“Did you mean it?”

“Hmm?”

She finally mustered up the courage to look you in your eyes, seeing you look at her with a nervous look.

“That you like me, did you mean that?”

She sighed, hand on her neck while she wiping the sweat her forehead before sighed.

‘You’re too deep in now, no point hiding it anymore.’

“Yes, I did. I really like you [Name], a lot.”

The nerves made her body tingle, anxiously waiting for your response with anticipation.

She saw you open your mouth before closing it, debating on what you wanted to say. Oh no, is she going to say no?

You stepped forward, your face being right in front of hers as you smiled. “Of course I like you, in fact I was going to tell you today actually.”

She watched as you brought your hand to her face, fingers holding her cheeks delicately as you brought your face closer to place a soft kiss on top of her nose.

You smiled, pulling away as you watched Hu Tao blush. Her cheeks were a bright rosy red as she gave you a derpy smile, too in love to respond.

“Would you want to.. I don’t know, go on a picnic somewhere?” You asked, bringing the food up to show her all the fruit you brought.

“Yes! Let’s go to Wuwang hill! They have loads of cool things there! Come one lets go!” Grabbing you hand, she pulled you along the streets of Liyue. Both of you smiling as you ran your way to your date spot, both as happy as could be in this moment.

They all watched as you guys ran, smiling as they watched her friend finally find the love she deserved.

“When are you going to get a girlfriend old man?”

Zhongli sighed, making his way back inside to finish his work.

“Not any time soon.”

featuring yelan, kuki shinobu, scaramouche, lumine and aether, + ayaka x gn reader | au scenarios! pls rb if u enjoyed! [cw for hanahaki au and zombie au]

links send an ask or req here and read more fics here !!

yelan — casino au

the beautiful woman who sits at the table, flipping three five dollar chips between her fingers, is notorious for spending all of her paycheck for the month in one go and either losing it all or bleeding the house dry. as an employee of the casino and the dealer of the table, it's your job to make sure she's not cheating.

still, lately she's been on a peculiar losing streak. any self respecting gambler who doesn't have a death wish would get up and choose another table, or maybe even another casino due to how badly she's doing. but instead she sticks around with a serene expression and a seemingly unlimited amount of money.

you shuffle the deck for the last time before your shift ends and notice yelan turning out her pockets, only to find them empty. she sighs and stands up, giving you a wink goodbye before her friend joins her and they start to leave. "why did you stick around for so long?" they ask, puzzled. yelan sighs, flipping a lock of hair behind her ear. "the dealer was so cute, i just couldn't help it ... "

the next time you get off your shift (a week later, one week of you waiting for her to show up so you can ask her out), she approaches you with a pair of dice in hand and with a smirk, challenges you to a game of blackjack. "if i win, you go on a date with me, and if you win — " you interrupt her, matching her mischievous look as you offer your question. "am i allowed to lose purposefully?

kuki shinobu — hanahaki au

she's happy that you have a new boyfriend who packs you bentou box lunches (with the same agidashi tofu and kappamaki she pushed down thoughts of making for you) and goes on walks with you and spends free time on cute fun dates that shinobu will never get to experience. really, she is.

just, it's a little hard to consistently acknowledge and reply to your delighted chatter about the newest adorable habit that your boyfriend has when she's constantly trying not to cough up piles of pink flower petals into her mask. she swallows them down the best she can and holds her breath, looking away to hide her watery eyes.

"why can't you ever be happy for me?" you demand, arms crossed over your chest. "i don't need you anyway, but i just thought my friend would be glad that i finally found someone who loves me!" unable to speak, she stands there like a statue until you finally leave in a huff.

that's when she decides she's doing more harm than good by staying around you. she steals away during the night so she can choke on the flowers without you having to see, and in the morning when you find her she'll be clutching a note in hurried handwriting spotted with red that tells you everything. pink petals spilled across it.

scaramouche — streamer au

resident starter of bs in the fanbase for the role playing game genshin impact, scaramouche never wastes time filming his newest videos on scandals around voice actors, streamers, and every other kind of drama that he could possibly stir up. everyone hates him, but everyone still watches his videos. partly for his content — which people claim to look down on, but actually are deeply invested in — and partly for his voice ...

owner of an incredibly popular leak and datamine channel that gives advice on building, quest priority, who to pull for, and everything else about genshin, you're beloved within the community as a big sibling of sorts to both veteran and new players. (thanks to your many supporters and your sheer amount of viewers who got into genshin because of you, you've also avoided a ton of incidents where your account was nearly deleted by hoyoverse for leaking, but that's another story.)

you two are basically polar opposites, and no one's ever seen you interacting before. but then a well known streamer (username @t4rt4rj4xx, a name that's come up many many times in scaramouche's videos) posts a series of photos of you and scaramouche on a date together.

"i think you're all forgetting about who this channel is focusing on. anyone but me, morons. but ... yeah, me and y/n are dating, and what's it to you?" / "scaramouche? yup, i know him. we're a lot closer than he'll make it seem, i'm sure. oh? he's already publicly confirmed we're dating? hahaha! scara, you big softie~!"

lumine and aether — zombie apocalypse au

drifting from reality to reality, the twins explore each world before moving onto the next. it's always been easy for them with their limitless abilities — but they never expected to come across a planet overrun by zombies. creepy, shuffling creatures that almost take lumine's head off within the first two minutes, only being saved thanks to you, who shot the zombie with a crossbow right at the last second.

they would be fully prepared to abandon this world and flee, but for the kind stranger who protected lumine. they say it's to protect you, but they know you can protect yourself. really, they've both grown somewhat attached to you. you spend your days traversing the ruined earth and looking for signs of life among the rubble, the twins by your side.

as time passes and you grow closer to the twins, you start to wonder about their mysterious backgrounds. how they seem to know so little about this planet, how they dress and speak in a manner unlike any you've heard before, and how everytime you ask where they're from they say something like "that's not really important right now." still, you're friends, and as awful as the apocalypse is you and the twins are getting through it together.

but sometimes in the night, aether unwraps the scarf from around his neck and grimaces as he sees the purple, slightly pulsating bite mark on his neck. how long until it overtakes him entirely? how long until he turns into just another zombie with no thoughts but to kill? how long until his sister — and you — are forced to eliminate him too?

kamisato ayaka — royalty au

the princess ayaka is graceful, dignified, and kind. she handles every issue with poise and delicacy, loving of her kingdom and the people who live in it. the commoners love her, and so does everyone else. including you, the child of the royal guard's leader, who was assigned to be her bodyguard due to your closeness in age. you follow her everywhere and shadow everything she does. and in the process, you and her become friends.

behind the guise of the princess lies ayaka's true feelings; the desire to be free and adventurous without being tied down to the kingdom. as much as she loves her realm, she's tired of having to put it first before what she wants every time a problem comes up. she tells you everything and you listen, offering your thoughts in return, but keeping your mouth closed on your own feelings. she's more than you. more noble, more impressive, more perfect.

then the arranged marriage is announced. a beautiful girl from a kingdom called watatsumi, she's in every way your superior. looks, abilities, everything. your ayaka — though you never dared to think of her that way — marrying someone who wasn't you. it broke your heart just to imagine. but you could never say anything. you stood to the side and watched as kokomi and ayaka met for the first time. then you and ayaka went home and you listened to the silence filling the room rather than the usual conversation.

months pass and ayaka spends more and more time with kokomi instead of you, your talks becoming less frequent. but even so, your eyes are still drawn to her graceful figure and you still long to hear her elegant descriptions of fanciful banquets and pastimes reserved for royalty. it becomes almost unbearable to hear the latest gossip about them or even to hear their names together.

the day of the wedding comes. you watch ayaka walk down the aisle in a pale blue gown. you clap and congratulate the happy couple, before leaving. you can't cry in front of her. you're happy she's gotten to marry someone she really does care for. it's just hard for that person not to be you. but you don't notice her hopeful glance trailing your back, and the way she droops minutely before looking back to kokomi as she realizes you're not turning around.

if anyone would like a continuation of these, i'd be happy to provide! :D
