—[xx] KISSING THEM GOODNIGHT

I think I'm in love with an Arataki gang member<3

I know she isn't even out but I want her to come home already to heal my heart

reblogs are highly appreciated !

how they'd react to cuddles~

characters: amber, sucrose, fischl, mona, ganyu, hu tao, ayaka

warnings: so fluffy that you could scoop this with a spoon, eat it, and your teeth would immediately get cavities. gn reader.

note: first post woo.... i'm really nervous hahahaha lets hope this goes well.

also, some of these are longer than the others, sorry about that!

apologies if i mess up with the pronouns, i’m used to writing fem reader aha...

amber

-she was really surprised when you suddenly turned over and started cuddling her.

-but she certainly wasn’t upset about it, that’s for sure.

-amber doesn’t really know what she should do, so…. she kinda just awkwardly sits there.

-eventually she cuddles back, it takes some setting in for her though.

-her body is warm and comfortable, eventually, she’s spooning you!

-amber doesn’t mind being the big or little spoon, but on the harder days, she prefers to be the little spoon.

“y-y/n? what are you..” amber squeaked as you wrapped your arms around her, capturing her in a hug.

“wanna… cuddle..” you mumbled sleepily, hugging her closer to you. she squeaked again, you starting to nuzzle against her.

the outrider’s face grew red with blush, and her heartbeat quickened. she wrapped her arms around you, like you did to her, and she pulled you close.

“i... i love you..” she whispered to you. you, however, were fast asleep, but you snuggled closer to her. she giggled at your adorable actions and kissed your forehead.

‘goodnight, bunny.’ amber thought, happily relishing in your warmth.

sucrose

-babey <3

-as soon as you pulled her down onto your lap while on the bed, she immediately blushed.

-and then blushed more when you gave her a kith on the forehead.

-she nuzzles into your shoulder as you lay down, her laying on top of you.

-eventually she will slide off to the side and lay next to you.

-sucrose likes to be the little spoon. it makes her feel loved and really warm!

-some days, you both will drink some hot chocolate and cuddle on the bed together.

-you love gently teasing sucrose, she blushes a whole lot!

-i like to think that sucrose purrs when she’s happy, so you’ll hear her purring while she sleeps a lot. especially if she’s with you!

“su~ you’re so cute..” you smiled that smile. that smile that always makes her heart melt. that smile that she had fallen oh so deep in love with.

“ah... am i really..?”

“of course you are, baby!” you kissed her hand. sucrose blushed, and she moved closer to lay against your chest. she mumbled something, but you couldn’t hear it.

laughing, you booped her nose and cuddled her tighter, both actions causing her face to flush harder, if that was even possible.

eventually she was clutching onto you tightly. she was so warm because of your teasing, and perhaps also because of the hot chocolate you had before.

“y-you’re always so…” she didn’t know the exact word she was looking for. mean? no, you were anything but that.. too kind? that may be true, but it wasn’t what she wanted to say.

“charming? thank you, sweetheart.” you chuckled. ah, yep, that was it. that was the word she was looking for. “i do try, somewhat~”

“mmm…” sucrose mumbled. she then turned to face you, which made you look at her skeptically. suddenly, she kissed you. it surprised you, that’s for sure, but you certainly weren’t mad. the kiss lasted for about a minute, and once she pulled away, she hid her face in the crook of your neck, settling down comfortably. “i.. i love you, y/n.”

“i love you too, su.”

fischl

-”i do not like cuddles..”

-she said to you when you asked her to cuddle.

-but when night fell and you were both asleep, she was holding onto you like her life depended on it.

-fischl would never admit this, but she loves being the little spoon. it gives her a sense of comfort.

-sometimes she will have her moments and want to be the big spoon though!

-mostly when she gets clingy.

-sometimes you’ll wake up holding her somehow.

-you don’t question it, however.

-just enjoy the moments holding your princess <3

“i thought you didn’t like cuddles?” you laughed as fischl gripped onto your pajamas harder.

“shut... shut up..” she mumbled, half asleep.

you kissed her on the forehead. “ah? but how can i tell you how cute you’re being right now if i shut up?”

she said something, you don’t know what it was, but it was something. whatever it was, you didn’t bother to ask, as fischl tried to move closer to you.

you wrapped your arms around fischl, making sure she was warm. she sighed comfortably, nuzzling you.

“goodnight, princess..” you hummed soothingly.

“n….night..” she replied quietly.

petting her head, you smiled down at her.

‘how cute.’

mona

-she loves cuddles, but she won’t explicitly say it.

-that’s why when you randomly snuggled up to her in the bed, she blushed intensely, and had a… slight panic.

-like ‘WHY ARE THEY SNUGGLING ME WHAT WAIT HUH-’

-after being REALLY FLUSTERED

-she calmed down, getting more.. lovey-dovey, if that makes sense?

-like, she starts calling you cute names, like “the light of my life”, “my star”, etc.

-and then it makes you blush.

-it’s cute!

-definitely big spoon, though she does enjoy being the little spoon sometimes.

-probably when she’s feeling a bit lonely.

“you are the light of my life.” mona said softly, hugging you tighter.

“i-is that so..?” you blushed at her words. mona always knew how to make your heart beat faster, how to make you blush. she was always so good at it, despite herself being easily flustered.

“yes. you’re my sun.. my moon, my stars, my everything. i love you, more than i love astrology.” she kissed the top of your head.

“monaaaa... you’re too sweet…” you whined. she chuckled.

“though, what i say IS true. i really do love you, y/n.” mona sighed happily. you could hear her heartbeat, and it brought you some comfort.

“mona?”

“yes, y/n?”

“i love you too.”

ganyu

-ganyu LOVES cuddling.

-especially with you!

-though, she hasn’t had much experience with it…

-our poor girl is too afraid of doing it wrong!

-one day however, she asks if you would ever want to cuddle her.

-you know, as a “for future reference!” type thing.

-she did not, however, expect for you to pull her down and cuddle her right then and there though!

-not to say that she didn’t enjoy it, however. she absolutely loved it!

-she prefers to be the big spoon, to her, it’s like she’s protecting you.

-ganyu is always so busy, she really treasures these times where you both can have soft, giggly cuddles.

-also, please gently caress her horns! it makes her feel so warm and fuzzy. just... be veeeeeery gentle, okay?

“hehe! yuyuuuu, i love you!” you giggled, reaching to gently pet her horns.

“i love you too!” she blushed, letting you pet her.

happily, you kissed her cheek. you stopped petting her, and snuggled into her chest. she laughed at your cuteness, kissing your head.

“i’m so happy i get to spend time with you like this..” ganyu said. she rubbed your back.

“me too! i wish you could come home earlier.. then we could do this all the time, right…?” you looked up at her.

“mm... yeah… i wish i could be home earlier too, love.” sighing, she looked into your eyes. “however, let’s just enjoy the moment now, yeah?”

you nodded, reaching up to kiss her on the lips. she kissed back, of course. it was a long and passionate kiss, it made you feel comfy and wanted. after a few moments of this, you pulled back, proceeding to lay your head back into her chest.

ganyu could only think about how much she loves you.

to her, you’re perfect.

and she wouldn’t trade you for anything.

hu tao

-yes! she absolutely loves cuddles!

-sometimes she’ll randomly come up and hug you, and if you’re both at home, you can definitely bet that’ll evolve into cuddles!

-hu tao is like a puppy sometimes. if she comes home before you, she’ll wait for you to get home, and then tackle you down and snuggle you.

-she’s been trying to stop her habit of tackling you, try and be patient with her!

-other than that, she doesn’t mind being the big or little spoon.

-she’ll pepper you with kisses everywhere while you cuddle.

-she also likes to just.. lay on top of you. it’s usually random, sometimes you’ll be minding your business, reading in bed or something, and here comes hu tao!

-she’ll flop onto you and make cute faces at you like “are you gonna do something? you won’t! i know you wont~”

-overall, hu tao is a great cuddle partner, though she tends to tease you a lot.

“hu tao… can you get up?”

“aww, why should i~?” she giggled, booping your nose. she was laying on you, her head comfortably on your chest.

you sighed. not really having a comeback, you simply just pat her head, which made her giggle adorably.

she then started to pepper your neck with kisses.

“pfft- that tickles-” you broke out into laughter when she interrupted you with her kisses. she smirked mischievously and continued to do it, your laughter filling her ears like music.

once she finally stopped, you cupped her cheeks with your hands.

“...eh?” hu tao looked confused. still holding her face, you gave her a short kiss on the lips, laughing when her face flushed red. “h-heyyy!”

“payback~” you smiled, releasing her face from your grasp. she pouted, sitting up and crossing her arms.

“y-you meanie!”

“am i really?”

“yeah! b-but i still.. love you…. i guess.”

“haha. i love you too, tao tao.”

ayaka

-def loves cuddles!

-another busy gal, she’s really never had any experience with cuddling.

-however, you reassured her that it’d be okay. besides, you’re the one taking the lead!

-when she comes home, she’s quite tired, so you make her some tea and then pull her into bed, and then you cuddle!

-ayaka is 100% a little spoon

-she likes your warmth <3

-it also makes her feel loved.

-since you’re her first lover, she does her best to make sure you feel loved and appreciated, so make sure you do your best to make her feel loved as well!

“what are you doing, aya?” you tilted your head as ayaka shifted in your lap.

“mmm…” she murmured something, resting her head under your chin. laughing, you wrapped your arms around her.

“you’re so precious. how did i get so lucky, being able to be with you?”

“don’t know… but… i’m happy..” she looked up at you with tired eyes, smiling.

“i am too, love.” you smiled back, petting her head. “but you should rest. it’s been a long day, hasn’t it?”

“you’re right, i suppose.” she reached up to kiss your cheek. “night.”

“goodnight, aya. i love you.”

“love you.. too…” and with that, ayaka fell asleep in your arms.

DONT SCROLL THIS IS IMPORTANT!

im begging anyone who sees this post to prevent rapesexual, im begging you. no one will see this but if you do reblog to get the message out that these fuckers exist and dont deserve to exist heres the flag so you can know who to fucking block, report and tell to fuck off

i dont want this to ruin the pride and help with self esteem of being lgbtq+ so a signal boost from larger accounts might be nice

this is an experiment:

trying to prove something to my friends

REBLOG IF YOU THINK PANSEXUALITY AND BISEXUALITY ARE TWO DIFFERENT, VALID SEXUALITIES

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

— pet names they use —

Synopsis: inazuma characters and the pet names they use!

Warnings: none

Game/ fandom: genshin impact

Characters: all inazuma characters

Pronouns for reader: all(?)

A/n: hello everyone! This idea has been stuck in my head for days and I have no clue why I didn’t write it sooner TvT (I accidentally posted this way to early so if you saw that… no you didn’t)

Ayaka: love, lovely, and your name

Ayaka is a smile woman, only using love/ lovely when you’re alone, and your name out in public. The only exception to that is if you’re around… important people. Like sara for example. In a meeting of sorts, she won’t hesitate to say “love can you hand me that piece of paper”

Yoimiya: baby, sweetie, spark

Typically using baby or sweetie all the time. Though does throw in spark once and a while. It started off as a joke, with yoimiya saying “oh my adorable little sparky” as a joke… you know (please don’t ask for context because I can’t give it to you, I just know she’d do this :’)) But then she actually started calling you spark.

Thoma: darling, sweetheart, prince/princess

Only addresses you with utmost respect, and sweetness in his voice. Even during a fight he’ll be kind, and use these pet names. He uses them out in public too, not shying away from pda, but of course he’ll respect you and your boundaries, so if you’re not comfortable with that he’ll only use pet names when you’re alone or not around many people.

Sara: your name

I honestly think she’s too nervous to use pet names, and feels like you’ll think she’s being disrespectful. She doesn’t know why, but because of how much she respects you she only calls you by your name. Maybe a nickname.

Kokomi: love, sweetheart, baby, cutie, angel

Not ashamed to use pet names, and literally will call you the sweetest things you can think of. She thinks it’s so fitting for you because she of course thinks you’re a sweetheart.

Gorou: babe, and love

Gorou is a tough one, I genuinely had no clue what to put down for him. Though I had to settle on something. He probably called you puppy/pup once and now he says it in private. Just cause.

Itto: gorgeous, pretty, and something relating to an inside joke of yours

Worships you to the point where he calls you gorgeous and pretty when addressing you. And for the inside joke part… that’s for you to decide. He could call you “beans” just cause it has to do with some joke you have. Actually yeah. He probably calls you beans even though he’s literally allergic to them.

Kazuha: anything and everything

This man could literally call you “trash can” and it would sound like the most heavenly thing you’ve ever heard. The way he uses his words is so…????? To the point where he can make anything sound like a pet name.

Ei: sweetie

Doesn’t really think pet names are… useful. When you explain it to her as a, “endearing name you call someone you love” she probably is like “well… I love you… and I love deserts… I could call you cake?” You decided on sweetie after that.

Yae: my love, and darling

The way her voice says ‘my love’ when addressing you is so… soothing. She isn’t even saying your name and she suddenly has you wrapped around her finger with a few simple words.

Congrats on 2k! Could I request C M F K with Jean, Baal, and Ganyu for the event

alphabet prompt 2k special

letters C, M, F , K

includes: jean, baal, ganyu

prompts can be found here

a/n: i just wanted to say that this made me incredibly soft for ganyu i love her so dearly so. to all of my jean, baal, and ganyu lovers, i hope u all enjoy this

jean

c — cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how do they cuddle?

jean loves to cuddle. she kind of sees it as a stress reliever. she loves to rest her head on your chest and listen to your heartbeat as you absentmindedly play with her hair, taking it out of the tight ponytail she always keeps it in. it’s therapeutic, almost, and it always helps her fall asleep much quicker.

m — mornings (what are mornings with them like?)

jean usually wakes up very early, so it’s rare that you get a chance to see her before she starts her day. she’ll usually use the extra minutes before getting out of bed to look at your sleeping figure next to her with a small smile on her face. if you do wake up, though, she’ll softly tell you to go back to bed before kissing your forehead.

f — fight (how would they react to getting into an argument with you?)

she would hate it, and after calming herself down, would talk it out with you. she can’t stand the thought of you being mad at her, so she’ll solve things quickly.

k — kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss?

her kisses are slow and gentle. this poor girl is so tired when she finally gets to see you, she only has enough energy to give you a kiss. besides your lips, of course, she loves to kiss your cheek or kiss your fingers while holding onto your hand.

baal

c — cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how do they cuddle?

she enjoys it, but it took her some time to get used to it. she likes to be held. she likes that for once, she feels taken care of. it’s just enough to help her get her mind off of the things plaguing her mind.

m — mornings (what are mornings with them like?)

you’ve never woken up before her. she doesn’t exactly sleep the best, so she wakes up extremely early every morning. if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see her before she leaves for the day, but that’s rare. and if you do, she’ll just say a quiet “good morning. have a good day.”

f — fight (how would they react to getting into an argument with you?)

she has no time for it. even if she wants to, she’ll never get mad at you. she has enough things to worry about as it is, so she just hopes you’ll be able to patch things with her easily.

k — kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss?

she makes every kiss with her feel like it’s the last. they’re always passionate, loving. she always kisses your lips.

ganyu

c — cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how do they cuddle?

she loves cuddling even if it makes her flustered. if it’s you holding her or her holding you, she loves it. but her favorite way to cuddle is to lay on your chest as you lazily play with her hair.

m — mornings (what are mornings with them like?)

it’s so hard to wake up with her — it’s difficult to get out of bed when it’s so warm and you get to see ganyu looking back at you with sleepy eyes. you don’t get out of bed until she finally realizes that she needs to start her day and quickly jumps out of bed.

f — fight (how would they react to getting into an argument with you?)

fights are practically nonexistent, but if any disagreements happen, she’ll patch it up immediately because knowing that you’re upset with her or vice versa distracts her, leaving her unable to focus on anything which is a huge problem for ganyu, especially when all she wants to do is get home to you.

k — kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss?

ganyu’s kisses are gentle, soft, and shy. she moves so slowly that one might think she’s unsure of what she’s doing, but that isn’t it at all. she’s just savoring the moment because it’s so rare to get a lot of time alone with you.

We never got to see their uniforms :')

˖˚˳⊹ girlfriend headcanons feat. ayaka : yae : yoimiya : ei : yelan : shinobu : ganyu : eula x fem! reader

˖˚˳⊹ genre: fluff : sprinkle suggestive for good measure : mentions of possessive behavior (not detailed)

girlfriend! ayaka who‘s always sending you cute little letters to your home, since she‘s mostly busy with work herself. <3 makes sure to kiss the letter but not before applying her infamous glittery lipgloss you‘re so fond of. She wouldn‘t admit it but she can be quite a tease sometimes, occasionally scribbling down some lewd things on what she wants you to do to her later that day. <3

girlfriend! yae who‘s always having your back, though her methods can become quite unordinary. Is very into spoiling too, loves buying you small gifts here and there, sometimes making you pick fortune slips because she adores whenever you pick a positive one. The way your expression just lifts up in poor glory is her favorite thing of all times. Could kiss you on the spot, (which she sometimes does of course, is really into pda believe it or not!)

girlfriend! yoimiya who will prepare a huge firework show on every single anniversary, it's a tradition at this point. In all honesty though, since you know she's very creative, it'll never be the same thing and will always have its own tone every anniversary. She's passionate about those things so make sure to support her because yoimiya herself will make sure to support your dreams as well, it's only natural in a relationship in her eyes!

girlfriend! ei who can become a bit possessive at times, you do understand where she's coming from, the way she has lost countless of friends along the way. Please! reassure her that you won't ever leave her side, you're hers and she's yours and nothing will change that. The relationship can become quite emotional, a strong bond will form between you but you wouldn't want it any other way. Ei will accept everything you have, whether it's your good and bad sides, but she expects the same of you.

girlfriend! yelan who tries her best to get you as far away as possible from her work, would never forgive herself if something were to happen to you because of her. She's very playful about it, always teasing you -with her hand only slightly above where you needed it the most- and changing the subject whenever you do want to know more about her job, but soon you'll drop the subject, since it's not okay to pry into other affairs anyways and knowing yelan, she must have a big reason why she isn't telling you everything about her life.

girlfriend! shinobu who slaps itto whenever he proposes you the idea to join his gang. She just doesn't want to share you with the other members, you're hers after all :( ! believe it or not but she's actually very much into pda, just loves to casually hold your hand while the both of you walk around inazuma city, sometimes placing lazy smooches around your wrist if she wants your attention a little bit more. Give her attention she deserves it !! <3

girlfriend! ganyu who's the cutest little bean. <3 honestly, didn't even know the both of you were dating at first, she didn't want to disrespect your boundaries but once you called her your girlfriend she almost melted on the spot, the thought of being your s/o made her skin tingle with electric shocks that were so fucking addicting. Don't be mistaken though, ganyu's trying her best to keep you far away from cloud retainer, always praying she hasn't told you the embarrassing baby stories yet. (she already has but don't tell ganyu.)

girlfriend! eula who's so fucking cute. <3 the way she's getting mad for no reason and that cute little pout on her lips in the process, you could kiss her on the spot, -which you sometimes do-. Your cute and beautiful girlfriend may become extra clingy around you, especially if there aren't lots of people around, she's very open about her feelings and expects the same of you as well. Honesty is a big part in a functioning relationship and Eula really wants this to work between the both of you, you just mean so much to her already. <3

Genshin Characters reacting to their S/O introducing them as their “best friend”

Characters: Ayaka, Shinobu, Beidou, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Shenhe x GN!Reader.

Warnings: None! Just fluff and comfort <3

“I haven’t introduced you two. She’s Ayaka, my best friend.”

Ayaka is immediately heartbroken, but as a Yashiro Commissioner member, she knows better than to let her emotions reflect on her expression, so on the outside no one would suspect she’s been affected by those two words.

But she has. Oh, she has.

She’s fairly inexperienced when it comes to social interaction, all the more so when it comes to a romantic relationship. She trusts that you love her, and she’s endlessly happy for everything that you do for her, but she’s not quite so confident when it comes to her own doings. Ayaka is constantly questioning herself, whether she should voice her opinion more around you or not, should she ask to hold your hand or would it be inappropriate, should she tell you how deeply-rooted her affection for you is or would that be too much, or too soon.

So when she hears you call her your best friend instead of her lover, she can’t help but think that perhaps this is your way of telling her you wish to not be her lover anymore, and the thought alone breaks her heart.

She’s silent for the remaining of the outing, even long after your friend is gone. She tries to not let it show and continues acting around you as she usually does, but you know her well enough to see behind her mask of politeness, so you confront her when you arrive at the Kamisato state.

“Do you… By any chance, do you wish to end your relationship with me?” Ayaka quietly asks you, her blue eyes downcast.

You’re quick to shake your head and hold her in your arms, explaining that you said that to protect her reputation from prying eyes, in case she wasn’t comfortable enough yet to let other people know you two were dating.

Ayaka hugs you back so tightly and says that she appreciates the effort but she loves you, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. She very much would like to let the whole world know how much she cherishes you <3

“You already know her right? She’s my best friend, Kuki Shinobu.”

What.

Shinobu stares at you for a solid second, eyes narrowed in confusion before she turns to the other person and nods politely, choosing to avoid a direct confrontation if she can help it.

But the second the other person is gone, Shinobu turns to you, arms crossed over her chest.

“What was that?”

“What was what?” You innocently ask.

“Best friend?” She repeats your words, a slightly annoyed tone in her voice. “I hadn’t realized I’d been demoted.”

Shinobu is a confident person, she doesn’t doubt for a second that you still love her. She trusts you enough to know that if your feelings for her ever changed, she would be the first person you’d tell.

And as for her, Shinobu is just as communicative with her emotions. You’re always the first person she goes to when she has a situation to resolve. Of course, she can take care of things by herself, but she trusts your judgment and, most of all, she likes the feeling of having someone trustworthy to rely on. She cherishes that about you, and she feels safe and secure in your love.

That doesn’t mean she won’t revoke your cuddling privileges for a week straight for this prank. Shinobu loves you, but she doesn’t enjoy being teased, and you’ll have to learn that the hard way.

“Yes, she really is the captain of the Crux! Beidou, my best friend.”

Beidou is momentarily taken aback by your words. Best friend, you say? You weren’t saying that last night at the Alcor, when you were with her in her chamber.

She’s quick to draw a sly smile, taking one step towards the other person.

“Best friend and lover! I get to ride this,” she says, slapping your butt loudly, “every other night. Aren’t I lucky? Hahaha.”

She bursts out laughing, your friend goes completely red in the face, and you’re utterly mortified. You will definitely measure your words in the future, pranking Beidou seems to backfire for you more often than not.

Beidou is a confident person, she’s lived long enough to learn to not be easily swayed by words. When it comes to you though, it’s true that she has a soft spot, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to let you make a fool of her wherever you please. After all, you’re her dearest lover, who puts up with all her quarrels and quirks. Surely you won’t be mad at her for this <3

“I don’t believe you’ve met my best friend Ganyu before, right?”

Congratulations, you’ve officially broken the fluff ball.

Ganyu’s eyes widen at the statement, but she doesn’t turn to you. She immediately lowers her gaze, now glued to the ground as the other person introduces themselves to her too. She’s as polite as she can manage while the gears in her brain start speeding up, her heart also picking up the pace.

Best friend…? Ganyu holds the edge of her dress between her fingers, fidgets with it while you cheerfully chat with your friend. Are we not lovers? Did I… misinterpret the situation?

Ganyu is very confident in her work ethic and capabilities. However, due to her adeptus upbringing and the clear differences between her and the regular mortals, she is far from confident when it comes to social interactions. And despite all the centuries she’s roamed this world, Ganyu is still quite inexperienced when it comes to matters of the heart.

You don’t find it troublesome taking things slow with Ganyu, letting her set the pace in your relationship as she slowly explores her feelings towards you, not one bit. And she’s endlessly grateful for the feeling of comfort you give her, how you’re always attentive and endlessly kind when talking to her, when you spend your lunch times together, when you accompany her on her naps, or you treat her to a meal in her favorite restaurant; how you hold her face in your hands and press your lips to hers in a sweet kiss every morning.

So then… Why did you call her your best friend?

The moment your friend is gone, Ganyu grabs your sleeve, preventing you from walking. You turn to her, about to ask her if everything’s okay.

“Did I do something wrong?” She quietly asks. “You can be honest, I… I can take it.”

You’re quick to reassure her that no, absolutely no, she’s perfect and you were just saying that in case Ganyu wasn’t comfortable with other people knowing about the two of you.

Ganyu is reassured but it’ll take more than an apology to get your words out of her mind, so please treat her kindly and give her lots of kisses for the rest of the night!

“Meet my best friend, the Director of the Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao!”

Hu Tao doesn’t miss a beat when she steps forward, reaching out to grab your friend’s hand with a big smile plastered on her face.

“Best friend and best girlfriend Hu Tao, at your service!” She cheerfully exclaims. “Say, have you found yourself lately in need of a coffin but thought to yourself, Crikey, these things are way too expensive! Well, my new friend, bear it no longer! Cause I happen to have just the thing you ne— Hey!”

You drag Hu Tao by the collar of her coat, waving at your friend with the other hand.

“It was great seeing you! I’m sorry, I just remembered there’s somewhere we need to be!”

“What was that for? I could’ve landed a good deal if you’d let me.” Hu Tao crosses her arms above her chest when you let go of her. “Besides, what even was that? I know I’m your best friend, but you should introduce me as your lover, silly!”

“I don’t want people to think we’re that close.” You cross your arms on your chest, suppressing a playful smile.

Hu Tao’s quick to catch on your joke, and she’s even quicker to wrap her arms around your neck, giggling easily.

“But we are that close, hee-hee!” She says, pressing her lips to your cheek time and time again, leaving butterfly kisses on your skin. “There’s no escaping this now~”

“Her name’s Shenhe, she’s my best friend and an adepti disciple. Super cool, right?”

Shenhe immediately turns to you, a deadpan look on her face.

“Am I not your lover?”

“Well— Yes, you are.” You draw a nervous smile, your friend staring.

“I don’t understand. I thought you mentioned that our relationship is one of lovers.” Shenhe insists. “Do best friends also kiss and have se—“

“Shenhe—!”

“I see you two are busy, I won’t bother you for longer. It was great running into you!”

Your friend excuses themselves and leaves. You turn to Shenhe, your cheeks burning. She stares at you, registering your expression.

“Just to be clear. Are we still lovers?” She says, her winter eyes searching in yours for clarification.

Having grown up on the mountains, raised by the adeptus and bearing the binding red ropes that restrict the range of human emotions she’s allowed to experience, it’s safe to say that Shenhe’s not familiar with emotions, much less with the terminology for them. It’s just so many things to remember, so many cues and newfound sensations. Shenhe relies on you to guide her through them, to support her while she explores her own emotions, and you love every bit of the experience with her.

“Yes. Yes, we are.” You sigh and draw a smile, gently pushing some locks of hair behind her ear. Shenhe relishes in your touch. “You are my lover and my best friend. I love you.”
