In a Relationship | Hu Tao, Yanfei, Ganyu & Keqing

Characters: Hu Tao, Yanfei, Ganyu and Keqing

Summary: Relationship headcanons with you and the girls :)

Hu Tao

You never experience a dull moment

You two are the life and death of Liyue

Days are filled with endless fun and adventure

Spontaneity being her forte, you often start the day none the wiser to how it will end

Visits to local restaurants offering peculiar specialties, trips to see bizarre landmarks you’ve never even heard of

You often find yourself victim to her pranks, not that you mind of course. Her sweet giggle after a successful prank is worth any price and dignity you have to pay

You have pretended on more than one occasion to fall for her pranks, just to make her happy

Clingy clingy clingy

Dramatically drapes herself over you if she feels she isn’t getting enough attention

Like a cat

PDA all day everyday

Hand holding mainly, dragging you from stall to stall during one of your many shopping trips

Surprise kisses when you aren’t paying attention

Definitely the type of person to touch you with cold hands

On her days off, wants to take commissions with you. Enjoys the two of you fighting side by side and exploring new places

You definitely have to reign her in a little but, lest the whole of Liyue becomes her playground

The amount of funeral ideas you have to veto

Zhongli thanks you

Yanfei

The legal expert may be short on time, but never for you

She won’t even charge you her hourly rate

Jk but she does present a relationship agreement, detailing the number of dates, the appropriate amount of affection and time to be spent together

You have to quickly put down the idea

Her job can be highly stressful, so she enjoys relaxing days out with you

Hot springs, picnics, walks in beautiful fields of flowers, anything that lets her bask in your presence in a peaceful nature

She always watches your back, making sure that no conniving merchants try to deceive you and scam you out of mone

she will metaphorically and literally drop the book on them

rambles a lot too, about any information that comes into her head about the things she sees around her

“This particular area of Liyue used to be rife with raquetteing! One shopkeeper requested my help in dealing with the issue at hand... looking for a legal method to end his problem. Of course, in face of the blatant illegality of it it...”

You wonder how she remembers to breathe during these rants

extremely thoughtful, never forgets an anniversary. treasures any and all milestones that the two of you share

definitely keeps a scrapbook with little moments of your trips together

“(First)! It’s been exactly 6 months since we shared our first meal together!”

Ganyu

similar to yanfei, extremely busy

her schedule is jam packed, finding even a minute to spare is a challenge

which is why it’s perfect that she found her perfect match working along side her

will try her hardest to ensure that the two of you will always be working together, singing your praises to anyone who will listen

she admires your work ethic, it’s part of what drew her to you

you have to remind her to take care of herself too, her own personal care often slips to the back of her mind

encouraging her to take her beloved naps, drawing a blanket over her whenever you catch her nodding off

she loves you all the more for it

she can feel conflicted about her presence alongside mortals, but she always feels at home by your side

your presence is an anchoring weight in her life, she always feels safe and secure with you by her side

after working long and hard, she dreams of nothing more than resting her head on your lap and napping the day away

she loves cooking for you, it feels like the best way that she can show she really cares about you, cooking each dish perfectly to match your tastes

sitting down, enjoying a meal together truly heals her soul

Keqing

you have to wonder if she ever stops

rarely do you see her take time for herself, each day is spent focused on all the tasks she has to get done, or planning ahead to complete tasks in the future

her drive and motivation can be almost scary at times, her dedication unmatched

you’re her safe haven, whenever a problem seems too stressful with no clear solution, she’ll seek refuge in you, hoping that your presence can calm her mind and guide her to the correct answer

give her a rex lapis plushie to cheer her up

no matter how high she holds herself, she comes victim to self doubt

what if she’s not good enough? a poor mans rex lapis?

you’ll need to comfort her and assure her that she’s trying her very best and that’s more than enough

her favourite way to spend the day with you is of course, shopping

her work ethic definitely pays well, having lots of money to spoil you with whatever you desire

the finest garments, the freshest fruit, anything to show how much she cares about you, knowing that you often lack her presence

she feels like everything that she has done has been worth it when she is able to see you flourishing and happy in a liyue that she helped prosper

Simple things you do that gets their hearts pounding

characters; Kazuha, Thoma, Scaramouche, Ayaka, Kokomi, Hu Tao

Kazuha

His heart goes crazy when you remember his flowery musings. Usually, people would forget his haikus and pass them off as just wierd mutterings, but hearing you tell him that the mountains of liyue reminded you of that one haiku that even he had forgotten weeks ago, made him feel appreciated and more encouraged to make even more haikus, just for you.

Thoma

When you make him food after a hard day's work. You might only think of it as a way to reward him for working all day, but the taste of your cooking every once in a while never fails to make him feel like a child getting his favourite food for lunch. The fact that you had gotten him this giddy feels like a mystery to him. He might as well put a ring on your finger to get your homemade food everyday.

Scaramouche

You always staying calm despite his rough attitude really gets him sometimes. Although you're quite a patient person, you also aren't afraid to talk back when he goes too far. The thought of you being his so-called 'anchor' makes him feel weak, but he knows that it wasn't your intention, and it's that you simply just cared for him. And he's grateful for that. Huh? No he's not blushing...!

Ayaka

The happiness on her face when you bring her trinkets from all around teyvat is visible to anyone in the room. But the moment you leave the Kamisato quarters, her face will redden deliberately by each passing second. These gifts are hard evidence that you constantly thought about her during your journey. This will get her rolling in her bed at night, for sure.

Kokomi

Hearing your soothing voice while you read out her favourite books outloud while she's resting is one of her most favourite moments shared with you. Seeing you do the tedious task of reading just for her makes her very happy indeed. She'd faint out of embarrassment if you ever find out about how obsessed she is with you though.

Hu Tao

She really loves it when you smile, especially when it's because of her. She makes it her daily goal to make you laugh with her giddiness. Whether it'd be jokes or pranks, as long as she gets to hear your melodic laughter, nothing else matters. She just can't get enough of the feeling of her fluttering heart. It's very addicting, she thinks. Just like you. *wink wink*

୨♡୧ hu tao art cred

summary: hu tao is bedridden, her injury severe enough that it cannot be cured with magic. yet, she sees the bright side of this– and that includes making you take care of her.

notes: one shot, gn!reader, not edited/beta read, fluff, little bit of angst, the injury part doesn’t really make sense but shshhhh

warnings: mentions of injuries (no blood), ask to tag

word count: 453

you slowly knocked on hu tao’s door. after waiting for a bit, a voice, cheerful as always, said “come in!” when you walked in, hu tao waved at you as she was in bed, sitting up. the paper bag felt heavy in your hands as you put it on the bedside table.

“so, baizhu wasn’t lying when you said it was bad…” you mumbled. hu tao only giggled in response.

calling them “pretty girl” | headcanons

— characters: amber, sucrose, hu tao, ayaka, beidou !!

— warnings: ayaka says the l-word, beidou’s is mildly suggestive

note: head in hands. head in mf hands. i’ve seen the “pretty boy” version of this so many times in so many different fandoms, so why not have an alternative ^^ i love women and i loved writing this i’m definitely gonna write just for women more often <333 reblogs are rlly appreciated !!

summary: their reactions to you calling them “pretty girl” <3

ᥫ᭡ AMBER . . .

eyes wide with a slight blush

she blinks about ten times before she can muster a reply

“…pardon?”

the apples of her cheeks are bright pink when you repeat yourself, and it doesn’t help that you sound even more sure of yourself this time

she fumbles with whatever she’s holding, clearing her throat and gazing to the side with a pout

she’s adorable when she’s flustered

“gah, stop that! you know i can’t think straight when you do that…”

there’s no actual bite behind her words, she loves your petnames!

they just make her mind turn to mush sometimes </3

she puffs and grabs your hand, intertwining your fingers with urgency

a small kiss is placed to your hand, a thank you as well as a reciprocation

ᥫ᭡ SUCROSE . . .

an absolute wreck

“pretty…what?!”

she pushes her glasses up with her knuckle and her brows furrow as her mind deciphers what you’d said

when you repeat yourself she lowers her head, her hands flying to cover her face with a whine

oh dear you’ve broken her

you watch as her face only seems to get redder under the cover of her hands, and you start to feel a bit bad

as you begin to apologize for flustering her too much, you’re taken aback as she suddenly perks up and begins to protest

“nono, you misunderstand! i…”

you smile wide when she moves to wrap her arms around your neck, pulling you into her embrace

her tone is sheepish and you rake your fingers through her hair to coax her embarrassment

“i really like that name…”

you feel her own grin against your shoulder, and you laugh at how she quietly mutters that you’re pretty too <3

ᥫ᭡ HU TAO . . .

the cheekiest about it

“pretty girl? ooh, i like that one!”

her eyes sparkle at your greeting, and off instinct she wiggles her arms around your waist

her smile is too contagious, and you end up as the flustered one while she dotes on you

you hold your breath when her hands travel upwards, eventually landing to delicately cup your face

the rings adorning her fingers are cold against your skin, but as she rubs your cheeks you feel the warmth begin to cascade

“if i get to be pretty girl, don’t you think you deserve a name like that as well?”

the low tone her voice takes is befuddling enough to make you redirect your gaze, focusing on silently steadying your beating heart

one hand moves to tilt your chin, slender fingers igniting your skin with each graze as she advances on your lips

“so cute…”

ᥫ᭡ AYAKA . . .

a more controlled wreck

her small smile grows a bit at your words, as does the newfound blush she’s sporting

she clears her throat as inconspicuously as she can, shaking her head thoroughly once to compose herself

“…hello to you as well, love.”

you poke fun at her, teasing in hopes of a greater reaction

with a bashful sigh, she chuckles, laying her head onto your shoulder and gazing up at you

“i-i’ve just never gotten quite used to your affections. you always find new ways to surprise me.”

her eyes hold warm adoration, the pale blues shimmering in a way that causes you to yearn, yet you’re not exactly sure what for

with a tender disposition, she cranes to glide her hand over your cheek, landing with her fingers ghosting right along your jaw

her words were quick and hushed, but you still managed to hear the “love you” she murmured against your lips before connecting them

ᥫ᭡ BEIDOU . . .

uncharacteristically flustered

she’s not immune to your charm, though she’d usually respond with a quip of her own

her cheeks burn just the slightest as she quirks a questioning brow, positioning her elbow on the couch’s armrest to fully look at you

“pretty girl…? that’s new.”

her hand slowly smooths down her face, in what you assume to be an attempt at reigning the blush

her grin is toothy and proud as she playfully sizes you up, throwing her head back in a giggle when you wink at her

she pulls you on top of her relaxed form, caging you in her muscular arms as you melt into the hug

“hm, i am pretty, aren’t i?”

she leans into you, pressing a soft kiss to your neck

“call me that more often.” is sultrily whispered along the curve of your ear, and she laughs as you huff at her returned nature

“I’m much more better than your plushie.” [Genshin Impact]

It’s almost midnight when they came home. They find you asleep cuddling with your plushie. How would they react?

Characters Included: Aether, Albedo, Ayaka, Eula, Childe, Gorou, Hu Tao, Kazuha, Scaramouche & Thoma + GN! Reader.

Notes: Hope ya’ll like this :D

Warning: None.

Aether

When his eyes lands on your sleeping figure he can’t help but smile at the sight. At least you didn’t wait for him like usual or else he would’ve scolded you for staying up so late. His eyes trailed towards the plushie you’re holding in between your arms and chest and couldn’t help but pout. How dare the plush take his spot in your arm? That’s his spot!

Making his way to his respective side of the bed, he slowly tries to remove the plush from your arms. What he didn’t expect is you whining in your sleep and tightened your hold around the plush, making it impossible for Aether to remove it. Letting out a frustrated sound, all he wanted is to be in your arms after a tiring day, he didn’t expect to be replaced by a plush.

“What does the plush have that I don’t?”

Albedo

Letting out a yawn as he check the time on the wall clock near the door, it was almost midnight. You should be asleep by now. Making his way to your shared room, he was met with the sight of you cuddling with your plush. Blinking twice before letting out a small smile. What an adorable sight to behold. If only he had his kamera with him, too bad he accidentally left it on his desk.

After changing into his nightwear clothes, he scooted over to the space behind you. Laying down and wrapping his arm around you, pulling you to his chest while placing a kiss on top of your head. Contentedly seeking refuge at the back of your neck, not at all minding you cuddling with your plush.

“Sweet dreams, my beloved.”

Ayaka

Sighing in relief as she finally finished all of her tasks today, stretching out her arms as she makes her way towards her room to have a deserved rest. Sliding open the door, her eyes widened at the sight of her s/o on her bed, cuddling with one of Ayaka’s plush. The familiarity of the plush in her lover’s arms brought memories of how they won it for her in one of the festivals they went to.

Surprised as she may be at the sudden appearance of her s/o, it wasn’t an unpleasant one. Quickly changing her clothes to a more comfortable ones, she sat down at the edge while weaving her hands through their hair. Feeling someone’s hands in your hair, you slowly opened your eyes to see the smiling face of the Shirasagi Himegimi. Letting go of the plush so that she can sneak herself into your arms, making herself comfortable immediately in your arms.

“I didn’t expect you to visit me. You must’ve been waiting for me for quite a while now huh? Goodnight, my beloved.”

Eula

Steps as light as a feather, heels lightly clicking under the wooden floor of the house as she makes her way to the bedroom while removing the accessories adorning her outfit. Her head was aching after dealing yet again the hateful comments and glares of the townspeople. Wanting to be in her lover’s arms already, she fastened her pace and quietly opened the door. Her gaze landing on her s/o’s figure on the bed while cradling the plush in their arms.

Sighing amusingly, her lips quirking up, she did her nightly routine before going in bed with them. Staring at the plush for a couple of seconds before trying to take it away from your hold, the only thing that’s allowed in your arms is her and her only! She clicked her tongue when she noticed you tightening your hold around the plush. She can’t believe she’s been beaten by a plush! A plush! The nerve of this plush to her take her place!

“Vengeance will be mine. Just you wait, you little midget.”

Childe

First reaction when his eyes landed on you holding your plush in between your arms was to take a picture with his kamera, and so he did. Taking a few pictures before gushing at how adorable you look. This is just what he needed after coming back from a stressful mission from the Fatui. A moment for him to unwind after all that fiasco.

After changing his outfit to a more comfortable ones, he climbed into bed with you. Laying on his side to face you, who was still holding the plush in your arms, and laid his arm around you. Not at all minding the plush that was separating him from you, leaning forward to press a kiss on your forehead. He might also press a kiss on the plush if he feels like it (i just think he will treat the plush like his kid-).

“Sweet dreams to you both. Don’t let the monsters bite.”

Gorou

All he wanted to do is to fall flat on his bed, with you by his side, and snooze the night away. Tension was always high in the resistance group, no one dares to let their guard down as any time the vision hunt decree could strike. Rubbing his eye with his palm as he enters his tent, which he shares with you. Smiling at the sight of your sleeping figure peacefully laying on the mattress. His eyes shifted to the plush your holding and couldn’t help but let out a growl.

Making his way towards you, he swift takes away your plush from your hold, not giving you any time to object. Which effectively woke you up, the sudden action making you stir awake to meet the annoyed gaze of your lover as his tail shifts behind him. Blinking at him in confusion, your eyes trailed to the plush he carelessly threw on the floor and let out a laugh. Huffing at your amusement in his action, he crawled into your arms and you welcomed him.

“You’re only allowed to cuddle with me, okay? Not that impostor.”

Hu Tao

Lets out a chuckle when her gaze meets the sight of her precious cradling the ghost plush she gave you awhile back. She had decided to visit you for a nightly cuddle, but she didn’t expect to see this sight before her. Humming a familiar tune under her breath, she makes her way to you with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Taking off her hat and setting it down on a table by the side carefully, she stretches her fingers as she gets near to your sleeping figure. In one swift motion, she takes the plush from your hold and replaced the loss cuddling partner with her. Wrapping her arms around you as she giggles when you tightened your hold around her, she smiled contentedly. Turning to the side and sticking a tongue out to the plush, she giggles quietly.

“Boo~ sorry, I won this round~”

Kazuha

Smiling at the sight of you peacefully sleeping on the bed in your shared room in the Crux Fleet, his gaze shifted to the plush in your arms. Seeing the plush brought back memories of him and you in Inazuma, the short time you two spent together on the land of Eternity was something he deeply cherished. The plush was one of your memento of your time with him in that land.

Laying on the opposite side while putting an arm around you, he pulled you close and pressed feather-like kisses on the back of your neck. Smiling contentedly when he hears you humming and calling his name sleepily. He lets you roll to face him, leaving the plush and putting your arms around him instead. Accepting your embrace immediately as he press a kiss on your forehead.

“I guess that plush is a good use whenever I’m not around. Though I would prefer if you would just go and get me instead.”

Scaramouche

Glares at the plush with such hatred when he noticed you holding the said-plush. The plush had the audacity to look at him with an innocent look on his face while being cradled by you. If only he could punish him just like how he punished the other Fatui members, alas you forbid it stating that the plush means so much to you.

Clicking his tongue as he made his way towards you with heavy thuds, he promptly grabs the plush from your hold, ignoring how you whine at the loss of your cuddling partner. Staring at the beady eyes of it as he made a threatening statement before tossing it away behind him on the floor. He laid down on his side, ignoring how you woke up and wrapped his arms around you. Already closing his eyes and not paying attention to your protests.

“Tsk, quiet you fool. Don’t you want a good night’s rest? Ignore that plush, you have me. Now sleep.”

Thoma

Cooing at you being adorable again, he can’t help but skip towards you and press kisses on your face. Smiling when you stirred in your sleep but didn’t wake, and finally pressed one final kiss before doing his nightly routine. He doesn’t mind that your cuddling with a plush, after all, he gave you that plush for that purpose! Though he does admit that the way your holding the plush makes him a bit jealous…

Finishing up his last routine, he takes his place in front of you and wrapped his arms around you. The plush in between your chests as he press a kiss on your lips and on the plush’s forehead. A cute gesture before promptly removing it and placing it down on the bedside table. The purpose of it is to cuddle with you if he’s not around, but since he’s around, it’s rendered useless for now.

“Lovely dreams, my (queen/king). May your dreams be filled with happiness.”

Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.

I love yelan and shinobu im a simp already. I’ll ask for how they are when they have a crush on reader and how they would confess.

How they confess to you

characters: Yelan / Kuki Shinobu x gn!reader (seperate)

warnings: none, just fluff

a/n: There aren’t too many things known about Shinobu’s personality yet, so I’m sure once she actually releases we will be able to look back to this fic and say “kinda ooc, ngl”, but until then I’ll have to use my gut feeling.

This is, of course, my first time writing for either of these two characters, so I’m sorry if I’m making a few mistakes when it comes to their personalities, but I think it should be fine

Also, this is kinda long, at least for my standarts

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Yelan

Yelan knew about you long before you had even met her, she had to make sure that the new hire at the Liyue Qixing didn’t have any ill intentions after all, but once the two of you finally met, you instantly got along with each other, her relaxed and easy going attitude a welcome change from the stress inducing one’s your bosses seemed to have around them all the time. While your friendly and open attitude, that made even strangers reveal small secrets to you from time to time, being too busy enjoying their drinks to care, coupled with your willingness to tell Yelan about them if asked, made hanging out with you both a nice way to procrastinate while getting enough information to technically be considered part of her job.

Even after the two of you had become, what you would consider, good friends, there were still a lot of things you knew she wouldn’t tell you about, most of them about her job. You had asked once about why exactly she needed information about a citizen of Liyue, assuming of course that her job required her to do so, she made it very clear that, since it was part of her job, she wouldn’t tell you. You completely understood, never asking about such things again, while simply enjoying spending time with her. But there were things you knew about her that most others, who even knew about the existence of a woman called “Yelan”, wouldn’t even dream about knowing.

You had finally managed to get a few days off, deciding that it would be a great opportunity to visit Yelan, and while her house laid well outside of the city, you eventually arrived in front of her door, knocking on it, only to have to wait much longer than you expected before it finally opened, revealing your friend giving you her usual smile.

“Well, what a surprising visit you decided to pay me”, she greeted you, the thought of how you had managed to surprise the usually so informed Yelan, making you smile, only for you to remember what an unhealthy sleep schedule she seemed to have whenever she didn’t necessarily have work to do.

“Did I awaken you from your sleep?”, you asked teasingly, only for her to shoot back immediately in a similar playful matter.

“That’s confidential, I could tell you, but sadly wouldn’t be allowed to keep you alive afterwards”, after shooting you another smile, she finally let you inside, and it wasn’t long before the two of you started playing a game of dice against each other. “I could use this chance to win a few Mora from you, but how about we spice it up a bit? The winner gets to ask the looser anything”, she offered, causing you to give her a look of suspicion. When she said “anything”, did she truly mean it? Probably not really, since you doubted that she would tell you anything about her work even if you won, not that you wanted to know anyway. But you decided not to voice your doubts, instead giving her a nod.

Well, it wasn’t like you even had to think about what to ask her, since no matter how much luck you seemed to have, Yelan would always top you, and while her questions started out standard, asking you about things like work, they grew more and more personal with each question.

“What’s your taste in women?”, she eventually asked with as straight of a face as ever, and while the last question had already seemed a bit too personal for your taste, this one made your heartbeat faster than usual whenever you thought about what would come next.

“Well, I don’t really have one… I’m not that picky, if they are entertaining to hang out with, I guess”, you answered truthfully, well not completely, since there was someone you had eyes for.

“Then what about me?”, she asked, topping all her previous questions while making your face as red as the Jueyun chillies she loved to eat.

“T-that’s more than one question”, you stuttered out, frantically trying to buy your brain enough time to figure out any reasons she might have said something like that, baring the obvious of course, since that was too good to be true.

“Of course, how silly of me”, she stated, only to immediately get the highest possible score, making it unnecessary for you to even try and beat it. “Well, what about me?”, she stated once more, leaning forwards before putting her head in her hands while resting her arms on the table.

After seeing you fail to form a coherent sentence more than once, she leaned back before speaking again. “Fine, let me a different question”, when you heard her words, you finally managed to calm your nerves down a bit, only for all your blood to shoot into your head once again immediately afterwards.

“I like you as more than just a friend, do you feel the same?”, before you even had the chance to think about it, your body immediately went into autopilot, nodding enthusiastically without delay, causing the woman in front of you to smile at you once again.

Kuki Shinobu

You had known Shinobu for a very long time, having been friends with her long before she and her family got on rather… difficult terms. But when she had gone to study in Liyue for a few years, the two of you lost contact, only for her to come back and become part of the Arataki-gang, something you couldn’t help but find odd. Sure, you hadn’t seen her for years, but her joining that group of rather unusual individuals, wasn’t something you had ever expected from her.

But when the two of you met again, you somewhat rekindled your old friendship. Sure, the two of you had changed a lot, and instead of wearing the shrine maiden clothes you had expected an adult Shinobu to wear, she had found a different way to dress, most notably wearing a mask to hide her face even though you had never thought that there was a need for her to do so, but at the core you were still the same people as back then.

You couldn’t pinpoint exactly when, but at some point in your friendship Shinobu had stopped acting entirely professional around you, acting far more friendly than before. It may have been far from the friendliness others, like maybe that Naganohara girl, seemed to offer, but still a big enough change for you to notice, not that you had anything against it, since you were just happy to have your old friend back. And while she still insisted on wearing her mask most of the time, she wouldn’t seem as embarrassed as the first time you accidentally caught her taking it off.

You had plucked a few lavender melons since you seemed to remember Shinobu having told you about how they tasted better when roasted and decided to pay her a visit to ask for a few tips, only to encounter what seemed to be the rest of the “Arataki-gang”, but without their name giving leader.

“Hey, I’m sorry to-”, you looked at what they were doing, only to find them stand around two beetles fighting each other, leaving you with more questions than answers, but decided to continue anyway “…interrupt you, but do you know where I can find Shinobu?”, you asked, causing all of them to immediately turn their heads around.

“You’re looking for Kuki Shinobu? Why? Do you need something from her?”, one of them immediately started questioning you, approaching you while making you feel as if you were in some sort of trouble, like you had broken an unspoken rule, but before you could continue, the man in front of you suddenly had a look of realisation on his face. “Oh, you’re her friend! The one she always spends time with after work”, he almost shouted, catching the attention of the rest, making them gather around you as well.

What followed was them bombarding you with one question after another, not leaving you any time to answer any of them, but seemingly not even minding. You had long lost the ability to even register any of their questions, since they would be interrupted in the middle of it, causing you to have to hear a completely new one, that was, until you heard a question that stood out.

“Are the two of you a couple? You must be, you always hang out with each other, and she even mentioned you a couple of times”, all other members fell silent, as all their gazes were focussed on you, awaiting your answer.

“She was talking about m-”, before you had the chance to finish your sentence, another voice rang out, this one clearly being Shinobu’s, but instead of sounding professional like usual, or relaxed like when you spent time together, this time it was filled with rage.

“You have ten seconds, whoever is in my line of sight once they are over won’t live to regret it”, in an instant, the mass of men around you were gone, all of them scattering into different directions, leaving you and Shinobu alone, she finally having calmed down somewhat. “I hate those idiots sometimes”, she stated bitterly before letting out a big sigh, her choice of words somewhat surprising you.

“They seemed… friendly”, you awkwardly stated, trying to make her forget what had just happened, but instead earning yourself a nervous stare from her, only to hear her sigh once more.

“You heard what they said, so I guess there’s no need to deny it. I like you, and I hope you do the same, do you want to go out with me?”, her confession caught you even more off-guard, leaving you frozen in place for a couple seconds before finally mustering enough working braincells together to answer.

“Sure, I feel the same”, you answered, only to find it to be an underwhelming reaction, searching for a way to continue. “Do you want to roast lavender melons together?”, you awkwardly asked while lifting the basked full of them that you held in your hand, earning yourself a small, rare chuckle from Shinobu.

“Of course”

# Paper Hearts | Mona X Reader

➵ warnings: angst, mentions of character death

➵ notes: self-indulgent drabble that has been in my drafts for a while;; I haven't written angst in a while, so I hope it's an enjoyable read!

"Being an astrologist such as I, I can see glimpses of the future." With a gentle sigh, Mona traced circular patterns on your palm, humming a familiar tune whenever you wake from your nightmares.

"Really, now?" You asked with intrigue, moving closer to envelop yourself in her warmth and comfort. The vast topic of her abilities was still confusing, for you weren’t blessed with a vision nor a magical ability. Nevertheless, you’ve shown great interest in her works ever since she has decided to teach the basics.

Running your hands through her hair, you’ve always admired how soft it was. “Maybe you can ask the stars how to manage your financial situation.” You teased, nudging her shoulder as Mona feigned an offended gasp.

“Oh hush, you! Astrology shouldn’t be used for minor things like that. Misusing the guidance of the stars can bring great misfortune to its user, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly.” She scolds, then flicking your forehead with her index finger.

“Ouch, that hurts.” You complained, only gaining a giggle as a response.

“I think you deserved it.” Mona teases before running her hands through your hair. It takes a while before she speaks again. "Sometimes, I can see things that'd make you smile, or the numerous ways that can ruin a day, if I truly wished to, of course."

With a yawn, you stretched your arms before slumping over her figure, smiling. "That sounds like a lot of fun." The atmosphere settled into a comfortable silence. Moments such as these were rare since your lover spent most of her time knee-deep in her studies; always searching treatments for ailments and illnesses yet being unable to get the answers that she wanted. You didn’t blame her, though, you know she was only trying her best.

“..Do you see us staying together for a long time, then?”

Mona freezes, turning to look at you as she contemplates the question. She can’t bring herself to answer it, she doesn’t want to destroy that tiny glimmer of hope in you. It was a question she had asked the stars, and time and time again, it had remained unanswered.

She couldn’t.

Instead, Mona interlocked her hands with yours and held tightly, as if she was afraid that you could vanish.

Instead of answering, Mona looked at you with eyes brimming with anguish. Maybe, just maybe, if she doesn't speak of it, then maybe it wouldn't come true. Maybe the universe will be kind enough to spare you from your cruel fate.

It shouldn’t have hurt as much, but it did. You already know what she saw for your future.

“I love you, so much.” She whispered ever so softly, pressing a kiss to your forehead. A promise.

“..I love you too.”

The silence hung heavily in the air, broken only the faint beeping sounds of a heart monitor.

Best daily writer!!NOT CLICKBAIT!! How about Eula and Hu Tao imagine where gn!reader rejects them😎💔

Rejecting Eula and Hu Tao

Characters: Eula, Hu Tao

Warning: none

a/n: thank you <3 Writing so much Hu tao rejection recently actually breaks my heart too ahhh

• Eula met you first in the tavern, she couldn’t take her eyes off of you. To her, you were an anomaly. Someone like her could never truly stray from her aristocratic nature, so you were a breath of fresh air.

• Eula became friends with you and had a very unusual attitude towards you. She would try and sway you towards her romantically with her words and drop flirtatious hints. You would notice them but you just thought it was her personality.

• The night she confessed was at the same tavern she met you at, the alcohol giving her a surplus of confidence. You were Eula’s safety net and your duty was to take her home at the end of the night, so you remained sober.

You were taking Eula home, her body slumped around yours as you supported the drunken woman. You decided enough was enough when her speech was slurred and she was phasing in and out of consciousness. “You know, hic... as a part of the Lawrence clan. My father was never really kind to me.” 

You knew that Eula never got emotional around you unless she was intoxicated. “He would fire all the nannies that I grew attached to because they were not beneficial network sources,” Eula stopped in her tracks, you couldn’t force her to continue walking. “Besides Master Jean and Amber, you were the first I’ve allowed my heart to truly open to.”

She moved her body closer to yours, despite having such an icy cold persona her body emitted the most comforting warmth to you. She stared directly into your eyes, her face stressed with glossy eyes. “I must admit I like you. It’s more than a like that I can describe. I like Amber, but I like you marginally more, can you explain to me what this heartache is whenever I see you?”

You wanted to pretend you didn’t hear what she said. Eula Lawrence? Liking you? You were in disbelief. It’s not that you didn’t like her, did you like her the same way she liked you? You never gave it a second thought, let alone consider yourself on the same plane as her. 

Not to mention she was far too drunk to understand her own words. You prayed she wouldn’t remember this night like many nights before so she wouldn’t seek you out for vengeance. You convinced yourself what she said wasn’t real. “I’m sorry Eula.” That was all you could say before mustering the strength to drag her body to her house. 

You swore you felt Eula’s body upon yours tremble- not from the cold, but from your unresponsiveness. Even though drunk, she couldn’t drop her pride.

• Hu Tao first met you on one of her advertising expeditions around Liyue. Your address was last on her list after having the door slammed in her face a multitude of times. Although you rejected her, unlike the rest, you were kind and gentle with her.

• You would’ve never guessed Hu Tao had a crush on you in a million years. You were frequently visited by her to the point where you would consider her a friend over an acquaintance. She would knock on your door constantly and give you little gadgets from the funeral parlor or pull little pranks on you. 

 • Hu Tao confessed to you 100% on an impulse. She just randomly had an overwhelming surge of emotion for you, she wouldn’t know what to do if she didn’t tell you right then and there. She didn’t even think about how you might respond.

Since Hu Tao kind of had a screw loose she would end up regretting spilling her emotions out to you. She had a rough day admittedly, seeking you for comfort she knocked on your door, once... twice, no answer. With an audible sigh, she turned around to find you approaching your porch with an arm full of groceries. 

“Hu Tao! Pleasant to see you drop by. It’s been a while hasn’t it?” And there you were, her knight in shining armor. You were always there whether you knew it or not to shine such a warm kindness when everyone else wasn’t. “So how’s business at the Funeral Parlor treating you? I’ll purchase a couple of trinkets to keep business running if need be.” 

She ran at a full sprint to greet you excitedly. Her sudden disappointment turning into excitement was too much for her little heart to handle, it felt like she was going to explode. She ran so fast you swore you saw little yellow butterflies appear behind her. She knocked you over with a bear hug along with all your wrapped vegetables and meats.

“IthinkIlikeyou,” She eeped super duper fast. So fast, you didn’t think you heard her correctly so you asked her to repeat herself. “I said- I think I like you.” She was more confident in her confession, but you weren’t.

You stared at her with wide eyes, Hu Tao liking you? This girl who you so fatefully accepted one night and was so ambitiously quirky. You were in denial, you always looked up to her with respect. But you couldn’t translate that respect into love, more like admiration of her courage. “I’m sorry Hu Tao... I don’t think I see you in that way,” you said at a low mumble, loud enough for Hu Tao to hear your response.

She scurried off of you before dusting herself off, now allowing you to see her face. “Pretend I didn’t say that... please. I’ll let you go now, see ya later~,” Although her words were bubbly, you could tell the aching behind them.
