(Inspired by a fic I read, I can't remember the name but if anyone finds it lmk so I can tag/credit the author)
You had been around for a long time, longer than most of the surviving gods in this era of the world.
You were not, however, credited for your deed towards humanity and its successes.
You had risen to power around the same time as Morax. It would be safe to say he would not have risen so high without you.
While you had only been a minor god, your intelligence had proven to be quite useful in the era of strength you were born into. An era of buff toddlers, you used to say.
Using this intelligence, you had decided to aid the up and coming Morax in the Archon War, as well as before it. You gained many followers due to this, as well as territory.
You did your best to protect your people, but you could only do so much against the raw strength of the power hungry deities wanting not only your lands, but your intellect as well.
Morax and his precious Guizhong had pressured you into a contract. forcing you to abandon your people to give them the upper hand in the war. You had agreed on the terms that your people would remain unharmed and safe.
This was not the end result that occurred, much to your sadness. You had been tricked by the infamous duo of the earth.
Prior to this deception, you had been close to the two gods, to the point where you could have said they were your friends and confidants. You hadn't thought of the possibility that they were using you for your power. You had thought that they were truly as loyal to you as you were to them.
You wanted to kill them both right then and there, tear them to shreds where they sat, watch as their confident body posture wilted as they passed on to the next plane of existence. But, you were not only bound by contract to see them through to a throne of the Seven, you were craving a deeper revenge, one much crueler than a quick and merciful death.
Over time, your anger concentrated onto one of the two, Morax. You had found out that Guizhong had not known that your people would be sacrificed to win the war. Once she had found out, it was too late.
Some time before her death, she had tried to reconcile with you. However, you were not so keen as to forgive her so easily. So, you made a deal, a contract.
She had to help you retrieve your lands back, as well as any descendants of what were once your people. She had agreed, desperate to regain your friendship.
The hard part was sneaking around behind the now Rex Lapis' back, as he seemed to always want the dust goddesses presence. Lucky for the two of you, he had the pressing matter of sorting out his new found responsibilities. Not so lucky for the two of you, he wanted Guizhong's help to do so.
This sparked a fight between them, pushing their already strained relationship further and further. This would be one of the last times they would talk.
Guizhong seemed to drift farther away from Morax as she drew closer to you once more.
You had to admit, you had missed her during your time apart. Her quick wit could rival your own on some topics, and her compassion was refreshing in the world of war and violence.
After regaining your land, and setting up ways for your people to prosper, you had continued to draw closer to the lady of dust.
That's why, when she perished fighting for the lord of geo, you felt as if you had once again been stabbed in the back. Deep down, you knew she had not meant to leave you all alone again, but you could not process that in your grief.
But this time, you would not publicly display your anger. No, this time would be different.
This time, you would not be forgotten and thrown away like useless trash.
After all, He was the reason she was gone. He was the reason your people had been so brutally wiped out and your lands had been taken from you.
He would pay for what he had done.
(I might work on a part two or more, lmk if I should!)

PREVIOUS || NEXT
The next day after all has happened, Zhongli noticed how you seem to be⌠happier.Â
You really werenât lying when you told him last night that you and Diluc have been getting along pretty well, because you surely never seem to take your eyes off of your phone as you type out responses to your newly found friend the whole time in the hotel room.Â
By the time you take your eyes off your phone is when you came out of the hotel room to do your activities for the day, such as eating breakfast, taking a stroll around the garden once more, visiting the convenience store once again, hanging out with a friend of yours by Good Hunter, and so on.Â
The thing is, all of these had one thing in common.Â
Besides a certain experience, you kept seeing a certain red-haired man to the point where itâs no longer a coincidence. Do you two just really have the same schedule or something?Â
As you lined up for the buffet with your plate in hand, you were tempted to grab your phone and check if you received any message from a certain man, still smiling from enjoying your last conversation with him on the phone.Â
It wasnât until you hear someone clearing his throat behind you when you turn around from recognizing it, causing your eyes to brighten at the sight of the familiar man youâve been talking to for the past hour earlier.Â
âDiluc!â You greeted happily.Â
â( Name ).â He greeted, also pleasantly surprised.
âI thought you were out for work already! Didnât you mention you often go to Angelâs Share early?â You ask curiously.Â
He nodded in response. âI do. Just not today it seems, I have something important to do today.âÂ
The two of you started picking your foods by the time the food is now displayed in front of you after taking a step forward, choosing what you want to eat for breakfast all the while chatting with Diluc â a major difference a few days ago when you and the man were suffering from the awkward silence between you two.Â
Turns out, Diluc supposedly had a plus one, but the person wasnât able to make it due to not having time, hence how he finds himself being alone. Today, however, is the day when the plus one visits the hotel just to greet the wedding couple and wish them well, who will be leaving tomorrow for their honeymoon.Â
Youâre curious to know who his plus one is, but you wouldnât be surprised if itâs someone as important and highly regarded as him.Â
Once you two finished picking your meal at the same time, you started heading towards where Zhongli is, whoâs waiting for you to come at last. You paid no mind how Diluc is following you, perhaps heâs heading towards his table as well thatâs in the same direction as yours.Â
âYou could sit with me and Zhongli if you want. You two seem to know each other back then before we visited your establishment.â You offered with a smile, carefully holding your plate in fear of dropping it.Â
He shakes his head. âOh Iâll be alright. Mr. Zhongli has visited Mondstadt back then a few times and would come by for a nice tea and brunch. Though, he tends to have his chatty friend with him whenever he does.âÂ
You canât help but grin when he mentioned the chatty friend. âYou mean Venti?âÂ
Diluc nodded. âYes. He usually comes around to drink a lot of alcohol. Itâs a miracle he didnât get any sickness from drinking so much.âÂ
You visibly imagine Venti drinking lots of alcohol, causing you to laugh at the thought. âWell Iâm not surprised to hear that. He seems the kind to do that.âÂ
Before you knew it, youâre finally at your table, causing you to stop your tracks instantly and bid Diluc goodbye before sitting on your seat. If it werenât for you noticing Zhongli waving at you as well as Diluc slowing down his walk, you wouldâve not noticed the fact that you almost walked past your table thanks to you being distracted with your conversation.
âLetâs talk again next time. Enjoy your meal, Diluc.â You said as you watched Diluc giving you an acknowledged nod before walking away to where his table is.Â
By the time Diluc is long far away, Zhongli decides to speak up after taking a sip of his tea. âYou know, I was starting to think you were too busy being indecisive on your food, but I suppose I was wrong.â He said with amusement.Â
You chuckled, picking up your eating utensils. âConsider yourself lucky that I wasnât in the mood to eat seafood, lest I decide to tease you with it.âÂ
You feel satisfied seeing the cringe look on his face, grinning to yourself as you take a bite of your food.Â
â
After eating breakfast, you and Zhongli went back to your hotel room and got ready for your first activity. While your friend is getting ready to go somewhere, you decided to go visit the convenience store to buy some snacks.Â
You wanted to try something new this time, so you decided to choose snacks that are from Mondstadt instead of Liyue or Inazuma. Of course, you wouldnât forget the ones Zhongli wanted, particularly another certain drink.Â
âItâs a non-alcoholic drink called Fruits of the Festival.â He says as he zips his bag that contains the things he needed. âVenti recommended that we drink some now that there are a lot of them in stock for the celebration of the upcoming Weinlesefest festival.âÂ
With that in mind, perhaps you shouldâve taken into consideration that the drink would possibly be out of stock soon , because by the time you encounter the aisle that supposedly contains the Fruits of the Festival, there was only one bottle left.
Just as youâre about to take the bottle, you didnât notice how someone else was reaching out to it as well, causing your hand to touch his.Â
Surprised, you look at the person whoâs getting the same item as you, only to be even more surprised when you realize who it is.Â
â...Diluc?âÂ
â( Name )?âÂ
You canât help but let out a laugh, not believing that you saw your friend again coincidentally. âOh wow, I didnât expect to see you here! Are you trying to get this one?â You asked, gesturing to the drink youâre still touching.Â
He hums in agreement. âDonât worry, I could always get the other one.â He said, about to let go until you immediately let go of it.Â
âAh no, no, no! Itâs better if you take this one since itâs the last one. Consider it a payment for letting me have the grape juice last time.â You said with a laugh, gesturing to the man to take the drink.
He shakes his head, letting go of the drink. âItâs fine, you can take it. I wouldnât want you to miss out tasting something such as the Fruits of the Festival.â
You refuse to get the drink. âOh come on, itâs better if youâre the one whoâll get this.âÂ
âNo, no. Itâs fine.âÂ
âJust get it, Diluc.âÂ
âI prefer you getting it.â
âNo youââ
Suddenly, someone else takes the drink in front of the two of you, causing you to flinch in surprise.Â
âBrother Albedo! Is this blue drink the one youâre talking about?â A little girl with a red dress says before running towards where her brother is with the drink in hand, leaving you and Diluc stunned.Â
â...â
â...â
You canât help but laugh. âOh man, this reminds me of what happened back then.â You said, remembering the way you and Diluc fell into the same situation and kept insisting on whoâs taking the drink.
His lips twitch upward. âLikewise. We really have come a long way after that.âÂ
You nodded in agreement with a smile. âWe have. Though itâs really a shame none of us got the drink. Iâm sure theyâll restock soon.âÂ
âWe can visit tomorrow if youâd like.â Diluc offers. âIâm sure my plus one will be asking to go visit the store to buy some together, you can join us.âÂ
You shake your head. âAh, no need! I wouldnât want to bother you catching up with whoever your plus one is. Iâm sure Iâll eventually be able to try it when I hang out with my friend later.âÂ
He nods in understanding. âVery well then. I hope youâll enjoy the drink. If you somehow werenât able to drink it, you could always visit Angelâs Share. Itâll be available today or tomorrow.âÂ
Your eyes brighten, remembering the delightful establishment. Now that you think about it, you do miss their drinks there â so it wouldnât exactly hurt to go there before you and Zhongli leave to the airport. âAlright, Iâll keep that in mind. Thanks again, Diluc.âÂ
âSee you next time, ( Name ).âÂ
Then you two parted ways, unaware that next time is very much later.Â
â
After coming back to the hotel from the convenience store, you were itching to go visit the garden after passing by the entrance. Perhaps it wouldnât hurt to wait there for your friend instead of here when itâs time for you two to hang out.
Which is what led you to immediately get ready for your hangout once you finished unpacking the things you bought from the store.
âHow do I look?â You ask Zhongli as you come out from the bathroom, now fully dressed for your brunch. âDo I look alright?âÂ
You watched as your friend looked away from his book, looking at your outfit carefully before nodding in confirmation with a smile. âYes, you look great.âÂ
You sigh in relief, grabbing your bag from your bed to start packing up your things. âThatâs good. What will you be doing while Iâm gone?âÂ
Zhongli shrugs in response. âI donât have any plans for today, but a walk around the garden would be nice later.âÂ
âAlright. Iâll be back in a while.â You said, checking your phone for any messages (from a certain man) before putting it inside your bag.Â
âHave fun, ( Name ). Donât forget to tell Diluc I said hi.â He said with a chuckle, remembering what you told him about the wine tycoon today.Â
Your mouth opens agape. âWowâ Alright, whatever. Have fun too, Zhongli.âÂ
As you zip your bag closed after getting all the things you need, you immediately head towards the door. Maybe I should try taking pictures of some of the scenery, You thought to yourself.Â
Fortunately the trip to the garden didnât take long, and by the time you entered the hotelâs beautiful garden, you delightfully inhaled the fresh air. Thank Celestia itâs a good day today, you thought, looking around your surroundings.Â
As you walk around the area trying to find a place to sit on, you bring out your phone to take a few pictures. You were so fascinated with how each flower looked amazing in the pictures you took â with the lightning and atmosphere bringing ethereal energy to your pictures.
While admiring the pictures you took, you didnât notice a person walking towards the same direction as you, causing you to accidentally bump into them.Â
âAh, so sorry!â You said with a yelp, maintaining your balance. âI didnât mean to bump into youââ Your eyes widens when you realize who you bump into.Â
âThe apologies are all mine, I shouldâve watched where I was goinââ The red-haired manâs words slowly trail off when he hears your voice, now realizing whoâs in front of him.
â..Diluc?âÂ
â( Name )?âÂ
You let out a laugh once more. âOh wow, I canât believe this! Iâm starting to think this isnât a coincidence now â since when have you started visiting the garden?âÂ
âJust now. I wanted to see what it looks like during the daytime. What brings you here as well?âÂ
âAh, I wanted to take a stroll around the garden while waiting for my friend to come and pick me up so we can go have brunch. This place is really beautiful, isnât it?â You replied, keeping your phone aside.Â
He hums in agreement. âIt is.âÂ
You then thought of something. âWanna walk around the place together while Iâm waiting for my friend?â You asked.Â
âI donât mind.â He said with a nod.Â
And so, you two continued where you left off from last night in the garden, talking about Weinlesefest as you wait for your friend to come.Â
Throughout the stroll, Diluc explained to you all the things you needed to know about the upcoming festival. Apparently, the Weinlesefest festival is more about making new wine as they invite their Archon to drink with everyone. So it makes sense that someone like Diluc, whose entire business and establishment is famous for the amazing wine, is currently thinking of something that could make good wine.
He also explained about what you could do if you participate in the festival, particularly visit Springvale and explore around the place since itâs where the festival will be held. Ah, just hearing all the things you could do and eat made you want to consider extending your stay, but alas, you think one week in one of your favorite regions is enough for you. Besides, even if you decide to extend your stay, only Celestia knows what would happen to you once youâre back to work.Â
While you converse with your friend, you couldnât help but notice the way he looks as though thereâs something in his mind. You didnât find the guts to ask him though, thinking youâre meddling into his business if you do so. Still, youâre a bit concerned that something bad happened and you want to at least help â itâs the least you can do for everything he did for you.Â
Before you could bring up and ask whatâs on his mind, you hear someone calling out your name.Â
â ( Name )! Over here!â Your eyes light up when you hear the familiar voice of your friend, causing you and Diluc to turn around and look at the person whoâs calling you.Â
âThoma, there you are!â You greeted, walking towards the blonde-haired man whoâs also walking towards you. âAnd here I thought you werenât gonna show up any time soon, what took you so long?âÂ
Thoma spreads his arms wide as you give him a hug. âAw man, Iâm sorry for being late! I was busy helping Ayato out with preparing for his next trip, I didnât notice that I was about to be late.â He explains. The two of you quickly separate each other from your hug.
He looks at where Diluc is, causing him to stand up straight and offer the tycoon his hand. âHello! You must be the infamous Diluc Ragnvindr. A pleasure to meet you!â He says with a smile.Â
Diluc didnât hesitate to shake Thomaâs hand, giving him an acknowledged nod. âLikewise. I would like to congratulate you for your efforts in this wedding, itâs truly amazing.âÂ
The blonde-haired man lets out a bashful laugh. âOh youâre too kind, Mr. Ragnvindr! I hope I wasnât bothering you two, did I?âÂ
You hesitantly look at Diluc, who remains the same expression as always, before looking back at your friend with a smile. âAh not really. We were just talking about the Weinlesefest festival until we heard you.âÂ
âThatâs good to hear. Iâm a bit disappointed that I won't be able to experience the festival though.â Thoma lets out a sigh. âOh well, thereâs nothing we can do about it. Mind if I take ( Name ) away, Mr. Ragnvindr?âÂ
Diluc nodded in response. âOf course since thatâs what theyâre here for. Iâll see you next time once again, ( Name ).âÂ
You gave the red-haired man a grateful smile. âSee you next time, Diluc. It was fun talking to you!âÂ
â
The purpose of your brunch with Thoma is simple. Catch up with one another, talk about the things youâve missed in Inazuma while you talk about the things he missed in your trip.Â
So why, why do you feel so bothered?Â
Despite being able to listen to your dear friend and keep up with your conversation, your mind lingers on Diluc. Youâre still worried about how he seems to be out of it back in the garden â is it perhaps because of how he needs to think of a new wine?Â
âYou know, Iâm glad you and Ayato had spoken to one another about what happened back then.â Thoma confesses, causing you to be taken back by surprise. âI hope you wonât be offended with what I have to say but.. You look happier than before.âÂ
You raise your eyebrows from his words. Happier?Â
âI⌠I didnât notice that.â You replied, letting out a small laugh. âAm I really that happy because of how me and Ayato have resolved?âÂ
Thoma lets out a small laugh as well. âWell, thatâs just my guess. Did something else happen that made you happier than that?â He asks.Â
You took a second to think about it. Itâs true that ever since you and Ayato have made up, everything's been going a bit well for you, but then again, itâs sort of weird how youâre a lot happier about it than normal.Â
Is it⌠really just because of that?Â
Seeing how you hesitated, Thomaâs eyes slightly widened in surprise. âWait, did something actually happen?âÂ
You look away from Thoma, a bit flustered. âI-I really donât know either!âÂ
âReally?â
âYeah!âÂ
âThen⌠Itâs not about someone, is it?âÂ
You begin to scratch the back of your head. âWell⌠I did become friends with DilucâŚ? Thatâs the only thing that happened besides me and Ayato talking each other out about what happened.â You said, looking at your friend while you fiddled with your fingers. âHeâs fun to talk to, Iâll admit. I had a lot of fun for the past few days thanks to him.âÂ
The blonde haired man nods in agreement. âI can tell. Every time I look at you during the bachelor and reception, you look like youâre having fun talking to him,â He then lets out a laugh. âIt honestly reminded me of back then when you and Ayato were still pining for each other.âÂ
You look at him in confusion, still smiling. âHuh? What do you mean?âÂ
âWell for starters, itâs the way youâre looking and talking to him. You always pay attention to him and everything he says that you donât focus on eating your food or your surroundings much â I was able to see you while I was hosting the bachelor party.â He explains. â...Of course, Iâm sure you donât see Mr. Ragnvindr that way though, right?âÂ
You slowly glance down at your food, processing his words carefully.Â
âŚHuh.Â
You didnât notice how Thomaâs face slightly fell from how you didnât answer his question. â...You donât see him that way, right?â He repeats.Â
You want to answer yes, but something is holding you back. You donât understand, you donât really see Diluc that way right? You two are just friends â and yes, there were some moments between you two whereas your new friend made you feel⌠things â but thatâs normal, right?
This feeling⌠Isnât surely the same as what you felt towards Ayato back then, is it?
Then again⌠When was the last time you had fallen in love?Â
You wipe your now sweaty palms on your lap, starting to feel a bit conflicted from your thoughts and feelings. Even if you are in love with him, how could you even deal with it? How can you even face him knowing your feelings? What if you end up being heartbroken?Â
But if you arenât in love with him, why does that make you feel.. Unsatisfied?Â
You canât help but think about him, and you realize youâve always been thinking about him for the past few days. He makes you happy obviously, thereâs never a dull moment with him besides when you two first interacted with one another, and heâs understanding and gentle. The gentle look he gives you as he respectfully treats you well makes you feel⌠something.
He also treats you equally and always manage to get along with you despite your differences to one another. Not to mention how you always smile whenever you think of him, something that Zhongli had pointed out one time â and how you couldnât help but always get excited at the thought of whatâs to come for you and Diluc the next dayâ
Oh.
Oh.
Meanwhile, Thoma tries to think of a way to change topics. âItâs alright if youâre unsure, ( Name ).â
âNo, no, itâs fine.â You quickly reassured your friend. âI just.. Didnât realize it until you pointed it out.âÂ
âSo.. you do love him, do you?âÂ
You stayed silent for a few seconds, unsure how to break it to him. â...He makes me feel things no one has made me feel for a long time.âÂ
ââŚDoes he make you happy?â
You nodded in response. âHe makes me the happiest I can be.â He made me realize thereâs always a chance, a chance to love. You thought.
Thoma hums in understanding. âI see. Then I hope you get something good from rhat.âÂ
You smile gratefully. âThank you. Though, I feel bad our conversation went this way, we were just laughing a few minutes ago.âÂ
He quickly lets out a small laugh. âOh itâs no problem. At least you found something you didnât know, right?âÂ
You nodded. âYeah, thanks again, Thoma.âÂ
âAnything for you, ( Name ).âÂ
You decided to try and change the topic, clearing your throat. âUh, anyways, wanna share Good Hunterâs newest dessert together?âÂ
Thoma nods with a smile. âFine, but you better not finish everything in one go.âÂ
âHey!âÂ
â
It took perhaps another hour before you and Thoma decided to get the bill and get out of the restaurant. Unfortunately, your friend wonât be able to join you in going back inside Goth Grand Hotel once he drops you off, telling you how he has some things to do for Ayato and Chisato before they go off to their honeymoon destination.Â
As you enter the hotel lobby, you canât help but think back about what happened during your brunch with Thoma. What will happen between you and Diluc now? Will you still act the same as before, aware that your feelings for him are possibly more than platonic?
While thinking, you didnât notice someone behind you heading towards you until you felt them harshly gripping onto one of your shoulders.
You turn around, wondering who on Earth would be so rude to do such a thing, only for your eyes to widen when you realize who it is.Â
âGood afternoon, Mx. ( Last Name ).â Shinsuke greeted you with a smile thatâs obviously fake. âI apologize for bothering you on this fine day,â A lie, âbut I must request you to come with me somewhere more private.âÂ
You hesitated for a moment, knowing the risk if you said yes. But even so, whoâs to say what could happen if you turn down his request?Â
You look around the area, trying to look for someone who can notice your troubled situation and help you, only to unfortunately find no one around. If only you couldâve convinced Thoma to escort you back to your hotel roomâŚ
â...I suppose I could spare some time for a chat.â You said, trying to act calm.Â
You suddenly feel an eerie presence looming behind you, causing you to glance at your back and see a few bodyguards standing behind you â as if to prevent you from running away. Unlike the ones who were stationed for the wedding events, these particular guards were foreign, with strange but somewhat familiar symbols on their brooches. You could tell theyâre not like the bodyguards youâve seen.
âPerfect.â Shinsuke comments, and you start to regret accepting his offer. âCome with me.âÂ
Without letting you reply at all, the man turns and starts walking, causing the bodyguards behind you to shove you in order for you to follow, leaving you no choice but to oblige.Â
On your way, you hoped that you would at least encounter one of your friends, frantically glancing around the hotel lobby looking for a familiar face. Unfortunately, you finally arrived at what you assume is a private room.Â
Youâre going to be alone with Shinsuke and these scary bodyguards.Â
âBefore we can go in, I have one more thing to request of you.â Shinsuke spoke up before he could open the door. âTake your bag away and give it to one of the guards.âÂ
Your eyes widens, hesitantly looking at the bodyguards behind you, who all remain unfazed and emotionless. Slowly, you take out your bag from your body and pass it to one of the guards.Â
âDonât worry, they wonât open your bag and look through your things if thatâs what youâre worried about. We just need to make sure you won't try to... record anything and break our privacy.â Shinsuke said in a nice tone, as if thatâs enough to reassure you in this situation. âLetâs go inside now.â
You feel fear crawling up on your spine as you enter the room, unsure of whatâs going to happen to you.Â
The room is a conference room, with multiple chairs surrounding one long table as one of them is situated by the end of it; you assume that chair is where heâll be seated.Â
âGo sit down here.â He says, pulling back a seat thatâs right in the middle. âWe have a few things to talk about, it wonât be long, donât worry.âÂ
Swallowing down the lump in your throat, you carefully went to where the seat is, trying to contain your frantic breathing in order to hide your fear. The bodyguards that were following you both are situated outside.
By the time you sit down is when Shinsuke starts talking, not sitting down on a chair. âNow that weâre in a more private area, letâs start talking, shall we?âÂ
You nodded slowly. â..Is there a problem, Mr. Hiiragi?â You ask carefully.
He laughs, starting to walk slowly around you. âStraight to the point, I like that.â He comments. âYes, there is a problem, Mx. ( Last Name ). I'm sure you remember our conversation yesterday.âÂ
Your breath hitches; he proceeds to explain more. âYou see, this wedding is a very precious event to the Hiiragi Clan. Everyone thinks the lovely couple is perfect like straight out of a fairytale, so I like to keep it that way.â You watch as he brushes one of the chairs as he walks by. Did he find out about you and Ayato?Â
âSo when someone reported to me that they caught sight of you walking back inside the bachelor party venue together with the bride â who didnât bother hiding the fact that she was crying â I have to make sure allâs well.â He adds.Â
His eyes then narrow. âI hope you understand where Iâm coming from, and I fear that you might take the opportunity to taint the Hiiragi name and accuse that Chisato is unhappily married to Kamisato Ayato.âÂ
You shook your head frantically. âN-No, I wouldnât dare to do such a thing to my friends.âÂ
âHow should I know if youâre telling the truth? And before I knew it, the media would talk about how Chisato had unwillingly married the CEO of the Yashiro Company because of you and your schemes!âÂ
âI am telling the truth, Mr. Hiiragi! I wish nothing but happiness for the couple.âÂ
âAs if thatâs enough to do so.â He lets out a âtskâ, glaring down at you. âI have no choice but to get rid of you. Who knows when you will eventually risk tearing down my reputation!âÂ
You gasp aloud, immediately standing up from your seat. âGet rid of me?! But Mr. Hiiragi, thatâs too much! I havenât done anything ever since the bachelor party happenedââ
âYou dare to raise your voice on me!? Did you forget your place, or shall I remind you?!â He exclaims. You panic when he suddenly storms towards you, his hand slowly raises up to hit you.Â
Suddenly, the door opens, causing the man to stop himself from hitting you and look at the intruder.Â
âWas I interrupting something?â Â
Your eyes brighten when you recognize the personâs voice, and you look at the intruder whoâs standing by the doorway.Â
âO-Oh, Mr. Ragnvindr!â Shinsuke spoke, his tone is now nice and kind unlike a few seconds ago. âWhat a lovely surprise. I was just having a special meeting with Mx. ( Last Name ) regarding the weddingââ
âIâm here to talk about your pesky bodyguards who arenât doing their job rightâ Diluc spoke, his voice dark and cold â a big comparison to his gentle tone when he talks to you. âI was just passing by when they suddenly confronted me and dared to lay a hand on me for no reason.âÂ
You saw the way Shinsukeâs eyes widened, his eyebrows furrowing. âWhat?! How unprofessional of them! Where are they now?âÂ
Diluc opens the door wide. âFeel free to go check on them. I had to defend myself since they tried to fight me. Had this happened to someone else, I fear an innocent person would get hurt by their recklessness.â He scolded Shinsuke, who hesitated from his offer to check on the bodyguards.Â
The elder man glances at you, causing you to freeze up from his glare. âThis isnât over yet.â He mouths before looking back at the red-haired man. âI apologize sincerely on behalf of my bodyguards. Iâll make sure it wonât happen ever again.âÂ
âGood. Now leave.âÂ
Begrudgingly, Shinsuke heads out from the conference room. By the time the CEO is out of your sight, Diluc looks in your direction.
You feel your shoulders starting to relax. âDiluc.â
His eyes softened. â( Name ).â He then gestures to you to come with him. âCome with me. Letâs get you out of here.âÂ
When you come out of the conference room with Diluc being by your side, youâre surprised to see the sight of Shinsuke standing over the bodyguards on the ground, some groaning out in pain while some were out cold. Just what did Diluc do to them?Â
You dare not to question it, youâre just grateful that he saved you from Shinsuke.Â
As soon as you two are somewhere where most people donât come to in the lobby, you let out a breath you didnât know youâre holding.Â
âAre you alright?â Diluc asks worryingly, giving you your bag you didnât know he was holding. âWhat happened back there?âÂ
You slowly grab your bag from him, avoiding his gaze. âI⌠I donât know.. He just took me to that room and threatened me for something that happened in the bachelor party. I wouldnât dare to do that to my friends.â You clench your teeth at the audacity the cruel CEO has. âIâm just grateful you were able to come by before something happened. How did you know I was there?âÂ
âI saw one of the guards holding your bag.â He answers honestly. âI recognized it was the one you were carrying when we were taking a stroll around the garden, so I had to investigate. Did they hurt you?âÂ
You shook your head. âMr. Hiiragi was about to, but you made it in time before he could hurt me.âÂ
Dilucâs eyes slightly widened, before quickly narrowing his eyes at the thought that someone would dare to hurt you. âHow dare he.. I knew he wasnât good news.âÂ
âItâs fine⌠None of us couldâve predicted he would do something like this.â You mumbled. It was technically a lie, you knew someone like Shinsuke would do this, but you didnât want your friend to be worried and angry. âThank you for your help, Diluc. I owe you a lot.âÂ
âAnything for you.â He replied. He suddenly puts a hand on your shoulder in an attempt to comfort you, causing your heart to start beating fast while your cheeks begin to warm up from his words and gestures. âYou donât owe me anything. Just⌠be more careful, I donât want you to get hurt by someone as cruel and despicable as him.âÂ
You nodded slowly, your mouth twitching upwards. âIâll try.âÂ
âWere you heading towards your room?â He asks, and you hum softly in response. âI could escort you back there if youâd like. Just in case Mr. Hiiragi dares to come to you again.âÂ
You shook your head. âOh I donât want to bother you. I think I can go back on my own.âÂ
âI insist. It would hurt me if something bad happens to you again when I couldâve helped you.â He insists. âCome.âÂ
â...Thank you again, Diluc.â You spoke softly before the two of you started heading towards the elevator area thatâs across the hotel lobby from where you are.
The two of you didnât say a word to one another while youâre walking, but you didnât mind. You were still shaken up by what happened. Who knows when Shinsuke will try to bother you again? What if he comes to Liyue and ruins your life?Â
âWill you be alright, ( Name )?â He suddenly asks, causing your worrisome thoughts to fade away from his voice.Â
Before you could say anything, someone suddenly called Dilucâs name.Â
âDiluc?âÂ
You look around the area to look for the person who was calling your friend, spotting a woman standing not too far away from where you and Diluc are with her eyes brightening.Â
âThere you are! I was looking around for you.â She spoke, walking towards you two with a smile on her face. âDid you just get out of the hotel room?âÂ
You canât help but admire the woman whoâs now standing in front of you two. Sheâs quite beautiful, you admit. Is she perhaps a friend of Diluc? Or an acquaintance of his in the business world?Â
Or⌠Is she his plus one?Â
Diluc shakes his head. âNo, I just happened to come across a friend of mine and got distracted. Did you wait for too long?âÂ
The woman shakes her head as well, smiling reassuringly. âAh no, donât worry. I just entered the hotel.â She then looks at you. âHello, whatâs your name?â She asks you politely, causing your eyes to widen a bit in surprise.Â
âOh uhm.. My name is ( Name ) ( Last Name ). Itâs a pleasure to meet you, MsâŚ?âÂ
âYou can call me Jean. Thank you for keeping Diluc company while I was gone. I feel bad that I wasnât able to attend the wedding.â Jean said.Â
Ah, so she is his plus one.Â
You try to ignore a strange feeling bubbling in your chest. âItâs no problem, Iâm glad Iâm friends with someone like Diluc. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot more about Mondstadt thanks to him.âÂ
Jean giggles, a tune thatâs so sweet in your ears. âIâm glad my fiancĂŠ made a friend. I hope Iâll get to know you more, ( Name ).â
You felt like your heart dropped when you heard what Jean called Diluc, your face almost fell.Â
âŚ
FiancĂŠ?Â
â...O-Oh, you guys are engaged?â You asked, stunned from your realization.Â
Jean instantly covers her mouth. âOh, my bad.âÂ
âItâs alright, Jean.â Diluc reassures her, you saw the way he looks at her. Itâs different than the way he looks at you. âI was meaning to invite them to the wedding before they leave for Liyue.âÂ
Jean sighs in relief, then looks at you with an apologetic smile. âI apologize for the shock. But yes, me and Diluc are set to be married in December. We havenât announced our engagement to the public yet so weâd appreciate it if you could keep it a secret until itâs announced. Iâll make sure to give you an invitation tomorrow if thatâs fine with you!âÂ
You felt sick, swallowing the sour taste of heartbreak in your throat. âOf course! Iâm honored Iâm invited to your wedding. Congratulations on your engagement.âÂ
Youâre too caught up with the sudden news that you didnât notice the way Diluc looks at you in concern.
Jean didnât notice either, still smiling happily. âGreat, I hope weâll talk again next time. Iâm afraid Diluc and I have to go now to meet Mr. and Mrs. Kamisato before they leave. I hope youâll enjoy your stay in Mondstadt until you leave! Shall we, Diluc?âÂ
The red-haired man hesitantly looks at you, and you remembered how he was supposed to escort you. You feel selfish for wanting him to go with you, but you knew your place.Â
âGo.â You mouth to Diluc with a reassuringly small smile, despite your heart wanting him to stay. âIâll see you two next time. Itâs nice to meet you as well, Jean.â
â...See you next time, ( Name ).â Diluc spoke up before walking towards Jean.Â
Without another word, you turn away and walk back to where youâre supposed to be going. Away from Shinsuke, from your heartbreak,Â
And away from Diluc. Your first love for the first time in 4 years.Â
You tried your best to hold onto your facade that everythingâs normal and okay as youâre on your way back to the hotel room rushedly, your heart racing and lips shaking from what just happened.Â
You arenât sure if you were overwhelmed by what happened between you and Shinsuke, or from the unrequited love between you and Diluc.Â
You shouldâve known he wouldnât be single. You shouldâve known he was taken by someone as beautiful and amazing as Jean. You shouldâve remained oblivious to your feelings towards him,
You shouldâve known he would never see you that way.
By the time you enter the room and close the door behind you, you knelt down on the ground and let out a sob, dropping your bag as you cover your face with your hands.Â
Fuck, fuck, fuck!Â
Everything hurts. Everything is too much. You feel like youâre being burned inside as your heart aches deeply. You feel like you want to jump off a cliff and land in an ocean, never to be seen again. Why did you had to find out youâre in love when you found out your love is unrequited? Why is this happening to you? What did you do in your past life to deserve such cruelty?Â
You were so busy crying that you didnât notice Zhongli walking towards you in concern. Words didnât exchange between you two, but your friend knew what to do. He always comforts you whenever you cry about Ayato after drinking too much back then, reassuring you that youâll eventually move on someday.Â
He kneels down beside you, wrapping an arm around your shoulder comfortingly. You didnât hesitate to lean your head on his shoulder as a result, continuing to let out your wails and tears.Â
âI fell in love, but he⌠He belongs to another. Why does this always happen to me?â You sobbed.Â
Zhongli slowly pulls you closer to him. âI do not know.â
You let out another sob, closing your eyes shut. âIt hurts.âÂ
He closes his eyes as well, his heart aches at the sound of your cries. âI know.âÂ
That day, you didnât look at your phone anymore to see if he sent you a message. Spending the rest of your time engulfed in heartbreak as your dearest friend comforts you.Â
Just when you thought you were willing to fall in love, that chance was once again out of your reach.
Itâs true he made you realize thereâs always a chance, a chance to love.
Just not a chance to love him.
â
Somewhere by the hotelâs parking lot, someone is going through the same thing as you.
Thoma leans against the steering wheel of his car, exhaling deeply as he closes his eyes.
He knew heâd never have the chance to win your heart, yet it still hurts to think that youâre now in love with someone else. Donât get him wrong, heâs truly happy for you â especially knowing that you have never bothered trying to give love a chance again and never had a date with anyone since the break up.
He just wished it was him you had fallen in love with, even though it sounds as impossible as going to outer space in this life.
But nevertheless, it wasnât the fact that his love for you stayed strong and you still see him as just a friendâ
It was the fact that youâre in love with a man whoâs out of your reach.
Thoma didnât know what to think when he learned you love Diluc. He wanted to be happy for you â he knows the man has a good heart after hearing so many good things about him â but he knew youâre going to be heartbroken when you learned about his secret engagement with one of the most powerful and well-respected women in Mondstadt.
Thereâs nothing he can do about it. He can only hope youâd get through the same pain you felt back then.
Thoma lets out a sigh, leaning back up from the steering wheel.
Even if he cannot provide it, the blonde-haired man just wished that someday, youâd love someone who loves you too, with nothing that can stop you both,
Unlike the men you fell in love with.

I'll hopefully be posting a Lisa fic I've working on soon đł. No one can dethrone Genshin's og Electro mommy.

NSFW under cut
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Personally I like to think about a Gorou who is secretly a pervert (as the title would suggest lol)
We already know that he has little to no experience with romance and I doubt he's ever really thought about sex or attempted to have it
But all that changed the moment he met you
No matter what he's doing, whenever his eyes catch yours or his sensitive nose picks up on your sweet scent, he can't help but feel flustered, his tail starting to wag uncontrollably
At first he tries to hide his deeper desires, but as time goes on and you two get closer, it's painfully obvious
Often times when talking with him, you catch his eyes drifting to your chest, hips and butt
Daydreaming about railing you right then and there, hearing you beg and moan for more
How he longs to feel your warm, tight walls around his cock, milking him for all he's worth
At this point Gorou has completely tuned you out, practically drooling over you
At times when you aren't together, and the rare moments when he has free time, he watch you from afar, still lost in his carnal daydreams
He'll approach you, sheepishly inviting to go to the hot springs with him...For team building of course! The resistance is stronger when then bond between members is stronger
Really it's just an excuse to see you naked
And when you come to him about being worried that someone may have been watching you change, you don't miss how he squirms a bit, and merely brushes off the issue
But to make you feel better, he'll walk with you from the changing room to the spring from now on, how kind of him!
When Gorou is in his heat however things get a little more intense
He becomes more bold with his advances, grabbing you in increasingly more risque locations
He somehow always finds a way to "accidentally" bump into you
When training you'll notice his hands seem to be much lower than usual, though he assures you he's just adjusting your form
His most favorite act of however is stealing your worn clothes for his own pleasure
Gorou inhaled deeply, your scent sending shivers throughout his body. His heat has sharpened his senses and with each breath, he can feel his mind get hazier and hazier. Gorou fisted his cock furiously, his eyes falling upon your sleeping form. His ears twitching at every sound and whimper you make, he wonders if you were dreaming about him. The thought alone is enough to fuel his desires again, his member painfully hard and throbbing. He wondered how you would react if you woke to him balls deep inside of you, pinning you down by your wrists and leaving delicious marks over your body. A small part of him wanted to do just that, but what little clarity and humanity he had left kept him restrained. Lost in his feverish high, he accidentally let out a moan, causing you to stir in your slumber. He felt his blood run cold as he froze up, praying to the gods above that you don't wake up, and to his luck, you simply rolled over and continued sleeping. Gorou now slightly sober, decided to take this chance to leave your tent, though not without taking the stolen garments. He slinked off into the forest, ensuring he was alone before he lost himself once again. He lifted the garments, the pale moonlight revealing them to be a pair of your underwear. Gorou felt ashamed and disgusted with himself, yet his body betrayed him once more as his brain fogged over. He tentatively wrapped the underwear around his cock, pumping vigorously. His mind flashes with images of you riding his cock like there's no tomorrow, his hips thrusting upwards to meet yours. He imagines filling you up to brim with his puppies, forever claiming you as his own, and leaving marks to prove it. These thoughts push him over the edge and with one final stroke he lets out a strained moan, shooting hot jets of white into the night sky. As Gorou comes down from his high, he looks at the mess he created, mortified. Your underwear has been stained, coated in his thick cum. He scrambles to fix his clothing as he thinks of a way to return the clothing back to you unnoticed. Little did he know, that night you hadn't been asleep at all.

He lowers his voice and speaks in a sultry tone. "I've taken quite the liking to you." His hand drops to hold your throat and leans closer to your ear. "How about you be mine?"
You scoff and peel his hand off of your neck.
"Are you kidding me?"
He chuckles and steps back from you, allowing you a tiny smidge of space.
"Why won't you look at me, hm? Scared you won't be able to resist after seeing my handsome face?"
"Don't be ridiculous!" You turn around to look at him and glance at the door behind him, wondering if you had bitten off more than you could chew. He notices your gaze shifting to the door.
"Surely you're not thinking of leaving already? You're the one who brought me here after all."
You bring your attention back to him and make eye contact with him, sighing as you take note of his cocky smirk. You brace yourself with a deep breath and speak as steadily as your nerves allow you.
"I've gotten lots of complaints about you from both students and teachers" You pause to observe his reaction, continuing when he stays silent. "Since I'm the school council president, you fall under my responsibility." He doesn't stop looking at you the entire time you speak and you falter slightly under his intense gaze. "So, um.. I'd appreciate if you brushed up on your behaviour."
He seems to genuinely take in what you say and you internally celebrate, hopeful that he'll agree and reduce your future workload. It was hard work always cleaning up his messes after all.
"Quite demanding, aren't we? I'll consider it if you do a favour for me."
You quirk an eyebrow up at him and he grins down at you. You mentally prepare for his next words. God forbid if he asks you to do his homework for the next month. You had enough on your plate.
"If you let me fuck you, I might just stop."
His words come out naturally, as if this was a normal request to make. Your eyes widen and you take a moment to process his words. Did you hear him right?
"W-What? Are you insane?" You back up and hit the table behind you, gripping onto the edge of it as to not lose your footing. He chuckles at your speechlessness and takes a step toward you, leaving you no space to move.
"Maybe I am. Now will you let me fuck you or not? I don't have all day to wait for you to decide."
You lean back as much as you can and turn away, distancing yourself from him. Seemingly unhappy with the newly added space between the two of you, he leans in again and cages you in between his arms. Your eyes wander all over the room, looking anywhere but at him.
"W-We can't.." You squeeze your eyes shut and let out a noise somewhat akin to a squeak when you feel him take a strand of your hair and twirl it around. He murmurs softly to you.
"We can't? We're both adults here and I've seen the way you look at me. Don't pretend you don't want this too."
You look into his eyes, filled with desire. He glances down at your lips and you at his. It doesn't take much more before you're both leaning in to capture each other's lips in a hungry kiss.
Your fingers play with his hair and his hands wander to your waist. He pushes you down onto the table, one hand behind your head to make sure you don't hurt yourself. You chuckle to yourself at this sweet gesture. He pulls away and starts kissing down your neck.
"What're you laughin' at, huh?" he mumbles agains your skin. His breath tickles your neck and you giggle again.
"Nothing, just.. didn't know there was a soft side to you."
He bites down hard on your neck at this and you wince.
"What was that for?!"
"I'll show you how rough I can be and you'll regret calling me soft."
He leans back in for a rough kiss and starts unbuttoning your shirt. You get the hint and unbuckle your belt, but as you start to wiggle out of your pants, he grabs your wrist and stops you.
"Leave it on. The door's still unlocked y'know."
You glare at him, silently telling him to let go of you so you could lock the door properly and he chuckles, tightening his grip on your wrists.
"That's it.. Keep looking at me with that look on your face. Makes me wanna ruin you all the more."
He lets go of your wrists and turns you around to face away from him and before you can question what he's doing, he presses your face into the table and you groan out from the force. You scold him to be more careful and you receive no response as he moves to pull your pants down just enough to expose your eager hole.
Without warning, he sticks a finger in, poking around your insides as you struggle to suppress your sounds. He notices this and tries even harder to pull some noises out of you, adding another finger and stretching you out with a scissoring motion.
"Stop teasing, you asshole.. Put it in already." You say through gritted teeth. To emphasise how badly you need him, you wiggle your hips enticingly, which only earns you a harsh smack on the ass.
"Patience is a virtue. One you clearly lack, my dear." And with that, he pulls out his fingers, leaving you empty, but not for long as he abruptly thrusts his cock into you. You curse him out and grip the edge of the table, unprepared for the intrusion, and he laughs at you.
"What was that earlier? You could never like me? Hah.. Don't make me laugh. Look at you now, drooling over my cock and I haven't even started moving yet."
"You talk too much.." You mumble and he slaps your ass again, making you jolt. He grabs onto the fat of your hip roughly and his other hand wraps around your throat as he starts pulling out slowly, only to harshly slam his cock back into you.
He continues with this slow but rough pace for a while until you beg for him to "go faster!!", to which he rolls his eyes but obliges.
A mix of lewd, wet noises and the both of your groans and moans fills the classroom, the both of you getting lost in the pleasure and forgetting that you're still in school. You could've sworn you heard some footsteps coming down the corridor, just stopping outside your classroom, but who knows? You were certainly too far gone to care.
He fucks you mercilessly, not letting up on his harsh pace at all, abusing your poor hole and you're sure you'll be feeling the effects tomorrow, but right now, all you could think about sucking his cock back into your greedy hole.
You feel his breath tickle your ear as he leans down to talk to you and you vaguely hear him say something along the lines of.. cumming inside? Your cockdrunk brain can barely hear, let alone process what he's saying to you, only begging for more pleasure and you hear his melodious laugh ring beside you as you realises you're completely in subspace.
At some point you swear your vision blacks and the next thing you know, you wake up, confused and alone. Blinking a few times, you try to regain your senses and look around. Anger and embarrassment paint your face red as you remember what happened. You scan the room for your clothes and you find them folded in a neat pile, with your phone on top. Your phone screen lights up and you squint to read the top message:
'I'll be seeing you again, my lovely council president.' - Unknown
