ZHONGLI didn’t mind at all, no matter if you told him or not. Actually, you could tell him everything because he trusted you as much as you probably do the same to him. To him, trust is what builds a connection, a relationship.
“Someone wrote me a letter.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“It’s a love confession,” you chuckled, reading the letter to yourself in front of him, of course, without really disclosing even a single bit of its content. Tucking it then behind you, you turn to him with an awkward smile, “I hope I could politely decline them but… seeing that it is an anonymous letter, I couldn’t really do anything else unelss they show up.”
Sensing your frustration, he reaches out his hand to yours, gingerly rubbing your skin with his thumb, “It will work out, my love, there’s no need to worry. If you need me, I’ll be here to help.”
┌───────── · · · · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊
XIAO refuses to speak of it. His feelings are rather… complicated, if he could confess it, that is. As expected, he doesn’t really show any other expression on his facade except annoyance, which is really usual for him. But the reason for this, however, is because he doesn’t know what to react at all.

long overdue for me to write smth for yall omg 😭 i kinda took an unscheduled mini break from writing bc I'd managed to burn myself out a lil lmao
once again the way i wrote these rly changes as u go down but I thought the concept was cute so 😩 also peep me finally trying to write smth for thoma after wanting to for weeks now 🤩
Kaeya would embrace you often, but rarely tightly. Casual hugs and frequent pecks to the cheek are common with him, but only when you really manage to get to know him and only if he ever shows you how emotionally vulnerable he can be will he ever hold you tight. If you reach that threshold in your relationship, he will wrap his arms around you and softly declare that he never wants to let you go again.
Diluc is far less frequent with the way he holds you, by which he simply chooses to do so exclusively from the comfort of behind closed doors. When you're alone together, expect to be held as if you're the most precious thing in the world, warm and tender as he wants nothing more than to enjoy spending time with you. His hugs are soothing, enough to comfort you even when you feel inconsolable.
When you're embraced by Albedo, expect to get a noseful of chemical scent. He almost always smells strongly of whatever scientific experiment he has been enacting last. However, his hugs are tight and sincere. He holds you like he means it, like he's trying to squeeze every last drop of whatever emotion he's feeling at the time out into it.
Childe would hold you like he couldn't ever let go of you. His embraces are enthusiastic and full of passion, quite literally sweeping you off your feet if it has been a particularly long time since you last saw him, barrelling into you and knocking the breath from your lungs. With his frequent travelling, often he will come back home to you and just spend an entire evening holding you in his arms to make up for all the time with you he has missed.
Zhongli's embraces are all-encompassing, but not suffocating. They're warm, usually accompanied by a gentle kiss to the top of your head. More often than not, you find yourself in his arms particularly at the end of rather long days, the simple action completely eradicating any stresses you had had to endure. They're comfortable enough to have you falling asleep wherever it happens, sometimes even catching yourself close to dozing off when you're stood up.
Xiao rarely holds you at all. Not because he doesn't want to, but instead because he feels like something bad will happen to you if he does. If you do manage to convince him otherwise, to reassure him that you'll be completely fine, he holds you delicately- as if you're made of glass. Any wrong move and he thinks you'll shatter. You promise him that you won't and his arms wrap the tiniest bit tighter.
When you're held by Kazuha, it's tender but fleeting. As if he can't bring himself to hold onto you for longer than a few moments. Approach him about it and he'll go quiet, softly explaining that even if he holds you forever he's worried you'll still end up slipping out of his grasp. You find, however, under cover of night, he holds you tighter. When he thinks you're asleep, he will wrap his arms around you and stay like that for the entire night.
Venti embraces you often, no matter the occasion. It's his favourite way of showing affection and with you at the receiving end it happens pretty much all the time. It'll be rare to not find him by your side, drawing you close to him, even with something as simple as keeping his arm draped around you. One of his favourite ways to hold you is with you nestled in his lap as he places his head in the dip between your neck and shoulder.
The way that Thoma embraces you somehow always manages to leave you breathless. It isn't often that you get to, usually just the first few moments of seeing one another again after time apart, but he scoops you into his arms in such an overwhelmingly passionate manner. You swear every time you're able to feel just how much he loves you with those welcoming hugs alone. If your time apart has been especially fraught with concern, those simple hugs manage to make it feel like everything is going to be alright again.

[Genshin Masterlist]
There are veryyyyy tiny archon quest spoilers for Thoma's if u squint and I rly do mean its the tiniest thing mentioned in passing but just be careful if u haven't gotten to those yet <3
Your first kiss with Kaeya is sweet, soft and gentle. He just can't seem to help himself anymore around you, pulling you close to him one evening under the stars and pressing his lips to yours like his life depends on it. You weren't even dating yet, but at least this way you finally knew how you felt about one another. Perhaps, just maybe, he had been planning it this way all along.
The first time Diluc kisses you is absolutely out of the blue. He's been planning the perfect time to for weeks now, meticulously making sure that he has everything in place. He'll ask you if he can after dinner one night, he's decided.
But it doesn't go to plan at all when he comes home one night and you're there waiting for him, surprising him with a home-cooked meal and a tender smile. He sweeps you into his arms and kisses you on the spot.
Albedo isn't the type to plan out something like a first kiss. Not to say that it wouldn't be something he cared about, moreso if you're at the point of your relationship where you want to kiss, it'll just happen naturally. The first time ends up being during something really simple, like you leaning across him whilst helping with an experiement and receiving a gentle peck as thanks.
Kissing Childe for the first time happens very early into the relationship, potentially even before you get together. It might be a little rushed, teeth clicking together and perhaps even bumping foreheads being too caught up in the moment, but you both know absolutely that it's the right thing to do right then. Regardless, it'll feel romantic and unforgettable.
Zhongli kisses you for the first time out in the open air of the Liyuean wilderness, pulling you close and dipping you low as the sun begins to set over the horizon. It'll be in the middle of one of your regular walks, a route you'd taken together maybe a hundred times before, but this and every time after will have an extra special meaning in your heart.
You're the one to initiate the first kiss with Xiao, otherwise you'd probably never reach that threshold with him. You ask him first, of course, not wanting to risk him being uncomfortable- though none of the gentle touches and general closeness between you has given you reason to believe he would be. He kisses you back experimentally, worried that something bad might happen at any moment for allowing himself to enjoy this.
Kazuha kisses you the way you imagine every fairytale protagonist gets their first kiss. Time seems to stop and all you see is him, both leaning into one another, and you swear sparks fly as your lips finally meet. He wastes no time kissing you more and more, uttering poetic sweet nothings to you between each one.
The first time you kiss Venti is probably accidental. Not in the case of neither of you wanting to in the first place, but moreso those moments where one person goes to kiss the other's cheek but they move and lock lips instead. It's clumsy and you both end up bowling over laughing about it, but it's pleasant all the same and leaves you feeling warm. Suffice to say, however, that the times following are certainly no accident.
Your first kiss with Thoma is intense and full of emotions, happening in a momentary interlude after being worried you'd lost one another. He kisses you like you're going to disappear if he doesn't, like you're his lifeline. There's a good chance you'll catch a few tears slip out of the corners of his eyes, only because it's the same moment he realises how overwhelmingly in love with you he is.

ZHONGLI had been through so much, lost so much—it frightens him sometimes how they would take you too. It was given that your lover was quite calm and collected, difficult to even stumble. Yet it was he himself who admitted his one true weakness—losing you.
“Dearest, I wish this wouldn’t sound so selfish of me, but I must confess,” he whispers to you one night as you sit on his lap with your back on his, his breath tingling by your neck and the side of your face. It was such a peaceful night that it came out of your expectation. You couldn’t see his face, his eyes, yet you knew he was serious, “What is it, my dear?” you inquire.
You felt his embrace on you tighten, as if he was afraid you’d let go—which you never would, your hand instinctively heading to his arms and reassuringly placing it over them.
That night was the moment he admitted to you his fears, the voice inside his head that a god shouldn’t even speak of in front of anyone, let alone a human. Yet he trusted you, he trusted you because he loves you. At least for now, he could hold on to you for as much as you’d let him. He just hopes that his insecurities would not suffocate you with the millenia he spent losing everyone else.
There are many unexpected moments when it comes to XIAO, he never fails to surprise you, really—just as much as you never fail to surprise him. He says he doesn’t know anything about mortal traditions and yet he actually does. He knows that giving flowers to your lover might give them joy, or maybe gifting trinkets such as crystals or jades. He knows how humans, most of the time, would desire for their partner’s attention and touch, and would ask for them if they could. He has lived for thousands of years—he has seen thousands of humans interact with each other.
You’re still surprised, however, whenever three stems of Qingxin were left by your bedside, or when he forms them into a crown to give to you, knowing you’d look good on them, just like how those kids by the harbor do towards their friends whenever they have flowers with them. He’s not clueless, but you, for one, was baffled and wanted to love him more because of this—he was trying his best for you, for this kind of love a Yaksha like him could have never expected.
VENTI may seem like the most sociable and open of all, but he can be very selfish when it comes to you. He wants to be with you all the time, he wants to feel or see your presence in the room, he wants to show you off in front of everyone else, and he also want to take you away to have a peaceful time with you and you only.
“Venti, where are you taking me now?” you laugh as you both get away from being stopped by Kaeya who had been trying to get in contact with you due to work—who could’ve known you’d even be part of the Knights of Favonius and also end up with the Anemo Archon himself? You were bound to be busy, but he’s taking your time and you couldn’t even peep a single complaint—you liked it, you loved it. Spending time with VENTI was more exciting and fun than you could’ve ever had with just doing your work alone.
Sometimes it could be a nuisance to others mostly though.
“Liyue!” he replies, grinning towards you, “Do you want to meet an old friend of mine? Guess we could pay him some visit.”
And let’s just say that’s how you met the Geo Archon that day.
THOMA is always a positive guy who’s good with his words, that was what you saw him as, no matter how much other people in Inazuma say never to mess with him—the Retainer of the Kamisato Clan. You thought they were just rumors, after all, he never showed any indication that he’s actually a scary person. When it involves the safety of you or other people he cares about, however, you realized that he could be feared of—in his own way.
“Say, what do you think the Kujou Clan—Kujou Sara, probably, will say, if I report that there are a bunch of Treasure Hoarders around this area?” he says, his eyes darting towards yours every couple of times to check how you were. It was obvious that he was trying his best not to engage in a fight, not with you there.
“What if you let us pass this road safely, we won’t report it if you do. You know, we’ll keep it a secret,” he even winked at the Treasure Hoarders as he held your hand tightly, keeping his cool throughout the interaction.
When they did, however, he went straight to the Tenryou Commission and reported what you and him both saw, “Of course, I won’t let them get away. We never know who they’ll attack next,” he smiles at you, pecking you on the cheek as you both walk hand in hand on the way home, “I know you always pass by that road too, right? Your safety, above all, is my priority, darling.”
He’s good with words—more so that he could us it as a weapon and a shield, but this definitely is one of the things he doesn’t show often unless needed.
SCARAMOUCHE is always cold. You have come to terms with his hisses and his snaps, his raised brows or his sharp glances that are usually followed by an amused chuckle or a ghost of a smile that you always fail to catch since he turns away almost immediately. It was not quite obvious, but he’s actually softer towards you than he did—actually, he spoils you whenever he can. He has subordinates guarding you whenever you’re going out without him; he replies to your letters, though it may take awhile, he reads each and every word and responds to them well; he even may have small gifts or trinkets with the letter that was sent—most of the time, they’re local goods from the region he currently is. He prides in taking care of his beloved, to be honest. He feels powerful—relieved, whenever he sees your contented smile.
“You like that?” he raises a brow, a small quirk on the side of his lips, “Of course you would, I picked that myself.”
On the other hand, he can be warm when you really opened your eyes.
KAZUHA is a calm individual, indeed he is. However rare, though, due to the circumstance, he is quite protective, especially when it’s you involved. He will draw his sword whenever needed—most of the time, he would not even think when your safety is hindered.
“Are you alright, dove?” he reaches for your face with his bandaged hand, soon followed by his other, once he had finished scanning the rest of your body if you were injured anywhere else. When he met your eyes, however, you saw it—fear.
All of a sudden, you were in a tight embrace, his hair tickling the side of your face as he whispered “I thought I lost you.” Of course, how could you forget?
Wrapping your arms on his waist, you reassure him, “You won’t, Kazu,”
He didn’t say anything else, but you knew that in his heart, he was still erratic. All you could do for now, however, was hold him and hope that it would be enough.
KAEYA, no matter how flirty he was, is extremely loyal. He’s probably one of those who’s quite sensitive to your feelings most of the time. He never fails to reassure you. Actually, if you’re the jealous type, he knows, and he’ll be trying his best to comfort you in any way.
“Look at me, love,” he has his hand on your chin, egging you to do what he says with his velvety voice. When you did, that was when you saw him slowly smile—not the smirks that he usually let out though. It was different, “Trust me on this, yeah?”
Unbeknownst to you, he was also testing you, trying to see if you were to be trusted with his own very secret—secrets he never should reveal but he found the potential to tell you anyway. Trust is something he was willing to give and receive, as long as it’s you.
GOROU, when he’s not called in for work, is rather lazy. There may be times when he feels bad for making you do all the work in the house if you’re visiting his home—which is quite messy. You think it may have been due to his work or maybe it’s already mixed with his own blood, but either way, you find him utterly adorable whenever he says “It’s alright… you know. You don’t have to clean if you don’t have to,” or “I’m sorry I got you in this… uhm… what else should I do?”
Don’t worry though because after you both clean up his house, he’ll reward you with a long session of cuddling with his tail affectionately wrapped around your waist, whispering “Thank you”s by your ear as he scatter soft kisses on your neck.
DILUC, unlike popular belief, will show his affections in public when he’s already comfortable with it. He’s not a cold and heartless man, after all. This happens slowly and gradually, however. First were holding your hand while Kaeya or maybe others like Jean, Albedo or Barbara were there, then the next would be letting your fingers interlaced with him stay as you walk down the streets of Mondstadt City, letting the others see the progress of your relationship with the most famous bachelor of the town.
The next thing you knew, he was already comfortable with pressing you forehead kisses or letting his arms circle on your waist as you two walked home after a shift of his at Angel’s Share. It takes time, but it will definitely be worth it.
CHILDE would lose to you. Yes, you got that right. You never actually see this kind of situation most of the time, but it will happen more than you’d notice. You two probably tried pillow fighting somewhere in between your relationship and he would say “Come on, hit me!” and he wouldn’t actually dodge. His hits are also light, not wanting to hurt you, of course. He fights for the thrill, the fever, the fun—but for some reason, play fights with you were the same as well. Would you be able to push him down? Beat him on your own accord? How dedicated are you to beating him and winning against him? His chest pounds at the sight of your wide grin and the sound of your laughter.
Yes, he loves this—he truly is whipped for you, huh?
AYATO may be busy, but he never takes back any promises he makes. You expected he’d be the kind to never have time for you, you were prepared for it. After all, he’s the Commissioner of the Yashiro Commission, it was a given and you’ll still love him for it. What you certainly did not expect was whenever he tries to find you always and will be making time for you whenever he wants to—which is actually most of the time.
“Ayato, darling, I thought you’re working on some papers sent by the Tenryou Commission? You know how they are with deadlines…” you muse as you snuggle next to him, yet he only tightens his grip on you and buries his face by your neck, feeling him smile next to your skin.
“I can do them later, let me indulge with my beloved for a little more.”
ALBEDO wants to know everything about love; little by little, as careful as possible. Actually, he was not just curious about the concept of love, but of you as well—the very reason why he feels this way in the first place. Everything is so new to him that even if he does have sweet moments, he is still new to everything. Which meant a lot of patience for him. One minute he could be someone who could tell you sweet little nothings but the next he could neglect you for the work in front of him. If it would be too much, let him see your mind, hear your thoughts, your voices.
“I apologize, my love. I did not know I was hurting you,” he says as he rubs your shoulder lightly, gently, almost as if it was a part of his apology after not coming home for two entire weeks without a single letter or word, buried in work above the snow of Dragonspine. He doesn’t have any experience with any of this, and he hopes that you could guide him to your needs and desires, so that he could recognize his own as well.
AETHER is extremely protective of you. Even the other Abyss members doesn’t see you that often—actually, most of them doesn’t know your face. They just know that their prince has a lover, and that was enough. When you journey or travel alone, there’s a specific emblem or some sort that reminds them not to attack you—a symbol or a mark to never bring you harm. That’s why any Adventurer or civilian that may be being attacked by the members of Abyss and you unknowingly stepped in, the members will instantly back away when they see that symbol on you.
Or else they may be the ones who will end up hurting themselves from the wrath of the prince.
You never knew about this until he himself confesses about it—which might actually take a very long time to do so.
(p.s. i actually have other plans for aether but this actually sounded better hahah)

The nail trend ft Genshin men
Synopsis: If you don't remember or have never seen it the nail trend was when girls put their hands over their boyfriend's crotch then clicked their nails together over it or laid it flat on top of his area sometimes showing off their rings as well.
Characters: Aether, Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Kazuha, Venti, Xiao
Disclaimer: This is a modern au with sexual themes. Minors get out. No pronouns are mentioned in this work but Tartaglia's part has him referring to his s/o as "girlie".
Albedo~
☆ Bless his sweet little heart he just flinches. Makes eye contact with you then looks at your phone in your hand before returning to flipping through his sketchbook.
☆ Apart of you feels a little betrayed by his overall lack luster response and you continue filming until you can actively see the print forming in his pants.
"Bedo." You chuckle, turning your phone off.
He makes eye contact with you again sliding his sketch book over to the empty side of the bed.
"It was for a video, yes?" When you nod he brushes a strand of your hair back from your face, cupping your cheeks. "Did you get the footage you needed?"
"Mhm." You slip your thumb under the button of his jeans popping it open like you had a million times over. "You're so cute, all pent up from my light touches."
His eye lids flutter, half lidded as they gaze at you with lustful intensity. "It's a natural physiological response even if the feeling was minimal."
"Why don't I give you a stronger feeling then hmm?"
Aether~
☆ Audibly hums at you a questioning look adorning his face as he looks at your phone then at you.
☆ Has to cover his face with his hands because his cheeks are beginning to flush down to his neck.
You giggle sliding your fingers beneath his. He lets your hands overtake his as you brush strands of his hair away from his cheeks with the palm of your index finger.
"You wanted to take a video of your hand on my-" He gestures
"It's a trend, sweetie."
"What kind of trend involves showing off your boyfriend's junk?"
You shake your head your smile still bright as you hoist yourself up, splaying your legs on his sides. His hands reach out to hold your waist and you dip your head in to capture his lips.
"Want me to delete the video?"
"I'd rather you just explain the trend to me if I'm being honest."
Venti~
☆ He was genuinely just resting his eyes when you come out of nowhere and place your hand palm down on his shorts.
☆ When he opens his eyes he's straight up beaming. Ofc he ruins your video as soon as he notices you're recording, shifting his hips around under your hand.
"Venti!" You try to pout but you just end up laughing setting your phone aside.
"I can't believe you have the audacity to fake pout when you disturbed my restful period. This is how I get inspiration you know." He puffs his cheeks back not even bothering to hide his smile.
"I'm sorry my love, can I make it up to you?"
His voice drops to a whisper as he gestures to his lap, "Come here."
Kazuha~
☆ He's just meditating. Hands palm down on his chest laid back against the floor. Breaths quiet almost inaudible. The tiniest quirk of a smile playing on his lips to signal your arrival is known.
☆ He's got his legs up against the mat he's resting on not moving a muscle. And he still doesn't move even when your hand is ghosting over his clothed dick.
When you realize he still hasn't said a word, nor made any sudden movements you glance over. Instantly being greeted with one crimson eye staring back at you. Lips twitching with mirth.
"What are you up to, lovely? Is this another one of your games?" He questions though he shuts his eyes again relaxing back.
"No of course not Kazu. I'm just shooting a video."
Once you're finished you're a little upset that you couldn't get him more aroused. Only a little sign of a tent peaking in his sweats. You lift yourself up onto your knees almost immediately getting pulled in. Your back flat against the mat with a now completely alert Kazuha hovering over you.
His fingers trail up the tail of your spine. "Last night wasn't enough I'm assuming." He chuckled pecking your lips.
"Kazu.."
"You should've told me, lovely. You know your happiness is also mine."
Childe~
☆ He just looks at you with wide eyes and then the shittiest grin appears on his face.
☆ He places his phone down on the dresser before snatching yours from your hand, laughing when you try to grab it back.
"What's going on girlie? Trying to get me worked up?"
"Come on Ajax! I'm trying to make a video here!"
He tosses your phone far enough that you can't reach it without climbing over him. Which is the perfect time for him to capture his victim. "Aw that's too bad sweetie." His hands are on your waist in an instant hoisting you up until you're straddling his waist.
"A-" Your voice breaks over a moan.
His arms curled around your waist, tugging you into the warmth of his hold. He sat up pressing you deeper into the grind of his hips.
"You're always saying you can't take it and yet here you are begging." His hands massage the fat of your thighs. "In spite of that however I'm guessing you're going to be good for me tonight?"
"I promise."
"No telling me you can't cum anymore?"
"I.. won't complain.."
"That's my good girlie."
Diluc~
☆ Mfer sighs like you're bothering him or sum. Got a whole attitude for what?
☆ It's ok cause you are bothering him.
"What are you doing?" He grunts, half spreading his legs, half inching away.
"No! Don't move you'll mess up my shot!"
"Why are you taking a video of my crotch?" He manages to slink his body away and you sigh.
"Haven't you ever heard of the nail trend?"
"I know nothing of any of your 'trends' why would you think I'd know this one?"
You huff which gets him to peer over at you for just a split second before returning to his book. "You're no fun."
He grunts but doesn't move anymore even with you staring directly into his soul. After a while you just get bored and leave with the terrible footage.
Xiao~
☆ Stares at you unblinking as soon as you rest your hand there.
☆ You kinda stare back but don't move your hand at all.
"Are you bored or something?" He finally asks but doesn't move away.
"I just missed you so I figured we could do this trend together."
"Ugh." He swats your hand off turning onto his side.
"Xiao Xiao!"
"What?" He mumbles
You crawl into your empty slot on the bed. One of your arms sliding under his body weight while the other linked over his waist clasping behind his back. He doesn't respond to the new movement with anything more than a small sigh of relief. The tension in his eyebrows relaxing.
"I love you, Xiao Xiao."
"Hmph." He doesn't open his eyes. "You can be so clingy." When you whine he blinks for the briefest moment taking in your slightly sullen state. "I love you too." His eyes shut.
"Yay!" You seal your excitement with a quick peck on his nose.

ZHONGLI frequently strolls around the streets of Liyue; day in or day out, he walks and walks. Every time the other people, specifically the vendors would see and recognize him, they knew what was missing and what seemed to be the problem—you, you were not with him. He looks the same on the outside; respectful, dignified, and standing tall. Yet they could never fail to miss the certain glow on his eyes, his face, and his smile whenever you stood beside him. Unknown to them, however, he had got more time in the world to wait for you. So until then, he’d wait for your return as he walks along the streets of his land, waits for the time he could finally gaze upon your beauty once again; may it be under the sun or the stars from above.
XIAO asks for two plates of Almond Tofu—which is quite unusual of him since he never had that much of an appetite before, especially mortal food. Silence had always been his company, not until you came along. You brought him the voices of humans; who they were, what they were good of, what was the light hidden amongst the darkness that he had always seen. You gave him hope and the reason for people to love him—for him to appreciate himself more. His purpose was not just to protect all of Liyue, but he became someone for you, and the same can be said with you to him. He longs for the day you come back, and until you do, he has two plates of Almond Tofu; one for you, one for him. This is a symbol of him waiting for you, and until then, he will continue to do so, no matter how long it takes.
VENTI stays at home even if he’s longing for Dandelion Wine in the evenings when he’s all alone. He waits for your arrival, hopes that this night would be the night you come home and kiss him, hug him, cuddle with him. It all seems so foreign for him to be all alone once again, but it seemed he should get used to it by now. Not long after your absence, he finds himself swallowed up by loneliness, the words falling out of his lips like a cry—but it was tuned, with a melody that seemed to have resembled like a plea, begging for you to come back soon.
THOMA is often seen by the docks, staring far off into the ocean. One can tell that if they talk to him, he wouldn’t be able to give them the attention he so often gives to others. He is very well known to the Inazumans, which is why when he goes in a state like this, they would surely know what seems to be on his mind. You, of course. Your relationship with the Retainer of the Kamisato Clan is not that much of a secret. Contrary to that, everybody knew about it. When he stands by the docks, seemingly awaiting someone, or when people see him looking forlorn despite being surrounded by the strays on the place where he usually goes, they knew. He was missing you. And despite being able to always help everyone else, there seems to be no one who could do the same to him.
SCARAMOUCHE asks his subordinates if there’s any news from you. They would often scramble to their feet, trying to get to where he is when he calls, only to be asked “Anything from Y/n yet?” Most of them would complain whenever this happens to them, but even if they do, it doesn’t really affect SCARAMOUCHE. What’s more, is that he’s more out of it, really. Instead of getting annoyed than usual, he’s more… tame, so to speak. Damn. Why can’t you leave his mind already? He’s aware of what his lackeys are thinking—that you were able to reduce him into this kind of person; searching for your presence until he’s sure that you’re safe within his arm’s reach.
KAZUHA is more silent. Beidou and the Crew could only tease him about it for a while, only for it to backfire due to him being quite good with words. “Well, of course, I miss them. What sort of lover would I be if I don’t?” he will say. However, despite the lightness and ease in his words, it was quite the opposite of the pressure on his chest, and the lack of enthusiasm with the sight of the beautiful view ahead of him. What he seeks is you, and he has no other company but his words and the wind, to comfort him in this time of need. He doesn’t dwell on these feelings quite obviously, but only his soul would be testament to how much longing he could take before he couldn’t anymore.
KAEYA talks more, this is why it’s fairly obvious to other people what he was feeling, especially with you not beside him. Despite his best efforts to attempt to hide the secrecy of his emotions, to encase it in ice, not to be freed and seen, people knew nonetheless. And even if he realizes this himself, he continues to pretend and act like he was okay, like everything was fine and nothing changed since you left. Such a shame, really. How he forces the truth in other people’s minds and his, but the hollowness in his heart continues to stay as it was—empty. Like who he truly was without you.
GOROU buries his nose on your pillow and sleeps on it, or maybe hugs it and the scent that you left off of there lulls him to sleep. It has been so long that he has been alone that he could never truly remember what it felt like anymore before you left. Everything felt so new again as if you had been fixated and remained permanent in his life. He seeks for your presence, and he could only find it with the clothes you left, or the pillow that remained empty on the nights he returns home. Home… it doesn’t even feel like one anymore without you.
DILUC drowns himself in his work. He finds comfort on a busy day, to disrupt his thoughts of you from plaguing his mind, making him corrupted of memories of when you were there, supporting him, getting him through work without making him feel exhausted afterward. But he does it again—over and over again, he thinks about you. The more he does think about you, the more he works. The bags under his eyes, the weariness of his voice, and the slump on his shoulders. No one has the heart or courage to speak up, because they knew he would only close up, return back to the old him when you still weren’t there in his life to brighten it up.
CHILDE is rather antsy, which results in him getting quite messy and irresponsible in his work. It frustrates him, but he doesn’t want to show it in front of other people, especially his subordinates. You are his strength, but you’re also his weakness as well. That is a fact he came to realize before you two had even gotten into a relationship, Yet, he accepted the challenge because he loved you—he has genuine feelings for you. It’s funny, right? A Harbinger, someone who inflicts pain to anyone, being hurt because of love. How childish, the others of his same occupation would think. But he’s proud of this relationship, of you. And he’s a mess without you, which is why you need to go back—you need to come back into his arms and make him feel whole again.
AYATO will often be seen waiting. By the lounge of the Kamisato residence, or maybe by the garden, sometimes strolling around, which will make his sibling, Ayaka, see him often. This will be a recurring habit of his, to await your return since he was too preoccupied to do his work. He will still do what he needs to, but whenever he had the chance, he waits patiently for your return. He’s selfish, he wants to see you first, to greet you first, to embrace you in his arms first. So please, just come back to him—that is his only prayer every single day.
ALBEDO works more to the point of overworking himself, much like Diluc. The only difference is that ALBEDO does this because he has no one to tell him to stop, to rest for a while—that was how convincing you were. You knew how to coax him into doing something someone like him doesn’t really need, but seeing how much you cared for him and his health, he will do so. Actually, he may even have a note by his desk, one that has your handwriting, reminding him to “Take a rest, my love.” He’d read it with your voice in his mind, making him smile unconsciously and stare at the note for a little while longer.
AETHER will try to find you. Even if he doesn’t look like it because he still does what he should while in the process of finding you, he made an oath with himself to do so, wherever you may be. He has faith that you and he will meet again. To gods be damned. The stars will one day align and make him see your eyes which he so longed for in the days you were gone.

—different situations where you take him fishing with you
CHARACTERS. Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli
THEMES. mostly fluff but a few of them have angst pls i tried it to be purely fluff but i can’t help it
NOTES. i have had this idea ever since i just fish for fun (which i still do) in liyue. i needed the achievement by buying the rod and i tried my hardest to get the liyue one haha. i usually fish while the voice audio is off so it’s rather relaxing for me since i don’t have paimon screaming in my ear all the time. also i’ll probably do another version of this one next time but with most of the charas
DO YOU LIKE MY CONTENT? SEND A TIP HERE!
ALBEDO was also in the area when you asked him to go to the only fishing area in Dragonspine. At first, he was quite confused as to why you’d ask for him to accompany you considering that you usually fish on your own all around Teyvat. However, when you two were already settled with your baits on the water, awaiting for a Snow Strider to take the bait, that was when he slowly realized the answer to his question.
“Darling?” he calls, and when you hummed as you turned to face him, his cold hand was on your cheek, caressing them gently with a soft look on his eyes.
“What is it, Bedo? Is something wrong?”
“I must be neglecting you lately, have I?” he questions straightforwardly, but before you could deny him, he adds on, “That must be the reason why you’d want us to get together today, I apologize, for being such a bad significant other to you.”
Holding onto his hand, you shake your head and smile reassuringly to him, “I may have asked you because of the same reason, but you are not a bad significant other, Albedo. I just miss you, that’s all. Klee was the one who suggested that I should go fishing with you.”
He’s hesitant, but he merely whispers and “I love you too,” before landing a chaste kiss on your lips and momentarily leaned his forehead to yours, promising to himself to hold occasional fishing trips with you and Klee someday.
It’s quite difficult if you brought CHILDE with you since he’d usually beat up monsters first even if you both will just pass by them. He obliterates them easily however it’s quite a hassle, nonetheless. Although, it’s expected of him, anyway; any plain activity with him will evolve into one with an exciteming and thrilling turn so suddenly.
“Y/n, stand back for a sec, yeah?” “Let me beat them up for a bit,” “Hey, do you need some Stained Masks? Want me to get them for you?”
You’d actually have to get him to stop since it’s hindering your supposed “peaceful” day with him, and you’d have to explain this as well.
Despite this though, he lets out a hearty laugh and takes a hold of your hand, “Alright then, I won’t go fighting monsters anymore,” his smile then curls into a smirk as he adds with a wink, “But just so you know, I’m fairly experienced at fishing, how about a match and see who has the most caught fishes?”
There is a fishing spot near the Dawn Winery and DILUC knows about it. He was silent at first about it but when you asked, he hesitatingly replied “We used to fish here too before.”
He doesn’t talk about it but it was fairly obvious that he was reminiscing about something—silent as he could ever be as he fished with you and helped you with both of your catches.
Unable to contain it, you suddenly uttered an apology to him—hesitant, you were. Turning to face you, you were faced with a confused look of your boyfriend before a gentle smile breaks on his lips, his free gloved-hand reaching to take yours. You could feel his thumb softly caress the back of your hand as he begins to say, “Thank you for bringing me here, my love. Being here brings back memories, yes, but with you here, I find that there is no way I will feel displeased by it,” and as if he knew you needed more reassurance, he leans to press a kiss on the top of your forehead, “Come now, let us put our catch into good use.”
You would think that GOROU is good at fishing, but he’s actually not. He only has knowledge about it but… he never tried fishing since he usually just tells someone to do it. Be patient with him because he does learn quite fast, nonetheless. He looks very cute while he focuses on his very first baited fish, and you’ll absolutely smile yourself when his face brightens when he gets his first catch.
“Honey look! Look! I got it! I got a Medaka! Aren’t I good?”
Your hand finds itself on the middle of his ears and began to caress one of them, “You did good, honey, now, can you help me catch a Crystalfish, yeah?”
Praising him is very important, you’ll get to see his face flushed if you do<3
KAEYA would probably be the most chill out of everyone, no pun intended. The moment you asked him, he’ll be accepting the offer, to your surprise, since don’t he have work? Truth be told, he’ll accept it since he finds this as a way of “exploring” and knowing more about Mondstadt; and you.
“So this is what you do in your free time,” he says as he struggles on a Pufferfish that he baited, “I could say, this is a great exercise.”
He’s probably trying to act cool but the fight with the Pufferfish was quite intense, but of course knowing him, he won’t complain about it and would continue helping you out for the rest of the day.
Above everyone, it is KAZUHA who is the best Fishing Buddy.
He knows how to fish, he has experience in fishing, and he’s also a great company since he will provide you with tips and advice on the activity in general.
“My, you are doing quite well, my dove, you must be a professional at this,” he chuckles as he brings in his—probably—tenth catch for the last five minutes. Even if he was doing far better than you, he still doesn’t forget to praise you for your achievements. Furthermore, he also knows a lot of fish meals and he might even cook one for you with an Adepti Seeker’s Stove. And his cooking are superb, I tell you.
“Excuse me, what?” SCARAMOUCHE hisses and raises a brow. “You want me to fish with you? Why can’t you ask other-“ he pauses, and he turns away suddenly, leaving you without an answer.
“Alright, I’ll just ask Childe if he’s free-”
His eyes pierced your soul in an instant, glaring at you with a visible frown mixed with a pout on his lips, his arms crossed as if he was hiding something so obvious already, “Who said you’re going with him? Come on, stand up, I thought you were going to fish right now? Well then? Don’t make me want to change my mind.”
THOMA is good at everything, including fishing. Definitely a rival to Kazuha, but he’s more of an expert only at the ones in Inazuma since they’re the ones that he’s used to catching.
“Now, where shall we go next, we’ve cleared this area already for now,” he pauses, “Do you need the ones in the Shipwreck? Raimei Angelfish, was it? Stay here, I’ll go get them for you, it’s dangerous there and I don’t want you to get hurt, baby,”
You were hesitant to ask VENTI to accompany you in Stormterror’s Lair, since it was part of your fishing spots, after all. He appears like he doesn't mind though but every once in awhile, he gets silent and stares off in the distance, only snapping off when his bait captures a fish or if you call his name.
You were about to say an apology to him when he suddenly beamed at you and grab a hold of another rod, “I’m not really good at fishing, so would you mind if you could teach me, windblume?”
He may not say any of his problems now but it was because he didn’t want to ruin the day by thinking of negative thoughts. He wishes that you won’t worry about him thus he shows his bright smile—but behind it is a self that he doesn’t want you to see, for now, that is.
XIAO knew that the fishing spot in Dihua Marsh has enemies near it, thus he did not bother much that you asked him to fish with you. What he did not expect is that you needed to go to various places to accompany you in the fishes that you needed to for a certain polearm that you wanted to obtain.
“Humans and their desires… all of these just for a fishing rod and a polearm… am I correct? I don’t understand how such creatures would be needed in exchange for a weapon.”
Despite this long complaint, he never did so afterwards, merely following you all day long and even carrying all your catches back to Wangshu Inn then going back to you in an instant.
“Finished?” he asks when you’ve cleared an area, and when you nod at him, he wordlessly slips his arms on your waist and teleports you both to another fishing spot.
He obviously did not memorize each one of them just for you.
It has been awhile since ZHONGLI stepped foot on the top of Mt. Aocang and when you suggested that he accompany you to fish, he was delighted at it, nonetheless. He’s probably the most thoughtful above everyone since he may be the only one who will pack snacks for both of your journeys and immediately assumes that the activity is a bonding time for the two of you.
“Here, dearest, have some of these,” he brings a sandwich near you, not expecting you to merely turn your face and bite on it since you were preoccupied with having your focus on the beautiful hues of the Abiding Angelfish that you had been eyeing at early on.
ZHONGLI smiles to himself as he watches you with your focused gaze, admiring you and your beauty in the middle of such a peaceful place.
If he’s asked, he’ll say that he’ll definitely go back here with you someday to fish again.

—instances when you brush, pat, or pet his hair or take care of it for them
CHARACTERS. Zhongli, Xiao, Venti, Thoma, Scaramouche, Kazuha, Kaeya, Gorou, Diluc, Childe, Ayato, Albedo, Aether

WARNINGS. may have spoilers on Venti. (Very) Slight suggestive on a few parts (Albedo, Venti, Thoma?) but nothing much to worry about.
NOTES. hello so this is slightly late, i know. i was out for most of today plus i also relished eating my tonkotsu ramen so i forgot the time hahaha. anyway hope you’ll like this one guys<33

ZHONGLI is steadfast as a rock and would be rather difficult to fluster despite great efforts. He’d crack a smile or two, admiring the beauty of your actions, but you’ll never win from the toughness of his shell.
“You’d like to brush my hair?” his voice was laced with confusion before he chuckled, “Well, who am I to deny such a gracious request from my beloved?”
Silence filled the room yet both of you relished on the tranquility of each other’s presence, the scent of the tea you two had still in the air, and the crickets of the night sang to further fill in the harmony of the evening.
The brush skims through his thin, long strands that didn’t seem to have that much need. Yet despite it, you made sure that nothing was left uncovered, leaving no regrets behind. By the time you finished, his eyes flutter open as he turns to you, a soft smile on his lips. He then reaches towards your cheek before he says, “I did not know such a simple thing could put my mind to ease, thank you, beloved.”
XIAO is wary, slow to open up, could stretch his wings and fly away when he feels threatened. It was night when the dark enveloped the depths and crevices of the yaksha’s heart, creeping in and soiling his already lost core. His karma—you were no strangers, you knew.
“Xiao, I’m here,” you whisper as his words pushes you away, his body stiff under your embrace, fingers on the strands of his hair. His system was shutting down, almost getting sucked in by darkness when he felt it. The way you caressed his hair still, his scalp and dark locks locks soothed by the tips of your fingers, as if pulling him from the gloom of his debt.
He breathes in as if he hadn’t all his life, panting hard as if vision clears, sight regained as he realizes he was in your room, your house. Not in Wangshu, but with you.
“Are you back?” you looked at him for a minute, and he saw the tears that were in the corner of your eyes, now falling down when you were able to confirm that he was coming to, a smile—the most beautiful smile he had ever seen—forming on your lips before you pulled him in another embrace.
“You’re back. You’re back, Xiao. I thought I lost you,” you say. He was breathing normally by the time he raised his own arms to wrap them on your waist, letting himself return your affection.
“You saved me. I am in your debt, Y/n.”
VENTI’s body is not his own. His face, his hands, his eyes, his hair and everything else is not one that was fated to him—for him. He didn’t particularly paid much attention to his desires. He was no one before you came into his life.
His giggles echoed in the room as you untangled the braids of his hair, the bluegreens coming into life at the softness of your touch.
“So brave of you to ask, my windblume,” he muses, to which you lightly slapped the back of his shoulder while chuckling.
“What? Don’t be shy now,” he teases grinning in fromr of the mirror with his hair now untied and let down.
Despite tt all, he’d be silent throughout the process, a soft smile playing on his face, yet still silent. You could tell he was savoring the moment of being taken care of, his muscles and body at ease.
His body was not his own, but with you here, every moment makes him feel like it was his all along.
THOMA had always thought of others before himself. He does not also have the time to do so, anyway. Thus when you came and changed his entire routine, it was then that he realized how much effort he puts onto others before, and with you by his side, he was slowly starting to appreciate and be selfish of the attention he had neglected from himself.
“That feels good,” he says as he lets you rub your fingertips on his scalp, your digits on his strands, “You’re so good to me, you know.”
He cracks one eye open and he reaches for your hand, placing a kiss on it for a little while before closing his eyes once again. Such a sweet man, he is, he doesn’t even know how much your heart skipped a beat and your breath halted at such a simple action.
SCARAMOUCHE would kill with the daggers of his gaze—or literally—before anyone could even touch him. Yet, like many other time, you remain his one and only weakness.
And he doesn’t know if he despised it or loved it.
“What are you-” he halts, his mouth pursing shut as you continued to brush his hair with your palm, smiling as you compliment him on how smooth it was. You chose to ignore the blush that appears on his cheeks as he continues to stare at you, forcing himself to narrow his eyes at your form; his hat on your head, a pleased look on your face. It was a good thing no one was there around both of you or else he might have dug his own grave by letting you pet his head and hair delightfully.
“I’m not a pet, Y/n,” he frowns—pouts, actually. But despite this, you could tell how much he liked it with how he doesn’t push you or your hand away.
Soft as a feather. It was natural of KAZUHA to always compliment your beauty beyond his—you’re the priority, When you offered to do his hair one particular time, he was ready to say no. Yet he knows those sparkles and glitters in your orbs, begging him to say yes, thus he did, chuckling with a “Of course, whatever you wish, my dove.”
He remains silent as you carefully brush his hair first, asking him every now and then if it hurts every time you straighten up the knotted strands of his light hair with a whisper. It warms his heart, how much you care, how much you love. By the time you finished combing snd tying his hair on his usual style, he suddenly turns around and grabs your hand, placing a kiss on each of your knuckles before standing to his feet and pressing his lips on yours.
“Thank you,” he whispers next to your skin, “you never fail to amuse me, dove.”
KAEYA has too many secrets to hide. The gravity of his sins couldn’t even compare with those that seemed visible to the eye.
When you touch his hair, you were touching his heart, his core, his soul. He wants to pull away, to never let anyone see his vulnerabilities and fragilities. Yet you, you have something in you that makes him feel… free.
Freedom’s such a heavy word, even from him who supposedly hails from Mondstadt. With your lips, he love; with your hands, he care; with your touch, he submits. You broke him out of the frozen confines of his heart, made him breathe through the air of this so-called love.
“Kaeya? Does it feel good, hun?” you asked him, and he looks into your eyes and tells the truth.
“Of course, sweetheart,” he smiles at you, “Everything you do for me is good.”
Due to his natural instincts, GOROU feels your touches with an intensity. Just merely having your fingers caress and run through his hair makes his muscles instantly ease to the touch. He accidentally lets out a few hums or moans especially since his guard was down, only to let it back up as he consciously looks around, cautious of having anyone else around.
You giggled as you gently pat on the back of his head, halting the soft attack on his hair and ears for a little while, letting the poor boy rest and take a breather, “Don’t worry, no one but me will hear you.”
“This is embarrassing,” he hides his face on the crook of your neck, but remained having his arms around you and legs propped on either side of yours—seated on your lap, actually.
“Don’t be, baby,” you purr, “I’m just pampering you for a little while. So just relax, hm?”
DILUC shielded himself from anything else, anybody else. Deflected any other care towards him and as a result, he wasn’t used to such kind of affections.
“You don’t have to,” he says as you prompt him to sit down in front of the mirror, eyes telling how much it’s not something he does not do often—ever, probably.
He remains quiet for a long while, you won’t even know if he liked if or not until you two were about to slip on the bed, suddenly feeling him hug you from behind and kissing one of your temples as he held you there for a little while.
“Would you like this to be a recurring habit every night?” he whispers, quite hesitatingly but still letting it out, “It appears you took pleasure on it, I don’t mind if you’d want to keep it that way starting from now.”
CHILDE is a wildfire, despite his wave-like strength. Yet there are times when he’s magntized by the force of your peace, and this is was one of those times.
You were taking off his mask, helping him out of pure routine when he comes home. By the time you successfully do so and had the item placed somewhere else, he takes a hold of your hand before pulling them up to his hair once again.
“Why?”
“Can you do that again?” he inquires with a shy smile.
You could only furrow your brows as you then realized what he was referring to, a smirk forming on your lips, “Want me to caress your hair?”
He pouts and he seemed to want to say no but he sooner nods, pulling you from where you both were until he plops on the couch, while letting you sit on his lap.
“Please? I’m so tired from work,” he whines, snaking his arms on your waist and settling his head on your shoulder, not before pressing a gentle kiss on it first.
AYATO‘s hair is like silk, woven by the greatest seamstresses of Inazuma, He lets you brush them since you seemed to have been wanting to—you confessed it to him, actually, by the time you two had gotten together.
He lets you do whatever you want with them; through braids, ponytails, or maybe even a bun. You let him take care of you, thus he lets you do the same to him. Actually, he’d let you play with his hair while he’s doing his work. “It calms me down,” he says, referring to the way your fingers run over his hair, your fingertips teasing his back or his shoulders or the back of his neck, brushing onto them accidentally.
ALBEDO couldn’t understand the pleasure of having their hair touched by someone—being taken care of, actually. Such a confusing topic that he can never relate to until it happened to him—you happened.
He felt it; how his shoulders eased, a sigh falling out of his lips, his back leaning to where you were behind him, and it was as if the world had gone and you and him were the only ones left. When you proposed to take a bath together, he didn’t expect for someone such as himself to feel like this. Comforting, almost like a sanctuary and an escape from the world.
“You’re silent, ‘Bedo, are you alright?” your voice pulls him out of his reverie.
“Better, actually,” he answers, “I did not know how calming it is to have someone massage though one’s scalp or let them wash their hair. Unexpected but it’s not really surprising, after all, there are nerve endings in the scalp, which makes it quite easy to let us, even such as I, to feel good.”
You could only blink as you nod even if his back was on yours, awkwardly chuckling, “Yeah.. that’s right. Anyway, would you like me to apply conditioner on your hair?”
Teyvat is a cruel world. AETHER knew of that as his footsteps wandered around, traveled and met everyone and experienced everything.
He swears to protect you, to show you that there is a light beneath the darkness. And yet, you’re the one who does it to him, who takes care of him or loves him when he didn’t know he needed it. He has his sister, and he has everything. But now, he doesn’t think he could live the same without you and your fingers sliding onto his hair, bringing them together into a braid just how much you put him together. You were now his foundation, a sanctuary he couldn’t have expected to find, the person who makes him whole and drown out all the worries away, even for a little while.

—actually, this is where you just sat on their lap for no reason to see their reaction
CHARACTERS. Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma/Tohma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli
THEMES. mostly fluff!! wholesome, honestly. kind of domestic in a way<3
thank you so much for @feifae for this lovely idea<3
DO YOU LIKE MY CONTENT? SEND A TIP HERE!
ALBEDO probably moved away first, his upper body pulling back slightly at the feeling of someone plopping on his lap. However, the second he sees you, he eases back into his normal position, saying, “Well hello there, darling. Do you need anything?” with a soft smile. You could only fluster him if you lean your head on his chest and bonus points if you wrap your arms on his waist whilst still on his lap. Expect him to chuckle a few seconds after and lean his chin on the top of your head. “Did you miss me already?”
CHILDE sputters “O-Oh?” then his facade will change in an instant, his arms circling your waist and placing his chin on your shoulder. “Is my baby starting to grow bored? Wanna go out, you say? Alright, I’ll treat you if you kiss me.” he doesn’t really mean that but if you decide to indulge him, his face will flush and he’ll probably duck his face on your neck to hide it from you or others.
DILUC would be flustered on the inside. He will probably stiffen up even if he saw that it was you but his muscles will ease up when you lean in and kiss his jaw. He’ll be careful to touch you but his gloved hands will soon find its way on your waist, holding you there gently. “I’m sorry, my love, do you want to go to bed now? Let me wrap this up and I’ll carry you soon.” a sad smile curls on his face as he presses a kiss on the crown of your head.
GOROU visibly pulls back only until he saw that it was you, only then will he relax and place a hand on you, most likely on your back or your waist. A bright smile would appear on his face at your sight, most especially if he hadn’t seen you for awhile and you surprised him by meeting up with him. “Hey there, honey.” he’d greet. Press a kiss on his forehead or scratch his ears gently and he may flush right there and then.
“What could this be?” KAEYA smirks, leaning back on his chair and placing his hands on each side of the armchair. “To what do I owe this pleasure, hm?” he’d muse. “Would you prefer it if I could take a break and take you somewhere? I can be free for you whenever you like.” he winks at you the audacity. he’s partly being genuine and partly teasing you, actually, although there may be some truth in those words.
KAZUHA acts like he isn’t affected and is trying to affect you instead, but more lowkey than Kaeya. He smiles genuinely and softly looks at you, racing a hand and starting to softly caress your hair. “Are you getting bored, dove? Would you like to hear a haiku I’ve been making?” And I promise you the haiku is really sweet because it’s most likely for you<3
SCARAMOUCHE glares at you at first, even releasing a low groan. “What now?” He tries to make it seem like he absolutely hates it but that embarrassed look on his face says it all. If you don’t speak and continue sitting there on his lap, he merely huffs and returns back to what he’s previously doing. “Just don’t bother me, hear that?” he’ll sigh “You’re so clingy… scoot closer or you’ll fall.” He’s so complicated but he likes it dw
THOMA also jumped slightly when you dropped down on his lap. “Babe?” he’d question, surprised and curious at the same time. With or without people around, his reactions would be the same nonetheless. “Need anything? Or… is this your way of saying that it’s time for cuddles? Ah you want cuddles?” he’d wrap his arms around you and pull you to his chest. “I’m quite comfortable here, thank you very much. If you want cuddles, you’ll get it here.” he’d chuckle.
VENTI is probably the hardest to fluster above everyone else. He’d look at you curiously and then perk up in joy, wrapping his arms around you to hug you tightly. “Aww, is my love missing me already?! Fret not, your bard boyfriend is here to save the day!” he’s kinda cringey but yes it happens most of the time. You can never prank a prankster… sometimes.
Be careful with XIAO. He trusts you, but he doesn’t trust himself that much. Thus, you must make your presence known first before you slowly walk towards him and then suddenly plop on his lap. “What… are you doing?” he’d slowly ask, confused and quite flushed. If you state the obvious, he’d huff and look away. However, if you move for a little bit, he might panic that you are falling and will instinctively raise his hands to hold you. Imagine his surprise that you weren’t T-T still, he might find his hands unable to move away now. Wonder why.
ZHONGLI is the calmest person here, you think? Nah. He’d awkwardly shuffle his legs when you sit on his lap, especially if he previously has his legs crossed. “Love?” he’d question, especially if you don’t usually plop on his lap randomly. “Is there something wrong?” he’d ask carefully, probably thinking you were not feeling well or you needed something from him. As a god, that’s most likely his way of thinking, completely forgetting that you’re a mortal and mortals do weird things sometimes—most of the time. If you admit it’s for nothing, he’d nonetheless relax and even offer for you to lean on his chest. Yes, very wholesome indeed.
NOTES. i’ve actually been debating whether i’ll make a taglist or not but i keep forgetting it! so now i decided i should not delay it any further hehe.
—how would they react if you stormed off after an argument (for the first time) and they thought you were leaving them for good?

THEMES. Angst; Hurt (no or with) comfort; can be reversed comfort too; has varying intensities so there are others that has fluff/crack (im looking at you heizou and kazu)
WARNINGS. may emphasize venti’s drinking on his part
NOTES. I was supposed to post another one but I really can’t stand not answering this request so good luck with two consecutive angst everyone~ I’ll post the other one next week!
ZHONGLI would look rather calm, no matter how big the argument was. He normally would not let the argument go further, but today was rather stressful, even for someone like him. With all the arguments at work and also to those who would ask for his help even when he was just on his way home, and now, everything piled up and he… maybe he needed a bit of rest.
“Let us discuss this tomorrow, beloved, I-”
However, all he heard was the sound of the doors closing, and there was no sight of you in the room.
He sighs heavily, thinking that you probably had only gone out of the room to calm down. Of course, he only realized he was the only one in the house when he woke up and there’s still not a sight of you beside him. Startled, he stood up and found himself scavenging the entire house—could you have left him?—this thought was all in his mind but as soon as he turned to the living room, there you were, sleeping so peacefully on the couch. He heaves out a sigh immediately, kneeling in front of you, taking your hands to his and bringing them to his lips. He had never in this life felt so anxious—it had been awhile, he thinks, but maybe this was more…-
“Zhongli?” He heard you call for his name by then, but before you could fully comprehend what was happening, he was hushing at you, whispering so slowly to not awaken you any further.
“There’s no need to wake, my love.” It’s going to be alright.

XIAO and you had been arguing for the whole week. Actually, he only showed up today after being gone for three straight days. Three! And now he expects you to pretend that everything is okay?

HAVE A GOOD DAY YALL <3
the lowkey toxic ones who taunt or shit talk you in party voice chat when you miss a kill or fail to clutch. they're the ones who sound so cocky and confident despite doing worse or just a tiny bit better than you. he loves affectionately bullying you but god bless and good luck to whoever else tries to attack you.
scaramouche, kaeya, childe, itto
the pros who don't talk a lot in party voice chat. they carry you throughout the game and prefer to type in chat instead. when they've had enough, the most they'll speak is to irritatedly ask you "what were you thinking?" when you do something off.
xiao, albedo, diluc
the nice people <33 spreads the best vibes around the team no matter how bad or how good you're playing. this person is everyone's personal hype man. always goes "nice try (y/n), you'll get them next time!" or "good game everyone!".
thoma, itto, venti
the quiet ones who are okay at the game. very calm, collected, and respectful whenever they're playing with anyone. they always have your back and it's a very peaceful experience to get to play with someone like them.
kazuha, xiao, albedo, diluc, dainsleif
the trolls who do the dumbest shit because they either just feel like it or they wanna get on your nerves 💀.
venti, childe, kaeya
needs you to teach him how to play everytime and rarely ever plays.
zhongli
