ZHONGLI would of course find it questionable, especially with how trusting you are to tell such a thing so effortlessly, He would be willing to lend a hand, of course. As someone who had always been of service to the people of Liyue, he would certainly feel the need to offer help. Do you need a place to stay for the night? Or maybe even for a while? Just name it and he’ll try to do it. However, the only issue would be… does Celestia know you’re here?

“What are you thinking about?”

He was pulled out of his trail of thoughts, gaze landing back to you,”It’s… it’s not something you must be weary of. For now, how about I share a story? Do tell me if you’ve heard of it. You do know a lot about this world, as you said.”

𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: diluc, kaeya, albedo, zhongli, xiao, childe, scaramouche, dainsleif, aether, kazuha and tohma

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: he hasn't gotten his daily fill of attention, and if getting it means breaking a vase, then so be it. give him attention damn it.

this is pretty rushed, i felt drowsy so i apologize if i got any characters wrong

𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐒 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐇𝐔𝐆 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐆𝐎

𝐃𝐈𝐋𝐔𝐂, despite his stoic and grumpy disposition, is quite affected by your lack of attention to him. He knows it's immature, but he wants you to smother him with your love. Diluc's been touch-starved for so long, and he's practically gotten addicted to your affection at this point.

So he'll do what he does bestーstare holes into your soul until you look at him. By the time you do, you nearly jump out of your skin. Diluc looks ready to commit homicide at a moment's notice.

When you finally give him a nice kiss on the cheek and hug him close, it's hard to tell the difference, but you can see the happy sparkles in his eyes. There's no visible smile on his face, but the way his eyes light up is enough to give away how happy he feels.

𝐙𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈 may seem like he's not affected by your sudden lack of affection, but it later clicks in his head that you haven't given him your daily torrent of kisses. In fact, you haven't given him that much of your attention at all.

He surprises you when he suddenly just hugs you from behind, his arms practically swallowing your frame. The thing is, he refuses to let go, breathing in your scent, and let out content sighs, his deep voice slipping out on occasion with each breath. It's his way of being clingy and mopey.

You finally sit on his lap while you pepper his face with kisses, and tell him how handsome he is and how smart he is, and endless praises fall from your mouth, lovingly baby-talking him, and Zhongli eagerly eats it up with a content smile.

𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐈𝐅 has been touch starved for so long, and once he got a taste of your affection, he became addicted, wanting more of your kisses, but being too shy to ask for even a simple cheek kiss. So it quite obviously affects him if you haven't paid him any attention.

He'll stare at you, not breaking his gaze for anything, and won't stop until you turn to him. When you're walking about, he'll come from behind you and embrace you, tightly. He'll stay quiet for several moments, basking in your presence to fill up his attention gauge. When he does eventually speak, he softly asks you if he hurt you in any way, and you have to reassure him that he didn't anything wrong.

His stoic face, similar to Diluc, doesn't give away his feelings, however, there is a small smile upon his lips as you pepper his face with kisses while playing with his hair and letting out the occasional praise of how cute he is, of how handsome your Dainy is, and so on. He'll refuse to let you go for some time after that.

𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐀 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍, 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐆𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃

𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐘𝐀 is a stinky and cunning bastard, he'll often talk, with you right there, about how mean and neglecting his s/o is, not giving him kisses or hugs, leaving him all alone and brokenhearted. You're so close to smacking him for being such a stinky smooth-talker.

He can and will blow hot air onto your ear, and pull away with a smug smirk as if he didn't just fluster the hell out of you. He'll continue this behavior, along with poking and prodding at you like it's nothing. Hell, Kaeya will even do the ' I'm not touching you ' just to see your reactions.

When you crack and eventually hold him close, Kaeya will have a very smug smirk as he hugs you back while ruffling your head. Don't try him, he'll just turn the tables on you. He knows damn well what he's doing after all.

𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐄 is quite the touchy and handsy young man, always having his hands on you, not caring who is watching. He loves having his hands all over you and is constantly giving you kisses as well. So he doesn't take it too well when you stop paying attention to him.

He can and he will drape himself on you, whining about how cruel and heartless you are, and clings onto you. He rubs his cheek against the top of your head as he squishes you close to him. Childe is acting likeーwell, a child.

When you get tired of his whiny ass, he will refuse to let you go, demanding payment for making him go through that hell. You deadpan at his demands, but go along with it as you ruffle his hair and press a kiss on his nose, while he eagerly smiles and soaks up the attention.

𝐓𝐎𝐇𝐌𝐀, similar to Childe, is also quite the touchy and physically affectionate man, loving the feeling of your skin against his hands. He loves holding your hand as well, as it lets him keep you close to him. Tohma also loves giving and receiving kisses as well, so you know that he's going to act offended should you not pay attention to him.

Tohma will act like a damn widow, fake sobbing and whining about how his s/o isn't giving him the love he deserves, and how they've neglected him so much. If you don't want the entirety of Inazuma to hear his whines, then you'd better drag his ass back inside. Even then good luck, since he'll continue to be a drama queen about not getting your attention.

You finally had enough of his whiny ass and kissed him, hard. Tohma was frozen for a very long time, even after you've pulled away. Then it slowly clicks in his head, and he starts getting redder and redder and hides his face in his hands. He refuses to look in your eyes and ends up being the flustered one instead.

𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐖𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐄

𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇𝐄 is such a brat about your affections; he'll hiss at you to quit it and swat you away, but later attempt to cling to you as you're busy doing your business. He may act like a brat but he's your brat, and he's the only one who gets your kisses. So he's pissed when you stop paying attention to him.

He'll give you the death stare the entire time you're not paying attention to him, and you're just deadpanning while he burns holes into your very soul. Archons forbid you to pay attention to anyone elseーhe's practically seething. Scara will march right over, and yank your hand and slap it onto his head.

You're pretty irritated because of how moody Scara is, but you just go along with it and begin to rub his head. His once irritated face has now turned into one of soft happinessーit's almost unnerving. But he's like a cute kitty, so you'll let him get away with itーthis time.

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐔𝐏𝐒𝐄𝐓

𝐀𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 is such a sweetheart that melts under your touch and kisses, and he lives for it. He also loves returning these affections as well, wanting you to know how much he loves you as well. But you really must not know how much he craves your affection because if you stop your affections, he gets antsy.

Aether is understanding if you're not in an affectionate moodーwork does take a toll on people so it's not far-fetched that you haven't kissed him in a while. But he starts to overthink, concerned if he did something wrong that upset you, and it starts to echo around his mind. So he begins to become more and more worried and has the saddest face everーlike a sad puppy.

You feel so bad that your lack of attention and affection hurt Aether in this way, so you spend a nice majority of time reassuring him and pressing comforting kisses all over his face. He's such a kind baby.

𝐀𝐋𝐁𝐄𝐃𝐎 isn't as physically affectionate or just affectionate in general as some would like, but you don't mind. You like giving him a kiss before he's off to his lab, and another to his cheek when you come to visit. He hums whenever you do so, as it feels nice and he appreciates the gesture.

At first, Albedo isn't all too bothered without the presence of your attention and affections. He does have the habit of staying up in his lab for extended periods of time after all. But if it continues, even with him being physically present, then he gets a bit salty. Not in a rude way, but more so that he just wants your attention after all that harsh lab work, and you're not sparing him a glance.

He's pretty blunt about it too, but even you don't fail to notice to subtle hurt look in his eyes. He's satisfied with your frantic answer that you didn't mean anything by it, but he won't leave until he gets your attention. You award him with a sweet kiss that lasts a few good seconds then pull away and smile.

𝐗𝐈𝐀𝐎 isn't all that familiar with affection, especially that of the physical kind. Particularly the hugs and kisses that you've introduced him to. Of course, you make sure that you're not pushing the yaksha beyond his limits and gauging how comfortable he is. He doesn't say it often, but he enjoys the gentle brush of your fingers against his cheek as you kiss the tip of his nose.

At first, Xiao just thinks that your lack of attention is just due to you being a troublesome human and seems to brush it off. But the longer he goes without your affection or attention, the more his thoughts begin to blame him. Xiao begins to wonder if he said something particularly harsh that hurt your feelings and begins to think that it's all his fault that this happened.

When you noticeーno, see how down Xiao has become, you worry that his karmic debt has become too unbearable today, so you begin to worry and fuss over him. When he finally tells you that it isn't his karmic debt, but rather, he thinks that he's pushed you away because you haven't paid him any mind. You blinkーonce, twice, before hurriedly reassuring him that it isn't his fault before you hug him close and kiss his forehead.

Xiao's pretty cute when he pouts like thatーcomplete with his blushing too.

𝐊𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐇𝐀 is such a sweet and kindhearted man, quietly accepting your physical affections with a soft blush adorning his cheeks. If you didn't know any better, you'd think that he'd almost purr, like a content cat. He rests his head on your chest as you play with his hair and whenever he wants to be embraced.

The ronin isn't visibly upset by the lack of your attention, as he keeps his usually emotionless expression on. But to those who know him best, they can see that after some time that he starts to look a bit dejected and sad without your usual kisses. He just looks like a dejected puppy at this point.

But he won't idle around, so he'll stride up to you, and softly ask if he did anything wrong, or if he hurt you in some way. You blink before you apologize for accidentally neglecting him, and offer to make it up to him. He perks up excitedly at the thought of getting lots of kisses and head rubs.

He's such a cutie.

#will you sleep with me?

—asking them this question as their best friend, what would be their reaction?

CHARACTERS. (Abyss!/)Aether, Albedo, Ayato, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli; gn! Reader

THEMES. mutual pining, no relationship yet. implied suggestive but it’s more fluff and crack, honestly. reader may have trouble sleeping (maybe as their justification of their prank or it’s real). no indication of prank or truth.

NOTES. this is actually from a request from @mastering-procrastinating when i saw the request i was like AAAAA YES NEW IDEA !! although it’s quite different since i made it prank-ish instead ehe—or is it really a prank? hmmm. enjoy reading!

┌───────── · · · · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

ZHONGLI will take the matter innocently that you may be the only one who realized that you have only said it accidentally and only realized how wrong it sounded with the way you said it.

“Why do you look so flustered, Y/n?” he’ll inquire out of curiosity, eyes peering over yours, as if investigating something that’s of utter importance.

“It’s nothing,” you say, “just—I realized how wrong my words actually sounded.”

“Hm?” he hums, “How is it wrong?”

Biting your lip, you could only chuckle awkwardly as you explained it to your best friend, who remained as calm as you expected him to be. And even after you’ve finished elaborating your statement, he could only huff out a small laugh, suddenly raising a hand to gently brush over the back of your head. “So adorable, you are. You know there’s no need to get embarrassed over these.”

Feeling your face warm up again, you cried, “How should I not, Li?! Not everyone can be calm like you!”

┌───────── · · · · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

XIAO is partly confused and flustered. “W-What did you just say?” he sputters, brows furrowed deeply and his eyes looking as if he was judging you heavily.

#whose clothes are you wearing?

—when they saw or thought you’re wearing another person’s clothes (spoiler: they’re jealous)

CHARACTERS. Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli

THEMES. jealousy, mostly fluff… maybe slightly suggestive on kazuha

NOTES. some imagines are kind of longer than others and maybe it’s just me being bias but anyway hahhaha this is kind of difficult to write for some characters (especially childe’s and kaeya’s) so i apologize if i probably made them ooc (i hope they’re not aaa) anyways enjoy!<333

ALBEDO is an intellectual. He knows which clothes are yours or what type of clothing you usually wear. However, with the coat that he saw on you today—which was partially oversized for your own form, he felt an inkling of curiosity mixed with irritation somehow. “Darling, is this yours?” he looks at the coat as he holds onto your shoulders, as if examining it as if it did not really fit your stature at all.

Perhaps it’s another man’s, then?

“Ah, yes! Master Diluc leant it to me after he saved me from the Hillichurls by the foot of the mountain.”

“Master Diluc, huh,” there was a sense of distaste in his tongue that he couldn’t fathom—a bitterness that he did not know where it originated.

Somehow, just the thought of you wearing another person’s clothes makes him feel that something is wrong.

“Perhaps… I could lend you mine? I’m not cold anyway.”

“No, it’s alright-”

“Please wear mine,” his hands dropped to yours, holding them gently with an evident frown on his face, “I feel uncomfortable to see you like this, love… I think I now understand what jealousy means.”

CHILDE instantly frowns when he sees you wearing baggier clothes than usual. His eyebrows furrow and his hands were on the sides of his waist as he straight away questions “Are those yours, babe? I don’t remember you having these kinds of clothes,” he doesn’t want to be portrayed as a jealous person but it was obvious that it’s what’s bothering him anyway. It’s practically eating him on the inside that even his subordinates may notice his lack of focus. Of course, he’s an expert at pretending but you definitely will know that something is wrong. When you lean to kiss him, his eyes will drift to your clothes and he will look very distracted.

“Childe, you know you can talk to me right?” you caress his cheek and he weakly cups your hand with his gaze falling to the ground, almost in shame at such weakness.

“I know… we can talk about this later, yeah? I’ll just have to do something,” he says even if he’s not occupied. He’ll avoid the topic especially in public but that night, he will be clinging onto you and whispering to you how he felt and he doesn’t really expect an explanation. He probably will feel at ease just knowing that you’re there with him still and that you’re not going anywhere just yet.

DILUC would not question you immediately like others. He knows he has his own boundaries and that there is a chance that it was yours to begin with, but it bugged his mind nonetheless. It is to the point that it’s fairly obvious in his face and demeanor that something is indeed bothering him. If you decide to ask him about it, then that is the time that he will decide to inquire about it with you. He sighs and looks away, quite unable to believe that he is even considering letting out such a question, “I’m just curious if what you wore earlier was yours or someone else’s. I don’t think I remember having that kind of style in your wardrobe before.” once you answer honestly that it was just something you decided to buy, he will then lose all reservations and trust you wholly.

GOROU will keep it short and precise, “Are these yours?”

“Oh, someone offered it to me earlier when I was feeling cold, does it bother you?” you inquire worriedly and despite not wanting it, he sighs in defeat. “It’s alright, it’s just… the scent is oddly distracting.”

You chuckled lightly and wrapped your hand on his and gently squeezed it in reassurance, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to wash it away later, then we can cuddle, deal?”

His mood brightens up at this; his ears perking up, his tail unconsciously wagging for a few times and his eyes glistening in delight, “Really?” he chirps before he can stop himself.

He’s just excited, that’s all.

KAEYA doesn’t want to appear jealous but definitely is. “Oh? What is this?” he scans you and his eye singles out the coat on your shoulders. “Are those Diluc’s? My, my, I didn’t know you and my brother are well-acquainted.”

“Well, he assisted me in a mission early on, also, I do talk to him whenever you’re in Angel’s Share, you know.”

Now that leaves him bothered for almost the rest of the day and he doesn’t actually talk that much about it either, choosing to avoid the topic and also your gaze—he seemingly can’t handle the way the coat fits on your form and that it was not even his to begin with. If you sense this—which you definitely will since he may unconsciously avoid you for the time being, it may not be the best option to confront him while wearing the said coat. He will only be back to himself when you two are in your house and you pepper him with kisses and comfort that he’s still the only one that holds your heartT-T

KAZUHA knows how to get his answer before you could even notice that he was questioning you. “Must this new article of clothing be something you brought?” his tone was light and there was no hint of pressure in the air. You didn’t even notice that he was eyeing you on the sides and continued what you were doing. “No it’s not, I borrowed it from Captain Beidou, why?” His brows momentarily raised but he kept his composure, “Nothing, anything fits you, love,” he leans down to press a kiss on your neck, which then lead into him almost tracing to your ear, “It’s just that…” he suddenly whispers, causing you to halt your actions and actually realize the drop in his voice, “you could have asked me instead, no? Or… do you prefer the Captain’s clothes instead of mine?”

“And whose scarf is that?” SCARAMOUCHE looks rather disgusted and pissed as he glares at the scarlet cloth that’s wrapped around your neck to keep you warm from the harsh weather of Snezhnaya. “That looks awfully familiar,” he eyes it even more and a groan escapes his lips as a memory comes to mind, one that he didn’t really like. Fingers came to hold on to his forehead and his eyes close in utter frustration, he began to question you then, “If you needed a scarf you have one, don’t you?” When you reply that you don’t, he’ll merely grumble but tomorrow morning you already have a set of new scarfs newly brought on the bed and you could only laugh because… that scarf is not even Childe’s, to begin with.

If he learns about this he’ll probably lose his composure and his ears will blush in embarrassment.

THOMA instantly crossed his arms to his chest and an evident pout was on his lips as he saw you marching in Komore Teahouse. “Babe, are you seeing someone else other than me?” he jokes lightheartedly but you could sense the awkwardness in his chuckle and the smile that doesn’t even reach his eyes. “Come, let’s eat?” he will be by your side almost the whole day and you could sense that he’s quite distracted with the coat that you were wearing. With this, you then reveal to him that it’s just something that a family member of yours gave and he will sigh exasperatingly, “You noticed that, huh? Well, I can’t really hide anything from you.” he grins while tapping your nose adoringly.

VENTI’s reaction is almost the same as Thoma’s, he’s just more direct. With crossed arms, slitted eyes and a pout on his lips, he questions you “Is that Morax’s coat? Windblume… you know you can ask for mine instead, right?” he suddenly takes off his cape and presents it to you, handing it over like an offering, even. “Here, doesn’t it look better? Seriously that guy… he’s too kind for his own good,” he was still pouting and the only thing that could probably cheer him up is if you kiss his cheek and wear his cape instead… even if his friend’s coat is warmer.

XIAO couldn’t point out why something feels wrong at the first few seconds but when he notices the cape behind you. Ah, he knows whose it is. He could even hear the bard snickering on the back of his head at the mere thought of him. “Y/n… why do you have that thing on you?” he didn’t even realize that he was glaring at it until you leaned closer and made him look into your eyes.

“Xiao… are you jealous of Venti?” you giggled and he instantly looked away, lips pursed.

“Ridiculous,” he mutters, “A huge disrespect to the Adepti. We don’t dwell with such unnecessary mortal emotions.”

He’s bothered by it though every time he sees it. He’s probably stay by your side and he doesn’t realize that he’s following you the whole day until you took off the cape and he heaves out a sigh.

With a raised brow towards his way, his eyes widen and he looks away, pretending he didn’t sound relieved when the cape was out of you.

Now he just has to worry about how you’ll return the clothing…

ZHONGLI doesn’t know the feeling but he has a hunch about it when he saw the unfamiliar coat on your form. He doesn’t question about it though, he knows that you have your freedom to buy any kind of clothes that you wanted, but it seems to bother him every single time that he catches a glimpse of it that he decides to ask you casually about it before bed time when you had finally took it off of you. “Dearest, I couldn’t help but notice,” he notices your free hand and decides to hold it gently, his thumb caressing its back as he continues on, “may I know when you brought the coat you wore earlier?” he asks, and when you finally answer, he breathes out and his whole body relaxes onto the mattress.

“I see,” he smiles at you and pulls you closer to him, “I was bothered by it over nothing,” he doesn’t specify it much but he presses a gentle kiss on your forehead and it urges you not to worry about it as well.

#thank you for coming back to me

—where you woke up after being unconscious for a long time

CHARACTERS. Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli

THEMES. hurt with comfort, more fluff than angst

WARNINGS. huge implication of being in comatose

NOTES. hello! this is a little late because it got longer than i anticipated i hope you will like this one! this is just an idea that i came up with before and listed it in my checklist so i hope that i was able to do it with justice! i’m officially out of my break now so i’ll try to post one daily (if not every other day~) so yep hello again!

DO YOU LIKE MY CONTENT? SEND A TIP HERE!

ALBEDO had rarely gone home before. But now, he was always in Mondstadt and the Church, where you were being taken care of by the Sisters while he momentarily leaves and comes back soon anyway. Word got around soon that his lover, you, had unfortunately fell ill and couldn’t wake up. So that’s why the genius Alchemist had gone down from the cold paths to his laboratory on the freezing mountain, everybody thought. They rarely see his face in the streets and now, they would frequently see him on a daily, carrying a bunch of flowers neatly wrapped in a bouquet on one hand while the other holds a sketch book.

When you woke up, he was beside you. There was a distant look on his eyes as his gaze was focused on one of the windows, looking afar outside. The light of the sun draped over his beautiful face, hair messily styled as usual. Everything was silent until he turned back to your form and his eyes met you. You could see the way they widened ever so slightly before it softened when he smiled, prompting himself to stand and walk by your side. He traces his hand on the side of your face and you could barely let out a few words, breath taken away by his appearance. What you didn’t know, he was feeling the same way.

“You had your beauty sleep for far too long, darling, but I know you’d come back to me.”

CHILDE is a mess. Ah, how did this come to be? He already went and gave revenge for you, but why are you still not awake? The wait is slowly eating him up from the inside; bags under his tired eyes, hair even messier than usual, shoulders slumped over, his confidence completely dropped down to a notch. He had gone sloppier, his subordinates would whisper around—always making the job quicker, taking care of it by himself as to be able to go home with you faster. Poor lord harbinger, they’d say, and he'd usually hear them. It didn’t help.

When you woke up, he wasn’t there, but one of his subordinates was. Nadia panicked when she saw your state and immediately called the others, hearing her shout that they should call Dr. Baizhu and their boss, Childe. He was the only one you saw despite the doctors and nurses that entered the room, appearance looking more disheveled than usual.

“What… happened…?” you tried to ask him but he only smiled and reached for the hand that you raised to attempt touching his cheeks, kissing it and holding it tight with both his hands.

“Don’t worry about me, baby, I’m just glad you’re awake now.”

DILUC rarely goes out on his night rounds anymore. He made sure that he hired the best doctors for you and he let the maids take care of you whilst he was momentarily away. Even they will sense the new schedule that their young master circled on the past few months. It was then that they truly witnessed how much he loves you.

When you came to be, it was one of the maids who stopped by that you saw first. You were already sitting on the bed, gazing out at the window and letting the sunlight bathe you gently. Moments later, doctors came and it took awhile for him to come home. He was out at that time but it was a good thing he was on his way home when Elzer came running and told him the news.

He was already reaching out to you as the others gave the two of you a moment to spend some time together. An overwhelming surge of joy came to him that he couldn’t stop himself from kissing the crown of your head and pulling them to his chest, cradling you ever so gently.

“Thank you, thank you for coming back, love.”

GOROU saw you as his peace. Whenever he seeks to take a rest and have a moment of silence, he visits you on Watatsumi Island, where the Divine Priestess herself promised to have you greatly taken care of.

By the time he entered the room, he was surprised to see you already speaking to Kokomi, who briefly smiled at him and stood up to walk out of the room and leave the two of you behind. When she was gone, he was frozen in place for the meantime until you held out your arms, “Are you not going to hug me, cutie?”

There were tears in the corner of his eyes but with a call of your name, he was already buried in your chest for you to see them, arms clenched tightly on your waist, carried away by emotions.

He said no more words as you played with his ears and he leaned his head more into your touch, clearly missing the way it was before. And now, you had came back and his sense of peace only increased.

From afar, KAEYA looks really fine. He acts and works as he would before and will always say that he’s alright. The pitiful stares, however, it’s getting to him. He didn’t like them, but he could do nothing else but pretend that everything is okay—he is okay. He drifts off into Angel’s Share often, stays overtime more, volunteers in more missions, just to get his mind off of things.

And when you woke up, he was racing back to the Church as fast as he could. It had been awhile since he visited you, and he felt embarrassed by it.

“I’m sorry,” were his first words, letting you embrace him as he hid his face on your side, but nonetheless wrapping his arms on your waist. And as you whispered to him affirmations that everything was going to be okay, the tension in his muscles relaxed and there, what he appeared to be these past few months all came true because of you.

KAZUHA never left your side ever since. Beidou lets him nurse you and also visits you frequently when she can. He receives pay from her even if he wasn’t in the Crew for awhile and he’s grateful for her. He dedicates himself in another undemanding side job and in taking care of you daily. He makes sure he makes haiku and poems for you and he’s in the room with you while he’s in the process of making them, reading and thinking aloud for you to hear his voice.

When you woke up, it wasn’t a surprise for him, but it surely made his heart swell in joy. Leaning on to you to press a kiss on your cheek, he says, “The gods might have heard my prayers, and I knew you’d hear me as well, dove.”

SCARAMOUCHE is snappier than usual, his subordinates would complain. Yet, there is only one time and place when and where he’d be silent and be in peace—your house.

He actually brought a home for you when you fell into a coma, for you to rest on and for him to visit. He of course did not tell this to anyone not because he was ashamed of his actions, but because it was for your safety. If any of his enemies come and inflict any sort of harm to you, he would never forgive them.

He only has his few, selected and trusted lackeys there so he has no need to worry. When he received the news that you woke up, he was immediately up and about, going straight to where the house was.

To say that you were surprised was an understatement for not only did you get to know that he brought the house himself for the both of you but when he came bursting in the door to your room, he immediately went straight to you and embraced you; both arms wrapped protectively around you, the side of your head on his chest, where you could hear his heart pounding in probably the rush of going here.

“Who told you you could do that?” he begins to rant, but despite his words, his tone was of the opposite, “You’re so selfish when you want to be. Why…” he sighs, pulling you away gently and leaning down with his fingers on your chin, landing a soft kiss on your lips, his gaze far different than his usual ones, “Don’t ever make me worry like that again, understood?”

THOMA hopes for a miracle. Everyday, each and every second that passes is a moment without your smile; your laugh; your voice, he misses them. He does everything in a breeze, silently waiting for your return. And even if it turned days to weeks, weeks turned to months, and even after a year, he waited.

Until that day came.

He was doing his daily duties as usual, running around Ritou only for Ayaka herself came and told the news, which he immediately left what he was doing and went back to where you were in the Kamisato Estate, where the Kamisato’s themselves promised to take care of you whilst you were in your unconscious state.

He took one long breath before sliding the door to your room open, making eye contact with you as soon as he did so.

Your smile welcomed him, and he couldn’t stop himself as he went and embraced you. Even with his surge of emotions, he was careful in his touch, still unbelieving that you were back and okay.

“Thank you for never letting go, I knew you wouldn’t. I… Thank you, just-” you pull him away only enough for you to peck him on his lips, effectively shutting him up and for you two to embrace each other even more.

VENTI visits you frequently with a smile on his face. He’d be carrying his lyre, a bunch of apples, and maybe even Cecilias that he carefully picked—a present for you, he’d say. He spends most of his day with you and only goes out when he would want to take something home for you. He had gotten used to it, even if it sounds absurd even in his mind.

“Windblume~ I’m here!” he’d chirp, used to hearing silence afterwards, only for you to call back like you would usually back then at your home.

He sprints off to your bed and you could see the tears on the corner of his eyes, throwing himself to your waist and sobbing, which prompted you to also do the same.

“You came back! I knew you would! I… I was second guessing earlier and I…”

“Shhh…” you held him up with his cheeks and kissed his forehead, smiling assuringly at him, “I’m back now, I won’t leave you ever again.”

XIAO had lost all hope. Even if he consented having to wait for you to wake up after that night of being attacked, he knew in himself that he shouldn’t believe in the false hope that you would.

He took his mind off of ‘unnecessary worries’ and was usually out to slay demons on his own. His fellow Adepti and Verr Goldet herself was worried about him for how he was acting so detached with you, but when you finally woke up, Verr tells you to call for his name and he was there in an instant.

He stood frozen afar from you for a long time, fingers gripping tightly on the pole of his spear until it vanishes into thin air, his whole body easing up at the same time.

He looked at the ground as he walked slowly towards you, only to sit on the side of the bed and facing away from you, looking shameful.

“Xiao? Wha-” however before you could continue what to say, he was reaching for your hand, both of his gloved hands cradling your own. You were silent as he places soft kisses on each of your knuckles before he bows and presses them on his forehead, still holding onto them as gently as possible.

“I… I thought I lost you,” he says, slightly muffled with the way he was positioned, “Thank you… Thank you for coming back to me.”

ZHONGLI lived like you were still there with him. He willed himself to talk to you even as you were asleep—‘asleep,’ he’d think, pushing all negative thoughts behind. It’s much easier this way, he believes.

And as he was in the middle of telling a story to you, just as he usually would, your eyes were fluttering open. Of course, he immediately stops and sits upright, only leaning a bit to place a hand on yours, letting his warmth somehow get to you.

He was known to be a calm man, and he was the whole time that you were coming to be—keeping as calm as possible.

“Welcome back, darling,” he sits beside your form and carefully reaches out to the side of your face, “do you want me to brew you your favorite tea?”

When you shook your head, he only smiled and nodded, leaning in to press a gentle but long kiss on your forehead. “I’m grateful that you came back. I missed you dearly.”

TAGLIST. (please send an ask to be added~)

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.

ZHONGLI is grateful that you are safe. Mortals are fragile, and it was a huge relief for him, but he can’t say he wasn’t saddened by your lost memories, because he was. Yet, it was not that much of a dominating feeling than the relief and comfort of knowing that you’re doing well.

He couldn’t help himself, it was as if his hand was craving your skin, reaching out to the side of your face to trace his fingers lightly whilst offering a gentle smile.

“Mr. Zhongli…?” you stutter—did he make your heart flutter again?

“Is this uncomfortable?” he retracts his hand and backs away to give a respectful amount of space between the two of you.

“It’s… alright,” you let out with a bit of hesitation in your voice, “I don’t… for some reason, I don’t mind it. It must be hard for you as well.”

“You mustn’t think about it,” he says, “it must also be difficult to lose all your memories. I am here to help you as much as you can.”

He sees you smile again—it was the same one you’d often give him, different, but still similar nonetheless.

For now, he thinks it was enough.

┌───────── · · · · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

XIAO is stunned, surprised beyond belief, and yet he manages to keep his emotions in check, like usual. Not showing what he truly feels and clamming them up inside like a prisoner in his chest.

#can i please sit on your lap?

—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.
