ZHONGLI had always been a calm and composed person through and through. With all that he’s been through in the millenia, there is very little that could surprise him by now. But it seems that the same couldn’t be said as he gets accustomed to the ways of mortal life. It was then that he begins to realize that humans—mortal life is full of unexpected events.
“Dear, can you come here for a minute?”
He supposes he should not have been surprised. After all, you two had been going out together far more often than not. It is safe to say that you both have mutual feelings towards each other.
Yet the calm touch of your voice lets the barriers he had put up in his soul slowly fade away as if the numbness of his scars had begun to recover from its wounds.
His hand finds your waist as he cracks a smile, “What is it, dearest?”
┌───────── · · · · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊
XIAO feels a rush wave of warmth travel to his face and his chest hammers almost in an instant. You said “that word” so very smoothly, like it was made for your lips to utter to him.

♡ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: fluff <3
♡ 𝐚/𝐧: this was so cute and it took me so long <3 | like/rb if you liked this!
ITTO cuddles you on his lap. he's fairly taken aback at first – when you plop into his lap – but rolls with it anyway. He kind of nuzzles his head into your neck or something. it's quite cute, seeing someone like you on his... extremely large frame. he's kind of like a big pillow, really. he's not squishy but it's quite comfortable! he actually likes how cuddly you can be sometimes and even welcomes it. he finds the smile on your face cute.
CHILDE just laughs as he shifts you around to make you feel more comfortable. he takes note of how you seem to fit perfectly onto him as well, if that makes sense? he loves how you're just so comfortable with him. he cuddles you as well after you plop onto his lap, exhausted. i can imagine him running his fingers through your hair as well! it's really very very cute ><
ZHONGLI welcomes the affection, cuddling you softly as he continues to drink tea and read his book. he's very gentle with you, like how he would be with a glaze lily. you're his precious glaze lily. he nuzzles you often, and also ends up looking up once in a while to give you a sweet kiss. he's actually quite affectionate when he wants to be, i think! it's very sweet.
DILUC is slightly taken aback, but he becomes very gentle with you afterwards. he's nice about it and ends up cuddling you... like everyone else. i think diluc genuinely loves it when you do that – you look adorable doing it! he can be snuggly when he wants as well. diluc loves the quiet parts of you, where the two of you can just.. coexist with each other. it's refreshing and calming to him, and he loves every part of it.
XIAO is confused, but he allows it anyway. he likes how you never fail to stick with him, despite his past – he notices the little things you do for him. he loves your affection, truly, even if he doesn't exactly acknowledge it all the time. such mortal things are not for the adepti, aren't they? but he can indulge in it for a little while... for his comfort and yours. he doesn't mind it, really. xiao will definitely cuddle you after.
SCARAMOUCHE gets a bit ticked off, but would 100% totally-not inch closer to you and hug you. he would never admit it, but he actually likes these little shows of affection! would kind of subtly nuzzle his head into the crook of your neck... if he's taller than you. otherwise it kind of looks like a toddler carrying an adult... but either way, he doesn't mind it. it's actually quite cute for him. and you. 101% would do this with you again.
THOMA accepts it wholeheartedly! he would cuddle you 24/7. thoma loves it when he gets to share these little quiet moments with you, it makes him happy seeing you so comfortable... even if you're on his lap. would 100% cuddle you and would get excited because who is he to deny that he's happy spending time with his favourite person in all of teyvat? it's quite cute, honestly.
DAINSLEIF is confused. no one had ever done it to him before... but you seemed happy, so why not? the taller man awkwardly wraps his arms around you in the process. honestly he might even tickle you and not realise that he was doing so, but it's quite cute seeing how he's trying his best. i have a feeling that he would try his best to cuddle you a little – it kind of works – but it's a bit strange to he lets his arm naturally curl around you. that's cute.
KAZUHA is somewhat taken aback, but he likes it. being involved in a civil war in his home country leaves him little time to rest, so he really does take the time to be thankful for each restful and peaceful moment he gets to spend with you. i think kazuha would cuddle you in response... beidou just looks on proudly and leaves the two of you alone. it's quite soothing to see; just two quiet souls existing together.
DAMN THIS TOOK ME SO LONG!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAA. ok pls like and reblog if you liked this! it really really helps my engagement ><

The summer festivals with Diluc are quite interesting. Since he's always so business with the wine industry, you'll have to convince him to take a few days off to enjoy the summer festivities with you. He eventually concedes, since he has been working hard, and you used your puppy eyes, your best weapon.
With the streets of Mondstadt being so crowded due to the festivities, he'll use that as an excuse to hold your hand, so you won't get lost in the sea of people.
You convince him to buy the foods from the street vendors, and as you gobble away, he'll stop you before wiping away any loose crumbs from the corners of your mouth. Diluc thinks that you look like a cute little chipmunk when you eat to your heart's content.
Diluc may seem hesitant to participate in the games that are provided, but he eventually agrees. He actually scores quite high and seems to be surprised that you're surprised he did so well. If you start praising him, he'll avert his eyes and cough in an attempt to hide his blush.
He noticed that you had been eyeing some relationship bracelets. He heard that they were to be gifted to someone you loved as a way of telling them you'd love them forever. Diluc ended up buying a matching one for you, and you excitedly slip one onto his wrist. It seems childish, but the thought behind it makes his heart race.
You occasionally take breaks from the bustling and loud environment of the festival and take breathers in an alleyway. You can't stop giggling because Diluc, despite what he says, is actually enjoying himself. You reward him with kisses because he's so damn cute.
When it's finally time for the fireworks, Diluc finds a good secluded spot for the two of you, and as the fireworks light up the dark night sky, you let your head rest against his shoulder. The colorful and explosive sight takes your breath away, and you can tell Diluc is just as amazed as you are.

With Kaeya, the summer festival is never boring. He's always stirring up something, whether it be good or bad. Kaeya makes sure to flee from the scene with you in tow. He wouldn't want to ruin your date now, would he?
You've had to stop his shenanigans more than once, and had to haul his ass away. You swear you're gonna get a headache from how much mischief he makes.
Kaeya will participate in the festival games playful, not really caring if he scores high or not. But he does make sure to flex should you be watching. He puffs up his chest the whole time with a shit-eating smirk.
He absolutely buys the festival wine but makes sure the two of you are sitting while drinking. If you're not in the mood for wine, he'll let you choose another drink. As long as it's not grape juice. He will judge you the whole time.
If you overheat from the hot summer night, he'll press his hand against your forehead to cool down your body temperature. If Kayea is feeling more teasing, he'll begin to kiss your face all over, and he'll chuckle at your embarrassed face.
Did he just steal a bouquet that was meant for decoration and give it to you? Damn right he did. You wonder if that damn bard put him up to it, or if the wine is getting to his brain.
Kaeya actually takes you up on the Mondstandt walls and sits atop them when the fireworks explode in the air. The two of you swing your legs slightly before he turns to you and presses a chaste kiss on your cheek. The sincerity in his smile and azure eyes says everything.

You and Klee were the deciding factors in taking him to a festival. The two of you gave him your best puppy eyes before he finally cracked and agreed. But you owe him big time.
Klee is practically on a sugar high, bouncing from vendor to vendor, and you're out of breath from how much you've been chasing after the little one. Albedo is giving you the most subtly 'I-told-you-so' look he's ever given.
The two of you take turns carrying Klee when she gets a bit exhausted, but when the two of you aren't carrying her, you'll be holding hands while you enjoy the atmosphere of the festival.
Sucrose might actually have an alchemy stand set up, and she'll shyly greet the two of you before letting you try out the activities she set up with Timaeus' help, and Albedo giving out his thoughts every so often. Klee got a really pretty flower that took a few tries, but it was worth it.
Albedo buys a really nice dinner for the three of you to enjoy, and a small dessert for Klee to have since she was constantly asking for one. You and Albedo share one, with you feeding Albedo small forkfuls' of it. When he's full, he'll lean against your shoulder, his fluffy blonde locks tickling your cheek.
While Klee is excitedly trying out the games provided at the festival, you're just hoping she doesn't ask you or Albedo, because you know that he would probably stink at it, and the same can be said for you. If either one of you is called over by Klee, the other will be either laughing or just sighing in relief that they won't embarrass themselves.
You and Albedo take Klee down to the docks by Cider Lake, with Klee sitting on your lap. She's incredibly hyper when the first firework bursts into the air. Unbeknownst to her, you and the chief alchemist have your fingers intertwined together as you admire the dazzling sight.

This man knows every single detail about the summer festivals that take place in Liyue. Zhongli knows the history of the festival, what kinds of games and food will be set up, and what kind of aesthetics the festivals will follow.
Zhongli is rather eager to tell you all about the history of the festivals, and it warms his heart that you're actually listening and taking in what he says. But what really warms his heart is when you recall details that he told you himself.
You make sure that he remembers to bring his damn wallet, and he does end up forgetting it, you end up bringing it in your pocket. Now hopefully he won't spend his money on overpriced gifts sold at the festival.
He bought simple paper fans for the two of you so you could at least stay nice and cool whenever it gets too hot. The close proximity of the crowd gets overwhelming too quickly, so you're grateful for the fans.
Zhongli actually bought you simple but elegant hairpins, and they were at quite a decent price. He of course paid with his own mora. You were surprised by how beautiful they were, but you can't say that it wasn't pleasant. You let out a happy smile at the sudden but welcomed gift.
He is the one who recommended which dishes to try out, and, well, who are you to say no to this man? He describes every dish in very accurate detail, and what they taste like. By the end of it, you swear that you're gonna go into a food coma from how full your belly is.
When the fireworks begin, Zhongli holds you close to him, his arm wrapped around your side, and when the brightest firework begins its crescendo, he brings your hand to his lips and presses a firm but gentle kiss to it, as a way of thanking you for spending this festival with him.
ー 𝐗𝐈𝐀𝐎
The fact that you convinced this man to participate is enough to get an award. With his rather aloof and offputting personality, you honestly thought he was gonna say no. He questions the fact that you were prepared for rejection, but sighs and just acknowledges it as another odd human thing.
Just to look cute, you bought a simple but cute custom-made hanfu outfit that matched Xiao's outfit color scheme. It was complete with a paper fan. He didn't expect you to look this cute, but here you were, smiling in his direction and bouncing on the walls just to go. He never properly says it, but he thinks you look absolutely stunning.
He stands guard while you innocently hold his hand while exploring all that the festival has to offer. It's not that he doesn't trust you to be by yourself, he just doesn't trust the people that could have ill will towards you. He's doing his best though, so you don't mind too much.
You convinced Xiao to release lanterns with you, that you made yourself too! He gives you a look, but eventually comes around, and watches them float off into the night sky with the rest of Liyue's. It's honestly an amazing sight, so Xiao better be prepared for you randomly releasing lanterns whenever you please.
If you struggle with any of the festival games and they just so happen to require speed, well, Xiao just so happens to offer his help with your weird human games, so you let him at it. You are pleasantly surprised by how good he is at them. He actually won a plush of a certain dragon, and you're happily nuzzling into it the whole night.
When you need an energy recharge, you buy yourself a simple dessert, and Xiao refused any food since he technically doesn't require it. You're too busy to notice the rather gentle look that Xiao's golden eyes hold in them when he gazes at you.
Xiao actually takes you to the same spot where he witnessed the lanterns of the Lantern Rite. His golden hues hold the same wonder as they did at the previous festival when the fireworks show begins. You give him a simple kiss on the cheek as your thanks, and he almost sputters at the sudden affection. Your Xiao is really like a cat.
ー 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐄
This man is so damn excited just to have a date with you at any festival. If you didn't know any better, you'd think that you could see a tail frantically and eagerly wagging back and forth. Since his homeland is basically a real-world freezer, I doubt that they'd really have any summer activities. So your best bet would have been in Liyue.
Since he's a walking wallet, he'll eagerly cover the costs. Don't have a nice outfit to wear? Well, he bought matching ones for the two of you! Ran out of mora while out buying snacks? Don't worry baby, he's gotcha covered.
Childe is all too eager to share food with you, even purposefully ordering one serving, and make it so that the two of you can feed one another. You're giving him a very judgemental look, but just humor him by taking a bite, and he's physically holding himself back from squealing how cute you are.
He does get very competitive with the festival games, but he can also just buy you a prize, but you're giving him the look again, so he has to earn a prize fair and square. He actually managed to get a fairly medium-sized narwhal plush. It reminds you of him a bit, and it's really squishy too.
Someone had a setup for photos, and Childe is all too eager for that. After a few tries, he keeps the one where you embrace each other with silly grins. He'll take it on his next mission so he can never feel lonely.
If there's any type of games that actually require strategy, you bet that Childe will put the other team to shame. The man is a harbinger for God's sake, he's being paid to strategize. His winning not only boosts his ego, but he gets to show off how clever and smart he is.
Childe took you up to a roof of a nearby building to have a clear and unblocked view of the fireworks. While they're blasting away into the night, he'll press his forehead against yours, gazing into your eyes briefly before giving you quite the loving kiss. It's the perfect cherry on top for the night.
ー 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇𝐄
He'll say no very firmly to your face, and then later yell at his subordinates to finds a damn good festival. They're all scrambling to find one to his tastes, while he's wondering if you'll enjoy your time with him.
You wore a simple violet-blue kimono that reminded you of Scara's vibrant and electrifying eyes. You didn't even give him time to react before dragging him and lightly chastising him for being an arse. When you aren't looking, his eyes are studying your form, without the usual harshness to them.
Did he really laugh at some poor guy that dropped his food? Yes absolutely. If he doesn't laugh, he has a very satisfied smirk upon his lips, while you're questioning everything you've ever done up to that point.
You don't let him near any of the games that can make one's anger and frustration spike tenfold. You know that he can and will try to commit arson on the poor game, so you just do it yourself, regardless of how much Scara tells you that you suck.
When the two of you take a quick snack break, you definitely try to play footsie with him, because he can't exactly cause a scene because of your feet, so he has to sit there and accept his fate. If he tries to kick you, however, he's dead meat.
Scara is actually decently good at making origami, much to your surprise. He seems rather offended that you didn't think him capable of doing such simple folding, so he'll use this opportunity to tease you at every wrong fold. If someone else tries that though, he'll beat them up. He gets boyfriend rights.
The two of you watch the fireworks from a bridge that overlooks a majority of the crowds and watchful eyes. So you'll be sure to get back at him by firmly hugging him and pressing your kisses everywhere. He's hissing at you to let go and to quit it, but you won't let this opportunity go to waste so you don't relent. All while the fireworks burst away and light up the two of you.
ー 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐈𝐅
He was a bit hesitant at first, but since he knows it's something that you look forward to, he agrees. You, however, insist that he change into something more fitting and that doesn't stand out. Well too bad for him, because you bought quite the handsome suit that is very breathable and light for the summer nights. He doesn't know how you know his sizes but he accepts it nonetheless.
Dainsleif holds your hand the whole time, before and after interacting with the festivities. It's a mix of safety reasons, but also your hand looks so cute and he was a bit shy to initiate hand-holding, but once you notice and hold his hand in yours, he's never letting go.
He insists on paying for everything, regardless of how much mora you brought. Dainsleif doesn't mind, as he'll buy you anything you want, regardless of the price. He doesn't mind paying for your meal and drink, despite your protests. Hell, he'll even feed you himself if you let him. You pout and whine that he spoils you too much, to which he only responds with a breathy chuckle and a heartfelt," Forgive me, but you're so endearing that I can't help but spoil you."
Dainsleif is quite relatively new to these types of games, but you assure him that you don't know what you're doing either, so you can both learn together. He didn't win a top prize or anything, but rather, matching rings. After some thought, you slipped them onto your ring fingers with a tender smile and giggle before dragging Dain off to a new vendor. After that, he's much more flushed and can't stop staring at the new ring.
You bought him a cute little wind chime, that had the same dark blues as did he. It was almost like a cute mini him of sorts. You gazed at it for a bit, before telling him that if he ever thought of you, he could hang up the wind chime and listen to its tune and think of you.
If he notices that you're getting tired, he'll offer to carry you so your feet won't get any more sores upon them. You decline and insist that he doesn't have to. He respects your decision, but he also lets you lean against him to balance your weight back and forth.
Dainsleif asks for your permission to kiss you, wanting your consent first. He'll let his deep blue eyes gaze lovingly into your own before he finally kisses you. Just as the first firework of the night blooms into a fiery and colorful explosion. It's the most romantic thing you could ask for.
ー 𝐓𝐎𝐇𝐌𝐀
His damn energy almost puts Childe's to shame, as he's eagerly skipping up to you and asking you out on a date to the festival. His excited smile melts your heart, and you like the man, so you agree. Tohma is practically telling the entirety of Inazuma about his date at this point.
Tohma bought sparkles for the two of you, so you could enjoy the joy they bring, and you can draw in the air. You had to elbow him just for attempting to draw suggestive things. There are children here Tohma, think of the innocent children. It was still funny as hell though
You actually suggested wearing matching kimono's and he's actually ecstatic about that idea. But his heart was not prepared when he saw how amazing you looked in yours. Tohma refuses to leave your side for the entirety of the festival since he knows others will think the same thing too.
He likes sharing his food with you and letting you take small nibbles. You don't really mind, since, hey, free food, so you take your bites and that's that. But in Tohma's head, the fact that the two of you put your lips on the same piece of food means that you indirectly kissed.
Tohma has gotten a little too competitive with the small games, mostly so he can show off, but also so he can gift you something special. He wants you to be able to remember these moments with him forever.
There was a small play of sorts that was happening, so you sit in between Tohma's legs to save space, and after a bit, he wraps his arms around you and rests his chin on your shoulder. You're too enthralled with the play's plot to notice how happy Tohma is to just be near you.
When it's time for the fireworks, and they've begun to really light up the night, Tohma will turn to you, rubbing the nape of his neck, about to say something when you pull him down for a kiss. He's absolutely frozen until you pull away, happily thanking him for the fun night before watching the spectacle before you. Tohma is an absolute mess and he's ready to combust at this point.
—what happens when you mistakenly prank them that you’re breaking up with them?
CHARACTERS. Aether, Albedo, Ayato, Childe, Dainsleif, Diluc, Gorou, Itto, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli; gn! Reader
THEMES. prank; angst; reverse hurt/comfort; fluff; crack; (just realized) scara’s kind of? suggestive. just a tinge.
WARNINGS. no, i do not really advise you to prank your s/o into breaking up with you. just don’t.
NOTES. tbh i don’t have great ideas lately so i went with this one instead. i don’t really support this kind of prank (as well as most couple pranks) but well,,, let’s approach this in a non-toxic way, yeah? so yep, this is mostly angst :))
ps. kinda tempted to add subject 2 here
ZHONGLI does not know what came to you to suddenly blurt out that you wanted to break up with him.
Was it true or was it not?
Still, he replies, “If that is what you wish, then I shall grant it.”
It sounded so smooth, yes, but he tried so hard to make it sound like that—in reality, he was displeased. He must have done something for you to request it, and he wanted to know what it was. But maybe you did not want to talk about it at this very moment, seeing that you were not beginning to elaborate on anything.
So all he does is take your wrist and place a gentle kiss on the back of your hand, thinking it might be the last time he will be able to have this chance.
When you suddenly reach for his hand to stop him from letting go, his shoulders ease, especially when you look at him with a frown and pull him into an embrace.
┌───────── · · · · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊
XIAO is not amused—rightfully so.
“What did you say?” It came out without his permission, and he hesitated for a moment, only to feel that pressure inside his chest and flame up to his irritation.

—identifying their love languages or what love language they give to you
CHARACTERS. Aether, Albedo, Ayato, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Itto, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli; gn! Reader
THEMES. comfort, fluff
WORD COUNT. 1.8k
NOTES. this is formatted quite differently and also do take note that people can have one or more dominant love languages! this will only base on what i think their most MOST dominant one is during the relationship itself. some people change their love language after being in a relationship, after all!
p.s. gorou’s part is kind of like “acts of service” too but i suppose it fits with “quality time” more.
words of affirmation
The whispers of the wind had always been next to KAZUHA’s ears, telling him of the truth and stories of people, of the dangers that are coming, or even the music of others’ hearts. With this, he finds that the beating of his heart was in sync with yours, and that there was no reason for him to hide it, and that the beating of his heart was in sync with yours, and that there was no reason for him to hide it. All the same with how he could feel the restlessness that your mind had settled itself in, even despite being leaned onto him, your back to his chest and his arms around your form. And by then, there was a whisper in the wind, telling him to speak, to utter words, to ease your mind.
“The winds and tides have calmed, I suppose this must be a sign for us to do the same as well, don’t you think?” he played it off as he didn’t know, but it was far from it.
ZHONGLI is a man who knows a thousand words, and maybe much more. He even knows the value of each of them, and the cost of the lack of them as well. With that said, it was quite easy for him to do such a thing—to say words that he either genuinely believed or not. Of course, the latter would only be for special occasions. Mostly, he is a man who is true to his words, and even if he does not relate to any of your troubles.
“Is something bothering you, dear?” the aroma of the comforting tea dominated your senses, and so did the gentle voice of your lover in front of you. “You can speak to me about anything, love. How about talking about it over tea?”
┌───────── · · · · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊
quality time
ITTO loves your company. And with that, he supposes that it would be the same for you as well? After all, you chose him out of everyone else—someone like him to be by your side. It was something he never imagined would’ve happened, especially for you. For him just to be with you is enough, but everyday? He could even take you out to eat during lunch or supper? That would be a dream! Well, of course, he would not do anything that would be a discomfort for you.
GOROU is a man who knows his duty. And as someone with such vigor, he would often give a lot of effort into pleasing you, making you happy—most especially at the very start of the relationship. Call it excitement, perhaps, but he does have a certain kind of joy whenever he witnesses you smile from something he does.
“I heard that this is a new trend in couples nowadays… What do you think?” he has this flustered look on his face, but he did not falter in his words. Nonetheless, you thought this was cute of him to do.
“I don’t mind. But what about you? Do you want to? I mean, fishing takes time, maybe even for a whole day. Are you sure you aren’t that busy?”
“No, no, of course not! I already filed my leave today. And…” he pauses, looking away, “of course I’d like to go with you. Anywhere with you is nice.”
If there was the perfect way to describe what VENTI was feeling, it would be that he was craving for your attention and presence by his side. This is to the point that he would also want you to be used to his presence. After all, you would see him every now and then, so get used to it! He’d take you anywhere that would be enjoyable, don’t worry! And you’re going to be safe, he’s an Archon after all.

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)

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.”

—where they try cope with your death, but they couldn’t
CHARACTERS. Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli
THEMES. pure angst with little to no comfort. was an established relationship.
WARNINGS. mentions of death and being killed. language for scara’s part. major character death. might have VERY slight spoiler for thoma but it’s not really obvious.
can be considered as a part 3 of “An Unfortunate Witness” and “Losing you was like Losing a part of me”
ALBEDO buried himself in his work right after he buried you. Actually, he wasn’t even working the same way as before. Yes, he was conducting his experiments, but he was not the same as before, as both Sucrose and Timaeus could tell. His expressions had never shone as brightly as it did when he was with you that even Klee could not make his smile reach the edge of his eyes. In his mind, with Science, everything is possible. If this work of his would lead him to a fate that would help him see you again, then he’d do anything for that to happen. Anything.
CHILDE smiles and acts like before, but it was quite obvious from his lackeys that he’s easier to anger nowadays. Some would even say he’s slowly becoming a little like Scaramouche at some point. Either way, in the end, he never really did move on from your death. He says he did, but he never will. Within the depths of his soul, the smile that’s on his face and the laugh that he gives are all but a farce, a mask much permanent than his own.
DILUC doesn’t look like it with his cold front, but he blames himself everyday with what had happened. Everyday he loses sleep, and everyday at least once would he utter your name, unconsciously. Before he’d rarely remember basic necessities and always had your help with them, but now all he could remember is you and how different it was when he lost you. No one will remind him now how he should take care of himself, how he should properly sleep at night, or how he should take breaks when handling matters regarding Dawn Winery. No one.
GOROU is the general—was your general. Not anymore. He was praised for his work and leadership, but he could not even protect his own lover who was one of his soldiers—a shame and utter defeat. He cried over your body that day and growled at anyone who dares come near you, but now, there was nothing he could really do. Everyday beneath the raining sky and thundering clouds, he repents. Everyday he tries to tell you he was sorry for not being able to protect you, to offer you Sakura Blooms near your grave, but it seemed… “Not enough,” he hisses, his knees and palms falling onto the ground, head bowed down, unable to look onto the name engraved on the stone—your name. Once again, he apologizes a thousand times, but like the storms in Inazuma, nothing was ever enough.
KAEYA has had nightmares before, but now, he only sees your face. He could barely even call it a nightmare until he wakes up with sweat all over his body, breathing hard, mind still dazed at the memory of your last moment with him. No matter the day, it was always the same dream, same nightmare, same ending. It’s as if the world was telling him that nothing could be changed now, that all of these feelings were all a result of him not confessing to you earlier on. He wouldn’t be regretting now if he had said those three words before, not when you were already gone. He tries his best to hide it, to hide the pain like he does to everything, but everyone knows that the only reason the Chivalry Captain only visits the Angel’s Share is because of you.
KAZUHA still writes haikus for you, even reciting them into the empty wind, hoping it will carry his voice for your spirit to hear it. He had accepted it long ago but deep inside, he held you dearly in his heart, gripped you unlike when he would when you were still alive, when he thought that everything was okay. He was too at ease, and the worse came, just like when it had before. Unknowingly, he closed his heart for anyone else because it was too full of you and his memories with you. He still couldn’t let you go, after all.
SCARAMOUCHE had been antsy. Was he losing his touch? Hell no. He was in the same condition as before, no one could barely tell any difference. That is until one of his lackeys woke up that night and was sneaking for some food, ears catching up onto the wails from the forest, screams that soon followed by a clasp of electro, its light flowing between the trees. SCARAMOUCHE has had sleepless nights, but these days have been far worse than ever. Barely being able to sleep without seeing you being killed in front of him, only to feel his anger rise up even more when he remembers that it was his own that did it. If he could have done anything differently, then maybe… No. He can’t do anything now but to fulfill his duty for the Tsaritsa and let his boring life go on. That’s right. Just like yesterday, he will continue on, even without you. Tomorrow he might act like this, but does he really have any other choice now?
THOMA was hiding in your house when it happened, when everything was stripped away from both you and him, and all was because of him. Your dreams, aspirations, your life… it all ended because-“Don’t blame yourself,” your voice echoes in his mind, and he grieves even more. “Why does it have to be you?” he questions aloud, but only to be met by the stars and the silence of the night. Once again, emptiness envelopes his chest. He was the type to never feel lonely, but he didn’t realize that losing you would make him feel this way.
VENTI was the same. He acted the same, but the difference was; everyone looked at him with pity, and it was more difficult to keep up the facade any longer. Before you came, he knew he was miserable, but after you were gone, it was everyone’s turn to know. Why must they look at him this way? Can’t they see that he’s alright? Can’t they hear him singing happy and sappy songs and can’t they see him interacting with others well… only to end up being entirely closed off as the night progresses; his songs reminding him of you, the sight of Angel’s Share making him recall moments he had with you there, of when you talk to him each and every night. Turns out… he hasn’t moved on after all.
XIAO hears the way you called his name for the very last time; the day when he failed to save you, where he was the reason why this even happened, and it still haunts him till this very day. He never slept because everytime he did, he would only see your face and never want to wake up. He remains composed, and he still acts like usual, but anyone who knew him truly could feel it, could see the way he had been more dismissive and aloof than before, if that was even possible. Even his fellow adeptis could barely talk to him now. They thought it was best to leave him with his business or else it would get worse, but they never knew that his love for you was strong enough for him to handle for the next few years, or maybe a hundred. He already knew love, and it was with you—only you.
The child you left ZHONGLI reminds him of you. It aches his heart, but the child was also his source of joy in moments that he felt so alone. In a world where a god surrendered everything for his mortal lover only to lose the said lover, your child was the only connection that he had with you, and he spends every second of every minute loving, caring and protecting his child. But every day, he still longs for your smile, and every night he longs for your voice whenever you say you love him as he replies the same. He might be a god, but he knew of these feelings because of you, and he owes them to you, as well as he couldn’t help but feel negative with it. This love was worth it, but without you here, was it really?
NOTES. i really feel kind of sad yesterday and today so… why not? Hehehe. this hurts but i really planned on doing this so why not:) plus getting skyward blade and losing my pity for baal’s sig weap was heartbreaking for me so…. enjoy:) hope you brought tissues.
