#guy Next Door Kind Of Likes You (it’s A Secret Though)

ZHONGLI is the gentleman neighbor. Always helping whenever you needed, always greeting you in the mornings when he goes to work and you were also about to do so with yours, or when you two also see each other when you both go home. Sometimes, he invites you to tea, especially when you openly show that you are comfortable with him and consider him as a friend. Actually, he sort of became your confidant. If you had anyone or anything you were frustrated with, it would be his pleasure to hear your worries and rants. He also has a knack of giving you history lessons… he doesn’t really mind even if you feel sleepy from hearing them, he’d find it adorable when he finds you asleep that time he was comforting you through his stories even.

XIAO is the neighbor who glares at you or narrows his eyes at you when you meet his gaze. You always think that he is angry at you, so you never tried to approach him. At first. One day, however, you were walking home alone and he had saved you when some drunk person tried to hit on you. You invited him to dinner the next day in thanks for this, and since then, you found out that he wasn’t angry or irritated at you. He was just… normally like that, especially when it’s someone who he did not know much. The more you got to know him, the more you got curious about what else he would open up to you. He’s kind of like an onion; will sting you a couple of times with his words, but will nonetheless have many layers, but all the layers were a part of him, and you had grown to love each one of them. Before you know it, you will be considered the one closest to him and one of the very few people he trusted. Unbeknownst to both you and him, he was feeling more than that.

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.

ー 𝐀𝐋𝐁𝐄𝐃𝐎

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.

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.

ZHONGLI had always been lenient. He treats you gently like you were the most precious jewel that exists—you are, in his mind. He holds your hands to his and gently kisses your knuckles one by one. Just by looking at him, your heart swells in how he holds and approaches you with love. How did you even get angry at him?

You were the one who pulled him first and he was pliant to your touch. He lets you lead, letting you hold him because he wants you to know that despite being a god, you are the one that holds his heart. The one to determine the fate of this relationship because he is not going anywhere. He is yours, and he shall wait even for a thousand years for you to love and trust him again with your whole heart.

┌───────── · · · · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

XIAO is careful and hesitant. Should he really hold you like this? Does he deserve it after seeing you that mad not a few moments earlier and probably for the entire time he had been away?

It was your touch that brings him back, “Shh, Xiao, I forgive you, so please…” he looks into your eyes and he cups your cheek to his stained hand.

“Please what?” he asks quietly, looking into your eyes.

The nail trend ft Genshin men

Synopsis: If you don't remember or have never seen it the nail trend was when girls put their hands over their boyfriend's crotch then clicked their nails together over it or laid it flat on top of his area sometimes showing off their rings as well.

Characters: Aether, Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Kazuha, Venti, Xiao

Disclaimer: This is a modern au with sexual themes. Minors get out. No pronouns are mentioned in this work but Tartaglia's part has him referring to his s/o as "girlie".

Albedo~

☆ Bless his sweet little heart he just flinches. Makes eye contact with you then looks at your phone in your hand before returning to flipping through his sketchbook.

☆ Apart of you feels a little betrayed by his overall lack luster response and you continue filming until you can actively see the print forming in his pants.

"Bedo." You chuckle, turning your phone off.

He makes eye contact with you again sliding his sketch book over to the empty side of the bed.

"It was for a video, yes?" When you nod he brushes a strand of your hair back from your face, cupping your cheeks. "Did you get the footage you needed?"

"Mhm." You slip your thumb under the button of his jeans popping it open like you had a million times over. "You're so cute, all pent up from my light touches."

His eye lids flutter, half lidded as they gaze at you with lustful intensity. "It's a natural physiological response even if the feeling was minimal."

"Why don't I give you a stronger feeling then hmm?"

Aether~

☆ Audibly hums at you a questioning look adorning his face as he looks at your phone then at you.

☆ Has to cover his face with his hands because his cheeks are beginning to flush down to his neck.

You giggle sliding your fingers beneath his. He lets your hands overtake his as you brush strands of his hair away from his cheeks with the palm of your index finger.

"You wanted to take a video of your hand on my-" He gestures

"It's a trend, sweetie."

"What kind of trend involves showing off your boyfriend's junk?"

You shake your head your smile still bright as you hoist yourself up, splaying your legs on his sides. His hands reach out to hold your waist and you dip your head in to capture his lips.

"Want me to delete the video?"

"I'd rather you just explain the trend to me if I'm being honest."

Venti~

☆ He was genuinely just resting his eyes when you come out of nowhere and place your hand palm down on his shorts.

☆ When he opens his eyes he's straight up beaming. Ofc he ruins your video as soon as he notices you're recording, shifting his hips around under your hand.

"Venti!" You try to pout but you just end up laughing setting your phone aside.

"I can't believe you have the audacity to fake pout when you disturbed my restful period. This is how I get inspiration you know." He puffs his cheeks back not even bothering to hide his smile.

"I'm sorry my love, can I make it up to you?"

His voice drops to a whisper as he gestures to his lap, "Come here."

Kazuha~

☆ He's just meditating. Hands palm down on his chest laid back against the floor. Breaths quiet almost inaudible. The tiniest quirk of a smile playing on his lips to signal your arrival is known.

☆ He's got his legs up against the mat he's resting on not moving a muscle. And he still doesn't move even when your hand is ghosting over his clothed dick.

When you realize he still hasn't said a word, nor made any sudden movements you glance over. Instantly being greeted with one crimson eye staring back at you. Lips twitching with mirth.

"What are you up to, lovely? Is this another one of your games?" He questions though he shuts his eyes again relaxing back.

"No of course not Kazu. I'm just shooting a video."

Once you're finished you're a little upset that you couldn't get him more aroused. Only a little sign of a tent peaking in his sweats. You lift yourself up onto your knees almost immediately getting pulled in. Your back flat against the mat with a now completely alert Kazuha hovering over you.

His fingers trail up the tail of your spine. "Last night wasn't enough I'm assuming." He chuckled pecking your lips.

"Kazu.."

"You should've told me, lovely. You know your happiness is also mine."

Childe~

☆ He just looks at you with wide eyes and then the shittiest grin appears on his face.

☆ He places his phone down on the dresser before snatching yours from your hand, laughing when you try to grab it back.

"What's going on girlie? Trying to get me worked up?"

"Come on Ajax! I'm trying to make a video here!"

He tosses your phone far enough that you can't reach it without climbing over him. Which is the perfect time for him to capture his victim. "Aw that's too bad sweetie." His hands are on your waist in an instant hoisting you up until you're straddling his waist.

"A-" Your voice breaks over a moan.

His arms curled around your waist, tugging you into the warmth of his hold. He sat up pressing you deeper into the grind of his hips.

"You're always saying you can't take it and yet here you are begging." His hands massage the fat of your thighs. "In spite of that however I'm guessing you're going to be good for me tonight?"

"I promise."

"No telling me you can't cum anymore?"

"I.. won't complain.."

"That's my good girlie."

Diluc~

☆ Mfer sighs like you're bothering him or sum. Got a whole attitude for what?

☆ It's ok cause you are bothering him.

"What are you doing?" He grunts, half spreading his legs, half inching away.

"No! Don't move you'll mess up my shot!"

"Why are you taking a video of my crotch?" He manages to slink his body away and you sigh.

"Haven't you ever heard of the nail trend?"

"I know nothing of any of your 'trends' why would you think I'd know this one?"

You huff which gets him to peer over at you for just a split second before returning to his book. "You're no fun."

He grunts but doesn't move anymore even with you staring directly into his soul. After a while you just get bored and leave with the terrible footage.

Xiao~

☆ Stares at you unblinking as soon as you rest your hand there.

☆ You kinda stare back but don't move your hand at all.

"Are you bored or something?" He finally asks but doesn't move away.

"I just missed you so I figured we could do this trend together."

"Ugh." He swats your hand off turning onto his side.

"Xiao Xiao!"

"What?" He mumbles

You crawl into your empty slot on the bed. One of your arms sliding under his body weight while the other linked over his waist clasping behind his back. He doesn't respond to the new movement with anything more than a small sigh of relief. The tension in his eyebrows relaxing.

"I love you, Xiao Xiao."

"Hmph." He doesn't open his eyes. "You can be so clingy." When you whine he blinks for the briefest moment taking in your slightly sullen state. "I love you too." His eyes shut.

"Yay!" You seal your excitement with a quick peck on his nose.

#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.

“Why do you even love me?”

ZHONGLI is a strong and powerful god. He had been alive for centuries, millenniums, far longer than you do. The moment you found out about that, you’d be lying if you said you weren’t pressured; to live up to his standards, to be someone who he would not find too immature, to be someone… he will love.

It overwhelmed you, to the point that it exploded like a bomb, detonating at a very unexpected timing that both you and he were left surprised when it did.

“Why must you ask such a question, my love?” he speaks after a few moments of silence, both too appalled to first say a word.

“Because… you’re a god and… and I’m just… I’m just me,” you stuttered, arms crossed over your body, “I’m…. I’m imperfect.”

He steps closer, “But gods can be imperfect too-”

“You don’t understand!” your voice raised and he stops in his tracks. When you saw this and realized what you’ve done, you bowed your head, gaze now glued on the ground, “I… I’m sorry. I think I need a break… from all of this.”

You may not have seen it, but he forces upon a smile on his lips, “Of course, take as much time as you need.”

You bit your lip and turned away, wishing he would somehow fight back, somehow try to make you understand, try to fix this.

But as he said, gods are imperfect. One thing you failed to understand was that humans, no matter how much truth their words have, still hold a hidden meaning behind them that gods may never comprehend.

ZHONGLI frequently strolls around the streets of Liyue; day in or day out, he walks and walks. Every time the other people, specifically the vendors would see and recognize him, they knew what was missing and what seemed to be the problem—you, you were not with him. He looks the same on the outside; respectful, dignified, and standing tall. Yet they could never fail to miss the certain glow on his eyes, his face, and his smile whenever you stood beside him. Unknown to them, however, he had got more time in the world to wait for you. So until then, he’d wait for your return as he walks along the streets of his land, waits for the time he could finally gaze upon your beauty once again; may it be under the sun or the stars from above.

XIAO asks for two plates of Almond Tofu—which is quite unusual of him since he never had that much of an appetite before, especially mortal food. Silence had always been his company, not until you came along. You brought him the voices of humans; who they were, what they were good of, what was the light hidden amongst the darkness that he had always seen. You gave him hope and the reason for people to love him—for him to appreciate himself more. His purpose was not just to protect all of Liyue, but he became someone for you, and the same can be said with you to him. He longs for the day you come back, and until you do, he has two plates of Almond Tofu; one for you, one for him. This is a symbol of him waiting for you, and until then, he will continue to do so, no matter how long it takes.

VENTI stays at home even if he’s longing for Dandelion Wine in the evenings when he’s all alone. He waits for your arrival, hopes that this night would be the night you come home and kiss him, hug him, cuddle with him. It all seems so foreign for him to be all alone once again, but it seemed he should get used to it by now. Not long after your absence, he finds himself swallowed up by loneliness, the words falling out of his lips like a cry—but it was tuned, with a melody that seemed to have resembled like a plea, begging for you to come back soon.

THOMA is often seen by the docks, staring far off into the ocean. One can tell that if they talk to him, he wouldn’t be able to give them the attention he so often gives to others. He is very well known to the Inazumans, which is why when he goes in a state like this, they would surely know what seems to be on his mind. You, of course. Your relationship with the Retainer of the Kamisato Clan is not that much of a secret. Contrary to that, everybody knew about it. When he stands by the docks, seemingly awaiting someone, or when people see him looking forlorn despite being surrounded by the strays on the place where he usually goes, they knew. He was missing you. And despite being able to always help everyone else, there seems to be no one who could do the same to him.

SCARAMOUCHE asks his subordinates if there’s any news from you. They would often scramble to their feet, trying to get to where he is when he calls, only to be asked “Anything from Y/n yet?” Most of them would complain whenever this happens to them, but even if they do, it doesn’t really affect SCARAMOUCHE. What’s more, is that he’s more out of it, really. Instead of getting annoyed than usual, he’s more… tame, so to speak. Damn. Why can’t you leave his mind already? He’s aware of what his lackeys are thinking—that you were able to reduce him into this kind of person; searching for your presence until he’s sure that you’re safe within his arm’s reach.

KAZUHA is more silent. Beidou and the Crew could only tease him about it for a while, only for it to backfire due to him being quite good with words. “Well, of course, I miss them. What sort of lover would I be if I don’t?” he will say. However, despite the lightness and ease in his words, it was quite the opposite of the pressure on his chest, and the lack of enthusiasm with the sight of the beautiful view ahead of him. What he seeks is you, and he has no other company but his words and the wind, to comfort him in this time of need. He doesn’t dwell on these feelings quite obviously, but only his soul would be testament to how much longing he could take before he couldn’t anymore.

KAEYA talks more, this is why it’s fairly obvious to other people what he was feeling, especially with you not beside him. Despite his best efforts to attempt to hide the secrecy of his emotions, to encase it in ice, not to be freed and seen, people knew nonetheless. And even if he realizes this himself, he continues to pretend and act like he was okay, like everything was fine and nothing changed since you left. Such a shame, really. How he forces the truth in other people’s minds and his, but the hollowness in his heart continues to stay as it was—empty. Like who he truly was without you.

GOROU buries his nose on your pillow and sleeps on it, or maybe hugs it and the scent that you left off of there lulls him to sleep. It has been so long that he has been alone that he could never truly remember what it felt like anymore before you left. Everything felt so new again as if you had been fixated and remained permanent in his life. He seeks for your presence, and he could only find it with the clothes you left, or the pillow that remained empty on the nights he returns home. Home… it doesn’t even feel like one anymore without you.

DILUC drowns himself in his work. He finds comfort on a busy day, to disrupt his thoughts of you from plaguing his mind, making him corrupted of memories of when you were there, supporting him, getting him through work without making him feel exhausted afterward. But he does it again—over and over again, he thinks about you. The more he does think about you, the more he works. The bags under his eyes, the weariness of his voice, and the slump on his shoulders. No one has the heart or courage to speak up, because they knew he would only close up, return back to the old him when you still weren’t there in his life to brighten it up.

CHILDE is rather antsy, which results in him getting quite messy and irresponsible in his work. It frustrates him, but he doesn’t want to show it in front of other people, especially his subordinates. You are his strength, but you’re also his weakness as well. That is a fact he came to realize before you two had even gotten into a relationship, Yet, he accepted the challenge because he loved you—he has genuine feelings for you. It’s funny, right? A Harbinger, someone who inflicts pain to anyone, being hurt because of love. How childish, the others of his same occupation would think. But he’s proud of this relationship, of you. And he’s a mess without you, which is why you need to go back—you need to come back into his arms and make him feel whole again.

AYATO will often be seen waiting. By the lounge of the Kamisato residence, or maybe by the garden, sometimes strolling around, which will make his sibling, Ayaka, see him often. This will be a recurring habit of his, to await your return since he was too preoccupied to do his work. He will still do what he needs to, but whenever he had the chance, he waits patiently for your return. He’s selfish, he wants to see you first, to greet you first, to embrace you in his arms first. So please, just come back to him—that is his only prayer every single day.

ALBEDO works more to the point of overworking himself, much like Diluc. The only difference is that ALBEDO does this because he has no one to tell him to stop, to rest for a while—that was how convincing you were. You knew how to coax him into doing something someone like him doesn’t really need, but seeing how much you cared for him and his health, he will do so. Actually, he may even have a note by his desk, one that has your handwriting, reminding him to “Take a rest, my love.” He’d read it with your voice in his mind, making him smile unconsciously and stare at the note for a little while longer.

AETHER will try to find you. Even if he doesn’t look like it because he still does what he should while in the process of finding you, he made an oath with himself to do so, wherever you may be. He has faith that you and he will meet again. To gods be damned. The stars will one day align and make him see your eyes which he so longed for in the days you were gone.
