Genshin Boys and How They Comfort You

featuring: Kaeya, Diluc, Albedo, Childe, Zhongli, Xiao, Kazuha, Venti, Thoma

[Genshin Masterlist]

Kaeya wouldn't be great at comforting, there I said it. He'd know how to of course and if it was someone he'd comforted before he would have learned exactly what it takes to calm them and will do so every time. He's adaptive, a quick learner. Once he's gone through having to comfort you once, and being appallingly bad at it, then he will be a pro. He won't have one specific method of comforting, it would be different depending on who needs it.

Diluc, unlike his brother, is naturally very good at comforting. He may be awkward with it at first depending on who it is, but if you're close to him he will not hesitate to stay by your side and calmly talk you through your worries. Definitely the type to rub small circles into your lower back, or try and massage your shoulders whilst you either let out your worries or just bask in his company.

Comfort from Albedo is surprisingly effective. You go to him expecting he'll shy away, or say he's too busy, but he puts everything down for you- regardless of what it is- and sits down with you. The type to go and grab a bunch of blankets and drape them over you both as you cuddle together. You can talk to him about what's wrong or not, he doesn't mind. He's there for you, though, and he'll press gentle kisses to your forehead until you feel better.

Childe is instantly offering to beat up whoever upset you- even if nobody did and you need his comfort for an entirely different reason. You won't get a word in edgeways, he'll have his bow in his hands and be halfway out the door. Literally pull him back and make him sit down so he can hug you instead, he'll hold you close to him until you feel better. No promises that he still won't go out and try to cause hell afterwards, though.

Warm tea is a staple when being comforted by Zhongli. You're absolutely required to finish at least one soothing cup of tea, of whichever type you most prefer (he always remembers your favourite), before anything else. Then, he will hold you close as you either explain what's wrong or simply enjoy the moment with him.

Xiao is not bad at comforting others, simply inexperienced with it. As someone who chooses to stay away from mortals at most times, he wouldn't understand exactly why you're so pressed about whatever is troubling you. However, because it's you, he will bring you softly into his arms and listen to you- no matter what you need to talk about. And he may still not see the point in you being upset, but he'll be there for you as you work through it no matter what.

Kazuha holds you close and doesn't let you go, unless you tell him really seriously that you want him to. You can cry into his shoulder for however long you need, he won't leave your side until he's certain you're feeling better. He'll absolutely try and wax poetic for you if the right words come to him, something calm and soothing that leaves you smiling at him.

When you seek out comfort from Venti, be prepared to be serenaded on the spot. Be it a soft and gentle tune that settles a warm feeling of peace in your heart or a lively, jaunty song making light of someone you both know until your worries are entirely replaced with the sounds of your laughter. He'll listen if you need to talk it out, but his main method of comfort is distraction.

Thoma will pull you into his arms and place gentle kisses to the top of your head, all the while uttering sweet nothings that ease your mind and calm you. When you're ready to talk, he sits and listens intently, offering advice if you need it or instead simply being there. He's very good at just being there for you.

Genshin Boys and How They Would Hold You

featuring: Kaeya, Diluc, Albedo, Childe, Zhongli, Xiao, Kazuha, Venti, Thoma

[Genshin Masterlist]

long overdue for me to write smth for yall omg 😭 i kinda took an unscheduled mini break from writing bc I'd managed to burn myself out a lil lmao

once again the way i wrote these rly changes as u go down but I thought the concept was cute so 😩 also peep me finally trying to write smth for thoma after wanting to for weeks now 🤩

Kaeya would embrace you often, but rarely tightly. Casual hugs and frequent pecks to the cheek are common with him, but only when you really manage to get to know him and only if he ever shows you how emotionally vulnerable he can be will he ever hold you tight. If you reach that threshold in your relationship, he will wrap his arms around you and softly declare that he never wants to let you go again.

Diluc is far less frequent with the way he holds you, by which he simply chooses to do so exclusively from the comfort of behind closed doors. When you're alone together, expect to be held as if you're the most precious thing in the world, warm and tender as he wants nothing more than to enjoy spending time with you. His hugs are soothing, enough to comfort you even when you feel inconsolable.

When you're embraced by Albedo, expect to get a noseful of chemical scent. He almost always smells strongly of whatever scientific experiment he has been enacting last. However, his hugs are tight and sincere. He holds you like he means it, like he's trying to squeeze every last drop of whatever emotion he's feeling at the time out into it.

Childe would hold you like he couldn't ever let go of you. His embraces are enthusiastic and full of passion, quite literally sweeping you off your feet if it has been a particularly long time since you last saw him, barrelling into you and knocking the breath from your lungs. With his frequent travelling, often he will come back home to you and just spend an entire evening holding you in his arms to make up for all the time with you he has missed.

Zhongli's embraces are all-encompassing, but not suffocating. They're warm, usually accompanied by a gentle kiss to the top of your head. More often than not, you find yourself in his arms particularly at the end of rather long days, the simple action completely eradicating any stresses you had had to endure. They're comfortable enough to have you falling asleep wherever it happens, sometimes even catching yourself close to dozing off when you're stood up.

Xiao rarely holds you at all. Not because he doesn't want to, but instead because he feels like something bad will happen to you if he does. If you do manage to convince him otherwise, to reassure him that you'll be completely fine, he holds you delicately- as if you're made of glass. Any wrong move and he thinks you'll shatter. You promise him that you won't and his arms wrap the tiniest bit tighter.

When you're held by Kazuha, it's tender but fleeting. As if he can't bring himself to hold onto you for longer than a few moments. Approach him about it and he'll go quiet, softly explaining that even if he holds you forever he's worried you'll still end up slipping out of his grasp. You find, however, under cover of night, he holds you tighter. When he thinks you're asleep, he will wrap his arms around you and stay like that for the entire night.

Venti embraces you often, no matter the occasion. It's his favourite way of showing affection and with you at the receiving end it happens pretty much all the time. It'll be rare to not find him by your side, drawing you close to him, even with something as simple as keeping his arm draped around you. One of his favourite ways to hold you is with you nestled in his lap as he places his head in the dip between your neck and shoulder.

The way that Thoma embraces you somehow always manages to leave you breathless. It isn't often that you get to, usually just the first few moments of seeing one another again after time apart, but he scoops you into his arms in such an overwhelmingly passionate manner. You swear every time you're able to feel just how much he loves you with those welcoming hugs alone. If your time apart has been especially fraught with concern, those simple hugs manage to make it feel like everything is going to be alright again.

#are they still the only one?

—where he saw you with the traveller and he got jealous

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

THEMES. jealousy. suggestive on gorou’s and just a bit on kazuha’s. quite angsty on some parts. fluffy on some as well. established relationship.

NOTES. quite rushed, i think… i hope it’s okay though! i may not be able to be active for the meantime but i hope i do get back when i can. please enjoy this~ this is also kind of a part 2 of “Are you still the only one?” where the reader is the jealous one

The sun was setting and the moon had started to show itself amongst the skies, his eyes drifting past among these and soon, realization dawned into him after a whole day of work. Where were you? It doesn’t seem like he had seen you for an entire day.

Shrugging to himself and letting his worries succumb him later, he moves on to go home, at last, to be engulfed in the warmth of your presence alone would save him from the clutches of exhaustion and stress.

On the way home, however, a sight he surely did not expect welcomes him—one that he did not need or want to after today.

His shoulders tensed and the ground that was below him seems to have taken a liking to him with how his foot remained planted on it and refused to interrupt such a conversation you were having with the traveler. It was the very same traveler he had known and trusted, alright, but what were they doing here with you?

Surely, it was for him, right?

But… why did it feel like he’d ruin a beautiful moment between the two of you?

“Alright, farewell, traveller,” your voice stopped him from calling onto you, even if he did think of trying to, your eyes transfixed to the other, leaning in to embrace the traveler and bid them goodbye.

ALBEDO contemplates what to do, the gears of his mind trying to think of a way to remove such negative thoughts and try to remember the care and promises you had given him. What was he thinking? Of course, he trusted you, he trusted the traveler, what was stopping him?

He was bothered by it that it would take awhile before he got inside the house and faced you.

“What was the traveller doing here?” his question came first in spite of the cheery greeting you gave, his eyes boring a different kind of emotion that he had never given before—you doubt he even knows what expression he was doing as well.

“Is that the only reason why?” his gaze was downcast, looking down in shame for all the conclusions his mind were drawing before he had even gotten to ask you.

CHILDE hides behind the shadows and observes the both of you. This was nothing new to him… but he felt betrayed, somehow. You and the traveller? What could this mean? He knew how to sense an atmosphere, and this certainly wasn’t one that should be between two who weren't supposed to know each other.

He wouldn’t be speaking about it with you until it just gets to him and he questions you when you two were lying on the bed, “What was the traveller doing here?” he looks you in the eye, “Are you seeing them frequently?”

He’s quite untrusting, even if you reassure him that nothing was wrong. However, once things had settled and that you had finally noticed his unusualness, he will tell you his worries and that he’ll try his best not to feel such things again.

DILUC was bothered, but his feet dragged him into where you and the traveler were, bidding goodbye as well before turning to you, stopping you before you could even go inside the mansion, “What was that?” he questions, unable to stop himself, unfortunately.

“I, wait, I apologize,” he realizes, looking away momentarily and his hold on your arm loosening, “Let’s not talk about this,”

He will keep it all in. Even if you ask him, he won’t tell you. Before, he knew he didn’t deserve love such as yours, but now he doubts he can even live without it. So even if it still bothers him, he’ll just keep it all in… for now.

GOROU feels his skin crawl almost as immediately as he saw the both of you. He practically leaps towards where you two were and clings onto your arm. “Farewell, traveller,” he says and waits until they are out of sight, “What did they want?” he inquires, wary. Once he was satisfied—not so—with the answer, he pulled you aside and his lips were already on your neck, marking you. He’s… unusually quiet too and will probably walk away right after. The only time he will get to talk was when he had calmed his mind and return back home.

KAEYA teases you first. “Oh? I didn’t know you and the traveler we knew each other. Care to tell the story?” he will listen intently and will not even seem to be jealous, but he was listening very well and hopes—not actually hoping—that he would catch you in your lies. But if there was none, he’d give you a smile and press a peck on your forehead, his shoulders easing up so suddenly in relief, probably.

“That sounds nice, now what’s for dinner, love? I’m quite hungry.”

But actually, on the back of his mind, he was thinking of how you and the traveller probably looked better together and how you deserve someone that wasn’t him. He was so lucky to have someone like you… but how sure is he that he even deserves it?

KAZUHA finds himself kissing you when the traveller was out of sight, his slim fingers catching your skin as you greeted him, pulling you gently to a passionate kiss. His lips mended with your own and he even lightly bites on your bottom lips while his plum eyes were on yours the moment you opened them. He doesn’t advance towards you that often whenever you two were outside and even if you’re basically in front of your house, it was still unusual of him to do such rash actions.

“What’s gotten into you, Kazu?” you giggled, and he was suddenly out of a trance at the joy that your face emitted, smiling in response.

“Nothing, my dove,” his hand falls onto your waist, pulling you near him, “let’s get inside, the winds are bound to get cold at night.”

Actually, wait a minute, SCARAMOUCHE doesn’t trust the traveler one bit. He snarls as he marches his way towards the two of you, bringing himself in between, as if defending you against the other. “And what brings you here, traveller? Must I have to see you out or would you want my Y/n instead?”

He’s possessive especially if he doesn’t trust others—which happens most of the time since it’s only you whom he genuinely trusts amongst everyone else. He was merely protecting you, “Weaklings such as they do not deserve your attention,” he turns to you, “unless you wanted to give it to them, hm?” he eyes you, only to scoff, “Nevermind, come, let’s go back.”

Another selfish man, actually. He would rather not talk about it unless he sees definite proof to be distrustful.

THOMA was instantly by your side, not really minding the tightness in his chest, forcing a smile to curl on his lips and also say goodbye to the traveller. His arm goes to your waist and you’d immediately know there was something wrong.

“I’m just curious as to… when you and the traveller had known each other. That’s all!” he still keeps that smile of his even if he knows that you were sensing it.

Honestly, one kiss from you and words of reassurance will be enough for him to lighten up again and feel his worries slowly disappear.

VENTI is conflicted. Nonetheless, he laces a smile on his face and shows it to both you and the traveller. But once the other was gone, he turns to you with a pout on his face, clinging onto your arm and whining, “I never knew you and the traveller were that close… are you sure they were not flirting with you? Tell me the truth, windblume.”

He’s not convinced even if you reassure him.

“Seal it with a kiss?” he puckers his lips, and even if you peck him, he follows up, “Another one?”

Insignificant. XIAO thinks these “feelings” are trifling, why should an adepti like him feel such things that only a human could? “Foolish,” he voices out and that’s when you notice him, standing not too far from both you and the traveller. Now, he has no choice but to stand next to you as the other bids goodbye. Actually, he was looking down the whole time, his arms crossed to his chest with a troubled look on his face. You may even have to hold his face and make him look at you to catch his attention.

“What’s bothering you, baby?”

He purses his lips to stop himself, but he finds that it was difficult not to answer you truthfully. “Have you and the traveller… been seeing each other?”

It held a double meaning, he knew, but his muscles eases up when you answer the words that he wanted to hear. He knows they were just his mere desires but… for some reason even if they were not true, he doesn’t want to hear it.

ZHONGLI trusts you wholeheartedly, but not the traveller. You see, he’s a god who has seen many lifetimes, trust is not something he freely gives even to the savior of Liyue.

He’s selfish, at a certain extent. He knows how to handle his desires and how to perform them with the perfect timing. He doesn’t bombard you with questions suddenly, unless he waits until you two had relaxed in your home with a cup of tea in both of your hands.

“Say, sweetheart, what did the traveller came here for?” he inquires, listening very well how you would respond.

“Of course I saw it… is there something to not see?” you’d sense the pressure in the air, and even with the calm demeanor he held, you will be sure that this was a confrontation, not a casual conversation. Once he hears your answer, he’ll calmly stand up and press a gentle kiss on your temple and you won’t even know what was inside his mind with how well he keeps it in.

In my personal opinion, he’s the scariest if he’s mad or jealous.

#i miss you very much, my love

—tell-tale signs of them missing you / what do they do when they’re missing you.

CHARACTERS. Zhongli, Xiao, Venti, Thoma, Scaramouche, Kazuha, Kaeya, Gorou, Diluc, Childe, Ayato, Albedo, (Abyss) Aether

THEMES. Implied established relationship, hurt/comfort.

NOTES. there is no indication if the reader died, left them, or maybe is just out traveling :))) it’s your decision how to think of this one. I did not expect this to be angsty but alas, it is. I meant this to be comfort, actually, who hurt me lmao.

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.

#this is… for me? 

—what gift would they buy you for Christmas (or the holidays)? 

CHARACTERS. men edition. Albedo, Ayato, Childe, Diluc, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli; gn! Reader

THEMES. more chara analysis but fluff ofc! 

NOTES. my last multi hc for the year! i am so happy that you guys liked my weekly multi hc and that you continually support them! i promise to still continue them next year and bring you guys more ideas to enjoy reading! 

ZHONGLI would give you a Cor Lapis core, or probably he’ll have someone make it appealing to you. The reason why he chose this specific stone is because Cor Lapis is quite rare—like you. You are like a rare jewel that he thinks he will never find anywhere else, thus he must treasure you with the time allotted for the two of you together, with every chance that he’s got. 

XIAO would give you Loach pearls that he probably made into a keychain or a necklace, maybe a bracelet. Or maybe a whole set? Actually, it all depends on how he has time on doing them because he always hangs out with you and he could barely hide his materials when you’re around. Many people are witnesses on his pursuit of a Loach and you’re probably one of them, honestly. When you asked him what it was before, he’ll just shrug it off, saying, “Loach pearls are known for their medicinal properties. It’s just something that I need,” whilst that it true, its purpose was not what he used them on.

—their reaction when they see you wearing tight leggings

┌───────── ·  ·  ·  · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

ZHONGLI is observant, but he is dense as well. The moment he lands his eyes on you, there was already a gentle smile on his face. His arms found your waist, circling around you as he pulls your back to his chest. With this proximity, he was able to catch a whiff of your homely scent, the muscles on his shoulders easing down at the feeling of home. 

Only when he had pulled so very slightly away when he brought up your clothing, “You’re dressed quite differently today, is there something special to celebrate, dearest?” 

“Ah, not really,” you say, “I just wanted to wear something different for a while.” 

“Well, it is indeed different from those of Liyue customs… tell me, where did you get it from?” 

Let’s just say you’d have to be prepared to tell the whole story… or just admit you did that on purpose.

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.

DO YOU LIKE MY CONTENT? SEND ME A TIP HERE!

ALBEDO either was familiar with what it was or he already has knowledge about your native language because he took the time to learn it beforehand. After hearing you call him that one time, it certainly perked his attention and sensing that you haven’t realized what you did, he smiles to his own and wills to call you the same next time.

“Did I say it correctly? I just assumed it was what it meant, please tell me if I misunderstood it.”

CHILDE will probably ask you about it, which in turn became the reason why you called him with the endearment sooner than later in the relationship. He’s rather giddy whenever you call him with it, a grin curving on his lips in almost an instant, leaning to press a chaste kiss on your cheek and sending a wink at you. The audacity of this man.

“Call me that every time, yeah? Do you want me to do the same?”

DILUC wasn’t even aware you were multilingual until you told him you were. He didn’t particularly care—or more like minded, for the matter. Whatever you call him with, he’s more than pleased. However, you would not be able to miss how he stops and freezes for a couple of seconds when you explain to him what you just called him with.

With a smile, he kisses your forehead and whispers a “Thank you,” and calls you just the same.

GOROU is quite attentive, but with his busyness and things he had to do, he may not be able to give you much attention that he wanted. You had probably taken him off-guard when he got home and he was embracing you, hearing you call him such an unusual greeting that you probably saw or felt his ears twitch afterwards.

“Hm?” he pulls away slightly, looking you in the eye, “What… did you call me, honey?” he carefully inquired, still unsure if he heard you correctly or not. When you explained to him what it meant, he’ll get heavily flustered, pausing a while before he looks up with a smile and asks, “Again?”

KAEYA knows a lot of things and he probably knows a few words that you know of. He may even be the first to call you the endearment to catch you by surprise. He’ll chuckle at your embarrassed state, asking how he knew about it, to which he replies, “So my guess is correct, then? Call me with it first before I explain how.”

KAZUHA is definitely the type who had learned your native language early on and courted you with a poem with such words. That’s why when you call him with the endearment, he inwardly smiles—oh, his smiles are one of the most difficult things to figure out. And what does he do?

He pretends he doesn’t know about it.

“What did you called me, dove?” he had you on one of his knees, his eyes focused on your face as you find it hard to look him in the eye with the intense gaze he had on. After explaining to him, he simply pecks you on the cheeks and teases you briefly by calling you the same.

“Oh, you liked that? Should I start referring to you as such? I could if you would.”

SCARAMOUCHE does not know. Don’t expect him to when you don’t tell him first, so he’s one of those who are fun to prank with if you plan to call him with an endearment you wanted to call him to. He notices it immediately; brow raising, eyes darting towards your form, “What’d you call me?” his tone was harsh as usual but you can hear how it faltered despite its strong start. He may not have knowledge about it yet but he had a feeling that it was something that you have up your sleeve just to tease him.

When you explained to him about it, he scoffed but there was a small smirk on his face, pretending that he was busy with his paperworks but he felt the flutters he couldn’t stop even with his own abilities churn in his insides.

Oh the things you do to him.

THOMA, as also the people of the town, he might have hints of your language but he’s not quite sure what they meant so he’s just guessing while he accidentally let it slip out one time.

“I mean, uhm, did I use it correctly, perhaps…?” he awkwardly laughs, only to hear you giggle.

“Wait, I got it wrong, didn't I? Ugh, Ayato and the others told me about it and-Oh I was right?” he grins, “Well then, what do you say? Let’s go on a date tomorrow night, alright?”

VENTI had a hunch all this time and would definitely act like he knew it. Keyword: act.

“Of course I know what that meant!” he huffs his chest proudly; chin up, arms crossed, “It meant… an endearment, right? Just like how I call you Windblume!”

Apparently, he looked overjoyed when you revealed that he got it correctly that it was fairly obvious that he originally had no idea what it was.

“What? Where’s my congratulations kiss? I told you I got it right!”

XIAO doesn’t have a clue at all. If you attempt to call him with the special endearment, he’d only look confused and may not even question you especially if you said it in the morning. If at the evening, however, when he’s not that much busy defeating demons, he will actually pay more attention to it than the latter situation.

“You called me that earlier,” he says, “what… does it mean?”

Actually, he had a feeling what it already meant earlier but he did not want to deal such “unnecessary thoughts” even if he knew it bugged his mind most of the day. He thought that you wouldn’t tease him if he questioned you about it, only to prove that he was wrong.

“What do you mean-“ he scoffs, turning away to hide the flush on his cheeks, “I… I don’t mind it-It doesn't mean I like-I mean…” he shuts his lips and sighs, “I’m only letting you off this once.”

But let’s just say even if it was with the endearment while he’s away, he still comes in an instant when you call.

ZHONGLI is quite difficult to read. You don’t know if he actually knows what it meant or if he was pretending like he didn’t know it just to say that you had caught him off guard.

“I really didn’t have any knowledge about it, dearest,” he chuckles lightly, brushing his knuckles on your cheek when he sees the pout on your lips.

“But you didn’t look surprised at all!”

“Was I?” he pauses, “It might have been not obvious, but believe me when I say that you had caught me, love,” he says before catching your lips and pecking it softly.

He really doesn’t know about it hahahaha

A majority of your summer days spent with Diluc are usually at the winery since business doesn't stop after all. And with the expected heat waves that summer brings, the people of Mondstadt would love nothing more than a nice cool wine to drive away the heat.

But when he does find the time, Diluc will walk down to the waters near his home, and the two of you will cool off. It's actually rather nice, since some parts are shallow, meaning you can splash around without worrying about slipping into deeper depths. And you can kick water towards the redhead, which then sparks a full-blown water fight.

Of course, due to his Pryo vision, the water practically steams around him, making for a rather good laugh for you. He looks so funny when he's pouty and grumpy like that! He ends up splashing you real good just for that.

Look, you love your Lulu, but it is practically 90 degrees outside, and his body temperature is so high, that you refuse to cuddle him. You do not want to die young. Diluc would turn you into a literal puddle if he applies even more heat to your body just by hugging you for too long. You're just wondering how the hell he hasn't melted. He wears a thick, fluffy black coat for god's sake!

Diluc once caught you eating some of the grapes straight from the vine one hot afternoon. In your defense, you didn't have your daily dose of sugar, and he sucks at having real summer food, so you had to improvise. He's deadpanning at your logic and is seriously wondering if the heat is getting to you.

He lets you drink his stash of deliciously cooled grape juice, and while it's not the ideal summer drink, it's enough for you. Diluc gazes at you while you're happily sipping away and kicking up your legs, with the most lovestruck expression. How can you be this cute?

If he sees you napping on one of his couches, he'll let his fingers graze your cheeks for several beats before gentle carrying off to your bed, tucking you in, and kissing your forehead before taking his leave to finish up any remaining work. Then he'll end up joining you in the bed. you once kicked him off because you overheated

You cling to him all day. His vision makes the summer heat so much more bearable, so you cling to him like a koala just to cool off. He doesn't mind, since he gets attention and he gets to touch you.

While Kaeya is the absolute worst in the winter, he becomes your savior in the scorching summer months. He gets away with putting his cold hands all over you since it cools you down.

Kaeya makes popsicles for the two of you, and you swear that you're gonna marry him. Not only do they cool you down, but they taste surprisingly good. He's practically glowing from the praise he's getting until he suggests making wine popsicles. You do not need him getting his daily alcohol intake through some damn popsicles.

With summer making the temperature rise, Kaeya uses it as an excuse to walk around the house without a shirt. He knows damn well what he's doing, and will do it with that damn smirk on his lips. He knows that his sweaty appearance makes you flustered, so he'll see how much he can get away with.

Kaeya will go fishing with you at the beach, all complete with a parasol so the two of you won't get burned. He thought it was a good idea to freeze the water where the fish were at, and ended up slipping off. You laughed so hard that you ended up losing your fishing rod. You will never let him live this down.

The two of you go swimming when Kaeya either finishes with his work early or he runs off. He enjoys putting sunscreen on you a little too much, and he gets very handy, so you have to smack his hands just so he can put the damn sunscreen on your back. The same goes for him; just because he's already dark-skinned doesn't mean that he can't get burned. He dunked you underwater and you've had it out for him ever since.

If someone needs you during the afternoon, the most likely place to find you is on Kaeya's lap. You'll rest your head on his lap, either napping or reading a novel, with Kaeya absentmindedly running his fingers through your hair while scanning through his documents. If he's drinking a cold beverage, he may let you drink some, but not without giving him a kiss after all his hard work.

You thought Klee was energetic enough? She's practically on a sugar high the majority of the summer days. Now you know how Albedo feels when she drags you off to blow up some poor fish.

Albedo more often than not uses the summer as an excuse to bring you along to discover more specimens to use, especially by the beach. He'll even draw the scenery in his sketchbook as a way to pass the time, while you splash around the water. He even drew you in great detail and care, but you didn't hear that from me.

Since Klee is with you more often than not, you and Albedo drink apple juice from her juice boxes. It's enough to last you the whole summer, and it's sugary enough for you, so you'll take what you can get.

Flower crowns are a common activity with Albedo since he looks extra pretty with the petals decorating his hair. He doesn't mind too much, and you're 99% sure that Klee did the exact same thing before you came along.

He has a wooden porch swing, and you use it to take naps and listen to the cicadas buzzing away loudly. Albedo will occasionally join you, and you'll use his shoulder as a nice pillow when he does.

Sometimes you and Albedo will be out catching insects of all kinds in jars and tubes. You don't get how the hell he can touch those damn things without feeling grossed out. He looked back to make sure you were keeping up and managed to catch you having a staring contest with a spider that was "too smart for its own good" in your words.

You've definitely dragged him out to go shopping for new clothes, food, or just to get his ass outside. You had to promise him that no, he does not need to socialize with anyone, and yes, he gets first pick, since you made him come along.

Since he's still adapting to human life, you can get away with convincing him to do the dumbest shit during the summer. That, and he wants to enjoy his summer alongside you.

He suggests going to farmers' markets, and you agree. It's so peaceful and calming, especially with Zhongli's deep voice comparing product prices with each other, and anything else of note there, such as the dew sprinkled upon the fruits or the vibrant greens of the leafy vegetables.

You've definitely convinced him to let you use his stone pillar as a diving board whenever you go out swimming. You don't know how you managed to convince him to do it, but you won't let this opportunity waste away.

Zhongli teaches you how to bake some traditional Liyue-style desserts, and they do require ingredients either bought from the shops, or they can found in Liyue's landscape. He likes feeding you the final products and will wipe away the crumbs from the corner of your mouth, with a chuckle and gentle smile.

You've got him hooked on ice cream and banana splits, and you have no regrets about it. He once ate it too fast and ended up with a really bad brain freeze, and you had to hold in your laughter, especially with the face that he made the whole time. He's an old man, he's trying

He'll brew tea for you, but you have to specifically tell him to make ice-cold tea since he's so used to making and drinking it hot. He's heard from the young couples that apparently sharing a straw with your lover is the same as indirectly kissing them. All while you're wondering why the hell he's staring so eagerly at your lips then at the straw.

Zhongli will take you to the best spots all around to spend the hot afternoons. When he's not talking about that certain area's brief history, you'll be collecting any nearby Liyue specialties that catch your eye. When a break is needed, you play around with the materials, balancing them on each other's heads or tickling your cheeks.

Xiao isn't exactly one to divulge in, and as he puts it," useless human activities," but if it's you, he'll try. He wants to understand you, and what exactly goes down during the summer in Liyue.

He will accompany you in the harbor, although he doesn't say much. It's fine with you since you get to spend the summer afternoons shopping with the yaksha. Xiao does think that your frequent shopping dates are odd, but he's not one to judge.

His anemo vision is a godsend for you, especially since you run around like a child on a sugar rush. Xiao is giving you a judgemental look just for suggesting that he use his vision just to cool your ass off. But he eventually concedes, and the cool breeze hitting your face is the best.

You once hung upside down off a tree branch, while attempting to see Liyue from a different perspective. Literally. Xiao thinks that you've gone completely off your rocker should he stumble across you, and seriously wonders if this is what humans do when it's summertime.

Sometimes you'll take drag Xiao to the flowery fields of Qingce Village so you can sleep in the flower fields, and collect the glaze lilies that catch your eye. You occasionally steal the apples that are placed in the Morax shine nearby, because that old man doesn't need no damn apples.

Xiao will pluck apples and sunsettia's right from the tree and let you snack on them, and if you insist hard enough, he'll take a bite himself. That's as much as you're gonna get from him before he hands it back and lets you scarf down the rest. Don't be surprised if you find a good amount at your doorstep, freshly cleaned.

Splashing around the waters of Minlin is something that far few can do, yet here you are. Xiao will play lifeguard while you swim in the cool and fresh waters, occasionally coming out for a quick snack, and a kiss for your diligent little yaksha! No he's not blushing

Childe can and will drag you to Yaoguang Shoal to collect starconch shells alongside him. He'll excitedly roll up his sleeves and pants legs before kicking up the water and setting off to find the nearest shells and hold them up to his ear.

He's definitely bought kites for the two of you to fly. Does he care about the costs? Hell no, Childe is much more eager to see them fly about and talking about anything that crosses your mind.

You've got him hooked on sharing ice cream with you, and even feeding you spoonfuls of it. It's to the point where he'll "accidentally" buy one bowl, and that the shop is all out of spoons, so you'll have to share the same one. You know that he's lying, but you'll indulge him just this once.

Should there be any festival games, and he sees a cute whale plushie, he's gonna go full competitive mode and win that squishy baby. When he does finally get it, after wasting lots of his mora, he gets to gift it to you. He gets jealous if you hug and squish that plushie more than him, however, and will whine for your attention.

You can bet your ass that this man will use his hydro vision to soak you with water. He will turn it into a full-blown water fight and gets very competitive. And seeing your wet clothes sticking to your skin gets him a little more riled up. Feel free to smack him over the head.

Miniature barbeques are the best with Childe, since he knows how to cook, and the meat comes out really juicy and bursting with flavor. If this isn't his way of flaunting how he's such good husband material, then I don't know what is. You're boosting that big ego of his from how much you're enjoying his cooking.

Childe has somehow made a competition out of hula-hooping, but you're not complaining. You hate to admit how much you've gotten into it since that arse knows how to actually hula-hoop properly. You ended up chasing him with yours because he kept on beating you.

ー 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇𝐄

You have absolutely stolen his hat because it's big as hell and it blocks the sun's rays, while Scaramouche is giving you the death stare and is left to roast in the heat.

The only thing his vision did in the summer had sparked a chase between the two of you, just because you thought it'd be funny to give a lil electric shock to Scara. Now you're screeching while he's getting ready to shock every single last hair on your body to ashes.

You decided to have a mini waterslide, and he ended up enjoying it more than he led on. You're too busy laughing because of how cute he looks while sliding down. Until he crashed straight into you, that wasn't fun.

He finally relents to take you to a waterfall after you whined about it for the nth time. He linked pinkies with you the entire time you scaled the waterside, which probably saved him because you ended up slipping into the little pond. He totally laughed at you, the nerve of the midget. So you dragged him in and you now have to deal with him aggressively starting a water fight.

The two of you have a hammock set up, which Scara thinks is stupid, but you're too busy napping away to care. But you once found him asleep in it one sunny afternoon, and you had to contain your squeals because he looks so cute when he sleeps??

You made the mistake of introducing him to paintballing. He has it out for everyone now, and he's practically unstoppable. Even you are not safe from his midget wrath, and he's nailed you twice this week. You once spotted Childe, and the poor man was splattered with paint. Must've been for all those short jokes he made.

You dragged his bratty ass to the beach so you could actually have fun, and he had the biggest scowl ever. Lord forbid you to try and smother him with your affections and kisses, you can't tell if he's turning red from pure rage or from utter embarrassment. Did you do it to try and bribe him into the water? Hell yes. Did it work? Absolutely, and you will never let him live it down.

ー 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐈𝐅

Okay but like, who let this man look this cute when he's out picking strawberries with you?? You honestly thought he wouldn't participate too much, but here he is, helping you decide which strawberries are just right. His deep voice helps with the cozy and calm atmosphere as well.

You suggested blowing bubbles with him, and he went along with it. Dainsleif has that excited gleam in his eyes as he gently blows the transparent bubbles into the air. He ends up with some landing on his nose then popping.

It took many hours of coaxing and reassurance, but you actually got the man to wear a swimsuit and go swimming with you. No you aren't checking him out! He just has nice abs is all! Dainsleif may or may not be flustered from all the attention you're giving him. He'll actually carry you on his back when treading through the water if you ever ask, and oh boy do you take full advantage of that.

He actually learned how to make smoothies for the two of you to enjoy?? And they're so damn tasty?? He says that he heard you mention them once, and he wanted to see what it was all about. You're gonna cry from how loving he is.

You take him on picnics whenever you feel nice and soft, and it eventually goes from hand feeding him to laying on your backs and pointing at clouds that vaguely resemble objects from around Teyvat. If you're lucky, you'll even hear him softly chuckle at the odd descriptions you come up with.

Should there ever be a summer rain in the afternoon, the two of you will either be busy crafting something that makes no sense or you'll be admiring the hydrangeas in the rain, while Dainsleif holds you close.

Dainsleif has made the mistake of buying you water balloons. Now you're bent on throwing those damn things at anyone, and you're living in the chaos of it. Hell even he's not safe, and he's had to carry an umbrella just so you won't get his hair wet again. He'd never throw one at you, however, since he fears he would throw it too hard.

He's so energetic, it almost puts Childe to shame with how much he's bouncing off the walls just so you can go to the beach together. Tohma blatantly stares at you when he sees you in your swimsuit, especially if it's a bit more revealing. Feel free to splash him with water.

His clinginess, combined with his damn vision makes for a very interesting outcome. He is the absolute worst in the summer because you're already dying from the heat, and you do not need his clingy ass to smother you in this hot weather. He's whining that you're so mean and heartless by not letting him hug you.

At least he makes up for that by buying watermelon, like an actual genius. You've never been more grateful, and by the time you finish the fruit, your lips and fingers are grossly sticky from the fruits' juices. Tohma may or may not attempt to kiss the taste of watermelon off of you.

Tohma takes you on lazy boat rides down rivers hidden away from prying eyes. The soothing sound of water lapping against the boat, and the lily pads creating ripples on the surface make for a beautiful sight.

Did you convince Tohma that it was a good idea to chalk draw your way across Inazuma? Yes, yes you did. Was it worth it to get scolded by Ayaka? Absolutely. It ended in your chalk sticks getting confiscated just so Tohma wouldn't draw any more suggestive thing on the wall.

You've hiked up the hills of Inazuma, all while Tohma is eagerly telling all about the brief history that he heard about and learned. Once you reach the top, you'll sit and take in the beauty of the view. Tohma lets you rest your head on his shoulder, and he'll let his arm wrap around your body.

Tohma will drag you all over Inazuma and pose for your Kamera in the most eccentric ways and silliest faces. You not only take pictures of him, but you also take pictures of the landscape as well, such as the vibrant greens of the fields, and the seashells that litter the shore. Your favorite is of you and Tohma posing in front of a hidden shrine, with goofy smiles and twinkles in your eyes.
