Put his hands on your waist

Return the favor when you least expect it

Melt on the inside every time you show your love towards him <3

Xiao would...

Probably jump to the ceiling the first time it happens lol

Also likely get defensive and try to get away because he's not used to the affectionate gesture

Try and express his love towards you in similar ways as well

After getting used to it just bask in your love and affection

Probably crack a smile because he's just so smitten with you

Ayato would...

Get a little embarrassed when you're around his subordinates

Also get an ego boost from how willingly you show your love to him with no restraints

Unexpectedly interrupt you, just so he can pull you into an actual kiss

Do the same to you when you're all alone

Never let you live it down if someone saw you all over him <3

Be overjoyed and pick you up to twirl you around

Get a little shy when Ayato or Ayaka see

Playfully dodge your attempts only to do the same thing to you <3

Set aside his duties for a little just to indulge your ministrations

Encourage you to do it more often because he thinks it's adorable

Scaramouche would...

Have an outburst of embarrassment and pull you into his office instead

Scold you for doing it around other people, only to relent and give you some kisses back <3

Pretend like it didn't happen when Childe teases him about it, only to snuggle into your arms later when he's annoyed

Get all red and pretend he doesn't like it, when in fact he can't get enough of it

Replay the scenario over and over in his head when he's away, because he's down bad for you

Sara would...

Only let you do it when you're absolutely alone, OR only around Tenryou Commission members

Actually enjoy having you be so clingy and loving towards her

Definitely repay you with similar acts of affection when you're alone at home

Never let anyone trash-talk you or your behavior, because she adores you so much

Always fall a little more in love with you <3

Kaeya would...

Be real smug about having you by his side

Never let anyone throw weird comments your way for such behavior, cuz he would do the same just to piss them off

Never admit out loud that he's always craving for your love

Secretly do the same to you when you're fast asleep in his arms at night <3

Brag to Diluc about how wonderful and caring you are

Zhongli would...

Be completely caught off guard when you throw all your love his way randomly while he's doing office work

Not be opposed to it at all, as long as you're alone

Give warning glares to everyone who dares question your clinginess towards him

Offer up his arm for you to hold whenever you're out <3

Give you the sweetest, most heartfelt kisses in the world whenever you wish

Itto would...

Blush so hard, yet still wear that huge grin on his face

Brag to his gang members about you and smooch your whole face back in return

Get put in timeout corner with you, so you can be disgustingly lovey-dovey

Not be ashamed of how in love he is with you <3

Not hesitate to pick a fight with whoever is mean to his beloved s/o

Hug you tight and not let go unless necessary

Try and meet your lips in the middle of your affectionate assault of kisses

Get both shy and excited about telling Ayato and Thoma about how much you mean to her

Never get tired of your relentless flurry of love

Jean would...

Enjoy being just another couple who enjoys their time together, away from duty; even if just for a few moments

Always make sure you know that she, too, loves you more than you could imagine

Pull you onto her lap while she works, just to have you close to her <3

Make sure you both are free once a week for some alone time

Show you the same amount of affection in the confines of your home

Albedo would...

Be endeared by how you display your love for him

Try and learn how to convey his feelings to you through more than just his words

Do little experiments that "require your help", only for a puff of smoke in a shape of a heart to appear <3

Trust you with his entire being and allows himself to be just as vulnerable around you as you are around him

Soon enough show his love towards you, the same way you do

When you reject them

characters; Scaramouche, Kazuha, Childe, Yoimiya, Hu Tao

;contains a quite a few story spoilers! And a little yandere at Scara's part.

Zhongli, Ganyu and Ayaka were here originally but god idk what flaw i could use against disciplined peeps to get reader to dump them shshhsshs

Scaramouche

Ah. Of course.

This isn't the first time someone had rejected who he truly was. Who in the right mind would love a mere puppet? Maybe he shouldn't have revealed this truth he oh so despises.

He thought, that maybe, you were different, that you'd accept him and his feelings, not as The Balladeer or as the Shogun's prototype, but as Kunikuzushi, the forevermore chalked embodiment with a soul longing for appreciation.

But boy, was he wrong.

"I'm sorry, Kuni-, I mean, Scaramouche. But I simply wish to live in peace with my family." His arms stiffed under your sorrowful gaze as you handed him back the bouquet he bought for you. "And, being with you will prevent me from doing that."

"...I see." He looked away as he somehow heard his heart crack into small pieces.

"D-don't get me wrong!" You flailed your arms in concern, "You're a good person! But, I'm afraid I can't overlook your title as a Harbinger..."

You both had gone silent after. Well what could you say? You can't just apologize for breaking a man's heart. Especially to someone who's already as fragile as he is.

You felt your eyes widen when he slowly started approaching your figure. "What are you-"

You were cut off as he patted your head with a small rare smile upon his features.

"It's okay. Your cautiousness is one of the things I liked about you after all." He retracted his hand as he stepped back, slowly donning his hat once again. "I guess, this is farewell, as Kunikuzushi atleast." You noticed his hand gripped the bouquet tightly as he bowed towards you, before he turned around and started walking away, leaving you under the falling petals of sakuras.

What did he mean by "atleast"?

Kazuha

He slowly writhed in pain as he looked at you interact with Gorou. You both looked terribly down for each other, it was so obvious that you harbored feelings for each other that the whole resistance army ships you both.

He clutches the bamboo flute you had made for him specifically in his hand, reminding himself that not all hope has been lost, especially with the look of adoration you adorned him with as he played the flute during a sunset in Watatsumi Island.

"Y/n." You heard him call out from up the trees as you were making your way towards the camp.

"Oh, Kazuha." You smiled as you waved at him, which he took as signal to jump down in front of you.

"There's something I wanna tell you."

"What a coincidence. Me too!" You laughed a bit, too giddily...he thought. "You can go first though."

"I- uh, no. You can go first." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. Could you possibly be...?

"O-oh well, actually..." You put your arms behind your back as your face flushed a bit. Kazuha gulped at your actions. Are you actually gonna...?

"Me and Gorou started dating!" You giggled happily, as he froze in shock, but alas, you didn't notice. "I actually wanted to tell you this quite a bit ago, since you're a close friend of ours, but-"

The rest of your words were tuned out as Kazuha stood completely still, not quite processing your words.

"You guys...are dating...?" He repeated, still not believing.

You stopped your babbling as you looked at him with a raised brow. "Yeah...we are. Are you okay? You don't look too well." You stepped closer to inspect his horrified look.

His doubts and thoughts spiraled as he tried to wrap his head around those words. He couldn't believe it. No way, he can't. He couldn't believe that...

he had lost you to him already. (this isn't really a rejection but i can't hurt my boy like that)

Childe

"Bleeghhhh! You'll never catch me!" Ajax stuck out a tongue as he dodged a snowball you had threw at him. "You always speak way to soon!" You ran behind a rock to dodge one of his throws as you scooped up another batch of snow.

Playing with him, never felt cold. Even in the everlasting cold winters in Schneznaya, simply being in his presence was warm and delightful, almost like a fireplace, haha. Kinda ironic, considering the sudden chill you felt down to the very bottom of your being when he walked past you silently after missing in the forest for 3 days straight.

He changed.

Just what had happened during those 3 days? It all still remains a mystery to you and his neighbourhood.

You frowned as he appeared before you once again, this time wearing an all too familiar uniform. Way proudly. Too proudly.

"Of course, you became a Harbinger. Of course." You sighed, disappointed with his choices. Where was the boy you loved who would always bring hot bread from his home to yours? And who was this man named Childe, in front of your doorstep?

"I-" His smile fell at your expression. "Aren't you proud?" You looked down at your feet as you spoke up, "I...how could i be proud? When you're now affiliated with the Fatui, as one of their lords at that?"

He blinked. Was this because he had stopped playing with you a few years back? "Are you...angry with me joining them?"

You looked at his lightless eyes as you cupped his face with gentle hands. "It's more like...I feel sad."

"About what?"

"It's nothing you have to worry about." You stepped back onto the other side of the doorstep, keeping your silent pleas for him to come back near your heart, long decided to be unsaid. "It's better to not be know, as it'll probably affect your line of work." You smiled as you tried to close the door, but suddenly his hand had stopped it.

"What are you saying?? I came here since I felt that..." He frowned. "That you felt the same way."

"What way? You mean loving you?"

"Yes."

"Childe." You stared at him blankly. "I'm engaged."

And he fell down into misery, yet again.

Yoimiya

"The fireworks are as spectacular as always, Yoimiya." You lifted your gaze to the sky blooming with colorful lights, "It seems you've went after a romantic theme for today." You say as you spotted multiple heart-shaped explosions in the sky.

"Oh, that's- uhmm..." Yoimiya looked down at her feet, with an uncharacteristically shy voice. "It's just..."

"Oya?" You felt your lips tug into a smirk. "Did our Queen of Narukami find herself a little crush? Mind telling me who has the honor of catching the attention of her majesty?"

"Eh???!" Her eyes widened as she felt herself get hotter.

"Pfft, you should really look at yourself right now." You laughed a bit at her sudden shyness.

"D-do you really wanna know who it is?"

You blinked at her demeanour. "Not if you're uncomfortable with it."

"It's fine." She put down her sparklers as she stood up, fully taking the view of the fireworks. "This person...has always been by my side." She started. "They...had always supported me with my passion for fireworks. Even though I failed many times, resulting in some severe burns, they were always the one patching me up, and telling me that I shouldn't give up, even if I didn't plan to, hehe."

You felt your chest tighten as you connected the dots. There's no way she's talking about...

"Hey, Y/n." She turned to you with a smile that mirrors the beauty of the fireworks, "I like you. I really do."

"..."

"I already know...that you like Ayaka, but...!"

"Yoimiya." You halted her words. You felt your mood dampen with the visible hurt in her eyes. "I...only see you as a sister of mine. I don't think i can-" You sighed, not wanting to have to tell her this way. "I don't think i can see you as anything beyond that."

You could only watch as she smiles to herself, and silently cry, knowing she'd never win against an actual princess.

Hu Tao

"Ah-!" You exclaimed as you felt something heavy jump on you from behind.

"Hello, my lovely Y/n!" She giggled as she stuck on to you like a koala, "Nice to see you today!"

You sighed as pried her off from you. "Hu Tao, not now. I'm busy." You heard her huff as she crossed her arms.

"Collecting debts is sooo boring! Why don't you come work at the parlor instead?" She winked at you, as if she just suggested some completely genius. "I'll give you an extra bonus on your pay if you bring new customers, ehe!"

"Stop disrupting my work. Besides, the Tsaritsa has given me enough money already."

"Then why continue working for themmmmm, boo hooo!"

"Hu Tao, just leave me alone. I don't feel like dealing with you today."

She felt a pang in her heart, yet her smile didn't waver. "Oh, come on! Just admit it, you like me being around-"

"No. You're annoying." You stated as you looked towards her. "I seriously don't get why you keep going after me. Can't you go annoy someone else, like Zhongli?"

Her ruby eyes widened at your harsh words. "I-I just wanted to-"

"To cheer me up?" You fixed your position to fully face her. "Being in the Fatui has shown me all the ugly sides of this world. You're only constantly reminding me of my siblings that I'll never see again."

Hu Tao looked down at her feet, knowing fully well that she did nothing but pester you.

"My anger towards you right now may be misplaced, but you'll need to know that I also need space."

"I already know all of that." She spoke up, with a new determined look in her orbs. "It's precisely why I keep insisting you to be with me so you could be happy. You're all alone...and i just wanted to change that."

You frowned at her words, "Why are you trying so hard to-"

"Because I love you!"

Your eyes widened as she gritted her teeth. "I've always loved you!"

"Hu Tao."

"-Ever since that time you found me at Wuwang hill, and helped me move on from my grandfathe-"

"Hu Tao."

She looked up with tears prickling her eyes.

"If I were the same person all those years ago, I would've accepted your confession with no question." You looked down at your own feet this time,

"But unfortunately, I'm not the same as I used to be."

Headcanons of ayaka hiding behind the screen and reader is waiting for ayaka to hang out yoimiya basic tries for reader to admit they are in love with ayaka?

— ⚡️ CONFESSING YOUR FEELINGS FOR AYAKA TO YOIMIYA | BUT AYAKA HEARS

includes — ayaka, ft. yoimiya

warnings — n/a

pronouns — they/them

yoimiya (despite her usual excited and carefree attitude) was in all sense of the word a trouble maker — she liked to share secrets, loved to see drama play out, and was a sucker for love confessions

especially when that confession included two of her closest friends

the moment that you slipped up and told her about your feelings for you mutual friend, yoimiya was already coming up with a plan

she had alerted ayaka that the both of you would be coming to her residence some time in that day, but asked her to remain silent behind the curtain as she wanted to ask you something — ayaka being ever so trusting, went along without many questions

the large double doors creaked softly as you and yoimiya pushed them open — the baby blues and burgundy accents greeting you.

“ayaka!” you called out into the room — most of your view obstructed by the large curtains that hung around it. “ayaka?”

yoimiya hoped that ayaka kept to her word and stayed silent despite you callings. “maybe she’s not home... maybe had to run an errand?”

“yeah... maybe,” you shuffled over to the small cushions in the corner, deciding to make yourself comfortable in your wait for ayaka.

it wasn’t the first time ayaka has had to abandon set times with the two of you to tend to important family business — and not once did you grow annoyed or angry with it.

ayaka had a purpose and a job to do — that mixed with the fact that she could to almost anything and still get away with it in your eyes.

“so... y/n,” yoimiya slid closer to your side, her eyes gleaming with mischief, and a small tilt to the corner of her lips. “are you ever going to tell her? you k’now... the fact that you like her?”

ayaka could just barely conceal the squeak that left her mouth — she was smart, able to connect the dots within seconds and figured out who yoimiya was talking about in an instant.

however, the noise went unnoticed to you as your own shock clouded your knowledge of your surroundings.

“are we really talking about it this in her home?” shaking your head you turned away from the blonde. “and for your knowledge — no. she’s not into me like that, and i see no reason to ruin my friendship with her over it.”

yoimiya wanted to scream into a pillow at how daft you were. how could you not notice the looks that ayaka gave you? the way she looked at you as if you were an archon yourself.

ayaka was so in love with you it hurt.

“i’m done,” yoimiya stood up abruptly, walking closer towards the curtain hiding the rest of the room and yanked it to the side — the image of a flushed, blue haired girl taking its place. “you’re both insufferable— she likes you, you like her, perfect match in my books — now stop being dumb and just love each other already!”

“yoimiya-“ both ayaka and you were cut off as the blonde quickly rushed out of the room — leaving behind a small wave and a few obvious and teasing winks.

ayaka couldn’t bring herself to look at you — despite the news that not only did you like her back, but also the outing of her own crush on you.

“i’m sorry about her-“

“is it true?” ayaka cut you off, her eyes trained on you now, but still not quite meeting your own eyes. “is it true that you love me?”

“if i say yes, what happens to us?”

she couldn’t fight off the smile that came to her face at the mere thought of becoming something more. “if you say yes then i might just kiss you here in this moment,” ayaka eyes finally met your own.

“just this one moment?”

“just kiss me already.”

yoimiya listened from outside of the door, both pleased with her job, and excited that the two lovebirds were finally together.

however she may have just set herself up to be the third wheel for life.

Hello! Can I request a Hutao x childhood friend reader?

You and Hu Tao have been close ever since you were young. She made you, a random passerby, the victim of one of her many pranks, and ended up taking a liking to you. After a proper approach, she started spending more time around you and a friendship blossomed pretty quickly.

She'd try and spend as much time as possible with you, taking you to various places and playing an assortment of games. She frequently took you to some of her favorite sightseeing spots around the harbor, and she had found very many, being as adventurous as she is.

She loved to throw together poetry on the fly during your outings. She'd delicately grasp at every fleeting feeling and thought she had and weave them into a beautiful string of verses, and she'd try and get you to do the same.

It wasn't until a good few years into your friendship that she realized she had feelings for you. Thinking back on all the time you'd spent together, all the fun you'd had; she realized that those experiences were as positive as they were because it was you that was there with her. You weren't just any other friend to her, you were the best friend she could ever wish for, and she only wanted to become even closer.

While she is quite a bold person, confessing was still incredibly tough for her. She kept those feelings to herself for a while, afraid of rejection and the prospect of ruining your friendship. It wasn't until she inherited the role of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's director that she chose to tear the bandage off. She was afraid her new role wouldn't leave as much time to spend with you, and the last thing she wanted was for you to drift apart. So, she decided to confess, hoping to bind the two of you together.

Her confession was messy. It was the most nervous you'd ever seen her; her face was beet red, she was tripping over every other word, and she was quite jittery. But, she managed to get the point across. She was clearly terrified of your response, and she waited, frozen in fear, to hear it.

It took her a moment to process your reply, but once she did, she was absolutely beaming. You could see her tear up a bit, right before she jumped at you and wrapped you in a painfully tight hug. She was just so relieved that you felt the same that she didn't bother verbalizing her gratitude, but your ribs being crushed got it across just fine. Words really couldn't describe just how happy she was. She loved you more than anything, and after hiding that for so long, she was absolutely ecstatic to have gotten that out, and now she knew the person she loved most loved her the same.

calling them “pretty girl” | headcanons

— characters: amber, sucrose, hu tao, ayaka, beidou !!

— warnings: ayaka says the l-word, beidou’s is mildly suggestive

note: head in hands. head in mf hands. i’ve seen the “pretty boy” version of this so many times in so many different fandoms, so why not have an alternative ^^ i love women and i loved writing this i’m definitely gonna write just for women more often <333 reblogs are rlly appreciated !!

summary: their reactions to you calling them “pretty girl” <3

ᥫ᭡ AMBER . . .

eyes wide with a slight blush

she blinks about ten times before she can muster a reply

“…pardon?”

the apples of her cheeks are bright pink when you repeat yourself, and it doesn’t help that you sound even more sure of yourself this time

she fumbles with whatever she’s holding, clearing her throat and gazing to the side with a pout

she’s adorable when she’s flustered

“gah, stop that! you know i can’t think straight when you do that…”

there’s no actual bite behind her words, she loves your petnames!

they just make her mind turn to mush sometimes </3

she puffs and grabs your hand, intertwining your fingers with urgency

a small kiss is placed to your hand, a thank you as well as a reciprocation

ᥫ᭡ SUCROSE . . .

an absolute wreck

“pretty…what?!”

she pushes her glasses up with her knuckle and her brows furrow as her mind deciphers what you’d said

when you repeat yourself she lowers her head, her hands flying to cover her face with a whine

oh dear you’ve broken her

you watch as her face only seems to get redder under the cover of her hands, and you start to feel a bit bad

as you begin to apologize for flustering her too much, you’re taken aback as she suddenly perks up and begins to protest

“nono, you misunderstand! i…”

you smile wide when she moves to wrap her arms around your neck, pulling you into her embrace

her tone is sheepish and you rake your fingers through her hair to coax her embarrassment

“i really like that name…”

you feel her own grin against your shoulder, and you laugh at how she quietly mutters that you’re pretty too <3

ᥫ᭡ HU TAO . . .

the cheekiest about it

“pretty girl? ooh, i like that one!”

her eyes sparkle at your greeting, and off instinct she wiggles her arms around your waist

her smile is too contagious, and you end up as the flustered one while she dotes on you

you hold your breath when her hands travel upwards, eventually landing to delicately cup your face

the rings adorning her fingers are cold against your skin, but as she rubs your cheeks you feel the warmth begin to cascade

“if i get to be pretty girl, don’t you think you deserve a name like that as well?”

the low tone her voice takes is befuddling enough to make you redirect your gaze, focusing on silently steadying your beating heart

one hand moves to tilt your chin, slender fingers igniting your skin with each graze as she advances on your lips

“so cute…”

ᥫ᭡ AYAKA . . .

a more controlled wreck

her small smile grows a bit at your words, as does the newfound blush she’s sporting

she clears her throat as inconspicuously as she can, shaking her head thoroughly once to compose herself

“…hello to you as well, love.”

you poke fun at her, teasing in hopes of a greater reaction

with a bashful sigh, she chuckles, laying her head onto your shoulder and gazing up at you

“i-i’ve just never gotten quite used to your affections. you always find new ways to surprise me.”

her eyes hold warm adoration, the pale blues shimmering in a way that causes you to yearn, yet you’re not exactly sure what for

with a tender disposition, she cranes to glide her hand over your cheek, landing with her fingers ghosting right along your jaw

her words were quick and hushed, but you still managed to hear the “love you” she murmured against your lips before connecting them

ᥫ᭡ BEIDOU . . .

uncharacteristically flustered

she’s not immune to your charm, though she’d usually respond with a quip of her own

her cheeks burn just the slightest as she quirks a questioning brow, positioning her elbow on the couch’s armrest to fully look at you

“pretty girl…? that’s new.”

her hand slowly smooths down her face, in what you assume to be an attempt at reigning the blush

her grin is toothy and proud as she playfully sizes you up, throwing her head back in a giggle when you wink at her

she pulls you on top of her relaxed form, caging you in her muscular arms as you melt into the hug

“hm, i am pretty, aren’t i?”

she leans into you, pressing a soft kiss to your neck

“call me that more often.” is sultrily whispered along the curve of your ear, and she laughs as you huff at her returned nature

I love yelan and shinobu im a simp already. I’ll ask for how they are when they have a crush on reader and how they would confess.

How they confess to you

characters: Yelan / Kuki Shinobu x gn!reader (seperate)

warnings: none, just fluff

a/n: There aren’t too many things known about Shinobu’s personality yet, so I’m sure once she actually releases we will be able to look back to this fic and say “kinda ooc, ngl”, but until then I’ll have to use my gut feeling.

This is, of course, my first time writing for either of these two characters, so I’m sorry if I’m making a few mistakes when it comes to their personalities, but I think it should be fine

Also, this is kinda long, at least for my standarts

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Yelan

Yelan knew about you long before you had even met her, she had to make sure that the new hire at the Liyue Qixing didn’t have any ill intentions after all, but once the two of you finally met, you instantly got along with each other, her relaxed and easy going attitude a welcome change from the stress inducing one’s your bosses seemed to have around them all the time. While your friendly and open attitude, that made even strangers reveal small secrets to you from time to time, being too busy enjoying their drinks to care, coupled with your willingness to tell Yelan about them if asked, made hanging out with you both a nice way to procrastinate while getting enough information to technically be considered part of her job.

Even after the two of you had become, what you would consider, good friends, there were still a lot of things you knew she wouldn’t tell you about, most of them about her job. You had asked once about why exactly she needed information about a citizen of Liyue, assuming of course that her job required her to do so, she made it very clear that, since it was part of her job, she wouldn’t tell you. You completely understood, never asking about such things again, while simply enjoying spending time with her. But there were things you knew about her that most others, who even knew about the existence of a woman called “Yelan”, wouldn’t even dream about knowing.

You had finally managed to get a few days off, deciding that it would be a great opportunity to visit Yelan, and while her house laid well outside of the city, you eventually arrived in front of her door, knocking on it, only to have to wait much longer than you expected before it finally opened, revealing your friend giving you her usual smile.

“Well, what a surprising visit you decided to pay me”, she greeted you, the thought of how you had managed to surprise the usually so informed Yelan, making you smile, only for you to remember what an unhealthy sleep schedule she seemed to have whenever she didn’t necessarily have work to do.

“Did I awaken you from your sleep?”, you asked teasingly, only for her to shoot back immediately in a similar playful matter.

“That’s confidential, I could tell you, but sadly wouldn’t be allowed to keep you alive afterwards”, after shooting you another smile, she finally let you inside, and it wasn’t long before the two of you started playing a game of dice against each other. “I could use this chance to win a few Mora from you, but how about we spice it up a bit? The winner gets to ask the looser anything”, she offered, causing you to give her a look of suspicion. When she said “anything”, did she truly mean it? Probably not really, since you doubted that she would tell you anything about her work even if you won, not that you wanted to know anyway. But you decided not to voice your doubts, instead giving her a nod.

Well, it wasn’t like you even had to think about what to ask her, since no matter how much luck you seemed to have, Yelan would always top you, and while her questions started out standard, asking you about things like work, they grew more and more personal with each question.

“What’s your taste in women?”, she eventually asked with as straight of a face as ever, and while the last question had already seemed a bit too personal for your taste, this one made your heartbeat faster than usual whenever you thought about what would come next.

“Well, I don’t really have one… I’m not that picky, if they are entertaining to hang out with, I guess”, you answered truthfully, well not completely, since there was someone you had eyes for.

“Then what about me?”, she asked, topping all her previous questions while making your face as red as the Jueyun chillies she loved to eat.

“T-that’s more than one question”, you stuttered out, frantically trying to buy your brain enough time to figure out any reasons she might have said something like that, baring the obvious of course, since that was too good to be true.

“Of course, how silly of me”, she stated, only to immediately get the highest possible score, making it unnecessary for you to even try and beat it. “Well, what about me?”, she stated once more, leaning forwards before putting her head in her hands while resting her arms on the table.

After seeing you fail to form a coherent sentence more than once, she leaned back before speaking again. “Fine, let me a different question”, when you heard her words, you finally managed to calm your nerves down a bit, only for all your blood to shoot into your head once again immediately afterwards.

“I like you as more than just a friend, do you feel the same?”, before you even had the chance to think about it, your body immediately went into autopilot, nodding enthusiastically without delay, causing the woman in front of you to smile at you once again.

Kuki Shinobu

You had known Shinobu for a very long time, having been friends with her long before she and her family got on rather… difficult terms. But when she had gone to study in Liyue for a few years, the two of you lost contact, only for her to come back and become part of the Arataki-gang, something you couldn’t help but find odd. Sure, you hadn’t seen her for years, but her joining that group of rather unusual individuals, wasn’t something you had ever expected from her.

But when the two of you met again, you somewhat rekindled your old friendship. Sure, the two of you had changed a lot, and instead of wearing the shrine maiden clothes you had expected an adult Shinobu to wear, she had found a different way to dress, most notably wearing a mask to hide her face even though you had never thought that there was a need for her to do so, but at the core you were still the same people as back then.

You couldn’t pinpoint exactly when, but at some point in your friendship Shinobu had stopped acting entirely professional around you, acting far more friendly than before. It may have been far from the friendliness others, like maybe that Naganohara girl, seemed to offer, but still a big enough change for you to notice, not that you had anything against it, since you were just happy to have your old friend back. And while she still insisted on wearing her mask most of the time, she wouldn’t seem as embarrassed as the first time you accidentally caught her taking it off.

You had plucked a few lavender melons since you seemed to remember Shinobu having told you about how they tasted better when roasted and decided to pay her a visit to ask for a few tips, only to encounter what seemed to be the rest of the “Arataki-gang”, but without their name giving leader.

“Hey, I’m sorry to-”, you looked at what they were doing, only to find them stand around two beetles fighting each other, leaving you with more questions than answers, but decided to continue anyway “…interrupt you, but do you know where I can find Shinobu?”, you asked, causing all of them to immediately turn their heads around.

“You’re looking for Kuki Shinobu? Why? Do you need something from her?”, one of them immediately started questioning you, approaching you while making you feel as if you were in some sort of trouble, like you had broken an unspoken rule, but before you could continue, the man in front of you suddenly had a look of realisation on his face. “Oh, you’re her friend! The one she always spends time with after work”, he almost shouted, catching the attention of the rest, making them gather around you as well.

What followed was them bombarding you with one question after another, not leaving you any time to answer any of them, but seemingly not even minding. You had long lost the ability to even register any of their questions, since they would be interrupted in the middle of it, causing you to have to hear a completely new one, that was, until you heard a question that stood out.

“Are the two of you a couple? You must be, you always hang out with each other, and she even mentioned you a couple of times”, all other members fell silent, as all their gazes were focussed on you, awaiting your answer.

“She was talking about m-”, before you had the chance to finish your sentence, another voice rang out, this one clearly being Shinobu’s, but instead of sounding professional like usual, or relaxed like when you spent time together, this time it was filled with rage.

“You have ten seconds, whoever is in my line of sight once they are over won’t live to regret it”, in an instant, the mass of men around you were gone, all of them scattering into different directions, leaving you and Shinobu alone, she finally having calmed down somewhat. “I hate those idiots sometimes”, she stated bitterly before letting out a big sigh, her choice of words somewhat surprising you.

“They seemed… friendly”, you awkwardly stated, trying to make her forget what had just happened, but instead earning yourself a nervous stare from her, only to hear her sigh once more.

“You heard what they said, so I guess there’s no need to deny it. I like you, and I hope you do the same, do you want to go out with me?”, her confession caught you even more off-guard, leaving you frozen in place for a couple seconds before finally mustering enough working braincells together to answer.

“Sure, I feel the same”, you answered, only to find it to be an underwhelming reaction, searching for a way to continue. “Do you want to roast lavender melons together?”, you awkwardly asked while lifting the basked full of them that you held in your hand, earning yourself a small, rare chuckle from Shinobu.

“Of course”

Dates with Genshin Females Vol.1

Summary: Select a genshin lady and let them take you on a romantic rendez-vous!

Characters: Keqing, Ganyu, Eula.

A/N: Just some cute fluffs to balance out the awfulness of my recent fics haha. There would probably be multiple parts, men and women both.

Coming up next: Hutao, Jean, Rosaria

Content warning: Sfw, fluff, gender neutral reader

Keqing

Shopping dates!! Expect to be hopping around in shops of all kinds for the entire time.

Of course, it would have to be pre-scheduled, maybe days prior as the Yuheng always puts work before her own personal relationships.

Contrary to common belief, Keqing loves getting lunch to go, from the little restaurants instead of the two sophisticated ones.

“When was the last time liuli pavilion changed their menu? Few months ago if my memory serves. I usually only go for business deals over lunch. If you want to actually eat, the food stalls offer so much more.”

Keqing Would focus on efficiency even on dates (such as the shortest route to a porcelain shop), then apologize when she realizes that she is being too much.

The two of you can also go stargazing in mount tianheng, where she would be happy to flex her knowledge on constellations of Teyvat.

Just remember to bring your weapons for any potential monsters!

Ganyu

Hope you like hiking and nature, because the half adepti is taking you to Jueyun Karst!

Don’t act surprised when she nibbles on the nearest berry or qingxing when you two are going up a moutain.

“Would you like a taste? I know this is not a well-known snack but...it is my favorite.”

If you like to listen to stories, you are in luck. As long as you bring some interesting gifts to her adoptive mother (cloud retainer), those adepti wouldn’t mind sharing a thing or two with you. To show their gratitude for you making Ganyu happy they might give you something too!

Or, on occasion, she would take you to her abode in Liyue harbor and you two can read books together.

Meals for Ganyu would always have to be vegan, although she would be fine with you having vegetarian meals on the side.

Let her lean on your shoulders during afternoon dozes.

Eula

Picnic dates in the wild with Eula! Where there is no one around, to judge her because of her origin. Stormbearer mountains, cape oath, or starfell lake, whichever you prefer.

She would bake some pastries everytime , and would be anxious about your comments.

“Slow down please, there is nobody around to steal the cakes. Plus, I can always make more for next time. But anyway, I’m glad you are fond of them.”

One of the rare occasions Eula would let her down her defenses and allow herself to soften.

If you use a melee weapon, such as a sword, expect Eula to ask you to spar. To her, training with her s/o is a bonding activity she enjoys quite a bit.

If you want to see her dance, Eula is happy to perform just for you!

Dating her comes with its drawbacks, such as whispers from those tongue wagging people of mondsadt. If some adventurer dares to be impolite to her even when Eula is in the wild minding her own business, you should be prepared to roast them harshly.
