Can you please do a wholesome Birthday HC with Kaeya x Short younger Gn reader who love him so much that they never say a word no to him and always supportive and being beside him when ever he needs them.
(you can ingnore if you want to. Gn reader or Male is fine if u do. Pre thank u)
Hi anon!
The idea is very cute!! By birthday HC, you mean Kaeya's birthday or the reader's birthday? Or can do both if you want! Just making sure before I actually write it fjfjdkr.
Just send the ask again with your answer! Thanks and hope you having a lovely day/night
Hi..... Uh... Could I request Bennett, Razor, Zhongli, Xiao and Kaeya with an Introvert male reader (its alright to ignore this)
Bennett
Bennett had always admired adventurers that went to explore and do commissions on their own. They were so brave in his eyes!
So, of course, when he first met him, he couldn't help but ask all about his adventures. Surely someone as cool as him had a lot to tell!
Though he was a bit taken back when he didn't tell him much, even seemed uncomfortable. Did he bother him? Had he said something wrong?
"Sorry I just… social interactions can be very tiring for me sometimes"
"Oh! It's fine and I'm sorry too! Sometimes I have too much energy haha"
"What if I tell you my adventures instead? You don't have to talk if you don't want to, it will be like reading a book aloud but cooler!" He said, earning a small smile from him.
"That… could be cool, yes"
His need to be alone sometimes doesn't bother Bennett, nor the sometimes one-sided conversations.
He knows he is listening to him and is at his side, so the least he can do is support (Y/N) no matter what.
Razor
Words are hard for Razor. He tries really hard to learn new ones, to try to communicate with others.
But sometimes it can be a bit too much.
So the fact that (Y/N) was somehow similar to him made him very happy.
When he was around, he didn't feel like he had to do small talk. They could just sit down side by side, enjoying the weather as they do their own things.
And when they did talk, he felt happy. He didn't pressure him to talk like others, and always had a patient smile on his face.
He felt happy at his side, so Razor was very surprised when he confessed others were bothered by his silence sometimes.
"Why?"
"Well… it's not like I don't like to talk. I just get tired more easily"
"Talking… hard… don't pressure yourself if you don't like it"
His silences or the moments he needs to be alone doesn't bother Razor at all. Just as he supported Razor and made him feel happy and safe, he will do the same for him.
Zhongli
The old archon was already used to do most of the talking. He had so much to share, so having someone that would hear him made him happy.
Though he had noticed that, sometimes, (Y/N) didn't look as relaxed as other times. It always happened in the middle of one of his stories, and Zhongli couldn't help but ask himself if, somehow, he was tired of listening to him.
He finally voiced his thoughts after a few weeks, surprised when he apologized to him.
"Is not like that, I promise. I just… sometimes I think I have the energy, but I ran out in the middle"
"I see… and what do you usually do in those moments?"
"Well… I try to excuse myself and spend some time alone. But I don't want to seem rude and usually just stick until the end"
"But if it makes you uncomfortable, you shouldn't try to force it. Solitude is something that we need from time to time. If you feel the need, don't be afraid to tell me"
Zhongli knows that speaking to others can be tiring and, sometimes, one needs a moment to themselves to relax and be alone.
He takes a mental note to show him his favourite spots to disconnect one day.
Xiao
Small talk is not something Xiao likes, nor social interactions. He does the bare minimum in that sense, as speaking with others does make him feel tired.
So the day he met (Y/N), he couldn't help but be surprised. Meeting someone similar to him was something he never expected.
And, somehow, it made him feel close to him.
"(Y/N)"
"Mhm?"
"... When other mortals tell you you should go out or talk more… Does it bother you too?"
"Mhm… sometimes it does. But I realized that is just the way I am. If others don't appreciate it, it's their problem"
"I see"
"Has someone told you the same before?"
"...they had, yes. But as you said, it's not my problem but theirs. If they don't appreciate me like you do, I don't want them near me"
Xiao doesn't care if one day he doesn't feel like hanging out or he talks more or less. He makes him feel relaxed, even if he would never admit it aloud. And so, Xiao will protect him no matter what.
Kaeya
The Cavalry Captain of the Knight of Favonius was someone that could make anyone talk. He needed that ability for his work, after all.
Making Treasure Hoarders confess their plans, tricking others so they fell in his trap.
So, in his eyes, (Y/N) was a big mystery, and he wanted to discover what was behind his more quiet attitude.
He had invited him to hang out in the tavern the first few times, surprised (and slightly disappointed) he declined every time.
Though he soon discovered he was just approaching him the wrong way.
(Y/N) was someone that, usually, avoided big crowned places, and liked to be by himself from time to time.
And so, with the excuse of needing his help for some investigation, the library became their place of meeting
"There you are. I thought you had dodge me today"
"Sorry Kaeya. I ran into some… trouble on the way here"
"Oh, how so? Something the Cavalry Captain can help you with?"
"No, unless you can control a certain Spark Knight"
The two of them chuckled, and soon started their usual routine.
If Kaeya was honest, he had started liking their meetings, even if it just started as an excuse to approach him.
He was discovering his true personality, and found it very interesting. It even made him lower his own defenses.
Hello there, this is probably a bit awkward and somehow too much, could I request Diluc, Xiao, Zhongli and Bennett where they saw gn!reader slfhrming and when they grab reader's wrist, reader started crying and apologizing. (too much? sorry...)
TW: self harm
Please don't read if the topic is too much for you! And for all of you, you are doing your best and I'm proud of you.
(was able to borrow laptop for undercut hehe)
Diluc
Diluc had closed the tavern sooner than he had expected, not that he complained. Going back home and having them in his arms after a long day was all he wanted at the moment.
He was surprised when they didn't run to him the moment he arrived.
Raising an eyebrow, he opted to go upstairs, thinking they were just distracted with a new book or related.
Though he froze the moment a very soft sob reached his ears.
His legs moved quickly down the hallway, heart pounding in his chest as he internally feared for the worse.
He soon found himself in the bedroom, eyes opening as he gazed at their trembling figure.
There was panic in their eyes as he walked towards them, arms against their chest.
"(Y/N)... What are you hiding, love?"
"It… it's nothing, don't worry" Their gaze moved to the side, biting their lip.
Diluc frowned, taking a seat at their side.
"It doesn't look like it's nothing. Now let me see, please" he said softly, a hand grabbing their arm gently.
They didn't resist as he gently moved the arm, and he had to contain a surprised gasp as he gazed at their arm.
"(Y/N), I…"
"I'm sorry" they blurted before he could continue, tears falling down as a sob left their throat.
In a quick motion, Diluc pulled them into a hug, arms protective around them.
"It's fine love. It's fine. I'm here, you are not alone" he whispered softly, gently drawing patterns in their back to help them relax.
Minutes passed as the two of them stayed in the same position and, finally, they broke the hug.
One of his hands moved to hold their cheek, eyes looking at them with a worried, yet gentle gaze.
"Love, I don't pretend to know the pain you are going through right now… but please, remember you always have me to talk to, okay? I will be at your side, doesn't matter how difficult the storm gets" he whispered softly, earning a very small smile from them.
It made him smile in return.
"Now, how about a relaxing bath as I prepare your favourite drink?"
Xiao
The adeptus didn't expect them to be awake at that time of the night.
He always ended his vigilance late, after all, and they were always deep asleep when he passed by their door.
But that night all he could hear was the soft sound of sobs escaping their mouth.
He stayed still outside the door, not sure what he was supposed to do. Or why was he even caring. They were a mortal, and he never got close to any mortals. Maybe he should just go to his room and…
Xiao shook his head, a frown on his face.
That… didn't sound right to him.
And so he raised a hand and, slowly, opened their door.
His golden eyes met theirs for a second, before the smell of blood immediately hit his nose.
And, in a blink, he was at their side.
"What happened? Who hurt you? Where is the wound?" He said, a hint of panic in his voice as he scanned them.
His gaze soon landed on their wrist and, before they could try to hide it, he had grabbed it gently.
"This wounds… by the angle they could only be made by…" his eyes moved back to their face, finally registering their puffy eyes.
"...why would you…"
"I'm sorry" they whispered, tears falling from their eyes as a broken sob left their throat.
His gaze became softer, a hand moving to caress their cheek.
"Inside demons… Can be difficult to fight. You shouldn't fight them alone. So please, let me assist you"
"Just as I protect Liyue, I will protect you and I will be by your side"
Zhongli
Zhongli prided himself on being so knowledgeable in almost everything. From Liyue history, archon war, to even the qualities of the glaze lilies.
Though human emotions were one of the things that left him confused.
That's why he found himself frozen outside the door, eyes opened as he heard them cry inside.
Should he go inside? Should he wait? Should he…
He closed his amber eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath. Leaving them alone was not an option in his book.
Instead, he opted to knock on their door, slightly surprised when he heard a gasp inside the room.
Like they hadn't expected someone coming for them.
"(Y/N), is me. I'm going to enter now, if that's okay" he said, waiting for something that indicated they didn't want company.
But, getting no answer, he finally entered the room.
His eyes soon met their tired gaze, and he quickly took a seat at their side.
Without a word, they leaned into him, and soon they were crying against his chest, muttering apology after apology.
"Why are you apologizing, dear?" He wanted to say, but he got his answer the moment he gazed down at their arms.
"Oh… I see" he muttered to himself, gently pulled them closer.
"You have been dealing with a lot of pain by yourself, haven't you? I know it can be difficult. And you might want to handle it by yourself. But humans… are not supposed to suffer alone" he whispered softly, gently playing with their hair.
Time passed by as the two of them stayed still and, finally, they felt calm enough to move.
Zhongli looked at them with a gentle smile, kissing their forehead before he gazed into their eyes again.
"Let me be your support (Y/N). For the mountain won't move, no matter how strong the storm is"
Bennet
It had been a good day in Bennet's eyes. He was able to join one of the traveller's adventures, he had found a chest with some coins and he hadn't been struck by lightning all day!
He couldn't wait to tell (Y/N)!
With a happy step (and almost falling a few times) he finally arrived at their door, giving it his signature knock.
But his smile disappeared as time passed and the door remained closed.
Maybe they went outside? It was possible, but they had assured him they were going to wait for him.
"Maybe something has happened to them" he thought, worry appearing in his face as he looked for their spare key.
Bennet finally opened the door, calling their name as he stepped inside. He only got the sound of something falling in return.
Worry increasing, he moved towards the sound, and he soon found himself facing a crying (Y/N).
He moved towards them without any words, quickly sparing a look to their arm before he pulled them into a hug.
"You got me worried" he muttered, pulling them closer as they started muttering apologies, tears falling from their eyes.
"Hey, it's fine. I got you, I'm not letting you go"
"We are adventure partners, and just like you stay at my side with all my bad luck, I will stay at your side no matter what"
Uh.. Hi. Could I request a comfort with Zhongli or Xiao where they saw gn!reader crying because of.. Depression. (Im sorry if its kinda triggering). Thank you.
You are 100% fine and doing your best, anon. You got this 💙
Tw: mentions of depression
Zhongli
Zhongli knew something was wrong the moment he entered their shared home.
They weren't in their usual spot, smiling at him and asking how his day was.
They weren't in the kitchen either, cooking dinner for both.
The ex archon moved from room to room, getting more and more worried as he found nothing.
Until he got to the balcony.
He let out a relieved sigh the moment he saw their figure on the floor, a blanket around them, hiding them completely.
"There you are, my dear" he spoke softly, surprised when they jumped from their spot.
Their eyes met his, and the god felt his heart shater.
The usual spark was missing from there, tears filling them and rolling down their cheeks.
Zhongli was at their side without a word, gently pulling them into a hug.
A hand moved up and down their hair gently as he whispered soft words, only for them to hear.
"Is it one of those days, my love?" The ex archon asked after a few minutes, earning a small nod from them.
"I just... I suddenly felt so useless and that I can't do anything right and..." They answered, their voice cracking at the end.
Zhongli hold them a bit closer, their head now resting against his chest.
"I see... (Y/N), my love, you are the most incredible being I have ever met. You are always helping others, you try your best every day. You are the best thing that has happened to me"
"Whatever those voices are telling you, they are lying. Because you are perfect just the way you are"
"And remember you don't have to fight this alone. I will be always be by your side, my love"
Xiao
The adeptus stared at the empty spot in front of him, a small frown on his face.
They were late, very late.
Xiao huffed to himself, getting up from his seat.
How dare they be late? After having dinner together for so many weeks, they couldn't just... Not appear.
The adeptus had got used to the mortal's company, now they would have to deal with it.
That's what he thought to himself, at least.
Xiao tried to ignore the worried feeling on his chest as he walked to their room, though it increased with each step.
What if they went out and got hurt? What if they got kidnapped?
The adeptus shaked his head, letting out a sigh as he arrived to their door.
And as he raised his hand to knock on the door, he paused.
Was that... The muffed sound of a cry? Were they crying? Hurt?
"...(Y/N)? Are you there?" He finally asked, hand moving to the doorknob.
The only response he got was the sound of sheets moving.
"...I'm going to come inside now, okay?" The adeptus said, waiting a few second in case they wanted to stop him.
But, getting no response from them, he finally opened the door and went inside.
They were sitting on their bed, their back facing him, a sheet around them.
Xiao analyzed the situation for a small moment, and something finally clicked on his mind.
"Is this... Related to what you told me before? Are you... Not feeling alright today?" He asked carefully, his voice gentle.
They gave him a small nod, and the adeptus sighed internally for a moment.
He... Wasn't the best comforting others. But the mere thought of them just... Suffering alone... He hated it.
The adeptus opted to move to their bed, sitting at their side without a word. An arm moved behing their shoulders, and he gently pulled them close to his side.
"I don't know anything about this but... I know what it feels like to suffer alone"
"You have told me that I shouldn't handle my problems alone. But the same applies to you. Whatever is on your mind right now... You can tell me"
"Just like you are always here for me, I will be always here for you, okay?"
I was wondering if you could write a Xiao x gn!reader where the reader feels insecure about their looks and skills and feels that Xiao could do better with dating someone else so they try to distance themself from him to stop bothering him and allow him to find someone "better". Happy ending pls, hurt/comfort ♡
The adeptus sighed for the 10th time that afternoon, his eyes closed as the frown remained on his face.
Mortals were something he couldn't understand.
Even if he has been dating one for quite a bit, there were lots of things he just... Didn't get them.
His partner trying to put distance between them was one those.
Xiao had noticed it just two weeks ago. How they slowly stopped their gentle touches, how they didn't reach for his hand anymore.
How they slowly spent less and less time with him.
It was... Painful. He didn't like the oppresive feeling on his chest. He didn't like how sad they looked.
"Maybe I was... Too harsh at some point? " he thought, trying to remember any moment he had acted incorrectly.
Though nothing came to his mind.
Xiao sighed once again.
Staying still and thinking wasn't going to help, he needed to face the problem directly.
Just a few hours later, the mortal he had been thinking about reappeared at the inn, their commission finished.
The moment they reported their success, and before they could ran away, he appeared at their side.
"Come with me" he simply said, taking their hand on his.
Xiao made his way to their usual spot, silence between the two of them.
And the adeptus didn't waste more time.
"Did I... Do something wrong?"
"...what?"
"You have been distant these past weeks. I know my... Communication skills are not the best. I want to know if I accidently made you angry at some point" Xiao finished, his gaze moving to the floor for a moment.
"Oh Xiao... No, of course not. You didn't do anything wrong" they said softly, giving his hand a gentle squeeze.
"Then why are you putting distance between us? I... I don't like it. I got used to your presence, I don't want you to go now" he asked, looking at them once again.
They sighed, biting their lip as their gaze moved away from him.
"Is... Why did you choose to date me?"
The adeptus blinked for a moment, pure confusion on his face.
Why did they ask that? He thought he made it clear that he liked them.
"Like... Look at you. You are one of the best fighters I know, you protect Liyue and you are just... So handsome. And then there is... Me. A mere mortal, nothing out of ordinary, that is lucky to know a few fighting techniques"
"I just... I don't think I'm good enough for you" they finished, their voice barely a whisper at the end.
They expected Xiao to agree with them. To finally end their relationship and look for someone better.
But the adeptus just moved his other hand to their cheek, caressing it with the most gentle touch.
"...why would you think that, (Y/N)? You are... The most beautiful person I have ever met. Even after all these years. You are passionate, you don't doubt to jump into the field to help others"
"You are you. And I wouldn't change you for anything or anyone"
Their foreheads were touching at this point, tears rolling down their cheeks as the adeptus spoke so softly, only for them to hear.
"Because... You are the most important thing in my life. And I love you"
Hii could I request Xiao, Gorou and Kazuha with gn!reader where the reader has gotten a new hairstyle and they seem really happy and confident with it? What would be the boys' reactions be?
Have a nice day/night!
Hope you having a nice day/night too!!
Xiao
"You are late" the adeptus said just as they entered the balcony, his back facing their way.
"Sorry, I had somewhere to be and took me longer than I thought" they replied with a smile, taking their usual spot at his side.
The adeptus hummed, his gaze still fixed in the sky.
Not that they minded. They found the silence comfortable, and had got used to it after expending so much time with the adeptus.
His gaze finally moved to them, mouth open to ask them something.
Only to be closed again as his eyes opened in surprise.
"...your hair. It changed" he muttered, his cheeks turning red as they offered him a big smile.
"I have been planning to change it for a while now. Do you like it?"
The adeptus stayed in silence for a few seconds, his eyes fixed on them as the blush grew on his face.
And, finally, he turned his head back to the sky, hair half hiding his face.
"... It looks great on you. Hope you keep it that way, it compliments your smile"
Gorou
The General let out a small sigh as he arrived to the camp.
It had been a particular long day in the base, and all he wanted was to have something to eat with his favourite company.
"Gorou, there you are!" Their familiar voice said as he entered the tent, making him smile.
Though the General stopped on his tracks as his gaze focused on them, ears perking up in surprise.
"Your hair changed"
"It was getting on the way in the battles and it was about time. I think it looks better than my old one, very happy with it"
The general chuckled softly, a big smile on his face as his tail moved to the sides in a happy manner.
"it looks really good on you, I like it"
Kazuha
"Thank you for your help today (Y/N), I appreciate"
"It was my pleasure Beidou. I had to go to Liyue anyways"
The familiar sound of their voice made Kazuha smile, his eyes still closed as he felt the wind around him.
"You are back. How was the trip?" he asked, footstepts stopping at his side.
"It was good. I was able to buy what you wanted, and even had something for myself"
That caught the Samurai's attention, and his eyes finally opened to look at them.
Soon, a smile appeared on his face, eyes looking at them gently.
"I remember you mentioned changing your hairstyle. I'm happy you got the opportunity to do so"
"Me too, I'm very happy with it"
"It suits you. Even the fall of sakura petals on a summer night can't match the sight in front of me right now"
Hewoooo!! Could I please request some hurt/comfort with Xiao where gn!reader has been officially diagnosed with depression (sry for the triggers!) and they just don't feel motivated to do anything at all? And Xiao tries to comfort them the best he can? Tyyy
Hey dear anon, remember you are not alone. You are doing your best, and I'm proud of u 💙
Tw: depression
Some days were harder than others. They didn't feel like going out, didn't feel like moving at all from bed.
Everything just felt... So much. So overwhelming. The mere thought of just moving made them so tired.
And yet, they couldn't help but feel bad about it. They were supposed to do their work.
Supposed to deal with it, as some people had always said to them.
The sound of the door opening interrupted their thoughts, their eyes meeting a familiar pair of yellow ones.
The young adeptus closed the door behind him, a neutral look on his face as he approached the bed.
"... I brought you your favourite dish" he said, leaving in the nearby nightstand, his voice softer than usual.
"Thank you" they muttered, soon hidding under the covers.
They had expected him to just... Leave the room, not wanting to deal with them at that moment.
With all that "mortal" stuff, as he usually said.
But, to their surprise, the mattress sank at their side. They lifted the covers enough to see Xiao there, an unsure look on his face.
"You are feeling... Sad, right?"
"It's... A bit more complicated than that"
"... Is there anything I can help with?"
A surprised expression must have formed in their face, making the adeptus look at the other side to hide his blush.
"I don't get all this mortal stuff. But I hate seeing you like this. It makes my chest hurt for some reason"
"So if I can help with anything, say it"
His words made them smile for a moment, tears finally falling from their eyes.
"Can you just hold me? Just for a bit?"
"...Alright"
Xiao quickly made his way down the covers and, very gently, pulled them closer. Their head rested against his chest, making them relax.
They felt comforted by just his mere presence.
"(Y/N)"
"Yeah?"
"Remember I promised to protect you. I will always be by your side, even at the most difficult times"
"You have battled alone until now. But from now on, I will be here for you"
Hi hi! Could I request a Diluc x gn!reader where the reader's love language is gift receiving and they're dating Diluc but they don't wanna take advantage of his money bc they feel their love language makes them greedy and a materialist so whenever they see smth in a shop that they want to buy, they save their own Mora to get it? Sry if it's too specific!
Small note: never be afraid to ask any ideas you have! Y'all doing amazing <3
(Y/N) smile never faltered as they walked down the streets of Mondstadt, their hand intertwined with Diluc's one.
He had commented how he needed to buy something for the winery the previous day, and wondered if they wanted to come.
They had agreed, of course. They could spend time with Diluc, and also look around the different shops.
Even if they couldn't afford anything at the moment, it was something they enjoyed doing.
They could ask Diluc, of course. The man would probably buy them the moon if they asked for it.
But they didn't want to. It made them feel like they were just… Taking advantage of him and his money.
They should be happy with what they already have and not ask for more.
The few gifts Diluc had gotten for them were enough.
"Wait a moment here dear, I need to talk alone with this man over here" Diluc's voice said, interrupting their thoughts.
They smiled and, giving his hand a small squeeze, wandered to the other side of the street.
Their gaze moved around the different shops, internally making a list of the things they would like to buy at some point.
Though they stopped at one particular shop, eyes fixated on a very particular item: A beautiful piece of clothing, in their favourite colour.
Their eyes sparkled, a big smile forming on their face as they grabbed it carefully.
It was soft to the touch, and looked the perfect size for them. But the moment they checked the price…
"Is not cheap, of course" they thought, letting out a small sigh.
"Maybe if I work some extra hours, I will be able to get enough mora. And I should have some spare mora around the house. And maybe if I…"
"Find anything you like?" Diluc's voice said suddenly, almost making them drop the item.
"Diluc! Don't scare me like that, please" they said, putting the soft item back in its place.
"I apologize, dear. But tell me, anything caught your eye?"
"Not really. I was just… looking around, yeah. Should we go now?" They said, a nervous smile on their face as they tried to change the subject.
(Y/N) wasn't going to ask Diluc to buy it, after all. They could survive without it for a few weeks.
He raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment on their strange behaviour.
"Of course. Go ahead and grab a table for us, I will be with you in a minute"
A small package was put in front of them, blocking the menu they were just looking at.
Their gaze met Diluc's, who had a small smile on his face.
"This is for you" he said, his voice softer as he took a seat at their side.
(Y/N) couldn't contain the smile on their face, and quickly dropped the menu to grab the small package.
Their eyes opened the moment they opened it. Inside it was the familiar piece of clothing they had planned to buy"
"I saw how you looked at it, and thought it would be a good present" he said, resting his face on a hand as he looked at them softly.
"Diluc I… Thank you. I really love it"
"Anything to make you happy, my love. Though you could have asked me to buy it for you"
"Ah well, I…" they muttered, gaze moving to the side for a moment. Only to look back at Diluc the moment he grabbed one of their hands.
"(Y/N), I would happily buy everything in Mondstadt just for you. Money is meant to be spent. And making you happy is the best way to do so"
"So never be afraid to ask, my love. As the most delicious wine can't be compared to you"
Hey there hope your having a good day! how about a gn reader who just cries or breakdowns silently cause they don’t wanna bother people but one day their s/o caught them in mid breakdown maybe with Kaeya and Diluc. Thank you in advance for reading this! <3
Hope you having a good day/ night too anon!! Stay hydrated and epic, and hope you like it!
Under the cut for long post!
Kaeya
The night had fallen in the city of freedom, and only a few people were up during that time. (Y/N) was one of them.
Even though they were usually asleep during that time, getting as much rest as possible after a long day, they just… simply couldn’t do it that night.
Not when thoughts plagued their mind, not giving them a moment to rest.
It wasn’t the first time it happened. A stressful day in the knights was usually accompanied by a restless night. They were used to it at that point.
They could handle it themselves, only need to go out on a walk and get some fresh air.
No need to disturb anyone, especially not Kaeya. (Y/N) knew his day was probably more stressful than theirs, and they didn’t want to bother the blue-haired knight.
(Y/N) silently made their way out of the city, almost unseen by the knights doing the night turn.
They soon found themselves sitting near the shore of the lake, their legs against their chest as their chin rested on top.
It was such a peaceful place and yet… they were restless. They couldn’t handle it anymore, and soon silent tears made their way out.
No sob left their throat, not wanting to be heard. Even if they were alone, they were still afraid.
Why couldn’t they handle their problems by themselves? Why did they feel so weak? Why…
“Why, there you are sweetheart. I have been looking for you” a familiar voice said, almost making them gasp.
They didn’t dare to look behind, knowing they looked like a mess at the moment. And that it was impossible to hide something from Kaeya.
“You could have invited me to this night stroll. There is nothing better than your lovely company in a lovely night, after all” he continued, finally taking a seat at their side.
Though his flirty smirk disappeared the moment they looked at the other side, avoiding his gaze.
“Hey sweetheart, what’s wrong?” he asked, his voice softer as he put them closer.
“It…. It’s nothing Kaeya. I’m fine”
“Fine? Babe, you look like you have been crying. You know you can tell me, right?” he said, a hand moving to cup their cheek very gently.
(Y/N) finally looked at him. At the soft and patient smile he was giving them.
“I… I don’t want to bother you. It’s very silly, really”
“Nothing it’s silly if it makes you cry, love. Share your problems, let me carry them with you”
Those words were enough to break them, and they soon found themselves crying on the knight’s arms.
“There there. It’s okay sweetheart” he said very softly, holding them close as he let them cry.
“I want you to remember that you are not alone. You can come to me, (Y/N). I will be there for you. I’m your knight in shiny armour after all”
Diluc
The life of an adventurer wasn’t an easy one. Not only you had to fight numerous enemies, sometimes you also had to deal with some rude people. Could be they weren’t happy with your job, could be they expected something else.
It didn’t matter to them. All they knew is that they hated it, a lot.
(Y/N) could handle it normally, even if it was hard. But other days, it was too much for them.
And it had been one of those days. They had fought what seemed like 100 hilichurls that day, just to get an item back for their last commission.
But when they had given it back to its owner, they had been yelled at. The person thought they had taken too much time, and also were angry about the state of the item.
“Like I had any control of the hilichurls” they thought angrily, even if their hands were trembling in their lap.
They truly hated when people acted like that, and hated more how it affected them. It was just some random angry person, it shouldn’t affect them that much.
They should be stronger than that.
“I had the feeling you would be here” a familiar voice said as a familiar coat was put on their shoulders.
They opened their eyes in surprise, mentally scolding themselves for a moment. Of course, Diluc would find them there. It was the spot they always came to after a long day. It had the best view of the lake, and no one except the two of them knew about it.
But (Y/N) didn’t want Diluc to see them like this. He had enough on his plate, he didn’t need more problems.
“You weren’t home for dinner as we agreed. Did something happen today?” he continued, his gaze on the lake as he waited for them to speak.
Should they tell Diluc? Should they not? Would he find them annoying?
As they debated internally, Diluc finally gazed down.
His eyes softened at the moment, moving to sit at their side.
“...you don’t need to hide your tears from me, (Y/N)” he said, his voice soft as he dried their tears.
He opened his arms as an invitation, and soon enough they were hiding on his chest as strong arms held them closer.
A hand moved to pet their hair as they cried, soft and comforting words being muttered in their ears.
“Please, do not hide from me (Y/N). Just as you are there in my worst moments, I want to be there in yours. So please, don’t be afraid to tell me. I promise I will do my best to comfort you. Always”
Xiao x gn! Reader where Xiao feels exhausted because of recent battles plus his karmic debt being more painful as of late than usual so reader allows him to rest his head on their chest and he ends up falling asleep with their heartbeat??? 🥺🥺🥺
It wasn't unusual for them to fall asleep without Xiao at their side.
The adeptus was usually out all night, doing his work as "adepti don't need rest".
But that night, Xiao was inside their room, sitting in the bed with his back facing them.
"Xiao? I thought you were out" they said softly as they moved closer, their heart sinking as they realized the state of the Yaksha.
He looked... So tired. In their eyes, he was always tired. But at that moment... He looked like he could faint with just a small breeze.
"... Hey, are you okay?" They said, sitting at his side as they put a hand on his shoulder.
"...yes, I'm fine"
"You sure? Were you hurt recently? Is your karmic debt being too painful?"
Xiao looked at other side as they pronounced the last part.
"So it is that... let me get your medicine, I'll be right back" they said, getting up quickly from the bed.
Or at least they tried, as a hand soon pulled them back.
"I'm...out of it. Rex l... I mean Mr Zhongli is going to deliver more tomorrow" he said with a low voice, trying his best to hide the pain he was feeling.
Though they could read him as a book.
"I see... It's there anything I can do to help you?" They said softly, a hand moving to caress his cheek.
"... Your presence is of great help. That will be enough for now"
"Then I will stay with you all the time you need"
They quickly found themselves laying on the comfy bed, the adeptus resting on top of them with his head resting on their chest.
For him, their heartbeat was like a lullaby.
A reminder that they were still alive, and at his side.
A reminder that he was not alone.
A hand moved to pet his hair, making Xiao sigh very softly as he closed his eyes.
And before he realized, he has fallen asleep.
It didn't take long for them to realize, as his body relaxed against them.
They smiled softly, putting their arms around him before closing their own eyes.
Hi hi hi! May I ask for a Xiao x gn!reader where reader is in a dangerous situation (someone harassing them/attacking them/targetting them or whatever you want ^^) and Xiao becoming protective???
The walk to the Wangshu Inn was usually a peaceful one. They knew all the spots Hilichurls camped at and could defend themselves if one ever wandered too far.
But they haven’t been ready for Treasure Hoarders.
It took them completely by surprise.
It was just two of them, but the element of surprise played in the Treasure Hoarder's favour. And they soon found themselves on the ground, their weapon flying to the other side.
“Not so strong now, mhm? Now give us all you have before things turn ugly” one of them said as he approached. They were sure he was smirking behind the bandana.
(Y/N) considered all the possibilities. They were sure they would lose in a hand-to-hand fight, so it was quickly discarded.
Their weapon had fallen too far away and, given their current tired state, they knew they wouldn’t grab it on time.
They felt lost for a moment. Were they supposed to just surrender?
But then, they remembered Xiao’s words. To call him any time they were in danger.
The adeptus name left their lips and, in just the blink of an eye, the two Treasure Hoarders were pushed to the ground.
Xiao glance at them for a second before focusing his attention on the other two.
Was that a hint of worry they saw in his eyes? Or was the situation making them imagine things?
“Go away now, mortals. I won’t warn you twice” he said, voice turning colder than usual.
The two Treasure Hoarders looked at each other for a second. Whatever they had planned, it was gone from their mind with just a glance from the adeptus.
Deciding they wanted to live another day, they turned around and ran as fast as they could.
“... are you okay?” Xiao finally said, his gaze moving to them.
“Yes, thank you Xiao” they said with a small smile, finally getting up from the ground.
“Mhmpf. It was nothing, mere mortals are nothing against an adeptus after all” he said as he grabbed their weapon from the ground, offering it back.
“They sure ran away fast” they chuckled, accepting the weapon.
They tried to ignore the blush that formed on their face as their hands touched.
“...Let’s go back to the Inn. We need to take care of those scratches” he said, grabbing their wrist carefully before pulling them down the familiar path.
“Oh! I’m fine really, I have suffered worse”
“Mortals are fragile. I’m… We're not risking an infection just because you didn’t want to treat those” he said, voice turning softer as he hid the light blush on his face.
“...Alright. Thank you again for saving me”
“...Anytime. You only need to call my name, and I’ll be by your side”
Hiii! I hope you're having a nice day/night! Could I request Zhongli, Xiao, Eula and perhaps also Razor with a gn!reader who starts talking passionately about their hobbies and suddenly shut up and apologize for rambling/bothering them? Can be headcanons or oneshots and the hobbies can be up to you ^^
Thank youuuu!! *offers a cookie*
Oh boy, cookie :D
You so sweet anon wah, hope you are having a good day/night too!
Request under the cut for long post, hope you like it!
Everyone in Liyue knew Zhongli was a very talkative person. One could hear him speak for hours and hours, and some even joked that he even talked in his sleep.
Zhongli
But no words came from him the moment they started talking.
Their voice was his favourite sound in all Teyvat. They always said they couldn’t get tired of his voice, but it was the same for them. Every time they spoke, it was like he went into a trance, a smile unconsciously forming on his face.
One of his favourite moments was when they talked about the most recent book they have read.
He loved how their eyes sparkled as they talked. How a small frown formed on their face as they mentioned their less favourite character. How their hands moved as they spoke.
Zhongli leaned in one hand as they continued speaking, a soft smile on his face as he listened to them.
“And then the protagon…. ah sorry, I was rambling again, wasn’t I? Sorry, must have been boring to hear me talk all this time” they said softly, smile disappearing from their face as they looked down.
Zhongli wasted no time to grab one of their hands across the table, gently rubbing his thumb over the skin.
“My dear, I love hearing you talk. Do continue if you want, please”
“Are you sure? I don’t want to make it boring…” they said, a bit of insecurity in their voice.
“Of course. Your voice is my favourite sound on this world, my dear”
Xiao
It was a peaceful night at the inn, and most of the clients and workers had already gone to sleep.
All except two, who were casually talking at the highest balcony of the inn.
Well, more like one of them was doing all the conversation. But they didn’t seem to mind, and neither did the adeptus at their side.
Xiao was someone of a few words and, even though he would never admit it aloud, their voice brought him some kind of comfort.
For him, it didn’t matter what they talked about. It always brought a small smile to his face.
The adeptus blinked as the sound of their voice faded, his gaze moving to look at his side.
“Sorry, all this… mortal stuff must be boring for you, right? You probably know about all the historical facts I’m telling you” they said with a nervous chuckle, their gaze moving to their hands.
Xiao didn’t like the sad look on their face. It made his stomach hurt somehow, he wanted them to smile again.
“... I never told you to stop, didn’t I?” he said, moving closer to them until their shoulders were touching.
The adeptus looked back at the sky, in an attempt to hide the light blush on his face.
“Continue talking. I want to hear more”
Eula
It wasn’t unusual to see Eula and (Y/N) hanging in Angel’s Share after a long day of work. It always helped Eula to relax after dealing with all her duties and people’s glances.
Their mere presence just made all her problems and worries disappear at the end of the day.
It helped her to talk about everything but, if she was honest, her favourite part was when they told her about their own day.
A smile formed on her face as they talked about some rare flowers they have found that day, and how they were making a small spot in their garden to add some of those flowers.
But they fell into silence as she took a small sip of her drink, and she couldn’t help but blink in confusion in their direction.
“Why did you stop?”
“Ah, I thought… it must be boring to hear me talking about flowers. Very boring compared to all the adventures you have as a knight, right?” They said with a nervous smile.
“I truly don’t see what you mean here. Flowers are very delicate and are considered unique in the noble circle” she said, leaving her to drink on the table.
Resting her head on one hand, she offered them a soft smile.
“So do continue talking. I would love to hear more”
Razor
The Wolf Kingdom was, for sure, their favourite place to draw. It was very peaceful, and not a lot of people adventured inside, fearing the wolves.
Which meant no one would stop to silently watch them paint.
It made them nervous, and only a few people were able to actually watch them paint.
Razor was, of course, between those few. He always sat near them as they painted, watching in silence as they painted.
Other times they told him about what they were planning to paint, considering the different techniques they could use and the different colours they would need.
Razor didn’t understand what they were talking about most of the time. It confused him, but he didn’t mind.
They looked so happy when they talked, so he was also happy.
So he was surprised when they suddenly stopped in their tracks, their voice fading away.
“Sorry Razor. Hearing all of this must be boring, right?” they said with a nervous chuckle, earning a confused look from him.
“But your voice… pretty. Razor likes to hear it…. and see you happy when you talk….” he said, gently taking one of their hands in his.
“If you are happy…. then Razor is happy too. Please, continue. Razor wants to hear more about pretty colours”
