Scenario: What pet names they'd give their s/o when in a relationship
Characters: Beidou, Sucrose, Bennett, Diluc, Eula, Xiao, and Zhongli.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She seems like the type of person who would refer to her s/o as "Honey" most of the time.
Other names that arent used too often insist of Buttercup, Love, Darling, etc.
I think she prefers those pet names that are both simple and sweet.
Cases these pet names are used:
-She uses Honey on a daily basis, especially whenever she gets super tired and it just slips off her tongue.
-Buttercup is probably more of a teasing nickname that she just finds super cute. It mostly comes up when she gets drunk or is in a teasing mood.
-Love is one of those nicknames she saves for dates because to her it just makes everything romantic and way more intimate.
-Darling is a nickname she uses for either when she gets jealous, or when she feels like saying it instead of "Honey"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She is really shy in relationships, so she probably doesn't say pet names too often.
I think she uses her s/o's real name more than anything.
When she does use pet names (which is not too often), Sucrose probably use ones like sweetheart, flower, and sweetie.
She probably prefers names that are easier to say yet hold lots of meaning.
Cased these pet names are used:
-Sweetheart is used mostly when she's alone with her s/o and is too tired to even realise what she just said.
-I think Flower would be used when her s/o is gone for a bit and she really misses them. Will say something like "My flower, I miss them.. " to Albedo or Timeus without realizing.
-Sweetie is a nickname that was probably originally given to her, but she liked it so much that sometimes she uses it on her s/o as well
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bennett probably uses pet names to show how much he really appreciate his s/o for not leaving him even with his bad luck.
He definitely refers to his s/o mainly as Angel or My Love
There isn't really any other nicknames he'd use, maybe like a shorter version of their name or something.
He definitely prefers simple nicknames that shows his appreciation.
Cases these nicknames are used:
-Angel is his way of letting his s/o know how much they've helped him. he wants to let them know that they really are an Angel whose helped him through so much.
-My Love is used when he is trying to remind his s/o how much he loves them. This nickname is mostly used when he is comforting them after something makes them feel negative emotions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He is definitely the type of person who uses your real name in public, and nicknames in more secluded, private areas.
Diluc probably calls his s/o different nicknames depending on the atmosphere.
He most likely uses Darling, Rose, and Daylight.
I think Diluc prefers nicknames that are both intimate and romantic.
Cases these nicknames are used:
-Darling is usually used when him and his s/o are just at their house on a weekend. It's the most common nickname used.
-When he takes his s/o out on dates, he likes to put a rose in their hair and then call them "My Rose"
-Daylight is a nickname not used too much when his s/o is around. He'll definitely only say it either to them, or around the house when nobody is home, but he'll say something like "You've brightened up my world, Daylight." While he is looking at a picture of him and his s/o.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She definitely wouldn't admit it, but deep down, Eula is so happy that her s/o loves her for who she is, and not what type of bloodline she comes from.
Also not someone who uses nicknames too often in public.
I think that she would call her s/o nicknames such as Dear, My Gratefulness, and Bubbles
Eula prefers nicknames that both stand out, yet are also pretty simple to how she feels
Cases these nicknames are used:
-Dear is just a simple nickname she likes to use when she gets home after a tiring day. To her, it shows her s/o the trust she has for them.
-My gratefulness is a straightforward nickname that shows her utmost gratitude towards her s/o for all the times they stuck by her side.
-Bubbles is more of a cute joke nickname that she uses when she says "Vengeance will be mine" toward her s/o. (It'll basically go like "You took the last ---- before me? Well Bubbles, vengeance will be mine.")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xiao doesn't really get the point of nicknames, so he usually just calls his s/o by their name.
Although it's really, really rare, he will call his s/o nicknames on their birthday and sometimes when he feels softer than usual.
I think he would use nicknames like: Gem or Light of my Life
He probably prefers more subtle, yet sweet and simple nicknames that just explain his feelings so much.
Cases these nicknames are used:
-Gem is mostly used on his s/o's birthday, because he feels most obligated to show them how much they mean to him on that day. This nickname is mostly meant to represent how much of a gift his s/o really is to him despite all the suffering he's lived through.
-Light of My Life is basically another way of reminding his s/o that they've lit up his way when it comes to love, and he wouldn't ask for anyone better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Honestly he probably doesn't mind using nicknames in public. He's certainly not shy, and he loves his s/o.
Zhongli probably uses more simple nicknames like Dear, Love, and maybe Dove.
He seems like someone who really likes one word nicknames (because that's all he needs to describe how amazing his s/o is)
Cases these nicknames are used:
-To Zhongli, Dear is one nickname that you can't go wrong with. It's so simple, yet it really captures his feelings towards his s/o perfectly.
-Love is just one of those nicknames that slips off his tongue. It's a nickname that Zhongli is personally really fond of. He really likes using this name on his s/o when it's just the two of them together.
-Dove is a nickname that Zhongli uses to let his s/o know that they've calmed his heart. It feel way more peaceful than it did, and he couldn't thank them enough for it.
