summary: genshin men being huge simps and spoiling u every chance they get <3

feat. diluc ragnvindr, kaeya alberich, childe, kazuha kaedehara, scary mooch, xiao, thoma, ayatoe, al-haitham, kaveh

a/n: i swear i was working on the masterlist but the brainrot finally got to me hnghhhh

warnings: gn but feminine implications (ie. princess treatment, reader wears heels and makeup, passenger princess), simping for reader, maybe ooc? swearing, fluff, some are modern aus, maybe innuendos?

─ ✰ DILUC is the gentleman we all deserve in our lives. if it’s raining outside, he’ll make sure to protect you from the wetness! he makes sure you’re fully bundled up in his coat, and that when he’s walking you home, the umbrella is fully covering you. oh, his shoulder’s getting wet? that’s fine, a little bit of water never hurt anyone. but if it happens to you? all hell breaks loose. what if you get sick from the rain? are you feeling alright? do you need medicine? a doctor? and if you’re in a modern au, he’ll definitely let you be the passenger princess 🥰 you can take naps, eat snacks, and pick all the songs! you don’t ever have to worry about giving him directions, you can just do whatever you want. he even installs led lights in his car so you can take asthetic pictures <3 if you’re tired, don’t worry about him, he’ll be fine alone, take your beauty sleep :) he drives you anywhere you want, no questions asked! you want to go to his mansion? you’ll be there in ten. grocery store? sure. nail salon? he’ll even accompany you to get your nails done just so you won’t be alone, pays for everything too!

─ ✰ KAEYA is absolutely whipped for you. to most people, he’s the town flirt, and a drunkard, but to you, he’s the most caring and softest person you’ve ever met, even if it’s hidden under layers of hurt. if you go out drinking with him, and come back drunk, he’ll carry you bridal style back home. pressing your body closer to his, he makes sure to prop your head so your neck won’t get sore. and if you wear makeup, he won’t put in the low effort to wipe your face with a makeup wipe, he’ll do your whole skincare routine for you! first, he uses makeup remover to take everything off, then, gently, he massages the cleanser into your skin and washes it off. he applies your creams and serums, making sure to be as tender as possible, even if you whine that all you want to do is go to sleep. he soothes you, whispering that all he needs is ten more minutes to brush your teeth and get you changed so you’ll feel clean in the morning. and for the hangover in the morning? he makes you special soup and showers you himself so you don’t even have to lift a finger.

─ ✰ CHILDE loves spoiling you whenever he gets the chance to. other people might think it’s just another sugar baby dynamic, but in truth, it’s far from it. it’s a selfless love, not just based on materialistic items. but even then, he’s willing to sacrifice his time and money for you. you’re his baby and his top priority always, no matter what. are you hungry? well, get ready, because he just booked a reservation at the highest star restaurant in town! you’re having a bad day? no problem, he’ll send one of the lower ranking fatui members to do the dirty work and he’s coming home early! he’ll bring home a large bouquet of flowers and a cute stuffie to match. you need new clothes? he’s driving you to all your favourite stores on his card <3 his wallet is practically bottomless, so don’t be afraid to spend what you want! a couple thousand mora is nothing to him if he can see your frowning pout turn into the pretty smile he loves so much. he even carries all your bags for you without asking! he can’t have his darling getting tired after all :(( just as long as after you give him a smooch on the lips and an hour of cuddles, the only payment he’ll accept (´∀｀)♡

─ ✰ KAZUHA, even after years of being in a relationship, still finds ways to give you butterflies in your stomach. when you come back into your quiet home after a long night, too exhausted to take care of yourself, he leads you to a chair and sits you down. he ever so delicately unlaces your heels for you, taking his time doing so, but don’t worry! you won’t ever be bored. if the silence is too much, he’ll ask you how your day was, talk about his, and spill all the tea that happened on the crux. and if your feet are tender, he’ll massage them gently so they won’t be sore in the morning :(( he’s putting the utmost care and effort into whatever he’s doing for you, and that never fails to make your heart skip a beat. he still opens doors for you, dedicates hundreds, if not thousand of poems and haikus to you, and never fails to make you feel loved. he’d never forget an important date, even if you don’t mention it for months before! he always asks for your hand, and when you place it in his with a knowing smile, he gives you a fairytale-like kiss on the top, making sure to peck every little fingertip in the process.

─ ✰ SCARAMOUCHE never thought he’d bow down to anyone again in his lifetime. he’s trained every little bit of himself to be the most powerful, the strongest being he could so he’d never have to go through that humiliation. but yet here he is, tucking away his ego and pride, bending down on the ground for you. yes, he may grumble, telling you to hurry up, and that he doesn’t have all day, but the fact that he’s basically submitting to you speaks for itself. you taught him what love meant, healing, and promised that you’d never leave him, and for that, you have his eternal loyalty. as you climb on his back, he gently hooks your legs against his arms as he stabilizes both of you. the proximity of your face resting against his neck causes him to go up in flames, throwing his oversized hat on your head, telling you to hold on to it for him. but really he’s hoping the large structure obstructs his rosy cheeks. he does every little ‘embarrassing’ thing for you, from painting his nails barbie pink to being shrek for your matching halloween costumes. if his younger self were to look back at him, he simply wouldn’t believe it, but now, he wouldn’t even consider the possibility of even saying no to you.

─ ✰ XIAO never, ever, takes you adventuring with him, simply because he believes someone as precious as you shouldn’t risk getting hurt and scuffed up. so instead, he brings you little gifts that he sees while adventuring. a glaze lily, protective adepti charms, and almond tofu are all gifts that he’s brought to you before. he’s also much softer with you, never raising his voice and being cautious about his choice of words. if you ever get caught in a physical situation with him, automatically he moves to stand in front of you, one arm protectively circling your waist, pulling you closer to him. being xiao’s s/o, you also get special privileges. while he answers most who call his name, if you even utter his in a whisper, he’ll be there in a heartbeat, no matter if it’s an emergency or not. whether you called him to join your tea party, or if you are in the slightest bit of danger, he’ll be there. he also trusts you more than his logic, even if everyone else is against you. if you’re in a scuffle with other humans, he makes sure to hear both sides, but his heart already knows who’s right. whether there are 100 witnesses who all say you’re wrong, he’ll still believe you anyways.

─ ✰ THOMA is absolute malewife material, no questions asked. sometimes, if he’s not busy in the mornings, he’ll surprise you with breakfast in bed without a special occasion. he’ll peck your cheek and give you a soft ‘good morning’ as to not break the sleepy trance you’re in, carefully placing the tray onto the nearest nightstand. whenever he’s around, he does all your chores too, from washing the dishes, to dusting the house and sweeping the floors. you wom’t even have to lift a finger, he goes as far to make lunch too! since he’s not home by then, usually somewhere in the kamisato estate, he leaves handwritten sticky notes on each lunch box he gives you. he fills them with messages like, “the perfume you wore smells good today!” “your smile is blinding, my ray of sunshine” or “you’re gorgeous always, my lovely.” never once is a message repeated, he believes someone as special as you deserves to hear something unique each day. he even goes as far to make your food cute! he’s made panda shaped onigiri’s, cat-like dango’s… all because you asked him once, it’s become a tradition now.

─ ✰ AYATO never leaves you bored when he goes to one of his meetings. his maids set up a spa day, complete with a makeover and evening gown to go with it, but it’s just not the same without your husband :( thankfully, being the significant other of the head of the yashiro commission has its own perks. for instance, you can walk around like you own the place and join in on in his meetings, albeit later you might get punished by ayato for interrupting, but really, he doesn’t mind. seated on his lap, you play with his fingers and let out a quiet huff. why did you think this was a good idea again? what they’re talking about is so boring, you’re beginning to regret your desicion to join ayato, wishing to be soaking in the tub with a face mask again. thankfully, shortly after, he cuts the conference short, apologizing and telling them he has more pressing matters to attend to. you lead him straight home holding his hand, giddy that he’ll join another one of your salon days. he makes sure to pamper you, giving you a massage and washing your hair for you, praising you for being so patient, even if you were the reason the meeting ended early.

─ ✰ AL-HAITHAM, i headcanon, thinks he’s being subtle with putting up with your shenanigans, but he couldn’t be farther off. he might seem indifferent on the outside, but he cares much more than you might think. can’t sleep? just wake him up at 3am, he’ll wrap you in a blanket burrito and read to you until you fall asleep! just got your nails done? he’ll carry all of your books, what else would he need his giant man boobs muscles for? he revolves around you, as if you are the sun and he the earth. and god forbid if you’re ever mad at him, his whole life comes tumbling down. although if you can’t see it in his facial expression, all of his rationality goes flying out the window. he’s snappier than usual, getting annoyed at the littlest of inconveniences. even if you’re in the wrong, he’ll still apologize first, he just wants you to start talking to him again 😢 if you have conditions to making up, he follows them all to the tee. give you one kiss for every hour he’s made you upset? done. buy you the newest line of makeup or skincare? absolutely. cook dinner for the next two weeks? he already does that.

─ ✰ KAVEH is placed 1st on the list of simps. just pout your lips and whimper a “pretty please?”, he’s down bad. he lets you braid, curl, and play with his hair whenever you want, even if it was already styled in the beginning. he lets you steal all of his clothes, who cares if he’s worn the same thing five times in the past week? you look so adorable in his white shirt, he can’t complain. oh, and if you don’t like his style? he’ll let you pick out his clothes and style him yourself, he’ll stand there patiently for you like a mannequin <3 technically it’s not allowed, but he shows you all of his top secret projects and all the cool things he’s doing, you’re the only one allowed in his office! oh, what’s this? you want him to do your makeup? just give him a week, he’ll perfect cat eyeliner, lip liner and blending eyeshadow colors for you! after you’re done, he lets you do his makeup too, praising you for your talent. even if the blush is patchy, foundation cakey and lip gloss smudged, he still thanks you endlessly with unlimited cuddles and a new handbag matching his briefcase!

[love-marimo]

just diluc and his stoic bashfulness…

he's not the type of person to say i love you a lot nor call you pet names especially at the start of your relationship, but oh boy does he get flustered often. and while he prides himself on thinking he can hide it, you eventually learn his body language and see right through his facade.

the most obvious scenario would be when he gives you a bouquet of flowers, from cecilias to windwheel asters, he's got them all beautifully wrapped just for you. it's only been a few weeks since he started courting such a fine person like you are, so you better indulge in his bashfulness!

"hey, diluc! sorry to keep you waiting. how do i look?" you ask, hoping that he likes how the dress fits you.

he's got this really cute stoic poker face paired with a tinge of pink on his cheeks. and you can't help but smile at how he's awfully unaware of it.

"i- well, you're beautiful." and after an awkward pause he presents the bouquet to your face, avoiding eye contact as much as he can.

"oh! for me?" you chuckle in delight, and this makes his cheeks grow warmer.

"i hope you like these as well. flora has helped me in selecting which flowers would suit for courting someone. i hope you don't mind." he almost mumbles, placing his hand under his chin, as if he's in deep thought…

when in reality he just tries to make himself appear like it's no big deal. is he failing? well, you be the judge.

if you think this trait of his goes away once you two make it official, you're dead wrong.

this man turns into a tomato with confidence. you make him admit that he got jealous? pink cheeks and a stoic expression. you baked him a cake for his birthday, paired with his favorite bottle of wine? flushed cheeks and an adoring smile on his face.

you decide to surprise him in the bedroom with something erotic? he's running his hand on his hair, a red blush on his cheeks as he tells you how bold you are for doing something like this to him.

he gets more honest about how he easily crumbles when he's with you the longer you spend time together.

and when he finally decides to call you a pet name for the first time he goes,

"um, darling, could you pass me the book of accounts on the shelf you're cleaning?"

you stop dead in your tracks as you turn to look at him with a confused but delighted smile.

"why of course, dear. here you go." you reached for a kiss on his cheek. "love you." you say casually as you went back to cleaning.

and of course, being the usual stoic bashful that he is, he grabs your hand to turn you around for a sweet kiss on the lips.

with a small smile, he looks away for a moment as you laugh at him for his silliness.

he places your hand on his warm cheek, rubs small circles on it and replies, finally looking back at you,

"i love you too, sweetheart."

just diluc and his stoic bashfulness… is surely enough to melt your heart, as you make his own flutter, too.

Could I request Kaeya, Diluc, Childe and Zhongli getting a lap pillow from their s/o as they test?

Anon this is soooooo cute! Omg of course you can. I added in my baby boy Xiao because he's my favorite.

Characters: Diluc, Zhongli, Xiao, Kaeya

TW: None!

~~~~~

Diluc

This is one of his favorite things to do when he has a rare moment free from work or from his night vigilance

You sit on the bed or couch, his head in your lap while your fingers run through his hair.

He could fall asleep in seconds. This is perfection itself.

At least until something happens and his brief moment of rest is ruined.

Another day, Diluc sighs and gives you a kiss on the forehead

He loves you more than words can describe

Zhongli

It's not often that you get such small, intimate moments with the geo archon

You love those moments though.

He's peaceful, not sleeping as others would but carefully cataloging every sensation. The way your fingers feel if you're touching his hair. The soft sound of breathing.

After the arching war, Zhongli didn't think that he would be able to find such peace.

But he finds it here, in this moment.

With you

And as someone who's lost so much, your presence is nothing short of a gift from Celestia itself

Xiao

This boy would be so uncomfortable with physical touch at first

You'd have to coax him. Almost beg him

He's very reluctant. Not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he doesn't want his karmic debt tainting you

But eventually, with enough time, you manage to coax him into the soft touches, getting him comfortable.

The first time you tell him to lay his head in your lap, he's as tense as a board. Stiff, unable to relax, just staring up at you

You hum a soft song and eventually, he somehow relaxes. His eyes drift shut, and though he doesn't sleep, he's more relaxed than you've ever seen.

For the first time in a very long time though, Xiao has peace

Kaeya

You don't even get a choice here

He comes home exhausted from work, doesn't matter where you are because your lap is now his pillow

Please he's had to deal with too many stupid people today, just pet his hair and maybe tell him how pretty he is

His arms wrap around your middle, face buried into your stomach and he's not moving for several hours, thank you very much

He might move if you give him enough attention though. But it has to be a lot

You knew what you were signing up for when you married him though

[ababyrasberry]

Sumeru men and habits they have!!

alhaitham x reader, kaveh x reader, tighnari x reader, cyno x reader, wanderer x reader (seperate)

Alhaitham has a habit of always touching you in public, but not in a bad way! I mean as in holding your hand or having an arm around your waist while you go on a walk or something. Although he claims, to not like physical affection, it’s his way of showing Sumeru that you’re his. In his massive brain, he sees it as not going overboard like some couples, but still letting society know that both of you are in a relationship .

You and Alhaitham walked down the streets of Sumeru city, arms linked together and looking at the various specialties being sold. It was one of Alhaitham’s very few days off, and he planned on spending all of it with you. The different names of items being called out by vendors allured you, and without even knowing, you were practically dragging him along out of excitement. Sure, maybe going out wasn’t Alhaitham’s first choice when it came to spending his free day, but he would rather be alongside you than anyone else.

Kaveh has a habit of showing you off or talking about you to anybody with two ears and a beating heart. He can’t help it, he just feels so lucky to have you!! He will legit meet a stranger and be like “-oh and also i have this amazing parter and they light up my word and-“. Sometimes ppl get tired of him for it, but they also have to agree with him cuz like, you’re pretty awesome. With or without you around, he just always seems to drift the conversation to you and your coolness.

You and Kaveh were supposed to meet up for a weekend date at a nearby coffee shop, which is why you were currently getting ready to leave. You left your house and walked in the cafe to see Kaveh there, sitting at a table talking with the traveler (we’re gonna go with Aether), and Paimon. Kaveh doesn’t seem to notice you walk in, so immersed in his conversation with Aether, but Aether notices you and sends a look of help. Walking closer, you could start to make out their conversation.

“ No Aether they’re actually so pretty and guess what they got me this gift and it made my day because its handmade and-“

I guess Kaveh just loves you that much.

Ok, Tighnari loves to give you those little flower bookmarks he talks abt, and its adorable. His face is almost hesitant, wondering if you’ll like it (of course you will 😀🔪), and for once, he isn’t the confident, sassy fox you know so well. He puts a lot of effort into picking the right flowers and making sure that they are pressed correctly, so make sure to thank him with hugs and cuddles.

“Hey, wake up you lummox, we’re going to be late for patrol if your don’t get your lazy ass up,” whispered Tighnari, who was somehow gentle yet demanding with his words. You got up and started to get ready, You were both ready to leave, but Tighnari stopped you from opening the door. “I have something for you. I know you started a new book, so I thought you could use a bookmark to help” he said, looking in your eyes for any form of disinterest or dislike. All he saw was adoration in your eyes as you took the bookmark from your hands and stared at it.

“It’s perfect, thank you my love” you whispered, wrapping your arms around him and kissing his shoulder.

“OH SHIT WE’RE LATE-“, he shouted, making you realize the time. Both of you bolted out the door, grateful for the one peaceful moment you had.

Cyno has a habit of being really clingy when the two of you are alone. Like anytime he sees you doing something besides giving him affection, he makes you stop whatever you’re doing for a hug or kiss. You’ll be writing an essay for the Akedeymia and he will just pull you out of your chair and then sit with you in his lap. That’s his compromise, you can do work, and he gets to snuggle w you.

You have been working really hard on your essay for the Akedeymia, hoping that your writing technique and knowledge on your subject will get you recognition from your boss. You wrote and wrote and wrote, hand cramping up from the nonstop movement, and neck hurting from looking down. You didn’t notice Cyno sneaking up on you, ready to attack you with love. In one swift movement, he lifted you off of your seat and sat you down in his lap. He hadn’t seen you in a while, and he missed you.

“Cyno, I know you want some loving, but I have to finish this” you said.

“You’ve been working on that for hours, its time you take a break” he said while picking you up again and leading you to the couch. You didn’t deny him, knowing that nothing would come in between him and loving you.

The wanderer (Kuni), has a habit of teasing and pestering you. He knows it, too. The little pokes on your check or the pinches to your shoulder make you annoyed as hell all the time, but he loves it. He likes the way your face scrunches up in annoyance or the side eye you give him when he gets on your nerves. He can’t help it, you just look too peaceful, and he’s ready to wreck that.

“Kuniiiiiii, stop poking me!” you whined, trying to take a nap. You were so tired, and all you wanted to do was to crawl in bed. Kuni had other ideas, and he wasn’t going to let up until you gave in to his pestering.

“Why should I? I spent all day waiting for you to get home, and the first thing you do it try to nap, how boring.” replied Kuni.

Even though he was trying to get you up, he noticed how tired you were when you walked in, so he eventually crawled into bed with you. As Kuni got under the sheets, he immediately snatched the pillow you were cuddling and wrapped his arms around you. You snuggled into his shoulder, and both of you drifted off to sleep.

pls follow if u liked it!! requests are open!!

[avgeliic]

he softly hummed as you ran your hand through his hair, his head on your chest and his arms wrapped around your waist.

“put the book away..” he mumbled pouting as his grip became just a little more tighter. “Im almost done with this chapter-“ you mumbled, more focused on the book you were reading.

He sighed as he listened to your heartbeat, a sound that he could listen to forever. It was a sign that his lover was there, and with him.

You gently scratched his scalp, a small grown escaping his lips. This is what he craves, these moments..

it would be better if you just focused on him though..

He sighed as his eyes fluttered shut, his breathing becoming softer. You smiled as you placed the book beside you.

“Are you comfortable here?” You whispered as you continued to scratch his head, his hair messy. He nodded, a small hum escaping his lips.

“as long as I’m with you.” He mumbled against your chest as he held you closer. (if that was even possible..)

Alhaitham, Itto, Gorou, Tighnari, Cyno, Kaveh, Kazuha, Thoma, Childe, Kaeya.

─ ✰ XIAO never, ever, takes you adventuring with him, simply because he believes someone as precious as you shouldn’t risk getting hurt and scuffed up. so instead, he brings you little gifts that he sees while adventuring. a glaze lily, protective adepti charms, and almond tofu are all gifts that he’s brought to you before. he’s also much softer with you, never raising his voice and being cautious about his choice of words. if you ever get caught in a physical situation with him, automatically he moves to stand in front of you, one arm protectively circling your waist, pulling you closer to him. being xiao’s s/o, you also get special privileges. while he answers most who call his name, if you even utter his in a whisper, he’ll be there in a heartbeat, no matter if it’s an emergency or not. whether you called him to join your tea party, or if you are in the slightest bit of danger, he’ll be there. he also trusts you more than his logic, even if everyone else is against you. if you’re in a scuffle with other humans, he makes sure to hear both sides, but his heart already knows who’s right. whether there are 100 witnesses who all say you’re wrong, he’ll still believe you anyways.

─ ✰ THOMA is absolute malewife material, no questions asked. sometimes, if he’s not busy in the mornings, he’ll surprise you with breakfast in bed without a special occasion. he’ll peck your cheek and give you a soft ‘good morning’ as to not break the sleepy trance you’re in, carefully placing the tray onto the nearest nightstand. whenever he’s around, he does all your chores too, from washing the dishes, to dusting the house and sweeping the floors. you wom’t even have to lift a finger, he goes as far to make lunch too! since he’s not home by then, usually somewhere in the kamisato estate, he leaves handwritten sticky notes on each lunch box he gives you. he fills them with messages like, “the perfume you wore smells good today!” “your smile is blinding, my ray of sunshine” or “you’re gorgeous always, my lovely.” never once is a message repeated, he believes someone as special as you deserves to hear something unique each day. he even goes as far to make your food cute! he’s made panda shaped onigiri’s, cat-like dango’s… all because you asked him once, it’s become a tradition now.

─ ✰ AYATO never leaves you bored when he goes to one of his meetings. his maids set up a spa day, complete with a makeover and evening gown to go with it, but it’s just not the same without your husband :( thankfully, being the significant other of the head of the yashiro commission has its own perks. for instance, you can walk around like you own the place and join in on in his meetings, albeit later you might get punished by ayato for interrupting, but really, he doesn’t mind. seated on his lap, you play with his fingers and let out a quiet huff. why did you think this was a good idea again? what they’re talking about is so boring, you’re beginning to regret your desicion to join ayato, wishing to be soaking in the tub with a face mask again. thankfully, shortly after, he cuts the conference short, apologizing and telling them he has more pressing matters to attend to. you lead him straight home holding his hand, giddy that he’ll join another one of your salon days. he makes sure to pamper you, giving you a massage and washing your hair for you, praising you for being so patient, even if you were the reason the meeting ended early.

─ ✰ AL-HAITHAM, i headcanon, thinks he’s being subtle with putting up with your shenanigans, but he couldn’t be farther off. he might seem indifferent on the outside, but he cares much more than you might think. can’t sleep? just wake him up at 3am, he’ll wrap you in a blanket burrito and read to you until you fall asleep! just got your nails done? he’ll carry all of your books, what else would he need his giant man boobs muscles for? he revolves around you, as if you are the sun and he the earth. and god forbid if you’re ever mad at him, his whole life comes tumbling down. although if you can’t see it in his facial expression, all of his rationality goes flying out the window. he’s snappier than usual, getting annoyed at the littlest of inconveniences. even if you’re in the wrong, he’ll still apologize first, he just wants you to start talking to him again 😢 if you have conditions to making up, he follows them all to the tee. give you one kiss for every hour he’s made you upset? done. buy you the newest line of makeup or skincare? absolutely. cook dinner for the next two weeks? he already does that.

─ ✰ KAVEH is placed 1st on the list of simps. just pout your lips and whimper a “pretty please?”, he’s down bad. he lets you braid, curl, and play with his hair whenever you want, even if it was already styled in the beginning. he lets you steal all of his clothes, who cares if he’s worn the same thing five times in the past week? you look so adorable in his white shirt, he can’t complain. oh, and if you don’t like his style? he’ll let you pick out his clothes and style him yourself, he’ll stand there patiently for you like a mannequin <3 technically it’s not allowed, but he shows you all of his top secret projects and all the cool things he’s doing, you’re the only one allowed in his office! oh, what’s this? you want him to do your makeup? just give him a week, he’ll perfect cat eyeliner, lip liner and blending eyeshadow colors for you! after you’re done, he lets you do his makeup too, praising you for your talent. even if the blush is patchy, foundation cakey and lip gloss smudged, he still thanks you endlessly with unlimited cuddles and a new handbag matching his briefcase!

WHEN THEY WANT ATTENTION / ARE NEEDY

— [warnings]. semi proofread ʅ（◞‿◟）

— characters . . . alhaitham, kaveh, kaeya, venti, xiao, shenhe, tartaglia, scaramouche, kokomi, ayato

— notes . . . SFW! you can imagine certain ending outcomes ehem either way tho <3 also sorry for being dead , school has been beating my ass ( T_T)＼(^-^ )

AL HAITHAM — 艾尔海森

— nonchalant and subtle yet somehow upfront; yeah, his personality extends to your love life too

— he wont outright tell you he wants you, but rather opts for seeking out ways to have you close to him, thats more than enough for him

it’s rather rare for the illustrious scribe to even be in the mood to scout the attention of people but even more so to stay quietly idle when he is in dire need of your affection. alhaitham despises talking around the problem, he is very to the point, much to a lot of peoples dismay, but when it comes to problems concerning love.. he becomes a little more hesitant.

currently, alhaitham was distracting himself by reading some novel on the couch. despite his normally calm and collected demeanour, his mind was a complete blur. his head ached with warming images of you and your touch.

he had this uncontrollable urge to see you; he needed your warmth. his chest was tightening as he stared blankly at the pages of the book with furrowed eyebrows. “woah, what did the book ever do to you?” you tease him with an adoring laugh. his gaze quickly focuses on you without a second thought.

“nothing. could you come here, please?” he was such an expert on masking his true feelings and intentions it was borderline bizarre. you looked slightly concerned before walking over and taking your place next to him. he immediately wraps his arm around your waist your breath hitching as he pulls you close. he kisses the crown of your head, “you don’t mind giving me some special attention, do you? you’ve been gone for quite a while.”

alhaitham didn't think he sounded desperate but it would've been impossible to miss the waver in his voice or his obvious worry. vou knew his emotions were well hidden from most people because he never wore his heart on his sleeve, his intelligent arrogance was almost like a shield against all feelings.

he picked up his book once more and began to read, only this time, he held you tightly under his arm, occasionally pecking your forehead delicately. alhaitham’s love for you isn’t loud or obvious, but amidst its quiet subtlety you can certainly tell his feelings are pure and true.

KAVEH — 卡维

— needy, pouty and dramatic; the epitome of kaveh!! his love for you is immeasurable so by proxy his clinginess knows no bounds

— however, while he is extremely clingy and love-dovey with you, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t that lil’ pang of insecurity caving in his heart as he questions your intentions for your lack of affection

with each hush and disappointed pout from you he rolled his eyes; the arising annoyance becoming much clearer as he leans back with crossed arms and stares at the mundane ceiling. he’s been hearing the same phrase for the past couple of hours now; “i’m busy, give me a few more minutes love.”

kaveh is absolutely not the type of person to simply mind his business even when politely asked to because shouldn’t you be PERFECTLY able to complete your work WHILE giving him the attention he deserves? he respectfully curses your rude, blissful ignorance (he overthinks the reason you’re ignoring him) and stares at you like a kicked puppy of some sort.

“[name], darling, love, babyyy~ is there another reason as to why you’re ignoring me?” he chimes, putting all his body weight onto you.

“my beloved sunshine,” you cup his cheeks with both hands, feeling the intense heat bloom into a fiery blush, “i’ve told you this repeatedly; i’m working. not ignoring you, just concentrating.” he opens his mouth to respond but words fail him. “now please, let me fo-“ kaveh abruptly presses his lips onto yours, beginning to slide his hand down towards your waist.

you pull away for air and while you had a look of utter dismay at his disruption, kaveh was more than thrilled smiling from ear to ear as he peppered kisses across your cheeks, forehead and jawline. “come on dear, can’t even take a short break for me?” archons a pretty man with an exposed chest is very hard to reject…

A. KAEYA — 凯亚

— gods he’s so ashamed. THE calvary captain seeking his lover out multiple times a day out of pure loneliness? how pitiful…

— he may eventually muster the courage to ask you for your love directly, but for now, he’ll stick to more.. “discreet” methods

kaeya’s mind was completely intoxicated with images of you. despite you being his utter most favourite distraction, having thoughts of you without the tangible experience isn’t as pleasant — therefore, the lovely calvary captain decided to seek you out in hopes you’d quell his aching heart.

if only he realised sooner how hard it was to tell someone you love you miss them even though you saw them last night then he wouldn’t be sitting in your room; absolutely speechless — speechless due to both embarrassment and shyness. perhaps he looked a little foolish seeking you out midday when you saw each other a couple hours ago when saying your farewells..

to no surprise, you were completely oblivious to kaeya’s inner turmoil as he stared at you with a charming grin while you focused on some documents — it was truly eating him up inside. what exactly was he meant to say to you ?

“ehem, i hope you don’t intend on ignoring your charming boyfriend for too long.”

“sorry, love, i’ll be finished soon.” honestly kaeya didn’t think he could last much longer, with his heartbeat deafening his ears and his cheeks exulting deadly heat, he coughs into his hand and averts his gaze from you rather quickly.

“hey, didn’t you have somewhere else to be?” you ask teasingly. kaeya felt his chest tighten at both your gentle laugh and your abrupt question. he replied, “why would i need to go anywhere else when i have you?”. it was your turn to be taken aback. he could feel his heart beat louder with yearning anticipation.

kaeya couldn't help but reach his arms out towards you and pull you into an embrace. “oh.” your voice died out once you noticed the soft expression on kaeya's face, your heart fluttered uncontrollably.

“i apologise.” you blink at him in confusion.

“apologise for what?”

“for being clingy.” you laugh at him and he sighs into your shoulder, which leads to you ruffling his hair in comfort. he’s so lovingly stupid.

VENTI — 温迪

— got absolutely NO shame in begging or bargaining for your affection, he believes if he pesters you hard enough each time you’ll give in — and of course you do

— this man literally LIVES off of your touch and affection, how dare you not give him it constantly ?

“windblume～” venti chimes at you with glee, purposefully obstructing your view with his hand; anything to stop you from working. you simply ignore him, lightly smacking his hand away to continue.

“love~” another wack to his hand, “my knight, lovebug, sweetiepie~” you roll your eyes and push him away with a groan. “the more you ignore me the worse the petnames will get honey bunches.” you physically recoil.

venti quietens down for the moment, settling down and turning to face you to hold the side of your face with his warm hand. “darling~” he whispers directly in your ear, your body shudders and your hand instantly flies up to your ear in embarrassment.

you sigh, alas defeated by your husband’s irritating yet charming persistence, “if it makes you stop, what do you want..” he giggles in triumph. “gods, you’re so lucky you’re pretty.” you mumble under your breath. venti jumps onto you with a lovesick grin, clinging onto you like you could disappear at any given moment, said moment, could come rather soon if he uttered another vomit-inducing petname. the thought made you shudder, but nonetheless you enjoyed his affection.

“what would I do without you, my love?” he cooed into your hair. you hummed in agreement, beginning to pull him down onto your lap for a more comfortable hugging position. venti of course happily obliged, snuggling his face into your neck in bliss.

you comb gently through this fluffy locks, all your prior work forgotten as you engage in your lover’s mindless gentle kisses. even with your earlier dismissals, you ultimately decided to oblige with his selfishly adorable needs; honestly who could resist that love struck smile and those shining eyes?

“i love you..” he mumbled into your skin.

“i love you too, but i’m not forgiving you for calling me all those petnames.” you pinch his cheek, he looks at you with pleading cat-like eyes.

“aww, you didn’t like the name honey bunches?”

“don’t start.” you both laugh simultaneously. venti’s heart skipped a beat at the melodic sound of your voice echoing through his head like a song stuck on replay. you’ve done so much to tear apart the complex mist shrouding this god’s heart, it still feels so surreal how much he genuinely needs you besides him — he wouldn’t have it any other way, however.

XIAO — 魈

— yeah he likes to BELIEVE he’s subtle, but it is rather easy to figure out his internal solace and longing

— him ? wanting your needlessly heartwarming affection that is not limited to your gentle kisses and hugs ? why, of course not.

— this guy is isolated pretty much daily, and now he’s clinging onto you like a lost puppy , surely he understands he’s being obvious..

“xiao, darling, you really don’t have to come with me if you don’t wa-“

“i’m going.”

xiao has been progressively tenacious; continually following you around throughout the day and remaining rather quiet while doing so. it wasn’t particularly odd per se, it was rather normal for him to just stick around besides you but it’s like his presence around you has increased or perhaps exaggerated.

“uhm, xiao?” you pause in your step, turning back to face him with a clueless look. he hums in acknowledgement to let you continue. “is there something wrong? you’ve been following me around silently for the entire day.”

silence. although not unusual, this time it was rather..awkward. xiao stared at you, a blush creeping onto his face as his eyes widened at your sudden question. was he not being discreet enough ? did you catch on ?

you were about to speak again when xiao suddenly gripped your arm, lightly of course, his mouth was open but no words managed to come out. his blush deepened significantly. “xiao?” you take his hands into yours in worry. after another moment of silence, before xiao alas spoke, “i just wanted to.. see you..” despite his awfully adorable phrasing, you understood his general implication.

“oh.” your lips parted slightly from surprise, your gaze softening. you couldn’t help but start laughing, leading to poor xiao tilting his head in ashamed confusion. “forget i said anything.” he grumbled, turning around with haste to cover the embarrassment on his face.

you hug his back with a final chuckle, “sorry sorry, i’m not laughing at you, you’re just very cute.” he sighs defeated, dropping his head low knowing he can now not run away from your affectionate grip. “if you wanted my love all you had to do was ask, xiao.” i was trying to.

“nevertheless,” xiao twists around to face you finally, “i’ll give you all my attention for tonight, my dear.” he couldn’t have been more pleased.

SHENHE — 申鹤

— she can barely grasp her innate human emotions so you can sort of imagine the poor girls internal bewilderment when her heart starts aching at the thought of you

— she loves, doesn’t she? but then why does her heart ache? isn’t that exactly how you feel when you dislike someone? — fortunately, her mortal fog of emotions becomes clearer once she finally gets to see you

over the many days of her training shenhe has began feeling these mixed flurry of emotions; a blizzard of ambiguity that she couldn’t quite decipher. an aching sting in her heart has punctured not only her whole chest but also her focus and concentration — which had deeply yet discreetly worried the wise adeptus inspecting her progress.

“one believes you are due for rest, there is a concerning pandemonium brewing in your heart and soul. perhaps, seeking the comfort of your loved one will mend your aching?” cloud retainer spoke with poise as she looked down to the white-haired exorcist who fiddled with her earring at the very subtle mention of you.

————— ୨୧

you two have been sitting in pure silence for some time now, it wasn’t awkward but rather peaceful; yet despite fulfilling her urgency to be somewhat close to you, her heart wasn’t satisfied with your lack of attention. every flip of the book page had shenhe pondering like a clock ticking back and forth, “do i indulge in my desires or do i stay put and admire them.”

“hey, [name], can i.. can you..” she says and you look over at her with a gentle smile, reaching over to squeeze her hand. “sorry, i’m not sure how to word this properly.” she looks away.

“it’s alright, take your time.” you comforted her with another light squeeze of her hand. she had this concentrated and perplexed look on her face. you tilt your head with concern.

“lately,” her eyes trail back up to you, “i’ve felt this strange hollowness in my chest whenever i think about you.” her voice was so gentle it was basically a whisper.

you nod silently at her as encouragement to continue. “i don’t know what it is exactly about you but i just feel this sort of ache… a longingness.” you felt her fingers grip your hand tighter as she searched for something to say, “the way we are together, you know. all those little things make me smile everyday.” she looked deep in thought.

you smile to yourself and let out a small and harmless laugh, shenhe looks at you in confusion, ‘did she say something funny?’ “oh my darling,” you cup her face in your hands with a kiss on the tip of her nose, “i’m pretty sure you were just feeling lonely.” her eyes light up almost as if it all suddenly clicked inside her disorganised head; the answer becoming vividly evident.

“oh..i suppose that’s the case. then, would you mind-“ you comfort her with a polite chaste kiss, allowing her to pull you in closer with a needy fervour; all of her old feelings resurfacing as a wanting passion. pulling away shenhe smiles, “you’re so good to me, [name].”

TARTAGLIA — 公子

— pretends to not care; lasts a couple minutes at most. he really hates to admit it sometimes but you’ve got him absolutely wrapped around your finger

— after he gets what he wants / needs , he returns to his pathetically (affectionate) clingy self - expect he’s even worse

“ehem.” tartaglia coughs into his hand while directly maintaining fierce eye contact with you. i say “with you” because he believes that you are subtly looking at him in the corner of your eye and not completely ignoring his futile attempts at garnering your attention.

you don’t understand his sudden shift in behaviour though; earlier he seemed completely unbothered by your lack of attention and now he’s being persistently annoying for you to spare him a single glance. perhaps he got bored of waiting for you to seek him out instead of vice versa.

“it’s not nice to keep your husband waiting.” he huffs and leans back with a light pout. is he being serious…

“you’re still not saying what you want, quit complaining pumpkin.” you gave him a menacing smile, one which ajax never appreciated no matter how much he loved your smiles regardless of the situation. he alas gave in and cuddled into you with a sneaky hand on your waist to pull you in, “isn’t it obvious? i want you, don’t tease me.”

“you’re such a moron.” and yet you still lay his head on your chest to reach out to massage his scalp. “an irresistible moron who’s greedy for your affection.” the way such few charming words could make your heart clench and a genuine smile spread across your gorgeous face was embarrassing. you laugh gently and swish his fringe away to peck his forehead.

he stayed silent for a couple minutes, not once beginning to complain about how long it took for you to respond to his “flirting”, all he did was sigh blissfully and lean into your touch.

ajax looks up at you with an expressionless face but you caught the glint in his eyes that spoke volumes of his joy. there were plenty of moments where you would see the happiness on his face and in his bright blue eyes; you couldn’t help but feel proud that you were a part of it. he closed in on your lips, kissing you softly with a love struck smile.

SCARAMOUCHE — 斯卡拉姆齐

— you’d think with how much lil auntie kusanali has been coaching him on being not only a good person or friend, but a good lover too he’d have learnt how to express that he craves your touch

— he can get a bit volatile and mean when he doesn’t understand something especially if it’s a “human” thing like emotions. he doesn’t mean to hurt you in any way, but healing and growing takes a lot of time.

in your honest defense, how were you meant to know that he wanted even an ounce of your attention with that permanent scowl he wore the entire day? all of his “hints” were just him being a little too harsh or him actually stating what he wants, but downplaying it to act like you’re silly for thinking he’d want your love and affection (he does) when you asked him about it.

so now here you both were; you doing some never-ending paperwork and kuni glaring daggers to the back of your aching head. tired of his attitude, you drop your pen to gaze back at him, prompting him to cross his arms and scowl at you once again. “kuni.” your voice was firm but he still managed to decipher that small and subtle tinge of confused hurt in your tone. he raised an eyebrow.

“did i do something wrong? why are you so angry at me?” he looks at you utterly perplexed as if you were the one that was being nonsensical. he rolls his eyes, not with sarcasm but rather embarrassment at the words he was thinking of uttering to comfort you. “i..” a quick pause ensues, “ i just wanted your attention.”

“oh..” you let out a quiet laugh, “i honestly thought you were just angry at me.” he once again looks at you confused, almost hurt, at your assumption, “at you? never.” you smile. you knew it wasn’t easy for him to admit his feelings so nonchalantly, so hey, he’s making subtle progress.

to your delighted surprise, he opens his arms to usher you into a hug, of course you oblige.

he nuzzles into your neck, breathing in your floral scent to calm himself, you feel his arms tightening their hold on your waist before whispering into your ear, “i love you.”

“what was that?” you tease him with a poke to his cheek.

“mm nothing..” his voice muffled against your clothes.

you glare at him playfully, “kuni..” he laughs before pushing himself off of you gently. “i said i love you, there, you happy?”

with a warm smile, one he wished he could forever imprint into his head, you reply with a nod.

S. KOKOMI — 珊瑚宫心海

— she. is. tired. yet at the same time aggrieved. it irks her gentle heart when she misses your warm embrace, but her mind is either too drowsy or too overwhelmed to indulge you

— she doesn’t ever want to bother you for personal reasons, but she does also secretly hope that you’ll seek her out yourself so that time doesn’t have to heal her irreparable aching

there is rarely a day where this woman doesn’t miss you and your affection. with being such a significant and vital figure within both the army and watatsumi island in general, the divine priestess is constantly busy and while she doesn’t shy away from asking you for attention, sometimes, when she’s overstimulated from duties, she’s unsure if she craves solitude or your love.

today was one of those days of irritation. kokomi’s head was drowsy and absolutely aching, every word from nearby people were drowned out by her shallow breathing. so entranced in stressed out thoughts she didn’t even realise she had finally made it to her little safe cavern.

here, she was at utmost peace with undisturbed sleep for the first time in a few weeks. kokomi had barely slumped down onto her chair in exhaustion before a familiar silhouette captured her weary eyes; your silhouette. just the person i needed.

“hey koko-“ you paused in your step at the saddening view of your lover hanging her head low, deep circles under her eyes burning in colour. “i’ll let you rest, sorry love.” a warm smile stretched across your face in pity.

“no.. it’s alright, i promise you. i’d actually prefer it if you stayed with me, if thats alright with you..?” her voice trailed off due to her drowsy mind. you sigh and go over to her, sitting yourself on top of her desk to play with her hair. your gentle touch lulled her into sleep instantly it was practically magic.

“koko, you are so unpredictable sometimes..”

she hums at you in her sleep, cuddling close to your hand in hopes you’d get the hint to continue. how could you say no?

K. AYATO — 神里绫人

— NUISANCE. will NOT leave you alone at all. why? simply because he feels he has the right to “seek your attention when he’s lonely” and though you can’t argue, he truly does pick and choose when that statement is valid

— if he’s busy you likely won’t catch him in time for even the shortest hug - but if YOU’RE busy, it’s like the stars aligned specifically to allow him to pester you

“[name]..” thoma solemnly hands you the possibly 50th letter of that HOUR with a sympathetic smile.

“thank you, thoma.” you sigh, preparing yourself for the lovely bullshit your husband had written in ink.

« dear my beloved spouse,

your warm but transient touch lingers on my skin, how i miss you; so far away yet so close at the same time, you’re in my thoughts constantly.

— your loving lonely husband ayato »

for barely a couple hours ayato had been preoccupied with his work and as were you with your own; in the SAME damn house. you didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his theatrical dramatics so you opted for hanging your head low and inwardly despairing the work you’re about to leave behind to simply visit your needy lover.

————— ୨୧

you knock respectfully on his door a few times despite ayato always reminding you that such manners shouldn’t be necessary for a married couple; you could just simply never let go of the habit however. you hear your husband quietly reply with a, “come in.”

stepping into the room you automatically get hit with a sweet fragrance which was permitting from some snacks on ayato’s table. for a few seconds you idle by awkwardly as ayato decided to stay quiet. why send pointless and hyperbolic letters when you’re barely a feet away from each-other to then NOT say anything when you finally give in to his romantic pleas …

alas ayato drops his brush and glances at you, “is there anything you need, love?” you could practically feel a vein pop on your forehead, ruining the serenity of the scene. he laughs at your displeased expression before staring at you with a charming smile, “now now, i’m only kidding. mind joining me for this evening, my dearest? i’ve missed you.”

“i swear, you are so melodramatic when needy.” he hums, not really listening to your words, feeling content with your presence at last besides him.

“i swear, you are so melodramatic when needy.” he hums, not really listening to your words, feeling content with your presence at last besides him.

[angellthedeactivated-deactivate]

I was wondering what Genshin men would be like as lovers? Romantic, caring, soft, cold, etc.

Oh that sounds really fun actually! I like this concept.

Pairing: Kaeya, Diluc, Itto, Thoma, Childe, Dottore, Pantalone, Al-Haitham, Zhongli x Fem!Reader

Tags: fluff, established relationship, cuddles, teasing, flirting, kissing

A/N: Not making this one dirty, just pure fluff. You'll get sexy goodness tomorrow I promise.

Kaeya is a caring lover. He might sometimes be a big flirt and love to tease you a lot but he cares about your comfort and well being a lot. Even if he has a mission to go to he will spend a few extra minutes with you, just wrapped up in each others embrace and giving you soft kisses before he has to go.

Diluc is a soft lover, extremely so. He may be a little more intense when it comes to his feelings of justice but he always treats you with great care. Just the way he looks at you every morning and night before bed makes your heart flutter and makes him smile and strive to do better day after day.

Itto is a mischievous lover, he always plans something that makes you laugh or gets you flustered. He loves kissing you from head to toe after you wake up and feeling you shiver under his large body. Sometimes it escalates to more but honestly he really likes seeing you get a little worked up over the things he does to you.

Thoma is romantic as anything. He's got every important date memorized, he's got all your favorite date spots, your favorite food, all memorized in order to always be able to sweep you off your feet. And when that's not enough he will literally sweep you off your feet and carry you to bed.

Childe is very passionate both as a lover and as a fighter. Sometimes it's hard to tell which he's more passionate about. He's never got a shortage of kisses and teasing words ready for you, no matter what time of day it is or where you happen to be. And if anyone sees how passionate he is about you, good, it means they know they can't have you.

Dottore is a little cruel as a lover. He's cruel in a different way then he is to others. With them he enjoys making them suffer, with you he enjoys subjugating you to his every lust and whim and making you enjoy it. He will mold you into his perfect little pet, his perfect girlfriend, and he knows just what methods to use to get you to behave.

Pantalone can be a little unavailable sometimes. Not in a sense that he doesn't love you but rather he forgets to show it, or is too tired to when he gets home. You knew he'd be busy, he was busy before too but at the same time he tries to make up for it whenever he can, even just making time for the two of you to have a meal together can go a long way.

Al-Haitham can come off as cold a lot of the time. He does care about you but he's never had many relationships like this so he doesn't know how to show it properly without coming off as too needy or too overbearing so he will often hold back a little too much. It takes him a while to find the right balance.

Zhongli is very giving as a lover. He is touch starved to a degree but for him touching you and making you smile, providing you with all the love you could possibly need is his number one goal in your relationship. He will remember this, remember you, for many, many years so he always wants to be able to give you an amazing experience.

SFW VALENTINES DAY HEADCANONS ୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅♡ !

⋆⑅˚₊ including diluc, thoma, kazuha, childe x gn! reader !! — ‧₊˚ ⋅ genre — ‧₊˚✧ fluff, crack, so so soft and sweet, lots of love, cuddling, kissing and all that sweet stuff ♡ ˚ ⋅ event mlist.

⋆⑅˚₊ — DILUC

to the casual eye, diluc gave the impression away to be through and through engrossed and unhurried on his preparations for valentines day to come— it's as if he had a bullet proof plan which he wanted to pursue.

over and above that, he had a habit of wanting to be the host of your celebrations, though you were cordially trying to contribute to the preparations, he had assured you that there wasn't a better way to show you how hopelessly he fell in love with you.

while, well, once you look past the facade he had built in order to fool you, in reality he has been awfully jittery as to what to do, you see, in his own opinion he wasn't the most comical person to be around with, diluc was still unsure on how he garnered you as his significant other in the first place.

sometimes he couldn't understand what made him so special.

you on the other hand did not see him as such, you didn't expect him to change as a person and never wanted him to, ever. your diluc, the man you fell in love with, was a little more reserved— aloof and tends to keep his real emotions hidden to himself and only shares such with people he deemed close to him.

valentines day for you is to be both present and transparent, though he consistently jubilated it with a grand evening fronted to your relationship and to center on what you managed to built over the last year, by the same token it's about being here, together, lastingly in love with each other.

on this fine evening, diluc would host a candle light dinner at his own big mansion, only the best of the best would be bestowed to the table and brought to view towards your person.

in the thick shadows of good beverages (no alcohol, you didn't mind since diluc himself wasn't a big fan of it) and a benevolent composition of close selected music, you had dined away matted by a closed vicinity.

though by the end of it, once the main course was over, you had chosen to take a walk around the imposing mansion, within the confines of the candied scent of afresh ripened grapes, the frigit air winging through your clothes with his large hand snugly situated on top of your lower back.

in his feeling of judgment, you were marvelous— stunning under the forthcoming moon and so very kind, he couldn't wait to spend more of his years with you by his side.

and when diluc turns towards your frame to look at you, you daintily rend him by his belt to have him nigh— he wasn't one to initiate seclusion first and you do not need him to do it, all the greater did you not mind to kiss him yourself, which you then, did.

his calm— yet stepwise inflating breathing, was vaguely lingering around your soft lips as he pulled away, complemented by a possess of his nervous puffs, he's signifying out his words more gently to you when he speaks with a humane red tint on his cheeks.

"happy valentines day, love." and when you smile, he‘s smiling too, because diluc was happy, he didn‘t need more when he had you, "and to many more valentines days to come."

⋆⑅˚₊ — THOMA

in response to thoma, he in all instances, made it a habit of alternating things up each year, effectively, he sought after making it to be as fun and appealing as achievable.

unmistakably for this year you had agreed to participate in gifting each other a present from heart, no expensive jewelry, no exorbitant dinners, no glamorous travels— with this you wanted to show your love in a more personal way. ( .. and your budget was limited)

on the topic of his idea, thoma had actively pondered and mulled about your joyous present for undeviating weeks. on a mini sheet he had written down all the urgent utensils he'd require with the intension of endowing you the most immaculate gift within the bounds of possibility.

first and foremost, he was in countless vital— no pivotal, life changing, conversations with both ayato and ayaka, to that, repeatedly, week in week out. Unmistakably, thoma was aware that he knew you the absolute most, but in spite of that it's unfailingly smart to set aside more ideas.

... well lets say ayato's were, within limits but concerning, yet ayaka genuinely assisted and supported him as much as she could.

when he finished all that, thoma started preparing the gift, the most important part.

initially, he attentively cut out an assortment of little paper sheets where he planned to keenly scribble down all the things he loved about you— doesn't matter what it was and how seemingly gratuitous it was, he put it down.

thoma's eyes were deeply fixed with a bright, earnest tone and on top of that, he now couldn't stop thinking about you, archons, despite the fact it had dreadfully deflected his attention away.

but just a little— a puny treacly thought about how you'd look at him once he's giving you the present, would you like it?

his thought process behind it was cute; given that he has been engrossed with his work at the kamisato estate for the most part, he imagined that if you were to miss him, you could always open one of the little papers and feel at least, a little bit closer to him.

he worked on it all night and by the end of it his hands were deeply hurting and tense from the— take paper, write something down, fold paper, put it in the jar.

speaking of the jar in question, because you had agreed upon spending as little mora as possible, he used an empty pot which had previously jam in it (he personally thought it's a fun little detail) and adequately cleaned it up, silently removed the cover and replaced it with a small cloth— that had a silvery red string securely embedded around it.

eventually, when valentines day idly neared its designated date, the finalized present had been given to you. With a quizzical utterance you peered at the little jar in your palms— honestly all clueless about it, but then you paid attention to thoma, thrillingly swaying in his footing from left to right, he was undoubtedly enlivened and couldn't wait for you to open it, beaming with forged anticipation.

together you were sitting on the cushy couch when you earnestly slipped the silver red string down, looking into the jar, you spoke to him when a hurried realization hit you, "isn't that jar from our kitchen?" he impatiently nods in agreement, unduly proud.

thoma was rather cute, so considerably sweet to you, you couldn't wait to spend more time with him in the future.

when you gaped into the jar, you got greeted by the engaging stickers, listlessly you progressed to take one in between your finger pads, rolling it open in front of him.

your attention was drawn towards the first out of many, 'i love you because ...' and you offered thoma a little embarrassed smile, you were glowing at the compliment, truly, your chest was bubbling with excitement as you fell into his arms, gently kissing his cheeks, once twice, before telling him just how happy he made you.

⋆⑅˚₊ — KAZUHA

what does someone do if they had immediate access to an entire ship, with a teeming fleet, geared up to be operated for their own disposal? evidently, they will use it.

as a result, kazuha had queried (and begged) for captain beidou's approval and to be of help in his personal valentines day plan for this year.

taking into account that he has been into copious amount of places beforehand, it was only natural that this time, kazuha longed to take you with him and enjoy the upcoming special day together in another nation.

while inazuma had its own assets and perquisites, kazuha had ultimately decided to chose mondstadt as your designated nation to be.

you were unquestionably delighted by the idea the second he had presented it in front of you, additionally beidou spoke her blessing to your trip and aided to your enthralling expedition as much as she possibly was able to.

the traveling on its own had been a little strenuous, those two striking nations weren't as close as you thought they were, as one would expect time was passing leisurely when you had arrived after a considerable amount of your spendings on sea.

now, well, there you were— sweetly greeted by the aroma of dandelion wine, the honeyed scent of sweets and candy with the incalculable amount of music reverberating within the broad walls of mondstadt.

while there were many absorbing shops and compelling places to explore— which you had promised each other to do after valentines day, instead you settled to visit starsnatch cliff, undeniably was it one of the most beguiling, fetching spots a myriad of pairs would find themselves in.

while most couples headed home after night fell— along with how cold it had gotten on top of the cliff, kazuha and you weren't going anywhere, not when you journeyed for such a long time.

to speak on how absorbed you were in each others intimate squeeze and how— almost cruelly, slow his lips moved on you when he decided to kiss you, had been all the more impassioned than you imaged it to be.

indisputably it had been frigit in mondstadt, said fact wasn't to be denied, but kazuha's snuggly body abstained from said irksome result.

you had been holding in your breath by how euphoric everything had become and noticed how kazuha's face was greatly dazzling in complete joy and exuberance, time was passing unusually on this night, almost magic like, but that wasn't a bad thing, it's as if the whole universe had aided you in your day.

⋆⑅˚₊ — CHILDE

in a general sense, one might come to the acute conclusion that someone as illustrious as childe himself would spend a grand chunk of mora on his valentines date with you.

in many cases, this can be the truth, however, this year was a little different from any other before.

you see, childe and you had been greatly tied up in work and as his own occupation was a serious one at that, you weren't able to visit him in another nation either way, so for some months you were not even seeing each other entirely— which was visibly frustrating in its own volition.

to say you both have missed each other tremendously has to be a boundless understatement because childe wasn't certain about how on earth he should continue on his day to day life without having you tightly wrapped in his arms at least once, perhaps twice.

in the first instances, childe wasn't sure if he should even voice the idea of, quote on quote, 'skipping' valentines day and persisting at home, maybe you were awaiting more of him and the last thing ajax wished to achieve was to lower any expectations you set for his person.

but then, in a trice, you immediately obliged and told him that it was alright with you, no questions asked, that you understood what he meant and to speak truthfully, tardily spending the day at home should be as much fun as strolling around the freezing town, if not more.

then, while a measureless amount of pairs were going out on well sought out dates and shouldered the intense cold of snezhnaya, you and childe conclusively stayed in, favoring your assemblage without hurrying.

strawberries with a shade of brilliant red were enclosed in chocolate, resting on the drawer next to your bed where you were settled in.

the subtleness of his touches on your back bristled deep into you— while also showing the slight lack of responses and heightened tiredness in your frame. And yet, you didn‘t want it any other way, after some time you realized that it must‘ve been a long time ago since you were capable to speak so carelessly without shouldering any responsibilities.

"i wish we could do this every day." childe hums and pitches his head a little to your side so he could fix his pretty eyes on you, "but then it wouldn‘t be so special." you pointed out with your response being a clear one, your cheeks were fizzed with warmth and settled in a flustering manner.

childe cherished to see you this way— so relaxed and close to him, fuck he missed you so much it almost pained him, no words could describe how much he loved you this moment, that whenever you talked, a feeling of dizzying blessedness would crane his unified frame of mind.

yay new multipart post! ^-^ big thanks to ppl in the yaepublishinghouse server for help w picking some of the characters i added in ily guys <3

Diluc probably wouldn’t end up going to bed at the same time as you. He’s got a lot to do under cover of darkness and it means he’s out until the morning on most nights. 

But that certainly doesn’t stop him from spending time with you every single evening.

He’ll sit in bed with you and let you cuddle up to him to fall asleep if you need it, very carefully moving you once you are out and pressing a tender kiss to your forehead as his palm lingers against your cheek. Glances are stolen to your peaceful form in his silken sheets all the way to the door, but he will not spare the time to watch you in the doorframe- because if he stays there too long he will succumb to the temptation to join you beneath the sheets and hold you close until sunrise. 

And when he is back, tired from the night’s exertion and slowly opening the door to try not to wake you, your bleary blinking eyes greet him and your open arms beckon him home. 

Zhongli has a fresh pot of herbal tea brewed for the pair of you approximately an hour before you plan to head to sleep for the night, no matter when it is. He will fall and rise with you, lulled into your sweet domesticity. 

When you are winding down, he will read with you. Your back pressed up against his chest, his head resting gently atop yours. Sometimes you’ll read the same book together, Zhongli’s soothing voice reverberating against your back and enticing you to fall asleep far faster than usual. Often, you’re both reading your own books, taking pauses every so often to stop and discuss particularly interesting passages. Regardless, it is always done together. 

Even if you don’t end up going to sleep at similar times, your cooldown routine for the day is always done together. It is a simple intimacy that keeps your relationship warm and bright, renewed and fresh; years down the line still feeling like those first few weeks of newfound love. 

It means that, regardless of where each day takes you, there is always something to return to as the dusk claims dominion over the skies. Always someone to come home to, to spend time with, to remind one another that you are loved and respected and cared for. And it is something that neither of you would change for the world. 

Whether you were already invested in a skincare routine before dating Kaveh or not, you have no choice but to be once you’re living with him. He has an extensive several-step cycle in place for the both of you and he is so attentive whilst you sit there together side by side, applying various creams and lotions for the night. 

Often, he’ll insist the pair of you bathe together at night as well, just so that he has an excuse to have you in his lap for a while and to pamper you as he washes your hair and gently scrubs your back with whichever new soaps he has bought for you (read: bullied Alhaitham into paying for). He likes the feeling of you pressed up against him like this, being able to steal cheeky kisses as you relax together, the perfect distraction from whatever has troubled him during the day.  

Kaveh always settles into bed at the same time as you, but he will wander in the night if he finds himself unable to sleep. Usually to go work on whichever project is eating away at the back of his mind at the time, and you can always find him hunched over his desk or frantically pacing the living room if you get up for a drink. (Please encourage him to come back to bed with you, he needs it even if he doesn’t realise it because he’s been working himself into a hole for the past three hours.)

Alhaitham does not share a nighttime routine with you. He’d rather sit and read on his own in his study, or the living room, until he is tired enough to go to sleep. (And sometimes you will go to sleep without him, because he has already fallen asleep on the sofa with his book splayed open across his face.) 

And yet, when he finally does join you in bed for the night, he treats it as though your absence from his side was such a terrible grievance. Downright clingy in the way that he pulls you into his arms, nestles his head in the crook of your shoulder and cradles you close to him, he mumbles something about you always going to bed so early. “I wouldn’t have to do this if you just stayed up later like a normal person.” 

When you tease him for his behaviour- “the grand Scribe Alhaitham acting like a lost puppy is certainly amusing,” you say with a lilt- he huffs. Draws you ever closer still and shakes his head. 

It’s not that he’s missed you, he insists, you’re too insufferable to miss. But seeing as you’re already there in bed with him he might as well take full advantage of your company by having you close like this. At least, that’s the excuse he gives you to hide the fact that he has craved your attention in the mere hours you have been apart. In fact, he has been so desperate to return to your side that he abandoned his book mere chapters before the denouement just so he can crawl into bed to be by your side. 

And you know this. And he knows that you know this. But your little banterous game is too amusing to ever let end, not to mention the fact that Alhaitham would never live it down if he suddenly caved now. 

Your nighttime routine with Kaeya is going to vary incredibly depending on whether you join him on his trips to the tavern or not. Or, at least, the timing of it definitely will. 

If you do join him, expect a very quick nighttime routine once you’re finally home. Usually just about getting into bed together before you’re both passing out for the night immediately, a tangle of limbs as you collapse into one another in some strange position that certainly isn’t comfortable for either of you. (But it’s worth it, because you’re together, which is all that matters. And when you wake up with aching muscles and a pounding headache it is worth it when Kaeya takes extra care to look after you the next morning.)

On the nights he goes to the tavern alone, you will wake to him joining you in the early hours of the morning. More often than not a little more inebriated than when you’re there with him, a little clingier and a little more vulnerable. You’ll have sweet nothings whispered to you, slurred but oh so genuine, and soft declarations that he will never ever leave your side. 

The nights where neither of you go to the tavern are the best, of course. Because Kaeya takes his sweet time to look after you properly, the way you deserve. If you employ a skincare routine, he insists that he is the one to do it for you, so gentle and tender with you as he rubs product into your skin. (Not without stealing a million and one kisses as he goes, because that was truly his master plan all along.)

He does all he can for you, because you do so much for him, all so that you are falling asleep in such a comfortably relaxed state that you barely want to get up the next morning.

Albedo is not the type to go to bed. Like, he literally just won’t sleep if he’s busy, no matter what. So, he won’t bother with any sort of routine to wind down for the night unless you explicitly entice him into it. 

Slowly draw him away from his experiments, take hold of his hands and walk him to your bedroom, to the sofa, to wherever the nearest sleeping surface currently is depending on where you’re staying at the time. Thread your fingers through his hair as you pick apart his braids, careful to collect any loose hairties and pins together so that none of them go missing. He will melt under your touch, eyes falling shut in comforted bliss, and you could damn near get him to fall asleep then and there. 

But it is after he is ready for bed that the highlight of the routine comes, the way that you draw him into your embrace and hold him with such care and attentiveness that he finally unwinds from all of the pent-up anticipation that heavy research tolls upon his body. A sense of genuine relaxation, of peace that is only found within your hold, that is so addictive he may need to stay up late at night more often on purpose. Just so that he can have you look after him like this again. 

Dainsleif does actually go to bed whenever you do, but he’s a little useless when it comes to self-care. 

As part of your night-time routine, you sit him down and carefully pin his bangs back out of his eyes so that you can wash his face for him. With his head cradled in your palms, he looks wholly akin to a cat like this- cheeks puffed out as he insists he can do this himself, and yet sighing in content as your fingers slowly massage his temples. 

Dain is a very tactile partner, needing his hands on you whenever he can, so he has you sat in his lap whilst you do this. This is, of course, so that he can take advantage of wrapping his hands around your waist whilst yours applies cleanser to his forehead and cheeks. He will also take the chance to sneak a kiss to the tip of your nose as you work, smearing product over your own in turn. 

Despite the messiness of the evening, you will both go to bed clean and moisturised, though not without taking a solid detour to make out in between steps- and then again once you’re done.

𝐚𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦 𝐱 𝐟𝐞𝐦!𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫

once upon a time, you wished for alhaitham to love you back just as much as you loved him. that was years ago though; now as the acting grand scribe for the acting grand sage, you both were widely known for the hate you have for each other.

𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐬 love hate, unrequited love (or is it), angst, implied insecurity about physical appearance, slight nsfw, inspired from the fountain scene in atonement by ian mcewan. i suggest you watch you the video first so you can imagine how the scene would look like!

𝐰𝐜 2.5k

he finally found you.

the swaying grass crunched under the soles of his boots as he slowly and menacingly walked towards you with your back facing him, not aware of what was about to come. he was getting nearer now, and yet you still didn't turn around; it was either because you didn't hear him at all or because you didn't care about his presence. knowing you, the latter sounded more reasonable.

you were sitting on the grass, right beside the crystal clear waterfalls of chinvat ravine, legs crossed and hair tied to keep the strands from blocking your view, but the wind didn't spare you from its wrath. your locks swayed gently along with the breeze, flying and curling like the roots of the divine tree holding up the sanctuary of surasthana, exposing your bare neck to him. even with your long sleeved dress, you bathed in the golden sumeru sunlight, not caring about the heat at all.

though you weren't looking at him at all, alhaitham's heart stubbornly skipped a beat, its pace picking up the longer he stared at you. you looked so peaceful sitting in silence that he almost turned away and let you be in your own quiet world. or maybe he would just sit beside you if you'd allow him to, then the two of you would listen to the singing of the dusk birds together, along with the calming sound of the running water from the waterfalls.

in another time, he would like to spend his mornings, afternoons, and nights with you; but right now, as the acting grand sage of the akademiya, work was priority.

and so, despite not wanting it, alhaitham broke the silence. "if I may ask, what is the acting grand scribe doing here?"

he saw your body tense up, shoulders raising slightly. it took you a whole minute before you decided to glance at him over your shoulder. as he expected, your usually gentle eyes were already narrowed, ready to bite at him. your plump lips were pursed in annoyance, and it took every bit of his sanity to not lean in and swipe his thumb over it. your cheeks were already starting to turn into a shade of red that reminded him of zaytun peaches. it was probably because of anger, or irritation. or both.

beautiful, he thought.

"acting grand sage alhaitham." you greeted him calmly, as opposed to the emotions you had on display. "i can ask you the same question."

alhaitham crossed his arms and stared down blankly at you. "i have some files i need you to arrange, and they should be at my desk tomorrow morning."

without breaking off the eye contact, you blinked twice as if you were contemplating on what to say. then you shrugged, appearing not to care at all. "alright."

he couldn't help but to think that the old you wouldn't act this way. years ago, you would've nod slowly with a soft smile gracing your lips, a smile that was reserved just for him, and a pale pink hue would settle on top of your skin because you were too flustered to even speak a word to him.

but times have changed now. he should not be thinking about the past, for it will only hinder his progress in the present. but how could he not, when the only person he could blame for the reason for your change was himself?

alhaitham tried to hide his growing impatience, both for your stubbornness and your attitude towards him. he frowned and pressed on, "it seemed like you didn't understand. i am asking you to return to your office in the akademiya."

"you already wasted my time by searching for you. i spent a precious hour just walking around the city asking people if they somehow saw you when i could've spent that hour finishing the rest of my work. even katayoun didn't know where you are, so i had to find you myself." he continued, voice sounding more cross in each sentence.

you sighed, not affected by his rants. fully turning around, he saw a writing quill tucked in your ear and some papers stacked on your lap. you took one of the papers and showed it to him. "i'm checking some of the students' research proposals before i can submit them to you for approval."

"and you couldn't do that in your office?"

"unlike some of us, i can't concentrate on my work when i am locked up in an enclosed space." you quickly bit back, glaring at him. "working here is much better. i can breathe in some fresh air and watch the dusk birds if i'm feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending paperwork."

alhaitham thought of what you said and almost agreed with you. from where he was standing, he could see the bright blue sky, and not to mention, the entire view of the city.

but his pride didn't allow him to back down, just like always. he can tolerate you being mad at him and hating him with all your heart, but he can't stand it when you ignore him.

so he added fuel to the fire and lectured you, "while you're at it, do you have more complaints? don't hesitate to inform me if you lack materials or things that you will need. you have a high position in the akademiya now, so it is important for you to have your work done in a proper manner."

you rolled your eyes. "office rooms make me nauseous." you said straightforwardly.

that made him scrunch his eyebrows in both confusion and concern. "nauseous?"

"there's no windows." you grumbled under your breath. alhaitham inhaled sharply, finally understanding the situation. he made a mental note to speak with some of the matra later and make a request to transfer you to a new room. maybe even use some of his sage funds to buy new decorations just for you, so you wouldn't feel lonely and cramped inside your office.

while he was thinking, he noticed that you turned around once again, continuing to check the papers on your own. he watched you write, quick but your handwriting remained neat and pleasing to look at. this was one of the reasons why he chose you to become the scribe.

he wasn't satisfied with just watching you. alhaitham got closer and bent down with one knee. striking up a conversation again, he began, "let me see what you're working on."

you flinched at the sudden close proximity. he noticed it, and he tried to stop himself from smirking.

your grip on your quill tightened. with gritted teeth, you told him, "i'm not yet finished. please be patient."

alhaitham peered at you innocently, making you glower even more at his unaffected state. "i just want to check if you're doing it correctly." he simply said.

"i told you it's not yet finished. and what do you mean by correctly? i can manage just fine on my own!" you defended, now starting to raise your voice. while you were distracted, he took the opportunity to take the paper you were writing on.

you yelped and protested, "hey! stop!"

he lifted up his arm so you wouldn't be able to reach it, looking down on you with a strange glint in his beautiful turquoise eyes. seething in anger, you slightly sat up and pressed a hand on his chest in a rough manner to hoist yourself up without losing balance. you tried to ignore the feeling of his defined muscles against your palm as you tried to snatch the paper from him.

alhaitham froze. for a moment, he thought he forgot how to breathe because of how close you were to him. he could see the flecks of light in your eyes, the number of your thick eyelashes, and the many imperfections on the surface of your skin, yet they looked soft to the touch. and your lips, your heavenly lips, were only inches away from his own. the way they were slightly parted made him think of how they would feel.

he lost all focus that the paper he was holding slipped away from his fingers. your jaw dropped in horror, gaze following the paper in the air as it slowly flew towards the river. you got off alhaitham and tried to chase after it, but you were unfortunately too late. the paper had already met the surface of the water, liquid seeping on its thin composition.

you looked at him in disbelief. "what have you done?"

alhaitham sighed, waving a hand. "don't fret too much. just take the printed copy and submit it to me." he said.

"i didn't print one." you quietly replied.

he turned to you and stared at you like you've grown two heads. "what?"

in a louder voice, you explained impatiently, "that's the original paper. i haven't printed a copy yet."

hearing your words, alhaitham felt a huge headache. it was a grave mistake not to keep a copy of the akademiya's files.

"this is why I told you to always duplicate important files immediately after you receive them from the students in case they are stolen, destroyed, or lost." he spoke carefully, trying to avoid getting frustrated. "these are their research papers, and i'm sure that as a former akademiya student, you know how much value those papers hold."

your hands formed into fists. "do not talk to me like that!" you weakly shouted.

one of his eyebrows raised in question. "like what? like an acting grand sage pointing out their scribe's mistake?"

to his surprise, you started tearing up. bright red then blossomed on your cheeks, signalling the chaos that was about to reach its boiling point.

"like a pompous ass who forced me to become the scribe!" you yelled, and the shrillness of your voice hurt his ears, but he continued listening anyway. "if you're so clever and oh so better than me, then why didn't you just be the grand sage and scribe at the same time? you just have to drag me into your shit so you could embarrass me in front of the mahamata!"

"to embarrass you is far from my—"

you pointed a finger at him in a threatening way, your eyes shooting daggers as sharp enough to kill him. "speak another word and i'll kick you so hard in your groin that your children wouldn't be able to have the same genes as you."

flabbergasted, alhaitham didn't dare utter another word. but when you started to unbutton your dress, he let out a sarcastic huff.

"the water is not safe." he said, trying to prevent you from wading through the fungi infested river. you ignored him and continued to undress.

you were about to pull down the upper part of your dress when you glanced at him, mouth open as if you were going to say something. he held your gaze, waiting for your retort. however, nothing came, and you only scowled at him while you finally slipped out of your dress, the clothing falling down to your feet.

he knew it was improper to stare. he wanted to look away, to give you respect and privacy and also because it was the right thing to do, but he can't he can't he can't—

the lacy camisole you were wearing underneath the dress clung tight to your body. your bra straps were visible, and because the camisole's length can only reach the middle of your exposed thighs, he can almost see your underwear. you were half naked right in front of him, but you didn't seem to care. why didn't you care?

ah, alhaitham thought, realization dawning upon him as you carefully walked towards the river and tested the temperature of the water first before taking a dive. you became nothing but a colorful blur under the aquamarine waters.

it was quiet for a moment. everything was quiet, until a distant memory flashed in his mind.

"you don't pass my aesthetic preferences and ideals for a partner. i consider both character and appearance when it comes to choosing a significant other, should that day ever come." he explained quickly, trying to get out of this awkward situation. more students were gathering around them, and that was the thing he despised the most: attention.

it became even worse when your lower lip started to tremble. just how pathetic can you be? confessing your feelings in the middle of a public place, the feelings that grew within you just by working on a single project together. you brought this to yourself. this was all your fault to begin with.

"are you saying i'm ugly?" you whispered, shaky voice sounding upset.

his gaze on you remained impassive."i wouldn't use that term. that's too harsh, don't you think? i'd say...you're just not physically attractive, that's all.

"i'm not planning to consider you as my partner in a romantic relationship, today and in the near future. so i advise you to stay away from me to save yourself from the humiliation. have a nice day."

a loud splash interrupted his thoughts.

when you emerged from the water, your hands were clutching the soggy piece of paper, grip gentle as to not rip it off. damp pieces of hair framed your face, and the camisole, now transparent, hugged your wet form. he could see the swell of your breasts, your pert nipples slightly peeking, along with the endearing curve of your waist. your jaw was clenched, due to the cold or your hostility towards him; he doesn't know.

heat went straight to his groin. alhaitham swallowed a lump in his throat and clenched his fist. you walked past him, not meeting his eye, and picked up your dress from the ground. you dressed hastily, your wet strands drenching your clothing in the process.

after you buttoned up, you turned your head sideways, finally acknowledging his presence but not making eye contact.

"i never wanted to be the acting grand scribe." you said, voice calm once again. "still, i apologize. i, who does not have a single clue about being a scribe because i'm only a librarian, apologize for not knowing what this job entails. but for just one day, can you please stop reminding me that i'm not as intelligent as you?"

he stayed quiet.

"have a nice day, acting grand sage." were your last words before you left him there standing dumbly on the grass. he can only watch as you walked away from him, hair swaying across your shoulders with each step you take. when you disappeared from his sight, he looked back at the water, the roiling surface yet to recover from its tranquillity, almost like you left some of your fury in it. alhaitham placed a hand flat on its surface, thinking about how the water touched your body mere moments ago, its calming arms caressing every inch of your skin. he doesn't want to feel jealous, but that he felt.

it has happened, much to his dread. you, who is possibly the only woman who can ever love someone like him, no longer have feelings for him. it was to be expected, but how can he live on when the only constant thing in his life finally left him for good?

alhaitham can only dip his hand in the water. it was the only closest thing to you that he could touch.

XIAO

He would blame himself entirely even if he wasn’t the reason

With you bleeding non-stop, he had a absolute meltdown

Zhongli, cloud retainer, Ganyu, Lumine, and Paimon are all there when Xiao carried your cold body back

Ganyu, cloud retainer, and Zhongli are in a separate room, tending you, Lumine and Paimon are outside with Xiao; while he obviously gets worse and worse every passing minute

He most definitely mumbling to himself saying “it’s my fault” and “please survive, I need you”

When the adults (and child) come back, they would explain your condition.

“She’s doing alright now is awake but—” Xiao would zoom past her(cloud retainer)

He would breakdown into tears again just by seeing you awake

The amount of reassurance and support you would give him to calm down, it wouldn’t really help

Promises you take double precautions about your safety

SCARAMOUCHE

Also blames himself entirely

He wouldn’t have tried to become a god if it meant getting you closer to death

He will literally stop the process just to make sure you’ll be okay

And the doctor only saving you for his benefit; just to use Scara

Will definitely have a breakdown if he doesn’t hear anything about you every 2 hours

If you end up in a coma, that operation would not start up again until you wake up

During the coma, he would blame himself over and over and eventually start crying every now and then

Once you wake up, he will be all over you

He probably doesn’t want to be a god anymore but also no longer a fatui harbinger

You guys would run away together <3

VENTI

He would be going through 4 stages of grief

He would definitely heal you, maybe a little bit too much healing

He would stick by you at all times

Wouldn’t eat, sleep, or even leaving the room

He would get worse and worse every second until you wake up

Definitely crying every passing minute of your eyes being closed

Eyes puffy and red, he would be so starved, eye bags would be more obvious

Terrible condition

Archons, you would be more worried about him than yourself and pain

CYNO

Whoever hurt you so badly, would be killed put to justice immediately

Would definitely panic to Candace about your condition

She would have to get Lumine, Dehya, Tighnari just to calm HIM down (Tighnari would help Candace)

In a coma state, like Venti—his barely taking care of himself

To the point where, Tighnari, Dehya, and Candace have to drag him away and lock you up in a room daily until he takes care of himself properly

He wouldn’t leave your side. Calling off work almost everyday

Sleeping besides you, eating besides you, and even sometimes do work before you.

He ain’t budging from that room until he has to take care of himself

Once you wake up, I promise you, he would be holding back tears so badly his eyes hurt until he releasing them

Hug you so tightly you almost pass out again

Loves you too dearly

Took all the whole day until the others knew you woke up (about 15-16 hours later)

AYATO

Drop everything after hearing that you’re hurt terribly

Him, Thoma, and Ayaka would figure out you’re on the brink of death

He would totally say “excuse me, I have work to do” just to “distract” himself but can’t get shit done

News will spread on the street but Mrs. Kamisato being on a death bed

He would barely get any work done. Even if he tried

Would want to see you but he knows he will fall into a deeper hole if that happens

Thoma and Akaya would definitely be affected as well but not as much as Ayato

Once you wake up, that man rather pile up his work than miss a chance to see you 24/7

Would keep you in arm’s reach if going out of the city

Shower you with love and affection every time he sees you
