Mondstadt: how the boys act in a relationship~
Characters: Kaeya, Diluc, Venti, Albedo, Varka.
Info: What the title says. I didn't include the younger characters because I didn't feel super comfortable writing about them, sorry. >_<
Warnings: swearing - pet names - Albedos segment is a little suggestive if you squint - not proof-read.
Notes: Gn!reader! Also this is just a warm up post to get me back in the swing of this stuff :P
On god, I’m convinced this man is ethereal for the soul reason of distracting you from how much of a little shit he is.
A lot of people probably think of him as a flirt. They’re wrong. Charming? Yes. Flirty? No. This is something you also come to realise when he does start flirting with you, and oh boy, he can make you weak at the knees without even really trying. Worst part is? He’s very aware and will absolutely weaponise it.
He was raised with Diluc, so it’s no real surprise that he also knows how to be an extremely good gentleman! He always makes an extra effort to woo you and make you feel like royalty; whether that be simply holding doors or pulling out chairs for you to sit, or by surprising you with beautiful gifts and poetry that he unironically enjoys, if only because he enjoys collecting little pieces of work to quote back to you.
Occasionally, his past weighs heavy on him, and the only way he can really find comfort other than by drinking, is by pestering you. It’s obvious too. He’ll often push boundaries, albeit unintentionally; refusing to give you space, acting whiny, even sometimes getting snappy at you. Don’t take this to heart, though. He simply doesn’t know how to cope without self destruction; so just make a moment to tell him that it’s okay, give him a hug, and he’ll melt right into you—it’ll also grant you a bouquet of your favourite flowers and your favourite snack as an apology.
He secretly viewed Dainsleif as competition for a little.
“There isn’t a star in this universe, or any other that could possibly outshine you, my Love— I am truly bewitched by you, and I couldn’t be more honoured.”
How is he younger than me. what.
A gentleman born and bred. It’s canon that he’s actually extremely charming towards people when it comes to social gatherings, despite his trademark aloof attitude; so be it no surprise when you’re treated like royalty.
Similar to Kaeya, he’ll show his affection through acts of service, along with a surprising amount of physical affection. He’s always making sure to touch you in some way; often opting for keeping his hand placed on your back, or offering his arm for you to hold onto.
Man made an entirely separate menu for The Angel’s Share that only you were allowed to order from! The menu containing all your favourite food and snacks, along with your very own signature drink that he and Elzer lost more sleep over than he’d ever be willing to admit.
You know he likes to play Batman. He knows you know—do either of you mention it? No. It’s funnier that way whenever he half-asses a flustered excuse as to why he was out all night.
Though, to be completely honest, you actually look forward to those nights, because it was the only time he’d willingly come back to bed once the sun was up, leaving the two of you snuggled together in the warmth of each others arms.
You’re also the only person who can touch his hair, and good lord is It soft. You steal his shampoo and conditioner so often that he now just buys two of each.
“For as long as the moon sets, and the sun rises, and with every breath I take, I will always make sure your tomorrows are filled with the peace and happiness you deserve.”
An absolute sweetheart with a truckload of trauma. But what else is to be expected of the Anemo Archon himself.
He’d be so sweet to you! Constantly praising you, pecking your cheek, even sometimes making a big deal about putting his cloak down on a puddle, just so you didn’t get your feet messy.
He’s definitely very whimsical when it comes to your relationship; always making sure to keep that sense of magic to your everyday life.
He’s actually cut back on his visits to Angel’s Share for you! Was he happy about it? Definitely not, but what did make him happy was seeing you less worried, which was the most important thing.
All of his gifts are handmade! And very diverse too.
He’s been alive for a long time, so it’s only natural that he’s gained some skills along the way; ranging from baking, sewing, carpentry, painting—you name it, and he most likely has a good idea on how to do it.
He’s definitely a little over protective, even if he tries to play it off cool. Whenever you venture a little too close to the edge of cliffs, or find yourself in a close call with some hilichurls; Venti would always just so conveniently be in the same area, and what kind of boyfriend would he be if he didn’t help his beloved in their time of need?
He’s honestly just scared of losing you. He knows it’s selfish, but he can’t stand the thought of losing you, not when you’ve given him a purpose; which was ironic for The God Of Freedom.
He absolutely adores it when you dance and sing for him, even if you’re atrocious at it! He’ll sing and play his lyre for hours, days if he could, just to hear you laugh and sing for as long as possible.
He also loves to lay with you in the grass, lazily pointing at random clouds and telling you stories from the past, before forcing you to take a nap.
“You are a song my voice will never grow tired of singing; a poem that never runs empty of words, and I will make sure that the wind will always guide you back into my arms, and to the home you’ll always have in my heart.”
A walking conundrum to say the least.
He’ll stare you dead in the eyes and say the most out of pocket shit you’ll ever hear in your life, leaving your face burning brighter than a flaming flower, only to hit you with a deadpan “My apologies, I didn’t expect my words to have such an extraordinary effect on you.”
He likes to take notes on your behaviour, which often ruins the more romantic moments; like one time you were having a picnic under the stars, enjoying some much needed down time from the constant string of research you had been doing; when all of a sudden, Albedo pulled out a notebook and started writing in excruciating detail how your head tilted a little more to the side the more you liked whatever you were eating, then proceeded to explain how that was immensely important to take note of for the remaining date.
He doesn’t mean to be a little weird about it. This is his first time sharing such a unique connection with someone, and he just wants to make sure he knows and treasures everything about you!
He has the complete opposite of jealousy issues.
One time you got mad at him because someone was hitting on you in front of him, and he just enthusiastically joined in because why wouldn’t someone be attracted to you? He completely agreed with them.
Definitely would get protective if anyone got touchy, though.
He has a fancy, custom made pocket watch with a portrait he secretly had done of you, and he always makes sure to talk to it if you’re away for a long period of time.
“I’ve never been good at expressing how I feel; but somehow, you’ve given me the encouragement to try, just so I can put into words how much you truly mean to me.”
Oh you hunk of a man that will always have a beard, no matter how much Hoyo decides you don’t.
He’d absolutely brag about you every chance he got.
Honestly, he seems like a surprisingly normal guy?
He’d always bring back gifts from the places he’s stayed at, and if you like them? Then expect another one without any explanation.
He’d definitely be super into cuddling! Makes him feel like he’s protecting you whenever he has his arms wrapped around you.
He’d always make sure to be super gentle with you, often apologising frantically if he thinks he held you a little too tight.
Has a secret fear that one day he’ll roll on-top of you in his sleep and squash you.
People probably know your name more than his, considering how much he talks about you; often mentioning how he can’t wait to see the look on your face when he tells you about whatever insane scenario he just went through, or boring his men with stories about how you met, despite being scolded by you for it on multiple occasions.
His dream is to one day live in Mondstadt with you. No official work or expeditions; just the two of you, living an extremely cheesy, yet very happy life without having to be separated for so long.
“Everywhere I go, there always seems to be a piece of you floating around. And every time I find it, I manage to fall in love a little more.”
