What The Owner writes
"I mainly write Genshin Impact X readers, the gender is strictly Gender Neutral. Unless, it's a request or if I say so. I tend to write long oneshot, they may vary from below 5k to 10k+ words."
"I normally do Oneshots and some hcs, I also tend to write Character x Character, but rarely. Perhaps some 18+ stuff too, but nothing too spicy as I feel slightly uncomfortable writing anything like that, especially when I have little to no experience in writing. After all, writing is just a little hobby."
Note: I cannot portray all the characters accurately, nor am I fully educated on each character's backstory. There may be times where one may seem out of character and I may alternate their personal backstories if I am not familiar with it.
What The Owner refuses to write
"I don't mind writing Smut related fics that include popular kinks (Bondage, Dry Humping, Toys). However, I will under no circumstances write anything related to the list below."
Pedophilia
Yandere (The killing type)
Rape (Dub-con is somewhat acceptable)
"And perhaps much more but my brain cannot think of anymore. I may have no standards, especially my taste in men, but I have morals."
"You are free to request for a Oneshot, so long as it does not violate my rules."
"If any of my fics happen to have a similar plot to yours, I do apologise beforehand. It's most likely possible I wouldn't have known. If you would like me to take down one, provided with your evidence, please don't hesitate to ask (politely)."
"Refrain from bringing anything political anywhere near me. I'm here purely for fun and entertainment, not engage in petty arguements because of my opinions."
The Owner's rules
I use a more vulgar vocabulary when i'm being much less formal (Cursing, dirty jokes, etc.)
I allow criticism, but be more professional if you have any. I don't tolerate any rude behaviour in general.
You're free to curse as long as you're being harmless.
If I have used your artwork, you are free to send a request asking me to take it down, provided you are the original artist/photographer or have evidence of your ownership.
All characters in my fics used belong to Hoyoverse, the creators of Genshin Impact.
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
About requests
"Depending on the type of request, I may make it my priority and finish it before my current or other drafts. Please include;"
1. Type of genshin character (Singular, poly, a whole region, a specific group or everyone), the more characters there are, the longer it'll take for me to finish and the shorter the fic.
2. Type of fic (Oneshot, hcs, drabbles)
3. Type of genre (Fluff, angst, crackfic, combination), NSFW is still available, but nothing too hardcore.
4. A scenario or topic (Can be a specific prompt, or general things like comfort or dating)
5. Any specific requests you'd like (Feel free to ask for anything specific; The personality, their genders, anything!)
6. Characters like Klee, Yao yao, Sayu, etc. are strictly platonic, I don't care if their canon ages are 1000+ or whatever, no means no.
7. Reader x Canon or Canon x canon is allowed, I apologise, but I cannot do OC x Canon.
"It's not required for all 7, but it'll be easier for my sanity and brain."

Simple, you suffer the disaster with Shikanoin Heizou. Now, the both of you have been dragged into this mess together, forced to work together in order to catch the culprit.

❝ Two of Teyvat's most attractive students in a relationship, sounds like the definition of a perfect couple. But what happens when the Windblume festival on Valentine's day is just around the corner and a wave of disaster strikes, right as you're about to ask your beloved boyfriend, Kaeya Alberich, out?

It's such a shame, though. You would much rather drop dead than to breathe in the same air as him. ❞
That was what Heizou felt— same forest, same atmosphere, same reason. Even if though it was only his second time here, it was still for the same reason.
Dried leaves crunched beneath his shoes as he navigated through the forest, pushing past low hanging branches while occasionally glancing upwards.
The sky was taking a dark blue hue and the moon was already starting to rise, he had to pick up the pace if he wanted to find you before it gets any darker. "The things I do for you..." Heizou chuckled dryly, shaking his head with a fond smile plastered on his face, not a hint of annoyance or regret in his tone— just amusement and slight worry.
It seems like whatever upset you had really broke you this time compared to before, his intuition was telling him it was because of a certain bastard— and he sure as hell didn't need any confirmation on that.
Lately, you'd been pretty distant with everyone. You've avoided nearly everyone and tiptoed around the topic just to escape, you barely even replied to Heizou when he wanted to talk to you about the investigation— you were both getting close to the culprit but he had to make sure you wouldn't get distracted anymore.
And you weren't the only one acting all gloomy.
It was an absolute blast watching Kaeya be so bitchy for the past few days, lashing out at poor innocent bystanders for just looking at him a little too long— before immediately getting into trouble for it.
Oh, the look on Kaeya's pissed off face when he saw Heizou yesterday, followed by the list of childish death threats and curses he spewed out, even as a lecturer stood right next to him. A mere suspension just felt too light for the blue haired male, couldn't they just outright kick him out on the spot?
It doesn't take a genius to put two and two together— something between you and Kaeya happened, no doubt it was clearly a breakup.
A part of him did feel a little smug, after all, he was right; Kaeya was a controlling, manipulative and selfish cheater— just an overall douchebag. It was only a matter of time before things broke off between the two of you, and he was definitely ecstatic to know that you finally dumped Kaeya.
But now wasn't the time to rub 'I'm always right' in your face, maybe he'll do it to Kazuha or something, probably even Kaeya— Not you, you shouldn't to be put down or mocked just because you loved someone who didn't deserve a gem like you.
And he'll always be there to remind you that you always deserved someone who truly loves you.
'Someone who deserves you, like...' Heizou's thoughts trailed off, wondering what would've happened if he were in Kaeya's position instead— to be your boyfriend...
He frantically shook his head, trying to focus on the task at hand instead of dreaming about being your significant other. Or at the very least, he can do that later... But right now, he had to make sure you're alright first and foremost!
Trudging through the familiar path he took last time, his heart began racing as he spots clues of your presence; Faint footprints on the ground, droplets of what seemed to be your tears seeping into the soil. Such tiny details only someone like him could pick up, and someone like you could only leave behind.
He could just sense your presence nearby, and it wasn't long before he finally found you.
Out in the open, sitting down by the lake. Your knees up to your chest and facing away from him, the moonlight shining down on you like an ethereal beam, framing you as though you were a true masterpiece to behold. You looked...
"I know you're there."
He stood still, hands in his pockets and his mouth shut, he'd mess everything up if he even lets out the slightest sound. He could tell you might break down, all that pent up frustration bubbling in you. For now, he'd wait for you to vent it all out.
"Why'd it have to be you?... Of all the people, you were the last person I wanted to see." Hatred was clear in your tone, and to be honest, it stung Heizou a little. But really, it was just your emotions being too strong for you to control right now, he couldn't blame you for that.
He'd never blame you.
Your shoulders tensed, still refusing to face him. "Are you here to mock me? Actually... no. You knew the entire time, didn't you?" You finally turned your head, your eyes and nose red, seeing Heizou must've been a breaking point for you. "You're always right, aren't you?"
"You knew he was seeing others behind my back, and you just kept quiet? Weren't you always the smartass that knew everything?" Your voice starts to raise itself, rage barely simmering beneath the surface. Your emotions welled, your mind fogging up with old memories of your ex-lover and all the years you wasted away for him.
"You always said you wanted to be my friend, well what kind of a friend are you!? You just let me get cheated on for archons knows how long, and you don't even bother to tell me an ounce of the truth!? You always hated lying, that was the one thing you couldn't stand, and you still lied!" Your eyes glared daggers at him, raising your voice as it cracked with both pain and anger. Guilt and regret flooded his mind, you were... right.
He had the evidence of Kaeya's infidelity, that damned picture sitting in his phone's photo album. He should've just showed it to you outright. He was just... scared. Scared that you would brush him off, or accuse him for trying to sabotaging your relationship with Kaeya— even worse, you might break off your friendship with him.
A liar. He was a liar. He hated liars, and he became one of them, just like the very man who broke you.
"Damnit, Heizou! I fucking trusted you!" You hissed, turning your body to face him fully, that pained expression on your face forever burned in his mind. "First, that arguement with Kaeya, then the investigation, and now I found out my boyfriend had been cheating on me the entire time— is there anything else I'm supposed to be stressing over!?"
"You knew how much I loved him, I poured everything I had for him and you let me drain myself out for him! I loved him, so much it hurts, and look where that got me— All this time, you could've told me the truth!" You gritted your teeth.
"Say something! For fuck's sakes!—"
"Yes, I... I knew the entire time."
He lowered his head, guilt plastered all over his face as he recalled all the times you gushed over the very man who cheated on you, the very man you swore to spend the rest of your life with.
"I knew it, months ago I found out at the party you passed out at. That was... the reason why I took you home." He sighed, lifting his head up to face you. "But I was scared. You never really trusted me back then. For all I know, you might never even want to talk to me anymore after I tell you the truth."
He took a hesitant step forward, and then another, and another...
"You were... so happy because of Kaeya, because of him— I didn't want to take your happiness away just because I told you the truth. I-I know, it's really stupid..." Heizou continued, cringing at his own explanation. "I thought that he loved you too, maybe you two could... work things out? Eventually, you'd get that life you wanted; To be with someone you want to spend for the rest of your life with."
Heizou could barely glance at you, unable to read your expression as you stared at him. Discomfort eating at him, he wasn't sure how to continue.
"...I care about you, [Name]. I really do... A lot more than I really should, actually." Heizou chuckles dryly. "And I do dumb things because of you, but I don't regret any of it... This time, though, I really regret not telling you about Kaeya. If I did, maybe I would've been there for you, so you wouldn't be in so much pain when you face the truth."
"You don't have to forgive me, I-I just wanted you to know that— I'm sorry, I really am." Heizou lifts his head to face you, he still couldn't read your expression.
A moment that felt longer than eternity passes, you slwoly stood up.
Heizou's nerves immediately went haywire, you hadn't said anything yet, and he couldn't tell how you were feeling.
He sputtered over his words, slowly backing away, words mashed together in a rush. "H-Hey! Hey! I-If you wanna punch me, sure, I-I really don't mind, you can kick my ass all you want! But right now, it's getting super late right now, and it's not safe for you so can't I just—"
A pair of arms wrapped around his torso was what caused him to stop in his tracks, hands hovering awkwardly as he felt warmth against him.
"...You were right..." You muttered, bringing him closer for a proper hug, face hiding in the crook of his neck. Your tone softens, only exhaustion and relief remained. "...I forgive you."
His shoulders relaxed, his hands unsure where to touch before eventually settling on wrapping around your waist. "That's all I wanted to hear." He hummed quietly, returning your embrace.
Soft, warm. He knew you'd give great hugs, Lumine always bragged about your hugs, now he understood why.
The both of you stood in the middle of the forest, quietly embracing the other in a firm but gentle hug. His heartbeat follows your rhythm, your breathing slowly growy steady as you held onto him like a precious lifeline.
"...I don't understand why you want to help me." You whispered. "Or be friends with me, or care about me— or just continue being near me in general."
You pulled away, holding onto his forearms, as if you were afraid to let something precious go. "You do realize all I do to you is call you a 'little shit' and make your life as miserable as I could, right?" You let out a self-deprecating chuckle, truly confused on why Heizou, of all people, would stick around for you.
His lips tugged into a cheeky smirk, reaching out to poke at your nose affectionately. "You did the exact opposite, y'know? You made my life all the more fun by trying to piss me off all the time, but it was better when I pissed you off even more." He snickers.
You clicked your tongue in annoyance, but his words couldn't stop you from breaking into a wide grin. "Fuck off, dumbass— I was trying to chase you off because you wouldn't leave me alone."
"And I'm glad I didn't." He quipped, winking at you with a smug look. "Frankly, I won't be leaving you any time soon... or ever."
A chuckle from you. Finally, you're smiling and laughing again.
"...Y'know what, I really don't think I mind that anymore." Your gaze softens, your eyes were a captivating sight when you're vulnerable. "...And well, I-I'm sorry too— for overreacting and trying to pin the blame on you. You were just trying to protect me. Plus, I know we have an investigation going on... I should get my head back in the game so we could get this over with."
"Then we're both even; I'm sorry for lying to you and you're sorry for trying to take your anger out on me. And hey, we're already pretty close to finding the culprit, we still got this in the bag." He gives you a light pat on the head, the gesture surprisingly not as annoying as before. "See? All you needed was just a little pep talk."
You scoffed, lightly swatting away his hand, a soft smile gracing your features. "All I needed was you."
That sent his beart beating faster than it ever has before, his face growing hotter as he quickly averted his gaze.
All you needed... was him. You needed him.
"I— A-Ahem!" Were you trying to flirt with him already? You had him wrapped around your little finger and you still looked oblivious to the effects you had on him. "W-Well... I'm glad to be of service."
He tries to play off his embarrassment with a smug look, thank archons it was already getting dark.
Your sweet chuckle rang through the air, followed by your fist connecting to his shoulder in a light punch. "A 3 star service at best." You joked.
"3 stars!? Damn, tough crowd." Heizou snorted, rolling his eyes in amusement. "Can I get it up to 5 if I escort you back home safe and sound, your majesty?"
Heizou does an exaggerated bow, holding his hand out for you, that stupid grin on his face— the same grin that would normally fuel your hatred for him— now, sent the butterflies in your stomach fluttering.
"Certainly, my good sire." You spoke dramatically, placing your hand onto his.
It wasn't the first time you've touched his hand, yet, it feels... perfect. As though you were both meant to be holding hands like this with fingers intertwined.
A part of you hoped this wouldn't be the last time.
And he, too, hoped that he would get to do more than holding hands with you someday.
.
.
.
Gosh, if Heizou had a mirror, he'd find himself smiling like an absolute fool in love. Not even Kazuha could get his heart racing from a single smile.
After making sure you retreated back to your dorm safely, he made his way towards the elevator— the doors suddenly swinging open to a familiar face stepping out.
"Ah!— A-Albedo! Heeeey, Albedo! Damn, what... uh, what are you doing here?" Heizou managed to sputter out, eyes averting from Albedo's while his cheeks flushed a bright red.
Albedo eyes widened ever so slightly in surprise to see Heizou... on the same floor as [Name]'s dorm. The blonde would know, he often visited them to drop Klee off for them to babysit.
"I was lending a friend of mine some notes, and you?" Albedo cocked his head to the side, the corner or his lips tugging into a smirk. He knew, there was no point hiding it. "...[Name]?"
Heizou groaned, rolling his eyes as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Dude, could you just... not mention seeing me here to anyone?" He asked, the blush on his face growing brighter. "...Specifically Kazuha if you see him. Aether too."
"I see you're leaving from their dorm, and you're quite red in the face. Should I come back later and give you both more privacy?" Albedo quipped in a teasing tone, earning a glare from the burgundy haired male. "Hm, you even look like them when you're glaring, you really pick up from your [S/O]."
"Albedo!" Heizou hisses in embarrassment. "I thought you're supposed to be the chill dude with no humour!"
"Rude." Albedo has humour! Everyone's just too dumb for it.
"I swear, if you mention this to anyone—"
Albedo lets out a chuckle, waving his hand dismissively as he walks past Heizoi. "Relax... I'll mention it when you both get married."
"Kreideprinz!"

You checked your phone time and time again, seeing his 'Online' status vanish in an instant as soon as you took a peek. Sometimes, you'd even catch a glimpse of him texting you, before he went offline again.
Sure, you tried texting him first, asking if there was a problem or if he needed help— only to get a dry response later on.
Even during lunch with your friends, you find yourself being unwillingly distracted, looking at your phone frequently. And when you're with Kaeya? God, that glare he gives when he sees you trying to text Heizou... It never fails to send a chill down your spine.
It feels like the whole world is against you; First, your relationship with Kaeya was basically having you walk on eggshells around him— and now, you're desperately trying to keep your friendship with Heizou afloat.
One thing after another, you feel like everything you do only messed another thing up and make it worse.
"Maybe he'd like these..." You muttered to yourself, carressing a red carnation, the petals soft as silk against your fingertips.
Your anniversary with Kaeya was coming up, but you were a little worried you might not have time to spend it with him— what with the investigation still on-going and having classes to top it off.
Besides, Kaeya always liked it when plans were made and done early, you figured it'd be nice for him to receive an early surprise too.
After purchasing a bouquet of red carnations, you took your usual route towards Kaeya's home.
A tired, but small smile plastered on your lips. It has been a rough month, and you were still thinking about how you could try and patch things up with Heizou... even though you weren't sure what you did that upset him so.
Yet, his friends reassured that he... wasn't upset with you? They're either lying or you're going insane.
"...Sorry, jackass..." You sighed quietly to yourself, as though you were whispering your apology to Heizou himself. A dry chuckle left your lips, you hadn't give Heizou any insulting nicknames for a while... when did you stop that? You used to love calling him a dumbass every chance you got.
As you looked through your past conversations with Heizou, searching for any clue that might've explained what made him grow distant, the bus slowed to a stop. It was time to see the love of your life again.
Eagerly stuffing your phone into your bag, you carried the bouquet with pride and exited the bus, hearing the sweet whispers from a pair of old ladies cooing at how lucky your significant other must be to have someone like you.
Damn right he was! And so were you! A man like Kaeya? People could only dream to have a relationship like yours with him— even if he made things... difficult at times.
You approach the door, heart pounding in your ears as you pictured that handsome face of his morphing into joy and shock at your sudden appearance. The bouquet clutched in one hand as you brought the other up to knock on the door.
Excitement coursed through you as you heard that familar voice muffled behind the door. "Coming! Coming..." Followed by a pair of... actually, there's two pairs of footsteps.
Must've been Diluc.
"Yes?— Wha... B—Babe??"
"Kaeya!! Surprise, honey!~" Your arms instinctively threw themselved around his shoulders, bringing him into a tight hug as you nuzzled your face into the crook of his neck, the familiar warmth bringing your comfort and—
"Shit— Babe, wh— uhm... what are you doing here so early?" He frantically nudged you back with a nervous smile, hands on your shoulder to keep you in place as his leg tried to pull on the door... as though hiding something from your sight.
You tilted your head, did you come at a bad time? "I got you some flowers... oh, a-am I interrupting your study session? Or maybe your gaming time with your pals? Sorry, sorry!—"
"Yeah! Yeah, uh... shit, babe, it's fine— maybe come again at another time?" Kaeya lets out a strained laugh, slowly pushing you away as he shuffled behind the door.
Your heart sank, he didn't even cared about the flowers... he loved it when you gifted him stuff...
"W-Wait, at least take the flowers plea—... Who the fuck is that?"
The young woman standing in the corridor froze midstep, her eyes wide as they slowly turned to look at you nervously.
That's your hoodie...
She's wearing your hoodie.
"[Name], I need you to leave—"
"No— no! Kaeya, who the FUCK is that!?" Even as he tried to block your sight, you were still strong enough to push him aside, eyes glaring on the lady that frantically ran back up the stairs— that bitch wasn't even wearing anything under your hoodie!
Curses slipped from your lips as you tried to follow that whore upstairs, only to be grabbed by the forearm and pulled back in by your 'lover'. "[Name]! Relax that's just a friend!"
"Oh, come the fuck on!" You scoffed while rolling your eyes. "Do I look like a dumbass to you? That hoodie she's wearing even has the same tear at the sleeves at the exact spot!"
Kaeya clicked his tongue, you really want to start this up again? After all that you've been through together, you still want to argue with something petty as quality time with a lady friend of his? "[Name], I am not going through this again—"
"AND I AM NOT GOING TO DEAL WITH YOUR BULLSHIT ANYMORE!"
His eyes widened with both shock and irritation, assuming you were again overreacting when he noticed all the pent up emotion bubbling in your eyes— your chest heaving as you realized something inside of you cracked.
He was NOT worth it anymore.
"It has been almost 6 years, Kaeya Alberich— 6 years!" You shoved him back against the door, your mind racing and heart pumping with adrenaline as everything you were holding in came crashing down on you. "For fuck's sakes, I thought I was your everything because of how much you loved me— But I was nothing more than a something to you!"
Rage. That was the only thing you felt now upon seeing that disbelief on his face, as if he was still convinced you were in the wrong.
"I loved you, Kaeya! With every fiber of my being, I loved you! I had wished for us to get married, start a family, grow old together!" You managed to choke out, eyes glossy with pained tears as you thought about all the sacrifices you made because you thought you meant something to Kaeya.
"I wanted to spend my entire life being your [S/O], not sit back and watch while you flirt 'lady friends'— Has loving me ever been in your mind for more than half a second before some damn hussy's ass became your main thought!?"
He grimaces, glancing at his fling hiding at the top of the stairs, quickly disappearing into his bedroom— leaving him completely defenseless against you.
"...[Name], do you realize how much I've done for you!?" He finally yelled back, bringing his voice higher than yours.
Your eyes widened, you stumbled back as he towered over you once again. "Yes, I loved you! But holy shit, you are always pissing me off in every damn way possible! For once in your life, just do something right—"
The sound of a sharp smack echoed in the now quiet house.
Kaeya froze, eyes wide and mouth agape as he slowly brought his hand up to his cheek. A sting, and it burned like hell. He knew you left a mark, and it wasn't a mark he liked at all.
"...You want me to do something right? Then the right thing to do is to break up with you." You hissed out, throwing the bouquet onto the floor, your palm numb after putting in all your anger into that slap.
You shoved him aside, not bothering to look back at him. "Tell that slut to keep my clothes, I don't need anything that reminds me of you."
Even as he shouted your name with that unmistakable anger that you're familar with, you didn't dare to look back— quickly leaving before he could catch you. Archons knows what would've happened.
Turning the corner and sprinting to a nearby park you used to have dates with your now ex-boyfriend, you kept your head low as everything started crashing over you. It was hard, trying to process everything that happened while bumping into strangers, barely able to sputter out a quick apology.
You tried to not break down, really, you tried. A few stray tears managed to leak out, sitting down at a bench to collect yourself.
You did it. You really called it off. Despite evwrything that happened, you... finally broke up with him.
Were you glad? In a way. Pissed about what happened? Absolutely. Feeling guilty over Kaeya cheating on you?... For some reason, you felt guilty.
Were you not enough for him? Did you do something in the first place that made him resort to infidelity? Are you in the wrong?
Questions swirled in your mind that was already overwhelmed with several emotions, what were you supposed to feel now? You just broke off a promising relationship with the man you swore to love for eternity, you loved him... what were you supposed to do now?...
Everything he's done to you, all the memories you shared with him, both good and bad— was it all a facąde?
He'd play the perfect boyfriend, just to let your guard down so he could manipulate you with tricks and gaslight you into staying with him. You've practically memorized every word he'd say, it was like he had a whole script for your disobedience!
Well, no more. You're done with his tricks. Done with his manipulative tactics. With his controlling behaviour. And you're never looking back.
You're free.
But you still feel empty.
...
...
...
His fingers tapped against the wooden desk in a steady rhythm, lime eyes staring at your past messages. Was he going too far? He just... didn't want to feel hurt again, not when it's just not fair for your boyfriend.
"Your battery's dying." His white haired best friend spoke while laying on the couch, not even needing to check for himself, he's already been staring at his laptop for the past few hours just reading your past conversations with him.
"Where did I go wrong? What should I do? Should I just... tell them?? I— I can't just ignore them forever!" His burgundy hair frazzled, running a finger through the locks.
The young poet groans and rolled his eyes, sitting up to look over at Heizou— with both pity and annoyance. "Well, even if I chose one of the two, you're just going to come up with some lame excuse on why chickening out is safer."
"I am not chickening out!"
"I saw you deleting every paragraph in that message."
Barely able to sputter out anything cohesive, the burgundy haired male only slumped onto his desk in exasperation— his mind a storm of thoughts and questions.
"...You know what, fine." He sat up straight, shutting down his already dead laptop anyways and getting up from the chair. "To hell if I make things worse, I can't let them suffer just because of me!"
Without any further elaboration, Kazuha watched with a deadpanned expression as his best friend ran out of the room. He waits, sitting on the couch while staring at the still open door swinging slowly.
"...At the very least learn to close the fucking door before you leave, douchebag!"

The ride was long and quiet, at least it seemed like it to you.
You were just sitting there alone, looking desperately through your old texts with Kaeya, wondering; what went wrong? How could you let this happen? Was there some sort of hint that could've prevented this?
But as the bus approaches your stop, you could only sigh in defeat and out away your phone, preparing yourself in every way for the most difficult part of your life; Confronting your boyfriend.
Getting off the bus, it was a short walk to his house. The lights were on, you could see silhouettes of two people inside. While one of them was obviously Kaeya, whose shape was easily identified by you, you couldn't quite make out who the 2nd one was.
'Was this... surely it couldn't be...'
It took a good moment of you standing in the front yard, gathering the courage to press the doorbell. You didn't want to do this, you were scared of history repeating itself. But there was no turning back now.
"I'll get it." A familiar voice spoke as the unknown shadow in the window moved, thankfully it was just Diluc. "...[Name]?"
"Heeeey, Diluc! Uhm... sorry for coming uninvited, I wanted... uhm— to find Kaeya." You let out a sheepish laugh while wearing a forced smile, you rarely talked to your boyfriend's brother, he can get a little possessive over you whenever you were near the redhead.
At least he was somewhat of a gentleman, even with his broody personality.
"Uninvited?" Diluc parroted, narrowing his eyes at you with suspicion. "Well, Kaeya always said you could come over whenever. So, come in."
He shrugged, stepping aside politely to let you in. "Thanks—"
"Babe!" You flinched at that voice, nerves getting the better of you as you turned to see your beloved already by your side eithin seconds, scooping you up into that warm hug that always made you melt. "What're you doing here?"
His chuckle made the butterflies in your stomach go wild, even after what happened previously, your heart found it hard to ignore everything about him.
And just like always, you succumbed to his charms without realizing.
"Kaeyaaaaa!~" You cooed, wrapping your arms around him, nuzzling your cheek against his affectionately.
Diluc scoffs, closing the door without batting another eye at the two of you, retreating to his bedroom so he wouldn't have to witness his brother and you lick faces again.
"Well, uh..." You trailed off, forgetting the reason why you were here. In your mind, all those thoughts went out the window, you only felt that familiar embrace that warmed your heart and the pair of strong arms that made you feel safe. "I-I dunno... guess I just wanted to see you."
"Dawww, did I neglect my sweet little snowflake?" He cooed, peppering your cheek with kissed as you giggled, kicking your legs in a giddy manner.
He carries you over to the couch and sat down, keeping you on his lap. "I was just watching some movies before you came, but now that you're here..." He trailed off, voice low and husky with a sensual tone.
His arms snaked themselves around your waist, bringing you flush to his chest. Your hands found purchase on his broad shoulders, it's been a while since you last had any sort of intimacy with Kaeya, your cheeks growing hotter as he began planting kisses on your neck.
But that soon stopped when he took a good whiff of you, it's that fucking scent again.
"...Did you see that brat again?" Kaeya pulled away, glaring down at you with annoyance clear in his eyes, a growl rumbling in his throat. "Archons, you smell just like him! Have you been cuddling him or something? I'm going to fucking kill him!"
You snapped out of your little dazed state, already cowering under that glare of his. "What? No! Why would I do that?..." You scoffed, flustered that he would think of you so lowly that you'd be intimate with another man that wasn't him.
"That stupid ass smell's a dead give away. I knew it, you're here because Heizou's not giving you attention isn't he? So you're coming to be because you want some, don't you? Fucking slut." It sounded so easy for him to say that, as if he had been holding back those words meant exactly for you.
Your heart stung, and it hurts just as badly. "Kaeya, I have to be near Heizou because I have both assignments and an investigation to do with him."
Kaeya lets out a scoff, leaning back against the couch with arms crossed, as if he didn't dare touch you anymore. "Not denying it? I thought you loved me? My attention? Wasn't I your priority? Why's Heizou all you want to be with now?" He spat out, voice sharper than a knife.
And each word he said only made you hang your head lower. Thinking back, you have been neglecting him, just to spend more time finishing homework and investigating the incident with Heizou. You rarely even got to text Kaeya anymore, did you sabotage your own relationship?
You snapped out of your thoughts, if Kaeya was going to use that excuse again, two can play it that game. "At least I still love you, I wish I could say the same."
"Excuse me?"
And immediately, you regretted your words, sensing pure unadulterated anger eminating from his voice alone. You cowered once more under his scrutiny, subtly looking around for a way out, even scrambling off his lap and tumbling onto the floor below.
Your hands flew to your pocket, frantically pulling out your phone and searching for the unknown number, before shoving your phone at his face while backing away. "I-I know you've been seeing someone behind my back!" You managed to sputter out, your voice lacking any sort of confidence, only filled with uncertainty and fear.
He snatched your phone, eyes narrowing in what seemed like disbelief. "Wha?— Kaeya!" You hissed, trying to retrieve your phone, but it was easy for him to keep it out of your grasp, using his free hand to keep you from coming closer.
"Seriously? Just because you think some nobody's saying they 'love me', you automatically think it's real?" Kaeya scoffed, before tossing your phone back at you. "I thought you were supposed to be smart, can't you see this was just a stupid prank? Some idiot probably wanted us to break up."
It hits your face, a whine elicting from your throat as you scrambled to catch it, keeping it close to your chest. But that hurts nothing more than the stinging pain in your heart.
He was right, it could've been a prank. After all, some people really were jealous of your relationship with Kaeya.
You lowered your head, struggling to find the right words. "I... But... They..." Futile. You couldn't thinm straight anymore, not after realizing you were overreacting again.
"I guess maybe it's what you wanted after all; A break up." Kaeya spat.
"No! N-No, wait!" You immediately clasped your hands together, eyes already tearing up at the thought of losing Kaeya because of your mess up again. "Please, I-I wasn't thinking! Kaeya, I love you— I promise, please, don't leave me!"
As he turns away from you, an amused smirk plays on his lips. You're so desperate for him, it's hilarious. He loves this; The feeling of power and control over your pathetic little heart, getting you to obey his every whim.
And damn it, he loves keeping your heart trapped in his grasp, there was no way he'll ever let you go. He'll rule over you with an iron fist, and you'll be trapped, forever in need of him.
"Why do you always assume things? Don't you trust me anymore? You always say that 'you love me' and 'I'm the only one for you' bla bla bla, and here you are, thinking I'm cheating on you! If you love me so much, you wouldn't doubt me in the first place, my loyalty lies with you, [Name]." He hissed, grabbing the collar of your top and bringing you closer to his face.
A startled whimper leaves your lips, your limbs going numb out of fear that you've fucked up badly again. "I'm... I'm sorry... Kaeya, please... I love you..." You barely managed to whisper out softly, hoping that he'll see the pure love you truly held for him despite everything that happened.
You loved him. And it was suffocating you. But you still love him.
Kaeya clicks his tongue, letting you go reluctantly. "I swear, I babysit you more than I love you." He grumbled through gritted teeth, anger still bubbling inside him at your audacity.
You rubbed your neck, feeling slight imprints from your top straining against your flesh when he grabbed the collar. A mark that'll remind you how much of a mess you are without him.
The silence was deafening, you waited anxiously to see what Kaeya had to say, you had no right to even defend yourself anymore after messing up your relationship with him for the umpteenth time.
Doubts and worries swirl in your mind, wondering; 'Is this really it? Does he... not love you anymore?'
"You know, I still love you." The blur haired male finally spoke, a sigh of annoyance followed, before flashing you that oh-so charming smile. "You're lucky you're too lovable, hm?"
A shiver runs fown your spine, that smile says a lot of things. A lot of things, except 'I love and forgive you'.
Yet, you kept your mouth shut, keeping your head low like a disobedient puppy getting reprimanded.
"I was thinking about breaking up with you..." He hummed casually, amused by the look of horrified panic in your eyes. "But I'm still willing to give you a chance."
"A-Anything! Anything..." You exclaimed in desperation, a nervous smile on your face.
"How about this: You stop hanging out with that red haired fucker, and I'll consider staying as your boyfriend. The very least you can do, hm? After all, I'm your date for the next Windblume Festival, not him." He quipped.
You raised a brow, doubtful that you could accept that deal.
There was still more work to be done, you certainly can't get anything done without him and vice versa. Besides, you liked hanging out with him, even if he could get on your nerves sometimes...
Although, you just find him more funny than annoying lately, as if you've mistaken his humour for arrogance all along. And you'd hate to leave him hanging, let alone ruin your friendship with him...
He sees the uncertainty in your face, his smile dropping into a scowl. "Or, we can just break up now."
"No!" You blurted out in a panic, there was nothing more dreadful than someone you loved dearly slipping away from you. "I... I'll do it... I won't see Heizou anymore..." You murmured in defeat.
A pleased and smug look finally appears on his face, granting you the relief that felt amazing. "Good. See? It wasn't so hard now, was it? I knew you'd be a good [S/O]. And you know what? Since I'm such a great boyfriend, I'll let you continue your little investigation game with him... As long as I get to tag along and keep an eye on you." He cooed, giving your forehead a peck, ignoring the way you flinched a little.
Your blue haired lover draped an arm around your shoulders tugging you along with him. "Now, how about we discuss about that Windblume Festival date? I was thinking we could match outfits, or at least wear matching bracelets..."
And as you absentmindedly let him drag you along, you could feel your phone vibrating.
Heizou. Again. It seems like he was still worried when you left abruptly, texting you dozens of messages, asking if you were safe.
Your first thought was to reply with a joke and let him know you were fine, but then, you heard Kaeya clearing his throat.
One look at his disapproving look, and you hesitantly pocketed your phone, earning a stiff pat on the head and a praise from him
Guilt tears at your heart, knowing Heizou probably wouldn't get a good night's sleep if you didn't reassure him of your safety, and a part of you regrets ignoring him.
But you made a mental promise to yourself that you'd text him the first chance you'll get— when Kaeya's not around, lest you risk another arguement, and you were knew the relationship between you two was teetering closely towards a break up if you didn't obey him.
He can wait, making sure your boyfriend doesn't blow up around you again was a lot more important.
Walking eggshells around your him was exhausting, but anything to feel loved by him.
Anything.
Even at the cost of having to ignoring a close friend that made you feel just as loved.

[Heizou x GN!Reader SMAU]
❝ Two of Teyvat's most attractive students in a relationship, sounds like the definition of a perfect couple. But what happens when the Windblume festival on Valentine's day is just around the corner and a wave of disaster strikes, right as you're about to ask your beloved boyfriend, Kaeya Alberich, out? Simple, you suffer the disaster with Shikanoin Heizou. Now, the both of you have been dragged into this mess together, forced to work together in order to catch the culprit. It's such a shame, though. You would much rather drop dead than to breathe in the same air as him. ❞
Juggling the responsiblities of a full-blown investigation and your classes was a daunting task, especially when the assignments start piling up.
"I think... I can finish this assignment, then I'll do that group project... since the deadline for this assignment's pretty far, I'll save this one for last... and then I—"
"Talk about master at multitasking." A familiar voice spoke in front of you, the young burgundy haired male sitting across the table, also havign to handle the same pile of assignments.
Unfortunately, you had decided to take a break and went on a little date with your boyfriend. And that spent time resulted in more homework than Heizou had, despite being in the same course as him.
It was... not exactly the best date, after all, you were only grabbing a bite with Kaeya. And while it started off pretty awkward, after all the problems that had been occuring between the two of you lately, it still felt like nothing ever happened at all.
Playful banter, romantically cheesy pick-uplines, exchanging inside jokes and sharing bites of eachother's food...
Unfortunately, the date had to end a lot quicker than you had wanted it to. Even when you said you'd skip your class using one of your absences, which you had plenty of, Kaeya seemed pretty insistent in ending the date quickly.
He didn't even have time to walk you back like usual...
And now, here you were; In Heizou's form. Swamped with assignments and deadlines, trying to work on them while helping him with the investigation. At least you and him found out Xiao could be involved somehow, Layla too motive-wise...
"Need my help? I already finish last week's assignment, and I could give you some personal feedback for that group project?" Heizou's voice once again ran through your ears, snapping you out of your little reminiscing. "You look like your minds all over the place."
"Psh, you think? That douchebag of a professor just keeps on giving and giving homework— I swear, it's like he doesn't know awnsers to these question and is asking us like we're the awnser sheets." You snort, continuing to sort through the files on your laptop.
His laughter made the corner of your lips quirk upwards once agaun, a small habit you've been adopted after spending more time with this little burgundy haired bastard.
Yet, you didn't mind it.
"Well, he'd definitely picked the best minds for the awnsers." He gestures to the two of you, wearing that same smug look as usual.
"Well guess what, I have a life to live and not spend it on doing 10 assignments a day." You retorted while rolling your eyes, before slumping in your chair with a groan. "None of my assignments are even halfway done, I might want to consider begging to the professors for some extra time..."
Heizou, who was in the middle of his own work, placed his laptop aside. "C'mon, aren't you the best of the best? Well, other than me of course." He chuckled, standing up from his seat.
"The only thing you're best at is being annoying." You scoffed, glaring at Heizou who was approaching you.
Now standing behind you, he leaned in closer and began reading the half-assed essay you wrote under his breath. His chest pressed against the back of your head, hands on either side arm rest. "Huh, you're actually really good at this." He mumbled, unaware that you had tensed up and shrank while literally caged between his arms.
You stole a glance at the way his muscles flex when he gripped the arm rest, his words going through one ear and out the other. It's not your first time seeing Heizou flex his muscles, he's done it a hundred times when you were both sparred, mostly to rile you up. But this was your first time seeing it up close. 'Is... Is he doing this on purpose??...'
"[Nickname]?"
"Shit, yeah! Uh— Totally!" You stammered out, shaking out of your thoughts. You tilted your head up to see Heizou peering down at you. "...Er, Yeeees?"
"I gotta say, I'm kinda considering the idea to have you to write my essay too." Heizou joked, looking down at you with their cheeky smile.
You sputtered over your words, pink dusting your cheeks as you swatted at his chest. "Oi! I'm not some free labour for you to dump everything on! First the investigation and now your homework? You lazy bum!"
And as his laughter rang out with his chest, still pressed up against the back of your skull, you can't help but realize there's plenty of muscle under those clothes of his.
"Relax! I got some time to spare, lemme just help you write the next few sections— But you gotta promise to not slack off anymore after this. We still have some work to do and people to interrogate later." Heizou hummed, typing away on your laptop, keeping you caged between his arms.
Even though he was more focused on helping you with your essay, he can't help but rest his chin on your head.
Your hair smells really nice today, this might be his favorite shampoo you've tried on yet.
You were saved from your flustered thoughts when your phone buzzed, your hands scrambling into your pockets to fish out your phone. A sigh of relief left your lips, a message... until you noticed who the sender was; unknown.
You quickly unlocked your phone, about to question the anonymous sender— but alarms were going off in your head. Who was texting you? How did they get your number? This better not have been another weirdo trying to ask you out again, can't people get the understand that you're already taken by an equally hot guy?
As you were tempted to respond, asking who the sender was, you nearly dropped your phone when you felt Heizou lower his head and now resting his chin on your shoulder. "Who're you talking to, watson?"
"You— You dumbass! Jesus, ever heard of privacy?" You turned your phone off, glaring again at the burgundy haired male who only replied with a smirk— finally taking the seat next to you and pulling your laptop towards him.
"Alright, alright, fine~ But now you owe me lunch for making me do all your work now." Heizou hummed in a half-joking manner, resuming with your essay.
You let out a snort, waving your hand dismissively and returning your focus to the unknown number.
And then, a thought popped in your head. Although, your morals were screaming at you to not do it, you were always taught to follow your gut.
And your gut was telling you to get some awnsers.
You could feel your heart stop at your name being mentioned.
They know who you are... was this some old friend? Then why were they talking about you in such a... condescending manner? Your curiosity grows, and now that you knew you were being involved somehow, you decided to risk it.
"...Boyfriend?"
You accidentslly uttered out, and the room was too quiet. "Yeah?" Heizou's voice had you flinching, your face flushed a bright red, looking up at the confused and curious young man sitting next to you with your laptop. "What? I didn't catch that, what did y—"
"Nothing! Nothing! Get back to work, jackass!" You hissed, pinching his forearm.
"Ow! Okay, okay! Anything for you, m'lady." Heizou scoffed sarcastically.
Meanwhile, thoughts were flooding into your mind, and none of them were pleasant— in fact, they were extremely far from it.
They think they're talking to your boyfriend, Kaeya? Did they think your number was Kaeya's? Wait, why were they talking to Kaeya in the first place!?
You took a deep breath, calming your nerves the best you could. You knew what happened if you jumped into conclusions, and last time literally left you broken for days. You had no right to be so possessive or jealous, Kaeya can have friends.
At least, you think this was one of his friends?
It just gets more and more suspicious.
Caught? Caught by you?
You suddenly find it hard to move your fingers along your phone's keyboard, clutching your phone tightly. There was yet a clear conclusion, and still, you could feel your heart slowly breaking into pieces as doubts began to cloud your mind.
It was getting hard trying to keep up the act, but if you wanted awnsers, you had to swallow the unease and press harder.
This was absolutely disgusting.
You grimaced at the text, and your lunch was about to come back out.
Were you really about to do this cringy 'phone sex' bullshit? You really, really don't want to. This was some creepy stranger, who knows you for some reason and thinks they're talking to your 'boyfriend'.
Cursing in your mind, you reluctantly replied.
Your fingers never flew faster towards the block button.
Your phone nearly slipped from your grasp, heart racing at the sight of your own boyfriend's name being mentioned. And suddenly, you felt like you seriously wanted to throw up.
And then, you heard that stupid voice of his. "All done!" 'As if things couldn't get worse...'
Heizou, who had been patiently finishing your essay in silence, pushed your laptop back to you. And as expected, it was pretty much flawless.
When you looked back up at the burgundy haired male, you saw that ridiculously goofy smile of his, waiting for your approval and praise. Like an adorable puppy, waiting for their owner to call them a 'good boy' and hand it a treat.
Words were stuck in your throat, you wanted to thank Heizou, to appreciate him for helping you, to ask for his affirmation that you were assuming things— to ask for his comfort.
"Thanks— Uhm... Y-Yeah..." It was all you could utter out at the moment.
The way Heizou's smile dropped slowly only made you choke on your words more, your mind struggling to piece together a coherent response as more and more thoughts drowned your comprehension.
All you could think about was Kaeya slipping through your fingers again.
"What's wrong?" Your partner asks, concern and worry clear in his eyes— he's seen that expression from you before and it brought out terrible memories.
He made a vow to himself that he'd never see you sad again, and he failed to keep that beautiful smile on your face.
You stood up abruptly, grabbing your laptop and shoving it in your backpack. "Sorry— Sorry, I think, uhm... s-something came up, Kaeya— shit, uh..."
"What did he do?" As soon as you mentioned that bastard's name, Heizou stood up, staring down at you with eyes that were full of pure hatred and resentment towards your blue haired 'boyfriend'.
"Nothing! Nothing! I— I just wanted to see him." You barely managed to stutter out, grabbing your bag and stumbling backwards. "Listen, Heizou, thanks for your help but I-I'm sorry. I know we we're supposed to have a talk with Xiao and Layla today, uh— then uhm... something came up, really! I promise, I'll finish my assignments so I can focus on the investigation next time! I'm sorry, sorry!"
All of what spilled out of your mouth was just an empty excuse and fake promises, you wanted a way out— to see if Kaeya was really seeing someone else.
Was it your fault again? Did you upset him that he was looking for someone else? What have you done this time? Why do you always mess up like this?...
In a rush, you had left, ignoring Heizou calling out for you. He was tempted to chase after you, so you wouldn't have to see your tormentor again.
And as much as he regrets it, he slowly sank back down onto his seat, staring at the open door to the hallway. The sound of your hurried footsteps fading away, before the elevator's 'ding!' sounded, and you were gone. Again.

Try as you might, Kaeya wasn't picking up his phone. All 20 of your attempts to call him went straight to voicemail. And what could you say, really?
You were left quietly begging into your phone, pleasing for him to pick up because you were 'Sorry' and 'Worried'. Even as students roaming around nearby saw your glossy eyes struggling to hold back tears, you were focused on finding your beloved.
And suddenly, your phone vibrates. The screen lit up, a picture of his handsome smile and that familiar name.
"K-Kaeya!"
"Babe?"
You let out a sigh of relief, now sitting at the bus stop, your mind settling on reaching Kaeya's home to confront him. "I'm... I'm sorry, am I bothering you now?" You asked nervously, foot tapping against the concrete paltform beneath you.
"No, no, I'm just at home with Diluc. Uhm... something the matter? Need me to fetch you or something?" He sounded calm, normal to you. It didn't... seem like he was doing anything. And not with anyone.
"Cool, cool, cool, cool, cooool..." You replied, bodding your head absentmindedly. "Well, you..."
And it seems like your words were stuck in your throat once again.
You were going to ask Kaeya about the unknown number telling him they 'love' him, and that you were going to visit him so that the both of you could talk face to face.
And here you were: Chickening out.
"Just... saw something... that made me think of you?..." Your voice barely came out as a quiet whisper.
"Really? Aww, that's sweet of you, [Nickname]~" He cooed lovingly.
"Yeah, so, uh— Just wanted to say that, and... uhm... love you." You spoke softly, as if pleading, for an awnser you'll never receive.
"Love you too." With that, he hung up quicker than he called you.
You lowered your phone, cradling it in your hands while resting them on your lap, looking down to ses Kaeya sending you a heart emoji before going offline.
You were torn, unsure if you should really ask him. Maybe it was an honest mistake? There could always be someone named Kaeya.
"...This is ridiculous." You told yourself through gritted teeth, shaking your head to rid yourself from those thoughts again.
Now wasn't the time for you to keep doubting yourself and your relationship with Kaeya, not after all the bullshit you've been experiencing lately. It was now for an awnser, and you are going to get it one way or another.
The sound of the bus approaching made you lift your head up, watching it slowly coming to a halt.
The door swung open, people pouring out as you stepped inside, taking a seat after paying for the fee. It was going to be a long ride, your mind wouldn't relent on those disgusting thoughts and doubts. But one thing's for sure:
You're going to see him, and you're going to get your awnsers.

A/N: Alas, it only took half a year to bring this out, a personal best I might add—
I am INCREDIBLY sorry for how slow this one came out, I had to go on a hiatus to focus on my studies and wanted a small break to mentally recover. And after that, I realized I completely lost my plot and had to go back, rewriting everything.
I didn't completely change everything, I did do a bit of editing on all of the previous posts, so I highly recommend starting from the beginning, even if it's tedious.
In the end, I realized I really lost my edge, so the writing will seem really bland and awkward— I have been trying to study my own writing and trying to replicate it the best I can, I promise you I WILL START WRITING MORE NOW (But the occasional oneshots might have to be on hold)
