In honor of your new blog I am here with a request đ
I just can't stop thinking about the delinquent x model student dynamic (hs or college AU lol) and I wonder if you have any thoughts on how that would play out w Childe? Maybe reader gets paired w him during bio or chem lab and the reader's like "damn it why him" lmao
If you're feeling inspired I'd love to get a scenario but if you'd rather do hcs then may I ask for Itto and maybe Kaeya to be added to the mix? Feel free to add others if you'd like as well :D thank you in advance!!
I Hate It Here
Feat. Delinquent student! Childe x Model student! Reader (Romantic/Platonic, you choose)
a/n: And childe continues haunting me. I used Ajax since itâs Childeâs real name I hope it isnât too confusing. I had a biology assignment to create a miniature(?) structure of a virus in 10/11th grade. That was the only biology assignment I remember so Iâm using that lol.
Why do we live just to suffer?
You could only watch in horror as the teacher reveals the group for your biology mid term assignments. You felt as if all your will to live suddenly had just flown out of your body.
Childe looks like heâs enjoying himself though. Maybe itâs because heâs getting a guaranteed A or maybe because this gives him the chance to mess with you. Who knows?
Childe, Ajax, Tartaglia whatever his name was. He was your âand every other proper studentsââ worst nightmare. Hell, it would be better if heâd shut up and do nothing but he has a reputation of messing up group works. And to be paired with him for your midterms, your grades were surely going down the rabbit hole.
Heâs quick to move to your side when the teacher instructs for you to sit with your partners. Seemingly way too eager than he usually is for school. It was even a miracle he didnât skip class that day, as if he knew this was going to happen.
Childe puts his arm on the table, hand supporting his chin as he leans forward, facing your unamused face âSo, what are we doing, partner?â. You swear you want to punch that chuckle off his face.
You sighed, attempting to ignore him while taking further notes of the teacherâs instructions. âYou donât have to do this if you donât want to, just donât mess things up.â You tried to sound as docile as possible, not wanting to fight on your first day of group assignment.
âDonât be like that, weâre partners arenât we?â He has the audacity to pout like an abandoned puppy youâd find on the street. âI really wouldnât like having to tell the teacher you canât work with me.â He added, as if to purposely taunt you.
If looks could kill your notebook would be covered in daggers at this point. âFine. We are meeting at 4.â You wrote your address down in a small piece of paper before handing it to him. Stopping your conversation at that you pick up your own notes after, implying you didnât want to talk to him any further.
âAre we gonna fight?â He laughed as if that was the most obvious thing to ask and you had to surpass the urge to âonce againâ punch him.
âJust bring some cardboards and glue.â You sighed, taking a deep breath as to not let your emotions win and brushed off his laughter.
âââââââââââ
â(Y/n)~â That was the 5th time Childe âor Ajaxâ had called your name for the past hour. You were trying to concentrate on creating the structure in front of you, trying not to let him anger you or else you might accidentally smash everything into pieces.
You were surprised when he actually showed up in front of your house on time, with a few lunch boxes he said he cooked himself. You werenât expecting him to show up at all, and cooking is certainly not something you expect a delinquent like him to be good at. That gave you a tiny hope that maybe heâs willing to help you on the project.
Well, you thought wrong as the only thing he has been doing for the past 2 hours was testing your patience.
âYes, Ajax.â You finally answer through gritted teeth, spelling his real name slowly as if to threaten him. This man was, like his nickname, a child.
âTake a small break, will you? Itâs been 2 hoursâ he sighed, leaning back on the sofa as he ate the dessert âyour favoriteâ he had brought earlier. He âtried toâ looked tired as if he was the one who had been doing the work for the past hour.
âWe only have a week to do this, and itâs a one man team.â You roll your eyes as the last sentence escapes your lips. Your hands were busy trying to cut out the cardboards scattered on the floor.
âItâs still a week away. Besides, I didnât purposely group up with you to watch you do boring work.â Childe chuckled, seemingly to enjoy looking at you struggling to cut the material.
âYou didnât whatââ
âWhoops~â He shoves a spoonful of cake into your mouth cutting you mid sentence.
âAjax..â you glared at him, trying to slip his name out through the mouthful of cake.
He laughed, he couldnât help it. Your attempt to glare and puffed out cheeks didnât made you look way harmless than you usually are. Ha was having way too much fun âworkingâ with you, âYou look like a chipmunk.â
âOuchââ you hit his arm with a piece of cardboard attempting to hold your angry expression. As annoying as he was it was difficult to be angry when he had just fed you your favorite cake.
âFine, fine! Iâll help.â Heâs still laughing as if the cardboard attacks didnât hurt him at all.
You squinted your eyes, doubting him. âWeâll see about that.â You threw him the pieces you had marked, gesturing for him to cut them, âThey better be done in an hourâ You mumble, sitting back next to him to work on the next pieces, âor Iâll use them to hit you again.â
âPffttâ not like they hurt.â
âWhat did you say?â
âNothing.â
It was half past seven when you finished your work for the day. Surprisingly, Childe had done his job. The cuts were a little rough around the edges but itâs doable.
âWow, this is.. surprisingly decent.â You said, examining the pieces he had done.
âWhat did I tell you?â He replied, seemingly smug to have received a compliment from you.
âDonât get cocky, itâs still not done âŠbut I guess we can relax for the day. Iâll heat up the stuffs you brought in the microwave.â You got up, attempting to make your way towards the kitchen alone, but of course, as expected, you have a grown man tailing behind you.
âIâll help.â He grinned, not waiting for your agreement before dashing out to the kitchen.
You sighed for the tenth time that day as you follow him. The corner of your eyes caught the figure excitedly jumping off your stairs, you smile, maybe his antics were a little amusing, and maybe, spending time with him wouldnât be too bad.
Hii, I hope everyoneâs doing well. Iâve made a new multifandom blog @izekoi please feel free to follow me there. Iâll be moving to Canada in two weeks time so itâs a bit hectic atm but I have some time to spare XD I got off twitter (again) so Iâm gonna pick back my writing skills. I have a few drafted and Iâll post them in my new acc soon. Thank you so much for supporting me thus far~
May Dainsleif be added of thatâs ok? Sry about thatđ
When youâre small
Feat. Xiao, Scaramouche, Dainsleif (romantic)
Part 1 (Albedo, Diluc, Childe, Zhongli, Kaeya)
a/n: added Dains as you requested <3
â Xiao
Xiao noticed how especially small you were since you first met but he didnât think much about it.
It was when you two had gotten close that he notices just how small and fragile you are, his protective tendencies immediately shot up a hundred times.
Loves cradling you in his arms, you fit perfectly on his lap as he protects you from whatever evil the world might hold.
Personally, Xiao thinks itâs convenient since itâs easier for him to drag and carry you out of trouble if needed.
Again, perfect height for forehead kisses. Heâs a little less affectionate than albedo but he does like sneaking one or two when you both are snuggling or watching the night view from wangshu inn together.
â Scaramouche
Youâll never hear the end of it. Never. He makes fun of you whenever he can. Purposely crouching down when talking to you, intending to annoy you.
Heâs not even that much taller than you yet he acts like heâs 10 feet tall or something. Even though those shoes of his make up like half of his height.
Heâs sooo delighted that he has someone shorter than him. That means he can bring you up whenever the other harbingers make fun of him.
The fastest way to shut him up is by kicking his leg. Just kiss him if he gets angry.
Speaking of kissing, he grows smug whenever he has to lean down to kiss you, sometimes teasing by having you stand on your tip toes (most of the time heâs also standing in his toes lol)
â Dainsleif
He swears, he isnât purposely trying to poke fun at you. Heâa tall himself and heâs worked against the abyss for hundreds of years. Their average body tend to be bigger than a humanâs. He isnât doing it on purpose when he misses your petite presence when youâre only right in front of him.
He doesnât say much about it, although sometimes the word âcuteâ runs through his mind when heâs talking to you.
He knows youâre strong enough to defend yourself but he canât help but be protective of you. He doesnât word it out but you notice from the way he always use himself as if he was a human shield around you whenever trouble arises.
Like Zhongli, Dainsleif is a little dense. He wonât notice you unable to reach something until you ask for his help. That or he just has no idea what to do without possibly offending you.
Will carry you on his back if you ask, you are so tiny it wonât be much weight to him at all. I think you can even sit on his shoulder (like is it just me or those are wide)
Feat. Diluc, Kaeya, Venti, Albedo, Childe, Zhongli, Xiao, Ayato Part 1 (Kazuha, Thoma, Itto, Gorou) please view here
Sometimes, Dilucâs kisses are brief. He leaves a short peck on your lips when he says goodbye for work or when he wishes you goodnight. Most of the times, itâs passionate, deep, not necessarily sensual but you can sense the burning passion within his heart. He kisses you lovingly, a hand at the back of your head and the other circling your waist. You always notice the hazy look in his eyes as he pulls you in for another kiss. In a casual setting, however, Diluc loves giving you forehead kisses. As much as he adores your lips, forehead kisses provide him with a warmer âmore innocentâ kind of intimacy.
Kaeyaâs kisses are playful, teasing. He loves putting you on the edge, ghosting his lips right above top of, urging you to close the distance. You can feel him chuckle of satisfication when you do. He kisses you until youâre weak on your knees, knowing just how to make you give in. Although there are times when you feel his desperate kisses. He hides his vulnerable side deep within but sometimes you canât help but notice it slip out as he presses his lips against yours, pulling you into a tight embrace as if heâs afraid youâll disappear the moment it loosens.
Venti kisses you in the most unexpected times. Sometimes he appears put of nowhere âlike suddenly dropping down from the skyâ to give you a short peck on the lips. His kisses are short and playful. Youâll feel him smile or laugh through the kiss. Venti is rather touchy, youâll find him clinging to you every chance his gets. Whether itâs just a simple touch of your hand or a small kiss on your nose. He loves kissing every part of you, especially your face. You can never guess where heâll kiss you next. He likes surprising you, seeing you flustered always makes him want more and he knows just how to push your buttons.
Albedoâs kisses are soft, youâll feel his lips move slightly against your as he tugs a hair-strand behind your ear. Theyâre not necessarily long but short enough to make you want more. Heâs gentle, seeming to be naturally poised in everything he does. Sometimes youâre confused as to how he can always gracefully sweep you off your feet to kiss you. He finds kisses on the lips very intimate and would often prefer settling for your forehead. Although if he ever finds you asking or urging to kiss his lips heâll turn a bit smug. Heâs not necessarily a tease but youâll find him pointing out things thatâd make you embarrassed on purpose.
Childeâs kisses are carefree, a little clumsy, and a little wild at times. You might think he seems skillful but he actually doesnât have much experience with romance. You might feel him grin or laugh through the kiss. He would light up every time he catches you from the corner of his eye something inside him always yearning for your attention. Heâll pester âitâs his way of asking for permissionâ but wonât necessarily push if you refuse. Kissing you is one thing but his sudden blush and confused moment of silence when you kiss him instead is a treat to see. Though it only takes a moment for him to recover and pester you for more.
Zhongliâs kisses are the kind that makes you feel content and safe. His presence alone is enough to make you feel secure but even more when heâs holding you ever so gently as he plants a soft kiss on your lips. Most times an innocent loving kiss on the lips, of course, unless you ask for more. He has a habit on kissing you during certain times of day, usually before he goes to work or after. Heâd usually ask before initiating anything and prefers to keep things private. He has been alive for thousands of years but in terms of romance, most of his experience comes from observing others.
At first, Xiaoâs kisses are hesitant. His touches are gentle, fleeting, almost like heâs afraid heâll turn you to dust the moment he lays his fingers on you. As he grows more comfortable, however, his kisses grow deeper, more desperate, more possessive. Heâs the type to go rough without realizing it at times. Heâd ask for permission before kissing you. Although not vocally he wants to make sure he isnât hurting you. When he grows a little more content with your relationship, youâll receive gentler kisses, once he accepts that you wonât disappear or leave him like many from his past, heâll grow to trust you more.
Ayato is a very graceful, yet cunning gentleman. Heâs gentle most of the time, making sure youâre comfortable with his pace. However, he has this tendency to push you to initiate things rather than going straight away for a kiss himself. Sometimes heâll tease you, stringing up words thatâd make you yearn for him. Heâd chuckle as you attempt to pull him into a kiss. His kisses are sweet, considerate, yet playful. Sometimes youâll feel him teasingly lick your lips then pull away right after as if to taunt you. When he does kiss you first, he has a habit of putting his hand on your chin, tilting you towards him so he can catch your lips properly.

Omg I love all of your Christmas prompts asgdhshdh uhhhh may I request 16 with Childe bc he'd def fuck up decorating the tree and end up all tangled in lights lmao XD
Hc or scenario is fine, whichever you're feeling!
Since you said whichever Iâm going with uh.. what is this.. semi-scenarios put in bullets(?) đ I feel like I suck at full scenarios lol. No beta read we die like m
Prompt #16: âWhy are you tied in Christmas lights?â
Pairing: Childe x Reader (Romantic)
Note: in case anyone didnât know, Childe has an older sister, an older brother, and two younger siblings (Tonia and Teucer) which I will feature in this story. (I might have remembered wrong though please do tell me if I made a mistake)
âWhy are you tied in Christmas lights?â Is your first words upon waking up that very morning. Childe had dragged you to spend Christmas at his place in Snezhnaya. However, you did not expect waking up to the boy being covered by blinking lights.
âGood morning, (y/n).â You heard his mother greet you. What baffled you more is how his entire family acted like this was completely normal. With his older siblings gathered around the table and, Teucer and Tonia running around, flapping Christmas decorations in hand.
âDid you have a nice sleep?â You heard him ask as if he wasnât lying flat on the ground whilst his younger siblings cover him in more decorations. âUh, yeah. Looks like yours was good too.â Your reply earned a chuckle from him.
âHe wanted to get the decorations ready for you.â his older sister teased whilst pouring an extra glass of hot milk for you, beckoning you to join them on the table. âLeave him be.â
âTeucer wanted me to put up the lights.â Childe nervously laughed. âBig brother Ajax tripped and now weâre decorating him!â Teucerâs enthusiastically added, jumping up and down as he takes your hand âLetâs decorate big brother.â
âYou and Tonia go ahead and have fun doing that.â You giggled, scooting down to their height. Both siblings pouted at your rejection, âBut you have go play with us outside later.â âSure, sure.â
âAnd good morning to you too. Make sure to get yourself out of that before eve.â You leaned down ruffling Childeâs hair. He chuckled again, his usual confident smirk plastered on his features.
âAre they going to kiss?â You hear Tonia whisper, âEewwâ Teucerâs reply was a bit too loud in comparison to his sisterâs voice.
âA kiss would be niceâ
âNo.â You blurted out, suddenly self conscious on the five pairs of eyes staring at you.
Hii!! Sorry for disappearing again, was busy since itâs Christmas. I have a few Christmas writings in my drafts. Iâll post them tomorrow.. I feel like I can faint anytime soon right now lol. Anyway what I wanted to talk about was that Twst and Enstars are both getting an english release!! So I will definitely be making a multi fandom blog outside of this one. If any of you are interested to get into the series feel free to hmu with questions or about any concerns. Despite the gatekeepers, Iâd love to spread more of the things I love~ I might open matchmake requests on my other blog to celebrate the occasion >< (also to help people find potential favorites)
ahhh itâs a shame mhyk doesnât interest you bc itâs been a recent obsession of mine and there arenât a lot of writers for it on tumblr but itâs okay there are a lot of mobages to choose from! as long as you find something that you like! hypnosis mic has rappers, project sekai is a vocaloid game with original characters, obey me is sexy demons, tears of themis iâm sure youâve heard of it, for male idols i know idolish7, sidem and uta no prince sama are still active, for female idols thereâs idolm@ster cinderella girls or shiny colors as well as love live, for bands thereâs bang dream and argonavis, though argonavis are having a reboot next year. these are just the most popular ones i can think of but there are a lot of other more niche mobages of course (but twst and enstars are the giants among josei muke mobages)
Iâve actually⊠played all of above.. except hypmic but I see it a lot LOL sorry for the late reply! I was busy with exams and Christmas preparations now that itâs all over Im gonna take a long nap and get back to answering asks~ I lost interest with obey me too despite having spent a few bucks there⊠Tot Iâm still playing but not often since Marius never comes home (rip) but!! Since twst and enstars are both announced to have an english release I think Iâll start with them and slowly expand to other joseis!! Thank you so much for the recommendations~ Feel free to talk more to me abt them if you feel like it
Hello, it's been a long time since I've been here, I must say. I just wanted to drop by and mention that there's a game called A3! that is a mobile visual novel of sorts that is about found family and acting, to dumb it down at least. The English version is no longer being updated but the Japanese version is still up and running. (Also, it's called an otome and there's some playful romance here and there, but it's not really an otome cause there's no true routes or anything. It's mostly about growing relationships.)
I'm also very late to this, but welcome back to tumblr! <33
OHH i know A3 I used to be so crazy about Tenma đ I only followed act 1 though.. I was bummed when they closed the english servers :( I wouldnât say theyâre an otome game though more like joseimuke đ€ not necessarily centered on the romance part. I donât see a lot of their writers here but I might look into it again ><
I might start a new multi fandom blog, Iâll still write here.. but Im not very well-versed in other fandoms.. just twst and enstars, I know abt mhyk but it doesnât really⊠interest me. What other mobages do people play?
For the Holiday Prompts, may I request #13 with Albedo? --đž
ALBEDOOOO this prompt fits him sm đ„ș Iâm honestly not sure how well I executed it but I hope you enjoy~ No beta read we die like me for the past 8 months
Christmas prompts can be found here though Iâm a bit busy bc of uni so I might not get to your request, go ahead and take your chances
Prompt #13 : âWhy is my picture on top of a tree?â
Pairing : Albedo x gn! Reader
Word count : 941 words
Warnings : none
You hung the silver globe on the side of the tree, slowly humming to the light sounds of the childrenâs carol. Your eyes gazed at the christmas lights reflected on the round glass. Smiling in delight, you takes three steps back admiring results of the work youâve put yourself into all evening. The pine tree standing tall in the middle of the room, colorful ornaments decorated it from head to toe, along with colorful lights contrasting to itsâ natural green.
You would be a lot less enthusiastic for christmas is it wasnât for your lover whoâd promised to spend Christmas in Monstadt, instead of in his usual lab in dragonspine. Since he had âan urgent missionâ from Grandmaster Jean, you were left alone with the preparations for christmas eve. Not that you dislike it, since this way youâd be able to give him a small surprise.
You smiled at the thought, eyeing the house youâve decorated since morning. Everything looks in place, exceptâ Your eyes landed on the highest point of the pine pine tree, itâs empty, it seemed lonely without the star thatâs supposed to adorn it.
âWhere did I put itâŠ?â You mumbled, going through boxes of christmas ornaments. How could you forget the most important thing? The christmas tree is never complete without the star on top. Running back to your room, you carefully retraced your steps. You searched under the bed, under the couch, inside the closet. Might you have brought it to the bathroom by accident?
After 30 minutes of looking to no avail, you sighed, throwing yourself on the couch in defeat. Lazily eyeing the table by your couch, you hastily opened itsâ drawer, expecting to find yet another empty one. That was when your eyes landed on the piece of picture. The smile on his features made him seem almost eternal, surrounded by the ice and snow of dragonspine. Teal eyes looking back at you, as the canvas that stood there then peeked from the corner of the frame. Mesmerized by the picture, sudden idea hit you.
You carefully climbed down the chair you were standing on, satisfied with the results of your sudden brainstorm, and just in time too. You heard a click at your door just as your feet hit the floor.
âIâm back.â It was followed by a familiar voice. You quickly set aside the chair and greeted him.
âWell, youâre home early.â You meant to sound sarcastic but a smile made it to your face nonetheless.
âIt took longer than expected. I should apologize but it seems like you had your fun while I was away.â He let out a small chuckle as he hangs his coat, eyeing the house that seemed like it was decorated for no less than a big Christmas party.
âWell, you shouldnât be the one complaining.â Your initial shrug turned into a giggle as he leans in to plant a chaste kiss on your forehead.
Before he could pull back, you managed to brush your lips against his and you feel them turn into a smile. âMissed.â You mumbled, trying to hold yourself from grinning.
âWell, you sound excited.â He said, a light smile still gracing his features. He rarely smiles so much, and due to that some of his colleagues would even find him difficult to approach. But with you, even he notices the way his lips curl, you always amuse him.
âWell, Mr. Chief Alchemist, itâs a little difficult not to be when someoneâs spending their time with you.â You attempted to tease him, playfully going along with his banter.
âIs that why my picture is on top of a tree?â You could feel the pang of embarrassment as he folded his arms, patiently waiting for your answer.
âI lost the star.â You replied.
âAnd I was supposed to replace your star? Interesting, is this something people do nowadays?â He stares up at the sole picture on the tree top, seemingly studying it.
âUh, yeah? I mean technically you are one?â You almost bit your tongue upon realizing how the words that left your lips sounded like.
âSo you put pictures of your lover on the tree because you find them to be the equivalent of stars?â His brows slightly raised, implying that he understood. Well, he didnât, at least you thought he didnât but some things are better left unsaid.
âLetâs leave it at thatâŠâ You mumbled, following his steps so you were beside him.
You heard a sudden chuckle as he pulls you in, lightly kissing your temple. Your eyes landed on the star shaped mark on his neck and you couldnât surpass the urge to touch it, slowly tracing your finger over it. You heard his breath hitch as he feels your skin against his. He says itâs a symbol of his imperfection but itâs oddly one of your favorite parts of him.
âMaybe I should put you on the tree instead.â You joked almost mindlessly.
âDo you think the force of the tree will be able to stand mine? Taking into account the size of the tree and gravity it seems to be almost impossible.â He said, seeming to actually take the idea into account âand I suppose Iâd rather be elsewhere.â He took your hand, making your heart flutter.
âWell, Merry Christmas to you.â You said, trying to mask your bashfulness. He smiles, amused by your reaction, as the soft words left his lips. âMerry Christmas to you too, love.â
You might or might not see your pictures on a Christmas tree next year but nonetheless you wouldnât refuse another chance to spend christmas with Albedo.
