genshin boys reacting to you holding their face like this;
diluc: is slightly confused and a bit stiff but he'll let you. hold him like that for a bit longer and he'll loosen up and melt into a soft smile. definitely starts doing it to you after that
venti: he'll be surprised for a second, but then the adorable bastard giggles (ehe-) but its slightly muffled bc you're squishing his very very squishy cheeks and he's just so cute help
zhongli: soft smile immediately. might remove one of your hands just to hold it and kiss your knuckles. he's so sweet pls-
childe: no listen i just know this man is touch starved but he has no shame and latches on to any affection he gets. closes his eyes and he lowkey looks like a cat thats getting its chin scratched. please stroke his cheek with your thumb. please.
xiao: his first instinct is to pull away, but if you try again he'll let you. will probably mutter something about not getting close to him or useless human rituals or whatever but dont get him wrong, he's enjoying the affection
albedo: i think he would just take it as a kind of greeting? like if you came up to him and held his face like that he'd just look up at you softly and make a little "hmm?" sound as if he's asking what you need. he's so pretty idk about you but id need to take a minute-
bennett: FLUSTERED BABY pls he actually doesnt know what to do with himself. is blushing so hard and doesn't know what to say so he just thanks you??? but he's adorable and it makes you laugh and which will make him absolutely melt and you'll probably end up cuddling
razor: just looks at you slightly confused for a minute but when he realises you're being affectionate he'll like nuzzle into your hand and might try to do it back at some point
chongyun: confused for a second, then he processes whats happening and he is Flustered Baby part 2. less frantic than benny but he can't meet your eyes (unless you grip his face more and make him look at you) and he is definitely overheating pls help him
xingqiu: he takes it very casually bc he absolutely would just do this to you all the time. pulls you in by the waist and gives you a kiss on the nose (kiss him back smh-)
kaeya: does that fuckin chuckle and you end up more flustered than he is. will kiss your wrist and be like "did you need something?" but his teasing smile is softer than usual
scaramouche: pushes your hands away and asks what the hell you're doing. you may have to argue with him a little and hit him with the puppy eyes but eventually he'll just let you do what you want. seems like he's indifferent but he's blushing a little
