When they get fluffy ears/tails

Tw:None!

Characters: Klee, Sayu, Diona, Diluc, Chongyun, Albedo, Childe, Itto

-Doesn’t mind too much, and makes a good use for it

Klee

'Ooh! Fluffy ears! :D This way I can hear if master Jean gets too close. Well, time to go fish blasting! Huh? Of course you’re coming with me. I still need back up if master Jean comes, you know.'

Albedo

'Oh. What a wonderful discovery. I didn’t notice the ears and tail until you told me. Quick Sucrose, get me a mirror so I can sketch this strange bundle of fluff.'

Childe

'You see this hair pin and ribbons, girlie? Hehe. You look so flustered! You know, I thought these ears were annoying at first, but I am now finding them quite useful, as I see they make you blush. C’mon. Help me choose which accessory I should put on next, instead of glaring at me like that.'

-Needs a little comfort

Sayu

'Psst. Over here. Look, under my hood. Yes, I have tanuki ears. They get in the way when I roll around, and I can’t sleep because I can hear everything. Do you know how to get rid of them? No?...Well I guess they do make me look taller.'

Itto (reverse)

'T-traveler!! Gaah- Don’t take off my hat! If you do- No no no no no. Give it back! Why are you laughing? (ノ｀Д)ノ Does it make me look less manly? Adorable?! That’s even worse. And now my horns are gone too… Crouch down? So you can touch my ears? Why don’t I give you a piggyback ride instead. I’m still the strong and awesome Arataki ‘numero uno’ Itto you fell in love with.'

Diona (reverse)

'Traveler! They’re gone… My ears and tail! The proof of my katzlien blood. What am I going to do? What!? No, I don’t need your help.They might appear later. Hmph.'

-Very shy

Chongyun

'Don’t touch my tail! It’s embarrassing. No, no matter how fluffy, or adorable, or…? You don’t like my tail? A-and you wanted to yank it off? …… ( ;⚆ _ ⚆ )... What!? Don’t joke around like that! I actually believed you. Ugh, it’s always you and Xingqiu.ヽ(￢ ͟ʖ￢ )ﾉ'

Diluc

'Traveler…I uh…wanted to talk to you in private. Over here. So, I have a major inconvenience that is stuck to my head. Can you call over Albedo? Or even a doctor. You will? Thank you so much. And please, don’t tell anybody about my uh, condition. Especially not Kaeya.'

REMINDER: Lumi is not Lumine. She is Y/n's alternate universe version.

Warnings: none

“You know, you kind of remind me of something.” Aether places a finger on his bottom lip.

“Dummy! Paimon knows they both look like the statues in Mondstadt!” the fairy yells at the boy. She smiles proudly and crosses her arms.

You and Lumi fall silent at that. She blinks twice, a clear symbol for, 'Should we tell him?' The moment you blinked back at her, the decision was made.

“So, Aether. You travel around different worlds right?” Lumi starts off casually.

He nods warily, having no recollection of telling her such things.

“Well then, you gotta have heard of different dimensions.”

Aether looks at you with a questioning arch of his brow. Nodding in support of your doppelganger friend, he brings his attention back to Lumi.

“I’m aware of the dimensions, although I have yet to travel between them. For now, I only travel from star to star.”

“Well, when I woke up in this world- the both of us” Lumi gestures her hands toward you. “We were called imposters and chased out. That’s when we realized that there was someone else that’s similar to us.”

Aether's eyes slightly widen but he beckons for Lumi to continue.

“So in our world, we're called Y/n, but it seems like our world has different dimensions. And the three of us were sent here…. do you get it?”

Aether nods while Paimon aggressively shakes her head.

“Wait, so you're telling Paimon that both you, and another person were sent here from a different world, from different dimensions? And everyone here thinks that you both are fakes?”

You suppress a smile as Lumi’s right eye twitches. She had repeated everything Lumi had said, as if the way Lumi had said it was as comprehensible as trying to understand a foreign language. In-game Paimon had a knack for repeating everything that was going on. You guess it wasn’t different for the Paimon here either.

“Yes. Thank you for summarizing my words.” Lumi commented dryly.

“No problem!” Paimon smiles, completely ignoring the passive aggressiveness of her words.

“So, the problem is that we are very similar to the god that’s worshiped here. Heck, we even might be the god. But the other Y/n got here first, and now everyone worships her.” you add.

“Then what’s the problem?” Aether questioned, crossing his arms.

“Well, she ordered for us to be killed off.” you say, crossing your arms. “Very rude of her I’d say.”

“K-killed?!” Paimon exclaimed, in her high-pitched voice.

“How come we hadn’t heard of this?” Aether complains.

“Maybe because Mondstadt was too busy with the storm terror issue,” Paimon concludes. 

 “Heh, I’m glad you weren't aware. If you did, our meeting would have turned out a lot differently,” Lumi mutters.

“Why does she want to kill you? Can’t you all work it out?” the male inquires.

“It could either be that she doesn’t have gold blood, so she wants to get rid of us, or she just doesn’t want the competition.”

"Gold blood signifies being a god or whatever." Lumi whispers to Paimon, who seemed to have lost track of the conversation.

“Wait a minute! Didn’t Dvalin say that the whole of Teyvat was oblivious to the obvious? Could he have meant that…?” Paimon squeaks.

“Could be, Dvalin said something about teaching somebody a lesson before he left,” you tell them.

Aether gasps. “Well, this means you could convince Venti! He seemed really worried before I left Mondstadt.”

“I don’t want to go back to the city of freedom for now. Let’s just focus on Liyue.” you say glumly, recalling your hostile welcome to the place.

The four of you continue your adventure in silence, each person having burning questions in their head.

....

You soon arrive near Wangshu Inn, trying to figure out how to attract the conjurer of demons.

“We have to make almond tofu first,” you comment as you eye Paimon yelling out Xiao’s name.

“You know how to make it?” Paimon smiles.

“Yes, we just need almonds and milk. And this isn’t for you, Paimon.”

“Awww… Maybe you could make a tiny portion for me on the side?” 

“Maybe.”

“Maybe? How about-” Paimon’s eyes widen. “Y/n, behind you!!!!”

You feel Aether pull you back as he pulls out his sword.

“You dare copy the face of the divine one?”

You didn’t need to even turn around to know who was there.

The conqueror of demons had arrived.

“Can we talk this out?” Lumi asks the Adeptus.

The jade spear glinted dangerously as he raised it, clearly aiming at her head. 

”Please we can explain ourselves! She has proof!” Lumi points at you.

Xiao runs his caramel eyes over you. You can literally feel the amount of disdain he sends your way with his icy glare.

“Okay then, show me,” he says, lowering his spear.

Lumi raises her eyebrows in shock, she hadn’t expected him to be convinced so easily.

You eye your finger, the one Albedo had pricked just a few days ago. It had a golden scab forming on it. You really didn’t want to mess with it. You halfheartedly raise your wounded hand, showing off the thin cut.

He scoffs. “That is your proof? I don’t believe it.” 

Annoyed with your obvious and last choice, you quickly pick at the scab reopening it, and erasing the effort your finger went through to repair its skin. 

The golden liquid which you called blood faithfully seeps out.

“Eeek! You actually have-!” Paimon squeals. Aether gasps and takes a step back.

You and Lumi keep your eyes on the Adeptus.

He was silent, for a moment, before he whispered, “I knew it.”

“You knew what?” you question.

“That the one I had once called my god was a fake. She had been so mad the first-”

“You what…?” Lumi asks.

“I knew she was a fake,” he repeats. “When I first met her, the first thing she told me was to leave and never come back. She said something about me 'ruining her pity'. I know that the real creator would never say such things.” he crosses his arms attempting to mask his hurt from the imposter's words.

The ‘creator’ was really digging her own grave. 

Lumi continues to question Xiao, but Aether drags you away.

“All right. What else have you been hiding from us?” he demandingly inquires, then he pulls out a slim bandage from his bag.

You smile. “I can run really fast. And it takes longer for me to get tired. Hillichurls and slimes don’t bother me, and rain doesn’t-”

“Hillichurls and slimes don’t bother you?!” Paimon floats around in excitement. “Can you get some of the meat they roast on those campfires? Paimon really wants to try tasting them.”

“I guess.” 

“Paimon, you realize the meat they cook might be flavorless. They don’t have salt or herbs.” Aether points out as he tends to your wounded finger. He earns a glare from the mini-floating thing.

“Meat is meat.” She states.

“Thank you,” you tell the traveler, and he responds by blushing slightly and looking away.

You feel Lumi tap your shoulder.

“Guess what?! No, let me tell you. I just got Xiao to join our side!!” She squeaks.

“Let me be clear, I serve her grace, and her grace only. I have yet to see your proof,” Xiao sneaks up behind you guys, earning another squeak from Lumi, only a more terrified one.

“Hmph, believe what you want to believe,” She mutters, rolling her eyes.

“So Lumi, whose next?” you ask the h/c haired girl.

“Xiangling.” Lumi quickly says.

You narrow your eyes. “You just want to have a taste of her food, don’t you? You’re no better than Paimon,” you accuse her. “...But, I’d be lying if I said that was a bad idea.”

“Well then, let’s go!” Lumi declares, with Paimon and Aether cheering along.

“Are you three dumb or stupid? We can’t let her grace walk into the public like this.” Xiao hisses.

The trio looks down in shame.

The Adeptus sighs. “Luckily I brought a cape. And I also got one for you as well,” he tells Lumi.

“When?” you ask. You hadn’t noticed him leave at all.

“I can teleport, your grace,” 

“Oh, that’s right,” you recall.

Xiao lays out the two black capes on the grassy field before them.

“Eww. No way am I going to put on that dusty piece of cloth.” Lumi complains.

“Then don’t.”

To be fair, the capes were severely worn down. There were holes and gaps in places that were not there when it was first worn. You could even see a hint of scarlet standing out on the dark fabric.

“I’ll wear it,” you say. It wasn’t that horrible, and what other option did you have?

“But what will you wear?” you ask your twin, choosing to ignore the way Xiao’s face slightly lit up when you chose to wear his cape.

“I doubt if this will help, but I grabbed this straw hat from some treasure hoarder back during my travels. It’s pretty big, so I think it will cover your face.” Aether suggests, rummaging through a bag, which you now guessed was his inventory. How else could he fit a hat in there? You gave yourself a mental note to ask him how he got that bag.

“Aha!” he exclaims, as he brought the yellow hat out.

“Thanks!” Lumi takes the hat and places it on top of her head. The fit was perfect- perfect as in it was big enough to cover her face completely. “The straw keeps on stabbing my forehead. And it smells of treasure hoarder sweat. But I’ll survive.” she comments.

“Geez, you’re pickier than Paimon,” Aether grumbles under his breath.

“Hey, I heard that!” The girl and the fairy yelled out.

In the end, the group decided to split up. One group was going to seek help from Xiangling, and the other was going to find Chongyun.

You ended up going with Xiao, since he refused to leave your side, and Lumi went with Aether and Paimon. You were kind of thankful to be able to travel with Xiao. Not only was he extremely attractive, but he could also teleport.

Speaking of teleporting, the only way you could describe it was as weird. You couldn’t see anything during the process, due to the light blinding your eyes, but, what felt weird was how your surroundings changed in a blink of an eye. The temperature changed slightly, the lighting changed, and even the elevation changed. All of it was enough to make you wobble and grab onto Xiao, feeling very disoriented, and he gratefully gave you his shoulder for support.

“Welcome to the Wangmin Restaurant, Adeptus Xiao!” A cheerful voice greeted. “Oh, and you also brought a friend!”

You eye your surroundings, and thankfully the restaurant was empty.

“I’d like to take your orders, but I have to take these dishes away first.”

You feel your cape gets tugged on, and you grab onto it tightly around your head in response.

“Guoba, get off the customer.” Xiangling scolds, but she couldn’t do anything at the moment. She was still holding the used platter. “I’m sorry about my friend, he usually acts calm. I guess he's taken a liking towards you.” 

You try to get the mini god off of you, but it was no use. The stubborn panda(?) was hugging onto your hood like if he were to let go, he would perish or something.

The creature let out some sort of sound. And for some reason you knew what he said.

“Welcome back, your grace.”

Your grip on your cape loosened as your mouth gaped in shock.

Had... Guoba just spoken?

So the reason for me being gone for a long time was because I had a test. Then I kinda lost motivation for writing. And then, I may have forgotten the existence of this account....

I am very very sorry.

I am planning on continuing this storyline, and please bear with me while I write this story... It's been a long time and I forgot most of it😢

☆Onto Liyue★

Next>> First>>

Warnings: None

A/n: to any one confused, Lumi is Y/n!! Not LUMINE!!

“Rock paper scissors shoot!” “Oh, you won again Lumi! You must be good at this.” Bennett says. “I think this has more to do with your bad luck.” Lumi countered. Bennett is the first to spot you. “Y/n! You took so long, we were starting to worry!” They definitely didn’t seem worried at all, playing rock paper scissors, but you don’t say anything about it. “See? I knew you could do it!” She adds, spotting Albedo behind you. Soon, Albedo is all over Lumi asking her questions he’d bombarded you earlier with. “So, you say you’re from a different world? Have you always looked like this?” Lumi looks at your freshly bandaged finger and slightly backed away as Albedo pulled out his dagger. “Woah there, I have golden blood. I’ve already checked.” “How interesting. Two creators.” Albedo murmurs to himself. “Sooooo. Do you think you can convince Mondstadt that we’re not imposters?” Lumi asks hopefully. Albedo almost immediately shakes his head. “I doubt it. Jean seemed to have her mind set on that your grace is the imposter. She’d kill you on the spot.” “Oh.” you, Lumi, and Bennett sigh. “Maybe with a few more allies…” Albedo suggests. “Is there anyone else in Mondstadt?” you ask your friends. “Everyone in the knights of Favonius is out I guess.” Bennett says. “Diluc is stubborn, and Barbara and Rosaria would be really… religious. I wouldn’t count on it that they’d go against their ‘creator’.” Lumi adds. A layer of silence falls on the four of you. A tiny thought rises in your head, but you were quick to push it down. You couldn’t go to Liyue. There were bigger threats there. “…Liyue?” Lumi put forward, stealing your idea that you had just discarded. No one replies. “C’mon guys, I’m sure there’s someone…” “Actually, your grace has a point.” Albedo murmurs. “If you get the qixing on your side, maybe even the adepti, that would be victorious.” “Okay then.” you agree to the idea. “Alright, let’s go!” Bennett cheers. “No.” you and Lumi say. “It’s too dangerous.” you quickly add once seeing Bennett’s crestfallen face. “But I wanted to help…” Bennett trails off. “You can help by gaining some support for us,” Lumi suggests, to which Bennett happily nodded his head. “I will do the same.” Albedo pledges. After saying your goodbyes, you and Lumi start your adventure in Liyue.

Throughout your journey, there were several close calls. After leaving Dragonspine, you both were immediately attacked by the knights. Though none of them had been able to catch you, they had planned a pretty good ambush attack. Another was when Diluc himself had appeared out of nowhere with a fiery claymore. Luckily, he missed by an inch, but that didn't stop him from tackling her to the floor. You had managed to get a hold of his weapon, which was miraculously still burning and drove him back. After the incident, Lumi had a little limp. She promised that she was ok, but you couldn’t help but worry. Other than those scary times, there weren’t that many ambushes. It unsettled you in a way.

The fic you read mentioned way more pain and heartache than this, right? … Rain drenched your surroundings, yet a single droplet of land didn’t drop on you. You couldn’t say the same for Lumi though. She was soaked from head to toe, only being spared from the harsh wind of the storm. Lumi had suggested that you were some type of water god, to only which you replied by laughing. The torrential rains soon stopped and happy chirping arrived from nearby birds. You both approach a clearing, where most of the trees conveniently surrounded you. Lumi lets out a sharp gasp and grabs onto your shoulders. “It’s Dvalin!” she cries out, catching the attention of the sky blue dragon. Sure enough, the dragon was there, in all of its glory. It was mostly covered by the leaves of nearby trees, so you were impressed that Lumi had found Dvalin so quickly. “Your grace.” the mystical creature rumbles. “Dvalin could help convince Venti that we’re not the imposters!” she says excitedly. “Barbatos has yet to recognize you?” it said, cocking its head to one side, slowly. “He kinda let his people chase me out,” you say sheepishly. It lets out a growl of displeasure, which is terrifying by the way. “I shall go and teach him how to respect the divine one. But before that, can I give you the pleasure of flying you to your destination?”

Riding a dragon was NOT pleasurable. For most of the ride, you had to squeeze your eyes shut. At least Lumi was having fun. You could hear her yelling ‘faster’, and ‘higher’ through the roaring wind, which you really hoped Dvalin couldn’t hear. Thankfully, the ancient dragon continued its pace. Soon you could see the yellow-leaved trees of Liyue. “We’re at Dihua Marsh!” Lumi exclaims as you both get off the dragon. The islands were more breathtaking when you could see it in person. “Excuse me, my lady, I shall head back to Mondstadt. And teach that insolent fool a lesson.“ “Ooohhh! Sounds intense.” Lumi replies distractedly, while she looks around her surroundings. The dragon flapped its huge wings and left, and the two of you wasted no time and went forming a plan. Surprisingly, Lumi denied the golden blood plan, which seemed most logical to you. She reasoned that even if it wouldn’t earn the two of you an immediate execution, it would still be a problem if the imposter had the blood of the gods as well. “Let’s go to Wangshun inn.” You raise your eyebrows in disbelief. She wanted to go see the person that was capable of slicing her head off in a mere second! “Are you seriou-” “C’mon, what’s the worse that could happen? Plus, I know you want to meet him as much as I do~” Sighing in defeat, you give her the most annoyed look you could muster. “I swear, you’ll be the death of me.” “I could say the same for you!” “Excuse me?” somebody quips from behind the two of you. Lumi quickly grabs onto your hand, ready to run at any notice. “Uuuh, huh?! Is it just Paimon, or do these two look exactly the same??” “Yeah…” It was Aether and Paimon. “Aether?!” Lumi was the one to overcome the panic first. ”Oh yes, umm I heard that you knew someone named Lumine, so I…” he hesitates. You cock your head in confusion. Lumi seemed to have noticed what was going on. “Ah! Did Bennett or Razor say that my name is Lumi?” she says sheepishly. “You’re…?” the golden-haired boy wasn’t able to mask the disappointment in his eyes. “Oh come on! Do you mean that Paimon was dragged all the way here for a wild goose chase?! You owe me some sticky honey roast, Aether! Don’t you know how tiring it is to keep up with you when you run??” The fairy complained. The boy doesn’t answer. He stares at his feet for a few moments of silence. His mind trails over to the person who led him on this worthless quest. “Excuse me, have you someone named Lumine? She’s my sister… And she also wears outlandish clothes!” Aether inquires the blonde. “I, Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung,… have no idea who you're talking about. Perhaps you should find better luck asking someone else. But do not worry dear traveler, for with my left eye, the Auge der Verurteilung, which sees the threads of fate, I shall search for her.” “Excuse me have you seen my sister Lumine? She wears outlandish clothes.” This time a white-haired boy replies. “Oh! I think I might know! Lumine as in Lumi, right? She’s from a different world, like you!” Aether had perked up at the possible mention of his sibling. “Wait, you know where she is?!” “Yep, in Liyue. Alive and well. At least I hope.” … “So who told you that?” “Bennett.” “Oh. Well, I’m very sorry for this misunderstanding.” “It’s alright.” Aether sighs, placing a hand on his forehead. “We were going to the Wangshu Inn anyways.” “Oh, really!” you perk up. Aether's face pales a bit. “As somebody who has a twin, I know how similar the two of you could be, but your voices!? You sound like a duplicate of her.” he points at Lumi. “Well, I was going to say, maybe we could join your adventure to the Inn!” you say opting to ignore his somewhat offensive observation. “Sounds good to Paimon!” “And I as well!” Lumi peeps. “I guess we could.” Aether consents. You meet eyes with Lumi and she wiggles her eyebrows. You immediately knew what she was trying to say. Aether had no idea about the imposter situation.

☆The great Albedo Kreideprinz★

Next>> First>>

Warnings: blood, a tiny bit tho

The crack in the broken down bridge was way bigger than the one in the game. It was probably around 2 meters wide- and a 10 meter fall.

“If Albedo turns on us, no way we can all get out of there.” Lumi mutters, peering down into the cave.

“Plus, out of the three of us here, only Bennett has a wind glider.” you point out.

“I can stay here, but one of you has to go.” Bennett suggests as he takes out his windglider.

The two of you look at each other.

“Rock paper scissors?” Lumi proposed, holding out her hand. “Don’t worry, I suck at it too.” she adds, noticing you hesitate.

The first three rounds were tough, with the both of you holding out ‘rock’ again.

“Heh, I guess great minds think alike.” Lumi says, her shoulders tense.

You yourself was starting to get sweaty.

“I have no idea what you guys are doing but it looks intense.” Bennett observes from the side.

“Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!” You both say finally getting different results.

Lumi had picked scissors, whilst you… paper.

“Seems like there’s someone worse at playing rock paper scissors than me. I don’t know if I should feel relieved or worried.” Lumi chuckles.

You were too busy mentally preparing yourself to hear her.

Bennett helps you put on the glider and gave you the basic instructions, but you were barely listening.

Should you warn Albedo about Rubedo? But that might change his future. You didn’t want to do that.

“If you really need help, just scream ok?” Bennett tells you.

“Alright.” you whisper, your voice refusing to work.

You feel a hand on your shoulder. “Hey, if you really don’t want to go, I can do it.” Lumi offers.

You shake your head, but thank her for her thoughtfulness.

You glide down the bridge, and there was Albedo in all his glory, calmly sketching.

“Albedo Keideprinz. Prince of chalk, and creations.“ You start off, internally cringing at the way you worded it.

He definitely was startled but replied in his emotionless voice, “Who are you?”

“I’m Y/n L/n.” you start off.

“Y/n. You look awfully similar to our creator.” Albedo muses.

“I have been told that many times.” you say, recalling the days before.

“How did you accomplish this feat?” he asks, to which you reply, “I was born this way.”

“How interesting.” Albedo says, sparking hope inside you.

Maybe this would turn out to be a success?

“Well, I shall listen to your story. Then I will decide whether you were worth my time.” he gestures you over to sit in his chair.

You think hard of what to say. You haven’t actually thought of one.

So you opt for the truth.

“6 days ago I woke up in a forrest in Mondstadt. Uhm, I was originally from another world yet somehow I ended up here. I met… a merchant.” you say not wanting to drag Razor into this.

“The merchant brought me to the city, but I was immediately chased out. Then as I was walking, Kaeya found me.” you cringe at your mistake, hoping that Albedo wouldn’t be too mad about what happened to Kaeya. “Then I met another girl who looked exactly like me.” you finish your story.

Albedo’s eyebrows perk up at you mentioning another look-alike.

“A look-alike… did she come here with you?” he asks.

You hesitate. If Albedo did mean any harm you wouldn’t want to risk having her be hunted here as well.

“You.. don’t have to tell me.”

A moment of silence overtook the cave. Then he spoke again. “Although your story is fascinating, it’ll take more to prove that the current creator is a fake.”

Alarm flares through you as he pulls out a dagger which you never knew he had. You open your mouth ready to let out a scream when he said, “I won’t kill you. But I’ll need your blood. Give me your hand.”

Blood? Why would he need your blood? So many questions ran through your head as you tentatively held out your hand.

Then he slices it. You let out a squeak of terror, as you kind of expected your finger to fall off. But the cut was small, and slightly deeper than a paper cut.

He then squeezes your finger. 

A gold colored liquid began to seep out.

Albedo lets out a soft gasp.

His clothes make a soft crumpling sound as he kneels.

“Your grace, it’s really you.”

I'm planning on making the next chp long!

How To Be A Good Tumblr Author (200 follower special)

┬┴┬┴┤ ͜ʖ ͡°) ├┬┴┬┴

.....

SO. I JUST REALIZED I NOW HAVE (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ 200 FOLLOWERS!✧

So I decided to write down some tips for a writer.

Yay!

1. Have a notebook

It is good to have a notebook or little sticky notes on your ideas. Like how I always think about good stories and forget about them later.(⇀‸↼‶)

2. Be consistent

If you abandon your channel for a while people will lose interest in you smh. Like who would ever get bored of me?(• ε •) So an easy way to fix that is to have a bunch of stories and save them in the drafts. And if you ran out of ideas don't hesitate to say it. People that are nice might send requests!

3. Ideas for when you run out of ideas

If you are stuck and have writers block, post about your adventures in genshin. Funny glitches and memes are always appreciated.

4. Have a plan for ALL of your stories

This is something I am guilty of. I start random stories saying there will be part 2. Then I try to pressure myself to post that part 2 asap. Then I get stressed and don't want to do the story anymore. ヾ(￣□￣;)ﾉ So you see, I do this to myself too often.

5. Make sure to give yourself a break

Because if you don't, you'll get bored of writing stories.

6. OMGGGGGG I was gonna write something from here but I forgot it... Wait nvm I remember now. A trick...

Ok, so I'm gonna tell you guys who got this far into this post a secret. But you mustn't abuse this technique. For those who want a boost in their stories can add as many tags as you can on your stories. I'll do this as an example on this post. You can see what types of tags I put on there.

But DON'T use this technique too much. It gets kinda annoying when you search up xiao fluff and all of a sudden there's a unwanted picture and a big MINORS DNI sign pops up. Kinda ruins your whole fluff reading time.

My methods may not be the best, but they brought me all the way here so...

Anyways thank you guys so much for 200 followers!! TwT I'd never thought I'd get this far.

Xiao Hanahaki Disease

Modern Au!

Tw: Death, angst

Characters Included: Lumine, Xiao, Ganyu

Hanahaki Disease

Xiao looks worriedly at his phone. You would have usually picked up by now. How could he have been so ignorant? Xiao had been paying so much of his attention to Lumine.

Yes, Lumine.

The girl who picked up Xiao's broken heart and taught him how to love.

But she laid it back down as soon as she had touched it. Now Lumine had went separate ways with him, riding a boat all the way to Inazuma. Only Morax knows when she would come back. So he decided it would be better to just part ways.

Guiltily looking at the phone as it rings, he frowns as it turns to voicemail. You were probably just busy. You weren't... mad at him were you?

But if you were, Xiao couldn't blame you either. He would hate himself too.

Xiao just wanted to hear your voice. Voicemail wouldn't do. He calls again for the second time. Then the third. The fourth. Fifth..

You were probably ignoring him, he sulked in his own thoughts. He had to make things right.

Xiao picked another phone number. Ganyu. It was the only other female contact he had in his phone, aside from you and Lumine. He was going to need some help for this.

His finger hovers over the call button. The last time he called Ganyu was... over 5 months ago! Xiao knew he was bad at socializing, but wow, just wow.

He then sees your name along with it saying the last time you talked was a month ago. The only recent number was Lumine's, 3 days ago.

Xiao quickly pushed to call Ganyu. He wanted to talk to you ASAP.

Ganyu picks up immediately. “Hello, this is Ganyu speaking.” Her gentle voice caught Xiao by surprise. Another reminder of how anti-social Xiao was.

“Uhhh, it’s me.” Xiao responded awkwardly.

“Oh hello Xiao.” Ganyu recognized XIao just by his voice. But something in her tone had changed.

“I was wondering if you talked to Y/n recently.”

There was a long pause until she replied, “Tell me what happened between you two.”

“Um… we stopped talking after I started dating Lumine and…-”

“What’s making you want to start talking to her now?” she interrupted.

“Well Lumine and I broke up and I wanted to reconnect with…oh…” Xiao finally realized what it looked like.

“I’ll help you when you get better intentions.” Ganyu said ready to hang up.

“W-wait!”

Ganyu pauses. Did his voice just crack?

“Please, I just want to talk to her…”

“...” “...”

“...”

“...”

“...She locked herself up in her house, Ok? It’s been a couple of days and she hasn’t been responding to my texts.”

This might have been worse than Xiao thought.

“I’ll go talk to her. And Ganyu?”

“Yes?”

“Thank you.”

Xiao hangs up without saying anything else.

Then he heads over to your home.

Xiao knocks on the door. But you don't answer.

Worried, he teleports inside.

Then he sees you. Surrounded by flower petals.

"Y/n what happened? Are you ok...?"

Why did Xiao even bother to ask? He knew exactly what happened.

Why? Because it happened before. But this time it was different. He was actually losing someone he loved.

His chest tightened and he coughed.

A trickle of blood dripped down his lips.

This was what they called karma wasn’t it?

The Balladeer's last friend

3.1 leaks or is it 3.2?? The one with Scaramouche's backstory

“The first to betray me was a god.” 

That perks your interest, and you look up, momentarily distracted from the batch of flowers you were playing with. Those 8 words released a floodgate of questions through your head, yet you stay silent and let the boy continue with his story.

“My creator… my mother.” he talks as if he was merely telling a tale, but you can see the fresh hurt in his eyes. “Valuing strength above all, she saw no worth in me, and I was discarded.”

“The second was a human.”

“My family… my friend,” he says in a slightly lighter tone, yet you doubted that the outcome would turn for the better. You were right. “Consumed by fear, he saw me as an abomination.”

“But I’ve found you, my friend. You are exactly like me.”

With a rustle of his white sleeves, he raises his hand to touch yours. You reach out your hand as well, and you couldn’t help but notice how big his hands were compared to yours. Although, you were still a child after all.

“A hope for the future… a fledgling barely out of the nest.”

“Well, I promise to never leave you, Kuni!” you declare, earning you a smile from him. He was pretty when he smiled. You wanted the rare occurrence to happen more.

Nonetheless, his smile seemed wary. So, you bring out your pinky.

“Pinky promise!”

That ought to do it. This was the most supreme method of promising something.

Indigo eyes crinkle as another smile graced his face. “Pinkie promise,” he repeats and loops his finger around yours.

You laugh along with Kuni until your giggles of joy turn into harsh coughing.

You’d assured Kuni that you were all right since you had these coughing fits since you were little, but you didn’t tell him that it was getting worse. That would only make him worry more for no reason. Plus, you did a pinky promise, right? You would never break one of those. Or else, something terrible would occur. So you did your best to hide the pain, just for his sake.

Kunikuzushi loved you. He cherished you. He saw you as the best thing that has ever happened to him. 

Scaramouche hated you. He despised you. He saw you as the catalyst to his suffering.

But even how much so he loathed that very face that lied to him, he couldn’t help but feel the pang of grief, as he saw your lifeless body in a pile of Sakura flowers, peacefully put to rest.

☆Identity Crisis Solved★

Next >> First>>

Warnings: One teeny tiny suggestive username. But that's it!

The three of you finally finish the first part of the adventure. Get to Dragonspine. The trek was far, and Bennett kept on asking for food breaks. Although it had been three days, both you and Y/n felt no hunger.

It was on the fourth day when the three of you finally reached the steps of dragon spine. Bennett was on the brink of fainting from exhaustion, and you were a little tired as well. So you all took a nap before your treacherous journey to climb the rocky mountain. When you came too, Y/n brought some apples she found while you and Bennett were resting.

She explained that she couldn’t cook since the smoke would bring unwanted attention. As soon as the three of you were ready, you took your first steps on Dragonspine. “Huh, that’s weird.” Bennett comments. “It’s not cold at all.” Bennett was right. Dragonspine should be way colder if it was frigid enough to kill your characters. “That’s another reason to believe that we are the true creators,” Y/n says proudly. Bennett’s eyes filled with awe for the two of you.

Y/n’s words stick in your head. Creators. Were there multiple creators in Teyvat? And what if the imposter was an actual creator? “Y/n?” Bennett waves a hand around your face. “You okay? You look a little pale.” “I’m fine,” you say touched by his concern. “We’re almost there. I think.” Bennett adds. “We have to do something with our names. It’s confusing.” Y/n suddenly says. “What about Y/n 1 and Y/n 2?” Bennett suggests earning a disgusted look from the other girl. “No way! Imagine you have a twin and you’re Bennett 1 and he’s Bennett 2,” you say trying to help show Bennett why his idea wasn’t… favorable. His face scrunches up in horror at the thought. “That sounds like some science experiment.”

“You shouldn’t say that here. Not while he’s around.” Y/n raises a finger to her lips and narrowed her eyes. You doubt you’d ever seen such an expression on your own face before, so it felt weird seeing one on hers. “He? Who is he?” Bennett says with a look of concern, he looks over his shoulder as if he expected ‘him’ to pop out of nowhere. “Rubedo.” “Rubedo?” Bennett asks. “Albedo’s-” “Maybe Bennett hasn’t met him yet.” you interrupt. Y/n’s mouth moves to say a small ‘oh’. “Is this some godly stuff I’m not supposed to know about?” Bennet guesses. “Yes, it’s about your future,” Y/n emphasizes the future part, waving her hand around Bennett’s face. “Now I want to know what you’re talking about.” Bennett pouts, as he crosses his hand over his chest.

“Maybe we should create nicknames for each other,” you say changing the subject. “Or… Oh. I was going to say to use our genshin account names, but mine's ‘Xiaoeatmyass’ so… let’s scrap that idea.” Y/n said. “Xiao eat my ass?” Bennett asked. “Don’t think too hard about it,” you tell him. “Ooooh! We all can call you Y/n, but then call me Lumi!” Y/n says excitedly. “You don’t know a Lumine do you?” “Not that I’m aware of,” Bennett says. “Ok then let’s go with that.” you agree. “What about your looks?” Bennett asks. You tie your hair up into a ponytail and give him a thumbs up, which he returns with a smile. “We’re all set!” ‘Lumi’ says. You then continue your journey.

The way this story is spaced out is really bothering meeeee.

☆THE CREATOR!?★

Next >> First>>

Warnings: None

You never imagined someone could look so similar to you. It was looking directly into a mirror, but somehow it felt different. She radiated confidence you could never have.

“Are you the creator?” you whisper. Something told you that she wasn’t, and the way she shook her head confirmed your suspicions.

“Creator as in the ancient god that created Teyvat and stuff? No. I thought you were… never mind. I’m Y/n L/n nice to meet you.” She sticks out a hand towards you. 

“I’m- my name is Y/n L/n too.” you reply.

She smiles. “I guess we share more than our looks.” then her eyes drop down to Kaeya.

“I shouldn’t have kicked him that hard. Oh well, I’ll go drop his body off near the bridge. That’ll teach them Mondstadter’s to not mess with us.”

“Wait!” you tell her. You had so many questions. Where was she from? Why was she here? “If you’re not the creator then who are you?” You chose to go with.

She side eyes you as she was busy hauling Kaeya on her shoulder.

“I got Isekai’d here. Just like you, but I have no idea why we look like each other. Maybe alternate universe stuff?” She starts shuffling off in the direction you came from. “If you go further, Razor and Bennett will be there, make sure you introduce yourself though!” then just like that, she leaves you there.

Eventually, you take her advice and head deeper into the forest.

True to her word, there stood the two boys.

“Y/n? You’re back already?” you hear Bennett say. His signature band-aide on his nose looked so adorable!

“Y/n?” Razor repeats hesitantly.

“I’m not… well I am but. Uhm I’m Y/n but different from the one you know.” you try explaining.

“Huh?” Bennett scratches his head.

“Razor knows.” Razor says while sniffing the air. “You smell… different. You are the one Razor met first.”

“You understand what she’s saying?” Bennett asked Razor.

“Yes. Razor was bringing her to Mondstadt. Then Razor got hungry. So Razor went hunting. Then Razor saw Y/n running.” He explains.

“Well then where is-” 

“Right here benny boy!” She appears from no where.

You and Razor jump in surprise. That girl was good at sneaking around. Bennett’s eyes looked like they were going to pop out as they traveled to you then her.

“Yeah we look alike. On to the next subject.” The girl said leaving Bennett to wonder on his own. “We have to convince more people to be on our side. I don’t know if there being the two of us will strengthen our point, but we have to try.”

“I was thinking of either Albedo or Diluc.” you present your thoughts from earlier.

“Albedo and Diluc… maybe not Diluc since I just beat up his brother. And Dragonspine makes it harder for the knights to follow us.” Y/n says.

“You beat up Kaeya?!” Bennett exclaims, and he only receives a sly smile from her.

“Razor won’t go. Don’t like cold.” Razor speaks up.

“Don’t worry Razor, we’ll probably take Bennett. His element would be really helpful in that snow-cursed place.”

“Y-you’d really take me?” a smile grows on Bennett’s face.

“Of course.”

“Oh I thought you wouldn’t take me because of my bad luck.”

“I don’t believe in luck. Only hard work.”

“Then I’ll try my best!”

“Guys.” you interrupt their little pep talk. “What if Albedo doesn’t believe us?”

“There’s always Rubedo.” Y/n gives you a wink.

“Huh? Who’s Rubedo?” Bennett asks as you stare in disbelief.

This girl definitely knew more than she let off.

☆Who is she?★

Next >> First>>

Warnings: None

The forest was dark, just like the night before. As you dejectedly walk upon an old dirt trail, you recall what was written in the fanfics. There is an imposter, and you have to defeat them. In order to do so, you need allies. 

Your mind trailed over to Razor. He didn’t threaten you with any violence did he? Although, he wasn’t a popular pick. You liked him and all but, if there ever was a case you did get captured, you doubt he’d be able to help.

You scour your mind over your choices. It had to be in Monstadt. Maybe Albedo? Or Klee, or Diluc, or Kaeya-

“My my, who might you be?”  You knew who the person was before you turned around to face him.

It was Kaeya, great. He didn’t seem to be mad, but with him, you could never know. He wasn’t pointing his sword at you so you guess that was a good sign.

“Oh?” he inquires. (Not me imagining his voicecrack when he says that hugjeufjakldfhda) “You look similar to someone I know.” He narrows his eyes. “Should I be worried?”

“Maybe so, but you should be more worried about the choice you have to make.” you tell him. Ok, you were going to take the knowledge route.

His blue eye widens slightly, but he covers his shock and continues his facade.

“Tell me Kaeya Alberich, why are you doing this?” you question, wanting to know at least something the fic you read didn’t mention. 

“Because you had the nerve to even think of copying our divine creator.” he spats out.

“I might look like the creator but have I ever said that I was?” you counter.

“... copying her looks is enough for punishing.”

“But to kill? Even if I have no control over how I look? That’s pretty cruel if you ask me. And the creator is encouraging this? I thought she was supposed to be kind and forgiving.”

Doubt flickers through his eye, and just for a moment, you think you won.

“Do not question her grace’s choice.” Kaeya pulls out his sword.

Next thing you know Kaeya swings his sword above your head, and if it weren’t for your godly abilities, you doubted you’d be able to dodge that.

Running away from him was pretty easy. You had a pretty good distance between the two of you when you decided that you could still convince him. You stop for a moment and eye his running form struggling to catch up.

“Hey! Why don’t you take off that eyepatch, I know you can still see from that eye of yours.” you yell. Then you run another meter or so. After spouting a few sentences of lore, you realize he isn’t going to give up. So, you decide to bluff.

“I know how to make Diluc forgive you.”

Kaeya skids to a stop.

“You do?” he asks with a sliver of hope masked in a layer of annoyance.

“Uh, well if uh, I read some more lore and stuff, I guess?”

His sword drops with a clang as he runs up to you. Then he stares you dead in the eye. “The only reason I’m trusting you for this is because you were right about the other stuff-”

Kaeya gets cut off as someone drop-kicks him, and he falls right in front of your eyes. But what shocked you was that attacker was… was…

“Was Kaeya giving you trouble?” she smirks and flips her hair over her shoulders.

☆A trip to Mondstadt★

Next >> First>>

Warnings: None

You screech out in fear, tossing the poor bundle of hydro out of your lap. Fortunately, it bounces on the ground, unharmed.

“Y-you speak?!” you stutter.

The slime just bounces around as if it thought being tossed around was fun.

“Yes. Razor speaks.” you whip your head around so hard it hurt your neck, but you hardly had any time to worry about that. Surely enough, a man with bright red eyes and tousled white hair stood there. 

“Razor!”

He seemed to be at a loss for words as your eyes met. After a moment of hesitation, Razor locks his eyes with the hydro slime bouncing happily around at your feet.

“Your grace.” he says, with a look of respect filling his face. “I thought you were in Snezhnaya.”

Your grace? You’ve heard about that somewhere before. This sounded similar to one of the fics you read. You hardly remember anything about it. Just that you had a twin and it was angst fic. You try to calm the giddy feeling inside yourself. This is the first character from Genshin you ever met! 

“Well Razor, if you’d be so kind can you lead me to Mondstadt?” you say trying to keep the mood casual. Yet your tone failed you, exposing all of your excitement.

Razor seemed to not mind and gladly accepted your request. He leads you through some bushes. After a winding path, you finally find some familiar ground. You could have recognized these paths if not for you spending so much time in Inazuma and Liyue.

“Thanks Razor, I think I can go to the city from here.” you say, as you didn’t want to drag him all the way to Mondstadt, only for him to have to go all the way back to the forest.

But strangely, he wasn’t there.

“Razor?” you call out to your guide, but he was nowhere to be found. You sigh, feeling a twinge of betrayal from his sudden disappearance. But it wasn’t like you were hopelessly lost. You make your way through a dusty path, and you could see the city of freedom in the distance.

Like a hyper kid that has had too much sugar, you pick up your pace, and soon you’re at the bridge. Laughing in delight, you run through the flock of pigeons. They flap around in panic, as expected, but what was strange was how they assembled back together as if nothing happened. You stomp around again, only for the strange phenomenon to be repeated.

“Wow miss! The pigeons don’t fear you at all! You must be a kind person.” a child no taller than your waist remarks.

“Thanks Timmy.” you say glumly. The praise wasn’t as satisfying as scaring the pigeons away, but it would do. You walk closer to the front gate when you realize your slip-up. Timmy doesn’t know you yet you said his name. Reminding yourself to be more careful, you enter the gate into the bustling streets of Mondstadt.

It was as magical as when you first were introduced to Mondstadt in-game. There were more people walking around, and there was chatter of all sorts. You feel giddy like a little child on Halloween. Where should you go first? You weren’t able to take even 5 steps more into the city until someone starts to yell.

Oh great. It was that no good simp, Donna. What was she so mad about?

“YOU!” she shouts behind you. “YOU DARE COME BACK AFTER WHAT YOU’VE DONE!”

The people around you start whispering. All that happy chatter from before dried up into a cold atmosphere. Then another piece of information unlocked into your brain, a little too late you’d say. This was one of those imposter fics. And people like you weren’t so welcome in Teyvat.

Turning back to where you came from, you dart out of the castle gates as quickly as you could. You were aware of the commotion behind you as the guards start chasing you. The pigeons scurry out of your way as you race past them. Lucky or unlucky you, they pile back up, blocking the way of your pursuers.

“Get her!” someone yells behind you.  Keeping your eyes forward, you try to think of a plan. You mustn’t let them catch you! As you dashed past the domain, you backtrack a bit. Maybe you could hide in there for a while. It would be the last place they’d look for you.

Racing to the doors, you quickly enter your hiding place. Inside the domain was a bit different than you imagined it to be. There was more light than you recalled there being, and it was warm. You turn back, then you realize your mistake. In order to get out, you had to finish the domain. With monsters. Aaannnddd you had no weapon. Great.

Your mind flashes back to the slime from earlier today. It didn’t seem to want to harm you. Maybe it was the same for other slimes.  And if you got desperate, you could just shove some hillichurls off the… you shiver at the thought. 

You’ve never killed anything larger than an insect before. Your stomach growls, louder than anything you’ve heard before.  You recalled the barrels here having lettuce…

You weren’t that far into the domain when you encountered the hilichurls. The barrels you’d looted from before were generous enough to give you an apple and a bow and some arrows. Not that you knew how to use them. 

You shakily nock an arrow to the one-star bow. Aiming with a shaky grip, you release the arrow. It falls a few feet in front of you, pathetically. And to make matters worse, it alerted the hillichurls. They run over to the arrow, and you boy when you said you ran. You ran fast enough to make a pro-athlete jealous.

You stare incredulously at your legs. None of the fanfics mentioned you having supernatural abilities.  If only you could fly over your problems, right? You silently will yourself to magically grow wings. But nothing happens. At least you tried.

You feel a slight nudge against your leg, and you will yourself not to screech. There, a pyro slime, way bigger than hydro slime before, bounced. You could feel the waves of heat it emitted. Then behind it you saw a hillichurl, holding out the arrow you had left behind. It lowered its head and held the arrow like an offering, willing you to take it. Unsure of what to do you take the arrow back and mutter a small thanks.

The hillichurl does a small happy dance and runs back to where it came from, with the slime following closely behind it. You knew being the creator of Teyvat meant that all animals respected you but that was bizarre. You still didn’t want to take any risks, so you use your newfound abilities to dash all the way to the exit. To your relief, the doors opened automatically, not needing you to defeat the monsters. When you leave the domain, you are greeted with a dark sky and a bright moon. It was nighttime. There must have been a difference in the way time flowed here because your whole adventure felt like it took half an hour.

Making sure the path ahead of you was clear, you head on back to the forest.

☆A traveler from another world★

Next>>

Surprise, surprise. You’ve stumbled upon a magical world called Teyvat. There’s just ooonnnee catch. Everybody there wants you dead! Well, at least your not the only one…

Warnings: none

You hadn’t realize you’d fallen asleep. You slowly sit yourself upright, drowsily examining your surroundings. Vibrant blue plants that softly glowed in the moonlight, and trees with dark trunks and lush jade-colored leaves adorned with light reddish fruits you knew all to well as Sunsettia. Sunsettia? SUNSETTIA?!  You ogle at the fruit as if it were a sacred relic. There weren’t supposed to be Sunsettia’s here… That’s when you realized. Before you fell asleep you were at home. Now, you were in some type of forest. A forest filled with things that weren’t supposed to exist. Not in real life. Your shock slowly grows into excitement. There was only one place you knew that had Sunsettia’s and lamp grasses. Teyvat!

You ponder among your thoughts. There were so many thing you wanted to try! You hurry over to a batch of lamp flowers and picked off one of the stems. It seemed to glow brighter as you marveled at how pretty it was. Using the plant as a flashlight, you venture deeper into the forest, hoping that it was the right direction to Mondstadt.  Your “flashlight” eventually died out, and you were left to your own defenses. You tried continuing, but after tripping over your own feet for what seemed like the hundredth time, you finally gave up. Since you didn’t want to sleep in pitch black, you ventured a little further to find a place with some moonlight. After a quick inspection, you find a spot covered in lamp flowers. Satisfied with your discovery, you find a place to lay down. You weren’t necessarily used to sleeping outdoors, but it’s not as if you could complain.

Your eyes start drooping as you continue staring at the cloudy night sky. When you arrive in Mondstadt tomorrow, you were definitely going to scare off Timmie's birds!

Soon you get lost in your thoughts, oblivious to the two shooting stars that lit up the night. 

When you came to, it was already noon. You look around your surroundings. It was completely unrecognizable. Had you moved again? Blue, purple, and pink flowers bloomed around you, almost covering you entirely. There were squirrels running around and- Oh my. Was that a slime in your lap? The blue slime makes no move to attack. On further inspection, you realize it was sleeping?! You poke at it gently, trying to wake it up. The slime felt wet, yet there wasn’t a single speck of water on your clothes or hands. The slime opens its eyes, revealing two white ovals. They blink at you expectantly. 

“Uhhh hi.” you say unsure of what to do. 

The slime stays silent. Your faces starts to heat up in embarrassment. What were you thinking? It’s a slime, of course it can’t speak-

“Hello.”

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮...♥"

Wc: 742

Tw: Mentions of death and injuries and blood, not too graphic tho. Angst with no comfort.

“Xiao… I’m so so sorry.” you choke your words through gut-wrenching sobs. His broken form, which you cradle in your arm twitches.

'Don’t be. It’s not your fault.' He wanted to say, but his words got caught in his throat. Sharp, agonizing pain from his karmic debt had dulled to a soft throb, as his gaze starts to drift. He was barely aware of you calling out to him.

Strangely, he felt peaceful. A feeling he used to be familiar with before he became an adepti, before he became Xiao, when he first met you.

A meek villager he had encountered after one of his massacres.

You, a sweet innocent minded do-gooder had helped him out, oblivious to his true nature. But Xiao- no Alatus knew that even if you had seen him kill, torture, and murder, you wouldn’t have been able to leave him to die like that.

Alatus had always taken care of himself after these fights, with his master not caring about him enough to even help him heal. It was normal. But that day… Alatus felt different. He was tired. Tired of killing, tired of fighting, tired of living. 

Then you came. In your angel-like glory, you descended from the skies above to come to his aid and nursed him back to health. You showered him with encouraging words and affection, support he had been deprived of for far too long. Soon he recovered, physically and emotionally, and for that, Alatus owed you.

He promised to protect you, to care for you, and to treat you as kindly as you did to him. The more time the two of you spent, Alatus showed you a side of him that many would deem impossible to even possess.

Love.

Alatus kept true to his word, fighting everyday, just so that he could cherish that sweet smile of yours, just for a day longer.

Until Alatus's sweet little secret was found out. His master spent no time, destroying the one thing that Alatus truly loved.

By the time Alatus had arrived, everything was ridden with destruction. Your village, your house, your family. Nothing was spared. And it was all his fault.

He stares at your bloody body, a complete loss of words. Alatus felt guilty, worthless, his one promise, his one love, died in the very arms that swore to protect. A horrible feeling arises in his gut. And his vision gets blurry. Alatus had never felt this way before. Then droplets of water form in his eyes, and he cries for the first time in his life.

And for the first time, Alatus felt grief.

As time past, Alatus became Xiao. He made new friends, which he lost over time. But Xiao... he desperately tried to keep your memories. To honor you. Of how you gave him affection, or how you scolded him for being to harsh on himself. But as all things would, his memories of you started to fade. But just as Xiao was about to give up, your reincarnated self walked by him during the lantern rite, and Xiao knew that it was you.

Xiao cursed himself for his foolishness. He'd lost the chance to have any relationship with you the moment he brought harm on you. Yet why does he keep coming back to you, eating Almond Tofu, and making flower crowns together, only to be slowly getting attached to you again?

But what he didn't realize was that you still harbored the same feelings for him in your past life.

Your broken sobs bring him back to reality.

"Y/n?" his raspy voice calls out softly, momentarily ceasing your cries. You hadn't heard of such name before, yet you felt like you had known it all your life.

His glassy gaze stares straight ahead, and you don't know if he's all there. But you do know is when he whispered "I love you." that he meant it. How his eyes clouded up with immense fondness for you, his one and only love.

"I love you too." you respond, and gripped his hand a little tighter.

Then he smiles. The biggest smile you've ever seen on his face.

His chest heaves up as he takes a breath, and he used the last of his strength to whisper "i love you..." one last time.

Then he grew still.
