Husband! Alhaitham who was forced to have a marriage with you, an order from the dendro archon herself.
Husband! Alhaitham was given a choice, stay engaged for five years to come or get married for the next two years. Of course, he chose to get married since he knew, of all people, that lesser lord kusanali won't go back on her word.
Husband! Alhaitham who met you for the first time on your wedding day, only a few people were invitedâ kaveh, cyno, tighnari, aether, paimon, nilou, and collei with the dendro archon witnessing the act of wedding herself.
Husband! Alhaitham who was more than glad that he wouldn't have to share the same room with you, in fact, you didn't want to live under the same roof with him.
Husband! Alhaitham who questioned the archon silently asking what was the point of marriage with you?
Husband! Alhaitham who didn't receive an answer was bitter and sour the moment he saw you, it was now your honey moon phase and yet the two of you refused to be in the same room with each other, opting to stay stubborn and sleep on the couch if you need to.
Husband! Alhaitham who would put his headphone on and play music to tune out from the noise around him, including your presence that seems to irk him.
Husband! Alhaitham who is married for the past ten days and is confused as to why did you bring him lunch in his office, but he didn't question it and left the lunch cold on the other table near him, completely forgetting that it existed in the first place.
Husband! Alhaitham who get to receive your homemade lunch boxes for him, the container would be always warm, an obvious fact that not an hour had passed when you probably made it.
Husband! Alhaitham who kept receiving your lunch boxes for the next two weeks and him, completely forgetting the said boxes due to how much paper work had filled his table.
Husband! Alhaitham who was startled to see you waltzing your way in to his temporary office with a neutral expression whilst holding a lunch box, normally, you would pass it on his secretary to give it to him and that guy would deliver it, only to be forgotten on the table near him.
Husband! Alhaitham who was slightly thankful for your stubbornness to feed him because he didn't even notice how hungry he was before you visited him.
Husband! Alhaitham who literally devoured the food you had made after saying thay he doesn't need it, he made sure that container is clean with no grain left can be seen.
Husband! Alhaitham who got nervous when he finally noticed the piling lunch boxes on the table near him, his eyes switching to your face and to the lunch boxes before forcing you to leave his office immediately, in fear of making you upset.
Husband! Alhaitham who was confused as to why he was afraid of making you upset, he scoffed under his breath and told himself that no human could possibly make him stressed when his own papers couldn't force him to be anxious and cautious.
Husband! Alhaitham who was quick to order his secretary to take all the lunch boxes out and wash them, making sure to tell the secretary to bring back containers clean and dry to his office.
Husband! Alhaitham who kept receiving your lunches more and more with a snack situated inside the paper bag it comes with it. He couldn't possibly skip lunch now because you wouldn't forget a day to send him food, it comes to the point that you'll send him a snack or two along with freshly brewed cup of tea to help him relax in the mean time.
Husband! Alhaitham who was too busy to even come home, got into another argument with kaveh when the blonde barged into his office, yelling that he had kept you waiting in the "home" that he had almost forgotten that exist.
Husband! Alhaitham who dismissed kaveh when his secretary had delivered his lunch made by yours truly, you became so devoted to your responsibility as his wife that he couldn't even fathom if you really hate him or not.
Husband! Alhaitham who decided to come home to see if kaveh was really telling the truth, he finished the piling paper work and added the container into the collection on the other table before leaving his office for the first time in that month.
Husband! Alhaitham who was startled when he saw you reading a book as soon as he came into the house, kaveh was nowhere in sight.
Husband! Alhaitham who tried his best to disregard your presence but couldn't help himself to utter a quiet "I'm home." To you which surprised him in the deepest core of his being.
Husband! Alhaitham who swallowed nervously when you shot him a confused look, an eyebrow raised and an unknown glint in your eyes. Why do you look so displease to have him home? Why do you look like you didn't want to see him?
Husband! Alhaitham who tried to act indifferent after seeing your reaction and watched as you nodded your head before burying yourself in your book.
Husband! Alhaitham who started going home before dawn because the archon had scolded him for being a neglectful husband, he doesn't care about what she thinks, but when nahida told him that you might leave his house because your husband wasn't home, seem to haunt him.
Husband! Alhaitham who learned that you often lost yourself in your books, eyes focused and unblinking whenever you're immersed in a particular scene on the story that you're reading.
Husband! Alhaitham who found himself asking for your presence every lunch, telling you to stay for the remaining hours so the two of you can go home together.
Husband! Alhaitham who placed the works of your favorite authors on the bookshelves near your chosen spot on his office just so you could entertain yourself while he is working on the papers that seem to keep piling up every now and then.
Husband! Alhaitham who didn't noticed that five months had already passed ever since the two of you had started to be in each other's presence.
Husband! Alhaitham who found himself wanting more of what you could offer to him, wanting to feel your warmth against his skin, wanting to touch your hand in public, wanting to cling to your side on any given chance, wanting to hold you whenever you're upset on the story you had just read and wanting to have your attention more ok him than anyone else or anything else.
Husband! Alhaitham who chose to deny his growing affection towards you, creating an excuse om his mind that you are his wifeâ so it is normal for him to want more of you.
Husband! Alhaitham who often gets nervous whenever a new set of books would come into his office and waits for you to give your comment on the books he had ordered. He often found himself in a predicament whenever you are about to make a judgement.
Husband! Alhaitham who found himself weak whenever you would focus your attention on him, he would often try to act indifferent, but would instantly melt whenever he'll feel your hand smack his arm or shoulder when you're scolding him for being a picky eater.
Husband! Alhaitham who grimaced when kaveh barged into his face and demanded for him to let you go back to the house, kaveh cried to you whilst kneeling and begging for you to cook him food like how you used to (when you were still newly wed and doesn't know much about your husband), but you could only smile apologetically towards the blonde and pat his head like a mother would do to her child.
Husband! Alhaitham who felt a conflicted feeling bloom in his chest when he saw the interaction between you and kaveh. He initially kicked out the blonde out of spite since he doesn't seem to like it when the guy grabbed onto you and cried like a baby. You are his wife. His. Not Kaveh's.
Husband! Alhaitham who questioned your relationship with kaveh and the only answer he got was, "He's my friend." Along with the follow inquiry of "Why did you ask?".
Husband! Alhaitham who felt the heaviness on his chest to witness you smile at someone else, not once did he see you smile at him for the past few months of your marriage with him and knowing that fact? Had slap him across the face harder than he ought to let on.
Husband! Alhaitham who demanded for you to go to his office together with him so you could avoid the blonde, he didn't want to admit, but he felt so goddamn inferior towards kaveh because of how close the two of you might have been.
Husband! Alhaitham who started to regret that he chose to leave you alone on the first few days of your marriage because now, you wouldn't glance in his way unless he called for you or when it is time to eat his meal.
Husband! Alhaitham who wouldn't say a thing and continued on arguing with himself as to why he felt like holding you when you started tearing up while reading the book you are holding.
Husband! Alhaitham who couldn't stand it and walked towards your spot and wrapped his arms around you, he felt you grow tense in his embrace before letting yourself melt against his chest.
Husband! Alhaitham who are now often seen by the archon and his secretary holding you in his spare time, he didn't even care whatever they have to say whenever he decided to take a break and have you in embrace to have a relaxation time for himself.
Husband! Alhaitham who found himself feeling upset whenever you have to go home to cook him a meal so he asked (demanded) for the dendro archon to have cooking materials ready on the nearest room from his office.
Husband! Alhaitham who could only avert his eyes when you raised an eyebrow towards him the moment nahida presented the newly made kitchen, the secretary told you that you have an authority over it and gave you the keys before excusing themselves out of the room.
Husband! Alhaitham who still feels upset whenever you have to leave the room, but he is glad that you wouldn't have to leave for an hour or two just to get lunch.
Husband! Alhaitham who slowly accepted his growing affection towards you.
Husband! Alhaitham who suddenly got aware that you might not have the same feeling like himâ the thought of you rejecting him had caused him an unbearable heart ache. It was just a thought, but it already caused him pain, to the point he had to stop scanning his eyes on the paper and go find you to silently comfort himself on your presence.
Husband! Alhaitham who could be seen holding your hand whenever the two of you would come and leave his office, silently telling the interested scholars that you are taken and (not) happily married.

Synopsis:
Who would have wondered that your beloved acolytes will go overboard just to keep you to themselves?
Zhongli, Diluc, Alhaitham, Kaeya x fem!reader.
Warning: ooc, grammatical errors, a bit suggestive.
Zhongli.
You've been in teyvat for almost three centuries now, you witnessed how the archon war happened, you witnessed how the events on the game happened even if you tried to change the fate of the ones who have fallen.
It was a grieving sight and fact, the truth that you can't change someone fate in game which made you question your ability as the creator.
Three centuries had passed, names, aliases, nicknames, lovers, friends, spouses, and crushes, you had all of the mentioned for the past centuries.
In the end, you still fell in love with Morax, Rex lapis, and now, Zhongli. It didn't matter how many lovers you had, how many suitors you had, how many spouses you had because in the end, Zhongli still managed to marry you, despite the fact the contract won't be ever broken.
Even if it's in game and real life.
"My goddess," You heard your husband called out for you, "Where are you, dearest?"
You blinked towards the door of your shared bedroom, eyebrows raised as you heard him shuffle his way down the hall towards every room in your abode.
"Dearest?" You heard him call for you again then the sound of the door from the other room creaked open, "My love, where are you?" There's a urgency on his voice this time, you can hear the panicked footsteps of the ex-archon as he walked passed of the bedroom door.
"(Name)?" He called you by the name, it only happens when he's serious and you ended up letting out a tired sigh as you stood up from the soft cushion of the bed.
Did your husband literally not thought of checking you on your shared bedroom?
He probably heard the shuffling of the covers since the moment you opened the door, he was already reaching for the doorknob.
"Dearest." His eyes held the same relief when he saw you, the corner of his lips quirked up into a small smile and he leaned in to plant a gentle kiss on your forehead, "I'm home."
He was quick to wrap his arms around your body, pulling close to him as he breath in your natural scent. His fingers kneading the expose skin you could offer as he pepper kisses on your face, neck, and shouldersâ just basking in your presence by the doorway.
Yes, Zhongli is clingy when the two of you are inside of the closed doors of your abode, he's just scared and anxious at the thought of the other acolytes trying to make you sit on the throne, letting your existence known to all the people of teyvat.
He can't have that, no, he'd keep you in your abode, working during the day to get you what you want, interacting with the others to tell you about the latest gossips, trends, rumors going around, he'd gladly do anything to keep you inside of your teapot.
Even if he had to use his power as an archon.
Alhaitham.
When he first heard that the creator had descended the land of teyvat, he didn't believe it. He had read everything about you, every scriptures, every markings on abandoned ruin and every books around teyvat, all of it.
He has the money to buy the books that includes you, he had kept a hidden compartment in his room, away from his roommate's prying eyes, away from the prying nature of every living organism on land. He can't have them get his collection dirty, those are his possessions, his treasures.
He wasn't smitten nor obsessed about your stories and existence, he was just curious about you.
However, the moment he saw you on Avidya forest, looking around, confused and flabbergasted as you wander around the dangerous terrain.
How could he not help you?
"Thank you."
Two simple words that are rarely said to him, had made his knees go weak as he patch up the scratches on your arms. There was no blood, no open wound nor injuries, just scratches and a little bit of dirty, dead skin clinging into you.
After that encounter, he made sure to bring you to his house, it doesn't matter to him if his roommate's home, he doesn't even care if you ended up asking a lot of questions towardsâ just don't dare look away from him. Don't even dare try to look at others, especially when he was the one who saved you.
You owe him, right?
Then you wouldn't mind if he didn't like the idea of making you sit on the throne, having the other acolytes worship you? Of course not, right? You'll let him be the one to worship you instead, yes?
It took a lot from him to stay indifferent towards you, but hey, he already ruined his image when he kneeled down in front of you, asking your hand in marriage after several months of courting you.
So accept his proposal will you?
Diluc.
You descended the land of teyvat the moment you finished reading his story on the character screen, you found out how he managed to use his father's delusion and left his vision behind whilst causing chaos towards the fatui. He wasn't using his vision, only delusion, along with chains.
You could only wince when you found out that you descended the moment you encountered him on windrise, he was sitting down on the root of the great tree, messy and dirty clothes with fresh scars present on his exposed arms and skin.
You immediately went on guard, eyes wide as you watch him narrow his gaze towards you.
No words were spoken, surprisingly, he let you run off.
You might have adored when you were still playing genshin, but you can't avoid the fact that Diluc cam easily kill you if he wanted to.
That encounter were soon followed by more accidental encounters, each one of them are exchanged of wary gaze and a narrowed glare towards one another.
The first one, you were exploring the cliffs of mondstadt, it was night and you saw him defeating several hilichurls. Unfortunately for you, you were too late to sneak away so he ended up seeing you.
The second one, you were busy helping bennett and razor on searching for valberries, you bumped into him after diving onto the bush for the berries. You won't forget the humiliation you felt that day.
The third one, katherine asked you to defeat a group of treasure hoarders near windrise, you ended up using your anemo ability to enhance your movement speed and ended up killing the hoarders, accidentally, that is. Later on, you found him gripping his claymore as he narrowed his eyes at you.
Several encounters had brought the two of you together, the exchanged wary glances and narrowed gazes turned into stealing glances of your smile along with looking for a way out on your part.
Fortunately for the uncrowded king of mondstadt, he managed to capture your favor and affection by his stubborn confidence along with delicious delicacies from the other nations.
He found out that you are quite fond of food which made it easier for him to lure you into his trap.
A couple of months passed, now, you're in his mansion, on his bedroom, on top of his bed, and under him, spouting praises towards him as he worship your body.
He found out at the night before your wedding that you are the creator when you face planted on the wood floors of his mansion, you didn't notice how the blood that dripped from your nose turned into gold. You were too busy wincing and whining about the pain whilst he leaned in and cradled your head to his palms, whispering sweet and comforting words on your ears.
You were too busy to notice the crazed look on his eyes as he plant kisses onto your cheek, comforting and making you melt onto his embrace.
Kaeya.
He first met you after the traveler left for Liyue, you were looking around the city of freedom, confusion and shock plastered on your face.
He remembered approaching you, smile on his lips.
It was obvious that you were shocked when you saw him, although the relief on your eyes are apparent and you soon calmed down, you introduced yourself hesitantly before asking for the direction towards the wolvendom.
It's over there, he remembered saying that time and you happily gave him a bag of mora to thank him for helping you.
That was a foolish action of yours, you didn't notice how your blood dried off at the bottom of the bag when you fell down from the roof of the cathedral. You opened your eyes, expecting to see the ceiling of your room, but you were greeted by the blinding light of the sun and the chirping of the birds.
The moment you left Kaeya, his eyes flickered to the shining, shimmering, and glimmering trail of stars on the bag.
He just knew that you have to be the creator.
"Love." He murmured against your skin, lips pressing feather light kisses on your neck before trailing down to your chest and laid his head there, "Gotta go."
You stirred from your spot, eyelids heavy with sleep as you turned to your sideâ bringing his body with you. He buried his head more into your chest as he let out a satisfied hum, running his large hands up and down on your exposed skin of your back.
"Cold." You hissed, "Stop it. I'm still sore."
He let out a chuckle and pulled away from your body. He sat up with the quilt going down and landing on his lap, revealing the marks on his dark skin from the steamy activity you had the night before.
His eyes scanned yours, his own bite marks and dark bruises on your skin can be seen.
"You don't want to go in to the shower with me, gorgeous?" He inquired with a light nudge on your thigh, causing for you to let out an annoyed groan followed by a sigh.
"My expedition will start in the evening, I'll stay in bed for now." You informed him.
Right, he forgot that you applied to be an adventurer to blend into the crowd of mondstadt. Clever, he mentally mused before getting off the bed. He stretched his body, groaning at the satisfying cracks that his bones let out.
He went to the bathroom, his eyes glancing at the mirror and saw the marks you unconsciously left on his body then his gaze landed on the ring that is hanging on his necklaceâ matching necklace with you that you created with your barehands.
He was thankful that he demanded and convinced for the favonius knights to gather those hilichurls, mitachurls, abyss mages, and cicin mages in one place. Just to see if you're indeed the creator.
He knew he scored the jackpot when you defeated those enemies in one sweep of your hand. You literally obliterated all of them, just like how Klee would do when she was playing around.
When he saw that horrified look on your eyes after you murdered those enemies? Oh, the delightful sensation that he felt on his core.
"Iâ" He lifted one hand and cut you off, smiling at you.
"I won't tell anyone," Of course not, that would mean telling the whole world that you have arrived. "If you want to keep it a secret then I'll also keep it a secret. Just the two of us, yes?"
Would the creator despise him if he wanted to keep you all to himself? Ha, stop making me laugh. The creator he's talking about had already fallen for his charm.
The moment you thanked him on keeping your secret, was the moment he knew he just have to keep the creator of teyvat to himself.
Hate to bother, but are you ok? We haven't seen you in a while.
You're not bothering or anything, anon!
First of all, I want to apologize because I've been inactive for MONTHS. Second, I'm doing quite well for now, and as much as I hate to say it, I will be on hiatus. School has been stressful for me, there are a lot of requirements to do since I'm a graduating student.
Writing helps me de-stress, but I can't let myself get distracted because I'm aiming to have an honour before the semester ends. Please forgive me as I ask for your further consideration.
I'll start by posting the stories on my drafts which is fifteen in total, the requests on my inbox will also be posted one by one so bear with me.
I missed you all, by the way, I really do. I come back to this account once a month to check and I always see the comments (which I really love to read because it warms my heart). I really love my strawberries, seriously, and I'm hoping that all of you have been taking care of yourselves.
Please, I'm a feral goblin, more sagau pls. Feed me. I just need to consume more of your writing so I can upgrade to a full blown menace to my friends. Feeeeeeeed meeeeeee mooooooooore. Pls. Love your writing đ€đđŻ
I find this adorable đ
Don't worry! Ask and you shall receive! There are three sagau sitting on my drafts right now, I'm just giving it a couple of finishing touch then I'll post it!
Idk who needs to hear this, but please don't take any of my fanfics and make it your own and claim it as your own. All of my fics are my original ideas, and it takes me time to write them and post them.
Taking my fanfic title, the concept (not the isekai concept), and claiming it as inspiration when 90% of it is a direct copy of a brand new series and making your own series on an already existing series is not inspiration (the title, how the story begins, progresses, how certain characters interact with the reader, etc.).
It's fine to have inspiration, but when the title and the littlest details in the story are blatantly similar to what I have posted isn't considered to be inspiration anymore.
I put my time and hard work into these fics, and having people plagiarize or post an eerily similar fic to an already existing story is disheartening. While I understand it's fanfics and "it's not that serious," but as an aspiring writer (and someone who wants to make it their career), having people copy your work and claim it as their own or "taking inspiration" from an already existing fic and making a new series out of it makes it harder for me to continue to write and post new fics.
IMAGINE, Zhongli, Tighnari, Wanderer, and Diluc with a stubborn wife!
"Liebling, why are you still up?" Diluc asked, spotting you on the couch with papers on your hands. He just got back from the winery and the time is currently 12:47 m.
"She won't stop fussing about not finishing her work." Tighnari emerged from the kitchen with two mugs on his grip as he made his way over to your spot. He quietly places the mug beside the couch you're sitting on and he sat on the sofa in front of you.
"Thanks." You murmured, eyes not leaving the paper.
Diluc hummed, shrugging off his coat and walking over towards Tighnari. The fox nodded his head whilst handing over the mug and the red head gladly took a sip from his warm drink before giving it back.
Folding his coat in half and placing it against his arm, he turned his attention to you, "When is the deadline?"
"Next week." You answered, now, scribbling on the paper.
Almost immediately, Diluc and Tighnari sighed simultaneously.
"Why are you three still awake?" Your two husbands looked up to see Wanderer standing on the doorway with his arms crossed on his chest, "It's late, (name) needs to sleep and take a rest so fuckinâ"
"Be nice." Your voice warned him.
"âFreaking tell me why are you two standing there, just watching her work?" Wanderer continued what he was saying, eyes narrowed towards Diluc and Tighnari.
"I tried talking her out of it." The fox said, sipping from his mug, "She won't budge so I decided to stay up with her, I've no plans for later anyways."
"I just got back." The red head informed him, "Saw liebling doing her work whilst I saw tighnari come from the kitchen."
Wanderer grunted, walking over to the sofa and he begrudgingly sat beside Tighnari with his arms firmly crossed over his chest.
They didn't say anything afterwards, Diluc left the living room for a while before coming back out with his pajamas. He sat down on the other side of Tighnari and the three of them watched you do your own thing.
".. why are you four out here?" A deep and rumbling voice asked from the bedroom.
"She's insistent on finishing her paper works even if the deadline is next week." Tighnari said while motioning over to your hunch figure.
Zhongli gaze at your direction, his eyes softening at the sight of your focused attention on the paper.
"Very well.." The man walked over to the three and sat beside Diluc, he let out a yawn and shifted himself to a comfortable position before draping his arm on the back of the sofa.
The four of them didn't want to leave on the living room, they also didn't want to disturb you, they respect you so they wouldn't say anything to bother your work which is why, the four of them are squeezing themselves on the sofa because it's the only seat that has an angle that reveals your beautiful face to them.
They didn't know how long they had been sitting there, one of them would stand up from time to time but would eventually go back to their seat to observe you.
The atmosphere are calming, there's no loud noise and the sound that came from the papers you are holding are slowly lulling them to sleep.
".. Okay, I'm done." You murmured to yourself, stretching your arms and legs as you stood up from your seat. Your body slightly hurts from the unchanging posture for the past few hours.
As you were stretching, the mug that tighnari gave you had caught your attention.
You reach out for the mug and took a sip from the now cold drink, you felt bad, knowing that your husband made you a warm drink earlier but you neglected it to the point it got cold.
Speaking of which, your lips curled up into a smile when you saw your husbands sleeping on the sofa.
Zhongli's head is leaning against Diluc's, Wanderer's head is on Tighnari's shoulder whilst the fox's head is on Zhongli's arm that was draping on the back of the sofa.
It was a marvelous sight.
Of course, you wouldn't let this past so you look around for the kamera, you quickly snapped a couple of pictures to capture this memorable moment. You took a couple more in different angles and you took a mental note that you will print the pictures to put them on your photo album.
"I should probably start cooking breakfast." You told yourself, eyes looking over to the window where a little bit of sunlight started to peak through.
It was your fault why they ended up falling asleep on the sofa so you'll just have to stay up a little bit more, to cook something for them before pulling them onto the bed to cuddle with you.
The four of them might be different with each other, but they managed and are willing to co-exist just for their wife.
Klee found something cool about you and she gotta tell someoneâ doesn't matter how or where, she would tell anyone, even if it means creating a silent war between the acolytes.

"(Name)?" Klee called out, her eyes looking at your focused face to the shining mora on top of Jean's desk.
"Hm?" You hummed, but didn't look at her.
Oh. The child thought, her lips forming the biggest grin she could muster as she stood up from her chair, as much as she would love to stay within your presence, she would rather tell someone or anyone how you're fond of mora.
You ended up unintentionally stole it.
You don't how long you've been wandering on the air, your body on top of an anemo slime as it carries you around teyvat.
You could barely remember the audible concern from Jean's and Lisa's voice when you excused yourself, head hazy and eyes locked on the shining mora on your handâ you couldn't help it, the shine and glimmer of the coin on top of the desk was alluring you.
"Hm, want more of this.." You muttered, eyes still locked on the mora. You are mesmerized at how the coin would shine under the sunlight and you didn't even know that the shimmer of the mora could potentially blind you.
You didn't even noticed how the anemo slime changed it's course, opted to go to Liyue and brought you inside of a cave.
You only noticed that you aren't out in the air when you noticed the glimmer on your peripheral vision.
What? You thought as you turn your head, holy..
The slime's body gently landed on the ground beside the shining and shimmering crystals, there are a couple of luxurious chest surrounding it with mora leaking out of the lid of the chest.
Your expression literally brightens up at the sight of the shining treasures.
"I'm telling you, she left with this.. Unreadable haze on her eyesâ" Jean stopped herself from explaining further.
She could see that the acolytes in front of her won't listen anyways so what's the point of trying to protect herself from their agonizing and menacing glares and gazes?
"That doesn't explain why you let her out of the office." Zhongli said, crossing his arms as he kept his amber eyes on her frigid form, gaze cold and hard whilst trying to compose himself from attacking the mortal.
"How could I stop the divine one? Pardon me, but would you have the courage to stop her grace from leaving if you're on my shoes?" With her rebuttal, the retired archon got quiet, trying to match her rational thinking, but it was hard, especially when you've been seen a few hours ago.
All of them could feel the cold breeze of the evening, the sun had already said it's temporary farewell as the moon made it's presence known towards the people of each nation.
"She's not lying, Morax." Venti spoke up, "I could hear the wind whispering about her safety."
"So she's somewhere safe right now?" This time, the Raiden Shogun asked, she stepped in to the circle of acolytes with her eyes narrowed towards the anemo archon.
"Quite frankly, yes, the wind even told me that she's enjoying herself right now.." He started to spoke in a lower voice, "It said that she's been laughing and indulging herself on something she loves."
He put an emphasis on the word 'something' because he, himself knew how infatuated the acolytes towards you. Jealousy is an ugly emotion and he would rather hear that something has got your attention instead of someone.
"Something she loves?" Kaeya spoke up, "What would that be, hm?"
"It's mora!" Came a cheerful and giddy voice of a child coming from the closet, "She loves mora! I saw her looking at the mora on top of Master Jean's desk this morningâ"
"Klee." Diluc said her name in warning, his eyes narrowed towards the wooden doors, "What are you doing inside of the closet? Albedo specifically told you that this kind of meetings are for grown-ups only."
"U-uh.." The child didn't say anything, instead, she went out of the closet and quickly flee towards the door, seeing herself out of the room.
It got quiet after that.
"So," Ningguang chuckled, "It seems that (name) loves mora, as per the child's words."
"Indeed so." Pantalone smiled, pushing his glasses up with his gloved fingers whilst keeping his excitement in check, "It seems that the bachelors would finally have their use after all."
His words didn't only hit Diluc, Ningguang, Ajax, Alhaitham, Cyno, the Kamisato siblings and the other fatui harbingersâ his statement also hit him where it actually hurts.
"I'll send mine to her palace in an hour." Ningguang said, starting towards the exit of the meeting room with Keqing and Ganyu hot on her heels as she bid them a farewell, "Have a wonderful evening, everyone."
The others went quiet as they watch her exit the room, eyes narrowing from hearing her statement.
Diluc and Alhaitham both got up from their seat, they didn't said anything while the two of them sent each other a nod of acknowledgement before exiting the room, away from the other acolytes.
"Well, I'll excuse myself as well." Pantalone uttered, getting up from his expensive cushion and walked out of the room.
Ayato gave them his usual business smile, "We'll send Thoma to the palace as soon as possible, till then, we wish everyone a good luck."
He and Ayaka sent them a smile, all the while their eyes mocked the othersâ even the archons, knowing that they own more money than them. They couldn't help but feel slightly superior due to their riches.
Soon, the siblings exited the room with Thoma following behind them.
"I can't believe them!" Kaveh, hands in the air, exclaimed as he pointed towards the door, "I get that they are filthy rich, but did they just call us poor in different languages? Especially that Alhaitham! Why is he soâ ugh, I can't deal with this!"
The others watched the man huffed in his seat, hunching over the blue prints of your requested abode.
They could hear him utter some words, probably cursing the akademiya's acting grand sage whilst scribbling his pen on the paper in front of him.
"What now?" Kuki asked, her hands on her hips as she scanned the room with the remaining acolytes.
Ajax had been suspiciously quiet beside Kaeya, the two of them calmly sitting across of Raiden Shogun and Venti. If there are loud and nosy acolytes then the ginger and dark skinned man would be on top of the list, along with Itto, Wanderer, and Venti.
Surprisingly, the archons are quiet.
Way too quiet, Rosaria thought, she might not be a fan of the archons, but her nation's archon is quiet too which is very out of character of Venti.
The sane acolytes could only wish and hope that nothing too bad would happen.
You've been missing for three days straight.
It's making your beloved acolytes crazy, it'd starting to scare Jean because she was last in charge of you when you were last seen.
Right now, Diluc and Ajax are on the move towards Liyue, they were partnered with each other by the Raiden Shogun, Buer, and Morax due go their tracking skills. Their sole purpose is to find you and bring you back to your palace safely.
Even if the two aren't in good terms, they put their personal (Diluc'sâ) grudge and trudge their way on each valley of Liyue.
They heard some rumors that monsters had been gathering around the Qingxu pool, often seen walking in and out of a specific cave with bunch of minerals, foods, and moras that they snatched from the passing adventurers.
Diluc believed that those monsters were drawn to your location which is not illogical to think so, especially when those monsters refuse to attack youâ opting to attack them instead.
"That's the cave." Ajax cheered.
The red head only grunted, speeding up his pace and walking past the ginger.
"Nini zido!"
"Ya yika!"
The familiar words of hilichurls can soon be heard as soon as they stepped a foot on the cave, both men materialized their weapons on their hands and got ready to attack.
"What's wrong, guys? Is someone bad herâ oh! Goodness, it's Diluc and childe!"
Sensing the cheerfulness on your voice, the hilichurls stopped their attempt to attack and stepped aside when you run towards the duo.
Ajax had his arms open and jumped on him, arms wrapping around his neck as you laugh. He wrapped his arms around your waist and buried his face on your neck, flattening his lips on the exposed skin whilst chuckling along with you.
After hugging for a good minute, you quickly detached yourself away from the ginger and jumped at the red head next.
Diluc was fast enough to catch you, his hands looped under your knees and lifted you up in his arms as you hugged him tightly. He could only bury his face on your chest, inhaling your natural scent and humming contently to himself as you gave him a loving laugh.
"I missed you, guys!" You told them with glee.
The red head didn't bother putting you down and started walking towards the exit, but you frantically stopped them.
"Stop! Stop!" You cried out, "The crystals, the moras, the treasuresâ the creatures gave them to me, I can't just leave those out here!"
Truthfully, you couldn't say that you adore seeing those shining treasure as you lay on top of it, I mean, that's what you've been doing for the past three days, laying on top of the pile of mora whilst admiring how it would shine under the light coming from the torches of the hilichurls.
"We'll send someone to bring them to your palace, my goddess." Ajax said, patting the top of your head reassuringly as you look at him with the glint of doubt on your eyes.
"Trust him on that one, my grace." Diluc butted in this time.
He started walking out of the cave and Ajax quickly set off the fireworks given to him by Yoimiya, it was a signal to tell the Geo archon that you have been found.
"Besides, you could see a lot of those shining treasures on your palace." Ajax chuckled, "The other acolytes sent their regards and riches would soon be filling your treasure room so there's no need to fret over a pile of treasures.. Those will be sent in your palace before you know it."
You frowned, eyes flickering from the entrance of the cave to the waving hilichurls beside it.
Those past three days felt like heaven and the hilichurls were more attentive to your needs than your acolytes, maybe, just maybe.. Those shining coins had brought you the knowledge you didn't know you need.
Now, you know that, hilichurls and the others creatures around teyvat could answer your call, faster than those archons could do.
No, kunichigo and I are very much different from each other. kunichigo is an consistent writer and a person who adores reading for the whole day, while on the contrary, I write inconsistent and I prefer playing as well as editing stuff for the whole day instead of reading.
SHE'S ALSO MY LITTLE SISTER AND MY WHOLE WORLD she's just so cute, and annoying, and frustrating, and loud, and indecisive which is upsetting but she's so adorable which makes me love her more
IMAGINE, Zhongli, your husband, is a lawyer and is on court room due to the recent case that was filed against you and he accepted it to clear your name.
"Again, let me repeat what you had said," He stated, gripping the documents on his hands as he stepped forward, "The attacker targeted you, tried to kill you with a size of 7.62 by 51 millimeter bullet, however, you managed to come out alive because the bullet missed it's target, am I right?"
"Yes." The woman, the victim of attempted murder, answered with confidence as she gave him a smirk, her eyes discreetly sending a glance your way, "And I know she did it."
Whispers of the juries filled the room, voices low as they started to summarize the situation.
"Objection, your honor, misleading." The woman's lawyer quickly interject, sitting up from his seat as his expression silently told the woman to keep her mouth shut.
"Objection is overruled, the defendant may continue with her statement." The judge left no room for arguments which gives the woman the chance to reveal who was her supposedly killer.
"I remember everything clearly that night, I was drinking with my friends, I just finished downing my own drink when I decided to move closer to her then there it was, the bullet missing my head for a centimeter and guess what? There was only one person who would kill me out of spite." The woman huffed, "And that person is her, (full name)."
Almost instantly, the court room was filled with disbelieved murmurs even the judge's eyes are narrowed as the woman pointed a finger towards your direction.
Zhongli smiled, "Do you recall making this statement, Mrs. Linton?" He approached the bench, placing the document on top of the desk, "Please read exhibit one in evidence, can you tell the court what is in exhibit one?"
"Sure.." The woman agreed reluctantly, "The suspect, (Full name) was sent home the night of the attack just after the friends of the defendant had arrived."
"Thank you, Mrs. Linton." Zhongli quickly took the document from her and stepped away from the bench, "Would the court allow me to inquire the defendant one last question before I withdraw?"
"You may proceed, Mr. Zhongli."
"Thank you, counselor." He smiled, "How can you say that Mrs. (Last name) was your attacker? There was no evidence found on the crime scene after all."
"It's because she hates me, okay? I swear she gave me that dirty look before my friends sent her away. She just missed my head which is why she's not in jail." Mrs. Linton huffed, evidently annoyed as to why the court hasn't sentenced you to prison just yet.
You could only smile towards her before looking at your husband's back, gaze full of adoration and love.
"However." Zhongli quickly spoke up with his amber eyes cold as he stare at the woman on the bench, "Mrs. (Last name) never miss."
His statement made her blood run cold, the color on her face drained as her eyes became as wide as saucers.
That's right, this case didn't have a chance to begin with.
The jurors, the lawyer and the judge knew who you are, the defendant's statement was weird and out of place from the start, they knew how you work, they knew how you carry your job done and they knew how accurate your shots are.
That's right, Zhongli's wife, the retired assassin that worked under the government of teyvat, are efficient and fast, she would never let her target walk nor let them alive for the next day.
That's right, his wifeâ his (name) would never miss.
IMAGINE, Alhaitham getting into a petty bet with Cyno, Tighnari and Kaveh.
They knew that Alhaitham is apathetic to the people around him, constantly ignoring everyone as he read his book, or while he's doing a research. It doesn't matter when, where, or what, he would ignore the people he deem unworthy of his attention and time.
The great renown acting grand sage of akademiya, accepted the bet of courting someone and make themâ wether the person is a man or a woman, he knows he has the looks, the money, the strength, and the knowledge so he's not wary of the fact that he might get rejectedâ to say yes to his courtship.
Yes, he's tired of their bullshits so he accepted the bet of making someone fall in love with him, to prove them that someone out there would like him despite his uncanny personality and mannerism.
Fortunately for him, he found a rather interesting and easy target. Unfortunately for you, you got the acting grand sage's attention.
It started with him picking you up from the library, 5 pm, sharp. He would leave his office earlier than usual just to get to you, after that, he would bring you to puspa cafe to treat you into something nice, it's a reward for being a courteous and humble scribe today, he says.
It would take a while for him to make you open up, but once you do, after a month might he add, he felt this incredible rush of emotion that blooms in his chest. The way you smiled at him, genuinely, he knows that you were forcing the smiles you often give him so it's something he found adorable and calming.
On the other hand, you didn't let him know anything else other than the fact your hometown is not in Sumeru, rather, it was another nation.
He ought to say that he can interact with people just nicely, he followed and had read every book about human interaction there are to read, however, he still cannot grasp how you could avoid him and his questions, rather, his curiosity about you.
He can't remember when it all begun to change, the feelings inside his chest and the butterflies sensation in his stomach, those unknown phenomena is something he can't explain.
From picking you up at the library to picking you up from your home so the two of you can go to akademiya together, from bringing you in puspa cafe so he can treat you into something delicious to learning how to cook so he can feed you himself.
From listening to your rant about several books that you like to looking for them everywhere and buying it the first chance he gets, from merely raising a brow at you whenever your eyes would linger on something a little longer before turning your eyes away to buying everything that would get your attention.
From keeping his hand busy by reading in your presence to holding your hand whenever he would read while the other is holding the book, from keeping you at arms length to pulling you close every chance he would get.
From the fleeting glance he would send your way to the longing look in your direction, from keeping his earpiece on to avoid engaging into a conversation with you to putting the device away so he can listen to your voice.
From the nod of acknowledgement to let you know he saw you to the longing hug he would give you whenever he see you.
It started out as awkward, something forced, but as the days passed, he found the routine he had established between the two of you quite calming. Seeing your usual stressed expression and the annoyed look from your eyes that would turn soft when you gaze at him? Oh, that often made the familiar tingling sensation on his stomach bloom.
A year had passed since he first approached you, the bet with the three people that he had back at the tavern, are long forgotten.
Now, he just want to have you for himself, to make whatever's going with the two of you, official. He wants to take you out on dates for real, to feel your arms around him and no one else's, to hear your rants about your day, to hear your opinion and thoughts about certain things, to see your reactions on every dishes he would give you, to have the smiles that would grace your beautiful features.
All of it, he wants all of it.
However, all of that went down the drain when he heard, "I'm sorry, you're a good friend, alhaitham.. You really are, and I don't see nor feel anything about you other than platonic.â How could he overlook the signs? How should he act in this situation? Should he continue to talk to convince you? Should he be mad? Annoyed? Should he be crying and begging?
He tried to talk, but no words came out, he just realized that even his own voice betrayed him.
How could he say anything outrageous anyways? Especially when you looked and sound so genuine as you utter those painful words? Still, his eyes could only stare at your beautiful features, admiring and trying to clear his jumbled thoughts so he could form a proper reply, however, the pain was too great and no words could ever describe it, no scripture could tell it, no books could compensate towards the agonizing beat of his heart.
He was confident that he can make anyone say yes, he was confident that you would say yes, he was confident that he has it all, he was confident that he could win you over.
But his world crumbled the moment you uttered the words he would rather not hear from your lips.
"Besides, you approached me because of the bet between you and your friends, right?"
