[Ā āyouāre home! thank barbatos, i was about to die if you didnāt come soon!ā ]
⢠to think that the sloppy bard you met at the winery all those years ago would now be your husband⦠love really is a mystery
⢠youāre well-aware that venti has little to no house managing skills whatsoever, but anemo visions really do come in handy, so cleaning up the house while youāre gone is an easy task for him. his real talent in being a husband shines when youāre finally home
⢠true to his nature as a bard, ventiās songs never fail to make you relax. after a day of cleaning up after your co-workers and getting run ragged by your boss, ventiās sweet voice and lyreĀ is just what you need to take the pain away.
⢠heās quite doting too! although he doesnāt have many recipes up his arsenal, venti excells in homemade food that are warm and comforting, the kind that truly makes you feel at home. heās a sucker for compliments too! so keep praising him and his good efforts, alright?
⢠your husband is quite the alcoholic, and itās times like these where his true nature tends to shine through. whether it be at the tavern or at home, his endless rambling could be shrugged off as the produce of alcohol, but to the more perceptive friends of his⦠theyāre just downright obsessive
⢠he sings songs of praise about you, from the twinkle in your eye to your hard work and perseverance to the XXXX ! XXX ā”! XXĀ ā” XX?!?!!Ā ā”ā”ā”Ā of your XXXX! XXĀ ā” ANd .. oops⦠did he ramble too much again?
⢠sometimes, when the memories are too much, he comes to your touch seeking for comfort, but sometimes heās too handsyĀ for your comfort, the words tumbling out of his mouth in a liqour daze too disturbing for your liking
āperfectā¦ā he mumbles, mouthing against the skin of your collarbone and holding your hands in what is supposed to be a tender touch. instead, his nails grip too tight and he presses his hot forehead against yours. your breath hitches.
green eyes bursting with hearts and adoration, a drunken blush covering his cheeks as he giggles against your lips. the very picture of obsession.
āas i expected,ā he breathes out, his nails drawing out blood from your skin.
āyou really are a mortal worthy of my songs.ā
[Ā āiāve devoted my everything to you⦠wonāt you grant me a little favor?ā ]
the first thing I think of when Reader is portrayed as naive and innocent in an AU is how in the future theyāre worse then all their hybrids combined, and Iām getting some major brainrot over the hybrid AU so just hear me out here ā¼ļøā¼ļø
Reader was of course innocent and naive, sheltered in every way, but that was before their father suddenly decided that playing the role of a doting father in public would boost his dying image more then keeping reader locked up
So Readers thrust into the life of an heir, forced to come to grips with the cold harsh reality that is the business world, and realize that theyāre never going to have any true power or freedom as long as their father is still around
So they plan and scheme, analyzing their fathers greatest achievements and his worst failures, learning all about how to play the business world, and people in general, like a fine tuned instrument. Just patiently waiting till their fathers gradual cover ups over the years suddenly make their way into the public eye.
And when itās revealed that Readers parent abandoned them and then picked them up again for his entertainment, forcing them to turn to mere hybrids for genuine human interaction?
Well, both those concerned for Reader, and those not, take note. Suddenly investigations are happening and their fathers tax fraud and million dollar bribes are revealed, and oh whatās that, heās also involved in multiple different crime organizations? How horrible
Reader miraculously finds themself to be the CEO how every company that their father had, an owner of all of his properties, and immeasurably rich beyond belief when their father dies in jail under simply tragic circumstances.
Only this time, Reader wonāt let the opportunity to take the world by storm pass by. After all, they have a rather beautiful collection of hybrids waiting at home for them, and you know how clingy beloved pets are when you make them wait.
You cant blame the poor darlings though, the public whispers behind lustful gazes and adoring stares, they just canāt get enough of their powerful owner
actually anon this ask (which has been fermenting in my ask for a year now) has been the inspiration in why there's been a whole heir sub plotline in my hybird works.
i like the idea of the hybrids subtly corrupting the innocent bird that's been in their cage for far too long, now able to spread their wings but just doesn't know how. they feed darling whispers about how their parent abandoned them, how they're the only family they have. and all of them are oh so eager to follow reader's convoluted schemes to bring down their father and the company's enemies.
i find that corrupting darling would have many benefits to the hybrids. one, well, corruption arc? it would be just so lovely to see your naivety crushed and broken, making you rely on them not as your protectors but also as your fellow sinners in this plan. two, since you're so influential, you'll be able to at least influence society's views on hybrids. you'll be in a high enough position to influence lawmakers to loosen their binds on hybrids, to make hybrids equal... idk, just a thought.
this only applies to zhongli, since he's bound by a contract to your father, but this could be the perfect opportunity to revenge. what better way to take revenge on the man who coerced you into a humiliating contract than watch his own flesh and blood (who he does love despite all his callousness) impeach him from his throne and throw him into jail. it's perfect. plus, he'll be able to spend freedom with you forever and ever <3
with your hybrid series i love to think about like,,, āarranged marriageā? i hope that doesnāt sound weird, but like thinking about how quickly the hybrids would chase away any suitor? š they wouldnāt last five hours after the announcement that readerās dad wants them to marry some business tycoonās kid.
you might like: yandere! genshin hybrids ft aether
to be honest, darling's father wouldn't give them okay to some rich kid just to establish or strengthen ties. he's got many companies under his belt, after all, and you're his only heir. plus, he loves you so severely that he fears for your safety if you ever get out of the nicely decorated cage he's set you up in.
that said, the hybrids would react very strongly to an arranged marriage. the entire mansion would be in an uproar. the more sensitive ones are breaking down and begging you not to leave them, the reserved ones are plotting murder in their heads, and the sadistic ones think that this might be their signal to go on a little... fieldtrip to whichever poor sod your father hooked you up with and expend psychological torture.
it'd hit aether the hardest though. he's been with you ever since the first day you stepped into this mansion. he's sat with you as you sobbed about how your father doesn't love you, and now he expects you to marry him for the sake of the company? the entire thing only serves to fuel his hatred for your father.
also, forgive him for being so selfish, but he feels more than entitled to you. he is the one who's been taking care with you ever since you were young. he's able to share you with the rest of the hybrids because he knows that they adore you as much as he does, but what about the bastard who's going to lay his hands on you? you've never met and the outside world, especially that of high society, can be cruel. outsiders would never appreciate you the way they do.
summary ! a connection to fire doesn't ultimately mean hot-headed, but these hybrids are equally passionate in their love for you. like a moth to a flame, you are taken in by their warmth, not noticing when the heat starts to sear.
content ! overprotectiveness; mentions of mĆŗrder; mention of breaking your limbs
notes ! oh and there's neuvillette too ig
for such a hybrid of his nature, the way you encountered NEUVILLETTE was entirely⦠ordinary. you were just out on a walk with zhongli to the village below after offering to run some errands. it was purely out of the desire to stretch your legs instead of being cramped in that manor, but that decision had led you to encounter one of the rarest beings alive⦠scooping water out of the nearby river and tasting it. you had gawked at him, eyes darting from the river to the sediments floating in his⦠wine glass? silently, he made a toast to you and sipped from the water. āearthy,ā he had said, with all the refinement of a wine connoisseur.Ā
you had been ecstatic when NEUVILLETTE introduced himself to you as a dragon hybrid, making that the fourth of the mythical hybrids youāve met so far. zhongli was less than pleased, pursing his lips and choosing to say one or two curt greetings for the sake of basic politeness. youāre not as dense as the others make you out to be, but even if you were, anyone could tell that something was going on between the two hybrids. the way they exchange glances, human eyes turning into territorial slits for a few seconds before going back to normal as they entertain you⦠yeah, somethingās up.Ā
NEUVILLETTE had already caught wind of a benevolent young master who had one too many hybrids under their roof, so he had no qualms about introducing himself as a hybrid to you. something about you had already captivated him first-hand. perhaps itās your eyes, filled with the naivete of a sheltered child but unafraid of knowing the curiosities of the world. or maybe itās how your expression turned to that of glee when he introduced himself as a hybrid, overjoyed rather than fearful of his mythical status. when you walked him back to your manor, it was clear how well you took care of your hybrids with the way they greeted you warmly and clung to your side. ⦠perhaps, this was the peaceful harmony between humans and hybrids that he had always longed to see.
except the longer he stayed in your manor, the more he could sense that something sinister was brewing underneath the surface. it didnāt come from the human housestaff or the human⦠you. you, who was as fallible as any human, was not the cause of this unease he was feeling. the more he observed your hybrids, the more he unraveled the image of this so-called found family. some of them touch you far too inappropriately for human standards, others sway you with carefully crafted words laced with sweet smiles, and gentle tones, and there are the occasional slip-ins to your drink and food when you glance away. all this he watches from afar, still too estranged from the others to make any comment about it. he realizes that rather than a house made for them, this was a cage they had created to be yours.
he had ought to bring this up with you, about the things they do to you. NEUVILLETTE could not see any of their actions as anything other than a strange displacement of obsession and it was only just that you become aware of it, if you hadnāt already. but one day you were called to your fatherās in the city, and a week later you had come back looking a little blank and dead. your eyes were puffy from crying too much yet you forced yourself to smile (albeit shakily and weakly) whenever the hybrids had asked about your welfare. aether led you back to your room, shooting them all a glance before they all shared the same knowing glance and dispersed. it was only later that he realized the precarious position you were born into, with a father who could care less and high societyās eyes on you.
NEUVILLETTE is soft and gentle when he handles you. he speaks in that firm yet endearing voice, gentlemanly in all his conduct, and not once seeming to take advantage of you. heās part of the education team, teaching you about language arts and sometimes even judicial subjects that would aid you should you ever step back into high society. those subjects are there for you to use for your own⦠agenda, but NEUVILLETTE doesnāt exactly have the heart to raise you to be a conniving manipulator, so he quietly leaves that to ayato.Ā
NEUVILLETTE hasnāt felt a strong desire for anything in his long, long life, but that has changed ever since had met you. one smile from you was enough to break down the walls that had been built up over the centuries, enough to make him want you. to have you wrapped in his embrace, to hold your hands in his, to wipe away the tears caused by the harsh society you were born in. he wants to treat you gently, believe him, but itās so hard to do when instincts are creeping up on himā to bruise your wrist whenever you try to let go, to trap you in this manor to protect you, to have so prettily dolled up in the treasures of the world that youād never want to go anywhere elseā¦Ā
⦠but having you here right now, laughing at the cream on his nose, is more than enough. the hybrids do well to protect you and he does his best too. he hopes that this domestic bliss with you all will never end and that those monstrous instincts that want to⦠do things to you⦠will forever be kept in the dark.
RELATIONSHIPS: zhongli is a bit more fearful of him than he lets on, but the territorial instinct within him always tries to rile up neuvillette whenever they meet. neuvi isnāt one to lose to another dragon so easily. but on a lighter note, he enjoys tea time with wriothesley and aether and advises the younger hybrids whenever they need it.
DILUC is a peregrine falcon who has been skulking in the shadows of city life ever since he escaped from his previous owner. aether had come across him while he was on one of his stakeouts and after seeing the horrible state the hybrid was in, invited him to your manor. for the first weeks, he was obviously apprehensive, but seeing how well the hybrids were being taken care of, eased up you over time.
DILUC lives a relatively quiet life in your manor, helping out in the kitchen or going out on patrols whenever needed. heās quite famous among the hybrids and servants for his bartending skills, and when the night calls for it he can be found stirring behind the counter to entertain some of the more liquor-inclined hybrids. venti is one of his usual patriots, strumming on his lyre for the entire manor. DILUC is a bit fearful of serving you alcoholic drinks, especially in a manor full of hybrids ready to pounce on you at any time, so when you order one he tends to leave out the alcohol and just let the placebo effect run its course.
one of the strongest from your non-mythical hybrids, he gets pestered by the others to clean up their messes. he looks irritated and will scold them for their incompetence, but he cleans up after them nonetheless. sometimes, you can catch him sparring with the younger hybrids as he instructs them on their posture and strategy. his words are harsh, but you can tell by how he pats their head and how fondly he thinks of them.
when it comes to you, however, DILUC noticeably becomes softer. he speaks to you softly rather than grumpily, and you often find yourself blushing with how tender he treats you sometimes. heās quite patient with your mistakes and is happy to guide you through them. thereās nothing more he wants than to see you grow into a splendid and pure person, untouched by the corruption of society. he wishes that your eyes will stay the same, naive and innocent, that you wonāt ever have to be burdened by your status as heir. alas, he knows that itās nothing more than wishful thinking.
heās taught himself how to suppress his hybrid traits, feeling nothing but distaste for them as they were the one thing his previous owner coveted so much. his wings were nothing more than a symbol of his inferiority, the natural chirps thatād come with his speech embarrassing, and his animal form a vulnerability that could be easily targeted. indeed, heās been living most of his days as a human rather than a hybrid, but that couldnāt possibly be healthy for him. you try to encourage him to let himself go, and although heās long forgotten how to turn back into his animal form or chirp, he sometimes lets his wings unfurl whenever heās alone with you. he finds comfort in how your gentle hands preen and pet his feathersā so careful and tender, unlike his previous master.
should you stay inside the manor for the rest of your life, DILUC would be more than pleased. heās ready to let everything go just for the sake of simple domesticity with you and the others. literally no red flags will be popping up because heās satisfied with sheltering you from the dangers of the outside world. however, such an outcome is unlikely, and you taking up your fatherās seat is the more likely scenario here. in that case, DILUC cannot help but swear to be by your side forever, watching over you and making sure that you do not go to the deep end.
danger lurks in every corner and DILUC just might go insane watching you teeter on such a perilous situation. he might consider dragging you away from that life and force you back into the safety of your manor. you donāt need to do all that, right? you donāt actually need to run the company by yourselfā thatās what your hybrids are here for! heās on his knees, begging you to come back to a life of safety. you can dress up fancy once in a while, and enjoy yourself at those galas, but youāll be less of an owner and more than a face. who cares, really? being a puppet doesnāt sound all that bad, not when youāll be dolled up and pampered and cared for for the rest of your life.
RELATIONSHIPS: kaeya and venti are always badgering him for another drink, which he icily ignores. heās a bit of a lone wolf, but with the rest of your security team, their silent camaraderie allows them to carry out missions in the dark and protect you whilst lurking in the shadows.
it was by pure coincidence that you guys found THOMA. the handsome gentleman whoās always been helping out the villagers has always greeted you with a smile and offered to eat chicken skewers whenever you stopped by to visit and hence has been one of the things you looked forward to whenever you visited the village. whilst on a trip to the village with ayato, he took one look at the blonde man and with a coy smile greeted him like they were old friends. which they probably were, because ever since that day THOMA has been a part of your hybrid family as your resident dogboy.
THOMA seems to be able to do it all! the servants love him for his help around the house and his cheerful and easygoing personality. sometimes heās cooking with the chefs, other times heās scrubbing the tiles with the maids, or heās trimming the garden with the gardeners. you often fret that maybe heās pushing himself too hard, but he always laughs it off and assures you that he loves what he does. you donāt quite get the appeal, but heāll distract your worries with a dessert that heās whipped up just for you.Ā
ayato doesnāt usually command him but whenever he does, THOMA is quick to follow. you donāt quite exactly know their past relationship, other than the fact that ayato was his superior, but THOMA says that ayato isnāt as bossy as he used to be. perhaps itās because youāre the master of this house already. you donāt have to worry about making conflicting commands with ayato (because ayato would ensure that heās lovingly brainwashed you enough to always agree with him), but if he ever does prioritize ayatoās commands, itās only for your own good.
it puzzles you a lot, but THOMA seems to enjoy serving others, most especially you. he is happiest whenever he sees your delighted face at waking up to a platter of your favorite food for breakfast. he finds comfort in brushing your hair and weaving flowers in between the strands. whenever youāre sad, it is his utmost pleasure to poof into his dog form and curl up into your lap, letting you stroke his golden fur as you sob your feelings out. he wants nothing more than to treat you right, to be there by your side as you try to navigate the world and its complex intricacies.
heās fiercely loyal to you and the hybrids, so much so that heās blinded by it. he does not care about whether or not you have done something wrong; it will always be the outsiders who need to be eliminated. THOMA is a different person whenever he finds out that a subordinate of yours has betrayed you. he canāt even fathom it. who in their right mind would betray you? what is there about you to drag through the mud? THOMA only views it as a mere clean-up whenever he kills off one of the bastards. were it not for the blood thatās been carelessly splattered on his clothes, no one could even guess that your smiling gentleman had killed someone.
THOMA is a selfless and devout worshipper, and he gives everything that he is to you. should you proceed on inheriting your right, he will do everything in his power to spread your influence and good name. ayato usually calls on him whenever you need something special done, simply because of his vast network of connections. youāre a bit frightened when THOMA casually mentions an assassin he knows. he reassures you though, that this is all for your good! he says it so gently, as if he doesnāt have his fingers in multiple dangerous resources.
on a more domestic issue, THOMA has a guilty pleasure of seeing you sick. he knows itās bad to wish harm upon someone as sweet and dear as you, but it fills him with such sick pleasure to be the one to look after your vulnerable state. he dotes on you a lot more, and if you werenāt so sick you could see the sweet obsession on his face as he wipes your sweat away. he thinks of asking one of the more science-y hybrids to slip a little something into your food now and then (he knows theyāre more than willing to. hell, he knows theyāve already been doing that), but he thinks better of it. he loves you more when youāre smiling, sitting side by side with him without a care in the world.
RELATIONSHIPS: thoma is friends with everyone, even the villagers down below! if heās not by your side, heās at ayatoās, indulging him in his eccentric whimsies and often being the victim of his pranks. aether is often pestering him to rest, so when heās not doing any chores, heās often found taking a nap in the garden in his fluffy dog form.
you found BENNETT injured and alone outside of your house one day and you, already used to this song and dance, hurriedly ran with the bunny in your arms to the first aid kit. the poor thing had small nicks and scars all over its body, ash-gray fur matted with dried blood and mud. it took a lot of days for the bunny to recover enough to wake up, but when it did, it was already bounding with limitless energy and a sunny disposition. upon seeing you again, it bounded up to you, and with a poof!, BENNETTās boyish grin greeted you in his hybrid form. āthanks for helping me out! iām bennett, mind letting me stay here?ā
how could you not say no to that charming smile? you found out that BENNETT had been abandoned by his previous owner after the unluckiness he had brought themā termites in their walls, couch eaten by moths, etc.ā which seemed like a cruel joke because they had explicitly bought him for luck. you also realize that BENNETT finds some shame in his whole animal form, finding its scarred appearance ugly, and he often flattens his ears against his head to hide the cuts. he wishes that he could take a fully human form but alas, it seems that heās still not skilled enough to reach that level.
BENNETT really tries his best but whatever he does seems to end up in failure. he doesnāt let this get him down though! he believes that eventually, heāll run out of his unluck and be able to live a normal life. of course, this still spells trouble for everyone around him, so servants donāt usually ask him to do anything. heās understanding of it, but it does make him a bit glum. thankfully, youāre here to cheer him up! making him run errands to the village shouldnāt trigger too much of his unluckiness⦠right?
heās really touch starved, but heās afraid to be near you let alone touch you. although he knows it's irrational, he canāt help but be paranoid that maybe just touching you is enough for his bad luck to rub off on you. youāve already been kind enough to take in a mess like him, so he doesnāt want to make things worse by affecting you of all people. your sincerity and concern are enough to have him falling all over again for you, but when you catch him off guard and scratch his floppy ears, he melts into a contented puddle and into your touch.
BENNETT gets needier the more affection and touch you shower him with, but he tries his best to distance himself (though he fails). your kind eyes have been his only saving grace in a world where he was born to be sold and abandoned and the cycle repeated. you, who are so different from his sneering masters who saw him as nothing more than a pesky hybrid, have given him reason to power through all the pain heās been feeling. whenever he does something successful, he gets all quiet and squirmy as he awaits your praise. when he doesnāt get it, heās sent into a spiral of gloom and self-doubt.
should there be a dangerous mission that needs to be executed, the best candidate for the job is BENNETT who will do his utmost to make the job succeed no matter what. it doesnāt matter if his bad luck is getting in his wayā he has to finish the job so he can make you happy. even though heās wrapped up in bandages and suffering near-fatal injuries, he shoots you a thumbs-up and a happy grin as guilt settles in your heart. itās painful, but what is a little pain compared to helping you succeed and rise to the top?
all of his motivations are spurred by the need to be acknowledged by you and to stay by your side. heās already used up his luck in finding you, and he doesnāt want that to run out anytime soon. a deep fear encompasses his whole being; a fear that one day you might abandon him like the rest of them. but that wonāt happen! because BENNETT sucks up whatever life throws his way, fatal or not, and continues to charge forward. if he makes himself useful, then surely youāll still allow him to stay by your side, no?
RELATIONSHIPS: a hybrid on the younger side, heās often playing with razor and the other youngins. since the hybrids all have their own unique dispositions, no oneās quite bothered by the disastrous aftereffects that his unluckiness brings. heās often sparring with kaeya as he learns how to fight from him.
when GAMING first arrived, he gave everyone quite a fright. it was a peaceful day out, only for it to be ruined by one of the maids screaming. when you rushed out to see what was going on, you were greeted by a lion cub yawning on a big warm rock, unbothered by the stares directed at it. peeking one eye open, it finally saw the pairs of eyes on him until it met yours and with a grin (the maids shrieked again, mistaking it for bared fangs), he jumps from the rock and poofs into his hybrid form. a cute boy with twitching ears and sparkling eyes gazed up at you with an eager look on his face.
you all warmed up to the lion cub pretty quickly. GAMING was both cheerful and calm, and overall a pleasant boy to hang around with. you heard that heās made fast friends with the villagers downhill and every time he comes back he always brings treats to share with everyone. to you, he personally sees to it that you eat the little treats he brings home. you think he likes to watch you eat, with how earnestly his eyes follow your handsā every move and the excited wagging of his tail as he watches your expression. you try to feed him too, but he insists that you eat it because he bought it just for you.
heās so charismatic and sincere that you find yourself blushing at the simplest of his actions. like when you walked into the hybrids taste testing the head chefās newest treat, he quickly offered up a spoon for you to eat from. as he eagerly awaits you to eat from the spoon, you start blushing with how close GAMING is to your face and coupled with his earnest expression as well. the other hybrids drill into the back of his head with his deathly stare, so much so that the head chef decides to nope out of the situation and escape into the next room. heās just a natural gentleman, you suppose, though it does attract some irked glances your way.Ā
however, heās not as composed when itās your turn to shower him with affection. one time, you decided that it was nice enough weather to eat your teacakes outside. not one to pass up on snacks, GAMING quickly took you up on the offer to accompany you and your mind suddenly thought of taking revenge on him by teasing him with a teacake. it took a long time for him to realize, but when he finally processes the slowly closing gap between you and him, he makes a startled yelp and scrambles back. you sit back, amused at his steaming face and panicked eyes, before laughing at his expression and finally handing him the snack. your giggles continued to ring throught the garden as he very adorably pouted and whined you to not surprise him like that.
GAMING is very overprotective of you. understandably so, since you are the naive heir of a multmillionaire company squirreled away in the boonies whoās never experienced the real world. he has no problem killing off outsidersā heās got no emotional attachment to them, so he slices through them quickly and easy like knife and butter. but heās at a loss when you hurt yourself. itās a given that you might get overexcited when youāre let out into the outside world, but sometimes that makes you a little bit reckless. his eyes widen and his breaths go uneven when he spots the bloody scrape on your knee, but he swallows it down and quickly tends to it like a good big brother. he scolds you lightly, but there is something⦠unsteady⦠underneath that brotherly smile.
the more you move up to the world, the more at odds he is with himself. he realizes more and more that itās becoming nigh impossible for him to protect you. soon, the worldās eyes will be on you, and there will be no place for an insignificant beast like him to insert himself in. he argues with the other hybrids to stop this, to stop you, because sooner or later all this money and fame will kill you. others empathize with him, then others support your rise. GAMING grows more unstable as he watches you put yourself in more and more dangerous situations all for the sake of duty.
there are more powerful hybrids in this house, so GAMING canāt possibly act on his wishes, but he prays that he can just break that leg of yours or leave you incapacitated enough that you are unable to inherit your rights. itās your father, isnāt it? shackling you down with a life you never asked for. he wishes that youād never have to live a life so burdened by the decisions of your father, that youād continue eating dimsum and cakes with him and the others like before. but all he can do is join the fight to protect you, the only thing he can do as a humble beast.
RELATIONSHIPS: gaming is often spotted enjoying snacks with chongyun and xingqiu or taking out the other security team members to a nice food stall in the village. because aether is a cat, he often asks him for tips on how to fight, believing that he could learn from a stronger feline. he is also often seen staring wide-eyed at zhongli and getting shy when the mythical dragon greets him.
LYNEY approaches you on one of your visits to your fatherās building, with a charming smile on his face and endless magic tricks to entertain you with. you are quickly drawn in by his charisma, but when youāre held back by a frowning and apprehensive aether, you decide to behave yourself. aether is often never wrong in his assumptions about people, and perhaps there is more to the friendly boy than meets the eye. LYNEY, however, plays the pity card, slightly raising his hat and showing off the pair of twitching cat ears on his head. he puts it down and pleads his caseā a hybrid on the runaway from his abusive owner. you gasp and aether falters, and after enough pleading with him, youāve added another catboy to your collection of hybrids.
half of the house is torn about LYNEY. the more naive ones welcome him into the fray, eager to have another hybrid and harem member to play with. meanwhile, the wiser ones can sense that something is⦠off about him. none of them have definite proof to back up their suspicions, so none of them bother to tell you. if youāre perceptive, you can sense how on edge they are, but if youāre not then youāre also easily taken in by him as well. no one can deny that LYNEY treats you like you ought to be treatedā delicate yet playful, serving you like youāre royalty and him the servant.
although LYNEY treats you like a friend, there are times when he feels immeasurably distant from you. you often catch sight of his darkened gaze directed at you, but when you ask him whatās wrong, he just shakes his head and forces a smile. you think that his eyes look at you with some sort of sadness, but you never push it. you ask the other hybrids if they know LYNEY well, and though they regale you with tales of his magic and friendliness, they never say anything more than that. you wish that heād come to find his manor as his home⦠though when you bring this up to neuvillette, he just shakes his head and pats you. āsome things just cannot be replaced,ā he says, and you wonder if the magician had left something behind at his old place.
when he got this job, LYNEY thought that it would be an easy one. a spoiled rich kid with numerous hybrids at their every call⦠it sounded just like the slavers he abhorred so much. his apprehension was shattered when he met you in the building lobby, fiercely protected by aether like you were some sort of precious treasure. he recalled the way your eyes widened in compassion upon hearing his story and his conflicted feelings only grew stronger when he entered your home and was surprised at how⦠happy everyone was. all the hybrids heād seen, including himself, were miserable. they could be lucky enough to not get an abusive owner, but that didnāt change that they were essentially slaves. here, however, everyone was free. the only thing that tethered them to this place is because they wanted to be with you.
ever since heās stepped into this manor, itās been lies upon lies upon lies. LYNEY never really lets himself get too close to the others, and heās also well aware of the way the more guarded ones look at him. when it comes to you, however, he wishes that he didnāt have to wear such a facade. if itās you⦠then maybe youād accept him, madness and all. instead, he continues to feed you half-truthsā his past abuse, his loneliness, the loss of his siblingsā and delights in the affection he receives. he canāt get enough of your attention, even if it is directed towards a half-fiction version of him. but he curls up in your lap nevertheless, purring contentedly as you pet him and ease wallow in the bitterness of his life.
⦠he thought itād be easy, but LYNEY thinks this is the hardest mission heās been ever given. the knife is already pressed to your throat, so whatās stopping him from slitting it? his hands canāt budge, and guilt and desire only overwhelm him as he watches your sleeping face. youāve given him more love than he deserves, and he canāt seem to get enough of it. youāre so gullible and naive, falling for his tricks and lies, feeding him information that could lead to your downfall⦠what could you possibly do when he leaks everything? right⦠thatās right⦠your entire life depends on him. that night, he curls up to your bed, pressing kisses to your cheek and whispering all the betrayals heās done to you. heās still torn about whether to continue lying or to bare his entire soul to you, but either way, youāll still be the captivating thing heās laid his eyes on.
RELATIONSHIPS: the moment freminet arrives, heās ecstatic. aside from his usual magic shows and entertainment, he never sticks around the others for far too long. heās only spending time with freminet and you, though he and aether have a quiet solidarity as cat hybrids.
I know u probably have actual like designated rooms and living arrangements in mind for your hybrid au, but I think it's so much funnier to imagine that these hybrids are either A) sleeping in the weirdest, most random places because there's not enough cushion or beds available. or B) the reader was forced to buy one of those comically large, long, and extremely big beds that all the hybrids sorta just curl and cuddle up together š
to be honest, A definitely happens. just because you and your rich kid ass had rooms renovated especially for them and their respective ideal habitats, they are hybrids, so they can live sleeping wherever. a lot of them just sleep wherever is most convenient, so night time is usually a mess of hybrids curled up somewhere convenient for them and inconvenient for the servants.
imagine one of the newly-hired chefs prepping for breakfast and opening the cupboard where the glass is stored, only to yelp and jolt back when they find a dove sleepily unfurl their wings and hop out of the cupboard. the other chefs are so unfazed while the newbie gawks as the dove pops into a venti naked save for the wings wrapped around him and sleepily ambles out of the kitchen.
it's a black out and one of the servants only has a candle to guide their way down the hallway and to the generator only to startle when they nearly trip over a hulking mass of meat. itto, conked out in the middle of hall, grumbles in his sleep before rolling over. sighing, the servant continues on his way before nearly stepping on a sleepy blonde rabbit curled into himself as he mimimis the night away. this goes on for the rest of the hallway and just when the servant thinks he's finally awake, a pair of glowing eyes pierce through the dark and give him a heart attack. it's heizou, who's been watching the poor thing stumble around like a fool in the dark, and decided to give him a scare just to end things on a merry note.
thank u for wait!! hereās sum year-end chilumi angst⦠;w; once again, childe being attached to lumine, but also being far too gone that heās starting to lose himself haha whaaat
i know i just sent something in but the twins are very much blank slates i see lumine a lot more obsessive and her brother a lot more possessive but they both are equally overprotective
lumine is a bit emotionlessĀ and detached. when you talk to her, her answers are curt and short, direct to the point. sheās not one to start conversations, but that doesnāt mean sheās unfriendly. she just... doesnāt know how to express herself very much.Ā
but her hands linger a bit too long on your skin and you feel a bit uncomfortable under her golden gaze, gobbling up every single detail on your body. nevertheless, when she flashes you one of her tiny smiles, you feel like an angel has descended in front of you.
aether is the friendlierĀ one of the twins. heās not exactly loud, but he knows how to keep a good conversation going. he has a gentle smile on the entire time, giving off a charming older brother appeal to the children of mondstadt.Ā
his grips are tight, especially when he thinks youāve been lingering around someone else for too long. you donāt know how much longer you can stay trapped at his side. his touch, however, is warm and comforting. rubbing your back gently, he whispers a gentle demand for you to stop being so close to that merchant boy. you end up submitting.
the twins, unsurprisingly, have enraptured everyone with their beauty and strength. the honorary knights of favonius, the tamers of dvalin. they have songs and tales written all about them. theyāve been gifted with the most supportive of friends and companions, and for that, they are extremely grateful.
but none of that really ever comes to mind when it comes to your protection.
after all, your life and safety is of more importance than anything in this world.
| summary: reader is bisexual and scared as fuck i have no idea what im doing the twins kinda kidnapped her
( tw: kidnapping, mild n/sfw, implied noncon )
ābig brother,ā the female one murmurs to her male counterpart, round yellow eyes staring down at you widely as you start to gain your senses. āare they not very pretty?ā
he looks to you, eyes wider and less sharp than the girlās, and smiles warmly. the two of them exceed worldly beauties, their hairs woven from the dawnās pale rays and their eyes glittering like golden beauties. their skin is fair and white, the girl brushing her dainty fingers against your cheek while she continues to study your face.
almost like the stars themselves. and you should be appreciating that because you love the stars more than you love yourself.
except these two shining stars in front of you make you feel nothing but cold, cold fear.
āwhere⦠am i?ā you croak out, feeling surprised at the rasp in your voice. she widens her eyes, the first of emotions youāve seen on her, and she hurriedly looks to her brother.
āaether,ā she calls out. āit talks.ā
aether chuckles, placing down the mortar and pestle heās been busying himself with. āof course they do, lumine. theyāre human after all. i met them while i was traveling through mondstadt and let me tell you, their voice was prettier than the anemo archon.ā
lumine cocks her head. āprettier than ventiās?ā she brushes your hair out of your eyes. āwill they sing for us every day then?ā
āoh, they will,ā he croons, a malicious lilt in his voice not matching his innocent features. āevery day, every night, theyāll sing. when we get tired from our adventures, theyāll sing whether they like it or not. our little own nightingale.ā he peers at you. āour very first pet.ā
you feel something smooth down your chest and quickly see his hands tuck into your blouse while she hovers her small face above yours. they both smell like mint and earth.
āhmm.ā lumine traces your lips with her fingers and smiles. āsay, iād like to hear them sing.ā
aether chuckles, āthen why donāt you provoke it out of them?ā
without another word, lumine slips two fingers into your hot mouth and prods at the struggling wet muscle, enjoying the blush that paints your cheeks and the little whimpers that escape you. the brotherās fingers trace down the curves of your torso and then finally grabs your hips, nibbling small kisses along your neck as you pant and shake underneath their touch and heated gaze.
my, what lucky position youāve gotten yourself into.
a/n: warming up to go back to tumblr because i cannot stop thinking about zhongliās (ass)ets fuckkk whyd mihoyo make them hot⦠this was a bit of a bore but hush hush
that last line of the brother ask made me go OHHHHHHHHHHHH DAMNNNNNNNN
In a non-requesty way lol, do you think the twins would be slowed down if a Reader who obviously has zero interest in romance constantly talks about how ātheyāre only attending this school so they can have access to information to find their twinā
And that Reader just āwants for people to mind their own business, and not hinder their efforts / trail after them just because they want attentionā
they get it. they totally do. in this reincarnation, the twins have no experience of being separated, but somehow when they even think of the idea... it makes their heart ache so bad.
an elite school is a perfect place to go to if you're looking for information. you're surrounded by the elite who has webs of information attached to their fingers! with your charm, it'd be easy enough to make them give the information you need. the downside however, well, now you've got a whole harem after you.
you go to the twins for support because they're really the only people who can successfully pretend they're not just as obsessed with you for a very long time. surely they'll empathize with your situation! a lower to middle-class citizen who manages to snatch a scholarship through hard work, evading threats and keeping calm under scrutiny all for the sake of finding a lost twin. and they do, they really do.
no matter how many boundaries you try to set with the other harem members, no one ever listens to you. others try to convince your twin isn't worth it, and others will sell their souls to do anything for you. you don't want anyone getting dragged into your mess! and the twins know that, so now they act as your bodyguards in secret, warding off any incoming obsessed lovers as they support you in your journey as much as they can.
they'll respect your wishes and cease their attempts to court you, but that doesn't mean that's the end. once you find your twin, you'll have them to thank for not being kidnapped or drugged by one of your predators. they'll get your twin's blessing and surely, surely after that you'll finally come to love both of them.
tbh academy harem is alr n all but i would def go to my girlies (lumine, my love š)
omg anon you're so right for that šš lumine will always be the hottest person around swear if i were in this academy id never leave her side
you might like: yandere! genshin academy au + aether
"hmph."
"aether, are you mad."
"hmph."
lumine sighs, biting off the last of her popsicle. the wooden stick reveals the 'win!' carved on it and she hands it out to her twin. "here, you can redeem the gift. just don't be mad at me, ae."
"i don't want your leftovers, lumine." aether still refuses to look at her. "you can take your prize, just like you always do."
she sighs once more as she feels a headache coming on. neither of them were really the type to have inferiority issues, especially when they were mostly equal in every aspect. but as they all say, all good things come to an end, and aether has begun tearing apart their good relationship for his silly nonsense.
"ae, can't you see this as a good thing? the more [your name] spends around me, the more you'll get to hang out with them too. then you can use that as an opportunity to grow closeā"
"but they only like you!" he whines, stomping his foot down like a petulant child. "if they do hang out with me then it's only because they want to see you!" lumine's usually cool face quirks into a smile as she watches her brother throw a tantrum. "don't you dare laugh, lu! you think this is funny, don't you?!"
she shrugs. "it's not my fault i'm so damn hot."
"we share the same face!"
she continues to watch aether as he sulks, before she suddenly remembers something. "oh. right. i need to ask one of our upperclassmen to tutor me for the finals." aether glares at her through teary eyes.
"what the hell are you talking about?" he grumps. "we both know you don't need that."
"well, i was thinking of inviting [your name] over to our house for the weekend," lumine starts, feigning innocence. "but if you don't want that then..."
"wait wait wait." aether frantically tries to stop lumine as she twiddles with her hair. "mā maybe i need the refresher too..."
"hm, thought so."
"let's send a selfie to childe while we're at it. he'll be so jealous."
"yeah, let's break his heart even more."
and so the twins continue on their merry way, the bond of blood and shared love repairing their relationship in an instant.
hiii, i just read your pyro hybrid fic and i wanted to ask whatās the deal with lyney? is he on some fatui business? why does he want to harm reader? and how long will it take for him to realize he literally canāt? also you ate with his characterization, ngl
ehehehe thanks! i wanted to incorporate his being two-faced(?) in the original in this au!
re: yandere! hybrid! pyro genshin + lyney
you're the heir of a really big corporation and lyney is just one of the many pawns sent out to take a hit on you. the difference between him and the rest is that he actually succeeded entering your close circle (thanks to his nature as a hybrid and the half-true sob story he made up). he doesn't have a personal vendetta against you, but a job is a job and he doesn't want to make Father angry, yanno?
you and the other hybrids have been nothing but nice to him (at least, the ones who aren't suspicious of him), so he tried his best to distance himself from the rest. only when he first sneaked into your room to finish the job did he finally realize that he just can't bring himself to kill you! ever since then, on a random morning you'll occasionally wake up with lyney's cat form curled up into a black ball beside you.
he's trained to elude suspicion, so most of the hybrids don't have a clue as to what's going on. the smarter ones are itching to take action, but they can't when they see you happily chatting away with him with a big smile on your face.
Context: Being a decent person is quite a rare thing in NRC and many of the students there wanted to have some time with you, but your inner circle of friends won't let that slide at all. Here are some of their reaction to someone bothering their time with you.

Mafia fishes are canon and I will not take criticism. Rosie can'tā ofcā sleep again. Very predictable. Why? probably just the over looming thoughts as usual. Nothing new nothing new
anyways I hope you enjoy this! I do realize that it was calmer with Savanaclaw, and I hope this one is... me.dium size chicken nuggies?
Finding you is the first thing he plans to do after getting out of that cursed Fortress of Meropide. Surely you wouldn't leave him a second time, right?

Making the trip up to your kitchen window wasnāt difficult, per se. The fire exits on the old apartment complex youād moved into were rusty, sure, but it was nothing Childe couldn't handle. If anything, it was the waiting that bothered him most. He couldn't be caught scaling the building in daylight, of course, he doesnāt want anyone getting the wrong idea.
It was such a shame, really, that he'd come home to an empty house when heād finally gotten some time off. And after how terribly he'd been treated in Fontaine too- you could stand to be a little nicer to him, yāknow?Ā
Honestly, it was pretty mean of you, making him track you down like this. He does his best not to get too angry, though. Surely, you'd been so distraught all alone in that big house of his, there can't be any other possible reason you'd leave like that.
Weren't you so lucky to have such an understanding boyfriend?
He slips through the window, one leg after the other, but it doesn't go as smoothly as he would've liked. Only a step into your apartment, and Tartaglia trips over your trashbin, taking it down with him. Shit.
It's loud- too loud. For a moment, he worries it's enough to wake you, but there's no flicker of the light that he expects to come after.
How very silly of you. What were you thinking, keeping the trash right in front of the window? What if some crazed lunatic broke in and that was your only escape?Ā
You've always been a little stupid, but that's okay, he still loves you. That's why he was here anyway, to keep you safe!
It doesnāt take long to navigate through your space- not that thereās much of it, you couldnāt afford anything else anyway, heād made sure of it. Youād only taken a small bit of his cash with you when youād left. It almost made him feel giddy inside, knowing that even now you depended on him just to get by.Ā
You really couldnāt do anything without him, could you? How cute.
Thereās another problem waiting for him when he makes it to your bedroom door, to which he canāt help but give the biggest eyeroll. Of course youād brought that damn cat. Itās already hissing at him before heās even touched the handle.
āHey-! Cut that out, will you??ā Somehow, it manages to get its paw stuck in his pant-leg- a miserable attempt at scratching him if heās ever seen one. Itās pathetic, really, how long it takes to shake the feline off.
It runs off right after, letting out a displeased mewl like it was particularly offended by his presence. Childe really, really hated that cat.
It wasnāt all bad, he supposes. After all, he wouldnāt have found you so quick without that insufferable creature. Thank the Tsarista heād thought to get it chipped- maybe he ought to do that to you, too?
And oh- itās just pure bliss when he finally passes through your doorway, into your room. He can already see your outline, tucked so tightly under the covers. Were you cold? Poor babyā¦
Heās careful not to wake you when he crawls up onto the mattress- youād probably be pretty upset if you caught him sneaking into bed with you. You were always so emotional like that.
He just missed you so so much- he really canāt help himself when he slips under the covers to get closer to youā¦
Is that a new sleep-shirt? Itās certainly not one of his- heāll have to fix that later. Tartaglia has to stop himself from laughing. Was this all just some tantrum because you wanted something new? You really didnāt need to be so difficult, heād buy you anything as long as it meant youād show a little more enthusiasm when he locked you in his home.
Gosh, heās reeling. You wouldnāt mind if he took a good whiff of you, would you? Heās nosing at your pulse before he can think it through any further. Youād just have to forgive him later. Youād let him make it up to you, yeah?
Heās quick to come to his senses when he feels you flinch- one hand covering your mouth before youāve any chance to scream.
Childe pulls back, and oh, youāre so adorable with those panicked eyes, he could just eat you up. It takes you a moment to fully register that heās really above you, that heās really found you, and then youāre kicking and hitting at him with all your might.
āAh, ah, ahā¦ā He tuts, using his own body weight to keep you restrained. Did you truly believe that youād be any match for him? So silly, that little mind of yours. Itās almost unbelievable that youād managed to get this far without him.
āOh malyshka, I know, I know.ā He hushes you when your tears begin to fall, leaning down to kiss them away. āI missed you too, so much. But we donāt hit, you know that.ā
A pathetic whine leaves your lips, muffled against his palm, and heās unable to hold the grin that it elicits from him. Stars above, itās been so long since heās properly heard you. Did you have any idea how weak you made him?Ā
āYouāll be good, wonāt you? If I let you speak?ā He coos, making kissy faces at you that only seem to make you sob harder. How fun.
But youāre a little too upset for his liking when he does finally remove his hand from your mouth.
āTartaglia-āĀ
He can only sigh in disappointment. It was all fun and games when you were only kicking and crying, but this is taking it a step too far. You know how he feels about you using that name. Whyād you have to go and ruin the moment?
It was starting to pick on his nerves, just how ungrateful you seemed to be. Heās always been so good to you, canāt you behave for him just this once?
āNo, wrong. Ajax.ā Ā His hand settles just over your throat, not squeezing, but just enough to shut you up a moment. āLetās try that again, okay? Ajax. Youāll say it for me, right?ā
You only claw at his wrist in response.
He doesnāt mean to shout, but youāre really testing his patience. He really doesnāt deserve to be treated this way, especially not by you. Itās hurting him, the way youāre misbehaving. Donāt you know that it hurts him to have to yell at you like this?
āThatās mean, malyshka. Youāre being mean.ā He presses his fingers harder against your skin, just a little- he can feel the racing thump of your pulse against his thumb.
āYouāre going to wake the neighbors with all that fusing, you know that? If I have to deal with them, thatāll be your fault. Is that what you want, malyshka? You want me to deal with them?ā
That seems to sober you up, because youāre silently shaking your head right after, all signs of fight gone out of you in mere seconds.
āIāll give you another try, yeah? What do we say?ā
āThank you-ā Youāre barely able to get the words out with how unsteady your breathing has become. āThank you, Ajax. Iāmā¦Iām so sorryā¦pleaseā¦ā
āThat wasnāt so hard, was it?ā He rubs his knuckles against your cheek, almost in an attempt to soothe.
āLetās just go to sleep, okay? Weāll talk about this more tomorrow, malyshka.ā
Childeās really not sure what to do with you. Youāre lucky that he just loves you so much, because youād be in a lot of trouble otherwise. Canāt you see that he just wants the best for you?
Eventually, you fall asleep, head tucked under his chin, wrapped in his arm. It feels great to be home, outburst and all.Ā
Heād have to find some way to mellow you out, though. With how busy the Fatui have been as of late, he really doesnāt have time to keep playing these games with you.Ā
Maybe he should just give you a baby. Youād be too busy to try running off again if he put a little more responsibility on your plate. Ajax had always wanted to be a father, anyway, and you were always so good with his little siblings- er, maybe good wasnāt exactly the best descriptor. Usually you just sat in silence when he brought you to visit his family. Rude, but he let it slide because it was you.Ā
Thatās okay, though. Youād learn. Surely there was some parental instinct in there, no?
And if you couldnāt physically carry his child, well, that was no issue. It wouldnāt be the first time Il Dottore had made a lab baby- he was sure heād be able to come to some sort of agreement with the second Fatui Harbinger.
For now, heās content just to have you in his arms again. Heās missed this, the peace you bring him, the comfort of your weight against him. It keeps him stable, just enough to not lose it entirely.
No matter what you do, Ajax really does love you.
---
A.N. Happy birthday to my least favourite ex aka Ajax Childe Tartaglia Genshin Impact I love hate you.
introducing!Ā these third-years have been taking care of you since you were a freshman! ranging from cute to mature to downright irritating, theyāre eager to spend time with you before graduation comes around. so youāll choose them, right? after all, theyāre so much better than these irritating prepubescent teens.
[Ā āmy, havenāt you grown! cāmere, lemme see how cuter youāve gotten!ā ]
⢠heās always been this way since you were a first-year, so clingy and generous with his affections. sometimes he squishes his cheek against yours, and most of the time heāll casually slip his hands into yours then take you on another wild goose chase. so unpredictable and free, but you wouldnāt have him any other way.
⢠another of the prodigious students this academy has, venti is quite known for his musical talent. heās refused all club recruitments, but heās the leader of one-too-many jam sessions around the school. when he has his eyes settled on you, he grins wildly and beckons you over to his side. the songs take on a more romantic vibe, and he laughs nervously when you ask him who are the songs about.
⢠heās unexpectedly wise, as if heās seen a great deal many things. when heās serious, his eyes take on a much forlorn look as he gazes at something you cannot see. in an instant, you see him not as your older friend but rather a respected senior.
⢠as your beloved senior, he feels it his duty to protect you no matter the cost. cutesy and fresh-faced though he may look, your existence tends to make him a bit more⦠irrational. how will you go about your days knowing that shadows follow you wherever you go? he must take care of them. anyone who dare harm you will fall prey to not just him, but as well as your other suitors.
⢠he knows heās irreplaceable in your heart, and that satisfies him to a certain extent. he is, after all, the one who took care of you when you were still new to such a grand school. so long as he has a place in your heart, venti has no qualms on letting everyoneās gaze settle on you.
⢠you are made to be praised, after all! his lyric books are all stashed in a shelf, and you can see the descent in sanity as you flip through them. embarassed, shy love poems written in neat handwriting eventually turn more frantic and incomprehensible. the lyrics turn darker and more fanatical, with some pages having⦠questionable stains on them. itās something heāll show you, once the two of you get a li~ttle bit more closer.
[Ā āah⦠ahaha! did youā did you see them? did you like it? do you want me to sing it for you?!ā ]
ā MYSTERIOUS TYPE. diluc | čæŖå¢å
[Ā āthere will always be a darkness in this world. therefore, you shall stand in the light and i, your shadow.ā ]
⢠there are many of those who fail master dilucās perception of purity. even he, himself, fails to meet his own standards. but you, despite all your flaws and the dark and twisted thoughts he knows you keep to yourself⦠hmph. well, you barely pass.
⢠heir to a winery business, itās not exactly unexpected for him to have this air of arrogance and superiorityĀ around him, but people tend to gape at the tender look in his eyes when his most beloved junior comes round the corner. they listen to him slightly nag at you for running in the hallways, but he smiles when he does so. even kaeya canāt believe his eye.Ā
⢠thereās something about you that reminds him of what he used to be like before his world was forcibly shattered. a light in your eyes, a determined spirit⦠itās something he wishes to protect. you are someone who heās allowed to stand by his side; he wonāt let you break.
⢠with the connections heās worked so hard to build, diluc easily has the assets to manipulate your surroundings. whether itās the people you surround yourself or the information that reaches you, he can control all of that. he wishes for you not to be victim to things that will potentially taint you.
⢠and keep in mind not to anything so⦠reckless. diluc canāt handle the slightest scar on your fingers. you will get uncomfortable over his panicky actions and uneven breathing, his hands roaming your entire body because he doesnāt believe in your assurances. were you hurt? who did that to you? were you even thinking? his overprotectiveness grows stronger as the days go by.
⢠his fingers ache at the thought of letting go of your skin, even when they burn red under his harsh grip. what he would give to lock you up and take care of you by himself. insane⦠yeah, heās going to turn into just that if one more of these filthy men touch you.
[Ā āhaah⦠to think of all the efforts iāve put into protecting you⦠only to end up breaking you myself.ā ]
ā FLIRTATIOUS TYPE. kaeyaĀ | åÆäŗ
[Ā āwhat, canāt handle a little heat? youāre still so cold to me as always.ā ]
⢠youād be lying if you said you havenāt gotten frustrated over kaeyaās teasing. you canāt figure out whether heās teasing you for more of your attention or because he still sees you as a child. one moment heāll propose a scandalous thought, then he brushes it off saying youāre too much of a child for that.
⢠you amuse him a lot, but he also finds comfort in you. life isnāt exactly easy living as the adopted son of the ragnvindir household, but when you approach him with a look of concern you try to hide, he canāt help but smile. honestly⦠youāre way too good for him! if only⦠if only some of your warmth could be replicated back home⦠then all would be perfectā¦
⢠but he canāt hope for too much, now can he? besides, with the way things are going, youāre all he ever needs. with his ample salary and the amount of free time has on his hands, heāll take you out to wherever you want and spoil you endlessly. if you want⦠when the both of you mature into adults, then you could travel the world together. itās something he suggests but shrugs off, but you can see the longingness in his eyes.
⢠heās one of the more ruthless ones in your harem. whether itās someone who dare sully your name with their filthy tongue or a fool who dares to lay a hand on you, heās usually the one to take action before the others can keep up. he takes his time, too. he loves the screams and the realization that they have messed up, but only because he knows that they have suffered under his hand. other than that, theyāre just squealing pigs under his feet.
⢠he has his morals, of course. he refuses to drag anyone who isnāt involved into this and despises the way diluc views people as assets for his plan to control you. he can smooth talk information out of someone, or use his familyās power to intimidate someone into doing small favors for him, but he wouldnāt stoop so low as to send someone into a bloodshed.
⢠your comforting presence⦠while it may be his saving grace, it is also his downfall. you both wonāt be able to see each other at school soon, and itās only a matter of time before you both walk separate paths during adulthood. to live a life without you⦠he refuses to spend another day wallowing in his loneliness. heāll⦠heāll keep you if he must, to train you into submision and be his comfort person forever⦠and ever⦠and ever.
[Ā āmy cute little junior, youāre not going to abandone me like the others⦠right?āĀ ]
ā STOIC TYPE. zhongli | åÆäŗ
[Ā āhave you come for another story? come, sit, your presence is the one i welcome the most.ā ]
⢠celestial knows how he managed to become student council president in his first year, but he did it. the former student president of two years, and only having recently retired in his third year, zhongli is lauded by most of the school as the driving force behind the student bodyās academic and competitive progress. knowledgeable and honorable, he attracts many eyes, but his eyes are only for you.
⢠he had taken interest in you during your first year. a naive thing wandering into the council room in need for some assistance. he had enraptured you with one of his eloquent lectures (and his ass, but youāll never dare say it). soon afterwards, you spent time in the council room listening to zhongli while serving him rice crackers and brewing tea for him as he had taught you.
⢠what a shame it had to be cut off because of the heavy load that came with council duties. but he had relieved himself of that responsibility now, and have made himself available to service and entertain you. so⦠spend some time with this lonely old man (isnāt he a year older than you). he needs the company.
⢠rules are something he highly reveres and you have him to thank as the reason why your harem hasnāt gotten out of hand. of course, you donāt know this, but all the boys do. there is a silent contract amongst themselves that he has reinstated, whether they like it or not. it irks him a bit to share you for a while with these immature men, but so long as he has your company, heāll be satiated for a little while longer.
⢠he does tend to get along with some people in the harem, namely xiao and aether. (and childe. sometimes.)Ā authoritative and well-respected, he gives them orders to look after you when he canāt. he can overlook their more⦠eccentric sides to them, especially because he doesnāt have the right to judge them. his days are usually spent admiring everything about you and learning everything about you, and heās undefeatedly the most well-learned when it comes to you
⢠you, too, have a role that he expects that you fulfill to your best performance. neglecting him simply wonāt do, not when he came down from his position just to spend more time with you. heās not above nicking a spear to your neck or manipulating people to put you in a difficult situation. heās used to the brighter side of you but⦠that desperate look in your face brings out a sadistic part of him.
[Ā āyouād do well to uphold your end of the contract, dear. one word and i can make those boys turn into bloodshed.ā ]
[Ā āwhy, if it isnāt my cute lilā junior! still need me to teach you the basics?ā ]
⢠whether itās with you or the other men in your harem, tartaglia is so damn competitive that it makes you want to tear your hair out ever time you have to socialize with this jock. he goes the extra mile to act all innocent while he makes jabs at your suitors right in front of their faces.
⢠he finds you very amusing. he likes to provoke you to get the teensiest bit of a reaction out of you, whether itās a cute pout (thatās an overkill for his heart) or a cold glare (even more of an overkill for his boner). although not always, he does tend to cross some lines with you, but rest assured that heāll always be on your tail pleading and whining for you to forgive him.
⢠despite being so annoying all the damn time, he takes on the role of a senior quite well. heās very accomodating and helpful, always offering a word of advice for the younger students. you do get some special attention, but you canāt exactly complain.
⢠surely youāre not thinking that his help is without a price, right? tartaglia may have some shady rumors on his back and he tells you that theyāre only partly true. his help has incurred you quite the large debt, hasnāt it? and heās quite the selfish man, so perhaps taking you as his cute lil playmate should more than compensate.
⢠when he has you wrapped in his multiple schemes, heāll laugh and gloat to his competitors, smug and confident in his abilities to destroy you and make you his. itās cute, he tells them, how they think of laying their hands on you. the both of you look so good together, even better than any of these undeserving menā the perfect match!
⢠he likes it when youāre helpess and docile at his feet, on the verge of giving up. no matter how many times he brings you up only to break you down again, heāll never grow tired of it. as your senior, isnāt it his job to guide you and make you even better? donāt worry, heāll take goood care of you.
[Ā āwonāt you look at that, still lacking. let me teach you how to do it better.ā ]
Thank u for my request! Can i have part 2 but with the seniors reaction?
continuation to this post !
venti is immediately pouting. seriously?? you're abandoning him for those yucky first-years? look, he knows all too well the feeling of looking after your cute little juniors. after all, he looked after you too! but this is just too cruel! don't you remember how he guided you and took extra care of you back when you were just a quivering, no-name newbie? he's crushed. crushed, he says! his jam sessions take on a rather dramatic and woeful sound, and his... um, questionable notebooks are filled with lines of mourning and... yeah, let's not talk about that stain.
diluc feels like he's about to snap. youāre testing him, right? how dense can you be to not be able to see the ulterior motives these children have. sneaky little rascals, sending sly smiles his way while they cling to you tight. you poor, naive fool. he knew you were dense, but the fact that you are unable to see through their round eyes and see them as the snickering devils that they are proves his theory right: you need to be locked away.
kaeya is nonchalant on the outside, but inside heās more than annoyed (and hurt, but heād rather die than admit it). you donāt look at him with hatred, no, but itād be nice if you shared that sweet affection you held for the first years with him too. he falters for a moment, before putting himself back together and continuing to trya nd woo you with his sultry voice and knowing smirk. no way heāll lose you to these pesks!
breathe in. breathe out. itās zhongli trying to restrain himself from dropkicking these brats. honestly, children these days, no sense of space and respect whatsoever! (no one refrains from pointing out heās only two years older... is he?) heās one of the more possessive people out of the bunch, and even though itās not on paper, itās basically an unspoken rule to not hog you all to yourself. heās tried to relay a small underlying threat to xingqiu once, but with his cheeky smile behind a light novel, the boy simply states that no oneās hogging you-- you just like the first years a lot more. zhongli has ordered xiao to try and disrupt any precious time with them, to which the boy had eagerly complied.
nah, childeās not taking this bs. when he sees you hanging around with those children, heās picking you up and slinging you over his shoulder. heās pouting, whining, the moment he sets you down. why them? why not him? whenever he crosses paths with the first-years, sparks of passive-aggressiveness fill the air. itās kind of pathetic (and funny, but youāre not gonna stroke his ego) when he tries to one up literal freshmen when heās supposed to be the bigger man. his affections and neediness are doubled, and so is his violent tendencies.
itto wonāt even notice that you like them more. when he sees you in school, heās quick to get super handsy no matter who your company is. the first-years canāt even do anything about it, just staring on helplessly as he whines in your ear about the student council or thatĀ āstupid tenguā thatās been berating him. theyāre convinced you donāt even see him as a senior. but to him-- seniors, juniors, classmates-- they make no difference! youāre his, and thatās all that matters in the end.
+ bonus-- the seniors donāt really mind aether hanging out around you. in fact, theyāre his go to for information and updates on your life. aether also doesnāt mind filling them in on the details, whether itās your scheduled shopping trip with the first-years or how razor napped on your lap today. after all, you are his beautiful senior! itās only fitting that heāll relay stories of your beauty to the rest of your worshippers.
