Mondstadt Boys Reverse Harem HCs.
Somebody help this man. Diluc genuinely loses sleep over trying to figure out how best to appeal to you, wanting nothing more than to have you return his feelings. He kind of shoots himself in the foot by doing things for you in the shadows. You’ll always find your tabs always paid for, your rent is taken care of on months finances were tight, a lack of monsters in areas you frequent. He hopes to have the confidence to tell you some of that was him one day.
He is very gentleman-like with you, something that wins brownie points. Diluc holds the door for you, pulls out your chair, offers you his jacket if it’s cold out, the entire works. Kaeya snickers over how basic his approach is, but as long as you seem receptive, he could care less. You can expect him to always walk you home. It doesn’t matter that you wield a Vision, or that you’re adept with a weapon, he is walking you home and that’s that. Diluc is very stubborn about this, but it’s only because he cares for you so much!
Diluc is deeply appreciative when you initiate and lead the conversation. He’s an excellent listener, despite his almost constant poker face, taking in your every word as if it were scripture. Although, he has a bad habit of dropping his eyes to your lips, yet vehemently denies this accusation. It’s worse on days where there’s some sort of pigment on your lips, this man is so touch starved, he’ll be staring at them in silent awe.
He has, for his credit, tried having “talks” with Kaeya about you. Diluc is firm in the fact that Kaeya wouldn’t be any good for you, given their history and Kaeya’s original mission. While he is possessive, at his heart, he cares deeply for your safety and wellbeing. Of course, these talks never really make progress. Kaeya just ends up with more stuff to tease him over when you’re around.
Deep down, he’s insecure about your thoughts on him. He’s polite and well-mannered, but is that enough to successfully win you over? Diluc fears he’s going to come off as too protective because well, he is, as a result of losing so many people he’s cared for. In those times he’s at such a loss and it’s only exacerbated by the attention you’re given by others.
The silver-tongued Kaeya finds himself unexpectedly worried over your impression of him. He’s aware that he has a bit of a reputation, and while such things don’t normally matter, you’re important to him. He wants to make you blush, yes, but he also wants his interest to appear sincere as he feels it is. This is the first time he’s truly loved someone and it’s somewhat unnerving.
Kaeya’s internal dilemmas rarely rise to the surface, he commands his body language and general demeanor perfectly. He takes a more traditional approach to romancing you, asking you out on dates to get delicious food, or offering to go stargazing. The time you spend together never feels uneventful. He makes an adventure out of everything, easily able to entertain you for hours on end with his wit and charm.
He is unfairly observant. Kaeya catches the indiscreet, longing looks Diluc sends your way, how Venti trips over himself to catch your attention, how the composed Chief Alchemist of the Knights keens his ear when you speak. Unsurprisingly, he’s most interested in challenging Diluc. He’s the easiest of the bunch to rile up, and well, he’s had practice his entire life.
The atmosphere when both Diluc and Kaeya are around you is… horrifying, honestly. They’re both exchanging forced niceties and ingenuine smiles. Neither of them thinks the other deserves your affections, and as the saying goes, all is fair in love and war.
Kaeya is able to spend more time with you than Diluc can, due to the latter often being away on business, and boy does he rub that in. He’ll exchange inside jokes with you, refer back to events that only you two were present for, ignoring the holes that his brother glares into his head. Of course, there’s the added benefit of seeing you smile and laugh. He’s enjoying himself a little too much.
Albedo puts a great deal of thought into how he will interact with you. The first few times you two speak, you may notice he comes off as reserved, especially when comparing it to his conversations with others. Initially, he had so much to say while working up the courage to approach you. When he finally managed to do so, he found himself uncharacteristically tongue-tied, and could only say the bare minimum as not to embarrass himself.
He wants so badly to get close to you but isn’t sure what the proper methods are. His area of expertise is concrete, it’s quantifiable and can be tested. Human relationships, on the other hand… he fears that if he messes up once, he might not get any more chances with you!
An edge that he has over the other boys is his work. Albedo is able to ask for your assistance on his simpler endeavors and purposefully picks places where you two can be alone together in peace. This is where he’s at his best. He’ll talk to you in detail about his work, what everything means, how he came to his conclusions. If you ask him a question, his heart might just burst from his chest.
He’s not a very confrontational person. Albedo actually finds it interesting to see how the others interact with you, taking mental notes on what is effective and what isn’t. Of course, he wouldn’t be too thrilled if they were making considerable advancements, and might even let Klee out of solitary confinement prematurely to act as a distraction lmao.
The sole exception to this rule is when Kaeya and Diluc are going at it. In that case, Albedo believes you’ll become disillusioned with their behavior, and simply watches the ensuing chaos. For how well-tempered Albedo is, he isn’t against throwing in a dry remark only for your ears about the two.
Venti is probably having the most fun out of everyone here. A natural extrovert and outgoing individual, he can get just about anyone to warm up to him, and he knows this. It doesn’t take long for him to spark up a friendship with you. There are no awkward silences or forced conversations, everything between you two flows so naturally. It’s almost as if you were lifelong friends.
He doesn’t really flirt on purpose? Sure, he can be a bit teasing, but a lot of his compliments for you are from the heart. Venti might say it in a lighthearted way, yet his words carry unexpected weight. You won’t ever doubt that he cares for you greatly. There’s this unexpected… somberness that will sometimes come out of nowhere. It’ll be gone as fast as it came, and he’ll return to his bubbly self in no time, but you still commit the experience to memory.
It goes without saying that you are his most precious muse! He’s never felt attached to sappy love songs, and while he might jokingly mention a mushy lyric here or there, lots of his newer songs are subtle in their loving touches. Venti composes words and meanings centered around belonging. That’s why you are to him at the core — a home he never had — one without the need to be defined by four walls.
Venti doesn’t stir up the pot with the others that much. He might dramatically cling himself to you, but he’d be pressed to tie you down. That goes strictly against his belief system and he could never bring himself to do it. Sure, he might make a silly jab at the others, though it stops there. He wants you to choose whatever will bring you the most joy, and if that isn’t him, well… it’ll hurt but at least you’re happy.
He might feel inclined to clue you in about his true identity and past eventually. However, he does so in such a crpyitc manner, that you can’t help but wonder if you’re looking too far into things. Not to mention, he is the king of deflection. Venti does have a considerable soft spot for you, so if you ever pouted hard enough, he might just break and tell you more. Might.
