itto is really loud at parties
the music may be so loud you can feel it vibrate in your chest, but itto is louder
and as soon as he saw you enter the party?
itto is shoving and moving past everyone, quite determined to talk to you
he and his gang have been scheming for months to get you two together
and tonight’s party was itto’s best chance, so far
but all parts of the plan to charm you went out the window
because itto is a flustered mess as he talks to you
constantly playing with his hair, shouting, and laughing at nearly everything you say
and his hands?!? goodness, itto doesn’t have any idea what to do with them
but at the same time, he feels so at ease and so happy when he’s talking to you
truly, itto feels so at peace and relaxed and honestly, the best he’s ever felt in—
hOLY MOLY THE COUNTDOWN IS STARTING?!?!? OH, CRAP, THE PLAN!!!
as the last ten seconds are being shouted, itto panics and just blurts out that he wants to kiss you
somehow, this silly oni managed to time it perfectly and you shared a cute, romantic, and totally radical kiss
and as soon as your lips parts itto screams in triumph
“wooo, i did it! i kissed them! take that genta and akira, i totally could— oh, uh, right! i know we just kissed but i was wondering if maybe we could— hmph! oh... i was going to say if we could go out or something but i’m cool with a few more kisses.”
kuki hates parties.
butttt, you were apparently going to be at this new year’s party so... kuki had to go
see, kuki had this massive crush on you
but it’s not really that noticeable. in fact, you might get the impression that kuki dislikes you
which is mostly because of her mask, hiding her wonderful smirks and smiles
so the instant you came to the party, kuki quickly put it away and made her way over to you
and she’s actually pretty sweet, and such a passionate speaker when you talk with her
she’s so smooth and charismatic, too!
and the bumping bodies and loud people give her the excuse to lean closer to you and gently slip her hand around your waist as people push past you two
but the party eventually gets to be too much for you two, so kuki brings you outside for some fresh air
and while you’re outside, kuki and you start to inch closer and closer together because of how cold it’s getting
you’re having personal and deep conversations, as well as some flirty banter that makes kuki a flustered mess
but your conversation gets interrupted by the people inside, as everyone was excitedly counting down to midnight
for a second, you and kuki just look at each other and both think “screw it, why not?”
but while you kiss her lips, kuki is internally screaming
she’s in complete disbelief afterwards, occasionally touching her lips
eventually, she finally snaps out of it and asks you out
“so, uh, would you like to go out sometime? i know we don’t talk that much, but i think we have a real chemistry and— oh, you’d like that? wonderful. so should we go back to the party or...? wanna ditch it? i heard there’s a nice sushi place nearby— my treat, alright?”
kazuha and loud parties don’t mix well
but he tries his best to talk to you, even if the butterflies in his stomach flutter every time you laugh
his soft voice can barely be heard over the music, even when he tries to lean in to talk to you
people also keep bumping into you two, pushing you two closer and closer together
so, at some point, kazuha just casually asks to get some fresh air with him
you two sneak away, grabbing your coats on the way, and go out for a nice walk at night
some of kazuha’s friends give him a weird look, and even some encouragement, but he quickly brushes them off and joins you outside
and with a nice and quiet atmosphere, you can finally talk with kazuha
he’s so sweet as you two walk, taking the outside part of the sidewalk
anytime a car comes by, kazuha’s hand comes up to the lower part of your back (just in case, he tells himself)
and whenever you need to make a turn somewhere, he’s gently guiding you by the shoulder
generally, kazuha unconsciously tries to be touching you at all times
he’ll be overjoyed if you want to hold onto his elbow and get close
literally, his heart is doing back flips as you hold onto him
but the quiet night is interpreted by the amount of fireworks that begin to go off
kazuha checks his phone and it’s nearly midnight now
although his heart rate speeds up, kazuha nonchalantly asks if you’d give him the honor to be your midnight kiss
it’s an absolutely adorable kiss, followed by a cute eskimo kiss as kazuha chuckles in disbelief
he’s still kind of shocked, but a romantic confession comes out of him as the sky lights up with fireworks
“ever since i met you, i’ve been fond of you. you’re such a talented and attractive person that i couldn’t not fall in love with you. and you’ve found a special place in my heart, and i hope that one day i could find a place in yours. so... would you have me?”
it’s rare to see ayaka at a party
she’s this gentle and sweet girl who barely raises her voice
and it really does surprise you when you see her leading most of the party activities
from karaoke to low-stakes poker games, ayaka is making sure the party doesn’t die down
but when she sees you by the entrance, she gets a little distracted
first of all, ayaka is blushing because omg you’re so hot in that outfit???
and two: you just made eye contact with her??? and you’re making your way over to her???
luckily, by the time you come over, ayaka has fretted over her appearance enough that she now looks more “presentable”
and she kind of abandons surveying the party activities in favour of talking to you
which leads to an almost(?) disaster, as everyone has now turned to group karaoke and the party has never been louder
so you two just take a breather outside, enjoying the night stars together
ayaka gets so caught up in talking with you, that she nearly misses the countdown
but luckily the party goers are loud enough that you two can hear the countdown go off
she looks at you, expectantly, the question on the tip of her tongue
and just as the last few seconds to midnight pass, ayaka manages to choke out her question
and she manages to share a sweet kiss with you, one that leaves her pretty face an even prettier shade of pink
but ayaka snaps out of her love-sick daze and makes sure to ask you out before she can stop herself
“i’ve been meaning to ask you out for a long time now, so i was wondering if you’d like to go out on a date sometime soon? i really think we have something special and i’d love to pursue— you would?! ahhh, thank you! i promise you won’t regret it, and that i’ll— ah, right... one step at a time, heh.”
gorou is pretty quiet at parties
while everyone else is partying and bumping into each other, gorou stays near the sidelines
you’ll probably see him first though, as he’s been on his phone since he got into the party
but the moment you make yourself known to gorou??
he’s stashing away his phone, smiling, his ears perked, the whole shebang
gorou mostly just listens as you talk, nodding aggressively or laughing
he kinda zones out a lot though
but it’s really not his fault, honestly!
you just look so attractive in your outfit, and your lips are so pretty and tempting that he surely he wouldn’t be blamed if he—
luckily, gorou snaps out of it when you call his name in a concerned manner
which, by the by, makes gorou fall for you 10x more
his crush actually cares about him?!? oh goodness
but gorou is snapped out of that realization when the people around you two begin to cheer
he’s confused for a moment, until he makes out the slurred numbers and realizes that midnight is approaching
and gorou looks at you— no, your lips— and silently asks if he can be your midnight kiss
but he’s all the more glad that you lean in with him, touching his lips in sync with the final shouts of the countdown
“you have no idea how long i’ve been wanting to kiss you. wait, you’ve also been wanting to kiss me?! w-well, i kind of wanna kiss you again so— hmm, thank you. hey, d’ya wanna head somewhere more... private? i just want to kiss you without all these people watching, t-that’s all! i swear!”
kokomi rarely goes to parties
it’s not that she doesn’t like them or anything!
she loves talking with her friends and having fun with them
however, her social battery is just... dead
two hours into it, and kokomi is already huddled in the corner, nursing a cup of fruit punch
but the moment she sees you come over, kokomi brightens up a little bit
she appreciates your concern, but she’s alright! really!
and kokomi does try to put on a brave face so she appears more sociable
but the more she talks to you, the more genuine she feels
had you always been this refreshing? this funny? kokomi thinks as she throws her head back in laughter
talking with you feels easy to kokomi, something that isn’t draining at all
had it already been an hour??? kokomi swore you two had just started talking
she’s rubbing her head as she tries to recall how time had just slipped by so easily
but then she glances at you and realizes it instantly
even as you give her a questioning gaze and smile, asking her why she’s looking at you like that
kokomi just shakes her head and dismisses it, all while these feelings burn her from the inside out
but just as she tries to push them away— just for tonight, at least— kokomi hears the party goers all begin the countdown
she gently whispers her inquiry, temptation and eagerness on the very tip of her tongue
and kokomi is so happy that you granted her permission, and she tries to put her all into the kiss
but please give her some time to calm down after such a passionate kiss. poor girl is as pink as a cherry
“oh my goodness, i didn’t think you’d actually— wow. ‘did i like it?’ oh, of course i liked it! i just never knew someone’s lips could be so... soft. er, do you mind if we got out of here? the music is starting to give me a headache again... and it’s really hard to hear the sound of your lovely voice.”
heizou literally only went to the party to see you
and the moment you walk in, he’s abandoned whatever person he was talking to
he saunters over to you, touching up his hair as he does
and just so casually flashes you a smile
throughout the night, heizou is as flirty and touchy as you allow him to be
he reads you and your body language like a book, even verbally checking in with you
does that thing where he leans in really close to hear what you’re saying, a cocky smile on his lips
he stares at your lips more than your eyes, to be honest
but heizou always has a witty remark or tease prepared in case you catch on to him
besides eyeing you up all night, heizou does make for good company
he will indulge in anything you want to talk about, treating each topic with the same amount of thought as one of his cases
loves to ask you weird theoretical questions just to see your confused expression
also, he laughs at almost every joke you say
is he trying hard? no. are you really funny? obviously
each time he laughs, heizou accidentally leans into your side
but you’ll notice that he’s always leaning into you, or simply just facing you
he really can’t take his eyes off you, either
or your lips... especially when the countdown begins
you can’t hear him, but you can see the way his lips move when he asks to kiss you
and to be honest, after the night you had with him, you didn’t expect heizou’s kiss to be so sweet
“ahahah, what’s with that look on your face? awwww, poor thing. did i really fluster you that badly? i mean this when i say that i didn’t expect to have such a great effect on you. but how could i ever make it up to you? oh, i know! how about i take you out to this place nearby? my treat, i promise.”
she’s scowling, quietly, in the corner
but when you enter the room and make eye contact with her?
a slight blush forms on her cheeks as she shyly waves at you
wait, wait, wAIT, WHY ARE YOU COMING OVER HERE NOW?!?!?
very much internally panicking, but doesn’t really show it
sara has no idea on why you came over so quickly, but she’s glad for it
mostly just listens to you and sips on her drink
yes, it may seem like she doesn’t care and she’s bored
however!!! sara suffers from resting bitch face (and also this whole party)
she thinks you’re cute though sooo
sara doesn’t really make any moves to show that she’s really interested in you
but she is trying at least
she inches her feet closer to yours. even tries to smile a little!
but when the countdown approaches? she’s a nervous wreck on the inside
she sees everyone else begin to pair up and get closer together, making you two stick out like a pair of sore thumbs
but when sara turns back to look at you, she’s very surprised to see you shrug and casually ask her for a midnight kiss
obviously, she doesn’t turn down the suggestion!
however, caught up in all her excitement, she kisses you a second earlier than midnight
but that’s alright. sara is more than willing to try again, if you want her to
“... did... did i seriously kiss you before midnight struck? ah, no bother. i can just start the new year off with a kiss from you then. i-if that’s alright with you of course! i don’t mean to be presumptuous at all, but i just felt like you enjoyed the kiss too so i just— hmph! t-thanks.”
i saw that your requests are open, so i was like why not.
can you write Hu Tao, Ayaka,and Kokomi with an s/o who likes to cuddle? i cant seem to come up with a scenario to finish my fiction-
Hi bebi.... is july....sorry for the very late reply. I hope you finish your fic.
Cuddles with Hu Tao, Ayaka and Kokomi.
Fluff, gender neutral reader.

🍮 Hu-baby is unpredictable. She loves cuddles because she's clingy. So she picks you up and gets you to bed at random times. When you're in the kitchen eating, she picks you up, together with your food, because she needs you.
🍮 Everytime you give into cuddles with her, she gives into it more. If she doesn't respond to it, you know there's something wrong, she's sad, or angry.
🍮 She climbs over and often lays on you while she's eating Doritos or something.
🍮 She's weird sometimes so she's gonna grip on your legs with her toes. But I hope you don't mind it.
🍮 She suffocates you like a dog, if you need space you need to tell her because she thinks your space is her space and the other way around.
🍮Big spoon, little spoon, for her is irrelevant. She'll just cuddle the hell out of you in the weirdest positions.
🍮 Using you as a support pillow when sleeping, Hu-tao is always laying with a leg over you. When she gets bored she turns around with your blanket. Argue over the blanket now.
🍮 In the morning you see her walking around in underwear with ghost patterns and socks, and when you wake up she needs to throw herself in bed like a wrestler to welcome your awake. Please dodge it while you can. (Or don't)
🍮 She baby talks to you while cuddling and patting you. You must love it. You're her chimpunk.
🍮 She falls out of bed.
🍮 She's open to everything, she's a crazy girl who can be crazy with you because she feels safe.
🍮 Eating seeds while cuddling with you: the bed, your chest and neck full of seeds...
🍮 Like a samurai, she seems distant at first, and doesn't seem like involving into physical touch that much.
🍮 Is easy to win her heart. Take care of it.
🍮 Once you got into cuddles with her, she's a bear. She won't notice she is holding you "captive" until you tell her and she'll apologize. She is surprisingly very warm. She heats you up with her body during nights.
🍮 Ayaka turns on the other side while sleeping, and she does so while holding you. You're casually traveling like a plushie. How does it feel to have a plushie life?
🍮 Once your in her arms, you're forever in her arms.
🍮After an intense training, Ayaka silently comes to you, sits in your lap and holds your head on her boobs.
🍮 She invites herself on your lap many times, leans on your back, reaches her hands around your neck; give her a big hug.
🍮 If you get that close, you can get under her dress to cuddle her, maybe.
🍮 Her energy is serene and warm. She's one of the calmest person you know. She smells like glittering nights and lavander, and her hair reminds you of the Moon.
🍮 You don't feel it when she comes into bed. She's as subtil as the night, and you only feel the pillows and sheets moving under while she takes you under her protective arms.
🍮 A big spoon most of the time, but secretly, she wants to feel protected and loved. She's the woman of your life. She'll forever protect you and cherish you.
🍮 You wonder what's inside a samurai woman's heart, and she makes you want to unlock all of her secrets.

🍮Kokomi loves cuddles because it helps her concentrate reading.
🍮She tries to seem formal and polite but she's actually a very touchy person, with an adorable desire to cuddle whenever given the chance.
🍮Kokomi is the sweet girl that smells soft and tender, like white pearls and cocolino (kokolino). She's an all day pijama girl who uses body butter after every shower to feel good in her skin.
🍮The first thing you love when cuddling Kokomi is her alluring smells, other than her soft and touchable body. Her long thin hands feel feather like on your body.
🍮When she doesn't notice, Kokomi will accidentally grip and hold you too hard, her hands turning from feather soft to dumbbell hard. She gets a little too excited sometimes and she notices fast and apologizes for it repeatedly.
🍮Her hair is tied in a bun while she's eating bird egg sushis, in her bears pijamas, reading a book entitled "The secrets of war".
🍮 Kokomi is a clean girl in a messy burrow, but you two manage well in her little house. As messy as it is, it's what makes it comfy. The smell of old and fresh books combined, together with Komomi's unique scent and gentle voice. Kokomi definetely prefers to be a little spoon. The strong leader wants to feel the warmth and be vulnerable in someone's arms when she's with you.
🍮Kokomi loves feet massages, after long days of standing up, she'll trust you with her feet, which are tensed, and become softer after your rubs. She wouldn't let anyone touch her feet but you.
🍮She gives you foot massage back. Kokomi is ambitious to give back what she receives and make you feel good too. Her soft and gentle hands feel so good on your feet, and she progressively starts rubbing harder and applying pressure. She's so careful with you.
🍮 Body massage is always involved in cuddling, Kokomi's back is formidable. She moves her hair to the side and reveals her naked back all for you. You massage her pinkish white skin for both of your satisfaction. The texture of her skin is purely relaxing.
🍮 And sleeping with Kokomi is a beautiful dream, your legs always end up intertwined, she rubs your feet with hers out of deep affection or to warm you up on cold nights.
🍮 in the mornings, she applies cream on her face and hands, and comes to you like a mama bird to put cream on your face and hands too.
🍮Kokolina.
🍮Author's note:
Had most fun on Kokomi's part. I love it.
Update on life: All I wanna say is that summer depression is the worst. I am back after losing my account and getting it back, (THANKS TO JOHNNY FROM TUMBLR SUPPORT! I LOVE YOU JOHNNY!) And also I got kidnapped by aliens. If you know you have a request left in my box, don't worry. I'll get to it.
Update on delusional part of life: I am obssesed with Cloud Strife, now I am obssesed with Tokio Hotel. Many things happened. Oh god I love Bill Kaulitz.
Info: OOC? Mentions of other characters, writing sucks, sorry if I get some lore wrong with some characters! Fyi, none of this is cannon besides the occasional lore mentions
Ayaka: In Ayaka's younger life, specifically late childhood to mid teenage years. She had really bad acne and would get insecure with how pretty and flawless Ayato's face is. Meanwhile, she's stuck rubbing whatever ointment she can find all over her face. Luckily, it went away after some time
Ayato: Whenever Ayato has a hard time sleeping or can't focus on his paperwork anymore. He'll sneak out near a cliff and watch the ocean. The calm breeze, along with the soft crashing of waves, makes him remember that he needs to breathe once in a while
Gorou: Obviously, it's known that Gorou is part dog and has been out to war, and most of the time, you get hit during battles or even terribly injured. In Gorou's case, one of his canines broke off while in the middle of a battle. Unfortunately, dogs canines can't grow back unless they're puppies, so now Gorou only has one canine left
Heizou: To pass by the time of being unable to solve a mystery, Heizou has picked up a hobby of wood carvings, specifically making them into cute animals like deer, foxes, birds, or even rabbits. Occasionally, he will make little figures of people that he knows, like Shinobu, Itto, or even Sara
Itto: Since it is canon that Itto paints over his horns to make them look colorful and bright, he doesn't just decorate his horns with paint. He also uses stickers, bows, and anything else he could wear on them! Although, most of the time, when he wears bows, they snap due to the horns being way too sharp or thick. He feels terrible every time that happens
Kazuha: For a moment of Kazuha's life, he had a very bad lisp. Which was awful for him since he is a very poetic man, so every time he stuttered in his wording, his mind would immediately crash, and he would forget everything he was going to say, stuttering like a maniac. The only one that helped him with his lisp was Beidou, who did laugh the first couple of times but apologized and helped him get back his composure
Kirara: If you had to ask Kirara what her least favorite place to visit for work is, it would definitely be Sumeru. The reason being the sand, she always gets sand in between her bean paws and, afterward, has to scrub it out once she leaves
Kokomi: Since I also hc Kokomi with pretty bad eyebags (due to the war, the vision degree, being a leader, ect), she normally uses concealer to hide them/get rid of them. After all, she doesn't want to get bombarded with questions on how she got them or people suggesting she heads to bed. She has way too many responsibilities to deal with!
Raiden: The reason why Raiden loves sweets so much is because she can not stand citrus fruits/flavors. She's okay with spicy foods, savory, and even occasionally salty foods, but citrus? She absolutely hates
Sara: In secret, Sara is actually really good at creating statues and even made the large statue of Raiden placed right in the middle of Inazuma. Of course, she never tells anyone since it's her secret
Sayu: Whenever Sayu is about to fall asleep, she'll try as hard as she can to sleep on the floor. People have no clue why she does, and whenever they ask, she just says that it's better
Shinobu: The reason why Shinobu wears a mask all the time is because she has facial dysmorphia, which means that Shinobu fully thinks that she's ugly. The only people who have seen her face are Itto (who she showed on purpose) and Heizou (who accidentally walked in on her dreading on how she looks)
Thoma: Thoma doesn't like alcohol one bit, not because he's a lightweight, but because he hates the taste of alcohol, but if you tell him to watch over your drink, he'll immediately stand guard
Yae Miko: Since Yae Miko is a kitsune and can turn into a fox. She can also communicate with them, and on multiple occasions, Ei will walk into Miko's shrine just to see a bunch of foxes gathered around her, sprinting off in fear when they see the newcomer (Ei)
Yoimiya: Since Yoimiya owns and puts on a lot of firework shows, she's very strict on being safe when using fireworks. On multiple occasions, she's had to put on little shows to make sure the kids stay safe when watching or setting fireworks off. It's tough, but if it makes sure everyone has a fun time and no one gets injured. She'll keep on doing it

characters: ayaka, diluc, ei, ganyu, kaeya, thoma, zhongli
warnings: thoma’s leaked namecard below the cut :)
note: just,,, ideas about hands and hand-holding. idk man. i’ll probably do a part 2 if this does well. this isn’t beta-read or anything but that’s ok, i’ll die on this hill <3
⋆ kaeya’s hands are definitely colder than most. his hands aren’t freezing, but they’re quite chilly. they lean to the slender side.
⋆ his hands aren’t manicured and perfect, but he takes care of them. his nails are trimmed, he uses lotion regularly, etc. etc.
⋆ kaeya’s a talented swordsman,,, his hands are rough and callused despite the constant care. it’s proof of his experience. his fingers suffer the worst of it due to the gloves he always wears.
⋆ he’s got a few scars - again, mainly on his fingers. they’re not usually visible unless you’re looking for them. he’s confident that the scars add to his charm and he’s right.
⋆ his hands are very expressive; he moves them a lot when he talks. he’s generally doing something with his hands when sitting still, too. it’s rare that you’ll actually see him be completely still.
⋆ you’d think that he loves pda, and you’d be right. sort’ve. kaeya holds your hand when you’re in public, but only if it’s less busy. hand-holding is something he considers intimate, so he reserves it for times when you two are alone, or at least off-duty.
⋆ please invest in gloves that cover your entire hand kaeya
⋆ diluc’s hands are extremely warm - the polar opposite of kaeya’s. they’re a little larger and have prominent veins.
⋆ they’re rough and worn from years of battle. between a pyro vision, delusion, and claymore, his hands have suffered a fair amount of abuse. his gloves help a little, but not enough to leave his hands soft and smooth.
⋆ that said, his hands are oddly comforting. they’re warm and his touch is somehow gentle despite the rough texture. he’s also got a firm grip.
⋆ overall i think his hands are just,,, nice? you wouldn’t hold his hand for the feeling of it, you’d hold it for the sensation. he definitely rubs the back of your hand with his thumb when he’s not thinking about it.
⋆ you know how wearing a pair of wool gloves feels? that.
⋆ ganyu’s hands are delicate. definitely slender, and never too cold or too hot.
⋆ everything about her hands is well-maintained. despite thousands of years of battle, her skin is soft and free of scars, and her hands are pretty much never dirty. she takes great care of her hands.
⋆ ganyu strikes me as the type to polish her nails - likely with a protective polish to keep her nails from breaking during work or battle. nothing too fancy.
⋆ she tends to fidget nervously when she doesn’t have something to do. she’ll often clasp her hands together or tap her fingertips against her thighs. to avoid senseless fidgeting, hold her hand.
⋆ like with diluc, you wouldn’t hold her hand just for the feeling. holding ganyu’s hand is an experience that you should be grateful for. her grip is gentle, almost shy, but you can feel the power under her fingertips. she is a half-adeptus, after all.
⋆ i literally could go on about ganyu for hours
⋆ zhongli’s hands are firm. he has longer fingers, and his hands are overall large. despite this, they’re quite slender.
⋆ seeing as he uses a vessel, his hands are smooth and free from any scar or blemish. no matter how often he trains with his polearm or how severe his injuries are, his hands will always remain clean.
⋆ speaking of clean, he 100% has a very in-depth routine. i’m talking about a 30 minute routine every single night. he also only uses natural products, some of which are impossible to get nowadays.
⋆ holding his hand,,, sigh <3. he never squeezes too tight or holds your hand too loosely. he always removes his glove because he loves the skin-on-skin contact.
⋆ all the sappy things aside, when you hold his hand, you feel the power under his fingertips. he’s a god and the former geo archon, after all. it’s almost like a buzz, like something you can sense but not quite touch. if you hyper-focus on it, it might even tickle.
⋆ he’ll never admit it, but zhongli loves comparing hand sizes <3
⋆ ei and her shogun puppet are drastically different, both in mind and body.
⋆ the shogun is perfect, with slender hands and skin so soft it doesn’t even feel real. her hands are neither cold nor hot. ei, however, has slightly warmer skin, with electricity crackling under her fingertips.
⋆ the shogun is not one for hand-holding. she is a machine built for a single purpose: eternity. that being said, if you do somehow convince her to hold your hand, it’s… underwhelming.
⋆ the shogun holds your hand similar to how she’d hold a cup. or her naginata. there’s no love behind it. she’ll only indulge you as long as her patience lasts, or until she has an excuse to leave.
⋆ ei could not be more different. on the rare occasion she leaves her plane of euthymia or welcomes you in, she loves holding your hand. if it’s been a long time, you might get a little accidental electrical shock.
⋆ in short, ei is a sweetheart. the shogun is not.
⋆ ayaka’s hands are very similar to ganyu’s. slender, delicate, and well-cared for. they tend to be a little chilly, though.
⋆ ayaka tries her best to maintain the appearance expected of a noble lady. she has a nightly and morning routine, and has learned proper etiquette.
⋆ that being said, she is experienced with a blade. if you look very closely at her hands, you’ll notice the calluses from her sword handle. ayaka tries to take care of them, she really does, but it can’t be helped.
⋆ unfortunately, holding her hand isn’t an everyday thing. she has to maintain appearances, and that includes restricting pda. when you do hold hands, she’s a little shy.
⋆ ayaka loves intertwining her fingers with yours. despite her near-constant blush, she loves the little intimate things. if you rub the back of her hand with your thumb, or lightly squeeze her hand when she’s nervous, or kiss the back of her hand, her face is red and she’s using her fan to hide her smile.
⋆ she’s literally just so adorable and lovesick it kills me
⋆ thoma’s hands are warm. he takes his duties as the chief retainer very seriously, so his hands are a little rough from the constant work.
⋆ he has a few small scars, mainly from minor (or even silly) injuries. he maintains his hands, but doesn’t have much time for an extensive routine. wanna melt his heart? rub lotion on his hands for him <3
⋆ holding his hand,,, so lucky <3 thoma loves, loves, loves, holding hands!! due to his position, he can’t engage in pda very often, but when you’re walking down the beach at sunset or strolling through the city when he’s not working, he’s holding your hand the entire time.
⋆ he plays with your fingers all. the. time. he just adores every little thing about you. he’ll swing your arms when you walk and absentmindedly rub the back of your hand with his thumb, and kiss your hand when you depart.
⋆ the thing that kills you, though, is whenever you two are sitting together or cuddling, and he puts his hand on top of yours. just to be close to you. he’s very clingy, if you couldn’t tell.
↪ Warnings: None,,, Except swearing and maybe a bit of violence (Childe) if those count lol
↪ Notes: Ohoho anon as a violinist, person who keeps saying they can't sing but everyone else says they can, and slaps on music the second they wake up, you bet I have some. I have many many MANY more hcs with more Genshin characters but I don't wanna make this too long even though it's pretty long already so I'm just keeping this to five characters for now but feel free to send another ask about this :>
Kazuha
He plays the guitar
But he plays the flute too
A flute is more portable than a guitar lol
The leaf is a substitute when he doesn't have his flute
He usually borrows a guitar if he wants to play it
If he's wandering and the region he's in happens to have something going on with a little bit of music he might stop by
It's nice to know about the local music, maybe he could try and play it a bit or write a haiku about it
He's not really good at singing
But his humming is quite soothing and comforting
Sometimes he'll find himself humming a small tune he heard or made up while traveling
Alhaitham
He doesn't care
Mostly
He won't admit that some of it sounds good
Kaveh annoys him about it sir please go get a dose of music
If he wanted to he could try to play something
He's okay at most instruments though he doesn't find much of a reason to play them
He sucks ass at air instruments
He'd touch a piano for the first time and once he figured out the basics he'd ace easy and medium level songs and never touch one again
Kaveh always annoys him about it because he wants to know how he does it
Alhaitham would brush him off he doesn't care let him read and do his job
But Kaveh will not let go of this until he find how how he does it
He can't sing
Not well anyways
Also don't tell anyone but he sometimes plays the cello
Childe
Mmmmmm music is amazing
Especially if it's good music for thinking about murder /hj
No but really he enjoys any music
He is absolutely a violin player
But be careful when he has the bow in his hand
He might stab you with it
Probably replaced his bow a few times doing that lol
Either you DO NOT let him pick up a bow when he's having even a little bit of murderous thoughts or BACK UP WITH PROTECTION
He might stab someone with the bow, you never know, and if it snaps oh boy the splinters...
Stabby stabby stabby
Someone stop him
He will not break the violin though it's hard to find a really good quality instrument
He's trying guitar
He sounds okay but it still sucks
As a person who has literally every Childe cover in their playlist he can absolutely sing
It's SO GOOD SHFSUHFUIOSDJGFIUWABFVJDFIHDGYESBF
Ayato
He's fucking tone deaf
He can't sing or play shit
This part is only here because I thought it would be funny
How nice it would be to hear Ayaka's playing and singing...
BUT in another version where he ISN'T tone deaf
He still doesn't play any instrument
He really likes Ayaka's playing and singing
If she ever says she is bad he will not let her live with that and try and find a way to make her think she's good
Most of the time it works
He prefers humming over singing, especially when he's working
When he sings it's literally the best fucking thing you have ever heard he sounds so perfect
And he'll deny every compliment saying that it's not that good and others can do better
Sir no you sound like a fucking angel shut up
No one not even himself knows how he can sing that well I guess he was just born like that
Ayaka
Absolute opposite of Ayato (The first part)
She got all the music genes
She loves music
She plays quite a few instruments but her favorites are the Koto, Kokyu, and Shamisen
Ayaka can sing
Mostly
Kind of
It's not the best but at least it's passable
She wishes she could sing and/or play for her brother but she can't :(
Even if he couldn't play an instrument anyways why couldn't he at least have not be tone deaf
Anyways in the other one where Ayato is NOT tone deaf
Sometimes Ayato will listen to Ayaka playing or singing when he has the time
Which isn't often considering the loads of work he has
Sometimes she hears her brother humming/singing and wishes she could be as good
Why did he get the good singing genes :( oh well she can play instruments so it's fair enough
She's asked multiple times if he ever has free time if he wanted to sing something while she played but he always finds some kind of excuse to say no
Ayaka has started suspecting that but hey, he's a busy man

Pronouns for reader: gender neutral/ not mentioned
A/n: hello! I know this idea has been done many times but I wanted to write it myself cause… why not! So! Hope you enjoy, and have a nice day/afternoon/night :>
— gorou —
Knew something was off with you a little bit before you got sick. Probably very worrisome, and careful around you. Carful as in he cuddles you, but then walks a little ways away from you to not get sick. Will get you anything you need though, you need some medicine? “Here… I even got you some water, and I’m making some soup.”
— thoma —
Makes you food! Good that’ll make you feel better! Runs and gets you medics whenever you need it! I also think thoma is the type to carry you around the house, even though you just have a cold. Sneeze on him. He literally doesn’t care. He’s gonna be around you even if he does get sick! But don’t worry about him he’s got a pretty tough immune system! (News flash, he gets sick.)
— Ayaka —
Gets you medicine the first second she realizes you’re sick. She’ll have some soup made for you, and won’t leave your side. Like thoma, she doesn’t really care if she gets sick, she just wants you to be comfortable. (Unlike thoma, she doenst get sick.)
— Albedo —
“Interesting… do you mind if I observe you, and how your body reacts to… whatever you have.” “Albedo I have the flu” he knows what to do, he knows to give you water and food that’s easy ok your stomach. He can’t stay with you very much, because… work, but he’ll be with you in his free time! Probably reads you books, and draws beside you as you sleep.
— zhongli —
“Here, I’ll make some tea for you. It should only take… 7-8 hours.” Seriously though, he’ll make some tea for you, give you a little Medicine, and then cuddle. Tells you to sleep, and if you just can’t fall asleep for the life of you, he’ll hum a song for you, or tell you one of his many stories.
