𐐪𐑂 a/n: i hope this is in character enough! i honestly spent hours on their voicelines to get a better perspective on their individual personalities,,
𐐪𐑂 includes: diluc, kaeya, childe, zhongli
𐐪𐑂 genre(s): fluff, a bit of crack for kaeya (sort of) and CHILDE
warmly, like a comfort blanket
his arms will wrap around your waist/torso and he’ll hold you somewhat like his personal teddy bear but he won’t admit that
doesn’t like pda, so he only does this in the privacy of his manor
and even then, away from the maids
subtly cuddling you is his go-to way to show his love, since he personally finds it embarrassing to express his love out loud he can never find the right words, either. you mean more to him than just words
he finds it especially comforting to be able to return home and sit in silence with you wrapped in his arms
but also softly asks you questions about your day or how you’re feeling sometimes, just to hear your voice
he calls your name in one of the gentlest tones you’ve ever heard— it’s reserved specifically for you as well
“how was your day today? i’d like to hear about it, if you don’t mind.”
he’ll listen— not saying much, of course— but he will talk a bit if you ask, just for you <3
close, like you’ll disappear if he lets go
and when i say ‘loves’ i mean LOVES
he’ll snake his arm around your shoulders, lets his hand hang in front of your chest, and pulls you closer every so often
he does this even when the two of you are casually walking around, he just can’t keep his hands off you
also adores it when you hold his hand hanging off your shoulder
he smirks at anyone who looks at the two of you, even if they just glanced over
his ego is getting such a huge boost right now
“darling, look at all those jealous people,” he murmurs smugly, “they wish they were me right now.”
“kaeya, i think they’re just saying hello.”
that’s the fifth time he’s said that, and you’ve been walking around for twenty minutes,,
eagerly, like you haven’t seen each other in decades
he’s obsessed with coming up from behind and wrapping his arms around you in a big bear hug
if he’s in a mischievous mood, he’ll tickle your sides relentlessly (your frenzied pleas of “stop, stop!!” between laughs and giggles be damned!!)
one time you accidentally smacked him in the face so hard HE DROPPED YOU AND STARTED POUTING
it’s okay tho— you gave him lots of apology kisses after (he loves those)
if you return his hugs, his face tinges just the slightest shade of pink but he acts really cocky about it, as he does
“ooh, someone’s clingy, huh?” he teases as if he wasn’t the one who initiated the hug
but of course he can’t help but be soft for you afterwards
gently, like you’re the last thing in the world
his favourite way to hold you isn’t elaborate or very interesting, but then again he’s never been the type to make a show out of things
instead, he opts for caressing your face during intimate moments
he cradles your face with the palm of his hand and admires each and every part of it, like he’s holding the world’s rarest antique in his hand
he likes to slowly swipe his thumb across your cheek, and smiles gently while doing so
his eyes are so full of love the entire time
“my love— and i know i say this every time— but to me, you shine brighter than any gold. i mean it.”
gosh zhongli what are you doing to my heart ////
