alhaitham / zhongli / ayato / wriothesley
♡ isn't the type to leave a jar up high on purpose or screw it too tight (alhaitham definitely does leave it up high tho, just saying)
♡ but they wont not indulge in seeing you struggle a little after being so bratty to them
♡ A sick part of them wants to see it through to the end, but they are men of good moral, so they close their eyes and huff before walking over to you.
♡ pulls the old, "startled them from behind and press onto their back as you reach for the jar and cage them into the bench" move.
♡ deep eye contact before handing the jar to you
♡ You're still pinned to the counter btw, he's not letting you squirm away.
♡ enjoys, no, relishes in the way you fluster.
♡ will watch you try to open the jar with a certain light in his eyes- obviously you cant, because its tight and he's clearly left you weak and limp after that move
♡ smiles at the sight and takes the jar without a word, opening it.
♡ hands it to you and takes a step back and you can finally breath!
♡ Whispers something teasing before walking away silently.
"what would you ever do without me, hm?"
baizhu
♡ Doesn't engage in petty behaviour like that. He's too sweet, please don't ever think that.
♡ In fact, Baizhu has already made sure every single jar you need is at eye level for you, since he doesn't want you straining your arms to reach for anything!
♡ This man cares for you deeply.
♡ If he ever does try something like that (this wont ever happen but let's be hypothetical) Changsheng will already have slithered into the cupboard and tried her best to loosen it.
♡ if you're wondering why the jar is covered in snake slime, now you know.
diluc / varka
♡ might place the jar too high for you to reach but immediately regrets it when he sees you climbing a counter top to reach it.
♡ cue protective husband energy, and firm palms on your waist to plop you back down safely onto your feet.
♡ will open the jar before handing it to you (whether or not he's screwed it too tight)
♡ wont say a word and just leaves.
♡ will return in 5 minutes to help you cook because he still feels guilty.
♡ when you're out of the kitchen he'll check that every jar is at a reachable level for you, and will loosen the lids.
♡ will start to get unusually chatty and by then you're already too awed by him to even care abt the argument.
childe / kaeya
♡ loves watching you jump up and down to reach the jar.
♡ when you start climbing onto the shelf, he might as well grab a bucket of popcorn - he is genuinely so impressed !
♡ when you try your very best at opening the jar (and fail) he starts to feel a little bad, ok, very bad.
♡ strong clearing of his throat that you jolt at the sound.
♡ you getting embarrassed gives him even more pleasure
"need me to handle that, sweetheart?"
♡ and he will ask you to respond, loud and clear
♡ probably tells you to repeat yourself like 10x to feed his ego
"What was that? I couldn't hear you properly"
♡ oh he's cheesing all day longggg
♡ kissing you on the cheek afterwards and leaves you alone (for the time being. he'll be back to annoy you in another hour, trust).
kaveh / itto
♡ Definitely tightens and places the jar up high out of sheer pettiness right after the argument, without even thinking.
♡ totally forgets about it till you're cooking and he mentally already calculates that you need that specific jar.
♡ STRESSED™️
♡ tries to make up an excuse for you to go get something in another room, even when you're both literally meant to be doing the silent treatment.
♡ mental face palm for breaking it first.
♡ you're confused but you leave bc he's acting weird and you don't even wanna question him abt it (lol)
♡ makes a break for it and grabs jar, unscrews and leaves it on the counter like nothing ever happened.
♡ Will blurt out an apology randomly throughout the week (you have no idea what he's apologising about and he wont elaborate)
flins
♡ probably has enchanted every single jar to tighten on command.
♡ Will manually place them high up because he loveeees when you cant reach for things and call out for his help - this is a normal occurrence btw, even when you're not fighting.
♡ So when you are fighting, he finds it amusing when you stand there staring at the jar, silent.
♡ you both know your normal response would be to whine and call our for Flins. But you werent talking to him, so you needed to deal with it yourself.
♡ Usually he'd come up behind you, all smug but you snap at him, "I dont need your help"
♡ cue the smirk and dramatic gasp,
"You wound me" "Go ahead, darling. Let me know if you need any help"
♡ will take any opportunity to tease you and he knows exactly how to push your buttons.
♡ tries to hold back giggles when you're jumping for it. In the end, he'll just place his palms on your thighs and lift you up so you can have the glory of grabbing it with your own hands.
♡ probably has you on the counter, his palms planted firmly on your waist, and your legs either beside his waist by the end of the whole dilemma.
♡ I mean. Its flins, cmon. This is light work for him.
♡ he enjoys seeing you mad and stubborn, but he enjoys seeing you give into him, even more.
♡ Let's you scold him (he enjoys it) but he knows how to keep you quiet in the end (in the best way possible)
neuvilette / ororon / ifa / thoma
♡ The sweetest boys omg
♡ he will never get into an argument with you let's be real, and if he does, it'll always be resolved before any pettiness ensues
♡ The only instance is if there actually has been a misplaced jar that is brand new, unopened (thus, he has NOT done anything to this jar - its purely coincidental)
♡ He would probably walk up and reach for it as if it were a normal day.
"careful, love"
♡ talks to you as if all is well, and it truly is in his eyes.
♡ kisses you on the temple and helps you with your cooking
