hello hello! it’s me, the anon that sent the inventor! reader x tighnari/cyno idea. cuz i’ve got another idea for a fluffy imagine/scenario. i’ve also sent the inventor! reader idea to worriedvision as a request, and the imagine is really cute and heartwarming. do check it out! alright so:
the reader makes their own songs as a way of expressing feelings. i like to think that the confesses their love through a song for nilou or tighnari. the song that i have in mind is springtime by wheein. it's cuz the lyrics are so cute and perfect for a confession song. her vocals are just the cherry on top! i just love her a lot bUT ANYWAYS. i wrote some scenarios of possible confessions that the reader might do.
--
the scenario i had for nilou is that the reader performs the song onstage at zubayr theater. the reader works mainly back-stage. mostly for prop making, music for nilou's dances, and helping mr. zubayr with duties for the theater. as they work for the theater, they slowly grow a relationship with nilou. the reader confesses that, one day they want to perform on-stage to sing a song for the crowd but has horrible stage fright and always backs out. nilou encourages the reader to perform either with her or maybe one day they'll perform together on stage.
ok so, as nilou is getting ready backstage for her next performance, she then hears mr. zubayr announcing the reader's performance on-stage. nilou isn't aware of the sudden performance. besides this wasn't in this week's schedule. ofc, with nilou's curious mind, she peeps out to the stage and witnesses the reader's performance for herself. the reader isn't facing the crowd -- instead they turn their back to the crowd and see nilou. the reader apologizes to the crowd, as it may seem rude to not face them while performing. telling the crowd that they do love performing! it's just that the reader is overcoming their stage fright step-by-step. seeing nilou, the reader's confidence boosts as this song was for her. with instrument in hand they start performing. hearing the reader's voice, the crowd is awed at their vocals and performance. nilou was also enjoying the performance.
as nilou was watching, mr. zubayr gave nilou a letter from the reader. stating: "nilou, i love you from the bottom of my heart. i wrote this song for you since the first day we met. i hope you also return the feelings for me. if not, then i hope we can still remain as amazing friends." nilou is shocked, also feeling the same towards towards them. after the performance, the reader heads backstage then suddenly gets hugged by nilou.
"i assume you've read the letter i wrote for you?" "yes! and i would also like to return the feelings you've experienced for me." "so, are we official now? or--"
the reader was cut off by nilou kissing them lovingly. the other staff members gushes at the scene and reminisces this moment. the new couple is now just enjoying eachother's company. while mr.zubayr is telling off nilou that her performance is due and that the crowd is waiting. "just a few more minutes. i just want to cherish this moment forever."

ok now for tighnari, the reader in this one is a well-known musician in ghandarva ville. performing weekly to boost the morale for the forest rangers and also for the other folks in ghandarva ville. in this one, tighnari helps out the reader with writing lyrics for performances. in reality -- the reader doesn't need that much help -- instead they just want to spend quality time with the botanist. for this session of lyric writing, the reader invites tighnari to a secluded place in avidya forest. "i once witnessed this place while looking for inspiration for my songs. i'd love for you and me to go there together and write lyrics."
once they've arrived, tighnari adores the view. they were at a cliffside with the view of the whole of sumeru. you can see the lush greenery of avidya forest. then distant city of wisdom and port ormos. then the far more distant mausoleum of king deshret from the dessert. as they enjoy the view and as the sun slowly sets and the night sky starting to fade in. the reader confesses to tighnari, "in actuality, i'm not here to write lyrics, but to confess my feelings for you. i wrote this one for you. expressing my feelings in the way that i'm best at -- through my voice and my instrument." as the reader performs, the botanist relaxes and enjoys the song. butterflies fluttering within him.
once the song was finished, tighnari immediately embraced the reader in a kiss. "you lummox, i've been dropping hints ever since we started writing lyrics together. a shame that you didn't recognized" "oh, looking back, i really didn't notice the subtle hints. my bad" under the night sky, the both of them enjoyed eachother's company in comfortable silence.

sorry if the chars are kind ooc. these scenarios live in my head rent-free, but i'm not complaining. i just feel like you're the right person to share these kinds of things! enjoy the scenarios!! oh and i'd love for you to have your own take own this. if possible, ofc!!
sincerely, fluffy anon idea giver or smth idrk
(related post) I did, I saw it! I even reblogged it cuz it's so cute and good haha
This has also been terribly cute, especially my two underrated cuties <3 You said for me to have my own take on this but you already wrote a whole damn fic for these two, there's nothing else I could add!
I could however picture them at some point humming or even absentmindedly singing the song one time, and when others ask them about it, they'll just say it's a special song they've heard. If it was you who happens to hear what the song was, they'll smile at your fluster and sing it more clearly, as if they're the one serenading you like a tease
