I would love to see a comic about her getting better because of that support circle you mentioned back in that Furina angst comic
I’ll definitely do it!(≧▽≦)
I don’t have time right now(╥﹏╥) but as soon as I can, I plan to create some short stories about the moments when various characters helped or supported Furina during that period(whether they are characters she interacted with in canon or not)
I wanted to ask,if you have any suggestions for interactions or ways this support network could function , fell free to share your ideas in the comments!♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
I always think it’s great to share ideas, and it can also help me create content that you’ll enjoy.!(≧▽≦)
ahem dear chil i wonder if you were waiting for me but um nvm ANYWAY

Sorry for late reply. But I finally finished this at 12am! Yay!
As always, I apologise if this isn’t great and if Kinich is OOC.

Kinich x gn reader

Cw: None. Just cringe.
Not beta read. Some spelling or grammar errors might be seen
Kinich was a man who didn’t back away from dangerous situations. He hunted beasts of all kinds, escorted caravans through monster-infested territory, and had even negotiated with particularly grumpy Saurians.
But none of those wild experiences could have prepared him for the words that came out of your mouth.
“Can you be my boyfriend?”
Silence was immediate. Even the birds stopped chirping overhead as though they could sense the awkwardness. Kinich stared at you in shock, eyes wide and body stiff.
And then Ajaw appeared beside him and burst into a fit of laughter that echoed through the air.
“HAHAHA! Who knew today was going to be this entertaining!”
Kinich snapped out of his shock and groaned, swatting away Ajaw as the floating entity drifted nearer. Ajaw let out a growl of annoyance, but Kinich paid him no mind, his attention entirely focused on you.
“May I ask why the sudden...request?”
He gave you a quick once-over, calculating whether you were playing some kind of joke on him. But you seemed completely serious.
“Well, you see...uh, I might've accidentally told my family that I was dating someone.”
“Are you?”
“No. Which is why I need you to fake it. Just until they leave in a few days! Please, Kinich!”
You clapped your hands together, eyes squeezed shut as you silently begged for him to agree. You hadn't meant to rope him into this, but when your parents wouldn't stop hounding you about being single, you'd simply snapped and blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
.
.
.
“Oh, honey, when are you going to settle down and build a family?” Your mother pressed as she walked past carrying a box of belongings that she and your dad were bringing on their trip.
It had always been your father's dream to travel across all of Teyvat, but responsibilities and work had always kept him from doing so. Now that he was retiring, your parents had decided it was finally time to begin that long-awaited journey.
“Guys...” You groaned, covering your face to hide your exasperated expression.
“I’m just saying, we worry you’ll be alone.” Your mother sighed, resting a hand against her chest while your father hummed in agreement from the other side of the room.
“Maybe we should set up a date for you. One of my buddies has a son around your age.” Your father suggested, immediately causing you to stiffen.
“I have a boyfriend!”
“You do? Since when?” Your mother gasped, startled by the sudden revelation.
“Um... for about a few months? It's pretty recent.” You awkwardly smiled, scratching your cheek nervously.
“That so? You must introduce us to him soon.” Your father said, sounding both curious and protective.
.
.
.
And thus, here you were, running to the first person you thought of.
Your friend Kinich, whom you'd gotten to know over the past few months after helping the Traveler save Natlan.
“How long exactly will I have to fake being your boyfriend?” Kinich tilted his head, crossing his arms comfortably.
That caught you completely off guard.
“...What?”
You stared at him as he returned the look with his usual blank expression.
“How long am I pretending to be your boyfriend?”
You blinked.
“...So you'll actually do it?”
He hummed softly, nodding once.
“It'll be a favour.”
You raised an eyebrow.
“That's... it?”
“Should there be another reason?”
Ajaw groaned dramatically from behind him before turning away.
“He's hopeless. You're both hopeless.”
You both ignored him, instead staring at the dark-haired Dendro user for a long moment.
“...You agreed way too fast.”
Kinich blinked once.
“I did?”
“Yes!” You pointed accusingly at him. “Most people would ask questions first! Or refuse! Or at least look embarrassed!”
“I asked a question.”
“You asked how long!”
“It seemed like the most important one.”
“...No, it wasn't!”
“It determines how much planning is required.”
You opened your mouth to argue before immediately closing it again.
...He had a point.
Ajaw floated upside down between the two of you, cackling loudly enough to scare another flock of birds into the sky.
“Oh, this is priceless! Kinich has absolutely no idea what pretending to date someone actually means.”
Kinich frowned, glancing over at his loud companion.
“I have a general understanding.”
“You absolutely do not.”
“I do.”
“You don't.”
“I do.”
“You think being a boyfriend is another hunting commission!”
“...Is it not similar?”
You couldn't help it.
A laugh escaped before you could stop it, though you quickly disguised it as a cough when Kinich looked your way.
“So... I am expected to accompany you, be polite to your parents, and convince them we are in a relationship.”
“...Yes.”
“And after they leave, the arrangement ends.”
“...Also yes.”
He nodded once.
“Simple.”
“Simple?!” Ajaw wheezed. “Do you even know what couples do?” He mocked with a smug grin.
Kinich looked at him blankly.
“...Exist?”
Ajaw nearly fell out of the air laughing.
“You are doomed!”
You silently agreed, pinching the bridge of your nose.
“Actually...”
Both of them looked at you.
“There are a few things we should probably go over.”
Kinich waited patiently.
“You know...”
“...No.”
“You'll have to act affectionate.”
“...Define affectionate.”
Your face immediately warmed as your gaze wandered while you fiddled with your fingers. “Well...” You utter as the warmness in your cheeks risen.
Ajaw leaned forward with the biggest grin imaginable.
“Oh, this'll be good.”
“You know!” You sputtered. “Standing close together... smiling... maybe holding hands...”
Kinich nodded after each example as though you were explaining proper camping etiquette.
“Reasonable.”
“And...” You hesitated.
“And?”
“...Maybe calling each other pet names?” You blushed at your own words while Kinich simply hummed thoughtfully.
“...Pet names.”
“Like 'dear' or 'love' or something.”
“I see.”
You gave him an uncertain look.
“Do you, though? You can't just call me by my full name the entire time.”
He looked a little taken aback, appearing to genuinely think it over.
“But I usually call you by your name.”
“I know!”
With a quiet sigh, he placed a hand over his chest.
“...Then I will adjust.”
He said it with such complete seriousness that you nearly laughed again.
“...You're taking this surprisingly well.”
Kinich shrugged.
“You helped me before.”
“With the whole saving Natlan thing?” You asked, but he gave a small smile and shook his head. “I was referring to when you distracted that particularly angry Yumkasaur while I recovered my weapon.” He informed, recalling that particular moment.
That day had been complete chaos.
“...I screamed and ran in circles.”
“It was effective.”
“...That wasn't on purpose.”
“I know.”
Ajaw let out a dramatic groan as he spun through the air.
“I can't believe that's why he's saying yes!”
Kinich looked genuinely confused. “Should there be another reason?” He quirked a brow at his floating dragon companion.
Ajaw grabbed his own head in despair in response.
“Maybe because you—”
Before he could finish, Kinich calmly reached up, caught the floating menace by the face, and shoved him away.
“Quiet.”
“Mmph!”
Ajaw's protests were muffled as he flailed dramatically.
You couldn't stop smiling.
Maybe this ridiculous plan wasn't completely doomed after all.
“...One last thing.”
Kinich released Ajaw, who immediately floated back over while grumbling under his breath.
“What is it?”
“My parents...”
“Yes?”
“They're... very affectionate.”
“...I see.”
“They hug.”
Kinich nodded.
“They ask embarrassing questions.”
Another nod.
“My mother will absolutely cry.”
“...Understood.”
“My father will probably challenge you to lift boxes just to 'see if you're reliable.'”
“...Acceptable.”
“And...”
You looked anywhere but at him.
“They'll probably ask us to sit together.”
“...We are already standing together.” Kinich assures, but you shake your head at him. “Closer.” You tried to clarify but Kinich just looked at the distance between you and him, calculating.
“...How much closer?”
You took a hesitant step forward until there was barely enough room for another person between you.
“About... this close.”
Kinich looked down at the distance once again that was separating the two of you before taking one perfectly measured step closer.
Your brain promptly stopped working.
“There.” He spoke matter-of-factly. “Is this convincing?” His eyes remained locked on yours when asking, and you could almost hear your own heartbeat pounding in your ears.
It was a miracle your heart hadn't launched itself into the stratosphere.
“...Y-You're too convincing.” You chuckled, trying not to faint.
I fell for Pantalone the moment he appeared in the funeral trailer,mostly because he reminded me of Sebastian from Black Butler (he shares the same voice actor, too!).
I was really intrigued by the potential dynamic between the two of them, especially since they looked so good together visually( ꈍᴗꈍ). Ultimately, though, it stayed in the background for a while because we didn't have much information to work with back then. But the new Archon Quests??? Oh man, it was like a five-star buffet!!Every new piece of info, every implication, every interaction ,everything!!plus, the fan content,like fan art and fics, are so full of symbolism, cruelty, melancholy, and explores their dynamic in such a fascinating way that I just kept falling more and more in love with this ship!
There’s something deeply compelling about seeing two complex characters like them find understanding in each other without asking the other to soften or change who they are; instead, they support each other's plans in a world that has practically shut them out.
(plus, a villainous couple is always great to watch( ꈍᴗꈍ))
The next comic coming out will feature this ship, so I think your question came at the perfect time (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
