Summary: HSR characters react to you asking them for a hug! (ft: Jing Yuan, Aventurine, Boothill, Himeko & Aglaea)
GN!Reader, assumed romantic relationship
JING YUAN
• At first, he sort of chuckles at the request. He finds it a bit silly that you had to ask, though if you get upset at him or embarrassed that he laughed at you, he'll reassure you that he just finds it cute, and that's all.
• He'll lean back on his chair and open his arms for you with a closed-mouth smile, head tilted as he raises his eyebrows in a "well?" gesture.
"Come now, don't keep me waiting."
• Jing Yuan is quite cuddly, and he's comfortable, too. Something about him and the way he holds you is just so warm and soft.
• That being said, he prefers to be the one holding you. It doesn't matter how tall you are. He likes to hold you to his chest, smooth his hand up and down your back and be able to press gentle kisses on top of your head. Though he isn't opposed to being the little spoon from time to time, it just isn't his first choice.
• Also, you've all heard his voice. Specifically the English dub. Now imagine it ever softer, lower as he speaks to you whenever he has you in his arms.
• If you're asking him for a hug because you need comfort, he's very good at that as well. He isn't too forthcoming with his own feelings, but he'll encourage you to be with yours.
AVENTURINE
• Another one who'll chuckle a bit at first, but it's more of a growing smile on his face and a single little laugh before he invites you closer, telling you of course you can have one, and he's oh-so-flattered you asked him.
• I actually don't see Aventurine as a particularly physically affectionate person. He doesn't dislike being touched, especially not by you, but he just usually won't be the one to initiate anything. He shows his love primarily through gift-giving, teasing and actually letting his walls down and being genuine around you. Which will still shine through even as he hugs you.
• He'll assume you're asking because you want comfort, and the way he goes about that is to gently remind you that he loves you and to try and take your mind off of it. It's a cute, but kind of funny mix between genuine (slightly awkward) words of affirmation and completely unrelated conversation topics and he flip-flops between the two.
• Aventurine isn't the best with feelings, so he lets you decide if you want to talk about it, but he won't bring it up himself.
• His hugs are pretty loose. He doesn't much like to feel "squeezed" in tight embraces, so he won't do it to you either unless you ask him to hold you tighter. He also kind of sways as he holds you, and spends most of his time fiddling with your hair.
• In an attempt to cheer you up, he may also suddenly promise you a gift of some sort to surprise you with. A new phone, accessories, a complete closet overhaul, or even a vacation somewhere, it depends.
BOOTHILL
"Y'sure?"
• He'll do it, but he jokingly calls you weird for it.
• Admittedly, he's not a very good hugger, through no fault of his own. His body is metal. There's not much he can do to make this a more comfortable experience for you.
• This also means he doesn't get much enjoyment out of hugging either; he can't feel it. Still, that's not to say he doesn't like holding you, if just for the experience of being close to you. And if hugging you really does comfort you despite his cyborg body, then he's happy to do you a service.
• Despite it not being very comfortable, his hold on you is surprisingly nice. He'll keep one hand on your head and the other on your back, his chin rested against the top of your head. You can definitely tell that he used to be a father by the way he hugs you, if that makes sense. It feels very protective.
• He'll ask if there's anything you want to talk to him about, and if there is, he's a perfect mix of comforting and funny. You can tell he takes your feelings seriously even if he cracks jokes throughout. He just wants to make you feel better, and he'll celebrate a bit if he makes you smile or laugh.
• I think that if his partner is a very affectionate person, he'll come up with some kind of workaround so they don't end up in pain from having to hug metal all the time. He'll put blankets over himself first so you can make yourself a bit more comfortable, and things like that.
• By the way, pray it isn't hot out today or you're in for a painful experience when he touches you.
HIMEKO
• She and Jing Yuan are probably the best huggers on this list.
• Upon hearing your request, she'll drop whatever she's doing and beckon you over, taking you in her arms in a hug sent from heaven itself. Also because I know you were thinking it, yes, you can put your face in her boobs. She doesn't mind. It's okay trust me.
• She very sympathetically asks you if anything is wrong and reminds you that she's always here to talk to.
• Predictably, Himeko is a good person to go to when you need to be comforted. She's soft-spoken and a naturally comforting presence without even really trying to be, so even if you just want your mind to be taken off of something, just listening to her talk about anything at all is enough to relax the mind.
• This is likely to make you sleepy though, so if you fall asleep on her, she'll move you to your bed. She feels like it'd be an intrusion to sleep with you, but if you tell her you'd like her to stay, she'll start doing that instead.
• When I say she's an incredible hugger, there's only one real downside, and it's that she runs warm. Very warm. Like, hot. This is very nice when it's cold out - and not so great when warmer weather rolls around.
• Also her coffee is more likely to cause another breakdown than it is to cheer you up.
AGLAEA
• Aglaea is, in my opinion, surprisingly touchy in a relationship.
• I'm still unclear on if she's supposed to be blind in canon, but going with the idea that she is for a moment: Although she can sense everything around her with the golden threads, she likes to be able to "see" her partner in more detail. As in, through touching them.
• So, when you ask her for a hug, of course she will allow it. If she's busy at the moment, she'll gently ask you to wait until later.
• Honestly, it feels less like a hug and more like you're laying against her while her hands wander wherever they can reach, but it's quite comforting nonetheless. Maybe a bit ticklish.
• She'll talk to you throughout, ask if there was a reason you wanted this. Even as you speak, you'll feel her fingers glide over your skin, mapping out every feature that she's already "seen" on you a hundred times before. And she'll remind you, as she always does, that you are beautiful.
• She doesn't want to interrupt the moment, so if you two need to get more comfortable or if either of you desire a drink, she'll have her Garmentmakers do it. I like the idea of the mannequins delicately wrapping the two of you in a blanket, so neither you nor she have to lift a finger.
imagine if you got transmigrated into the star rail world, with all your memories intact. you realize that now that you're here, you will not let anyone suffer anymore deaths in all the worlds yet unexplored and with all the information you have now.
"Next stop, Jarilo VI !"
pompom announced as you seated yourself. march, dan heng and stelle, the new member rescued from herta space station with your very thorough help is now travelling with you all.
you understood that they were kind of... wary of you considering how you knew what will happen the next moment. its just that you remembered each and every moment by your heart since honkai: star rail had been your favourite game.
threat of stellaron handled easily with your precise guidance. your team never met any threat along the way. rivet town anomalies all cleared out. and you made sure that cocolia lives !
"I can't thank you enough for the help the nameless provided to belobog...i was sure my mother would..."
march chirped in "oh come on! its because of [name] right here that we were able to realise what cocolia was up to!"
you heave a sigh of relief after returning to the express car, your mind going a thousand miles about xianzhou because there is phantiliya! a lord ravager. its one thing fighting her with your characters and another physically...
and you stood corrected. your body all beat up as you fought phantiliya as if your life was on the line, making sure she had a wound that would last her centuries.
with rage seeping through your eyes as you clutched your weapon while kneeling on the ground "Our fight is not over lord ravager of hunt! i will find you again!"
as your days in xianzhou went by, the story as you remembered progressed, meeting the zhuming, fei xiao didn't lose her sanity, hoolay defeated and jiao qiu had his eyes. and the best part is that tingyun lived, just that her body went into a state of deep slumber. and dan heng embraced his vidyadhara status after his...'meeting' with old friends...you couldn't and wouldn't have been able to help with that no matter what.
the whole of xianzhou was eternally grateful. jing yuan and fei xiao agreed to provide you assistance no matter when and where. he nameless became a legend and your feats were heard all across the cosmos. 'the fortune teller' and the 'the seer' is what they would hail you as.
during the dinner meeting with the express after your returned...
"you know all our trailblazing expeditions have been even more fruitful with the least loss of companions. before you, we would have many unfortunate incidents" himeko propped her chin on her hand "we couldn't be more grateful for you exceptional abilities [name]"
welt fixed his glasses and crossed his arms "you have relieved a lot of stress for us. we know that in all future expeditions it would continue like so" he gave you a gentle smile
"there's nothing to be worried about when we have our 'lucky charm' with us! hehe" march swung an arm around you beaming brightly
you on the other hand grew more worried with each passing trailblaze, growing unsure of the fact that you will be able to live up to their expectations. it was just by narrow luck that you managed to not have anyone die at your last stop.
"the Family from penacony sent us a letter to attend their charmony festival... you all will be willing to go right?" like fate had ordained, or more specifically the devs had ordained, you all went into penacony.
fast forward, sunday left penacony to become a nameless, after saying a proper farewell to robin. no one got to know about his idealistic 'all day should be sunday' endeavor because of you.
"[name] i'm forever...no the whole oak family and me are grateful for you ensuring that me and brother could meet one last time before he leaves to find what he wants the most. thank you"
in the express car, you were slumped on your cushiony bed, contemplating Amphoreus...an extrapolation similar to a knock off simulated universe which was the cradle of iron-tomb. and also the place where one or basically most of your favourite characters live...
Phainon...
This time, you will not see your friends waste away...
you make a silent promise to whoever is watching over you, be it fuli or nanook, hell it can even be aha for all you care.
"so for our next stop we have a few options like Lushaka, Ampho-"
"...Amphoreus...lets go there"
The whole crew, even pompom was bewildered. you've never suggested places before. Himeko stuttered before replying "We can do that but...any reason as to why?" you hesitate before remembering black swans reason for sending you all, the one she told the crew before speaking privately with the trailblazer. "the express doesn't have enough fuel to stay in one place for too long and Amphoreus is a place where even Akivili had not trailblazed so it can be a new start into the history of the nameless...!" wow your memory came in clutch!
good thing you remembered about the spear falling from the sky so you were able to save both dan heng and stelle before they suffered any serious injuries. however, unfortunately march was unconscious and frozen even here.
you three trek your way into...Januspolis, the first ever place where the setting started. and like it was before, furiae praetors swarm your group, and then comes a flash of gold streaked ocean blue eyes and hair like that of snow, smirking at you as he passed by you in a flash, taking stelle's bat from her and swinging it with a dramatic pose.
ah...there he is...
"Khaslana..."
you let your voice carry into the depths of the abyss...
something that came to me twice when I was taking number 2 and in my dreams. lmk if you guys want a part 2! in that one I'll make sure to include beating lygus's ahh up—
Beauty marks were said to be the remnants of where your past lover kissed you the most. It was a lovely idea, that someone had loved you so reverently in the past that it managed to leave an imprint as dots that littered your skin. And how lucky were you? To have someone in this lifetime love you just as, if not more devotedly. Lips connecting imaginary lines as they silently vowed to kiss each and every mark that was scattered across you.
You're not sure what you did to deserve this all consuming love, but you were sure to give it back, after all, you wanted to make sure new marks dotted their skin in their next life.
Saw a gif of pov with Cantarella bouncing on your lap and her boobs jiggling in your face and it gave me..... needs
So here's a super short drabble applicable to any woman you want (I have written down some of my choices), can imagine Y/n with either a strap or cock both work
Her voice came in short, breathy gasps, her arms wrapped around your neck, fingers gripping your hair and her head thrown back as she undulated on your lap. Her hips sought yours, moving with fervor, sounds of skin slapping against skin resounding in the room. Your own hands gripped her hips, squeezing her plump ass and thighs as you helped her move.
Your face was buried in her ample chest, snuggled between her plentiful breasts as she took her pleasure from you, her scent filling your senses, the soft fleshy mounds bouncing with her movements. You urged to touch them, to kiss and suck, but she held you too close and too tight, lost in her own revelry as she approached her release. Not that you were complaining, this sensation itself was exquisite beyond words, after all.....
806 wc, gn!reader, all of them are having a mental breakdown
i saw some awesome sahsrau (self-aware hsr au) from @aventurineswife and they seemed a bit tired of making it...so i thought i'd give it a shot :p maybe ooc on some parts, sorry
the astral express who, while visiting a planet, begin to sense something amiss. it feels as if something, someone, has eyes on them occasionally.
while you're just logging in to play the game and pulling for new characters, everyone starts to freak out. what is watching over them? it can't be the aeons, something much more divine. hell, maybe even the aeons sense something is different.
himeko brews coffee while chatting quietly with welt, "you've felt it too, yes?" she asked him nervously, as if someone would hear if they were too loud. she sips her drink while glancing around every moment or so, displaying her franticness.
the express notices her off putting attitude, but before they can dwell on it, they begin to feel the same as her. it's almost like an illness, if this plague's symptoms were paranoia and impending doom.
the stellaron hunters are hardly different. kafka's smooth demeanor falters as she gazes off into the deep null of space. "who are you, divine being?" she asks into the nothingness, her sultry voice filling the otherwise empty air. as blade is sat on a couch, arms crossed over his chest, his posture seemed to be more tense than usual. of course, he was always uptight, but his behavior was extra rigid as of lately. silver wolf on the other hand, can't help but chuckle at kafka's philosophical rants and blade's silent pondering. she can tell that they're all puppets on a larger stage, meaning close to nothing in the vast universe — both her universe and yours.
aventurine, ever relaxed, has been carrying himself with a bit more of a troubled expression. his typical flamboyance has faltered and few around him have noticed. as aventurine sits on a red leather chair in an empty casino, he does not feel alone; tossing a golden coin between his fingers, aventurine begins thinking aloud. "i see you've chosen to reveal yourself, huh?" the blonde's voice is low and almost soft, as if he's trying not to offend whoever he may be speaking to.
dr. ratio's hair is a slightly unkempt, his eyebrows are pinched together much more frequently, and his papers and studies are left askew on his desk. a few members of the intellegentsia guild slowly catch onto how he's acting, and it's truly unbecoming of the infamous strict professor. his employees can be seen wearing a concerned expression when glancing over at him, yet are too afraid to inquire on his troubled state. "i will uncover whoever is ensuing this chaos amongst us all." ratio promises himself.
the xianzhou luofu is eerily quiet. the arbiter general himself has gone silent as well, as if the ship has been submerged into an ocean of solitude. jing yuan sits in his chair with his fingers intertwined atop his lap. internally, he wonders about this rumored 'creator'; are they real? is it an aeon? what does this mean for him? his companions? is something terrible on the horizon? his endless inquiries are certainly unlike him, causing the master diviner fu xuan to worry about him.
she feels that the world has been tilted also, however she's more concerned about jing yuan's scrambled state. "please, go home and rest, general." she pleads annoyedly, "mm. give me a moment, diviner fu." jing yuan replies quietly, his words melancholic. "you know as much as i do that something has changed." he states to the shorter woman.
boothill's shoes tap eagerly against the pavement that lined the roof of the building, echoing an ambience of anticipation. "what in the world are you?" the man questions the air rhetorically. he cannot, for the life of him, figure out what's causing such a stir in the mood of everyone, himself included. the silver cowboy's hand is rested on his hip, the other lifted to his neck with a finger pressed to his chin. "i dunno, but yer rackin' all our brains here.." boothill remarks, hoping that whoever is watching over him will hear it.
the enigmatic memokeeper is seen with a more defined smirk recently. black swan has taken interest is this unknown deity that has spiked fear and franticness all over the universe. she rests her palm against her chin, staring up into the stars that decorate the black outside of the express's windows. "i hope you'd be willing to speak with me, demiurge." she exclaims in a calm yet excited tone.
the head of the oak family stands in his obnoxiously large office, hands pressed against the polished table as he stares down at it. there's a few scattered documents thrown astray, but they're not important right now. all sunday can think of is you. he knows you exist, he's sure of it, and he won't rest until the day comes that you visit him and grace the world with your presence.
im so happy the eagles won the super bowl and kendricks performance was goated
