“hey bro do you think you can get ice cream?” you asked, childe spinning his head around from the couch, looking at you like “what?”. he dropped his phone onto his lap, still sitting in the couch as he just cocked a brow up.
“did you just call me ‘bro’?” he asked, slightly confused. “I mean, okay dude, i guess I can.”
“ajax, it was just a prank, love,” you explain, him just still confused. he knew it was a prank, but he was wondering why you even did that. like, what was it worth? I mean, come on, if it was a prank you should have replaced his toothpaste with mayonnaise or something. overall, he just thought it was a little odd- and just for that, he refused to buy ice cream.
“you suck ass.”
“fuck you.”

Kaeya - ♐︎
“bro, are you serious right now? did you really leave the toilet seat up?” you asked, disgusted by his behavior. however, he was more disgusted with your usage of the word “bro”. he hated that, he wasn’t your “bro”, he was your boyfriend.
in retaliation, he just rolled his eyes and said “call me bro again, and I’m going to always leave the toilet seat up.” what an empty threat, he never stayed true to his threats. you scoffed and just rolled your eyes back.
“whatever, bae. i was just kidding, y’know?” you reassured him, half scoffing and half smirking right then and there. he was still annoyed, he doesn’t take this shit lightly because he’s a sensitive bastard. “god, you’re such a baby.”
“could tell you the same shit when you cry when I fu-”
“kaeya alberich, shut the fuck up before I beat your ass,” you cut him off, holding a wooden spatula in your hand as he lightly laughed.
“whatever bae, I was just kidding, y’know?” he mocked you.
“kill yourself.”

Diluc - ♉︎
“hey bro, so I was thinking-”
you were immediately cut off by diluc’s reply. “bro?what am I, your close friend? dear, am I getting friend-zoned mid-relationship?” he speaks up, even though he knows you’re just joking, he thought he’d tease you a little.
“c’mon~ you know it’s a joke,” you whine, rubbing his forearm.
you two were in the middle of eating at a restaurant, diluc’s chopsticks holding the chicken between the two wooden utensils as he looks at you with a laughing and reading expression.
“y/n, you’re so strange sometimes,” he speaks before placing the food in his mouth.
you honestly expected a greater reaction out of your boyfriend, but I suppose he just thinks it’s a “you” thing.

Zhongli - ♑︎
“bro, so today I found this really cool kitchen gadget at the super market, can I use it to prepare dinner tonight? it’s an INSTANT PEALER for veggies!” you exclaim, zhongli just listening to you like usual.
“sure, why not? what are we having for dinner?”
did he not catch you? you did say something sort of weird. so, you say it again. “uhhh, we’re having fried zucchini and pasta, bro.”
“sounds lovely, I can’t wait, do you need help in the kitchen tonight?”
maybe he didn’t catch it again; he is kind of an idiot.
“no thanks, bro.”
“you realize I know what you’re doing and I just don’t care, right?” he speaks very nonchalantly and smiles cockily. it irked you, your face twisting into an embarrassed yet defensive expression.
Tags: fluff, loving and tired Ningguang, gotta love lesbian relationships.
Warning: not proofread.
A lady known for her success, known for her riches, known for her unparalleled business and her beautiful looks. However, it was scarcely known that she had a lover, whether they were a man or a woman, such details weren't disclosed to the public. Her secretaries - Baishi, Baiwen and Baixiao - were known figures, Ganyu, a half-qilin Adeptus - similar to a famous legal advisor- and Keqing, the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing and (Name), her assistant, both as knowledgeable as Ningguang, as kindhearted as gentle Ganyu and as open-minded as Keqing.
If people thought that her legendary blueprints and papers, her pots and accessories were a goldmine, then her most well-kept secrets would value millions upon millions of mora, no? However much such a simple name could cost, it had no utility if their said name were muttered once in relation to Ningguang's love life, or even spoken of.
Seated behind a paper-stacked desk, her lush, white hair and flawless face hardly peeked through the big stacks of contracts and reports. Although it was taxing to her mental and physical energy and sleep, they gave her solace, knowing that her hard work and her efforts were coming into fruition every day, even after having taken the seat of Liyue Qixing years ago. Her schedule was often the same too, repetitive and boring, with the minuscule additives of meetings and dinners to entertaining her paying guests. She, by far, valued the protection of her wealth and her beloved city more than herself - such determination shone through the ages, from her youth to her adulthood.
Though you admired her for that, you couldn't help yourself from being outwardly worried for her, knowing her from before both of you ascended to your current seat. That's why, as her assistant, you meticulously worked things that she was too busy to touch or look after: the search for a certain ginger? Check it off. Arresting the treasure hunters that have continuously looted a poor city on the outskirts of Liyue? Done. Investigating the sudden disappearance of a merchant family? History. Whatever you deemed too troublesome for Ningguang, you took off with it, finishing the assignment for your beloved Qixing.
So when the famous Traveller from Monds came by, asking for Ningguang's assistance in something, you knew it must be important -from his reputation - but you wanted to give him a few options since waiting might make him lose useful time.
"Evening, Traveller," you bowed lightly, acknowledging him for his high reputation. "Ningguang's currently in a meeting, would you like to wait until she's done or would it be possible for me to help you instead?"
Coming without notice, he knew it was an inconvenience, but to such extent that the Qixing was in a meeting, he felt bad and short in time. Eyes wide with shock, he shook his head while Paimon whined about coming here for nothing at all. You couldn't help smiling fondly at the duo's dynamic, it was often quite funny how they worked well, yet horribly together.
"Would it be fine if you helped us instead?" Aether asked sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck. "If it's fine! I know you have a lot of work with being her personal assistant-!"
"No worries, I did give you the option of my help before, no?" you chuckled, placing down the document you were holding on your desk. "So, tell me, dear Traveller, what has brought you to the Qixing's Jade Chamber's?"
Scratching his cheek shyly, he tilted his head embarrassingly, cheeks turning red. You giggled at his adorably shy display, who knew the saviour of Liyue and Honorary Knight would be *this* humbly shy - well, you and a few people who've worked with him have though.
"Yes, if you would."
Motioning him to sit down, you asked one of the secretaries to bring tea for your honoured guest.
"Now then, tell me what, what can I do for you?"
***
Returning to the chambers in the dead of night, you stumbled through the entrance and fell into open arms, the soft, yet firm embrace of the Qixing. Her taller frame held you tightly, safety and comfort exhuming from her once she had you in her arms. Sighing, her hands wandered down your arms to hold your calloused hands, fingers lacing with yours to hold onto them.
"Where were you, (Name)?" she asked, voice small and worried.
You felt bad for not leaving her a note about leaving with the Traveller this late evening, you added another thing to her workload. What a poorly made plan you had...
"I was out, helping our honoured guest, Ningguang," you returned her gesture, face nuzzled into her neck to comfort her. "Forgive me, I forgot to leave you a note or warn the secretaries."
She hummed, pulling you ever so closer to her, arms linking behind you as you did the same.
"You worried me, (Name)," she started, her chin laying on your head, she adored how you fit right in her arms, not too tall, nor too short. "I wouldn't know what to do without you, what I'd be without you, especially with how you came home. All dirty and wounded, I worry for you, (Name)."
"I know, I know," you shushed her fears, voice ever so gentle as if she'd break from the littlest tremor in your voice. "I'm fine, no? I'm back, nothing too dangerous for either of us."
"How can I not worry? You stumbled in, hair dishevelled and shaking. What was it that placed you in such a situation?"
Seeing no necessities in pursuing this conversation in the middle of the entrance's hallway, you pulled her to your shared room, readying to wash away the gunk and blood, and maybe invite her to share a bath.
She stood near the door, watching you run your hand through the warm water, preparing the tub for a relaxing shower, soapy water and all. With an inviting wave, Ningguang walked over and slid into the bathtub, joining your already naked body. Both stripped from clothes, her manicured nails rubbed circles in your head, bubbles rolling down from the shampoo she used. Her soft and nimble hands almost made you moan, she's always so caring, even when tired.
You stayed in each other's embrace, her digits gingerly running over your new wounds and old scars - from the time before you raised. Her body exhumed heat, as did yours, she was warmer and softer to you, more emotional and needier with you, more *human* and feeling than she appeared to the public. Behind closed doors, she was yours and you were hers, lovers entangled in their arms while showering, relaxing in the newly made bath to soothe your muscles and aches as your fingers intertwined with hers, forehead pressed firmly together and drowning in love and adoration.
That was Ningguang's well kept - her most important - secret, her little assistant who was her lover.
"Let's head to bed after this, Ningguang," you murmured against her supple lips.
"Yes, I think we should. Well call it a night," she kissed back, pressing her tired body to yours.
