Pantone goes on a quick outing as he's out you get an unexpected visit from one of the harbingers. They assume you are one of his maids and talks down to you. What will Pantalone have to say about someone talking so low to his fiance(e)?

You have been within Pantalone's mansion or our home. You are Panatlones fiance(e) as he proposed to you a few months ago. Before he proposed and he let you move into his home which was way better than yours. Anyways you've been living peacefully and have been the happiest you've ever been. Pantalone left the house a while ago, saying 'I have to pick something up, I'll be back in 30 minutes he kissed you and went out the door.

So now you're sitting on the very expensive couch with a blanket on you and it's very cozy right now. You read one of your books, it's getting a bit boring so, you take a sip of your drink sitting on the coffee table. As you do you look out the window it's snowing but very lightly and the last time you went out, it was cold. You continue looking out the window until you see a carriage approaching, you first get excited until you notice that it's not Pantalones. His is more darker and victorian while this one looks whiter and more modern. You see the carriage approaching and notice that it's let in through the gates, now you place your things down and get up and go towards the window. You see it approach the main entrance as a man walks out, you see his coat, and you realize he's another harbinger, with a mask and blue hair.

You hear him knock on the door as one of the maids are about to get it until you say "I'll get it!" You go and walk towards the door and open it. You open the door and he looks away from the snowy scenery and looks at you, "Ah, I guess your one of his helpers? could you tell Pantalone, I need him. Tell him it's from the doctor." "I'm sorry about that doctor, but Pantalone should be back in 15 minutes. Could I offer you something? Tea, coffee?" He looks at you and says "hm?" "I have some freshly baked pastries." "I suppose, I could wait." You let him come through the door as he hands, well more like tosses his scarf and his long heavy coat at you.

You put his coat on the standing rack, as you welcome him into the living space. He sits down in one of the seats next to the couch as he looks around the house. "I'll be right back, what would you like doctor?" "Some coffee, black." You nod and prepare it in the other room along with some treats you just made. You walk back in with the tray and place it on the coffee table. He grabs his coffee and drinks it under his mask. As you sit across from him you say

"So, doctor what brings you to Pantalone's home?" He looks at you "Why? Don't want me here for long do you?" "Oh no, it's not that." You nervously laugh a bit as you are taken a back by his statement "I enjoy guests and fellow work partners of Pantalone." You smile and then he smirks and sips his coffee. "Is that so? You just met a stranger and welcomed him into his home. How do you know I'm not lying?" "By your coat and you seem to know what you're doing." "Great observation." He puts down his drink and looks at the bigger couch containing your blanket, mug, and book from earlier.

"Your not actually his maid, are you?" You look in surprise "No I'm not." "What are you? His play thing? Toy? Or maybe your his courtesan?"

"They're my Fiance(e). Dottore."

You look at the doorway to reveal Pantalone, with an intimidating stance. "Ah, Pantalone welcome back." You smile at him as he walks in the light to reveal himself,

"Hello dear and greetings Dottore. What an unexpected visit."

Pantalone comes and stands in front of Dottore and he says "Enough of the treats, Dottore what do you wish to discuss? Prehaps come into my office instead." He leads Dottore down the hallway and into the office. Once they both go into the office and shut the door you go and wait outside the door. You hear some discussion and Pantalone using his annoyed tone. You try to make up some of the conversations and hear "You can't just come into my house unannounced." "Well, your little servant let me in." "They're not my servant. They are my significant other and thank you for dropping off the files, I will take care of the rest. Goodbye."

You hide behind the wall as Dottores walks out of the room and you wait a second until you knock on the door. "Dottore I said goodbye... Oh, it's just you darling. Come in." You walk I'm and pats his leg and you look hesitant but he pats and again and smiles softly you got and you sit on his leg. "I'm sorry if Dottore was giving you any trouble dear." He frowns a bit. "Well, I did invite him inside." He looks a little surprised and sighs "Your too kind for your own good." Even though you must admit what Dottore said was a bit upsetting. "Am I really your Courtesan?" His frown deepens "Oh no your not. Don't let his foolish banter get into your head. Your like mora, I can't get enough." You laugh at this statement "Mora? That's what I remind you of?" "Well, it's the second most precious things to me." You playfully smack his arm as he smirks and pulls you closer and wraps his hands around your waist and puts his face in the nook of your neck.

"Do know your place dear. You belong right next to me. Not anything below that." "Whatever you say, Pantalone." "I mean it darling."

Authors note: Here's another one for Pantalone, I'm obsessed with writing about him. Also, search up the courtesan if you don't know it. Have a good day everyone!

In which you, y/n are generous enough to give what you don't need to people who need it. You own a sell small crafts such as scarfs, gloves, and more. Pantalone takes notice of you and your small business. He then feels determined to spoil you, indulge you.

"Come along dear"

You follow close behind him, it's all been so different since you have gotten closer in your relationship. As you remember, from a simple citizen living comfortably, selling your crafts such as scarves, gloves, and more in the harsh Snezhnaya weather. It just so happens you catch the attention of the 9th Harbinger, Pantalone.

He witnessed you giving your scarf to one of the children on the streets along with your earnings for the day. You smile and pat the boy on the head as you wish him the best. Before you left you noticed he was tearing up so, for comfort you hugged him. He saw himself when he was young, in poverty and struggle. He wished someone as humble as you were there for him. So, he was determined to make you, his. Every other citizen within Snezhnaya would never have done what you did sacrifice your earnings and material, he certainly wouldn't have if he were in your position. So, the next day he, along with his guards came up to you, when he first greeted you, your astonished looked was adorable. I mean what man of his status would approach you and your basket full of crafts. Him, of course.

"Greetings, what would you be selling in that basket of yours." He said as he stood tall in front of you. You were admiring him, he could tell and then you responded quickly. "Oh, Hello sir! These are just some things I knit and crochet. I apologize but I don't think I can offer you anything, of your liking." You knew your place and he liked that. He responded with "Nonsense! I'm sure you have something." He smiled you then showed him all of your crafts. "This scarf is the finest material I have. It's a new pattern, I just made it as well, you could say it's one of a kind." You nervously chuckle a bit. How adorable, under such pressure his presence, you manage to still be cute. He nods and says "How much would it be then?" You look up at him surprised, you say "Well I normally negotiate depending on the person so, as much as you think it's worth! Normally people just do 2500 mora." You smile brightly. As you give him the scarf, it's clearly not the expensive material he was used to but, he knew that he would like it more than that.

He turns around and grabs a few bags of mora from one of his guards, the amount that would equal about 10 times the price of a normal item from your basket. He notices you peaking at him as his back is faced to you. You then resume your spot as he turns back around.

"Would this be enough.?" He gives you five bags of Mora, he notices you weren't expecting this much since your hands go down as he places it in your hands. You look at him in shock, he then smiles and says "I'll see you again, perhaps I could commission you, hm? Would you be interested in that?" You nod your head eagerly as he puts the scarf around his neck, "Wait, sir, this really is too much! I mean, I would love to make something for you but-" He looks into your eyes and says "Trust me, dear, this doesn't put a dent in my wallet!" He chuckles then looks back at you "I'll keep in touch." He smiles and walks away leaving you shocked but smiling.

The next time you two met was a week later when he saw you once again in the marketplace at your same location. He saw you standing there with your basket as you notice him and smile. He approaches you with his guards once again. You greet him and give a little bow "Sir, Pantalone! I can't thank you enough for what you did last time!" He looks at you with a smirk and he says "I see you've figured out my name. You were asking around, weren't you?" You nervously hold your basket with both hands and say "Yes, I was just curious! I don't think I've ever given you my name it's, y/n." You politely smile at him.

He already knew that of course, he knew everything. Ever since he last saw you he went through your government files and even sent someone to spy or should he say protect and watch you? You, of course, would never know that when you were as rich as him, then you could hire the most professional people, even for the simplest of things. Especially when you have a little crush on the humble, crafty, little shopkeeper. He then resumed his smile "Well about that commission, I was thinking I could invite you to dinner to discuss it?" You look at him in amazement, and say "Really?! I would appreciate that a lot sir." He smiled and said "Perfect, I will send an escort to your home. Which is?" He acted dumb just so he could gain your trust. "Oh, it's just a little home right next to the bakery. Let me write it down!" You grab a piece of paper from your basket and write it down with a pen and hand it to him. It says 'The small house, left of the bakery south of Snezhnaya. :)' How sweet. He looks from the note to you once again and says "Great, at 6:30 someone will come and fetch you." You nod and give a precious smile.

Later that evening you tried to get the nicest outfit you had. As he was right someone at exactly 6:30 showed up with a carriage?! He was awaiting you at the fanciest restaurant, in all of Snezhnaya. He was located in the back, in a private dining area. Dressed in his usual attire, fancy to those beneath him but casual for him. He watched you look around as you entered the room as you met his gaze he then put his elbows on the table and put his hands together. "Good evening y/n, a pleasure to see you here." You smile and say "You're the one who invited me here." He grins and says "It seems I did. So, how was your day, mx y/n?" "Just fine, after your donation, I've been lucky to make much greater items with more sales and give supplies to those who need it." You responded looking down with a small smile then you look back at him as he states, "Don't think of it as a donation, instead more like a profit you deserve, for your hard work and humbleness." He looks at you seriously. You anxiously sit in your chair feeling his gaze on you.

"About that commission." "Oh yes, I'm willing to create whatever you desire!" You state. "Great, I have some fabrics I wish for you to create anything you want with them. As long as you become my personalized tailor when it comes to what you can create." You're amazed at this offer as he continues "You still be able to sell your other items as long as you create what I desire, and I'll pay you around 50,000 mora per item?" "50,000?! That's certainly enough! I'm willing to take your offer, I just hope I can be a great service to you." He smiles and closes his eyes then opens them to meet your gaze "Don't worry dear, you will be."

He truly was obsessed with you, your personality is what struck him, but your looks were a bonus as well. I mean he could've married the heir to a rich family but where was the fun in that? When working he would zone out and think of how cute you would be in his home sitting near the fireplace snuggled up to him and making the cutest things for him. He could see it so clearly and just imagine the wedding the two of you would have, aw! How beautiful you would look. He would make this not a daydream no, instead, it would be your, our future. He just had to take his time.

As ever since then he's caught you in his web, you can't say you hate it though, it's been a few months since those events happened. You made around 7 items for him, you still keep your little shop around except you have a cute little stand he purchased for you as he quoted "Here, we can't have you in the cold, now can we?" You have even been able to get the finest silk and other materials, to create items just for Pantalone. Every time you see him he's normally at least wearing one of your items, he has told you that other people have asked where he got his carefully crafted and unique pattern gloves, wishing they had a pair. You have been so lucky to have him give so much to you, yet you still don't know why. You even took up sewing and other hobbies to be crafty with ever since you gained the budget.

Now he's taking you out shopping as you follow him along on his journey. "It's great that you joined me on this outing, y/n. You really should spoil yourself every now and then." You follow up behind him and say "That's why I have you, Pantalone." You giggle he takes your hand and says "Don't mess with me, darling. I like to give you what you deserve." You two take a stroll around the expensive indoor shopping center, with fatui guards around just in case. You look from the ground and to him and say "So, Pantalone, I've had this question wandering around in my head and I just need to know... Why did you buy from my shop if I was way below you and your status?" He glances down at you and says "Don't be so silly. Your shop was adorable." You stop and so does he and you respond with "Buts that's not the actual reason why right?"

His glare sharply meets your eyes as he sighs pushes his glasses up and says "Do you give to the poor and needy?" You remember and say "Yes, I give my earnings and my leftovers of my materials to all kinds of people. Who need it." His lips resume a flat line as he grabs both of your hands with his and looks at you with a small smile and says "I've never seen anyone in your position do that before, you were living comfortably and instead of using it for yourself you gave it to others. I used to be like those children on the street." He frowns and then continues with a smile "I wish someone like you were there for me. When I was in that position." His gaze is soft unlike anything any expression you've seen him wear. He leans in and says "You deserve to indulge yourself in what you deserve. And I, Pantalone wish to do that to you, dear." He smiles and kisses you on the lips. His lips are warm compared to the weather as you lean in. He then pulls back and says

"So, will you let me indulge you?"

Authors Note: Hey everyone it's me, I'm addicted to writing about Pantalone I just have so many scenarios and drabbles I want to write about him. It seems that you all enjoy it as well. Since you all liked my signing Subordinate! Also, in case you're wondering what mx is, it's a gender-neutral term for Mr/Mrs feel free to insert what you'd like it to be or just use mx. If the POV was confusing, I apologize! Thank you so much all for the love, I hope to continue my writing for all you darlings!

Heyyy i wanted to ask if you could do a Pantalone x Male reader, where the reader is a king??? I really adore your work and i would really love it if you would write this <3

Your Highness

♡ Male! King! Reader x Pantalone ♡

◇ No warnings ◇

♧ 1.3k words ♧

You are a king in one of the cities across teyvat ruling your people with ease and being a rich kingdom. Which catches the eye of a certain harbinger that wants to negotiate. But what if Pantalone ends up getting more than expected and the king ends up with a new loyal subject?

"My king you have a letter from the fatui." You look back from the window in your throne room and look at the messenger. "For what reason?" You state, hoping it's something appealing and not anything that may damage the kingdom. The messenger coughs before he reads aloud "The fatui wish to present the Regrator, to meet about your growing and rich kingdom. They wish to improve their supplies under the Tsaritsa and improve your prosperous kingdom. He will come this weekend via carriage-"

You look back in shock as you interrupt "Wait when was this signed?" "This Monday, it's currently Saturday," You grab the message and look back over it. He was right so, that means he's supposed to arrive today and you're not prepared at all. "Go get the staff they need to make sure they know the regrator is arriving and make sure the palace doesn't look like a mess," You sigh as the messenger leaves. You've never met them or but you have seen them at gatherings. You take a second to prepare yourself for the visit and what to say. But before you can do that a guard comes in.

"King (y/n), you have a visitor, the Regrator." You immediately fix your posture and smoothen down your clothes and tell them to let him in. When the doors opened you were greeted with a tall, slim build, man with beautiful black hair and face wearing only the most expensive items, as well as his charming glasses. You take a moment to admire him as he approaches your throne but are quickly taken back when his smooth voice speaks. "Hello, Your Highness, I am Pantalone also known as the Regrator." He bows and looks down "I've noticed you in particular as you seem to be quite successful. Prehaps you would be interested to discuss that subject?" His eyes gleam in the light as he looks up at you and stands back up, You look at his eyes and say "Well, I would like to discuss something that would benefit the both of us... Maybe you could join me for dinner tonight, you could of course stay the night in of my spare bedrooms? My treat of course."

You don't know much about him but he is one of the most wealthy man in the land and its better to be on his good side. But you also wouldn't mind knowing more about him and looking at his charming features longer. He then approaches you and kisses your hand "That would be so kind... my, king." He smiles and his hand lingers on your hand a little longer. You feel your face heat up by this action. As you grab the hand he kissed and say "Well, I'll eacort you, as your host." You stand up and go in front of him, he follows behind you and puts his hand on your arm, feeling the silk of his gloves that could send shivers down your back and says "That would be oh so kind, king (y/n). If I'm allowed to be on a first name bias with you." You two start walking down one of the halls as the you two walk side by side , "That's fine, Pantalone. I see you would like to discuss the my kingdom?"

He looks over to your eyes and then back in front of him, "Well, your kingdom of your happens to store quite the farmland and what I've heard a newfound supply of all kinds of mined goods." You look back, surprised you haven't told anyone about the vast amount of discoveries you've found with a new mine you set up within your territory. You resume your calmness and day "I see, and what shall I get in response to my supply?" He stops and grabs both of your hands "A new loyal, and very powerful subordinate." His deep and slim eyes look into yours and you scoff and say "The most wealthy and predominant man in Teyvat, as a loyal subject? You must want something else."

"You've caught me there, (y/n). How about I have you." Your eyes go wide as your heart starts pounding, "Me? Don't tell me I've upset the fatui, somehow I-" He leans closer softly but firmly holding the back of your head and grabs your lower waist "That's not how I meant it, we've meet at social gatherings before and I think, we have a connection. Prehaps even an, interest in one another." He whispers into your ear as your mouth goes agape. He pulls away slowly and then puts the other hand on your waist "I think you should make your decision by dinner. Let's make sure your decision dosent end the fall of your kingdom." He smirks and walks inside the spare bedroom you both conveniently stopped in front of.

You awaited the dinner meeting you made with Pantalone, as you've been waiting early for him already sitting down in the dinning room. He walks in showing off normal outfit without the coat which shows off his incredible body. As he sits down and says "Well, good evening your Highness." He gives a little bow and sits down "Pantalone, I expect you've settled in well. Would you care for a drink?" He nods and says "Yes, your staff is quite efficient and get me your finest wine." The sever nod and walks out of the room as he then peers over to you, his tone turns serious and almost threatening as he puts his hand on the table and leans in closer to you "I've given you some time now to think over your decision. Let's decide, hmm?"

[Make your decision]

> Accept ♡

"I think we have a connection. We have a great possibility to go great together." He smiles and clasps his hand together while saying "I knew you felt the same, now let's get to eating and getting to know each other a little better." The server comes back as you two eat and he drinks his wine you both laughing and enjoying time with one another. You two end up leaving to the same room and he spends a couple of extra days at your palace. Each day makes your kingdom even more powerful as turns out Pantalone is a very strong leader and good with your citizens. The next following weeks follow as he eventually had to leave and you two write letters every day to one another, while you await his next visit. Taking up Pantalone's offer has probably been the best thing you've done.

> Decline ×

"I don't think so, Pantalone we've just officially met. I also believe you have something else you want." He deeply frowns and sighs shaking his head slowly with his eyes closed. "Be that way, but don't be surprised when anything happens and the fatui aren't here to help." He then stands up grabs the wine that the server just walked in with and as he goes out the door. "Pantalone I-" He stops but doesn't look back as he sips his wine as says "I believe our business is done here. Thank you for your time, your Highness." He puts the empty wine back on the server's tray while you sit here in silence as you eat your meal for two. The next following weeks your kingdom has been financially falling apart little by little. One day your supplies in the mines, have been robbed, and your crops are dying, and the next your alliances with other kingdoms start ending. Leaving you and your kingdom in shambles, maybe taking up Pantalone's offer had been the best idea.

A/N: This was my first request and was fun to write even though I've been so busy so, it came out later than anticipated. I do hope you like it and it wasn't shorter than you expected. When it comes to one-shots I like to keep it short and to the point anyways I hope you all liked it and feel free to request and hope you all have a lovely day! :)

Hidden away

(Dottore x reader)

◇ Arguments, some threatening? Basically angst to fluff ◇

♧ 0.7k words ♧

What happens when you, Dottores significant other end up leaving the lab and end up meeting one of the harbingers. You bump into them and then they start asking you questions. Dottore realizes you are gone and goes on a search for you and meets you with a certain ginger. He then scolds you for going out without his permission.

You just had to get out of that lab, it was cold and Dottore was too busy in the other part of the lab with his experiments. Normally you could stay in there all day with him but today was different, all of his clones were busy too so, you had no entertainment. As that sounds like a childish statement but what was the point of moping around all day? You already organized stuff in the lab, doodled, and did whatever else you could think of. Since Dottore brings you to his lab he wouldn't mind you exploring the rest of the area, would he?

Whatever it was too late to rethink that decision as you pushed open the lab doors as quietly as you could. The hallways looked long and dark and as you looked around at the four way hallway there was barely anyone around except some fatui guards but they already knew you were allowed there. You decided to walk forward down the hallway as you did you hugged the coat you were wearing it was cold, you'd think they'd have a heater of something.

As you were looking at the architecture of of the hallways and as you go around a corner you bump into a taller man, ginger, man with a red scarf and winter attire. You fall back some but regain you balance "Oh sorry about that Comrade." You look at his eyes and say "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking were I was going.!" He looks at your appearance "Hey, your not apart of the fatui are you?" "Um, no but." He looks at you his gaze going cold.

He must think your an intruder or something "Say your not trying to spy around or anything like that, right?" You look at his hand as a water like blade starts to form. "No, you got all wrong! I'm with-" "Y/n! What do you think your doing!?" You see Dottore angrily storming down the hallway. Oh no. He quickly walks over to you and the gingers location and grabs you by the arm "Just, where did you think your going?" He looks at you then the ginger his blue eyes go wide.

"I must apologize on their behalf Childe. I didn't think they would go outside the lab and wonder into unknown territory." His ha d grips your arm harder. You can tell he's very upset, your nervous but then again who knows what Childe, would've done if Dottore hadn't come along. "No, it's fine doctor. I just had to be cautious." Childe looks at you like he's kind of pitying you. "Alright, then lets go y/n. Now." He let's go of your arm as you quickly follow him and you look back at Childe he's whisper a nervous looking 'sorry'.

"What were you thinking?! Going around here isn't any joke, and who knows what would've happened if I hadn't come to your aid!" You sit on a chair as Dottore scolds you like a child. Pacing in front of you. "I'm sorry Dottore but you've just been so busy, and I got-" "What did you get... bored? Really? I spend every last second your taken care of you" "By your clones." He stops and looks at you "It's still me, no? So stop acting like such a brat." He stops again facing away from you as he sighs and put his hands together.

"I must admit I'm worried about you dear, your not as strong or have the brains when it comes to stuff like this." He comes and sits next to you and takes his mask off to look at you. "Childe, even though he's below me, he could've killed you in one movement." He then looks up at the tall ceiling and runs his hand through his hair. You then hold his hand and say "I apologize Dottore, I was pushing it and I shouldnt have." His crimson eyes meet yours and he says "I'll take you around wherever you want to look, okay?" You hug his chest and say "Okay." He then puts his hand on your head and you both stay like that for a while.

"Just stay hidden away."

Authors note: Here's another little drabble for the Doctor, hope he's not too ooc. I greatly appreciate everyone's love on my recent posts!<3

In which y/n and grim go behind the woods of the Ramshackle to get away from all the chaos. Y/n wanders through the forest and can't help but prance through the woods with Grim. They pretend they're dancing with a prince until they meet one...

"Why are we going all the way out here, henchman!"

You look down at Grim in your arms and sigh saying "I just want to get away from everything, it'll be peaceful for a nap." You smile at the cat in hopes that nap comment will please him. He then huffs and says "Great mages such as myself need to get away sometimes!" You nod happily and walk through the woods not too far to get lost in it. You then can't help but feel at peace and feel comfortable knowing no one is around. You then got a wonderful idea.

You then hold onto grims two arms, Grim looks at you with a weird look at says "What are you doing, henchman?" You hold onto his arms and swing him around in circles in almost a waltz like state. "Just dance with me Grim. Vil said I needed to practice my waltz." You then grab onto Grim and hum 'once upon a dream' and you practice your steps. Grim is held in your whether he like it or not as you waltz around the forest. It feels peaceful and relaxing as your at ease of the peace and calmness of the forest, you close your eyes.

While prancing around with your eyes closed, which was probably a bad idea in the first place, you didn't notice that Grim left your grasp. Then while waltzing backwards your trip on something, a tree stump. As you try to cushion you fall to meet the hard dirt you instead feel a pair of hands that catch your arms. You look up to meet a very tall, black hair and horned, green eyed individual.

You look up at him as he smiles and says "I think I know you." He helps you up to your feet and puts his hand on your waist and holds the other in his sharp nailed hand. You pull away from him and say "Thank you for helping me but I'm sorry, your still a stranger." He then meets your gaze and says "We've met before, dont you remember? Once upon a dream." He thens starts humming the tune he holds back onto you and starts waltzing around, although you don't now this horned man you can't help but feel relaxed in his presence. As the two of you are dancing he then spins you and then pulls you close.

You look up at him and then realize, "Horton!?" He then chuckles and resumes his smirk "Yes it is I, Horton, my dear." You look in shock and then he pulls you closer.

"Perhaps it's time I give you my real name, it's Malleus. Now I wish for you not to think of me any differently. But do resume calling me by your cute little nickname."

Authors Note: Here's a cute little drabble I made. Some might consider it cringe but I tried to make it not so much. Hope you enjoy it though! >3<

Signing Subordinate

♡ Reader is gender neutral ♡

♧ 1.3k words ♧

You were invited by your superior, Pantalone, to a ball. As you both arrive, a very wealthy man approaches both of you as he tries to talk he cant seem to get his words out right, but you notice that he signs as he talks. You understand that he's deaf and translated as a sign to speech for Pantalone. What will his reaction be?

As the subordinate or assistant, if you would like to call or that, it can be challenging, especially being Lord harbinger, Pantalone's subordinate. You do things on the daily for him, let him know his schedule, assign meetings with business partners, do never-ending paperwork, and the list can go on. But him inviting you as a plus one to a ball he would be attending for his status and as he has said before 'To make new business partners' and he also said that you being there to assist him would be beneficial. So you agreed to go. Balls that weren't exactly on your job description, but it would be nice to attend one, job or not.

So, you are now dressed up looking nicer than usual. Now Pantalone wouldn't have you dressed in rags and your hair looking bland, especially as his assistant. You are within his personal carriage he travels within, sitting across from him. You can't help bit feel nervous about going to such a party, you didn't have a rich background and was offered to do this job by your good friend Childe, saying he trusted you and so should the other harbingers. He glances up at you and says, "What's wrong dear, you look quite anxious?" You look away from the winter landscape through the window as look at him and then look down, saying,"I've never been to such a party or ball in my life before. Especially an upper-class one." He looks at you a bit disappointed but your statement but then smirks."Perhaps I should bring along more then."

You both shortly arrive to the beautiful manor as he holds his hand out for you to get out of the carriage, as you thank him. You both walk in, and everybody is sure to notice the most wealthy man the teyvat has ever seen. You follow behind him, you can't feel but feel lost in such an environment so, you stay by his side. After a while he grabs a drink and starts talking to his 'business partners' striking up new offers and opportunities even introducing you to some of them saying "If you ever want to see me, make sure to get it through my assistant. I only pick the best to work with me."

As he finished up a conversation with one of his partners, you two are now standing alone, as he sips on whatever drink he's having, and you can't but eye the dessert table. As you were cut out of your thoughts when an attractive man around the same age as Pantalone and you, approaches. Pantalone smiles at man. "Hello sir, I haven't seen you around here before." The man tries to get his words out, but Pantalone can't seem to understand. You look at his hand and realize he signs as he talks. You quickly realize he's hard of hearing.

You end up in front of Pantalone instead of beside him. As you sign to the man, "Hello, my name y/n, his name Pantalone." The man smiles at you as you're sure he's glad someone else knows sign language. As you finished spelling Pantalones name, you looked up at him, a surprised and quite shocked expression shown on his face. You the look back to the man and sign "How can I help you today sir? I could translate, you sign, I talk." You give the man a questioning look along with your signed question he nods and signs 'thank you and a yes'.

You then talk to Pantalone as he starts signing, "His name is Mr. Alexia and he is born deaf. He was wondering if you both could make a deal as he would provide alliance and materials if you were to give some funds to his first deaf school in Scheznaya. He is willing to do a meeting if you would like, as kind y/n could translate for me." You smile at the nice compliment as you look up to Pantalone, who is peeked with curiosity. "Y/n, dear, please tell him to discuss matters with you about the meeting, I would very much like to hear what Mr. Alexia has to offer." You nod and sign it to the man, Pantalone smiles as you do so. Once you finish the man signs, 'Yes, of course. Thank you for this opportunity.'

You and the Mr. Alexia sign in front of Pantalone, you manage to fill in a time for his meeting and then he signs you a question 'Are you two together or married?' You can't help but let a small laugh as you're sure Pantalone is questioning what so funny. Your laugh dies down a bit as you sign.'No way, he's my boss!' You make stern face when you sign boss he chuckles and nods you two then part ways and say your goodbyes.

Then, when he leaves, Pantalone grabs ahold of your shoulder and says, "Did you get everything sorted out?" You nod "Yes we did. I'll have to put the meeting in your calendar." He smiles as he looks at you. You can't help but smile a bit. He then says, "So, why didn't you tell me you could sign such a language?" You respond back."You never really asked, and I thought I wouldn't need it until now." He nods and then thinks for a moment until he says,"Well, I knew I kept you around for something." He chuckles a bit as you give an annoyed look but not at him. He's still your superior.

"Oh, but I have to ask, what were you two giggle about in front of me. It's not nice to keep secrets, you know." He voice sounding low and curious. You then feel a bit of a warmth rush up to your cheeks as you feel a bit embarrassed to tell him. "Um, well he asked if you and I. Were um, together." You state as he raises an eyebrow and grins,"and I suppose him not meaning your place in your profession with me. Hmm?" He leans in a bit almost as if he's teasing you. "Well, what did you tell the kind man?"

"Well, I told him you're my superior," you remark back at him. "You don't have to make such a stern face when signing that." He gives a obviously teasing pout after saying that. But then he says unexpectedly, "I'll have to change your status then. Say, how do you sign together?" You look up at him he shows a broad smile. You then ball your two hands into fists and then put them together. He copies your actions and then points at you and then him and signs together.' he states "Well did I do it, right?"

"Yes, um, yes you did, in fact!" You feel a bit flushed as he usual charming smile rest on his face. He then grabs your hand and says, "You've never been to such a ball before right. Allow me to dance with you?" You nod as he leads you to where the music starts playing and dancers begin. You look at the man you translated for feeling the vibrations of the music, and you can't help but smile.

Who knew translating would get you closer to your superior, or should you say, your equal

Authors Note: Okay, so, for school, I have to do forgien language, so I'm learning ASL! I thought, why not incorporate my learning with my writing? So, here's my attempt. I did the best I could with the signs and trying not to make Pantalone too out of character. Anyways have a great day, my dears!

The Vampires

(Diluc, Pantalone, Ayato)

♡ Reader is gender neutral ♡

◇ No warnings ◇

♧ 1.8k words ♧

You knock at the large door but get no response, and you're not just going to stand out here in the rain. So, as you push forward before you can even touch the door, it slams open. You shriek a bit as a few bats fly out. You take this as a welcome despite the red flags. You cautiously walk-in and might as well ask if someone's home.

"Um, Hello..? Is anyone home? I'm y/n, and I didn't mean to intrude, but I got abandoned and -"

You stop mid-sentence to see a menacing figure with a long cape, and the thunder shows through the window to reveal sharp fangs...

Diluc

"Y/n"

A masculine figure steps out his blood colored eyes and hair in a hair pony tail with a long cape and victorian styled outfit. His face is stoic but quite handsome. He's is quite tall and the main feature, his sharp fangs.

"Y/n, that's your name?" You glance at him to meet his crimson eyes. You snap out of his trance and say "Yes, that's my name, I really hope you don't mind me barging in here and-" "You really don't need to waste your breath any longer, I understand your in need of shelter. I will allow you to stay the night." You look at him. you're almost surprised by his kindness as his face showed no emotion.

"My name is Diluc. As a welcome into my home, would you mind joining me for some grape juice?" You nod whether you like the juice or not. You can't just deny his offer. You follow his figure into a hallway. You can't help but admire the craftsmanship of this castle and the bird portraits from owl to hawks. You stop to look at a dove portrait. You look back at him to see him almost admiring you. He looks away, acting unbothered as he continues his trail. You then go into a room that looks like a tea room, more like a grape juice room. He pulls out a chair for you to sit in. You sit as he walks away to some cupboards to pick his best grape juice or maybe poison. You hope it's not the second option.

You get pulled from you thoughts as he stands in front of you pouring grape into your glass as you can't help but stare at him as he looks away from the drink he's pouring to glance at you. You give him a quick smile and a small thank you as he looks away, but you can't help but notice his cheeks are a little more red than they were before. He sits across from you, drinking his much redder grape juice.

You look at him as you say, "Master Diluc, I would like to thank you for inviting me here to stay the night and this drink, but I have to ask..." He quickly looks up and says,"Do not call me; 'master' Diluc, but I will allow your question, what is it?" He leans in a bit more, making you tense. "Your Fangs" You can't help but glance over at them and then back at him. You hope it wasn't an offensive question, but his actions seem otherwise.

He stands up abruptly and walks over to your chair and puts his arms on the arm rest, and leans in to you, and you get a much closer look than you wanted. "They're fangs, I don't mean to scare you, but... I am a vampire, as the townspeople like to call it. " You can't help but be intimidated but his stance. You stare into his eyes, but they're staring at your neck. He pulls away and looks away, almost looking upset. "My apologies, y/n, I'll lead you to a guest bedroom. Right this way."

You are speechless by this act, but get up to follow him into the night.

Pantalone

"And?"

You look up to the tall, slender male walk into the window light. You can't help but admire him, his black hair, glasses, and the fact that his apparel is quite expensive looking. You see that his long black coat drags across the ground with silver accents. With diamond rings across his gloved hands. And his glasses, but you can't help but notice his fangs.

You snap out of your thoughts and say, "And, I was wondering if I could stay the night. Just until the rain passes through." "Ah there we go, see it's quite rude to stop mid sentence and look someone up and down. Isn't that right, dear?" You glance at his squinted eyes and sly smile. "Yes, sir, I apologize." He steps closer to you and walks around you, examining your appearance. You stand still until he stops in front of you.

"Well, I suppose I can't have my guest dressed in rags. Follow me." Your clothing isn't that bad, and should you really trust this stranger? It's better than getting struck by lighting, you suppose. You quickly stumble along behind him as he seems to move more swift and precise.

As you walk down an endless hallway, he says, "So, you say you were abandoned? How could someone leave a darling like you, out in this time and weather?" You say,"my friends invited me they wanted to come and examine your castle, but left me in the dust." You responded back sadly as you finally come to a stop in front of a door. He stands in front of you. "Hmm, I suppose those are no good friends of yours, but I will give you the proper care, for now." He smiles and opens a door to reveal a huge closet full of the most expensive clothing and accessories you could imagine.

"Now I suppose you would try some things on? as the changing room is right there." He states pointing to a stall. You look at him confused and say, "This is really too much as I don't even know your name?" You sit down on a bench and look at you, my name is "My name is Pantalone, and you shouldn't be questioning me when I am giving you a chance to experience such riches." He sneers.

You nod and grab an outfit already set out and head to the stall as you try it on, which it happens to be, in fact, the most expensive and beautiful outfit you have ever worn. You walk out to him and look in the mirror near him, and you approach the mirror to get a better view. You look behind you in the mirror as Pantalone is smiling as he puts his hands on your shoulders.

"My, my, we no longer have a cold and wet little y/n anymore. But I must say this outfit is delightful on you." "Thank you, Mr. Pantalone, but this really is quite expensive, for my taste." He looks and you in mirror and says "Nonsense, in fact I have just the thing for you!" He reveals a pearl necklace which seems to be the cherry on top to this elegant outfit. He puts it around your neck as he clasps the necklace together. But he doesn't take his hands away from your neck right away.

His hands caress your neck, and you start to worry about what he is planning. Should you run or even fight back? Instead, he leans into your neck, barely touching it as he says, "What a nice neck you have, I would love to have a bite. Hmm~", but you pull away in fear as you look back at him. He frowns and says, "Well, that's a very polite way to treat a vampire, is it?" You stand anxiously, and he pulls you closer to him.

"Now, now, dear, I don't bite... much."

Ayato

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you mx, y/n."

He steps out as you get a better view. Blue hair, you would say that his eyes are blue, but they seem purple. He wears a long cape engraved with a traditional white pattern. And not to mention his traditional but seemingly old outfit. You look at his eyes but can't help but view his fangs.

You manage to meet his eyes, and he gives a small smile. "Now, y/n, why have you taken shelter in my home?" He steps forward to you while asking. "Well, you see, I got left by some friends, and the rain started and wanted a place to wait until the rain passes." He frowns "Well I see, I shall make you stay enjoyable at the Kamisato estate." He resumes his normal expression. He puts his hand out for you to take. You hold on to his gloved hand as he leads you somewhere.

You both end up walking together to a very expensive looking living room. He sits you down on a chair near the fireplace, and he sits across from you, not too far but not too close to make it uncomfortable. You can't help but notice a picture of him and his sister hanging on the wall. You knew you heard that name before. "You're a Kamisato? Don't you have a sister?" He looks up and you and says,"Why yes, my sister does like to be more; present. For the common people, I merely do my duties behind the scenes."

You nod and notice he pulls out, boba tea? You did not see him move at all. How odd. You ignore it as he notices you staring at his drink, or maybe his fangs. "Oh rude of me to not offer my guest any drinks, would you like something to eat or prehaps you want a drink of mine, y/n?" You're about to say no until you hear your stomach rumble. You can't help but feel a bit embarrassed as you nod yes. "That drink looks amazing, but I don't want to share yours." He quickly insisted that "It's fine, I have another one." Okay, you have no idea where he keeps summoning boba tea, but you can't help but grab it from him. You take a sip of your new drink and notice the very metallic taste in your mouth. You almost want to spit out the drink, but you swallow it.

"What's wrong, darling? Not in mood for some blood?" He smirks as you're about to get up and excuse yourself or maybe even get out of here. He looks at you much more seriously.

"Sit back down dear, we have much more to talk about.

The mad Scientists

(Dottore, Albedo)

♡ Reader is gender neutral ♡

◇ No warnings ◇

♧ 1.0k Words ♧

You walk towards the castle and walk towards the tall door, and as you push it open, it shrieks. You walk in to find cobwebs and dust you, then take it upon yourself to find something or someone here. There were legends of a crazy doctor living here who would do experiments on you if you trespassed. But those were all crazy stories they told to their children.

You see a hallway with a light coming from it as you walk towards it and peek in. You notice a large laboratory with tubes and what looks like a table with restraints. Then you notice a table filled with chemistry and notes you walk towards it, to investigate.

That is until you hear the door opening from behind you to reveal a masculine figure with a lab coat.

Dottore

"Well, what do we have here?"

You look at the man in front of you, quite tall, blue haired man. He has the basic lab coat, button up underneath a few buttons up top undone, and a pair of slacks and some hefty boots. With a bird like mask full of details, you can't help but wonder what the rest of his face looks like. You look at the man quite frightened, but he just smirks and walks closer, and you back away.

He ends up pushing you against the chemistry table you were looking at. He examines your basic features until he grips both of your cheeks in one hand quite harshly and then moves you face from side to side to get an even closer examination. He then lets go and looks you up and down. Then he let's out a sharp toothy grin as he says, "Well, you have all the requirements I need."

You look confused at him, his hands reside beside your sides on the table, capturing you within. You say "What, requirements..?" He continues grinning and says, "You walk into my home and take shelter within. I'm not just going to let you stay here without payment." You feel the need to run, fight, or something but you stay still, he seems much stro ger than you. He would easily get you. He then turns away and scrambles through his messy counter and grabs a clipboard and a few other supplies as he says,"Would you mind sitting on the counter?" You don't know what to do so you obey.

He says "Good, now I'm Dottore, and what would my patients name be?" He comes closer with his clipboard as he grabs a pen. "My name would be y/n." He nods and writes something down for a while, your name isn't that long. You can't help but speak your concerns "Um, Dottore." He peaks up at you "Go on." You respond with "Are you planning something? What are you going to do with me?" He then stares at you through his mask and smirks. He puts down his clipboard and turns around to a counter and his back faces you. He Let's out a chuckles and turn around to reveal a syringe and he taps it as he slowly gets closer and closer to you.

"Let's say, I just want to experiment on my new pet."

Albedo

"Unexpected company, I see."

You look to reveal an average height man, with light blonde hair in a half pony tail. His lab coat is decorated with some stars like shapes near the bottom. His eyes are a vibrant blue and on his bead are some old lab safety goggles. He walks a bit closer to you curious, but wary of your presence.

He stops and says "Who are you and what are you doing within my laboratory?" He says as it rather calm as if your not a random stranger. He looks at you with almost no emotion. You say "I'm y/n, and I came for shelter, I didn't mean to intrude especially in your lab." He responds rather quickly saying "I am Albedo." Then he walks and examines you carefully he's says "It's been a while since a human has come into my home." He then grabs your arm investigating it and moving in certain way. He then lets go as he just got an amazing idea. "Say how about you assist me in something. I'll let you stay here for the night if you do."

You then nod your head and say "I'll do it, but it depends what your asking for. I would rather not be stuck in the rain" He looks at you giving a small smile and then goes to grab something it looks a like a small glass bottle with a sealed cork at the top. He then hands it to you and says "Just drink it, that's all you have to do." His face remains the same, you look at him and say "Your not going to poison me, are you. Your still a stranger." He looks at you and says "Your a stranger as well, within my residence. I wouldn't poison you that would be useless." You nod, what else do you have to lose, as you end up drinking the small bottle it one sip. It has a flowery but almost chemical taste to it. You feel no effects at first until you start seeing two and the world around spins and blurs. You lose your balance as he catches you around your waist and his tender hands pull you closer. He gives a small smile. He caresses you cheek and states.

"Don't worry my dove, I will take care of you."

Authors Note Hey darlings this one may be shorter than the vampire one but I tried. I'm going to come up with another creature for more characters. I also created a master list where you view all my works. I'll be putting it at the end of my fanfic. Have a lovely day, dearies!
