Been meaning to do the "favorite ZZZ agent by attribute" template I've been seeing around for a good while, and decided to do it by drawing eyes because I don't get to color eyes often =w=
Guess the Agent~ 🤭 (damn I like more red-eyed agents than I though--)
* technically Pyrois is agender but there are no other male Ether agents soooo... but I do really like them, also I play as Wise so it counts in my book LOL

Also special mentions go to Hugo, Trigger, Cissia (only for her personality), Banyue, Ben, Lucia, Pan, Yuzuha and Alice.
Ellen & Corrin arriving to their S/O’s place for work, but they’ve yet to tell them WHERE they work. Just imagine that awkward moment where they open the door and lock eyes.
(ZZZ) Ellen, Corin, and Rina arriving to their S/O's house for work
Slightly adjusting for Corin since I wasn't particularly sure how to write the fact you wouldn't know she works at Victoria, considering.
Rina is just here to kill you with her cooking.
Ellen sighed as she approached your house's door.
"...How the heck am I going to explain this?"
You and Ellen had been going out for quite some time. You were aware that she had a job outside of school, but never pressed her on it. Normally, she'd be grateful that you trusted her that much, but now that trust was going to be very awkward to explain around.
Especially since you opened the door, and the two of you just stared at each other.
Ellen blinked. And then you did.
"...E-Ell-?!"
"Just-" Ellen immediately silenced you with a finger to your lips, with her sighing. "Let me explain."
...
"Jeez, no wonder you're always tired." You commented, pouring her a glass of water. "Hah, well I guess that means my little garden will be in good hands!"
You had originally hired a maid from Victoria to tend to your garden, since you rarely had time to do it yourself. Little did you know that Ellen of all people worked for that company. Let alone had a job as a maid, knowing her.
"Mhm," Ellen quietly hummed. "Well, at least I know the client won't be a jerk either-" She suddenly stopped, her eyes going slightly wide. As if an idea popped into her head.
"...Do you think I can take a nap here?"
You paused only for a moment before chuckling, grabbing a pillow from the couch for her.
"Work hard at relaxing, Ellen.~"
She immediately kicks her feet up, stretching as her tail moved to a more comfortable position. The smile she gave you was one of relief and genuine thanks.
"Getting paid to relax, now this is a job I don't mind."
'...You will get to my garden, right?' Though you were teasing her, it was a genuine question. You did pay for the service after all.
"Can I take a nap first?"
"...Yeah, alright." You sighed in defeat, but still kept your smile. To that, Ellen smiled and pecked you on the cheek.
"You're the best," Ellen calmly states before resting her head on your lap.
Corin shifted over to the door and sighed. She was so nervous about this particular job. It wasn't just because of the fact it was for domestic chores, it was because she recognized the address.
It was your address. She was so afraid that she'd do something wrong, or weird you out!
And when your door opened, she let out a little squeak of surprise.
"Hey, Corin!" You were a little surprised to see her standing outside. "...Huh, I guess it makes sense they'd send you."
"I-I'm sorry! You were probably wanting someone more relia-" Before she could start on her panicked tangent, you immediately shook your head and smiled.
"No! If anything, I'm glad it's you!"
"R-Really...?"
"Really! You've always helped my place stay spotless, I'm glad I can pay you for a job well done now!"
Her hands fidgeted before she cautiously walked in. This had been far from the first time she's stayed here, but now it seemed a little daunting since it was for work.
You motioned for her to take a seat first, with her meekly sitting next to you.
"We can clean up the place a little later. For now, how about we relax?"
"Is it alright for me to do so? I need to be working!"
"It's just me, Corin! I don't think there's anything wrong with us being able to spend a bit of time before work begins!"
You offered her a soda, to which she grabbed it with both hands and finally smiled, beginning to relax a little.
"I-If you don't mind then...I'd like that too!"
And before Corin began to make your home spotless with you assisting as much as you could, you were able to spend some extra quality time with her, getting her to calm down and be a bit more confident in herself.
"Hello, dear.~" Rina smiled at the sight of you opening the door, laughing at your surprise.
"Rina? What the heck are you doing here?! I thought you were at work!"
Rina waits for you to move to the side, gracefully entering your door and politely gazing around the living room, her two Bangboo hovering above her shoulders, watching as well.
"I am. Your request came into Victoria Housekeeping, and so, I was chosen to assist!" She looked around the room for a moment, her eyes only slightly narrowing. "From what I recall, you needed assistance in...cleaning? From the looks of things your home is still spotless."
You coughed awkwardly into your hand, trying to mask it to make it sound more natural. You had hoped to be discreet but...there was no beating around the bush.
Rina was always so loving with you, and you didn't have the heart to try and hide it.
"It's...the kitchen." Your admittance made her perk up, turning around. "I tried cleaning the best I could, but nothing I tried work for a few days."
You quickly explained to her that your attempts at cooking had caused a cascade of dishes to stack up in almost a comical manner, with how sloppy your cleanup was. At this rate, it was easier to hire some help rather than attempt it yourself.
You were also hoping to not bother Rina with something so trivial, but she just giggled at that.
"Well, I am quite glad of the fact we can spend a little more time together." She began moving to the kitchen, taking note of the stacks of pans and plates near the sink. "We can be rid of this mess in no time, (Y/N)!"
"Got it, then lemme help you with-" Before you could move closer, she gently tapped your nose, smiling.
"It would not do for a maid to allow her master to do the cleaning as well! Please, relax." Seeing your hesitance made her expression soften, brushing some strands of hair away from your face. Her touch lingered as she gave you a fonder smile. "You do quite a lot for me, you know! It's time I return your kindness."
"Alright. Then, I'll at least sit nearby."
"I'd love nothing more.~"
You and Rina spent quite a bit of time chatting away about how work was going, how the others were, and more importantly, what you two would do on your next days off. Once she had finished with the kitchen and making it spotless in no time, now came the dreaded part you were worrying about this entire time.
"Oh! Now that I've finished up, how about I make you something?"
"A-Ah, I'm okay for now!" You frantically waved your hands, hoping to deter her. "I'd hate to make you do more work than necessary-"
"Is it work, making something for the person I love?" Her question was so innocent. Honestly, with the way her tone was, it vaguely sounded like a threat, but you knew better.
You also knew better than to directly eat whatever she made, but you'd rather the cooking kill you than see her sad, especially because of how enthusiastic she was to make anything for you.
And so, you resigned yourself to your fate...WAIT.
"How about we bake together? I've been really wanting to do it with you!"
You saw a gleam in her eyes, her hands resting over her chest.
"That sounds lovely. Shall I fetch the ingredients?"
YOUR CHANCE!
"REEDER!" Your Bangboo popped its head out, waving hello to Rina and her Bangboos before hopping over to you. Your eyes frantically darted from Rina as you knelt down to speak. "Can you please grab me the recipe I wanted to make for her?"
You had prepared this protocol just in case. Reed-R would grab an emergency stash of cookie ingredients you had tucked away in the pantry, should Rina ever try to cook for you. Usually, you had always managed to convince her you weren't hungry, or you had dinner made already for you two. With this she surely wouldn't accidentally assasinate you, right?
Time to give characters of my recent hyperfixation teams of Pokémon. This time, it's all currently playable (minus Miyabi) agents of Hoyoverse's Zenless Zone Zero. Hope you guys like the teams I gave them. I plan to make a Part 2 when more characters release like Lighter and Harumasa.
P.S.: I'm considering making posts on Bluesky as well as on here so if I decide to make a Bluesky account, I'll link to it in a future post.
