        “Even while bloodied and bruised, love?” Childe hummed, tilting Eichi’s head up with a smile, “You know I’m more wild than free, but whatever words you wish to describe me, I’ll allow~” His smile only grew the more he looked at the other, moving to rest his forehead against Eichi’s and just...relax.     Not worry about the Fatui or anything even if his instincts told him to go out and ravage whatever enemies he could find and leave them destroyed....

      “And you~? How beautiful you look despite never truly seeing the battlefield, even if you’d look gorgeous covered in blood, hm~?” Childe laughed to himself and kissed his head, “Absolutely breathtaking~”

@walkinstars​ asked: i gently suggest to u... and hear me out...❤️(romantic ship) hiiro/josuke, aira/okuyasu, hiyori/mista... 💔(slow burn) himeru/abbacchio... and ofc 💛(platonic ship) madara & mista...

@henshyne​ asked: and over here... i am politely asking ❤️ bruno/abbacchio... (accepting)

oh man there’s so much good shit here,,, hiiro/josuke fools with hearts of gold that can and will beat the problems away, especially if it’s for their friends... also josuke helping teach hiiro as much as he can about adjusting to city life is simply a given, but josuke also being perhaps surprisingly interested in what life was like back in hiiro’s village. not without blatant hate for the way hiiro was treated there ofc but. perhaps he’d just like to know everything about the kind of life hiiro comes from... also josuke isn’t all that versed in idols or anything but he would absolutely vibe to alkaloid music, i think. rock vibes... and also going to like every alkaloid live he can and bordering on being that Annoying Fan but it’s okay he just loves his boyfriend and supports him!!

and if josuke borders on being the annoying fan at lives to support his bf, okuyasu goes way beyond. probably to aira’s embarrassment but! okuyasu is just an enthusiastic foolish puppy. like a golden retriever except... considerably less brain cells SDGKDHK also he’d get super into idols because of aira, to a point that he does enough research (some of it being simply by listening to aira’s adorable geek talk) and becomes basically a mini aira. mini in the sense that his idol knowledge isn’t nearly as vast, of course, but he’d still put most everyone else to shame. hyperfixation?? maybe!! but out of love and support!! also okuyasu is basically the scary attack dog. can and will literally erase you if you fuck with aira. but also could hold him gently in one hand.... cute....

hiyori and mista has my full attention too bc i think they probably keep each other on their toes, at least at first, and not in a bad way. mista initially struggles a bit to keep up with hiyori’s eccentricities at times (even despite his time with passione’s own eccentric types), and sometimes mista’s violent acts might catch hiyori off guard just in how casually he’ll commit them... but they’re things they both come to accept about each other. and frankly in mista’s case he’d enjoy how hiyori catches him off guard. keeps things exciting!! he’s not immune to that sunshine personality either, even if he has his doubts about how genuine it may or may not be sometimes... also scary dog privilege again bc if you so much as look at hiyori the wrong way, mista Will do something about it. maybe. if hiyori’s not looking kslfdmklfm

slowburn himeru/abbacchio too.... quiet/reserved types hiding but not so well a certain bitterness bc they lost someone so important to them and it left them jaded and nihilistic, at least more than before... and also growing past that bc of the people around them (read: crazy ass found families) and perhaps finding solace in each other along the way... oh i’m having so many thoughts and i’m just [screams into the abyss]

also mista and madara would be best friends. crime best friends who commit casual violence. ride or die but they’re not the ones dying, bc this duo is something to be feared. and also they’re both goofballs too. absolute dorks. mista might not take well to the mama bit bc he’d rather encourage madara to be real with him, considering he’s seen just about everything in his time as a gangster. would like to stress that he, to some level, Gets It and wants to support his friend as he is. all around goodness despite, you know. the pain inherent to being a couple of criminals.

as for bruno/abbacchio. i don’t even need to explain. hell yes give me the mom and dad units. these bitches gay and we love to see it.

@walkinstars​ asked: “You needed a hug.” mao to mayoi! (accepting)

mayoi isn’t sure what they expected when mao suddenly pulled them into a hug in the middle of one of their endless rambles of self-deprecation, but whatever it was, it effectively made them shut up and go tense and rigid in his arms, hands raised halfway like they meant to push him away. but they don’t― they stay right where they are, confused and mentally reeling, trying to understand. of course, they aren’t so foolish as to not know this is just a hug... but why? who would want to embrace such a foul creature as themself?

they must speak their thoughts aloud, because mao answers them easily. they needed a hug...? mayoi admits, they like the hug (when has anyone ever embraced them like this? has that ever happened?), but... do they need it? do they deserve it? surely it’s still unbearably disgusting, holding them like this, even if mao chose such action for himself―

but they don’t want it to end. so those previously frozen half-raised arms move again, just to settle (awkwardly and uncertainly) around mao’s waist. a few moments later, their head gently rests atop his with a soft sigh, eyes fluttering shut.

❝...can we stay like this for a while, then?❞ a soft inquiry, barely above a whisper, but it’s there. with it, underlining it, is just a hint of desperation― for once, they just feel so good, so peaceful, and they are loathe to let it go so soon. surely they can afford to stay like this for a little while, right...? of course, if he objects, mayoi wouldn’t put up a fight. but they hope to whatever higher beings may be out there that they can just indulge, just this once, for once in their life.

@walkinstars​ // Mao for Atsushi!

            “A break....I need a break...!” Breathing heavily, Atsushi held up their hand with an amused laugh following, just looking up at him from the ground- Gorou’s orders to train and get better after all they had to be ready for anything, especially if the raiden shogun’s army decided to strike again....

     “You know- you’re doing great...if you’re able to knock me flat on my ass!”

[heartthrummed-a]

@walkinstars​ (mao) asked: “How’d you get here?” (accepting)

sheepishly, mayoi averts their gaze, cheeks flushed a faint red as they press their fingertips together awkwardly. ❝w-well, those secret passages do span all across ES, so it wasn’t really hard at all to follow you...❞ they murmur in response. a moment later, though, it dawns on them that such a statement could come across the wrong way (again), and not wanting to create some misunderstanding that could push away someone dear (again), mayoi becomes frantic, turning back to mao and waving their hands all about as if they could literally clear the air of such misunderstanding. ❝b-b-but that’s not to say i was trying to stalk you or anything! i would never, you know? i-i mean, i’m pretty despicable, but i wouldn’t sink that low! n-not to mention, i myself am incredibly busy trying to keep up with the rest of alkaloid, so i would never really have the time to spare to stalk someone like that―❞

oh heavens, they’re just making it even worse now, aren’t they? rambling so much and potentially painting an even worse picture... why is it so hard, just trying to communicate with people? granted, mao is rather understanding, not to mention they’re incredibly patient with mayoi... yet it still feels like a daunting task, trying to communicate their thoughts to even them. perhaps mayoi really hasn’t made as much progress as they’d hoped...

still, they force themself to a stop, heaving a sigh before slowing down and trying to proceed calmly. in doing so, they take a tentative seat beside mao with their knees hugged to their chest, studying the other with perhaps the most concern they’d ever shown anyone in their life.

❝...you seemed stressed out when i saw you earlier today, like something was heavy on your mind or something. but i didn’t get a chance to talk to you since your little student council friends required your attention for one thing or another, and i had to attend practice with my unit... so i was worried about you all day. so when there was finally time, i figured i could try to find you and check on you.❞ again they avert their gaze, an awkward little laugh escaping them as they rub the back of their neck. ❝problem is, i still can’t handle crowds well, and i don’t really like attracting attention... so i used the secret passages to approach instead, so i wouldn’t have to deal with everyone else along the way. but i guess i forgot it might be a little frightening for someone to come seemingly out of nowhere... ahhh, i hope you can forgive me, mao-kun~ i didn’t mean to be such a creep, i just wanted to check on you...❞

pausing, mayoi turns their gaze back to mao, and notes that they do seem better. but is it rude of them to say they don’t believe it? so many people here try to shoulder such heavy burdens, after all, and mask it with indifference, carrying on with a smile like the weight isn’t crushing them like a bug. but as far as mayoi is concerned, they’re the only bug deserving of such an end. not any of these other idols around them, and most certainly not mao. how do they tell them that, though? what part of mayoi seems even remotely dependable enough to be counted on to ease their burdens? after all, no matter how much they want to help, they remain as useless as ever― certainly even to mao, right?

...but why should they let that stop them? everyone else is breaking free of the chains holding them down, one way or another― shouldn’t they do the same, then? 

it’s with that in mind that mayoi, albeit timidly, moves to rest a gloved hand over mao’s, and even offers a gentle smile as they face them again.

❝...i know i’m not much, but if there’s one thing i’m good at, it’s listening. so... if anything is bothering you, you can tell me about it, you know? and i would never tell another soul, even if they tortured me for it~! though, i would never make you... but as long as you know that i’ll listen when you need it, that’s enough for me. i just like seeing you properly happy, after all― mao-kun just has the most charming smile when everything is alright~❞

@walkinstars​ (mona) asked: “Are you okay?!” (accepting)

today definitely wasn’t the worst arashi had ever faced, but it wasn’t the greatest either. mostly because of the ruin guards that awoke while she and ritsu were out on their assignment to apprehend a group of treasure hoarders in the area. all because said treasure hoarders (familiar faces from her own time among them, arashi had noted with some small amount of satisfaction before everything went downhill) had the bright idea of running straight through a cave of the abandoned automatons to try and lose the knights. which, when the damn things awoke (three of them, no less), meant that she and ritsu had to not only destroy the ruin guards, but try and protect the very criminals they were sent to apprehend.

they’re knights, after all, and though they’re criminals, these treasure hoarders are still citizens of mondstadt. they can’t very well let them die. 

at first, though, it had gone well. arashi had been able to use her geo shields to simultaneously contain and protect the treasure hoarders, and then joined ritsu in fighting back against the ruin guards. one went down easily enough when she was able to thrust her polearm through its eye (which took some time and wearing down the damn thing, but eventually it worked), but when she turned to ritsu just to make sure they were holding up, it all went downhill. she’d taken her eyes off the third a little too long when she saw ritsu struggling against the second, trying to shout for him and move to help him when, instead, the third came swinging and smacked her right into the cave wall instead. there was first a sick crunch in her arm when she hit said wall, and when she hit the ground a moment later, pain exploded in her temple before she felt nothing at all.

she’s not sure what happened after that, but since she awoke on ritsu’s back on the way back to the city, she guesses she blacked out. and since their targets were nowhere to be seen, she guesses, too, that her geo shield came down and allowed them to get away when she did get knocked out.

how unfortunate.

arashi only realizes how bloodied she is, however, when she finally lifts her head from her companion’s shoulder and realizes how stained his clothes and skin have become. perhaps she made some startled noise, too, for he looks back at her with a raised brow, then glances down to his shoulder before shrugging and explaining that she’d hit her head pretty hard and had been bleeding pretty heavily. at least the bleeding stopped, he tells her, but i didn’t have anything to clean you up with, so we’ll get that taken care of when we get back home. which suits her just fine, but she does end up hiding her face back in the crook of his neck as he continued to carry her the rest of the way. partly because she was tired and woozy, but mostly because she didn’t want anyone to see her in such a state, lest they fret over why she’s so bloody and why her left arm is twisted so unnaturally where it hangs over the vampire knight’s shoulder.

clearly, though, luck is still not on her side. not long after they enter the city gates, though it’s certainly some ungodly hour when everyone should be asleep, she raises her head just in time to see mona dashing toward the pair, as if she’d been waiting for them.

...was she? maybe that’s not surprising― they were supposed to return much earlier, and she did promise she’d see mona that night when she came back, so it stands to reason that the astrologist might have gotten worried and waited for her. or did she know something bad was to happen? do her abilities allow her to predict misfortune? arashi isn’t sure― all she knows right now is that she’s rather embarrassed to be seen like this, to be fretted over the way mona is, and to cause so much concern.

❝i’m fine, i’m fine,❞ she mumbles as she tries to offer a reassuring smile, reaching to take one of mona’s hands into her own. ❝just had some... unexpected appearances on our assignment today. hit my head a bit, but i’ll be fine, i promise. if anything, you should thank ritsu-chan here for making sure i didn’t end up worse.❞ or dead, she thinks, but chooses not to say it aloud lest mona grow even more upset.

❝i just need to go get cleaned up, that’s all. and, well, a bit of healing too, but still. i’ll be fine, sweetheart, i promise. don’t you worry about a thing~❞
