Hi! A bit shy cause I've never sent an ask to an x reader blog before.
Could I get something where the reader (top-y male like in your bio) is physically shorter in height than their partner and gets (lightheartedly) teased for it? I've been having some dysphoria and my 5'4" needs it (ToT)
If it helps my favorite characters are Diluc and Neuvillette. Obviously no pressure!
Diluc x Short M!Reader
short!malereader x Diluc;
Okay, I definitely made it spicier than you requested, sorry but I just couldn't help myself (vibe was vibing in this peculiar idea). It just happened...
But at the end, you also get some sweet dessert
Ah, and never feel shy to send me a req, I'm really chill. And thx a lot for it!
I chose Diluc since I already know him (unfortunately, I stopped playing Genshin before Fontaine). But in the future, I'll definitely have to read a little about Neuvillette because his look alone is already op, so his personality/storyline for sure is too
For all my short kings:
Your beginnings weren't the easiest.
Before your open flirting stage began, Diluc used to walk around in subtle heels. You obviously noticed it. You were just a simple man. When you took a liking to Diluc, it wasn't just his character that charmed you. You couldn't erase his entire appearance from your memory. And it wasn't just about his body alone. It was also about how he moved and what distinctive outfits he wore.
Over time however, as your mutual courtship began, Diluc hid all his taller shoes in a closet and replaced them with the ones that were as flat as possible.
He was naturally a head taller than you, so he figured that he didn't need to emphasize that fact any further. He knew how fragile male egos can get. Height was a sensitive issue for most of them. So crucial that they often didn't even want to hear about it, especially when it came to looking for a partner.
Of course you saw it. Right away. But you didn't have the courage to acknowledge it out loud. Maybe he himself was bothered by the difference between you? Maybe he was just "sacrificing" himself for the sake of your relationship? Trying to ignore it because, after all, your other advantages surpassed this small "flaw"?
You tried not to think about it. You didn't want to be insecure about your height. You shouldn't have been. It wasn't your flaw. It was more of an advantage. And situations on a battlefield were the best proof of that. So you didn't plan on losing your confidence over something you hadn't even confirmed. After all, you could have just been imagining it... right?
Phew... right! Fortunately, your first assumptions were wrong.
And you found out about it when you accidentally overheard a conversation in a bar... It turned out that Diluc personally had nothing against your height. In contrast he found it rather charming.
It happened when you were leaving storeroom with box of fresh wine. Men were sitting at the round table in an empty tavern. Diluc was supposed to clean up but two completely wasted drunkards found a way to get him to join them. It was strange. Not only did Diluc not drink, he also didn't like his brother - one of drinkers. Despite this, they were caught up in eager conversation. You smiled at this sight touched and discreetly listened in. They were too busy in their own world to notice that you had returned.
But imagine your surprise when you happened to hear your boyfriend firmly denying Kaeya and Venti teasing when they asked if your height difference bothered him.
After this situation and after learning more about your boundaries, you decided on a special gift for your anniversary.
You were sitting together on his bed when you handed him a black box wrapped in a red satin ribbon.
Diluc opened his mouth slightly in shock and without taking his eyes off the gift, hesitantly took it from you. He didn't often receive things from others. Not since his father died. He didn't like gifts. He associated them with an empty desire to bribe someone with money. Rarely did anyone actually prepare them by heart.
That's why he forbade everyone from giving him anything. He even stopped celebrating his birthday. Forgot date and made sure that others didn't remember them too or didn't know it at all.
But he couldn't refuse you, could he? Especially when you wanted to celebrate first year since meeting him.
Diluc gently ran his fingers over a fabric pleasant to the touch. He didn't dare to do anything else.
-Open it
You encouraged him. And he nodded, delighted by the mere gesture of receiving a gift for the first time in his life. He pulled on one of ends. Bow immediately let loose and fell to the ground. Small sparks lit up in man's eyes. And you really couldn't wait any longer, sitting still with a great struggle.
Diluc hesitantly lifted the lid and peeked at what was hidden under the black protective paper. It took him by surprise. Long ankle boots, on a thick blocks, with heel rather really high for him... Diluc swallowed hard.
His reaction scared you a little.
For a moment, you got unsure... Maybe it was a bad idea after all? Maybe you should start by encouraging him to dig out some old models from a closet instead of throwing him in a deep sea right away? Maybe it was too much?
All your doubts vanished however when you saw this gorgeous pink that crept onto your boyfriend's cheeks.
-Should I put them on?
He asked still uncertain. Not wanting to reveal his enthusiasm. Especially because he was afraid he might misread your signals.
You nodded your head vigorously. Maybe a little too quickly and too strongly...
-Could you help me? - he managed to gather his courage for a second.
-With pleasure! - you assured him already overly excited.
Man probably didn't expect your reaction. Your loud voice even frightened him a little. You were naturally a cheerful and positive person. With much more energy than him. But you didn't have such bursts of happiness every day. Like a child who finally received a desired candy.
In the future he would probably giggle with amusement. But for now... it all was so new to him.
You knelt down almost immediately and eventually he had to snort at least at that.
But that was good, it meant he was slowly beginning to relax.
You grabbed a box, wanting to put it on a ground.
Your fingertips brushed against each other for a millisecond. You gave him a warm smile and went back to work.
Carefully pulled out one shoe. Tugged the zipper which made an almost exciting sound. Pulled back the fabric. And placed shoe in proper position. Gently slipping it onto your beloved's foot. You treated him like a divinity. As if you were placing gifts in a shrine before a statue that radiated celestial light. Your eyes stared at Diluc like hypnotized. You swear that at that moment you could have done anything for him. Intimidated Diluc adjusted a strand of his hair, tucking it behind his ear. He behaved with no less grace than you.
And when he finally stood up...
Oh shit.
He looked so hot-
He definitely gained a few extra inches.
He shifted uneasily from one foot to another. It was difficult for him to gather the courage to stand up straight. It was so unusual for him... He wasn't very skilful. But he didn't wobble either. His movements were confident. As if, despite everything, he was made for it.
Finally, he pushed his chest forward with pride. High boots made his legs look longer. More slimmer. Oh, how you would love for them to wrap around you...
If anyone asked, yes. You loved it when your partner was taller than you.
It turned you on so much. Vision of being able to dominate someone like that... Someone with such a physique.
Person who normally looked down on others, you could easily bend in half. Making him feel so tiny...
Taller people were also naturally heavier. Even though Diluc looked thinner than you and had less muscles, you could still feel the difference in weight between you. And you were so proud of yourself for being able to handle it. You and no one else. His pleasant weight that pinned you down to bed when he sat on top of you. Or when you held him against the wall and he wrapped his legs around your hips-... Diluc enjoyed opportunity to levitate thanks to his strong partner. And it stroked your ego a lot.
This high giant, whom garlands of admirers sighed over, acted submissive towards you. Silly ladies naively assumed that someone as tall as him would take control in relationship. Cover his woman with his body-
And maybe he did. But not his woman, his man. And not in order to manhandle, but to seek your warmth and bring you closer to his chest...
You took such great satisfaction in being able to break this stereotype. Someone so strong, so tall, losing to you in wrestling match without even trying to fight...
You were standing with Knights of Favonius in a circle inside Jean's office, trying to resolve some crisis situation. When an unexpected guest decided to join you and honor you with his support despite his significant reluctance. Only at your request.
When he crossed the threshold others looked at him with astonishment. After all, he always declined-... Even though he had extraordinary abilities and was often the missing piece of a puzzle, he was unwilling to cooperate with them.
They weren't sure where this sudden surge of pity for them had come from. So they immediately returned to their discussion, trying to "ignore" his arrival in order to not scare him away.
Diluc approached you with a heavenly click of his heels. He just nodded his head as usual and tried to pretend he was listening. Or, on the contrary, to pretend he wasn't. Putting on a mask of indifference, just to offer a brilliant solution or himself for the task at the end.
Yet he didn't forget an important detail. A habit that always activated in him when you stood next to each other for a long time. He rested his bent arm on your shoulder, using you as a support.
-Do you want to do the same? I'm afraid it might be difficult to find someone shorter than you - he smiled maliciously.
-But we can always go to the kindergarten. Klee will surely be happy if we offer to pick her up - he added, beginning to speculate.
If you hadn't known him, you might have fallen for his acting and believed that he was really considering it.
Still you had to repay him somehow for his jokes. That's why you offered him a good kick under his ribs.
Diluc hissed quietly in pain.
He immediately stopped leaning on you and grabbed the spot where he had been hit. Although it didn't hurt as much as it could have, especially since he had been trained to have above-average endurance, he still began to rub this place vigorously.
-Good thing you can reach it- he commented with a small charming smile.
Good that he didn't lose his humor despite the painful consequences.
-Oh, believe me sweetheart- you confidently grabbed his hand and gave a warm kiss on his knuckles- I can reach everything I need
You placed his palm on left side of his chest and he flushed in that familiar way. Similar to the color of a grape juice.
It was hot. Very hot. One of the hottest days of a year. And instead of listening to heat warnings and staying home, you were standing in line for an ice creams.
It was your first day off together in a long while. You had been planning this date for quite some time. And you definitely didn't want to spend it at home. Although the idea of hiding from the scorching sun was very tempting...
That's why you both decided to come back from an amusement park early. Or at least that's what you decided, worried about your partner, who, as usual, was wearing too many layers of clothing. And dark colors at the same time... It's good that he at least decided to take off his jacket. Not gonna lie. You didn't expect to be aiming at colorful ducks one moment and turning to see your beloved's biceps next. But life could be unpredictable.
Just like now. As you can see, you weren't the only ones who couldn't pass up an ice cream stand. A crowd of other people, also not overly intelligent, had similar ambitions.
You grimaced slightly and began waving the flyer more vigorously. You couldn't turn back now. Especially not after Diluc's eyes lit up at the sight of a huge ice cream dessert held by a little girl. So you bravely took your place in line while Diluc went to use a bathroom.
-Oh thanks the Archon! I was afraid I'd lost you in the crowd
You turned around and gave your breathless boyfriend a meaningful look.
Did he just-...?
-Oh, I'm so sorry that I didn't drink the entire milk factory like you when I was little
Diluc blushed slightly. Intimidated, he lowered his head and chuckled quietly under his nose.
You had a point.
While he was turning into an embarrassed pile of misery, you had already moved on to your new goals. Overcame the distance between you both and leaned lightly against his chest with your arms crossed. Trying to not put your weight on him, but at the same time hide under a cover of his posture.
-Come on, big guy. Be useful and give me some shade
-How's the weather down there?- your beloved asked amused.
And you muttered something under your nose displeased.
-At least when it rains, I won't be the first one to get wet
You gazed up at Diluc with a look of faked offense. Oblivious, he tilted his head to the side. That wasn't your usual response. And not in that tone... Were you having a bad day?
As he worried about your condition, you launched your attack.
Raised your hand and began to tickle him mercilessly. Knocked off balance Diluc bent over and bit his lip trying to stifle his laughter.
You took advantage of this moment and firmly placed your hand on his neck. Brought his face closer to yours and stole a long passionate kiss.
-So, how do you like my weather, sweetheart?
You smiled playfully. Embarrassed Diluc tried to push you away. Yet a touch on your chest felt more like a soft tap of rabbit's paw than a punch of grown man. Bartender just tried to keep his face in any way he could. This time, he tried to pretend to be offended. Only to forgive you later after you took him for a sweet cream cake at a pastry shop.
-If you were a little taller, maybe you would finally see my point of view from above.
-Diluc! -you protested with amusement.
You really didn't know how to respond to that one.
You were spending Friday evening together in front of a TV. And you were arguing passionately about who the main lead should choose. Diluc leaned towards the more polite, composed one, who always cared for main lead and was ready to sacrifice everything for her good (which also meant "not standing in the way of her happiness" and letting her go - which you interpreted as giving up). A walking green flag.
You preferred the other one. As they say, the bully loves the most. Sure, maybe m/l was disappointed in him a few times... but that adrenaline rush! And he wasn't going to let go. He planned to fight for this relationship, even at the cost of everyone around him. And that's what impressed you. Besides, he looked much hotter in that leather jacket that reminded you a little of a Darknight, than that green flag in his perfectly ironed shirt. You swear you had one like that in your closet...
-Just admit that you like him! What charmed you so much, hmm? His cheekbones? Or maybe his unusual eye color?!
Diluc just shook his head at your stupidity tinged with a hint of jealousy.
Without saying a word, he placed a tray of cookies and two glasses of grape juice on a table. Instead of sitting down on a nearby couch, he headed for an armchair and took a seat on your lap. Threw his knees over an armrest and wrapped his hands around your neck, resting his cheek tiredly on top of your head.
At the pleasant weight you swallowed a lump in your throat. His touch was everywhere. His body wrapped around you like a grapevine. Diluc occupied your entire thighs, protecting your front with one arm and leaning a part of himself on your back. He covered you and warmed you no worse than a thick down blanket.
-I'm already taken - he said contentedly, trying to hide a yawn.
Your big kitten was slowly falling asleep...
-Oh really? - you smirked and licked your lips with excitement - By whom?
Diluc wrinkled his nose slightly. What was creeping in your head? Was that really a good idea? He was definitely too tired to overwork his brain...
But fine. He'll play this childish game with you.
-Ah, there is this one... - he began casually.
You started to gently run your fingers over his thigh in anticipation while he closed his eyes in pleasure.
-...maybe you know him-...
You didn't stop tracing patterns on his body. However, they slowly began to lose their shape. You were starting to get distracted.
-Yeah?
-Yeah-... - Diluc purred and snuggled closer to you.
He had already moved down to a crook of your neck. Trying to hide in it. He wasn't used to such games. But you didn't need to know that. You would have used it later to tease him.
-What is he like?
Tension growing... You waited for him to finally whisper your name so you could hear it from his lips.
-Well...
He pretended to think. Or maybe he really did? Was he choosing best feature or couldn't decide on a right words?
Finally, you heard his beautiful low though shyly soft voice. But it wasn't what you expected.
-...small but mine.
