Pantalone’s musings (1) - Genshin #1
Just a short snippet to my own personal AU and Head-cannon, gosh I adore Dottolone so much!
Pantalone had always found Dottore interesting, sure as the 2nd of the Fatui Harbingers, the Doctor had to be interesting. But that wasn’t what interested him specifically.
Dottore’s experiments were both unhinged and insane, completely uncaring for how it affects others and that had earned the ire of many of their colleagues. But there were also those soft instances as well.
He would notice how calm Dottore would become when surrounded by various avians, more specifically, ravens and crows. He would notice how Dottore would show a spark of interest in small things like food. And he would notice Dottore’s adoration for the silence.
Pantalone couldn’t ignore how beautiful Dottore would be when in such a calm and gentle state. He glanced out the large window of his office, sight locked onto Dottore, who was feeding the birds that flocked to him. He could see the slight curve of Dottore’s pale but plump lips when the birds nuzzled into him.
Pantalone was honestly grateful that his office was just by where Dottore would relax, if not for this, he would have never seen Dottore like this. He paused from his watching, his body becoming tense when he saw Dottore coughing out blood, that clear blue blood that showed that Dottore was no human.
He didn’t waste a single moment as he took his coat and made his way to the garden. “Doctor, are you alright?” He asked, hand holding onto Dottore’s shoulder.
“Regretor?” Dottore spoke under his breath, blue blood spilling from his mouth but soon wiped it away once it stopped spilling from his mouth. “I’m fine, just… tired.”
“Come.” Pantalone took Dottore’s hand. “You may rest in my office, if you do not have any urgent matters.”
Dottore lowered his head, a tad annoyed that he was getting coddled by Pantalone, this wasn’t the first time this had happened and he couldn’t refuse. Pantalone might get on Dottore’s nerves at times, but Pantalone still respected his boundaries so he let it slide.
Pantalone’s lips curved, gently pulling Dottore back to his office. Just having a bit of Dottore’s trust was enough for Pantalone, it meant he’ll gain more trust as time passes.
