🔥 pretend one of his guild mates asked bc you know he's not v interested in this stuff

Send “🔥?” and my muse will admit whether they find your muse attractive or not.

Maybe he should rethink going drinking with Judy and Raven, because their timing is downright deadly. He had choked on his drink, sputtering and wheezing the second they had begun to suggest that Zelos' interest in the other man was more than... platonic. A few rough pats on his back from the old man and he had recovered from his near death experience and wasted no time in staring at the both of them like they had just undergone a horrible mutation.

When they continued to look back at him, awaiting an answer, Zelos began to flail.

"C-C'mon, you know Judy is more my type!" Where had that even come from? It's not like he was subtle about it when he liked someone; they could just ask Sheena about how annoyingly obvious he was about it all. And anyway, it was also common fact that settling down wasn't in the cards anytime soon for him, not with the way he shamelessly flirts with all the girls. Just because that had become less common lately (ever since meeting Yuri it's been on the decline actually, but who's counting? Just a funny coincidence!) doesn't mean anything! And much to his chagrin, it's not like being a womanizer is the only thing going on in his life.

You know, he had expected something like this from Judith. She had never been one to shy away from such subjects; she was comfy in her body (and others probably) and was not afraid to use her looks for her gain. But Raven? Why was Raven going along with it? Him and Raven were like kindred spirits! Lovers of ladies! Cherishers of chests! You can't lay your head on a flat chest and be comfy! Yuri, with all that muscle, would be like sleeping on a rock! Not that he would let anyone do that in the first place, right? Nah.

Zelos' fingers had begun to drum along the counter nervously, his imagination getting the better of him for a moment and bringing a faint tinge of red to his cheeks. A raised brow from Raven had him snapping defensively (which did not help his cause). "Don't you say a damn thing old fart, it's the alcohol, okay?!"

If he were not so skilled at ignoring his feelings, Zelos would have acknowledged that somewhere deep down, he knew he didn't even believe his own lie.

'It is a shame that he couldn't join us tonight, isn't it Zelos? I can't help but notice you always seem more relaxed when he's around.'

Judith's observation made him pause. That... might be true. Yuri just had that air about him. He wasn't uptight or anything and had a good sense of humor. Titles and such don't mean a thing so there was no need to pretend to be the great Chosen around him. Not that he felt the need to put a mask on around these two either, but habits can be hard to break. It just felt... a little more effortless to go without the charade with Yuri.

His leg had begun to bounce on the spot as he glanced away, trying to hide himself underneath his hair. The hell do they know? Look, Yuri was a great guy, he could admit that. He was witty, strong and surprisingly kind without being overbearing. And you know what? Yeah, he'd even dare say the guy was handsome, for a guy. The bar isn't exactly that high (himself excluded naturally) when you focus on that category. But he was also a fighting maniac! Honestly, the way his eyes seem to sparkle when he gets into a friendly fight is just-

Judy leaned in to say something to Raven, Zelos' attention sufficiently elsewhere to completely miss what had been said. If he had seen the grin on the old man's face, he may have been lucky enough to see the signs and slip away with some of his dignity intact. Instead, the call of Yuri's name in surprised greeting had him jumping out of his skin and frantically whipping his head around to see the man in question.

'Oops, my mistake~.'

Nails raked across the wooden surface hard enough to cause the material to faintly curl in their wake. The daggers he glared back at Raven could have been lethal and the corner of his lip twitched as he suppressed a sneer. Zelos took a breath to calm himself, finally recognizing that his reaction was very unlike his usual self. They've had their fun at his expense, but no more-

Raven opened his mouth to say something.

Oh no, not again. Zelos roughly stood up from his seat. "Sorry, but I just remembered something I need to take care of. Important Chosen stuff, you know how it is! I'll get the tab next time to make up for it!"

Yes, surely his timely rush out the door of the bar was absolutely not incriminating evidence that even so much as implied he may have the slightest hint of attraction towards one Yuri Lowell. That knowing smile on their faces was just their understanding of his position and how important whatever it was that needed to be done really was and not some smug joy in already knowing the answer.

Zelos just likes spending time with Yuri. That's all. Zelos just appreciates that Yuri has good genetics. That's all. Zelos just likes Yuri as a good friend. That's all.

That funny, fluttering feeling in his chest was just exhaustion catching up to him. Yeah. That's all that is. That's all it can be.

honestly my original thought for yuri in genshin impact was geo, granted in many mobile games he debuts in, he has the earth element and is built like a tank physically, and also in martial arts is a living wall of speed and durability, highly likely someone else will tire out before he does. the man has no powers or abilities gifted to him, and yet is a one hundred man army and geo kinda shows that a lot, especially with zhongli.

however with hydro, a lot of the characters seem to have a 'cause' and a sense of devotion or purpose in their actions, be it furthering themselves or in yuri's case, it would be as ever, for the people. and with fontaine coming with the hydro archon and yuri who actually practices actual, genuine, authentic, impartial justice, without personal attachment, borne from, a desire to protect others and and realistically do whatever he can to those suffering in front of them, realistic heroism, basically, he embodies justice far more than even a god probably will from what i've seen from focalors but like most genshin updates we don't get the full picture so i'm sure she'll hopefully (?) surprise us.

yuri will likely be hydro, and he likely is a wandering warrior with quite a reputation in terms of unmatched battle prowess. probably travels with friends or strangers then is on his way again but originates from mondstadt, and started out there as a knight, but felt he could be more active globally and set out for teyvat.

i think he'll probably have an arc in fontaine , but yeah, as a man who literally embodies justice or in the simplest terms, ' the right thing ' even when the right thing is impossibly hard to bear or do, or even if it isn't PRETTY to look at . . . he'll actually lose his cool composure and be furious if he ever met focalors much less witnesses once again, oppression and an evil establishment / nation.

you know what is funny to me . when people think that kindness and love are about ”keeping the peace” when in reality kindness and love are quite literally my driving force and are the root cause of my rage . I’m so angry because i care so much and i want everyone to be happy and healthy and comfortable and I HATE when people are mistreated . my kindness and love doesn’t always allow me to keep the peace.

Arms loop around his shoulders as he almost stands on the tips of his toes to give him a kiss. He gives a brief snicker as if he had successfully pulled a trick on Yuri for once in his life.

And his grin makes it obvious he is quite happy about it too.

while there is an element of surprise, it might not be in the way zelos expects. for a master swordsman, of battle, be it sparring or for the climatic battle for a planet itself, the cries of the people, yuri's senses were always up.

there were times he did sleep against the wall, didn't he ? if simply to listen for subtle threats; whispers, sensations in root of his heels beneath hard leather covering the flesh.

the surprise is in the act of being given affection at all.

while he could sense very subtle footsteps; something only one highly skilled and honed to such things could, they otherwise would be sorely missed. is it truly a trick so much physically as it is a trick in the sense of a faint wall lowering to give way to a startled heart?

yuri lowell doesn't ask for anything.

not really. he'd joke about food he wanted or gald 'i deserved for that pain in the neck job' or that 'punk kid i was training' but . . . he was always smiling. ever so bemusedly; ever toeing the line between grin and smirk, each bright, almost blinding.

it's the shock of being given something he hadn't realized was....actually welcome. that he would have, after months upon months and even a year and a half perhaps, never imagined.

that this rabbit hurtling in fear of everything behind honeyed words and wide blue eyes would look at him and see that the 'big bad wolf' was not bad at all.

that his dreams had changed from rows of fangs around the rabbit's throat to a gentle grip lifting the rabbit to safer fields, ever under those gentle, softened jaws.

yuri lowell doesn't ask for anything.

but he lets himself sink a broad back against his chest; a gloved, calloused hand closing softly around one warm touch of skin and arm around his waist. a subtle, faint squeeze as his fingers like spider's legs travel down his arm; until closing around their wrist and lightly tapping each knuckle, one, by one. an action of tenderness. an action and indicator of a love that would not let him keep the false peace.

yuri lowell doesn't ask for anything;

.. as his lips close around his mouth; as his other hand slowly dips into the familiar fire-red curls of zelos' hair, the other slipping around his waist and pulling him into his chest; he lets himself metaphorically exhale, just once. working on bettering the world in realistic ways for other's good could wait in the morning.

but in this hour between dawn and dusk, he'll lower his sword and his arms and his world-bearing shoulders and softly murmur, albeit huskily:

" hi. "

" parents having kids, huh. well, not stuff i'm mentioning in front of captain karol. " not that an orphaned boy from the slums would know a thing about parents. much less families. he had a concept, sure, brave vesperia he could recognize at least privately in his heart, as what qualified as 'family' as much as the lower quarter in zaphias did.

but . . . damn, it really took twenty two years for that? hah, and he thought he was sharp.....he couldn't even imagine what his mother and father's face looked like. if they had ever existed at all.

" .... i don't think people should commit to stuff that serious if they're gonna jump off the wagon, they're not just toys to show off. those are lives. it's a pretty shitty thing to do. there are bad adults, but kids? they trust you in the beginning, until it sets in what you did to them. " subtle, no implications of how many fellow starving orphans he's seen in his lifetime. it's oddly subdued for someone as headstrong as yuri.

" i think that's a whole other kinda evil. "
