So apparently I decided to write fluff after a long long time and I'm quite proud of myself for that! :)

Masterlist

Romantic Diversions

Ship: Kaider

Words: 925

Genre: Fluff

Kai's Perspective:

Dhsam!

The door was opened with a loud bang which caused Kai to stir from his work. This uninvited disturbance gave rise to subtle anger and he was ready to pounce on the individual who had decided to barge in his cabin in such a dramatic fashion.

Regardless, he didn't do any of that since the person who was standing at the door was his own wife. He smiled at her sight, expecting the generic 'Did I disturb you?' from her but she had more surprising cards up her sleeves today. Her theatrical entry just led to an even bigger bouncy voice.

"I can't believe you did that?!" she cried as she pulled a seat before him. That phrase left him more baffled than ever. Cinder wasn't the one for dramatic flair if truth be told- he was the theatre kid out of the two.

"What did I do?" he questioned, the file he was working on completely forgotten.

"Look," she said as she passed the tablet to him. Kai was really curious about what he had done that had got Cinder so excited so he looked into the screen without asking any further questions.

The screen played a video:

"Your Majesty, would you like to say anything about the lack of apprehension-" some reporter asked before being interrupted by another.

Kai was not expecting to be chased by a mass of reporters as he flew back home. Alas, he was having a press conference in the airport parking lot right now and he definitely wasn't prepared for this one.

"Goodness, is that Dr Alan Coetze I see there," he exclaimed- seeing the familiar face of the scientist who talked in a language Kai wasn't quite fluent in. Cinder used to love watching his shows and Kai had seen them from time to time too.

"My wife, the Empress is a big fan of Dr Coetze. You would have to excuse me. I need to have his autograph. My wife would be sorely disappointed if I let down this chance," he explained as he tried making his way towards his saviour.

The press seemed taken aback by his words, having a hard time believing that it was the Emperor gushing about a European scientist who had just won the Nobel Peace Prize for his thesis.

"But you are the Emperor, Your Majesty-" someone argued, trying to put sense in him.

"So what? You don't have any idea how inconsiderate intelligent people are towards royalty," he noted. His arguments made little sense but he needed an escapade and this crazily intelligent man that was standing a few yards from him was going to give him exactly that.

"Your Majesty, you don't- "

"I understand it's your work but you do have to be a little understanding about my situation too. My anniversary is getting closer and what better gift than the autograph of Dr Alan Coetze. You would have to excuse me for now. However I promise you, there will be a press conference in New Beijing and I look forward to seeing you all there."

"Oh goodness!" Kai laughed and looked up, his wife's contagious smile made him smile more.

"I can't believe you said it!" she gushed again.

"Well, I had a flight to attend and the press wasn't going anywhere. I had to make some diversions," he elaborated, passing the tablet back to her. If he knew anything, he was sure this news was everywhere by now.

"You're telling me the world's best diplomat needed a romantic diversion?"

"You're never gonna let this one go, are you?" he asked, knowing very well the answer to that question, instead he focused on signing the bottom of the page.

"That isn't going to be the problem. Next press conference everyone is going to talk about this and this only," she pointed out, forgetting to mention that she too was going to make multiple jokes at his expense.

He glanced at her, thinking how if these small diversions were what made her smile ear to ear then Kai would be likely to commit more of them every now and then.

"Nothing that a small 'I love my wife' can't suffice."

"Which reminds me - you said 'my wife' so many times throughout the entire thing."

"I have a lovely wife. You can't forbid me from bringing her up all the damn time," he said.

"Stars, I can't believe you," she continued to say, glancing back at the video before whispering, "I love my wonderful husband too."

"Shh, don't let my wife hear about this. She gets quite protective," he smirked, throwing a wink in her direction.

That made her chuckle again as she leaned over the desk to whisper in his ear, "Where's my autograph, Your Majesty?"

He tipped to stare into her brown orbs and replied, "I think I said it was an anniversary gift."

Before closing the inches between the two, he murmured, "Wait your time kitten." Cinder captured his lips with hers, her hands holding the back of his neck. One of his hands spread across her cheek, as he deepened the -

Tring! Tring!

The kiss was cut short by the comm that rang through Cinder's tablet and both of them groaned over it.

"I'd see you at dinner," Cinder said, getting up from her seat. She was almost out of the door when she looked over her shoulder and announced, "I better have an autograph."

Kai chuckled at the demand and had a delighted feeling for having met the scientist that day.

A/N: Wrote this because I have got myself fixated on this power celebrity couple and they had a fun banter on the media and I couldn't help but imagine it for Kai and Cinder. It seems a lil unrelaistic but it's mostly the modern day alteration of the royalty and media. Hope you like it! <333

All There is to Do is Wait

Fluff (Maybe a twinge if angst, like the size of an eyebrow hair, but it's barely there I promise) Words: 2k Pairing: Cinder Linh x Kai Fandom: The Lunar Chronicles Setting: Around a couple months to a year after Stars Above Warnings: None that I know of Ao3 Link :)))

Cinder’s body was awake. Every nerve, wire, and vein thrummed with energy. She couldn’t stop shaking, no matter how hard she tried. How could she after her most recent comm with Kai?

She let out a giggle, not something she did commonly. Her mind replayed Kai’s words, smile, laughs, and jokes over and over again. Each time her grin grew wider until her cheeks permanently molded into a smile. She would analyze every crinkle of an eye, every blush, every dimple, every detail of his face. It was better than caffeine. Maybe she should play their video comms to wake herself up during meetings.

The Queen of Luna had only one thing on her mind while she rested in her private quarters after a long day of meetings and documents. Her boyfriend, who happened to be the Emperor of the Eastern Commonwealth. Who also happened to be the reason she was kicking her feet in her silky, regal bedsheets and getting warnings for the rush of hormones.

Her fingers itched to call him again, her eyes longed to see his face, her ears wanted to hear his voice. She wished she could smell and touch him but she would have to wait until the next Peace Ball.

Sighing, for apparently the twenty-seventh time, Cinder adjusted into a fetal position and tried to sleep. She failed, unsurprisingly. She then sat up and fidgeted with her hands. A queen needed a healthy sleep schedule and she was already terribly behind on hers.

Her eyes latched onto her port and the temptation to call him grew exponentially bigger. One search and her brain told her it was one in the morning in the Commonwealth. Perhaps, being the insomniac, anxious, overthinker that he is, he could still be awake. But Cinder didn’t want to wake him up if he wasn’t.

Before she could dictate otherwise, her fingers rushed to start a comm with him, as if her desires took hold of her body and her mind could only sit and watch helplessly at the invasion. She did nothing, though, to stop the attack. She waited through, one, two, three rings before he picked up.

The beloved Emperor, her lover, the reason she laughs maniacally in the middle of the night, smiled back at her with shining copper eyes. Her jumble of happy feelings exploded again and she couldn't stop another giggle from bursting through her lips. Stars above, twice in the same timespan. The things this boy, her boy, made her do.

And he truly was a boy. Kai’s face lit up when he heard her laugh, like a child when he gets what he wants, “Miss me?” he teased. He loved poking fun at her. He’s a boy. Only his face, pillow, and headboard of the bed was visible. The only light seemed to come from the port, like hers.

“Why are you still up? Don’t you have important things to do tomorrow?” She pretended to be concerned (and truly she was for his lack of sleeping but she was selfishly grateful that he was up talking to her.)

“I could ask the same thing. Besides, I have to do important stuff every day.” He shifted his phone so his neck and collarbone was exposed.

With a start she realized he wasn’t wearing a shirt. Though she was curious as to why he lost his shirt from thirty minutes ago, she didn’t want to bring awkwardness to the conversation. He might have been hot, or uncomfortable.

He coughed, “So, why’d you call again?”

She felt her emotions start to deflate. Perhaps he didn't want to see her as much as she wanted to see him.

“Why not?”

“It’s getting pretty late there, is it not?”

“It’s only twelve thirty.” she retorted.

He chuckled, furrowing his brow, “Isn’t that why we hung up?”

“Yes, but-“

“Go to bed, Cinder.” His smirk began to fall bit as he stared at her through the screen. Though they were thousands of miles apart, she could still feel the intensity and wanting From his eyes. “I don’t want you to go to bed, but you should for your own health.” Her doubt dissapeared like clouds once saved away.

“This is nothing compared to how late I’ve slept before. Sometimes I don’t sleep at all.” Her voice softened. She felt as if they were in the same room, mere inches apart from each other, while having a deep conversation. “I don’t want to sleep. I’m not tired.”

“It’s not about what you want, dear, it’s about what you need.” Dear. His nicknames were a little corny, sure, but they were cute.

“You sound like everybody else here, they always tell me what I need to do, never taking account what I want to do or my opinions.” Cinder huffed, slightly teasing him back. She didn’t mean to start ranting about her demanding, yet exhausting, life but their conversations usually ended up this way. It seemed like the only people who could relate to teenagers being in charge of entire countries is other teenagers being in charge of entire countries.

Kai smiled, then heaved a long sigh. “I know what you mean.” She watched him fall back into a pillow. “And what do you want, Cinder, if you’re so tired of others telling you what you should want?”

She paused, thinking, “I want… people to listen to me without giving poor arguments that are easily refutable. Perhaps a day without a headache would be nice? If that is even possible.” She let out a small laugh. “And maybe… a break. I know I sound pretentious but I just want one moment a day to myself where I can think out loud without interruptions and judgement.” Cinder never talks this much with anybody except Iko and, now, Kai. She didn’t even mean to say all that. “And what do you want, Kai?”

Three heartbeats. She could see the hesitition and resolve in his eyes. It was like watching gears to a hover spin until it starts, and once it did start you could fe. Then he smiled, “You, darling. I want you. All I wish for at every chance is you.” Her heart nearly exploded out of her chest. She felt special, lucky, wanted. It felt so comforting, like a warm blanket around her cold shoulders. She was frozen, her smile stuck in her throat instead of her cheeks for once. All she could do was listen. “I want you by my side tonight, tomorrow night, every night. I want to wake up with you.” His voice lowered until it wasa barely audible murmur. It made this moment and his words seem more important. “I only want to be with you. Stars, Cinder, you don’t know how much I miss you when we hang up. You don’t know how glad I am you called. You don’t know how much I want you.” Another heartbeat, “You don’t know how much I want to kiss you.”

Good, ever present, shining, stars above. Warnings popped up in her head but she only ignored them. She could only think about Kai and his heartfelt speech. She could only think about how much she missed him too, how much she wanted him here with her, how much she wanted to crawl into his arms and listen to him breathe. How much she wanted to tell him everything she felt at this moment and every moment that they share. A pause stretched between them as they stared at each other. She watched his ears, then his cheeks, turn red. How she loved it when he blushed, it was very adorable. Then she spoke “I want the same things, Kai.”

He chuckled again, this time more awkwardly. “Ok, good. I would be a little concerned if you didn’t.”

Another pause unfurled comfortably. They lay their smiling at each other in the wake of their confessions. His audible, hers emotional. She needed to figure out how to voice them. Stars, it would be so much easier if she could say it with her head buried in his chest. He would smile and kiss the top of her head. The pain of their long distance relationship hit her once again, like a clock that rings dutifully every hour. It mechanically reminded her how far they were apart. And indeed every hour it struck, like perfect clockwork. She wished it was imperfect and preferred when she didn’t feel it coming.

“You know, I thought you were annoyed at me for calling earlier.” She rambled, annoyed at herself for only having one thing to say.

“Of course not, darling.” He frowned, “Never. I blush every time your name is mentioned.”

She smiled. “I make you blush?” She asked innocently.

Kai huffed, “Haven’t we had this conversation before?”

“I believe so.” The moment seemed to be heading to another long pause so she cleared her throat and mentally prepared herself, “Kai?”

“Yes, dear?”

“I, um, I have these dreams where you’re there.”

He smiled, radiant and breathtaking, “You

do?” He chuckled, “So you’ve said.”

“I know but listen for a bit. Those dreams feel so real that I manage to convince my conscious self that it was a real memory when I wake up. Of course, I realize the truth later, but that’s not the point.”

“What is the point?”

“I’m getting there.”

“When will you reach the point.” His smile stuck but not as breathtaking, but more mocking.

“Kai.” She said with a glare.

“Ok I won’t speak. Please continue, darling.”

“Well, the reason they felt, and feel, so real is because of how much I want them to feel real.” She sighed. His eyes matured to understanding and she could tell he related. “I just wish we- I want us to— I think— ugh.”

“You want the same things I do.” He murmured, low and confirming. “So you’ve said.”

“So I’ve said.” Cinder paused. “I wish I wasn’t in Luna. I wish I wasn’t Queen. I wish I didn’t have to take on this responsibility so young. I wish I could spend my days with, like your actual— you know.” She nervously cut herself off.

He laughed out loud, “Like my actual girlfriend?”

Queen Selen Channary Jannali Blackburn of Luna was her official name and title. It was enough that people would destroy countries for the power. It struck fear, envy, respect, relief to her citizens, and much more, depending on who you ask. Yet, the title of girlfriend, the Emperor’s girlfriend, made her far more giddy than the title she held now. Stars, what happened to her stoicism?

Kai smiled, noticing her obvious emotions for the name, “What, are you too embarrassed to say it out loud. Are you ashamed that you’re dating the Emperor?” He teased her because he knew what she’d say.

“Are you ashamed that you’re dating the Queen of Luna.” Cinder smirked, “Again.” She added.

“Hey, I never dated Levana… Willingly, at least.” He retorted.

“Uh huh. Whatever you say. Just know that tablets disagree.” Said Cinder.

“And what do the tablets say?” He mused.

“That she’s exactly your type. And I’m some sort of an anomaly.” said Cinder.

“So I’m into old andpchycopatic women?” Kai asked.

“I was actually thinking you were into being manipulated and threatened.” She winked. “So I guess I’m just your type, going off what the tablets say about me”

They started to laugh. She rolled over in her bed, tangling the sheets even more. She could feel the vibrations of his laugh coming from the port and briefly imagined she could feel it coming from his chest. Cinder slowly stopped laughing as her thoughts turned bleak once again.

Kai, per usual, noticed. “What’s wrong, darling.”

She twisted her mouth, “I miss you.”

“I know, me too.” He sighed. “I think we said this at least twenty times tonight. Or this morning.”

“Yeah. We should probably plan to meet up sometime soon.” It was probably impossible but Cinder couldn’t help talking about it. She wanted them to at least think about it.

“Yes. We should. I’ll talk to Torin-” He yawned, interrupting his sentence- “First thing in the morning.”

“I’ll talk with whoever is in charge of my Royal visits. Hoofing- er Hoffing, however you say it. Or maybe it’s Ryan, she handled one of my trips. But I swear I saw Hoffing’s name on my last trip.” Cinder cut herself, noticing her habit to ramble when she got tired. She also noticed how the other side of the screen went quiet and dark.

“Kai?” She murmured, “You asleep yet?”

“No, but I will if you keep talking. The sound of your voice is quite comforting and relaxing. It’s nice to fall asleep to.” Responded Kai. The tone of his voice was telling of his evident weariness.

“Ok. How about I keep rambling about nothing until we both fall asleep?” She asked.

Kai smiled, “I would like that a lot, my darling.”

They did exactly that. Once Cinder ran out of things to talk about, she started reading a book to him. Everytime she thought he was asleep he would input a thought and she’d keep reading. This went on for thirty minutes ago until Kaiws permanently quiet and Cinder’s words turned into snores.

The couple slept together that night. A thousand miles apart, a time zone away, and space couldn’t separate them. If they loved each other this deeply now, how much deeper would it be in person? Their breathing matched, and even without physical touch, their heartbeats aligned. A truly romantic and inspiring moment that the couple will keep in their minds until they met face to face, not long from. All there is to do is wait.

AN: Sorry for being completely unactive for the last year or two but I come bearing gifts! My love for tic and kaider have (obviously) not faded but I've just been swamped with school, friends, extracurriculars, and with little to no motivation to write. I hope y'all like this pic though, the beginning was made by me around 5 am in an airport and I've been slowly adding up to it over the months (so if the beginning is crappy, I was sleep deprived). I have a TON of started fics in my notes app waiting to be released unto the world but y'all just have to wait and see. Also there may (or may not be) a part two to this fic (I started it last night) and I might never post it. No promises. Have a nice day :D !
