(this took a while because i was busy, sorry if its rushed)

scaramouche

scaramouche was extremely stubborn when it came to telling him what to do. he would either scoff and complain to himself before complying, or he would glare at you and act like he never heard you.

"come on scaramouche! we're gonna be late for work, the boss is going to lecture us again because of you!" you tried dragging him out of bed by his wrist, but he wouldn't budge. instead, he grumbled and swiped his arm away before going back to sleep.

you sighed, wondering how the hell you're supposed to get him out now. you looked at him and his annoyed impression, before heading to the kitchen to leave him alone for now.

scaramouche smiled to himself, thinking that he could finally get some shut eye without being bothered for once. he started getting comfortable until he heard your footsteps approaching.

he pretended to be asleep, that was until he felt a stinging, cold feeling pouring onto his face. he got up almost immediately from where he was resting, looking at you holding a glass of ice water with a smirk.

he scowled and looked at you with a pissed expression, and your eyes widened, knowing you were done for. he tackled you onto the floor and pinned your wrists, making you yelp. freezing waterdrops dripped from his soaked clothes and hair, and you squealed trying to push him off but to no avail.

"w-wait! you can kill me all you want when we get back from work, but we really should be going now!" you said in a tremulous voice. he gave you the death stare for a couple of seconds before finally releasing you.

he got up and locked himself in the restroom, probably to take a shower and dry himself off from what stunt you just pulled. you sighed out of relief, and hurried out the door to wait for him instead of receiving more dirty looks.

...

both of you got into the subway and looked around for an vacant place to sit. in the corner were two seats that looked open, so you grabbed scaramouche's hand and pushed through the crowd.

just as you were about to sit, scaramouche sat in the middle of both seats and gave you a sly smile. he was still heated, so he wanted to get back at you for that. you put your hand on your forehead and shook your head, groaning at how childish he could be. you held onto a pole instead.

as the subway started to deport, scaramouche noticed how you weren't holding onto the pole properly. one push and you could fall over completely. he opened his mouth to tease you, but he noticed that you were closing your eyes.

he crossed his arms and mumbled to himself before pulling you onto him. he sat you in the seat beside him, wrapping an arm around your waist so you wouldn't fall in the opposite direction. your head flopped over onto his shoulder unconsciously, catching him off guard.

he carefully looked over at your peaceful resting face, admiring how beautiful your aspects were. he looked away and started to drift to sleep as well. you wrapped your arms around his while you were asleep, unbeknownst to you.

little did both of you know that you weren't making it on time to work after all.

albedo

albedo holds the end of the pen against his lips, carefully deciding how he’s going to write out the solution to the equation that sits in bold letters on top of the paper in front of him.

he taps the pen against the table impatiently, too engrossed in the subject to realize that you were standing behind him.

“what are you doing here, albedo?”

he nearly flinches when you leaned down to whisper in his ear. his body relaxed, knowing that it was only you. “i am studying for the upcoming exam, (name.) do you require anything from me?”

you give him a shrug before grabbing the seat next to him and pulling it closer to where he is. you sit and closely watch his movements.

albedo doesn’t falter at this. after all, he’s never been bothered whenever you observe him. his lips curve to form a small smile, but he focuses on his work so you wouldn’t see it.

you drag the chair you were sitting in closer to him which made a loud squeaking noise. he quickly puts his hand on your arm to tell you to be quiet, with his finger on his lips. “don’t make so much noise. they’ll kick us out of the library again,” he chuckled.

“ah, sorry sorry. i just wanted to get closer. seriously, they really have to get better chairs next time,” you joked. albedo simply nodded and proceeded to write something on a notebook to which you payed no mind to. you sighed, sitting in silence with him for what seemed like minutes.

“hey.. albedo. you’ll be here for awhile, won’t you?” albedo nodded his head and looked at you as you started to shift in your seat. “are you leaving? it is a bit late, actually. here, i’ll drive you hom-“ he gets interrupted when you lean your head on his shoulder.

“there’s no need. i’ll keep you company here so you won’t feel bored while studying. besides, i missed you,” you mumble, leaning in more while wrapping your arms around his torso. he gulps, a sudden warmth rushing to his cheeks he was all too familiar with.

he continues to do his work for a few minutes before your eyes start to feel heavy. the smell of vanilla coming from albedo’s cardigan and the gentle scribbles of a pen make you fall asleep, shifting your weight onto the man beside you.

he adjusts his glasses to find you dreaming contently on his shoulder. he smiles, running a hand through your hair that further soothes you. he presses a kiss to your cheek, looking at you again before returning to the paper in front of him with you in his mind.

tighnari

the sound of wind brushes past your ears and the sweet aroma of flowers makes you certain that you would find tighnari in a place like this. he has a sense of belonging around wildlife, always taking in the beauty of what life has given him.

you hear rustling in a tree above you, peering up to be met with an apple falling onto your head. you curse to yourself, rubbing the spot that you’ve been hit. you look up again to see tighnari looking back at you, lounged comfortably on a tree branch eating a fruit. he simply sneers while you frown at him.

“did i hit you just now? well, it’s only natural. i thought a bear was approaching to come and eat me,” he said sarcastically, feigning innocence. you grit your teeth, and it seems to make him more amused.

“you-! you little brat, that hurt! come down right now so i can kick your ass!” you yell. silence passes before he bursts out laughing and you stare at him looking stunned. “y-you’re going to kick my ass, is that what you said? how interesting,” he giggles to himself before jumping off the branch and onto the grass.

the air felt tense around you as he stared at you like a predator circling its prey. you gulped down your nervousness, gradually taking a step back every time he stepped towards you. he smirked before quickly making his move.

the second he jumped at you, you stepped to the side and ran away. he smiled playfully, feeling more excited than before. “shit! don’t come near me, tighnari!” you yelled nervously, not wanting to turn back as he was already chasing you.

whenever tighnari felt to be in an extremely playful mood, there was no stopping what he would do. he wouldn’t give up until he got what he wanted. perhaps it was his animalistic tendencies, or maybe it was just the thrill of getting what he desired. you tried to outrun him, but he ended up catching up to you anyway.

“caught you, (name).”

you shrieked when he suddenly pulled you by your arms closer to him. his grin was unnerving, not knowing what he was about to do next.

all of your worries are washed away when a chaste kiss is pressed to your forehead. you’re even more confused now, wondering why he chased you down only to do such an innocent action which was totally unexpected.

furthermore, you were also confused about the strange feeling in your heart that ached when he pulled away.

"what.. did you just do to me?" you gulped, looking up at tighnari with a flushed expression. he only gave a cheeky smile, the one you hated but loved about him the most.

he offered your hand to you, and you hesitantly took it. you were curious about what he was going to do next, but you didn't let your guard down at all.

he led you to a beautiful tree, scarlet leaves falling with an overall breath-taking sight. you looked at it with admiration, while tighnari looked at you in the same way. he found it adorable, but his pride would never let him admit that.

you snapped out of your dazed state when you felt a tug at your hand. tighnari sat against the bark of the tree, patting the ground next to him to signal for you to take a seat. you complied, and he brought you closer.

for a moment, you relaxed in his arms, until you remembered that you weren't supposed to give in. you were about to stand up until he gently pressed your head against his neck. he hushed and reassured you, and just like that all your worries were washed away.

you sighed contently, closing your eyes while holding onto the boy beside you. he hummed a slow tune, enough to lull you to sleep just by his voice. he chuckled to himself before pressing another kiss to your forehead, watching you with a loving expression on his face before you fall asleep completely.

cyno

the silver haired boy sat in silence as he stared at his reflection in the glass. despite his intimidating appearance, he puts effort into being friendly by telling lame jokes. but that only seems to irk them more and drive them away.

he frowned, looking at his appearance once more. was it his eyes? he doesn’t intend to be feared over on purpose, but knowing him he could send a chill running down your spine in a mere matter of seconds with one blink of an eye if he dared to do so.

he stood up in his seat by a call of his name. he turned his head around to be met with a smile on your face.

he had to admit, he had a small crush on you. you weren’t afraid of him at all, dismissing all of the comments that would be told when people saw you two walking together in the hallway. he admired your boldness, especially your friendly personality.

he snapped back to reality when you put your hand on his desk, trying to get his attention. “my apologies, (name). what seems to be the matter?”

“i totally flunked my biology test today!” you groaned, pinching the bridge of your nose. “i didn’t know it’d be that hard, i even studied all night,” you said, handing him the paper with your test score.

cyno picked up the paper and examined it, humming before placing it down on his desk. “i can identify some minor errors that led to these answers. if you’d like, i could hel-“

“that’s great!” you blurted out, immediately grabbing a chair next to you while dragging it towards the desk that cyno was seated at. he looked at you with his mouth agape, quickly ignoring the fast beating of his chest to face you with a calm expression.

he helped you through the test as time passed by without both of you noticing. occasionally, he threw in a few humorous remarks to make it more entertaining, even though he knew he would only get a disappointed sigh in return.

to his surprise, you actually beamed with laughter. he didn’t know how he did it, but something about the way you looked so joyous made something inside him stir. his cheeks bloomed into a red shade, which he covered up by pressing his sleeves against his face.

after you stopped laughing, a giddy smile worked its way onto your face, showing cyno how unbelievably funny his joke was. he was swoon right then and there, moving onto a different topic before his heart decided to burst.

he hadn’t realized how the distance between both of you started to close in, was it always this close? your chair was practically right next to his, and your shoulders were already touching each other. he swallowed, dismissing the thought.

he felt an extra weight being pressed against his shoulder. he turned his head to see what it was, and he almost died on the spot.

there you were, sleeping soundly on his shoulder like a cliché scene straight out of a romance movie. his heart started to beat out of his chest, not knowing what to do.

he was thankful that you came to him afterschool, otherwise anybody seeing both of you right now would spread the sight like wildfire. he remained his composure, gently shaking your body to wake you.

you responded with an annoyed grumble, scooting closer to cyno for more warmth. he was out of ideas on what to do so he laid there with you wrapped around his arm. his stomach was practically swarming with butterflies, he wouldn’t deny that he’s never yearned for a moment like this, cliché or not.

he breathed out and continued to finish the work for you. he would probably just wake you up later once more so you can get a proper nap, but for now he wanted to embrace this.

he smiled, writing as his eyes stayed focused on the paper with his mind full of you.

aether

ink dragged across the paper to reveal your handwriting. you blocked out the chatters happening in the room to focus solely on the assignment in front of you. you had to get it done fast, otherwise you'd have to come in early in the morning next week to finish it.

the bell rang and the students around you quickly grabbed their bags and left, excited for the weekend plans they were having. you on the other hand, were stressed about turning this in on time. you decided you were going to sleep in the whole weekend, feeling spent while writing faster.

when you finished up the last paragraph, you sighed at last. you could finally rest easy without anything having to bother you until the next week.

as soon as you were about to pack your stuff up to head home for the day, aether barged into the empty classroom with an exhausted expression. you almost fell over when he came running towards you.

"(name)!! there you are! i was looking for you to ask if you wanted to come over today, or at least walk home together," he said with a cheery expression, despite running across the entire campus just to catch up to you.

you straightened up with your bag in your hands. "i'd be happy to. i didn't have any original plans for today anyway," you chuckle. aether's face lit up as he suddenly took your hand and dashed out of the classroom with a smile on his face.

you held onto him tightly as if you were about to fall if you didn't keep moving. why was he so fast!? sure, he was at the top of all of his classes including sports, but what was he in a rush for?

when both of you reached the gate, aether's name was called out by another teacher. aether groaned to himself, almost so quiet that you wouldn't be able to hear if you weren't so close. aether turned around and gave his signature smile.

"oh, aether! i'm sorry to bother you at this time but could you please help me out with the books at the library? they're quite heavy to carry around, and i'm sure you are capable of this task," she chuckled. aether looked at you and then looked back at the teacher, before sighing.

“of course, just give me a se-“ “actually, he should be heading home now, he’s pretty busy today,” you spoke up, aether looking at you with widened eyes. the teacher looked shocked too, before continuing.

“ah, no worries! it’s the weekend anyway, i don’t want to be taking all of your fun after all,” she smiled. “have a good day, you two!” she said, before heading back into the school.

aether was still frozen in place until you took his hand and started walking in the direction of his house. he was caught by surprise, but nonetheless followed.

“you don’t always have to say yes to everyone y’know. people have their own problems that they can deal with. i know it sucks to be the errand boy of the school,” you frowned. aether looked down, letting your words sink in.

“i know that, but i still feel the need to help people. i’m not being forced obviously, but it feels nice to know that i’m being counted on,” aether’s hand tightened around yours, and you could tell that he felt sad.

minutes of silence passed until both of you reached his doorstep. he was about to put his bag down until you took it for him and headed in. he was confused by this gesture, until you finally uttered words under your breath.

“if everyone’s going to count on you for help, who’s going to help you when you need it?“ you scoffed, turning around so he wouldn’t see your face.

“…if you need anyone to talk to, i’ll be there. i’ll always be there for you.”

although he couldn’t see your face, he could tell that you were being genuine. his lips curved upwards to form a smile, one that showed that he was grateful for you.

you walked upstairs to aether’s room before he could say anything to you. you passed lumine on your way there with a quick “hello,” to which she greeted you back. aether was right behind you until lumine stopped him.

“you didn’t do the laundry today, didn’t you?” she groaned, crossing her arms and blocking aether’s path. he tried moving past, but lumine kept blocking him. he sighed, “i’ll do the laundry later! (name) is over here today, i have to spend time with them as much as i can.”

lumine raised her eyebrow, looking at him with a teasing tone. “you still don’t have a crush on them, do you? come on, don’t tell me you didn’t know everyone knew you were head over heels for (name),”

aether’s cheeks flushed up in embarrassment, shoving lumine out of the way to get to his room and slam the door. “don’t forget about the laundry aetherrrr!!” she shouted out from behind it, which he was pressed up against.

he finally relaxed until he remembered that you were sitting atop his bed, looking up at him with concern. “what was that about?” you asked nervously. he quickly waved his hands around saying it was nothing, sending the thought away.

you took a deep breath and yawned, taking aether’s attention. “are you tired?” he asks, walking up to the bed and sitting down closely to you.

you nod your head, gently leaning closely to him with your head resting on his neck. he smiled, “go ahead and get some rest then. it’s been a long day, i’m sure you’re exhausted,” he states, pulling the blanket over both of you.

he sighs contently, holding you close to him while falling asleep with you.

his fourth betrayal.

description - those who defy the rules of eternity must be met with punishment. however, there are some exceptions to be made that the might of the shogun’s discarded puppet can tolerate.

u basically get in trouble with some soldiers and almost get arrested xoxo (this was rushed at 2 in the morning im so sorry if its badly written)

mentions - angst to comfort, suggestive content (blood and fighting), pre-fatui scaramouche, use of his real name

panic filled his body as he scouted everywhere for you. at a time like this, there’s no way that you could’ve left him that easily. you promised him to never abandoned him, right?

he ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. he wandered endlessly for two days around inazuma and there’s still no sign or traces of you left. it’s like you completely disappeared off of the face of teyvat.

he thought back to the last time he remembered encountering you.

…

“kunikuzushi?” you tapped his shoulder and unintentionally startled him.

“oh um, yes?”

“i’m going out to go buy some lavender melons from inazuma city. i should be back in a couple of hours, so don’t miss me for too long,” you grinned, giving him a thumbs up.

“wait, take me with you. it’s dangerous to go out at night and-“

“don’t worry, kuni. i’ll be fine. i promise i’ll come back to you,” you said with a smile, taking your hand in his and giving him a gentle squeeze.

he sighed, bringing your hand closer to his face and leaning into it. your warmth was always so comforting to him. he sighed as you reassured him before heading to venture.

..

he felt his whole world collapsing. his heart shattered to the ground, tears upon tears rolled down his cheeks as his knees grew weak to keep holding him up. he sobbed your name into the night sky as his voice fell on deaf ears.

he was betrayed once again.

as he wiped his sorrow away and got up, he took his hat and decided to go into inazuma city himself. he avoided that cursed place in hopes of ever having to face the raiden shogun ever again. it was proof enough that he wasn’t worthy to fulfill such a task, in which he was discarded.

he roamed the streets of inazuma city, not bothering the fact he was bringing attention to himself. the feather on his attire was confirmation that he was indeed a creation made by raiden ei. merchants and citizens whispered into the ears of one another.

he cared less about the situation. all he needed to do was find you as soon as possible.

when he arrived at a bridge, he saw you from a distance fighting with some soldiers from the tenyrou commission. he immediately rushed over but was pushed aside by a crowd of bystanders. he groaned in annoyance, but soon his attention was diverted towards the scene unfolding right in front of him.

“this person right here has been accused of stealing several products from shops in the area! i’ve searched through their bag and concluded that everything that has been stolen is indeed in here. arrest them!” a soldier commanded, while two other men shifted towards you.

you looked down in disappointment. you never stole anything, and that wasn’t even your bag. you were about to say something, but someone had shouted from the crowd of people.

“don’t you dare touch them!”

kunikuzushi pushed past the crowd, his eyes glowing in anger. you paused in confusion, but nonetheless held your ground. the soldier laughed in amusement, pointing their blade towards him. “who do you think you are?”

“t-that’s! that’s a creation of the almighty shogun!” someone blurted out, backing away from the crowd.

“what!?” the soldier said in disbelief, and turned towards the man in front of him. he lowered his weapon in fear, dropping to his knees. however, it was too late to apologize.

everything happened in a blur. when you opened your eyes, two things had already occurred. a flash of purple shot past you, and the soldier that was begging for mercy was on the floor in a pool of his own blood.

your eyes widened, and the crowd of bystanders were already scattering away. kunikuzushi huffed and looked at the palm of his hands, splattered in red. his gaze softened and his heartbeat finally slowed down.

there was no undoing what he just did.

his consciousness drifted away while his body grew limp. before he could collapse, you caught him in your arms and cradled him. more soldiers came rushing to the scene, and so you picked him up in your arms and fled swiftly.

..

kunikuzushi suddenly woke up, immediately looking around the room for you. his foolishness chose emotion over rationality once again, he thought, and didn’t even check if he got to you in time. luckily you were right by his side, resting peacefully.

he sighed out of relief. you were okay. he clenched his chest and laid back down, turning to face you. he watched as your chest heaved up and down as well as your resting face. he smiled a bit.

when you shifted in your sleep and opened your eyes, he blinked and pretended to look somewhere else. “you’re awake.”

“mm,” you mumbled, half-asleep. “why were you away for two days?”

“i ran into some trouble on my way back home. i saw a man with an injury so i went to go help him, but some soldiers outside of the city went up to me to ask me about a thief. i knew nothing of it, but the man shouted out that i was a bandit and even went so far as to say that his bag with the stolen goods was mine,” you breathed out.

“but you, kuni, why did you kill that soldier?”

he flinched, looking into your eyes to see that they were staring right back at him. his fists clenched.

“he was going to put his hands on you. he.. he was going to take you away from me, i didn’t want that happening again.”

he grit his teeth, but he calmed down a bit when you tugged his arm. “you didn’t have to kill that man though,” you shook your head. he frowned and scoffed. “so what?”

you pouted, almost forgetting the fact that he wasn’t capable of feeling pity. however, you still leaned closer to him. “i would never leave a promise left broken. if i was taken away, i’d always find a way back to you. just please, don’t start conflict beyond fixing.”

his gaze softened, and soon his bold facade disappeared. he melted into your arms when they wrapped around him, sobbing and sniffling into your shoulder.

“shh, shh..” you hushed, kissing his tears away. you ran your hands through his hair in an effort to comfort him, which unexpectedly worked. “i’m sorry,” he mumbled out, hugging you tighter.

you wiped his face and pecked his cheek, smiling warmly. his eyes slowly closed and fell asleep in your arms.

im not alone anymore.

i won’t be abandoned this time. i finally have a purpose.

to understand this frivolous feeling that humans cherish so much.

love, i finally have someone to call my own.

aether

as you guys were preparing for the upcoming windblume festival, amber suddenly called both of you up to try out the new gliding challenge that they planned to host.

“come on, it’ll be fun you two! we just have to adjust the safety measures to the appropriate amount and make sure they’re okay, which is why you two are here!” she exclaimed, however that didn’t sound like good news to the both of you.

“so, you’re saying you’re using us as a test to see if this thing is stable for people to use?”

“umm… something like that!” she nervously chuckled, and after seeing your dissatisfied look, she sighed.

“i promise it won’t be that bad! look, as long as one of you guys are up for it, i’ll treat all of you to a meal at good hunter for helping us out with the festival!” and all of a sudden, paimon’s eyes light up, swarming aether on how he should take the offer.

aether groaned, finally giving in to paimon’s pleads. “fine, i’ll do it, but you better keep your end of the deal.” he looks over at you and flashes you a thumbs up, hoping that you would pray for him.

in the next couple of minutes, aether is already on top of the anemo archon’s statue, testing the winds and checking which way they’re blowing. you on the other hand, with paimon and amber, are waiting at the end of the finish line to watch if aether can really get to the goal.

he finally jumps down and his windglider spreads its wings. he navigates through the course very quickly, at the same time very steadily. paimon and amber start cheering for him and you try your best to do so too.

hes almost at the finish line, you thought. however, in an instant, the wind starts getting stronger, pushing aether back and forth in the air. he manages to keep his cool, but he unexpectedly starts falling due to his lack of balance.

you run to catch him, and you caught him in your arms just in time. yet, you didn’t brace yourself for the effect, causing both of you to fall on the floor.

amber gasps and rushes over, while paimon follows. paimon then notices what kind of awkward position you both are in, so she turns away embarrassed.

my head is spinning. you turn your head upwards only to be met with your lips on aethers.

he starts blushing profusely, and your face starts getting hot as well. both of you turn away from each other trying to forget about the interaction you just had.

amber clears her throat to get rid of the tension. “ahaha… and i assume that this challenge isn’t secure enough to host…?”

both of you including paimon, look at her with a frown and dirty looks. she shivers and leaves the topic by talking to paimon instead.

and although you three got the food you were promised, aether still couldn’t get that scenario with you out of his head for the entire day.

venti

“ouch, that hurts!”

venti had started whining when the pain finally hit him when you bandaged his injuries. it didn’t even hurt that bad, venti just wanted to be a baby to catch your attention. he started kicking his feet against the roots of the windrise tree, and you breathed out.

“suck it up venti, i know your antics. besides, it’s your fault that you got into a fight with a bunch of fatui minding their business at their own camp.”

he pouted and huffed. “oh woe is me! even my own lover doesn’t want to return my affection after everything i’ve been through!” he turned away dramatically, placing the back of his hand against his forehead.

you rolled your eyes and flicked his nose, gaining an “ow!” from the bard. as you finished patching him up, he stared off into the distance, grinning and smiling to himself.

“what’s gotten you all giddy?” you smirked, deciding to humor him for a little while. he looked at you with a mischievous look on his face, it almost made you scared for a second.

“oh nothing!” he giggled, blowing wind against your ear just to mess with you. you gasped and leaned forward to tickle him, but he jumped off the grass and into the air, laughing at your attempt for revenge.

he started sticking his tongue out at you, using his anemo powers to keep himself floating. you groaned at his childish behavior, but you beamed at how much fun he was having. when you tried reaching for him, he would just go further up and down, dodging your hands.

“awww, look at how cute you look! y’know, maybe if you give me a peck on the cheek i’ll-“

he interrupts himself when his powers stop working, but when he used them again to balance himself, his eyes widen as he realized he was kissing you.

you pulled away almost immediately and put your hand on your lips to recall what just happened. he snickered, and started teasing you even more.

“haha! i didn’t know you were so eager to kiss me! not to worry, this lovely maiden is gonna get all the kisses i have to offer~!”

he peppered your face with tiny pecks and everywhere he could reach. every time you pushed him away, he would just keep coming back for more.

“whats wrong? are you telling me you dont like it when i do this?” he feigned a frown, making you sigh and cup his cheek.

“i was only joking, love. you know i would never do something as cruel as that.” you giggled and so did he. “of course i do!” he pulled you into a hug and nuzzled your head. “remember, even if you run or hide from my affection, the winds will always lead me back to you to keep on trying.”

kazuha

kazuha isn’t one to lose his cool that easily. in fact, it’s impossible to see him do it. when you were transferring cargo from the docks to the alcor, kazuha, lo and behold, was on top of the boats ledge sitting in a rather comfortable position.

you couldn’t help but look at him in awe, admiring his gorgeous looks and his calm personality. you snapped out of it when captain beidou shouted your name for help. you rushed over and proceeded to follow what she requested.

little did you know, kazuha was watching you the whole time with his peripheral vision. after all, a ronin like him is great at examining things.

when all was said and done, the alcor was ready to set out to sea. you wiped the sweat off of your face with the back of your arm, proud of getting the job done. kazuha smiled to himself at how endearing you could be. he jumped down to start a simple conversation with you.

“good evening (name). you look rather lovely today, or is it just that common for you to be so alluring all the time?”

you felt a bit flustered at first, but stifled a laugh. “how romantic of you kazuha, though i must say that being a poet does have its charms.”

he chuckled. “then, might i entice you to some of my other charming aspects?”

when he reached for your hands, the ship suddenly rocked to the side unexpectedly due to the strong waves of the ocean. you gasped, trying to grab onto kazuha as he was the only person close by to support you.

his arm wrapped tightly around your waist while the other grabbed onto a ledge close by. your arms were latched onto his shoulders, holding on until the ship was pulled back up again.

he sighed out of relief, but when he turned his head to look at you, he felt heat rushing up to his cheeks.

“o-oh, i apologize.”

when he went to move his arm away from your waist, he felt a slight tug that pulled him back. his face was mere inches from yours, and his breath hitched.

“kazuha, you’re..”

he pressed his lips against yours, sighing in delight. he held you tightly in his arms, somehow pulling you closer to him. he’s been waiting for this moment for so long.

your hands drifted to his hair, slightly ruffling it up. when you finally separated, both of you were out of breath and quite obviously flustered.

he smiled again, caressing your cheek. “your lips are sweet. i wouldn’t ever believe i’ve been missing out on such a pleasant treat..” his hand traveled to put his fingers against your lips to open your mouth a bit.

you scoffed, slapping his arm away. “oh cut it out, now you’re just teasing me.” he laughed and pecked your cheek. “m’sorry, couldn’t help it. you’re just too gorgeous for me.”

no matter how many times you try to avoid his constant flirting, there was no way you could’ve successfully evade his attractive temptations.

heizou

“so uhh.. how about we talk this out?”

heizou nervously laughed, but nothing could prevent the lump in his throat from being evident.

he gulped, and looked up at you, who was clearly pissed. his hands were tied behind his back and wrapped around a tree. he laid against it for leverage to try and bring himself up, but he was simply pushed back down by the heel of your shoe.

“tell me detective, just what were you thinking looking through my personal things for evidence, especially my diary?” you huffed out, embarrassed to even comprehend what he must’ve found out while reading it.

he scrambled out for an answer, but had no reply. to be truthful, he didn’t really mean to look through your diary, but he got curious when he found it laying on top of your office desk.

“no response? how much did you even read!?”

“i swear i didn’t look at all of it! only two pages, that’s all!” you furrowed your eyebrows when he gave you an answer, trying to determine whether it was a lie or not. heizou was good at it, so you were having a lot of trouble.

“and you’re sure you haven’t read that page, right..?” he tilted his head to the side in confusion, but quickly nodded his head. you mumbled to yourself, and finally decided to believe him.

that page was full of things you wanted to tell him. it was just a bunch of confessions really, but you know you would never have the courage to actually say them to his face.

you crouched down, staring into his eyes skeptically. then your face turned smug. “y’know, it’s actually pretty entertaining seeing you below me like this.”

he looked away out of embarrassment, suddenly surprised by how bold you were when you switched up. “hey, just shut up and untie me.”

you got up and smirked down at him. “now, don’t get so angry with me. besides, you’re talking a lot for someone who’s all tied up and completely at my mercy.”

“really? not if i do this?”

he caught you off guard and gently kicked your ankle down, causing you to trip and fall. you fell on your behind and rubbed your head. you weren’t prepared for that at all. when you were just about to get up, he got on top of you and pinned you to the ground below you.

heizou grinned. “looks like you’re in a tough situation.”

“how did you even manage to get out of the rope!?”

“lets just say i have a few tricks up my sleeve.”

you tried getting out of his grasp, but he just held you tightly. “hey, i know i lied but, i actually did read the whole thing about.. you know.”

he what?

you were filled with both anger and embarrassment at the same time, feeling your hand clutch onto his shirt collar. “heizou, you liar!”

“how much do you know!?” you brought his face close to yours, ignoring the way he blushed for a second. “i-i know that you have a crush on me! but, i wasn’t going to tease you about it! i feel the same way!”

“you.. you do?”

he quickly became flustered at his own words, and nodded slowly. “i’m.. sorry. for lying to you and for reading your personal diary.”

you felt your anger dissipate, and your stomach gradually filled up with butterflies. knowing that he returned your feelings was a dream come true.

“it’s alright. but next time just try to tell me the truth, ‘kay? that was a really bad way of me confessing..” you rubbed the back of your head when he got off of you and sat up.

he waved both of his hands to change the topic. “okay okay, i understand. say, how about we go to a restaurant, you and me?”

he offered his hand to pull you up, and you complied. “as in a date?”

“if you’d like to think it that way, then maybe.”

when you got back up on your feet, you completely forgot about the rope that you tied heizou up with, leading you to lose footing over it.

he managed to catch you before you could fall, but that quickly led him to falter his own movements. he stumbled back while you clutched onto him tightly. “woah, steady now, wouldn’t want you falling for me that easily.”

he smiled down at you, noticing how your eyes looked up at him. he wanted to compliment you and make you even more swoon for him.

“heizou.. can i.. kiss you?”

his grin grew even wider despite the heat rushing to his cheeks. he leaned in and kissed you softly.

his mouth tasted like dango milk. his hand was caressing your cheek, pulling you closer. you bit his lip, signaling that you were almost out of breath. as soon as you opened your eyes, heizou pulled away with a sigh.

“we should do that again,”

“totally.”

xiao

you started picking flowers to bring to xiao because you thought they were cute. he always tries to remind you that he has no use for mortal gifts and says they’re pointless, but despite his harsh words, you could never miss the way his eyes light up a bit when you see him alone with them.

you brought a particular one up to your face and sniffed it. it was a glaze lily. you relished in its scent, placing it delicately in your basket.

as the sun set peacefully in the background, you sat contently looking down at the field of flowers in which you picked from. you glanced at your basket, remembering that you were supposed to bring them to your beloved. until.. a flash of green appeared right in front of you.

“where have you been?”

xiao stared down at you with crossed arms, raising an eyebrow and tapping his foot impatiently.

“i didn’t realize it was already getting dark. m’sorry for worrying you, xiao.”

he scoffed and looked away. “just, call my name when you’re in trouble. and don’t try anything irrationa-“

“wait. can you stay with me a little longer?”

he stopped to look at you, and nodded. you patted the ground next to you, motioning for him to sit. he swallowed down and followed.

“look, the flowers. don’t they look pretty?”

he gazed at the field with admiration, but quickly cleared his throat. “it’s, nice. is this what you wanted to show me?”

“well, pretty much. but i want you to do something for me.”

“..what is it?”

“i want you to dance in it.”

“..???”

he gave you a confused look, and you stood there and chuckled. “ridiculous, isn’t it? but even so, i know you’ll enjoy it. that’s all i want you to do.”

he hesitated, but then held your hand. “fine. but you’re coming with me too.”

you were caught by surprise when he suddenly pulled you along. you grabbed your basket and trudged along with xiao to the center of the flower field.

he placed his hand on your hip while the other took hold of your hand. your other arm wrapped around his shoulder. he gave you a short nod to show you that he was ready, and just like that, you two started slow dancing.

the glaze lilies beneath you sang a pure melody that xiao used as a rhythm for your steps. he held you cautiously, scared that you might break because of his touch. you reassured him and he was more comfortable to guide you.

the sun was out of sight and the moon shined down perfectly. he swayed you with absolute grace, looking into your eyes hopelessly in love. it didn’t last very long when you unexpectedly stepped on his foot on accident. you fell backwards, but he caught you on instinct before you reached the grass.

what he didn’t expect was to pull you so quickly, but before he could move away, he was already kissing you.

he was stunned as he gasped into the kiss, and swiftly vanished. you stumbled over, regaining your balance as you tried to process what happened.

you just kissed xiao!

when you turned around, he reappeared with a reddened face. he looked away and put the back of his hand against his lips. you giggled at his flustered behavior, suddenly catching his attention and huffing.

“humans.. so incompetent and clumsy.”

when he saw you laughing with blush adorned on your features, he is suddenly reminded of his undying love for you.

scaramouche

you searched frantically around the area to figure out where scaramouche had run off to. he disappeared without a sound while you were talking with one of the street vendors of inazuma.

after scaramouche obtained the gnosis, he came to you one night for a hiding place. as his long term friend, you had been taking care of him and hiding him away from both the fatui and the tenryou commission. he was a well known criminal, after all.

you thought it was a good time to finally let scaramouche go with you to buy a couple of groceries. he’s been complaining about how bored he was being lodged up in such a tiny room, even though you weren’t expecting him when he showed up at your door. nonetheless, you gave in.

of course, inazuma city was quite crowded with a lot of guards around. you took extra precautions, handing scaramouche a folded yukata as well as a jingasa, with a design different from the one he usually has on. that way, nobody would tell who he actually was if he looked like a normal inazuman citizen.

but right now, you were freaking out.

where did that clown go!?

as you turned the corner of komore teahouse, you breathed out a sigh of relief as you saw him playing with a stray cat he found atop a tree. when you walked up to him, he felt your presence, but didn’t move.

“scara, don’t disappear on me like that without telling me. i thought you got taken away or something by those guards.”

“so what? it doesn’t matter if i did, i’d kill them in a heartbeat if they ever laid hands on me,” he shrugged.

you frowned at how carefree he could be. “i know you would, which is the problem.”

he huffed, looking away. he picked up the cat which started nuzzling and purring against his chest. he placed the cat back up on the tree where it was resting, and it stretched out, drifting to sleep contently.

you lightly smiled. “you know, they had some dango at the cart i was just at. want a bite?” you reached inside the bag which contained the sweet treats, handing it to him. he raised his eyebrows, but still leaned in to taste it.

you were surprised, expecting him to grab it himself instead of eating it directly from the stick that you were holding.

“mmm, what?”

he looked up at you confusingly and you blushed in embarrassment, realizing you were watching him the whole time. he smirked, finally understanding.

“don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet, what were you thinking of just now?”

he inched even closer to you, making you back up every time he did. if anyone else was around right now, they would probably just think you were a couple playing around with each other.

he squished both of your cheeks with one his hands, teasing you further. if you weren’t embarrassed before, you definitely were now. you gulped down your nervousness, trying to back up more until your back hit a wall.

before you could move out of the way, he pinned both of your sides to prevent you from doing so. you dropped the dango bag on instinct and looked at him anxiously.

“scaramouche, we have to go back.. it’s already turning dark.”

he pouted, but pulled away anyway. “fine, i guess i’ve had my fun then.” he picked up the dango bag and started eating, walking away acting like nothing ever happened.

you calmed your breath, afraid that your heart would’ve jumped out of your chest. you rushed to catch up with him, suddenly overwhelmed and giddy inside.

on your way to your shared home, you and scaramouche decided to take a break from walking to sit down and relax. he laid next to you, toying with the gnosis as it glowed. you started eyeing it, fascinated with the purple glow that emitted from it.

you quickly got bored, and came up with a fun idea. “hey scara,” you mused. he gave you a hum, letting you know that he was listening.

“we should kiss.”

what!?

his face suddenly flushed, and he looked at you in shock. you looked at him innocently, not knowing what was so wrong with an intimate action.

“are you absurd?!” he hints with a scowl.

“..is that a no?”

when he asked you why, you only responded with a simple answer.

“i want you to be my first kiss. is that so wrong?”

when he looked away, you thought he was just going to say no, instead he moved in front of you. he put his hand on your cheek and the other on your side, closing his eyes and leaning in to kiss you until…

“ow!” he cursed, accidentally bumping his nose against yours. he forgot that he was still wearing the hat, which collided against the tree that you were leaning on. he rubbed his head, resulting in you attempting to keep in your laughter. he tsked, and went in for a second time to kiss you right again.

the contact between your lips lasted long, and he wasn’t going to stop until he got what he wanted. the lingering taste of dango was still on his tongue, and you struggled to keep up with the way he was kissing you so roughly.

you both pulled away breathlessly. he enjoyed every moment of it, especially when you tried squirming underneath him. he moved to the side and leaned against your shoulder, brushing his fingertips against your hand.

you flashed him a playful grin. “if you want to hold my hand that badly, go ahead you klutz.” he flinched, not noticing you were watching and looked the other way. “just shut up already.”

you intertwined your hand with his, slowly closing your eyes to doze off against him as everything faded out of sight.

i love you kuni.

perhaps you were half asleep and didn’t know what you were saying, but he heard you loud and clear. he felt hesitant, but he said it anyway with a whisper.

“i love you too.”

[klufu]

consolation.

description - in which you meet a peculiar puppet who wasn’t meant to harbor human emotions.

note: this is my first time writing a fanfic, so i apologize if the writings kind of sloppy ^^;

you loved stargazing. it was evident to everyone that you’d often go out at nights to relish in the moonlight and point out the constellations in the sky.

you took yourself on a walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery of inazuma. like any night before, you watched as the stars glowed in contrast to the darkness up above. you sighed contently, until you spotted up ahead the path of a figure you couldn’t quite tell what it was.

as you inched closer, you could indeed tell that it was a person. however, when he finally spotted your presence, he didn’t bat an eye. he just stood there alone like he was lost. you decided to scan his form, noticing that he wielded a vision. before you could take a good look at his clothing, he turned around to face you.

“what do you think you’re doing?”

ah.

“sorry sir, i didn’t mean to stare.”

“alright. then get lost.”

why was this guy so rude?

when you opened your mouth to reply, you found yourself staring at him again. you’ve never seen him before, why are you so mesmerized by his appearance? he scowled and rolled his eyes.

“didn’t you hear me? i said go away.”

“but i don’t want to. you seem interesting.”

“what?”

“im saying i wish to talk to you.”

you were really testing his patience. he could’ve killed you on the spot, but with the way you looked at him so genuine, he chose not to. perhaps it was your lack of fear unknowing that he was a harbinger with great power, or the fact that you might’ve just peeked his interest as well.

you smiled softly, beckoning him to follow you. he hesitated, but soon after he complied. You let him to a spot outside of inazuma city where you could see all of it. on top of that, the area around was a breathtaking sight. the light from the moon and the glow from the stars shined in the dark. the flowers were so alluring he couldn’t help but admire them. he took off his jingasa and sat down on the grass with you.

the moonlight shined down on his features more clearly making it easier for you to take a closer look at him. he was quite good looking, and kind of cute too. his eyes were filled with adoration and comfort, like he could finally be at ease.

after a while, he noticed you staring at him again, but when he went to say something about it, you beat him to it.

“what’s your name?”

you asked as you looked at him expectedly, oblivious to the fact that you were practically staring him down.

“why should i tell you it?”

“well sir, i want to talk and be friends with you. knowing your name would make it easier for me to address you.”

he almost snickered at how ridiculous you were, but he thought for a second. it’d be nice if someone knew the name i was given since birth. i don’t know why, but somehow i sense nothing but comfort and kindness from them. besides, how strong can they even be?

“my name is kunikuzushi. as for my origin, you don’t deserve to know all about that.”

he tried holding in his laughter when you pouted, it was almost adorable. you sighed, continuing to look into the stars.

“i’m (name). glad to meet you, kunikuzushi.”

you grinned, but your eyes were fixated on looking up at the sky. scaramouche noticed this, and raised his eyebrows.

“why are you so infatuated with looking at the sky? it’s pointless to me.”

“well, i tend to look at things longer if i find them fascinating or beautiful. just like you. that’s why i’ve been staring at you this entire time. you’re different. you’re like a star that glows in the night that shines the brightest, making you all the more unique.”

he had a blank expression on his face, until he realized what you meant by that. he looked away in an attempt to hide the embarrassment he felt, his cheeks turning red.

you turned your head to the side, wondering if you said something weird. you picked a flower from underneath you and offered it to him.

he turned to look at you, but he didn’t take the flower from your hands. instead, his eyes started getting watery with tears, looking as if he’s been holding them in for so, so long.

crap, why am i being so vulnerable in this humans presence!?

as you scrambled for something to say that might comfort him, he chuckled and wiped his tears away. you didn’t know what else to do, so you pulled him into a hug. his eyes widened and questioned what you were doing, but you only held him tighter.

“i don’t know why, but i’m getting this feeling that you’ve been trying to hold in your sorrow for far too many years. you look like you haven’t gotten a day of comfort in your life, so allow me to be the first to give it to you.”

you stroked his back upon realizing that he really was crying. he sobbed, holding you close to him and finally letting his emotions out. he wasn’t supposed to even have any at all, keeping them locked away as he saw them as a thorn at his side. and yet, all he truly wanted was to have a heart of his own, capable of grasping the emotions he’s longed for from the moment he was created.

you felt your shoulder becoming drenched with tears. he wanted to be as close as possible, taking in the only warmth that melted his cold heart. after what felt like a minute or so, he pulled away and looked at you so gently. you wiped away the tears rolling down his cheeks and looked deeply into his eyes.

his eyes were filled with solace, wondering why he was able to feel this way around a mere human. he has witnessed betrayal after betrayal which led to him throwing away the remains of what was left to be fragments of empathy. you started to realize how much pain he’s been through. he was just a lost soul.

“please don’t leave me, not right now at least. you’re the first person who’s ever made me able to feel this way.” he pleaded and whispered out, clutching your shirt as if you would suddenly slip away from his grasp.

“don’t worry, i’d never think of it. perhaps what you’ve sought after all was a heart that belonged to you, so instead i’ll give you mine.”
