Childe/Tartaglia x (male)reader drabble

It’s officially his b-day now so I have to do my civic duty and post rambles about my fave >:)

I’m having soft Fatui man brainrot and my one wish is to be held and have my hair played with. If I have to suffer you do too-

Mentions: fluff, just lots of like… hair petting/playing? very light lean towards suggestive, long-haired male reader, implied trans reader, morning cuddles

I really want to know what it feels like when Tartaglia is with you at the end of a long day, winding down, comes home to you laying on the bed all exhausted. He thinks you’re just worn down from work or whatever commissions you had during the day, and so to take your mind off it, he gives you a few loving subtle kisses before slowly making out with you. REALLY wanna emphasize that he unties your hair and lets it down just so he can tangle his fingers into it as he caresses your jaw to get a better angle. While you’re too tired to respond to his kisses, him letting your hair loose did feel extremely nice because he bends his fingers around the nape of your neck and across your scalp in the most pleasant and relaxing sensation. It has you letting out multiple sighs of relief that he mistook as breathy moans. He realizes in the middle of ravaging your collarbone that you aren’t as into it as he was, and pulls back a little to analyze your face. He finally notices your eyes pinched to avoid the light and how sluggish your movements are, how lazily your hands lay on his shoulder as they barely try to grip and keep a hold on his neck. You quietly apologize and give a brief explanation that you aren’t feeling well, and your body is too physically exhausted to do anything intimate.

Childe seems to understand now and instead leans away from you, reaching out to pat your tousled hair down and tucking loose strands behind the shell of your ear. He’ll gently remove your heavy clothing before grabbing you a night shirt, deftly slipping it over your head for you before leaning you back down with a kiss to your temple. He climbs into bed behind you after changing himself and gently pulls you into a cradling hold against his chest, nosing your hair aside so he can lean his face into your neck. Moments like this are a perfect reminder of how much he finds solace in your skin touching his. His cheek and lips brushing against the skin beneath your ear; His wrists nudged against your elbows where his arms sit in a protective hold around your waist; His kneecaps bumping into your calves and the backs of your knees. He wants to be in contact with as much of you as possible so that he can know every second he’s holding you that you’re alive and in his arms.

When you wake the next morning, you stretch, feeling a bit better, and childe stirs from your movement. When you turn over to face him a silly sleepy smile is dragged across his lips, and he runs the tips of his fingers into your hair again to scratch them lightly along your scalp. You cup his cheek and give him a proper kiss yourself, before leaning back into his embrace and dozing a bit more while he works his magic playfully dragging his hands through your hair.

In the Right Hands

Kaeya x reader drabble

Contains: fluff, comfort, one suggestive line, back rubs

This is a drabble and not revised I’m so sorry my typos will kill me one day but anyways-

Today, a day like any other, you walked into Kaeya’s office, having seen him milling about the city entertaining his usual duties with a few of the knights, and hoped you could catch him after his patrol ended. You usually were greeted with a devilishly handsome grin whenever you pushed open the door to the office. A smiling glint in his eye and the cool greeting he always gave you was something you (would never admit that you) look forward to when visiting him.

However what greeted you was... nothing. Walking in front of his desk, you watched as the captain did and said nothing, not even a glance up or a nod to acknowledge your presence. You could tell there was no ill will behind it, but it still irked you that he seemed so... well, cold.

You lightly tap the papers splayed in front of him within line of sight and he blinks, swiveling his head to gaze up at you tiredly. Giving a reassuring smile, you put up your hand in a small wave and nod with a hushed “Hello.”

He attempts a half smile before it droops back down into the frown he met you with today, not even bothering to put up a poker face. You can see the shadows that flicker under his eye as he turns this way and that when he looks back down at his documents.

“Yes, good to see you too, I’m... uh, terribly sorry that you caught me at an inopportune time...” he fumbles with the words as he shifts the papers around, looking for something absent-mindedly.

You take a seat nearby and cross one foot over the other, getting comfortable while he scours the desk. After a minute he holds up a generic paper, skims the contents, and files it away amongst the rest. Watching this process repeat a couple times, you began to feel almost physical pain just from looking at the observed stiffness in his shoulders. You chuckle at this unusual posture Kaeya has adopted, not sure what to make of it but trying to hide the worry in your voice.

“Well well, Cavalry Captain. Had a long day, did you?” you tease lightly. Perhaps it would distract him from his silent stressing.

You hear a noncommittal huff float across the room as dark cobalt hair spills over his shoulder when he leans forward, plunging his head into his hands. Waves of strain practically radiate off of him from where he sits in the chair across from you, and you feel a nip of pity when he lets out a stuttered sigh.

It isn’t often that you see Kaeya like this at all. In fact, you can’t remember a day where he hasn’t seen the strangest situations and only responded with a smirk or a shrug of his shoulders. And of course you’ve learned this just by being around him so often, having met him so long ago. Knowing him well enough by now, you wonder what in all of Teyvat could have shaken him and stretched his patience so thin.

Without a word, you uncross your legs and stand from your seat, taking careful but assured steps over to him and behind his chair. He doesn’t look up as you pass by him, nor does he say anything when he feels your fingers lightly press in between his shoulder blades. You then spread your hands out and begin working out the knots and stiff tendons in his back, slowly but surely lightening the weight you can feel has been sitting on his shoulders all day.

The sigh he lets out when you rub out a kink near his spine isn’t tense, but instead flutters out of his mouth with relief. It sends a warm feeling fluttering through your stomach as well when you hear it.

You weren’t certain if this was helping at all, but you do know he seemed to be enjoying the quick work your hands made by the way he sank into his chair and slowly softened into your touch. When you feel you’ve done enough, your hand slides to rest on one of his shoulder blades as the other drops to your side, and he whispers a reserved ‘thank you’ before craning his head to gaze at you.

There’s something in his eye, the way he looks up at you in that moment, and you’re not sure what it is but it makes your heart feel frozen for a second. Frozen, but not cold. Frozen with shock, shock of a new feeling you don’t think you have felt before when you look at him now. You can’t quite describe it, the words lost on your tongue as you feel heat creeping up your neck, realizing how long you both have been staring into each other eyes.

He smiles. The heat shoots up into your cheeks and bursts like a firework, splashing over your face with a light pale pink. Kaeya, ever the sharp-witted man, notices it right away.

All the tensity and tautness had smoothed out of his face and replacing it was a still quiet peace. It rested there on his features like a warm blanket and you liked how it looked on him, love it even.

Before you even discern how short the distance is now between your face and his, you feel the feather-light touch of his fingertips on your cheek, and Kaeya’s one open eye now closed. The touch of his lips on yours was even lighter, so faint it felt like it wasn’t even really happening.

By now you became more aware of your surroundings and reality kissed you square on the mouth. You sputter out a noise of pure confusion as you reel your head back to view the captain’s face in full. A cheshire cat couldn’t even hope to beat the grin stretched over his lips, which only a moment ago felt unfittingly warm on the surface.

“Wh-what... Kaeya...?”

“Hm? Oh it was just a thank you for the back rub. Your hands felt incredible.”

Besides reeling from the double entendre he threw your way and how quickly he returned to his normal disposition, your head tried to wrap around what still remained of your friendship after the not-so platonic gesture he just planted on your face.

The Cavalry Captain simply chuckled and shook his head fondly at your cherry-red cheeks. If he had known you were the best medicine for him before working through such a long exhausting day, he wouldn’t ever let you leave his side. With the way you make his heart beat erratically in his chest, he sure as hell won’t any time soon.

A/N: I love prompts where the character opens up when they trust you and feel comfortable being vulnerable or letting down their usual mask so here’s this, hope it’s not too ooc! Thanks for reading ✨

Little Things They Do

Prompt: small things the characters do when they’re smitten with you.

Various Genshin Characters x (GN) reader

Includes: some modern AU, pre-established relationship, (hopefully) tooth-rotting fluff

⚜️Aether/Lumine⚜️

• They will give you adoring looks all the time, and their sibling absolutely makes fun of them for it, while their best friend Paimon constantly has to snap them back to attention. It’s adorable. Sometimes, you catch a lovesick smile as they just look lovingly at you and lose focus on everything else. Other times it will be the tiniest pull at the corner of their mouth as they glance at you from the side, trying to hide the blush blooming on their face. They couldn’t hide it from you even if they tried to turn their head away, because the flaming tips of their ears would just give them away.

• Whenever Paimon and their sibling aren’t looking, they will steal small pecks on your cheek, or will just surprise you with a kiss on the mouth if they feel brave enough. Sometimes they get caught, and they are absolutely not sorry at all. You never fail to grin or laugh when it happens, so they think it’s absolutely worth it.

🍷Diluc🍷

• Every so often he will ask you to be his taste-tester. Either way it’s a win; if you drink alcohol he’ll have you try new flavors he wants to introduce to the menu, and if you don’t drink alcohol he has you try new beverages that he can indulge in as well. No matter what’s in it, most times that he asks you to try something he’s working on is because he thought of you while making it. When he sees a look of approval he’s flooded with pride, and hearing your thoughts whenever tasting something he made reassures him completely, because he trusts your judgement better than anyone’s.

• He’s always been a well-kept man and cleans up amazingly, maintaining a sharply-dressed appearance whenever he’s in public. That being said, when it’s just you two in his home or yours, he drops the suits and pressed fabrics in exchange for soft cotton shirts and anything loose fitting he can find. One night awhile ago, you told him how much you loved seeing this vulnerable side of him that felt so private, stopping him for a second in surprise, followed by contemplation. As he tucked into you and the blanket he wrapped around the both of you to achieve maximum cuddle comfort that night, he takes a deep breathe. He cracked a small warm smile and said “I don’t think I’ve ever... felt so comfortable around anyone like you in a long time.” Ever since then, every time he holds you closer on the couch and you feel the soft fabric of his sleep shirt brush your skin, you feel a comforting heat from his hands and chest where his heart is, and curl a little closer to him, relishing in this moment shared just between you two. It always makes him let slip that warm smile that he saves only for you.

🐏Ganyu🐏

• Whenever Ningguang gives her a day off, she immediately calls you and asks if you have plans for that day. There’s an excited lilt in her voice when she does that she tries to contain for posterity, and when you tell her you’re free you hear the smile in her voice when she asks what you want to do. When she finally meets up with you in person though, there’s no containing the rush of joy she feels when she grabs your hand eagerly in a shy but tender hold. Even if you’ve been together for awhile, the soft feel of her finger tips and the soft look in her eyes makes your heart somersault every time.

• Pressure from the strain between her family ties and her job constantly wears down on her, and sometimes you’ll see her have shadowed circles under her eyes, either from a sleepless night of work or the worries that keep her awake. All the stress melts away when she sees you, and she gives you a tired smile as she asks if you can just sit with her for a while and rest. It doesn’t matter if you’re the only one talking, or if you both just sit there in silence with your fingers intertwined; Ganyu feels whole when you’re there with her. Your presence mends any cracks in her disposition, and she breathes a soft sigh knowing you’ll always be there at the end of the day to support her. When she dozes off with her head on your shoulder, your skin feels a pleasant pressure wherever she sits flush against your side.

🐋Childe/Tartaglia🐋

• If you like to work out and keep fit, he’ll absolutely train with you and have small hand-to-hand spars with you, just to warm up and get the adrenaline pumping. Whenever you make a particular skilled or clever move, he’ll pause with his fists still in a block, press a cheesy kiss to your cheek, and hop right back into his stance, earning a giggle or amused shake of your head before you continue. When you finish, you both fall into a sit next to each other, panting from the exertion, and when you glance over at him there’s an undeniable grin of pride on his face. Amidst the sweat that drips from his brow and collects along the muscles stretched over his frame, he glows when he looks at you that way, and he brushes a sweat-slick hair aside from your own forehead before pressing a kiss there too.

• If you aren’t inclined to be particularly athletic, he’ll at least beg you to be his spotter, hoping to get some quality time with you out of it. When he’s doing reps with you overseeing him, sometimes he’ll make heated eye contact with you, or even wink just to see you splutter at the cheeky gesture. If you ever find yourself staring while he exercises, he never, I mean never, misses it. It’s like he has a sixth sense for it. In response he’ll push himself harder just to impress you or make you proud, but if that doesn’t work he’ll pause what he’s doing just to give you a breathless kiss before going right back to his routine. If you don’t let him or tease him he’ll work harder just to spite you (but all in good fun, he’ll get back at you later for it ;) ).

🐰Amber🐰

• Every once upon a Ludi Harpastum, when the carnival games are in full swing, the Favonius Outrider will forego her usual competitive spirit once or twice. This only happens when she is with you; but don’t think for a second it’s because she can’t beat you at anything that isn’t gliding (she totally can but don’t try to challenge her to a game of Pile ‘em Up). She dials it back and takes her time with the games because she wants to see the bright smile on your face when you win a prize. The dazzle in your eyes is what she lives for; it gives her a huge boost of energy, and before you know it she’s pulling you this way and that, a sparkle never leaving her eye and her hand never letting go of yours.

• After a usual patrol around the skies above the rooftops of Mondstadt, if you go to meet her at the end of her shift, she’ll be gliding down from the air, directly towards you; but don’t freak out! She just wants to land in your arms. She thinks it’s super cheesy and romantic,and loves to do it even if she ends up softly crashing into you in a pile of limbs. If you scrape a knee or catch any cuts or bruises, she’ll take the blame for it with a nervous laugh and take you back to the headquarters so she can patch you up. She’ll sit you down and get super concentrated to make sure you get the best care possible from the best outrider! Amber seals each bandage with a kiss, simultaneously sealing your fate because you can’t help but fall for her even more when she makes such sweet gestures. Plus the look on her face is just adorable when she’s so focused on taking care of you, it sparks an enamored flame in your chest that you can’t put out for the rest of the day.

💛

a/n: I just kinda wrote these as they came to mind, I’m not usually a writer and this is my first sort of written post so I hope these weren’t too horribly organized _(:3 」∠)_

Please let me know if you liked these or want a part 2 (and possible suggestions for characters to include in the next one if you want it!)
