synopsis: how they react when they find out youāve never had a date on valentineās day
based on the prompt: āyouāve never had a valentineās date?ā
characters: diluc, kaeya, mona, zhongli, xiao, kujou sara, kazuha, itto, tighnari, cyno, and childe x gn! reader (separately)
warnings: fluff, a bit of angst in some of them, these are meant to be pre-relationship but you can interpret them how you want
notes: releasing this a day early because i know iāll forget about it tomorrow lmao. also i was gonna do more for this than just a bullet scenario, but then i realized there was only like a week left until valentineās when i wrote this so i couldnāt do anything big š but i did really like this prompt so enjoy!
diluc:
his facial expression contorts into one of confusion as he wipes the inside of the glass in his hand
youāre sitting in front of him, legs crossed one over the other as they dangle over the barstool youāre on. your head rests in your hand innocently, as if what you had just said hadnāt affected you at all
youāve never had a valentineās date?
no. diluc just canāt accept it, at least, thatās what he decides as he puts the glass down and starts to remove his apron
before you know it, his hands are gripping yours, pulling you out the door and into the now sunset painted city you called your home
valentineās wasnāt over yet, and diluc was sure as hell going to make sure you got that date
kaeya:
he laughs, his smile wide and his eyes teasing as he blinks through his tears
but then he sees the way you grimace and your eyes look anywhere but at him. he sees a sense nervousness and embarrassment wash over every inch of your face
he feels awful
kaeya hadnāt meant anything bad by his laughter. truthfully, he thought you were joking with him because, how could someone so utterly beautiful in every which way, someone so full of life, someone so perfect never have been asked on a date on valentines?
you were all he had ever wanted and more, and yet you werenāt even his
apologies come flying out of his mouth for a solid two minutes before you assure him itās okay and, as expected, that stupid smirk appears on his face again
his hand is latching onto yours as he leans in close, asking you to join him on a date so he could make it up to you
and although he seems rather nonchalant on the outside, his heart is beating rapidly on the inside, begging you to accept so he could finally make you his
mona:
her mouth falls open at the sound of your response to the question
then it shutsā¦and then it opens again
meanwhile, you have to keep yourself from laughing too hard because of the way she currently resembles a fish
she huffs as she ignores your muffled laughter and tosses the pen she had been writing with to the side and gathers her papers on her desk
youāre still laughing, but her face is as serious and determined as ever
and before you know it, you were getting dragged out of her room and into yours. and your best friend tells you to get ready, as glammed up or as comfortable as you want
she was going to take you out on the best damn date of your life and maybe, just maybe, finally confess her feelings to you
zhongli:
his eyes widen in shock and he immediately sets his tea down to clasp his hands together
heās silent, thinking carefully about what to say to your response to his question. honestly, he looks like someone had just murdered his grandma
deep down, he wants to ask why
but he doesnāt want to hurt your feelings or make you feel bad never having a date on valentineās
his hand aches to reach for yours and hold it tight in his. secure it with all his adoration and love for you, make you realize heād do anything to take you on a date ā valentines or otherwise
slowly, his eyes reach back up to meet yours and he stands, unclasping his hands and extending one out for you to hold
āif you do not mind, i would like to have the pleasure of being your first valentineās date. and, perhaps if you enjoy it, you would consider allowing me to take you out again.ā
xiao:
he scoffs ā why were you even telling him this anyway? he didnāt even like valentineās day so what does this have to do with him?
yet, he doesnāt miss the way his heart seems to skip a beat before pounding furiously against his chest
was he angry? upset? emotional? sad? he wasnāt sure but, whatever it was, it was not a good feeling
he masks whatever emotion it was and displays the most neutral expression he could come up with
because, no, xiao is not jealous and most definitely does not care
yet, as much as the adeptus claimed to hate valentineās day, he couldnāt help but feel the slightest bit interested if it means he gets to spend the day with you
his eyes avoid yours and a small blush crosses his face as he offers a proposition:
āif you would likeā¦maybe you could spend the day with me?ā
kujou sara:
her arms cross as she leans sideways against the wall, staring directly at you as she scoffs
āwho wouldnāt want to take you out on a date?ā
shit
the general definitely did not mean to say that out loud
suddenly, sheās standing upright and stuttering left and right as you stand in front of her in shock
her hands are waving in front of her face sporadically as she desperately tries to explain herself
but then your silence turns into laughter and it feels like the world around her completely stops as you reassure her that itās okay and that youāre actually quite flattered
embarrassed as she is, sara sighs and stares at anywhere but you, āi know itās your favorite, so meet me at uyuu restaurant at 7 tonight. please donāt make me regret this.ā
kazuha:
he offers a gentle smile and covers your hand in his own
āthatās okay, neither have i.ā
youāre quick to ask him why, but heās quick enough to ask you the same
youāre dumbfounded, but argue that you asked him first. and he explains, saying that heās always preferred the wind and spending his time in nature rather than out on silly dates
and your eyes loose their shine a little, not only upset because you have to talk about the fact that no one had ever asked you on a valentineās day before, but also because it meant you likely wouldnāt have the chance to ever go out with him
and he notices, because thatās just how kazuha is
ājust because i said i donāt prefer to go on dates, doesnāt mean i donāt enjoy them. in fact, i would greatly appreciate it if you would join me at chinju forest later today. perhaps we could have a picnic and enjoy the scenery together?ā
itto:
he gasps loudly, almost as if heās in a horror movie and the killer just found him
it scares you at first, thinking that his sudden expression was not in reaction to your response, but then you realize itto was in fact reacting to you
itās just his dramatic nature
his hand is over his heart and his eyes are shut, acting as if heās in pain
āoh no! no, no, no! this just wonāt do!ā
and you laugh whole heartedly at him. a smile irresistibly tugs at your lips and your eyes are all wrinkled
and when you recover, ittoās looking at you with the brightest, most fondest look you think youāve ever seen in your life
and it hits you: he was trying to make you laugh so that you wouldnāt feel bad
and then heās all serious, but you can tell heās really just nervous, āuh, hey listen, i can take you outā¦but only if you want! not that you have to or anything ā no, no that would be uhā¦yeah!ā
tighnari:
āvalentineās day is a rather trivial holiday. thereās no need to be so upset about never having had a date.ā
your eyes fall to your hands as he says those words. not that he sees of course, seeing as heās turned around at his desk, writing away at some papers
āyeah, no! i get it, youāre right,ā you say. but your words donāt match your tone, and you hate how quick tighnari is to pick up on it
he sighs and turns around, still fiddling with the pen in his hand, but you donāt meet his eyes
you knew he didnāt mean it in a bad way, thatās just who he is, but you couldnāt help the hurt you felt when he spoke
and then he sighs again. although, this time a small, but genuine, smile graces his expression, āif a date is what will make you happy, then i would happily take some time off from work.ā
cyno:
heās hesitant to respond
not because he finds it appalling that youāve never had a date on valentineās day, but because heās simply not well versed in relationships or emotional comfort in general
his eyes stay focused on the ground and his fingers tighten against the barrel of his polearm
heās so quiet that youāre not even sure he heard your response
and he continues to think for a few more moments before huffing and just saying everything outright
overthinking wasnāt the mahamatraās style
so he asks you out to dinner that night. not out of pity either, just simply because thatās what cyno wanted
sure he wasnāt a fan of the holiday, but his feelings for you are certainly enough to make him want to celebrate it
childe:
his hand is intertwined with yours as you walk together down the streets of liyue
āwait so, youāve never had a valentineās date before? as in, this is literally your first one ever?ā
you donāt respond. instead, you stare at the buildings around you and all the other couples adorning the different restaurants and gift shops
childe isnāt stupid. he sees the way you get uncomfortable and instantly regrets making the comment
he speaks softly, āiām honored, you know? besides, you couldnāt get a better first date than me.ā
youāre slapping his arm in a matter of seconds, trying to hold back your laugh, but acting angry nonetheless
but then youāre laughing together and you realize, yeah, it really couldnāt get any better than him
