8k words.

notes. Starting off strong lmao- This idea has literally been stuck in my head for days! I can’t get over the idea of Tighnari in heat. Just. Just. Just. Oh my good lord. No thoughts head empty just Tighnari in heat, needy as well as confused over his ordeal. Enjoy! ✧˖°.

Tighnari considered himself a busy man. The life of a forest watcher was certainly not easy, yet he thought it was all the more fulfilling. Between training the rangers stationed with him and studying the ecosystems of the rainforests of Sumeru, the young researcher never thought over anything else. For quite a while, he was very content.

That was, until he had what, in hindsight, would be a fateful encounter.

Many would pass between Gandharva Ville, including from other lands as well as from within their main city. He was used to dealing with people, being a very educated and overall pleasant person to speak with; in fact, more so when the topic at hand regarded either the ecosystems or anything else biology related. Collei would usually direct curious folk to him so Tighnari would indulge in any questions they might have, as well as, maybe, the occasional request if it was deemed appropriate. It was, for most, a most agreeable arrangement.

It started that way, in fact. An agreeable arrangement. A young woman, an Amurta student from the Akademiya, had been stationed in Gandharva Ville so she could practice the medicine that she’d learned. After all, no doctor could graduate without eventually moving on to the nitty and gritty. It was something most in the branch were nervous about, and the scent in the air upon her first arrival was definitely noticed. Nervousness, but also excitement. The promising student was more than ready to begin her practical studies amidst the forest rangers, and Tighnari saw no reason for denying her a station. After all, it would be most hypocritical of him not to, as a researcher himself.

Besides, perhaps the scolding of an outsider would do well to his rangers. Some were too used to ignoring his (frankly, undeniably justified!) ‘harsh’ reprimands. 

She was very pleasant to work with, thankfully. A kind spirit who got along well with most, determination glowing from her very being. Tighnari worried their lifestyle would somehow be incompatible with her own, given the lack of readily available supplies in Gandharva Ville for a nearly graduating doctor, yet he found she would very easily adapt herself.

“Thank you for your concern, wholeheartedly!” She would beam with positive radiance, all the while still holding a twinge of formality in the way she addressed him. Sure, he was technically her senior, but Tighnari wasn’t one to care for such things. “However, I’ll manage. I just wish for you to count on me whenever needed!”

Oh, she was needed alright. The forest rangers were… Clumsy, to be gentle. Airheaded at best, undeniably, stupidly foolish at worst. Tighnari gave them the needed manual for a reason, yet some would find a way to consume something they shouldn’t and it would end in potential disaster being averted, or get injured upon not being careful enough in analyzing the area they were assigned to.

A few were even obtuse enough to run off into the forest and find some time to fool around in ways that were more noticeable than they’d like to think. Tighnari’s ears were as sharp as they could come, and if distance wasn’t the issue, the odors they’d return with sure gave everything away. Ah, and the avoidance of his gaze was surely a telltale sign.

To say the least, disappointment had become something deeply embedded with the job.

“That’s just a part of life.” [F/N] would calmly state, shrugging her shoulders whenever the inexperienced forest rangers were caught in anything less than savory. That had, apparently, become more of a routine between a particular couple than what their master would enjoy. “Curiosity is bound to sprout with any sort of attraction. The important thing is to ensure you’re both safe, lest we want to end up in a compromising predicament mhm?” 

“Y-Yes, miss [F/N]...” The embarrassment was palpable amongst the pair, it being amplified with the indifference their stationed doctor displayed. Surely, they thought, they were being judged by a mile away, even as the medicine student gave them the best contraceptive she had readily available before they leaped out of the spot.

“You’re far too lenient.” Tighnari’s voice could be heard as he entered her tent in their stead, catching the smile that blossomed on her face. He on the other hand crossed his arms, a small sigh leaving his lips as he shook his head. “They’re being irresponsible by doing such activities during their shifts!”

“I’m not disagreeing with you, you know…” She laughed softly, getting up before rearranging her small wooden box of emergency medication. Whilst ensuring everything was in its place, she continued to chat with him. “I just believe that tackling the issue with a more open mind will ease our way to the solution. If we shame them, they’ll just continue to try and do it in secret.”

She had to bite her tongue before she elaborated on how the female ranger had tried stealing one of the contraceptives from her small cabinet the day prior. Perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to tell Tighnari, or another scolding would shower down heavier than the rain that would usually pour into the rainforest. Yes, [F/N] thought the more open approach was definitely a better arrangement, even if a fraction of the embarrassment it could be for the couple.

“Besides, it’s a natural part of life. Sex shouldn’t be demonized.” 

“Well, with that I agree. I just-”

“Tighnari…” Her soft voice cut him off, though he didn’t quite mind. The Amurta student reached his side before placing an understanding hand on his shoulder, offering him a knowing smile. It certainly was a different dynamic from the one where they’d started off with, but the friendly relationship wasn’t at all unwelcomed. “Don’t worry, they’ll go back to normal soon enough. They’re just… Well, excuse me for a lack of better wording, but- Horny. Give them a few days to explore themselves and the high will soon die down.”

The forest ranger gave her a silent look - one his colorful irises spoke for themselves. One of a silent sigh, yet one that also agreed with her despite being tired of the ordeal. After all, Tighnari cared for their safety, and the mere thought of anyone getting frisky in the open wilderness was… Erhm, well… Conflicting, now that he thought about it. 

“Oh, anyway, since you’re here,” Her tone shifted, clear excitement and curiosity peaking through as she turned around and walked across her small tent. His gaze followed her, fluffy ears perking up as his tail swayed. He knew all too well what that tone was reserved for. “I wanted to ask for your thoughts on something. I’m trying to adapt a medicinal brew that’s originally from Liyue, but I can’t quite match this last ingredient with one that may be available in the rainforest… Could you please give me your insight?”

How could he not? The mere spark in her eye was enough to fill his chest with a sense of validation, heart swelling up. Well, that’s what he thought it was, at least. It surely was pleasant to feel respected, as well as sought after for one’s own interpretations. Tighnari couldn’t possibly deny helping such a cause.

Well, in truth, Tighnari couldn’t possibly deny her. That hadn’t occurred to him yet, though. He simply chucked it all to [F/N] being a pleasant company to be around, especially with them having so much in common. Their love of biology and the intricacies of the ecosystems was merely enough to fuel their conversations for hours, lasting way longer than the oil lamps they’d burn to light them well into the night. He found her voice pleasant to listen to, a delight as her tone would shift higher and lower between her curiosity and her contemplation to whatever he had to add to the conversation. The way her eyes would sparkle in such a wondrous way, his reflection staring right back at him as her face would focus solely on him, illuminated by the warm light. His ears would adjust carefully, slowly, shifting ever so slightly so he’d listen to every little syllable she spoke, every little sound she made as his tail wagged slowly, like a trance, unbeknownst to him as well. 

For quite a while, Tighnari was in blissful ignorance. He merely basked in her presence as one would delight in the sunlight of a spring’s afternoon, the warmth enveloping his very being as her fragrance engraved into him. The soft undertones of her natural scent became something he’d experience everyday, almost searching for it even without any clear intent, thinking of an interesting enough topic to discuss long after his legs had begun walking. [F/N]’s stay was well deep into several weeks at that point, and Tighnari didn’t even dare to think about her possible absence in the future. He’d found a companion in her, one he really enjoyed spending time with. 

A mere friend, he thought.

“I need to return to the Akademiya.” [F/N] had repeated, her tone soft as she gave him a smile smaller than usual. Still, it remained radiant to his eyes despite the sudden clench from within his ribcage.

“Oh?” He cleared his throat, trying to lift his head in a natural manner to gaze at her once more. “How come?”

He suddenly felt his tongue bitter.

“Well, I need to submit the reports I’ve been working on…” She reminded him again, waving gently the stack of papers she carried in her arms. His unfocused face didn’t go unnoticed, prompting her to stare at him with a frown that tugged at his heartstrings in a way he couldn’t quite figure out. “Tighnari… Are you alright? You seem a little-”

“I’m fine, don’t worry about me!” He reassured her, getting up from his chair before rounding up his table. He forced a smile to his face, masking the sudden sadness he felt wash over him. “Have you re-read your papers? Gotta make sure everything is spotless before being submitted.”

A silent plea, please stay a little longer, take a little more time to be close to me. Though, he himself wasn’t fully aware of it, either. 

“Yeah, spent the whole night last night reviewing it… I’m a little nervous, even though they’re just reports.” She laughed it off, his belly feeling as though it was suddenly swarmed with butterflies. “It’s not even my final paper and I’m already so stressed! What if I don’t meet the standard?”

“Are you serious?” He scoffed, hands resting on his hips before he offered her a more sincere smile. “[F/N], you’ll do great. I’ve not met a more hardworking student than you in a long time… I wholeheartedly believe in you.”

“Oh… Thank you, Tighnari.” It was her turn to feel butterflies suddenly blooming in her belly, silently praying he wouldn’t listen to the loud pitter patter of her heart. 

The two of them remained still for a few seconds, though it felt more like an eternity. His eyes stared into hers, awkwardly shifting as if trying to find the words to speak. Please stay, Let me review the papers before you go?, I think I like you too much to have you leave, were all thoughts racing through his mind, some cutting off amidst the others as he watched her tuck some hair behind her ear. And feeling his gaze on her so intently, the sudden blush forming on her cheeks was inevitable as she finally spoke again.

“W-Well I, I should get going. Sumeru City isn’t far from here, but I can’t afford to be late…” Tighnari’s tail slowly lowered at those words, though his face remained supportive for her. “I’ll try to visit if I don’t get stationed here again. I really enjoyed your company, Tighnari.”

“Likewise.”

Amidst his lovesick thoughts, he couldn’t afford to say more. There was hope bubbling within him, she could get stationed in Gandharva Ville again. His tail raised a little at that, though he still watched as she inevitably left to return to the Akademiya. Most of the other rangers wished her well before she departed, and just like that, life returned to normal. 

Her sudden absence was… Unexpectedly uncomfortable. There was a constant sense of dread within Tighnari’s stomach, one that had him wearily gaze around himself as his ears remained perked, twitching, unrested. He himself was unrested. The nights were long, the sounds of the frogs and the river under Gandharva Ville were no longer calming. It all felt suffocating, strangely quiet without the scent of the oil lamps burning besides him and [F/N], without her presence to soothe him. He’d toss and turn around his mattress, hot before feeling cold, hugging his tail close to himself before wanting to do nothing with it, getting a glass of water before trying to lay back down only to remain pacing until the sun rose again… It was getting rather stressful, ridiculous even.

It took him an excruciatingly long time to finally realize what could possibly be the cause of his mood shifts. In fact, the moment when it all clicked in his head was outright ridiculous.

For those oddly unaware, Tighnari is, in fact, a hybrid. A fennec fox hybrid, in specific. This is stated, because it would seem he himself had somehow forgotten about this very important fact for an extended period of weeks. Amidst the companionship [F/N] had provided during her stay, Tighnari had subconsciously dismissed this very important thing about himself that he’d been able to keep in mind for the entirety of his life up to that point. It may seem mostly unimportant to most, but to him, it is something that greatly impacts his lifestyle, as well as a specific decision that many would do brazenly.

The only night he’d somewhat managed to rest due to exhaustion, he found himself suddenly sweating amidst his sleep. He held his pillow tightly as his body turned, groaning quietly to himself as his mind still dozed off between the state of being awake and asleep. His breathing quickened, the guttural sounds he made being muffled as his fangs bit into the fabric of his pillow. He began profusely sweating, his mind running wild as his body shifted itself, rocking with rhythm against his mattress as he sought any sort of release from the sudden tense bubble he felt in his lower area. The pain grew tenfold, coaxing his body to jerk harder into the bed, huffing and nearly drooling as his teeth nearly ripped through the fabric in drunken pleasure. The sensation transformed to something delightful, him experiencing undeniable gratification as his hardening length pressed against whatever he rutted against. His hips shook violently almost, the strands of his hair sticking to his forehead as his temperature increased, chasing the high he sought as his mind graced him with a delightful dream he couldn’t resist.

“[F/N]... [F/N]...” He groaned against his drooled pillow, fangs biting again as he followed with a low groan. 

“Ah, T-Tighnari~” He imagined the way [F/N]’s voice would sound in such a lewd scenario, the sighs escaping from her pretty lips enough to leave him begging for more. It all felt excruciatingly real, the pain mixing with the pleasure as he ignorantly fucked the bed instead.

“[F/N]!” He repeated like a sacred mantra, rutting wildly against his mattress before the mere shock of his orgasm spasmed him awake. 

His eyes opened wide, panting before registering his teeth were wildly tearing into his only pillow. Letting it go, the ranger breathed heavily, trying to gather himself as his body shivered from the high coming to a halt. His mind still replayed the way her body glistened under his own, her gaze staring at him with an erotic sense of drunken pleasure, mouth gracing him with noises he’d never considered imagining up until that point. Tighnari slowly shifted his hands to support his weight, lifting himself from his bed before realizing the accident on his lower region. His face burst in heat as he pieced everything together, another groan leaving his throat as he slipped his fingers through his hair. 

“W… What a mess…” He mumbled, biting his lower lip as he felt the sudden urge to dig himself a hole and hide in it. The clothing stuck to him as his cock throbbed occasionally, clearly not satisfied and wanting more. Shame mixed with desire as he pondered his predicament, weighing in on if he should even attempt to relieve himself or try to ignore the yearning he felt wash over him violently.

Tighnari was in heat. He was careful to track whenever his cycles would come so he could prepare himself, both mentally and physically, but it seemed to have hit him by surprise this particular time. In truth, amidst [F/N]’s company, he hadn’t even remembered it was right around the corner. And with her sudden absence, he suddenly came to a realization this particular time it would be far more challenging to deal with it. 

With his hands gripping his hair as he sat there, everything ran a mile inside his head as he finally decided to confront his reality - not only did he desire someone, he wanted someone as his mate. This could very well go terribly bad, for his particular dna demanded him to remain with one partner for his entire life span. Would he be up for it? That answer came rather quickly, surprising even himself. Yes, he was up to it. [F/N] would be a delightful partner, he could feel it within himself. His tail wagged violently at the mere thought, desire and bliss mixing in a dangerous elixir as he felt himself throbbing yet again. Still… Would [F/N] accept him as is? He couldn’t possibly force her or anyone to stay with him, that was out of the question. Not only was it undoubtedly wrong to do so on so many levels, Tighnari was fully aware of the responsibility accepting him came with. He’d have to be with a partner that fully understood that side of him, as well of his needs and the unnegotiable commitment it required.

He could only audibly sigh, staring at his own body as he felt the pain kick back in. Nothing he wasn’t used to, yet the neediness now had a point of focus - something it would be utterly difficult to focus on his job with.

 [F/N]’s stay in the Akademiya wasn’t particularly long. She was mostly utterly joyous, for the reports she’d submitted were impeccable. Honestly, she inwardly credited Tighnari for most of her success, for his continuous support and feedback helped her work immensely. His mere existence was the sole reason she nearly begged her superior to return to Gandharva Ville, hoping to remain there as a doctor for a while longer. Sure, she found the other forest rangers lovely as well, but unlike Tighnari, she was well aware of her blooming feelings for the Forest Ranger. In truth, he made her feel like a teenager with a crush, giddy and giggly whenever she thought of him or his big fluffy tail and his pretty ears and his adorable voice and everything else- Suffice to say, [F/N] was ecstatic when it was reported back to her that she indeed had permission to remain stationed there for another fixed period.

The trip wasn’t long before she was back in familiar grounds, the smile on her face thrice as big as the one she had on her first day. She could practically hear her heart jumping out of her chest as she gazed around, silently looking for Tighnari even as his colleagues welcomed her back with open arms. All were happy to have her back, especially some who believed her presence would improve their master ranger’s mood - perhaps, some innocently wondered, she had something that could help him with his problem. Something that was silently acknowledged, but no one dared to even bring up. 

“Where’s Tighnari?” She had finally worked up the courage to ask, smile hopeful as another ranger gave her a sheepish one.

“Oh, well… He’s been mostly confined to his own tent. He’s uh… Been going through a rough period.” A male ranger explained to her, lifting his hand upon realizing the sudden panic in her expression. “He’s mostly fine, miss [F/N]. It’s a more uh, intimate matter.”

Her eyes widened as she registered what it could possibly mean, clicking rather quickly in her head. Simply mouthing an ‘oh’, she wondered if it would be appropriate to even visit him in such a state. [F/N] was not ignorant after all, and her vast knowledge in biology was a handy one when it came to fully understanding the intricacies of the body. 

Everyone quietly reassured her that he was still able to receive visits, though they were more regulated and spread out so as to not overwhelm him. As everyone gave her the brief rundown though, Tighnari was beyond jittery. He nearly twitched as he squinted his eyes shut, breathing heavily as he attempted to rationalize with his own mind. He could’ve sworn he smelled it, her scent, her lovely smell he’d come to adore, but he feared it was nothing more than his heat clouding his judgment. After all, he’d received no letter warning him of her return, so he’d figured it wasn’t happening. That was, until he heard a very familiar voice, his body jumping in his seat as his eyes stared at the entrance of his tent with pure eagerness.

“Tighnari? It’s me, [F/N]... Is it okay if I come in?”

His tail swayed wildly, his ears twitching as he felt his breath hitch. Doing his very best to keep himself in check, he cleared his throat before putting down the pen he wrote with.

“Of course, come in.” He hummed.

His eyes nearly dilated as he watched her walk in, closing the door behind her. His cheeks flushed with a faint color, eyes betraying his respect as they wandered lower. His state blurred his judgment, filling his mind with thoughts variable to the dreams he’d been receiving almost daily. The fox hybrid nearly salivated as he watched her clothing hug her figure almost sinfully, mentally slapping himself as he offered her a seat wherever she’d like. Watching as she came closer, he stalked her figure as she sat in front of him, her scent invading his mind as he fully embraced it. 

“I… Heard about why you’re here.” She spoke with pure sympathy, all the while attempting to reassure him she wasn’t in any way scared or repulsed by his situation. He simply smiled with thankfulness, listening to her every word. “Sorry, I should’ve sent a letter announcing my return. I wanted to surprise you, but had I known it would coincide with your cycle-”

“Please, it’s quite alright.” He shook his head, offering her a look that only filled her with endearment. “I’m very happy to see you again, [F/N]... Although… Are you only visiting, or are you actually coming back to remain stationed here?”

Her smile nearly made him dizzy. “The latter.” She confirmed his question, Tighnari inwardly throwing his hands in the air in both bliss and frustration. Oh, he absolutely adored the idea of her around him, but that meant he’d have to suddenly chuck up the energy to discuss something very important with her.

“Really? That makes me so happy!” He sighed with happiness, wanting nothing more than to hold her close. He watched every little move she made, the way her shoulders tensed, the way her smile grew shier, the way her legs squeezed together as she remained seated in front of him… Unlike before, he no longer had the willpower to deny himself his feelings nor his desires. 

“I’m very happy to be back, too.” She confessed, her cheeks gaining an endearing blush. Between shy glances and hidden confessions, Tighnari figured he would simply have to bulldoze through the topic. He couldn’t wait any longer, else he’d burst or regret ever doing something harsh amidst his haze.

“Since you’re here, [F/N]... I’d like to discuss something with you. Do you have some time?”

“Of course. What do you need of me?” She inquired, head tilting slightly as she offered him her ear.

He gulped, his adam’s apple bobbing before he took a deep breath. She watched as he placed his pen to the side, sighing before finally gazing up at her again. 

“I wanted to have a serious conversation with you. Don’t worry, you haven’t done anything wrong.”

She laughed softly, his eyes nearly closing as he basked in her giggle. He’d only realized he had just treated her like he’d sometimes treat his own rangers, reassuring them whenever they hadn’t done anything worth receiving a scolding for.

“It’s okay Tighnari, I wasn’t worried. Please do speak your mind.”

“Right, well… It’s regarding these cycles I have.” He began, looking for any sign of discomfort as he spoke. He saw absolutely none, as well as no surprise on her face. She was calm, cool, collected, as well as supportive to listen to whatever he had to say. His heart jumped, mind racing as he wondered what the climax of this conversation would be. “Although your presence is very much welcomed and enjoyed, you’ve left just as my, erhm… Heat began, and returned right at the height of it.”

“O-Oh.” She hummed, a blush spreading across her face as she urged him to continue.

“During your absence…” He dragged out, before finally taking a deep breath and deciding to just lay all his cards on the table. “It’s been hell, I can’t lie. I’ve been prepared my whole life to deal with these cycles each time I don’t find a mate, but I can’t deny the bubbling feelings I’ve grown for you. At this point they’re not even feelings of a small crush, they’ve developed into full blown adoration. The issue is, as I’m sure you’re aware, I’m part fennec fox.”

Nevermind the utter leap her heart was doing, [F/N] was fully listening in to him. Despite the fireworks going off in her head for knowing her love was returned, she was still concerned for his predicament. She could only wonder how uncomfortable it had been for him, especially when knowing she was the root cause of this particular cycle. 

“While most hybrids don’t have to think of this particular deal with much seriousness, me on the other hand, have to consider that-”

“Fennec foxes mate for life.” She finished the sentence for him, a sheepish smile gracing her pretty face as she felt her thighs squish together. Her heart raced inside her chest, eyeing him directly as she remained as calm as she could. She could feel his stare glue on her, looking for any sign of disapproval before he’d continue.

“Yes…” He hummed, clearing his throat before looking at her again. “Well… I fully understand that this can be a dealbreaker though, so-”

“I love you too, Tighnari.” It was her turn to be blunt, her eyes finally unmasking the pure adoration she’d held for him during the whole time. They glistened with a spark he couldn’t quite place, catching him off guard before he found the strength to finally respond back.

“A-Are you certain?” He mumbled, causing her to giggle softly. His ears twitched to whatever sound she’d bless him with, tail wagging in a livelier manner as her eyes followed with endearment. “Don’t get me wrong, that… That makes me happier than what I can even describe, but I can’t stress enough how this is a huge commitment. Once I have confirmation, there will be a switch flipped in my brain to instantly consider you as my partner, forever.”

“I fully understand that, Tighnari.” She reassured him, nodding her head as if to further confirm it to him. “I wouldn’t allow myself to fall in love with you if I wasn’t ready to commit. I know how important this is to you, but I am ready. For everything.”

The last statement was, by itself, enough to flip his switch. [F/N] watched as his eyes dilated, slowly getting up from his chair before rounding up his table. Following suit she got up as well, ready to welcome him as she watched him visibly struggle to remain cordial despite what she could only assume were urges bubbling deep within his being. Unbeknownst to her however, the hair at the back of his neck stood, his movements growing slower as he approached who his mind now suffocatingly told him was his lover, his mate. She offered him a loving smile, accepting him with open arms as he hesitantly placed his hands on her hips, noting how they were… Wide. How she was breedable. His mind was running foggy, he had to control himself for a little longer.

“I… I’m sorry if I’m moving a little fast, [F/N].” He confessed, his eyebrows furrowing as his tone nearly turned into a whine. He jolted slightly upon feeling her hands resting against his chest, her voice humming in understanding.

“It’s okay Tighnari, I understand. Like I said… I’m ready for anything.” Her hand lifted to stroke his cheek, his knees nearly giving out as his grip against her waist grew stronger. It was her turn to gasp lightly, though remaining with a confident and loving smile. He watched as she bit her lower lip, his mind groaning over how he wished to bite it instead. “I want you to know I’m willing to do whatever you need done. Will you just… Please guide me through it beforehand?”

He frantically nodded his head, the black of his pupils nearly drowning the color of his eyes as he pulled her closer to himself. Her frame felt perfect against him, her fingers stroking against his cheek still as if enticing him to move forward. With a quiet promise to explain everything to her before anything was done, Tighnari sealed it with a kiss, nearly suffocating himself in the process as he drowned in love and lust. His lips felt hot against her own, a sigh of bliss leaving her as he took the lead, experimenting as his mind lost focus. Wanting to taste more of her, his tongue peeked through, carefully carving out her lips before parting them, seeking her very own as they began to waltz together. At first slow, it rapidly grew more frantic, his hands lowering as he encaged her against himself, his own muffled groans in sync with her quiet whimpers before hearing her babble his name almost incomprehensibly.

“Tigh… Mhm, Tighnahhh….ri…” She moaned softly, his ears shooting straight up as he finally leaned back, letting her breathe. Never minding the saliva on the corner of his mouth, he eyed her eagerly, listening to her attentively. “M-Maybe not here?...”

He was blushing furiously, already feeling excited under his pants. “R-Right, I’m sorry.” He practically groaned, his hands never roaming too far from her hips before he leaned closer, kissing the corner of her lips repeatedly and with fervor. “I’ll explain everything once… Think you can keep up?”

“Mhm…” She nodded her head, taking up his challenge as his lips continued attacking her mouth with desire. And amidst fleeting kisses and licks, he explained everything that would need to be done, seeking approval and consent before it quickly became dark. 

Her mind ran wild, heart nearly bursting out of her chest as she prepared for what was to come. After everyone had gone to rest, the two of them made haste deep into the forest, hands holding together as he guided her through. Despite knowing exactly how the ordeal was done, Tighnari himself had never done anything of the sort, only further fueling his eagerness to finally release this side of himself with the one he chose. Such was very clear with the way he held [F/N] close, murmuring to her the repeated plan whilst ensuring her he’d be as gentle as he could.

“Not scared of the dark, are you?” He pressed his chest against her back, bringing them both to a stop as his lips brushed against the crook of her neck. Against his hold her figure tensed, an excited grin on her face as she stroked his hands.

“No, don’t worry. With you it’ll be fine.” [F/N] hummed in response, shivering upon feeling his teeth brush against her exposed skin.

Tighnari was nearly trembling, though he bit himself back. He was close to finally getting what he needed, he only needed to hold on a little longer. His animalistic urges were bubbling from within at the mere thought of how it would all go down, it being the only reason he managed to finally release her from his embrace.

“Alright, dear. I’m giving you a minute to run ahead.” He explained, a cheeky tone hidden underneath the husky voice he spoke with. [F/N] turned around to gaze at him one last time before she were to follow through. “Be sure to not get hurt… One… Two… Three…”

Her eyes widened upon realizing he’d already begun counting. With a brief smile [F/N] ran, her panting being listened to even as she disappeared into the night. Tighnari couldn’t help the smile from forming on his face, his voice still echoing through the forest as he continued to count the time. His ears were straight up, twitching at any little sound he heard as he felt his heart racing. As he was coming close to finally counting down the minute, he could feel his mouth nearly salivating, the scent of her arousal reaching his nose. 

“And sixty… Alright alright my love, here I come~” He practically sang, moving slowly at first as if he stalked the area for any sounds. 

[F/N] could hear him approaching, biting her lip as she smiled for herself. She couldn’t deny just how excited she was, even if the ordeal hadn’t exactly been one she’d thought she’d find herself in. Honestly, that was all the more reason for her to feel eager for him. Still… She couldn’t cop out and make it end quicker. Despite being selfish with her own desires, she still understood the assignment of ensuring his needs were also met, even if such needs included a chase that led them into a small cave.

It lasted for a little longer than what [F/N] could’ve ever predicted. Honestly, she inwardly gave herself a pat on the back, being able to evade Tighnari for far longer than what she would've ever thought possible. Sure, it might’ve been easy for a fox hybrid like himself, but it was still a feat for someone as inexperienced in such a thing as herself. It was a little difficult to navigate the forest in the dark, her pace slowing down as she realized she was close to their final destination. Her hands moved to slightly loosen her own clothing, a small step to aid in the near future as they finally rendezvous on their little den. 

“Eager, are we?” [F/N]’s voice let out a sudden yelp, arms snaking around her as Tighnari had suddenly jumped from the shadows. His face nuzzled against her shoulder as he aided her in loosening her clothing further, the grin being practically felt against her skin as he peppered her with hungry kisses. “You did so well, love… I’m actually impressed.”

“And I’ll only get better… Next time around.” She huffed whilst trying to suppress her sighs of pleasure, feeling his hands roam against her figure as he shivered against her hold. Tighnari only hummed in approval, agreeing with her before turning her to face him.

“Of course. But for tonight, seems like I’ve successfully caught you…” He breathed out, clashing his lips against her own as they ruffled against one another. He could practically feel her smile against his lips, heart swelling as he inwardly praised the skies for such an understanding partner for his needs.

“Mhm… You have…” She mumbled, her own hands sneaking up on him to help him loosen his own outfit as well. “I’m all yours, dear. Why don’t you claim your prize for however long you wish, ‘Nari?”

He shivered in such a delightful way, she herself could feel it against her hold. It was dirty, the way she made it seem so… Primal. Yet it only fueled his fire more, his urges boiling to the surface before he dragged her off to the little den they’d painstakingly prepared beforehand.

“You’re so good for me… So good. Thank you.” His whines were honestly sickeningly sweet, a stark contrast from what [F/N] had thought he’d behave like. It was as though the normally level-headed Tighnari still wished to voice his thankfulness one final time before succumbing for the time being, wanting her to know just how much he appreciated her.

“Anything for my ‘Nari…” She mumbled back, feeling as the cool air hit her bare skin. 

He felt himself drooling, tongue slithering across her neck before going down her bare skin. The makeshift blanket with their pile of clothes served as a base for them to lie down, carefully trapping his lover against his hold before he pressed himself against her. [F/N] could feel his body hot, sweating against her own as her fingers stroked through his dark locks, sighing in lust as she felt his fangs experimentally bite her collarbone. 

“I can smell just how aroused you are…” He pointed out, licking his lips devilishly upon feeling her thighs squeeze shut. His hand lowered before gently prying them open, his body shifting downwards as he left a trail of kisses against her skin. “Don’t hide from me, love. Not only is it useless to… I could just- Get drunk off your scent.”

[F/N] shivered as glanced down at him, the lack of light only adding an extra layer of eagerness for the whole situation. Her other senses were heightened with the lack of light, jumping at every little touch he offered her as his eyes practically glowed back at her.

“Tigh… Tighnari…” She moaned quietly, still a little reserved, feeling his lips reach her inner thigh as his fingers carefully worked to fully undress her lower region. “I-It’s embarrassing~”

“Nonsense, you’re absolutely divine.” He hummed in delight, his eyes leaving her face to fully focus on her now exposed pussy. By that point he licked his lips in preparation, his hands firmly holding each thigh as he prepared himself to fully dive in. 

Like a starved man, Tighnari was quick to jump in and stop any possible questions his lover could have. Even though [F/N] was already naturally aroused by their situation, the idea of tasting her juices was enough to have him leaping for it, ignoring his own lust as he drowned himself in what he quickly came to realize was the best taste he’d ever tried. His tongue moved feverishly, but not without care for every corner of her pussy as his grasp against her squishy skin tightened. His ears remained straight as he listened to the delectable moans she provided for him, strings of praises mixed with incomprehensible babbles leaving her lips as her back arched naturally with the pleasure he provided. Tighnari could quite possibly come undone then and there were he not to stop rutting himself against the floor, his hardened bulge painfully reminding him that he needed some attention to. His tongue swirled upwards to her clit, paying extra attention as he both kissed and nibbled on it, as if the researcher experimented on any little reaction his dearest provided him.

“N.. Agh… ‘Nari! That feels so good,” she heaved amidst moans, one hand lowering before grabbing a hold of his hair, careful as to not tug too hard. It was his turn to groan, a guttural sound that vibrated against her needy hole, leaking in neediness of him as it only further enticed him for more.

“More, I need more,” he huffed against her pussy, licking up any juices she offered him as if it were divine nectar he’d been blessed with. 

Even against his hold, her thighs squished around his head, trapping him into a situation he couldn’t possibly complain about. His nails dug slightly into her skin, [F/N] swearing she could hear her lover growl under his breath in what she could only assume was pleasure from the ordeal. Having never considered Tighnari would actually become pussydrunk, it was a pleasant surprise to say the least. 

“You’re so wet, so so wet my lovely [F/N]...” He purred, all the while still giving all his attention to her pussy, an experimental pump of two fingers enticing a louder moan that had the hairs at the back of his neck stand. He couldn’t wait himself, the sensation of her tight hole around his throbbing cock would absolutely derail him, he just knew it. The way her tight walls sucked his fingers in desperation was enough to have him shivering, pumping them deeper as he listened to her finally whining out her request.

“‘Nari… I can’t wait any longer!” His [F/N] moaned, pulling his head up by his hairs to watch his glowing eyes land straight to her blushing face. His expression darkening with desire, he slowly lifted himself up, her juices staining the lower part of his face as he licked his fingers clean.

“Is that so? Then tell me, what exactly do you want to interrupt me in such a way.” He hummed, tail wagging as if expecting a final confirmation before the prize was finally claimed.

With her arms wrapping around his shoulders, she pulled him close, eyes pleading by themselves before she whined. “Please Tighnari, fuck me real good. I want you to fill me up, to breed me!”

Although it was the dead of night, his eyes widened, the fox hybrid nearly choking on his spit as he was evidently caught off guard. Not exactly expecting her to use such filthy language, Tighnari quickly removed his undergarments before finally freeing his cock, pumping it eagerly while [F/N] spread her legs nice and wide for him.

“You’re such a dirty girl… But I ‘spose I should reward you for being so honest with me.”

“Mhm, please?” She pleaded, a groan leaving his throat before his lips latched onto her own. 

With both in position, Tighnari aligned himself before finally pushing his tip in, his eyes closing shut as he lowly moaned against her neck. Her tight walls sucked him in, welcoming his throbbing cock with open arms as if begging for him to fuck her into his shape. He felt her legs locking around his hips, her body jolting under him as her nails clawed at his back slightly.

“S-Shit… You’re so tight.” He sighed out, sharp teeth brushing against her still unmarked skin. His free hand roamed up, fingers slithering across one of her breasts before latching onto it. “So good, baby. You feel so good, taking me in nice and easy.”

“‘Nari, you’re so big…” She yelped, her walls stretching to accommodate him as her natural arousal coated his cock. The slight pain would periodically subside as he attempted to not wildly thrust into her, his hips battling against his brain as he gave her a moment to adjust to his sudden insertion.

His lips lowered to her chest, a trail of kisses leading up to her tit before his mouth latched onto her nipple. Sucking while gently nibbling on it, Tighnari began to slowly thrust, attempting to focus himself on maintaining a steady rhythm before he’d lose control. The way her velvety walls wrapped around him so nicely had him seeing stars, the high clouding his vision as he groaned in a sinful manner that only further helped arouse [F/N].

“Harder, Tighnari… Please, please fuck me harder!” She moaned, pleading with him as she held him tighter. 

His grasp on her tightened, finally letting himself go as his hips rolled quicker, faster, harder. This had his mate moan his name out like a sacred prayer, their lewd sounds echoing around them as his cock became coated with their own desire. Tighnari bit and nibbled all over her chest, moaning how good she felt around him all the while, how she was his, how much he loved her. His teeth left many love bites around her skin, the researcher grinning to himself whenever he felt her hole clench a little tighter around him with each hickey.

“I’m going to fill you up, love. You just wait, you’ll be so full of my cum, so full of it, oh I can’t wait…” He lifted his head before lunging at her lips, swallowing her moans as the tears pricked the corners of her eyes. 

[F/N] could swear she was seeing white, eyes rolling back as his tongue rubbed against her own, his dick being able to reach deeper and deeper and hitting all the right spots. Her grasp on him weapened, jolting at every time Tighnari thrusted forward before nearly emptying her pussy and ramming back in. It was so sinful, so lustful, so good. He fucked so good, she couldn’t even stop the babbling moans from leaving her throat as he fucked her tongue with his own. His pace increased, yet Tighnari held on, cock throbbing but still not quite close to cumming, saving all of his load to coat her insides in sticky ropes of white and claiming her for the first time of the night. 

“You want that don’t you? For me to breed you nice and good?” He lifted his head, the string of saliva falling down and sticking to her jawline as she moaned in response, his grin never leaving his face as he continued to fuck her faster. “You’ll be a wonderful mom, oh I’m sure of it, I’ll make sure by tomorrow you’re stuffed full of cum that you’ll surely be pregnant with my pups.”

“Mhm, Tighnari!” [F/N] cried out, trying to pull him back to kiss him more, instead only receiving kitten licks across her lips as his hips continued to thrust into her aching hole.

“I can’t wait… I can’t wait, fuck [F/N], you’ll look so pretty once I fill you up.” Tighnari’s hand lowered to rest on top of her belly, his heart racing as he thought of his beloved fully bred. His back shivered at the image, his pre already mixing with her juices as he imagined her pretty hole filled to the brim.

“Ah, ‘Nari, you feel so good~ I’m so close, ahnn~” 

“Are you cumming love? Then do it, right around my cock, do it, I want to fuck you through your first release.” 

Tighnari watched attentively, focusing for a sole moment as her face twisted, lips parting as her pussy clenched around him one final time. His ears were graced with the most delightful of moans, hole spasming around him wildly as it all threatened to overwhelm his own high. He groaned in response, hips still thrusting through it as he engraved her expression in his mind. She looked so fucked out, and yet one single round wouldn’t satisfy him in the slightest.

“You look, so, gorgeous,” He breathed out quickly, finally latching onto her lips once more as his own pace grew wild and unpredictable. His arms rested against the ground, holding himself up as he pressed harder against her sweating body, grinding against her as he chased his own high against her now overstimulated pussy.

“Ah, Tighnari, that’s-!” [F/N] moaned loudly, arch backing deliciously against himself as her tits squished against his chest. His teeth nibbled on her puffy lower lip, growling as he felt his cock throbbing harder, signaling he was close.

“I’m going to cum, [F/N], here comes your first prize for being such a good girl,” He huffed, grinning wildly before he moaned her name lowly, one final thrust into her abused hole kissing her on her deepest part before finally dumping his fat load deep into her.

Nails digging into his back, she moaned in pure bliss, body trembling at the mere sensation of her pussy being utterly filled to the brim. To her surprise, Tighnari continued to pump into her, fucking her through his own release as his cum coated every single corner of her hole until there was no space left. He felt his head lower against her neck before finally breathing heavily, slowly pulling out before lifting himself up to watch the scene before him.

With hearts in her eyes, [F/N] eyed him with a blissful expression, arms extended out to him as if whining for him to come back to her arms. Her legs remained apart, his cum now leaking from her as her hole protested the sudden disappearance of his dick. Her chest was sprinkled with love bites, body glistening and sweating as her hair was disheveled from their first round of many. 

“N…. Ah.. ‘Nari?” She whispered, face blushing upon gazing how he stroked himself, pumping his hardening dick vigorously as he savored the view. She felt her mouth go dry, the sudden wonder of how his cock would feel fucking her throat running through her mind. “A-Ah~”

“No wasting any seed, now…” He purred, fingers sliding easily back inside her hole before fingering his cum back into her pussy. The sound their mess made was quickly becoming one of his favorites, still rubbing himself while he studied over how sensitive she was. “This won’t do… A single round won’t be enough to ensure you’re well bred, don’t you think baby?”

“H-Huh?” She blushed furiously, feeling his weight press against her once more, aligning against her entrance yet again as his dark gaze landed right on her.

“One more time, love… One more, can you take it? Please?” He outright pleaded, promising it would only be one more, just to ensure. 

It never was just one more time, Tighnari fucking her well into the sunrise, more and more addicted to how she felt around him, as well as the image of her every hole leaking his seed.

“…so perfectly pliant and submissive for your mate, aren’t you? You just can’t wait to be bred with my knot…”

Despite their kind having sentience as compared to the beasts driven by mere instinct that roamed the lands of Teyvat, beastkin are still more animalistic, more driven by instinct as compared to regular humans. Whereas full humans preferred acting coy and playing games with one another when it came to their courtship and mating rituals, beastkin were much more direct about expressing their desires. 

As the most well-known member of the Fox Clan, most of Tighnari’s friends, acquaintances, and colleagues believe him to be the gentlemanly type of lover. With how he delicately handles flora of all kinds while protecting the forest and continuing his research, it’s not surprising that this would be his image in the minds of others.

“ ...gonna fuck that pretty pussy open and have it creaming around my knot. I’m not letting you leave until I’m sure you’re carrying my kits in your soft belly… ”

Tighnari’s warm hand settles on the skin of your tummy, pressing against the outline of his tip that appeared whenever he slid the entirety of his cock inside your velvety walls. He had you on your hands and knees as he mounted you from behind, his larger body caging your softer form beneath him. 

Despite the frantic pace of your mating, both of you utterly lost in the need to breed, the way Tighnari’s hands connected with yours, fingers intertwined even as he pumped another batch of virile cum into your hole, is nothing short of romantic.

It was further reason to justify choosing to marry your upperclassman and friend, to mate with him, and start a family with him. Although it was a suggestion from both your clans, especially when both of you didn’t have any significant others nor were you attracted to anyone at the time, it is the best decision you’ve made in your life and you don’t regret a single thing. 

“...you don’t know how long I’ve wanted to do this to you. How hard it was not to offer myself to you whenever your heat got closer and your pheromones started acting up…”

-Genshin men as fathers-

Tighnari: I see Tighnari being a sort of uptight, strict father. But it’s only because he wants his kid(s) to be safe and healthy. For example, he’s the type of dad who puts his kids through survival training, just in Case they get lost in the forest one day. He’s very good at reading his kids, knowing their likes and dislikes, stuff like that. Which makes him excellent at giving gifts to his children. He brings them handmade souvenirs sometimes. His kids turn out adventurous but cautious, with a deep love and respect for nature. He was definitely nervous to be a father, and anyone who knew him could tell. He was just more…on edge while he was waiting for his children to be born. In fact when they were newborns it wouldn’t be incorrect to refer to him as a helicopter parent. He didn’t let anyone near them for a while, besides you of course. Tighnari would have 1-4 children.

Wriothesley: Wriothesley was actually quite nervous to be a father, but he was really good at making you believe he was confident and ready for this next chapter of his life. A busy dad, he’s away at work a lot, which makes him feel regret. He wants to be able to spend more time with his family, but he also has his duties. So he writes lots of letters to his family when he has to be away for multiple days. He seems like the type of father who would teach his kids how to fight, in the hopes that they’ll never need to use what he taught them. He’s actually pretty good at discipline, despite the fact that he’s hesitant to give it. He doesn’t want to be seen as a mean, overbearing father. But he also doesn’t want them to become brats. He’s FIERCELY protective of his children. It’s scary what he can do when his kids are in danger. His kids are very well-behaved when he’s around, but a little rowdy when he’s not around. Wriothesley would have two kids. One adopted and one biological.

Can I request playing with tighnari's ears while cuddling and hearing him purr for the first time?🙏

(Sfw) Petting his Ears

Characters: Tighnari x GN!Reader

Warnings: pinch of suggestiveness at the end

WC: ~0.7k words

"Tighnari, don't you have research you wanted to work on?"

"Mn, I do. But that can wait."

The normally dutiful forest ranger has been reduced to a lazy slump today. One to rise with the sun, Tighnari has instead elected to stay in bed with you, laying on top of you with his face buried in your chest. It's not an unwelcome moment of course-- any time you can spend with him is cherished.

Clad in a thin shirt and loose pants, you can feel the warmth of his body against yours, and the familiar hum of vitality that courses through his veins, no doubt a result of his dendro vision. His tail acts like a small blanket, covering your legs in a thick coat of fur.

"You said it was important! That's why you said we couldn't visit Port Ormos to go shopping-- you didn't want to delay for a single moment," you complain.

Tighnari sighs, and you giggle from the ticklish feeling of his breath on your chest.

"We all need a break some days. I've decided to choose today!"

You roll your eyes, bringing your hands up to play with his hair.

"Fine, but don't complain if you get an earful from your fellow rangers!"

You leave it at that, curling strands around your fingers. A comfortable silence fills the room once more as you both relish in each other's company. You glance down, noticing the way Tighnari's ears twitch in front of your face. Out of curiosity, and in a trance, you carefully move your hands up to touch them.

Instantly, Tighnari tenses, and his breath hitches. You jerk your hands back in surprise, glancing down at him. Despite his clear tension, he says nothing, waiting for your next move. Taking his silence as permission, you resume touching his ears, methodically rubbing your fingers along the coarse fur and the smooth inner ear.

As this goes on, the fox-hybrid's body starts to shake, and he presses his face harder against your chest, forcing a gasp out of you. Tighnari's tail curls up tightly, exposing your legs to the bare air, and you feel his clawed hands grip your shirt tightly. A part of you wants to stop, not wanting to make your boyfriend seemingly more uncomfortable, but the other, more teasing side of you, enjoyed seeing him act like this. Embarrassed and like a nervous kit-- it was a sight you didn't see often.

And then you heard it. A soft rumbling sound, accompanied by steady vibrations against your chest. Purring.

You both freeze in place, surprised by this new development. Tighnari can feel his skin get clammy in anxiety as he realizes what he's done. He curses himself mentally-- he hadn't planned on letting that slip out. His attempts to tense his body were futile.

"Y-you didn't hear anything. That wasn't-" Before he can try to defend himself, you're going back to rubbing and petting his ears, cooing in delight. A surprise attack that has him devolving into a cuddly pile as he lets more purrs slip out.

"You're so cute Tighnari~ I can't believe you purr! Why didn't you tell me sooner?" you gush over him, not letting him get a word in edgewise. Not like he could talk even if he wanted to-- your fingers are tactical, brushing over all of the most sensitive spots, turning him into mint jelly.

What normally was a source of agitation when touched by others, was now a weapon of dominance against him, if the rhythmic movements of his tail on the bed were any indication. He feels like a kit, unable to control his more animalistic urges. Perhaps I should've gotten out of bed earlier. I've been reduced to something short of a slime!

He peeks up at you and any thoughts of stopping you dissipate like steam off a flaming flower. Seeing your elated, childlike wonder-filled expression at the new discovery makes him less willing to pull away and scold you for touching his ears. You were just too damn happy about this, and if there's one thing he prioritizes over his dignity, it's your happiness. He sighs and buries his face back into your chest, allowing you to continue unhindered.

He supposes he'll let it slide this time. He just hopes you can take responsibility for the feelings that arise as a result of this intimate moment. It is getting close to that time of the year after all.

I like to think that depending on what vision you have, your body changes/reacts accordingly. After all, years of manipulating the elements have got to change your physiology somehow, right? So for dendro users, they just radiate energy. If you stand next to them, it's like taking a breath of fresh air and feeling invigorated. They feel alive if that makes sense.

Requests (both sfw and nsfw) are open~!

Instincts (Tighnari x Pregnant reader)

Your attention was drawn to the sound of the front door opening as Tighnari made his way into your shared home, a basket of what looked like herbs and various plants in his hands. He smiled as he spotted your figure laying on the couch, a soft look in his eyes as he made his way over to you, setting the basket on the nearby table. His eyes wandered, landing on your stomach, which was becoming swollen. Tighnari had always been soft in your relationship, but he seemed to take it to a whole other level when he found out you were pregnant. He was always insisting that you let him take care of anything, even if you weren't that far into your pregnancy. He would clean the house, cook you food, and buy you whatever food you were craving, on top of his job as a forest watcher. You were always trying to get him to take a break, being able to tell that he was tired, but he would just smile and tell you not to worry about him. You found his habits sweet, and you knew that he did them all to take care of you and your unborn child.

One of the habits you noticed since you had found out you were pregnant was the fact that he would come home carrying a basket full of herbs, mushrooms, and various other plants that he had foraged from the forest where you both lived nearby. He would always tell you what benefits they had, and reassure you that they were safe. Of course, you trusted him, but would always tell him that he didn't need to worry about you so much. Though, no matter how many times you said things like that, he would continue to bring back any plants he knew would be healthy for you. He was doing the same this time, explaining which plants he had gathered this time, all with a soft smile on his face. He gently placed a hand on your stomach, imagining what your child would look like once they were born. You could remember the look on his face when you told him he was going to be a father, the smile that appeared instantly as he pulled you into a hug as he told you how happy he was.

"Tignari" you said, causing him to look over at you, he lay next to you. Keeping a hand on your stomach in a protective manner. Seeing him like this always made you smile. He placed a gentle kiss on your forehead as he ran a hand through your hair, a content smile on your face.

"You don't have to keep doing this, the baby and I are fine" you tried to reassure him.

"I'm just making sure it stays that way" he commented, you sighed to yourself as you leaned your head against his chest, soon falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat. The next morning, you were once again awoken by Tighnari entering the house, carrying more plants and herbs.

First impressions die hard.

You met Tighnari a long while ago, back when he was less of a renowned researcher, and more of an awkward young boy who loved to roam the forests in search of nothing in particular and hadn’t quite grown into his ears yet. He was smaller, as were you, and those big, sprouting ears atop his head looked fake if you stared at them for too long. Back then, you’d almost been convinced he was wearing a little costume. . . Until you saw them twitch for the first time, and then all such thoughts were thrown out the window.

Still, they were almost comical. When he, in all his youthful inelegance, all but tumbled over himself to check on your well being after you’d managed to land yourself in a precariously sticky situation, they shivered with worry (even for a stranger.) —A stranger who would become his “assistant” in the future— but a stranger nonetheless.

That was the first time you met Tighnari. Your right foot had been swallowed up by a sopping hole in the earth, which sent you falling directly onto your butt. At your age, panic set it fairly quickly, and you were less hurt by the odd way your ankle had bent, and more startled by the suddenness of it all. Whatever it was inside that hole had you in a deadlock, and the more you struggled, the less it seemed to want to let you go. But you were young and scared, and picking up on the subtle patterns wasn’t exactly going to be your forte in a moment like that. Instead, you found yourself tugging on your own leg, and when that didn’t work, you anchored yourself with your arms and your one viable foot, attempting to use the leverage to pull the other from the hole.

Needless to say, —it didn’t work. Fear set in quickly enough, and you found yourself crying. Though such a reaction certainly wasn’t irrational, it was painfully unhelpful. Or maybe it wasn’t. After all, it was thanks to those sniffles and muffled sobs that you were able to attract the attention of a certain someone with a keen sense of hearing and a (thankfully) kind heart.

Tighnari tracked you down from your whimpers quickly enough, and was somehow able to calm you down through his flustered pleas to stop crying and a jumbled explanation of “I can help!” —And help he certainly did.

“J-Just relax! Flailing around like that will only sink your leg farther in!” He stammered, reaching out to grab at the middle of your calf, but pausing and jerking himself away just before he made contact.

“Can I touch you?”

You all but froze at the ill-worded request, but quickly concluded that he had no malintentions. Sure, maybe it was unwise to judge a book by its cover, but those big, twitching ears paired with his shaky hands and his doe-eyed stare that watched you nervously as he waited for approval told you that he wasn’t planning anything nefarious. Plus, you really did need the help. . .

After an affirmative nod, he took hold of your calf, lithe fingers encircling a part of it with a surprising level of gentleness. His touch was akin to the soft pitter-patter of butterfly wings against fresh, spring air.

“Your muscles are tensed up,” he said, sounding almost clinical about it. “Relax them and let your foot hang limp.”

“A-Alright,” you said.

Somehow, despite your nerves and the anxiety flooding through your veins, you managed to do as he’d requested. From there, the removal process was easy, and if you hadn’t been so elated, you likely would have been more ashamed about the tears stains on your cheeks.

Still, Tighnari didn’t mock you for it. Not back then, anyway. . . Years later, that event would be fair game to poke fun at you for, but at the time, he was kind and gentle, even when his fingers shook as he wiped tears from your undereyes. He asked if you were okay, laughed with you (not at you) about the unfortunate loss of your shoe, and walked you out of the forest safe and sound.

It wasn’t until after you parted that you realized you hadn’t caught his name.

It would be quite a while before you ever saw Tighnari again. He’d grown both several inches, and into his large ears that seemed much less disproportionate by the second meeting. He also seemed to have matured quite a bit, —walking with more confidence, and appearing to be much more comfortable in his own skin. Unfortunately, you didn’t have much of an opportunity to admire said changes.

The forest has always been both undeniably beautiful and horribly intense. Creatures big and small lurk just around the corners, and some of them are painfully easy to aggravate. Even glancing in their direction can set some of them off, and that doesn’t bode well for curious eyes.

You learned that lesson the hard way.

On your way home from a taxing day, you decided that it would be a good idea to take a shortcut through the thick of the forest. It wasn’t the most familiar route, but you’d taken it several times over the years, and figured that you could manage it before late evening. That assumption likely would have panned out just fine if not for a sudden detour.

With time to spare and nothing to lose, the sound of a trickling stream somewhere off in the distance enticed you closer and closer. You thought it would be nice to sit along the land with your feet in the water for a bit, enjoying the natural beauty of Sumeru. Despite having grown up there, it came as no surprise to you that there were many areas you’d left completely unexplored, and though you weren’t much discontent with that, you also didn’t think a little adventure would hurt. After all, it was a straight shot through some thicket and trees to return to the “path” that weaved through the forest, and you made mental markers of the landscape on your way.

Getting lost wasn’t really the issue this go around, though. . .

As you sat along the bank of the stream, shoes off with your toes just barely submerged in the cold water, a sudden splash from somewhere farther up had your shoulders tensing and your head whipping to the side. A trio of Spindocrocodiles were angrily making their way towards you, their tails sputtering up water ferociously as a yelp escaped your lips.

You’d seen them before, but always knew to keep your distance. They were known to be aggressive, but typically wouldn’t cause any troubles if you left them be. Today, however, just your presence within their general vicinity alone was enough to tick them off and rouse them from their places upstream. In spite of their stubby appendages that were clearly ill-equipped to function on land, they were no less frightening as they bounded over one another, bumping into each other to see who could take a chunk out of you first.

Those razor-sharp teeth were truly nothing to sneeze at.

This time, both of your shoes were lost to the forest. You scrambled to your feet, forgetting all about them in your rush to get away. Having heard your little yelp from not-so far away, as well as the commotion in the water, Tighnari rushed to find the source of the sound and was shocked to find you of all people. You may well have changed since he last saw you as well, but he could never forget those eyes.

“This way!” He shouted, and you had little time to process who he was or why it was significant before you were bounding off in his direction.

He wasted no time, reaching out to grab your wrist and promptly leading you through the bushes and branches until the ill-outlined path was in sight.

“You really don’t know how to stay out of trouble, —do you?” Tighnari questioned, sounding a little breathless from the sudden sprint.

“I-It’s not like that!” You insist. “Maybe it’s your fault! You always seem to be around when these things happen!’

His eyes widen and the ears atop his head that now look much more appropriate there twitch a bit in surprise.

“M-Me?” He stammers, “If anything, you should be thanking me! This is the second time I’ve stepped in to save you!”

“You’re giving yourself way too much credit this time,” you say, shaking your wrist free of his grip to cross your arms over your chest stubbornly, “I would have run whether you told me to or not.”

“Knowing you, you would have run through the forest and gotten lost,” Tighnari refutes, mimicking you by crossing his own arms over his chest as well.

“Or maybe you would have gotten your foot stuck in another hole.”

Your jaw slacks a little at his mention of that.

“You don’t know me at all,” you answer, “—even if that did happen, I know how to take care of it myself this time anyway.”

“Are you sure about that?” He cocks his head to the side with a look of disbelief crossing his soft, rounded features.

“Yes,” you reply curtly, “I am.”

Silence reigns for a short while before Tighnari breaks it, returning his arms to their proper places at his sides.

“Seems you’ve lost three shoes to the forest now,” he says pointedly.

You glance down at your bare feet, sighing at the sight of them.

“One really was enough,” you mutter. “I really liked those shoes.”

“In any case, I’m Tighnari,” he says, reaching his hand out for you to shake. “If I’ll be acting as a guide for you again I figure we should get to know one another.”

Somehow, you find it within yourself to not give him a snarky response. Instead, you take his hand in an awkward handshake. His skin is soft and warm, and his eyes all but sparkle in the dying sunlight that filters in through the breaks in the fickle canopy of leaves above.

“Y/n,” you introduce yourself begrudgingly.

But as it turned out, he wasn’t that bad. 

The third time was just plain overkill, in your opinion. By then, you were fairly certain that Tighnari really was some kind of bad luck charm. 

In your defense, whoever thought it was a brilliant idea to set a trap for prey along a forest pathway was both stupid and wrong. Seriously. . . Who does that?

You were innocently walking along, attempting to decompress from a stressful morning with a stroll through nature, only to find yourself trapped in a deep, man-made hole when a stretch of leaf covered dirt ended up being nothing more than a trap. One moment you’d been striding along, minding your own business, and the next you were breathless at the bottom of some ugly little pit.

To add to the annoyance of it all, you didn’t even have time to try and get out yourself. As if he’d been watching from the trees, Tighnari was kneeling down on the ground above you, golden earring dangling in the late afternoon sun as he peered into the hole you’d found yourself in. He knew it was you from the pitch of your sudden scream, and an amused smirk clung to the corners of his stupid lips.

“Your luck is absolutely abysmal,” he laughed.

“I’m aware,” you grumbled in return.

He was amused by the situation you’d found yourself in, but it was clear that he was concerned for you beneath it all. Sure, he didn’t know you all that well, but he felt a sense of responsibility for you. The forest isn’t easy for most to navigate, after all. Heck, it hadn’t been easy for him to get around in for a very long time, and he’d found himself in plenty of unpleasant situations as a result of its vastness. 

“Would you like some help?” He asked.

You didn’t have the nerve to be acerbic, so you folded easily. You just wanted to get out of that dumb hole.

“Yes please.”

Upon seeing your dejected expression, Tighnari began to feel quite bad about teasing you the way he had. It was irrational to think his presence was poison in your well, watering your luck down to nothing the moment you stepped into the thick of the forest, —but a part of him began blaming himself for the unfortunate mishaps you’d been experiencing over time. It was a small part of himself that he could easily stifle with logic, but it gnawed at him nonetheless.

“Can you stand?” He asked.

It took you a moment to contort your body and make your way to your feet, but you managed it easily enough. The hard part had yet to come. Even perched on the tips of your toes, you’d have likely been screwed if not for Tighnari. He reached one hand out to you, the other digging into the dirt in hopes of steadying himself for what was to come.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” You asked, tentatively reaching up to grasp at his palm and fingers.

He held your hand with a firm grip, but it was gentle in many ways in spite of that. In fact, many things about Tighnari had always been undeniably gentle.

“I’m not as fragile as I might look,” he brushed your concerns away swiftly. “Just reach for solid ground as soon as you can and use it to pull your body up, alright?”

There didn’t seem to be another available option, so you nodded in confirmation and let Tighnari count to three before he began yanking at your arm. It wasn’t the most pleasurable experience, but it worked well enough in the end. Though his fingers dug into your skin uncomfortably, you grasped at the overhanging edge of the hole the second it was in reach, using the bulk of your strength to force your body up and over. Even if it didn’t take long, you let out a deep breath the moment you collapsed onto the dirt. That was a lot of energy to expend in such a short period of time.

With a huff, you turned to lay on your back, head resting uncomfortably against the ground. Tighnari could have easily joked about pulling your feet away from the hole a bit more, lest you find yourself tumbling back down in it, but he chose not to, Instead, he laid back beside you, turning his head to look your way.

“I hope I didn’t hurt you,” he said, reaching out to take your wrist into his tender hold.

His sudden sympathy had your lips pursing together, heart skipping a little beat in the cavern of your chest.

“. . . you didn’t,” you mumble softly. “Thank you for helping me.”

As the old story goes, —the rest was history. Tighnari insisted on taking you back to his little research lab just a ways off to keep an eye on you for a bit, and that day, your perception of him completely changed. As he worked, you found yourself lost in every moment, in every flick of his wrist as he jotted down notes along scraps of parchment.

He found that you weren’t half bad to have around. Despite your limited knowledge of the forest, you were surprisingly adept at keeping up with his ramblings, and he appreciated that. Your interest in his studies was practically everything he could have asked for. You didn’t stop him or cut him off when he began rambling about mushroom temperaments or the medicinal properties of various Sumerian regional specialties. You sat and listened, engaging with every fun fact he threw your way like a kitten pawing at a ball of yarn.

Tighnari definitely wasn’t one to fall easily, —but he was no fool. The way his heart stuttered upon seeing your captivated smile was anything but typical. The warmth that pooled in his stomach the moment you took the initiative to ask him questions was special. It wasn’t just general excitement. It wasn’t something he could write off as an anomaly to check back on in three weeks time.

This was different. 

You were different.

He’d have been a fool to ignore it, —and far be it from Tighnari to ever willingly play the role of court jester. Instead, he sought your presence again, again, and again. Hours passed in what felt like the blink of an eye, and he couldn’t possibly ignore how easy it was to bounce off you, or how simple it was to keep the flow of conversation moving with you. Even the moments of silence were comfortable, and he never felt pressured by your curious gaze as you watched him go about his duties.

Those daylight hours bled into dusk, and he nearly asked you to stay the night before coming to his senses and realizing that such a proposal so soon would likely be misinterpreted and off putting. He didn’t want to scare you off, so he walked you to the edge of the forest, taking you the long way round.

As you walked alongside him, he pointed out various greenery and told you of their origins or of their healing properties.

Tighnari took your departure harder than he thought. He felt ridiculous for mourning the loss of your presence after no more than a day’s worth of light, —but he couldn’t help himself. You’d woven your way into his heart so easily, like it was child’s play. He was putty in your hands the moment he watched you walk away, and you didn’t even know it.

“Tighnari!” You call out, slipping inside his little research lab with the basket of sunsettias he’d requested just a bit before.

Working under him has been an interesting experience, to say the least. Especially because it just sort of happened. It was nothing you’d actively signed up for, but by the time he first referred to you as his “assistant,” you were so attached to his general presence that you hardly cared if he were to have you do small tasks for him here and there. In fact, you’re quite thankful that he chose you to fill the position! It’s given you lots of interesting opportunities to experience sides of Sumeru you didn’t think you’d ever get to partake in so intimately, and by no means did Tighnari skimp on knowledge to offer you.

It also doesn’t hurt that he’s exceptionally adorable. His ears twitch when he’s excited, his tail swishing back and forth until he remembers that it’s there and does his best to quell it to save himself the embarrassment. He’s loveable, even when he’s doing nothing at all. And you. . . Yeah, maybe you’ve come to love him just a little too much.

It was so easy to fall for him, though. One minute he’d been explaining the various sleeping habits of various fauna, and the next, your heart had been in the palm of his gentle hand, —the ones he holds quills with as he scribbles down important (and unimportant) notes.

“Tighnari?” You repeat when you don’t hear his expected response. “Are you here?”

It appears not.

Though Tighnari did mention he’d be stepping out for a bit just before you headed off, it seems strange to you that he hasn’t returned by now. You’d been a bit slow at locating sunsettias this time, so your task had taken a bit longer to complete than usual, and Tighnari knows the forest like the back of his hand. Anything you can get done quickly, he can finish in what feels like the blink of an eye. He’s efficient and fantastic at what he does, so for him to still be gone. . . It’s raising multiple red flags, to say the very least.

You sit the basket of sunsettias down on the floor beside his desk, quickly rushing off to look for him. Even if it’s nothing, you’d much rather be safe than be sorry. When it comes to Tighnari, being safe will always be the superior option.

After all, you know quite well what wrenches the forest can throw your way, and having been on the receiving end of it many times over, you’re not keen on leaving Tighnari to suffer the same fate on his own. He could obviously handle most things that would come his way, but what kind of assistant would you be if you left him high and dry?

Better yet, what kind of friend would you be if you did such a thing?

“Hey, Tighnari!” You cup your hands around your mouth to amplify your voice, calling out to him through the trees in hopes that his keen ears will pick up on your voice.

He hears you, but stays quiet. Crumpled on the ground with a gash across his hand, the flowers he’d collected left scattered all around him, —he’s not exactly keen on letting you see him this way. . . It feels humiliating that he of all people would have found himself in a situation like this. He should have known better! He did know better.

“Tighnari!”

Guilt hits him like an angry Sumpter Beast when he recognizes the worried edge that clings to your call. You care, and he knows that you do, —but with what little humility he has left, he’d rather not be seen like this.

He considers standing up and slipping through the trees, making his way back to the lab to patch himself up in record time before you make your way back there as well, but all hope of that goes out the window when the ears atop his head jerk, alerting him of your sudden approach.

“There you are!” You say, but the relief that floods through you quickly reverts back to worry as you catch sight of the blood on his hands.

“What happened, Tighnari?” Comes the dreaded question, —the one that he’s overwhelmingly tempted to lie in response to.

But it’s you. . . And he just can’t bring himself to be anything less than truthful when it comes to you.

“I was overzealous,” he sighs. “I saw a Rishboland Tiger cub nosing around, and from where I was standing, it seemed to me that it was limping. I approached it slowly, but when it didn’t immediately run away, I assumed I was right about the injury and reached out to let it sniff my hand.”

He glances down at his injured hand, and you can easily infer the rest without him having to say it.

“Why didn’t you answer when I called for you?” You question, gently taking his hand into yours in order to gauge the seriousness of the wound. “With those ears, there’s no way you didn’t hear me.”

“I. . .” He starts, but quickly swallows the words down.

You wait just in case he has anything to say, but when he stays quiet, you think it best to leave it be. If it was something he wanted to reply to, he’d have done it. His hesitance speaks volumes, and you won’t be the one to force an answer out of him. 

“Come on,” you say instead, reaching out to gather the scattered flowers he’d dropped in the scuffle. “Let’s head back to the lab. I can take care of you there.”

You offer him help to aid in standing, and he takes it without complaint (or thanks.) His cheeks are perpetually red, and you know that he’s feeling ashamed of himself for having wound up in this position, so whatever happens from there, you’re more than willing to give him more lenience than you otherwise would have afforded to him.

“I can take care of it myself,” he objects, “—you don’t have to go to any trouble. I brought this on myself.”

“Oh come on Tighnari, aren’t you the one who always says I owe you for the times you’ve helped me?” you remind him.

He parts his lips to insist that this is different, but the words falter on the tip of his tongue. He swallows them down.

“. . . yeah,” he shrugs, “I guess so.”

The tentative way he holds his hand on the trek back is depressing, but it’s also cute. It reminds you of the way he’s held your wrist a few times here and there, as if he were certain of himself, but worried that if he squeezed too hard you’d fall apart at the seams right in front of him. Looking at him now, you can relate to such a worry. He seems so vulnerable, both physically and emotionally, and the last thing you want to do is take advantage of that.

He sits and waits with no complaints as you rifle through the jars around his desk. You know what you’re looking for, but Tighnari is the only person who knows the true methods to all of his madness, and though you’ve watched him work for months now, it’s all too easy to forget what jars house what now that all the options are seemingly staring back at you with eyes of their own. It’s like they’re scrutinizing your performance, and it’s driving you up the wall.

Tighnari, on the other hand, makes no move to assist or offer criticism. There’s a sense of pride welling up within him. You’re not the fastest, but you’re not flailing. It’s just that you’re scanning your options to be certain you’ve obtained the correct ones.

“Can I see your hand?” You inquire.

Wordlessly, he gives his injured hand over to you. His trust in you is immeasurable and unwavering, and it makes your heart swell.

Under the natural light that pours in through the windows, you’re able to assess the wound better. It’s nothing terrible, but you’re certain that it hurts, and when you make the first move to use fresh, clean water to clean it off, you hear Tighnari hiss under his breath. You weren’t too rough by any means, and you were likely more gentle than he would have been with himself, but the area is freshly agitated and just about anything is enough to irritate the nerves.

“Sorry,” you mumble, eyes flickering up to meet his gaze.

“Don’t apologize,” he replies sternly. “You know what you’re doing.”

“This is the paste we made last week,” you continue without missing a beat, urged on by the little nod he offers you in response. “It’ll stop any swelling, numb most of the pain, and kill any bacteria in the wound. It’ll make it easier to wrap it up at the end, as well.”

He already knew that, of course, but he’s proud of your knowledge retention nonetheless. Tighnari doesn’t move a single muscle as you dip your finger into the yellowish paste made of natural ingredients each of you helped to gather. As you apply it as softly as you can whilst still being thorough, he clenches his jaw, but refrains from making any noise.

“You’ve learned a lot,” he says instead, a smile tugging at the corners of his pretty mouth. “I’m proud.”

There’s been many times when he’s felt that way over the months, but this is one of the few times he’s actually said it. Of course, you always feel it, —but there’s no denying that it’s a completely different feeling to hear him actively say it.

Tighnari’s words are so genuine that they make little pin-pricks stab at your waning heart.

“I’ll grab the bandages and that should do it,” you tell him, attempting (and failing to) bite back a happy smile.

You snatch them up from one of his drawers, closing it behind you with a little thud. Turning back to him, it’s obvious that the atmosphere has shifted, although nothing tangible has changed. His gaze meets yours, and your heart sings for him. He’s strong, yet vulnerable and gentle. Stern, but welcoming and tenderhearted. And above all else, Tighnari is warm.

As you take his hand into your own again, little trickles of electricity fire off through your veins. You’re hyper-aware of everything he does, from the way he swallows quietly to the fluttering of his lashes as he blinks.

He watches closely as you wrap the bandages along his hand, but his stare isn’t scrutinizing in the slightest. If anything, he’s admiring your handiwork and the precision you’ve managed to accomplish with every fold.

“That. . .” you pause for a second, tucking a loose end into the previous layers to keep it secure, “should do it. Does it feel okay?”

Tighnari bends his fingers carefully. The bandages don’t budge, nor do they dig uncomfortably into his skin.

“It’s perfect,” he assures you, and you breathe an internal sigh of relief.

You’re perfect, he wants to add, but can’t find the courage to manage it.

But a part of Tighnari knows that now’s as good a time as any. You’re so close, and you smell of flowery medicinal paste and the sunsettias you’d gathered that now sit beside his work desk on the floor. He reaches out to cup your cheek with his newly bandaged hand, matching the curve of your face. You still, muscles tensing a bit, —not because you’re scared, but because you’re worried that you’re getting the wrong idea. Although you're not certain what other ways this could possibly be interpreted.

“T-Tighnari. . .”

“Can I. . .” he pauses, swallowing down the lump that tries to form in the back of his throat, “—can I kiss you?”

For a moment, you’re completely at a loss for words. You know what you want to say, but it takes a few moments to muster up the courage. Tighnari doesn’t rush you, doesn't act before you’ve given him permission, and you know you’re free to say yes or decline.

“Y-Yeah,” you confirm, “please.”

Any worry that you might come across as a bit too desperate have gone out the window, and Tighnari certainly didn’t take it that way. He’s more elated that you said yes than anything else.

He leans in and places his lips over yours. His lips are soft and he tastes of nothing in particular, but there’s an edge of sweetness to his motions that floods through all your senses. Your body relaxes into his, tension dissipating as he soothes you with his kiss. Your heart hammers away loudly, but you’re too caught up in the moment to worry about whether he can feel it against him or not. Tighnari was the one to ignite it, and he’s the one to break it as well. His forehead comes to rest against your own, and he sighs ever so softly in content.

“Thank you,” he mumbles, —and somehow, you doubt he’s just referencing the bandage on his hand.

You say nothing, but when you breathe through the fluster and bury your face in the crook of his neck, he holds you just a little tighter.

The Promises Which Hold Us Together

Pairing: Tighnari x Reader Warnings: fluff, slight angst with a happy ending Word Count: ~3.8k A/N: dedicated to @stellumi bc we both are living off of tighnari and cyno content, and thank you to @theblueskyofthedawn for beta reading and providing suggestions!!

I. To look out for one another Those who are unfamiliar with the Avidya Forest and its diverse ecosystem can always rely on the Forest Watchers to ensure their safety. Serving as the homebase for the rangers, Ghandarva Ville is almost always abuzz with activity. There are reports to be finished, experiments to be conducted, and a whole list of commissions to be completed as soon as possible. 

“As soon as you’re done taking pictures of the blooming Lunar Lotuses, have them filed away in my office. Then take out the notes to my latest experiment and leave them on my desk.” Tighnari walks swiftly across one of the many hanging bridges, a trainee ranger nodding quickly as they note down what he’s saying. “Oh, and when you’re finished with those, find Collei and do a quick sweep of the perimeter. Note any abnormalities and signs of any Withering Zones, but do not engage.” The poor trainee could barely get a word in, stumbling over their steps as Tighnari’s eyes remained laser focused on his destination: his office. He isn’t usually like this, tense and rushed to get to places, but with the amount of work on his plate he’s had no choice but to enlist the help of the anxious trainees who simply want to graduate and become fully fledged Forest Watchers.

“Whoa there, slow down.” Tighnari nearly crashes into a figure who steps into his way. You stand in the middle of the path, hands held out in front of you and eyes raised as you look between a flat-faced Tighnari and an anxious trainee.

“(y/n).” The head of the Forest Rangers clears his throat, eyes darting away from you to look around before they’re finally brought back to your face. “Did you need something?”

“Actually, yes. I’ve been looking for you.” You put your hands on your hips, staring him down with a pointed look. You can’t help but let your eyes drag up to his ears, taking quick note of the way they twitch, too alert to every little sound around. He’s too on edge, too stressed, and while you’d never outright tell him, it’s part of your job, as his friend, to take care of him when he falls into these moods. “I left something for you in your office, try to check it out when you can?” You jut your bottom lip out just slightly and nearly grin with success when you see the way Tighnari’s shoulders begin to relax and his ears perk up at the mention of you leaving something for him. 

“Right, of course, I’ll go see it right away.” He turns to the trainee but you’re quicker, tugging the young ranger towards you and throwing an arm around their shoulders.

“Don’t worry, you’ve given them more than enough to do.” You begin to turn their body in another direction, gently trying to push them away. The trainee’s eyes flicker nervously between you and Tighnari, almost as if they were afraid that an argument might break out for you. But to their surprise, they watch as a soft sigh leaves Tighnari’s lips and he hums in agreement, nodding for the trainee to begin their tasks.

You watch them scurry away and bump your shoulder against your oldest friend’s. “Go easy on them. And take a break, you deserve it.” You make your leave, unaware of the way Tighnari’s stare lingers on your retreating figure a bit longer than it should. And when he enters his office, he finds a neatly wrapped botany book of the latest edition sitting on his desk. And to his delight, you’ve made little notes along the margins, filled with inside jokes and pokes at the Akademiya. Perhaps he’ll think of something to give you in return.

II. To reassure one another “Master Tighnari! I can’t find (y/n) anywhere, I’ve searched all over Ghandarva Ville and asked around, but no one’s seen them!” Collei’s voice rises higher and higher in pitch as she bursts into his office, eyes wild and chest heaving up and down, a clear sign that she truly has been running all over the place. “They came back from their expedition yesterday looking upset but I wasn’t sure what to say to them. I thought I could talk to them today but no one’s seen them!” The young trainee continues to ramble, hands flying around nervously as Tighnari patiently waits for her to finish. When she finally does, with a heavy exhale, he offers her a small, but reassuring smile.

“I’ll go look for them, don’t worry.” He pats her head, “I’m sure everything is okay, perhaps they simply needed some time alone.” Already, he’s thinking about all the places you might be as he ushers Collei out of his office, sending her back towards her room so she can get some rest. He waits for a moment before turning away, quietly slipping away from the bright lights of Ghandarva Ville to the grassy outskirts. He follows a familiar path, one he’s walked down countless times until he approaches an old moss covered hut with a light flickering on from the roof. He finds you there, sitting with your legs hanging over the edge, back towards him when he reaches the top of the ladder. You’re half leaning against a crate, shoulders drooping as you stare ahead at Sumeru City. 

“You’ve given everyone quite a scare, you know.” You flinch at his voice, sitting up instantly and turning to watch as he settles down next to you. His knee knocks against yours and he playfully kicks his feet at you.

You let out a huff, “Just wanted some space. Besides, I would’ve returned by sunrise.” Tighnari remains silent for a moment, taking the chance to look over your features. He can see the way your body tries to curl inwards, eyes downcast and hands limp on your lap. Even when you address him, there’s no hint of that smile he’s grown to be so fond of day by day.

“I don’t doubt that.” He chuckles softly and raises his head to stare up ahead at the city. “So what’s going on, talk to me. I’m all ears.” You can’t help but let out a tiny laugh when you notice the way his ears perk upright. Tighnari ignores the way his cheeks flush when he hears the sound escape your lips and settles closer to you, waiting as you collect your thoughts.

“From anyone else’s perspective, the expedition was a success. We collected enough data, stopped two withering zones, and made it back alive. But so many of us have injuries because I couldn’t properly assess the situation. It makes me question my position as a Forest Watcher, sometimes I don’t think I’m cut out for this job.” Tighnari listens without interrupting, too aware of the way your voice gradually gets dimmer. He waits until you finish, the burden finally seeping off of your shoulders and into the rising moon. 

He waits for a moment, allowing you to take in the silence before speaking up again. “I think you’re a wonderful Forest Watcher. In fact, I think you’re one of the best we’ve ever had. No one else quite knows how to navigate the forest like you do, in fact, you tend to spot more things than I do during expeditions. What happened wasn’t your fault, no one was expecting a group of rogue Eremites to ambush you. I think you handled the situation as best as you could, and I know everyone else thinks so too.” You don’t reply to his words, but Tighnari watches a tiny smile appear on your lips. You don’t have to say it aloud, but when you lean closer to him, resting your head onto his shoulder, he can feel just how thankful you are for him.

III. To apologize the morning after a fight “Archons above, you can be so irresponsible!” Tighnari snaps. There’s no teasing tone, no poking words or playful twitches of his ears. Instead he’s standing with a rigid pose, composure flying out the window as his words seem to echo in the space around you. Your home suddenly feels too small, with his presence far too overwhelming. His eyes are hard and furious, hands clenched as he glares you down as if you were an insolent child. “Apparently, I can't trust you with anything! If you see a Withering Zone you report it, you don’t dive head first into it. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been able to handle it before, it takes one chance for something to go wrong. What if I wasn’t patrolling that area as well, what would have happened, huh?”

“I’ve handled things like this on my own before, you’ve watched me do it! Since when did you lose trust in me this fast?” You shoot back, hurt, bleeding from your words. Admittedly, trying to take on a Withering Zone wasn’t the best decision to make, but you had handled them well in the past.

“Sometimes I wonder how you become a Forest Watcher if you act like this so often.”

It hurts, more than he’ll let himself believe, as he watches your face crumble at his words. He wants to apologize, to move closer and pull you into a hug and promise you he didn’t mean any of it, especially when he sees the tears already gathering in your eyes.

“Right.” You take a deep breath and clear your throat. Your voice breaks when you say it again and you look up at him, desperately hoping the tears don’t fall. “I think you should leave.” Tighnari doesn’t move. No, he doesn’t want to move.

“Go. Please.” You look towards the door. He says your name softly, as if ready to make his apologies but you’re shaking your head, turning around so you can’t see your expression as the words start to dig deeper into you. “I don’t want you here, right now. So leave, please.” The shakiness in your tone is enough to get his feet moving, and he finds himself leading his body away from your home, away from you. And when his ears twitch when he hears the first sob break through your lips, he pauses. But he keeps going, and forces his head down, refusing to look back.

As a new morning dawns upon the forest, Tighnari is the first to wake, running through his typical morning routines before swinging over to your home, knuckles rapping against the door as he patiently waits for you to answer. He knocks again when there’s no answer, rocking back and forth on his feet, straining his ears to see if he can hear anything.

“(y/n)?” Nothing. “I’m coming in, I hope you’re not asleep!” He smiles to himself at the words, already imagining you still buried under the warmth of your sheets, groans slipping past your lips as you complain about it being too early to be up. But when he pushes the door open, he’s greeted with nothing but silence. You’re not there. It takes him a second for the realization to sink in before he’s scanning the small room, searching for any sign of you. Your travel pack is gone and bed neatly made, clearly indicating you hadn’t stayed the night. Tighnari swallows thickly as he recalls the words he had said in his moment of frustration and curses himself as he walks outside, nearly running headfirst into Umm.

“Oh? Master Tighnari, what are you doing here?” She tilts her head, hand holding a pad of paper with notes on whatever medication she was working on.

“I was going to visit (y/n), we had a disagreement last night. Do you know where they went?” He asks hopefully but his heart only sinks when she tilts her head in confusion.

“I thought they had gone on ahead and told you? They came by the medical hut last night to see if we needed any help. Turns out we were running low on Vasanti Grass and the nearest merchant is at Port Ormos. They left last night and said they would let you know since it’s rather important for us to have. It must have slipped their mind, I wouldn’t worry about it, they know how to protect themselves well.” Umm smiles warmly at him, patting his arm in comfort before she continues on her path towards Collei’s hut. Tighnari stares back at your now closed door, his heart squeezing in his chest. His apology would have to wait, but Archons why did it hurt this much to see you gone?

IV. To (try to) stop Tighnari from tripping on mushrooms Avidya Forest is home to so many living beings, from fungi, calm and dangerous, to lurking spinocrocodiles and the many different species of flora that thrive in the environment. But Avidya Forest has also made itself home to the many Forest Rangers who adore its wilderness. And after nearly a week of being gone to barter for Vasanti Grass at Port Ormos, returning back to the forest feels like a warm blanket of comfort settling over your shoulders. The other rangers call out excited greetings, waving from their posts and asking how your journey was.

Still, there’s no sign of Tighnari, and while you knew he was busy, a small part of you had hoped throughout the entire trip that he might be waiting for you. The trip to the port had allowed you the chance to think about the relationship shared between you and Tighnari. It was a precarious dance, with precise footwork, never to step forward too much, or pull away too fast. It was shared stories beneath the sun, and whispered secrets beneath the moon, a story of two friends who toed the line towards something more. And under the light of the moon, each night you could only wonder how he was faring, and if he was thinking of you too. But you brush it off as a foolish thought, after all, you had been the one to leave unexpectedly in the middle of the night without a word or any sign of your departure. Perhaps the fight was still present in his mind.

“(y/n)! You’re back!” A smaller figure crashes into you, arms wrapping around your middle as green hair fills your vision. You can’t help but grin at Collei’s excitement, returning the warm sentiment as you apologize for leaving so abruptly. She speaks rapidly, brushing off your concerns as she attempts to catch you up on the wellbeing of everyone else over the past week. She rambles about the experiments and patrols she’s taken part of, the new skills she’s learned as an archer, and all the little things that you can’t help but laugh at when she pouts.

“Oh! I completely forgot!” Her hand grasps your wrist and she tugs you across one of the bridges, towards Tighnari’s hut. “Umm said to find you when you returned because Master Tighnari isn’t feeling well! She said something about mushrooms and you having Vasanti Grass?” You paused outside his door. Mushrooms?

Ah. Mushrooms. Tighnari and his bad habit of trying the wild plants of Sumeru.

“I’ll check up on him, don’t worry.” You force a smile to your lips in an attempt to reassure Collei. She stares at you for a moment, as if she could sense there was some unresolved tension between the two of you. “Go on ahead and let Umm know that I’ll bring her the rest of the Vasanti Grass when I’m done.” The young trainee ranger is off in a matter of seconds, calling out a wish of good luck as she stumbles away. She leaves you alone, standing outside Tighnari’s door with a wall of unsaid words seemingly trying to push you away.

“Tighnari? Hey, are you awake?” You push open the door gently. His hut is cool, no doubt from the opened windows that invite the morning breeze in. Tighnari lies on his bed, ears flat against his pillow as he groans and turns over. His eyes are hazy and his mouth parts when he takes sight of you.

His words are slow, almost slurred when he asks, “(y/n)? Is that you?” You grimace at the sight and immediately set to grinding some of the Vasanti Grass. He’ll need it when whatever he’s eaten wears off and he’s left with a headache and the groggy feeling of trying to remember what happened.

“No… they’re still in Port Ormos, I think. Hey fake-(y/n)?” You bite your lip to stop yourself from laughing. You’ll hold this over his head later when he whines about not remembering everything. “Can you tell the real (y/n) I miss them? I didn’t mean what I said, I miss them.” Your hand tightens around the pestle as you brush the grass.

“I fought a giant mushroom today because I thought I heard their voice asking for help. I thought I had lost them to the Withering.” Tighnari’s words are slower, his voice lower, and you want to believe that he sounds sad. “I can’t lose them, can you tell them that?”

You turn around quickly, a strained smile on your lips as you lift your hand to rest on his forehead, fingers itching to scratch at his ears which twitch at your movements. “Why don’t you tell them when they return, yeah?”

“Sure, I guess. I hope they come back soon, I miss them.”

V. To always forgive one another When Tighnari wakes the next morning his mouth feels dry and his head is a mess. He pushes himself up from his bed, sleepily reaching for water at his bedside table when another hand pushes a cup into his hand. He manages out a grumbled thanks before sipping at the cool drink, closing his eyes as he tries to remember everything from the past day. To his luck, he remembers nearly everything, which is a success for his research. It means this type of mushroom isn’t detrimental to the memory, and it only prompts hallucinations. Right, he hallucinated you had come back. 

“Archons above.” He groans and with his eyes still closed he swings his feet off the bed and pushes himself up quickly to grab the journal on his desk. But before he can move far, scrambled hands push him back towards the bed, snatching the cup out of his hand before it can splash all over him and his bed.

“What do you think you’re doing?!” Tighnari’s eyes snap open and he has to blink multiple times for the world to come into focus. And to his shock, you stand in front of him, irritated expression on your face as you stare him down.

“You’re back.”

“What? Yes, I’m back, I’ve been back since yesterday morning!” Tighnari’s brain is still trying to process everything, his mind running to catch up with him.

He gapes at you, “Wait, since yesterday morning? So then you were actually—”

“How many times have I told you to stop trying mushrooms? You know you’re going to end up bedridden when you eat them so why do you keep trying them? And don’t say it’s for the sake of knowledge!” You snap at him and immediately apologize softly when he winces at how loud you are. His ears droop atop his head and you instantly feel bad when he starts to pout. That feeling disappears when his head shoots up to look at you, eyes narrowed in confusion before they widen dramatically.

“Wait, so the fake-you was real? You heard all that?”

“You remember all that?”

“Please tell me you weren’t there yesterday morning.” He brings one hand up to run over his face, his last few words muffled into his palm.

“Is it that bad if I was?” He can hear the hint of hurt in your tone. Silence stretches between the two of you. He shakes his head and takes in a shaky breath, readjusting himself and gesturing for you to sit down next to him. He hates the space that’s between the two of you, aware of the way your arms seem to press closer to your body as if ready to help you push up and away.

“I’m sorry about what I said the other day.” He apologizes, head hanging low. His hands sit in his lap but he can’t help but fiddle with his fingers out of nervousness. “I missed you, a lot. I know you can take care of yourself, I just get so worried sometimes. I just wish that you wouldn’t try to take everything on your own. I’m here too, you know?” 

Your body relaxes, shoulders dropping as you sigh. “I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have tried to take it all on my own.” Tighnari nods as silence fills the tent again. It almost feels awkward, the tension still present, and he’s not quite sure how to cut through it.

“I forgive you, I forgave you the first night I left.” And just like that, the tension melts away, carried away by the breeze and out of the window. His ears straighten up again and he turns his head to smile, only to see you glaring at him.

“That doesn’t mean you can get away with trying mushrooms again. I’ve told you over and over not to, and here we are again!”

VI. To love each other forever There are certain spots in Avidya Forest that you and Tighnari have discovered together. Secret entrances to hidden areas and quiet places that are devoid of wildlife and mortals. Atop one of the huts just on the outskirts of the forest, you sit with him on the moss covered roof with the sight of Sumeru City in the distance. The sun has already begun to set beyond the horizon, tendrils of light in shades of orange and gold spreading across the land as if trying to hang on before night falls over the nation.

“If I was a worm—”

“Do not start with another, ‘if I was a Sumeru wildlife creature, would you still love me?’” Tighnari glares up at you playfully. He lies down with his head in your lap, your hands running through his hair and occasionally scratching his ears. You can’t help but coo whenever you notice the way his tail seems to swish against the roof with delight.

“Okay, well, will you still love me in a hundred years?” You lean over him, cupping his face in your hands as you watch his features change. A smile takes over his lips as his eyes flicker between your eyes and your lips as you lean closer.

“I’ll love you forever, that’s a promise.”

You both finish his sentence at the same time, “And we never break our promises.”

“Thank you for loving me.” Your lips press against his, soft and gentle, reluctant to pull away. But when you do, you can’t help but stare down at Tighnari and the warmth that dances in his eyes. What isn't there to adore about him?

ׂׂૢgenshin characters as meet-cutes!ׂׂૢ

ft: Tighnari, Diluc, Ayato x gender neutral! Reader (separately)

cn: modern au!, kinda academy au!, a lot of head-cannon dumping lol, prob grammar mistakes, a tiny bit ooc, fluff :D

a/n: hello:D im trying to get back to writing lol o/ also, for the meet-cute statements, reader would be "A"

word count: 826

*ೃ༄meet-cute: an amusing or charming first encounter between two characters that leads to the development of a romantic relationship between them.

Tighnari

*ೃ༄when A and B reach for the same book at the library

His footsteps were quick and rushed, each being more anxious than the last. It wasn't uncommon to see Tighnari in the library during the most obscure hours of the night. What was different was that, unlike his usual studious self, forgot to include a whole paragraph of research in his latest essay. Who could blame him? He was so busy with mentoring his underclassmen, and conducting all sorts of new projects that this particular one had completely left his mind. He skims through the shelves looking for a specific book. "The researchers guide to foreign fauna" (he had already read this one), "The sun's effects of nocturnal plants" (he had not read this one, maybe he should borrow it as well) and, ah! "The safety handbook vol. 1: caring for variegated plants" Just the book he needed. Instead of reaching out the grab the books spine, his hand collides with that of your own. He looks straight at you, the gears in his mind immediately clicking. Ah, looks like you need the same book. While he fights a conflicted battle of being a gentleman and giving you the book, or to just snatch and run, you realize that both your hands are still touching. You quickly retract your hand away, opening your mouth to start bargaining with your life as to why you really need this book for your research topic. Your convincing falls sort when Tighnari makes a slight cough.

"Heh... it looks like we both need this book. You can have it first, I don't mind..."

He pulls out his phone, opening up his contacts.

"...But please, the moment you have no more use for it, call me so I can pick it up."

If it hadn't been for the library's dim lights, perhaps you would have noticed the slight blush that brushed across Tighnari's face.

Diluc

*ೃ༄A is forced to attend a fancy party, gets seated next to B, who they complain about how lame the party is. B is the party host (A is unaware of this)

It's almost rare that Diluc could get a breather away from his own party. It came the time that it was the young heir's birthday once again. While his fellow classmates could only dream of having such an extravagant celebration, Diluc couldn't help but dread it. After all, he knew close to no one here, most being business partners, or the families of his fathers friends. He grabs his cup of grape juice, watching from the corner of his eyes as someone interrupts his silent bubble. Dread fills Diluc as he prepares a half-lived smile, ready to talk to whichever business owner had the nerves to ask for a collaboration-

"It's nice to see that someone else looks bored as hell in this party."

...?

He turns his chair to get a better look at you. He doesn't exactly know you. Maybe a child of one of the many CEO's present? You look like you're supposed to be at this party, dressed according to the theme and such. But he makes quick to recognize the slight scowl on your face. The look of, if-one-more-person-talks-about-economics-with-me-I'll-snap. You turn to fully look at the person you sat next to.

"Hey, I was thinking of leaving early and getting some takeout. Wanna come with?"

Maybe you were the breath of fresh air he needed.

Ayato

*ೃ༄A thinks they found their friend, giving them a surprise hug from behind. They hugged B. Their friend watched the whole thing happen.

Maybe Ayaka should have mentioned that she had a brother. Could all the blame be put on her, though? Yes, they did have very similar hair. But surely anyone could have realized that on height alone that the person you so very excitedly hugged wasn't her, but her much taller brother.

After class had officially ended, you spotted your dear friend at the end of the hallway. You were extremely tired as it is, with the only thought in mind being to regain energy through your very positive friend. Sleep made its way early to you, so when you bear-hugged your friend it took long to realize how you were actually cuddling.

On the other side of this, Ayato was deep in conversation with Thoma, before turning his head to see one of his juniors practically squeezing the life out of him. Thankfully, he sees Ayaka walk up to him, reaching to his ear and whispering what had just happened. Ayato couldn't help but let out a light-hearted smile. Ayaka taps your shoulder, causing your eyes to flutter open.

"Ayaka, please let me rest"

...

"Wait, how are you standing in front of me if-"

Maybe Ayaka should properly introduce you to her brother.

Sorry if that sounded weird lmao, feel free to ignore and umm have a nice day!

TIGHNARI X READER

☆— YEAH I KNOW YOU'RE GETTING HOT!

A/N: Zone Ankha but the other way around/hj

I AM NOT PROUD OF THIS

☆Warning/Notes: Use of "good boy", Dacryphilia? I don't remember. Uhhh biting, praise and stuff

⋆ well fuck him silly– ⋆ he tries his best to not go wild and here you are. ⋆ Fucking him and calling him a good boy. ⋆ How do you expect him not to break?

Tighnari has never felt this good before.

He was sensitive to the sensation but he loved it.

"Mmm more please~♡"

He sounded like a drunk. You had your arms wrapped around his neck, changing the position, you moved one of your hands to scratch his head.

"Hng...! Just like that..."

He looked up at you with half lidded eyes, it was begging for more.

You used your other arm to tilt his head up, kissing and lightly biting his neck.

He chanted "yes" as his tail wagged left and right.

His breathing pattern was going fast, covering his face on your neck.

"Yes fuck– please don't stop I- I-" he put both hands on your shoulder, whimpering.

"Aweee, look at you. Such a good boy."

That praise was enough.

"Hah- so close, please kiss me-"

You pressed your lips on his almost immediately, he whined on your lips, begging for who knows what.

His tail and ears perked up.

"Mmph! So gooood~"

Burying his face and cries on your neck, he came all over, he wanted to return the favor.

anon requested: Hello there. If you have time, is it ok if you write something about Tighnari having a bad day and crying about it. It doesn’t have to be shipped with another character or end with fluff. I’ll leave that up to you :).

︶✿︶︶✿︶︶✿︶︶✿︶︶✿︶︶✿︶︶✿︶

Hello! I hope that it's okay, that I have posted and wrote it on my main blog, because I thought that this one might fit on this better than on the other (@.kenmakzme), due to it being more a nsfw blog, hehe! I hope that you like it and have a great day, dear anon! :3 💕

🐕 Tighnari could handle many things, but never had he thought that a day could make him cry.

🐕 So many things had gone wrong and even Tighnari or anybody else could change the fact, that the poor forest watcher’s tail wouldn’t wiggle around, like it usually does.

🐕 You loved how his tail would wiggle around, making you always smile, because of his fluffy tail or large and adorable ears, but at this moment… You could only stare at your dear boyfriend slightly shocked.

🐕 “Maybe you can cheer him up…” Your green-haired friend, Collei, whispered into your ear, before she walked away, leaving you and your boyfriend alone.

🐕 You walked towards your dear boyfriend, sitting next to him, while his colorful and usually bright eyes, teared up. His hands were clenching into palms, eyes gazing over the floor.

🐕 Your embraced him slowly, letting him cry onto your clothes. Patting the back of his head, you assure him, that you are there for him and won’t leave him.

🐕 Poor Tighnari can’t stop crying at first.

🐕 Thank the archons that he has you!

🐕 You are the only one who can make him stop crying, just by holding him in your arms and whispering words of love into his ears and giving him a small kiss, as light as a feather on his red cheeks.

🐕 “Thank you, for being there for me, (y/n)…” He mumbled, not wanting to let you go, loving the warmth of your hug.

[averageallogene]

What do you think of tighnari with a reader of the same species as him?! The fennec fox!! Kiss~

Hello there, lovely~ ♡

Tighnari with a fennec fox hybrid partner? Goodness, he would be over the moon and beyond! He'd already be ecstatic to find someone of the same species as him so he could relate to and converse about it with, but to have them be his lover? He would honestly begin believing soulmates exist! ♡

Now, Tighnari is a wonderful lover no matter if his partner is the same species as him or not, but with a fennec fox lover he'd feel an extra thick layer of comfort between them! The idea that his needs are, by default, fully understood and known since the beginning to them are only one of the many things he truly appreciates about his fox partner <3.

The little habits they share turn outright adorable, including Tighnari sharing tips on how to care for their own tail, and his beloved sharing new oils and scents that he ends up rotating between every so often! Oh, and speaking of tails, brushing one another's tails are also something that quickly turns into a routine Tighnari can't be without! Especially after a hard day, having his beloved brush his tail with such expertise is something he can't go to bed without ♡♡♡

Honestly, Tighnari turns into a puppy around his fennec fox lover! It becomes a routine for everyone around them, but it is something they wouldn't have expected to say the least! Long periods without his lovely baby are hard on him, but they make sure to make it all up to him whenever they can be together once more <3. He's truly fallen for them, to say the least!

NSFW included below, beware!!

Now, with a hybrid fox partner, Tighnari's level of comfort as well of trust boosts up an extra notch~ He will be much more open about his needs and cravings, knowing they will fully understand his animalistic urges~ He will also be more than willing to satisfy their very own needs of course. After all, balance is sacred for Tighnari!

Intimate time with Tighnari can and will be very precious to him, whether they do it more slowly or are more feral every now and then. He always voices his wishes of breeding his baby, babbling on about how their pups would have their lovely fur color while having his fur texture~ Outside of sex these talks would also occur without question, since he is more than serious about it. After all, he found his mate and would have it no other way <3

Ever since getting together his ruts are much more intense too, the poor researcher becoming nothing but pudding in their hands. Tighnari is willing to go the extra mile to show he truly cares and appreciates his dearest, not only for understanding him on such a deeper level, but for also choosing him <3.

✎ I feel a summer breeze (and it reminds me of you) TIGHNARI X READER

SUMMARY: There are many things Tighnari did during his days at the Akademiya, notably, being your classmate was one of them. Even now, after it’s been so long since you two met, he just hopes that you think of him as much as he thinks of you.

FEATURING CAST: Tighnari and the reader are… the only people…

PRONOUNS: gender neutral reader!, second person perspective “You” (please inform me if there’s any fem mentions!)

WORD COUNT: 1 931

WARNINGS: None, bittersweet (?), fluff but then it’s angst…

PROOF-READ: nope! written at 1am 🫶

AUTHOR NOTES: hi hi!!! This is the first fic I’m publishing, haven’t procrastinated this much in ages, sorry I swear it’s the homework. There are probably grammar mistakes, I had a nightmare that a former teacher told me to learn some grammar while writing this…. I also snatched the opening two lines from a song it’s very nice “pusong ligaw by jona” is mwah.

also sorry if it’s obvious that I started listening to Shakira halfway through the piece 😔 listen, hips don’t lie is an absolute banger

ps: send help I don’t know how to center things.TM

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

It is still you that my lost heart looks for

You are its destination, where it will go

Rustling leaves, vines threaded together in intricate patterns unknown, and all the sounds of the forest mixing in a melodious dulcet calming those who stopped to listen. “Stop, and smell the roses”. Blossoming flowers, roots that entwine the earth to meet the sky, the trees’ canopy providing shade to weary travellers, and a noise rustled within the forest

Their strides were confident in nature, their dendro vision glowing as if pulsing to a heartbeat, and the clinking of metal hitting against fabric resonated slightly throughout the forest. It wasn’t exactly an easy duty to organize the forest watchers to be efficient, persistence was the key, and that would also be the reason why he was walking down this very path.

It didn’t take him very long to arrive, it never did; once he let his heart lead his movements, he would always end up in the same spot as always.

Sitting atop a branch, legs dangling in the zephyr below, Tighnari never felt nostalgia and loneliness hit him quite so hard.

Just for a few moments, he would be allowed to sit with his thoughts, and maybe, just maybe, he would be allowed to dream of a world where he didn't lose you. Minutes were spent wondering if he was an idiot for not realizing his feelings until he didn’t see you anymore.

A heart grows fonder with absence

It felt far away, memories of the Akademiya were buried, unfavoured compared to the work that Tighnari had in the present. Although, that’s not to say that they were necessarily forgotten. Even months– no, years later, Tighnari swears that even though he wasn’t a sculptor, he could sculpt your face, down to the smallest details; a lost strand of hair, a forgotten smudge of ink on your hands from writing so much.

Ah, he needs to return to work.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

When Tighnari was in the Akademiya, there wasn’t much he would accurately remember, memories were slightly blurred, months, days, and time had all faded together in one huge deadline. Get this done, review this, read this, and prepare for this. Despite the number of people who had talked to him, his sole focus was on his research.

Although, there were memories that had stuck out to him, like water lilies in a pond; beautiful, vibrant, and utterly transparent.

One of those memories was made when he met you.

Tighnari remembers how the faint glow of the sun hit your features or the way you had haphazardly entered class even more tired than how you were the days before. He wasn’t one to pay much attention to looks, but in that moment he felt as though he didn’t appreciate them enough.

His breath hitched when you took a chair and sat across from him.

“Please tell me that water evaporates.”

Perhaps,,, he had miscalculated.

“Pardon me?”

In a moment he never felt as baffled as he was now, and you never felt more relieved that you weren’t the only one absolutely floored by your friend’s statement.

“Could you please tell me that water doesn’t evaporate– I swear, I’ll treat you to something, just please tell me that water, does, in fact, evaporate.” The exasperation in your voice and the way that your eyes glinted with nothing but absolute exhaustion drew a subtle smile to his face.

“Last time I checked, water does evaporate.”

He watched as you sighed into your hands, before quickly saying your goodbyes to him, and running back to your friend with the answer. If meeting you wasn’t a memory at the forefront of his mind, it would probably be how your friend’s face had held absolute anguish upon hearing his answer.

Or it was the way they had screamed in misery, “SO WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME?!”

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

A week later, he’d find that you were in one of his biology classes, and was able to put a name to your face, and upon seeing you in class, he wondered for brief moments, if it would be alright to sit next to you.

In Tighnari’s defense, maybe being next to you would be helpful to him (since he couldn’t get his mind off of you at all).

Seeing you hunched over a few stacks of paper, and seeming to chant a mantra over and over, Tighnari took a seat next to you before lectures had officially begun. It did take an impressive amount of self-restraint to not laugh right there and then.

“When I said I wanted to study plants I didn’t mean this.”

Tighnari’s tail swished back and forth as if expressing the nervous gestures he couldn’t make, and he took one glance at your papers before he nodded his head in sympathy. It was only then that you realized that someone decided to book first-row tickets to your sanity being undone like it was a knitting mistake, your head shot up faster than students darting away when they saw the General Mahamatra.

Before you were able to question this man’s sanity (as well as yours), you were luckily interrupted by the start of the lecture and it was nothing short of a blessing to you… since you weren’t sure that he would appreciate the lovely string of curses that had almost left your mouth.

That day, after classes, a few offerings of Candied Ajilenakh Nuts could be found at a nearby statue of the seven.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

It was awfully too easy to step into a routine with you, Tighnari admitted. From spending his mornings, afternoons, and evenings dedicated to his research in a comfortable solitude to his thoughts slowly consumed by you the longer he knew you. It wasn’t a rare occurrence for him to look at a few plants and wonder if you would like them, or how he would stare at the setting sun and wonder if you would like this particular spot as well.

You, on the other hand, felt absolute joy at the prospect of gaining a new friend, but it was hard to deny that your heart fluttered when you woke up in the morning, not because of the Akademiya, but because of Tighnari.

The affection you two held for each other was clear to see, for everyone except you two. The peers in your class would sigh when that fact was made obvious, at some point it had begun to feel a bit painful to them; especially with the puppy-love crushes that you two seemingly had on each other.

During a lecture that could beat even the eternity that the Electro Archon idealized, it was no surprise that you fell asleep. Tighnari knew of your struggles, the amount of work that you received was akin to a tunnel (that had no light at the end), and he decided to save the lecture about the importance of sleep for later.

It was then that Tighnari felt a gentle breeze, the breeze blew past him albeit a little cold. Deciding that he was better off without it, he places his coat on your shoulders, taking notes for the both of you.

Lingering touches and lingering gazes flitted across the classroom. He reached out to push away stray hairs, hand hovering above your face before he thought better of it.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

Hesitant movements, and hesitant phrases said to each other, all in the name of unshared feelings. Words that ached to be granted a voice, and undone actions that added to regrets.

Friends don’t do this.

When graduation had approached, the mixed feelings that conflicted in his mind had him nauseous. Should he be feeling crushed at the notion that he wouldn’t be able to share notes with you in class? Or that he wouldn’t be able to look at you disapprovingly when you tried to tell him jokes during a class, or the times he’d scold you to take more rest.

It all faded into a dream, and before he knew it, he was graduating.

Where were you?

You approached him, excitement painted on your features, the thrill of finally completing something over the long years you’ve spent at the Akademiya. The bounce in your step was enough to show that, and the glint in your eyes said more than words ever could.

Unlike him, a coward to his feelings, and a coward to himself, you spoke the very sentence he was dreading,

“I guess this is the last time we’ll be seeing each other!”

His instincts demand him to counter your words, “What makes you say that?”

You and your damned smile, the smile that he dreamt of for so long, “I don’t know, I just have this… let’s call it intuition, yeah?”

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

After Tighnari left the Akademiya he didn’t engage much with its affairs, although you were an exception. While he remained rooted in the forest, you had taken flight like the birds you were always fond of; delving into research and travelling nations for the answers.

Not even a letter to remember you by, no letters in a box that he could’ve kept stashed away, the only thing that he had left of you was your memories.

And he was trying to pick up the pieces, desperately trying to glue them to create a comprehensive picture.

Regrets and regrets piled up, and everytime he sat in a branch of a tree, hidden away from the rest of the world, he still wonders, if you two could’ve worked out.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

His memory flickers to a sunlit room, the setting sun casting its glow on the world for a minute. If meeting you was his favourite memory, this would definitely be in second place. The two of you contemplating life after graduation, and possibly, life without each other.

“You know, it’s a bit odd, I never planned it out because I didn’t think that you wouldn’t be in it.” You move your gaze to the sunset, more interested in the view than seeing the expression he made. Almost as though you were scared of seeing what he would say.

He opens his mouth, and for once, he’s unable to form a sentence.

The silence had washed over the both of you, and it wasn’t a comfortable silence between good friends. The kind of silence that belonged between two people who knew they were reaching the end of their paths together.

Tighnari reaches out to hold your hand, he wants to reassure you that he’d keep in contact with you, that you two would remain friends after graduation.

Like always, he returns his hand back before you could even notice.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

It’s no secret to the forest rangers, or even those who chance upon the Avidya forest that Tighnari is an amazing man of organization, and confidence.

Although between you and him, he’s a man of regrets. The kind of regrets that he wakes up at night, wondering what would’ve happened, or what could’ve been, if he had taken one risk. One chance, and he could’ve at least known your feelings for him.

It isn’t until he hears heavy footsteps, that he snaps out of his thoughts; you were important to him, but his duty called and he was to answer.

You seem stressed about something, so why don’t we go on an excursion to get your mind off of it? One of the patrols reported some fungi behaving oddly in part of the forest, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to be by my side while I research.

You 🤝 Me --> Needing more Tighnari content Say no more babes.

(Sfw) Tighnari as a Boyfriend

Characters: Tighnari x GN!Reader

Warnings: Slightly suggestive, subtle yandere themes

WC: 0.8k words

Fennec foxes mate for life. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Tighnari is loyal to a fault. Some of the villagers and even fellow rangers may try to woo him, but his eyes are focused on you and you alone

This also applies in the opposite direction-- if anyone flirts with you, he's by your side and growling at the offender, canines bared and ready to bite. Poor Al-Haitham got a bit of a shock when an off-handed, semi-flirtatious statement earned him a bone-chilling glare from Tighnari and the feeling of claws around his neck. Please give this man all of your attention

Gets very excited if you groom his ears and tails-- he likes to keep them nice and presentable for you and what better way to do that than to have you preen as you see fit?

Speaking of grooming-- if you do a particularly favorable job at it, he'll purr. Idc if foxes cant purr, Tighnari can. It's barely audible, trading sound for power as it's strong enough to be felt all over your body. Once he's purring you've won-- you could ask him anything and he'll probably say yes to it

Always brings you something from his expeditions-- from flowers to unique plants and strange creatures-- as long as he's vetted it to be safe, Tighnari will bring it home for you to keep. His tail curls up in anxiety as he watches you carefully inspect the gifts he brings home, but it always relaxes when he sees your delighted smile and you look at him with such adoration keep your eyes only on him

Speaking of his tail, it's the biggest indicator of his mood. If it's still, he's either in a neutral state or very focused. If it's swaying back and forth, he's calm and perhaps happy-- the faster it sways the happier he is. If it drags behind him on the floor like it has no life, he's upset. And if it curls up very tightly he may be a tad excited.

It also naturally seeks you out. If you stand next to him, it automatically wraps itself around your leg, waist, or just all over your body. You're familiar and safe, and it's a way of staying as close and connected to you as possible. It does make for some unfortunate moments when one of you decides to move abruptly, tugging the poor thing hard and lightly spraining it.

He will lecture you if you get in trouble or hurt yourself, but not out of anger-- only frustration and worry. He loves you very dearly and he doesn't want to think of a world without you. Tighnari's lectures are just another way of him expressing his concern for you and your safety. This also means that before you go anywhere, even if it's down the road to a local merchant, he'll make sure you have an emergency pack fully stocked. He can't have you tripping over a root and injuring yourself, and without anything to self-treat, now can he?

The cooler seasons are the best time to cuddle with him-- the fur on his ears and tail get slightly thicker to adjust to the falling temperatures, which makes sleeping curled up against the tail all the more comforting. Its extra warmth makes cool breezes and nightly chills a thing of the past.

While he does have a nickname or two for you, he doesn't call you by it often. Saying your name is loving as it is-- it's your name. It carries the weight of your history and how far you've come-- who you are. To him, that is the most precious thing and every time he says your name, all that information floods his brain as he conjures up the image of you, his lovely partner. During more sappy and romantic moments though, he will throw in a nickname for you here and there.

He may tease and be sarcastic with you, but if you express your discomfort, he'll stop immediately. However, if you can match his snarkiness and shoot back your own witty retorts, you'll have him completely ensnared. An off-handed comment turns into a full-blown snark fest with neither of you willing to give up until you leave the other completely stumped. It makes those around you either annoyed or amused. After all, anyone that can keep up with Tighnari's wit is sure to make a worthy opponent.

All in all, Tighnari is a very caring boyfriend with his own quirks. If you're lucky enough to be chosen by him, you'll have quite the satisfactory relationship-- one that only inspires joy and free love. Just be mindful not to set off one of his more fox-like instincts. It often can get...messy.

Requests (both sfw and nsfw) are open~! If you want a nsfw version of this lmk

Sick (Tighnair x reader)

You groaned as you lay in bed, wrapping the blankets as tightly around you as you could. You had woken up this morning and since then you had only begun to feel worse. And of course, your loving boyfriend Tihgnari was more than happy to take care of you, despite the fact that you didn't want to burden him. Despite you trying to argue that you could handle this on your own Tignari refused to take no for an answer. He was out at the moment and you were getting hungry. Determined to be independent you slowly stood up, surely you would be able to make yourself some soup. However, you were suddenly stopped when Tighnari appeared in the doorway, arms crossed as she stared at you.

"What are you doing out of bed?" He asked in a stern tone. You winced, knowing you had been caught and you got back into bed.

"I just wanted some soup," you told your boyfriend. He shook his head, sighing as he made his way over to the side of your bed, placing the medicine down on the bedside table.

"You could have just asked me," he told you, placing the back of his hand against your forehead.

"Besides, your fever still hasn't gone down yet" he lightly chastised you.

"I just didn't want to burden you," you told him in a soft voice. Looking down at you, Tighnari smiled as he ran a hand through your hair in a soothing manner.

"You are not a burden, now rest, I'll make you something to eat after you take your medicine." A smile appeared on your face as you nodded, you felt lucky to have Tighnari around.

random silly prompt go!!

how would the genshin men react if they see you just... cupping/rubbing/touching/playing with your own boobs in front of a mirror? lmao

bonus points if you tell them they're sore/sensitive //hit

me who does this a lot... hehe only doing two situations <3

❏ ( notes ) ; enjoyyyy, sorry this was so late <333 ❏ ( contents ) ; 18+, nsfw ahead.

Surprised?

Freezing behind you as they catch you doing this but soon enough... they come up behind you and cup your breasts themselves, smiling down at you. They don't necessarily ask why you're doing it; they'll take the opportunity to tease you a bit about it.

You don't even have to tell them about how sore or sensitive they are either, as they already know once they cup them in their hands, taking one of your nipples between their fingers to pinch them a bit... just a little to hear that cute whine from you.

They keep you facing the mirror so you can see just how their hands squeeze, pinch, and roam all over your chest. Their lips leave pecks along your neck, sometimes biting, leaving love bites along their trail. One of their hands dipping down your body to settle between your legs, feeling how your arousal was already pooling between your legs just from this.

Zhongli, Neuvillette, Pierro, Capitano, Diluc, Scaramouche, Kazuha, Xiao, Cyno, Tighnari, Kaveh, Thoma, Dain

Intrigued.

They'll pretty much just stand there behind you, leaning against the doorframe as they watch you do that in front of the mirror. They won't move until you notice them though, coming up close and teasing you about how cute you look doing that.

They'd tell you such things like how cute you are, roaming their hands over your body and complimenting every part of you, making sure you keep your eyes on them in the mirror while doing so.

bonus if they have you seated on their lap with their legs spread widely as their fingertips toy with your sensitive little bud. "Isn't this just a pretty sight?" they'll ask in a hushed tone in your ear as they point out your cute expressions in the mirror, their other hand coming up to cup your breasts.

Childe, Wriothesley, Baizhu, Dottore, Pantalone, Kaeya, Itto, Heizou, Alhaitham, Ayato, Albedo
