#I dunno I think I'd probably like cuddling Cyno the best

Genshin Cuddles HCs (Cyno, Tighnari, Xiao)
I am having a huge burst of creative energy. I should be going to bed but NO! I will think of cuddling with the genshin boys. This is going to be weird. Awake me takes no responsibility for what sleep deprived me does. Reader is assumed to be short because I am and this is a self insert, hehe;  slight angst in Xiao's (I mean, it's Xiao)
A/N: Good gods, I really was tired when I did this. I had next to no formatting, a childish Authors note. To anyone who read this on my other blog, I am really, really sorry. I won't promise it won't happen again, so I'll apologize in advance for any future instances of sleepy posting.
I did my best to extent Tighnari's a little. Our fox-boy deserves more than a few sentences
Cyno x gn!reader, Tighnari x gn!reader, Xiao x gn!reader
Cyno
Mr. Serious Mahamatra is actually an amazing cuddler
He's a settled person so he's not going to fidget and squirm. He could probably cuddle for hours if you both had time.
Spooning is very much a favorite. Especially if you've had a long day, the two of you will lay in bed. He'll press himself against you back, wrapping his arms around you and pressing his lips into your hair. Even though he's one of the smaller Genshin guys, he's warm and radiates this steady, grounded energy. Being the little spoon makes you feel safe and cared for. More often than not you fall asleep when spooning.
On the other hand, when Cyno gets home after a long mission, you'll curl up on the couch with his head on your chest
After the darkness that permeates his job, your heartbeat represents light and life and goodness. He values the time spent listening to your heartbeat just as much as he values rules and justice. It's a balance he needs and he knows it.
Tighnari
You know how kittens will curl up in little piles, facing each other and all and it is really, really cute?
Yea, that's you and Tighnari
You'll kinda burrow into each other and he'll wrap his tail around your legs
He'll even yet you scratch his ears while he pets your hair. No sleeping really ever happens like this, but it's so relaxing you might as well have taken a nap
If you're cuddling because you had a really bad day, you two might spoon, or you'll sit on his lap while he holds you and lets you pet his tail.
If you happen to fall asleep while cuddling his tail like a stuffed animal, he's fine with it, but is glad there's no one around to take a picture because that would just be embarrassing.
Xiao
Xiao is probably so touch starved it's stupid
Once he starts getting physical affection and serious cuddles, he realizes that he actually really needs it not that you mind
Like Cyno the type of cuddles depends on the situation
He's not as into spooning, though it does happen especially late night when you're tired and ready to sleep. I think he really wants to be able to see your face and even in Teyvat physics don't really allow for that when spooning
Instead, when you're the one who needs comfort and touch, you snuggle up to his side and he wraps his arm around you. As usual he doesn't say much,  but with Xiao, he really lets his actions speak for him
When he needs the comfort, he tends to want you on his lap where his can bury his face in the crook of your neck. He wraps his arms tight around you like he's scared to let you go.
It's all you can you to stroke his hair or gently rub his back. Just like his actions speak louder than words, your actions are more likely to reach him than platitudes, though you make sure to use your words as well. He really could use them
And sometimes you're just in the mood to cuddle at which point it depends on when and where. His head in your lap, yours in his, honestly, all he cares about is being able to see your face and be in contact with you
