dawn of love (genshin characters as your classmate, pt. 2)

classmate!diluc who you rarely saw in class. He was absent on most days due to his bartending jobs and as the secretary on records, it was a nightmare trying to file his countless absences. You had no idea why he even needs part-time jobs, seeing as he’s the sole heir of a wealthy company.

classmate!diluc who bumps into you on a saturday night. His heart skips a beat upon seeing you, but this thrill quickly disappears when he notices the grimace on your face. His eyes flick to the drink man who has a hand clasped around your wrist and he fumes.

classmate!diluc who is usually level-headed, but he loses all his composure when you are jeopardized. He pushes himself in between you and the stranger and whispers threats under his breath. The man flees, much to his delight, and you’re flooded with relief.

classmate!diluc who is the embodiment of the phrase, “nonchalant to others, clingy to you.” Ever since the incident at the grocery, he has watched you like a hawk. You were forever grateful to be under his protection and Diluc couldn’t be happier when you asked to eat dinner with him one day. He said yes. He can never say no to you.

classmate!childe who is a heartthrob and everyone wants to either be with him, or be him. Aside from that, he’s also known as the loud volleyball captain. People vie for his attention, but his heart already belonged to a special someone. You.

classmate!childe who was just inches away from your body. you caught him snooping around his coach’s office for his confiscated cigarettes. the slight turn of the doorknob made you two stop bickering and he panics, pulling you into a locker with him. You could feel your two hearts beating in unison, and even under the dim lights, you were still the most gorgeous sight his eyes have laid upon.

classmate!childe whose heart couldn’t stop beating fast. It was because of your close forced proximity, and the fact that he can get in serious trouble if his coach finds you with him. The fact that you were scolding him relentlessly wasn’t helping his case so he thinks of the next best way to shush you. with your consent, he manages to quiet you down with his lips against yours.

classmate!kaeya who’s notorious for balancing his bar life and good grades, which is why everyone’s dumbfounded when he’s suddenly dropped from the honor’s list. He finds himself spending less time at school and more at the bar near campus.

classmate!kaeya who’s a good friend of yours, so you check up on how he’s doing when you learned that he’s no longer his class’s top student. You are met with teary eyes and a tight embrace when you asked him what was wrong.

classmate!kaeya who opens up to you about his problems with his family, brother, and academics, alongside the pressure of always being number one. You console him and from then on, you two were inseparable. You tutored him at times, as literature wasn’t his forte, and in exchange, he taught you chemistry.

classmate!kaeya who’s forever grateful to have someone like you in his life. You’re a person he knows he can depend on, and for that he’d gladly walk through fire for you. He hopes you feel the same way, for Kaeya can and will sacrifice everything for the sake of your wellbeing. That’s what you do for the people you love, right?

classmate!zhongli who works at the cafe near your university. He met you during finals week, and even when you had dishevelled hair and furrowed eyebrows, he still thought you were his prettiest customer yet.

classmate!zhongli who was ecstatic that you became a regular of his. His shift could never be complete without serving you once. Your smile, voice, and overall presence became a part of his daily routine, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

classmate!zhongli who becomes your classmate when he’s transferred to your school under an exchange student program. He was glad to see a familiar face amongst a group of strangers in his class, and unbeknownst to him, you felt the same way. You were growing accustomed to seeing Zhongli in your everyday life, and you couldn’t wait to show him around campus.

classmate!zhongli is going back to his old school due to the exchange program ending, but he isn’t letting distance separate the two of you. He manages to ask you out on a date, and you are over the moon. You and Zhongli have become close, and he’s ready to cross the lines from being friends, to becoming something more.

[When the group and Scaramouche are trying to work out why the Fatui would be interested in a meatpacking plant.]

Diluc: Contaminate the food supply? Kill a lot of people?

Scaramouche: Nonsense, if the Fatui wanted to kill a lot of humans they could simply use their delusion’s to ignite the atmosphere.

[Silence]

Kaeya: Well. There’s a happy thought.

Maybe Not Always - Diluc

Author's Notes: This is such an old fic. This is quite literally one of the first Genshin fics I wrote. It's just been sitting, gathering dust in my to-post document since then. I'd almost forgotten it existed until I stumbled across it today. I do, however, remember doing research for this fic. Due to it's age, I have absolutely no clue about what I might have been listening to when I wrote this, if I was listening to anything at all. Anyway, reader is gender-neutral, as per usual, in this pic. I hope you enjoy!

Type: Fluff/platonic or romantic (whichever you prefer)/implied angst (kind of halfway, don't worry it's not bad)

Word count: 1879

Warnings: Injury/tourniquet

I huffed, stumbling forward slightly under the weight of the man I currently supported. As if in response, Diluc sighed as he pushed away from me to lean against a wall and rest, “You need to get home. I can make it the rest of the way on my own.”

I shook my head, straightening to better look him in the eye, “You won’t be making it anywhere very fast at all with your leg like that.” I gestured to his bloodied leg pointedly and he glanced down at it with a grimace.

I didn’t know exactly what had happened, only that the Abyss Order had been involved. The fact that he’d gotten hurt was alarming enough as it was, but the fact he’d been completely oblivious to my presence till I’d run over was even more so.

“How did they hurt you? You’ve never gotten hurt in the past,” Worry crept into my voice as I looked at his injured leg and he raised his head to look at me.

He frowned at my concern before shaking his head, “I just hadn’t expected that many. It looks far worse than it actually is.”

I all but scowled at him from where I now leaned against the wall opposite him. It was frustrating how hard he tried to keep people from helping him.

A part of me understood. Diluc did some dangerous things as the ‘Darknight Hero,’ but he couldn’t keep this up. He was going to have to hide his injury and do his work with no one noticing.

After all, an injury like that was bound to be questioned by numerous individuals. Especially since when he’d last been in the city as ‘Diluc’ he hadn’t been injured.

I rolled my shoulders as I pushed myself off the wall before extending a beckoning arm, “Come on, Angel’s Share isn’t far now. I should be able to help you get sort of patched up there.”

Diluc frowned, but didn’t object as he hobbled over to where I offered support. He did stubbornly hold up more of his weight than he should be trying to though.

I almost sighed at his efforts to keep from burdening me, but didn’t say anything. It was a miracle he was letting me help this much anyway. He’d tried to turn me away when I’d found him earlier.

I’d been on my way home from closing up the shop when I’d found him kneeling on the ground, hands pressed to his bloody thigh that had a make-shift knife sticking out of it.

I hadn’t asked for specifics, instead rushing over to help him. I’d been met with thanks and reassurances that he could handle it on his own. To his obvious displeasure I’d refused and assisted him to the best of my ability.

Perhaps the worst part of this trek through the streets was getting him to Angel’s Share without being seen. We had to take back alleys in order to avoid the patrolling Knight’s of Favonius who he refused to ask for assistance.

His argument was that they’d connect the dots or that Kaeya would out him to the rest of the knights. In reality, I think he just really did not want help, much less theirs. After all, he’d already tried to send me home three times.

He stumbled and let out a hissing sound, causing me to look over at him with unconcealed worry. His red eyes met mine, holding my gaze for just a few brief seconds before they darted away as if nothing was wrong, “It’s fine.”

I suppressed the now familiar need to sigh and instead looked forwards. The path that led towards Angel’s Share was welcoming as my eyes found the very building we’d been headed towards, “Look, we’re almost there.”

I watched through my peripheral, hardly able to keep the smile off my face as he looked forward and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

I carefully led him over to one of the tall stone walls that encircled Mondstadt and let him prop himself up. Soon I was listening to his calm directions that led me to the hidden key for the back door.

“Okay, come on,” I looped his arm over my shoulder and maneuvered him into the darkened room. Pushing the door shut with my foot as he released me to instead support himself against the wall as he eased himself onto a stool.

I flicked on the light before looking down at him, “Where are the bandages?”

His eyes slowly shifted up to meet mine before he glanced off to the side and pointed, “Top shelf, over there.”

My eyes followed his pointed finger and I fought back a grimace as I beheld an impressively sized cabinet.

Stool it was then.

As soon as I could reach it I nabbed the box marked with the red cross on it and walked over to where he sat. Ignoring the way his eyes followed my every movement, but never betrayed his thoughts.

“I’m going to have to pull the knife out, so this is gonna hurt.” My eyes flicked up to meet his as I braced myself, “As soon as it’s out I’ll have to apply pressure which will hurt even more. Ready?”

He inhaled slightly but nodded, his eyes not leaving mine until I broke eye contact by looking down.

I would have far preferred to leave the knife in to block bleeding and get Barbara’s help but he’d already shot that idea down. Twice.

I was surprised by how quickly it all happened once I got started though.

One second the knife was in his leg with me gripping the hilt and then the next it was out, laying on the floor where I’d dropped it. I applied pressure to the wound that blood was now flowing freely out of, gritting my teeth as I did everything I could to slow the gushing.

He let out a pained grunt and my eyes flicked up to his face before zipping back down to his leg. I hurriedly grabbed cloth from the box and started stuffing the wound while also trying to keep pressure on it.

I grimaced in sympathy as I quickly finished my work. Applying a tourniquet so we could get him home where more skilled hands, like Adelaide’s, could handle the rest.

“Are you…?” I stopped myself before I finished the question.

He was not alright. He was in incredible pain and had somehow kept himself from screaming bloody murder through all that.

He inhaled harshly but nodded, somehow still feigning calm, “Thank you…” I almost grimaced again at his pained sounding words that gave away exactly how much that had hurt.

“Do you need to rest, or-”

I was cut off with a firm shake of the head, his red eyes now gleaming with determination as he at last succeeded in drawing a sigh out of me.

I should’ve known he wouldn’t rest. Diluc was one of the people who would keep pushing himself to the very moment he shattered into a million pieces.

That was why I stayed with him no matter how many times he tried to distance himself. At the very least I could work at keeping all of the tiny pieces in place and prevent him breaking.

“Come on then. We need to get you home anyway.” I glanced down, looking at my hasty work with a frown, “That won’t be enough, but it’ll last for the trip. Adelaide should be able to handle the rest.”

He nodded in stiff agreement, but I was already puzzling about how to get him back to his manor. Limping there wasn’t an option, we’d never make it before dawn and he definitely needed rest.

“Do you have a wagon or something we can use?” His eyes met mine with a unique exhaustion and that was answer enough.

“I’ll ask the knights-”

“No.” His answer was swift, but hardly well thought out.

I stood, crossing my arms and glaring down at him, “We have to get you home and you said Kaeya already knew about your ‘secret identity.’ We might as well ask the knights for help so that you won’t get an infection and will actually be able to walk in the future.”

He almost scowled at me but I let out a huff, more annoyed than impressed by his irritation.

“I know you don’t like the knights, but you’re just going to have to deal.” I turned, getting ready to head out into the street and flag down a patrolling knight only to get stopped by Diluc’s attempt to stand that had me turning and sitting him back down.

One of his hands grasped my arm, holding me in place with ease as he firmly held my gaze, “Fine. But… But make sure you get Kaeya…. Anyone else might-”

I nodded, wishing that I could find it in me to be soothing, but finding it difficult to actually do so as I responded. “Yes, yes I know. Anyone else might figure out your secret. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they get Kaeya.”

He nodded at my reassurance, noticeably relaxing and at last allowing me to slip outside and onto the street so that I could glance around.

I spotted one of the armored men in the distance and raised my arm, “Sir!”

He whirled like he’d been shot as soon as I shouted but came trotting over immediately, “Yes, what do you need Ma’am?”

I almost grinned as I recognized the man. Miles. He would be perfect for the job.

“Miles, can you go get Kaeya? He is needed at Angel’s Share.” I watched the determined look leave the man’s eyes as he sighed.

“I see, a bill to be settled. Very well, he will be here shortly.” I watched as he turned and trotted off, letting out a sigh of relief as he disappeared.

Saved by Kaeya’s alcohol habits and bad reputation. Who would have thought?

I went back into the tavern and Diluc immediately looked up as I entered. “Miles is getting Kaeya now. He assumed that our beloved cavalry captain had a bill to settle. Your secret is safe.”

Diluc managed an amused grin and nodded at me, “Good.” He fell silent, looking off towards the door, faking patience as we waited for the knight to come.

He shifted on his stool, wincing with motion but looking back towards me, “Again, thank you. This could have been much worse if you hadn’t found me.”

I nodded, a grin making its way onto my face, “Not a problem, can’t have Mondstadt’s one and only Darknight Hero out of commission, now can we? If nothing else Donna would be crushed.”

She wouldn’t be the only one, but I kept that thought to myself. No need to guilt trip the poor man when he was taking the time to thank me for my assistance.

Diluc’s frown was almost immediate and I snickered as he deadpanned, “Don’t call me that.”

I smiled at him warmly, despite what a pain he’d been I was been relieved that Diluc was okay, “I guess the Darknight Hero doesn’t always work alone?”

I was met with a wry grin, “Maybe not always.”

diluc, his past and present, and a pair of gloves

i like to think that diluc’s gloves play a greater role than just heat protection from his daily and knightly duties.

note: this post was originally posted on jan. 9, 2023.

diluc’s default skin is his chosen outfit for his nobleman duties, for when he’s out to do his obligations and responsibilities as the current head of the ragnvindr family, the master of the dawn winery. on the other hand, his alternate skin “red dead of night” is a modified version of his uniform from when he was still under the knights of favonius. he wears this mainly during his vigilante work.

both skins represent the two current and main sides of diluc’s identity: diluc as the ragnvindr heir, and diluc as the darknight hero.

the bases of his clothes are quite similar (a coat, vest and shirt, pants, and boots), just in different colors. but what stood the most for me is the detail of his gloves.

diluc’s glove for his red dead of night skin is fully black. on the other hand, on his default skin, the top side of the glove is black while the palm side of the glove is fully red.

this made me wonder since plain colored gloves are most common to use when it comes to formal attires and yet diluc chose at two-colored pair instead of a plain black or red one. i began to revisit some of diluc’s lore from events and voicelines out of sheer curiousity.

during the hidden strife event, diluc has stated that he only kept letters from the past in case they prove to be useful in the future, and yet he has kept (and have recently read) kaeya’s letters from the said past, even when some of those letters were only out of kaeya’s concern for him.

diluc also kept kaeya’s compensation gift even if it doesn’t match the mansion’s interior.

during the weinlesefest, the traveler asked him regarding the voice from the wine bottle, that of which he responded with the following statement [regarding his late father].

connecting all of these together, one could conclude that diluc knows the definition of the past and lives it through, but that doesn’t stop him from being sentimental about it.

diluc has a complex character which is sometimes (or maybe often) left unnoticed with all the running gags about his deadpan stare and remarks about kaeya and the knights of favonius.

he got his old uniform re-modeled for the sake of nostalgia but using it instead in accomplishing his newfound resolve after three years of solitary sojourn in search for the truth.

in his vision story, it was explicitly stated that as much as he doesn’t talk about his past, he also doesn’t deny it. he acknowledges that his past is a part of his present.

in this sense, i’m inclined to think that diluc’s gloves could’ve been his own way of remembering what his hands have committed during those years of his raging anger and loss, that his hands are both stained and that cannot be changed even under the guise of nobility and fame; it could be his way of admitting that his persona as the master of the dawn winery and the vigilante darknight hero aren’t two separate entities, but rather his acceptance that both personas, as well as his past self and deeds, are all part of the diluc ragnvindr that he is today.

note: to be clear, the part about the purpose of his gloves is a headcanon. however, the analysis itself is my conclusion from the dialogues, events, and voicelines stated.

I forgot to mention that I got C2 Neuvi and IM ROLLING HEAD OVER HEELS FOR THIS CHIEF JUSTICE.

Tighnari popped up when I got Neuvi to C1 and this banner has been so good to me. 😭💖 I mean, I could've gotten C2 Diluc... but Tighnari's at C3 and I'm not complaining. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Tighnari, Neuvi, and Diluc make bombs. ✨🔥✨ (And Zhongli protects them from these bombs...)

And my next character should be a standard so 🙏🏻 I'm hoping for a C2 Diluc if the Wishes gods wanna bless me with my main(or Neuvi again if they're feeling nice). 🥰 Look at em

How's he less constellations than Neuvi? ✨ He must surpass all other 5 stars! I need my Darknight Hero to be all powerful! DILUUUUUC 😩 C6 MAGICALLY FOR ME. CONSTELLATE YOURSELF.

hatred (cw. mentions injuries. diluc x harbinger!reader)

“The more you hate, the more you love,” they say, Diluc merely scoffs at this. He spent half of his life resenting the people of your nation and field of work, yet he wonders why he gravitates towards you despite being his so-called enemy.

Diluc’s eyes turn into slits as he and the last person he ever wanted to cross paths with makes eye contact. “Get out.”

You let out a gasp and clutched your chest, feigning a hurt expression. “I haven’t even been here for less than a minute and you already want me gone, Master Diluc?”

The darknight hero grits his teeth, “Get out before I drag your ass out of my premises.”

You clicked your tongue, “Always so cruel.”

Enraged, Diluc lunges, but halts his movements when he sees you clutching your abdomen, hands coated in crimson. “Why are you-“ His words falter as you stagger, and Diluc barely managed to catch you without almost falling himself.

He scowls,” What the hell is wrong with you?”

You notice the latter’s fleeting gaze and smile grimly, “I didn’t know where else to go.”

“Just because I’m doing this doesn’t mean we’re on good terms, fatui.”

“The thought never crossed my mind.” You let out an airy chuckle, but winced when Diluc pressed a cloth against your wound, “Can’t you be more gentle, Diluc?"

The latter forces himself to not pinch the other’s injury as a means of revenge. “We are not on a first name basis.”

“I’d say we’re past that, seeing as you’re in my lap right now-“ Diluc’s face flush a vivid red as he strikes you in the head. “Ow! You ought to be more careful with your patients!”

“Get the fuck out. I don’t know what came over me that I even let you stay here even after lights out.”

You pout, “You do know you can drop the act? It’s finally just us, babe.” You could feel the darknight’s embarrassment seeping through the room, cheeks flared so scarlet that could rival the hue of his hair.

“You’re so insufferable,” Diluc shoves away from your grasp and snarls, “I have no clue on why I even agreed to have some kind of relationship with someone as the likes of you-“

You only hum in response as you pull the latter closer by the waist, “Hm. What else?”

“Just thinking about my feelings for you makes me feel repulsed. I can’t believe I’m actually here with you out of all people.” Diluc continues to ramble on, “You’re stubborn, careless, a war freak, and yet here I am succumbing to your fucking charms once again-”

You kissed the crown of his head, “And?”

“I hate you.” The darknight seethes, but momentarily relaxes when you give him a peck on the lips.

“One more.” Your voice turned husky, teasing. You kissed your lover once more, your contact lasting longer than the previous ones. “I want one more.”

Diluc wanted to swipe your stupid grin off of your face. “I hate you so-mph!”

You kiss him with more passion, “I love you though, and it’ll remain that way until l I heave my dying breath.”
