It's The Way He...

Characters: Albedo, Ayato, Childe, Diluc, Kaeya, Thoma, Tighnari, Venti, Zhongli

Summary: Just cute/heartwarming/breath-taking things he does <3

Genre: Fluff + Snippets

CW: gn!reader (you/your), pet name (sweetheart) in Kaeya’s, (darling) Diluc’s and (dear) Zhongli's, first time writing a couple of these characters so I apologize for any OOCness, spoilers for Childe's real name

Albedo

It's the way Albedo unconsciously finds himself gravitating towards you. He'll scoot his chair closer beside you when he sits down, knee bumping against yours. When he talks about some alchemy thing he's doing that you may or may not know anything about, Albedo will peer up from his report, only to find that your faces are undeniably millimetres apart. Whether the male decides to press his forehead against yours or snake a hand to your chin and tip your head so he can capture your lips in a breathtaking kiss is up to chance.

"You're very warm, did you know that? It's no wonder I feel drawn to you."

Ayato

It’s the way Ayato lets you sit beside him while he does boring paperwork, knowing that sometimes you get lonely and sad after not seeing him for so long. It’s the same for him, so really it’s a win-win situation. He leaves a hand free for you to play with his fingers and when you inevitably lean against him (asleep or not), he wraps his arm around you, pulling you even closer.

“Are you sure you’d like to sit with me? I’m afraid it won’t be much fun." … "Nothing sways you once you set your mind to it, is there? Very well, but remember you’re free to leave whenever.”

Childe

It's the way Childe - no, Ajax wraps his red scarf around you when you begin to shiver, the cold of Snezhnaya not something many can withstand. Without a second thought, he removes the article from himself, tugging on your hand to stop and turn you around. When you look at him confused, asking what’s wrong and why you stopped, the male plants a kiss on your nose, laughing before gently scolding you. But the loving smile and the newfound shine in his eyes as he concentrates on tying the scarf tells you he wouldn’t rather be doing anything else but caring and loving you.

“Where do you think you’re going? You’ll freeze your cute nose off if you keep travelling underdressed like that! Come here, this’ll keep you warm.”

Diluc

It’s the way Diluc pours all the passion and love he can into his kisses. While they only happen behind closed doors, away from prying eyes, that fact is easily disregarded with how special they are. He wishes to convey how much his love for you burns, how it consumes him sometimes to the point that it’s overwhelming. But he was never good with words, not when it comes to feelings, so his actions will have to speak for him.

“Darling, I’m home.” He calls, hanging up his coat. By the time he’s done you’re already in front of him, arms wrapping around him. Your own ‘welcome back’ is muffled by his clothes, but it still causes him to smile softly. After a moment one of his warm hands removes itself from against your back, cupping your cheek instead. Gently, he pulls your face away only to crash his lips against yours, the arm still snaked around you tightening just a little. Yeah, he’s definitely home.

Kaeya

It's the way Kaeya will sling an arm around you any and everywhere, pulling you impossibly closer to him. Sometimes it’s because he spotted someone eyeing you, but most of the time it’s because he loves having you right there next to him. That and there are moments he or you are just feeling a little clingy <3

“Ah ah~ You’re drifting away from me sweetheart. Do I perhaps smell? No? Well then, let me pull you back so you're by my side. There, much better.”

Thoma

It's the way Thoma will drop by your place of work or education while he's out and about doing errands. Sometimes, you wonder if he plans his route so that he can pass the building you're in. Depending on the time of day and your schedules, the male will offer to take you out for a meal as a well-deserved break (but also to spend time with you <3)

"(Y/N), what a surprise to see you here! … Ahaha, okay, maybe not really a surprise, but it’s good to see you! Do you have time right now? There’s this food stall in town that just opened and I’d like to take you :)"

Tighnari

It’s the way Tighnari rambles on and on about the flora and fauna of the forest. Sure, he kind of does that already when explaining things, but with you there’s ten times more info being delivered, a constant stream of knowledge flowing from him. Your favourite thing though is when the two of you are out on walks and your lover spots something interesting- something you’d like - and takes a hold of your wrist before dragging you closer. His tail starts to wag slightly the more and more he explains, though he doesn’t notice. You do :)

“Come, come. You see this? This is one of the harder flowers to find in the Avidya Forest. They only grow in the denser, lush parts of the woods under the shade of canopies. Its petals are soft to the touch and are usually used to produce medicine. However, some do use them as household decorations while others-” he plucks the plant from the ground, holding it out to you, “give them as gifts to their lovers.”

Venti

It's the way Venti sends a gentle wind your way to let you know he's near, or as a warning just before he's to cling to you in a surprise back hug. Then, there are times his little wind storms are just to tease you. He'll muss your hair or clothes, blow the pages of your book, brush the hat off your head all while laughing merrily, watching as you try to fix yourself. Of course, more than half the time he denies ever doing it in the first place and every other time he's giggling to himself, not saying a word. He’s having fun though, and it’s not like you really mind :)

“It’s really windy today…” a patron in the bar states, gazing out the nearby window. The memory of a strong gust nearly making you lose an important paper resurfaces as you sip your drink. “Perhaps Lord Barbatos is feeling mischievous,” you offer, side-eyeing the green-dressed bard not too far away. While makes no outward reaction, opting to down another glass of wine instead, you don’t miss the smile on his face or the glimmer in his eye.

Zhongli

It's the way Zhongli waits patiently for your return home on the couch, a cup of tea in hand with your favourite drink waiting for you on the coffee table. He'll be gently blowing at the steam right when you walk in. Turning his full attention to you, a smile and warm greeting are the first things you're presented with. The funeral consultant knows of your hectic day, having asked the night before, and as any gentleman would, Zhongli intends to help you relax.

"Any work you have can wait dear. Come, sit and have a drink. If I remember correctly, there was a story I promised to tell you, no? Why don't I tell it now?"

Genshin Men and Love Languages ♡

Our boys are just head over heels for their darling! They can’t help themselves but express their love for you any chance they get—feeling satisfied and comforted by showering you with all the affection they have. But in what language do they show this affection?

Diluc, Kaeya, Ayato, Thoma x gn!reader II comfort, fluff

Content warnings: stress-habits like eyebrow plucking and nail biting (Diluc), insecurity/shame (Kaeya), play-hitting (Thoma), Thoma calling you pumpkin (Thoma).

Diluc thinks his love language is gift-giving (because he has a budget the size of a whale to spend on spoiling his lover), but it’s actually physical touch! Being the withdrawn and guarded man he is, he’s not used to physical contact with anyone, so he was never able to discover this integral part of himself until you wandered into his heart. When he first fell in love with you, despite his natural reservations, he’d find himself subconsciously reaching out to you. When he’d pour your wine as you sat at his bar counter, he’d lightly brush his pinkie against yours as you held your glass out to him. Even a gentle brush like this was enough to send his mind spinning and heart thundering out of his chest! Once you two began officially dating, he found himself losing all control when it came to touching you. No matter where you two were, he always had to have a hand on you. On the small of your back, holding your delicate hand in his, even a large palm around the back of your neck—his thumb rubbing circles on the base of your scalp. He had to admit, the last one was his favorite. He could never be comfortable with PDA, so that was about the extent of his touches in public. But in private? He’s insatiable. He often, bashfully, asks you to sit on his lap while he works; your arms around his shoulders and head resting in the crook of his neck. He finds your embrace limits the stress he feels when weathering his paperwork. It makes the workload fly by, with him being able to press gentle kisses to your forehead or rub your back comfortingly instead of engaging in harmful stress-habits like plucking at his eyebrows or biting his nails. He also didn’t expect to love kissing you as much as he did. Before you, he always believed kissing to be a flavorless exchange. He didn’t understand exactly why people did it. Until the first time you leaned up and brushed your soft lips against his. You turned his world upside down. Now, any time he got you by yourself, he’d pull you in for a rough kiss—like he’d been holding his breath until he could get his lips on yours again. And at home? It doesn’t matter if you’re getting dressed, reading, bathing, eating, he finds somewhere to put his lips. He likes kissing from your knuckles all the way up to your shoulder and back down again—this way you have another arm free to continue with your prior task. On paper, this is very considerate of him. But in practice? How does he expect you to focus when he’s basically devouring you!!! He most needs your touch after he comes home from a night of protecting Mondstadt. He finds you asleep in bed, and after a much-needed shower, he’d join you—pulling you onto his chest so that your weight would press down on him. He found this position to be the perfect relief—equal parts grounding and loving. Much to his surprise, after you entered his life, he found he felt safest when you were in his embrace.

Kaeya’s love language is words of affirmation! His silver tongue uniquely equips him with the ability to utter the exact words you need to hear for comfort in any given moment. You’ll never lose confidence around him, for he never fails to be your sweet cheerleader. Your ears are his favorite workstation, with labor he is (for once) eager and proud to shoulder. He gently brushes his lips against them as he whispers into them, kissing the space behind them after each reassurance and praise he utters. What’s so sweet about your dynamic as a couple is, your words of affirmation flow both ways. Despite the confident airs he typically puts on for others, Kaeya is actually quite insecure. He feels like he constantly needs to perform for other’s approval—that if he were to be his authentic self, he would lose the favor of others, that he would be rejected or ostracized. It is extremely healing for him when you praise him for the qualities he typically hides from the public—the parts of himself he feels others wouldn’t accept. When you kiss the eye that’s typically hidden behind his eyepatch, telling him you find it beautiful, that he wouldn’t be your Kaeya without it, it brings light to his soul. When you catch him with his morning bed head, his eyes puffy and morning shadow along his jaw, and you wrap your arms around him—telling him how much you love him and think he looks adorable all comfortable and sleepy, he wants to stay in bed with you forever. He feels safe under your gaze, while he feels pressure to look a certain way under the gaze of others. You assure him that you’ll love him in any form he takes, so your home is a breath of fresh air where he is free to be himself. Most of all, your words affirming how much you love him for who he is are the most precious to him. When you tell him that he doesn’t need to feel ashamed of where he came from, that you love him past, present and future, that the person he is his choice and you love him for it, he feels seen. He feels seen and he feels safe. You know. You know everything. And you love him not despite it, but for it. He had never expected such a person would ever enter his life, and now that you have, his once cold world has become so much warmer.

It’s ironic that Ayato’s love language is quality time, since his position as the Yashiro Commissioner leaves him with very little time for anything other than work. 48 hour work days are normal for him—with about 15 minutes of sleep separating them. However, his lack of time is what makes his appreciation for quality time so much deeper. Of course, he makes sure you are well taken care of with gifts and services he has ordered for you, but you find his most intense love in the free five minutes in his schedule he dedicates solely to you. He tries not to go too long without seeing you, work sometimes getting in the way of that, but whenever you visit him, even when it’s in the middle of a brutal work day, his attention is all yours. You stop in at his office whenever you miss him and his quill hits the desk before you even cross the threshold of the door. Sometimes you need a hug and a kiss, sometimes you ask him for something you require, but most of the time, you simply sit on his desk for a few minutes—just wanting to talk about your day as he comfortingly rests his hand on your thigh, drawing circles on it with his thumb. These moments of reprieve you give him in the midst of an ocean of responsibility are priceless to him; he doesn’t know where he would be without you there to recharge him with your presence. Any chance he gets to have you with him, he jumps at, showing you that, despite his other duties, you will always come first—for you are the most fulfilling responsibility he is honored to shoulder.

Thoma’s love language is acts of service. His job as a housekeeper means he spends all day taking care of people, and he does so because he really does love them! Not only does Thoma have the biggest heart that holds a tenderness for everyone, but the duo are his closest companions. So if he already takes such amazing care of his friends or even strangers, imagine how well he’s going to take care of you! Every day when he returns home, you have to physically restrain him from doing everything under the sun to please you. He doesn’t even let you get up from the couch to greet him. “Hold it!!” he yells, rushing over to where you sit instead and sliding his hands around your waist to gift you a soft kiss. When you whine and squirm in his grip, miffed that he fooled you into letting him do all the work for his welcome home, he pinches your blushing cheeks and lets out that boyish laugh that never fails to melt your heart. How can you stay mad at your adorable lover? He was just too good at escaping punishment. His services don’t end there. After you two moved in together, he quickly discovered that you wouldn’t just take his tending to you lying down, and that he had to tell little white lies to escape your detection. He’ll tell you he’s just going to wash his face after work, but really he’ll run you a warm bath. It’s only after the tub is full and you’ve been lured into the bathroom that you discover you’ve been conned. You’ll huff and tell him that he can just take the bath he ran himself! Only for him to counter that he already took a bath at the Kamisato Estate before he came home. Point Thoma. After he gets you into the bath, he has at least half an hour to make dinner for you before you get wise. When you exit the bathroom in the fluffy robe he fetched for you, seeing the feast he threw together in so little time, you immediately grab and lightly hit his arm in punishment. “Thoma!!! I could’ve helped!!!”. “But I wanted to do it for you, pumpkin!”. No matter how much you scorn him for pampering you, your anger only draws a laugh from him. If you get really upset at him, shaking a finger at him and telling him off, his laughter will grow tenfold; his signature crooked grin adorns his face as he grabs a hold of the hands you use as weapons and nuzzle his nose to yours. You’re no match for him, so all you can do is sigh and accept how he spoils you!

your work is fucking amazing.

hey! hi, hello, how are you? :)

may i request wanderer, (scara, whatever his goofy ahh name is rn), alhaitham, ajax and kaeya reacting to reader, who’s usually not a fan of physical affection, coming up to them and snaking an arm around their waists while resting their head into their neck?

thank you!! 🩷

CW: swearing in wanderer's part because I believe he would say fuck

HC: Reader is gender-neutral, Reader does not have a vision.

Characters: Wanderer, Al Haitham, Ajax (Childe), Kaeya [Seperately]

Note: Thank you so much! I apologise for the late upload as I am currently studying. I got some time for myself so here you go. I hope I do this justice. Please make sure to interact with the post and enjoy it!

Al Haitham

Al Haitham tends to be prepared for whatever is to come, however, the sudden feeling of an arm around his waist was not something he thought he would ever need to prepare for.

Kaveh was finally out of the house, preferably looking for a job rather than complaining about everything Al Haitham did. This also gave Al Haitham the luxury of inviting you over without Kaveh taking your full attention. He wouldn’t say he was jealous, but Kaveh knew how to take care of company far better than he could. It was the one thing that left a sour taste in Al Haitham’s mouth, but he would never let Kaveh know about that.

You both were enjoying the quiet atmosphere of the room, nose shoved in books and lounging in your chairs. It was clear you both had chemistry which didn’t need to involve spoken words or gestures, Al Haitham liked your quiet company and you enjoyed his.

It didn’t take long but he finished his book, a little too fast it seemed because he could still see you weren’t done with yours. Not wanting to bother your reading, he closed the book and stood up to get another one. As he tried to quietly navigate the bookshelf, he didn’t realise your eyes slowly lifting off the pages to look at him.

Al Haitham, back turned, looked through the shelf thoroughly. It was clear he had pretty much read everything else on the shelf. He either had to reread another book or go out to find another one. Didn’t seem like a bad date idea to take you out book shopping with him. However before he could reach a decision, you began your attack.

An arm reached around his waist, followed by a gentle head on his shoulder. Al Haitham tried his best not to flinch but the shock of such an unexpected gesture made him shudder a bit. He turned to look down at you, who had slyly made their way to him without him realizing. You had a gentle smile on your face, happy to catch him off guard.

You both were typically not physical. It wasn’t something Al Haitham was against but it was pretty clear to him that you were not someone who indulged in that sort of affection. So seeing you make the first step was not something Al Haitham had prepared for. He looked back at the bookshelf.

“What are you looking for?” You perked up, trying to stifle a laugh. You knew what you did and you were fishing for a reaction from him. “ A book.” He answered, almost robotically.

“Hmm… I’m certain you read everything on this shelf” You could see the corner of his mouth twitch. It was small but he was reacting, you could feel your ego getting bigger. “Yes, you’re right.” Was all he could muster.

It never occurred to Al Haitham that he would enjoy such proximity to another human being. He tended to avoid any type of physical touch from most people. However, the way you held him just made him feel so warm, especially knowing you would never typically do something like this. He knew he would never recover from this, only wanting more in the future.

“Do you want to go out and get some new books then?” You ask, your head nuzzling closer to his neck. “That would be preferable.” He answered. You let out a chuckle, arm slipping off from him. But before you could pull yourself away, Al Haitham reached out his arm, forcing you to stay in your place, both of you now wrapped in each other’s embrace.

You let out a laugh. “Enjoying this much?” “Can’t say I don’t. “ His response only made you laugh more. “ Well it’s up to you, we could go get new books, or, we could just stay like this. What do you say?” Before Al Haitham could respond, a creek from the door could be heard.

“I’M BACK, OMG YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE THE THINGS I HAD TO DEAL WITH- Oh you have company.” Kaveh burst in, welcoming you the minute he saw you. Luckily for Al Haitham both of your reflexes were fast enough to pull away before he had seen you guys so close to one another.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, barely an inch apart, you both stood trying to seem as normal as possible. Al Haitham couldn’t believe he was getting embarrassed by almost getting caught by his roommate.

Al Haitham wasn’t prepared for what had happened today but he knew you planned to do more of this in the future. Hopefully, he would be prepared for the next time you did attack, and maybe he should find ways to kick Kaveh out for longer. He definitely did not want Kaveh to walk into whatever you both had planned for the future.

Childe (Ajax)

The closest that Childe has ever been able to touch you was probably during your friendly spars. You loved your distance and tended to keep a lot between the two of you. Even though you both had been together for quite a while it seemed you were not the type to get touchy with others. So Childe himself was amused when you decided to wrap an arm around his waist.

“What’s the occasion?” He asked, trying his best to focus on what was written in front of him. It was like you had calculated it. For once he was at the bank properly reading documents at his office when you decided to pop by. Now here you were slithered next to him, wrapped around him with your head on his shoulder.

He tried not to react, but he honestly wanted to throw away whatever he was reading just to return the favour. It was bold of you to do something like this so suddenly at such a random time. You never came by when he was working, even though he insisted. Paperwork was not fun for him but you were a rule-abiding citizen when you weren’t on a battlefield. He just had to know what was going through your mind for you to do this.

“No particular reason. Just felt like it.” You answered, nonchalantly. Your tone was dull and meek, escaping your throat like a whisper. Your usual fighting spirit was not there and he could sense it the minute you spoke. He finally looked at you and it was clear as day that you were not feeling well. Your hair was dishevelled and your eyebags were very noticeable.

Every single scenario flooded his mind. Was it because of work? Was someone rude to you? What happened to the person who would maniacally laugh whenever they got a scratch on him? He wanted to bombard you with questions but he stopped himself. Maybe it was because he was using his brain at this very moment rather than his instinct to fight, but he knew asking questions was not going to make you feel any better. So he reacted instead.

Shifting the documents to one of his hands, he let the other one wrap around you, engulfing into his side, closing any gaps between the two of you. You only responded by letting him do so, completely enveloping yourself in his arms and him in yours.

“Are you sure nothing’s wrong?”He asked, giving you one more chance to answer if you wanted to. “I’m alright. Just let me stay like this for a while.” Even if he was disappointed by your response he wouldn’t show it. Instead, he responded with a hum, not prodding you with any more questions and letting you enjoy the warmth he could provide with the embrace.

So you both stayed together, wrapped in each other's arms while he worked. It didn’t take long for you to fall asleep but that didn’t stop Childe from keeping you by his side. Even in your sleep, your arm refused to let his waist go which did make him chuckle, maybe he could tease about this when you were feeling better.

Honestly, he expected the first time you held him like this to be in a more romantic setting but he was not going to complain about what he was getting. It was already a big step that you decided to come to his side for comfort. Your usual method of letting go of bad feelings was always sparing so it was a nice change of pace.

Maybe next time you do feel bad and need his comfort he will be able to get some words out of you. For now, he’s going to let you do whatever you want, even if it means catching him off guard with an arm around his waist.

Kaeya Alberich

“Cheers for a happy 6 months!” Kaeya chuckled. You both clinked your glasses, giggling tipsy from the alcohol. You both had been dating for half a year now, which was unbelievable in Kaeya’s mind. Kaeya always had a one-sided crush on you ever since you both had done academy training together. Who knew you felt the same? And now here you both were, celebrating together.

Kaeya could see Diluc roll his eyes yet he didn’t care. He knew it was considered cheesy to celebrate every month of a relationship, but you were the type to enjoy such things so he couldn’t say no. He began to love these silly celebrations with you, it felt special.

“You guys do know this isn’t the most romantic place to celebrate right?” Diluc piped up, as he organized the wine shelf behind him. Kaeya stuck out a playful tongue at him before taking a sip, which only made your tipsy self giggle some more.

“Yeah yeah, but it’s the place where we first confessed! It has special memories, you should be glad your tavern can create such happy moments.” You say, words a bit slurred but still understandable.

As you spoke you could hear the other tavern people cheer, which only made you cheer along. Kaeya could only stare at how stunning you looked at this moment. He still couldn’t wrap his head around the fact he was dating such a wonderful individual.

Diluc sighed, preparing you both another glass. He slid the glasses over. “Here then, for a successful 6 months.” He mumbled, rolling his eyes as you and Kaeya once again cheered.

Kaeya took the glass without hesitation, ready to down it in an instant, but he wasn’t prepared for what you had planned. An arm wrapped around his waist, pulling him and his chair closer to you. Kaeya had already begun to drink but the sudden action caused him to choke on it.

He coughed so much, that the drink spit out of his mouth. Diluc looked in disgust while you only could worry. “Are you alright?” You ask concerned, but Kaeya couldn’t hear anything. It was unbelievable, you had wrapped your arm around his waist! You both have never been this close before!

You tended to always stay in your own space and Kaeya wasn’t going to push it, especially since you guys were still freshly dating in his mind. He wasn’t going to risk ruining a relationship he dreamt of for years. Maybe it was the alcohol but it seemed that you had the confidence to pull such a sneaky trick.

“I’m fine i’m fine. It went down the wrong pipe for a second.” He tried to laugh it off, wheezing between sentences. He hoped you didn’t notice his panic, he didn’t want you taking your arms off him anytime soon. You smiled at himy placing your head on his shoulders which only made his head spin more.

Diluc looked at Kaeya in amusement. He got front-row seats to see his brother who was typically cocky completely speechless. Kaeya looked as a devilish smile crept up on Diluc’s face. “You know, it really is such a special day. Here, more drinks. On the house.” He slid you both more drinks. Kaeya could only stare in disbelief as you continued to chug them down like nothing.

“You’re being kind today Diluc! Thank you!” You gleefully exclaimed, setting the glass down and wrapping another arm around Kaeya. Your head that was on his neck pushed closer, and Kaeya could feel your hot breath on his neck, which only made him feel hotter.

The alcohol wasn’t helping, he could feel the dizziness get more intense as you pushed yourself closer to him. He was certain you were going to melt and mould him into slime with all the heat he was accumulating.

He could see Diluc prepare another drink, a sly smile still on his face. If this was how you acted tipsy he wasn’t ready to face you when you were a complete drunk. He stood up from the chair, pushing the glasses away from you which only rewarded him with a whine.

“we had enough for tonight. I’ll take you home.” You pouted but mumbled an OK, standing up yourself. However, you refused to let go of his waist, forcing him to stay close to you at all times. He tried to control his shyness but it was hard when you were so close.

“Hope you both enjoy the rest of your anniversary!” Diluc called out, a smile on his face as Kaeya glared, guiding you out of the tavern. He hoped the next time you decided to pull a stunt like this, you both weren’t as drunk anymore.

He also planned on never having anniversary celebrations at the Angel Share ever again. Or at least not on Diluc’s shift. He wasn’t ready for what other PDA you had in store, knowing Diluc would fan the flames to embarrass him. Maybe next time you guys can go drinking at each other’s houses instead. You’ll have to see on your seventh anniversary.

Wanderer

“What the fuck?” That was the first words that came out of his mouth when you decided to wrap an arm around his waist, placing your head on his shoulder.

“Shut up I’m trying to rest here.” You mumble, closing your eyes, enjoying the icy sensation from his porcelain-like skin. The Sumeru desert was hot, unbearably hot. You didn’t want to come here but when you’re working in the Akademiya you didn’t have a choice in what you had to do to progress your research.

Lucky for you, you were accompanied by a walking ice pack. It was a shame his attitude wasn’t as cool as he was.

“No, I won’t, get off me.” He hissed, trying to push you off himself. You just rolled your eyes, gripping him a bit tighter. You knew he could easily toss you aside if he wanted to get you off. He had a vision that allowed him to blow you away in an instant, so him being so meek was an act.

“Yeah yeah, good luck with getting me off, i’m quite persistent.” You continue to mumble, pushing your head into the crevice of his neck. Wanderer had a very peculiar scent. A mixture of grass and freshly picked kalpalata lotus. It was such an odd smell but you honestly have got a bit addicted to it. It also helped his frosty exterior enhance it. Either way, the smell felt clean and cool, a refreshing scent during such hot weather.

You could hear him scoff, the sound ringing in your ears a bit since you were so close. You were close enough if you just turned your head you could peck him on the lips, you would have done so if you weren’t so tuckered out.

“Whatever, I’ll let you off this time. I won’t let you pull this shit next time.” You could only chuckle. This wasn’t the first time he tried to threaten you. To be honest he seemed to dull down a lot more compared to everything that happened before. You both weren't usually touchy, actually, you were not touchy at all, so whenever when you do shit like this it always ticked him off. You were honestly surprised he hadn’t gone into a swearing fit like when you first held his hand. It was almost as if he was slowly getting used to your touch, which you didn’t mind.

However today you were just out of it, too tired to mess around with him or worry about touch. The shade of the cave you both sat under accompanied by his cool refreshing self attached to your side made you drowsy. You could feel your brain finally go into shut-down mode.

“Hey, don’t you dare go to sleep… ” You would think he was trying to stop you from falling asleep but his intentions were clear when you could hear how softly he whispered those words to you. You could feel his arm, which was nowhere to be seen until now, finally, wrap around you from the side.

“If you fall asleep I’m going to leave you here to fend for yourself…” He continued to whisper. It almost sounded like a lullaby but you knew the sun would be rising from the west if that was the case. “Yeah yeah, at least bury me in the sand before you do.” That was the final words you said before you finally got knocked out.

To no one’s surprise when you did wake up, he was still at your side. Both of you were unmoved from the original position from when you had fallen asleep. The only difference was that the sun had set and the stars littered the sky.

“Good morning to you.” He grumbled which you answered with a yawn. “ What happened to leaving me alone to fend for myself?” You asked, trying to let go but as he remained unmoved you could not.

You huffed, trying to push him off but he finally decided to use his given strength to make sure you couldn’t. He didn’t turn to look at you, instead focused on the sky. You sighed, giving up and following his gaze up to the sky. Was the sky always full of that many stars?

“I changed my mind.”

IGNORING YOU AFTER AN ARGUMENT [PART FOUR]

synopsis: they ignore you after an argument

characters: kaeya, alhaitham x gn! reader (separately)

warnings: angst to fluff, hurt/comfort, yelling, arguments (obviously), mentions of alcohol/ being drunk, descriptions of the way the akademiya works may be incorrect, no major spoilers are mentioned

notes: this is officially the last part of the series! i’m so sorry that it took since july to post this part. i will say that i got quite a few complaints about the last part (specifically with heizou, even though it was deeply misinterpreted by a lot of people) so i decided to tone these down a bit more. hopefully this is still enjoyable. thank you again for all the love this series has gotten, it truly means a lot <3

part 1 (scaramouche and yelan), part two (childe and ayato), part three (xiao and heizou)

Kaeya:

What had started off as a mere injury from an expedition — an accident — quickly became the catalyst for the huge argument between you and kaeya.

It was no one’s fault, really, but it freaked kaeya out a lot that you were even injured in the first place. It was just a few scrapes here and there and an incredibly small fracture to your non-dominant hand. It wouldn’t even hinder your ability to fight or do work as a knight.

You had no idea why kaeya blew up on you like he did, but his words hurt. Perhaps it was insecurity or fear deep from within his childhood. Either way, it hurt.

“Incompetent,” “clumsy,” “undeserving of being a knight.” How could he say such things? Especially to his lover of all people. Even worse was when he stormed off afterward and left you alone — the argument far from being resolved.

“Kaeya?” you called out when you heard the front door open and then shut loudly.

There was no response, yet you knew he was home by the sound of his footsteps padding against the floor. You walked out to the living room, relieved your boyfriend was home. It meant you could finally resolve this argument.

“Hey, where were you?” you gently asked. Though you were still pretty upset, having him home meant you could resolve all of this.

Kaeya glared at you, his eyes as cold as his vision. You frowned as he walked straight passed you, “Where are you goi-”

He shrugged off the hand you placed on his arm to pull him back, a grunt fell from his lips. Although it was ever so small, you were able to smell the alcohol on his breath. Archons, how did you not notice he was drunk before?

“What the hell, Kaeya! You seriously went out and got drunk?” Your voice wavered. What you hoped would sound like anger actually sounded more hurt than anything. It didn’t matter though, Kaeya just ignored you again and walked straight into your bedroom.

You stood there standing blankly in the middle of the living room, hands clenched at your sides and a pool of tears filling up your eyes. This wasn’t like Kaeya at all and you didn’t like it.

—

Bustling footsteps and loud voices filled the normally silent corridor of the Knights of Favonius headquarters. You had just stepped out of your office, ready to go collect your work for the day from Jean, when you ran into all the commotion. Ignoring it, you walked across the hall while trying not to bump into anyone.

Your hand fell against the door to her office, two knocks sounding out on the other side. Jean called you in and greeted you. You attempted to greet her back, but your voice just came out strained as you saw Kaeya standing in there already. He didn’t even look at you.

The Acting Grandmaster had a look of confusion on her face as she glanced between the two of you. Jean was well aware of your relationship — hell, all of Mondstadt was — but the way you were acting now was just flat out strange, almost like you were complete strangers to each other.

“Y/n, Kaeya? Is everything alright?” Jean hesitantly asked.

“Everything is fine.”

“No problems here.”

You both spoke at the same time. An awkward silence was all that remained afterward.

Though Jean noticed, she chose to ignore it. Because, although there was clearly an issue between the two of you, this was work. Whether you were getting along or not, she needed the best of the best for this mission and you were the only two able to do it.

It was an expedition to Dragonspine, a dangerous one at that. Cases of people going missing up on the mountain were continuing to rise and an investigation was well overdue. Jean handed you both a folder that contained all the details. All you had to do was go up for the day and stay the night at a campsite to monitor and investigate the area and then report back the following day. Simple enough.

The only problem was that you and Kaeya were the ones going. He wasn’t even talking to you, so how were you supposed to do this investigation in the first place? Especially when he looked as if he wanted to be anywhere but there.

“Is there a reason why you’re sending me with Y/n? With all due respect, I think I could handle this on my own, especially with their…injuries,” Kaeya spoke bitterly. Your heart dropped into your stomach and Jean glanced at you.

Maybe it would be a good thing if you wouldn’t have to go, but you weren’t so lucky. Jean sighed and looked Kaeya dead in the eye, “This is the final decision, Kaeya. Y/n and you are the only available captains we have right now and we need this investigation to happen immediately. As for the injuries Y/n has sustained, you can watch out for them while you’re both up there. You’ll both leave in an hour, make sure you’re prepared by then.”

Kaeya huffed and stormed out of the room while you stood there stunned. You’d never heard Jean be so forward before, but you were thankful for it nonetheless. She ushered you out of her office, but not before asking if you were alright. You just brushed it off, though.

You were alright for right now, but you could only hope it would get better during the expedition.

—

Dragonspine looked ever so ominous as you gazed up at it. The broken pillars floating from the sky and the storm like clouds surrounding the peak didn’t help. You could practically feel the frost already trying to stick itself to your skin.

Kaeya grabbed his bag off the ground and put on his thick winter coat, the same one you remembered giving to him as a Christmas gift last year. A small smile made its way to your face seeing him wear it.

Unfortunately for you, your coat wasn’t as warm. It wasn’t like you were often deployed to Dragonspine in the first place, so you never felt as though it was important you needed to get a nice coat. You seriously regretted that choice now.

It was freezing already and you were only at the base of the mountain. Kaeya started off once he got everything together, still not speaking to you. You barely noticed he’d even left in the first place. You sighed as you caught up with him, hesitantly staying behind him. Should you move up to walk next to him? Walk in front of him? You couldn’t make up your mind so you just stayed behind him. Besides, he was more experienced with Dragonspine anyway. If anything were to happen, it’d probably be best if he was up front.

—

Hours passed since you had first arrived. You guys had both dropped your things off at your makeshift campsite and separated ways afterward. It wasn’t really your choice, but Kaeya immediately went the opposite way from you and you didn’t bother arguing with him.

“Just get the job done, it’s all you have to do,” was what you told yourself.

The sunset was beginning to end and darkness was making it’s way into the sky. You sighed as you stared at the clipboard in your hand. Nothing. You had found absolutely nothing. If Barbatos really did exist, you prayed that Jean wouldn’t be angry with your findings.

You trudged back to the campsite dreadfully, not wanting to deal with Kaeya right now. When you arrived, he was already there. A fire was started and a tent was built behind him. Both of your belongings were on opposite sides of it.

If he noticed your arrival, he made no show of it. Your hands shook lightly — whether from the cold, nervousness, or both, you didn’t know. You placed your tools and clipboard back with your things and sat down a few feet away from him. Kaeya’s eyes were concentrated on the fire as you rubbed your hands together desperately trying to warm up. By now, you were full blown shivering and your lips were fading of color. It was clear you were not trained to handle the cold and the fire felt like it was doing absolutely nothing.

You glanced at Kaeya again, wishing you could just lay with him to stay warm, but he was still ignoring you. It all felt so…helpless. Your eyes dropped back down to your hands, and your focus was returned to the fire trying to stop the shaking in your hands and the chattering of your teeth.

Wordlessly, Kaeya grabbed both of your bare hands and gently slipped a pair of thick gloves onto them. Your eyes widened at his sudden actions. The gloves, you noticed, were the extra pair he always brought with him in case you forgot your own whenever it was cold out.

“I knew you’d forget your gloves,” he whispered as he pulled you closer to him, his hands still intertwined with your own.

You placed a hand on his chest and moved your head back to look him in the eye, “Kaeya, I-”

“Shhh,” he hushed you, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have ignored you the way I did and I feel really bad about it. It wasn’t right of me to get angry over your injuries and say the things I did. I should have been more considerate of you. I want you to know I didn’t mean any of what I said last night. I was just scared.”

Kaeya’s vulnerability was unmistakable as he apologized to you. It was rare to see him like that, but you knew he genuinely meant everything he said. Carefully, you rested your head on his chest and held his hand gently.

“It’s okay, Kaeya,” you spoke softly, “Just…don’t do it again, okay? Upset or not, you can always talk to me.”

He silently nodded and leaned his head on yours, “I know. I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

Alhaitham:

Alhaitham and you had been dating for a few years. You met at the Akademiya when you were both scholars, and here you were a few years later, dating and both working for the Akademiya.

Arguments weren’t super uncommon, especially with his rather demeaning and smug personality. But most of the time, things were really smooth and peaceful. You understood each other well, yet, there were always those times when one thing led to another and a full blown argument was happening.

Last night was one of them, but unlike your usual arguments, this one was in public. At the Akademiya. In front of several scholars. Needless to say, it was extremely embarrassing.

Alhaitham had found out that you had been digging through information that you weren’t cleared to look through. Normally, he wouldn’t have said much but let you know of your mistake. But he was in a bad mood already because of the Sages and you messing up was his breaking point.

Yelling and insults filled the echo-y halls of the Akademiya. Eventually, Alhaitham being Alhaitham, just stopped talking and walked off with all of his belongings. Leaving you in the middle of the Akademiya, hands clenched and nothing but anger and embarrassment written all over your face.

Instead of returning home that night, you stayed at Gandharva Ville, where Tighnari was nice enough to let you sleep. He had been a good friend of yours for years, and always had your back whenever you needed him. Plus, it was always nice to see Collei too.

The unfortunate part was returning to the Akademiya the next day. An argument couldn’t halt your work, you knew that. It was hard to shake that dreadful feeling of anxiety that lingered in the back of your mind. That much was also obvious to Tighnari and Collei as well, judging by the faltering smile and half-assed wave you had given on your way out.

The walk to the Akademiya certainly didn’t help to ease your thoughts either. If anything, it only made them worse.

“Stop,” you thought to yourself, “Alhaitham is my boyfriend, not a stranger, or one of the Sages. I shouldn’t be worried about this. He just had a bad day off, that’s all. It wasn’t even my fault.”

Upon your arrival, you gulped down your thoughts as you looked up at the Akademiya.

Here goes nothing.

—

It had been hours since you first arrived. So far, nothing had happened. It almost made you feel a little stupid for feeling so on edge this morning. That was until another scholar barged into your office.

You fought back the urge to grumble. This was the fourth time today they had come in. Normally, you didn’t mind, but seriously? How many of them actually needed this much help? Couldn’t they just go to someone else?

“What do you want?” you spoke, trying not to sound bothered. The scholar had a ton of papers in his hands and a clipboard at the top of the stack. He was lightly shaking, as if he had been carrying it for awhile.

“Sorry to bother you, Y/n,” he spoke politely, “One of the Sages asked me to deliver these to you. They said it needs to go to Alhaitham and you need to get this paper signed by him. It’s all on the clipboard if you want to take a look at it…”

Your eyes widened and your heart sped up a bit. So close, you were so close to escaping him for the day. Any nervousness that had ceased from this morning instantly came rushing back. Quickly, you took the clipboard and papers from the scholars hands and ushered him out of your office.

Maybe this could be a good thing? That was what you tried to ration with, anyway. God, couldn’t someone else do this? Nevertheless, you grabbed the papers and sighed. Although you really didn’t want to see him right now, you stuck to your reasoning from earlier: Alhaitham was your boyfriend, you couldn’t avoid him forever. No matter how much you wanted to.

The papers felt heavier than they looked. You had to steady your hands and body as you walked down the hall. At one point, you had almost dropped them after the pen atop of the clipboard had nearly rolled off.

Breathing in deeply, you walked into the open doorway to his office. “Alhaitham…? I was..told to deliver these to you. They’re from the Sages and they asked me to have you sign this saying you got them,” you spoke as you set the papers down on an empty portion of his desk. It was devastatingly obvious how nervous you were.

No response. He didn’t even look up from his book that he was holding, almost like you weren’t even in the room.

“Alhaitham please, just- can you just sign this? I don’t want to get in trouble,” you pleaded as you slid the clipboard and pen in front of him. A small smirk appeared on his face, one that you didn’t catch. He didn’t look at you, but he did sign the paper.

Your eyes watched him, an incredulous look on your face. Was he seriously this mad at you for messing up? Weren’t you his lover, couldn’t he understand that it was an innocent mistake?

The hands that were resting on your hips warily grabbed the clipboard from his desk, hesitation filled your body. Your eyes fell from his form to the ground. He wasn’t going to budge. Dreadfully, you walked out of the room with the painstaking revelation that your boyfriend was ignoring you.

—

The rest of the day went on the exact same way. You had passed by him a few times in the halls of the library or the main corridors, but the look on his face remained the same. It was blank, sometimes with a smug smile, but overall he just stared ahead. Alhaitham was treating you as if you were nothing but a stranger not worth his time or even worse, a ghost. Like you weren’t there at all.

You weren’t sure what the point of all of it was. It wasn’t helping either of you and it only made you more and more upset. Alhaitham didn’t seem to mind much at all, though. If anything, it was more like an amusing game for him.

Hours had passed since the last encounter between the two of you. By the end of the day, you were exhausted and upset. Normally, you would be happy to just go home and cuddle up to him, but today it was a thought that only brought a bitter taste to your mouth. Of course, you could always go back to Gandharva Ville, but you didn’t want to bother Tighnari and the other forest watchers again.

There was only one last thing that needed to be done before you could go home. All you had to do was turn in a report for a recent experiment to the Sages. It was an important project, so this wasn’t a job that normally belonged to you. But a few days ago, Alhaitham had asked if you could do it for him while he finished another project. Thing was, you had never done it before and were supposed to get help from him today.

When you had gone to ask for help, all you got was the same response as before: absolutely nothing. Getting the papers turned in late would’ve been one things, that was just a signature. But to turn this in late would get you in deep trouble, fired even. You were desperately pleading for him to just either do it himself or tell you how to do it, but it was to no avail.

He was still ignoring you and there was nothing you could do but finish it yourself.

—

Alhaitham was exiting his office with his work materials when he heard faint yelling around the corner. Most people were long gone, but there were still a few lights on. At first he brushed it off, not caring to get involved with whatever was going on. After all, that wasn’t really his job to deal with or interfere with the Sages. But then he heard a familiar voice among the yelling, a much quieter one.

Eagerly, he ran to where the commotion was coming from. That voice was what he recognized as belonging to you, only now you sounded defeated and desperate.

“Please, you don’t understand! I-”

“Shut your mouth, immediately! It is not your place to be interrupting a Sage like this. Your job here is done, you can pack your things and go home. Such incapable people have no place like this at the Akademiya,” a Sage argued, their tone sharp and incredibly mean.

A body was suddenly in front of you, shielding you from the Sage. The second Alhaitham had rounded the corner, he found you, with shaking hands and eyes that were on the verge of tears. “It was my fault, I swear. I was supposed to help them, but I didn’t. Don’t fire Y/n because of my personal errors.”

“Alhaitham? I would trust you know better than to let your partner handle your own work. Regardless, they’re still at fault and there’s nothing to be done now,” the Sage harshly spoke again.

“Then you’ll have to fire me too,” Alhaitham leaned closer to the Sages, a smug look on his face, “and we both know you can’t afford to do that. You’d be losing two of your best.”

The Sages were speechless at Alhaitham’s counters. He was right and they knew it. “We’ll discuss this further tomorrow,” was all they said before storming off. The complacent look on Alhaitham’s face dropped as he turned around to face you.

“I’m sorry,” you whispered, “I messed up again.”

“No, you didn’t. It was all my fault, okay? Any mistakes you made were because of me. Besides, I was wrong to yell at you in the first place yesterday. I’m sorry, Y/n.”

Silence ensued for a little while as you walked alongside each other and to your home. As soon as you were done wiping your nervous tears from earlier you elbowed him in the side. “Ow, damn it, what the hell was that for?”

“You almost made me lose my job, Alhaitham. I think you deserve that,” you smiled.

Your gray haired boyfriend groaned as he rubbed his side, “Fair enough. Let’s just go home, okay?”

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐈𝐈 — 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭

◊ characters. kaeya, zhongli, diluc, childe, gn!reader

◊ genre. angst to fluff, author being held at gunpoint to write a happy ending

◊ part i. when you come home

after months fade into the eternity of years, he's unsure whether or not to continue on with the regularity of his life. you appear to him in his dreams and whisper the sweetness of the dawn to come. yet, how could he dare try and forget the delicate memories he once shared with you?

your disappearance during your commission will forever haunt him until you come home once again.

𝐊𝐚𝐞𝐲𝐚 has lost sleep dreaming of the days leading up to your departure. he stares at the faded, dead petals of the lilies in that pathetic vase. time has hardened the hurt but he remains true to the promise he made to himself. he finds himself awakening from his sleep, blinking back his slumber and squinting at a familiar figure, stroking back his hair.

he recognizes this dream. he's had it before. tears flood his vision as he sobs at your gentle touch. "please, don't do this to me," he whispers into the darkness, "please, why can't you be real for once?" that's when you speak and he notices the tears dripping on his skin. they're warm and he can't believe it until he hears your voice. "i'm sorry, kaeya. i'm so sorry i took so long." oh, you're real. you're here. you're finally home. before even he knows it, kaeya lunges into your physical arms; and for the first time in a year takes a much-needed breath.

𝐙𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢 does not feel the passage of time as strongly as the others. he thinks about the memories he cultivated with you and the little things he loves about you. in a way, he’s tired of watching the journey of time carry away his loved ones. there are nights he simply play stares out at the cascading mountaintops and imagines his life if you had just never left. he could never resent you for chasing after your dreams. but he can’t walk the paths of liyue the same.

you come to him during one of those very walks. a crowd of people swerving through the streets, vendors ringing out to them, and the scent of glaze lilies waft into the harbor-scented air. his gaze is straightforward until he spots a familiar figure. "zhongli!" you stumble towards him after you spot him shortly after. zhongli can’t seem to find the words as the two of you shatter the crowd’s fluidity. your name desperately falls from his mouth and you’re in his arms within seconds.

𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐜 finds the lights on in the parlor to be a regular sight. despite no one else being down there or even sitting on the porch, he hopes that the lights will somehow reach wherever you are in this world. it's late. much later than he realizes. he rubs the back of his neck as he leans back in his office chair. the parchment falls lackadaisically off his desk and the scent of ink stains his fingers. diluc sighs, wish, praying, hoping that the nightmares waiting for him tonight would be a little easier on him.

"master diluc, there's someone calling for you downstairs," adelinde says through the closed door. diluc scoffs, standing to go and dismiss them himself. and yet, who would be calling for him so late at night? his mind is lost as he stands and walks to the edge of the railing on the second floor. his eyes locate the figure and his heart sinks. you stare up at him with kind eyes and a heart-wrenching smile. "i'm back. did i make you wait long?" your name is a fleeting call as he stumbles down the steps and nearly suffocates you into a gratifying and much-needed embrace.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞 senses the loss and the anxiety come crumbling down onto him when he spots you for the first time in years. all this time, pretending and never acknowledging the fact you had disappeared into the realm of time. he can't breathe when he comes home. childe staggers at the doorway, inhaling the familiar scent of a person he tried to believe wasn't dead. coming home to you was something he never thought he would get to experience again.

and suddenly the world spins in slow motion as you turn and greet him with outstretched arms. oh, how much pain he feels in that moment. despite every time he didn't face the facts, this time is the final time he'll suppress the fear of never seeing you. he cries like never before. in the whirlwind of relief, stress, and comfort, you whisper his name. his true name. "i'm home." through gentle sobs, he holds you tight as if you'll fade if he doesn't. "welcome home."

mistletoe

[kaeya, diluc, childe x gn reader]

╰┈➤ includes; various types of kisses, EXTREME fluff, kinda suggestive ig

╰┈➤ this content is rated 16+ for the suggestive content, please refrain from reading if under 16

╰┈➤ merry Christmas/happy holidays everyone! thanks so much for 900+ followers too <3

for kaeya, Christmas is a really special occasion, mainly cause during Christmas diluc is actually nice to him and invites him over to the dawn winery for Christmas dinner

and that hasn’t changed just cause he’s dating you, diluc doesn’t mind inviting you too, as long as you guys don’t act too lovey dovey around him

when at the dawn winery, adelinde cooks so much food, and all of it is the best thing that has ever existed

when you and kaeya were about to leave, the sneaky bastard held up a mistletoe over your heads

he gives you a shit eating smirk before placing his lips over yours, giving you a chaste yet sweet kiss

when you guys separated, you were shocked that he didn’t go all out

“I’m not going all out since diluc’s here, and I can just about wait till we get back home for some more fun~” he cood, lightly tapping you on the butt as you hid your face into his chest so he couldn’t see your flustered expression

safe to say the morning after, you couldn’t walk at all :)

he doesn’t mind Christmas, the only problem is he’s busier than ever since there’s quite a lot of work to do before he spends the holiday with you

he doesn’t like it, but it’s what needs to be done

one day when he came back home and was greeted by your embrace, he looked up since he noticed something green on the entrance of the house, only to roll his eyes in realisation

“did you put that there?” he queried, with a small grin on his face, he was shocked but not surprised since you tend to do this every. single. year, it’s like a tradition of yours at this point

“maybe, who knows? it could’ve been adelinde” you simply shrugged, placing your hands around dilucs neck and lightly swaying

sighing in response, he leant in for the kiss, only to be responded by your lips unexpectedly crashing against his, biting his lip, making him flinch so that you could explore his mouth with your tongue

he let out a muffled groan in response, large calloused hands wrapping around your waist

you jumped up into his embrace, wrapping your legs tightly against his slutty slim waist, diluc helping by holding onto your butt

next morning the bed was ‘surprisingly’ broken, a disappointed adelinde with her arms crossed against her chest, you and diluc covered in scratch and bite marks

if possible, every year he heads back to snezhnaya to visit his family and spend the holidays there

this year he had time off luckily, and so he also brought you

this is the first time you’ve seen his family, yes you’ve heard of them all from ajax, especially of teucer, but you’re still very nervous about meeting them, especially his mother

when you arrived at the door, you were sweating buckets, ajax simply held your gloves hand into his larger hand that was bare since he’s so used to this weather

first thing that happens is teucer screams that you two have to kiss since you’re both standing underneath the mistletoe

ajax obviously acts first, giving you a small kiss on the lips before rushing towards teucer and spinning him around before embracing him into a tight bear hug

yes, he brought so many presents for everyone, he even brought some that are for you (the rest are back in liyue, where you originally reside)

his mother was so nice to you, giving you a nice big hug as soon as she saw you, and calling you beautiful/handsome etc.

she’s surprisingly tall, obviously ginger, and has quite a curvy chubby body, she’s berry huggable and so sweet

despite her adorable appearance, her face seems quite intimidating at first glance, but she’s the sweetest lady you have ever met

you, ajax, and the rest of the family had such fun at the dinner table and playing all sorts of games before you had to go to sleep due to the fact that you were both heading back the day after

Your Love is in Your Touch

Aka Genshin men with a cuddly/clingy partner

Feat: Kaeya, Diluc, Kazuha, and Baizhu Content warning: Nightmares with Kaeya, Reader is taller than Kazuha, Chronically Ill Baizhu

Kaeya

Look, we all know Kaeya is touch-starved. I don't think he's had a proper hug in at least months and he's too prideful to ask

So when he starts dating you, he's shocked by how touchy you are but loves the fact he never has to ask for it

He’s just as touchy as you, opposites in temperature but similar in temperament as he happily pulls you close

His hugs are cold but in that embrace, you can hear his heart pounding with his emotions for you

It’s like laying down and falling asleep with an ice pack that will never melt when you run hot or like being out in the chilly early winter air where the cold cakes your skin and enwraps you in frost

He will confidently pick you up and smirk as you just wrap your arms around his neck

Also perfectly comfortable with you giving him a peck on the cheek in public/are busy with something

There is also something to him about your touch that is so comforting, especially when upset. Bad nightmares of fire and rain always seem to be better with his head on your chest and the sound of your heartbeat anchoring him to reality

Diluc

In opposition to his adoptive brother, Diluc is not touchy, especially in public

Being hugged out of nowhere or wrapping your arms around him without warning will cause him to flinch

He will express his boundaries with you and wants you to know it’s never because he doesn’t love you, he just likes being asked first.

He does do little things without asking, like interlocking your pointer fingers while you walk or gentle kisses in your hair

But in the privacy of your shared home, this man becomes a teddybear in all the best ways

He’s naturally warm and with his muscular physique, he can hold you close and just his arm around you feels like a weighted blanket

His favorite though is when you play with his long crimson hair. Something about your fingers running through his curls is so soothing

Kazuha

There is something absolutely adorable to him about the fact you love to cuddle and he is a cuddler too

Something about sitting in the crow’s nest as he gets wrapped in your arms and the two of you watch the sunset

But sadly moments like that are not often, life on the Crux is a busy one after all

The little things like spotting each other from across the ship and blowing kisses or running by and either of you quickly pecking each other’s cheek when they are in the middle of something

In downtime, you two sit next to each other with his head on your shoulder and your hand around his waist

His favorite thing is the end of the day when both of you are resting on a hammock in the barracks. Arms around each other with the sound of the sea and the crew to relax you

Baizhu

Baizhu is a very busy man so as much as he would love to cuddle with you, he barely has the time

But you sitting with him while he works or peering at his papers by placing your head on his is more than enough to fulfill the need for physical touch

He also is grateful that you are willing to help him on the way to house calls, especially ones a very far distance

Being able to lean on you for a second or sitting with you to catch his breath and soothe his aching muscles means the world, especially with your hand in his

He’ll also squeeze your hand twice if he needs to rest or take a break, a silent way to let you know

But days off are typically days when his condition has decided it’ll cause more pain than normal (but he’s too prideful and will still try to work)

This is when he sighs as you repeat his own advice but loves the food you make and the warmth of your embrace seems to make it more tolerable.

whisper of the heart

synopsis: genshin boys voicelines about you!

content: Kaeya/Ayato/Xiao/Heizou/Gorou/Arataki/Zhongli x gender neutral reader (so they/them pronouns used) Fluff! Mentions of kissing. Slightly possessive Ayato and Zhongli (but still healthy ofc) English is not my first language so I'm sorry for any mistakes.

dark blogs, k¡nk and ed blogs do not interact or lose all your 50/50s and I will also knock your teeth in<3

Kaeya

About y/n:

"Ah so you've met the lovely Y/n already. I'm not surprised they're quite hard to miss. Such a radiant smile and kind heart. I've had to fend off many people that were ready to throw themselves at them. Why? Well, because they are with me of course! What, you into them as well?"

About eyepatch:

"Y/n is one of the few people who have seen me without my eyepatch. Hm? How did they respond? Well, they didn't. I appreciate that. It makes it a lot more tolerable to walk around without my eyepatch knowing that what's beneath doesn't make a difference. What's beneath it? Wouldn't you like to know"

About vision:

"Did you know our visions are in tune with our emotions? There are plenty of fingertips and footprints scorched into the walls and floors of the dawn winery hehe. I sometimes unintentionally freeze parts of items I'm holding. Now that we're talking about it, it always happens when y/n enters my view...how strange"

Ayato

Possessive ayato? Possessive ayato

About y/n:

"Y/n? Did Thoma tell you about them? I'm not surprised. If Thoma is not around the estate you can be sure he's feeding the stray dogs and cats with Y/n. I wish I could join them but alas I'm needed elsewhere most of the time. If you'd like, I can ask y/n to go feed the dogs and cats with you sometime. But remember as lovely as they are, they are indeed my partner, so don't get any ideas"

About free time:

"As head of the kamisato clan, free time is not something I have an abundance of. Once I finished one pile of papers, Thoma is already handing me the next *sigh* It can be tiring but my dear y/n is able to make those long days a little easier. Just seeing them smile energizes me. I often request them to stay with me a little while longer when I finish some papers. I wouldn't know what to do without them"

About vision:

"Visions are indeed in tune with our emotions, though it's rarely visible to others since they're not quite spectacular. I have noticed I subconsciously start creating little water flowers on y/ns skin whenever we have some sort of physical contact. Many times when we are holding hands, they start building up along their arms. Im glad Y/n doesn't mind, they are quite pretty and I can't say I hate it when I see them walk around Inazuma adorned with my flowers.

Xiao

About y/n:

"Y/n? Yeah what's with them? Do I know them well? I do they are, ,,they are my partner. Don't look so surprised! I can't believe I'm deserving of them either."

Kiss him rn:(

About flowers

"Y/n and I often go flower picking through Liyues mountains. While I don't know where they get the energy to race from mountain top to mountain top, as long as it makes them happy, I'm happy. That said, the flower crowns they make are quite beautiful. Do I wear them? Of course."

About vision:

"I've learned to control most of the elemental energy originating from our visions but, as embarrassing as it is to say, i've lost control of them multiple times around Y/n. there have been multiple occasions of anemo whisps dancing around them or *sigh*, dashing into them when I desire physical contact. They think it's sweet but...nevermind, I suppose that makes it alright.

Heizou

About y/n:

"Ah yes Y/n! They are quite lovely don't you think? You know, the first time I met them something inside of me just knew they were my soulmate, and unsurprisingly I dreamed about them that night! Once I finally managed to talk to them we immediately felt the spark. We've been together ever since :)"

About cases:

"Although I'm good at solving cases, if I do say so myself, I do like requesting Y/n to help me. Of course, I’d never take them with me on dangerous cases, but the more ahem peculiar ones such as " a certain Oni has been seen walking around Hanamizaka challenging children to onikabuto duels' ' it's fun to bring them along. "

About visions:

"Ah yes, every user's vision is in tune with their emotions. Mine are a little more controllable than most users. Sometimes little puffs of air flow from my fingertips, Y/n enjoys it when I'm stroking my hand through their hair or giving them a gentle breeze on a hot day. Gotta be careful I don't accidentally make the flow too strong tho"

Gorou

About y/n

"Oh you have met Y/n? Well, what did you think of them? They’re sweet right! They told you about us? No no I don’t mind! I just didn’t expect them to be so open and excited to tell you. I know it's wagging Stop looking at my tail!"

About headpats:

"Though many try, I don't let anyone touch my ears, or my tail,,,except for y/n of course. Many times in the past, when I was younger, people always tugged on my tail or pinched my ears so I was really nervous when Y/n wanted to touch them. I'm glad I let them. They're always soft and delicate with any pets and it feels good to know they like me for me and everything that I am. They also know the exact right places to scratch!"

About visions:

Shirou is the lil dog with gorous skill btw

"Lets not talk about that. There have been an embarrassing amount of times where I had to hold back shirou from pressing a plethora of kisses to y/n's face. He only does that when I'm holding back on affection. Not because I don't like it! more so because I get nervous, but now it's either breaking through that nervousness or getting a leash for shirou.."

Arataki Itto

About y/n:

"Haha I see you’ve met my number one! They’re great, they are always up for onikabuto fights, they get along great with granny even the gang adores them? Jealous? Why would I be jealous? The gang, no no they wouldn't try anything, I mean yeah y/n is great and sweet, kind, admirable, strong…..perhaps I should have a meeting with the gang, just to be sure ya know"

About being an oni:

"Hey hey hey what do ya think about my horns! check it out freshly painted by the lovely y/n haha!! Yeah, y/n always paints my horns! Sometimes I just let them decide what color they're going to be, even walked around with pastel pink ones for a while. Im glad that they're so comfortable with me being an oni. the differences in size, strength and well the horns of course can scare quite a few people off or archons forbid make them start throwing beans AGH. Not my dear y’n though! even if I accidentally poke them with my horns sometimes, they still press a kiss to them each moring:))"

About visions

"Sometimes, I think Ushi likes y/n more than me. I know right! They’re always cuddling together which I mean they should be doing with me but anyways, or Ushi is sitting on their lap which is also my place....... but I like that they get along so well. Ushi has been my rock for a long time so it's nice to see them together.

Zhongli

I couldnt think of a vision one :(

About y/n:

"Oh you want to know more about y/n and me? Of course, i’d love to tell you about our story. My dear love y'n and I go a long long way back. Come sit down I will brew you some tea as I tell you about them"

About Morax:

"Though I have walked around in this form for a while now, some old habits are quite hard to shed, more specifically the hoarding and protecting of treasure. But I also think it’s a normal response to want to protect whats yours no? As you can see our home is decorated with little shiny trinkets that I found during my many years in Teyvat. Here! this a very special crystal I found a millenia ago, Dug it out of the ground myself. Of course you can touch it. The protectiveness? Oh that only happens when y/n is around"

Dragon!zhongli? Kiss me.

Thank you for reading bunnies!<3 I hope you liked it!

being the genshin men's first priority !

ALHAITHAM who ditches work the moment he sees you struggling to do yours. Who doesn't care about those academia fools that dare judge his relationship with you, and instead shows you off. Talks about you, singing praises and making everyone notice his physical affection. Work, himself, anyone, all pales compared to you.

KAEYA who suddenly doesn't flirt with every person on the bar, but rather pouring you a drink and watching his alcohol content so he can take you both home. He likes to always look at you in the headquarter's window lively cheering with the townsfolk knowing you were the reason he can't betray Mondstadt.

CYNO who actually tries to make you laugh, maybe accidentally falling in the slippery floor, or intentionally silly marks on his face so you'll grin and gently get it out with your soft hands. He knew he wasn't great with jokes, but how he tries so hard to make you laugh. It was more endearing than funny as he forgot the victims he was supposed to interrogate.

KAVEH who hides his sorrows and alcohol when you come around. Every single drop of pain was replaced nothing but sweet longing for your cuddles. It comes as a surprise to many when he no longer talks about his roommate, rather your face, your personality, your actions and interactions. He was a different man when with you.

SCARAMOUCHE lives to see your face red. It doesn't matter if he is still in the fatui or Nahida, the moment he sees you he has already break free from the concept of work. All he ever talks about is you, your day, maybe even criticize you. But you were always the topic of conversation. Paying for your lunch on the way and then pull up the crochet flowers he put all his effort to make last night just for you.

AYATO rarely leaves work but then you came crashing in his life. Now the other commissioners try to find him while he is with the boba shop sharing a drink with you. Even thoma and ayaka were searching for him, but how can he refuse when you so kindly asked him on a date to your favorite café.

Appears (hi I’m a new follower sorry if I’m a bit awkward!!!)

Uhm uhm

can I please request some kind of rivalry between reader and Kaeya? Sorta like he gets fed up with the reader’s attitude and puts them to better use rather than letting them continue???? (If I’m allowed to choose what happens maybe bj and then being bent over his desk or somethin??)

kaeya dark nsfw drabble 1

cw: noncon, bratty reader, degradation, oral sex (character receiving), usage of sweetheart and slut (1), dacryphilia, gagging

written by a minor, dni if uncomfortable

kaeya is so sick of you and your insubordination. he can’t help but let his visible eye twitch when he sees you sway your hips mockingly with that stupid smug expression on your face. one that still remains despite him yanking you to the other side of his large desk and shoving you to your knees, all while you run your mouth and frustrate him further. he likes you more when you’re below him, a defiant look on your face that drops when he cages your body with his legs, unzipping his pants to reveal his hardened cock, although he’d never admit to you that he particularly enjoys when you’re being bratty like this.

“open wide, sweetheart.” he sneers, unbothered with the way you struggle to take his full length, tears filling your eyes as you gag on him, and he swears he could’ve came from that alone, but he’s not so sensitive like that, he should at least play with you more. he lets out a shaky moan when he breaches your throat, a tanned hand on the back of your head with a smirk on his face. “you look so much better like this when you aren’t so noisy.” he coos, using his other hand to caress your cheek. “such a slut for me, aren’t you?”

he can’t deny how unbelievably attractive you look when he shoots his load into your mouth, your face teary eyed from the unexpected bitterness of his cum, you try to spit it out, but he clamps your mouth shut. “swallow, else i’ll make it worse for you.” once he sees the bob of your throat go down, he lifts you up from the floor, bending you over on his desk. “it’s time for the main event now… i’ll be sure to properly punish you for your insubordination.”

KAEYA MY BELOVED IM SOOO IN LOVE WITH HIM GNAWS ON HIM WITH MY TEETHS

𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐜𝐞

Kaeya, venti and Kazuha x figure skater! Gn! Reader

・*:..｡o Warnings: dangerous sport (?) mentions of injury, badly written, bad grammar, inaccurate kaeya

✽・:..｡ Notes: sorry for not keeping up with my requests!! might be less frequent now school started again, sorry this is short. Love you all have a good day ❄⛄

♡ - Kaeya

Kaeya had never seen such a beautiful person as yourself; you look like a dove as you glide across the ice on your skates. He was utterly infatuated with your talent , you never failed to impress him with your skill.

He was actually quite shy to talk to you first. He only simply admired you from afar before he had the courage to approach you with a bouquet of flowers and sickeningly sweet words ready to spill.

- Kaeya is happy to recieve any wishes from you. Such as you need a new pair of skates or an appropriate outfit, he always is ready to buy you whatever you need when you want it.

- he watches you most of the time during his breaks when the ice has frozen over a pond in dragonspine, he will walk all the way over there just to watch you jump and twirl and around.

- Kaeya welcomes you home with a hug after you've been out in the cold for a while, despite his cryo vision he can be very warm. He knows your legs and feet probably hurt like hell from all the training and work, so he tries his absolute best to take care of you by running a hot bath and preparing a snack.

- talks about you a lot to jean and Mika at work, won't stop rambling honestly. Cute compliments fall out of his mouth as the mention of your name because he can't help but praise you for your gorgeous performances.

♡ - Venti

Venti had adored you for the longest time. He felt like you were like his little secret when he watched you twirl on the ice. almost as if your performance was just for him. He didn't really have much to offer except his love and affection.

He was absolutely delighted on that cold evening when you accepted his obvious feelings for you.

- your ventis biggest inspiration! He sings in the tavers about and occasionally writes poetry dedicated to you and only you as well. He just can't stop giggling and kicking his feet whenever someone asks him about you.

"i know right? they're so cool!"

He almost definitely could talk about if for hours but the poor person who asked would be falling asleep on the floor!

- venti of course does worry though. He worries that you might slip and fall, or the ice beneath you cracks and you plunge into the frigid water below. Sometimes he begs you not to go alone when he may be too busy to watch you.

- he sends a warm breeze your way so you don't completely freeze whilst skating out in the cold. It probably doesn't help because you're already sweaty and hot from all the movement.

♡ - Kazuha

Kazuha loved gentle, elegant things. That's why you attracted his attention so much, you were gorgeous to him in every way. You both fell for each other slowly, every day he'd glance at you as your skates scraped against the ice.

- watching you perform is a daily habbit. his admiration for you was soft, like he craved your attention but didn't want to smother you too much.

- he takes care of any cuts or aches you may have after hardcore training. Kazuha makes sure to touch you as light as he can with his bandaged fingers; carefully gliding over your skin as he patches you up.

- lets you fall asleep on his lap when you come home tired. His lap is warm, and his hand is soft as it ruffles your hair and the melody he is humming is quiet and tranquil.

Please do not share my work anywhere, thank you.

spider lily

Character: Kaeya

— the gods really do scorn his existence

CWs: gn!reader (no pronouns), ANGST, hurt/no comfort, you and Kaeya have a kid but it could be biological or adopted, death (reader + child), blood

val's no sympathy november masterlist

haha... happy (very belated) birthday Kaeya <3

Kaeya vividly remembers how he felt the first time you asked him on a date. It was like he was on top of the world, the broadest smile on his face as he agreed to meet you for dinner later, all while having his heart and throat squeeze itself of life. Like the organ that was responsible for keeping him on Teyvat was trying to sabotage him tying a weight to itself and tugging painfully. Tread carefully Kaeya Alberich, remember your place.

Of course, things couldn't be this easy, not when everything good resulted in a double-edged sword stabbing him in the back. There had to be a catch - were you pitying him? Mondstadt knew the bits and pieces of his history with the Ragnvindrs, you easily could too. No, maybe you, the one that captured his attention after many run-ins around the city of wind, had your eye on him too, but for all the wrong reasons.

If he was honest, he almost didn't go. He was a man of his word, yes, but right before the time Kaeya was supposed to meet you, he felt more like he was a ten-year-old boy again, scared and unsure of what the future held. Would you even actually be there? Maybe he just should go home... but what if you're waiting for him? He can't just embarrass you by leaving you there...

Just one peek, he told himself, rounding the building until he stood at the back entrance and sticking his head in. Every day after that one he thanked the Archons that he did, because after pssting Diluc over and inquiring if you were in the building, to which the redhead sighed and nodded, Kaeya steeled himself and sat down with you, offering a small lie that work kept him and that he was terribly sorry. That one decision let a relationship like no other that he's experienced blossom, and his days went from the monotonous curse to slightly better moments to repetition he was comfortable and content with. He even managed by some miracle to get to raise a kid with you, vowing to love both of you with all his heart. To provide for you both the best he can.

So where did he go wrong? Why did he come home to the door rammed through, swinging in the gentle wind? What about the sight of the home the three of you built together over the years destroyed, furniture toppled over and drawers obviously rummaged through?

For the first time in a while Kaeya felt fear strike his body, blood running cold as he called out your name and your kid’s name, begging for a response. Each second that ticked by worsened that chilling feeling as he checked room after room, finding each one turned upside down and void of life.

When the ground floor showed no luck the male climbed the stairs, tripping over in his haste as he disregarded all the other rooms and made a beeline for the bedroom. Out of all the rooms, that one was more likely where he’d find you.

And find you he did… but he wished it wasn’t dead in a pool of your own blood, eyes lifelessly stuck open. What was worse was the body of his kid not too far away from you, curled on their side. From the scene alone, it seems as if you were crawling towards them to protect them, even in your last breath.

Evidence be damned, as the tears fall down his face Kaeya collects the broken forms of you and your kid into his arms. He doesn't care for the blood staining his clothes or how loud his sobs are or how awkward the position is because all that matters is getting to hold his spouse and child for the last time.

At least he was allowed to hold them in peace, his final goodbye. That was the only thing he was granted amidst the pain.

When They Come Home Hurt—Genshin Boys lil fics/headcannons

With the kinds of situations your partner puts himself in, it’s only a matter of time before he comes home with a few bad wounds. How nice of you to treat them for him! But how do they act why you do?

Itto, Kaeya, Xiao, Ayato, Thoma, Childe (separate) x gn!reader

Hurt/comfort (Itto), Fluff (Xiao, Ayato, Thoma), hurt/no comfort (Kaeya and Childe.)

Content warnings: Wounds (no intense descriptions), blood, mention of killing, mention of altercations, curse word in Itto’s, physical restraint with Childe, Thoma calling you pumpkin. Ayato’s part is slightly suggestive!

When Itto comes home wounded, no matter how upset you get, he’ll just chuckle and pinch your cheeks. “Oh come on, babe. I’m the one and Oni! You really think a few scratches are gonna get to me?”. If the wounds really aren’t that bad, you’ll sigh, taking two of his massive fingers into your small hand and dragging him over to the kitchen so you can treat him. He’ll laugh as you try to clean the cuts, “real men don’t need all this whooplah! I’ll be fine!” But he lets you do whatever you need to in order to lessen your worry. If the wounds are serious, and he dares to laugh them off, you’ll throw a shit fit. I mean, what else are you supposed to do?! Your lover looks like he was beaten just inches from death and he expects you to find it funny?! You’ll scold him throughly as you take care of him, tightening his bandages just a little too tight whenever he tries to talk back. “Babe, I don’t see what you’re so upset abou—youch! Hey!”. Once you’re done, he’s in the dog house. He’ll pout when you instruct him to sleep on the couch, finally realizing that this is a serious situation…he really caused you this much distress? You’ll go to bed frustrated and alone, still tense and stressed from the events that just unfolded. You hate being mad at Itto, but he’s such an idiot sometimes! Usually, that’s something you find endearing about him, but absolutely not when it gets him hurt. Although Itto has a lot of backwards beliefs and mantras, one that he actually makes good use of is “never go to bed angry.”. After around ten minutes, he carefully slips into your shared bedroom, carrying a small cure for your wounds in his hand. You sniffle and irritatedly turn to tell him to leave you alone, but upon seeing his heartfelt and sorry gaze, your anger dissipates. He slips into bed next to you and hands you a spoon, pulling you to sit in the space between his legs while opening a pint of ice cream. You don’t say anything as you stick your spoon into the sweet and comforting snack—a universal cure-all for any kind of emotional injury. He is pleasantly surprised when, after a few bites, you take a big scoop and hold it up behind you for him to eat. In this silent exchange, he issues you a sincere apology, and you gracefully accept.

Kaeya, much like Itto, initially chuckles and tells you not to worry so much when he comes home to your shocked and concerned gaze. “You’ll get wrinkles, sweetheart.” he says, brushing a finger over your furrowed brow flippantly. You’re taken aback by his, partially hurtful, comment. He never says things like that. At least, not to you. He’s actively bleeding from some strike an enemy just happened to land, swiftly slipping past you to grab the first aid kit himself. “Kaeya?! What happened?!”. He stops his movements for a second at the panic in your voice, then wordlessly moves forward with his self-administered treatment. “…Kaeya?” you try, but he’s still unresponsive. The whole side of the kitchen that he occupies feels eerily colder as you step up to him. He’s not giving himself proper care, haphazardly wrapping a bandage around the puncture on his waist and adding a little pressure. The bleeding isn’t life-threatening, but it’s enough to be rightfully worried! You slowly reach for him, “Kaeya…please let me—“ and your tender, anxious gaze shifts into shock as he shoves your delicate hands away. “I’m fine. Leave it alone.”, he warns. You take a few steps back, never having seen this side of your lover. Why was he being so…mean? He’s never been mean to you before. He’s always been soft and understanding and careful with you. You aren’t sure what to do, stuck at an impasse between wanting to give him proper care and not wanting to draw his anger again. So you do as he instructs and leave him alone, retreating to your room as tears fall from your eyes. In truth, Kaeya feels embarrassed and ashamed that he even got hurt in the first place. He knew he was going to worry you when he got home, and that guilt made him rot inside. He didn’t think he was deserving of your compassion, so he rejected it. A very unwise decision on his part. Instead of drawing your indifference, he amplified your distress tenfold, which he regrets even more than coming home bleeding. He stands there in shame, hovering over the sink with his hand pressing the gauze firmly over his wound, alone.

Xiao is used to getting a little bloodied up. It’s just part of being a yaksha. He really doesn’t feel the sting of his injuries anymore, as they are nothing in comparison to the force of his karmic debt. But…he finds it kind of adorable when he returns home and you fret over him. He can’t find it within himself to stop you as you tote him over to the kitchen and hastily take out your first-aid kit. It’s like you’re playing nurse with him. He can’t help the slight dusting of pink across his cheeks as you dab at the wounds on his chest with an alcohol wipe, “this might sting a little bit!” oh, sweetheart. He soaks up your cute worrying, silently allowing you the comfort of treating him. When you’re done, having bandaged him all up, he curtly thanks you. You wrap your arms around him, kissing his cheek, “try to be more careful, love!.”. He internally melts at your endearing ministrations, though he externally remains stone-faced. He knows better than to wrap his arms around you in return, but does it anyway, justifying that it’s for your comfort. That you’re the one who needs this. But he enjoys it all the same as he squeezes you back.

Ayato doesn’t really have the chance to return to you wounded. The estate is well-equipped with professionals to take care of any injuries the commissioner receives. Archons, when they’re finished with him, he feels even better than he did before the altercation even happened. You find him with a well-secured bandage across his chest, obviously having received a strike close to his heart. You can’t even make it through a shocked gasp before he picks you up by your thighs, twirling you around like a little princess, then setting you down and giving you a dizzying, open-mouthed kiss. His lips linger on yours for a long time as he hums in satisfaction, taking as many kisses from you as he wants. When he finally lets you go, you’re left speechless and flushed from chest to neck to cheeks. He doesn’t even give you a single breath to fret over him. “Darling, your lips are the most satiating treatment I could ever receive. I simply can’t thank you enough.” he says, drawing you back to him with an arm snaked around your waist, gently lifting one of your hands to his mouth to kiss the knuckes. “If you’ll allow me, I’d love to receive a more thorough treatment from you once we retire for bed tonight...”, a sly smile gracing his features. Uh oh. How could you possibly refuse your husband the treatment he requests for his wounds? I suppose you have quite a laborious night of care tonight. Rest well!

When Thoma comes home hurt, it’s never that big of a deal. His line of work as a housekeeper, spending all day taking care of others and maintaining an estate, is much less dangerous than most. He only ever shows up with a bruise, maybe a cut if he had been picking up a broken glass, all in all nothing really serious. Of course, when you see these wounds, you’ll ask what happened and he’ll bashfully rub the back of his neck—saying something along the lines of “It was my bad. I was being a clutz.” with his charming chuckle. It feels heavenly when you softly kiss his cheek, telling him to be more careful. “You’re precious merchandise, dear!” you say with a sweet smile. His mind turned to jelly from your loving touch, he promises you that he will be. He’s in a trance in your care, looking at you with a gaze full of love. This breath of respite in your arms gives him extra strength at work the next day—just remembering how much his perfect partner loves him fuels him with energy! If he had been in an altercation, returning to your house with a black eye or a deeper cut somewhere, he would feel really guilty seeing your pained and worried expression when you open the door to him. He would try to laugh it off, attempting to lighten the mood or soothe your worries, but of course it wouldn’t help. After you finish treating his wounds, he’ll apologize profusely. “I’m so sorry, pumpkin. I broke my promise.” he’ll say, nuzzling his head into your abdomen, one arm encircling your waist and one grasping your wrist—hoping you won’t wrench your arm away. You don’t, running your hand through his hair and humming softly, “It’s ok, love. It happens. I’m just relieved I could help you feel better.”. He smiles, eternally grateful for your understanding. At this point, he believes your doting on him has reached its end, standing up to go fix dinner for you or go draw you a bath like he normally does—being the natural caretaker he is. However, he doesn’t get far, since you shove him back down onto your cushy couch. “Where do you think you’re going, mister?” “I—um!” he’s a wide-eyed, blushing mess from the force of your hands on him, the charming pointed look you give him, how you tilt your head and rest your hands on your hips. “You’re the patient tonight. So you’ll stay here while I take care of you!”. It’s not often that Thoma gets a night off. He carries his responsibilities from his work-life straight into his home life, maintaining a house and caring for someone 24/7. Of course, he loves caring for you, it fills him to the brim with satisfaction! But…when you’re taking care of him? His brain short circuits. He watches you, face flushed, as you make him food, change his bandages/ice pack, and shower him with feel-better kisses! He’s convinced he died in that fight and went directly to heaven. The adorable boyish look on his face, the wonder in his eyes as you care for him, you’ve really never seen your boyfriend in such a tender and blissful state! His heart is just melting. For once, he can let go of his sense of duty and just be looked after. He’s never been this relaxed before. Maybe he should get in fights more often! If it means he gets to be the center of your attention all night, receiving acts of service from you and endless affection, he’d be more than happy to take a black eye. Though he won’t have to. After the adorable and happy state you saw him in tonight, you’ll be sure to give him treat days way more often!

You’re so used to Childe coming home wounded, it doesn’t even phase you anymore. At this point, the first-aid kit’s home has graduated from under the kitchen sink to the middle of the counter. Why put it away? He’s just going to need it again tomorrow. Sometimes he can treat his own wounds, sometimes he asks you to help, either time, he finds you sitting on the couch in an indifferent stupor. It’s not that you didn’t care, but after so many times he’s stumbled through the door, clad in numerous injuries, it became the new normal. You used to get all worked up when he came home bloodied and bruised. You’d cry over him, your tears wetting the bandages he was too wounded to fasten himself. Every night, he seemed to come back worse. Every night, you begged him to quit his job, sobbing that you’re afraid he’ll never come back one day. Each time, he would shush and coo at you, trying his best to hold you and rub comforting circles on your back, despite the ache of his injuries. You would only cry harder seeing him wince while he tried to console you, or feeling his arm give out as he lifted it to you. At his failure to comfort you, you would comfort yourself, grabbing his face and kissing him desperately over and over, like he would bleed out if you didn’t—though his wounds were neatly bandaged. And he let you, kissing you back just as intensely with all of the energy he had left in him. This physical exchange was all you could do to assure yourself that you still had him, that he wasn’t disappearing in your clutch. Your tears would fall all night, every night, until they couldn’t fall anymore. After the night you threatened to leave him, you no longer shed tears for his wounds. When he came home that night, hobbling into the kitchen for the first aid kit, you told him you couldn’t take it anymore—that either he quit his job or you wouldn’t be around to watch him kill himself anymore. He stood there, silent, bandage half-wrapped around his shoulder. “No.”, he uttered, breaking your heart. As your tears fell, you stormed off into your bedroom, leaving him to treat his own injuries. You started packing up your things and, despite his open wounds, he rushed in to stop you. “Get away from me!” you snapped at him, but he wasn’t having it. He wrestled you until he had your hands firmly pinned to your sides, ignoring your squirming. “I’m doing this for us! Because I love you! Do you know what would happen if I quit? Then I would really be killing myself. And my family. And you!” he yelled, desperately. You kept trying to kick him off in your wave of rage, but he held on tight. “You’re not going anywhere. So stop throwing a tantrum and help me.”. You stopped struggling with him then, a helpless look in your eyes and a deep frown on your face as your sobs caught in your throat. He was right. You weren’t going anywhere. So you followed him back to the kitchen and bitterly bandaged him up. He didn’t expect you to kiss him this time, his guilt for the situation he put you in crushing him. However, when you were finished with his treatment, you still comforted yourself by leaning in to gift him few soft pecks on his lips, drawing him out of his brooding. You weren’t going anywhere because, despite the grief it caused you, you loved him. Even if you couldn’t stand to see him hurt anymore, you would still worry yourself to death every day that you weren’t there to receive him. He was yours, and you cared deeply for him, so all you could do was sorrowfully accept his fate and just be grateful for the amount of days you have left with him.
