under the mistletoe

characters: shenhe, yae miko, wanderer/scaramouche, kuki shinobu, kazuha

style: fluff

song inspo: mistletoe by justin bieber

an: i was originally going to finish this at the christmas party, but it was dreading and hard to focus since nobody wanted to go home till 1 in the morning.. (in addition to the loud noises) but here’s another christmas themed post i pushed out!! idc if it’s late by a few days, this idea’s been sitting in my head for a while. and bro i forgot how to use vocabulary and grammar in this one, because of the damn party that ruined my brain 😭

notes: not proofread, reader is gender neutral, written at a very crowded party but finished at home, swearing in scara’s/wanderer’s part, shinobu’s part is a little long, some crack, lowercase intended, kazuha calls you a sweet dove, i do not know much about mistletoes, how tf do you write kissing

reblogs are appreciated!!

shenhe

“are you alright? your face is heating up.”

“don’t you see what we’re under?” you pointed at the nice mistletoe dangling above you both

shenhe looks up at what you’re pointing at, but she’s still confused. she’s never seen such a thing within her years of mastering adepti art

“what is it?”

“it’s… a mistletoe. when two people are under it, they have to kiss.”

shenhe glances back at you with the same stoic face that’s been plastered on her face the whole conversation

“hm. sounds simple enough.”

your eyes just pop out of their sockets, literally. because not only was she nonchalant about your explanation, she said those words with a straight face.

before you’re able to respond, she pulled you close to her, placed a hand on your cheek, and kissed you. after she released you she went: “so, was that all we had to do?”

poor you, blinking your eyes, and your brain is loading. it didn’t help the sheer embarrassment clearly shown on your face as if it was never said before.

yae miko

“ah, it seems we’ve gotten ourselves into quite the predicament.”

she was looking up at the mistletoe the whole time, while you were shifting uncomfortably in your shoes.

yae miko paused in observing the mistletoe to look at you, she sees your figure sweating bullets.

“oh? are you nervous little one? there’s no need to be afraid.”

you jumped when she was referring to you. snapping you of your countless thoughts plaguing your mind

“i’m sorry, i didn’t think we’d be here of all places. and i wasn’t sure if it’d be okay for-“

“wasn’t sure that i’d be okay for this? my, you amuse me.”

you tilted your head slightly, confused with what she said.

yae miko turned to your direction, her piercing gaze strikes your own. “it’s natural to be nervous over situations such as these, but,”

she leaned down to your level and planted a quick and light kiss on your nose, effectively rendering you speechless

“you should be glad it’s me you’re under this mistletoe with.”

wanderer/scaramouche

he finds it silly for you both to be under a little mistletoe and kiss under it. in his mind, he thinks ‘anywhere else is better than this cramped and narrowed hallway.’ because yk, bro would prefer if the environment is appealing to kiss in. he has standards.

“why the hell would i kiss you under a fucking plant?”

“because it’s tradition??”

“*scoff* a dumb one at that.”

you crossed your arms and looked away from him, not wanting to deal with his bullshit again for the night

he took notice of your behavior though

“huh? why the long face? what, did you think i was serious?”

your eyes shifted towards his direction. “yes..? because you’re always like this.”

“oh, i was serious about the first half.”

you raised your eyebrows. “what do you mean by ‘first half?’”

scaramouche quickly pulled you closer to him which almost made you lose balance, but with his firm hold on you, you didn’t fall.

and with that, he kissed you, for a short while (which felt like forever)

when he lets you of go you, albeit a light and gentle shove, you stumbled back a bit, and shook your head a little in an attempt to process what happened

“i just find it stupid to kiss here of all places. it’d be better if there were people around, so then they’d all know that you belong to me and me only.”

“…” (they were too stunned to speak)

“and if this place was more clean.”

kuki shinobu

in all honesty, the arataki gang pushed her under the mistletoe with you while you were just eating a nice christmas snack and. you weren’t aware of being under it too. head empty just food type beat.

shinobu immediately knew what was going on after she saw the mistletoe. as she was gonna turn around and fist fight the gang, they’ve ran away and hid behind something. their heads were slightly peeking out of them and itto’s head stood out the most

shinobu groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose, and then heard distant cheering from the back, clearly from her gang.

when you swallowed your last bite, you didn’t notice shinobu until now

“oh, hey shinobu! i just finished my snack. what are you doing here?”

she opened her eyes and released her hand off of her nose and pointed above. you followed what she was pointing at and saw the obvious-looking mistletoe hanging above you both before reverting your attention back to her.

“before you say anything, my gang brought us into this mess. so for that, i apologize on their behalf.”

“oh no worries, they always get into some sort of trouble, so i don’t blame you.”

shinobu looked from the corner of her eye and saw her gang whispering the words: ‘go for it!’ ‘do it!’ ‘kiss them!!’

she sighed and then stood up straight, looking directly into your eyes. “well, now that we’re here, i think we should entertain them for a bit. if you’re okay with it of course.”

you turned your head into the direction she was previously looking at and saw her gang. they kept nodding vigorously and made gestures for you to turn back around.

you laughed a bit at them, and you turned back to shinobu. she nodded, you nodded, and then she made her move. shinobu removed her mask to shield her gang from seeing your kiss with her.

the arataki jumped from their spots to cheer and scream for their deputy leader. while a bunch of chaos was happening, that’s all but blind noise. because you’re melting in the kiss.

kazuha

he’d most likely compliment the mistletoe

something along the lines of “such an intricate and well-made mistletoe.” and “its little leaves compliment the red very well.”

like bro stfu and kiss them already, you know the rules. (and so do i)

as kazuha was admiring the mistletoe, he’s sensed you being impatient. (and jealous) so his eyes shifted to your own

“ah, my apologies [name]. i was too focused on this mistletoe hovering above us, that i forgot what we had to do.”

“took you long enough, you think staring up at that mistletoe is more important than me?”

kazuha strutted towards your direction, his scarlet eyes never breaking eye contact with you.

“now, who said that i find mistletoes important to gaze upon?”

he held your hands into his own, intertwining your fingers with his. “they are nothing compared to you, for you are the one i’d love to gaze upon for the rest of my days. my sweet dove.”

his lips pressed against your own, effectively catching you off guard by his boldness. but despite that, your shoulders relaxed, and you’ve let yourself go. to relax yourself in this shared warmth.

kazuha is known to be good with words, but through his current actions, they spoke louder than his flowery words.

when you're around... ☆

feat. | kuki shinobu summary | she finds herself acting... strange around you a/n | thank u chiyo

kuki shinobu |

i can't focus.

kuki first notices that something is off about herself when you come strolling by, not a care in the world and your hair glimmering amber in the afternoon's golden hour, a laugh drifting from your slightly parted lips, and she drops her entire stack of boxes.

they burst open upon hitting the sun-drenched pavement and the bundles of imported candies from oversea go scattering across the ground.

"what are you doing, kuki-chan?!" calls a nearby shop owner, a girl around her age who instantly rushes out of her stall and starts scooping up palmfuls of candies. "those must cost hundreds of mora, no -- thousands, and you're just going and getting distracted by -- "

kuki says nothing, eyes still riveted to the distant line of your frame, saunter as confident and easy as always as you greet numerous friends along the path, and the girl follows kuki's amethyst gaze to your back.

" ... oh," she says, dumbfounded, before her lips curl into a knowing smile. "ohh."

kuki shinobu, the skilled and revered true leader of the arataki gang, places her hand in the small of the girl's back and shoves as hard as she can without letting you leave her line of sight.

the girl stumbles away, still clutching the candies, grinning to herself. who would've thought? kuki shinobu.

she doesn't get very far, though, before kuki shinobu snaps out of her stupor and drags her behind the stall. "you won't say a word," kuki hisses. "nothing happened. i tripped, and i dropped the crate. that's all, okay?"

the girl smiles at her. "oh, of course, kuki-chan," she says, disentangling herself from kuki's grip. "i would never say anything."

and then she rounds the corner of the stall and shouts, "hey! yn! you should check out these candies, they're really good! imported from overseas--pretty fancy, actually."

you turn around, sunlight playing across your face and lighting up your eyes. "oh, sure," you call back. "i'll check them out!" you wave to the group of friends you were chatting with and kuki can't help but watch you again.

and to kuki's absolute horror, you make your way over to kuki and her split-open crate. "hmm," you muse, bending down. kuki's cheeks burn and she's really never been more thankful for the mask. "i- um, i dropped it," she mutters, squatting down to scoop up the candies. "really, i'm so sorry. i need to get these picked up, maybe you could come back another time when the inventory's all laid out? it might be easier to see--"

you laugh, cutting kuki off. "it's okay, i don't mind! i'll help you!" you start picking up the candies and putting them back into the box. the girl from the stall winks at you and goes back to her customers.

kuki wants to murder her, but now you're in front of her and she needs to pick up these candies. oh, how could she be so scatterbrained? if she had just focused on her crates and not looked at you, the candies wouldn't be on the ground, and you wouldn't be talking to her.

then you flash her a grin, and oh, my archons, is that a dimple? of course. of course this would happen to her.

with two people, it's less of a chore (although, she thinks, nothing would be a chore with you) and it's far easier to put the candies back in the crates. you help kuki move the crates behind the stall, out of foot traffic and out of the pathway.

"whew!" you exclaim, dusting off your hands. "that was fun."

"oh- yes, it was," kuki replies, startled. "did you still want to buy some candies?"

you lean closer, a twinkle in your eye. "they did look really good... i can come back later if you're still setting up." you gesture at the stall.

kuki swallows. "actually, that would be the best," she says, trying not to look down at your lips. she's desperate for you to leave, so she can gather her wits-- but also, she wants you to stay.

"okay," you say, turning away. is it just her imagination, or do you look a little disappointed? "nice meeting you, kuki shinobu."

and you walk away, leaving kuki behind, to once again, stare at your back.

kuki huffs out a frustrated breath and turns back to her stall, already regretting not asking you to stay. she stands behind her candies for a good five minutes, replaying the exchange in her head.

before she can think about it too hard, she's calling out your name. "actually, um, when you come back to pick some candies-- would you want to maybe grab lunch with me? and then we can hang out on the beach, if you're free, maybe? or just stroll around the marketplace--whatever you choose, if you're free," she rambles. why is this happening to her? she can't concentrate at all. maybe it's the way that you smirk a little bit, as though you were expecting it, or maybe how your face splits into a smile as you answer.

"i would love that, kuki," you exclaim, and her heart swells. who would have ever thought? kuki shinobu, the skilled and revered true leader of the arataki gang, being a secret sap.

once you flash a grin over your shoulder and stride away, promising to come back in an hour, the sun casting a golden glow over your features and lengthening the shadow you cast. the girl from the stall over leans over. "hey! kuki-chan!" she calls. kuki glances over. she grins. "aren't you glad i said something?"

"i'm home" | heizou/yoimiya/kuki shinobu

synopsis: "i'm home" scenario, fem reader, this is suuuuper cheesy

cw: none, i just needed comfort fluff

genre: fluff T-T

characters: Heizou, Yoimiya and Kuki Shinobu // separatly

>> Words Count: dunno, directly wrote in the textebox

>> a/n : it's my first post with several characters so hope it's good!! art for Heizou’s part is from @catbean-s

>> masterlist

Heizou:

“i’m home” you close the door behind you

“hey sweetheart, i’m cooking fried eggs, come take some” Heizou answered from the kitchen. You throw away your heels, working at the Tenshukaku has constraints but wearing a uniform and heels is the worst.

Your boyfriend was already here since an hour, waiting for you to come home. You didn’t know how, but Heizou organized his schedule in such way there would always be someone to take good care of you when you come back from work

You shuffle to the kitchen, following the delicious scent of eggs in a pan.

Heizou is at the stove, stirring eggs and sometimes adding some provencal herbs from Fontaine. You take him from behind in a hug

“oh? my baby had a bad day” Heizou softly asks. You burry your face in the crook of his neck and tighten up your arms around his waist

“hmm…Yuki made me run all over the Tenshukaku because everything I did wasn’t well done in her point of view” Heizou rubs your hand and hold the pan at the same time

“i’m sure you did everything well, she’s just jealous of my girl” you chuckle, he takes a plate and lies two eggs on it

“how could she be jealous of me, I’m just a poor girl trying to be an adult, I look like nothing beside her…” you purposely whine. Heizou ends up with some herbs and put the plate away. He turns around and takes your face in his hands

“you don’t look like nothing, you’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen. You deserved to be promoted, don’t let this shrew convince you otherwise, she’s just jealous, everyone is, who couldn’t be jealous of you…” Heizou whispers with heart-shaped eyes

“you’re heavenly beautiful” He kisses you gently. You savor his lips and kiss him back

“you made eggs remember?” you mutter against his mouth

“yeah, I made eggs for u, come on, time to eat ♡”

Yoimiya:

“I’m home” you push the shoji close behind your back. The minka is quiet, unusually quiet indeed. You’re at home but none already welcomed you with great hugs and loud greetings

“’miya?” you call your girlfriend, she should be somewhere around, Yoimiya didn’t tell you about any hangout this morning

“I’m here babe” you hear a muffled voice from the bedroom. You take off your shoes and walk to the other room in socks. You find Yoimiya lazily lying on the bed doing nothing but staring at the ceiling

“I’ve been waiting for you to come home, I have a surprise!”

You throw yourself on her, not letting time to Yoimiya to get up

“aiya? Everything’s okay?” the blonde asks. You put your head on her tummy

“hmm, yeah, I’m just tired” you leave light kisses on the soft skin of her belly. The setting sun is shining through the window, making shadows of your bodies on the wall. Outside, parents are calling their children to get home. Yoimiya braids a strand of your hair

“what did you do of your day ‘miya?” you ask, your voice vibrating on her skin

“well, nothing much, it’s too hot outside to do anything, I just made you a little gift!” Yoimiya takes your hand and gives butterflies kiss

“hm a gift you say? What is it? Kiss and cuddle session with you on the bedsheets?” you try to guess, your girlfriend lightly laugh

“no it’s not unfortunately, we have to wait the night to see it” little dusts are dancing in the orange light rays

“I don’t want to wait that long, I just want to cuddle and sleep in big spoon with you” you mumble, Yoimiya giggles

“okay baby, I’ll show it to you tomorrow then”

Kuki Shinobu:

The front door is already open “I’m home”, you close it behind you

“angel, you’re already here?” you hear Shinobu asking from the living room. You quickly throw your shoes, coat and stuff. Your girlfriend sees you bursting out of the door, tears pricking at the corner of your eyes

“oh my, what happened?!” Shinobu makes you sit on the couch, panicking at the sight of you in this state

“i-I fell in the stairs at-t work and my boss told me to go home be-because I looked exhausted” you struggle to explain, your voice stammering. Shinobu hugs you tight

“it’s okay baby, I’m here, you’re good, everything is fine” she lies you beside her and rests your head on her lap. You sob, trying to stop your tears, Shinobu softly wipes them from your cheeks

“take a deep breath darling, I’m here, do it like me okay?” Shinobu deeply breathe, you copy her as best as you can, then exhale slowly. You repeat the processes two or three time before finally calming down

“Do you want to do something baby?” she brushes your hair

“no I just want to stay here and cuddle” you whisper

“I’m so tired Shinobu, I can’t with this job anymore” hiccups half cuts your sentences

“I think you shouldn’t drop it, you always wanted this work, as long as I know you, you ever dreamt of” she circles her long fingers in your hand

“but what should I do then?” you gently play with the flesh of her soft thighs “I could join the gang, it would change my mind beside work nah?”

“how about taking a few weeks off? I’m sure your boss would agree, he knows how much you involve yourself in this work, how much you’re dedicated” Shinobu massages your shoulders

You take your time to think of it, two weeks away from work, in a new destination, just you and Shinobu. The idea pleases you

“I like that, I’ll talk to my boss about it tomorrow.” Then you slowly fall asleep.

Genshin bachelorettes and bachelors proposing!

Characters: Jean, Diluc, Eula, Itto, Kuki Shinobu, Kujo Sara, Navia, Clorinde, Arlecchino

Cw: fem reader, fluff mostly, some suggestive themes.

Arataki Itto

Oh this was a hard decision. Not that he didn’t want to spend his life with you but if now was the right time to propose. He isn’t exactly the most well off. His gang camps out in the wilderness and he knows your parent’s expect him to improve. And he wants to. With Shinobu’s help he starts to get a education much to your surprise. Slowly working himself up to have more than a basic reading level. When he can land a more steady income then he’ll propose. He wants to get you the best ring in all of Tevyat. Unfortunately he can’t afford that. But Shinobu advises him to aim for more affordable but still pretty rings.

As for the proposal itself. He’s definitely going for either the big party with friends or if he’s spent most of his mora on the ring already he’ll just ask you on a quiet little walk with just you present. But knowing Itto, you probably would’ve found the ring before all that.

Itto may not be the best in terms of providing money, but he’d never slack off elsewhere. His granny raised no coward! If you’re the breadwinner he’ll gladly take up the house chores. He is a bit dumb yes but he is the most loyal and devoted man you could meet. With unwavering support and loyalty. Never will he let you face anything alone.

Eula Lawerence

Marriage is a bit complicated for her. She has renounced her family yes, she is disowned yes. But the subject of last names is what gets her. Truth be told… her last name is a small price to pay for you. She knows the other option isn’t ideal. If you take her name it’ll ruin your reputation.

But.. she’s certain its you she wants. Its you she wants to come home to. Its you she wants to sleep next to every night. And its you she wants to grow old with and feed birds with. She decides to discuss it with you.

Her proposal is less romantic and more straightforward. She knows this is a serious discussion and doesn’t want any miscommunication or misunderstandings. She wants to know if you would take her last name or have her take yours. The decision is yours sure but eitherway she wants only you to be her bride. No one else. No matter how many letters her family sends.

Diluc Ragnvindr

Oh he’s shy! Diluc’s been thinking for so long. How the naked ring finger on your hands seems to irritate him. How he perks up, red and flustered like a schoolgirl when one of his business partners accidentally calls you Mrs Ragnvindr. Said business partner later told him he should consider getting a ring soon. With that he starts planning.

A romantic little date alone at the winery. He takes you out for a picnic near the lake. There is a great deal of preparation taken into this. The entire slime and hilichurl population nearby is turned to zero. Adelinde planting many flowers along the path he’s planning and in the spot he’s picked out. You can be certain Diluc has left nothing to chance here other than your answer. He prepares the finest suit and the finest dress for you. Afterwards there will be a engagement party.

Kuki Shinobu

She too is also more straight forward and less romantic. One night you two were cuddling as she just randomly asked if you want to marry her. Bit jarring sure but hey at least she asked in a semi romantic context.

She handles all the coordination. You two work like a team to save money for a court house wedding with a killer after party. Needless to say the Arataki Gang is heavily involved in throwing the best celebration ever for Kuki Shinobu.

Kujo Sara

For so long Sara believed she was undeserving of love. That her only place in this world was serving the shogun and keeping the peace. But you gave her something other than the shogun to report to. Her home felt more welcoming with you in it. You didn’t change much yet she felt more at ease. She lets you preen her wings, picking out old or damaged feathers to let new ones grow. But unlike the family who took her in you keep her feathers. You say it’s because you can’t throw away something that was apart of her. She secretly likes seeing you collect them. Maybe you’ll even have accessories made out of them and then that sends her to the conclusion that she needs to marry you. Her position is dangerous yes. But she can’t imagine a life without you.

She very much leans to the traditional methods. Asking your parents for their approval. Setting a nice dinner to ask you during.

The ceremony is quite special, she’s a nervous wreck as she worries about anything that could go wrong. But as long as she has you, she won’t have much. To worry about anymore.

Jean Gunnhildr

Oh she’s been planning this for awhile. She’s had the ring ready but she’s been too nervous. The romantic set up she prepares end up not being perfect enough for her so she plays it off. Until you end up proposing yourself, of course she agrees but she’s embarrassed she took too long.

A traditional and beautiful wedding. She ends up letting you plan most of it as she’s already busy but she’s more than eager to help. Its a biggggg event. The acting grandmaster getting married is treated almost like a festival. The people of Mondstadt send you their well wishes and plenty of gifts. To your surprise alot of businesses offered lower price’s because of Jean. She is well beloved by the nation so no doubt is no one going to overprice it. Catering, flowers, decorations, you used the extra money saved to tip the servers well. The Mondstadt Chapel being the location, it was like half of Mondstadt attended. And those who didn’t receive a invite would wait outside. Lord Barbatos seemed to pleased with your union, with clear skies and only a tickling wind. It’s intimidating walking down the isle to see half of Mondstadt looking at you. But when you see just how smitten Jean looks. How she wipes tears as she tries to maintain composure. You don’t feel as scared knowing just how happy she is. She can hardly keep her hands off of you either.

Your honeymoon is in a nice cottage far from the city as you two go together. Lisa left in charge, knights making sure to maintain the perimeter. Its perfect.

Navia

Her proposal will infact be a crazy set up. Sending you on a goose chase to meet with her, each location being a significant place in your relationship. The restaurant you had your first date at, the alley you had your first kiss in, etc etc. the clues hidden closely. Passerby’s participating by helping out or giving you clues as well. And when you finally find her its in Poission, with the flowers blossoming and the wind in your hair. The guards place a pillow on the ground before she gets on one knee, a ring displayed. The ring her father gave her mother. She wants you to have it. To be hers forever and for all eternity.

The wedding is no less complicated. Creative decorations, dozens of desserts, etc. the macaroons decorated to look like either yours or her face. The cake is beautiful. Youve never felt so pretty as when she takes your hand and showers you in praises that would have you marry again if you could. Just the look in her eyes alone has you under a spell. Pure and raw devotion. A lone tear as she knows she’ll never be alone again. Four seats are left empty. Two for her parents. Two for Melus and Silver. But she knows they’re cheering from the grave as she pulls you in for another kiss and another dance. Navia has been through so much heartbreak. You can tell she’s pained at the fact she cannot do her own father daughter dance, not with her dad or Melus. So you make extra sure to be close. But you… all dressed in white… its a great distraction for her. Reassuring her that she’ll never be alone again.

Clorinde

She is a sappy but subtle person. She goes through the effort of the surprise. Making sure you would say yes though. She prepares only the best, a reservation in a private table, the best foods for you to stuff yourself with. She smiles slightly wiping your face herself. The ring is hidden in a cake, with the box sitting ontop. Protected from the icing. You recognize it immediately.

She’d likely prefer a more small wedding. If you want something big then she’ll compromise but for the most part it is mostly close friends and relatives. Clorinde goes through the typical groom and bride stuff where she avoids seeing you in your dress. Walking in to your dressing room, blindfolded to give you a kiss to reassure you everything is fine. She has the finest of everything picked out. No accidents allowed. Her sword is also still hidden on her person at all times just in case. By the end of the reception your lipsticks have blended into one color as she just got too excited.

Arlecchino

She is a romantic at heart yes, but she’s also extremely business minded. She will make her intentions of marriage clear to you. Presenting the pros of it. She’s relieved when you agree but she decided to stage a proper proposal randomly. She wants to surprise you but not too much. There’s some red herrings for you for a little bit. False headings. Until Lyney and Lynette perform a private little magic show in which she magically appears to slip the ring on your finger. Of course the children are absolutely delighted!

The wedding happens in two parts. There’s the business one. With her harbinger colleagues and others. You got to meet the Tsarsita who bestows you with her blessing, a nerve wracking ordeal indeed. You spend the entire day at Arlecchino’s side trying to dodge the confusing questions the harbingers ask. They feel oh so scary but fear not, for she will not stand to watch her beloved wife be intimidated. If they get out of line she will not hesitate to put them back in their place.

The second one is for the orphanage. All of her children called to attend in the biggest ceremony. A large celebration filled with warmth and joy for you. Your family and friends can come to this one and only this one. It’s something you actually were more than fine with considering her colleagues. The children are so very happy to see their father so happy too. Her hand never leaves your side. You dance until your feet are sore. Unfortunately you teo don’t get to have a honeymoon but the kids will make sure you have no chores for a week straight while you and your husband wife relax.

Hello good morning / good night! could i request a Hc of Genshin women's reaction to receiving flowers from their s/o ? (if possible Fem!reader please). I already thank you in advance :) , feel free to delete !

hi! this sounds cute, please enjoy

Various Genshin Women x reader

✧their reaction to receiving flowers

✧fluff, genshin male ver

She's surprised to say the least. It wasn't something that she was expecting to see when she arrives home. She's very thankful that you thought of her and bought her some beautiful flowers! She accepts them gratefully and will put them as the center piece on a table.

-Eula, Jean, Ningguang, Kokomi, Yun Jin, Ayaka, Nilou

She's happy! She loves the flowers you picked out and will cherish them for as long as she can. She takes extremely well care of them and is disappointed when she has to get rid of them because they've hit the end of their life span. She absolutely loves them and will put them on display and mention how you had gotten them for her.

-Collei, Yoimiya, Beidou, Hu Tao, Xinyan, Amber

The poor girl is a little flustered that you had gotten her a gift! Why didn't you tell her before? She would have gotten you something as well! She really does like them though and will always think of you whenever she sees those flowers now! Not that she wasn't thinking of you before, of course.

-Sucrose, Ganyu, Ayaka, Kuki, Layla

I mean, of course you got her a gift. Why wouldn't you? Whether this be her thought process to protect her own ego, to hide the butterflies inside her, or even just to poke fun at you before thanking you for them, she really does like the gift! No matter what type of flower it is, she thinks it was very thoughtful of you to get her a gift while you were out!

-Yae, Lisa, Mona, Fischl, Faruzan, Hu Tao, Yelan

She has a neutral expression for the most part. You can't tell if she doesn't like it or if she isn't sure how to react. At this point, you might as well ask but, before you can she thanks you. A small smile appears on her face (possibly accompanied by a small blush forming on her cheeks) as she looks at you.

-Rosaria, Shenhe, Ei, Sara, Kuki

please do not repost any of my work without my permission, thank you for reading.

i never see anything for a lot of the genshin women, and i recently built kuki and i have no idea how i lived without her. she is the loml

just shinobu having a fat crush on you :3!

Kuki is a VERY busy woman. She’s always running around inazuma and cleaning up after the arataki gang. She has a hard time admitting it but as much as she loves everyone in the gang, it still takes a toll on her sometimes.

So, whenever she sees you (whether in passing or purposefully), she can’t help feeling the blood rush to her face.

She; obliviously, is good at keeping her composure a lot of the time.

But sometimes. sometimes. she just can’t help but lose herself a little bit.

So whenever she stares a bit too long, somehow noticing the smallest details you’ve put into your outfit, or looking you up and down with an adoring smile on her face,

(she gets to do this pretty freely. with her mask and all. thank god for that.)

or if every so often you say something slightly sweet to her, she just falls more and more for you.

Maybe she now looks forward to the gang doing stupid things, as long as it’s somewhere she could possibly see you <3

imagine kissing them.

imagine them melting against your lips, resting in your hold. imagine their muted sigh against you, the relief that chases away the exhaustion in their limbs.

imagine their hands: wandering, careless, thoughtlessly holding your waist, your arms, your shoulders. imagine their starry eyes gently closed, their skin so beautiful under your fingers.

imagine kissing them again and again, sharing comfort and sweet nothings that turn into everything under the warm breeze and heavy moon.

Gym headcanons with Kuki Shinobu!

A/N: While I worked out today, this idea came. Enjoy!

CW: Male reader, some spiciness.

Kuki Shinobu works on every part of herself - both the mind, and the body. With freelancing comes a lot of spare time, so she can easily find time to hit the gym three times a week.

Let’s be real - most people train to get those tasty looks. Shinobu is not much different. Among her certificates was one about general health, but she treats health benefits more as a very nice bonus. You may tell her you fell for her personality, skills or fashion sense, but she knows full well what it was exactly that caught your eye.

And she is proud of her fitness. As with everything else in her life, she got it by hard work (and her luck in the genetic lottery as well, of course). So why not flaunt it?

She knows her strong sides, and works to enhance them in any way possible. She works on her belly muscles with plenty of crunches to get that nice, flat stomach. Shinobu doesn’t do them very often, though. She prefers to have a little fat on her tummy - just for you to rest your head on. Same goes for her thighs.

She knows that what she’s lacking in her upper body she makes up for in her lower parts. Her outfit selection, the booty shorts, weren’t picked by accident. But Shinobu knows that she can still do better. Squats are by far her most frequent and most liked exercises.

Most hated? Certainly butterfly kicks. They’re so exhausting and straining on her lower body. Since she tends to get more sore than most people, doing them too much makes it painful to walk the next day, regardless of how much winding down she does.

When it comes to the rest of her body, it’s running most of the time. She wants to keep her silhouette slim, and her stamina high. Except running places, which draws some unusual looks from passersby, but is ultimately a lot faster than walking to her destination, high endurance has… other uses. Shinobu loves to take you out on evening runs through Inazuma City outskirts, when the air is lovably cool and humid. And the smell of dew-sprinkled grass? Amazing.

When you’re going together, expect plenty of wordless teasing from her. She’s not shy at all for you, even more - she feels better when you’re watching her work out. While you’ll be doing dumbbell lifts, she’s going to find a spot in your line of sight, or more precisely right in front of you, and do squats.

And don’t try to hide away from her either. She goes to the gym to train and to watch you work in equal measure. Simply watching your arms tense up while you bench press, or listening to all those delicious moans and groans of effort… At the end of the day, she can’t tell what got her more hot - those, or the treadmill?

Likes to work out at home as well, on her stationary bike. Even more so that you can finally go shirtless for her. She LOVES when you leave your top behind and wear those bench press gloves. It does horrible things for her focus sadly.

Will wait until you get home to shower together. Usually, the girl is absolutely exhausted to the core, so horniness is going to be rare. Most of the time she’ll just clean herself and you or vice versa.

Shinobu gets extra sleepy after workouts. Like, barely-walking kind of sleepy. As soon as you leave the shower, she’ll just lay on top of you on the couch or the bed and have the best sleep of her life. With your arms around her hard-earned beautiful stomach, of course.

The only downside of training are the muscle sores. For most people they are uncomfortable at worst, but for this girl? Absolute. Nightmare. Ease her pain with a good, long and tender massage, will you? If you do, she may as well love you forever!

Thanks for reading!

A Piece Without You [Kazuha x Reader]

(Modern AU) Inspired by Your Lie In April

I almost forgot that I posted something and I didn't really know what to post next lmao. I wrote this since April is still here and thought this idea fit perfectly for this month (published at april 30, that was close-)

no spoilers really and I guess angst?? (i don't think this will be emotional as the anime but yeah)

Enjoy!

Your whole life was nothing but wonderful. Sure, there were still ups and downs, but you fulfilled yourself a great life.

You were from Sumeru City and moved to Inazuma City because of your parent's work. Even so, you still managed to come in contact with your friends from Sumeru and make friends in Inazuma.

And ever since you were a child, you loved nothing but playing the piano.

You had performed so much back in Sumeru and still managed to play a few performances in Inazuma.

Because of your love for music, you loved to become a pianist. You were excited to achieve it in your whole life.

Well, that is...

Until you found out you were diagnosed with a chronic illness. It was an unknown illness and was rare around Sumeru: Eleazar.

Your parents were devasted when they found out about the news. Sometimes, you think this was one of the reasons you moved to Inazuma.

Unfortunately, the doctors couldn't treat you right because Eleazar wasn't recorded to have a cure.

You were upset about it and still are. But even so, that still didn't stop you from playing the piano or being happy again.

You still had things you wanted to achieve. Even though you can't live long, you want to make the most of it in Inazuma.

When you made new friends in Inazuma, you ultimately decided not to tell them about your illness. You felt like if you tell them about it, it would bring everyone down for a long time and affect them.

Of course, you'd have to tell them at some point, but you wanted to enjoy your time together with your new friends without your illness in the way.

It was only your first day, and you immediately got yourself, great friends.

Unfortunately, your new friends: Yoimiya, Heizou, Shinobu, and Itto, have different classes, so you tried to find your way to your class.

But as you were walking, you heard a beautiful melody. It sounded gentle, and the sound just put you at ease.

Deciding to check where it came from, you found the music coming from an empty classroom.

You peeked through the door to find the source of the melody. The gentle music was played by a guy playing the flute.

Your cheeks flushed a light shade of red as you took in the boy's appearance.

He had platinum blonde hair with a noticeable red-orange streak and red eyes.

'He's pretty…' You thought as he continued to play the flute.

Suddenly, he stops which made you confused, wanting him to play more. Unexpectedly, he slowly turns his head toward your direction, slightly widening his eyes at you.

'Oh no!' You blushed even more as you stopped peaking and hide behind the door completely. God, you were embarrassed.

"Excuse me?" You jumped and turned your head to see the boy next to you. "Did you need something?"

"Oh, no, I don't!" You quickly said. "I'm sorry, I was just... I thought your playing was lovely."

He looked surprised for a moment before giving you a gentle smile. "Ah, I see. It's okay, and thank you."

You smiled at him. "Oh, right! My name is (Name)!"

"Oh, (Name)? The transfer student?"

"Uh, yes I am. How did you know?"

"Oh, it's just my friends kept talking about you." He said, which made you confused since you hadn't met anyone else other than your friends.

"Who are your friends?"

"Ah, well, I'm good friends with Heizou and Yoimiya." Oh, his answer made sense.

"Oh, you know them? That's great!" You said, thinking this is a step to becoming friends with him.

He smiled back but then remembered his introduction. "Oh, and my name is Kaedehara Kazuha. But please, Kazuha is perfectly fine!"

"Nice to meet you, Kazuha!"

Months have passed, and ever since you met, you two became nothing but close.

And since he played the flute and you played the piano, you grew more connected with him as you played together as a duet sometimes.

At first, he was reluctant to play the flute again and even play with you. Because of some things he never mentioned to you.

But ever since, you tried to help him get out of there and encourage him to continue playing.

The more connected you two have been, the more your feelings for him grew.

///FLASHBACK///

"I'm sorry for your loss." Those were the words Kazuha made out from the doctor as he broke down in the empty hospital.

Ever since that day, he became nothing but filled with regret.

Tomo, his best friend, got into a car accident and died by saving him.

He remembers that day all too well. He could remember his body being pushed out of the road. He could remember seeing his best friend bleeding out. He could remember the people around them shouting to call the ambulance and the driver crying and apologizing.

He remembers crying and holding him, desperately calling him to wake up.

And since then, Kazuha suddenly stopped playing the flute.

Tomo loved to watch him play it and always encouraged Kazuha to keep playing. But, after that, he doesn't know if he could play again.

Of course, he wanted to keep playing. He loved his flute very much to let it go. But his regret of his friend's death held him back so much that he couldn't play what he loved the most.

Sometimes, he still managed to play it, but those are rare things to encounter.

If he hadn't played the flute in that empty classroom, he wouldn't have met you.

For a long time, he was grateful he played the flute again.

After a few days of meeting in the empty classroom, he was surprised to find you playing the piano in the music room.

"Wow, you play the piano so well," Kazuha said admiringly. You thanked him shortly before playing the piece again. "Can I ask, how long have you been playing the piano?"

You stopped playing before answering him. "Hmm, I guess since I was seven? I can't really remember that much, but I've always loved to play the piano!"

When your fingers were about to press the keys again, you remember his flute. "Oh, that reminds me. Do you think you could play the flute again?"

You noticed he slightly jumped at your sudden request, and you thought you made him uncomfortable. "Oh, I'm sorry! Did I say something wrong? You don't have to if you don't want!"

"No, no, no! It's okay!" He said quickly which made you sigh. "It's just…"

You noticed his tone sounded a bit sad. He then muttered. "I don't really play the flute anymore…"

"What! Why!?" You shouted in shock. He was so good when you met him, and you find out he stopped playing!?

He didn't respond and only looked down at the floor. He heard you sigh and felt your hands on his shoulders which made him look up.

"Sorry, you don't need to tell me. It's just..." You trailed off, thinking carefully about your words. "You were so good playing at it a few days ago."

"Thanks, but…" He muttered. "I just can't."

You looked at him with concern as he looked down. You thought for a moment and an idea popped out.

You snapped your fingers to his face which made him look up again. "Hey, look up and look at me. Don't look down."

"Come on," You said as you grabbed his hand.

"Huh, wait, where are we going?" He asked.

"We're going to have fun; come on!" You said before dragging him out of the music room, ignoring his yells of protest.

You decided to help get his mind off the negative feelings he must've been feeling earlier, so you two hung out at different cafes, parks, and malls.

After that, Kazuha ended up having a bright smile on his face; he forgot why he was so down earlier.

//A FEW DAYS LATER//

It was a new day, and you signed up for a music contest. And somehow, you managed to get Kazuha to come to play with you.

You two were in the waiting room, and you were going through your piece sheets. You were calm, and Kazuha was panicking as he scanned the sheets.

"What's wrong?" You say, noticing his distress.

"Sorry, it's just… I don't know if I can do this." Kazuha muttered. "It's been quite a while since I've performed in front of other people."

"It's okay. I understand," You reassuringly smiled at him. "But, I'm sure you will do good-"

You paused, seeing him still in his thoughts as he scrambled through the sheets.

You pouted and took a deep breath before slamming your forehead against his, which startled him.

"W-What the!?" He yelled as he clutched his forehead in pain. "What was that for!?"

"That's for being an idiot and for looking down again!" You shouted back in response. Surprisingly, no one heard you two.

As Kazuha tried to soothe his forehead, he felt you moving his head. He looked up and see you leaning your forehead to his.

"Look at me." You muttered as he watched with wide eyes.

"Keep your head up and look at me. You're like that because you keep looking down. It's okay. We can do it. I know you can do it."

It was silent for a moment as the platinum blonde-haired male took in your words. Before he could say anything else, both of your names were called.

"Oh, looks like it's our turn now!" You beamed. "Let's go."

The next thing for you and Kazuha was that you were standing on the stage in front of many people who clapped for you.

You were seated in front of the piano as Kazuha stood near you, with his flute ready in his hand.

You both took a moment to settle yourself. After a while, you began by starting the first few of your notes. Kazuha waited a bit before starting his part, being in sync with the piano.

Everyone watched you both in awe, including your friends who came to support you.

"Wow, I never thought (Name) was good at playing the piano!" Yoimiya silently cheered.

Heizou nodded. "Yeah, and I'm glad to see Kazuha playing the flute again."

"They're both so cool!" Itto beamed quietly as Shinobu chuckled.

"Aww, I wish the others could see this. I think they would absolutely like (Name)," said Yoimiya, referring to her other friends you haven't met yet.

"Well, after this, we can try to introduce them to them," Shinobu said which Yoimiya agreed.

And as both of you were playing more and more intense, everyone started to muttered in admiration.

"Wow, they're both so good!" "This is incredible!" "I hope they win"

At some point in his performance, he started to get overwhelmed by the amount of attention put on both of you. He tried focusing more, trying not to mess up.

He made eye contact with you and immediately remembered your words.

'Don't look down. Look up and look at me.' 'We can do this.' 'I know you can do it.'

Kazuha ignored his overwhelming thoughts as he continued to play.

He missed playing the flute.

You were watching him play freely with a soft smile before focusing your attention on your piano.

You both played and played.

After a while, Kazuha's flute began dying down before you softly pressed the piano keys, creating a soft melody before stopping, indicating you both were done.

It was silent in the auditorium before one person started to clap loudly, and everyone join in as they cheered.

You could make out the screams of your friends as you and Kazuha breathed heavily.

You both turned to each other. You gave Kazuha a wide smile with laughing. He returned your smile and chuckled along with you.

//ANOTHER FLASHBACK - WEEKS AFTER THE MUSIC CONTEST//

You and Kazuha were walking and chatting along the way.

"Seriously, I just know that guy was cheating off of me!" You exclaimed.

"Hehe, you just can't admit defeat in that card game." He chuckled as you pouted.

While walking on a bridge, you notice the sky turning yellow and orange, realizing it will almost be the sunset. You lean on the bridge railing, admiring the view. Kazuha also did the same next to you with a soft smile. The silence was peaceful until you spoke up.

"Hey, Kazuha," You trailed off as the male beside you hummed in response. "Would you want to participate in another competition?"

The male beside you widened his eyes. He stayed silent, pondering your question. "I'm not sure."

You looked at him as he looked down again. "Are you scared again?"

He didn't say anything.

"You know," He turned to you as you started off with a soft voice, "I remember when I was young, I was always scared of the spotlight. I mean, I still am. The thought of presenting something in front of a big audience terrifies me. It's not always that; I'm sometimes scared to show others. I'm scared that if I come up to the stage, I will mess up or think nobody will like it.

But no matter how I felt, I always played."

You made eye contact with him as he took in your words again.

"I see," Kazuha muttered.

You then flashed him another bright smile which confused him. "You know what? Follow me!"

He was about to ask what you meant before exclaiming in worry when you got up to the bridge's railing. "Hey, wait! What are you doing!?"

"Let's take a chance in moving forward! Come on!" You said before yelling and jumping into the water below as he exclaimed again.

He looked at the water, frantically looking for you. You then popped your head out of the water and looked at him from above, laughing while playing with the water.

"Come on! Come here with me!"

He looked below you, still processing. With your words playing in his head, he suddenly replays a similar scene in his mind…

"3, 2, 1! WEEEEE!" Tomo shouted happily as Kazuha shouted in fear as they both jumped from above. Both heads came out of the water before they looked at each other and burst out laughing as they played with the water.

His eyes softened at you and sighed. '…You just know how to make me smile, do you?' He didn't realize his cheeks were turning red.

Finally joining you, he went up to the bridge's railings and jumped. His whole body went into the water as you waited for him to come out.

He popped out of the water and turned to you.

"Hehe, how was it?" You smiled at him.

He then bursted out laughing. "It was scary! But I felt great!"

You were surprised before laughing alongside him. You then splashed water on his face, making him stop before giving you a mischevious smirk.

You both ended up playing in the water, completely wet. But you both enjoyed it, that's all that matters.

In the end, you knew that you liked him.

Those were the greatest memories you both have cherished together within the past few months.

With you on his side, Kazuha grew to play the flute more and more again because you.

Yes, both of you gained mutuals feelings to each other. But obviously, the two of you didn't know the other felt the same way.

You also grew more connected with your other friends a lot more.

You felt like everything in Inazuma was perfect.

Until

At some point, you and Kazuha played once again on stage.

Playing intense pieces and being overwhelmed wasn't anything new to you when you play the piano because you get into it.

It was only the middle of the performance. But for some reason, you felt lightheaded. You didn't know what was happening.

Your world begins spinning, and your vision is becoming blurry. You tried to deal with it as you continued playing, but it grew worse and worse.

You will hate yourself for this later, but you have no choice.

You stopped playing mid-performance. Shocked, everyone's attention was all on you. Kazuha had also stopped playing.

"What the?" "Why did she stop?" "She was doing so good…" "The other guy stopped for her"

You got up from your seat, clutching your head in pain as it became worse. You barely hear Kazuha saying your name with a lace of worry in his voice.

You looked at him with a blurry vision. And that was the last thing you see before your body fell to the sides and everything went dark.

/////

The reason you fainted was because of your Eleazar.

And what's worse, you were forced to tell your friends about it now. This wasn't how you planned to reveal them.

It became even worse when the doctor said that my Eleazar is becoming more effective and that I might not have a lot of months to live. Now, everyone's mood is down.

"Guys, really, I'm fine." You smiled, reassuringly to them.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Yoimiya asked.

You sighed. "I knew you'd guys would react this way."

While you and the others converse, Kazuha stayed silent, still processing over the news.

Heizou noticed this and decided to lead Kazuha out of the room. Itto watched them in concern before following them.

You watched him leaving, feeling guilty.

For the next few weeks, you stayed in the hospital as your body weakened more because of your illness.

Your friends visit you from time to time. But, for some reason, Kazuha hasn't been seeing you that much. He still visits a few times, but not frequently as your other friends.

You felt like you two were falling apart since you were best friends. Your feelings stayed the same even if you thought he hated you now.

So, you were surprised that one day when you rested, you saw him entering your room.

"Hey," He said as he seated beside you. You greeted him back.

You both didn't say anything else, making the silence more awkward.

"Kazuha?" You said, gaining his attention. "I'm sorry for not telling you."

"It's fine." He sighed. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine." You smiled. "Hey, have you been playing?"

"No, not really."

"Thought so. But don't you have a contest soon? Why?"

"...I just can't anymore."

'Because music takes away people I care about.' Kazuha thought. 'I can't handle it anymore. I already lost Tomo, and I'm going to lose you next. I'll be all alone again."

"You know, I want to live." You suddenly spoke, making his attention on you again.

You smiled sadly. "I don't know how much time I have left. But I'm going to fight. I'll fight whatever comes my way so I can live for myself. I want to eat my favorite treats again. I want to play the piano again. I want to hang out with my friends again. I want to hang out with you again."

"In the next few days, you will fight for yourself. You'll do that when you play the flute again in the contest." You paused before sighing. "So, let's keep fighting hard together for ourselves."

His eyes widened at your words. But then suddenly, he sighed. "I'm afraid."

"Hm, afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid of losing you." You were surprised, but let him continue. "(Name), you're my best friend. I enjoy playing with you and hanging out with you. But for some reason, I'm more afraid than you are. I'm afraid of being alone."

You didn't say anything for a few moments before sighing. "You won't ever be alone. Even when I'm gone, I'll be watching you guys above the clouds."

"But your wrong about one thing. I am afraid."

He turned to you and gasped as he saw your broken smiles, with tears forming in your eyes. "Of course, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I'll never see you guys. I'm afraid I won't live soon. I'm... afraid of dying."

You put your head on his chest, wrapping yourself around him as he hugged back immediately. "...I don't want to die. I want to live. There's still so much I want to do. There's so much I haven't done yet. I want to be with my friends. I want to be with my parents. I want to be with you. But, I'm scared."

You started sobbing on his shirt, but he didn't care. "I'm scared! I'm so scared! I-I don't want to die!"

His heart broke. He hugged you tighter, giving you silent comfort as you continued to cry.

...

After a few days, you ended up dying in your hospital bed because of Eleazar.

It was the same day as Kazuha's flute competition. He won at that time, already knowing you passed away.

It has been a few days since your funeral.

Your parents and your friends mourning about it for a while, but they will never forget about you.

Kazuha and his friends are walking to school together. All of them are laughing and chatting.

"Hey, Kazuha?" Itto's loud voice rang to him. "Have you read the letter?"

"What letter?" Shinobu asked.

"He got a letter from (Name)'s parents," Heizou answered.

"No, I haven't yet, but I will later."

Moments later, it was finally lunchtime. Every student is instantly popping out of their classrooms; most of the hallways are flooded with chatter.

Kazuha excused himself from his friends and went to the rooftop.

He spotted an empty bench and sat down while he pulls out his lunch. As so, he pulled out the letter from his pocket. Thus, he began to read it.

...

'Dear, Kaedehara Kazuha

How are you? I hope you did your best in the competition. And I hope you looked up instead of looking down.

You know...

I'm happy I moved to Inazuma

I never thought Inazuma would create an impact on me.

Of course, I could never forget my childhood back in Sumeru

But I loved Inazuma just as much as I loved my old home.

I loved my friends so much. And I'm happy they introduced me to the others.

But I'm happy to meet you too.

When I first met you, the sound of your flute was so beautiful. It was so peaceful, gentle, and angelic; it was simply beautiful.

I never heard something so beautiful before.

I was disappointed you stopped playing in the empty classroom because of me. I recalled being surprised when you told me you didn't play the flute often.

But I understood. It must've been hard for you to lose someone.

Oh, I know about Tomo.

Shinobu once told me about him when I was in the hospital. Don't blame her; blame me for asking about your reason.

You stopped playing because you lost your number-one supporter.

You know, after a few days since we met in that empty classroom, I asked our friends if you played the flute a lot.

I found out you did, but you stopped. I didn't know the reason exactly at that time, but they said it was because of guilt.

Even though I couldn't understand why you stopped, I focused solely on one thing: You love the flute.

I made you enter a contest with me because I wanted you to play the flute again.

I knew how much you loved playing it, but you were too afraid to play it. That's why I tried to help you find your love in it again.

I didn't want you to stop playing as a way to deal with the loss of your friend.

That's why I wanted you to look forward. Remember? Don't look down. Just continue looking forward.

I remember jumping off that bridge together. It was so fun and I had a blast playing with you.

I enjoyed our so-called mall 'dates' together. Thank you for buying me the things I liked, even though they were so simple.

I had so much fun spending time together with our friends. I want to thank Yoimiya for helping me pick my outfits. I loved my talks with Heizou and Shinobu about our favorite novels. I could never stop laughing and thinking about Itto raging in TCG. I had so much fun talking to you about the things we enjoy and do not.

Remember playing together? I adored those moments the most because it's when we played something we both loved.

I loved that your music filled my heart each time you played it so wonderfully. It's so little, but I will forever cherish it.

How about you?

I wonder if I reached you. I hope I did.

Hey

Please don't forget me. Promise me you won't forget me.

I'll be up in the clouds watching over you guys.

I'm glad I met you.

...I love youI love youI love you, Kazuha.

Thank you for everything.

-(Name) (Last Name)'

...

The platinum-haired male closed the letter as he took a breath after reading it.

His red eyes looked up at the sky, imagining your figure with Tomo's.

He let out a soft smile as he muttered.

"I love you too."
