𖦹. ━ THOMA !!

The moment he meets your eyes, Thoma knows something is wrong. Try as you might to hide it, stuffing your emotions down so as not to burden him with your problems, —he simply knows you too well to ignore the subtlety sullen expression you're wearing. His approach is gentle and comforting, greeting you with a warm hug. By no means is that out of the ordinary, —in fact, it would have likely felt more bizarre if he hadn't done so. However, this time he holds you a little closer and for a little while longer than he usually would.

"Are you hungry?" He asks the moment he pulls himself away, smoothing some loose strands of hair out of your face. "I can make you a snack if you'd like. I also just poured some dango milk, so feel free to drink up if you want some."

A smile tugs at the corners of your lips. It's hard to feel down when you're around Thoma, —maybe even impossible. His smile and laugh are infectious, and he brightens any room he steps foot in. He's so sweet that it's hard to believe he's real sometimes and not a story book prince that's come to life by way of some magical spell.

"No thanks," you shake your head, not feeling up to eating or drinking anything at the moment.

You're sure to thank him for his offers though.

"Is there anything you wanna talk about then?" He asks, being sure to tread lightly.

He doesn't want to make you feel pressured to tell him anything. If you'd like to keep things to yourself, that's more than okay, and Thoma completely respects that! However, he also wants to be sure that you know you can come to him when you need encouragement, advice, or even just someone to lend an ear to your troubles.

Of course, with a lover like Thoma, you already know all of that and more.

"It was just a hard day," you admit. "Nothing seemed to go right, and I kept making silly mistakes that I'd normally never have made any other time. I don't know why either. Everything just seemed to go wrong."

He looks at you with sympathetic eyes, hand reaching out to grasp for yours. Thoma smoothes his thumb across the ridge of your knuckles, nodding in understanding.

"Everyone has days like that," he assures you, voice so sweet it might as well be dripping with honey. "Sometimes easy tasks just don't go the way we'd like them too, and that can be frustrating. But you made it through, didn't you?"

"Yeah," you nod in confirmation, "I did."

"Because you're strong, and nobody should be judged by their roughest days. Tomorrow's another chance to start again, do things differently, and ease yourself back into normalcy."

He sing-songs a "but," free hand reaching out to grasp for your own.

"Tonight is a chance to let things go and know that you can fix them later on. So, for now, —let me rub your shoulders for a while, and then I'll make dinner. Your favorite. How's that sound?"

You feel your stress slipping away in his wake, and you pull him in for another warm hug. Thoma squeezes you a little tighter, pressing a fervent kiss to your temple in the process. There's always been something about him that's soothed you, calmed your stormy seas into little more than lapping tides. It's easy to forget your problems when you're with him.

"You're the best," you mumble into his chest, which leaves Thoma grinning from ear to ear.

When it comes to you, he's foolishly lovesick. You make his heart race a mile a minute, and he loves every second of it. "I am pretty cool," he playfully agrees, "—but you're the best, actually. Now come sit, make yourself comfortable and I'll help get rid of some of this tension."

𖦹. ━ ITTO !!

Itto tends to be a little oblivious to the feelings of others. Actually, he can be pretty aloof in regard to his own emotions as well, so it can't really be helped that he doesn't immediately notice that you're a little upset. You tell yourself it's probably for the best anyway, —he seems to have had a fairly good day, no complaints to make note of, and you don't want to simmer his mood down. Even so, it's almost impossible to keep up a happy-go-lucky facade after your stress filled day. From start to finish, it was as if the world were stacking all odds against you.

By the time you were halfway through, you were already prepared to just go home and shut out the rest of the world for at least the rest of the night. But forgoing your responsibilities just wasn't an option, unfortunately.

Eventually, Itto picks up on your unusual amount of silence and decides to ask if everything is alright. He takes a seat next to you and places his large hands on his thighs, thumbs curling under his palms.

"You haven't said much since you got back," he notes, "is everything okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, —everything's fine," you say, but you can't tell if you're trying to reassure him or yourself more with those words.

It's a little white lie. . .

"I'm just tired," you elaborate. "Guess the day felt longer than it really was."

"You just seem sad," the oni says, "and I don't like it when you're sad. It makes me sad."

"Oh. . . I-I'm sorry," you apologize reflexively, "today was just a little rough and I. . ."

Your words trail off, but Itto quickly corrects himself.

"Don't be sorry! All I meant was that I don't like seeing you look sad because you deserve to be happy! But, humans and oni. . . We both have feelings! I know it can't be helped sometimes, so you have nothing to be apologizing for. It's only natural."

Somehow, that sentiment you were already well aware of makes you crack the first smile of the day. Maybe it was just something in the way he said it, but it brightened your mood with ease.

"Thank you," you tell him, slinking yourself into his side.

The sudden touch surprises him a little, but he welcomes it all the same. He places an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close and allowing you to snuggle into his body. His lips ghost along the crown of your head.

"You can stay at my side as long as you need,* Itto tells you, "—even if that means you'll be here forever."

Of course, that's an outlandish prospect by all accounts. Even so, the idea of it doesn't seem half bad. If you could spend the rest of your life surrounded by his warmth, you probably would, —and who could really blame you? At the end of the day, your soft-hearted boyfriend is little more than a giant teddy bear.

A teddy bear with a lot of built-up muscle and a lengthy criminal record, but a teddy bear nonetheless!

𖦹. ━ DILUC !!

Diluc doesn't ask right away. The last thing he wants to do is overstep, and although he doubts you'd feel that way about his inquiry, he doesn't want to risk making a wrong move and spoiling your already sour mood even more so. His top priority in the situation is your well being, —so he whips you up something fresh to drink and even offers to prepare something for you to snack on.

He feels more comfortable asking about your downtrodden expression once you've taken the drink. As you sip on it, Diluc places a single hand softly on your shoulder, a reassuring warmth seeping from his palm to your skin through the fabric of your shirt.

"Did something happen today?" He asks.

You bite at the inside of your cheek, struggling to be completely honest. It was just a rough day from the very beginning, and things had progressively gotten worse as it went along. It was hard juggling all of your missed steps on top of everything else, and by the time you were free to go home, you were left with a heavy feeling in your chest. Even so, you don't want to bring Diluc into it. You know his job is stressful enough as it is, especially when he doubles as the midnight vigilante that protects Mondstadt from the shadows once the moon makes its way into the sky.

"Just. . . Just some small things that built up, I guess. Nothing horrible, but my day could have gone a lot smoother," you acknowledge truthfully.

"Would you like to talk about it?" Diluc suggests, thinking that maybe getting the finer details off your chest would help to alleviate some of your displeasure.

You decline the offer, knowing that rehashing things now will only make you feel silly for being so blue about it all in the aftermath. Still, you make sure to tell Diluc that you're appreciative of his offer.

The drink he made for you is halfway gone by the time he slips his arms around your waist and rests him chin on the crown of your head. It's a simple gesture, but you can't help but to feel special when Diluc pulls you close to him like this. He's so reserved that only you get to experience such acts from him, and knowing that makes your heart skip a beat.

"It's okay if you're not interested in talking about things," he says, reassuringly so. "Just know that I love you, and if you change your mind, I'm always here to listen."

Diluc tends to be more of a read-between-the-lines type of guy, so for him to be so upfront is a bit of a surprise. A welcome one, granted, but a surprise nonetheless.

"But, if you don't, that's fine too," he continues. "It's up to you. And I'll be here no matter what."

His sudden vocality is a bit startling if you're being honest, but you appreciate his effort to be more communicative nonetheless. You lean into his warmth, finding comfort there. His body heat seems to dim all the negative thoughts and feelings plaguing you after your less than stellar day.

He offers you a few small pecks to the apple of your cheek for good measure.

𖦹. ━ ZHONGLI !!

Though Zhongli has only lived amongst humans for a short time in comparison to what his appearance might lead many to believe, he's become quite adept at ascertaining emotions from small details. He's become especially good at identifying your moods in particular, so it comes as little to no shock when you come home after a fairly rough day and Zhongli almost immediately catches onto your thinly veiled fretting.

"Today didn't quite go as planned, I presume?" He asks, placing a comforting hand on your knee as he takes a seat beside you

It's a small geture, but it means the world to you.

"Not exactly," you reply. "Nothing that happened was all that bad, but it became harder for me to focus once my rhythm had been thrown off, and I ended up scrambling for the rest of the day."

Zhongli nods in understanding.

"Some days are harder than others. The best you can give will be different at any given time, so it's important to acknowledge your efforts and treat yourself with kindness, even when you don't feel like you're working to the fullest of your capabilities."

Ah, there he goes again, being so wise. You can't help but to smile when he speaks to you like this, tailoring advice to you from his long history of experiences. When you tell him things, no matter how disjointed at times, he seems to see right through all the inconsistencies and the emotions that get jumbled up in the mix, cutting through to the heart of the problem no matter what it may be.

"I'll keep that in mind," you nod, "—thank you."

He senses very quickly that you feel something is missing but don't have the nerve to ask for it. He pauses, waiting to see if you'll cave and just be honest about your desires. When you don't, however, Zhongli decides to offer himself to you.

"Would you like a hug?" He asks, pressing the flat of his palm to the crown of your head affectionately.

You're a bit embarrassed that it was so easy to see through you, but you're certainly not in any place to turn him away. After all, you really do want that hug. So, you nod your head, and Zhongli smiles at you softly before pulling you into his embrace.

𖦹. ━ XIAO !!

As someone who hasn't spent much time around humans or the adepti that live among them, Xiao is quite a bit out of touch with his own feelings, —as well as everyone else's. Emotions aren't an easy thing to muster up for him, nor to understand in others. Still, he's by no means oblivious to the way you don't greet him as happily when he shows up at random this evening.

Even so, he says nothing of it until hours have passed, the evening sunlight has been replaced by a waning moon, and you've yet to truly seem like yourself.

"Are you unhappy?" Xiao eventually asks.

He maintains a steady distance for the time being, uncertain of what it is you need. If he were to go off his own personal experiences, he'd likely give you space and time to sit alone and think, to process, to grieve whatever's happened. . . But he's proficient enough in the way humans work now to understand that being alone isn't always preferable. In fact, now that he's thinking about it, being alone hasn't always been preferable to him, either.

"Unhappy?" You parrot, "—I don't think I'd say that, no. . . I'm just a little down is all."

He nods in understanding and closed the gap between you a bit, standing nearer to you.

"Is there a reason why?"

He asks because, from what Xiao has gathered, sometimes humans just feel sad because they do, with no inherent rhyme or reason.

"Not a singular one, no," you shake your head, "but a lot of small things built up over the course of the day, and I ended up. . . Feeling really overwhelmed," you elaborate.

Now that Xiao understands. He knows what it's like to be completely and utterly in over your head, floundering for breath, making mistake after mistake. He understands very well the way pressure builds inside the body, threatening to explode in any form it can, —whether in sadness, anger, frustration, or something completely different altogether.

"Is there something I can do to help?"

Such a simple gesture, and yet it means the world to you.

You don't need anything in particular. It's obvious that you can just try again tomorrow, be better than you were today. . . You know how to fix things, how to men your mistakes and get quickly back on track. But the fact that Xiao is so clearly going outside of his comfort zone to offer you refuge away from yourself is enough to make your heart jump in the cavern of your chest.

"Could I just have a hug?" You inquire honestly.

Though Xiao is quite a bit taken aback by that, he sees no point in denying you one. So, he nods his head and wordlessly accepts you into his arms, holding you close. One of his hands comes up to lie flat against the back of your head. He doesn't say it, but you know you can stay there for as long as you need.

Tohma teases you all the time, he knows it's a bit mean, but he likes watching your face go slightly red when he batts his eyes and asks if the reason you're staring is ‘because you have a little a crush on him.’ He thinks it's adorable when you huff about how you were 'just glancing across a room that he happened to be in'.

So why is it that he's dreading being patronized by you for what he's about to do?

He's considered one of the popular kids, a hotshot if you will, and has no shortage of love letters flooding his locker, desk, and mailbox regularly. He knows he's good looking and enjoys flaunting it.. to a degree.

So why is he suddenly doubting the fact that you could ever want someone like him?

Tohma has been there with you through it all, he's seen you at your worst, and knows you've seen him there too. You've been loyal to each other as long as he can remember, from the time you were small children.

So why is it that he's so terrified he's about to ruin a bond he can never mend?

He sits alone in his car, a bouquet resting at his side. He chose the arrangement himself; it's filled with your favorite colors. He's got chocolates, but those are probably melting right now. Is this overkill? What if things go wrong? What if it's never the same?

But every time he sees you laugh his heart sinks, longing to pull your face towards his and describe just how much he loves you. He wants to be with you all the time, to grow and change with you. He already knows you like the back of his hand, but he wants to know more. He can't stand it when you tell him he's the 'best friend a person could have' or wag your finger in his face and tell him 'That's what friends are for'. He doesn't want to be friends. But he doesn't want to lose you.

So, he drives away. He places the chocolates in the fridge, and the flowers in a vase. Maybe next time.

This is my zonai oc, Tohma! She was once an oracle of Rauru and Sonia before the events of TOTK. She went mad after seeing the fate of the kingdom through her visions multiple times with no sign of change. She eventually ran away after a misunderstanding between her and the royal court, becoming a hermit in the process.

More information about her is down below! Warning for spoilers for TOTK. It's also a lengthy read.

Gender: Female

Age: 27 (in hylian years)

Height: 7'0"

Personality: Humble, Nervous, Confident (to an extent), Jumpy, Easygoing, Mischievous

Secret stone: Stone of Future Sight (Symbol based on the kanji meaning "see")

General info: Running away from a broken home, Tohma grew up in the wilderness of Hyrule (before it became established as Hyrule). Tohma was born with the ability to see into the future. At a young age, she saw misty visions of zonai falling one by one, along with other small instances that made her jittery. Despite of that, she did her best to keep her head up high, even if things looked grim.

As an adult, she believed she was the last of her kind and wandered around different locations to make what she could with her life. Eventually, she was found by Rauru and Sonia and the two took her to their castle. She joined their royal court as their oracle. Along with becoming an oracle, she was given a stone of her own, and it helped amplify her visions.

However, when Tohma looked into the future with the stone in hand, she saw the fall of the kingdom. Terrified, she immediately notified the couple of the kingdom's fall and started to look into other futures/solutions to deter the outcome. She became obsessed with changing the future, to the point her mental health took a heavy toll and she became a hazard to everyone. At one point, an intervention for Tohma was to be held, but she ran away before it ever happened. In her paranoid state, she took this as a sign they were going to lock her away. She became a hermit in her final years, waiting and praying that her visions never come true (sadly, they did).

Abilities

Future Vision:

Her visions were almost a guarantee. There was always a slim chance of the outcome being different, which tend to give Tohma some hope for a different outcome.

Thanks to the stone, she could see years into the future and get a better general estimate in when they will happen

She uses her visions in combat, making it easier to dodge/plan attacks. However, due to these being a quick insight, they are not as accurate as putting her full focus into a vision. It was used to have a general feel and idea of what may happen/what is to come during a fight.

Her third eye opens whenever she looks into the future.

Puppetry:

Along with her future vision, Tohma also had a puppetry ability. She was more attuned to her visions than her puppetry, hence not being affected by her stone. Her puppetry was zonai magic based.

With her puppetry ability, she was able to pull and throw small objects towards her or anyone and control constructs. Because this ability wasn't amplified, the ability required full body involvement when used on a construct (when she moves, the construct in her control copies her exact movement. Ex: if she points with her right hand, the construct's right hand does the same)

This ability can also work on disembodies zonai parts and can act as extra set of limbs

Her hands would glow a bright teal color (like Rauru's) whenever this ability was in use. Small zonai runes would appear next to the object being controlled. these runes would look like strings and would fade out as they went towards Tohma (on a construct, each body part would have a "string")

Notes:

She ran away with her stone. At some point, she avoided using it and seeing into the future as much as possible, seeing her future sight as a curse.

Tohma puppetry ability was found out by Mineru when looking out a window and seeing/hearing a steward construct in distress from Tohma controlling it. From there, Mineru would make a battle construct for Tohma to use her ability on. (design is a WIP for now)

Before her puppetry ability was found out, she would secretly mess with the constructs, dancing with them

Despite being an the royal court's Oracle, Tohma had experience in combat. It was mainly used for self defense or when needed. Her weapons of choice would be her fists, legs, and zonai spear. She would also use her construct in combat.

Her confidence is mainly a façade to keep herself from spiraling into anxiety/from losing hope. Basically a "fake it till you make it" type of deal.

She eventually dies from a broken heart, becoming a spirit who constantly weeps and morns for the kingdom.

An alternative ending for her is after the Imprisoning War, she falls into a chasm and swallows her stone, not wanting to live with the memories and visions that haunt her. She becomes a dragon that roams solely in the depths below.

As a hermit, her voice becomes raspy from constantly crying and screaming.

She tends to shoo off any unwanted visitors as a hermit but should one attempt to stay, she would let them

In her loneliness, she would control a broken construct and have "conversations" with it

marriage (thoma n reader)

hi oh also i made ayato a villain MUWHAHAHHAHAHA

(fem reader!)

Your wedding is grand and gorgeous. It's picture-perfect, movie-like, and happily expected by the Inazuma residents. You look at the view in front of you, the most gorgeous place in the whole Teyvat. From mountains to villages, from forests to the ocean. Everything was perfect, how could you be so upset on the biggest day of your life?

You were getting married to a "kind-hearted", family-oriented, and helpful man. What else could you ask for? All those ladies, wishing and praying that it was them who was getting married to your future husband. He was praised by all the land.

"Madam, you have a guest." A lady helper says as she asks for your approval. "Let them in" You silently speak, energy lost. She nods, letting the guest in.

It's him.

"Thoma!" Your eyes widen, running toward the man in front of you. He smiles, opening his arms, ready to embrace your hug. He picks you up and twirls you around.

"I missed you, so much." You smile at him, tears ready to appear. "Why aren't you dressed? You should get ready, it's starting soon!" You rub his arms. "I-I... I'm not attending." He says, visibly upset.

"Why?" "I'm leaving" "Where are you going?" "Home."

You breathe deeply. "Why can't you stay, just for a little while? Just until the wedding's over and I can bring you to the dock. Just for a final goodbye!" You hurriedly suggest. He's avoiding eye contact, and you can tell he's trying his best not to cry. Not on your big day. He would never ruin a day this big, especially if it's yours.

"I-... I can't. I have to go, now. This is the last boat that's going back to Mondstadt." He insists, but you still try your best. "Then you can leave after the wedding! It's just a few hours long, waiting isn't that hard!" You whine out.

"Please, {name}. I have to." He takes your hands, nearly begging for this misunderstanding to end. "W-Why are you leaving?" you ask him, shaking softly.

"He wants me gone." He spoke, tears running down his pink cheeks. "Who?" "Ayato".

What?

You couldn't believe it. Your future husband, wanting your best friend gone? "Why?!" You nearly shout in disbelief. "He says we're too close, and that I'm going to ruin the marriage. He wants me gone from your life. The other commissions thought so too." He mumbled, a complete utter breakdown waiting to happen.

But-? He's the most trusted housekeeper of the Kamisato Clan and Yashiro Commission! How dare they kick him out?! You never wanted to marry Ayato in the first place, you were just there to "show support to his family". Even Ayaka knew what this "marriage" really was. But without Ayato by your side, you were nothing but a moraless woman who'd achieve nothing in life. You knew Ayato would never let you leave Inazuma, for the fear of his own reputation being ruined. Arrange marriages were the worst for you, but you couldn't go against it. You knew you'd spend your last living days just looking out the window of the estate, wishing you could change all those wrong things you did before.

You loved Thoma with all your heart, and you were off better with him by your side. Not as a lover, but as a best friend, a part of your family, and a shoulder you could cry on.

He blinked slowly as his eyes were drenched with tears and his head hanging lowly. "I'm sorry, Thoma. I never-" He cut you off before you could fully finish. "Don't worry, it's not your fault." You cry in his arms.

"Remember to take care of yourself, okay? Take care of Ayato and Ayaka too. They'll be your family now." He smiled like nothing had happened. You cried even harder. You were unable to deny his wishes so you complied. A nod is what you gave him before speaking some of the final words of your relationship with him.

"I will, Thoma, I will."

He touched his forehead with yours, tears running down your faces like the leaves outside your balcony. They're falling smoothly, the wind caressing each side letting out a quiet whistle.

"I love you." "I love you too."

He separated the bond between you two and walked toward the door of your room. He looked back before you ran to hug him one last time. He kissed your forehead before fully exiting the room and disappearing into the vast world you were never allowed to enter.

hi guys what do we feel about this 🤨 anyway #stayemo

Drama

Pairing: Thoma x reader

Warning: Drama, Angst, Heartbroken thoma

A/n: I apologise is advance for what you are about to read. I’m sorry this took so long! I Had to write 2 posts today to meet up. thank you @chxnniko @dmlarchives @nayyyomi @azr3lle @shin-o-gems for your comments and quote retweets! It’s finally here!

UID: 627473190

Part 1

Originally written by @dogloveri23

Many things go in a good book or story. One that you used frequently was drama. You couldn't be any more different from your characters. You often pushed emotions to their peaks and yet you never thought you'd feel like the characters whose very life you'd played with. The key to writing a decent drama for you was to put yourself in your character's shoes. But it was too much for you. Your feelings were getting the better of you and all you could do was try to get away from it all. Focus on yourself and get through this. The jealousy, the doubt, the disappointment, all of it!

The Grand Narukami Shrine was peaceful like usual. A few kitsune and some shrine maidens going about their day. Though Guji Yae was not yet back to the shrine, you sat atop a few stairs in the shrine away from the rain but enough to take in the view of Inazuma city which was currently experiencing rainfall. Everything was calming except for the shaking from your body both from crying and from cold. When you had left the Kamisato estate, people called for you and yet no one came after you. If not anyone, then at least Thoma should have. In his defence, the rain showed no mercy to anyone, not even you!

"My, my if you're going to show up at the shrine, at least help around? The maidens could use an extra pair of hands. It might take your mind off what bothers you. I must say I do not enjoy looking at you with pity", Yae said helping you up and walking you into the shrine. "Before you make any big decision, I would advise you to think carefully. this matter is very delicate. The vision hunt decree ended not long ago and the boy needs a little bit of time to get back into it", Yae said as she walked with you to the sakura tree in the shrine. You hadn't said anything back yet, much to Yae's surprise, things were quiet which is unlike you.

" I understand and yet, I still remain upset! He admitted that he chose to spend his free time with Lumine instead of showing up for our date! I waited 3 hours and got nothing but an excuse. I made up scenarios in my head, giving myself excuses on why he wouldn't show up and yet his reason wasn't nearly enough. I don't know Yae, I just have to sleep on it and maybe stay away from him till I get over it", you say sadly. "And who knows, it might make for a good book!" You say trying to lighten the mood, laughing bitterly at yourself. Yae sighed as she pondered what she could say but settled on silence. None of this was your fault and you weren't at all acting out of line. When the sunset, you bid your goodbyes to Yae, and you headed home avoiding the Kamisato estate.

Upon reaching your home, you were met with Thoma at your doorstep. "My love! Where were you? I searched everywhere but I couldn't find you, are you ok?", Thoma asked. "I'll be ok when you leave my house", you said with malice dripping from your voice. Thoma was taken aback! he had never heard you speak to anyone like that before. "I just want to explain what happened and then after I'll leave if you don't want me here", Thoma said worriedly. "You already had your chance to explain. At the Kamisato Estate remember? 'I was with Lumine while I left you at our agreed date spot for 3 hours!'", You say coldly. "Let's go inside. The rain is pouring, you're going to catch a cold" Thoma said as he rushed over to you trying to gain control of the whole situation. As he reached for you, you moved back. At that moment, Thoma looked dejected, he didn't know what to do! Fights had never gotten this serious before! Both of your emotions were heightened.

Time seemed to stop as neither of you had moved and your bodies were continuously being beaten by the rain. "Leave Thoma, I need to be alone", You said as you walked past him and made your way into your house. Thoma hadn't moved still. he was frozen in his spot, his green eyes looked dead. You were pissed, he had done it this time. Had he been cancelling and missing dates too frequently? Were you done with him? He had been blowing you off for someone who wasn't even his partner! He had to make this right, he could die on your porch trying for all he cared.

You looked out of your window and watched Thoma's shoulders droop in defeat. You sat on the floor with your head in your hands, the guilt overtaking you. You heard a few gentle knocks on your door. "Babe, can we talk, please?" Thoma said meekly with a crack in his voice. You get up, slowly open the door and look at him. He had tear-stained cheeks, was dripping wet, and eyes that slowly regained their shine as you opened the door.

" I was hanging out with Lumine and lost track of time! She was trying to distract me because I was about to work on my off day. I was told really late yesterday that today was a free day. I had planned to tell you during the date, but while Lumine tried to keep me company, I heard Lord Ayato was home and a servant was sick. I had planned to cover for her so she could rest. I know that I haven't been the best boyfriend and I should have told you ahead of time, I-", Thoma stuttered but interrupted when you dragged him by his collar so he could be face to face with you. He had shaky breaths and was struggling to even form a sentence. "I'm sorry, I thought you were blowing me off. You've been so busy, I thought you were avoiding me", You say before placing your lips on his. Thoma relaxed, his frantic breaths settled, his mind numbed and he closed his eyes, focusing only on enjoying the time with you. At a point, you both forgot why you were quarrelling in the first place.

Thoma's hand found its way to your hips while the other was on your chin deepening the kiss. Thoma reluctantly pulled away, his hands not leaving their positions. At much as I'm enjoying this, my love, I would prefer if we got changed. We'll catch a cold if we stay like this. "Ugh, why do you have to ruin the moment", you playfully complained. "We'll pick things back up when we're in warm dry clothes", The says giving you a small peck before dragging you into your home. The whole thing was too much for you, for either of you. You were just happy things were back to normal. You weren't built for drama, maybe you should slow things down for your characters as well.
