Venti x gn!reader
Genre: Fluff!
Word count: ~1k
Warnings: Alcohol mention
Summary:  His fingers twitch only for a quick moment, which would likely not have been very noticeable had you not been so familiar with the way Venti plays. Still, you notice.
Tumblr media
As you finish brushing the dirt off your foraged mushrooms and carrots, your eyes drift over to your companion, sitting on a tree stump in the forest clearing. The sunlight catches his relaxed features perfectly as he carefully examines the string of his bow, making sure it wasn’t getting too loose. You pack up your bag, get up from the forest floor and make your way back over to him. He gives you a quick glance, the corners of his mouth curling up into a smile at the sight of you without him really thinking too hard about it.
“Done already?” Venti asks, getting up from his spot as well. The bow in his hands dissipates as he stores it away. It still puzzles you how vision holders can do that…
“Yep. I just have to wash all these when we get home.” You gesture to your bag, as you show him today’s findings. “Not many people come all the way out here. It didn’t take long to fill my bag.”
Venti laughs, putting a hand on your shoulder as he follows you back toward the path leading back to the city.
“Well, lucky us! Between everything we’ve gathered and the fine wines I brought along, I dare claim tonight’s dinner will be absolutely delectable!”
You nod absentmindedly, thinking of how to best prepare the vegetables once you get home. The soft crunch of your shoes on the gravelly path forms a sort of rhythm that you try to keep up as you walk, the chattering of birds and rustle of leaves becoming a nice backdrop as you listen to Venti going on about all sorts of things, occasionally offering your input. Before long, the two of you have made it back to your home.
While you prepare the ingredients for cooking, Venti sits in the living room, playing a few calming melodies on his lyre. As he plucks away at the strings, forming the most beautiful of tunes, you can’t help but listen, nearly losing all focus on your current task as you momentarily lose yourself in his enchanting compositions. The seamless flow of notes stalls for naught but a quick second, before picking up right where it left off. As you continue cutting up the ingredients and adding them to the pan, you wonder what could have caused him to stutter like that… Venti practically never hesitates when playing the lyre, even when he’s just practicing. Suddenly, you hear a quiet groan from the other room, as the music once again stalls for a moment. You add a splash of wine to the pan before reducing the heat and placing a lid on top, allowing it to simmer for a while as you step out of the kitchen.
When you enter the living room and find the source of the inconsistent song, you decide to observe him for a moment before interjecting. His brows are tightly knit together as if in deep concentration as he’s practically bent over the lyre in his hands, meticulously strumming out an old melody. His fingers twitch only for a quick moment, which would likely not have been very noticeable had you not been so familiar with the way Venti plays. Still, you notice. And it seems he is agonizing over it as well. He lets out an irritated sigh as he places the lyre down in defeat for now. Only then does he seem to notice you leaning against the doorframe, observing him.
“Oh, sorry. Were you listening? I can keep playing for you if you wish.” Venti reaches over towards the lyre again. His smile holds a grain of hesitation, one that you have gotten really good at noticing over the years. You often have to pry information like this out of him, things he neglected or ignored for himself. Without replying, you just walk over to him, and sit down next to him on the sofa. His somewhat confused expression quickly turns to a downcast one as you gently take his hands into your own.
“Ah…”
He sighs quietly. You study his expression. His deep blue and green eyes are avoiding your own gaze, his lips slightly parted as he struggles to come up with anything else to say. He knows he can't hide anything from you.
“Venti… you’ve been practicing an awful lot lately.” You softly tilt his chin up to make him look at you, as you offer him a calming smile. With your free hand, you gently rub calming circles into the palm of his hand.
“I… Yeah, maybe. Hehe…” Venti’s sheepish smile and nervous giggle makes you want to laugh a bit as well. He’s normally rather hard to read for most people, so he doesn’t really know how to handle how effortlessly you see through his facade. He doesn’t really notice how much he lets his guard down when you two are alone together either.
“Here, let me help.”
You grab onto his dominant hand with both of yours, gently applying pressure to the base of his fingers. You delicately rub his joints in circular motions, before continuing the gesture toward the palm of his hand. You remember to make sure to give the same attention to  both sides as you go. Venti is uncharacteristically quiet as you work, his eyes fixating on your delicate expression.
He is often told he can be a bit more trouble than most people are willing to put up with, but somehow, he never feels that way around you. You’ve always taken time out of your day to talk to him, inviting him along to menial tasks, listening to his ramblings, his poems, his songs…
And right now, as you so tenderly massage his aching muscles that he strained trying to write you a song as a thank you gift, he can no longer excuse the way heat rises to his cheeks or the way his heart beats ever so slightly faster around you. 
Right now, sitting opposite of you as your gentle hands massage his own, he realizes he’s fallen for you.

Kaeya, venti and Kazuha x figure skater! Gn! Reader
・*:..。o Warnings: dangerous sport (?) mentions of injury, badly written, bad grammar, inaccurate kaeya
✽・:..。 Notes: sorry for not keeping up with my requests!! might be less frequent now school started again, sorry this is short. Love you all have a good day ❄⛄
Tumblr media
♡ - Kaeya
Kaeya had never seen such a beautiful person as yourself; you look like a dove as you glide across the ice on your skates. He was utterly infatuated with your talent , you never failed to impress him with your skill.
He was actually quite shy to talk to you first. He only simply admired you from afar before he had the courage to approach you with a bouquet of flowers and sickeningly sweet words ready to spill.
- Kaeya is happy to recieve any wishes from you. Such as you need a new pair of skates or an appropriate outfit, he always is ready to buy you whatever you need when you want it.
- he watches you most of the time during his breaks when the ice has frozen over a pond in dragonspine, he will walk all the way over there just to watch you jump and twirl and around.
- Kaeya welcomes you home with a hug after you've been out in the cold for a while, despite his cryo vision he can be very warm. He knows your legs and feet probably hurt like hell from all the training and work, so he tries his absolute best to take care of you by running a hot bath and preparing a snack.
- talks about you a lot to jean and Mika at work, won't stop rambling honestly. Cute compliments fall out of his mouth as the mention of your name because he can't help but praise you for your gorgeous performances.
♡ - Venti
Venti had adored you for the longest time. He felt like you were like his little secret when he watched you twirl on the ice. almost as if your performance was just for him. He didn't really have much to offer except his love and affection.
He was absolutely delighted on that cold evening when you accepted his obvious feelings for you.
- your ventis biggest inspiration! He sings in the tavers about and occasionally writes poetry dedicated to you and only you as well. He just can't stop giggling and kicking his feet whenever someone asks him about you.
"i know right? they're so cool!"
He almost definitely could talk about if for hours but the poor person who asked would be falling asleep on the floor!
- venti of course does worry though. He worries that you might slip and fall, or the ice beneath you cracks and you plunge into the frigid water below. Sometimes he begs you not to go alone when he may be too busy to watch you.
- he sends a warm breeze your way so you don't completely freeze whilst skating out in the cold. It probably doesn't help because you're already sweaty and hot from all the movement.
♡ - Kazuha
Kazuha loved gentle, elegant things. That's why you attracted his attention so much, you were gorgeous to him in every way. You both fell for each other slowly, every day he'd glance at you as your skates scraped against the ice.
- watching you perform is a daily habbit. his admiration for you was soft, like he craved your attention but didn't want to smother you too much.
- he takes care of any cuts or aches you may have after hardcore training. Kazuha makes sure to touch you as light as he can with his bandaged fingers; carefully gliding over your skin as he patches you up.
- lets you fall asleep on his lap when you come home tired. His lap is warm, and his hand is soft as it ruffles your hair and the melody he is humming is quiet and tranquil.
Tumblr media
Please do not share my work anywhere, thank you.

A Comforting Touch
Character(s): Venti x gn reader Tags: Modern au , comfort , established relationship , very light comedy sprinkled in (like super light) Warnings: mention of a panic attack (no in-depth writing about it) , semi-proofread Words: 961 Notes: a comfort fic inspired by my own suffering. may it give comfort to some of you as well <3
•○▬
A horrible day is what you called today. Nothing had gone as planned and somehow as the day progressed forward it got worse. You’ve shed tears, fumed in rage that your face felt as hot as the boiling blood in your body to nearly collapsing in on yourself as you were on the brink of a panic attack. It was all too much for you to handle.
You lay on your bed, feeling like a husk as you stared at your phone screen, hugging your favorite plush to your chest. An attempt at trying to distract yourself from the day’s events and your thoughts. To distract yourself from the physical ache of your heart in your chest and the sobs that lodged themselves in your throat because you refuse to cry again. Scrolling through social media, looking at the different images or videos that appeared along your feed.
A knock on your bedroom door, stirred you from your tunnel vision o your phone and the comfortable position you had gotten yourself into. You didn’t want to talk or see anyone at the moment… You looked at your door, weariness pulling at you as you sat up. “Come in,” your voice came out soft and you thought you would have to repeat yourself, but the sight of your door opening eased that sudden worry.
A head full of black hair and blue faded twin braids popped in from the side of the slightly opened door. His eyes meet yours and a small, soft smile spread on his lip, “Well, hello there.”
You look at him for a moment, clogs turning in your brain. Why is Venti here? The image of your flatmate, Lumine, popping into your mind’s eye. She probably told him about the day you’ve had, probably even insisted on him coming over after you “locked” yourself away in your room. You let out a sigh, “Lumine invited you over, didn’t she?”
Venti slowly enters the room, as if trying to hide the fact that he’s entering and closing the door, as if he was a ninja of some kind. The thought briefly crossed your mind, amusing you slightly. He smiled nervously, eyes closing as he awkwardly scratched his cheek, “She did, yes.”
You shook your head, another sigh falling from your lips, “And I suppose she told you about everything that happened today?” You fiddled with the plushy you were previously hugging for comfort that now sat in your lap.
“Now that she didn’t do,” Venti stood in front of your now closed door, looking at you with eyes that seem to look into your very soul, “She only told me that you might appreciate my company after a rough day.”
You smiled slightly, thanking Lumine for her ability to keep things hidden when she deems them worth keeping to herself. Although she could be quite the blunt and unpredictable friend, she was still considerate of you and others. She’s probably worried about you and knew of the thoughts and feelings that stirred awake inside of you when things get tough in your life.
You’re shaken from your thoughts by the slow movement of Venti taking a step towards you. His eyes searching yours for any indication you don’t want him there. “Would you rather I leave you be for now?” he asked. Although initially you did want to be alone…Venti’s presence was always a welcoming sight for you, and you knew Lumine took that into consideration. She knew that you wouldn’t be able to show him away and probably end up crying in his arms as he comforted you. Sneaky of her to use your weakness of your significant other to ensure you aren’t alone with your thoughts for too long.
You shook your head, “No…you can stay.”
Venti smiled gently at you, he walked over towards you with less caution, and you moved a little aside on your bed, giving him some space to sit down next to you. The bed dipped slightly as he sat down next to you, legs crossed as his body faced your slightly. “Wanna talk about what happened?” he asked softly. You shook your head, feeling the restrained sobs from earlier welling up in your throat again. “No…” your voice was soft, strained. You looked at your plush, continuing to fidget with it.
Venti nods understandingly next to you, his twin braids moving along with the movement. “Do you want a hug?” he asked after a moment. You stilled in your fidgeting with the plush, tears welling up in your eyes. “…Yes.” You whisper, your voice cracking.
That’s all it took for him to gently pull you towards him, although it took a bit of shuffling your sitting positions around, and held you close to him. You buried your face into the crook of his neck, more tears falling down your cheeks. His touch was gentle as he rubbed your back soothingly with one hand, the other holding you close to him. It took only his touch and a few gentle words for you to fully unravel in his embrace. Your tears now accompanied with the sobs you were trying to keep inside minutes earlier. Your own hands wrapped around him, clutching at his clothes as you cried.
He stayed there as you cried in his arms, whispering sweet nothings into your ear, sometimes turning his head slightly to plant gentle kisses to your head. His soothing touch helping to keep your grounded.
After some time, you calmed down, your breathing slowing, and your hands loosened around him. He tried looking down at you, seeing you had fallen asleep soon after you stopped crying. He smiled softly at you, planting a soft kiss on your head before whispering a soft goodnight to you.

Cheater! Diluc x gn! Reader (Reader x venti?)
TW: Cheating, Mature Language, Diluc hurts reader, abusive relationship, just angst with some fluff at the end
Summary: Diluc comes home late yet again with the same excuse. You are tired of him lying to you and decide to go to your friend venti for the night but Diluc seems to have a problem with that.
This is my first fanfic I’ve written hope you enjoy it <<33
Tumblr media
Diluc comes home late again.
“Where have you been?” You asked.
"Out. With my colleagues. Just out." Diluc looks away, unable to meet your eyes.
“Oh…alright” You nodded suspiciously.
This is the 5th time he’s come home late. Your starting to think that he had been seeing someone behind your back but you didn’t want to bring anything up yet.
"Why? Jealous?" Diluc's voice is mockingly sing-song, dripping in mirth.
“Why would I be jealous? Do I have a reason to be?” You asked curiously
"Nah. You're fine. You're fine." Diluc smiles, but it isn't really a smile. It's creepy and unnerving, and it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
“Okay then….” You say a little uneasy. He’s been acting weird for the past few days, coming home reeking off alcohol. You just thought it was because he worked at a winery that he would come home smelling like wine but it started getting worse. He came home one night absolutely wasted and when you asked him about it he beat you. It was the first time he ever did something like that to you…
“I should head to bed. It’s late.” Diluc’s gaze is on you the entire time; he feels dangerous and threatening and it makes your gut sink.
Your heart beats quickly, and your unable to relax. You want an explanation, but he’s not giving you a straight answer, and your just uncomfortable in his presence. You decide to go to your friends Venti’s house. Venti has always been with you when you and Diluc had arguments, you both knew each other for a long time and your one of the few people who know about his archon secret.
“I think I’m gonna stay at venti’s house for the night.” You say out loud wanting Diluc to hear you.
“You’re what now?” Diluc has his brow raised in a mixture of confusion and offense at the news. His eyes narrowed and his voice is sharp and cutting.
“Why would you want to do something so foolish? I’m here. I’m not going anywhere aren’t I?”
He leans in and you can smell alcohol in his breath. The smell is harsh and sour, it makes you scrunch your face in distaste.
“Umm…well I promised him I’ll go over to hang out since I haven’t seen him in a while..” You said while looking down at the ground, to afraid to meet his gaze
"...Hmmm." Diluc's tone is skeptical, and there is a hint of suspicion in his voice.
"You wouldn't be cheating on me, would you?" He says, arching a brow. “No one would blame you if you did, but I'd appreciate an explanation." His voice is sharp like it was before, and he stares at you intensely.
“There’s nothing going on with me and venti…and plus you come home late almost every night why are you so concerned?”
"..." He pauses, and for a moment, just a moment, he looks guilty. But it quickly goes away, replaced by a smirk. He laughs, and it is not a happy laugh. It's condescending, cold, and dark, and you feel like something has just gone horribly, horribly wrong.
"I thought so. You're no better than any of those other thristy whores after all. I should have known." His voice is cold, and he leans in closer. He grins at you, and it is not a grin of joy or of mirth; it is a cruel, mocking smile.
Your eyes widen at his words, “what are you talking about Diluc?”
"You're just like all the other whores in this damned city. You'd do anything and everything to get something out of someone else." His eyes are hard, and he steps even closer. Your back is to the wall as he leans in, and his voice is dangerously low, a furious undertone lacing every one of his words.
"A cheat. A seducer, I should've known; you're just a cheap whore." He pauses, and he scoffs at the thought. The utter disgust in his voice is palpable.
“I told you I’m not cheating on you!! What makes you think that!!?!?!!” You say now pissed off at his words. Why is he saying all this?
“If anything I should be the one assuming your cheating on me!!”
You stare each other down, and something finally snaps within you; something finally breaks beneath all the weight. All that frustration, all that hurt and anger that had been building and building and building...it all comes out at once.
"...You son of a--"
You lash out without warning and slap your boyfriend. His eyes go wide, and he stumbles back, shocked and surprised at the hit. His face is hard, his eyes are narrowed, and his jaw is clenched. What do you do now?
“You come home late every night. You never answered my calls or messages, and you always come home with the same stupid story!!” You yell at him “And then you try to say I’m cheating on you just cause I want to hang out with a friend???”
He looks stunned and taken aback by your tone, but he also looks angry and offended, like you have said the most offensive and blasphemous thing to ever cross his mind. He's angry, and he's hurt, and he points a finger in your face, and you feel a wave of fear and apprehension wash over you.
"How dare you."
He leans in, and you swear he's about to hit you. There's this animalistic, savage sort of rage in his eyes, and you can't help but fear him at his present state.
You flinched at his expression, he looked mad as hell
"Don't you speak to me that way."
He grabs your shoulders, and you gasp in shock and surprise, feeling the coldness of his skin on your own.
He stares you down, and the look in his eyes leaves you scared and confused.
"You should know your place."
“W-why are you acting like this?”
“Like what?”
He glared at you and squeezes his hands into fists at his sides. You can hear a low, deep growling coming from his throat, and for a split second, it sounds almost animalistic and primal.
“Don’t you EVER speak to me that way! Don’t you EVER question my actions!”
He grabs your wrists forcefully, and when his eyes meet yours, you feel an icy chill that makes you shake from head to toe.
It’s as if he’s looking at you with utter contempt.
Your mind goes wild as you build up the courage to blurt out..
“I KNOW YOUR CHEATING ON ME YOU STUPID BASTARD”
He lets out a low growl, like that of an angered animal. He seems like a completely different person in this moment, a completely cold and inhuman sort of savage.
"How dare you," he rasps, his voice is cold, harsh and terrifying, his tone is mocking and sharp, and his eyes are filled with the blackest sort of contempt you have ever seen in a person.
"I swear I'm going to make you regret this. You'll regret ever speaking to me like that." He glares, and he squeezes your wrist so hard it starts to hurt.
You struggle against his grip, “LET ME GO M*THERFUCKER!”
He's strong, he does not let you break free, not even for a second. He twists your wrist painfully, and he raises his other hand, raising his arm to strike you across the face.
"I should beat some decency into you!" He cries, and he sounds absolutely furious, absolutely insane.
You scream from the pain , “STOP IT!!”
“WHY SHOULD I!?!!?! YOU DESERVE THIS YOU BRAT!!”
He screams, his voice high and shrill in contrast with all his previous rasping whispers. You swear he sounds like a madman as he continues to twist your arm.
His anger has escalated to a point past understanding. He lets go of your wrist and balls his fist. You can hear the sound of his knuckles cracking under the pressure, and when he goes to punch you, you duck as quick as you can.
You kick him as hard as you can in his leg and make a run for it. He cries out in pain as you escape from the situation and dash for venti’s house.
You arrive at Venti's house with a pounding heart, tears streaming down your cheeks, but you're finally safe.
At least, you think, you are safe.
But then, your phone goes off. You're afraid to check it, but you grab your phone out, and your heart sinks as your palm begins to sweat.
It's Diluc's number, and he's calling you.
What do you do?
You decline the phone call immediately and knock on venti’s door.
"Huh? Oh, it's you."
Venti opens the door, his usual cheery self, a smile spread across his face as he looks down at you. His eyes go wide, though, as he notices how disheveled and upset you are, that you're crying and out of breath.
"What happened?" He looks concerned, stepping aside and opening the doors for you to come inside. "Did something happen with Diluc?"
“Quick lock the door!” You say as you rush inside.
"O-okay."
Venti shuts the door behind you, and he quickly finds the key and locks the doors. He turns back to you, confusion and concern mixed on his face.
"W-what happened? Did Diluc hurt you?"
“He’s gone insane venti! Just because I found out he was cheating on me and I confronted him…he hurt me venti!!” You cried
"N-No way..." Venti's eyebrows furrow, and he looks at you with worry and concern. You can feel his warm gaze as he looks down at you. His eyes are soft and kind and comforting, and you can't help but let out tears at the simple show of affection and compassion.
"Are you okay?" "You're safe here," he says, and it's clear that he means every word of it.
“I don’t want to be with him anymore..I can’t keep letting him do this to me. Every night he comes home late and always comes home with the same stupid story. It’s like he doesn’t care about our relationship anymore..”
"He...he comes home late every night?" Venti tilts his head, a puzzled look on his face. He looks down at you, his head tilting to the side. His eyes are warm as he stares down at you, and before you know it, he pulls you into a hug; it's comforting and it's warm.
"Come Here," he says, his arms holding you gently but firmly, and you feel like you're going to just melt."I'm sorry that happened to you. You didn't deserve that.”
You hug him back “What should I do venti?”
He pulls away and looks down at you seriously, a thoughtful expression on his face. And then, his face softens, and he gives you the faintest hint of a smile.
"I think..." He takes your hands in his own. "I think it's time for you to leave him."
The look in Venti's eyes is soft. He's looking at you with the utmost compassion and care. You can tell he truly, truly means what he is saying. And then you realize...he's been there for you more than Diluc ever was.
“But he’s not gonna let me go that easily..it’s like he’s a predator looking for his runaway prey, like something went loose in his head..”
Venti looks troubled, and once his words sink in, he bites his lip in thought.
"That... That's a problem. Are you sure you don't have a way out of this?" He looks at you with a pained expression, his eyebrows furrowed in concern. He's not just thinking about your feelings; he's thinking about your safety, and he's wondering how you can make a clean break from this, how you can rid yourself of Diluc's presence, of the threat of his rage and the potential for violence.
“He literally almost tried to kill me venti!”
You sighed “,He got mad at me when I mentioned going to your house….like he was jealous…but he has no right to be jealous when he’s the one cheating!”
Venti is silent for a moment, and then, he nods, as if he finally made up his mind.
"You need help to get away from him." He says, and he stops holding your hands in his, and he looks at you with a determined expression. "I'll come with you to his house. We'll pack up your things, we'll get you out of there, and then maybe you could come to stay with me for a while, until everything blows over. I won't let anything happen to you."
“Isn’t that too risky? I’ll just buy everything back-“
"No, no, it'll be okay." Venti takes your hands in his own again, and then he gives a reassuring smile that you can't help but return, no matter how much your heart feels like a rock in your chest.
"Look...I'll... I'll be with you. Diluc is going to know I'm there. It'll be okay." He offers this with a reassuring nod of his head, and he smiles once more.
You trust him. You can't help but feel like he'll keep you safe.
“Alright…”
"Good."
Venti smiles, letting out a small sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry you had to go through all of that today. You deserve so much better. I'm glad you came to me."
It's strange, isn't it? But somehow, he's never done you wrong; he's never hurt you. And yet...you're so scared of the idea of seeing your boyfriend again. It's an odd feeling, isn't it?
“I trust you venti. You really care about me so much, I appreciate that a lot.”
"That's whyI'm here, for you." He gives a reassuring nod, and he smiles at you. It's a tender smile, a reassuring smile, and it's a reminder that you're in good hands, that you're safe.
"We'll get you out of there. We'll make sure you're safe, okay?" He takes your hands in his own, holding them warmly, and the feeling is reassuring. There is so much warmth coming from his touch, and you can't help but let your heart slow down even just a little bit.
“Okay”
For a moment, he looks serious and determined, his eyes looking straight into yours, and you can feel a quiet kindness in them. It's almost like he's going to fight the whole world on your behalf, and you're glad that he's on your side; he's got your back, he's there for you.
“No matter what, I'll help you, okay?" He asks, a sincere, comforting expression on his face. You feel a tiny bit less lonely and a little bit warmer with him around.
“Thank you venti..” You say as you smile at him softly.
"Of course." All of a sudden, his tone switches, and his whole demeanor changes; his face hardens into a mask of indifference. His voice sounds cold again, and it's as if the Venti you know is gone, and in his place, he's replaced with a cruel, callous, and calculating man.
"Come on," he says, and he pulls you out of the house.
He walks you back to Diluc's house with no further explanation needed nor spoken. He opens the door and lets you go inside.
"Let's pack up everything, okay?"
“Okay…” You are a little scared of what is bound to happen if you stay in the house for too long.
"Are you going to be okay?"
He asks, a genuine question, a concerned look in his eyes. His voice is soft, comforting and warm, and you can't help but feel a sense of security when he looks at you like this, like he cares for you. You feel safe when he's with you.
If only you could feel this level of security with your boyfriend, but it's clear that Diluc is no longer someone you can count on. You're lucky to have Venti, who you know will keep you safe no matter what.
“Yeah…”
"Let's get your things then," Venti says, and he holds out his arm for you to hold, his eyes soft and his tone gentle and warm. He's looking at you with an understanding and compassionate expression as if saying, “It's going to be okay. You will be okay. I'm here for you."
He lets out a deep sigh, and he smiles kindly. You trust him, and you take his hand, and the two of you head into the house.
As you walk into the house you look around. The house looks horrible, it looks like Diluc went ballistic after you left and destroyed the place…
"Oh my god..."
You can't help but feel shocked and horrified by the sight of Diluc's house; it looks like a hurricane just passed by. The coffee table looks smashed, the lamps look shattered, everything is in absolute disarray.
Venti seems horrified too, and he looks around in disbelief at the destruction. "What happened here...?" He looks at you with concern, but it's clear he's horrified by what he sees.
“He must’ve went on some type of rampage after I ran away…”
Venti hums in agreement and he shakes his head, his eyes filled with disbelief and disgust. He looks at you and nods gently, and a look of determination crosses his face.
It's clear that he wants to protect you so much, that he wants nothing more than to see you happy and free. And he's going to do everything in his power to make that happen. “Alright, let's get your things,"he says with a small nod. He looks at you with a small smile, and his eyes are so warm. You nod as you guys continue till you get to your shared room with Diluc. It was also destroyed, but it looks like he wasn’t at home right now. He probably went to go and look for you.
You pack up all your different things into a duffel bag you found in the closet. You saw a broken portrait of you and Diluc together when your relationship was actually stable, it made you want to cry. What went wrong with you two?
You continued to pack up all your valuable stuff. You took one last look at the destroyed room and sighed.
“Lets go venti.”
Venti nods as you both travel outside the house. You sigh a breath of relief, “I won’t be going back there any time soon..”
"You won't have to,"Venti nods, his voice gentle. “You'll be with me now. And I promise, you'll be safe. This anemo archon will protect you.”
He smiles, a kind, sincere smile, and he looks at you like you're the world. What did you do to deserve this?
You smile, a genuine smile, and you nod. You are safe. You are free. Now, the only place you have to go is forward.

Hello!! It's my first time doing this, and I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. I really loved your venti x reader sagau where we take refuge in Monstadt instead of Liyue or Inazuma. I would like to ask, will there be more parts to that story?
Like what will happen if zhongli and Ei found out that the reader is staying in monstadt under venti’s protection?? and both of them are still under the impression that the reader is an impostor and is tricking venti?
i hope my ask does not annoy you feel free to ignore it if it does😣😣
Freedom's wings
Tumblr media
I've also gotten multiple requests about continuing the Venti storyline and boy oh boy it's time for that lil bard to have some spotlight time since Zhongli has dominated my blog...
PS You're not annoying me at all! Don't worry about it, I love getting requests
Part 1 HERE
Length: 2.38 words
cw: mention of past injury, m
Tumblr media
Gentle fingers plucked the strings of a lyre, weaving a soothing melody out of seemingly nothing. The highs and lows of the musical piece matching the unpredictability of a warm breeze - flowing through you like one during a hot summer day.
The chair - or rather throne, that you'd been seated upon, was plush, a warm coat of cotton and fabric covering the otherwise grandiose stone monument of grace, cushioning your tired form. You'd spent the day exploring the wilderness of Mondstadt with Venti and the knights on your tails, and it left a mark upon you - you were completely exhausted.
That was why you'd been eagerly dragged to sit upon the chair you'd at first deemed as entirely unnecessary, with the Archon of Wind sat at your feet.
You allowed a tired smile to tug at your lips weakly, taking in the sight of the youthful Archon, whose eyes were trained on you, awe sparkling within the lakes of his eyes. He had no need to glance at the strings dancing underneath his fingertips, the art mastered by him eons ago. All he needed to keep going despite the ache pooling into his fingers, was the sight of you - healthy and safe.
Kaeya and Rosaria were stationed at the door, watching the scene unfold with a fondness within their cold hearts. There was something soothing about your presence. And after what they'd learned of your treatment by the other nations, the knights and church of Favonius were weary to leave you alone - even if it was with their very own archon.
You suppressed a yawn behind a loose palm, your eyelids beginning to grow heavy as the warmth from the lit hearth ebbed and flowed into your joints, putting you more at ease. With a soft sigh, you began to nod off - the land of dreams reaching out its hand for you to graciously take.
When you awoke, you found yourself back in your lavish chambers. What awoke you, however, was something that raised concern within you. There was a barely hushed commotion building right outside your door - something that got the involved parties heated enough for you to hear the raised voices of Jean and Venti themselves.
That got you to your feet. Ignoring the coldness of the marbled floor, you followed the source, pausing as you heard silence suddenly befall the people crowded outside your door.
With a hesitant inhale, you reached out to open the door.
"Your Grace! Good morning!" Venti smiled in a strained manner, the cheerful tone of his voice clearly forced.
You frowned, your gaze flickering across the high ranking officials of Mondstadt, who had all coincidentally gathered right outside your door.
"What's going on?" you asked, anxiety bubbling up in your chest.
"There's a bit of a political problem," Jean was the first to admit.
You frowned, looking towards her to coax and answer out. Her stony blue gaze shifted aside, seeming to be in a wordless correspondence with the various captains of the knights.
Venti seemed to buckle underneath the weight of the situation, his shoulders slumping as though the tense air itself was weighing him down.
"We've received word from Liyue. And Inazuma," he started, looking pained as he attempted to get the words out. He seemed to dance around the subject in a manner similar to how his nimble fingers glided across the strings of a lyre.
"And...?" you asked, preparing for the worst. Even the names of the nations themselves sent chills down your spine, raising the hairs on the back of your neck as you relived phantom pain of the injuries their citizens had bestowed upon you.
"Well. The Liyue Qixing doesn't exactly believe us. That you are...well, the creator," Jean spoke up, seeming to sense the tenseness of the situation.
"Oh..." you muttered, shifting your gaze to the marbled blacks and whites of the floor beneath your feet, focusing on the coldness seeping into your frame from the soles of your feet over the creeping sense of dread threatening to overtake you.
"And the Shogun...well, she seems to agree," Venti added, a bitter edge to his tone as he fiddled with the embroidered hem of his shorts.
"I...see." was all you could manage to utter, shuffling around awkwardly as you wrapped your arms around yourself.
"Don't worry, your Grace! We'll keep you safe and sound here!" the archon exclaimed, straightening up his posture. You could feel the faint energy of a breeze emanate from him, leaving his little cape fluttering behind him proudly.
"Thank you, Venti."
You glanced at the other knights crowding your door.
"Thank you all."
However, things were not quite so easy. Political tensions were at an all time high. And it was only a matter of time before envoys of Liyue and Inazuma arrived at Mondstadt's door, pushing their way into your somewhat peaceful life.
"Your Grace, I advise you stay in your quarters today," Kaeya suggested, his whole form more tense and irritated than you'd ever seen before.
"Why?" was your automatic response, your gaze studying your surroundings.
"Rex Lapis and the Raiden Shogun are here today - and we'd rather not have you-"
"They're here?"
He nodded curtly.
"Lord Barbatos is currently dealing with them."
You shuddered.
"I...I need to see them."
"Your Grace?"
You straightened your form and conjured up your most convicting expression.
"I need to see them. I don't want Venti to deal with them on his own."
"Well, if that is truly what you want..."
You heard the sound of raised voices before you even saw anyone. Angry accusations flew across the hall and tensions were high. You could sense a faint earthy scent and an electric feel tingling in the air before you even set foot into the room.
"They're a fraud, simple and clear. I can't believe the anemo archon himself has deluded himself into believing their lies."
"Clearly he's grown much too foolish in his old age to make educated decisions. Such an archon is a danger to us all."
"You're the ones being foolish! You condemn an innocent for their resemblance to the Creator, when they are the creator you revere!" Venti defended himself, a fierce passion interwoven between his words. He seemed not to care about any insults aimed at him, but determined to fight for you til the bitter end.
You felt your blood boil as more and more accusations against yourself and Venti were thrown out.
Finally, you made your presence known - a sudden commanding aura emanating from yourself. You could feel the winds outside shift, picking up speed and strength as they raged against the glass windows surrounding the room.
"That's enough!" you exclaimed, stepping forward - your shoulders squared.
"Is it not enough to try and kill me - to tell me that my mere existence is a crime? You have to bring the only people who've been kind to me into this?"
You could sense heat pooling within your chest, blood coming to a simmer as you stared down the two who'd previously liberally berated Venti.
"The impostor dares to show their face. A brave move," Ei's commanding tone jeered, her cold lilac gaze landing upon you - sending a tingling jolt of fear across your spine.
"Brave indeed," Zhongli added, the golden glow of his gaze zoning in on you, a cold judgement burning within his sharp features.
Despite the warm sun having blazed outside mere moments before, there was an air of coldness hovering throughout the room, bleeding into every corner of it.
Your shoulders tensed, the injuries you'd been treating for weeks now, aching dully as though the mere presence of your previous tormentors was enough to pluck them apart and bring forth the pain once more.
"The imposter has made themselves comfortable here. Much too comfortable," Ei spoke once more, her fingers twitching as she reached towards her chest - eager to grip her weapon.
You flinched, taking a step back while your wide eyes searched the room for an escape.
Venti was quick to dash to your side, taking a protective stance before you as he conjured up his own bow before Ei could even draw her spear.
He strung it quickly, a cold glare glinting within his childlike eyes - for once looking like a true archon.
Zhongli's eyes narrowed at the display of hostility, being quick to pull out his own weapon, aiming it towards the two of you.
"Knights of Favonius!" Venti's voice boomed - something that was quickly followed by the large doors bursting open and said knights storming in - their own weapons gripped tight and visions casting a colourful glow across the room.
You shrunk into yourself, your gaze searching for an escape from this situation. The winds outside howled loudly in unison with your frightened heartbeat.
Tension arose quickly as the two opposing archons both had their weapons drawn. You could feel the walls closing in on yourself quickly, as did the wall of knights behind you. You felt compressed between the two opposing forces, Venti being your only anchor. The air seemed to vanish from your lungs, leaving you heaving for breath.
"I said it's enough!" you bellowed, curling in on yourself as you wrapped your arms around your frame, stumbling backwards and almost bumping into one of the guards stationed behind you.
Venti whipped around quickly, his brows furrowed as he studied your shaking frame.
There were two audible gasps as their eyes locked with your form - taking in the golden glow of the scars littering your skin. You screwed your eyes shut, forcing the tears lining them to stop their course. You could feel yourself growing lightheaded, forcing you to finally take in a deep inhale, gasping for air.
As a silence fell upon the room, you could finally force the air into your lungs, grounding you gently. When you finally felt brave enough to open your eyes, you were greeted by a strange sight.
The two archons who had previously threatened your safety and that of your companions, were now kneeling before you, their gazes lowered to the marbled floor, heads hung low in shame.
"Your grace...it truly is you..." Zhongli spoke first, not daring to meet your gaze.
You gulped heavily.
"Please forgive our transgressions - we were simply trying to protect your image," Ei spoke quietly, her hair falling in front of her face in a dark curtain.
You blinked away tears, taking another step backwards.
The gazes of the two archons followed you, leading you to feel much too exposed.
"I'll...be in my room," you muttered, turning on your heel and fleeing the scene - ignoring the gazes locked on your form.
With that, you were gone - your flowy robes fluttering behind you as you gained momentum - ignoring the hollow echoes of your footsteps clashing against the cold floor below - eager to escape the panic clawing its way out of your chest. You crashed against the heavy door of your room, gulping in a fresh wave of air, suddenly feeling the exhaustion coming down you in waves. With shaky movements, you jiggled the doorknob, managing to sloppily open the door before slipping inside. You closed it behind you softly - not too keen on making any sound.
With a deep sigh, you leaned against the door once more, allowing yourself to slide down it. A choked sound escaped your lips as you pulled your knees close, desperate to make yourself small. Everything seemed much too dangerous - like it was out to get you.
The display the archons had put on was making you fear for your life once more.
Were they simply acting? Did they still hate you?
Would they convince Venti you were a fraud too?
You choked back a sob.
You sure felt like one.
Before you could allow your mind to spiral into another hurricane, a soft knock on the wooden door tugged you free from those thoughts.
"Your Grace..." you heard Venti's soft voice from behind the door.
You inhaled shakily.
"Yeah?"
"May I come in?"
"Yeah...sure..." you shuffled to your feet, wiping off the tears forming in the corners of your eyes before finally daring to open the door.
Venti looked slightly dishevelled, a couple of strands of his hair having escaped their confines in his braids. He fixed his cape and set his hat straight.
"They've left, your Grace," he stated, his brows furrowing as he took in the sight your own messy form.
"Oh...that's....a relief..." you muttered, your gaze shifting aside, unable to meet his as the thoughts haunting you kept churning around in your mind.
"Are you alright, your Grace?" he asked, taking a careful step closer.
You managed a noncommittal shrug.
"I don't know. I guess so."
"I don't think that's quite true, if I may be so curt," Venti spoke, slowly reaching out a delicate hand towards you.
You latched onto his soft hand as though it was an anchor on a stormy sea.
"I guess I'm not much of a liar," you muttered, taking a step closer to the archon.
You could feel his piercing gaze drill into you.
"You won't have to interact with them as long as I'm here. I'll make sure they stay out of Mondstadt. Away from you," he promised.
You choked back a sob.
"Thank you, Venti. I didn't think I'd be so easily upset by them," you whispered, wrapping your arms around the Anemo archon. Gently, his own arms enveloped you. A gentle open palm stroked your upper back in a comforting manner.
You breathed in the scent of fresh cecilias and fresh grass that seemed to emanate from the man before you, burying your face in his chest, cushioned by his soft clothing.
"There's nothing wrong with being upset over this," Venti spoke in a surprisingly serious tone.
"Anyone would be, if they were in your shoes, your Grace."
You breathed out a dry laugh.
"Thanks, Venti."
"Anything for you, your Grace."
You nuzzled your face closer to his chest.
"Just (Y/n) is fine, you know."
"I...see. Alright then, (Y/n)."
You allowed a small smile to tug at the corners of your lips at his gentle words.
Perhaps things would turn out alright, after all.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:・Moving On
genre: angst, yandere themes
ft: genshin characters, gn!reader
a/n: okay so I signed up for honkai star rail and had the best idea in existence for the SAGAU, also take care of yourselves for me <3
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
Paimon didn't know how this came about, how you could leave them so soon. It just didn't seem fair. Honkai Star Rail, the latest Hoyoverse game that would be coming out near the end of 2022 or early 2023, the latest craze on Twitter. You were so passionate about it, already putting in your email address so that you'd get early access to the game. She could only watch as you excitedly scrolled through the endless Twitter threads, laughed at spoilers and marvelled at announcements made by the developers - and it got to the point where she just couldn't keep in her sadness any longer.
"Guys, Paimon has something to tell you." Paimon started sadly whilst floating in the air. Lumine and Aether looked at her in surprise and concern and got up from their Serenitea Pot beds. "We're gonna get replaced and Paimon doesn't want to be replaced yet, or ever!" Lumine's eyes widened and she slowly covered her mouth in disbelief.
"You're joking Paimon, right? [Name] would never replace us! They've spent primogems and mora on us. They can't leave us here!" Paimon could only shake her head and whimper. Unfortunately for her, her plan to only tell the travellers backfired, and soon came Kaeya. He was initially hoping he'd just caught the wrong end of the stick, but this time he was not mistaken. Then came in Jean and then Lisa and even Barabra. All of your characters came in to clarify, but in the midst of it all they broke down.
You were making your characters go to Inazuma to visit Kujou Sara, but whilst you were AFK they broke the news to her - much to her disappointment and sadness. She passed on the news to the Shogun with a heavy heart, and you should've seen how the poor puppet's facade faded. Out of all the characters, the Archons and children were most upset. Oh, my dear reader, they'll never you forgive if you leave them. Don't leave them for that new game. Zhongli will gift you all the cor lapis you want for ascension, and Ei will stop with her harsh rule of Inazuma! Venti'll never drink again, the Tsarista will give back the gnoses too! Why are you doing this? Please, change your mind!
You're hurting them.

Hazy thoughts of you in the night
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Venti x gn!reader
Genre: Fluff!
Word count: 700~
Warnings: Alcohol
Summary: Venti couldn’t get you off his mind all night, so he decided to shoot his shot and hope for the best.
Tumblr media
Enveloped deep in the heart of thunderous laughter and slurred speech sits a lone bard, a bit too tipsy to think straight but not drunk enough yet to partake in the fun. The obnoxious sound of tankards clashing together and spilling drinks all over the place hadn’t yet grown monotonous enough to drown in the rest of the noise, and Venti had to admit, it had started to grind his gears a bit. And even so, he kept staring cautiously into a half-filled glass of wine, not yet finding the simple strength to bring it to his lips. Normally, he wouldn’t be one to miss out when some stranger with too much mora was paying for the rounds, but he could absolutely not risk forgetting anything right now. Not when your voice was already so faint among the crowd, not when he had to concentrate on your every word just to catch it all. And he dared not look in your direction yet, lest you see him like this… all disoriented and gloomy.
If he could recall correctly, no citizen of Mondstadt had seen him like this for many, many years.
You were seated comfortably at the biggest table the Angel’s Share offered, surrounded by friends from the adventurer’s guild. A celebratory feast of sorts, held in your honour. Your voice pierced through the perpetual noise, feeling like a sweet respite from the repetitive laughter and unexciting stories that usually dominated the talk of the tavern when nobody interesting were performing. He hung onto every word you spoke as you recalled the daring adventure you had embarked on with your team that week. It was impressive stuff, sure... For normal people. Normal people who get up in the morning to get to work, to provide for their lives, tend to their duties, and repeat the cycle again the day after. For experienced adventurers it was notable at best, and still, you made it sound legendary. From the way you spoke of the trials you faced, to the way you revealed the solutions. You had every person sitting within earshot at the edge of their seats, yearning for the next part, the next sentence, the next word uttered by you. Venti too was smitten by your tales.
He could recall the bashful look you had on your face when you arrived with your party an hour earlier, that had slowly loosened up and gained some confidence as the atmosphere grew livelier over the course of your visit. You looked a bit like you wanted to melt away where you stood at the door, and Venti made some sort of remark about your adventurous feats that you never had the time to reply to before you were pulled along by your team. He hopes he didn’t say anything that scared you, but he really couldn’t recall anymore.
One thing was sure though, he was getting bored staring at his own sad reflection in the sad half-filled glass of wine.
Venti puffed out his chest, shook off any lingering doubt, whispered “to heavens with it,” and abruptly rose from his seat, snatching the glass up and downing the last sip in one go. Before he had the chance to second guess himself, he turned around and headed straight for your table. You wrapped up the recollection of your adventure and a round of cheers were sung, and he could practically feel your gaze turn to him as he approached.
“Adventurer, we meet again! I couldn’t help overhearing your tale, you’ve really got a knack for storytelling.” He flashed you an inviting smile, focusing his full attention on you.
The look on your face as your eyes met made his heart swell a bit, as mundane as the interaction was in reality. The corners of your mouth rose into a proud yet timid smile at the compliment.
“Haha, thank you! Would you like to join us?”
He took note of the faint blush rising to your cheeks, wondering if you were as aware of it as he was. With a chuckle and a wink, he hoped to keep that wonderful colour on your face all night long. He smiles, pulling up a free chair from an empty table and taking a seat next to you.
“Now who would I be to reject such an enticing invitation? I’d love to compose you a melody, if you’ll allow it~”

Um 👉👈 maybe Venti + "stay a little longer?" ('please?') for a scenario idea? Could go into comfort/angst or just him being a menace to spend time with you! Or another prompt could be a highschool AU maybe 🤔 like spending time in the music room together to practice?
(No pressure to do this if it doesn't click, thank you for sharing your work on your blogs!!)
“stay-” 
“venti ...” 
“stay longerrrr,” venti groaned, his tone rising the longer he drew out the ‘R’. 
“I have to leave sometime. I have work.” 
“What is work when you can spend all your time with me,” his cheeky grin pressed against your arm, his playful eyes flashing to the ones you tried so hard not to roll. Venti was always taking things as seriously as a grape about to be smashed down into the fine wine he loved to drink. 
“And who is going to pay for this apartment that you enjoy spending time in, hmmm?” 
“Haha, it’ll work out!” 
“Venti --” you were cut off by a face pressing into your side and making you giggle uncontrollably. He wrapped himself around you like a cat begging for your attention and refused to release you no matter how many times you lifted him away. “Veeeentii, come onnn.” 
When he finally let you go, he moved to the table but instead of sitting in one of the chairs, he leapt on the table-top, legs crossed, and elbows pressing into his thighs. He was pouting, you could tell easily by the frown on his face, but there wasn’t much you could do. 
“I’ll be back soon, I promise.” 
“Ah, a promise is only as strong as the seal used to bind it.” 
“W-What?” you asked, head lifting up from tying your shoes. When you saw his lips pull into a sly smirk, you knew something was happening but you weren’t sure what. Then, as if everything fell into place, he lifted his finger and tapped his cheek, eyes staring you down out of his peripherals. 
“gah, alright,” finishing your task quickly, you made your way to him. It was easy enough to lean forward and aim for a kiss on his cheek but when you were about to make the connection he turned his head so you planted one on his lips. “I should have seen that comING!?” Like a Venus flytrap, his arms caged you in as he pulled you backward on the table so you were laying on top of him. 
“Stay a little longer ....” he pleaded with a sad eyes much mischievous grin. 
You relented, because that’s all you could ever do, “Fine, but only for a little -- haha -- wait! A little while! Venti!” but he couldn’t hear you anymore over the sound of his excited, happy, and gleeful laughter.

To be a god..with you.
Tumblr media
Never would they have thought the desolance of their hearts would be refilled with as much joy and vigor that you selflessly gift them. You are their everything, a light in the darkness they have concealed for far too long. So as cruel as it is natural, they wonder about the day when that illuminance will be snuffed out by time. The god-hood that they possess is praised and valued for the ultimate blessing that it is, however at times as such is when reality presents itself again. Truly what will they do with themselves when the moment approaches and are you, their priceless love, aware of such grievances as well?
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Venti/Barbatos
Tumblr media
You met the god of winds during your first visit to Mondstat. As a newcomer within the town you were gleefully recommended to visit the renowned Tavern, Angel’s Share. It was there you were personally served by the stoic redhead behind the counter, who shared the history of the city with you throughout the night. When a long moment of peace passed it was hastily interrupted by the drunk ramblings of a bard clad in green. He climbed the table and announced the commencement of his performance, a ballad about his love of wine. The bar owner groaned behind you, but with a chuckle you were intrigued enough to hear this passionate love song. It was unexpectedly beautiful to say the least, how a wasted person strummed a harp so skillfully was beyond you.
You didn’t have long to enjoy the melody any longer spotting the player teetering towards the edge of the counter. Instinctively you ran over to his aid just in time, slumped in your arms he looked at you with hazy eyes. “My knight in shining armor, it seems I’ve fallen for you. Ehe~.” He fell silent as a heat crept onto your face. The redhead apologized for his behavior and offered to take him off your hands, but for some reason you denied it. At that he begrudgingly let you know the bard often hangs around Windrise and to drop him off there if you're willing to make the trip. You do so, setting him up against the large tree but feel a gust of wind envelop you and set you down gently at his side. Obviously you were taken aback for a moment but simply figured he was an Anemo user. The young man nuzzled into you mumbling to stay, with a sigh you accept wrapping his cape and your arm around his shoulder for extra warmth. “What a kind soul I stumbled upon, I hope you’ll still be here when I wake. I want to know the name of my savior, at a time when I can remember.” You silently agreed, from then on you two were inseparable.
An uncountable amount of time has passed since that day, happily declaring that you and Venti’s relationship has both evolved and prospered. Ever since that night you’ve gotten to know the bard deeply, the secrets he had. All the sorrow and despair he stored in his heart, yet the principles he held true. Your mutual love of music was a pleasure as well, you sang while he strummed, he sang while you danced, and you both became fast hits throughout Mondstat. The synergy you shared was apparent by all, and many had to say the bard they saw wander the streets by his lonesome for many years seemed to glow all the brighter now with your hand in his. You brought a happiness in his life he hasn’t felt for so long, you were his muse, his windblume, his everything. With you he’s felt a freedom that envelopes his soul as much as his mind, and he never wants to live without. And so comes the truth. Eventually Venti had told you of his nature, being the god of Anemo Barbatos and his thousands of years of experience. This information of course never deterred you, he was still Venti god and all. You desired nothing more than to be by his side, that’s all that mattered to you. As overjoyed as he was to hear your confirmations, the density of the situation was still too great to bear on some days. To fathom a future where his shadows would not be illuminated by your light, where his winds wouldn’t carry the laughter you both shared, where the sweet melody to his songs would grow ever hollow as a piece of his soul would be forever missing.
The emotions it brought him left obvious signs of unrest, you were worried for him and encouraged that any burdens he still had buried he could lean on you fully. Confide and trust in you just as he always did, but this was different there was nothing he could do to change the current of fate as strong as this. He slowly began avoiding you, shirking any plans you’ve made, or any attempts to call him back home. He claimed to need time to himself, but you knew better. The sadness in his demeanor was all too familiar, and if he wished to take his space then so be it. You’ll be here because you know more than anyone that’s all he needs. On a particular night, you sat in the high branches of Windrise by yourself, staring out at the stars. You missed the accompaniment of the impromptu tunes as you did so, weakly you lifted your heavy body and took a deep breath. You sang out softly, growing louder more and more. You sang about missing him, the one who’d sit with you on nights like this, the one who showed you the world and its creativity, who helped you express and find yourself. You had more fun, became more open, felt more free all thanks to him. You just want him to come back home. Your voice died out as you finished, the choked sob in your throat following.
“Windblume?”
A gentle breeze blew past you as if to dry the hot tears running down your face. In front of you was the very bard clad in green, looking towards you sorrowfully.
“Venti!” You let your tears continue to flow as you ran into his arms.
“Where did you go? I know you wouldn’t leave me but—you took so long I-”
“I’m sorry. I let my emotions weigh me down again, and hurt the one I love the most. Such is the tale of the lonely bard.”
“But you’re not! Anything you’re going through we'll figure it out together, I promised you that!”
“You, promised me that!”
At your exclamation Venti simply looked at you with a soft smile and set you both down to sit. He stared at the stars and you followed, when your cries slowed he spoke.
“Did you know that stars, as eternal as they may seem, can slowly fade away?”
You shift your attention to him curiously.
“So bright and beautiful, they illuminate the night and guide lost travelers’ way. One of the world's greatest creations, they hold so much inspiration. To think..”
He pauses as if his next words were too painful to let out.
“To think that one day some won’t shine anymore, to blink away and leave the sky emptier than it once was.”
With a quivering voice Venti finished, holding back a few tears. You finally understood what made him so upset after all this time. You take his face into your hands as you sit in front of him.
“Venti, I understand how painful that is. Believe me, I think about it too.”
You fell silent for a moment.
“But nothing brings back my happiness more than remembering I get to spend every last second with you.”
Venti let the tears that built in his eyes break away.
“I’ve never met anyone like you my windblume, a world without you is..it’s-”
“Shhhh I know.”
You embrace him as he sobs freely. The cries pierced your heart, you didn’t want to conceive the idea of lifetime without being by his side either. You just wanted to be together forever. The things you wouldn’t give to make that reality possible. If only there was a way, if only you could…
“If only I could become a god..”
The weeping bard snapped away from you to look you in the eye. You really didn’t mean to say that out loud, but the brightness on Venti’s face shooed your embarrassment away.
“You could!”
“I could?!”
“Of course! Many before you have ascended to Celestia, what would make you any different. If anyone in all of Teyvat is worthy of godhood it’s you, and everything you have to offer.”
You were shocked, but couldn’t help but to ponder his words. You ascending to Celestia? That can’t be possible, of course it obviously is, many stories depict mortals such as yourself doing so. It would be a long and arduous journey, but with Venti by your side perhaps it could be done. Yes, it could be, it will be, you said it before you’d do anything to stay by Venti’s side and that includes doing whatever it takes to prove yourself to the heavens!
“That is only if you want to.”
Venti says lowly.
“It’s an enormous decision, one that will throw the entire course of your life off track. I didn’t mean to ask you so selfishly, I’ll have you anyway I can Windblume, I mean that with all I am.”
“I want to.”
You mumble and the bard becomes wide eyed.
“I want to do it. There’s nothing left for me in this life. Everything I could ever want is to live on with you.”
The tears return to both your eyes, whether it was from sorrow or glee you both couldn’t decipher.
“You’d be giving up so much, binding yourself to someone like me. Are you sure?”
Venti clasps your hands in his shakingly. You bring your forehead to his and clasp them back.
“With you I’ve never felt more free. I love you Venti, I love you Barbatos.”
The god crashes his lips into yours at those words making you lose your balance. You fall into your back as he continues to kiss you desperately, you can feel the warmth of his stray tears falling onto your face.
“I love you too Y/N, forever and always.”
From that day forward your goal to achieve god-hood was determined. As you did all that was advised by Venti as he vouched for your character. It was a long and difficult journey, but you always found motivation in the bard you loved that most and him in you. One fateful day you presented yourself amongst the gods and sang your heart out as a show of passion and skill. From then on, history thusly has you written as a god of music, lovingly bound to the god of winds for the rest of time.

Zhongli/Morax
Tumblr media
You encountered the man on an not so happy day. You entered the Wangsheng funeral parlor, and inquired about arrangements for a ceremony memorializing the death of a precious pet. The strangely enthusiastic girl was happy to help you, but required assistance for some needed materials to set up the shrine. It’s then you meet the strong-built man who was all too kind, and gives his condolences for your loss. As a means to cheer you up he insisted you join him as he hunts for the best minerals and jewels for the decorations. During your excursions when you were intrigued by particular trinkets the man, whom you now knew as Zhongli, couldn’t help but to break into a lecture about said items. This would be a continuous trend to where even the poor vendors had no choice but to stand by and spectate the exchange.
“Forgive me, I do tend to ramble on. It appears I have an overwhelming need to share what I’ve learned throughout the years. Do let me know if it becomes too graining.” To his surprise you merely insist how you’d love to hear more, and you couldn’t be more fascinated by his knowledge. Your excitement brought delight to his face as he has never heard such interest from a stranger like you. Oh how he wishes to understand such a pleasant anomaly as yourself. When you both returned, and had the bright eyed girl finish the arrangements, you all paid your respects to your beloved friend. “I am again so very sorry for your loss. Perhaps I can quell the sorrow by asking you to join me for dinner this evening. It’ll be entirely my treat I can assure you, and I have quite a few more tales to share.” With a smile you accepted his offer without a second thought.
From that day forward many residents of Liyue were borderline shocked to see the straight-laced man be in company with someone who radiates such enthusiasm. Many times when he spoke his mind it was as if he was talking to a brick wall, but you were more of a sponge with his words. Oftentimes he’d be elated at how strong your memory was, relaying information back to him that even he couldn’t quite recall. The banter you both exchanged may have seemed boring to some, but you were both too immersed in your own world to bother caring. How fortunate was he to encounter a fellow history buff as well, one that relayed tales in such a fanciful light. You brought a much needed eagerness to his life and one that he'd like to encounter everyday moving forward. And so your relationship blossomed, it was so naturally people wouldn’t even have guessed unless you specified. All that was different was the occasional intimacy, in which Zhongli relished in. Over time you two shared everything you could about what you knew about the world and yourselves. So the brunette felt obligated to let you know of his true identity as the god of Geo, and how it’s due this that he’s gained so much experience and wisdom. He told you of the person he used to be and the one he morphed into now, advising you that if you thought of him any differently he would not blame you. However, you lovingly embraced him, letting him know simply that whomever he is will always be the person you love. And so his anxieties subsided, if only for a moment.
Zhongli has lived so long, seen so many sights, and lost just as much. He knew, as logical as he was, that there would come a time where he would not feel the radiance of your smile greet him in the mornings. Where the conversations he so cherished would no longer be the norm of his everyday life. Like a shining gem eroded by time, your luster would one day wear away. He never often knew fear, but this thought and feeling struck his soul harder than he could muster the strength to fight it off. So in the middle of his duties at the parlor he would take a retreat unbeknownst to anyone,to decipher his swirling emotions. When you came to meet him for your afternoon tea you couldn’t find him anywhere, no one you asked knew either. Separately you searched all your usual rendevu spots, and came to a conclusion. You spotted his tall figure looking over the land at one of the tops of Qingyun Peak, standing in silence while the wind blew around him. He could hear your footsteps approaching, but only spoke when you were by his side.
“It appears I’ve missed our outing today. I apologize my love, a mind this old can still tend to be forgetful.”
“It’s alright, I figured you’d be here if nowhere else. The place you took me for our first date, how on brand.”
Zhongli chuckled at your remark, but became straight faced once again.
“Somethings on your mind, it’s very unlike you to be this quiet.”
The man huffed and bowed his head in agreement.
“Talk to me, like you always do.”
He looked back at you, then surveyed the area and its many mountains.
“My treasure, nothing in this life means more to you than your understanding. You're perceptive, you're smart, so you should know that this said life of mine is but one of several.”
You stare at him intrigued while he speaks, he continues on with a smirk seeing this.
“I have lived many before you, and I will unfortunately live many after. It is an inevitable future, but one that still often plagues my mind. A day will go by when I won’t have you to confide in, to share my tales, to love, and to hold. And although your memory will shine bright as gold in my mind, it will never hold a candle to the precious experience that is you.”
He’s always had a way with words, he could make the most mundane things sound so poetic. Yet now you felt like you might cry, it’s true you weren’t immortal like him. You would go on without him either one day, and the very thought of not being in his presence. You find yourself lunging into his arms, comforting him but also needing some yourself.
“I know, it doesn’t seem fair now. But you of all people should know that all we can do is cherish what we have together. Here and now, and everyday until then.”
The man looked at you, sorrowful, you were almost surprised as he squeezed you back. Lifting you in his hold, clinging on desperately.
“Never in a millennia would I have expected to feel a love so pure. I belong with you, and you with me. Anything else is unthinkable, it hurts me Y/N.”
“I know.”
You did feel complete with him too, as if no one else in any lifetime would be meant for you. It pained you just as much to think about, if only there was a way. A way to ascend to Celestia and perhaps achieve god-hood yourself. A fleeting thought, but a theory nonetheless.
“If only I became a god, surely that means we could stay together.”
“Of course.” He mumbled into your shoulder, only to hold you back to look you in the eye.
“The journey to do as such is difficult yet plausible. Only ever if you’d want to, it’s something we could achieve together. However, I would never wish for you to put yourself through a decision this immense. Please take some time to mull it over, and either way no matter what you may choose I will always be yours. Till whatever may do us part, my treasure.”
He sat you down yet clasped your hands in his warmly, kissing them. Not expecting an answer so soon. Simply yearning for your embrace at this moment.
“Now when have you ever known me to flee from a challenge. Walking down this path is quite suitable for a partner of the Rex Lapis don’t you think?”
Zhongli looks surprised but softens as he turns towards the distance with your hand still in his.
“This world is vast and ever-changing, it continues to surprise me in the grandest of ways. Never would I have thought it'd give me another to yearn for, and fill my heart with love as warm as yours. If you truly are so sure, I wonder what else this realm has to offer.”
At that sentiment you tug on his arm and pull him into a deep kiss. He hums into you reciprocating with twice the force, once again lifting you into his strong embrace. You break away after a moment panting deeply.
“Then let’s discover it all, together.”
“I love you with everything I am Y/N.”
“I love you too Zhongli.”
And so, as he has mentioned, the road to god-hood was anything but easy. However, the support of your partner and the hope for a brighter future was the only driving force you needed to continue on. With the help and recommendation of Morax, and a few contracts being made, you had council with the gods. Exemplifying your wisdom and keen attitude, the same traits of many the Geo god fell so hard for. For many years to come you were known as a god of fortune under the Geo division, but it was lesser known how happily wed you were to the sanctions very own god forevermore.
Tumblr media
Raiden Ei/Beelzebub
Tumblr media
Never would you have ever expected to be in a meeting with the real Raiden Ei and not just her vessel. You used to work for Yae Miko at her publishing company, but became so fascinated in her association with the goddess she took you under her wing. It was simply a test of skill and loyalty yet you passed with flying colors. So after much of the drama in Inazuma slowly died down you often encountered the electro god, more and more. She was not one to be easily interested in shrine keeper like you, but let’s just say your cooking prowess stood you apart from the rest. Knowing you could lure her in with food, you would often bring a variety of desserts to her place of meditation and become lucky enough to strike a conversation. You've gotten to know much about her, her ideals, her goals, her interests, and her greatest worries. You understand the goddess on a deeper level, and in return she inquired about you. You didn’t have ambitions as intense as hers, and yet she found the simplicity almost relieving. As if there was finally someone who didn’t try to impress her, yet also didn’t belittle her when there were things she didn’t know. In fact you quite enjoyed teaching the goddess about all sorts of things she missed in her time of meditation. And so she came to enjoy your company very much.
Visiting her became so routine and second nature, it was so surprising when she came some days. Simply stating that you were taking too long to come, and how she was traveling anyways. The same excuses you found quite adorable to say the least. It was almost euphoric for Ei having someone to confide in and comfort her, it was a feeling she shut away for so long. She often tried to deny it, but on nights when you would hold her close and praise her and who she was alone. Not the foreboding goddess that everyone else knew her to be. She never wanted it to go away, she wanted to keep you. So soon your relationship was forged, not many knew but those who did were quite frankly shocked. Ei didn’t seem like the type but you worked your way into her heart nonetheless. Often conversing over desserts, teaching her what the world has to offer, getting to see that child-like curiosity glow from her, there was nothing you enjoyed more. She was so thankful for you. For the first time in forever she felt like herself, and she only wanted to protect the smile of the one that made her feel so at home.
The smile that she eventually realized would not be there one day. If Ei knew one thing it was the guarantee of eternity, and its weight it had on the world, on life. Your fate as a mortal was set in stone, and as much as she wished it was something she could preserve and meditate away it was unlikely to change. She couldn’t hear the thought of losing someone she held so dear again, she refused to go through it. She would move the heavens and earth if it meant remodeling reality, if it meant having the life of her life by her side forever. So in the midst of her turmoil she came upon an idea, an idea she thought to be so awfully selfish but it had to be asked. She summoned you to meat at Euthymia, where you both first were introduced.
“Ei!” You ran towards the goddess as she whipped around, smiling at your flusteredness. You stopped in front of her panting.
“I-I came as fast as I could. Miss Miko had me practically on the other side of Inazuma running errands.”
“Oh forgive me I didn’t mean to put you through all that trouble.”
“It’s no trouble at all if it means I get to see you. Now what did you want to tell me?” You grab her hands enthusiastically waiting for her response. She blushes shyly and looks away for a moment, hesitating as she forces out her next words.
“My dove, I have been thinking on some things.”
You look on intently sensing her tenseness. She sighs and staring into your eyes let’s the rest of her words spill, wanting to be truthful.
“You have shown me love and kindness I haven’t felt for what feels like an eternity now. I’ve done so much, whether it be labeled as good or bad, and yet you still accepted me. Cherished me, and taught me all I could’ve ever hoped to know about this evolving world. But the truth is, I know what an eternity alone feels like, and I don’t want to go back to that feeling.”
She trails off during the last half, and that’s when it hits you. Of course, the very goddess of eternity would know that there would come a time when you wouldn’t be around to experience with her. It’s a thought that’s hit you hard and cruelly at moments too.
“Oh Ei, I’m so sorry, I don’t want to leave you alone either. You don’t deserve that anymore, but all I can do for you is be with you here now. Make every single moment as special as the last, just like I swore I would so long ago. So at least I’ll be strong in your memory.”
You cupped the goddesses face as she held your warm hands.
“But what if there was a chance for a different future?”
“Hm?”
“What if there was a chance you could live on with me. I’ve seen it before, mortals ascending to Celestia, and being rewarded the powers of a god. It’s all happened to us at some point, it could be the very same for you!”
You were shocked at her words. Ascending to Celestia is possible but to be a god, with her? It sounded so unreal, so impossible, and yet she believed in you. She wanted to be with you so desperately that she made the suggestion. You had to admit you were thinking heavily on it. A future without Ei is no future at all, from her strength to her grace and everything in between was what you yearned for now and always.
“But! That’s only if you have any desire to. When I thought about it I realized how selfish it was to do this, everything you’d be throwing away. I would never make you do such a thing, eternity can be more cruel than many may realize. So I apologize, it was only a thought, I will love and cherish every single moment I have with you dove. I promise.”
Ei pulls you close and kisses your forehead. Instinctively you hug the goddess back, as both cling to one another strongly. You loved her too, you loved this feeling, you truly never wanted to be without it. Deep down in your soul, and in the far ravens if your mind knew that. You this, and nothing more, was all you needed.
“I’ll do it.”
“What?”
“I’ll do it, I’ll become a god.”
“Dove you don’t-���
“No Ei, I mean it. You are everything I could ever need. An eternity with you is absolutely priceless.”
You firmly grasp her shoulders and speak to her an assertion she’s ever seen before.
“I am dormant in my ways, are you not afraid an eternity with me will grow dull.”
“Never, and even still, anyone is capable of change no matter how much time it takes. But I want only you.”
She blushes at your sentiment but a thought still pleasures her mind.
“E-Even if you do become a god, I cannot guarantee your safety. But I would lay down my life if that threat ever arrives.”
You hum, understanding where her concerns stem from. In a swift motion, you bring the goddess close, looking her intensely in the eye before stealing her lips in a kiss. He gasped into it, returning the gesture softly. You both stayed like this for a moment that felt like forever, blocking the world out as her soft lips gilded against yours. When you broke away, you’d hold her close looking on seriously as you answered her.
“That won’t be necessary, but it is the thought that counts. The fact that you care about me so much means the world to me. I want to live on with you Ei, I love you.”
“I love you too Y/N, and I always will.”
From that day on you both, hand in hand, began your journey to achieve god-hood. Many in Celestia were willing to hear the word of the Electro goddess, being strong in her stances about your worthiness. Yet you also continued to prove yourself, finding your greatest strength in hers and vice versa. With the perfect synergy you both held, you decided anything you’d be willing to do it’d be in tandem with the one you loved the most. To this day, history has you both marked as the goddess of eternity and the god of storms. Ruling over your lands with unwavering power forged in eternal love.

Full of substance~ ft our favorite anemo boys
Disclaimer: 4nemo with drugs and alcohol because I've been wanting to write high Kazuha so bad. (Modern au with no specified pronouns)
A/N: I wanted to write high Kazu so bad and yet Kazuha's part was literally so fucking frustrating to write.
Venti~
He's such an adorably loud drunk. It's obnoxious to most people but you can't help but find it charming. The way he cheers for even the smallest things, replying to almost anything with, "I'll drink to that." He doesn't have a bottom honestly, he stops when you either stop paying for his drinks or when he blacks out whichever comes first.
In the past he didn't care if he was alone of not. Being pretty perfectly content with getting so drunk he could barely stand and waking up with no memories of the night before. And he'd woken up in some pretty crazy places. But now that he was with you he always dragged you with him, not that he really needed to seeing as when he said he was going you'd follow merely to keep him out of harm's way.
Sometimes he purposefully pretends to pass out just so you'll carry him and he especially loves being pampered. Like he craves it with every fiber of his being. Rub his back while he drinks water, untie his braids, please please give him kisses because he wants them so much.
"Wait, don't leave me. Don't go." He whimpers, droning off into long whines as he stumbles out of bed behind you.
"Ven, stay put I promise I'll be right back. I'm not leaving you." You reply, placing his feet gently back under the covers. Massaging his sweaty bangs away from his forehead to peck little kisses across his temple.
And of course he does still try to cling onto you. Mumbling complaints of needing you and kicking the sheets away but after a little while you get him still enough on his side to head to the bathroom, grabbing pills for his future hangover. Unsurprisingly you return to a dozed off Venti with the covers only over one of his legs and barely that. Face half smothered in the pillows as he cozily snored away.
With the hardest part of your night finally dealt with. You took to cleaning his face with a warm rag from the bathroom, undressing him (which was just naturally easy when he slept anyway) and wrapping him up nice and snug in the blankets so he wouldn't get too cold.
In the morning you felt his looming presence but you didn't bother to open your eyes. Knowing Venti he was probably just watching you sleep as he did every now and then. You were soon taken aback by the addition of his weight pressing tightly against yours. Arm squeezing around your waist and clumsy movements applying little kisses to your forehead and chin.
"I love you." He whispers like he's desperate for you to hear. Like you need to know so badly. "Please stay with me."
Kazuha~
To be very honest high Kazuha and sober Kazuha aren't really too different. Besides the obvious indicators being: His increase in appetite, short attention span and unintentional humor. Not to mention sober Kazuha while loving to his significant other is normally not one to overly seek out affection. He loves his s/o's arms draped around his body but most often it will be his s/o who initiates it. He is little spoon after all.
Any kind of touch while he's under stimulants is good but he more specifically enjoys laying on his partner's chest. Coddled in warmth after a small meal. The small meal most likely consisting of chips and salsa. Sometimes barbecue wings which he rarely eats when he's not high. Once he's finished he just wants to let his hair down and sit in your lap with his arms wrapped around your waist and sleep the last of his trip off.
This time is no different, he's got his hands beneath your back, laid fully on top of you in bed with a blanket tucking him in up to his shoulder blades. His hair loose as it seeps so perfectly between your fingers while you massage his scalp.
"Comfy Kazu?" You question as his breathing starts to even out.
"Yes, this is genuinely relaxing." He mumbles into the crook of your neck. "Do we happen to have oreos?"
He shifts like he plans to stand but you stop him clinging to his hips. "Are you ever planning on telling me why you chose the day before my job interview to get high? I should really be prepping right now." You delicately trace his scalp with your fingers, trying so hard to keep a straight face but the way he hummed from your touch was more than your heart could take.
"Perhaps a part of me was unable to finish my haiku, another part was just genuinely stuck in a slump and needed a get away to relieve stress."
You slip your hands over his cheeks, fond of the softness in his eyes as he stared back at you. "Oh Kazu, please find a better stress reliever for a while. You know how important this job is, I don't want to squander my chances."
"I realize how important this is for you, I don't wish to spoil your chances. If anything I was merely hoping for the chance to rest so close to you before I lose the opportunity for a long while."
Your heart sank at his confession, taking in just how vulnerable Kazuha really was in this state. You tugged him in even closer just kissing his skin and curling into his affectionate grasp as he held you too.
"You have me here sweetie. I'll hold you till you're ready to sleep."
And for a few moments the two of you laid basking in the warmth of each other. So nicely intertwined in love's gentle cradle. Only your breaths mingling to fill the empty space that words had dissipated from.
"Your hold on me is more than perfect my love, however I fear my growing erection is going to ruin this moment."
Xiao~
Probably the most relaxed looking of the bunch when he's high
But relaxed is probably the wrong word. Shell shocked is far better. He's so overly quiet, like more than his usual. Often staring aimlessly or buried under about twenty blankets like he's freezing. He doesn't normally act like he desperately needs you but the few times he's gotten high have been a genuine nightmare for him. He was informed that it could help with the voices in his head but overall it seemed to just make him worse.
So of course when you came home and he was curled up under the biggest blanket the two of you owned you already knew he was going through it. When you lifted the covers away he hadn't even bothered to make eye contact, too preoccupied with his ongoing trip. His pupils a bit dilated and his figure vibrating akin to a small dog.
"Oh Xiao Xiao." You only slipped off your shoes as you crawled into the spot beside him. "Why again?" You whispered, though it was probably safe to assume either someone had slipped him some and he'd started feeling the effects long before you'd come home. Or that he'd eaten a bit of an edible without knowing.
"Name." He whispered as he slipped closer to you, curling into you in the fetal position.
"I'm here, I'm here, it's ok." After a couple more minutes his shivering ceased but his hands dug into your back keeping you tethered to him like his personal life support. Under his breath you could hear the softest murmurs of your name, tickling the crook of your nape where he'd chosen to hide his face. You whispered back, soft compliments for how well he'd held out with you gone and relaxing words to ease his fears.
You slipped a hand up to his nape, hugging his head in closer. Sliding your hands through delicate strands until he started to feel heavier and heavier against you. The lull of his heartbeat beginning to pull you towards slumber as well and you slowly fell into it. Continuing to cradle Xiao you moved your hand so that it could rest at his side. It would definitely be asleep when the two of you awoke but you'd just have to deal with that then.
"Rest well Xiao Xiao."
Aether~
Drunk Aether is everything that sober Aether isn't. He's far more talkative, a little meaner and much louder. Plus he's more likely to try to strip so that's something to be careful of. He's such a well collected and overall responsible person that when he tries to stand on a table or beg you to let him take his shirt off it's more than a little shocking.
Also surprisingly he doesn't slur his words when he's drunk. At most he'll pause for far too long in between words or snort in the place of a reply. Getting him to go home with you is normally pretty easy. A short and sweet, "I think you've had enough, Ae" Will get a hiccup out of him followed by a nod.
Things are fairly simple from there just bringing his staggering figure home and getting him water and pills is all he really needs.
"Too.. hot." He complains immediately pulling his shirt off before you can completely get him through the door.
"Ah.. Ae wait hold on just.." You stumble through a sentence as he starts fumbling with his belt. Tugging his wobbly figure inside. You turn to shut the door behind you, trying your hardest to keep a hold on his arm while you fumble with the locks.
In the short time that you're preoccupied he does manage to slip away huffing out a long sigh as he heads toward your shared bedroom. "Wanna.. go to bed.." He mutters
"Just go lay down, Honey I'll bring you some water." You head to the sink, pulling a glass from the dish rack preparing to fill it with water when the return of Aether's footsteps alerts you to his presence.
"Went to.. go to bed.. the.." He mumbled amber eyes fond, so heavy where they stayed enamored with you. "You weren't there.. you're here.." He blinks like the thought genuinely made him ache.
"You need water to sober up." You cooed
He hummed making his way behind you slinking his arms around your waist and sliding his face into your collarbone. You reach one hand out to wick excess water off it before carding it through Aether's golden locks reaching out for the back of his head.
"Do you want to drink this later then?"
"Mm."
You chuckle, taking one of his arms away from your waist to very clumsily lead him towards the bedroom. Once he's laying on his side of the bed to place the cup down automatically being tugged into a tight bear hug after. His skin akin to a furnace, molding into you like it had so many times.
"I need your heat." He whispered and you could tell by his voice that he was sobering up pretty quickly.
"I'm right here honey." You mumble brushing strands of blonde back from his eyes. There was barely room between the two of you as it was and when he laid his forehead against yours, you could become drunk solely on the alcohol lingering on his tongue.
"Thank you.. for caring about me.. you're everything I've ever needed.."

Venti has soft wings and I want to HOLD
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His chest rose and fell in rhythm with quiet breaths, the arm flung over your shoulders threatening to slip off and fall to his side with every subtle movement. Venti's face rested in a relaxed expression, only disrupted by the slightest twitch on occasion. You would have quickly made the conclusion he was dreaming, hadn’t your attention been on the soft plush feathers sprawling from beneath the two of you. You comb through them with your hands, being as careful as you possibly can but still admiring the fluffy texture. They were almost like little clouds under your hands. Taking in the scent of them, you caught a tinge of Cecilias, nearly drowned out by the smell of cool air. The delicate feathers ruffled ever so slightly when a gust of wind blew past, causing Venti to be stirred from his nap for a moment. However, the gentle motions of your hands caressing his delicate wings was already lulling him back to sleep. All he had time for was to draw you closer into his embrace and bundle you up in a layer of soft feathers.

Your dinner comes to an end
Xiao
You had managed to keep the adeptus from escaping too far as everyone dispersed- going their own ways for the evening as lanterns continued to drift overhead. Your hand held his own as the both of you wandered about Liyue.
For the time, the both of you were quiet- merely enjoying the presence of one another as street vendors and people passed you by. It felt.. Oddly calm. With everything the year had brought- all the hardships and joy alike.. It all came to this moment of leaving the city- hand in hand with the adeptus. There was still the sound of fireworks cracking in the distance as the lights faded away behind you.
You can feel his grip tighten around your hand, a sense of warmth flooding through you with the action in spite of the gold breeze drifting by.
"You aren't still overwhelmed are you? We're away from the city now, everyone has gone their own ways." You stopped in your tracks, the yaksha coming to a halt shortly after when he felt his hand get tugged back.
"Mm.. Just drained.. It feels like I lost all of my energy." Glancing around- you knew the idea of going back to the city might leave Xiao to up and vanish.. but the idea of walking all the way back to Wangshu Inn when he was tired didn't sit right with you.
"Get on my back then." You spoke with no hesitation. You don't think you've ever seen Xiao's head whip around to look at you so fast. Releasing his hand, you lowered yourself onto one knee- gazing up at the man expectantly.
He stared right back- cheeks flushing as he looked away. Seeing as you didn't plan to get up until he was on your back for you to carry him- he gave in- though that didn't keep him from grumbling as he placed his hands on your shoulders to help him stay balanced.
"See! That wasn't so hard. You just rest for now, alright? We'll be at Wangshu Inn in no time at all!" You kept your arms secured around his thighs, allowing the man to relax against you. After a few minutes his breathing had evened out, a soft smile forming on your face at the victory.
Zhongli
As the conversation of departure drew on, you found yourself growing more and more bored. Looking over to the mere mortal beside you- the tall one- you didn't hesitate in gripping his hand and dragging him away from the others of the group.
He appeared mildly taken aback at the sudden action- though you didn't offer any sort of explanation as you drug him towards the docks.
"Darling? Is everything alright?" You paused for a moment to look back at him, though it lasted just as long.. A moment before you continued your trek with Zhongli in tow.
"I want to see the lanterns before they're gone. This is only once a year. And besides.. I wanted to enjoy with you." Your voice softened at the end, though he picked up your words all the same. A gentle smile graced his lips as you eagerly tugged him along.
"I'd be honored to watch the lanterns with you love, for as long as you please."
When you looked back at him, his gaze held such adoration- such fondness it was difficult to look him in the eyes before your gaze turned away once more in an effort to hide the heat that rushed to your face.
"Y-yeah.. We can go get some tea after, and I'm sure there will still be shops open by the time we head back." You settled soon enough, releasing his wrist in favor of wrapping an arm around his waist. "Besides, the night is still young. There's plenty to do."
He nodded to your words, accepting of the embrace as you two continued to talk through the night of whatever subjects came to mind- be it a passion of yours or something he encountered himself. Laughter was shared as the night came to a close with you gazing fondly at the man before you.
Venti
The bard had been in a rather good mood through the evening, and the moment you stepped outside you didn't hesitate to steal him away. He often got caught up in conversation- and you weren't about to let someone else steal away his attention before you could.
"Come on, lets go about the city! I'll tell you everything I know of Liyue, I'm sure you'll get inspiration for something in the future with what you learn." You gaze shifted to the others who had taken note of you both stepping away. "Happy Lantern Rite! I'm going to show him around!"
Not waiting for a response, you whisked him away into a crowd, ignoring his protests of wanting a proper farewell.
"I haven't been to Mondstadt in months Venti, you aren't getting away from me that easily when you show up. I'm not letting someone else try to steal you for the night, got it?" Your voice was stern, though it didn't hold too much of a threat to the man as he released a giggle.
"Alright my windblume, I'm all yours!" You grinned at his eagerness, glad that he wouldn't put up a fight to go back and be social. It had been ages since you have seen him, and even so.. Not once had you spent Lantern Rite with him. Even if the significance of such an event meant near nothing to you, you could still appreciate the joy of others and the pure beauty of it all.
"Perfect, because now that I've got you.. I'm never letting you go~"
