Hiii this is a story of mine of some old characters that sadly their story changed bc of some problems
Edwin reaches for Cassie's face as he caresses her cheek and with a heavy breath starts moving her head for any injury as Cassie pushed his hands away and looked at him as she looked at him: I'm fine! I'm not injured, either way Vampires heal
Edwin with an aggravated look grabbed her face again making Cassie shocked as he looked at all her body and with a pain in his voice said: you're reckless as always you could've gotten yourself killed! Look at you covered in scars!
Cassie was confused but she gently pushed him away: Look here werewolf
Edwin: it's Edwin
Cassie: Whatever, we've known each other for years. Do you really believe that I'd be dead? Look, I know you're a simple know it all but I'm tired, okay?! I don't need your lectures, so if now you'll excuse me, I must get home
Edwin pinned her against the wall, his right hand holding her hips and his left hand against the wall near her face and with a stern voice told her: "You're not leaving anywhere, Kyle."
Cassie wasn't surprised he had these little tantrums now and then as she rolled her eyes and looked at him: "Look here, West, you don't tell me what to do, let me leave I'm not in the mood to play games I-"
Before Cassie could speak, Edwin rested his head on her shoulder, which it made her ticklish. He sighed and groaned: "Please, just stop talking. You don't know how worried you made me. " he lifted up his head, and Cassie was shocked and stuttered
"What are you doing, West?! You bucko! Imma kill y-
Edwin cupped Cassie's face and started getting close
Cassie started feeling uneasy as she looked to the side: "Edwin, what are you-
Edwin started stroking her cheek. He then reached towards Cassie's lips as he gulped and looked at Cassie (he's 182 cm and she's 154 cm) and smirked: "Push me away if you don't like it"
Cassie was dumbfounded by his response. What did he mean? But she got her answer
Edwin moved his left hand towards her cheek and his right skin to her waist and pressed his lips against her
Cassie's eyes started to widen since she didn't expect this kiss, but it felt so good, so she didn't push him as her hand slowly moved to his chest
Edwin was moved by his worry and desire. He didn't care that this could ruin their friendship he grabbed the back of her head with his left hand, deepening the kiss while his right hand started to pull her waist against his body
Cassie started to get back to reality. This was her long best friend? Well kinda, they mostly fought every second. on earth, they were mortal enemies, but since they arrived in this world, they were like acquaintances? She couldn't even describe their relationship. They really hated each other guts, but this proved something else.
Cassie thought to herself, maybe he was sick, drugged, poisoned as she tried to pull herself from the kiss, even tho her body wasn't reacting that way
Edwin noticed that she was trying to free herself from himself, and he grabbed her whole face and kept kissing her it was more than a sweet kiss he started growling Cassie wrapped her arms around his neck and started kissing him back she was also hungering for him but she once snapped back in reality and pushed Edwin as she was huffing for breath
Edwin huffed also, his face was also flushed, it wasn't like him, after all he was a gentleman, a bad boy in mischief but he always respected the ladies, he wasn't a play boy, Cassie was confused
Edwin smirked as he lift up her chin and licked his lips as with a taunting voice said "Guess I'm not a bad kisser"
Cassie's face was color red and speechless
Edwin leaned in for another kiss but Cassie stopped him
Cassie looked away, embarrassed, she looked she would cry. "This isn't us. You know it well, we're supposed to hate each other, be at each other's throats, not making out"
Edwin looked at her with a serious face as he hold her face with his right hand: "What if i don't want that?"
The library was in silence, there was nobody but them, outside it was raining
Cassie face started streaming tears, Edwin was in shocked as he began to stutter "I- I'm sorry i didn't mean to force you to kiss me...I-I"
Cassie looked embarrassed at the ground: "it's not that silly" she looked up at him, she caressed his lips and finally looked right straight at him "I didn't dislike it"
Edwin grabbed her hands off his chest gently "I'm sorry, you must've been confused"
Cassie turned his head towards her gently "Tell me, why did you kiss me? To mess with me?, why not Alina?!"
Edwin was mad at her response. How could she be so clueless! "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, YOU IDIOT!" He grabbed her shoulders gently."In this world, I want to be with you! I don't care about the other realities! I'm tired of trying to look for the same partner. When they don't even exist anymore!" He sighed because he knew that in Cassie's heart, there was another man. It was useless trying to convince himself. Yet he confessed, "I felt for you for the moment I laided my eyes upon you, i tried to convince myself i wasn't in love, you were so caught up on how we looked on other worlds and who we ended up, i know we fight! And i hate you!" He holds her head."But you started driving me crazy, I just couldn't. your tenacity, your stubbornness,I just couldn't ignore it, I fell even harder when you nursed me, and that time in the cave lagoon, I just... being near you made go wild! With thoughts I shouldn't have! You know it's not like me to be like this! But I wondered how your skin felt, how would you look in white? Would we have kids? And it started creeping me out from the inside because you're insufferable!"
Cassie's was shocked, Edwin stayed silent, watching her face shocked, sighed. He just ruined it, everything went down, and she would never talk to him he left go of her shoulders and was ready to walk away
Cassie grabbed his hand as tears kept streaming down her cheek, Edwin leaned towards her and started licking her tears away, he came back to reality, his wolf inside him made him go crazy as he was feeling guilty "Cassie I'm- what are you doing? Cassie started placing his hand on her chest where her heart was
Edwin's face was red as he tried to take his hand of her chest
Cassie looked at him "Do you feel my heart?" Her heart was beating like crazy, looked how the tables turned as she put her hand on his chest and smiled a bit "Apparently I'm not the only one that's gonna break the heart monitor"
Edwin was silent and speechless, Cassie placed her right hand on his cheek while he felt home with her closing his eyes
Edwin "Kill me if you must"
Cassie chuckled a bit, but her voice cracked, and she kept stroking his cheek. "How could I do that to the man I love?"
Edwin eyes opened in shock. He wasn't expecting her to have the same feelings he discarded the possibilities of her accepting his feelings as a 3% and began to stutter. "I...I..."
Cassie chuckled. Was this the man who just pinned her against the wall and shared a fiery kiss ? She was planning on teasing him but not without confessing her feelings back. "I know I've been obsessed with finding my other half, but then I realized even after I hated you, you on earth we fought a lot, whether it was being on first place or having better grades and we had rivalry, I hated seeing you in this world surrounded by princesses! Royals, goddesses, fairies, any species! And I hated just the feeling of you being with someone else. Is it greedy of me that I want you all by myself?
She started caressing his lips and looked at him. "That I just want to feel you? And I want to be the only one who sees this -" Her left hand started moving from his abdomen slowly moving towards his chest
Edwin was uneasy and caught up in the mood, yet he was waiting for what she would do. He loved this, that he had control over, and she had the control over him
Cassie pulled his lower lip a bit down as she started pushing him slowly against the arms of the sofa and raised up a bit, considering his height being on her tip toes and "this side of you" she pressed her lips against his as she was pressed against his body with one hand holding his head and the other one against his fine chest"
Edwin corresponded back to that kiss as he held her waist tightly to him. There was no going back. He hungered for her as she was hungry for him, yet it wasn't a deep kiss. It was a kiss they both longered for, it was a pure kiss.
Cassie stopped kissing him only to see Edwin's face bewitched, and she chuckled. "Who would have guessed this is how you tame a beast?"
Edwin chuckled back as he started playing with her hair. "Don't push your luck, Kyle," as he rolled one of her strains of hair and smelled it and placed a soft kiss on it "I know other ways to drive you crazy as well"
Cassie smiled shyly, Edwin was crazy over her and kissed her forehead and smiled as she gazed at the ground. He proceeded to lift her chin from the ground. "So what now, Kyle, does this beautiful vampire accept to mine?" He stuttered in his words."I mean...do you wanna be my mate? Wait, no, that's wrong. You're not a werewolf, and I wouldn't sleep with you unless we're married. " He started turning red as Cassie couldn't stop laughing he was cool yet right now he was losing it
Edwin smiled because he knew she understood him he grabbed her hands and looked at her. "Would you like to become my girlfriend? Of course, we'd date to get married...you know like on earth." He placed a kiss on her hands."Would you grant me that wish, princess?"
Cassie smiled. "I'd love that, my sweet prince"
Edwin smiled brightly as he lifted up in the air and hugged her tightly, twirling her in the air as he moved a strand of hair of her face and smiled. "I love you Cassie, I meant it"
Cassie grabbed his face, "and I love you too, Edwin."
Edwin sat with her on the sofa as they watched the fire in the fireplace, and they locked hands together
Cassie placed her head on his shoulder as Edwin covered her with a blanket "You know in earth how Bella chose Edward?" She smiles "I always thought that if I was in her place I'd choose Jacob"
Edwin chuckled. "Oh sweetie." and kissed her forehead as he cuddled her "I think this is a perfect beginning".
The end! Gave closure to my ocs!
Cause they had a different story with different people and they had the most wholesome relationships but stuff happened to their story changed and well I think it's cute!
Never in my mind I thought they'd end up together ❤️ but lookie here so their love conquered all, any questions you can DM me or if you'd like to draw them either way thanks for reading!

🐚 A Birthday Amidst the Archipelago
Tumblr media
A/N: oneshot for my fav russian boys bday, i included the golden apple archipelago bc it was the most fun event/area I've experienced in genshin so far and I'll miss it a lot but at least it's inazuma and electro aether time, anyways hope you enjoy this and if you have suggestions/tips on writing or anything please lmk! I'm new to it all and I'm trying my best ;w; my friend proofread this tho and shes big brain so id say this one is pretty swaggy
→ pairing(s): Zhongli/Childe, Aether/Venti (kinda platonic tbh), Venti and Dvalin vibing
→ word count: ~ 3k
→ cw: alcohol
→ ao3
🏖️
Zhongli sensed a large being coming from the skies of Duyun Ruins. He did not want to believe it, but his doubts were soon confirmed.
Dvalin descended from the clouds with a heavy thud, sending the living creatures around either running or flying. Mounted on the Dragon of the East were Venti and Aether; The bard wore a pair of sunglasses and a light attire that shocked Zhongli to the core, he had thought the anemo archon could not get any more ludicrous, but it appears he was mistaken.
A slight frown grew on his face watching the scene and the geo archon couldn’t help but raise his palm to his face, sighing. On the flip side, Childe was astonished; his eyes sparkled observing Dvalin, considering what the outcome would be if they were to fight.
2 days earlier
“Traveler,
It has been some time since we last saw each other. I do hope your ventures are going smoothly.
I am writing to you to request assistance with an event that will take place two days from now. As you may know, Childe’s birthday is on the 20th of this month and I have been finding it hard to come up with a suitable gift. I wish to surprise him but nothing that fits my criteria comes to mind, in addition to the fact I am still adjusting to mortal life and their festivals.
If you do not mind and, of course, if you are free that day, I hope you can help me with this matter.
Zhongli”
After sending his letter to Aether, Zhongli straightened his shoulders on the stool at one of Heyu Tea House’s tables, raising a cup of steaming tea to his mouth, and waited for his guest to arrive.
“Receiving an invitation from Mr. Zhongli first sure feels nice,” a voice shouted coming from the stairs.
Zhongli glanced at the harbinger who took a seat by his side, “Childe, do you have any plans for your birthday?”
Childe widened his eyes slightly, “Birthday?” He raised his hand thoughtfully to his face. “Oh, my birthday! Hm… Is Mr. Zhongli planning on giving me some type of gift?” The harbinger smiled playfully.
“Please answer my question.”
“Nope! None at all.”
In actuality, Childe should be busy taking care of the Fatui’s business around Liyue; unfortunately for his underlings, he was going to do whatever he wanted either way. Additionally, he had a feeling Mr. Zhongli’s question was not trivial, and speculated the archon probably wanted to make plans.
“I see."
Unexpectedly, instead of proceeding on that topic, Zhongli said nothing more as he took another sip of his tea.
Despite the surprising lack of further development, he forgot about it as soon as Zhongli started to talk about a Ruin Hunter he encountered the prior day in the fields.
He knew by now what topics intrigued Childe's simple warrior mind, and that alone had Childe rambling about fighting tactics and his own experiences to Zhongli, occasionally trying to convince the archon to fight him, which he politely refused.
Meanwhile, at the Golden Apple Archipelago...
"I could really use a hand over here, Venti!" Aether's cry for help could barely be heard over the shrieking group of hilichurls advancing one after the other.
"But I-"
After unleashing a wind vortex from his palm, Aether glared at the bard, who was leisurely plucking the strings of his lyre on top of a rock. "Playing a battle song isn't helping!" He cut Venti off, resulting in the end of Venti's untimely concert with lots of whining.
After jumping off the rock, the bard shot an arrow that sent the group of monsters flying altogether.
The pair had a short-lived moment of relief, but soon the eerie sound of a horn was heard, indicating that more enemies were on their way. Aether groaned while Venti giggled nervously, and so, they had to return to their combat stances.
Not long after engaging, the traveler heard a short sound that made him stop his blade.
“Oh, I’ve got mail,” Aether walked a few steps from the fighting, reading the message while leaving the bard to get the monsters’ attention.
Venti's eyes widened at the sudden rush of monsters coming directly at him, though luckily, he sent them flying once again.
“Woah~ Don’t do that so suddenly, traveler, so mean!”
After reading Zhongli’s message, Aether was deep in thought, looking around as if searching for something, until his eyes met the green-colored ones of the anemo archon that reciprocated the eye contact, with a touch of wonder.
Zhongli opened the new mail he received, analyzing the few words Aether had sent.
“Meet us by Duyun Ruins at 9 in the morning, bring Childe with you.”
“Meet us? If I am not mistaken, Paimon has been staying with Xiangling, and didn’t show any signs of wanting to leave any time soon. Perhaps she can easily travel back and forth,” Zhongli thought to himself.
Present Day, Duyun Ruins
Jumping from the dragon’s back, Venti beamed, “Morax! Long time no see~!” Arms wide open as he threw himself towards his old friend. But before he got too close, Zhongli shielded himself, and instead of a hug, Venti’s face was compressed against the solid surface of the geo shield.
Venti staggered a step back from the impact, raising his hand to his cheek, now starting to swell, “Ow!” He pouted.
Zhongli tried to keep his cool, throwing a look at the two boys who recently arrived,waiting for an explanation.
Aether catches on the meaningful gaze and reassures, “Don’t worry, I think we avoided being noticed by anyone.”
“Yeah, Dvalin here is… Well, he tries to be discreet when flying around. After all, I was the one who taught him that~" Venti put a hand on the dragon's body while the other gave Zhongli a thumbs up.
"Saying you were the one who taught him does not reassure me one bit…" Zhongli’s veins were protruding from distress by now. "Aside from that, aren't you supposed to be more careful not to expose your identity in front of the common folk?"
The three other men stared at Zhongli in confusion, exchanging looks between themselves, "Common folk?" Venti asked. Childe was the first to realize he was probably talking about him and began laughing at the Zhongli's seemingly forgetfulness.
"Morax, you sure only remember what you want, huh. Even I know from the traveler's stories that this boy here is the eleventh harbinger of the Fatui. If that harbinger lady took my gnosis, I'm sure this kid knows my identity by now," Venti reassured while Aether slowly nodded, feeling second-hand embarrassment.
Zhongli was at a loss for words, raising his fist to his mouth, awkwardly coughing. On the other hand, the harbinger found the situation quite funny and patted Morax's back a few times while giggling.
Zhongli met Aether's eyes, "Nevertheless, what I desire to know is why that bard and his dragon are here?"
"Well, you’ll see when we get there," Aether reassured, getting back on the dragon's back along with Venti.
Childe cheerfully jumped on, extending his hand down to the geo archon who bashfully accepted, pointedly ignoring the meaningful grins the two other boys directed at him. And with little effort, Dvalin took off to the Golden Apple Archipelago.
The Snezhnayan boy's eyes gleamed with excitement from his first-ever experience that high up, sitting between behind Aether and in front of Zhongli.
Though, his laxity almost made the reddish mask on his hair fly away, luckily being rescued by the man behind him.
"Thank you!" The powerful gushes of wind made his words difficult to understand, yet enough for Zhongli to understand them.
If any normal person would travel through the clouds in the back of a dragon for the first time in their life, surely they would practice caution or be a little wary of their surroundings.
However, because Childe was Childe, an expert in adapting fast to just about anything, the journey on the skies was far from frightening.
A few minutes had passed and the boys were already close to their destination, and with his usual carefree expression, Venti looked back at the men behind him, yelling as Dvalin descended, "Hold on tight!"
With another loud thud, Dvalin settled at the northwestern part of Twinning Isle. Aether grew anxious in anticipation, waiting for Childe to see the preparations that he and Venti had come up with in such a short timeframe.
They had the inspiration from Alice's surprise for Klee, though not as crafty as she was. With the help of Tubby back in the Serenitea Pot, he managed to decorate the place nicely with newly crafted objects.
Umbrellas and chairs painted a light shade of sky blue sat next to fishing rods, Sea Ganodermas and conches decorated the sand in a path leading to a gazebo, which had seashells and starfishes hang from the wooden ceiling, surrounded by curtains.
And inside of it, one chest stored miscellaneous things, while the one next to it contained something that Venti declared extremely necessary: summer clothing he managed to acquire. In addition to the clothes he prepared, the anemo archon was also tasked with providing the food and drinks.
Visibly so as there were at least three bottles of either dandelion or osmanthus wine for every single dish on the table. Which, of course, was all paid for with the traveler's Mora.
All in all, the table was charmingly organized. A cake with a whale drawn on top of it sat in the middle of it all, while balloons were tied to the wooden table.
Upon reaching the sand, Childe was fascinated. The ocean breeze brushing against his face, the warm sunlight of the Archipelago and the salty waves gently crashing onto the tide united all the scenery together.
He’d never seen such a tropical place in his life, so unfamiliar in comparison to his frozen homeland's weather and features.
Lost in admiration for the scenery, he had already forgotten that it was his birthday, only remembering when Zhongli called out his name, directing him to look ahead where the decorated area was put, in preparation for the celebration to commence.
Venti leaned back against Dvalin's tail, already playing a melody, as the other three walked along the decorated path.
Aether fastened his steps, going ahead and getting a small box. Then, turning back to the birthday boy, he extended the gift.
"Happy birthday, Childe."
The harbinger let out a small "thank you" before opening it.
His blue eyes twinkled as he grabbed the content inside the box for closer examination. It was a bright piece of wood with a smaller version of him, Teucer and Aether drawn on it, as well as a ruin guard, or “Mr. Cyclops” as his little brother would say, stood behind them.
Without thinking, Childe embraced Aether tightly with a wide smile across his face, and at the display of the ginger’s excitement, the traveler couldn't help but feel accomplished.
After the gift was exchanged, Venti pointed out the clothes he had prepared, which made Zhongli flinch at the thought of wearing sunglasses as eccentric as his. Luckily, they were just lighter clothes, not accessories.
Childe, already excited from the exotic scenery, went on ahead to change his clothes behind a tall rock.
Zhongli and Aether walked towards the same location, at a much slower pace than the Snezhnayan boy, who was already out of sight.
“Thank you for your efforts, traveler. You managed to surprise me as well,” Zhongli finally got the chance to say.
“It was no problem at all. I’m having fun and the ‘tone-deaf bard’ was a great help, too.”
Childe emerged from behind the rock suddenly, wearing shorts and a shirt that was presumably supposed to be buttoned up. As a matter of fact, all the attires were of a similar design, the few differences being their color schemes, a few patterns, and the boy’s usual accessories.
Before any reaction, they heard monstrous noises getting closer to the shelter. A group of hilichurls nearby seemed to have been alarmed by the dragon’s arrival.
Something inside Childe’s mind clicked and he immediately turned the way of the shrieks, getting ready to fight, “Leave them to me!”
“Oh I was counting on that,” Aether affirmed as Venti nodded. Knowing very well of the harbinger’s passion for fighting, they speculated about the attack and gladly attached it to the list of events for that day.
Aether’s words were thrown at no one though, since Childe had left as soon as those four words left his lips earlier, leaving no time to receive any reaction from the others.
Bad luck for those poor hilichurls, honestly.
Childe's hydro blades moved swiftly, leaving droplets in the sand as they slashed one after the other, ending each almost instantly, leaving little space for a counterattack. He only stopped moving when there were no more of the monsters around, either because they were actually all dead or ran away from fear.
Coming back to the shelter’s path, Childe saw that they were now fishing, which made him joyfully run to join them, and noticing that he was back, Zhongli offered Childe a fishing rod and a seat next to himself.
“Oh man, this takes me back to the old days with my dad,” The ginger said while settling down on the beach chair, “Though the temperatures are the complete opposite, haha. I wonder if my family would survive the extreme change in the weather, though.”
Zhongli and Aether listened attentively while holding their rods, all the while, the anemo archon, visibly tipsy, communicated with Dvalin nearby.
“How come you managed to adapt this easily to the sudden climate change, Childe?” Zhongli asked.
“A warrior must always adapt to any situation. If I let the heat get the best of me, I'm weakened, consequently leaving myself open to enemy attacks."
"Damn, he never changes. If it isn't about his family, the answer is always related to being a fighter… Well, it is almost comforting in a way." Aether thought, mentallyrolling his eyes while taking a sip of the drink Venti had given him.
"I see," Zhongli seriously responded, "It is indeed true. Keeping one's body and mind stable is a must when facing laborious challenges."
Childe was filled with joy upon hearing the acknowledgement. It was always pleasant to hear someone who understood his point of view.
The traveler shifted his attention upon feeling a small force pulling down the
rod.
A fish had finally taken the bait, and the eyes of the two men also moved towards him when they heard the small "oh" Aether let out.
They all rejoiced at the successful catch and its size, and the traveler went straight ahead to prepare a meal for them.
As the day went by, they had almost checked everything on the task list; They fished for a while, Aether showed the mechanisms and puzzles that Klee's mom prepared, even landing his Harpastum so Childe could try them, he also taught them how to ride and summon the Waverider, they exchanged various anecdotes, as well as how the traveler came across the Archipelago in the first place, describing the whole Dodo King saga, and finally, filled themselves with food and drinks.
The sun rapidly fell under the horizon, merging the last colored rays of marigold into the indigo night sky. Venti had managed to convince the traveler to drink with him throughout the day and, needless to say, they were quite drunk by now, though both of them had a high tolerance and were somehow still acting civilized.
While Dvalin slept, the four men sat on the sand, listening to Venti sing around the crackling campfire.
When the bard began to sing a piece about Snezhnaya, Childe seemed to have recalled something.
He shuffled through his belongings, grabbing a bottle with a clear liquid, “This was a gift I received earlier, it’s a Snezhnayan specialty alcohol, Fire-Water!”
Aether gulped nervously at the familiar name. He had heard the stories around Mondstadt, how Master Diluc spent three days in bed after drinking a single glass of it, leading to the unsuccessful partnership with the Snezhnayan merchants.
Childe poured the liquid into separate cups and went around distributing them to the boys. Sitting back in his original spot, he continued, “As per tradition, we have to down the cup in one go!”
Venti was all in for the proposal, and despite their concern at first, Zhongli and Aether respected the birthday boy’s wish.
After raising their cups in a toast, they all drank the beverage at once.
Childe cheered, rambling about how he missed the taste of the drink. Zhongli seemed to be unaffected, calm as always, smiling and listening to the Snezhnayan boy.
However, Aether didn’t seem so well, he had expected the feeling, but because of the previous drinks he shared with the bard, it seemed to have had a stronger effect on him.
Aether wasn't the most affected by the drink, though.
That one shot was the ultimatum for Venti. His vision was blurry and he couldn’t stop laughing, which alarmed the others, but before they could take action and ask what was wrong, the archon fell into the sand, a grin on his face as he passed out.
After the realization of what just happened, Aether was the first to talk, “Um, I’ll take him to the shelter. I’m feeling a bit… dizzy too. I’ll get some sleep, haha,” He was making a great effort to sound coherent.
“Hope you enjoyed your day, Childe.”
A sincere smile was directed towards the boy sitting next to Zhongli. That expression warmed Childe’s heart. Aether had put great effort into this whole day and he could tell.
Childe was about to open his mouth to say something after the traveler turned his back to them while carrying Venti, but was stopped by the blonde, “Oh, there’s something I forgot to say. If you go west from here you will find another island with a shipwreck on top of the, um… Rock structure thing. It’s a good place to watch the stars. Anyways, hehe, good night.”
That piqued the two tall men’s interest, and after watching Aether and Venti enter the shelter, Childe looked at Zhongli, who was already standing up, as if he shared the same idea as the other.
A short cruise to the Nameless Isle later, Zhongli and Childe were already walking side by side through the tide, leaving steady footprints on the sand’s surface.
When the two stopped to both admire the place and look for a way to get to the top of the rocky mountain, Zhongli noticed a mural on the rock, which showed a shipwreck and what seemed to be a few people trying to save each other.
The archon was pondering about the meaning of it when he heard Childe’s voice from behind him.
“Mr. Zhongli, there’s a wind current over here!”
Zhongli went to the other’s location, noticing the current that led to the top of the mountain.
Without much effort, both of them got to the original destination: The shipwreck Aether mentioned.
It was indeed a tragic but beautiful place; a place where one could watch the azure starry sky, pale moon glowing brightly.
The two found a spot to sit near the ship that once sailed the seas, and watched the galaxies above them.
Childe offered another shot of the Fire-Water, which the both of them shared. Zhongli closed his eyes, deep in thought.
He had been trying to find the chance to give Childe his birthday gift, but he couldn’t find the opportunity to do so. Finally, now seemed like the perfect time.
He reopened his eyes and stared at Childe, who was watching the sky attentively, blue eyes shining unitedly with the stars.
“Childe.”
Upon hearing his name, he turned to look at the archon.
“Give me your hand,” Zhongli said, reaching his own towards the harbinger.
Childe automatically did so, and after searching for an object on the pocket of his shorts, Zhongli put the present on the other’s palm.
It was a single earring made of Noctilucous Jade and Cor Lapis, in a similar fashion as the one earring Childe normally wore.
“This reminded me of you when I saw it. If you do not wish to wear it, I understand, but I do hope you could keep it with you.”
Zhongli said that but the harbinger was already taking off his original earring, making the archon a bit embarrassed at the impulsiveness of the boy, yet very pleased.
Childe had been rambling about the, now, old earring and how he had gotten it in the first place, but after a while of no response from Zhongli, he gazed at him, being met by the image of the geo archon fast asleep.
Zhongli had a high alcohol tolerance, but with the nightfall, his drowsiness had grown to an almost unbearable level, and now, he was finally subdued by it.
Ajax couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his chest, his expression softened and he decided it was time for him to rest too.
He had never had a better birthday in his life.

Hey I know you're probably swamped with requests, but I figured I might as well ask. If you're up for it can you do a RFA+ reaction hc thing for the RFA walking in on MC dancing and singing to Careless Whisper? I love that song so much and I'm always singing it when it comes on now matter where I am lol thanks!
Hi hello this is so long overdue I’m so sorry. You were like one of my first requests. This was honestly so much fun to write and you got me into Careless Whisper so bad I literally listened to the 10 hr version bc I needed to listen and also I loved it so thank you so much. I hope these scenarios are good! I tried to mix some things up so they weren’t all the same but I hope you like them nonetheless! 
Zen:
Tumblr media
As the music dies something in your eyes calls to mind a silver screen and all it’s sad goodbyes
Some backstory: he had to learn this song for a performance, he has a routine and everything and he remembers all of it
But he puts the choreography this time and when he walks in after hearing the song and your door being cracked open
He’s a little surprised to see you fluidly dancing around the room with an invisible partner and when you switch to “playing the sax”, he has to stifle a laugh
He doesn’t know how you haven’t noticed him standing in your doorway yet
But he crosses his arms, leans on the door frame, and watches you with the softest expression on his face and love in his eyes
You eventually spot him out of the corner of your eye and are only a little startled
Definitely didn’t fall on your butt or anything 
Zen chuckles and walks over to you, holding out his hand
As you take it, he restarts the song on your speaker and takes the place of the “invisible” partner you were so lovingly dancing with before
Seven:

I should have known better than to cheat a friend and waste the chance that I’d been given so I’m never gonna dance again the way I danced with you
Maybe it’s better this way we’d hurt each other with the things we want to say
As soon as he walks through the door, he hears the first few sax notes and he rushes towards you, whips out a sax, and proceeds to play the entire solo
This is the only thing he knows how to play on the saxophone, trust me on this
You’re loudly mouth singing the sax solo in various “Bow now now now”s and bouncing across the floor
Alternately
He’s always taken the lyrics to heart, especially when it comes to you
So when he walks in on you singing and dramatically acting and dancing along with the lyrics, he starts to hum along and eventually makes his way into your arms
You sway together and hold each other just as tightly as the other
You know
If he’s in a more lighthearted mood (or feels more sure in your relationship), the two of you dramatically act out the song together, not really taking the lyrics to heart
The surveillance camera in the living room captured it all
Yoosung:
Tumblr media
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind
I feel so unsure as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
He’d been back and forth between playing LOLOL and studying for his upcoming finals
And man are finals brutal
You know that
He knows that
And tbh between all the commotion, it feels like he hasn’t spent time with you properly
Quick meals, a peck on the cheek as one of you rushes out the door, and legs sometimes brushing if you’re both at the kitchen table studying together
So when he rips off his headphones and lets out a long sigh, he realizes all he really wants to do is hold you in his arms
The trickle of music is playing from your room and he can’t help it so he sneaks on over and when he sees you swaying with your arms wrapped around yourself and singing the lyrics, he’s just in awe at your beauty and how you somehow seem so easygoing
He sways himself over to you to the sound of your voice and lightly taps your shoulder
He’s standing very close
Half of it is just that he wants to cover his blushing face
As your singing falters, his picks up with the lyrics and he wraps his arms around you
A wide grin breaks out on your face as you wrap your arms around him and the two of you spin yourselves around the room, laughing, singing and yelling the lyrics, and at the end, falling onto the bed
You both try to catch your breath but your soft giggles take much more air than expected
You roll over and throw an arm over his waist and he cups your face gently in his hands, looking at you with love in his eyes and blush over his cheeks
You both hum the chorus until you fall asleep
Jumin:
Tumblr media
I’m never gonna dance again guilty feet have got no rhythm though it’s easy to pretend i know you’re not a fool
He’d been away on yet another business trip and no matter how much you tried, he insisted that as much as he’d love you to, it’d be better and safer for you at home
It was only a week
A week without you
It’s fine
….
It wasn’t fine
You sent texts rapidly to each other and calls when you could
You were even able to get a few video calls in
On the fifth day of his trip, he could hardly take it anymore
It took all his self control just to not fly back to you immediately
Somehow five days felt more like months
He called you to video chat late that night
He expected that you’d answer
What he didn’t expect was for a blaringly loud sax solo to come bursting through his laptop speakers
He was shocked to say the least, but then he settled for looking at you in admiration through the screen
“…Guilty feet have got no rhythm!! Up, my love, you’re dancing with me!”
He thought it best not to argue, but he wasn’t about to go waltzing around his hotel room with his laptop in his arms
….
Until that’s exactly what he started doing
If he couldn’t hold you, then this would have to do
“MC, would you please move your face closer to the camera?”
You did so quizzically, still singing out the words in heavy breaths from dancing around your room
Once you realized he practically had you in his arms (as much as he could long distance), you quickly picked up your laptop as well and spun round and round as Jumin did the same
Your face flushed knowing he missed you as much as you missed him and as your motions slowed you blew him a kiss and he acted as if he caught it through the screen, even if he was hundreds of miles away
He made sure for every time he was away for long, he’d call you and the two of you would pick up your laptops and dance with each other to this song
(Also I picked this GIF bc I liked how they were different colors and separate so it kinda gave the vibe that they’re together but in different places, ye?)
Jaehee:
Tumblr media
We could have been so good together we could have lived this dance forever
The song had come on in the coffee shop, in the middle of your shift
*LOUD GASP*
“MC, what’s wrong????”
Baehee is confusion
You don’t startle too many customers
Tbh they find it kind of funny and it gives the cafe some personality
Jaehee admires how much of the song you knew and just watches in
She hadn’t heard it until today, but she makes sure to slip it into the cafe playlist more often than not, just to see your face light up the same every time
You catch on eventually to what she’s doing and while you’re both closing down one day, the song comes on
You’re facial expression turns determined and you oh so gracefully rip her away from whatever task she’s doing and guide her to the cleared space
You make that face, like you’re up to something but she finds it humorous and goes along with it
You twirl her and move your way around her like it’s a performance, belting the lyrics and dramatically recreating the “scenes”
It makes her giggle and she hums along to the tune
She glides her hand from your elbow down to your hand and holds it tenderly with her own
She won’t admit that the two of you didn’t get out of the cafe until about midnight but what’s a girl to do when all she wants to do is hold you and see you smile?
