ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤhear me outㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤsituations where he felt humiliated while explaining himself ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwanderer, cyno, kaeya, heizou !
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤwanderer !ㅤ
(may be considered a little suggestive ???? kuni likes your thighs!! basta yon putek)
in his defense, it's normal for a loving boyfriend to tweet about his partner on his private account, right ? he's just flexing you !
kunxzhi tweeted: "i want to bite [name]'s thighs archons send strength" kunxzhi tweeted: "archons im no soldier im going feral for them"
he stared at his tweet notifications that displayed on your screen as you held your phone up in front of his face, giving him the most 'this you ?' look humanity has ever seen
no, you weren't mad, you were flustered actually. but you're not used to him thinking about you like that, you thought you were the one thinking about him like that
"you wanna like... elaborate, babe ?" you spoke, setting your phone down on the counter as you leaned with one arm against it, the other resting on your hip in a sassy manner, staring him down. at this, kuni got even more nervous, tugging at the collar of his loose tanktop and mustering up a crooked smile
"i uhm..... hehe ?" why the hell did he 'hehe' ?!
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤcyno !ㅤ
please, he did NOT mean to stare at you so much, his eyes following you like a predator, and you weren't even doing anything
you were just wearing one of his shirts with an apron tied around your waist, circling the kitchen while cooking. it wasn't anything like..... ok maybe because you were wearing his shirt and it was loose so you looked absolutely darling in it, but archons forbid the day he has to admit that
he didn't even realize he was staring until you were waving your hand in front of his face. "cyno ? darling ?" he snapped out of his trance as his lips parted, the words ready to spill out for his response, but he felt the way your hand rested on his chest softly
that hand on his chest, along with the way you looked up at him, he is about to have a meltdown
"cyno ? you've been staring at me for a while now.." "eh...." how does he even explain himself in this situation when there was absolutely no prominent reason he should be staring in the first place ?
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤkaeya !ㅤ
you've scolded him about drinking on several different occasions by now, and yes, he respects your concerns and he has limited his visits to the local tavern ! but, he needs to let of some steam sometimes
tonight was one of those nights where you allowed him to go to the tavern, giving him a curfew of course
and he arrived on time to his curfew ! just... very messily...
there was a knock on the door, and to your relief, it was your boyfriend ! but, vomiting in the plant bed by the door when you opened up to him knocking. he looked up at you, wiping off his chin as he gave you a guilty, crooked smile. only for you to narrow your eyes and glare at him in return, expectant of an explanation, yet only receiving a nervous chuckle from the male still hunched over on the doorstep
may the anemo archon give you patience to deal with this charming but stubborn man
"you're sleeping on the sofa tonight." "aw love, how cruel !" "you smell." "well, true, but —"
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤshikanoin heizou ! ㅤ
you two had developed a morning routine that you were both used to. you would make him some food that he can take with him, whether he's leaving for work or personal training, and he would come home at the end of the day with some random trinket and a kiss
but today, he came home with a broken leg. actually, you had to pick him up at work because he couldn't even walk
his eyes glued to the wall or the floor when you stood in front of him, waiting for an explanation that he couldn't give. it wasn't that it was bad, it was just humiliating. but to his dismay, you asked his coworker instead
"did he sprain it while practicing his stunts ?" you questioned one of his office peers, receiving a sympathetic laugh in reply. "it's ironic actually, we thought so too." they replied, making you raise your eyebrow. "then if not from that, what happened ?" "he tripped while walking into the office."
color drained from his face and his dignity dropped to the floor, making a hole for him to crawl into — not actually, but he wished
as you stepped out of the office, carrying him on your back, you planted a kiss to his cheek as he hid his face in your shoulder
"no need to be embarrassed, idiot."

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤcome back, come homeㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhow much do they miss you when you're gone ? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwanderer, kokomi !
Tumblr media
"anonymous order; ...may i request just a tad bit too much with wanderer and kokomi ( im manifesting ) ? — message cut."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤfor a fellow manifester, let's get them !!! ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthanks for requesting enjoy ! xoxo ♡

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤwanderer !ㅤ
due to trying to focus on his studies at the akademiya, he often finds himself losing time to spend with you. where instead of melting into your warmth as he drifts off to sleep with you in his arms, he'd end up falling asleep while studying for a long test at his desk. where instead of waking up to you kissing his cheek and cupping his face, he'd be waking up to the pages of his textbook sticking to the sweat on his forehead.
he's not the only busy one in your relationship though, as a matter of fact, you might be the busier one.
from constantly having to deal with wandering fungi in an area you were tasked with clearing, to spewing curses under your breathe while charging into eremite camps under a commission. those fungi infestations aren't just going to fade away by themselves, those damned treasure hoarders won't leave the ancient ruins alone.
you're stuck with taking commissions all around sumeru. and poor kunikuzushi is stuck at his desk, worried sick and repeatedly tapping his foot on the ground and clenching the pen in his hand hard, - he wants to help you on those expeditions so bad. - glaring at the words on his paper as if they read insults to him.
so when nahida stepped into his room one afternoon, while he was studying, and announced your return from another expedition, he stood up from his seat so fast that his chair nearly fell over as he rushed out to finally see you.
"[name] ?" he called out as he turned to last corner before entering the sala, and there you were, seated comfortably on the sofa and blowing lightly on the still steaming tea in your hands. you looked up at him with an equally excited smile and set your cup down before standing up.
"kuni, how i missed —" arms wrapped around your waist and you were pulled into his chest, hearing his heartbeat. "i missed you more, i missed you so much more." he responded to your cut sentence, holding the both of you still for a few minutes.
"the akademiya has been hell, and you were gone on a week-long expedition, i was barely surviving here." you chuckled at your boyfriend's words, humming as the two of you pulled away and sat down, his arms still around your waist.
"sorry for being gone for so long, love. i got lost and ended up in an area i wasn't assigned to, those two last days were me being lost and stranded for a bit." "WHAT ?!" "yeah !" "oh don't act like that's the best thing you could've told me about your trip."

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤsangonomiya kokomi !ㅤ
kokomi often finds herself away for long periods of time. be it a need to take a break from social gatherings or drowning herself in plans for the resistance. either way, she considers herself lucky to have such a partner like you.
a partner like you that understands her boundaries and gives her all the time she needs, but knows to check on her as well. a partner like you who considers all her needs. a partner like you who feels meant for her. a partner like you who is just, so patient with her.
she thinks she should teach herself to be as patient as you, because right now, she was fidgeting with her fingers as she waited outside of the medical tent, wanting to tend to your wounds herself.
this afternoon was supposed to be one of those where she waits for you at home, but she couldn't just wait when she was informed that you got injured in the midst of battle. she needed to be there for you, so here she was, waiting outside of the tent as she was told.
"please be patient her excellency, our best on-field doctor is cleaning their wounds." "thank you for taking care of her, general gorou. i just wish i could tend to her myself." gorou frowned in sympathy for the priestess before excusing himself to check on his other troops, giving kokomi the space for her to wait in peace.
soon, the doctor stepped out of the tent, calling for her. "her excellency ?" "here, i am here." "they would like you to come in." and at that signal, kokomi couldn't keep herself together anymore as she rushed into the tent, her eyes finally laying on your bandage littered figure.
"darling !" "sweetheart !" her arms wrapped around you gentle, her cold tears tickling the skin of your collarbone, but you didn't mind as you held her close to you as well. "i'm okay now, see ? i apologize for worrying you my darling. ." you whispered softly into her ear as she hugged you, hiccupping between breathes as her tears still stained your collarbone.
"i missed you so much. i missed you so so much, i was so worried." her voice shook as she sat up, cupping her face as if grounding herself still. "i nearly knocked over a few things when i rushed out after i was informed you were here." you chuckled softly at her concern, taking her hands in yours and kissing each of her knuckles tenderly. "again, i apologize for worrying you, my darling." you spoke again, wiping away the tear stains left on her cheeks as she shook her head with a smile.
"no, don't apologize, i'm just glad to have you here now." she reassured.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤtuck you inㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthe night you didn't sleep, waiting for them ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤmodern heizou, xiao, lisa, ningguang !
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤshikanoin heizou !ㅤ
he didn't mean to stay at his office so late, he was just finishing up some paperwork, begrudgingly, of course. for if he didn't have it all organized in separate folders by morning, his boss will surely not leave him with a moment of peace tomorrow
he huffed, reading through the last page of one document. he figured you were already asleep by now, as he tried to call you an hour ago so you'd know he'll be coming home late, but you didn't answer. surely you'll understand when he explains himself at the door when he arrives later
a ringing from his cellphone interrupted his thoughts. he picked it up to answer while setting the paper in his hand on top of the thin stack in the corner of his desk, bringing the phone to his ear and speaking on auto-pilot
"shikanoin heizou answering, may i ask who's calling ? at such a late hour.." he quietly mumbled the last part to himself, 'please don't be another inquiry' he prayed at the thought.
"zou ?" it was your voice, he didn't need to take a second for it to click in his mind. "ah, [name], why are you calling so late, my dear ?" he asked, his voice immediately getting soft and developed an almost concerned tone. he could hear you shifting in the sheets on your side of the call, you were definitely in bed, he figured. so you probably were asleep when he called, were because now you were awake
"i didn't hear the phone ring when you called, sorry.." you spoke softly, sounding almost tired or groggy. he paid no mind to it, figuring you just woke up. "it's fine dear, i called to say i was gonna come home late, then i figured you were asleep" he explained, signing another paper then adding it to a separate stack on his desk. "i haven't slept, i was downstairs waiting for you and left the phone in the bedroom."
come again ? you haven't slept ? you were waiting for him ?
he paused, subconsciously lifting the tip of his pen away from the paper he was about to fill out to not let the ink leave an obnoxious stain. "what do you mean, you haven't slept ?" heizou didn't want to sound upset, but it was very obvious in his tone and the way you seemed to pause on your end of the call. "i..." you hesitated, he could tell, "i just.. haven't slept ?" he took a deep breathe and exhaled
"i have two papers left to fill out, then i'll put them away in their folders so i can leave them on my bosses desk. i'll be home as soon as i can, dear, mwamwa !" he ended the call when you uttered a rushed 'alright' and rushed to finish his work so he can get home as soon as possible
he didn't want you to stay up any later, it wasn't good for you
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤalatus xiao !ㅤ
he was already on his way home, driving down the practically empty freeway with the playlist you made for him playing on the car's radio. the second he got off his shift, he immediately rushed to his car to get home as soon as possible. he had no data, he couldn't text you to say he'd be coming home late, so he just planned to get home as soon as possible
but to his dismay, it was already late at night, late enough for you to scold him once you open the door for him. he was focused on the road, maybe a little over the speed limit, but there was no one else around it should be fine. he slowed down when the ringing from his phone sounded on the radio of the car because of the bluetooth connection. he pulled up on the side of the freeway and reached for his phone, turning off bluetooth to answer properly. it was you calling, oh archons
"darling, i'm on my way home." he speaks softly, gazing at the stars in the through his window. "it's so late.. why are you so late ?" he sighed at the question, your tone held exhaustion, but he didn't miss the slight sadness laced in it. "i apologize darling, my shift dragged on later than i was anticipating and i couldn't text you." he listened to you humming from your side, "i'm hoping you've slept ?" he questioned, seeing that it was nearly the middle of the night. "ah.." you hesitated, and he raised his brow at this. "why the hesitation ?"
"well, i did try to sleep, at least." "least." he retaliated. "i was waiting for you !" you explained, and to that, he paused. "so you haven't slept, at all ?" he asked slowly, emphasizing on 'at all'. "waiting for you." you added in your defense.
he sighed deeply, shaking his head in disapproval. "darling, it's nearly midnight, why are you up waiting for me ?" he asked, his tone now laced with guilt that he knows shouldn't be there, but he can't shake away. "i was worried, and i can't sleep without you beside me, after all." he couldn't help the smile that tugged at his lips. "then, how about this ?"
he sat up in his seat, getting ready to keep driving, "count the stars until i get home." "why ?" "to keep you entertained, i'll be there in a bit, i promise." "alright, drive safely !"
and with that, the call ended, and his foot stepped on the acceleration

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤlisa minci !ㅤ
oh how she hated these nights, despite how rare they were. these nights that she had to stay at the library late to organize the newly arrived books by order on the shelves. she was almost finished, just one shelf left and she can go home and rest in your arms while you massage her head to lull her to sleep. she had already allowed the rest of her staff to get off shift after helping her finish half of the task
as she climbed down the ladder, she hummed her favorite melody to provide herself some company through sound. she moved the box to the other side of the shelf and picked up the last two books from it, placing them in their orderly places
and with that, she could finally go home
she folded the box and put it under her desk, heaving a breathe of relief and exhaustion. she wanted a moment before heading out, only to be interrupted by a call from her cellphone. archons be thankful it was you
"sweetie~! i was just about to head out of the library, why are you calling so late, hm ?" she questioned, not even masking her excitement to hear your voice already. "just about.. " you paused, yawning — she found it adorable. "why did you have to stay back so late ?"
"we received new books that needed to be organized in their respective sections, so sorry i couldn't call earlier sweetheart." she sighed, leaning back in her chair. "ahh, so that's why.. it's alright, you don't even need to apologize." you were shifting from your side of the call. "why are you calling so late, were you missing me sweetie ?" she asked, adding the last question as a tease, wanting to hear you flustered on call. "i was, actually." and at your admission, it backfired, and now she was the one flustered. "ah, well.." she got cut off when you started speaking again
"i actually haven't slept, that's why i'm yawning so much. i've been waiting for you in the living room for two hours now.." you admitted almost nonchalantly, but this made lisa recoil in her chair
"you've been waiting.. for two hours ?" lisa's tone is almost guilty, but come on. you, her sweetheart, who was equally tired all day, has stayed up waiting for her for two hours ?
you simply hummed in response to her question. "oh sweetheart.." she shakes her head and gets up from her chair, swiftly grabbing her bag and car keys. "i won't let you wait any longer, i'll be there in a few minutes sweetie !"
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤningguang !ㅤ
running an independent business meant sleepless nights were normal to ningguang, but if she could choose a life where all her time could be dedicated to you without any financial consequences, she would without any hesitation. but to support both you and herself, and provide the life she wants for the two of you, she needs these sacrifices. besides, when she's done enough to never worry about buying you the most expensive things for simple dates, it'll be worth it in her eyes
she stapled the last two documents of the night before putting them away in their folders, pinning them under an organizer at the corner of her desk as she took out her cellphone to try and call you
and a smile pulled her lips up when you answered almost immediately. but it did make her wonder, you were definitely awake prior to her calling, but why so late ?
"ning ?" your voice sounded like a mix of expectance and excitement. "honey," her voice is melodious as she speaks barely above a whisper, "i'm so glad you answered, i was just about to close up the office. however," ningguang paused as she stood up from her chair, picking up her bag and pushing her chair back in place against her desk. you hummed for her to continue, "it seems you were already awake before i called, am i correct ?" the nervous chuckle you let out was enough to confirm her assumption. "why were you awake so late ?" she questioned
she kept the phone to her ear as she walked out of her office, turning off the lights and locking the door behind her. she waved to one of her staff to call her driver for her as she continued her trip to the exit of the building. she stepped into an elevator as you started to explain. "i've been waiting for you, and watching t.v. in the living room, but mostly waiting for you !" ningguang shook her head, glancing at the watch on her wrist, 11:47 p.m.
"it's so late, nearly midnight, you've really been waiting ?" concern is evident in her tone as she spoke, the tap of her heels against the marble flooring as she headed to the exit was all she focused on as you paused on your end of the call
"of course i have, i was worried." you spoke, and she frowned at the noticeable hint of guilt in your voice. a black car pulled up in front of her and she got into the backseat, waving to her driver in acknowledgement. the vehicle started moving, yet ningguang was still thinking about her words
she was touched that you were waiting for her, but haven't you learned from the countless hour-long lectures she'd put you through about how you should always sleep at an earlier hour ?
ningguang sighed, "honey," you hummed, "i do hope you're in bed by the time i get home." she spoke sternly, but she made sure she didn't sound all that strict and kept that soft tone lingering in her voice. "but i can't sleep without you here !" you complained, and ningguang's lips curled into another endeared smile. "then wait for me in bed, simple."
she smiled as you finally gave in to her request and ended the call with a kiss

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤdangerously charmingㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤa gentle reader with a claymore ! ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤtighnari, cyno, kaveh, al haitham !
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤtighnari !ㅤ
it is one of his favorite things about you, how you're so sweet and gentle then unrecognizable when you pull out your claymore. but but, he won't lie and say it didn't catch him off guard the first time you fought along-side him, he was shocked actually ( if it weren't for you throwing a pebble at him to get his attention, he would've been standing there watching you do the work )
can't really blame him though, don't get him wrong, it's just that he didn't expect you to be so.. how should he word this... merciless ?
but he was amazed really, how different you were when it came to beating down eremites — who were, funnily enough, much larger than you, though he doesn't have much place to talk about size does he ? yeah he won't comment on that anymore
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤcyno !ㅤ
see, the first time he witnessed you in battle, he barely had time to react since he was in the same battle that very minute. his initial reaction beforehand was to pull you behind him, only for you to strike first against the eremite that came up from your side. that claymore in your hand had no business being almost as big as him, its size actually irked him
but only when you two successfully finished clearing out the eremite camps in that area did he take the time to comment on it
"i do find it admirable how you wield such an... obnoxiously sized claymore." he didn't know how else to put it, really. but the way he said it made you laugh so hard he actually felt glad he worded it that way, "believe me, i didn't trust myself with it as well," you started, "i suppose i just got the swing of it overtime." along with a swing of your claymore
was that a pun ?
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤkaveh !ㅤ
dumbfounded, stunned, starstruck — both in literal context and in the context of seeing stars after you accidentally hit him with the dull end in the middle of the fight, but he was just standing there ! it's not your fault, really ( and it's you so he doesn't mind all that much )
you had to negotiate with the eremites to give you a minute to drag him to the side so he doesn't get trampled on, legit, they just felt bad honestly
and a few minutes later you trampled them. such a power move
moving on, kaveh admires watching you train and he finds the dynamic in your attacks really well calculated, as long as he's not on the receiving end of them, of course
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤal haitham !ㅤ
he doesn't really have any reaction, more like a click that went off in his mind. he was definitely curious if you were a fighter or not, and what fighting style you trained if you were. so yes, he was surprised and taken aback, but he didn't show it
when you first showed off your fighting style to him, it was during a casual afternoon in which the question bubbling in his mind popped out of his mouth, "say, [name], have you ever fought ?, with a weapon, more specifically."
and a few minutes later, you two were sparring in a random clearing you found in the forest. while he admits you had fairly sharp and trained attacked, and an upperhand with your fighting style, you could use more training
that's all he made a comment about, "you could use more training." just a very straightforward, to the point comment while watching you heave on the ground

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤa heart's reason to beatㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwhat made them fall for you ? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwanderer, cyno, heizou ! ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤfirst part
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤwanderer !ㅤ
he swears it's a pathetic excuse of a reason, but your patience with him was what drew him into you. the way you were willing to deal with how immature and insensitive he was towards you, the way you were so persistent that he could be a good person. maybe it's the idea that you somehow saw some good in him, and actually stayed to help him change
in contrast to others, who heard bad stories about him and stuck to those stories, you were stubborn and wanted to prove those people wrong. you really thought you could fix him, and archons, you actually did — and he had to admit it, he's thankful you did
he was a heartbroken loner and you were into that, what more can i say
and you weren't just patient with him, you were even considerate of him. when he'd shoo you away, you'd give him space but check up on him after a few minutes — which he actually needed. when he'd throw tantrums or lash out on you, you'd give him time to cool off or be alone, then ask him how he feels when he finally comes out of his room
somehow you knew how to deal with him right, and he's never been more grateful for someone. if he could do anything for you to repay what you've done for him, he would
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤcyno !ㅤ
his admiration for you just turned into love over time. even though he had a superior rank to yours, he considered you his equal, and sometimes thought you could be stronger than him
your resilience in combat and how serious you were on the field, be it an actual fight or just a spar, to him it was attractive in a way. especially when it was him you were against, you took him way more seriously than your other sparring partners, he noticed — and he liked that
and not only that, you were good with teams as well. you were cooperative and had a way with formulating strategies on the spot if needed. you'd suit a position of captain or general, he'd think to himself, proudly even
as time passed, he actually started to get butterflies when you'd smile at him after a sparring session. and at that point he realized he had a crush on you
it was not easy focusing on being a general while having a crush, he'd tell you that much
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤshikanoin heizou !ㅤ
how you so easily matched his energy. this man adored you from the moment you first spoke to him !! well, it was him that approached you first, but you were the first to speak up
you were so sly, like the way you introduced yourself was certainly a surprise to him, but your voice along with it too ? archons he was about to giggle like a teenager. and when he had the chance to introduce himself, the way you said his name could've made him melt
the people around you two thought you were already flirting with each other
when he walked away, it took all his strength to not get all giddy in public. it was just, the way he was supposed to be the one to introduce himself the way you did, he was supposed to be the sly one. but you slipped the chance away from him the second you spoke, almost as if you knew what he was going to do
then when he started speaking to you more, you always matched his energy so easily, and it drew him into you more. just the way you were already so casual with him in the first few conversations, like you were already close with him, he liked it more than he would admit !

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤwhat makes a heart beatㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwhat made them fall for you ? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤalbedo, gorou, xiao, kazuha, tighnari ! ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤsecond part
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤalbedo !ㅤ
your voice, even he can't understand why. the first words you spoke to him weren't anything romantic or remotely special, in fact, your first words to him were an apology after you bumped into him one day, on your way out of the knights of favonius headquarters
something about it, something he still hasn't deciphered to this day. perhaps the sentimental route of saying it was what made him turn to you that day ? that if he hadn't turned around to see who that voice was from, he probably wouldn't have known what his soulmate looked like ? no, that sounds too cliché to him, not entirely wrong but just, too cliché
the way he was drawn to your voice like a butterfly to a flower, it's something he tried so hard to study, to understand. he read all the books about romance and law of attraction he could find, nothing explained how he was so drawn to just the sound of your voice
it reached the point where he would take time out of his schedule, cancel appointments and experiments and whatnot, just so he had some time to talk to you. listening to you talk about your day after he had insisted, hearing how you'd laugh so genuinely at a stupid joke he made, archons he could listen to your voice all day, all night, all year-round.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤgorou !ㅤ
your personality, archons were you radiating that day. the day he met you, you were introduced as one of the first aid volunteers for his troops, and the way you introduced yourself and interacted with his soldiers ? it was like an angel blessing humble souls
just something about the way you were almost gentle with how you talked to everyone, the way you seemed genuinely interested in everyone you got to chat with, it was just so precious to him. maybe the fact that the soldiers seemed so at peace talking to you also helped, as he was relieved to see them look like they felt comfort for once
and when you approached him with the warmest, most comforting smile he'd seen in a while, he was so close to melting into putty. he really tried to stand his ground around you, tried to seem serious as a general, but friendly as a comrade. he failed, he was very bashful talking with you for the first time
as time passed, he started to really admire you. the way you were gentle but stern during their training, how caring and considerate you were with everyone around you, and was he delusional or were you especially caring with him ? oh he doesn't want get ahead of himself, but he could swear you were giving him special treatment. actually, he hopes so !
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤalatus xiao !ㅤ
that dear gaze in your eyes. the first time he met eyes with you, he expected some sort of confusion or suspicion to be expressed in your eyes, but no. you stared at him almost mesmerized, he could even say admiration and awe
he wasn't used to a mortal looking at him that way, it caught him off guard. but at the same time, it brought him relief and calmed his nerves. it was just, so warm, so endearing and comforting
he found himself second guessing before acting out on his violent tendencies against monsters, he'd think, 'what if you were to witness that nature of his ?' then he'd remember those eyes of yours
but he'd think again, 'but they'd know it's for a good cause, of course.' he'd reassure himself, and again the image of that look of admiration flashes in his mind. well, it certainly gave him some sort of motivation somehow

your passion for pursuing the goals you set for yourself, and the determination you had to achieve every one. he always found your passion in life inspiring, and whenever you'd go on and on about your ambitions and how you'd rest at nothing to actually reach the heights you set for yourself, he couldn't help but feel the same determination for his own plans in life
but one day in particular, you caught him off guard. he never would've expected to reach your favorite shared spot just to see you crying, curled up in a ball like a child, sobbing. his heart already dropped the second he saw you in that state, it was his first time seeing and hearing you cry, and what's worse ? it shattered when you finally looked up to him, tears stained your cheeks and you had the most heartbreaking expression he'd probably ever seen on someone
when you finally started to talk about it, explaining everything that had happened earlier that day, his mind was clouded with foul thoughts. you were not the kind of person to let words get to you, so to see you like this over something someone said, he doesn't even know what they said but he wants to take their words and shove it down their throat
that day, he realized that no matter how inspired you were, there were moments where you needed him there for you. he realized to himself that he wanted to protect your passion, your determination, and wanted to be a factor to it

how much of a good listener and how genuine you were. at first he only found it endearing, the way you were so easily fascinated by things others would've found boring, the way you listened to every word he said, and the way you paid attention to him and nothing else whenever he spoke
but maybe it was the way you made him feel like he was actually talking to someone, that he wasn't striking up a conversation with a wall. or the way you showed genuine interest in the things he dedicated hours in learning to share with someone else. but either way, talking with you for hours actually made him feel good and warm
as time went by, it became a regular routine for the two of you to meet up somewhere, be it a picnic or a stroll through avidya forest, just so you can chat away for hours. tighnari even found himself reading through topics you happened to mention you were interested in so he can talk about it with you instead of always talking about his interests
his feelings developed through those simple chats, and he realized them when hours went by unnoticed and time was almost paused until you two realized that the sun was starting to set

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤbring me home a poemㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhow did they start dating a poet ? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤxiao, heizou, wanderer, kazuha !
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤalatus xiao !ㅤ
he heard of you from zhongli first, as the man was rambling about one of your shows that he had attended. because zhongli was speaking so fondly of your work, and was basically fanboying over it, he was curious enough to attend with him on your next show.
and now, if he had to admit it, he doesn't like the fact you have to travel away so often. of course he supports your career, and admires your dedication to your work, but he just doesn't like being away from you so often. you can't blame him, he just got attached to you too easily for his liking, especially when your relationship became official
if he could at least be with you on your travels, then he'd accept it of course, but he just can't bring himself to leave liyue for a long period of time, it's the nation he's dedicated to protect after all
the longest your travels last are 2-3 weeks before you return to him in liyue, and archons, those weeks are simply miserable for him
when you started dating, the first time you left for that long was actually a nightmare to him. yes, you told him about it for a few days before leaving, and told him how long you'd be gone, and at first he was okay with it ! he thought, 'this will definitely be okay for me' after a week and a half of you being gone, he was in distress, clouded with anxious thoughts of 'what if something happened ?' 'what if the trip back goes wrong ?' in the end, you had to shorten the span of your last show to get home earlier for his sake
moving on, he's supportive of course ! just make sure to send him letters during your trip to help him rest assured that you're fine
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤshikanoin heizou !ㅤ
funny thing is, he actually met you during one of your performances. you were taking a break after a set and he mustered up all the courage he had to approach you, and lucky for him, you smiled at him before he could say anything. he was about to drop one of the corniest, cringiest pick up lines mankind would've ever heard, thank god shame crept up on him before he could. you two had a normal conversation, he was just asking more about your travels and stuff and how your scheduling works, and eventually he was lucky enough to convince you to have lunch with him to get to know each other more
now that you two are dating, he's still very supportive of your work, always asks for a kiss goodbye before bidding you farewell, but is hesitant to actually let you go. sure his line of work is busy enough to distract him for most of the time when you're off on your travels, but that won't stop him from missing you dearly
the first time you left for a long period of time in your relationship, his performance in work drastically dropped, courtesy of his peers words. when you had the chance to talk with one of them, they even said that on the day you arrived and called him while he was in the office, he dropped what he was doing and rushed out of the office without saying anything. everyone in his office thought there was an emergency or something, only to find out he was just extremely excited to see you again
they had to get used to the prodigy becoming an absolute romantic when you two started dating, but after a while they just teased him about it
whenever you're away for a long time, you better send him letters as well, or at least spoil him with the souvenirs you bought for him once you're back
also, he will actually pick a fight with your manager if they don't give you long breaks after each trip
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤwanderer !ㅤ
he's a wanderer, you're a travelling poet, makes it pretty easy for him honestly. he too, met you during one of your performances in sumeru. nahida wanted to see one of your shows and just had to drag him with her, well now he better thank her. if she hadn't dragged him to that show of yours, he probably wouldn't have met you
while he tried to deny it at first, he found the way you performed very unique and calming, almost like your voice brought a serene melody. he enjoyed every second of every poem you performed on stage, but definitely denied every time nahida would ask him if he was enjoying it
not even he knew what happened, after the show, nahida dragged him to you, had you two chat for a few minutes, then those minutes turned into hours of you two talking over a meal in lambad's tavern
because of him, you actually stayed in sumeru for a while, until the point you started dating ! and since he had no reason to stay in sumeru as he had no occupation, he bid nahida farewell to join every step of your travels
now you two are barely separated, and he's always your number one fan during your shows, even acting like a body guard when you're interacting with fans after shows
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤkaedehara kazuha !ㅤ
he heard of you before you even became popular for your work, so he started following your work early. every published copy of your poem was an investment to him, he fanboys over them and reads them whenever he's free, even reciting them to himself and memorizing them as a hobby
so when he heard you had a show coming up in a nearby nation, he did not let beidou sleep a wink before she agreed to stop by so he could attend the show. while it would delay their planned trip, it was rare for kazuha to make requests, so she cave in and let it happen
she was also the one who went with him, the rest of the crew choosing to rest on the ship or wander around the rest of the nation. and oh archons it was precious to see him smile so excitedly when you stepped out on stage, like a kid seeing their idol
after the show, beidou encouraged him to approach you, but when he hesitated, she just pushed him towards you. thankfully it wasn't enough for him to fall on you, he just chuckled embarrassedly when you looked at him surprised. to his luck, you two got along very well, and you even let him read through more of your archived poems, poems that you don't plan to perform, or poems that you don't perform anymore. when he took a particular liking to one, you ripped its page out of your journal, signed it, and gave it to him ! he was ecstatic, but hesitant to take it, you had to insist for him to actually accept it
as time went by, he attended more of your shows, you got to know each other more, and just shocked the crew after a few months when he announced you two were dating
now, when you started dating, he was even more supportive of your work, even taking leaves from the crew ( with beidou's permission, of course ) to join you on your travels
now it's rare for him to join the crew, but beidou's pretty happy for him !

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤyour number 1 fanㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhow do they reward you for a personal milestone ? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤaether, heizou, kazuha, kaeya !
Tumblr media
first post of my 200 special ! to my dear mutuals, hope these don't disappoint !
@kaeyxs @https-heizou @papiliotao @lovevivi444 @mikacynth @kazumist
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤaether !
he'll admit, he doesn't fully get it, but he's so proud of you ! "nice one love ! so, so proud of you~!"
he knows well how big it is for you, as you take pride in this being something you love to do. so to see you overjoyed over something like this, he can't help but share the joyous energy with you
he wants to give you something, even just something small, to make this all the more rewarding for you — especially if it's something you put utmost effort into. however you want it, he'll give it to you. you want to go on a simple romantic date ? of course, his treat !
he wants you to feel rewarded for even the simplest efforts, and along with a milestone, that while he personally doesn't get, he will celebrate with you just to drown himself more in the priceless smile of yours
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤshikanoin heizou !
now heizou, heizou gets it ! he's watched how you pull all-nighters for this, so he of all people know how special it could be to you. plus, he admires your dedication to it, for it reminds him of his own focus on his work
"well deserved baby," he cups your face in his hands. "so very proud of you~" he pauses to kiss all over your face between each word. his smile grows and matches with his bright lime colored eyes as your hands caress his that remained on both sides of your face
he'll ask if you'd like anything special, but no matter your answer, he will get you something. be it a simple stroll with your hands intertwined or a visit to some place you've mentioned in the past, he wouldn't mind — he just hopes whatever he does organize for you would be to your standards
it's precious to him, that particular sparkle in your eyes when you get excited, he treasures it dearly. so even for the simplest accomplishments, as long as they're a big deal to you, as long as your eyes shine that way, he's ready to celebrate it with you !
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤkaedehara kazuha !ㅤ
oh ? his dearest ? reaching a small yet special milestone ? this calls for a celebration !
"i always told you you'd get far," he smiles softly as he hugs you, humming to the vibration in his chest from your cheery giggles. "you're ready to go even farther." he compliments, playing with your hair as you lay on him now, still heartily rambling about your expectations
watching the way you waved your hands around in a messy, excited manner, the way you'd stop yourself in the middle of your almost incoherent sentences, only to continue on with self reassurance. he found it so endearing, and knew from that point you deserved a little reward
he sits up a bit, pressing his forehead against your own as he lost himself in your eyes, successfully making you pause from your speech as you stared at mesmerizing cherry eyes that stared at yours. he cupped your face with his right hand and closed his eyes, meeting his lips with yours
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤkaeya ! ㅤ
he just got up from a nap, stretching, only for the plush of the sofa he was snoring away on 2 minutes ago to cushion his fall as you pounced on him with distinct excitement. a good morning would've sufficed, but he's not complaining
at first he thinks you were just in the mood to be clingy and affectionate, so he parted his lips to tease you lovingly for it, but pauses when you proudly announced, "i got a milestone, kae !" you sat up in his lap with stars in your eyes and pride in your voice
he replaces his originally, supposed to be, teasing tone with a confused yet encouraging one. "really now ?" he tilts his head up at you, urging you to say more — because, he would hit himself with his own hard punch before he admits aloud, he didn't know exactly what you were referring to, and with the hint of expectance in your voice, he thought you figured he did
"well.. it's kind of personal, and maybe embarrassing," you scratch the back of your neck, "but forget that !! it's a milestone kae ! don't i deserve some reward ?" he chuckles, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you down to lay on him, kissing your temple. "congratulations, love."

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤstupid cupidㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwhat happens when an idiot asks an idiot for crush advice ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤmodern cyno !
Tumblr media
"anonymous order; ....a request for cyno ? anything honestly — message cut."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤloser in love cyno and dumbass wingman tighnari ! ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhope you enjoy, xoxo ♡
Tumblr media
if you asked cyno any childish question relating to romance, be it a crush or if he's ever had a partner at all, the most you get is a blank stare. for someone you may consider a sharp man, the only time he'll ever let you call him dense is when it comes to romance.
because even he can't deny it, he's a loser when it comes to romance.
and when he defends himself on that topic, saying he has at least tried to find a partner before, you can believe him because he has tried. but no one really liked tcg and horrendously timed puns as much as him, poor guy.
sometimes, he's actually rather bitter about his failed attempts at romance, and opts to curse old pal cupid even when they had nothing to do with it.
hey stupid cupid, stop being stupid and make this romance thing work for me.
but, said cupid seemed to take pity on him, and shot an arrow right through his heart the day you were introduced to his life. to say it was love at first sight, well cyno wouldn't really disagree at this point.
" . . . and this, this is cyno. he considers himself the funniest in our group," kaveh snickers at the last few words as he waves two arms in front of cyno to lend your attention to him, "we believe we're entitled to our own opinions, even when some aren't the best." kaveh laughed to himself about his side comment, earning a blank stare from the shorter male, who then looked to you with a completely different look — a look of timidity and hesitation, tossing you a soft but noticeable smile, one of which you returned with your own.
"i'm fond of those with humor, it's a pleasure to meet you, cyno." you extended a hand out for him, waving kaveh off as he gave up in nagging you to go meet the others with him first, opting to lean back on a desk in impatience. cyno nodded at your words, very slowly shaking your hand - goodness, your skin was very pleasant to the touch - and parting his lips to reply, "the pleasure is all mine," with the next words, he swears his lips moved on their own, "a new face, especially one as attractive as yours, is always refreshing from the usually dull surroundings here." with this, kaveh shot him a pointed look, which he only ignored in sake of the way you glowed when you laughed with him.
"well, he's so far proven his claim right." you smirked as you added on to the unintentional mock towards kaveh, laughing even louder as the blonde's expression morphed into an even more comical one. he scoffed at the two of you and threw his hands up in defeat, "fine, let the short guy show you around. i was already being so generous —" "so, how about i finish the job of showing you around ? i assume you're new, after all." "i wouldn't mind !" "huh—i didn't mean literally !-"
Tumblr media
" . . . and then—oh, [name] !" cyno gulps at the way he called out your name, and the pointed look tighnari threw his way did not help. tighnari shook his head and walked over to you first, cyno following behind him in thought.
he's noticing the differences in himself lately, and he's embarrassed whenever he realizes that he's especially different around you. the way he can feel the shift in his mood whenever he sees you, he can hear the difference in the tone of his voice when he talks to you — he can feel the differences, but he doesn't know if he should take them as good signs.
he snaps out of his thoughts when tighnari snaps his fingers in front of his face, earning a laugh from you as tighnari chides him, "you're spacing out again, you didn't even respond to [name] greeting you." cyno shakes his head, "ah.. sorry. good morning [name]." a smile tugged the corners of his lips up again as you waved at him.
he's also noticed that little lingering feeling in his chest, perhaps he should discuss with tighnari about it when he finds the time to, since he's such a know-it-all.
"so anyway, kaveh said he handed you my notes yesterday ?" tighnari turned to you, "he didn't hand me anything, though ?" "ah... that fu—"
yeah, surely it wouldn't hurt to ask tighnari about it.
Tumblr media
"'nari, can i ask about . . something ?" when the two finally went separate ways from you, cyno decided it would be convenient to ask his friend as they walk. "what about ?" tighnari slowed his pace, matching with cyno as they walked up the flight of stairs to their floor. "i've been feeling different lately, mainly around [name]." "don't say more." at this, the two of them stopped in their tracks as tighnari shook his head. observing this, cyno was about to feel guilty, did he accidentally imply something ?
only for tighnari to turn to him and laugh in his face.
"i was waiting for you to accept it and ask," tighnari breathes after laughing for a few seconds, "i didn't think you actually would. guess i owe kaveh 50." "what ?"
"you have a crush on [name], you dense fool." "what ?" tighnari laughs at his friend's expression, "you said you've noticed you've been different lately around [name], right ?" "well, that's not exactly what i said." "it's what it implied, anyway." tighnari started to walk ahead, up the stairs, letting cyno trail behind.
"well we've noticed you've been different around them too, and it's damn well obvious. even al haitham figures it's a crush, and that's al haitham." "and, if it is a crush—" "oh no doubt about it." "do you think i have a chance with them ?" . . .
"come again ?" "do you think i have a chance with them ?"
now, the day that the cyno would be asking if he had a chance with someone was a day tighnari never would have anticipated. never would have been able to prepare for. so what the hell is he supposed to say ???
"who knows, if you flirt with them enough the chances and the stakes are equal." was that a good thing to say, or did he just push his friend to do something stupid ?
"so i just need to flirt with them more ? okay, sounds simple enough." latter, definite latter. "no don't—CYNO"
hey stupid cupid, don't let two idiots give each other crush advice.
Tumblr media
"[name], has anyone ever told you that you're very attractive ?" "cyno, you've told me at least three times this morning."
the change in cyno's very open behavior with you caught you off guard, but he was very cute and dorky about it, so who were you to complain ?
your friends can't agree though, even finding it unsettling.
"ah, i'm sorry. i just like to speak what's on my mind, so whenever i think you're attractive, i just have the urge to say it out loud." "you've had three consecutive thoughts about me being attractive ?" "four actually. but i always think you're attractive, so technically i've lost count."
tighnari held his face in his hands as he sat across from cyno, physically cringing.
hey stupid cupid, give the others a chance too.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤwaiting, missing youㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhow much do they miss you when you're gone ? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤxiao, zhongli !
Tumblr media
"anonymous order; ...can i request just a tad bit too much from the couple questions prompt list with xiao and zhongli ? — message cut."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤso soft for soft xiao tbh . . ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤenjoy ! xoxo ♡
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤalatus xiao !ㅤ
whenever you return by dusk, the sun starting to set over the outline of the water, you always greet him with some sort of question. be it on the lines of 'how was your day, xiao ?' or 'what were you up to today ?', he always gave you a simple answer. most of the time he skips the question and just goes to wrap his arms around you, much needed after a painstaking day of guarding the inn.
but there's one question in particular of yours, that he sometimes hesitates to answer, because he's not entirely sure how to answer. 'did you miss me ?' he did, of course he did. but for whatever reason he could never say it as blunt as anything else. it's a lengthy answer that he doesn't know how to word. — he's not a vocabulary genius.
so sometimes he wishes you could hear his thoughts. so you can hear him think to himself; 'i missed you like i was a lost soul that wandered long abandoned lands, in search of you as if you were the peace and reason my soul needed in order to pass on with no regrets. i missed you like a tree in winter that's lost its leaves, yearning for your warmth in the cold of the thick and ruthless snow.'
his hold around you remained as his face stayed hidden in the crook of your neck with his eyes closed, snapping him back to reality with a hearty laugh. "xiao, darling, your hair is poking me." he pulled his face away, keeping his hold on your waist. you smiled up at him, "well, did you miss me ?" you asked him again, this time, you earned a soft, small, almost unnoticeable smile. reserved just for you. he nodded, "mhm, i did."
for now, just letting you know he did indeed miss you, he was satisfied. besides, the day will come when he finally has the confidence to tell you how much he missed you.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤzhongli !ㅤ
in the years that have passed by, he's come to miss many things, and he's also learned to be patient in waiting. besides, waiting is the most you can do when time passes by.
he waits for your return every single day, greeting you at the door with a pattern that he's developed over the time of your relationship. first, he takes your coat if you wore one that day, then he kisses your forehead as he pulls you in gently by the waist, then he brings you to the sofa where he had set up tea for the two of you prior to your arrival. he asks about your day, and so on into the evening it goes.
of course, you've also developed a pattern with his, which is to ask him at least one or two questions as you step into the door. your favorite seems to be asking him if he had missed you that day, since his words never fail to show sincerity and sway you on your feet.
so, as a pattern goes, he opens the door. "hello darling." he takes your coat and kisses your forehead, pulling you in through the door as he closes it behind you. "did you miss me, hm ?" you asked him as he escorted you to the sofa, earning your favorite breathy laugh from him. "when do i not miss you, darling ?" he sat with you on the sofa as he poured the tea he had priorly prepared for the two of you.
"i missed you like a butterfly would miss a qingxin flower, tasted it once on the highest peak, and as it flew down, it realized it could never yearn for another flower like that one." he spoke as if he recited a poem, but just listening to the tone of his voice as he did, you knew he meant it.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤwrite about us insteadㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhow do they inspire you ? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤcyno, tighnari, venti, albedo !
Tumblr media
last post of my 200 special, this has been so so fun to work on ! this is just a little self indulgent part for the rest of my favorites to be fully honest ehe
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤcyno ! ㅤ
cyno, atleast to you, is the kind of man you may compare to a créme brûlée, which you often do. with his hard, seemingly impenetrable facade, in sweet contrast to his tender softness when it comes to you. everything about you makes him melt like putty, and while he's very proud to hint to the public about your relationship because it gives him the right to show off his darling, he would rather let himself get beat up by lowly eremites before admitting it.
one particular thing you do however, is say how you inspire him. this often leaves him asking himself, how does he ? how does he, an amateur to romance and a fool to your playful affections, inspire you, a writer with an admirable knack for words and an excessive talent in flustering him ?
he figures it's the same way you happen to inspire him. the same burst of motivation he gets from your praise and encouragements, the same urge to do his job well so he can get home to your warm embrace earlier. but, it's you, what about you doesn't inspire him ? you're far more special if he does say so himself, but that's the only idea he has.
and he's not that far off. he inspires your drive for work because you admire his, he inspires your pride in creating because he praises everything you show him.
"you're actually serious ?" he questions, still not fully processing that he's an inspiration to you, mostly because he was flustered. "have i ever been ingenuine towards you ?" you retort simply, meeting eyes with rusty red that looked away out of embarrassment. "no, you're always genuine with me." you smiled, "then i hope that answers your question."
basically you inspire each other. but he will always insist that you inspire him far more, and it turns into a light competition between you two.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤtighnari ! ㅤ
now when it comes to him, it's a very direct, and maybe embarrassing, reason; you have the urge to impress him.
of course, you never fail to do so ! because for tighnari, just the fact that you're a dedicated writer is already impressive to him. it fascinates him when you write, and it's become one of his favorite hobbies to spend a free afternoon reading your pieces.
sometimes you'd retort that he speaks better than how you write, to which he would flick your nose for or something. because really, he means it when he says your writing is gold.
and that was back when he had yet to know that he was a part of the inspiration in your works. when you told him one day while he was sitting in your office during his free hours, his tail wagged so much. him, an inspiration to you ?
the fox doesn't find himself excited or giddy very often, but that moment was one where he couldn't contain himself and he just melts.
"aww, flower, i inspire you ? really ?" his voice is laced with tease, but he doesn't try to hide that he, himself, is flustered. his tail seemed to sway even more when his ears picked up he way you giggled, "of course, nari. i mean it." the way his ears flattened against his head as his face grew even redder, absolutely adorable.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤventi ! ㅤ
firstly, him, a bard who is constantly searching for inspiration to write his songs, and you, a writer who is also constantly searching for inspiration to write new stories. a match made in heaven he says ! it's such a perfect match really, that alone is enough to inspire one of you to write something, or maybe both of you write something, who's to be certain ?
he loves to read your stories as much as you love to listen to his songs. it's something so precious to him, really. everyday is romantic for the two of you, be it him singing you a horrendously corny song he just thought of on the spot, or you hitting him with a short but romantic haiku that sends an arrow through his heart cupid-style.
there's never a dull moment between the two of you, and that's how he's such a big inspiration to your works ! he first realizes this when he notices familiar scenes in your works, almost based on scenes that happened in real life between the two of you. so when he finally asks you about it, oh how his heart flutters.
"i admit, i make short scenes about things that happen between us in real life. because they just feel so, even in the moment, they really feel straight out of a romantic fairytale." you explain, resting your head against his shoulder as he plucks randomly at his lyre. your words made him pause as his heart skipped a beat. "you're exactly the kind of man i look for just in reading novels, venti." that, that makes him explode. "d'aw !! you mean it, as in, you mean mean it ?!" there are stars and hearts in his eyes simultaneously as he holds your hands in both of his, facing you now.
you smiled, endeared. "i mean mean it, love." you truly have him wrapped around your fingers.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤalbedo ! ㅤ
he's no stranger to inspiration, he understands it. but, he admits he lacks it.
until you introduced yourself to his life, then suddenly it seemed to have a different meaning. suddenly it seemed to matter more to him. suddenly it felt like more than a certain emotional burst.
he craved it even. that little sensation that drives him to work more, do more, stemmed from the way you praised him. he admired you so much, your work. everything about you screamed at him to impress you too. he never would've thought you felt the same for him.
you find inspiration from him ? how so ?
though he doesn't understand it, to you, many things about him inspires you. his words seem to roll off his tongue like dialogue in a poetic novel, and his appearance itself could match that of a prince charming. he just looks, acts, and sounds poetic, is what you mean.
"i just seem, novel-like, you mean ?" "that's basically what i mean." your explanation was already wordy, but he could only grasp what you meant by the surface. still, it was enough to leave him speechless in the best way possible.

"anonymous order; ....with a reader who is a catalyst user and fights in an artistic way, like a mix of a ballet dancer and a gymnast — message cut."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤpardon if this took some time ! ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤplease enjoy, xoxo ♡
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤgorou !ㅤ
you really know how to mesmerize him, don't you ? your fighting style, though it shares some small components with other fighting styles' he's witnessed in the past, it still stands out as one of the most unique sequences to him.
the first time he lost himself in your grace was when you demonstrated some new attack sequences you've been training. his eyes traced every movement, every swing of your arm, every flick of your wrist, every sway of your body. if it weren't for the elemental blows that landed on the ragged targets set up around the area, he would've forgotten that you were demonstrating attacks, and not a dance you've come up with — if you told him at the end that it was actually a dance you simply infused with attacks, he would've believed you.
anytime he passes by the area and happens to see you on the training grounds, he will stop in his tracks, just to ask if you're planning to train, or to ask how training's going. but in all honesty, he just wants to watch you again.
his hectic schedule can spare a few minutes, he swears.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤzhongli !ㅤ
it appears to him that you've never, in the time he's known you, failed to impress him. and it seems you won't be failing anytime soon.
if he were to make a comparison, he'd likely compare you to a graceful swan, for when he has the free leisure of the afternoon accompany you in training, he feels like he's watching a show. the way you almost look like you're gliding in water is what stems the comparison, and you could rival most professional performers if he does say so himself.
oftentimes, he'd dedicate a few hours of his daily schedule - that isn't that busy either way - specifically to spend time with you. be it to share his opinions and suggestions in your training, or a stroll around the beautiful sceneries in liyue when you choose to rest for that day.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤmona megistus !ㅤ
what is there about you not to love ? you enchant her more than the stars, in a way she's never understood, but she's not complaining about it.
especially being a catalyst herself, your style surprised her, and the thought of how long you trained to perfect a graceful yet effective fighting style made her admire you far more. though she tries to make her own attacks graceful, she firmly believes she could never compare herself to you — and you never let her. sometimes, while you train, you would pull her in and forget all about training, and instead dance with her by the shore of the beach as the water graces your feet ever so often.
she analyzes all your sequences and always watches in awe when you demonstrate a new move you made. she would lose herself in a trance to all your movements, when you're finished, you'd often have to wave a hand in front of her face to get her attention.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤkamisato ayato !ㅤ
this man right here, oh how he adores when you 'put on a show for him' - p.s., he's just watching you train and he acts like you're showing off for him - and applauds you whenever you finish a routine, chuckling at the blank stare you'd return to him.
but in all seriousness, no, he doesn't see your hard work as simply for show, of course not. he greatly admires the effort you lace into each move, entranced by how ethereal you look. and when he watches you in real time combat ? archons, would he be cruel to admit he likes to see you fight, and would like to see so more often ?
you can't blame him, for there's truly something enchanting about watching you barely break a sweat, dropping enemies around you, all while looking like an angel who descended from the heavens to bless him.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤdream on, dreamerㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhow do they encourage you when you don't acknowledge ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyour own efforts ? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤxiao, diluc, wanderer, al haitham !
Tumblr media
second post of my 200 special ! hope the difference in prompt for each part brings a good read to everyone !
@https-heizou @papiliotao @lovevivi444 @kazumist @ilyuu
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤalatus xiao ! ㅤ
xiao is not the most talented in expressing his affections, he's far from it, but he does try.
he tries to understand you, to understand what you find so special in something he so sees to be trivial, to understand how your mind processes the smallest instances or comments he makes as endearing to you, to understand your personal view in mortal life. he tries to see value in the small matters you see of importance. he doesn't understand you, but because of his unfortunately tangled heartstrings that tug on each other at the thought of you, he has to try at the very least. no, it's not has, he's not obligated to. really, he just wants to.
that was when he first met you, when your presence first piqued his interest.
now, now he does understand you. he understands the importance of small things to you, he understands that you may think differently in comparison to him, that you may value things he does not. he understands now after months of trying his best to even begin to comprehend your mind.
the only thing left that he doesn't understand about you, is your self-criticism.
he sees your efforts, he sees how serious you are about what you do, he sees how dedicated you are to your work, and he deems you worthy of acknowledgement for that. why is it that you don't ? why is it that you've come this far, and yet, you can't acknowledge yourself for that ?
if xiao's not the best in expressing his affections, you also can't expect him to be all that experienced in showing tender support, but he also tries ! he always, always tries. for you. he always tries, his absolute best, for you.
"why are you so..." he pauses, choosing his words as he thinks thoroughly about how to word what he wants to say. he gulps, hesitant, but the way your eyes met his with expectance, he shakes his head. "why are you always so harsh with yourself ?" he finally finishes, eyebrows knotting in seriousness. the way you looked at him, it urged him to elaborate further on what he meant — "you often criticize your own work, think lowly of them, even. also, don't think i don't notice that look of disapproval in your eyes when you're skimming through the words you just wrote in front of me, words that tell stories i would find myself comfort in." he takes your hand in both of his, cupping it up to his lips as he sits in front of you, opting to silence while waiting for your response. "xiao," you took a deep breathe and he looked up at you patiently, "it's just, i'm not that harsh on myself, i promise." you place your hand on top of his that still cupped your other to his lips.
"it's that i admire you, your work. i respect your dedication to it and how serious you are about it. that's why i don't like that you criticize yourself so often." "so you'd like me to stop ?" "i hope that you'd stop." your features relax as your smile goes soft to his direct response, and you kiss him on the forehead.
"thank you, my darling. i needed that." you leaned in closer to his face, melting at how softly his amber eyes looked into yours. "i figured you did."
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤdiluc ! ㅤ
now diluc is not so reserved when it comes to his own opinions. if he thinks something is unimportant, he will say, out loud, that it isn't important. his words have no filter, that's why he's deemed a rude man by many, with the exception with a few that were used to it.
you were one of that few. constantly retaliating or paying no mind to his direct and straight-to-the-point comments about how it was pitiful to pay mind to 'senseless' matters. though, he did irk you when you first got acquainted, but with utmost patience, you grew to understand that he simply didn't get it and worded his sentiments with a far too direct tone.
really, despite his insensitive tone with wording things, he never means for them to be offensive or hurtful. especially not towards you, archons forbid he ever accidentally says something to hurt you. he wouldn't be able to forgive himself even if you already forgave him.
hence, he's noticeably careful with his statements when he watches you tug on your hair in frustration over the sentence you were currently writing just not making sense. he wants to be of assistance to you, of help, but how does one do so ? he doesn't ponder for too long and decides to sit closer to you, snaking an arm around your waist in an attempt to rub soothing circles into your sides. "don't pull your hair out like that, you're getting pent up." you let out a long sigh and cave in, propping up against his shoulder and leaning into him in hopes of rest.
but he can't shake off the thought that you weren't just tired.
"do you perhaps have something bottled up in your chest ? would you like to rant about it if so ?" the question comes out soft and slow, as if he was being careful. you didn't need to say anything for him to know your response, just the way you tried to hide your face in his arm and leaned closer told him that you did in fact have something bottled up.
"if you're comfortable to talk about it now, of course." he reassures you, pulling you in closer and slightly pushing away the table that you were furiously writing on earlier. your shoulders tensed but loosened as soon as he noticed. "it's just, none of my writing seems right, as of late." you started to speak, melting into his hold. "how do you say so ? i've been reading your work in progresses, and i'd say they're as beautiful as all your other projects." he queried, not fully understanding what you meant in right. "are you sure ? to me they're just not that worth finishing. not that good, basically."
he doesn't understand, not that good ? how could you say that about the papers you would stay up all night in your shared bedroom, writing away on your desk instead of curling up to his warmth in bed, leaving him almost lonely just to finish ? how could you say that about the short stories you spend hours on and put utmost effort into ? he's practically offended for you.
"don't ever say that." he kisses your temple and stays with his lips hovering over your skin. "you're likely in need of a rest for you to feel that spark for your work again, no ?" you hummed at his suggestion, "perhaps, yeah." he smiles at your response and kisses your temple again.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤwanderer !ㅤ
kunikuzushi, scaramouche, wanderer, however you know him, is an honest man. he's intelligent with words as well, making sure every word rolls off with the exact impression he means it.
but he's no writer, he's more of a reader. he rather reads the pages neatly written out by some literature genius than write himself. so to watch you work, watch you write, oh he does admire it. and better you bet that he'll always want the manuscripts or unfinished projects you don't publicly release, which you figure he simply keeps up on a shelf, but far from that in reality. instead, he keeps the pieces he gets from you in the drawer by his nightstand, specifically for their safe storage. he loves how you write, he loves the words you use, everything you write is a gift to him, so he keeps them there for close attention.
with this, it doesn't go unnoticed when you start to lose heart in your writing. when you start to hesitate with each word you note on the paper, when you start to ponder more and longer with the next sentence, when you start throwing away more drafts than often — he realizes before you can come to terms with it.
what bothers him more is that you're less prideful in your finished works, when you used to show them off to him immediately, you would instead say they're not finished or you're gonna edit them more. only to stash them away in a folder and hide it at the bottom of your drawer. he knows why, you can't hide it from him even if you try, and you don't even dare to try.
he stops your hand as it moves to dip your pen in ink again, taking it from your fingers as he moves your chair to face him. "you can talk to me, you do know that, right ?" he starts, leaning close with both of his hands on each of the chair's arms, a sign for you to stay put. you looked up at him, puzzled by his actions, but he knew better than to assume you didn't know what he meant, you knew what he meant.
"talk to me," he pauses, "please. i know something's wrong when you're more frustrated than usual." he speaks carefully, softly. he's a man who knows how to use his words, who makes sure to speak them clearly yet carefully. "it bothers me when you don't want to talk about things, please ?"
he's a man who fears silence from himself, and from those whom he trusts dearly, silence brings worry to his nerves and waves him with a sense of discomfort. he hates when you're silent. he, really, really does.
to his relief, you finally let him hear that sigh of forfeit and his muscles loosen from their formerly tense state. "writing has just been difficult, recently, that's all to it." you were looking down as you spoke, and this left scaramouche unconvinced. "that's not all to it, don't think i haven't noticed." he shakes his head, staying in place to hear everything. he's not ending this conversation until he hears everything.
"for someone who insists he doesn't care, you notice nearly everything." he scoffs at your attempt to change the topic, "i don't care about most things, but i do care about you."
but this time, your silence in response to what he just said, it amuses him. "now, talk to me, tell me everything. i will listen, i promise you that." he pulls a stool over for him to sit right in front of you.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤal haitham !ㅤ
he's no better in showing his affections that a certain adeptus, and he takes no time in understanding. he can be rude, actually, sometimes he means it, sometimes he doesn't. al haitham is a hit or miss kind of man.
however, he does acknowledge others' work — he's not that bad. he acknowledges your work, he respects it even. he would oftentimes find himself assisting you as well, slipping in suggestions and short comments while you write. it's the least he could do now that you're together, after years in the akademiya merely tolerating his manner. though, he'll admit that his curiosity still dwells on why you didn't reject him that day.
he would even tuck away some of his ignored pride and compliment you, even asking you for literary recommendations from time to time. al haitham was a hit or miss kind of man, so you can say you hit the jackpot.
now, with his respect to your work, he will not accept any out of hand criticism without a glare, not even from you. as a matter of fact, whenever he hears a self-deprecating whisper from you, he cups your face with one hand and makes you take it back. not even you have the right to make negative comments about yourself or your work, he makes sure of that.
"this is all such, ugh !" al haitham perks up at the sound of you tossing multiple, maybe even a stack, of papers to the bin by your desk and curse yourself. the chair you sat on scrapes the wood floor as you push it back to get a new stack of blank papers from your drawer. he closes his book and soundlessly walks over and takes out the papers you had discarded and flips through the pages messily stapled together. "this is a waste, love, you are aware of that i hope." he pats off the stack of papers and tries to hand it back to you in hopes that you'd at least use it as a draft. "it's a waste of time, hayi. the plot of that one is messy and has too many loops." you groaned, lightly pushing his hand holding the papers away. "i swear i have it planned out already, but as i write it down it turns cliché, into garbage." the male's eye twitches when you finish your statement, and he sighs, setting the papers down on your desk. "you've spent nearly a week on this one, don't say that." he tries to convince you, and stops the hand that tries to push the papers back into the bin as you turn to him. "and it's garbage, hayi !"
he wipes his hands on his shirt first, then cups your face with both to force you to face him. "come on, you're being far too harsh with yourself." he speaks with the best sincerity he can muster, and he doesn't miss the way your muscles tensed before caving into his touch. "i'm just frustrated it's not going as good as i'd like." you admit, and al haitham pulls you in for a hug. "just because you're frustrated, doesn't mean you should be belittling something you still worked hard on." he retorts, and with the way you sighed and hid your face in his chest, he knew you had no further arguments anymore and his point was made correct.

"anonymous order; ...can i request coffee shop or picnic baskets with tighnari and albedo ? — message cut."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤbeen a while since i've written for these two, huhu . . ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthank you for requesting, enjoy ! xoxo ♡

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤtighnari !ㅤ
he doesn't mind spending the day with you however you'd like, he's not picky. most of the time, he insists you decide, but if you instead give him the decision to make, he will not be able to resist a botanical garden date. — and now that you two are here, he just hopes you're enjoying as much as him.
"you seem to like the flora." he smiled at you, observing the way your eyes wandered over each type of flower on display. "say, love, i've always wanted to hear about your interest in botany," you turned to him, meeting his gradient pupils as he hums.
"are you certain of that, love ? while i don't mind sharing with you my stocked-up knowledge of plants alike, as a matter of fact, i would love to share with you. but, most prefer to enjoy these types of places in serenity." he explains, his eyes examining the provided descriptions of each flora. "i would love to hear you talk all day, besides, the font they used for the descriptions are barely intelligible." and laughter resounded from the two of you.
"fair point, very fair point." he agreed through short laughs, lifting a leaf away from one of the plates that provided the description. "well to start off, i hope you know what these flowers are." he starts, waving his hand out in front of a bush of pink petalled flowers. "glaze lilies, they're symbolic in liyue harbor, along the gardens of yujing terrace." "correct. so you have your knack of knowledge too." "only surface level !"
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。゚ ⊹ㅤalbedo !ㅤ
him and the former are rather on the same page, he's not picky with spending the day with you either. hell, just eating take out with you on the sofa in his apartment while watching a movie is enough for him to consider a date night.
but, he's always wanted to take you to an archaeological museum. he felt the strong urge one day to just dedicate an empty journal to writing out a to-do list of things he wants to experience with you, which he would excuse as "it would be like documenting my love life, which is sort of research if you think about it really hard." — and taking you to that archaeology date is number 1 on said list.
so imagine his surprise when you were telling him the directions to the particular museum he had written down in that journal. "there's this museum i heard of nearby, full of archaeological stuff like fossils, artifacts and all those trinkets." you rambled as he drove the car beside you, noticing the way he perked up at the topic. you smiled to yourself,
"and you know, i saw it in your to-do list. so i decided to set a date for us there !" perfectly timed at a stop light, he turned to you. "really . . ?" there was a light of excitement in his eyes, and you couldn't help but smile. "really !" "oh, darling, you didn't have to." you watched the smile tug at your boyfriend's lips as he looked at you, and you could see him melt. "hey, don't thank me yet ! get us to the museum first !" he laughed, "of course, of course."

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤshopping feverㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤwherein, kaeya shops for the perfect gift for you ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤmodern kaeya !
Tumblr media
birthday gift for my lovely @lovevivi444 ‹𝟹 princess treatment kaeya ayan
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤmwamwa loveu vivi !
Tumblr media
"you don't have to get me anything fancy, kaeya." was the same sentence you've repeated many, many times today, you've lost count. your boyfriend is stubborn, but in his defense; it's your birthday ! he just wants to get you something special — and in the hours the two of you have been circling the mall, nothing has caught his eye and made him certain you'd like it.
"yes i do, love. yes i do." he insisted, and at this point, you just accepted as your boyfriend approached another store.
kaeya wants your day to be special, so here he is, going back and forth between boutiques and jewelers, looking for that special gift for you. he curses himself for not thinking of something sooner, but oh well.
none of the options laid out for him struck him as that special gift, it had to be something that really stands out to him for him to consider it special. he takes gift giving very seriously, after all.
"babe," you grab kaeya's hand and make him turn to look at you, cupping his face in your hands, "really, i appreciate it, but even just the fact we're on a date is special enough to me." you tried to reassure him again, simply not wanting him to spend so much on you because he always does already. he spoils you rotten, expensive gifts here and there for no occasion whatsoever, so you want him to lay off at least just this once.
but the thing is, kaeya loves to spoil you. he loves the way you kiss him especially tenderly when he gets you something you really like. so, "well that's just enough, i want to be more than enough, darling." he replies, kissing your nose with a smile tugging at his lips.
you can't win against this man, can you ?
and with that, your hands are intertwined with his as he browses through the rest of the shops, still in search for that special gift.
Tumblr media
finally, finally. kaeya stops with you in front of a jewelers that he completely ignored hours ago, the minutes of walking leaving you exasperated already.
"have we checked this shop ?" "no, i think we passed by it though." kaeya hums, mumbling something to himself as he enters the shop with you following close behind him. "yes, we definitely haven't checked here."
your mind was blanked as your eyes trained on your boyfriend's back, barely paying attention to the eye-catching display of accessories in the isles, but those were all your boyfriend was paying attention to. surely, surely he'll finally find something for you here.
he did, archons he actually did. he smiled as his eyes laid eyes on a particularly striking necklace, one that for whatever reason, seemed to remind him of you. "darling, i think i've found it." with a hand on your waist, kaeya beckons you to check the necklace for yourself, and the way your eyes sparkled in awe, he knew he did a good job yet again. "would you like to try it on ?" "isn't it expensive ?" "it's for you, darling. you know the price doesn't matter to me when it's for you."

ㅤㅤㅤㅤミㅤa fleeting chanceㅤ⋆ 。˚ㅤ♡ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤmaybe, just maybe, it was a chance he could take ? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤxiao !
Tumblr media
the day xiao would find a mortal that he truly, genuinely valued, and protected beyond his duties as an adeptus, would be the day he believes he's a fool.
a fool to find himself meddling with mortal life and developing feelings he had no right to.
please, he, a yaksha, falling vulnerable to the hands of a mortal, especially in the context of romance ? lies, lies, he says.
but oh, the way you look at him with adoration, with more devotion than any mortal ever had. are those even the right words to describe the way your eyes sparkle when you see him ? no, he should be asking himself; is it even right for him to like that particular way you look at him ?
morax, lend him your power, for he is losing his mind to these thoughts, to these emotions, to these feelings.
what even are these feelings ? they were warm and always left him with a hint of heat to his cheeks and a tingling sensation in his stomach all the way to the tips of his fingers — it was like a mixture of sensations actually. and what puzzled him more, was that he only felt these things when you were around.
were you casting a spell on him, enchanting him ? he didn't understand the meaning in the way he felt whenever you were around, and it irritated him —
it irritated him that he started to envy of the young couples he'd pass by, that he'd think of you while observing those couples. it irritated him that he started to find himself waiting for you in places you often visited, like the balcony at the inn, only to be disheartened whenever you didn't arrive. it irritated him that he was often silenced by nervousness whenever you'd try to converse with him. it irritated him that he couldn't understand why he felt that way, and why those feelings seemed to be associated with you.
he wanted to understand, he needed to understand.
then, love. when he talked to sir zhongli about his internal predicament, love is all he explained to him. "it is a mortal feeling that is meant to be genuine, xiao. it's a special feeling, yet it seems you are taking it for granted."
"unbelievable," and at the in-depth explanation and possible solution to his problem, xiao denied it. "i, an adeptus, would be doomed the day i associate myself with romance. especially with a mortal.."
him, love, and you as a mortal, three key ingredients to a catastrophe for the life of an adeptus. it sounded illogical, unrealistic, unconvincing, really. the vigilant yaksha, the conquerer of demons, and love with a mortal, who would believe that ? him ? the archons ? no one, he swears.
but in the back of his mind, there's that annoying part of him that wants to believe it. there's that annoying part of him that thinks it was worth taking chances for. because consider this, maybe, just maybe, you were worth giving it all up for.
he silences that part of him with harsh logic, thoughts of an adeptus who feared loss. thoughts along the lines of 'even if you accepted these.. fleeting, mortal feelings, how could you be sure they would accept you ?', 'even if you tried, would you be deserving of them ?', or 'and what if they simply don't feel the same ? a risk taken, for nothing.'
he was harsh on himself, but who could blame him ? he's been alive for thousands of years, the only emotions he ever really understood were guilt, rage, numbness, and desperateness. love, romance, it felt out of his line, out of his reach.
'but maybe that's why they've been introduced to you, no ? so along with them, they could bring you a new emotion, a new feeling, a new hope —' why ? why would he, one who's murdered hundreds without remorse, be deserving of such a chance ? he rebuts his own thoughts.
a chance, could he even call it such ? and if he could, it was almost pointless. it was fleeting, too slim for his liking.
his eyebrows furrowed as he remained in thought, leaning on the railing of the balcony, almost forgetting that you were sitting on the same railing right by him. "xiao ?" you waved a hand in front of his face for his attention, pulling it away when he finally blinked and turned to you. "you were deep in thought again, i was getting concerned." xiao resisted the tug of a smile on his lips, feeling that oh so irritating feeling in his chest again as his heart swelled at your concern for him. "sorry to concern you, my mind was simply clouded." he exhales after answering your concerns, nodding in assurance as you smiled softly at him.
a fleeting chance with merely a sliver of hope. but maybe, just maybe, it was a chance he could take.
