when they have to leave early

Includes: Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Xiao, Venti, Aether, and Tighnari.

Genre: Fluff! Established relationships. Gender neutral reader.

Word Count: 180-200+ for each.

Notes: Bullet imagine of some of the Genshin boys being mushy with you since they have to leave early in the morning. (unedited, sorry!)

Childe:

You were used to Childe having to leave earlier in the morning than you since he was a harbinger and he always had some sort of work to do before the rest of the world woke up.

Doesn’t mean he enjoyed leaving you so soon, though.

In fact, it was a sour start to his day when he had to and he’d always be irritable until he saw you again.

He’d probably lay awake for a while, placing slow, soft kisses on any part of your body he could reach before ultimately slipping out of bed to get ready for the day. He could never, ever, ever accomplish this without waking you up, though, so whenever he’d come back to the bedroom, he’d find you sitting up, waiting for him.

Broke his little heart seeing you so sleepy, but not wanting him to leave without his good morning kiss from you. It would simply be a crime if he left without it and you didn’t want to add to his uh, already large list of crimes.

He’d tuck you back into bed after you exchanged goodbye’s and many, many more kisses.

Diluc:

HATES having to wake up and leave before you. Absolutely DESPISES it. Diluc would rather have to tell his brother his true feelings about him face to face in front of a crowd of people, or drink alcohol, or, or… ANYTHING but this.

But alas, business is business and sometimes he has meetings early in the morning or something else that needs to be completed earlier in the day. He’d try his best to scoot out of bed as quietly as he could and not disturb you in the process.

This was always so hard, since you two always slept so closely embraced. As soon as he would hear you stir, whether you’d hum him a quiet greeting or simple roll over in bed, he’d say a few choice words in his head for disturbing your sleep. He might be able to sneak around Mondstadt at night undetected, but he could rarely ever leave your side without being found out.

However, whether he accidently woke you up or not, he couldn’t possibly leave you without saying that he loved you or his morning kiss, so he’d carefully place one your temple and whisper a quiet “I love you” before he left.

Gorou:

You would think as a general Gorou could wake up, slip out of bed, get ready and leave so quietly, the lightest sleeper wouldn’t even stir slightly.

Well… wrong.

This man can’t leave without waking you up almost immediately.

“I’m so sorry, honey,” he’d sigh, hastily throwing on his clothes while watching you blink tiredly at him, yawning. His teal eyes would convey just how sorry he was as they were fixed on your figure the whole time. “I have to leave early to go help out some of the new soldiers this morning, I’m sorry.”

You’d be too tired to respond, choosing to simply watch him in silence until he came to give you your goodbye kisses – always three right on your lips whenever you two departed. You would tell him you loved him in your morning voice that would always make Gorou want to stay longer (his ears twitching ever so slightly would give that away, along with the slight sway of his tail), but he’d tell you he loved you more and that he’d be back later for lunch.

Xiao:

Now this man knows how to leave without disturbing you. The problem is that Xiao is so good at it, he doesn’t even want to tell you bye or give you a goodbye kiss because he thinks it’ll ruin it. The sun wouldn’t even be up yet and he knew you wouldn’t wake up for another several hours, so the last thing he’d want to do is ruin that.

Somehow, your body just knows when he’s leaving though, so when he’s just about to slip out of your window and into the early morning air, he’d hear a soft “I love you, dear,” behind him.

Xiao really wishes you wouldn’t do that because your sleepy voice and exhausted eyes staring at him from the bed really tempted him to just discard his polearm and jump back in bed with you.

He can’t, though, so he’d quickly come back to you, one hand cupping your cheek, and give you a chaste kiss that always lasted a bit longer than you expected before saying he’d try to be back as soon as possible.

Venti:

Venti will actually wake you up to announce he’s leaving and no, he will not feel bad about it.

He doesn’t want you to wake up super confused and think he’s like, totally abandoned you!! So this is his way of making sure you know he’s leaving for a bit and will be back later. He wouldn’t know what to do if he gave you the impressions he didn’t care for you and was just leaving abruptly.

So, in the event he does have to leave early in the morning, either of his own accord or because he has a certain outlander to help find their lost sibling, he’ll gently shake you awake and explain that he’ll be off and will return in due time. He wouldn’t give you the chance to protest or express any disappointment in front of him, either.

Venti will give you lots and lots of goodbye kisses, too, because he could never leave you without pouring out every ounce of love his body had for you. And, he makes sure you remember that he’s always with you with the light breeze that takes his place whenever he’s gone.

Aether:

Aether used to leave you in the mornings without disturbing you, but you somehow trained yourself to wake up whenever he left the bed because there were too many times he’d leave and then come back looking like he had taken a beating.

He worried you so much, so now if you don’t wake up, he’ll nudge you awake so he can explain where he’s going for the day. He understands why you’re like this, since most of his “oh, I’m just going to meet with the archon of this nation to find my lost sibling” turned into “I fought an ancient god/fatui harbinger/that same archon almost to death. And no, I didn’t find out where my sibling is, either.”

So yeah, he can’t leave without explaining to you first what the plan was for the day and promises of returning as soon as he could.

And of course, those promises were always accompanied with many goodbyes kisses planted on your cheeks and nose and forehead and lips and-

Yeah, you get the picture. If it wasn’t for Paimon reminding Aether he had to leave soon, he’d stay right there in his spot beside you, giving you good-bye/good morning kisses until he couldn’t.

Tighnari:

Sometimes, Tighnari would have to wake up before the sun rose to tend to his forest ranger duties. Often times, this meant you wouldn’t wake up since you’d be in a deep sleep still. (Thank the archons, because if you woke up it was hard for you to go back to sleep, so the dendro user hated accidentally disturbing your rest.)

It also meant you’d most likely still be asleep by the time he got back since the shift was so early.

That doesn’t mean he would leave without bidding you some sort of goodbye. He’d leave you a note explaining where he was so you wouldn’t worry if you woke up and plant a quick kiss on your head before he departed.

If you did wake up, though, he’d probably take the time to sit beside you in bed and tell you where he was going and what he’d be doing instead of leaving a note. “I should be back in around five hours,” he’d estimate before standing up and announcing he was leaving. Not without a few goodbye kisses, though, of course.

elysian.

─── THE BEGINNING ; 02.

elysian adjective; relating to or characteristic of paradise

summary: when you lose your job out of the blue, you’re pretty sure this is the end of the road for you. at least until you reconnect with your childhood best friend aether and he offers you your ideal job and a place to stay. the only condition is that his office will be behind the store you’ll be running, and under no circumstances are you permitted to enter. that’s how you begin your new life as a florist, though you’re not sure how to focus on working when aether seems to have too many pretty boys working both for and against him. your fresh start gets a whole lot more interesting when you discover just how many secrets these men are hiding, but somehow you think you’ll still be able find the elysian ending of your dreams.

pairing: various genshin male characters x gn!reader

a/n: aaaa i've been very busy i'm sorry for the long gap between chapters :( this chapter introduces a few of the boys hehe, hope u enjoy it ! next ch is the last one before reqs open aaa im so excited🤭

previous. // elysian masterlist. // next.

“Aether, it’s fine! Don’t worry, I can carry these in myself,” you heft the cardboard box you’re holding so you can see Aether’s face. “I don’t doubt that, but there is an awful lot of stuff…” He looks back at his car, which is piled to the brim with messily taped boxes. “Hey! You don’t get to say that when your room in college literally looked like it could be on an episode of Hoarders,” you roll your eyes at his lifted eyebrow, and he raises his hands in surrender, “Nooo, don’t bring up my dark past! I just meant that it would be faster if I helped.” “Whatever,” you stick out your tongue playfully at him and he laughs.

“Hm? And who might this lovely person be?”

A voice behind you sounds, and somehow you can already hear the smile in their tone before you spin around sharply to face them. It’s a tall man with a shock of ginger hair, sea-blue eyes scanning you intently and a smirk playing about his lips. “Childe, what are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you all to clear out earlier?” Aether doesn’t sound too happy about this turn of events. “Oh! You must be the new florist!” Childe blatantly ignores Aether’s exasperated tone and rushes forward to shake your hand heartily before winking, “He didn’t mention that you’d be this pretty.” You laugh, “Thanks. He didn’t mention he had such handsome friends either.” “Oh, he’s more like our boss-”

“Childe.” Aether’s tone is stern this time, “Can you please not overwhelm Y/N? They’ve just got here.” “Sorry,” Childe backs off with his hands raised in surrender, but then he shoots you a sly smile, “Can’t wait to get to know you better.” Massaging his temples, Aether sighs, “I take you being here to mean that so is everyone else.” “Correct!” Childe finger-guns before effortlessly lifting the box out of your arms despite your protests, “And they’re also excited to meet you, so let’s head right in!” As soon as Childe leaves, Aether groans, “Sorry about that, Y/N. I didn’t mean to introduce you to everyone today.” “Don’t worry about it,” you nudge him, “I appreciate the warm welcome. So, was that one of your colleagues?” “You could say that… though they’re more like subordinates,” he chuckles, and you gasp dramatically, “I can’t believe you’ve become a boss! Do I have to call you sir now?” Aether’s cheeks turn red and his eyes widen, “No!” “Alright, sir,” you tease. He looks away, unable to meet your playful gaze as he huffs, “Let’s just go inside.”

–

Upon entering the building, you’re met with a stunning sight. Almost every surface in the room is covered with flowers of every kind imaginable; sunflowers, dahlias, roses, tulips… the list is endless. It’s a rainbow kaleidoscope of colours wherever you look, and it takes you a few moments to really absorb the fact that this place is yours. “Ta-da! Welcome to your flower shop, Y/N!” Childe stands in the middle of it proudly, grinning at you until somebody whacks him in the back of the head. “Ow!” he rubs the bump with an offended look, “Xiao, what was that for?”

A shorter man with teal streaks in his dark hair steps out from behind Childe, “Accident.” “Yeah, right-” “I think it’s because you’re being irritatingly loud,” another man steps forward, this one with cropped indigo hair that matches his eyes, “You deserved that.” “Hey! I thought you were working on your anger issues,” Childe scowls, to which the other man says, “This is me working on my anger issues.” “Great first impression, guys,” Aether cuts in abruptly, shooting the three of them glares, “Anyway, meet Xiao and Scaramouche, Y/N.” Xiao offers you a curt nod, while Scaramouche looks you up and down judgmentally without even bothering to hide it. “See something you like?” you query with a wink, and his face turns as red as a tomato as he splutters, “What?! As if!” Aether groans and swiftly changes the topic, “Ignore him. So, what do you think of the place?”

“It’s amazing! Thank you so much, Aether!” you spin in a circle again to take it all in, and find that you can barely wrap your head around how you’re going to be in charge of all this – your childhood dream is finally coming true. “No need to thank me,” he smiles, “Most of it was already here, we just spruced it up a bit and brought in fresh flowers.” You cup a large drooping lily, and the grin on your face speaks for itself as to how happy you are.

Before you can thank them all even more, a couple of other men deep in an avid discussion about plants turn the corner. One has green hair cut into a neat bob, and the other is blonde with his hair braided to the back yet still reaching his shoulders. Seeing as they haven’t noticed you, Aether clears his throat, “Tighnari. Albedo. This is Y/N, they’ll be staying here from now on.” Both men look up at the same time with surprise, and Albedo tilts his head, “It’s nice to meet you.” “Indeed. I look forward to seeing how you’ll handle the place,” Tighnari shakes your hand firmly, “If you ever need any tips for how to look after the flowers, feel free to ask.” “Thanks! I’d really appreciate that,” you reply warmly, clasping his hand with both of yours and gazing into his forest green eyes with a smile.

Aether claps his hands, jolting you out of your reverie, “There’s still a lot of stuff from Y/N’s old apartment in the car, could you all help move them upstairs? Y/N, you should go outside and look around. After all, this’ll be your new home.” After he reassures you that they can handle transferring the boxes on their own (although Scaramouche stalks off with a grumpy “We don’t get paid enough for this.”), you decide to explore the area behind the building. There’s a hidden garden there, and it’s almost straight from a novel with how pretty it looks. A white swing set stands tall in one corner, while a bird feeder and a fountain decorate the rest of the area. Bushes of blossoming buds and trees swaying gently in the breeze grow in every inch of empty space, with a neat cobblestone path winding through it.

Yet there’s something that seems out of place: A tall man with blue hair tied neatly into a ponytail perched on the edge of the swing.

“Hello?” you try to acknowledge him, but it comes out as more of a question than a greeting. The melancholy written on his face as he stared into the depths of the small pond disappears in a second as he stands up with a smile, making you wonder if the pensive expression you saw was nothing more than a trick of the light, “Hello there. Who might you be?” “I should be asking you that,” you maintain eye contact, taking a careful step backward. “Me? I’m one of Aether’s employees, he’s got a pretty large company over here. The name’s Kaeya.” You relax at the mention of Aether, “Oh, I thought you were a creep from the way you were hiding out back here.” His chuckle rings out in the afternoon air, “What a wild assumption. Aether told us to stay far away until you got properly settled in here.” “Looks like nobody listened.” “Hmm… let’s just say that none of us are upright rule-followers.”

He leans in as if telling you a secret, “And you wanna know something else?” Your curiosity is piqued too, so you move closer excitedly, “What is it?” “I’m actually a pretty good tour guide!” Kaeya grins, “And I know all the best spots around here. What say we ditch them and go for a ride?” Guilt pricks at your conscience for leaving the other boys to deal with the boxes, but you soothe it by telling yourself they said they would be fine. So you beam, “Sure, let’s go!” “It’d be my honour to show such an adorable person around,” he winks, beckoning you to follow him to the car, “Now, your majesty, your carriage awaits.”

In hindsight, that was a pretty bad decision to make, especially on a day which had started off with awful news – there’s no guarantee that it would have ended with the sudden influx of good luck. So the moral of the story should be: don’t follow random strangers into their car even if they claim to know your friends, because it could end up with you locked in an interrogation room at the local police station for crimes you didn’t even know about.

And if that sounds oddly specific, it’s because you lived through it.

Character Design Elements I can find.

The reason why i'm putting this here is cause idk chinese but hopefully those who do know will idk💐😔🫶 AND I'M TOO NERVOUS TO INTERACT WITH ANYONE OK😰

- Mu Lingchen

高松出众木，伴我向天涯。作为女主线的重要角色，胸有成竹，步步为营的三公子府主人慕凌辰是个沉稳且颇具城府的人。在设计他的角色形象的过程中，采用了青松为主要元素，碧霄鹰眸如澈，藏万千筹谋。青衫怀玉着身，成翩然君子。风雷瑛冠显威严，黑白弈棋论权谋。粉墨挥毫之间，一个深藏若虚的执棋者形象跃然于纸上。

- Xiao Lianyi

手捻菩提似念经，目中无物两耳空。相较于喜怒不形于色的慕凌辰，三公子府的女主人萧莲意则是行事利落的恭俭之人。凤带金饰，翠珠玉钗，金银交缀下赤玉宝带加身，云山重翠的锦袍，珠光宝气尽显尊荣。手握念心佛珠，慈悲入怀。鸾凤与佛法的设计元素熏陶下，慈眉善目的主母威仪浑然自成。

- Jiusi

光风怀抱玉精神，不染世间尘。九思作为男主线主人公善良赤诚的小跟班，设计之中无不显出阳光与活力。臻白绒球吟斋锦囊，山阴皓雪锋锐宝剑，青竹为衬浮于窗框，一身劲袍干净利落，束发尽显少年意气。游戏以青涩翠竹为设计灵感，塑造出一个坚定执着，真心守护重要之人的热血年轻侍从。

- Jingxue

腻颈凝酥白，轻衫淡粉红。她是君上的掌上明珠，是时刻为大家着想的乖巧闺秀。她是靖雪，是个知礼有才不失可爱的温婉女子。指尖的青鸟振翅欲飞，长衫缀着银杏叶片的纹样，娴静之中不失活泼可爱。金饰打造的双边佩环，眉间的一抹朱红，鲜艳动人的口脂，以银杏融入设计，怀春少女的娇俏可人尽在不言中。

Just sitting back and watching you snap at this person. You who is so sweet and gentle, berating this "confident" individual as their persona wears down, not stopping until they are mere tears and pathetic sobs of apologies.

Very much yes, he wants to kiss you.

ー Front, Back, Or on their face? | genshin impact

⌗; This is about which genshin men would prefer when eating you out.

✰ MDNI. 18+ content ahead! ✰

They prefer from the front. they love having you laid out spread just for them to see. Loving it when you rut against their mouths as you get closer, the way you tug on their hair just enough for it to sting. The way you don't hide how much you love it, and also the way your thighs squeeze around their head. Even the way you start trembling as they hold you open for them to continue abusing your cunt.

THOMA, Xiao, Diluc, Baizhu, Cyno

They prefer from the back. Having you on all fours is a sight that they love seeing, teasing you to the point you start begging desperately for them to hurry up and do something. Indeed, the type to spread your ass cheeks making fun of how wet you are from such lousy touches, absolutely loves using his fingers and tongue on you knowing it drives you crazy. Even with the way you lean more into his touch he can't help but smile to himself.

AYATO, Zhongli, Albedo, Kaeya, Kaveh, Dain, Scaramouche

They don't mind either the front or back, but their favorite has to be when you're on their face. Being able to pull you down onto their face when you're not close enough to his mouth, laps up at your cunt like he's starved. What they love most is when you look down at them between your legs, the way your thighs quiver around their head, and the pathetic whines coming from you as you attempt to move away but he holds you in place.

ITTO, Alhaitham, Childe, Kazuha, Heizou

get well soon, dear!

Includes: Childe, Diluc, Kazuha, Kaeya, Thoma, Albedo, Xiao, Aether, and Tighnari

Genre: Fluff! Established relationships. Gender neutral reader (if I did use she somewhere, just let me know!)

Word Count: 620-660+ for each character (I expected them to be shorter, but I got a little carried away)

Notes: Bullet imagine of how some of the Genshin boys would take care of their sick or unwell lover! Mentions of being sick, not being able to swallow pills so Childe hides them in your food, vomiting is said once in Kazuha’s, you have a stomach bug in Kaeya’s so vomiting is mentioned, etc.

Childe:

We all know this man, despite being a super scary harbinger, can be the perfect house husband. Honestly, the duality of Childe’s personality is probably what drew you in in the beginning.

So, whenever you catch a cold or some other illness while spending some time with him in his home nation of Snezhnaya, you won’t have anything to worry about while you’re under his care.

He’s had to take care of his sick siblings before, so this wouldn’t be his first rodeo. As soon as you complained about a sore throat or when he noticed you shivering despite being under the warmest blankets ever made, your fiancé would step up to the plate of making sure every need you had would be taken care of before you were even aware you needed it.

Childe can cook, so he’s going to whip up all the recipes his mom would make him when he was sick as a kid. He knows that having a sore throat may call for a softer diet, so he’d fix you several hot soups to cater to your ailment.

He’d constantly check how many tissues you had left so you’d never run out and he’d always ask if you were comfortable or if you needed more blankets, another pillow, etc.

(Or someone to snuggle with!!)

(Honestly, you didn’t even have to ask for that, since he was already all over you, peppering kisses all your face as he wished you to get better soon in between each one.)

(No, he didn’t care if he was a greater risk of getting sick now, he was going to do everything in his power to make sure that you had no worries while you were sick.)

If you’re like me and have some irrational fear (which it’s totally not irrational) about swallowing pills, do not fear! Childe’s younger siblings have prepared him for this, too.

At first, the standard answer to solve this problem would be to just dissolve your pills, or crush them up and put them in water. However, after watching you gag from the awful taste one too many times, Childe had to come up with another solution. He had tried to put something sweet in the water to give it another flavor in hopes of overpowering the awful taste of medicine, but it was no use. There had to be another way for you take your medicine without feeling any worse.

He’d come in with Mint Jelly, a dish you secretly loved but didn’t have often. “I thought I’d give you a treat to help you feel better,” he’d shrug, placing the dish on the bedside table while you sat up against the headboard. You were used to him coming in with both your medications and your lunch at the same time, but seeing him with only your lunch piqued your interest.

“Where is my medicine?” you asked, taking the plate and placing it your lap.

“Oh, I thought I’d let you eat this first. It would be better not to have the aftertaste of crushed up pills ruining the taste of one of your favorite foods!”

Of course, the trick to the whole ordeal was that he had hidden your pills inside, hoping that they’d go by undetected and you’d swallow them with no problems. And when you placed an empty plate back on the bedside table and thanked him for such a yummy meal, Childe couldn’t help but feel accomplished.

Unfortunately, he’d have to come clean about his doings and his efforts would most likely be unsuccessful in the future (he could see you looking for them in your food later), but hey, he’s trying, alright!

He just doesn’t want you to be in more discomfort than you have to be :(

Diluc:

If he’s able to, Diluc is going to be by your side every second until you’re feeling 100% better again. This would be in a perfect world, though, and Teyvat is not exactly perfect, so Diluc would be unable to care for you all the time as he wishes he could.

This just means he leaves you in the hands of Adelinde while he’s gone, because he knows that she’ll take care of you in the way that you deserve, no matter what your illness is. She had always done the same for him and Kaeya when they were under her care, so he knew she was more than capable of doing the same for you.

Diluc would have to leave during the day to take care of business elsewhere, and when he’d leave, he’d depart with a promise that he’d return soon (before semi-pleading with Adelinde to make sure you were okay, even though that was completely unnecessary since she was going to, anyway).

Once he came back, though, only you would be on his mind.

Diluc would walk into the Dawn Winery and say nothing to his staff as he headed straight to your shared bedroom, stripping off his coat as he did so. Moco and Hillie would whisper how endearing it was for him to have his attention on nothing else but you – out of his hearing range, of course.

Upon entering the bedroom, Adelinde would grin and give him a summary of what you had eaten, what medications you had, and how you had been feeling while he was away, or the lack thereof, since sometimes you would feel too bad to do much anything but sleep.

With Diluc back, though, you’d be placed back under his loving care. If he still had paperwork to deal with, he’d handle it beside you in bed instead of downstairs in his office as you slept soundly beside him, curled up into a little ball with your head in his lap. This was so he could keep an eye on you, and if you needed him, you wouldn’t have far to go to find him.

He’d cuddle you and read to you since your brain couldn’t focus enough to do that yourself. He’d braid your hair while you slept and would frequently check your fever like a worrying mother since he wasn’t always sure what to do. Seeing his sorry expression whenever he pressed the back of his hand to your forehead always made your heart warm.

If you had a terrible sickness, one that caused your body to ache all over and rendered you miserable, Diluc would put all of his duties on hold to stay with you. There was no way he was going to leave you alone to feel this terribly by yourself. These types of sicknesses would make you cry because of how bad you felt, and it pained your husband to see you in such a state. He’d hold you close under the covers as you shivered from your fever, placing soft kisses on your forehead and whispering comforting words of affection.

And rest assured that if you ever asked him something while you were under the weather, he’d comply immediately. If you asked him to get you a treat (because sweet treats always made things better), he’d already be halfway down the stairs before you could get the rest of the sentence out of your mouth. If you needed another blanket, he’d bring back five. If you needed someone to hold you and talk to you since your sickness prevented you from falling asleep at night – well, that’s a silly thing to ask for since Diluc was already there at your disposal <3.

Kazuha:

You were on your first voyage upon the Crux with Kazuha, courtesy of Beidou peer-pressuring him into convincing you to come aboard for once. She didn’t know much about you, but she could pick up on that you were too shy to ask if you could go on your own.

(Not only was this just allowing her to meet the special someone Kazuha couldn’t stop talking about, but it was also so Kazuha could stop talking about how much he missed you when he left.)

You had been enjoying it for a little bit, until suddenly you disappeared and Kazuha couldn’t find you anywhere. It wasn’t until one of the kids on the ship asked what was wrong with you that he found you in a shady corner, knees pulled up to your chest and your face as white as the snow in Dragonspine. One look at you and he could tell you were seasick. After all, this was your first boat ride. You hadn’t become accustomed to the swaying feeling of being on a ship, so it was expected for you to become this way.

“I was going to tell you I felt bad, but then I thought you’d think I was… I don’t know… stupid,” you murmured, your voice quiet. As soon as you realized that the dizzy feeling you were experiencing wasn’t normal, you had separated yourself from your boyfriend to hide yourself somewhere so as not to worry him, or draw his attention away from what he had been doing.

“I wouldn’t think you were stupid,” Kazuha chuckled, brushing a strand of hair away from your face and tucking it behind your ear. His smile was kind as he took your hands into his. “This is very common, so don’t feel bad. Why don’t we try to find a better spot to rest in, hm?”

“As long as it’s not up there,” you said, pointing up to the crow’s nest, causing him to laugh. You had gone up there earlier with him and that was probably where you began to feel your stomach churn with the waves as you looked upon the sea around you. “No, dove, we won’t go up there.”

You did feel bad for already dampening your trip, and when Beidou asked if you were okay, you felt worse because you thought that maybe she hated you for putting a damper on things. But Kazuha reassured you that nobody was upset with you, and nobody would be upset with you. Everyone gets seasick at some point!

He’d find the perfect spot for you to lounge at, someplace out of the direct sun so you could prevent yourself from getting overheated as that would just make matters worse.

Kazuha would stay with you until you felt better, sitting beside you with an arm around your waist to reassure you that he was there if you needed him. You’d rest your head upon his shoulder and listen to him recite verses of poetry he’d think of on the spot to cheer you up. If you decided that your little spell was over, he’d help you get up and would most likely keep his arm around you while you walked around the ship, just in case you felt sick again.

After your first incidence of seasickness, he wouldn’t leave you alone. The last thing he wanted was for you to vomit or worse, pass out, all by yourself. He knew you too well, first of all; if those things were to happen, you’d probably jump ship out of embarrassment and swim all the way back to Inazuma before anyone realized you were gone. Besides, if something happened to you while he wasn’t there, how was he supposed to take care of you? That was literally his job, after all.

Kaeya:

Kaeya found it very suspicious that he hadn’t seen you around work yet. When he had left that morning, you said you would come in later since you felt nauseous. He didn’t think anything of it, really, since he had just woken up and felt half-asleep still himself. He remembered telling you that he hoped you felt better and to come see him when you arrived before giving you a couple goodbye kisses before he left.

But now at noon, you hadn’t done as he had asked and he hadn’t even seen you around when he made some rounds around the halls. On a normal day, you could be seen walking around the halls, visiting with other knights, or even browsing the books in the library on your off-time, but there had been no sign of you. Concerned, he asked around to see if maybe you were just avoiding him (perhaps he had stolen all the covers from you last night and you were getting payback?). All the knights he had denied seeing you, Lisa sighed and said she hadn’t see you all day, even Klee seemed a bit down that you hadn’t come and given the young girl her daily hug she always received from you. Finally, when he asked the Acting Grand Master if she had seen you only to met with a shake of the head, Kaeya knew something was up.

Once home, the Calvary Captain was met with a quiet house. He noticed your keys were still by the door with other things you’d always take with you when you left the house, so you must still be home. And when he entered your shared bedroom, he discovered you sleeping peacefully. Only, there was a bowl on the floor by the bed and a bottle of medicine on the bedside table.

He didn’t want to disturb you, so he left you, carefully cracking the door behind him so you could have more privacy. He wouldn’t be going back to work, though, since know his duty was to take care of his spouse! Jean would just have to give him a free pass for the day. Husband duties, what can he say?

After being home for a bit, he’d hear you stir in the bedroom before he’d hear the awful sound of you throwing up. He’d immediately come in, surprising you as he asked if you were okay.

“I didn’t know you were home,” you’d state, your voice hoarse as you sat up to view your husband.

“Well, of course. You never showed up to work, so I had come check on you,” Kaeya said, coming to take the bowl you had thrown up in to dump it out in the sink. “I thought maybe you were just mad at me for stealing the blankets last night.”

You’d grin before saying that you must have a stomach bug since you had been throwing up all day. Kaeya wasn’t exactly an expert on how to care for a sick person, but he did know that you probably needed to stay hydrated considering what was going on. On top of making sure you always had water at the ready, he would frequently check if you needed anything else. However, you were mostly asleep so there wasn’t much you asked for.

But he was still there, just in case!

“You know,” you started after Kaeya handed you dinner-in-bed, “you’re probably going to get this, too.”

The cryo user scoffed, rolling his eyes a bit. “What, no way,” he sarcastically said, smiling a bit. “I guess that means you’ll just have to take care of me when the time comes,” he sighed, placing a soft kiss on the top of your head.

He really didn’t mind, though. He’d risk getting sick a thousand times over and over again just to make sure you were given the best care while you were sick.

After all, those are his husbandly duties!

Thoma:

You had gone to bed one night feeling a bit more tired than usual, but you had just chalked it up to be that maybe you had worked harder than you normally do. However, when you woke up the next morning with a pounding headache and a burning fever, you knew that it was more than just you being tired – you were sick.

“Oh, dear,” Thoma cooed after pressing the back of his hand to your forehead. “You’re burning up, y/n. You must have caught that cold going around.”

Just like Childe, we all know Thoma is also a house husband, which means he’s going to dote on you all he can and give you the best care while he’s at it!

You continued to lay in bed while your husband fished through cabinets and drawers looking for any medications that might help you feel better. He came up partially successful, bringing you some medicine that would help relieve your headache. He got you a glass of water and watched you take them before asking if you wanted to join him at the Kamisato estate while he worked so he could keep an eye on you while also working.

You politely declined, explaining that you’d rather not risk the chance of getting anyone else sick and you saw how disappointed your lover was. His green eyes were filled with concern as he thought about his options for the day. His upmost priority was you, since you weren’t feeling well in the slightest and it wasn’t in your best interest to be left all alone. Besides, if Thoma had to miss a day of work for this, he was sure the Kamisato siblings would understand and not berate him.

“Well, I guess I’m all yours today, then!”

He’d fix you yummy, comfort foods to make your miserable sickness more bearable. He kept a very close eye on you, keeping track of every symptom as it came and went and also the exact minute you took your medications. This wasn’t exactly hard for him to do, since ninety percent of his time was spent in bed with you, holding you close as you trembled from your fever.

You’d try to tell him to go elsewhere in the house since you knew he wouldn’t leave altogether, because you didn’t want him to get sick, too. But he didn’t mind! All that mattered to him was that you were taken care of and given the treatment you needed while you were under the weather. He knew he’d probably get sick, anyways, but that would have to dealt with when it came.

When he had to run an errand, whether it be to get more medicine or pick up ingredients to make another dish for you, he’d make sure you were okay before he ran off. This meant that he’d tuck you under the covers tightly, making sure you were comfortable and weren’t in immediate need of anything since he wouldn’t be back for little bit. Thoma didn’t want you to get up and tire yourself out over something while he wasn’t there.

Yes, he knew you could take care of yourself, but you were sick! This was not the time to show your independence! Let him take care of you like he was made to do <3

(If you tried to get up and get something yourself, Thoma would lightly scold you and tell you get back in bed while he took care of what you needed. “You’re supposed to be taking it easy while I take care of you! You need to rest so you can get better!”)

At night when you’d finally fall asleep since your pounding headache made it hard to, Thoma would stay awake in case you woke up and needed him. But, after a long day and making sure the love of his life had every need of theirs met, he too would drift off to sleep, holding your body closely to him.

Albedo:

You were one to keep working, despite any ailments or injuries trying to hinder you from doing so. So, when you showed up at the Chief Alchemist’s lab in Dragonspine, all he could do was sigh when he saw your sorry state before guiding you to the fire he had built and instructing you to stay there while he found you something to help you feel better.

“So, despite having a burning fever and being barely able to breathe, you travelled all the way here just to bring me these little vials?” Albedo asked, stripping himself of his jacket and wrapping it around you as you sat on one of the chairs around the fire.

“Sucrose said you needed them, but she was busy at the moment and wouldn’t be able to bring them to you,” you explained, hugging his jacket closely to you. “I thought I could help.”

You heard your boyfriend hum as he searched for the medicine he was looking for. “I appreciate the thought, but I can’t see Sucrose letting you get away with that.”

“She didn’t,” you said before coughing. “I took it while she wasn’t watching since she said she wouldn’t allow me to because I’m sick.”

Albedo, grinning a bit at the thought of you doing that, came over to you, holding out the medications you needed to help ease the discomfort you were experiencing. “I gathered as much. I hope you’re okay with staying here for the rest of the day, because you’re not leaving until I do.” Before you could interject, he added, “And you’re not sneaking out while I’m not watching, either.”

Albedo wasn’t exactly doting on you the whole time you were in his lab. He left you to your own devices by the fire most of the time, only coming over to give you medicines when it was time and to press his hands to your forehead to see how your fever was doing. While he was at his desk, though, he’d occasionally ask over his shoulder how you were feeling and if you needed anything. If you stated that you were feeling hungry or cold, or needed something else, he’d get up immediately from his workbench and fulfill your needs with no complaints.

What you didn’t see was his anxious glances toward you every ten seconds, making sure you weren’t dead or doubled over in the fire. Even if he wasn’t at your feet begging to be given some sort of instruction on how to care for you while you were sick, that didn’t mean he wasn’t worried about you.

However, when you had fallen asleep without him knowing and he turned to see you on the ground curled up into a little ball, he had to admit that you gave him a bit of a scare. Despite being in the middle of something, he dropped what he was doing and rushed over to make sure you hadn’t kicked the bucket while he wasn’t watching. Discovering that you were just sleeping, though, he took the time to make you a small cot and moved you to that instead of the stone floor of the lab.

Next time you decided to pull something like that, though, he’d appreciate you telling him you were just laying down since the chair was too uncomfortable to sleep in.

If you were still asleep when he decided his work for the day was done, Albedo would probably make the decision to stay in the lab for the night with you instead of waking you up to go back home. He had plenty here to take care of you, but in the morning he was taking you back home, even if he had to carry you.

Xiao:

Xiao never had any reason to understand why humans get sick, how to care for them when they are sick, or what to do when they do get sick. He himself could not experience this phenomenon and as far as he was concerned, he would never have anything to do with humans so why would he need to take the time to learn about human sicknesses and the like?

Of course, that all changed when he came back after a short, two day departure and found you in one of the worst states he could ever imagine. If you weren’t so sick, you probably would’ve laughed and asked to take his picture when you saw the, well, appalled expression he wore when he saw you. Quite frankly, the first thought he had was that you were dying, but you didn’t seem like you were dying, so the poor adeptus was just very, very confused.

The day Xiao left, you had woken up with a terrible headache and luckily, you were close to Verr Goldet so when you hadn’t greeted her at your usual time that morning, she knocked on your door to check on you. Instead of finding you oversleeping, though, she found you feeling miserable with a fever through the roof.

When Xiao came back though, you seemed to be at the height of your ailment, with the same fever, but with body aches and chills, as well as a cough that surfaced every now and then. You felt so bad, you were close to tears and upon seeing you in such a sorry state, Xiao realized he was actually worried about a human for one of the first times ever.

“Why didn’t you call for me?” he asked quietly, stepping toward you cautiously as he tried to understand what was going on. Despite being in your room at the Wangshu Inn, he felt like he was in a new place altogether, trying to get a grasp of this new environment.

“Because,” you started through a fit of coughs, “I’m just sick. There’s not much you can do about it.” And that was the truth of the matter and Xiao understood that because unlike demons and monsters, Xiao can’t exactly beat your sickness to death and make you feel better.

Still, he wishes he could do more.

He just feels so useless seeing you writhe in pain in bed while he just has to stand there and watch you. If this was any sort of mortal danger, he could take care of you in a heartbeat. Alas, not everything had a simple solution.

So, in an effort to try to take care of his lover, he’d carefully watch Verr Goldet’s actions when she’d come in to help prepare your medicine. It didn’t take long for him to pick up on it, so the next time she came in, she’d find Xiao doing it for her.

His hands were always careful. He’d gently caress the skin of your forehead while you slept, inwardly grimacing at how warm you were. He had watched Verr Goldet place cold rags on you to help, so he’d gently lay them on your head and if you stirred, he’d mentally curse himself for disturbing you. He had heard the inn keeper say that you getting lots of rest was important to your recovery and he didn’t want to prolong your suffering by waking you.

He still wasn’t used to affection and showing his love for you, so while you slept he’d keep watch over you from the window, ready to help you at a moment’s notice in the event that you needed it. While you were awake, he’d talk to you quietly or sit on the end of the bed to keep you company.

After watching you go through this, he was definitely ready for the next time it happened. (Though, after seeing how dreadful it was, he hoped that there wouldn’t be a next time.)

Aether:

Normally, you were always up for a new adventure every day. In fact, it wasn’t uncommon for you to wake up before Aether, bursting with excitement of a new day to discover new people and places.

Today was not one of those days.

You did wake up early (not before Aether, though) and you started off strong, but almost as soon the journey for the day began, you felt awful.

A pounding headache pulsated in your cranium and you felt sluggish as you walked down the dirt path with your blonde lover and his floating companion.

“Paimon thinks something might be wrong with y/n,” Aether’s companion whispered to him, causing him to stop and realize how bad you were lagging behind. He could hear you heaving for breath as you tried to keep up, which was very uncharacteristic of you. Seeing how pitiful you looked, he ran to catch up with you and just in the nick of time to catch you before you collapsed.

“What’s wrong with them?” Paimon asked, watching Aether anxiously lay you down in the grass in a comfortable position. “I don’t know,” he responded, seeing how out of it you seemed, though something told him you were just sick and your body needed to rest instead of go on any new adventure for the day.

“Y/n,” he cooed, gathering things from his inventory that might help you feel better. “Are you okay? What’s up?”

“My head hurts,” is all you could mutter, causing the boy to look upon you sadly but endearingly. “Don’t worry, love, I��ll take care of you.”

“And Paimon!” Paimon interjected, placing her hands on her hips.

With all the plants and other things Aether had collected over his journeys, he had plenty of things that could potentially help you feel better. The only thing was that he wasn’t exactly sure where to start. Him and Paimon would go through everything, trying to recall what they had seen or heard others using, like Tighnari or Baizhu. While this was going on, Aether kept his hand in yours, reassuring you that he wouldn’t be leaving you to face this alone.

The verdict ended up being that neither Aether nor Paimon had any clue as to what to use to help you, but what they could do was make sure that you took it easy for the rest of the day! That being said, Aether hoisted you up into his arms and walked back to the inn you three had been staying in to ensure that you wouldn’t have to wither away under the hot sun like a parched plant. All the way there, he’d murmur little statements of his love for you and how he’d make sure you would feel better in no time.

Once back, he got you tucked back into bed under the soft covers of the inn’s room with a promise of being beside you the whole time. He was as your disposal, so whatever you needed or wanted just let him know! He’d want to cradle you and braid you hair while you laid there pitifully, but he didn’t want to disturb the rest he knew you needed.

Instead, he settled for sitting in the bed beside you, to be near but also not distracting you from sleeping. Even Paimon would be careful of talking too loud or causing any ruckus in the room. They both really care for you and wanted to ensure that you’d be feeling better so you could join them once again!

Even if you did feel 100% better the next day, Aether would probably still be worried and suggest that you two just have one more day of rest before you went out again. “Just think of it as… a cuddle day! Yeah, a cuddle day.”

Who were you to complain about that?

Tighnari:

Being sick? Around Tighnari? Who better to be around when you’re under the weather?

This time, though, it was sudden, taking the both of you by surprise.

First of all, you hadn’t seen the forest watcher all day, since he left before you woke up and when he came back, he was instructed not to disturb you since you had some work to get done.

And it wasn’t because you were incapable of getting any work done with him around, but more often than not, you would find yourself getting distracted and giggling with him rather than completing any tasks you had at hand. Today, though, you needed to complete some data sheets for the research team you were working with before you could find Tighnari and bother him with his work.

It was a little after lunch time when Tighnari heard quick footsteps approaching him. “Master Tighnari!” Collei exclaimed, rushing to meet him, her voice urgent. “I was sent to tell you that-”

“Y/n seems to be sick,” another forest watcher ended. He was part of your research team and he was the one to find you sniffling over your work. “And she won’t stop working even though we told her to take a break.”

Tighnari sighed, though he wasn’t annoyed. This was very like you. “Alright, let’s see what we can do.”

As expected, you immediately tried to say that you weren’t sick, but your congested voice, runny nose, and cough begged to differ. “I have to finish this,” you managed to choke out before being sent into another coughing fit. You tried to slap your boyfriend’s hands away as he reached for your papers, only for him to gently push yours away as a response.

“Well, I’m sure someone else can finish it while you’re out of commission,” Tighnari answered, quickly gathering up your notebooks and papers and handing them off to Collei who gave them to one of your research partners. He placed a hand on your arm and gestured off in the distance toward his home. “Let’s go get you some medicine so you can start feeling better.”

Obviously, since you were with Tighnari, you were going to be given the best treatment the forest could give you. After he gathered some plants and herbs that would begin to help you feel better, he instructed you to lie down and take it easy. With how congested you were, it was hard for you to doze off at first, but Tighnari kept you company until you did. When you finally passed out, he stayed outside the door so he would still be close in the event that you needed him, but he wasn’t directly hovering.

He’s going to be strict with your medicines and healing regimens. The medicine tastes bad? He’s sorry and he’ll try find something to make it better, but you’re not getting out of taking it. You don’t feel like eating? He understands, but you need to, so he’ll make you easier dishes to eat.

But he’s definitely very caring and loving to you the whole time. At night when you can’t sleep, he’ll hold you for a while until you drift off. He’ll play with your hair and pepper kisses on the top of your head while you rest. If he’s out of the house and hears you call for him, he’ll immediately drop whatever he’s doing and check on you and he’ll 100% bring you whatever you’re asking for.

(Unless it’s your work, then you might as well forget about it.) (You probably won’t be seeing it again until you’re feeling 100% better.) (If you convince someone else to get it for you, he will personally fight them for complying knowing you were in no shape to work.)

“Do you really think you’re in the shape to write out all your research? And if you are, do you think the Academiya wants your papers covered in snot?”
