Good Morning
Story: You have just spent your first night together and the obvious nervousness comes in with a bang. Will he like me without makeup? I need to keep mints close to me to hide my morning dragon breath. Should I put on some mascara at least? 
Characters: Diluc, Alhaitham
TW: Beware! Fluff.

Diluc
You have promised yourself that you will wake up before him. And somehow you did. When you opened your eyes, the sun was still pretty low and the room was filled with Diluc´s deep calm breathing. Slowly raising your head you checked his chest. You have been sleeping on him the whole night so the possibility of you salivating on him was pretty high. 
It is fine. Thank god. You sigh with relief.
For a second you got stuck because you could not stop staring at him. He looks so peaceful, but authoritative at the same time. Diluc has this aura of confidence and stoicism that you have never seen in other men. He could have every woman in the Teyvat but he chose you. Your heart flutters. 
I do not know what I did to deserve you, but I will do everything to prove to you that I am worthy of you. 
With that, you stood up and tip-toed out of the bedroom.
"Are you trying to run away from me?" 
Diluc´s voice stopped you right when you were about to reach the doorknob. Heart in your chest started racing and all you could hear was your blood rushing through your veins.
"If I disappointed you somehow last night, you can tell me straight away."
"No!" You almost screamed too ashamed to look at him.
"Then where are you going? I was excited to wake up to you sleeping in my arms."
"Me too! I just need to… Use the toilet. If that is ok."
"Of Course, it is ok." Diluc chuckled with relief as he stood up. "I will show you the way."
"No! Umm… I will find it by myself."
"Y/N, what is going on?" He frowned. "Why you did not look at me once."
You wanted to protest even more, but before you were able to find new excuses, Diluc took your chin and raised your head so he could look you directly in the eyes.
After a short moment, you cracked under his gaze, just like last night.
"I did not want you to see me like this." You finally admit.
"Like what?" Diluc looked at you and scanned you from head to toe.
"No makeup, messy hair, puffy face…"
"Stop it, please." Diluc hushed you with a voice filled with amusement and disappointment at the same time.
"I am sorry." You whisper.
"For what? That I did not show you my affection the same way I feel it here?" He took your hand and placed it on the bare skin of his chest. "Can you forgive me for leaving room for so many doubts? My dear, I have traveled most of our world and I have never met someone like you. Do not ever doubt my affection for you. For any version of you. With messy hair, with whatever makeup you do not wear. I do not care. "
"But…"
You tried to protest, but he immediately stopped you with raised brows that said more than enough.
"With that settled, how did you sleep?" Diluc smiled as he hid you in his embrace.

Alhaitham
Last night was everything but what you have expected from a man who presented himself the way he did. Where did those passionate touches and kisses come from?
Never even in your wildest dreams, you dreamed about being smothered with so much affection. Even though you did not want to admit it, you felt addicted. Men are usually a source of disappointment in your life. How could you score an intelligent gentleman with ways that can make your toes curl from… Well, let's call it happiness.
It would be such a shame to scare him away with my morning state. I should freshen up a little. 
You debated with yourself a little before you took your chance. As you carefully moved away his hand wrapped around your waist and tried to stand up, Alhaitham deeply growled. His grip around your body tightened. Who would have thought that he would be into spooning so much?
"What is so funny?" He asked after you chuckled a little.
"Just wondering if I could be the big spoon now."
"No." Alhaitham murmured into your neck without hesitation.
"Can I at least go to the bathroom? Pretty please?"
"So you would let me here with nothing but your scent stuck to my skin?"
"Awwwww." You smiled. "But... Do you want me to pee here?"
"You are free to go wherever you want!" Alhaitham said while dramatically pushing you away from him. 
After you gave him your best fake sad stare you quickly left to deal with some important business in the bathroom. When you finally came back, Alhaitham was already sitting in the bed leaning against the headboard reading something.
"And I thought that I had bad bed hair." You laugh.
"You probably had. You have been gone for almost half an hour."
"You did not!" You audibly gasped before you jumped at him.
"Why… Oh god…" Alhaitham growled as he maneuvered you down from him. "...do you have so much energy this early in the morning? If I knew I would never invite you over."
"REALLY?!" You froze.
"Of Course not." He smiled sheepishly as he pinned you down to kiss you oh so sweetly.

diluc ☓ gender neutral! reader ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺
rainy day ⋆⋆⋆ you and diluc spend the day cuddling while it rains
⛧ word count : 251
Tumblr media
in a sleepy haze, your head rests on diluc’s chest, hearing his heartbeat along with the sound of rain, and thunder rumbling in the distance. diluc had his arms around you, one of his hands rubbing at your hip, the other brushing fingers through your hair.
a blanket was also around the two of you, mostly you as he insists you keep warm during the cold weather. you felt safe and protected in his arms.
he glances down at your tired face, admiring how you become so sleepy in his hold. it was cute, the way you were reduced to this, guard completely down, knowing you were in a safe space.
“i’m sorry we had to cancel our plans because of the rain,” diluc leans down, lips against the top of your head, “i’ll make it up to you, dearest. i promise.”
you hum and nod, your reply coming out as a mumble, “don’t have to apologise, cuddling with you is ‘lways nice.”
you could hear a faint chuckle from him, “is that right?”
the thunder in the distance, now closer, decided it wanted to be loud. but before you could register that, diluc’s hands cupped your ears until the loud rumbling stopped. even if you weren’t bothered by thunder, he’d hate for your peaceful self to be disturbed by the elements.
his hands remained on your cheeks, lifting to your ears anytime it would be loud. the unintentional intimacy made your heart race.

Diluc's In-game outfits: An analysis
Tumblr media
His regular outfit- Official name Darknight Blaze (really Diluc???) source First, it's similar to the long coat he wears in the manga when he's still in the knights. The ropes he has on one shoulder are something you usually only see on military uniforms, too. Also, the belt that crosses the chest and then one across the hip- that's similar to a weapon/sword belt, and it's one many of the knights have with the one across the chest there to keep the belt from sagging. These are two things I think Diluc had in the knights and incorporated into his later outfit. The all black with some gilt/gold is because Diluc is dramatic and likes the color and also looks good in it. The red on the gloves I personally think is also because Diluc is, again, dramatic and determined to wallow in guilt, so he made the palms red "to remind himself of the blood on his hands" or some shit. (I'll admit this is headcanon territory but i think it's really in character.)
Practically, the coat is armor. The coat looks and moves like it's made of some heavy material. I think it would be wool, because wool as a material has a lot of bonuses. It burns after some time- but is hard to catch on fire. It's a great insulator, so it keeps heat in in the cold . . . . and also keeps it out in. It doesn't melt to your skin like some materials (usually synthetic ones) would when burned. Wool can withstand the temperatures of a regular campfire normally for a fair amount of time, and even higher temps if its specially treated. It's used in firefighter suits even today for all of these reasons. Wool keeps you warm even in rain. It also repels water because of the oils in wool and it takes a lot to get it wet.
And as for armor- Heavy and/or padded fabric is fantastic about spreading out the force of a blow. Diluc would probably barely feel an average punch and maybe get a bruise from a sword slash. It might even block a stab from a dagger or sword (depends on weapon quality and force behind it) or at least keep the stab from going in too far. Those giant arm cuffs have a purpose- double the armor on his wrists, one of the most important things to keep from getting injured while fighting. Same for that little capelet- a hit on the shoulders or near the spine would stagger you and make it hard to swing a heavy claymore with the force necessary. I definitely think Diluc decided to put his collar up like that because he thinks it makes him look cool- and then realized it helped prevent slashes to the back of his neck. The coat is open in the front- but you're able to guard your front a lot easier than your back. Even the fact that its sewn in all those weird shapes is useful. If it gets cut/burnt/bloodied too much in one section he simply rips the seams on those specific panels to replace them, instead of having to replace the whole coat. Also, if you headcanon Diluc as autistic I can tell you that wearing a wool cape/coat is like wearing a weighted blanket. It feels so nice. i also wonder if there's something about self-consciousness, and feeling like he needs several layers between his body and the rest of the world at all times.
Red Dead of Night- 5-star skin
Tumblr media
source His Hidden Strife event outfit. In the Hidden Strife event we got it in he said something like "It's an old outfit he got while fighting the Fatui." It looks a bit similar to the Pyro agents, actually. Not so much the recent ones besides the feather-like coattails, but I bet the Fatui changed military uniforms, partly because uniform changes happen regularly and partly because Diluc may have been using Fatui uniforms to sneak into bases and such.
Tumblr media
He probably doesn't wear it all the time for darknight heroing, but it comes in handy for certain things because-
-if its night you will only see shapes instead of colors and red isn't actually super noticeable in the dark, if someone sees it they will see the distinctive tailcoat that looks a lot like a Fatui Agent, and will assume its Fatui- perfect for if he wants the Fatui blamed for this action.
-if it is a Fatui uniform he stole it's a combat uniform so its meant to be maneuverable in combat. if he has it why not use it.
-already has armor built in, its probably meant for Pyro agents so it's presumably fire resistant. I've seen several cosplays made with leather which would make a lot of sense, it's light, maneuverable, fire resistant and provides light armor.
-and probably the original reason he has it- it has bird theming, the bird on the waistcoat and the back looks like tail feathers, it's red, it's fire-themed, I bet you when Diluc first saw it he was so jealous and needed one himself. And then realized all the other practical points of stealing one.
In conclusion, Diluc is wearing armor at all times even when it looks like he isn't. I wonder what he would wear for purely comfort?

Childe smells like sweat and blood.
He keeps himself clean, mind you, but the metallic scent never really goes away. To immortal beings, and those with keener senses, he smells faintly of the primordial sea, and even fainter are undertones of the abyss. Regular mortals will just catch whiffs of salt and something… other.
Zhongli smells like fresh morning dew on mountain rocks.
He smells of tea and amber, and faintly of bamboo. His earthy scent is strongest when using his elemental power, like digging your hands through freshly tilled soil, healthy and vibrant. Most often he smells of the forests of jueyun karst. Mountain air is crisp and pleasant on his skin.
Diluc smells like campfire lit from fallen pinewood trees.
He smells like wine, but more often he smells of the more bitter crisp of fresh grape juice. Ash often coats his gloves, so he’ll sometimes smell of less pleasant things that have been charred. Diluc mostly carries a scent like spices and the fruit he plucks from the vine when coming home from his nightly rounds.
Kaeya smells like deep red wine and the first breath of winters air after a snow storm.
His scent is crisp and cold, even if you can feel his natural body heat, even if it is the middle of summer. The frozen pine smell never seems to leave him, and if his hair catches in the wind you’ll pick up soft hints of vanilla. Kaeya smells good, and he knows he does, because he curates that scent like all other aspects of his being— for the pleasure and distraction of others.

"Why are you avoiding me?" It was those words that made you look up from the book novel that you are reading. There was your lover hovering over you, causing you to frown and slightly move away. "I have no idea what you are talking about."
"Don't lie, even now you're avoiding me." This time, he looked so frustrated, he look like he was about to cry if you do actually admit you are avioding him in which you are not. "Look, Luc. I'm not ignoring you, okay?" You spoke, brushing him off as you stood up and went towards where the open window is.
He went towards you to follow you when you hold up a hand to make some distance between the two of you. For the first time these days were you have been avoiding him, there was a pained look on his face that made your eyes go wide. Quickly setting your book down as you hurriedly chase after him who was now walking out of the room. "Wait! I'm not ignoring you, I swear to Lord Barbatos! I just need some distance between us okay?!" You explain in panicked.
"Isn't that the same thing?" There was a small sad smile on his lips, "Are you tired of me- of us-?!" "No! That's not what I meant! It's just you're hot!" .... "Huh?" He was dumbfounded. What did you just say? "I'm hot?" "No! Not the hot you're talking about but you're hot, it's hot!"
Then it sink in, these nights were you refused to be held, the lack of skin ship the two of you had except for a kiss here and there. You putting up a good distance between the two of you. It is summer, and it is hot as fuck. And he is a pryo user and they sometimes emits heat unknowingly, it can be because of the cold, or maybe because of the heat that it affects them unknowingly.
"Ah." "I'm sorry I didn't tell you right away, I thought you were doing in on purpose knowing how Kaeya and I have been messing with you before. I didn't mean to ignore you. It was just... it's so hot." You look down, of course it was fun to tease him, but now knowing he has been turning all along unknowingly to you, you felt sorry for your behaviour. "Forgive me?"
"Only if you let me cuddle with you at night." He smirks, holding your free hand that was not holding the book. This causes you to groan and pout. "But it's hot..." "Well make it work somehow." He laughs. What more can you do when you are blinded by his bright laughter? "Fine! Just make the room cool somehow before we settle down" "Of course, my lady." He spoke, putting your hand close to his lips before giving it a kiss.
[ⓒdark-night-hero] 2024°
: I lived in one of the coolest place in the Philippines every year end so I'm guessing the heat I'm feeling in our province this summer is nothing compared to those who lived in the city but damn. ITS SOOOO HOT HUHU I FEEL LIKE I'M BURNING EVERY TIME I STEPPED UNDER THE SUN.
: Reklamador nang pakinggan pero sinusubukan ng init ang pasensya ko nowadays.

cw: self indulgent, afab reader, fluff, established relationship, mdni, minors dni, some kissing, reader is given terms of endearment.
diluc birthday month!!! wrote for comfort. today was a bad day.
Tumblr media
it has been a day - the stress piles on and on until you feel it's suffocating weight and all you can do is curl up in bed and cry. You promised yourself you wouldn't, yet here you are, and clutching your childhood stuffed animal close to your chest. Even now, for as ragged as it is, it brings comfort so it sleeps with you and Diluc.
"My fire, are you okay?"
You peek up, vision blurred to see Diluc standing there.
"Adelinde came and said she saw you beeline towards our room. You look upset." Diluc explains. "I ended the meeting to make sure you're okay."
You sniffle.
"But that's important." Another thing to feel guilty about and he's surprised by the tears. Diluc crosses the threshold and sits next to you. He pulls you close as you sob - the very thing that broke whatever grip you had on your emotions.
He rocks you, shushing you, and reassures you that you are amazing and he loves you and you're important. The sobs continue until you slowly fall asleep, held in his warm grip.
When you awake, you feel heavy but he still holds you, half asleep himself.
But he awakens when he feels you move.
"You okay, precious?" You sniffle and nod. "Do you wish to talk about it?" You stare down at the bed - there is no real reason for your tears. Bad days are just...bad days. And once more, Diluc is hugging you. He understands these days, where you seem to feel hopeless and the tears don't stop. A catalyst sets it off, stressful days become unmanageable.
He softly kisses your head.
"I am here, my beloved flame, I am here." He buries his face in your hair. You know if he could take away depression from you, he would.
And all you can do is cling to his words as fresh tears prick at your eyes and cling to him.
"I love you " you hiccup. "I'm sorry."
"Shh. I love you too, beautiful one. I'm here, I'm here." And it's where he stays until you're in a better headspace, he stays until your eyes light up again and you express want for food. He brings you your favorites - it's the best he can do, next to your enemies heads on silver platters, something you don't want.
"I love you." he tells you again, firmly. Remind, reiterate. You smile and lay against him. You are safe with him.
