pairings: diluc, kaeya and zhongli x gn!reader (seperate)
kaeya
You were drunk the first time Kaeya heard you sing. And Archons, was he glad you wouldnât remember him doubling over with laughter. He loved you, adored you, but he would be lying if he said you could sing.
âThank you to Venti the Bard for performing with me tonight,â You slurred, holding onto a chair to steady yourself. Venti was drunk himself and probably thought you sounded great with his clouded mind. The only reason Diluc hadnât kicked you out yet was because you were extremely entertaining.
Kaeya watched in horror as you climbed on top of a table, flipping an empty wine glass around to use a microphone, and belted out another chorus to the popular tavern song. It was so horribly off key that a few patrons had to plug their ears.
âThis one is dedicated to Kaeya,â You continued. Your words were mixing together and Kaeya was, still, shocked you only had a few shots. âHeâs my cinnamon roll.â
Kaeya cocked his head at your pet name but didnât have time to process it before you nearly fell off the table and made your way towards Kaeya. You wasted no time in throwing your legs over his lap and leaning into his touch, all the while singing the same song.
âWe should get you to bed,â Kaeya whispered in your ear.
His words angered you and you flung yourself away from your boyfriend. âBut my set isnât done!â You cried out. You gripped the wine glass tighter and flung around, pointing to a random knight and singing directly to him. The knight burst out laughing, tears forming in his eyes from laughing so hard, but you didnât realize what was going on.
Kaeya heaved himself up and wrapped a strong arm around you, prying the wine glass out of your hand. You hit one last high note, which made Kaeya visibly flinch, before bursting into a fit of giggles.
âIâll be here next week!â You yelled as Kaeya dragged you out of the tavern.
diluc
Ever since he was young, Diluc liked to sing. It was a private affair, of course, but if you asked Adeline, the maid could tell you hundreds of stories about his symphonic voice. When Diluc finally showed you this secret side to him, you were amazed. And all you wanted to do was sing with him.
The only problem? Singing was not your forte. In fact, you sounded like a dying cat when you sang. So, as much as you wanted to join in when Diluc hummed to himself while washing dishes, you refrained so you didnât burst his ear drums.
When you came home from work one day, you werenât surprised to see Diluc singing while he cleaned the windows of the Winery. Despite having an entire team of maids, Diluc still wanted to help out.
You recognized the song immediately - it was a popular holiday tune - and hid around the corner so you could beam in secret. When Diluc saw you, a smile spread onto his face and he beckoned you near him.
âSing with me,â He encouraged, putting down the rag.
You wrapped your arms around Dilucâs neck, âI donât sing.â
Diluc pressed his forehead against yours, âWhy?â
âBecause I canât sing.â
Your boyfriend only smiled deeper, âYou donât have to be good at something to have fun doing it.â Before you got a chance to respond, Diluc started to sing the next line. His voice trailed off at the end and, knowing what he was hinting at, you picked up.
Even the visible wince that crossed Dilucâs eyes didnât stop you and soon you and Diluc were whirling around the living room, singing horribly off-key to the song. Diluc didnât seem to mind your horrible singing voice, considering the fact his face was lighting up like a sky full of stars.
zhongli
Singing in the shower was your safe haven. You knew you couldnât sing well and the thought of anyone hearing you was horrifying, but in the shower you could hold a million concerts and no one could say anything about how you were tonedeaf. That is, until Zhongli came along.
When you moved in together, Zhongli took notice of your shower singing. He kept quiet about it for a while, not wanting to embarrass you, but eventually brought it to your attention.
âYou know I can hear you in the shower, right?â He asked as you both got ready for bed one night. His words caused you to freeze.
âThat wasnât me,â You stammered, your face turning red.
Zhongli queried, âNo? Then who do you have in the shower with you?â You said nothing and quickly got into bed, throwing your pillow over your face. You felt a hand rub your back and peeked out from underneath the cover, âItâs not a bad thing.â
âI sound like a tormented dog,â You muttered, âIt is a bad thing.â
âBut you have a good time, right?â
You threw the pillow away to look up at your boyfriend with confused eyes. âWhat are you talking about?â
Zhongliâs hand found your hair and twirled a lock of it between his fingers. He looked at you with admiration but you couldnât seem to figure out why. âI love seeing you enjoy yourself, Darling,â He said gently, âIt doesnât matter if your singing doesnât sound good. If it makes you happy, then thatâs all that matters.â
Your cheeks grew warm again and this time you buried your head into Zhongliâs chest, âYouâre too kind.â
He chuckled, âThough I do hope youâll sing a song to me one day, instead.â
