¡! oh, those ocean eyes | tartaglia

cw: fem reader (use of term wife but other than that no other pronouns); mentions of pregnancy; smut, very mild breeding / impreg kink ???, pet names (baby, sweetheart, angel)

wc: 3.4k

a/n: i hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did writing it, it's one of the longest things I've written in a long time

"welcome our soldiers and heroes back to our homeland after they have completed their task for our queen, the tsaritsa. please, welcome back the knave, ms. arlecchino and mr. tartaglia!“

your eyes widened at the announcement echoing throughout the entire nation.

how come you were not notified of his return? by the tsaritsa, you were so close to murdering someone in anger but this frustration quickly faded when you came back to the realization that your husband finally was home.

you immediately grabbed your jacket and went outside into the familiar freezing cold, everybody who knew you and your relationship with ajax congratulated you for his return which you returned with 'thank you's.

a small part of you wished they would just shut up and let you run to finally let you see your husband after four long months.

what state is he in? is he alright?

the questions and worries in your mind were so overpowering that you started to ignore the people who congratulated you and just started running on the slippery, icy grounds.

luckily, as you had become very familiar with these grounds, you didn‘t slip and fall; quickly arriving at the big entrance to zapolyarny palace where you were — again — stopped by the guards.

"halt! you can‘t simply enter the— oh, it‘s you! apologies, ma‘am, i had not noticed it was you. you may enter. welcome!", the guard said, tone firm, yet in some strange way, welcoming as well.

"thank you", you replied with a soft smile, as you entered the icy halls of the palace, immediately trying to figure out where your husband was.

"oh, hello, y/n!", arlecchino greeted you, as she was about to leave. "he‘s in the infirmary, getting patched up.“

before you could inquire about his current state, she just disappeared. with no further thoughts about this, you just ran towards the infirmary, finally spotting your husband in just a hospital gown as he bit into the pillow in pain when the nurse applied some disinfecting cloth on his wounds.

"hey, hey! stop! you‘re hurting him more like this“, you yelled, pushing the nurse away. being used to his … adventurous behavior, you had figured out how to take care of him as pain-free as possible. "can i take care of my husband myself?"

the nurse nodded before she rolled her eyes, mumbling something along the lines of 'why even let me do my job, just pretend you know it all better' which pissed you off even more.

"listen, you little bitch, you have no idea what i went through these last four months. now shut the fuck up and let me do my job. and not to forget, i was a nurse here with the fatui, too, for way longer than you probably even lived, until i married this idiot and he insisted on how he doesn‘t want me to work for my money. now piss off."

the nurse scoffed before she left and you were finally all alone with your husband.

"oh, you stupid, stupid idiot. how many times do i need to tell you to be more careful", you mumbled as you brushed some strands of hair out of his face.

ajax groaned in pain as he lifted his head, still trying to laugh to lighten up the whole situation. "if only you knew what i did all this time, you‘d be so proud of me", he laughed, making you smile.

"oh, i am proud of you either way, baby", you replied, planting a gentle kiss on his cheek. "you did so amazing. i can't wait for you to tell me everything. now, shut up, and let me get somebody to bring you home. alright? i’ll personally take care of you until you’re fully back to your health.”

you quickly stood up, calling for somebody and a low-rank agent arrived, greeting both of you with a quick bow; asking how he could be of assistance.

"i need somebody to escort me and my husband home. i'll be taking care of him myself in our home. would you please arrange a car for us?", you asked the agent, who eagerly nodded, excusing himself before he left the infirmary.

"let's get you dressed, honey", you mumbled, carefully helping him to turn around; wincing as you heard his groans in pain and you quickly ready his clothes to put them on. as he was finally dressed, the agent returned, and announced a car was ready for departure.

"hold on, dearest, may i talk to you?", the cold, yet sweet voice of the one person you always loved to chat with echoed through the freezing hallways of the palace.

you immediately stood, bowing slightly at the sight of the tsaritsa. “of course.” you quickly turned your attention to childe, telling him you’d be back shortly before you followed the usually icy queen to her only warm and comforting room.

��is there something i can do for you, your highness?”, you asked carefully; after all, she was an archon. as much as she asked for some casual chats and invited you for tea because of your relationship with childe – and because she never got to have somebody to chat with as she does with you–, she was still the person you worshiped all your life. at least, before you got to meet her as childe’s fiancée for the first time personally as he went to her for her blessing.

his loyalty to her was something else, and if you weren’t just the same towards her, you’d probably be incredibly jealous.

“just tell me… is he doing okay?”, she asked, her voice soft and at the brink of breaking.

it was unbeknownst to all but childe was somehow her favorite of all her harbingers. it was not because of his successes but because of how courageous and yet caring he was despite his young age, especially compared to all the other harbingers. “he will be fine. i’ll take care of him. he is doing quite okay, the medic on the travel home made more than enough notes on his recovery process to allow me to personalize a therapy plan. he will be out of commission for a few weeks, however. i’ll try my best to get him back on his feet as soon as possible.”

“please, don’t be afraid to contact any of the agents if there is anything you require. we will make sure ajax is well taken care of.”

ajax. she rarely called him that – actually, she never did; in your presence at least. your eyes teared up as she offered you her full support, and before you knew it, you were already embraced in her arms and sobbing, seeking comfort in one of the two only people you had placed your trust in throughout your entire life.

“i’m sorry, your highness, i did not mean to break down like this.”

“no need to apologize, my child, you have every right to feel this way. i can’t even imagine living with the most horrible thoughts of your loved one in danger with no chance of communication on his well-being. please don’t hesitate to ask for anything you need, yes?”

“thank you, your highness. i will return to him now and get him home. i’ll make sure he’s well taken care of”, you stood up, bowing slightly in front of her before you made your way back to the infirmary, smiling slightly as you saw childe bickering with an agent about how he could walk by himself and does not need any support.

“leave it to me. i know how to handle this big baby here”, you chuckled, shaking your head. “can’t you just agree to play the sick and hurt card here for once? i want to pamper you like you deserve, my dearest prince.”

“you know i can’t”, he laughed lightly, grabbing your hand as you both walked out of the infirmary and the palace as quickly as he was able to. once you were ready for departure, you leaned against his shoulder, taking in a shaky breath.

“did you cry?”, he mumbled, placing a gentle kiss on your forehead. you could only nod, tears rolling down your cheeks as you embraced the emotions you tried so hard to suppress all this time; finally allowing yourself to be so weak in front of your husband and it felt so good as you cried, sobbed and he comforted you with occasional “shh”’s and “it’s all okay”’s.

once you arrived home, you helped him out of the car and towards the house, smiling as you saw the bunch of flowers and tiny gifts scattered all over the front porch. “everyone’s so happy you’re back, it seems”, you giggled. “as am i, love. i missed you so much.”

you settled him on the couch, firing up the woods in the chimney, and sat down next to him, gently brushing through his hair. “please, let me know if you need anything. i’ll be here for you, yeah?”

“stop stressing out so much, baby, just lay down with me here and let me hug you. i missed your touch too much to stay away from you right now.”

you sighed lightly, chuckling softly as you laid down next to him and looked up at him, staring at his sparkling eyes as he stared at you with so much love in his whole body, it seemed like the pain he was feeling suddenly didn’t matter, simply because he was with you now.

“i love you so much, sweetheart. i never meant to worry you as much as i did. i know that you cried when her majesty asked you for a quick talk. i heard your sobs. i’m okay, though. i’m safe and with you now, hm? just give a couple of days and i’ll be up on my feet again”, he chuckled lightheartedly, kissing your forehead softly.

“yeah, right. as if i’m going to let you”, you scoffed before you giggled, shaking your head. “you, my good sir, are going to stay laying right on this couch until i allow you to get up. i might let you go to our bedroom, though, but chances are low as of now.”

“we’ll see about that”, he whispered suggestively, smirking as he saw you biting your lip.

“you know what? maybe i should just tie you up to our bed, hm? so, that you can’t escape me”, you replied with a giggle. “you’ve been away from me for way too long, i just need to be with you here.”

“and you have me, right here with you. i don’t plan on leaving until you clear me for missions and her majesty has another task for me. i love you. so much, baby. you deserve the world for always being so patient with me whenever i get sent on a mission over a long period of time. and i would give you the world if i could”, he whispered. “you’re so incredible for the patience you have with me.”

the moment he kissed you properly for the first time after four long months, and it was the most gentle and sensual kiss you experienced in a long time. and despite his injuries, he didn’t hesitate to pull you on his lap, promising he wasn’t hurting as much anymore as he did earlier.

“you take care of me so well, sweetheart. i owe you at least one bit of indulging”, he chuckled, softly brushing through your hair. “it’s just your little reward for being such a good and patient girl for me, baby.”

you shuddered at how he was speaking to you like he hadn’t just returned from one of the longest battles of his life. “mhm, i missed the way you feel against my lips. i missed the way you taste, the way you whine when i pull away for a short breather. you’re still my beautiful needy girl, aren’t you, baby?”, he mumbled, peppering gentle kisses all over your neck.

you were only able to nod, sighing in bliss as you started getting distracted by his soft ministrations. “i am”, you mumbled, smiling innocently. and he was so whipped for you, that he wasn’t noticing any of the pain he was experiencing because of the way you made him feel.

“that’s a good girl”, he mumbled, smiling as he placed a gentle kiss on your lips.

over the four months he had spent on travels, he had been waiting the most for this moment – to finally hold you in his arms, kissing you as gently as possible – because he had missed you so, so much.

it was all that was in his mind when he fought that all-devouring narwhal for almost two months straight with no break whatsoever. all he could think of was holding you in his arms again, having you on top of him, underneath him, just having you with him. it didn’t matter, nothing mattered to him as long as you were there.

“i love you so much, sweetheart”, he whispered once more before he kissed you so desperately, yet so lovingly, it made you feel so dizzy. ajax poured all the love he felt for you into this kiss, as he slowly made moves to remove your clothing, having missed the feeling of you naked on top of him.

“n-no, ajax, we shouldn’t. y-you’re hurt, and… i could never forgive myself if i ever hurt you in this way”, you mumbled, trying to get up from his lap but he stopped you with yet another kiss, smiling softly.

“i’m doing a lot better, angel. don’t worry about me, yeah? i’m okay. and i just want to be close to you. let me remember how good it feels to be with you. it has been way too long and way too lonely all this time”, he tried to milden your worries.

with slight hesitation, you nod, slowly helping him remove his clothes, too, as he winced when a short bit of pain coursed through his body. “i’m so sorry, i knew this was a horrible idea”, you sighed, shaking your head.

“shh, relax, sweetheart, i’m okay. don’t worry, i can handle a little bit of pain”, he chuckled, shaking his head. “you worry too much, angel. i’ll be fine. if i can’t handle you right now, it’s because you’re too fucking hot.”

your cheeks were burning as you heard his stupid compliment – he always knew how to make you embarrassed and feel so stupidly in love with him. sometimes it felt like, ajax wasn’t your husband but you two were still stuck in the freshly dating stage, just because of how random his compliments were.

“idiot”, you mumbled, smiling as you leaned down. the fire in the chimney was keeping both of you warm enough, yet the way he touched you had you shivering.

“well, i’m your idiot. there’s no way you can get rid of me”, he chuckled, slowly starting to tease your clit with his thumb as you let out a needy whimper to which he couldn’t help laughing. “cute.”

“stop teasing, idiot”, you whined, “i need you.”

“mhm, baby, i know you do. you’re so wet for me already, drenching those cute little panties of yours because you missed me, huh?” you could only nod as he increased the pressure on your clit, eyes rolling back as the pleasure coursed through your body.

“mhm, oh, fuck”, was the only reply you could get out.

“god, i missed those pretty little sounds you let out”, he groaned, slowly pushing the fabric of your panties aside and aligning his cock with your entrance, before he slowly pushed himself inside, having you cry out as you felt so full of him, your body needing a moment to adjust taking your dearest husband in again.

“so full of me, aren’t you, angel?”, he let out a grunt as you slowly started moving up and down his cock, whining as he filled you up so good, making you feel dizzy from all the pleasure each time his cock hit your g-spot.

“mhm, ajax, please”, you cried, thoughts started to blur as you slowly got closer and closer to the edge, you felt pathetic for being unable to control yourself but the need you had felt throughout the long time of distance from your husband was overwhelming you.

“wanna cum, baby? mh, please, come for me, hm? make a mess, i don’t care. just make yourself feel good on my cock. i’ll come deep inside of you if you do, angel; gonna give you that baby we always wanted, hm? how does that sound, sweetheart?”, he babbled, eyes rolling back as he, too, got closer to his orgasm. “gonna fill you up so good, angel, just make me proud and come for me.”

it was as if on cue when you suddenly shuddered and lost all control of your body for a moment. the dizzying pleasure was overwhelming every fiber of your body as you couldn’t hold yourself up anymore and just slumped down on his body, hugging him as carefully as you could.

you clenching around him so tightly triggered his own release as he let out a groan, finally coming buried deep inside of you.

“i missed this. i missed you, ajax. much more than i could ever put into words”, you whispered. he chuckled softly, nodding.

“same for me, angel. i missed you a lot and am so happy i’m back with you now”, he replied in a slightly breathless but content and happy tone. “and perhaps… we can focus throughout my time off in recovery on us and… maybe attempt for the baby we always wanted? her highness gave me the go for as much time off as i require and… i don’t know… that was all i was thinking of all this time.”

“well… in that case…”, you started, biting your lip in excitement. “i have great news.”

you got off him, giggling as his cum trickled down your thighs, and grabbed the gift box you had prepared for him. he sat up confusedly, watching your every move until you returned to him and gave the box to him.

he opened the box and inspected the insides as he picked up the baby shoes and the positive pregnancy test result from your doctor and looked at you with a confused gaze in his eyes. as the realization hit, his eyes teared up and he smiled so brightly.

“are you…?”

you nodded excitedly and giggled when he touched your tummy and you saw the happy tears roll down his cheeks. “i went to the doctor when i just couldn’t stop feeling nauseous and constantly throwing up. and then he just… confirmed my suspicions actually. i had a feeling it might be a pregnancy but i just didn’t want to… believe it, i guess? but yeah, uhm, this happened when i… well, we, had our… goodbye fuck”, you giggled as you couldn’t find a better wording. he laughed with you, shaking his head.

“and since you’re clear of any missions for the time being until you’re back to your duties, i thought this was the perfect moment to tell you.”

“you made me the happiest man right now, baby. wait… does my family know?”, he chuckled. “they do, don’t they? that’s why teucer sent me a letter saying that you got a surprise for me, hm?”

you giggled as you nodded. “i did tell him not to tell you anything but he asked if he could at least do that. and the thought of teasing you all the way over here was too tempting.”

“you’re such a fucking minx. i love you, so much”, he mumbled as he pulled you into a hug, cuddling as you relaxed in his arms. “another question… did the doctor clear you for sex? i hope this wasn’t too much on you just now. god, now i feel terrible for talking you into–”

“shh, you didn’t force me or anything. i’m fine. the doctor said it’s alright”, you giggled, kissing him gently on the cheek. “let’s sleep a little, huh? let me grab a blanket quickly and let’s sleep.”

once you cleaned yourself up and grabbed a blanket, you laid down next to your already sleeping husband, hugging him as you, too, slowly fell asleep in the comfort of his arms and finally were able to sleep properly through one night with no worries in your mind.

Hello! Could I request Childe with a mute/shy reader? Can be sfw or nsfw (if you write nsfw) it’s up to you :)

Hiya!! You absolutely can! This is my first time writing a mute reader so I hope you enjoy and it's okay!! Thank you so much for your request!! <3

───⊰⁠⊹ฺ✿Childe X Reader⊰⁠⊹ฺ✿───

{༻~Mute/Shy Reader~༺}

CW: NSFW! Smut!! DNI Minors! Includes: Fingering, sex, cumming inside and GN! reader!

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Childes breath was warm against your neck, his ginger hair messy from your fingers and his shirt undone, showing his bare chest. Your heart was racing, your face blushed a bright red as he leaned in and gave you another deep kiss, just like the one that originally started this, except this time he was far more eager.

You gasped as he bit down on your bottom lip gently, his hands trailing down your body, exploring it hungrily as if this would be the last time he ever could. His fingers pausing at the band of your underwear as he looked up at you, a glint in his eyes as he pulled them down so agonizingly slow, watching your every reaction with a smirk on his face.

You wiggled beneath him impatiently, feeling flustered as he leaned in close to your ear, his fingers dangerously close to your opening...yet not close enough to give you what you wanted, what you craved. His voice was abnormally deep with lust as he whispered into your soft skin, "You're so beautiful...I can't wait to do every. Single. Thing. I've been thinking...." He emphasized his words clearly for you, taking pride in the shiver that ran through you.

Without warning he slipped one of his digits inside of you, your whole body tightening around it and sparking with heat in your lower regions. You gasped breathlessly as he added a second digit, pumping them in and out of you slowly at first, spreading you for him...adjusting you so you'd comfortably fit his large size. "So tight...just for me~" He said, his lips planting kisses on your collarbone as you grinded yourself onto his fingers, it felt so good...but it still wasn't enough...you needed him.

You tugged on his hair and with that his smirk grew, "So impatient..." He whispered, pulling out his fingers and licking them clean, before removing his undergarments to reveal his hard erection, the top of it white with precum and the size of it making you quiver nervously. He placed a reassuring hand on your thigh as he used his other to guide himself to your entrance, his eyes flicked to yours watching for any sign of pain as he sunk his member deep inside of you, your back arching as you took his whole length.

Tears welled in your eyes from the slight pain of it, but the pleasure was there too, your mind clouded with dirty thoughts as you squirmed, trying to get friction. He took that as a invitation, pulling himself out till just the tip was in you and then harshly pushing himself back in, groaning at the feeling of your tight walls around his dick. You mouth hung open as he started to pound into you at a fast pace, his hands now on your waist holding your body against his.

The sound of skin slapping against skin filling the room along with his load groans and moans, your nails digging into the clothing on his back as he fucked you senselessly, your mind turning to mush in his hands. "Fuck mmmm so good~" He moaned as he dipped his head down starting to suck on your neck, leaving marks for everyone to see and to show off when the two of you were in public.

You felt your climax sneaking up on you, your body in pure bliss as he recognised your insides, but you wanted him to cum with you, to fill you up in that wonderful way only he could do. His thrusts became uneven, sloppy as you placed a shaking hand on his chest. Suddenly he gave one harsh push into you, his dick hitting the most perfect spot and making you finish instantly, your eyes rolling back, your mouth hanging open.

"Oh FucK" He said as he watched you, his hot white cum filling you up, spilling slightly out onto the sheets as he rode out his high. His breathing was uneven and as he stared down at you, your clothes crumpled and your entrance stretched to fit him, dripping with his love...,"I hope...you're ready for round two..."

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Difference

Pairing: Childe x Reader

Summary :You sidled up to the window, unlatching the glass and drawing the man in front of you by the neck of his jacket in for a kiss. His lips are soft, and his hands rise to your arms, holding tight and deepening the embrace in which you were held - eyes fluttering shut as breaths caressing your cheeks. You pulled away softly, and slowly - nothing burned brighter than the affection you felt for the man in front of you.

Tags:Hurt No Comfort,Implied/Referenced Sex,Fluff and Angst, and Angst

A/N: the summary is an excerpt because im lazy as shit and don't know how to summarize this piece

There is nothing but comfort when you wake, slow and drowsy and ultimately comfortable after the night you've just had. You've forgotten what yesterday was all about, but you did remember some details. There was the unmistakable feeling of a tiredness that clung to your skin, aiding the stretch of your arms and legs to be pleasantly rousing. You sighed into the warm air, feeling sunlight settle on your face.

Next to you, someone shifts.

You feel a brief amount of surprise shock itself into your bones, before catching a glimpse of bright hair - oh, you remembered Childe, of course. Who wouldn't?

You remember the pleasant day you had spent with him, walking amongst the abandoned plateaus of Liyue, enjoying the smooth breeze as it floated up against the two of you. The nearby Liyue harbor was pretty, but you couldn't help but think that there was nothing more beautiful than your beloved, quick on his feet and light with his laugh, as he would move behind you to wrap you in his arms and press a kiss to your hair.

"This is everything I've always wanted," Childe would whisper against your skin. "We were destined to walk these roads together."

The inn hadn't been far away, and there was no further place than Snezhnaya - and although a local inn near Liyue wasn't the most private place to stay, it had been the safest option. Even so, you had gone into the inn alone, and booked a room for one. There had been no need to establish a paper trail.

You had brought him to your room, through the window, to avoid anyone's suspicion. He looked so pretty outside your window, knocking to be let in, moonlight reflecting in his eyes and illuminating his face. His smile - soft and sweet and almost genuine - sparked emotion in your chest.

You sidled up to the window, unlatching the glass and drawing the man in front of you by the neck of his jacket in for a kiss. His lips are soft, and his hands rise to your arms, holding tight and deepening the embrace in which you were held - eyes fluttering shut as breaths caressing your cheeks. You pulled away softly, and slowly - nothing burned brighter than the affection you felt for the man in front of you. As you pulled away to allow Childe through the window, you could do nothing but rest your eyes on him.

He really was easy on the eyes, as he raised his head to catch your gaze, lowering the window shut with no sound at all. Childe was pretty - devastatingly so - and had the confidence to match. Flustering you was one of his favorite activities, with hushed words and aimed exhales and a smirk that never failed to make your knees run weak.

"Hey, baby," he had purred, and approached you.

"Hello, darling," you had teased right back - though your words didn't have as much of an outward effect on your beloved as his words did on you. Your face was a warm, flushed mess already - and you still had the entire night to spare.

Your mouths met in a kiss once again. Burning with desire, you fell back onto the bed.

And now, it was raining.

The soft pattering of water against the window had replaced the sun during your moments of reminiscing, and you found yourself regretful - forlorn, even.

What were you thinking?

It wasn't the regret of a one-night-stand, no - moreso the memories that trickled in with your pleasant day, flashes of secret dates and not quite an affair, but a prior commitment. It was clear - it had been previously made clear by the man you loved so dearly himself - Childe was not in a position to take a lover.

The reason was to be damned - it was clearly his job, and this was made clear by none other than Teucer, your love's brother, who you had met on pure accident one day. If Childe had kept his job a secret from his family - the people who he placed above everyone in this forsaken land...

Based on the way that Childe was still pretending to be asleep, there was no doubt about it - you would not be walking out of this inn satisfied.

"Good morning," you plead, and hope your voice doesn't come out as desperate as you feel. "The rain is nice."

There are never pleasantries in a Harbinger's world.

"This shouldn't have happened," Childe murmurs, and some part of your stomach sinks beneath the realm of retrieval.

"It could be different, with me - right?" You ask, unable to dare and look him in the eyes. "I understand your line of work. I could - archons, Childe, I don't know." Your face burned with shame.

The arm that had lingered against your shoulder - the only source of warmth that had connected you to him - moved away. With a mixture of shock, anger, and stone-cold hurt forming a ball in your stomach, you couldn't help but yearn for his warmth again.

"I wish it could be different," Childe admitted, and if you were not hanging onto his every breath, you would have easily missed the agony clinging to his words.

"Why can't it be this way?" You ask again.

There's silence from your side. Then, "It's too dangerous. I can't having you get hurt." You know from the past, when you've saved his hide many times during a fight, that he's trying to convince himself as much as you.

Tears brim in your eyes as you stare blankly at the ceiling. "I understand," you placate.

You do not understand. Not in the slightest.

"Give me your name," you bargain - something to take with you, to hold precious; something to show he belonged to you.

"I'm sorry," he says, and you wonder when the last time you've heard him apologize was. The words are foreign to you.

You turn to face him, and settle a hand along his stomach. Your fingers rest just above his waistband.

"Once more," you plead.

"Alright."

It feels everything like love, and nothing like how it should end.

The moment they realize they love you

Characters: Xiao, Kaeya, Childe

Genre: Fluff/Comfort, angst Did Xiao ghost you? Yes, he did :')

Part One

Amidst the darkness of his life, there's you, who can make him feel more alive than he's ever felt. Was this what they call love?

Xiao is confused at first, eyes constantly on you to observe - figure out why he was feeling like this around you. Only you. It's not like you had done something to him, that thought made him scoff. You were just a normal human with a Vision. A beautiful human that was kind and warm, welcoming him back to the Inn when he returned from his duties. You always had a plate of almond tofu ready for him, too.

His heart would jump against his rib cage, startling him. Words evaded him as he stared down at the plate of food that reminded him of pleasant dreams. A feeling he also got with you, joyful, peaceful where he can forget about his karmic debt. That only made him love -

"Xiao?"

The Adeptus had stopped mid-bite, shocked about his own thoughts. That couldn't be right, he couldn't...! Xiao stood abruptly and with a quick glance your way he vanished.

A worried frown forms on your lips, looking down at the barely eaten plate of his favorite food. Maybe he didn't feel like eating? Either that or someone possibly called his name. With your bubble of worry holding steady inside your chest, you go ahead and save his plate for when he returns.

To you, he never did.

Kaeya has always known he loves you, and his feelings will not change. Acting upon them was a different story.

You had grown up with him and Diluc, the three of you the best friends up until that night. While he might have lost his brother, you didn't care for who he really was or why mondstadt. He was your friend, you loved him. Kaeya had simply given you a teary-eyed smile when you yelled those words at him, the air around him freezing with the new vision he held in his hand tightly.

Your own vision was Hydro.

The thought made him snicker in his drink, causing you to stop talking and look at him in confusion. The two of you were just so compatible.

"Don't mind me," Kaeya said, shrugging off your adorably confused stare. "Please, continue. I want to know what happened."

Giving him a suspicious stare for a few seconds, you shake your head and continue with your story. Kaeya smiled behind his cup admiring your features while you spoke. You were beautiful, inside and out and after this long, the time has only comforted Kaeya that you really weren't going anywhere anytime soon.

I'll tell them. he thinks. Someday.

Childe reacts almost instantly. A wave of emotions flooded him all at once that he couldn't decide which one to act upon. He loves you. He loves you! Elation fills him and he just wanted to wrap you tightly in his arms and shield you from everything. Even himself.

Especially himself.

The guilt came second as he watched you help a few Liyue citizens. You deserve better than him, a mentally sane person who can love you normally. Was it even love he felt? A part of him wonders that maybe he was mistaking it for obsession and dependency. He needed you just as much as he needed to prove himself in a fight.

But then you turn to him, the smile you give him making those thoughts fade to the back of his mind. As you approach him the sun setting behind you formed a halo around you.

You definitely deserved better, but there was no way in Tevyat that was he going to allow another person to receive your warmth. Having settled his mind, Childe threw his arms around you, pulling you into him to be held tightly, maybe a tiny bit painful but you didn't mind.

Rather he voiced it or not, you were his.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒘 | 𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒍𝒊𝒂

contains: unprotected sex, established relationship, fem!bodied reader, oral (both), fingering (fem receiving), mentions of a ceiling mirror lol, very loving and whipped bf childe <3, overstimulation, very self indulgent, where is my gamer bf ; repost from my old blog @/y0imyas

reblogs and feedback are very appreciated <3

you really didn’t want to disturb him.

it wasn’t like he would be mad or anything about you going in while he’s gaming and talking to him - in fact, he would be very excited to finally see you. yet you knew that childe didn’t have time to play his games with his friends for a few days now and you knew he deserved a break more than anything after working so much the past couple of days.

yet, you needed his attention so much in that moment. especially after seeing how pent-up from everything he looked from losing multiple matches over and over. and he looked hot. and it didn’t help that the weather was extremely hot and childe had taken off his shirt, sitting there with only his shorts as you watched his muscular body tense up once again while he talked to his friends.

his eyes widened at you suddenly crawling under the table and pulling down said shorts to press soft kisses on his tip. his body tensed up even more while you started to stroke his cock at the same time with your hand to get him harder.

“wha-”

“shh, don’t talk. just … continue playing”, you whispered as you looked up to him with a little smile on your lips before you took his tip into your mouth and heard him breath in sharply. it took him all sort of self-control not to moan out at you twirling your tongue around his tip and he looked down to see you smiling up to him.

childe let out a particularly loud groan when you started to take him a little deeper into your mouth. you had thought it would be good to surprise him as he was already stressed out and tense from work and losing the games. and just hearing those little grunts and groans made you clench your thighs together.

he couldn’t even focus on his game anymore. so, he just announced to his friends in the voice chat – in which he had muted himself in, because fuck no, he wasn’t going to let them hear him get sucked off – that he would be going offline as ‘there was something else he needed to take care of’. before you could even react, he was already pulling you up from your uncomfortable spot under the desk and was pressing his lips on yours. he was quick to have you sit on the desk while he was standing between your legs.

“god, what did i do to deserve you?”, he asked as he trailed his lips down your neck and you closed your eyes in bliss. your lips formed a little ‘o’ as he proceeded to pull on your shirt to suck on your one nipple while he was pinching the other one roughly. getting impatient, he took it off to press light kisses all over your stomach. “so cute and adorable when you were trying to suck me off, darling.”

he finally pulled down your own shorts, leaving you all naked in front of him. he looked into your eyes which sent a shudder through your body, making him smile. after all this time you still shivered at the way he looked at you. his voice got so much deeper all of a sudden; “all you wanted was some attention, right? you could’ve just asked but decided to go such ways, my love. unnecessary waste of time. you know, i love to give you all the attention you want. all you need to do is to ask.”

“i just wanted to make you feel good”, you mumbled as a reply. your fingers were tangled up in his hair from the sweet kisses he had given you just now. “i know you’ve been stressed out lately and i didn’t want to disturb you from your gaming because you deserved this time with your friends more than anything.”

childe realized once again how much in love he was with you. you were so considerate and showed him how much you loved him every single day in every way possible.

he then finally put his thumb on your clit, slowly and softly massaging over the sensitive spot and making you breathe in sharply. childe was being extra slow and it felt like there was almost no pressure coming from his thumb that would make you lose your mind and have your eyes roll back like usually with him. “please”, you said with a soft voice.

he had this smug smirk on his lips that made you realize how he was going to tease you – probably to the point you’re on the verge of tears, maybe even actually crying before he finally makes you cum on only his fingers and maybe his mouth, too.

“sorry? i don’t think i got that. would you please repeat it, my love?”, he said while starting to rub your clit with a little more pressure, before he stopped to listen to your breaking voice beg for him.

“please, just …”, you didn’t know what you were asking for anymore; all you wanted was his attention on you and you got that now. “just please make me come. all i wanted was your attention and i know i should’ve just asked, but just didn’t want to disturb you.”

“i know, darling, i know. i’m just messing with you after. i want to make you feel good, yeah? i was just kidding, darling, i just wanted to hear you beg for me”, he reassured you with a giggle before he proceeded with softly circling his thumb around your clit and multiple soft pecks on your lips. “do you want me to continue?” your quick nodding made him chuckle once again before he leaned in and softly kissed you on the lips once again, this time longer than the previous ones.

he loved doing that – giving you soft, little and playful kisses on the lips. they made you happy and your soft giggles warmed his heart. at times like this he felt extremely lucky to be yours and that you were his.

childe was extremely sweet during foreplay. well, most of the time. he would take his time pleasuring you with his tongue or fingers alone. at other times, however, he would be so impatient to finally take you, raw and with nothing holding him back. today was one of the days he felt even more … generous than usual with the foreplay.

he was quick to make you come on his fingers once; oh, those beautiful, long fingers that made you see stars so quickly. the way they reached deeper than yours could ever – you loved his hands and fingers.

then he took his time with eating you out – he always talked about how much he loved it and the taste of you. childe was such a giving lover; you sometimes couldn’t handle it. he managed to make you cum just on his tongue so quickly, it took you a couple of moments to calm down again.

“ajax, please”, you were breathless as you tangled up your fingers in his hair to pull him up to look at him properly. his chin and lips were glistening with his spit and your cum; he quickly brushed it away with his thumb and licked the remaining cum away – and he once again had this smirk on his lips, knowing the effect on this tiny little action on you. your whole body was shaking from the aftermath of the two orgasms he managed to pull out of you back to back.

he was quick to take you down from his desk, have you lay down on your shared bed and climb on top of you. the deep, loving gaze made you feel the same butterflies you were feeling just moments ago once again. “i love you”, childe mumbled as he buried his face into your neck, placing soft kisses on the sensitive skin and making you whine.

“can you please just … fuck me now? i have been waiting patiently, ajax. please.” you were on the verge of tears – just as he intended to – as you felt his tip on your sensitive clit with which he had been previously playing around with his thumb while he was eating you out.

“how can i say no to you?”, he replied before he aligned himself with your hole and slowly thrusted in. your eyes rolled back as the overstimulation kicked in and made you squirm around – to which he grabbed your legs and held them firmly. the grip was so tight that you were sure there was going to be light bruises tomorrow.

childe started off with a rather slow pace, not wanting to overwhelm you too much anymore. however, you clenching around him so tightly made him forget about that and he was quick to fasten his pace. your moans grew louder and you were already so close once again.

his grunts were heavenly to listen to – you could swear you would be able to get off to them alone so easily. as you closed your eyes in bliss, he roughly grabbed your chin to make you look at him. “eyes open, darling. i need you to watch how i rearrange your fucking guts”, he grunted out. the sudden action made you once again roll your eyes back.

right, the mirror. he insisted on the mirror right over the bed as you moved in together because “it would make things interesting”. his words. you tried to focus on your reflection on top of you.

watching his rough thrusts you noticed how tense his entire body had become in focus of pleasuring you. however, that wasn’t the how things were supposed to be. you wanted to make him feel relaxed and destress. yet, you also knew being a giving lover, this was his way of relaxing – by seeing you lose your mind while he rearranges your guts.

all those thoughts disappeared when childe delivered a particularly hard thrust that made you moan out loudly and close your eyes for a moment, as you finally felt him come inside of you. he let out a deep groan that had you focus on his heavy breaths.

you watched his body relax over you as he continued with a couple more slower thrusts to ride out his orgasm and he proceeded with trying to get you to your release with his fingers rubbing over your clit. the way you finally clenched around him as you came made him groan out once again.

he doesn’t remember the last time he had come this hard. maybe it was the way you kept on insisting to make him relax and tried to suck him off by surprise – which his ego just didn’t accept. he lived off your reactions to him giving you all the pleasure he possibly could. and today, those reactions were particularly turning him on.

once he pulled out, he watched his cum drip out of you on the sheets. oh, how much he loved to watch you be unable to take everything he has to give to you.

that alone made him want to go again, his cock once again hard against his belly. he was quick to pull you on top of him as he was sitting up against the headboard and you were sitting on his lap. “ride me. please”, he mumbled. “i know you’re sensitive and just want to sleep but–”

you interrupted his little “speech” by aligning your hole with his cock and pushing yourself down on him. he looked up into the mirror as you slowly started off to ride him and the look alone of your struggling to take him could’ve made him come again like a horny teenager. “oh, god, ajax”, you sighed at the way he felt inside of you, making you feel all those butterflies and shivers down your spine.

childe put his arms around your waist as you lost any remaining energy in your body and slumped down against his chest. “please, i … can’t”, your voice was so breathless and hoarse. “i just wanted you to feel good and wanted to help you destress but … too much.”

“come on, my love, you can do this one more time”, he started off to thrust up into your abused hole and made you cry out loudly, this time with tears rolling down your cheeks and he felt them drop on his skin. he knew he was close and could tell the same about you by the way you started clenching around him so tightly.

he let out the prettiest and whiniest moan when he finally came inside of you once again. childe didn’t remember the last time he was this sensitive but he liked the feeling. he slowly pulled out again, slowly rolling you around to have you lay on your back. “didn’t…”, you mumbled.

oh, he couldn’t have his pretty baby be this close and not come for him again. he placed a soft kiss on your clit and proceeded to finger you until he felt you come for the last time for the night, his fingers were coated in a mix of his cum and your slick. he softly tapped your lips with his fingertips and made you suck them clean. “i’m so proud of you, darling. don’t worry about anything, just let me clean you up and we’ll sleep, yeah?”, he said and you nodded with a smile on your lips. he quickly did what he promised and hugged you tight as he put the blanket over the both of you.

“i love you”, you said, almost asleep and made him smile brightly. oh, and how much he loved you, too.

SAY YOU'RE MINE childe fic

a/n: first chapter yay! Future chapters will be better lol

wc: 1.5k

"I hope you can understand that I am involved with someone else," Childe stated stoically, taking a sip of his coffee. He sat down confidently, displaying an air of ownership over the place. With little interest in engaging in idle chat with you, "For all I care, you may have another lover as well, but please refrain from meddling in my affairs."

You felt a twinge of annoyance at his nonchalant words, realizing that he meant little to no harm in them. "I understand," you replied curtly. "I suppose we should only interact when it concerns work matters? It would be best to exercise caution, especially given the attention the media tends to give to any associations."

As your phone rang, you quickly excused yourself and left the room, leaving Childe to contemplate his thoughts. He had never truly conversed with you despite knowing you for some time. You had always seemed out of reach, with an air of superiority that both intrigued and intimidated him.

But his thoughts soon drifted to Lumine, his true love. She was everything he had ever wanted in a partner - strong-willed, intelligent, and strikingly beautiful. Unlike others, she had no interest in his inheritance or status; all she wanted was him. She was perfect.

Amidst his musings, Childe realized that he had never really known much about you. While your demeanor had always struck him as impressive, he could not say he knew much about you beyond that. Since he was a young child, he never made any effort to speak to you, assuming you'd ignore him.

"My apologies, may we continue?" You softly smiled, taking your seat on the chair across from him. "We'll have to act as if we are deeply in love with each other, even if we don't. The people close to us will most likely know of our situation, but the public should not."

As he grew bored, Childe began moving his coffee cup in small, quick circles. He had never been comfortable with the idea of pretending to be in love with someone, but he knew it was necessary to protect both his and your reputation. He couldn't afford any more negative publicity, especially not with his upcoming business deals.

"I understand," Childe replied, looking up at you with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. "I'll do what needs to be done, but understand that this isn't something I'm comfortable with or something that I particularly enjoy."

You gave a small nod, your eyes meeting his in mutual understanding. The two of you knew what needed to be done, even if it wasn't something you particularly wanted.

Neither of you wanted to be married. Sure, Childe wanted to be married to Lumine, but why did his family choose you? Why were you considered the woman of his dreams, and not her?

"The announcement party is tonight, so I expect you'll know how to act," you got up from your seat, heading towards your office.

______________

The elegant ballroom was filled with an air of anticipation as the company dinner commenced. You were dressed in a stunning gown and stood by your father's side, your heart beating nervously in your chest. You knew what was about to happen, and it made you uneasy. Your father, a respected figure in the business world, had a habit of making grand announcements at these events, and tonight was no exception.

As the attendees chatted and enjoyed their meals, your father cleared his throat, commanding attention from the room. The murmurs died down, and all eyes turned to him. He wore a warm smile, seemingly proud of the announcement he was about to make.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, "I have some wonderful news to share with all of you tonight." The room fell into an expectant hush. "My daughter, Y/N, has found a partner who complements her in every way possible."

A soft gasp rippled through the crowd, and all eyes turned to you, "And it is with great pleasure that I announce her engagement to the esteemed Childe Tartaglia," your father continued, gesturing towards Childe, who was seated at a table nearby, wearing an impassive expression.

Surprised whispers filled the room. Childe, known for his adventurous spirit and daring business deals, wasn't exactly the conventional choice for a partner for someone as poised and reserved as you. The attendees exchanged glances, unsure of how to react to this unexpected revelation.

Your best friend, who was seated at the same table, leaned closer and whispered, "Are you sure about this, Y/N?"

You mustered a small smile. "I... I'm still trying to figure it out myself," you weren't exactly lying, so it wasn't a horrible thing to say.

The murmurs grew louder as people began discussing the engagement among themselves. Some raised eyebrows, expressing their doubts about the compatibility of the couple. Others seemed intrigued by the idea of such an unexpected union.

Meanwhile, Childe remained composed, sipping his wine as if the attention didn't faze him. But those who knew him well noticed a hint of unease in his eyes.

As the chatter continued, your father raised his glass, prompting everyone to follow suit. "To the happiness of my daughter and Childe, may their love and partnership flourish in the years to come!"

The toast was met with polite applause, but the uncertainty lingered in the air. Your mind swirled with conflicting emotions.

Throughout the evening, you tried to put on a brave face, engaging in small talk with the guests. But your mind was preoccupied with doubts and questions about your future.

As the night drew to a close, Childe approached you with a gentle smile. "You've handled tonight admirably," he remarked, seemingly unaffected by the skepticism around you.

"Thank you," you replied, your voice tinged with uncertainty. You saw him glance at his watch, a worried expression on his face. "What's the problem?"

"I have to go," Childe said, his voice tinged with regret.

You nodded, feeling a pang of sympathy for him. Despite his wealth and status, Childe didn't seem entirely happy with his life. And neither did you, for that matter. But for now, you had to put on a brave face and deal with the situation at hand.

"I understand. Take care, Childe," you replied, watching him as he walked away. As he disappeared into the crowd, you couldn't help but wonder what the future held for the two of you. Would you ever truly be happy together, or was this all just a facade for the sake of reputation and business deals?

Only time would tell. But for now, you had a role to play, and you had to play it well. You straightened your posture and put on your most charming smile, greeting the guests as they left the ballroom. It was going to be a long night, but you were determined to see it through.

As the guests began to trickle out, you couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over you. The night had been long and arduous, but you had managed to keep up appearances. Now, all you wanted to do was go home and relax.

As you made your way toward the exit, you felt a hand grasp your arm. You turned around to see your father, his expression conflicted.

"I'm sorry, Y/N," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I know this isn't what you wanted, but we have to do this. For the sake of our families."

You looked into his eyes, searching for any sign of sincerity. He seemed genuine, but his words only served to increase your unease. "I understand, Father," you replied, your voice barely above a whisper. "But I can't help feeling like this isn't what I want. I don't want to be forced into a marriage for the sake of business deals and reputation."

He sighed, his expression softening. "I know, Y/N. And I wish it didn't have to be this way. But we have to think about the bigger picture. Our families have a lot at stake, and we can't afford to let it all fall apart."

You nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. But that didn't change the fact that your heart was heavy with doubt and uncertainty. How could you possibly marry someone you barely knew, let alone loved? It seemed like a recipe for disaster.

"I'll do my best to make it work," you said, your voice resigned. "But I can't promise anything."

Your father reached out to take your hand, squeezing it gently. "I know it's not ideal, Y/N. But I believe in you. You're a strong and capable woman. And who knows? Maybe you'll grow to love him."

You forced a smile and nodded, even though the idea seemed impossible. Love was something that couldn't be forced or manufactured. It was either there or it wasn't.

Plus, how selfish could you be to steal a man already in love?

Before reading, please check series masterlist to read the warning(s), disclaimer, and to make sure you’re on the right chapter. Minors do NOT interact.

I appreciate the likes, replies, and reblogs! Thank you so much. If you like what I do, you can consider donating to my Kofi. Once again, thanks so much!

Grief is so hard to hide, isn't it?

Childe despised it. He despised how the illumination along the corridor's walls seemed to dim as he was moving through it. He despised how the people gathered outside his father's door bowed to him before lowering their heads once more with grave expressions.

Childe despised that he had to go through something like this again.

When the big door was opened, Tonia and Teucer's sobbing from next to the bed were the first thing that caught his ear. It was soft but, had the ability to cut his long-dead heart. On the other side of the room, you are standing next to his mother, stroking her shoulder and attempting to sooth her.

Childe despised grief since it reminded him of his mother's expression whenever he spoke of Anton.

“Ajax,”

His mother called out in between her sobs. His blue eyes were fixed on her, watching her struggled to gather the last of her energy to approach him and give him a weak hug. Why was she hugging him?

"Your father.." A sob. "He... he's gone."

Snezhnaya's king, King Alexander II, is gone. He's dead, and the only thing left to give the dead was a funeral. The royal family held it the next day, sending their nation into mourning and leaving both the royals and the people dressed in black.

However, not a single tear fell from Childe.

All he did was stand next to you while watching the funeral process being carried out. Beneath the memorial chapel, blue eyes follow the outline of the casket where his father lies.

Again, not a single tear fell from Childe.

“Ajax?”

It wasn't until you gently tugged on Childe's sleeve that he realized he was buried in his own thoughts. When he meets your eyes he can't help but wonder what you think of him now you see his face without the tear stains on his cheeks. He should be grieving, which means he should be crying, right?

Meanwhile, from your eyes, you notice that his blue eyes look even emptier than before.

You took a breath before saying, "We'll be returning to the palace soon."

“..Oh.” He gave you a delayed response.

But, you make no complaint about it. You gave him a quick peek through your black birdcage veil before hooking your hand on his, gently pulling to guide him to leave the building.

Childe detested grief because he found it weird.

The two of you stopped when a group of aristocrats came towards you both. One of them is Duke Maxim, whom you remember from having tea with you just before the incident. They bowed respectfully before rising to their feet.

“Your Highnesses.” Maxim greeted, turning completely to Childe then. "To encounter you again in such a setting... how unfortunate."

There is something about his voice that you don't like, even if you are unsure of what it is. Childe next to you is still in silence, either he doesn't know what to say or he is deaf to what is being spoken since he has been lost in his own thoughts during the entire funeral.

You chose to be the one who opened your mouth, “Duke Maxim, is there something you want to say?” you ask.

Maxim's face is hardly covering his real expression right now. Perhaps it's because of your tone, or perhaps he regards you as someone who doesn't deserve to hear what he has to say. Yet, he had little choice because Childe stood there with no response.

"I simply wanted to remind you that the meeting discussing the succession should be held today."

Now you know exactly what it is about his presence here that you dislike. Maxim did show respect for the deceased by wearing black like other nobles attending funerals, however, he lacked the modicum of common sense that told him that for someone to bring up the subject of inheriting the throne when the late king's coffin had just been closed was inappropriate.

Your jaw stiffens from your attempts not to curse him then and there. "Excuse my impoliteness but, can you show a little self-awareness? We just laid to rest the late King.” You didn't hide the venom dripping in your voice.

“Forgive my rudeness, but it appears Your Highness is unaware of the importance of a new king for Snezhnaya.” One of them opened their mouth. You fixed your sharp eyes on the arrogant looking man in military uniform.

It's so miraculous you haven't flung one of your high heels in their face.

"Would holding the conference on the day of the burial change anything?"

The rhetorical question comes from you, answered by none. You still try not to raise your intonation and cause a scene but, it feels impossible when they appear in front of you with their foolishness.

Your hands wrap around Childe's arms tighter than before, protective in case they intend to snatch him away from you (though you know that's unlikely). “Give my husband some time. If you're intelligent and empathetic in the slightest, you'll know you have to give him at least a week to process everything." you demand.

Neither of them dared to open their mouths after that. Wise decision, you think, considering your patience is growing thin.

One of them broke the silence with a faked cough. "Ahem, We will be back tomorrow morning then, Your Highness."

Both you and Childe gave no response to him, he used the opportunity to continue, "For the discussion regarding the succession and also the investigation of Prince Shiva."

Instantly, your eyes open wide to find the man trying to hold back his grin from coming out. He knew very well what he had said. The confusion and anger on your face is too obvious for them not to notice, yet they see no threat in it.

"Why on earth would you do that?" You grind your teeth.

"Surely that is obvious. All of this took place during the late king's meeting with him. It is only natural for us to suspect him.”

“But, Shiva couldn't have done such a—!“ You stopped when realization hit you.

Isn't this exactly what you thought the day before? Didn't you also suspect Shiva? Something whispering to you is not a coincidence for the King to show the exact symptoms of poisoning as you did before his death.

If you, his own sister, are unsure that your brother is completely clean, what about others?

On the other hand, your words that you cut yourself off put those bunch of nobles under the impression you too had realized it. Now, they have no intention of covering up their grin, they look at you with a look as if they have won something.

"What's wrong, Princess? Have you nothing to say?”

Hold it, (Y/N), you tell yourself as you take a deep breath to quiet the raging emotions inside of you. A second later, the burning fire that was your anger miraculously disappeared as if someone had splashed water on it. Rational thought comes back to you, it whispers so you don't give them what they want.

"No," you respond. "It was very understandable. So, you are free to do as much investigation as you like on my brother." But, if Shiva is proven to be innocent, you will be the first person I feed to wolves, you want to add but, didn't.

When you turned to look at Childe, he still had the same straight face and blank stare. Now you feel guilty having to argue with these people in front of him. A smile you forced on your face for them.

"Please excuse us." You softly motioned your husband to walk past the nobles.

Childe remained silent throughout the carriage trip to the palace. He only glances up when you put your hand on his to give him a gentle squeeze; for the rest, those blue eyes find his shoes to be the most interesting to look at. Because of that, you assumed he would remain that way for quite sometime. That is until you walk him into his chamber.

“Please rest, Your Highness.”

That's what you said after Childe sat down on the couch near his bed. Just as you were about to bow to excuse yourself to give him some alone time, he opened his mouth unexpectedly.

"Aren't I a horrible person?"

The moment it came out of him, you couldn't help but notice the emptiness in his voice. You straighten your posture again as you gaze at his attempts to give a thin, bitter smile. It was so terrifying how he looked no more alive than a wolf on the verge of death.

Childe let out a laugh that shook his shoulders but, never touched his eyes.

“My father died but, I didn't shed any tears. Am I not a cruel son?” He isn't waiting for your response because he knows, he is the worst person in the world.

Childe despised grief because he didn't know what to feel about it.

With a room this big, your cursing should have echoed. However, what his hearing now captures is your footsteps getting closer. Stop, he thought. How can you be so brave to approach someone so cruel that he doesn't cry over his father who died the slowest and most painful death possible?

"I'm not even grieving." He let out a scoff. "Perhaps they were right when they said I didn't have a passion for anything but bloodshed. Perhaps they were right about me being heartless—”

It was the warmth he felt when you closed him in your arms and drew him into your embrace. Those blue eyes widened. You bring him further to rest his head on your chest. At this point, you don't care if he can hear your heartbeat; the fact that you're this close proves that you don't see him the way he sees himself.

Soft, ginger strands between your fingers as you stroke his head. “There is no right or wrong way to grieve.” You spoke softly. "Everyone handles it differently, therefore no one has the right to judge you, including yourself.”

Childe believes he really does not deserve you. This is a luxury that no amount of money in the world can purchase. In your arms, he unfolds, not a single part of his cold, dead heart is left untouched by your comfortable glow. He never wanted anything so much than to drown in everything about you. His secret becomes your truth, you are the air he would kill to breathe.

As if he'd spent his entire life practicing for it, his hands found your waist and hugged you tightly.

Inside his head, he wondered while performing autopsies on past memories. If only someone treated him like this every time he asked about Anton in the past, would he have a better understanding of grief? If only people didn't force him to bury everything about him, would he not mistake the emptiness in his chest for the absence of a heart?

Childe nuzzles up to your chest. "Don't go.” He spoke quietly. “Stay with me."

You've experienced a lot of déjà vu during the last several days. This time, you're reminded again with the memory of when Childe came to you drunk and said exactly the same thing. You don't know what to feel now you realize there's no alcohol involved in this one.

Nonetheless, through your questions about the meaning of his words, you made your choice.

You stayed.

It was late at night when Laura arrived at the address you gave her. She pushed back her hood, sweeping her dark eyes across the exterior of the luxurious mansion where the Crown Prince of Liyue stayed whenever he visited Snezhnaya. Unlike other nobles, Shiva always preferred to reside in the home he purchased over the Emerald palace.

Even though the eyes of the guard guarding the gate were sharp, Laura tried to muster up the courage to approach them.

“State your business.” The voice was firm and fast, leaving no gaps for her to make excuses.

In an effort to get the bravery to speak, Laura swallowed. "I-I have a letter from Euryphaessa to His Highness Prince Shiva." She's hoping the guard would let her in using the alias you instructed her to use.

It appears to work. The expression on the two guards' faces changed to one of curiosity before one of them ran through the gate to announce the arrival of this guest.

Soon after, he came back and led Laura into the building. After passing through a large door, she stopped in a room with a luxurious spiral staircase that was his main focus.

"Why did she send a letter all of a sudden?"

Laura almost jumped out of her skin when she heard his baritone voice. When she turned around, Shiva was already standing some distance away from her in his bathrobe. His damp hair dripped with water drops that touched his skin, creating the illusion that it glittered in the light of the chandelier. The Liyue imperial family was undoubtedly gifted with attractive appearances.

“A-ah.. that..”

Instantly, she lost her ability to form words under those piercing gazes. In order to spare her life, Laura hastily handed the letter into his hands. She watched as he tore open the unwaxed envelope and pulled out the paper inside.

Shiva raised one eyebrow before starting to read.

Brother,

You're returning to Liyue, right? On this sad day, I cannot leave my husband who is still in mourning. Under any other circumstances, I would definitely escort you to the harbor instead of sending a letter.

Are you alright? Remembering what happened makes me tremble. Even now, I become frightened every time someone brings me a cup of tea.

Shiva paused for a moment. You're afraid? It felt strange and worrying at one time. Nonetheless, he pushed the thought aside and continued reading to the third paragraph.

Upon your arrival in Liyue, please take care of your health. Now that you've matured, I hope you'll be wiser. Do you still often train with General Alatus? Endure all your difficulties, I believe it will bring positive consequences. Rest is always necessary; avoid staying up too late.

“No wonder she rarely writes letters. She's really bad with words.” he commented.

Someone told me that your expression is scary. Usually, I wouldn't have given this any thought, but, for some reason, I am now. Sometimes, I wish you could smile more. People will easily like you if you do. It would be great if my brother had more reliable acquaintances. Can you do that? I believe you can. Other than that, I don't think I have anything else to be concerned about. Now that I've said it, I hope you'll heed my wise counsel.

After writing this, I'm reminded of the moments I spent with you. Do you remember what we used to do when we were kids? Do you recall how we almost ruined all of Dad's important letters because we were too intrigued about the contents?

After reading the fifth paragraph, Shiva furrowed his brows as his mind searched for his past memories. The day you and him almost ruined the Emperor's important papers..

Something clicked in the back of his head.

Reading letters to improve your skill to decipher their hidden messages is a passion shared by the two of you. But, why are you suddenly bringing up that?

As he read the next one, Shiva's presumption was proven to be correct.

The contents of this letter I wrote are important, so please ensure that you understand my worries.

Your dear sister, (Y/N).

Shiva swept his eyes over the letter, re-reading it looking for the 'content' of the letter that worried you. His brain thinks what kind of secret code you put in it. For him to understand what you actually want to say, how should he read this letter?

Ancient letter code? No, you won't use it since it's possible that he has forgotten how to crack it. If you wanted to send a letter while trying to disguise its true message, you would choose the simple way yet, still ensuring it's not entirely obvious that someone other than Shiva can understand it.

Shiva stopped thinking. What if..

Laura wondered what brought his eyes back to the top of the letter. As she recalls, you only gave her one sheet, however, Shiva acted as if he was trying to memorize every word in it.

What was really in that letter? she thought.

Meanwhile, Shiva was trying to test his assumptions. From the start of your letter until the end, he carefully reads the first letter of every sentence. His breath caught as it made a complete one after reaching the fourth paraghraph.

Y O U. A R E. U N D E R. S U S P I C I O N.

Those four words were enough to tell him everything he needed to know.

There was a long tense silence for Laura, it felt like the calm before the storm. The next thing that happened, Shiva's shoulders shook from the silent laughter that escalated and echoed in the room. He pushed a strand of hair that tickled his forehead while reading the letter for the umpteenth time.

"Ha ha ha! Goodness, she really is something!”

Shiva crumpled the letter until it was shapeless. He landed his eyes on Laura with a big smile that sent chills down her body.

“You!” He pointed at her. “Tell the Princess that I understand her worries.”

There was a dangerous stir in his irises as he unclenched his fist and let the paper fall onto the marble floor. When Laura was about to nod in understanding, Shiva opened his mouth again.

"And one more thing,"

The most arrogant smile graced his handsome face.

"Tell her, that no one can touch me."

Though she didn't fully understand what he meant, Laura nodded quickly before bowing to take her leave. She had never been so eager to leave a room this quickly. Her wobbly feet almost knocked her over as she was in such a hurry to reach the door to give you his message.

"He said that?"

You asked Laura after hearing what Shiva told her to tell you. You see her giving you a nod through the mirror.

Evidently, sending him a letter in secret code was the perfect move. To be completely honest, when you first started writing it, you weren't sure if Shiva would get the sense of what you were saying. Even though Laura is now obliged to stand by your side, it is still possible that she will read your letter and use it as a chance to threaten you back if you write it too obviously. One could never be too careful.

You also avoided meeting him so that Snezhnaya's nobles didn't think you were working together. Shiva now knows what might happen in the future, therefore you should start looking into the incident on your own.

The jewelery box on the dresser was opened, revealing various kinds of expensive jewels inside. You took the necklace with the yellow gem and handed it to Laura.

"You have done well."

“T-thank you, Your Highness!” She immediately received it from your hands.

Though you can't really confirm Shiva is completely clear of this incident, you hope it's not him. If Shiva later fails to keep his word and gets 'touched' by the nobles, it's not impossible for them to suspect you, considering you were also at the same table as the King yesterday.

But, if it turns out that Shiva poisoned Snezhnaya's king—Childe's father—then, which side should you take?

A knock on your bedroom door was heard before you found the answer. It swings open when you tell them to come in and shows Countess Sasha. She approaches you, gives you a polite bow before stating her purpose of coming.

"Your Highness, someone is pleading to see you."

You furrowed your brows, "Who?" You don't recall having an appointment with anyone.

"It's Duchess Anna."

You can't hide the uncertainty on your face. Princess Anna? In this situation, what could she possible want to say? When she requests a meeting without an appointment, especially while the entire palace is still in grief, you want to call her out for being impolite, but deep down you are left wondering what compelled her to do that.

With a sigh, you say, "I'll meet her."

One of the drawing room is where you stand after the door closes to give you and the brown haired woman in the seats some privacy. Anna hurriedly stood up to bow to you before raising her head again.

“Your Highness—”

“How impertinent,” You interrupted her without even a smile on your face. “to ask me to meet you outside of an appointment and while we are all still in mourning. Unless you are not grieved by the tragedy that happened?”

A loud gasp escaped her red lips. “No! T-that's not it, Your Highness! I'm come to inform you of an important matter!"

"You ought to be." You said. “Start talking."

Duchess Anna bit her lip in frustration, you really don't spare even small talk. Though, it's quite understandable considering your relationship and what she has done to you (even if that was from your manipulation). She took a breath, preparing herself which you thought was too much of a waste of time.

"About His Highness agreement with my husband which was cancelled,”

Although her words cause you to raise an eyebrow, you choose to keep quiet and let her continue.

The expression on your face should be enough to tell her that you don't like where this conversation is going. Yet like most people, Anna has a cause to defend—in this case, she is fighting for herself.

"I beg you to convince His Highness to make a new agreement with him."

Anna is a lot of things that you can't describe. But, you never thought she would be this lowly. You clicked your tongue in disgust, making sure it was loud enough for her to know the sight of her sickened you.

"And why should I do that?" you ask.

The Duchess locked her jaw, both from frustration and embarrassment at seeing no difference in your expression after hearing her request. “Please, please! I will do whatever you ask of me in exchange for it. Maxim—my husband—threatened to divorce me if I couldn't resolve the situation!” Her voice was full of despair.

Maybe under different circumstances, you would pity her. However, the agreement she was referring to involved Liyue in it, and you forbid anyone to lay a hand on it.

A scoff escaped you. “Is this what you mean by 'important matter'? Not only are you utterly ignorant, you're also disturbing my time of grieving just for things like this.” Your voice is full of poison that shows the shock on her face.

“Your Highness!” Anna screamed as you started to turn around to walk out of the room. “Your Highness! You will regret this!”

How dare she to say that. You gave her one last glance and found her face red from anger. Duchess Anna.. would she come up to you and slap you like the last time?

The next thing she said froze you in place.

“Something bad is going to happen!”

What?

What does she mean by that?

Before you could turn to her and ask what she meant, the familiar excruciating headache made you lose the strength to stand up. Unknowingly, your hand reaches for the doorknob to support your unsteady legs.

A vision. After a long time of not getting one, you receive one in the worst situation. In the next second, you get a glimpse of what the future holds.

It was a man—no, a group of men whose faces you couldn't see clearly. They huddled around a big table to discuss about something. One of them tapped his full ring finger on it to get the attention of the whole room.

"Then it's decided." he started. "On the second day of the throne succession conference, the great plan will be carried out!" He said proudly, “Prince Childe will get what he should have had a long time ago.”

A small vial filled with purple liquid was displayed before he continued with his voice unable to hide a smirk within it.

“This poison is the perfect gift for him.”

The vision ended there as you tried to collect your breath. Your heart is beating too fast for you to realize that your maids are already around you worrying about you.

No..

Fear abounds. You clenched your trembling fists. Behind your head, you draw conclusions from what you just saw.

Someone is planning to kill Childe.

Falling Asteroid ~ *Childe/Tartaglia*

Summary: He fell from the sky. As a healer, it's your job to take care of his wounds. Of course, he finds you suspicious. But you're not about to let his paranoia get the better of you.

Pairing: Childe/Tartaglis X G/N!Reader

Genre: Angstyish Oneshot

Word Count: 1140

Warning: N/A

Masterlist

A/N: This took a long time to figure out. As much as I like his character, I find him very hard to write for.

There was a loud bang before the sky split in two and the asteroid came hurtling to the ground. You were just watering the flowers in front of your cottage when you felt the ground shake. It was not in your nature to turn a blind eye to something like this. So grabbing your basket full of healing herbs and other medicines, you set out for the crash site of the asteroid.

Turns out, it wasn’t an asteroid at all. It was a person, a man to be more exact. You’d be lying if you didn’t find him extraordinarily handsome. However, you pushed those thoughts to the side. He was injured and you needed to help him.

Carefully, you looked over all of his wounds and tended to the more serious ones before you stood up and sighed. Dusting your hands off, you picked him up so that he was leaning against your back. Holding onto him the best you can, you trudged towards home so he could rest safely. It’s a good thing he decided to fall out of the sky not too far from your cottage.

When you arrived, you put him in your bed and finished addressing the smaller wounds so nothing would get infected. When you were all done, you looked at his sleeping face, studying the small twitches in his facial muscles. He was dreaming, which was a good sign. That means he will survive this fall. You were curious as to what he was dreaming about. You made a mental note to ask when he woke up. For now, you pulled the blanket up to his chin and stoked the fire in the room before leaving him to his rest.

It was three days later when he woke up.

Again, you were watering the flowers outside when you heard a groan coming from inside. Quickly you went inside to find him rubbing the sleep from his eyes. You grabbed a bucket of water and the kettle before putting it over the fire to brew some tea.

“Who are you?” A sharp voice demanded behind you, but you didn’t flinch. “And where is my shirt?”

You glanced behind him to find the man holding the blanket protectively over him. He looked much different when he was awake. He didn’t look so young, his eyes betraying years of hardship and paranoia. But it didn’t bother you. You’ve seen plenty of those people pass through your cottage.

“You fell from the sky.” You replied simply, placing herbs and tea leaves into the boiling water. “You were injured. I just dressed the wounds so they wouldn’t get infected.”

“I don’t appreciate you undressing me without my consent.” He snapped. “Return my belongings so I may leave.”

You shook your head. “You can’t leave now. You’re still recovering from your wounds. Stay for another day or two and then you may be on your way.”

He opened his mouth to argue when you shot him a sharp look that shut him up. You didn’t like being mean to your patients, but you also knew what was best for them. He needed another day to rest and then he may be on his way.

“Don’t worry, I won’t bill you for your time here.” You added before handing him a cup of tea. “Drink this, it will help you rebuild your strength faster.”

He stared at it suspiciously. “How do I know you didn’t poison it?”

You shoved the cup in his hands before getting close to his face. “Listen, Fatui. I greatly resent the insinuation that I would do something as cruel as that. I use my Dendro vision to heal others, not take a life. Now drink it before I force feed you, and believe me, I will show no mercy if I have to.”

The man stared at you a second more before raising the cup to his lips and drinking it down in one go. “How did you know I was Fatui?”

“You are not the first Fatui I’ve healed. I can tell.”

“And you won’t kill me?”

You shook your head. “No. I won’t. But I do ask for one thing as payment.”

His eyes narrowed at you. “What could that be?”

“Something simple. Just your name. It doesn’t even have to be your real name. Just something to call you while you’re here.”

He hesitated before saying. “Childe. You can call me Childe.”

You nodded. “Childe. A pleasure to meet the falling asteroid.”

Childe was not amused by your little joke. “How long have I been out?”

“Three days.”

“I need to go.”

“No, you don’t.” You crossed your arms, as a hard sneer crossed your face. “You will stay in that bed until I tell you you are healed enough to travel. Understand?”

He matched your look of frustration. “I do have other things I need to be doing. Return my things and let me live.”

Your sneer becomes a smirk. “No. Until you are better, I will keep your things under lock and key. Consider yourself my prisoner for the next day or two. You’ll find I’m a rather strict jailer.”

Childe tried to stand up, but the headrush he received from having not been awake for three days forced him back down in bed. He had discarded his blanket, leaving his bandaged chest bare. But you knew better than to stare.

“You are a cruel healer.”

“Cruel but fair. Trust me, I’ve heard about you, Childe.” You sat in a chair opposite him and stared into his eyes. “You are the eleventh Fatui harbinger. You are as strong as you are dangerous. The citizens in the next town over believe you are a threat. So are you?”

“Am I what? A threat?”

“No, the bad guy?” Your smirk grew. “Should I be afraid of you, Childe?”

He paused before giving a teasing smirk. “You should be very afraid.”

You laughed, tossing your head back as you did so. “You’re very amusing. But I find it very hard to be afraid of someone who looks like a child when he sleeps.”

“I do not!”

Shaking your head, you grabbed one of your medical books and cracked it open. “Go to sleep already. The tea should be kicking in by now and as it works its magic, you’ll begin to feel some exhaustion. Don’t worry, I can read you a bedtime story.”

“I am not a child!” He huffed as a yawn overtook him.

“Whatever you say. Now sleep. You’ll be better when you wake up.”

Crawling back under the blanket he glared at you through drooping eyes. “And you’ll return my things to me then?”

“I will. Now sleep, Childe.” You gave him a sweet smile as his eyes slipped close. “You’ll find no nightmare will come for you as you sleep.”

Can you do super sweet fluffy Childe and Zhongli relationship hc's?! Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease 🙏🙏

I absolutely can! Thank you so very much for your request! <3

Childe x Zhongli Headcannons:

~Sweet and fluffy~

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Childe loves sharing pictures of his siblings with Zhongli, always talking about how much he loves them and how proud he is of them.

Zhongli likes reminisce about his past friends and despite it technically being useful information Childe never shares any of it with the Fatui.

They enjoy having dinner together, either Zhongli cooks or he always picks a place you have to use chopsticks to eat, his reasons being he likes to help Childe learn how to use them and he thinks it's cute seeing Childe struggle with something so silly.

Childe listens to everything Zhongli says even if it seems boring to everyone else and uses what he's learned to buy him very sentimental gifts on anniversaries or dates.

Xiao didn't trust Childe at all in the beginning, he technically still doesn't, but Childe has done his best to prove his loyalty to Zhongli and the rest of the Adepti family. Even stating his main loyalties are Zhongli and his own family in Snezhnaya.

Childe asks Zhongli to spar with him often, now knowing he's the archon he wants to beat him in training and show his worth. Zhongli always lets him win though and Childe knows it so he doesn't count any of them as wins...

When they kiss Zhongli is always careful because he knows Childe is only human and he doesn't ever want to accidentally hurt him.

They both make sure to spend time together on lantern rite wether it's in secret or not it's tradition. Sometimes it's a stolen kiss and other times it's them sharing a snack together.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

~I hope you enjoyed!~

𝙹𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝙷𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝙼𝚎

𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈: 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒆/𝑨𝒋𝒂𝒙 𝒙 𝑭𝒆𝒎!𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓

Word Count: 2425

Warnings: Hurt/Comfort (i think?) it's fluffy at the end, talking about someone breaking into your house, panicing, screaming, crying, talk/use of weapons, you have a fear of lighting/thunder, unedited. I think that's it.

Note: I am working on making my fics gender neutral but with female body in mind. I have a Diluc fic that will be female and a Kaeya fic that I will rework to make it gen neutral. Just letting y'all know :)

For my darling

You loved Liyue, you truly did. It’s a beautiful city with an even more colorful history and people who make it the way it is today. There are so many sights and sounds and so many unexplored locations around the valleys and plains that it constantly kept you busy. Even when you couldn’t leave to adventure on your own, the city had enough for you to do day in and day out. Zhongli and Hu Tao certainly gave you enough work at the Wanghsheng Funeral Parlor. Being their personal and sometimes only admin worker, you were able to balance the peaceful life of leisure and commission work. You couldn’t have asked for a better city to call your home. There was one thing however you did not anticipate: The rain. More specifically how loud it could get.

You didn’t mind the rain; on the contrary, you loved it. As long as it was calm and light. Nothing like the storms that Liyue sees during their seasons. The rain and thunder would get so boisterous at times it would take everything in your power to not jump in your skin and take shelter under the nearest cover. Even when indoors, you found the comfort of being hidden subsided your disliking of the torrential weather. You weren’t afraid of the rain. That was something you would deny to your dying breath. Your boyfriend, however, would love to playfully poke your side whenever you startle and find comfort in his arms.

“I should really find the Archon who’s causing this storm and thank them. You’re not normally this cuddly when the weather is sunny.” As much as you wanted to smack to stupid smirk that was absolutley on his face, you couldn’t find it in yourself to pry away from Childe’s warm chest where your face was currently buried in. You gripped the front of his shirt as the wind seemed to pick up and cause the rain to hit the window of your small shared home with more force.

“Why must you make fun of me like this?” You grumbled into his soft shirt. “Can’t you see that I’m–”

“Scared?” That interruption did force you to look up at him with a slight pout. Jutting out your bottom lip in protest of the accusation. “Are you finally gonna admit it darling?”

“NO! I’m not scared. I do not have a fear of stormy weather. I just…I can do without it sometimes.” Your head rested once again on Childe’s chest as he lovingly rubbed your back. He couldn’t help but chuckle at your stubbornness. It was one of your flaws yes, but it was something that could be very endearing at times. Times like now for instance. He let the conversation die with a Whatever you say lovely as you both enjoyed the rest of the evening together.

About two weeks later, Childe told you that he was going to be on assignment for a week, no more than two, and would be gone for a while. He hated to leave your side, not just because he missed you but because he was concerned for your well-being at times as well. He knew Zhongli, Hu Tao and even the little cook from the Wanmin Restaurant would keep an eye on you for him. They loved you almost as much as he did so he knew that you were in good hands while you were gone. So, you gave him a kiss goodbye the early morning he left.

The daily routine you had proceeded without a hitch while Childe was away. A few new things happened here and there like Xiangling asking you to help her with a new dish or Yun Jin asking for your opinion on a new piece she has but other than that, nothing seemed too out of the ordinary. About a week and a half into Childe’s departure you were stopped by Lan near the Guild. You finished up a commission with Zhongli (he had graciously accompanied you on this job because it involved some fighting that you were subpar at and you wanted the Mora) and went to claim your pay when she pulled you aside for a moment.

“You live up near the pass, correct? In that small housing area?”

“Yes, why? Is something wrong, is someone looking for a place to stay?”

“No it’s not that, it’s just I heard a few things about the area.”

“What kind of things?” Zhongli inquired.

“People were saying that Treasure Hoarders were seen setting up camps. Apparently, some hotshot bragged about the area being a good place for loot and they just seemed to flock there. Now normally it’s not that big a deal, but with the weather recently and with how big this rumor is, the Hoarders sometimes get…aggressive with people.”

At that you furrowed your brow, “Aggressive how?”

“They seem to think that because we’re locals we must know about this fabulous treasure, yet no matter how many times people explain that it doesn’t exist, they don’t believe us. Sometimes they get violent and a few people have gotten hurt. One person even reported that when the weather got bad, a group tried to break into their home for shelter. Luckily their dog was able to scare them off.”

“That’s awful, are the Millelith aware of the situation.” Zhongli asked, growing more concerned by the minute.

“They are, however, the housing area is a bit ways away, so they only send a few guards at a time. I have spoken to one who would report back to Liyue Qixing about sending more but that was only recent so I can’t give a date as to when they will be posted. Even the Traveler said she would sweep the area when she could to get rid of them but despite her great feats, she still is just one person.” The clouds overhead began to darken and you could feel the faintest drops begin to fall. It was about time you got home.

Lan noticed your distraught expression, “I promise I didn’t bring this up to scare you. I just thought you should be made aware of the situation.”

“Huh?” Was all you could manage.

“Your face, you look frightened to death.” Your head looked up at the clouds again as the sprinkle began.

“I’m not scared.” Was what you mustered as you thanked Lan and made your way home.

Zhongli, ever the gentleman and protector, walked you the entire way and even offered to stay the night just to keep watch. You politely declined the offer. The couch was not very big and you only had one bed in your cozy home so you wouldn’t want him to be uncomfortable all night. Not sure if you were aware of it but the look in your eyes seemed to only grow more fearful as the rain got louder. As much as he wanted to stay, he knew to respect yours (and he’s sure Childe’s) wishes and left you with a good night for the evening.

Alone with your thoughts, you did your best to just go to bed. Not even bothering to eat, you thought that maybe you could sleep through the coming storm. As fast as you could you changed into one of Childe’s shirts, got under the covers and held his pillow to your chest for comfort.

Your plan seemed to almost work, key word almost. In the middle of the night a loud crash startled you awake with a scream. Catching your breath, you begrudgingly got out of bed to check what happened but then you remembered.

The Treasure Hoarders.

Suddenly the bedroom didn't seem like a bad place to be. Maybe if you just laid down in bed you could pretend that you were asleep and didn't hear anything. When you turned from the door a boom of thunder broke through and you jumped nearly screaming. There was no way you would be able to stay quiet. It was stupid but you wanted to do something.

It wasn't much but you knew that Childe kept a small dagger in his nightstand. You grabbed it and with a shaking hand slowly opened your bedroom door. The rain was pounding against your little house as you walked down the hall to the living area. Every floorboard creak and noise of the house settling made you want to scream. Every now and then, a flash of lightning would illuminate the hall and you swore it never felt this long before.

Finally, you made it to a point where you could tilt your head to look into the living room. You held the dagger close as you continued in, keeping low just in case. That's when you saw the broken window and blowing curtains. And even worse you could hear men talking outside. That's when the panic truly set in and you had no idea what to do. Not being a fighter you thought your best bet would be to run and hide. Or you could take a chance to escape and find Zhongli, Hu Tao, anyone to help you. But the idea of going outside in the rain frightened you just as much.

Damn it you were scared, so scared that you didn't have time to make a decision, for you could hear the turning of a locked doorknob and a frustrated groan. With a gasp you fell to the floor careful not to cut yourself on the dagger. You hid to the side of the couch trying to control your heavy breathing.

"Wha'do I do? Wha'do I do? Wha'do I do?" And the door opened. It closed and heavy footsteps made their way into your house. You held a hand over your nout knowing you had fight off whoever just entered your home. The thunder grew louder and louder in your ears, tears streamed down your face, as you tried to steel your nerves. You waited until a faint, moonlit shadow was near your position and with a spark of lightning rose with a petrified scream and brought your dagger down on the intruder.

Only this person caught your wrist with ease and grabbed your other wrist easily. You flailed and screamed.

"LET ME GO!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Darling it's me!"

A pause. You took a moment to catch your breath and in the flash again you saw that Childe had returned home. Your breath released and you dropped the dagger while also falling into his familiar warmth and scent. He didn't ask any questions, just held you as you cried.

"Treasure Hoarders a-a-and thunder. They broke into people's…and the window." You picked up your head to point at the broken window. Childe let you go just to turn on the light and check. Near the broken glass was a large branch. The wind must have been strong enough to toss it into the window. Childe held up the branch to show you but quickly placed it down when you shook your head.

"But I heard voices outside."

Knowing that he returned alone, he quickly rushed out the front door to see if anyone was out. You remained on the floor with knees held against your chest and gripping Childe's shirt.

"There's no one outside."

"I could have sworn- gods am I going insane!"

"No darling no, you're not." Childe went to you and held you where you sat, he lifted you up just a bit to have a better hold on you. Your body was shaking from the torment you put yourself through. He spoke soft words to you as you calmed down he held you in his lap, rocking you both back and forth to calm you down. Despite being in the rain, he was so warm. It was a warmth that you took so much comfort in.

"Ajax," you whispered, "I was so scared. There's been sightings of Hoarders and they've been getting violent. And this damn thunder. I heard the window break." You spoke in-between shaken breaths. "When I heard the door open I thought someone-" That's when it hit you, had someone truly broken into your home, what would have happened?

He saw your mind spinning, so Childe made you face him and held your face in his hands. "Okay my love, just a second okay. I want you to take a deep breath. Can you do that for me beautiful?" You nodded and did as you were told, "Alright, now whistle." You whistled as you released. "Good girl. A few more times." You repeated the process for about a minute, this allowed your crying to stop for the most part and calmed your breathing.

"Feel better?" He asked in a soft voice he only used around you.

"Yes. Ajax. I was so scared." You repeated it. You had to, you didn't know what else to say.

"I know love and I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't here to help you. I'm right here baby, nothing is going to happen to you I promise. And here I thought coming home early would make you cry tears of joy." He kissed your forehead when you finally let out a small scoof and a smile. "I promise nothing will happen to you. I'll put better windows and a good lock on the door. You can even have Hu Tao and Xiangling over if you want to, I know they love you." He kissed your lips as you nodded. His kiss told you that this would not happen again if he could help it. "I don't ever want to see you like this again." It was a promise he spoke into your neck and his breath danced in your skin and made you shiver.

A clap of thunder had you jump in his arms and he held you close. "Next time I'm in Inazuma I'm going to beat up that Shogun." He picked you up bridal style and went to the bedroom. As he laid you down, he gave you another kiss. He left the room and patched up the window. Upon return, he got comfortable in some lounge pants and no shirt and got under the covers. Bringing you into his chest, he placed his hand on your lower back to rub small, comforting circles on your skin. You held him close and relished the way he felt against you.

"She would kick your ass."

"Huh?"

"The Shogun. If you tried to fight her, she'd kick your ass."

All Childe could do was chuckle as you both fell asleep.

Chilumi Oneshot [ Genshin Impact ]

Dawn's Light

Dawn was just upon the horizon, sunlight peeking through the small gap between the curtains, painting faint patterns along the girl's exposed body. A thin sheet draped along her lower abdomen, slowly sitting up to climb out of bed.

The figure beside her began to stir awake, Lumine turning to glance at her company. Copper colored hair shifted along the pillow, the girl frozen until he fell quiet once more, successfully dangling her legs over the edge of the bed and standing up. The sunlight warmed her bare skin, shoulders relaxed as she scooped her dress off the floor. The material hugged her body comfortably as she slipped it on, adjusting the spaghetti straps.

The blonde felt at ease for the first time in a very long time, turning around to gaze at the sleeping man. His chest rose and fell, the girl wondering how long it has been since he got to rest this well. She didn’t know too much about him; Childe opened up to the Traveler in small tidbits, never prying further than what he chose to disclose. Lumine sat back against the mattress, the surface dipping a bit under her weight before turning to Tartaglia, examining his peaceful expression.

It was funny how one could go from fighting to, well, this. A playful duel between companions turning into something much more intimate. It was unexpected but welcomed.

Lumine reached over to brush some of his curls away from his forehead, not getting that far before his hand shot up instinctively, gently grasping her wrist and pulling her small frame against him. Before she could process anything, the boy was on top of her, settled between her legs. The skirt of her dress rode up on her thighs, Tartaglia squinting down at her through his sleepy haze.

“Hey girlie..” A smile formed on the boy's lips, leaning down to press a soft kiss to her exposed collarbone, lips lazily trailing up to her neck and towards the outer lobe of her ear. The butterflies within her stomach stirred, clenching her thighs in response before letting out a soft exclamation. The sheet slipped off his hips, exposing all of him once again, her face heating up as her golden orbs lingered for a moment too long.

“G.. good morning..” She stammered, feeling his weight shift towards the hand that was planted on the mattress next to her hip, his other hand pinning her wrists down above her head.

“Good indeed.” His eyes twinkled with amusement, blue orbs trained on her to gauge her reactions accordingly. Childe dipped his head down to drop a kiss to the cleavage that threatened to spill out from her dress, his lips traveling slowly down her body.

Lumine arched her back, pressing her porcelain skin against his lips while a soft moan pushed free from her lips. The blonde's body reacted with every kiss and touch, craving more from the man. When she felt his grip on her wrists ease, the girl pushed against the man's lean frame, using her lower body to gain the upperhand once again, straddling his hips.

His orbs grew a few shades darker, a smirk forming on his lips as his eyes swept over the curve of her hips. Tartaglia reached up, slipping the tip of his index finger under the spaghetti strap of her dress. His eyes burned with desire, eyes glued to her clothed chest but Lumine pinned his wrist down onto the mattress before he could slip off the strap. A devilish grin spread on her lips, a surge of confidence flowing through her system.

“Is everything a competition with you?” She purred playfully, leaning down so their faces were inches apart. “You’re lucky to have found someone who can keep up with you.” The girl dropped a soft kiss to the man's lips, pulling away just as he was about to give in.

“I am lucky.” His eyes bore into hers, ocean blue meeting sunset gold. A sense of dread filled the girl, sliding off his lap and sitting on the edge of the bed, back turned to him. Tartaglia perched himself onto his elbows, a concerned expression dawning on his face. “Did I say something to upset you?”

Lumine bit her bottom lip, a sudden wave of sadness crashing over her. Tartaglia felt a shift in the mood, settling behind her and delicately wrapping his arms around her petite waist.

“Hey.. talk to me.” He mumbled softly, propping his chin against her shoulder, the scent of her shampoo filling his senses as he dropped a soft kiss to her neck. The contact churned her butterflies, a smile threatening to form on her lips.

After a few moments, the girl exhaled softly, settling her hands on his that were holding her. “You know I’m not from this world. That I’ll have to leave eventually.” Her eyes settled on the rising sun, Tartaglia’s fingers drawing soothing circles against Lumine’s skin through the material of her dress.

“But do you have to go?” The boy asked, gaze softening as she turned to look at him. Her silence was enough for him to continue. “Stay…” The sunlight ignited the flecks of gray and dark aquamarine in his beautiful eyes, rarely seeing such a vulnerable side to the man.

His suggestion made her heart flutter, a stubborn blush spreading across her face as she tenderly cupped his cheek. “Childe –” “Look, we don’t have to discuss this right now.” The man spoke softly, Lumine’s shoulders relaxing slightly as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Not until we find your brother.”

“We?” Lumine’s golden orbs flickered to his, arching an eyebrow. His index finger traced her jaw, chuckling when he detected the challenge behind her gaze.

“Yes. We came this far already. What’s another journey together?” He chuckled, a mischievous glint present in his blue eyes. The girl rolled her eyes playfully before feeling his arms pull her back against his torso. Soft laughter bubbled from the girl, Childe keeping her cradled in his arms. “Besides, Teucer wouldn’t forgive me if something happened to you. Someone needs to keep an eye on you.”

The blonde scoffed at his cockiness, refusing to admit how happy he made her. “And you still owe me that tour around Snezhnaya. Or did you forget?” A muffled chuckle pushed past his lips, sending subtle vibrations through her skin as he dropped another kiss to her shoulder.

“I could never forget that, Traveler.” Lumine twisted her body enough to face Childe, arms securely around her. His gaze was composed of a tenderness she wasn’t accustomed to, the heat enough to make her cheeks flush pink. “I promise.”

Tears blurred her vision, only then realizing how much they cared for each other. It was unlike anything she’s ever felt. Words couldn’t quite express her gratitude for him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his lips tenderly. Where words failed, Lumine prayed that her actions spoke volumes, unable to suppress her smile as they deepened the kiss. The pair fell back against the mattress, tangling themselves once again as the sun rose higher into the sky, marking the start of a brilliant day ahead of them.
