#”aren’t you tired of me?”
–when you ask them if they feel sick of you | a request | comfort | dipsy anon, here’s your request! I hope this will at least comfort you :)))
Tumblr media
SCARAMOUCHE
“Are you-” stupid, was what he was about to blurt out–what he wanted to, anyway, but with that look, you were giving him, it was quite impossible to let the words out without him biting his tongue. And so, with a sigh, he purses his lips and flicks you on the forehead.
“Ow!”
Another flick, but this time, you will be able to dodge it by placing a hand over your forehead.
“What was that for?!”
“For being an idiot.”
First of all, he finds it idiotic for you to think that someone like him would seriously think that way, especially after everything you two had been through. And second, he did not really expect you to say such things, and he is still coping with the shock while being “mean” to you.
He’s just annoyed—not at you, hell, he’ll probably first think that someone else had triggered you to say that stupid question, but in a few, he’ll slowly start to doubt himself; had he done something to make you think of him that way?
Yes, he’d think back over the few times he’d tease you out of affection—not that he would want to make it too obvious—and also the times he’d be utterly shit at you mostly because he’s too much of a brat to admit his feelings—which, in his defense, he only did in the first few weeks (or months) of meeting and soon dating you. Now that you’ve seen every single part of him and he the same to you, this anxiety of yours is quite surprising to him as well, and he also partly blames himself that above everyone, he prides himself that he knows you very well, but now in the end, he doubts that he does know everything about you.
Maybe he is the idiot this time.
“Tired?” He chuckles loudly. “Darling, did you really think I have such a short fuse that I would tire of you all for nothing? Or are you quick to forget about the years we’ve been through together, huh? Shall I help you remember?”
XIAO
Immediately has his forehead crunched and eyes boring into yours with a look of bewilderment, and it does take him a while to respond to you. Probably, he thought that you would follow up with “Just kidding!” with a little giggle, but when it seemed like you won’t, he bites with; “Is that really what you thought of yourself?”
Honestly, he would be quite offended, but not to the point that he’d selfishly bring it up to you upon realizing the way you felt inferior enough to prioritize someone like him over yourself.
Quite frankly, he thinks he should’ve been the one who should ask you if you’re tired of him.
Slightly annoyed, but more so with the crippling thought of; who or what made you this way? Is there someone who belittled you like this? Or maybe… did he?
The mere thought of him being the source of your worries and heartaches would be his downfall.
“Y/n, tell me,” he has his hand on your chin, urging you to face him and look into his eyes, and once you did, you could see the softness in them—a look that despite being on his face quite a number of times, you still could not fathom how on Teyvat you had managed to pull it off of him, “Is that really what you thought of yourself?”
Your lips purse and your gaze waver, only for his hand to travel to your cheek instead, urging you to make contact with his gaze again, “Love? Talk to me.”
You frown as you obliged his wishes, weak for the softness and genuine way his voice sounded. And then, you could feel his lips on yours. Just a small peck. But it was enough to ease your mind and muscles down.
“Our bond is too deep to sever,” he interlocks his fingers with yours, the other hand still caressing your cheek as he gazed straight into your eyes, pecking you on the lips one more time before continuing on, “I will never tire of you. Never.”

a/n: happy bday to my fictional loml xiao tutu alatus my beloved
Tumblr media
when xiao dreams, he's always going down.
it doesn't matter whether he's suffocated by the ocean of his karmic debt, feeling its claws sink into his feet, pulling him under; or gravity wrapping its heavy arms around his body as he plummets from the sky, xiao is always spiraling downwards.
it makes him hate dreaming, opting to clear his mind from the sinking weight of drifting towards sleep. slaying monsters by the borders of liyue makes his body sing from nothing but exhaustion. their blood is on his hands but at least the stains on his skin distract him from the weariness in his bones.
when he can no longer evade sleep, his nightmares come to him like wolves, his arms and hands enclosed by black whips, chaining him to a never ending bad dream while he tries to break free.
it ceases when he sees you amidst the darkness.
you were light embodied, the moon while he wanders tirelessly in the frightening forest of his mind. you smile and he feels the constricting of his chest weaken, a rush of relief resting on his shoulders as he watches you approach his restrained position.
he whispers your name, and your eyes glow impossibly brighter at his voice. you rest your hand on his cheek and xiao closes his eyes, your touch a deliverance from his endless torment within. soft lips press against his and xiao pulls away, tenderly surprised.
when he wakes, the fatigue he knows so well never comes. licking his lips, he tastes the sweetness that lingers there.
as he gazes out to the sights atop wangshu inn, he can’t help but smile, feeling his mind go tranquil for a very long time.

No thoughts today other than spending a not so pleasant afternoon with Zhongli and Neuvillette while trying to navigate their territorial instincts when it comes to you. You're just trying to enjoy your tea, meanwhile they sit there side eyeing each other and hurling back handed compliments at the other in an attempt to get the offending party to leave.

GENSHIN BOYS FINDING YOUR DIARY ABOUT THEM - HEADCANONS
Tumblr media
You often wrote about your crush in your diary. You didn't believe that he would reciprocate your feelings, so you often found comfort in writing about him in your diary.
On a particular instance however, he was hanging out in your room and you had got up to prepare some snacks for him. While you were away, he looked to your blanket and noticed a little pink book semi-covered by the blanket. Curious, he picked it up and read it.
Tumblr media
CYNO
- Shocked and intrigued.
- Would probably only ever bring it up if you banter together and it subtly suggests this instance.
-pretends to not know you like him when you come back with the snacks
-dw though if you find out, he's nervous/panicked too, he just doesn't wanna show it pookie ;)
-has a really bad joke or pun when you both banter and you find out
"I'm sorry. I couldn't resist the opportunity to 'snoop' at you. You're simply too fine to just stay in the 'shadows' and 'hide away' like that."
ALHAITHAM
- intrigued too, but mainly calm. He'd already suspected that you liked him.
- he'll probably just keep reading when you come in and catch him.
- bro just reads like it's any ordinary book, silent and focused 😭. You better hope you didn't narrate a whole story/fanfic of you both, or a vivid dream depicted in detail because hell of lord, he's going to read through it like it's written by Shakespeare. 💀
- probably will just spend more time with you after that and wait till you directly confess to him. He doesn't know romance stuff ight 😞
"I know." He reads a book while he hardly gives you any eye contact. "You wrote it in a diary." The silence and awkwardness fills the air. Your face was flushing knowing he had read through it. Alhaitham doesn't really know how romantic gestures work, but his cheeks were slightly tinted. You decided to break the silence by asking him out. "Sure, but if you let me finish reading that diary of yours."
CHILDE
- intrigued like everyone else. Excited knowing you feel the same way.
- brings it up the moment you walk in with the snacks
-will poke fun and tease you at how 'cheesy' and red you are.
-he's not missing an opportunity to just tease and ask you out.
"My my! What do we have here?~ Seems like someone has a bit crush on this harbinger! So...how about a date in a fancy restaurant located at Fontaine? My treat of course~"
ZHONGLI
- Zhongli is a gentleman, he would never snoop. In this case, let's re-write it a little. He would be trying to put the book to a shelf to help you keep organized. He'd unknowingly read the book for the contents to place it to it's respective place until he slowly realizes what it was.
- Like Alhaitham, he suspected you liked him in the first place. He's been in this world for so long, so it wasn't hard to recognise. He was calm too, but a little shocked reading through your diary.
- he's a respective man! He would probably read one or two pages out of curiosity and stops there for your privacy. He'd then put it back to your shelf.
- honest. When you come back, he'd straight up tell you he saw it on accident and that he was sorry.
- avoids embarrassing/teasing you, SUCH A GENTLEMAN GAH...
- prolly would subtly confess that he likes you too but if you seem like you wanted it to be a secret, he drops it and pretends like he doesn't know until you are ready enough to confess.
"My apologies. I was trying to put your diary back to a shelf and had read the contents unknowingly. I read the contents because i wasn't sure which category to place it in." He then takes a sip of his tea you poured him a while ago. "Though...I do wish to admit that I feel as if I may be able to reciprocate those feelings of yours. If you would give me a chance, that is."
Tumblr media
12am rn. I will edit more ltr but gnnnnn i'm tired

➳ AN: sorry for disappearing! part 2 with thoma, kazuha, albedo, and xiao here
Tumblr media
—AYATO KAMISATO ; pillar of fortitude !
TRUST LVL. 4 ; about y/n
"ahh, the lady of the HIIRAGI clan. She is a very docile and graceful woman, she tends to be very efficient in her work which I am very thankful of. I admire her patience as well, in a recent work I've heard that a third-party intervened.. Let's just say they left with whispers of admiration about lady Hiiragi heheh"
TRUST LVL. 6 ; about lover
"ohh, my darling wife y/n.. you didn't know we were married? heheh, some things are just meant to be left unsaid until time is right. She is one of my greatest joys in life after a hard day at work. She always scolds me along with Ayaka whenever I overdo certain things.. What can I say? I'm a busy man after-all. I treasure her as much as I do with Ayaka, I'd fight heaven and hell over and over to protect them.. She doesn't deserve to be put against the dark abyss of this world, as her husband it is my duty to protect her.. Ahh I think I'm rambling, please forgive me."
AYAKA KAMISATO ; about Ayato's lover
"about y/n being my brother's wife? I'm so grateful that someone like her is around for my brother.. She always covers his blinds spots and takes care of him, he tends to be quite forgetful about his needs. She is like the older sister I never knew I needed.."
Tumblr media
—DILUC RAGNVINDR ; the dark side of dawn !
TRUST LVL. 4 ; about y/n
"y/n.. one of the very few people I can trust."
TRUST LVL. 6 ; about lover
"There are very few people I trust with this information I hope you are smart, y/n is my fiance. Shocking? Me and her have always kept it a secret as a way to protect her from.. certain targetting. I tend to keep her away from Kaeya.. He can't be trusted with anything unlike y/n."
KAEYA ALBERICH ; about Diluc's lover
"oho? Diluc's fiance? She is indeed a treasure among Mondstadt.. She's the type to glow in a room full of people, very much the opposite of dear Diluc.. It never fails to amaze me just how he managed to be with a angel like her."
Tumblr media
—TARTAGLIA ; childe !
TRUST LVL. 4 ; about y/n
"She is quite a handful in battle, always brimming with surprises. She's quite a joy to fight against, you might just learn something if you try it yourself, traveler!"
TRUST LVL. 6 ; about lover
"y/n is indeed my lover! my partner in crime.. my other half... nothing could ever compare to her. The joy and excitement she brings me is different from the adrenaline of duels.. yet it feels just as pleasurable. You know, my siblings just love her! Everytime I come home and she isn't with me, I become a punching dummy for the younger ones.. Sigh, they're not the only one devastated anyway. You heard about her being my lover from La Signora..?! Just another reason to steer clear of that woman. Hmph."
LA SIGNORA ; about Tartaglia's lover
"Oh? Childe's dear sweetheart? She is quite pleasant to talk to, unlike her lover.. She is quite thoughtful and caring, once when me and her were on the boat to Snezhnaya together, she had brought with her a coat for me, worrying for my wellbeing. Such a sweet and pure flower for a bloody blade like Childe."
Tumblr media
—ZHONGLI ; vaga mundo !
TRUST LVL. 4 ; about y/n
"y/n? Another member of the funeral parlor. She is a lady with grace, a fine worker of the parlor indeed.. If you were to need help and I were not available, she'd be the best one to approach."
TRUST LVL. 6 ; about y/n, truth
"It seems as though you've learned the truth of y/n. It is true, she is indeed a God of Liyue, one of the last remnants of my early days... She is quite responsible for the beauty of flowers that bloom across these lands. I have been eternally grateful for her hard work all these years."
TRUST LVL. 6 ; about lover
"*sigh*, I will assume Hu Tao has given you this information. y/n is my wife, my prized gem.. I've sworn to do everything in my power to protect the last bit of Morax in my life. She is one who has witnessed the ugly and beauty of my actions all these years.. yet she still has chosen to stay by my side. I refuse to lose her, I would rather give up my power as an Archon than live a life without her."
HU TAO ; about Zhongli's lover
"y/n.. one of my best workers! She's a blast to talk to unlike Zhongli, though he scowls whenever I keep her from work with my rambling.. Ai-ya! Let me get you into a little secret, y/n is actually Zhongli's wife! Crazy right? I sometimes wonder that if I tried to be as patient and pristine as y/n.. maybe I'd get more customers?"

Wlw Genshin/Hsr, internalize homophobia, homophobic
Being a closeted bi/aro in country where LGBT is a crime, i am lucky to be a bisexual woman, i can hide myself with dating a man
But imagine the lesbian or women/women relationship.
Soooo.....i just wanna brainrot about how the girls show their love to you when you both are in secret relationship.
Like maybe Serval will write song and put you in the lyrics as her love language.
Your parents respected the ' high good reputation' women like Jean, Ningguang, Yukong and worried you will burden them, and the girls tried so hard not to say something cheesy like 'they are the best thing in my life'
Matching bracelet as 'promise ring', handmade by the crafty girls like Navia, Shinobu, Ayaka
"Door stay open if you invite boys into your room"---Yae, Kafka, and Lisa would be all over you when the door is locked.
Fully using those stereotype "Just 2 girls being friends", but acting like lovers, typical of Amber, March, and Candace
Sharing lipstick is an intimate love language to Dehya,Clorinde, Asta
Hmm...maybe there is more?

Genshin Headcanons: What Gets Them Flustered (Tighnari, Kaeya, Thoma)
​​
Tumblr media
Tighnari:
​​He’s actually a bit of a tough nut to crack, but something that will always short circuit his brain is when you play with his ears or tail
​​With a flushed red face, he would insist that you stop messing with his ears, claiming that it tickles or is annoying
​​Really, he just doesn’t want you to see how weak in the knees he gets when you pet him like that. It’s a bit embarrassing for him.
​​He would never admit that he likes the way you gently pull and stroke his animal features, but the subtle wag of his tail and the twitch of his ears is a dead giveaway
​​If you keep at it long enough, Tighnari will end up a puddle in your lap
​​Sometimes catching your scent as you walk by also makes Tighnari flustered, especially if you’ve just showered and washed your hair
​​Your scent would almost assault his senses, but in the best way possible
​​You’d look over at him and see him zoned out with a faint dust of pink on his cheeks before he snaps out of it, realizing you’re staring at him
​​No, he will NOT tell you what he was thinking about, no matter how much you beg him to
​​Tighnari would like to keep at least one shred of dignity around you
​​Shockingly, just general proximity to you doesn’t get him flustered at all, it’s only these minute things that really get him going
​​
Tumblr media
​​Kaeya:
​​It’s almost like a game to him, seeing who breaks and gets flustered first
​​Most of the time it’s you who gets flustered first under his constant flirtatious teasing and gentle touches
​​However, you do have a few tricks up your sleeve if you pay attention to his reactions enough
​​He gets so flustered if you tug at his hair a little, especially if you’re doing it to make him look at you
​​Kaeya will stare at you wide eyed for a moment, the sudden exchange of power throwing him off before he smiles and lets you do as you please
​​Beneath his charismatic exterior is actually a rather soft, affection starved man
​​If you gently caress his face and look at him as if he’s your world, he is going to bury his face in your hand, just to hide the growing blush that’s on his cheeks
​​He has no problem admitting these things get him worked up, but he will only do so in a teasing way, still trying to come out on top of this little game that the two of you play
​​The gentle look in his eye is the only indication that his reaction goes beyond physical; he genuinely gets nervous when you show him such tender love
​​When he catches you staring at his flustered state for too long, he will find a way to distract you, whether that’s by kissing you, picking you up in his arms, playing with your hair, the possibilities are endless
​​
Tumblr media
​​Thoma:
​​Despite being a dependable worker of the Kamisato Clan, he is actually quite easy to fluster
​​He’s just an earnest, straightforward kind of guy. When you make small efforts to rile him up a bit, it definitely shows
​​Thoma’s face will turn as red as his clothes if you pull him closer to you, whether it’s by his hand or the collar of his shirt, the sudden proximity to you makes him clam up
​​He becomes a stuttering mess too whenever you fluster him, his silver tongue quickly becoming tarnished when you tease him
​​Another thing that gets him flustered is when you put your hair up, or if your hair is too short for a ponytail, when you pin it back out of your face
​​It’s super mundane and he knows this, but something about you showing off that extra bit of skin that you normally don’t show has him practically swooning
​​If you were to ask him why his face was so red, he would rush out the excuse that it was a bit warm in the room, even if it’s in the dead of winter and there is a chill in the house
​​When questioned further, Thoma insists that because of his Pyro vision he gets hotter than people who don’t have one
​​For the sake of him not combusting on the spot, you choose to believe him, but make a point to wear your hair like this more

《 The Prettiest of Them All 》
Giving them a 'strange' outfit after losing a bet
Tumblr media
(Dainsleif, Alhaitham, Shenhe)
Tumblr media
{☆} Dainsleif: Maid Outfit
- he is... an old man
- Dain knows that certain things are romanticized nowadays, but he doesn't really get why you want to see him in a maid outfit.
- though, seeing how it's you who requested it, he couldn't help but say yes. He did lose the bet after all.
- plus the stars that seemed to have formed in your eyes from excitement rivals the stars on his cape so... can he really just deny the request?
- for the entirety of the day, which he lends to you fully to fulfill the bet, he acted like a maid that he's used to seeing back in Khaenri'ah.
- old man even promised he'll do everything you ask him to for the entire day.
- by that he meant everything.
Tumblr media
"Dain, honey, this isn't really necessary."
Dainsleif shook his head as he stood beside you, holding a tray he found in one of your cabinets. His posture is straight, the short frilly skirt and stockings he's using doing wonders to your imagination.
"You requested a maid outfit, it would be fitting for me to act like this," he stated. Yes, you did do that, but it was to see him in a cute maid outfit; not being taken care of like fragile glass for the whole day.
The twilight sword, who picked up a dustsweeper for a weapon now, cooked you a delicious meal for breakfast this morning; now he's insisting that he do the same for lunch. It's comforting being cared for by your lover, but you barely had to lift a finger the entire day, Dainsleif even helped you wear your own clothes!
You sighed, it's still worth it seeing Dainsleif in this outfit; the frilly skirt didn't cover anything below his knees and an adorable headband he's wearing. Yet, you feel guilty for making your lover act as a maid than a lover, even if it's because of a bet.
Placing a hand on top of Dainsleif's as he placed down the tray. "You said you'll do anything as my maid, right?"
Dainsleif's starry eyes looked back at yours, feeling your thumb caressing his rough hand. "Then I request you to have lunch with me as a lover," your free hand pulled the chair not so far away so it'll be right next to you.
Dainsleif chuckled, a smile formed onto his face. He didn't mind this whole maid thing, truly. Even if the design of the maid outfit isn't something he's used to seeing, he didn't mind taking care of you for the day; it's one of the ways to show his love for you after all.
The twilight maid stood straight as he finished preparing your meal, then sat down on the chair you offered. You couldn't help but smile as you took a spoonful of the food and directing it to Dainsleif's mouth.
"Open up, love," the blonde does as he's told, tasting the food he made himself. "Good isn't it," you said, or more like stated. Dainsleif's methods of cooking are simple for the sake of ease when adventuring, yet the results are always a delight.
"It's good."
Tumblr media
{◇} Alhaitham: Nurse Outfit
- He was... not happy with this.
- He's not into wearing different outfits for fun, choosing to wear the same style of clothes everyday. But he knows what this is.
- Humiliating, to say the least, but he's not backing down from his words; honestly, losing to you in a bet is surprisingly more shocking than wearing the fontaine-like nurse outfit.
- a nurse? You could've chose a doctor and he would be happier. The outfit didn't even looked like an actual nurse outfit, choosing the version with a tight skirt, pastel green color, and a hat with the red plus sign signifying a hospital
- he sighed and agreed on wearing it, but only for half an hour and no pictures.
Tumblr media
"You're stranger than a hydro slime that prefer being in the desert."
"Shh, nurses don't insult their patients, 'haitham." Alhaitham scoffed as he continued reading the words on his book, "you're not even a patient."
Closing the page to go to the next one, you leaned on his broad shoulders. "I might be one if my heart gets broken by that attitude," it was a joke, clearly. Alhaitham knew you didn't mind his distant persona, you were able to be in a long-lasting relationship with him after all.
The acting grand sage is currently sitting on your lap, a book in his hand and your hand holding onto the page waiting for him to finish his reading. His legs are cross legged, the tight skirt had preferred it and he wasn't in the mood to have his legs spread out.
Alhaitham sighd as he tapped on your hand, a signal for him to go to the next page. "Why did you even want me to wear the outfit if we could do this without one?" Alhaitham asked, or more like demanded an answer to.
Your hand slowly turned to the next page before idling on the page beside the one he's reading. "You look cute with this," you complimented, "well, cuter than usual."
The last sentence came with a chuckle, one that made Alhaitham's cold heart melt into a puddle, even if his blank expression says otherwise.
Meanwhile due to the lenght of the skirt, Alhaitham felt a particularly cold wind hits his legs and almost made him shudder, perhaps it was a bad idea having your kitchen window open.
It's not uncomfortable per se, but seeing as he's so used to using long pants, his body simply doesn't feel familiar to it. Noticing the slight shake, you began to worry.
It's been getting colder slightly in Sumeru. The rain season started and the bright and warm sun had rarely hit the city nowadays, stranding the place of the usual warmth.
Not wanting Alhaitham to get another cold wind hitting him your legs starts to shift and your hand getting him off your lap. "Hold on, I'll get a jacket for you," a push on your chest made you fall back to the couch. It's strangely attractive how strong Alhaitham's arms are.
"You made me wear this ridiculous outfit yet leaving at the same time? Since when were you this rude," Alhaitham scoffed, placing your hand back to the pages and the same position as before. The acting grand master smirked at your dumbfounded and reddening face, how couldn't he?
Coughing to relief some embarassment, your hand had slightly gripped the paper stronger than before. "Right, of course. I couldn't just leave my favorite nurse alone," you tried to regain some control back.
The two of you continued on reading after that, for every page that Alhaitham finished your fingers would delicately move on to the next page.
By all mean, Alhaitham finds it strange how you feel attracted to an outfit. Though seeing as he's the only one you want to see in this oufit, he'll count it as a win of his own.
Tumblr media
{♤} Shenhe: Bunnygirl + Blazer overlay
- "Oh, Yelan showed me this once." "what."
- Much like Dainsleif, she doesn't really get it. Though, it is her first time wearing a blazer as an overlay for the outfit, you gave it to her saying "This'll make you look cuter than ever."
- the addition of a headband with bunny ears made her slightly confused but brushed it off since you looked happy when she wore it.
- the entire day, the two of you played card games and showed Shenhe some recent Fontaine inventions.
- It was a rather relaxing day, even if she's wearing a strange bunnygirl outfit you found being sold by a travelling fashion designer. Shenhe doesn't mind and you almost melted at the cuteness of your lover.
- the only complaints she had about the outfit is that you can't place your head on top of hers due to the headband.
Tumblr media
Your heart is close to melting into a pile of goo as Shenhe looks at you with a neutral gaze. This isn't the first time you wanted her to wear something, though usually it's matching clothes you have for eachother.
"Just one more thing," you mumbled, taking the bunny eared headband from the counter. Shenhe leaned against your hand to match your height. Backing up from your girlfriend, you gazed at her happily.
A balance between elegance and cuteness, the blazer did well making her look sophisticated. This moment just couldn't be wasted, not even a second! You started to search for something you bought another Fontaine invention.
Shenhe turned her head to look at your direction. Though the woman perked up in curiosity as she saw you held up a box whilst yelling 'got it!'
Shenhe watches as you took a device from the box, her own curiosity beating her as she read the words on it.
"A memory preserving box of wonders," Shenhe read on the side. There was an influx of Fontaine inventors coming to Liyue for the Lantern Rite festival. In that time, you had the dazzling opportunity to buy certain clothing made by their fashion designers and some inventions they sold.
"It can take and develop a picture at real time, the result would be similair to the one you usually carry around," you answered, head on her head before realizing it's an uncomfortable position and backing away. Shenhe flinches as you placed your head beside her ear instead.
"Now smile to the camera, love," you told her, a flash of light taking over both of your eyesight as the picture was slowly being developed within the machine of the kamera.
You were still behind Shenhe, waiting for the results. Though the adepti's student turned her body around to see you on an eye-to-eye level. She carefully took off the headband and placed it on your head instead.
"Shenhe, what's wrong?" you gave a nervous laugh, fearing the headband or the outfit might've made her uncomfortable. Shenhe's beautiful eyes looked back at yours with no hint of being flustered by the distance between you.
"You didn't place your head on mine because of it, I don't like it," she admits, making you confused on wether to sigh from relief or chuckle at her. The picture from the kamera slowly developed, colors emitting from the once darkened frame.
Now with your head on top of hers, both of you appreciated at the picture. Shenhe even kept it alongside the picture she has of her old home, carrying it around everyday as a reminder of you.

"As The Youngsters Say"
HC // Alhaitham x (gn!) Reader [crack, fluff]
Tumblr media
Alhaitham, despite being a Haravatat scholar and being fluent in over twenty languages, struggles to understand modern slang terms at times.
Flowery language eludes him already, as he acts strictly pragmatic and always tries to speak as concise as possible. To him, it's nothing but a waste of time; which is illogical. Why would he want to speak in an overcomplicated way, when he can get the same point across a better way in less time?
Slang falls into the same category for him. He doesn't understand why someone would need to make up new words or phrases that convey the same meaning as already existing words. To him, it just overcomplicates communication, that he is already trying to keep at a minimum with most people.
"So basically, the TL;DR was that I brainrotted about... why are you looking at me like that?" you interrupted yourself, wondering why Alhaitham looked at you with such a confused expression. "What you just said. What does it mean?" he inquired, looking a little bit distressed because he didn't understand what you were trying to say. "Huh? But I didn't say anything relevant yet-" "The acronym you just used. TLDR?" "Oh, that's short for 'too long, didn't read'" you explained. "But we're speaking, I didn't have the chance to read anything so, how could it be too long?" "It's not meant literally, it's-" "And what's a brainrot? I'm certain that your brain isn't rotting?" Archons help you...

Alhaitham, like all autistics, would enjoy defunctland youtube videos, though he would refuse to admit it. Kaveh put the iconic fastpass shapeland video on for movie night at Tighnari’s suggestion and was shocked that Alhaitham was clearly enjoying it

Furina has done nothing to stop the impending disaster, Arlecchino has been sure of this fact for years.
And then the flood comes and it leaves and a moment later Furina staggers out of the Epicles, gaunt, shaking, and stares out at her rejoicing people with an expression of horror.
She has half a mind to kill Furina there and then- useless god who cares not for her people- but she looks so pathetic, sunk there on the ground, tears leaking from her empty human eyes, that she thinks letting her live might be the crueler punishment.
After all, she had done nothing.
-
Two days later Furina storms into the House of Hearth, her children hot on her heels, and slams Arlecchino against a wall, demanding “how dare you?”
She is pale and thin and her eyes are sleepless, but the disgraced lady speaks with such unrestrained ferocity. And as her children arrive she waved them away, and she listens.
She learns of this trickster Archon, who committed godly feats with her human mind, who lost half of herself to the Soverign, who has gone mad long ago, and has died many, many times. Who suffered for five hundred years and watched her world drown. Who stumbles outside to find her citizens rejoicing and whole, shouting “the prophecy was wrong!” That her sacrifice had been for naught.
She learns of Furina, who is living for nothing for the first time in five hundred years, and as the child(?) ends her rant, chest heaving, cheeks flushed, eyes gleaming, a little feeling emerges from her chest that feels almost like guilt.

A DARK HORSE
cr - @jam8366 You're teaching Neuvillette how to feel. Translate or reblog is alright, but only if you remember, that I may ask you to delete if I would not alright with your blog. Thank you. The place I live most of all. MASTERLIST.
Tumblr media
He's learning to understand human emotions, though he's finding it difficult - the longer the water dragon ruled the court, the more questions clogged his head. He had no suitable answers. Everything that brought him thoughts was keyed from within the fountain of Lucine, and that is where Neuvillette goes when he gets unbearably homesick.
"Dreary," of course, is a relative term. The loneliness of a water dragon is very different from the loneliness that Furina experienced; and yet it runs through his veins.
Neuvillette noticed you around the same fountain more and more often. Usually you were already gone when he approached, but he was fascinated that your voice was nowhere to be found in the vastness of the ocean. He'd never heard it, of course, but Neuvillette would certainly recognise it. So why do you come?
Neuvillette asked you that question once. He stayed to wait, and when the time came, he approached. His voice sounded particularly quiet, not like the ships. You laughed - it made sense why Nyovilette had not heard your fate.
It brought mystery. What did your soul weep for, what did it rejoice in, what did it love? The man - aka absolutely anyone - aroused curiosity. Like a small child wanting to stir up an ant's nest to see what was inside.
Of course, he wasn't interested in you alone. Every man is exceptional; that makes him a mass into which Neuvillette had yet to burrow. If the local waters helped him to know the hidden things, how do people cope without clues…?
Neuvillette looked at the little child. The mother standing beside him was comforting, oohing and aahing and fidgeting around the boy who had fallen. A small scratch on his leg, a consequence.
Did it hurt…? Neuvillette watched from a distance, trying not to draw attention, but your appearance made him flinch. Yes, he couldn't understand why the boy was crying over such a trifle - how vulnerable the soul must have been born, or how weak the human body was…? It would have been reasonable to ask, but the water dragon was not used to intervening on his own. Besides, it was a kind of detective game to try his hand at being a spiritual and material expert, digging out clues and putting them together. Except that you brought a red stain to Neuvillette black and white picture, diluted with water, and he learnt that the child was crying not because of pain or sadness, but because his mother was letting him know that the fall was something scary, and that if the parent had just laughed and picked the boy up, nothing would have happened.
Honestly, it didn't fit into Neuvillette understanding, but he chewed over everything you gave and accepted it. Who better to know the man than the man? He is often rather uncomfortable asking people directly why they do things this way or that, and although the water dragon has cultivated an immunity to embarrassment, it is probably best to have his own 'guide' to the new world so as not to disturb and worry the people. It could very well have been you, but…. you had your own reasons for refusing.
You didn't like people. Or rather, you didn't like being among them. Neuvillette didn't offer any requests or deals for that very reason-being a "guide" meant taking you out of your comfort zone, which was something a man couldn't afford to do, to put it mildly. Still, there was one feeling that made Neuvillette both anxious, curious, and indifferent. He wanted to learn these subtleties, but preferably not on himself, and so the water dragon carefully searched for manifestations of family love, fake love, sincere love, romantic love and friendly love.
"Well, you can take care of me," you said jokingly when Neuvillette shared an inquisitive fact, "and I'll take care of you. And we will experience love whether we want to or not."
From this expression Neuvillette concluded that love could not be chosen but he did. It was a conscious decision to be more interested in you than in others.
I wonder if he loved you. The water dragon saw your vomiting, nausea, drinking, singing and dance-like movements. You thought it made him disgusted, but in fact absolutely not - Neuvillette can't be disgusted through the normal human body, so you absolutely denied everything but friendship in your head. This freed up your heart to flirt with other people. Neuvillette learnt from you, and didn't really understand why you weren't interested in him if you promised each other. Is the love he was trying to know really a different kind of love for a man? And you… and you were friends. You loved him with a different love.
One day you asked him for help. You had to create a situation where you would be alone with Risley, which was quite difficult, because you had never been a criminal, and Risley rarely left the fortress. It was a strange, incomprehensible feeling; you were familiar with the wolf even before you started communicating with Neuvillette , but somehow Neuvillette felt like if he granted your wish, it wouldn't make anyone better.
The water dragon asked why you wanted to meet him so badly. You confessed that you've been communicating by letters for a long time, and it seems that Risley has the same "love" for you. If you see each other, you will sort out your relationship. And Neuvillette . wanted to help. He didn't know how to upset those he held dear, and if it meant you would smile at someone other than him but remain happy, the man saw no reason to object.
Yes, you met Reesley. And Neuvillette had sinned - learnt the details from both sides. They seemed too different, too contradictory. Wolf said he did offer you a serious relationship and you asked for time to think about it. You told Neuvillette that nothing special had happened. Oh, good. The water dragon overcame the embarrassment, right? He asked you directly how you felt about him.
"Friendship," you were hard-pressed by the question, because you were afraid Neuvillette confession would be awkward, unnecessary, and you automatically felt guilty that you'd misunderstood each other when you'd agreed on permanent companionship, "care, respect. I want to be there for you when you're homesick and help you cope with heavy emotions. I know it's not easy for you alone, and I promised you companionship and support.
Then Neuvillette asked another question: how do you feel about Risley?
You already wanted to cut off the dialogue and go cry from hopelessness and resentment. It was all wrong. You couldn't agree to romantic intimacy, but you couldn't break the heart of the one you actually cared about the most, either.
"I'm interested in him," you said softly but firmly in response, "I want to find out how far our relationship with him can go.
"But you don't want to find out with me? - Neuvillette spoke as if he wasn't in pain, and in fact he was. Neuvillette just wanted answers,-I wish it."
How creepy and scary; answering honestly was all you had to do. And yet. maybe love is a choice after all, and you can choose to love Neuvillette ? He's never treated you badly. He was always there for you. Neuvillette remained the purest of beings, revealed his secret, told his story and all the details you wanted to know, trusting that you wouldn't share it with anyone.
The silence remained a needle in Neuvillette soul. He raised his hand when you opened your mouth; it was a kind of call to silence. The water dragon understood without words.
Progress.
And the longer you pondered the question, the further your pity drifted away - in truth, you didn't sympathise with Neuvillette any more than you might have worried about the broken heart of an inexperienced schoolboy confessing his love. It was an old creature, grown up and conscious, breathing different air, drinking different water, feeding on the power of the elements when your body demanded vegetables and tea.
You. fell in love. In an instant. It wasn't close to talking about feelings for Risley; they were, after all, sparked by interest, curiosity, not delayed in developing. And here it was quite different. After maybe a couple of months, Neuvillette called you to show you something underwater. He wanted to share a place he'd discovered not too long ago, and a dragon rarely shared much. You stopped halfway through because you, um. wanted to take a chance. Huge, empty space, just fish all around, and not even the seaweed reached down to the level where you were. And down below, a terrible, black darkness. It was as if it was sinking to the lowest level, flowing into the ordinary water of the Teiwat.
"I've never seen you in your true form," she suddenly uttered, running water into her mouth for the first time in a long time. Neuvillette froze.
"It's true," he didn't realise what you were getting at, though some suspicion crept into his head. And soon you shrugged, as if calling for action.
"Even divers don't swim in here… and if someone did notice, I don't think they'd believe them. People haven't learnt how to take underwater photos yet. I'd like to meet you again. But I'm not interested if such an acquaintance would make you uncomfortable," you chose your words carefully, telling the truth.
Neuvillette smiled. You had seen that smile so rarely that for some reason you smiled too. He didn't have to be asked twice. A strange peacefulness crept down the dragon's back as he asked you to rise above his neck so you wouldn't accidentally get into trouble. Turning into a creature of this magnitude was biting at your lungs; a marvellous bodily dissolution, glowing and feeling the hard impenetrable skin beneath your feet. You managed to grasp the small protrusions of large needles to keep from falling off and being swept aside, while Neuvillette continued to grow a long, agile tail. His primordial body was flexible and slender, with long horns and whiskers pushing back from his flat, oblong skull. When the transformation was complete, you saw a huge creature hovering in the water like a bird caught in an air current.
You pushed off the scales with your feet, swimming swiftly up to the dragon's muzzle and examining the intricacies of the broad muscles. It resembled an axolotl - snow-white and blue, marine, enjoying the freedom of its body. Yes, Neuvillette felt wonderful. The power released at last was boiling in his cold blood. His stomach twisted with hunger. He wanted to soak his body in water, wait for it to be satiated, and you finally froze in the middle of his muzzle. Deep eyes exuded a water-reflecting glow with a faint burgundy tint. Sharp pupils, all yours, all towards you.
"You look happier that way," she whispered, knowing he could hear far beyond your hearing, "I like you better that way.
Neuvillette laughed. It sounded so strange and appealing - air bubbles rose to the surface, white teeth bared from beneath a thin lizard mouth, eyes squinting. You treasured a moment of his freedom. And he moved forward, weak and cautious, but the wave of his movement swept you up, carrying you backward, forcing you to grab at the scales. Neuvillette was playing around. He watched the water ride you before deciding to become your sea horse, making you his rider.
And that's when you fell in love. You fell in love with the way he made sure he didn't hurt you, the way he moved freely and contentedly in a familiar environment, wanting to do so more often. You fell in love because you realised you wanted to make this creature happy, and because you felt happy around him.
Yes, love is a choice.
And you chose to love each other. Then it came to the point of having to teach him about intimate contact, even if it all happened incredibly slowly. At first, innocent kisses only went down to the top of your head, and that already weighed immensely. You treasured every touch that Neuvillette gave you, because he was learning to love like a human. You didn't like it. You kept telling him to behave naturally.
And Neuvillette appreciated it in return. To behave naturally meant that you loved him the best you could, the best you knew how, and that you loved him completely, accepted him.
A water dragon loved a mortal girl. Morax would have laughed at that already.

the idea of vision users kinda losing control over their element when experiencing strong emotions is something i live for
pyro users setting themselves/nearby flammable objects on fire or making nearby fires stronger
cryo users putting a layer of frost everywhere or freezing nearby liquids
electro users with that static thing where if they touch someone it gives both people an electric shock
dendro users making nearby plants grow/blossom or just having plants growing on them
anemo users having the wind swirling around them
not quite sure how it would work for hydro/geo users but probably something similar to making it rain/making the ground shake
just imagine flowers growing on kaveh in happiness when he finishes a project
or thoma getting flustered and just burning a broom hes holding
or mika nervously freezing the ground
or cyno sparking with electricity in panic at tighnari’s lightning injury only to realize that tighnari is now scared of him in that moment which in turn only makes the sparking worse
or collei sprouting sharp thorny vines all over herself when paimon tried to touch her that one time and the thorns are digging into her own body but she doesn’t notice at first because she’s still freaking out from the touch
or xiao being in so much pain from his karmic debt that nobody can even get near him because the gusts of wind surrounding him are too strong
or diluc setting himself ablaze during the whole thing with kaeya and then one day he gets fed up with kaeyas antics and he slightly loses control of his vision and his hands catch fire and then kaeya freaking out; not because of the fire itself, but because that the last time diluc set himself on fire like that was the night that kaeya almost died, and now kaeya is scared that thats going to happen again
i meant this to be a cute wholesome post about genshin characters being flustered how did we end up here-

What if i told you Alhaitham deliberately lock Kaveh out by taking his keys with him every time he is going to be home late, so Kaveh won’t have to go back to an empty house? What if he hates the thought of Kaveh being home alone? After learning about his past??
He rather be the bad guy if it means to keep Kaveh away from reliving bad memories
