Do you mind doing platonic headcanons of reader being a mother/older sister figure to klee?? Like she's the only person who klee listens (occasionally at least) to and reader helps her spend her pent up energy in healthy ways better than destroying everything lmfao thank you so much in advance and have a wonderful day!! 💜💜💜
" FOUND FAMILY "
━━ ☆ INCLUDES: klee ft. the knights
━━ ☆ SUMMARY: thoughts on how klee would act around you if she saw you as a sister/mother figure.
━━ ☆ WARNINGS: none
since klee’s parents are away until further notice, she was placed under the knights’ (specifically, albedo’s) care.
but even albedo isn’t free 24/7.
so in an attempt to help make his life easier, you volunteered to look after her for a while.
you pretended not to notice how relieved albedo looked. he really did need some rest.
anyway, i digress.
when jean found out that you would be on babysitting duty, she sat you down like a concerned parent.
she told you to a.) be careful. b.) stay away from the fishes and c.). stop klee when she attempts to burn the world down.
klee’s very friendly and open so it didn’t take long for her to warm up to you.
first, she dragged you to meet her little friends.
she looked so adorable that you swallowed your concerns and cradled her bombs for her.
after that, you took her to walk around the city, greeting friends and petting the strays.
i also see her pulling you aside to teach you how to make bombs.
you remember jean’s warnings very well. maybe too well.
so you laughed nervously, saying that maybe you should go do something else.
and so, you sat her down at good hunter, ordered some food, and helped her draw ‘big brother albedo’ and ‘big sister sucrose’ with ‘mommy and daddy’.
when you were sure her attention was focused on the piece of paper and not some unintentionally villainous plans, you let her draw the rest of the knights on her own.
the way your heart fluttered when she added you in the picture which according to her, is her little family.
but now, it’s you who’s bored so you asked if you can braid her hair and she was very happy to oblige.
so you began doing her hair, wiping her mouth occasionally because she was quite the messy eater.
a few people passing by has stopped just to swoon at the two of you.
when klee finished her masterpieces (she also drew a portrait of you which she gave as a gift), you asked her if she wanted to visit a flower field you found while out adventuring.
when i say she beamed at you, i meant she damn near shimmered in glee.
you taught her how to make flower crowns and in return, she talked about her fondest memories.
she talked about kaeya’s little stories.
oh yes. he was getting a beating from you because the stories he told her were just about this close to being horror stories.
amber also taught her how to make baron bunnies! none explosive of course but that didn’t stop klee from stuffing a bomb in hers.
her eyes were full of youthful innocence and your heart burst with the amount of love and respect she had for her found family.
at the end of the day, you bought her a little stuffed animal as a souvenir.
and returned her to albedo with a kiss on her forehead.
sucrose tells you a month later that klee couldn’t sleep if she’s not hugging the stuffed animal.
and she also gave it a name based on your nickname.
back to the present.
a week later, albedo comes up to you and asks if you can take care of klee again.
she was apparently insisting that she missed you and wanted to spend some time with you.
you agreed and when klee found out, she all but ran up to you with a massive hug.
when you asked her what she wanted to do, she said she wanted to have a picnic date.
so you gently lead her to the kitchen where you both prepared your little snacks.
it’s filled with giggles and tickles.
klee then out of nowhere made it her mission to make the best impressions of the most prominent people in mondstadt.
the best one was diluc’s, who in klee’s rendition was 10x angstier.
there’s never a dull moment with klee.
and after that day, she would always ask how you’re doing.
she’d also open up to you about her feelings.
when she’s missing her mom, the first person she’d talk to is you.
when jean found out that mondstadt survived a day without bombing, you became klee’s permanent babysitter.
not like you or she were complaining.
so who’s really winning?
━━ ☆ NOTES: undisputable fact #372819472891: klee is adorable. thanks for requesting this and i hope you have a great day ahead of you <3

i really liked your hcs of the genshin boys with the slime!! it was cute 🥺 and got me thinking on how they'd be with a pet that didn't like them, i was thinking a more traditional pet like a dog or cat though. i'd like to request this with the characters used in the slime request. also by a pet that doesn't like them i mean one that isn't violent just growls at them, ignores their commands, only likes your affection, stuff like that tysm! have a nice day 🥰
" DREADED PET COURTING STAGE "
━━ ☆ INCLUDES: zhongli, diluc, kaeya, childe
━━ ☆ SUMMARY: thoughts on how the genshin boys would react to your pet disliking them + how they would win them over.
━━ ☆ WARNINGS: none
— zhongli;
he probably first caught sight of you as he was walking along the harbor.
you were feeding the stray cats and it's no secret that they were all very fond of you.
that also means that zhongli knew from early on that you had an affinity for cats (or animals in general as he later finds out).
he admired your gentle soul and it was probably one of the bullets in his 'reasons why i adore you so much' list.
a month into your relationship, you decided to introduce him to your pet cat.
to be honest, he doesn't particularly have a keen interest in them but you were so adorably giddy at the prospect of your two loves meeting that he couldn't resist.
zhongli is aware that he's not the type of person animals would trust immediately.
but even he believed that he wasn't that bad.
so it came as a surprise when your cat hissed at him as soon as he placed one foot in your doorway.
for a good five minutes, all three of you were unmoving, completely in shock and unsure.
you simply laughed nervously, picking up your cat and keeping them close to your chest as it made various high-pitched sounds, none of them being friendly.
zhongli was bewildered and you attempted to placate him by saying that your cat was simply in one of their 'moods'.
for a while, he accepted that explanation.
at least, until zhongli dropped by to give you a gift a week later.
at the sight of him, your cat's tail shot up as they stared at each other.
you told him to drop his gift by the counter and ushered him out when you noticed the cat's growing unease.
meanwhile, zhongli noticed something entirely different.
that is, the sad glimmer in your eyes when you realized that your dear pet didn't like your dear lover.
a painful tug in his heart brought him back to reality.
it was then that zhongli decided that he never wants to see that look of melancholy on your face again.
before saying goodbye, zhongli brushed his lips on your forehead which prompted a small giggle from you.
that was a start.
but it was not enough.
he was nothing if not a determined and unmoveable man and right now, he is determined to get your cat to like him and by extension, make you happy.
sure, he wasn't one to be overly friendly with animals but if that must change to return the sparkle in your eyes then so be it.
instead of going home, zhongli dropped by wanwen bookhouse where he bought all the books that had the word 'cat' on them.
he was saving up for a date but all of that was thrown out of his head because this was more relevant.
that night, zhongli read as much as he could.
the following day, you noticed something different about him but you didn't know what.
later on, you would realize that it was his perfume. he changed the one he was wearing to something less strong.
i reckon it's also something proven to be liked by cats. i can see him wearing a honeysuckle-scented perfume.
zhongli continued his studies, learning the behavioral cues of cats and so forth.
he was waiting for the right time to act and that came when you were suddenly asked to do some business outside liyue.
because it was unplanned, your usual catsitter was unavailable and before you can even start freaking out, zhongli appeared and offered to help.
you were wary. of course, you were.
but then you trusted zhongli and you hoped that maybe this was the push they needed to befriend each other.
in a span of thirty minutes, you briefed him on your cat's specific habits and likes. you paid special attention to the food and toys part.
and then you were off.
zhongli was uncharacteristically nervous because he knew he only had one shot at this and if he fails, that devastated look you had would become permanent.
when he entered your apartment, the cat was perched on top of a shelf.
kneeling from a safe distance, he made sure not to make unnecessary eye contact.
after a few minutes, your cat moved to inspect him and he might as well be a rock with how unmoving he was. a relaxed rock though because cats hate being around people who are on the edge (as stated on page 38 of 'how to get someone else's cat to like you' volume 6)
soon enough, the cat began easing up. slowly lifting a hand, zhongli allows them to sniff around. when the cat hesitantly bumps their head against his, he cautiously rubbed the back of their ears.
zhongli was hooked but he showed it in a very subtle manner.
in the next few hours, he would employ a lot of tricks. feeding them treats, playing with them, gifting them a little something, etc.
by the time you return, zhongli was reading a book and your cat was cuddling to his side on the couch, purring as he absentmindedly pets them.
zhongli would never forget the happy squeak that left your lips as you dropped your things and rushed to join the cuddlefest.
all the effort was worth it, after all, he amusedly thought as he relished the warmth of your body and your cat's that was swiftly growing on him unironically.
— diluc;
diluc was not a small talk kind of person so he never knew you liked animals nor did he know you had a dog.
it only came up three months into dating when you offhandedly mentioned it while watching him close the tavern.
he paused midway, before turning to you and questioning your statement.
when you affirmed your statement, giving him little details such as the breed and their name, diluc was unsure of what to make of it.
you were the one who visited his home, not the other way around so it was no surprise that he didn't know.
now, he doesn't hate dogs, he just didn't love them either.
street dogs would sometimes approach him while he was strolling and most of the time, he would ignore them.
when they reach up to him, he might pat them stiffly for a few seconds before going on his way.
he thought that it was an interesting detail about you though and when he thought about it, it kind of fits your character.
anyway, that knowledge was pushed off to the far corners of his mind.
until two weeks later, he dropped by your house to return your coat that you left in one of the barstools.
he didn't even make it inside because your dog who was outside at that time began barking loudly.
diluc was stumped. he seriously was and he just stood there like an idiot until you decided to come out and see what the commotion was about.
you muffled a laugh as your dog stopped barking, settling on snarling at him.
when he averted his gaze to you, the dog moved by your side as if protecting you.
diluc was a teensy bit offended.
you shooed him off with an amused laugh and diluc promptly walked back home.
he was a little unnerved but he didn't think much of it.
that was until your meetings were always cut short because your dog was becoming borderline feral (only in his eyes, in reality, the dog had no intention of lunging at him. they just want him to back off.)
it was easy to see that he was getting frustrated.
so he decided to do what he does best when he's in doubt: spend money.
diluc randomly dropped by your house with a box in hand.
he gave it to you with a blank look and you opened it confusedly only to see an unbelievable amount of dog items.
you stuttered out an 'i can't possibly take this' but diluc was not taking a no.
he left after that and you were not sure what you'd do with the gifts.
four days later, he was back to pick you up for a little date but the dog was still as unapproachable as ever much to diluc's bewilderment.
he was out of focus the entire date because why isn't your dog appeased?
then a light bulb lit up (i am convinced that the light bulb was broken).
he thought that the dog didn't like those specific toys and treats so he bought more.
he kept on doing this for almost a month before you finally placed a foot down.
diluc listened as you scolded him, telling him that while you appreciated the gifts, you barely have enough space in your house because it was too much.
you followed up by saying that dogs aren't like humans that can be bought with a bunch of gifts. you have to earn their trust too.
now he's even more confused.
you sighed before pulling him inside. you thought him the basics of dog caring.
he awkwardly followed after you, listening to your words even if you were barely making any sense to him.
finally, the moment of truth.
diluc was standing there, obviously out of place, which unnerved the dog even more.
with a less-than-subtle jab in the side, you told him to relax.
he's trying his best so with semi-tense shoulders, he reached out an ungloved hand (at your insistence) with a treat on top of it.
slowly, your dog cautiously went up to eat the treat before backing away immediately.
diluc flinched a tiny bit as their tongue lingered a little. it was a very weird sensation but it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. in fact, it was almost comforting.
he did this a few more times before your dog acknowledged that he was not a threat and began lingering.
you insisted that he try petting them softly, putting great emphasis on the 'softly'.
wow, what a fulfilling feeling, said diluc in an alternate universe where he wasn't as closed off. in this world though, he simply kept that thought to himself.
diluc enjoyed the petting part maybe a little too much.
he had a soft smile on his face as your dog barked but this time, out of delight.
for the next few days, diluc squeezes as much free time as he can to drop by your house and see your dog.
you couldn't help but beam as you watched diluc play fetch with them.
without knowing it, your dog has become diluc's comfort animal.
meanwhile, your dog now sees diluc as part of the family.
and you were more than happy to be able to partake in this whole clumsy but endearing mess.
—kaeya;
stray cats loved kaeya.
he doesn't even need to try. they just love him by default.
it's not like he does anything in particular. sure, he may drop little snacks on very rare occasions but that's about it.
it was probably how you met him. it was one of his very few breaks and he was just appreciating the warm, sunny day when a cat approached him.
but then, one cat followed and another and suddenly, a bunch of cats is cuddling him because his temperature is cool.
lowkey needed help because he's trapped but he's too prideful to ask for it.
thank god for a certain cat whisperer: you.
they loved you more and followed everything you said.
kaeya looked at you oddly, wondering how you did that.
you noticed his curious stare and told him you had a cat at home who was ten times needier than all of the cats in mondstadt combined.
he thought you were exaggerating (spoiler: you were not).
you ended up ensnaring kaeya as well who sometimes acted like a needy cat. you laugh every time he's in his cuddle mood because he's almost exactly like your own.
one time, when you were in the middle of some... heated things, you instinctively asked him to stay the night.
oh, he was happy to do just that... until he was not.
the second you got in, he jumped to kiss you but a sudden clawing made him move away.
a cat was staring him down before snobbishly turning away, meowing cutely at you as if they didn't just ruin the mood.
you laughed, sheepishly apologizing as you hugged the cat close.
kaeya can only shake his head because seeing you babying a cat was very endearing and it made him want to wrap you in a fuzzy blanket and protect you from the rest of the world.
he thought that you would pamper the cat a little and then you'd be left to do whatever you two were about to do.
your cat was not having any of it and kept asking for more and more touches.
kaeya, for a brief second, wondered if you were a saint because he surely doesn't have enough patience for that.
he later becomes thankful because he realized that he was also probably just as needy, if not more.
after two hours, he knew that you would not be picking up from where you left off.
and he thought that it would be a nice idea to impress you instead and befriend your cat as if it was a piece of cake.
again, your cat was not having any of it because they pointedly ignored kaeya.
you tried to help him, handing him the cat's favorite treat but the cat wouldn't even look at him.
instead, their eyes are stuck on you. with an amused giggle, you pet the cat much to kaeya's displeasure because you are and i quote 'encouraging their actions'.
if he was being honest, your cat ignoring him was a huge blow against his pride.
he's used to people liking him, his silver tongue doing the heavy work. not to mention, he's inherently charming.
and then the cats in mondstadt all begged for his attention which is a huge stroke to his ego.
so why... why is this cat any different?
this cat, he swore, was hellbent on getting him to make a fool of himself in front of you.
while you went to the toilet, he sent a deadly stare at the cat who innocently licked their paw.
well, two can play that game.
when you came back, kaeya was smiling.
never a good sign. especially if it's that smirk.
before you could sit, kaeya pulled you into his lap, placing his chin on your shoulder and you swore you could feel the heated gaze he sent to your cat.
'oh my god' you thought as you tried to muffle another round of laughter.
kaeya was literally challenging a cat for your attention.
you told him that was not how he was gonna win your cat's affection but he replied with:
"hm? the one who reigns victorious is always the one who'll gain respect. how would this be any different?"
and you were half-tempted to say "kaeya, honey... how could you be so smart and so dumb at the same time?"
you didn't know how to react when the cat retaliated and climbed to your lap.
so now you're all sat in a pile and it was kind of comfortable.
you instinctively began petting your cat much to their delight.
meanwhile, kaeya was watching, his own hands rubbing circles on your waist.
after a while, kaeya reached up to stop your hands but before you could question it, you watch as he began stroking your cat, mimicking the way you did so before.
you knew your cat knew the difference, your temperature was drastically different from his after all, but much to your surprise, they didn't budge and kept purring.
you rolled your eyes, already seeing kaeya's victorious smile in your head.
still, you thought with a smile as you leaned back into his chest, this was nice.
nights like that soon became a common thing in your household.
— childe;
childe liked dogs.
they're fun, energetic, lively, and overall just jolly and he liked that vibe very much because it means they can keep up with him.
sometimes when he's free, he'd come to the bridge and feed the stray dogs of liyue.
they were smaller and less fluffy than the ones in snezhnaya that were almost pure floof but dogs are dogs and he was never the choosy type.
your first meeting was not animal-related but after many dates, he found out you had a dog, and boy, was he ecstatic.
he immediately bugged you and asked to meet them but you only shook your head saying that you were a little too busy right now.
he pouted but he let the topic go.
because he was equally as busy, he eventually forgot about it.
that is until you finally had some free time and invited him over.
childe was back to being... a child and it was endearing. you had to resist pinching his cheeks because he was smiling so much.
when you do arrive home, you had to hold his hand because he was nearly bursting at the seams, ready to break down the door.
you gave him a silent cue to calm down and he thankfully did. so you opened the door to reveal your adorable dog wagging their tail happily, tongue lolling as they ran up to you.
your first instinct was to hug them and give them kisses and maybe laugh as you heard childe's not so subtle 'aww' from the back.
you turned and introduced childe with a pitch higher than normal. if you averted your gaze then, you would've seen childe's heart eyes now directed at you.
the dog stared at childe who gave a small wave, smile still unfalling before it turned back to you.
he didn't think much of it because the dog was more than likely to still be welcoming you.
you told him that your dog was the friendly type and he's not a biter. he nodded but to be honest, he didn't really care if he was feral or not. in his eyes, a dog is a dog *cue childe's uwu face*.
eventually, you placed the dog down and went to the kitchen to fix some snacks for the both of you.
at which point, childe called over the dog enthusiastically, patting the spot next to him on the couch.
the dog stared at him boredly before moving to follow you where they just watched you do whatever.
childe's lips twitched downwards but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt.
right, maybe they were just shy.
you got back and the dog was following suit. you began conversing with childe as your dog sat by your feet.
childe didn't bother hiding his disappointment.
an hour later, you stood up to visit the comfort room.
your dog began walking around and childe called after them but as he expected, they didn't even spare him a glance.
when they began gnawing at the legs of your dining chair, childe sat up quickly, raising his voice slightly as he told them to stop.
guess what? of course, they didn't.
you wondered what the noise was all about but all you saw was a slightly panicked childe, wondering if he should just pick them up since the dog wouldn't listen to him.
you called the dog's name and he immediately stopped. you enjoyed the look of absolute distress on childe's face.
what was he doing wrong? did your dog know not to trust him unlike you?
you didn't know the answer to his questions when he finally got the courage to ask.
you honestly even told him that this was the first time this ever happened.
for a while, childe was disheartened. in his eyes, this was just as bad as not getting your parents' approval (worse if you think about it because dogs are mostly very trusting creatures).
but then, childe realizes that this was just a challenge, and boy, does he love a good challenge.
he is a man on a mission and he was not going to fail.
the first step on his master plan was to spoil the dog. unlike diluc however, he knows that he can't just give it like some kind of sugar daddy.
no, you must get your hands and knees dirty which was harder than he expected because apparently, the mere sight of him triggers the dog's innate laziness.
they do not move an inch.
right, step two was to feed them until they were completely dependent on him.
that did not work well because you were strict on keeping them on a diet.
or so you thought because he managed to slip some treats while you weren't looking much to the dog's hesitant joy.
step three was to appear as meek as possible which was the hardest part.
in hindsight, childe wondered if it was his excitement that scared the dog away.
in any case, childe began limiting eye contact and gave them as much space as possible without appearing too distant.
soon enough, the dog began approaching him of their own free will.
childe was very happy but he composed himself well. you were watching and you gave him that credit with a smile you quickly hid.
step four was initiating playtime.
he eventually finds out that the dog was actually energetic but you didn't have much time to help them spend it so he offered to help.
that's when they truly began to bond. they did dog runs, mini-fetch in your living room and etc.
step five was the one he liked the most. it's showing the dog he meant no harm to you.
you loved that step too.
you noticed that he becomes much more affectionate when your dog is around and it's not just regular affection. it's his gentle, soft, doting affection that's saved for very domestic interactions around the comforts of your house. it never fails to make your legs weak.
eventually, your dog became more attached to childe than they were to you but you didn't mind too much because childe was overly attached to you.
in the end, you always wind up spending time with both of them.
this, of course, to childe's secret delight.
he succeeded in his mission after all, which is not only to earn your dog's trust but also to avoid the worst-case scenario where you spend more time with your dog than you do with him.
━━ ☆ NOTES: thank you so much for saying such kind words and for requesting!! i hope you like these and they make your day better :)) also,, isn’t it funny how my headcanons are progressively increasing in length?
