Fleeting Gazes

Diluc Ragnvindr (Genshin Impact) x Reader

RATING: Teen

GENRES: Slice-of-Life, Drama(?)

WORD COUNT: 1,264

SUMMARY: You and Diluc share feelings for each other, but neither of you are able to take the first step to confess.

You stare across the room at Diluc's figure expertly working at the bar. It isn't often that he's at the tavern, but you still like to visit Angel's Share whenever you can for the possibility of seeing him. You find it ridiculous that you're behaving like this, criticizing yourself for your actions that almost border on obsessive. It was a simple crush at first which only grew the more that you saw the young tavern owner, and by now, your feelings for Diluc had grown far beyond your control.

You inwardly groan to yourself, burying your face down onto the table out of shame and embarrassment. You shouldn't be acting like this. You're an adult. You need to act appropriately, but you can't stop yourself from acting impulsively based on your desire to see Diluc.

Of course, you know what limits and boundaries you can't cross and make sure to never step out of line, respecting Diluc and his privacy. That's why this tavern is a bit special. It's the only shared connection you have with Diluc who managed to steal your heart the same way he stole countless others before you.

"Damn it..." You murmur to herself, wondering if you should just give up on your feelings for Diluc entirely. He's never shown any romantic interest towards anyone ever, and you highly doubt he would show any towards you at any point in time. Sure enough, you were well acquainted with each other with you being a regular patron at his tavern, but that was all there was to your relationship.

"This sucks," you continue, scrunching your brows together.

"What does?" A familiar voice asks with cheerful curiosity, prompting you to look up. Kaeya grins at you, offering you a small wave in greeting. "You're here again, huh?"

Without even asking, Kaeya pulls out the chair across from where you're sitting and seats himself, joining you, uninvited. The knight props his elbows up onto the table. "You know, I can't help but be curious. You don't drink alcohol at all, yet you still end up coming here anyways. Why is that?"

"They offer non-alcoholic drinks here," You respond.

"And that's precisely my point. You can get most of those drinks just about anywhere else," Kaeya shoots back. "So why choose to come here to Angel's Share in particular?"

"...Do I need to have a reason?" You opt not to answer his question and instead warily ask one of your own.

Kaeya hums. "Mm, I guess not, but I have a feeling you do have a reason, and I suspect... that it has to do with a guy."

"It doesn't," You lie a bit far too hastily.

"Is that so?" The knight questions with his ever present smile, amused to see his friend acting like this. "Then, you wouldn't mind if I were to head on over to the bar and strike up a conversation with Diluc?"

You barely manage to stop yourself from outwardly reacting. "You're free to do whatever you want and talk with whomever you want. Why would I mind it?"

Kaeya casually shrugs his shoulders. "You're right, of course. Then, it should be fine if I happened to bring up to him that a certain someone has been staring at him this whole time."

Your eyes widen. "You wouldn't—"

The knight gives you a challenging smirk and rises from his seat. You watch as he starts to make his way towards the bar, and you panic. You know Kaeya is the type of guy to do just about anything so long as it'll amuse him, and the possibility of him doing what he said he would do is high. You shoot up from your seat and desperately grab Kaeya's arm to stop him from taking another step forward.

"Wait!" You exclaim before realizing that a few nearby patrons were looking at the two of you now out of curiosity. You lower your head to hide from their gazes, and they go back to doing their own thing. You peer up at your friend through your lashes. "Please, Kaeya, wait... I'll do anything you want, so please don't say anything..."

"Really?" Kaeya muses. "Anything at all?"

You nod your head, keeping your eyes to the floor while remaining a hold onto the knight's arm, afraid that he'll continue walking towards the bar to talk with Diluc if you were to let go. Kaeya stares down at you with an amused smile, and he looks over his shoulder to find Diluc's hardened gaze on him. Kaeya bites back a laugh.

Aren't you aware that Diluc has been stealing glances your way this whole time?

"Alright then. In that case..." Kaeya makes a deliberate show of leaning down to whisper into your ear, fully aware of Diluc's eyes on the both of you.

Diluc's expression doesn't show it, but he's rather irritated at how close Kaeya is towards you. You look almost uncomfortable, and Diluc is half-tempted to walk over and disrupt your conversation. He watches as Kaeya whispers something into your ear and is unable to guess as to what exactly you could be talking about. Your expression becomes confused and then relieved before nodding your head. Kaeya's smile widens, and he wraps his arms around your shoulders, the sight of it testing Diluc's patience. Kaeya leads you out of the tavern, but not before looking back over his shoulder to shoot Diluc a teasing smirk, and the tavern owner frowns.

Time continues to pass by, and for the most part, Diluc is able to busy himself with his patrons. As closing hours approach, people begin to trickle out, some drunk and some completely sober. There are only a few patrons left by the time Kaeya re-enters Angel's Share, and Diluc tries not to let his irritation towards the knight show.

Kaeya sits down at the bar, a satisfied look on his face. "You know, sticky honey roast is quite the delight, but it becomes even better when you're in the company of a good friend with them treating you to it."

"What do you want?" Diluc asks, choosing not to respond to the obvious taunt.

Kaeya chuckles. "Oh, no, don't mind me. I was just talking to myself."

"...Hmph."

Kaeya stares at Diluc with a teasing grin before opening his mouth to continue. "Hmmm, you know, they're a really sweet person," he starts. He doesn't need to specify who he's talking about for Diluc to know. "It's hard to believe they aren't in a relationship with anyone yet. Maybe I should take my chances and try picking them up for myself?"

Diluc's eyes narrow. "You..."

"I'm just saying," Kaeya chimes as he waves his hand in a dismissive manner. "Nothing's going to happen if you don't decide to act."

"I don't need you to tell me what to do."

The knight laughs, completely carefree. "Right, right... Well, I've said all that I wanted to say, so I'll be heading back now."

Diluc doesn't bother responding. He watches Kaeya get up and leave, and the moment he's gone, Diluc allows himself to heave a sigh. As annoying as it may be, Kaeya is right. Even though Diluc possesses feelings for you, and even though he suspects you to feel the same way about him, neither of you are acting upon those feelings, meaning nothing will happen between you two if you continue to keep this up. It isn't so much that he's afraid, but rather... he holds doubts as to whether or not things would work out between you.

...He supposes it's worth trying.

Adoring Care

Alfonse (Fire Emblem) x Reader

RATING: Teen

GENRES: Fluff/ Hurt/ Comfort

WORD COUNT: 407

SUMMARY: You accidentally cut yourself with a knife while cooking, and Alfonse is concerned over your injury.

You hiss sharply, your brows knitting together as you immediately set the knife down. You're quick to wash the fresh wound and retrieve a clean rag to press against your finger. It doesn't necessarily hurt, but it's still more than enough to make you wince in discomfort. You shift your weight to one foot, lamenting your luck.

"Ah, Summoner—!" While they might not have seen, the other Heroes in charge of kitchen duty can easily surmise what happened, judging by your state and rush over to your side. "We'll take over things from here. Please go and rest and continue to apply pressure."

Although a bit disgruntled and embarrassed at having bothered the others by your blunder, you graciously take them up on their kind offer and leave the kitchen to not get in the way. You've barely taken a step forward when Alfonse calls your name, coming down from the halls to check up on you and greet you. His eyes fall upon the rag you're pressing around your finger, and concern crosses over his features.

"What happened?" He asks, trying to inspect the wound from where he is, not wanting to intrude on your personal space. He knows how defensive you can get whenever you're hurt and tries to respect your boundaries.

"I, uh... was a bit dumb and accidentally cut myself with the knife," you answer rather straightforwardly, if not a bit hesitantly out of fear that he would judge you for being so careless.

"Does it hurt?" The prince questions further.

You shake your head. "It doesn't really hurt, but it's... a bit uncomfortable, I guess?" You give a weak and feeble laugh. "I'm just a bit shaky right now because it was bleeding a bit, and uh... yeah, well, you know how it is."

Alfonse nods his head, offering his sympathies. You don't deal well with blood, especially seeing your own. As such, you're always careful in making sure you doesn't get any cuts. Other injuries are a bit more tolerable, but anything that breaks the skin and makes you bleed is too much for you.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay for the most part," Alfonse says, carefully reaching out to stroke your cheek with his palm as a small gesture of comfort. "I hate seeing you hurt or in pain."

You break out into a smile, leaning further into the prince's touch. "Thank you..." you breathe out. "For caring about me."

Lord Stark and Miss Potts

Author: Jen27ny Rating: T Word Count: above 20,000 Genre(s): Romance, Angst Film-specific: not film specific Tropes: au, regency au, fake dating, pretend relationship, mutual pining, found family

Summary: 

“So, Miss Potts,” he purrs, using the few inches he has on her because of his heeled boots to lean down to her, looking straight into her eyes, “what is your answer?”

He acts as if she hasn’t already made a decision.

Unable to keep the smirk entirely off her face, Pepper pushes her chin forward and raises her wrist with the dance card.

Lord Stark raises an eyebrow.

“If we want this to work, people need to see us,” Pepper explains, quite satisfied that now she is the one explaining something to him. “The best way to be seen is by dancing. And if you want to dance with me, you need to sign my card.”

His smile widens, showing a row of white teeth, as he signs the card with flourish, the single word Stark taking up entirely too much space. “Miss Potts, I do believe this is the beginning of a very successful partnership. Now, shall we, my lady?”

Touch Me (Just A Little Bit More) by joidianne4eva

Rating: Teen

Fandom: The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Relationship: Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo

Summary: “I’m going to regret asking this but for the sake of my sanity…are you by chance ill?” Napoleon queried taking a cautious step closer. He kept himself out of striking distance because Illya’s temperament was legendary for a reason and it wasn’t a good reason either. “If you do not leave, I will skin you alive,” Illya managed and Napoleon would’ve attempted to act suitably scared if Illya’s voice hadn’t cracked in the middle of his threat. As it was all he managed was something that sounded suspiciously like a coo.

when you accept that the unique things about you are the best things about you. when you fall in love w your uniqueness and become obsessed w it and reject conformity. when you think for yourself and draw your own conclusions and adore that you don’t perfectly fit into a mold. that’s when you’ll know true peace

#this sounds like an instagram infographic but hear me out #all the things i used to hide as a teen are things i am so grateful to embrace now #i’m realizing that any notable person has trailblazed their own path. that’s how they stand out. #not bc they already fit into a predetermined mold. but bc they were unique and confident about it #can’t say i’m at a 100% w my self acceptance yet but there will be FAR fewer things to talk about in therapy 🥲 and that’s a good thing #ppl rly need to take their quirks and appreciate them and LOVE them and adore them and be obsessed and feel so lucky they have them #the same old same old is boring #it just sucks that w uniqueness naturally comes backlash #and u have ppl who r nasty rude etc etc. who try to make u feel like ur the freak show for being different #but as long as u know ur truth that’s what matters. that’s all #text
