01. what did i walk in on?
“hey, pretty boy…i’d like 2 more shots of pink whitey and then i’ll close my tab.” you mumbled to the bartender. your eyes were teary and wet, eyes glistening under the light at the bar table. “you sure? you look pretty drunk, miss…” the bartender asked you with a worried expression. “what do you mean! i’m the soberest person here at this very moment!" you exclaimed. “alright alright, whatever you say… your total comes to 300 primos. shall i put that on your card?” “... yeah sure, whatever. see you next time, pretty boy.” 
you stumbled out of the bar, walking to the dormitory of your school thinking about the money you’ve spent on drinks. 300 primos? all you drank was a glass of raspberry vodka, pineapple tequila and 3 shots of pink whitey… you didn’t want to return to your dorm, you didn’t want your roommate, lumine, to be concerned and ask why you were drinking so much again. you didn’t want to tell her about your argument with your boyfriend nor did you want her to worry so much about you. instead, you made your way to your friend, lynette’s dorm room. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
soon enough, you arrived at the dorm building and went up the stairs to lynette’s room. you knocked on her door, hoping she’d be awake this late during a school night. “please please please open the door-” “uh, hi? i’m sorry but, do i know you?” a person with short ash blonde hair that looks similar to your friend, lynette, opens the door. tears welled in your eyes again as you looked away from the man. “oh… hi, sorry to disturb you but is lynette here?” you asked him, trying your best not to cry in front of a guy you just met. “i’m sorry but no… she went out for a quick errand.” he replied, sympathetically. “ah… okay. could you please tell her to call me once she comes back? sorry again for bothering you at such a late time at night.” 
you turn around with tears starting to dribble down your eyes until- “wait! don’t go yet. here, come in. you can stay here and wait for her if you’d like.” stay and wait for her? you were willing to do that but you didn’t want to bother a stranger you just met, especially on a school night. “i’m lyney… lynette’s older brother. please, come in.” your ears perked up. lynette has an elder brother? you’ve known her for at least 3 years and she has never mentioned a single word about her brother… or her family. “thank you…” 
now you’re crying on their couch, with lyney sitting beside you. “if you don’t mind me asking, what happened?” he asked you, trying his best to comfort you. you looked over to him, frowning. “oh! uh, i mean- if you don’t want to tell me then you obviously don’t need to! it’s just that i can’t have someone with a pretty face like yours crying!” he nervously rambled out. your face flushed at his words, “really…?” “yes, of course!” after that, you gave in. 
“my boyfriend and i had an argument…i expressed to him how i didn’t like how he acts towards me and other people when he’s upset.” you began.  “i told him that i didn’t like how he takes his anger out on others, including me… then he proceeded to call me annoying and needy! i was so upset to the point where i immediately retorted and called him so not so nice stuff. it ended with him walking out my dorm… i never intended on having a huge argument with him!” now you were crying even more than before, trying your hardest to wipe away all your tears. 
“oh my dear… you’re quite in a pickle! i’m sorry you're going through that. but may i ask if he still brings you joy? do you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around him just to not make him mad or upset? partners should be able to communicate with each other. he shouldn’t be getting pissed at you communicating with him how you feel. he should listen and talk it out with you to find a solution. if he isn’t willing to listen without getting angry how are you gonna discuss anything else?” lyney said, opening a new box of tissues. 
“sometimes people have their own things to sort out before they are ready to date and it sounds like he isn’t ready to be dedicated to someone else if he lets his anger out on you or gets mad when you try and tell him what he does wrong.” he pulls out a tissue from the box and wiped your eyes. “i’ll brew you some tea, though i doubt it’ll be as good as what lynette would make! feel free to rest on the couch, i'll be with you shortly.”

𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐌𝐎 𝐁𝐎𝐘𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒
Character(s). Xiao, Scaramouche, Kaedehara Kazuha, Venti, Aether, and Shikanoin Heizou
Synopsis. How I see the 6reeze as College Students (with a bit of reader)💖
Fluff
Kinda Xiao x Reader (NO ONE CAN STOP ME)
Includes other characters.
I’ll be graduating this June and I’ll forever be sad that I’m not in the same univ. as them 🥺 If someone writes a fic with this theme, please tag me 😭
Xiao, Kazuha, and Venti are roommates in the University Dorm house, Scaramouche lives with his aunt that lives near the univ, Aether with his sister, and Heizou alone.
Although, most of the time, they have a sleepover at the dorms because Heizou argues that “You guys will be the reason if we’re late for that 7 am class if you don’t let us sleep here.”
No, he just wanna spend time with his friends.
Xiao excelsin mathematics, Kazuha and Venti in literature and music, Aether’s an average in everything, Scaramouche doesn’t care but pass subjects anyways, and Heizou is good at everything.
Heizou and Aether makes sure that everyone in the circle is studying and listening while Kazuha is in charge of checking if everyone’s eating right. Xiao always gets an earful because the man lives in instants.
Scaramouche and Xiao are the reason no one dares to touch and taunt their group, but Scaramouche will falter at the gaze of her aunt, and Xiao is the most reserved in their circle.
Venti sings. He sings a low, gentle tone when everyone feels exhausted after a long day at the university, he hums softly when he feels like one of his friends are having an anxiety attack, but can’t talk about it (He always know, he’s the most observant) and he sings his heart out to cheer anyone.
Aether and Kazuha are the middleman. Scara’s being an asshole to one of their classmates? Kazuha will be shooting him a glare from across the room. Venti being the chaos himself? Aether will come and calm down the oh-so energetic lad.
And oh, they all know about Xiao’s little crush on you, with—again, as the calmest— Kazuha and Aether giving the best advice. Aether sometimesasking hissistertobring you to one of their friend dates so his friend can spend some time with you out of the campus.
Scaramouche will be throwing disgusting looks teasingly at Xiao when he notices that the latter is lovestruck, earning a glare with the same energy.
Venti, contrary to popular belief, is the most helpful. This is because he’s also your friend. He tells Xiao one dinner at the dormwhat or what not to do when it comes to you, with the said man giving him a “I don’t need that. I don’t like her” of which Kazuha sighed into.
“What was that for? I really don’t!” can be heard throughout the room.
And it was Scaramouche who had made him realized that he did like you.
“Well if you don’t like her, then I guess you wouldn’t mind if I pursue her?”
Cue the pissed off Xiao halfheartedly admitting he is head over heels for you.
Since their group is always the hot topic at school— please, they’re all good looking, academically good (somehow), kind of rich, etc., you’re genuinely surprised when one of them falls for you. And Venti will laugh it off because you are, if not better, as good as his friends.
They didn’t help Xiao in the confession part, though. They want their friend to do it himself because it will only be worth it by then.
But the pride and joy they’ve felt when he did? It’s comparable to yours.
“WE RAISED THAT BABY”
When you started dating, you find yourself always almost hanging around their friend group.
Scaramouche still throwing disgusted looks at the sight of you and Xiao, with your boyfriend returning a sharp stare.
Your kind of worried but Kazuha tells you that it’s affection and love between the two of them, earning a fit of chuckle from Heizhou who kind of became one of your best friend aside from Venti in the group. Dragging you here and there to play games.
No one can touch you under their watch. Much like Lumine, Aether’s sister. They’re so protective of you and Xiao is thankful for that.
And if they didn’t flinch at Heizhou and Venti’s sarcastic remarks, or Scaramouche’s glares, then they will surely run home crying when Xiao enters the picture.
Kazuha and Aether in the sidelines making sure no one will go to jail.

allowing your childhood friend, kazuha, the honor of escorting you home after a night of alcohol indulgence may not have been the worst idea after all...
╰➤ modern au, kazuha x reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“What do you think you're doing, Yn?” Kazuha asked, his voice laced with obvious frustration. He had been called by your classmate late at night to come get you, as you were apparently too drunk to go home on your own.
Despite his frustration, Kazuha made his way to your location. When he arrived, he found you huddled on the ground, your face buried in your knees, seemingly lost in a sea of distress.
Kazuha, just as expected, grew worried. He approached you cautiously, reaching for your hands and gently rubbing his thumb over your palm to soothe you.
“Come on, let's get you home.”
You pulled away, still unwilling to face him, but he persisted, crouching down to your level and offering you a helping hand.
Although your silence weighted strongly on the air between you, he remained patient, unwilling to pressure you to speak up. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, he spoke again, his voice almost inaudible. “Look at me, please?”
Who are you to refuse? You can never refuse Kaedehara Kazuha. You hesitantly raised your head to face him, and he flashed a gentle smile, one that never failed to make you feel butterflies in your stomach. That smile made you think that you were ready to risk it all and give up everything simply to keep him in your life.
Kazuha turned around and signaled for you to climb onto his back. You were confused at first, but he merely grinned at you, his red eyes shining with mischief. “Piggyback ride?” he asked, and despite your hesitation, you found yourself climbing onto his back, almost tripping in the process.
You rolled your eyes at him, but at the same time, you couldn't resist the stupid, charming smile that was plastered across his face. You were a fool for him, and he doesn't have to know it.
“Can I ask you a question?” you suddenly ask, resting your head on his shoulder.
“Hmm?” Kazuha hummed in acknowledgment, letting you know he's listening.
“So...a friend of mine has done a lot of reflecting lately... and she's come to the realization that she might have fallen in love with her best friend...”
Kazuha's eyebrows rose in surprise, his gaze fixed on the ground in front of him. Who could this friend be? Clearly, it's not him... and it would be unusual if it were Lumine, who's already in a romantic relationship.
“Really?” he inquires, a slight hint of surprise in his voice as his eyes meet yours for a brief moment.
“Mm...she's asking me to give her advice,” you uttered.
“And who might this friend be?” he asked in a somewhat playful manner.
“A classmate.. I can't tell. for privacy reasons,” you lied.
Kazuha chuckled, shaking his head. “Okay, fine.. What sort of advice are you asking for, then?” he asked.
“Should I...or rather, m-my friend...confess her feelings..or just keep her feelings to herself?”
Kazuha thought about your question, remaining silent for a while, sensing the seriousness of the situation. After giving it some thought, he answers in a direct and firm manner, speaking with gentleness and understanding.
“Hmm... Well, if it were me, I believe it's always best to shoot your shot and get a clear answer. Otherwise, you'll just be left wondering 'what if' for the rest of your life. I understand that if the feelings aren't returned, things could get awkward for a while, but at least you'll have closure and be able to move on. And who could say? Perhaps their feelings are reciprocal, and they end up together. It's a risk, but in the end, I believe it's worth it.”
You exhaled and nodded. “You have a point...”
Kazuha smiled in response. “And even if things do become awkward, just be there for your friend until it blows over, okay?” he encouraged.
“How am I supposed to do that when the friend of mine I'm talking about is myself?” you muttered under your breath.
A smirk appeared on Kazuha's face, it appeared he was amused by your sudden revelation. “Is that so?” he asked.
You felt your heart pounding in your chest, wondering how you could have let it slip like that. But there was no turning back now.
“What? You're hearing things,” you reasoned, hoping he'd drop the subject. You never want to get hit by a truck this badly.
“You can't fool me. I have known you since we were children,” he said. “I can see right through you,” the boy grinned, as if he had known all along.
As you buried your head on his shoulder, he looked at you intently. “So, are you planning on confessing?” he asked.
'Why can't he realize that the friend I'm in love with is him?' you thought to yourself.
Frustrated, you ruffled your hair, wondering why he doesn't realize that you're talking about him.
“I don't know what to do anymore,” you groaned, feeling defeated.
“Do you love this friend of yours?” he asked softly. You nodded.
“But you don't know if your feelings are reciprocated?” he asked yet again, and you nodded.
He sighed before asking a question again. “Can I ask why?”
Feeling your throat tighten up, you tightened your arms around him and buried your face deeper in his shoulder. “I saw him with a girl,” you responded, your voice cracking. “He looks genuinely happy with her, and I can't bear the thought of losing him.”
Kazuha stopped walking for a moment, taking it all in. He gently put you down and looked you in the eye, his tone becoming even more gentle and sweet than before.
“Did he say that it was his lover? No? Then my advice doesn't change. Even if you're scared of that awkwardness, you should still confess. You can ask to keep things normal between the two of you, but if he doesn't feel the same way, you should give him time to process his thoughts, okay?”
“What if I said that it's you—the friend I like?” you asked, locking eyes with him.
Kazuha stood frozen in shock, his eyes wide, as you blurted out your confessions.
“Me?” he whispered, flabbergasted. A shy smile crept across his lips as his cheeks grew rosy with emotion. The silence between you grew as your heart pounded loudly in your chest.
Desperate to avoid the impending awkwardness, you buried your face against Kazuha's chest and quickly uttered, “Never mind. I'm just drunk.”
A soft chuckle erupted from within Kazuha's chest at your words. His lips curled upward into a gentle smile as he looked down at you, his eyes sparkling with warmth.
“Oh, I see,” he replied softly, sounding a little flustered.
“I followed your advice and confessed,” you murmured, hopeful. “Things won’t be awkward between us, right?”
“Eh...?” he mumbled, clearly still surprised that you confessed to him. “I mean, I can't say it will be awkward, because I have feelings for you too,” he added softly.
“W-what?” you mumbled, looking up at him immediately after hearing him admit his feelings for you, clearly still bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
“I said I like you too,” he repeated, and this time, his voice sounded firm and certain.
You struggled to find your words, feeling a rush of emotions all at once. You tried to reply, but words wouldn't come out. You just stood there, frozen in place. “I–
Kazuha placed his index finger on your lips in a reassuring manner with his trademarked gentle smile. “Shh... We'll talk about this when you're sober, okay?” he said, his voice calming you down.
Just as you were going to speak again, Kazuha cut you off. “I promise we'll talk about us once you're sober. Don't stress your pretty little head too much, hm?” he smiled, gently patting your head.
You nodded at his words and allowed him to carry you on his back again.
'Maybe getting drunk tonight wasn't so bad after all' you thought to yourself before finally falling into a deep sleep, making a mental note to thank your classmate who called Kazuha after this.

Purple tremors: a Xiaolumi fanfic (Genshin Impact) ~ Chapter one ~
Tumblr media
Summary: Xiao's expression shuttered, before his fingers curled to clasp her hand equally tight. He stepped in close as if to hide her inside his shadow.
"Give your body over to me. The wind will take you. Nothing will hurt you while we travel."
Aka: Xiao finds an injured Lumine on a beach in Liyue after her encounter with the Raiden Shogun.
---
AN: I've been playing Genshin for two months so I haven't completed every main quest yet- hopefully I don't make too many lore mistakes (go easy on me!) I just really love this ship's potential.
Rated M for some mild suggestive themes. Read on Ao3 - here.
-----
There is a beach she likes to walk across in Liyue. Intimate and hushed like a lover’s rendezvous point, it lies South-East of Wangshu Inn; perfect for a quick glide from the inn's Waypoint if one felt like letting the wind comb through their hair.
Tonight she took off her heels and wandered barefoot over the white sands of Yaoguang Shoal. It slumbered quiet and undisturbed at night. Whatever Hilichurls or enemies that usually prowled the shores were absent or sleeping at the foot of the cliffs, posing no threat.
Closing weary eyes, Lumine tilted her chin up to the cool, gentle fingers of a sea breeze. It ruffled her hair playfully, briefly inspiring a half smile when it reminded her of Venti. Mondstadt and all its residents felt so very far away right then. Even as she walked in Liyue, her mind was back in Inuzuma.
Lumine watched with a kind of detached awareness as surf climbed up to tease her toes, eventually swallowing her ankles in cool rolling waters with each new push and pull of the tide.
Her fingers shook, and she curled them into loose, trembling fists, tightening a thin shawl around her shoulders that Thoma had given her. The sea looked so tranquil at night, kissed with tender moonlight. She envied its calm and serenity.
Paimon had been left behind at Komore Teahouse, taking a much-needed rest. Lumine absorbed the heavy silence left in her wake. Sometimes the floating spitfire's constant presence could feel a little exhausting, but most of the time Lumine was eternally grateful for her chatter. Because without Paimon everything stopped. The ceaseless unending quiet and nothingness threatened to pull her in with the force of a yawning void.
Aether…
Another twinge, this time like needles in her shoulder- bit deep. Lumine hissed out a tight breath, touching her tender arm. The skin felt raw and fragile, as if it could split open at the slightest scrape. She could handle pain if it meant being one step closer to finding her brother, but lately…it had all felt exceedingly hopeless. A goal constantly out of reach. She was becoming fatigued by straining for it.
Her lips thinned and bent down at the sides. Soon they trembled. Her hand began shaking again, fingers jolting from tiny spasms. Lumine wasn't sure she could command them to lie still this time. The ringing in her ears was only just beginning to subside.
"It's unusual to find you alone."
Sucking in a sharp breath, Lumine turned. She hadn't sensed anyone in the area, but that wouldn't do much good when trying to locate-
"Xiao," she murmured, taken aback.
He stood a little ways away on the beach, arms folded. Something hard was in his eyes, the luminous yellow flicking over her face quickly, as if concerned.
Lumine faced the ocean once more, hoping to hide her expression. "What are you doing here? It's late."
"Adepti don't require the same amount of sleep mortals do," his curt, even tone reached her ears. As she listened, she picked up on the soft crunch of footfalls upon the sand. "If you're going to chide someone about staying out late, I can think of a better candidate. You look as though you need rest far more than I do."
"Hm, is that your way of telling me I look awful?" she quipped.
"No, never."
When Lumine glanced at him next, she found him closer than expected. His gaze was direct and serious, until he seemed to realise how the fervor in his words might be taken.
"That is to say- you seem tired. More than tired, honestly," he uttered, stepping closer. "Are you alright?"
They were side by side now, a respectable distance between their arms. Lumines skin cried out for contact despite the pain it would probably bring.
There are a thousand things Lumine wants to say. She's surprised he's here and wants to ask about it. Xiao never approached her first. She always called him, and he'd respond. A request and an acceptance. Always- without fail, he’d appear, no matter how busy he may be. It was in those moments she felt his kindness most keenly.
"More than tired sounds pretty accurate for what I'm feeling right now." She forced a smile, pretending to watch the ocean's horizon with her full attention. The silence felt so loud as she waited for him to speak, wanting it. Wanting the soft, solemn cadence of his voice.
"…I might not be the best at conversation," he muttered, a faint rumble in his tone that belied his awkwardness. "But if you want to talk I will listen."
She didn't miss a beat. "I'm fine."
Xiao just stared at her, that intense air about him softening with each passing moment. His brows pulled together briefly, before he sighed. "Lying to an adeptus. I'm sure there must be some kind of karmic punishment for that."
Lumine’s lips pressed into a thin line. Her eyes stung. Everything ached. "Karmic punishment? I think the Archons can dish out punishment personally rather than waiting for karma to do their bidding."
She could feel his ageless attention settling on her again. "Is this about the Raiden Shogun?"
Lumine couldn't hide her flinch. She turned to face him fully, unable to hide her reaction. How did he know? She’d mentioned she’d be heading for Inuzuma but that was the last time they’d spoken.
Xiao watched her pensively for a moment longer before gesturing to her shoulders. Something firm and hard entered his usually calm tone.
"You're trembling. Show me your wounds, Lumine. Now."
"I'm f-"
"Enough," he growled, their faces inches away now. Xiao's lashes were dark yet tinged with teal, just like his hair. Lumine started as he grabbed her by the shawl. "I never took you for a fool that would ignore their own condition if they were injured."
"Xiao, hey-!"
She'd wanted to stop him, had grabbed his arm too late. Her shoulders sang with relief against the cool night air in contrast to Xiao's sharp inhale. The shawl pooled at her ankles.
His own hands trembled the longer he gazed at the damage painting her back with multiple branching marks. Lightning burns wrapped around her bare shoulders, the unique pattern of skin lesions feathered into tree-like splinters that shot down her spine, hinting at the true level of damage her flesh had endured. The red, angry marks disappeared under her backless dress.
The shore began to blur, becoming a murky mix of blended colours as Lumines eyes stung. Hot droplets ran down her cheeks- only to be halted by rough material.
Xiao shifted his fingers, wiping the tears away with rough, awkward scrubs. Lumine blinked, her heart constricting at the gesture.
He looked grim, yet understanding. There was nothing damning inside those eyes despite the punishment he administered to foes. There was only acceptance. For these reasons, Lumine was eternally thankful no one else had found her in such a state. She stifled a sob, bowing her head and trying not to lose it.
"Come with me," Xiao muttered. His hand was offered more gently this time. "I don't know what happened and won't insist you tell me. Still, the fact remains: you need those wounds taken care of," gloved fingers softly nudged hers. "You can admire the views of Liyue some other time. Come."
At his third gentle prompt to take his hand, Lumine internally mused that Xiao had never acted so insistent before. Really though, he needn't have worried about dressing up the offer.
Lumine would always accept his hand.
She took it, cradling it tightly between both of her own like a lifeline.
His expression shuttered, before his fingers curled to clasp her hand equally tight. He stepped in close as if to hide her inside his shadow.
"Give your body over to me. The wind will take you. Nothing will hurt you while we travel."
Xiao was obviously not considering the fact that Lumine had put herself through pain just getting to the beach from Inuzuma’s waypoint, and so fully accepted the idea of experience more just to get to a safe place. She bit her lip briefly, finally inclining her head and admitting defeat. “Alright,” she murmured quietly.
Gusts of gentle winds swept blonde hair back from her face. The air currents gradually picked up into strong gales beneath her feet, lifting her body. Lumine felt herself be cushioned, spirited along via the currents and bursts of air- carrying her right across the waters like a skipping stone until they strengthened, lifting her to new heights above jagged stones. Xiao was a constant presence at her side, occasionally brandishing his spear to guide the winds, but mostly following with quick bursts of speed mid-air. Adeptus energy wrapped around her like a tender embrace.
True to his word, Xiao ensured she didn’t feel an ounce of discomfort. It wasn't long before she glimpsed the tall outline of Wangshu Inn looming closer.
Instead of dropping her off as expected in her guest room that Verr Goldet had picked out for her and Paimon once upon a time, Xiao lifted a hand and unglamoured a previously hidden floor at the inn. Lumine watched with wide eyes as he stepped down onto the highest floor’s balcony, weakening the winds buffering her body to stay afloat until she eventually lowered completely- falling right into his waiting arms. Lumine stiffened, but not for the reasons he likely thought.
“We’re almost there, hang on,” Xiao muttered, guilt passing briefly over his face as he carried her further into the unknown floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck and marvelled at the foreign feeling. She wasn’t used to being carried by anyone. The sense of closeness that body heat provided made her hunger for something inexplicable. She didn’t know what she was feeling: only that she suddenly didn’t want to let go. Feathery strands of dark hair tickled her arms as they tightened, looped around his neck. Lumine looked around to busy herself, spotting a bed and several shelves of books as they moved into a private room. Shattered spears lined up against a wall, discarded.
“I’ve never seen your room before,” she observed a few scattered things lying around, as if he’d been in the middle of sharpening his weapon. “It’s messier than expected for the vigilant yaksha.”
Xiao scoffed. “Why am I not surprised that snooping is your main priority in this situation?”
Despite his words, she glimpsed his lips twitch at the corners.
Lumine let herself be placed onto the soft surface of his bed. Xiao pulled away slightly, and reluctantly, she let her arms naturally fall away- hissing soon after at the white-hot sting of agony the shifting muscles evoked.
Xiao’s brows pulled together. His gloved hand caught her chin, tilting it up so that their gazes met. “This next part isn’t free from risks, but if you do exactly as I say, I can help,” he said, something in his solemn expression faltering- exposing a glimpse of true worry. “Do you trust me?”
She gave a faint nod. There was no hesitation. “With my life.”
“Good. Undress.”

41 oops i did it again
previous | masterlist | next
Tumblr media
You walked on campus towards your next class. You left your previous class early since it’s far away. It’s tiring but you manage. You have your earbuds in and listened to your friends songs. You added some DCKZ songs too since you haven’t properly listened to their tunes yet.
As you were reaching to your destination, you felt a tap on your shoulder. You stop and take an earbud out to listen to whoever did that. You turn and see a pair of girls. You don’t know who they are so you’re wondering about what they want. “Can I help you?” You ask. One of them smirked, “Yeah, you’re yn right?” You nod slowly. “Well, we wanted to ask if it’s true.” “What’s true?” “That you have a boyfriend.”
You raised a brow. “Yes, it’s true.” “Can we see who it is?” You have your guard up now. You’re not supposed to reveal its Scaramouche or hell would come to the both of you. “Sorry but that’s private.” They giggled. “Private? So, he doesn’t exist?” You sigh, “Listen, i know all of you don’t like me but I don’t have to explain myself about my boyfriend.” They look at each other then to you. “You really don’t have a boyfriend.” “I do!” “Then show us.”
You knew those girls wouldn’t leave you alone till you showed them a picture. As much as you wanted to tell the whole world that Scaramouche is yours, you couldn’t. You had to think of something else but your friends are all celebrities. You could use Lumine and you knew she’d be okay with it but fans know she’s Aethers sister and you didn’t want to trouble her. Who knows what the fans would do knowing that information.
“Okay, hold on.” You took out your phone and rapidly texted the guys for help. The girls were growing impatient as they tried to peek. You had to turn around to hide your phone. You cursed to yourself since none of them answered. You were running out of time until Childe messaged you back. He said, “I got you.” With typos and you assumed he was busy. A photo was sent and you let a sigh of relief before turning back around to show the girls.
There eyes widen in amazement. “He’s cute, right?” You smirked even though you had no idea who that guy is. “He is.” They say and looked at each other before looking at you. “Guess we were wrong.” You sighed once more. You put your phone away and went to put back your earbud. However, it barely made it to your ear before one of the girls say, “Hey, isn’t that him?” You froze. “Say what?”
She was pointing at the direction your ‘boyfriend’ is in and your stomach dropped as you saw him. You quickly took out your phone and tapped on the photo, looking up and down and sure enough, it’s the same guy. ‘WHAT THE HELL CHILDE?!’ You were so screwed.
“What perfect timing!” She said as the other nods. “Since we’re still here, you should introduce him to us!” You jumped. “W-What? No way! It’s getting late-“ “Nonsense! HEY YNS BOYFRIEND!” They shouted and you quickly covered their mouths. “I-I’ll get him!” You ran towards the guy, grabbed his arm, and instead of going back, you went behind the main building to hide. You looked out to check that no one saw you. “Um, can I help you?” You jumped and turned to him. “S-Sorry, um, i need your help.”
“Oh?” “Y-You see. Um, i told these girls that you’re my boyfriend…” He’s startled by this. “Me?” “Yes, but you see, i can’t really tell them my actual boyfriend because of… reasons and I asked one of my friends for help and they sent me YOUR picture and you apparently go here so um…” You held his hands and bowed. “Can you please help me?!” “Okay.” “I understand if you can’t but-“ You paused and looked up. “Wait what?” He laughed then smiled. “I’ll help you.”
You wanted to cry. “You’re an angel.” You let go and the two of you started to walk back. “Uh, by the way, what’s your name?” “Thoma. Yours?” “Yn.” “Nice to meet you, Yn.” He smiled at you and you smiled back.
Once you made it, the girls surrounded Thoma in amazement. “Wow! He’s even cute up close.” He chuckled, nervously. “Thanks.” You nodded. “Now, you’ve seen him. Can we go?” They frowned. “But we want to get to know him!” Thoma shook his head. “We have classes to go to. Maybe next time?” The girls pouted. “Let’s at least get a picture!” Thoma tilted his head. “A picture?” Your eyes widen. ‘Crap, if a picture gets out of us then Scaramouche will find out.’
You stood in front of Thoma. “W-Wait!” But it was too late as a flash went off and the girls ran off. You gasped, “H-Hey!” Thoma frowned as he put a hand on your shoulder. “I’m sorry.” You sighed. “It’s not your fault, Thoma. Thank you for your help though.” He smiled with a nod. “Of course.” He started to head off and waved, “Bye, Yn.” You waved back. “Bye.” Suddenly, you felt your phone go off and you knew why.

- Thoma isn’t famous but there’s a reason why Childe wants him to be a secret 😉
- I love drama

Heart's Defense
Tumblr media
Characters: A good 90% of playable characters + unreleased harbingers (not all of them tho)
Summary: How do they protect their heart from others?
CW: Kinda, really angsty..., some duplications cause I felt they fell into both sections, not proofread, maybe some OOCness, kinda an x reader but also kinda not, VERY sorry for the formatting - Tumblr has something against me for some reason???
Tumblr media
They pull you into the falsehood that they're open to telling you anything, and you're left unable to think any differently with how friendly they present themselves. Always willing to help or hang out. They lend a listening ear and before you know it they know so much more about you than you know about them. You'll be privy to surface facts, but the moment anyone asks something even remotely personal you're struck with an indescribable sense of loss. When did this friendship become so one-sided?
Childe, Venti, Hu Tao, Jean, Ayato, Zhongli, Itto, Beidou, Sara, Lisa, Heizou, Columbina
Masters of stringing the right words together at just the right time, they simply dissuade the topic to that of another. You won't notice it until it's too late - or maybe you see it right from the start but say nothing, catching the hint. But you can never miss the shift in their gaze, a quiet, unspoken sadness. Unknowingly they've revealed what they tried to hide, but you stay silent still. The least you can do is grant them this lie that keeps them from crashing and breaking.
Kaeya, Kazuha, Yae Miko, Ningguang, Beidou, Eula, Gorou, Fischl, Thoma, Yoimiya
There were never any openings to begin with, not a single way left for outsiders to wiggle their way in uninvited. You can't ask if there's no opportunity. As always thought, there are the select few that breach past the seemingly impenetrable barrier. To those people, they are met with yet another brick wall - they'll ask their unsolicited questions only to be answered with silence. Any persistence is followed with a facial warning - a blank look, a glare, a perturbing smile. Do not continue, for my sake and your ignorant bliss.
Rosaria, Diluc, Xiao, Albedo, Eula, Shinobu, Shenhe, Yelan, Baihzu, Arlecchino, Dottore, Capitano, Scaramouche, Childe
Every fiber of their being screams to share how they feel with you, a flicker of trust forever burning in their heart no matter how many times they're beaten to the ground. Humanity isn't all that bad right? They've seen it time and time again, so they continue to pour tiring faith into those around them. It doesn't mean they're entirely blind to the truth. So, when the cycle falls to you, hesitation takes over, a fear festering in their mind that you are like all that came before you. Perhaps, if they stay silent, refuse to let you in, you'll remain by their side. If that's the price, so be it.
Collei, Aether, Lumine, Yanfei, Yun Jin, Kokomi, Amber, Chongyun, Bennett, Barbara, Ayaka, Venti

Hiii 💚 Congrats on 2k followers! You write so well and have amazing ideas. Plus you’re so kind and fun to interact with. Very well deserved! 
I’d love to join your 1.5k celebration please.
Can I request for a romantic pair with the Slytherin boys? Enzo is my fave but I’m curious if you think I’d pair better with someone else 👀 I love a good enemies to lovers trope, but will leave that up to you.
Also curious about PJO and ATLA but no need if it’s going to be too long. I’m mostly interested in HP.
Here’s some info about me:
✿ I have 1 black cat who’s super clingy and sweet but he meows a lot when he wants something and always looks confused. He’s a rescue.
✿ I love flowers, my friends always tell me they remember me when they see something floral. I generally love being in nature and go for regular walks outdoors.
✿ Generally cheerful, calm, and positive. I’m introverted at first but outgoing with friends and tend to be the therapist in the group. People feel comfortable sharing things and asking for advice, knowing I won’t judge them.
✿ I love reading, writing, journaling. My fave genres for books are murder mysteries, rom coms, fantasy, bit of sci fi. Mostly fiction.
✿ I enjoy studying and got good grades but was also a student leader in one of the organizations at my university. So I’d say pretty well rounded? Refined my academic skills and practical experience.
Thank you 💚 Hope you have a great day!
hey sweet girl, thank you so much 💕you're getting all three of course💕
Harry Potter; Romantic Match-Up: Lorenzo Berkshire
Tumblr media
enzo and you clicked almost immediately, bonding over your shared love for nature and your quirky personalities. your black cat, with his constant meowing and perpetually confused expression, quickly became enzo’s excuse to be near you, with him covering up his crush on you by telling you he just wants to hang out with your cat.
enzo loved surprising you with bouquets of your favorite flowers, knowing that they never failed to bring a smile to your face. he'd often show up at your dorm with a bunch of wildflowers he'd picked during his runs, just to see the joy light up your eyes.
despite your generally cheerful demeanor, there were times when you needed a shoulder to lean on, and enzo was always there for you. he'd listen patiently as you poured out your heart, offering sage advice and terrible jokes in equal measure to lift your spirits.
your shared love for reading and writing infected him, leading to many late-night conversations, as you discussed your favorite books and exchanged stories and ideas. enzo loved hearing your thoughts on different genres and authors, often finding himself inspired by your passion and creativity.
as your friendship deepened, you discovered all sorts of quirks about each other, from enzo's love for cheesy romantic comedies to your obsession with solving murder mysteries. you'd spend hours binge-watching movies together, laughing at the ridiculous plotlines and trading theories about who the killer was.
as your bond with enzo grew stronger, you began to notice little signs of his crush on you, despite his attempts to play it cool. he'd find any excuse to spend time with you, whether it was helping you study or joining you on your nature walks, all while still insisting that he was just there for your cat.

Avatar The Last Airbender; Romantic Match-Up: Zuko
Tumblr media
you and zuko were destined to clash from the moment you first crossed paths in the Earth kingdom. your cheerful and positive demeanor stood in stark contrast to zuko's brooding and intense personality, making you natural adversaries in the ongoing conflict between the fire Nation and the avatar.
despite your initial animosity towards each other, fate seemed to constantly throw you together on your journey to help aang. your encounters were filled with heated arguments and tense standoffs, as you both stubbornly clung to your beliefs and loyalties.
however, amidst the chaos of the war, you found moments of quiet understanding and shared vulnerability. zuko's troubled past and inner turmoil mirrored your own struggles, creating an unexpected bond between you that neither of you could fully understand.
as you journeyed together alongside the avatar and his friends, after he joined your group, facing danger and adversity at every turn, you began to see zuko in a new light. beneath his tough exterior, you glimpsed a flicker of warmth and compassion that drew you to him despite your better judgment.
with each shared hardship and triumph, the barriers between you began to crumble, revealing layers of complexity and depth beneath the surface. you couldn't deny the growing admiration and respect you felt for him as he fought alongside you with unwavering determination.
as the journey progressed, you found yourself gravitating towards him, drawn to his unwavering sense of honor and his commitment to redemption. his past mistakes and inner struggles resonated with your own, forging a connection between you that transcended the boundaries of friendship.
though you tried to resist the pull of your feelings, you couldn't deny the undeniable chemistry and tension that simmered between you. your heart softened towards him as you witnessed his gradual transformation from enemy to ally, finding solace in his presence amidst the chaos of war.
Song: Demons by Imagine Dragons
Percy Jackson And The Olympians; Romantic Match-Up: Grover Underwood
Tumblr media
you and grover have been friends since the day you first arrived at camp. you were immediately drawn to his tranquil demeanor. your shared love for nature formed an instant connection between you.
as cabin leader, you often sought out grover's advice on how to create a welcoming and harmonious environment for your fellow campers. he admired your dedication and leadership skills, always offering his support and guidance whenever you needed it.
despite the demands of your role, you always made sure you made time for him, finding solace in the peacefulness of the natural world. he became a confidant and a trusted friend, someone you could always rely on to lift your spirits and offer a listening ear.
your friendship with blossomed over the years, deepening with each passing summer. you shared laughter and stories amidst the blooming flowers, forging memories that would last a lifetime.
and as the years went by, you couldn't help but feel a growing warmth in your heart whenever you were around himr. with the beauty of nature as your backdrop and the support of your friends by your side, you began to realize that your feelings for Grover were more than just friendship.
at first, you brushed off those feelings, convincing yourself that it was just a deep appreciation for your friend. but as time went on, you couldn't deny the flutter in your stomach whenever he smiled at you or the way your heart skipped a beat when your hands accidentally brushed against each other.
Song: Count on Me by Bruno Mars

Chapter 8
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While walking to the cafe,you were really nervous.Its not that you didn't wanna meet Yoimiya's friend,but because you have social anxiety.People often mistake you as a extrovert and outgoing but really,your not.You find it hard to befriends with people,but when you are close to the person,you show them your true self.
Now at the door of the cafe you were met by Hu-tao.Your bestfriend and is also the reason why you met all these wonderful people and your no.1 supporter on doing streams.Sometimes you think that you wouldn't know what to do without her.
"Hey Y/n !! Follow me to our table" she said happily.As I followed her to our table I noticed that the only people on the table was Yoimiya, Kazuha,And Aether.I asked "Yoi where is this person you wanted us to meet?"
"She's late because of her brother.Her brother is really overprotective of her and wants to make sure that she's safe.Dont worry tho shes almost here!" I sat down next to Kazuha and Hu-tao.
A few hours have passed by and a girl went up to us.She had a ponytail and look really elegant and pretty.She sat down to the empty seat which is next to Kazuha.
"Everyone,meet my friend Ayaka!" Everyone welcomed her and said Hi to her.Ayaka was really quiet and I can tell that she is like me.When I was new to this friendgroup I was exactly like that.Quiet and afraid if I might say something wrong.While me and Kazuha talked,I included her into our Convo as I didn't want her to feel left out.
As we were talking,I saw a guy.He had purple hair,kinda short,and most importantly,looked like the guy on Childe's stream.I knew I had to talk with him to ask him questions.I had alot of questions that are still unanswered like "how do you know o/n?" "Whats your name?",ect.
"Guys I have to go,I just need to go to the bathroom" I walked up to him.
༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶
Ayaka noticed that Kazuha was slightly sad, "Anything wrong?" She said. "No im fine,just remembered something" "he smiled sadly.
"Kazuha.I know when someone isn't fine and I can tell you aren't.I know we aren't close but feel free to let out what your feeling to me.If you don't tell anyone what your feeling its gonna be heavy to carry.Your feelings are valid." Kazuha was shocked.This was the first time someone actually cared about what he's feeling.
He sighed and told Ayaka about his problem. "Kazu,I can tell that your an amazing and respectful person.You dont deserve what your feeling and most importantly,someone who won't even return back your feelings.Im not telling you to uncrush them.But you'll just get hurt in the end.I don't want you to get hurt."
Kazu..? He thought,someone made him a nickname...? This was the first time someone made him a nickname and he promised to cherish the nickname Kazu.
"Thankyou Ayaka.Im happy that you listened to what I felt.Im grateful to have a friend like you" Ayaka smiled "Anytime Kazu."
༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶
A few hours went by and Ayaka and Kazuha were having a convo that felt like seconds. "I feel like Y/n ditched us" Lumine said "I might know the reason,I saw Childe's friendgroup including the redflag guy she had been crushing on". "We should make an nickname for him! How about Redflag?" Everyone laughed.
It was now time to go home because the Cafe was about to close.Everyone said bye to eachother.

Distractions (The Khaenri'ahns x GN!reader)
Tumblr media
Scenario: You haven’t been yourself lately, and they’ve noticed. So in order to cheer you up, they try to distract you by getting your mind off things. Whether it be a small pastime/errand or a walk to clear your head.
Featuring: Lumine, Aether, Dainsleif, Kaeya, & Albedo. (Plus a bonus character at the end lol)
Warning/s: Might be a tiny bit suggestive in Kaeya’s part, but it doesn’t really imply anything. Mostly just fluff ☁️
Tumblr media
Lumine
> Lumine sees herself in you, so needless to say, she definitely has a soft spot that’s reserved for you alone.
> She’ll take you to her favorite places to cheer you up. If you want to talk to her about your problems along the way, you don’t even need to ask.
> If you’re silent, Lumine will simply ask you if you want to talk, but she won’t push you to do it.
> Maybe she’ll take you to a spot that’s good for stargazing, or take you to a place where there’s lots of crystalflies for you to watch flying about.
> If she could at least just witness a peaceful side of you and make you forget about all your hardships, even just for a little bit, she’ll be content.
> It does her heart good to know that you can begin healing yourself whenever you’re around her.
> In conclusion: Lumine best girl 💫
Aether
> Very worried boy
> Aether drops literally everything to tend to your aid. Like please relax, even Paimon’s more composed than you (T^T )
> Hugs for daysss 🫂🫂
> I think that physical touch is one of Aether’s love languages, so he doesn’t hesitate to run to you and give you one big heck of a hug the moment he sees you cry.
> Even if you don’t cry or say anything, he will still know that you’re sad. Either way he’ll just engulf you in his embrace, gently stroking your hair in the process.
> Please don’t refuse! His hugs are the best. Not too tight, not too loose, just right. 💕
> He’ll hold you for as long as you want him to. He’s not planning to let you go until your pain subsides and you’ve let all your discomforts out of your system.
> You don’t even need to say anything tbh, he understands you completely. You’re his other half, after all.
Dainsleif
> “Something’s clearly been bothering you,” Dainsleif is much more straightforward, but it’s not as if he’s forcing you into opening up. It was more of an encouragement since his tone indicated visible concern.
> And although he might not admit it, this little act of his was a small act of love for his you. He loves you too much to see you sad without telling him why.
> Dainsleif is a great listener. And you can’t tell me otherwise (◕‿◕♡)
> He’s basically just your therapist at this point; but he doesn’t really give much insight on his opinions about your problems, and that’s because he chooses to listen rather than to talk.
> He doesn’t presume to know how it feels to be in your shoes, because honestly, he doesn’t. That doesn’t entirely mean he won’t try, though! I feel as if he’s an ‘actions speak louder than words’ type of guy
> He’ll listen to you rant about whatever’s been bothering you, all the while maintaining a look of understanding on his face. However, if it’s a person that made you sad, well goodluck to them because they’re in for an earful. (Or a beating tbh)
Kaeya
> Husband material™
> Depending on the situation, Kaeya might approach you with a little teasing here and there.
> He’ll probably come up to you and just be like: “Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. But I was there with you, wasn’t I? I don’t see the problem.”
> Anyways that’s besides the point 😭
> If Kaeya senses that you actually are upset, he won’t tease you; because like every other decent person, he knows how to read the room before approaching you. It’s just the bare minimum 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
> He’ll gently rub circles around your back as you vent to him. If you’re crying he’ll wipe a few stray tears away from your cheeks, the pain in his eyes mirroring your own. It hurts him to see you cry :((
> If there’s anything he can do to help you, he’d do it in a heartbeat. There’s nothing that he wouldn’t do for you, so he’d do everything in his power to see you smile again.
Albedo
> Albedo is a clever one. He catches on pretty quick, so he’ll know if you’re not feeling yourself in almost an instant.
> He doesn’t say anything because he doesn’t want to pry, but he does ask you if you want to go on a walk with him on the outskirts of Dragonspine. (He’ll also hand you his coat if you’re feeling cold)
> If you refuse, he feels as if he has no choice but to pry into your feelings. And he does, but he’s not forcing you. He’ll pry ever-so-gently for the sake of not overstepping your boundaries.
> If you accept, however, he’s going to use the opportunity to try and distract you. And once you’re feeling better, that’s the moment he asks if you want to talk.
> Either way, Albedo’s always willing to listen to your troubles. He’ll even go out of his way to try and help you get rid of them. That’s just how much he cares for you <3
Bonus - Paimon
> She’d take you to Wanmin Restaurant for some slime tasting. And you can’t refuse
*cue happy Xiangling noises*
Tumblr media
Notes: Thanks for reading!! (P.S, as I’m posting this, my teacher is currently grading my test and he’s definitely taking his time with it; which means I’m most likely gonna fail. I still hope you enjoyed though, until next time!)

midnight at the museum - spencer reid
summary: just a fluffy and very special date night in a museum with your favorite genius
warnings: fluff overload
inspired by the lumineers, 10/10 recommend listening to them while reading
Tumblr media
"Spence, can you please tell me where we're going?"
Spencer was sitting in the driver's seat, looking all too pleased with himself as he drove you two through the ever-busy streets of Washington D.C. It was almost midnight, and all he had said before you left your shared apartment was, "Let's go for a drive, I have something to show you."
Surprises were not Spencer's forte. They made him too anxious and he almost always ended up spilling. And usually you could tell beforehand if he was planning something. But this was definitely out of the blue.
"You know what's concerning me at this moment?" You spoke, gazing out the window at the lit up city, "You study serial killers for a living. And you're a genius. Which means you could probably figure out the perfect way to murder me without anyone finding out. Is that what this is?"
"Actually, that's not true," Spencer said factually, "There really is no such thing as the perfect crime. And lucky for you, we're almost there so I don't have time to explain to you all the scientific reasons why."
"You didn't say no," you teased, pretending to look worried.
Spencer chuckled, "Y/N, you know I'm not going to murder you. I'd have to be dead for there to be any possibility of you getting murdered by anyone. Just trust me."
He instructed you to close your eyes before turning down another road, and you had to say you were pretty excited. He parallel parked the car and turned it off. You heard him get out and the shutting of his door, and then yours opened.
"Here, hold on to me," he took your hands, helping you step cautiously out of the vehicle. Once the door was shut and the car was locked, he placed his hands gently over your eyes from behind, "One...two...three...open!"
You opened your eyes and were immediately confused, "Spencer...why are we at the Smithsonian Art Museum? It's way too late for it to be open."
"It's not open to the public, obviously," he took your hand in his, "it's nearly midnight. But it's open for us."
Your eyes lit up, "Are we doing a National Treasure type thing? Cause I'm so down for that."
Spencer chuckled, "No, we're not stealing anything. Just come on, you'll see."
He took you by the hand and led you down the sidewalk and up the stairs to the entrance. A man in a black polo and khakis was waiting for you there.
"Is this the lucky girl?" He asked Spencer.
"I would say yes, but I think I'm the lucky one," Spencer smiled, "Thanks for doing this."
"It's no problem," the man smiled, "Anything for our favorite seminar speaker."
The man led the two of you inside, whispering something to Spencer before locking the entrance again and sitting in a chair by the door.
"I'll be here if you need anything," he said, pulling out his phone.
You turned to Spencer, smiling harder than you thought possible, "Did you really get us into the Smithsonian Art gallery after hours?"
Spencer's face lit up excitedly, "We have the whole place to ourselves for as long as we want. Well, more like for the next two hours, but still."
You should've felt out of place in your yoga pants and one of Spencer's Caltech tee shirts and cardigans, plus your old vans that were the closest ones to the door, all from leaving in such a hurry. But for some reason, it felt just right.
You gave him a playful look and dropped his hand, "Race you to Degas!"
He hardly had time to process what you had said before you were racing down to the elevators. The two of you knew that museum like the back of your hand; it was the site of your first date and many dates afterward.
You were panting my the time you skidded into the exhibit, letting out a squeal of surprise when you found Spencer was already there. He was doubled over in front of one of the sculptures with his hands on his knees.
"Spence, you okay?" You breathed heavily. You were seriously considering signing you and your boyfriend up for a gym.
He nodded, raising a hand weakly to signal he was catching his breath. Eventually, he stood up to his full height, his head tipping back has he breathed out a heavy sigh, "Stairs."
You swallowed lungfuls of air greedily, finally relaxing your racing heart, "How...how did you run up three flights of stairs and all the way across the building in less than three minutes without dying?"
Spencer still panted slightly, shaking his head, "I don't know, I feel pretty dead right now."
You giggled, which in your exhausted state came out more like little puffs of breath, as you walked over to him, "This one's my favorite."
"I know," he smiled, coming up behind you to wrap his arms around your middle as you admired the sculpture, "Little Dancer of Fourteen Years, completed in 1881. Actually, it's your favorite sculpture of Degas', but your favorite painting is over there."
You bit back a grin as your eyes followed where his hand pointed to The Ballet Class. He was right. His eidetic memory always made him remember the little things.
He tucked his chin into your shoulder and just held you there. Everything seemed so magical about the moment, about the whole night. It felt like the two of you were in your own little world, the only ones inside that massive museum full of precious art. It felt like anything was possible.
Once you grew restless, you took his hand and began to wander around your favorite exhibits, running and jumped around in the large, empty halls and entry ways like kids in a candy store.
You played hide and seek and took turns scaring each other by jumping out from behind sculptures and statues. Although Spencer hates seeing you scared for a moment when he startled you, he loved watching you crack up laughing seconds later.
There was one particularly open area that lead to all the different gallery entrances and had a marble fountain in the center.
Spencer lead you over by the fountain, bowing goofily and offering you his hand, "May I have this dance?"
You giggled, "Spence you hate dancing."
He pulled you in anyways, holding you close. You sighed letting your head fall to his shoulder. That's when he began to sing.
"Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you."
His voice was off key and strained as it always was. Singing was one of the only things he really couldn't do. But your heart melted anyways, tears clouding your vision as you stared out at the moon shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows around you.
He giggled slightly at his own voice before continuing, "Oh shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help
Falling in love with you."
He would have kept going, but the moment was far too sweet for you to not kiss him. You pulled away enough to meet his eyes before connecting your lips to his. It was soft and tender, matching the atmosphere.
Then his phone buzzed in his pocket.
You prayed you two weren't being whisked away on a case, not when you were having the best time of your life.
He just smiled at the screen before pocketing it again, "Time for part two."
You were confused but intrigued, allowing him to pull you along as he ran towards the elevators down the hall. Once you were at the top floor, he led you all the way down to a door that read "Staff Entry Only."
He just grinned at you and punched in a code on the keypad next to the door. It hissed as it unlocked, and he pushed it open, revealing a short staircase to the roof. He nudged you to go on in front of him, and you trotted up the steps to the most beautiful sight you were sure you'd ever seen.
He had set up an entire picnic on the roof overlooking the museum district of the city. You could see the thousands of twinkling lights on buildings all around, accented by the fairy lights Spencer set up. A light breeze blew your hair back. It was all just ok perfect to be real.
"Do you like it?" He asked shyly.
You turned to him with the most adoring gaze, "I love it Spence," you gave him a tight hug, "I love you."
He wrapped an arm around your waist and an arm around your shoulders, kissing your head, "I love you too."
The two of spent the rest of your time drinking your time curled up together on the outstretched quilt, drinking favorite brand of lemonade and eating assorted flavors of scones as you stared up at the stars. It was just the two of you, no distractions, not a single other person in sight.
For those few fleeting hours, nothing existed outside Y/N and Spencer.

Alec hesitates, hand raised to knock on a door that opens before his fist can fall. Magnus turns to him with interest, book already flying from his hand back to a shelf as he stalks towards Alec.
“Aren’t you a delightful surprise.” Magnus murmurs and Alec shudders, because he can tell Magnus means it. He’s delighted by Alec’s presence and from the way his magic is pulling Alec close, eager to see him.  It’s only been a few hours since Magnus woke and left their bed first, but Alec’s first instinct is still to seek him out.
No matter how physically sated and sore, or how heartsick he leaves Alec, Magnus is still a flame he can’t help but flutter towards. It’s ridiculous and Alec knows it is. Magnus has claimed and caged every part of Alec he can and now, he’s even claiming what shards of Alec’s jaded and shattered heart remain.
“Come sit there—” Magnus says and he point to a large arm sofa.  Alec obeys, sitting warily and then he’s being pinned by magic as Magnus lays across his lap with a book.  “Good boy.” Alec is told absently and then Magnus is shifting, cheek on Alec’s thigh as he reads.
It takes hours of laying there for Alexander to finally reach out and touch and something in Magnus croons darkly and settles at the feeling.  In fact, Magnus is wishing that Alexander never once stops playing with his hair.  It’s a delightfully soothing and feeling and Alexander is careful in a way that is less about Magnus’ fragility and more about his own.
“Don’t stop now.” Magnus chides his boy, when Alexander hesitates and starts to stop. His consort new he wasn’t really asleep and he waivers, but he does listen and Magnus settles in happily.
Perhaps after killing a few more people for daring to look at Alexander, he’ll feel more settled.

february! eleven— fresh start
Tumblr media
essays
childe hates essays, especially if the topic is something personal. childe doesn’t like sharing his personal, innermost thoughts on paper, especially since someone who’s practically a stranger to him will read it.
he was brainstorming on how to make his essay more vague but still somewhat informative? if that was even possible
until he heard his phone ring
groaning, he picked it up and swiped on the ‘answer’ button without even checking who called
hello?
he said in a monotone voice
childe? are you busy?
he quickly stood up at the sound of the familiar voice and a small smile appeared on his face.
lumine! no im not busy at all, why?
he said as he shut down the laptop
in the past few months, childe followed yn’s advice and now he talks to lumine from time to time, wanting to find out if he still has feelings for the said girl
if he does— well he’ll probably confess to gain closure before wanting to confess and pursue yn
if he doesn’t then that’s just fine, he’ll still pursue yn anyway
do you know any of yn’s contact info?
yeah? wait, why aren’t you asking ayaka for any of this??
ayaka hasn’t been responding to my messages and its been like five hours, so since you’re close and all i called you
i also tried on twitter but she wasn’t replying
oh yeah, she said she needed a break from twitter so she deleted the app for now— god knows how long she’ll last without it
just send me her number!
yup, anything else?
nope, thanks
by—
he said as he was cut off by the beeping sound—signaling that the call had ended
he sighed as he turned off his phone, not noticing the messages being sent before the screen went black
Tumblr media
you sat there in your room, procrastinating once again
taking a social media break was useless, you had a laptop anyways but still refused to open any apps— you were drained to say the least after everything that occurred earlier you truly needed a break
on your way to the kitchen, you heard people whispering and decided to listen
so we’re renewing their passports tomorrow right?
yes, we need to get ready for the move. we’ll probably leave most of our furniture here, we can easily buy new ones
let’s cherish our remaining three months here, there’s no guarantee we’re coming back unless it’s vacation
how do you think the kids will take it?
they’ll be just fine—
we won’t be just fine
you interrupted them
yn…
you weren’t planning on telling us till last minute again weren’t you?
no honey, we were going to tell you tomorrow—
i thought we weren’t to move until next year?
well we found a way to speed up the process, it’s not like it’s your first time doing this
the last time we did this i lost everything, do you know how hard it is to just suddenly start over??
how do you think my brother would feel about this?
we’re really sorry dear..
save it
you said as you stomped back into your room
which brings us back to now
i have social media now so it’ll be fine right??
it’s not like i’ll lose everyone in the blink of an eye
you bitterly laughed and proceeded to bang your head on the desk
i should tell them before it’s too late

FFxivWrite 2023
Day 15 - Portentous
"How can anybody be so stupid?!"
A'viloh grimaced and turned to the enraged Viera, that was yelling at him from behind.
"Did you just call me stupid?!", he spat back already annoyed by his involuntary teammate’s attitude.
The Viera had introduced themself as Rael Hyskaris and for a second A'viloh was actually interested in the new companion. He neither had met a Viera before nor could he tell whether Rael was a rather girlish boy or a very broody girl, which was strangely intriguing. But the somewhat condescending scowl on the Viera‘s face should have told him from the start that this task would become annoying.
His nerves were stretched rather thin anyway, given the task at hand, he didn’t need some grumpy know-better to scold him around… The Inn-Keeper in Limsa had asked A'viloh for support and send him all the way out to Aleport to investigate pirate activities in the area. Pirates, of all things possible, it had to be pirates!
The contact at the Sastasha Seagrot had already awaited him and introduced him to some other adventurers, who where supposed to be his teammates for this mission: A Hyuran Marauder from Limsa Lominsa and a Lalafellin Thaumaturge from Ul'dah. And of course lastly Rael, a Viera Conjurer. A'viloh had seen quite some arrogant people during his journey so far but this one had managed to piss him off unusually quickly.
They had introduced themselves, listened to a few more tidbits of intel about the place and the threats they may encounter and then they had made their way into the cave.
The scenery was surprisingly pretty considering A'viloh had expected a damp, dark hellhole filled with drunk and brutal pirates. Myriads of strange things grew all over the place and against all expectations it was quite bright and colorful for a cave because there were various luminous plants or corals shining in all kinds of pretty colors.
At first they had made very good progress. The ground wasn’t too swampy, the monsters relatively harmless and the whole team seemed to be capable. But at some point Rael stopped and called for them to wait. They knelt and plucked some soggy piece of paper from the ground turning it this way and that, trying to figure out what was written on it.
"What’s that?", the Marauder had asked and Rael had shrugged. They held up a damp note smeared with blood and read aloud: "The Capten lykes his kebbage Green… The spelling is horrible and the handwriting a disaster but I guess this confirms the Yellowjackets suspicion."
A'viloh knew it was most likely going to be pirates after all but the confirmation still made his mood drop and suddenly he couldn’t wait to get out of the cave again. "Alright, great!", he announced in an attempt to gloss over his nervousness. "Whatever! Let‘s move on, okay?" And so they did.
Everything went smooth and for quite a while there was no hint of pirates until at some point they found themselves at a dead end filled with more glowing colorful corals. For a moment they just stood there and tried to figure out if they had taken a wrong turn somewhere, when the Lalafell suddenly exclaimed: "What’s that?"
They huddled around an eerily red glowing coral and tried to see what the Lalafell was pointing at. "A button?" the Marauder asked rather confused and suddenly A'viloh saw it too. It was hidden nicely if you didn’t know what to look for. "It’s a secret passage!" A'viloh felt particularly clever for figuring that out. "Let’s press it!", he suggested and before anyone could interfere he had already done so without thinking twice.
"Wait!" Rael had protested waving around the parchment from earlier but it was already too late. With a slight tremor and ominous growling a pathway opened between the corals and a giant Coeurl jumped out and immediately threw itself at A'viloh with sharp claws and teeth. He jumped to the left trying to avoid it but something still hit him and smashed him into a bunch of corals. He felt dizzy and when he tried to get to his feet again his right leg caved with a sharp sting of pain running through it.
Rael rushed to his side and raised their wand. A warm rush of healing magic flooded through A'viloh‘s body and a moment later he could walk again. Before he could even think about saying thank you the Viera was gone again trying to help the marauder to not get eaten alive. A'viloh shook out his limbs and grabbed his brass knuckles to aid them.
The beast was tough but against their combined forces it stood no chance and at last a fireball from the Lalafell‘s staff brought it down. They all sighed deeply, happy to be still alive, but while the others hadn’t connected the dots yet Rael was furious and had immediately snapped at A'viloh for being stupid.
"Yes, I called you stupid! What else would you call it to just blindly go and press some button not knowing what it does?! What could possibly go wrong??"
Before A'viloh could even open his mouth to defend himself the Viera ranted on and threw the piece of paper from earlier at him. "This was a trap! An obvious one even! The solution was right here and instead of using your brain for one second you almost got all of us killed!"
He didn’t mean to get defensive but this accusation did in fact hurt him more than he cared to admit. "Oh, come on!", he exclaimed. "How was anybody going to figure out this was going to happen?"
"There are multiple buttons here, stupid! Are you not just dumb, but also colorblind? It‘s a riddle! The right button is the green one, just like the note says!", Rael yelled at him and A'viloh hissed angrily at the insult. He was pretty sure the other's hadn't figured that out either...
Before the argument could escalate any further the Marauder stepped between them, arms outstretched to keep them at bay. "Calm down, everyone! Gladly we are all still alive thanks to Rael and we all learned a lesson today. But we still have a mission to take care of, so let’s move on. Carefully!"
They glared at each other for another moment and then went along growling to themselves. Secretly A'viloh wondered what he would have done if anybody had died today because of his mistake…
***
Rael had really hoped their first team mission to be different than that but instead they found all their suspicions proven true. Rael was reluctant to trust other people with anything important and was convinced to best work alone. If you want the job done correctly, better do it yourself.
The mission had been easy enough so far and the team looked okay but then there was that antsy redhead Miqo'te, that seemed to have left his brain at home this morning.
Somehow they had managed to survive the monster he had unleashed on them but it could easily have ended with one or even all of them dead. But somehow the other ones seemed very nonchalant about the incident, too nonchalant for Rael‘s taste.
They had talked a little before the Miqo'te had arrived at the outpost and Rael had learned that the Hyur and the Lalafell had already worked together a few times. They definitely were a little more experienced than Rael and maybe that meant they knew how to deal with imminent danger more calmly. Maybe Rael had reacted too harshly, maybe they shouldn’t have yelled at A'viloh so rudely, it certainly didn’t help anyone… But there was no time contemplating this now. Rael was even more observant than before, just in case, and gladly the redhead had learnt his lesson and seemed to be a little more careful than before.
After the trap with the Coeurl it indeed didn’t take much longer for them to encounter pirates, just like the Yellowjackets had suspected. Shortly after defeating the first few pirates a loud deep laughter announced the presence of their Captain. The sound echoed from the cave walls, multiplying itself and making it seem more threatening. The marauder-thaumathurg duo remained unimpressed but A'viloh jumped in surprise. He looked panicked and once again Rael wondered how much of the Miqo'te’s ego was actually just show.
The captain send his lackeys at them and mocked them before running off. Looks like they would have to fight their way through his whole crew to chase him down. At least the pirates where no real match to them and quickly the four of them were running to catch up with their captain.
But soon the cave, that had been rather linear up to this point, turned into a big area with various paths to all sides, most of them cut of by heavy, locked gates and guarded by more pirates armed to the teeth. One of them luckily had a ring with lots of keys at his belt. A'viloh picked it up and jingled the key in front of Rael’s face with a big grin.
"What do you say, boss? Is that another trap or should I try those?", he sneered full of sarcasm.
"Haha, very funny.", Rael answered dryly and shook their head in exasperation.
It took a moment of fumbling with the various keys before the first heavy door swung open.
The Miqo'te gasped, stumbled backwards, almost falling over his own feet, and the key ring went clattering to the ground.
"What is it?", the Marauder asked and stepped into the door frame, weapon raised to shield them from whatever had scared A'viloh.
Rael stepped forward and tried to see what was at the other side. They squinted but all they could see were a few huddled figures in dim candlelight. The Thaumaturge summoned a ball of fire at the top of his staff and illuminated the room. It was a damp cell, dirty and cold, and dozens of women sat on the floor, their hands chained and their eyes filled with fear and fixed on the Marauder with his raised axe.
As realisation kicked in he quickly dropped his weapon and raised his hands in a defensive manner. "Calm down, we will not do you any harm. We are here to save you.", he said with a calm and soothing voice. Then he added with a look over his shoulder: "A'viloh, unlock their chains. Rael, check them for injuries."
Rael stepped forward but the Miqo'te stood frozen in place, his eyes wide, staring aimlessly into the prison cell.
"Hey? You alright?", Rael asked and was tempted to wave a hand in front of the redhead‘s face. "A'viloh?"
The Miqo'te blinked and fixed his eyes on Rael instead. "What?"
"We should free them and get them out of here", Rael repeated and nodded towards the keys.
"Of course…" A'viloh muttered and pressed the keys into Rael‘s hands. "Take care of that, I‘ll keep watch outside."
Before Rael could say anything, the Miqo'te rushed out of the cell. Once again Rael shook his head at his behaviour but decided there was no time for such nonsense.
They quickly freed the people in the prison cell, Rael healed the worst injuries as best as they could and then the Hyur gestured into the direction they came from. "Look, we cleared a path to the outside this way. It’s not far and there should be Yellowjackets waiting outside. You’ll be safe with them. Don’t worry, we are going to get the bastards who did this to you."
The others nodded in agreement. "We‘ll make them pay for that." A'viloh said and clenched his fists, before walking off to the opposite direction. His voice was not quite as convincing as his attitude though. "Let‘s go or that piece of gobbue dung is going to get away."
He was right. They had to hurry before they lost track of the pirates in the depths of the cavern. The pirates tried their best to slow them down but finally they caught up with their captain and that not a minute to early as he was just about to get to his ship. Right as they were going to face him, suddenly a giant Sahagin leapt from the water and struck down the pirate. So it was not just pirates after all…
The monster charged at them with a long harpoon and the Marauder almost didn’t manage to dodge the strike. He did his best to keep the Sahagin occupied and while the Hyur‘s axe and the beast‘s harpoon clashed repeatedly, the Thaumaturg let fire and ice rain down one the enemy and A'viloh darted fiercely around it‘s legs landing one punch after the other. Rael did their best to support them, using healing magic to keep their teammates up and running and throwing some elemental spells at the Sahagin whenever they could. And finally a bunch of hits directed to the monsters legs made it stumble and the Marauders buried his axe deep in the creature‘s chest. With a terrible shriek it fell. The fight was won.
The Lalafell cheered victoriously and the Huyr gave a reassuring nod. "Good job, everyone!"
A'viloh said nothing and looked over to the pirate captain‘s body. Rael followed his gaze. "To bad we didn’t get him alive.", the Viera said but A'viloh made a disgusted face and shook his head. "Nah, serves him right!"
"He may have had useful information about what happened here." Rael suggested. That made the Miqo'te huff. "We know exactly what happened here, smartass."
"Hey! What’s your problem?!" Rael asked angrily. They had done nothing to deserve his wrath and A'viloh really started to get on their nerves.
"I don’t have any problem. Mind your own business!", the redhead barked and walked off without another word or goodbye to any of them.
Rael shook their head and turned to the remains of their team. They decided to walk back to the entrance together and double check the caverns for more pirates or captives. When they made it back to the outside the fresh wind felt like a blessing and the sun had already begun to set over the ocean making the water look as red as blood.
At the Yellowjacket‘s outpost the prisoners were taken care of, but A'viloh was nowhere to be seen anymore. The Hyur and the Lalafell said their goodbyes and departed together and Rael sighed deeply and watched the sunset for another while.
It had been a stressful day, but at last their mission was successful. The pirates where defeated, a lot of people were saved. They had done good today. And the best of all was that Rael never had to see that moody redhead Miqo'te again…

@ofluminance: looking at the stars, lumine is reminded how there is still much between them that's been overlooked or left unsaid. most importantly, the truth behind who she really is: the past she's lived and the future she's yet to see. nuzzling her face further into bai's shoulder, lumine shuts her eyes, and then opens them, with a new found resolve. she sits up, adjusting her dress before she turns towards baizhu, " i have to tell you something. ― about me. about.. who i really am and my past. .. may i? "
Tumblr media
There is a unique serenity to lying beneath the stars with someone you feel truly comfortable with. It is something the doctor could indulge in for hours, if he could. A rarity, for him to willingly take such a lengthy break from his work, but she seems the most capable of persuading him to rest. So, when she suggested a late night walk and, then, to sit with her under the stars, he felt compelled to accept her tempting offer.
As she sits up, his amber gaze slides almost lazily in her direction. For a moment, he simply takes in her profile against the dark sky: radiant, as ever, a shining light amidst the night. Then her words register, and he pushes himself up alongside her, one hand instinctively reaching for hers.
"You can tell me anything." His tone is earnest, his words genuine. Whatever burden she carries, he has seen it weigh upon her. If he can ease some of that, even for just tonight, he will do it gladly. He brings her hand to his lips, kisses her knuckles softly. "I would love to hear it."
Tumblr media
There is already a warmth in his chest from knowing she trusts him to speak about such a personal topic. Mysteries have surrounded the Traveller from the start, questions that remain unanswered. He has never pushed, never pried, despite his own curiosities. If she wanted him to know, she would tell him, he reasoned.
Well, now it seems she wants to tell him. And he will listen.
