genshin men when you openly flirt with them<3 / with an aggressive flirt gender neutral reader (pt.1)
To note: modern au, college au, separate scenarios | fluff, humor
warnings: cheesy pick up lines(more on Kazuha's) + a one-liner is nsfw if u squint(Xiao's) + use of the word 'daddy' jokingly (Childe's) + the prompt's already out of the window as I got carried away writing each character's scenario 💀💀 + reader's an aggressive flirt to everyone but gets folded by albedo👍👍
Xiao
Absolutely repulsed.
It was your first time meeting and you didn't hesitate to use one of those cheesy pick-up lines on him.
"...damn, did you fall from heaven?"
"..."
"'Cause you're as pretty as an angel,"
He ends up giving you a stony face which amused you to no end. Little did you know, he was still processing what you said and would only probably figure out the meaning behind your words hours later—which will of course sour his mood to no end.
Everytime you see each other on campus, you'd be smiling so hard for no reason. Just seeing your toothy grin sends chills up his spine, especially when you go after him right after.
You were so shameless. You're not that close for you to joke around with him like that. But even so, he doesn't push you away.
"Were you waiting for me?"
He could almost see you smirking as he heard your voice from behind.
"..." He was just passing by your classroom, meeting you was a complete coincidence.
But of course you wouldn't let that go. "You didn't have to wait for me, you know that right? You're so sweet,"
He thought staying silent and unresponsive every time you teased him will eventually make you want to go away, but it looks like it backfired.
"Don't you have anything better to do?"
You were surprised at his sudden response. Normally you wouldn't get a single peep out of him. But even so, you restrained your excitement and feigned to be in deep thought before nodding.
"You."
"I'm the one asking you." Xiao was at his wit's end.
"And what did I say?" You laugh, gave him a quick pinch on the arm, and ran off.
He stood rooted in his spot, eyebrows frowned in confusion. Xiao watched as your figure disappeared right after you turned to a corner.
Until it dawned on him.
He almost passed out in anger.
The audacity! He's never going to let you make a fool out of him ever again!!
It'll be real hard to spot Xiao in the next few weeks even if you tried—he was so vigilant in his tracks you'd think he'd already transferred out... That was until you spotted him eating lunch under a tree. Lonesome as ever, you couldn't help but keep him company.
"Missed me enough to finally show yourself?"
You could visibly see him freeze and drop a chip in surprise. His back was suddenly straighter as he turned his head to meet your eyes.
"...can you leave?" He'd say in a dismissive tone, but you only laugh.
"Alright." Looking at his aggrieved face, you fought the urge to pinch both his cheeks.
"But just so you know, I missed you." It was true. It's been a whole month since you last saw him.
And maybe it was because of the way you said it. Somehow, he felt that what you told him was genuine.
You got ready to leave after giving him a small smile, but as you turned around, someone pulled on your hoodie tight—tight enough to make you pause.
"...Xiao?"
"I bought too many."
He said, not looking at you but looking at the paper bag beside him that was full of snacks.
"Then...I can eat them for you?" You ask him as you swiftly sat beside the man.
"You're so shameless." He shakes his head, and you almost thought you were hallucinating when you saw the small smile on his lips.
Childe
He'd be so into it!
"What's a fine gentleman like yourself doing in a place like this?"
"Looking for someone as equally fine like yourself," He'd be smirking as he leans on a countertop.
"..." Zhongli who invited you both to his housewarming party.
Ajax could never get enough of your dynamic! Finally, someone who can keep up with his fast-paced humor(yes, he's flirting ironically)!
It wouldn't be a surprise if the two of you have gotten closer ever since.
"You look so good in that baby," he says, as you give him a few poses wearing the new shirt you got. The wifi connection was extremely fast so video calls with him were the same as hanging out with him, you can chill while he's basically on a vacation on the other side of the world.
"Do I really?" You say in an overly coquettish voice, he had to go out of the camera's view to sneak in a laugh. You yourself almost broke character.
"You...pfft...you do.." He closed his eyes for a second and breathed in, clearing his mind.
"What're you doing daddy? Don't tell me...pfft...Y-You.. haha.."
"I what, baby?" He snorted.
"Y-You can't...resist my sexy aura..my sexy sexy charms..."
"Of...of course... I can't wait 'till I get my hands on my p-precious darling baby... W-Wearing their green Shrek shirt..."
You two were fighting for your lives not to laugh, both your faces looked like you were holding in a shit.
Suddenly a loud bang was heard on his end, making you two jump up slightly. Ajax whipped his head to see both his little brothers enter his room.
"See! I told you they're talking again!"
"Brother?"
They were fast, immediately crowding Ajax's laptop and seeing you on the videocall.
"Hi there," you smiled at the kids, but you'd be lying if you said you weren't a little nervous. This was the first time you'd be meeting Ajax's family, and it was in a way you didn't expect.
"I'm Teucer!"
"I'm Anthon, hello."
"I'm Y/n," you wave enthusiastically.
"We know," Anthon nods, and your brow quirked up in surprise.
"You know me?"
But your question was ultimately ignored.
"Your shirt looks odd." Teucer immediately went in for the kill and your face burned in embarrassment.
"Does it?" You try to play it cool, but at this point Ajax was already howling in laughter.
"What's so funny?" Teucer looked confused.
Anthon on the other hand, smiled wide.
"Y/n you made brother laugh!"
You crossed your arms and feigned haughtiness.
"That's right, what can't I do,"
"I hope you and brother will stay together for a long time."
"..?" Well that came out of nowhere.
"Brother told us all about you. You're nice, and you're cute, and you're cool."
You open your eyes so wide it almost bulged out.
"And you make brother happy. He said that before too,"
"..."
Ajax has stopped laughing by now.
You two awkwardly blinked at each other.
"By the way, I got a cool toy from brother..."Teucer was about to go on and ramble about the new toy but was scooped into his older brother's arm—both him and Anthon on either side.
"Now, now, me and Y/n have something to talk about."
"But I wanna talk to them!" "Me too,"
"Please? It'll only take a short while, but it's super top secret so we can't share it with you guys,"
"But why???"
And then you were left there, still awkward with yourself as you looked at the corner of Ajax's room. After a minute, he finally came back on screen.
"Sorry about that,"
"That's fine,"
And then silence.
It was real uncomfortable since you two were never awkward with each other before. You clear your throat loudly at the same time as he did.
"..."
"..."
"Maybe we should stop being so sus around each other."
"Maybe we should," Ajax looked away, the redness of the apples of his cheeks spreading throughout his neck and ears.
Kazuha
You'd assume that the way to his heart were flowery words.
"There was a thump,"
"??" Kazuha whipped his head behind him to look for the source of the voice.
"The sound of the moment we fell."
Finally seeing the person who was reciting the poem, Kazuha visibly relaxed.
"The sound that says,"
He smiles at the sight of you. "Y/n."
"We can never go back to the moment before." You continued.
Naturally, Kazuha gave his appreciation for the arts through applause.
"That was wonderful,"
"Thank you." You give a slight bow as you welcomed yourself in, and then sat beside him on the floor.
It was silent for a while, and it was Kazuha who first made conversation.
"How did you know I was here?"
"..." You scratched your arm, embarrassment taking over.
But even without answering, it seems like he already knew why. He chuckles lightly.
"You should head back."
"But I don't want to, I want to stay with you."
"...then I won't force you to."
"..."
Looking around, once you close the door...it was indeed pretty dark in here. The only light source came from the cracks of the deteriorating school window.
"I wonder why this classroom closed." You found yourself blurting out.
"They said this one was haunted."
You immediately whip your head to Kazuha's direction.
"You're joking. "
"Not in the slightest."
Faced with the ever-so-honest-looking Kazuha, you could only pursue your lips into a thin line.
"Are you afraid of ghosts?" He asks in a light tone.
"Why, not at all."
He looked like he didn't believe you at all. "And if I told you a story?"
You shook your head, cleared your throat, and instead began your quest to shake his heart.
"If you wanted to break me,
I'd tear easily as paper."
"..." Kazuha was at a loss.
"My will has vanished,
With it reason."
You had your eyes closed for dramatic effect, and you slowly opened them, meeting his pair of doe ones.
"This traitorous heart
Has fallen without a fight
I have no armour but
The love you flourished in me."
Silence.
"...I take it that you don't want me to tell you a ghost story." Kazuha finally spoke.
"Yeah, I don't." You stared blankly in front of you, at the lamp that was covered with a long white cloth.
"Today's poems were very well-thought, by the way."
"Hmm??" You leaned toward him in enthusiasm. "How about the other poems I've recited before that?"
Kazuha casually leans back a bit, putting space between the two of you.
"Of course, they're equally as good. Did you make them?"
As much as you wanted to take credit, you wanted to come off as a clean and upright person.
"Not at all." You denied, "They are penned by excellent poets such as yourself."
His lips curved up in a charming manner. "Then who made the last poem you recited?"
"....uh." Your eyes looked everywhere but him.
He wasn't forcing you to remember but you still felt pressured. "Shakespeare?" You managed to blurt out."
"Did you memorize the first few poems that came out when you googled, "Romantic poems" ?"
"..." And right at that moment, you were caught. You automatically collapsed in despair.
"Hahaha,"
"?" You look up from your kowtowing position, and saw him heartily laughing. The clear sound of that made your heart itch a little.
"Then, shall I make a haiku about you?"
"I..." You almost short-circuited. No way, he's really gonna make a haiku about you??
"I do not deserve the honor," you kowtow once again.
"It's not a big deal." He looked ahead of him, and looked like he was lost in thought for awhile.
"Your mouth is moving.
Up and down, emitting noise.
It's of interest."
"..........thanks?" Why do you feel like you've been made fun of?
Kazuha then turns to smile at you. "You're welcome."
"Why are you here, of all places?" You suddenly ask him after a while.
But as if he was already expecting the question, he answered placidly.
"In truth, this is a comfort place of mine." As he explains, a look undescribable to you was once again present on his pretty face. "It's quiet. Once I look out of the cracks on the window, I am greeted with the lush greenery of the campus' garden...even a tree branch has managed to bulldoze its way into the wall."
"But isn't sneaking in here illegal. Why don't you just go out to the garden if you like nature so much? It's less suffocating and dark there."
"People come and go in the garden. I can't be bothered to be disturbed in my relaxation."
"..." And it does feel like he's telling you to get out of his comfort space.
"I am very sorry."
"Don't be." He reached out from his pocket, and produced milk candies. "Here."
"..." You just accepted them. It's not like you're gonna eat everything.
"What do you see in me?"
"Wha-Uh-....huh?" You almost choked on air at his sudden words.
He.... He knows? But how??
"Wha-at?" You look at him with eyes as huge as saucers, and he almost laughed out loud again.
"It's just been a wonder of mine for a while. Because... I'm just a simple person. I have nothing to my name, and I regret to say I have no great ambition. I don't even know why I'm still in university. Hah."
"..."
"That is why I wanted to know why you're pursuing me. I, who isn't worth pursuing."
"If I told you, you're not going to believe it."
"Hmm. Maybe I would."
"You would?" Your voice lowered to a whisper.
Kazuha shifted so that he would be closer, fully extinguishing the personal space he once enforced. "Tell me."
"Well,
It's because I fell in love with your soul."
His long lashes trembled.
It was so cheesy.
But as cheesy as it was, it still made two of his ears visibly red.
"Love is a strong word." He says stiffly.
"And it is as strong as the feelings I have for you."
"Hmm." He looks away from the piercing gaze of your eyes.
Now his ears were not the only part that was red on him. Even his cheeks started to burn visibly.
"So, do you mind my advances?" You ask carefully.
"...if you really want to, then I suppose I don't mind." Kazuha gave you a smile different from all the other smiles he had given you.
It was a very good feeling.
Albedo
You'd never think that he had it in him to be quite honest.
"Hey there cutie,"
"..."
Yet another person who uses the word cutie. Wasn't Lisa enough.
"What're you up to?"
"If I tell you, would you really listen?"
"For you I would," You smile at him, which only made him discreetly roll his eyes.
"Yeah? Okay then. I'm working on an abstract algebra problem,"
It's not even the topic he's currently learning. He just wanted to intimidate you and make you leave.
...
What?
At first you were at a loss, but you didn't scurry away and instead stayed with him for the next three hours in the library. In the end, you actually were able to solve a few problems yourself. It didn't seem like you planned on leaving at all.
You two were only put to a rest when the librarian informed the both of you of its closing time.
Coming out of the library, you made a big stretch, then sighed.
"I didn't expect to learn a lot today." You turn to him with a light smile.
"And I didn't expect you to keep up." He was a bit regretful that he judged you too early. But was it his fault you approached him so...slime-ily??
"Well, it's because you're a good teacher..." You look at him in the eye, before your own pair curved upwards. "...Sir,"
He was honestly speechless.
"See you whenever," you wave at him before heading home.
It was a weird encounter. One that he didn't expect he'll have again sooner.
"Hi!! I didn't know we're in the same two classes,"
"?" He had to do a double take once he got a good look at your face.
"Ah, the person from the library."
"Good, I thought for a second there you've forgotten all about me,"
It literally just happened yesterday.
"Seems like fate doesn't it?" You chuckle and nudged him playfully.
"Fate, huh." He was still baffled at how he didn't find your face familiar. Not to mention the school year would already be ending in ninety days.
"By the way, are you free later?"
He stopped in his tracks and looks at you, who was matching his pace of walking. "Why?"
"Nothing, just wanted to ask you out on a d—"
"I have other important matters to attend to."
"Damn! I'm joking," you hold on to his arm to prevent him from speedwalking away from you.
"Actually, we're partners for the end of term project, didn't you hear..."
"..." How would he know. He was thinking of other things while in class earlier.
"Are you serious?" Your face fell. He blinked back at you slowly. And while you think it was pretty enticing—the way his long lashes quivered—you bit your inner cheek and dragged his ass to the nearest coffee shop to discuss the details.
Three weeks in and you were sure you two would be taking home the best score they could give to a project. With Albedo mapping out all loose ends and you executing the rest correctly, you'd say you two make a pretty productive team—and you surely don't stop yourself from letting him know!
"Another day's work done by the Albe(Y/n/n) duo," you huff as you shut down your laptop. You turn to him and give him a smile.
"Don't you think I deserve some sort of reward?"
"Reward?"
"I did almost everything today. You just proofread the report,"
"Everything you did was under my close guidance."
You chose to ignore his last words and cheekily, you point at his voluminous blonde hair.
"Let me play with it."
"Do you really think I'd agree with that?" he genuinely wants to know the answer. What did he do to make you believe in such delusions.
"Then give me a kiss for goodluck,"
"That's even worse," He packed up his own things before standing up from his chair.
"I'm going home,"
"Already??" You pout. He looks at you with eyes devoid of emotion.
"....okay, you can go."
Inwardly, Albedo was thankful that you could notice whenever his social battery ran out everytime.
And so you accompany him to the parking lot where he chained his motorbike to.
The walk to the public parking lot was silent, probably because you didn't want to annoy the guy since he's already drained from the work and your antics throughout the day.
"See you tomorrow." He says, before putting on his slick black helmet and mounting his bike.
"Wait!" You say loudly, startling him.
"..."
"Sorry... Haha," you scratch your head in embarrassment. Not wanting to make him wait any further, you quickly got on to the point.
"What if we meet up on the library tomorrow morning."
"??? We could talk in class," you know, like you two do when you sit beside each other.
"But there's something I want to tell you,"
"...okay." He almost said you can say it right here right now, but he was currently too tired to handle a deep conversation. From his quick analysis of your body language, he thought it was something that you two will take hours to process.
"Also, from a scale of 1 to 10 how attractive do you find me to be,"
"...........Are you serious right now?" Albedo was once again dumbfounded... For the nth time today.
"Quick, how attractive do you find me to be?"
"...." Seeing your determined face, he could only sigh and give in. "What do you mean by that?"
"However you interpreted it."
"... I don't think I get what you mean."
This blockhead. Did you really need to break it down and make it digestible for this man's brain. He's smart, sure, but in situations such as this...
"So you don't want to answer?" You grumble at him. "Then fine, let's switch the question. On a scale of 1 to 10 do you find me interesting"
You stayed deathly quiet on a cold cloudless night, in an empty parking lot with only the two of you looking at each other intensely.
You could almost feel your heart beating out of your ribcage.
"Ten."
That was the last thing he said before you hear the roar of his motorbike, and you were left alone with your gushy mushy feelings, mouth wide open.
That's it!! You're telling him!
The next day you arrived an hour earlier before the set meet-up time in the library. You just couldn't wait anymore, you almost puked in excitement.
To your surprise, he was already there. Even earlier than you too!
He was reading a book, sitting quietly on your usual spot in the library.
"Hey there cutie." You said in the slimiest fashion you could ever muster as you approached him.
You were expecting to hear a witty remark from him, but he was instead smiling.
"..." You almost dropped dead. Why the hell would he flash you a smile?
"You...who are you..."
Seeing your reaction, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"I was just reminded of something."
"..?"
He sighs, before standing up.
"What do you want to talk about? Here in the library, of all places..."
Oof. Too soon. You haven't even recovered from the previous shock he caused.
"Okay. So." You breathed in a lungful to muster up courage.
"So.."
"So..?" Albedo had his eyebrows slightly raised, and you noticed that the small smile he had on was still there.
"...hey, you're in an awfully very good mood today mister." You frown at him.
"Don't get distracted?"
"Whose fault do you think is it," you sigh, before continuing on with the agenda. "So um, yesterday, last night... You said I was a ten,"
"Hmmm?"
"W-When I asked you how interesting am I..." You looked away from his awfully intimidating staredown.
"I see. I remember that."
"I was just wondering if, I could ask you another question."
"Okay."
"Using the scale."
"Go ahead."
"UHM, so." You cleared your throat. "On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely are you to keep in contact with me after graduation."
"..."
For some reason, he looked surprised. But he was quick to conceal it(even though you already noticed).
"Five."
Your heart sank. "FIVE ??" that couldn't be possible? Just last night he said ten!(to a completely different question)
"Mmhm. Five."
"But why ?"
"Well of course. It's only possible to keep in contact with someone who also wants to keep in contact."
"..." You blink at him.
And he didn't look away. Just indulged in your staring and stared straight back.
"So you mean..?"
"On a scale of 1 to 10," Albedo pronounces each word clearly, "How likely are you to keep in contact with me after graduation?"
"...Five," you breathed out.
"I said five, you said five. Then that makes it?"
"A ten."
"Very good." He reached out and did the unexpected; he pinches your cheek.
"Hey—!!"
"That's for all the times you pinched my side," he smirks.

SteveTony Weekly - February 11th - Week
I’m traveling this weekend for my niece’s quinceanera so I’m sharing a list of my favorite fics that I posted on twitter last year. It’s still some of my favorite fics of all time, so this week go show them some love or send me some of YOUR favs, and I’ll be back next Sunday with our regularly scheduled weekly reading.
~*~
Open Field in Front of Him by orphan_account
Steve Rogers's football season is functionally over after a loss to Rutgers, but he finds a distraction in Tony Stark (yes, THAT Tony Stark). A college AU Stony fic.
In Trouble Deep by FestiveFerret, SirSapling
"Whoever did this has a reason, and Stark needs to be with someone who can protect him. He won’t exactly be able to protect himself like this.” Fury looked at the baby consideringly. “No, it’s you, Steve. Besides, he likes you. Suck it up, soldier, you’re stuck with him.”
The Twice-Told Tale by arysteia
For someone he'd hero-worshipped for so long, Steve Rogers in the flesh is a pretty big disappointment. For one thing, he keeps looking at Tony as though he reminds him of someone else, and even if he never says anything, Tony's pretty sure it's his father. A lifetime of not measuring up to Howard's expectations is more than enough, thank you very much, and he's certainly not going to make an effort to live up to any of Steve's. Steve's pretty clearly failed to live up to his expectations, in any case, and that's not hypocritical at all.
Bulletproof by foxxcub
At age fifteen, Steve Rogers had been in love with Tony Stark.
By age twenty, he’d (mostly) gotten over it. And then he promptly became Tony Stark's fuck buddy.
dick drunk by mistymountainking
“I’m going to fuck you stupid,” Steve says, pulling away only a fraction of an inch to say it, a promise as deep and certain as the look in his eyes, “and you’re going to take it. Aren’t you, Tony.”
Tony wants a drink. Steve gives him something else.
Sixpence In His Shoe by scifigrl47
Steve and Tony should really read the fine print on what they're signing. Then again, some mistakes are not really mistakes.
Straight on till Morning by Sineala
Tony Stark resigned his commission in Starfleet five years ago, after a disastrous away mission, and he swore he'd never go back. He just wants to be left alone to build warp engines in peace. But the universe has more in store for him than that, as he discovers when Admiral Fury comes to him with an offer he could never have expected and cannot possibly refuse: first officer and chief engineer aboard the all-new USS Avenger, a starship of Tony's own design. What's more, the Avenger's captain is Steve Rogers, hero of the Earth-Romulan War. Believed dead for over a century, Steve is miraculously alive... and very, very attractive.
But nothing is ever easy for Tony. As he wrestles with his secret desire for his new captain and his not-so-dormant fears, another mission starts to go wrong, and Tony becomes aware that Steve has secrets of his own -- and the truth could change everything.
For the Love of a Dragon by Captain_Panda
If it was between you and your dragon, who would you save?
Deep in the Heart of Me by Finely Honed (jaqen_hgar)
Veteran single dad Steve runs a tattoo shop. Pepper arranges for Tony to get that tattoo he always wanted, and he winds up with the mother of all crushes instead. Jumping out of airplanes is one thing, but love requires real courage. Steve struggles with letting someone into his life. Tony tries to keep his heart intact while Steve works on his issues.
Craving a realistic depiction of a romantic relationship featuring PTSD, mental health issues, and characters who discuss their problems? This might be for you. No magic fixes here but a happy ending is guaranteed!
Never Too Late for Love by Sineala
Steve has always believed that a soulbond is a blessing -- a rare and beautiful miracle, joining the thoughts and feelings of two people forever, from the first time they touch. Steve knows he's not going to be one of the lucky ones. He knows Gail isn't his soulmate. But he loves her, even if they're not soulmates, and he's going to do right by her. After the war's over, he's going to marry her, and they're going to settle down. They'll buy a house. They'll have children. He'll see his family again. Maybe Bucky will live next door. It's going to be a good life. He doesn't need a soulbond. He'll be fine without one.
Then Steve wakes up sixty years in the future to find that his wonderful life has moved on without him. His family is long dead. His fiancée married his best friend. And the only purpose he has left is leading the Ultimates, a misbegotten team of superheroes with flaws too numerous to count. Steve hates everything about the future -- but most of all he detests Tony, flashy and flirtatious, who embodies everything Steve hates about a world he never wanted to live in.
And, oh, yeah, Steve has a soulmate after all: Tony fucking Stark.
Toy Soldiers by copperbadge
When Steve Rogers, five foot four and a hundred and ten pounds, met Tony Stark in a bar, he didn't expect it to lead to a relationship. Or that Tony would find out he's not an art student during a SHIELD rescue mission in Afghanistan.
there are still beautiful things by meidui
The day Tony takes Steve home from the New York Army National Guard is the best day of his life.
I've got you under my skin by sirona
Five times Beijing 2008 Olympics Gold Medalist Tony Stark thinks it's going to be no more difficult a job to get ready for London 2012, than what he has just achieved. That is, of course, before Coach Fury comes to visit, and offers him a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a part of something much bigger than himself. Swimming AU.
The Foodieverse by copperbadge, scifigrl47
It's an AU where everyone works in the food industry. That makes total sense and is definitely not wildly irrational on any axis.
do you fondue? by calciseptine
Tony has done crazy things in the name of food, but falling in love with Steve Rogers really takes the cake.
Homefront by copperbadge
Steve Rogers is a capable leader, a kind and cheerful man, a good friend, a strong role model, and a loyal soldier. He's also teetering on the edge of suicide.
stress relief by romanoff
They don't love each other. They barely even like each other.
The Jar by Sineala
The Avengers are ridiculously competitive people, and what starts out as a silly late-night team discussion quickly becomes a contest: their names. Not the code names -- the nicknames. Who can go the longest without using them? They pledge to spend a week not nicknaming each other, and they'll pay up every time they mess up. This hits Tony the hardest, and not just financially. Tony's got a lot of nicknames for everyone, but most of all for Steve -- and when Tony can't use the names he's already got, the names he uses reveal feelings he had no idea he had.
Celestial Navigation by sabrecmc
Celestial Navigation: 18 year old Omega!Tony finds himself Bonded to Captain Steve Rogers. He isn't happy about it until he is.
By request, here is CN in one place without other stories and artwork.
ad astra by Areiton
The first time he kissed Tony Stark, the stars danced overhead.
