Neuvillette, Wriothesley, Kaeya, Thoma, Baizhu, Tartaglia, Itto
Neuvillette
Doesn't understand the human desire/thrill to hide a relationship, but will participate, playing his role very well. So well that you wonder if you really are going out together.
Somehow manages to graze your palm when he passes out signed documents to the Melusines, or slip you a hastily written note inviting you to dinner at a restaurant "as colleagues". You nearly burst out laughing during an important meeting with the marechaussée
Sometimes, his hairpiece falls out, and instead of putting it back on himself, he asks if you would be so kind as to help him. The Melusines are kind, but alas, too short for such a feat, there are no mirrors in sight, and you are the nearest person in the room...
When you are present during trials, he will notice you immediately. And even if he cannot always stare at the same place during the judgment, his eyes will always return to you. You have to wink or smile once, and the man must clear his throat to continue talking normally. A bad, bad person you are, playing with your man's hectic heart like that.
Wears your favourite flower as an ornament on his robes.
Permits you to make funny statements during breaks, like pointing out the uncanny resemblance between him and the otters, or that he must trip over his long robes often. Both are truthful, but not everyone is allowed to voice them. You, however, have a badge of honour slapped on your forehead: whatever Y/N says regarding Monsieur Neuvillette is fine
Wriothesley
Shows up unnanounced to "bring documents" to the Opera, knowing very well where and when you work to catch a glimpse of you.
Whenever he gives out orders to the gardes in the fortress, he will keep prolonged eye contact with you - some believe it is to establish dominance, and there's some truth to that.
You love his canines, so whenever someone makes an unfunny, nerve induced joke, he will smile widely, showing off his teeth, which is often interpreted as woflish scowling. It does not help his reputation.
If you ever spar in the Pankration Ring, he will always be nearby, personally making sure you're alright.
Talking of sparring, he takes great pleasure in fighting with you - it gives you both a chance to be up close and personal, without revealing the true nature of your relationship. Like pushing you to the ground, him on top, breathing hard into your neck. He shows off both his strength and candor, as he helps you get up, his hand lingering in yours.
Certainly has fantasies of bringing you to his office and taking you on the desk or on the couch during work hours. However, he settles on inviting you over for tea, making sure you smell like the finest tea after you get back to the surface.
Licks his lips and loosens his tie when you're around, completely nonchalant. When his eyes meet yours, you know your cheeks are warm. He sees, he senses it all, so he takes off his jacket too, playing around with the sleeves of his blouse. That's it, tonight you make him beg for it.
Kaeya
When your group is sharing a drink at Angel's Share, he leans closer put his hand on top of yours, asking to show what's in your glass. As you describe the exquisite barman's work, he glances at you, his fingers gently pinching yours.
Whenever you have a bad morning, he will take some duties off your shoulders, and shield you in front of the other knights, stating that you are a lady first and need to be treated as such, no matter if you are a knight of Favonius too.
Plans it so the bar has music playing at some point - so he can make a joke or two, and amidst the laughter and shyness of others, take you to dance.
Shows off his swordsmanship dramatically whenever you're in his field of vision.
He is known to be quite a flirt, or if you will, a charismatic extrovert, so he often puts his arm around your shoulders as a jest - but you both know it's not. Tonight, you might as well get more than a few heated kisses behind the cathedral.
Itto
Let's be honest, he wouldn't be able to hide. But he tries very hard for you.
He makes more jokes about you constantly winning the onikabuto fights. He acts hurt in public, but the grin that comes after always proves it false.
Is always jolly whenever you're around. Kuki obviously realizes something is going on. Maybe she thinks it's not mutual and that Itto is simply a lovesick guy.
You can't hide your giggling either, when the Arataki Gang's leader brings you a bouquet made of onikabuto and naku weeds. It's a friendly gesture, for sure.
He tells his gang that a certain district in Inazuma City must be protected from thieves and scoundrels at night. Why, you ask? Because he believes hat justice must reign, and you gotta start somewhere. SO why not start in the district where the beloved Y/N lives?
Shares his favourite food with you (he plays the hidden relationship so BAD you are embarassed). With chopsticks he takes a piece of fried chicken and puts it in your mouth, making fun of your expression at the same time.
You believe he misunderstood the concept of secret flirting. Apparently, for him, hiding means doing couple things but also making fun of your partner?.. In a good way, of course. Whatever. Kuki knows, and the gang are... dense. So you can continue having fun as long as you aren't woken up by the authorities knocking on your door in the middle of the night due to off-key singing at your residence's window. You KNOW that if you look outside you will see Itto playing a taiko.
Thoma
As the housekeeper and fix-it-all of the Kamisato clan, he is always running around. Sometimes it's a blessing in disguise.
No one asks where Thoma is because the answer is usually: "he's fixing the roof after last night's storm" or "he is making milk tea for his lordship because he was thirsty". Ever since he started going out with you, he disappears for only five minutes, to give you a bouquet of flowers he picked on the way and to kiss you passionately (so you can have something to look forward to later that evening).
When you are invited to the hotpot game, he usually keeps his distance, but is always very mild with ingredients he adds. He doesn’t care if the commissioner or his little sister are suffering, but your palate… yes, he’s very scared you won’t be able to taste his cooking after eating fifteen chili peppers in a row.
You both like petting animals, and this time, a group of homeless cats were lying under a small Sakura tree. Thoma will caress the same one as you – and both your fingers will touch, lightly and nearly invisibly to the naked eye. His cheeks will grow scarlet right then. You have effect on him, but he is not the main force of the housekeeping for nothing. He can withstand your charms during the day, 100%.
Baizhu
Is quite amused by the idea, so he plays the game.
Suddenly, you have more appointments at the pharmacy than before. He lets Qiqi bring your herbs, teas and ointments for whatever you have today. When you sneer and cross your arms, making it quite evident that it’s the perfect moment for him to flirt with you, he will keep a neutral face, ignoring you completely.
However, the next day, he will go to your workplace, breathless and sweaty, passing you a bag of dried herbs. “You forgot these at the pharmacy, lady” and your fingers brush and just before he turns around, he gives you the sexiest smirk.
Whenever your roads cross in public, he will invite you to hold Changsheng (to which she consented, of course). You will be pulled together by the doctor’s companion, strapping you in place. How are you going you act now that half of Liyue at the docks are seeing whatever that’s going on?
Whenever you have a real issue with your health, he will even more meticulous than with others, putting you into the backroom and offering you his services for free. He can’t have his significant other sick, not when he has so much planned for the weekend.
Tartaglia
He has to work on his flirting techniques, because the “you’re pretty, girlie” doesn’t cut it.
You go to furniture stores and cosmetics shops for fun in your free time. Of course, he will offer to pay, as everyone is aware he has the means to. But in the darkest corners, he will press his body to yours, kissing your exposed neck once and disappearing behind a shelf right after.
When your business takes you to the Northland bank, and he’s there, he will bite his lip (not at all obvious) and forget what he was talking about.
Offers to play with kids at the harbour, invites you as well. When the kids run off and hide, or chase after one another, he will steal glances and then glide his hand to your lower back – as a silent invitation to follow the children. Amidst the glee of youth, he will hug you tight, only to let you go swiftly and proudly say “whoever wins the next round gets to hug Y/N. I already did once. Now who is next?”
When he’s in Fatui mode, he doesn’t play around. If you are ever in unsafe business, he will stay close, tapping his vision, as a warning for the shady people to forget about scamming you, or touching you.
