childhood 🍬❤️

my gods.
naughty. so, so naughty.
when you first meet him, he's a spoiled brat.
never runs out of energy. runs everywhere and anywhere. taunts you. mocks you for reading books. mocks you for your 'ugly' drawing. yes, he bullies you and he's a mean gremlin. you think he's insufferable and actively try to avoid him at any cost.
but then one day, he suddenly stops coming to school and you don't see him around your neighborhood. you do, however, see his mother around. and from how gaunt she looks, even the young you know that something had happened, and that something is not good.
he comes back eventually, after about two weeks. everyone is overjoyed, except you, because you're going to get bullied again now at school, right?
wrong.
a few more weeks have passed since he's back to school. but he acts so differently, you almost think he's a different person altogether.
his blue eyes are dull, he has bandages almost all over his body and fading bruises peeking behind his shirt.
you find it weird and so you tell your parents all about it. they give you a solemn look and tell you that he's going through a rough time, so you need to be kind to him.
well, okay... but also no, thanks?
you weren't planning to abide by their words - why should you when all he's ever been to you is mean?
but then... you stumble upon him hiding on the stairway, crying and on the verge of hyperventilating.
naturally, you panic. you're about to call a teacher but you remember your favorite plushie that you're always carrying around in your bag, and in a moment of desperation, you shove the blue narwhal to him.
"i-it's okay, mr. narwhal will take care of everything!"
ajax stares at the plushie. at you. his arms tighten around the soft toy, and he nods.
the next day, to your shock, he shyly sits beside you and asks you if he can join you in reading your book.
his eyes aren't as dull anymore, you notice.
he never tells you how you've saved him that day, but he makes sure to show you how much of a treasure you are throughout your life.
a year passes by and ajax gains a younger sibling. he tells you this with a sparkle in his eyes and you think you can see the shadow of the boy who you used to despise.
but he still waits for you every morning, he still waves you over so you can join him at his table at lunch, and he still lays his head on your shoulder as he joins you on your book reading sessions.
sure, he's still a little mischievous every now and then, but now they've reduced to little harmless pranks compared to what he did before.
still, it scares you. what if one day your best friend reverts to that mean boy who would stomp all over your feelings and interests?
you ask him this with tears in your eyes and ajax is horrified.
he apologizes. hard.
he tells you how he would never do that anymore and how he regrets ever doing that at all. he buys you all your favorite ice creams and candies. he clings to you 24/7. all this even after you tell him that he's forgiven.
you slowly get used to his clinginess and your parents teases you for being practically inseparable now.
more seasons go by, and you watch as ajax grows up to become the best big brother and a promising future sports star one could ever hope to become. his younger siblings look up to him. your juniors in school look up to him. your seniors and yearmates get along with him.
really, you won't even be surprised if one day he decides that you're too uncool to hang out with him anymore. to your utmost delight, the day never comes.
but there are days where his energy levels drop, where he's a little quieter than usual, where his laugh doesn't have the same ring in it…
days like those, he seeks you out and slumps against you. no words spoken, yet no trace of awkwardness in the air. your breath syncs up, your heartbeats merge into one, and you slump back against him. simply enjoying existing.
and you realize, maybe you're just a little bit more special than others.
while you're pondering about this and are trying to sort out your feelings like the hormonal high schooler that you are, due to schoolwork and you being partnered up, you visit his room for the first time after several years.
you notice the old plushie on top of his pillow and point it out. ajax blushes, squeaks, and grabs the soft toy to hide it behind his back with a bashful expression.
it's that very moment you then realize, you've fallen in love with your best friend.
and you don't even have the time to anguish over ruining your relationship, because the next thing you know ajax is staring at you resolutely with reddened cheeks and a promise ring in his hand, loudly proclaiming how it's you, it's always been you and it'll always be you.
you tackle him before he can even finish asking you out, and as he laughs into your ears and hugs you back, you think you hear his voice waver a bit, as if he's tearing up.
"you and me against the world - just like how it's always been!"

word count. 3.7k
tw. hinted spoilers (?) in kaeyas and albedos part, mentions of fatal injuries in diluc’s part

diluc ragnvindr
About You (Friendship Lv. 4)
The Knights of Favonius… The majority of them are incompetent both in their actions and in their will. However, I do acknowledge the potential and resolve the minority of them hold. Take (Y/N) of the 8th Company for example, they’re adept at the art of Electro and channel their elemental energy into their catalyst flawlessly. Both their unparalleled combat ability and unwavering sense of justice make them potentially one, if not the only, reliable knights currently acting right now… that’s if they decide to get out of bed consistently.
More About Diluc: A Game of Chess (Friendship Lv. 5)
Angel’s Share is known for being Mondstat’s center of information. Occasionally you’ll find me working at the bar, though sometimes I simply visit in discretion. However, it’s beyond me how (Y/N) never fails to recognize me despite the perfect disguise and flawless secrecy I put forward. Despite being known for their indolence, they’re always present at the tavern and somehow insistently challenging me to a game of Chess. It’s been a long while since I played chess with anyone… yet their skills make mine look that of a Grandmaster’s. Although they may have strength almost parallel to mine, it seems their strategic thinking may use a little… haste.
Brute force and morality without thorough planning will get you nowhere… It seems that (Y/N) is acutely aware of this fact. I truly applaud them for taking matters into their own hands despite their idle disposition. However, I had never agreed to be their mentor or their chess ‘master’. Still… seeing their persistence makes it hard to decline them.
Keep reading

Oh you've heard about Kaeya being Diluc's brother, then may I add in when he dies. Maybe this could happen when the two are finally having signs of possible reconciling, however, that happened and now Diluc regrets it.
Maybe, he should've listened and try seeing things from Kaeya's perspective. Maybe, he should've reached out to Kaeya more than having a bystander (traveller) be a bridge for them to get the closure they need, but what could Diluc do when Kaeya breathe his last already and to think that he wasn't there when Kaeya stated his last wish, which was yet again an apology towards the ones he hurt the most?
pardon my french but F C K.
Diluc remembered hating how slowly it took for Mondstadt to adapt to Kaeya’s new surname. On tavern receipts and Ordo papers, in government records and general conversation; he remembered wanting to pry those letters apart, remove the name Kaeya never deserved.
Even now, years later, some people haven’t heard of the change. As the engraver etches script into stone, in the quiet of scraping granite, echoes of the recent past bubble to the surface.
The resolute severance. The immediate consequence. The feeling of freezing skin like marble falling limply to the ground, labored and burning breathing dying with the flames. An uttered plea - not to him, but to the traveler. Because he thought - he knew that Diluc wouldn’t believe him.
‘I would, I promise,’ Diluc wants to say, but even he knows that Kaeya had no reason to think that Diluc would listen. It’s not Kaeya’s fault. It never was.
Only Diluc made the errors that shattered their brotherhood into pieces; and only Diluc is left with bloodied hands, scrambling to pick up too many shards broken beyond recognition.
The engraver inscribes Kaeya’s first name, then an R. His assistant rushes to correct him, glancing nervously at Diluc, but Diluc shakes his head.
“Continue,” he says, eyes dulled and voice deceptively empty, belying the charged rush of grief within. “Ragnvindr is his name.”
