mortal x immortal (part 2)

part 1 (wanderer, albedo)

summary: you die, and he has to live with it. forever.

characters: xiao, venti, zhongli

xiao always held the thought deep inside his mind: one day, you, too, would have to depart from the world. it was there every waking moment; it tugged at him, begging him not to be in your presence for too long, pushing him to leave, to just disappear and never see you again. for whatever reason, xiao disobeyed. and look at him now.

xiao is hunched over your bloodied body. he came as soon as his name left your lips, but it's already far too late, and you know that. xiao mutters curses as he holds your hand, but you can only smile weakly in return. "sorry-" you whisper before he interrupts you. "it..." he takes a shaky breath. "it couldn't even have been old age. you... you and your stupid-" he pauses, refusing to meet your eyes. you grasp his hand in yours and softly say "xiao..." he winces and turns away, but you keep going. "i just... wanted to say," you struggle to form the words. "i'm really glad... i got to know you." a choked noise escapes from xiao's throat. it's the last thing you ever say to him.

cheerful, happy venti. he never learned, always finding new mortals to smile with and eventually grieve for. the cycle repeated over and over, and he soon became accustomed to it. numb, even. but you were different. he could feel it. for the first time in a while, he wanted to spend the rest of his existence with someone. too bad it was impossible.

even in the face of death, venti has a smile plastered on his face. he doesn't want to, no, he won't believe the scene in front of him. the blood isn't yours, and that isn't you on the ground in the middle of it. it can't be. just yesterday, you were so full of life, almost radiating light... how could that bright soul have been extinguished so quickly and easily? the archon's smile falters. there's nothing fake about your shallow breaths and sickly demeanor. it's as if he's in a trance as he makes his way to you. an unpleasant feeling washes over him when he sees the state you're in, and he pushes it down. by now, it's obvious there's nothing he can do except quietly hum a melody to soothe you both as you smile one last time.

zhongli was used to losing people. every time he got to know someone, he knew it wouldn't last very long. still, you felt as if you would be there forever, talking and laughing without a care. moments with you felt like lifetimes for him. for someone known for his wisdom, he knew he was being naïve, but it was nice believing such silly thoughts.

zhongli tries to keep his face neutral, but his eyes widen, and his lips tighten. it happened already. he thought he would have a few more years with you at the very least, but death was impatient with you. in his heart, he knows you're past the point of saving, and he can only hold your hand in his and murmur comforting words, telling you how much you mean to him. it's calming; zhongli's gentle, silky voice is just a little louder than everything else around you, and you focus entirely on it. you manage to quietly thank him before it all fades away.

no more happy it's angst time guys

mortal x immortal (part 1)

part 2 (xiao, venti, zhongli)

summary: you die, and he has to live with it. forever.

characters: wanderer, albedo

wanderer knew it from the start. he knew the outcome, and he knew how to prevent it. he knew that whatever happened, he only had himself to blame. he had been too comfortable with ignoring the inevitable, and now his self-loathing ate away at him. if he had known this relationship would end so pitifully, he would have abandoned you a long time ago, just to save you both from the pain he feels now.

it has to be a sick joke. anything that makes wanderer happy, anything that distracts him from the past has to disappear, one way or another. it's a beautifully morbid scene, one he can't bear to face yet also one he can't look away from. he wants to turn around, run away, and pretend it isn't real. wanderer wants to close his eyes until the blood and body in front of him are gone and he's back in your arms. it'll never happen, though. you're gone, and he's so painfully aware of it he wishes it had been him instead.

albedo was just happy to have met someone like you. he knew the good times would end, and one way or another, you would leave. maybe of your own volition, maybe forcibly, taken by the claws of death always looming over your human figure. he could ignore the threat of death for the time being, but the alchemist knew he would have to face it someday. he couldn't have known it would be so sudden.

albedo's breath hitches in his throat when he sees the splatters of red. as he gets closer, his worst fears are only confirmed, and he kneels down next to you. you open your mouth to explain, but his fingertips brush your forehead and he shakes his head. "it's alright." he mumbles. neither of you say anything else. albedo cradles your head as your breaths get shorter and your eyes start to close, and the last thing you see is tears falling silently down his cheeks.

I LOVE UR WRITING TT could i request ayaka and yoimiya flustered over something reader said? tysm!

ty! i'll try my best!

ayaka and yoimiya getting flustered

summary: you flirt with your girlfriend, not anticipating her reaction.

characters: kamisato ayaka, yoimiya

ayaka has never been one for romance. she became more comfortable around you after you two began dating, but you notice sometimes she's still a bit reserved. you've never really seen her blush or get shy before, and you're a little curious as to what it would be like. so, when ayaka invites you out for a walk, you know what you need to do.

ayaka waves at you, shielding her eyes from the sun. she's just wearing her usual outfit, but your eyes are still drawn to her. you smile and hurry over, and then the two of you interlock your fingers and start walking. you don't get very far, though, because suddenly, you stop in your tracks. you're feeling strangely bold, and before you can rethink it, you turn to ayaka and say "you're really pretty. and amazing." then you add "and i really like you." immediately, ayaka stops walking and looks away, trying to hide her smile. "...thank you." she replies quietly. even though her face is turned away and she's avoiding your gaze, you can see the redness on her face, and you smile to yourself. who knew your girlfriend could blush so hard? you squeeze her hand and keep walking. ayaka doesn't look you in the eyes for the rest of the day, but it was worth it.

yoimiya has always been the one to initiate everything. she was the one who asked you out, and she was the one to ask to kiss you. you want to do something for her, so you've asked her to go stargazing with you. never mind the fact that you'll end up just talking to each other instead of watching the stars. but then again, that's kind of the whole point.

you and yoimiya lay down on the grass, taking in the chilly night air and taking turns pointing out interesting patterns in the stars. she's in the middle of telling you about a cluster that looks like a firework exploding when you interrupt her, blurting out "i'm really glad i met you." she doesn't say anything, but you can almost feel her smiling. you continue, almost whispering "you're actually incredible, you know?" after a moment of silence, she tries to laugh it off, asking "what's gotten into you?" but in the dim light of the stars, you see her face has turned red and she has the most lovestruck smile ever.

when you fall asleep on his shoulder (liyue edition)

mondstadt edition

summary: feeling tired, you close your eyes for a "few seconds"... and end up falling asleep on your boyfriend.

characters: xiao, zhongli

you know the nature of xiao's work keeps him up very late, yet you still feel the need to wait for him and make sure he's safe. greeting verr goldet with a nod, you ascend the stairs to wangshu inn's balcony, your silently agreed-upon meeting place. it's strange that xiao still hasn't shown up, but then you look up and realize he's on the roof. despite his best efforts to stop you, you slowly make your way to him, and he sighs at your antics. grinning, you sit down next to the adeptus, and suddenly drowsiness hits you like a wave, forcing your eyes shut...

xiao flinches as you almost fall forward and off the roof. he grabs you at the last second and makes you lean on him, and once he's sure you're safe, he lets out the breath he's been holding. the adeptus mutters about mortals and their stupidity, but he moves closer to you regardless. he's still worried, so he wraps his arm around your waist and decides to keep it there until you eventually wake up. for now, though, xiao's perfectly content with sneaking glances at your peaceful face.

zhongli knows a variety of places to eat, but his favorite is third-round knockout in liyue harbor. that's where the two of you are now, and while you would usually be excited, you can't quite understand why your boyfriend would invite you out when it's past midnight. you didn't really have the heart to say no, so here you are, nodding off...

zhongli blinks. he'd invited you out because he hadn't seen you in a while, and he wanted to treat you to a meal. except, could he treat a sleeping person to a meal? he hadn't exactly considered the time when he invited you, and he thought you would've rejected the offer if there was something wrong. zhongli moves to sit next to you, putting his coat around your shoulders. it's more than a little big on you, and the sight makes him smile a bit. he resolves to be more considerate the next time he makes plans with you as he lowers his shoulder to make it more comfortable.

when you fall asleep on his shoulder (mondstadt edition)

liyue edition

summary: feeling tired, you close your eyes for a "few seconds"... and end up falling asleep on your boyfriend.

characters: albedo, diluc ragnvindr, kaeya alberich

you failed to take the need to sleep into account when you agreed to accompany albedo while he did his late-night experiments. now you're at his camp in dragonspine, sitting next to the warm fire and trying to stay awake. he murmurs an apology for keeping you up so late and takes a seat next to you. the scrawling of his pencil lulls you to sleep, and his soft breath makes you feel at ease. you fight back a yawn and wonder if closing your eyes would help. the sounds around you fade away...

albedo immediately relaxes. he's well aware what the change in your breathing means, and he's glad you're comfortable enough to fall asleep with him around. he drapes his jacket over your shoulders and plants a kiss on your forehead. "sleep well." he whispers, deciding to leave his experiments for tomorrow.

you're sitting on a bench outside of the dawn winery, waiting for your boyfriend to come back. diluc told you he had some "business" to take care of, but you knew what he meant. he told you about his identity as the darknight hero a while ago, and you didn't really mind. right now, you just want to see his face. in fact, you can almost see it in your mind as you close your eyes...

diluc stares into the distant trees. he had just gotten back from a mission and decided to sit down next to you, only for you to fall asleep three seconds later. he's so tense he's pretty sure he's permanently locked into this sitting position, and he's trying so hard to keep his heart rate normal that he definitely looks insane. at least, it feels like he's going insane. diluc tries to steady his breathing and match it with yours, and he calms down enough to relax his body and crack the smallest of smiles looking at your sleeping face.

sitting inside angel's share, you wait impatiently for kaeya, who promised you he'd meet you there. except, this is the third time you've had to tell someone you're waiting on your boyfriend, so no, they can't have the table, and yes, you're not lying. it's getting late, but you still believe kaeya will show up. your eyes droop, and you resist the urge to fall asleep...

kaeya finally bursts in, out of breath. "sorry, darling. jean wanted us to-" he explains why he's an hour late, and you manage a nod, even though you can barely keep your eyes open. as soon as kaeya sits down, you rest your head on his shoulder and promptly pass out, surprising him. "aw, did you miss me that much?" he asks quietly with a smirk. of course, he'll let you sleep as long as you need.

(hopefully not too ooc)

season of scarlet leaves

summary: it's kazuha's birthday! how does he decide to spend it?

character: kaedehara kazuha

after spending such a long time wandering from place to place, kazuha isn't really sure how he's supposed to spend his birthday. before, he never really considered it a special day. could he really be a cause for celebration?

the fact that it's his birthday doesn't occur to kazuha until he's been awake for a couple hours. the alcor, beidou's ship, has been docked in liyue for a while, and he's been staying in liyue harbor for the past few days. he's heard of people spending time with close friends on their birthday, but as a wandering samurai, he's never been in one place long enough to form and maintain personal connections. a sigh escapes his mouth as he looks out over the bustling city, and suddenly, your face appears in his mind. after some thought, kazuha realizes there's no one he'd rather spend time with on his birthday, and he smiles to himself before heading out to find you.

kazuha asks around for a bit before he finally sees you talking to someone in front of wanmin restaurant. upon noticing him, you quickly duck inside. oh. maybe you weren't as happy to see him as he was to see you? kazuha approaches the restaurant, about to peek inside, but you burst out, startling him. "hi! sorry, i was making you something. here, i tried my best!" you hold out... grilled tiger fish? kazuha blinks. it smells really good. "what for?" he asks. you grin. "well, i remember you said you liked grilled fish, and you wanted to try more of liyue's cuisine. plus, it's your birthday! oh, don't worry, i also got you a lot of other stuff, like a whole bunch of flowers and..." you trail off, finally noticing kazuha's lovestruck gaze. you laugh. "hey... happy birthday." you kiss him on the cheek and grab his hand. "let's do whatever you want today. im all yours." kazuha nods, and you swear you've never seen him smile so much. you spend the rest of the day by his side, and he's sure it's the best birthday he's ever had.

right before the confession

summary: they've known you for a while now, and it's finally time.

characters: xiao, kaedehara kazuha, shikanoin heizou

xiao doesn't care for mortals and their silly emotions. that is, until he meets you. suddenly, he's experiencing the very feelings he had deemed foolish and useless.

xiao arrives at the balcony of wangshu inn, but upon seeing you leaning on the railing with the most peaceful expression he's ever seen, he stays hidden. he watches you take in the crisp night air, the wind caressing your features. though he knows it's strange for him to think so, the thought crosses the adeptus's mind that you look very pretty. your eyelids are half closed, and the steady rhythm of your breath is enough to keep him in a trance. xiao stays silent, watching you for a few more minutes, trying to capture all of your beauty in one single snapshot in his memory. he's aware it's wrong of him, but who is he to disobey the pounding in his chest? then, he hears you whisper, "i wish xiao were here," and it's all he needs to step out of the shadows and finally tell you how he feels.

kazuha has always looked out for you, regardless of if you were accompanying him on a voyage at sea or simply taking a stroll in the outskirts of narukami island. the feelings developed so gradually that he isn't sure when he started thinking this way.

kazuha beams. the weather is especially good today: the sky is clear, and the wind is telling him there won't be a storm anytime soon. because of the wonderful weather, he's invited you to... well, he's not really sure himself. all kazuha knows is that he hasn't seen you in a while, and that has to change. he fidgets with the piece of paper in his hands. he's decided to reveal his feelings today, and to do that, he's written you a haiku. it's unlike kazuha to be restless, but as each second passes, he grows more and more nervous. when did he get so bold? was this actually a bad idea? would you reciprocate his feelings like he hoped? kazuha's mind is running wild, and he considers crumpling the paper and tossing it somewhere no one will ever find. maybe he could throw it in the sea the next time beidou invited him onto her ship. before he can follow through with anything, though, kazuha sees you in the distance, grinning widely and waving. this sight is enough to convince him. clutching the paper, he waves back and makes up his mind.

heizou, perceptive as ever, always picks up on the smallest of changes in your behavior. he's known about your growing feelings for him, but he could never quite pinpoint his own.

heizou has noticed the way you sneak glances at him and treat him just a little differently than you treat everyone else. he knows that everything--all the "evidence" in this "case"--points to you reciprocating his feelings, but he's never had the courage to confront you about it. it's weird and really out of character for him, and heizou's aware of this. he knows about his reputation as the flirty and confident ace detective, but even so, he can't bring himself to be honest with you. he swears his heart skips a beat when you look him in the eyes, and the confidence drains from his body as soon as you smile. finally, after weeks of being pestered by his colleagues at the detective agency and everyone around him, heizou spills everything he's been thinking. starting with exactly how he feels about you.
