#[komore teahouse party].✿

[lunaa-runee]

Just imagine, being from a minor Inuzuma clan. Doesn't have much to offer, no one really pays much attention to you or your family.

Or so you thought.

But you do end up catching someone's eye. And not just anyone, but Ayato Kamisato.

He had heard of you and your clan before, of course. You were close friends with his younger sister, he had never gotten the opportunity to meet you.

But when finally did get to meet you, he remembers it clear as day.

Ayaka had been handling an upcoming surprise party Thoma's birthday hosted at Komore teahouse. He happened to be in the city for a meeting that ended much earlier than anticipated, and he had sent Thoma to Ritou to ensure he didn't spoil the surprise Ayaka had been working so hard on for him.

He stepped into the teahouse, greeting Taroumaru. He walked further into the tea house to the room where the surprise was to be held. But upon entering the room, his eyes were not drawn to the various decorations, presents or the large cake that was sitting on the table. But instead, they were drawn to you, who happened to be struggling to hang up a banner that had "Happy birthday Thoma" written on it. Blissfully unaware that you were no longer alone.

As he watched you, he felt an unfamiliar tightness in his chest. A yearning to get closer to you.

"Would you like some help?' Ayato asked after a minute of watching you struggle.

The sound of his voice took you by surprise, resulting in your losing balance. Closing your eyes, you braced yourself for the collision with the floor.

But it never came.

Instead, you fell into a pair of strong arms. And to your absolute horror when seeing who your savior was, your heart dropped, face turning beet red. "L-lord Kamisato!"

Ayato gave his signature smirked, causing your heart to flutter. "You should really be more careful." He set you down gently on your feet, holding your forearms for a moment to ensure your were steady on your feet. "Are you alright miss....?"

Taking a step back first, you gave him your family name, bowing at the waist to show respect. "I'm fine Lord Kamisato, I am so sorry about that."

Hearing your name sparked recognition, you were Ayaka's friend. She did mention you were helping with preparations for Thoma's party. He smiled, repeating your name. "No need to apologize, I'm just happy you're alright."

It was in this moment, Ayato decided he was going to make you his.

Pt. 2 is out now

[mitsvriii]

An Arrangement

A/N: I’m hoping on the Arranged Marriage with Ayato train. This fic will have multiple parts. The reader will be referred to as _____ and not Y/n

TW’s: mentions of forced marriage

Part 2

You sat there itching your arms underneath your kimono. You had been waiting for your fiancé to show up for around ten minutes. You knew his schedule as the Yashiro Commissioner was busy, and that he wasn’t a fan of your and his arrangement but he could at least try to pretend that he cares.

Looking to your right, you could see your mother fanning herself. She seemed to be unbothered by your fiancé’s tardiness. She put her fan down and took a sip of her tea before clearing her throat.

“Do you remember your lessons?” It was a simple question but it held so much meaning.

“Yes mother”, you replied with fake earnest, “After all, that’s all I’ve learned. It would be a shame if I’d forgotten.”

Seemingly pleased with your answer, your mother took another sip of her tea before fanning herself again. Sighing to yourself you took a sip of your own tea. Your eyes brows raised in slight surprise. Komore Teahouse lived up to its expectations.

“Mother do you think we should leave?” You asked after a couple of minutes.

“And why would we do that?” Your mother’s gaze lifted to yours, her tone and look sharp.

“Lord Kamisato is fifteen minutes late, maybe it’s best if we-“

“We will wait,” there was no sign of protest in your mother’s voice,” We will wait no matter how long it takes. We need this marriage to work out.”

Nodding you looked down at your tea, by ‘we’ she meant her and her husband, your father. You knew that this was never about you, they just wanted something to gloat. Their daughter marrying the Yashiro Commissioner, it would be the small talk of all of their stuck up dinner parties and their-

“Apologies for being late, my meeting with the Kojou Clan took longer than excepted. I apologize for the late intrusion”.

You froze up, you knew that sly and rich voice from anywhere. You looked over your shoulder to see Ayato and a blonde haired man. Your eye brows furrowed, who was he? Your thoughts were interrupted when you could feel an arm tug you up.

“Not at all Lord Kamisato! It wasn’t a long wait, we could even throughly enjoy our tea.” Your mother spoke as she gave him a big smile, still gripping your arm. You gave him a look out of the corner of your eye.

‘What was in this girl’s tea?’ You thought to yourself.

A chuckle escaped Ayato, although it seemed forced. He and your mother continued talking like you were never here in the first place. You tried tugging out of her arm but the lady had a grip like steel. Your eyes looked up at the blonde who had entered with Ayato. He seemed to be looking at you with worry, noticing your mother’s grip on your arm.

“Excuse me, if you don’t mind me interrupting I could take Ms. Shinsetsuna for a tour at the rest of the tea house. Since you mentioned she liked the tea”, the blonde spoke up. And god did he have a calming voice.

Looking down at you, your mother nodded. Letting go of you she looked at the blonde.

“Of course, that way Lord Kamisato and I can discuss features of the arrangement in private.”

Nodding the blonde motioned for you to follow him to which you did in a hurry, not bothering to hide the fact that we wanted to get out of there.

When you both exited the room you immediately turned and gave the blonde a ‘thank you’.

The blonde simply smiled, “It’s not problem really. Oh right! I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Thoma, Lord Kamisato’s personal retainer”.

You nodded at his words, “I presume you know who I am then?”

Thoma also gave a nod, “Of course, Lord Kamisato has informed me of your arrangement. I’m happy to do what I must for you, since you’ll be my Lord’s mistress.

You gave him a wry smile, you didn’t want to spoil Thoma’s mood with your complaints about the arrangement. You were going to have to suck it up and hope for the best. For your sake and for Thoma’s, because honestly Ayato could suck it right now.

series: yoimix christmas event !! (๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)

pairing: thoma x reader

synopsis: someone should’ve told thoma that knitting matching heart sweaters for you and taroumaru doesn’t exactly express the massive crush he has on you.

prompt: thoma + dressing pets in festive wear

genre: fluff, f2l, idiots to lovers (once again)

wc: 2.1k

warnings: language, yn is down BADDD, childish tactics

a/n: sorry for pushing back the schedule guys :( stuff happened and apparently i’m going to hawaii

“No, no, no, (name).” Thoma waves frantically at you to stop.

You stiffen, unsure of what to do next. He places his hands over yours in a flash, guiding your movement gently. With skin warm as ever, you sigh at the contact. 

“You loop it like this, and then do that… So, y’know, it doesn’t fall apart.”

He grins at you, prompting a pointed look from you. “Are you making fun of me, Thoma?” 

You’re not sure why the two of you snuck out of the Christmas party just to knit tiny sweaters for the litter of kittens you found outside Komore Teahouse. But you’re here now, and it’s your self-appointed job to get on Thoma’s nerves in any way possible. 

The problem is that he’s the nicest man in Teyvat, and nothing you do can make him shake. It started out as a bet you made with Ayaka, but then it progressed into more of a personal challenge. However, Thoma might as well be a log of wood with the lack of emotion he greets your shenanigans with. 

So, instead of getting mad at you, he’s patiently teaching you how to knit.

“Oh dear.”

Thoma stops your hands with his again, blissfully unaware of the effect it has on you. No matter how many times you tell yourself that he’s nice to everyone, every action of his seems to have a detrimental effect on you.

“It’s like this…”

Like you give a shit about how to knit. You just want to be close enough to feel his warmth all the time. Somewhere along the way, you blurred the line between friends and something more with your stupid tactics. Now, it’s on you to figure it out. 

But it’s Thoma.

This man is so horribly perfect that even the ‘ugly’ Christmas sweaters he knitted turned out pretty. Carefully woven with a heart against a baby blue background, it’s lined with pine trees at the base and a star at the center. He even made sure of the color variations, with a red heart for him, a yellow one for you and an orange one for Taroumaru. 

“You’re not listening,” he tuts, a small smile on his face. 

You roll your eyes. “It’s hard. Not everyone is as gifted as you.”

“That’s alright,” he laughs. “You should take a break anyway. Things done tired lead to injuries and I wouldn’t want scars on your hands.”

There he goes again, caring for you more than he does for himself. The chatter of the party continues in the next room but you can only rest your eyes on Thoma, so focused on getting the sweaters right. The litter of kittens sleep peacefully in the box at the corner of the room, a watchful Taroumaru lying beside them. Peace brims in the atmosphere; you nearly forget it’s a winter night with the warmth radiating inside this room.

And yet, the lack of intimacy between you and Thoma is driving you insane. It’s so hard to remain calm with him in proximity. Either he stops being nice to everyone, or he kisses you till you can’t recall your name. You’re so touch-starved, you have to battle your brain chemistry every night.

“You know…” You smile slyly as another plan hatches in your mind. 

“Hm?”

“Ayato said he’s hosting some event soon. Isn’t he so cool to be able to find time amidst all that work? A man of the house, eh?”

Maybe talking about other men will get the fabled rise out of him. Yae novels can never go wrong. But then again, your friends are horrified by your reading taste.

Thoma laughs. “Of course he is! It takes a lot of determination to do what he does.”

“W-well… I was uh- talking to Detective Heizou! The… other day…and… do you think we could be more than friends?”

Thoma blinks, confused. Hah! Maybe you’ll finally get to see that green shade of jealousy.

“Well, you could start with a date if you’re into him.”

Of course, that shade of green is very different from the one coloring his eyes.

“No!” You blurt. “I mean, not really. I heard he’s flirty with everyone anyway…”

“Oh, that he is,” Thoma sighs before grinning at you. “I didn’t want to discourage you, that’s all.”

“Well, he’s on my mind now,” you mutter begrudgingly. “I didn’t need that image of him.”

“You’re on my mind for longer than that,” he mumbles, followed by a soft chuckle. “And you’re fine.”

Thoma keeps complicating things like this and there’s nothing more you want than to kiss him silly.

Another brilliant thought strikes. 

“Aha!” You snap your fingers, startling Thoma. 

“Uh, (name)?”

“We’re missing alcohol!” You complain, placing your hands on your hips. “What kind of a Christmas party is this?”

Thoma pauses before breaking into laughter.

“You sound more and more like a Mondstadter every day.”

You pout. “Well, you talk about it so often…”

“Don’t get me wrong,” he smiles, finishing up the last of the batch of sweaters. “I love Mondstadt but my heart lies here.”

With me? You can’t possibly say something that embarrassing out loud.

“With you…” You perk up. “...guys.”

Of fucking course.

You hold back a groan. This isn’t meant to be so frustrating. You could be saying it aloud, you could be holding him closer, you could be anything but miserable and lovesick. If you could, you’d blow on those Mondstadt dandelions and wish for Thoma’s smile against the sun. What if you love him and he loves you not?

There’s a reason you only buy cheap things—you’ll lose them or break them. As much as Thoma helps you haggle the prices in Ritou, he couldn’t possibly help you with this. You can’t keep anything, much less someone as perfect as Thoma. It’s not just the idea of rejection holding you back, it’s your own heart. 

“You’re not good with alcohol either,” you chuckle.

“Hey, don’t laugh.” Thoma pouts. “I’m sure I could down it better with some food.”

“Mhm.” You roll your eyes. You should give up now. There is no possible way in Teyvat you can make Thoma yours. Might as well make peace with it.

“Oh, fruitcake!” He declares.

“Fruitcake?” You blink.

“Yes, dear?”

You feel a rush of blood to your face. “H-huh? That- that was so stupid, Thoma!”

Thoma laughs uncontrollably, squishing your cheeks between his thumb and forefinger fondly. “Gosh, I was only kidding but you look so cute.”

“I change my mind. You’re the most horrible man in Teyvat.”

“Even though I baked fruitcake for you?” He offers a small grin. “With no fruit pieces because I know you hate fruit pieces.”

“So, it’s just a cake.”

“Well, yes… but it’s your favorite flavor!”

You shake your head, a smile fighting its way onto your face anyway. 

“Oh, and I have some dog cookies for Taroumaru,” he continues, “And milk for the cats because I don’t think they can have solid food yet.”

“And for you?”

Thoma pauses, clearly confused. “Right… Well, I don’t need much more than this for Christmas. I have a roof over my head, my friends around me, and… kittens! What more could a man ask for?”

You frown. It’s not worth getting upset over but his attitude is infuriating.

“You always look more tired than happy at these parties, Thoma,” you say. “You don’t always have to overwork yourself for everyone.”

“It’s alright,” he laughs awkwardly. “You’re having fun, right? That’s good enough.”

It seems that even if you never get on his nerves, he gets on yours. How many times has he let himself suffer just to keep you in check? He will risk his life for his friends and family—excessive loyalty is not a virtue. Even when he washed ashore with no mora or a name to him, he offered the strays his food every day. It’s irrational; and it could’ve killed him. Just thinking about it makes you unbearably angry. He’s lucky you found him. 

Then why is it that you still feel luckier of the two?

“I hate it when you do that, Thoma.”

This is why you can’t have nice things. Because you break them. 

Thoma looks genuinely remorseful, and you immediately regret saying it.

“I-…I’m sorry, (name),” he whispers. “I would never do anything to upset you.”

God, you wish you weren’t such a problem child. You wish he was meaner. You wish you’d stop falling for him every day.

“It’s like you care for me more than I do,” you mutter, upset. “I don’t know how to act.”

Thoma blinks. “I- That’s not what I…”

Placing his hand over the upper half of his face, he sighs. “It’s only half-true. You bring out the best in me, (name).”

You scoff. “You’re already the best I could ever find in a man, Thoma.”

Quick flames erupt from his ears at your comment, startling both him and you. You blink at him, his cheeks and ears as scarlet as fire, before bursting into laughter.

“You’re the same as ever,” you manage to say in between laughs. “You once set the bouquet on fire before you could give it to your crush.”

“That was way back when!” He furrows his brows. “It was a schoolboy crush and it lasted three weeks.”

“Don’t get defensive on me,” you tease. “You’re just such a clown when you’re in love.”

“Does that mean you’ll keep smiling at me?”

“Huh.” You blink. “Well, if that’s your party trick, sure.”

“(Name), I’m not sure you understand,” he breathes. “I’m erupting like this because you’re here.”

“Then would you spew fire if I kiss you?” You lean towards him, a playful lilt in your voice.

“Stop teasing me, (name),” he murmurs, leaning further into you, arms on either side. It’s hard to be mean to his puppy dog eyes and plush pout. 

Before you can think it through, you close the gap between your lips, a soft sound of surprise leaving Thoma. But your senses return before he can kiss you back, his lips chasing yours when you pull away.

“Oh!” You gasp, eyes wide as your hands fly to your mouth. “I can’t believe I just did that, oh my god. What have you done?”

“M-me?” He fumbles, cherry red. “You kissed me. Why are you shocked?”

“I didn’t think I’d actually do it!” You exclaim. “That was too impulsive for me to act normal.”

“I like it when you’re impulsive.” His fern green eyes seem to melt at your gaze, an almost pleading look laced with quiet mischief.

You bite back a smile, and he leans in to press his lips against yours. Why haven’t you done this before? You giggle into the kiss, his arms wrapping around you tighter. Christmas has never tasted sweeter.

Suddenly—

“Woof!”

You separate yourself from each other, jumping at the sound. Looking down, you found a rather angry Taroumaru glaring at you from beside the stack of kitten sweaters.

Thoma is the first to laugh. “Sorry there, buddy. I didn’t mean to make things awkward for you.”

“Awoof!”

“Oh, yeah! I’m done with the sweaters.” Thoma nods. “We’ll try them on tomorrow morning.”

You furrow your brows. “Are you… communicating?”

“No, I’m just assuming what he means.”

“Arrrrooof!”

“Okay, I have no idea what that means.”

Taroumaru leaps onto your lap, snuggling his face onto your collarbone.

Thoma knits his brows, almost offended. You don’t get to see that expression often, and you wouldn’t have expected Taroumaru to prompt it. “Oh, so you’re here to steal my (name), is it?”

“I wouldn’t mind Taroumaru stealing me,” you declare. “Isn’t that right?”

You floof up Taroumaru’s face, scratching the  back of his ears as he gives you a joyous yip.

Thoma rolls his eyes, a smile begging to take over his lips. “You’re taking it too far, (name).”

“Really now?” 

You feel warm lips press against yours again, eliciting a soft laugh from you. However, it’s cut short by Taroumaru’s angry headbutt against Thoma’s chin, a grunt of pain following as he’s pushed back. However, it’s soon replaced with laughter, the sound resonating across the room. Only Thoma could laugh so full, even on an empty stomach.

“Alright, you win.” He raises his arms in defeat. 

“We should take a family picture,” you suggest, looking around for the kamera.

“But we’re not married?” Thoma tilts his head to the side.

You smack his arm. “We don’t have to be married for one!”

“Ah, pre-marital photographs. Scandalous.”

And so, stands the pre-marital photograph of you, Thoma and Taroumaru in matching sweaters, by your dresser—you’re clutching your stomach as you laugh while Thoma’s turned red (in true Christmas spirit) trying to hold in his laughter. Taroumaru is the only one photogenic enough to make it work, his head tilted to the side and eyes closed in joy. You should’ve known then, that only the sweetest of fruitcakes could top that photograph (and Thoma’s came pretty damn close).

☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ Happy birthday, my love

HELLOOO omg it’t been so long since I posted 😞😞😞 so sorry guys i don’t have any ideas tbh.. but anyway I hope you kazuha enjoyers will love this! enjoyyy

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

it was a special day for you, your birthday. your friends threw a birthday suprise for you at komore teahouse. everyone seemed cheerful as you kept getting ‘happy birthday’s. they all were surrounding you and a vanilla cake that ayaka and thoma has made for you. ofcourse, you were very grateful for this suprise, you didnt even think you’ll get one.

but something was missing, something you truly care. your boyfriend was not there. ofcourse you love the present of your friends and you dont want to be a burden for kazuha to be there at your birthday party. but it doesn’t feel the same without him… he did write a note about your birthday, perhaps he will come this year? you were really looking forward to it.

the last 3 years, he didn’t come for your birthday aswell. he was busy fleeting with the crux. besides, you live in inazuma, wont that be a danger to him?

you didn’t want the party to start before your boyfriend gets here, buy your friends started worrying. “y/n, perhaps we should start this party now?” ayaka asked you while patting your shoulder. you shaked your head and responded “b-but maybe there’s a chance kazuha will come this year.. and i don’t want to start it before he’s here..”. ayaka and thoma gave eachother a sharing look.

it has been an hour since they waited, you eventually gave up and decided to let the party begin. “it’s okay, y/n! i’m sure kazuha will come later!” yoimiya tried to cheer you. they got into a comfortable position and sang happy birthday “happy birthday dear y/nnnn! happy birthdayy too youuu!” they all sang and cheered. you got ready to blow your candle when a voice interrupts.

“am i late?” you looked up and saw your boyfriend standing there. “kazuha!” you rushed to hug him as he hugs you both. whispers of ‘awww’s were heard but you didn’t mind at all. “happy birthday, my love” kazuha kissed your cheek. you then got back to your place with kazuha besides you. you blew the candle and everyone cheered for you. as they cheered on, kazuha kissed you on the lips and a ‘click’ was heard. you opened your eyes and noticed ayaka holding a camera.

kazuha and you chuckled and blushed a bit. everyone got a slice of vanilla cake in their hands and eat it with a cheerful smile. in the end, this was honestly the best birthday ever.

CHAPTER FOUR, shiny toy with a price.

SYNOPSIS: an encounter with your supposed "enemy" leaves you questioning his motives. a drive with your closest friend gives you insight on your new relationship, which could be your biggest break or your biggest problem.

CHARACTERS (in this chapter): ayato, diluc, kaeya, jean.

CW/TW: cussing, kaeya and diluc almost arguing (the epitome of brotherly love).

WORD COUNT: 2k words.

<- previous chapter | cruel summer masterlist | next chapter ->

it had been a few days since the incident at the party. you were honestly rather exhausted from everyone’s endless questions. the news of childe’s girlfriend cheating on him was overpowered completely by the news of you and childe dating. 

your fans were clearly ecstatic, and many fan pages had been opened for you both. you, however, were definitely not ecstatic, considering your life was taking another route entirely. 

jean and zhongli were definitely the happiest, though. maybe because they’re getting their raise soon. 

childe was doing a splendid job of adhering to the rules of the contract. in fact, you’d say he was more dedicated than you were, considering you were the one who agreed to the contract in the first place. 

he put a cheesy, romantic quote in his bio, and asked you to go on a “date” with him, so you could prove the credibility of your relationship, and get some pictures. 

you weren’t looking forward to the date, that’s for sure. for now, you just needed to rest, away from everyone who was trying to leech on you. 

although, coming to rest at komore teahouse was probably not such a good idea. 

you had just ended a meeting with a producer, and you were looking for a place to get something to drink. you entered the komore teahouse, since it was pretty popular nowadays. 

how were you supposed to know that a man you should most certainly avoid, was also there?

kamisato ayato was sitting cross-legged on the chair, sipping boba tea. you found it quite… unusual, a man whose entire atmosphere and mannerisms fell nothing short of ‘elegant’ and ‘refined’, was drinking bubble tea with sparkles in his eyes. 

you immediately covered your face, attempting to sneak by to the cashier to place your order, but lady luck was not on your side, since ayato had immediately noticed you. 

“miss y/n l/n?” he called out, and you froze. you’d barely heard his voice before, but wow, was it a soothing one. “what brings you here?” 

you forced a smile, fiddling with your fingers as you looked at ayato. “oh, ayato, right? what a pleasure to meet you. i’m here to…drink tea? i guess? what about you?” 

“same as you, haha. my manager, thoma, owns this place.” 

“your manager…owns a cafe too?” well, that was certainly new. 

you excused yourself, scurrying over to the register. you placed your order for what you guessed would take the least amount of time to make, and gleefully accepted and paid when you got it. 

attempting once more to sneak past unnoticed, and failing once more to sneak past unnoticed, you found yourself seated across ayato. 

this was sure to end badly if you weren’t careful.

"how enthralling," ayato whispered, after a few seconds of observing you, "the movies fail to capture your beauty, l/n."

"ah, thank you. you’re the new rising star of teyvat’s film industry, aren’t you?" you asked, keeping your distance. god knows what controversy would awaken if you were seen getting buddy-buddy with your "boyfriend"s rival. 

"the one and only," ayato chuckled, "i've heard a lot about you from my sister. my curiosity did not allow me to sit still, i simply had to see you in person."

you laughed awkwardly, your discomfort quite obvious in your tone. ayato was certainly a perceptive individual, so this didn't go unnoticed. 

still, it did nothing to quell his antics. 

"and i must say, i have no regrets." he narrowed his eyes, smiling. he was like a sly fox. and you thought director yae was the fox.

you had to admit, he was very attractive. you could see why he'd instantly shot to popularity, and his acting was commendable too. he was talented and gifted. 

but gods, it would be amazing if he wouldn't get so incredibly close to you right now.

"so, um, how's work?" you asked, internally praying for ajax, jean, zhongli, anyone to come and interrupt. 

"i wouldn't call it work, honestly. it's quite enjoyable to be surrounded by my fans and do what i enjoy all the time." classic response.

wish you could say the same. you loved your fans, yeah. but it was a bit tiring, when the reason people approached you nowadays was to know about the "hot scoop" of your relationship (the term "hot scoop" should be banned, honestly).

"that's nice.. haha." you replied. "um, well, i should certainly get going- "

"oh, so quick?" ayato raised a brow. "my apologies if i made you uncomfortable, haha. i tend to come off as such."

'it's okay', you thought, but said, "no, no! not at all. i'm just busy." you stood up, patting invisible dust off your clothes. 

"well, can i get your number?"

"excuse me?"

unbelievable. he's making moves on his enemy's girlfriend. 

you didn't really wanna be a card he could use against childe, so naturally, you would've declined. but...

"i won't be a bother, don't worry. it's rather lonely for me since i'm new to the film industry." he frowned a little, "still, i'm glad we spoke, though."

how, how could you say no? he's lonely. you would feel so bad. he wants a friend. 

"yeah... sure, i'll enter it." you gave in rather quick, feeling a bit remorseful for acting a tad bit stand-offish earlier.

god, he's ... incredibly two-faced. just a few minutes ago, he was eyeing you up and down suggestively, and now he was acting all cute to get your number?

it's tough being in demand.

you handed his phone back to him, and ayato grinned like the fox he was. a cute one. alright, shut up. ajax would be disappointed if he could hear your thoughts. 

you waved a quick goodbye to ayato, putting on your mask as a disguise, and immediately calling jean to ask where she was. 

"i'm being held up with something right now, y/n. would you mind if i sent eula or lisa to come and pick you up?" 

"please send anyone but eula. her driving skills are gonna get me arrested and i'm too tired right now." you replied, recalling the last time eula almost crashed the car and swore vengeance upon a tree. 

jean laughed, and replied, "yeah, yeah, i'll send lisa." before hanging up. 

you waited on the sidewalk, since that seemed preferable to you instead of talking to ayato who was inside the cafe. you took off your mask, letting out a huge breath. 

you needed to get to the studio to film a scene. the director thought the weather was splendid today, and scheduled a shooting on short notice. 

all of a sudden, a fancy car stopped in front of you. you immediately froze, your thoughts rising to kidnapping. 

the windows rolled down to show a familiar face. there he was, in all his glory, 

diluc ragnvindr. 

not who you were expecting, huh? i mean, ajax, lisa and diluc all owned fancy expensive cars. it was tough to differentiate sometimes. 

"hey, y/n." diluc smiled, which was a first for others, but pretty usual for you. "waiting for someone?" 

"nope, what brings you here?" you replied, leaning against his door. 

"i'm your chauffeur for the day, it seems." diluc opened the door for the passenger seat, and you leaned against the door. "jean sent me."

"she said she was sending lisa though?" you raised a brow, getting in. 

"it's a tuesday, which means it's spa day for lisa. i offered to pick you up instead." diluc sighed, starting the car. "to the studio?"

"ah, of course, typical lisa. yeah, to the studio." you thanked diluc, and he started driving. 

you had known diluc for years, since you went to high school with him and kaeya. he was always silent, but he was caring and reliable. he was quite the gentleman, offering you his coat, bringing you coffee, helping you study, and cautioning you from trying daring things for your own safety. he was also the one who urged you to try out acting as a career choice, and look where that had brought you.

if anything, you owed diluc quite a bit for being an important person in your life. 

"so, what's up?" you asked, leaning back, "it's been a while since we last caught up. it was when we were doing that movie together, no? god, that was years ago." 

"mhm," diluc nodded, "nothing much from my end. kaeya's gotten a modelling gig and he won't shut up about it." 

"i heard about it from childe, apparently it's for a pretty big modelling company, so kaeya's basically a celebrity now." you chuckled, remembering how badly kaeya wanted to model when he was young.

"oh yeah, speaking about childe." you noticed how diluc's expression twisted into a sour frown when he took ajax's name. "i heard you're dating him now?"

diluc had never liked childe. you didn't exactly know why, maybe it was because of childe's... rambunctious personality. or maybe because he was kaeya's best friend? you didn't really bother to ask, since you weren't a big fan of the tartaglia either.

"o-oh, um, yeah-" you stammered, preferring to completely avoid this topic. god forbid you let it slip to diluc that it was all an elaborate lie. "it just happened, i guess."

"i'm surprised, i thought you hated him?" 

"hate is a rather strong word. i just didn't like him much. he's not all that bad though." you smiled, "what about you diluc? you've never dated anyone, right?"

"no, i have not." he replied, looking away. "i did like someone, though."

you gasped, "why'd you never tell me?! i'm your friend for a damn reason, diluc!" this was news to you, and you took offence at yourself for never noticing. 

but then again, diluc was like a closed book that was wrapped and tied tightly, no one could open it. he was unreadable with his emotions, especially ones that related to love.

diluc chuckled, "i didn't realise it back then, there was too much going on in my life. besides, i deemed it pointless to like someone who wouldn't really look at me the way i look at them."

that sounds... quite poetic actually. it was surprising to hear diluc had feelings for someone, or perhaps used to. you wondered what happened, but the topic seemed to make diluc a little uncomfortable by looking at how he was sweating. so you decided not to pursue further. 

"i'm probably in no position to give you advice, y/n. but," diluc started, a bittersweet expression on his face. "our hearts are fragile and naive. they trust easily in times of desperation and convince themselves of lies to seek solace. they break and shatter, crumble and fall."

"still, our hearts are capable of healing. it takes time, don't rush. the same hearts that are naive and easily-distraught can be incredibly cunning and ruthless too." diluc breathed out, as if he’d let go of something that was on the tip of his tongue, a hefty burden on his shoulders lifted. 

"thank you, diluc." you smiled, looking at him. “i appreciate it.”

diluc gazed away from you, "be careful around childe, is what i want to say. he's quite unpredictable, and i don't want you getting hurt."

still caring for you, nonetheless. 

his car came to an abrupt stop, and a bang on your window snapped you out of your train of thought. you met eyes with kaeya, who looked ecstatic. diluc’s smile twisted into a frown of distaste. 

“you?” diluc deadpanned, glaring at kaeya, rolling his windows down. 

“sup, diluc! y/n!” kaeya grinned, getting in the car uninvited. “it’s amazing i ran into you two right now, i could really use a lift to the mondstadt modelling agency.” he threw his shopping bags onto diluc’s backseat, as if he had come from a shopping spree. 

“well?” he urged, when diluc didn’t start the car, choosing to glare at kaeya. 

“what the fuck, kaeya?” diluc said, “where the hell did you come from?” 

“well, i’m sorry i interrupted your lovey-dovey moment with y/n, but i’m getting very late for my photo shoot.” kaeya pulled out a bottle of black nail-polish. he started painting his nails nonchalantly. “start driving, dipshit.”

“what did you just call me-?!” diluc nearly jumped at kaeya, who was unfazed. you put a hand on diluc’s chest to stop him from nearly murdering his little brother. 

“just drive, ‘luc.” 

diluc obliged with no further argument.

Ch.45: In the Name of the Resistance (1/2)

After escaping from Raiden Shogun

Paimon: Wh—Why have we stopped here?

Thoma: In case you've forgotten, the Komore Teahouse is the safest place for me to hide in this area. The only thing is, I probably won't be able to leave again for some time. I'll have to leave the next steps to you guys.

Y/n: Wha- *coughed up some blood*

Aether: Y/n, don't force yourself to talk, What do you need us to do?

Thoma: Go to Tatarasuna and find the resistance. The Shogun's Army is almost certainly about to issue a warrant for our arrest. There are very few parties that will be willing to shelter us... but the resistance is an exception.

Paimon: Paimon's pretty sure Ayaka mentioned them before... Oh yeah! Sangonomiya's group! The ones who came together to fight the Vision Hunt Decree!

Thoma: That's right. The resistance was founded by Sangonomiya Kokomi, the Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island. Currently, it's her subordinate, Gorou, who leads them in their war against the Shogun's Army. However, the Yashiro Commission is not on especially close terms with the resistance. So your dealings with us would normally be frowned upon. But you're both different, so that shouldn't work against you two... As far as I can see, the resistance shouldn't have any reason to turn you both away. The only issue is that we can't be sure of the resistance forces' current location. You'll have to ask around along the way. You'll likely pass through territory occupied by the Shogun's Army at some point. So, be sure to stay on your guard at all times.

Y/n: Be sure you do the same.

Thoma: Don't worry about me, I can remain hidden when I want to. I won't make it easy for them.

Paimon: We gotta hurry up. The Tenryou Commission could be right around the corner! Let's get outta here!

Takayama: *yawn* ... I heard they added a couple more people to the wanted list. They're high-priority targets, apparently.

Ishihara: But most of our forces are out on the front line. How are we supposed to prioritize them effectively? We'll just have to make sure we keep our eyes peeled when we're out on patrol.

Takayama: *sigh* I wonder how they're faring on the front line. The last thing I heard was that we'd pushed the resistance back to just northwest of Musoujin Gorge. I don't know if that's true.

Ishihara: I doubt it. Their rearguard isn't far from there. We're gaining ground at the moment, but I don't think we've pushed them back that far. Anyway, we should focus on patrol. Come on, we're up.

Takayama: Eh, fair point... *sigh* Time to go to work.

Paimon: The northwest of Musoujin Gorge... So that's where the resistance forces are based.

Y/n: We should keep asking around, though, just to be safe.

Sakamoto: Oh, hey. You managed to escape, too?

Jiichirou: Yeah. Where are you headed?

Sakamoto: Higi Village. I've heard the rumors, but it's still gotta be a safer place than a warzone. What about you?

Jiichirou: Ugh, don't get me started. I was recuperating on Nazuchi Beach — it's complete chaos over there. The resistance isn't having an easy time of it. They don't have the manpower for an all-out confrontation, so they can't contend with the Shogun's Army. The front line used to be further forward, but they had to retreat a couple of times. Now they're back to Nazuchi Beach. That's where I've just come from — I was lucky to get out. It's much too dangerous... their forces are so scattered that no one knows who's who, and anyone you run into pulls their weapon... I just dropped my luggage and ran here. I think we need to keep moving — things are changing so fast. The further away we can get, the better.

Sakamoto: Agreed... Why don't we stick together? Can't hurt to team up with someone.

Y/n: These poor innocent people are being forced to run away to be safe since the war is too dangerous for them. And it sounds like the resistance isn't doing well either.

Paimon: Nazuchi Beach... Sounds like that's where the resistance and the Shogun's Army are battling it out right now. Let's head over and take a look.

Paimon: Hey, look! D'you think that's a resistance fighter? Looks like he's in a tight spot... Let's go help him out!

After helping the resistance member

Teppei: Phew... You guys saved me. I thought I was about to die. Thank you so much for your help, both of you. I'm Teppei of the Gobious Platoon. I'm with the resistance. I was sent to the front line just recently — I was looking forward to doing my part... Instead, it seems I fell at the first hurdle. So, uh... You guys aren't dressed like resistance fighters — have you both come here looking to sign up?

Aether: Yes.

Teppei: Great! Just the other day, I heard General Gorou complaining about how desperate we are for more people. Your guys's support will make a big difference. I'll escort you both back to our camp... But first, let me bring you guys up to speed on our current situation. As you can see, the resistance is at a constant disadvantage when it comes to open confrontation. The goal of the Shogun's Army is to uphold "eternity." To this end, they have the support of the Tenryou Commission's general, Kujou Sara, who commands an exceptionally strong force. As for us... Vision bearers are few and far between as it is, and because of the Vision Hunt Decree, they're rarer than ever. The fact we're even able to hold out is thanks to the brilliant strategic mind of Her Excellency, Sangonomiya. We're also indebted to the great courage shown by General Gorou and the resistance troops. *sigh* If only I had a vision myself... Not only would I be better placed to share Her Excellency and General Gorou's burden, but I'd be able to hold my own on the battlefield, too... I couldn't help but notice that you used elemental energy when saving me just now. You must have a vision yourselves?

Aether: I don't

Y/n: I do

Paimon: Aether's a special case! He doesn't have a vision, but he can control the elements anyway.

Teppei: Are you serious!? That's... incredible. And I guess that means he's immune to the Vision Hunt Decree? And she decides to fight the Vision Hunt Decree despite her knowing that her vision could get taken away? You have to let me introduce you both to General Gorou! He'll welcome you with open arms! Perhaps I can also make a worthy contribution, this way... Of course, I'd much rather prove my worth by the sword. If only taking down Shogunate Samurai was as easy as you make it look. Anyway, we shouldn't delay. Let's head off!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Teppei: This is what happened, General Gorou. I was surrounded by Shogunate Samurai, and they came to my rescue. He can use the elements without a vision, and she is a vision bearer! The resistance could really use people with those kinds of skills. We should bring them in!

Gorou: Hmm... *clears throat* I presume you've heard that the goal of the resistance is to defeat the Shogun's Army and repeal the Vision Hunt Decree. This is no easy task. Each who sets foot on the battlefield must be ready to sacrifice their life. Tell me, why do you both wish to join us? The resistance can not accept any who don't possess a warrior's will — you both and I must be certain of your decision.

Aether: Let me tell you about the seizure of the 100th Vision...

Gorou: You're referring to the ceremony to mark the 100th Vision seized under the decree, right? Yes, we received some news of it here, despite it taking place over in Inazuma City. There was a disturbance, allegedly... Highly unusual, considering that the Raiden Shogun appeared in person... But why do you wish to discuss this all of a sudden? Unless you have some information to share?

Y/n: It was us.

Gorou: ...What?

Paimon: Yup, we had a fight with the Raiden Shogun and everything. Then, we grabbed the Vision bearer and whisked him off to safety. After that, they added us to the army's wanted list... That's why we came here.

Gorou: Now that you mention it, we did just recover a bounty notice from a Shogunate Samurai defeated in battle. It read, "Reward for the capture of a blond-haired male, an amber eyed female, and their mysterious flying pet." Hmm... So, this refers to you three?

Paimon: What! Who are they calling a "mysterious flying pet"!?

Gorou: My apologies, I understand your situation well enough for now. On behalf of the resistance, welcome to our ranks. Her Excellency is currently away from the camp. We don't know where she went, but she instructed us to take care of everything in her absence. I will ask Teppei here to show you both around the camp first and then dispatch you straight to the front line. If you're both ready, of course.

Y/n: *has a soldier like position* You got it!

Teppei: Yes, sir. I used to be in the Logistics Division, so I'm the right person to show you two around — I know the setup like the back of my hand. I'll make sure you get a warm resistance welcome! Let's start with the field hospital. Some of my friends are recovering there. The last time I saw them, I promised that I'd introduce any new recruits. When they're finally back on the battlefield alongside us, we'll all be brothers in arms!

After showing Aether, Y/n, and Paimon around the camp and defeating an attack by the Shogun's Army

Teppei: Well, we managed to hold them off... But what would the Shogun's Army be doing here? We have sentries and patrols posted all around the perimeter here. The enemy should never have been able to reach us this far unnoticed. Unless... we have a traitor in our midst. They must have an informant feeding them intelligence and helping them to approach unseen. That's the only possible explanation. Our priority is finding the agent and protecting the camp. This is my chance to show what I'm made of!

Message-Runner: Sir, if I may... I just returned from inspecting the perimeter. It appears that several portions of our defensive walls were already collapsed. The Shogun's Army must have known about this vulnerability and made their way over from the cliffs nearby before attacking through the gaps in our defenses. I suggest we repair the walls and double the guard. That should keep them from sneaking up on us like this again.

Teppei: In that case... Understood, leave the repairs to us. We can make use of the wood and rope nearby to patch up the defenses. Why don't we make this more interesting, recruit! A contest between the two of us. Just don't underestimate me, haha! If there's anything I know, it's logistics, you'll see!

After repairing the wall

Teppei: Alright, that should do it. The Shogun's Army will have a hard time getting past this, no matter how determined they are! It seems I've made another valuable contribution to the resistance... But why does it always have to be logistics work! I thought getting transferred to the front line would be a chance to showcase my abilities and square off with the enemy. Instead, here I am doing what I've always done before.

Y/n: Why are you so insistent about being on the front line? It's a dangerous thing. You don't know when it'll be your final battle or even make it out alive.

Teppei: It's just like General Gorou said. We joined the resistance because of our warrior's will. There are a multitude of ways to contribute to the resistance, but who wouldn't want to take out a few Shogunate Samurai, given the chance? Anyway, we got more than we bargained for inspecting the camp! Let's report back to General Gorou. If all goes well, we might just be assigned a few missions closer to the action!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Teppei: Strange, I don't see General Gorou anywhere.

Kaida Ryouma: We've had a change of plans. The general has been dispatched to the front line to lead our forces into battle. The Shogun's Army is attempting an advance on the main front. Reports have it that Kujou Sara is now personally leading the enemy forces. As for us... It's been days since Her Excellency last made an appearance here. We've executed almost all the directives she gave us but have received no further instruction. The situation is becoming grim... If we retreat any further, I fear morale may falter. For now, we can only pray that General Gorou will be able to turn the tide... however difficult that may seem.

Teppei: We should go to the front line. Our forces need all the help they can get — we're no use to them here. We mustn't let Tatarasuna fall to the enemy!

Genshin Impact lets a dog enter its combat tournament, for some reason

For whatever reason, Genshin Impact allows a dog to compete in its fighting competition: anime female with deep tho's and white hair We weren't expecting to face a dog on day four of the Genshin Impact Warrior's Spirit event, which is a fighting tournament where a new opponent is revealed every day. In addition, Taroumaru, who strangely owns the Komore Teahouse in Inazuma, is not just any dog. He previously worked for the Shuumatsuban, which is effectively the Yashiro Commission's ninja division. You must engage Taroumaru in one-on-one combat because, yes, he is a ninja dog in this anime game. Taroumaru’s backstory is fascinating, considering he’s, well, a dog. And this actually isn’t the first time that he has popped up in a limited-time combat event to return to his ninja roots. The Hues of the Violet Garden event had players fighting him in Genshin Impact version 2.6. That event happened back in April 2022 and, even as a day-one player, I completely forgot about it – HoYoverse has added so much more content since then. So, I’m sure newcomers were even more confused than I was when Taroumaru showed up in Warrior’s Spirit. Once you get past the initial shock of Taroumaru facing off against you with a blade in his mouth, things get even stranger. He grows to be over double his normal size when the fight starts, and he also uses Electro attacks as if he was a Vision. Genshin Impact lets a dog enter its combat tournament, for some reason: anime dog wearing a hat and holding a blade in its mouth It’s a shame that Taroumaru will likely never become playable, but maybe we’ll be able to get a fake Taroumaru gadget as a companion, just like we did with Cloud Retainer. That is, if HoYoverse ever adds companions that don’t float. You can’t travel with Taroumaru, but the Genshin Impact version 3.4 banners are offering the chance to add Hu Tao and Yelan to your parties – two of the best characters in the entire game for the main and sub-DPS categories.

Summary : All you want to do is to give your lover a surprise but you think he’s the one who give you a surprise instead.

Pair : Shikanoin Heizou x Healer!Reader

Genre : I will let you decided what this story genre gonna be ;)

Warnings : Wounds. Mention of blood.

A/N : I almost late finishing this omg. But here I am with Heizou story on his birthday. I hope you like this one. Also fear not, there’s a lot of stories that was on the work right now. And headcanon too! So please be patient with me :)

Wc :  1k+

You watch Heizou getting ready for his mission from Ayato as you pack him some food for him. You slowly look at the calendar, and you can see Heizou’s birthday will come in 5 days. Which is exactly the same time as when Heizou done with his mission.

“I’ll see you in 5 days?” Heizou asked as he watched you walk with food for him in your hands. You nod your head before you give him a hug. Heizou smile as he hugged you back and kissed the top of your head.

“Be careful. I will wait for you.” You said before you kiss him on the lips which he happily kissed you back. He then waved his hand the one who did not hold his food and left. You decided to continue with your day as you wait for your lover to come back. And while at it, you start to plan for his surprise birthday party.

There are so many rough plans that bloom in your head as you do your daily commission. Thinking that you should probably pull Thoma and Ayaka in your plan as you know both of them are the one who know about you and Heizou first.

While on your way to Katheryne, you passed the Yae Publishing House. You decided to give a quick look to see what books they have. Your eyes glistening in excitement when you saw a bunch of riddles and crime mystery books.  Heizou immediately come to your mind when you saw those books.

You quickly ask Kuroda how much those books are, and quickly purchase those books and some novels you’ve been waiting for a while. You continue to walk to Katheryne. After you asked for your daily commission, you left and continue your day as usual.

.

.

.

Days passed and without you realizing, it’s 3 more days before Heizou come back. You decided than to take a trip to Kamisato Estate to asked for Thoma’s and Ayaka’s help. The three of you then decided to talk about Heizou’s surprise party on Komore Teahouse.

After talking to Ayaka and Thoma for a couple hours, you decided to make separate surprise party for Heizou. The first one is only with you, and the second one with his and your friends. You decided to make the second one for the next day since you know Heizou will come back at night on his birthday.

.

.

.

Now you only have 2 days left, you start to preparing for Heizou party. First you go around Inazuma city to invite Heizou’s and your friends (including Kujou Sara too). After that you went to shop some food ingredients, some party materials (i.e ordering some small fireworks from Yoimiya), and some candles. Then you decided to buy the flowers later. Once you done, you decided to call it a night.

.

.

.

As soon as you woke up, you remember that today is Heizou birthday. You then proceed to jump out of the bed and take a quick bath before you start to preparing your surprise for him.

While decorating the dining table, you can’t help but feel giddy for you can’t wait to see him after a while got separated. Without you realizing you start to day dreaming.

You let out a yelp when you accidentally cut you accidentally cut your self with a scissors when you trim the flowers you bought for the decoration. Somehow you feel something wrenching in you gut. You softly shook your head before the bad thought invading your mind more than you want to.

The night finally come, and you already finished preparing surprise for Heizou. You keep waiting for him. And finally a smile show up on your face when you hear keys dangling and the door unlocked. You quickly run to the front door.

You blinked as your smile drop. In front of you is Heizou. Your Heizou. But he looked so tired. Can be seen from how there’s no smile and how dark his eyebags are. Not to mention you see several bruises and wounds littering his body.

You quickly pull him inside and make him sit on the sofa. You quickly grab a clean cloth before you we it with warm water. Heizou watch you run around the house in silence.

“Mission was rough?” you softly asked as you clean some dried blood on his wounds. He slowly nodded his head. You frown a little before you start to use your vision to heal up the unattended wound he have.

Heizou let out a relieved sigh when he feel your vision make his body feel warmer and also ease the pain he feel from the wounds he had. A ghost smile creeping up your face when you feel Heizou rest his head on yours.

You decided to do one last examination around his body to see if there’s any wound your vision didn’t manage to heal. After you make sure that there’s no wound left you pull him to get into the bathroom and help him take a bath.

Heizou seems to enjoy the special treatment that he somehow got today. It was proven with how his smile never disappear from his handsome face. After he finish with bath, you take him to go to the dining table.

“Happy Birthday, my love.” You whispered to him. He blinked a couple times before his eyes move to the calendar on the dining room. And he saw 24th July with red hearts around it.

He let out a laugh before he picked you up and spin you around. He then carefully put you down. Warm hands cupping your face before he kissed you like it was his last kiss. You smile and circle your arms around his neck to pull his body closer.

“You surely know how to make me surprised.” He spoke in a whispered tone. You shook your head as a giggle escape from you.

“Isn’t that what YOU good at? Scaring me with body full with bruises and wounds. On your birthday too.” you answered back with a teasing tone.

“I know I know. I’m sorry. I love you.” He rubbed his nose with yours.

“No need to be sorry, love. All that important is that you are save and sound with me. I love you too.” You hug him again.

Ya want something? Peabrain will try it's best. How about a jealous SAGAU Thoma? He can't seem to bare with the fact that everyone else is having his attention which should be only his. Even when you interact with the Kamisatos he gets that sting, which is v new and surprising to him.

Consistent writing style who? I’m so sorry this took so long - I’m really bad at writing on time lol

Also! You aren’t a peabrain! Take it back :(

I decided to go a more fanatical route for Thoma this time - kinda more like Childe but with less murder lol

I hope you enjoy this! It took a while to figure out and I never got round to editing it, but I had a lot of fun writing this!

The jealousy of a patient man

Thoma is a patient man. He has to be, with a job like his - playing nice to powerful individuals he’d rather avoid altogether, gathering information for the Yashiro Commission and completing his job as the housekeeper of the Kamisato Estate. Not to mention the numerous requests he takes on; along with looking after the Kamisato siblings.

Thoma is a kind man - constantly helping anyone and everyone, regardless of status or money, but simply because he enjoys feeling helpful. He feeds the city strays everyday without fail (even when he was hiding from the Vision Hunt Decree) and plays with the children running around. He extends his help to his friends and strangers alike without expecting a thing in return; laughing off the idea of payment with a bright smile on his face.

Thoma works hard; deep cleaning the Kamisato estate and the Komore Teahouse without needing any prompting, running errands for coworkers, and running around ‘fixing’ issues despite only being the housekeeper. He protects and fights for the Yashiro Commission, for Ayaka, and for your honour - never faltering in his steadfast loyalty and burning hot passion. Thoma consistently goes above and beyond what is asked of him, not just because he craves for your attention, but also because it’s simply not in his nature to not give his all.

Truly, Thoma is the ideal man - the most virtuous, and the one with everything you could ask for in a person.

So why does your gaze wander? Why won’t you keep your gaze on him? Haven’t you seen his efforts for your favour, your affection? Has he not gone above and beyond your expectations? Why haven’t you called for him - beckoned him with your familiar warmth? Has he displeased you somehow? Is that why you won’t even spare him a glance; why you had taken him off your party?

These questions will scorch away at Thoma’s sanity, leaving nothing but the embers of his rationality, the longer you leave him off of your party - the longer you neglect him. Don’t you know it hurts him when you cast your smiling face towards others that aren’t him? When you leave him on the sidelines; stuck as an outsider while his friends and bosses happily drink in your divine presence via the Traveller? It claws at him - far more viciously than a fully grown Rifthound ever could - filling him with an ugly, dark emotion that seems more akin to hatred than jealousy. The all-consuming feeling of possessiveness and the venomous, black sludge of hatred threatens to choke him with their toxic thoughts; that everyone else is unworthy of your love, that only HE is capable of serving you. This type of feeling scares Thoma with its intensity at first; what would you think of him if you could hear the things he wants to do to his fellow acolytes? Would you disown him? But surely, if you - with your all knowing presence - already are aware of the extent of his feelings for you, you would have stopped him. Thoma finds a way to delude his overbearing feelings towards your holy figure with this line of thought; that because you haven’t stopped him, it means you accept him!

His attempts at regaining your attention and affection start to become more extreme - starting with following your party to different locations in Teyvat and observing the tasks you have them do, before doubling back and finishing the tasks faster. Don’t you see how many materials he’s gathered for you? See how fast he got them? See how in synch he is with your needs; he knows you so much better than the others! Just use him, he’ll even reward you with extra materials. If you were using Noelle to mine materials like crystal ore and noctilocous jade, expect a friendly letter in your in-game mail from Thoma - bashfully explaining how you seemed to be searching for those ores so he took the time to gather some for you. Isn’t he just the sweetest! Or perhaps you were using Fischl to hunt some fowl meat? Looks like another mail from Thoma arrived; this time with the excuse of getting a bulk purchase at the market for a huge discount.

All of this stalking and obsession over your affections is done quietly, away from the prying eyes of the other acolytes. To them, he’s the same old Thoma he’s always been - kind, hardworking and patient - which helps keep relationships amiable (with the exception of a few: e.g. Childe, Scaramouche, Albedo and the Archons) and keeps a steady flow of information about you going. It’s no surprise Thoma wraps (mostly) everyone around his finger; he is, after all, used to being discreet about his work in the Yashiro commission. He’ll work hard to regain your favour - whether through reaching higher damage dealt than your main DPS, or through the quiet gathering of materials in the background. Thoma is a patient man, and he’ll work quietly and efficiently until your loving gaze only looks at him.

characters: ayaka, thoma, yae, ei, kazuha, yoimiya, kokomi, gorou, scaramouche, itto, sara

content warning: sfw, mostly fluff, kissing

THOMA

All Thoma wants is for you to feel loved and appreciated. He would start the day out by making you a delicious breakfast in bed.

SCARAMOUCHE

Scaramouche is really bad at hiding how he feels, and would blush every time you two are seen out together. He doesn’t have much experience with dating or relationships so he would get you a bouquet of blue orchids. He isn’t very good at compliments but will try his best.

She dislikes PDA and will take you to the Tenshukaku so you can cuddle each other in private.

AYAKA

Ayaka genuinely loves spending time with you and it makes her really happy. Being introverted, her interactions with you might seem quite awkward but she genuinely does enjoy being with you.

She would also gift you a pretty hairpin she had custom made just for you.

YOIMIYA

Yoimiya would start the day out with a party and a whole fireworks display just for you. She’s incredibly talkative and would talk about how she would spend all of her days with you if she could. She really loves seeing you smile and will do as much as she can to make your day as fun as possible. At the end of the day she would give you small kisses on your cheek to show how much she cares about you.

SARA

Sara takes everything incredibly seriously including Valentine’s Day. She’s had the day planned out for a very long time and is incredibly excited to finally be able carry out her plan. She would take you to a formal dinner she had the Tenryou Commission set up specifically for the both of you. At the end of the day she would open up to you and admit how much she loves being around you and rest her head on your shoulder.

KOKOMI

Kokomi has effectively thought of every possible scenario that could occur on Valentine’s Day and is very confident that you’ll be enjoying yourself today.

Two-Part Gift

Summary: Happy birthday to Ayato from Thoma and Ayaka

Word Count: ~2.9k

Characters: lee!Ayato, ler!Thoma, ler!Ayaka

Notes: this is a tickle fic!

i really enjoyed ayato’s trailer and it also happens to be his birthday! this originally was supposed to be a thomato drabble with lee!thoma but i decided to make it lee!ayato last minute and made it more platonic so that ayaka wouldn’t have to third-wheel lol

---

Ayato hurried himself as the first few drops of rain made contact with his face, signaling the start of the rainy spring season for Inazuma. The crowds of people around him had taken notice as well and Ayato found himself side-stepping around children and hastily apologizing to others that he bumped into while heading for cover from the changing weather. The plinking of water against steel rooves steadily grew and Ayato opted to remove his coat, draping it over his head as temporary cover from the light drizzle. He hated getting his hair wet.

The road to the Kamisato Estate would most assuredly be drenched by the time he’d be able to reach the outskirts of the city and would not be ideal for travel by foot. Ayato had found this out the hard way just the other year and ended up ankle deep in mud, ruining his fine leather shoes, not that it mattered much to him, but Thoma always nagged him about looking the part of the Yashiro Commissioner. To prevent future stressful shopping trips, Ayato veered off into one of the side streets, travelling further into the city and away from his original destination.

It had been quite a while since his last visit to the Komore Teahouse, but the exterior looked pristine as ever. Ayato couldn’t help but smile at the thought of Thoma busying himself over every little detail to keep the place clean and tidy. It wouldn’t surprise him if he did catch Thoma cleaning outside in this weather, risking a cold for his job. Thankfully, he was not.

A warm glow emitted through the glass windows of the teahouse, despite being afterhours, indicating only one thing. Ayato gently opened the door and stepped inside, greeted not only by the scent of incense, but three familiar faces as well.

“Huh? Hello, milord!” Thoma eagerly waved at Ayato, balancing Taromaru on his head as the shiba happily waved his tail and whined to greet the familiar face.

“What a surprise to run into you here, Ayato,” Ayaka said, lifting a hand to wave at her brother.

“One second, I’ll go start some tea,” Thoma told the two, reaching upwards to grab at Taroumaru. “Taroumaru, c’mon boy, down you go.”

While Thoma struggled with Taroumaru, Ayato slipped his arms back into his coat as he approached the counter. “My goodness, you’re in high spirits. Thought you’d have a party without me?”

Ayaka shook her head in response. “No, actually we came here to make some plans for your birth-”

“Ahem, milady,” Thoma coughed quickly, catching Ayaka by surprise, but the damage had been done.

Ayato couldn’t help but chuckle at the slip-up. “So that’s it.”

“Ah, my apologies!” Ayaka quickly bowed her head to cover her flustered face, causing Thoma to break out into a fit of giggles as well.

“It’s quite alright,” Ayato told her, briefly placing his hand at the top of her scalp for a reassuring head pat. “Unfortunately, I actually won’t be able to make it to my own party this year.”

“What?!” The two said in unison, looking at him in shock.

“You know how work goes for me,” Ayato said with a half-hearted chuckle. He really did want to celebrate his birthday with his favorite people, but being commissioner wasn’t easy.

“But you already missed yours last year,” Ayaka sighed.

“Well, why don’t we celebrate tomorrow?” Thoma suggested. “Stores are closed right now and I’m still going to need some groceries, but if I wake up early enough, I can probably whip something up.”

“I actually need to depart tomorrow morning,” Ayato told the two, watching as both their faces dropped in disappointment for the second time that night.

“Milord..”

“Ayato, breaks are important too.”

“Come now, don’t be like that you two. We can still do something today,” Ayato said reassuringly. He’d be lying, though, if he said that he wasn’t disappointed as well. “Thoma, why don’t you brew the tea? Let’s chat about our lives. It’s been a while.”

“I-I’ll help too,” Ayaka stuttered, clearly still let down at the news.

“Don’t worry, milady, I got this!” Thoma told her as he stood up from the chair, finally setting Taroumaru on the floor. “I’ll join you the two of you in a bit!”

As Thoma busied himself in the back, Ayato followed Ayaka into one of the adjoining rooms, with Taroumaru in tow. Every time he would come back after having been gone for lengths of time, Ayaka always seemed to mature just a little bit. Despite this, though, he’d always see her as his baby sister, so he never failed to pull at his own heartstrings whenever he felt like he let Ayaka down. He’d have to make it up to her, somehow.

“Sorry, I didn’t have time to go shopping for a gift yet,” Ayaka said as she sat down by the table, Ayato taking a place beside her. “I would’ve made time had I known sooner.”

“No need to apologize,” Ayato told her, watching Thoma walk in with the tea set and brewed beverage. “The chance to see you both before then is more than enough.”

Before Ayaka could speak up again, Thoma leaned in from the other side to whisper something into her ear. Ayato watched the two, quirking an eyebrow when Ayaka started nodding to herself and giggling in response. Eventually, Thoma pulled away and started setting the table once more, but Ayato caught the sneaky glances the two gave each other as Thoma moved about.

“What are you two scheming now?”

“Nothing, nothing,” Ayaka covered her mouth as she giggled, clearly hiding something from him. “Let’s just enjoy ourselves for now.”

Ayato looked at Ayaka, then to Thoma, wary of how their moods had suddenly changed. Still, though, he’d rather have this random bout of cheeriness than the gloomy nature from before and he happily accepted the current situation as he offered to pour the two some of the freshly brewed tea. Once poured, the three gave cheers and conversed amongst each other, sharing stories from the time Ayato had been away. Although traumatizing at the time, the three laughed together when Thoma recalled how he nearly peed himself in fear when the Shogun attempted taking his vision away. There was also another time when a guest that looked almost identical to Thoma had paid the Komore Teahouse a visit and Ayaka had thought Thoma dyed his own hair red. Ayato joked that maybe they had finally found Thoma’s replacement, earning himself fierce protests from the blond.

“It’s good to have you back again, milord,” Thoma remarked contently after Ayato had finished sharing his own stories during his time away. “It’s not as fun when you’re gone.”

“I guess Ayaka is too boring for you, huh?” Ayato giggled to himself when Ayaka reacted with a playful slap to his arm. 

“I wouldn’t say that,” Thoma chuckled when Ayaka shot daggers at him from the other side. “By the way, the two of us have an early birthday present for you!”

“Oh? Ayaka, I recall you mentioning how you didn’t have enough time to go out and purchase a gift.”

“Ah, it was a last minute idea by Thoma himself,” Ayaka told her brother, avoiding eye contact with Ayato when he turned to look at her. “I’ll still go out and grab something nice for you, but this will have to suffice for now.”

“Oh, and it’s in the other room,” Thoma mentioned as he and Ayaka stood up together. 

Ayato looked up at the two smiling yet suspicious faces. He had grown up with the two, so it was plain as day to him when either of them were plotting something. Neither of them were great liars. “You guys can’t bring my gift to this room?”

“It’s, uh, fragile?” Thoma said unconvincingly, chuckling awkwardly when Ayato quirked an eyebrow at him.

Something was definitely up and Ayato instinctively grew wary, but he decided to play along for their sake. He stood up after quickly finishing his tea, and nodded at the two to lead the way, Taroumaru following right behind him.

The room across the hall was the exact same from before, with no fragile present in sight, further confirming Ayato’s suspicions that this was some kind of set up. “I don’t see anything noteworthy about this room.”

“You have to close your eyes first,” Ayaka quickly told him. “It’s a surprise.”

Ayato’s eyes shifted between the two, but gave in with a sigh. “Just don’t try anything funny.”

He closed his eyes and listened with heightened senses as the other two shifted around, giggling and whispering to themselves. When everything went quiet, Ayato held out his hands, figuring the two were waiting to give him their gift. Unbeknownst to Ayato, Thoma and Ayaka were standing directly in front of him, readying themselves to pounce as the two silently counted to three together.

“Wha-! Hey! What the-” Ayato yelped as he was pushed to the floor by the two, pinned down by their collective efforts, with Ayato at his upper-half and Ayaka sitting on his legs. Taroumaru also seemed to want to partake in the fun and wagged his tail by Ayato’s head, watching the three curiously.

“Gotcha, milord!” Thoma snickered with a triumphant grin.

Ayato scoffed and shook his head with a smile. “I normally would never fall for something like this, but went along with it anyway for you two. I’m assuming there is no present, then.”

“Yes there is!” Ayaka piped in. “Thoma, why don’t you show him.”

Ayato felt himself tense up when he felt Thoma’s hands grab at his sides, but quickly composed himself as he figured out what the “present” was. He simply gave Thoma a little smile, not from the tickling that the two had planned out, but to convey they weren’t going to break him that easily.

“Thoma, why isn’t he laughing?” Ayaka asked as Thoma attempts at tickling Ayato failed. “Thoma, I thought you said you’ve tickled him before.”

“I-I’m trying, milady,” Thoma stuttered as he tried switching methods, from squeezing his sides to tasering him. “I swear I’ve gotten him before!”

“You’ll have to try harder than that,” Ayato said with a wink, amused at the frustrated expression on Thoma’s face. Ayato even helped them out and spread his arms across the floor, giving Thoma open access to attempt at his underarms, but even that didn’t work.

“Hmm, let me help,” Ayaka said when she noticed nothing was working. Ayato stifled a grunt when he felt her small hands squeeze at his thighs, but he still managed to keep his cool, showing no signs of breaking.

Ayato had to hold back a yawn as he felt multiple hands try their best to evoke at least some kind of reaction. He could easily turn the tables on the both of them if he so chose to and Ayato knew very well how sensitive the two of them were, having tickled both of them countless times, but it was cute watching them struggle at some sort of revenge.

“Maybe I was wrong, milady,” Thoma sighed in defeat, finally stopping to turn to her. 

“Just know that I will be getting my revenge on you two la-GAH!” Ayato quickly clamped a hand over his mouth when he felt Ayaka’s nails graze over one of his knees. Despite his trousers acting as some kind of barrier, he was still able to feel a tickly shock shoot up his leg, creating a kneejerk reaction.

Thoma’s face lit up at his sudden reaction. “Wait, try that again!”

Ayato felt the same motion start up on his other leg and did his best restrain himself, but failed when a snort managed to slip past. Ayaka began skittering her nails against his knees, causing his legs to fidget, and Ayato felt himself slowly beginning to break down. “Pfft- O-Okahahahy! I’m ticklihihish!”

“Thoma, hurry! Get him again!”

Ayato gasped before dissolving into a giggly fit as Thoma brought his hands back to his sides. Now that the floodgates had been broken, it was harder for Ayato to contain his giggles and maintain a more relaxed state, feeling multiple shocks from two different parts of his body.

“We did it!” Thoma exclaimed giddily as his fingers dug into Ayato’s sides, using a mixture of gentle pinching and poking. “Smiles for the birthday boy!”

Ayato clamped both hands over his mouth as he laughed in an attempt to stifle his giggles, knowing full well how loud his laughter could get. It had been quite a while since the last time he was actually tickled and the sensations felt foreign and fresh, as if no one has tickled him before. Normally, he would be in a position to shut down any attempts from Thoma and Ayaka, but now that they had managed to get him laughing, it felt impossible for himself to recuperate.

“Ahahaha! Guhuhuhuys!” Ayato giggles continued to spill through his hands as the two switched spots. Thoma had gone back to digging his fingers into his underarms, while Ayaka started skittering her nails against his thighs again. The two spots hadn’t tickled before, but now that he was already laughing, he couldn’t stop himself.

“How does it feel have the tables turned on you?” Thoma grinned eagerly, not that Ayato would be able to see through shut eyes and his hands over his face. Since his hands were being used to cover up how embarrassing his face looked, this gave easy access to Thoma’s underarms and made sure to take advantage with swift pokes and prods.

“I think he’s almost as ticklish as you, Thoma,” Ayaka giggled as she started squeezing at Thoma’s thighs, but her words fell on deaf ears due to how focused Thoma had become.

“Tickle, tickle, Aya- er, milord,” Thoma taunted, which just seemed to make things worse as he was not used to being in a position like this.

“AH- HahaheheheHAHAHAHA!” Ayato burst out into fresh laughter at the feeling of his hips being pinched, probably the most ticklish he has felt yet. His laughter echoed throughout the room of the teahouse, drowning out the dampened pitter-patters of the falling rain outside. 

Ayato suddenly felt a hand push away at his own hands at his face, revealing his laughing face to the two. He quickly brought his hands back, but Ayato felt the other hand come back to push them back once more.

“No need to hide your smile,” Thoma said, trying to keep one hand at Ayato’s hips while he his other hand focused on keeping Ayato’s hands away from his face. One less hand tickling him eased his laughter somewhat, until Ayaka brought her hands back to his knees, this time focusing on the undersides. This was somehow worse than the tops of his kneecaps and his legs began to twitch and spasm under Ayaka, renewing his laughter.

“GAHAHAHA! HAHAHEHEHAHA!” Ayato didn’t even try to cover his face at this point as tears brimmed at the corners from his shut eyes. He had never been tickled to such lengths before, but he was somewhat thankful that it was only Ayaka and Thoma that had to see him like this.

“O-Oh?” Thoma suddenly stopped once Taroumaru started pawing at his arm, whining at the blond as he did so. “You think we should stop?”

Taroumaru seemed to understand and barked in response, wagging his tail as he walked back over to Ayato’s head and giving his face reassuring licks, causing Ayato to giggle from the unexpected sensation. Even the puppy kisses tickled.

“I guess Taroumaru knows best,” Ayaka said as she removed herself from the floor and stood up. “Sorry, Ayato. I hope we didn’t take it too far.”

“Here you go, milord.” Thoma got up from straddling Ayato and offered his hand to help the other off the floor.

Ayato wiped away the few tears that had remained and took Thoma’s hand in his own to sit up. “Well, that was certainly not a birthday present I was expecting.”

“Well, neither of us were prepared on such a short notice and Thoma had the idea of sending you off with as much smiles and laughter as possible,” Ayaka told him, her eyes glancing at Ayato apologetically. “I didn’t have anything prepared for you, so I went along with it.”

"No, I appreciate it.” Ayato stood up and smiled at the two, opening his arms for a group hug. “Even though it’s not my actual birthday, I’m still glad I got to spend it with the two of you.”

Ayaka and Thoma both beamed at how content Ayato seemed and eventually joined him in a group hug, with Taroumaru jumping up and down as if he wanted to join as well.

“Happy birthday,” Ayaka said happily.

“Yeah, happy birthday mi- Ack! Nohohoho!”

Ayaka gasped in shock but soon fell into a giggly fit with Thoma as the two were tickled by Ayato, trapped in his embrace. Ayato hummed happily to himself as he listened to their laughter, delighted with how his birthday was going so far.

“I loved my gift so much that I hope you guys don’t a mind part two.”

[kokomirin]

ayato was walking around the streets of inazuma, his boba tea in one hand, and a fan on the other. he was in a specially good mood, considering it was his birthday and it was a day off. the komore teahouse was preparing a surprise for the commissioner and asked if you could distract him from reaching while they prepared. you stood beside him while holding an empty boba cup, shaking it to ask if you and him can go and get a refill.

he pleasantly obliged, “i remember.. it's my birthday, no wonder i'm such in a good mood. no work, since i'm free! and i can order all the boba i want without the shrine maidens nagging me” he chuckled before going to that boba tea shop, asking for a whole pack of them. he must have had 12 this morning, you couldn't keep count, he sipped and made a slight tasting sound before nodding. “the taste is so familiar to me, and yet i keep wanting more.” then he looked at you.

the man smiled before uttering, “should i have a taste of your lips then? and see if i'll want more?” you slightly snorted as you sipped, the brown liquid spilling all over the fabric of your clothes, before turning your head slowly to gape at him. “what?” he chuckled once more, “i am merely joking, unless you actually want me to do that?” you shook your head frantically before he smiled, leaning in to kiss half your lips (( the other half being used to just slurp on the boba )) “hm, i might want some more later, if i can.”

your jaw dropping before you realized ayato was headed towards the komore teahouse, running after him but you were still unsuccesfull with catching up with him, the unfinished birthday party making ayato smile, once again diving into the hotpot game with thoma, ayaka, and you.
