꒱₊˚ 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐓 !! 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐁𝐓𝐒

𖠵𝟎𝟎: SWEET BABY BOY FREMINET I LOVE HIM SM.

𖠵𝟎𝟏: As we know, Freminet's quite shy; he doesn't have much experience with romance, but he tries his best !!

𖠵𝟎𝟐: He wouldn’t hear the end of it from Lyney when he first started crushing on you. . . He kept on asking and asking when he was going to confess.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Doesn’t like going out very much, but if it’s at the expense of your happiness and being with you, he’ll try and push through.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Bought you a handmade plush of Pers since you always like to cuddle the robotic one while he’s away.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Loves whenever he sees you wearing his clothes. he’d probably give you his entire closet if he could.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Has a bunch of pictures of you and him that he keeps hidden in his dressers.

keeps one on him for good luck !!

𖠵𝟎𝟕: I honestly can’t tell if he’d give you a pet name ?? It’d probably be something like “nestling,” “my love,” and “baby/bébé.” (/ Meaning he uses both the English and French ver.)

❝H—Hey bébé. . . If you aren't too busy, would-would you maybe want to accompany me to brother’s magic show tonight ?? I-I could really use your company and I know we haven't been a date in a while. . .❞

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Crafts you all kinds of trickets🫶🫶

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Brings you the prettiest stones and little things that he finds when he goes deep-diving.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Lyney “adopted” you into the family the moment you and Fremi started dating.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: He cringes whenever Lyney calls him a nickname, but he melts when you do it.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Isn’t a big fan of PDA (he’ll obvi hold your hand) but in the confines of his room, he’ll cling to you.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Will sometimes get pouty when you’re cuddled up to Pers and not him.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Doesn’t get jealous like at all, he’ll just get annoyed and nervous at most.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Didn’t pay much attention to his appearance initially, but ever since you started lovingly thumbing, kissing, and counting his freckles, it’s become his favorite thing about himself.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: I can imagine him liking his hair played with.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Silently protective over you, you know ?? Like he’ll squeeze your hand if he senses someone you’re around is dangerous or unnerving. Or if he wants to leave and doesn’t want interrupt your conversation.

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Strangely warm !! He isn’t sure why you enjoy hugging him so much, but never complains, hehe.

𖠵𝟏𝟗: Likes to be both the big and little spoon !! If a day comes where he’s just exceptionally tired, he’ll want to be the little spoon. But if he wants to feel like the bigger person or you need comforting, he’ll be the big spoon.

꒱₊˚ 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐄𝐘 !! 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀

𖠵𝟎𝟎: I’M 1000% COMPLETELY NORMAL ABOUT THIS MAN, I PROMISE 🤐🤐🙏🙏

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Lyney, as we know him, is very incredibly playful and can be very charming !! He uses this to his advantage.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Was obsessed with you before you started dating and is still obsessed with you now 😭

𖠵𝟎𝟑: The complete opposite of Freminet. He will not shut up about you to his siblings. . . (Sometimes he might mention you to “father.”)

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Wants nothing but for you to be safe and protected. (Bonus points if it’s in his arms.)

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Going back to the Knave, Lyney might share the relationship you two have with her but won’t give any explicit details about who you are as a means to protect you.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: “Darling,” “gorgeous,” “lovebug/bug,” “my (love)/mi (amour),” “my sweet,” and “sweetheart/chérie.”

❝Thank you so much for coming to today’s show, my love! It always fills me with so much energy seeing you in the seats, staring up at me. . . I ought to put together a show just for you, hm? How does this Friday sound?❞

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Loves to tease you !!

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Does not like waking up in the mornings, especially when you’re lying in bed with him.

loves to hide his face in your neck whenever he’s lying with you.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Loves PDA. He cannot give a single fuck if you guys are in public. If anything, he’s proud to show his love for you to everyone.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Can sometimes be unintentionally flirty with other people without realizing it. Don’t get it twisted, though; he’s incredibly loyal to you.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Many people (of all genders) find him very charming, and as much as that might sting you, Lyney always finds a way to bring you into the conversation to dismiss their advances.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Can be a little feisty sometimes. Examples are: biting your lower lip when he’s kissing you, biting your ear and nibbling on your neck in public, and placing his hand dangerously close to your thigh.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Uses incredibly cheesy pickup lines and one-liners.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: If someone is continuously making advances towards you, then he’ll get jealous.

he’ll walk over to you, put a hand on your waist and act overly affectionate towards you hoping it’ll drive the person away.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Seems innocent (enough), but if he sees you’re upset by someone’s actions, he’ll flip that fatui switch on immediately just to see you smile again.

sometimes asks Lynette and/or Freminet to comfort you while he’s taking care of the person.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: Surprises you by showing up in the most unexpected places in your house.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Hates being away from you for long ): That’s the main reason why he hates arguments between you two.

𖠵𝟏𝟖: (↑) Although he lowkey can be petty sometimes. . .

𖠵𝟏𝟗: His hands are really soft !! Sometimes you’ll gently caress them, and he’ll literally melt on the spot.

𖠵𝟐𝟎: Also one who loves to see you in his clothes !! 𖠵𝟐𝟏: Really wants to have matching outfits with you. 🫶

𖠵𝟐𝟐: Loves whenever you dress yourself up !! He just adores seeing all sides of you.

𖠵𝟐𝟑: You have a whole bouquet of rainbow roses from the amount of times he’s randomly pulled one out and gave it to you. . .

꒱₊˚ 𝐍𝐄𝐔𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄 !! 𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐉𝐔𝐃𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

𖠵𝟎𝟏: The most gentleman to ever gentleman, I believe ?!?!

idk man, it’s something with the dragon guys in Teyvat. . .

𖠵𝟎𝟐: I’d like to believe that when he started liking you, the Melusines caught on, because he seemed to always be lost in thought. . . 🤭

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Despite him being absolutely stunning and incredibly smart, he somehow felt like he didn’t have a chance with you. . .

the Melusines and Furina were not having any of that !! they devised a plan where she talked to you, and they talked to him. it all worked out in the end.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Being in love with a busy man has its pros and cons, obviously; Neuvillette always tries his best to balance them out. ☹️☹️

𖠵𝟎𝟓: You guys tried to keep your relationship hidden for as long as you could with how Fontaine loves its drama. . .

and when you it got out (guess how), rumors, whispers everything spread like a wildfire. it was incredibly overwhelming for you, and he tried his best to quiet everyone down and comfort you 😞☹️ you can imagine the weather. . .

𖠵𝟎𝟔: (↑) Some people were muttering how you didn’t deserve him or weren’t “pretty enough” for him, which really pissed him off, but he had to remain civil (for the most part, lolz.)

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Your emotions have an incredible impact on him ?!?! If you start crying or if you’re sad, it’ll domino effect onto him. He loves you so much that it physically hurts him to see you distraught.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: All the Melusines adore you !! They absolutely see you as their other parental figure since you guys started dating.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: (↑) MELTS whenever he sees you interacting with kids. . .

𖠵𝟏𝟎: “Cherie/sweetheart,” “honey,” “my (dear/dearest)” and “my (love)/mi amour.”

❝I’m home, mon chéri. . . I must apologize for coming home later than usual—an issue in the case I’m looking into has presented itself and I went to personally deal with it. Hm, what was that, love? Ah, what was the ‘issue?’ Don’t worry about it, my dear. What matters is that it’s been dealt with. Now, have you had dinner yet?❞

𖠵𝟏𝟏: His trust in you runs pretty deep, so he trusts you when others are flirting with you. However, when people aren’t leaving you alone or are masking their interest behind innocent actions, he’ll get pissed.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: God forbid anyone lays their hands on you. . . Neuvillette doesn’t take people hurting you lightly at all.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: (↑) He isn’t a big fan of people touching what’s his in general, but he knows he (unfortunately) can’t have you all to himself. . .

𖠵𝟏𝟒: (↑) Safe to say, he’s quite territorial. . . He is a dragon, after all. They are quite protective over their treasure..

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Wrio likes to bring you up in conversations over tea !!

𖠵𝟏𝟔: This man has always been head over heels for you. Whenever you two are shopping together, he’ll follow you around like a puppy—always insisting that he holds your bags and pays.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Pretty gentle with you. . . The farthest thing he wants is to hurt you, but sometimes his primal instincts kick in and he can’t help but want to mark what’s his !!

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Spoils the hell out of you. He literally can’t help it. He’ll see something that he’ll think you’ll like or something that reminds him of you and gets it without another thought.

𖠵𝟏𝟗: Really doesn’t like that you can tell his mood based of whether or not it’s raining. . . He hates worrying you.

𖠵𝟐𝟎: Furina loves to ask about you !! She thinks you two are so cute together.

𖠵𝟐𝟏: Loves whenever you visit him in his office while he’s working !! He’ll always try and persuade you to stay with him while he works—coaxing you to sit on his lap and such.

𖠵𝟐𝟐: He’s still relatively new to understanding human emotions, so he really appreciates you being patient and helping him out.

𖠵𝟐𝟑: Whenever you’re mad at him or giving the silent treatment, he’ll just look at you with the most saddest eyes ever. Guarantee heavy downfalls until you two make up 💔

꒱₊˚ 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐘 !! 𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐘

𖠵𝟎𝟎: Literally the almost perfect definition of my type 😭

𖠵𝟎𝟏: He’s smart, cocky, and hot. You’re in for a wild ride with this one 💔👍

𖠵��𝟐: Secretly a deep-rooted hopeless romantic at heart, he just hasn’t had the time to explore that part of him because of his duties in the fortress.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Like Neuvillette, this man is head over heels for you. It’s just that he’s better at hiding it (most times, anyway.)

𖠵𝟎𝟒: A big teaser !! He loves to get under your skin.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Can and will protect you at any cost. He loves you so much, it’d kill him inside if something were to happen to you.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: A bit of a sadist, I think. . . He’ll watch you struggle for a bit before actually helping you with something.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Before you two started dating, Sigewinne kept on insisting he confess to you because of how obvious it was.

Clorinde also gave him shit for it.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: “Baby/babe,” “doll,” “my (darling),” “my (dear),” “my (love/lovely),” “pretty/my boy/girl,” and “sweetheart.”

❝Oh? I wasn’t expecting you to stop by for a visit today, doll—not that I’m complaining, of course. . . Lucky for you, I just finished up all my paperwork for the day, so I’m all yours ~ Wait, what? What do you mean you’re only here to deliver more papers? Please tell me you’re joking, babe. . . Archons sake, please at least stay for tea. I haven’t seen you since this morning.❞

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Roughly smells like freshly brewed tea with a mix of his cologne—it’s a rather comforting smell, actually.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Hates whenever you’re gone too long above ground. He gets grouchy (more so than usual) whenever he hasn’t seen you for a certain amount of time.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Surprisingly like a sloth when you two aren’t at work. . . He loves clings to you, doesn’t matter what you’re doing or where you’re at.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: I’d like to think he doesn’t give a shit about what people normally think of him, so he’ll love you on wherever and whenever.

loves to rub his cheeks/stubble against yours despite your whining !! i’m weak

𖠵𝟏𝟑: One of his favorite things about the two of you is your size difference. He finds it adorable his hand can comfortably envelope yours and somehow perfectly fit around your throat. . .

𖠵𝟏𝟒: A waist holder !! He loves to have a hand on your waist one way or another. Whether it be him pressed against you from behind or simply just a hand on your waist while you’re standing next to each other.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Protective and possessive !! Not too much to the point where it’s toxic, I think. He’s just very territorial, and does not like when people get too close to you. He always denies he doesn’t get jealous, but he isn’t fooling anyone.

he doesn’t want your future to repeat his past, so he tries desperately to protect you from those kinds of people.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: (↑) All for marking you in obvious places if he sees this is a frequent thing. . . He’s far from shy with it, as well.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Always prepares an extra cup of tea for you just in case you were to stop by his office.

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Nearly suffocates you if you’re in bed facing him—he’ll smoosh your head against his chest so you don’t have a chance to leave.

𖠵𝟏𝟗: People were genuinely shocked when they found he was dating someone !! Some didn’t believe you until Wrio proved them wrong.

𖠵𝟐𝟎: Is a mixture between gentle and rough with you. . . He doesn’t want to accidentally hurt you or you know, break you.

𖠵𝟐𝟏: He claims he’d be fine if you two broke up but in reality, he’d be a complete mess. (Sigewinne knows this without a doubt.)

𖠵𝟐𝟐: (↑) Pouts whenever you spend too much time with her and not enough with him </3 He can be a literal manbaby sometimes.

𖠵𝟐𝟑: Literally doesn’t know what to do with himself whenever you ignore him or give him the silent treatment.

goes to Clorinde for help if he’s really stuck. which may or may not be proven helpful depending on her mood. . .

𖠵𝟐𝟒: Adores whenever you’re resting on top his chest !! He always says that’s where you belong, lol.

𖠵𝟐𝟓: (↑) Also likes it when you rest on his lap when he’s sorting out paperwork. He claims you “give him the energy needed to make it through the day.”

𖠵𝟐𝟔: The one for you if you have a praise kink and the one for you if you have a degrading kink !! Two birds with one stone, amirite ?? kill me

SONG: Fallen Down ― VGR, CG5

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯2023 !! #©LOVELYNEY

YOU FLINCHED BITTERLY as you finished off your last Withering Zone for the day—one of the disciples of dismay hitting your upper arm before it fully deteriorated. And since you were dealing with this one by yourself, you’d have to wait until you got back to Gandhara ville to treat it. Wincing in pain, you pressed your hand against the wound and hoped you’d be able to hide until you (semi) safely returned to your house in the ville. The farthest thing you wanted to do at the time was alert Collei and Tighnari, not with how fatigued you were.  

As you reached the village, you exhaled a sigh of relief—the sounds of laughter dampening your already bitter mood. Typically, you wouldn’t complain about such a positive thing, but as of late, your mental energy has drained unusually fast, and seeing people live so carelessly when you can’t is a very bittersweet thing.

“(NAME)! You’re back!” Collei hollered and ran over to you, a soft smile gracing her lips as you came in her line of sight. “How’d everything go? You didn’t get hurt, right?”  

You pressed your palm harder against your arm, hoping the blood that threatened to seep out wasn’t noticeable. “I’m fine, Collei. Everything went well! I’m just a little tired. . .” You assured, your voice breaking from your exhaustion. 

Her eyes softened. “I—I see! I’m glad to hear that. Go ahead and get some rest; I—I’ll tell master Tighnari you’ve returned.”

You smiled feebly, “thanks so much, Collei. I appreciate it.” Bidding the girl a quick goodbye, you strode into your small house, your body about ready to collapse. 

You walked into the bathroom and grabbed the necessary supplies to care for the laceration. Your medical knowledge was limited, but luckily, Tighnari gave you an entire lecture on how to cater to different kinds of wounds when you had gotten yourself injured in the forest alone. Gingerly pulling your sleeves up, you tried to tear your eyes away from all the scars that littered your skin. Whenever you looked at your self-injuries, they reminded you how terrible you felt about yourself. People always say scars are evidence that you’re strong, but all yours did was make you feel weak. You wanted to confidently say that you’re passed that part of your life, but truthfully, you started to feel yourself slip back into it. You haven’t mentioned it to anyone, fearing they’re going to label you as  “crazy” or simply just water down your feelings to “being dramatic.”

A familiar voice rang out and dragged you back to reality; “(NAME)? Are you in here? Collei told me you weren’t feeling well, so I came to personally see how you’re doing.”

You hurriedly finished up the bandages on your arm. “Coming!” you replied, leaving the bathroom and almost stumbling over your feet from how fast you moved. “H—hi, Tighnari! I’m alright, really. I’m just really tired,” you greeted, your shoulders tense from the ranger’s sudden visit.

Tighnari’s ears and nose twitched as he surveyed your expression. “I smell rubbing alcohol. You’re injured, aren’t you?” He asked curtly, his eyebrows furrowing.

You swallowed thickly, knowing it was far from possible to hide anything from Tighnari. You faltered, “[sighs]. Y—yes. . . But it’s nothing, really! One of the dismays just hit me before the zone fully dispersed.” Hearing your voice out loud made you want to shrink and hide.

Shaking his head dismissively, he stepped closer to you. “(NAME), I’m not worried about how well you performed I’m worried about you. Let me see the—”

“Nono! That—that won’t be necessary. I, um, already treated it. S—so, it’s fine now!” You blurted, your face burning with fear. You hadn’t shown anyone your self-harm scars, and you feared what he’d think of you if he did see them. You swallowed the lump in your throat and continued talking. “Y—you don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine, really. . .”

Tighnari’s ears lowered as he stared you down with a melancholy gaze. The biting fear in your (COLOR) eyes and voice had nearly caused his heart to jump out of his ribcage. He could clearly tell something was wrong, but he didn’t want to push his luck.

“[sighs]. Alright, I’ll trust your word. . . But if anything’s bothering you, physically or mentally, please don’t hesitate to come find me, alright? I really don’t mind taking care of you, (NAME).” Confided the ranger, softening his voice to ease a little of your apprehension.

Letting out a quiet breath of relief, you flopped down on your bed, your mattress bringing you some much-needed comfort. “Mhm. Thanks, Tighnari. . .” you muttered, your voice monotonous from your lack of energy.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. It felt wrong to leave you alone when you clearly weren’t well, but maybe all you needed was some quality sleep. “Alright, I’ll leave you to rest. Sleep well, rosebud.” He spoke before leaving quietly, making sure to close the door behind him. 

Through your bitter emotions, you brightened up a little at the nickname he’d given you. “Rosebud, huh. . .” you thought and closed your eyes, mind weighing heavy with uneasiness for an unknown cause. 

“Will I ever have a chance to fully blossom?” 

You hugged your pillow tighter against your body as sunlight enveloped your room through your flowered curtains. It seemed your hypothesis from yesterday was correct; you were spiraling downwards back into your depression, judging by your lack of unwillingness to get up despite sleeping like a log the entire night.

Fluttering open your (COLOR) eyes, you peered up at your ceiling with a distant look. You doubted anyone came in to check on you; you didn’t consider yourself to be of significance to them. So it was natural they didn’t care, right?

Being alone with your intrusive thoughts with nothing else but the sound of the wind was excruciating—torture even. Whereas no matter what you did to try and move, the shackles that restrained you didn’t budge. Though you remembered how careless you’ve been with the withering zones and thought you maybe deserved to be alone—to feel the crushing weight of everything you thought you did wrong. 

Tears clouded in your eyes and fell down as the thoughts multiplied. And with each one, the light in your eyes that once rivaled the sun dulled to rival the twilight that washed over teyvat during the night.

KNOCK. KNOCK

“(NAME). . .? Are—are you feeling alright? You haven’t left your room at all today. . .” Collei’s warm voice asked on the other side of the door.

You jolted up and frantically rubbed your eyes, hoping to rid the evidence that showed you’d been crying. “Y—yeah, I’m in here! Sorry, I ended up oversleeping. . . Do you need me for something?” You answered and tossed your legs over the side of your bed.

She shook her head, “no no! Um, Tighnari specifically told me that you should spend today getting all the rest you need. So you oversleeping is not an issue at all!” Her eyes followed down to your injury. “H—how’s your arm feeling?”

You winced as you remembered yesterday’s events. You murmured, “ah, an—about that. . . I’m sorry for hiding it from you. I—I didn’t want you to worry.” 

Collei offered you an apologetic smile. “Please don’t apologize! I—I’m just glad you treated it. . .” she reassured. Her smile fell when she regarded your puffy eyes and wet cheeks. “(NAME). . . Are—are you sure you’re feeling okay? You look so drained. . . You know you can always come to master Tighnari or me if anything’s bothering you, r—right?” Worried the trainee. 

“She’s lying to make you feel better. Nobody actually cares about you.”

“All you do is make things worse. You’re nothing but a burden to everyone around you.”

Biting back another tsunami of tears, you cleared your throat and compelled a weak smile. “I appreciate that, Collei. But I promise I’m alright! I just, um, need to lay down for a bit more. . .” you said feebly. “Way to go; you made it sound like you’re trying to get rid of her. Now she’s sure to hate you.”

She nodded understandingly, her expression warm and gentle. She insisted, “t—that’s perfectly fine, (NAME)! I’ll leave so you can rest, b—but please come get someone if you feel the need to!” 

You watched her leave with a sigh, your gaze lingering on your bedside drawer. “I should at least change clothes. . .” You uttered and picked out some comfier-looking clothes to throw on. As you dressed, your eyes continued to fixate on one of your drawers. “Well, what’re you waiting for? Go on, do it.” You fell on your bed and tightly shut your eyes, mustering up all your strength to ignore your thoughts. 

Meanwhile, Collei strutted up to Tighnari and tapped his shoulder, the nervous feeling in her stomach increasing. “H—hey master Tighnari. . . Are you busy right now? T—there’s something I want to talk to you about.” She hesitated, her eyes fleeting back to your house every now and then.

The fennec’s ears wiggled as he turned around, immediately noticing her anxious countenance. “No, I’m not. What’s wrong? Is it about (NAME)?” He inquired. He wasn’t certain why you were the first thing that came to mind; maybe because he was already so worried about you. Seing her nod, Tighnari’s stomach flipped upside down. “They’re. . . they’re not doing well, are they?”  

Collei’s eyes glossed over with tears as she shook her head. “I’m worried about them, Master. . . Like really worried. They kept pressing they were okay, but the look in their eyes felt so. . . numb and impassive,” she explained.

Tighnari stressfully sighed as he tried to think of the best way to confront the situation without hurting you. He didn’t want to press you to say anything you weren’t comfortable with, but he also didn’t want you going through this alone. “Alright. Collei, could you take my place in this week’s outings? Normally I would have you watch over them, but I’d rather take care of them myself in this particular case. . .” Requested the boy, his ears drooping as his heart hammered against his chest. Her statement about you having a numb look in your eyes gravely worried him.

“Of course! Do you want me to go tell the others?” 

He nodded, “that’d be great. . . Thanks a lot, Collei.”

Your back pushed against the wall as your head dropped further into your hands. You don’t know why you thought sleeping would magically fix everything. It didn’t help that you felt incredibly abandoned, despite being surrounded by people. People who, deep down inside, you knew cared and would help you without a doubt if you were to just ask. But each time you even considered asking for help, a mocking voice would belittle you for even thinking someone loved you. After hearing it so many times, you think you’d be able to successfully ignore it, but no. Instead, it dragged you farther down inside the grave you put yourself in. And the worse part was that there was no one around to help pull you back up, making the desire to give up increasingly stronger.

“Then why don’t you do it? It’s not like anyone here would care anyways.” A distorted, yet incredibly familiar, voice whispered in your ear.

Lifting your head up to look up, your entire body stiffened as you saw what looked like a hazy deformity of Tighnari. Even though you knew it wasn’t actually him, your mentality was shattered, and so was your sense of reality, so it got into your head with a snap of a finger; what worsened it was that it sounded exactly like him. You closed your eyes and covered your ears, striving to slow your rapid heart rate and clear your mind. “Go away. . .” you thought, fingernails digging into your skin. 

“Why don’t you give up and make everyone’s job easier? You know you aren’t wanted here. Your only chance at being useful is to just rid yourself, so you’re not in everybody’s way.”

Shakily forcing yourself up, you staggered into the kitchen—feeling like the only way to quiet your thoughts was to harm yourself. You promised yourself you wouldn’t put yourself through this again, but you’d instead do that than cave into your thoughts. 

Somehow, you clung to the last drop of hope that lingered inside your head—the hope that desperately called, “hang on just a little longer, and I promise everything’s going to be okay; YOU’RE going to be okay.”

Tighnari ambled to your front door, ears pressed tightly against his head as he knocked. “(NAME)? Can I come in? If you’re feeling well enough to talk, there’s something I’d like to ask. . .” He called gently. His ears flicked up and picked up the sound of your crying. Throat tightening, he knocked again, this time more urgently, hating every second wasted by not being with you. “(NAME), if you don’t open this door, I will find another way in! Let me help you, please!” Shouted the ranger, trying desperately to turn the doorknob. “Fuck this. No way in hell am I leaving them alone in there.” he thought before lock-picking your window and sliding inside.

“(NAME)!” he yelled as he raced inside the kitchen, finding you with a kitchen knife in your hands—blood dripping down your arms and covering the tip of the blade. It felt like a life or death situation as he stepped closer, never once taking his eyes off you. You looked so fragile as if you could completely break at one wrong action or word. “(NAME). . . Please, put—put the knife down.” Tighnari pleaded and bit his lip, trying his best to keep it together for your sake. “I’m here now. You don’t have to bear through this alone any longer. . .”

Your head suddenly fell silent at the sound of his concerned and hopeless tone—a prominent distinction from the one your hallucination had given him. Your strength left your body, and you dropped the knife, tears flooding your (COLOR) eyes and falling down endlessly.

The second the knife hit the floor, Tighnari rushed to your side and dragged you into an embrace, letting you cry into his shoulder. His hand firmly held the back of your head as he rocked you back and forth, terrified you’d drop dead at any moment. He murmured, “it’s okay, rosebud. . . I’m here now. Nothing can hurt you. . .” His turquoise eyes fell to the floor, giving the knife a sharp kick, sending it skating across the floor. Feeling you latch onto his hoodie, he pulled you tighter against him, careful not to hit your bloodied arms. 

Every bottled-up emotion you had exploded just like that—each and every self-destructive thought twisted into a heavy sob. And with each one, your knees caved further and further in til’ you couldn’t stand upright. 

Tighnari was quick to catch you before your body hit the floor, his arms soon finding their way around you again. He stayed quiet, however, pressing small pecks to your forehead to show you that he was there—that he cared. He hadn’t heard such gut-wrenching sobs in all his life, and to hear it from you, his favorite person, made him want to cry. 

After a few minutes, your cries quieted to sniffles, and eventually, you had utterly enfeebled yourself. Tighnari showed a faint smile, “alright, rosebud. I’m going to carry you to my house so I can properly care for your wounds. Close your eyes and rest for a while, okay? I can see how tired you are. . . I’ll be right with you when you first wake, I promise.”

You gave a weak nod and leaned your head against his chest, finally deciding to give your mind and body a proper rest. 

You stirred awake, head throbbing and memories blurred, to the sensation of someone gently patting your face with a cold washcloth. “Hmmn. . .” you muttered groggily, your eyes refusing to open.

“You’re awake. . . How’re you feeling?” Tighnari asked from beside you and set the cloth down, his gaze now fully fixed on you. “Do you need/want anything?”

Your breath hitched as you recalled what happened. Looking down, you noticed your arms, both sore, were neatly swathed in bandages. “I—I feel so numb. I’m—I’m so sorry, Tighnari. . .”

He shook his head and handed you a cup of a calming tea he had put together. “Rosebud, please. You have no reason to apologize. I should be the one saying sorry. I felt something was off with you and brushed it off.” He lamented, carefully caressing your cheek and brushing away the tears in your eyes. “You don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to, okay? Just know that you’re safe here—both from the outside and yourself. Nothing’s happening to you under my watch.”

You took a trembling breath as you sipped the tea. The intensity of his love made you feel small as he stared at you. “I’m sorry I never told you of my past with this. . . I promised myself I wouldn’t do it again, but everything got so loud—my thoughts, the world, everything. It hurt so much, Tighnari. . . So much that it manifested a hallucination of you. I—I was so scared and so alone. I tried so hard to cry for help, but it was like I lost my ability to talk. . .” You described.

Tighnari’s large ears twitched slightly as he carefully listened to every word you expressed, ensuring he understood everything before offering input. As he pondered what to say, his eyes dropped to your bandaged arms. The idea you’ve already gone through this process alone made him sick.

He mused, “(NAME) it’s your story to tell, not mine. In no way am I mad at you for not telling me of this sooner. . . I’m proud of you for speaking about it even now, given it’s something you’d rather not reminisce about. . .”

“I can tell by looking at you that you’ve been through so much. I know you might think otherwise, but you’re so strong. Despite going through hell and back, you remain incredibly empathetic and caring. Do you know how impressive that is?   

“I can guarantee you that whatever bullshit your mind fed these last three days is only food for your depression; that’s it. I can’t stress enough how much everyone here adores you—including me. rosebud, you’re so incredibly beautiful, from the inside and out. The way you flourish and flower is something I wish I could see every day. The thought of you wilting, let alone by your own hands, terrifies me. Archons, (NAME), you might not see it, but you’re perfect in every way.”

Tighnari finished and kissed the pads of your fingers, watching as your eyes glazed over with tears.

Each word echoed in your head until your mentality began to heal. You hadn’t realized how badly you needed to feel someone’s arms around you until he pulled you in his and kissed away the tears that fell from your (COLOR) eyes. 

You rested your head against his chest, racking through your brain to try and think of something to say. “What—what did you mean when you said you adored me. . .?” You mumbled. “Really (NAME)? That’s what you come up with?” 

Tighnari laughed warmly as his fingers smoothed your (COLOR) hair. “Is that what’s gotten you so quiet? Well, rosebud, I mean exactly what I say. I adore you. Collei always tells me how obvious my feelings for you are, but I didn’t want to rush anything between us, especially with how you’re feeling now. But I have an inkling that the reason why your depression chose me to manifest is because you feel the same. . .” He cooed.

You fell silent as thoughts swarmed your mind, none of which proved helpful in your situation. “Come on, (NAME)! Say something!” you thought and bit your lip. “Y—you might be right. . .” you replied quietly, slipping your fingers into his.

Tighnari smiled and pressed his lips to the back of your hand. “That so? Good, because I took the rest of the week off to look after you, and you’re going to stay at my house for that time.”

“That’s fine with me, but where am I going to sleep? I—I don’t want to kick you off your bed. . .” You wondered.

He chuckled, tail wrapping around your waist comfortably. “You’re sleeping with me, silly. That way, I can keep an eye on you and make sure you’re sleeping alright. Judging by the circles under your eyes, you’ve been struggling. . .” He hummed and started to rub circles on your side. “I already moved most of your things here while you slept; do you have anything that helps you sleep better at night? I’m going to have you drink a calming tea beforehand, but do you have a certain routine you need to do?”

You smiled a genuine smile, his calming and caring demeanor soothing your doubts. “No. . . I think having you by my side will be enough. . . Thank you, Tighnari. I—I appreciate it so much.”

“Oh, (NAME). . . You don’t have to thank me in the slightest. I’d do this 10 times over if you asked. I’d do just about anything for you. . .”

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯2023 !! #©LOVELYNEY

ALBEDO SAT AT HIS DESK, pen resting between his fingers as he scribbled down some notes from his latest experiment. After meeting the others, he wanted to take some time to himself—the silence bringing him some sense of tranquility.

A soft knock on the door burst the silence like a balloon. “Come in, but please watch your step.” Albedo forewarned, gaze primarily focused on the various papers littered on his desk.

Sucrose walked in, quietly shutting the door behind her. “Um, my—my apologies if I’m interrupting something important, mister Albedo. I just found something that I think you might be interested in,” she said. 

He raised an eyebrow, his interest piquing. “Oh? Does it have to do with that paper you’re holding?”

She slid the flyer she held over to him, a confident look in her eyes. “The Knights of Favonius are holding a ball for Windblume this year! I—I know you don’t really prefer social gatherings, but I remembered you mentioned something about wanting to take (NAME) out somewhere. . . So, I figured this was something you could consider.” She acknowledged.

The gentle tapping of his pen against the desk stopped at the mention of you; you were a popular baker amongst Monstandt and one of a few of Albedo’s close friends. He met you when Klee dragged him to your bakery one day and found himself enchanted with how you carried yourself.

The alchemist skimmed through the flyer’s contents while remaining deep in thought. He couldn’t help but smile at the idea of dancing with you—one of the many things he’s dreamed of doing with you.

His fingers drummed his desk as he sighed; “as much as I would love to take (NAME) to this. I am. . . unaware how she feels about these kinds of events herself.”

Sucrose nodded and held back a giggle, not used to her mentor being so love-stricken. “I considered that as well. . . I believe Timaeus is asking his crush to go with him! So it wouldn’t hurt to ask! I know how long you’ve been wanting to confess to her. . .” The girl encouraged.

A shiver crawled up Albedo’s spine at the contemplation of confessing. There was nothing more he wanted than to be with you romantically, but aside from the notes he documented, he didn’t know a thing about pursuing that kind of relationship. What if he screws it up and hurts you in the process? The thought alone made him want to throw up. But then again, Sucrose proved a point; he wouldn’t know without trying.

He exhaled slowly, “alright, I’ll go and find her when I’m finished up here. Thanks, Sucrose.”

She nodded excitedly. “n—no problem! I’m pretty sure she closes at six today. . . Good luck, mister Albedo!”

The rest of the day seemed to fly by without Albedo noticing. with thoughts of you engraved in his head and his research, he never bothered to peek outside his window or check the time.

After locking up the lab for the day, he peered up at the city’s clock, eyes widening when the time read 6:02. “Was I really working for so long? She should still be cleaning up. . . Hopefully, I’m not too late.” He thought and headed to the bakery. When he reached there, he breathed a sigh of relief at seeing you wiping down the counters.

The sound of the doors opening caused your head to turn. “‘Bedo? What brings you here at this time?” You wondered.

He smiled, “hello, (NAME). My apologies for coming in rather late, but I was hoping I could ask something of you.”

Your lips pressed together as you nodded timidly. You weren’t sure what you could offer him since your guys’ jobs were completely different. “Oh! Of course, what is it?” 

Albedo pulled out the flyer and handed it to you. “The Knights of Favonius are holding a dance for this Windblume. . . If you wouldn’t mind, I would like you to accompany me to it,” he requested blatantly.

You blinked in astonishment, the heat of a volcano suddenly soaking you. “A—Accompany you to the dance? Um. . . are—are you sure you’d want me too?” You doubted, voice hushed. It’s not like you didn’t want to go—far from it, actually.

He tilted his head, carefully studying your expression. “I don’t see why not? Is there perhaps something I’m missing in terms of bringing someone along? Or do you not want to come?” Stewed the alchemist.

Your eyes dilated, feeling your heart sink to the bottom of your stomach at his tone; you’ve never heard him sound so deflated. “Nonono! Of course, I’ll go with you! It’s just that I thought you’d want to bring someone a bit more. . . closer to you.” You interjected and fidgeted with your fingers underneath the table. “I cannot believe I just said that. . . I probably sounded so desperate.”

He quietly sighed in relief, sapphire irises picking up your nervous habits. “Well, (NAME). . . Statistically speaking, I consider you the closest person to me in all of Monstandt,” he laughed heartily.

Oh.

“So shall I see you there?” He asked and tucked the flyer in his jacket pocket, eagerly awaiting your response.

Letting out a quiet breath, you wiped your palms against your pants. “Y—Yeah! I’ll be there. . .” you muttered, the sound of your heartbeat plugging your ears.

Albedo grinned, lightly holding your waist and laying a soft kiss on your forehead. “That’s my girl. . . I’ll see you then. Until then, love.”

“Albedo asked you to the ball? (NAME) That’s adorable!” Amber beamed from the opposite side of the table. 

“Haven’t you had a crush on him for months now? why are you so on edge about going?” Eula piped in and swished her drink around before sipping it.

Blood promptly rushed to your face as you frantically looked around town. “Shushshush! He could be around here, you know!” You spluttered and slapped your hands over your face, embarassed.

Eula and Amber were both good friends of yours and knew of both your anxiety and massive crush on Albedo. With the dance closing in, you asked them to meet you at Good Hunter in hopes of them offering some kind of advice.

You clarified, “it’s not him that worries me, Eula. I’m scared I’m going to get overwhelmed with how many people will be there.”

The outrider’s expression slightly withered, but she nodded sympathetically. “Oh, I see. . . Is there a reason you haven’t mentioned anything about it to him?”

You propped your chin on your palms and sighed; “I don’t think so. . . Albedo is really kind and patient with me, so I don’t think he’d make fun of me for it. It’s simply that what if he finds me a nuisance and doesn’t want to go with me anymore?”

Eula scoffed with a roll of her amber eyes. “If he mentions anything even remotely similar to that, he won’t live to see another day.” She threatened and flashed you a smile. 

Amber smacked her shoulder. “Eula! (NAME), from what I’ve heard, Albedo rarely even makes small talk with people. . . So for him to ask you to the ball, he must trust and care about you a lot! And if it’s any consolation, Eula and I will be there, so we’ll make sure to check on you!” She assured.

The corners of your lips tugged into a half smile, your friends’ words bringing down your anxiety a little. “Thank you, guys. . . I really appreciate it.” You said. “Except there’s one more problem. . .”

“And what might that be...?”

“I have nothing to wear. . .”

After what felt like an eternity of shopping, you finally settled on a white and puffy gown. You rarely dolled yourself up, but Amber and Eula insisted that you go all out for this occasion—with Amber declaring, “we have to secure your chances of Albedo falling in love with you!” You had no clue where she got that idea from. Still, it was nice to think about. . .

“You’re going to look so pretty, (NAME)! I guarantee all eyes will be on you!” Squealed the brunette as you three stepped out of the incredibly costly dress shop.

Eula nodded and ruffled your hair. “I second that. if Albedo won’t dance with you, then I sure as hell will,” she affirmed.

“Oh? Out shopping, are you, (NAME)?” A familiar voice said from behind.

You nearly fainted when you turned and saw Albedo standing there, a smile gracing his lips. “A—Albedo? I wasn’t expecting to see you out here. . .” You commented, your voice growing significantly smaller and quieter.

Amber giggled and stood in front of you so he couldn’t get a glimpse of what was inside your bag. “No, no! You’re not allowed to see yet, Albedo! No peeking!” She gushed.

The alchemist crossed his arms, finding your sudden coyness nothing short of amusing. “Is that so. . . How cute, no wonder (NAME) has turned so shy. . .” He expressed, glacial irises observing you delicately.

As if gasoline coursed through your veins, and he lit the match, your skin engulfed in warmth. “Did he just call me cute? Did I hear that correctly? Barbatos, please give me the strength not to pass out right now. . .”

Eula huffed and pressed you forward. “Yes, yes, we know. She’s cute. Now, come on, (NAME). . . Don’t you know it’s bad luck to see your bride before the day of the wedding?” She teased.

“BRIDE?! E—EULA!”

Albedo chuckled as he watched the spindrift knight drag you away, your face rivaling the color of a ripe apple. “Hopefully, one day, (NAME). . .” he murmured.

Attempting to focus had never been so difficult. . . While Amber excitedly talked to Eula, all you could concentrate on was the excessively deafening music that echoed through the room—well, that and your racing heartbeat. You couldn’t tell if it was because of the crowded room or because it longed to see your date. 

“What if he forgot and I came here for no reason?” You panicked internally and rhythmically tapped your heels against the marble floor, fingers absentmindedly fumbling with the pair of white gloves which adorned them. Truthfully, the ball had barely started yet, so you didn’t really know why you felt so doubtful. 

A small figure wrapped around your legs, forcing you out of your withered thoughts. You looked down, only to smile when you recognized a familiar tuff of light-blonde hair. “Oh! Hello there, Klee!” You smiled and crouched down, letting the girl properly wrap her arms around you.

“Big sis! Klee’s so happy you’re here! Your dress is super pretty!” She bubbled and pulled away, the twinkle in her eyes challenging the stars in the night sky.

You giggled, your worries briefly melting away at the girl’s excitement. “And your braids are super cute!~ Who did them?”

“That would be me. . .”

Startled by the familiar voice, your eyes flew up to confirm who it was. Your heart nearly jumped out of your chest when you saw Albedo dressed in a well-fitted white dress shirt, light blue vest and tie, and black dress pants.

He simpered—his cyan irises sizing you up. “I’m very rarely taken aback, but wow. . . You far exceeded my expectations, (NAME). Your glow far passes the moonlight as if it’s but a cheap imitation of you.” He voiced and helped you to your feet, his lips igniting multiple sparks where they lay on your wrist.

You opened your mouth to speak, only for the words to fizz away on your tongue. Did he drink some kind of potion before coming here? Was this the same Albedo you knew? You couldn’t be too sure. . .

“You’re going to have to forgive her. . . She’s a little starstruck!” Amber disputed and wrapped one of her hands around your arm, giving it a comforting squeeze. “Look at you, Klee! You look so pretty!”

The small elf giggled, her small hand enveloping her brother’s. “Thank you, miss Amber! Oh! Oh! Doesn’t (NAME) look like a princess from a fairytale, Albedo? Klee thinks she looks super pretty!” She bubbled and tugged excitedly on his sleeve.

“Oho, so Klee already approves of you guys? Look at you go, (NAME). I told you you had nothing to worry about!” teased Eula as she walked over, grinning cheekily at you. “She wouldn’t stop talking about you on the way here, Albedo.”

“EULA?!” you screeched and hid behind your other friend. You know, the one who didn’t rat you out. 

Despite your impulsive embarrassment, Albedo bit his lip and chuckled softly, amused by it. He cooed, “really now? I suppose I can only hope her lips are as sweet as she is.” He then walked up to you, grabbing your arm and pulling you closer to him so he could see you. “You know, (NAME). . . Klee’s not wrong, now is she? You certainly do look like a princess straight from a fairy tale. . . You fit that role quite flawlessly.”  

You shuffled through your brain for something to say, struggling with how countless thoughts spilled over. Looking away coyly, you spoke barely above a whisper, “would that make you my prince then. . .?”

Adoration glazed over his eyes, oh how he wished you would look at him; he adored your pretty (COLOR) eyes. “Hm? That depends. . . Would you like me to be? I would be more than honored to have you as my princess.” He crooned.

Eula crossed her arms, staring intently at his hand on your arm. “And this princess is irreplaceable. . . So you’d better handle her as if she’s the most treasured glass statue in all of Teyvat,” she quipped sharply.

Albedo nodded and offered a tranquil smile. “Eula, if we were to play with the idea of fragile pieces of art, then I must admit—(NAME) is more akin to a statue crafted entirely out of the purest diamond as her value is boundless. I believe it was once said that diamond was a symbol of eternal love. I will ensure she’s treated as such.” Reassured the alchemist, his fingers smoothing circles on your wrist.

Amber looked over at you, laughing sympathetically as you kept your lips tightly pressed together. “Alright, let’s give these two some alone time, Eula. . . You come too, Klee!” She butted and beckoned the two to follow behind her. “I’ll come back to check on you, alright, (NICKNAME)? You’ve got this!”

Albedo tilted his head curiously, worry casting over his eyes. He wondered, “hm? Why does she need to check on you? Are you by chance feeling anxious or something of the sort?”

Almost resigned to his accuracy, you let out a sigh, dreading how he could get it so right from just one sentence. You felt vulnerable yet comforted that he could grasp you so effortlessly. “Only a little. . . I tend to get a little overwhelmed in crowded places. I’ll be alright, though!” You informed.

He frowned and pressed his lips to your pulse point. “And you still agreed to accompany me here? Your compassion shows no bounds, (NAME). . . I do wish you would’ve mentioned this earlier; I could’ve created a potion that could help numb those types of feelings. Regardless, make sure to take deep breaths to help ground yourself. I promise you wholeheartedly that I’ll take care of you.” He consoled, voice as smooth as the silk he adorned in that night.

As he finished speaking, a pair of voices shouted for him. “Albedoo ~ Over here!” Venti crowed and waved his hands like a maniac, most likely already intoxicated.

With an exasperated sigh, Albedo kissed your jaw, his heart fluttering when you let out a short laugh. He lamented, “I can never get some time alone with you these days. . . Let me go see what they want, and I’ll be right back, alright, princess?”

“Mhm! I’ll be over here if you need me,” you replied and watched him leave your peripheral vision. Deflated, you strode over to the food table and grabbed a water bottle, hoping a drink of water would help alleviate your nerves. You took a few sips and looked around the room to get your bearings and remind yourself why you agreed to come. Where was Amber when you needed her?

“Excuse me. . .”

Your shoulders tensed as you swung around, an overpowering panic settling in your gut when you saw a male with choppy blonde hair standing there. “Yes? Can I help you?” You gulped and stood stiff as a board; you weren’t comfortable with strangers, and the way this guy stared at you made you feel trapped. The feeling was similar to that of a small animal cornered by a predator, anxiously searching for an escape route but none being available.

He smiled, resting his hand near yours. “I couldn’t help but notice you were standing by yourself and thought you wanted some company. . . The name’s Albert; what’s yours, pretty one?” He hummed and reached to grab your hand

Your water bottle crinkled as you squeezed it, retracting your hand and pressing it to your chest. “I feel like I’m going to throw up.” You thought and frantically looked through the sea of people in search of someone you knew. “I’m fine. My date’s just talking to someone at the moment; please—”

“But it’d be a real shame to leave such a pretty woman alone. I bet I could treat you so much better than whoever you’re with.”

“Judging by how uneasy she is and how unmannered you are, the statistics that you treat my date better than me are meager.” Albedo spoke coldly and shielded you away from him. “To treat women with so little regard is quite the pathetic trait to hold; it’s that same reason why you have not got a date yourself.”

Albert’s eye twitched, his knuckles turning white from how hard he clenched his fists. “Excuse me? Just who do you think you are?” He snarled; his face contorted in rage and teeth bared as he glared at Albedo.

Your heart hammered in your ears as you desperately sought to bring yourself down from an upcoming panic attack. You could feel your breath becoming shallow and your chest tightening as you clenched your fists and reminded yourself to stay in control. It was like trying to battle a tidal wave with a sandcastle—no matter how much you tried to resist, the surge of anxiety was almost staggering.

Through the sea of voices and blur of faces, Albedo’s voice echoed in your thoughts. His steady, soothing voice like a beacon, guiding and leading you through the stormy waves of uncertainty.

“(NAME)? Goodness, you’re trembling. . . Focus on my voice and breathe for me, okay? He’s gone now; he can’t hurt you. . .” The boy muttered and cradled your face in his gentle hands, peppering it in small kisses. “You’re going to be okay, sweet one. . . Come on, breathe with me mhm? In. . . and out.” 

Binding his instructions, you followed his breathing, and the tingling in your fingers gradually decreased. One by one, everyone’s voices filled your ears, and you could see clearly again. “Where—where did he go?”

He shook his head and carefully rested his hand on the small of your back, his thumb tracing circles. “The knights escorted him out, love. They’ll probably have him thrown into confinement; you’re safe.” He assured, gently wiping sweat beads off your forehead. His head lifted when a slow song played on the speakers. With a warm smile, he offered his hand out. “Shall we dance? By focusing your attention on something else, it should distract you from the event that triggered your anxiety.”

Your heart catches in your throat at the proposal, eyes glued to his extended hand. “A—Albedo, I can’t. . . I don’t—”

the dance i had in mind !!

“—know how? You don’t need to, love. All you have to do is follow my lead.” He cajoled and took your hand in his, leading you to the centre of the room. “You don’t mind me being this close, do you?” He murmured right above your ear, his hands enveloping your waist. 

“A—as long as you don’t. . .” you uttered breathlessly, struggling to hold yourself together. His touch was feather light, yet it made your heart ram against your ribcage—his slender fingers drawing shapes on your hips. “What if people think we’re dating. . .”

He spun you around so that you faced him, his eyes—deep pools of glacial blue—glazed over with raw adoration upon meeting your (COLOR) ones. He cooed, “oh? Then let them think that, princess. . . When you are as ravishing as you are, I could not care less who stares. I am rather honored to be your date, and to be perceived as your partner is a rumor that I’m far from concerned about.”

You bit the inside of your cheek, your senses infiltrated by Albedo’s gentle touch; his hands seemed to perfectly fit your figure as if they were made for you. his fingers moved lightly across your body, caressing you with a tenderness that left you speechless. “When did you get so daring, ‘Bedo? I’m so used to you engrossed in your research. . . It’s a little jarring.”

Albedo chuckled. “Daring? Is that what you’d call it? I certainly don’t hear you complaining. . . Teasing aside, I’m only speaking from my heart, love. You’re truly captivating; I know I haven’t been vocal about it until now, but I’ve always thought of you as such.” Hummed the blonde, his words like a steady stream of honey to your ears—sweeter than any melody you could recall. He always seemed to know exactly what to say to get your heart beating louder.

Thinking on your words carefully, you rested your hand on the back of his neck and indistinctively drew him closer. You stood in a moment of contemplation, trying to gauge his reaction and measure the weight of your words. “Hmm. . . and what if I told you I felt the same?”

He couldn’t fight the smile that blossomed on his lips, like a blooming flower that had been touched by the sun or a sudden splash of colour in an otherwise gray landscape. “Well, pretty girl, I’d be truly and utterly flattered that you find me as captivating as I do you. However, I believe you to be the very definition of beautiful, so I don’t think my attractiveness quite matches your own,” he swooned.

“Don’t be so modest, Albedo. . . Kreideprinz literally translates to “chalk prince.” Not only that, but you’re incredibly intelligent,” you said. “Many girls are smitten with you, which is why I’m surprised you chose me out of everyone.”

Albedo quietly tutted and tilted your chin up, biting back his desire when his eyes met yours. “And you call me modest? Oh, princess. . . if only you could look at yourself through my vision. My heart isn’t set on other women but on you. you’ve had my complete attention and devotion since we first met.” He professed, watching your pupils dilate with the very same desire held back. 

Hearing the music slow down, he caved in and placed his forehead against yours, his nose gently nudging yours. He closed his eyes and breathed you in, his hunger for you causing his breath to waver. He was starved of kissing you for months, and holding you so close made him tremble. “F—forgive me for being so brash, but my sense of control slips through my fingers the more you look at me like that. . .” He muttered and thumbed at your bottom lip. “Feel free to call me out if this is inappropriate, but can I kiss you?”

Without skipping a beat, you looped your arms loosely around his neck and pulled him flush against you, brushing your lips against his. Electricity surged through your veins as his hands rested on your hips. You tilted your head and gently deepened the kiss, exploring the contours of his lips.

He responded eagerly, pressing his body against yours and letting out a low growl against your mouth. You tasted of strawberry champagne blended with desire, and it intoxicated him more than any other alcoholic beverage could ever do. Resisting the want to poke his tongue through your parted lips, he reluctantly parted from you—heart whirring with desire at your flushed face and half-lidded eyes.

“I sure do hope that whoever thought they had a chance with you saw that. . . Because as your prince, I hereby declare that you’re mine.”

“THAT’S OUR GIRL! GET IT (NAME)!” “Venti, I believe my prediction was correct. . . Now, as for the payment?” “PLEASE, NOT MY LIMITED EDITION WINE.”

SONG: Snow On The Beach ― Taylor Swift, Lana Del Ray

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯2022 !! #©LOVELYNEY

KUNIKUZUSHI STARED, unamused yet completely infatuated, as you chatted with some merchant—cheeks and nose painted red from the icy wind nipping at them. He wasn’t entirely sure why you wore a scarf as it loosely hung around your neck rather than wrapped snuggly around like he would’ve preferred. . .

He never really cared for mortal holidays like Christmas, deeming, “why would I bother with something so trivial and unnecessary?” However, times have changed; he has changed. After fully accepting you into his schedule and life, his eyes opened to many different things—stuff that usually was just a backdrop for him and whatever he bothered doing at the time. 

“Here you are, Kuni!” you said, handing him a cup of hot chocolate.

He huffed, gingerly taking the drink from your hands. “I didn’t ask for one, but alright. . .” He answered and intertwined his fingers with yours, flinching when he felt how cold they were.

You squeezed the boy’s hand with a roll of your (COLOR) eyes. “Yeah, I know. But you would’ve drank all mine if I didn’t get you one.” You acknowledged, casting him a sidelong glance.

“Would not.”

“Would too.”

“Keep telling yourself that, sweetheart.”   

You laughed at his obstinacy, having grown accustomed to it after being engaged to him for four months. “Soo~ What’s next?” You wondered and sipped your cocoa—the sweet drink warming your throat as you swallowed it delightfully.

Kunikuzushi looked at you with an unbothered expression. “You’re supposed to tell me, (NAME). You’re the one who dragged me out in the cold.” He retorted.

You puffed your cheeks out and released his hand, pretending to be insulted. “What? So you don’t want to spend time with me? Wow, Kunikuzushi. You could’ve just said so.” You bantered, walking off ahead and deciding to amuse yourself with your little “act.”

Before you could stray too far, he seized your wrist and pulled you against his chest, his lips on yours the second your eyes met his. 

The rosy hue on your cheeks darkened drastically as you felt the eyes of passersby drill into you as your boyfriend’s lips moved against yours. You tried to pull away, but the grip on the back of your head only grew tighter, holding you in place and deepening the kiss more. 

Having reached a point of satisfaction, he pulled away and gently stroked your bottom lip, admiring its softness. He let out a quiet laugh, pinching your cheek, “I wouldn’t have asked you to marry me if I didn’t want to spend my life with you.”

You pulled his hand away from your face, a very evident pout displayed on your lips. “Kuni, we’re in public! You—you can’t just do that!” You spluttered, the warmth radiating off your face putting the winter weather to shame. It certainly did not help that your boyfriend wore such a smug expression, unashamed of the “crime” he had just committed. 

Kunikuzushi chuckled with a roll of his pretty, dark lavender eyes. “Hm? I don’t see a law stating otherwise, sweetheart. At least people will lay off you, yeah? Don’t think I don’t see everyone ogling you,” he grumbled and squeezed your waist. (Hello, I’m a member of the Scara waist holder community.)

Your eyes crinkled as a smile formed on your lips at your lover’s slight jealousy. You hummed and strewn kisses across his face, “mmm, but who did I say yes to?”

That question directly set his (metamorphic) heart aflame, each kiss of yours sparking flames to his porcelain skin. A vivacious smile, one unlike him, erupted from his lips as he bit down on his lip; he’d have to add that to the list of times you made him unexpectedly break into a smile. 

Fixing your scarf around your neck, he kissed you again, his infatuation for you taking over his ability to think or speak. “Can you stop doing that to me?” He murmured after pulling away.

You smiled and continued dragging him behind you—your hand firmly encasing his. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, babe.” You said, taking another swig of your cocoa.

Kunikuzushi sighed, bringing his lips to the back of your hand. “Mhm, sure, sweetheart. How long are we gonna be out here anyways? I’d rather not have you freeze to death out here,” he wondered and surveyed the town surrounding you two. 

Fresh blankets of snow covered the streets, footprints littering it as people wandered in and out of Sumeru City—small children gaping at the colorful strings of light that hung from building to building. (I’m not too sure if it would snow in Sumeru since it’s primarily based on the middle east? [At least that’s what it says when I look it up. . .] I looked it up, and it says it does ‹/3 So I’m sorry if it’s incorrect T^T)

“Ooo! I just remembered I need to pick up some flour and chocolate chips from the market!” You resounded, excitedly tugging on his hand. “I’m gonna bake some cookies when we get home!” 

Kunikuzushi raised an eyebrow, finishing the last of his cocoa. “Cookies? What’s the occasion?” questioned the indigo-haired male.

“Christmas, Kuni!” you gushed and shook his arm as you dragged him over to Sumeru General Goods.

He drew his lips in a tight line, unable to match your prominent morale towards the holiday. “Right, Christmas. . .” he replied barely above a whisper. 

“All I’m hearing is that you don’t want any of my delicious cookies!” You demurred and pulled out your wallet.

He rolled his eyes as he pushed your hand down that held your wallet and grabbed his own. He chuckled, watching as confusion washed over you. “What? You really think I’m going to make you pay?” He mused.

You frowned. “You’re not “making me” do anything, Kunikuzushi. I’m paying,” you commented tartly. 

“Najm! False god! It’s wonderful to see you two are doing well!” A familiar child-like voice piped. 

You immediately spun around, remembering only one person called you that. “Nahida! Archons, it’s certainly been a while! It’s lovely to see you as well!” You beamed and crouched down next to her. “How’s this weather been treating you?” You inquired, motioning towards the pale green winter coat she dressed in. 

The dendro archon giggled, “Sumeru is usually so warm, so we don’t often get snow. I’m far from used to it, but it’s a wonderful change! Like a caterpillar emerging from its cocoon and becoming a butterfly. . .”

“What does that even mean. . .”

Smiling colorfully, she turned to Kunikuzushi as you returned to your shopping. “False god, I must say it’s a pleasant surprise to see you here! You’ve never stricken me as the type to celebrate customs.” She acknowledged, her emerald eyes twinkling as bright as the multicolored lights.

He winced slightly, “[sighs]. Buer, it’s been months now. . . Please stop calling me that.”

The small girl inclined her head, a slight frown gracing her lips. “Oh! I’m sorry. . . Making you uncomfortable wasn’t my intention. Do you have something you prefer I call you?” She questioned. 

He let a quiet sigh and looked at you, who spoke happily to Hamawi about the perfect cookie recipe—the glimmer in your pretty (COLOR) eyes sending tidal waves of magma to his face. “Um. . . you can just call me Kunikuzushi. That’s what (NAME) calls me.” He responded, shuffling his face deeper into his own scarf—the one you practically insisted he wore before going out, even when he said he’d be fine. “Speaking of names. . . What is it that you call (NAME)? I don’t think I’ve heard it before.” He puzzled.

Nahida’s head lifted at the question. “Oh! You mean najm? It means a star in the authorized Sumeru tongue! I thought of it when I was reading through some books on Sumeru’s history! The way they clung to you when you were in a coma was like how a star clings to the night sky in the darkest of nights. . . They truly are brilliant and pretty like one, aren’t they?” She effused. 

Kunikuzushi smiled softly, his eyes warm as he looked over at you. “Certainly. . .” 

“What about you? I remember you telling me that Kunikuzushi was about what you used to go by. If you don’t mind me asking, why go back instead of forging a new name for yourself?” She pondered. 

He chuckled lightly, “well, being with (NAME) has opened both my mind and eyes to an array of things. They made me love my name, something that I used to despise because of the self I associated with it. But now, whenever I hear it coming from them, I find that I wouldn’t have it any other way. . .”

The light-haired girl giggled, finding his answer rather gratifying. “I once read in a book that after a prolonged period of being together, someone in the relationship gets on one knee and proposes to the other with a ring. Supposedly, it’s one big declaration of love and marks the initiation of a mutual promise of a later marriage.

“Are you. . . gonna do that with (NAME)?”

He smirked, his pride bubbling in his chest. Grabbing your hand, he tugged you to his side, prompting you to yelp in surprise. He braided your fingers together, showcasing the amethyst engagement ring to his aunt. “I proposed to them four months ago. We are getting married.”

Nahida’s eyes lit up with child-like excitement, her small hands reaching up to examine the jewel—hesitating to ensure you weren’t uncomfortable.

You smiled and kneeled down, giving her your hand so she could get a better look. “Isn’t it pretty? I wasn’t even sure if he was gonna propose—oh!” You cut yourself off as she pulled the two of you in a hug, her tiny frame trying to hold both of you. 

“I’m not sure I have a metaphor to accurately describe how happy this makes me for the two of you. You guys have gone through so much, both individually and as a couple. . . And to see you both are fully committed together and ready to be at each other’s side. . .

“There’s still so much I need to learn, both within Sumeru and outside of it. But what I’ve gathered so far is that love and the relationships you make with others are some of life’s most treasured things.” She expressed and pulled away to look at Kunikuzushi. “Take care of them, Kunikuzushi. This star shines brighter than the others.”

He huffed, which was betrayed by the evident smile in his eyes. “I will, Buer. . . I guarantee that’s one thing you don’t have to worry about.”

Nahida sighed. “I really wish I could talk more, but unfortunately, there are some matters I need to care of in the city. You two take care of each other! And remember, you’re always welcome to stop by and see me!”

The corners of your lips lifted in a soft smile as you waved the tiny archon goodbye. “You too, Nahida!”

Kunikuzushi’s eyes laid on you affectionately as you continued browsing for ingredients—the words “you guys have gone through so much, both individually and as a couple” echoing in his head. 

Something about him never taking his regard off you, for love or hate, seemed familiar to him. From when he had sworn to himself he hated you to when he woke with you sobbing in the crook of his neck—scared he wasn’t going to wake. Yet it all seemed too distant to put a finger on.

“I’m done, Kuni! Do you want anything?” You simpered, dragging him out of his lingering thoughts.

He shook his head, shoveling his hand in yours and handing the vendor the designated amount of mora. “Can we please go home now? Your hands are freezing, sweetheart. The farthest thing I want is you getting sick.” He appealed. 

You nodded with a smile, “mhm! I’m all done here.”

Upon returning to your guys’ shared home just out the outskirts of the city, Kunikuzushi pressed his lips to your forehead. “I’m gonna take a shower you wanna join?” He offered and trailed kisses down your jawline—the frigidness of his lips causing you to shiver.

Letting out a soft hum, you push your boyfriend’s face off your collarbone, smiling at his lovesick eyes. “I’m sure you’d love that, Kuni. However, I need to unpack these groceries. . .” You replied and kissed his cheek.

“I hate it when you tease me like that.”

“I know,” you grinned and watched him leave for the bedroom. you headed into the kitchen, preparing everything for your first batch of cookies. Opening up the cabinet beneath the sink, you stared at the small wrapped gift tucked away in the back. You sighed dejectedly, feeling a twinge of anxiety dig into your chest. You chewed on your lower lip and attempted to shove away your intrusive thoughts as you shut the door and stood back up. 

“I hope he likes it. . .”

Kunikuzushi hummed a tune to himself as he ruffled his hair with a towel to dry it. He looked in the mirror and smiled, touching the faded mark on his shoulder blade. He would never tell you himself, but he adored whenever you left evidence of your love on him—whether that be scratches, bruises, or bites. Although he did prefer leaving them on you.

Throwing on a black zip-up hoodie, he stepped out of the bathroom, the smell of freshly baked cookies filling his senses. He smiled and followed the scent to where you were, swaying back and forth as you pulled out another tray from the oven. You had changed into shorts and one of his longer t-shirts; it was enough to drive anyone mad. To say he felt blessed would be an understatement. 

He snuck up behind you, snaking his arms around your waist and pulling your back flush against his chest. “Mmm~ You’re ravishing, sweetheart. You know that?” He crooned, planting his lips right below your ear. 

Shivering, you tipped your head a little to the side. “Hmm, what’s gotten into you today? You’re usually not this lovey.” You breathed out, relishing in the feeling of his lips trailing down the side of your neck.

Kunikuzushi chuckled, sending vibrations throughout your entire body. “Can’t a guy appreciate his lover’s attractiveness? I mean, fuck (NAME), any guy would kill to be in my position,” he flattered and softly sunk his teeth into your skin, the water droplets from his hair splashing onto your shoulder. 

You sucked in a breath, not wanting to give him his desired satisfaction. Spinning around, you grabbed the fabric of his hoodie and tugged him closer. “And I’m sure any woman would kill me for mine. . .” You avowed breathlessly.

He smirked, his sense of pride swelling in his stomach. “Yeah? Well, that’s a shame because all I want is right here in my hands.” He hummed and wrapped his hand around your neck, slotting his mouth perfectly on yours. 

Desire rippled inside his chest as he tasted the sugar on your tongue from when you taste-tested the cookie dough. His fingers reached up to tangle in your (COLOR)-colored hair, gently tugging at the strands as he pressed you further against the back of the counter. The smell of your perfume intoxicated him as he breathed all of you in: your scent, your taste, your touch, the feel of you, everything.

Taking your slightly parted lips as an invitation, he pushed his tongue inside your mouth. He smiled against your lips as his favorite delicacy filled his mouth and infiltrated all his senses—that being you, of course.

His hands fell underneath your thighs as he picked you up and lifted you onto the top of the counter. His hands slid beneath your shirt, fingers smoothing deep circles on your lower back.

Your lungs burned from the lack of oxygen as Kunikuzushi kissed harder and deeper—the air surrounding growing heavier and hotter. You knew he wouldn’t let you pull away until he had his whole share of you. 

After two minutes, he finally drew away, smirking as you gasped for air. “Damn, you’re so perfect like this (NAME). . .” He cooed, moving his mouth down your neck to kitten-lick it. 

“K-Kuni, the cookies are going to burn—” you tried to argue, your words being cut off as he gently bit down on your soft spot. Your hands pressed weakly against his chest in an attempt to shove him away, but as he continued teasing that spot, your strength watered down.

“Aww~ I love when your actions speak louder than your words. Really shows just how weak I make you,” Kunikuzushi said and continued to scatter hickeys down your shoulder blades and collarbone.

Huffing, you managed to gather your resilience and push him away. “Stopstop! It’s always a pain in the ass covering up your hickeys!” You pouted and hopped off the counter. 

He laughed, reaching behind you and grabbing a sugar cookie. “That’s the point, sweetheart. I want you to always remember who you devoted your life to. . .”  

You rolled your eyes and set the final batch of (luckily not burned) cookies down. “Devoted my life to my ass. . .” You uttered under your breath.

“What was that?” he teased, sneaking his hand lower down your waist and teasingly tapping his fingertips on it. 

“N—nothing! You can stop!” you spluttered and slapped his arm away. “A—actually. . . There’s something I want to give you.”

He arched an eyebrow, “a gift, huh? You know you didn't have to get me anything. Your infatuation for me is already enough, my love.”

You scoffed and retrieved the neatly wrapped box, anxiously handing it to him. “Hush! Just open it and tell me if you like it or not!” 

Your boyfriend smiled, leaning against the wall, and carefully tore off the wrapping paper, scared to break whatever might be inside. He tilted his head at a beautifully carved wooden box—the wood being from the sakura trees in Inazuma. Looking up at you, his countenance hushed when he regarded how anxious you looked. 

You shifted your weight from side to side as you didn’t dare look him in the eyes. An authentic cue that you were genuinely anxious. 

“Oh god, are there gonna be divorce papers inside? We haven’t even officially married yet—” He considered doubtfully as he carefully opened the box. However, his uneasiness wilted as his eyes settled on a glass-carved ballerina.

“A. . . music box?” Kunikuzushi inquired thoughtfully, his fingers carefully turning the knob. For some reason, tears stung his eyes as a soft melody played in his ears.

( open for the melody♥ )

You smiled faintly. “Um. . . I remember after we first started dating, you told me the story your friend told you. . . The one with the puppet soldier and the ballerina doll?”

“That story has stuck with me ever since you told it to me. It reminded me so much of you, Kunikuzushi. How you were so scared of your emotions. It physically hurts me to remember how much pain you’ve endeavored. . .” 

Wet droplets fell from his eyes, starting from a sprinkle of rain to soon a downpour as his emotions overwhelmed him—emotions that he used to swear he never had. 

“Oh, (NAME). . . O—Only you can make me breakdown like this. . .” He blubbered, gently brushing the glass ballerina with his fingertips. It definitely was professionally made with how detailed the carvings were. “This. . . H—How much did this cost you?! Is this why you’ve been taking up more commissions lately?”

You giggled. “C’mon, don’t give me that. It was nothing, babe! And anyways, this is the least I can do! You’re the one who bought me such a beautiful engagement ring!” You reassured, your hands proudly resting on your hips. “That said. . . I’m so relieved you like it. It took me literally ages to figure out what to get you. You’ve never been one for gift giving and—oof!” 

After setting down the music box, Kunikuzushi wrapped himself securely around you—hiding his face in your neck so you couldn’t see his red and puffy eyes.

Then it dawned on him—that vague feeling of him never taking his eyes off you. It’s just how the story reads out; the soldier never once took his eyes off the ballerina, even when thrown into the fire; that’s precisely what he did with you. To when he observed you in Inazuma in envy, to him now watching over you with devotion. His eyes never seemed to leave you. You were his ballerina, the one who wouldn’t leave his mind despite being thrown into countless fires.

Kunikuzushi laughed, his voice scratchy from crying. “A—And you know what? I think you might be my ballerina, (NAME). My eyes always seemed to find you in hatred and in love. You’re truly my greatest treasure, y-you know that? I’m. . . I’m so lucky to have you in my life I’m so honored I’m the one you’re marrying. . .”   

You smiled and kissed the top of his head, drawing circles on his back to soothe him. “And I’m merely honored you chose me, Kunikuzushi. Because no matter how many times this story is rewritten, I’ll always find my way back to you. . .” You expressed. Taking a deep breath, you reached into your back pocket. “There’s one more thing I need to show you, though. . .” 

He pulled away instantly, blinking away his tears. “Something. . . else?” he wondered quietly as you placed something into his hands. His eyes widened, staring directly at the two thin red lines that read in front of him.

“Y—You’re pregnant?”

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Like Ayato, she didn’t want to tell the public of her relationship with you because she feared how’d they react.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Her brother doesn’t visit very often to physically meet you, but she does write all about you in the letters he sends him ‹3

𖠵𝟎𝟒: She was alone most of her life, so she’s a little shy at first. Give her a little time, and she’ll warm right up to you (:

𖠵𝟎𝟓: She’s new to romantic relationships because she kept herself hidden away most of her life and didn’t think she’d have the time to pursue one.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: She was very hesitant to ask you out; Thoma had to give her the final shove for her to do it ‹/3

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Since she doesn’t want the public to bother you guys, dates are normally in the teahouse or picnics in the forests !!

𖠵𝟎𝟖: When Ayato did finally meet you, she did not hear the end of his teasing. . .

𖠵𝟎𝟗: “(My) dear,” “(my) flower,” and “(my) lovely.”

AYATO: “Oh? You must be the (NAME) Ayaka keeps on mentioning in her letters. It’s nice to finally meet you; I’m Ayato, Ayaka’s brother. And your future brother-in-law, perhaps? I’ll have you know she writes at least three pages strictly about you. . .”

❝B—Brother! Don’t say such things! I—I only mention (NAME) so many times because they truly are one of a kind. . . I’ve never felt happier in my entire life than I do with them. . . A-And even though you are teasing, I’m very happy you can meet them yourself.❞

to make things interesting, let’s say you were the leader of one of the armies in the resistance !! she first saw you when you shielded one of your soldiers from one of her attacks !!

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Ei hadn’t built the Shogun to deal with romantic emotions, so it had actually been a little bit of a minor setback for her because she didn’t know how to deal with them.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: After the vision hunt decree ended, she actively sought you out (as the Shogun) to learn more about you; she found you. . . interesting.

because she wasn’t really speaking for herself, the interaction was a little bittersweet because the Shogun didn’t quite know how to talk with you.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Falling for you scared her because she thought she fully locked herself away from those feelings.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: However, Yae kept on nagging her to tell you, saying that you’re a perfect fit for her and she could learn a lot from you.

she actually left the Plane of Euthymia to confess to you, hoping to come off as more sincere and to have some more personal time with you.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Having locked herself away for years, she’s new to a lot of things—including romantic relationships. She’s learning as she goes (:

𖠵𝟎𝟖: You and Yae are just about the only ones who can get her out of the Plane of Euthymia. (‘:

𖠵𝟎𝟗: (↑) She prefers dates inside there because then you guys can’t be interrupted. You had to tell her that it isn’t the most romantic setting, so she’s coming up with ideas as she goes ‹/3

𖠵𝟏𝟎: “(My) eternity,” “(my) dear,” and “(little) dove.”

SHOGUN: “Who’s there—Oh, it's you, (NAME). . . M—My apologies; I wasn’t aware you were visiting today. May—May I assist you with something?”

❝What a pleasant surprise, my little dove. I certainly wasn’t expecting you here today. Please, don’t mind the Shogun. Make yourself comfortable, my dear. I’ll be with you shortly to properly greet you.❞

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Since this girl hasn’t touched cooking utensils once in her life, let’s hope you know how to do the cooking ‹/3

she’ll gladly take up cooking lessons if you taught them !!

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Whenever Yae visits, she always asks how you two are doing !! Accompanied by some playful teasing, of course.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Being her, the electro archon’s, significant other, she expects everyone within Inazuma to treat you as her equal. almost as if you ruled beside her. (Because if she plans on marrying you, you probably will. . .?)

𖠵𝟏𝟒: The people of Inazuma know not to mess with you, but let’s say a Fatui agent did. She would do everything in her power to find them and rid of them in a minute. A threat to you is a threat to her eternity. Expect raging lighting storms in Inazuma until she finds you.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: She isn’t quite used to physical affection, but she’s getting used to it the more you give it to her ‹/3

however, one of her favorite things to do is hold your hand while you two are walking around Inazuma City !! ‹3 she loves the feeling of your hand in hers.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: Sometimes, you like to undo her braid and brush through her hair; she doesn’t mind; she actually finds it quite cute that you developed such a habit.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Her hands are always cold as ice, and she'll always smile and laugh at your attempts to warm them.

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Will always put you and your wellbeing first without much thought; you are her eternity, after all.

꒱₊˚ 𝐊𝐎𝐊𝐎𝐌𝐈 !! 𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐃𝐎𝐌

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Similar to Ayaka !! Kokomi is the absolute sweetest, yet inexperienced when it comes to love ‹3

she’s read all about it, which is what gave away the fact she liked you !! after reading about a character falling in love with another, she realized she felt that way about you !!

𖠵𝟎𝟐: She always longingly stared at you while you were out. (This did not go unnoticed by the shrine maidens.)

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Likes to keep your relationship under wraps, not wanting people to busy her with unnecessary questions.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: She doesn’t like to drag you into her work since she doesn’t want to bother you ‹/3, but if you insist on it, she’ll let you help her.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: (↑) On those days, she likes to have you along with her whenever she meets with someone. If you’re dating her, you’re also an essential part of Watatsumi Island !! She also loves to hear your input on things !! Your opinions mean a lot to her.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: You’re always there for her when the people’s talking is getting too much for her—just a simple squeeze of her hand will do lots (:

𖠵𝟎𝟕: She loves to sit down with you, a cup of tea in hand, and read you some of her favorite novels ‹3

𖠵𝟎𝟖: She normally has to get up in the early mornings. However, she sometimes finds herself snuggling deeper into your hold whenever she has to get up ‹/3 The warmth and comfort of your arms is something she wishes she could bask in forever.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: “(My) koi (fish),” “my pearl,” and “(my) love.”

❝Why hello there, my koi! What brings you here at this hour? Shouldn’t you be sleeping at this time of night? H-Huh? You came to get me? Hmm, but I still have work to do. . . A-Ah! Wait, please don’t look so sad! Ahh, I hate whenever you look at me like that. . . Ok, ok. Let me clean up a little, and I’ll be with you, ok, love?❞

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Whenever you notice she hasn’t returned in a profound amount of time, you always go to her secret spot and take her home, allowing her to rest somewhere more comfortably ‹/3

𖠵𝟏𝟏: (↑) Whenever she’s resting, you rarely let anyone bother her or request for her. Only for things that are urgent do you wake her.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Whenever she’s super tired and her meets with yours, it’s like +100 energy. Your presence brightens up her mentality a lot.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: She wanted to gift you something that she made herself, so she explored all of Watatsumi Island and gathered all the sango pearls she could find—turning them into a beautiful pearl necklace ‹3

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Her skin is super soft !! Whenever you rub your hands against her cheeks, she’ll always blush, but she secretly loves it, hehe.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: A big advocator for taking care of yourself !! She will not have you neglecting yourself; she’ll even try to take some days off to take care of you herself if needed.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: A wonderful person to reach out to if you’re sad !! She offers you great advice and will always let you cry into her arms ):

sometimes, she even takes you in a giant bubble down into the ocean, hoping the vast ocean life there will at least ease your anxieties just a little.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Being a strategizer, she’s prepared for just about everything. Rest assured, if a date goes bad, Kokomi has a Plan B ‹3

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Like Ayaka, Kokomi is normally very patient and calculated, but she'll snap with a click of a finger if she hears someone talking bad about you or hurting you.

𖠵𝟏𝟗: Always gives you a (soft) lecture if you get yourself in trouble or hurt; all the while when she's carefully treating your wounds ‹3

𖠵𝟐𝟎: As much as she hates putting your life on the line, you're her other right-hand person besides Gorou. She never for a second doubts your dedication or strength.

꒱₊˚ 𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐀 !! 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐀

𖠵𝟎𝟏: She was your total typical tsundere at first, not wanting anything to do with you. (Unless provoked, of course.)

𖠵𝟎𝟐: However, after you two started dating she became your strict mom girlfriend.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: It’s strange dedicating herself to someone other than the Shogun, but she sees you worthy of her time and admiration.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: She likes to give you archery lessons so that you know how to properly defend yourself. (Even if you already know how.)

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Her protectiveness matches Ei’s. If she hears someone talking shit about you or that someone hurt you, they will answer to her.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: I mean it when I say she acts like a mom ‹/3 She’ll always make sure you have everything before heading out, going over the list at least two times before seeing you out.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: She actually takes really good care of you despite her sharp tongue and looks !! She wants to ensure you’re feeling your best because she wouldn’t know what to do with herself if you weren’t feeling well ‹/3

𖠵𝟎𝟖: (↑) And if she hears that someone thinks she doesn’t treat you well because of her sharpness, she’ll take it personally and immediately deal with them. She doesn’t want you to hear those kind of shitty rumors that have you doubting her sincerity towards you ):

𖠵𝟎𝟗: “(Little) dove,” “raven,” and “(little) crow.”

❝Ah, you’re home, little crow. Oh? How come you look so exhausted? Bite off more than you chew again? Didn’t I tell you to take things at your own pace? You’re taking the next two days off from commissions. No, raven, no ‘buts.’ I’m sure the Adventures Guild can survive without you. It’s time you finally take some time for yourself.❞

𖠵𝟏𝟎: She doesn’t let her wings out very often if at all, but when she notices you’re genuinely upset over something, she’ll wrap you you in them.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Doesn’t like being perceived as “soft” so she isn’t one for PDA.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: (↑) In general, she isn’t a very affectionate person. Her love language is words of affirmation, I’d think.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Between the confines of your home, Sara is actually rather gentle and warm !! She tries to draw a line between how she acts when she works and around you.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Tries not to admit it so much, but you mean a lot more to her than she initially bargained for, LOL.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Whenever she gets worked up, she’ll ask you to snuggle into her arms because your presence tends to keep her sanity intact, LMFAO.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: Likes to bring you along to her meetings with Kokomi, you often offering a third option to whatever they’re discussing. Sara normally trusts your judgement, so she’ll go along with it.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Before, she never even thought of picking up a domestic hobby (cooking, knitting, gardening, etc.) But now with you, she wants to try everything in hopes of fitting better together with you.

꒱₊˚ 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐁𝐔 !! 𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

𖠵𝟎𝟏: She’s girlfriend material at its finest !!

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Another one to act like your mom ‹/3 It’s in her nature with taking care of the Arataki gang, LOL.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: (↑) Speaking of the gang, Itto practically insisted on you joining because you’re Shinobu’s S/O, so you’ve basically just been adopted by them as per his words.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Your protector and accomplice for just about anything (within reason.) She’s willing to cut corners to keep you out of trouble or cover you.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: She can be a little intimidating sometimes. . . She’ll use that to her advantage when it comes to protecting you ‹3

𖠵𝟎𝟔: When people aren’t looking, she’ll slip her mask off and give you a quick kiss ‹3

𖠵𝟎𝟕: She’s knowledgeable in a variety of things !! So she can help you with just about anything.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: She loves to play with your fingers/hands. They feel so soft to her, and she likes to curl her fingers around the tops of yours.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: “Sakura,” “baby/babe,” and “sweetheart.”

❝Haha, why do you look so exhausted, sakura? The gang wear you out? The boss certainly knows how to pick em, huh? Welcome to my life, babe. On a brighter note, they all seem to really like you! Which is good because if otherwise, I’d have to knock some sense in them. . . It doesn’t take a genius to see that you wear your heart on your sleeve.❞

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Isn’t necessarily one to get jealous because of her trust in you. but if she notices someone isn’t getting the hint, she’ll scare them off in no time.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Another one who doesn’t really initiate PDA but will happily give it if you asked !! She doesn’t really give a shit what people think about her—rather than what they think about you.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Loves to casually show you off.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Teaches you a lot of survival skills because she’s lowkey scared you’re gonna get lost in the forest without her ‹/3

𖠵𝟏𝟒: She has a lot of free time, so that means lots of dates at different places !!

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Loves to travel around the different nations with you !! It’s one of her favorite things to do.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: If you dressed in her style, she’d melt right on the spot. Expect matching fits if you proposed the idea, LOL.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: As I previously mentioned, she doesn’t initiate much affection out in public, but at home, she’ll smother you in all her kisses and love ‹33

𖠵𝟏𝟖: A really great cook !! She tries to make you three meals a day !! And if you’re not feeling up to eating that much, she’ll make sure to give you smaller portions or snacks so at least you’re still eating (: ‹3

𖠵𝟏𝟗: A wonderful listener !! ): She wants you to feel comfortable and safe around her, so she always opens up her arms for you.

𖠵𝟐𝟎: If she sees you're getting antsy or nervous about something, she'll hold and squeeze your hand ‹3

꒱₊˚ 𝐘𝐀𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐎 !! 𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

𖠵𝟎𝟏: We all know Yae is quite the teaser. . . However, I’d say she’s the fine line between a sadist and a mom, LMAO.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Takes any chance to (playfully) poke fun at you or tease you ‹/3 She’s one that loves to get you riled up.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Made you an omamori amulet to wear as an accessory. However, this one doesn’t have a limit on its uses. If she senses you’re in danger or in need of her, she’ll use it to get to you (: ‹3

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Rarely goes into her fox form, but if she sees you devastated over something, she’ll turn into it and nuzzle into your arms—letting you pet her if you feel the need to.

if you aren’t feeling any better, she’ll shift back into her human form and properly embrace you—running her hands through your hair and letting her tails wrap around you comfortably.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Likes to drag you along with her whereever she goes. What can I say ?? She loves your company :)

𖠵𝟎𝟔: I’m sure this has already been established, but she’s a huge flirt, lmfao. She loves to see your cheeks gain a rosy hue because of her sugarcoated words ‹3

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Pretty protective over you ?? Because, “we can’t have anyone stealing what’s mine, can we my little kit?”

that said, she’ll deal with them in her own, personal way and won’t tell how when it’s said and done, saying “the how doesn’t matter, little one. what matters is that. . . pest won't dare lay a finger on you again.”

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Whenever you have days off from commissions, she likes to have you work with her !! (So much for a day off. . .) Not only because she can be around you, but also because she can bribe you to put on a shrine maiden outfit ‹/3

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Heavy on affectionate names in general, but her mains are “little one,” “(little) kit/kub,” and “(my) darling.”

❝Little one, I heard the strangest thing from Ei today. What was it you ask? That a certain (COLOR)-haired cutie kept on pushing themself when they looked oh-so-exhausted. . . I was thinking you knew a little more about it? Hmm? You don’t? That’s certainly a shame. . . I had a whole day's worth of pampering prepared for them.❞

𖠵𝟏𝟎: She loves to pamper you whether or not you need it. She always says you deserve the best, and you do !! Quit telling yourself otherwise 👹👹

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Always goes to you for novel ideas; your mind is one of the greatest things she treasures about you.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Not shy about PDA whatsoever. She’ll hug, kiss, and hold you anywhere or wherever she wants—no ifs or buts.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Doeesn’t get jealous often, knowing she has you wrapped around her finger (she’s wrapped around yours too, don’t worry ‹3); she finds it quite amusing that some person can steal you from her, actually. She’ll just stand there smiling sweetly until they’re finished before finally expressing that you’re together with her.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Likes to have you resting against her chest while you two sleep or cuddle ‹3 That way she has better access to protecting you and such.

in the mornings, you get up when she says you get up, LMFAO. one of her favorite times is when she gets to hold you in the earlier mornings without interruptions.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Whenever Ei mentions you, Yae’s ears always perk up slightly before happily expressing how you two have been.

she’s also mentioned that this feeling of genuine love is a little foreign to her and how she fears she’ll accidentally break your heart and scare you off ‹/3

𖠵𝟏𝟔: (↑) She hasn’t had a person besides Ei mean so much to her in a while, so she treats you very carefully and always keeps a close eye on you to make sure you aren’t actually bothered by anything she says or does.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Whenever she’s out in Inazuma City and hears your name, her ears perk to carefully listen in to whatever they’re saying about you, wanting to make sure they aren’t spewing utter nonsense about her dear love.

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Likes to play with (and/or) do your hair whenever you’re doing a mundane task.

𖠵𝟏𝟗: (↑) She won’t admit it (or maybe she will. . .?) but she’ll lean into your palm whenever you comb through her hair.

𖠵𝟐𝟎: She wants to find a way to permanently mark you as hers, the marks she leaves you fading too quickly for her liking. . . Then she brought up branding and. . .

𖠵𝟐𝟏: Lowkey your sugar mommy ‹/3 She’ll get you anything you want or need. Even if you don’t ask for anything !!

꒱₊˚ 𝐘𝐎𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐘𝐀 !! 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Yoims is a such a sweet and bubbly girlfriend !! ‹33

𖠵𝟎𝟐: She’s your #01 hypewoman for just about anything !! She’s so supportive of you and will cheer for you on anything !!

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Before and after, you two started dating, she wouldn’t stop talking about you to her dad and Ayaka ‹/3

her dad adores you, by the way !! he’s happy that his little girl found someone that makes her feel so loved. if you don’t have a good father figure, here’s your chance, LMFAO.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Your always the first one who gets to see her new fireworks !! She takes you up to the cliffside at night and sets them for you to see, eagerly waiting for your feedback, hehe ‹3

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Firework making is her love language, LMFAO. Expect lots of fireworks made especially for you.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Always brings you back some snacks or sweets when she’s out gathering materials !!

𖠵𝟎𝟕: (↑) Like Shinobu, if she sees you aren’t eating as much, she’ll bring you some smaller snacks to eat so you’re at least eating something.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Introduces you to everyone she knows !! She wants everyone to know she has an incredible lover !!

𖠵𝟎𝟗: “(My) firecracker,” “(my) firework,” “lovebug,” and “bub.”

❝Hey bubs! I noticed you haven’t been feeling like yourself lately so I asked my dad if he can cover shop for the rest of the week so I can focus on you! He agreed before I could even finish my sentence, hehe. Hm? Nonono, of course, I don’t mind, firework! It hurts me not to see your cute smile, so I will make sure you’re feeling better by the end of the week! No being sad under Yoimiya’s watch!❞

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Loves to pepper your face with small kisses and squish your cheeks !! Hearing you laugh and smile because of her is her kryptonite.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: A big cuddle bug !! She loves to be cuddled in your arms at the end of the night. She doesn’t let go for a while, either.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Her other kryptonite is seeing you play with kids ): It fuels her excitement to start a family with you. Sobs

𖠵𝟏𝟑: The type of girl who’d you want to show to your parents !! She’s very extroverted, so she gets along with people easily !!

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Whenever you’re not busy with commissions, she likes to have you run the shop with her !! That way she kills two birds with one stone.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: She would go through hell and back to see you happy ); You mean so much to her than you could ever imagine.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: When the Vision Hunt Decree was in order, she became a little protective over you. She’d always warn you to be careful whenever you went out so that you wouldn’t get yourself in trouble. (Although she would do whatever it takes to bust you out of jail.)

𖠵𝟏𝟕: This probably sounds repetitive (sorry, LOL), but she’s another one who’s a great listener !! She hates seeing you upset and will listen to you night and day if it means you feeling better.

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Her cheerful demeanor diminishes when she sees someone hurting you. She’ll push you behind her protectively, a forged tint of happiness in her eyes as she tells them off.

the opposing person doesn’t normally think anything of it, given how bubbly Yoims is, which makes the payback 10x better, LMAO.

WARNINGS: hickeys (gorou, heizou, kazuha) and making out (heizou.)

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯2022 !! #©LOVELYNEY

꒱₊˚ 𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐓𝐎 !! 𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐄

𖠵𝟎𝟏: I like to think Ayato is a combination of a gentleman and a sadist.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: On one hand, he likes to see you struggle and plays with you (harmlessly) because he finds it cute and entertaining.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: And on the other, given the nature of being the head of the Kamisato Clan and taking care of Ayaka, he’s also incredibly warm and gentle.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Before you two started dating, Ayaka would always tease him about marrying you.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: He wanted to keep your relationship a secret from the public to save you from any nasty rumors. However, one day while you two were simply taking a walk together (you weren’t holding hands or anything), someone tried to whisper something behind your back sneakily, and Ayato had it with them and just kissed you right then and there to prove them wrong.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: He’s quite territorial and does not like sharing you.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: It’s hard to decipher the next you’ll see him with how hectic his schedule is.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: “(My) darling,” “(my) love,” and “honey.”

❝Darling, are you home? I know I said I wasn’t scheduled to return til’ next week, but I already feel so bad leaving you alone for such a prolonged period. So, I’m going to work harder and faster to return to you sooner. It really is the least I can do, my love.❞

𖠵𝟎𝟗: He always asks Thoma to look over you for him ;; the ginger, of course, doesn’t mind (:

𖠵𝟏𝟑: He is perfect husband material, y’all.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Really wants to start a family with you ‹//333 He’s waiting for work to settle down before consulting with you.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Whenever you two get into arguments, you’ll always spend extra time with Ayaka and not even spare him a glance.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: Ayaka is very excited for you to marry him, by the way !! She couldn’t be happier that you’re the one taking care of her dear brother. Expect to go wedding shopping with her when the time comes.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Given your relationship with him, people know not to bug you, but some people purposefully do so just to grab his attention.

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Ayato is a very pretty man which means there’s lots of stares. If you ever doubt yourself or his love, expect a very long and heated make-out session.

𖠵𝟏𝟗: He’s a very loving and passionate man both in bed and out of it !! He’s very domestic when it comes to romance, pushing aside his sadistic tendencies, BAHJSJ.

𖠵𝟐𝟎: Escorts you anywhere and everywhere in public.

𖠵𝟐𝟏: Surprisingly clingy and pouty when you aren’t giving him enough attention, LMAO.

꒱₊˚ 𝐆𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐔 !! 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐑

𖠵𝟎𝟏: The goodest of good boys !!

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Initially (and kinda still is) was incredibly shy and awkward.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Besides that, he’s very considerate and loving !! He makes sure to look after you whenever he can.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: You are the only person who’s privileged to pet his ears and tail !! But be careful; he can and will revoke your privileges if you abuse them !!

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Please save this poor boy from Yae Miko’s teasing ‹//333

𖠵𝟎𝟔: (↑) You can confirm that he does like to hug his tail when he’s sleeping, though !!

𖠵𝟎𝟕: He keeps his and your relationship usually to himself unless directly asked about it. He isn’t ashamed or anything; he just doesn’t want the soldiers to know that he’s a cuddle bug at home; LOOOL.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: “Lovebug,” “honey/hon,” and “sweetheart.”

❝Welcome home, lovebug! You’re home later than usual; did something happen? Why do you look so upset? Ah. . . Just a worrisome day, huh? Do-Do you want me to draw you a bath? Y-You look like you could benefit from some relaxation. . . A-And I can join you if y-you’d like. . .?❞

𖠵𝟎𝟗: If you have a pet and give it more attention than him, he will pout. How dare you pet something that’s not him ??

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Tries his best not to get jealous because he trusts you. However, if he sees someone getting too close, he’ll hug you from behind and stare down the opposing person.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: One of his favorite cuddling positions is when he’s resting on top of you. You’re the best mattress he can ask for ‹333

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Has a nose of steel so you can’t go hiding any injuries from him !! Expect to be scolded if you try.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Isn’t the greatest with words, but his arms are always open to you if need the additional comfort. (:

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Probably isn’t as innocent as people make him out to be.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: A biter !! One of his favorite things to do is leave love bites down your collarbone. His teeth are also pretty sharp, so they leave a hell of a mark.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: If he wants your attention, he will get it. Sometimes, he’ll sit in your lap and nuzzle his nose against your neck or start sloppily kissing it to gain your attention.

𖠵𝟏𝟖: He’s completely smitten by you ‹33 You are the love of his life without a doubt.

𖠵𝟏𝟗: Talks about you with so much love that it’s incredibly obvious how obsessed he is.

𖠵𝟐𝟎: His ears always perk/twitch at the mention of your name.

𖠵𝟐𝟏: He hates leaving you so early in the morning or late in the night whenever he has night watches ): Expect to be sleeping in the days he isn’t working.

𖠵𝟐𝟐: Seeing you in your uniform for the first time had his tail wagging like a madman, LMAO.

𖠵𝟐𝟑: Loves seeing you absolutely kick ass, LMAO. He thinks you’re the coolest and hottest person ever whenever you beat someone tf up.

꒱₊˚ 𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐙𝐎𝐔 !! 𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐘

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Whoever said Heizou doesn’t open up to many people clearly hasn’t met you !! He’s the one who chased after you.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: He was very flirty in the beginning, so it was hard to decipher whether or not he was just being Heizou or had actually taken a liking to you.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Although, now that he started dating you, he's stopped flirting with a lot of people (much to your request, stop being a manwhore, Heizou.)

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Always takes the opportunity to tease you ;;

sometimes he fails to see that it actually bothers you and feels awful whenever he genuinely upsets you.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Likes to act cocky, but he'll follow you around like a lost puppy when you're not giving him your attention.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: This man is INFATUATED with you and he doesn’t even try to hide it.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: He may flirt with whomever (most of the time for investigation purposes), but if he sees someone flirting with you, then he’s fuming and storming over there.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Keeps a hand on you at all times whenever you two are out together—always gently tugging on your hand if you start to wander.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: “Sweetheart,” “partner (in crime),” “(my) love,” and “princess/prince.”

❝Aw, why the long face, partner? Someone been bothering you lately? Oh? You don’t say. . . Mind giving me a description of them? Hm? Why you ask? Well, that’s for me to know and you to find out, my love.❞

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Always willing to throw hands for you ‹333

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Sara doesn’t know how you deal with him but is only grateful that you keep him in check.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: He has to make out with you at least once “for good measure,” he says. 💀

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Seeing his marks on you gives him a completely different wave of accomplishment, LMFAO. But he also loves to be marked by you !! He wears them with pride everywhere he goes.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: He’s a detective for a reason; you cannot hide anything from him. If you’re not ready to talk about something, he’ll give you time, though.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Sometimes if you have the free time, he likes to drag you along on a case he’s working on.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: Will sit you on his lap while he’s working; he claims your presence grounds him and helps him work better.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: One of his favorite things to do is sit you on a counter or desk and make out with you ‹//3 he loves having the higher ground.

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Initially ?? This guy was the biggest twat of all Teyvat, LMFAO. Kinda still is, but shhh. . . He wouldn’t dare let anyone get close to him.

key word being ‘initially’ he came across you one day while wandering the forests of Inazuma and was like, “fuck.”

𖠵𝟎𝟐: It took him a while to fully warm up to you and trust you; you had to put in a reasonable amount of effort to show that you weren’t going anywhere.

he didn’t dare show it to you, but he felt relieved seeing you stick around after how bitterly he treated you.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: He’s always been incredibly protective over you. You’re the first one that’s decided to stick around him; you think he’s just gonna let you run off ?? Fuck no.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: That said, he’s also quite possessive as well. You’re his first love and, frankly, his last; he plans on keeping you for as long as you’ll let him. And if someone attempts to steal you ?? God bless their poor soul.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: A cocky bastard forever and always ‹3 He loves whenever you two go back and forth.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Before, he, quite frankly, rarely showed affection. But after he was defeated, he became much more open to it since he didn’t care what people thought of him.

he also just wanted to make up for the times he didn’t give you enough love or was being a nightmare, but you didn’t hear it from me.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: He loves to tease you !! Seeing your cheeks flush because of him is the biggest ego boost putting aside whenever you’re crying out his name he can ever receive.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Kisses you like the world’s going to end tomorrow. His kisses are always incredibly passionate and deep.

he has always loved making out with you, for some reason. he says it’s “a gentle reminder that you're mine and mine alone.” like ?? you call THAT gentle ??

shoving his tongue down your throat is his favorite pastime.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Calls you “sweetheart,” “(my) love,” and “(my) princess/prince.”

❝I have a feeling I don’t say this as much as I should, given how much it kills my ego. But, I love you, alright? I hope you never doubt that despite how much of a pain in the ass I can be sometimes. But hey, it takes one to know one, sweetheart.❞

𖠵𝟏𝟎: 10000% pulls you close to him when it rains, so you don’t get wet. Sometimes he even lets you wear his hat just by itself !! (Alhough, the latter is more likely as it gives him a reason to keep you close.)

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Sometimes, when you two are out and about in the cities of Sumeru, Nahida likes to pop in to see how you two are doing!

she always tells you that he’s fortunate to have you and that she’s thankful that he has someone like you.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: In more crowded places, he’ll always hold a little bit more tightly onto your hand, scared that you’re going to get lost and potentially hurt.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Holds you tightly and close whenever you two sleep, scared that you’re going to vanish the next time he opens his eyes.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Whenever he’s deep in thought, he’ll always absentmindedly play with your fingers.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Your entire presence is an immense comfort for him. He finds himself thinking that he wishes he could’ve found you sooner.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: Always watches over you whenever you’re doing something, making sure you don’t accidentally hurt yourself.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Has a deep bitter resentment towards Childe since he constantly flirted with you back when he was in the Fatui 💀

𖠵𝟏𝟖: At home, he’s attached to you at the hip. Whenever you’re cooking, he’ll back-hug you, resting his chin on your shoulder.

sometimes he’ll use the excuse of “you’re obviously not strong enough to stir this so let me help you” just to hold your hand.

𖠵𝟏𝟗: Seeing you play with children brings forth a new wave of emotions for him.

𖠵𝟐𝟎: Sometimes bruises you from hard he grips you.

𖠵𝟐𝟏: Putting aside his anemo vision, fully loving and watching over you has given him a new type of freedom.

𖠵𝟐𝟐: You didn’t talk to him for a while after what he did to Nahida, and because he completely neglected your loyalty to him. Safe to say, it taught him a lesson, LMFAO.

during his resting period, he informed Nahida all about your relationship and how much he actually missed you after all of it; how, after the sour taste of defeat, he’d kill to be resting in your arms.

he cried in your arms for a long while when he finally found you; he missed you a lot more than he ever thought he would.

𖠵𝟐𝟑: Listen, just because he’s a lot kinder now doesn’t mean he still isn’t a little sadistic. . . He still loves to see you squirm from underneath him.

𖠵𝟐𝟒: When he gets nightmares, or his abandonment issues are running high, he’ll lay on top of you so you can comb your fingers through his hair. ‹33

𖠵𝟐𝟓: Loves to mark you on places that are easily spottable. That way people hopefully know to back the hell off.

𖠵𝟐𝟔: He has pretty hands !! He doesn’t see the purpose in your fascination with them or why you like to play with them, but he finds it cute, endearing almost.

𖠵𝟐𝟕: Quick to snap at anyone who’s getting too close to you or is raising their voice.

𖠵𝟐𝟖: Kept you completely hidden from Dottore; he does not trust him around you in any way.

𖠵𝟐𝟗: Now that he has you, he wouldn’t trade you for the stars or any of the planets.

𖠵𝟑𝟎: Always aggressively gives you affection when you ask for it.

while holding onto you: “is this better?😡😡”

“yes, thank you, Kuni ‹3”

“good, it better be because now i’m not gonna let you go😡”

𖠵𝟑𝟏: (↑) He’s also rather aggressive when taking of you when you’re injured or sick—that’s just how he projects his worries.

𖠵𝟑𝟐: Will sometimes threaten to drop you whenever he’s holding you and floating in the air 😭

𖠵𝟑𝟑: Actively seeks out opportunities to hold your waist/have his hands on your waist. The way they fit around it brings him a sense of satisfaction and pride.

𖠵𝟑𝟒: Only cooks/buys you the best quality of food; he will not have it any other way. If food is something that’s required for you to live, then he will only give you the best to ensure you staying alive.

this means he will not have you skipping meals or not eating !! ):< he’ll figure out the root of the reason why, try to fix it, and continue to feed you smaller portions of the meals he cooks.

WARNINGS: hanahaki, throwing up, blood, tighnari’s a dick, dead dove do not eat.

GOOD ENDING.

FLORIST’S NOTE: here it is! finally. also, autosave feature? bless u, tumblr gods.

FLORIST’S NOTE﹙02﹚: uh Fawn here a few months after this was published </3 i'm super flattered you all like this so much; truthfully, i'm very insecure about my ability to write good angst, so it means so much!!

SONG: Secret Garden ― Empath-P

YOU OBSERVED WITH DEFEATED EYES as Tighnari, yet again, swaddled your hands in gauze. You tried to take out a Withering Zone by yourself, wanting to help clear his schedule. However, despite having a vision of your own, you weren’t very familiar with the process and ended up getting hurt, much to the forest ranger’s dismay. 

Your throat ran dry as you struggled to find the right words to say without upsetting him more. It was clear he was about to snap at any moment, so you chose to stay silent, despite your anxiety eating away at the stillness.

“(NAME) for the last time, stop biting off more than you can chew,” the fox-eared boy berated, his gaze as bitter as the medicine he brews. “What was the point in bothering with something you clearly had no idea how to deal with? were you begging for a death wish?” 

You swallowed thickly, your stomach churning as he awaited your response. “My only intention was to take some of the burdens off your shoulders. . .” You answered feebly.

With an exasperated sigh, he rubbed his temples in frustration. “So you wanted to help me and ended up doing the exact opposite? Yeah, that sounds about right. 

“(NAME) this is what? The fifth time you’ve gotten yourself hurt trying to ‘help?’ Don’t you realize you’re only making things harder for the both of us?” Tighnari crossed his arms against his chest, growing more impatient with you by the minute. “Achons, we’re going to run out of medical supplies if you keep getting into situations like these. Can’t you learn to take a hint?” 

The harsh tone of his voice engulfed you in shame, his words ripping your heart into shreds. “I—I just—” your attempt to defend yourself was met with the burning stare of his multicolored eyes. 

He chastised, “save it, (NAME). You give me the same exact excuse every. single. time. Taking care of you like this again is already a migraine as it is.” With that, he packed the medical supplies into his backpack, not sparing you another glance. 

Tighnari criticizing and reminding you how all you do is pull everyone down had become routine by this point. He never told you directly that burdened everyone, yet he clearly didn’t care about hurting your feelings, so you never understood why he didn’t just give it to you straight.

He never acted so rashly to the other trainees, so it led you to believe that it was personal. That said, you don’t know what you did to make him hate you so much. And to add salt to the wound, you admired Tighnari a lot. Hidden beneath his sarcastic nature, he was diligent and dedicated to his work. You could tell he cared for everyone within the confines of the forest, although you highly doubted that to be your case. 

As you carefully observed him, you not-so-surprisingly developed feelings for him. You find it hard to believe now, but he treated you gently when you first met him. That memory felt so foreign after all he did was suffocate you with his accusations. Since then, you shoveled your feelings into the very back of your mind. 

“Are you even listening, (NAME)?” badgered Tighnari, snapping you out of your depressive reverie. 

Nodding slowly, you chewed the inside of your cheek, feeling your emotions consume you from the inside out. “Y—Yes, of course, Master. . .” 

“Really? Because ever since I got here, you’ve done nothing but stare at the ground helplessly.” He shook his head and sighed in defeat, “whatever. It’s not like you ever heed my advice anyways.

“Collei and I are going to be gone for a few days on an expedition. You are not to leave Gandhara Ville until I return. Do I make myself clear?” he said, his large ears flicking in aggravation.

That immediately grabbed your attention as your eyes shot open. You deflected, “I—I’m sorry?! Tighnari, I get that you’re mad at me and all, but I am not a child! I don’t need supervision!” Your face burned hot with humiliation as tears formed in your eyes. 

Tighnari’s eyes softened briefly at your defeated expression before returning to their normal venomous state. “Then quit giving me a reason to treat you like one, (NAME). Now, I’ll be taking my leave.” Before you could answer, he left your room, leaving you alone in your misery. 

After a few minutes of silence, Collei wandered in, her gaze saddening as she regarded your trembling figure. “Oh, (NAME). . .” She lamented and sat next to you, gingerly wrapping her arms around you. “I’m—I’m sorry. . . I don’t know why he’s been treating you so horribly lately; he’s usually never like this. . .” Muttered the girl as she rubbed circles on your back. “I’ll talk to him, o-okay? Please don’t cry. . .” 

Withdrawing from your friend’s hold, you rubbed away your tears with a forced smile in hopes of comforting her. “Don’t worry about me, Collei. I’ll—I’ll be alright,” you soothed, your weakened voice revealing the truth behind your words. 

Tighnari peeked his head over the opening, swallowing thickly when he noticed your tear-stained cheeks. “Collei, come with me, would you? I need to have a word with you.” He dictated, averting his regard away from you.

The girl perked up, “y—yes, Master!” She stood up and turned to you, carefully bringing your head to her chest once more. “I’ll figure something out, okay? D—Don’t worry,” she assured before bidding you goodbye and following Tighnari out. 

After the two left your line of sight, your throat and chest tightened. Scrambling into the bathroom, you stumbled over, suddenly coughing violently. You wiped the sweat from your temple, sighing in relief when it ceased. “What caused that I wonder?” You questioned and fluttered open your eyes. While staring downward at what appeared to be lotus petals, you suddenly felt overwhelming dizzy. Had it gotten that bad?

Your hands clutched your chest as bile burned your esophagus. You weakly shoved yourself up and flushed the toilet. You knew that hanahaki was life-threatening if not treated immediately. However, confessing seemed impossible given the circumstances of your relationship and who you’re in love with. Your other option was to have it surgically removed, but that also meant removing your capability to feel emotions. Nevertheless, you wanted to be a forest ranger like Tighnari and help people, so you’d much rather die of the flower that bloomed in your chest than be an empty husk and not feel anything. 

Laying on your bed, you watched Tighnari and Collei converse—probably about your probation if you were to be completely honest. You let out a meek laugh and closed your eyes, allowing your body and mind some well-deserved rest.

“Maybe if this disease takes me, I won’t burden him anymore. . .”

The following morning was horrible. Following your wake-up, you had to race to the bathroom to throw up again; your lungs and chest burned from how fierce the fits were. Making matters worse, you got far from enough sleep because of the feeling of lotuses climbing your throat.

“(NAME)? It’s Collei! I just wanted to check on you before Master and I head out!”

Your eyes flew open at your friend’s voice. Shit. She wouldn’t take this well at all. Quickly flushing the toilet, you grabbed a towel and patted your face dry, hoping your tiredness wasn’t evident. 

“(NAME)? Are—are you alright?” She worried and walked into your bedroom. Her expression dimmed upon taking in your condition. “You look so tired! Did you not get enough sleep?” Fuck.

You compelled a weak smile, “I—I’m fine! Don’t worry about me, I’m just a little—” Your sentence stopped midway as you covered your mouth, hacking up more bloodied petals. Your hanahaki did not seem to appreciate you lying about your feelings for the sake of others. 

Collei paled immensely, her hand going to mimic your own. “(NAME). . . You—you’re. . .” Tears welled in her rose-colored eyes as she watched you recover. “We have to tell—”

“NO!” you interjected sharply. Sighing, you let out a quiet apology. “I—I’m sorry. . . I didn’t mean to yell like that. I just. . . please don’t tell Tighnari.” You muttered, voice enfeebled from your lack of sleep.

“B—But, (NAME). . . If y-you don’t get help. . .” 

“I know. But I don’t think I can take any more of his disdains. especially when he’s—” You, or rather the hanahaki, cut you off as more petals emerged from your throat and onto your shaking hands.  

Seeing the connection, her eyes softened. She lamented, “oh, (NAME). . . You like him, don’t you?” Her arms circled around you, “please, I—I don’t want to lose you. I promise I’ll talk him into apologizing! You don’t deserve this. . .”

Shaking your head, you gently patted the girl’s hair, her heartfelt words shattering your heart furthermore. “Collei, I—I’m not sure I can promise anything at this rate. . .” You imparted. “I’m not sure if Tighnari is someone you can reason with, as well. . .” 

“Collei? It’s time to go,” Tighnari announced from outside. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. . .

The green-haired girl pulled away from you, looking at your (COLOR) eyes with her own pleading ones. “Everything will be alright, okay? I promise. . .” She sniffled.

You nodded despite your views contradicting hers. Watching her leave, your gaze, hopeless and cold, flickered to Tighnari. You couldn’t help but wonder what occupied his mind; has he even thought of you and how you felt once? Probably not. 

The fox-eared ranger caught a glimpse of your eyes and shivered; that’s right, shivered. The way they looked so dull put a pit in his stomach, and he couldn’t tell why at the time. He looked at his student curiously, “what were you two talking about?”

Collei sighed, “i-it was nothing, Master. . .” 

The realization that you didn’t have much time left dawned on you as you gazed in the mirror. Your once bright and lively eyes were now dulled and impassive, almost as if you’d already gotten the surgery. You heeded Tighnari’s words, staying locked inside your hut and not bothering anybody. After all, that’s what he wanted, right?

Your condition worsened faster than you initially hoped. Every day and night, you retched at least five blood-covered lotuses, leaving you more weakened than the last. You couldn’t even estimate how much blood you had lost by now. With each passing second, your life slipped from your fingers like grains of sand. It seemed to tease you with the thought of death, never actually finishing you off—until now. In most cases, people have at least a few weeks to make the choice; you, unfortunately, did not with how fast your feelings developed. 

Reaching up, you wiped the blood from your lips, leaving a metallic taste in your mouth. Normally you would be grossed out by it, but it was almost comforting by now because it signaled you didn’t have to endure this pain much longer.

You staggered to your desk and pulled out a few things: an envelope, a piece of paper, and a quill. Your fingers trembled as you dipped the feather in ink and scrawled the name ‘Tighnari’ on the envelope. He’d admonish you for the handwriting, but when you’re on death’s doorstep, you can’t really expect perfect writing, can you?

With an unstable breath, you began composing the letter with all the energy you could gather.

“Dear, Master Tighnari. . .”

Tighnari took a deep breath as the faint outline of Gandhara Ville came into his field of vision. Ever since had and Collei finished the expedition, this dreadful feeling like something horrible happened stuck to him like a leech. And no matter what he did, it continued to suck the energy out of him. In retrospect, he’s had this feeling since he left. Worse part about it? He couldn’t figure out why; it’s like he could sense an anomaly but couldn’t see it. 

Collei quickly picked on her teacher’s anxiety and flashed a smile, hoping to comfort him. “M—Master, I’m sure everything will be fine! You know how nice (NAME) is! I’m—I’m sure they’ll forgive you! they’re normally so sweet no matter the circumstances!” She encouraged, though, deep within her mind, she was scared herself. She knew how much his words impacted you.

Tighnari dragged out a sigh, his fingers going through his dark hair. “That’s. . . That’s the problem, Collei. I. . . I treated them so fucking awful, and all they did was sit there and take it they didn’t dare speak up,” he seethed, wincing as he recalled the look in your eyes before they departed. “Archons, who knows if they’ll find it in their heart to even forgive me? I treated them like a toddler when I really meant to protect them. God, my delivery was fucking horrid, wasn’t it? I really messed this up.” He looked at Collei with defeated eyes, “That’s what you were talking to them about, wasn’t it? How vile I treated them. That’s why they were crying the other day.”  

The trainee harshly bit her lip, knowing that’s exactly what happened. She knew that he treated you like a weed in a garden full of lotuses when in reality, you were the flowers themself. And now, with your hanahaki, Celestia knows how much pain you must be in—both physically and emotionally. 

Only then did she remember that you had gotten hanahaki the day they left, and her heart sank. She swallowed hard, feeling her heart weigh heavy in her chest as it pounded against her ribcage. “Um, M—Master Tighnari. . .” she quavered.

He glanced her way, the pit in his stomach swallowing him whole when he regarded how horrified she appeared to be.  “Hm? What’s the matter, Collei?” Inquired the boy, his ears flickering in nervous anticipation. Oh god, did something actually happen to you? 

“I—I normally wouldn’t ask of you something like this, but please, when we get back, g-go check on them? They’re. . . they’re not well. . . ” She uttered aside, her voice wobbling as if she was on the brink of tears.

Her words confirmed Tighnari’s initial thoughts; there was something wrong. “Collei. . . what happened?” he spoke curtly. Hearing no answer, his chest tightened, and he could hear his breathing pick up. “Collei. Tell me now. I need to know if they’re in danger.” His voice rattled as he communicated, his anxiety clawing at his every thought. 

Collei’s shoulders shook with small sobs, “(NAME). . . They—they have Hanahaki. They didn’t want me to tell you because t-they hic knew you’d yell at them in some sort of way. . . A-and they’ve had it for a few days now and—”

“—Collei, I need you to be honest with me. Does (NAME) have romantic feelings for me?”

Glancing up at her teacher with a pitiful expression, she wiped her eyes with her sleeves. “Yes, Master, t—they do. . . I believe they have for a while,” she sniveled.

“Fuck.” He muttered and sprinted towards the ville, leaving poor Collei behind. However, at that time, I don’t think she minded; she recognized that he needed to find you as soon as possible—to save you. 

Pushing past everyone in the village, he shoved himself inside your hut. “(N-NAME)?! Are—are you here? We—we need to talk!” He called out, his voice breaking from breathing so heavily. “(NAME). . .?”

……

“Shit, shit! (NAME), where—where did you go now. . .” fretted Tighnari, his mind racing with every outcome possible. His eyes caught onto a wax-sealed envelope that sat neatly on your dresser. He picked it up and felt an overwhelming sense of dread wash over him as he stared at it. “It’s addressed to me. . .”

“ Dear Master Tighnari, 

As much as it hurts to me say this, but by the time you’ve finished reading this, I’ll have passed away. I don’t quite know what to put in this letter. . . Even as I’m writing this, my mind is blanking. I feel like there’s so much I have to say, but unfortunately, I don’t have much time before this disease takes its final toll on me.

I’m sure Collei’s told you by now of my hanahaki. I don’t blame her; the poor girl looked like she would pass out when she found me puking flowers. I know what you’re thinking, “(NAME), you lummox. So you’d rather just sit and watch yourself die than confess?” Well, Tighnari, would YOU confess to someone who’s admitted you’re nothing but a thorn in their side? If you haven’t figured it out by now, it’s you who I’m in love with. Have been for a while now. 

I must apologize for plaguing both you and everyone in Gandhara Ville. That was never my intention; I only wanted to repay the kindness everyone gave me, no matter if it cost my life or not. But, unfortunately, as you said, I ended up doing the entire opposite. And for that, I sincerely apologize. I wish I could take it all back. 

I hope you know that despite everything, I don’t harbor any negative feelings toward you. And maybe, in a different reality, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. 

Did you know that I’ve admired you from day one? And I’ll continue to do so in the afterlife. You’re genuinely incredible in my eyes; you’re diligent and passionate, everything I wished I was. You’re incredibly dedicated to the forest, which is admirable. And I supposed that’s why I fell so incredibly hard for you. Maybe you knew I loved you; maybe you didn’t. It’s all meaningless now that I lay on my deathbed made out of my own flowers. It’s strangely comforting, even though I’ve lived far from a fulfilling life. 

I honestly didn’t think my feelings had gotten this bad; I thought I had successfully pushed them away for the greater good. But, with how fast the hanahaki materialized, it seems I unestimated myself. That proves just how much I truly adored you. Never doubt your capabilities, alright? You’re truly unique, Tighnari.

This is where we part, my dear fox friend. My strength is running out, and so is the ink. Once more, I’m truly sorry for all the pain I’ve caused; I hope you can find it in you to forgive me. Please take care of Collei for me? Tell her I’m sorry I couldn’t make it; Celestia knows I tried to push through for her.

I love you, Tighnari. My love will continue to bloom for you in the form of lotus flowers. So, whenever you see one, I hope you think of me and how much I admired you. (: 

Yours Truly, (NAME). ”

The words blurred together as tears muddied Tighnari’s vision. Every written word cut deeper and deeper, but he forced himself to read it all. At first, he thought it was staged or a joke of some sort, and a part of him wished it was, but he could recognize your handwriting from a mile away. “No, no. . . this cannot be happening. . . They can’t be—” he thought to himself as he pocketed the note. He seethed, “FUCK! Where could they have gone?!” He pulled his hair stressfully as he wracked his brain for answers.

“My love will continue to bloom for you in the form of lotus flowers.”

His eyes snapped open when it clicked—the river not too far from here was known for the lotuses that bloomed in it. You couldn’t have gone far either, not in your condition, at least. 

Tighnari hurriedly sped out of the ville, ignoring everyone’s worried stares. “Please don’t be too late please be alive.” He prayed silently. He halted and surveyed the familiar spot, spotting a figure lying near the river’s shallows. he uttered, “(N—NAME). . .?”

Stumbling over, his pretty eyes drowned in tears the second he laid eyes on you. You were sprawled out, bloodied flowers sticking to your lifeless body. Blood smeared on your lips and fingers, and thank the Archons, your eyes were closed, or else Tighnari would’ve gone into cardiac arrest from crying so hard.

He collapsed at your side, cradling your face in his hands; the warmth of his palms contrasted with the chill of your skin. Shaking his head in denial, he thumbed at your face hoping to find some kind of reaction that proved you were still alive. “No, no, NO! Come on, (NAME)! W—wake up! You c-can’t. . .” He hiccuped. 

Tighnari gathered you in his arms, concealing his face in the crook of your neck to hide how hard he sobbed. “I. . . I’m so sorry, flower. T—This is all my fault. . . I-If I would’ve just told you how I felt instead of being a moron, then none of this would’ve happened—you wouldn’t have. . .” A sob strangled his throat and cut off his words.

“I—I thought I was protecting you from yourself. . . B-but I somehow did the exact opposite. I was the cause of your pain, and because of how shitty I treated you, you feared telling me how you felt. I. . . I’m so sorry, (NAME). Y-you didn’t deserve to go through so much pain alone.”   

“Master, I heard—o-oh my god.” 

Collei’s eyes rounded in horror, her figure starting to tremble as the situation settled in her head. “(N-NAME). . .” she croaked and dropped next to Tighnari, her hands shakily finding yours. Like her mentor, she was quick to shake her head in denial. “N—no. . . They can’t be. . . How—how did it—” bewailed the girl as her hand squeezed your fragile one. She turned to Tighnari, who looked to be on the verge of passing out from crying so hard. “M—Master, they’re. . . they’re not, r-right? They can’t be. . .”

The ranger shakily pulled out the letter and handed it to her, watching as the girl sobbed harder at its contents. “T—They found comfort in their death because of how much pain they were in. . .” He murmured weakly. As he pressed a kiss to your hair, he noticed that your fingers grasped something.  

Tighnari gingerly grabbed your hand and unraveled your fingers from what you held. A singular clean lotus. He smiled, weak and faint, plucking the lotus from your grip and tucking it in his hair—a memento of your love for him and his love for you. 

“My love for you will continue to blossom in life and in death. . . N—no matter where you are, you will be the first and last my heart is occupied with. There’s no room left for anyone else, flower. . . There never was in the beginning.

“I will look at each and every flower and think of how selfless and caring you were. Your love and dedication will continue to burn bright in Gandhara Ville. I will make sure of it. . .”

and after reading more about it, she started calling you “xiào niâo” which means “little bird” and “(little) love.”

❝You know, xiào niâo. . . After being in a relationship with you for quite some time now and knowing what cheating refers to, I can’t seem to comprehend why someone would do such an awful thing to their partner. . . They’re dedicating their love and time to them, are they not? So why betray their kindness and commit your love to someone completely different?❞

But can you blame them, darling? You’re awfully striking, you know. . . I’m so incredibly lucky to have you as my partner.❞

𖠵𝟎𝟗: If you happened to be with her in the Chasm, she would make it a priority to take care of you, also glaring at Itto whenever he seemed to get a little too friendly with you.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: To make up for her busy schedule, she always brings you food and little trinkets home to show that she’s thinking of you.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: If she hears that someone’s bothering you, she’ll have them dealt with in about. . . 2-3 days.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Can cook some good ass food !! Yelan is hella wife material even if she protests she’s not. (Which she does.)

𖠵𝟏𝟑: When you’re not looking, she’ll stare at you with smitten eyes; she loves to admire your beauty.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Another one who’s an excellent listener and gives great advice; she’ll always lend you her shoulder to cry on.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: She either takes you on really expensive dates or really simple, cute/romantic ones. Her main goal is for you to enjoy yourself (:

꒱₊˚ 𝐘𝐔𝐍 𝐉𝐈𝐍 !! 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐀

𖠵𝟎𝟏: 100% gushed to Xinyan and Xiangling when she started crushing on you; the two have never seen their friend so starstruck by someone.

even now, when you two are actually dating, she still squeals to them about how much she loves you and how you make her so much happier than she could ever imagine.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: You’re a new wave of inspiration for her, bringing forth new ideas to her mind whether you know it or not.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: She loves to do your makeup !! She thinks the style magnifies your beauty by x10,000.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Had a long discussion with her manager (that I forgot the name of ‹//3) about how she should be paying more attention to her performances rather than relationships. Yunjin had never felt more offended in her life.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: She had no problem whatsoever telling her fans that she’s in a relationship with you—happily telling them you’re her star in the night sky and the sun in the morning sky.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Teaches you how to act—giggling whenever you’re being purposefully overdramatic.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: This girl loves you so so much.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: “(My) starlight,” “my muse,” and “(my) darling.”

❝S—Starlight? What’re you doing here? I-I thought you said couldn’t come to today's performance. . . O-Oh, you-you wanted to surprise me? Oh, (NAME). Thank you so much! I really love you, you know that? H-How about I treat you to lunch, hm? It’s the least I can do, really. . .❞

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Really cherishes the time she has alone with you, given she’s normally busy with practicing and performing.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: At the end of the night, she likes to rest her head on your lap and tell you all about her day.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Loves to dress you up in her clothes !!

𖠵𝟏𝟐: She also loves to buy you things !! One of her love languages is definitely gift giving (:

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Whenever you’re watching her perform, she’ll always find a way to lock eyes with you and give you a small wink.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Really wants you to perform with her one day !!

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Teaches you all different kinds of dances !! Dancing with you is one of her favorite past times.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: If she ever feels discouraged, she’ll always think of you and get back on her feet.

꒱₊˚ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐄 !! 𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐀

𖠵𝟎𝟏: He’d totally be your malewife if he didn’t work in the Fatui.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: He’s playful and spirited when talking/teasing you, but if he senses something’s wrong, he’ll drop it immediately and ask what’s wrong.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Dating a member of the Fatui, let alone a harbinger, immediately puts a target on your back because of how treacherous their work is, so you two keep your relationship primarily to yourselves.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Includes you in many of the letters he sends to his family, never failing to mention how much you take his breath away and how keen he is for when they meet you.

Childe’s continuous mention of you almost immediately led Teucer to recognize it was you when you first met him.

he calls you “big sis/bro” and Childe MELTS because he’s so happy Teucer recognizes you as a part of the family.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but he’s YOUR pain in the ass, LMFAO.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Calls you “little fox” and “baby.”

❝Hey, (NAME) I was thinking and wanted to ask if you'd like to visit Snezhnaya the next time I go? I really want you to meet my family because I'm 100% sure they'll love you just as much as I do. Yeah? I'm glad to hear it! We ought to get you some warmer clothes first the blizzards in Snezhnaya can get kind of extreme. Rest assured, I'll keep you warm, lisichka! I wouldn't dare let my little fox freeze under my watch.❞

𖠵𝟎𝟕: It can be hard finding time to go on dates and such when you’re both so occupied with work; you try and make amends, though.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Is extremely dedicated to marrying and starting a family with you ‹3

he can’t wait until he can settle down and have kids with you. domestic bliss is one of his biggest dreams.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Cooks some delicious ass meals. You two cook together when you can, and it’s one of his favorite domestic moments you two share.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Knowing how to take care of his siblings means he’s (mostly) ready to take care of you when you’re sick. 

𖠵𝟏𝟏: He goes into harbinger mode as soon as he hears that someone has hurt you. NOBODY lays a hand on you to hurt you and gets away scot-free.

if it’s because they’re trying to get information on him out of you, then he’ll make sure the pain is excruciating. he already felt bad that there was a target on your back from dating him and had vowed he’d protect you from those people.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: He is, in fact, your sugar daddy if he sees you looking at something for longer than a second, he’ll get it for you the next day.

and he insists on spoiling you; even if you were to protest against it !! he simply will not budge.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Cherishes and protects any gifts that you might give him.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: If it meant coming home to you, he’d work every day and hour of his life.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Glares at anyone who looks at you for too long. What’re you doing ogling his s/o ?? Fuck outta here, LMAO.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: He loves whenever you call him Ajax because it means you don’t see him as a harbinger.

꒱₊˚ 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐘𝐔𝐍 !! 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐎𝐑

𖠵𝟎𝟎: GRR, I LOVE CHONGYUN SO MUCH, MAN ‹//33

𖠵𝟎𝟏: You visited Dragonspine one day and happened to see him floating in the river and were like, “???” His eyes were closed, and he wasn’t moving, so you assumed he was dead. 

when you called out to him to confirm your theory, he instantly jolted up and locked eyes with you. blood rushed to his face so fast that it felt warm in the freezing water.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: It took some time for Xingqiu to fully convince him to confess, but he eventually worked up the courage to do it.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: He’s new to the concept of relationships and is too embarrassed to ask you directly, so he goes to Xingqiu for guidance, which isn’t much better considering he usually teases him.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: There’s always a box of his favorite popsicles stored in your freezer in case of emergencies.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: As part of his energy-balancing, you and him practice breathing and meditation.

he finds himself at peace whenever you’re around just in general, so you just being there helps him a lot.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: He likes to call you “(my) love,” “(my) dear,” and “yin!”

❝You look like you’re about to freeze to death, love! A-Are you sure you don’t want me to take you back home? You-You don’t have to come with me, you know. . . W-Well, if you’re so persistent, at least t-take my jacket and gloves! I-It’s not much, but at least it’s something. . . Um, um, I know when I-I kiss you, you seem to warm up. . . Do-Do you want a kiss, maybe?!?❞

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Since he has to keep his body temperature significantly low, you two can’t cuddle as much as you’d like ‹/3 Heart been broken so many times.

he’s always on the lookout for solutions and/or alternatives because he feels bad ):

𖠵𝟎𝟖: When you get into a disagreement, you always devise a peaceful solution to avoid him getting worked up and passing out.

that said, it’s not like you guys consistently fight, so it’s not a major and concerning issue.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: In the modern world, Xingqiu writes fanfic about you two ‹/3 Sorry, I don’t make the rules here.

however, given in this world, he’ll ask Chongyun about his experiences with you and jot them down so he can portray relationships accurately in his stories. 

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Doesn’t get a break from Xiangling’s and Xingqiu’s constant teasing regarding your relationship.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Loves affection !! He becomes so soft whenever you show him an ounce of love :( He especially loves when you pepper his face with slow kisses; it distracts and calms him down. 

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Clinging to him in the summer because he’s naturally cold, and hugging him is like hugging a bag of ice ‹//3 He hates that he has to push you off sometimes because he gets too warm.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: You went to Shenhe and asked her if she could teach you how to expel spirits; she was delighted to after hearing that you wanted to help her nephew ‹3 (Supportive auntie Shenhe!!)

when you told Chongyun about it, he nearly started crying because he was so touched.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: The two don’t see each other very often, but when they do, Shenhe likes to bring you up in conversation to see how you’re doing. She thinks you two are adorable together and likes to lightly tease Chongyun about it. 

𖠵𝟏𝟓: E̸X̸O̸R̸C̸I̸S̸M̸ D̸A̸T̸E̸S̸

𖠵𝟏𝟔: His lips are cold from all the popsicles he eats, so whenever he kisses you, you’ll shudder a lil,’ and it makes him all giddy because he thinks it’s so cute ‹3 (I love Chongyun I’m going to throw up.)

𖠵𝟏𝟕: You like to experiment with popsicle flavors you make for him !! Of course, avoiding any type of spicy.

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Protective over you !! Especially when you two are out adventuring together. He’d hate to see you hurt ):

꒱₊˚ 𝐗𝐈𝐀𝐎 !! 𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐘𝐀��𝐒𝐇𝐀

𖠵𝟎𝟏: He mentioned to Zhongli that he didn’t believe in “mortal rituals like falling in love” when the archon asked him if he considered settling down with someone in the near future. Yeah, that didn’t go as planned. 

𖠵𝟎𝟐: When he first fell in love with you, he distanced himself out of fear, both of scaring you away and getting too attached.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: One of his biggest fears is accidentally hurting you, whether that be emotionally or physically. He considers mortals incredibly fragile, so he tries to treat you gently so as not to shatter you.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Is always on high alert when it comes to your well-being, reasoning it’s “his duty to protect and defend all of Liyue,” which translates to, “I’m worried you’re going to get yourself hurt if I don’t have my eyes on you for even a second.”

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Gave you a necklace infused with adeptal energy, so if you need him at any given time, all you have to do is squeeze the heart-shaped pendant in your hands, and it’d notify him. (The flowers inside are violet grass and qingxins that he picked himself!)

𖠵𝟎𝟔: This man is incredibly touch-starved; please give him all your undivided love and attention. He desperately needs it ‹//3

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Didn’t see the purpose of giving you nicknames, but Zhongli said that if he didn’t give you one, you might think he doesn’t love you (peepaw’s got your back ‹3), and that directly grabbed his attention. So, he started calling you “qingxin” because you remind him of the flower’s petals, both fragile and pretty. Additionally, he likes to call you “love” and “(little) dove.”

❝Urgh, why must you be so stubborn, qingxin? You know I’ll ALWAYS come at your call. What do you mean it’s just a scratch?! You’re still injured, are you not?! It’s my duty as an adeptus a-and your boyfriend to protect you. . . Shit, you know I’d do anything for you, so take advantage of that, will you? L-Let me protect you. . .❞

𖠵𝟎𝟖: The first time you fell asleep against his chest, his initial thought was, “i’m so fucked,” because it was then he realized he’d bring the world to its feet for you. 

𖠵𝟎𝟗: He would go through all those years of pain and torment 1000 times over if it meant reuniting with you.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: He’d go to great lengths to protect your smile; he isn’t one for experiencing joy, but when he sees your smile, he remembers that there are things in this world worth saving.

because of this, he HATES seeing you cry or upset. he feels like he’s failed his job at being your boyfriend.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Argues that he doesn’t like touch or affection, but when you draw away from a kiss, he leans in closer and pulls you closer against him, his breath still hovering over your lips.

it actually took him a while to grow accustomed to gentle touches because all he did was conquer demons. but with how patient and gentle you were, progress flew by. 

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Sometimes when you have to leave for commissions in the early mornings, he’ll circle his arms around you and pull you back against him, whining that he doesn’t want you to go.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Super protective over you !! if he sees someone getting too close to you, he’ll go over there and wrap his arms around you from behind—his golden eyes piercing into the latter's skull as he nestles his nose against your neck. 

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Acts disgusted when you compliment him, but the redness on his cheeks gives away how he truly feels.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: You like to trace his adeptal markings with your fingertips, and he melts right there and then—hiding his face in your chest or neck as he lets out breathy sighs.

don’t get me started when you kiss them. he has to physically restrain himself from moaning (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t), LMFAO. the feeling of your soft lips against his skin is his weak spot.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: When he kisses you, it’s long and desperate because he doesn't know if he'll see you again when he leaves to rid the demons of Liyue.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Zhongli often brings up marriage and kids to one of you (he thinks you two are perfect for each other from how contrasting your personalities are); grandpa wants his grandkids ‹///3 come on you guys, give them to him, LMAO. I kid, I kid. 

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Whenever you’re off to sleep, he’ll sit perched on your balcony or by your side, guarding you while you’re dreaming—only hoping that his presence is enough to wield off any nightmares. 

𖠵𝟏𝟗: He’s always warm because of his karmic debt, so he’s a walking heated blanket. Perfect for the colder days, but horrible for the warmer ones, LMAO.

in the summer, he’ll always pout because you sometimes have to push him off you because he can get too warm for you to handle; he likes to cradle you in his arms while you slumber ‹/3

𖠵𝟐𝟎: He knows his fallen friends would’ve ADORED you, and that thought brings him both comfort and pain; he wishes they could’ve met you at least once to see just how much of a lovable being you truly are. 

𖠵𝟐𝟏: Sometimes leaves bruises (squeezing your thighs & hips, other things). . . and marks (bite marks, hickeys) from how hard he loves you.

𖠵𝟐𝟐: He loves you so much that it sometimes drives him crazy. It’s hard for him to remain civil and under control when it comes to you—especially when you purposely press his buttons.

𖠵𝟐𝟑: Shivers and/or blushes whenever you call him Alatus. hearing you call him by his adeptal name is a turn-on for him; There, I said it.

you normally call him that when you’re upset with him or trying to grab his attention. but sometimes you just call him that just because.

𖠵𝟐𝟒: Adores it whenever you kiss the diamond on his forehead or his hands/fingers ‹/3

꒱₊˚ 𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐐𝐈𝐔 !! 𝐉𝐔𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐆𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐓

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Listen, he can be one hell of a gentleman, but he can also be a lil’ shit sometimes. Which is basically Xingqiu’s personality wrapped up. 

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Didn’t initially know much about relationships and how to pursue them—only reading about them in his novels.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Rather than jumping to conclusions, he asked you outright if what he felt for you was love. Spoiler alert: it was.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: His love for you is a neverending flame—always burning bright. It is never a secret that he loves and adores you, so you are never left feeling unloved. 

𖠵𝟎𝟓: He’s incredibly gentle with you, treating you as if you’re a precious family heirloom that’s destined to break at any minute.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Rambles about you to his dad and brother quite often. (He isn’t quite ready for you to meet them. Only because he knows he wouldn’t hear the end of their teasing—most likely ending in both of you feeling embarrassed.)

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Gently coaxes you to sit between his legs, sugarcoating his words so that he can read you some of his favorite stories while you rest peacefully against him. It doesn’t matter if you were to fall asleep; just your body pressed against him is all he needs (:

𖠵𝟎𝟖: When you two started dating, he started to call you “(my) love,” “(my) dear,” and “(my) flower.”

❝Good morning, my lovely flower. Sit up, would you? I’ve made you breakfast, perfectly assembled by yours truly. Hm? What’re you looking at me like that for? Pardon? No! Of course, I didn’t add anything nauseating! Goodness, do you not have any faith in me, my dear? Can’t I do something nice for my partner?❞

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Dedicates a lot of his stories and poems to you! ♥️

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Very observant of you, always knowing when something’s wrong or when you take a particular interest in something—he’s trained himself to take notice of smaller and simpler things when it comes to you, just in case there’s a bigger picture.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: You have to save Chongyun from his pranks more often than you’d like. Poor boy never gets a break from your boyfriend’s antics ‹///3 #Savechongyun2023

𖠵𝟏𝟐: (↑) It’s not like you’re entirely safe from them, though. Your lover can be quite the teaser sometimes. 

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Sneaks out late at night to see or take you somewhere. He loves the adrenaline and the smile on your face as you recognize it’s him gently knocking on your window.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: His kisses are very delicate and gentle—usually placing them on your fingertips and forehead.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: He has already looked at rings for you, despite being a few years away from proposing. He can’t help but daydream about the day.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: He 100% believes fate brought you two together and that no matter what parallel universe you guys might be, he’ll always find his way to you ‹3

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Rest assured, if someone is bothering you, he’ll be more than happy to take care of the situation for you. Civilly at first, but if they’re stubborn and persistent, he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty if it’s for your sake (:

𖠵𝟏𝟖: For someone who’s delicate and tone is usual of silk, he has a razor sharp tongue when it comes to harsh words against you. He doesn’t mind the words directed at him, but if it’s you, then they’re going to leave humiliated.

your lover is quite the mischievous one, which also means he might play a free pranks on him for extra good measure, hehe

𖠵𝟏𝟗: One of his oh-so-favorite things to do is slow dance with you ‹3 He loves simple and sweet moments like that.

𖠵𝟐𝟎: A deep and hopeless romantic—the trait developing from the romance books he’s read.

꒱₊˚ 𝐙𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈 !! 𝐕𝐀𝐆𝐎 𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐎

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Ah, Zhongli. . . Also quite the gentleman ‹3

𖠵𝟎𝟐: He knows how to treat you properly and makes it his job always to do so; you’re always his top priority. 

𖠵𝟎𝟑: He's protective over you, but in a gentle manner—constantly telling you to take care of and not overwork yourself. 

𖠵𝟎𝟒: One of the things that lured him to you was even when he told you his identity, you still saw him as Zhongli rather than Morax. 

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Once word got out to Hu Tao and Childe; Archons, they would NOT shut up about it, always nagging and asking him questions. 

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Despite his almost boundless knowledge of a variety of different things, he asks you to teach him many things involving mortal life and relationships.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Has a cor lapis engagement ring that’s infused with his archon powers stored safely somewhere. he used some of his geo-energy to ensure it’d be pretty indestructible. 

it also leaves elemental tracings whenever you go, so if he were to worry about you, he’d use elemental sight to find you. 

𖠵𝟎𝟖: He’s an old soul, so I see him calling you “(my) dear” and “(my) love.”

❝Ah, welcome back, my love. How were your adventures today? Tiring, I presume, based on how sluggish you look. . . Would you like me to draw you a bath and prepare some tea? It looks like you could use some spoiling.❞ 

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Gives you amazing massages when you’re feeling stressed or tense.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Buys you expensive ass gifts somehow, given his lack of understanding of using and spending mora. 

𖠵𝟏𝟏: His hands are big and warm !! I like to think he finds comparing your hand sizes amusing. The way his entire hand can wrap around yours brings a smile to his lips.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Gives the best and sometimes the worst bedtime stories as he rambles on and on without even noticing. The silver lining is that his voice helps you drift off to sleep.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Isn’t one to argue with you, preferring to solve things peacefully. In all honesty, as much as it’s nice, it can sometimes be annoying because he always answers you so calmly and stares at you lovingly whenever you’re trying to make a point against him. In simpler terms, it’s hard to be mad at him. 

𖠵𝟏𝟒: He’s threatening when he’s mad because he doesn’t show it in his expression but rather in his voice.

that said, it’s (normally) not you who he gets mad at; it’s the people who dare think they can raise their voice or lay a hand on you. 

𖠵𝟏𝟓: The feeling of being loved (relationship-wise) was, to some extent, foreign to him for a while since his first love had passed. Because of that, it took him a while to fully adapt to that kind of relationship, but the more time passed, the more comfortable he got. 

𖠵𝟏𝟔: You’ve become Xiao’s other parent, often looking after him if he’s injured and giving him advice on mortal life. And since Zhongli trusts you so much, he sometimes actually listens to you. talk about miracles. 

𖠵𝟏𝟕: He comes home with a different bouquet every time he goes out, and you’re like, “??? where the fuck are you getting these?” 

𖠵𝟏𝟖: Not many people try to mess with you, given your Zhongli’s lover and a close friend of Hu Tao—both of whom work at a funeral parlor. And if someone does ?? Well, then they just gained a new customer !!

SCENT: angst -> fluff

WARNINGS: hanahaki disease, throwing up, blood, tighnari’s a dick at first.

BAD ENDING.

FLORIST’S NOTE: a couple of things! 1: the first day remains mostly the same as the bad ending, the ending of it is different! i wanted to keep it in just in case someone’s not good with angst and just wanted to read the good ending. and 2: there’s a bigger time skip between the first day and the time they leave the forest for plot purposes.

SONG: Tek It ― Cafunè

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯2022 !! #©LOVELYNEY

YOU OBSERVED WITH DEFEATED EYES as Tighnari, yet again, swaddled your hands in gauze. You tried to take out a Withering Zone by yourself, wanting to help clear his schedule. However, despite having a vision of your own, you weren’t very familiar with the process and ended up getting hurt, much to the forest ranger’s dismay.

Your throat ran dry as you struggled to find the right words to say without upsetting him more. It was clear he was about to snap at any moment, so you chose to stay silent, despite your anxiety eating away at the stillness.

“(NAME) for the last time, stop biting off more than you can chew,” the fox-eared boy berated, his gaze as bitter as the medicine he brews. “What was the point in bothering with something you clearly had no idea how to deal with? Were you begging for a death wish?” 

You swallowed thickly, your stomach churning as he awaited your response. “My only intention was to take some of the burdens off your shoulders. . .” You answered feebly.

With an exasperated sigh, he rubbed his temples in frustration. “So you wanted to help me and ended up doing the exact opposite? Yeah, that sounds about right.

“(NAME) this is what? The fifth time you’ve gotten yourself hurt trying to ‘help?’ Don’t you realize you’re only making things harder for the both of us?” Tighnari crossed his arms against his chest, growing more impatient with you by the minute. “Archons, we’re going to run out of medical supplies if you keep getting into situations like these. Can’t you learn to take a hint?”   

The harsh tone of his voice engulfed you in shame, his words ripping your heart into shreds. “I-I just—” your attempt to defend yourself was met with the burning stare of his multicolored eyes. 

He chastised, “save it, (NAME). You give me the same exact excuse every. single. time. Taking care of you like this again is already a migraine as it is.” With that, he packed the medical supplies into his backpack, not sparing you another glance.

Tighnari criticizing and reminding you how all you do is pull everyone down had become routine by this point. He never told you directly told you burdened everyone, yet he clearly didn’t care about hurting your feelings, so you never understood why he didn’t just give it to you straight.

He never acted so rashly to the other trainees, so it led you to believe that it was personal. That said, you don’t know what you did to make him hate you so much. And to add salt to the wound, you admired Tighnari a lot. Hidden beneath his sarcastic nature, he was diligent and dedicated to his work. You could tell he cared for everyone within the confines of the forest, although you highly doubted that to be your case. 

As you carefully observed him, you not-so-surprisingly developed feelings for him. You find it hard to believe now, but he treated you gently when you first met him—by the river not too far from the ville. That memory felt so foreign after all he did was suffocate you with his accusations. Since then, you shoveled your feelings into the very back of your mind. 

“Are you even listening, (NAME)?” badgered Tighnari, snapping you out of your depressive reverie.

Nodding slowly, you chewed the inside of your cheek, feeling your emotions consume you from the inside out. “Y—Yes, of course, Master. . .”

“Really? Because ever since I got here, you’ve done nothing but stare at the ground helplessly.” He shook his head and sighed in defeat, “whatever. It’s not like you ever heed my advice anyways.

“Collei and I are going to be gone for a few days on an expedition. You are not to leave Gandhara Ville until i return. Do I make myself clear?” He said, his large ears flicking in aggravation.

That immediately grabbed your attention as your eyes shot open. You deflected, “I—I’m sorry?! Tighnari, I get that you’re mad at me and all, but I am not a child! I don’t need supervision!” Your face burned hot with humiliation as tears formed in your eyes. 

Tighnari’s eyes softened briefly at your defeated expression before returning to their normal venomous state. “Then quit giving me a reason to treat you like one, (NAME). Now, I’ll be taking my leave.” Before you could answer, he left your room, leaving you alone in your misery. 

After a few minutes of silence, Collei wandered in, her gaze saddening as she regarded your trembling figure. “Oh, (NAME). . .” she lamented and sat next to you, gingerly wrapping her arms around you. “I’m—I’m sorry. . . I don’t know why he’s been treating you so horribly lately; he’s usually never like this. . .” Muttered the girl as she rubbed circles on your back. “I’ll talk to him, o—okay? Please don’t cry. . .” 

She perked up, an idea crossing her mind. “S—say, I have an idea! Why don’t I convince him t-to let you take my place?” She recommended, holding carefully onto your hands—a hopeful shimmer in her rose-colored eyes.

Withdrawing from your friend’s hold, you rubbed away your tears with a seemingly confused expression. “Convince him to let me take your place? Do—do you mean on the expedition in a few days?” You queried. 

Collei nodded enthusiastically; her blue facade crumbled, now replaced with one of a child’s excitement. “Yeah! I’ll say that something important came up, and I can’t go!” Exclaimed the girl. 

You were about to protest, but it was the equivalent of kicking a kitten, given how optimistic she looked. “How do you know he’ll even let me go? He clearly made it evident that all i do is cause trouble. . .” You muttered, your mind replaying his exact words.

Your friend laid her hand on your shoulder, her eyes full of determination. “You leave that part to me, ok? Don’t worry about the small details.”

Tighnari peeked his head over the opening, swallowing thickly when he noticed your tear-stained cheeks. “Collei, come with me, would you? I need to have a word with you.” He dictated.

The girl stood up, “y—yes, Master!” She stood up and turned to you, carefully bringing your head to her chest once more. “Get some rest, ok? I’ll have everything figured out.” She assured before bidding you goodbye and following Tighnari out. 

After the two left your line of sight, your throat and chest tightened. Scrambling into the bathroom, you stumbled over, suddenly coughing violently. You wiped the sweat from your temple, sighing in relief when it ceased. “What brought that up?” You questioned and fluttered open your eyes. While staring downward at what appeared to be lotus petals, you suddenly felt overwhelming dizzy. Had it gotten that bad?

Your hands clutched your chest as acid burned your esophagus. You weakly shoved yourself up and flushed the toilet. You knew that hanahaki was life-threatening if not treated immediately. However, confessing seemed impossible given the circumstances of your relationship and who you’re in love with. Your other option was to have it surgically removed, but that also meant removing your capability to feel emotions. Nevertheless, you wanted to be a forest ranger like Tighnari and help people, so you’d much rather die of the flower that bloomed in your chest than be an empty husk and not feel anything. 

Laying on your bed, you watched Tighnari and Collei converse—probably about your probation if you were to be completely honest. You let out a meek laugh and closed your eyes, allowing your body and mind some well-deserved rest.

Meanwhile, Collei anxiously turned to her teacher as they surveyed Gandhara Ville. “U—Um, Master Tighnari. . . You know that trip you mentioned in a few days?” She buzzed. 

Tighnari’s ears twitched slightly at the question. “Yes? What about it?” He asked, drawing out the s in suspicion. 

Rubbing the back of her neck, she nibbled on her lip and thought about how to say it. “Well, something important came up, and I don’t think I can go. . . I-I’m sorry for the trouble! I usually brush something like this off and come back to it, but unfortunately, it’s something that can’t be pushed to the side.” She disclosed.

Tighnari arched an eyebrow, staring at the girl with curious eyes—ears flickering alongside his curiosity. “Is that what’s making you so nervous? Ever since we left (NAME)’s house, you’ve been awfully silent. I thought they maybe said something—”

“N—no! Not at all!” she butted in, causing the boy’s eyes to blink in shock. Her face flushed in humiliation at her own outburst. “S—sorry! I didn’t mean to raise my voice ike that. . .” Uttered Collei, her head lowered in embarrassment. “I don’t think (NAME) has it in them to be rude. . . Speaking of which, M—Master, I think you’re being too hard on them.”

His ears lowered, a sudden pang of guilt hitting him harder than expected. Collei typically never commented on how he acted toward others. So, to hear her comment on how he treated you, alongside his additional guilt that he also thought he was being too cutthroat with you. . .

He huffed, “. . .is that what this is about? (NAME)? Well, maybe they should learn to stop burying themself in other peoples’ work. . . They’re only making things worse.”  

The trainee winced at his sharp tongue—hearing a sliver of it herself had her wandering just how bad it had gotten to dissolve you into tears. Whatever it might’ve been, it only encouraged her more to fix the root of the problem, that being, of course, Tighnari.

“M—Master, I typically don’t intervene when it comes to your work. But (NAME)’s a really close and great friend of mine. I don’t know if you’ve personally witnessed it, but they jump at the idea of helping anyone out.

“All they want to do is help. Whether or not it works doesn’t matter to them. Even within the confines of Gandhara Ville, they’re known for helping everyone. T—They. . . I found them crying after you walked out. They looked so. . . exhausted like they were on the verge of completely breaking. I’m scared that if you continue treating them like this, they’re just gonna. . . give up completely.” 

Tighnari felt his throat tighten. “She can’t be suggesting. . .”The fox ranger quickly shook his head free of the thought, feeling his stomach flip upside down at the image. Hearing that his remarks caused you so much mental torment was enough to impale a stake through his heart, so much so that he physically felt it in his chest. 

He harshly bit down on his lip, his sharp fangs causing it to draw blood. “What’re you suggesting I do?” he questioned—desperately (yet, not so evidently) seeking advice. Given his true feelings for you, he did not want you to think he hated you. However having said that, he figured it was too late for that part.

In a feeling of relief, Collei let out a breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding. “Well, have them take my place when you guys leave, for starters? See for yourself just how willing they are to put themselves on the line for others. A—and if you’re up for it, talk to them.” She proffered.

Tighnari nodded hesitantly and repeated everything inside his mind to ensure he hadn’t missed anything. After all, not repeating his past mistakes would be vital for this to work. “Alright, I’ll see what I can do. . .”

A couple of days in, you, Tighnari, and a couple of other forest rangers were deep inside Avidya Forest, training to rid the Withering Zone nearby. Well, besides you, that is. Even though Tighnari OFFERED, that’s right, he offered you to come and help. Normally, you’d jump at the idea of helping others, but your hanahaki drained all of your energy and strength. Every time it acted up, you’d lose a lot of blood, making you light-headed. So, you opted to let them do it so as to not drag them down.

Somehow and in some way, you managed to hide the disease from everyone so far. It definitely wasn’t the easiest thing to hide, given you’re literally coughing up flower petals, but you’d hide somewhere if you sensed it coming on.

“[in between breaths] (NAME)! (NAME)! Oh, thank the Archons, you’re still here! We—we need your help!” Ishan spluttered, breaking into coughs from panting so hard. 

You jolted at the eagerness in his voice. “Woah—woah, what happened?” You worried and rushed over to him, one of your hands already on your weapon.

“There’s a-a—” the male choked on his breath as concern washed over your features.

You gently put your hand on his shoulder, trying to help steady his breathing. “Hey, hey. . . Breathe for me, ok bud? In and out. Start from the beginning.” You spoke softly, despite the deep fear pulsating in your chest. 

Ishan quickly collected himself before standing upright, panic clouded in his dark eyes. “W—We were collecting mushrooms as per Tighnari’s request, but then we came across a hilachurl camp. . . W—we thought it was empty, but then a ruin guard c-came out of the blue and—”

You indistinctively pulled out your bow at those words; you didn’t need to hear anything else. “Alright, let’s go. There’s no time to waste,” you instructed, your voice as curt as tighnari’s. he nodded, quickly leading the way to the ambush. 

Upon arrival, your eyes flew open as the ruin guard aimed right at one of the rangers. Using your anemo vision, you boosted yourself in the air and shot in before it could land a hit. 

“(N—NAME)!” the other rangers yelled as you landed on the ground with a thud. They quickly hurried behind you, not the most equipped to take on a ruin guard. 

You grit your teeth and lock your stare onto the enemy—something that Tighnari taught you. “Everyone get out of here! It’s not safe!” You urged, fingers tightening around your bow. 

“We—we can’t just leave you here!” Nasrin reasoned.

Sternly glaring at them, you shot another arrow to hold the ruin guard at bay—something that’s uncommon for you, someone who’s naturally so kind and gentle.

“I’ll be fine! now, go! hurry and find Tighnari!” you asserted, your vision glowing with your determination. 

They all looked at each other before nodding and scurrying off to find the fox ranger. Fortunately, he was already at their base camp, looking for everyone.

“Ah, there you guys are! I started to think that you all abandoned the mission.” He sighed, ears flattened against his hair. “Where have you all been any—”

“T—Tighnari! It’s-it’s (NAME)! They’re. . . they’re—” Nasrin wheezed, her panic overcoming her ability to speak correctly.

Tighnari’s heart sunk to his stomach at the mention of your name. “Woah, woah. Calm down, Nasrin. What about (NAME)? Where are they?” He questioned.

“They’re fighting a ruin guard alone! I—Ishan ran to find them after it attacked us, and when they got there, t-they told us to leave and f-find you. . .” The girl hiccuped. 

“Tighnari, you have to help them! In no way is (NAME) weak, but it’s dangerous fighting one of those alone!” Kamran, who was next to Nasrin, contended.

Without another word, Tighnari pulled out his bow, wincing when he recollected Collei’s words. “Goddamnit.” He grumbled under his breath as his fingers pushed his bangs back. “Alright, point me in the direction of where they are. Everyone stay here until I get back,” he ordered before hurrying off. “God, (NAME). Please be ok.”

Tighnari’s boots slid across the grass as he halted to a stop. His eyes widened and landed on you, who was hanging on by a thread. As soon as he reached you, he grabbed and shoved you behind him. Pulling out his bow, he aimed the arrow right at the ruin guard’s core—shooting and finishing it off.

He sighed in relief, the adrenaline starting to wear off now that you were out of harm’s way. “Thank the seven. . .” he uttered and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

[cough, cough.]

Tighnari’s ears twitched at the abrupt sound. “(NAME)? Are you alrigh—” His sentence drifted off as he noticed the blood-covered petals you held and the deep laceration on your leg. Swaying onwards, you fell forward, Tighnari catching you before you hit the ground. 

“Hey, hey! Hang in there, flower! I’m gonna carry you back to camp!” He reassured and carefully lifted you in his arms, careful not to irritate your injury furthermore. Tighnari hurried back, forcing himself to look away whenever you hacked more flowers. “Everyone! You need to head back to Gandhara Ville and get Collei and Shirin! HURRY!” He demanded urgently. 

Everyone immediately got up and ran—recognizing that Tighnari, who usually never panics, was panicking.

Tighnari sat down, cradling you in his lap. “You still with me, flower?” He whispered as he pulled out the medical supplies they brought—certainly not enough to properly treat your wound, but it was going to have to do. 

You wiped the corners of your lips and nodded weakly. The gentleness that he showed might have made you jump with joy if you weren’t on the verge of death. 

He sighed in relief, “good, good. . . Try to keep your eyes on me, mk? This is gonna hurt for a moment, but I need to get this treated before it has any chance of infection.” He gingerly wrapped your leg in gauze, his heart cracking when he noticed your pained expression.

“Alright, it’s done. There’s that dealt with,” Tighnari stressed as he tousled his hair. His gaze lingered on the bloodied petals that lay on your chest. He picked one up and gently rubbed his thumb over it, careful not to break it. “(NAME)—”

“Please don’t. . .”

His eyes widened at your weakened voice. His ears lowered shamefully, knowing you fully believed he was about to reprimand you even when you’re laboriously wounded. Clearing his throat, he adjusted his words as not to upset you further; “ah, don’t—don’t hold your breath, (NAME). I’m not going to scold you. . .” He laid his hand on your head. “I just. . . wish you would’ve told me. How. . . how long have you had it?”

You tensed at the simple yet gentle touch; you weren’t used to him treating you so warmly, and it almost made you wary of him. “Um, a few days now, I think? W—why would I bother telling you when all you do is make it seem like I’m nothing but a nuisance. . . Every single interaction we’ve had, you tell me that all I ever do is screw up. Which now that I look at it, m-maybe you were right. I do tend to make things worse when—HMPFH!”

Tighnari hushed you, gently slotting his lips onto yours. it physically hurts him to hear you talk bad about yourself—to hear back what he said to you. He’s always viewed you as a delicate flower, needing the most careful and precise supervision to ensure you don’t wither. Putting that aside, he wasn’t entirely sure why he thought kissing you was the best course of action—not when he didn’t have the slightest idea of what you thought of him. Maybe, because if he did it, it would make his feelings for you evident. And just maybe he’d been wanting to do that for a while and hoped he was the one you harbored your feelings for and you’d be cured.

As he felt you kiss back, one of his hands traveled to the back of your neck to bring you closer. Your lips, soft as the petals you coughed up, molded perfectly with his. And with each passing second, he kissed you harder, hoping to make it abundantly clear he didn’t mean a single word he said to you back then. 

After about 30 seconds, Tighnari finally pulled away, allowing you time to catch your breath. He sucked in a breath and held your face in his hands. “I’m so sorry, (NAME). I don’t think any combination of words can express that enough. In all honestly, I hid my feelings behind accusations because I was so scared you’d get yourself hurt so bad to the point that I couldn’t save you. I meant to protect you by restricting you, but I only hurt you in the process.” Dragging out a sigh, he gingerly smoothed his thumb over your cheek, brushing away any tears that might’ve fallen from your eyes. “This’ll be hard to believe after all the pain I’ve caused you, but I. . . [sighs] I love you, (NAME). So much more than you probably think. and seeing how relieved you look, I assume you feel the same. . .

“Knowing I could’ve saved you from so much pain from that awful disease if I would’ve just. . . apologized and confessed. Archons, it’s gut-wrenching to think about. . . I’m so sorry, (NAME).”

You blinked your eyes in astonishment; you couldn’t tell if what he said was the truth. He wouldn’t be that cruel, right? Despite your doubts, your chest felt lighter, which you interpreted as a sign that your hanahaki was gone. Swallowing down your fear, you squeezed Tighnari’s hand. “Can—can you kiss me again. . .?” You asked bashfully, your cheeks flaring at the absurd request

“Pardon?”

“I—I mean! Of course, y-you don’t have—hmmf!”

All your anxieties are quickly washed away as Tighnari’s lips meet yours once more. Relaxing into his arms, you looped your arms around his neck and pulled him flush against your body—the smell and warmth of him distracting you from the throbbing pain in your leg.

He pulled away after a few seconds, noticing you kept shifting uncomfortably from the pain you were in. “Ah—I’m sorry, flower. There isn’t much I can do given our lack of supplies. . .” He sympathized and pressed his lips to your forehead. Grabbing his bag, he pulled out a singular kalpalata lotus. “I was going to weave you a flower crown out of these, but I didn’t have the time to grab the necessary amount. So, this will have to do for now.” He crooned and tucked the flower in your hair. 

You let a yawn as you reached up and carefully pet its petals between your forefingers. “You don’t strike me as the type to make flower crowns,” you commented.

Tighnari chuckled, his fingers delicately running through your hair. “Hm? Well, you don’t strike me as the type to nearly take down an ruin guard alone, my lovely. But I guess I do have a knack for underestimating you.” He looked at you, smiling softly when he noticed how exhausted you looked. “Get some rest, (NAME). i can see how tired you are.” He consoled.

“You promise you won’t leave?”

His eyes softened as he leaned down to press one more kiss to your lips—an unspoken promise, an ever sea of love. 

“I never intended on doing so in a thousand years, my lotus. . .”

“Master, (NAME)!” Collei shouted frantically, trudging through the thick shrubs of the Avidya Forest.

“We came as fast as we could!” Shirin huffed, hunching over to catch her breath. “We—we hope we aren’t too lates. . .”

Tighnari shook his head reassuringly and gestured to your sleeping figure. “No, you’re not. Thank you both for coming on such short notice,” he said. “(NAME)’s asleep. . . It seems dealing with their hanahaki and fighting the ruin guard took all their energy.”

Collei’s eyes broadened as she crouched next to you, watching as your chest fell steadily up and down. She sighed in relief, “t—they didn’t tell me they hanahaki! I wouldn’t have ever suggested this to them if I knew that.”

He tilted his head curiously, his ears swaying to the side with him. “Oh? So (NAME) coming here was a plan set up by the two of you?”

The girl’s face profusely reddened, realizing she had given herself away. Letting out a quiet huff, she started helping Shirin treat your injury. “Y—yes, Master. . . I’m sorry for doing it behind your back, but they looked so defeated whenever you yelled at them. . .” She confessed. “But, unfortunately, I don’t think I can help much with their hanahaki. . . I—I mean, who do you think they have feelings for?”

Tighnari assured, “ah, you don’t need to worry about that. . .”

Shirin giggled as she finished treating your leg. “Awwe, are you and (NAME) together now, Tighnari?”

Collei’s cheeks flushed an even darker shade of red when he nodded. “H—huh?! They liked you, Master Tighnari?” She stumbled. 

His ears flattened against his head, an amused look displayed on his features. “Mhm. And I like them back. Why’s that so shocking?” He wondered.

She crossed her arms and gave him a look that said really? She conceded, “Master. . . You—you treated them like a pawn.”

Tighnari flinched, not quite expecting the sharp words to come from gentle and sweet Collei. “I know, I know. It’s a miracle they reciprocated my feelings with how poorly I treated them,” he sighed. He shook his head and looked down at you resting peacefully. “That just encourages me to take better and more efficient care of them. I’m going to make sure they blossom and in no way wilt by anyone’s words or actions. . .”

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Had to compose herself like four times before actually confessing to you; the poor girl was so nervous, lol.

she ended up writing you a love letter to save herself from tripping over her words and chickening out.

she also picked you a bouquet of various Monstandt flowers!

𖠵𝟎𝟓: When you sighed in relief with a smile, explaining that you thought she was avoiding you because you felt she was disappointed in you, she felt her heart swell with guilt.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: She was very shy and conflicted when she first started to like you because she hadn't hardcore crushed on someone since she was a little girl.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: However after all the nervousness of confessing to you, she was quick to warm up to you !!

𖠵𝟎𝟒: She cares and worries about you so much.

even if it's as simple as a scratch, she'll start to panic and immediately go into nurse mode !!

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Initially she never had written love songs before, but now it feels like that's all she writes.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Still gets flustered whenever you give her affection; she's not used to this kind of intimacy.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: You had come across that bitch Albert (that's his name, right ?? idfk, LMAO) looking at her through the windows of the church, and not only did you threaten him, you also consulted Jean because the mf deserves to be in prison.

꒱₊˚ 𝐄𝐔𝐋𝐀 !! 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐓 𝐊𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓

𖠵𝟎𝟏: She fully convinced herself that she didn’t have any chance with you because she figured the rumors got to you before she even had a chance to confess.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: However, once she told Amber, there was NO going back. The outrider was determined to get you two together.

and so, she became Eula’s wingwoman, asking you if you thought of Eula any differently because of the rumors before confirming your answers with her friend.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Her face flushed as Amber explained everything, begging her to confess to you.

she ended up caving in, doing a little reading on how she should adequately confess to you.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: She ended up confessing to you over dinner at the tavern (idek if they sell food there, LMAO, just roll with it.)

𖠵𝟎𝟓: The joy and relief weren’t very recognizable, but the small smile that graced her lips didn’t go unnoticed by you.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Sometimes calls you “(my) dear” and “(my) love.”

❝I’m sorry, I don’t intentionally mean to eavesdrop. . . But did I hear you correctly? Did you just call (NAME), my SIGNIFICANT OTHER, desperate for dating me? Now, I don’t know who in Teyvat you think you are, but you’d better keep their name out of your mouth. You can trash talk me all you’d like, but don’t you DARE label them such unruly things, or else the most devastating revenge will be inflicted on you. . .❞

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Yeah. . . she doesn’t take people putting a bad name to yours very lightly.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Teaches you her way of dancing, laughing sweetly whenever you accidentally miss a step. It’s an endearing thing to watch (:

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Always lifts your chin with her index finger before kissing you on your lips and forehead.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: She keeps you far away from her family or anyone related to her; she knows they would probably disapprove of your guys’ relationship.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Always glances at you when you two are fighting together to see if you’re holding up ok. 

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Told Amber that you make her feel like she’s more than what rumors whisper and that she’s finally doing something right.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: Has you sword train with her; she finds comfort in watching you fight because it means you can defend yourself when she’s not at your side. 

꒱₊˚ 𝐅𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐋 !! 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐙𝐄𝐙𝐙𝐈𝐍 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐈𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐆

𖠵𝟎𝟏: She heard of you from Katheryn when she asked if she could go and check up on you because you hadn’t returned from a commission in a while.

it felt like time had stopped when she saw you, watching you with eyes of sunshine as you fought fiercely, still managing to look so ethereal while doing it. she somehow managed to drown out the sound of Oz trying to get her attention.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: The pounding of her heart against her chest was enough for her to feel too nervous about going up and introducing herself, which wasn't like her in the slightest.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Upon returning to Monstandt City, the girl almost immediately ran to Mona to boast about how amazing you were and how she hoped to see you again. The astrologist immediately picked up what was happening and just stared at her friend deadpanned.

she tried to deny her feelings at first, but when Oz agreed with her, she finally came to terms with it.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: She initially started to panic, not knowing exactly what to do with the information given to her.

Mona calmed her down before giving a few pointers and advice to help her out. 

𖠵𝟎𝟓: She started by asking Katheryn to see if you mentioned any of your interests so that she could get you the appropriate gifts.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: After you cleared your last hilichurl camp for the day, she sprinted up to you, a bouquet of cecilias in her hands and a confession bursting from her lips.

keeping an eye on her, Mona waited in a nearby bush to ensure everything went smoothly.

you felt unbelievably flattered that she thought of you in such a way because you had started looking up to her after hearing stories told by Katheyrn about her. you happily accepted her confession before asking if she'd like to have a lunch date sometime. she nearly passed out from how quickly the blood rushed to her face.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: This girl loves and admires you so so much!

𖠵𝟎𝟖: She loves to call you “(my) (shining) star” and “(my) love.”

❝Ah! You're off to finish your endeavors at the Adventures Guild, my shining star? I, Fischl, shall escort you, so the shadows and darkness of this wretched world won't lay claws on you!❞ 

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Mona could write a whole story about you two, granted how much Fischl talks bout you to her.

that said, the astrologist is happy to know that you make her feel so loved. she couldn't thank you enough for that, knowing how lonely the girl was deep down, inside and out.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: She lets down her walls when it's just the two of you, allowing herself to talk to you normally and spill her feelings. she trusts you with her life, so she doesn't really think much of it.

sometimes she just doesn't have the energy to keep up the act, so when she's super tired, she'll collapse in your arms or lap, needing to bask in your warmth and comfort after a long day.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Daydreams about the day she'll marry you, making you her prince/princess. 

𖠵𝟏𝟐: Always tries to pick out the finest quality of gifts for you, claiming, “the most bewitching jewel in the universe only deserves the most unrivaled gratuity.”

𖠵𝟏𝟑: You bought her a dark purple ribbon decorated with specks of gold as a gift, which you wouldn't usually buy given the price. Still, you wanted to get something that showed how much you appreciated her. She adores it so much, but she felt so bad upon knowing the cost. She felt undeserving of it, knowing it costed you so much.

she keeps it neatly tied around her wrist every day and protects it with her life, making sure nothing bad happens to it (getting dirty, stolen, etc.)

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Loves resting against your chest to listen to your heartbeat.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: If you can fit into her clothes, she'll dress you up in them and fawn over how good you look.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: If you're out for a while and haven't returned, she'll send Oz to go and find you.

꒱₊˚ 𝐉𝐄𝐀𝐍 !! 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐊𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓

𖠵𝟎𝟏: She never really gave relationships much thought. And as a result of her busy schedule, she never considered pursuing her romantic interests.

she thought you were supposed to feel that way with your close ones, but then Lisa informed her otherwise and put the pieces together for her.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Despite Lisa’s insistent that she tell you, she explained that the knights kept her so busy that she had no time for romance.

after that, Lisa allegedly threatened that if she didn’t tell you, she would take matters into her own hands. that, of course, drew Jean’s attention, and she caved in, saying she’d figure out a way to tell you.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Jean also decided to pick up a few books on romance and read about relationships because even though she wasn’t doing this really out of her own free will, you meant the world to her, and if she did have a chance with you, she wanted to make sure she did everything right.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: When she had gone over her plans in her head a few times, she gathered a bunch of flowers and asked you if you wanted to go on a picnic out at Windrise.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: In discussing your adventures with her, she almost forgot to confess to you, distracted by how serene you looked.

but, alas, she cleared her throat and presented you the flowers she managed to conceal, anxiously expressing how she felt about you for the past few weeks.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: For the first time, she thanked Lisa’s stubbornness as you graciously acknowledged her feelings, telling her they were nothing short of reciprocated.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Congrats !! You’ve earned yourself a mom gf !!

𖠵𝟎𝟖: While she won’t call you nicknames in public, she will call you “(my) dandelion” and “hon” in private.  

❝You really know how to distract me from my work, don’t you, my little dandelion? If it were anyone else, perhaps I’d be irritated. However, since it is you, I suppose I shall indulge your advances. . .❞

𖠵𝟎𝟗: The amount of times she overworks herself has gradually decreased ever since you two started dating, and Lisa and Kaeya couldn’t be happier.

she also makes sure you don’t overwork yourself! you two take good care of each other.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Her having to deal with Lisa’s constant teasing about you.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: She’s such a sweetheart, and her constant worrying comes from just wanting the best for you.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: She wouldn’t know what to do with herself if something were to happen to you.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Doesn’t know a whole lot about dating, so if she’s stuck on something, she’ll go to Lisa for some words of advice.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: Your input on issues is something that she takes into consideration greatly. she always has you in mind one way or another.

if she’s stuck on an investigation or something of the sort, she’ll always ask for your intake, and you two will work together on it.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: You guys are seen as the “Parents of Monstandt.”

𖠵𝟏𝟔: Reserves most of her affection in more private moments so that the two of you don’t get teased.

she’ll give you forehead kisses anywhere, though. it's her way of sending protection and good luck when she's not around you.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: Barbara was absolutely thrilled to know that you might become her sibling-in-law.

she also asked Jean if she could sing at your guys’ wedding. bye, i be melting at my own headcanon, LMFAO.

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Since she’s no stranger to love, she understood at once that she had fallen in love with you.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Aside from that, she had a sneaking suspicion she would fall in love with you sooner or later due to the charm of your personality. Consequently, it wasn’t as surprising to her as it may seem.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: The problem at hand was figuring out a way to tell you. She wanted it to be flawless, the perfect confession for a perfect person per se.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: After a while of mulling over ideas in her head, she decided on getting a particular romance book and highlighting the confession.

that way, she’d discreetly confess to you, and it’d be up to you to decipher what she was trying to say.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Sat there with an innocent smile as you read through the page, your cheeks gaining a rosy hue at her message.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Made you verbally confess to her just to tease you.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Loves to call you “cutie” and “(my) darling.”

❝My darling, how come you look so tired? Has today maltreated you? Here, come sit between my legs. I’m almost done with this paperwork then, I can give you every ounce of my affection and love. Does that sound good, cutie?❞

𖠵𝟎𝟖: As much as she loves to tease you, she knows your boundaries and when to stop.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Insisted that you work as her assistant at the library so that you two could have more time together.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: She loves to be the mom of the relationship and take care of you. Especially when you’re exhausted or overworked.

takes really good care of you, and she’s persistent on doing it.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: So help anyone who dares lay a hand on you wrongfully or puts a bad name on yours. They’ll be done with the second she hears about them.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: She’s a very affectionate person no matter the place or time.

she loves carding her fingers through your hair and pressing gentle kisses down your jawline.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Shopping dates !! She absolutely loves taking you out shopping, simply because she loves to pick out clothes for you to try on. (Although she thinks you look good in just about everything.)

𖠵𝟏𝟒: She’s incredibly loyal and dedicated to you. never hesitating to decline any flirtatious advances towards her that aren’t yours.

however, she’ll always play along with your flirty remarks. she finds them cute and endearing; she always finds some way to one-up you, though.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Sometimes whenever you’re talking to someone, and she’s around, she’ll go up behind you and wrap her arms around you, nestling her nose into your neck.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: Shamefully flirts with you in front of everyone, especially if that said person has been making advances toward you.

꒱₊˚ 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐀 !! 𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

𖠵𝟎𝟏: One day, while she chatted to Fischl about something, she caught sight of you ordering from Good Hunter; you had turned around a little, and she saw how you looked (from the front) and immediately flushed red.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: While she tried denying her friend's claims that you entranced her, she knew it was, without a doubt, true.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Since then, she tried to be on the lookout for you, almost coming off a little stalkerish—but I promise she meant well. She was just too nervous about approaching you. 

𖠵𝟎𝟒: Looked up information on you with the help of her astrology, being cautious not to dive in too deep as to respect your privacy.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: Was against the concept of confessing to you, but you seemed so subdued and amiable, so she finally caved.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: Trusted the stars and galaxies that everything would fall into place for her. Or in other words, trusted everything would go smoothly.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Stumbled into you while you were out running errands and asked if you wanted to go stargazing with her—her voice quieter and softer than normal.

it was like there was the entire galaxy in her eyes when you agreed, pointing out where you lived and leaving a chaste kiss on her cheek before waving goodbye.

her heart raced as she rushed to go tell Fischl, her hand never leaving where your lips were.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: This girl loves you more than every star in the night sky combined, and she never fails to tell you so.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Loves to call you “(my) love,” “starlight,” and “hydra.”

❝Ah, what brings you to me at this time of day, hydra? If I had known you were coming, I would’ve cleaned up a little better. . . Has something happened? Are you hurt? Sick? Did someone hurt you? I swear to Celestia if someone—Oh? You-you just missed me? O-Oh, um. Why didn’t you j-just say so? Come sit on my lap!❞

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Every night before she goes to bed she thanks the stars for meeting you.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: You’re the only one that gets to see her hair down! she melts whenever you run her fingers through it.

if your hand stops or pulls away, she’ll grab it and place it back in her hair.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: She feels horrible that she can’t buy you as many gifts as she’d like, especially if you buy her lots of things.

wishes she could grab the entire galaxy and seal it in a jar for you to keep.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: Sometimes she can be a little shy when initiating affection, especially in public, but when you two are alone she’s suffocating you in her love.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: She’s teaching herself how to cook lots of different dishes so that you have a meal to come home to whenever/if you're too exhausted to cook.

that said, if you can cook, she loves your dishes !! often asking if you can teach her how to make some of them.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: Struggles to stay awake in the mornings whenever she’s snuggled up to you.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: And when the sun has clocked in for the day, she’ll find herself admiring you while you’re asleep before drifting off herself.

꒱₊˚ 𝐒𝐔𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄 !! 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐄

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Another precious baby !! She was also incredibly shy and nervous around you.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Being a good friend of Albedo's, he wanted you to meet her, but she didn't have the confidence to look you in the eyes (she found them really pretty), so she just shyly hid behind Albedo while he introduced her.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: Turned to Noelle for advice; the knight in training didn't know much herself, so she found a few books for her to skim through that would potentially help her.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: You actually ended up confessing to her before she could, and she had never felt more relieved in her life, LOL.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: That said, she ADORES you; you make her so much happier than she could ever dream of.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: She likes to call you “crystalfly” and “love.”

❝A-Ah! Welcome home, love! Y-You're home earlier than usual. Ah. . . you look so exhausted, h-have you rested at all today? U-Um, would you like to rest in my lap? I-I've also come up with a new calming potion if you'd like to take that to help relieve your stress as well.❞

𖠵𝟎𝟕: If you do happen to be stressed or overworked, she'll let you play with her ears and hair !! She loves when you do it, so it's a win-win.  

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Sometimes she finds herself thinking of you while she's researching/experiments, her head in a faraway place as she thinks about happy you make her feel.

Albedo doesn't mind at all; he finds it sweet if anything. he only really cares if she accidentally drops something and almost gets herself hurt.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: Albedo finds it fascinating that her eyes light up like stars whenever she talks about you (he often asks about how you guys are doing because he knows that she adores talking about you.)

𖠵𝟏𝟎: Looks for ways that she can help you with her alchemy. An example is a potion that relaxes you and some type of ointment that can close a deep wound.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: Sometimes you borrow her glasses and omg she melts into a puddle right there and then. If she didn't need them, she'd let you wear them 24/7 because she thinks you look so cute.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: A huge cuddle bug !! Not so much in public, but at home, she loves to be wrapped around your arms !!

𖠵𝟏𝟑: A great listener, her ears and arms are always open to you !!

WELCOME, customer, to Fawn’s Flowers !! Established in September 2022, we (mostly) pride ourself in our fresh and high quality flowers. I hope you find everything you’re looking for !! And if you need help navigating or find a fault in one of the flowers, please feel free to send me a letter. (FLORIST’S NOTE: I can and will not appease everyone—that’s asking the impossible. If you do not like something, simply scroll. I do not care if you find my writing cringe.) Or you simply just want to be friends, then I’m all for that as well !! Just shoot me a message.

SHOP RULES -> PLEASE READ !!

If you’re going to comment, please be civil and respectful of everyone—even if they’re the worse person on the planet—leave them be. I will report and block them on my own accord, i assure you. and I know the internet (TikTok, more precisely) may have told you it’s okay to shit on everyone and everything with no given reason, but that does not apply here. If you fail to regard this one rule, you will be blocked !!

Lastly, the only place you should be seeing my works is here and on my wattpad (pixellatte2k.) Anywhere else is strictly prohibited. please let me know if you see them anywhere else !!

REGARDING REQUESTING. . .

Nahida is strictly platonic/found family. Anyone who even dares suggests otherwises is immediately blocked and reported—that shit is not funny whatsoever. I don’t do smut for Chongyun, Collei, Freminet, Ga Ming and Xingqiu as well. There’s some others but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

You’re reading correctly !! I do write for Arlecchino now. And if you’re gonna ask “why isn’t so and so on here?” There are a lot of characters in Genshin, and coming up with a good amount of headcanons for each is hard enough as it is. I also run two other writing accounts on here, so there’s that too. Depending on the character, it may or may not be permanent !!

Requests are a kind of hit or miss with me. I pick and choose whether I’m confident I’m able to fulfill them. So, I promise it’s nothing personal or anything !! Smut requests are the least prioritized because I haven’t written it since 2021. (FLORIST’S NOTE: I won’t do HEAVY kinks or smut.)
