★ masterlist ★

– age 4

(Y/N) sat on the window sill as she watched two raindrops racing down that ended up colliding into each other and becoming one.

eyes widening like she just thought of an idea, " mama! " she called for her mother. " yes, honey? " she replied.

" can i go play in the rain with sho!? "

------

" sure, sweetie but we'll have to ask mrs. guizhong first. "

humming a sound of excited agreement, she took her mother's hand and pulled her even though she isn't strong enough.

" let's get you dressed for the occasion first " her mother picked her up and took her to her bedroom.

" alright, do you remember what i told you? "

" yes! to be polite, mama! " she replied doing a small salute.

smiling at her daughter's cuteness, she rang the doorbell.

a faint " please wait a moment, i'll be there! " was heard.

as the door opened, they were met the beautiful face of mrs. guizhong. " oh! (M/N) and (Y/N), are you two here for xiao? "

" guizhong, hello! ahhaha.. (Y/N) here wanted to play in the rain with xiao. "

" sure! you can leave (Y/N) here, i'll go get him. " she smiled,

" thank you, guizhong. now please behave (Y/N). "

(Y/N) dressed in her rabbit raincoat holding another person's hand that seems to belong to xiao, in his cat raincoat. as they both laugh together in the rain while jumping from one rain puddle to another.

" sho! "

" (N/N)! "

" sho, let's promise to play in the puddle together at any time we can get forever and ever! " she said,

" hmhm, okay! " he replied,

as they both intertwined their small pinky together.

– age 8

the rain had already disappeared, (Y/N), xiao and ganyu are at the park with guizhong.

ganyu was sitting next to guizhong as she practiced her drawing while guizhong was monitering (Y/N) and xiao at the playground.

as (Y/N) looked around, she spotted a.. what's that? a rain puddle!

eyes brightening, she shook xiao's shoulders.

" what is it? "

" sho! sho! look! a rain puddle! " grabbing his hand and dragging him to the puddle,

" woaaaww!! " she exclaimed.

" woah! let's do it! "

nodding her head, they grabbed both of each others' hands and jumped in the puddle.

" xiao! (Y/N)! " guizhong exclaimed, " don't wet your clothes! "

as they both stopped, they looked into each other's eyes, " uh oh. "

– age 12

xiao was over at (Y/N)'s house, helping her mother bake cookies " his favourite cookies second to his mother's " as he had said.

" xiao, it's okay. thank you for the help. " (M/N) said, " you can go play with (Y/N), i'll call you two when the cookies are ready. "

nodding his head, he turned and went to the living room where (Y/N) is laying on the couch upside down.

seeing xiao, she brightens up " sho! sho! look outside, it's raining! "

" i can see that (Y/N) and it's xiao, not sho. " he said,

" right, right.. sho! come look! " grabbing xiao's hand, she dragged him to the window.

staring at the rain together, she began, " so... "

quirking an eyebrow at her, he nodded for her to continue,

" remember the promise we made 8 years ago..? "

he groaned as she smirked at him.

" yeah yeah, i do (Y/N) "

" then let's go! "

" wait, wait, wait wha- "

she laughed as they both ran to the backyard with their hands intertwined.

playing in the backyard in the rain as their clothes got wet, they didn't hear (Y/N)'s mother calling them.

" (Y/N)? xiao? the cookies are ready! " she called

not receiving an answer, she went into the living room just to find out the two children are gone. " xiao?! (Y/N)!? " she exclaimed,

hearing laughter from the backyard, she looked out the window and was shocked to see two kids with soaked clothes playing in the rain.

" xiao! (Y/N)! come back inside, you'll get sick! "

– age 16

sitting inside the classroom, she stared out at the pouring rain.

she was too focused on the rain to hear the sound of the classroom door open until she felt two arms snaked around her waist.

turning around, she was met with the rare, warm smile of her boyfriend, " xiao.. "

smiling, he averted his eyes to the window " are you looking out the window again? " hmming as to say that he is correct, she pushed her face further to his chest.

taking her cheeks with his hands, he rested his forehead on hers as their nose touched, he stared at her lovingly

" remember the promise we made 12 years ago..? " he said,

laughing softly, she replied, " yeah, yeah, i do.. "

" then let's go. " giving (Y/N) her schoolbag, he intertwined his hand with hers.

as they reached the front of the school, xiao took out an umbrella and opened it.

the two childhood used-to-be friends, now lovebirds walked home together, sharing an umbrella as they held hands, stepped on rain puddles, and laughed together.

" aether! good morning! "

smiling back, " good morning, (Y/N). how did you sleep? "

she sighed " my sleep would've been better if i had your sweater, huhu.. "

hearing this he started to feel blood rushing to his cheeks, " you- "

" anyways! aether, i made you something! "

" oh no.. she didn't. (Y/N) made me for me. "

" aether... you're so lucky!! " xinyan said with the others nodding their head in agreement.

" yeah! (Y/N) is totally wife material! " chongyun exclaimed as he tried to calm down the hotness.

" w-wife material?! i mean.. i guess she is... " aether replied while his whole face is blushing refusingly.

part two

★ masterlist ★

before the electro archon wanted to step down from her status, she didn't think that she had to listen to her younger sister gush all and about a wandering white haired with a red streak and funny way of talking samurai.

" ei-neesan! i just saw a cute person while i was taking a walk! "

" ei-neesan! he has white hair with a red streak! "

" ei-neesan, why does he looks so beautifully calm and peaceful everyday?! "

" ei-neesan! his friend likes to tease him, oh my sister! "

" ei-neesan! he's a wandering samurai! "

" ei-neesan! he doesn't know that i was gazing at him from afar and also his way of talking is funny! "

" ei-neesan, i just learn his name! kaedehara kazuha! "

every single day it is all about this kaedehara kazuha, a samurai that ei doesn't know or even care about. until one day, (Y/N) was met with a surprised.

" (Y/N), i am handing you the title of the "raiden shogun". "

------

nowadays, inazuma has been as peaceful as ever. except.. at the tenshukaku, yikes forever...

" kazuha... kazuha.. uwaah kazuha.. when are you going to return home? " (Y/N) sighs

she is just laying on the floor of the tenshukaku as she waits for her still-is-a-crush to return, wanting to take a nap for a bit she closes her eyes.. until the door bursts open

" shogun-sama! "

" you dare how to disturb the shogun's nap- "

" the wandering samurai, kaedehara kazuha has return from his voyage! "

" kazuha?! " hearing his family name made her eyes shine, " kazuha, kazuha is back?!! "

------

back at the docks of ritou where the ship of the crux fleet is stopped,

" aether, thoma's resided on ritou for quite some time now. it wouldn't be going too far to say he's the fixer around these parts. " beidou says, " if you run into any problems here, just talk to thoma. but if he tries to pull any moves on you, I'll be sure to deal with him personally the next time i'm around. "

" hehehe, no need to worry. i'm sure we'll get along just fine. " thoma laughs,

" good. then if it's all settled, i'll be going. " beidou turns just to stop, " wait, actually.. you wouldn't mind the crew staying here for a bit right, thoma? after all i can't wait to witness the interaction of a certain samurai and somebody important. " she faces kazuha and winks at him.

" c'mon kazuha, let's join then. " said tomo, " i'm agreeing with captain beidou though, i really can't wait. " earning a groan from kazuha.

" of course! you are welcome to stay here for a bit. i'll take care of everything! " thoma begins, " though, i have a pretty good idea of who you're talking about, captain beidou. "

" they seem to really like teasing kazuha, huh.. " aether and paimon deadpan as the group laughs, " but who is the important person that's beidou is talkin— "

" kazuhaa!!!!! "

turning to the sound of a familiar voice, beidou and tomo start to cackle while thoma smiles sympathetically and kazuha flinch.

as he was about to turn away, the figure suddenly appears in front of him and grabs him in a bone-crushing embrace. " kazuha, my beloved! you're finally back home! " she said, " shogun-sama, please, you're crushing me.. " he replied.

" beloved..? shogun-sama...? " paimon repeats, " you're the raiden shogun!?! and.. and kazuha is your beloved?!?!? "

" of cours— ", " no, i am not. "

" c'mon kazuha, why don't you give lady shogun a chance? " tomo teases, " i can't even count how many stunts she pulled to confesses to kazuha! " beidou laughs.

(Y/N) turns to aether and gasps, " you must be the legendary traveler! you probably already know my name, have you met zhongli?! what about venti!? hehe, i haven't visited liyue and mondstadt in so long! "

not giving aether a chance to reply, she turns back to kazuha and take his hand. " kazuha, let's go! i have something to tell you! " the group wave as the two idiots in love walk away.

" oh dear.. "

------

" KAZUHA, I LOVE YOU! " she shouts while they're both at the top of narukami shrine, " i'm sorry! " he replies back softly.

" kazuha, please accept my love confession specially prepared for you! " as both of them are on amakane island, " i'm sorry, lady shogun! " while yoimiya activates fireworks in the night sky.

" kazuha! this beautifully made sandwich is for you! i made it with my love and eternity! " she presents him the sandwhich, " thank you, shogun-sama, but i'm sorry i can't accept your love! " as they both have a pinic in chinju forest.

" 万葉、大好きだよ！！" she said as they both have a duel in the tenshukaku, " ごめんなさい、将軍さま！" he replies.

translations:

- kazuha i love you!!

- i'm sorry, shogun-sama!

knock knock, opening the door to his room there stood (Y/N) sobbing while she's soak in rain, " kazuha.. kazuha! why won't you love me back? " she sobs, " my lady shogun, there's no way that it'll be raining in the tenshukaku. " he says. as said archon sighs, tomo appears beside her with a watering hose and a frown, " sorry, shogun-sama.. i thought it would've work. "

------

sigh.. sigh... sigh.. SIGHHHH...

" can you stop sighing for at least 5 seconds? " ei asks, " we're in the royal hot springs at least quiet down a bit. "

" but.. but like... kazuha! "

yae laughs, " i believe you should try to make him realize his feelings for you fufu.. "

suddenly having a small flashback, (Y/N) remembered " my lady shogun.. ",

" oh my god! i remember now! he said 'MY' ! " she screams, " what about it? " ei questions. " ei-neesan! he said MY, that's the first time he said it! ever! " she splashes water in ei's face.

" (Y/N) you sure look really happy right now. " yae chuckles, " what are you going to do now? "

" i am happy! super super happy, he said i'm his!! " her face beams of happiness as she suddenly stands up, ei shrieks

" (Y/N)!! YOU'RE NOT WEARING CLOTHES! "

★ masterlist ★

upon arriving at grand narukami shrine, aether was greeted with,

" why hello... if it isn't the triumphant traveler. and why might you be visiting the shrine? a sign of piety, perhaps? "

" you literally told us to come meet you here! " exclaimed paimon.

chuckling, she said " i was just joking, we've been waiting for you. "

" what do you mean by we? " aether asked, " well, i'll tell you but you intend to travel all over teyvat, and the time has come for the inazuma leg of your trip to come to an end, has it not?"

" as a mark of my gratitude, i will answer any questions you may have about the road ahead or the events of the past. what would you like to know about? "

------

after about thousands of questions asked by aether and paimon, they finally decided " we have no more questions. "

" are you sure? okay then. oh, traveler, do you still have the omamori i gave you? "

" of course. i'll keep it in a safe place. "

" keep it safe? is that all you intend to do with it? there was me thinking that you might hang it around your neck to show off to the world, telling everyone who inquired that it was given to you by none other than yae miko, the wise and beautiful. "

" who in their right mind would do that!? " paimon cried

yae laughed " hehehe... okay, i'll stop. now, a favour from me. "

" a favour..? " the traveler and his companion asked simultaneously. " yes! yes! a favour, only you can complete this, traveler. " she said as she clapped her hand twice and a shrine maiden appeared right next to her, " yes, guuji yae. "

" bring her out of her comfort zone please, " she smiled

a few minutes later, they were met with someone who looks similar to yae miko. " traveler, this is my adorably cute little sister! " yae said.

" you have a sister!?? " paimon exclaimed, " fufu.. of course, i do! isn't she cute!? so traveler, this favour. "

" she's the favour!? "

" of course not! maybe, but anyways i just want you to take her on a stroll! make her realize the beauty of inazuma and the best part of all.. make sure to take lots and lots! of pictures... uuufufufu i can't wait! "

" miko-neesan, do i really have to? "

" you must! you have to do other things instead of laying around and only clean the shrine in the middle of the night. "

" but i- " cutting her sister off, yae pushed her to the traveler's side, " now now, no buts. alright then! have fun and bring her back by midnight! "

------

" paimon and aether.. " she hmmed, " you guys look familiar, "

" familiar? you've seen us around before? " paimon asked, as (Y/N) is looking back and forth from aether to paimon she suddenly brighten up. " oh, paimon and aether! the blond-haired traveler and their mysterious flying pet that was on the wanted poster! " paimon shrieked " what! paimon isn't a "mysterious flying pet"! paimon is paimon! " as she stomped her feet in the air.

chuckling softly, the shrine maiden took hold of the traveler's wrist and pulled him along with her " (Y-Y/N), where are we going? " he asked, " where else other than the amazing kaminami restaurant of course! and then we're going to miko-neesan's publishing house, uuuoo i really need to stock up on new novels!! "

「 yae never said her sister is this energetic! 」 aether thought, " woahhh! we're going to eat lots of foods right?! " paimon asked as they reached kaminami restaurant. when they sat down, anna came to them " hello! welcome to kiminami restaurant, the first and last stop for gourmet culture in inazuma. " she introduced,

" hi anna, can we get one special mushroom pizza please! "

" of course, i'll be right back! please wait a moment. "

" so aether is paying. " (Y/N) said as paimon nodded in agreement.

" what!? "

------

" paimon thinks that we should take a picture with ms. hina for yae. " paimon said, " ooh, yes! c'mon aether! "

as aether was asking a passerby to take a picture of them, (Y/N) and paimon were thinking of poses. they ended up with aether and (Y/N) at both sides of ms. hina and paimon floating above her.

" that was fun. " (Y/N) said, " i think miko-neesan would really like the pictures! "

" paimon wants a copy of the picture! "

...

" aether. "

" yes, (Y/N)? "

" i want dango milk. " ...

imediately taking (Y/N)'s hand, he began

" let's go to tomoki's food stand then, "

" aether, the dango milk is really good! " she said as she made sparkling eyes at him, " try it! " without giving aether a choice she just stuck the bottle to his mouth.

" it's amazing isn't it? no wonder ei-neesan really loves it! "

" you know traveler, that's technically an indirect kiss. " paimon said as said traveler exploded in red hues, " n-n-no! no, yeah yeah no it's not.. "

" fuwa～! now i'm tired... " gazing at (Y/N) who looks like a tired fox made him even more of a strawberry than he already is. " why don't we go to the komore teahouse to rest? give taorumaru a visit too. "

" taroumaru! the cute dog! "

------

" woof! "

" taroumaru! who's a good boy? yes you are! " as she's playing with said dog, " taroumaru's an amazing doggy! you are the good boy! " aether suddenly remembers the time, " wait a minute.. "

" IT'S ALREADY MIDNIGHT?! "

it was a miracle for (Y/N) that kazuha agreed to help move her stuff out of her room, considering that he's always busy with reciting poems or practicing with his bandmates.

well, the thing is.. he really isn't that helpful...

" (Y/N), did your license suspended? "

" kazu, i don't driv- "

" because you are driving me crazy. "

she dropped the box full of books as she tried not to groan and he started laughing. " it's not funny " she said,

" you're really hot when you talk back " kazuha replied.

" you're supposed to help me move my boxes! " (Y/N) cried, " not giving me cheesy pick-up lines every 10 seconds!! " he giggled back, " alright sure, darling. i'll take the heavy box. "

she squirmed as he called her darling. taking notice of this, he decided to let her survive his teasing until the starry night appears.

after moving a few boxes out of her room, " (Y/N) " he dragged the last syllable of her name. hearing a faint " yes? " from the other room he said, " can you come here for a bit? "

" what is it? " head popped out from the doorway. smiling lovingly at her, " can you feel my sweater for a bit, the material is kind of itchy " he said.

" oh, sure? " it came out more as a question instead of a reply.

missing his mischievous smile she started feeling his sweater.

" do you feel it? " he asked.

" hm.. it feels perfectly fine, isn't your sweater made out of cotton? "

" really? " he tilted his head a bit, " i thought it's made out of boyfriend material.. "

stopping in her track, she deadpanned at him as he tried to keep in his laughter but hysterically failed.

morning sunshine (´｡• ω •｡`) ♡

blinking away the drowsiness in your eyes, you turn to your left side just to meet the sight of your empty cold bed, your husband nowhere to be found. huffing in tiredness, you close your eyes until you heard a chuckle from the doorway. “ good morning, sweetheart. “ his soft voice sending happiness to your body just like when you both said "i love you." to each other for the first time in highschool, “ i just made you breakfast, please don’t go back to sleep yet. “ he giggles.

as his footsteps are getting closer, you sit back up to lay on the headboard. “ good morning, darling.. “ he smiles at your sleepy response. kissing your forehead, he put the breakfast tray in front of you and joins you in bed. “ enjoy your breakfast first then you can go back to sleep. “ nodding at his idea, you take a bite of his deliciously made with lots and lots of love breakfast as your husband rest his head against your shoulder while the morning sunshine blooms.

˚꒰ ෆ◞˚ notes: this is my first time writing a fanfic, please be nice and wait for me to improve! i had this idea for a few days already but now i finally decided to take a big L and write a fanfic (´；ω；`)

★ masterlist ★

it was during the summer when everything changed.

aether was walking through the campus hall, doing nothing except listening to music on his earphones. class starts in 30 minutes, so he had a few minutes to spare. nearly every student was in the hallway but then...

one blob of (H/C) caught his eyes. stopping in his track, he put his focus on the blob. it was getting clearer by the seconds, that is when he realized that it was one of his homeroom classmates, (Y/N). she walk passed him, talking to her friends.

aether's eyes followed her, he had been fancied by her since the first day of the semester.

classes started 20 minutes ago. sitting at one of the back rows, he was already dreading for this class to end. suddenly the door was slam opened, in came a girl trying to catch her breath.

" s-sorry for being late! " she said, " i may or may not have woken up late and got distracted by a pet store on the way here, haha... "

" ah, ms. (L/N) is it? " the professor smiled, " do not worry, please find a seat and sit down. " nodding rapidly, she went and sat down three rows before him.

as the class resumed, aether can't help but kept his eyes on the girl, already making conversations with the person beside her.

it had already been months since that day and he still remember it clear as the sky. now there were falling orange leaves everywhere, it is truly a peaceful day. the (H/C) blob was already gone from his eyesight. sighing, aether decided to return to class.

the day ended, he thought that it would be nice to take a stroll at the park. entering the park, the scenery was calm and refreshing. nearing the big lake until he saw the same blob from this afternoon.

「 (Y/N).. 」 he thought, the said girl is standing a few steps away from him, one hand holding a drink another her phone.

her skirt was flowing with the wind, staring into the distance. with the perfect setting, aether can't help but steal a picture of her. just as he looked up, she was walking away, another quick glance and he saw a ribbon falling out from her bag.

he continued his track and picked up the ribbon. realizing that she could be far away already, he hurried to give it back.

there was a tap on her shoulder, she turned around and was shocked to see the warm blonde-haired boy with a braided ponytail that she had been crushing on ever since she saw him in the hallways.

" ah..haha, hey! " he said, " uhh...you dropped this. "

she took it and quickly said, " oh! thank you, aether.. "

he was surprised that she knew his name but smiled nonetheless.

there was an awkward tension surrounding them, as (Y/N) was trying to think of something to say, aether started " um.. y'know, I know this is the first time we literally ever talked but do you want to hang out someday? " as she was processing his words, (Y/N) stuttered out

" s-sure! yes, yes i would love to! " nodding rapidly, the same motion she did on the first day.

he giggles, " alright, here's my number. talk to you later! "

awed by the sound of his giggles, she only nodded and watched him walk away when he was out of ear-shot. she started squealing and did a little dance.

after their little interaction, both of them quickly became closer than ever. some even thought that they were a couple but they quickly denied it.

today was the day that they decided to hang out at a small and cozy café. walking in the café, arms linked together with smiles on their faces, looking like a perfect, cute couple. but are they really a couple? no, they're not.. not yet

after ordering their food, they went to sit at a table by the window. " so, how are your studies going? " aether started, " uuunghh.. can we not talk about school? let's talk about ourselves instead! " (Y/N) replied.

he laughed, " sure sure, what do you want to know? "

" well.... i noticed that you're always walking back home with your sister, lumine! and.. i was wondering- "

" haha, i thought we were going to talk about ourselves. not about my sister. " he cut her off. " she's related to you! it's the same thing! "

he deadpanned at her. " fine, fine! " she scoffs " if we're going to talk about ourselves then... "

aether titled his head a little bit in question.

founding the little action adorable, she can't help but let a bit of red appear across her cheeks. she coughs " uhh.. do you have anyone that you're crushing on?! " when he heard that question, it was as if his brain stopped working.

"uh.. uhh.. i... i..." aether stuttered, " you..? "

" of course! i-i mean.. maybe? probably? i do like them but i'm not sure if they also reciprocate my feelings.. " he smiled sadly, " oh, oh! well, that person is very lucky to be liked by you! i hope they return your feelings! " she said, a little too quickly.

" i do hope so. what about you though? "

" me! ... right, me. umm, i don't think i like anyone for me but there's.. there's this boy.. " his heart dropped, " he's really cute! and nice, like! like, he's really nice to everyone and i like that about him. when he was walking through the halls with his earphones on too, i really can't get any confidence to talk to him though.. " aether was listening to his crush talking about another boy.

" that's.. he sounds like an amazing guy! " she nodded quickly as to agree with him, " well, i hope you talk to him because he is really a lucky guy to have you. " he smiled. " i will, i will talk to him. thanks, aether! "

" your welcome. "

as they left the café, they both had agreed to walk around the park.

there was a comfortable silence between them, each thinking about their own crush. stopping under a maple tree..

" (Y/N). " he began, " yes, aether? "

the sound of his name rolling out of her mouth made him melt inside.

staring directly in her eyes lovingly, " i really want you to know that, i.. i really like you. do you want to go on.. a date! with me? " the expression she made as she was comprehending his words shouldn't have a lot of effects on him. finally, she started

" you..! me? you like me?! oh my god, i.. yes, yes i do want to go on a date with you! " he smiled sweetly as he watched her blush redden.

wrapping one of his hands around her waist, another resting on her cheek. " can i..? ", she looked up and nodded.

as they kissed under a maple tree.
