Klee's Day in Sumeru

Also known as the Worst Idea in the History of Teyvat

Thanks to my family for helping me with the concept and execution

CW: Fluff, Klee-typical chaos, maybe a little angst

A/N: This is just a little bit of fun while I try and recharge from my long fic. probably not my most eloquent work, but right now I just need a change in pace. This is also half HC and half fic in a weird sort of way

Characters: Klee, Albedo, Tighnari, Cyno, Alhaitham, Kaveh

Who the hell came up with this idea?! not me.. ok totally me and my family. was very interesting conversation

So... I can only see this happening if Albedo came to teach a class on alchemy and couldn't find a Klee-sitter

Someone decided that after the Good Hunter Stove Incident, Kaeya would not be the best person to Klee sit and Jean is just too busy and very boring. So to Sumeru, Klee goes

Klee is extremely excited and of course promises to be on her best behavior

But still, Albedo is taking the most explosive child known to Teyvat into a great, big forest. He had an inkling starting out, but it could prove to be a bad idea

Spoiler: Tighnari has no hair by the end of it

The trip started alright. Klee is a really good kid and very wholesome.

Both Klee and Albedo were very interested in the flora and fauna, all of which is completely foreign to both of them

Unfortunately, Klee has never seen a rishboland tiger and decides to go pet the kitty cat. After all, it looks like a big version of the cats in the Cat's Tail

When it tries to scratch her, she lets loose one of her treasures and sets a small portion of the forest on fire

Tighnari, being the wonderful forest watcher that he is, comes to the rescue

Klee then receives the worst scolding she's ever gotten before.

Tighnari tries to be gentle, because Klee is obviously just a child, but the menace just set a portion of a rain forest on fire (a part of Tighnari is secretly impressed)

He offers to baby sit because he takes one look at Albedo and his frazzled look and decides that there is no way Albedo is up to handling an explosive-loving child in such a green place

After a few days of instructing Klee on the dangers of the forest, he brings her to Sumeru City to meet Cyno, Nilou, and the others

Once again, Klee promises to be on her best behavior and this time she's determined to do it

Cyno, surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) adores her. She canonically plays TCG so they play several games, though he's saddened when she doesn't understand his jokes

On the fourth day of Klee's visit to Sumeru, Tighnari turns her back over to Albedo

It might have been the worst thing he could have done

While Albedo does his lectures, Klee wanders off. She ends up finding a supposedly out of the way place to start tinkering with her treasures

It doesn't take long for a few inquisitive Kshahrewar researchers to find her and decide to help

Klee is super excited because most people try to curtail her explosive making. The researchers seem to be more enthusiastic than she is, so she happily follows them to a lab where they get to work

Not long after, Klee and the scholars have made the biggest jumpty dumpty the world has ever seen. It's also the most unstable jumpty dumpty the world has ever seen

While the researchers are recording their work (as researchers do) and Klee is smiling so gleefully, it goes boom, destroying a several rooms in the Kshahrewar Darshan.

Thankfully, due to some magical shielding one of the smarter scholars set up (shielding made in case of more explosive experiments and research topics) and a clearing of near by rooms, no one was seriously injured

Alhaitham and Kaveh are the first on the scene--Alhaitham thanks to quick reaction time and Kaveh because he was heading in that direction to start with.

Alhaitham, one of the most calm and collected people in the Akademiya, lets loose a string of blistering expletives, before going on a lecture. Every now and then Kaveh nods his agreement.

He stops when he hears Klee crying and realizes that there's a kid in the corner.

Even the serious and logical Alhaitham softens. (such is the power of Klee) He goes over and awkwardly wipes away the dust from her face.

"What happened?" he asks her, trying to tone down his voice.

A situation so far out of his expectations has him on his metaphorical heels. After all, what the hell is a scarlet clad kid doing in a Kshahrewar lab and what the hell is exploding.

Klee explains, through hiccups, that Albedo was doing something and she was bored and that the researchers were helping her build a new and improved jumpty dumpty recipe.

At this point, Cyno and Albedo had reached the origin point of the explosion.

Cyno starts interrogating the researchers while Albedo checks Klee over for injuries.

When Albedo is sure she's alright, he pulls her in for a hug.

"You have to be careful, Klee. You could hurt someone."

"The nice people said it was OK. That I could build the biggest treasure ever."

Albedo just sighs and looks over at the cowering researchers. "You shouldn't talk to strangers, Klee."

"But everyone in Mondstadt is so nice."

Archons save me. She's just too innocent.

Soon, Cyno comes over to the two visitors.

"I'm sorry for the trouble," Albedo says before the Mahamatra can speak. "Klee loves making treasures, though she almost never sets them off inside."

"The researchers are taking full responsibility. They said they approached Klee while she was tinkering with something and asked her if she wanted help building something bigger. I, personally, am not going to blame her for the recklessness of a few researchers."

"Thank you so much."

"If you'd like someone to watch over her, I can do so. I don't mind taking time off if it prevents the demolition of buildings and the destruction of more forest land."

"Please. I still have several more days of lectures and I don't have the time to watch her."

"Then I'll speak to Lesser Lord Kusanali. Perhaps the Lesser Lord would like to meet such an interesting young lady. Would you like to meet the Dendro Archon, Klee?"

"Dendro Archon? Like Lord Barbatos?"

"Mhmm."

"Please, Big Brother Cyno!"

The last few days go without a hitch, with Klee spending most of her time learning Sumeru children's games from Cyno and Nahida.

Eventually, however, it is time to return home, where the dreaded solitary confinement awaits a wayward, wholesome pyromaniac.

Little troublemaker: Big sister Klee x toddler little sister reader.

Age:2 Reader Chan is Klee's baby sister she is like her mother and big sister with the same love for explosions. Klee is her guardian while Their parents are away. I have seen many Klee x big sister reader fanfics so I decided to make Klee the big sister.

Two years ago:

Alice can be heard screaming in the delivery room while her husband sat outside with their 8 year old daughter Klee who looks worried for her mother "Daddy, is Mommy going to be ok?" The young elf asked her father who smiles down at her and ruffles the child's ash blonde hair "Of course she'll be fine dear, remember Mommy is a strong adventurer." He told Klee looking at her innocent red eyes making her smile in comfort "You two may go in now." A nurse gently said gesturing to the delivery room.

Alice was sitting on the bed cradling a little bundle wrapped in a red blanket with a four leaf clover on it.

Klee made her way to her mother who gently smiled at her "Klee meet your new little sister Y/N." She said showing the eight year old elf the baby who looked just like her and her mother.

She has the same ruby red eyes, ash blond hair and pointy ears as them but she also has a four leaf clover birth mark on her little wrist "She's so cute Mommy." Klee said as quietly as she can not wanting to scare the newborn who looked at her in curiosity "Would you like to hold her Klee?" Alice asked her daughter who nodded excitedly.

Klee sat on a wooden chair while her father took you from your mother’s arms.

He showed Klee how to hold you so she wouldn't drop you and to make sure your comfortable "Hello Y/N, I am your big sister Klee, when your older I'm gonna teach you how to use Dodoco, make and use bombs and show you how to use a catalyst." Klee said excitedly as Alice and her husband looked lovingly at their girls but the nights of Favonius were dreading  when that day comes.

End of flashback:

Klee is walking to the Favonius daycare to pick you up after she completed her commissions for the day and talked to Katherine.

She is at the front desk talking to the nice lady "Ahh welcome Klee, are you here to pick up Y/N?" She asked the young elf "Yes, Klee is here to pick Y/N up." She said happily "Alright, go on In but quietly some of the babies are still sleeping!" She said as Klee quietly walked in to see you and a few other kids playing with stuffed animals "Y/N, look who's here." Your teacher said making you look up and smile "Sissy, Sissy, sissy." You said happily waddling to your big sister who smiled back and said "Big sister Klee is here Firefly." Klee said calling you by her nickname for you as she picked you up from the ground earning a squeal from you and grabbed your diaper bag "Bye everyone." Klee said walking out with you in her arms.

As your both in town square Klee walks to the good hunter to buy food "Hi Miss Sarah, two meat and mushroom skewers please." She said giving the right amount of Mora "Of course girls." She said as Sarah is preparing the skewers she asked Klee how her commissions went as they talked they are unaware that you managed to open up Klee's backpack and grabbed a bomb.

You looked at it curiously, thinking it was a ball you wanted to see if it will bounce but the skewers were done and Klee walked out of the city carrying you in her arms walking to cider lake.

As you two are sitting on the shore, she's eating her skewer while you looked into the water to see a school of fish swimming around making you squeal in excitement while playing with the bomb.

You happily rolled it but as you did it rolled towards the lake and when it landed on the surface 'BOOM' the fish were sushi.

Klee was in shock when she saw that you got a jumpty dumpty bomb from her bag and blew up fish "Jean's going to kill me." She said fearfully looking around "Well it's never too early to go to Liyue, come on Y/N." She said picking you up and started sprinting in the direction of the dawn winery.

Jean was sitting in her office doing paperwork but stopped at the sound of an explosion near cider lake.

Sighing and placing her head in her hand she whispered "What am I going to do with those little troublemakers?" She asked herself unaware that the two girls along with a feline pink haired girl fled to Liyue and made friends with a purple haired young zombie.

It’s my first year anniversary.

[stellcluceats]

“Soo... Klee’s been waiting to ask … what exactly is the uhh... thanks of giving?.. and does it involve bombs?”

[headcannonsbutwrittenbyasnake]

Sagau! Imposter! Reader who accidentally befriends all the children in game. (Ps. Text colors are based off thier vision colors)

After getting chased out of Mondstat, they end up south of the city near a river and just hear a loud BOOM. Then this little blur of red and blonde running past them. Only for the blur to turn around and run up to them. Instead of instantly calling out her name, they let Klee introduce herself. They didn't want to freakout the kiddo, now do they?

"Hello I'm Klee!! And this is Dodoco!!! Do you wanna go fish blasting with us? My Jumpty Dumpty's make it really easy to catch a looooot of fishies!"

Seeing how destructive Klee could be reader tells Klee if she made smaller, less powerful bombs, she'd be able to go fish blasting more often without Jean knowing (little demon in the making >:)). 

Of course if Klee trust you then Albedo will as well. Although she is a child, he still trust her judgment in people.

Klee will also bring reader to Wolvendom to meet Razor! Because "Oh it's okay!! Big brother Razor doesn't like the city either!!" That or he hasn't ever seen the creators likeness in statues and books.

After meeting Klee, she brought Diona to meet reader, saying "Oh, oh! They're really nice! Even the slimes like them!" Diona has heard a lot about the 'imposter', but that was mostly from drunken adults! Diona knows better than to trust some one who drinks till they slurs their words! So Diona decides to see for herself about this so called 'Imposter'! And when they met, Diona felt a warm that made her feel at home, the warm she feels with her father when he's sober, a warmth she wants more of. With ears pulled back she approached the reader, Diona almost felt embarrassed but she didn't know why. When reader offers Diona a perfectly grilled fish (one they caught with Klee) she can tell, even if this person might be an imposter, they're a good person. Probably better than she's met at the bar she tends to. 

"*Munching on the grilled fish* Even if you share the Creator's face, you're a good person! *Munch munch* Those stupid drunkards must have been the one to put out that warent..."

(Since from what I can tell, Diona doesnt have much interaction with other characters, so no +2 characters.)

Qiqi meets Reader after she gets stuck in a loop again without anyone around to help. Thankfully they remember the fact that if she gets stuck like this, all you need to do is hug her and tell her "I love you the most," until she gets unstuck. And that's what reader did. Qiqi felt warmth, nothing like the rot inducing warmth she felt on hot days, but the warmth she had seen between family members- one the she so desperately craved. So for a good hour afterwards Qiqi followed reader around like a lost puppy. Until it started to get dark, reader tries to get Qiqi to go back to Liyue Harbor, telling her that Baizhu would miss her, but all they got back was 

"Mister Baizhu doesn't really care about Qiqi...Qiqi want to stay with you." In the end you both agree on a regular meeting place, writing it down in Qiqi notebook so she doesn't forget it, but for some reason, memories about you- even the most insignificant ones- stay completely clear. No fog or forgotten names. It's something she with hold close to her heart and never let go.

Shockingly the two people you meet through Qiqi are Xiao and Hu Tao. Xiao because I just like the idea that he's pretty much Qiqi's guard (or grumpy big brother) when she goes to find Qingxin and Violetgrass. 

It's actually Qiqi who brings Reader to Xiao say "Gege is nice, although Qiqi can't remember how exactly." And yeah Xiao's first reacting includes a pole-arm, but the second Qiqi stands between you two he lowers it, begrudgingly.

Hu Tao met reader when Qiqi was while Qiqi was out collecting herbs (with reader's help), 

Hu tao was helping a spirit near by seeing Qiqi, Hu Tao remembers the time she tried to burry her and, still feeling bad, Hu Tao tried talking and trying to make friends with Qiqi. Accidentally ignoring Liyue's most wanted, Qiqi hides behind reader. Reader, now scared they are gonna get shish kabob-ed, is greeted by a smile. "Hey! You're that so called 'Imposter', right? Aiyaya, you've caused quite the stir in the Qixing! Don't worry, from what I've been told, you haven't even claimed to be the creator. Hm? Who told me that? Hmhm! You don't need to worry about that!"

(Hu tao & Klee mains don't kill me I skipped their banners)

While hiding out in Inazuma reader fell asleep under a tree in Chinji Forest with some bake-danuki. Waking up after a few hours, feeling a new weight on their lap, they just assume its just another bake-danuki who just wants to cuddle so reader just put their hand on it... Only to feel fabric. Oh no... Looking down they saw a child. Well if Mondstat taught them anything, a child can be the strongest in their entire organization. (i.e Klee). Being as careful as they could Reader tried to slowly move out from underneath the kid, but...

"*Yaaaawn* What time is it? Or did that Shrine maiden find me again?... Oh you woke up! *Another yawn* I'm Sayu, sorry for sleeping on you, but you where just so warm and those bake-danuki looked so comfy that I couldn't resist." You couldn't even be angry at little Sayu, her little yawns and rubbing the sleepiness out of her eyes was just to cute! You just told her that she could lay back down,and that you didn't mind! Once Sayu woke up again and was fully awake she fully noticed who you where. "Oh, you're that imposter right? I don't really care about that, but the shuumatsuban does. I really just want to sleep so I can grow tall..." You tell her that its fine and she could nap around you all she want, you won't rat her out. "Even though all of Inazuma is after you, you're still so nice. I don't get it. Hm? You can't find it in yourself to be mad at them? I don't really understand why, but if that's what you think then maybe you really are the Creator."

The two other Characters reader meets are Ayaka and Itto!

She got word that Sayu was missing again. So seeing as she was stressed and her legs where quite stiff she decided taking a walk and looking for Sayu herself would be the best bet. While walking in Chinji Forest she heard Sayu's voice. "Okay, now tuck your upper body forwards and pull your knees into your chest. Oh! And don't forget to protect your head, It hurts really bad to hit it on the ground!" And another "Sayu, i don't think I could really bend that way, let alone roll around like that," Hmmm, that was an unknown voice? She did hear rumors about the Creator's imposter being seen in Inazuma, so she peaked around the tree and took a look at this unknown voice... ... ... So this is the imposter? The supposedly evil that wishes to take over Tayvet? Although Ayaka tried her best to not underestimate people, but... This person doesn't seem evil at all! She knows that they could just be acting kind, but if it was an act, Sayu surely would have noticed? "Uh oh," Well she always knew stealth wasn't her strong suit. Coming out from behind the tree she started speaking. "Sayu is this where you go every time you disappear? Although I can't really blame you." Ayaka and Reader ended up talking for a while, while Sayu took a nap on their lap. Ayaka learned that Reader never claimed to be the Creator, they didn't even know the god existed! She was shocked! Being falsely accused of impersonating a god you didn't even know existed, well it's insane to say the least! "I'm sorry that the Nations have turned their backs on you, and that the Archons have let this injustice carry on... What? The Archons where the ones to lead the hunt? Even the Anemo one? This is pure insanity! Hypocrisy! I will see if I can use my standing in the Kamisato clan to get you any safety, even if its just food and clean water, I'll see if I can do anything to help," Ayaka, being so strong willed about this, even moved her brother. Although this may put their social standing and place with the Raiden Shogun at risk, they don't care. That was the first warm bath and full meal you've had in a while.

For how Itto met Reader, well it was strange to say the least. 

Reader came back from grabbing some sunsettias in time to see Aratikki Itto pat Sayu on the head. "Hey! Don't treat me like some kid and dont pat me on the head!"  "Woah! Of you don't want to be pet then don't look so pet-able!" Sayu saw the Bake-danuki following reader she pointed at them. "There! Go pet them! Aren't they pet-able!" Upon seeing the gaint oni man come at them scarily fast they where greeted by a chipper, yet softer voice. Probably after seeing how nervous reader is."WOOOAH How do you get them all to follow you like that? The second I get close to them they usual disappear in a puff of smoke!" Itto said while watching Reader hand a sunsettia to Sayu, then splitting one in halfs for the two bake-danukis behind them to share. "I don't really know... Animals just seem to follow me?" They watched them dig in using their cute little hands, happily stuffing their faces. They held out a sunsettia in Itto's direction, "You want one too?" During the three sharing sunsettias, the thought of the imposter never even crossed Itto's mind. He never really cared for the gods anyway, even if he was thankful the Creator gave the world Grandma Oni! He thinks this person would fit right in with the Arattaki gang.

Hey Albedo! Sucrose says you've been working really hard and I wanted to bring you something to keep you company...Ta-da! An extra fluffy, non-explosive and super cutesy, Jumpty Dumpty! I hope you like it!

- @boom-boom-bombs ♡

Non-explosive... Now that's rare. I'm proud of you, Klee. It's simply a stuffed animal at this point and making them requires skill. Thank you.

~Albedo

[cutesy-pink]

I suddenly thought of this when I was reading MC slaughtering the ruin guards lookalike. What if MC was like Klee? I imagined it would be like this

MC: Wait. That big metal moving stuff broke down my dorm.

MC: *Takes out some bombs from her backpack* It's revenge time!!!

During MC's blasting

Vil and Jamil: I dunno whether I should be grateful or scared.

Grim is too busy helping MC to roast the robots to care.

After all the robots are being blasted to dust and nearly all buildings are burning:

MC: I love my handywork. Now lemme go fish blasting.

Idia overblots after seeing all his hardworks in pieces.

All of the students are scared and traumatised by MC. MC smiled proudly.

MC to the robots: boom boom bakudan :3

Everyone else in the background: -chaos-

But seriously, I think idia will overblot from seeing his beloved creations tear into shreds, especially with such cute bombs too!

Meanwhile all previous overblots are just either sweating profusely or are thanking the seven repeatedly that they didn't do anything extreme lest they'll be at the end of those bombs.

But Octavinelle better watch out cause MC might be fish blasting in their dorm instead.

Everyone else: wtf is all that noise?

MC: -bombing Octavinelle dorm- Jumpty Dumpty >:D

The dorm: -screaming in terror-

And not to mention someone would eventually have to be Jean to keep them in like, a very thin leash.

But Grim and MC, together, is a very, very dangerous combination. With Grim's ruthless flames, and MC's terrifying bombs it's like deciding to let every monster in Teyvat come at you with terrifying speed.

And to make it worse, let's say that MC kept the bombs inside their bags and no one noticed.

After MC incinerates the robots completely with their bombs, everyone is scrambling to know how they managed to keep those things inside without any of them going off?!

MC just smiles and says "that's a secret~!"

And now everyone tries not to piss them off, since their bag can't be suspended without them going off.

On a fluffier note, MC would retell stories about the ruinguards and how they slaughtered them.

MC: And that's why you should pack food when going out! :)

Ace, hiding behind Jack: YOU GOT LAUNCHED WITH MISSILES?!

Deuce, shaking and hugging Grim: THEY CAN JUMP ON YOU?!

Epel: ..are you sure you're okay?-

MC: yep :)

It was then that everyone avoided and at the same time tried to console MC for a couple of days.

But on the other hand if MC does end up getting pissed, well..

Let's just say that Sebek was loud, but not for the right reasons.

Adventures With Klee

Albedo's out on an expedition deep in Dragonspine so Sucrose and I are on Klee-watching duty. It's only for a few days, how hard could it be?

Day 1- Klee nearly exploded Sucrose's garden today. Nothing was destroyed, but it gave Sucrose a heart attack.

"Watch out!"

BOOM

"Don't touch that-"

BOOM

"Klee!"

BOOM

Sucrose gave a slight sigh of defeat. She looked at you with a pleading look.

You smiled and walked over to the Spark Knight. "Klee? Sweetheart, I think that's enough playing with Jumpty Dumpty for today."

"Awww, okay..." The little girl handed you her bag and walked over to the mint haired alchemist. "I'm sowwy for exploding things in your lab."

"Oh, it's- um." Sucrose patted the girl's hat. "Just don't do it again, okay?"

"Okay..."

Day 2- Klee was kept in solitary confinement with Jean today, (something about exploding fish in Starfell Lake?) so Sucrose and I tidied up the place.

You cleared spare papers off the shelves, occasionally stopping to read a few. "So..." You said in an attempt of conversation. "The Tetritan- Tetratanic sweet flower?"

The alchemist became a slight shade of pink. "It's just a little something for the Windblume festival." Her voice seemed to shrink with her confidence.

"You think you could tell me about it sweetie?"

"I-if you're really interested, sure!"

The two of you sat down with the paper in hand, though it soon laid forgotten to the side as Sucrose ranted on the flower.

"The seeds are four times bigger than ordinary Sweet Flowers, and the Tetratanic Sweet Flower is the final product! Bigger, stronger, sweeter, and more beautiful-" She yelped to a stop. "Sorry, sorry I'm rambling."

"I thought it was cute. You get all enthusiastic." You respond, making Sucrose's gaze try to look anywhere else.

Day 3- Klee has returned from solitary confinement and wishes to draw. I am no Albedo, but I will try my best.

Klee returned as if she hadn't left at all. Despite her time in confinement she still remained a little ball of energy. She reached into her bag and you became afraid. You didn't have the energy to play with Jumpty Dumpty today. You feel relief when she grabs a pad of paper and coloring tools.

"Can we do some sketches?" She asked, giving you puppy dog eyes.

"Alright, alright. Don't bring out the doll eyes." You reprimanded. "What are we sketching today?"

"Traveler and Paimon!" Klee shouted excitedly. She turned around and waved to the Traveler and their fairy companion.

"Hey...Paimon was told there would be food." The pixie said.

"I'll pay you with a Sunshine Sprat later." You promise.

Sucrose tried to insist she wasn't one for drawing but turns out you had a similar effect on her as Klee did on you, she just couldn't say no. In about thirty minutes or so you help a big reveal and showed off your portraits.

"Hey! Paimon isn't emergency food!" The pixie sputtered in indignance after acknowledging your canvas.

"Sorry, couldn't help myself." You replied sheepishly.

Day 4- Today we must accompany Klee into the woods...what could she be hiding in here? She just keeps calling it "my treasure"...should I be worried?

"It should be right over here!" Klee said as she skipped over rocks and roots.

"What exactly is it?" Sucrose mused.

"It's a surprise treasure!" Klee giggled. "C'mon!"

You sprinted through Wolvendom trying to keep up with the Spark Knight. She halted to a stop in front of a pile of dirt with a sign sticking out of it.

"Tada! My treasure's in here!"

Sucrose blew the dirt off with her Vision and Klee dragged out the small box.

"When Bennett, Razor and I were adventuring a few days ago, we found these plants and thought Ms. Sucrose would like to see them." She opened the box that held Glaze Lilies and Silk Flowers. "Bennett said they were from Liyu-Liyue!" Klee said proudly.

Sucrose started to tear up. She dropped on her knees and hugged the kid. "Awww Klee!" You joined in on the hug and spent the rest of the afternoon talking about the flora.

Day 5- The afternoon of the day was calm, merely Sucrose and I teaching Klee to read.

"A long, long time ago, in the fo-forest?" Klee struggled to read the purple book in her hands. She looked at you for confirmation.

"Very good, you're doing great." You applauded.

She smiled and looked back down at the book. "In the forest kingdom...what leg dends?"

You snickered a little and pulled Klee onto your lap. She pouted a little at the sight of your face. You shook your head. "No, no sweetie I'm not laughing at you, I promise. That word is legends, okay?"

Klee nodded and yawned. "Can we finish later? Klee's eyes hurt."

"Of course," You said. Within seconds the girl was snoozing, her head leaning against your chest. Her tiny snores eventually lulled you to sleep.

Sucrose walked over in the night, spending a few minutes to capture the sight of the heartwarming scene. She squeezed beside you and joined the group hug formation of the nap, her head leaning against yours.

You woke up before the other two, smiling. The alchemist still had her glasses on, her breathe short and sweet. Klee had curled into you, trying to keep warm.

Tomorrow Albedo was to return, and your family would be complete.

Day 6- Albedo returned today, and Klee couldn't have been any more excited. She insisted on showing Albedo everything we did, though she left out the solitary confinement...

"Brother Albedo!" Klee exclaimed. She jumped onto the Chief Alchemist in a hug, which Albedo quickly accepted. "Why did you have to go for so looong?"

"It was only a couple days Klee."

"But it felt like forever!" The young girl complained. Her expression switched from sad to ecstatic in a snap. "You're back now though, I want to show you the things we did!"

She rummaged through her bag and pulled out her collection from the week; the Jumpty Dumpty Sucrose helped her make, the sketch of Traveler and Paimon, the small box of flowers, and she then made the alchemist sit down.

"Mx. Y/N and Ms. Sucrose taught Klee how to read! Listen!" She picked up the book and sat down. "A long, long time ago, in the forest kingdom... What legends occurred there?"

Albedo smiled and patted the girl's head. "My, my, you have been busy."

Summary: The times that Klee and Albedo tell each other to breathe.

AO3

The paintbrush dashed across the canvas, and in turn, something true came to life.

On the grassy plains of Mondstadt’s surrounding areas, a boy stood silent, a palette of colour in one hand, the brush in the other. Gently, he curved those colours across the blank sheet, splashes of blue and green and brown, the boars that roamed the plains recreated in paint and chalk outlines.

These boars were unremarkable, but that in itself was what made them noteworthy. Such a contradiction shouldn’t have made sense, but to the boy, it was perfect enough to immortalise. Hilichurls and Abyss Mages took to these lands like they were their own, but still the boars persisted, living free and unafraid. At any moment, they could be hunted, for sport or for food, and yet the few before him had survived their entire lives out in an unforgiving world.

Now they lived immortal in his image. Caught up in his work, he paid no attention to the passing of time around him, how the sun crossed the sky, how the wind danced across his skin, the Anemo Archon’s quiet blessing. Another brushstroke here and there brought his vision closer to completion. The boars continued to graze. The grass was emerald green, and if he mixed his colours just right, then maybe—

A distant explosion had him pausing. The boy turned his head, a single strand of pale hair falling into his eyes as he searched for the source. Somewhere over the hills, it seemed, far enough from him that he needn’t pay it any mind. Were the Knights of Favonius out exterminating vermin today? He wondered, idly, if Sucrose was with them, though he didn’t identify any sort of Anemo traces in the air from this far away. Another boom in the air, and he cast the thought aside, returning his attention to his art.

Life stilled around him once more. That was it. The boars carried on quietly. The colours melded together. Three boars, quiet, content, living beings, born from the soil and destined to return to it. They breathed, interacted with the elements, survived—

An explosion shook the air, so close that it rattled his canvas. The boy stopped still, a frown on his face, because he was certain he knew that sound. And he knew that intensity.

And he knew that brand of giggling.

He opened his mouth to shout, to cry, wait—but he was a fraction too late. The sight before him erupted into fire and chaos as an explosion roared and took out every single sign of life in front of him. The grass flamed, the boars that had survived their entire lives out on the plain now little more than charred carcasses before him. He stared at the carnage in front of him, the canvas still depicting his quiet moment from moments before, wordless at the sight.

And then, from the smoke and disaster, a tiny figure came sprinting out, arms at her side, eyes wide. She skidded to a stop before the boy, planting her hands on her hips, looking immensely pleased with herself. “Albedo! Did you see Jumpty Dumpty! It went boom!”

Albedo looked beyond her, to where the grass was still burning, smoke rising up into the sky. “Klee…? Why did it have to be here?”

He knew better than to question her intentions, because her intentions were always cause the biggest explosion possible. She beamed at him, and then, spotting his canvas, she bolted up to it. “Oh! Oh! Were you drawing again? It looks really good!”

“I was…up until you decided to blow my subjects up, yes.” Albedo looked between the smoking grass, the charred meat that was cooking in the fire, and his art, which was miraculously unscathed. “How did you…why were you…where’s Jean?”

Klee giggled. “Master Jean is busy today, so she let me go exploring! I wanted to try out some of my treasures, but Kaeya says that ‘explosion inside city wall, grounded be thy woe’, so here I am!”

She admired his painting as he looked down at his colours and wondered if he should add the fires to his painting. It was hardly an interesting specimen to recreate.

“They look really cool, Albedo is so good at making pictures!” Klee sat on the ground in front of it and watched the flames rise. “I didn’t know you’d be here, I just got lucky! I haven’t seen you in a while…you’re always so busy, but now we can hang out, right? Maybe we can play with my treasures?”

Playing with her treasures was a shortcut to a fiery doom, but he couldn’t deny that her words instilled a sense of guilt in him. So caught up in his alchemic studies as of late, all his time had been spent with Timaeus and Sucrose. He’d been hanging up his do not disturb sign constantly, and Klee had been all but left to her own (chaotic) devices. “Sorry, Klee. I didn’t realise you wanted my attention. Seeing as the boars are all…well, halfway to becoming a sticky honey roast, I suppose I can spare some time to play with you. Not that it was exactly how I saw my day going.”

“Oh! Oh! Can we find a cooking pot? Can you make Woodland Dream? I love when you cook, Albedo! It’s just like when you do your alchemy stuff, like, you go poof and then…bam! You make something new!”

Her enthusiasm might have been infectious to someone else, but fortunately, Albedo had been blessed with the ability to remain calm and casual-minded in her presence. “Considering we have plenty of fresh meat right here, Woodland Dream seems like a waste.”

“But if you make that, then I can go and get all the fishes with Jumpty Dumpty! We can play, and then we can eat! And then you can draw. Maybe you can draw me?”

She hopped up as Albedo considered her request. He hardly ever used his skills to paint that which did not pique his interest in the realm of alchemy, but she’d asked so earnestly. Would it be so wasteful to dedicate a couple of hours to produce happiness?

“Albedo?”

He looked down. The fire was beginning to die away now behind Klee, the grass singed and blackened. She adjusted her backpack, and he said, “Yes?”

“You should breathe,” she said, smiling impossibly wide. “Come on, let’s go! We’ve got fishes to get!”

And then she was gone, dashing off across the plains, and he realised that she was right. In his pursuit of life, in his creation of art, he had not taken a single breath in. He closed his eyes and did as she asked, allowing himself the mimicry of human necessity. Nobody noticed, except her, and she didn’t question it.

In the distance, she turned and shouted, “Albedo! I’m gonna leave you behind if you don’t hurry!”

Packing up his art supplies, he chased after her, thoughts of eruptions in the back of his mind. It was going to be a long day, keeping her from wanton destruction, but at least she’d be happy—and he couldn’t deny that a day spent with her wouldn’t brighten his spirits regardless.

***

The outskirts of Dragonspine mountain were bitterly cold, the water close to freezing entirely, and yet the moment Klee went beneath the surface, Albedo didn’t hesitate to dive beneath.

It wasn’t supposed to be serious. He’d asked the traveller and her floating companion for assistance in collecting Starsilver for an alchemical recipe, and yet Lumine had shown up on the mountain side with Klee in tow, claiming that she’d been with her when he’d sent word to Mondstadt that he wished for her help, and that she refused to stay behind.

“It’ll be fine!” Paimon had declared in Lumine’s lieu. “Paimon thinks that even if things go bang, at least it’ll be nice and warm!”

“And we can always cook you over one of her open flames if things start looking dire,” Lumine added, looking a little smug.

Klee had been giggling then, but that had been before they’d run into the Lawachurl, before the lumbering beast had picked her up in its great hands and thrown her through the air. Her scream still rang out in his ears. Life born from soil was so fragile, and that was what he’d thought when he’d watched, helpless, as she hit the water and sank beneath it.

He had not thought through his plan, he’d just acted, tossing aside his sword and abandoning the traveller to the battle. The cold had not been a factor in his mind. The fight was forgotten. Miss Alice’s words echoed in his skull, treat her like a real younger sister!

Elder brothers protected their siblings. The traveller had told him stories of her own brother, how she would do anything to find him. She’d also mentioned the Fatui Harbinger who would do anything for the sake of his baby brother, and he knew of Diluc’s loyalty to his own non-blood sibling, how the rift between him and Kaeya had not prevented him from coming to his aid before. Albedo was not related to Klee, but she was his sister nonetheless, and that meant he had to save her.

The water was akin to ice, but his body withstood it, powered by something more than adrenaline. His eyes stung, but there she was, floating lifelessly, a small body so still, and something surged in his chest, emotion that he did not often feel, emotion that overtook his thoughts, his logic.

He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to his chest, and oh, she was still a child, still so tiny, with so much power but as fragile as every other being. He thought of the boars she’d taken the lives of that day before his canvas, how she’d ended their existence with the childish joy of an exploded bomb, and he thought of the Lawachurl and its base desire to attack. They were not the same, yet they were; life was inexplicably difficult to understand.

He broke the surface, not choking or hacking, but that was normal for him. Klee did not move. There were no coughs, no groans, no cracking open of her eyes. She was limp in his arms, drenched through and frozen in his arms.

“Klee!” Albedo shouted, the roar of the Lawachurl’s fierce battle with Lumine nearly sweeping away his voice. He kicked his legs to keep them afloat, but he was losing his strength fast, the cold sweeping it away. “Wake up!”

Still, she didn’t move. She hung there in his grasp, and it was then that he realised that she wasn’t breathing. Fear gripped his heart as he dragged her through the water to the snowy bank. He had to hope that Lumine could hold it off without him. He had to hope that there was still enough of Klee left in her body for him to save.

Pushing back his shivers, he laid her on the snow and tipped her head back. Acting on instinct more than thought, he pressed the heel of his hand to her chest, one hand instead of two, not wanting to hurt her with his actions, but wanting to keep her with him through any means necessary.

Usually, he brought things to life through the act of creation, through alchemy, through his paintbrush and his clever mind. This was different. Klee was already living, he just had to keep her that way, and in his experience, keeping something alive was almost always more difficult than giving it a pulse. Practicality and alchemic practices went hand-in-hand, and yet here he was, doubting himself.

He pressed down. One compression. Two. Three. Keeping track of the time between them as Lumine shouted behind him, as the Anemo Archon’s winds whipped across his skin, as the unforgiving bitterness of Dragonspine bit deep into his bones of chalk. Albedo thought of blooming flowers, of exploding bombs, and he thought of Miss Alice and his own chest splintered beneath the pressure.

“Breathe, Klee!” he cried. “Breathe!”

And she did. She choked. Water expelled itself from her lungs as Albedo sat back to give her space. He heard the thump of the Lawachurl hitting the ground behind him, and, trusting Lumine to finish it off, he gave Klee all his attention.

As her breathing calmed, he asked, “Are you okay? Klee, speak to me.”

“Too much water…” she whispered, reaching out her arms to him. “I was scared…”

He knelt in front of her and answered her request silently, pulling her close to his chest as she buried her head into his. Alive. She was still frozen but she was alive.

“Your catalyst,” he said. “Your Vision. Use it.”

Between them, Pyro erupted, warmth in a different sense than her usual explosions. It swept through him and her both, and into his chest, she said, “You rescued me, Albedo…”

“Of course I did.”

And as she wrapped her tiny arms back around him, she said, “Breathe too, please?”

He closed his eyes and did. In and out in time with her, soil and chalk. The oxygen did nothing for him, but it did everything for her, so he followed her lead, this girl full of energy and life, his family until the end.

“Woodland Dream when we get back,” he said. “I promise.”

She held onto him tight, and he listened to her breaths, the cold forgotten, the fear draining away.

He could breathe for her as much as she needed him to.

shuirohane asked: ❛ Have you been playing with matches again? ❜. [bennett/klee]

@shuirohane​

;;~ Klee twirls around holding a match in her hand ready to set off her Jumpy Dumpty supreme surprise when suddenly she heard a voice behind her and jumps before holding the match behind her hand , unlit of course. She noticed the Chaotic adventurer and smiled before commenting out. 

 “No.. well that depends,  are you going to tell on Klee, if Klee tells you what’s going on?”

[stellcluceats]

tiredstudents asked:

Klee and Barbra could make very cute friends to be honest!

@tiredstudents​

;;~ “Klee loves Big Sister Barbara.. she has such a pretty voice and she’s so sweet and kind to everyone.” The young adventuring explorer popped p her head over the stone wall as she looked at him with a bright smile.

 “You really think that big sister Barbara and I could be friends!” Klee of course asks this out in pure excitement, enjoying the thought of spending time with the pretty deaconess.

@dawnoctua​ - <3 for a starter from Klee to Dulic |have fun babysitting her|

;;~ Today was just one of those normal days in Mondstadt, the birds were chipping the sun was shinning and everyone was happy on the peaceful day in the city of freedom.

 “....”

‘BOOOM!!’  The sound echoed through the hills of the lands, and water began to ran from the sky without a cloud in sight, in return it seems fish started to plop against the stone covered trails as if they were fallen gifts from the archon gods above, some accidently smacking patrons around the area, in the head.

A slight red dressed figured cheer out as she stood by a shaken river bank as she cheers out with loud voice. 

 “Whoa! that was awesome fish blasting!.. I need to try the other, but I was right my project was a success!” The mischievous female was waiting for by the water writing down something in her book before she noticed a certain bartender who walked away from towns entrance.

 “Oh! Master Dulic, your here and just in time, want to go fish blasting with me?”
