AS I SAID,I AM GIVING U THIS RN

So I know am obsessed with this but I cannot find stuff like this anymore so yeah :(

So 5/6 words..

Giant venti with child human/reader

And I always ask the child thing cuz I am thing g/t things with tiny/human child is adorable….and my oc is a child…

THATS ALL TYSM FOR UR ATTENTION💕💕💕

I adore Venti so much, favorite Archon go brrrrrr. Sorry this took so long, I actually survived a tornado over the weekend, thankfully I was just visiting the area so I didn't have any damage, but a friend I knew that lived in the area did so I was helping them out. Thanks for the patience all the same <3

--------

“Little one you’re a bit far from home.” You giggled softly at the familiar breeze that wrapped around you. It smelled like Sunsettias, which was good, that meant your friend actually ate something today.

“I wanted to see you though!” You pouted as you looked up at the entrance to the broken temple place. “I got a vision!”

“Oh?” You clapped eagerly as the familiar teal eyes slowly blinked open in front of you. The big Bard pulled himself up a little so he could see you properly, ever so gently ruffling your hair with a single finger. “What element is it?”

“Anemo!” You exclaimed proudly. “Mama said Bardabatos gave me his blessing!”

Venti barely held back his laughter at the butchering of his Archon name. “I see, you must have impressed the Anemo God for sure.”

“I think he’s happy I made friends with you, Mister Bard!” You grinned, the wind gently playing around you, at your whim and Venti’s supervision. “Does that mean I get to see you stand up now?”

Venti bit back a groan. He had promised you that when you were older and gained a vision he would show you his entire form. He didn’t think it would come so soon, nor that you would remember the promise. 

“Alright little one, but we’ll have to be careful. If the wrong person sees me stand up they could hurt me.” He hummed softly, the noise causing you to giggle more as the air around you practically vibrated with the sound. “Come here, I need to make sure I don’t lose you now.”

You practically threw yourself into his open hand, the warmth of his hand was like the nicest bed in the world. You watched in awe from where you were laying on your back as he began to get up, your mind spinning like the windmills as he seemed to unfold. White fabric wrapped around him, but as you watched it slowly changed to green. Eventually he was sitting upright and you jumped up in indignation. 

“You’re not standing up!” You accused, pouting as he merely chuckled at you. 

“I can’t stand up here, I’ll break the rest of the Thousand Winds Temple little one.” Venti explained softly. “And I don’t want to scare anyone in Mondstadt that might see me from the city. They don’t know about me after all.”

“Oh right! Mister Bard is supposed to be a secret.” You sighed softly, playing with your vision. “I hope Bardabados keeps you safe from any mean people.”

“I’ll be fine, little one.” Venti smiled, slowly laying down again but on his back this time. “When you get much older, find the Dandelion Sea. I’ll show you my true height then, alright?”

“Okay!” Venti smiled at the eagerness in your voice. He watched as the sky began to burn with sunset and sent you off back to Mondstadt. He stared at the sky as the stars began to appear and smiled, tracing the new constellation in the sky. 

It looked amusingly similar to a wind sprite.

@goldrose-star @ajarofpickledtears @probably-a-plant-thing @mintgalaxia @slaasherslut @madbadash @the-pinstriped-hood

1. Glass Houses - Billy Joel

This was one of the first records I bought with my own money.

Check Out: You May Be Right

You may be right I may be crazy Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for

2. Bram Stoker's Dracula Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

I have this on CD lol. This is very special to me because this is one of my favorite movies ever, and a college friend gifted it to me when she had to move cities. I put it on while reading because the vibes are just delectably evil and eerie 🖤

Check Out: The Beginning

This plays throughout the opening scene of the movie and is just deliciously dark, the swelling crescendo with the choir and sinister whispering gives me goosebumps everytime. It's also perfect for imagining your oc's going through their villain/corruption arc hehe

Check Out: Love Song for a Vampire - Annie Lenox

This track walked so Christina Perri's Thousand Years could run. But seriously, it's such a bittersweet song. The cover by Collin Rae? Ray? I forgot his name is also good.

Oh, loneliness, oh hopelessness To search the ends of time For there is in all the world No greater love than mine

Just PINING. SO MUCH PINING.

3. Gone Now - Bleachers

I don't know what it is about this album, but something in it just scratches my brain right. The sound is very synth-y, but there's a lot of sax and sample overlays that I really like. The whole theme is about death and dissatisfaction with where you are at the moment.

Check Out: Everybody Lost Somebody

I think pain is waiting alone at the corner Tryna get myself back home, yeah Looking like everybody Knowing everybody lost somebody

4. Hozier - Hozier

Need I say more? Zero thoughts when this man comes on for real.

Check Out: In A Week (please for the love of god listen to it)

And they'd find us in a week When the cattle show fear After the insects have made their claim After the foxes have known our taste I'd be home with you I'd be home with you

Check Out: Work Song (cliché but self-explanatory I guess)

I just think about my I'm so full of love I could barely eat (HRRRRGJHKHKK HELLO???)

and

When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her (sobbing actually. Help.)

5. Wasteland Baby! - Hozier

Every song is good but this line from Would That I is just 🤌🏻✨️

I mean?!?!?

True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree Must be felled for to fight the cold Fretted fire but that was long ago

Anyway, that's it. Thanks for listening to me ramble 🫢😚

[yukikorogashi]

Beckers my love, you are an absolute sweetheart! Your talent radiates like a thousand stars shining its brilliance and warmth to all who are blessed to see it. The love and commitment I have seen you put into your work is outstanding. It is so evident, the love and care you hold for your muses, in your graphics, in your art and it never ceases to amaze and inspire me. For all that you've done to what greatness I know you will do; I am so very proud of you. Big ol' hugs from your sister from another mister!!! I LOVE U, B!! 💜💜

ANONYMOUSLY TELL ME YOUR HONEST OPINION ABOUT ME. I CAN’T REPLY, JUST PUBLISH.

A-Ahhhh! 🥺 I still don't know what I did to deserve you sometimes. You truly are like my beloved sister from another mister, and I will be forever blessed and honoured to know you for as long as I have. ❤️💕Thank you for once more spoiling me with such kind and loving words. Honestly, this message just feels like receiving the biggest and warmest hug imaginable, and I can't help but just want to hug you back as I sob gratefully into your shoulder (I'm sorry 😭).

I love you so, so much too, okay??? 🥺❤️ For me to have once admired you from afar, to now be blessed with your friendship are one of the many gifts in life that I will forever be grateful for. You are always such a remarkably bright, positive and incredibly talented bean who always leaves me in awe with anything that she does!

And seeing you always living life to the fullest warms my heart, and gives me that much needed reminder to do the very same. You just inspire me so much, and I'm forever rooting you on in all that you do. You just kick so much ass, and I hope you will continue to do so, okay? ❤️💕

Thank you for being in my life, for just being such a treasure of a pal. For being the sparkling gem that will never lose its shine and splendour. ❤️🥺

“Beau leave her alone-“ but he had already taken off across the bar, big smile stretched across his face. Marty turned to Mat who sighed.

Ginny was seated at the bar talking to some guy, who was undoubtedly rolling out his best pickup line. Mat had seen this a thousand times, and it never got these guys anywhere.

“My names Mike, and you are-?”

“Virginia James-“

“With a name like that you’d never believe she wasn’t a porn star would you?”

Ginny closed her eyes and let a breath out through her nose. She wasn’t even really interested in the guy, but she should have known her was going to come over to ruin it anyways. It had become a pattern. They would go somewhere as a group, a guy would approach her, Beau would ruin it, and she’d go home by herself with no sex. If there was photos next to definitions his would next to the word cockblock.

The guy gave a nervous chuckle and swiveled his eyes between them “Are you? Are you her boyfriend or something?”

He scoffed and shook his head “She wishes.”

Ginny stood up and left Beau standing with Mark, or whatever his name was. There would be no point in continuing to talk to him because it was just going to get ruined. As she walked to the bathroom Lauren caught her arm. She was staring wide eyed before she gave a hushed whisper.

“Kaitlin is here.” Ginny turned around and watched in horror as Kaitlin made her way across the bar and towards the bathroom. She quickly pushed back through the crowd and grabbed Beau by the arm hauling him around to face her.

“Ow. I like it a little rough but damn-“

“Where’s Mat?”

He shrugged and frowned “I don’t know why?”

“Kaitlin is here.”

His face went slightly pale and his mouth fell open “Oh shit.” He pointed over her shoulder and they hurried towards them.

“What’s u-“

“Where is Leighton?”

“I think she’s in the bathroom. What’s-“

But Ginny had already turned and bolted across the room.

“What’s going on?”

“Kaitlin’s here.”

*************

Leighton washed her hands and turned when she heard the door open. She froze.

Kaitlin was standing in the doorway staring at her, blocking her way out of the bathroom. Any other time Leighton might have felt bad for her, but after her multiple attempts of sabotage and being a thorn in her side she’d had enough.

“What do you want?”

“I want my fiancé back.”

“Well I’m sorry but I can’t help you with that.”

“I don’t know who you think you are. You ruin Mat’s life and then you come back and ruin mine.”

“I never meant for any of that to happen-“

“But it did. You came here to break us up. He was happy with me.”

“Then why did he say my name at the altar?” Leighton snapped. She was done being gracious about things, and now she was just angry.

“Because you brainwashed him. You and everyone conspired against me. He was supposed to be my husband. And you took that from me.”

“Let it go Kaitlin, and stop trying to ruin my wedding.”

“You ruined-“

The door banged open and Ginny stood in the doorway, cheeks red and eyes angry.

“What the hell is this?” She snapped. Kaitlin looked alarmed for a second and took a step back, as Ginny took a step forward. She raised a hand and Leighton thought for a second she might punch her. Beau appeared quite literally out of nowhere, hand coming to rest on Ginny’s arm. He shook his head and said “Don’t.” Before turning to Kaitlin.

“Get the hell out of here. You are not welcome.”

“I never was.” She said eyes squinted at him.

“I said get out.”

“You can’t -“

“Kaitlin.” They turned to find Mat standing in the doorway to the bathroom, expression both angry and sad “That’s enough. You need to leave.”

She stared at him for a minute, lower lip trembling before she left the bathroom eyes downcast. Leighton let out a breath and then a sob and covered her eyes. Mat was looking at his feet.

“I think it’s time to go home. Come on.” Beau reached forward and steered her out of the bathroom and into Mat’s arms.

***********

“How is she?”

Beau and Ginny were sitting in the kitchen at Mat and Leighton’s loft. He’d summoned them there later that evening.

“She’s asleep.” Mat ran a hand tiredly over his face and sighed “I feel so bad. This is ruining Leighton’s entire wedding experience…and all because I proposed to girl I didn’t even want to.”

“Don’t you mean psycho?” Ginny mumbled.

“What can we do to help?” Beau asked “As your best man and maid of dishonor.” Ginny slapped him and made them both chuckle “We’re here to help in any way we can.”

“I know but I don’t- well actually. There is one thing. Tomorrow we were supposed to head into Manhattan to finalize stuff at the venue and hotel. If you guys could go in our place that would be great.”

They gave eachother a disgusted look and a groan but nodded “For you…I guess.” Ginny said.

“Thanks. I just think she needs to take a day off.”

Beau was giving her a wide stupid smile.

Mat and Leighton were so lucky she loved them.

**********

“Hey sleepyhead. How are you feeling?” Leighton opened her eyes to find Mat sitting next to her on their bed. She closed them again.

“Just tired. But I need to get up and get ready. What time are we leaving?”

“Actually, Beau and Ginny offered to head in to finalize the rest of the stuff. I gave them the checklist and all our information. I figured maybe we could spend the day here doing whatever you want. Lounge around, order in? You need to relax.”

“They offered to go? Together?”

“They weren’t happy about it, but they love you. And they want you to rest for today.”

“O-okay. Sure.”

Mat smiled “Good. So what are we doing today?”

**********

It was pouring. Streets were flooded. And Ginny was stuck on this stupid train with with Beau and wet feet. She had hoped he would pick someplace else to sit, but he of course had situated himself across from her, and was shamelessly flirting with one of the attendants. When she walked away Ginny let out a noise of disgust.

“What?”

“Can you keep it in your pants for more than like 3 minutes at a time or is that too big a feat for you.”

“Key word being big. And I’m just flirting with her. Are you jealous?”

“Ew. Why would I be jealous? Poor girl doesn’t know she’s about to wade deep into STD infested waters.”

“I have never once had an STD. I may be a whore, but I’m not dumb.”

“If that’s your story.”

“It is. But what’s your story?”

She frowned “What do you mean?”

“No girl is this much of a bitch for no apparent reason. What’s your deal?”

“I don’t have a deal. I just don’t like you.”

He rolled his eyes “Yeah I gather, but I’ve seen you be bitchy to everyone at least once. Example, when you almost dislocated Barzy’s knee with that picture frame.”

“He deserved that one.”

“Agreed. But that still doesn’t answer my question.”

“Why do you care? What? You wanna be friends?”

“Not in the slightest, but since I’m being forced to spend time with you I wanna know. See your not just a bitch for no reason. Your more complex than that, I’ve been trying to figure you out and I’ve come to two conclusions.”

“Please. Thrall me with your explanation.”

“Either you’ve become a bitch by being burned, or you just want people to think your a bitch so you don’t get burned.”

Ginny had a pretty good poker face so anyone else wouldn’t have seen the flicker of panic across it. But he had spent enough time with her now to notice things like that. He grinned.

“Ding ding. I think I hit the nail on the head.”

“Can you just leave me alone? We don’t need to talk.” The train would be arriving in Manhattan in 10 minutes and the venue was a short 10 minute ride from there. She couldn’t wait to get away from him. He knew way too much and the idea that he had gotten in and figured her out without her even realizing it made her so uncomfortable she wanted to vomit. She clutched her bag, which they had each brought in case something happened and they weren’t able to make it back home, which she was praying didn’t happen.

When the train lurched to a stop, she stood quickly and tried to shake him but he was always one step behind her. Rain was pouring in buckets outside as a cab rolled to a stop for them and they slid inside. When it pulled up to the venue, they hurried inside and were greeted by a the director.

“Mr and Mrs Barzal welcome!” He handed each of them a champagne flute and someone behind him popped the cork and it shot out, fizzing everywhere.

“Oh we-“

“Now we’ve done everything you asked but we want you to check. After all this is your day. We want it to be perfect for you. Ah your list!” He swiped the list off the top of the folder and turned to walk way.

“We’re actually the best man and maid of honor.” Ginny took a step forward “The bride and groom had a little-Uhm pre wedding drama.”

“Psycho ex fiancé.” Beau added in.

“Oh dear. Everything is still happening right?”

“Yes of course. But they sent us here to finalize things.”

“Well then shall we?” They followed him into a large room, presumably where the ceremony would take place. It was beautiful, large stained glass windows and cathedral ceilings. The director explained where all the decor would go and Ginny checked things off her list one by one.

“This place is really amazing.” She said as she glanced around.

“For once I’m gonna have to agree.”

“Now when the music plays the bride will enter with-“ He glanced at his paper “ Her dad. Mr Beauvillier would you mind.” He gestured for them to link arms and walk down as if they were the bride and groom. He was snickering like a fool as he extended his arm to her.

This had to be an exercise in humiliation and she wasn’t sure why the universe was doing this to her. It just wasn’t fair.

He had them walk arm in arm down the aisle and turn to face each other, instructing Beau to pretend to be Mat now. Ginny felt her face get red as the director paraphrased what he would be saying during the course of the ceremony and finally finished.

“Now I’ll say If anyone has any reason these two should be married-“

“Cue Kaitlin.” Beau chuckled. Ginny snorted but smiled and shook her head.

“And then I’ll say you may kiss the bride.”

“You heard the man. Pucker up Gin.”

“If you try and kiss me, I swear I’ll punch you in the face.”

“And then we’ll do the exit, music and then reception.” He walked them through explaining where the tables would be situated and everything else.

“Is that everything?” Beau asked peering over Ginny’s shoulder at the list. She nodded.

“Looks great. Thank you.” It was only 4 pm, which meant they would have enough time to get back to Long Island.

“Nice meeting you two and tell the bride and groom were so looking forward to their special day. Will you be staying in Manhattan over night?”

“No we actually have train tickets to head back to Long Island.”

“Oh you don’t know? The train isn’t running due to weather and high winds.”

“Oh god no.” Ginny whispered. She was stuck here in Manhattan overnight with the one person in her life she disliked most.

“Great. Just great.” Beau mumbled as they bid the director goodbye.

They tried and failed for ten minutes to hail a cab, getting nothing accomplished besides getting soaked and arguing until the argument bubbled over.

“Maybe if you’d stick your fucking leg out , we could get a cab, but no. Today you decide to be respectful.”

“Shut your mouth. You think I want to be stuck out here in this weather. Why don’t you go play near that drain over there. Maybe you’ll get sucked in and drown.”

“I’d rather that than be stuck here with you for another minute.” He turned on his heel and walked forward.

“Where are you going?” She yelled.

“It’s late, it’s pouring and we aren’t getting home today. I’m getting a room and having a drink.” He pointed at a hotel at the end of the block. Begrudgingly she followed and shoved him out of the way as they made entry into the hotel. She was soaked from head to toe, thankful now more than ever they’d each brought extra clothing.

“What do you mean you only have one room?” He asked, clearly annoyed while Ginny rang out her hair and tossed it over her shoulder.

“I’m sorry sir, but there’s only one available room. Would you like it?”

“Ech. Yeah sure.” He handed over his card and filled out the paperwork before turning to her “Let’s get this over with.”

They stood as far away from one another as possible in the elevator, which was agonizingly slow.

“What’s fucking taking so long?” Ginny grumbled. She was freezing and tired and not in a good mood.

“Maybe your giant fucking attitude has exceeded the weight limit of the elevator.”

“Not maybe it’s your big head.”

“If you want to see it you only have to ask.”

“Keep it up. I’ll smother you in your sleep tonight.”

“Oooh. Scary.”

“I can’t wait till this wedding is over. If I never see you again it will be too soon.”

“Yeah well I don’t really wanna spend anymore time with you either. I realize now why your single.”

“Me? Please. This coming from he who is also single.”

“I’m single by choice. Your single because your a bitch.”

The elevator doors opened and they continued arguing loudly down the hall till they reached to door.

“And you know sometimes-!” She growled at him

“Sometimes I just wish you’d shut the fuck up.” He said angrily cutting her off and swiping the key card and opening the hotel room.

“Look this isn’t my idea of a good time either you-“

He stopped suddenly and she knocked into him, and stumbled backwards.

“What the hell-“

Peering around him she saw what had halted his movement.

There in the middle of the room was one bed. One single queen sized bed. Dread came down on her like water as it froze. Running slowly down her body and enveloping her until her blood stopped flowing and her skin turned cold.

He dropped the bag he was holding and scoffed, hands on his hips.

“If you think I’m sleeping in the same bed as you, your more cracked out than I thought.” She said dropping her bag by the door.

“You should be so lucky.”

“I should be so lucky? Yeah cuz sleeping in the same bed with a guy who’s fucked everything with a vagina on Long Island is on the top of my to do list.”

“I could be on the top of your to do list. “

Ginny stared at him for a minute, taken slightly aback by what he said. They were standing several feet apart but if someone held up a match it would have combusted at the tension between them. He dropped the suitcase, eyes never leaving hers and took a few steps forward almost touching her. She couldn’t breathe, as he leaned forward slightly, lips only a few inches from hers he finally spoke.

“I’m going down to the bar.”

And with that he turned and left the room, leaving the door open behind him as an open invitation for her to follow. Her mouth fell open as she watched him disappear around the corner.

She huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.

*************

Beau absently chewed on an ice cube, replaying the last few minutes in his brain. Something about Ginny brought out both the best and the worst in him and he wasn’t sure how.

He had really tried hard to be friends. But since the first day she had kept him at arms length, and decided she didn’t like him for no reason.

But he knew the reason. He was exactly the kind of guy girls like her steered clear of. Ginny was so used to running around breaking every fools heart, she learned to never put herself in the position to be on the receiving end of it.

It was a pretty fair assessment and he completely understood. But he hadn’t done anything personally to her to warrant that much dislike.

She still hadn’t made her way downstairs, and he wondered if she would even come down at all. Besides a few guys in suits at a table he was the only one there. Music played lowly in the background as he ordered another drink and felt a presence next to him. She was looking away from him pointedly. Changed from her clothing, long red hair in waves from being air dryed.

“I see you decided to join me.” He signaled for the bartender to get her something, and he watched the poor schmuck stumble over his words while she spoke, and then drop ice all over the floor nearly breaking the glass in the process. He finally made the drink and handed it to her with a shaky hand, and turned away face red.

“Jesus Christ.” Beau rolled his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose “ Why do you always gotta do that to people?”

“Do what?”

“Your fuck me eyes.”

“My what? What are fuck me eyes?”

“You know.” He made his eyes squint slightly and batted his eyelashes, putting a sultry expression on his face “This shit.”

Ginny smiled a real smile until she started to laugh, which made him smile. It was often she let him see this side of her.

“I don’t do that.” She chuckled taking a sip of her drink.

“You do. Why do you think guys get all weird and nervous around you. You make grown men turn into virgins on prom night when you do that.”

“Yeah well. Good.”

“I have to ask.” He said after taking another sip of his drink “How did you get involved in the whole Mat-Leighton saga?”

“Well. I introduced them actually. Leighton’s been my best friend since Kindergarten. We rode the bus together, and when Mat came to Seattle he sat next to me in English, asked about Leighton and the rest is history.”

“Mat talks very highly of you, ya know. Even before you guys got here.”

“What do you mean?”

“He just always talked about how you were a good person and a great friend to both him and Leighton. Even I have to admit I can see how much you care about both of them. Enough to almost punch Kaitlin in the bathroom.”

She smiled a little “Had you not stopped me I would have.”

“As enjoyable as it would have been, You can’t be Leighton’s maid of honor in a jail cell. Next time, go for it.”

“Any idea why she’s doing all this? I thought Mat said she was okay with it when she picked up her things.”

“As far as I know, she was. But to be honest, I think she also holds me and you accountable for what happened. I mean after all.” He gave her a side eye “Can you honestly say you supported and welcomed her in?”

She chewed on her lip “No. No I can’t. It wasn’t anything personal, but I couldn’t get on board with Mat lying to himself, and being stuck in a marriage that only would have fallen apart.”

“Agreed. I knew the minute he saw her in that coffee shop, that it was over for Kaitlin. And I’m sure it sucked for her, but I think she knew it too. I mean, how often do you see people coming between soulmates and succeeding. She’s probably just bitter, though I will say cornering Leighton in a bar bathroom is ballsy. Even for a psycho.”

“I won’t have it. She won’t ruin this day. I’ll kill her.” Ginny said, eyes squinted. She held up a fist “With my bare hands.”

He laughed for a minute and then turned to her “You know…I think this is the first time you and I have really talked? It’s kind of nice to know your not a total ice queen all the time.”

“Well. I may not particularly like you all the time, but you were there for Leighton and you barely knew her. And that means something to me. Your still a man whore.”

“Yeah well. Marriage isn’t for me. Destiny, fate, soulmates. That’s Barzy’s deal. I’m good with what I have going. I don’t need love.”

She scoffed “Wow. We actually have something in common.”

“Well it was bound to happen eventually I guess.”

“Do you not believe in love?”

“No I do. I just don’t think I’ll ever find it. Not here anyways. Just not something I’ve ever been in. You?”

“Nah. Not my thing. I prefer to watch from the outside. Besides. My standards are a little too high I think sometimes.”

“I get that. Don’t get me wrong, Having standards is a good thing, but if you haven’t found someone by now maybe you should lower them just a little.”

“No. I’d rather not. Weeds out the assholes. Besides I would hope that if I ever fall in love, whoever it may be would have high standards that I would fit.”

“Well I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that. I’m pretty sure you fit everyone’s standards.”

“And what about your standards? I’ve seen the girls you bring home. No standards.. and I definitely don’t fit them.”

He frowned drink halfway to his mouth “What? No standards? First of all, I have standards. High ones. But girls you bring home and fuck, and girls you build a life with are in two very different categories for me. Not that they can’t cross over, because sometimes they can but it hasn’t ever for me. And secondly what makes you think you don’t fit them? I’ve thought about having you into my bed about 50 different ways, but your too close to me to do that.” He finished matter of factly.

“I don’t really think I would consider us close.”

“I’m serious.” He said looking her dead in the eye” If you weren’t her best friend it would have happened already.”

He was so confident it made her sick to her stomach. But the way the light kept shining off his eyes, and the muscle that rolled in his arm when he took a drink, and the scruff on his face, and the alcohol that had begun to cloud her brain had her distracted before he spoke again.

“And besides. Don’t you hate me?”

“ I don’t-I don’t hate you. I just feel like you live in this bubble where your used to girls losing their underwear whenever you walk in a room and I think it makes you a little full of yourself is all.”

He snorted, chewing on a piece of ice but nodded “Okay. I think that’s a fair assessment. But did you ever think that maybe the reason you decided you don’t like me is because you want to lose your underwear when I walk in a room?”

She squinted at him until he burst out laughing “We were having such a nice conversation and then you had to fuck it up.”

“I’m kidding. It was a joke.”

He sighed again and scratched at the scruff on his chin before he surveyed her over the rim of his glass. “You know Gin. As much as we fight I kind of enjoy arguing with you. You’re pretty sexy when you get angry.”

She rolled her eyes and pushed her hair over her shoulder “I’m sexy all the time actually, your just too busy running around with no pants on all the time to notice.”

“Oh believe me. I’ve noticed. I don’t think you could handle it though.”

She scoffed and turned to face him fully “That sounds like a challenge.”

Damn she was hot.

He turned to face her moving closer, and leaning a strong arm on the bar. One hand came down on her thigh and the other one came around the back of her neck pulling her closer to him. He stared at her for a few moments before he pushed his face forward and kissed her roughly. She kissed back, a warm sensation pooling between her legs as his hand slid in between them.

When he pulled away he said nothing only grabbed her hand and pulled her off her barstool, throwing money down.

“Where are we going?”

“I hope your up for that challenge.”

Okay! Sooo, I remember before I fall asleep back then, I was listening to this song [Endless Love] by Jackie Chan! And i remember how much I associate this song to Zhongli and possible reincarnated!lover reader sksksu the lyrics was so romantic and heartbreaking at the same time like:

"Undo the most mysterious wait of mine. The stars are falling, wind is blowing. Finally, once again you are in the embrace of my arms. Our two hearts tremble. Believe in my unwavering sincerity. A thousand years of wait, you have my promise. No matter how much winter has passed. I will never let you go."

Zhongli waiting for his reincarnated lover bc he promised he would wait no matter what 😭😭😭 Idk i just imagine reader maybe dying during the archon war or smth and he promised that he will wait for her no matter how long like shsksgsih noooo 😭😭😭

"Every night is pierced through by heartbreaks. There is no end to my longing. I've gotten used to lonely meetings a long time ago I face it with a smile. Believe me, you chose to wait. No matter how painful it is, there is no running away. Only your warmth can save me from the endless cold."

AND THIS VERSE IS SO PERFECT LIKE SHSJSHSJSJ old schongli was reminiscing his time with you while waiting patiently for your return sjsksja he was undoubtfully lonely, but he was still holding onto your promise bc he wants to see you again 💦😭 like no matter how painful it was for him waiting without any assurance, he will do it just for you :33

"Now tightly hold my hands, and close your eyes. Please think about the times when we were deeply in love. We loved each other too much. That is why we have been in such pain. We cannot even say the words "I love you " to each other"

THE CHORUS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL TOO SJSJSJ it was sung by the girl. and i was thinking maybe they werent really lovers back then xD but just honestly pining bc they were idiots at war and its not clever to have your lover there sjska and even tho they know that they loved each other immensely, silently, they cant say it directly bc...well, not the right time.

AND IMAGINE SCHONGLI PROMISING TO YOU THAT HE WILL TELL U THOSE THREE WORDS ONCE THE WAR IS OVER AND U HELD ONTO IT BUT...BUT...yeah..😢😢

"Love is the only beautiful legend that never changes in our hearts."

Also, this is the last line of the song and this whole song is what makes me fall in love with the Chinese language honestly ehsh it sounds so poetic 😭😭 idk what would be the end of that brainrot really lmao. You could chose if it will be angsty ending where reader did get reborn but...they loved someone else lmao (childeー) or a happy end where schongli and reader united :3

anyway, this song is really lit. It was about true love that stays strong beyond the test of time. About longing and hope :3 i think zhongli had long realized that love is so beautiful as it was painful. yet it cannot be separates by time and space as true love has no distance and time. Maybe all he could do in the end is to let love as...love itself. Accept all of its sides, no matter what the outcome will be :3

Zhongli of the past: "When we meet again, I promised I'll be the one to say those three words to you first...Isn't it something to look forward to?"

HELP THIS IS SO LONG WHWJW

THIS IS.... THIS IS.... 😭😭😭💕💕💕

I'll write an end for this brainrot of yours but before I think of that I wanna share it because this is so good!!!

This is sad yet so lovely... I can't imagine how hurt must be zhongli, waiting incessantly for his lover to come back to his arms to never let her go ever again. <333

spoiler but i dont think im gonna give this an angsty ending... maybe a lil bit but not a lot <3333 neither of us deserve it.

For the WIP word ask game: 'star'. I don't care if it's obvious and easy, I want to see your WIP and it's a novel-length STAR Trek thingy, so the word 'star' has to be in there SOMEWHERE, right? It'd be so funny if it wasn't, but then I'm demanding a hint for what word to ask for. Okay, that's all, I love u, thank u, bye ♥️💝💞💗💖💖💞💕💘💞💖♥️💕💗💖💖💗💝💝💕💝💖💓💖💝💗💖❤️

i love you and all your little hearts. you get more than one just because i said so. also one that popped up when i searched 'star' that's not explicitly 'star'. because i said so

He’s already in bed staring at the glow-in-the-dark stars painted on his ceiling when Daddy comes back.

Silence is for the nights Hikaru wakes up in his quarters on the ship and watches the stars pass out the window, thinking about his family thousands of lightyears away, getting used to the dull ache in his chest that is missing them.

“Here’s the deal, Hikaru,” Jim starts, taking off in a jog towards the beamout site, “I carry you out of here, and you don’t pass out until I hand you off to Bones. Got it?” 

as for what words to ask for... any pet name/term of endearment or curse words would probably be fun
