~ Second meetings and reluctant apologies ~

Synopsis: When your mother told you about Aunty Buer's nephew, who was visiting for the summer, you were expecting a kind, shy boy who loved helping out his aunty and spending time with the lonely elders and cheerful children of the neighborhood. It was quite the surprise when you found out just how mean Kunikuzushi really was. Your first encounter went poorly, and you were absolutely dreading your next meeting. You already hate him. But, a lot can change in one summer... perhaps you'll have different views of each other by the time school starts again, and Kunikuzushi has to return to Inazuma..?

a/n: Hahaha... I took forever to write this part... I'm sorry pookies 🤧🤧🤧

Kunikuzushi x Sumerian!gn!reader / no pronouns used / <3

♡ Part 1

☆.𓋼𓍊 𓆏 𓍊𓋼𓍊.☆

Kunikuzushi was a lot of work.

For someone who was constantly being praised by both your mother and his aunty, he was quite difficult to tolerate. As a person who was always quiet and reserved, you hated how obnoxious he acted at times. It’s not like he was loud or boisterous, but he was quite disrespectful, and just an overall jerk.

On your first meeting, you ended up responding to his disgusted gaze and rude remarks with some... not so nice words. You two ended up arguing, and your mother gave you an earful when you got back home. She forced you to go back to Aunty Buer’s house the next day and apologize with some sweets, which was an infuriating experience. 

☆.𓋼𓍊 𓆏 𓍊𓋼𓍊.☆

“I hate sweets.” Kunikuzushi said, crossing his arms and looking at you with an indifferent expression. It took everything in you not to glare at him as your grip tightened around the tray you were holding. You put your whole damn soul into this stupid dessert, all while your mother scolded you for arguing with him, even though it was completely his fault, and he doesn’t even like sweets? You almost feel like throwing the whole tray at his stupid face. But you don’t, because that would defeat the whole purpose of coming here today. 

“You can give them to Aunty Buer, then.” You mumble, trying not to sound irritated as you look around before setting the tray down on the table beside you. What now?? You’ve gotten the apology bit out of the way - but he hasn’t said whether he forgives you or not. All he’s done is reject the sweets that took you a painful amount of time to make. You stand there awkwardly, wondering if you should say something about it. 

“...well? What are you still doing here?” He asks. You flinch a little at the judgemental look on his face. How the hell are you supposed to word this? Internally cringing, you decide to just say it.

“Uhh... you didn’t answer my apology. Do you forgive me?” You fidget with your sleeve. You wish you could just turn around and leave, but you know that you’ll be scolded if you go back home without a clear response to your apology.

“Oh. Yeah, whatever. It’s fine.” He looked at the clock on the wall, like he had other things to be doing. You followed his gaze. “Is that it? You can leave now.” He covered a yawn behind his hand, waving you away with the other.

Gladly, You think, as you nod and glance at your shoes.

“Okay. Bye, Kunikuzushi.” You give him an awkward wave and turn around to leave. Was... was that really it? You were expecting him to insult you again, or tell you that he doesn’t forgive you. But oh well. You walk out of the living room and through the kitchen. Buer is sitting at the table with her sewing machine.

Oh, you think. So that’s why the chairs are so tall. You feel a little stupid for not realizing earlier, but you ignore it and walk to the table to say goodbye. 

“I’m going now, Aunty Buer. Thank you for having me.” You hug her, and you feel her little arms wrapping around you in return.

“No problem, [name]! Did you and Kuni make up?” She asked hopefully, taking your hand and smiling kindly at you. Her smile is so cute, you just want to eat her.

“Um, I guess so.” You respond, trying not to stare at her too much.

“Ah, I’m glad.” Her smile grows even bigger. “I know Kuni can be really mean sometimes, but he’s a good kid at heart. He’s just not very good at socializing. So please don’t be too mad at him, okay?” She gives your hand a gentle squeeze.

You almost scoff, but Aunty Buer is just too sweet. It’ll be hard, but for her sake, you’ll try not to be offended by his behavior.

“Okay, Aunty.” You smile and nod at her.

“Thank you, [name]. I’ll talk to him for you, okay?” She pats your cheek and pinches it gently.

You hesitate. You don’t want it to seem like you asked her to talk to him for you, but either way, it’s not like you can convince her not to. You’ve learned not to try and dissuade an aunty once she’s made up her mind.

“Okay. Thank you.” You give her one last hug. “Bye, Aunty. I’ll see you soon.”

“Wait, let me open the door for you.”

And with that, your little visit was over. As much as you wanted to forgive him, for Buer’s sake, you were still a little pissed off by the way that he acts. Sure, he might hate socializing, but he could definitely be a little nicer about it! But then again, maybe you’re just being petty. You look up at the sky as you walk down the street. You hold an arm over your head to protect your eyes from being burned off by the sun. Should you just get over it and be nice to him anyways? You’re still a little shocked that he forgave you so easily. Maybe you were overreacting.

You think about what Buer said to you.

“I know Kuni can be really mean sometimes, but he’s a good kid at heart. He’s just not very good at socializing. So please don’t be too mad at him, okay?”

'Kuni' was a cute nickname.

You push that thought aside as you reach your house at the end of the street. Time to relay your experience to your mother and hope that she’s satisfied with your apology.

Do you guys ever. Think that maybe with nahida, wanderer’s “ancient feeling” that made his heart twist reawakened like it did with the sick child. Do you think that the few times they would go eat out together nahida would have crumbs smeared on her face a bit and wanderer just HAS to wipe it off with a napkin. Because its uncouth for a god to be seen in such a way, with their face dirtied in public. Duh. Obviously. Or if theyre ever out and about in the city wanderer resists the urge to hold her hand so as to not lose her in the crowd, and if he does lose her he has a brief moment of panic like when a parent loses their child in public, rapidly turning his head in all directions trying to see where she went off to. He sometimes buys little trinkets or maybe even kids toys for her because he was never able to gift such things to the sick child, all he ever had was a little doll made in his image, so why not spoil the god of wisdom a bit while she’s still a child? She was imprisoned for 500 years and its not like she’ll stay a child forever, so why not let her experience things regular children do, right?

[appllelisa]

can we ao3ers please get some wanderer adopting nahida instead of her adopting him. it'd be really awesome thanks.

" A Cabbage that.....Moves? " ARANARA CAN INTERACT WITH SCARA??? they are just a big mushroom family and i love them all. My obsession's with aranara has finely allowed me to like scara haha. Nahida has her work put out for her caring for her new emo son though. decided to draw them because scara got some event time :]

[merakiui]

fwb scara........ modern college au,,, the two of you are paired up for the semester project, so at first you're only meeting for the sake of the coursework. scara would rather do it alone but, seeing as that's not an option, he deigns to trudge through this project with you in the best way he can. despite how bitter and annoying he can be at times, he is quite intelligent. he's just an ass about it. T_T he gripes and groans, but he (begrudgingly) pulls his weight.

you and scara aren't very academically compatible. where he prefers to work alone and without distraction, you procrastinate and party, claiming that these things help "boost your morale." you think scara doesn't have many friends here, but in his mind he's not going to uni to make friends. he's here to get his degree and graduate. yet somehow, for some strange reason, scara (who normally never budges and has no reason to budge for a classmate he hardly knows) allows you to talk him into going to a party.

there has to be some sort of post-nut clarity but for the aftermath of a grueling study session. there's no way he was so exhausted from working on the project that he willingly agreed to accompany you to this upcoming party. orz he must be losing his mind.

and he is because he hooks up with you at that party.

scara can't even blame it on liquid courage. neither can you, even if the both of you were just a little buzzed. perhaps it was the atmosphere? perhaps it was stress? he thinks so because, oddly enough, he feels so peaceful after the fact. as if all it took was a round of sex to momentarily numb the troubles brought on by a group project. weirdly, he doesn't regret it.

scara can't do love. even though he may occasionally contemplate how wonderful it must be, it's a troublesome thing. to love would mean to trust. to be vulnerable. to be open and honest. and not just with himself and his own feelings, but with another person as well. things scara is so unaccustomed to doing and being. but this... this is good. this is just physical. no pesky emotional attachments like love. just lust. just sex. he can do that. besides, once this project is over and the two of you go your separate ways, you'll never have any reasons to continue to meet up. this arrangement might be over by then. who can really say?

but you're both in agreement. managing the stress of this project by having sex... genius. it's great because he doesn't have to commit to anything or open any wounds. none of this means anything. he can fuck stress, annoyance, sadness, and more away. <3

so then why, months into the arrangement and on the cusp of finals, is he feeling much more than he intended? why does he feel so annoyed when you go out to parties without him or when you bring that irritating guy (ajax) along? why does he, who claimed that this was only ever loveless and physical, want it to be more than that? in spite of everything, scara hopes for the one thing he fears.

and he's not used to it.

I’ve been thinking about this all day at work I couldn’t concentrate -

Wanderer finally being ready to re visit Inazuma, but this time with you! It’s bittersweet at first, but he forgets about his bitter memories when he’s so busy showing you around and teaching you all about the food and traditions!

He even takes you to a kimono shop, and when he sees you in one he can’t help but blush.

OH YESSSS 🥺😫😫 It would be hard for him at first, considering what he learned about his past and all the things that happened there- but with a lot of reassurance from you and Nahida, he's ready to visit his home country again! When Wanderer first sees the view coming into sight on the boat his chest lurches- but he turns to look at you, and wow, you look gorgeous with those wide eyes and agape mouth as you take in the scenery from afar. And then you grab his hand and point to the pretty trees and the huge looming building and just ramble on about how nice it is- Wanderer knows that this trip will be one he'll remember for eternity.

The Nation of Eternity hasn't changed much yet, so he still remembers all of his favorite spots that are exactly how he remembers it. Inazuma City always looks prettier at night, all of the lights illuminating the city, the perfect time to stroll around. Especially in Chinju Forest. Wanderer likes it there because it's quiet and peaceful. Though he gets super embarrassed when birds and squirrels come up to perch on him. (Bake-Danukis + Wanderer = complete adorableness btw, he's found of the little creatures just like the Aranara) Not to mention there are sometimes fireworks (something he doesn't really care for but he knows you like.) Even Watatsumi island gets visited because of how badly you wanted to see the scenery!

One thing though is that Wanderer refuses to try Dango Milk haha. He's probably appalled something like that was even invented! He'd much rather you try food that fits his standards despite having no need to eat. And oh he blushes big time seeing you in a kimono 💖 Initially you were more excited at trying on the clothing of Inazuma and he was happy to indulge you- he was interested in how traditional clothing would look on you too, but you blew his expectations. He had to pull his hat down all the way to hide his blushing face and ears. You two took a secluded stroll to the highest point of Inazuma City for a little picnic and he couldn't keep his eyes off you. Completely denied it but gripped your hand tightly (his love language.) Such a nice date 💝

It still hurts a bit, to see the statues of his mother around the nation, but nevertheless, he's moving on- he's happy with you 💖

I usually only keep my current teammates in my teapot, but my Scaramouche (who I’ve called Revali) will always keep his room. Because even a Wanderer needs a place to call home v___v

......

“Traveler.”

His voice has an irritated undertone, reminiscent of long bygone days. The Traveler glances at him once -watching her from across the dinner table, his cup of tea long since empty- and sighs.

It’s been a long day of running errands. She hopes he’s not looking to start an argument.

“What’s up, Revali?”

“Why am I still staying in your teapot?”

To say the question baffles her is an understatement- why shouldn’t he be in her teapot? He has his own room to retreat to, as well as a small area outside to meditate in and practice using his newly acquired Vision.

“...what do you mean by that? Is something not to your liking?” Perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to put Inazuman-style furniture into his room. A poor choice on her behalf, it seems.

“No, no, it’s all quite alright. But... I’ve been watching how you treat your other... friends. None of them seem to have their own room, and they usually leave after having given you their Namecard. I’ve given you mine, and yet I’m still welcome to stay?”

The Traveler feels his Anemo Vision stir to life, as if signaling that its Holder is feeling... threatened, perhaps?

“Of course. I did promise your Auntie to keep an eye on you, didn’t I?”

As she begins setting the table, she feels his eyes on her- like he’s pondering over her words, not quite sure if he wants to believe them.

“So, this is more of a charity-case, yes?”

“Of course not. See, you’re free to go out and explore, if that is what you desire- but when you grow  tired of wandering, my teapot will always welcome you back home. My friends typically stay here for as long as we travel together- and return home once we part ways. Their Namecards are a nice way to remember our time together, nothing more, nothing less.”

“...”

“You’re not used to having a place to call home, I take it?”

“...it’s... not something I’m familiar with, no.”

“That’s quite alright, Revali. Just... know that you will always have a place in my teapot, for as long as you wish.”

“...thank you.”

[anemoswirlsmyheart]

These two are so cute together 😋
