🦅Al haitham🦅

🦅 The first and only one to best him in a test, a geometry test to be specific. He only came in at 99% while you come in at a perfect 100%

🦅 At first refused to believe that a mere art nerd could get a better score than him and so with as much delicacy as a bull in a china shop Al haitham came up to you and asked you how you got your score

🦅 Being randomly approached by the school’s smartest student you were very nervous and told him that you just did what you learned from class. Seeing that you won’t give him the answer he asks for you to tutor him which you agreed to go it, mostly because you were very nervous under his sharp gaze

🦅 While tutoring it became apparent that you sucked at explaining things to him, don’t get him wrong he already knows the material he just wants to know how and why you got a 100. As these sessions went Al haitham saw how your hands would glide across the paper, the delicacy almost amazed him

🦅 Slowly but surely Al haitham realized that there was more to your shy exterior. You were sassy and quick witted, you could even match his intellect on many topics, he finds himself feeling that he on an equal level with you.

🦅 Now he looks forward to your tutoring sessions, recently you two won’t do any tutoring just do your homework and talk about anything on your mind, the same mind that he finds so interesting and beautiful

🪭Ayaka Kamisato 🪭

🪭 The two of you have seen each other in the hallway before and after classes. She would always see you with a sketchbook in your hands or drawing in it. You didn’t take up too much real estate in her mind, the poor girl has too much going on as the daughter of the Kamisato family. That was until one day where Ayaka was leaving cram school and her chauffeur was stuck in traffic, she was approached by an older man

“What’s a girl like you doing out so late?”

“I’m leaving cram school, sir.”

“Cram school? You kids work so hard, I can show you a good time.”

“Uh, no thank you, sir.”

“C’mon, don’t be so stuck up, live a little-”

“What’s the problem?!”

🪭 There you are, yelling at the top of your lungs, she can tell that you’re scared but you still yell drawing more attention to yourself and the creep in question. Once a lot of people are watching the scene the creep walks off leaving you and her alone

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I am. I’m sorry that you had to step in.” Ayaka bows her head

“Don’t worry, I saw that you were uncomfortable so I decided to step in. See you around.” You waved goodbye as you walked off and her chauffeur pulled up

🪭 Later Ayaka came to learn that you didn’t know of the prestige that came with the Kamisato name. You came up and scared off the guy of your own volition, thinking that she was just an ordinary girl who needed to be rescued and that is what she’ll continue being to you

🪭 It wouldn’t be hard since you two are in different grades, you being her senior by a year. You would both meet up in a quiet cafe you work at, she learned that it was your family’s business and work there to help your family and to earn some pocket money. The two of you got so close that you even let her look through your sketchbook and Ayaka was amazed by your skills

🪭 When you offered to draw a portrait of her she jumped at the offer. So one day at your family’s cafe you presented her a drawing of her. You drew her as a swordswoman dressed in traditional Inazuman clothing and armor, she profusely thanked you and framed it the moment she got home

🪭 There are some nights where if she can’t sleep mainly because of nerves she’ll take your drawing and look at it, thinking about you would quell her anxiety and give her the best of dreams. Just don’t tell her brother, she’s afraid he’ll scare you off

❄️Kaeya❄️

❄️ Is the complete opposite of his adopted brother, he’s known as the school’s flirt and a total playboy. He makes girls and guys alike go head over heels for him, and you, the new transfer student, is on his radar

❄️ He lives for making innocent things like you into a flustered little mess. So when he sauntered over to you and threw his usual flirty remarks, he wasn’t met with a sheepish face nor an oblivious one. No he was met with a look of disgust

❄️ Without saying anything you walked away from him, leaving him bewildered. Did he do something wrong? Everyone falls for him. Refusing to take this laying down Kaeya decides to find out why weren’t you under his spell

❄️ And so he began to make an attempt to learn more about you, your likes and your dislikes, or your hobbies. At first you would just ignore him when he would try to strike up a conversation and after a few weeks he decided to make a deal with you

“Are you serious?” You asked

“Dead serious. We’ll act as friends and if you still can’t stand me in 2 months, then we’ll stop. Does that sound good?”

“Only if you promise to leave me alone after?”

“If you still can’t stand me.” Kaeya threw his signature smirk

“Ugh fine! But no flirting!”

“I make no promises~”

❄️ The two of you tried to act as friends, before it was awkward but soon you got used to his presence and you slowly began to come out of your shell, finally showing your true colors after about 3 weeks of “friendship”

❄️ Kaeya finds himself laughing at your jokes, actually laughing and not the fake laugh he would do when he’s trying to fuck somebody. Now Kaeya’s heart thumps whenever you would laugh at something or wave at him in the hallway. Oh gods, is he in love?!

❄️ He wishes he didn’t have the reputation he has, he wants more than your body, he wants your heart

🪡Chiori🪡

🪡 The president of the sewing club. Chiori and her club members have made various designs, many of them for the theater group whenever they’re putting on a performance. However the best designers have their slow movements, not being able to come up with any designs that are up to their standards. That is what plaguing Chiori

🪡 One day she finds a random sketchbook in the sewing club. Curiosity getting the best of the young seamstress she flips through the book, there she sees the most beautiful character designs, the obvious inspiration from big names like Chanel, Gucci, and Thierry Mugler, but the person who made these designs are unique to them. It all gives Chiori a surge of inspiration

🪡 Immediately she opens up her own sketchbook and begins drafting up some designs, some are amazing but others don’t compare to the designs in the mysterious sketchbook she found. She must find the person who made this

🪡 She hears the door opening and when she turns her head, she sees you looking a bit embarrassed.

“Uh, I left my sketchbook here, have you seen it?”

“Yes, I have.” Chiori picks up the book and hands it to you. “I looked through it.”

“Wait, what?!”

“And I like what I saw, can I make the designs in this book?”

🪡 So every Tuesday you would go to the sewing club and let Chiori bring life to your designs, the two of you would talk about various fashion styles and designers. Chiori is very impressed by your vast knowledge on how different styles and cultures arose, she might even say it rivals her knowledge (but she won’t)

🪡 The more time you two spend together the more Chiori likes you, she would look forward to your presence right next to her talking her ear off about your characters as she worked. Normally she would play music but the sound of you rambling is more than enough for her

🪡 In the privacy of her room Chiori would often find herself drawing up designs for wedding garments for her and yours wedding, she can’t wait for the day you to call her “my wife”

-ˏˋ . . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ CRUSH HDCS ࿐ྂ Pt. 1.....

WARNING: × pure fluff in my opinion

SUMMARY: just some idiots with a crush...you :)

CHARACTERS: Aether, Albedo, Al-haitham, Amber, Arlecchino, Ayaka, Ayato & Baizhu x F!Reader

WORD COUNT: 1.537

AETHER

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Paimon is so done with his constant ranting and crying about you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 She had to stop herself from telling you so often like "Just PLEASE date him already" because she couldn't just fall into her besties back like that

ᯓᡣ𐭩 you would think he doesn't really like you cause he's all quite. Wrong, he actually jusz tries to cope with his rising heat and nervousness around you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 did he once tell you that you smell nice even tho you were sweating lile a sinner in church? Yes

ᯓᡣ𐭩 did he also tell you that you look a bit different and like you haven't slept good after a haircut?...yes

ᯓᡣ𐭩 listen, he was concerned for you-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 everything was so embarrassing for him he thought you hate him now--- well, you didn't. Its hard not to find this weird and awkward ball of sunshine nice

ᯓᡣ𐭩 he also helps you out a lot, no matter whats the issue he's ready to help. And Paimon is the third wheel

ᯓᡣ𐭩 sometimes when he's nervous and talks to you he like suddenly needs to swallow down spit cause it gets stuck in his throat?? Idk how to explain it but i have this issue lol and its so hard to cover up the swallowing cause then people know youre nervous-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 literally once walked into a wall because he was looking at you. Luckily no one saw...except Paimon--she won't let him forget that ever

ᯓᡣ𐭩 speaking of Paimon, bro literally asked her for advice, and she was useful? Hey, look. Shes more than just emergency food-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 she was like, "If you truly love someone, you cook them something good! Love goes through the stomach!"

ᯓᡣ𐭩 and thats why he desperately cooks for you every day---just put Paimon out of her misery and kiss him already

ALBEDO

ᯓᡣ𐭩 has no idea how and why it happened but he won't complain, you are pretty so-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 kinda takes it as an opportunity to study love a bit lol. Its not like he's dumb, far from that, he knows what hes feeling and why he feels attracted to you.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 but somehow he can't tell you, words fail him to explain why although he knows

ᯓᡣ𐭩 is confused and is irritated lol

ᯓᡣ𐭩 did tell Succrose about it and my girl can hardly keep secrets-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 oh and like around a week after he noticed his crush on you he confessed

ᯓᡣ𐭩 he's pretty blunt and honest, straightforward if you will.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 there's honestly not much to say, he knows he likes you, also probably knows it's mutual, logic conclusion would be that he confesses so you two can consider a relationship after some time

ᯓᡣ𐭩 easy??? Like what's not to get???

AL-HAITHAM

ᯓᡣ𐭩 the strongest feeling he ever had for someone else was a book character-and that's also pretty rare cause he doesn't read fiction he only reads facts-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 treats you normally with a sprinkle of kindness

ᯓᡣ𐭩 you don't notice, no one would notice. Good for Al-Haitham cause ew what if people realize hes just a regular human being?? Can't have that

ᯓᡣ𐭩 would tell you to take breaks and eat an apple or other fruits in those breaks so you can concentrate better afterwards. Oh and take a breath of fresh air

ᯓᡣ𐭩 keeps the bitch face on. Only drops it when you're not looking.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 finds it incredibly cute when you play with your hair or bite your lip. Your concentration is adorable...

ᯓᡣ𐭩 if you read like him, he would consider reading one of your favorite books, even if it's stupid and not his thing at all. He wants a good reason to talk to you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 has no idea how to get out of the "I'm so fucking cool" bs to actually get closer to you without seeming cringe or needy

ᯓᡣ𐭩 feelings aren't his thing but hey, he trys. Just pay more attention and maybe you make it easier for him by doing the first step

AMBER

ᯓᡣ𐭩 nah cause she's so honest about it-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 probably all Mondstadt and their granny's know that Amber has a crush on you, except for you....dumbass

ᯓᡣ𐭩 she always asks you if you wanna join her on god knows what adventures

ᯓᡣ𐭩 she also always packs lunch for you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 like i said, she is pretty vocal about it and shows it quite well that she has an interest in you....and youre just brushing it off as kindness

ᯓᡣ𐭩 always ready to help! And she doesn't even need a thank you. Helping you is enough to make her happy, seeing your relieved is all she needs.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 gifts you flowers on a regular basis because they're just as pretty as you ♡

ᯓᡣ𐭩 she's so straightforward about her crush on you it's insane. People think she's dating you already, well wrong--

ᯓᡣ𐭩 big talk and actions but when it comes to beinh very vocal about her feelings she shuts down-she would stutter and blush not knowing what to say-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 like, pls stop being so oblivious to her attempts and just tell her you like her--then she'll confess too!

ARLECCHINO

ᯓᡣ𐭩 look, she's a busy woman (father), she doesn't have time for stupid crushes. She'll either tell you immediately once she figured it out, or just waits till the feelings disappear over time.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 why? If she is uncertain that this would work out with a fatui harbinger, then she wouldn't confess at all. You won't notice a thing.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 but if she does feel like it could work out, maybe not immediately because you need time...and yeah maybe she needs to know a 100% too, she would court you (??)

ᯓᡣ𐭩 presenting you the finest things from all nations. Also giving you ifts from your home region cause...well maybe you miss it? And if you're from Fontaine she gives you only the most expensive shit hidden from all normal ordinary people-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 she sneaks her way in your heart ngl-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 and if she ever sees you with one of the things she gave you, she would make sure others know. Who knows who might have an interest in you.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 would also make some space in her schedule just for you. Lets you know too. No, not to make you feel bad, nahhh. She wants you to know how important you are to her.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 and that she will always have time for you no matter what.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 she's kinda advertising herself. "Look, I'm the baddest bitch around."

AYAKA

ᯓᡣ𐭩 also makes space in her very busy schedule just for you. And if she can't find the time so you both can be alone, she takes you with her to her appointments and everything.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 wants her brothers 'ok' for it all. She wouldn't feel quite comfy if Ayato wouldn't like you. Thomas opinion is also very important to her.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 if she every plays this weird cooking game with you, she trys to make it tame. She doesn't want you too disgusted or near throwing up cause then she'd feel bad

ᯓᡣ𐭩 and also trys cooking for you normally. She trys ok, she's getting better and better. Takes this as an excuse to cook your favorite meals.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 dances with you! She's shy about it but she does. Ayaka teaches you her favorite dances and moves, and would get quite close to you by doing this...plus for her

ᯓᡣ𐭩 but besides this she's very shy about her crush on you and won't admit it very fast. Even after months she wouldn't dare say a word about it to you or hint anything to drastic.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 tbh, it has to be you who would need to make the first step lol

AYATO

ᯓᡣ𐭩 very obvious...I mean...he gives you flowers, jewelry, new clothes. He takes you to events or dinners, important meetings. Lets you stay in the Kamisato estate for free. Bitch you even have your own room??

ᯓᡣ𐭩 ITS SO OBVIOUS

ᯓᡣ𐭩 i can't tell you more, except, just...just talk with him about it. Confront him and say, "yes" that's all he wants to hear from you.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 and see you happy ofc

BAIZHU

ᯓᡣ𐭩 if Chansheng can keep her mouth shut he wouldn't tell you at all. Or at least not so fast.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 if you know, you know. Baizhus story is...something. i won't spoiler tho

ᯓᡣ𐭩 because of that he needs to be very sure about it all. He can't just jump into something that might not work out at all or have no future in the beginning.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 he would show his interest with nice little gestures. Giving you medicine for free, helping your loved ones when sick also for free, smiling just a bit more at you or teaching you about herbs and all.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 he's very gentle with you, scared he might break you. In truth it's actually him who would break--

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Qiqi would notice, she's a smart girl ofc she would. Yeah she knew you two were a thing before you two knew lol

ᯓᡣ𐭩 oh yeah and Changsheng blew it all-

ᯓᡣ𐭩 "Your hands wouldn't shake so much if you wouldn't love her"

Ayato falls in love with you~

(Ayato x f! reader)

„Get out of that closet already, you've been getting ready way longer than I have!" Ayaka yelled at you. You and your great friend were preparing for the festival in Inuazuma. You only visit this city occasionally, you have enough to do in your hometown Liyue. „I'm going, I just need to tie my shoes..." You answered still buried in the wardrobe."

You had matching outfits with Ayaka. You didn't wait any longer and went to the festival you were looking forward to so much. "It's too bad Thoma isn't coming with us, he'd be fun, don't you think?" You asked as you walked. "I agree. I'm disappointed my brother also isn't coming with us. I'd finally get to introduce you two." Ayaka said sadly beside you. „Aww don't you worry. There will be another opportunity."

As you walked towards the festival, you met more and more people. It was already getting dark and the lights around the shops started to come on.

„Are you hungry, Y/N? I'd love to invite you to a meal, what do you say?" Ayaka asked happily. And how could you decline? „Oh that would be truly wonderful, thank you.~"

You've been looking for a food stall for a while that would interest you. But in the end you settled on good noodles. They brought your food quickly. You started eating and talking about some things. A man with pale blue hair who was very nicely dressed appeared behind Ayaka. He tapped her on the shoulder, which startled her a little. But as soon as she turned around, the fear disappeared.

„Brotheeer~!!" She yelled out. 'That's her brother?' You thought for yourself. „Greetings, ladies. Would you mind if I sat with you?" He asked politely. You were the one to answer... „Of course not, be our guest." Before he sat down, he took your hand and kissed it while holding eye contact with you. Something snapped inside you.

„Thank you. May I ask who you might be?" Ayaka's brother said, looking directly at you.

Ayato's POV:

I wanted to surprise my sister at the festival, so I took time off. I spotted her sitting at one table eating noodles with another person.

I surprised Ayaka from behind, I think I startled her a bit. That was the moment I looked into that girl's eyes. Such a gorgeous color that flattered her flushed cheeks. Hair fluffed up and styled, she was gorgeous. I couldn't resist, I had to touch her. I made it up by giving her an innocent kiss on the back of her hand. What a soft skin...

Then I sat next to my sister, facing the girl. I asked her name. When she said it, my whole body shuddered. Her voice was like music that I would listen to non-stop.

„I hope you don't mind if I pay for your meal." I said. Ayaka started protesting that she wanted to invite her friend to eat. The girl just sat and looked at us in silence. Apparently she didn't know what to say. She's cute even when she's just sitting and breathing.

Her eyes were glued to me, at least I think so, maybe I want to think so. What could I do to interest her?

„After Y/N and I finish our food, would you like to join us?" Ayaka asked me with her mouth full. "I'd love to, thank you." The girl sitting across from me began to choke on food in her throat. She began to cough and her eyes watered.

Y/N's POV:

As soon as I heard that the handsome guy was coming with us, I started choking on my food. How embarrassing. Tears welled up in my eyes and I began to cough to clear my throat.

A strong thud in my back caused me to stop choking. I didn't even notice that Mr. Ayato got up from his chair to help me. Blood rushed through my cheeks.

"Are you alright miss?" He asked me sweetly. "Yes I am, thank you Mr. Ayato." “Heh, you don't need to call me 'mister', simple Ayato will do.” He was so polite…

･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*☆*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*☆

About an hour passed and you and the siblings had a good time at the festival. Ayato had enough time to examine you from all sides. He found you very pretty and he liked you from the inside too. But he was careful, he didn't want to scare you away in any way.

The tour of the festival was coming to an end. You had already walked the whole city, it was late in the evening and you were getting tired.

“Are you getting tired Y/N?” Ayaka asked empathetically. “You can see it on me that much?" you laughed. “Well you've been yawning for 10 minutes, you need to get some sleep.” Ayato just quietly listened next to you while you and Ayaka conversed.

You slowly reached your temporary living quarters. “Thank you so much for a lovely evening, I really enjoyed myself today!” You said to Ayaka. „And thank you too, Ayato, for accompanying us." you added. Ayato bowed politely saying “It was a pleasure to meet you Ms. Y/N. I really enjoyed the evening with you." Ayaka only gave him a side eye and then smirked. She figured him out. You smiled and got into your staying place.

You were in bed looking at the ceiling and thinking about Ayato. You liked him and wanted to see him again, but you didn't know how. Just coming to him saying you want to spend time with him would be very inappropriate, you didn't know how to do it. 'I'll figure it out tomorrow.' you said to yourself and hid under the covers and fell asleep.

Ayato had a lot of trouble falling asleep. He kept thinking about the way your eyes sparkled in the lights of the festival lights, the way your dress fluttered in the wind, the way your hair swayed in the wind,... So many things were running through his mind and yet only one thing. You.

Thank you for reading, darling ♡

Would you like part 2?

[neeuqiakeht]

Ayato: Hey, Ayaka, are you free on Friday? Like around eight?

Ayaka: Yeah.

Ayato: And you, Y/N?

Y/N: Umm… yes?

Ayato: Great! Because I'm not. You two go out without me. Enjoy your date!

Ayaka: Did he just-

warning: negative thoughts

The cherry blossoms fluttered down one by one. The silk fabric of your wedding attire slightly swayed in the wind. You sat with your husband in front of your families, and you looked upon the guests who enjoyed themselves at the matrimonial ceremony.

A happy smile washed upon your expression as you sipped the ceremonial sake. Unbeknownst to you, his amethyst eyes watched your every move and expression that day. 

Later on, when people grew more and more inebriated, and some time had passed, he looked at you with an unknown glint in his eyes. He placed his hand over yours, the one that had laid rested on his lap. And as if he had just placed a mask directly over his face, he gave you that smile you were all too familiar with during the present day. 

You felt that you could get lost into the light and beautiful colors of his eyes. And before you knew it, he leaned forward and pressed his lips to yours, so softly, so tenderly, that it felt like you could melt right then and there. His scent overwhelmed your senses, his touch was ever so gentle. Even the beauty of the cherry blossoms themselves could not distract you from how much affection you had held for this man before you. 

You shut your own eyes as you sank deeper into his kiss.

That was when you had fallen in love with him for the first time.

Overcome with emotions, your eyes then fluttered open like a gentle breeze in the plains of Teyvat. 

Instead of seeing the man you had fallen in love with, you found yourself staring at the familiar wooden ceiling above you. It was just a dream. A very familiar dream. Your hand had instantly made its way to find the ring that was centered on your left fourth finger.

Letting out a sigh of relief, you brought the ring to your chest, holding it close to your own heart so that you could never lose or forget those sweet memories again. 

Then, after you took some time to yourself, you got up early that morning, getting yourself ready as you made your way to breakfast.

Your duties as his spouse was to oversee the staff and make sure the interior and exterior of the house were up to par. In short, you worked with Ayaka closely, taking on the other half of her workload. Days were busy as you greeted guests several times a week, trying to behave as courteously as you could, while your sister in law went out of the estate to pay political visits to other prominent people. 

The morning air carried the faint scent of cherry blossoms, though the season for their full bloom had long passed. You let the memories of that dream linger as you walked through the estate, weaving through your responsibilities. The stillness of the household awakened with the first rays of sunlight, the staff bustling in preparation for the day ahead. 

At breakfast, Ayaka mentioned the upcoming event hosted by the Kanjou Commission, her words lighthearted but laced with the weight of duty.

“It will be an important gathering,” Ayaka said, her calm voice like the gentle ripple of a stream. “The merchants will be in attendance, along with several envoys from Liyue and Fontaine. It will give us an opportunity to strengthen alliances.”

You nodded, already knowing your role in such events. As his spouse, you were expected to play the part of a gracious hostess, perfectly polished, and in sync with your husband’s impeccable image. But beneath your poised demeanor, you felt the familiar weight in your chest. These events always served as a reminder of the distance between you and Ayato, that mask of formality that the both of you put on to appear as the perfect couple.

He arrived at the breakfast table later than usual, his amethyst eyes meeting yours for a fleeting moment before he took the tea that you had poured for him. He looked tired as usual, his gentle smile masking his fatigue. “The preparations are coming along well, I trust?” he asked, his voice calm and measured.

“Yes,” you replied with a small smile. “Everything should be in order.”

He gave a short nod, taking a sip of his tea before speaking again. “Good. I appreciate your attention to these details.” There was no warmth in his tone, only polite acknowledgment, and you had long since stopped expecting more. But still, a compliment was a compliment and you could only bask in the small amount of attention he showed you.

⊱ ─── ⋅♡⋅ ─── ⊰

The estate of the Hiiragi sparkled with lanterns and elegant decor. You and Ayato arrived hand in hand quite early, and as more guests arrived, you greeted them with a smile that you had perfected over the years. Your kimono was intricately detailed, the colors chosen to complement Ayato’s attire, though the two of you felt like mere actors on a stage rather than a married couple.

Ayato was by your side, as expected, and his demeanor was calm and charming as he greeted prominent figures. His gentle words flowed with ease, and the guests hung onto every syllable. Occasionally, his hand would hold yours, but it was fleeting, a mere formality rather than a gesture of affection, causing your heart to ache briefly before you force that pleasant smile onto your face.

As the evening progressed, the air buzzed with conversation and subtle power plays. You found yourself caught in the intricate dance of politics, where every word and gesture held weight. But you were used to this, you had been his wife for years now. One of the envoys from Fontaine, a stern-looking man, started to engage you in conversation. At first, the exchange was cordial, but you quickly realized he was testing you, his tone growing sharper with every word.

“I see the Yashiro Commission’s manners are as refined as ever,” he said, his gaze flickering to Ayato before settling back on you. “Though I wonder, Lady Kamisato, do you share your husband’s understanding of the intricate trade agreements we are discussing?”

The subtle condescension in his voice made your pulse quicken. You smiled politely, trying to recall the specifics Ayaka had briefed you on earlier. But the man’s relentless questioning caught you off guard, and a slight misstep in your response sent a ripple through the nearby conversations. A murmur spread among the guests, and the envoy’s sharp laugh cut through the air.

“I suppose not everyone can grasp the complexities of international trade,” he said, his tone dripping with mockery. Before you could respond, he picked up a cup of tea from the table and tipped it over, the warm liquid spilling onto your hair and shoulders. It dripped down your body, staining your kimono. For a moment, you couldn’t move or breathe. Your vision blurred as the murmurs around you grew louder, your pulse pounding in your ears.

The shock of it froze you in place. Your composure shattered as you felt the heat reach your face and the sting of humiliation in your chest. Gasps erupted from the surrounding guests, but the man seemed unbothered, already turning away to rejoin another group.

Ayato stepped forward, his expression unreadable, and his hand reached out toward you. But before he could speak, you bolted from the room, the tears you had fought so hard to hold back finally spilling over as embarrassment filled your entirety. 

You knew your husband wouldn’t defend you if it meant trying to keep those trade dealings ongoing. You didn’t want to blame him for doing so, but you also wouldn’t dare to look him into his eyes. Thoughts after thoughts flood your mind. You weren’t good enough for him. You’ll never be good enough for him. Everything was ruined because of you, and you were sure he thought the same.

After all, Kamisato Ayato was a man who strived for the best. He sacrificed a lot for the sake of his clan, including his own happiness and leisure. How could you, of all people, ruin that?

You ran through the dimly lit halls of the estate, vision blurred by your hot tears. The air of the cool night hit your face as you stepped outside into the garden, seeking refuge among the quiet cherry blossom trees. The hum of the party grew faint behind you, but your sorrow only grew as time passed.

It wasn’t long before you heard footsteps behind you. You turned to see your husband standing there, his usually composed expression slightly off.

“Y/n,” he said softly, his voice carrying a hint of urgency. “Are you alright?”

That simple question broke something within you. The dam you carefully built over years of silent suffering had burst, and the words spilled out before you could stop them.

“Alright?” You echoed, your voice trembling. “How could I possibly be alright, Ayato? Do you know what it feels like to be humiliated like that in front of everyone? Do you even care?”

His eyes widened slightly, but he said nothing, and his silence only fueled your anger.

He must have thought you looked like an idiot. Surely, he must have. Maybe he was even disappointed in you. Maybe… he didn’t even want you to be his wife anymore.

Something broke within you. 

“All of these years, I have tried so hard to be the perfect wife for you, to support you in everything you do, even when you barely acknowledge my existence. And tonight, when I needed you the most, you just stood there, just watching me be humiliated.”

“Y/n…” His voice was soft, almost hesitant, but you shook your head, tears streaming down your face. You don’t notice how he reached out to touch your cheek gently in an attempt to comfort you, only to retract it like he had just touched a flame once you had looked up at him. 

“No,” you said, your voice cracking. “I’m done pretending that this doesn’t hurt, that you haven’t hurt me. Every day, I feel like I’m just a burden to you, like I don’t belong in your world. I wait for you every single night, but you’re never there. I want to hold your hand and… and help carry your burdens… I want to kiss you and love you. That’s why I can’t do this anymore, Ayato. I just… I can’t. You kissed me once, so sweetly, on our wedding day. I dreamt about it last night, and it hurt because that was the last time I felt like you ever truly saw me.”

There was a long silence after that. For a moment, he looked as though he wanted to say something, but the words never came. Instead, his expression softened into something you couldn’t quite place—regret perhaps, or even pity.

You didn’t want him to pity you. You just wanted him to love you. You wanted to be his light, his world. His wife. 

“Do you even love me?” You finally asked.

That large question was met with even more silence. His lips parted slightly as if to answer, but no words came. His gaze then shifted, somewhere between anguish and restraint, before it fell elsewhere.

You then let out a shaky breath, the weight of your emotions finally left you feeling hollow. 

“I’m sorry for burdening you,” you whispered, your voice barely audible. 

And before he could respond, you turned and ran away, leaving him alone in the moonlit garden. 

Surprisingly, you felt free after those words. Free, yet the sorrow in your heart kept pouring out. It kept pouring out like the most bitter tears in the world.

You collapsed onto the ground in your room, gripping your wedding ring. You wanted to hold on to the sweetness of your memories, but they slipped through your fingers like grains of sugar dissolving in water. You thought about your dream from last night, your wedding, the way he had kissed you so sweetly.

Even now, the memory felt like a trick your mind had played, a fleeting glimpse of something that was never real. And the more you tried to cling on to it, the more you realized that the sweetness of such memories had faded into a bitterness within your heart. 

A lonely, bittersweet love.

how I met my cat

Pairing: Neuvillette, Ayato, Childe, Dottore, Zhongli, Pantalone, Itto x f!Reader

AYATO

Walking down one of Inazuma's streets, which was being lit up by the midday sun, Ayato spotted what he would say after "that misunderstanding" sitting on the edge of a wooden bridge, looking wistfully at the carp that were splashing in the clear water. The kitten looked like the very personification of sunshine. His red hair was sticking out in different directions, and his face was as silly as it was cute.

The guy froze for a while, following his gaze to the picture in the water, which the red kitten was studying with such care. The noise behind him attracted a small animal, but remarkably, he did not rush to run away, he just looked at Ayato's tall figure with his big green eyes, the size of a tea saucer. The poor kitten was so overzealous with raising his red head, due to the tall stature of a representative of the Kamisato clan, that he fell funny, turning a somersault, which made him look even more disheveled.

"How clumsy you are," Ayato said, and after taking one last look at the animal, he went about his business.

What was his surprise when he noticed a red-haired, disheveled spy who followed him from one planned place to another, and eventually escorted him to the Kamisato estate.

That day, Ayato ordered to feed his personal guest, as a reward for his perseverance and endurance, because he had come a really long way with his tiny paws. And then a terrible thing happened… Ayaka saw the kitten.

Ayato swears he has no affection for the silly ginger cat, but Toma, who works late into the night, often sees Yashiro, the head of the commission, allow the animal to nestle in his lap and soothe it with his purr.

PANTALONE

Pantalone left the restaurant, and the first thing that attracted him, even across the street, was a sprawled black spot that contrasted with the snow-covered street. While the man was putting on gloves, he saw how on the well-fed body of the "spot", which turned out to be a cat, black fur was waving from gusts of wind, but he stubbornly and motionlessly lay. At some point, Pantalone allowed the idea that the animal was frozen, but he was surprised enough when he saw a sluggish movement and a prolonged "meow" when a worried young girl came out of the shop in front of the cat and put a thick and fresh sausage in front of him. She cooed while squatting next to him, stroking his soft fur and saying how poor and unhappy he was. Pantalone chuckled and went home.

There might not have been anything remarkable in this story, but Regrator noticed the cat several more times, each time he left the restaurant, the animal lay motionless near the bench, waiting for his saviour.

"Sly," Pantalone said to himself and headed across the street.

Sitting down in front of the animal, the man smiled, because from this distance you could see thick, beautiful black fur, and the fact that the cat was very well-fed.

"Very clever," said the man again, and was about to leave when the cat opened his green eyes. Perhaps sensing that he was not going to get a handout from Pantalone, he did not meow as he usually did, but sat up gracefully and blinked a few times.

No matter how funny it sounded, Pantalone invited the cat to go with him, and no matter how funny it sounded, the cat agreed and gently trotted through the snow after his recognized master.

Despite the fact that the cat has been voluntarily domesticated and now needs nothing, he likes to sneak into the kitchen and act out scenes of "hungry" fainting in front of the cooks, who are happy to feed the sly cat.

The staff of the Pantalone estate often loses a cat and they go crazy looking for it, thinking that they have missed the beloved pet of one of the Harbingers, while the animal sleeps on its owner's clothes merging with it. As soon as Pantalone calls his pet by name, he fluffs his tail and goes to greet him or keep him company, purring peacefully during long working nights.

ITTO

The eccentric head of the Arataki gang was a second away from deciding to jump into the arms of Kuki Shinobu, who was walking next to him, when a small pack of yard dogs rushed at him from the alley, but he froze in surprise when he realized that they were dispersed … by a cat. A white, somewhat skinny cat with a torn right ear and piercing orange eyes. He drove the dogs away with unshakable confidence, accompanying all this with a shrill "meow".

"He's just a demon in cat form," Itto exclaimed mischievously, watching the cat disappear around the bend.

It took several days and all the skill of the Arataka gang to find the white cat, which, unfortunately for the members of the group, Itto was delighted with.

The found animal and the "drama lover" Arataki Itto quickly found a common language and stuck to each other. The cat loves to relax, like a fluffy collar, on the shoulders of its recognized owner, in some unthinkable way, It taught him to hunt beetles and look for only the best specimens for fighting.

Despite the fact that Kuki was skeptical about the appearance of the cat, even she relented when the sneaky cat began to bring them small goodies from nowhere. That's how he became a full member of the Arataka gang.

DOTTORE

Dottore had to go to Sumeru himself, in order to purchase components sold only there for his experiments. And it was there, in the market, that the man saw a white cat holding a mouse by the tail with a fluffy paw. Dottore froze and watched with interest what would happen next. In an instant, the cat easily lets the mouse go and desperately watches its well-aimed run.

"This is a failure," the man said to himself, already about to look away from the snow-white cat, as he looked at him, as if he had heard a remark. Multicolored eyes, one yellow and the other green, looked accusingly at the man, and with light leaps the graceful animal began to chase the mouse, which had just found hope of salvation.

Waving his fluffy tail, the cat was rapidly approaching the small rodent, playing with him in a feline version of hide-and-seek. Observation and dexterity do not give the poor mouse a chance. On the move again, the cat instantly grabs the mouse with its paws, which are glistening with snow-white fur.

This little game moment is full of energy and grace, and is a reflection of the sincere joy and enjoyment that the cat gets from his favorite mouse game. And it was after that that Dottore decided that the snow-white cat from the Sumeru market belonged to him.

ZHONGLI

Morax sat in one of the gazebos near Li Yue Harbour. The man was drinking fragrant tea in silence, watching the ships that were going on a long journey. Preferring to spend time in peace and quiet, Zhongli often chose this particular gazebo, on top of a fairly high mountain. Accustomed that no one would disturb him here, the man was extremely surprised to notice a majestic fluffy red cat lying on a smooth stone ledge enjoying the rays of the sun. His bright coat shone against the background of the surrounding green cover of nature. The cat stretched out relaxed, enjoying the pleasant peace.

It would seem that over the years of his life, Morax had seen many cats, but there was something subtly regal about it. Birds were flying around the cat, singing their songs. They felt safe next to this powerful, compared to them, animal, which never harmed harmless creatures. It seemed that the mice and birds knew that this cat was not just a predator, but also a patron, calmly allowing them to be in his vicinity.

However, one little mouse decides to test the limits of the exclusivity of its security. Sneaking up unnoticed, she approached the cat and, trying her luck, tries to bite him. But it was courage, for which the little girl paid dearly.

The cat, suddenly feeling the mouse's teeth on its fur, reacts reflexively to the attack. He instantly gets to his feet and easily deals with the rodent, leaving impressive evidence of his power in front of the others.

Raising his head in proud relief and dignity, the cat turned his gaze to Zhongli.

"You can't make concessions when there is a contract. If the contract is not followed, it will be violated," the man said and motioned for the animal to sit closer to him.

NEUVILLETTE

The judge already believed that he had committed the most reckless act in his entire life when he succumbed to Furina's persuasions to take a kitten from the shelter so that he would keep him company and he would not be so lonely.

Neuvillette often watched as a gray ball of fur, trying to catch its tail, bites it, from which it then meows plaintively, as it crashes into furniture from a running start, as it clumsily falls from all surfaces that it can reach. Sometimes it seemed to him that he had sheltered a kitten with a maximum of one brain cell. This playful prankster chases after him and clings to his clothes. He attacks Neuvillette from around the corner, hisses at his shadow and hiccups funny.

"You vaguely remind me of someone," states Neuvillette, taking the kitten in his arms to go with him to his office, because it seems to him that he does not want him to leave.

This is not the first time that Neuvillette's new pet stays with him at work, and all employees adore and gladly pamper this clumsy, cheerful and active ball of fur.

One day, coming home after a brutal trial, when it was raining heavily outside, Neuvillette found a picture that made his heart skip a beat. Somehow, the cat got stuck in a paper bag, and mewing piteously tried to run to him right in such a standing position. The rain has gradually subsided, and Fontaine's relentless judge can't help but smile when he has to tear open the package to free the kitten.

Silent Longing~

Gojo Satoru x F!Reader (Angst) Part I

This is just something that popped up in my mind. Hope you all like it! <333

I huffed loudly as I finished cleaning all of our dirty dishes, muttering curses under my breath about my inconsiderate roommate for leaving such a colossal mess for me to clean up. It seemed like every time she threw a party, I was the one left to pick up the pieces.

“If you plan on having a party, learn to clean up after yourself…” I grumbled, my frustration evident.

I looked around the entirety of our apartment and realized there were still numerous areas that needed significant cleaning. Vomit stained the ground, plates and leftover food were strewn in random places, and, to top it all off, even random articles of clothing were draped over the ceiling fan.

It was horrendously disgusting, to say the least. I had tried waking my roommate up at least seven times by now, but she hadn’t budged an inch.

“Ayaka, I swear, if you don’t get up now, I’ll…I’ll…well, I swear I’ll do something you’ll regret!” I yelled down the hallway towards her bedroom, my patience wearing thin.

“…once I think of it,” I mumbled, picking up the mop and scrubbing the floors as hard as I could to get rid of the awful smell. How could someone think this was okay? I swear if it weren’t for me, she would be living in complete filth by now.

As I continued mopping, my phone began to ring, catching my attention. I grabbed it and my frown slowly transformed into a small smile when I saw the familiar name on the screen: 'Toruuu❤️'.

I rolled my eyes at the nickname he had insisted on putting in my phone. He was so adamant about having it as that rather than Gojo Siwa, which I thought was much better. But hey, to each their own. Despite everything, seeing his name brought a little light into my otherwise frustrating morning, reminding me that not everything was a mess

Quickly answering the call, I was met with the cheerful voices of two kids at the other end of the line.

“Hi n/n!” Tsumiki's sweet voice greeted me, making my smile grow even wider as I went back to mopping. Despite the mess, their voices always had a way of lifting my spirits and making everything seem a little less daunting.

“Is that my favorite little Tsumiki?” I asked, trying to keep the playfulness in my tone despite the overwhelming mess around me. It was moments like these that made me forget the chaos and focus on the joy in life.

“Yesss!” She giggled, her laughter infectious and light, but the moment was short-lived as Megumi snatched the phone from her with a determined look in his eyes.

“Hey Gumi! Give it back! I wasn’t done talking wif n/n!” She whined, her voice filled with genuine frustration and a touch of sibling rivalry that was both amusing and endearing.

“It’s my turn wif her!” Megumi argued back, his tone just as adamant and filled with a childlike sense of fairness.

“Nuh uh! I only got to speak wif her for like…a second!” Tsumiki complained, clearly upset and determined to have her share of the conversation.

“No you didn’t!” Megumi retorted, his voice rising with each word.

“Did too!”

“Did not!”

“Did too—”

“Hey! What are you two doing with my phone? Get over here!” I heard Toru’s muffled voice in the background, sounding both amused and exasperated. The two kids burst into laughter, and I could hear the sound of their footsteps, indicating they were running away from Toru with his phone in their little hands.

The thought of their antics made me giggle, imagining the scene playing out on the other end. After a few more seconds of their running and laughter, the commotion suddenly stopped. I soon heard the kids whining and Toru teasing them, his voice filled with mock sternness.

“Toru! How could you be so cruel to those poor kids!” I teasingly scolded him through the phone, my tone light and playful.

“Huh!? Y/n?? You called her!?” Toru sounded genuinely surprised, his voice rising in disbelief as he realized who was on the line.

“Toruuu…” I called out once more, trying to get his attention and add a bit of drama to the moment.

“Oh uh! Hi y/n! How’s everything going?” He finally acknowledged me, his voice softening and filled with warmth.

I quickly frowned, seeing the mess of vomit I was currently cleaning up. “I can’t wait to get out of this stupid apartment.” I sighed with defeat, feeling the weight of the morning's tasks pressing down on me.

“Ayaka?” He asked with a knowing tone, already familiar with the situation and the source of my frustration.

“Ayaka.” I replied, my frustration evident as I glanced around at the remaining mess.

“N/n, I don’t know why you don’t just move in with me! I’m way more fun and I promise not to put you in those types of positions!” He said enthusiastically, his voice filled with a mixture of sincerity and excitement at the prospect.

“Toru, you know I can’t. For one, I can’t afford it. Second, your girlfriend literally hates me. And third…I CAN'T afford it.” I repeated, trying to emphasize my point and make him understand the practicality of my situation. I heard him whine on the other end, a sound that was both endearing and frustrating.

“Stop. First and foremost, I wouldn’t let you pay anything since I can afford it. Two, she doesn’t hate you, I promise! Once you get to know her, I’m sure you and her will be closer than ever! And third…you DON’T have to pay for anything.” He insisted, his tone earnest and filled with a genuine desire to help.

I huffed, blowing a piece of hair out of my face as I finished up the floor. Maybe I should do a second mopping just to be safe. “I don’t know, Toru. I…I just don’t want to be a burden to you or your new family.” I said quietly, the worry clear in my voice as I struggled with the thought of imposing on him.

There was a long silence on the other end, which caught my attention and made me worry. “Toru?” I called out, the silence feeling heavier with each passing second.

“You’re never a burden to me, y/n. Don’t say things like that.” He said, his tone serious and almost intimidating. It was a side of him I rarely heard, and it made my heart race a little with a mix of fear and something else I couldn’t quite place.

“S-Sorry, Toru. I-I was just joking—” I stammered, trying to lighten the mood and ease the tension that had suddenly filled the conversation.

“I know, but please don’t joke about that. I need you to know you will never and have never been a burden.” He repeated firmly, his voice steady and filled with conviction. I just nodded, feeling my heart pace quicken a bit, his words echoing in my mind.

“Can we talk to y/n now?” Megumi asked, bringing a smile back to my face and breaking the tension that had built up.

“No, I get to talk to her!” Toru insisted, his voice filled with determination.

“But that’s not fair! We called her first!” Tsumiki stated, sounding almost indignant and desperate for her turn.

“I’ve known her longer! I win in this case!” Toru replied confidently, his logic simple but effective in his mind. The kids where complaining in the background, but Toru ignored them to talk to you.

“Anyways, now that I actually have you here, I was going to ask if you think you could watch the kids tonight…Amara wanted to go out today but she said she wanted it to be just us two. But I think I’ll just call a babysitter hearing now that you’re going through hell right now.” Toru continued, his voice filled with concern and understanding, shifting the conversation back to the practicalities of the day.

The thought of watching the kids made me smile. Despite the mess around me, the idea of spending time with them sounded like a wonderful escape from the chaos of my everyday life. “Don’t you dare. Those kids make my day better and distract me from living here!” I quickly replied, making Toru gasp dramatically and whine in playful disappointment.

“Just the kids? No one else?” he teased, his voice carrying a mock hurt tone, making me imagine the exaggerated pout on his face.

“Mmm…let me think…nope!” I teased back, enjoying our familiar banter and the way it lightened the mood.

“Not even a certain tall, white-haired, and gorgeous sorcerer who could literally protect you from anything?” he continued, trying to sound charming and coax a different response from me, his voice filled with playful arrogance.

“Mmmm…nope!” I teased once more, my grin widening as I pictured his dramatic reaction.

“Oh, how could you! My dearest, most precious friend betrays me just like that! My heart! I think I’m dying! Come save me, y/n! The only way is to say you enjoy having me over!” Toru declared theatrically, his exaggerated tone making me laugh out loud and shake my head.

“Sorry, I think you’re breaking up on me!” I pretended to struggle with the phone, adding to the drama and savoring the playful exchange.

“You’re so cruel to me, n/n~” he whined, but I could hear the smile in his voice, knowing he was enjoying this as much as I was.

“Just trying to make your life a little more interesting,” I replied, shaking my head at his antics and feeling a warmth spread through me at our easy camaraderie.

Then, there was a slight pause between the two of us. It was one of those comfortable silences that we often shared, filled with unspoken understanding and the bond we had developed over time.

“So…it’s really okay if I send the kids over tonight?” he asked, his tone turning more serious, showing his genuine concern for my well-being and the situation.

“Of course! Although…I don’t know if they’ll have much fun being here until the place is fully cleaned. What time are they getting here?” I asked, glancing around at the mess that still needed attention and wondering how much time I had to get everything in order.

“…does 10 seconds work?” he asked, making me choke on air in surprise, the shock evident in my voice as I tried to process his words.

“What!?” I exclaimed, just as I heard my door slam open. All of a sudden, I was bombarded with two little kids jumping on me, their small arms wrapping around me as they competed to see who could give the better hug, their laughter filling the room.

“Satoru Gojo!” I yelled, making the tall man freeze in his tracks, caught in the act and looking sheepish.

“Sorry, n/n. I guess I should’ve called earlier today…but I got busy with them! We passed by so many candy and bakery stores. You know how they are with their sweets!” he explained sheepishly, scratching the back of his head and giving me an apologetic smile.

“Yeah, they’re just like you!” I hissed, holding the kids close to me, trying to hide my annoyance behind a smile for their sake.

“Hey, don’t make that sound like it’s a bad thing!” he whined, coming up to help me back up to my feet, his touch sending a tingling sensation through my hand…and his. Both of us quickly looked away, trying to push that feeling far away and focus on the task at hand.

“N/n! Can we play now?” Tsumiki asked, her eyes wide with excitement, making me chuckle.

“Give me about 30 minutes to finish picking up. I gotta make sure this place is cleaned up for my special guests,” I told her, sitting her down on one of our chairs and giving her a reassuring smile.

Toru looked around and saw what was left to be done. “Do you want me to help?” he asked, feeling bad that I was going through this alone and wanting to ease my burden.

“Nah, don’t worry about me. Go have fun with your girlfriend!” I insisted, trying to sound casual and hide any lingering feelings of hurt or jealousy.

“B-But, I don’t have to be there right away. She can wait a little bit—” he stammered, clearly torn between his responsibilities and wanting to help me, his voice filled with hesitation.

“No Toru. I am not going to be the one you blame when she gets mad at you for being late,” I replied firmly, not wanting to be the cause of any friction between him and Amara.

“She won’t get mad! Plus, I want to help you. Seeing that you’ll be watching the kids tonight for me…thank you again, by the way,” he said, his voice softening as he looked at me with genuine appreciation.

I sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. I hated saying no to him…but it had to be said in order to make Amara happy. “Toru, really, I’ll be fine. You’ve already done more than enough. Go and enjoy your time with Amara,” I said softly, trying to reassure him and ease his concern.

He looked at me, his eyes searching mine for a moment. “Are you sure?” he asked again, his voice filled with genuine concern and a hint of something deeper that I couldn’t quite place.

“Absolutely. The kids and I will be just fine.” I added, trying to lighten the mood and put him at ease.

He smiled, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Okay, but I’m just a call away if you need anything,” he said, his voice filled with sincerity and a promise of support.

“I know. Now go before I change my mind,” I teased, giving him a gentle push towards the door, trying to keep things light and playful.

As he walked out, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. Watching him leave with that lingering look in his eyes made my heart ache in ways I tried to ignore. But I knew I had to keep things light for the kids’ sake and focus on the tasks at hand.

With that, I shut the door and walked back to the kids, clapping my hands to get their attention. “Alright, who’s ready for some fun?” I asked, trying to match their excitement. Their eyes lit up as they started jumping around, eager to hear what activities I had planned for the day. “But first,” I said with a mock stern voice, “we need to finish cleaning up this place. I can’t have my special guests living in a mess, can I?” The kids giggled and nodded.

As we worked together, I felt a sense of contentment. Even amidst the chaos, these moments of connection made everything worthwhile. The laughter and chatter of the kids filled the apartment, making it feel less like a disaster zone and more like a home filled with love and joy.

——

Meanwhile, outside the door, a disappointed Satoru Gojo stood there, completely deflated. He wanted to talk with you a little longer, to hear your voice, see your smile, and feel your warm and soft touch. He sighed, running a hand through his white hair as he tried to shake off the lingering feelings. The playful banter you shared always left him longing for more, but he knew he had to respect the boundaries he assumed were there. Deep down, he was still in love with you, there was no denying that. But he tried his best to suppress his emotions every time you interacted, especially because of his relationship with Amara.

Suddenly, his phone rang, breaking his reverie. He glanced at the screen and saw Amara’s name. With a heavy sigh, he picked it up, bracing himself for the conversation. “Hello?” he answered, trying to sound cheerful despite his disappointment.

“What took you so long to answer?” Amara’s voice came through, sharp and irritated. “I’ve been trying to reach you for ages!”

Satoru winced at the volume of her voice. “Sorry, I was just dropping off the kids,” he explained, hoping to diffuse her anger.

“Is everything okay?”

“No, everything is not okay! I had to change our dinner reservation because you’re running late! I swear sometimes you care more about those kids than me. You said you would get rid of them as soon as possible. It’s been two hours now! TWO!” she snapped. “And now I have to deal with all these last-minute changes because of you!”

“I’m really sorry, Amara. I got caught up with something. I’ll be there as soon as I can,” Satoru said, trying to keep his tone calm and apologetic. He hated letting people down, especially when it caused such frustration.

“Well, hurry up,” she demanded. “I don’t want to have to wait all night.”

“Okay, I’ll be there soon,” he assured her before ending the call. He let out a deep breath, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on him. He glanced back at your door, a sense of longing tugging at his heart.

He started to walk away, heading back to the main parts of town. However, he stopped when he saw through your living room window. He saw you laughing and dancing with the kids, all of you having such a good time together. The sight made his heart race and made his stomach do flips. It was such a beautiful scene. He loved how good you were with kids, especially his.

Inside, you were finishing up the cleaning with the kids. You laughed and joked as you worked, their energy and enthusiasm making the task seem much lighter. “You guys are the best helpers!” you praised them, giving each of them a high-five. “Now, who wants to go out for some ice cream once we’re done here?” you asked, watching their eyes light up with excitement.

As the last of the clutter was cleared away, you took a moment to look around the now tidy apartment. It felt good to have everything in order, and the thought of spending the evening with Tsumiki and Megumi made you smile. “Alright, let’s get ready to go!” you announced, and the kids cheered, running off to grab their shoes.

Back outside, Satoru took a deep breath and started walking away from your apartment, feeling a mix of emotions. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret for not being able to spend more time with you, but he knew he had to make his move…otherwise Amara would not be happy with him..

He stopped again, unable to resist one last glance through the window. He watched you spin Tsumiki around, both of you laughing with pure joy. Megumi joined in, his face lit up with happiness. The scene made Satoru’s heart swell with affection. You would be such a good mother someday, he thought. The sight of you with his kids was both beautiful and bittersweet.

Once again, his thoughts were interrupted by a text from Amara. He sighed, feeling the pull of his current life conflicting with his desires. He glanced at his phone, then back at you. With a heavy heart, he turned away and headed towards the restaurant.

“Beautiful…” The word lingered in the air, a testament to the feelings he struggled to suppress. Even as he headed back to the town, his thoughts remained with you, wondering when he would get the chance to hear your laughter and see your smile again.

Hello! Just found your blog and I'm so glad that there are female character x f! Reader content <33 been starved of this fr

I saw that your requests are open so I'd like to ask for headcanons on what the genshin ladies prefer - thighs, ass or breasts. You can choose as many charcters as you'd like since I'm not sure of the character limit!

I hope you have a fun time writing it! Have a great day/night Julie <33

-🎐anon

This is very sweet tysm! Felt generous so there’s a whole bunch, a good way to get back into the swing of writing. Have a good rest of your morning/afternoon/evening too 🎐anon <3

A thighs girl through and through. Prime spot for napping, or resting their head after an eventful day. Sometimes they unconsciously lay their head against them as they’re talking to you in bed, it’s just so comforting. And that thing where, when sitting on a flat surface, they squish out wider than they usually are? They’re absolutely in love<3

- Ayaka, Ganyu, Jean, Kujo Sara, Layla, Nilou,

Boobs all the way. There’s just something about you in a low cut shirt that drives them insane. It flusters them to no end, they’ll never get used to seeing you show them off. Sometimes they blush just from hugging.

- Eula, Keqing, Kuki Shinobu, Kokomi, Mona

They’ll pick ass any day. Their favorite thing is seeing your surprised face when they give you a small slap you from behind. They also have a habit where they like to palm your ass during a heavy a make-out session. They think your reactions are just too cute.

- Beidou, Deyha, Hu Tao, Rosaria, Yelan

Can they really pick a favorite? They’re obsessed with all parts of you, trying to choose would be so unfair. They love having their hands on you. As long as you’re in their arms it doesn’t really matter to them.

- Amber, Ei, Lisa, Ningguang, Shenhe, Yae Miko, Yoimiya

The book trailer to my fanfic that I may or may not ever get around to write it. I started writing it ages ago then started over from scratch and well, it’s still a work in progress. Anyways, “28 Month Pirate” / “28 Month Hai Tac” is a platonic Piratalia x F! Viet! Reader or a Hetalia x F! Viet! OC fanfic. For the keywords: Piratalia, Hetalia x Female, Vietnamese Reader or Original Character. The main character can be identified as either Y/N or Thuy. 

Even if the fanfic may never come to life, at least making this movie trailer was fun. Yes, there will be a majority of Pirate! Portugal, Spain, and England. Later on, France and Netherlands and select number of your fave Hetalia characters will show up, including a surprise appearance of someone that you might guess?? Wink wink nudge nudge? 

Technically, Vietnam and reader/Thuy are not Vietnamese since the story takes place during the Le Dynasty and the Dutch maps reads either Tonkin or Cochinechina. Historical things.

@hehothrowawayfae - there you go, your daddy has finally arrived

[miyukiistuff]

KINKTOBER DAY 1: DAY OFF

THOMA X F!READER

Synopsis: After a heated argument with Thoma, you refuse to speak a single word to him. He believes there is only one way to get you to speak now.

CONTENT WARNINGS: NSFW [18+], F!reader, slight angst, mentions of argument, Jealous!Thoma, Thoma being emotional, implied insecurities, unprotected sex, body worship, and dacryphilia.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Thoma was not the type to raise his voice at you. But when he does, he definitely feels bad for doing it. So when he noticed that you'd been ignoring him, not speaking a single word as if he wasn't even there, he couldn't deny the sinking feeling at the pit of his stomach when you refused to look at him.

...Instead, you were looking at someone else- Ayaka.

Thoma shook his head; perhaps he was just overreacting. But with the way you stared at her in awe at her new dress, he couldn't help but feel a familiar burning sensation in his chest.

"What do you think, [Name]?" Ayaka asked, twirling as she looked at you for approval.

Your eyes sparkled, "It looks beautiful, My Lady!" You exclaimed, making Thoma avert his eyes from the both of you.

"Really?" Ayaka's cheeks turned into a shade of pink before she looked down. "Very well. I would like to wear this for tomorrow's event."

Thoma wasn't one to feel jealous at all, too. At least, that's what he liked to believe. He trusted you, and he didn't find himself in a situation to feel that kind of emotion, yet. Until now.

"I agree, M'lady. I believe that others will be in awe once they see you in your new attire."

He glanced at you from the side of his eye before giving a small smile to Ayaka who was visibly excited for the upcoming event.

Later that day, Thoma had asked Ayato for a day off of house chores. To which, he was given the permission to due to the upcoming event. Thoma smiled and thanked him.

As Thoma stood in front of your shared home, he took a deep breath and held it. He opened the door, "I'm home!" He shouted, taking off his vest and his black, metal headband.

You were sitting cooking in the kitchen and replied with nothing but silence. He sighed and walked over to you.

"What'cha cooking, baby?" he asked, wrapping his arms around your waist. He rested his chin on your shoulder, looking at the side of your face.

"..." You didn't respond to his advances and kept cooking, making his smile fade.

To lessen the awkwardness between the two of you, Thoma let go and instead sat at the dinner table and waited for you to finish cooking. After a few moments, you put out the fire from the furnace and took off your apron.

Once you finished setting the dishes on the table, Thoma cleared his throat. "So, uhm... how was your day today?" he asked.

You stared at him in response, which didn't really give him much of an idea. He then took a bite out his food and hummed.

"Mmm, this is really good, babe!" He savored the flavor of the dish.

But yet again, you stayed quiet.

After dinner, you started getting ready to sleep while Thoma did the dishes. As he did so, you were in the bedroom. As you brushed your hair, he'd already finished washing the dishes.

With the attempt of trying to make a conversation with you, Thoma sat on the futon. As he watched you brush your hair, his eyes travelled over to your hand which then led to your slightly exposed shoulders, then to your waist, then...

He gulped and looked away. Ever since that heated argument you guys had, you refused to talk to him at all. And that obviously meant that no physical affection had been exchanged. Nor did you smile at his way, or speak to him using endearments.

But gods, he missed being called out by your voice.

He stared at you through the mirror you were looking at and held his breath. "[Name]," he spoke. "I... I just want you to speak to me. Please."

You finally turned to look at him, this time with glossy eyes. "Talk about what, Thoma?"

"Because if it's about that day, i'm not in the mood to talk about anything " he held your hand, caressing the back of your hand with his thumb.

"I know. It was my fault for not going, [Name]. And i'm sorry for that. Please just..."

His breath hitched, and he felt tears threatening to leave the corners of his eyes. "Please. Give me another chance. Just one more chance, baby. It's all I need. Just one chance to prove to you that- that I can be good for you."

And that chance you gave to him.

You were under him, his hair tickling the sides of his face. He slowly took off your yukata, revealing your bare shoulders. He leaned in, giving small pecks. His lips were soft, and he was so gentle.

He trailed down before looking at you with almost begging eyes. "May I..? Please?" he said just above a whisper.

The moment he got approval from you, he wasted no time taking your clothes off. His tongue met with your nipples, sucking on them gently. His other hand made its way over to your other one, kneading it softly with his warm palms.

You covered your lips with the back of your hand to let out a muffled moan, and your cheeks turned into a shade of red.

He stopped sucking on your tits and instead, his lips led to somewhere lower than that. He glanced up at you again for approval, before giving your clit a small lick. He licked at the bottom of your clit, purposely missing it to get a reaction from you.

Your fingers went through his hair and grabbed a fistful of it before squeezing your thighs together. His hand held the soft flesh of your inner thighs as he chuckled.

"You gotta stay still so I can taste you, baby." He hummed, savoring your wetness mixed with his saliva. He sucked on your soft bundle of nerves while also kneading your breast with his other hand.

"You taste so good.." He mumbled against your inner thigh. Soon, his hand stopped kneading your tits and instead he inserted two fingers inside your wet, throbbing pussy. With just a small curl of his fingers, you felt a tickling sensation between your thighs, and even more so when he pulled it in and out of you while he abused your clit with his tongue.

You let out a loud whine once you felt the familiar feeling of a knot forming in your core. Thoma, knowing you were close, quickened the pace of his fingers. He curled his fingers and found the special spot inside you, making your breath hitch.

Wet noises filled the room, as well as the sound of your muffled moans and Thoma's heavy breathing.

With a final cry of pleasure, you whined as your legs shook, your juices sprinkling on Thoma's chin and down to his neck.

Thoma felt his pants grow tighter. And admittedly, he'd been grinding on the futon as he ate you out to get some form of release.

He chuckled, "Fuck, baby... you really know how to turn me on, huh?"

He leaned in close to you, kissing your lips so gently as if he was afraid of breaking you.

"Thoma... Baby..?" you spoke softly, making him look at you.

His finger touches your cheek and he answers, "Mhm?"

"I... I think i'm ready," you squirmed underneath him.

He smirked, giving you another kiss on the lips before positioning himself to your pussy. "Let's do this slowly, okay baby?" he kissed your forehead.

His gives his hard cock a few good pumps before his tip kisses your pussy lips. And as he slowly inched himself inside you, he let out a groan, yet continued to go further.

"Thoma..." your breath quickened, "Baby it hurts..."

Thoma panted, "It's okay, baby... It's okay.."

It had been awhile, after all. And all while he hated seeing you in pain, he also couldn't deny the fact that the tears that formed at the corners of your eyes while it rolled to the back of your head in pleasure, wasn't a sight to see.

"Archons, you're so tight 'round me baby." He kissed your bottom lip.

Once his dick was fully inside you now, he pushed your hair back, getting out strands of your hair away from your face. A tear left your eye as you felt his dick stretching you from the inside.

"Can I move now, baby? Is that alright?"

Upon seeing your eager nod, Thoma took a deep breath and thrusted his hips against you. His face turned red and so he put his forehead against your shoulder to hide it.

He went slow, yet deep, and you felt every vein on his cock inside your gummy walls.

"[Name].." he whimpered against your shoulder. "Fuck, you feel good. So fucking good.."

He thrusted faster, this time. The tip of his cock hitting that one spot inside you continuously. You moaned, "Thoma... Thoma.."

You felt another knot forming in your core. You gulped as he kisses your shoulder. You sobbed, hands gripping onto his back as your nails dug into his skin and scratched his back with your nails.

Your eyes rolled to the back of your head as tears streamed down the corners of your eyes. He then chuckled, "You crying?"

He panted, a smirk making its way into his face. Sweat dripped from his neck then down to his chiseled chest.

"Baby..?" you called out to him, "'m close..."

He grunted, pushing his hips against your inner thighs as he went deeper. "Mhm, yeah? Me too," he said.

"C'mon baby, don't be shy. Cum, baby. Cum f'me," he whispered to you before kissing you deeply, his tongue exploring your mouth. He panted against the kiss, and you moaned against his lips.

"Love you," he mumbled, "Gods, I love you."

He pulled away, throwing his head back. "Mmm..! Cumming..!"

He spurts out ribbons of his cum deep inside you. As you felt the warmth of his juices fill your pussy, you felt your whole body shake. You squirt around his cock, mixing with his cum and your wetness.

He laid on top of you, his head resting on your chest. He chuckled dryly, "We should definitely do that more often, yeah?"

"Who said we have to stop now?" you replied, looking down at him.

"I don't see any reason why we should," he replied back before pinning your wrists on the futon as you felt his cock growing hard once again against your pelvis.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading this! I apologize for the late upload because of the busy schedule. However, I do hope you enjoyed this one! Hopefully it wasn't too boring because I haven't written any smut in awhile... Anyway, love you guys <33 again, thank you so much for reading <33

summary: where you are in an arranged marriage with him and you rarely ever see him

warning: somewhat traditional housewife roles, negative thoughts

part 2

What a cruel fate it was, to fall in love with a man who neither loves or hates you.

To spend long, cold nights alone. A large, indifferent room divided by two separate futons.

You knew that your husband was a busy man. He worked all night, barely resting during the day, and every time you’ve caught glimpse of his office, there was always a huge mess laying around on his desk. But having been married to him for such a long time, you felt that the distance between you two grew longer and longer every day.

In the morning, you would greet him with the biggest smile you could muster. He would greet you back with the same gentle smile everyday. At this point, you knew what his real smile looked like. You don’t recall when the last time he’s ever given you one.

If Miss Ayaka and Thoma were busy, and you dined alone with your husband, the table would be silent. You didn’t know what to say, and he’d also be reading over papers while eating, so you were afraid to disturb him. If the two were present, or if there were any other guests, Ayato would be more active in the conversation, joking lightheartedly and appearing like he was actually enjoying himself.

This man did not treat you unkindly despite having these feelings that lurked in your chest. In fact, it was the opposite. He was a true gentleman every time you interacted with him. He would open the door for you while you two walked together. He would pull out the chair when you wanted to sit. He would hold your hand and escort you to any event, or if you were getting on/off a carriage.

But it was all superficial. It felt like he was forcing himself to do these actions for you. You couldn’t even tell what his intentions are for doing so. You couldn’t tell if he just disliked you, disliked this arranged marriage, or if he just wanted people to see what a loving husband he was, that everything was okay right now even though it really wasn’t.

From touchless nights to meaningless small talk, your heart ached at the thought of everything. You don’t ever recall the last time he’s kissed you on the lips in private. You don’t recall the last time he’s ever opened up to you about the depths of his heart, from the things that scared him the most, to the things that has made him truly happy.

And while you know that a relationship thrives off of communication, you couldn’t help but feel scared. You were scared that the man in front of you would grow even colder, shutting off the depths of his heart forever, pushing you away if you were to ever confront him. Maybe he’d even take it to an extreme and call off the marriage with you, telling you that he never loved you, as this was really only an arrangement between your two families. Maybe he was in love with someone else prior to this marriage, and he has only reserved his heart for them all of these years.

You have seen his darker sides. He doesn’t think that anyone has noticed, but you have. You were always watching him, after all.

A more mischievous side of him existed deep down in there, a certain sly foxiness that could even rival Guuji Yae herself. Sometimes, it would scare you to see that forced smile on his face as if what lingered in his mind were true thoughts darker than what he had initially led on.

But despite his flaws, despite the mask he constantly wore around, you loved him. You loved him so much it hurt. You loved how he cared for people despite them being complete strangers to him. You loved his gentle smile as he holds your hand so tenderly when you accidentally trip. How could a man be so kind, yet so cruel to your heart?

And even as you laid in bed most nights alone, shedding tears as if you were the dark side of the crystal moon longing for the light of the sun, you still loved him regardless.

You were in your futon all alone as of this moment, staring at the ceiling. The room was pitch black and silent, other than the occasional sounds of the residual droplets from the passing rain. Ayato would never let you rest in a room that was cold, so the temperature was heated comfortably, yet you couldn’t help but bundle yourself up under the covers even more.

It was cold without him. You didn’t even realize when the last time he had actually went to bed in this room you both allegedly shared.

But it didn’t matter anyways because his futon laid far away from yours.

Your own husband wouldn’t even come near you when you’re together in the same room. You didn’t know if he just wanted to be respectful as a formality between husband and wife, or if he is repulsed by being in the same vicinity as you, but it hurt regardless.

You sighed as you covered your face with the blanket, trying to get rid of these harboring thoughts. It was no use, no matter what you did, you couldn’t stop thinking about your relationship with him every single night. He is what plagues your mind at night, like a thorn lodged deep in a fingertip. It was only soon that you will be bleeding out your love for him.

How could you make a scene about all of this anyways? You've seen how hard he works. You knew that everything he did, it was for the sake of protecting his family and home. Who were you to complain about how busy he was? That was another reason why you continued to keep silent. You thought that your worries meant nothing compared to his own.

Your mind was racing a mile per minute, and you knew you weren't able to get any sleep like this. You got up and out of your futon as you decided to go for a stroll around the estate. The guards protected the outside and prevented from anybody from coming in. As long as you walked around inside, there should be no problem with you strolling the corridors, so long as you remained quiet.

Lighting up a candle, you started meandering through the halls, your footsteps nearly silent with no goal or destination in mind. You didn't even realize your feet had automatically taken you to the doors of his office, the same door that you have stared at many times, knowing that your husband was in there, but you had no reason or courage to open. You see the dimly lit light through the translucent paper sheets, and you knew that tonight was going to be another long night with no rest for him.

You sighed, not remembering the last time you had been in his office, and you were about to step away, but the door suddenly slides open rather violently. You flinch in shock because you didn’t expect for anything to happen, as he usually never notices your presence.

"Who is there?" He said in a serious tone, and you were finally greeted by the man who plagued your every thought and dreams. His hand laid on the hilt of his sword, almost as if he was ready to strike down any intruder who was lurking in the shadows. But instead of drawing his sword, he blinked a few times, realizing it was just you who stood there. He instantly let go of the sword and his expression relaxed a bit, although his eyebrows were furrowed slightly to show confusion. "Y/n? What are you doing here? It is almost 2am right now."

His presence stunned you for a second before you snapped out of the current awe-struck daze you were in. It had been quite a while since you've seen his face. He was rarely home anymore, but when he was, he would be holed up in his office. You only ever see him to greet him when he returned back home, and sometimes when he leaves, as he had a habit of sneaking out secretly every so often.

"Oh." You were flustered at this unexpected situation. "I had trouble sleeping, so I decided to go for a walk..."

"Is something troubling you?" He asked in concern. "If it is work-related with the household, then I know Ayaka would be happy to give you a hand.”

"It's not that..." You shook your head. You didn't want him to worry about you, so you tell him a small lie. "It's just one of those nights..."

"I see."

"Have you been faring well?" You then asked him.

He gave you a small, gentle smile, but you have seen this many times. It was one of the masks he wore when he wasn’t telling the truth.

"I've been doing alright," he replied. Anybody would've believed him, as he would never appear disheveled in front of anybody, but from the way his eyes had a slight dark tint underneath them and the mess that apparently was his desk with papers and pens strewn everywhere, you knew that he was far from so. "I was actually looking to take a break soon from my paperwork. Since you probably will be up for a little bit, would you care to join me?"

An invitation from him was rare, and you immediately jumped ship. You nodded. "Let me go prepare some tea."

"Oh, there's no need to do that."

"Nonsense," you gave him a reassuring smile, knowing what he was going to say. He was so considerate as always, not wanting to trouble you. "It will only be a few.”

You start to walk down the hall to head to the kitchen, but you were surprised to hear footsteps behind you. Before you knew it, Ayato was walking beside you, and you could hear your heart thumping in your chest.

"Ayato?" You questioned.

It was dim, as the candle was the only thing that lit the dark halls, so you can barely make out his expression.

"I'll tag along with you then." He said softly, as to not wake anybody else up. "It will be a good change of pace from being stuck in my office all night."

To you, he was so hard to read at times. If he was accompanying you, he surely must have his reasons, as he had never used any of his personal time on you before. He only accompanied you outside when he had a special meeting at an event that required for both spouses to arrive. Those were the only times when he was somewhat affectionate. That was why you were nervous when he decided to come along with you, thinking he had an ulterior motive like he usual does. But a small, small part of you hoped that it was something else; that he wanted to join you because he missed you and just wanted to idly chat.

You stepped into the kitchen and then lit a brighter lantern to illuminate the room using your own candle. But before you could do anything else, you watched as Ayato's hand pushed a portion of your hair aside. You couldn't help but feel your cheeks heat up at the action, your eyes making its way towards him now that you were able to see his face.

He wore a gentle smile on his face as he looked down at you tenderly. A rare expression indeed, you’ve only noted him to give this look to Ayaka. It made your heart hurt a little as it thumped away in your chest, feeling like you could soar to the moon and never come back.

"Your hair was getting close to the flames, so I didn't want it to burn,” he explained.

"Oh..." You didn't know what else you could say. "Thank you..."

With that, you started boiling the kettle of water, your body moving to find tea leaves. Ayato watches on without speaking a word, and you two drift into a somewhat lulling silence.

As you prepared your leaves, Ayato interrupted the silence no sooner than later.

“There’s another event that the Kanjou Commission is hosting,” he said. There it was. He needed you to attend another political event with him. You were once so naive to think that he would actually spend time with you just because he wanted to. You knew he hated small talk and would rather get straight to the point. “I was hoping you wouldn’t mind attending it with me.”

Of course you didn’t mind, if it meant that you would be spending more time with him. But even if you did expect for this, you were still disappointed.

“Sure. When will it be?”

“In two months. They’re hosting a party event to discuss upcoming financial plans for the winter.”

You nodded, your hands a little rougher than usual as you crushed up the dried tea leaves in the mortar. Usually you would hide your emotions well, but it definitely showed in the way you pounded at the leaves.

If Ayato had noticed your switch in moods, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he went over to the cabinet to grab two cups for the tea.

“I appreciate it. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you.”

Another blatant lie fueled only by courtesy. He always says this whenever you did a favor for him. If you were to truly ask for a favor, he would have Thoma somehow fulfill it, or he would say that he was too busy to do it himself, and that he would make it up later. He would send a gift, picked out by either Thoma or Ayaka of course, to later apologize for not fulfilling your promise.

And although it has only happened four or five times before you’d stop asking him for favors, knowing that he was too busy to fulfill them, it still left a bitter feeling within you.

You felt that it was selfish for you to feel this way. You knew that he had lost his parents at a young age, having to resume the role as the leader of the Yashiro Commission and head of the Kamisato Clan very early in life. You thought it wasn’t right for you to feel bitter about small things like this. Yet, as you glanced at the man in front of you, who barely looked at you and instead stared at the bright full moon outside, your heart ached at this solemn expression— one that loomed with fatigue and tiredness.

Maybe what you truly longed for was his happiness. Maybe you wanted to share that happiness with him, although you knew it would be a long shot. So long as he was the head of the Yashiro Commission, the leader of the Shuumatsuban, there will always be a distance between you two, as he prioritized things differently from any other typical person. Even though he was in the same room as you right now, as the moon peaked through the small window, the cicadas singing in the distance, he still looked as alone as ever. Like there was an unmeasurable length between you two, and you were too afraid to cross it, in fear that you would never be able to reach him.

The kettle soon starts to heat up, and you take it off the flame to start steeping the tea leaves. A few minutes of silence passed, and you wondered then if he was going to leave immediately after he finished his tea. It was still hot, so you had a couple more minutes left with him, right?

You poured the tea carefully in the cup and then proceeded to hand it over to him.

“It’s hot, so be careful.”

“Thank you,” he smiled at you and graciously accepted the tea. He picked it up to his lips, blowing it a few times as he inhaled the scent. “This smells like a different type of tea than the one you served at the event the other day.”

You remembered that event. You were attending a birthday party for an old couple who were close friends with the Kamisato’s. You brewed that tea with extra care, knowing that Ayato was going to drink it on that very occasion.

“It was truly delicious,” he complimented and you felt your heart soar at his words once more. “I know I never told you this, but it was one of my favorite hot teas.”

“I’m glad to hear that,” I smiled, making note to remember that information. “This one that I brewed helps with stress and calms the mind.”

He took a sip once the tea is cooled down a bit more. “I can see how this one can have that effect. It’s a very mild, but calming flavor. It’s a good choice for you to brew this, since it will probably help you sleep.”

Actually, you had brewed it for him, so that he wouldn’t stress so much, but you held your tongue back. Instead, you took a sip of the hot tea, trying to match his pace so that you both could finish at the same time.

“I hope you like it,” you said.

“I do enjoy it quite a bit,” he replied with a small smile on his face. “I will take it to my office and savor it. I appreciate you willing to spend time with me.”

“It’s my pleasure.”

“I hope you get some sleep soon, and try not to stay awake for too long,” your husband stated. “Please pardon me, I must return to my work.”

You forced out a smile in return, knowing that he had cut his time off with you short on purpose.

“Have a good night, Ayato.”

He gave a small nod as he walked out with the tea in his hand. You waited for the door to fully shut before you leaned on the counter with your back pressed to it.

He didn't even wait to finish the tea before he left. He just went straight to the point, pushing you aside as if your feelings had never mattered to him in the first place.

Your hands gripped the ceramic tea cup tightly. It felt like if you had held it tight enough, it would shatter and break, scalding your skin like the way your husband did just now.

Your tears dripped into the tea, the salty solution messing with the delicate taste of the drink as you sipped it, not wanting anything to go to waste. What was once a calming, smooth taste was now bitter.

So, so bitter.

It was another cruel, lonely night that awaited you.

Chapter 2 - House Party

CW: drinking, venti drunk, xiao n his dad fight

Tired of his father living vicariously through him, Xiao decides to start the band he's always dreamed about. Fame and wealth never mattered to him, he'd just want to feel part and contribute to a community that'd accept a broken man like him.

Starting a band in his friend's garage, Xiao runs into a problem: there's no drummer. Thus, auditions are held to be apart of the band. Our dear bassist has little to no experience with women, so how could he deal with one joining the band? Why did she bring so much of her 'girl drama' to rehearsals, and why is his ex trying to get back into his life?

Three girls sat in a car. The icy girl in a flowy denim skirt and off white off-the-shoulder long sleeve sweater with some Mary Jane’s. The firey girl with baggy jeans, layered cropped tank tops, and her Air Forces. And, of course, you, in baggy dark shorts with a grey cropped tank top and a baggy, half-zipped hoodie, with your beat up converse. A watermelon ice scented cloud came from the passenger seat. HuTao. “So, uh, are we gonna keep sitting in here or finally go in?”

“Let’s go over the plan again,” chimed our beloved designated driver, Ayaka. “Kazuha’s here, and we most likely won't be able to avoid him-”

“By ‘we’ you mean me?”

Sigh. “Yes, Y/N, you're we. Anyways. We know he’ll somehow manage to talk to you, but we just won't let that exceed any more than a minute.”

“I don't know why I agreed to this and dragged you guys along. Maybe I just-”

“Hey! But imagine that douche’s face when he sees you talking to someone hotter than him?” Tao joked, an attempt to boost your morale, “You know he’s always been the overly jealous type.”

“I guess so. It’s just been so recent,”

5 seconds of pondering.

“you know what? You're right! We haven't gone out to party or drink since forever ago. Let’s get inside.”

“That’s our girl.” Ayaka and HuTao bumped fists as they got out of their respective seats.

Y/N looked over to the brunette and tapped her index finger and thumb together, indicating a hit from the vape. It’s not like you always smoke, just socially. Drinking? Socially, of course. Otherwise you’d be considered an addict and that's not really lady-like.

Outside, there were some kids sitting on the lawn and skating along the sidewalk, a group beside the entrance smoking cigarettes and passing a blunt around. Inside, music blasted from the speakers and some 90’s movie about a killer that asks for your favorite scary movie playing on the tv at full volume. It was so loud you basically had to talk to the person’s ear for them to hear you. The house opened up to the living room, a crowd surrounding a table where a beer pong tournament was taking place. In the kitchen, some girls were baking a cake, but it wasn't as crowded as it led out to the backyard, where the other half of the people in attendance were. The dining room had another beer pong tournament. And of course, the upstairs was basically empty, bunch of freshman girls keeping people from going upstairs. Thank Gods Ayaka is frat sweetheart, even if she doesn't really go to their parties.

The three girls got separated. Already. Record time. Thoma was in attendance and decided to lead Ayaka upstairs where he would introduce his twin friends. HuTao decided to join in on the beer pong tournament being held in the dining room, still close enough to be within eyesight of Y/N.

Taking this chance, Y/N walked into the kitchen, which wasn't as loud as the other rooms were. The girls baking the cake were using the spacious kitchen counters, leaving the bottles on the island open for use. Grabbing a red solo cup, she mixing some sort of concoction, then grabbing some soda from the fridge as a chaser.

‘Shit. Might as well get crunk tonight-’

Splash!

The girls with the cake giggle to each other as they watched the scene unfold.

“I am- I’m so- Oh, my Gods- I’m so sorry, I didn't-”

A pale hand grabbed Y/N’s wrist and a deep sigh was let out.

“It- It’s fine,” he let go of her wrist, Y/N looking up to see it was Xiao that she spilled a drink onto. “I really hated this shirt anyways.”

He reached over her and grabbed himself a water bottle, then some napkins, then just left.

‘Ugh. How embarrassing.’ Y/N thought as she grabbed some napkins to clean up the spill on the floor.

As she’s squatted down, she hears a whistle and sees a pair of brown shoes approach her. “That was a little embarrassing,” Kazuha. “are you okay?” Great.

“Yes, I’m okay. Thanks.” Refuse eye contact, avoid those red eyes you loved so dearly!

“Need some help there?” The blonde asked, grabbed some extra napkins and helped you clean the rest of the drink. ‘Accidentally’ brushing his hand against yours. “Oops. Sorry.”

You stand up over him, just looking down at him. You're still a little embarrassed over the spillage, and seeing your ex that likes to toy with you doesn't make you feel any better. He also stands up, holding the cup with the sopping wet napkins inside. Eye contact. “I’m glad you came. This party would've been boring without you.”

“Enjoy the show?” Asshole.

“Come on, Y/N. I didn't expect you to spill a drink on someone. Just thought it’d be nice to see you, you really know how to illuminate a room.”

He brought his hand towards your cheek. Of course, you pulled away, taking a step back and crossing your arms.

Then a sad smile appeared on his face, just momentarily, he glanced around the room and locked eyes with someone. Kazuha turned his attention back to you. “Let me get going. Talk again soon. I’ll take you out for a drink? Maybe dinner. I’ll text you.” Leaving the cup on the counter nearby, he threw a wink at you as he fucked off somewhere else.

You grabbed the cup, throwing it into the trash right beside you. Watching him walk up to a pretty girl. You don't really know her name, but you’ve seen her around campus. Beautiful girl, long blue hair with icy, yet gentle, eyes. She always carried a sense of elegance around with her enough that it could rival Ayaka’s. However, your friend has something she doesn't. Confidence and charisma. While their presence are on par, Ayaka was always putting herself out there and talking to anyone and everyone on campus. Might as well talk to your peers if you're on the student council. Yet, somehow, you still feel a sting in your heart.

That was never his type. He’s quiet, he’s romantic, sure. But he’s always expressed how he appreciates someone lively over someone with a personality close to his. He’s always adored your cheerfulness, the way you clap your hands whenever he gets you your favorite drink, how loud you scream on roller coasters, how you would tickle him in bed before falling asleep (despite him not being ticklish). Whatever. Past is past and now is… now. And now, you're sitting on the table, arms crossed and your head between them. One of the cake girls gave you a slice, so maybe tonight's not too bad.

“Kazuha.. That bastard!” Hutao slurred only slightly. You look up, seeing how her face had turned red. As hell. Asian glows really don't play.

“Yeah, it’s whatever. Wanna split this cake with me?” You asked, watching Hutao sit beside you.

“I do love chocolate cake.”

– Xiao POV –

One of the last places Xiao would’ve wanted to be that night would be in a garage with Venti drunk off his ass and Itto hotboxing his garage. If he was Itto’s neighbor he would've just rather move across the country.

In the room with them was also Itto’s girlfriend, Shinobu. Ganyu and Yanfei were in as well, but decided to go to other parts of the house and chill in one of the bedrooms where they kept their stuff in. Really, it was to avoid smelling like a skunk and dog shit.

“Y’know, I’m surprised your dad let you out this late. Don’t he be wanting that good quality time?”

Xiao scoffed. “All he does is bitch and moan about working with him someday if what I’m doing doesn't work out. He’s already bitched enough about me wanting to start a band and playing my guitar.”

He looked down at the cigarette between his fingers. He’s already smoked two and was debating on smoking a third one. He looked down by his chair to find his water bottle missing.

Miraculously Venti was suddenly drinking water beside him. Dumbass. Well, at least he knew better. Xiao carpooled, his only rule for Venti is for him to drink enough water so he won't vomit in the front seat again.

“I’m gonna get a water.”

“O- okay.”

Itto hacked out as more clouds escaped from his lungs, holding the bong closer to his chest so it won't slip out his hands.

Xiao slips between drunken guests, some couple is making out outside the bathroom door, and the frat guys are throwing footballs across the room. So annoying.

He enters the kitchen, also surprised on how tame it was compared to the rest of the house. Just some girls recording themselves decorating a cake with pictures and giggling after saying “smash”. Then there's someone at the fridge, a familiar silhouette in front of him but he can't quite remember who, nor does he really care on who it is.

Suddenly, Xiao feels a coldness touch his stomach and spread around. Fuck. Of course they're drunk. Xiao decided to wear some stupid graphic white tee shirt that day. He knew it was a stupid choice but he didn't really consider someone would spill a drink on him. Whatever.

“-so sorry- I didn't-”

Xiao grabbed her wrist, “It- It’s fine,” he didn't really want to deal with a conversation. Bro just wanted water. “I really hated his shirt anyways.” Truth. Some old shirt his dad got him some years ago, has some band he was somewhat into that he doesn't really care about anymore. He let go of her wrist to examine his shirt. Whatever she was gonna drink was strong and would leave a pink stain on his shirt.

His golden eyes locked in with her’s for a second.

‘Oh shittt’

Venti’s friend.

Now he’s embarrassed.

‘Better make this quick’

Xiao reached over her and grabbed his water bottle, then grabbed some napkins on the counter and quickly walked back to meet back with his friends.

Upon entering the garage, Itto bursted out into a loud laugh.

“Oh man! Did your ex get mad at you again?”

“Not this time. Venti’s friend spilled a drink on me. I don't know if she was already drunk.”

The drunkard’s ears perked up.

“Which one?”

Xiao started dabbing his shirt, trying to get as much liquid off as he could. “I forgot. She’s got [hair color] hair, about this tall.” He motioned with his hand.

“Hmm. Doesn't really ring a bell.”

Bro’s drunk as hell.

“I’ll go get you another shirt, sorry about that,” offered Shinobu. She's actually pretty decent and smart. Law major and in one of his cousins' classes. Still a surprise and why she’d end up dating Itto’s dumbass. Especially with how often he gets in trouble with the law.

Xiao checked the time on his phone. Almost 1am. He had a class early in the morning so might as well get going after he changes.

“Venti, put your shoes on. We’re heading out soon.”

“Wha- Whaat? But the night is soo young~” he slurred along.

“Awh man, already leavin’?” Itto said as he tried his best at making puppy eyes. As if a grown ass man can be cute. Cue in Shinobu with a new shirt.

The shirt was smaller than he expected; most likely Shinobu’s as Itto is a rather big guy. A little old but not raggedy. Dark grey with some restaurant logo in the front. He took off his own drenched shirt and put on the clean shirt, noticing how it fit somewhat tighter than he thought but only around the arms.

“Thank you for the shirt. I’ll see you guys later.”

Xiao said as he grabbed Venti from the back of his collar and dragged him out, throwing his wet shirt over his head.

The car ride home was mostly silent. His little friend is surprisingly the quiet type when drunk, often just stuck in his head and mumbles his conversations. So far he’s been mumbling about some cakes from a shop he's been eyeing.

“Mmm.. Soft.. Absolutely… Tiny pastries…”

It was about a 20 minute drive from Itto’s, so it wasn't long until he arrived at his house. Parking in front of the garage, Xiao walked around and opened his drunk passengers door, making sure to be quick to catch him as he was sure to fall out the seat and onto the pavement.

The area was silent, often quieting down an hour or so after sunset. Hopefully Venti would be quiet this time. Some nights he’d come home after another party and be so loud, neighbors open their windows to tell him to be quiet. Tonight, thankfully, he just let himself be dragged. The taller boy had a spare key to the drunkard���s place. His mom was the sweetest woman around, often bringing over a cake or cookies around Xiao’s birthday.

After slipping into the home and shutting the door, Xiao headed upstairs towards the bathroom. Venti hasn't thrown up yet. Maybe that’s why he's been silent. As soon as Venti felt the cold porcelain, he let everything go out. First it was just him spitting into the water, shortly afterwards it was just the dinner his mom prepared, the two small, round alcoholic bottles that were brightly blue, and lastly the endless shots from playing some drinking game with Itto.

The sober man sat on the edge of the tub, rubbing his back and moving his braids out of his face. Hopefully the water that was stolen by him would help with the hangover.

After Venti’s throw up fest, the small boy just leaned his head against the toilet seat. “Hey, what happened to your shirt?”

“Your friend spilled a drink on me. Do you not remember me telling you?”

A small wince, “No… Which friend?”

“Don't worry about it. It was an accident. Let's get you into bed.”

Flushing the toilet, Venti stood up and leaned his body weight against Xiao’s. They were about the same height, Xiao being slightly taller. And toned. Venti wasn't really big on working out, but if invited out for a hike he was sure to go.

They reached the room down the hall, opening it up and Venti being tossed onto the bed. Xiao went thru his closet and found some pj’s then threw it at his friend, who was already working on getting naked to change.

“Thank… you.” Venti’s voice slurred, as he was already getting sleepy.

“Yeah, anytime. See you later.” Xiao waved as he closed the door to his bedroom and exited his home.

Walking across the street into his house, he was hoping, praying, his dad wouldn't be awake. He’s always talking about how Xiao should stay home for more family time. But his family time is watching whatever sport team is playing, but Gods forbid Xiao speaking up during the game, don't even think about getting up to use the restroom. That’s disobedience, according to his dad. He wasn't always like that, but sometimes that's what happens when alcohol gets involved in a mourning process.

“Yer back late, ain’t’cha?”

‘Shit…’

“Yeah, just dropped off Venti. Gonna head into bed now-”

“You smell like weed. You haven't been smoking, right, son? You know you can't get a job if you smoke.”

“No. I didn't smoke. Sorry I stink, I’ll shower in the morn-”

“NO!”

His father was sitting on the dining room table, perfect view of the front door. He slammed his hands onto the table.

“You know better. You know I raised you better. To be a better man.”

God, how annoying.

“Dad, all you do at home is get drunk, while I'm your house maid. I’m tired. I don't wanna do-”

“Oh you don't wanna talk about it? Real men talk about the shit going on! You're so disrespectful!"

“Oh! I’m disrespectful? I stay home all day and I keep this place spotless. I was gone for a week and you trashed this place. You can't even work without me.”

“I’m so tired of your disrespecting. I’m a well-respected man, y’know? I put food on the table, I put clothes on your back, a roof over your head. When I was your age I still respected my father.”

“Yeah? The bare minimum? What you're SUPPOSED to do? As a decent caregiver? You barely do shit around the house. You’re just a lonely and sad man!”

“Get the fuck out of my house. You're so disrespectful, your mother would HATE-”

“She’d fucking hate YOU! You're not the man she knew anymore.”

“I said get the FUCK out of my house!”

Whatever. Whatever. Really, whatever!

Xiao knew this would've happened. It’s not the first time but it wouldn't be the last time. He’s already packed a gym bag full of extra clothes and shoes ready to ‘get the FUCK out’.

He had a carrier ready for Mila, too. He’d never leave the cat with him. His cat. While he knew his dad would never harm an animal, he still wouldn't wanna leave his cat with someone who doesn't even know how to take care of himself.

He ran upstairs and threw his bags out the window, waking Mila up to get her in her carrier. He always kept portable pet items in his trunk, just in case this happened again.

With all his bags thrown out the window, Xiao just grabbed Mila’s carrier and walked down the stairs. Avoiding eye contact with his father. Maybe he had tears in his eyes, maybe his eyes were full of anger. It doesn't matter. He didn't wanna see him again.

Stepping outside, there were some neighbors peeking outside through their curtains, others standing outside just watching the house with all the ruckus. So nosy.

He turned on his car, slipping Mila onto the passenger seat, then opening his trunk to throw in his bags. Getting his stuff settled, he started to put the car in reverse.

Just then, his dad ran out the house.

“Son! Xiao! Son, please. Please come back inside, I’m sorry-”

He pounded on his door window, which only motivated Xiao to reverse faster out the driveway and speed off down the street. Must've been like 2am now and he doesn't really have enough to stay at a motel for a few days.

Shit.

Then a sudden, definitely dumb, idea popped into his head.

“Don't worry girl, I’ll keep you safe.”

Xiao cooed at the cat, who responded with a meow and purrs.

He decided to head back to Itto’s.

Hopefully the party is still going on. It was only still picking up speed when he first left anyways.

Pulling up to the street, of course the party was still going on. Somewhat. There were still people but it wasn't too loud anymore. Most of them left already as the street was mostly cleared out. He grabbed Mila’s carrier and walked up to the door. Passing by a girl crying and being comforted by her friends, guess she had a shitty night. Makes both of us.

Entering the home once again, most of the people in attendance were passing a blunt across the room, completely ignoring the couple in the corner making out.

One of the girls that was in the blunt rotation noticed Xiao. She was in his class the semester prior. A regular at Itto’s parties as well. They weren't friends but they were project partners at some point so I guess they were on friendly terms. “Oh, hey Xiao! Itto’s in the kitchen.” She said, waving at him, then turning back to her group as it was her turn to take another hit from a blunt being passed around.

He nodded his head towards her as a thanks then turned around the corner to head towards the kitchen.

“Hey-hey-hey! Look who’s finally back!” Itto’s voice boomed, as he took a sip from his beer can. Shinobu was nowhere to be seen. Probably headed to bed already. “Whatcha got there in that lil cage?”

“Uh, my cat. Mila. She’s friendly,” Xiao raised her carrier to be in view of Itto, watching his face soften at the sight of a beautiful cat. Patches of black and orange surrounding her face, whereas most of her body was white with the same patches decorating her. Itto automatically leaned over, sticking his finger in to pet her.

“Hey, man, this is really embarrassing. And no hard feelings if you say no, but would it be possible if I could crash here for a few days?”

“Venti told me a bit about your dad. I’m assuming this gotta do with that, huh?”

Slow, shameful nod.

“Yeah, no prob. This was my granny’s house before she left. Lottsa rooms upstairs. Pick any one you’d like, only two ocupado are the two on the right side of the hallway.

Thank fuck.

“I really appreciate this, man. I’m sorry I just pulled up with this.”

“It’s cool man. The more the merrier.” Itto said, shooing Xiao along to get his stuff set.

And of course, Xiao headed upstairs to pick out a room. Which ended up having a window that viewed the front yard. He set Mila on the bed, opening her cage to allow her to roam the room and stretch.

After various trips going up and down the stairs and just throwing his bags in front of the closet, he threw himself onto the bed and sighed. Four fuzzy legs walking above his chest and plopping herself down, with purrs filling the room.

Everything will be fine.
