Kamisato Ayato x Reader

I got sick while making this so if some scenes/parts just don't make sense I apologize No, I'm definitely not using my sickness as an excuse for my bad writing

WARNINGS: !!Mentions of Y/Ns mental state!! (Only once at the start) Super ooc, bad grammar, profanity, and full of nonsense

Words: 1484

Part 1, Part 2 (You’re here!)

It’s been a few months since you left the estate

You still haven’t received any news about Ayato's return, which makes you slightly worried, but hey, at least these past few months, your mental health has gotten better

No Ayato = no unnecessary drama = peace = better mental state

Your shop has been doing well

The old regulars are now back and happily buying the things they needed but couldn't get due to the market price

Everything is back to normal

Yeah, no. It isn't completely back to normal

You have quite the reputation and even have multiple names. One popular name is "Two-faced Demon"

Why? There have been rumors circulating that you talked badly about Ayato, your spouse, around others while remaining an innocent doll around Ayato and vice versa

And due to your not-so-favorable reputation, you sometimes get some unwanted customers that want to ruin your business

Thankfully, though, you have some reliable friends that keep unwanted customers out

But even that has downsides

Some people are now wary of your shop and refuse to even look in the same direction as your shop when they pass by it, as they might suddenly get attacked by being an “unwanted customer”. It's pretty stupid to do, but it’s best to be cautious, right?

Reopening the shop has helped you, sure, but even that becomes stressful

It’s hard to manage it all by yourself, and you surely can’t leave it all alone when you go adventuring in the near future

And so you came up with a solution to reduce the overwhelming stress and future problems concerning the shop. Hire employees!

With the help of Thoma and Ayaka, you managed to scout a few trustworthy people who’re perfect for the job

All of them are quick learners and hard workers, which is perfect! With only a few more pieces of guidance, you can peacefully leave everything in their capable hands

Two months passed quickly, and everyone can now handle everything by themselves, even without your presence

Li Hua, in particular, is quite the master at her job.

You won’t have any lingering worries with her taking care of everything there

And with that, you’re all ready to go back to adventuring!

“Leaving already?”

“Hm? Oh! Heizou, yup! The unsolved mysteries out there are calling out to me."

“Oh really?”

“I can hear it whispering, “Y/N~ Y/N~~ Come solve this mysterious ancient puzzle!””

“Puzzles..Say, what if I come with you?”

“No, you ca—” You get cut off by Heizou pressing a finger on your lips

“Ah, ah, ah, I promise it’ll be fun! Besides, I can prove to be extremely useful to you when it comes to solving puzzles.”

“Yeah, but—”

“Do you doubt my abilities? If so, that really hurts my poor, poor heart.”

“I know your capabilities better than anyone Heizou. We grew up together.”

“If you know what my capabilities are, then why won’t you let me come then." Heizou pouts.

“You perfectly know why.”

“Do I?”

“Don’t play dumb with me. You have an important job here, Heizou. I can’t just take you with me.”

“I don’t even know when I’ll be back in Inazuma.”

“Y/N! Everything’s already set, just waiting on you,” Beidou semi-whispers.

“I’ll be there soon. Just..Saying some goodbyes to a friend.”

Heizou watches from the sidelines as you interact with Beidou. A tinge of jealousy and longing is present in his eyes, but it goes away quickly before anyone can see it

"Soo, I guess this is it. I’ll try my best to keep in contact with you. Promise. And maybe when we meet again, we can have a drink or two? "You held out a pinky finger towards Heizou

Heizou chuckles. “Well then, I’ll hold you up to that promise.” He intertwines his own pinky with yours

'Oh..'

Only now, as you say your final goodbyes to Heizou, do you realize how charming your best friend is.

His burgundy hair is flowing in the wind, his light olive green eyes are glistening in the sun, and his charming smile shows a hint of mischievousness.

'I'm sure whoever he'll get together with will be lucky.'

You quickly turn away from him upon realizing what you’re currently thinking

“Hey~ Why’d you turn away from me so harshly? Do you really not want to see my face that badly?" He says in a teasing tone, almost as if knowing what was going on inside your head

“That’s not it. I just—Ugh." You stumble over your words. Now that you think about it, Heizou has always had this effect on you. The man just knew how to make you speechless and stumble on your own words

“Alright, alright, that’s enough teasing.” Beidou interrupts

'Beidou! My savior!'

With that, Beidou drags you over to the Alcor(Crux fleet?? What’s the difference again)

While boarding, you catch a glimpse of platinum blonde hair

After settling down in your temporary room on the ship

You set out to find the owner of the platinum blonde hair. It’s been quite a long time since you last met, after all

“It seems that fate has once again made our paths cross.”

Oh, how you missed hearing that melodic voice of his

“It seems so..” You sit down next to where he sits at the edge

“Who would’ve thought you’d be here all along?”

Silence envelopes you both

“It hurt a lot, you know..”

Kazuha remains silent and listens attentively

“You suddenly went missing after the shogunate declared you to be an enemy for eternity. I was worried sick. I thought that maybe you’d been killed.”

“I’m sorry” is all that leaves Kazuha's lips. It’s spoken so softly and quietly that one would think it was just a whisper of the wind

There in the back of the ship, hidden away from everyone, you sit by Kazuha as you cry into his arms and whisper the things you’ve always wanted to say to the man, and even the things that are of another matter. The worries and pain you’ve kept to yourself

It's sort of ironic that instead of being open to your husband, you’re much more open to your other friends. Especially this man called Kaedehara Kazuha, he has this air around him that makes you feel secure and relaxed and spill all your secrets and feelings, adding to the fact that you've known this man for much longer than you've known your husband.

You know that whatever secret you tell him, he’ll keep it to himself until his very last breath. That’s how much you trust and confide in Kazuha.

"Hey..I'm sorry for, y'know, this whole crying thing.."

"It's perfectly fine, dove. It's best to let it all out rather than keeping it to yourself."

"Besides, isn't listening to your troubles also part of my job as your knight?"

"Pfft, my knight, huh? Well, then, Mr. Knight care to tell me why you didn't bother to tell me where you went? As my knight, it's only right for you to report to me."

"That's..I apologize. I had to flee immediately and couldn't risk putting you in danger by contacting you."

"What about contacting me by using another person? Like, I don't know, making Beidou deliver a message to me."

"I'd rather not trouble her with my problems. She's already done me a big favor by letting me hide out here."

"Fine, fine. I won't push the issue any further. Guess you're forgiven for now, Mr. Knight."

"Why, thank you, my liege" he chuckles while giving you a bow

The day ends with your and Kazuha's laughter filling the air

Once the moon has disappeared, the sun appears again on the horizon.

And the sun signifies that a new day has come.

You woke up to the sounds of the lively crew moving on and about. After getting yourself ready, you begin to head out.

Upon arriving on the deck, you notice how you've almost reached Liyue Harbor. It seems that the sea decided to be kind and didn't cause the voyage to be longer than necessary.

After what felt like hours, you've finally arrived and docked.

Kazuha, being the gentleman that he is, decided to lend you a hand in getting off the ship.

"I'd love to show you around, but unfortunately, the Alcor will be leaving soon after getting some resources we need." Kazuha tried to hide his unhappiness by giving you his signature charming smile, but as you've known him since you guys were kids, you quickly saw past his facade.

Seeing Kazuha smile with the sun perfectly behind him, as if purposefully illuminating him, is a breath-taking sight. First Heizou, now Kazuha, why is it only now that you've noticed how good-looking your childhood friends are?

To be fair, Kazuha was quite popular with the ladies; even when you guys were still children, the girls would flock around him as if he were some deity.

'Wait, no, Y/N, stop thinking about these things. You already have a husband! You have to stay loyal, no matter how shitty your husband may be. You can't just cheat or think these things about other people.'

'Well, this is it. A new place, a new life'

giuwfgeahsjk, this is it for this part! I might make the next part tomorrow, but for now, I need my sleep.

NOTE: I DO NOT CONDONE INFIDELITY. THIS IS PURELY A WORK OF FICTION.

[wri0thesley]

i love an emotionally repressed man but the moment that he starts being an asshole or angry with the repression i go off him completely. this is why i fuck with diluc and gepard but xiao, scaramouche and blade make me want to commit murders.

[hei-mii]

Been a while since I last drew anything uh,, unholy,, so here I am.. Kazuha riding… uhem.. under the cut 

[lunarelly]

i love my characters to be trauma addled in the same way a filthy little raccoon is riddled with fleas

[gold-rhine]

@lord-of-mystilts i'm not trying to talk ppl out of pulling xilonen, i think she's going to be great and like, having a second kazuha is really good. like if one side of abyss has a lot of enemies you can put kazuha here, and xilonen on the other side for bosses bc bosses dont need grouping.

my point was more that ppl should understand what situation is xilonen great for, which i listed in that post, but shortly - when you dont need to group, in teams where its hard to swirl both elements and\or dps wants to stay on field for a long time, like mualani vape, and if you play furina in these teams a lot, because xilonen enables her as a healer.

if you decide between her and nahida, think about what teams you want to play. if you want strong dendro teams, nahida is the best option, alhaitham teams, generally hyperbloom, nilou teams, aggravate with anyone (keqing, clorinde, raiden, yae), spread with tighnari, etc. there are some dendro characters who might fit a niche better, for example, emilie is a dendro made for burn\burgeon, but nahida is a generalist who can basically cover all your dendro needs. xilonen will not do anything for dendro teams or for anemo dps like xiao or scara.

but if you play a lot of teams that have two elements which are hard to swirl at the same time, again, mualani or hu tao vape, rizzley melt, stuff like that, ESPECIALLY if you play them with furina, then xilonen might be more valuable.

decision to wait and see actual play results is wise, just keep in mind what teams and what situations people are testing her in, and if these teams are relevant for you personally

READY FOR MY SON❗️

[designers-teaparty]

Closing my eyes whenever I see Genshin ship art bc we don't have the time and energy to get obsessed with this stuff

[viaetor]

a near-electric spark courses through kazuha's fingers as he gently presses his palm, freed from its usual wraps, against the famed traveler's chest (stars and skies dangling at his fingertips as he does so). a gentle smile lightens up his features, creates crinkles at the corner of his eyes. how long has it been, since they'd last bid each other goodbye on the docks of inazuma? "i have missed this scent of burning stars..." the samurai mutters; crimson eyes rising up to meet molten amber, up close, so close their noses are practically touching. ah, how oft he had dreamt of this reunion; and not once in his wildest dreams, had it been as sweet as the real thing. "and i have missed you."

@apocryphis ㅤㅤ/ㅤㅤUNPROMPTEDㅤㅤ/ㅤㅤalways accepting!

ㅤㅤseasons change, time passes, and new scars are collected like trophies. 

ㅤㅤsummer winds warmed ships’ sails, testing the resiliency of masts, captains and crew alike—so agitated some parts of the ocean got that it was easy to lose sight of fellow boats, shrouded by hills of hungry waves. the sky of scorching sun rays would quickly transform into thunderstorms as well, and much to the dismay of specialised navigators, the wind was either ferocious or lethargic, harder to predict this time of the year. on all accounts, it was ill-advised to travel to inazuma during such months; the trip was long and perilous and, therefore, more expensive. in short, not worthy to anyone. many sailors promised interested travellers at the docks that it was best to wait for the autumn breeze, it’d soon come about in a few weeks, provisions would be easier to administer, and many lurking dangers would be minimised. they even patted aether’s back, giggling at his eagerness. aether had time, they assured him. indeed, he had all the time in the world. perhaps even more.

ㅤㅤhe could’ve waited, it’s true. no matter how fleeting, there would be other autumns, winters, springs and summers. despite having written kazuha a letter telling him he’d be there on the next crescent moon, aether knew kazuha would understand if he was late. by a month, by a year, by a decade—only gods knew how gentle and forgiving that samurai could be. he could visit him another time, and tales foretold that the stars would compensate for his patient mind and spirit. there was no virtual reason for him to be in such a hurry. a whim was all that moved him. desire, passion, yearning, call it what you will—surely, it could be subdued with reason. but not this time. so instead of sitting and sulking, the caeling set sail by himself, leaving behind concerned shouts at liyue harbor. if there was one thing he had learned in all his fables, it was that, sometimes, you needed to pick up the pace. he’d apologise for taking one of pinghai’s boats later.

ㅤㅤwith scrapes on his cheek and arms from battles fought against sea monsters and lightning, unkempt hair and maresia glued to his lips, he docked his ship on ritou. he looked around as if looking for something (someone), until a smile was coerced from his stoic expression. he was really there. just like the last time. and the last. and the last. and the next. amongst the waving trees, loving crimson hues ran in his direction. aether dropped the ropes and whatever bags he held in his arms—and ran where the wind guided him.

ㅤㅤinside his chest, beat no heart. a burning star core was all there was to it—a pragmatic thing it was truly, akin to a battery to let others know that the caeling lived still. nothing as magical as a human heart or that precious little grin on the poet’s face. yet… when kazuha caressed there with curious fingertips, he almost felt like he could have one. he wondered if kazuha felt the same way when aether caressed his silver strands and calculated how much they had grown out since the last time they saw each other. he wanted to take in every fibre of his being and cherish them. he hoped his companion felt as alive—as intoxicated—when he dared to adventure his touch. but aether’s love was of the whispery kind, so he wouldn’t ask—he preferred to lean in, grazing the tips of their noses slowly, longingly. he wondered if he tasted as sweet as his voice. it’d have been so easy to brush their lips together, to dive in for a kiss, to sigh in relief while drinking from maple pits. but for this? for this, aether had time; plenty of time. for this, he could wait for autumn, or for winter, or for spring, or for the next summer. even if his claws and fangs itched, he had all the time in the world. for this. for him.

ㅤㅤ“hmmm, is that so…?” there was a throaty hum as the outlander breathed in the herbs on pearly hair before touching their foreheads together, followed by a loose grin of a voyager who seemed to have found a treasure worth detouring for. he thus wrapped a strand of the ronin’s hair on his gloved index right before kissing the tips as melting gold met reds. yes. he had all the time of the world. “then we should watch the beautiful moon together, kazuha.” but that didn’t mean he could tease him just a little bit.

[mintchocolateleaves]

okay, but just imagine with me a moment: shinran dancing the Argentinian tango to jealousy during a case / event.

[seoulmatez]

was trying and failed to acquire mualani but i tried my (terrible) luck with my measly ten pulls for raiden shogun and actually got her ! !
