You trecked your way back to the gate of Mondstadts with wobbly steps, rubbing your sore neck as you angled your head to look at the night sky.

"Welcome, back! You- oh.." Lawrence, the guard at the gates welcomed you. Though, you didn't really seem to be in the condition to talk.

"Nice to be back.." You mumbled, giving him a small wave before entering. The guards eyes following you to make sure you didn't collapse or anything.

Now... To get all the way to Barbara... That seemed like a pain. More pain then you were already in!

So... You'll just stop by with Kathryne.

"Ad Astra Ab-" the girl stopped her usual catchphrase as she took in your appearance. Why was everyone not talking to you? You were just bleeding from.. A lot of points.

"Can I get some medical assistance?" You asked with a wry smile, shutting your left eye.

Katheryne blinked down at you in surprise, it was different from how she usually looked but she nodded nonetheless. "Right.. I'll find who I can.."

Barbara was busy with another patient, and Jean could go without having to deal with another job. But then... Who else did that leave?

She looked over at your condition, watching as you sat down at a nearby bench with pain written all over your face. Right... He wasn't exactly the most ideal healer, but...

It was worth a shot.

_______________

"Oh gosh, are you alright?!" You could hear a voice from afar as you looked up, a boy with white hair and stray googles on his head running toward you with speed that almost passed humane levels. "Don't worry! I'll patch you up-"

Before the boy could even finish his sentence, he tripped over... Nothingness and he was sent flying to the floor.

He groaned in pain before he sat up, rubbing his forehead before he looked back up at you. Eyes widening like he barely saw your condition.

"Sheesh, are you okay?" He asked once more, finally being able to make it over to you without tripping.

You let out a sigh at his words as you shut your eyes, leaning further against the bench you were on. "I've seen better days..."

Bennett nodded, he was sure he could agree. Whenever he came back after a commission, he was never in a good condition. But at least he had Barbara available.

He was.. Never one that was needed to help...

Suddenly, he found himself getting sentimental. He couldn't fail you, even if he had never met you until now! He wouldn't let you down!

He crouched down in front of you with a wry smile, his eyebrows knitted in worry as he analyzed you.

"Um... My healing can burn... A bit..." Bennett warned you, rubbing the back of his neck. "So... Sorry in advance..." He smiled.

You nodded awkwardly as a bead of comedic sweat rolled down your head. You were sure nothing could be more painful than this...

____________

You were actually right, that shit didn't hurt at all. In fact, it made you feel a lot better.

Well, you were still a bit sore, and his healing was a bit sloppy... But it was alright!

You grazed your hand over your sloppily bandaged arms, a feeling of distant pain still present but nonetheless okay.

"Hey... I'm feeling a whole lot better..!" You smiled, rolling your arms. The boy let out a massive sigh, probably one of relief. Who know he was such a capable person? Definitely not him..

"What can I do to pay you back..?" You asked, a smile still present on your face as you stood up. This guy was like some sort of miracle worker...

The boy thought for a moment before shaking his head, "I-I don't deserve your praise!" He laughed awkwardly, "any team leader would heal anyone, free of charge!"

You frowned as you stared at him for a moment, letting his words process in your brain before you smiled. "Oh! You're a team leader!?" You asked, helping him back onto his feet from his constant crouching. "That's so cool! I've always wanted to be a part of a team!" You grinned, placing your hand over his two hands that were laced together.

The boys eyes widened, a soft blush settling on his cheeks at how close you were. He was so used to people avoiding him like the plague... "D-do you wanna... Join my adventure team...?" He asked shyly.

You paused for a moment, tightening your grip over his two hands before you slowly began to nod. "Yeah... I do wanna join you!" You grinned.

"Hey, what's your name?" You asked, letting go of his hands before walking over toward Kathryne. Good thing you hadn't walked far.

"Um... B-Bennett.." He stuttered, scratching his cheek. Maybe if he told you his name he wouldn't want to stick around, anymore...

"Oh... The unlucky guy..." You hummed, putting a finger under your chin. "Joining you sounds like a lot of fun..." You grinned.

"Though... How exactly do I sign up for a team?"

Bennett stood frozen in his spot, hands still in the air from you holding them up before he walked toward you.

"I'll show you..!" He offered, speed walking toward you with a hop in his step before he stood next to you.

He'd just hope for now that you didn't leave his side...

Bennett x Reader - "that's a nice hand you got there, can I hold it for you?"

"Can I?" You mumbled, looking up at the white-haired teen as your hand hovered over one of his wounds.

He looked off to the side before he looked down at you. "G-go ahead! I don't mind.." He smiled, rubbing the back of his head.

You nodded before looking down at his hand, you had no idea how the hell a sharp rock like this existed, much less how it managed to tear past the boys gloves.

"This might sting." You warned before dabbing some anti-infection cream or whatever it was on his small wound.

Bennett simply smiled down at you in place of a whinced-reaction you expected. "My hands aren't in the best condition..." He shrugged once you two made eye contact, I tried using lotion to make them soft but it didn't exactly work.."

"Eh, I think they're fine for such an unlucky person." You hummed, wrapping a bandage over it. "In fact, it's a hand I wouldn't mind holding." You grinned, tearing away the bandage once you finished.

"Oh.." Bennett blinked sheepishly before a blush settled on his cheeks. "Oh! Haha, you can- hold it? Was that what you were trying to say? Oh, um- hold it if you want! Augh-" the boy cursed his luck, concluding that it in fact, cursed his entire sentence.

You laughed before sitting next to him, moving his arm softly before intertwining your hand with his.

The boy looked away out of embarrassment as he cleared his throat, "I don't think this is a good idea! My bad luck could kick in at any moment." Despite his words, he didn't actually want you to stop holding his hands.

"It's nice though, isn't it?" You smiled, glancing at him before resting your head on his shoulder. In response, he stiffened before calling himself down.

"Y-yeah.. I think it's nice..." He nodded, the blush on his face was basically yelling. If he wasn't so unlucky, maybe you would actually like him. Though, he was already lucky enough to have you stick around with him.

The peace had lasted for a moment before a group of passing hilichurls had noticed the two of you. It was honestly quite annoying, bitches finally get to hold their crushes hand and get interrupted by some stupid ass hilichurls!

"I knew my bad luck would kick in..." Bennett sighed before standing up, already summoning his sword. Along with you summoning your own weapon.

You looked at the two approaching Hilichurls before you looked at Bennett, your gaze constantly shifted before it landed on your teammate.

"Let's just run!" You grinned before shifting your foot and running off. "Huh-?! Hold on, wait for me!" Bennett panicked before following behind you.

The two of you ran until you made it to Vennessas tree, it was a nice, calm place, that would be perfect for-!

"Gah,, I'm kind of tired.." You huffed, catching your breath as you looked back at Bennett. If there was a Bennett-!

"Hey! Where'd you go?" You panicked and glanced around, looking for your friend.

The boy appeared from a crowd of bushes with a few scratches on his face, a hand behind his head, and a smile on his lips. "I'm right here..." He spoke to catch your attention.

"Oh, what the heck!" You panicked before running toward him. "What the hell happened to mess you up so badly!?" You asked before putting your hands on his face, observing the scratches on it.

"I fell in a bush! It's nothing to bad..." He smiled as he glanced down at you, another blush making it's way onto his face before he grabbed your hands, carefully giding your hands back down to your side.

As much as he liked your touch, it would probably just trigger another stroke of bad luck. "I'm sorry about that, it must be such a burden to hang around with me..." He frowned.

You let out a sigh before smiling. "I love hanging around with you! It's never boring, you know." You laughed before grabbing his hand again, "lets fix you up."

"You already helped me today, you don't have to..." He mumbled in shame as you shook your head.

"It's not a problem, really! Getting to hold you hand was worth it." You grinned as you continued walking.

Bennett tilted his head as the two of you settled down beneath an empty area beneath Vennessas tree. "I thought people only held hands with the people they liked."

Your face fell before you let out a laugh, this guy was either extremely dumb, or dense. Maybe both.

"Why do you think I wanna hold yours?" You asked, leaning in close with a smile. Bennett backed away, the blush on his face delayed as he blinked sheepishly.

"Oh.." He managed to say, a smile taking it's time to form on his face. "You're really smooth..!" He laughed, "I'm not talking about your hand... But it's not- I'm not saying it's not smooth, what I meant is that you were really smooth by you know-"

"Stop." You deadpanned, placing a hand over his mouth to get him to stop talking. "I understood what you meant, Benny." You smiled before moving your hand to cup his cheek. You went silent for a moment before bringing your hand down.

"I like you a lot, you know." You hummed, brushing the fringe of his hair to observe the scratches on his face. "A little bit of bad luck wouldn't change that."

The poor boy needed a good moment to process everything. A soft blush settled in on his face along with the information.

"I always thought that if I fell in love, my feelings wouldn't be reciprocated..." He chuckled nervously. "You're a pretty strange person.." He mumbled before lifting up his arms awkwardly.

"Can I?" He asked, it took all his will power to not look away.

"Go ahead." You nodded, lifting your arms up aswell.

He took the chance, and your consent, to wrap his arms around you. Resting his head on your shoulder. "I like you a lot, [Firstname]..." He confessed. You could've sworn you could feel his entire body warm-up.

"I like you, too." Your words came out in a breathless whisper. Come on, a confession is enough to take someone's breath away, alright?

[shawtynagito]

"... What happened to your face?" You asked the white-haired boy who had just entered

Despite all the scratches, he was still smiling.

"Is it really that bad? I thought you wouldn't notice!" He laughed, scratching the back of his head. "I would've used my fire, but I didn't want my face to be all burnt up.."

You let out a sigh as you stood up, recently, he had stopped bothering Barbara and started heading straight for you after he was injured. "You wouldn't want to hurt that pretty face of yours, right?" You hummed.

"Oh?" He blushed, scratching his cheek as he shut his eyes. ".. Right..!" He nodded. Sitting down on a nearby chair. "Sorry for bothering you so early."

You shook your head as you pulled out a chair, sitting across from him. "It's not a problem, but did you sleep well last night?" You asked him, taking one quick look at his face.

"Ah, no,," He chuckled, "I didn't have enough Mora, so I slept in a tent, instead!" He explained, a big smile on his face.

You pulled up a bundle of bandaids from who knows where and unwrapped one. You would actually put a bandaid on whatever looked bad and call it a day.

"Shouldn't you do something to disinfect it, or something...?" Bennett asked, struggling to look up at your hand. Damn, if he was gonna be picky, just go to Barbara. Or heal yourself, mofo!

"Huh, you're totally right. I forgot you had a doctors degree." You retorted, narrowing your eyes as you brushed his hair out of the way. Instead of placing the bandaid on it, you leaned in, giving him a peck on the forehead.

"There we go, all healed." You hummed, bringing your hand back up to apply the bandage.

"HuAh-" Bennett blinked rapidly, placing a hand over his forehead. "You just-" It took him another few seconds before he shot up out of his chair. "I- I gotta tell someone about this-!" He yelled, bursting through the door he came in from.

_

"What's up with your hair? You a trend setter now?" You asked the boy who entered the building once more. A big smile was worn across his face.

"I'm just making it easier for you to heal me, heheh!" He grinned, rubbing the back of his head. "But,, I was unlucky. I actually didn't get injured this time.."

Man, did this guy want to get injured that badly or something? Was this masochism? "I'd give you a kiss on the forehead anyway." You clarified.
