#we’re only seatmates but is there a chance we could be more?

—they’re sitting next to you, but why does it feel like they’re hiding something from you?

CHARACTERS. Aether, Albedo, Ayato, Childe, Dainsleif, Diluc, Gorou, Itto, Kaeya, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli; g! Reader

THEMES. fluff, kinda platonic and romantic at the same time, mutual pining

NOTES. I was about to do the enemies to lovers one but i had no idea how to write it for now so im going back to what i originally planned on writing this time. I hope you’ll enjoy this~

oh btw should i also start writing for heizou??

ZHONGLI is your colleague at work. You two were not close per se, but you did exchange usual common greetings to each other without a fail. If you were to rate him, he probably is the best co-worker you’ve ever had. He is helpful, he is respectful, and he is also a good conversationalist. Actually, you feel bad that he is like this towards you but you thought to yourself that he’s like this to everyone else and that it was just a part of his personality. “Mr. Zhongli, you’re literally the best!” You’d often tell him. What you didn't know, however, is that he feels pleased whenever he hears this and that he was able to help you somehow. He himself did not know much about romantic feelings, but every time he sees you smiling happily and looking well rested, he was fairly sure that it was enough to be at peace for the day.

XIAO is that classmate that you never had the chance to talk to. Actually, you even forgot he was your classmate until he got seated next to you. You attempted to have a conversation with him several times but his replies are rather short, but he does respond to you and does not completely ignore you so…maybe that’s a good thing! Little by little, you were making baby steps in making him your friend. After all, he will be your seatmate for the entire term, it would be a waste if you let this chance slip by. XIAO is by far not the most talkative person in class so it would be nice if you could at least be his friend, right? He does not seem like he was rejecting your friendship too. Maybe he does not mind at all! Unknown to you, he really did not. Actually, he liked it. Too much, I’m afraid.

VENTI is pretty much well-known all over the school so, of course, you know who he was. Actually, when you got seated beside him, damn the professor always looked your way with knitted brows, knowing that it was you who was giggling softly to VENTI’s joke that he whispered to you all of a sudden. It’s not even a surprise that you and he got reprimanded a couple of times because of this. Normally, you’re not really like this, but whenever you get seated next to him, it’s like he’s inflicting you with his contagious energy that you could not move away from. In the end, the professors probably either assigned you two apart or warned both of you that if they see you two together, they would kick you both out of the room. Before that could happen, however, you found yourself being called by him on the balcony, telling you that he has something to confess to you. What could it be? You’ll have to go to find out.

THOMA is a good seatmate. Literally. He even shares his lunch with you whenever you did not have one or if you felt like you wanted to eat more. And his cooking is absolutely delicious! How can you say no to that? Most of the time, you even ditch your friends just to eat with him instead. Over time, it became clear to you and everyone else that the two of you were quite close… but there were also rumors that you and he were already dating. You were on your way to tell him that you were sorry for the whole ordeal when you found yourself face to face with a blushing THOMA. Now that is something you could easily deduce, you’re not dense… or were you?

SCARAMOUCHE is someone who you never wanted to sit next to. Seriously. Who would want to sit next to the guy anyway? He usually bullies anyone who sits next to him, no matter who they are. And of course, in the end, your wish was unheard by the Archons. And let’s just say that it’s not the most pleasant thing at all.

However, your expectations deemed you surprised by the time your first class sitting together came. You prepared yourself the whole night and day before the class, even meditating about calming your mind and not letting your anger seep through for the day. Ultimately, the man did not even look at you a single time! Not that you were complaining though, it’s not like you wanted him to… but it did bother you until the end of the day. Maybe… this is just for today? He’s just messing with your mind today? But no, it happened for the whole week, and now you’re just used to it. But for what reason is he like this? Why in the world is he ignoring you? Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to say hello at least once…

But when you did greet him good morning, he still ignored you. But he did look you in the eye. And… have his eyes always looked this pretty?

KAZUHA is like a fresh breeze when you sit next to him. He is probably one of the best seatmates out there. Whenever you got sleepy at your Physics class, he would slickly pass you a piece of paper that would sometimes be a bunch of words for you to reply with or a game that would keep you awake in the meantime. You’re thankful to him because of this, and this is how you two had gotten close actually. Before you never expected him to even do this kind of thing as he once sat next to your friend and he never did this to them, they said. Maybe it’s just something he discovered recently, you began to reason to yourself. And why are you overthinking such things? It’s not like he’s doing this because he likes you right…

KAEYA is that officemate you probably have a hard time understanding. Sometimes, he’ll come up to you and straight up say weird things and then open up about work all of a sudden. Then later he’ll come and flirt or tease you. Such a weird man, but you don’t feel uncomfortable with him nonetheless. He’s good at his work too, you observed, and your boss always praises him, no matter how different he works. You just don’t know how but he always has this mysterious and cunning aura him. But why is he only teasing you by the way? Does he have a grudge against you or something?

ITTO is the loudest coworker you ever had. Like ever. Additionally, he has a lot of “goons” you call—those who always follow him as he’s a boss, after all, you both are. You kind of pity them sometimes that you help them with their work once in a while. Actually, you do it so often but it’s not that trivial at all. Sometimes, you wanted to report him for teaching wrong things to his staff but you only saw it as a nuisance so you just taught them whenever you could. You have work too, after all.

What confused you, however, was that one time one of his “goons” muttered something out of his breath. “Will the boss not get angry at us? We’re asking for Y/n’s help once again…”

“Shh! Let’s just not say it or he’ll get jealous again. We should really help him come up with ideas on how to confess soon.”

You smiled to yourself then. Maybe you’ll just have to approach him or that “soon” will be too far away.

GOROU is quite an average seatmate. He’s very normal that you won’t even realize that he has feelings for you. Actually, he does try his best not to be too obvious about it so his tactics are working after all! Well, that is until his friends started teasing him for always being sat next to him. They were from another class, thankfully, but when they saw you sitting right next to him, they erupted in cheers and some even whistled… You were so confused until he hastily explains that “M-My friends uh-they uh- they think that I like you or something, but it’s not like that at all! I swear! T-they’re just…. They’re just messing with me, that’s all…” he looked very hesitant and afraid that you chose to say you believe him at that time, but now that you think about it, it does not seem true at all.

DILUC, at first, you thought was going to give you a hard time. After all, he was probably the only one in class that you have not exchanged a sentence with and he gives cold glares too! But when the time came and he became your seatmate, you realized it was not as bad as you thought. He minds his own space, you mind your own space; he has his own business, and you have your own. Simple as that. But one time, you decided to chat with him for a bit. Just a conversation that you thought would be completely harmless. You just did not expect him to have reddened ears with the same hue as his hair the whole duration you two talked. Maybe he’s a bit shy? Well, it’s a pretty cute look anyway.

DAINSLEIF is that coworker who always knew what you needed. Feeling very confused about a certain topic? He’ll come to assist you if you’d like… but you’ll have to tell him what coffee you usually prefer. He always comes up with these random questions, telling you that it’s a “trade of answers” between the two of you, no matter how unimportant his questions seem to be. They’re often about you, or how you feel towards a certain coworker or so, he never asked what you think about him though. You wonder why.

CHILDE is competitive. That bit you already knew because he literally had to fight someone in order to sit next to you, well that is if there is someone else who wanted to sit next to you, but well, it will happen. When you asked him why he had done such a thing, he said that it was because “I wanted to sit next to you, of course!” While his elbow was on the table and his cheek was propped on his wrist, looking straight at you with a sly smirk as he says so. Sometimes, you wonder if this man is just teasing you or genuine with his words, but you definitely had a warm face after that.

AYATO is that coworker that you always exchanged greetings with and you just realized that he always takes a seat next to you at meetings, however long or short it may be. Not that you minded, but it was just something that your friend had told you about and it was the only way you were able to perceive that maybe he does like you—like you in a platonic way, okay? There’s no way someone like him would like you romantically after all! … Right?

ALBEDO is that seatmate in Chemistry class that will help you when you got stuck in a question or wanted to answer the professor but had a hard time doing so and he decides to help you. Actually, scratch that. He only does this to you. Whenever others try to ask him questions or for him to teach them, he’d say that “I can only take one student at a time,” or “I apologize, I’m meeting Y/n at the library later.” Literally, everyone else has gotten a whiff of his “favoritism” on you except you yourself.

AETHER is the most helpful classmate out there. Many of your classmates rely on him, actually. “Aether, do you have an extra pen?” “Aether, can I borrow your scissors?” And so on. You felt bad for him, so much that you went on your way to tell him that it was alright to say no sometimes. At that time, he was not yet that close to you, but you think it was the moment that started it, nonetheless. Ever since, you were glad that he says no to those who would be too forceful and irresponsible, all the while chatting with you and helping you every once in a while—to which you are the one who’ll have to say no, thinking to yourself that maybe he just could not get rid of his habit of helping out others.

hi jian,i hope you're doing well these days♡´･ᴗ･`♡!i've seen your post reharding about your inbox being opened,so i'll give it a try!can i request a scaramouche/wanderer and albedo hc with their s/o,g/n reader,who turned into a cat and how would they react?👀iyw to add more,you can add some domestic stuff.Its okay of this request is too much,you can ignore it!

ʚ scaramouche and albedo with an s/o who turned into a cat, + domestic headcanons ɞ

— ✦ gender neutral reader, headcanons, pure fluff! [ a/n : I think I'm in my Sabrina carpenter phase ]

ʚ SCARAMOUCHE ɞ

didn't realize it was you when he visited. tried calling you and said "what's this cat doing here?" but then you don't reply. are you not there? he looks around the living room and sits beside you and pets you.

but in his pov, he was wondering why you weren't there. so he tries asking the cat (he's a lil silly okay) and then you try to convince him that the cat is you. obviously doesn't believe you

and then, you finally convinced him.

he's mad. but not that mad. who would do this to you? or did you do it yourself?

you totally did it yourself.

"are you stupid" - scaramouche

asks if you can turn back into a human. "meow meow meow raaaaaaaaa hiss hiss" translation = "IF I COULD I'D BE A HUMAN RIGHT NOW"

"dang okay"

tries buying cat toys to tease you. and you just sit there with a :// sick and tired of his bs.

bought more like stole something to make you turn back into a human. but of course, things don't always go that well.

you basically turn into a cat for the rest of your life, but you can turn back into a human anytime. and to be honest? it's not bad.

you have sat on this man's lap multiple times, human or not, he finds it comforting

STAWWPPP im literally thinking of scaramouche with a s/o who turns into a cat when they're flustered

you definitely sit on his shoulder when he's working in your cat form

ONLY. LET'S YOU EAT IN YOUR HUMAN FORM. HE ISN'T FEEDING YOU CAT FOOD.

I'm gonna tell you. Living with him is a nightmare. No it's not those type of aesthetic couples let's be fr... You two literally have fights every hour. Playfully of course

"scara what do you use for your eyeshadow?"

"my aunts ashes"

"scara smile for me"

*smiles*

"ugly"

"fuck you"

MALE WIFE SCARA OMG

definitely knows how to cook.

also, definitely late night walks / dates.

buying lots of random shit in 7/11 is considered a date. to him at least. or mall dates!

SOMETHING LIKE THIS

+ taking baths together... not sexually omg

washing each other's backs and hair :), you accidentally got soap in his eyes and he hissed so badly HAHAHAH

"OH SHIT SORRY"

"(#(#(#(! #? @) @? @?? #(#() 1#(#("

oh btw he definitely does skincare. forces you to do it with him.

random goofy ass selfies in the mirror wearing face masks with scara >>>>

ʚ ALBEDO ɞ

he was definitely the one who turned you into a cat let's be honest

he. he doesn't really have that much of a reaction.

but he tortures you 'trying' to find a cure and says 'it's hard' BUT IT ISN'T. HE JUST LIKES TEASING YOU AND LIKES SEEING YOU AS A CAT

doesn't turn you back until he's satisfied. sorry.

you knock down some of his materials to annoy him LMAO, acts like he doesn't care but inside he's like "dyk how much I spent on that"

your paws on top of his hair gripping on to it forcing him to turn you back into a human.

eventually, he did.

but he was missing one material,, and apparently you can't get it anymore.

insert incoherent cat noises

and finally, you did turn back.

you'll still turn into a cat from time to time though.

he sends you to places when you're in your cat form because he thinks it's probably faster to get materials that way.

i don't think he's wrong though..

living with albedo... eh..

he's rarely home. most of the time he's in the lab— that's acceptable.

and half of the time he's taking care of klee.

but he all makes up for it, he can't leave you hanging just like that of course.

it's good that he gets home early, you two spend the rest of the day painting together, or either just doing random things together. also— when klee is there, is definitely more fun.

baking with them, coloring, playing hide and seek, making random potions!

“albedo do you know how to make slime” — klee

you three tried making slime. it got stuck on klees hair LMAO

eventually got it out after an hour.

swore to never make slime again.

klee sees you as a sister figure, and that makes albedo really happy :)

she keeps clinging on to you, while albedo just stares in awe at you two smiling and tilting his head slightly.

at the end of the day, you three all take a rest together on the couch looking like a cute little family. actually people have actually mistaken you guys for a famil-

I am not a genshin writer! yet...

But here are some

Things That I Think the Genshin Boys Do that Give Me Butterflies

Fluffy content ahead!

Genshin Masterlist

🍷Diluc -

Him brushing your hand to give you your drink!! And then acting like it was nothing while he is internally trying to plan how to do it again to feel your skin against his own.

Diluc saving you from an enemy as the dark knight and you hug him and thank him and he blushes and holds on for just a second too long...

Diluc offering you free drinks because he loves to know what you think about the new wines and mix drinks (he also loves the little blush that sits on your face when you're drunk)

"Try this one. I made it according to the specifications you mentioned last week."

👹 Xiao -

Xiao puffing out his chest, crossing his arm, turning his head, blush on his cheeks. When you insist to be with him, but he doesn't make you leave...

"You can stay if you wish."

You bringing him almond tofu everyday just to see his eyes light up (and they aren't lighting up because of the tofu *wink wonk*)

Him watching over you as you sleep to make sure you are safe. He also likes to gaze at your somber sleeping face, hoping one day he could lie next to you during cold Liyue nights.

🫕 Thoma -

Him insisting to help you with every chore, because it is the right thing to do. (He really just wants to be able to talk to you alone and walk next to you)

"No. No. It's fine! I am more than strong enough to carry everything back to the tea house. Besides I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself on the way back."

Eating hotpot and laughing at Thoma's misfortune, but he starts to blush and laugh with you because your laugh is so contagious and perfect.

You falling asleep on him while waiting for your meal and he doesn't want to wake you because he knows you need the rest and you look adorable. (He burned your food btw)

🐶 Gorou -

You walk into a meeting, his tail starts wagging. He tries to stop with a serious frown, but it won't as a blush creeps up his cheeks and kokomi giggles.

One of his ears following your sounds to make sure your okay and that you are always in running hearing distance.

Ok, but you brushing his tail and his ears, and he is so happy that he starts wagging his tail and it flies out of your hand and starts tickling your face causing you to laugh and him to be worried.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I won't do it again. I promise."

🌬 Venti -

Him writing songs about you and all your amazing features in such stunning detail that it makes others swoon at the thought of you.

Him picking you up on the wind so you can join him in sitting in the windrise tree.

"I can't let my windflower stay on the ground while I am having fun in the air. Did you enjoy the ride, though?"

Him practicing his songs and stories in front of you to perfect them and whenever you give him a compliment he stops before kissing you and continuing.

🖌 Albedo -

Him telling you to sit down to help him with an experiment and it ends up as him painting you for hours as you both talk about nothing and everything.

Gently braiding his hair away from his face as he finishes experiments. Only to have him notice hours later when he goes to push a strand away and nothing is there. (He was in the zone)

"Where did my hair go...? When did this happen? Did you have something to do with this?"

Taking lunch up the mountain so you two can have a picnic at the top and cuddle to stay warm.

I don't really like the emojis I picked, so if you have an recommendations to change them to, let me know!

#meg's chat #genshin impact #genshin x reader #genshin imagines #headcannon #venti #thoma #gorou #albedo #diluc #venti x reader #xiao x reader #xiao #gorou x reader #albedo x reader #diluc x reader #fluff #genshin fluff

Now You Are

kaeya, albedo, xiao, yae miko, thoma x gn!reader

includes : sagau (post villain!au), god!reader

cw : religious themes, cult themes, mostly just fluff so you should all be good to go

sypnosis : "now you are". you tell your beloved acolytes and now, favorite of them all as they ask you if you still liked the archons. sequel/continuation/parallel (it can be viewed as whichever) to "used to be"

wc : 1.7k

notes : i just wanted to give some charas some love :( i hope i did justice to kaeya's chara btw! this would officially be my first piece for him, hehe.

KAEYA

“Your Grace.”

“Hm?” Kaeya cannot bring himself to ask the question. He remembers well how before you arrived in Teyvat how frequently you used the archons as your vessels. How many countless times has he heard word that once again you have done something miraculous while guiding them?

Warmth that graced he only hoped to be graced with.

“It’s alright Kaeya, you can tell me.” With a quiet sigh and a smile to try and convince himself that he should tell you, he asks it.

“Do you still favor the archons?” A heavy air settles between the both of you and for a moment, Kaeya decides that he shouldn’t have asked in the first place. Not especially when the archons themselves were the ones to lead the hunt for you, deeming you an imposter of their god. He must have brought up bad memories. He really should keep his mouth shut as everyone tells him to.

“No. Admittedly I’m pretty sure you know I favored them, but I can’t say the same now.” Kaeya almost breathes out a sigh of relief. Good to know that the archons won’t be getting some special treatment even after all that.

“I see. I’m sorry for bringing it up, Your Grace.”

“No, it’s fine, I don’t mind anymore. I favor you now, Kaeya.” Is that…a flush? On Captain Kaeya’s cheeks? You voice out your amusement at the Captain Kaeya of all people getting flustered by being told that they’re someone’s favorite.

Well you weren’t just anyone, you’re their creator! So go ahead, if it keeps you happy, Kaeya will always be glad to listen to you tell him that he’s your favorite!

ALBEDO

Albedo’s merely painting out in the open fields of Mondstadt when you decide to blurt out that he’s your favorite.

“I’m sorry, Your Grace?” Albedo turns to you sitting in the grass on a picnic blanket with assorted teas and pastries strewn on it, courtesy of Noelle.

“I said what I said Albedo!” Albedo is at a loss of words as you grin up at him while eating a chocolate truffle. For a while, you two maintain a stare and Albedo feels himself getting flustered the longer you continue to give him such a pure and genuine smile.

It seems you weren’t joking by the looks of it. So Allbedo hesitantly breaks from your gaze and returns to his painting of the meadow.

“I thought you would have favored the Archons, Your Grace.”

“Hm..I mean I used to, but now you’re the one I favor!” You said it with such glee and open-ness, Albedo’s wondering how you’re so courageous to tell him such a thing.

Well you are his deity. He should expect extraordinary things from you.

The courage to tell one of your acolytes that you favored them certainly was extraordinary, in his opinion.

He chuckles and accepts the compliment, finally much more at ease to continue painting. You favored him. That’s all there is to it. Perhaps he can paint you after this, because the feeling’s mutual, and he favors you too.

He’d always favor you above everyone else, and he’d make sure that he treated you well. Anything if it made you happy and helped you heal from the dreadful mistake everyone had made by marking you an imposter when you first arrived in Teyvat.

XIAO

Xiao comes back from his nightly patrols and finds you still awake, there in the lobby of Wangshu Inn, playing chess with Childe who looks like he’s losing. Almost immediately as his footfalls are heard through the room, you jump up from your seat to greet him.

Why were you still up late? He’d at least thought Zhongli would’ve advised you to take a rest but here you are right infront of him, and even playing chess with Childe.

“Your Grace, you should go to sleep.” He chides softly, not daring to look you in the eye and looking instead at the chess board set on the table.

“I was waiting for you to come back. Wanted to sleep with you tonight.” He still doesn’t look up to meet your gaze because he knows that there’s surely a large grin on that pretty face of yours that’ll only serve to make him even more flustered.

No one could really tell what was going to happen when it came to you. You’re in the same dimension as they are, but you clearly lived a different life before you arrived in Teyvat.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to! We can always just hang out with each other sometime else!” XIao immediately shakes his head no. If you wanted to sleep with him, then he’ll sleep with you.

“Aw, you all are leaving me out.” Childe pouts as he plays with his rook, knocking a pawn over.

“Sorry Childe, we can play tomorrow and I promise we’ll do two games, in compensation.” Childe seems to take it as you lead Xiao to your room.

Was it difficult? Having to separate your time and make it fair so that everybody doesn’t feel left out? You didn’t seem to be having trouble. Not especially since you’re literally here just lying down with him.

As you two lie in bed, Xiao feels like he’s not getting a wink of sleep anytime soon and decides to ask, “Why did you want to sleep with me?”. It’s a simple answer, really, but a meaningful one.

“Because I favor you a lot.”

Xiao wants to ask more, but you’re already there, sleeping. Maybe he’ll figure it out by himself some other time. Patrolling at night is tiring.

YAE MIKO

“Yaeee~!”

“Your Grace!” Yae Miko eagerly returns your embrace as you wrap your arms around her figure. It’s all smiles and grins as she herds you into the Narukami Shrine and you both settle down to chat over tea.

It wasn’t uncommon for you to visit Yae Miko. Not especially since after you were recognized as their god properly. Yae has always welcomed you with open arms whenever you came around and is always good company in your opinion.

You two could rattle on about trivial things, interesting things Yae had found while you were away, amusing stories you had yet to tell her about your world, the conversation never really runs dry when Yae could always find something to talk about.

Yae Miko always enjoyed listening to your stories. Despite being a god, you certainly didn’t have the attitude one had. Poised, elegant, refined, and exclusive. You were simply like any other human in Teyvat, and it always was a delightful change of pace from what Yae was always used to.

You stare out into the distance into the vast sea while Yae looks at you in curiosity.

“Is something on your mind, Your Grace?”

“I was just thinking how thankful I am to you, and how much I adore you, ehe.” Yae watches you scratch the back of your neck shyly and laughs.

“What an honor to be adored by the Creator themselves.” She smiles. It’s always so hard to tell if you were a god, if it weren’t for the warm feeling you always emanated. Right now, you looked like a school girl confessing to her long time crush and it was simply adorable.

This was one memory Yae will surely treasure for an eternity. Never change, never change.

THOMA

Thoma’s on his usual cleaning duty at the Kamisato household, and he’s alone as usual. Ayaka is out doing her work, Ayato’s also out doing his work, and he’s here doing his.

Until he realizes he isn’t.

Another broom and set of feet comes into view and he looks up to find you, sweeping the floor too. He flusters and stumbles with the broom in his hand for a bit.

“Your Grace! I didn’t expect you to be here!” You shoot him a smile and laugh softly, reaching out to hold his arm and steady him.

“Ayato and Ayaka invited me for some tea with them, I decided to come early because I wanted to see you!” Thoma regains his composure and stands up straight, continuing his sweeping.

“Thank you for stopping by to see me, Your Grace. You should take a seat, I’ll prepare some tea for you while you wait!” You stop him with a wave of your hand, following his motions and sweeping with him.

“It’s alright, I’ll help you sweep around here instead!” Thoma really wants to protest. You really shouldn’t be stooping so low just to do a housekeeper’s work. You could just sit and take a rest! Surely you’re tired from walking around, right?

“No Thoma, I’m not tired from traveling.” Thoma flushes. Did he speak out loud? Or was he just that predictable?

At the flushed look on the housekeeper’s face as he stands still, you let out another laugh.

“I just figured you’d tell me that, don’t worry.” Thoma releases a breath he didn’t know he’d been holding.

Thoma watches as you sweep the other side of the room he hasn’t gotten to yet and wonders why you’d wanna help do the housework. Perhaps you’re bored? Probably because you’re bored.

He doesn’t know how or why, but seeing you doing housework doesn’t seem the slightest bit out of place. You looked a natural at these types of things, and you certainly didn’t look like you belonged somewhere higher in society.

You simply just looked you, if that could describe the sight properly.

“Your Grace, why are you helping me out?”

“Hm?” You look back at him as if he’d just asked you something confusing. He’s about to repeat his question when you turn away and then voice out your answer.

“It’s because I favor you Thoma. And, you seemed lonely, I thought you’d like some company.” For the nth time, Thoma lost his composed facade and began to blush again.

He must be really lucky. Especially lucky that he has a creator who resonates well with being friendly and hardworking. He figures that it’s only more of a reason to adore you and help you finish what should be his chores.

He can’t tire you out over simple house chores, now could he?

⭒ kaeya, xiao, diluc, and albedo: argument repercussions hcs ⭒

request for anon: hello!!! was wondering if i could request kaeya, xiao, and any genshin characters who had a huge argument with y/n just before their mission/quest and they say some really hurtful words to y/n—like 'burden' or 'pathetic' (btw the genshin bois didn't come with you to the mission)

then y/n gets attacked and gravely injured during the mission; the guards who accompanied them insist they call [genshin character] for help but y/n says no—still hurt from the argument because they don't wanna be a burden, or be pathetic. y/n tells them to head back home and that they can handle it on their own

the guards left y/n because they were persistent, but reader never came back

[genshin character] is worried that the guards came home without them so after many more hours and they still hadn't come home, they go back to the mission site only to find y/n on the ground, lying in their pool of blood; unconscious and barely has any pulse

[genshin character] asks why they left them be and the guards tell him that the last words they told them was not wanting to be a burden

this breaks [genshin character]'s heart because y/n is on death's door just because of them, and now they feel awfully guilty— regretting ever telling them those hurtful words which could lead to their death, and the thought of y/n thinking they're pathetic and a burden to everyone before dying makes them feel worse—y/n's pained and hurtful expression during their argument tormenting him

oh god it's too much–i'm sorryyy :< i hope it's not too much pressure :'( i've been craving for some hardcore angst and prompts like these are my faves:// you don't have to do it tho! but if you do, thank you so so sooo muchh <33 again, don't feel pressured to do it and feel free to ignore itt

NOOO DO NOT APOLOGIZE THIS WAS SO GOOD I GOT THIS AND IMMEDIATELY SHOWED ONE OF MY PARTNERS AND OUR FRIEND BECAUSE ITS SO TASTY AND WE ALL THRIVE ON ANGST

i did slightly alter a few things for some parts, but each hc list follows the same main path! i hope this lives up to what you wanted, i had an absolutely blast writing it :)

⭒

NOTE: please no more alternate ending requests! i have both a hurt/comfort follow-up and angst follow-up already, and i’m really satisfied with where this sort of mini series is at. thank you!

⭒

follow-ups:

⋆ kaeya, xiao, albedo, and diluc: repentance (hurt/comfort ending)

⋆ kazuha: argument repercussions + repentance (original prompt + hurt/comfort ending)

⋆ kaeya, xiao, albedo, diluc, and kazuha: remorse (angst ending)

⭒

pairing: kaeya, xiao, diluc, and albedo x reader (separately)

characters: kaeya alberich, xiao, diluc ragnvindr, albedo

genre: angst

word count: 1963

warnings: very brief mentions of injury/blood

⭒

⋆ though kaeya rarely means any insults he throws at you, there are times when he’s not thinking and lets something slip—something that stings

⋆ neither of you can really recall what sets off your argument shortly before you leave, but it quickly escalates, and kaeya snaps at you

⋆ “are you so useless that you can’t do anything for yourself?”

⋆ he immediately tries to take it back, but the damage has been done, and you storm off to go prepare yourself to leave. alone.

⋆ your mission starts off fine, but soon goes south

⋆ your first thought when you’re injured is to call for kaeya; but it’s a thought you quickly push down when you remind yourself of what he said before you left

⋆ archons forbid you prove him right. fetching him would only show you really can’t do anything by yourself

⋆ instead, why not prove him wrong? you tell your companions—a handful of low-ranking knights of favonius—to head back, you’re fine on your own.

⋆ they listen, but you haven’t caught up to them by the time they reach headquarters

⋆ of course that’s when kaeya walks in. seeing the group, only missing you, he’s immediately filled with dread.

⋆ he rushes over, and for once he doesn’t bother to fake a smile as he demands to know where you are; he doesn’t even let them finish before he’s rushing out the door to find you. sure, you left upset, but he’s not letting you die because he was an asshole

⋆ although he moves as fast as he can, kaeya doesn’t arrive quite in time. he finds you unconscious, collapsed on the ground covered in so much blood that he can’t tell just how injured you are.

⋆ he drops down beside you, and with trembling hands gingerly pulls you close, checking your pulse. you’re alive, but barely.

⋆ the cavalry captain whirls around when he hears your original team finally arrive. his single eye is cold, his lips twisted into a snarl as he harshly asks why they left you

⋆ they stammer out that you’d claimed you could handle it on your own, and that’s when kaeya feels his heart stop, remembering exactly what he said to you before you left

⋆ his face falls as he holds you closer, carefully rising to his feet

⋆ his expression expertly neutral, he begins the trek back to mondstadt

⋆ he doesn’t show it, but guilt eats away at him from the inside out; he fully blames himself, tearing himself apart as he picks up his pace

⋆ kaeya can’t bring himself to look down at you, your face frighteningly peaceful. he can only pray he can get you to a healer fast enough.

⭒

⋆ arguments with xiao are not rare, and neither are his scathing remarks

⋆ they’re less frequently directed at you, but you’re no stranger to them; xiao is still the same headstrong adeptus he’s always been, after all

⋆ though your arguments are typically nothing more than little spats, there are times it gets taken much too far, and someone says something much too harsh

⋆ a couple days before you’re to leave for a mission, one such argument happens, escalating so fast, you don’t have a chance to shut it down

⋆ “gods, you’re so pathetic.”

⋆ you stare at xiao, shocked, and he just glares back. you open your mouth to say something, but he teleports away before you’ve a chance to get anything out

⋆ his words hurt, but you figure he’ll return and mumble out an apology—one that doesn’t sound genuine, but really is—any minute

⋆ the minutes tick by, and then hours, and then days… until you need to leave

⋆ you think about trying to find him before you go, but shake off the thought as his words ring again in your head; you’ll just have to find him when your mission is completed

⋆ your group—you and a few millileth soldiers—sets off, and you place xiao at the back of your mind.

⋆ your mission goes downhill fast. one of the soldiers frantically suggests you call for your “adeptus companion,” but you wave him off, stating you don’t need his help, you’ll handle this alone

⋆ you tell the soldiers they can leave if they’re worried, and they do, leaving you by yourself

⋆ the group—minus you—seeks shelter at the nearby wangshu inn; xiao sees them approaching, his eyes narrowing when he doesn’t spot you

⋆ he confirms this was the group you were supposed to be with, listening in as they tell the innkeeper how you were the only one left out at the mission site

⋆ xiao’s eyes widen, and in a panic, he teleports right to you

⋆ he goes rigid when he finds you in a pool of your own blood; at the weak call of his name, he rushes over

⋆ he grabs you a little more harshly than necessary—another thing you’re used to, and it’s only worse when he’s panicking—but forcibly relaxes his grip when you wince

⋆ you’re barely conscious, struggling to keep your eyes open. his gaze roves over your injured form in an effort to assess the severity of your wounds as he worries his bottom lip between his teeth

⋆ he asks why you didn’t call for him, his voice rough. you simply say you didn’t want him to think you’re pathetic.

⋆ he feels as though he’s been stabbed, and he blurts out an apology, his chest heaving as you further slip into unconsciousness

⋆ xiao pulls you closer, teleporting the both of you back to the inn; he gently lays you down on the bed in his room, and then he’s gone.

⋆ he’s going to fix this, going to get you help. he only hopes he’s not too late.

⭒

⋆ your mission is the topic of your argument, actually, and of course it takes place right as you’re trying to leave

⋆ diluc doesn’t like that you’re partnering with the knights of favonius, no matter how temporary it may be. he fully believes them to be incompetent, so incapable of doing their jobs that they need outside help, and he doesn’t trust that they’ll keep you safe

⋆ you argue back that you can take care of yourself just fine, and that’s when diluc rolls his eyes and scoffs

⋆ “then go. you clearly don’t need to be a burden here.”

⋆ you’re taken aback by his words, but he keeps the same neutral expression he delivered the line with. you don’t have time to continue fighting, you have more important things to attend to, so you leave

⋆ you meet up with your group, saying you’re fine when they ask if you’re upset. you just want to get out there and get this done with

⋆ unfortunately, it doesn’t go as you’d planned. your companions suggest you retreat; when you refuse, they instead suggest someone run to get master diluc. they’re shocked when you immediately shut the idea down, huffing that they can run away if they want, you’ll take care of the mission yourself

⋆ you won’t be, you can’t be a burden, so you’ll see this through alone if you have to

⋆ the group does retreat, leaving you—as weary as you are—to continue alone

⋆ several of the knights follow through with their plan, basically bursting into diluc’s manor, hurriedly informing the wine tycoon of the current situation

⋆ diluc practically growls, berating the knights for just leaving you when you were already exhausted and injured. he tells them this is exactly why he hadn’t wanted you to team up with them, and then he realizes exactly why you’d been so adamant to fight alone: because of what he’d said earlier that day.

⋆ with his revelation, he grows ever faster

⋆ the situation he arrives at is all too familiar; you’re not moving, he can’t tell if you’re breathing, and gods there’s so much red everywhere

⋆ he shouts your name, dropping to his knees and shakily scooping you into his arms

⋆ his throat feels tight, and his eyes burn as you weakly splutter and cough in his hold. you’re alive, but barely, and he doesn’t know how long he can keep you like this

⋆ turning to the knights that followed him, he commands them to return to the city for a healer; disobedience is not an option, and the knights scamper away at diluc’s harsh glare

⋆ he follows behind them, moving as fast as he can without disturbing you too much. the last thing he wants is to hurt you more.

⋆ he blames the knights, of course—they’d proven him right, after all—but he blames himself more. if he hadn’t been so mean, so stupid, you wouldn’t be like this

⋆ keeping his gaze up, diluc forces himself to move faster. he can’t do this again, he can’t lose you, too.

⭒

⋆ he never means to be mean, but sometimes albedo gets so caught up and focused in his work that he stops thinking about his responses

⋆ sometimes he struggles to split his attention between you and his experiments. both are important to him, of course, but he can’t stand being interrupted while he’s working, even if you’re the one interrupting him

⋆ he grows irritated, his tone blunt and snappy, and he unintentionally sets off an argument

⋆ you’d just wanted to bid him goodbye before you leave for a mission you’d taken up with mondstadt’s adventurer’s guild, but he sighs in frustration when you enter his workspace, setting off a verbal quarrel

⋆ “you do understand you’re being a distraction, yes?”

⋆ your jaw drops, and you snap out a goodbye before pivoting on your heel, leaving him to his precious work

⋆ you intend to focus on your mission, devoting your full attention to your group. you can take your anger out on any opponents

⋆ but they’re stronger than you were prepared for, and you’re not with particularly talented fighters. they decide to retreat, but you can’t all simply turn your backs to your attackers

⋆ so you tell them to go, and you’ll handle things while they get help. your group agrees, one of them shouting that they’ll get albedo for you. they’re gone before you can truly protest, but you have bigger problems to deal with first

⋆ albedo scowls as his lab door bursts open, whirling around to tell you he needs you to leave him alone. he stops, his lips parted, when he sees it’s definitely not you interrupting him again

⋆ he’s on his feet as soon as he takes in the adventurer’s panicked and disheveled state, calmly asking what happened

⋆ it’s hard to understand the adventurer’s frantic rambling, but he understands you didn’t return with the group; you’re still out there, fighting alone, and you’d seemingly disagreed with the decision to get his help

⋆ swallowing back his own panic, albedo quietly asks where you were last seen

⋆ he’s at the mission site as soon as he possibly can be, immediately jumping into action when he spots your unconscious, limp body littered in cuts and bruises, surrounded by what he can only assume is your own blood

⋆ his head pounding, he mentally reprimands himself for leaving without any first aid tools. he does what he can to slow your bleeding before he carefully lifts you from the ground.

⋆ albedo searches his memory for why you possibly wouldn’t want his help, and remembers your brief argument this morning. his heart plummets, and he sets his jaw in determination as he begins the trek back to mondstadt, cradling you in his arms

⋆ it’s terribly quiet as he hurries back; the only thing he can hear—aside from his own labored breathing—is your quiet, shallow breaths

⋆ at one point, he stops to check your pulse. he’s overcome with guilt when he feels how light it is.

⋆ albedo promises he’ll save you; he’ll do it himself if needed. for being perhaps the smartest person in all of teyvat, he thinks he’s been terribly, terribly stupid.

・ your eyes slowly closed, giving in to the drowsiness that you were gifted due to staying up for the test in the last afternoon. your seatmate beside you, he notices about 15 minutes later, instead of informing your professor, he put his jacket on you, and started jotting notes down. and once the expected pop quiz appeared, he'd lightly shake you, whispering that there's an activity, and telling about the topic while the professor finishes the small review for the quiz. "i'll let you copy my notes later, ok? this topic is easy, don't worry, remember to not overthink." he says, giving you a piece of paper. "i wasn't even really supposed to take notes honestly, but i know you love to take notes, so i wrote stuff down about the topic in my notebook, just in case you wanted."

・ you sat beside him at the cafeteria, fiddling with your thumbs because you didn't have enough money to buy lunch, nor did you get time to pack your lunch and bring it to school, so your stomach growled. sitting beside someone with luxurious food prepared by his hands, and the delicious aroma that circled around you didn't help, all you could do was look at his food. delicately prepared, sighing in defeat and banging your head on the table. "you want something?" he asked when you faced him and his lunch. "i'm sorry, i can't help but look at your lunch, i haven't packed anything, and i haven't got any money, my stomach is roaring at this point too." leaning your head on his shoulder, "how about we share? i don't mind, just as long as you have energy for the next class. so you don't fall asleep again." cutting back to present time, still in the cafeteria, leaning your head on his shoulder as he feeds himself and you, he never fully finishes his lunch anyway.

dan heng, caelus, blade, yanqing, welt yang, zhongli, diluc, tighnari, cyno, kaveh, gepard

・if you ask for something that's really deep inside his bag, no matter what time it'd be, class time or break time, he'll find it, no matter how many times you ask, he'll get it.

Characters: Zhongli, Diluc, Kaeya, Albedo, Tartaglia, Kazuha, Xiao, Thoma and fem!reader

Warnings: not proofread, pining, it’s pretty long and fluffy

Notes: I decided to combine this with the volleyball AU (but it pretty much still reads a lot like a highschool AU) I just wanted to get the whole volleyball team over haha. @diaflower I’m sorry this took so long D: All I’ve been doing is apologizing for taking such a long time HAHA Im so sorry!

More Genshin Volleyball and Modern AU here

Check out @simplypotz beautiful rendition of the Genshin Volleyball Team (I’m still not over it btw)

#1 Zhongli (Captain/Wing Spiker/Ace)

Zhongli is that quiet class president who does things by the book.

The type where his report card comments would read “Able to strike a good balance between academics and school activities”

Overall a good role model, though he comes off as standoffish most of the time because of his detached personality. In reality he’s just really concentrated on the things he needs to do.

You’re in the same class as him. You just didn’t interact much, mostly because you also thought he was pretty standoffish. He didn’t speak, only when spoken to.

There was one day you caught him just standing at the canteen, you separated from your friends because you wanted to buy a drink.

He stood there, looked at the menu, patted his pockets and realized he didn’t have any Mora money. He must have forgotten his wallet at home.

It was amusing to you, seeing him just stand there because he was usually always put together and knew what he needed to do.

You came up to him and said “...I can lend you some money?” He was surprised to say the least. He knew your name though and it was your turn to be surprised. You didn’t think he paid attention to his classmates.

A week after, you found him in almost exactly the same predicament. Except this time he didn’t have ENOUGH money to buy his meal. You butt in once again and gave him the remaining amount he was missing.

He would always pay you afterwards but it had gotten you kind of concerned. “Zhongli are you...I mean, if you have trouble with money I can help you with lunch from time to time,” You deadass thought this guy was POOR.

That was the first time you saw him laugh. He reassured you that he was fine, just that he doesn’t really have a good concept of how much things would cost and end up not bringing enough to school.

For one reason or another you end up spending lunch with him quite often, probably three times a week. It just happened, you always tell yourself its because you’re worried the guy wouldn’t eat but your friends start to tease you about it.

“Oh see, here he comes,” one of your friends start to giggle but grab your other friend to run away just as Zhongli walks up to you, and quizzically looks at your two friends running away. You only sigh and shrug and join Zhongli for lunch.

This was in your first year.

By the last year of high school everyone thought the two of you were dating but you were just really close to each other. Still, there was a little bit of difference in the way he treated you versus back then.

He never forgot his wallet anymore, in fact he started to be the one to buy you lunches and he knew exactly which lunch sets you liked and which drinks you preferred.

You spent a lot of time together, mostly doing homework and research in the library. It’s also standard for you to go to his volleyball games if he had any. For him, he always secretly looked around to see if you were there.

Eventually one of his team members (He swears it’s Tartaglia or Kaeya) asks if you’re single and Zhongli ends up snapping at them. (The two were just playing around, they know that their captain likes you, he just needed a little more push)

It was probably there that he realized that he’s unwilling to give you away to someone else.

The next day he’s mustered up the courage to tell you that he wants to start dating you properly.

And that eventually leads to him introducing you to the team.

#2 Diluc (Vice Captain/Wing Spiker/Defense Specialist)

As a first year Diluc kept to himself. Kind of like you. You had a select few friends here and there, but you were mostly known as the “nerd” of the class. Real diligent and hardworking.

Diluc is a handsome lil thing, so a lot of people considered him eye candy. He was really hard to talk to though. His gazes were sharp and he always seemed to have a frown on his face.

Despite you being the most boring girl in class (or so you thought) Diluc actually had a kind of secret admiration for you. He’s seen your notes one time, you left your notebook open on your table. It was neat and tidy and so easy to read.

Anyhow, when the exam came round there was a particular thing that Diluc could not understand. Some type of math formula. Now, he was usually good in his studies and he hated asking people for help, but while everyone else went home as soon as the bell rang, he sometimes had the habit of staying for a while and looking over his homework. And the only other person left in the room would be you and him.

So, he decided there was no harm in asking you when it was just the two of you in the classroom. “Hey...Y/N...?” You’re so shocked that he comes up to you with his worksheet and a sort of unsure look on his face. “Do you think you could explain this one to me...?”

Sure your other classmates asked you ALL kinds of questions about studying and things they didn’t understand but Diluc asking you was another level.

“Oh, um... sure. Here...” You ask him to sit on the chair in front of you and end up doing homework together. The sky is already orange when the two of you finish and he decides he should walk you home, to which you resist at. “It’s totally fine, my house is just nearby, and its not really dark at all!”

You seemed insistent, so he lets it go and the two of you go your separate ways.

The next few days Diluc actively seeks you out if there’s something he doesn’t quite understand (mind you it’s not that often, possibly once a week) but he does it during recess now and your friends take note that you are possibly one of the only girls he talks to in class.

Nothing really happens. It’s just a casual “I’ll look for you if I have any questions” type of relationship.

It was in your second year that you interacted with him again. There was a Science project due soon and you went to your local library. The one in school wasn’t very sufficient so you had to look for your own reference materials.

You possibly lost track of time and when you picked your head up to look outside, the sky was bordering on an orange-to-dark blue hue, indicating that it was later than you thought.

As you were about to pack up you hear someone walk over to you, and you look up to see that it was Diluc. That was the first time you saw him in casual wear.

You find out that you both were there to do a bit of research and that his house is just a walk away, just as yours was. He glances outside and at the sky “...I’ll walk you,” before you could protest he adds “My house is on the way anyway,”

You couldn’t find a reason to refuse and the two of you end up walking while talking to each other a little. It’s kinda awkward, in a way that silence between two people who just met were awkward but in a sense there was a bit of nervousness there too, and you had no idea why.

Gradually it seems as if the two of you find yourself in situations that bring you two together: being lab partners, getting paired up for reports. But these were by chance, the teacher arranged you two together.

So when there was an assignment that required pairwork and when the teacher said “You can choose your partner,” you only had to look up and see that Diluc was turned around to look straight at you. You’re not sure what compels you to nod your head but you do start to wonder if he’s only using you for your brains.

It’s a bit of a slow build up but while working on the assignment together you just randomly blurt it out “You must have chosen me cause I’m good at reports right?” You thought nothing of it, just said it with a laugh.

Imagine your surprise when he confidently says “No, I chose you because I like you,” and he was staring straight at you, with a blank, unreadable look on his face.

You’re probably blushing and you’re not sure what to say but you want to confirm “L-Like me? As in... Like, like?”

He’s confused. What’s the difference between “like” and “like like” he asks.

By this point you’re flustered. “Like as in friendship like or more than friends?”

It dawns on Diluc then and his face breaks into realization, he’s also starting to turn pink around the cheeks but he doesn’t answer immediately. “...I guess, a little more than a friend? Maybe?”

And that’s how your awkward little romance started. Filled with subtle glances and quick smiles. The simple walks home and the huge amounts of courage that it takes just to hold your hand. He was a naturally secretive person, so your classmates didn’t suspect a thing, but you liked it that way as well. It was like the two of you in your own little world.

#3 Kaeya (Middle Blocker)

Nothing about this guy is subtle at all.

You’re not even from the same class so sometimes you do wonder how it ended up this way.

It was during one of the volleyball games. You and your friends just decided to watch it and see what the fuss was about. You really didn’t think anything was going to happen. You were gunna watch it and leave. That’s all. Probably would leave halfway if you were too bored.

But you get smacked on the face by a volleyball, your nose is bleeding.

It’d been none other than Kaeya who was messing around with his serve and effed it up so badly that it went flying into the second floor and right at your face.

It was also him (at the command of Zhongli) who went up to the second floor, checked on you and offered to take you to the clinic (actually Zhongli forced him to)

You said it was fine but Zhongli was giving him the death glare so Kaeya insisted. By this point you had half your face covered up cause you were trying to stop the bloodflow from your nose.

The nurse took care of you and Kaeya waited. When you came out your nosebleed was pretty much gone but Kaeya was struck. He thought you were cute and he couldn’t see it earlier cause you were practically covering your face.

“Sorry about that,” he says again and you wave him off. “It’s fine... It happens...”

There’s a moment of silence while he walks you back and it’s really weird cause the next thing he says is “...So uh, what’s your name, and what class are you in? Don’t think I’ve seen you around,”

Possibly because you’re a recluse and just avoid socializing out of your own class. You tell him your name and which class you’re in and he nods. You thought that’d be the end of it.

In the next couple of days one of the guys in class keeps handing you notes “Kaeya says to give it to you,” this guy says. You’re guessing he’s friends with Kaeya or at least acquaintances. The first note he ever gives you is: “Hey! Hope you’re feeling better! :)” and there’s a tiny chocolate coin that comes with it.

It’s so childish that you laugh but you can’t help and feel amused by it. You don’t reply to any of his notes (mostly because you don’t know how to, do you just give it to him directly? You were a little too shy for that)

But one day, his note along with another chocolate coin reads: “Kinda wanna talk to you a bit more, here’s my number :) Tell me what you think about the chocolate coins...They’re not actually the best tasting ones huh? :P”

And that’s where the text messages start. Your first message to him was “Chocolate coin 6/10. It’s a little too sweet and when it arrives to me it’s already kinda soft and mushy”

The banter between you two is unreal. It’s like he says something and you say something back and the two of you just vibe real hard over it.

“Come to my game this Friday? Promise I won’t hit you on the face again :)” and you agree.

He’s only the tiniest bit shy with his waves when he spots you on the stands and he only really meets you after the game when he’s all dressed up and freshened up, so you don’t have a proper chance to meet his team.

You start to realize that you hadn’t missed any of his games since then and he LOVED your support, but nothing really happened. Just a lot of banter and flirting.

Up until one day, just before classes started, a familiar note was given to you and you hadn’t received one in a while. It read “The chocolate coins wouldn’t cut it, left a box under your desk.” Your hands start to search under your desk where you usually kept some of your books and you touch a rectangular box.

It’s a box of proper chocolates, the kinds that people would give out on Valentines. You could tell it was slightly expensive, what with the wrapping and everything but the note stuck on the underside of the lid (you nearly missed it,) had you blinking in surprise. “Be my girl?” it said and someone at your classroom door cleared their throat (not a lot of students were in yet, they were just starting to file in for the day) You saw Kaeya there with a lopsided grin and an expression on his face that was a cross of uncertainty and fake confidence.

You only grinned at him and wrote a note back “Only if you don’t smack my face with the ball again,” and shove it into his hands, turning around and retreating back to your seat before he could respond.

His laughter at the door was enough to tell you how relieved he was.

#4 Albedo (Setter)

This guy is straightforward as all hell, and he doesn’t get flustered about it at all. He just doesn’t see anything wrong if he’s just spitting facts.

Prior to dating the two of you were just seat buddies. He always seemed to sit in front of you.

You would never catch Albedo making a mistake, not because he was a perfectionist, but mostly because he was just a very careful and calculating person.

Because he sat right in front of you, the two of you were in the perfect position to interact whenever the teacher would say “Turn around and discuss with a partner,”

The first time that happened was in first year, he looked at you for a bit, you looked at him for a bit, before getting down to business seriously. Actually discussing what the two of you thought about the reading.

Your class numbers are also in sequence with each other. You were always number 4 and he was always number 3. So you inevitably stuck together in PE when the teacher couldn’t be bothered and would say “Relay race today! Class number 1 to 4 in one group, 5 to 8 in one group. The rest of you count by yourselves!”

In one of the PE games, the class was learning about volleyball. Once again you got grouped up with him.

You didn’t really think a lot about these instances, it was just all coincidences to you and you hadn’t really noticed that you get paired up with him a lot.

But in that group volleyball game, that was probably the first time you REALLY SAW Albedo. He was an amazing setter and though you didn’t know a lot about volleyball, you saw the way your group members were able to spike the balls he set for them.

“Albedo,” you called out to him after that class. “Are you in the volleyball team? You should really try out,” In his first year, he wasn’t and he hadn’t any interest in volleyball at all. He was more of a science club person. So he brushed off your comment.

You asked him again, probably a month later, poking at his back before class started. “Albedo, did you try out?” He raised an eyebrow at you and told you straight that he wasn’t interested in volleyball. You remember scrunching up your eyebrows at that moment, thinking what wasted talent he was.

“You should really!” And then every single day, you would just ask him if he had tried out yet. He got tired of it. “What do I have to gain by joining a sports team? I don’t even enjoy sports...”

“You won’t know until you try!” and then, just to shut you up. One day, he finally did.

He got accepted.

At first he thought it was just a fluke, until the captain told him that he had remarkable sense for being a setter, and knew where to direct the ball at the right moment.

“You should’ve tried out earlier, we really could use someone like you in our team,” is what Zhongli said when Albedo was finally handed his jersey.

The next day, as he comes into the classroom, he throws the jersey on your table, and sits at the chair in front of you.

You blink at the jersey, before picking it up and spreading it out in front of you. “Genshin High Volleyball Team” “#4″

It dawned on you that he finally tried out and got accepted. “You’re in the team!” You said but glanced at the number again. “Did you get to choose your own number?”

He was facing away from you, unpacking his school bag for the day and answered. “Yes, I chose the number,”

You quizzically looked at the number 4 and tilted your head. “Why the number 4? You know it’s bad luck?” (number 4 is bad luck in some cultures: particularly Chinese, maybe Japanese too?)

He doesn’t answer for a moment, but when he does all he says is “Class number,”

You chide him again. “But your class number is 3, Albedo,”

He finally turns, looks you straight in the eye and takes the jersey back from you. “Yes, but yours is 4,” and turns back around to continue prepping for the class.

You’re stunned and speechless. There’s some type of warmth and shock spreading through your being.

“You got me into this, so it’s only fair if you watch my first game,”

So you do and you have no idea how but now you’re meeting him after his practice sessions, you’re watching him in his games and you send him good luck messages before each one.

To him, you’re always going to be his very first fan.

It almost feels natural and you’re not too shocked when he asks you one day as you meet him after practice, “So, we’re dating now, right?”

#5 Tartaglia (Middle Blocker/Wing Spiker)

The love at first sight kind of guy. But you don’t take him seriously because he practically flirts with every woman alive.

“Awe come on Y/N, just let me take you out on a date,” He isn’t subtle at all, but because he’s so easy going about it, you really can’t take him seriously. You refuse every time.

“He doesn’t really flirt with other girls... It’s more like... He’s just overly friendly with them,” your friend says, discussing him one day. You roll your eyes. It’s practically the same thing. “But he hasn’t asked anyone else out except you, I think. Maybe just give him a chance?” your friend adds.

It really doesn’t make a difference to you.

“Y/N-chan!!! Is today the day you say yes?” It’s like an every day occurrence and you’re getting annoyed. It’s not that you don’t like him at all, he’s a decent guy, it’s just that you always think it’ll go wrong with how friendly he is to other girls and you don’t deny the fact that you might be an easily jealous person. (You don’t really know but it feels like you would be)

The “harassment” is unreal and at some point you say yes just to shut him up and he is STOKED.

He has the date all planned out, it’s out at a theme park that you’ve actually been wanting to go to for a while. It’s astounding how well prepared he was, he even knew your favourite treat and favourite flavour of cotton candy. You didn’t know that he’d already actively asked your friends for tips a long time ago.

What surprises you most is that he actually isn’t as annoying as you thought he was. “Hey, I know I really forced you out on a date this time, but don’t think too much about it and just have fun, okay?”

He was being considerate of how you felt after all that and didn’t want to pressure you into anything. Still, at the end of that one he asked if you wanted to go on another one and you end up saying you don’t mind.

Still, there are days when you see him in school and he’s animatedly talking to other girls and looking like he enjoys it. You can’t even be mad because it’s not like the two of you are already a thing. This is exactly what you were afraid about, but you don’t want to bring it up to him because you just didn’t want to be the type to try and change someone to mold into your expectations.

Still, you went out on that second date. That second one also surprised you. It was pretty simple this time around, but the two of you ran into a girl from school, who started to animatedly talk to him about some random thing. You stood there, thinking that you’d be ignored now, but he excused himself pretty fast from the conversation. “Ah, Rika, sorry, I’m busy right now, I’ll talk to you next time okay?” and pulls you along.

You blink and tell him, “...You could’ve talked to her for a bit... I wouldn’t mind...” He looks back at you, surprised. “Huh? I’m not wasting my precious date time,”

You find out he’s a pretty one-track mind person (which means that he wasn’t all that great at multi-tasking) but that meant that when he set his focus on you, he wouldn’t put it on anyone else.

Him being friendly with other girls was probably because he was a funny person and easy going, but it actually had nothing to do with how loyal he could or couldn’t be.

This was further proven when, while in class, he again was talking to another girl but he saw you outside the classroom carrying a heavy box, probably from the art room and completely abandons his conversation with that girl without warning and goes out to help you.

He always gravitates towards you in the end.

It’s on the third date that the two of you exchange phone numbers and get to know each other a bit more. You learn that he’s pretty passionate about volleyball and apparently that if he’s set his sight on something, he doesn’t give up easily on it.

He’s annoyed that he can’t walk to school with you though, cause you two live on completely different sides of town. But when he has time he still walks you home then takes the bus back to his place. You tell him he doesn’t have to do that since its such a hassle but he keeps saying spending extra time with you is worth it.

Before your fourth date he invites you to one of his games. He’s real energetic about it and he really has a different kind of drive. Even when their team is lagging behind he manages to keep his determination and keep pushing. That’s another different side of him you see.

You start to feel like he’s actually not as bad as you thought he was at first.

This guy, because he’s so friendly, he ends up having a lot of girl fans but when he sees you at the stands, again, with his one-track mind, he completely doesn’t see anyone else except you (you probably earn a few glares from other girls but whatevs)

What probably nails it for you is when there’s a sudden commotion outside the classroom one day. “Don’t talk about her like that. So what if you’re pretty? You expect me to like you when you’re so foul mouthed?” Everyone is practically outside their classrooms watching as Tartaglia confronts a girl who looks shocked. It was brutal, and the girl runs away crying.

Tartaglia walks off as well, probably to cool off but you follow him up to the school rooftop. You give him some time to cool down before approaching him and asking if he’s okay. He flashes you a smile.

“She said some nasty stuff about you and I couldn’t control myself. I’m probably no different to her...” he sighs a little and finally you see that he was genuine in every sense, just that he gets overexcited at times.

You thank him for standing up for you and he shrugs. “It’s my fault anyway, for always entertaining them when they want to talk. I don’t want to be rude and turn them down all the time, but that gives them the wrong idea...”

You say “Well, once we become official maybe they’ll stop getting the wrong idea and stop latching on to you...”

“Yeah...” It takes him a few seconds before he freaks out “WAIT, YOU WANT TO BE OFFICIAL?!”

It was heading that way anyway, so you agree but boy what a handful of a boyfriend he is cause he’s on such a different high when the two of you are officially an item. He literally doesn’t even want to be apart from you even for a minute. The kind that would say “I missed you,” even when you just went to the bathroom for 5 minutes.

#6 Kazuha (Decoy/Middle Blocker/Wing Spiker)

Respectful, polite and patient. You waited a while before this guy asked you out officially.

Beforehand the two of you acted like a couple already anyway. The type that people would ask “Are you two dating?” but then both of you would deny it.

It was more of a friendship that was in plateau. It wasn’t going past that it seemed.

You were childhood friends, your parents knew each other so you grew up around each other. Hence in the mornings the two of you would walk to school with each other.

Even if you keep saying that the two of you aren’t dating, in your class, the two of you are pretty much seen as a couple (everyone ships you as well) Kazuha is usually nice to everybody in general, but he’s a little different with you. There’s an added sense of gentleness.

Sometimes you pack lunch for him and sometimes he packs it for you (It’s on both your mother’s requests. Your mom would go, oh tell Kazuha not to bring lunch tomorrow I made enough for him too. Type of thing)

If you were sick even the teacher would know and say “Kazuha here’s an extra worksheet for Y/N, pass it on to her,”

There are really times where the class doubts that the two of you are just friends (can you tell that your whole class is just waiting in bated breath for the two of you to start dating?) There was one time where you got hurt in PE class, it was wholly an accident that Henry collided with you (it was a game of dodgeball) but Kazuha had a different air around him and everyone saw the glare that he directed at Henry. (It was scary because Kazuha always had a smile on his face) but then it was gone as soon as it came and everyone thought they just imagined it.

Everyone except Henry. Henry still remembers that and he will never forget it. Poor Henry.

Even with things like crying, Kazuha knew that side of you. When there was a time you got so frustrated because you studied really hard for a test but still failed it. You went off to the bathroom during lunch time. When you came out, all cried out and ready for class again you were suddenly pulled into a warm embrace. Kazuha had been waiting outside for you. His darn hugs makes you cry all over again.

The real change happened when he saw you getting a love letter in your locker. You opened it in front of Kazuha and read it. It was a really sweet letter and you didn’t outright reject the guy. Apparently it was a senior and you’d caught his eye. Kazuha never said anything about those letters.

One day that senior writes that he wants to meet you at the school garden after school that day. You agree and the senior confesses to you. Kazuha is round the corner listening to all of it and he’s struck by the panic that he feels. That’s it. No more walking home with you, or picking you up. No more lunches together and no more hugs to comfort you--but he heard you reject him.

The relief he feels is what gives him the biggest sign that he didn’t want to see you with someone else. He doesn’t ask that day why you reject the senior, you came back to Kazuha with a smile anyway and you seemed pretty content with your decision.

While walking home that day, he stops dead in his tracks and you realize seconds later that he has stopped walking. You turn back and you see an unreadable expression on his face. “...Kazuha?”

“...Y/N... I don’t like it,” Kazuha had a hard time saying what he needed to say because this man is just not the selfish kind. “I don’t like it, when I think that you might date another person,”

Your shoulders relax, you look at his face for a bit more before smiling and walking up to him and taking his hand. “Kazuha, it’s always been you. You slowpoke,”

It’s ironic how you call him slowpoke when he probably has the fastest reaction times in his team.

#7 Xiao (Libero)

“Xiao! You have to stop putting all your time in volleyball practice! I swear your grades are going to suffer!”

That is basically the epitome of your relationship before the two of you started dating. You got on his nerves because you nagged him to no end. You were childhood friends, but the kind that loved to argue a lot. That’s just how your dynamics was. In school though, the two of you ended up in different classes, so you didn’t really see him all that much.

His grades never did suffer though, he was a decent student but he always pushed himself to do better in volleyball. Boy was obsessed with the game and he just wanted to keep on getting better.

You on the other hand, were a pretty mild person and stayed with the music club. (You didn’t know how to play any instrument though)

Xiao always acted tough in front of others but when he was younger he would cry easily when frustrated. Growing up, that crying just turned into hot-headedness. He had a temper sometimes, but you were used to it.

Despite you always nagging him about taking breaks from volleyball from time to time you still went to his games. He really was a great libero. Quick reflexes and good receives, you admitted that you were a little jealous of how much progress he’d been making. It seemed as if he was slightly further away from you. He now had his own thing to focus on and yet you...had set your sights on nothing.

Nevertheless that made you determined to learn an instrument, and you particularly chose the flute because you remembered that Xiao liked the flute. Though, it disappointed you a little that your choice of musical instrument was dictated by Xiao. It’s like he was always on your mind. It was probably here that you realized you liked the guy more than you thought you did.

With you focusing on music club a bit more and Xiao pouring his time into volleyball, the two of you spent less and less time together. You hadn’t really realized it until you got a text message from him one day. “Hey, you ok?” “Yea, why?” “Nothing, I just haven’t seen you in a while,”

You were a little surprised he noticed but you arranged to spend lunch with him the next day at school.

Nothing really changed between the two of you, lunch was spent normally, with you berating him and him glaring at you while he ate and chewed on his food. Occasionally you would pinch his arm when you thought he wasn’t listening to you.

Xiao always looked annoyed when you berated him but in truth he couldn’t quite imagine what it would be like if you stopped doing that. He messaged you that day because he was struck with the sudden emptiness of not hanging out with you for a while.

“...What happened to your hand?” He asked, seeing some of your fingers bandaged up. “Oh... I’m learning to play an instrument, it gets sore when I go for hours so...” Xiao knew how that felt, his arms would get red too when he practiced receives too much.

“....Are you going to let me hear?” “Huh?” “...You playing an instrument, are you going to let me hear?” “Oh, uh... I guess? Maybe when I’m a little better at it,”

In some senses he was glad you found something you really wanted to try but on the other hand he felt as if you were slipping away and growing up without him a little. Which was a good thing, right? It’s not like you always had to watch him grow.

But that had hit much harder when you missed one of his games. He looked up to the stands, to the chair that you would always be on and found it empty. Ah, that’s right, the music club had an event today too.

He called you up after that game and asked if you were done with your music club activities. You said it’ll be 15 minutes more and he said he’d wait outside for you at the auditorium.

He was surprised when the auditorium doors opened and files and files of people who were audiences walked out. He didn’t think that the event was such a big one. When he spotted you, he waved you over and said the two of you could walk home together. “You played today?” He asked you and you scratched your cheek, those bandages were still on your fingers. “Yeah, a little, not a solo though. Not a big deal, you probably wouldn’t be able to hear my flute at all!”

“...It is a big deal,” he said as the two of you walked. You glanced at him sideways. “It’s a big deal cause you worked hard on it...You’ve always been at my back so...So invite me to the next one, I’ll come watch. I don’t care how small your part is,”

You are SHOOK at how touched you are, you NEARLY felt like crying right then and there but you revert to your “annoying childhood friend mode” and pinch his cheek. “Hah? You’re just inviting yourself now? You got some nerve...” The rest of the walk ends up in banter.

But then you do end up inviting him to the next concert of the music club. It was at the auditorium as well, and although you and the club were supposed to play as an orchestra, your flute part was given a little bit of solo time, probably just a few precious seconds.

It isn’t much of a shock to Xiao when he’s a little nervous for you, but you played just fine and the melody was a calming one.

“So, how was it?” You ask when you meet him outside again. “...Good,” he was never really good at giving compliments but him showing up was a compliment enough for you. He glanced at your fingers again. “...You really should stop spending so much time practicing, your fingers are going to break,” You laugh, cause that sounded like exactly what you would say to him about volleyball. “Says you, the volleyball freak,”

“...It’s not about that, I just can’t hold them when they’re all bandaged up,” He says to you and again you’re shook. “...What do you mean?” He’s walking ahead of you and he doesn’t seem to want to meet your gaze. “I mean that I can’t hold your hand,” he mutters and you most likely blush.

“...I mean, how long have you been wanting to do that...?” You ask him as you fall in step with each other. “...For a while,”

There’s nothing but the sound of footsteps between the two of you, before he feels the tangle of your fingers around his after a few seconds and your slight murmur. “Idiot, they’re not that fragile...”

Nothing is said between the two of you about dating, but the two of you know that it’s already happened. Maybe later on, he’ll confirm it, but for now you’re happy with this.

#8 Thoma (Pinch Server/Middle Blocker)

You don’t go to the same school, but your school is just a few blocks away from his and you always pass it on your way home.

Aside from that, he’s actually your neighbor! And let’s face it, if you have a neighbor as handsome as him you’d probably spend a lot of time looking out your window to see if he’s out there or something. It just so happens that your bedroom window faces the front of your house, which is right next to his.

So, for the longest time, the only thing you know about Thoma is that he is extremely helpful. He meets his mom out at the pavement when she comes back with groceries and helps her carry it. He walks his dog Taroumaru every day. You’ve even seen him helping a random granny with her groceries the other day. So in a sense, you’ve built this totally perfect image of Thoma in your mind. Without even talking to him.

One day you just happen to go out of your house for school at the same time as him and just as you come out of the gate you see him and he’s looking at you, then he breaks into a smile. “Oh hey! You go to the school near ours? That’s their uniform right?”

You were extremely shy to talk to him but he made it easy to converse. He was actually really funny and had some weird thoughts going on in his mind sometimes. You hadn’t even realized you were walking together until he was already at his school and waved goodbye to you.

That was the first time you interacted with him and that was pretty much it for six months. The rest of the time was just looking out your window and sometimes seeing him there.

Until one day, you ended track and field practice late. The sky was already dark and you were just walking home, when you run into him at his school gates as well. He blinks at you and you blink at him. “Oh! Neighbor! Wow you’re out late too! Ahaha!” And again he’s so good wiith conversations that the two of you fall in step with each other. You learn that he’s in his school’s volleyball team and you tell him you’re in track and field.

It’s here that you see a different side of him. “I...don’t know...maybe I’m not cut out for volleyball, I’m new in the team and I feel like I’m not really helping all that much,” so he was a normal person with normal insecurities too. You tell him to just keep trying and that it’s probably too early to give up. He smiles and laughs “You’re totally right!”

Again, for a few months, you don’t see him at all. The next time you see him is because you forgot your keys at home and both your parents were out. It was an extremely hot summer day too, as you just sat on your porch steps.

You weren’t really paying attention to who was passing by outside the gates. But Thoma passed by, and he back tracked when he thought he saw you just sitting there. “Hey, you okay?” You look up and explain the situation to him. “Oh... Well, come over my place while you wait for them! It’s really hot out here! I’m sure my mom won’t mind!”

You strongly refuse, mostly because you were freakin embarrassed. “Come on, really, you’re gunna die out here,” in the end you really just wanted air conditioning so you agreed.

His mom was as nice as he was and prepared cold tea for you to drink. She did leave the two of you in the living room and went off to do her own thing. While Thoma changed out of his uniform, you did your homework on their dining table. It looked like he had the same idea since he brought his school bag down with him and sat next to you to do his. “Wow, it looks like your math is a lot harder than ours,”

When the two of you finished, your mom messaged you saying that she and your dad was going to be a bit later than usual today because of business meetings. Thoma took that as an opportunity to offer “Wanna watch this new series together? It’s a mystery show,” and he went off on a tangent about how it was pretty popular these days. You agreed just for the heck of it, I mean you were in his house, what choice did you have? So the two of you moved to the sofa and watched it in the living room together.

Surprisingly you ended up liking it, but on the third episode, your mom called and said they were back home. “Ah that’s too bad, hey let’s watch it again next time!”

You didn’t really expect there to be a “next time” it was just one of those things that people said to be polite. But, come Friday that week and your mom answers to a knock on the door. “Mrs.(your last name)! I was wondering if Y/N was in?” Indeed you were and you were so dumbfounded when he said the two of you can continue watching that series together and asked if you preferred to watch it at yours or at his. You didn’t mind either way so you end up watching it at his.

So over the course of the week he ends up going to your house or you end up going to his just to watch that series together. It was naturally more fun to watch it with someone, you could share your reactions together and talk about it as well. All of this happens in the living room though, while one of your parents were around.

It was a few weeks later that he tells you he’s going to have his first volleyball game and he was hella nervous for it. He didn’t ask you to come, he just talked about it but you took note of the date and showed up to watch him.

You honestly didn’t even know what you were doing there. I mean, he probably had other people supporting him, right? He seemed like the type to have a lot of friends and everything. Just before the game started he spotted you off to the side and he’s shocked, but he jogs towards you “You came...to watch me?” he asks this with wide eyes. “Umm... Yeah? Since you did say you were nervous... A-Am I making it worse? I can go...”

“No!! I-It’s good! I’m happy!” He was a bit jittery but he did really look happy. Before he leaves, some of his guy friends come around and he introduces you to them, then goes off for his game. His guy friends look equally nice, but they snicker around you and one of them speaks up. “Ah, so you’re the girl Thoma has been talking about so much,”

You’re surprised yet again. His friends basically throw him under the bus while the poor thing was nervous for his first game. His friends say that Thoma’s always excited for Friday nights cause he gets to watch the series with you and some other things that you found amusing.

Thoma’s team ends up winning and you congratulate him for a job well done, but all the things his friends said is still swimming around in your head. He meets his friends briefly, before they all leave and Thoma comes back around to you.

You just can’t hold it in. How can you keep it a secret? Plus you’ve been crushing on the guy for a while too. “Um so... your friends...they’re a little talkative...” you trail off seeing if he would get the hint. It takes him a few seconds before his face is a blushing mess. “W-Wait, did they say anything weird? D-Did they tell you a-about the stuff I say about you?”

You meekly nod your head and his face basically combusts into redness. Then he sighs... “I just... really like your company,” the both of you are just red.

“...Same,” you finally say and he takes that as a positive sign. “Th-Then, you don’t mind spending a bit more time with me, right?”

It’s a really simple start, but it was also really wholesome.

Tips are really appreciated! Or if you want something written ASAP, my commissions are open in limited amounts!

genre: fluff headcanons

cosiest setups. maybe with a few succulent plants, but definitely some tiny figurines lying here and there. really organised yet clustered desk. minimal colour schemes. always have an extra chair tucked under the desk with your favourite pillow or plush toy. would play relaxing games with you such as animal crossing, calico, terraria. always has the playlist you made switched on during gaming sessions, whether you are here or elsewhere. loves it when you would slip into the gaming room with a mug of hot coffee/tea. sometimes would sketch or doodle pictures of you or make picrew avatars for the both of you. would definitely set it as their twitch, discord or social media icons. streams on twitch every now and then, but would rather focus on gaming with you. it’s a lot more private and intimate. cries during emotional quests and stories in front of you so please give them a hug :-( literally looks at you for reassurance that there will be a happy ending or some good out of it. “thank you for comforting me, i love you” and they will always love you unconditionally.

— thoma, JEAN, kaedehara kazuha, KAMISATO AYAKA, gorou, ALBEDO, keqing, yoimiya

invests a lot in gaming. built their own pc, and definitely will build yours including a table, the gaming chair - everything you need for top quality gameplay. plays a variety of games. doesn’t have a favourite, but will like whatever you pick or enjoy. occasionally or regularly streams with friends, and especially with you. definitely yells out, “y/n come here, chat wants to see you”. effortlessly good at video games with minimal practice. gets emotionally invested in characters, lore, or competitive rounds/matches so they need your hand on their shoulder when things get too tense. pretty much a clear desk btw. except for the little figurine, mini speaker or controller you bought for their birthday. has pretty light decor and 1 or 2 posters above the monitor. streams privately for you on discord and loves your lil’ reactions. made a private discord server between the both of you. puts their favourite selfies/ootd pics of you there. always feels more confident and/or comforted with you during streams. kisses your cheek when people simp for you. “i’m so lucky to have you”, they whisper in your ear to watch you blush on stream.

— TARTAGLIA, yanfei, KUJOU SARA, raiden ei, ningguang, xiao, DILUC

complete ass wipe (as a joke). toxic troll in almost every lobby. but would definitely turn the swearing and toxicity down a notch when you are around. relatively messy table but will definitely have a picture of the both of you. gets embarrassed when you tell them off for being mean/toxic but secretly loves getting attention from you. deliberately doesn’t want another gaming chair so you would have to sit on their lap. sometimes, they would play horror games just to take a piss on your reactions with jump scares. would occasionally toss the controller at you and ask you to carry the game while they run to the kitchen or bathroom. wouldn’t even help you when they come back but make some annoying remark like, “aww baby y/n missed 3 shots and respawned again?? wow…” with a smug face. super, duper annoying. but will be quick to call anyone out for being harsh/rude to you in lobbies or games. quick with comebacks and the funniest insults. absolutely no one can disrespect you on their watch. “i got you, baby.” and they never fail each time.

— YAE MIKO, KAEYA, arataki itto, hutao, beidou, KAMISATO AYATO, SCARAMOUCHE, venti

doesn’t play video games but will sit patiently next to you, or join your streams on twitch or discord. will definitely offer to be your moderator and pay close attention to hateful/problematic comments. listens diligently about the rules and tips for games. sometimes does their own research so they can learn to play your favourite video games. will be too shy to offer but would hope to impress you with their skills. would give you really educated and helpful responses to better your gameplay. they’ll end up as a walking encyclopaedia and you would learn from them, more than you could ever teach them. definitely your number one fan through thick and thin. “i’m proud of you, dearest.” without fail, you always made them proud.

— EULA, GANYU, lisa, yelan, SHENHE, sangonomiya kokomi, ZHONGLI

Hello (*´ー｀*) just wanna say first that your fics are adorable and such a blast to read~

It was only a matter of time before I would also ask for a fic, while your taking suggestions—(feel free to skip this tho if you have other things to do!)

Something for either Xiao, Scara or maybe Albedo? I need to see my small beans break character and just laugh, you can write them however you want. And I will draw something based of what you write ^^ (sounds like a collab but it’s literally a trade I think _φ(･_･

SO. first things first. i got TWO asks for lee albedo not including this one. so i thought.... why not just use all of them right?? BTW. this was SO fun to write i am FOAMJNG at the mouth i love albedo so hard

btw pt 2. this plot was ENTIRELY brought to me by @duckymcdoorknob ur a real one for this frfr.

cold

established kaebedo

word count: 1.4k

Kaeya's teeth are chattering. He wraps his arms around himself, curling up in his seat.

"B-Bedo... This potion will be incredibly useful, but... D-Don't you think we could light a fire? Just for a moment?" He asks. His voice comes out stuttery and slow as the violent chill seeps further into his skin.

Albedo doesn't spare him a glance. "Not yet. There's an incredibly high chance that that could ruin this potion, and we've gotten so far already." Normally, Kaeya admires Albedo's utter disregard for his surroundings when he's working, but now that he himself is part of those surroundings, he feels more like a victim to that trait more than anything else.

Capped potion bottles and books with purely theoretical material jnside are strewn across Albedo's desk and the ground. Some have an icy blue fluid inside, fizzing with cryo energy while others mainly have leftover particles or are just empty. The torches that surround them are tempting him to just get up and light one, but Kaeya knows how important this is to Albedo. And besides, he's never been one to shy away from a challenge.

"I want you to put cryo essence in this bottle for me." Without looking away from the book he has in his other hand, Albedo holds up yet another potion bottle to him. One thing Kaeya does notice is that Albedo's hands are shaking as well. When he looks at his lover's face, he notices that his nose and cheeks are significantly more red than the rest of his skin.

Cute is the first word to come to mind, but the others are a strange satisfaction that the cold still gets to Albedo as much as it does Kaeya. "Essence? I'm afraid I don't understand, love."

Albedo's eyes turn to Kaeya before he bothers to move his head in kind. "Watch," He looks unamused, but not annoyed. "This is geo essence."

From Albedo's hands sprout many small orange dots in the air. Kaeya can sense the power radiating from them, but nothing about it other than it's orange-y hue and easily sensed power would tell Kaeya that it's geo essence.

Kaeya is not ashamed to admit that he isn't entirely sure how to do that.

"How do I...?"

"Sh. Look." Albedo takes Kaeya's hand, holding the backside with his own and opening his shaking fingers all the way with the others. "Take your gloves off."

Kaeya hesitates. Underneath these gloves are burn scars from when...

But it's Albedo, isn't it?

Kaeya takes off his glove, but that doesn't mean he has to be happy about it. His hands get colder and they shake much more, but Albedo doesn't comment on that nor the burn scars.

But he does look up at Kaeya with an expression that can almost be mistaken for pity. Kaeya isn't sure what it really is, subtly written underneath that inexpressive face, but he knows that Albedo is not one for pity. But doesn't he also know that Albedo would jump at the chance to question every little unknown thing about Kaeya?

It comforts him a little that his Bedo knows him well enough not to ask.

"Here, just... I'm not sure how to explain this to you. It comes so easily to me," Albedo says. His voice is softer than the uncaring, 'working' one from before. "You usually use your vision for combat, so... Try thinking about it in a sense other than as a weapon,"

Kaeya doesn't know what that means. Despite that, Albedo gives him a precious, hopeful look and he can't deny such a cute face. His hands move slowly and he squints when he tries to 'think about it in a sense other than as a weapon,' but eventually...

Icy, nearly-white particles fall from his hands. It's far less graceful than when Albedo did it, but he's still done it. However, that made his hands far more cold and his fingers are really starting to hurt.

" 'Bedo. How about that fire?" He asks, a nervous smirk plastered to his face. But Albedo is so concentrated on his work that he's already ceased listening.

Kaeya decides he's had enough. He knows something that will warm his hands right up, and by Archons will he do it.

Pulling his chair closer to Albedo's, he snakes his hands under his shirt and nuzzles his cold nose into his neck.

"A-Ah-! Kaeya, that's cold-!" Albedo yelps, almost dropping the bottle when he flinches. He sets the bottle back down on the desk, clasping his hands over the ones under his shirt.

"Hmm? Is it? My, my. That must be awful, hm?" Kaeya grins, nuzzling further while his hands travel further up in search of more warmth than his alchemist can give him.

"K-Kh! Don't, aahh..!" Albedo's doubled over now. One hand grasps at Kaeya's while the other goes to his face, not doing a great job at hiding his smile.

Wait.

His smile?

Oh, that's priceless. Absolutely wonderful, Kaeya has just dug up gold.

It doesn't escape his notice that his lover is blushing, either- And not just from the cold, if the way his voice cracks in his flustered protests says anything about it. "Kaeya, I'm B-Busy, Don't do this now-"

"Don't do what now? I'm cold, pretty boy. Can you blame me?" Kaeya's sly grin surely becomes obvious just in his teasing tone. He takes it a step further, curling one finger and dragging it up and down the alchemist's side.

Albedo curls up further, squirming so much that he gives Kaeya an opening to lift him by the waist and place him in his lap. " 'Bedo, darling~ It's just so cold, what else would you have me do?"

Albedo covers his face with both hands, gasping with quiet, badly held back giggles all the while squirming left to right. "Nnhnhn- Mmph,,! Kaeya! I have to wohork! You, you can't-! Mmhmhm..!!" He tries to curl up as far as he possibly can but it's no secret that Kaeya is far stronger than him and just pulls him back where he wants him.

"I can't what? I'm only trying to warm up a little bit, love." Kaeya's smirk is so fond even while teasing his poor boyfriend. Rather than running just one finger up and down those poor, poor sides of his, Kaeya opts to hold him close to his chest while spidering over his stomach instead.

Immediately, the dam breaks, and Albedo's sweet, soft laughter spills from his lips. "Kaeyahahaaa!" He whines, arching his back into Kaeya's hands, but all this does is bring his hand closer to that sensitive spot. "I-I hahahave to wohohork! Mmhm,,! No, no, h-hold on- eek..!!!" He drops his hands to push at Kaeya's, now pinching and massaging at his hips. There's absolutely no pattern to the way he does it and the electric, ticklish feeling makes Albedo's thoughts feel like they're shutting down and racing too fast all at once.

Albedo hadn't even known he was ticklish. He hadn't known, also, that he... Wouldn't be so opposed to the feeling.

"Oh? Do you? I'm sorry, this doesn't tickle, does it? I didn't even notice! You're ticklish here, 'Bedo?" Kaeya lowers his hands further to squeeze and pinch at Albedo's inner thighs, chuckling along with him when his sweet, soft giggling jumps to something more happy, loud and precious as he shakes with laughter.

"Ah-! Ehehe,!! P-Plehehease!" Albedo doesn't even know what he's pleading for, really. He does know, though, that this is such a delightful, freeing feeling despite the fact that Kaeya's tickling hands are freezing and attacking him in places that he's sure will kill him. He gasps between bouts of desperate laughter and grabs at Kaeya's hands, though makes no real attempt to stop him.

"Mhmhm~ What a pretty laugh you have... You'll let me hear more of it, won't you?" Kaeya starts pressing light, soft kisses to Albedo's neck and laughs into it as he scrunches his shoulders and squeaks, squeals mixing with unmistakably elated laughter. Only when Albedo really starts pushing at his hands does he stop.

Albedo melts into his chest, still giddily smiling. Kaeya wraps both arms around his alchemist's waist, pulling him up to face him.

"About that fire...?" He asks, to which Albedo just nods. Before he stands to light a fire, Kaeya presses a soft kiss to his darling's lips. When Albedo's arms wrap around his neck, he skitters his fingers just at the bottom of his stomach. "We should test out where else you're ticklish, hm?"
