#general gorou

[lightly-toastedd]

wasted

[iridescentmess]

gorou is in a bit of a predicament. every night for the past month, he’s been getting dreams of you, his beloved.

now, usually, that wouldn’t be a problem; however, recently, the image of your soaked cunt has been haunting every dream.

he’ll wake up sore and horny, dick throbbing as he pants softly. what’s he supposed to do? he’d feel horrible if he woke you up, but enough is enough!

so, he hesitantly pokes your shoulder, large eyes peeking over at your sleeping form. his dick grew harder at the sight of you so vulnerable.

he couldn’t help but rub himself on you, his hand snaking through your arm and resting on your hip as he moans softly in your ear. his warm breath fans on your skin, his lips ghosting over your neck.

“please, wake up.” he’d whimper, messily humping onto you as his hand rubs at your hip. “please, please, baby.”

posting this super late at night. will probably edit in the morning..!

[ghostofreach]

I’ve been very sapped of inspiration/motivation lately, but redesigning characters is such a fun exercise that keeps me going. I love traditional Japanese clothing so much you people have NO idea…….

Anyway I kind of despise Gorou’s official design pls don’t kill me😢🙏

Definitely let me know if you want to see any other characters redesigned!! I’m planning on doing more in the future so I’m definitely open to taking requests on that end💯

Reblogs and comments are appreciated

[ugly-pickle]

Good morning, Pickle. My second request for the day. Please kindly consider this angsty Gorou request: Gorou can only watch as you exchange nuptial cups with Heizou. He know he has no right to stop the wedding, not when he was the one who broke up with you to woo Kokomi, only to find out later that she was only using him to get her parents off her back about her being single.

Please also kindly take as long as you need with this request; I have no qualms in waiting. Furthermore, by no means feel obligated to prioritize this request over your other requests.

regret ☆ gorou

CHARACTERS: gorou x reader

SYNOPSIS: gorou dumps you for kokomi (っ- ‸ - ς)

GENRE: angst 🦢

W/C: 0.8k

T/W: cussing, breaking up, cheating (if there’s any i missed let me know!)

A/N: bro i hate exams (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ ) my next one will also probably take eons to complete….

“WHAT THE FUCK GOROU.”

SMACK

you touch the now red mark on your face. it stings, but the ache in your heart is worse. “never talk about kokomi like that again,” gorou says with a stern tone. “tch, YOUR kokomi? i have never seen her look at you for more than 2 seconds outside of a meeting.” youre now pissed off due to gorou’s stupidity, but you cant help but feel a bit jealous, well, kokomi did just steal your lover’s heart with just a snap of her fingers.

gorou’s tail looks stiff, you notice that he does that when hes uncomfortable or angry, you take note of this. you might regret what youre going to say, but a river cannot stop flowing just because of a small inconvenience. you shall see where the future takes you. “if i upset you that much then i’ll leave. goodbye gorou,” you want to cry but your dignity tells you not to; you grab your wallet and head out the door.

before you completely close the door, you can hear a whimper, and it’s not yours.

it’s sunny outside, youre not sure if you should be grateful that theres no rain to make you feel worse, or if you should feel bad that the rest of inazuma is having a great time without you. although, no matter how clear the day was, you still manage to bump into someone.

“y/n? oh my archons, it is you! how have you been?” says the mysterious voice. “heizou?” tears are finally dripping down.

…

you slightly grip the cups in your hands, youre so excited that youre scared that the sake might spill. the moment slips by like a flash and youre already taking your last sip. you look up to see your husband, hes grinning ear to ear and so are you.

heizou looks so lovely when hes happy, but now you can see all of his emotions, whether if hes happy, sad, jealous, angry, disgusted, confused, you can see all of it and only you.

you look into the crowd, all of your friends and family are there, heizou’s side as well. theyre happy for you.

thats when you see gorou.

beside him was Sangonomiya Kokomi, Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island, what a mouthful, not to mention how bitter the title tasted in your mouth. gorou’s tail was stiff, you wonder why; his eyes were also glistening, such pretty eyes shouldnt cry….

WAITWAITWAIT

nononono, youre literally having your wedding ceremony right now, what are you thinking?…

your wedding ceremony has ended, you and heizou are now officially married.

gorou’s perspective:

“gorou? are you okay?” kokomi asks, “u-uhm yea, im fine,” gorou stutters a bit. what if he was the one up there with you. what if he was up there exchanging nuptial cups with you.

“hey kokomi?” gorou asks, “yes gorou?” kokomi responds, “im gonna get some fresh air, i’ll be right back,” kokomi nods her head, gorou presses a kiss on her forehead then exits.

he feels guilty. he kissed kokomi while thinking about you, no, he thought about you every waking second and you even appeared in his dreams. a few tears roll down his eyes. is he happy for you or jealous of heizou? all of these emotions swirling around him, and he cant tell which one hes feeling.

he feels a hand in his shoulder. he jumps, hes a bit startled, it’s you…

you look so lovely, the fabric, the design, the jewels, and just the everything made you look heavenly. he picks up a scent that he always longed for, it was yours, he just never realized it.

“were you crying gorou?…” he feels more tears coming up, did he miss you that much?

“congratulations y/n, uhm… we ended on a bad note, look i just wanna say that ‘m sorry.” a small smile appears on your face, “apology accepted, that was the past, lets focus on the present,” you gently squeeze gorou’s hand. “lets catch up some other time, yea?” you said, “y-yea,” and with that you disappeared. he feels empty.

“there you are!” kokomi’s voice rings through his ears. “m-my love!” gorou says, becoming stiff again, “look gorou, we need to talk,” her words feel stiff, uncomfortable even. “of course! anything! what do you need to talk about?” gorou asks.

“…lets split up gorou.”

….

“eh?” hes dumbfounded. “lets break up,” nonono this cant be happening, “why?… i thought you were happy, were you not?” gorou’s life was already falling apart, this was just the breaking point. “look, gorou, i have strict parents that expect me to produce… offspring, i would like to label this event ‘traumatic’ so they’ll stop bothering me for the time being. my condolences.”

why bother anymore?

NOTE FOR SAILORSTAR9: i literally had no idea what nuptial cups were before this （´∇｀''）

🐶 Gorou in the Genshin x Sushiro Collab 🐾

[apollodarling-writes]

how i think inazuman men would kiss you and where :

ayato likes to kiss you in the privacy of your shared home, wrapping his arms around your waist and pressing a tender kiss to the crown of your head, then molding his lips to yours. ayato likes to lavish you in praise, murmuring sugary phrases that rot your teeth to the core. if the two of you are in public, the most he'll do is swiftly press a kiss to your knuckles seeing as he's the head of the yashiro commission and has to be on his best behavior at all times.

thoma likes to wrap his arms around your waist and dip you, quickly sealing his lips against yours and cheekily smiling at you while your brain short-circuits. the next thing you know, you're upright again and he's gone back to his duties as the yashiro commission's right-hand man as if nothing happened at all. but, seeing the giddy smile and obvious flush on his face, you don't have to worry about whether or not you'd imagined it.

gorou likes to kiss you while the two of you cuddle. oftentimes, he's curled into you, his tail around your thighs and arms wrapped around your waist, making it easy to hide his flush when he trails kisses along the length of your throat. he especially likes kissing your collarbone since when he's in that position, it's the closest he can get to your heart without having to get comfortable again.

arataki itto is a very bold man— this we all know. itto likes to take you in his arms, spinning the both of you a few times before he lifts you ever higher and crashes his lips against yours. after his rather bold display of affection, he’ll rub his nose against yours and grumble something about it being the “oni way to kiss a cutie like you without actually doing it” when shinobu expresses that it’s not proper for itto to display his affection for you to that degree in public.

heizou likes to teasingly trail his kisses along your throat, leading to your jaw, and stopping at the corner of your lips. he likes to leave you wanting more when he pulls away to finish whatever it is that he was doing, smirking and feigning innocence when you pout at him. you always get what you want in the end though— he can’t say no to his beloved.

watching the sunrise w/ genshin men <3

lineup includes : diluc, kaeya, zhongli, childe

 all fluff 🥰 || gn! reader ||

>diluc<

two cups of coffee sit on the outdoor table. the chairs on each side are positioned perfectly towards the east of Mond where you can see the distant city and the first gleaming orange rays of the sun peeking past sharp rooftops and rolling hillsides. looking back down to the table, you notice how the fresh steam rolls over the soft lip of your coffee cup, then lilts up into the air lazily to meet the early morning fog. one mixture is considerably darker than the other which lets you know who’s is who’s.

you take a seat, wrap your chilled fingers around your cup, and bring it close to your chest.

“good morning.” the groggy voice comes from beside you, slipper’s growing louder as he approaches.

“good morning 'luc.”

he is so beautiful in the mornings.

his hair falls freely over his shoulders and back. vermillion strands curl wildly around his ears and brush against his full lips. he hadn’t stopped to brush it all out, but his restless sleeping had resulted in cute little cowlicks here and there. his skin, not yet washed, is splotched red from the pressure of sleeping on his tummy, face pressed deep into those cushy pillows he just insisted upon you having. and his eyes, already heavily lidded and droopy, are barely open yet, causing them to seem darker than they truly are.

he glances across the table at you, a lazy yet loving smile pulling on his lips. as the sun rises over the horizon, it casts bright light against his face and his skin seems to glow. slowly, his bare hand slips across the wooden surface.

you reach out for him as well, balancing your mug on your thigh, and assure that your hands link together in the middle. once settled, diluc begins to rub a soft thumb across your knuckles.

“how did you sleep last night, my love?”

>kaeya<

a yawn breaks your lips apart, already closed eyes squeezing tighter. you feel the warm bedsheets fall away as your back arches off the mattress in a full body stretch, toes pointed and arms sprawling.

the stiffness finally dissipates and you sigh, flipping over onto the body next to you.

“ow…” the whine leaves his lips reluctantly as if he’s not quite ready to wake up yet. but by now the sky is jus beginning to brighten up. you can see the beginnings of a beautiful sunrise and kaeya would never forgive you if you let him sleep through it.

so you press a kiss to his nose. “kaeya~” you sing his name, “wake up love, the sun is rising.”

slowly his eyes blink open, one a startling deep blue, the other marred by a pale cataract. your thumb subconsciously runs across the scar under his wounded eye as you watch his body stir.

“good morning sweetheart.” he yawns, finally pushing himself up onto his elbows and rubbing his eyes open.

you roll off him, simply opting to sit up and lean gently against his shoulder as he settles.

there’s a bit of a drool stain on the corner of his lip and his hair stands up wildly. each wave is extremely voluminous, so much so that some strands stick straight up. you do your best to flatten them out for him, but it seems that until he’s bathed his hair wouldn’t be budging.

kaeya doesn’t seems to mind you tending to him though. as predicted his eyes are fixed on the beautiful sunrise outside the window.

the sun is jus beginning to peek over the windowsill, it’s bright rays painting a beautiful mirage of yellows, pinks, and blues all across the morning sky.

“isn’t it gorgeous?” he grins, snaking an arm around your waist and pulling you closer to his chest.

“absolutely.” you agree, though your eyes are stuck entirely on him.

>zhongli<

he arrives with the pristine tea set, carefully balancing it between his two hands so that not a drip spills. the set is from the previous century after all, and the fear that even the slightest tremor would crack the side of such an ornate piece is real for zhongli. ever so gently, he places the metal tray onto the balcony table.

once the tray is settled you reach out and rub your hand along his forearm, “beautifully done honey.”

“thank you,” he closes his eyes and smiles appreciatively before taking a polite step back and gesturing widely to the tray, “drink as much as you like, i can always make more.”

you raise the cup closest to you and hold it carefully in your hands. “these are so beautiful zhongli,” you breathe out his name, completely taken by the ��glowing’ yellow design on the cup’s side, “are they from your past?” you ask hesitantly.

“yes, they’re quite important to me,” he smiles, “but i figured for someone as handsome as you, these would suit the occasion perfectly.”

“thank you.” you murmur, a wild blush rushing over your skin. zhongli chuckles beside you, nudging your foot with his.

“i believe the sunrise is beginning.”

sure enough the sun was truly jus beginning to wake. pale yellow rays begin to break up the fog that shrouds your homes balcony, giving you both a clear view to the street vendors as they set up shop for the day.

the light travels over the dips and cracks in the cobblestone streets, carressing the sides of each house as it travels. early risers begin to throw open their home shutters, fetching the previous days' laundry or watering their flower boxes.

you cast a glance over at your fiance, simply watching as a serene expression crosses his face. he's so incredibly beautiful to you, with an arched nose and full lips. his deep skin tone is complimented by the orange rays that finally touch his cheek, warming his appearance and giving him almost a godly glow. 

>childe<

“it’s cold!” you huff, rubbing your hands up and down your already bundled up arms. Childe laughs heartily beside you, his bright red nose and cheeks no doubt pulsating at the nippy winter air. you’d both been traveling for what felt like hours now across a barren wasteland of ice, miles away from childe’s home with now way to contact anyone. with each breath either of you take, the sting in your throat grows, no longer able to be pushed to the back of your mind. you know it’s nothing a good pot of tea can’t fix, but it’s bothering nonetheless, especially to a person from a warmer climate like yourself.

“it’ll be worth it honey, the fish here are huge!” he exclaims, throwing his arms out recklessly like he’s not carrying two fishing poles with insanely huge and decorative hooks attached to them, “they’re made for handling this frigid type of climate which makes a lot of people think their meat is tough but it’s really so good. it’s tender and if you season it just right like mom does it brings out the best flavor in them i swear. and there’s not a piece of them we don't use, my dad even sells tools he makes out of the bones.” 

no matter how cold it gets, you swear you could listen to childe ramble on about his home life for days. it’s the only time you really get to see his eyes light up, and a smile stretch across his face. those precious little cheeks of his grow red from happiness and his eyes crinkle at the corners. you love watching him get excited over something that’s not putting his life at risk. it’s refreshing. 

“oh! look,” childe reaches out for your hand and pulls you forward slightly, “the sun is coming up!” 

for a moment the both of you pause, watching the pale yellow slump of the sun rise above the vast horizon. the light layer of snow above the ice you stand on begins to sparkle, each flake suddenly shining like singular diamond. you glance to your side to see the shine reflecting in childes eyes, a small smile plastered to his face as he watches. “isn’t it pretty?”

Summer time antics with Inazuma boys

Dancing in the pouring rain created by Ayato's Hydro vision, laughing as you pull him into the ring and ruin his clothing

Running around Inazuma, placing bowls of water out for the stray animals with Thoma, petting each doggie you see

Sitting in front of fan with Itto, opening your mouth to make funny noises, and laughing til your sides hurt

Standing at the bow of a ship and feeling the sea spray hit your face, while standing with Kazuha, instantly cooling both of you down

Pulling Heizou's hair out of his face and into a ponytail, before switching places with him, letting him run his fingers through your hair and away from your face

Eating popsicles with Gorou, sitting in the shade of a big tree and trading bites of the cool treat, basking in each other's presence

A/N My friends said include Enjou so: Making Okonomiyaki with him and disturbing him with how many cabbages you have

Thanks for Reading

Envy is useless

Sumarry: Someone talks bad about you in they're presence.

Characters: Ayato, Thoma, Kazuha, Gorou.

Warnings: Just some bad words.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Masterlist

Ayato

🎴It wasn't something that surprising to be honest. To be the fiance of the Kamisato Ayato and to not be judged seems a beautiful dream. You should've know better than to think that.

🎴But here you were with your fiance at a party with important people. Your lover said he would be with you the entire night but something came up and he had to go for a minute. And in that minute a girl came up to you.

🎴At first she was friendly but you should have known better than that again. Here everyone thinks only about themselves. But you were to late to see that. She already started insulting you.

🎴"I just don't understand how the Kamisato Ayato stepped so lowly to make you his fiance. Look at you. You can't even put make up and get dressed accordingly." That made you look at yourself and self doubt your tastes and your lovers who said it was a perfect choice. "You know? I know someone who is a lot better than you. You can't even talk for yourself don't you? You poor thing.. "

🎴 She wanted to make you cry. You were sure of it. But somehow you feel an arm go to your waist and a familiar scent in your nose.

🎴It was Ayato who heard everything that the girl said to you on his way back. He couldn't believe his ears. How can they talk so lowly to you?

🎴"Sorry to interrupt your conversation but I couldn't stay out of it any longer especially since someone started saying such nonsense. But I could be wrong. Could you repeat?" At that the lady went pale and started to shutter that she didn't do anything. "How strange of you to say that. I heard very clearly that you harrased my fiance here. And I'm going to give you a warning because your parents are very important partners for me. Now leave. "

🎴When the girl went away Ayato took your hand and got you out to look at the stars.

"Love I'm sorry for being so late at your rescue. Next time just leave the conversation immediately. Don't worry about the results. I will take care of it. And just know that you are perfect and that I love you a lot. I will never choose someone else over you."

Thoma

🎋You and Thoma were out in town to buy some groceries for a new dish that you found from your friend. Thoma was very excited to try it out and that's why he said that he will pay for everything. You weren't on the same page with him and you told him that but he just said that you already will cook for him so to pay is the only thing he can do.

🎋This little thing that Thoma did for you started to attract the attention of two girls who liked Thoma for quite some time and feel offended that he buys you things and not them.

🎋"Do you see that girl Thoma buys things for? What a gold digger she is. Can't she just buy them for herself?" "I bet she is with him just for his money."

🎋That little altercation took your attention and Thomas too because he went rigid right next to you. He didn't want to make you feel bad. He just wanted to make something cute for you. He didn't want to inconvenience you any further. You helped him a lot with his chores and when he felt down. That's why he wanted to make something nice for you.

🎋And because he was so angry he didn't care about his image that he worked so hard for and started talking some sense into them.

🎋"Do you even hear yourselves talking? How dare you say something so hurtful to someone like Y/n?! She is a beautiful flower while you are just some thing on the street that no one observes and you think that you are better than anyone. But flash news. You aren't." He would've continued if you weren't there to get him out of that disaster and get him to leave with you.

🎋The two girls started crying and started to ran away from the scene leaving the people surprised.

🎋On the way back to your home people said to Thoma that it was very right what he did and he was very brave to step up for his lover. But Thoma didn't care about what they were saying. What he cared about is your perspective.

"Darling I'm sorry for the scene from earlier I just couldn't keep myself calm and- What? You think that I was very cool and brave? I don't think so that much but thank you. And do not believe what people like them say about you. They are just jealous. And don't be sorry about my reputation because something else will came up in no time and people will forget about it."

Kazuha

🍃 Kazuha was with you all morning and you couldn't understand why. When you asked him about it he said that he feels that something will happen. Something bad. And that is better to be safe than sorry.

🍃And because of that feeling you got a clingy Kazuha with you all day long. Well you couldn't be mad at him because it was cute. He wanted to protect you even if neither of you didn't know of what.

🍃But after some time after you ended up all of your work you sat down with Kazuha on the ship and looked at the sea.

🍃But the two new boys that were just let on the ship for the first time started looking at you. You didn't observe anything and continued to feel the wind. But Kazuha is a different story. He saw everything and every look that they were throwing at you. And when they started talking he swore he could see red in front of his eyes.

🍃"Who let that girl on the ship? They don't know that managing a ship isn't a work for a girl? A girls work is in the kitchen." Kazuha couldn't believe his ears. We're they making discrimination because of your gender? But before Kazuha could think further the other guys started saying something too. "You're totally right. But a girls work is also in bed don't you think? And look at these poor ropes that she did. At a storm they will go just like that."

🍃Just a few moments after he was done with his ramble the guy felt a strong wind that trowed him in the water. To his luck the ship was staying in the same spot and he could climb up again. When he was up he was meet with a pissed Kazuha.

🍃"Do you want to be thrown in the water again? Or your mind came back to you now? How dare you make discrimination just because of the gender of my lover? Who bringed you on the ship? Wasn't Beidou? You know that she is a girl? Are you gonna say that she isn't good as a captain? Now scram from my face before I throw you in the water before we get to the next stop."

🍃The two quickly went away and Kazuha went back to you.

"I was sure something was gonna happen. I'm happy that I was here when it happened and that I wasn't just paranoid. They don't know a thing about a ship and about you. How can they say such things when they are the guests and this is your home too... Oh yeah I'm good don't worry Dove. Now let me tell you a poem so you can forget about those idiots."

Gorou

🦊Gorou was on a rare day of and decided to spend it with you because he started to miss you especially since he was on a long mission on which he couldn't contact you.

🦊But while he was excitedly walking beside you he heard two girls talking.

🦊Did you see the girl the general is with? Is he blind? Can't he see that she is just so ugly? When he wasn't here for a month I thought that he broke up with her. What a shame... " "Yeah I know. Just look at her hair. When was the last time she washed it?"

🦊How dare they talk like that about you? You didn't wash your hair because he didn't want to be away from you for even a second and he didn't let you go to the bathroom. So when he looked at the two girls who were talking about you he couldn't belive his eyes. They were his subordinates. He didn't even miss one second more and went to them.

🦊"What are you doing here?" The girls went rigid and started stutering that they were just taking a walk. "What a coincidence... I was taking one with my lover and I heard some strange things" The girls swallowed slowly. "I'm not gonna beat around the bush anymore. You two are out of my team and I don't want to see your faces ever again! Do not dere say something like this about her ever again!"

🦊The girls ran in shame and Gorou went back to you like nothing happened.

"It was nothing Dear. They just needed to hear the truth. Don't worry about it too much. I only love you and I will never leave you. Now let's go and get some dango. I know it's your favorite."

Hello. If you have any ideas about scenarios please send an ask. I have a request list from where you can choose. I don't have that many ideas and I have one more fic to make from the ideas I have till now. Thank you in advance.

[mermaid-trash]

hey!! could i get itto and a few other characters x traveler reader headcannons?? :D

like reader often does missions similar to the traveler, and maybe comes back hurt on one of them? :]

Hii!! Ofc, thank you for the request ^—^ these were so much fun to write (oh also reader is a resistance soldier in Gorou’s, not a traveller, I hope that’s okay!)

Characters: Itto, Kaeya, Gorou, Diluc (blatant favouritism towards Diluc in this one eeek)

Warnings: slightly gory descriptions of injury/blood, maybe a lil angsty but mostly hurt/comfort yaknow, gn!reader

Feel free to request something, check my pinned post for details!

Inazuma felt different when you weren’t around; Itto had been waiting for weeks for you to return from a mission overseas, and with every day that passed his frustration and desparation only grew, so the moment he heard that you had returned at last, he almost tripped over himself in his rush to see you. It was only when he noticed the grim look on Kuki’s face that he halted, confused. Gently, she informed him that you weren’t in the best condition right now, and suddenly the eager feeling in his stomach was replaced with a cloying knot of fear. Without another word, Itto took off at a sprint and didn’t stop or slow until he was by your bedside, engulfing you in a bearhug faster than the healer could stop him and rambling nonsensically about how happy he was to have you home. His heart pounded where your temple was pressed against his solid chest, and his oni blood tingled with relief now that he knew you were safe, albeit more scraped up than he would like, and back in Inazuma where he can protect you. He vowed, his voice shaking a little pitifully, that no matter how long your recovery may take, he would be by your side, and Itto always kept his promises to you. Every day, he brought foods and drinks helpfully sourced by Thoma, and spent hours sitting with you, either fussing over your bandages with worry pinching his brow or desperately goofing around just to see you laughing instead of in pain.

Evening was just beginning to settle over Mondstadt and the Cavalry Captain was on his way to Angels’s Share to warm a barstool for the remainder of the night when Noelle came running through the cobbled streets towards him, eyes panicked and gasping for breath. In a single rush of breath, she informed him that you had been found, unconcsious and bleeding profusely, outside of the city, and that a few knights had already taken you to Barbara. Familiar frigid cold engulfed Kaeya’s body, and all thoughts of bothering Diluc were wiped from his mind as all he could think of was you, whether you would be okay, whether he would get to hear your sweet voice again. With a short word of thanks to Noelle, he turned on his heel and climbed the stairs to the Cathedral quickly, as though to outrun the dread that nipped at his heels with every step. When he finally laid eyes on you, bruised and bandaged but awake and smiling weakly at Barbara, an involuntary sigh of relief escaped him. For a moment he stayed where he was and simply watched you, feeling the fear loosen its fierce grip on his heart gradually with every second that passed. Of course, he would have to tease you about your inability to dodge attacks aimed at you, but that could wait a few days at least. For now, he would be at your every beck and call, spoiling and pampering you as he felt you deserved until you recovered from your injuries- and then maybe a little while longer too, until Kaeya stops beating himself up for not being able to prevent your injuries.

As a soldier in the Watatsumi Army, you were bound to get injured sometimes; Gorou just hated that he had watched it happen, seen the sword slash the air as though in slow motion before it caught you in the ribs, leaving a deep gash in its wake. A scream tore from his throat at the same time as you let out a yell of pain, and suddenly his legs were carrying him across the battlefield to you, arms wrapping around you to prevent you from hitting the ground. As the battle raged on around him, he carried your weak body to the healer, muttering words of apology as you complained of the pain when his trembling hand pressed to your wound, applying pressure in the hopes of slowing the bloodflow. Even as the healer worked, the general clasped one of your hands in both of his and waited resolutely, only his pinned-back ears hinting at the fear that had seized his heart the moment he saw you in danger. Once you’re stable, Gorou does his best to put on a stern expression and chastise you for being reckless, but his voice shook too much and his hands clasped yours too tightly; you felt the anxiety and fear radiating from him, and squeezed his hand back in a subtle display of comfort. For weeks, Gorou insisted that you rest and avoid battle until you were fully recovered, much to your irritation; he knew that he was being ridiculous and overprotective, trying to prevent you from fighting for the resistance, but the general simply couldn’t handle seeing you get injured, and he would do anything he could to prevent it from happening again.

Diluc was plenty familiar with how the deep redness of blood marred his hands, staining the skin no matter how hard he scrubbed it away, and the sight of your blood was no different. Despite having scrubbed his hands until the skin was raw and pink, the ghost of your blood still glistened sickeningly in the shadowy, candlelit hallway that Diluc paced as he waited for the doctor to finish tending to you. The sun was beginning to rise over the Winery, and the Darknight Hero had not yet slept; just a few short hours ago he had found you among the remains of a hilichurl camp, barely conscious and with hot, dark blood soaking through your clothes. The events that followed had gone by in a whirlwind of panic; strong, gloved hands pressed against your wounds and familiar lips whispered pleas for you to stay with him, stay conscious, stay alive. But now, there was nothing left for the man to do but wait until he could see you; so, he paced. Back and forth, back and forth, right outside the only door that obstructed you from his view. Every so often he stopped, fists clenched tight, and fixed the wooden obstacle with a fierce glare, as though hoping it would simply shrivel up and move out of his way; when it finally swung open, Diluc steeled himself for bad news, but was elated to instead hear that you were stable. Letting out a deep breath, he sent the doctor away and stepped, slightly hesitantly, into the bedroom- the bedroom that you would not be leaving for at least two weeks, upon the doctor’s orders. It was, however, upon Diluc’s orders that you were treated like royalty for those two weeks, supplied with all of your favourite meals and all kinds of small gifts that Diluc insisted on buying for you, while a maid waited by your door at all times in case you needed anything. It was the least Diluc felt he could do, after he had failed to keep you safe from harm- a failure he would ensure never happened again.
