― ʚ author note ɞ ― got Lyney so I had to write something for him

You and Lyney were partners for 5 months the full city knew about that, and Lyney made it obvious you two were dating, he would always give you rainbow roses, call you "Mon ange" he also would give you a free v.i.p Lynette and Freminet knew you very well because Lyney always talking about you, this happened on one of his shows. Lynette and Lyney were performing and Lyney made his hat float in the air, he then hit the top of it and cards fell from it he walked around it and kept pationg the hat and cards were falling out when he stopped he put his hat back on and a dove came out of it flying away, then he stared doing more cards tricks he made 5 cards appear and they fell then he made 5 more and let go of them smiling and he spoke again with his charming voice

"But this isn't what you came for"

"Don't you think?"

He wasn't lying, you all seen these tricks before and you especially since you always watched his rehearsals after you started dating, you kept listening to your lovers voice his calming voice

"So it's time for something truly extraordinary"

"Don't you think?"

You and everyone were getting intrigued you didn't know which trick he's gone do and you were interested in the trick he's going to do, the only thing you knew is that Lynette gone be in it since she didn't appear earlier so you kept watching

"this one's a little tricky"

He put his hand together and opened them dove flying out of his hands It flew up to a water tank on which, Lynette was sitting on top of it and started waving, the crowd was clapping but continued listening to Lyney talking

"Using this water tank, I shall make my sister vanish completely"

"right before your very eyes"

Lynette finished waving and jumped into the tank she did a little twirl to show she's in actual water and waved again, everyone was clapping and so were you you saw this trick already but it still amazed you one way or another

"it's actually quite simple"

"she'll just turn into air bubbles and float right out of the top"

The tank then closed and locked Lynette looked like she was surprised and so were you, you saw this trick multiple times and the tank isn't supposed to lock itself Lynette tried to open the tank and Lyney then noticed that too

"oh no, I told them to check all the props carefully"

Lyney walked towards the tank and Lynette swam down a little bit

"With the lid on, even air can't escape... An amateur magician would be getting very nervous right around now"

Lyney then chuckled, and looked at the crowd and made a silly pose that made you laugh inside

"Luckily it's me on stage!. So let me show you what a true virtuoso can do".

Lyney then snapped his fingers and bubbles started showing up in the tank Lynette seems surprised until there's so much bubbles she needs to cover her face, then the only thing you can see in the tank are Lynette clothes everyone starts talking and clapping even the Hydro Archon seems surprised

"Lynette. Are you still there?"

"Don't go too far. We don't wanna use up all our magic"

"Hi, I'm back"

Lynette then starts walking on the stage and everyone is clapping and you are relieved that Lynette was okay and joined the crowd in clapping, after a while the twins bow. Then it was time for the second trick and Lyney needed an assistant that wasn't Lynette, he used the number generator and number 75 won the woman walked towards the box with the help of Lyney's assistant, then Lyney explained how the crowd needed to count down and entered the box

୨⎯ "Time skip" ⎯୧

It was time for Lyney to come out of the box so you stood up and looked at the box in the middle of the opera and it worked he came out

"Ta da!"

The light then went towards the other box and you were getting excited since you loved that trick, the box was about to open until the tank fell onto the box everyone was shocked and so well you, you turned around to look at Lyney and you noticed how he seems to be paralyzed you wanted to run up to him but Neuvillette stops you from doing so, you look at the stage and notice it was Lyney's other assistant that died not the girl after Neuvillette left and the others, you ran over to Lyney and hugged him tightly trying to calm him down a little bit, and it worked Lyney relaxed but was still scared especially since he knew he's about to be put in trial with his dear sister Lynette

"Lyney are you feeling a little bit better?"

"yeah... yeah can we go somewhere else please?"

"yeah of course let's go behind the stage"

You and Lyney went behind the stage and sat down, you were rubbing Lyney's back to calm him down at least a bit more than before, finally he relaxed

୨⎯ "Time skip" ⎯୧

It was the time for the trial you were standing between Lyney and Lynette willing to prove that they did no wrong, you knew they did nothing wrong you could see in Lyney's eyes the fear of what just happened you saw it all you could tell that man is innocent but will you think like that again after he lied...?

"tell me aren't you and Lynette actually from the House of the Hearth"

"huh?"

"that's irrelevant. Our identities have nothing to do with what happened"

Lyney's voice was breaking, he noticed your reaction, the reaction of betrayal...

He could tell you were about to cry he already saw the tears

"you honor may I request a break from the trial"

"Permission granted"

Before Lyney could speak you already left and went to sit on the stairs in the main entrance, thinking about what just happened you were confused or maybe angry with him? You honestly don't know, you knew Lyney for a while and felt so special with him he wouldn't lie to you would he? You were honestly confused did he ever love you? Or was it all an illusion created by the magician Lyney?

୨⎯ "With Lyney" ⎯୧

Lyney was sitting behind the stage on a couch crying his eyes out, he wanted to tell you he really did he was planning to but he was too late lady Furina already exposed him, and he could tell you hated him with a burning passion, after all the Fatui did take away you family from you... while he was crying Lynette was watching she felt bad she knew he loved you a lot, so she decided to look for you, she quietly left the backstage and started looking for you for Lyney's dear Mon ange, she would only do it for him and you nobody else, nobody else other than her brothers and you matter to her, Lynette was walking towards the main entrance and noticed you sitting on the stairs, and walked up to you if she's begin honest she also felt embarrassed about the situation like Lyney, you were her best friend and she didn't tell you either she sat next to you and spoke.

"[Y/N] I know you are mad at me and Lyney I fully understand that, I know we didn't tell you but we had our reasons Lyney loves you and he wanted to tell you he really did"

"then why didn't he tell me? I'm so confused right now since when and why?"

"It's not me who should tell you that please go talk to Lyney, he's behind the stage crying his eyes out you will understand everything later on, so please go and talk to him before the trial starts again"

And that's what you did you stood up and walked towards the backstage, you were still wondering if you were making the right choice do you actually want to go up to Lyney and talk? Or maybe you just want to end your relationship, you are very confused on what to do but you keep walking ready to be met with Lyney, still worried about what to do with you guys relationship, break up or stay together that's something you and Lyney need to talk about, eventually you arrive behind the stage and see Lyney crying his eyes out you decided to walk up to him and hug him to make him feel better, Lyney hugged you back and was crying even more

"I'm so sorry mon Ange, I'm really sorry"

"Lyney please tell me why"

"Where should I start I guess I start from that me and Lynette used to be homeless, it was hard for us to get food, from watching outside performances I learned how to do magic and got some money, eventually a noble man took me and Lynette in after he saw me and Lynette perform, one day when we were returning I didn't see Lynette anywhere and I asked the man... he said somebody got a liking to Lynette and send her over to him as a present, he had multiple young girls there and he was gonna hurt them and Lynette when I got there he was already dead, Lynette was saved by Arlecchino and I felt it was right to join them, after father saved us. I swear Mon Ange the fatui isn't trying to make the situation in Fountain worse, we want to help I swear on the archons and beyond.

"Alright I get it but why Didn't you tell me before?"

"I wanted to but lady Furina did it before me I'm sorry Mon Ange"

"I don't think I can forgive you yet, but I will try to, now let's go finish the trial, if you are indeed innocent we need to prove it, now let's go"

୨⎯ "Time skip" ⎯୧

You and Lyney won the trial, Lyney felt happy but felt something was missing before anything he felt you jumping onto him and kissing him, he felt so happy he returned the kiss holding you tightly

HOW IT’S TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM + NSFW BONUS

pairing: lyney x fem! reader

reblogs and comments are appreciated ♡

there isn't a moment between the two of you where you aren't openly flirting in an attempt to make the other blush; it's usually you who always gets the upper hand on your boyfriend though, who with a few insinuating words and stolen kisses ends up losing all his stream of thought.

however, when it comes to being romantic, passionate and creative you can't deny that Lyney is the best one. he loves to surprise you with new magic tricks to gift you with little trinkets, or take you on dates where you spend hours enjoying each other's presence and doing things that couples usually do.

there was always a massive compatibility between the two of you, so it's no longer strange for anyone that you know your boyfriend on the same level as his own twin sister.

that is, you’re capable to figure out that something is troubling him even before he approaches, lies in your lap — as he usually does every night — and vents about the weight he is carrying even if a fake smile still shines on his face.

in the past it’d be uncommon for Lyney to have a third person knowing him so well as he knows himself, but the trust he places in you is unquestionable and your opinion has, for some time now, become the most valuable to him.

not surprisingly, Lyney's love language is physical touch and words of affirmation, each given at specific times.

for example: every morning before he leaves for work he expects to hear an “i love you” back, and if he doesn’t, even if he's super late for his team meeting, Lyney will come back to his house and stare at you with a sulky look hoping that you'll return the words. and when you're out and about, don't be surprised if he suddenly hugs your waist or intertwines your fingers; he wants to feel your presence as best he can.

however, early on in your relationship Lyney warned you that while he’d do everything in his power to ensure your safety and happiness, your boyfriend also comes with enormous baggage.

it's not only his siblings who have now also entered your life but his background is full of pain and suffering. plus,!having his name attached to Fatui doesn't do Lyney and those associated with him or his family a good reputation; some citizens even whisper that they were just waiting for the moment he'll drop his mask and betray fontaine people.

but you could care less about the comments. so far, not only has your boyfriend proven to be a warm, caring, and friendly person to you or his siblings, but he is also to anyone else that gets to know him well.

and here we have one more point to list the reasons why this guy is so in love with you.

Lyney is extremely devoted and loyal — not in a submissive and dependent way, but where the respect between the two of you is mutual and the love he so easily developed for you in the very beginning blossoms a little more every day.

it’s extremely important to him that his partner gets along with his family. and not only do you have Lynette as a best friend and take Freminet under your wing, but you've had decent meetings with the “Father” as well. he feels like he won the lottery.

a curiosity is: you do not live together. yet. even if your boyfriend tells you every day to not waste your money on rent and move in with him, Lyney also understands that you like to have your own space and independence. plus you also don't want to put anyone in danger because of the spells you recite in the middle of the night, or trade Lynette's sacred tea for a frog-turn potion.

although it's also been very hypocritical of you because these last few months you've been sharing his bed more than going back to your own home.

and who can judge you when you have a boyfriend so attentive that every night before you go to sleep he makes you the best mint tea in Teyvat, confides sweet and genuine words in whispers so that only you can hear, and hugs you to the land of dreams?

yeah. maybe you were the only one to win the lottery.

nsfw bonus

on the streets you may look to be the most dominant one in your relationship, but it's when the bedroom doors close that the kind of power Lyney has over you is revealed.

your sassy words die and are replaced by deep sighs and moans of pleasure encouraged by his fingers or tongue that know exactly the right point to spur you on to your sweet joy.

Lyney is a man who would rather give pleasure than receive it, so he'll always make the moment about you and you alone. and honestly, for him there's nothing quite as rewarding as the view between your legs, where he finds your watery eyes and red, battered lips after he's given you the night's first orgasm — his own purple irises would be burning with insatiable hunger while your taste is still savored in his mouth.

long years of practice with card tricks had made him develop a monstrous skill with his fingers.

thin and delicate yet agile and peerless, Lyney had a frightening ease of taking you apart while teasing your clit. the electrifying sensations he provides you with just a few movements is indescribable, always so eager to draw out the most beautiful moans from you — a melodious sound he was obsessed with.

“so beautiful. you are splendid, my love. no, no, no. don't hide that pretty face of yours, my muse. i want to see all of you. i want to ruin you.”

it's disturbing and exciting this new persona he embodies when you have sex but you love it.

and you love how he worships your body like a holy temple. you love the burn kisses he gives you and you love the bruises you find the next day; you love how adventurous and unashamed he is when he fucks you hard against his dressing room door before a performance, leaving you weak-legged and heart racing; you love how he looks so drunk after eating you out on his office’s desk for what seemed to be for hours.

you love your very passionate man.
