#heizou x gn reader

[simonisferal]

i saw your kaveh and alhaitham angst and i wanna say: mwah, chef's kiss.

but i want to ask to do the same troupe/theme (idk what it's called basta) but with heizou and some other characters of your choice.

is that alright?

Their heart belongs to another — venti, xiao, kazuha, heizou, wanderer x gn! reader (part two!)

summary: they love you but don’t know you’re already in a relationship

warnings: alcohol (venti, kazuha), soft angst, heartbreak (xiao), yandere-ish themes (kazuha), jealousy (venti, heizou, wanderer)

notes: please ignore the fact it took me a year to write this / it was originally only heizou and kazuha but i wanted more things to write

venti always managed to put a smile on your face as you two drank the night away at angel shares.

with the two of you tipsy, diluc had to slowly give you less alcohol to intake. it was cute seeing venti so desperately cling onto the wine bottle as the red-haired male put it back behind the counter.

you laughed, it was more of a drunken giggle, and venti let go of the wine bottle in an instant. your voice might’ve cured all of the trauma and hurt he had to endure as a small wind spirit, the wind slowly breezing through the establishment even with no open windows.

diluc took your wine too, replacing it with cold water and setting it down in front of you. “drink it, love.”

you grumpily sigh, pouting but nevertheless taking the cup into your hands and taking small sips of the water. you were calm around him, venti noted.

but love?

“oh master diluc, you’re so kind to my poor y/n..!” venti smiles, wrapping his arm around your shoulder and diluc frowned. you hug him back and he swears you can feel his fast-beating heart.

venti’s heart might’ve stopped sooner than he had thought. “you mean, my y/n?” diluc continued to clean glasses but the aura definitely shifted. he knew what he was capable of yet he didn’t care.

venti’s glare matched diluc’s while you’re still oblivious to everything being said.

“aww, diluc! you’re so sweet.!” you whine. diluc gives you a soft smile that melts your heart and hardens venti’s.

he lets go of you, not bothering to try to hide his obvious annoyance towards your words but you two are drunk—he’ll definitely forget about this later (he won’t).

he didn't mind staying with you outdoors. whether it's on the rooftop of the inn or a beautiful stop you convinced him to take you, xiao always managed to love your sense of adventure. it often came with hassles, of course.

you were an adventurer, you lived on the road, never settling down like xiao so desperately wanted to with you (not that he'd ever tell you that). you also got hurt a lot, a vision can only heal so much, and without proper care, he was sure you were gonna die in teyvat's mother nature.

you had a scraped knee, it wasn’t as bloody as he had anticipated when the inn’s owner had told him you were gonna die but way to make him rush, no?

you were sitting on a rock as he teleported right next to you. his eyebrows were furrowed and his lips were pressed into a thin line. he was worried.

aether was right in front of you, kneeling, which surprised the adepti. his gloves were off and his hands tended to your injured knee. xiao wished he could take his own gloves off, hold your hand as tightly as you hold his, not worried about his karmic debt going to you and eating you alive.

you wince and the blond in front of you rubbed your other knee, “hey, it’s okay. it was a simple scratch, nothing more.” he bandaged your injury and kissed it, like a mother would with her child’s ‘booboo’.

xiao looked at him. if you asked anyone who didn’t know him how he looked like at the moment, they’d tell you anger, disgust, contempt, or something in the lines of hate. they weren’t wrong.

his heart drops even further to his feet when you pulled up aether to his feet so he loomed over your sitting figure and kissed his cheek. “thanks, cutie.”

ah.

he helps you stand up from the rock and gives you over to aether. his hands, his gloved hands, settle on your shoulder and your waist, like a lingering hope that it was a simple tradition that humans did as a sign of appreciation. but he knew it wasn’t that.

he lets go of you, his hands in place as you hug aether. something so simple but so endearing made him sad. he’s giving you other to someone else. someone who could travel with you and protect you when you’re in need. xiao still has to help the people of liyue.

“i’ll be leaving now.”

alongside his fluttering and well-mannered words, he really liked you. kazuha stays up at night, looking up at the stars, wondering if you got home alright or if you ate something for dinner last night and such. he cared about you just like he would care about others but something seems off.

he'd pack your lunchs occasionally, taking his sweet and precious time to write a elegant note of how much you mean to him as well as delicious food! you must've been blind or uninterested to not notice his lovesick behavior.

on the crux, you and kazuha were simply talking the night away with a little drinking on the side. he clung to your shoulder as he slurred his speech, letting out some hums and incoherent hymns. it was cute, like your beloved thoma back in inazuma.

”you know… you remind me of home.” you say. kazuha looks up to look at you. the wind blows softly, brushing your hair in your face and he couldn’t help but fall in love with you more.

”may i ask why?” he manages to say clearly, his breath soft on your neck. you clear his thoughts, his past life in inazuma didn’t matter as long as he was held by you.

”the food you make, the lines you say, your smile…” kazuha swears he has heart in his eyes. your calm and collective words makes the samurai’s heart beat faster than before, his face almost as red as the simple strand in his hair.

“it reminds me of my boyfriend, thoma.” kazuha ignores whatever you said and clings closer to you.

”that’s encouraging to hear.” he mumbles. he still has a soft smile on his face. he’s not gonna let go of you now. he won’t let you go to inazuma. you can’t be in that wretched place, not the place that hurt him so much as an adolescent. you can’t possibly be happy there, your words have a different meaning, he gaslights himself.

“i’ll make you some breakfast in the morning if you wish.”

”that’d be nice.”

heizou enjoyed the time you two spend together. whether it’s on a simple date or a investigation he personally made, seeing you, being near you was all he needed to have a good day.

luckily for him, he had a day off today! kujou sara finally let him speed-run his work yesterday to get today off.

( kujou sara narrowed her eyes at the detective’s bold request. “you’re not plotting anything, right, shikanoin?”

heizou grinned. “of course not, sara! can’t a man catch a break?” he winked. kujou sara still had a face of suspicion but sighed after heizou didn’t stand down or retract his statement.

”i’ll allow it. make sure your work is tidy and you will have tomorrow off. just don’t do anything stupid during that time.”)

he met up with you, his signature smile on his face as he prodded right beside you. “hey, partner! didn’t expect to see you here.” that’s a lie. he may or may not track your schedule from time to time.

you turn, a bunch of sauce on covered your mouth. you were always a messy eater but those stains looked quick and rushed. you usually ate slowly, so you must be with someone—

”oh hey compadre!” that’s who.

itto only smiled as the smaller male looked up at him. you were with him, but why? did the oni invite you to eat? most likely, but—again, why? how did he know you, how did you know him; those are the answers he needed.

“if it isn’t mr. arataki! how’s your day?” heizou didn’t really care about the answer, as rude as it sounds. he just wanted to spend his day off with his beloved y/n but teyvat is so cruel.

”it’s been awesome! i woke up and then—“ itto’s voice was drowned out by his thoughts. he must be missing something, but what? he looked back at you, maybe you had a clue.

you watched itto intently, focused on his words with a smile. you two were close, but how close? collages, friends, besties? you chuckled at itto’s jokes, or what heizou assumed was a joke (he’s not paying attention to the oni, just you. only you).

“—and then i decided to invite my beautiful lover out to eat! and here we are!”

ding, ding, ding! there’s the answer! you two were—

…lovers?

he pressed his lips together before covering up his shocked face with a smile. “my, my, that sounded like a hell of a day! i’ll leave you two love-birds to it; don’t wanna get any tooth-rotting cavities from you two!” he laughed and you laughed with him.

heizou walked away with a smile and waved. you two waved back and he turned.

he never wished to be another person but maybe today is a good day to start.

the aranaras always seemed to follow the poor wanderer. whether he was carrying out a task from lesser lord kusanali or taking a simple stroll.

it was a tiring thing, making sure none of the aranara got hurt in the mission or ate anything suspiciously purple or blue. luckily you managed to keep them entertain while wanderer fought anything.

you let the small creatures play with your hair and hands, tugging them to either play with you or to divert your attention to them. “y/n-nara! look at hat-nara!”

he sat still on a log as a group of aranara’s sat on his lap and hat. his eyes were closed and you didn’t know if he was simply letting them do as they pleased or was asleep. you decided it was the former and just smiled. it was a cute thing, indeed.

what you two didn’t know is that they were hiding. hiding from the fungi that wanderer failed to detect and hunt down (he says that sounds too animalistic, but he basically locks his eyes on the target and doesn’t stop ‘till they’re eliminated). an aranara stepped into your arms, trembling.

“wanderer?” you speak, impatiently and anxious. he let out a small hum, not bothering to open his eyes. “you missed one.”

“missed one wha—“

before he could finish his sentence, the fungi rushed towards you. it was obviously angry, wanderer had just killed his entire fungi family! he didn’t even have time to drop the aranaras on him, let alone prepare to send an anemo-fueled blow to the monster before a green arrow hit it straight in its chest, followed by three little seedlings exterminating the fungi.

you were cuddled up with an aranara or two, trying to protect them before a hand found itself on your shoulder.

“you shouldn’t leave your guard down in a forest, you lummox; you’ll get yourself killed.” tighnari!

you instantly relax hearing his voice and you let go of the protected aranaras to hug him. you nuzzle your cheek on his own, tighnari’s ears rolling back and his eyebrows furrowing. “i thought i was a goner! thank you ‘nari sosososo so much!”

”yeah yeah, just make sure next time you check the perimeter of your resting place.” he patted your back twice before looking forward to the hatted fellow.

“wanderer. i saw your work on the fungi, i’m impressed but think strategically next time.” wanderer’s eyebrows were furrowed and his hands felt clammy. his eyes, filled with panic were replaced with a glare. who did this guy think he was?

“so you were following us?” he huffed and crossed his arms. the aranaras dispersed, leaving the three of you alone.

tighnari’s tail swirled around your waist as you continued to hug him for dramatic effect. he snarled, “i was doing a patrol when i noticed the fungi’s elemental trail. i knew y/n was near so i followed it for their safety.”

wanderer huffed again. it was clear he didn’t believe him but how did the fennec fox know them? he let out a small ‘right’ before diverting his attention to you.

you had a big smile on your face. “aww, tighnari! you care about me?” tighnari looks away but it’s obvious he did. it rubbed wanderer the wrong way.

“of course i do. you forget you’re my mate.”

wow.

wanderer felt his fake porcelain heart break. he was actually that stupid to fall in love with a mortal. he cursed himself, he swore he’d never do such a thing again, that he’d never love again, but he did.

what a stupid thing.

Not Even Death Could Make Us Part

(Pairing): Yan!Heizou x gn!reader

(Synopsis): Your boyfriend has come back as a ghost after being murdered, but after he suggested an idea that would bring you two closer it shows his true colors

(Tags/Warnings): MDNI, DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT Character and reader’s death, murder attempts, strangulation, angst, mentions of suicide, use of (y/n), (if i missed anything lmk)

(Word Count): 2.3k

(A/N): This has been in the drafts for about a year, so I hope y’all enjoy this

Rain drops repeatedly hitting the white flowers on the casket is the only thing your attention is on, the only reason is that if you brought your attention somewhere else you would be reminded that you’re standing in front of your boyfriend casket

He wasn’t taken by something like illness or a fatal car accident, no he died because the crook he arrested had someone else kill him as either an act of revenge or to make sure he didn’t testify in court

When you first heard of it you wanted it to be a nightmare that you wake up from and see him breathing right besides you, but no matter how much you wanted his to be an awful dream you’re now here at his funeral

It did help that when the news first broke friends and family offered their condolences.

You didn’t want people’s condolences, their condolences won’t bring your boyfriend back!

You hated how they all looked at you with their pitying looks, if you could you would crawl up in the casket with him. But you know you can’t do that so you make the long trek from the cemetery back to the apartment you used to share with Heizou

Opening the door to the apartment that now only you inhabit, you’re immediately greeted with various framed pictures of the two of you. Many of them taken during dates, holidays, and vacations all of them containing his carefree smile, the same smile you fell in love with. Now only it’s staring back at you from a paper with ink on it, serving as a cruel reminder that he’s gone

You take the framed pictures and put the faced down along with taking down the ones on the walls, maybe one day you’ll be able to put them back up, but now it’s too painful to even look at them

After a full week isolating yourself in the empty apartment you decided it’s time for you to go back to work. You already used up your bereavement days, but it’s a good reason to be out of the house and occupy your mind with something other than Heizou, at this point you’re starting to think the isolation and grief is starting to get to you. When you would walk out into the living room you would find the pictures you took down back in their original places, at first you came to the conclusion that you thought of taking them down but didn’t. That wasn’t until you found the pictures back up knowing that you took them down, not to mention you’ve begun to hear a voice

Heizou’s voice

Going back to work might be what’s best for you, maybe interacting with people will be good for your mental health instead of wallowing in your own misery

Your first day back was good everyone made you feel a bit better, they made you laugh and told you the latest gossip you missed while you were gone

It felt like everything was back to normal, but as you made your way to your apartment you knew that you won’t have someone to tell what happened at work. Maybe you can call a friend and talk to them?

Yeah you think you can do that

Opening the door the apartment that now only you inhabit, you’re greeted with the sight of your deceased boyfriend, as if he had never left

Wearing the same carefree smile he always had

This can’t be real. You saw his body at the morgue and at the funeral. This has to be the grief induced hallucination you desperately tried to avoid

“Baby, you can see me!” He, the thing that looks like your dead boyfriend exclaimed cheerfully

You stepped back in disbelief until you fell on your butt, this has to be all in your head. You gotta call someone to come over and to tell you it’s a hallucination

“I know it’s hard for you to process all of this, but you gotta believe that it’s me.” He crouched down and held your hand, void of the warmth you once knew instead replaced with coldness. “I’ve been watching you for weeks thinking I was dead, without a way to comfort you or make myself known to you-”

“No, you’re dead.” You state more to yourself than to the apparition

“I-I know I’m dead, but I’m not a figment of your imagination. Look!” He says as he walks over and lifts up a coffee mug you used this morning

Heizou picks up the mug and walks towards you before setting it in your hand

The mug felt ice cold in the areas he touched and weighed a ton in your hands. Looking up at your boyfriend you felt tears form in your eyes

“Heizou…?!”

“Baby.”

You dropped the mug and leap into his arms only for you to harshly land on the floor. You turned towards your boyfriend who had a horrified expression on his face.

It didn’t matter as long as your boyfriend is back

Living with a ghost isn’t so bad, it’s like having a secret roommate. It’s like everything is back to the way it was before. You two would watch your favorite shows, sang together while cooking dinner, and playing your beloved card games

But there are times where you’re reminded just how different the two of you are. You can’t feel his warmth, every time you reach out to touch him your hand just goes right through him, you have to be mindful not to mention him in front of friends since they can’t see him and you don’t want them to think you’ve lost it. You wouldn’t blame them, the whole concept is crazy even for you

It’s something you have to adjust to

Like you can’t reach over and touch Heizou anymore, no more surprise hugs or good night kisses. However he can touch you only if he concentrates hard enough

It seemed like he caught onto your internal dilemma, it doesn’t surprise you he was a famous detective when he was alive so it’s no use trying to hide anything from him

“(Y/n), is something bothering you. You know you can tell me.” Heizou said as he sat right next to you on the couch

“It’s hard adjusting to...” You replied while gesturing to him, “this. You being a ghost, don’t get me wrong I’m very happy that I get to see you again, but I feel that we’re just too different now. I can’t hold you in my arms like I used to, I have to be careful not to mention you in front of friends or else they’ll think I’m crazy. And sometimes I think so too.” The last part coming out broken in between sobs and tears begin to form in your eyes. “If only there’s a way for things to be how they used to be.”

As tears clouded your vision you missed the expression on Heizou’s face, it was the same expression he would make when he came up an idea

“You love me, right?” He asked as he reached out and wiped away your tears with his cold hands

“Yes, of course.”

“You would do anything for me?”

“Y-yes, Heizou where are you taking this?”

“I just wanted to know before I told you my idea.”

“If I can be with you again like before then yes.”

“Would you die for me?” Your heart stopped and you got up from your place on the couch, effectively getting away from the redhead. “Think about it, this way we can be together. We can finally feel each other’s touch again, we can-”

“Do you know what you’re asking of me? You’re asking me to take my own life for the small chance that I return as a ghost.”

“Yes, but it’s the only way we can-”

“We aren’t taking about this anymore, you got that?” You rubbed your temples to soothe the oncoming headache you feel approaching. “I’m going to bed and don’t come into the bedroom!” You said as you stormed into the room that was noticeably much warmer than the living room

The next day you went to work, last night’s argument replaying in the back of your mind, you even skipped making yourself some breakfast instead opting to buy something cheap on the way to work

You were so preoccupied with your task you didn’t notice your friend was standing next to you until she tapped your shoulder

“(Y/n) are you feeling okay by any chance?” Ganyu asked, her voice laced with concern

“Y-yeah, I’m fine. Why did you ask?”

“Today you came in a much more sour mood then normal and you look a bit unwell.”

“I’m fine, I just haven’t been eating well since the funeral.” You lied

“Do you want to come over to my place, I can make you a nice nutritious meal.”

“I don’t know if I can make it. I’m not feeling all that wel-” You begin to slur your words

“(Y/n)? Are you sure? You look like you’re about to pass out-”

Ganyu’s words slowly faded oou as your world turned black

Coming to you find yourself staring up at a pristine ceiling and in a hospital bed. Before you could come to your senses you hear two voices talking, the soft voice of Ganyu and another voice

You turned your head to see Ganyu talking to a man with green hair and glasses, Ganyu turns her head towards you and a look of relief washes over her soft features

“Oh my archons, thank goodness you woke up!” Ganyu stood up and rushed over to your bed

“W-what happened…” You asked

The doctor, who you learned his name is Dr. Baizhu, explained everything. How you fainted during work and Ganyu was the one who called for help and also the potential cause of your sudden fainting spell

“Carbon monoxide?!” You repeated Dr. Baizhu’s words in disbelief

“Yes, and if hadn’t fainted when you did you would’ve died.” Dr. Baizhu explained

“But how is that possible? I have a detector at home, it would have alerted me if there was any of it in the air!” You desperately tried to explain

You didn’t know how this would happen until it dawned on you

Finally after one day you were discharged from the hospital, there was only one thing on your mind, confronting the ghost in your home

“Heizou!” You yelled as you entered the apartment and walked into the living room, forgetting to lock the front door

“What’s up, baby? Did you know how worried I was when you didn’t come home?” Heizou asked after he fazed into existence in front of you

“I know you fucked with my detector!”

“Baby-”

“I just got it checked out, there should be no reason for it to already be fucked up unless you did something to it!”

“I only did it so we can be together!”

“Slowly killing me isn’t the way to do it! I still want to live my life, go places and meet new people-”

“So you can leave me?”

“Not like that Heizou, do not twist my words!”

“How else am I supposed to interpret that! You said you missed holding me, what stops me from thinking that you want someone who is alive like you!”

Your words get stuck in your mouth as you start to get scared of your boyfriend

“I can’t stand the thought of someone else having you, you know how many lives I’ve ruined just to be with you!?”

“Heizou, what are you talking about?”

“Remember your old partner and how they got arrested for money laundering? That was me, I planted evidence so they can be arrested.”

“Why did you do that?” You whimpered out

“So I can be with you, I saw how they were treating you. Calling you the most vile names.”

“H-how did you know that? They would only do that in private. Were you spying on me?”

“It was for us to be together! But now that I’m like this, I can’t love you how I want to anymore!” Heizou had a crazed look in his eyes

“Get the hell away from me! God can’t believe I stayed with your crazy ass, I’m leaving!” You began to walk towards the door

“No. Nooo!!!” He shrieked as he pushed you down to the floor. “No! You’re not leaving me, I won’t let you!” He continued as his hands began to put pressure on your neck

You desperately begin to struggle against the ghost even flailing your arms in an attempt to escape, but your hands just fazed through his nonexistent body. In a futile attempt stop the ghost of your boyfriend from choking you further

Is this how you were going to die?

At the hands of the ghost of your former boyfriend?

You look up to see the face of your boyfriend one last time and see the crazed look he has. Is this how you die?

Your vision finally fades into darkness

Heizou released his grip from your now bruised neck

“Now get up.” Heizou demanded

You laid there unmoving

“Get up! You got to get up!” Heizou began to panic. “Please get up! You can’t leave me!”

Heizou pleaded for your spirit to appear before him and began shaking your lifeless body. He didn’t know how long he’s been at this, but stopped when he heard a knock at the door

“(Y/n)?” The familiar voice of Ganyu called out from behind your apartment door. “You didn’t come to work today and didn’t return my calls so I got worried.”

Reaching up to knock on the door again it parts slightly, anxiety now building up in her she slowly pushed open the door revealing your lifeless corpse on the floor

morning notes they’ve left for you

ft: kazuha, xiao, heizou, ayaka

style: fluff

notes: gn!reader, not proofread, lowercase intended, heizou being heizou, heizou’s portion is a little hard to read on dark mode,,

reblogs are appreciated!

kaedehara kazuha

‘good morning my lovely dove, i hope you had a peaceful and undisturbed slumber. by the time you found this note i’ve went out to fish. that reason being i’ve considered to have you try my specialty; grilled fish. so i hope the thought satisfies your palette. and worry not, i’ll be back home as soon as possible once i’ve finished. and it’ll be my pleasure to teach you how to cook it as well, if you wish. but for now, rest easy and wait for my arrival.’

adeptus xiao

‘morning. i’ve left this note here to let you know that my duties have occupied me for some time. demons are becoming more active recently, so i’ve went to deal them while you were asleep. you needn’t worry about coming across one of those pests should you go out. but, if you have any plans in regards to going out, speak my name. i will accompany you to wherever you need to go.’

shikanoin heizou

‘rise and shine partner! i hope you’ve rested well. now, i know you just woke up without me by your side but don’t panic! the tenryou commission called me in for yet another case. it seems as if they don’t have enough brainpower to manage on their own, huh? a pity isn’t it? well, not to worry, because once i’ve dealt with the matter at hand, let’s say we go to that escape room i’ve mentioned a while back.‘

kamisato ayaka

‘good morning my dear. next to this note, i’ve prepared breakfast for you before i left to attend an important meeting. i apologize for not letting you know beforehand because i received word at around the time you were still sleeping, and i wished to not disturb your relaxed state. so to make it up to you, i’ve cooked your favorite! i’ve experimented with it as i’m not familiar with it, so it may not taste exactly like the one you told me about. but either way, i hope you still find this dish fitting to your tastes.’

an: you guys like this new style? because i most certainly do! (aha totally not an excuse for me to mess around with the gradient text a lovely mutual of mine taught me how to do it) but i don’t feel like running back to my older works and reformatting them, so this is completely brand new. also, i was planning to write for more characters but i got a little scatterbrained and can only do four.. though, i hope you enjoyed this regardless, and i’m off to sleep <3

     “Late night conversations” Barista!Heizou & Gn!Reader

Writing Practice

Prompt 1: Coffee shop Au meeting.

The sun disappeared beneath the depths as far as you could see. You watched as the cold night air set in around you. The time at university today is causing aching stress in your shoulders as you trudge along the streets tired. The world clouds cover the people within the streets and their issues. Sounds intermix as the shadows of the people fade in out.

“I’m so tired.” You mumble, reaching a stoplight. Shadows of people filled the area next to you and across the pathways. You heave out a sigh, clutching your own arm. Crowds of people are provoking the negative emotions plaguing your half-awake mind.

“How irritating.” You mumble, catching the attention of someone next to you. Snapping your neck up, you see other people staring at you now, as irritated as yourself. Her words sounding suppressed as her hands began to move almost violently. You slowly blink at her actions as she continues going on a rant you assume about something before dropping her hands to her sides. When the light turned green, you went to cross when she shoved into you before passing quickly. You watch her before passing along your way as well.

“What to eat for dinner?” You check the time on your phone, as the time appeared later than you thought it to be. Your stomach growled as you hurried down the streets trying to find a familiar restaurant that you ordered from. Each restaurant that you went to normally was busier around this time than usual. You tried waiting, only for your stomach to growl more incessantly.

An establishment that you had never seen before popped up in the corner of your eye. Turning, you see a red-haired boy cleaning the windows slowly. There seemed to be a lack of people in the restaurant, with him seemingly being the only member who was working at this time. Your eyes look around the new place as you stop on the sidewalk.  

The interior and the colors within give you a sense of comfort. Your eyes move to look over to the next section when his eyes stop and meet yours. He stares at your figure for a moment before looking at you with a small smile. You nod in greeting as he walks away from the window. 

Chagall Café (home famous inazuman coffee)

 “This looks so cute.” You bend forward, looking at a certain item on the menu. You were going to continue looking until your stomach growled again.

 Ah, yes, dinner.

 You make your way into the café where the red head is working. The bell rings as the door closes behind you. Soft jazz music fills the air as you make your way to the counter. The red head was nowhere to be seen, probably cleaning something. You wait, staying glued to the counter.

“This place is pretty.” You look at the walls painted with various Inazuman-style pages of writing and pictures taken from old Kameras. Some photos were of other employees with their names written on the wall. A purple haired woman, a white haired male, and a blue haired male appeared on the wall, along with their names.

 One of the paintings catches your eye as you approach it, leaning your face in as close as you can. The painting was that of a male who look nervous, glancing at his surroundings. The dark surroundings of him as he moved forward through his surroundings. 

“This one is a bit strange.”

“Well, it’s not if you understand it.” An unfamiliar male’s voice comes close to your ear. Turning, you see the red head from last time. His green eyes twinkling as he wore a look of amusement. Your heart pounded in your chest as the red head appeared next to you. Your teeth grit as you face his green eyes, which twinkled as he wore a look of amusement.

Does he get paid to do this?

Your fear of the sudden surprise from the barista changed into annoyance. The red head let out a small laugh as he holds his hands up in a “I surrender” pose. At a closer glance, you were able to notice things clearer about him. His name, for example, was on the tag that you could see, with his hair and eyes prominently standing out to you as you examined him further. His red hair seemed natural, as the color looked different from the dyes you would see in your workplace have. Which is rare around town, as most weren’t natural red heads like he is. His green eyes represent his demeanor. Those old novels always portray people with green eyes or color schemes as mischievous or tricksters.

 You wonder if he was like those characters with the ridiculous situations those close to him would wind up in.

“Hello, customer?” His playful voice turning into concern as he snapped in front of your face. His words regaining your attention as you met his eyes once more. He let out a small sigh, stepping back from you slightly. His eyes, looking at you seriously, were the mischief that he had when he spooked you.

“Ah, my apologies.” He shakes his head. 

“No, I apologize for scaring you like that.” He moves to go back to behind the counter. 

“Please take your time and let me know when you’re ready.” His voice goes back to a customer service tone as he takes his post again. He looks at you before looking around the room.

You look over the menu again before placing your order from the items you saw on the menu earlier. 

"Oh, the deep fried dish? That’s my favorite, actually.” 

“It’s just once in awhile, not often.” Heizou nods, taking the menu from you,going in the back to take care of the order. You take your seat, pulling out your phone.

You lean against your hand as you scroll through Instagram. A few dog videos pop up, making you laugh. A video of a green-haired girl and a black cat is what you landed on. The black cat was running away from the girl recording until he jumped out and opened the window. The girls screamed until she saw the cat landing perfectly fine, looking up at her blankly.

“What a strange cat.” You go through the comments, laughing at a few of them.

“Her meow meow?” You giggle at a nickname that her fandom had given the cat. The cat seemed grumpy and almost impossible to handle. How did that girl handle him? You scroll through a few more videos of her fyp.

As the girl and her cat were placing your order on the table, you became distracted. A plate of food was placed instead of a bag. You look up confusedly before checking the time.

It was almost midnight; why would he hand you a dish?

“Take your time; I can’t lock up until the last customer leaves.” You let out a small oh before digging into the food you ordered.

“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know.” He gives a small smile before walking off again. You heard a few things moving in the kitchen as you focused on your food. You kind of feel bad; the restaurant should be closed, but he allowed you to stay and eat so that he wouldn't get fired. You quickly dove into the food so that he could go home. Silence encompassed the room as you quickly digested the food, with it being late didn’t surprise you that much.

“Can I sit with you?” You choke on a piece of food as he appeared again besides you. You start choking as he pats you on the back until you were able to dislodge the food. 

“Man alive, this is the second time you did this.” He hands you the water, watching as you drank it checking for any other choking hazards. He took a seat across from you once he saw the symptoms calm down. The redhead’s eyes stared down at the table as he broke composure and leaned his arm against the table, propping up his head.

“It’s been a long day.” His green eyes hid behind his eyelids as he appeared to try and get his thoughts together. 

“Too many customers?” 

“Well no. We had this one customer who kept yelling at a staff member of ours, calling her a chicken. She almost beat his ass; I had to step in.” He sighs, having a deadpan look.

“Is he a regular?” He shakes his head, opening his mouth as if he were going to say something, before leaning against the table. You could almost imagine how hectic it was and how that man was most likely banned from the restaurant.

“How about you? You seemed to be more tired than me when you came in." He stares at you, waiting for an answer. His green eyes stare you down, giving his full attention to you. You suddenly feel shy as you fiddle with your hands.

“I have an office job; they had me work a shift that wasn’t mine.” You sigh, remembering how tired you were when you locked up. You lead him onto the table, taking in a deep breath. 

“An office job, huh? It sounds like you’re used to having a co worker call out sick so that you can pick up their work.” 

“Tell me about it.” You let out a groan, rolling your eyes. That coworker was higher up in the office than you and had the privilege of taking long vacations to live their life without restraint. This only created more work for you, division, and alcoholism problems for some. “They aren’t even there half the time. Last time I checked, they were in Mondstadt kicking it up with the locals.” The more you talked about them, the tighter you gripped the utensils.  

“If you stress so much, your heart might give out.” He removes the plate from your hands and gets up from the table with it. 

“Thank you.” You left the change on the counter, making your way out of the restaurant, not wanting him to go home later than you had already wasted his time. A bit rejuvenated, you make your way down the street to the train station.

You put your hands in your pocket as you wait for the station with a chill running down your spine from the cold night wind. You let out a small sigh as you put your hands into your jacket pocket while waiting for the train. You hate the cold but also the hot, so you couldn’t really prefer either weather. A piece of paper that you don’t remember was in your pocket as you waited. 

Pulling it out, you see a paper with handwriting you haven’t seen.

— with this kiss i pledge my love and not because i forgot the valentine gift for you

fandom. genshin impact

pairing. heizou x gn!reader

content warnings. heizou is a flirt but not a romantic person lies he is very romantic in the end, open ending

notes. posting this before i dip for the rest of the week. my first heizou work and part of the valentines writing event of the yae network! please keep in mind that i didn’t do his hangout, so it was a bit difficult for me to write this ;-; hope you all still like it :) also pspspsps 👀 new (banner) layout for works 🤭 ty @keqism for proofreading this!!

Shikanoin Heizou isn’t a romantic person. Flirty, yes of course, he loves to tease you, make you flustered with the sweetest words, but a true romantic?

No, Heizou isn’t one for romance, yet he still loves you with all his heart. He just shows it differently and that’s fine. After all, you love Heizou exactly because of this. But you also love receiving gifts—who wouldn’t? Not that you expected gifts from your boyfriend everyday, it was already a gift to you when he came home early from his work.

Shikanoin Heizou is a busy man, his time and love are the biggest gifts to you. And still you were a bit disappointed, when he came home empty handed on one specific day in February. No flowers, no chocolate, no wrapped gift. Just a tired smile on his face, his hair a little more windswept than usual and dirt on his clothes. You don’t show your disappointment, because you knew- you knew Heizou wasn’t a romantic boyfriend and there was no need for it. He already loved you so much, and this silly day wasn’t needed for the two of you.

But then you see the couples strolling around in the city while you do the last touches on today’s meal. Watching from the window in your kitchen, your movements slow down until you stop. You don’t see it then, but there’s a wistful smile on your face, almost sad and it breaks Heizou’s heart. He curses himself. Just because he isn’t a romantic person, it doesn’t mean you aren’t one either. What if you wanted to go on a date with him? One that was an official one, with him asking you out, planning the whole date and sweeping you off your feet for the rest of the day.

You may have agreed to his opinion that this day is stupid and totally unnecessary, but maybe you wished for a Valentine’s date, with chocolate and a kiss. He watches how you sigh and then go back to putting the food on plates.

“Let me,” he says and presses a kiss on your hairline. “It’s only fair I finish this up, darling mine.” You duck your head and blush, even after all those years of being his partner.

The two of you eat in peaceful silence, as you often do after a tiring day. And then… then Heizou asks you to let him clean up the kitchen, the least thing he can do after forgetting to get you a gift, even a small one. You don’t protest, fully knowing that he’s a stubborn man and so you let him, nursing a hot cup of tea and watch how he cleans up the kitchen. It warms your heart, seeing him like this, in the home you share, simply just here.

And when he’s finally done, he turns to you with a soft smile, eyes full with love and takes both of your hands in his. Pressing kisses on them, he kneels in front of you, all while you watch him with wide eyes.

“I don’t have a physical gift for you today, love, I can only show you how much I love you. You are a gift to me, the only one who owns my heart,” he murmurs and presses one last, long kiss on your fingertips. “And with this kiss, I pledge my love and life to you, be it in hard or easy times, when we’re alone or together. Will you accept my gift, darling mine?”

鹿野院平蔵 : ❝can i kiss you?❞ ft. shikanoin heizou

heizou thinks he's losing it. when he takes a look at you and his brain processes the words coming out of his own mouth.

nothing but adoration fills his eyes, drunken by the sight of you just a few breaths away, hypnotized by the soft movement of your eyes going from his lips to his gaze, following his gestures in a trance-like behavior.

he thinks he's floating above clouds, dancing with stars and traveling across globes when his lips finally touch yours, it takes a moment for him to process the tenderness in which you closed the distance in between and come back to his senses to close his eyes. when he does he sighs. you smile in the middle of it. heizou thinks he might never want to pull away.

shyly, his hand finds its way to your neck making it much more intimate in the way his touch sends shivers down your spine, creating a contrast of sensations as you melt in his arms and chills run through your skin. but as quickly as the moment came, it was gone. trying to prolong the feeling, he keeps his eyes closed while pulling away, you see how bright a fire can burn the most delicate things when he opens them, and you also feel the comforting breeze that resonates with his vision's faint glow.

there was no other way to go about how overwhelmed his feelings for you made him feel, he couldn't stop himself from asking the question nor could he stop himself from not wanting to let go of your hands after the kiss. he smiles at you so sweetly that you feel your cheeks going warm against the intensity of his gaze.

❝i think you should ask me again.❞

Favorite kiss from you Pt2 ♥ (genshin x gender neutral reader)

AAAAAAA sorry for leaving you guys ,school just started and it’s going terrible so I’m just writing this now

Characters: Heizou ,Zhongli and Venti

Tw :mentions of death in Zhongli’s part ,but not as in as “someone dies” as in a death is “unstoppable“ way

but I do list where it is and where it stops

Pt1 :Amber and kaeya(won’t link because it gets rid of all activity for some reason)

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Heizou

This man loves any kiss from you ,but LISTEN ,if you go from kissing his neck to moving slowly to his chin and when your also calling him pet names?! It make him go hijhkhkjojmhljkhlhjjlhknlhjhohjljkjl ,ok? As in every time you do it ,he feels like he ascended to Celestia.

Scenario

You decided to go to your lovely boyfriend/husband work place ,because it was 9:45 pm and he should’ve already been home ,but you understand he might just be really busy with work ,but he should go to sleep if he doesn’t want to end up being so tired that he forgets how to be a detective

You hear a frustrated groan so you slowly open the door just a bit to peek ,to find a tired Heizou with bags under his eyes and writing scribbles on his notes

“Heizou? (Preferred pet name) ….. is everything ok?”

Heizou jumped a bit at your accidental jump scare

“Hm! Oh (____) it’s you ,sorry my partner” Heizou apologised

“It’s ok ,also please can you come home it’s nearly 10pm ,and I know how frustrating it is to work well being sleep deprived.”

“Ok ok my partner ,I will come home ,just let me finish this case first!”

You sigh then go behind him ,you put your head on his neck and try to pick him up

“Hmf! Love I said I was coming home ,let me just first finish this!”

“Nope ,it’s 10pm you’re coming home and sleeping with me”

“Partner ,please ,I have to really get my work done” pleaded Heizou

“Hmf you can do that tomorrow”

“(____) please-“ said Heizou before you just took him into your arms and started walking home

the staff were shocked to see a flustered Heizou being carried by a tired lover ,they thought it was probably best to ignore it

once you both finally get home to open the door to your house then to your shared bed ,you put Heizou down on and started blasting him with cuddles ,before you knew it

,you were blasting him with kisses starting at his collarbone going to his chin

As much as Heizou wished he could continue this for eternity ,but him being so sleepy lead him to falling asleep himself in the middle of this

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Zhongli

Had to give a hard thought on this but I think he would absolutely love a moment where you guys are in a position where you’re under his chin giving him peck kisses on his chest ,he loves it because you too are just so close in that position and-hyjihkihkjbknkhkgkkvk-

Scenario

Zhongli was sitting on Mt.Tianheng looking at all of Liyue ,with you ,his dear lover sitting next to him. If you had to admit ,it was a outstanding site and your so glad you’re experiencing this with your boyfriend/husband

He asked Director Hu if he could have a day off ,which in return probably told him one of those “Ok but don’t die hehe ” jokes ,as much as you like her energetic personality you cannot lie if you didn’t say she freaked you out the first time you met her

Tw :mentions of death (but not as in as “someone dies” as in a death is “unstoppable“ way)

——————————————————————

which now thinking about it ,the first time meeting her was on your first date with Zhongli ,she probably spotted Zhongli and went straight into his dictation

And as much as Zhongli does like that she understands that death is only natural and bond to happen ,but unlike Hu ,he realises that some people are more sensitive to the topic and doesn’t like when she makes others uncomfortable with it

so when he asks her to please stop she seems shocked until she realises that he is on a date and you’re heavily uncomfortable now so she apologised and left well Zhongli checked if you’re ok

——————————————————————-

end of Tw

the 2 of you laugh at the memory as you both start to lay down on the picnic blanket as both of you were done with your food

When he pulls you into a hug well planting a kiss on your forehead ,which made you blush pretty lightly

as you get smothered in kisses you decided to aim and attack Zhongli with peck kisses on his chest

Zhongli was shocked and flustered at the same time ,but he loved you even more then he already did and enjoyed this moment to the fullest

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Venti

Apparently Arcons are hard to think about (WAIT NOT LIKE THAT-) but I have no idea on this one ,as in he loves pecks, slow loving kisses, regular ones ,he doesn’t have a favourite spot for you to kiss aswell ,because every spot is his favourite spot. As in his forehead ,lips ,chin ,cheeks ,hands ,feet- (joking with the last ok? Don’t start a war about feet fetish Venti pls)

Scenario

It was another Windblume festival and in Windblume festival the main tradition is to spend it with family or people who are close

so this year you are spending Windblume with Venti but sadly he was to leave for most of the day for his performance

Well you were selling wine and platters at discounted prices ,and it wasn’t surprising that a certain someone asked to have a boyfriend discount

and when you only took 1 mora off for the “boyfriend discount” he tried to haggle for it to be 0 mora ,you told him to leave

after all of that you and your lover Venti were under a tree drinking wine (or if you don’t like wine then something else) but you both were enjoying yourselves

then a very drunk Venti said in a very drunk almost mocking tone “As your Anemo Archon , Barbatos ,I demand some kisses” he pouts

You giggle slight at the comment “Hehe Venti I know there isn’t normally anyone around at this time but quiet down what if someone hears you?” you say well checking if anyone was there

“Well then ,they must think Barbatos is a pretty lucky Archon to have someone like you ehe!“ Venti says clearly flirting with you

“Also I still haven’t gotten my answer” he pouts

“Well ok ,since you ‘demand’ me of it guess I might as well” you push your lover against the tree ,roughly kissing him and once you’re done ,you see a very flustered bard

“Uh- Uhm Ahem- it was Delightful , thank you my love” Venti says stumbling on his words

the rest of the night he played you tunes and you didn’t mind if he made a mistake, because you both were having the time of your lifes

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Hope y’all enjoyed ,didn’t post for a while ,because work hasn’t even started and school’s already being stressful

[bell4lan]

Hiii! <3

I wanted to ask If I could request a Shikanoin Heizou × Amab! Or Gn! Reader smut! He really doesn’t have much of those because most are with a fem or afab reader ;-; (literally any character lacks works for enbys or men not only Heizou, which is kinda very unfair tbh)

Thanks for looking upon my request! Even if you shouldn’t decide to take upon it, which is completely OK! :3

A Day at the Office

Genre: Smut

DNI: NON-MLM/NBLM, fujoshis, mlm/nblm fetishizers

CW: Handcuffs, unprotected sex, creampie, office sex, semi-public sex (?), slight begging, masculine words used for privates

Character(s)/Reader: Heizou x GN reader with AMAB genitalia

"Heizou, you're being too loud. What if one of your coworkers walks in, hm? They already don't like you that much." You teased as you stopped your thrusts. Heizou was currently bent over his desk, hands cuffed behind his back as he drooled onto the hard wood.

"Please..." He whimpered softly, looking back at you pleadingly.

"Please what, baby? Use your words." You said as you bent down to kiss his shoulder, still not moving. Heizou was at the point where stopping was torture, he needed you to keep going, to keep using him like a toy.

"Please keep going." He whined as he pushed his ass out more, practically presenting himself to you. Who were you to say no? You started thrusting again, deep yet slow. Heizou's moans didn't fail to pick up again as he felt your thick cock move inside him again. He tried to keep quiet, but it was difficult for him.

Heizou soon started growing tired of your slow pace. He knew it was to tease him, but it was getting annoying. "C'mon f-fuck me like you mean it." He taunted. You weren't in the mood to argue, and you had to admit the slow pace wasn't enough, so you complied.

Your thrusts turned rough and quick as you gave Heizou what he wanted. The detective could no longer contain his moans, letting them bounce off the walls as you gave him what he craved.

Shortly after you started going faster, Heizou's legs turned to jelly. He could barely hold himself up as you fucked his hole. It was amusing to see him try to stay up as he took your cock.

"Oh fuck oh fuck!" Heizou moaned as he felt your tip repeatedly hit his prostate spot on. His dick couldn't help but leak a bit of pre at the stimulation, making you smirk.

"You're really enjoying this." You chuckled as you saw his fucked out, flushed face. His lips were parted as sweet sounds left them, shining with the drool that dripped onto the desk. His eyes were barely open and clouded with lust. He looked absolutely wrecked, it was beautiful.

You lifted up the front half of his body, making him stand as you fucked him. His moans got louder from the new position as your length reached deep inside him. He felt so so full, and he loved it.

You turned his head to the side and kissed him as you thrusted, his moans being muffled by your lips. Heizou melted into the kiss, kissing back the best he could because he knew how much you loved kissing. It was sloppy, but you both still enjoyed it.

He pulled away, lips barely touching yours as he tried to gather himself. "I-I'm gonna cum. Please can I cum?" He whined breathily as he looked into your eyes.

"Cum for me handsome." You commanded as you started to stroke his dick, your thrusts still going. He gasped and came shortly after you touched his cock, globs of cum drooling out onto the desk and floor.

He started to whimper from the overstimulation but didn't dare tell you to stop. He wanted you to cum because of his body, not your hand. He noticed your thrusts get sloppy and figured you were close.

"Shit, I'm almost done, promise. Where can I cum baby?" You said, confirming his thoughts.

"Inside, cum inside me please." He pleaded, quivering at the thought of your cum inside him. You nodded and kept going until you came, filling his hole up with your seed. He moaned softly at the feeling and clenched around you.

You pulled out of his puffy and used hole slowly and undid the handcuffs, holding him up as you did because of his wobbly legs. You sat him down on a chair and grabbed some napkins to clean up the mess you two made.

As you were about to (carefully) clean up the cum that was leaking out of Heizou, he stopped you, mumbling something about how he wanted it inside him. You proceeded to just clean him up a bit before helping him find his shorts.

Once you both were cleaned up, you convinced Heizou to come home for the rest of the day and be with you. He agreed since he no longer wanted to be at the office, especially because of what he just did.

You'd think he'd feel shame, but no. He walked out of that office like nothing happened, like he didn't have a slight limp in his step. You laughed softly at his confidence and grabbed his hand so you could hold it. Your boyfriend was so amusing, you couldn't ask for anyone better.

Because that doesn't exist.

---------------------------------------------------

There wasn't many specifics into how you wanted this to go so I hope this is fine. I've been wanting to make more top readers so I made Heizou a bottom.

Also sorry if he's ooc, I don't really pay attention to Heizou that much 😅

I'm pretty tired right now so if there's any mistakes just uhhhhh ignore that!

NOTICE UST PASKUHAN (desc from wikipedia): The Paskuhan is the culmination of the university-wide Christmas activities of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines. | SONG USED: Fallen by Lola Amour

WHO WANTS TO BE MY PASKUHAN DATE?

Damn. Why does everyone else have a date, even your friends, except you? The Gods of Celestia truly have their favorites — they're not even trying to hide it.

In every corner you go, you see a couple holding hands, sitting on the other's lap, flirting, cuddling, some even kissing. It was such a gross and horrifying sight to see. You just wanted to go home, tuck yourself in your bed, and watch some Netflix all alone.

Who knew the single-bitchless life could be this boring? All your friends have left you to hang out with their partners, leaving you alone on the crowdy campus of Teyvat National.

whole content under the cut!

You sighed. Archons forbid you from sitting on the grass because you swear there's no place here where there's no couple grossly being romantic to each other.

So, now you're here sitting on the bench, all alone, with an ice cream melting in your hand. How did you end up here? You're bitchless.

Without a thought, you started licking your ice cream like a lone dog waiting for its owner to come back. Can anyone blame you for being such an antiromantic? Just looking at your surroundings is enough to gross you out. Maybe it's the effect of being single and bitter in life.

"Didn't know I'd ever see the day the over-friendly Y/N would be seen eating ice cream alone!" You heard a familiar voice cackling like a devil as he teased you for being alone.

"Shut it, you spawn of satan," you rolled your eyes at him, eating your ice cream nonchalantly.

It wasn't new to be teased by the campus fuckboy (campus crush — he's secretly a sweetheart) for being alone. I mean, you're not gonna lie — he's got that charisma, looks, money, and talent (you gagged at the thought of praising him for having skills). While you? You feel like a piece of shit. A doormat and a complete waste of time.

But, of course, your friends would say otherwise even though they've left you hanging in the air alone. And you love them for that (even though they make you feel so single every single time).

"Dear archons! Heizou, what the hell?!"

Before you knew it, Heizou had already licked a portion of your ice cream.

"Careful, L/N. Your guard should be up any time," Heizou smirked at you, wiping the ice cream that went to his face.

You looked at him as he licked his lips. He looks so damn fine. His lips look so plump and shiny you just want to kiss him — of course, you won't say this to his face, or it will inflate his ego more.

"You're staring way too much," Heizou leaned closer, your eyes meeting.

His eyes are so pretty...

"Are you sure you're not in love with me? Hm?" He teased, closing the gap even more.

His lips...

"Say, do you want to be my Paskuhan date?"

His overall facial features are just so... Wait. What?

You quickly stood up, looking all flustered. "I— I have to go."

Heizou looked at you with a puzzled look on his face as he watched you grab your stuff in a hurry. He was a bit worried if he had scared you or made you uncomfortable.

"And here I thought I was finally getting a date," Heizou sighed at the thought of missing out on having a new taste of Paskuhan.

Holy shit. You are so doomed to face eternal damnation if you ever take a good look at that damned Shikanoin detective Conan wannabe again. Of all the people who you'll like, why him? Why the campus crush — the one that is out of your league?

You swear to every archon that is listening right now (if there's one) to command the universe to stop playing with your feelings. Or maybe they're enjoying the show, laughing at you while eating their popcorn on cloud nine.

Seeing as how the mass of people is piling up, you squeezed your way through the front of the stage. The idols performing today are the only reasons why you decided to stay despite feeling grossed out the entire day. You can't miss this out now, or you'll end up going home downright heartbroken.

Archons forbid you to shout at the top of your lungs, or you'll end up losing your voice. But really, who can resist the charm of 4NEMO's lead guitarist, Xiao? Thank all archons and Gods of Celestia because this university invited a big-time boy group like 4NEMO!

Teyvat National even got LIYUE — Liyue's biggest girl group — and DCKZ to perform! Oh, what a sight. With this whole concert concept Paskuhan offered, you managed to take your mind off being bitchless and Heizou's existence.

"And, for our last performer — we have our monster rookie in the industry, who also comes from our beloved University," the host announced, inciting the screams of many.

"We are honored to have him perform his debut song today... Shikanoin Heizou!"

Roars filled the entire campus, chants of Heizou's name could be heard, and lights were flashed. The crowd was a sight to see for Heizou, but he was looking for one and only person.

"HEIZOU?!" You screamed at the top of your lungs. Contrary to those of others, yours weren't a call of affectionate lovey lovey lovey dovey dovey dovey — it was more of an expression of shock.

HE'S AN IDOL NOW?!

Were you that outdated of the lives of those in your surrounding that you didn't know your classmate debuted? You do not know whether to be proud or envious that he achieved one of his dreams once more. You know that despite his outer persona, he's a very hardworking person on the inside.

Because of your scream, Heizou managed to pinpoint you from the crowd. Your eyes locked with his, his smile growing as the music started.

Everybody started grooving to the music.

"What if I told you that I've fallen?"

The whole crowd's partying spirit got liven up despite being tired from standing for three hours straight for the entire event. But you didn't complain, the song does hit like a truck, and it's definitely a fetch.

His eyes never left yours during his entire performance — it, undoubtedly, gave you butterflies and a racing heartbeat (though you claimed it was because of the coffee you drank early this morning).

"I shouldn't tell you that I've fallen."

With that one last line from his song, the curtains closed.

"And that was our final act for tonight and this year's Paskuhan. We hope that everyone enjoyed this event. See you all next year!" The emcee announced, and the number of people in the crowd started reducing.

The song never left your mind, even after minutes that passed after his performance. It was like a broken record — playing in an endless loop, swirling in your head.

Today was supposed to be your night, given that you've seen the idols you oh-so-loved and adored. But, after Heizou's song? You sure do not know what to feel and think, given that his gaze never left you earlier — as if he was conveying something.

"Y/N! Were you up in the very front?! You're so lucky!" You heard Yoimiya say as she shook your shoulders.

"Yeah," you respond, showing your gallery to them.

"Oh my. You're so up close to the stage. I told Yoimiya we should've gone sooner," Ayaka said regrettably.

Yoimiya chuckled, "Oh, well, at least we enjoyed our date!"

Your eyes narrowed. "Ah, yes, serves you two right since you left me to go with your date. Hmph."

"Hey! Last time you went with us, you were complaining about how you're being a third wheel for the nth time," Yoimiya explained, though you know they just wanted to spend time together alone.

Yoimiya nudged you, "Anyway, you going home yet?"

"Well, I don't think there's more to do here, so—"

"You're forgetting something, Y/N," you heard Heizou's voice from behind.

Ah, yes, I'm trying to forget about you, you damn Shikanoin Heizou.

You cleared your throat and faced your friends, "Yoimiya, Ayaka, you guys can go first."

"Oh, okay! Heizou, you slayed earlier. Okay, bye!"

"Yoimiya has always been a jolly one," Heizou commented. "But you know what brings a smile to my face?"

You crossed your arms and faced this dipshit, "What is it now?"

"You."

"What?"

Heizou laughed, "Look at you! Getting all flustered. Was that the feeling you felt while listening to my performance?"

"Fuck you, Heizou, and you wanting to play with my stupid emotions tendencies."

"Huh?" Heizou was stunned by your response.

Heizou wondered, did he do anything wrong to piss you off? Did he mess up something? Did you hate his song? He didn't know, and he was scared to know the reason. Given your reaction, you looked like you were about to erupt like a volcano — all those emotions and words that were stuck in your throat for a long time are about to burst out of your mouth.

"I like you. And I hate myself for feeling that way," you started, your voice breaking and tears threatening to fall down any moment now. "Your flirtatious habit annoys me to the core because when I'm so close to moving on from this ridiculous emotion, you keep squishing your way to my heart."

"Please stop toying with my heart already, Heizou," you continued.

The lump in your throat finally disappeared when you let those piled-up words out of your mouth. Unbeknownst to you, your tears had also fallen already — putting you in a very vulnerable state in Heizou's eyes.

"I," Heizou found it hard to relay the words he wanted to tell you. He didn't know how to properly explain his feelings toward you without sounding insincere.

"If you're going to apologize, don't," you said, rubbing your swollen eyes.

You know all too well that it's not his fault you're feeling this way. You could've stopped your feelings back when it has started developing, but you chose to ignore them. Now, you're being hypocritical because you're reflecting your anger on him.

"No. I'm sorry," Heizou wiped your tears and pulled you in for a tight embrace. "I should've been more clear to you when showing my real feelings."

"Now, what the fuck do you mean by that, you loser?" You said, burying your head on his chest (although you're hitting him really hard on his chest right now).

"I asked you to be my date earlier this afternoon. But I assume that pissed you off," Heizou explained, sighing deeply.

"You asked me to be your date?" You were confused. Did he actually ask you earlier, or is he just fooling around again? Oh, maybe it was that time you were too fancied by his beauty that your mind completely blanked out and malfunctioned.

Heizou's eyebrows met each other, "What? You didn't hear me earlier, did you?"

Hearing no response from you, Heizou sighed in disappointment. "Guess I'd have to chase after you for a year again. I'll have to wait for next year to ask you out to be my Paskuhan date, huh?"

You broke the hug with Heizou and looked at him with one eyebrow raised, "Why wait for next year's Paskuhan when the night's still not over yet?"

Heizou looked at you with widened eyes. Did you just accept his date proposal? It felt surreal to him. He chased after you for years now, and he can't believe he managed to ask you out (albeit failing on the first try).

"A-Are you agreeing to be my date for today?" Heizou's face was as red as a tomato, and it was evident that he was flustered.

"Tonight. Take me somewhere before I change my mind."

Heizou's face lit up at your words. "Where do you want to go?"

"I'm okay being by your side for as long as I can hide," you stated the lyrics from the song, which made him chuckle.

"So, you did listen to my performance," Heizou said, taking your hand.

You intertwined your fingers with him, "Of course, I'm proud of my dearest friend for achieving one of his dreams."

Heizou chuckled, "I'm glad I told you that I've fallen."

NOTE AKO'Y NAGBABALIK (i'm back) i was gone for a month, now i'm back from hellhole which is school. i have something in mind for mixed signals but i'd rather think about it carefully for now before actually executing my plan sahfauhfaud. anyway, i hope you enjoyed my little silly brainrot of heizou. ust paskuhan made me feel so bitchless, i just had to write this down and share my pain with everyone else. MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE! enjoy your holidays~

Hihi! I had a question (OFC IF YA DONT MINNDD) about Heizou, Wanderer, and Kazuha (separate) x Flirty! Clumsy! Reader? (Or just heizou if you DONT feel comfortable writing 2 more characters!!)

(Like for.. example idk😭, Reader could be SO confident being teasing and flirting with them until BAM they shoulder the wall really hard! But gets up really quick (to try and save themselves from that EMBARRASSING moment..) and get back to being all flirty as if they didn’t just make a fool outta themselves!)

Also have a lovely December and a Wonderful year!!

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

| • Wanderer

It was another normal day in sumeru,nothing out of the ordinary

Well you decided it was too boring

So what did you do?you went to annoy your pretty pretty boyfriend

How were you going to do that?well obviously you were going to tease him.

You found him with nahide in the sanctuary of surasthana

You waited for nahide to leave,and then you stepped in

He was happy to see you,even though he'd never admit it

"are you here just to tease me and make fun of me?

"of course not,I just wanted to see my lovely boyfriend! Is that so weird?"

Yeah he doesn't believe you

So you keep on teasing him,walking around the sanctuary

That is until you manage to trip over nothing.

Of course you try to get up as quickly as possible to not embarrass yourself more than you already have

Yeahhh....he's laughing at you

Will not let this go

Will use it against you (he's a little shit but he loves you)

| • Kazuha

Kazuha had just recently left to get some fresh air

You decided to tag along because why not?

On the way you randomly got this urge to tease him

So you did

Sneaking an arm around his surprisingly small waist,you began

He had a small blush on his face,and occasionally chuckled at your antics

(I love him

Precious baby

I need a kazuha in my life)

You threw some compliments in too,which he responded with his own

It was going well until you got hit in the head with a branch and fell down

You got up as quickly as possible and dusted yourself off

You know,to try keeping your act

But this sweet boy came next to you asking if you're okay with a small laugh

Once he's sure you're okay,you're getting a kiss on the forehead

Sweet baby, would recommend,10/10

| • Heizou

Teasing him would lead to nowhere

He WILL tease you back

Let's say you were out somewhere seemingly investigating

You wanted to make things more interesting,so you though of a plan

To tease Heizou

He'll play your little game

He'll play it better than you

But once you fall down and embarrass yourself?it's over

Don't try getting up because he's right in front of your face when you want to

He'll check for injuries,and if there aren't any, he'll tease you

Don't try to talk either because he's shutting you up with a kiss

Don't try to okay these games with him, he'll win.

Shikanoin Heizou x gn reader

wc: 1,799

Notes: I will pay to see Heizou raging at a backseat gamer. Overall cuteness sprinkled with some spice because I’m a horny bastard ♡⸜(˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝

Back to Masterlist C

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*   ♡　*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

You were surprised when he told you he’s a streamer. How does he have time to fit that in with his busy job??

Well he manages, and you followed him embarrassingly fast once he told you his name on Twitch.

Tuning into his streams brings you so much joy. His community is really chill albeit super horny and you’ve found that you fit right in.

His Twitch name is Cyclone and he calls his  chat ‘His detectives.’

You eagerly open up Twitch once you get the notification that Heizou has gone live. “Hello, my little detectives. Have any new leads for me today?”

The way you clutched your chest as your heart skipped a beat.

Swoon.

One time he told chat when he’ll go live just to go live an hour earlier. What was he doing that whole hour? Just chatting. Chat asked Heizou any question they wanted and he answered. Too bad for the majority that only a handful of chatters showed up, including yourself.

Once more people started flooding in, Heizou ended the stream to delete the Vod before he began a new stream at his usual time.

To say chat was flabbergasted is an understatement.

What was discussed has surprisingly been kept under wraps to this day. It’s a secret kept between you and the other chatters present that day, and as a result the few of you that were present became closer.

You guys love to tease the detectives about it sometimes.

. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

After Heizou told you about his stream he made you a mod and introduced you to the community. Chat welcomed you with open arms but that didn’t make it any less embarrassing for you.

One thing you pick up on pretty quick is how much he HATES backseat gaming. He has explicitly given you instructions to ban people who backseat game after one warning. He has even gone out of his way mid game to pull up chat and ban backseat gamers.

One time he got so mad he was visibly raging on stream which resulted in you crying tears of laughter, but you don’t tell him that.

You’re surprised when you find out you’re only one of three mods on his channel. Who are the other two?

One goes by ‘TheOneAndOnikabuto’ and they’re a bit… chaotic. You two have executed  numerous pranks and trolls on Heizou, but he lets you two get away with it.

The other mod isn’t there as often but they’re super chill and dependable. They ban with a swiftness so sometimes you don’t even finish reading the problematic message before the person’s banned. They go by ‘TheGuidingStars.’ Apparently two people use the account.

Off Stream Heizou will sometimes reminisce on funny stream moments with you. 

Heizou tells you that he’s told chat he’s already taken, but if you’re comfortable and you want to, he’ll tell chat that you’re his partner. He’s content either way if you wish to reveal yourself or keep that between the two of you.

The mods know of course, and surprisingly TheOneAndOnikabuto hasn’t spilled the beans already. Although he apparently hates beans so that works in your favor.

‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵

One day Heizou arranged a fun outing so all the mods could meet up irl. You were apprehensive at first but knowing not only Heizou but TheOneAndOnikabuto would be there put your mind at ease.

Apparently the ‘TheOneAndOnikabuto’ goes by Itto and he’s, well, very chaotic irl. Which was expected.

Meeting ‘TheGuidingStars’ wasn’t as bad as you thought it would be. They’re twins who go by Aether & Lumine, and you hit it off pretty well with them.

Heizou likes to play RPGS, especially one’s where there’s a mystery going on with unanswered questions. After you recommended he play Persona 4 Golden, Heizou went CRAZY. He adores the cast and has fun trying to determine who the killer is.

Funny enough, when he told you his suspicions off stream he was 100% on the money but you didn’t tell him that lest he turn his backseat gaming rage on you.

It became a bit of an inside joke with the frequent chatters, but one time a particular person was being a bit TOO open about their admiration for your pretty boyfriend. After another horny comment from said person you didn’t even think twice before banning them.

Immediately you felt a bit ashamed at how fast you acted, but the feeling of relief overrode your other emotions. That is, until Heizou pointed out that the comments were no longer appearing. After he checked and saw that they were banned, he KNEW it was you but he decided to act innocent.

“I wonder which mod banned them? Shall we try and solve this case my little detectives?” Heizou had the audacity to pull up a poll for chat to vote. After the poll ended Heizou burst into laughter when your name was at the top of the list. Funny enough, Itto was second and close in votes to you.

Heizou decided to “take a hydration break” after the poll and it only took a few moments before he made his way over to you. You tried to hide from him but he was quick to remove the device you were using to watch his stream from your view.

“Is someone jealous of a horny stranger in my chat? Hmm?“ His smug words only served to irritate you, so your reply was “No. It just irritated me how they were having such lewd thoughts about you. I mean, I don’t blame them, but at the end of the day only I can have those thoughts about you.” Your confident reply only makes his grin grow wider and the distance between the two of you close.

“Well, if that’s how you feel I have no qualms with the ban. Although… why don’t you put those thoughts of yours into action?” Heizou’s breathy whisper brushes against your cheek, and you’re the one who eagerly closes the miniscule distance between your lips and his inviting ones. 

As much as Heizou physically ached to continue making out with you, he only indulged you for a few moments more like 5 minutes before he returned to stream to tell his detectives that he’ll return at a later date.

Chat was more than suspicious for the sudden end to the livestream since he seemed a little out of breath and his hair was a bit disheveled, but overall they found the whole situation funny.

As soon as the stream ended Heizou’s lips became glued to yours once again. You can’t help but feel a bit smug since you know you’re the only one who can make him feel this way.

➳༻❀✿❀༺➳

After you feel comfortable in his community he invites you, Itto, Lumine, & Aether to play games with him on stream.

The first time you talked on stream you were so nervous that your palms were sweaty, but when you saw the positive feedback from chat about how “Attractive” and “Cute” your voice sounds your nerves vanished into thin air.

Itto made the first joint gaming session more chaotic than it needed to be, but otherwise everyone had a good time and the detectives took a liking to Heizou playing with his mods.Soon it became more of a regular thing. Sometimes Heizou even invited chat to join in on the games.

One time Heizou was openly flirting with you in game, and before you two knew it, chat was actively shipping you two. Off stream, Itto and Lumine love to tease you two about it. Aether’s more chill but he tends to catch you off guard with his blunt comments. “The sexual tension between the two of you was so intense that I felt it through the screen. Next time you two should just get off stream and go make out already.” The way your jaw dropped-

If you ever show interest in streaming on your own channel, Heizou is all for whatever you decide to do. If you DO make your own channel, he’s literally always in your stream. Always. Even if he’s currently streaming he’ll pull up your stream on something else to watch.

One time he literally watched your stream with his chat while he ate.

He’s your first and most trustworthy mod. You hardly see toxicity in your chat, and that’s hard to achieve.

Although, you have noticed how fast he’ll time out others who write thirsty comments about you. You start dying of laughter on stream when a long message from Heizou pops up in chat @‘ing an extremely down bad chatter before he bans them.

Your communities have a FIELD DAY with that clip.

『••✎••』

Heizou’s chatters aren’t called his “little detectives” for nothing. In his discord server, the one he made for his community, you read all the evidence they have for their theory that you & Heizou are dating.

You sit down and scroll through the evidence with Heizou as you two laugh together. It’s almost scary how spot on his detective's intuition is. If you decide it’s time to tell the detectives that you two are dating, Heizou is elated. He devises the perfect way to tell them. However, if you choose not to say anything he’s content with that as well.

Heizou waits for his next livestream to tell his detectives that they cracked the case. 

When he finally breaks the news he does it in such a subtle way that even YOU almost didn’t catch it. Chat blows up with messages of “WE ALREADY KNEW” and “omg I told you so !!”

Your favorite comment is from Itto himself, who says “What!? They’re dating?” with such an incredulous tone in his voice that you would’ve believed he never knew if you didn’t know any better. You hear Heizou’s raucous laughter from the other room and your laughter soon joins him to create a wonderful harmony of love.

You hop on his stream for a moment to say hi to chat, and they start gushing at how cute you two are together. 

Thankfully, his chat is very supportive of you two.

They were already making cute ship stuff with you & Heizou, with his permission mind you, but now they make cute couple compilations of you two that you guys watch together during cozy nights.

Overall, Heizou as your streamer boyfriend? Top tier.

P.S: He ups his flirting game with you tenfold on stream. Sometimes even Itto has to tell him to tone it down or go offline to handle his “horny business.” Everyone is both equally flabbergasted and amused when Heizou actually ends the stream with a brief “See you next time, my little detectives.” 

When you look up to see him making quick strides towards you, you're more than ready to accept whatever he has to offer.

How did we get to Inazuma? Chapter 1

Heizou x Outlander! Reader

This is a re created version of my other Heizou fic, I tried to write him more in his Canon personality this time.

The original story of this I hated it, so I had to do him justice.

Can Rene write Heizou correctly this time, let's see ^^.

 "Thank you for coming!" The lunchtime rush had the restaurant where you worked completely swarmed. While some left with their meals, others lingered in the chairs and carried on a conversation. When you hear your name, you look up to see your employer glaring at you irritably.

 "Can you not work faster?" He started berating you for being careless just as a client needed assistance.

 "Look at what I'm doing! As he approaches the consumer with a kind grin, his passive aggressive demeanor fades away.

  "How can we help you?" You were watching mindlessly when a coworker rushed into you, knocking over a dish of food. 

“My bad.." They make fun of you as they take the dish away and walk away. Rude comments were made as you cleaned up the mess.

      You had never dealt with consumers in your past employment, so this one was a learning experience. Because the manager could see you were desperate for work, they hired you on the spot and promised to show you the ropes. You've just been here a week, yet you're already making errors. The boss's anger against you seems to be increasing. 

You grumbled and walked to the kitchen to grab another dish. As you make your approach cautiously to the front, you catch sight of a guy with red hair and jade eyes scanning the employees. 

Setting the plate down, you give him a quick look. Half of his uniform was visible through the kimono that he had wrapped around his waist. You must have been watching too intently, as he met your gaze. He stared at you with narrowed eyes until you moved to help another client. Going back to grab a new plate for a customer, he called you over.

 "I can help, Y/N is just a little busy right now."He shook his head giving your boss an apologetic look. "I'm okay with waiting, since I need to ask them some questions." Your boss nods to the man, as you return to the front of the house. 

"He wants to have a word with you, Y/N. I'll take care of this for you. " You cautiously approach the redhead who has pulled up his badge. 

"I'm detective Shikanoin Heizou, may I have a moment?" You nod and leave through the side door, where you find him waiting. 

He arose and led you away from your place of employment to a secluded area behind the stores. Before continuing, he takes out a notepad. 

"Before I begin, can I have your name ?" You looked at him confused seeing you did nothing wrong. 

 

 "Just that I can't recall ever seeing you before. Foreigners come to Inazuma, but they never live here. Up until now, we have no record of you ever having resided in Inazuma." You nod and give him your name. 

“Name, now Name, have you passed Inazuma's Security Check?" You stop, recalling how a blonde female found you unconscious in a nearby bush. He makes a note of your hesitation and moves on to the next questioning.

 "Have you been sick or been in contact with anyone who has been sick before coming to Inazuma?" Your head shakes in disagreement.

 "Are you related to anyone from Inazuma?" As the length of his inquiries increased, you shook your head once again. Your anxiety level increased as you answered more questions.

 “Do you have a travel permit?” Your bewildered expression seals your doom. 

"Okay, you'll have to come to the police station with me. As he approached, your expression became white. 

"I  just need you to answer a few questions."  You were afraid to go with him to the Tenryou Commission, but you realized you had no choice.

 As you go by, your coworkers give you the cold shoulder and some even make statements about how they know you can't be trusted. 

However, after giving you the position without checking with your former employers, your boss glanced at you incredulously before averting his gaze. 

Judgmental looks from passersby followed you as you made your way to the Tenrou commission. Some of them hissed, while others, who had never seen your face before, stared at you in bewilderment.

You lowered your gaze in an attempt to avoid more scrutiny. After all, you didn't choose to wake up in this world. You attempted to recall the events that led to this predicament, but the sheer thought of them caused your brain to ache. The sight of the building ahead startles you out of your thoughts.

 The sight of the building and the number of steps gave you anxiety as you drew near.  What would happen if you were to be sent out of Inazuma?  Where would you even go?

 As you pass by the bridge and entered what seemed like a miniature of the palace. Heizou slows down matching  speed to keep you in sight. His hands tapping his pants leg absent minded as you enter the police department.

The two gate guards examine you with interest, particularly since you are not wearing handcuffs. He waves off their concern telling them that he'll explain after.

 

The department was larger on the inside. Different rooms reaching to higher departments. Some Co workers pass him as they unlock the door and gestures for you to come in, then locks it behind you and takes a seat across from you. 

"Do I have to go through a certain procedure?" He nods and rummages through his papers to locate the one you need. 

"Please review this and sign below." 

Before reading through his assignment, you seize his pen. You would be sent back to the main island, since you don't have proper documentation. You pause thinking over the events that happened.

You arrived in Inazuma City; does he assume that you entered the nation illegally? Or is he just assuming?

“Return? I awoke in Inazuma City."

"You Just woke up?"

"You didn't sneak into Inazuma, did you?"You shake your head. 

"I see. You must be an outlander then." 

“Outlander?” 

“I see. I had no idea there were any other "outlanders" besides them." His expression brightened briefly, and then he kept digging around for proof. He then reached into his bag and produced a heavier form, which he gave to you.

“This document is for housing, this is for a travel permit, it allows you to leave Ritou." He continues explaining the other documents you need to sign. After hours of paperwork, he takes the documents from you. 

"Stay here, I'll go submit these."  

You honestly thought getting Isekai would be easier like those stories you read. The main character gets isekai'd, and they end up in this unknown world. They somehow join the ranks of guards in a corrupt society and end up having a decent life. 

You didn't think you would work for a corrupt person, but you did believe you would have a decent life as a fisherman or some low income job in this society. 

You vaguely know where you are other than this country being called Inazuma. You met a blonde girl named Naganohara Yoimya who gave you shelter for a bit as you adjusted to this new world. Getting on your feet, you thanked her and tried to keep your head low and get a job to support yourself. 

Until he came by the restaurant. After hearing that you got taken to the police station, there's a likely chance that you'll be allowed back to work. 

There was barely anywhere in Inazuma that would hire you, what would you do then? You sigh heavily into your hands. You had no fighting experience, no vision, you were useless stranded on an Island in the middle of nowhere.

Low talking was heard from the next room. A familiar woman's voice spoke low as the male responded.

"Yes, I'm handling the situation." Their words were difficult to make out bit you assumed she was scolding him. 

Just as the conversation created more tension, the door opened. Heizou re entered the room followed by a young woman with dark medium hair wearing a scowl on her face. She was going to say something jubtil she landed on you.

"Madam Kujou this isn't the best time. I'm taking care of business with this Traveler." She stared assessing you and your outfit that you wore. She let out a small sigh leaning against the wall.

"We'll finish this later Shikanoin." She walks off closing the door to his office.

"Now, here's more papers I need you to sign."

After more scribbles and going over things, he handed you copies.

"Since it takes approximately up to 15 buisness days for this to be finalized, you need somewhere to stay in the meantime." 

"I have somewhere to stay at, don't worry." He raised an eyebrow staring in confusion. 

"The person who helped me get that job is allowing me to stay with her for the time being." He nods standing up from his seat again. 

"Well seeing that you fell into Inazuma, that still needs to be investigated." 

Of course you would have to talk to him again. Just when you thought you were out of the park, you were sent a few feet back.

"Let me walk you out Y/N." He opens the door for you.

[the-guardian-kitsune]

✧ — sorry, i'm a vampire.

your lover never suspected a thing about your true nature, but one night you're not as careful as your usual and now he knows. you're afraid of how he will react, but will it be truly that bad?

cw / tw : cyno x reader; diluc x reader; heizou x reader. mentions of blood, dead animals. suggestive ends, mdni.

a/n : repost from my old blog @/azaliyas.

01:57 am, half-moon night.

it had been a while since your last meal. a true one, the only that could really satiate your stomach, because despite the delicious foods and tasty drinks your lover would usually feed you, they did nothing to fulfill your true needs. luckily you didn't need to go hunt that often, once a week could do just fine, but right now you were on your eighth day, practically starving.

you couldn't take it anymore and decided to finally slip out, away from the gentle embrace of your warm lover, leaving him alone in the large bed of your shared home. he never noticed you go out at night, and you were more than sure that he wouldn't that night too.

you never thought so wrong.

after changing in a much more proper attire than your pajamas, opting for an all-black outfit to let the shadows of the night hide you, you jumped out of the window and went into the forest.

you have always disliked the thought of hurting animals, but you were absolutely against the possibility of feeding off of humans; unwilling ones at least. your clan had strict rules about this, but you didn't have the heart to lure and play with poor innocents just because you needed to drink. plus, animals were the base of almost all meals for a reason.

a bunch of wild animals was sitting around the roots of a large tree, some snoozing and others ruminating the green grass. you ignored the smaller ones, too little blood, but locked your gaze on the two biggest. they would have been more than enough, perhaps giving you the chance to go on even for two weeks before your next hunt.

you hid behind a tree not too far away from the little beasts, eyes targeting the biggest two. you felt your fangs poking your bottom lip, which you licked in anticipation. your breath hitched in your throat, fingers clawed, ready to jump on your preys.

a bolt was all it took to you to ground the targets, the others running away deeper in the forest as you snapped the two animals' necks, ending their suffering as quick as it started. there was no point in letting those poor creatures endure more pain than necessary.

you didn't waste any more time and sank your fangs in the first animal's body, sucking its blood quickly to satiate your thirst. the thick liquid felt ecstatic sliding down your throat, a satisfied hum leaving your lips as the limp body fell from your grip, all of its blood gone.

a trail of fresh blood dribbled from your lips down to your chin, red staining your fangs and painting your lips in a nice shade that made the best lipsticks in commerce pale. you were ready to sank your teeth in the second prey when, suddenly, footsteps reached your ears. panicked, your head snapped behind your back, only to see the last person you wanted to witness that state of yours: your lover.

cyno had suspected you were hiding something from him for a while. of course, being the general mahamatra meant nothing could go past his prying eyes. everything and nothing had his gaze on it, making it difficult for something to escape him without him knowing about it. however, you did manage to escape, and he was surprised. he thought that, being your lover, it meant he was the person that knew you better, except for your closed family that you held in high regard.

but cyno couldn't stand the thought of you hiding something from him. however, he decided to take his time with it, patiently collecting evidence after evidence after understanding that you wouldn't have told him anything had he asked you. you were incredibly stubborn and that was something that he both despised and admired about you. it was part of the charm that bewitched him and lured him into your arms.

he started noticing you regularly left your shared bed, at night, once a week or so, usually leaving one hour or two after midnight, always coming back in a couple of hours. you would dress in dark clothes but would bring nothing with you, not even a weapon. you would come back with the scents of the forest lingering on you, lightly, but his keen senses could smell it nonetheless. and then he would smell the blood, that would have him slightly widen his eyes. however, during your moments of intimacy, he couldn't see any wound on your body. so, where did the smell of blood come from?

he went to tighnari in search of answers to his questions, but not even the forest watcher could help him, except for a very simple advice: to follow you. only by following you wherever you would go into the forest he would have gotten the so much needed answers he wanted to know. but he needed to be careful, he knew you weren't a fool; a single mistake and you would have driven him away from whatever you were hiding from him.

before leaving tighnari back to his duties, cyno asked a question the forest watcher deemed to be the strangest his long-time friend ever asked him: how much blood could a human lose without dying?

tonight was the ideal one to follow you and finally uncover your secret. cyno waited for ten minutes before getting up and quickly change, jumping out of the window like you did and easily tracking you down. it was his job, a piece of cake for the fearsome mahamatra.

you were fast, but he was faster, and so quiet you didn't notice him. or perhaps you were so focused on whatever task you had in mind that you didn't check twice your surroundings? who knew, but it worked for him, so that was fine.

cyno hid behind a tree not too far away from you, but close enough to keep a clear eye on you. he didn't understand why you were targeting boars when you had no weapons on you, how were you thinking of taking them down? yet he stayed still, curious about your next move... he didn't expect it to be jumping straight onto the poor animals, that's for sure.

his scarlet eyes widened in bewilderment seeing you sinking your face, your teeth, in the poor animal. he couldn't believe his theory about you being a vampire was correct. he only thought of it as a joke, but archons, he was right! however, his shock soon died down as the thought of letting you know about his presence came to his mind.

he stepped out of his hiding spot, calling your name in the soft tone that was reserved to you only. seeing you snap your head back and widen your eyes in pure shock had him realise how much right he was, with the blood dripping down your chin and onto the ground.

he noticed you going pale at his sight, figure frozen on the ground, mouth agape in panic. he took a few steps closer before you reacted, and just as he was about to kneel to meet your gaze, you kicked back, both exposing yourself in the state you were and putting some distance between you two.

«you're a predator, yet you're afraid of me?» he asked you, crossing his arms, scoffing at your reaction, looking down at you. you felt like one of the criminals your boyfriend was used to arrest.

you, on the other hand, were in the middle of two emotions: shock and disbelief. shock because your boyfriend just uncovered your secret, disbelief because he seemed untouched by it. for abyss' sake, you were a vampire! he witnessed you hunting! drinking blood! and wasn't batting an eye!

«how- h-how... why the hell are you so calm?!» you managed to stutter out, sitting on the cold ground, still unable to believe your eyes. you knew cyno had a cool temper, but bloody hell, everyone else would be losing their nuts about such a discovery! but no, not him, the almighty general mahamatra didn't seem he could care less about his partner being a vampire.

«mhh, that's a question i'm not sure about how to answer, because i don't know it either. maybe because, despite witnessing your true nature, all i can see is my loving partner.» these words flew out of his mouth with such kindness they almost had you cry. almost. however, all you did was drop your jaw on the ground.

seriously, did this idiot had any sense of danger, or did his job dull it? you couldn't think about it much, because the smell of your dead meal reached your nostrils, and your appetite made itself clear to you again. you cleared your throat and looked away from your boyfriend, eyes again on your prey.

«we can talk about it later, i need to finish my meal first.» you told him coldly, already moving towards the boar, when his arm stopped you. your eyes locked onto his tanned limb, the smell of his sweet blood reaching your nostrils. you had human blood rare times, but they had been enough to let you know it was far more superior than animal's.

somehow, cyno noticed your gaze, and read it all too well for your tastes, because his free hand grabbed your hand, forcing you up. his arms soon found themselves around your waist, pulling you closer to his figure that was now towering over you. his gaze met yours, red in red as his lips parted to let him speak.

«feed off me. human blood surely is better than animal one, right?» he told you, and you could only nod. he was right, human blood was the best, and only archons knew how much you craved it.

«it hurts.» you whispered, face in the crook of his neck, lips brushing against his tanned skin in light kisses, trying to find his pulse.

«doesn't matter.» he murmured, soft sighs leaving his lips at your kisses. he then felt two pointy things on his skin, and he knew it was coming. he didn't talk, just pushed your head closer as permission.

just as you said, it hurt. it hurt when your fangs sank in his skin, in his vein. it hurt feeling his blood leaving his body to course down your throat, yet he couldn't help but enjoy the moment so much a soft moan left his lips. you, on the other hand, moaned as soon as the first drop fell on your tongue. archons, did you miss such wonderful taste- but it was even better now, drinking from your lover. your hand reached for his head, pulling on his hair to bend his head backwards, so you could have more space. he let you do, his own hands busy in gripping on your hips.

since human blood could satiate better than animal one, you needed only a few sips before you pulled away, thrist finally quenched. cyno witnessed you licking your fangs and lips with satisfaction, cleaning them of any residual blood of his. he felt his head light and a bit dizzy, but overall he was fine.

«think you can stop hunting down wild boars?» he questioned, arms still secured around you.

let's say that, after that night, the wild boars population went increasing — and so did your relationship and your intimate life with the general mahamatra.

being in a relationship with diluc meant having the eyes of all the citizens of mondstadt on you. he was the uncrowned king of the nation: make it because of his lineage, because of his business, or just for his good looks. and for how much you loved him, you hated the attention because it made it hard to go hunting without risking to get caught, your secret getting exposed. and then who knew what those aristocratic bastards would have said about you, taking inspirations from all the bullshit myths about vampires and their hypnotic powers.

despite that, you always managed to get away with your late night hunting sessions, the entirety of mondstadt unaware. well, except for diluc, who had his fair share of questions about what you went doing every week after leaving the manor. even if his duties as the darknight hero had him away most of the nights, the few ones he would spend sleeping by your side had him noticing your weekly absences. but protecting the city had him busy, so he tasked adelinde to witness your leaving and returning, informing him the following day.

that night you thought that, with diluc busy in mondstadt for a night patrol, you could sneak away unnoticed, because you never knew adelinde had her eye on you. nor you knew diluc was awaiting for you lurking in the shadows, eager to follow you and witness whatever you were hiding from him.

the wine tycoon didn't have to wait much because, as punctual as usual, there you were, jumping out of the window of the first floor, totally unfazed. and to say you didn't look as trained as you clearly were. your lover underestimated you, it seemed. nevermind, that didn't matter much. he waited for you to put some distance between you two before he started following you, always stepping behind trees while you ran through them, jumping with such agility. how much were you exactly hiding? he thought you were clumsy and stiff, but again, he was wrong.

you went all the way down to brightcrown canyon, one of your favourite hunting spots. many wild boars would gather there, giving you plenty of choice regarding the size of your prey. diluc noticed that as well, but he couldn't understand why you were targeting boars; adelinde told him you never brought a weapon with you, so what were you thinking?

he didn't have much time to search for an answer because you jumped on the boars, knocking them down and snapping their necks with your bare hands. the pyro vision holder froze on the spot, eyes locked on your face plastered with the blood of the animal. he couldn't believe it, that the legends were true- and that his lover was part of such a mythological race.

he gulped down, trying to think rationally about his next move. should he let you know about his presence? and if yes, now or once you were done? he loved you but he didn't want your — archons it was so weird to think it — teeth down his throat because your hunger (thirst?) was having the best of you. all kind of thoughts were running through his mind about what to do, and in the middle of it he didn't notice he stepped on a dry branch, snapping it, revealing his presence to you. only when your red widened eyes fell on his figure he did notice his mistake.

you stepped back, forgetting about the second boar you were ready to devour, panicked because your lover was there with you, witnessing the only thing you never wanted him to know about. you were done, so done now. what would he think now? that you were a monster? a threat to the safety of mondstadt? you were always ready for a fight, but could you stand it if you opponent was the man you loved? what-

«y/n.» he called, not an ounce of disgust nor anger in his voice. just the usual softness that was for you only.

«i-i... i can explain diluc... please, please le-» you tried to stutter, but he interrupted you.

«you're a vampire. it's self explanatory, i think.» he told you, still that sweet tone in his voice.

for how much you loved how sweet and thoughtful he has always been with you you couldn't stand it a second longer.

«why the hell are you so unfazed?! for abyss' sake diluc, you just discovered i'm a vampire! you should be running away afraid i might assault you!» you snapped in the middle of an emotional storm made of panic, disbelief and anger. yes, anger. you were so angry by his unfazed behaviour, and it only worsened when you heard him snicker, cold blood now boiling in your veins.

«i never run away from danger, you should know that.» he told you, arms crossed before his chest.

you jumped back up on your feet, your thirst long forgotten as you were about to give your boyfriend the earful of his life. but before you could even start scolding him diluc gently took your hands in his, lifting them up to kiss your knuckles. his eyes burned holes in yours as he spoke.

«i understand your concern, but you're my lover, y/n. haven't i promised you i'd always be by your side, no matter what?» he whispered, his lips still lingering on your hands. you nodded remembering the golden lock necklace he gifted you, hid under your shirt because you never wanted it to leave your skin. it always lingered warm, reminding you of diluc's pyro vision.

«even if i'm a predator and a potential threat to mondstadt and its citizens?» you asked, and he snorted. it irritated you all over again — you weren't a damn clown for his entertainment!

«considering that half the townsfolk are intoxicated with wine and the other half is made of people you despise, not much.» was his answer, and you couldn't help but giggle. he was right, the blood of drunkards was awful and surely you would have preferred to starve than drinking from someone you disliked.

diluc noticed the dead boar you didn't feed on, now feeling bad for interrupting your meal. however, as an apology, he thought about offering himself as a substitute, his neck ready for you. having already some scars there no one would have noticed the one you would have given him.

«it hurts.» you pointed out, something sounding like uncertainty in your voice, but your hands going up to move away his soft burning locks told him another story. he didn't mind though. his arms found themselves around your middle, pulling you closer as your face found solace in the crook of his battered neck. your lips caressed his skin in search of his pulse, his own quivering in anticipation.

a hand of his got entagled in your hair, keeping your head down as a sort of permission. he trusted you enough to put his life in your hands, and you knew that as well. you weren't going to make him endure it too long, human blood could satiate in smaller amounts and for longer than animal one.

diluc didn't felt much pain once you sank your fangs in his skin, in fact it was quite pleasant... so much a low moan left his lips, his face sinking in your hair. you pulled his locks, earning another moan from him as you kept drinking his warm, sweet blood. his hands squeezed your hips, your body now glued to his thanks to his tight grip on you.

before it could escalate any further you finished and stepped back, both of you with flushed cheeks and clouded minds. he cleared his throat and you looked down, ignoring the rush of adrenaline coursing through your veins.

«i think... we just found out a new way to satisfy your needs in terms of sustenance.» he murmured, but your keen senses had you hear him loud and clear.

«and i don't think it will be about meals only.» you retorted, unable to hide both the smirk on your lips and the knowing meaning of your words.

you laughed upon seeing your boyfriend's face painted in the same shade of his fiery fluffy hair.

your boyfriend was known as the best detective of inazuma for a reason, yet you still thought that escaping at night without making a single sound and returning just a couple of hours later would have been enough for him to not notice.

it was safe to say you were a bit of an idiot.

heizou had noticed your weekly night escapades quite soon, only a few weeks after you decided to move in together so you could increase the amount of time you two could spend with each other. so, of course he noticed the absence of your chilly body from the bed, your pajamas thrown on the mattress signaling you had changed your clothes before going out. but his service weapons were still in the room, so it meant you went out without a meaning of defense. just what were you up to?

heizou started collecting evidences for every possible scenario, putting them off whenever that route came out inconsistent. you weren't (luckily for his heart) cheating nor were you involved in criminal business. no one would talk about strange things happening in the city the nights you disappeared, so it meant you weren't there in the beginning. he then would inspect your clothes, mud and blood on your boots. upon further inspection, he found out the mud was from chinju forest and the blood belonged to an animal, probably a kitsune. it wasn't a crime per se, but it was well known in inazuma that any bad move on a kitsune would irate the shogun and her faithful servant, the lady guuji of the grand narukami shrine. didn't you know that?

after a few weeks of investigation, in which he kept track of your escapades, the doushin finally decided to close this case. whatever you were up to, he told himself, he would have stopped you, even if it meant putting you in jail. it hurt him, but before of being your boyfriend he was a detective for the tenryou commission, and it was his job to keep inazuma safe.

as usual, you dressed up to go out that night, your dry throat yelling at you to move up and get down to business. you looked over your shoulder down to heizou, lying in bed, sleeping soundly — apparently, at least. he was wide awake, but archons was he a good actor. he could feel your gaze on him, and he felt your lips lingering on his forehead for a light kiss before you jumped out of the window. how cute of you, he thought, were you unintentionally trying to bribe him? that wouldn't have worked at all, he was loyal to his principles.

after a single minute heizou kicked the covers off his body, already dressed in his usual attire and ready to follow his beloved wherever they were going to. imitating your movements he jumped out of the window, noticing you sprinting in the distance toward chinju forest. since that was your destination, he could take his time to make sure you wouldn't notice his presence lurking behind your back.

and in fact, you didn't. you were unaware of heizou's presence hiding in the shadows, his emerald eyes on your figure as you were preparing yourself for whatever you were about to do. he noticed the bunch of kitsune, lazily sitting around. he knew you were about to move onto them, he did, but he couldn't help the shock that took over him when he saw you sinking your teeth in one of their throats, another one laying lifeless beside you as the others ran away.

dear almighty shogun, why? just... why?

a vampire. you were a vampire. a creature feeding off blood, but he thought that legends and myths talked about human blood, not animal. don't take him wrong, he was glad you weren't feeding (he couldn't believe he had to use such word) on the people of inazuma, but he was curious as to why. ethical choice? did you feed on humans only when they were willing? and how did that happen? but then, did you ever feed on human blood? and what about your family? were they like you or were they unaware of your true nature?

so many questions, yet no answer. well, you had them, so why not ask you? he already found you out, he just had to let his presence known and have you satisfy his curiosity.

normally, one would stop and think about it twice before interrupting a vampire in the middle of their meal (as if that had already happened to him, the genius), but it's shikanoin heizou we're talking about, the doushin as sly as a fox and twice mischievous. he was both a menace and a vision holder, he could go on without worrying about it too much.

«love, would you mind answering some questions?» he asked while stepping out to let you be aware of his presence. the way your head snapped back to look at him looked painful, he thought, but maybe your nature had you think it was nothing.

you didn't even have the time to step back or run away or whatever that your boyfriend was already by your side, your face in his hands as he was inspecting you. the bloodless kitsune fell from your hands as his thumbs brushed on your red-tainted lips, forcing them apart. you felt his fingertips brushing against your fangs, the smell of fresh blood invading his nostrils.

«truly fascinating.» he murmured to himself, his signature smirk curving his perfect lips.

you blinked once, then twice, then thrice before actually escaping heizou's grip, taking his wrists in your hands to stop him from pulling such a move on you again.

«i knew you weren't exactly in your right mind since i first met you, but that's too much even for you, heizou!» you snarled at him, fangs on display as you tried to scare him back. your attempt was cute, but not enough, earning a crystalline laugh from the maroon-haired detective.

«on the contrary, my dear darling, i think i'm quite a genius. after all, i solved your case in just a few weeks. truly one of my best works.» he chirped, your eyes widening in shock.

you didn't know if you wanted to punch him in the face or slap away that irritating smirk of his that, in other occasions, would have you drool waiting for a kiss. and damn him he knew that as well.

«you just found out your lover is a fucking vampire and yet you act like you found out i'm just taking casual night strolls!» you screeched at him, in total and utter disbelief. didn't this idiot you would normally call your boyfriend have any sense of self-preservation?! did he even understand who, no what was in front of him? a goddamn predator, that's what!

«well the evidences suggested that, but yes, it was quite the surprise to see that my theory was true. yet again, it's not like i've ever did a mistake.» he told you, his sly smirk shining like the moon above you two in the forest.

«why didn't i make you a meal yet, you would at least shut up.» you grumbled under your breath, unable to believe what your lover just told you. however, the detective heard you and started undoing his shirt just as much as to expose his neck for you.

«ha, i was hoping for this request of yours.» he murmured as you blushed, looking away from the exposed skin of his neck. however his hands found your face once again, turning your head in his direction and pulling it in the crook of his neck. «c'mon cutie, bite. surely you weren't done when i stepped out, were you?»

for how much you hated to admit it, he was right. your thirst was still there and having your nose pressed against his skin while in such state, something you always made sure wouldn't happen as to not trigger your instincts, wasn't helping at all. before you could even think about it your lips were already kissing his smooth skin, searching for his pulse.

«it will hurt.» you told him once you found it, your hands on his shoulders, his on your waist. he nodded and bent his head to the side more, a silent permission for you to go on.

a moan escaped your lover's lips as soon as your fangs sank, head getting dizzy and vision blurring as you sucked his blood out of his system. a few gulps and you were done, but stayed still on his neck, licking his wound clean to help it heal up, since your saliva had healing properties.

such move only earned you another moan from your boyfriend, that was on top of you as you laid on the ground, both your eyes clouded in a familiar haze of desire.

«willing humans make a better option than poor kitsune, don't you think? it also spares you the wrath of the shogun and of lady guuji.» he whispered, his hands in yours, fingers intertwined.

you knew what he meant and you nodded before your lips met in a kiss. it didn't matter it tasted of blood, he would have gotten used to it.

after all, you needed to feed, and what better way than in your boyfriend's arms, in your shared bedroom lit by the moonlight?

「 "𝐚𝐡, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐩…"」

— in which you kiss him ... accidentally, and indirectly.

𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃 — kazuha, gaming, FREMINET, THOMA, KAVEH, chongyun, gorou

— "Ah, wrong cup."

It's a warm morning, yet the shade of the light canopy of trees provides ample comfort. At your words, however, the amicable conversation halts. Gingerly, you place his cup back on its saucer, uttering a quiet apology. "Sorry, sorry..."

Ugh, a quiet moment with someone you'd been pining after for ages, and you likely just sabotaged any chance you had. Making someone uncomfortable is surely not a way to have someone fall head over heels for you. You cautiously glanced upwards, catching the sight of... something you didn't expect...!?

He hid in his hand, raised and flush against his face. It was rather insufficient in the whole "hiding" department, however, for you could still clearly see the fluster on his features and the red cast across the tips of his ears. Just above the cover of his fingers were his eyes, hurriedly averted from yours. His mouth was slightly ajar, but in the moments that passed, his lips moved to form whispers you couldn't quite catch.

You stood, frantic. Really, every one of your plans was going awry. "I'm sorry! I, I'll go get you a new cup-"

"He caught his hand in his before you could fully depart, clutching it tightly. His usually cool skin was warm. "N, No, I- It's fine..."

He watched your face brighten with relief as you sat back down, completely cheery again, and released a breath quietly.

Ah, how was he supposed to tell you that the mere sight of your lips touching where he had put his made his heart skip a beat?

— It simply wasn't fair.

𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 — HEIZOU, KAEYA, CHILDE, venti, ayato, LYNEY

— "Wait, let me try..."

Word had gotten around of a new drink, supposedly "the best in all of teyvat"... naturally, that called for a timely visit. It didn't exactly matter who you went with, though who were you fooling, it did, and he'd been the first one that came to mind when you were drafting a letter. Now, he stood by your side, leisurely swinging his arms while he walked and smiling smugly.

The reason? The moment you reached into your pocket to fish out your wallet to pay the fee for two drinks, you'd found your pockets empty, and that's where he had swooped in, graciously handing over his mora instead. The moment the two of you exited the vicinity of the drink stall, however, he somehow materialized your wallet once more and placed it in your hands with a cat-like grin. That little... you'd be sure to treat him to a meal sometime soon, a favor like that couldn't just be gone unpaid.

...That, and it was a convenient excuse to spend another outing with him.

"Hey, you got the limited edition flavor? C'mon, give me just a sip..." You beamed when he handed said drink down towards you, taking a sip from his straw — until you realized just what you'd done, of course.

It wasn't like it was something dire, not by any means. You were rather the romantic, and the fact that... well, hadn't the two of you just kissed indirectly?

You didn't voice your thoughts, only meekly retreated after handing the bottle back to him, growing even more flustered when your fingers brushed against his in the process. He seemed to hear them, however, and a smirk made its way onto his lips.

"Oh, don't tell me you were aiming for an indirect kiss all along?"

"W- No!" Ugh, that twinkle in his eyes was dangerous. It's easy to see that he doesn't believe you in the slightest. Yet, before you can dispense another rebuttal, he reaches a hand up to your hair and makes a mess of it.

— "Aha, who knew you were so sly~"

𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 — alhaitham, XIAO, albedo, diluc, neuvillette

— "Is something wrong?"

Well, not exactly "wrong", per se. Instead, there was definitely something wrong with you in particular.

The situation started off like any other would. You found the man in his usual place, and greeted him with a smile, to which he nodded in response. He was a busy person, so you'd decided to take the initiative and make him a boxed lunch, only planning to give it to him and then let him carry on with whatever tasks he needed to complete — only... hey, wasn't it too out of character of him to ask you to feed him??

He glanced up at you, his head subconsciously tilting to the side. Just with that simple movement, a figurative arrow struck your heart. "If it's too much trouble, nevermind-"

You awkwardly coughed into your fist, trying to disperse any awfully hopeful thoughts of "hey, isn't this so romantic!?" in your head — yearning for him was one thing, but projecting your imagination of him would be another entirely. "No, it's fine- I was just caught off guard, is all..." At this point, you were more so convincing yourself than him. You dipped your head in a nod to yourself. Of course, he was so swamped with duties that he couldn't spare the time to feed himself, that was the case, wasn't it?

"Here, open wide..." You took a portion of the food and lifted it up to his lips, and he ate it agreeably. Hamster. He's like a hamster, a thought you really shouldn't be having considering how his disposition was, but seeing him swiftly chewing the portion in his cheeks... you cleared your throat, only to flinch with a start upon realizing he'd taken the utensils from you. Now, he held some of the lunch up to you, gesturing it to your mouth.

"Eh, but this is for you-" You declined, yet the insistence in his gaze only grew.

"You brought it for me, so you should have some as well."

"Well... alright," not willing to bother with an argument you were not likely to win, you ate what he hovered before you gratefully, trying to ignore the way he was staring at you as you ate.

W, Wait, hold on, isn't that the same cutlery he used-

"Your face is red. Did you choke? Here, let me-"

"No, it's just that- we, just now- ah, it's nothing."

— "Mhm."
