[withloveajaxx]

hi! congratulations on 500 followers! thank you for sharing your writing with us, they make me feel warm and happy :3 for your event may i request aster, calla lily, and gardenia with xiao? thank you and congratulations again!

❁ prompt/s: "of course i noticed. i notice everything about you." + "wow… you look amazing…" + "the world is lucky to have you." + xiso

❁ warnings: none

❁ summary: xiao knows he isn't the best when it comes to words. but he still tires anyways.

❁ note: HI ANON TYSM FOR ENJOYING MY WORKS ILY HUHU T-T. this is a bit shorter than my usual fics since it's only 500 smthg words :"D but i hope you still enjoy this nonnie ^^ please remember to take care always and have an absolutely amazing day mwah <33

xiao had never been the best with words. despite being in a relationship with you for what he considered to be a fairly long time, he still struggled to say things a normal person could so easily speak. 

he means to compliment you, to tell you how much he loves you and enumerate all the reasons why, but the affectionate words always seem to get caught up in his throat, never truly being able to get them out. he envies how other people compliment and are able to speak to you so freely and easily, even if they weren’t someone you were particularly close to. 

he knows he has to be better for you. he wants to be better at verbally expressing his feelings for you, knowing just how happy it would make you.

(more utc!)

so, xiao decides to act on his desire. 

he somehow musters the courage to ask you out on a date, knowing how you could use this to unwind and spend some time with him. his cheeks were flaming red. he could barely meet your eyes, and he might have stammered over his words a bit, but with the bright smile you give him, he deemed the embarrassment well worth it. 

when he meets with you for the date, he vows to try and grace you with as much compliments as he can manage, no matter how flustered he gets. he swears he's asked zhongli for some basic compliments and he's already had some of them on the tip of his tongue.

but the moment he sees you, his mind goes blank. his mouth is dry and the words he had ready for you disappeared in mere seconds with how stunning you looked. 

"wow…" xiao says, his mind unable to grapple and form coherent words. his warm eyes glance at you from head to toe in what you could clearly tell was adoration. "you look amazing…"

your cheeks flare at the sudden compliment. "why thank you, xiao," you reply, a wide smile making its way onto your features.

"is that new?" he asks suddenly, gesturing to your outfit. taken aback by his keen observance you can only nod.

"it is actually. i'm surprised you noticed." 

"of course i noticed. i notice everything about you," the adeptus states firmly, cheeks growing as dark as yours at his bold proclamation. 

"you're rather wordy today." you chuckle as you both start to walk towards liyue, the back of his hand ever so slightly brushing against your own. "what's up?"

xiao is silent for a few moments. he was never quite good with his feelings either so finding the words to describe how he felt, what his intentions were was proving to be quite the challenge for him. 

"nothing." he keeps his eyes forward as you two walk, figure tense. "it's just… the world is lucky to have you. i'm lucky to have you. i don't say things to make it obvious, but i supposed i could try."

xiao didn't need to look at you to sense the beaming smile on your features in response to his words. 

he feels himself relax when you intertwine your hands with his. a wave of relief crashes into him when you give his hand a reassuring and gentle squeeze as you two continue to trek along the path leading to the city. 

"your effort is all i could ever ask for. it's more than enough for me."

HII CONGRATS ON 500!!!!!! dsurved frfr ANWAYAYWYAYWYAY

for the eveeeeent can i request a oneshot for ajax/childe ? *hands out amaryllis to you*

❁ prompt/s: "it's always my fault isn't it?" + childe

❁ warnings: slightly ooc childe :"D, angst, him leaving without telling you.

❁ summary: childe loves loving you. he always has and always will. but he hates being the reason why you're hurting.

❁ note: idk what the fuck i just conjured up in my brain. IM SO SORRY THIS IS BEING POSTED SO LATE NONNIE HUHUHU I HOPE THIS IS UP TO YOUR STANDARDS THOUGH :"D. lowkey tempted to make a part two bc ik this ooc and childe would never do this but eh i'll see. for now, please enjoy some very long overdue angst mwah <33

childe can't imagine a life without you. he can't fathom his life without the warmth of your touch, tending to his wounds whenever he came home injured. he always looks forward to seeing you after long missions far away, a joyous smile stretching upon his lips when he catches a glimpse of your figure awaiting him at the harbor. 

he loves his life with you. he could never deny such a thing. you've always made him feel nothing but happiness and love, and as a harbinger living through such a cruel life of violence and darkness, it was all he could ever ask for. 

but behind all the happiness in your relationship, there's an undeniable truth childe knows he has to face. despite everything, he knows he hurts you in ways unimaginable. 

(more utc!)

at the times he's away for months and months on end, you both send letters to each other. he never fails to notice the small and often times frequent ink stains on some of the words written across the crisp paper. childe could only imagine how much it pained you for him to be away for so long. his mind could only conjure images of your head buried in your hands, pressing your palms against your eyelids in an attempt to stop or catch the tears that threaten to poor endlessly from your eyes.

he never ceases to notice the way your lips wobble, your voice uneven and shaky when you ask him about how he's managed to injure himself so badly on nights he returns home from missions or battles. he's witnessed this sight many times, and he witnesses it again at this moment. 

he's lost count of how many times you've taken care of him like this. time and time again he finds his mouth go dry, his mind blanking for words to say as he watches you try to hold your tears back as you peer up at him. 

when you're done patching him up, childe is still astounded at how you still manage to peck his lips with the love you've never failed to show him since day one. after all this time, how do you still put up with him? how do you tolerate and love him unconditionally after all the times he's brought you so much pain? 

childe is helpless as he lets these millions of thoughts and questions run through his head, eyes clouded with an unfamiliar pain whilst he watches you retreat to your shared bedroom slowly. 

he lets a conflicted sigh fall from his lips, burying his face in his still dirtied and gloved hands. for once, childe doesn't know how to help you. he has not a single clue on how to make it seem like everything is fine, as if everything will get better.

for what he contemplates could be the last time, childe trudges defeatedly through the bedroom door. his feet are light against the wooden floorboards, movements as quiet as ever as to not wake you from your sleep.

he no longer sits himself down in his usual spot on the bed. instead, he kneels at the side of the bed, right in front of your resting figure. taking his gloves off, he brushes the strands of hair out of your face with his clean hand to take a good and proper look at your features.

even in your sleep, your eyebrows are creased in what seems to be worry or stress. for what is supposedly a moment of relaxation, your lips are drawn in a thin line, body tense and taut as you lay in bed.

"you're always so stressed these days, aren't you?" childe asks, even if he knew very well that you couldn't hear him. "and it's always my fault isn't it?" 

almost instinctively, he smooths the creases that form on your forehead, trailing his fingers down to caress the deep bags of your eyes and the evident frown on your lips before finally cupping your cheek.

there's a sad smile that stretches onto his handsome features when you unconsciously lean your head towards the familiar warmth of his hand. thankfully, you don't stir, only releasing a content sigh before resting comfortably once again.

oh how he was going to miss this.

with one last sweet and lingering peck to your cheek as well as an aching heart, childe whispers a heartfelt and genuine "i love you," before standing from his spot by the bed.

he hates what he's about to do. he'd never want to leave you. all he wishes is to be held and to be loved by you and only you. but hurting you, the one person who's ever loved him so wholly, was something he hated more. 

his heart ached and weighed heavy against his chest when he walked out the door with no intention of coming back. but realizing it could never sting more than knowingly hurting you, he thinks he'll be okay.

he'll do anything to take your pain away after all. even if it meant putting himself far far away from you.

Hello^^ Can I request aster, tansy, and edelweiss with Diluc please?

Thank you!

❁ prompt/s: "of course i noticed. i notice everything about you." + "i won't let anything happen to you." + "you'll always have me." + diluc

❁ warnings: brief mentions of nightmares but nothing too graphic or specific.

❁ summary: after countless of sleepless nights filled with nothing but nightmares, diluc coaxes you to sleep.

❁ note: hello anon!! so sorry again for requesting this late but here's your fic <33 i made it very soft comfort so i hope you don't mind hehe. anyways, enjoy and i hope you have a wonderful day ^^

you sigh as another sleepless night continues to dawn over your figure. currently, you laid still on your shared bed as your significant other, master diluc ragnvindr, fell sound asleep by your side. 

nightmares have been plaguing your mind lately, the horrible images in your dreams replaying every time your eyes close for a split second. you never wanted to tell diluc about it, knowing that he's been extremely busy for the past few days. in fact, this is the first time he's actually gone to bed with you for what seemed like an eternity. 

turning to face him, you brush stray pieces of his crimson hair away from his face. his features were peaceful, the worried and stressed creases along his forehead finally gone as his eyes close in a dreamless slumber. you didn't have the heart to disturb his rest when he looked so relaxed after long and endless days of hard work. 

(more utc)

letting out a quiet sigh, you decide to carefully creep out of bed and tiptoe into the kitchen. perhaps a nice glass of water would help ease your thoughts and quell your worries. 

now with your glass of water, you sit at the wooden table and mindlessly stare into open space. time was something that slipped your mind as you remained seated at the dining table, glass only half empty as you blink absentmindedly. if it weren't for diluc's drowsy figure coming into your view, you probably would've stayed there until sunrise. 

despite the exhaustion that weighs down his figure, diluc still manages to take a seat beside you. he rubs his eyes in an attempt to rid of the sleep before beginning to speak in a hoarse voice. 

"it's odd for you to be up this early in the morning, my love," he comments, raking a hand through his tangled locks. you can't help but chuckle at his statement. 

"can't say the same thing for you." your little joke causes a tired smile to stretch upon diluc's lips. "you seemed fast asleep earlier though, why're you up?" 

"the bed was strangely cold without you and i simply wondered where you went, so i got up to find you." he finally takes a good look at you, his hands coming up to thumb the deep bags that had formed underneath your eyes. "how about you? you've been looking rather tired these days. you should refrain from being up at these times." 

your heart practically melts at his concern, leaning into his warm touch as you reply with, "oh? you noticed?" 

"of course i noticed. i notice everything about you," diluc mutters, his thumb now running across your cheek. "would you like to tell me what's been bothering you?" 

"well… i haven't been having peaceful nights lately. i don't know why but i've been having nightmares a lot," you confess, allowing your eyes to close for a moment as diluc continues to hold your face in his hands. "truthfully, it's scared and now i don't want to go to sleep." 

"i see. i apologize for not being home at night more often these days to comfort you." his voice is laced with sincerity and concern as he gently tugs you up and out of your chair. "however, now that i am here, why don't we try going to bed?" 

diluc wordlessly senses your hesitancy with the way your body tenses slightly at his suggestion. in an attempt to calm you, he wraps an arm around your waist, gently cradling your head to his chest as he plants a kiss to the crown of your head. 

"i'm here now," diluc mutters against your head of hair. "nothing will hurt you, i can promise you that, my love. i won't let anything happen to you." 

it is only when you nod against his sturdy chest that diluc guides you back to your shared bed, allowing you to crawl into his arms and get into a comfortable position. you can't help but feel yourself relax as you bask in diluc's comforting hold. nothing but his scent and comfort surrounded your senses, causing the exhaustion from the past days to finally take over. 

you can no longer keep your eyes from closing and you are on the brink of falling asleep when diluc hears you mutter, "thank you, diluc." 

"you don't need to thank me, darling," he replies, one of his hands smoothing out your hair as you bury your head in his chest. "you'll always have me."

Hiya! Could I order a bouquet of diluc asters? He seems like a shy person and doesn't think the reader would notice him, especially when there are so many other people they could love. Thank you in advance! (even if this one isn't picked)

❁ prompt/s: "of course i noticed. i notice everything about you." + diluc

❁ warnings: one mention of alcohol

❁ summary: diluc asks you to mix a drink from him and you remember his distaste for alcohol.

❁ note: i am,,, so sorry,,, for whatever the fuck this is LMFAO. um i didn't know how to end it so its kinda eh :"D. not the best work but yeah, enjoy some diluc crumbs u diluc kisses <3

diluc is one of mondstadt's most infamous individuals. contrary to his fiery vision, the cold aura that constantly surrounds him is enough to keep any normal citizen from constantly approaching him. no one knows exactly how it happened, but they believe it was a miracle that you had gotten extremely close to mondstadt's darknight hero. 

people would frequently see diluc accompanying you around the breezy streets of mondstadt, at the tavern, or at times to your own home. uncharacteristically, his features soften when they find you around him. it wasn't hard to notice the way his eyes gleamed with an unfamiliar fondness, cheeks a light shade of pink as his lips turn upwards into a small, almost unnoticeable smile whenever his eyes landed on your figure. 

(more utc)

it was clear to practically everyone that diluc had a soft spot for you, which was why when you asked him for a job at the tavern, he simply could not resist. in fact, he insisted that he'd teach you how to mix some of the easier drinks on the menu just to get you started. 

so now here you are at the late hours of the night. angel's share is empty, the once lively place now silent since the crowd of drunkards have already gone home. you are only left with diluc himself, since he did say he would teach you how to mix some drinks for your job after all. 

"alright then, come over here." diluc finishes up with cleaning the bar and countertop, gesturing you to make your way behind the bar. "i'll teach you the basics first, then we can move on from there." 

once you're positioned beside him, he doesn't hesitate to give a simple demonstration of some of the items on the menu. however, when it came to guiding you, you could sense the hesitancy in his actions. 

whenever you were holding or doing something wrong, diluc would try to verbally correct you. when that didn't seem to work, he stepped behind you, warm hands hovering over yours as his chest pressed slightly against your back. he prayed to god you couldn't feel how his heart thundered against his chest. 

"you can touch me, y'know?" you chuckle lightheartedly, trying to ease the obvious tension in diluc's body. your cheeks immediately flare up once his hands finally land on yours. gently hold your own, guiding you through the movements of shaking a particular drink. 

your mind barely registers the instructions and advice diluc speaks. it's only able to focus on the slightly uneven breathing you feel against your back, the way diluc's warm breath barely fans your ear whenever he speaks. you also can’t help but notice how his hands handle and guide your own with nothing but gentleness and care despite the rough nature everyone claims he has. 

you are only snapped out of this trance at the absence of diluc's warmth, turning to him to notice that he'd returned to his previous place by your side.

"did you get that?" he asks, clearing his throat in an attempt to dispel the light blush evident on his cheeks. you were tempted to sheepishly admit you weren’t listening, just to get a sliver of a chance to feel diluc’s warmth against your skin once more. however, it was getting late, and you’d hate to keep the wine master working for much longer than he was supposed to be so you nod dumbly to his question. 

“yeah, i got it.” 

“good.” diluc makes his way to the counter, taking a seat on one of the bar stools opposite you. “just to gauge your skills, make me any drink,” he states. “although, may i request for no alco—”

“no alcohol.” you cut him off with a small smile and laugh as the latter’s eyes widen slightly. “you aren’t quite fond of alcohol after all, no?” 

“you noticed?” he asks, clearly shocked that you had managed to remember something so miniscule about him. 

“of course i noticed.” your smile widens significantly as the color on diluc’s cheeks return in full force, his eyes averting to avoid yours at your next words. “i notice everything about you.”

ALSO CONGRATS ON 500 GARY!! May I request a purple hyacinth + Childe(oneshot) + comfort for your event please? Thank youuu

❁ prompt/s: "just tell me what i can do to make you feel better." + childe

❁ warnings: none

❁ summary: after a long and tiring day, you return home to childe. there's no better remedy than his affection and love.

❁ note: AAAAAA SIN TYSM FOR YOUR REQUEST <33 ik it took me pretty long to write this but i hope this is to your liking ^^ not exactly my best childe work but yeah ENJOY CHILDE KISSERS MWAH

the sky bleeds a wonderful shade of orange as the bright sun starts to set below liyue's horizon and childe feels a wide smile spread onto his features as his feet bring him ever so closer to your shared home. it was rare for him to get home before sunset and he was looking forward to the full night he was about to spend with you. 

his spirits dampen a little however when he sees that all the lights in the house are out, darkness casting over the interior that could be seen through the window. he had hoped you'd be home by now. it would've been incredible to be greeted by your warm and loving embrace, but he still doesn't complain. afterall, this all but gives him the chance to surprise you with a lovely dinner when you get home. 

once he steps foot into the home, he freshens up before starting on a warm course for the chilly night that settles over liyue. and by the time he's set the plates of food on the dining table, the door creaked open upon your arrival. 

a smile instinctively makes its way to his features, and he's quickly undoing his apron to greet you. you don't give him any time to approach the doorway before your head is burying itself in his chest, arms circling his waist tightly. 

"woah, hello there to you too, sweetheart," he chuckles heartily, his own arms coming to wrap around your figure to return your embrace. "a little eager today are we?" 

only a heavy silence greets him, your fists coming to grip the back of his shirt lightly. it's then when he picks up on your dwindling mood, brows furrowed in confusion and concern as he tries to hold you at arms length to get a clean look of your features, to detect any sign of tears, anger, sadness, anything. 

he doesn't get to however when you simply tighten your grip on his shirt. your hold on him tightened, desperate, as if your grip was to stable you. you held onto him as if to ground you to earth, as if your life depended on it. it broke him. 

he settles for bringing you over to the couch, lips instinctively connecting with the top of your head as he adjusts you accordingly in his arms. he no longer attempts to glimpse at your face, doesn't ask you to lift your head from his chest. he does nothing but rake his fingers gently through your strands of hair, hand tracing patterns onto the small of your back. 

"long, tiring day?" he questions. his voice is uncharacteristically soft and muffled as his lips still remain at the crown of your head, only humming again in response when you nod to his question. "well… there's food i prepared. do you feel like eating?" 

at his caring question, you finally lift your head from his chest. how could someone be so caring, so gentle and soft when you were showing such a weak and seemingly ugly side of you? how could he still stay after seeing you like this?

unshed tears shine in your eyes when you look at him. coming home after a terrible day to be greeted by loving hands and affectionate touches, it all brought an indescribable feeling that settles deep within your heart and every fibre of your being.

despite the vulnerability that glimmers in your eyes, childe takes your face in his hands and swipes his thumbs across your cheeks, catching the tears when they eventually fall. despite all the weakness that shows, he still smiles at you with love like no other. 

"y'know, i'm always here to hear you out, right, sweetheart?" he takes a moment to wipe more tears off of your face. "i'll listen to you, try to give you advice, spoon feed you and all that. i'll do anything. just tell me what i can do to make you feel better." 

you chuckle wetly at his words, nuzzling into the warmth and comfort you found in childe's hand. "thank you, childe. but this is enough."

no matter what, if you were with childe, anything was enough. he was enough, and everything was going to be okay.

black dahlia and peony for diluc <3 sorry

❁ prompt/s: "you left me like i was never a reason to stay" & "you always push people away. i just thought you'd never do it to me." + diluc

❁ warnings: angst (mentions of diluc leaving n being emotionally repressed ig)

❁ summary: you don't know what went wrong in your relationship with diluc and you're tired of it.

❁ note: hello there tysm for requesting!! i am sososo sorry i got to this request late but i hope you enjoy this angst :"D have a great day, take care and please enjoy hehe <33

being diluc's significant other requires some sort of patience and understanding. given that diluc is typically more closed off than others, it takes a significant amount of time, trust, and effort for him to let out even a hint of emotions. 

you know that he's more repressed with his emotions, and yet you were still willing to try a relationship with him. you who was so empathetic and compassionate when confronting him, you who would give him all the time in the world to open up to you when he was ready. 

you thought he appreciated it, seeing as it worked for some time. diluc started being more affectionate around you at some point. he'd show signs of vulnerability and exhaustion, burying his head into your neck or your shoulder as his arms gently wrap around your waist. on rare occasions, he'd even invite you to sit on his lap as he basks in the warmth on your presence.

(more utc)

you thought it was getting better, that your relationship was improving bit by bit. those small signs of affection and love sparked hope and faith in you that you would both continue to be together. 

your thoughts were all optimistic and bright until the dark reality loomed over your relationship. you don't know what you had done wrong but diluc had started distancing himself from you. 

you could obviously tell something was wrong, but every time you'd ask, he'd dismiss you as if it was nothing. it no longer seemed like he yearned for the comfort in your touch, longed for the love and care you were always ready to treat him with. he was cold and closed off, nothing like the diluc you had known a few weeks prior. 

you wanted to confront him. you knew you needed to talk this out with him and figure out what the problem was. you were planning to do so if only the latter hadn't completely given up and left you alone at the winery for days on end. 

he was never home when you were, always working either at the tavern or doing his heroic duties. he was actively aboiding both you and the problem for quite some time now and your patience was wearing thin. 

the second you finally get a moment to speak to him, your voice is no longer coated with the sweetness it usually holds. what made your mood dampen was the fact that diluc didn't even look like he cared, his frown deep and face stoic like it had been for how long now. 

"do you want to explain why you're avoiding me?" there's no more beating around the bush as you narrow your eyes at the man who stands before you. a heavy silence envelopes the room as if diluc had either nothing to say or was thinking very carefully about his next words. 

"i've been busy with work," he answers blandly as if you couldn't tell he was lying. his answer was the last straw for you. he's ignored you, pushed you away, and had practically left you in the dark for weeks now. 

you were tired of putting in so much effort when diluc seemed like he didn't care. you've had enough. 

"you know, diluc, you always push people away." you chuckle bitterly and shake your head at how ridiculous the entire situation was. "i just thought you'd never do it to me." 

diluc continues to say nothing, fists balled by his sides as he stares you down. his vermillion eyes burn holes into your already tattered heart and it's in this moment where you decide to give him a taste of his own medicine. 

"you left me, diluc. you left me like i was never a reason to stay." your voice cracks slightly, vision blurring as various emotions threaten to overcome your entire being. "you left me in the dark for god knows how long at this point, and i am honestly sick and tired of it. i'm leaving." 

your words and the slam of the heavy wooden doors are the last things diluc hears before an unbearable silence fills the empty crevices of dawn winery. it's the very last thing his mind registers before the immense regret and guilt settles deep into every fibre in his body. 

you left. you were gone and he wasn't sure if he could get you back.

hi! grats on 500!!! can i get calla lily with kazuha?

❁ prompt/s: “wow… you look… amazing.” + kazuha

❁ warnings: none

❁ summary: kazuha asks you out after the vision hunt decree

❁ note: HELLO LILI TYSMMM <33 i am so so sorry it took me incredibly long to do this request :(( here's some soft kazuha fluff for you, i hope i did this request some justice :"D enjoy reading this and have an amazing day mwah ^^

ever since kazuha had become one of, if not the most wanted person in inazuma, you haven't been able to see his face as often. when you did get the chance to see him, it was always brief, never enough to fully satisfy the ever growing sense of loneliness that settled deep within your heart. 

he'd skillfully sneak into your home once the moon hovered high into the inazuman sky, nothing but the late night silence filling the usually tense air as he spends his precious time holding you close to him and enveloping you in a warmth that you rarely got to enjoy in the past months. his lips whisper sweet nothings, flowery words to the top of your head to help you drift to sleep.

(more utc)

you try to stay up with him, try to catch him as he sneaks back out but you never do. at the first signs of sunlight, despite how much he wants to continue admiring your peaceful features, he knows he has to leave. you can faintly feel his soft lips connect with your forehead but by the time you fully come to your senses, the sun has risen high into the sky. the once warm sheets are now cold, mocking you, a cruel reminder of kazuha's absence. 

in the long spans of time that you couldn't see him, you'd mysteriously receive little letters. his handwriting and stunning poems were easily recognizable to you, never failing to ignite a spark of happiness and fondness despite the trying times. 

the letters described how kazuha wished he could be with you more. in it contained endless promises of quality time and affection once the vision hunt decree had been abolished. 

finally, after what felt like an eternity, the vision hunt decree had finally been lifted from the lands and everything was slowly returning to normalcy. at the first word of the abolishment, you had received another letter from kazuha, asking if you were free to go out and spend some time walking around the city he's dearly missed. who were you to decline?

the day of your little date quickly approaches and you find yourself in your living room, anticipating the casual time you'll get to spend with your lover. at the first sound of a knock, you're already getting up, an uncontainable smile spreading across your features as you throw the door open to be greeted at the wonderful sight of kazuha. 

the moment his eyes land on you, his features soften. there's a small, dreamy smile on his lips as his ruby eyes trail your figure. it's been quite a while since he's seen you so all the air in his lungs, all the words at the tip of his tongue, they're all stolen by your beauty that's presented before him. 

"earth to kazuha," you chuckle as he snaps out of his trance. he stays silent as he approaches your figure, his bandaged hand cupping your cheek as he leans in to brush his lips sweetly against yours. 

"wow…" he mutters. kazuha who always seems to have such an ethereal vocabulary, now seems to have lost all forms of speech as he takes in your appearance and basks in your presence. "you look… amazing." 

your heart flutters, cheeks set aflame at his intimate gestures and simple words. no matter how many times he'd say the same words or look at you the same way, you'd never fully get used to it. 

"so do you," you reply softly. at this, kazuha pecks your lips gently before finally extending his hand out to you in a silent invitation for you to hold it. 

"we've been waiting for a day like this for quite a while now. so, shall we get going, my love?" he asks. both his and your smiles only grow wider as you lace your hand in his. if you had to wait an eternity for this, it was well worth it.

congratulations on 500! tbh u deserve it (more than that), i really love your writings.

So for the event, can u make me a bouquet of red roses with zhongli? it's fine if u don't want to! congrats again! :D

❁ prompt: "i love you for who you are" + zhongli

❁ warnings: mentions of insecurities (being boring/too plain)

❁ summary: you feel a little insecure and zhongli reassures you.

❁ note: AAAAA tysm for this request anon, you're so sweet :(( i hope this one-shot is too your liking <33 zhongli simps here you go, get your food /lh HAHSBDJS.

you were always so grateful to have zhongli as your significant other. he was considerate with his decisions, gentle and patient with his touches, caring for you without so much as a second thought. he was everything you could want and you couldn't be happier. 

although sometimes, you would wonder why he chose someone like you. you were but a normal, standard person living in the city of liyue. there was nothing wrong about you, but everything was too normal in your eyes. too normal to the point where you thought you were boring.

you know about zhongli's past and doings. you were aware he's watched over liyue for thousands of years, seen all kinds of people grow and live their lives. surely he's seen more interesting people with lavish lives and grand happenings. even now, you're sure he knows people who had so much more to them than you. 

when you look at zhongli now as he prepares tea for the two of you, these thoughts start to grow, invading every crevice of your mind. how can someone as amazing as him have picked you? compared to his own background, you were a plain jane, and you endlessly wondered why he had picked you when there was so much better. 

"zhongli," you call out, voice timid and soft. zhongli almost immediately picks up on this almost immediately, tearing his eyes and attention away from the boiling water to look at you. 

"yes, my dearest?" 

"why would you pick me?" at this zhongli's eyebrows furrow. he understands what you're asking but he's clueless as to why you would ask such a thing. wasn't it obvious you were simply incredible in his eyes? 

"i apologize, dear. did i do anything to make you doubt my love for you?" he asks, fearing he might've said or done something to upset you. at his caring nature, you quickly shake your head. 

"no, it isn't anything like that at all, zhongli. it's just," you pause for a minute to try and explain how you felt without sounding so weak. "there are so many other people who are more interesting, who have more to them. aren't i too… boring? there must be other people you know who are better." 

the water finishes boiling just in as you finish your explanation. there's a silence that fills the room as zhongli prepares your usual tea, contemplating on how to reassure you gently. the silence stretches and adds on to the nervous feeling that courses through you, wordlessly watching as zhongli sets both of your tea cups down in front of you. 

"darling," he starts softly, tenderly taking both your hands into his. "no matter how many people there are in the world, none of them would ever compare to you. you are anything but boring and it does not matter to me how other people may act and live their lives." 

at his words, you avert your eyes to your own lap. "do you really mean that?" you ask quietly. zhongli takes your chin in his hands and tilts your head so you peer into the sincere gaze that clouds his amber eyes. 

"of course, dearest. as long as you're in my life, it is interesting enough, and i love it," he declares, sealing his words with a sweet peck to your forehead. "you are all i need and i love you for who you are. try to always keep that in mind, my dear." 

his hands had made its way to cup your face and you can't help but kiss them in gratitude. you really were blessed with such an incredible significant other, huh? 

"i will, zhongli. thank you."

TANSY AND DAINSLEIF PLEASE

❁ prompt/s: "i won't let anything happen to you" + dainsleif

❁ warnings: implications of overworking?? reader is just tired :"D

❁ summary: seeing you tired after days of hard work, dainsleif takes you for a casual stroll and you end up taking a nap under the tree at windrise.

❁ note: when i tell you i hate this one-shot with my whole heart and soul because i don't think i did justice for dainsleif sjcjekckd. i would like to apologize to all dainsleif kissers pls forgive me :"D. but yes, i hope you still enjoy this acco ily mwah <33

dainsleif is a mysterious, curious man who never gets tired of exploring and examining the terrains of mondstadt. often times, he would ask for your company in taking long strolls around the nation. 

the feeling of your hand in his as he takes in the sights and wonders of mondstadt will never get old. he quite thoroughly enjoys the whispers of the wind as small breezes sweep over the land, slightly tousling your hair in a way dainsleif thinks is nothing short of beautiful. 

on some days you would walk far and wide, the sun just about to set when you start trekking back to mondstadt's gates. however, sometimes you would walk a short distance before settling down somewhere for some moments. 

today was one of those days. dainsleif has noticed that you've been working hard at your job these past few days and he's taken you out for a casual stroll at windrise. he doesn't fail to notice the sag in your shoulders or the bags underneath your eyes, so he understands you when you ask if you could both take a rest under the tree that towers over the grass.

"of course, my star," he replies gently, taking your hand to guide you under the shade of the tree. the bough keeper doesn't mind at all when your head leans against his shoulder and your hands toy with his affectionately. 

you talk about everything and nothing at the same time. he asks about what you've been up to or how you've been feeling, allowing your small chatter to fill the air around you. but he also lets a comfortable silence hang between you, opting for tracing patterns on your hands as he leans his head against the trunk of the tree. 

he doesn't miss the yawns that you stifle or the way you tiredly rub your eyes, desperate to keep yourself conscious despite the exhaustion that heavily weighs your eyelids. 

"you can get some rest, love," he tells you, voice soft and hushed as he pats your hand in reassurance. 

"are you sure?" 

he nods and plants a gentle kiss on the crown of your head. "of course. i'll wake you up when the sun starts to set." 

"what if something happens?" you counter, knowing that there were some hilichurls or mobs nearby that could possibly disturb you.

"don't worry about it, my star. there's nothing particularly dangerous that i would not be able to fend off," he reassures you. "besides," he leans his head onto your own this time, "i won't let anything happen to you." 

calmed by his words of reassurance, you finally close your eyes and melt into the warmth of his side, drifting off into a light slumber beside your one and only protector.

Congrats in 500! 🥳🥳🥳 i've been following u for awhile now, and i don't regret it.

If it's fine, can i have a bouquet of two-toned carnation, marigold and yellow rose for either zhongli, diluc, or thoma

pls make it angst as u can

(idk if im doing this right, pls ignore if it's wrong👹im also wondering if we can be mutuals/friend, though im still shy to interact)

❁ prompt/s: "it's okay you can let me go." + "you're as beautiful as the day i lost you." + "you look happier." + thoma

❁ warnings: mentions of character death and grieving/breakdowns

❁ summary: after your passing, thoma sees you in his dream for a final goodbye

❁ note: AAAAA HELLO HELLO THANK YOU SO MUCH <33 i picked out thoma for this one-shot i hope you don't mind ^^ and also dwdw you did this correctly, thank you for this request!! and yes ofc we can be moots givinf you a follow rn hehe

thoma knew it was his fault. he was at fault of his own sleepless nights and restless, tiring days. the fatigue and exhaustion that heavily weighed down on his figure was nothing but his own doing. 

if only he hadn't allowed you to fight in the war against the raiden shogun's army during the vision hunt decree. if he could've just accompanied you through the battles you fought on the terrains of the land of eternity, this wouldn't have happened. your death would not have occured. 

he hadn't gotten any sleep since he was informed of your passing. ever since you were taken from the world, thoma had thrown himself into work, helping those around inazuma in any ways he could after the vision hunt decree ended. 

anyone could tell that thoma was tired. his welcoming and warm smile no longer reached his ears, his voice usually nervous or strained. he was trying so hard to hold on to his composure. but with every second he realizes you were truly gone, he slowly started to slip. 

ayaka had taken notice of his behavior, gently forcing him to take a rest, to take time to properly grieve and accept that you were no longer with him. 

that night ayaka had forced him to rest, he could do nothing but cry. the tears endlessly streamed down his face as he clutched the cold sheets beside him. that night his sobs had knocked him into slumber, his eyes and throat tired from all the crying he had done.

in his slumber however, he is greeted by a dream. he's sat in the komore teahouse, in the same room he was stuck in for a considerable amount of time during the vision hunt decree. 

clearly confused he rises from his seat on the floor until the door gently slides open. his eyes widen when your figure steps into the room, seemingly unharmed and healthy. he doesn't hesitate to barel towards you, immediately burying his head into your neck. 

"hello, my love," you greet him gently. his eyes well up with tears when the familiar feeling of your warm arms return his tight embrace. 

blinking the tears away from his vision, he holds you at arm's length to examine you. "you're as beautiful as the day i lost you," he murmurs tenderly. his hands come up to cup your face gently, voice uncharacteristically soft when he says, "you look happier." 

"well, we did win didn't we? the vision hunt decree has been abolished." you grasp the hands that hold your face. "i couldn't be happier." 

thoma simply smiles and leans down to meet your lips affectionately. he knows this is but a dream. nothing here is going to last, but he's going to make the most out of it. after all, he didn't get to say a proper goodbye. 

thus, you spend your time doing something you two have always enjoyed. it's nothing extraordinary, nothing out of the box, it was an ordinary lunch with a small game of hotpot. 

you spend these moments laughing as thoma coughs up whatever he just swallowed. you allow him to coax you beside him so he could fondly feed you food. you spend your last moments with him basking in happiness and domesticity. 

but alas, all good things must come to an end. you are aware your in thoma's dream, your smile softening as you realize he's about to wake up any time soon. he seems to sense this as well, eyes glistening with deep sorrow. 

"i think you know you have to wake up soon," you mutter, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind his ear. the latter can't help but encase you in a tight hug yet again, his arms tightening around you fully knowing you could disappear at any given moment. 

"will i ever get to see you again?" 

"i don't think so, my love," you reply, heart sinking when you hear him sniffle. "but that's okay. i know you'll always remember me, yeah? so it's okay, thoma, you can let me go."

there's a blinding light that overtakes his vision and he desperately hides his face into your shoulder to block it. he didn't want to leave yet but somehow he knew that everything would be okay. 

"i love you, (y/n)."

"i know, darling. i love you too. now, please, let go.". those were the last words he hears before the bright rays of light shine directly into his face, effectively stirring him awake. 

he chuckles wetly, hiding his tears into the palm of his hands. despite the fresh wave of tears, his heart feels lighter when he recalls your words. 

he could never forget you and the memories you made together, those were always going to live in his mind and heart. but he understood what you were trying to tell him, and even though it would be difficult, he was going to live and slowly let you go.
