#if Kaveh won't look out for himself Tighnari going to have to do it for him honestly

[cynyari]

Tighnari is Kavetham's no.1 hater because he sees how much Kaveh holds Alhaitham's opinion to a high regard even if he won't admit it and that Alhaitham isn't good at communication and he'll eventually say something and Kaveh will jump to some conclusion and spiral and then Tighnari will have to be the one to help his friend out of it afterwards

Cyno is Kavetham's no.2 hater cause he thinks alhitham is a dickhead and doesn't like his ass

[yandere-daydreams]

tw - implied non/con, mentions of physical/psychological abuse, obsessive behavior, delusional thoughts, and kidnapping.

Alhaitham is strict.

He's a man of science. He believes that obedience is something that has to be trained, not taught, and that the only way to properly train any thinking, breathing creature is through the continuous and uniform use of punishment to discourage undesired behavior and with-holding of reward until desired behavior is not only seen, but repeated. His rules are firm and unchanging, and when he catches you, say, hoarding mora underneath a lose floorboard or trying to mail a letter of poorly coded pleas for help to a former peer, he feels no guilt as he wrestles you over his knee and delivers a strike for each spare coin he found in your little collection, each word you wasted on someone other than your loving caretaker. He values your intelligence, and that's why he knows you can live up to his suffocating, but not particularly high expectations. He's strict, but really, it's for your own good.

Kaveh is soft.

As soft as crushed velvet and flower petals and down-stuffed pillows. As soft as crumpled silk and grass on a warm day and his heart, whenever you thread your fingers through his and ask so prettily for him to let you go. His greatest in the world is to make you happy, and it pains him to know that, so long as he continues to be so selfish with your affection, you won't be. He'd do anything for you - bring you gems and flowers from each distant corner of the world, dedicate himself entirely to your every whim and desire, carve his own heart from his chest and lay it at your feet - but he knows you truly want is out of his reach. Kaveh is soft - soft enough that, no matter how much it hurts him to see you suffering, he knows the pain of letting you go would destroy him entirely.

Cyno is sweet.

Even if he will admit to taking a certain amount of satisfaction bringing the cruel blade of justice down on those who've earned it most, he's not a sadist, and you've done little in your life to deserve anyone's cruelty. When he does have to hurt you, it's done with remorse, and when he has no reason to, he does not often pretend he has any desire to find one. His affection is silent, but sickeningly apparent. It's expressed through rose blossoms left on your bedside table, trinkets that made him think of you tucked into the pockets of your clothes, the phantom of his lips against your neck - never quite making contact but never drifting away, either. He holds you when you cry, despite being the reason for your distress, and when you beg him for space, he never seems to go very far. He's sweet, even if the tenderness of his love is lost on you.

Tighnari is subtle.

He knows who he is. He knows how he feels about you. He knows that, if he were to chain you up in his hut and do every terrible thing he's imagined, it'd be less than a full hour until you were liberated from his loving embrace and his head was liberated from his shoulders. He has to be more careful than that, more discrete, even if it means spending the better part of one of his few days off piecing together a mix of herbs and serums tasteless enough to be slipped into water and strong enough to ensure you won't wake up the first time he drives his fangs into your skin. Even his more daring moments are limited to a hand ghosted over the small of your back, a strange insistence that he should be the one to look after you when your strange, unnamable illness resurfaces and you inevitably need a professional's time and care. He's subtle - so much so that even you won't know just much he's willing to do to love you.

[anantaru]

— biting them affectionately

including alhaitham, kaveh, scaramouche, heizou, tighnari, albedo, kazuha, cyno x gn! reader

꒰ genre ꒱ — fluff, crack, this is so random

alhaitham, who will be at loss of words at first— while, keep in mind, it wasn't easy to get the scribe speechless like that, regardless of how he was never bitten in his life. however, he told himself to never question whenever you'd do anything like that, so for one, he'd simply look at you confused and irritated, before asking you with a stern and stoic blush on his cheeks, "why?" it's not like he doesn't know, but for some reason did he find it quite amusing whenever you'd explain yourself over such little, hilarious things. but, when you decide to bite him again, without answering, he'd just ignore you and keep reading his book.

one might think kaveh will act slightly different than alhaitham, but he's equally confused yet the moment you bite him he'd let out a yell, animalistic, one overly dramatic scream of fake pain, channeling his vocal chords to their fullest extent. "what was that for?!" he whines, rubbing the pulsing red spot on his shoulder, "i just love you." you smile and now, again, he finds himself seeing you as the most adorable thing to ever exist. discernibly did you sense your precious chance of biting him many more times, only faintly, but strong enough to have your boyfriend whine and airily laugh before engaging in a playful fight with you.

if you think scaramouche won't bite you back, you're one naive and wide-eyed individual. this man also doesn't hold back, he'll give it his all to win what you have started. don't be upset when he starts biting you heavier than you do, he sees it as a serious showdown now. "don't go running off now." you're not admitting defeat yet, he fears, but you will, he's sure of it. by now, he has you caged in between his arms while a breezing pain in your belly began to expel, from all the sweet and heavy laughing and cheering. whether or not you will win was long since in the back of your head, what counted was seeing kuni engage in something silly for once, and having a great time at that.

heizou's quick and precise thinking skills were deeply needed in the predicament you both found yourself in. one minute you were lazily cuddling and kissing under the silken sheets before you decided to bite him out of nowhere, not hard, but impressionable. specifically against his neck where he was the most sensitive, "augh." he growls before looking at you, somewhat intrigued, "that came out of nowhere." he huffs, and in some strange way was he already beginning to plan his bloody revenge on you, pulling you on your back before dragging your hands over your head, so you're out of commission, so it's him who can decide where to give you a taste of your own medicine.

at the outset, tighnari thought a random bug bit him out of nowhere, he couldn't even fathom that it was you biting him out of the blue. "wait." he stops the work on his desk, tilting his head to the side where you were comfortably seated in, eagerly, awaiting a response, "was that you?" you can feel the sass in his full sentence as it spread through the seconds of silence before your answer goes right through, "nope." someone must give you an award for keeping your laugh in like that, especially when it was burning and bristling inwardly, "a bug." you shrug, "no, it's you." assuming you're playing mind tricks, he catches the smirk on your lips, "dangerous territory." he coos, the bite mark on his shoulder matches your teeth and thanks to closer inspection he confirms his suspicions. well, good luck to you.

it's not out of the ordinary for albedo to question something insignificant and random a little too deep. "how interesting." he rests his chin against his palm, "is this considered normal amongst humans?" a glittering, infectious smile pulls itself around your lips when he quizzes you on it, over and over, and you settle to do it again without responding, shortly gnawing down on his shoulder, "for me it is." while ruffling his hair until it was practically falling out of the small ponytail, "i see." albedo drags you closer, "should i return it?" by the look of things, this might become a daily occurrence now.

"oh?" kazuha brushes over his arm, holding eye contact, "you're strong." and feigns the heavy proudness in his voice. in actuality, he barely felt your teeth dig into his flesh, but he found the noises you made beyond cute, kind of high pitched within its hilarity. all and all, was this just one of the many things he fell in love with when it came to you and his face lights up in delight and interest when he notices the transparent joy on your lips. there's an almost imperceptible happiness across his entire skin, sparking at the outline of his jaw and littering in his eyes, "now." he slants forward, getting his point across, "my turn!"

quite frankly, did your boyfriend cyno get the impression that you were actually mad at him at first, alas why you decided to bite his cheek right after hugging him, that's the hypothesis of the day. turns out you weren't, shocker, but he rubs the squishy flesh before questioning it— with you, naturally responding right away, "it's because i love you." you assure him, "so you can see it as an act of love." and jokingly bite him again, this time slightly lighter and only a bit, emphasizing your point. after carefully thinking about it more upfront, cyno finds himself enjoying it and doesn't mind when you bite him as much as you see fit, as long as you're happy that is.

♡ leeches and lost puppies ♡

-> when the genshin men act clingy towards you

fluff with a little bit of angst!

lyneira's 1.2k milestone event

They're the type to be clingy when...

...they get jealous

Scaramouche, Childe, Heizou, Kaeya

If they see anyone attempting to get close to you or looking at you in a more-than friendly manner, then OH these boys will be HANDSY. (After dealing with the offender) They'll leave their hand on your shoulder, your waist, or your hip, and pull you in close to them, and hold you like this for as long as they are with you. They won't be afraid to plant kisses up and down your neck, shoulder, and jaw while he's at it too.

He'll do anything to tell others to back off because you're already taken by him.

...they've missed you so much

Alhaitham, Ayato, Tighnari, Albedo, Xiao

"Clingy" isn't really in their vocabulary, but during the times you've been away for a while, they'll show how much they've missed you by almost never leaving your side, following you around like a lost puppy.

Going to the kitchen for a snack? Well, they're suddenly hungry and will go with you too. Going out to get some groceries? He'll offer to come with you help you carry the bags. Reading a book? He'll grab one to read and sit beside you. Even if you two aren't speaking and are simply doing your own things, he'll want to be wherever you are. Your presence alone is enough to make him happy.

I think they'd also give you more kisses than usual as well: kissing you when you arrive home, kissing you before he leaves, or simply kissing you out of nowhere to enjoy the look of surprise on your face.

...they want comfort

Kaveh, Cyno, Diluc

After a long day of work, he'll come home and would immediately go to hug you from behind, clinging to your waist as he nuzzles his face into your back. Hugging you like this eases him, and with your warm hand holding his arms wrapped around you and leaning into his touch, all of his stress would begin to wash away.

Kaveh would totally be the type to vent about his day, then leaving kisses up and down your back as he tells you how much you ease his mind and how much he adores you. His adoration will only skyrocket if you choose to turn him around and return his flurry of kisses. At this point, he'd come to an epiphany; Instead of drowning in his sorrows, he'd rather drown in you.

On the other hand, I see Cyno and Diluc being the type to hug you in silence, simply relishing the feeling of you in his arms and calming himself as he listens to your heartbeat.

They'd stay like this for a while. You are his source of comfort, both physically and emotionally, so of course he'd cling onto you when he's had a rough day.

...they think of ever losing you

Dainsleif, Zhongli

When they think of how there will eventually come a time where you will no longer be there with him, it pains him extraordinarily. He doesn't want to think of such thoughts, yet, he knows that he must understand the reality of it.

Like the previous category, he'll also hug you out of nowhere, embracing you so tightly that you could feel the pounding of his heart against his chest and deeply inhaling your scent that he so adores. He'll keep you in his arms for the longest time without saying a word. There would be no need for words to tell you that he desperately needed to hold you, to shield you in his arms and protect you, wishing that his embrace could keep you safe and sound with him for the eternity he'll have to live for.

He doesn't want to let you go, so let him enjoy the remaining time he has with you.

...they crave your affection

Baizhu, Gorou, Kazuha, Thoma

They'd be a shy and romantic type of clingy, wanting more of your touch, wanting to be held by you, and wanting more of your love, but being hesitant to ask for it directly. They wouldn't want you to see them as needy and end up warding you off as a result.

So they'll attempt to be subtle with their desire, extending his hand out you when you're in a crowd, brushing off a strand of hair that may be in your face, gently holding the small of your back as you two walk, and finding any other opportunity to touch you in a helpful or kind manner for as long as he can.

It's when you finally return his affections will he feel free to be more forward with his own. When you'd place your on hand on his, or cup his cheek, he will immediately melt into your touch, holding your hand tighter or taking your cupped hand and kissing your palm.

Play with their hair, dance your fingers on his skin, caress his cheeks, do anything to show your affection for him and he'll fold so easily for you, further begging you for it by reciprocating your actions and maybe even more 🤭

they're just clingy IN GENERAL

Venti, Itto

They hold a lot of love for you and it SHOWS. It'll be a complete combination of all categories up to this point. If you leave the room, it doesn't matter where you're going, he's going with you. He wants to be close to you and will want to have his hands on you nearly the entire time. Heck, he will literally cling onto you like a leech, clinging onto your arm or waist. He's not planning on leaving your side or letting you go anytime soon.

Brace yourself because he'll also talk your ear off at the same time too, either by talking about some random thing, complimenting you in the weirdest of ways, or telling you the cheesiest of pick-up lines.

Like, I see Itto suddenly pulling out an onikabuto from his pocket to gift you, saying, "My love for you is like this Onikabuto- big and impossible to break 😌". On the other hand, I think Venti would be much smoother and Shakespearean with his words tbh lol

You'll also catch them staring at you for long periods of time and when you call them out on it, they'll simply respond, "Can you blame me? It's hard not to stare when you're just too beautiful" and would give you a cheeky wink.

[dootdootwriting]

hii can you do where like the genshin impact boys lovers are like taller than them?

featuring: albedo, alhaitham, ayato, baizhu, cyno, diluc, gorou, itto, kazuha, kaeya, kaveh, tighnari, venti, xiao, zhongli, (separate) tw: light foul language (scattered throughout), mention of violence/fighting (childe), mention of chronic pain/illness (baizhu), haitham is autistic because yeah. type: fluff, sfw, hcs reader: tall, gn, no pronouns, no use of y/n a/n: i was GOING to do literally all of them but i gave up after tighnari sorry i just did NOT have it in me. if you want hcs of this same scenario with different characters, do feel free to request that!

also not using canon heights for this bc they don't . make sense to me so you get mY HEADCANONS. (close to canon at least i promise)

ALBEDO

not hard to be taller than him tbh, he's like 5'4

i can't see him particularly caring about height in an s/o, rather just personality. if he likes you, he likes you and that's really it, you could look like just about anything

you could be three feet tall and he wouldn't care as long as you were understanding about the unholy hours of the night he has to stay up to in order to do his work

he won't deny the fact that dating someone tall has its advantages, though.

for one example, he finds it particularly difficult when an ingredient he's trying to get to is too far up for him to reach

and yes, he could just summon his geo flower and have it elevator his ass up the tree or whatever, but it's so much more convenient AND so much more comfortable to just have you pick him up so he can get higher

also, it's insanely hot

probably would be into it

DILUC

he's probably just a bit taller than average, i'd place him at about 6' or so

so it's not rare that he meets someone taller than him, it just doesn't happen every day

has no qualms about your height other than he finds it slightly annoying to look up at you when you're having a conversation

it's hard to be intimidating when the person you're talking to is looking down at you with an adoring smile, as you can understand.

other than that, if need be, he has the winery mansion adjusted to suit you

just some basic things like carving a bit out of a doorframe if you're prone to bumping your head on things. nothing too drastic

KAEYA

thinks it's hot

he's kind of a slut for people taller than him, i think. or just a slut in general maybe. either way, thinks it's hot

he's probably just a bit shorter than diluc, maybe at 5'11. diluc won't let him hear the end of it and it pisses him off

looks are the first thing he sees in a person. it isn't nearly the end-all be-all of choosing a partner for him (he really looks for someone with more mental acuity and wit), but it does play the part

being tall helps you with this

is the type to DEFINITELY be able to reach the top shelf and pretend he can't anyway so he can grin at you while you get things for him

asshole

VENTI

did someone say short-ass twink?

he's like 5'3 sorry i don't make the rules. short.

so yeah, again, not hard to be taller than him.

he's so playful about it too

"oh nooooo~ they put the apples all the way on the top shelf so i can't reach them~ whatever shall i do!"

bitch, you can fly. be fr

it doesn't matter. if there's something you can do (even if he can also do it) for him because of his height, he'll bat his eyelashes and flash you a grin so you can't help but show off and do it for him

also makes sharing the bed a hell of a lot more difficult. venti already flails around all over the place, and having someone taller sleeping next to him...? forget about it. you're both waking up on the floor.

BAIZHU

tall

probably like 6'1, and lanky too

there is no cabinet he can't reach, and besides he has changsheng to slither up in the rare situation that he actually can't reach something

however, the tables are turned on him completely when he's having a flare-up. a lot of the time, if he tries to exert himself reaching for something (or just getting out of bed at all), he'll dissolve into a fit of coughing and have to sit down

this is when having a tall partner really comes in handy, and you're more than happy to get him whatever he needs to help him calm it down

extremely grateful for your help, and lucky that he has you. anytime you get him something, especially when he's not feeling well, he'll thank you and give you a kiss

XIAO

joining the "it's not hard to be taller than him" club at a whopping (not really) FIVE FOOT TWO

bro is SHORT short

this doesn't bother him as much as you think it might. in xiao's own words, "height has little effect on one's ability to fight," and therefore he can protect you and fight for you even despite how small he is

will pretend not to be thankful if you help him with reaching things, but instead sends you a short glance that only you can decipher as being grateful

going out with him is a little bit like walking with a small but on edge dog

ZHONGLI

taller than REX LAPIS?? REX FUCKING LAPIS??? THE LORD OF GEO???

i think in his human form he's about 6'3, but he gets to like 6'8 with his draconic features out. no, i'm not counting his horns, i think he actually grows when he relaxes and stops hiding his features

is impressed that you're taller than him, and, honestly, a little worried about your back

with this tall of a couple, he definitely has to adjust his living situation. for sure has his ceilings raised and doorways sanded so the both of you can fit

walking around liyue harbor with him is a SIGHT. two giant sized folks casually going out for a stroll along the waterfront, enjoying their date as if they aren't big enough for a seagull to accidentally fly into their faces

also likes having you do things for him. he's tall, he can do them himself, but he's lying if he says he doesn't like watching you reach to screw in a lightbulb or the like.

AYATO

he's probably around 5'11, so he's tall but it's not unusual for someone to be taller than him per se

he's kind of a cheeky lil bastard? he puts everything on ridiculously high shelves on purpose so that he can watch you get them for him

"oh, sorry to trouble you my dear, but it seems the brown sugar is just a few inches out of my reach. could i trouble you to grab it for me?"

"there are like eighteen other different shelves you could have put it on."

"are there? i hadn't noticed! oh, well :)"

also likes to show you off. pulls up to the function (important dignitary meeting) with his tall ass partner

GOROU

little guy! he's probably around 5'4-5'5 so if you're even like average height you're probably a little taller than him

embarrassed about it, almost as much as he is about the whole tail cuddling thing

that isn't to say he doesn't love how gorgeous and tall you are (he does for sure!), he just is a little self-conscious about his own height

he WILL hide behind you if he sees yae miko approach. benefit #1 of having a tall partner: meat shield

also bonus for you: he is a dog, so when he wants you to grab something for him, he'll look up at you with the most adorable puppy eyes you've ever seen

ITTO

good lord you must be insanely tall . i think he's probably around 6'3

the first time he meets you he's blown away. bewildered. incredibly flustered. possibly already in love.

he's used to being the tallest guy around, used to being the big guy in charge. so when he finds you, and has to look up at someone else for a change, he's stupefied (in a good way)

there are no shelves he can ask you to get things from that he can't already reach. instead, he likes to watch you just pick people up

he'll gather some arataki gang members and ask them to stand in a line and have you go back to back with each one just to measure how tall you are compared to other people

he WILL give bear hugs. if you're more lanky, they may break a few bones... so, beware of that

KAZUHA

another almost short-stack, probably around 5'6

he hasn't ever really thought about his height, he isn't insecure about it or anything.

to him, your height is just another thing that he loves about you! he doesn't care much for physical appearance, it's what's inside that counts to him

and once he gets to know you, he finds everything about you stunning!

probably writes poems about how you look standing strong in the wind or something. really he'll write poems about you no matter what.

since you're taller than him, he enjoys being the little spoon. let him recite lines to you while you hold him!

ALHAITHAM

tall ass guy. prolly around 6'1

is surprised that you're taller than him, but other than that doesn't really care all that much

while he does care for physical traits such as height, he mostly values intelligence and wit, so as long as you can keep up with him in a conversation, you're good enough to date

he has parameters, you understand. you have to fit to a certain standard in a series of specific categories, including age, wit, compatibility....

he might be a little autistic.

my point is, height doesn't really factor in there

still enjoys being the big spoon, even if there's more of you or if you don't quite slot together ideally in that position

it doesn't matter if you're 8 feet tall, this guy Will hold you

CYNO

putting him in around 5'5

despite his small stature, he's a force to be reckoned with. everyone around him knows it, even if he sometimes wishes they didn't care as much

has absolutely no trouble asking you to get things for him if he can't reach them. unbothered king.

this comes less from a place of him not caring about being short and more of a place of him knowing his limitations and understanding when he needs help!

doesn't really care about being shorter than you. well... unless you tease him about being short, then he gets a little miffed. he doesn't mind being the shorter one as long as he isn't just called short

doesn't mind being the little spoon if you suggest it

KAVEH

i wanna say he's about average height, 5'8-5'9 ish!

he's comfortable with his height. he doesn't really think about it very often

that being said, i do think he would be very into someone who's taller than him. i just get those vibes

PLEASE please lean in a doorway and look at him or something. he thinks it's so attractive

probably will ask you to reach up and get things for him just so he can like... poke you in the side??? for no reason?? while you do it

likes to show you off but is also shy about it. will hold your hand when you walk around in public but also really doesn't want anyone to notice. there are two wolves inside of him.

TIGHNARI

I AM A 5'6 TIGHNARI TRUTHER. idk. he gives 5'6 vibes and i don't know why!!!

honestly couldn't give two shits about his height. As long as he can get to the samples he's trying to study, he doesn't care!

Thinks every part of you is stunning, so to him your height is a part of that!

Looks come second to personality to him. This isn't to say he doesn't find you attractive, just that the second he actually starts to like someone all of a sudden oh, they're really pretty actually.

lowkey wants to do like, a family gene chart of you? He wants to learn everything about you, down to where all your different traits come from!

[yestrday]

What if academy!darling thinks that the yandere's behavior is cute, and she indulges it, but she doesn't reciprocate; like " awwww you're so obssesed with me, doing everything for me, you're adorable" but she isn't in love and won't ever give a chance to them

... absolutely pissed off. you think you can trying playing around with his heart? you had him fooled at first, making him think that you actually liked him, but the more he spent time with you the more he could see that he was nothing but a plaything to you. vixens like you have no right to stand on equal grounds with him. he'll make you regret this. he thinks you'll look better crying and screaming and begging for him to let you go, rather than playing coy.

SCARAMOUCHE, zhongli, ayato, cyno

heartbroken. he thought all your indulgences meant that you liked him back, but you were just toying with him all this time? his sanity deteriorates when it sinks in that not once have you ever taken him seriously. he doesn't want to hurt you, he really doesn't, but what choice does he have? he can't imagine a life without you, so he has to take drastic measures to make you realize that he's serious. dead serious.

KAZUHA, thoma, ITTO, DILUC, xiao

he does not take a hint at all. actually, it'd be more accurate to say that he's absolutely turned on by this sort of behavior from you. giving him a sip of the forbidden nectar before leaving him out to dry... that is so fucking hot. it makes him like you even more. of course, you can't actually reject him. he likes playing this game between the two of you, but he's confident that he can win you over in the end. or, i don't know, just kidnap you. he'll cross that bridge when he gets there.

CHILDE

amused. he's known from the beginning that you've never actually looked at him like that, but he continued to pursue you just to silently laugh as you continue to act like you're the predator. you're so silly! he's lulling you into a false sense of security, making you think you actually have a choice when you never had. don't worry, he'll take goo~od care of you once he takes you for himself. he'll savor the shocked and defeated expression you'll wear when you realize that he's had the upper hand all along...

ALBEDO, XINGQIU, baizhu, TIGHNARI, kaeya, ALHAITHAM, venti, aether, AYATO

disappointed in you. love is supposed to be taken seriously, yet you treat it like a game? this course of action may or may not decrease their affection for you. some of them will overanalyze and think that maybe some troubling past has you acting so capriciously. the less delusional ones will see you for what you are— an asshole. nevertheless, you won't get away with this. you don't toy with a yandere's feelings and assume that there's no consequences, after all. (you'll most likely end up dead)

thoma, cyno, xiao, KAVEH, chongyun, GOROU

you've scared them off! they feel utterly humiliated, and they can't blame you. after all, why would you wanna be with them anyway? he's crying in his room 24/7 or sulking about it. whenever he sees you, he just runs away to the opposite direction. you haunt his mind, even as he tries to forget about you. even when you're not mocking him to his face, you're still playing with his mind... he's gotten crazier, and maybe that's not a good thing for you. (you'll also most likely end up dead)

Alhaitham

how jealous is he from 1 to 10?

2/10 He's not really a person who worries too much about those topics, he trusts you enough to date you, so he understands that he doesn't need to be all over you about what you do or who you do it with.

how possessive is he from 1 to 10?

6/10 But even if he's not jealous, there's no doubt that he likes people to see that you're his and that you're going out together, taking you on dates or bragging about what a great partner he has.

what is he most jealous of?

When someone dares to make any move on you while he is in front of you, he can understand that people approach you because they find you attractive, but while you are next to him? That makes him rethink whether people really notice his hands on you and the looks he throws at them.

Baizhu

how jealous is he from 1 to 10?

5/10 It's kind of uncomfortable for him to see other people trying to hit on you when you're already with him, but he doesn't really like to spend his time thinking about how he should take it. He sighs and keeps it to himself.

how possessive is he from 1 to 10?

3/10 You may notice him a little more distant but only if he knows that you have kept information from him about going out with other people, he doesn't understand why you wouldn't want to tell him in the first place when you know he's not going to make any complaints.

what is he most jealous of?

He doesn't like to see you going out alone too often, he worries about you all the time and the last thing he wants is for something to happen to you. So when you do and it's not for a very important reason, he will most likely reprimand you for it or bring up unrelated issues.

Kaveh

how jealous is he from 1 to 10?

8/10 He wants attention, he needs attention, and he wants yours. Try not to make it seem so obvious so you don't get mad at him or feel uncomfortable, but he gets upset when you spend more time with someone else.

how possessive is he from 1 to 10?

4/10 As much as he gets jealous he knows that you are you and he can't control what you do or say, but whenever he can he will hug you and hold your hand in public.

what is he most jealous of?

Hearing you laughing at stories of yours that you tell other people that he thought you would only tell him, or plans that you've talked about and ended up doing with someone else, he would go straight to the bar to calm his thoughts.

Tighnari

how jealous is he from 1 to 10?

4/10 Unless someone approaches you and is too clear with their intentions he will not react. He leaves it up to you on most occasions to tell the person that you are not interested in anything of the sort.

how possessive is he from 1 to 10?

6/10 I want to blame it on him being a hybrid and not anything else because Tighnari is usually very nice to you, but he certainly likes to let people know in subtle ways that you're already with someone.

what is he most jealous of?

That you speak with admiration for people who are not close to him or whom he does not know. He always tries to put up the best image with you and teach you everything he knows, so why do you have to talk that way about someone other than him?

Diluc

how jealous is he from 1 to 10?

3/10 Normally he doesn't get jealous, but when he does, it shows. He would talk even less than usual and you would notice how he rolls his eyes every time someone walks towards you to talk (flirt) to you.

how possessive is he from 1 to 10?

8/10 Small details, just to show everyone how capable he is of dating you and that he takes good care of you. He would give you jewelry that would be visible and from time to time he'd run his hand around your waist to hold you close to him.

what is he most jealous of?

If people come up to you drunk while he's working at the bar, he won't hesitate for a second to throw someone out if necessary or to give harsh answers if they ask for more drinks, even make you stay behind the counter with him.

Lyney

how jealous is he from 1 to 10?

5/10 It's not that he doesn't trust you, he just doesn't trust the rest of the people around you. He knows you and knows what you're like, so he wouldn't hold resentment or anger towards you, but he would towards people who try to have their way with you.

how possessive is he from 1 to 10?

7/10 There are a lot of people who know him and therefore if you start dating him, people would start to know you, so if he sees any strange moves towards you he would be thoughtful and try to get you out of wherever you are.

what is he most jealous of?

He can't stand people asking him about you when he sees that they have other intentions and are not friends that you have already told him about, he doesn't trust them and doesn't want them near you. Especially when they treat you as his assistant, you are his partner, not anything else.

Thoma

how jealous is he from 1 to 10?

2/10 There are a few times when he gets jealous, and it doesn't really last very long. He would usually only get upset if someone is not able to respect your boundaries, such as trying to kiss you or following through after a 'no'.

how possessive is he from 1 to 10?

4/10 He wants to give you space, as much as you need as long as you tell him how you feel and don't hide things from him. So he doesn't really mind seeing you with other people as long as you tell him and at the end of the day you come back to his arms.

what is he most jealous of?

Watching you spend time with other people outside, eating food or taking walks, his heart aches at the thought of you and someone else doing things you could do with him. He can't bear to think that you might have a better time with them or that you don't enjoy your time with him.

ALHAITHAM

“i just asked (Y/N) out…”

Fluff

DENDRO MASTERLIST | DRABBLE MASTERLIST

.

Valentine’s Day prompt: “i just asked (Y/N) out…”

Warnings? Two bad words (bastard and fuck)

Contains Cyno, Kaveh, Tighnari and Alhaitham of course!

Note: i genuinely didn’t expect Alhaitham to win, but i like how he matches the prompt! and i used Uno online for this. please let me. it's for a VOD reference.

and happy belated birthday to the man himself! rerun when?

1.2k words.

It's February time once again, so you know what that means. Valentine's Day! And that also means that every other shop and stall in Sumeru city would have a hint of pink within their products, aka, Valentine's gifts.

That includes Lambad's tavern, and they have a new Valentine's menu.

One of these menus was placed on every table throughout the tavern. And they would be picked up or looked at regardless.

And one of them was being cleared for a... card game. TCG to be more specific.

A blonde guy picked up a menu, looking at one side before turning it over to look at the other side, he looked rather young. As he did his two other friends who were setting up the game. One with black hair and one ash-white.

He sighed, "another year, another instance of seeing others around you happy with another.”

"You say this just about every year, Kaveh" the ash-white-haired one, also known as Cyno, said as he shuffled the deck of cards before dividing them into four smaller decks. One for each quarter of the table. "It never changes."

"Something should change soon" the black-haired person, Tighnari said, as he bought some drinks to start off the game. He set them down on the table just as the fourth friend came in and joined them.

"Well look who finally decided to show up!" Kaveh said with his hands on his hips, shaking his head with a sigh. The grey-haired feeble scholar walked over, sitting down at one of the chairs and immediately crossed his arms. He only hummed in response.

The day contained many games of TCG and many drinks, and no one managed to get drunk, surprisingly. They even tried a new card game.

Uno.

It took some time to get used to the game and its rules but it did lead to some laughable moments.

"Kaveh, I'm really curious," Cyno said as he looked over his deck with a smirk before placing down a blue seven, "let me see your hand."

This meant they had to swap decks. And Kaveh wasn't happy.

"NOOOO" he shrieked, garnering some confused looks from the tavern's other patrons. This made Alhaitham let out a laugh.

"You bastard!" Kaveh cursed.

As well as...

"Fuck 'em up, Nari" Cyno quipped.

"Uh.. okay..." Tighnari had two cards left, and Kaveh had one, which was a wild card. But Tighnari put down a +1, which made Kaveh...

"OOUUUAAAGH!" Again. Garnering the confused and slightly concerned look of other patrons.

"Nice, nice" Cyno complimented, "well done."

"Damn, that was a shriek," Alhaitham said with a slight wince as he sat beside an annoyed Kaveh.

Later that evening, not long before the tavern would be closing, they finished their current game and packed it all away.

Tighnari stood to the side looking around absentmindedly while the others waited for Cyno to organise his cards and put them away when he thought of something.

He has Cyno as a makeshift Valentine's, they do it as a friendship type of thing. Kaveh isn't bothered with the occasion this year as he's working on a big project and won't have the time for it. And that left a question for Alhaitham.

"Hey Alhaitham?" he spoke, the seemingly stone-faced man looked towards him in response, "When are you going to get a partner? I am sure with your charms you'll be able to win them over."

That made all three of the other men's attention focus on him, Cyno seemed to have frozen regarding the question and Kaveh seemed surprised. The only one that didn't seem to have a visible reaction was the man himself - Alhaitham. Of course.

"Who's to say I don't?" he said rhetorically, "you don't know that. I don't need to tell you all about my dating life."

"Wai-wai-wait" Cyno said, holding the card deck in its box in one of his hands, "just give it to us straight. Are you dating someone or not? Just say yes or no."

And he replied with a simple, "no."

It is true. He wasn't dating anyone. But it isn't a lie when he wishes that he was. He has seen someone around the city on some occasions. He has met with them a couple of times too. And they have hung out with him and the others too.

That being you.

Yes, you.

He wishes he could get to know you on a more personal level, but he wasn't quite sure how to approach you. Yes, he has the 'charms,' but sometimes they wouldn't always work surprisingly enough. Nor had he had the time to actually use them, he was at the Akadamiya all day and got home late sometimes, the only person he saw the most out of work was Kaveh, even that was debatable sometimes.

"Why don't you, you know, get out there and get to know some people," Cyno said, "touch some grass."

Kaveh and Tighnari sighed at his ‘joke.’

"Whatever" Alhaitham hummed before he mumbled, "I already have an.. interest in someone." He thought no one would hear. But a part of his soul left his body when Kaveh reacted.

"WHAT?!" Kaveh exclaimed. At this point, they were in the area in front of the tavern, overlooking the small port of Sumeru city. People's attention was brought to him again.

"Would you keep your voice down??" Alhaitham hissed. He was tired of this conversation already so he does what he's done multiple times.

He just walks away, back home. Without saying anything.

Kaveh would follow later after saying his goodbyes to Cyno and Tighnari.

A few days later, Alhaitham was around in the city for a walk when he ran into you, doing your own errands, and he was taken aback for some reason. Despite you hanging around with the four of them from time to time. The five of you were good friends.

"Oh, hey Alhaitham" you smiled kindly with a polite wave, you noticed that the tips of his ears were going red quickly, yet you never mentioned it.

"Oh, hey (Y/N)" Alhaitham said with his constant straight expression, trying to not give away his blushing emotions. But he didn't know that he was technically failing. "May I ask what you're doing today?"

Surprised by the sudden question, you replied back with delight, "oh, I am just doing some errands. Want to join me?"

"I don't see why not."

The next time Alhaitham, Cyno, Kaveh and Tighnari met up again for TCG was a little while later as it was best for each other's schedules, and, surprise surprise, Alhaitham was the last one to arrive.

Some time into the day, between games, they would have a chat. And the current topic of discussion was how each other's 'Valentine's' went. And it was good. Good.

Tighnari and Cyno hung out together as friends.

And Kaveh finally got some well-deserved rest.

But when they asked how Alhaithams went, they were quite surprised, to say the least at the answer. Even Kaveh, who lives with him, had no idea about this until now.

"i just asked (Y/N) out..."

[harmonysanreads]

A shower thought I have because of the current sumeru event and the hexagon polycule (I haven't started playing it yet) :

All the participants trying 90000% harder not only to win, but also to impress you while Layla and Faruzan are just

"🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️pls don't hurt us"

Wanderer also ofc wants to impress and win but his ego took a heavy blow after being listed in as "Hat Guy"

Alhaitham can't really participate but that won't stop him from making snarky remarks over them ( *cough cough* Kaveh and Cyno * cough cough*)

I was waiting for this event like a kid for their favorite cartoon show to air no kidding and it DID NOT disappoint<33 (I want either Kaveh or Layla to win so bad ☹️) And by the laws, brainrot is unavoidable :)

spoilers under the cut! [ au masterlist ]

I was thinking about Reader being chosen as one of the Commentators for extra spice actually— imagine how much harder the boys work to get your approval, this is the moment they get to show off, after all. No one can question it, you have abundant knowledge and capability from your travels, are eloquent with words, well acquainted with every contestant and can generally keep everything in euphony ; Nahida didn't even find any room for a contrary opinion as Alhaitham and Hat Guy brought these points forth (separately) so matter of factly. Having you there will just make this even a little (no, a lot) bearable for them, is all.

Faruzan is amused to a degree, ho, youngsters these can be so passionate! Though there slowly forms a concern for your future as she realizes that their efforts aren't just simple courting tactics. Layla's just... scared. She may or may not have accidentally looked through your constellation and it may or may not have traumatized her a little.

The fact that Kaveh wants to buy a place for himself with the prize money?? *chefs kiss* The architect has come to the realization that he needs to iron his backbone if he's to court you officially, he needs to show you that he can achieve way more than that insufferable cabbage (soon to not be) roommate of his. And when Kaveh is serious about something, you better know you're not going to have it easy anymore.

Tighnari is such a showoff in the first round, creating that butterfly show not only to catch potential students but to impress you knowing you have an affinity for pretty things. He didn't entirely lose in the second round either, as you rushed to take care of him, he savored all that attention more than the water he passed out without :/

Cyno is, well, ... Cyno. Don't get him wrong, he most definitely wants your praises and he does get them in the second round. On a side note, based on the Biryani factor joke he made I have a new headcannon that Cyno regularly tells you food puns — now whether you enjoy them is purely up to you :)

Though, things with him really get interesting in the final round as Wanderer takes him head on (or I'm assuming something similar since it's not out yet). Even the densest person can tell they're ready to tear each other limb from limb here, but honestly, who has the guts to stop these two? Not like you aren't mildly entertained by their duel either.

You're surprised when you heard that Wanderer was taking part, you recovered quickly though ; squeezing him affectionately like you usually do and even jokingly adding what else he was doing behind your back (not missing the way he tensed up). Whatever his true motives are, it's apparent he's determined to prove something to you. He's trying to better himself, alright. But old habits die hard, how can these mortals even compare to him? If he can (and he will) establish the fact that he's obviously the superior choice —to you only, of course as he doesn't give a crap about what others think— then taking that dent to his pride will be worth it.

Alhaitham is the saltiest version of himself throughout the whole event (Nilou's sweating bullets throughout the whole time). Most of the actual commentary is done by you and Nilou as he just occasionally quips in to add a snarky remark or to do announcements. Doesn't waste a breath fleeing from the venue when a round ends and even whisks you along with him. At one point though, he asks who you support the utmost among the participants (no, ‘everyone’ isn't an acceptable answer), purposefully when they're gathered together. You aren't dumb, you know that despite the tone in which he delivered it, this is the pinnacle of this competition for everyone. If he was just fanning the flames before, he's poured out an entire barrel of gasoline in it now.

Oh, we cannot forget the Traveller and Paimon who are actually doing their job just...deadpanning by the sidelines as everything unfolds :>

(also, you're going on a date with dehya and candace sooner or later, no questions asked.)

[glitterguts13]

Can you do a 4ggravate polycule fic using timeskips?

Preg!Alhaitham, Kaveh and Cyno with their first, second and then third child all learning to accept help and be vulnerable from their partners during their respective pregnancies.

(I don't see Tighnari being so stubborn so I didn't include him)

Tighnari is the braincell of the group, that's for sure.

Tighnari was the first of the group to give birth. He'd known from an early age he wanted a large family, and wasn't in shy in making that clear. With his medical training, he handled things well, being sure to turn to his lovers when he needed help or attention, and before long, he welcomed their first child into the family, a little boy with ears as big as Tighnari's. It was smooth sailing all the way through, but it wasn't that way for everyone.

Kaveh begged to carry the next baby, but Cyno was the one to fall pregnant next. It wasn't a surprise per say, the concept of protection didn't exist between the four, but he also wasn't trying as hard as Kaveh was. It didn't matter though, he was still thrilled. Until he learned this meant he wouldn't be able to work for the foreseeable future. They were *not* sending him out into the desert pregnant, no matter how much he argued he was fine and capable of handling himself.

Cyno became very depressed and withdrawn after being forced to take such a long leave from work. AlHaitham noticed first, but didn't press the issue, while Kaveh tried to over compensate, smothering Cyno until he couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled away more and more as his pregnancy progressed, until Tighnari finally had enough and forced him to sit down and *talk* about what was bothering him.

For Cyno, not working meant he wasn't helping to provide for his family, despite AlHaitham making more than enough to support the four of them, he hated sitting around and doing nothing and as his belly grew, he felt more and more incapable of handling anything. It was a long night of hashing things out, and ended with Cyno curled up against AlHaitham's chest with Kaveh and Nari snuggling him close, but he does come around. Instead of closing himself off from the family, he starts to find chores around the house to do, and before long, welcome's their first daughter into the family.

Kaveh was next, annoucing his pregnancy less than a week after Cyno delivered his daughter. He;s a jittery mess, feeling guilty from taking the attention away from Cyno but overjoyed he was finally going to have a baby of his own. Kaveh fawned over both the other children, and loved them dearly, but was excited to experience the 'wonders' of pregnancy.

The 'wonders' he spoke of were violent morning sickness the whole nine months, swollen feet and ankles, constant migraines and being nearly two weeks overdue with *twins* Kaveh was miserable from start to finish. Everything made him cry, and is he wasn't crying he was furious about something or other. Cyno and Tighnari has such easy pregnancies, and Kaveh was more than bitter about not getting to enjoy things the way they had.

He tries to throw himself into his work for distraction, but after vomiting over two sets of blueprints and pregnancy brain making him forget even the most basic of details, he's forced into taking a leave. Which only makes him even more upset and miserable and heaven forbid the other three try to help or he would jump down their throats for coddling him.

Cyno understands where Kaveh is coming from, but the blond is just so stubborn he won't let any of them help. Not until he finally reaches his breaking point seven months in, stuck on the floor trying to pick up a pen he dropped and having a full meltdown over how 'fat and useless' he'd become. Finally, he let Cyno take him to their bedroom and just hold him till the other two returned from work. AlHaitham hated seeing his lover look so pathetic, and promised him once the babies were born he would never, ever have to do this again.

Kaveh's labor, luckily, was much smoother than his pregnancy. The twins were born within six hours of his labor starting, and came right after each other. A boy and a girl, looking nothing alike.

AlHaitham's pregnancy was a shock. Truefully, he hadn't even considered carrying a baby, not after the four kids his lovers had already brought into the world, but he wasn't upset about it either. The first few months went by smoothly, and Kaveh was more than jealous over the lack of morning sickness and general misery AlHaitham wasn't experiencing. He was stoic about the whole process, never complained beyond wanting certain snacks that someone ate without permission, or having to leave work early for doctor's appointments.

But that was the problem.

Alhaitham never asked for help. He didn't complain about anything, and he didn't allow the others to do anything for him. He hated when they touched his belly, or made comments about how soon their new little one would be there. Cyno could tell something was off, but prying only got him a glare and a curt 'nothing.'

It wasn't until Alhaitham went into labor that the issue finally surfaced. Standing at the kitchen sink, washing up plates from dinner, his water broke. He goes still, before Tighnari quickly plucks the dish from his hands and leads him to their bedroom. For AlHaitham, labor was long and hard. The baby had no interest in being born, despite his body doing everything in its power to force their baby into the world. After nearly ten hours, Alhaitham finally breaks, letting a few tears fall and admitting he was scared. He didn't know shit about being a mother, and he knew he lacked the gentle touch the other three naturally had. He was scared he would die giving birth, or the pup would die instead.

They do their best to calm him, Kaveh doesn't let him go the rest of his labor, and Cyno keeps the mood light with the worst jokes any of them had ever heard, but for once in his life, Alhaitham actually found them a little funny.

After nearly 26 hours of labor, AlHaitham brought their youngest son into the family, and was rightfully smothered with love and affection.

[worriedvision]

Hanahan AU. Kaveh takes the surgery option to completely forget about reader and moves on with his life. Years later, reader dies and kaveh doesn't know about it.

Hear me out: now that the people of sumeru can dream, Kaveh keeps getting haunted by you in his dreams, and after unlocking enough memories about you, he starts coughing up flowers. This time he thinks of pursuing reader.

And so, what would kaveh do when he realizes that reader died?

Oh god, this is gonna be sad. Gender neutral reader, obviously angst. I tweaked the part where Kaveh gets Hanahaki again, him getting it in his dream state.

--

"How much for the surgery?" Alhaitham asks, Kaveh mumbling about how he was broke and couldn't pay it. "You'll die without it, right? I'll cough up the money right now - pun not intended - and you can pay it back over time." Alhaitham finishes, listening to the doctor and ignoring how Kaveh grumbled at the joke.

"Very well. And this will ensure he won't get it again?" Alhaitham asks, the doctor nodding.

"One condition. He needs to stay away from the object of his affections." The doctor warns.

"That won't be too difficult, right Kaveh?"

--

The next day, you had been told Kaveh called in sick. Because of this, you had to take some commissions that were more dangerous than usual, but also required that only one person was to go. Because of his vision, Kaveh could defend himself, however you were vision less.

As days turned to weeks, weeks to years, you couldn't help but think fondly of Kaveh. You missed him dearly, and the heart grows fond when he's not been around. It let you reminisce in your spare time. You didn't dare move on, you told yourself Kaveh would return one day and apologise with a hug that you'd be glad to reciprocate.

Unfortunately, that never happened. As you lay on the gurney, the commissions finally taking its toll, you can only smile sadly to yourself, tears dropping as you stare at the ceiling. Your body was closing down, and you were all alone. Kaveh didn't even write a single letter to you, and when you tried to look for him he was never there. The commissions had some strange effect - if you had a vision, you'd be immune to it - where it would chip away at your inner organs slowly. At first, it wouldn't be terrible, but because of your exposure and the fact you had been doing this for years it was going to kill you.

You felt someone hold your hand comfortingly, and you look over to see someone who matched the description of the traveler - the one who had done many feats.

"I'm scared." You admit out loud, the traveler sitting with you as your eyes finally closed shut.

"I'm here." They reassure you, the individual looking like their companion nodding as they stay silent. Funny, you think, usually people complained about the companion being too loud, but they weren't trying to speak.

--

Once Kaveh started dreaming, he kept seeing you in his dreams. He didn't know who you were, but you felt familiar to him. In the dreams, he also noted he started coughing up petals. He decided to ask Tighnari about it, only to be told it must have been from an overactive mind. The only person who knew about his condition was Alhaitham, of course, and after he overhears this at the table he decides to tell Kaveh about the procedure.

Kaveh...takes it surprisingly well. He didn't seem confused, and he bought Alhaitham's explanation that this must have just been an after effect of the surgery - Alhaitham made sure you didn't interact with Kaveh at all.

--

'Traveler, could you investigate this person?' Kaveh asks, coughing up a petal. The traveler didn't notice it. 'They keep sending me letters, however I do not recall knowing them.'

Kaveh wakes up, deciding to look at the letters to see if this was the case. There was your name, and he still couldn't recall who you were. He decided to ask around to no avail, but he had a hopeful lead.

The traveler had surely known about you.

"Paimon thinks that isn't a good idea..." Paimon trails off, the traveler trying to think of a way of explaining your death.

"So you do know something! Please, at least tell me if they are in Sumeru." Kaveh please.

The traveler gives an honest answer - you were in Sumeru. They don't, however, elaborate that you had died a while ago. They knew about Kavehs condition through Nahida informing them before telling them about you - someone she wanted the traveler to aid.

--

'_!' the traveler calls out, running towards your weak form. You had leaned up against a wall, a particularly rough hit from your opponent as they had collapsed. They take you in their arms, carrying you to Aaru Village to get some medical care for you.

Unfortunately, that's when you discovered the true nature of these commissions. You couldn't sit up, simply lying down as the doctor explained you only had an hour at most to live.

You have so many questions. No matter what explanation you thought up, nothing fully made sense. You lay there for about 20 minutes, simply thinking to yourself.

The traveler comes along, taking the seat next to you, and taking your hand in theirs.

'I'm scared.' You admit out loud, tears streaming down your face.

'I'm here.' they reassure you.

A couple of minutes later, you lose your life. The doctor confirms this, an uncomfortable silence sitting as nobody knows what to say.

--

Kaveh wakes up gasping, crying as he realises that you had died. By some cruel miracle, the hanahaki the dream Kaveh had dwindled down after he learned you did have the same feelings for him - it was why you were so fond of him even after those years of not seeing him. You didn't suffer Hanahaki, but you suffered from the jobs he usually picked up for extra mora - tasks he would not be affected by in the same way you were.

You were dead, and he got to live.

Matildo: DON'T TURN AWAY FROM ME!!!

I JUST FINISHED THE STORY QUEST AND IT WAS SO GOOD OMG

my thoughts undercut, beware of spoilers

These thoughts are going to be all over the place and won't cover everything I'm thinking bc I'm really just dumping the first thing that comes to mind. It's been a long day and i'm tired lol

First of all. THE LORE. We FINALLY got to know more about Cyno's past, and it was SO good! His ties to the Temple of Silence and Hermanubis are so interesting, I have so many more questions but my mind is so cluttered with thoughts I can't get them all down rn.

I'm so happy we finally got to see Cyrus, and got to see more of the dynamic between him and Cyno! Such an interesting dynamic. It's alot like I imagined it being, where they are father and son but in an unconventional way. Like Cyno doesn't call him father, he just calls him professor, but they still very much have that father son dynamic. And oh my god those little photos of baby Cyno....my heart 😭 I loved the mentions of Lisa too, I love the idea of her being like an older sister figure to Cyno

I have mixed feelings on Cyrus himself, like he was apparently good to Cyno growing up and protected him from the Akademiya trying to do experiments on him, but also like?? He kinda kidnapped him from the Temple of Silence? That part really got glossed over in the story quest ldskgjdklfgj. Not only that, but he was part of the original experiments that got Cyno his powers. So he feels very morally grey to me. I'm kinda giving him the side eye.

Also they said that Cyno's parents gave him up to be used as a vessel. So are they still alive and part of the Temple of Silence?? Where are they???

And I AM a little sad that it was confirmed that Cyno can't communicate with Hermanubis, since I've always loved that in fan content. But hey, at least it can still exist in fan content, hehe

Also the unexpected crumbs for Tighnari lore????? Hell yeah

AN D OH MY GOD THEY REALLY FED THE CYNONARI FANS WITH THIS ONE. I was right in my guess that Tighnari would insist on coming along to support Cyno! There were so many sweet moments between them. Tighnari being protective of Cyno and not wanting him to go alone. Also the way they just casually show that Cyrus knows both Tighnari and Collei well is so cute omg. Cyno bringing his husband and daughter to visit his father, so cute 🥺 Also the way Tighnari made a point to say that Cyno needed to keep his power for his own sake, not just the Akademiya's sake, was really sweet. It was like he was giving Cyno a little reminder that he's more than just the General Mahamatra, he's his own person. And how that really seemed to get through to Cyno during his fight with Sethos.

I LOVED the little hints we got of their time in the Akademiya together. That they used to sit on the divine tree together and watch the sunset as they did their school work together omg 🥺 It does make their timeline a little confusing, so I guess Cyno was the General Mahamatra even while he was a student, because Tighnari's character story mentions that he and Cyno met when Cyno was the General Mahamatra and was investigating Tighnari, but now this quest also implies they were both students together. So I guess General Mahamatra is a position they can give to students too.

And the little family moments between Cyno, Tighnari, and Collei made my heart melt. Them both being so proud of Collei and how far she's come. Them having little codes and being able to understand eachother with a look. and oh my GOD the moment where Collei bailed the moment Cyno started telling jokes had me in tears.

And of course we got to see more of Cyno and Tighnari's friendships with the other Sumeru cast. I love how Kaveh and Alhaitham were just immediately looking out for Cyno the moment they realized something was fishy, and immediately knew to get Tighnari and Collei involved once Cyno ran off. And even Faruzan and her being all worried and protective of them in her own way! It was just so sweet.

And I'm very happy with how things went with Sethos! I was afraid at first that having a new playable character appear for the first time in this quest would take away from the focus being on Cyno, but they did really well with it! Cyno was still very much the focus, As for Sethos himself, he seems really interesting and I can't wait to learn more about him when he's released. He seems an interesting mix of sweet and mischievous. Like he obviously cares for everyone at the temple so much, but is also not opposed to blackmail. Very curious to see more of him.

Also sidenote, I really enjoyed how much internal monologue they added to this quest, it was cool getting to hear the thoughts of characters other than the traveler for once.

Overall I'm just SO happy with this quest, it was so good! And I was so happy to see my boys again!

Also Naphis looks so fucking funny. Laughed my ass off everytime that man was on screen. Nari I can't believe that's your master. Silly looking ass

─── ⋅ ⋅ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───

Cyno barely feels hurt when he watches how the three fit together like puzzle pieces. It is like his mind is floating above his body, watching even Collei be pulled into the new rhythm, and he is left as an outsider in this new family. It is easy for him to slip away and disappear without anyone paying him any attention. The knowledge that he can fade away without notice is maybe what truly hurts the most.

He hears whispers of how tired he appears from Candace herself, her worries poured out in her desire for him to think about himself more. He basks in her affection, unable to rest in the warmth of Al-Haitham's adoration anymore. He accepts her love for what it is: familial and friendly. "You have done enough, don't you think?" She says, knowing he won't stop. Loving Cyno is a cruel fate, she can't help but think, because there is no price that he isn't willing to pay. She will watch him cry with dry eyes, watch his heart shatter without anyone willing to gather the pieces. He loves and never stops loving.

Dehya calls him a coward out of frustration. She denounces his choices, demands he explain himself to Al-Haitham because they are in a relationship and that is what he deserves. He promises her, just as he promises Candace, that he will. He will reveal it all and finally take some time to himself after.

He'll be damned if he is the reason Al-Haitham can't be with who he deserves. Candace doesn't say a word but he can feel the judgement in her eyes that see him and never his fate. He asks once, in a moment of weakness after a long mission and unable to go home, what her special eye sees.

There is nothing written for him.

Instead, when she looks at him, her body fills with indescribable heartache and pain. Pain, the only constant in his life, he thinks miserably. He can't drag people into his life of sorrow so selfishly.

He won't be able to tell anyone what happens during the break up. He remembers, hazily, angry shouts and cutting words. He remembers his heart shattering and remembers the burn in the back of his eyes as if he is capable of crying. He watches Al-Haitham's back disappear into a room he knows Kaveh is in, holed in the studio for days on end.

In the pits of his heart, he knows Al-Haitham will at least be able to find comfort. That thought echoes through his mind with his every step away from the house. He can't stop the fleeting thought that he wants to talk to Tighnari. He wants comfort from his closest friend, too. That insidious thought crashing on him when he realizes he is already in the rainforest. He doesn't dare to go any closer.

What can Tighnari even do for him? How will Cyno be able to explain the situation? Tighnari will judge him, just as Dehya has, and he doesn't have the energy for another argument. He doesn't.

He just slides onto the floor, resting his head against a tree trunk. The sun is going to set soon by the way the sun hovers in the distance. Regardless, the canopy of trees provides shadows to hide him and his quivering form away from the public. He takes solace in that, at least.

Cyno doesn't realize Dehya is looking for him until she finds him. He can't react when she sits beside him and tugs him closer. He is completely malleable and falls easily against her. There, his shoulders begin to shake and the turmoil in his heart manages to unravel. He isn't crying, but it is the closest to it he will manage. The world around him is cold, but Dehya is incredibly warm as she lets his sorrows run over her.

"Let's go back." Her offer is one he answers with a slow nod. Despite his affirmation, he finds his eyes closing. "Rest, I'll take care of you." His breathing stutters, hot against her neck, as she helps tuck him under a spare cloak.

"Do you remember Lila?" He doesn't answer and she doesn't expect him to. "She remembered your stories about Nilou's dance and has been asking me to invite her for her birthday." Dehya's voice helps drown out the mess of thoughts in his mind and he finds himself slipping into slumber soon after.

The trip to Aaru Village is slow and long, but it is still the safest place to hide him away from the prying eyes of strangers or the confused ones of their friends. He lets her lead him, the usually short trip taking them an extra few days so he can gather his bearings. He tells her, late into the third night in the desert, about the idea of fate. It is right after she shows him, at his request, the mark connecting her to Candace. He understands why some do not particularly like destiny and fate, but not having it at all is so incredibly lonely.

He stays for a week more before he is forced to return to do his work. Dehya is already gone when Candace starts escorting him to the outskirts of Aaru Village, "Come by after your mission is over." Cyno answers her a tired and noncommittal shrug. Still, she continues, "If you ever need a place to stay, I have a bed ready for you."

All it takes is to catch Al-Haitham in the halls at work for him to accept her offer. His throat constricts and fingers twitch to reach out for him, and all he can do is clasp his other hand over his wrist to hold himself in place and together. For the next few weeks, Cyno finds himself staying in the desert during his free time. He usually does not run from danger. Luckily, he tells Candace and Dehya in confidence, Al-Haitham is not dangerous. "He won't notice." He tells them despite their disbelief. Unlike the open arms Candace welcomes him with, Dehya has no real way to bring him comfort. The simmering anger from learning of his painful childhood that caused him to think he is undeserving of a lifetime of love ignites.

The only thing that slows the flames is seeing Al-Haitham grimacing in front of Candace's house. He won't notice, Dehya's mind supplies as she stares at the Acting Grand Sage, agitated when welcomed in with his head craning towards the door as if the elusive General will waltz in at any moment. She has never been more glad that her friend is wrong. What a glorious feeling of vindication being right brings.

"I don't know where Cyno is." Candace repeats. Truthfully, they both have a suspicion and they know his estimated time to return back to Aaru Village. So, when Candace invites Al-Haitham to stay for a while, Dehya understands instantly. They leave him to brood after he makes a few snappy comments, Dehya too tired to deal with his issues on top of all they know about Cyno. She hopes, silently, that her hunch that Al-Haitham loves Cyno regardless of his soulmate status is correct. How lovely it would be to know her friend is cared for in ways he doesn't know yet.

When Cyno returns with the setting sun the following day, Al-Haitham is still present and with no intention to leave. The General, trapped under the fury of the Acting Grand Sage and the judgement of Flame Mane, seeks the guardian of the village for support. Candace offers it the best she can, setting a gentle hand on his shoulder and vowing, "Say the word, and I will remove him." All three ignore how Al-Haitham bristles at the comment, "We will stay nearby in case you need us." Under her breath, she pleas, "Just, talk to him. If you're right, you deserve peace of mind, too."

Dehya gives Al-Haitham a hearty smack on the back, "Don't fight too much, people are trying to sleep." She warns, though by the reserved hunch of Cyno's shoulders, she doesn't need to really.

Cyno is left alone with the man. His gaze lingers on the flickering flames, as if the way it dances matches the entrancing way Nilou moves. "Why did you leave?" Al-Haitham leaves no room for misinterpretation, "You didn't even say a thing." The sound of betrayal slices apart the justifications forming in his mind.

He sighs, "I didn't want to interfere with whatever you three decide to do." He says, partially honest.

Al-Haitham knows him too well, snapping, "I never took my General Mahamatra as a liar or a coward." The insults are probably what is meant to hurt, but neither cuts as deep as what the man calls him.

My General Mahamatra— Mein Mahamatra. Cyno can feel the floor slipping away, air stolen from his lungs, "Don't call me that!" It is closer to a beg than a demand, rushing to his feet as every bone begs him to run.

It's dizzying to stand, the world warping slightly as his vision blurs. His hands catch on the table, own heavy breaths ringing in his ears. He just needs to go. He needs to go, right now. The walls claw their way closer to him, threatening to consume his entire being—

His (ex?) partner is by his side with a start the moment his breathing grows heavier. His eyes are hazy and distant, body trembling unnaturally. He calls out his name in panic, "Cyno?!" The clammer must've drawn the attention from the other desert dwellers because Candace is by Cyno's side in a flash, Dehya tugging him a few steps back to give them space.

Her voice is soft, too quiet for him to hear. Cyno, too, seems to not react at her presence. It isn't until water brushes against his nape that his entire body jolts— "Haitham...!" The whining gasp is enough to snap Al-Haitham from his reverie.

He rips himself from Dehya, managing to catch Cyno when he reaches a trembling arm out, breathing slowly and struggling to help the man do the same. Cyno is stiff in his hold, but he willing leans against Al-Haitham. The man shudders at the sensation of a cool towel pressing against his neck before melting completely. "Will you go...?" He asks, tired eyes still unseeing of the man right in front of him.

"No. Where would I go?" His bemusement does not leak into his tone, but it would be visible in the slight furrow of his brow. Cyno definitely would have made note of them if he felt anything besides the heavy numbness.

Cyno breathes out a laugh, raw and humorless, "To Kaveh." There is a pause so Cyno can breathe, "Tighnari." Cyno would not blame him for leaving.

"I'm not dating Kaveh or Tighnari." Al-Haitham snaps furiously. Cyno huffs and it pales in comparison to the usual laughter he has gotten accustomed to.

Before Al-Haitham can say anything more, Cyno's body goes limp. Unintentionally, the words fill him with so much relief and he curses himself for it. The weight of the mission he just returned from drags his mind down, body too heavy to even move. He can feel the cooling touch against his skin, can feel the familiar pressure of another body, and the wish stuck in the confines of his heart makes itself heard, "Haitham... stay..."

He doesn't hear an answer before his mind finally gives away. He can deal with it all in the morning if necessary. Right now, he just wants to sleep beside his partner. It's been too long since they've been able to.

They are quick to help him lay down properly, bringing him to his room and situating him on the bed. Al-Haitham's grip doesn't relent when Candace checks on him, "He's a bit malnourished and exhausted." She admits, pushing back his bangs, "When he wakes up, he should really eat. For now, just let him rest."

There is a groan behind her, "Wow, Grumpy, always causing us problems." Dehya shakes her head in displeasure and flicks the man's forehead lightly. He doesn't even twitch. "I can stand guard if you want to return to your room to sleep." Her offer would seem more sincere if she doesn't frown as she speaks.

It doesn't matter either way, "I'll stay here." Candace glances at her partner for a moment, both exchanging a knowing look.

Candace says something under her breath as she moves to the door, "I'm glad."

Al-Haitham shifts so Cyno lays against his arm, the other thrown carefully over his waist. It's been too long since they have slept together, much too long. "Don't push me away if you really want me to stay." He sighs, staring down at the planes of his face. He already memorized the creases and lines, but it seems there are more now visible since the last time they held each other. They will need to talk when he finally wakes up and Al-Haitham knows it will be ugly. A difficult, ugly, but necessary conversation.

As if to postpone the impending confrontation, Cyno wakes up late. It is already midday when he finally begins to stir, much to the worry of his friends. The entire time, Al-Haitham does not pull from his side. ("Cyno asked me to stay." He told Dehya as if it was that simple. Maybe it is.)

♡ when you almost pass out due to period cramps ♡

-> how the genshin men would react when you nearly pass out from severe period cramps

based on this request!

Initially panics

Itto, Xiao, Scaramouche, Gorou

When you're about to fall, he'll immediately be there to catch you. Though, when he sees your face twisted in pain from the cramps, he freaks out a little bit.

Look, he knows exactly what to do to treat an injury, but when it comes to cramps? Please enlighten him. The best he'll do is set you down somewhere comfortable and get you something hot to drink, but you'll need to tell him what else you'll need and then he'll retrieve it to the best of his ability.

And if you're missing things, he'll try to make up for it in his own way. Like, if you don't have a heating pad, he might suggest you sit on his lap so he could hug you and wrap his hands around your stomach. That way, he can at least provide you warmth himself. He'll leave a trail of kisses from the back of your head and down your neck, and would lean his lips towards your ear, whispering,

"I'm sorry you have to go through this, I'm here for you"

I think he'd be a bit frustrated that he didn't know how to help you right away, but after this experience and after you teach him, he won't forget.

Pampers you

Kazuha, Zhongli, Kaeya, Venti, Heizou

I think he would have already sensed that you were on your monthly cycle through your sudden cravings and overall fatigued mood, so he was sensitive to you. Yet, he wouldn't have known the severity of it until you were about to topple over. Of course, he'll catch you.

From then on, you'll be subject to his pampering. Anything that'll make you feel better, he'll do. Even after providing you with all the necessities (such as the painkillers, heating pad, etc.), he's going to get you your favorite foods (maybe also spoonfeed you, hehe), read you your favorite book, give you a massage, and so much more. Anything to make you smile again.

Scolds you a bit

Alhaitham, Dainsleif, Diluc, Kaveh, Cyno, Childe

After catching you, he'll scoop you up into his arms and carry you all the way to your room. As he brings you to your bed, I think he'll lightly scold you a bit for not taking your painkillers, but that's only because you made him so worried when you were about to pass out. He'll be relieved that he was there to catch you, at least.

But you were still worrying him in the state you were currently in. He absolutely hates seeing you in pain.

He'll also know what to get you and he knows how to take care of you in this situation. Even if he might have been busy or preoccupied with something prior to this, it'll have to wait because he's not going to leave your side until the pain has subsided.

He'll hold your hand at your bedside so that you know he's there for you. Grasping it firmly, he'd wish that there was a way to instantly take your pain away. After all, he would rather take your pain and make it his own than to see you suffer.

You wouldn't even be in this situation

Thoma, Ayato, Baizhu, Tighnari, Albedo

Honestly, I think it'd be hard to get into this situation if they're around. They'd pay close attention to your schedule and would always want to confirm whenever you were on your period so that they can have the things you needed already prepared.

They'd pay special attention to your well-being during then as well. If you show any signs of fatigue or pain at all, he's gonna tell you to take it easy and if you were doing any type of physically demanding task at the moment, he'll persuade you to stop and he'll take over if he has to. More importantly, he'll have painkillers and your favorite hot drink for you at the ready. Again, all that you needed, he already has.

They don't play around when it comes to your health!

a/n: mmm, idk how I feel about this one. I feel like it was kinda similar throughout the whole thing? I just couldn't think of anything else, oof 😔
