Happy birthday, Izanami.
Izanami (me) in HSR.
"No Easy Way"
Tumblr media
I look like albedo IRL, btw, just uglier because I am real.
Introduction.
"Me? Oh, you know. I'm Izanami. Nothing special about me, honestly. Hahaha..."
Izanami is an Imaginary damage type character, an Emanator of Elation.
Their weapon of choice is a deck of cards, instead of having Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, and Clubs, the deck had Stars, Eyes, Rectangles, and Bones.
About: Self.
"Ahh, hmm. You wish to know more about me? I'm afraid there's not much to say, you know. I travel the stars..."
They wear loose clothes, aesthetics not mattering as long as it's comfortable.
A billowy T-shirt, a long coat, jeans, an obnoxiously long scarf.
About: Clothes.
"Where I got these? I don't remember, back when I was mortal at the very least. Thousands of years ago, maybe. Haah, I hope I can rest soon, my bones ache."
For their talent, Izanami guarantees to have half their hand full of cards that match for a set, and if characters who require attacks or skill points to use their ultimate instead of Energy are in the party, they have two extra points.
Their basic attack as a Blast damage where Izanami launches 3-1 useless card/s at the enemy, those cards going back in the shuffle.
Voice Line: Ultimate.
"50/50, winner takes all! My life or yours, let's find out who takes the money. Laughter."
Izanami's skill debuffs opponents speed and reshuffles useless cards in their hand, along with boosting Crit Rate for the party and depending on who the other party members are (Qingqiu, Aventurine, Silver Wolfe, Welt) this can be buffed higher, or lowered.
Their Ultimate is a giant screen, opened on a blank canvas that just says "Pull 10", when clicked, it either gives a 4*, which leaves Izanami at 1 HP and buffs the other members, or leaves the opposing side at 0 HP. For bosses, that's lowered to 50% HP and a debuff.
Ask: Aventurine.
"My thoughts on Aventurine? I ran into a friend of his once, at least I think so. They thought I was related to him, they saw my hair and my luck when I was betting on something. I won, of course, but they said that the Aventurine fellow has incredible luck. I just have luck for the funniest outcome."
Izanami's quest to get them on the ship takes place on the Astral Express, them bumping into the train as they walk along the stars. They ask for directions to the nearest space station, and are on their way.
"Ahh, the Astral Express is much warmer than the expanse of space. I wouldn't recommend walking the stars, friend."
Eidolon Activation.
"I don't see why you gave me that, aren't there better characters you could get?"
Their Eidolon only buffs the length their buffs last. No whale buffs.
"Yahaha! Get ready Astral Expressers" is their line when pulled.
Added to a team with Welt.
"Hah, Earth boy. Wait. I'm from Earth. What's up fellow earth guy. Forget I said anything."
Izanami would be yet to appear within the main story, outside of mentions by Sampo or Sparkle.
Sampo: "Oouh, my good buddy Izanami, whatever are you doing to keep you so busy."
Added to a team with Aventurine.
"Woah, we're twinning. Crazy."
Status when they leave the story: Unknown, but assumed dead.
"Wouldn't it be funny if I said that I'll see you again but I died and you never got to know anything more about me? Hahaha!"

Does it ever bug you when you see some of the Cyno jokes in fandom? Because for me like- there’s a specific kind of joke he tells that people seem to reduce down to “ligma and then overexplains it” or just. Puns. And while puns are entirely a facet of that sense of humor- it’s. Also just not the kind of jokes? He tells? Like the one with the slime. I haven’t seen many people utilize that kind of humor and I really wish they did. Or like- telling a joke that gets a laugh and adding it to your script with people. I might be projecting a little there but my parents told me I used to tell the same joke every night for a month because it made them laugh once.
I really love your head canons btw- and how you talk about Alhaitham too :)
I have... Actually never thought about it...
But yeah! I do see your point anon! It's definitely not the kind of jokes he does in canon. It's either just straight deadpan humor, like he explains a way too long humorous senario that he thinks intellectually is funny (which, same, I do that all the time lmao) or it's... Weirdly intellectual puns that he HAS to explain to most people, like in the windburne trailer.
And that's a big thing because that's an overly complicated joke, it's like a refence to an arabic (in-game sumerian) poem/song about lyres and wind. And he doesn't explain it to Tighnari, doesn't even attempt to do it and shit.
I think it mostly has to do with the fact that most people consume genshin lore or try to understand characters through voice lines alone and so they took the one time he explained jokes till he was sick and just... Ran with it to hell and back. When that is a very specific scenario and stuff. Thus, flanderization.
(flanderization: the process through which a fictional character's essential traits are exaggerated over the course of a serial work/by the fandom (in this case))
And yeah... Also the fandom's habit to unconsciously or sometimes consciously strip characters, especially ones they find attractive/smart/of note for a specific characteristic, of their neurodivergent coding. I see it a lot with Al Haitham, that a lot of people characterize like one of those white boys who don't care about human right.
(I could go on a fucking rant about this. Seriously, he's not one of those "it's rational for people to be oppressed because *yada yada yada*)
Tbh honest, I have leant the art of disconnecting the wider fandom's hc of character from my own and kinda... Like them somehow... I dunno how I do this, but I feel like it's helped me a lot since otherwise I would be in every comment section arguing about "no! Kaeya calling Albedo a machine does not ducking make sense! Why did you make this!" or similar shit. So yeah...
Especially with neurodivergent characters, that's a necessity!

[parasocial bestie] seeing that ask answered and speeding thru 382983 mph reading and the questions and i go >:] cracks knuckles eats em like french fries i read the answers and honestly i have no brains to answer back What than just to handshake back 4 times and it rlly made me happi!!! ALSO QUESTIONS TIME FOR ME TO ANSWER DAMN?
a) i dont think i have like a main?? but like back in 2.7 it literally. got me back to Loving xiao to the extent I Am Now and its my whole personalith for the 848274th time so i took every chance jsut to have him in the team so i can hear his jp voice (i am very biased at his jp voice i can never unhear him and im not regretting it) so like hes now the Main Guy in my exploration teams ever with yelan nahida zhongli peepaw and i think the others speaks a lot too LMAOOOO
b) the ones mentioned alrd part of the lil list of i will die for them forever <33 and those in my past asks too like the chasm crew gets me Thinking of them no matter how i Dont Know them a lot more than theyve shown themselves (or i jsut didnt bother to be chronically obsessed 2 read them I LOVE SHINOBU AS SHE IS BUT DO I WANNA GO TO HER HANGOUTS AGAIN AND PICK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HER LINES FOR LORE IDT SO i kiss my love <33) tho ei is that kind of Fav more like that i can understand her flaws even if its unjustified and she can be a bit childish so i just. Look Away sometimes now that wanderer got his own solace and have a new life with nahida whos a way better caretaker/friend (i will Die for their dynamic), i still get a lil irritated of the asian mom memes she gets put in too. the lil hcs of her with xiao is very much the silly self indulgence i like and separates her and the shogun cus i still think she has her twin's influences!! just Bad at social cues (unperceives her first story quest tho. that is not the Bad At Social Cues or Living in general that im looking for they dumbed her down So Bad) ANYWAYS did u know i missed albedo's banner once and i spent a year mourning endlessly worse than xiao until his rerun and got lucky in 40 pulls if xiao is for lumine then albedo is for ME. kazuha my beloved wanderer i would put him in a burrito blanket but will also willingly throw him off the cliff for the fucking snarkiness he has. venti has an entirely special place in my heart like another category like i do for xiao and lumine and zhongli bc hes. idk!! i think hes a very Comfort guy to me that i look so far past his drunkard ehe flirty femboy common perception of him, which is how i got too passionate on that one unpublished too. hes not the Little Guy type of comfort hes the 'he has this indescribable feeling of closeness and comfort and warmth i want to have in someone that i will meet one day', and i could go On and On about the little things ive thought of him while at the same time i dont focus too much to dig his canon lore!! more like, i pick off the important ones for sure and can already see the core parts of who he is and stick there :((( <3 the major thing is that i love seeing him as a love-all typa guy with no preferences as a god of freedom and his vibes are just so. aspec. so aro so ace he Doesnt Care more than he cares for everyone. which is why the ships can Tick Me Off esp the most famous one!! LIKE JEEZ!!! anyway Again the guys i Find Cool and digging thru my brain 2 remember rn; diluc (my lil tall gentleman) kokomi (queen) dehya (i just dont like her exposed midriff design can u feel) jean (her and diluc kaeya as a trio is Such A Dynamic!! i love trios!!) klee (actually id die for her too for being the canon sib to albedo) qiqi (the same for being the Headcanon sib to xiao) alhaitham (asshole. also ive delved into analyzing a Little of his character and i like his sense of neutrality to some things) kaveh (his Fucking Existence being a funny spectacle + i only focus on his briefcase friend Mehrak) THERES PROLLY MORE BUT IM NOT SURE IF I CANT RMB
c) ppl say mondstadt feels very homey and since its the first region we're introduced to i can agree!! and its home to a Lot More Mystery regarding the traveler since its the least explored i still think about the upside down statue a lot. but i cant rlly say if i have a Certain favourite that doesnt tie to my favs than my personal taste (the chasm rlly ingrained a Permanent Influence on me regarding sentimentality of loss) so i cant rlly choose!! liyue's got my boy and his peepaw + chasm, inazuma is the start of Really Great World Quests despite how hard it is to thru the region in general + enkanomiya is so Pretty and such a concept, sumeru has the same reasons and the caves are Irritating before the underground layouts are finally integrated in their official interactive maps. i just like to explore!!
d) idt i have much expectations that doesnt feel Petty like the ongoing issue of hyv prioritizing aether as their poster boy that lumine barely has any official work EVEN as the abyss sibling, 'both twins canon travelers' my ass. i think i would very much like a trading system but i Can understand why that wont work profit-wise for hyv BUT BELIEVE ME NOW NY SOLE REASON FOR IT IS JUST ME NEEDING SWEET FLOWERS FOR MY SWEET DREAM ALMOND TOFU HOARDING. i need sugar so bad. i have 300+ in the making i can never reach 1k. i need another xiao-centric quest cus lantern rite doesnt rlly center him and the chasm was a cultural reset But I Get that chasm occuring once is exactly why ir should stay that way to be Infuential and not repetitve and def not abt xiao being hyv's favourite guy SO HOW ABT BRINGING ALBEDO LORE BACK THIS YEAR. nahida venti 2nd story quest when. i think they should buff the traveler so much they shouldnt be ranked B as any role of a team!!! it's kinda sad theyre fun At first in sumeru then not anymore. i think thats it atm!!
note to self swap to jp voices if you ever get xiao. just looked up the voice and OHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD DO NOT BLAME YOU ONE BIT WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK. suddenly i am down bad oh my GOD.
and with yelan nahida and zhongli oh my god i Love that for you so bad that sounds like such a funky little crew..........

A Small Predicament [Baby Genshin x Reader]
Tumblr media
Characters: Scaramouche, Diluc, Kaeya, Childe, Xiao, Zhongli, Albedo
Synopsis: Cursed for a week, the boys either have to live with it or find a cure as soon as possible. You on the otherhand hoped otherwise.
(A/n): It only takes ONE glance for me to start having ideas. It was twelve in the morning yall, enjoy~
Oh here's part 2
--------
Scaramouche
• "Oh you shrank? I couldn't tell-"
• Threatens that he will murder you to pieces and burn your remains but his voice was so squeaky and high pitched (voice crack) that you couldn't help but burst into a tearful laughter. 
• Its payback time  Bully him, take his hat and hover it above his head. Truthfully, without his hat Scaramouche looks like a little schoolboy. Overall less intimidating.
• Tries glaring. Cute. He's really bratty as a kid, sitting on a high chair (which you had to help him get on) and demanding his servants to do his bidding. In reality, his personality never changed. You realized that even as a grown up he still acts like this (bratty kid in a grown man body).
• The curse made his week a living hell. Signora had the audacity to pull his ear when he misbehaves. Childe constantly messes with his hair while giving head pats and the WORST of all, pinching his cheeks. Scaramouche never wanted to commit arson so bad in his life.
• Eventually finds a cure so he doesn't have to deal with it anymore and orders everyone to never speak of it again. Though, he's plotting how he'll get revenge on everyone who made fun of him using the very same curse (You better run).
~~x~~
Diluc
• "Oh…Oh my! Diluc you're just so cute!" 
• Diluc grimaces as you glomp him in this state. How can you help it? With his head so small it makes his hair all the more fluffier! His coat no longer fits him to the point the sleeves had made past his fingertips. He tried wielding his claymore again, only to lose balance and fall flat onto his bum
• (insert kid voice "Retribution!") Did I mention the babyface?
• Diluc tries to act as if everything was normal, acting like the Darknight hero and Mondstadt's Tycoon but fun-sized. He couldn't. There was no way people would take him seriously in business meetings. Same with fighting abyss mages, his smaller form was too much of a disadvantage. Thus you ended up doing most of his paperwork.
• One time you caught him sitting on the floor couldn't reach his office desk  while reading away the various books for a cure. It was three in the morning. You told him it was way past his bedtime and he argues saying when did he ever have a curfew schedule. In the end you managed to convince him and he begrudgingly obliges.
• The type to NOT ask for help even when it's obvious that he really needs it. Before he was the one who helped you reach things from the top shelves, oh how the tables have turned. He avoids Kaeya like a plague unless he was in it for another round of funny remarks. When he wanted to go out and get some fresh air, you insisted on accompanying him. Worst mistake in his life. A travelling merchant bumps into you and commented that you had a very cute son. Diluc was mortified.
• The day ended up with him sulking in his room. Although it was tempting, you resisted from cooing over his adorable form after days of treating him like a child. It wasn't because you were teasing him, Diluc just works so hard that you wanted to spoil him a bit. At least he could still play a game of chess with you.
• When things went back to normal, Diluc ensures that you will NOT see him as your son.
~~x~~
Kaeya
• "Well look who it is, my little Prince Kaeya~"
• Tries really hard not be bothered by it at all. Kaeya still maintains his suave facade, throwing in a couple of flirting lines here and there (and forcing his voice to go a few octaves too low in which puberty has yet to occur HA). Though no matter what approach, he couldn't ignore the sparkling mischievious glint in your eye. You were obviously not taking him seriously.
• Things couldn't get any worse. He lost his masculine physique and boob window, he wasn't able to go to certain places without supervision. But the worst thing of all was that he was underaged. Kaeya hated the fact he couldn't drink anymore, he even insisted you to sneak him a few bottles (which you refused) and had to settle with plain beverages such as fruit juice (what an insult). He was never really grounded since his childhood days but he certainly felt like he was grounded now. 
• Kaeya still kisses you on the lips whether you like it or not. If you ask him to sit on your lap, he will find a way to turn the position into his favour such as resting his face between your breasts. You're not gonna treat him like a kid, nuh-uh, he actively avoids it.
• Since his personality still remains, Kaeya is a naughty child. He will use his innocent appearance to sway people (even you) to get what he wants. That was how he was able to take a sip of the wine he stole somewhere (he wouldn't tell you). Diluc scolded him heavily and threatened to ban him from drinking from his Tavern for a week (they ended up arguing, Kaeya being the passive aggressive little shit he is).
• He was extremely relieved to return back to his normal form again. He has so much to catch up (specifically his bedtime activities with you *wink wonk*)
~~x~~
Child(e)
• "Hmmm to be honest, this actually suits you very much."
• Unlike the other boys, Childe was completely okay with it. Turns out that YOU were the one who was not going to be okay. If you thought taking care of Teucer was energy-draining then expect Childe to take that tenfold and beyond.
• You've officially became his full-time babysitter who is in desperate need of a raise (and rest). You can't take your eyes off of him and archons forbid that he will ever meet Klee. One point he'll be running ahead by your side and the next you'll find him getting himself in a 1vs7 situation with some shady looking treasure hoarders. Childe genuinely thinks he could take them on but the curse downgraded his abilities. You carried him and barely made out of it alive. (This made you ponder whether the best solution would be to strap him against a chair for the time being…)
• Childe being a child will eat all the candies and ice cream he pleases. You wonder if the curse also turned him a few years back or was it that he acts like this simply because he wanted to (it was the latter). He loves being spoiled, spoiled by you! Childe demands your full attention, spoon-feeding his meals, back rubs and head pats. Yep, he's definitely doing this on purpose.
• Did he just call you 'mommy'? (Childe has mommy kink confirmed).  He has so much energy that it was exhausting, you literally had to drag him away from what ever he was doing in order to get him to bed. "No Childe, your sleeping time is 9p.m stop whining." He bargained that he'll sleep if you sleep beside him (you didn't get any sleep. You knew what he was planning. In the end, you tried to make sure he didn't sneak out behind your back.)
• Finally you were able to get out of that hell-hole. Childe promised to make it up to you, you deserve it after all~
~~x~~
Small (aka Xiao)
• "Did you know in the Liyuean language, Xiao translates to small?" You didn't say that out loud. Not when he's this angry (this angy)
• He just stands there, crossing his arms and grumbling. You were hesitant to touch him in case he might hiss at you. Xiao has always been short, maybe an inch taller than you, but seeing him like this made you think 'my almighty yaksha can't be this cute♡'
• He gets mad when you no longer call his name for help. How could you? He's just so precious~ Xiao makes it clear that no matter what form he takes, it doesn't make him weak ("Adepti and you mortals are nothing alike." Or so he says but you could tell he wasn't running as fast as he used to because…small legs). You may not comment on it aloud but he can tell just by the look on your face and it irritates him.
• Also the type to not ask for help but worse. Xiao is an agressive little kid, he seems as if he'll be willing to bite someone's finger off if they try to pet him (He gives strong cat vibes, so thats understandable). His spear was too big for him to wield so he often has to put it away or else he might knock someone over with it. Xiao hates being short so you'll be hearing him complain alot.
• Since he was an adepti, he didn't need to sleep however, the curse must have brought down his power by a significant amount to the point you DID catch him napping. You almost swooned out loud just by taking a glance upon his face. For once he didn't wear his signature grumpy look. Xiao appears like a normal child, one full of innocence. His snoring was soft and breathly but that just meant he was deep asleep. (You wished to take a picture). 
• Of course, everything had to come to an end (much to your disappointment), he still complains about the incident to this day.
~~x~~
Zhongli
• How is it possible for a baby to still look so handsome? (Must be his godly abilities)
• Zhongli is unfazed by this 'curse' since his past lives have already taken many forms. Though for some reason whenever he walks down the streets of Liyue, young girls, mothers, ladies all come him was and start complimenting him and gushing over him (he was suffocating). They'd squeeze him tight or squish his cheeks, it only takes once glance before the little girls start blushing and hiding behind their moms.
• Needless to say, despite what form he is in, Zhongli is still able to get free stuff. He got some free candies and some free kites to play with. You had to help him carry his items. Zhongli ends up tripping too much because his tailcoat reached his feet (he decided to just take it off. You had to hold that too). Seems like he can have anyone do things for him in the end HA.
• He still got that drippy voice and you're just like ???? "What on Teyvat Zhongli, you're a kid." This is why you can't see him as one, its nearly impossible.
• Actively avoids Hu Tao and Childe. Once Hu Tao caught sight of him and chased him for hours, he couldn't stay in one spot knowing that she might just pop out of no where. Childe still spoils him, however Zhongli feels irritated by the fact the only things Childe buys him toys (its different when other people do it.)
• Everytime you guys go back strolling through Liyue, you had to hold his hand in case more women come swarming hin again. You swear that at this rate he might get kidnapped because hes just such a beautiful baby.
• Zhongli learned an important lesson after his curse was lifted: no matter how many years he lives throughout  never take a form of a child.
~~x~~
Albedo
• You find him buried beneath a pile of books and had to dig him out before he suffocates.
• Albedo has the cutest eyes, they're big and round full of curiosity and they sparkle too (he has the prettiest eyes out of everyone tbh). He is the only person who is fascinated by this outcome and immediately goes in the wild to test out his new physique. 
• He was always curious why Klee T-poses when she runs so he decided to try it out himself. She was thrilled to find out that she now has a little brother to play with. In the end, Albedo indulges in the games she always wanted to play but couldn't because he was too old: princess dress up tea parties.
• You felt many things when you saw Albedo wearing a frilly gown and a plastic tiara tucked on his head. Deep down you knew regardless of what gender Albedo was still pretty. Klee even had the guts to redo his hair and hardly anyone was able to recognize it was him at all. He has pigtails, PIGTAILS! You made sure to burn that image into the very depths of your mind forever.
• The only advantage was the he was ablw to fit through small spaces, other than that, being small was way too inconvenient. He knocked down a few of his potion bottles which damaged the floor (thankfully not him) because they were lethal (he wonders how Klee was able to not injure herself when using bombs). You carried him and lifted him to alot of places such as trudging through the snow because Albedo would surely fall on his face due to his small form.
• Enough was enough, he only lasted a day with this and decided to just make a potion and put an end to the curse once and for all.

Brain empty, only scenarios about you sitting in their lap only to just watch their beautiful eyes 🥺. LIKE I CAN’T GO ONE DAY WITHOUT IMAGINING THAT, AND JUST THE CLOSENESS TO OUR BELOVED??? OR MAYBE I JUST LOVE EYES DUDE, LIKE, WOW I LOVE ALL THE TINY DETAILS THEY HAVE AND FBWODBWKXNSK
Like:
Reader: *proceeds to sit in Zhongli’s lap* Hello, I’ve come to just stare and maybe touch your beautiful face for 2 hours
Zhongli: Sounds good to me
BDKSNSKSNS IT’S ALSO FUNNY THINKING HOW THE REACTIONS MAY VARY, LIKE, maybe Diluc, Dain and Albedo would be like uhhh honey I’ve got work to do but they let you stay nonetheless, Kaeya, Venti and Childe are going to be little shits about it (“oh, didn’t know you wanted to be so close to me) and Xiao would THROW YOU BECAUSE NO THANK YOU TOO MUCH CONTACT (eventually he would let you sit, but it would take a lot of time)
Also, I woukd have given the same scenario but with the girls, and I’ve come to realize that THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE ALWAYS SO BUSY THAT IT WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT, LIKE, NING, GANYU AND JEAN?? THEY ARE ALWAYS WORKING 😭🥺
-💫 (I will totally fail my test tomorrow, but I’m slowly accepting it and it scares me)
NAH BC IM TURNING THIS INTO MINI SCENARIOS RN LMAO THANK U BB FOR THE FOOD🥰🥰
zhongli: he doesn’t care if he’s busy or he’s just lounging around. If you decide to come sit on his lap out of the blue, automatically he’s going to wrap his arms around you. When you stare into his eyes, he can’t help but let out a small laugh that sounds so adorable it could make you squeal on sight. He’ll ask why you’re staring at him for a period of time and you’ll simply state that you’re trying to get mesmerized by his eyes. He’ll let you and hold you close, kissing your head as he reminds you how adorable you are.
Diluc: man will be working and you’ll be like “mmm right now,” and decide to sit on his lap. When you do, he stiffens just a little as his hands are preoccupied holding a pen and paper in each of them. He’ll let out a huff and mutter something into your ear, something along the lines of telling you to wait until he’s finished. But you whine, shake your head and impossibly scoot closer to him in his lap. With defeat, he’ll wrap an arm around you and work around you, enjoying your company nonetheless
venti: ABSOLUTELY LOVES WHEN YOU SIT ON HIS LAP. He LOVES holding you close no matter what. So when you surprise him by sitting on his lap, he’ll like out a noise of excitement and immediately smother you, burying his head in your neck as he places sloppy kisses, listening to your laughs and failed attempts at shoving you off. “Ah but darling you came to me first! I’m just returning the gesture is all!”
Childe: ah I don’t even need to explain this one LMAO. This man right here, he would beg for you to sit on his lap. It brings him a sense of comfort having you near him and for..other purposes but that’s besides the point. If you sit somewhere that ISNT his lap, he’ll whine and pout, patting his thighs as he calls for you. He has to convince you to sit down by saying it’s comfortable, even if you know that but you love getting him pouty.
Xiao: xiao xiao xiao...poor baby is touch starved to the point where he’s still unused to being shown affection :( holding hands is bit of a struggle but he eventually got used to it. Of course you didn’t just sit on his lap, only brought up the idea to which he turned down instantly. Instead of being upset, you simply nodded and hoped that in the future it would happen. Well it did and it was the best thing xiao experienced. It made him feel warm and fuzzy
albedo: now this man will persistently try to get you off of his lap while he’s working. His job takes 100% of his focus and with you around, he’ll never get it done. But since you’re so stubborn, you refuse to budge. He can only sigh and maybe ask you one more time, more sternly but with a soft voice. You still say no and snuggle into him. He doesn’t get mad, only pats your head and decides to take a break because maybe working for 5 hours straight isn’t good for the human body.
kaeya: HA. This man takes everything up a notch. He’s touchy and just loves feeling your skin underneath his hands. He’ll mock you and say there were plenty of other places to sit but you chose his lap? Something ain’t right there but he doesn’t question it, instead relishing in the warmth you provide. His hands will wander up and down your thighs, your back and even your arms. His kisses are nice too🥰

Hiii! I saw that your requests were open and I was wondering if you could do a Genshin highschool au (modern au??? Idk what to call it-) and how Childe, Venti, Albedo and diluc would confess to their crush. Idk I just think it's a cute idea :)
Anyways feel free to ignore! Thanks and have a nice day! Don't forget to eat and drink water! <3
Note: sorry for how late this is but ofc!! thanks for the request and take care as well!
Fandom: Genshin Impact
Characters: Childe, Venti, Albedo, Diluc
Childe
Lost in your own world, you do not notice the red ginger waltzing his way up to the front of the class. Only when you hear audible gasps from the other students do you glance up, surprise coloring your face. 
His azure blue eyes are glued to you, mischief lining the corners of his mouth. Today his red locks are slightly gelled nicely, keeping out of his face and accentuating his features all the more. He dons his school uniform well, looking tall and confident up there, despite having everyone’s attention on him. But of course, that is just who he is as a person -- popular with the student population for being the class clown and a great track athlete with those long legs of his. 
Which is why you nearly fall out of your chair at his declaration. “[Y/N],” he called out. Pairs of eyes follow to you, making you still as a statue. “I... I really like you. You are funny and strong and brave and better of a person than I ever will be. Will you go out with me?”
The class ‘awwed’, lapping the entire scene in with excitement. You want to facepalm, thinking how stupid he is for confessing in front of everyone. What if you reject him? Goodness. He truly is such an idiot. “No,” you say. You watch his face pale for a moment and the students growing silent. Unable to hold in the laugh spilling from your lips, you prevent the awkwardness from seeping in. “I’m kidding. I like you too, Childe.”
Everyone burst into applause, as Childe hurries to you, wrapping his arms around you. Unlike before, his confidence has faded away, left with a vulnerable boy who is so relieved to not get rejected by the one he loves. 
Venti
Sunlight filter through the windows of the music room, casting a sheen past the wispy dust dancing in the air. A young boy with braided ombre locks peacefully sits on the window sill, his legs kicking forth in steady rhythm. Humming under his breath, his teal eyes dart to the door that opened up, instantly brightening up in excitement. 
You peek into the room to find the musical genius, Venti. His childlike charisma is found in the corner, his figure soft and beautiful. After having music class with him, you grew quite close to him -- he never fails to make you smile. He is different from others, a free spirit unable to tied down to anything. Never afraid to seek the thing he wants, he has pushed you to do the same. 
“You’re here,” he breathed out, soaring down from the high ledge. “Can I play you a song I’ve been working on?”
Beaming, you sit down on a chair and nod. Touched that he chooses you to hear something so vulnerable first, you are more than willing to do anything for him. He is a cherished friend -- one you never hope to let go. “Please do.”
He starts to strum the golden harp he’s holding onto, the melodic sound of it wavering into the room. He starts to sing words of no meaning, clear and pretty to match with the instrument. It mesmerize you from the bat, your eyes gluing the stunning male in front of you. His eyes are closed, but his actions were soulful, as if every note wants to say something to you. 
When he finishes, he stops you before you could clap. “Wait,” he whispers, coming closer to you, his eyes rimmed with tears. “I want to tell you a little secret. I like you, [Y/N]. A lot.”
You drop your jaw, blinking in shock at this newfound confession. For a minute, all is silent, the remnant of the song still stuck playing in your head like a broken record. Your cheeks warm and your heart race, and you realize you already know your answer to his confession. “I like you too, Venti.”
Albedo
In the quiet of the library where you can hear a pin drop, you listen to the soft ‘sha’ of the rain pouring outside of the school. It is the perfect day to study with the renown Einstein of the school, Albedo. You lift your gaze up to see him sitting across from you, crystal blue eyes peering down through his lenses. 
He has been very helpful lately, always offering to walk you through problems you are stuck on. It makes your insides flutter, taken off guard by his generosity. Stupid you are, you used to assume him to be a prick, just because he is smart. But now you know better... and the more you get to learn about him, the more you want to see him, not just for tutor sessions. 
He looks up from his textbook and you flinch back, ashamed for getting caught staring. How embarrassing. Quickly looking back down, you pretend to study, frantically scanning the unreadable letters painting on the page. You stiffen when you hear his voice. “Do you need help on anything?” he asks you. Even making his way around the table, you grow flustered when he bends down, platinum blond hair falling from his sides. 
Not only is he smart, but he is beautiful. 
He turns to look at you, inquiry coloring his features. 
“Oh!” you force out, chuckling a little. “No... I’m okay for now-- thank you though.”
He nods, yet does not leave your side, with brows furrowing in deep thought. “Well, I need help on something. Do you mind?”
Albedo? Needing help? How strange. Did the world just flip upside down. You nod in response anyway, unsure whether or not you can actually help him. 
“I can’t figure this out, but why do I feel so nervous around you?”
You pause, heart pounding so loudly against your chest you can hear nothing else. Did this mean...? He couldn’t possibly? But maybe you are too desperate not to voice out the suggestion. “Do you... like me?” you croak out. “Like... like like me?”
He does not respond for a moment, pondering long and hard about it. Eventually, he sits down on the chair next to you, nodding slightly. “I think I do. I like you [Y/N].”
Diluc
He is your bestfriend, your pillar, the one that has kept you true to yourself this entire school experience. No matter what, he is there for you, the one reliable person that hasn’t failed you once. And because he is that, you have grown to love him -- more than just a friend. 
Your arm is hooked around the redhead’s broad shoulder, his soft locks tickling you. In that usual ponytail of his, you always admired his looks, for he could pull off long hair unlike most people. Scarlet hues are trained on you, listening intently to the story you are telling him. 
Reaching your locker, you release your hold on him and begin to spin the locker combination. It clicks and unlocks and as you try to find a notebook, something else caught your eye. There, laying in the middle, is a delicately wrapped letter, accompanied by a lone rose. When did this get here? Blinking at it in confusion, you hesitantly take it, pulling at the silk that binded the thick paper together. 
Dear [Y/N],
you are my best friend, but to tell you the truth, I’ve always longed more from you. Because I have feelings for you, and you only. No matter how many years has gone and come, it has never changed. 
-Diluc
You turn to look at your best friend, disbelief coloring your expression. His head is downturn, his ears growing red in embarrassment. Holding tightly to the rose, you stand on your tippy toe to place a kiss on his cheek. “I have feelings for you too,” you breath out. 
“You do?” he echoes, his face lighting up like a puppy, yet too awkward to make a move. 
“I do.”

also LOL i am a whore for any songs by the neighbourhood but SPECIFICALLY crybaby (*´▽`*)the line “but u know, when u know” … now what if i said enemies to lovers albedo? WHAT IF I DID? the potential he has in like a modern au setting i am gonna rip my hair out. this all under the cut IM NOT EVEN SORRY? i am mentally unwell 🥰😳👍🏻 also some kaeya x reader in this sorry i love him too he deserves the tumblr dot com slash lumiluvr spotlight too 😋‼️
the whole academic rivalry because let’s face it lots of us love academic validation…. but albedo just does it cause he gets a kick out of seeing u frustrated/annoyed at him solely bc he thinks it’s funny. and it takes u fucking ages (bc i love the oblivious reader trope i wont even apologise for it) to realise: holy shit this asshole doesn’t even CARE about this ‘rivalry’ !!! and good god imagine the smug look on his (handsome .. 😒) face when u ask him for tutoring help … MF IS ALL LIKE: oh? you’re asking me for help? let me hear it again.
u, looking away w/ embarrassment: albedo can u help me
albedo, (smugbedo): hm? what was that? you want me to what?
u: i want ur help
albedo: is it just me or is the rain rlly loud today ^__^
u: this mf. -_-
and like… u take time to open up and albedo welcomes it don’t tell me he doesn’t like a challenge. but he doesn’t even see it as a hardship he just. accepts it all and thinks it makes you even more u. definitely teases u to celestia and beyond and isn’t even sorry for it. but if anyone where to tease u about a grade he is the first person to step in w/ an eerily calm voice and expression … CAN U SEE WHERE IM GOING WITH THIS.
but u still think he’s an insufferable asshole (which .. he is insufferable he gets a kick out of it) and when u meet klee the definition of sunshine it like: how r u two related. she’s so sweet and loving and ur … not 😒 and he just laughs at u/gives u a small smile. klee refers to u as “big bro albedo’s nice friend” … eventually calls u big sibling u GUYYYYYSSS… klee is so baby.
but my fave part is like … when the whole “rivalry” thing just disappears. and he becomes something so much more than a friend and the smug fuck knows. he knows how you feel about him but won’t make a move because it’s so much more rewarding seeing you awkwardly clear your throat and avoid his eyes from embarrassment and when you fiddle with your shirt sleeves OH BOY !!!! will purposely do stuff to make you heart pound in your chest but never gives you the impression he doesn’t reciprocate your feelings, if anything it just proves how much he likes you BUT HE JUST NEVER SAYS IT OUT LOUD
and when u finally confess you’re breathing hard bc holy shit is confessing nerve wracking and he just goes: took u long enough ^_^ and ur just like: what did u just say. and u two start arguing outside his house and klee and kaeya (best wingman i will get to it in a sec) just watch u like: 😒😇!!!
doesn’t sketch u in ur good moments. sketches u with ur double chin and when ur a little bloated and when ur breaking out. and he looks over the little art pieces with fondness in his eyes someone tell this man he is in love before i bang my head on a wall
kaeya tries embarrassing him but the kick albedo gets is … he just doesn’t feel embarrassed he’s just like “yeah i like [y/n] what of it” OHHHHHHH LAWD !! but reality is kaeya is the bestest bff u can have and i will die on this hill and listen him and albedo r a package deal ok. u date albedo ur new best friend is kaeya and if u date kaeya then BAM ur new bff is albedo who crashes ur dates.
no cause u and kaeya r sleeping together (not like that 😋) and u wake up early next day looking at albedo’s face. and when u start screaming and run downstairs and wake up klee … awkward conversation over albedo’s morning coffee (cold milk and instant coffee don’t question it)
he also will crash ur dates with klee first it’s u and kaeya going on a fall walk and before u know it there’s a polaroid of klee smushing ice cream on ur face … lord have MERCY
anyway i might add onto this but feel free to send me asks on modern au mondstadt people (specifically jean i am in love with her miss gunnhildr PLEASE PICK UP MY CALLS??????????) especially the ladies (lisa and jean. that’s who i’m referring to.)

seraph of the end + genshin impact
Tumblr media
main: diluc. hear me out, okay. generally, u main based on playstyle, right? (i mean. i don't, but. the consensus seems to be that i am strange for that lmao.) i think that yuu would put a LOT of stress on doing high physical damage, n a lot of people recommend diluc for that. he's ranked pretty high tier, he looks cool, he has a big sword, n he's pretty standard for a dps. also, i feel like yuu is a LOUD player n screaming along with diluc's attack voice lines would be therapeutic for him. i also think the fact that diluc mains drain their hp incredibly fast bc of how reckless they are (yes i am talking about myself too) is very in character for him.
favorite character: also diluc. HEAR ME OUT. i think he would be really taken with the whole darknight hero thing. yuu is also a very protective person n puts a lot of stock in the safety of what he cares about n i feel like he would just find diluc very cool for that.
aesthetically appealing: razor. source: trust me bro.
Tumblr media
main: XIAO. i cannot stress this one enough n i will not budge. i can't really tell u why exactly i think he would enjoy polearm users, but the idea of self inflicted damage is very much a vampire weapon choice (thorn sword, yk) n i cannot believe how fitting it is. which leads right into the next category, actually.
favorite character: also xiao. both mika n yuu strike me as the types to main their favorite characters (i am not just saying this bc i relate to mika n i do that what do u MEAN) n not only do i think mika would relate to xiao, but i also think he would find the lore n the roles of the adepti REALLY interesting.
aesthetically appealing: i'm torn on this one bc i want to say albedo. all his outfit details, his color scheme, his hair, his EYES. all of it just screams mika to me. HOWEVER rosaria also strikes me as a design mika would really like.
Tumblr media
main: torn for this one. on the one hand, i think she would have an incredible dps beidou that does FAR more damage than poor yuu's diluc n she refuses to give him her build. on the other hand, i think she would also be the type of person to absolutely SHRED domains with a dps barbara. overall she definitely has the best builds of the team, n is really good at team composition.
favorite character: mona! mona says what she thinks, n shinoa would LOVE that. i think she'd admire her pride n determination n that would really inspire her.
aesthetic appealing: keqing! she would love her colors (specifically the purple) n i think she'd find the cat ears really cute. keqing is also a really lovely character n i think she'd have a crush on her.
Tumblr media
main: childe. look at this man. LOOK at him. u CANNOT tell me he does not give off obnoxious childe main energy. he fights the oceanid with childe bc he thinks he's invincible. he goes into domains with the wrong level just to mess with people. he's genuinely GOOD though, so it's hard for the team to be too upset.
favorite character: baizhu bc they're both suspicious zhongli. guren has a crush on peepaw pass it on. no i'm kidding (no i'm not) but they both have that "weird n intense methods of testing strength that are definitely questionable but they do still care" kind of thing going on.
aesthetically appealing: kaeya. i don't actually know where i'm getting this from i just had a vague thought that kaeya kind of gives me a similar vibe to shinya n i was like "yes okay this makes sense."
Tumblr media
main: sucrose! absolutely god tier support over here. he definitely did a ton of research on how to build her. u see him in a domain n ur like "oh thank god." he also has an extra set of artifacts n weapons aside for her bc he wanted to be prepared, so he plays her as a support or a dps depending on the needs of the party. he likes to have options.
favorite character: jean. hear me out, i think he'd really admire her. she works SO hard n she cares SO much about mondstadt n yoichi would find a lot of comfort in that. also he's a feminist.
aesthetically appealing: venti. between the bow n just how BEAUTIFUL his clothes are, yoichi would be smitten.
Tumblr media
main: rosaria. he would love polearms n that is a fact. he definitely pulled on the recent childe banner rerun to get her n ended up with childe by accident, which guren was very upset about bc he was pulling for childe constellations. he builds up her crit like CRAZY n as much as him n yuu don't want to admit it, they work really well together in domains.
favorite character: qiqi. the big brother instinct. he does not trust baizhu. i think she reminds him of mirai in a way, too.
aesthetically appealing: chongyun. again. source: trust me bro.
Tumblr media
main: hu tao. her n mika are NIGHTMARES in domains bc of their self-damaging skills, but unlike mika, mitsuba is actually really careful with it, n makes sure she builds up hu tao's hp so she doesn't inconvenience her team.
favorite character: diona. they both have very similar vibes, mitsuba would find her adorable. she would also argue to the DEATH with anyone online who was being creepy about her/the other young characters.
aesthetically appealing: ningguang. she has a massive crush on her.
Tumblr media
main: lisa. ranged attacks, wide ranges of effect, really cool burst/ult, n can cause some of the best reactions with her element. he outlasts almost anyone else in domains bc he seems to never take any damage.
favorite character: dainsleif. he wants him to get a release so bad.
aesthetically appealing: xiao. he loves the colors.
Tumblr media
main: keqing. she is a huge fan of the whole teleporting thing. her elemental damage is nuts. she had the best sword on her so soon after she started the game that everyone's heads were spinning. she RAGES when she loses, though, n doesn't like teamwork/prefers to carry.
favorite character: lumine, but only if aether was picked as a protagonist. she likes the idea of lumine being the villain.
aesthetically appealing: fischl. do i really have to elaborate on this one.
Tumblr media
main: xiao, to piss off mika i actually cannot think of a good enough example for just one character. i feel like he plays for fun n not for consistency of builds, so he just switches between characters to support that. i can see him playing support n not healing his team on purpose bc he thinks it's funny, though.
favorite character: signora. he laughed his ASS off when she punted venti.
aesthetically appealing: xingqiu, probably. with those frilly sleeves.

Selene’s Voice Lines - Character Opinions
IA collection of Selene’s voice lines and their opinions of other characters
Feel free to ask questions about them!
There’s a lot of voice lines because Selene is based in two areas and I was having fun lmao
Voice lines under the cut!
Tumblr media
Mondstadt
Amber
Oh Amber? Me and her get along really well! I would love to see her again to catch up with her!
Diluc
I haven’t seen Diluc for the longest, the last time I saw him was when he left the Knights after his fathers death. I heard he’s back in Mondstadt though, I wonder how he is
Jean
Jean is hardworking, I admire that about her. She was extremely supportive of me when I decided to leave the knights
Kaeya
I could never pin what Kaeya is thinking... I’m curious about what goes on in his head... oh well
Lisa
Lisa is really nice! We used to drink tea together a lot! We still exchange letters whenever we can
Venti
The drunk bard? I remember escorting him out the Angels Share a lot. I remember I always tried taking him home but he’d always find a way to disappear before I could ask him where he lives
Albedo
Is he still the chief alchemist? Yes? Hmm, he doesn’t talk much, but he and Kaeya seem to get along. I wonder how he’s doing
Rosaria
Hmm... Rosaria and I had a small relationship some time ago, though we inevitably broke up because of... differences
Cael [Amnesia anon’s oc]
Caels great! We get along like a house on fire! I have memories of him turning up into my office at different times of the day to make sure I had dinner, these days he'll appear out of nowhere and take a day or two to adventure with me! It's always great fun! Though... Cael has a fear of lightning, so I have to tone down some of my elemental bursts a bit. I don't mind it though! I rather tone down how I use my vision over losing a dear friend!
Tumblr media
Liyue
Beidou
She’s the Captain of her own fleet. She sounds really cool, I wonder if she’d let me upon the Alcor to travel the world further
Ningguang
The Tianquan is certainly a title to hold. I don’t envy that though, it sounds like she hides herself away in the Jade Chamber. It isn’t much fun to stay in one place for too long
Qiqi
Qiqi... Qiqi... oh the kid that supplies me with the herbs and stuff!! I know her memory is a little iffy, but she always tells me which herbs I need to use for which ailment!
Xiangling
She makes great food and she’s really passionate. I think she sneaks me bigger portions because I’ve mentioned that I eat really small meals
Tartaglia
Tartaglia? Oh Childe! Yeah I’ve seen him out and about a few times, we’ve had a few conversations. Though I heard he was a member of the fatui...
Zhongli
He’s Hu Tao’s babysitter right? He seems cool? I’m not sure that’s the right word... he’s prim and proper, it’s kind of old fashioned... but he seems okay
Hu Tao
Hu Tao keeps offering me coffin deals, it’s a little concerning. But once you look past that quirk she’s really quite funny. She pulls pranks on me and I get her back somehow every time
Chrissy
Chrissy and I were never meant to work out... we work better as friends
Kazuha
I’ve seen him a few times wondering Liyue, he’s from Inazuma right? Seems interesting... I think I’d like to have tea with him sometime

Kazuomi: Voice lines
Voice Claim: Atsushi Tamaru
Note: the lower the voice line is, the higher your friendship with Kazuomi needs to be to view it.
Added to team: Oh? What task do you have to interest me today?
Hello: Kazuomi, Captain of the knight of Favonuis's Strike team, The little party you formed has caught my attention for a while now. Do allow me to join your journey. Traveling with you sounds more appealing than handling the slackers of the knights.
Chat: Training : You want to join me for training?... You have no sense of self-preservation, Do you?
Chat: Height : It is cute how short you are, traveler.
Chat: Trivial Requests : As much as I know that a knight must help those who ask for it. I can't help but be irritated when a person requests assistance because they are too lazy to do it themselves. Take this as a warning if you ever slack off, traveler.
When It Rains: A little rain won’t stop us. Let us continue on.
Good Night: Tired? Take a rest traveler, If you wish to continue your journey with me tomorrow. Then do call me.
Good Morning: Good morning little traveler, let us make this day one worth our time.
Good Evening: Night has fallen. If you are scared of the creatures in the shadows, then leave. I will handle them.
When It Snows: Cold : Cold? Take my coat, I won’t be needing it.
When It Snows: Thoughts : How annoying.
When It's Windy: Knowing a certain redhead, he must be saying some climactic line about crime right now.
Good Afternoon: Want to stop for a meal? I know a good place to dine if you wish to join me.
About Us: Requests : If you ever need something, call me. I am willing to pull some strings for you.
About Us: Competency : It seems like I have underestimated how capable you are. Good. At least you are not incompetent. 
Interesting Things: I don’t drink. Drinking dulls my senses and frankly. I do not see how invigorating others make it to be.
About Kazuomi: My title? It’s just another name dramatic folks want to call me by.
About the Vision: Visions are said to be gifts to those who are worthy. The cryo archon has a funny way of making people worthy of these “gifts”.
Something to Share : Ever since we were young, Jean and I have a little game where I steal her slices of pizza, and she has to catch me. Don't worry. I always buy her another serving after I do successfully do it.
About Jean: Jean is worthy of her title as acting grandmaster. Honestly, I do hope she gets to keep the title. She deserves it after all her hard work.
About Kaeya: *Sigh* What has Kaeya done this time? Oh? you're just curious? Well then, As a co-worker Kaeya is a capable captain when he wants to. As a friend, Kaeya is my ever-appearing headache.
About Diluc: You want to know about Master Diluc? Well... I can say that he is a responsible citizen of Mondstadt. That is all that I can say without Diluc appearing out of nowhere and sending a flaming phoenix towards me. Honestly, I wonder if Diluc has some sort of tracker attached to me in case I say something embarrassing about him.
About Diona: The little munchkin is so young yet so ambitious. I see her as my younger sibling. Whenever I have free time, I try to spend it playing with her and sometimes teaching her new techniques.
About Sucrose: Her shy attitude is so entertaining. The embarrassed expression on her face whenever I tease her about it is gold. Albedo always calls on her whenever I try to tease her even more though.
About Eula: Topics: She always talks about Revenge, Revenge, Revenge. It is quite a show to see her try to continue on with her speech whenever Amber pops up to invite her to another of their outings.
About Eula: Skills: I get assigned to patrol with Spindrift Knight quite often. It is almost funny how well we fight together. I once heard a guarding knight that they pitied the monsters that we will come across on our patrol. It gave me a good laugh that day.
About Albedo: Have you met the little prince before? He's such fine company. One time when I was able to put a flower crown on him, He threw his paintbrush at me. It was worth it though, He did look cute when I put a flower crown on his hair.
About Kazuomi: I : What's next?
About Kazuomi: II : Want to join me for a round of chess? Don't worry, I'll go easy on you.
About Kazuomi: III : It seems like I won. You put up a good challenge traveler.
About Kazuomi: IV : Ready for a rematch? *laugh* Don't sulk, I'll teach you how to get better if you want to.
About Kazuomi: V : I enjoy the challenges, you present traveler. I do hope you will never cease entertaining me. Though, with your attitude, it seems like it will not be that hard for you.
Kazuomi's Hobbies: I enjoy taking care of my cat, Ombre. It pains me whenever I have to leave her alone during missions, but the knights always feed her when I'm gone. Whenever I do stay within the city, I make sure to spend time with her. Sometimes I even let Ombre join me at a patrol around Mondstadt. On one particular patrol, I was able to teach her how to claw a Treasure Hoarder's face.
Kazuomi's Troubles: I can feel the paperwork of irresponsible knights stacking up at my office as we speak. Honestly, Sometimes I think of just freezing and shattering the papers themselves. Maybe I should disappear for a week to teach them a lesson...
Favorite Food: I enjoy Sautéed Matsutake for a dish. The flavors of the Matsutake, spices, and butter come together so wonderfully. If only I can keep some of it wherever I go...
Least Favorite Food: Seafood would be my least favorite dish. I know knights must not be picky eaters, but I cannot stomach the taste and texture of seafood. I can tolerate fish, but shrimps, octopuses, and crabs are a big no in my book.
Birthday: Happy Birthday, my favorite traveler. If you have any tasks to do for today, then tell me. I will willingly do them in your stead instead. After all, you do deserve a rest on your special day.
Feelings About Ascension: Intro : Well this is a surprise.
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up : Things are about to get a lot more interesting...
Feelings About Ascension: Climax : I thought my life was just a form of entertainment for those above. Yet, it seems like you were able to show me another view of it. Thank you, Partner, for doing that. *laugh* Don't act so surprised. I apologize if I had not shown my thankfulness to you sooner.

The Man That Came Back
Thanks so much to @minky-for-short and @spiky-lesbian, my wonderful betas
Please consider leaving a comment on Ao3, it’s free, easy and means so much! 
---
For the next part of their plan, a heist needs to be pulled off in the fanciest bar on Saturn. And Buddy knows exactly how Juno can disguise himself, much to the delight of Nureyev
---
“Captain, all due respect and everything but that’s got to be the most ridiculous idea I ever heard.”
Buddy gave him a more than slightly exhausted look over the building plans she was studying on her comms screen, “You know, darling, it would be incredibly helpful if that wasn’t your response to every single plan I put in front of you…”
Juno gave her one of his scowls, the ones where he pouted a little and scrunched up his face, where he knew he was being unreasonable but was going to be stubborn all the same, “Well, let’s just say this one tops the whole damn lot! I don’t even...how...how do you even imagine I’d be any good at this?”
Buddy seemed to be tuning him out for the most part, eyes returning to her screen as the floorplan of the bar rotated slowly, exactly where their marks would enter, meet and most likely leave plotted out in glowing lines, “From the data I gathered on you, same way I know not to send you to any job that may, for some unknown reason, take place in a seafood restaurant owing to your allergy to shellfish. I like to know my crew, young lady, their likes, dislikes, the skills they boast about...and the skills they don’t. Keeps things smooth, interesting and us alive.”
Juno had very little reply to that, still choking on the embarrassment he was hiding behind annoyance, “But...what kind of database has that on file?”
“No database that I’ve ever heard of, darling, but you are aware that your high school yearbooks are also digitised and on file, easily accessible in the archives if one has no more information than your name?”
Juno stalled at that, turning somehow redder, ��And that was relevant when hiring me to be a space pirate, was it?”
“As far as I’m concerned,” Buddy raised an eyebrow, tracing a new glowing line onto the screen with her finger, “When I am inviting someone new into my family, everything is relevant. Would you pick a sibling or cousin so carelessly, if you had the chance to do so?”
“But…” Juno screwed up his face even tighter, clearly recognising he was trapped in an unwinnable argument but unwilling to go down without a pointless fight, “Of all the jobs, why did it have to be this?”
With a flick of devastatingly manicured fingers, Buddy blew up the plan into a hologram between them and spoke as if to a small child, “The view offered by that position is unparalleled, you’ll be able to see every table as well as the entrances to the bathrooms and the kitchens, thereby covering every possible means of escape for our mark and you can provide a fitting distraction at a moment’s notice.”
“Yeah, yeah, I read the plans before I came in here,” Juno waved away her hands patiently pointing to what she was referencing on the miniature, translucent version of the Saturnian wine bar, The Albedo, “I get your point, doesn’t mean I have to like it.”
“I grant you that,” Buddy allowed, “Look, Juno, I’m not asking for talent worthy of a Saturday night stream, you just have to be functional. Enough that we can pull off what should be this very simple and problem free job. Put away that scowl of yours and have fun with it, if you can.”
Juno groaned irritatedly and stared at the still revolving plan in front of him. A simple job. Place themselves within the bar, watch the exchange of the stolen goods between their marks then wait until they leave and re-steal it right from out their back pocket. Boom, details on where the last piece of their little puzzle was hiding, where the book was. Snatch it up before anyone else could find it and not have to pay the exorbitant price their mark probably did. Don’t rob the shadowy, organised crime seller of the information who had security coming out of their ears, rob the poor idiot who bought the thing.
Easy. But it sure as hell didn’t have to be fun.
“Just do me a favour,” he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, “Please put minimal crew members in earshot. And for the love of all that’s holy, not Vesper.”
“Brown butter old fashioned please. With a cherry, if you have one to hand.”
A good alias was like stepping into a different skin, Nureyev had always been taught. Everything you were became less than a memory and this new personality took over completely. If you didn’t believe it, then your mark never would. It had to be complete. It had to be total. You essentially needed to die, for as long as required.
Nureyev still held true to that belief. But sometimes, on a job as easy as this one, he didn’t think it beyond the realm of possibility that your new identity may just happen to have the same favourite drink as you did.
He leaned against the bar and waited for his drink, allowing his eyes a pass over the scene. The bar was comfortably full without being a press of warm bodies in evening wear, just a generous handful of couples and groups at tables or standing with him at the bar, showing why Saturn was considered to have the most eccentric style of the solar planets. The headdresses were towering, the frills were voluminuous, the skirts were miles in diameter. Nureyev was starting to feel a little overshadowed in his simple black suit with gold embellishments set into the silk. The drinks poured out billows of dry ice and came in every colour on the spectrum apart from the usual ones. The music was the only thing old school, classic, a simple piano played by a very talented individual on a small, circular centre platform. Nureyev smiled, it was funny how some things kept coming back into fashion. How old could seem new if it was just old enough.
And in amongst the noise, familiarity. Rita, dressed as a waitress, moving between the tables, chatting animatedly with everyone she brought drinks to so her rounds took about ten times longer than she needed to. Hopefully that slight, almost unnoticeable lump in the pocket of her trousers was the signal jammer, just in case their mark tried to call him some kind of backup or there was a tracker on the goods. Rita didn’t often come down on jobs like this, her place was usually back on the ship, but she’d been desperate to see the bar itself (it had apparently been the setting for one of the streams she liked so much) and besides, if the signal changed, the jammer would need to hunt it down to take it out and Rita was the only one Buddy trusted with that task.
Jet was posing as a patron, dressed in smart dark clothes with his hair pulled back rather neatly, looking like he was struggling with the drink that had been set down in front of him. Nureyev couldn’t blame him, the thing had glowing orbs in it that looked like alien eggs. Not that he’d be drinking much of it anyway, in his usual roll as the muscle, just in case things went south. Jet was always a strong, comforting presence when they went to task and Nureyev was really starting to appreciate it. Muscles were certainly something he’d lacked, if he could be said to lack anything aside humility. Speed and cunning he had but his wiry frame had earned him more than a few bruised ribs in the past when jobs had turned irritatingly sour and fists had come out. He’d learned how to avoid those sorts of outcomes fast.
Nureyev’s eyes continued along, taking in the electric blue lighting fixtures making them look like they were all underwater, sleek leather furnishings, glinting gold and jewels on necks and fingers and wrists. His fingers got that old itch in them but he stilled himself. After the prize was taken, perhaps, but certainly not a minute before.
But one thing unsettled him deeply about the whole situation. The one face he hadn’t seen. The one face he would know no matter what disguise or mask it wore, the one face he always looked for first. Juno Steel was nowhere his eyes could see.
Nureyev frowned. He knew Juno was supposed to be posing as an employee of the bar itself, Rita had worked hard forging them employment orders from the owners. He’d expected to see him behind the bar serving drinks and had gotten himself a little excited about flirting with him shamelessly. They’d had some fun experiences with that, playing around with their new personas when they were supposed to be strangers. Nureyev didn’t think that was breaking his golden rule either. He couldn’t imagine anyone not being attracted to Juno Steel.
But he wasn’t here and that was settling a heavy feeling of dread in the pit of his stomach. Too many unknowns. Too many, all centred around a person he cared about. Recipe for panic sparking through his nerves and poor decisions being made.
He tried to catch Rita or Jet’s eyes, tried to calmly and subtly convey the extreme anxiety raging behind his easy, playful bar patron’s expression. But at that moment the lighting shifted, swimming and coalescing on that centre platform. There was an old fashioned mic stand there now, clearly a shift in the entertainment to welcome the actual start of the evening. Though some glitzed up aspiring starlet caterwauling their way through some old Earth classics was hardly what he needed right now, when his boyfriend was AWOL in the middle of a mission. He ignored the gathering interest around the platform and scanned the available exits, head full of potential scenarios with the seller being tipped off somehow, grabbing Juno while everyone else was occupied, leaving him bleeding in the alleyways outside the bar…
Nureyev was halfway out of his seat, drink forgotten in front of him when an artificially amplified voice echoed through the bar room and stopped him in his tracks. No introduction, no preamble,
Just a soft, shy voice buoyed by the sweet piano music, a voice he knew well.
“The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter…”
Nureyev whirled his attention to where the rest of the patrons were focused, on the individual in the long, sleek red dress standing behind the microphone, his outfit simple compared to the others on display but so striking for that.
“The winds grow colder
Suddenly you're older…”
Nureyev knew he was gaping at him but he didn’t care. His curls were spilling out over the nape of his neck and forehead, looking so soft under the blue lighting. He looked otherworldly, like something fae and unnatural, glitter dusted over his bare shoulders where it would catch the light just so, the material of the dress shifting and spilling when he swayed to the piano. And his voice.
“And all because of the man that got away.”
Since when did Juno Steel have a voice like that?
If Nureyev had been able to tear his eyes away, he would have seen Rita standing towards the back of the crowd, jaw on the floor, eyes wide, hand having gone limp so a thin stream of neon green wine was dribbling onto the carpet from the bottle she was holding. He would have seen Jet with an eyebrow raised bemusedly, tapping his foot under the table, attention then caught by a man walking in looking more nervous than anyone out for a good time had any right to.
But all he saw was Juno. He was clearly shy at first, voice soft and small, his movements a little stiff. But as the song continued and the reactions from the crowd were clearly appreciative, he began to sway his hips slightly, taking his hands away from holding onto the mic stand in a death grip, letting them float at his sides as he sang. And he started to smile, soft and soulful like his song, full of wry bitterness and loss and longing.
“Every trick of his you're on to
But, fools will be fools
And where's he gone to?”
And then suddenly his eye was on Nureyev, picking him out in the crowd, narrowing the space between them to nothing until they could have been alone in his room back on the ship, voices hushed, lips brushing. And Juno’s smile quirked slightly, enough pin Nureyev to the bar, his breath coming out in a long, quiet exhale. He would make his dear heart sing for him, once this was done.
“The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow he will turn up
There's just no letup the live-long night and day…”
Nureyev could have fallen to his knees in that moment, with how deep and sweet his voice became, drunk without a single sip of his drink. But then Juno’s eye caught his again and slid pointedly over to a table in the shadowier corners. Their mark and the seller. A thin brown envelope being passed under the table, barely visible.
Nureyev went scarlet. Not one of his more professional moments.
He refocused, taking his crystal glass in his hand and sauntering over, like he was just looking for a better view of the stage, an easy thing to feign now Juno’s hands were resting on his chest in a gentle pantomime of heartbreak that was so very distracting. The mark was just getting up, clearly eager to make a quick exit. It was amateurish in the extreme, a millionaire really should have some more self awareness.
It was the simplest thing. Bump into him, the drink cascading over them both. Apologetic pleasantries, outraged exclamations. Pat ineffectually with a nearby napkin. Slip the envelope from the inner pocket and replace with a blank to mimic the weight. Pretend to only just notice that you have just swilled one of the richest men on Saturn and bid a hasty, flustered exit. Child’s play, as smooth and silken as when he’d first mastered the maneuver at thirteen.
Nureyev allowed himself a self satisfied smile, once he was out of view. It was good to know that some things would never go to rust.
He headed back to the stage, stopping to gently tip the wine bottle in Rita’s hand the right way then claim it for himself, taking a seat directly in front of the stage before tipping it to his lips, eyes fixed on Juno, a self satisfied smirk on his lips.
“Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman looking for
The man that got away
The man that got away.”
There were a lot of rules when it came to working jobs, false facing, slipping on alibis like a second skin.
But no one said you couldn’t have fun.
Later, much later, Juno’s voice was raw and breaking from a full night of singing and the noises Nureyev had been drawing from him for the last three hours.
Considering his work done for now and smiling smugly, Nureyev let him fall back against his bed, curling around him and pillowing his head on his broad chest. There was still glitter clinging to his skin that would likely end up on Nureyev and refuse to budge for days but he couldn’t make himself care about that right now.
“Oh my god…” Juno was still panting, chest heaving, heart hammering against Nureyev’s ear, “I mean...oh my god, Nureyev…”
Nureyev chuckled, pressing a kiss to the warm skin beneath his head, “I rather enjoyed it too, dear heart. And I did say you’d be fairly rewarded for your performance, didn’t I?”
“I thought you meant you were gonna buy me a drink or something,” Juno laughed breathlessly, hands coming up to stroke through Nureyev’s soft hair, sort out where it was matted at the back from their efforts, “Not that.”
“Well, I did say the reward would fit the quality of your performance...and that was pretty spectacular.”
He heard the blush in Juno’s voice rather than saw it, he was far too comfortable in his current position, “Ah...I mean, I was alright. Just something I used to do when I was younger.”
“Oh?” Nureyev’s interest was sparked but he hid that. Juno spoke about his past so infrequently, even with all of their lengthy conversations before they’d fallen back into bed with each other. It was clearly still a wound and Nureyev had no desire to poke it.
“Yeah,” Juno continued on, “My brother was always in the school productions, even though it was always kind of crappy and the sets were junk and most kids' parents wouldn’t even come, he still lit up when it came back around. And because it was better than sitting on the curb waiting for him for hours, I signed up too. He was the real talent, Ben could sing, dance, act...everything. I could carry enough of a tune to get shoved into some minor roles but...whenever I sang, even if it was just a few lines, he’d go crazy applauding for me and grinning a mile wide. Really, I was just doing it to see him smile. I knew it made him happy when I joined in.”
Nureyev smiled gently at that, hand reaching out to  entwine his fingers with Juno’s, “I’m sure he’d have loved to see you sing tonight.”
“Oh, Ben would have laughed his ass off seeing me up there trying to be all femme fatale,” Juno hummed, holding Nureyev’s hand just as tightly, “But...yeah. It was hard not to think of him while I was up there.”
“And...what would he have made of the man drinking wine and watching you all gooey eyed, hm?”
“That asshole?” Juno cuddled Nureyev closer with his free arm, “Nah...he’d have liked you. He’d have realised you’re good for me.”
Nureyev buried his face in the crook of Juno’s neck, feeling a burst of delight in his chest at that, at the idea that he was good for someone.
And that someone was good for him.

Dancing for Dummies (FE: Three Houses Short Fic)
Byleth-Sama: Love is War (Part 2)
-----
Part Listings Here!
All AU’s involved listed here!
-----
Tumblr media
With the rush now on to have Byleth choosing her over Sara for the Ball, Megumi must find out how to be more appealing.
Unfortunately for her, everyone she knows has no idea how any of this stuff works either.
-----
The next morning after Part 1...   
[Afterschool Hours - Trails of Cold Steel]
Once the bell rang, everyone got up from their seats and went outside.
The three houses and House Isekai began mingling among themselves, spreading the daily news and gossip as the faculty met up to have lunch.
It was only a select few that noticed Megumi and Sara’s strange behavior.
(Kazuma) “What’s up with them?”
Rean, Dimitri, Darkness, and Dedue looked over at the faculty members.
(Dedue) “What do you mean?”
(Darkness) “Are you referring to Instructor Sara and Megunee?”
(Rean) “Now that you mention it, they didn’t seem like themselves when teaching. Those two are usually pretty friendly with one another.”
(Dedue) “I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.”
(Kazuma) “Well, duh. You’re not in our class.”
(Rean) “I’ll ask later, though I’m fairly positive I’ll be brushed off by Sara...”
(Dimitri) “Then I’ll ask Megunee.”
(Darkness) “Guess that settles that. Now, what were you talking about, Rean?”
(Rean) “Why does Aqua shout at herself, something about gremlins?”
(Kazuma) “Ooooh...That...”
As that conversation continued on normally, Dimitri couldn’t help but think about what they said about Sara and Megumi. 
Dimitri was a bit concerned for Megumi. She normally didn’t have any problems with anyone here, yet he couldn’t shake off this feeling of dread.
...
Once the staff got their desired food, they began making their way to the table.
Sara reached for a bread from the basket, only to find Megumi’s hand reaching for it as well. They looked up and made eye contact, which caused both of their brows to furrow.
(Sara) “...Sakura.”
(Megumi) “Valestein.”
The two stared at each other for a solid minute, refusing to say anything more.
A tall shadow engulfed the light they were at which scared the hell out of them.
(Dimitri) “...Uh, pardon me.”
(Sara) “Oh, m-my bad!”
(Megumi) “Excuse me!”
They began to depart, but before Megumi could join the table, she heard Dimitri call out to her.
(Megumi) “N-No worries. We’re fi-...Actually are you free after lunch?”
(Dimitri) “I do believe so.”
(Megumi) “Great. We’ll talk afterwards.”
Megumi left, making Dimitri scratch his head.
(Dimitri) “This does not bode well...”
Sothis was watching the interaction go down and chuckled to herself.
(Sothis) “Well well...Looks like I should help get this going too.”
Sothis floated away towards the courtyard while everyone else at their lunch.
Later...
[Funny Footsteps - Fire Emblem: Three Houses]
(Dimitri) “...So this all started because you two just wanted to dance with Byleth? Couldn’t you both just dance with him?”
(Megumi) “Yes, well...I-It’s the principle of it all! Besides, I have to get chosen first! Imagine what I would have to tell my students if their teacher couldn’t get a dance first!”
(Dimitri) “Well to be fair, there is most likely a lot of other people who wish to dance with him. Besides, I wasn’t aware Yuki and the others cared for things like that.”
(Megumi) “It’s my pride on the line, Dimitri!”
Dimitri didn’t know what to say. He had never seen Megumi this flustered before.
Especially about Byleth.
(Dimitri) “Well, what is your strategy for winning over Sara?”
(Megumi) “Hm...I’m not sure. Actually, I don’t know how to dance properly at a ball. Something like this would never have come up in my previous life.”
(Dimitri) “Well, I am no expert by any means, but I did have to learn for attending these balls back in the Kingdom. Perhaps I can be of assistance?”
(Megumi) “...Actually, I think I know what you can help me with!”
(Dimitri) “And what would that be?”
(Megumi) “I heard from some others that you gave a dagger to a girl you liked-’
(Dimitri) HURK?!
(Megumi) “Maybe Byleth would like that-...Dimitri are you okay?”
Dimitri had unwillingly curled his hands into a fist, wanting to strangle Sylvain. His eye was twitching but he took a deep breath.
(Dimitri) “P-Perfectly fine, yes. Anyways, yes, Byleth might like that.”
(Megumi) “Do you think you could perhaps find a good one? I promise to pay you for your trou-”
(Dimitri) “Ah, pay it no mind, Megunee.-”
(Megumi) “It’s Professor Sakura-”
(Dimitri) “-It’s the least I can do for all you’ve done for me and my class. Since the day is still young I oughtta get to work finding one.”
Dimitri got up and nodded at Megumi.
(Dimitri) “I wish you luck!”
(Megumi) “Thank you.”
Dimitri left, leaving Megumi by herself in the courtyard.
(Megumi) “Now, what to do...”
Later that evening...
After a little while, Megumi walked past the dorms and towards the greenhouse. When she entered, she was going to think on what to do for the ball and how to get his attention.
As she watered the plants, she heard a familiar voice call out to her.
(Yuki’s Voice) “Megunee!”
(Megumi) “Hm? Oh, Yuki-chan!”
She ran in the room with a bright smile.
(Yuki) “I’ve been looking all over for you! Minako and Kasumi have been wanting to see you!”
(Megumi) “Huh? What for?”
(Yuki) “You’re wanting to dance with Byleth-sensei, right?”
Megumi almost dropped her water can as she yelped.
(Megumi) “W-WHAT?! Who told you that?!”
(Yuki) “Yuuri-san did! The rest of House Isekai knows! Actually, I think the other houses know too.”
(Megumi) “WHAT?!”
(Yuki) “Jeez, you’re a little slow today. Now come on, let’s get going we have to get you ready!”
Yuki took Megumi’s hand and dragged her off towards the Training Hall.
-----
Earlier...
Ainz sat down at the head of the table as the others slowly arrived.
Albedo knelt by his side, her head facing down.
(Albedo) “Lord Ainz, everyone has been gathered as ordered.”
Ainz nodded and lookde to the door.
The first to arrive was Rean, followed by Edelgard, Dimitri, and Yuuri.
The next was Kazuma, Akira, the Arisato siblings, and lastly Yu.
They all took their seats and looked to Ainz.
(Ainz) “Albedo.”
(Albedo) “Yes, Lord Ainz?”
(Ainz) “...What exactly are we here for?”
(Albedo) “...Absolve me of my negligence milord, what do you mean?”
(Ainz) “I wasn’t the one who ordered everyone here. Did anyone here do so?”
(Minato) “No. I was told it was urgent.”
(Minako) “Same here.”
(Claude) “Don’t look at me.”
(Edelgard) “I’m not sure why WE were invited, honestly.”
(Dimitri) “Well clearly we’re all confused, who was the one who-”
(Kazuma) “It was me, actually.”
Everyone turned to Kazuma.
(Kazuma) “So, a little green birdy tipped me off to something VERY intriguing, something that I thought you all might wanna hear!”
(Ainz) “And what would that be?”
(Kazuma) “Our dear Sara and Megunee, are having a war! A war for Byleth’s affection, and I’m taking the bets!”
(Everyone) “...”
(Rean) “You REALLY called us all together just to tell us that?”
(Albedo) “Insignificant little...! HOW DARE YOU MANIPULATE US TO SATISFY YOUR OWN GREED!-”
(Claude) “I’m not opposed to a bet, honestly.”
(Yuuri) “Of course you aren’t.”
(Ainz) “Besides, the winner is obvious isn’t it?”
(Dimitri) “Yes, the winner is clearly Megunee-”
(Edelgard) “Valestein-”
(Claude) “A good tie, honestly.”
“...”
(Everyone) “What?”
(Minako) “Uh, the winner of that’s going to be Megunee. Haven’t you seen the two together, they look adorable!”
(Rean) “I’m inclined to disagree. I think Sara is more his type.”
(Yu) “You’re just saying that because she’s your teacher back in your world.”
(Kazuma) “Meh, my gang thinks that Sara’s gonna win too.”
(Ainz) “Is this seriously something we’re arguing right now?”
(Edelgard) “Sara will be the victor.”
(Dimitri) “Not if I have anything to say about it! I promised Megunee that she’d be getting the dance!”
(Claude) “Uh guys? Aren’t we getting a liiitle too heated about-”
(Minato) “Then it seems like its war.”
(Minako) “WAAAAARRR!”
(Yuuri) “Oh dear.”
-----
(Minako) “Aaaaand that’s about the gist of it!”
(Megumi) “I cannot believe this...”
(Kasumi) “From what I heard from Akira-senpai, this really ballooned up, didn’t it?”
(Yuki) “We’re not going to let Sara win this, which is why I called in some backup!”
A knock came from the door and opened with a hearty laugh.
(Alois) “Professor Sakura, there you are!”
(Megumi) “Oh dear god, no-”
(Alois) “So, you need some help in this fight, eh? Well worry not, we’re here to help!”
(Kasumi) “Dimitri-senpai is currently trying to find the perfect gift, right? Well, Minako, Alois, Yuki and I will help you learn how to dance!”
(Minako) “If you wanna score a man, YOU GOTTA DO THE HUSTLE!”
Minako spun around and pointed her finger up in the air, then pointed back into the ground, and repeated the same step over and over.
Kasumi, Megumi, and Alois watched awkwardly while Yuki joined in.
(Kasumi) “...Minako-senpai? This is a Ball, not a disco.”
(Megumi) “And aren’t you too young to know what the Hustle is?”
(Yuki) “Eh? How old are you, Megunee?”
(Megumi) “A-ANYWAYS! K-Kasumi, Alois, what do you guys have?”
(Kasumi) “Oooh! Well, there is ballet dancing you could do with your partner!”
Kasumi took a step back and bent her knees while putting her hands near her stomach.
(Kasumi) “One, and two!-”
Extending one foot into the air while keeping the other foot on the ground, she started spinning.
With her flexibility, her hand managed to touch the foot in the air and turned to Megumi.
(Kasumi) “Sakura-sensei! Could you please follow suit?”
(Yuki) “I think that’d rip her dress...”
(Megumi) “I-It would-”
(Yuki) “She’s a bit too large to do those crazy bends!”
(Megumi) “HUH?!”
(Alois) “That’s ballet dancing, not ball dancing! We need something a bit more simple! In these dances in the Monastery, you and your partner hold hands together and just simply step to the sides! I’m not sure what you kids have grown up thinking what a ball is!”
(Yuki) “What kind of music will it be? Is it classy? Rock? Pop?”
(Minako) “I don’t think he knows what those are, and if I had to guess, it’s string instruments right?”
(Alois) “You’re correct! And in fact, before I got here, I asked a friend who was musically attuned!”
(Megumi) “Oh, you mean Elliot from Class VII?”
(Alois) “No, it’s someone rooting for you!”
SLAM!
(Minako) “OH MY GOD.”
(Kasumi) “He can play instruments?”
(Yuki) “Hi Slayer!”
Tumblr media
Doomguy waved at Yuki and turned to the others.
(Megumi) “WHY WOULD YOU INVITE SLAYER TO PLAY CLASSICAL MUSIC?!”
(Alois) “Oh relax, he’s only here as an example! Instructor Slayer, you can play classical music on that weird lute you have, right?”
Doomguy motioned his hand in a so-so manner.
(Alois) “Then it’s perfect! Yuki if you’d please!”
Yuki happily grabbed Megumi’s hand while Minako started going for cover.
(Kasumi) “Senpai?”
(Alois) “ALRIGHT, LET THE MUSIC BEGIN!”
Doomguy slammed a speaker behind him and put his fingers to the guitar-
Tumblr media
BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
Tumblr media
(Megumi) “W-WHY?!”
(Alois) “W-WHAT? I CANNOT HEAR YOU!”
(Yuki) “DID YOU SAY SOMETHING ALOIS?!”
(Kasumi) “WHAAAAT?”
(Minako) “SPEAK UP YOU GUYS!”
Doomguy slowly started backing away with his guitar and went back to his room, hoping to go unnoticed.
Megumi did learn something important on how to get Byleth however.
This was going to be a lot harder than she anticipated.
And that she was probably going to have tinnitus for the rest of her life.
