YELAN

Yelan smirked to herself as you stared wide eyed at the water formed dildo she procured from the base of her hips, her hand stroking long, languid strokes from the shaft to the tip, as she watched you tremble above the water’s surface. “Don’t be shy, babe. No one’s gonna know…” she chuckled, her vision vibrating with use as her cock moved with tension. “It’s made completely out of water, it’ll slip right in.”

You gulped and looked around nervously, the late hours of the night meaning that only you two were at the pool, yet something inside you felt that you might get caught. 

“Yelan…I don’t know.” you bit your lip and felt the water stir as Yelan got in. “We might get caught…”

She laughed at your meek words and gently pushed you back until your skin hit the surface of the wall. “But that’s the fun part, baby.” She suddenly hoisted you up with her strength and kept your legs wrapped firmly around her. The tip of her watery cock pressing up against your folds as you whimper and cling to her neck. “It’s okay, no one’s gonna see what I’m doing to you underwater…”

Making sure the two of you were obscured by the giant rock behind you, she groaned and sunk her shaft inside you as the water slipped right inside. The flexible liquid able to hold its shape as it maneuvered in a way that filled your cunt to the brim, leaving every crevice of you fucked and filled till your eyes rolled back and saw white. 

“Nngh! Yelan…fuck—” you grit your teeth as you realize Yelan was filling you to the brim, her cock perfectly shaped to mimic the biggest toy you had, as she slowly rocked her hips back and forth. 

“Feel familiar, my dear?” Yelan purred, pounding her length deeper into you as you felt every molded ridge and curve rub inside. “I didn’t have enough room to pack your favorite strap, but I hope this would suffice…”

She laughs into your neck and slams her hips harder against you, reveling in the way the waves shook from her movements as you cling onto her with need. Nails gripping the skin of your rear while Yelan pounded you just the way she would with a regular strap.

KOKOMI

You shuddered as you felt slippery, cold, tentacles climb up your leg in the water. Kokomi giving you a mischievous smile as the water-made tentacles slithered up to your swimming bottoms and tugged at the elastic. “Kokomi…” you warned, giving her a testing glare. “We’re at a pool.”

“No one will see,” she hummed quietly, perching herself over the edge as she commanded the tentacles to climb higher. Vision glowing by her side as she smiled and watched with anticipation for your reactions, the depth of the pool thankfully covering your body as she playfully teased your pussy lips with a tendril. 

“Ah…wait…” you gripped the edge of the pool and resisted the urge to tremble in front of your priestess, a pleasurable shiver riveting through your skin as you felt one of the tips prod at your entrance. 

“Don’t worry, my love. It’ll practically sink in.” Kokomi giggles as you shiver at the sensation of her tentacles. One of which was currently circling your clit, rubbing and stroking it as if it were just another one of Kokomi’s fingers. “Just think of it as me fingering you…”

Oh how mean Kokomi could be. Toying with your body like this while in a public setting. You were lucky not many people were out swimming, but the thought of being caught in your secluded corner with Kokomi fucking you was too nerve racking for you to enjoy. 

“Just relax, let me take care of you for once.”

At her gentle tone, your body instinctively listened and relaxed in her hold. The watery tentacles sliding directly into your pussy and wrapping around your waist in the process. “Oh, there’s almost no resistance,” Kokomi giggles, a tentacle worming its way into your deepest spots and rubbing so pleasurably inside you. “Guess we’ll be doing this more often…”

With a bashful giggle, Kokomi commands the tentacles to begin thrusting inside you feverishly, one giant tentacle holding you still as your hips rock the waves to the rhythm of her thrusts. 

MONA

“By the stars, they didn’t show me this…”

Mona had dragged you under an artificial waterfall and hidden you away to fuck you in secrecy. She had used her astrology to predict whether or not the pool would be crowded tonight, and her vision had been proven wrong given by how many people were out swimming at this hour. “Ugh, how annoying…” she pushed you up behind the dark cavern and hoped no one would swim behind to see what you were about to do. “We’ll have to go fast.”

Tilting your head back, your girlfriend kissed you before activating her vision to morph a small body of water into a flexible shape. When the water broke the surface tension, Mona crafted it into a small, handheld dildo and giggled at your surprised face. “What? You act like I’ve never done this before,” she laughed and held the makeshift cock in her hand. “I can do a lot more with my vision, you know.”

She grinned at how hot your face was before tugging off your bottoms. “Come on, don’t worry about it not fitting, I can adjust the size however you like…”

In a matter of moments, Mona was holding your swimming bottoms in one hand and the makeshift dildo in the other, moving it downwards to stir the tip against your folds, and teasing it while she prepped you for the intrusion. “I know what you like, my love. It’ll fit right in like the other toys.”

As she eased you with her words, Mona slowly sank the cock into your cunt and sighed in bliss when she felt you part so easily. The astrologist kissing you gently before moving her hand so that the cock could hit you in deeper areas. 

“My my my, my little star. You’re taking it better than when we use a regular toy…” Mona tsked and moved in to kiss your jaw. “And all the little moans you’re making, simply adorable…”

Her voice turned mockingly playful as she moved her hand to speed up the thrusts of the dildo. Shallow waves rocking you two back and forth, while carnal whimpers and moans ripped out from beneath your lips.

“How naughty of you, my little star,” Mona giggles, using her vision to morph ridges on the cock to further stimulate your walls, “We’re not done yet though, water can take on all shapes and sizes…”

NILOU

Above the water, you would appear like any other person chilling by the pool. Below the water however, people would see your girlfriend Nilou on her knees and between your legs with your swimsuit tugged downwards. An air bubble she had created being her only source of air, as she ate you out with lust and passion beneath the waves.

“Mmpf…Nilou…” you tried your best to act casual in front of anyone that passed you by, but Nilou was making it so hard as she pierced her tongue into your folds and lapped at your secreting juices like she was dehydrated. “Not too much, hah…” 

You gently grabbed at her hair from below and gave her a tiny tug. Your girlfriend smiled to herself at your little reaction and just dove her tongue even deeper than before. Who knew Nilou could be such a tease when she wanted to?

Gripping your thighs with her fingertips, Nilou spread you a bit more for her as she eagerly lapped more of your cunt, pushing her face and the air bubble closer to your clit so that her nose could bump against it sensually. Your thighs shook at the sudden touch and you almost lost it above the surface if not for Nilou stabilizing you. “Ah…fuck…”

Nilou wasn’t messing around.

Trying to get yourself off faster, you began grinding your hips against Nilou’s face and took notice at how she gripped your thighs tighter, her gentle tongue now cruising faster between your walls while you forced yourself to maintain sanity. ‘They’re writhing, they’re actually writhing…!’ Nilou thought to herself as she smiled into your cunt. ‘I’m doing such a good job!’

Thrusting her tongue wildly, Nilou moaned into your skin and nearly lost focus of her air bubble. Quickly regaining composure and activating her vision once more to give her another dose of air to keep going.

‘They’re twitching…they’re so close…’

Nilou moaned and felt a warmth engulf her face when you came all over her lips. The dancer swimming back to the surface for a breath of fresh air, before kissing you with exasperated breaths.

“Oh, my love, that was amazing…” she murmured, letting you taste your sweet release on her tongue. “We should do this again, but in a more private setting next time…” 

CANDACE

In the blanket of the night, you and Candace took a dip in the hot tub at the resort you were staying at and were pleasantly surprised to find that it had been empty. Deciding not to waste another moment of this pleasant alone time with your girlfriend, you both threw off your towels and took a dip, sighing blissfully at the heat that absorbed your bodies. 

It’s been a while since Candace had been so relaxed, and the moment her muscles unlocked, she smiled and waved a finger for you to come closer. “Come, dear. Sit on my lap. We haven’t done that in a while.”

You smiled and crawled over to perch yourself just how Candace liked. A playful, slightly sultry smile growing on her lips as she gently raises your hips up over the water. “Up up up, don’t worry, you’ve been in this position before….”

Your cheeks grew warm at her words and you laughed nervously when she lifted you up. “Erm, we don’t have a strap though, babe.” You chuckled, your ass now raised above the water as Candace’s vision glowed. “I know, but it’s good to be creative once in a while.” She smirked and in an instant, a water formed strap had morphed against her pelvis. The tip prodding at your entrance like it was too eager to wait, while Candace looked up at you expectantly with smugness. 

Sure enough, you were amazed. And aroused.

“I see,” you chuckle, slowly rubbing the tip between your walls to begin easing down the liquid shaft. “You’re very creative, my dear guardian.” 

“A true leader needs to be,” Candace hums, helping you slide down her length before you were firmly seated back on her lap. “Now go on, ride me. But don’t make it too obvious, otherwise we’ll get caught.”

She pats your rear lovingly and sits back to look at you while you begin rocking your hips back and forth, sighing blissfully when the watery strap slid flexibly through your walls and brushed against all your favorite areas. “Oh fuck…right there, Candace…”

You leaned over to kiss your beloved while bouncing on her for more. Making out with her in the dimness of the night, while the hot tub’s water successfully concealed just how rough Candace was fucking you.

FURINA

Furina was a tease. An incredibly childish, almost gremlin-like tease who wanted nothing more than to watch you squirm. She sat idly on a lawn chair by the poolside with an innocent smirk plastered on her lips, kicking her legs back as she sipped a virgin pina colada whilst shamelessly controlling the hydro vibrator she stuffed up your swimsuit. Heterochromia eyes staring tauntingly at the way you gripped the water’s edge. 

“What’s the matter?” Furina snickers, stirring the straw of her drink, “Is the water too cold for you, my love? Shall I bring you warmth so you shan’t shiver?” 

When only a strangled moan crawled out your throat, Furina grinned and waved her hand to force the vibrator to squirm faster. The ridges of the morphed hydro toy causing you to buckle over and bury your moan into your lips. ‘Furina…!’ you wanted to scream, the wriggling toy of firm water just too good for you to tolerate. ‘Slow it down…!’

Alas, Furina was not a mind reader and she took your body’s reactions as a sign to go faster, enjoying her little exhibition game with you. “Careful now, dove. You’re making quite the waves with your little trembling…”

She laughed haughtily at your irritated glare and crossed her legs over to make it look like she was your ruler. Even though she was. With one final sip of her drink, she made a mocking “aaah” sound of refreshment before snapping her fingers. “I’m getting bored now, dove. Perhaps it’s time to skip to the main event.”

Her eyes glimmered with mischievous amusement and you felt your stomach flip with anticipation. Here it comes…! Your girlfriend then makes the vibrator squirm deeper inside you and writhe so pleasantly against your spongy walls. The makeshift toy working wonders on that little bundle of nerves as it wormed its way in in a way that had you seeing stars. 

“Oh, Furina…” you whimpered out your liege’s name in passion, the watery vibrator buzzing harder into your sweetest places. “I’m almost…”

Fuck. There was that shit-eating grin again as Furina smiled sadistically and ceased the vibrator’s movements, letting it turn back into water and slide out of your puffy cunt. 

“F-Furina–!”

“Hush now, pet.” Furina snickered, crawling over to the water’s edge and mockingly patting your head. “I want to spend several more hours at the pool so you need to entertain me for a lot longer…”

I hope this is still fine! If you want me to write reader taking away their cuddling priviledges after all just request it again and I'll try to write it someday!

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Furina

“I’m nowhere clingy!”

You’d have to be either deaf, stupid or oblivious to an unhealthy degree to miss your cuddling privileges being revoked. Furina had not exactly been subtle when openly declaring it after all. And while she may not have mentioned cuddling specifically, not trusting herself to not blush like a little kid at just the mention of it, you felt confident in saying that she had delivered her message well enough for even the most tone-deaf idiot to understand.

And yet, the exact same accusation that you had half-jokingly thrown her way and that she had taken such great offense to, turned the next few days into some of the best entertainment you had experienced in recent memory. Seeing an former Archon act dignified while at the same time having to fight the obvious urge to hug you the moment you were behind closed doors, only to then turn around and act like her embargo on hugging and cuddling was punishing you, was funnier than any comedy a human could possibly ever pen.

“So… about our argument a few days ago.” Furina spoke up the moment you returned to the table with your cooking, forcing you to fight off the grin that was threatening to pop-up on your face.

“So, about our argument a few days ago”, you repeated her words, intentionally ending on a high note to leave her waiting for your next words, only to continue to set up the table in silence.

“Are you- I-” she eventually stuttered out, only to stop herself before she could embarrass herself further. Her cheeks glowing slightly red as she tried to regain her composure.

“Who knows, if you were to apologize for your groundless accusations a few days back right now, I might just forgive you”, Furina graciously offered with closed eyes, avoiding to look at you in the process.

All the better for you, or she might have noticed the wide grin that had finally broken out on your face. For a moment you considered her ‘offer’. Sure, you missed cuddling on the couch as well and weren’t exactly the biggest fan of keeping up these kind of games…. and yet seeing her continue to needlessly die on this hill that so obviously harmed her more than you was very amusing.

“Wow, really? That seems very nice of you”, you mused with a smile while filling her plate with a portion before doing the same for yours and sitting down opposite of her. “Bon Appetit!”

“Oh come on. Stop being so stubborn! I’ve even given you such a good opportunity to apologize!” Furina's dignified act crumbled right before your eyes as she started to sound more and more desperate. You could practically hear her begging you to be the bigger person, and yet being small felt surprisingly great.

And yet you eventually- FINALLY gave in, much to the relief of the person sitting in front of you. “I am so sorry for calling you clingy Furina. I now see that I was clearly in the wrong and the one actually fitting the description of ‘clingy’ was in fact me”, your apology came out with a… healthy amount of sarcasm, and yet it was more than enough for her.

“...I’ll forgive you. Since you were nice enough to cook for me today”, she declared.

“I know I might be overplaying my hand here, but would you be so kind as to indulge me in a bit of cuddling later on? I’ve simply had to go on without it for far too long.”

“YES- Sure”, Furina immediately jumped at your offer before quickly switching back to her usual act, a wide smile plastered on her face nonetheless as she looked down at the food in front of her.

“It looks delicious, bon appetit!”

Nilou 

While the two of you seemed to have quickly moved past your argument, spending time together as if nothing had happened and avoiding to even mention the subject again, it quickly dawned on you that while you had hoped this to be one of those arguments noone had to explicitly apologize for and that was simply forgotten the next day, the other party involved seemingly was of a different opinion.

Not that Nilou said anything, she greeted you with the same sweet smile before chatting and going on small walks through the bazaar with you in the same manner as on any day of the week. And yet, whenever you as much as tried to initiate any kind of physical contact, no matter if hand-holding or hugging and cuddling, she’d dodge as easily as she breathed. At first it seemed like nothing but a coincidence, but after the dozenth time even you realized something was wrong.

What followed was a days-long standoff. Both of you trying to make the other one crack before yourself, while retaining your sweet and unbothered facade, and while there were moments where you could have sworn to nearly see Nilou instinctively grab your hand, she always managed to stop herself before anything happened.

And while you certainly could have continued with the act for weeks to come, you eventually decided to be the bigger person. For the sake of putting this childish game of chicken behind, of course. And for no other reasons.

“Sure Nilou. You win”, you disrupted the silence that existed between the two of you while Nilou was in the process of adjusting her stage, her movement grinding to a halt as she began staring at you in confusion.

“I wasn’t aware we were playing something. Did you have fun?”

‘Not aware’ your a- 

“Mhm, I am sorry about the argument”, you cut off your thoughts, immediately earning yourself a tilt of her head. After all this time you knew her clueless act to be nothing but an act and yet, when she looked at you like this you nearly found yourself doubting it all over again.

“Oh that? That was a whole week ago, did it still bother you all this time?”, she asked before finally finishing putting down the pot of flowers, quickly making her way down from the stage to join you and shooting you a sweet smile. “Don’t worry, I forgive you. I also didn’t mean everything I’ve said.”

If Nilou hadn’t suddenly grabbed your hand and started pulling you along her daily routine, you might have almost rolled your eyes, instead you found yourself thanking Lesser Lord Kusanali that you were indeed correct about your theory.

Bye Bye childish standoff, welcome back cuddling privileges.

[trendywaifus]

there’s a nice little ref in yukong’s part (ifykyk). my format isn’t changing, just diff than usual cus it’s a short series and i wanna practice nsfw and writing.

↳ oou, you’re just my type!

hoyoverse women edition part 1 ↳ when she whimpers

↳ featuring—ganyu, stelle, ei, tingyun + honorable mentions

| nsfw! | dom! gn!(unless specified) reader | warnings: ganyu (reader has a cock/strap, overstimulation), stelle (semi-public sex, fingering, a small bit of pet–play if you squint), ei (face siting, implied misuse of cryo vision(reader), overstimulation), tingyun (reader has a cock/strap, blowjob, gagging)

GANYU gasps when your length sinks itself into her soaking cunt with ease. “ don’t let your knees give out, pretty girl. you’re giving me such a perfect angle right now. “ you cooed, drinking in the sight of her face smushed against the pillow and her plump ass positioned beautifully in the air. “ i-i’ll try my best.” she responded obediently, moaning as you stretched her out fully.

ganyu’s angelic moans blurred in your ears as you shift your attention to the satisfying view of your cock sliding in and out of her hole. with each and every thrust it felt like she was sucking you in deeper and deeper. not to mention, your tip and further down the base was beginning to be covered in her cream and essence. “ you’re creaming so much, ganyu.” you noted, nearly moaning at the sight of it.

the adeptus whimpers at the warm sensation of your hand wrapped around one of her sensitive horns. her mind became completely clouded with euphoria and lust when you begin to squeeze and tug while pounding your cock into her cunt feverishly. “ yes, pl-please just like that! f-fuck m-me dumb! “ she moans out in a muffled voice, face now squished into the pillow. her knees trembled, legs turning jelly by your relentless thrusts.

“ you sure are using your voice tonight, baby.“ you delved down to kiss ganyu’s toned back, enjoying the way her muscles coil under your lips. your free hand went around to squeeze her mound of flesh and reached further down her stomach to mess with her pulsating clit. with one final thrust, ganyu’s babbling and screaming as your cock hits all the right places and she squirts everywhere on you and the sheets. you pulled out, happily watching her slick and cum deliciously ooze out of her cunt. finally, her knees gave out and her body hit the mattress.

you wondered if she’ll be able to walk in the morning.

“ who’s my good girl? “

your hand journeys up her skirt and palmed her clothed clit, STELLE ‘s breath hitched. “ m-me. “ she breathes, her lustful golden eyes pools into yours while she starts to grind on your palm. your lips met with hers in a sloppy kiss; teeth promptly clashing together as she hurriedly tilts her head to deepen the kiss. you paid no mind to the sound of people walking and chatting in the distance as you moved her panties to the side and played with her clit with your index finger.

“ in this alleyway right, baby? “ you asked breathlessly, breaking away from the kiss. she nods her head, steadying herself against the wall; her gloved hands gripping your shoulders for support. you teased her entrance, arousal coating your digits. you smirked roguishly at her and brought two of them to your lips and sucked on it. stelle observes you intently like a starved man while your tongue lazily licked at the remains of her juices; not bothering to catch the saliva trickling down your knuckles.

you hummed with satisfaction, “ you taste so good that i already finished my treat. “ stelle whines, biting her bottom lip and watched as you removed your drool-covered fingers from your mouth and brought it back to her soaking entrance. “ brace yourself, sweetheart. “ you warned before slipping your fingers inside of her with little trouble. she throws her head back in pleasure, a soft moan escaping her lips. her walls clenched around your fingers as it sinks deeper into her.

“ you’re taking it so well, baby. “ you purred. she grunts in response, desperately attempting to grind her hips downwards for more friction. chuckling at her eagerness, your fingers begin to thrust inside of her, nails brushing deliciously against her walls. “ s’good! it feels s’good! “ stelle slurs, drool tickling down her chin. you peppered kisses on her face, relishing at how cute she looks. with your other hand, you grabbed ahold of her jaw; forcing her to hold eye contact with you.

“ now, who’s a good girl? “ you crooned, squishing her red cheeks. her half—lidded eyes glistens with tears at the incoming feeling of her climax reaching its peak. “ m-me. . “ she whimpers, slick running down her thighs. “ i-i wahnna cum. . “ you chuckled darkly, kissing her puckered lips. “ not yet. i want you to say it as loud as you can for the people in the back. who’s my good girl? “

the plane of euthymia was anything but it’s usual silence and tranquility. instead, it was filled with EI’s cries and broken moans much to your delight. when you said you had other ways to fill the silence; you fucking her with just your tongue was the last idea she had in mind. now, she’s on her third orgasm, seated perfectly on your face with your tongue stuffed in her cunt.

“ i can just fuck you stupid for an eternity like this, ei. would you like that? “ you asked teasingly, pressing your cold tongue flat against her abused nub. she responds back with a loud gasp and arched her back in pleasure; digging her nails into your knees. grinning devilishly, paying no mind to the stinging pain, you continued, “ of course you’d like that my precious ei. “ tears rolls down her cheeks as she feels the familiar tension knotting in her stomach.

“ dearest, i-i feel it c-coming again. “ ei whimpers, staring down at you with her glowing, pleading eyes. she looks so ethereal right now. your tone softens, “ then let me take care of you. “ with that, you slid your cold wet muscle back into her heated core, she nearly screams.

“ i think someone’s in the front looking for you. “

her ears twitches in annoyance at the local merchant nervously calling out her name from the front of her shop. TINGYUN’s swollen lips pulls away from your cock, snarling. “ oh aeons, can i get a break without being requested?— sorry sir, i’m currently on break, please come back another time! thank you! “ she yells out, uncharacteristically making no attempt to hide the irritation in her voice. hearing that his visit was unwanted, the merchant apologizes quickly before scrambling off. you cast your foxian lover a pointed look.

“ i know, i know— i’m aware that wasn’t very professional of me at all but i have my hands full here. .“ she sighs, before wrapping her lips right back around your length and drags her tongue against a prominent vein. you rest your hand on the back of her neck, rubbing shapes against her skin, chuckling. “ if you’re so eager to suck my dick, let’s get down to business, pretty girl. “ you pushed her head down until the tip was hitting the back of her throat.

a broken mewl emits from tingyun’s throat; she adjusts herself properly between your legs and descends her head further down until her mouth hits your groin.“fuck, you’re taking it like a champ, baby.”you scratched behind her ears affectionately, she whimpers at your praise and touch; her tail wagging from side to side. her cheeks hollows as she moves up and back down on your cock.

her narrowed jade eyes was full of tears as she stares up at you almost innocently—it was driving you crazy. “ keep looking at me like that tingyun and i might prolong your break even more. “ which was exactly what she wanted, the pleasurable burning sensation in her core was getting unbearable. she was already making a mess in her panties. the brunette takes it upon herself to reach down and slip her hand under her dress to satisfy her aching cunt.

tingyun was a complete moaning mess as she starts to pleasure herself unbeknownst to you while you fucked her throat. fat tears runs down her cheeks as she gags on your cock. her climax draws nearer in every waking moment as a small puddle of slick forms under her. noticing tingyun’s moans suspiciously growing louder, you paused—gingerly pulling her head away from your length; a thin line of saliva connects to your tip from her lips.

you tilt your body to the side to follow the direction of her arm with your eyes; your gaze darkens at the discovery of the placement of her hand and the puddle. the look of confusion on tingyun’s features disappears, a sheepish smile stretches across her lips.

“ tingyun, on my lap, now. “

HONORABLE MENTIONS: seele (reader is a fem!, hate-fucking) nilou (semi-public sex, oral sex), yukong (reader is a fem! and being a menace)

SEELE curses under her breath as your hips met with hers, clits rubbing against each other. you moaned in her ear and left sloppy kisses along her jaw. “ you so feel good, seele. “ she gnaws at her bottom lip, holding back a loud groan from the pleasure running up her spine. she hates how submissive she feels under you and as much as she hates you; she can’t deny that her body feels so right against yours. “ i’m going to try a different angle. “

before she can react, you propped her leg against her chest, giving you full exposure and a perfect angle of her cunt. “ wh-what are you—ngnh! “ you grind your clit against hers roughly, smiling in awe of how beautifully her slick is mixed in with yours. she lets out a loud whimper, throwing her hand over her eyes from both pleasure and embarrassment. wet, lewd sounds fills the room as you mercilessly fucked her, not caring about her proclaimed hatred for you. you moved her hand away from her glossy amethyst eyes, warmth fills your voice as you peered down at her with a condescending smile. “ don’t cover your eyes, you look so pretty this way. “

if she really did hate you, you would of been the one under her.

“ let me give you a reward for your beautiful performance back there, NILOU. “ were the exact words you whispered into her ear before you whisked her away to back stage after her grand performance for the celebration of the new grand sage, al haitham. before she knew it, she’s up against the wall and you’re on your knees, head shamelessly underneath her skirt. her fingers cards through your locks, softly moaning as your tongue flicks her sensitive nub.

“ you sound so beautiful, nilou. i wanna hear more.” you slid your tongue inside of her and she gasps angelically, knees buckling. since the red—head was already exhausted from dancing all night, you kept your hands steady on her hips for support. your tongue explores her warm insides, particularly rubbing against a spongy spot she’s helplessly weak to. “ d-darling. .! “ she whimpers, tugging at your hair, eyes screwed shut from immense pleasure. your hands travels up her bare midriff, massaging the tense muscle.

“ cum on my tongue if you want to, i’m enjoying this personal, private performance.“

“ for a foxian who claims to be past her prime, you sure have a lot of energy for someone who’s in heat.” you mused, pressing the vibrator against her swollen bundle of nerves. YUKONG was completely at your mercy—her wrist tied together to avoid her reaching and clawing for you, pretty peach lips parted open, spilling nothing but the most beautiful whimpers known to man. “ can you stop with your talking and get on with it already?! “ she demands, glaring fiercely at you with tears in her eyes.

you whistled in amusement, “ don’t be so feisty baby, that’s how i felt when you teased me while i was tied up in your chair. but since i’m so forgiving, all you have to do is say please and i’ll set this to the highest volume and stuff it up your cunt until you make a absolute mess of the sheets. “ you negotiated, waving the fully buzzing vibrator in her face. she lets out a deep sigh of frustration before succumbing to your “ deal.” “ please, (name). “

“ i thought so. “ as promised you pushed the vibrator into her sopping cunt and she’s practically screaming in utter ecstasy upon penetration. yukong’s eyes rolls to the back of her head, her tail jolts up while she cums and squirts everywhere. you grinned at her fucked out face.

“ woah, that was quick! but don’t worry, i’m gonna let this run until you’re completely milked dry and satisfied. “

Traveler: Okay?

Alhaitham:

Alhaitham:

Alhaitham: Actually it's gonna bug me if I don't, so-

Tighnari, to the others: And remember, if I get harsh with you it is only because you're doing it all wrong.

Alhaitham: Italics.

Traveler: Yeah, Italians.

Wrong world, Traveler

Kaveh: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.

Alhaitham: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.

Kaveh: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns???

Alhaitham, deadpan: Is it working?

The poor guy just wants to sleep without hearing someone building shit all night

Alhaitham: Don't worry, I have a permit.

Cyno: ... This just says "I can do what I want".

Tighnari: Hi, I'm Cyno's emergency contact.

Counter Person: You're here to pick him up?

Tighnari: I'm here to remove myself as his emergency contact.

Traveler: Do you even, cuddle, bro? Do you even lift, bro... each other up with kindness? Do you tell your loved ones that you care about them regardless of who is listening? DO YOU EVER RESOLVE CONFLICTS, EMOTIONAL ISSUES THROUGH COMPROMISE AND COMPASSION RATHER THAN ANGER AND DENIAL?!

Traveler after witnessing the 100th homosexual situationship of Tevyat

Tighnari: Are you drinking enough water?

Kaveh: Sometimes my tears get in my mouth.

Alhaitham: There are three ways to handle a difficult situation. The right way, the wrong way, and the Kaveh way.

Traveler: Isn't that the wrong way?

Alhaitham: Yes, but it's faster.

Cyno: I'm gonna get my pilot's license. I've already got a driver's license and a cosmetology license, that's two of the big five licenses.

Tighnari: The big five licenses?

Cyno: Driver's license, cosmetology license, pilot's license, fishing license, and... license to kill! I can't wait to get that one.

He probably already has that last one but let's pretend

Kaveh: There's no meeting today because Alhaitham is at the police station.

Cyno: He's in jail?!

Tighnari: We have to get him out!

Dehya: Jailbreak! I'm in!

Nilou: I'll dress up and distract the guard!

Traveler: Ooh, I'll bake some food to help distract ALL the guards!

Cyno: I guess I could bring my frying pan in case we need a shield to keep us from being shot-

Kaveh: No! Alhaitham wasn't arrested! He's undercover, taking the system down from the inside. He doesn't need our help!

Someone messed with his vacation schedule, maybe

Traveler: A banker? Me?

Cyno: Yes, Traveler.

Traveler: But I don't know anything about running a bank!

Cyno: Good. No preconceived ideas.

Traveler: I've robbed banks!

Cyno: Capital! Just reverse your thinking. The money should be on the inside.

Traveler: We have heart?

Tighnari: We can't lose. Because we have this. *points to his chest*

Tighnari: Heart? No, me. I'm pointing at myself. I'm going to win this for us.

Dehya, to the Traveler: Please, picking locks is my specialty.

Dehya: *throws a brick through the window*

Dehya: Okay, let's go.

Alhaitham: *fast-forwards all the way through the movie*

Traveler: You can't just skip to the happy ending!

Alhaitham: I don't have time for their problems.

Kaveh: The results are in, I'm afraid you have updog...

Tighnari: What's updog?

Kaveh: Alhaitham! Get in here, I told you I could do it!

Traveler: I would let you ruin my life.

Kaveh: Sorry, I'm busy ruining my own. You'll have to wait.

Traveler: Just so everyone knows, don't ever try to climb a tree at night carrying a strobe light, owls DON'T like it.

Tighnari: ...what happened?

Traveler: I made a VERY bad mistake.

Traveler: The only thing I'm guilty of is being adorable......and also assault with a deadly weapon.

Alternatively it could be feral Nilou or regular Tighnari, but I think it fits the Traveler better

Tighnari: I hope you have an explanation for this.

Kaveh: We have three, actually!

Alhaitham: Pick your favorite.

Tighnari: You gotta slow down and smell the flowers... appreciate life's miracles.

Tighnari: Like me. I'm life's greatest miracle.

Kaveh: I feel like the world would be better if I'd never been born.

Alhaitham: Aw... that's not true.

Alhaitham: It'd be exactly the same.

Alhaitham: You're not important.

I mean, he's not wrong. None of us are important in the grand scheme of things

Traveler: What are amphetamines?

Tighnari: Drugs that can go on land and water.

Traveler: Ohhhh.

Alhaitham: To be honest, I'm kinda pissed that. I'm not asleep in bed next to the love of my life in a cottage with no obligations other than watering my vegetable garden.

Kaveh: *mixing different alcoholic beverages together*

Tighnari: What are you making?

Kaveh: A mistake.

Nilou: Cool, any other secrets?

Dehya: I still sleep with the blanket I had as a baby.

Nilou: Awww-

Dehya, stern: I use it as a gag when taking people's pets hostage.

Nilou:

Nilou: There's no punch line 'cause it's not a joke isn't it?

*On a hike*

Kaveh: It's beautiful out here.

Tighnari: And quiet.

Kaveh: Too quiet.

Tighnari: Did we lose someone?

*Cut to the Traveler with a bear in a headlock*

Traveler (as Lumine): You don't think I can fight because of my gender!

Kaveh: I don't think you can fight because you're in a wedding dress. For what it's worth, I don't think Cyno can fight in that dress either.

Cyno: Perhaps not. But I would make a radiant bride.

Alternatively:

Traveler (as Lumine): You don't think I can fight because of my gender!

Kaveh: I don't think you can fight because you're in a wedding dress. For what it's worth, I don't think Alhaitham can fight in that dress either.

Alhaitham: Perhaps not. But I would make a radiant bride.

All lines are Alhaitham lines if you read them in the most deadpan matter of a fact voice possible

@Silverbard22 Special Birthday Occasion !

A/N : Happy birthday my friend ! Congratulations on being today years old, as my (late late late late LATE! really sorry about that) gift for you I'll be writing this headcanon with every character from Mondstadt to Sumeru celebrating your birthday ! And fun fact, you were born on the same day as my old cat ! (his name was 'little steps' and he passed away four years ago because he was old but now I have two new troublemakers to destroy my sleep)

Warning(s) : some bombs from klee, a lot of cake but idk if that's even some kind of warning, mostly fluff, it's kind of Sagau if you squint a little.

MONDSTADT

The moment Jean was informed she got a multitude of knights just getting the entire city ready for a huge celebration, at this point, it's a national holiday. She patrols around to check if everything is in it's rightful place, if anyone dares to sabotage or disrupt such an occasion they will get beheaded. Amber and Eula follow after their senior, wishing you the best when they see you, since the beautiful Lawrence maiden understands how important this day is for you she'll perform a wonderful dance for you.

The church also prepared a wonderful original song for you, and it was all thanks to Barbara and Venti (who was also the one that announced your date of birth) even if it doesn't match their usual tunes they will gladly change their genre just for you to enjoy their singing. It's kind of hard to imagine priests singing black metal but they'll do their best in doing it for you.

Diluc pretended not to care but the Dawn Winery had also been cleaned and decorated to the brim. Everything on the menu is just foods you enjoy, all that you dislike is BANNED from this place, they take your approval seriously and I mean it. When you come in, he has everything ready and perhaps even a huge gift. Though much to his dismay, Kaeya will tease him for it (not like he didn't plan grandiose things just to see your smile). Speaking of teasing, he starts to poke a multitude of pickup lines at you.

There is music, there is presents and decoration..what else are we missing? Oh wait who's the clown for this party-

I'm kidding I'm kidding Lisa is the magician, I know that her stans are out there to get me rn. Besides, the lady has a friendly, albeit a little explosive, assistant named Klee...And Albedo because we need a sane being around these two chaos inducing people. And don't think I forgot about the gifts- those are everywhere, they offer you presents all the time but they've out done themselves just for your special day.

All thanks to Sucrose who was more than overjoyed to be the one to get the honor of creating your main bestowal. Let's not forget Benny's Adventure team who crashed in halfway to celebrate alongside you. Bennett, Razor and Fischl ran like tornadoes to offer their own blessings, Rosaria pretended that she wasn't looking forward to give her own birthday wishes. But we can all see how happy your smile makes her the moment you thank her for coming.

LIYUE

Oh you are so spoiled for this one. Ningguang quite literally built a new jade chamber just for your birthday celebration and Ganyu worked faster than the speed of light just to get to spend some quality time with you, Keqing is no different with so much dedication nothing is stopping her now (her pen broke as she practically printed down files of tasks). No one has seen them more desperate than scaramouche wanting to become a god BUT that's just because she wants to spend as much time with you during these special hours, it's not everyday that your favorite person turns [age] years old !

Beidou doesn't seem like the type to throw a fuss during these occasions. And she isn't, you're absolutely correct, however she will bring you to any place around the ocean to go sight seeing and have her crew throw a party all evening. In addition to this wonderful proposal we got Hu Tao willing to unbury sixty dead people COUGH COUGH I MEANT INVITE I SWEAR GUYS DON'T ARREST ME-

Zhongli was also at the funeral parlor when his boss made preparations for your visit. He wanted to offer you a gift but with what money? so Childe had to take care of the presents instead. (Though he will go through the effort of offering you a dried glaze lily, accompanied with the marvelous yet oh so tragic meaning behind it, have fun falling asleep) Poof goes the northland bank money to the mountains of donations, his wallet is crying so many tears to the point where you'll need to name an entirely new river.

I swear if the river's name goes something like : 'spring valley view nice face' I say fuck that and call it 'broke stream' then we can get along. I just hope Xiao actually participates in your ceremony physically rather than alternatively placing a gift at your window and disappearing right after. It becomes a game for a while, just spend the whole day trying to find him to say thank you. He finds your tenacity so impressive but so confusing, why are you ripping both time and space HE'S HERE GOOD HEAVENS-

This goes for Shenhe too, be nice to her okay? it may not seem like it, but the young woman is trying very hard to please you, although it is evident that you truly enjoy her presence. Chongyun tagged along with his aunty, whilst Cloud Retainer would've been there, her bad habit of spilling the embarrassing memories of her beloved students made the graceful lady refuse the bird's company.

Have you ever seen Xiangling cook the worth of three buffets ? Well, now you have, she felt so ashamed for forgetting what you liked ! So she panicked and made every food known to their world, even those that didn't necessarily originate from Liyue.. I salute you, that much nutrition will probably be the end of it all. Xingqiu is no more after helping his good companion, winded and absolutely exhausted, I mean who cooks 149 recipes in FIVE HOURS?!

Honestly, I really jealous about the fact that YaoYao made you a custom plushy that resembled a mini you, she even added a small yellow bunny attached on the side as well as your birthday day sewed on it. Qiqi was the one with the responsibility to deliver it for her friend, of course Baizhu needed to remind her of doing so too. Speaking of that shady doctor, he hangs around you to make sure you stay healthy. Tho his coughing isn't really helping the process, he's trying to be of use. Let's not forget that Yelan most likely stole another fatui jacket just because she kinda...Forgot? I mean, she got the gift and she stylized it just to match your style...If only she knew it was Childe's present on its way to you.

INAZUMA

Boob sword, boob sword, boob sword- If that's what you want she'll whip out that weapon faster than lightning. get it? I'm such a loser. Ei turned your birthday into the new year festival, fireworks bigger than ever were organized thanks to Yoimiya. Look closely and you'll notice that the sparkling firecrackers spell out your name and create visuals of your favorite animal/food!

Itto is gonna bring you around town with his gang, if you want he can even carry you on his shoulders during the entire time he's showing you off with Shinobu by his side, his (unpaid) nanny who is continuously begging him to be careful. She smiles under her mask when she sees you laugh at their antics, but please don't encourage them too much, keeping them out of trouble is already hard enough.

Subsequently, you met up with Gorou and Kokomi who offered their heartfelt wishes, including an all out party with the army. Everyone was dancing, drinking and losing all of their remaining braincells..Thank goodness our gorgeous mermaid stopped you from consuming anything too strong..would've been as bad as taco bell- RING RING ! I have a delivery for the Birthday Star! Soft paws and double tails, it's none other than the speedy Nekomata, Kirara! Right on time as always for bringing a packet to the rightful owner.

The nice surprise ended up being a very cute gift box of many different delicacies along with...a birthday card from Yae Miko? Well, ain't that a new one. Seems like she gives you her sweet wishes and an opportunity to write a book with her. Gracious.

Smoke weed with the samurai Jk- Kazuha sends you a gush of wind with a bunch of leaves that end up spelling 'happy birthday' when they fall to the floor.

can he do that? It'd be fun if he could do that. He can do that.

Then you have the...Rich ones, I'll say it right off the bat, Ayaka and Ayato have prepared exactly everything from schedule to how many confetti will be thrown in your direction every minute of the day. Thomas is right behind them and he's cleaning up after said confetti, Poor guy. Someone help him...Yeah, definitely...Someone should.

... :)

Oh my archons is that? No way, La Signora's ashes flying all the way from Snezhnaya Kujou Sara what do we have here? A tiny figure of the raiden shogun, as a birthday gift? How adorable. Surely it'll be more eternal than a certain crimson witch HAHAHA- please don't kill me. This came from Sara's precious collectible collection so don't drop it. Ever.

SUMERU

Oh Nahida, she did say that your celebration shall be at least as grand as the Subzeruz Festival. So, don't be shy, let her pull you through and help you enjoy the sights! You wouldn't want to miss Nilou's pretty performance would you? Tighnari, Collei and most of the other forest rangers came along too! Now there's a table's worth of present for you, with very pretty mushrooms, some crafted trinkets, a flower bouquet that sprayed water in your face- CYNO! "What did one plate say to the other plate on their birthday?" "Cyno please-" "Lunch is on me."

"..."

"..."

"Good job, buddy. Good job."

If anyone makes me right down a joke like that again, I will kill myself. Luckily for you, Sethos swoops in to save you, maybe? All I know if that he's up for a new hairdo desert dweller style! But give him a second to catch his breath. He did drag hat guy all this way for a reason, surely it isn't because mister Wanderer thinks himself above wishing you a small happy birthday? No, he ain't that's why he's here, darling. Albeit a little against his will. His little auntie would've pushed him towards you anyways, he's a little shy, give him some time. *Cue the boss music.*

When Kaveh and Al Haitham finally arrive, they were willing to put their arguments to a pause and give you a well deserved happy birthday wish, including a long rant about how Al Haitham doesn't know shit about aesthetics and how Kaveh keeps losing his mother fucking keys- EHO WAIT A MINUTE! This isn't about you, *spray bottle* this is about [Name] so you better treat the birthday majesty, treat them well!

Oh! Dehya just arrived! Your very own bodyguard for the trip! She grants you protection as you make your way to Aaru village where Candace awaits. Birthday cake on a plate, and candles ready to place. You spend most of your time having fun with the people. And when the time for you to leave comes, Dehya thanks you as she brings you right back to Sumeru city. Where you encounter Dori at the entrance and she- Uh? Free gift? No there must be a catch, Dori doesn't give gifts! Ah right she wants to grant you a wish, which is technically a gift for as long as it isn't a lifetime of Mora...Cause that wouldn't work, no, no. Dori isn't a doner. "Happy birthday, [Name]-" "Could I have the Palace of Alcazarzaray?"

"...The what now?"

Well, guess that's everybody- Wait a damn minute where is Layla? Surely she isn't sleeping through your celebrations, the music is far too loud! Oh, never mind, there she is. Somehow awake and...She's with a gift, you now have your very own pocket astrolabe, I have no fucking clue how this thing works but you'll figure it out. I'm sure. And if not, well Miss faruzan is here to help, she'll also offer her own small toy for you. It's an assembly of a number of miniature puzzle mechanisms — you can find a button and lever here, as well as a roller to the side. I still have no clue on what and how, but it's the intention that counts.

Not me using her voice line to explain shit.

FLOWER CONFETTI ATTAAAACK-

FONTAINE

I do believe it was supposed to rain today, but monsieur Neuvillette did say that he would do something about it. Strange. Who could've thought he actually would- Wait no why is it starting, why do I feel sad, WHO DID THIS?!

It's okay now, Furina arrived just in time to distract him from the sadness. And! To remind him that a special someone was celebrating their special day today! Here's your ticket to 'Happy Day'! Don't make me spoil the surprise, there's a reason why it's called a surprise, don't you ask me what'll happen, don't you dare do it, don't-

She'll make sure you show up though since her dutiful Clorinde is never far away from you or Furina herself. She'll pop out of the blue, remind you of the time and disappear again, not before leaving a small birthday card at your feet. There is a letter along with...Mhm? Is that- a coupon for Furina's favorite bakery?!

You get to buy your own birthday cake! That sounds so sad but so good at the same time. And surprise, surprise! There's a surprise! From Sigewinne, Navia, Chiori, Chevreuse, Freminet, Emilie and Charlotte too! Even the whole of spina de rosula came along to celebrate before your attendance to 'Happy Day'! You receive a gorgeous outfit from Chiori, she insists that it was just an excuse to better your wardrobe but we all know she's looked forward to sewing something up for you, for a long time. Chevreuse's gift is a pile of the best selling Fontaine books, many of which are her personal favorite, but perhaps you'll take a liking to them too!

Charlotte got everyone to fit into the group picture, and with a snap! Collects the memory. She also gifts you your very own Kamera! Now even you can match her as a frenzied journalist! Just make sure you show her your future pictures, she'd love to collaborate on her next journal page! ft. [Name]'s photography.

Freminet was a little shy at first, but after a little encouragement from his siblings to face you without his helmet, you just had to gush over the Pers he gave you. He's more than glad you like it, though the way you seem so happy gets him a little embarrassed- And the helmet goes back on! Uh...

There's something tapping your leg, wait! The Melusines are all here! And they have lots of nice stickers! One here, and there, and everywhere! Sigewinne wanted you to spend time with as many friends as possible, though she regrets to say that Wriothesley couldn't come along, but he took the time to gift you an assortment of luxurious tea as well as a...Pair of...Boxing gloves? Oh well, better get to some sporty activities then. Fortunately for you, Emilie just created a new perfume made of your favorite scents that gets rid of any foul odor, and it's a limited edition [Name]-reserved product too!

Cue Lyney and his little magic trick, watch as he gives you a feather, observe how it pops and turns out to be a party popper. He grabs one of the floating paper streamers, drops it in the hat, imagine your gift, reach down and- Tada! Your very own mini Lyney the cat! And- What is this? His assistant, Lynette, takes the lead! She hands you a blank card, on it, write your wish before she places it in her own hat, gesturing you to reach within and- Tada! You now have a mini kitty Lynette! Wooo! Keep smiling, they don't have to know you imagined as well as wrote a thousand mora.

❤️🧡💛Happy Birthday💚🩵💙

all of the girls you loved before

𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 ;; breakups weren’t always bitter, especially when she was still your friend. or, in which you catch-up on old memories with your ex girlfriend.

feat. navia, nilou, miko

notes. gn reader, short little drabbles of characters pulled from this poll !!

NAVIA.

“We had our first date here, didn’t we?”

Yes. And it was a Tuesday. Navia hated Tuesdays. Today was another Tuesday, and what should’ve been normal probably was a sour reminiscence in her mind. First date was always innocent—a Fontainian coffee shop the one time both of your schedules allowed it.

“We did,” she shortly replied. There was a pout in her voice, one that she hoped sounded as spoiled and passive as she hoped it would. But not one of her muscles could control the quiver in her lip as she spared you a glance, noticing how there was no longer a light in your eyes at this place anymore.

Did you stop fantasizing about this place? Did this cafe no longer make your heart dazzle at the thought of your first date? Was she really the only one who remembered it so clearly?

Your first date was on a Tuesday. Your next one was on a Saturday. Your first kiss together was on a Monday. She hated herself for remembering all of this, especially now that you’re no longer an item. And, she hated you more for not remembering any of this. But as she watched you bite into a pastry, the same way as you did all those years ago on your first date, she hated being your friend.

Those eyes of hers, ones she can never control: if you spared her a look for just a second, you could see the yearning in them. The love and loyalty that still came with her heart.

But on this dreaded weekday, the most she could long for now was an outing between two best friends.

Navia hated Tuesdays.

NILOU.

“Remember when we used to swing here in the early mornings?”

She found a smile making its way to her lips when your words reached her ears. “Yes,” of course she remembered. Those days when the sun barely knelt engaged to the sky, and the dew of the swing would wet the edges of her dress. A time when you’d still look at her with blooming dawn in your eyes and when whispered affections scattered upon the light air.

The sky was pitch dark now; which, sure, is totally blamed on the hour of the night. But it felt weird to sit here next to you when the sun was long gone. She’s only ever been here in the daylight, when your gaze would still shine like the dancer herself was sweet honey to your tea, or when your love was still sparkling in the dewy grass.

“Nilou? Nilou?”

She snapped out of her thoughts to see you looking at her from the adjacent swing. Your brows were furrowed in concern, but due to the light—or lack thereof—she saw only blankness. This was not concern out of love or passion, now replaced with a simple friendliness she came to hate.

“Sorry,” she sheepishly said. “I just miss those mornings.”

“We can have them again,” you proposed. “We can have picnics here and sit and swing like we used to.”

Don’t play with my heart like that. It was plain fully obvious you meant it as a friend—to only spend mornings here as friends, but never lovers, not anymore. She misses you, she thinks. You and your world that she was no longer a part of.

YAE MIKO.

“We met in the summer, didn’t we?”

She only hummed in affirmation. Summertime stung like a stick on her skin. And yet, that feeling when Inazuma gets humid and the sun shines eternal, she associates it all with you. She met you in the summer, and fell in love with you that same season.

She laughed. “We did, we did!” She teased you a bit, ignorant to the redness staining her own cheeks. “Why, are we going to be celebrating our anniversary together?” There was a taunting smile on her face, one that was nudging you on. But when all you did was playfully scoff and brush her off, she could not stop the sinking feeling in her chest. Curse the art of romance.

She didn’t like the way you just casually brushed her shoulder like that. So passively, like any friend would do. But it was worse when the missed the feeling of your fingers around her arm, holding tightly with past love and affections that were no longer there. No, she was just a friend now. No need for any strings or attached feelings.

You split ways on the winter solstice. How dreadful that was.

“Perhaps we should celebrate the anniversary of our breakup, instead,” you joked. You genuinely laughed. She genuinely hated it. Winter was cold. And when the cold came, there were only dark days as all her love ended in ‘goodbye’. Then when winter ended, springtime left her a broken vase pouring out her love from the cracks of her heart.

And if she could go back in time to love you again, she would.

Part 4 the end

A/n Inspiration struck me randomly so i must go with it

The desert is boring. Inbetween your trips and escorts are you often spending alot of time just in the sand doing nothing. Dancing is a common practice amongst tribes to pass the time and lighten the mood. Although you have never had the race and balance for it. You liked watching people dance instead. You had escorted a few merchants across the desert and thus were making your way back to the main central hub for eremites where you would escort another person. Unfortunately your tribe was content with sleeping off the exhaustion instead of any fun card games or dances. You never had the gut to ask, worried your tough exterior might crack. So you headed to the nearest oasis, the intention was just to bathe a little.

The night was beautiful, the stars were on full view with not a cloud in sight. Its as if there was just a blue filter over the desert with how well lit it was. So you quickly saw the figure of the dancing lady in the oasis. You stopped. If it was a fellow eremite you might be in trouble. Territorial disputes, or just adrenaline junkies were common. You weren’t good at negotiations. Come to think of it, you really weren’t good at much aside from strength related activities, and cooking. Hunting in the desert was a pain, scorpion meat wasn’t tasty so spices and marinades was your way of keeping sane and disguising any sneaky sand particles.

But her dance wasn’t similar to most you had seen. Nor were there others eremites around. It wasn’t impossible. Unfortunately sometimes eremites would be the last ones standing in their tribe, you had met a young girl named Jeht who was attracted by your cooking. You shared with her because you were full anyways, your tribe didn’t like that particular experimental marinade you came up with. So she ate her fill, telling you about her father and mothers passing. How she was looking for Babel, you wished her well and pointed to where you thought she was.

Looking at her closer now however you don’t think she’s a eremite. Actually she kind of looked like a goddess of sorts. Long flowy fabrics, her headdress, her movements were so graceful and serene. She danced to the melody of the night, of the nearby birds that chirped and the loud bugs. Her red hair flowed beautifully as she danced in a shallow part of the oasis, letting the water cool her feet. You knew it was wrong to just… watch someone but.. you couldn’t help it. You sat behind one of the bended palm trees and watched closely.

She was humming. A tune you didn’t know. But it was beautiful to watch. Her face was focused, she seemed.. stressed actually. Sweat dripped down her forehead. Before her eyes suddenly landed on you. A shock was evident as you quickly stood up and backed away.

“S-sorry.. just wanted some.. water..” you said, leaving your claymore in the ground as you cautiously approached the water from the other end. Purposely putting distance between you two in hopes she wouldn’t run off.

“O-oh that’s quite fine. Ah i didn’t mean to pollute the water with my uh… feet.. i just was walking for so long on the hot sand that i uh…”

“Don’t worry I’m not drinking it.” You said a little weirded out by that thought, water is water, so long as its safe you would drink it. But she probably had a different opinion of cleanliness.

“Oh okay..” silence fell between you as you took the opportunity to wash your hair. Cupping the water and drenching your face and hair in it. Temporarily did you remove your mask. Making her cover her mouth for a reason you weren’t sure about. “I.. i didn’t expect you to have such striking eyes. Sorry that must sound weird.”

“It doesn’t really. I’ve gotten weirder comments from people.” You say. You shake off the rest of the water. You would have a proper shower back at the main city, but for now you had to do with this. “So, what is your profession?”

“H-hm? Oh right. I’m Nilou, a dancer for the Zubayr Theatre. We put on lots of performances. My most recent performance was supposed to be about a desert girl so I figured it might help to actually go to the desert. I came later but it was still so hot.” She giggled awkwardly. You sat down, the water soaking your shoes.

“That sounds lovely. Eremites do have their own dances but it really isn’t as intricate as yours. But i think it helps to actually see the desert.” You paused trying to come up with a conversation topic to continue.”You know, not many people in Sumeru actually ever come here. they’re too intimidated by the gangs and hot sand and scorpions. I can’t blame them too much but they’re really missing out.”

“really?” She seemed intrigued.

“Well.. i think that’s just kind of like life you know, you gotta fight bad guys, conquer the environment and you get rewarded with sights like this, the cloudless night with endless stars, the oasis’s. Not to mention the foxes.” She smiled at that.

“Oh yes the foxes! They’re so cute but so skiddish. I wish I could pet one.” She sighed.

“Sometimes they actually come near me. Well only this specific family near Aaru village. I fed them a few times and so they’re more comfortable around me. Truth be told they aren’t optimal for meat or food so i hardly ever do try to hurt them.” She seemed a little startled by that concept, likely envisioning a cruel fate for such cute critters at your hands. You felt a embarrassed by that thought. “Not that i ever have eaten one. Scorpions are better food. They hardly ever hide and they provide alot of meat. They have a texture i’d compare to liek… lobster maybe?”

“Oh. I didn’t know they were edible.” She seemed less weirded out. ‘Wait why are you so eager to impress this lady anyway?’ “Although that does sound a little bit tasty.. i guess I should try it sometime.”

“Oh its great with a rosemary, boar fat, and sweet flower marinade with hara hara spice and minimal salt, oh you can pepper too.”

“Wow, is that recipe popular with eremites?” She asked curiously. You shook your head. Again embarrassed, most eremites looked at your weirdly when you showed that much interest in culinary passions. Although they didn’t complain or argue when you had something to show for it and for them to sample. You still felt embarrassed for culinary preferences to your potential weak spot. Getting spices and other flavors isn’t easy out here.

“Just me and my tribe. Mainly because of me.” You said. “I just can’t stand the same old things for too long. I find the process of concocting and working my surroundings to be quite relaxing. I don’t really know how to make much else that isn’t meaty.i hardly ever get vegetables.” You trailed on. She however seemed more comfortable, even sitting across from you.

“They must like you alot. In my troupe our chef is the most important one. You can’t work well on a empty stomach afterall.” She smiled.

“They tolerate it.” You paused as you decided not to divulge your tensions and issues with your tribe to a stranger. “Say, whats your favorite kind of dishes.” You asked curiously. She seemed to light up.

“Oh I simply love padisarah pudding, there’s also Tachin and sheermal!” You were however lost. You never had any puddings, tachin you had, but you were curious about these delicacies. A curiosity was peaked that you couldn’t satiate. Something pulling you now from your homelife right into her world. Into the forests, the city..

“I’ve never had padisarah pudding. Is it a dessert?” You asked. She nodded.

“Oh you should its lovely, if you ever come to sumeru city I’d love to treat you to some.” She smiled. Your embarrassment was different now, less of shame and now of.. confusion and surprise. You hadn’t had someone like her treat you so nicely, offering you what must be a bit pricey of a promise. She was only a dancer after all, her wages can’t be that good. But that offer sparked something in your stone heart. A crush? Love? Attraction? You bottles it away to deal with later.

“Maybe I will. My tribe and I are heading back in the morning actually. Are you going to the Caravan Ribat tomorrow?” You asked.

“Ah i am. But its okay I can go by myself. I don’t want to burden your tribe out of nowhere.”

“I insist. Its not too safe and… well.. i don’t mean to be mean or rude but your outfit might lure.. robbers and such. I’d be happy to accompany you alone if you would feel safer like that.” You said. ‘Whats wrong with you? Why are you insistent on making sure she’s safe now?’

“Well if you insist. I guess I should’ve thought about a plan to go back.. actually… if you don’t mind… could I sleep near your camp or.. in it maybe? I’m worried about sandstorms coming now.” She seemed rather embarrassed.

“I’ll bring my tent over don’t worry.” You said. “I’ll be right back.” You said, leaving your claymore.

‘Gosh what has gotten into you! Usually you would charge for such but you’re offering a escort for completely free just because she indulged your culinary curiosity and was nice! Are you truly so depraved of affection that you would throw yourself at the feet of those stuck up Akademiya nuts? But she’s not in the Akademiya, she’s a dancer, you hear they hate the arts. If anything she’s more familiar with the adversity you face than you would think. Whatever. You’ll just walk to the Ribat and maybe spend the day with her for a change. You can get a break surely. At least to try that pudding and maybe even see her performance…’

You knew deep down that something else was blooming inside. Your heart nurtured a seed of interest that turned into something more romantic as you thought about Nilou more and more. Ignoring the looks of your fellow tribe members who just shrugged and went back to bed as you hauled the whole tent yourself. You knew however that chances of a successful relationship with a non eremite wouldn’t be in your favor. For your home is the sand and hers is the flowers. But.. it couldn’t hurt to indulge your curiosity. She probably doesn’t even reciprocate anyways.

Nilou meanwhile tried her damnest to fix her headdress and her hair. Hoping she wouldn’t look like a slob or improper lady infront of that attractive eremite.

Making mehndi designs on them 

characters: dehya, nilou, kaveh, nahida, cyno, gn!reader

Dehya 

She’s really bad at sitting still, is the restless type and often messes up your designs by accidentally touching herself. So you have to scold her once in a while and keep an eye out 

Other than being told to sit still, she actually finds the process quite calming and relaxing 

The cold mehndi on her hands makes her shiver in a good way 

Plus, she gets to see you make all kinds of faces while doing her mehndi. And… she didn’t realise this before but you looked really pretty. The way the hot sun would cast a golden glow around you and the way your eyelashes would flutter with every blink–

Anyways

Being a pyro vision holder, her body runs warm so you bet her mehndi comes out really dark and gorgeous. 

As a thank you, she does your nails in a pretty burgundy to match the red on her hands 

Nilou 

She’s so excited that you’d be doing her mehndi for her!!! 

As a performer, she always has mehndi on her hands but it’s always just a simple big dot on the centre of her palms. 

That’s why getting some elaborate designs on her hands makes her feel so happy, plus the fact that you’re doing it makes it even better! 

You even purchased a blue tinted mehndi to make accents on her feet and her arms 

She’s in LOVE 

Her mehndi unfortunately doesn’t darken much, hydro vision holders just dont have that much body heat so the colour is almost orange-ish… except for the tinted blue designs! Which look stunning 

Kaveh 

Was shocked to hear that you wanted to put mehndi on his hands. Or feet. Wherever he preferred 

Sure, he used to play with his mother’s make up and mehndi before but ne never really got it done properly 

So this would be a first time for him 

He appreciates how you patiently handle him, there may have been times where he got a little cranky sitting still and his legs got numb but you didn’t give up

And he’s glad that you didn’t 

Because the end product was absolutely beautiful and he badgers Alhaitham by saying 

“y/n made these! They’re so talented… hey, look at me while I’m talking haitham!”

He wants to return you the favour by making mehndi designs on your hands too but he’s never held a mehndi cone before so it’s quite sloppy 

Still, you proudly show your hands off. “Look! Kaveh made this!! Pretty isn’t it?”

Nahida 

Actually, she’s the one who suggested you do her mehndi. All she wanted was a simple dot on her palms but you said no!

Nahida deserves much more intricate designs. Not that simple patterns are bad but you have never seen her indulge in her pleasures so this is the perfect time 

The-dream-mehndi-customer^™ 

You feel like you’re applying mehndi on a doll 

It’s so easy and probably the best person you’ve put mehndi on!!!!

Turns out extra gorgeous because she sat super still and the design was SAFE 

You got so excited that you even did her feet. Now Nahida has stunning red hands and feet.

Everyone compliments her 

Particularly her aranara friends 

Cyno 

He’s just bored while doing his duty when you come up to him like surprise surprise!!! 

You ask him if you can decorate his hands with mehndi designs

He immediately says no because he’s on duty 

Lo and behold, Nahida walks out of her office and she says 

“It’ll be fun! Get some break, work is done for the day anyways”

So now he guesses he’s stuck with you on the steps of his home with you hunched over his hands making pretty squiggles with mehndi 

You mess up his designs tho because Cyno could NOT shut up not stop making his stupid jokes which made you laugh at the stupidity of them 

Voila, one big mistake. You accidentally smudged THE ENTIRE DESIGN OFF HIS HAND AHHHHHH

Now you are upset and crying over your hard work being wiped away 

Meanwhile Cyno calms you down and tells you to just do his feet instead

Food for thought, what about Genshin yanderes whose darling is also a yandere for them? Could you see yandere x yandere couples happening in your normalized au?

Oh my goodness definitely, I think some yanderes such as Thoma would fall into this, like Thoma would be go sweet to his partner and since he has such obsessive and protective tendencies he wouldn’t even care about their unhealthy habits towards him, if anything they only feed into each other. Then the same could apply to Gorou who is also very obsessed but even more so protective, so his darling can do what ever they want as long as he stays by their side and keeps them from harm.

Other yanderes that fit- KAVEH, JEAN, NAVIA, Nilou, Ganyu, Lynette

JEAN

Your seelie was just rolling around in the flower beds while waiting for you to finish up groceries. It was content with just minding its own business, when a familiar voice piqued its interest, causing it to stop rolling around and look up at who it was.

“Right there should be good. Ah, do you need some help?” It was…the blonde woman! The woman that you liked! Jean! Miss Jean! Your baby seelie chirped around in excitement and rolled around until it fell out of the flower bed, shaking before drifting off to stalk your favorite person. (She was also your seelie’s favorite person because she smelled like dandelions! Your seelie loves flowers, and Jean was like a giant flower…)

After a while of stalking Jean, your seelie admired her authoritative figure from afar and came up with a plan. You liked Jean…you were happy whenever you saw Jean…the seelie should bring Jean to you! Yes! It should do that! 

And so, your little baby seelie rushed headfirst towards the unsuspecting acting grandmaster, head butting into her cheek and bopping against her head. Jean nearly lost it, jumping and about to throw a quick punch to defend herself when she saw that it was just a baby seelie. An extra affectionate one at that…

“Oh dear…a seelie?” She tilted her head in confusion when your seelie began nuzzling against her cheek, trying to nudge her in the direction of where you were. “You…want me to go?” A little squeak answered her question. “I see…I suppose I could oblige..”

They say seelies were lost spirits that often led people to hidden treasure, but for Jean’s case, your seelie led her to you. A treasure in your own right. When you heard the familiar chirps of your little seelie companion, you looked up and was rightfully surprised by the treat your seelie brought. Not a stick, not a leaf, but a whole hot woman.

“Oh Barbatos…” you quickly rushed over in embarrassment. “I’m so sorry, Jean. My seelie seems to like you a lot because you smell like flowers. They have a tendency to  bring them to me whenever they find one they like.”

“…Oh? Am I a flower, then?” Jean chuckled with amusement, watching as your face grew warm at the thought. “Well, to my seelie, yes.” You smiled awkwardly, your seelie leaning in close to sniff Jean’s hair.   “Ah…no, you can’t sniff Jean—!”

The dandelion knight laughed at your curious baby seelie. The way their little face smushed into her hair was tickling her in a rather pleasant way, so the knight really didn’t mind. “It’s alright, I don’t mind…” Jean smiles, looking up at you with comfort, “I don’t mind being a flower for you…”

Your seelie let out a satisfied squeak at that.

HU TAO

Your seelie was one to play pranks often around the funeral parlor. A mischievous little spirit, it liked to lurk amongst the coffins and jump out at unsuspecting employees like a little ghost. While you’ve scolded this habit many, many times, your boss —and crush— Hu Tao seemed adamant on letting the little seelie express their mischief, finding the whole situation rather funny. 

Well, maybe she’s not laughing so much anymore after this little prank. When it was around closing time and the only people inside the parlor were you and Hu Tao. You were just about ready to head home when you called out for your seelie to come out of hiding, a little concerned when they did not squeak or chirp back.

“Huh…that’s odd…” you looked around the room in confusion, Hu Tao entering the room with a cheeky grin. “What’s odd? Is there a creepy feeling you can’t shake off?” Hu Tao teases, leaning in to rest her chin on your shoulder. 

Your heart fluttered at the sensation, quickly getting butterflies as you cleared your throat and smiled. “I suppose, I can’t find my baby seelie. I don’t know if they’re hiding or…”

Your boss grins and playfully winks at you. “Pulling a prank? I think so too…!” She waltzes around nonchalantly and starts looking through every empty coffin with ease. “Your baby seelie is just the cutest aren't they? Aiya…I wonder what they’re gonna do this time…”

She smirks at you and you feel like you’re about to faint. It’s not often that you have this kind of alone time with your boss, and when it happens, she’s always the type to tease you every chance she gets. “We shouldn’t encourage this type of behavior, Hu Tao. If my seelie continues to pull pranks like these, they’ll grow up to be—”

You both nearly jumped at the sound of a mischievous squeak. Your seelie was nearby! “Oh? Looks like they’re close…” Hu Tao grins, leaning closer to you, “I wonder where they…”

And then Hu Tao let out a loud yelp, leaping into the air and clinging to your body when your seelie bopped onto her back. Although you weren’t too startled by the sudden appearance, you still stood frozen in place at the feeling of Hu Tao holding you tightly. It was enough to make your heart rate spike, but not due to fear that Hu Tao originally thought…

“Ahhh geez, you scared me!” Hu Tao laughed, still holding onto your arm happily. “You’re such a cheeky thing, little one. I almost had to plan a funeral for myself!” As Hu Tao continued laughing however, you couldn’t shake off the feeling of her warm arms hugging onto yours and the snickering little squeaks of your mischievous little seelie. Who, if you might’ve guessed, definitely planned this interaction from the start…

GANYU

Seelies have slug-like appendages on their bodies that look like horns. Ganyu had horns…was Ganyu a seelie? Your pet seelie was deep in thought as it watched you and Ganyu converse by the pond in Liyue Harbor, wondering if the half adepti woman was just a weird looking seelie, or a human that happened to look like a seelie…

Either way, she was taking up too much of your attention and your seelie was getting jealous. How dare this big, fluffy seelie steal your attention for so long? You’ve barely glanced at them since you started talking with Ganyu! They were practically glaring holes into the adepti’s head, but no one noticed because well…seelies don’t have eyes…

“I’ll be right back, can you watch my seelie for a few minutes, Ganyu?” Your seelie perked up at your words. “Of course, they’re such an adorable little fellow, leave it to me…!” Hehe…your seelie has gotten an idea…

As you left Ganyu with your seelie, it then turned to glare at Ganyu and stare at her horns with blindsided rage. They aren’t here right now, this means war! Their little slug-like horns wriggling with fury as it made angry little chirps and squeaks. Ganyu didn’t understand a thing, but only smiled when she saw how frazzled your seelie got.

“Awe, are you excited little guy?” Ganyu chuckled, reaching up to hold it. “Don’t worry, your owner will be back soo—” BONK!

Ganyu recoiled in surprise when your seelie all of a sudden charged at her head, aiming for her horns as if it were a goat challenging  for a mate. Get back! Get back! It made angry little chirps at Ganyu and tried so hard to intimidate her with its superiority. Clearly, it was the better seelie for you. 

“Ah! W-Wait what is this—?” It didn’t hurt at all, but Ganyu was still very surprised and startled by what the seelie was trying to do. Die die die! As it tried to smush itself against her horns, you eventually came back and Ganyu ran to you in desperation. “Helppppp!” She wailed, your seelie still chasing after her horns. “It’s attacking me…!”

Your eyes widened at the sight. Ganyu running and covering her horns as your seelie angrily chased her and tried bonking against her head. “Oh my—” Ganyu rushed over to hug you and duck her head down low, the seelie scrambling up her hair and causing the adepti to whine. “Please helpppppp…” 

It seems a rivalry has formed between your crush and your seelie. The latter being determined to win you over no matter what while Ganyu cried to you in confusion. While this may seem like a bad thing, it seems that your little seelie had accidentally gotten you and Ganyu a little closer, if there was anything to go by with how close Ganyu was hugging you….

EI

As a lowly servant to the almighty shogun, you were barely recognized by her grace and therefore ignored due to your low social standing. It’s not like she purposely tried to ignore you, but due to her being of such high status, it was almost impossible to grab her attention as you were just a mere, faceless servant…

That is, until your seelie decided to take matters into their own hands. The curious little fellow, having noticed your longing stares and distracted gaze, wondered if there was anything they could do to grab the shogun’s attention for you. They were quite frankly, a bit tired of watching you pine over Ei from a distance. So, they formulated a plan behind your back to get Ei to notice you. (How sweet, yet also sad. Your seelie was playing wingman…)

So one day, while you were distracted baking Ei’s favorite sweets in the kitchen, your seelie wandered off without your permission to the private garden in which Ei meditated. It peeked its little head out of the bushes to watch the archon meditate in silence before formulating a plan to bring her to you. A determined look in the seelie’s…face orb, as it suddenly rushed out to summon a girlfriend for you.

“Hm…?” Ei felt a tiny prescience rushing towards her and raised a brow. “Miko, if that is you, I don’t have time to proofread your newest Yuri novel—“ SMACK.

Like it had just collided with a window, your seelie slowly slid off the archon’s face and fell to the ground like jello. The shogun staring blankly at it before comprehending the fact that she had been face slapped by a baby seelie. “…Oh!” She blinked and leaned down to inspect the little fellow. “You’re a seelie, aren’t you? A rather small one at that…”

It chirped when it finally gained consciousness and looked up at the archon with one beady eye. Scrambling to fly back up and tug at the archon’s braid to pull her where it needed to go. To you. 

“…You’re taking me somewhere?” She looked down at your seelie trying to tug her somewhere and she reluctantly decided to follow. “I suppose it won’t hurt...” What she did not expect however was for your seelie to drag her over to you, where you were too busy baking the shogun’s favorite dessert to notice her presence in the doorway. 

‘A person…?’ Ei tilted her head when she spotted you, curious as to why she’s never seen you before in her palace. Surely she would remember a person with such an attractive face… 

“Excuse me,” Ei cleared her throat, smiling when she saw you jump slightly and turn around to face her. “I don’t believe we have formally introduced ourselves. May I know the name of such a pretty person…?”  

As you stared shell shocked at your shogun in front of you, your seelie only bounced excitedly in the air beside her, seemingly proud of themselves for matching you up with your crush…

NILOU

You always admired Nilou’s dancing whenever she performed under the Zubayr Theater. Your seelie even more so as every time you caught a show with her, they’d sway along to the music beside you as if to mimic her beautiful dance.

It was always an endearing sight, watching the little baby seelie spin around in circles without a care in the world. You couldn’t help but smile whenever they did this, and to your own lack of knowledge, Nilou enjoyed it too, as she couldn’t help but be enthralled by the sight of a baby seelie dancing with her, next to a rather attractive looking person who always caught her eye…

She always looked forward to seeing you two whenever she had a performance. You always came to see her shows and she’d always try to spot you and your seelie in the crowd before she got to performing. 

One day, Nilou decided to kick it up a notch during one of her performances, twirling around gracefully before extending her hand out to the audience. “I’d like a very special audience member to come join me as my dance partner…” she chimes sweetly, specifically looking in your direction as she really wanted you to accept…

To her surprise, your seelie lunged forward at the opportunity and squealed with excitement, spinning around her with fever. “Oh my…it seems this little one has volunteered…” Nilou smiled and glanced at you in the crowd, sending you a small wink to make your heart race. “I’ll be sure to give them a show they’ll never forget.” 

Whether she was talking to you or your seelie was unclear, but Nilou didn’t lie. The way she danced in this particular performance was like she was trying to keep your eyes locked on her. Your seelie doing its best to keep up as it swayed with the music and bounced with each beat. 

She seemed more…energetic during this dance. Smiling when she saw how giddy your seelie was getting and glancing at you to gauge your reaction. After a while, she spun particularly close to the crowd and extended her hand.

“How about we make this a throuple dance…?” She grinned charmingly, seelie coming up to rub against your cheek and practically begging for you to join in on the fun too. “Don’t worry, your little friend and I will make sure you don’t fall.”

Your heart sped up when your seelie nudged your hand upwards to take her hand. The audience behind you cheered for you to take her hand as you slowly grasped her touch in yours. “There you go…don’t worry now, we’ll keep the tempo for you.”

here’s a halloween one oooooooo hehehhe

where sumeru has a halloween party and someone lost a bet heh

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ 🕸 ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺

(idea from twitter😋)

“Why do I have to wear this?” Kaveh asked the two men as they laughed at the blonde.

“Because someone lost a bet,” Cyno replied through laughter, “You don’t even look bad.”

“You made me wear cat ears. Cat ears! Ofc course I look stupid!” Kaveh exclaimed, looking at himself in the mirror. “I cannot go out looking like this.” He wore black cat ears which matched a black bodysuit. A tail was attached to the back of the suit, dawning stockings and black heels. Tighnari had drawn cat whiskers and a nose on him as well.

“Kaveh, you look fine, really.” Tighnari comforted the distressed blonde. “Now we have to go, or we will be late. You know Dehya would kill us if we were late.”

“Yeah, yeah whatever. I just wish I had more.. coverage.” Kaveh grabbed his key to his apartment and fixed his hair one last time. “Is Alhaitham going to be there?”

“Probably not, he’s never gone to one before.” Tighnari answered as Cyno grabbed his waist. The two were dressed as little red riding hood and the Big Bad Wolf, Cyno’s idea.

“Good. I wouldn’t hear the end of it if he saw me like this.”

“We wouldn’t either.” Cyno and Tighnari looked at each other, snickering at Kaveh’s obliviousness. “Now c���mon, let’s go.”

The three of them walked out of Kaveh and Alhaitham’s apartment, Kaveh relieved that Alhaitham was out running errands.

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ 🕸 ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺

The party had just started, yet the crowd was humongous and ever growing.

“Guys, you made it!” Nilou greeted, hugging each of them. She was dressed up as a fairy.

“Yep.” Kaveh answered, trying his best to cover up his legs. He looked around to see if anybody wore an outfit as revealing as his own, noticing a few which eased his nerves. “Where are the drinks at?”

“Oh, they’re just over there! Feel free to take as many as you want!” Nilou pointed to a table of punch bowls and some other bowls filled with more drinks. Kaveh looked back, noticing that Cyno and Tighnari had left him to talk to Dehya and Candace. He shrugged it off before thanking Nilou and walking over, grabbing a drink and chugging it before grabbing another.

A few men walking by, obviously drunk, meowed at the poor blonde as he tried to cover himself up again. He hated this and just wanted to go home. He decided to take another drink, this time sipping on it before going to an area with much less people.

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ 🕸 ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺

After a few minutes of watching everything happen, he decided to get another drink, and another, and another. Eventually, Kaveh started to get tipsy, completely forgetting about his insecurities of the costume he wore.

“Alhaitham, there you are, where have you been?!” Kaveh heard his roommate’s name and looked over to see it was Nilou talking to a very vampire looking Alhaitham. “I spent hours dressing you up,” Nilou was now pouting.”

“Sorry, it was loud.” Alhaitham shrugged, avoiding eye contact with her. He wore a black suit with a cape, his hair done, and fake blood staining his clothes and face.

Nilou just pouted at him as he rolled his eyes. “You’re the one who asked me to help you. You can at least show off my hard work!”

“Yeah, yeah. Thank you.” He was looking around for something, but kaveh couldn’t make out what it was. Eventually he made eye contact with Alhaitham. Kaveh looked away almost immediately, looking down at the floor and sipping on his what felt like 69th drink of the night. “I’ll see you around, I’m going to get a drink.”

Now Alhaitham was walking over to Kaveh. The blonde froze, not knowing what to do. He probably didn’t even want to talk to him. Alhaitham was just getting a drink, right?

Wrong.

The gray haired man stood right in front of Kaveh. “What the hell are you wearing?” Kaveh could not bare to look up at Alhaitham. “Kaveh?”

“I, um, lost a bet with Cyno and Tighnari. They made me wear it. I would never choose to wear this!” Kaveh finally looked up at Alhaitham, and oh boy did the man look hot as a vampire.

“Hm.” Was all Alhaitham responded, which made Kaveh slightly angry. “Well, I think you look rather..”

“Don’t even say it. I know I look stupid, I don’t need you telling me that too!” Kaveh frowned, glaring at Alhaitham.

“That’s not what I was going to say.”

“Oh.” Kaveh blushed, a bit uncomfortable that he assumed what Alhaitham was going to say. “Well, what were you going to say?”

“You look cute.” Alhaitham said, nonchalantly. Kaveh’s face became as red as a pyro slime, burning with embarrassment.

“I am not cute. I am literally older than you, how can I be cute?”

“Cats are always cute, especially black ones.” Okay, this was getting weird.

“What are you on about?” Kaveh was kind of getting nervous. Was Alhaitham flirting with him? Kaveh has seen his fair share of terrifying things, but this has to be the scariest thing he had ever seen.

“Sorry, Nilou told me that would work. I just sound stupid now, don’t I?”

Kaveh just blinked. “She told you what would work?”

“Flirting.”

Wait, wait, wait. He was flirting?! What is happening?

“What do you mean?”

Alhaitham just sighed, blinking and looking disappointed. “God, I forgot how much of a dumbass you can be sometimes.”

“A dumbass? Me? You’re the one acting like you’ve done this to me before!”

“Because I have tried, I just didn’t know what I was doing. It also doesn’t help with how oblivious you are, Kaveh.”

“Me? Oblivious? I am far from oblivious.” Kaveh was smart, of course he would notice if Alhaitham was flirting, right?

“You’re the most oblivious person I have ever met.”

“You’re so rude!”

“And you’re cute when you’re all flustered.” Alhaitham pulled Kaveh closer by his waist. “Are you getting the hint now?”

Kaveh was a mess, his face was still beat red and dropped his now empty cup. “I- But- What?” Alhaitham just sighed before he connected their lips. Kaveh immediately pulled away, staring up at Alhaitham. “What was that?!”

“Kaveh. I like you. Well, no, I’m in love with you.” Alhaitham stared at Kaveh, waiting for a response.

“Really?”

“Really.”

“I like you too..” Kaveh Admitted, leaning his head on Alhaitham’s shoulder and his fake cat ears hitting Alhaitham in the face.

Alhaitham couldn’t help but smile, looking at Kaveh as the blonde looked back up at him. He decided to take his cape and wrap it around Kaveh, to hopefully hide his revealed skin. Feeling a lump as he lowered his hands around Kaveh’s waist after he was done.

“Do you have a tail?” Alhaitham asked, chuckling

“Oh, shut up.”

“Some kitty is feisty.” Kaveh just glared at Alhaitham as he chuckled.

“Want to go back home?”

“Mhm.” Was all Alhaitham said, holding Kaveh’s hand as they walked out of the Bazaar together.

synopsis: planning nilou's birthday, your assigned baking partner, alhaitham, blurts out something unexpected. he finds out you're sweeter than the cake you both baked. contains: not proofread, literally rushed, sfw (implied nsfw at the end but i dont go into detail), a smidge suggestive, gender neutral reader, other characters, maybe ooc, mainly self indulgent. a/n: me desperately including cyno every chance i get (also him throwing shade at paimon) part 1 here !

Everyone received a handmade party hat from Paimon. The party hats had glitter on them and were made of cardboard. Streamers were attached to the pom-pom-topped portion of the cone. Everyone's pupils dilated when they set their eyes on them.

“Did the children make this?” Tighnari questioned, meaning no harm. “Hey! Paimon made that!” She huffed.

“It’s… something,” Alhaitham muttered. 

“I know, I know. Just put them on. In any case, it’s for Nilou,” Dehya sighed.

“Paimon can hear you, ya’know!?” She stomped her feet in the air. “Whatever, just go to your places!” she sulked. The Traveler had planned that they would all sneak up on Nilou and surprise her. They used the same partners for the arrangements: Traveler, Dehya and Paimon, Tighnari and Cyno, and You and Alhaitham.  A thought immediately appears in your mind — Oh great, the archons must hate me.

The lights turn off, and for a while, it’s an awkward silence. You and Alhaitham hid in a tight, cramped spot behind some boxes.

“Stop breathing so loud,” he whispered. “What do you want me to do? Stop breathing?” You elbowed him in the arm. “If that keeps you quiet, I’m not stopping you.” 

The audacity. He called you cute earlier; now he’s telling you to stop breathing?  Even from behind, you can still feel him towering over you. You wouldn't deny that you found him attractive; he checked nearly all the boxes for the qualities of your type, yet you just couldn’t raise his ego any higher. You thought he was cocky and proud enough.

[Name]’s so close. Alhaitham thinks to himself. His mind is cloudy and hazy; why does he always end up in situations like this? He couldn’t stand the absence of space between him and you. Of course, he ended up muttering things he didn’t even mean. When he first saw the spot you both were meant to hide in, he wanted to back out. He knew he would lose his mind in that small space with you. 

Then suddenly, the lights switched on. 

“Surprise!” They cheered, followed by Cyno’s deadpanned version— “Surprise.” 

You both completely forgot about the surprise. When the lights turned on, Alhaitham realized what you guys looked like and the position you both were in. He immediately took a step back. You ran to Nilou, and Alhaitham followed behind you. 

“This is amazing!” Nilou had stars in her eyes. “We’re glad you like it!” Paimon clears her throat, “Can Paimon—ehem, I mean, can we eat now?” Nilou nods, “Of course! You all worked so hard. Thank you!” 

As you all make your way to the table, Dehya unexpectedly comes your way. She wraps her arm around your shoulder and says, "Hey, [Name], what's up with you and that scribe? Are you two dating, or what? You’ve both been acting really weird.” You appreciate her concern, but her words leave you puzzled. “Dating”, why is it that your heart flutters? You wave her off, “I’m not sure either.”  

Everyone takes in the beauty of the feast, some, far too much. (Paimon’s drooling) “Traveler, can you control your pet?” Cyno hissed. “Hey! It’s not Paimon’s fault that the food looks sooo tasty!” She whined. "Let's save the arguing for later, now let's celebrate the birthday of our dearest friend, Nilou." Tighnari expressed. Nilou thanked him. "Let's sing happy birthday!" Paimon started clapping. Everyone had a look of uncertainty on their face, "If you all are uncomfortable with it, I don't mind." Nilou reassured the rest, to tell the truth, she didn't think that most of the people present would be willing to sing. "Nonsense, it's tradition." Dehya noted, of course she had two reasons. One — she wanted Nilou to be happy, and two — she wanted to make fun of Alhaitham and Cyno. 

(Cue them singing and clapping, which I won't write bc im laughing too much imagining it 🥹 CYNO ALHAITHAM AND TIGHNARI WOULD BE 100% MONOTONE AND THE WAY CYNO AND ALHAITHAMS VOICE WOULD STAND OUT)

You can hear Paimon's embarrassed chuckle as Nilou cheered insisting, "That was fantastic." Dunyarzad asks "Alhaitham, would you do the honor of slicing the cake?" As he is the closest to the cake. "Sure," He says. Alhaitham proceeded to cut the cake into pieces and placed one on your plate. “Thank you," you muttered. You took a bite, the sweet frosting coating your lips. While you were focused on the cake, he was focused on you—on your lips. He fantasized about using his thumb to wipe the frosting from your lips as he stared at them. He didn’t know what came over him, but he gave into his impulses.

He looked around, he saw that their nation's god, Nahida, arrived. The rest had gone to greet her— no one could disturb you two.

Before you could leave, he grabs your jaw and turns you to face him. You look at him with confusion; you were practically redder than the cherries on the cake. He glides his thumb across your lips, wiping the frosting off your lips, and licks it off his finger. “You’re sweeter than the cake, [Name].” He stares at you, the way your ears turn red, and the way you melt in your seat. “You– you could’ve told me I had frosting on my lips!” He was stunned. Were you going to ignore the fact that he just did... that? “Right.” He stood up. “I’ll get you some tissues.” 

 “Wait.” You grab his hand. “There’s still a lot of this cake left.”

…

Nilou turned around, "Huh? Where'd they go?"

I can’t be without you

Nilou x gn Eremite reader

The final part!

Part 3

Part 2

Part 1

A/n: i may include eremite reader x nilou in other short and compilations but this is the end of the story! I hoped you all enjoyed!

“Letter for Nilou! Letter for Nilou!” A voice sounded as Nilou raised her head into the direction. A man handed her a letter as she curiously took it.

“Who’s it from?” She asked curiously.

“Just some Eremite.” He said uninterested.

She ignored him choosing to read it right then and there.

“This sandstorm is horrible! We won’t be able to make it back for days at this pace!” Clearwater complained. The wind blowed like crazy, one of your clients covered their eyes as you held their hand to guide them. You knew this was dangerous. But your matriarch didn’t falter or order to stop.

“Keep pressing forward! We can’t get stuck in this part of the desert!” She ordered, covering her mouth to stop sand from flying in. You fell to the ground, exhausted. Clearwater noticed your groan as you struggled to get back up. The client in question clutching your leg.

“I knew I should’ve made that dreaded bastard wait! Oh god we’ll never make it alive!” He wined. “My wife! Oh god my wife! Let her know how much I love her!” His cries stood out to you. You found the strength to get up, picking him up with you in a bridal style.

“We’ll make it sir. Wether we persevere or retreat.” You said to him. You thought of Nilou, you couldn’t give up now. You would make this journey. In your mind you felt a rush of determination as you hauled the grown man through the desert.

“There’s a wall ahead! Quick make camp there! It’ll provide cover!” Your matriarch pointed, you spotted it. You knew in your heart this would be your last expedition, so you rushed over to where she pointed.

“They… liked me too…” Nilou shook with excitement as she finished the letter. She beamed as she immediately chased the delivery boy down. “Wait wait!” He turned confused. “I WANT TO SEND ONE BACK I WANT TO SEND ONE BACK TO THEM!”

“Sorry miss, they said they’d be gone for a few weeks at least, they had a big journey all the way across the desert to Fontaine.” He said. “At least that’s what they told me.” Her heart sank. A million worries flooded her mind.

“Oh.. okay then.. you can go then.” She immediately felt frantic, anxious, fearful. Didn’t Dehya say that this time of the year was when sandstorms were most frequent? Oh no.. she knew there was nothing she could do but wait.

“You really pulled through there.” Your matriarch complimented you. You nodded.

“I uh.. really didn’t want to get stuck out here.” You said. The wind howled but it was less loud now. Your clients seemed grateful to be alive. But you heard something in the distance. Your tribe did. You saw Clear water drag her blades closers, mounting them to her hands, the sumpter beasts seemed more nervous. You swung your claymore, ready for the worst.

“I’m just so worried! Dehya you’re a eremite right?! How dangerous is it this time of month!” Nilou asked. Dehya looked at her confused and concerned.

“Well they should be able to handle it. But i won’t lie to you Nilou, it can be a deadly job. That’s why I’m not going out for awhile actually. I’m surprised they’d set off at this time, must’ve been a big wage to motivate anyone to cross the desert at this time. But don’t worry, once they reach the last stretch they’ll be safe as can be.” She said. Nilou fidgeted with her hands, obviously not convinced. “Look Nilou I’m sure they can handle it. Just relax.”

“Holy fucking shit!” You watched as the tail of a wenut popped up from the ground, breaking up rock and sending some poor creature flying. “Oh god we really are going to die!” Your client whined. Your matriarch was pondering heavily. You knew the wenut would make its way to your camp, there was no time to safely get everyone across. You looked at Clear Water who tried to keep the sumpter beasts from running and drawing more attention. You took a deep breath and darted out.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET BACK!” Clear water shouted. You ran and ran, you felt the ground rumble as it pursued. You kept a fast pace as the others watched fearfully. You jumped right before the tail would peak out, dodging its attack successfully. You immediately scrambled as it sunk back down, running around to keep it away from the camp. Your tribe watched in awe. In your head you prayed, to gods dead and alive ‘if i live through this expedition I’ll retire completely’ you dodged another attack, this time swinging your claymore at its tail causing it to sink quickly back down. You ran around, sand getting in your lungs, your muscles on fire. This wasn’t what you wanted in life but you knew you had to get back home, to the only place that truly felt like home, to your new friends, a peaceful life, and more importantly Nilou. That determination was all you needed as you raised your claymore plunging it into the god forsaken tail causing a shriek as it dived back down, blood stained the sand as you climbed up a small cliffside, watching the ground. You waited until the sounds of rumbling died down, and then a little longer. You cautiously stepped foot on the sand, making sure to slowly make your way back. Your tribe stood their in awe.

“You actually did it. You’re alive!” Clearwater hugged you suddenly, the others quickly pulling you into the safety of the tents.

“I am. I’m alive.” You knew what to do then. Your mind had been made. Wether or not Nilou accepted your feelings you were going to change your life.

“Actually Nilou does have reason to worry, now is breeding season for the Wenuts, they can be more active than ever at this time period.” Faruzan clarified.

“That’s not helping.” Dehya groaned.

“Well what I mean is that they’re more focused on other matters than hunting!” She added.

“B- but there’s that chance.. oh dear.. oh dear lord Kusanali please keep them safe.” Nilou prayed, surrounded by friends.

“The storms down! We can move again!” Another member pointed out. Your matriarch contemplated before giving the signal. Immediately all tents were packed and stuff readied as you prepared to leave once more. You recognize the area now. You were farther along than you had thought. You might be able to get home quickly at this rate.

“Oh thank lord Kusanali! I’m ALIVE!” Your client exclaimed. You smiled as you spotted a nice thick scorpion.

“Scorpion ahead, I’ll deal with it!” You said smiling as you rushed ahead to kill it. Dinner would be good tonight.

Nilou sat amongst her friends, food a plenty as they fussed over what way to comfort her. She felt a strange feeling of serenity, like a high pitched voice telling her all was well and everything would be okay. She smiled eating more pudding. She smiled seeing how much her friends cared about her. Now she was thinking of when would be the best time to go to the Ribat to meet them.

Night fell and your tribe had made surprising progress. You could see the giant tree in the distance, supposedly the transformed remains of either the goddess of flowers or Egeria. You didn’t know which one but you heard of their tales. Normally you would be forced to go another way but thanks to some ‘traveler’ things were different. Which is good because that area had a large and plentiful oasis you could freshen up at. Maybe you could find something to bring back for Nilou. You felt hopeful and excited for once.

“You know it might be unnecessary to wait the whole two weeks here?” Dehya said. Nilou had decided to stay at the Ribat just incase they came back early.

“I know but I can’t risk not meeting them on time! What if I come too late and they’re already back out again! I can’t miss my opportunity no matter what. Thank you for coming with though.” Nilou said.

“No problem, but you owe me.” She said.

You stood by waiting to talk to your matriarch. A smile on your face as she collected the payment, observing it was as promised and letting the clients leave on a boat for Fontaine.

“You’re leaving once we get back aren’t you.” She said. You nodded.

“Well.. its just.. I’ve found someone.. and I can’t bare to live without them. I need to know if they like me back. But also I’ve found I prefer the life in the city more and well um..”

“Its fine. When we return to the Ribat will be your final day. You’ve done good. I’m very impressed with you. I can see how that woman has changed you, I don’t wish to keep you here where you have been miserable.”

“Mi-miserable. I wouldnt say-“

“I could tell. You became a eremite because you were made to believe that’s all you could ever be. This job isn’t worth dying for unless you really love it, so if you’ve found better employment and opportunities then I won’t hold you back.” She said. You smiled.

“I-.. thank you.” You bowed. You felt the urge to hug her. Although you two weren’t close sure, it meant alot to see she supported your decision.

Nilou stared at the open desert, her heart fluttering everytime she saw another eremite come in, her heart however sank upon realizing it wasn’t you. Dehya sat by, leaning against a stone wall.

“I want to go find them.” She said breaking the silence. Dehya was appalled.

“Now? Nilou you have never traversed the desert! We don’t know where they could be right now. If anything it’s better to wait here where we know they’ll return.” Dehya said. Nilou seemed torn. Logic and emotion were conflicting.

“I’m worried though. So worried.” She pouted. “Maybe just.. to get a bit closer.”

“You’re willing to go out into the desert at this time of year despite having no experience and no real plan all for a crush?” Dehya asked, desperately trying to knock some sense into her.

“Well they said they liked me back in that letter you know. I can’t wait any longer. I miss them so dearly, I need to see them again!” Nilou looked off into the distance. There was a group moving closer, with sumpter beasts, but there was no way to confirm it was them or their group. At this point however she grew tired of getting her hopes up. The group seemed to set up camp and stop moving. She sighed. It must not be them if they weren’t heading back quickly.

“Lets go wait at the Rivat. I’m sure they wouldn’t like it for you to risk your life now of all times.” Dehya said. That seemed to convince her.

“Alright. But we should get up super early tomorrow! That way we won’t miss them!” Nilou spoke, her mind had been made clearly

“That’s all we’ve been doing but okay.” Dehya sighed.

“We’re going to miss you chef!” Your fellow eremites hugged you in a massive pile. You smiled.

“Promise you’ll visit us in the Rivat! Oh and leave behind a recipe or two! I’ll miss your cooking!” Clear water said.

“I know I know. I promise I’ll leave you guys with my recipes.” You chuckled. The fire was lit as they dispersed, all looking to find stuff for you to cook with. You took out the scorpion meat that had been marinaded in bird fat and lots of salt to keep it from rotting. Putting it into the pot released a wonderful smell as you added more spices. Your matriach sat behind you getting out some good ol booze to celebrate your retirement from this life.

“If you get married I expect a invite.” She said pouring you a cup. You smiled.

“Absolutely. Might even make you my maid of honor/best man.” You said, the usual tension or nervousness you felt around her had faced. You felt more confident, a-shame that it meant now you had actually started to build bonds with them, meaning you would miss them more once they left without you. But you felt excitement for your new life ahead.

“I’m honored, although I doubt id be any good at wedding planning. I’m better at navigating deserts but not with decorations.” She joked. You chuckled, the thought of this tough and burly woman you had seen snap a man’s neck, launch a snake into the atmosphere with a kick, and wrangle a consecrated beast with little injuries, fussing over the table cloth not matching the curtains was a funny image.

“What do you think you’ll do when you get too old? You going to keep doing this till you kick the bucket or?”

“I’ll retire, just like your folks. I’ll become the village grandmother with a plethora of stories and such to tell.” She poured you another glass. You took it eagerly.

“You certainly would have earned it. I’m going to miss seeing you”. You flipped the scorpion meat, adding more seasonings. She smiled.

“Just don’t go dancing with Wenuts again, I’d call you stupid but I wonder if you got that from me.” She chuckled. “That was a stupid but brilliant move. I’m glad you’re alive but never do that again okay?”

You nodded. “Course not. I’ll just play chicken with the tigers for my thrills now.” You joked. She laughed.

The day came. Your tribe walked, hungover and tired from the journey, the destination being the Rivat. You could see the gates in sight. The sun glaring above, searing you one last time. As you made your way through the gates you turned to them one last time.

“We’ve already said our goodbyes now. Don’t waste anymore time or you might get stuck in a rainstorm on the way to the city.” Clearwater said. You smiled.

“I know. Its just a little.. scary I guess.” You took off your mask, you would be keeping it, this time for you to keep.

“You played chicken with a wenut and you’re scared of this?” Your fellow eremites chuckled. In reality you were preparing yourself for rejection or acceptance, rejection was what was on your mind the most. You stepped forward and immediately heard your name coming from afar. You looked to see Nilou running straight to you, the look in her eyes,her movements were your confirmation. You couldn’t help but race to her as well.

“you’re BACK! You’re back!” She exclaimed, embracing you with a strength you would expect from the tail of a scorpion, not a small dainty dancer, but you had come to know her well.

“I am.. i am.. you can relax now you know.. um.. so.. you got my letter right?” You said, she nodded.

“I did, I wish you hadn’t just left! I was so worried for you! I took a few weeks off just to wait for you!” She said. You felt a bit shocked. Weeks? It had been approximately a three week journey to and back, she really waited?

“You did. But that doesn’t really answer my question-“

“Of course I like you back!” She said pulling you into another hug, tighter than ever. You hugged her back feeling relief. “It’ll be hard to work out given your circumstances and job but I’m sure we could make it work.”

“I actually quit. I realized I preferred the city life to the life of a mercenary.” You explained. “One of your friends mentioned that the theatre is hiring and I figured I’d get a job there.” Saying that out loud you felt silly.

“Of course! Oh god even the manager has been missing you! I-i.. i just.. I’m so happy you’re here now. I worried so much about you. I was so worried that you would die or get lost or something out there.” She said. You figured your dance with the wenut should go unmentioned then.

“I missed you too…” after sometime you two pulled away as you contemplated what to say next. “So.. are we dating now? Exclusive, going steady?”

“Yeah i guess that’s what happens next. Why don’t we spend the rest of the day here so you can spend some last few mintues with your tribe. It can’t be easy just leaving them behind.” She said sympathetically. You looked back and smiled.

“Its not no. But we have already had a little going away party.”

“Oh i know! I’ll give them tickets to my next performance!” She said excitedly. You felt a bit excited at that idea.

“I mean… we could ask if they’d like to come? No guarantees though.” You said. Hand in hand you two walked over to your now former tribe.

Years had passed since you and Nilou met that fateful day in the desert, 5 to be exact. You had been hired by the Theatre to work behind the scenes, but you also grew your culinary skills more and more, making more friends. Your tribe would sometimes visit the city just to see the performances and catch up with you. Life was good, it was perfect, you wanted it to last forever. Which is why you bought that ring. Having saved up money by taking a second job temporarily, you bought a beautiful diamond ring, shaped like a lotus. You had held onto it for a few weeks now. Struggling to find the moment, the right time to use it.

It had been on a trip to visit your parents in Aaru village, your parents ended up adoring her, surprised by your career change but not as disappointed as you had worried. You took Nilou to a nearby Oasis that had formed nearby. You had previously scoured the environment and cleared any encampments of hilicurls and those floaty mushrooms. She looked in awe.

“This spot is so.. beautiful! I can’t believe these spots just appear!” Nilou smiled excitedly, she observed the water before stepping in it cautiously, then seeing nothing stirred she cupped it in her hands, pouring it on herself to relieve the heat. You stood behind her anxiously trying to find the words. “Oh, my love! Look!” She pulled out a small box you hadn’t spotted in the sand before, a ring box. You certainly would’ve spotted it, was this a popular spot to propose?

“Oh did someone lose their ring?” You asked distracted. She opened it, you saw the ruby and were reminded of your eremite mask, the detailing was similar as well.

“Well.. i uh.. didn’t really plan a response to that.. no actually I got this for you.” She smiled nervously, getting on one knee. You gasped. Hurriedly getting out your ring box. She was confused at first until she noticed the box you held.

“I can’t believe you beat me to it, but I’m glad you did.” You smiled as she got up to look closer, you watched her swell with joy.

“You.. you got me a ring? I love you so much.” She closed the distance between you two with a passionate kiss. In the light of the sunset you two exchanged the rings and danced in the remaining light. This time hand in hand, never to part again.

The end

Dates With Your Partner

Characters Include: Venti, Diluc, Candace, Nilou Genre: Romantic Fluff A/N: Please forgive me if any of these chapters seem unnatural to read, I hope to get better at writing Genshin characters! Notes: GN! Reader, You/Yours are the pronouns used, reader is addressed to as MC (Because I’m used to it) Introduction: Whether it be unwinding after a long hard day at work, taking your partner out somewhere, or just being with them; it's nice to have a date once and a while. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Venti

It's not hard to find Venti around Mondstadt, at least for you but maybe that’s just the perk of dating him. It's pleasantly easy to set up dates, such as the one you two have set up at Windrise underneath its giant oak tree. You bought a picnic basket of foods, which Venti did help prepare, and a picnic blanket to lay on. Venti brought some wine, which you knew he was probably going to drink all of.

“Hm.. I feel like something is missing..” Venti hums, stroking his chin.

“Huh? What would that be?”

Venti thinks for another moment or two before smiling and summoning his lyre to play.

“A date such as this wouldn’t be complete without a ballad~”

Ah.. Classic Venti. He always ends up singing a ballad for you one way or another, but you don’t mind. His music is relaxing and really helps the mood of dates such as these.

Diluc

Dates with Diluc usually take a bit of preparing, so it was a pleasant surprise when at 3 pm you got a letter from his bird companion, inviting you to the manor at 4 pm for a date. You couldn’t pass up the opportunity so you send a response back with the bird and go to get ready.

You knock on the door at the manor and Adelinde, who greets you with a warm smile.

“Good afternoon. Please, come in.”

You thank the head maid and enter. You are greeted with Diluc, who isn’t in his work clothes, but instead something more fancier.

“You look nice.” He says with a collected tone, but still one filled with admiration.

You couldn’t help but smile at this usually stoic boyfriend as he holds out his arm for you to grab onto so he can lead you to the table.

Candace

Dates with Candace can be either carefully planned out or spontaneous.

Usually the dates you go on help her to visit the city more, or sometimes you just stay in the desert somewhere suitable for a date, as much as it could be at least. It’s a coinflip really.

On this day, you two decided to take a walk during the time of day where it’s usually less busy for Candace. It’s a simple way to spend time with each other.

You two stop at Caravan Ribat, which wasn’t particularly busy. Candace’s eyes caught a particularly well woven tapestry at one of the stalls. You follow her line of sight and gape a little bit at the textile.

“Wait here!” You tell her, and you were off before she could stop you.

A minute later, you come back to Candace with the tapestry rolled up. You give it to her with a smile, and she couldn’t help but give a gentle smile while taking it.

“You didn’t have to, MC”

“I wanted to!”

“Well, thank you. Why don’t we go back to the village? I can cook us something!”

“Okay!!”

Nilou

You often come to show Nilou support whenever she dances. After her dance routine, you always cheer and clap the loudest. It makes Nilou happy whenever you do so, even if she has to remind you to quiet down on occasion so as to not disturb the other people. After a particularly tiring dance routine, she comes off of the stage and sees you with two cups of padisarah pudding for the two of you. "You did an amazing job with that dance!" You compliment, giving Nilou her cup of pudding, which she happily takes. "Thanks MC!" You two sat at a bench and simply enjoyed the pudding together, laughing and talking as the Grand Bazaar stays lively as ever.

[yan-san-yan]

Three small encounters marked where their stories began.

A dancer and a drifter, an unlikely pair.

A nostalgic reflection on their shared journey, Nilou traces the evolution of her friendship with Wanderer from their first chance encounter in the Grand Bazaar. Tag along for the journey as she slowly reveals layers of complexity, unraveling the secrets of the once enigmatic stranger.

Perhaps there is a reason why they say "opposites attract".
