#pdb gushes: itto!

[taecnoal]

Itto loves to show you how strong he is! He'll pick you up and spin you in circles, boasting that he'll never grow tired of holding you! He'll carry you in his arms, on his shoulders, loudly laughing the whole time.

He will carry your groceries, move furniture without being asked twice! He will also occasionally accidentally break a glass or crack an egg too hard and drop the eggshells in. His embarrassed blush is too cute not to get mad at.

[taecnoal]

Diluc smells like cinnamon and smoke. He feels like sitting uncomfortably close to a fireplace. He sounds like the rumble of thunder when the sun is blacked out by clouds. He tastes like spices.

Itto smells like the grass and mud, and salt. He feels like a weight, comfortably heavy on your chest. He sounds like the incessant ringing of bells or chatter of animals. He tastes like sunshine.

Sara smells deep and like sweet fruits. She feels like lightning, just before it strikes. She sounds like strong ropes holding you in place. She tastes like fruit juice.

Xiao smells like whatever the wind brings along with it. He feels cool and heavy at the same time. He sounds like the patter of rain against your window. He tastes like the cool water of snows and streams.

Kazuha smells like steel and ink. He feels soft, like cotton, and light, like feathers. He sounds like old lullabies and the rustle of leaves when the wind rustles them. He tastes like spring, with a tinge of alcohol.

IDK WHAT TO TITLE THIS

TAGS: @chickynn @caniscreamintoanabyss @sikrea

WARNINGS: None, Skinship (i think), Possibly Suggestive but I Don't See It That Way

WORD COUNT: I have No Idea

Anais had a thing for stomachs.

Diluc realized that it sounded weird now that he thought about it, but he didn't really know any other way to put it.

On days when Anais was feeling especially tired or touchy, he would settle himself between Diluc's legs, laying his head on his abdomen. It started normally, with Anais softly running his hands up Diluc's shirt and sides, and it tickled. Anais would trace over his curves and his muscles, pinching softly and stroking the skin as if in apology.

The next thing he knew, his shirt would be pulled up to his chest, face as red as his hair. Anais would press his lips all over Diluc's stomach, a smile gracing his lips. He would hold his hips gently, kissing his abdomen and sides and the hair that resided there. He would press his face into Diluc's stomach until his nose was flat against his skin. Anais would laugh whenever he hit a ticklish spot and Diluc would flinch away.

Diluc noticed it wasn't just him, either.

When he would see Kaeya around Mondstadt, he'd pull him into a hug, before digging his fingers into his sides and stomach, tickling him. (Diluc hadn't seen Kaeya laugh like that in a long time).

Or when he saw Lynn, he'd hug her from behind, lovingly laying his hands over her stomach while he rested on her shoulder. His hands would move to her sides, before moving back up to her stomach.

When he saw Qiqi at Bubu Pharmacy, he'd lay her down somewhere, before leaning down and blowing raspberries into her stomach, poking and pinching at her sides. Even the zombie child couldn't help but laugh, and Diluc didn't miss when Baizhu said this was the most joy Qiqi had expressed in a while.

Even Baizhu wasn't safe from it, it seemed. After he would greet Anais with a hug, he'd have to step away before Anais could poke him, laughing and gently swatting his hands away. Sometimes it ended with a small chase around the pharmacy, seeing as Baizhu tired easily.

Even himself, Diluc noticed. He would stand in the mirror and pinch at his stomach, or rhythmically pat it when he laid in bed.

Diluc thought it was sweet. And nice. For him to admire a body part that too many people saw in a negative light, a body part people needed to be absolutely perfect before they even thought about showing it love.

BONUSES:

Itto loved his stomach too! He was glad Anais loved it as much as he did - the best days were days when Anais would come home and nap on his tummy, laying his face on top and smiling with contentment. The kisses and pinches and grabs were nice too, so much so that Itto found himself reciprocating the action.

Sara's face would burn whenever Anais asked to lay on her stomach, or whenever he complimented it. She always protested that it might be uncomfortable, that it was such an odd compliment. But he seemed so genuine, and he seemed so comfortable when he laid on top of her abdomen. The kisses tickled though, and by then, she had to push him off.

Childe hated telling people this, but he was terribly ticklish. So when Anais ghosted his fingers over his stomach from where it showed through his outfit, and he squealed like a girl, he swore him to fucking secrecy. Occasionally Anais would catch him off guard, poking his side or his stomach, coaxing a yelp out of him. He didn't have much of a problem with it, he just wished Anais would stop doing it in front of his subordinates.

P.S.: Scaramouche doesn't let him get close enough to his stomach to touch. One day, though.

Anais lore when 🔫

HI SYKE!

OOOOOOOOOO i could like, kiss u rn i think. as a friend but. kiss u nonetheless. pardon my jumbled thoughts ive been trying to write his lore for 3 days straight so im just. putting down wht comes to mind.

CW: child abandonment/neglect (just in case)

Anais was born in Liyue (One Parent was from Natlan and the Other from Liyue). But he didn't really have a home? His parents just kind of wandered around with him in tow.

They didn't really care much for him either.

So surprise surprise! He was abandoned when he was five during one of Liyue's harshest winters. They didn't leave him with much, just some herbs.

(In my selfship AU he is rescued from freezing to death by the Adeptus Lynn (@chickynn) and dropped off at Bubu pharmacy.)

Baizhu nearly straight up fainted. he was way younger and sicker here, so he didn't really know if he would b able to properly care for a child.

Tbh he considered giving anais to someone else but Gui scolded him for it. So while he originally kept anais out of obligation, that quickly faded.

He would help out around the pharmacy or even help take care of Baizhu when he really needed it. Also came out around like 12. (he didn't want to alter his body, just wanted everyone to stop calling him a girl!!!)

Around this time also, Baizhu and Anais found Qiqi while herb picking - from then on he was a big brother <3 (Baizhu did not see himself taking care of two children but they both grew on him n he's v proud of them)

Anais started getting jealous around age 14-15 becaus Baizhu and Qiqi had such pretty visions! He would hold them in his hands sometimes and dreamed about having a vision of his own.

Not much later, while he was herb picking with Qiqi a mitachurl attacked them - he was granted an anemo vision while protecting his little sister :D

The way they both raced home to show Baizhu, who beamed at him with pride and told him to take care of it.

(Elsewhere, the Adeptus Lynn is also smiling proudly! The boy she saved all those years ago was growing up so fast!)

Around his later teen years (17-18) anais wanted to start adventuring but baizhu forbade it. and he would've rebelled too, if baizhu didn't faint so easily.

once he hit abt 19/20 baizhu realized he couldn't keep him there forever! he gifted him a shiny, new, expensive looking catalyst for his birthday (though anais is skilled with all weapons, he prefers catalysts).

anais started adventuring not soon after that. he'd never been out of liyue harbor except to go herb picking, and even after that he couldn't really take in much scenery, since baizhu wanted him home before dark.

It took him a while to explore the entirety of liyue until he was satisfied. after that he moved on to mondstadt, the neighboring country.

(he reunited with Lynn here, who was returning from Inazuma)

Anais didn't really have a job while he stayed in mond. he didn't know if he was planning to stay or not, so he went around doing odd jobs for money.

ONE FATEFUL DAY he decides to hang at the esteemed Angel's Share. He seems to catch the attention of the red-haired bartender when he orders a nonalcoholic drink *wink wink*

He does get attached to Diluc and eventually goes back often to see him. which results in diluc working more shifts bc he also wants to see anais.

He also befriends kaeya during this time, since his teasing was relentless when it came to the two of them.

(diluc is actually blackmailed into confessing his feelings. "give me a free drink or i tell him how you feel" - lynn)

anais decided to stay in mond when he and diluc got together, joining mond's adventurers guild

(went back to liyue to tell baizhu he planned on staying. and that he also caught the eye of one of teyvats richest and most eligible bachelors. baizhu fainted.)

!! anais goes to liyue w/the traveler to act as a guide of sorts. befriends childe while he's there. beats his ass after he nearly drowns the harbor.

OTHER AUS TO CONSIDER!!

Harbinger!Anais AU

In this au he became a harbinger instead of going to mond.

one of the youngest harbingers alongside childe.

is best friends with childe and rivals with dottore + scara.

(dottore actually denied him harbinger status for a hot minute. would give him weird liquids and tell him to drink. anais does not trust him)

absolutely adores the tsaritsa. between him and childe it almost seems like a competition as to who can better gain her favor.

he uses a pyro delusion + sword, as well as his anemo vision + catalyst.

if he does get with diluc in this au its a double edged sword (?). they both only got with the other for information, but actually fell in love along the way. oops?

In Which He's With Itto + Sara, Not Diluc

he still ventures to mond in this au, but doesn't get with diluc.

he visits inazuma when lynn returns. as company :D

walks into itto, looks up, and quite literally faints. (emotions too strong maybe? exhausting trip? who would look at that hunk of a man and NOT faint???)

anyways thats how he met itto :D started hanging around him and his gang more, since itto was hellbent on making sure he didn't faint in public again.

met sara during one of her and itto's rematches. he actually stepped in to fight in itto's place because he was being careless. sara commended the way he fought which made him grow red in the face.

he showed up to every rematch after that.
