pairing: kazuha x gn!reader

genre: modern au ; fluff

Your watch keeps ticking and your legs can’t stop shaking. three hours. Three hours since you arrived at the destination of where your meeting with this mystery person takes place. So far, you have no luck. Your date hasn’t shown up at all, and hope is slipping away from your grasp.

Closing time is nigh; the workers at the restaurant send pitiful messages your way through their expressions, reminding you that the manager is going to kick everyone out soon. Every time you tell them that your date is coming whenever waiters pass by you, the urge of curling into a ball and sobbing your heart out increases. It’s embarrassing that your date has the audacity to stand you up, leaving you confused and alone for three freaking hours.

Just as you are about to give up and go home, a familiar face squeezes your shoulder and sits diagonally from you, his eyes forming into crescents as his lips curl upward. It’s the assistant manager, Kazuha. Time for you to go.

“Hold on, I’m not kicking you out just yet,” he chuckles, running a hand through his silver hair. An urge to apologize swells inside your throat, and you want to hurl it out. however, he gently places a finger on your lips, as if he just read your mind. “Give me five minutes to change, yeah?”

He disappears into the staff room for more or less five minutes to change into his casual attire. When he comes back, his smile carves on his face once again, making your whole body melt.

“Hi, again,” he says with a small wave. “I convinced the manager to make you an exception, so we can stay here as long as you want. Do you mind if I ask you how your day is?”

“My day would have been great if my date didn’t stand me up.” you laugh rather humorlessly, which causes Kazuha’s lighthearted expression to falter. “I’ve been waiting here for three hours, but things happen, I guess. So how about you, assistant manager? How has your day been so far, hm?”

“Very tiring, actually,” he yawns against his palm, throwing his head back. “Preparing shift schedules, calculating kitchenware and equipment with my minimal math skills, maintaining the satisfaction of our guests; you know, the usual assistant manager stuff. I got promoted last year, surprisingly, so I’m still learning how to get by, but I’m enjoying it so far.”

Your ears perk up at the forgotten ticking of your watch. It’s getting late; the bus is going to be here any minute now. “As much as I would love to keep the conversation going, I have to catch the bus. Thank you so much for keeping me company, Kazuha. Have a good night.” You give him a chaste goodbye before hurrying towards the exit. Your heart wails for the handsome young man; this is probably the first and last time you’ll see him. What a shame, really.

“This isn’t fair.” Kazuha looms in front of you before you know it, blocking the exit. “Three hours. That’s how long you have been stood up, right?”

The room went silent. Your mouth is unable to move, as if it has been sealed shut with glue. Your gaze bores into his, prompting him to step aside from the exit.

“Alright, screw the bus.” He holds up three fingers, representing the hours you have spent inside the restaurant. “That’s how much time we are going to spend together. That’s the amount of time you could have enjoyed with your date, and the amount of time wasted waiting for that stupid date of yours.”

First Post

Hi I guess I'm just going to dump all of my Oc ideas here. I may do x reader in the future but I have no idea.

Distasteful Thoughts

This is just a tiny drabble I just had the idea today.

Warnings: Yandere thoughts, mention of kidnapping (nothing ever happens like that), OOC character?

Genre: None in particular

Notes: I may come back to edit this. Feedback is appreciated!

Xiao held nothing but the deepest of love for you, but that love could always manifest into something darker...

Xiao was happy. He knew it.

He knew why. Ever since you had come into his life, he had felt... lighter. An odd feeling, an unwelcome one, he would have said before. But now, this feeling was pleasant.

You, who was carefree, coming up to the balcony without a second thought even though he knew you were aware of who resided there. You, who was so kind, bringing joy to everyone around you, no matter how stubborn they were. You, who was too heroic, roaming into the land of the Adepti without a second thought to help someone you didn't know, not under a contract nonetheless. You were all things he was not, yet...

He felt better when you came to visit him, laughing and smiling with delight. It was like how those mortals thrived off the sun, basking in it's overpowering heat. He felt... energized when you held his hand, bending down to kiss his knuckles, all the while looking up at him and smiling that irritating yet endearing smile of yours. He felt refreshed when you held him so close, silence shrouding the two of you. He felt comfort when you were there for him through his karmic debt, whispering quietly while he felt the weight of his sins crushing him, bit by bit.

But now, more than ever, he wanted you. He needed you. He needed that familiar comfort around him. He needed to feel your gentle touches stroke his skin. He needed those moments of bliss. He needed your kindness covering him like a veil. He needed to keep you safe from anyone who would dare to try cause you harm. He needed to have you so you could be his sun and nobody else's. HE NEEDED-

No.

He wanted.

He wanted all of those things.

He was being so selfish, so greedy, for thinking this way. And besides-

You would've been unhappy.

He doesn't want that. So he leaves those distasteful thoughts behind, where they should be.

Underneath The Moonlight

This is somewhat of a sequel to Waiting, but it doesn't have to be read first.

The familiar chatter of Liyue Harbour. The midday sun relentlessly shining down on the people. The boats sailing to and from the port.

Yet the one you were looking for was not there.

Pacing the wooden docks, your worries slowly grew.

He said he would be here last week… You thought to yourself. What is something bad happened along the way?! Maybe they got caught up in a storm… or maybe some bad pirates attacked them?

You jumped as you felt a tap on your shoulder. You quickly spun around hoping that it was him… but it was just someone asking if you were okay. The look of disappointment must have been evident on your face as they chuckled,

“Waiting for someone?”

“Oh, s-sorry. Yes, I am.”

“Well, I hope they come soon. I’ll see you around!”

“Y-yes, you too.”

They waved goodbye to you. You sighed, resuming your lookout for The Crux.

It had been quite a few hours since you left the port, and you were almost ready to go home. After you had turned in your commissions, you decided to go to the small mountain east of Liyue Harbour for a while.

You could see the faint moon beginning to rise from where you sat, past sunset, but not quite night just yet. The wind blew through your hair, and the grass rustled beneath you. You leaned your back onto the ground and closed your eyes. You lay there for a few minutes until worries began to creep into your mind.

Where is he? You thought anxiously. Maybe… he’s just avoiding me. Maybe he just doesn’t want to see me. Yeah, that’s probably it. I should go home now, it’s getting late.

You brought your head up, only for it to collide into something hard. You winced at the sudden pain. Ow, You thought, bringing your hands up to your head. Just what were they doing?

The other person laughed, “Well, I didn’t expect that.”

Wait.

That voice…

Kazuha!?

“Wha…”, You gasped, “Kazuha!”

“Yeah, I’m back- hey! What are yo-?!”

His words got abruptly cut off you tackling him into a hug.

“I missed you! Where have you been!” You spilled out suddenly.

He chuckled and hugged you back, “Sorry, there was bad weather, so we couldn’t head out to sea. I’m sorry if I made you worry.”

You sighed, “It’s fine. Just don’t do that again. You promised you would come back soon, remember?”

“Well, I didn’t exactly promise, did I?”

You merely hummed, your hold on him tighter than before. It was just a slip of the tongue, but…
