LMAO Baizhu Does Not Want To Associate With His Brother

Introducing Ivy to Nina

Freckle meets Ruby (Ivy's dad)

Tw: None :>

Freckle's tail twitched with anxiety as he stood outside his home. He had smoothed out his fur, and worn his mother's favorite suit jacket. It took all of his energy to flatten his bristling fur, in the corner of his eye he could see his silver furred cousin Rocky from the bushes. The cat offered him one of his signature manic grins of support. Now don't get him wrong. He loved his mother... but he was also mortified that she would be unapproved of his girlfriend. Ivy. Ivy stood tall next to him, her beautiful gray fur glowing silver in the moonlight. She wore a loose pastel green layered dress that went down to below her knees, with a matching green cloche hat. Her long thin wiry tail intertwined with his soothingly, as she fixed her hair. 

"Honey, are you alright?" Her sweet voice cutting through his worrisome thoughts. "You know I can always meet your mother some other time right?" Her piercing yellow stare looking into his eyes. "If your worried-"

"N-No." Freckle shook his head, his ear twitching. "I can do this. It's okay." Swallowing a lump in his throat he knocked on the door. The few seconds waiting for his mother to open the door felt like crawling through hell itself. As each second ticked by he could feel his skin prickle and fur bristle, fear clawing its way up his neck. 

"Calvin?" His mother opened the door, her hair tied back into a tight bun as she smoothened out her skirt. Her small ginger stature sent shivers up his spine. "Who's that you got with you?" She narrowed her eyes, fixing her glasses as she looked Ivy up and down. "You better not be getting hanky panky with her Calvin." (I don't know 1920's slang :'<) Nina's tail swished. 

"What? No Mother." Freckle shook his head, "I- I uh... I'm courting her? Yeah... I wanted you to meet her Mother." He fiddled with his paws, his anxiety eating him alive as his mother inspected Ivy. Earlier both he and Rocky had briefed Ivy on how to act and talk around his mother. Well actually Freckle did most of the briefing while Rocky screamed poetry about how to avoid angering "the wrath and fury that is the woman of ginger fur and short stature." Whatever that meant. 

"What's your name?" Nina asked as she finally let the couple inside. Her brilliant yellow eyes analyzed Ivy and her son as they walked in. Nina had to admit, the girl seemed like a sweet one. Large yellow eyes and soft gray fur, the young cat held herself up with an air of upper class, her thin and wiry body graceful and stunning.

"My name is Ivy. Ivy Pepper. Mrs. McMurray." Ivy smiled as she stepped inside, holding her purse in her hand as she smiled. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Ma'am."

"Hmph." Nina frowned. "Would you like some tea Ms. Pepper?" Nina asked as she poured three cups of tea. 

"Yes Ma'am." Ivy smiled, sitting down next to Freckle. 

"How did you meet my son Ivy?" Nina asked as she sipped her tea. Her eyes were cold as she analyzed every one of Ivy's moves as if to find a single blunder. 

"W-We met at a cafe." Freckle offered, twisting their meeting into a less… scandalous version of events. 

"Did she start courting you?" Nina asked wryly, her tail lashing. 

"N-No." Freckle shook his head. "I approached her first..." That was a blatant lie, but alas if they wanted this to work they had to. "She was... uh... drinking tea... and she looked like a nice young woman so I asked to speak to her for a bit." 

"Hmph." Nina narrowed her eyes. "I suppose you do seem like a nice young lady Ms.Pepper." Nina closed her eyes as she sipped her tea. “What does your family do for work?” (I dont actually know what he works as so I’ll just pretend he's also a mine owner)

“My father owns a quarry, a little out of Kansas City, currently I’m going to college.” Ivy prattled off, her happy chipper voice polite as usual. “Anything else Ma’am?”

“I suppose. I shall consider this arrangement then.” Nina hummed, “Now Ms. Pepper, if you could wait outside for a moment I must discuss it with my son.” 

“Yes Ma’am.” Ivy smiled, her heels clacking against the floor as she left the room. Freckle almost cried at the sight of Ivy’s slender tail vanishing behind the door, leaving him to answer his mother’s questions.  

“So what do you think, Mother?” Freckle asked as he wrung his tail in his paws. Worried thoughts ran through his head; What if Ivy was too straightforward? What if her manners were off? What if his mother didn't like her? However his worried thoughts were interrupted by his mother’s booming voice. 

“Stop messing with your tail Calvin. You'll ruin your fur.” Nina finished sipping her tea. “I suppose the girl is soft spoken. A good woman for you Calvin.” Nina folded her hands in her lap. 

“You like her?” Freckle’s ears pricked in excitement. 

“Now wait there Calvin.” Nina raised a paw, “I do quite like this young lady, however I do not know if she is the right fit for you.” Upon the sight of Freckles' dejectedness, Nina rubbed her temple. “However, I will give her time, Calvin.” She looked at her son. “And if she proves to be fit, I give you my blessing.” It took all of Freckles' self control to not jump for joy. 

“Thank you Mother.” Freckle beamed, his tail swishing side to side in excitement. 

“Yes. Yes Calvin.” Nina waved a hand, “Have you met her papa yet?”

“Errrrr… yep. He’s a little busy but I managed to speak with him over the phone.” Freckle lied with a smile, praying to the heavens that his mother wouldn't catch that lie.  

“Good. Remember no hanky panky until after marriage.” Nina waved a finger at her son. “Understood? I want no such godless behavior under my roof.”

“Yes Mother.” Freckle smiled, scurrying out of the room, practically quivering with excitement to tell Rocky and Ivy the news. Nina sat down in her chair chuckling. 

“That’s a good one Calvin.” She wiped her hands on her apron watching as Freckle ran over to the car where Ivy was waiting for him. 

“Goodbye Mrs. McMurray.” Ivy called out curtseying to the older cat from outside as she entered the vehicle. “So how did I do?” Ivy asked once Rocky managed to drive the car a few blocks away from the house. “Did I pass?”

“She approves!” Freckle beamed.

Ivy and Freckle Go On a Date

TW: None- just fluff

Ivy fixed her hat as she waited for Freckle by the Little Daisy Cafe, her sundress was a soft green with darker green embroidery. The cat broke into a smile upon spotting her boyfriend. The ginger tabby looking as anxious as ever as he fiddled with his paws. He wore a dark green waistcoat with a matching bowtie and soft green pants.

"Freckle!" Ivy smiled as she stood up, practically bouncing over to him, her heels clacking against the tiled floor. 

"H-Hello." Freckle mumbled out, his tail whipping behind him as he spotted Ivy. 

"You ready for our date?" Ivy smiled as she gripped his arm. 

"Yeah." Freckle nodded with a soft smile, his tail flicking side to side betraying his excitement. 

"Good." Ivy pressed a quick kiss to his cheek, making his tail bristle as he grew flustered. "Come on!" 

"O-Okay." Freckle followed after her as Ivy dragged him off to a nearby park. The smaller short furred cat sitting down on the grass as she patted the space next to her for Freckle, her thin and wiry tail flicking. 

"Here." Ivy handed him a wrapped sandwich. "I made sure they arn't from the drain this time." Ivy smiled as she took a bite of her own sandwich her tail intertwining with Freckle's. 

"Thank you." Freckle smiled as he leaned against Ivy while eating his sandwich. "Did you make them yourself?" He asked looking over at the chipper girl.

"Yep!" Ivy grinned, "You like them?"

"Yeah." Freckle nodded with a shy smile. "It's very good." His ear flicked idly as he spoke. 

"Glad you like it." Ivy smiled as she finished off her sandwich, her head resting on Freckle's shoulder. Freckle looked down at her flustered as he fiddled with his sandwich, tearing off a corner of the bread. "Your cute when your flustered." Ivy mused as she played with Freckle's tail, her paws batting at the fluffy ginger appendage. 

"Oh- Thank you." Freckle smiled, "You- You are also cute." He mumbled out, looking away as his face grew hot. Ivy giggled at his words, sitting up straight and looking into his eyes with a smile. 

"Thank you." Ivy purred before pecking his cheek. Once again causing Freckle to melt into a puddle of embarrassment and shyness. The ginger tabby hiding his face in his paws, as he tried to regain his lost composure. Ivy let out a soft purr at the sight as she ran her paw through his fur, caressing his cheek. Freckle nearly died inside from the overload of embarrassment, however despite that he couldn't help but let out soft purrs as Ivy brushed his fur. Aside from a few dirty glances from a few "old ones" as Ivy called them the day was uneventful and uninterrupted. "Here." Ivy placed a flower behind Freckle's ear. 

"Oh- Um, Thank you." Freckle looked around, deciding to just take the chance. Freckle plucked a daisy and before he chickened out placed it behind Ivy's ear. "That's for you." Freckle said as he grew more flustered. "It makes you look pretty- not that you weren't already pretty- it's just makes- um- " Freckle decided to shut up as he hid his face in his paws.

"Aw." Ivy purred as she nuzzled close to Freckle. "Don't worry, I think it looks nice." She smiled as she subconsciously touched the daisy, leaning against Freckle as they watched the ducks swim by in the lake.

Mornings in the Forest

Tw: Fluff and Cyno makes a bad joke

Cyno let out a groan as the sunlight beamed through the window, forcing him awake with its blinding light. Hiding away from the sun turned out to be quite a challenge, to be fair it would probably be easier if he did not cling to his husband like a leech. Said husband was curled up in Cyno’s arms, large fox ears twitching in his sleep. Cyno pressed a kiss to the crown of the fox hybrid's head, one hand scratching behind his ears. He couldn't help but find it cute how his husbands ears would twitch as he scratched behind them, the way they flopped and moved was in Cyno’s opinion adorable.

“Cyno…” His husband whined, ears flattening against his head as he hid his face in the crook of Cyno’s neck. “You woke me up Cyno-” 

“Ah- Sorry Tighnari.” Cyno chuckled, “I couldn't help myself… I just love how fluffy your ears are.”

“Cyno.” Tighnari whined, his tail lashing in annoyance, as he buried his face even further into Cyno’s neck. “I wanted to sleep- and you woke me up.”

“Sorry. Sorry Nari.” Cyno chuckled, “Can you forgive me my desert flower.” 

“Perhaps.” Tighnari grumbled, his tail swishing side to side as he yawned revealing his canines. “You ruined my sleep.”

“Please.” Cyno clung to him, pressing a few kisses to his husband's nose “I’m sorry for waking you up.” 

“Hmph- Fine I forgive you.” Tighnari let out a happy purr as he pressed a quick kiss to Cyno’s lips. The fennec fox hybrid wasting no time in dragging himself out of bed. “Come on Cyno, I’ll go make breakfast.” Tighnari yawned as he changed out of his night clothes and into his usual forest ranger outfit. Cyno sat up admiring his husband as Tighnari fixed his appearance, brushing out his tail fur with a wooden comb. “Are you going to stare at me all day or get out of bed?” Tighnari remarked as he brushed his hair. 

“I can't help it.” Cyno chuckled as he stretched, “You look-”

“Do not make puns in my presence.” Tighnari interrupted, shooting his husband a glare.

“I didn't even say anything yet-” Cyno protested.

“You were going to.” Tighnari narrowed his eyes as he dumped some herbs and mushrooms into a pan. Cyno huffed as he too got out of bed, brushing out his long white hair as he watched his husband from the corner of his eye. 

“So what are you planning to do today? Are you planning to go Collei-ng some herbs?” Cyno asked as he put on his jackal headdress. 

“...What part of no puns in my presence did you not comprehend.” Tighnari rolled his eyes as he fried the mushrooms. His ear twitched in annoyance as he cooked.

“That one wasn't that bad.” Cyno huffed as he adjusted his headdress. 

“It was dreadful.” Tighnari scoffed, rolling his eyes. 

“What are you doing today though you never answered?” Cyno grabbed his polearm, inspecting the weapon in his hands before placing it back on the rack.

“...I’m collecting herbs with Collei and clearing out some leftover withering patches.” Tighnari passed his husband a plate of fried mushrooms. Cyno spared no time in devouring the meal, not even bothering to sit down to eat. “And you?” 

“Just the usual, make sure there's no criminals or illegal activities.” Cyno’s voice was mildly muffled with how many mushrooms he'd stuffed into his mouth. 

“Should I pack you lunch then?” Tignari asked as he cut up some boar meat and added it to the pot. 

“Please.” Cyno sat up, stealing a few mushrooms off Tighnari’s plate and eating them. 

“Hey, that's my breakfast.” Tighnari swatted at him with his tail, “I already made you some.”

“I know, but I wanted some more.” Cyno explained himself as he watched Tighnari wrap his lunch in a palm tree leaf. 

“Here you go.” Tignari handed Cyno his lunch. “I made you samosas and a fish roll.” 

“Thank you, my desert flower.” Cyno cracked a smile as he pressed a quick peck on Tighnari's cheek. “Have fun teaching Collei!” Cyno grabbed his polearm making a move to the door.

“You come back in one piece.” Tighnari retorted, as he grabbed a satchel. “See you for dinner love,” Cyno’s heart fluttered as Tighnari pressed a soft kiss to his lips, he couldn't help but smile into the kiss as he kissed back. 

“See you then Nari.”

Some Kaeya Thoughts

Since he’s half Khaenri'ahn his vision actually hurts him, whenever he uses it, it feels like there's ice in his veins and it burns (the way ice burns not the way fire burns)

Kaeya can't get near a statue of seven without feeling pain mostly in his covered/missing eye

Whenever he's near a statue and he starts thinking of Khanri’ah the wind will pick up and hurt him but if he's thinking of Mondstadt the wind is calm and inviting.

After Crepus died the wind was very harsh on him for a while before it died down again.

HOLY COW THIS IS SO GOOD!!
