Birthdays And Butterflies

hi! could i request a Hu Tao x fem! reader fic where Hu Tao realizes she has feelings for the reader and tries to confess? thank you!

How do I tell her? [Hu Tao x Fem!Reader]

Ofc!! Hope this is okay 🥰

“Little miss Hu Tao? You have been acting strange lately, is everything alright?”

“Of course not Mr Zhongli! I’m sick!” Her hands flapped around, feet padding against the wooden floorboards. Her mind was running a mile a minute, your smile only being the thing she pictured in the back of her mind.

“Oh? Is it contagious?”

Xingqui’s laugh cut through her thoughts. “Hahah, not that kind of sick. she’s got the case of love.”

Zhongli coughed, readjusting his tie as he sighed. “I see, we’ll I have no experience in that department I’m afraid.” Making his way back to his desk to continue some paperwork.

“Expected.”

Hu Tao flopped onto the floor, her hands covering her bright red face as her friends laughed at her suffering. Picking and prying at her to tell them all her feelings while she tried to contain her rapid beating heart.

“So…. [Name] huh?”

“Shut it!”

“Come on Tao! You gotta tell us about her!”

She sighed, sitting up as she crossed her legs. The group of trouble makers cheered, sitting down to join her as they new she was going to spill out all her adoration.

“Jeez, where do I start. She’s just too I don’t know, perfect!”

Xianling nudged Chounyun’s shoulder as she wiggled her eye brows, the three of them stared at the love struck funeral parlour director. They were happy, it was about time she fell in the spiral of love.

Maybe, just maybe they could catch a break from her little pranks if she had someone to keep her in line.

“Start from the beginning, where do you two meet?”

Hu Tao smiled, not even having to think about it since she remembered every second the two of you spent together.

“She was walking back from the harbour before she dropped some of her belongings, of course I went over to help since I’m very polite!”

The group nodded sarcastically, nudging each other as they laughed. She wined, she was nice! Why else would she help people burry their loved deceased ones?

“Okay okay, what happened next?”

She sighed, resting her head in her palm as she stared out into the window. She remembered the smile you gave her as she handed you your stuff, your face was just breathtaking. The most perfect one she has ever seen all across Liyue.

“Her smile? Just perfect, and and and our hands touched! Her hands were so soft, the most delicate fingers too!”

“Uh huh? What else?”

“Oh! And her hair! How could I forget! It looked so beautiful! It really framed her face so well! How could someone just be so perfect.”

Her pupils were basically hearts at this point, the deeply smile really told the group what they needed to know.

“Wow Hu Tao, your in love love.”

“Double love.”

“Mhm mhm”

She shook her head, trying to shake away the thoughts of you that crowded her mind. Fingers coming up to run through her hair while she sighed.

“Love huh?”

They nodded, watching as she fell back with a squeal. Her face was as red as a pyro slime, probably as hot as one too at the thought of being with you.

“If this is what love feels like, I don’t want it to end.”

“Well you have to tell her girl!”

“Yes! Confess your undying love just like all those love novels i have shown you!”

“You two would make a good couple.”

She sat up, her eyes wide as she stared at her friends as if they were crazy.

“Confess?! What! I cant do that! What if, what if she doesn’t like me back.”

“Uhh Tao?”

“I mean [Name] is just so perfect! Too perfect for this world.” Hands covering her ears as she rolled around on the floor, blocking out her friends voices as you took over her thoughts.

“Hey… Hu Tao”

“Like she’s just amazing! You guys don’t understand how much I like her! But I don’t know if she likes me back!”

“Well uhm, you’re about to find out.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

She sat up, her eyes drifting in the direction her friends were looking. Face turning as white as a ghost as she saw what they were referring too.

“G-good morning Hu Tao, did you forget you invited me over today? Sorry for interrupting.”

There you stood, hands shaking while you held a basket full of fresh fruit you must have picked for this occasion.

Your gaze was looking at your feet, avoiding Hu Tao’s that were staring at your face with wide eyes.

“O-oh hey [Name], how are.. how are you doing?”

Suddenly she was pulled up and pushed in your direction, looking back to Xianling who grabbed the others and walked for the other door. “Nows your time!”

She watched as her friends left, pulling Zhongli up by the arm and taking him with them.

She was sweating, doing everything she could to not look at you. Her hands gripping onto the hem of her shirt as she whistled.

“Did you mean it?”

“Hmm?”

She finally mustered up the courage to look you in your eyes, seeing you look at her with a nervous look.

“That you like me, did you mean that?”

She sighed, hand on her neck while she wiping the sweat her forehead before sighed.

‘You’re too deep in now, no point hiding it anymore.’

“Yes, I did. I really like you [Name], a lot.”

The nerves made her body tingle, anxiously waiting for your response with anticipation.

She saw you open your mouth before closing it, debating on what you wanted to say. Oh no, is she going to say no?

You stepped forward, your face being right in front of hers as you smiled. “Of course I like you, in fact I was going to tell you today actually.”

She watched as you brought your hand to her face, fingers holding her cheeks delicately as you brought your face closer to place a soft kiss on top of her nose.

You smiled, pulling away as you watched Hu Tao blush. Her cheeks were a bright rosy red as she gave you a derpy smile, too in love to respond.

“Would you want to.. I don’t know, go on a picnic somewhere?” You asked, bringing the food up to show her all the fruit you brought.

“Yes! Let’s go to Wuwang hill! They have loads of cool things there! Come one lets go!” Grabbing you hand, she pulled you along the streets of Liyue. Both of you smiling as you ran your way to your date spot, both as happy as could be in this moment.

They all watched as you guys ran, smiling as they watched her friend finally find the love she deserved.

“When are you going to get a girlfriend old man?”

Zhongli sighed, making his way back inside to finish his work.

“Not any time soon.”

Hello, can I request prompt 49 with Keqing? Have a nice wonderful day/night!

49. “I’ve never been in love before, so you gotta go easy on me.” Count on You - Big Time Rush from the lyric prompt list! thank you for your request!! it's fun that i'm returning to this draft when there are rumours of btr coming back :')) my childhood is on the line here my friend... anyway i hope you enjoy! warnings: gn reader, nothing else word count: 214

Keqing blinked at you, resting her chopsticks next to her plate before crossing her arms and legs, leaning back in her chair with a hum and a calculating gaze analyzing you up and down at the words you had just blurted to her.

"Would you be so kind as to repeat yourself? I didn't quite catch what it was that you said."

You gulped, with your heart beating aggressively against your ribcage and your cheeks blushing furiously as you looked her in the eye, and taking a deep breath, you repeat your words a little bit slower than before.

"I... like you, miss Keqing. Would you go out with me?"

Her eyes softened and she reached her hands out to hold yours over the table.

"It was about time for you to tell me, silly." She smiled at you, tilting her head a little. "You just have to know this, though. I've never been in love before, so you gotta go easy on me. Understand?"

Stunned, and not believing your confession had actually gone well, you could only blink and nod your head eagerly before returning a smile of your own to her.

"Un-understood! We can- we can figure it all out together!"

She gave your hands a gentle squeeze.

"I'm sure we will."

WARNING!!!!

People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

Fluff Alphabet with Ganyu?

Ganyu: A-Z Fluff Alphabet

This request was sent in before I made my rule. If you would like to send in a request using this alphabet, please make sure its 1 character with 1-4 letters or 2 characters with 1-2 letters each.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A = Attractive (What do they find attractive about their partner?)

Physically: Ganyu loves the sound of your voice. When it's loud and boisterous she can't help but feel captivated by it, and when its low and subdued, it one of the most soothing things she has ever had the honor of listening to.

Mentally: Ganyu loves how patient you are. While her job demands that she regularly interact with those who demand immediate (and oftentimes impossible) results, you are her own personal little oasis away from it all which allows her to finally take a moment for herself.

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why/Why not?)

Long story short, it's complicated. The answer to this question would be heavily reliant upon the lifespans of both you, and the children. For Ganyu, the only way she could see starting a family with you would be if both you and the children had extended lifespans like she does. If only one or neither of you lived as long as she did, then she would be very hesitant to even consider the possibility.

If both you and the children were human, then she would only get to spend at most a century with this family she was blessed with before you would all pass on. You being human but the kids immortal also wouldn't work. Ganyu was given to her human father to raise, but a large majority of her childhood was spent being raised by Cloud Retainer. If you were human, then even when you were an old man/woman the children would still only have matured to the physical age and mental maturity of toddlers.

If both you and the children were immortal, then Ganyu still be a little hesitant, (as she would worry as to whether her children would feel as isolated as she once did), but would be far more receptive to the idea of starting a family. The children being adopted or biological would mean very little to her.

C = Cuddle (How do they like to cuddle?)

It will take some time before it happens, but when Ganyu becomes comfortable with your presence in both her life and her personal space, you will find that she is 100% a touch-starved cuddle monster. Ganyu's favorite way to cuddle is to be curled up in your lap, with her head resting against your chest, while your arms wrap around her to hold her close. When you gain her absolute trust, she greatly enjoys having you lightly stroke her horns as you cuddle. Be warned though, she can and will steal your body heat like no tomorrow. Her Cryo Vision means she's fantastic to cuddle with in the summer though.

D = Dreams (How do they picture their future with their S/O?)

Ganyu's dreams for the future are relatively simple. Beyond the general continued peace and prosperity for Liyue Harbour, all Ganyu wishes for is that you remain safe and healthy no matter how many years may pass. Some more responsibilities beyond that of just secretarial work would be nice too.

E = Everything (You are my ____ (e.g. my life, my world…))

"Next to you, is where I want to belong. Even after centuries of wondering, I still do not know if I should be allowed to live side-by-side with humans or the Adapti. Maybe instead of trying to answer that I've been burying myself in numbers and reports trying to escape reality. But when I am with you, I feel as ordinary as everyone else, and your love makes me feel like I belong. So may I stay by your side."

EDIT: I know I used "you is" instead of "you are" but its my post so I make the rules

F = Feelings (When did they know they're in love?)

Ganyu has a tendency to internalize and repress a lot of her more "uncertain" emotions, so it will take her a while before she even realizes herself that she has fallen in love. That being said, even if she does represses them, her crush on you tends to make itself known through other forms. When you're not present, Ganyu behaves as diligently as she always does. When you are in front of her however, all her attention seems to be laser focused solely on you.

Something about you just seems to demand her attention and gets her heart racing like no tomorrow. More than likely someone like Keqing will bluntly ask her why she behaves so strangely when you're around, resulting in her realizing that she might have feeling for you.

G = Gratitude (How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their S/O does for them?)

Ganyu is insanely grateful to have you in her life. A part of her still can't believe that she has been blessed with someone who loves and accepts her no matter how different she may be from both humans and Adepti. In her many centuries of living, her only goal has been to honor the contract she made with Rex Lapis. And while she still fully intends to honor that contract, perhaps it's time she made another with you.

H = Honesty (Do they have secrets they hide from their S/O?)

The only secrets Ganyu tries to actively keep from you are those which she is legally obligated not to reveal. Seriously, knowing which toothpaste Ningguang uses, probably requires signing like five NDAs. That being said, Ganyu also has a tendency to keep her own fears, worries, and insecurities to herself. She doesn't want to burden you with them, so even if its something which has been bothering her for a while, she would prefer to keep it to herself; especially if those worries are related to you and your relationship.

I = Injury (How would they react if you got hurt?)

Ganyu's handles you getting injured pretty decent. You don't live as long as she has or fight through the Archon War without being able to keep your cool under pressure. She's worries about you regardless, but generally her reactions will depend on how bad the injures you got were. Ganyu handles you getting a little hurt (cuts, bruises, broken bones) pretty well. Thanks to all of her experiences, she's pretty good at being able to gauge how bad an injury is at a glace and what she needs to do medical treatment wise to make sure you're going to be okay.

You getting hurt severely (life and death situations) is where she really starts to panic. When this happens, all of Ganyu's fears and worries came rushing forward from the corners of her mind. Not knowing whether you're going to be all right, the soul-crushing feeling that she is going to lose you/spend the rest of her life alone, etc. Its going to take a while before she'll feels ok again or stops worrying about you.

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous? How do they deal with it)

Ganyu doesn't get jealousy so much as she gets insecure. This feeds back into her feelings of being isolated, her "otherness", wondering if she spends too much time working and not enough time with you, etc. When this happens, Ganyu tends to get quiet, put her head down, and tries to act busy. This is further compounded by her dislike of sharing her insecurities with you unless prompted. As you relationship becomes closer however, Ganyu will become more comfortable in expressing those emotions to you, or confronting the person directly and telling them you're taken.

K = Kiss (How do they kiss you? How do they like to be kissed?)

For a person like Ganyu who is easily flustered, cheek and forehead kisses are the best; both to give and receive. They convey a lot of emotion but still remain chaste and don't tend to get as heated as kisses on the lips do. As your relationship progresses however, Ganyu will like to give very quick pecks on your lips when the two of you are alone, and in turn she likes to receive kisses on her lips and horns.

L = Love (Who says ‘I love you’ first?)

I feel like 8 times out 10 you would say it first rather than Ganyu, but I had an neat idea so I'm going to write about that instead.

Surprising, Ganyu was the first to say "I love you". For a large portion of your relationship with her, you decided to let her dictate the pace at which your relationship progressed. That way, with every step of this journey the two of you would take together, she could have time to feel comfortable with the myriad of new experiences she was enjoying with you. During one of her rare days off, (which for once she requested), Ganyu took you to one of her favorite places in all of Liyue. There, as the two of you settled in for an afternoon nap underneath the mid-day sun did Ganyu say those three words you didn't know you were going to hear so soon.

M = Memory (What’s their favorite memory together?)

Ganyu's favorite memory is during one of the visits to Cloud Retainer's domain. While not the first time she had taken you to visit the Adepti who raised her, it was the first time she realized just how well the two of you got along. Seeing two of the most important people in her life converse and understand one another made Ganyu feel as though perhaps one day both sides of her could be accepted.

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

After a 1000 years of working, this girl is stacked. Ganyu is the type of person who would spoil you, but only on specific occasions. She isn't the type of person who will notice you looking at something and then immediately buy it for you; unless of course its a practical purchase. You weapon needing immediate maintenance is something she would gladly pay for, you noticing some nice jewellery or a fancy watch is not. Spoiling you is pretty much reserved as a reward for celebrations or anniversaries. On those occasions however, Ganyu will have bought you far more presents then you will even know what to do with. Most will have been bought or commissioned, but there will always be at least one thing handmade present amongst the piles.

O = On Cloud Nine (What are they like when they're in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?)

When Ganyu is in love, she is much more cheerful and energetic. While she always handles with her responsibilities with greatest care and enthusiasm, now it seems as though there is no amount of overtime which can keep her down. As she goes about her duties, her cheeks always seem to have a little bit of red to them and small smile never seems to leave her face.

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

Ganyu would keep it pretty simple with the pet names she calls you; only really using one or two. In the company of others, she would simply refer to you using your name, (as called you by a pet name with others around would absolutely make her explode with embarrassment). In private, Ganyu would probably refer to you as something classic, such as "love", "dear", or some variation of your name.

Q = Questions (What are the questions they’re always asking?)

"Is there anything you would you like some help with?"

*yawn* "Would you like to take a nap together?"

"I'm free for lunch/dinner today, would you like to join me?"

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

While Ganyu definitely loves listening to the sound of the rain while sitting in the courtyard, unfortunately its appearances bring with it quite a bit of extra paperwork and overtime. Guilds and merchants complaining about the muddy roads, ships returning to the harbor in need of immediate repairs, etc. Thankfully though, her office inside Yujing Terrace is nice and warm, and the sound of rain falling is perfect for taking a quick nap.

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/S/O up?)

When were you're sad, Ganyu immediately starts by hugging you and stroking your hair. It doesn't matter how long it takes for you calm down, Ganyu will stay right there by your side. After that's done, Ganyu will calmly listen to everything you have to say while already formulating a plan on how to fix whatever it was that upset you. When Ganyu is sad, its best to simply listen to what she has to say. Don't offer advice, or a solution, just be there for her and listen. There aren't many people to whom she can simply vent to, so just listening to her problems is very therapeutic for her.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

Ganyu is more of a listener than a talker, or prefers to just sit in an comfortable silence with you. That being said, topics such as Rex Lapis, and the changes in Liyue, (both to its people and the city itself), over the centuries are always really good and interesting conversation topics for her. The dogs down by Liyue's waterfront are also another topic which Ganyu could talk about endlessly. She has personally named them all, and knows each of their favorite ways to play.

U = Understanding (How well do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?)

Ganyu understands her partner very well. There will always be a part of her which may sometimes over analyzes your words and actions, but she knows first and foremost that you would never do anything to hurt her. In turn, Ganyu is incredibly empathetic. She will never mock or ridicule your for your pain, and would do everything in her power to make sure you live as happy of a life as she can possible provide.

V = Value (How important is the relationship to them? What is it worth in comparison to other things in their life?)

Ganyu places a great deal of importance and reverence on your relationship with her. As the relationship progress and your connection to one another becomes stronger, Ganyu would come to consider both you and your relationship with her to be as important as her contract with Rex Lapis is. A contract which she has faithful abided by for over 1000 years.

W = Wedding (When, where, and how do they propose?)

Ganyu will consider proposing after you were rescued from a life or death situation. Almost losing you would get her to reevaluate a lot of things in her life. She knows being married won't magically make you safe from all potential dangers, but if anything were to happen, she wants there to be as few lingering regrets as possible.

There is only one place where Ganyu considers proposing, her childhood home: Mt. Aocang. She prepares literally everything from the food to her proposal speech, to what position the sun should be almost an entire year in advance.

X = XOXO (How affectionate are they? In public/in private)

In public, Ganyu prefers to keep affection to a bare minimum or not at all. While she enjoys the affection she receives from you, its rather embarrassing and unprofessional to participate in it when in pubic or in the company of others

In private, Ganyu is rather affectionate, especially when she become comfortable with you. She is 100% the type of person to bury their head into your chest, back, or neck and nuzzle while humming at how content she is.

Y = Yearning (How well do they cope when they're separated from their S/O?)

Ganyu's ability to cope with separation becomes worse the longer the two of you are together. While at first she is very good at being separated from you for days at a time, after a while she begins to miss you almost as soon as you leave the room. While still as diligent in her work as ever, the best part of her day is definitely coming back home to see you.

Z = Zeal (Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship?)

Ganyu is definitely willing to go to great lengths for your relationship to succeed; perhaps a little too far sometimes. Once you've established that connection, Ganyu would do a lot of things to maintain it. All within reason of course and never at the detriment of other, but she might do somethings to the detriment of herself. Pushing herself harder to make time for both you and work, repressing problems she is having with the relationship, etc. If you have any dignity, make sure you take care of this girl and never betray the trust she places in you.

On Anon hate

Tw:/// (not proofread)

Ganyu's habit of sleeping was far from ordinary human norms, she has a habit of taking afternoon naps and an accurate internal clock, every lunch time people seemed to find Ganyu missing.

But Ganyu will simply find a nice spot to rest on and will simply curl up into a ball and take a peaceful nap.

Ganyu was startled awake as her head was bumped on to the haystack, her eyes look upon her surroundings seeing as she was brought upon in Dihua Marsh. Shaking her head in a daze.

Standing up from the wagon as she pat her clothes to clean up the remaining hay stuck on her clothing, as she breathe out a sigh. A wooden stick was broken as your foot step on it, immediately alerting Ganyu of your presence. Her hands quick at taking out her bow as she pointed it towards your direction.

You laugh nervously as you look at her, your hands raising up as a sign of surrender. "Pardon me, but who might you be? Judging from your clothes your definitely part of the fatui." Her voice was stern and questioning as she looks at you with an inquisitive gaze.

"I definitely assure you that I'm not part of those fatui scum, but to see Ms. Ganyu pointing a harmful weapon to an innocent civilian will definitely turn heads if people from Liyue knew about this but of course I'll keep my mouth shut for I am gracious."

"I am sorry for the misunderstanding, but may I ask for your name?"

"You can call me (y/n), Ms. Ganyu."

Ganyu can't seem to forget about the encounter, her face flush red from her mistake. Ganyu definitely doesn't want to see you again.

And yet, you were always there everytime she went to Dihua Marsh to get a fresh air, look and sing upon glaze lilies, or even her afternoon naps. Ganyu had also thought of the possibility of you following her and had ask you about it and was answered by a laugh instead.

And a year passed as the both of you kept on meeting each other in Dihua Marsh, her suspicions of you decreasing day by day as you guys shared deep and meaningful talks, your relationship deepening by the end of each day as Ganyu grows to trust you more that she even confided her worries unto you.

"If you like I can cook for you everyday Ganyu."

Ganyu looks at you shockingly as she looks down on her lap as she played with her fingers absentmindedly, her heart was racing as her cheeks flush with a light pink. "You don't have to go through all that trouble."

"But I want to, I want to take care of you after all."

You stayed true to your word, visiting Ganyu everyday at her workplace and giving her a fresh set of cooked vegetables neatly place in a bento box.

Ganyu hates and loves your straight forward personality, seeing how flustered she becomes everytime you casually say something intimate or affectionate without being ashame gets her heart racing and butterflies fluttering inside of her stomach.

The moon was a warm milky glow in the sky, as if the sight of it could become a song in the eyes of anyone willing to raise their head upward. Ganyu was seated on the green pastures, as you tuck a freshly plucked glaze lily on Ganyu's ear. Her eyes snapping forward as she looks at you with wide eyes.

Her fingers curiously touch the flower that was placed on her ear, your hand was then place upon her cheeks bringing her close to you. Your lips placing a quick peck on both of her horns as an embarrassed squeak left her mouth.

"My horns are sensitive!"

You laugh as Ganyu covered her horns with embarrassment, your soft hands pulling her closer as you passionately kiss her on the lips.

"I love you." You muttered while your lips stayed close to hers.

Her pale slender fingers took hold of yours that was on her flush cheeks, "I love you too."

The moon happily embraced the sun's radiance as they watch upon the two lovers.

⇨ absquatulate

absquatulate: (v). to leave without saying goodbye.

includes: kaeya, albedo, hu tao, kazuha, xinyan

KAEYA ALBERICH would try to hold on to you for as long as possible because you were the one who understood him, the only one who knew of his flaws and his crimes, yet still chose to love him. but in the end, he knew he couldn't hold on to you much longer. he was doomed to be alone, after all.

"please, don't leave me."

ALBEDO accepts the fact that he would never be with you again. i mean, that is how life works right? things come and go, yet for some reason, albedo can't help but miss the feeling of your presence, your touch, your words. you saw him as something more than the smart alchemist, but he regarded you as nothing more than an experiment with a surprisingly bittersweet end.

"you were the purest dust in my life."

HU TAO reminisces of the time you both spent together, savouring each laugh of yours in her memories, your bright smile that would illuminate her dark world and transform it into something beautiful. but the deafening silence was ringing in her ears, the absence of your jokes and comments and usual playful banter drained from existence, like a soul taken away.

"but life means nothing without you."

KAEDEHARA KAZUHA sits atop that one special rock that overlooked a small river in liyue with a soft smile on his face, watching the sunset as it casts a colourful glow over the river. his hand momentarily caresses the rock, looking for that particular warm feeling of your hand beside him, but then he remembers that you weren't there anymore, and that smile fades away along with the sunset.

"I can't lose you, too."

XINYAN strums her guitar onstage, her fingers gliding over each chord with ease. she prepares to sing the song you both wrote while huddling underneath a blanket on that frosty night, lifting her head to scan over the crowd searching for those distinct eyes she had grown to see full of admiration and love for her. her fingers hesitate, her breath cuts short, you're no longer there. the music breaks, along with her heart.

"but how about that song we wrote together?"

not my first genshin post being an angst

not revised because I'm fvcking tired :D ,, i'll do it l8r prolly

@solar-shatter, this is for you <3

Eula confronting her Fatui!S/O

Ironic.

They could protect Eula from getting judged for her identity.

But not themselves...

- Eula had reported her discovery about her S/O being a spy for the Fatui to the Knights already.

- All that was left was to confront them about it. Though this confrontation was for the good of Mondstadt, for Eula, this was far more personal.

- Eula had asked the Traveler and the other Knights to wait outside in case the situation got bad.

- She had gone to their house and talk to them alone.

- Eula swung open the door, fist clenched with their orders on several papers.

(S/O) "Eula? Is something wrong?"

(Eula) "As a matter of fact, there is."

- Eula slammed her hand onto the nearby table, the papers scattering.

- S/O's expression darkened the moment they saw their orders laying out for both of them to see.

(Eula) "What the hell is this?!"

- S/O opened their mouth to say something, but no words came out.

- Eula kept her eyes on S/O the entire time. She was expecting them to go for a weapon, but they hadn't shown any signs of fighting or even running.

(Eula) "To think that all this time, YOU were the one the people of Mondstadt should have been looking out for instead of me."

(S/O) "..."

- S/O remained quiet, not being able to look Eula in the eye.

(Eula) "You were always the first one to defend me when people were getting on my case for being a Lawrence. You were always the first one to say, 'You should never judge someone for their family's past', S/O. Was all of what you said, lies?"

- She clenched her fist tightly, to the point it started to hurt.

(Eula) "When you told me that you loved me, not caring who I am, was that a lie too?"

(S/O) "...I..."

(Eula) "The truth, S/O! You will tell me, or the people of Mondstadt will have their vengeance!"

- S/O had heard that term so many times.

- Vengeance.

- Whenever it was directed at them or any other citizen, they could always tell Eula never meant it, despite what she said.

- Now, there was such venom in her words.

- Now it truly seemed like her vengeance would be wrought on them if they didn't say something.

- S/O remained quiet for a little longer before sighing, finally looking at her.

(S/O) "I meant every word, Eula. I truly do love you."

(Eula) "..."

(S/O) "And as much as I trust you...There is no way anyone would ever trust me, especially now that they know where I'm from."

- S/O sadly smiled.

(S/O) "Besides, you never deserved to be treated as you did. I never found that fair."

- Eula felt a single tear run down her cheek, but she dared not impair her vision.

- Now, S/O was planning something.

(Eula) "The Fatui diplomats in the city...do they know who you are?"

(S/O) "No. Only the person who ordered me here, though that was already a year and a half ago. My job was just to watch the Knights' activities posing as a civilian. Instead, I became attached to Mondstadt..."

- S/O reached behind them, prompting Eula's hand to reach for the hilt of her greatsword.

(S/O) "The City of Freedom. To be honest, I wasn't really big on this place when I got here. But after I met you?...It showed me that this place isn't all too bad."

- S/O slowly pulled out a small blade while Eula unsheathed her greatsword, waiting for them to make a move.

- Instead, S/O threw it onto the floor, following a number of other small weapons and tools.

- Eula was confused at first, looking at the weapons then to S/O.

(Eula) "What...?"

(S/O) "I don't want to fight you or anyone else in the Knights."

- S/O turned away.

(S/O) "...Archons know I've already hurt you more than any sword could."

- Eula lowered her weapon, but it remained in her hands.

- S/O slowly walked up to the table where Eula was, and grabbed the papers, walking back to a nearby fireplace, tossing the papers inside.

(S/O) "...Whatever you want to do, I'll accept it, Eula."

- S/O watched as the papers were slowly reduced to ash, not hearing a word from Eula.

- They both remained still in complete silence, not sure what to do...
