Song pick #1: Nobody by Mitski

Song Pick #2: Heart Attack by LOONA/Chuu

It’s been years since then.

You were just innocent children, waddling around and giggling at the simplest of things. You could remember your mother calling for you, telling you to be careful before you mindlessly stumbled towards the streets of Liyue Harbor. The world outside of the Harbor was enticing, so you walked for hours, only stopping until you reached the dark corners of Wuwang hill.

You could remember the girl you found in the woods, curled up against a tree, holding a bleeding knee. The girl with brunette hair and eyes that glimmered like rubies, hyperventilating as she chuckled to mask the tears welling up in her eyes. As time passed, she stopped laughing. Her voice wavered as the darkness of the forest consumed her whole, her cries for help only bearing witness to the trees.

However, that was before you found her. As soon as you caught sight of another person on the hill, you ran towards them. When you saw that the person was hurt, you burst into tears and fell to their feet. You hadn’t seen blood before, and you additionally had the tendency to cry when other people cried.

You grabbed the girl’s hand, trying to babble out an “Are you okay?” to her. The girl in front of you wiped her own tears and looked at you with concern and confusion. She crawled forward to pat your head, her tiny fingers fluffing your hair around.

“H-Hey, don’t cry…” She mumbled, trying to be comforting. She wiped off her knee and raised it up to your face, wincing. “Look! I’m all okay now, see?”

You frantically shook your head, and started taking off one of your socks to stop the bleeding. You clumsily tied it around her leg, which still had blood running from the wound. It was a tiny scrape, but to a toddler, it practically looked like her leg had been chopped off. You sat down beside her and leaned against a tree.

A few minutes passed, and you had fully calmed down. You sniffled and wiped your eyes every now and then, but you were no longer crying, which the mystery girl considered a win. Your new acquaintance wrapped an arm around your shoulders, and started rubbing your back in a comforting manner. After a few minutes, you finally spoke up.

“Sorry…” you sighed. The brunette next to you perked up at your apology, energetically scrambling to reassure you.

“Huh? Don’t apologize, I’m all better now thanks to you!” She grinned at you, shifting to sit in criss cross position, the blood from her cut mixing with dirt as she did so. She started rocking from side to side, her hair swinging in sync with her movements. “Lighten up! What’s your name?”

You raised your head, a small smile spreading over your lips. “(Y/n). What’s yours?” Your eyes followed her form as she clapped in excitement. She was sent into a fit of quiet giggles as she continued to sway. You wondered why she was so happy, you only asked what her name was. “I’m Hu Tao, Its nice to meet you!”

After a while, you started laughing with her, despite your confusion. Being with another person felt… nice. You had been sheltered by your mother every since you had been born. Staying inside Liyue Harbor’s walls didn’t giving you much time to adjust to the world, especially since you were just a toddler. That was part of why you cried when you saw Hu Tao’s scrape, and that was why you were here in the first place.

As night started falling, mist spread throughout every nook of Wuwang Hill. The shadows cast from the trees melted into the night sky, the darkness forcing you to cling to your new friends. You and Hu Tao started walking, trying to find your way out of the forest by using seelies and butterflies. It was dawn by the time you had gotten home, and everyone had been worried sick about you.

So, you bid Hu Tao farewell, and promised to meet her in the forest another day.

It was around 7PM when Hu Tao finally returned to the funeral parlor. But something felt… different. Tonight, she didn’t feel the weight of death on her shoulders.

No, tonight, she felt happy.

——————————————————————————-

It’s been twelve years since you first met Hu Tao.

Your friendship with the Overseer brought good to your life, and continues to make you happy every day. She’s been there through everything, not just to watch- but also to support you in everything that you do. This was something that no one was willing to do for you before.

She knew nearly everything about you- your favorite food, you favorite books, all of the standard stuff that a close friend would know. However, Hu Tao also knew about your past, and some of the deepest feelings that managed to work their way into your stomach. Sometimes, you would show up at her door in tears, asking for advice, and she would happily comply.

Almost too happily.

Hu Tao would get butterflies in her stomach whenever your gaze met hers, no matter the circumstance. Her hands would sweat, and to say that she would become flustered is an understatement. She would always become red faced if you ever got too close to her- and you, in your ignorance, would think she was sick or something.

She was happy that you relied on her, and she thought that the joy bubbling in her stomach every time you were mentioned was just the feeling of having a real friend. But, after a while, she realized that these weren’t just platonic feelings.

She realized that she was in love with you.

And dear god, she never expected love to hurt so much. All she wanted to do was take you into her arms and kiss you like there was no tomorrow, but she couldn’t risk losing what she had with you. Not now, not ever. So, she vowed that she would never come clean about her feelings unless you asked about them. She wouldn’t stand in your way.

It was only until she heard that you were going on a long mission that she regretted her promise. She didn’t want you to leave, she didn’t know what she would do with herself. You were the very reason she could move forward every day. After all, no one like the poor girl. Not Zhongli, not her own family, not anyone.

Every day you were gone, she waited at her door for you. The hollow feeling in her chest returned, and everyone who knew her had a feeling that something was wrong. Her eyes were dull, and the constant tapping of her foot was a clear sign that she was anxious. No one asked about her though, in fear of becoming her newest obsession.

Hu Tao buried herself in work after three days of your absence. After being yelled at by client and getting ignored by Zhongli, she tried not to cry. But, understandably, she broke halfway through the week. She truly did miss you, she thought as tears streamed down her face in the dead of night.

When you finally returned, you returned with a familiar face.

One she hadn’t seen in very, very long time

His raven hair decorated with glowing turquoise could be recognized by anyone who knew his name. His mask was practically a symbol of justice to the Archons, and his presence had once pestered Hu Tao long before you had left.

Adeptus Xiao.

He was always so cold, so unforgiving. It seemed that she always managed to tick him off just by being around, just like she did to everyone else. Occasionally, he would smirk at her antics, but other than that, he was something akin to a boulder. She didn’t want him to take away her best friend, or even worse- make you boring too.

Her joy was dampened when you said that he would be staying with you for a few days, but most of all, she was confused. A burning feeling settled in her chest as she watched you smile at him like he was the Sun and Stars themselves. Why did he need a place to stay? The Wangshu Inn was quite suitable for travelers and gods alike, so what was the problem?

Unfortunately, Hu Tao’s questions were answered when she caught you doing something that she never thought you would. The Overseer was going about her day as usual, tending to customers and preparing coffins. She was going to find you to ask you about something, when she witnessed you pressing a kiss to the Yaksha’s lips through a crack in the door.

Xiao wrapped a hand around your waist and pulled you in even closer, tilting his head to deepen the affection he was giving. Your palms glided up his neck, finding their way into his hair. You stayed like that for a moment, bodies pressing against each other, warmth emanating from your moving lips. A dark blush coated your lover’s cheeks when you broke away for air.

The image of you might have been hazy, but she knew what was going on now, and she knew what this was leading up to. A pang of jealousy and sadness shot through her stomach, infecting her system until it had reached her heart.

You didn’t want her. You never would.

A few small gasps left Hu Tao’s lips as she turned on her heel and ran away from the scene. The floorboards creaked as she did so, alerting both you and Xiao that someone was there. Both of your heads snapped towards the partially open door. That was the last thing you heard from her for days.

All you got was a mere glimpse of her uniform from behind the door, floating like a butterfly caught in a strong breeze.

It almost felt as if she was drifting away, bit by bit.

——————————————————————————-

Hu Tao returned to you almost a week later.

After she saw you and Xiao, panic set into her soul before she could realize it. She closed the Funeral Parlor until she returned, leaving you in a nervous state of confusion. The only thing you could wonder was, where was she? Was she alright? Why would she ever do this? Not once had she closed the parlor, so why now?

The truth was, your friend was now lost because of you. She though that she had a chance with you, but she had come to realize that that was far from the case. For three days, she had been aimlessly wandering around the dark corners of Wuwang hill, trying to gather her thoughts. But of course, she had no luck. The young Overseer needed advice on how to cope, so she ran to the wisest person she could think of.

Zhongli.

Hu Tao found the Ex-Archon to be irritably smart, making him a good, yet annoying source of help. He had expressed his hatred towards her, claiming that she acted like a child. His attitude always stung a little, but she couldn’t afford to hold grudges right now.

The streets of Liyue were filled with a mix of tourists and locals, the bustling crowds forcing Hu Tao to get through using force. She pushed her way through the ocean of people, the tears that lingered on her cheeks smudging from bumping into the bodies of others.

When she finally reached Zhongli’s door, it was almost sunset. She rapped on his door, and waited for a response. A sharp click echoed from the other side of the door as it swung open, revealing Zhongli, who was looking just as professional as always. He quirked a brow at her appearance and gestured for her to come inside.

He could tell that she had been crying, her puffy eyes and red nose giving him all of the minor details he needed. However, something else was off about her. The light from her eyes was gone- that really told him everything. There was no requirement for questions, he just needed to offer any form of comfort, since her previous source was the very thing that had her caused to seem so… dejected. Zhongli walked over to a kettle situated in his kitchen, and blew out the fire warming the water inside of it.

“It’s something to do with (Y/n), right?” Zhongli asked, pity lining his tone. The woman in front of him nodded sadly as tears welled up in her eyes. He sighed and patted her on the back. ‘You truly did have full control over this poor soul, didn’t you?’ He thought as he poured the boiling water into a cup. The problem was, you didn’t know of the power you held, which could possibly lead to the Overseer’s downfall. “Please, come sit down. Would you like some tea?”

“No, that’s okay.” Hu Tao replied, voice so quiet Zhongli could hardly hear it. “Thank you for the offer, though.”

The Archon sat across from her, holding a steaming cup of tea, his amber eyes boring into his guest’s soul. A shiver ran up Hu Tao’s spine as she soaked up his intense gaze, the despair she harbored just minutes ago morphing into pure nerves. She chuckled nervously and wiped her eyes.

“(Y/n) is in love with Xiao, and… I’m more than certain that he loves them in return.” Zhongli choked on his tea at her words, eyes as wide as saucers. He hurriedly set his teacup down and gently patted himself on the chest to regain his bearings. The infamous Yaksha… was in love? Was that even possible?

Confusion and disbelief were glazed over Zhongli’s features as he coughed into his fist. “I… I see.” He answered, “I suppose miracles do happen, even if they are in the, uh- strangest of circumstances.”

“Zhongli, you don’t understand, I love (Y/n). I love them too- I’ve loved them for longer than Xiao has.” Hu Tao cried, more tears accumulating under her irises. Tiny sobs left her throat as she ranted. “I hate having to watch the person I love the most get taken by some else, It’s not fair!”

An agitated sigh vibrated through the Archon’s chest at her words. How young and naive she was. A part of Zhongli understood how she felt, and another resented her for crying over something that he had been through millions of times. But, in reality, he had a secret soft spot for the young Heiress.

“Love isn’t fair. It never was.” And in the end, that side always managed to win him over, “The best thing you can do for yourself is move on.” because no one should have to go through what he did. He was alone when he lost his friends, and this child shouldn’t have to live through that too, even if she was a bother sometimes.

The girl’s breath hitched. Move on? How could she ever move on when you had captured her heart and marked it as your own? Anger started rising up Hu Tao’s neck as he spoke. She opened her mouth, ready to retaliate- but she was cut off by another statement shook her to the core.

“(Y/n)’s feelings won’t change, you know.”

He was right.

She knew he was.

No matter how much she wanted you to love her, you were incapable of doing so.

But why couldn’t you?

“But it isn’t fair to make them worry about you by running away. Go back to the Funeral Parlor, and patch things up.”

Heavy silence filled the air. The atmosphere was intense as the crushing realization hit Hu Tao- the realization that she had been selfish by running. She had caused you more trouble than she had meant to. A few minutes passed like this- the Geo Archon watching as a lovesick girl silently have an entire existential crisis inside the walls of her own mind.

Abruptly, she stood up.

The life had returned to her face again, and a determined look shone in her eyes. She was ready to come home. She couldn’t hold you down anymore. She would go back to you and apologize, because promised she would never, ever hurt you. Hu Tao ran out of Zhongli’s apartment, yelling to him about how grateful she was for his help.

It was nightfall when she had arrived at your house, exactly four days after she had left. She placed her hands on her knees and she panted into the cold, damp air. Soon enough, she felt gentle arms looping around her body. It was you.

A smile bloomed on her face as she hugged you back. “I’m sorry.” She whispered as you cried into her shoulder. Butterflies bloomed in her stomach when you did so, a faint blush coating her ears and cheeks. You bombarded her with questions of concern when you led her inside, Hu Tao joyfully answering each one of them. But as soon as she saw Xiao emerge from your room, she felt sick.

The butterflies that had been fluttering in her stomach were now dead.

——————————————————————————-

Today was your wedding day.

Today was the day that Xiao would promise his soul to to you for eternity.

Nerves and love were mixing in your stomach as you got ready. Your hands were sweating, and it felt as though electricity was spreading throughout your chest. You had envisioned yourself walking down the isle many times before, but you’d never expected it to actually happen. Especially not with someone as amazing as Xiao.

The wedding was being held at the Wangshu Inn, the very place where you and Xiao had met. It wasn’t a big reception, neither of you were up for that- but a few close friends had been invited to come and celebrate with you. It was only a few minutes before you had to come out, and the last checks of your outfit were being done.

Hu Tao stood behind you, trying to style your hair. You looked so beautiful in your wedding attire- hell, you were practically glowing. A constant ache had settled in Hu Tao’s stomach, and ever so often she would start to feel nauseous because of it. It hurt, knowing that you would never be hers. It hurt, seeing you look at someone else with such love. But she swore, years ago, that she wouldn’t get involved.

She knew you were happy, and that’s all that mattered to her.

She entangled her fingers in your hair and closed her eyes. A giggle rose from her throat to try and mask the fear that coursed through her body. It was just like you were kids again- it was just like the day you met. Hu Tao wondered if you remembered that day. She wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t, it had been two decades since then.

She should have told you. She should have taken the chance to tell you she loved you, instead of digging her own grave. Images of what could have been flashed before her eyes, and the hollow feeling in her chest had returned.

Her hands shook slightly, alerting you of the expression on her face. She grinned as big, glistening tears rolled down her cheeks. Small hiccups emerged from her lips, chest heaving with despair. She felt as if she was grieving for no reason, and she hated that she was burdening you with her issues on the most important day of your life.

You looked up at her, guilt clouding your eyes. Gently, you stood up and pulled her into your arms.

“Hey, hey… what’s wrong?” You whispered.

“N-Nothing, really, I’m just happy for you!” Choked laughs were scattered throughout her words as she nuzzled her face into your neck. “My best friend is getting married, of course I would cry.”

It was meant to seem like a lighthearted comment- a mere joke for you to laugh at, but there was a melancholic undertone to her voice, unlike the usual bubbly one she had. You quirked your head at her voice and placed a hand on her shoulder. You stared at your friend, the hues of your eyes being reflected in the hers.

“Nothing will change Hu Tao, I promise. You’ll always be my best friend.”

A friend. That’s all she was to you.

Hu Tao nodded and pulled away from you, wiping her eyes one last time. She brushed herself off before patting you on the back and ushering you to the door. The sounds of clapping could be heard as Verr Goldet finished up her speech. “Well, it’s time.” She sighed, “Now go out there, and give them a wedding they’ll never forget!”

The exchange that happened between her and Zhongli replayed in her head.

Time seemed to slow down as you gave her a final ‘thank you’, before walking down the aisle and leaving her side forever. Flowers clouded Hu Tao’s vision when she went around the seating arrangements to take her place up front as your Maid of Honor.

One last time, she looked at you, eyes filled with the disgusting feeling of love she had felt for so long. Taking a deep breath, she realized that Zhongli was right. She needed to move on. But she couldn’t, no matter how many times she tried.

Even as you both grew old together, the memory of the day she met you still lingers in her mind, reminding her that you gave your life away to someone that wasn’t her.

synopsis. although the stars change, some things remain the same. | requested. ♡

✧ ┊ Gentle winds blew throughout the air as the fire beneath your feet crackled. From time to time you would poke at the hot coals with a long stick... Just to watch as the end caught a small flame for you to put out. This happened quite a few times before you got bored of watching it happen over and over again.

Sitting beside you was a certain astrologist, an expression of great thought written across her face as she pressed at her circle of what seemed to be constellations of some sort. You didn't quite understand what she was so focused on but you didn't really mind. The fact you two could enjoy each other’s company like this was all that really mattered anyway.

"Can't you read the stars above?" You questioned, now leaning back to look up at the clear sky that shimmered above the two of you. From your perspective you could see the wide array of stars showing themselves to the world, twinkling and sparkling as if there was nothing wrong in this world.

"I could, but this way is much more organized and easier for me to use." The black-haired girl replied in a simple manner, not touching too much on the details of what exactly she was up to. You only nodded in reply, your attention to the stars now shifting into curiosity as you glanced over to her.

What exactly was she doing? You wondered to yourself, beginning to slightly lean into the astrologist ever so nonchalantly. From what your eyes could see, it was a mix of what seemed to be sparkling constellations being shifted and changed into whatever she wanted. It wasn't long before you were mesmerized by the colors and sparkles, your eyelids starting to become heavy.

Although she seemed unbothered by the action, Mona eventually stopped what she was. After so long of sitting like this with you, she was beginning to wonder if you were actually interested in what you were doing. "What you are doing?" She questioned, though no response was given afterwards.

After a bit of observation, it didn't take her long to realize you had fallen asleep. With your forehead lazily laying on her shoulder, body awkwardly hunched over, and breathing much heavier than usual, it was generally... Rather easy to tell.

It also didn't take her long to realize just how close you were to her.

Which of course, made her a bit flustered.

Of course, she didn't have the heart to wake you. Why would she when you looked so peaceful? Taking the alternative to keep you where you were, she kept her composure as calm as possible. Ignoring the fact her cheeks were dusted with the faintest shade of pink. Judging the way you slumped over, she also wasn't going to allow you to sleep uncomfortably. With one swift movement, she adjusted your head to lay properly on her shoulder. “Better.” She whispered to herself, content with how much more comfortable you already looked.

She quietly studied every one of your features with a certain feeling of warmth filling her chest. From how you smiled in your sleep to how the fire would flicker across your skin from time to time, she found everything about you admirable no matter what state you were in. Something about you kept her interested, even if it was another story about some slimes you ran into.

Pulling her out of her thoughts, she tensed up a bit when you began to stir from your sleep. Her head quickly snapped to look at the fire in front of you two, acting as if she wasn’t staring at you so lovingly just a moment ago. She remained quiet as she let you adjust your position to a new one she assumed you had found more comfortable. Heaving a light sigh, she could only shake her head at herself for being so flustered.

“Sleep well, Y/N.” She whispered, slowly laying her head on top of yours with a hesitant yet comforting arm around you as she began to continue finishing up tomorrows astrology column. Despite all these days traveling together, things never seemed to change between the two of you.

first impressions

domesticity.

summary: a snapshot of intimacy from when you live with albedo, beidou, childe and hu tao.

notes: fluff, headcanons, 546 words

Albedo: he picks wildflowers for the dinner table. When he has art block, he lets you draw whatever you want in his sketchbook. Sometimes Klee comes over and you finger paint together as Albedo cooks fish (it’s always fish night when Klee is visiting). He likes it when you kiss the star at the base of his throat. When he’s busy concentrating on some project or paper, you can hand him anything and he’ll take it without question (once, he tried to drink the pepper shaker you handed him, and it took a dozen kisses to cheer him up… or maybe he just wanted you to kiss him). It makes him smile when he sees your shoes lined up neatly next to his at the doorway.

Beidou: you wrap your legs around her waist as she carries you around the house with ease. You leave little notes for each other everywhere (on the fridge: you ate all of the eggs again; on the bathroom mirror: appointment at 11am, don’t forget; on your forehead when she leaves for work: I love you so much). She sends you pictures of random things and says this reminds her of you (everything beautiful reminds her of you). There’s a dent in the sofa from all the times you have cuddled there together, watching movies and shows. The two of you have a collection of seashells from every beach you’ve visited, kept in a jar in the bedroom. Beidou has a myriad of scars and she lets you trace them, recounting each of the events in where she got them.

Childe: he likes it when you lay on top of him so he can rest his head in the crook of your neck. He runs full throttle down the grocery store aisle as you sit in the cart, shrieking. The two of you go to the beach and he carries you on his back and dumps you into the waves, only for you to pull him down with you. There’s a collection of cookbooks in the kitchen, and Childe leaves little notes in the margins (they really liked this dish; oh, we ate something similar on our first date; I would add some herbs). Sometimes, you’ll kiss every freckle you can find on his body and Childe wishes you would never stop. He likes taking pictures of you, scrolling through his collection of them when he’s in a bad mood so he can smile again.

Hu Tao: She takes you out at 3am and the two of you wander around places like the grocery store, or the park, laughing the whole time. She picks up your favorite candy and surprises you with it on random occasions. Her favorite thing is when you towel each other’s hair dry after a shower. She rests her head against your chest so she can hear your heartbeat. Hu Tao looks up haunted places and convinces you to go with her, holding your hand the whole time as she yells for the ghosts to come out. She has a collection of silly mugs, and when she goes out, she always comes home with one more for the collection (her favorites are the first pair of mugs you two bought together, no matter how worn they get).

ideal partner

hi besties!!! i’m brainrotting about my genshin crushes rn so. yeah i’m doing my fav genshin characters for this one! characters here are zhongli, yoimiya, hu tao, & albedo 💓

ZHONGLI

zhongli’s ideal s/o would be quite different from him. i could really see him with someone loud and charismatic, opposed to his quieter behavior.

i don’t think zhongli would want to date anyone from liyue. i feel like they see liyue’s people as their descendants and that would just be weird lmao so it’s a 90 day fiancé moment

zhongli would need someone open-minded. if they’re gonna freak out when they inevitably find out that he’s rex lapis, then he probably won’t even bother. it’s just unnecessary drama that they don’t want to deal with. the point of becoming zhongli was to distance themself from rex lapis anyway.

that being said, zhongli still cares a lot about liyue and its history, so he would really appreciate someone who shares that passion. please ask him to tell you stories about liyue!! it makes them very happy

zhongli would want someone who isn’t jealous or possessive. if you find out about his past relationship with guizhong and you’re insensitive about it, that’ll just break his heart. they love you now, you’d have no reason to be jealous over someone who’s been dead for millennia.

YOIMIYA

yoimiya would definitely want somebody just as outgoing and energetic as her. it’s not that she has anything against introverted people, it’s just that they wouldn’t be able to keep up with her lifestyle.

she cares a lot about what her dad thinks, so he has to approve of you! i’m sure he would though lol, he’s probably gonna be happy with anyone who makes his daughter happy

yoimiya values someone who will listen to her; not just hear what she says, but truly listen and engage with her. she’s spent a lot of her life being ignored or tuned out and it’s really disheartening for her. she would adore a significant other who loves to hear her talk about whatever’s on her mind.

i feel like yoimiya would be compatible with an artist. being an artist (of fireworks) herself, she would love to be close to someone else as passionate about creating as she is. doesn’t matter if you’re good or bad, as long as you let her see whatever you’re working on, she’s happy!

yoimiya’s love languages are definitely physical touch and words of affection. the latter is pretty obvious considering how much she loves to talk. as for physical touch, she seems like the kind of person to always want to hold her s/o in some way. yoimiya will constantly want to cuddle or at least hold your hand, so if you’re not into that, she’s gonna be kinda upset.

HU TAO

all hu tao wants is someone who likes her. that’s it. she constantly suffers through everyone thinking she’s mean, annoying, and unfunny. she strikes me as the kind of person to cling to whoever shows her a fraction of love.

unfortunately, that would probably lead her to making some bad decisions in past relationships. she needs someone who will love her for her and be there when she can’t keep up her façade anymore. hu tao needs someone who understands her, who doesn’t see her as unworthy or broken.

sad stuff out of the way, of course she’d love someone with a sense of humor! life’s boring when you don’t know how to laugh. that would definitely be the first thing hu tao notices in her s/o.

but she would also appreciate it if her s/o knew how to quell her sometimes-inappropriate attitude. all hu tao wants is to fit in with the rest of the world, so if you can gently show her how to do that without changing who she is, she’ll love you forever

speaking of forever, hu tao would love an immortal s/o. she deals in death, but the last thing she wants to think about is the deaths of her loved ones. if she were to date a god or an adeptus, she wouldn’t have to worry about that. but immortals are hard to come by, so she’s happy with her s/o just being safe and evading death for as long as possible. i can’t see her with an adventurer s/o because it’s just too dangerous and it would worry her so much.

ALBEDO

albedo doesn’t care to look for an s/o and if he ever develops feelings for someone, he’d want them to pursue the relationship first. albedo’s not great with expressing himself, so he would love someone who could do that instead and be patient with him.

i can really see albedo falling for someone from outside mondstadt or khaenri’ah. he values learning about the world around him, and having an s/o from somewhere he’s never been would be beneficial to him. not that he sees you as a commodity though, he just thinks that’s a fun added bonus to who you are.

like zhongli, albedo wants someone open-minded. he has a pretty weird past and is literally made of chalk, so do with that what you will lmao

albedo would want you to get along with klee. she means a lot to him, and it would really warm his heart if you took care of and loved klee the way he does. not liking klee would be a total red flag to him.

Hello! May I request fluffy relationship headcanons with Mona, Sucrose, and Fischl? Gender neutral reader, please! :)

Relationship Hcs | Mona, Sucrose, Fischel

Mona is quite a quiet one. She’d be that kind of girlfriend you would have to buy or do things for her without asking. Because she often hates to ask for things. Especially mora. Though Mona is extremely sweet if you buy her anything or give her more. She would do her best to protect you and would tell you all about astrology. When it comes to talking to astrology she trusts you the most to rant to you about. Because she doesn’t talk to many people, she appreciates it a lot when you listen to her talk about astrology. When it comes to pleasing you, she’ll cling onto you for cuddles. She despises being so bold to have to ask to cuddle but you always like seeing her get red. She’ll lay with her head gently on your chest while you have an arm wrapped around her waist while she falls asleep. Other times, she’ll try to take you out on the best and most perfect dates. So she can appreciate everything you do for her and return the favors. Which is why most of your dates are romantic and usually during a starry night or late evening. Since she knows how much you enjoy the scenery. During the day while you work, she’ll prepare you a lunch for you to take tomorrow and dinner for you to eat. So that you won’t have to worry about cooking or cleaning when you get home.

Fischl is quite the handful. She may be quiet and more to herself, but she does enjoy going on adventures and etc. That’s why you usually come with her since it’s the most you can get out of her. While being with Fischl, she’ll do her best to keep you safe. Meaning she’ll make sure you are protected when you come with her on her commissions. Other times if Fischl has no commissions or ends up sick, she’ll let you do your daily work. And would clean up the house and cook for you. When it comes to dates, Fischl prefers to go at night, because by the time the two of you come home, you can just go straight to bed and cuddle. She would also compliment you time from time, though she’ll blush a bit if you do the same. If Fischl feels unsafe, she’ll cling onto your arm and rest her head on your arm or shoulder. Because she feels that if she is closer to you, she’ll get warmer and feel better.

As for Sucrose, she is a very shy girl and is not the most fond of talking to others. You sometimes even think of how lucky you were to even manage to date her. But you appreciate every second of it. Sucrose is usually busy doing experiments but always comes home at a reasonable time. Since you are usually not home before her, she’ll end up tidying up the place. Cleaning up every spot and then cooking a nice and good healthy meal for you. When it comes to dating, it’s usually spent having Sucrose find things for her experiments. But occasionally during those dates she’ll plant kisses on your neck or ears. When you two cuddle, she prefers it when you play with her ears because it makes her sleep better and easier. She also likes it when you press kisses to fluffy ears as well.

༄ — WATCHING FIREWORKS WITH THEIR S/O

#includes — tohma, ayaka, yoimiya, raiden shogun

#warnings — spoilers for yoimiyas quest(?)

#pronouns — they/them

#TOHMA

he has a spot reserved for you, a blanket set up, and a basket full of snack — that’s how much this man is prepared

tohma treats watching fireworks as if it were a national holiday, taking each and every firework event seriously

so when it rolls around, he’s giving his special slip to yoimiya and asking for a big show — not only for him, but for you as well

while watching said fireworks, tohma is so affectionate — never once does his arm leave your shoulders and his head stays leaned against yours

tohma points out his firework everytime, before waiting for yours to pop up — and when he sees one that is what he describes as (almost as beautiful as you) he can’t help but remember it so he can talk to yoimiya about it

he wants it to be yours and his new firework

#AYAKA

now ayaka has the best place to watch fireworks (courtesy to not only her status but also yoimiya)

on the way up to the spot, ayaka would settle for placing her hands over your eyes — she wants it to be a surprise of some sorts, even if you know why she’s taking you out

the spot would be set up with blankets and snacks — maybe even a tent of sorts if she’s feeling really fancy

ayaka would have already previously talked to yoimiya, giving her yours and her own slip, while also requesting the popular ones

she’d be pretty quiet during it, but also affectionate (like tohma) — she wants to watch the fireworks, but also wants to just cuddle with you

#YOIMIYA

watching the fireworks with the firework princess herself? you know you’re going to have an amazing time

while every fire work show is absolutely amazing, yoimiya pulls out absolutely everything she has for you — the numbers probably double just because of her

she brings you up to her special place that has view over everything — no lights or anything set up for maximum enjoyment

while yoimiya isn’t the most affectionate during the show, you can bet that once the fireworks fade out and it’s just the two of you left, she has a few single ones for the two of you (plus fire cracklers)

yoimiya will stand by your side as she lights the end of yours before lighting her own — her spelling out your name, drawing hearts, and little messages for you to try and figure out

sits under the stars for a little while after to just bask in your presence

#RAIDENSHOGUN

picture sitting on her balcony with an actual assortment of foods, the comfiest cushions, and a place in her arms

baal would let her servants or guards know (even sara) to leave the two of you to yourselves, not wanting any distractions during her time with you

when the fireworks start, baal would be so affectionate — running her hands through your hair, hand in yours, and arm wrapped around you (braid or play with her hair and she’s not even focusing on the show anymore)

more into the show, baal would drag you down to lay with her, both facing eachother and she would just softly whisper to you — doesn’t matter about what, be it compliments, a recent encounter with someone, or just a topic

that space on the balcony would become your space for the night, baal falling asleep shortly after the fireworks end

oh what i would do to watch the fireworks with her
