Tea Prompts!

sad

I actually don't have any of my close friend's twitter accounts 😭😭😭

goigle drive can eat my shit

genshin people as your coworkers

includes: kazuha, itto, albedo, scaramouche

i'm officially starting the most boring part of my life. working in a 9 to 5 job counting the stock of products in the company until its dinnertime and writing excel reports during OT.

being a fresh graduate of college, i have chosen to be an intern at utopeeia sdn. bhd to afford my meals and detergent.

the scariest part is the introducing yourself part. hobbies? favourite colour? it's hard to choose, as i am a multi talented individual and likes every colour because i'm not biased.

hey, im ____. i like public speaking, skydiving, writing essays, angering my boss and other scary and extreme things.

yup, im going to let that be my future coworkers first impression of me.

all right, so for the next few days, i'll write my experiences with my friends in the corp!

kazuha

- sometimes helps me with my reports when he's free (such a sweetheart!)

- i WILL give him chocolate on valentine's!

- writes everyone poems on their birthdays

- treats coworkers to dinner

- in a party, always the sober one

-

itto

- will ride a scooter after work or put me in a trolley and push me into a puddle

- lets our onikabutos battle, he treats the battles like pokemon eraser battles. his onikabuto almost got confiscated once

- pranks our boss sometimes (i don't know how he got his hands on a fake cockroach. as far as i know, he can't save money for shit.)

- always in the pantry

- is the one who stocks up the shared fridge

albedo

- he's very normal.

- he sometimes acts so different from his usual self i kind of suspect he just got tired and slept in bed the whole day and his clone comes in the workplace.

- doesn't ever come to our after work parties

- everyone always talks about his "angelic" voice when he's not here

- he's easygoing and is very cheeky IF you know he's joking and being smug

- always gives away candy? why does he have so much of them???

scaramouche

- our bad tempered boss

- scolds us for scaring the customers when it's him who scared them away.. rolls eyes

- he's too grandeur. his whole room is made of glass, an amateur way to display wealth.

- noone likes him except our super straight coworker nina who gushes over every boy who passes by her even if they're assholes

- probably has a wife somehow. (we stole some glances at his photo frame on his desk and it was some wedding photo?! and he was kissing the bride?!)

- at least he's generous and doesn't give us a shitty payroll for the fussy things he makes us do

applying for jobas

what happens when you apply for a job in teyvat!

includes: hu tao, xiangling, rosaria, albedo

masterlist here.

hu tao

"good evening, kid! what are you doing here?" "i'm here to apply for a job." "ohh, great! we have been so understaffed lately, it's just me and zhongli, everyone else who sees corpses everyday can't stand it!" "haha. i also see corpses everyday, so i will be fine. my whole family is dead." "oh, sorry. anyways, wear our uniform! here, 20 bucks please."

"um.. no. not before i see the salary." "sorry! err... it's $300000 mora a month." "what? are you for real? what a deal!"

hu tao smirked. after all, they only give staff such a high salary because they overprice their funerals. people who think zhongli is poor because he works here are so dumb! someone like him will not ever accept a paycheck.

xiangling

walking to wanmin restaurant, you wanted to talk to chef mao but accidentally read the wanmin restaurant poster instead.

"chef mao, i'm here to be an apprentice." "sorry kid, we don't accept any staff. me and my daughter is enough. and we certainly don't want some stranger to ruin our recipes." "by 'recipe' you mean a fucking slime secretions sandwich? hell naw ywou do your thing. i'll work for the liuli pavilion."

"fine by me. we don't need you," chef mao says.

when he said that, a girl's head popped out from under the counter.

"dadd!!! we are in need of kitchen help. if she will ruin our recipes, we can still let her cut and prepare the ingredients! you won't need to wake up at 4 every morning to shave potatoes again..." "i suppose you're right," he sighed. "welcome aboard. but before that, how fast can you cut a carrot?" "like a normal person. i'm slow, but practice makes perfect, right.."

"yes it does. now please, cut up this chicken into cubes. our popcorn chicken is very popular."

rosaria

"you? work in church? why are you even asking me? when i go to church i don't even sing with my sisters."

"well you were standing outside the church like you wanted to go inside so i thought you were a nun hiring people."

"no, i wanted to go inside because it was burning hot outside. and i was waiting for the nuns to finish singing about bartabatos." "who is that?" "you want to become a nun and don't know who that is? oh gods."

albedo

i'm truly scared of that stone faced alchemist. but i've graduated from sumeru academy, so he can't not accept me right? although i did not pass with flying colours. albedo is always wandering around collecting birds in cages and turning them into geovishaps.. how scary. but alchemy is the only thing i'm good at, and i need a job! here goes..

"hey. i'm someone who likes alchemy. wanna hire me?" "only if you're better than timaeus and won't push this green haired girl and awaken a giant dead ice flower." "umm.. surely not. that seems impossible." "well, it sure isn't. i've experienced it." "i would be surprised if you haven't. you talk about it like it's real."

"turn this boar into a lamb please, it's a test."

after a few hours, you made the boar look like a lamb. "good job. i can surely do things faster than that, but hey, at least you're better than timaeus. all he does is stand near the alchemy table and interrupt people when they want to craft something."

"i feel you... and people." you say.

⛷️🐝d Toilet fun!

(random scenarios i have in my head as someone with a bad imagination)

"Shall we ditch this juicy block of steak to head over to the urinals for some due fun?" he indicated to the signboard in front of your table indicating two genders separated by a line, shimmering pale grey eyes blinking in mischief.

Relax, he meant to make you follow him as company for his trip to the loo, nothing more. How could anyone mistake his boyish maroon curls for a dirty scheming jerk? The ruffled tangles he own probably came from innocent ruffles from his aunt in their frustratingly functional, happy household.

"No," you tease, then breaking into a hysterical laugh as if you just cracked the most hilarious joke known to man. Toothy grin in place, you swished your wine red gown to trail behind you as you rose from your puffy seat.

As he walked away from the table, he walked with one calloused hand outstretched behind him, welcoming aura made obvious. He didn't even have to look back to make sure your mountain-scaling-hard hands were placed in his. You observed the way his midnight blue suit sleeve stretched richly over his lean forearm and took his hand in glee.

Upon reaching the entrance, he spun you to a stop, your braided chignon unfurling into dark, untamed waves upon your bare neck before he took a ravenous glance at your pouting lips and you admired his perfectly inclined foxy eyes obviously oblivious to your admiration. Your lip quivered at his perusal, as if every thought of his was your command.

Looking at the checkered toilet floor, you broke the electrifying eye-makeout that left you stumbling mentally and dragged the top piece of your dress with both hands down to disguise your discomfort. In letting go of the satin piece that stuck to your flesh like a desperate crush, you cursed at it for making you feel itchy and hot.

He flashed you a tooth in his large smile and leaned his head toward the stall to indicate his departure. You relaxed and drooped to rest your back on the smooth pink-painted wall adorned with abstract paintings you find meaningless. Who would put in effort to decipher this heap of strokes drawn in succession with no thought put into it, if they already had a life full of meaning and hope?

Musing in your sneaker clad feet sure makes time pass fast... or maybe Nic was just the fortunate owner of an efficient sphincter muscle. Striding out of the half open wooden door without a sound, he splashed water onto your countenance from a water reserve in his palms and screaming, "BOO!" while horror dawns on your unsuspecting wide black eyes.

After getting you in the state of shock, his impossibly light eyes arched entertainingly upwards and eyed you mischievously as he quickly stretched his arms forward to pull you down with him as he fell backwards.

Everything happened in slow-motion, as all highly anticipated moments in your life do –

Expecting a fall from your unexpectedly less than restricting retro dress, your normally unreactive brows furrowed in anticipation, narrowing your long-lashed eyes in response. The whole world turned quickly like a rogue panorama with romantic chandeliers all over - until your vision was filled with him and only him.

You've always noticed his eyes were an electrifyingly rare shad of grey almost close to raw egg white, but also so baby blue they were angelically pure. Once the two of you were bouldering a really steep course, and Nic was about to fall, his fingers loosening its grip on the handhold. When you saw his helpless puppy dog eyes definitely not suiting his foxy demeanor drooping in a watery pool, you couldn't help but felt forced to reach out a hand to pull him by the neck like a baby pup.

You weren't exceptionally strong to begin with, definitely not strong enough for men bigger than you, and never strong enough for Nic, who was larger than life. If he drifted away, you wouldn't even have the strength to pull him back into your life. Holding Nic by his sweaty neck plagued by wild maroon curls extending downwards, you lasted for 3 seconds before you slipped down the course onto a soft gymnastics mat next to an out-of-breath Nic.

Hair luminescent like light shining on fresh blood, you held eye contact with him and found that he smiled back, head tilted to his left and cheeks extended enough to show you his light dimple. You never held eye contact with people other than your family for long, and you never knew people appreciated it. What on earth were you missing out on?

Pondering the long history of viewing into his eyes did you no good as he spun you 180° over like a ballroom dancer and you were on top of him as he stayed cornered into the wall, head tipped back in defiance, daring you to exceed his expectations. He definitely wouldn't have thought you'd be admiring his kissably visible jawline. At this point you were still standing straight, until you weren't. As if every moment was escalating into your wildest fantasies, he closed the distance between your bodies by reining in your waist, generating a thundering, warm shiver in you. Nevertheless, you arched your neck back so you wouldn't have to kiss him. He was made for admiring, not indulgence.

"It's okay, you know me," he purred softly, sounding like a dangerous whisper in your ear despite the distance between your faces. "Not like this," you murmured and looked down to his messed up collar, his priceless necklace creating depth in the endlessly contoured desert that is his collarbone. "Look at me," he chided, sharp eyes knifing into your betrayingly flattered skin. Out of all people, he has eyes on me. Isn't that so... exclusive? "Remember when you held me by the neck before we fell together?" his eyes explored your relenting nose tipped high upon your face, and you could feel his eyes pecking secret kisses onto the bridge of your nose.

Your lips widened in protest, and he held your nape gently as you pulled his collar close to your body. Smiling your endless black hole eyes at his candy reddened lips, you indulge in the feeling of his fingers caressing the curve of your head in a secure clutch, your chest pressed against a new, foreign surface.

That day, you almost relented and put your head in his shoulder. You could feel his curls welcoming you if you rolled to his side. The thing is, you've never been brave when it came to love.

Now, you could explore all you wanted. Because this was real. His head dipping down to infuse your lips with his cinnamon flavour was real, and he tasted better than your bad imagination. The way his sharp nose was crashing into yours was real, and you've never wanted to feel better. You are living in the better. "I wanted this," you spoke your illegal thoughts through your busy mouth, and he drew his head back to look at your characteristically shadowed face. The shadows suited you well. You could tell from his hungry gaze.

Putting his comforting palm on your cheek, you felt the cold of his ruby ring and it led you to seek warmth in exploring the shadowed lines of his jaw. A mystery. "I've wanted this since the day I laid my eyes on you," he declared discreetly, voice ravenous and eyes wild.

BATMAN MOVIE REVIEW

7/10 movie

this movie was great. i guess.

other reviews: https://kaidousecoli.tumblr.com/bookre

diary: https://kaidousecoli.tumblr.com/diary

it starts off extremely heavy. dark colours, red lights. rainy atmosphere, gothic aesthetic, loud OSTs, batman walking around with heavy footsteps hitting bad guys in his stiff armor. there was this feel. so... renaissance! i love it.

but i feel like after the 1.5 hour mark things get more.. normal? maybe i just got used to the spectacular directing, i don't know. i just got less overwhelmed and more like, i knew they would pull this off, not surprised. there were still times where they synced the sound effects of batman slamming this guy's head to a car with the beat of the OST which were really sneaky and cool.

i know it's a heroes movie and there is no good ending without a "lesson on morals" at the end with batman spitting a whole morals thesis but it was so.. hero-like. not my style!

OST - perfectly timed, catchy, mysterious.

STORY - interesting with the riddle thing but when bruce slowly progressed through the riddles it got boring. pattinson makes a good batman though! really love the threatening alpha thing he has going on. xoxo

SONGS - if my memory serves me right they only played one song in this movie. two times. and i liked it! so it's okay...!

AESTHETICS - OMG!!! 10/10.... !!!!! upbeat colours, beautiful settings, graphics.. visuals...

might i suggest:

albedo's love language is physical touch and he's a lot more affectionate than he seems

but he doesn't really notice that he's being affectionate

he'll tangle your fingers with his while he writes with the opposite hand

press feather light kisses to your temple or cheeks

but it's completely unintentional, like he's not doing it with the intent of being a sweetheart, he just ... does it

he'll bring your hand to his lips and kiss your fingers almost absentmindedly, and wonder why you're so fidgety and embarrassed

he's totally kissed every part of your hand at some point

palms, finger tips, wrist, knuckles.. just because he can

when you ask why he does this, he'll be genuinely confused

"do you not like it?"

of course you like it, what the fuck .

albedo's behavior suggests that he’s been waiting to do this with someone -- with you -- for a while

you were the piece he was missing, which is why he behaves as though nothing he does is strange or new

yes, he actively seeks out your hand while he's working

you don't stop him from working either, he just really, really, really likes having you around. maybe he won't say it, but you don't ever question it when he brings your hand to his lips again

yall😻😻😻

TODAYS STREAM! “WHERE’S MY UNDERWEAR?!”

☆ CATCHING ALBEDO JERKING OFF ; VALENTINES COLAB

PAUSE! This a little messy since your girl hasn’t been writing smut in a good century 🤪🔨 secretly lowkey dying bcs of how bad this is lolz 😝🔫 reader lowkey changed personas lowkey 1000 times in the course of a sentence but don’t mind that 👩‍🦯

Edit; accidentally posted on the wrong day oops

QUOTE! “WERE YOU JUST MASTURBATING?”

Albedo felt awful.

He felt disgusted with himself.

Albedo sat in his bed with a frustrated look on his face, just what was he doing? Sitting on his bed, your underwear wrapped around his cock as he imagined it was you. Telling him how perverted the well known and respected alchemist disgusted you. How stupid he was that before he started jerking off he was conflicted on whether he wanted your panties on his face or wrapped around his dick.

So here he was, sprawled out on the bed, while he wrapped his hand, the one that stole your underwear from your drawers, around his dick, his hand moving up and down sloppily.

As he was imagining you jerking him off, talking to him, he didn’t even realize how realistic it started to get. “Were you just masturbating?” he heard your voice nearby. Well of course he was, you should know if you’re a part of his mind. His eyes moved to where the sound came from, the doorway, he saw your figure standing there with your arms crossed.

Now the imagination of your body disappears in his mind. Instead he saw the real thing, the very much real person staring at him, face unreadable. Albedo tried reading your facial expression, but he couldn’t tell if you were angry, sad, joyful, disgusted, anything.

Though what Albedo did know was that he needed to hide his naked body from you. He quickly pulled the covers over his body, frantically trying to grab your underwear away from your view.

While Albedo was panicking about hiding his body and your underwear, he didn’t even notice how close you were. That was until he felt a dip in his bed.

“My my, I was wondering where my underwear has been going,” you stole your underwear back from Albedo whose face was an uncharacteristically red, “I went to your room to ask if you knew anything about it, but it seems you were the one who has been stealing them” Your voice was monotone just as your expression has been.

What would you do now? Tell everyone how perverted he was? Would you never talk to him again? Thoughts were racing in his mind about all the possible outcomes. The tension not helping his mind ease up a single bit.

“If you wanted me so bad you should’ve just asked” A teasing smile was on your face, showing the first emotion since you walked in. Albedo could only stutter random nonsense, puzzled on why you weren’t screaming at him.

Your hand moved to his cock as you made strong eye contact with him, stroking his dick slowly. “You know you’re going to get punished right?” Albedo gave a nod, guilt overwhelming him, but at the same time lost in the pleasure of your hand going teasingly slow, “Afterall, I had to buy many new pairs because of how much were taken”

“I’m s-s-sorry Y-Y/n-” before he could finish his apology, your hand tightened around his cock making Albedo let out a loud groan.

“It’s mistress right now to you” you reply in a stern tone, watching as Albedo yelped out a yes mistress, before going back to jerking him off. “You’re not allowed to cum unless I say so, you filthy pervert, stealing underwear from me, got it?”

Albedo nodded hastily, accepting the outcome, feeling butterflies fill up his stomach as you called him a pervert and filthy. “Ye-yes m-mist-tress” he moaned out as his back slightly arched.

“Good, look at how much of a pervert you are, getting turned on by me calling you names” feeling his cock twitch earlier and now as you kept calling him names. You started to speed up your hand, no longer going at an unbearable slowness.

“Mistress! Please!” Albedo whined, tears slightly pricking his eyes as he felt the burning feeling of edging since he was jerking off earlier and now you are giving him a handjob. “What? What do you want whore?” you asked boredly, no longer caring as you picked at your nails.

“C-can you pl-pl-pl-” the ashy blonde could only stutter, focusing on the word please. “Aww what a dumb whore, can’t even talk properly” you played with his hair, twirling the strands around your pointer finger, your bored expression only making Albedo more frustrated on not being able to talk.

“Pl-please… y-your p-p-pussy” he moaned out, his teal eyes focusing on your face, waiting for your response through he teary vision. You hummed for a bit, making Albedo wait in anticipation as he continued to moan from your hands that skillfully jerked him off.

“Alright I guess, since the dumb whore could actually manage to get a sentance out finally” your hand lets go of his cock, it made Albedo whine for a moment as you undressed before he felt your legs staddle his body, sinking down onto his dick.

You watched Albedo’s face slowly change, his eyes slightly rolled back, a loud smooth moan escaping his pink lips as his hands clenched onto your thighs tightly.

——— am I going to end it early??? yeees,,, was I planning on writing more??? Absolutely,,, did I proofread this??? Ofc not,,, was this rushed??? That’s a secret I’ll never tell, xoxo, gossip girl

lessons learnt at educastle's seminar!

25/6 last sunday, i attended educastle's seminar on how to be motivated to learn!

through this talk, i learnt that LEARNING is a choice. it will NOT end after writing that PhD thesis📃. what matters is your curiosity🔍. noone is content with knowing only surface level textbook knowledge, they must also want to know the depths of the iceberg! 🤔

you are a student🧑🏼‍🎓not because you are binded to high school🏫, but because you are learning. an old man without a degree can also be a student. you choose to learn than stay idle, so congratulations, learner! 📚

a way to be constantly motivated to learn is to develop curiosity for the workings of life🤯. for me, i am extremely interested in the fields of mechanics and engineering🥼, so i will learn that as an interest.

a fact i learnt was that you will remember more of something when you question it🤔, more than if the speaker was directly spitting out facts you don't want to know about.🥱

to understand in depth about real-life problems🤨, you can use the 7 layer technique in which you question your answer 7 times💭. you can use this to develop higher order thinking skills🤔 and also know the contributing factors to your dilemmas.

why do i crave validation? because __. why __? because ___. why...... .... x7

Helloooo there ! I saw that ur request were open and I was wondering if u could do one where albedo ,xiao and diluc watch a romantic movie with their s/o and and in the movie there is a kissing scene. how embarrassed they would be or not ?

Feel free to ignore <3

Watching a romantic movie with them.

💌 Characters: Albedo, Xiao, Diluc

💭 Synopsis: How the characters react when a kissing scene shows up while watching a romance movie.

🪧 Warnings: None!

Albedo

wordcount: 1.1k

He's honestly too busy and caught up in his own lab work to be watching movies with you, but the one rare time when he's free is when you decide to put on a romance movie.

Once you mention the title, he immediately recognizes it. Not that he's watched it himself, but because he sometimes hears Sucrose gush about them. Despite being aware of the genre, he doesn't tell you to pick another.

Surprisingly enough, romantic movies just flip a switch in his brain. The lovey-dovey scenes specifically turn him into a different person. With the way he sees it, it actually helps him understand relationships... Or at least that's what he thought relationships should be like. You admit that it's a little bit embarrassing on your end when he tries to imitate what he sees on you.

"Albedo! You came." You exclaimed happily as you pulled him into an embrace before you moved aside to let him enter your humble abode. He chuckled as he removed his shoes by the door.

"Of course, I said I would after all. Did you think I wouldn't?" He asked, looking up at you as he untied his shoe laces and slipped on the guest slippers you often let him borrow. You laughed awkwardly as you rubbed the back of your neck.

"Hm, I suppose a little bit." Admitting, you feel his arm lock into yours. Your eyes widen at his gesture slightly from shock. Albedo wasn't the type to be affectionate with you in public - or in general, so for him to wrap his arm around yours warmly was... different. Not that you hated it, in fact, you could let him be this close to you all day long.

"It's a pity that you have no faith in me." He jokes, or at least tries to. His tone of voice whenever he was being sarcastic never changed, it was always the same old airy, serious voice. Upon hearing this, you to frown at him, squeezing his arm in yours.

"I never said that! It's just that you have work and --"

"It's all right, I get it. I was kidding." His eyes lock into yours as he chuckles again at your pouting expression. Albedo was kidding again? What a rare sight. How could he have gotten in such this mood. "All right, let's watch that movie then shall we?"

Once you two make it to your bedroom, you stumble to turn on the TV as you shove the tape in the player. Leaning against the side of the bed, the two of you sat comfortably on the floor as you pulled the covers over your laps. For some reason, Albedo decided now was a good time to be reserved with his already scarce affections, so you took it upon yourself to be the one to initiate it.

As the movie began to play, you press your back to his chest, taking his hands into yours and pulling it to wrap around you. He didn't protest against your actions, he simply let it happen. He'd usually sport a poker face, but if he was being honest with himself, his heart was exploding in his chest. A feeling he couldn't describe.

Halfway through the movie, the two main leads were finally about to kiss after pining for about the entire first hour of the movie. It felt familiar. As one of them pushed the other onto the bed, you felt the tension build up in your stomach. Tilting your head to look at your lover from where you were against his chest, he was as unreactive as ever. Not a single hint of blush on his face. His eyes stayed fixated blankly on the screen as the two characters deepened their kiss.

He notices your consistent gaze at him, and his eyes meet yours, seeing a confused expression on your face.

"Is something wrong?" He asked. A hand brushes through your hair gently like it belonged there.

"It's nothing..." You mutter before you look away, disappointedly. You couldn't deny how you somewhat hoped for him to have the littlest bit of red on his cheeks. It was cute after all, something you could use against him. He blinked at you absentmindedly before he shrugs and turns to pay attention to the movie again. Archons, Albedo was both a confused and confused guy.

Soon enough, the credits were rolling, and you released yourself from Albedo's arms, much to his own disappointment but he didn't show it. He watched as you stood up from your cramped position on the floor, and stretched your arms up in the air.

"That was a lot more boring than I expected." You say through a yawn, followed by the sound of your knuckles and joints cracking as you stretch. He remains silent for a few moments before he stands up from the floor as well.

"I enjoyed it." He says plainly. A brow raises at his words. "You did now?"

"Yes."

"Didn't think you'd be into it of all people," The slightest change of expression was something you noticed on his face. You ask, "And why is that?"

He turns away from your face without a word as silence filled the room. It wasn't an awkward kind of silence, sometimes choosing to not say anything was Albedo's go-to response and you had grown used to it. You understood how hard it was for him to vocalize his feelings anyway. You sigh, leaning down to pick up the covers, but before you're able to put them away, a hand comes to grab your wrist tightly.

Your eyes shoot up to look at your lover, confused. Your ears begin to heat up as his gaze meets yours.

"What is it?" He doesn't let go, instead, he gently pushes your chest, causing you to fall back first into your bed. A shocked gasp escapes you as you Albedo's hands plant themselves on either side of your head, hover on top of you.

Instantly, you knew what he was doing. He was doing it again. Whenever he saw something couples would do, he'd try to copy it in hopes of understanding what would please you. As much as you loved how hard he tried, you couldn't help but find it a tiny bit funny.

Slowly, he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to your lips. A smile tugs at the ends of your lips as he quickly pulls away. A mad blush tinted your face as his empty eyes stared into yours.

"Hm, how was that? Was it like the movie?" He asked. You blinked at him before breaking into a giggle.

Xiao

wordcount: 0.6k

It'll take so many tries and lots of almond tofu to get this man to watch a movie with you. As much as he loved - but never outwardly admitted it - to spend time with you, he just knew you were setting him up for a great amount of teasing when you recommended a romantic movie.

Much to your surprise, he didn't decline your movie night offer. Maybe he actually wanted to watch one with you... Well, it was painfully obvious that he did. The way his cheeks would brighten up when you suggested to watch one with him, and how he would try so hard to fight his somewhat embarrassed reaction.

When the movie finally started playing, he soon realized how much he absolutely dreaded the kissing scenes. He'd try so hard to keep a straight face, but the blush on his face proved otherwise. Whenever you'd point out how flustered he was getting, he'd try to play it off by criticizing how humans can't live without another. How weak they were without the other.

"Remind me again why I agreed to do this." He groaned at you as you pulled his arm, dragging him to your bedroom. As he entered, the TV was on, and the show was already rolling. Attempting to speak again, his mouth was immediately met with your finger, effectively shushing him into silence.

"Shhh. It's starting." You hum before he pushes your hand away from his mouth. The feeling of your touch lingered on his lips until you sat on the bed in front of the screen. He let out another complaining groan as he bent his knees to sit beside you. Suddenly, pulled him into your chest, cushioning his head with your torso. With a shocked yelp, he looked up at you with furrowed brows. The tips of his ears burning at your actions.

"What's with you?" He asked, grumbling as he tried to cover his face with his hand. You giggled as a reaction before you pat the top of his head softly.

"Hm, getting shy now are we?" You chirp, watching the way he continues to glare at you, flustered. "You can enjoy it, y'know?"

He doesn't bother trying to argue with you, instead he surrenders into your arms and his eyes wander back to the screen. Minutes pass, and it was finally the scene Xiao dreaded the most. The kissing scene. As the two of you watched in silence, you looked down at him to gauge his reaction. He notices you a little too quickly, his brows from a knot the moment he sees your smug expression.

"Why're are you looking at me like that?" He almost hisses, and you laugh at him. "Just wanted to see your reaction." At that moment, Xiao feels his cheeks burn in embarrassment before he pulls away from your arms.

"...My reaction to a kiss? What a lowly reason." He mutters, trying to hide his face as he turns away. "Humans are always finding new ways to waste their time."

"And it seems like a certain adeptus enjoys wasting his time the same way." You chirp, hearing Xiao grumble before you tug his arm harshly, pulling him into you. You have got to stop doing that, he thinks. He stares at you in silence before his face shows a little hint of amusement.

"Do I now?" He says in a deep voice, you could feel his breath tickle your nose with how close the two of you were. You lean forward and rest your forehead against his. "Want me to prove it?" Gulping loudly, he nods. Too caught up in the moment, the two of you soon forget about the movie you were watching.

Diluc

Even Diluc himself wonders how you were able to convince him to watch such a sappy movie with him, especially considering how busy he was a person. Guess you were the only one that had him wrapped around your finger after all.

Still, he wasn’t too fond of the idea of watching a movie with you, but he didn’t like it either. He knew a ton of teasing was coming his way when he agreed to your offer much like Xiao. Maybe a part of him actually enjoyed it. Enjoyed the feeling of feeling like mush under your fingertips. You were the one person who was allowed to see him like that. The last time being back when him and Kaeya were children...

The movie itself was boring to him though. He didn’t enjoy it as much as you did, but he was really only in it to spend time with you. Whenever any of the steamy kissing scenes showed up, he would try to cough, and pretend like he needed water so he could have an excuse to leave. You always saw through it, and you wondered why he even bothered.

If he was being honest, he stopped paying attention to the movie a long time ago, he was far more interested in playing with your hair as you leaned against him. Spinning and twirling a thick lock of your hair while your eyes were glued on to the movie. He watched the way your eyelashes fluttered as you blinked, and he focused on how your chest gently rose and fell with each inhale. It was a calming state for him, having you in his arms for once rather than the other way around. That was until you craned your head to face him, squinting your eyes at him. He tilted his head, confused.

“Is something wrong, my love?” He asked, concerned. “Are you even watching?”

His eyes widen a bit before his eyes wander to the side guiltily. You sigh. “I thought as much. C’mon it’s about to get to the good part.” The food part? For some reason, Diluc felt a little worried by what you meant, maybe this was his cue to finally start breaking down in a fake coughing fit. As he turned his attention to the TV where the two main characters were slowly inching closer to each other, he froze in place. In a hurry, he raises his hand to his mouth and starts to clear his throat. Feeling him gently try to get up from beside you, you immediately catch his wrist. 

“And where do you think you’re going?” You see his face turn a light shade of red as he tries to scramble out of your grasp. “I, uh, I'm going to get a glass of water.” He quickly lies. Your eyes bore into his as you stand up with him, his wrist still in your hold. “Is that so? Let me accompany you then.”

As the two of you made it to the manor’s kitchen, you chugged a nice cold glass of water before you wiped your mouth with the back of your hand. Diluc soon finished his refreshment with a loud sigh. Noticing the way you stared at him, he blinked. "Yes?”

“Why’re you so persistent on not watching the movie?” You ask, a frown grows on your face as you approach him. Wrapping an arm around his waist as he backs into the counter where he placed down his glass. “Is it really that boring to you?” 

“Is it not for you?” He reflects the question back to you, and you go quiet before bursting into laughter, squeezing him even tighter in your arms. “Of course not! Not when I get to see you all embarrassed over it.” He groans loudly as his entire face begins to burn, trying to break away from you, but your grip is strong. “Do you enjoy teasing me that much?” You nod lightheartedly, and Diluc sighs in response.

Once you unwrap him from your arms, his hands instantly fly up to cup your face, pulling you into a sweet kiss. As he separates from you, your mouth is left agape in shock, a subtle shade of pink on your cheeks. A small smile forms on his mouth before he chuckles. “Look who’s embarrassed now.”
