Genshin Roommates And Their Favourite Thing To Do With You- 2/2

how they'd react to cuddles~

characters: amber, sucrose, fischl, mona, ganyu, hu tao, ayaka

warnings: so fluffy that you could scoop this with a spoon, eat it, and your teeth would immediately get cavities. gn reader.

note: first post woo.... i'm really nervous hahahaha lets hope this goes well.

also, some of these are longer than the others, sorry about that!

apologies if i mess up with the pronouns, i’m used to writing fem reader aha...

amber

-she was really surprised when you suddenly turned over and started cuddling her.

-but she certainly wasn’t upset about it, that’s for sure.

-amber doesn’t really know what she should do, so…. she kinda just awkwardly sits there.

-eventually she cuddles back, it takes some setting in for her though.

-her body is warm and comfortable, eventually, she’s spooning you!

-amber doesn’t mind being the big or little spoon, but on the harder days, she prefers to be the little spoon.

“y-y/n? what are you..” amber squeaked as you wrapped your arms around her, capturing her in a hug.

“wanna… cuddle..” you mumbled sleepily, hugging her closer to you. she squeaked again, you starting to nuzzle against her.

the outrider’s face grew red with blush, and her heartbeat quickened. she wrapped her arms around you, like you did to her, and she pulled you close.

“i... i love you..” she whispered to you. you, however, were fast asleep, but you snuggled closer to her. she giggled at your adorable actions and kissed your forehead.

‘goodnight, bunny.’ amber thought, happily relishing in your warmth.

sucrose

-babey <3

-as soon as you pulled her down onto your lap while on the bed, she immediately blushed.

-and then blushed more when you gave her a kith on the forehead.

-she nuzzles into your shoulder as you lay down, her laying on top of you.

-eventually she will slide off to the side and lay next to you.

-sucrose likes to be the little spoon. it makes her feel loved and really warm!

-some days, you both will drink some hot chocolate and cuddle on the bed together.

-you love gently teasing sucrose, she blushes a whole lot!

-i like to think that sucrose purrs when she’s happy, so you’ll hear her purring while she sleeps a lot. especially if she’s with you!

“su~ you’re so cute..” you smiled that smile. that smile that always makes her heart melt. that smile that she had fallen oh so deep in love with.

“ah... am i really..?”

“of course you are, baby!” you kissed her hand. sucrose blushed, and she moved closer to lay against your chest. she mumbled something, but you couldn’t hear it.

laughing, you booped her nose and cuddled her tighter, both actions causing her face to flush harder, if that was even possible.

eventually she was clutching onto you tightly. she was so warm because of your teasing, and perhaps also because of the hot chocolate you had before.

“y-you’re always so…” she didn’t know the exact word she was looking for. mean? no, you were anything but that.. too kind? that may be true, but it wasn’t what she wanted to say.

“charming? thank you, sweetheart.” you chuckled. ah, yep, that was it. that was the word she was looking for. “i do try, somewhat~”

“mmm…” sucrose mumbled. she then turned to face you, which made you look at her skeptically. suddenly, she kissed you. it surprised you, that’s for sure, but you certainly weren’t mad. the kiss lasted for about a minute, and once she pulled away, she hid her face in the crook of your neck, settling down comfortably. “i.. i love you, y/n.”

“i love you too, su.”

fischl

-”i do not like cuddles..”

-she said to you when you asked her to cuddle.

-but when night fell and you were both asleep, she was holding onto you like her life depended on it.

-fischl would never admit this, but she loves being the little spoon. it gives her a sense of comfort.

-sometimes she will have her moments and want to be the big spoon though!

-mostly when she gets clingy.

-sometimes you’ll wake up holding her somehow.

-you don’t question it, however.

-just enjoy the moments holding your princess <3

“i thought you didn’t like cuddles?” you laughed as fischl gripped onto your pajamas harder.

“shut... shut up..” she mumbled, half asleep.

you kissed her on the forehead. “ah? but how can i tell you how cute you’re being right now if i shut up?”

she said something, you don’t know what it was, but it was something. whatever it was, you didn’t bother to ask, as fischl tried to move closer to you.

you wrapped your arms around fischl, making sure she was warm. she sighed comfortably, nuzzling you.

“goodnight, princess..” you hummed soothingly.

“n….night..” she replied quietly.

petting her head, you smiled down at her.

‘how cute.’

mona

-she loves cuddles, but she won’t explicitly say it.

-that’s why when you randomly snuggled up to her in the bed, she blushed intensely, and had a… slight panic.

-like ‘WHY ARE THEY SNUGGLING ME WHAT WAIT HUH-’

-after being REALLY FLUSTERED

-she calmed down, getting more.. lovey-dovey, if that makes sense?

-like, she starts calling you cute names, like “the light of my life”, “my star”, etc.

-and then it makes you blush.

-it’s cute!

-definitely big spoon, though she does enjoy being the little spoon sometimes.

-probably when she’s feeling a bit lonely.

“you are the light of my life.” mona said softly, hugging you tighter.

“i-is that so..?” you blushed at her words. mona always knew how to make your heart beat faster, how to make you blush. she was always so good at it, despite herself being easily flustered.

“yes. you’re my sun.. my moon, my stars, my everything. i love you, more than i love astrology.” she kissed the top of your head.

“monaaaa... you’re too sweet…” you whined. she chuckled.

“though, what i say IS true. i really do love you, y/n.” mona sighed happily. you could hear her heartbeat, and it brought you some comfort.

“mona?”

“yes, y/n?”

“i love you too.”

ganyu

-ganyu LOVES cuddling.

-especially with you!

-though, she hasn’t had much experience with it…

-our poor girl is too afraid of doing it wrong!

-one day however, she asks if you would ever want to cuddle her.

-you know, as a “for future reference!” type thing.

-she did not, however, expect for you to pull her down and cuddle her right then and there though!

-not to say that she didn’t enjoy it, however. she absolutely loved it!

-she prefers to be the big spoon, to her, it’s like she’s protecting you.

-ganyu is always so busy, she really treasures these times where you both can have soft, giggly cuddles.

-also, please gently caress her horns! it makes her feel so warm and fuzzy. just... be veeeeeery gentle, okay?

“hehe! yuyuuuu, i love you!” you giggled, reaching to gently pet her horns.

“i love you too!” she blushed, letting you pet her.

happily, you kissed her cheek. you stopped petting her, and snuggled into her chest. she laughed at your cuteness, kissing your head.

“i’m so happy i get to spend time with you like this..” ganyu said. she rubbed your back.

“me too! i wish you could come home earlier.. then we could do this all the time, right…?” you looked up at her.

“mm... yeah… i wish i could be home earlier too, love.” sighing, she looked into your eyes. “however, let’s just enjoy the moment now, yeah?”

you nodded, reaching up to kiss her on the lips. she kissed back, of course. it was a long and passionate kiss, it made you feel comfy and wanted. after a few moments of this, you pulled back, proceeding to lay your head back into her chest.

ganyu could only think about how much she loves you.

to her, you’re perfect.

and she wouldn’t trade you for anything.

hu tao

-yes! she absolutely loves cuddles!

-sometimes she’ll randomly come up and hug you, and if you’re both at home, you can definitely bet that’ll evolve into cuddles!

-hu tao is like a puppy sometimes. if she comes home before you, she’ll wait for you to get home, and then tackle you down and snuggle you.

-she’s been trying to stop her habit of tackling you, try and be patient with her!

-other than that, she doesn’t mind being the big or little spoon.

-she’ll pepper you with kisses everywhere while you cuddle.

-she also likes to just.. lay on top of you. it’s usually random, sometimes you’ll be minding your business, reading in bed or something, and here comes hu tao!

-she’ll flop onto you and make cute faces at you like “are you gonna do something? you won’t! i know you wont~”

-overall, hu tao is a great cuddle partner, though she tends to tease you a lot.

“hu tao… can you get up?”

“aww, why should i~?” she giggled, booping your nose. she was laying on you, her head comfortably on your chest.

you sighed. not really having a comeback, you simply just pat her head, which made her giggle adorably.

she then started to pepper your neck with kisses.

“pfft- that tickles-” you broke out into laughter when she interrupted you with her kisses. she smirked mischievously and continued to do it, your laughter filling her ears like music.

once she finally stopped, you cupped her cheeks with your hands.

“...eh?” hu tao looked confused. still holding her face, you gave her a short kiss on the lips, laughing when her face flushed red. “h-heyyy!”

“payback~” you smiled, releasing her face from your grasp. she pouted, sitting up and crossing her arms.

“y-you meanie!”

“am i really?”

“yeah! b-but i still.. love you…. i guess.”

“haha. i love you too, tao tao.”

ayaka

-def loves cuddles!

-another busy gal, she’s really never had any experience with cuddling.

-however, you reassured her that it’d be okay. besides, you’re the one taking the lead!

-when she comes home, she’s quite tired, so you make her some tea and then pull her into bed, and then you cuddle!

-ayaka is 100% a little spoon

-she likes your warmth <3

-it also makes her feel loved.

-since you’re her first lover, she does her best to make sure you feel loved and appreciated, so make sure you do your best to make her feel loved as well!

“what are you doing, aya?” you tilted your head as ayaka shifted in your lap.

“mmm…” she murmured something, resting her head under your chin. laughing, you wrapped your arms around her.

“you’re so precious. how did i get so lucky, being able to be with you?”

“don’t know… but… i’m happy..” she looked up at you with tired eyes, smiling.

“i am too, love.” you smiled back, petting her head. “but you should rest. it’s been a long day, hasn’t it?”

“you’re right, i suppose.” she reached up to kiss your cheek. “night.”

“goodnight, aya. i love you.”

“love you.. too…” and with that, ayaka fell asleep in your arms.

Headcanons of ayaka hiding behind the screen and reader is waiting for ayaka to hang out yoimiya basic tries for reader to admit they are in love with ayaka?

— ⚡️ CONFESSING YOUR FEELINGS FOR AYAKA TO YOIMIYA | BUT AYAKA HEARS

includes — ayaka, ft. yoimiya

warnings — n/a

pronouns — they/them

yoimiya (despite her usual excited and carefree attitude) was in all sense of the word a trouble maker — she liked to share secrets, loved to see drama play out, and was a sucker for love confessions

especially when that confession included two of her closest friends

the moment that you slipped up and told her about your feelings for you mutual friend, yoimiya was already coming up with a plan

she had alerted ayaka that the both of you would be coming to her residence some time in that day, but asked her to remain silent behind the curtain as she wanted to ask you something — ayaka being ever so trusting, went along without many questions

the large double doors creaked softly as you and yoimiya pushed them open — the baby blues and burgundy accents greeting you.

“ayaka!” you called out into the room — most of your view obstructed by the large curtains that hung around it. “ayaka?”

yoimiya hoped that ayaka kept to her word and stayed silent despite you callings. “maybe she’s not home... maybe had to run an errand?”

“yeah... maybe,” you shuffled over to the small cushions in the corner, deciding to make yourself comfortable in your wait for ayaka.

it wasn’t the first time ayaka has had to abandon set times with the two of you to tend to important family business — and not once did you grow annoyed or angry with it.

ayaka had a purpose and a job to do — that mixed with the fact that she could to almost anything and still get away with it in your eyes.

“so... y/n,” yoimiya slid closer to your side, her eyes gleaming with mischief, and a small tilt to the corner of her lips. “are you ever going to tell her? you k’now... the fact that you like her?”

ayaka could just barely conceal the squeak that left her mouth — she was smart, able to connect the dots within seconds and figured out who yoimiya was talking about in an instant.

however, the noise went unnoticed to you as your own shock clouded your knowledge of your surroundings.

“are we really talking about it this in her home?” shaking your head you turned away from the blonde. “and for your knowledge — no. she’s not into me like that, and i see no reason to ruin my friendship with her over it.”

yoimiya wanted to scream into a pillow at how daft you were. how could you not notice the looks that ayaka gave you? the way she looked at you as if you were an archon yourself.

ayaka was so in love with you it hurt.

“i’m done,” yoimiya stood up abruptly, walking closer towards the curtain hiding the rest of the room and yanked it to the side — the image of a flushed, blue haired girl taking its place. “you’re both insufferable— she likes you, you like her, perfect match in my books — now stop being dumb and just love each other already!”

“yoimiya-“ both ayaka and you were cut off as the blonde quickly rushed out of the room — leaving behind a small wave and a few obvious and teasing winks.

ayaka couldn’t bring herself to look at you — despite the news that not only did you like her back, but also the outing of her own crush on you.

“i’m sorry about her-“

“is it true?” ayaka cut you off, her eyes trained on you now, but still not quite meeting your own eyes. “is it true that you love me?”

“if i say yes, what happens to us?”

she couldn’t fight off the smile that came to her face at the mere thought of becoming something more. “if you say yes then i might just kiss you here in this moment,” ayaka eyes finally met your own.

“just this one moment?”

“just kiss me already.”

yoimiya listened from outside of the door, both pleased with her job, and excited that the two lovebirds were finally together.

however she may have just set herself up to be the third wheel for life.

YOU THINK I’M JOKING BUT I’M DEAD SERIOUS

fireworks | yoimiya

pairing: yoimiya x reader

category/extra notes: fluff, leaks for this one page abt yoimiya we got (im literally creating her whole persona based off of it) so warning for leaks!

a little summary: your eyes shine brighter than any fireworks she ever created.

note: stares back @xiaophobic

“come here!” she laughs at you, a hand outstretched in your direction. her eyes sparkle and she has the brightest smile adorning her face. she looks so happy, so carefree and you can’t help but smile too. you take her hand and she tugs you with her.

she’s always been so lively, so bright, even her own creations seeming dull around her. she was always the shiniest of them all, the prettiest.

you look at the way she laughs with children and the way they stare at her, toothy smiles and messy hair. she’s talking with almost everyone and the way they seem to lit up for a mere second when she chats with them is mesmerizing. she never stops walking though, seemingly still leading you somewhere. she wasn’t called the queen of the summer festival for nothing, you briefly think.

“where are we going?” you ask, holding her hand harder. you were afraid of loosing her in the crowd.

“to see the fireworks!” she answers, turning her head to you, “i worked extra hard on these ones!” she adds, pausing her walk. you two were standing somewhere higher than the rest of the people, the city blinking under you.

“you always say that,” you say teasingly. you know that it’s true though — somehow, she always topped herself, her fireworks performances getting better and better each time.

it’s just that... even though fireworks are fleeting, their blaze and warmth lives in people's hearts forever, she would say every time. and every time you looked at her with so much love and adoration that she shielded away from you, hiding her head in her hands.

“look!” she screams with excitement, pointing with the hand that was still holding onto yours into the sky.

you turn your head from her and look up. everything’s lit up with so much colors, so much sound and it’s just so much like her. you feel as if your breath is taken away, the same way it is each time when you look at her.

if you looked at her again you would see that even with all the fireworks around you, she was looking at you. and all she could think about was the fact that your eyes shined brighter than any of them she ever created.

OMG OMG can I ask for a female reader #11 “Quick! Kiss me!” With Kuki?? If you write for her I’ll love you foreverrrr omg

Prompt #11: “Quick! Kiss me!”

notes: sfw, fluff, female reader (she/her), short scenario as she is still not released yet but i still hope to do her justice!

a/n: I too love Shinobu after this archon quest :3 she’s such a lovely Leo summary: in which a little misunderstanding and panic turns into an unspoken confession between friends.

Running from the Tenryou Commission was no easy feat. As a member of the Arataki Gang, you knew how to maneuver tricky situations and make yourself a bit slippery when needed. Thus explains your situation now with Shinobu trailing behind you, waiting for an opening to snatch you away undetected.

Oho yes Raiden request incoming. How about Raiden like being reminded of her old friends and how they're no longer with her anymore which causes a break in her usual guard around the reader. This results in Raiden pleading for the reader to never leave her and just soft fluff from there.

Well this request was awkward. If you don't wanna follow exactly, go ahead and do just that

A/N: I'll format this post some other time lmao. Also, Reader appears very suddenly, I know that, but that's because I didn't know how to transition the scene lmao. Also-also, the relationship between Reader and Raiden is unclear. So feel free to imagine it whatever you want it to be.

Words: 456

Raiden:

Every morning brings about pain in her heart—aches and pangs of all kinds. This pain pressures her further to strive for eternity. Eternity is nearest unto Heaven after all, right?

The winter morning freezes in time, soft snow falling—muting the world it coats. She gazes out upon the white-painted world before her from atop her room balcony. She grits her teeth, feeling her heart swell with desperation for the old times with her dearest friends. A fist of her own clenches, resting on her chest, fingernails threatening to break her snowy pale skin.

She sniffs. Whether it's from the cold or her emotions, she doesn't know. It's both, it's definitely both, she concludes. Her eyes become dusky and hazy with dark thoughts and intense desperation. The world grows fuzzier and fuzzier with a white glaze. She gulps and frowns, collapsing to her knees and clenching her fists.

You appear at her side, a warm and fluffy wine-colored coat in your arms. You unfold the coat and wrap it around her shoulders. Out of respect, you do not speak to her. You turn, ready to leave her be, but she clutches at the edges of your clothing—looking up at you with knitted eyebrows and parted lips. Desperation fills her glassy violet eyes, tears threatening to spill.

"Please, don't leave me." She whimpers, voice barely above a whisper.

You blink, nodding slowly and returning to her side. You settle down onto your knees next to her, gazing at her with a diligent stare. Your eyes soften out of concern for her, wondering what's gotten her so down and out all of a sudden.

With hesitance, your hand reaches out to her. When your hand makes contact with her soft violet hair and pets her oh so softly, her eyes go wide. Yet, she's quick to relax—sighing in content as her eyes flutter shut. A soft smile caresses her thin lips and rosy tint coats her cheeks.

And for once, the morning is different than all the others. It's soft as the fluffy snow beyond you yet warm as a long-awaited embrace. She relishes in these quiet moments, leaning her head toward your comforting hand like a cat. You swear she could start purring at any moment.

Her eyes flitter open, staring out to the snowy landscape before her striking gaze flickers over to you—sparing you a pure smile and adoring gaze.

"Thank you. Let's...stay here a while longer."

💓&💖 with Ganyu

Thanks <3

💓- When they first know about their feelings about you

💖- A memory they treasure with you

Ganyu for the win let’s go

💓 First realizes it when she was napping with you.

You two had been becoming closer and closer, and more often than not Ganyu was really happy to spend time with you, her close friend outside work! You give her Qingxin, always make sure that she’s not overworking, and she feels comfortable around you to rant about her fears. And you listen to her wholeheartedly.

She feels so lucky to have you.

It’s just another day, both of you taking an afternoon nap. But for once, Ganyu woke up earlier than she used to.

And, well, it seems that your body had fell halfway along your nap, your head now on Ganyu’s lap.

Your gentle snores, the way your face held a never seen before peacefulness, the rise and fall of your chest. All of this was enchanting to Ganyu, and she couldn’t help but imprint this sight in her mind.

All of a sudden, there was this thought that passes through her mind.

“I wanna kiss y/n. And cuddle a lot with y/n.”

AHHAH CUE PANIC. She obviously knows about romance stuff but she’s never felt it till now. A shame that you’re not awake to see her cute blushing face now.

Her blushing face, a reflection of the love for you, that has been just realized. No one has seen this face, except for the sun, the clouds, and the big tree that provides shade for the both of you.

Ah, love.

💖 When you carry her to bed

Ganyu overworks we all know that. So just imagine her, working overtime at home on a Friday night, trying to clear her last few documents that need to be signed, checked and cleared.

All while fighting her sleepiness, since she didn’t sleep in the afternoon.

However, as she was about got Qingxin tea for an energy boost, she most definitely did not expect you to sneak up behind her and pick her up, literally.

“Ah, y/n! Put me down, I still have some work to do!”

A smile, a chuckle, and your cheeky tone rang out as you chastised her for working too hard, telling her that she “should really take it easy, besides I need my dose of Ganyu!”

All she could do is to relent to your care, her hands on her face, furiously blushing.

As you cradle her in bed, gently petting her horns, her eyes couldn’t help but slowly close, her eyelids fluttering prettily under the candlelight.

And as you kiss her horns, before moving on to her cheek, she couldn’t help but sigh in bliss, before falling asleep.

She's happy she has you.

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."

When you reject them

characters; Scaramouche, Kazuha, Childe, Yoimiya, Hu Tao

;contains a quite a few story spoilers! And a little yandere at Scara's part.

Zhongli, Ganyu and Ayaka were here originally but god idk what flaw i could use against disciplined peeps to get reader to dump them shshhsshs

Scaramouche

Ah. Of course.

This isn't the first time someone had rejected who he truly was. Who in the right mind would love a mere puppet? Maybe he shouldn't have revealed this truth he oh so despises.

He thought, that maybe, you were different, that you'd accept him and his feelings, not as The Balladeer or as the Shogun's prototype, but as Kunikuzushi, the forevermore chalked embodiment with a soul longing for appreciation.

But boy, was he wrong.

"I'm sorry, Kuni-, I mean, Scaramouche. But I simply wish to live in peace with my family." His arms stiffed under your sorrowful gaze as you handed him back the bouquet he bought for you. "And, being with you will prevent me from doing that."

"...I see." He looked away as he somehow heard his heart crack into small pieces.

"D-don't get me wrong!" You flailed your arms in concern, "You're a good person! But, I'm afraid I can't overlook your title as a Harbinger..."

You both had gone silent after. Well what could you say? You can't just apologize for breaking a man's heart. Especially to someone who's already as fragile as he is.

You felt your eyes widen when he slowly started approaching your figure. "What are you-"

You were cut off as he patted your head with a small rare smile upon his features.

"It's okay. Your cautiousness is one of the things I liked about you after all." He retracted his hand as he stepped back, slowly donning his hat once again. "I guess, this is farewell, as Kunikuzushi atleast." You noticed his hand gripped the bouquet tightly as he bowed towards you, before he turned around and started walking away, leaving you under the falling petals of sakuras.

What did he mean by "atleast"?

Kazuha

He slowly writhed in pain as he looked at you interact with Gorou. You both looked terribly down for each other, it was so obvious that you harbored feelings for each other that the whole resistance army ships you both.

He clutches the bamboo flute you had made for him specifically in his hand, reminding himself that not all hope has been lost, especially with the look of adoration you adorned him with as he played the flute during a sunset in Watatsumi Island.

"Y/n." You heard him call out from up the trees as you were making your way towards the camp.

"Oh, Kazuha." You smiled as you waved at him, which he took as signal to jump down in front of you.

"There's something I wanna tell you."

"What a coincidence. Me too!" You laughed a bit, too giddily...he thought. "You can go first though."

"I- uh, no. You can go first." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. Could you possibly be...?

"O-oh well, actually..." You put your arms behind your back as your face flushed a bit. Kazuha gulped at your actions. Are you actually gonna...?

"Me and Gorou started dating!" You giggled happily, as he froze in shock, but alas, you didn't notice. "I actually wanted to tell you this quite a bit ago, since you're a close friend of ours, but-"

The rest of your words were tuned out as Kazuha stood completely still, not quite processing your words.

"You guys...are dating...?" He repeated, still not believing.

You stopped your babbling as you looked at him with a raised brow. "Yeah...we are. Are you okay? You don't look too well." You stepped closer to inspect his horrified look.

His doubts and thoughts spiraled as he tried to wrap his head around those words. He couldn't believe it. No way, he can't. He couldn't believe that...

he had lost you to him already. (this isn't really a rejection but i can't hurt my boy like that)

Childe

"Bleeghhhh! You'll never catch me!" Ajax stuck out a tongue as he dodged a snowball you had threw at him. "You always speak way to soon!" You ran behind a rock to dodge one of his throws as you scooped up another batch of snow.

Playing with him, never felt cold. Even in the everlasting cold winters in Schneznaya, simply being in his presence was warm and delightful, almost like a fireplace, haha. Kinda ironic, considering the sudden chill you felt down to the very bottom of your being when he walked past you silently after missing in the forest for 3 days straight.

He changed.

Just what had happened during those 3 days? It all still remains a mystery to you and his neighbourhood.

You frowned as he appeared before you once again, this time wearing an all too familiar uniform. Way proudly. Too proudly.

"Of course, you became a Harbinger. Of course." You sighed, disappointed with his choices. Where was the boy you loved who would always bring hot bread from his home to yours? And who was this man named Childe, in front of your doorstep?

"I-" His smile fell at your expression. "Aren't you proud?" You looked down at your feet as you spoke up, "I...how could i be proud? When you're now affiliated with the Fatui, as one of their lords at that?"

He blinked. Was this because he had stopped playing with you a few years back? "Are you...angry with me joining them?"

You looked at his lightless eyes as you cupped his face with gentle hands. "It's more like...I feel sad."

"About what?"

"It's nothing you have to worry about." You stepped back onto the other side of the doorstep, keeping your silent pleas for him to come back near your heart, long decided to be unsaid. "It's better to not be know, as it'll probably affect your line of work." You smiled as you tried to close the door, but suddenly his hand had stopped it.

"What are you saying?? I came here since I felt that..." He frowned. "That you felt the same way."

"What way? You mean loving you?"

"Yes."

"Childe." You stared at him blankly. "I'm engaged."

And he fell down into misery, yet again.

Yoimiya

"The fireworks are as spectacular as always, Yoimiya." You lifted your gaze to the sky blooming with colorful lights, "It seems you've went after a romantic theme for today." You say as you spotted multiple heart-shaped explosions in the sky.

"Oh, that's- uhmm..." Yoimiya looked down at her feet, with an uncharacteristically shy voice. "It's just..."

"Oya?" You felt your lips tug into a smirk. "Did our Queen of Narukami find herself a little crush? Mind telling me who has the honor of catching the attention of her majesty?"

"Eh???!" Her eyes widened as she felt herself get hotter.

"Pfft, you should really look at yourself right now." You laughed a bit at her sudden shyness.

"D-do you really wanna know who it is?"

You blinked at her demeanour. "Not if you're uncomfortable with it."

"It's fine." She put down her sparklers as she stood up, fully taking the view of the fireworks. "This person...has always been by my side." She started. "They...had always supported me with my passion for fireworks. Even though I failed many times, resulting in some severe burns, they were always the one patching me up, and telling me that I shouldn't give up, even if I didn't plan to, hehe."

You felt your chest tighten as you connected the dots. There's no way she's talking about...

"Hey, Y/n." She turned to you with a smile that mirrors the beauty of the fireworks, "I like you. I really do."

"..."

"I already know...that you like Ayaka, but...!"

"Yoimiya." You halted her words. You felt your mood dampen with the visible hurt in her eyes. "I...only see you as a sister of mine. I don't think i can-" You sighed, not wanting to have to tell her this way. "I don't think i can see you as anything beyond that."

You could only watch as she smiles to herself, and silently cry, knowing she'd never win against an actual princess.

Hu Tao

"Ah-!" You exclaimed as you felt something heavy jump on you from behind.

"Hello, my lovely Y/n!" She giggled as she stuck on to you like a koala, "Nice to see you today!"

You sighed as pried her off from you. "Hu Tao, not now. I'm busy." You heard her huff as she crossed her arms.

"Collecting debts is sooo boring! Why don't you come work at the parlor instead?" She winked at you, as if she just suggested some completely genius. "I'll give you an extra bonus on your pay if you bring new customers, ehe!"

"Stop disrupting my work. Besides, the Tsaritsa has given me enough money already."

"Then why continue working for themmmmm, boo hooo!"

"Hu Tao, just leave me alone. I don't feel like dealing with you today."

She felt a pang in her heart, yet her smile didn't waver. "Oh, come on! Just admit it, you like me being around-"

"No. You're annoying." You stated as you looked towards her. "I seriously don't get why you keep going after me. Can't you go annoy someone else, like Zhongli?"

Her ruby eyes widened at your harsh words. "I-I just wanted to-"

"To cheer me up?" You fixed your position to fully face her. "Being in the Fatui has shown me all the ugly sides of this world. You're only constantly reminding me of my siblings that I'll never see again."

Hu Tao looked down at her feet, knowing fully well that she did nothing but pester you.

"My anger towards you right now may be misplaced, but you'll need to know that I also need space."

"I already know all of that." She spoke up, with a new determined look in her orbs. "It's precisely why I keep insisting you to be with me so you could be happy. You're all alone...and i just wanted to change that."

You frowned at her words, "Why are you trying so hard to-"

"Because I love you!"

Your eyes widened as she gritted her teeth. "I've always loved you!"

"Hu Tao."

"-Ever since that time you found me at Wuwang hill, and helped me move on from my grandfathe-"

"Hu Tao."

She looked up with tears prickling her eyes.

"If I were the same person all those years ago, I would've accepted your confession with no question." You looked down at your own feet this time,

"But unfortunately, I'm not the same as I used to be."
