turns out the rock solid and dependable thoma has a tendency to be clingy when he's sick.
1k words. just fluff and soft.
-
it was this morning when the news was brought to you telling thoma has come down with a slight fever. to say it's strange was an understatement. your ever so reliable boyfriend who's so fond on taking care of people that he's always in a top-notch condition got sick? but alas, after witnessing his condition with your own very eyes, it turns out the news was no deception.
his body glued to his futon, breath somewhat ragged, his cheeks dusted red. you frowned seeing he's in pain.
"____?" he called out meekly, probably sensing a familiar presence. "i'm here, do you need something?" you combed his golden locks back, carefully not to disrupt the position of the towel on his forehead. his eyes still in a daze, the discomfort of the illness was apparent on his expression. "you should go back home, i don't want you catching what i have," he said, although it was quite obvious that he did not want you going anywhere by the way he was already holding your hand the moment he saw you.
"hmm, are you sure?" you said teasingly, staring at your still tightly-gripped hand. thoma was quite for a moment, torn between indulging his vulnerable selfish desire or letting you go. he nodded as a response, reluctantly loosening his hold on your hand. you just chuckled at his generous stubbornness. it would have been perfectly fine if he wanted you to stay.
"well i can't really say no to a sick person can i? i'll come back later then, feel better soon love." you leaned in and kissed his half-lidded eyelid gently. however before you could get back up you felt his hands entrapped you, pulling you so your body stayed on top of him. "umm thoma, honey?" you called him, worried something might be wrong.
"want you to stayyy," he whimpered; finally giving in. his tone was almost childlike, sounded so needy that you could not really believe your ear. however this made you giddy.
you love your reliable boyfriend with all or your heart, but sometimes you were worried that he's not putting himself first at times. you also wanted to be the one who takes care of him. and in this moment of weakness, a chance finally arrived that you could pamper and spoil him rotten without him attempting to turn the tables on you. also may you add that clingy thoma was extremely adorable.
"and i'm here baby i'm not going anywhere," you said as you raise your head, resting your gaze on his reddened face. "but to make sure," he trailed off, taking the towel on his forehead and put it aside. "thoma, you needed that-" but before you could finish your sentence, suddenly you were under him, the golden-haired male rested his head on your chest, getting comfortable. this way, you couldn’t really go now could you? "it's fine, the fever wasn't that bad anyway," he mumbled although he obviously shouldn't be the judge of that.
you sighed softly, "should i really be taking the word of a man who's clearly delirious?" you played with his hair, untangling the tangled strand of locks here and there. "if anything, i think you could be a little lenient to your poor and weak sick lover." he said, palpably satisfied as to how the whole thing escalated.
-
that was four hours ago.
you had watched him nap, talked a little, but there's still no sign of him letting you go any soon. or in other words, you're really trapped.
"thoma, please? i just wanted to grab a glass of warm water for you," you said while writing gestures on his back, trying to grab his attention. thoma responded by snuggling closer--if that's even possible. so that's a no.
you tried again. "hey, i'm gonna get angry you know?" you faked a scolding tone. he immediately lifted up his face to stare at you pleadingly. continuing the parade will feel like kicking a puppy so you dropped it quickly. "fine maybe i won't, but you need to stay hydrated and i can even make a quick snack for you while i'm at it," you stated, thinking perhaps bribing would work. he pondered, the thought of your cooking has caught his attention.
"okay," he finally agreed, reluctantly getting up just to lie back down on the pillow because of the dizziness. you sat up, preparing to go to the kitchen before yet again a pair of hands pulled you back in. huh hasn't this happened before????
your back rested nicely against his chest, his hands secured safely around your stomach. "thomaaa," this time you whined, he has trapped you in his embrace yet again. not that you didn't like it, but you just wanted to make sure he's feeling content; not thirsty or hungry.
"what?" he replied innocently. "don't you want something to drink or eat?" you asked, genuinely concerned. "you being here is my medicine, really." and that wasn't a lie, with you by his side on such close proximity already made him thousand times better than when he woke up this morning. "there's no way that's medically true."
you just sighed, giving in. "alright then, but that was your chance okay? i won't bring you a glass of water even if you beg me to later." you fumed. that was a lie of course. you could be running in full speed right this very second searching for help if thoma expresses the slightest form of discomfort.
"and mine is quite clingy when he's sick"
he chuckled, "my lover is so kind."
"and you love him"
you laughed.
"and i love him."
HUNTER WITH THE BISEXUAL FLAG PATCH ON HIS BATTLE JACKET
Edit: Better-quality images make it even clearer what it’s intended to be!
Since request are open may i request xiao and zhongli with a hu li jing s/o? (their chinese foxes who shapeshifts and loves to seduce men but reader didnt seduce them) and maybe put some lore of hu li jing s/o and how they became the protector/god of liyue?
s/o who’s a huli jing — genshin hcs ⸝⸝
— warning[s]. n/a!
— synopsis . . . (char.) with a s/o who’s a húlijīng
— characters . . . zhongli , xiao
⭑ notes . . . you had me at húlijīng- i love chinese mythology (and mythology in general tbf) smmm it’s one of my favourite things to self study for fun (≧▽≦)
— “finally a lover that wont die on me-“
— in his long ass life he’s definitely interacted with countless of different species and creatures so your identity wasn’t surprising news per se
— don’t get me wrong he was still shocked that his own lover was anything but human , however he didn’t bat an eye at what you actually were
— being from liyue and all , he’s certainly heard of huli jing’s and he does recall telling stories , myths and legends about them but they are rather rare to come across since they blend in so well with others
— you remind him of himself in a way more or less! i mean you both act or pretend to be like something you aren’t (a human lol) whether your reasons differ from one another is a different story though
— speaking of stories , being the man of history he is, zhongli enjoys every thrilling tale you bestow upon him every evening which all include your journeys and adventures and even the story of your own creation
— he has put his entire trust in you , to not only cherish him as a lover but cherish the land of liyue as if it were your own - whenever he sees the glint in your eyes or the slight happy swaying of your tails when good news of liyue harbour get murmured amongst locals he can’t help but be intoxicated by your joyous attitude
— this dude has no problem in taking care of your ears and tails for you !! zhongli only wants to spoil you and being able to touch those silky tails of yours is a blessing within itself so never hesitate to ask about grooming your fur, he’ll make sure to thoroughly wash and brush it
— the whole ideology and stigma that huli jing’s are deceitfully evil creatures who only seduce men for fun is clearly neutralised when he met you - you remind him a of a field of glaze lilies on a warm summer afternoon, calm and carefree <3
— wtf are you ??
— being the almighty demon yaksha emo ass bitch he is , xiao will definitely attempt to hide his inner curiosity into learning more about what you are i mean you’re a fox . . but like human . . but he thought that kätzlein-
— safe to say , he’s intrigued ! on the days you come to visit him at wansghu inn , with a generous plate of almond tofu in hand , he tries to pick out some details about you and he’s not exactly the best at masking the fact he’s staring very intently at you
— after he gets a few good looks at you , he won’t really pay that much attention to it anymore , unless you end up mentioning the fact you’re also immortal which at that point he’s more than happy to sit and listen to you for a bit
— knowing you’re capable of handling yourself and that your life won’t escape like a drop of water in the ocean depths xiao would thank the geo archon a couple times for blessing him with something so gracious as yourself
— from all the myths he’s heard about (mostly from ganyu and zhongli) huli jing’s are meant to be seductive beings of malevolence , and he’s more than ashamed to admit he thought you’d fit that standard , but as the days got older it couldn’t have been farther from the truth
— he loves you sm !! <33 when the moons rise and fall and xiao’s karmic debt plagues his tormenting heart , simply you shapeshifting into cute animals can uplift his spirits , he especially loves the attention he’s getting
— don’t let his persona fool you ! he wants to be loved and held , if you want to spoil him with love be his guest ! pls . .
— ehem- he has no idea what he’s doing when it comes to helping you groom tho :’) he’ll try to pat your head first and then forget about what he’s meant to be doing same thing happens with your tails too
— he can’t help it ! you’re just too cute (๑>◡<๑) <3
IHEARTGANYU do not copy, steal or repost <33
⭑ notes : i wrote this late at night so pardon any spelling or grammatical errors i’m too tired to proofread :’)
relationship w thoma headcanons!
soft hours for my most spoiled four star <3
you're the luckiest person in teyvat if thoma's your significant other. his love language definitely is acts of service. as much as he'd like to spend all his time with you, he's still busy with his work, but he'll never fail to do anything to help you!
thoma will wake up before you, his gaze soft as he looks at your adorable sleeping face. he will place a kiss on your forehead muttering a quick 'i love you' before getting up to get ready for the day. when you wake up, he's almost done preparing breakfast and already wearing his usual outfit. "good morning, babe!" he greets you while putting down the last utensil on the table, you leaned close to him and kissed his cheek. "good morning, babe. thank you for this!" it's an unspoken routine at this point, but he still feels butterflies whenever you kiss him first thing in the morning.
thoma's definitely on the shy side when it comes to pda, but he'll always have his hand on you. his warm hand holding your hand, fingers intertwined together. if he ever senses danger, his arm is automatically on your shoulder tugging you closer to his side. he'll reassure you that he will protect you.
on the more quiet days where he isn't busy as usual, thoma likes to hold you in his arms while muttering sweet nothings in your ear. also loves leaving small kisses on your temple, your cheeks and your neck. nothing feels better than having your lover pour out his devotion for you while he stares into your eyes and his body wrapped around you.
in the tranquil nights, where the moon is shining above the clouds, thoma faces you with a hand caressing your hair. "i love you so, so much." he says with a quiet voice, his sleepy eyes still full of adoration. you nuzzle your face closer to him and placed a quick peck on his nose. "and i love you so, so much, too." kissing his lips gently, thoma has a giddy smile on his lips, feeling sleepier but happier than ever.

CRUSHES AND FIRST LOVES !
:— xiao, hu tao, yanfei, zhongli, ganyu
XIAO is reduced to a blushing mess whenever he's around you, with shaky hands he tries and talks to you even when it seems almost impossible. He attempts to place his attention on other things; but is he really able to do that when you're right in front of him? Oh dear archons, he prays to the gods above that he doesn't do anything to embarrass himself.
HU TAO is much more relaxed and calm despite her predicament— perhaps she has long since accepted and known of her feelings? Maybe, maybe not, no one really knows; but one thing she does know is that soft yet loud pitter-patter of her heartbeat when she's around you, it's a feeling that she wishes to feel forever, a gentle reminder that you, you make her feel this way.
YANFEI is much more confident. is what she'd wish it would've been, unfortunately she's nothing but confident, she avoids you at all cost she says it's 'cause she's too busy in reality she's just afraid you'll catch on to the way she speaks faster when talking with you, the way she holds her breath everytime you speak to her, or even the way she fiddles with her hands when she's around you. Perhaps one day she'll gain the courage to tell you.
ZHONGLI is calm and cool, his feelings don't get in the way of him still treating you as a friend; but, does a friend stare at you with this softness in their eyes? Does a friend spoil you with gifts they think you'd like? Is he really treating you like a friend? His feelings may not be in the way, but they sure are the ones leading the path to how he treats you.
GANYU is uncertain about almost everything she does around you. After having realized her feelings she started doubting herself a lot more, her insecurities slowly start to get to her; and it's only thanks to you that she pulls herself together and starts making subtle moves at you. She makes you sweets— if they're not your thing she brings you meals that you love, she listens to your favorite songs, watches your favorite movies so she and you could have something to talk about. With a shaky exhale, she prepares and steels herself, she'll surely be able to confess to you.

He gets caught staring at you too much. Has been guilty of subconsciously scribbling down your name with hearts in a notebook. He likes it when Klee takes you along with her to Dragonspine. So much so, that whenever Klee doesn't, he tries to subtly suggest to her to take you along again.
When he’s annoyed from thinking about you too much, he’ll bite down on something. This might range from his own tongue to a pencil.
He has named experiments after you.... ρ(・ω`・、)
He loves to show off any of his creations or discoveries to you.
Its genuinely hard for him to go out to any shopping center and not splurge on gifts for you.
He loves, loves using pet names for you
One of his great pleasures in life is seeing you get all dressed up.
Sometimes, if he’s alone in bed, he’ll randomly whisper your name in the dark.
When he sips wine, deep in thought, half the time, he’s just thinking of you.
He likes it when you tease him back
You can talk to Kazuha normally and then out of blue, he’ll get the exact inspiration he needed for the next line of his haiku.
At any time he suspects you’re uncomfortable, he’ll gently hold your hand.
When he’s cooking for you, he tries a little harder to make it taste good.
The kinda guy who puts up positive sticky notes around the house.
If he’s cooking for you, he’ll incorporate cute little faces on the dish for you.
He also goes on a journey to find your favorite tea recipe and perfect it for those days you’re feeling particularly down.
He lets you wear his hat if you ask nicely
Occasionally, he’ll say something so considerate towards you, it may at first feel out of character.
If it’s hot outside and he has only one cool treat on hand, he will, “absentmindedly” give it to you. ( the reverse stays true in cold weather )
You hum a song, and Venti will have that same song stuck in his head for hours to come.
When you’re relaxing under somewhere, like the Windrise tree, Venti will sit by your side for your company.
Every now and then, Venti saves up his bard earnings to properly treat you at someplace nice. (´∀`)b
He’s prone to quietly following you around when he feels anxious ( with or without your knowledge…)
It’s only through you he’ll try out any mortal dishes.
When you come to visit him, he always has this quiet glimmer in his eye.
Seeing you after its been some time never fails to make his tail wag.
Gorou will be happy to give you free piggyback rides.
It may be too dramatic for him to say casually, but he would 100% die for you.
He keeps descriptions about his studies or flora encountered brief enough, but with you, he lets himself enthuse about it more.
He lets you pet his ears. Best privilege ever. ( ^O^ )
If you’re not paying attention, he might sneak a flower into your hair.
Finds any little excuse he can to touch you.
He always has a lot to talk about with you, ( mostly regarding to his cases )
Watch as you never lose your keys, pens, or any other small items again.
You two are out shopping, anywhere, and if you’re about to buy something that caught your eye, he’ll offer to cover the price. Everytime.
After an exhausting day, you’re the first and only person he wants to see.
He’ll also take the time to acquaint you with his falcon.
He completely trusts you with his family.
At times he has to leave abroad, he always keeps a memento of you on hand. Whether it be a photograph or a small charm.
When he can return to you, he likes to do it by surprise to see your reaction.
Busy, but somehow he always manages to squeeze a little time for you.
He’s attentive to what you wear, if you have a button undone, he’ll come forward and happily fix it for you.
He never misses an anniversary or any other special occasion.
Sometimes, he recalls a particular story so that you might find it humorous.
He’s willing take a walk with you at anytime of the day.
With him, you’ll never get scammed.
imagine kissing them.
imagine them melting against your lips, resting in your hold. imagine their muted sigh against you, the relief that chases away the exhaustion in their limbs.
imagine their hands: wandering, careless, thoughtlessly holding your waist, your arms, your shoulders. imagine their starry eyes gently closed, their skin so beautiful under your fingers.
imagine kissing them again and again, sharing comfort and sweet nothings that turn into everything under the warm breeze and heavy moon.

I think nilou trying to teach her s/o how to dance would be nice
Characters: Nilou x gn!reader
Warnings: none, just fluff
a/n: God damnit, I’m down bad for Nilou. I’m gonna triple crown her no matter if she’s good or not, and not even the gods will be able to stop me from doing it /hj.
That being said, this is my first time writing for her and she hasn’t been released yet, so I’m very sorry if I got something wrong about her.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Nilou
You had always been a big fan of seeing Nilou dance, was it before you had gotten to know her or even now, and while watching her performances was already enough to make any day a good one, you still wanted to learn how to dance yourself.
When you eventually got the courage to ask Nilou to give you dancing lessons, she immediately became excited. And while she’d be happy to teach justa about anyone who showed an interest in the arts, the fact that it was you who asked her made the opportunity even more appealing.
“How about we take a small break? You have to be tired after repeating this one sequence over and over again”, Nilou suggested in her usual gentle tone, not showing any kind of frustration or other negative emotions after repeatedly seeing you mess up the same part, and while you were thankful for her kindness and patience, the same thing couldn’t be said about you. You neither could, nor wished to remember how often you had failed already, but as the number of attempts grew larger, your patience with yourself started to vanish, causing you to enter a hopeless death spiral.
At first, you wanted to say no to her idea, not wanting to stop until you succeeded at least once, only to eventually admit to yourself that it wasn’t going to work until you calmed down, causing you to plop down on the bench next to Nilou before letting out a sigh. “You’re right. It’s just that this one part keeps bothering me… I have to admit that you make it look like a walk in the park whenever you’re on stage”, you admitted, the last part of your statement causing you to think of her performances as a small smile found its way onto your face, only for your thoughts to be interrupted when you felt Nilou grab your hand.
“That’s nice of you to say, but that’s only because I practise a lot, so I have no doubt that you’ll get just as good if you invest enough of your time into it”, she assured you before turning her head towards you, causing the two of you to briefly make eye contact. “Let’s try to relax for a bit and then you can try the part one last time, maybe it’ll work better this time, maybe not, but it that’s the case we’ll have time to work on it next time”, she followed up, only for you to nod your head in response.
And exactly that was what you did. After continuing to sit there for a few more minutes, you stood up once again before making one last attempt, only to surprise yourself when you easily succeeded, immediately glancing over to Nilou, who looked just as happy as you did.
“I did it”, you mumbled to yourself, still somewhat in disbelief.
“See? I told you, you’d succeed eventually”, Nilou stated with a smile bright enough to not only make your heart skip a beat, but to also make you space out, only returning back to the present after a few seconds, causing you to pray to the Dendro Archon that she hadn’t noticed.
“Let’s return home, you can be proud of yourself.”
