Cyno is like a walnut. He's all hard on the outside, but he's soft in the inside. He’s like a burnt marshmallow- in which once you get through the hard, burnt outside layer you arrive to the soft gooey centre. And it IS worth traversing the hard layer because once you reach soft Cyno he will be the sweetest thing you’ll have ever known.
Because once Cyno gets to know you, once Cyno starts to connect with you, once he starts to care for you and realise he might-possibly- perhaps - maybe love you he is prepared to do anything for you to make you happy and safe.
If you're anxious, he’ll hold your hand to make sure he’s there for you, if you feel cold he won't hesitate to hand over anything he has to make you feel warmer (although I doubt it will be much- I mean my man’s walking around barefoot and practically shirtless) and he’ll piggy back you if you're tired from walking. (no matter how heavy you are) if you can't sleep, he’ll stay beside you and help you- he might try relax you with his voice, or tell you stories to help you sleep, or cuddle next to you until he feels like your breathing normalises as you drift into your dreams.
if you're feeling self- conscious he’ll compliment you- because to him you're already beautiful. He might supply you with gifts- though usually they're really hand made and thought out, he’ll make your favourite food, comfort you when you’re not well....
If you feel uncomfortable in your clothing- he WILL learn how to knit to make the clothes for you, he’ll remember what you love, cook the food you enjoy most- and like @cynotical said he’ll put his hand on the corner of tables so you don't get hurt. Cyno will gladly give you the whole bed if you're one to take up space or need to roll around (for your comfort and for his own) and as @perpetualcynicism said he’ll chop the onions for you so you don't have to
Because even if Cyno might give off a “I don't care about you, I'm cold, harsh, be scared of me” kind of vibe- because yes you were scared of him when you first met him- from his harsh and quite intimidating wall, that wall broke as soon as he met and saw you.

Yanagi headcanons <3
MJSJEJE MY FAV BOY
Yanagi is a sweet shy boy, so im thinking about him having a crush on you,
And how painfully obvious it is.
Everyone knows at this point, and how ypu dont know remains a mystery
He would stutter and blush whenever he's around you, always melting when you give him a smile
If you back hug him or cup his face, he would turn redder than his hair.
Sometimes, you catch him staring at you, a soft smile on his adorable face. You try and deny the small blush you have, but your swift glances make it obvious
Yanagi would panick when you ask to be his alarm. He knows how he can be when he's asleep, and how he is hard to wake up.
If you wait for him at his doorstep, he would consider marriage but also tells you how you didn't have to wait
Overall, yanagi is the highschool sweatheart first love, you only have happy memories with him, and even more to have

It's almost the end of my birthday, so I thought I should at least spoil myself with a drabble. Spoiler alert, it's about Xiao so click away if you're not interested. ^^
Xiao's the sweetest lovebug I've ever known my entire life. Hear me out; it's really just about being patient and taking time while going into the relationship, discussing what feels okay and what's not okay. Not that I'm saying other genshin men won't do this with you.. but I think Xiao would stand out the most, or maybe that's just me.
See, like... Throughout time, in the ENG version, you can totally tell his demeanor towards the traveler (and other people!) have changed drastically. He went from "stay back, or all that awaits you is regret," to appreciating everyone who wants to be beside him despite knowing how dangerous he is (due to karmic debt) in the Perilous Trail archon quest! His tone of voice is ridiculously softer, and while he's as stern as he is, he's frankly adorable and I live for it.
Xiao would be such a doting boyfriend, I think. If you've got any injuries, he'd cross his arms disapprovingly, tells you to sit down somewhere comfortable, and fetches you a medkit. Though yakshas have no need for any medication, you do. He's willing to learn how to heal mortal wounds if it's for you (the way he's willing to go over seas of people just to understand you).
I don't think he'd be a stranger to touch. He acts too similarly to that of a cat, though! I could say that it just depends on what his mood is. I don't think he's one to shy away from touch, but maybe if he doesn't feel like it, or thinks that holding him might harm you, he'd politely reject it for the time being. It doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy it nonetheless!!! I am a BIG fan of "Xiao loves forehead kisses" because there HAS to be a reason he's got a little diamond on his head <33
I personally think he LOVES handholding. It's one of the most emotionally intimate contacts aside from kissing. He wouldn't hold your hand firmly if you're just hanging out, but would definitely just link your fingers and be done with it. Pinkie links!!
What else makes him a sweetheart? He always expresses that he's ready to do just about anything if it's us. He takes his loyalty and honesty very seriously (see: contract with Morax, and the promise he made to Traveler). I also think that there's some beauty in the world he's never gotten to experience, so it'll be wonderful to see what he thinks of certain things! For example, the view of Dragonspine, the taste of other sweet, easy to eat dishes, festivals (yes, please! He doesn't need to go to crowds, though!!), and many more :D
That's all though.
Happy birthday to me <3

A/N: Your girl is back! I finally managed to finish these drabbles I had sitting in my drafts for half an eternity already. Always appreciate any asks, comments or reblogs about this if you liked it. Let me know your favorite! <3
It wouldn't take long for him to notice your dreamy stare.
Would literally stop talking mid sentence as soon as he notices you staring, just to see how long it would take you to notice he was no longer saying anything.
Once you realized, he would just smirk and throw you a knowing glance.
He can't help himself, he needs to throw a remark and he would enjoy it greatly that he is making you even more flustered.
Despite him looking like he is entirely unaffected by your gawking, on the inside you would make him go crazy, his heart would beat so loud he is scared you would be able to hear it.
He hummed, snapping you out of your trance, making you realize that you had been staring at his lips for the entire time he had been talking. Wait? When did he stop talking? Oh, Archons. You felt the blood rush to your face and wanted to cover your eyes in embarrassment, but that would be admitting that you, in fact, had been staring at Ayato's way too soft and inviting looking lips while you wondered what they would feel like against yours.
"Care to share with me what you were so entranced by on my face?"
"... I-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"Oh, so you admit that you were staring at my lips?"
"I… no, I–." You were desperately ringing for words and all you could manage to get out was a stammered word salad - much to the amusement of the man in front of you.
He let out a soft chuckle and he trained his lilac eyes on yours before he suddenly took your hand into his, brushing over the back of your palm with his thumb. You thought your heart was about to jump out of your chest any second, which seemed to be very much visible on your face as well, because Ayato's smirk grew even wider.
"No need to be so nervous, I was just testing you."
"W-what were you–?"
He quickly pulled you forward and pressed his lips onto yours, one of his gloved hands finding its way to your cheek, cupping it gently.
"Now that we finally got around to spending time together, don’t you perhaps think it’s being wasted by just staring?"
Oh Archons, you have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into…
He would be an absolute tease about it (because of course he would be).
Would it stroke his ego if the most beautiful person in all of Teyvat stared at his lips this way? One hundred percent.
If you thought you’d seen his shit-eating grin before, better reconsider that because the grin he would have on his face now, was wider than it had ever been.
Prepare to be flustered because that man will stare right back at you and not even falter for a second under your gaze.
You stood in front of his desk as he flicked through the pages on the clipboard you just brought over to him. You closely watched the way his eyes scanned over the paper with a bored expression, finding your eyes wandering from his eyes a bit further down to his lips.
You found yourself drifting off, fantasizing about what it would feel like to press your own lips against his. You were so lost in thought, you missed the way he kept looking up at you out of the corner of his eyes with a smug smile slowly forming on his face, before getting up from his chair and getting over to where you were standing.
“Look at you!”, he took your face in between his index finger and thumb and pulled it up in a way that you were forced to look into his eyes. “Staring at my lips like you have a chance in hell to kiss me, hm?”
“I-I’m sorry, I must’ve…”, you rung for words as he kept pinning you down with his intense ocean blue eyes, the conceited grin on his face becoming wider with every stammer that forced itself out of your throat. You hoped he didn’t feel how your cheeks had started to burn under his gloved hands and how fast your heart had started to hammer against your chest.
“What if I told you though, that you do have a chance?”
Oh Archons, this man would be the death of you.
Would be the one to keep talking even if he notices that you’re staring.
Don’t be fooled though, he just tries to keep it cool but he’d eventually break under your gaze.
His face would turn a flaming red and become almost indistinguishable from the color of his locks and he would start to stammer and avoid eye contact.
Would probably inquire whether he had something in his face making you aware of the fact that you had been staring, flustering you all the same in return.
You would shake your head and attempt to hide your face while an awkward silence settled between you two.
He would secretly wish for you to look at his lips like that more often.
Sitting at the bar at the Angel’s Share you caught yourself being entranced by the lips of the man behind the bar who was focused on wiping some of the glasses dry, while striking a conversation with you.
As soon as he looked up from the counter you noticed a small startle in his composure before he kept talking again, earning nothing but a zoned out hum or nod from you in response as you were too busy with the way his lips basically danced a slow rhythm as he was speaking.
“Sorry. I-Is there anything between my teeth… or on my face?”, he stammered suddenly, interrupting whatever he had been talking about prior to that. Not that you would actually remember what it was about, embarrassingly so, because you knew exactly why he was asking.
“No, no, everything is fine.”, you replied awkwardly to which he nodded before quickly turning around, busying himself with cleaning up the perfectly arranged and spotless shelf behind him. You had been too obvious, hadn’t you?
“Say…”, he suddenly turned around again with a bright pink blush across his cheeks. “Are you free tomorrow night?”
What gave you the idea that staring at his lips would either go unnoticed or end well?
That man basically has a sixth sense, of course he would notice straight away.
Would probably let you stare for a bit longer and pretend he doesn’t see you looking at his lips so blatantly obvious
He absolutely wouldn’t be able to hold back the smug grin on his face for too long.
Brace yourself for teasing, because you sure won’t hear the end of it.
As you sat at your desk at the Police Station you couldn’t help but steal sneaky glances over to your colleague and his handsome features every now and then. Especially his lips magically kept pulling you back to them and you frequently began drawing imaginary patterns over them with your eyes and were unable to take them off.
Heizou suddenly piled up some of the files he had been working on the entire day, grabbed them and walked over to your desk with a confident smirk on his face that could mean nothing good.
“Well, my favorite colleague, care to lend me a hand with a case I’ve been struggling to solve?”
“Excuse me?”
Him? Struggling with a case? Frankly said, you found that almost impossible to believe so you just questioningly raised an eyebrow at him.
As if prompted, he pulled out the chair in front of your desk and sat down, putting the files on your desk, too. But much to your surprise he didn’t open them but instead pushed them aside and leaned in closer to you over your desk, intently staring at your face, the smug grin never faltering.
“You heard that right and you’re the only one who can solve it.”
You stared back at him as if he had lost his mind. He had never asked for help with a case, neither directly nor indirectly. As if spurred on by your confusion his grin grew even wider and you started getting more nervous by the minute.
“So… there is someone who keeps staring at my lips recently in a not so sneaky way. Do you think they want to kiss me or am I on the wrong track here?”
Oh god.
He would catch you staring pretty quickly
A smug grin would be painted on his face along with a flirty glint in his eye.
Similarly to Childe he would be a total tease about it - so better prepare for some remarks thrown your way.
Although he would just use it as a facade to play down and hide his own flusteredness.
He would most certainly be thinking about your longing stare for quite some time after, wondering what your lips would feel like when joined with his.
You and Kaeya sat together at the Tavern after work over some wine and snacks. While he was talking you couldn’t help but start scanning his handsome features. The way his soft hair fell across his forehead and shoulder and the way his frost blue eye wandered around the dimly lit tavern and the way his lips softly wrapped around the rim of his wineglass every so often.
As you kept looking at his lips you soon noticed that they had formed into a sly smile. Looking up you saw that he had his eye trained on you. Crap, had he caught you staring?
“Why, hello there, sweetheart. What are you looking at?.”, he purred and playfully bit his lip.
“Oh archons, stop it?!”, you whined as you clasped your hands over your face in an attempt to hide..
You were ready to sink into the ground in embarrassment right then and there, and it got worse when you heard him put his glass down onto the table and felt his hands pull yours off your face again so he could get a look at your flustered expression.
A pleased grin was painted on his face as he moved so close to yours you could smell the wine he had been drinking on his breath and his lips were barely a hair’s breadth away from yours.
“Well if you’re so intent on staring at me like that, you have to live with the consequences, don’t you think?”
When he catches you staring he would smile back at you, a light pink dusting his cheeks.
He would be so soft and nice about it, softly brushing over the back of your palm to divert your attention his way even more.
Prepare to be showered with words of affection and compliments in return.
By far the most romantic about it out of the bunch.
Would be the type to write poetry about the moment and dwell on the moment for quite a while.
You and Kazuha were sitting together near the harbor in Liyue, on a big stone bank just outside the city. Kazuha was leaning back with his eyes closed and propping himself up with his hands. The mild ocean breeze softly carded through his white locks and his lips were formed into a soft smile. You actually would have liked to kiss them right then and there and the urge to reach your hand out to brush over them became stronger with every passing second.
He turned his head over to you and fixated his crimson colored eyes on yours before throwing you the most beautiful smile you had ever seen.
He grabbed your hand to trace small circles over the back of it with his thumb making your whole body feel tingly and your heart started racing.
"Can you believe we've known each other for almost our entire lives... and yet we've never shared a kiss.", he suddenly remarked, a rosy blush playing around his cheeks. "... we can change that now, if you want."
You could feel how the heartbeat in your chest became more erratic at his words and your face started heating up.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to feel–", you began to protest, but you didn't even get to finish your sentence before you could feel a pair of soft lips be tenderly pressed onto yours.
"You're incredible!", he whispered before uniting your lips once more.
His words engulfed all your senses and you gripped his shirt in a futile attempt to keep you stable as the sensation of his lips made you melt like candle wax in the sun. And if you were honest, you were sure this must be what heaven felt like.
He would become so flustered once he notices and would totally forget what he was saying while averting your gaze. Who would have thought outgoing and cheerful Thoma could be so shy?
He would desperately try to keep his cool but would outright just fail and become beet red in the face.
Definitely would stammer and start nibbling on the mochi in his hand - anything to keep his lips out of your line of sight and his thoughts away from the way you just looked at them.
Should he ask you what you were looking at? Did you want to kiss him? No, no, he must be seeing things.
When you noticed his weird behavior you realized what you were doing and in turn felt the blood rush to your face as well.
You and Thoma sat in the patio of the Kamisato estate, eating snacks all while you went through the organization lists for some of the upcoming festivities the Yashiro Commission was assigned to host.
There was but one problem, you just couldn’t focus on the work in front of you because you repeatedly found your focus shift to the lips of the man before you. The way they moved when he talked, the way he quirked the corner of his mouth up or the way he pressed his pen against them when he was thinking about something.
Lost in scanning his features you completely missed the moment Thoma addressed a question to you.
“Are you still listening?”
“Hm?”, you snapped out of your trance, flicking your eyes up to meet his again.
He didn’t miss the shift in the direction of your gaze and instinctively reached his hand out to his lips before it started to dawn on him where you had been staring the entire time. The thought instantly made him blush violently.
He hastily grabbed one of the mochi lying on the plate in front of him on the table before shoving it in his mouth in a futile attempt to make the tingling feeling on his lips and in the pit of his stomach go away. How was he supposed to concentrate on his work now?
“U-Uhm… w-well. Do we need some more pa-paper lanterns? What do you think–”
By far the one that gets flustered the most when he catches you staring at his lips.
Would quickly turn his face to the other side to escape your gaze and his cheeks would glow in a bright pink.
Would seem rather annoyed, but don’t take it the wrong way - his heart is threatening to jump out of his chest any second now.
No matter how hard he tries to shake it off, he has to admit that the way you looked at his lips felt rather nice.
Please stop him from teleporting away because he is just too flustered.
“Ahem…”
The man in front of you clearing his throat pulled you out of your thoughts and you flicked your gaze from his lips back up to his eyes. You were met with an undecipherable but stern expression of the adeptus that made your heart run wild time and time again.
“Would you stop that?”, Xiao asked in an almost demanding tone.
“What?”, you asked, genuinely confused at first but it soon dawned on you. You had been staring again, but this time it wasn’t you who caught and could reprimand yourself but instead it was him who did so.
“Did no one teach you that staring at others is rude?”
“I’m sorry. I-I didn't... I couldn’t help it–”
“Tch…”
He scoffed and turned his face away from you abruptly, but it wasn’t fast enough for you to miss the dust of pink that was starting to bloom across his cheeks.
No matter how hard he tried to seem cold and distanced, around you he never quite managed.
He would mistake it at first and would think you're just pratically glued to his lips because you find his storytelling so enthralling.
But when he notices the longing glint in your eyes he immediately knows it's something else that has you so captivated.
And it has surely been a while since he welcomed the feeling of someone staring at his lips this way that much.
And especially considering it was you, he would be genuinely flattered.
He indulges in the thought of what it would feel like to kiss you for a while, although he would not let it show on his face.
Might throw an underhanded remark your way.
“It was then said that Rex Lapis allowed the Lord of Geovishaps to roam the land freely until his mind fell victim to corruption and he began attacking those he had once sworn to protect, leading Rex Lapis to having to seal him back underground.”
Zhongli picked up his teacup and blew the rising steam off it before taking a sip. You didn’t miss the way his lips curled around the corner of his cup and how the tea dampened them before the corners of his lips turned upward in a content smile.
He continued retelling his story where he left off but your eyes and thoughts were trained on something else instead. You were so entranced by the way his lips moved while he spoke that you at first didn’t notice that he had stopped midway, looking at you curiously with a sleek smile playing around his mouth.
“Am I perhaps boring you?”, he inquired.
“N-no, not at all, it’s just – I was distracted.”, you stammered, feeling the blood rush to your cheeks.
“Hmm, I see. Do you want me to continue or are you perhaps more inclined to keep being entertained by whatever thoughts are on your mind instead?”
You could see the right corner of his mouth twitch upwards ever so slightly into a soft smile while he trained his gaze on your face, a fond and adoring expression flaring up behind his amber irises.

♡ Thoma’s love language is physical touch, and he cannot bear not having skin to skin contact with you!
A/N: Pure fluff with gender neutral reader! My first post on here hehehe~
Lovestruck Thoma who can’t keep his hands off you; oftentimes he doesn’t even realize it himself, but anytime the two of you are out, at the very least you can expect a hand on your lower back or your arms intertwined together. It’s just his love language, always gravitating to show his appreciation for you in gentle caresses of your cheek, a nuzzle of your noses, a sweet squeeze of your arm.

hi hi!! if your requests are open can I get some general yanfei relationship hcs???
omg yes— I’ve been obsessed with her lately. I hope you don’t mind me making the reader an illuminated beast, a type that has yet to be added to the game. 👇
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Relationship head canons.
(Reader is an illuminated beast, a common Chinese mythical creature known as a Huli jing. Which is a type of shape shifting Fox spirit. Basically like a nine-tailed Fox, if you wanna learn more here ya go.)
Yanfei is very hard working and serious about her job, much like Ganyu.
She rarely has time for dates and romantic stuff like that. But still tries her best to make time for it.
Which often leaves you quite sad but, you understand completely. She’s a busy woman.
That doesn’t mean she neglects you, she’ll come home and check on you or even accompany you on small trips.
The little things do matter.
You even bring her lunch most of the time, Tofu, the food she seems to love more than her real true love.
Other than that, you rarely see each other which some people might see as a ‘toxic relationship.’
But it’s nothing of the sorts, when she’s on her breaks she’ll make every minute she’ll have for you.
Which you take dearly to heart.
While spending time with each other you’ll most likely speak about each other’s day or request any favors.
You’ll even add the little compliments and all that sweet jazz.
Moving on to the real romance.
You’ve always been fond of the way Yanfei shows you affection, she doesn’t hide much.
She’ll pet your ears, your tails, complimenting their softness and lovely scent, their gorgeous color.
Yanfei indeed enjoyed your species despite it being quite rare among the Adepti, or other illuminated beast of Liyue.
Her most favorite part was laying down in the soft fluffiness of your many tails.
“It’s like... laying in a pile of celestial clouds..” she comments often.
She even enjoys how your ears react to your mood.
Yanfei too finds it quite hilarious how you shape shift to play pranks on others, or even help out in a situation.
It only gets to her when you use the skill on her, but that rarely happens.
Aside from those compliments, she’ll also kiss gently on your cheek, neck, and even hand when your alone in public.
And she goes even farther in bed. I’ll let your imagination run wild, just know she can be quite gentle but also rough when she wants.
Yanfei would even pass you small gifts that she thinks you’ll like even if it’s just a little.
Which you do most definitely.
Despite her personality, she can be quite enchantingly romantic when she wants too.
From quiet dates and a lovely time in bed at night to thoughtful gifts and compliments in the day.
Now, to more detailed actions or whatever you wanna call it.
Kissing, or making it out. Yanfei isn’t the quite to keep a long kiss on the lips. She’d rather much prefer place then on your cheek or all over your body.
But when you’re in the mood, she just can’t say not to you. Your make out sessions aren’t long at all, about few seconds you could say.
Afterwards, she’d get quite embarrassed which you enjoy seeing given the fact that she’s more rather the romancer in the relationship.
Moving on towards sexual tensions. Yanfei doesn’t have much of a high sex drive.
But if you tell her you’re in the mood she’ll gladly obliged.
She’s usually top for her superior reasons of being one so you allow it but, there are times when you top.
Yanfei is usually in the middle, not so rough and not so gentle when pleasuring you.
But if you ask her to be either one she’d agree happily.
Her aftercare is a sweet as honey and as soft as the fluff of your tails.
She’s caring, helping you if you need something, whispering jokes or stuff that happened a while ago.
All in all, YOU ARE A YANFEI SIMP IF YOU’RE READING THIS.
But don’t worry, she’s a simp for you too.
My fault I didn’t post earlier I was quite busy with finishing paperwork and shite and doing stuff on Mother’s Day with my mother. Hope you enjoyed, sorry that this was kinda lame lmao. I’ll try better next time! 💞💞
— made for loving you —
things you do that make them fall deeper in love with you!
pairings: kazuha x gn! reader, cyno x gn! reader, xiao x gn! reader, abyss prince! aether x gn! reader, albedo x gn! reader, tighnari x gn! reader, scaramouche x gn! reader.
genre: fluff, absolute fluff
warnings: not proof-read
“i’ve loved you three summers now, honey, but i want ‘em all”
— taylor swift, lover
KAEDEHARA KAZUHA — THE WANDERING SAMURAI
when you ask him about his poetry and his adventures. kazuha’s heart warms at the sight of your bright and hopeful eyes and at the way you give him your undivided attention. be it sitting under the shade of scarlet leaved trees or in the privacy of your home, the way you always play with his fingers as his gentle voice weaves flowers or narrates thrilling journeys never fails to make his heart skip some beats.
CYNO — GENERAL MAHAMATRA
when you defeat enemies and when you laugh at his jokes or follow his explanation of it intently. cyno thinks it’s so attractive of you taking on those criminals and making them confess, with only a swing of your weapon. and, when he goes on about his jokes and they make you laugh, genuinely laugh, the general’s gaze becomes wide eyed, his lips turning up into a subtle smile, in the same way yours curve up when he explains the meaning of the jokes you don’t quite understand.
XIAO — THE YAKSHA, GENERAL ALATUS
when you literally do anything for him or show him affection. xiao is not used to being taken care of in such tender ways as you do. when you simply hold his hand while you walk around wanghsu inn, when you cook almond tofu for him (and insist he lets you feed him), when you put qingxin flowers in his hair while you two rest under the golden canopies of ginkgo trees… if you pay attention, you can see the adeptus’ golden eyes hold endless tenderness and his cheeks catch a the prettiest shade of red.
AETHER — HIS ABYSSAL MAJESTY
your kindness, the light you radiate. in a world buried and surrounded in darkness and years of loss and anguish, you are his north star. aether doesn’t think he can put into words the warm sensation spreading through his chest when he comes back to you after any missions he has to attend. there is a nostalgic tenderness in the way your fingers comb through his locks of tainted gold and your arms wrap around his troubled frame, memories of long gone sunny days and the scent of fresh flowers surrounding the prince of the abyss.
ALBEDO — THE CHIEF ALCHEMIST
when you care for him and for klee. something as simple for you as bringing albedo snacks and reminding him to take breaks when he’s working for hours in his lab means the world to him. the cool headed alchemist can be seen blushing and smiling softly to himself. also, when you play with klee or take her fishing (and prevent her from blasting the whole lake) albedo’s thoughts wander to dreams of a family with you one day…
TIGHNARI — THE FOREST WATCHER
when you help him relax after a long day of work. similar to albedo, tighnari spends long hours collecting ingredients and preparing medicine, as well as making sure the forest is safe. so, coming back home to you and cuddling in your arms, while you pet his tail and ears with care, always manages to put him at ease. like albedo, tighnari’s heart fills with warmth when he sees how much you care for collei and how much she adores and admires you.
SCARAMOUCHE — KUNIKUZUSHI, THE WANDERER
your loyalty, when you stick to him, no matter the adversities. scaramouche has lost so many people he cherished, so it won’t be easy for him to let himself feel again. but when despite his cold and biting tone, you persevere, you keep being kind to him, because you see through his facade, the cage around his heart starts to melt. slowly, one bar at a time, but surely, not even himself can’t deny his appreciation for you. caressing the heart of the balladeer is no easy feat, so hold it dear and treasure it, treasure him, because kunikuzushi loves you, and even if the veil of his emotions is not transparent, you grasp the message.
hori says: since these were very short headcanons i felt i could include tighnari as well without writing him too ooc!
HERE COMES THE BOYYYY
Characters: Inazuma women x gn!reader (seperate)
Warnings: none, just fluff
a/n: Wanted to write something for Heizou, ended up writing all female Inazuma characters, but no Heizou instead. Sometimes my genius is… it’s almost frightening.
Call me sleep deprived, because I am-... sleep deprived.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Ayaka
Ayaka never had many people close to her, so simply having you around her was enough to make her day seem better in retrospect, that being said, there were a lot of things she’d like to try with you. She had always been a fan of the arts, and while writing poetry, learning dances and playing music alone already brought her joy, she always wondered how it would be to share her interests with others.
Whenever neither of you were busy, you’d meet up and write poems together, and while you weren’t exactly confident in your writing at the beginning, Ayaka did an excellent job at easing you in, all the while giving you small tips for how to improve yourself.
“This is even better than the last one, although you might want to try structure it like this next time. From my experience, it makes the poem sound smoother”, she recommended before showing you her piece of paper, all the while wearing a small, but genuine smile, reflecting how excited she felt about having someone to share her experience in writing with.

While there were many things Sara did outside of work, none of them could compare when it came to the time, she’d spend trying to better her skills with the bow. So, when you asked her if she’d have time to teach it to you, she was quick to accept. And while her behaviour during your lessons often resembled how she’d teach archery to her soldiers, she’d feel much prouder and happier whenever she noticed you improving. Was it because you were much closer to her than her soldiers or just because of your terrible skill in the beginning.
When you were taking aim, Sara quickly positioned herself behind you, only to stop you before you could let the arrow loose, grabbing the arm with which you held the bow before adjusting its angle.
“Hold the bow like this or the bowstring might hit your forearm”, she stated, only for you to nod, aim once more and let the bowstring go, and while you were far from hitting the bullseye, you, for the first time, didn’t miss, causing you to excitedly turn to Sara, only to be greeted by a barely visible smile and a look of approval.
Kuki Shinobu
There was no-one in the whole of Inazuma whose amount of certificates could rival Shinobu’s. After all, while some would collect coins or other things as a hobby, she seemed to do the same with degrees, seemingly never going a long time between taking exams for different certificates. All of that made it fair to say that there probably wasn’t a better person to ask for help than her, and while she’d probably be able to explain everything from accounting to architecture to you, the two of you often found yourself cooking together, with her telling you how to make different dishes while you followed her commands.
Not only was it a easy enough thing to learn to hold a conversation while doing so, but you’d also automatically be rewarded with something to eat if you succeeded.
“Okay, next you take the roasted lavender melon and cut it in pieces”, Shinobu stated, only for both of you to realise that the purple fruit was nowhere to be seen. “Wait. You didn’t leave it over the fire, did you?”, she questioned, the answer to her question coming moments later as you began smelling something burned, causing you to rush over and try your best at damage control.
Ei
There weren’t exactly things Ei would call “her hobbies”, having spent the last 500 years in her Plane of Euthymia, and while training her fighting skills was something she liked doing before she sealed herself away, she knew well enough that training with you would only result in disaster, no matter how good you were. And so, she’d simply let you take the lead, participating in whatever activities you wanted the two of you to do.
Most of the time, the two of you would take small trips around Inazuma, no matter if it was inside the city, with you looking through the different stores as you showed her whatever new inventions or products made their way into the nation, or outside of it, taking in the beautiful nature that Ei hadn’t realised she missed so much.
“How does it taste?”, you asked Ei as she took a sip of the new drink being sold at your favourite shop, not having to wait long for a response, as Ei made a small nod before responding.
“Delicious, I can’t remember this being sold the last time we were here, is it new?”
“Mhm, it’s a recipe from a Mondstadt, they call it Barbatos’ tears of joy”, you stated, only for Ei to slightly cringe at the mention of the Anemo archon before acting as if nothing happened before you had the chance to say something.
“Good to know, let’s visit the next store.”
Kokomi
Kokomi, being the divine priestess of Watatsumi Island, had a lot of things to do during her day, was it managing the Island, or helping the residents whenever they asked her for help. So, whenever she was done with work, she’d simply find a quiet place to read or rest in. And while relaxing alone was a good way to regain her energy points, when you were with her, she felt herself recharge even more efficiently than alone.
And while it was enough for you to just sit in the same room as her and silently do things on your own, there would be times during which Kokomi would feel too tired to read on her own, only for you to take her book and read it out loud for her. And while you didn’t exactly understand tactics and strategies for warfare, causing you to have little idea what you were reciting, it nevertheless worked.
“Are you feeling better now?”, you asked while closing the book, having finally finished it, glancing over to Kokomi, slumped over her desk, obviously having been exhausted by work, only for her to silently hum in response.
“Much better, just give me… 3 more minutes”, she mumbled out loud before growing silent again. And while it took you some time to realise that she had fallen asleep, you decided not to wake her, remaining on your seat to make sure nothing happened to her, sure that she’d wake up after a while.
She woke up several hours later
Yae Miko
While Yae loved to tease you, your reactions being even more amusing to her than others, not every moment the two of you spent together would be filled with her teasing. There were many occasions the two of you would just silently sit in the same room while reading whatever novels her publishing house was about to release, the comfortable silence being enough to make you forget about Yae’s other favourite activity besides reading.
Most of the times, that’d be the moment in which she struck, your reaction being enough to instantly improve her mood, no matter what genre she was reading, only to instantly shift her focus back to her novel, continuing to read as if nothing happened.
“That’s the novel everybody is talking about isn’t it?”, Yae’s voice rang out without warning, causing you to quickly look at her before nodding your head with a small smile, only for it to vanish once you saw her smug expression. “I heard it has a Kitsune in it. Is there something you want to tell me?”, she asked in her usual teasing voice, and while you ought to have grown accustomed to it by now, you still felt you face heat up, only for your thoughts to be disrupted by her laugh.
Yoimiya
Hanging out with Yoimiya always made for a day full of surprises, the energetic girl knowing a plethora of fun ways to spend time together, from just telling each other stories to playing with the many children she called her friends or testing out firework together. All in all, there wasn’t any activity the two of you did more frequently than others, that was with one exception.
Whenever a festival took place, you’d go. That was something like an unspoken rule between the two of you. No matter how much work both of you had to do first, you’d finish it and attend the festival, no matter how small.
“Wait, you are already done?”, Yoimiya asked while sticking her head out of her door, having summoned by you knocking on her door, and while she seemed to be in a rush, unfortunately for her, you had no idea what she was talking about.
“Done with what? I just thought we could hang out today”, you questioned in return, only for her to tell you to wait for a moment before vanishing back into her home, returning with a calendar. The entire following week being filled with different smaller festivals, suddenly making you realise what she had meant.
“Now that I think about it, there’s work left for me to finish, good luck!”, you said your goodbye before quickly making your way home.
