❥⠀⠀CLOSER⠀⠀ && ⠀⠀ KAEYA.

gender netural reader ・ waypoint angel's share + word count 405 genre fluff .. unestablished relationship warnings kaeya alberich .. mention of accidental injuries & alcohol — cred. to book0bssessedd on tiktok for the prompt and @hannie-dul-set for writing that jock jake and gyu.. drabble?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀𓆩 ❅ 𓆪

more often than not, you wonder what is the defining moment that carved the leech called kaeya.

perhaps it was when he accidentally whacked himself with a wooden sword, dropped a barrel of grape juice on his foot, tried to cut his bangs with the bluntest scissors in teyvat so he can match his older brother’s, or connected said brother’s freckles with what he thought was a washable marker.

(the damage was reversible, but diluc’s exasperation was seemingly not. cue the chain reaction that ends with instance two. in his defense, the azure haired youth wasn’t aware that utility dolls were made for that sole purpose..)

or maybe there is no moment in particular. maybe adelinde’s observation about gentle and rambunctious boys was actually a warning—one you should have heeded way sooner.

“come on, would you be so kind as to give me a clue?”

oh right, he’s still here.

the most you can muster is a tired sigh. as much as you want to kick the cavalry captain out of the tavern, you brought this upon yourself. like, who decides to drink despite knowing they'll get loose-lipped enough to accidentally let someone as annoying as him know your previously guarded secret (one of them, at least)?

invisible fingers are pointed at you.

“stop trying to guess my crush,” you reply with a tinge of defeat stirred in your tone. “despite the hint i gave you just a few minutes ago, you weren’t even close to the right answer.”

in fairness to you, the table was clean enough for another patron to stain the wooden table with a couple drops of their beverage. but there’s still an hour or two before that can take place, so now you have some time to kick back and relax. maybe you’ll finally begin that book lisa had recommended to you last week—

your face falls flat, subtly complementing your verbal delivery. “what are you doing?”

kaeya takes another step forward. and with a smirk born out of mischief painted on his lips, he dares to answer, “am i close enough now?”

“no, you’re way too far.”

far from knowing how much you actually like having him around, much further from understanding why you reluctantly play along with his antics, nowhere near seeing the vibrant colors he’s splashed across your mundane routine with his presence.

but maybe close enough to hear the confession your heart is playing for him.

in the mood no because how did this end up becoming kaeya-coded in my brain. this was supposed to be for a real life male loser where did it go wrong.

❥⠀⠀BLISS⠀⠀ && ⠀⠀ XIAO.

gender netural reader ・ waypoint wangshu inn + word count 416 genre fluff .. unestablished relationship warnings self-depreciating thoughts .. mention of food — cred. to byhees and byeuijoo for the cute layout

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀𓆩 ᪥ 𓆪

xiao doesn’t know how to be ignorant. it’s not a luxury he can afford anyway.. so why’s his heart yearning for your touch?

his fingers reach out once, twice, but not thrice—not just yet. hesitation snags him by the collar and forces him to rethink his decision. or maybe it’s the fine shards of darkness pinching him as a sour reminder of what prolonged periods of time spent around him can do to someone like you.

you, the persistent mortal who never fails to greet him with complementary treats: your warm smile and a plate of almond tofu. you, who occasionally fumbles with basic footwork but always utters such well-crafted words that can rival even the best storyteller in teyvat. you, his companion while he leans against the wooden railing of the terrace and contemplates over everything and nothing.

vibrant amber-tinted irises dart between your hand and his. xiao was made to be a servant of destruction, only to rise as a protector of the lands he’s learned to call home.

that’s all he’s good for, isn’t he?

caving into his sense of responsibility, the seemingly defeated adeptus slowly draws his hand back to his side. it’s not like he was worthy of holding yours in the first place anyway. no one with a sane mind would want to cradle a weapon that has been stained with the blood of hideous creatures who pose as a threat to liyue’s inhabitants—

“what.. what are you doing?” he stammers, shock barely veiled as he watches your fingers fill in the gaps between his.

you make pressing your bare palm against his gloved one seem so casual, so.. normal. and the way you lift your intertwined hands to kiss his knuckles? an outsider would assume you’ve done this to him before, over and over again.

xiao isn’t sure which deals more damage to his suddenly weak heart: the traces of adoration painted in your radiant gaze, or your simple yet deep answer, “giving you what you deserve.”

perhaps..

fine.

just this once, he can strip himself of the layers he’s wrapped himself in and be no one else but xiao, your admirer who shall learn how to love you without boundaries.

xiao, whose heart had fallen into your care a while ago. xiao, who shall never try to take it back from you, because he’s certain no one will look after it as well as you do.

no one will ever love him as much as you do.

in the mood i'll fix my layout later and yes i'm very late to the fandom so hello, this is amandine brainrotting somewhere in mondstadt!
