Characters: Aether, Albedo, Al Haitham, Amber, Ayaka, Ayato, Beidou, Candace, Cyno, Dainsleif, Diluc, Dehya, Gorou, Heizou, Itto, Kaeya, Kazuha, Lisa, Lumine, Layla, Nahida, Ningguang, Raiden Shogun, Scaramouche, Shenhe, Tartaglia, Thoma, Tighnari, Venti, Xiao, Yae Miko, Yelan, Zhongli
A/N: I've been working on this for a while and it got backed up thanks to finals but I hope you all like it!!
Aether (golden retriever)
It’s quite a fun morning when you wake up to a flurry of cries and laughter along with a big furry retriever pouncing on you as you just woke up.
You happily cried out for help and Paimon came to your rescue asking where Aether is, still cuddling and petting the cream colored fur as the dog's head rested on your lap.
On the dog's ear was aethers earring and you took a guess, asking the dog if he was your lover to which you got a pretty excited bark and more “kisses”.
The day is pretty much one of the best days ever as Aether gets to fawn over with cuddles and free food while you get to skip your responsibilities, running through the lands and laughing at the playful games you all played.
It’s decided that it was the result of a side effect of a domain your boyfriend recently cleared and it wore off after 24 hours but to say you were glad that it was over would be a lie.
Albedo (snow leopard)
He is a menace especially since snow leopards thrive in colder climates and naturally blend in with snow means a full day of hide and seek on Dragonspine, chasing him around and watching him observe the dancing hillichurls.
‘Bedo is of course going to let Klee pet him and cuddle near a fire if it’s cold (you get priority too), pawing at the knee for attention or to continue combing through his soft thick fur and wiggling around to show his stomach for pets.
You’re going to have to keep an eye on him as the now cat alchemist is going to try to perform experiments on himself to figure how he got in this position and with his large paws he’ll give you his best cute eyes for your help, please say no his fur almost got dyed neon pink.
Kaeya is no doubt going to catch wind of the situation and tease him about gaining a new fur coat to replace his usual white one, casually speaking about how you’re suddenly available since your boyfriend is an oversized house cat.
The cavalry captain gets a snarl and small but fierce roar as he sees Albedo get in front of you and slowly move towards him, both of you don’t see kaeya for the rest of the day and your furry alchemist lover demands rubs.
By the end of the day there will be two sheets of papers with a charcoal paw print on it and a messily done heart, paper slightly shredded but you and Klee love his gift anyway.
Alhaitham (Madagascar day gecko)
Like Albedo is a menace and uses his new form to hide from you and play games but most importantly get info that he normally wouldn’t be able to get as he’s now an ordinary seeming gecko.
Most likely he’ll find you before you find him, climbing up your back with his padded toes and smirking (you think) at your confused scattered self.
Alhaitham can’t just go about his day as normal so he does have to rely on your help much to his disagreement, wandering through the stalls and purchasing fruits for you both.
All in all a very relaxing day for the scholar compared to what he’s used to and did have fun being able to be pretty much inconspicuous, playing “catch me if you can” with his significant other.
Amber (french lop bunny)
Probably has to do with Albedo or something she ran into while being an outrider but nonetheless loves it, finally she’s like her baron bunny and adorably fluffy.
Jean gives her the day off because there really isn’t anything Amber can do in her current state and she could get hurt, you end up having a fun day to yourselves and walking through Mondstadt in with bunny amber cuddled in your arms.
You can’t help but prepare a satisfying salad for her and you, sitting just outside the city and enjoying the wind brushing through Amber’s whiskers.
The way her cotton tail twitches when she’s excited or her high hops in tall grass chasing after you, every soft small part of her is too cute.
Ayaka (persian teacup kitty)
Thoma’s going to come up to you with a mixed expression of worry and awkwardness, his hands hiding a furry pale blue moving ball that unfurled to be a kitten and according to Thoma…your girlfriend.
You’re too busy cooing over her cute cat form to listen to what Thoma was saying besides her not being able to take care of her duties, entrusting you to take care of her and watch over Miss Kamisato.
Most of the day is in her room watching her struggle to walk and fall whenever she tries to stand on two legs, not only not being able to reach items because she’s a cat but she’s a teacup cat.
She does have to admit that you’re adorable from her point of view and you give the best scratches behind her ear while she’s laying on soft blankets and weaving between your legs.
Ayato (peacock)
This is one of the best and worst days for him because he gets a day off of work for a valid reason and he gets to show off how pretty is to you. Thoma and his sister cannot stop doubling over with laughter.
The lord is almost always puffed up and displaying his feathers for you to enjoy, following you around like it’s the only possible option and occasionally cawing to get your attention.
Several times Inazumans came up to you while you were running errands and warned you that there was a very large color bird “stalking” you, turning around to see your lover trying to impress you
It was very clear that this magnificent bird was Ayato Kamisato based on its attitude and coloring but how it happened….. who knows?
Beidou (Treeing walker Coonhound)
It’s quite a shock to see the captain of the Crux fleet basking and swimming in liyue harbor under the hot sun, perking up when her nose caught your scent and shook the water off her much to the crews displeasure.
There are a couple pros when you inevitably go to Ningguang to inform her of the situation and Beidou goes right to tackling the leader with tons of wet kisses and barks, looking back at you with what you swear is a smirk or cocky expression.
As a hound she gets so many snuggles from the children and elders but her enhanced hearing and smell allow her to find more illegal deals or goods being stolen and smuggled by treasurer hoarders (they can’t hardly believe that this dogs is somehow on Captain Beidou’s size till they see you and they bolt without the goods).
At the end of the day you and her are at the front of the ship, overlooking the lanterns decorating Liyue Harbor and having your girlfriend on your lap cuddled up close to you with her head nuzzled into your stomach.
Baizhu (ball python snake)
Since he’s already used to Changsheng being on him 24/7 Baizhu going to know what to do in order to keep himself alive until whatever this is wears off but until then you and Qiqi will have to help run Bubu Pharmacy, your lover coiled around your neck to help you like his own snake as Chengsheng is around Qiqi’s hat.
It isn’t a surprise that Baizhu is playful in his serpent form, racking his brain for when or how this could have happened when he’s normally so aware of his situations but chose to ignore the reason and press light kisses again.
You take breaks for both yourself and your new snake partner who Zhongli immediately recognises but chooses not to comment on while you order food from Wanmin restaurant, going just out of the city to find some some rodents for Baizhu to snack on and holding back a gag reflex when you saw the bulge in his coils.
Whenever it’s hot out his cold bloodedness comes in handy for both of you and trailing down your body to get herbs when you cannot find them, coming back to your arms before coiling around your wrist and dropping the herbs on the counter but not without giving you a nuzzle which gets a funny comment from the customer.
Candace (coyote)
It's unusual to wake up to a coyote instead of your girlfriend but weirder things have happened before strangely enough and both of you have work to do so you couldn’t just laze about and cuddle your new canine companions.
Although now being a coyote, she can cover the area surrounding Aaru village better and fast with four legs, using her intimidation as a fierce wild dog to scare away potential threats with her bared fangs and chasing them off.
You went to work and notified people that yes Candace is okay but she was called away by the Akademiya on a mission in the desert and to come to you with concerns until she was back.
Tiredly smiling when the sun hit the horizon and you saw her slip into the village, playing around with some children before heading to you and encouraging you to brush the grit out of her fur while sunbathing.
Neither of you knew what caused this but it ended the next morning and you both chalked it up to some strange harmless magic, laughing about the fun memories while you woke up and went about your day.
Cyno (death stalker scorpion)
He’s not going to even try come up with a logical reason for how this happened but does find it ironic and is happy that he’s now the most venomous scorpion in all of Teyvat but is now terrified that he’ll accidently sting you hence why when you wake up he’s on the opposite side of the room with a book on your desk open to his species.
Immediately going to find Alhaitham with your help and bug him, pure amusement filling his heart when his colleague glared at him and skittering closer with his tail threatening to sting him. An unspoken threat hangs in the air, the Mahamatra daring the Scribe to mock his jokes without consequence.
Cyno grows to enjoy his new form as he’s just as threatening as he was when he was human and even gets more confessions as he points his stinger at the criminals neck with another Matra coldly asking him to just confess already (you’d informed the Akademiya that Cyno had been turned into a scorpion which Nahida got a kick out of but did confirm the truth).
Late in the afternoon both of you were laying on a rock in Gandharva Ville with the sun warming up your boyfriend, Tighnari had just finished examining your lover and gaining some venom from the scorpion in order to work out an anti-venom just in case but left to two of you sleeping.
Dainsleif (fruit bat)
You rarely see Dainseif because of his constant traveling but he always seems to be there when you need him and stays for as long as he can before he slips away to take care of his personal issues.
Although through everything you’ve seen with Dainsleif this has to take cake, opening your window around midnight when you heard some taps and yelping when a bat flew into your bedroom.
Clinging to your shirt and looking up at you, key details being a half mask-like mark across his face and your boyfriend's signature star eyes stopping all words coming out of your mouth. Was this your lover? It couldn’t be- but who else looked like that. It couldn’t be a coincidence.
Welp now that all your plans were cancelled since your lover unexpectedly is here and now turned into a bat for some reason but nonetheless you sat with Dain hanging from your shoulder eating a juicy fruit you’d given him and looking at you with love filled eyes.
Dehya (Bengal Tiger)
Personally thinks this is an upgrade and takes advantage of it for as long as it lasts, giving you “puppy dog eyes” to explain to Rahman what’s happened but to let her continue her jobs with you as her translator (no way she’d allow any harm to come to you) and begrudgingly agreeing to let her go.
You make sure to pack up some water and snacks (having to go out and buy some food for your tiger girlfriend) so you are nourished during the journey, setting out with a happy oversized cat purring and rubbing against you with no care of the onlookers concerned or confused faces.
All of her work goes smoothly with you having to occasionally step in to explain what’s happened and her enemies not willing to fight an overgrown pyro infused tiger with only a simple weapon.
Evening is one of the best, both of you laying down in front of the fire and stroking the big cat that’s smothering you with wet kisses, chuffing while nudging her head against your hand as you take another piece of fruit for yourself and some grilled meat for her.
Diluc (red tailed hawk)
Usually you woke up to your fire haired lover’s tight grip on your waist before he’d kiss your head and sneak off to get ready for his busy day but today you awoke to a soft chirp and light nips to your cheek by a red tailed hawk. Strangely it wasn’t freaking out externally but tried to get more comfortable next to you as you just froze in shock and looked around the room for your lover or some explanation of what’s going on.
Your feathery friend flew over to a pile of Diluc’s uniform and dropped his glove and vision in your lap, picking up the edge of the glove with its beak and trying to slip the glove over its talon. Its scarlet eyes desperately looking at you with some sort of desire only known to it and causing your thoughts to wander to how similar the bird and him were.
Eventually accepting that your boyfriend was now a bird for an unspecified period of time and calling in Adelinde to explain the situation in order to cancel or reschedule any business meetings. You carded your fingers through Diluc’s red feathers who was now on your shoulder observing the view from outside the Winery and flew out to one of the rows of grapes, picking off one with his talons and eating it with a content coo.
Both of you did have to go into Mondstat to take care of Angel’s Share where Venti cackled upon seeing the famous intimidating bartender and Kaeya was a bit more snarky fully aware of the damage the hawk could inflict. But the aerial view of the city when he would fly around the cathedral was breathtaking to say the least and he wished more than anything to share this view with you, swooping down to you as you came to the base of Barbatos’s statue with to chicken skewers smiling up at him and offering him some dinner from Good Hunter.
Il Dottore (blue ringed octopus)
As far as you know this was probably his doing because frankly it seems like it was something he’d do just for kicks and it was another new accomplishment he could brag about but apparently something went awry when the fatui agent directly under his command came running to get you.
You were about to be handed an octopus but ripped your hands away when you realized the species of cephalopod to be the highly venomous blue ringed octopus which your lover often raved about and nearly yelled at the agent for attempting to kill you before the tiny sea creature pointed an arm towards a note on the doctor’s table.
After reading the note that basically said Dottore maybe fucked up by adding a chemical he wasn’t supposed to into his recent already unstable concoction and that you had to take care of him until the effects wore off in about 24 hours.
The rest of the day was pretty relaxing given you had to carry around a full container of water that your lover resided in. It was eventful with you occasionally slipping him bits of fish and having him climb up your arm to your shoulder to watch the world from your view compared to his small one.
Gorou (Shiba)
General Gorou personally doesn’t like this new development because some people (Yae Miko) already saw him as part dog despite various attempts of him doing everything he could to just get others to ignore his canine features.
So when he woke up one morning feeling a bit smaller than usual and went to rub his face but saw paws instead of his hand, freaking out and immediately turning over to wake you up but only getting out scared barks or whines.
After almost an hour of calming Gorou down with the help of Kokomi who agreed that until your boyfriend was back to normal he wouldn't be allowed to do any work as general.
Well Gorou wasn’t happy with the situation but he came around to liking it when he realized that he get’s to spend all of his time with you it clicked and eagerly asked for more cuddles now that you could both sleep in until lunch.
Heizou (ferret)
Chaos. I don’t feel like I need to say anything else if you know what ferrets are generally like and if you don’t then please look it up it’s hilarious (also fits Heizou’s personality to a T), but better pray for the Tenryou Commission when he wakes up and get ASAP before Sara breaks her “No killing Heizou under any circumstances” rule.
This boy is so slippery even when he’s human but loves to run around you while climbing you up and down as he gives playful kisses on your face, not to mention his coat is gorgeous with bits of tanish brown mixed with stripes of vibrant red and gold along his fur.
It’s going to take more than one person if they want to get him off of you, trying not to touch you in the wrong places as the guard attempts to get Heizou out from your clothes and even if they’re successful the detective is going to nip at them so he can further secure himself around your neck.
You do love it when he’s peaceful, eating bits of fruits or grilled meat from your hand and nuzzling her soft cute face into your cheek (Heizou is going to make it up to you for all the trouble he caused later with cuddles).
Itto (bull)
Please help this man or bull who woke up so frightened that he wasn��t an Oni anymore that he crashed through a wall of your house and it took the entire gang, including both shinobu and you with the threat of Kujou Sara to get him to stop rampaging.
Also in this I imagine that he’s not Ushi sized but full on bull sized but with his signature red horns and red marking colored in his black/grey fur.
It’s going to take more than a couple minutes to tell him what’s going on (Sara already has Heizou trying to figure out what happened) but afterwards finds it pretty cool and naturally offers local Inazuman kids a ride.
You ensure them it’s safe with you going on him as well and the entire day is filled with the laughs of kids thanking their favorite Oni for bull rides, whispering comments to you about your lover’s protectiveness whenever another person gets a bit too close for comfort (like anyone would want to face off against an angry bull).
Kaeya (peacock)
This man is already cocky but now as he’s a bird know for being gorgeous and pretty, will not stop preening himself or looking for some way to impress you.
Each of his feathers has his signature star eye instead of it’s normal colors on his plumage which doesn’t take long to put two and two together, calming yourself down and laughing at your lover’s attempt to console you by perching himself on your lap (encouraging you to use his soft feather to distract yourself).
Both of you silently agree that it’d cause way more of an issue if you went out with an unusually colored peacock of all things (something not native to Mondstadt) and stayed home, sneaking out to walk among the gardens at twilight and admire the luminescent moon lighting up the path.
Kazuha (yellow ragdoll cat)
Such a good kitty he is, doesn’t panic upon realizing his new form but does have some concerns and atm he can’t do anything so he might as well relax with you until you start your day which doesn’t take long.
He’s so adorably cute and you cannot help yourself when you sweep him up in your arms, your lover is happily purring and swiping his paw over the signature red streak to hopefully clue you in. Luckily you took it well with minor panic but ultimately hoped it’d wear off after a day or so and scratched his head as you strolled through Inazuma City.
Many people flock to you and ask to pet your “cat”, commenting on his red streak and cooing at him whenever he walks around on your shoulders purring.
The samurai naturally attracts cats, so expect to be followed by a herd of cats which isn’t bad because they’re all so fluffy and Kazuha would rather nap on you when you’re basking in the sun which leads to a cuddle pile.
Kokomi (full moon betta fish)
Honestly how either of you got into this scenario is a mystery but needless to say it involved a very worried and concerned general Gorou cradling a small glass bowl with a beautiful pink and purple white full moon betta fish.
Most of the day was spent carefully resting in Kokomi’s room in order to avoid any soldiers in case they came looking when Gorou informed the resistance that her excellency wasn’t feeling well which wasn’t technically a lie although your girlfriend tried to convey that she wanted to go outside and swim in some shallow pools.
The happiness you could feel coming off her in waves as she excitedly swam among the shores of Watatsumi Island and fluttered about in between your legs when you walked in the water beside her.
Soon or later you ran with her in her bowl trying to escape Gorou for yelling at you for “endangering” Kokomi and understanding you’re her significant other but that doesn’t mean you get to steal her away (your girlfriend begged to differ).
Layla (sloth)
It fits her very well mostly due to how cute she is and her clinginess whenever she’s asleep, waking up one morning to feel a tight grasp on your waist and being a bit frightened to see a small icy blue sloth peacefully sleeping on your stomach.
You looked around to see your girlfriend’s signature star head accessory sitting atop their head, having heard to the Akademiya’s recent mess you’d believe pretty much anything and your Layla being an adorable sloth was not your life until the foreseeable future.
After locking the door so she couldn’t do any of her work (not like she could anyway), you went out to the nearby markets to get some breakfast and kept her close to you, her arms now wrapped around your neck and happily stared at your focused expressions.
Upon her request (really just her pointing at the House of Daena repeatedly) you went into the library and checked out some books in a small corner to her joy, cooing at her cute form and running your hands through her fur which she seemed to like).
Lisa (fine haired Persian cat)
You were in the library petting a gorgeous Persian lavender cat when the Acting Grandmaster bust into the room frantically asking if you knew where Lisa was and yelling that someone went wrong when the librarian as helping Albedo out with a recent experiment only to see you with the cat happily purring on your lap. “Oh good you found her.”
Obviously after the explanation that your lover had been accidently turned into a cat you couldn’t help but coo at her more than you did before you knew and cozy up in a faraway section of the library with some pillows and take a nap among the many books lining the shelves.
Napping away when the sun warmed both of you up and groaning when she pawed your face with her little fuzzy mittens, yawning as you got up to get food for both of you at good hunter and brought her back to your little pillow nest.
Lumine (cream tabby cat)
Just like Aether you woke up to a sound you hadn’t heard in a while which was a very friendly pale yellow tabby cat sleeping on your chest whose eyes fluttered as you began to fully wake up and nudged your cheek affectionately.
It didn’t take a genius to realize somehow that the traveler had somehow turned into a cat and until further knowledge so you had no choice but to care for your girlfriend, who was happily getting a lot of attention from you.
Your companions found this very amusing and Paimon did occasionally laugh at the way the traveler plays with the leaf being tossed about in the wind but quickly shuts up when she tries to take a swipe at Paimon.
There isn’t an hour where you and her aren’t connected in some way and Lumine often naps on top of your shoulders as you go about your day doing your chores, chuckling to yourself at the content purring kitty sleeping on around your neck.
Nahida (butterfly)
A/N: this can be read as either platonic or familial love
It’s not going to be easy to find her but she’ll let you know very easily via a dream and she archon magic, flapping her gorgeous green and white wings all around you while dropping small flowers on you.
Nahida is definitely going to need some help when it comes to eating and you can definitely hear phantom giggles as you cut into a slide of zaytun peach, biting into one yourself and lifting it to your shoulder where the dendro archon is perched.
There is no doubt that she’s going to lead to to the Aranara Village, introducing you to all her friends who without a doubt both know it’s her and adore you (many flower crowns were made for you that day and you brought all of them home).
You can tell just by how Nahida acts (even if it’s just flying about) that she’s happy to have another form of freedom where she doesn’t have to be Sumeru’s archon and just have fun, gliding from flower to flower that just seem to reach towards her every time she passes them.
Pantalone (arabian horse)
All you woke up to really loud noises and a bunch of whining which scared you awake and nearly screamed when you saw a fully grown black stallion worriedly pacing around the room, quickly backing yourself against the headboard and rapidly looking around for your lover but calling out his name.
To your surprise the horse looks your way and something in his eyes softens before stopping to a halt, nudging something towards you that was knocked onto the floor and picking it up to see it was Pantalone’s slightly cracked glasses.
No explanation could be given but you did have a very amusing time trying to get him out of the house without damaging or breaking anything, but the harbinger got back at you by sweeping you up on his back and galloping across the snowy fields.
You could vaguely hear happy winnies whenever you yelped or shrieked from the fast pace he was setting and would use his head to nudge you back onto his back. Anyone could tell that this horse was very prideful about its handsome appearance and you couldn’t deny it.
Raiden Shogun (Jaguar)
Needless to say walking back into your shared room only to see a violet patterned jaguar was enough to get you to call out to nearby guards and your breath fell short when you got the big cats attention, freezing in place as you slowly backed up and dropped the desserts had bought for you both.
You didn’t even have to run because it easily smelled the sweets and laid down to munch of them, nudging one toward you and watching you keenly with her tail swishing idly behind her; of course that’s when the guards came in and pushed you behind them in order to stop you from being harmed.
After a long accident involving the cat hissing at the guards and keeping you behind her, lifting her chest to show an exact copy of the symbol the archon had and sparks of lightning emanating from her paws marking up the matted floors. The message was clear that this was somehow their archon and didn't touch what’s important to her, without hesitation Yae Miko was called.
Ei was so much more calm when they left, you could feel that she was overall done with everyone and just wanted to relax with you (which you both did), escaping away to the secret garden where you hid among some flowers and napped with your lover now a jaguar purring quite happily.
Kunikuzushi/Wanderer (black ragdoll cat)
Nahida called urgently called you to the Sanctuary of Surasthana because something worrisome had happened involving the wanderer and to not panic because it wasn’t too bad, the situation you got only increased your anxiety when you ran in through the doors only to hear the archon’s voice yelling to “Close the door before he gets out!” and briefly seeing a black puff ball scurrying towards you while hissing.
The obsidian ragdoll cat uses you as a shield as he angrily hisses and takes swipes at Kusanali who is clearly having a lot of fun although it seems very stressful, thanking you and scolding the cat who she calls “Wanderer” for trying to escape when someone was trying to help him (you do a double take at that).
She explains that she doesn’t have an explanation but roughly knows what happened and most likely angered some Aranara who specialized in illusion magic to which you try and pay attention to her however your eyes haven’t left your lover’s pale indigo ones.
You go to pick him up (he strangely gave you a onceover before jumping onto your chest without warning) and nearly fell while glaring at him annoyed with his actions, the anemo user only squirmed in your arms to get more comfortable and blinked up at you once settled with false innocent eyes that you were all too familiar with.
Thankfully it was raining so even if he did get out he wouldn’t get far, so begrudgingly agreed to stay at the Sanctuary until he changed back and (much to his embarrassment) started purring when you pet him right behind the ears, looking around to double check if the damned archon was around before allowing himself to relax and wind his tail around your hand lovingly.
Shenhe (red crowned crane)
For sure is going to wake up confused and curious, pecking you awake as softly as she can and nudging you with her head to try to get you up.
At first you thought that she was Cloud Retainer and freaked out, scrambling out of bed and brushing the invisible dirt off your clothes to greet her correctly.
Upon noticing that it was your girlfriend, you chose to ask Cloud Retainer herself who also didn’t know what was going on but assured you it was temporary.
Shenhe flew across the lakes, freezing the water in spiral patterns and landing gracefully on the ice to invite you over to skate.
Tartaglia (red fox)
Him and Heizou have something in common and it’s still being able to cause mass amounts of chaos despite being non human, the entire day will be spent chasing him around while you try to clean up the messes he “accidently” causes.
No doubt one of his antics is going to be finding Zhongli and being playful but just tolerable enough to not be thrown into Liyue harbor, squealing and gekkering when Hu Tao came up to ruffle his tangled fur.
By mid afternoon you’d given up searching for your boyfriend and gone to sit by the harbor, swinging your legs off the dock and feeling a certain soft fox cuddle his way under your arms as an apology.
Thoma (Shiba)
You’re called over by the Kamisato siblings who were trying their best to keep it together and hold in their laughter while they led you to a room containing a dog that looked suspiciously like Taroumaru, noticing that he wore your lover's black metal headband and similar happy go lucky smile.
The two explained that somehow Thoma had been transformed into a shiba when they came to check in on him when he hadn’t said good morning and the only idea they had was to get you so no one else found out, asking you to watch over him until either of them found out a way to turn him back.
Thoma who’d been contently laying in your lap and snuggling against the hand petting him perked up at that sentences, barely able to contain his barks of excitement and running circles around you.
It was rare that the housekeeper got a day off and this was a strange incident but he’d take it, leaving you to chase after him through the city and coming back with some food a chef had given him because of his cuteness.
Tighnari (fennec fox)
There’s really nothing different except for the lack of control, short height, people cooing over him- yeah he officially hates it and scampers off into the Avidya forest to continue his duties. Even if he’s now an actual fennec fox instead of just being a hybrid like he was previously, a small hiccup isn’t going to stop him no matter how much Collei pleaded.
He is shocked that you instantly know who he is based on his various shades of green and blue coat coloring (not missing the hint of pink on his ears and nose) and hazel curious eyes, looking around before jumping into your arms and silently pleading for you to hide him.
You do manage to convince him to take a walk through the forest towards a small river runs and sweet Zaytun Peaches, mint, and Harra fruit grow; biting into one of them and savoring its sweet flavor before offering the other to Tighnari who happily took it.
He gives you the best privilege you could ever have and it’s cuddling him as a fox, it isn’t surprising you fall asleep with your boyfriend in your arms who is slowly falling victim to fatigue as well (he didn’t notice Collei peaked through the door and took a picture for later).
Venti (Mocking Bird)
Like Tighnari, the archon is already like a bird so it doesn’t affect him so much until you and Diluc tell him that he can’t drink any alcohol cause it might kill him in this form and he’s not going to chance leaving you behind in this world (although the face the red head made after you were finally able to convince him the bird was Venti was pure gold).
Your boyfriend never leaves your side and is able to hear all the songs that he can make as a mocking bird, including anything he overhears from anyone else and being able to mimic it completely.
He spends most of his time nested in your hair and showing off his beautiful feather pattern to his beloved, green and blue swirls painted on his brown and white wings (a small Anemo symbol placed on his chest).
Windrise’s massive oak tree provides lots of shade and roots for sitting on as you sit against the bark as Venti flutters about in the air joyously, occasionally stopping and giving you a love peck while he picks up some diced apple with his beak to nice.
Xiao (Blue-backed Manakin)
Takes the whole “fierce harsh warrior” and turns it on its head as he tries to figure out if this new form is because of his karma or just the world laughing at him, overall is very grumpy and does his best to avoid you knowing you’ll coo over his new bird form.
Light but harsh repeated pecking against glass gets your attention and you see a small bluish black manakin bird perched on the window sill trying to get out but freezing when they lock eyes with you.
You recognise the purple triangle that your lover has tattooed on his forehead and remember something he had mentioned about his previous form being a bird, putting the two together and scooping him into your hands; five minutes later both you are on the same page and will later see Zhongli for help but for now you’re okay with some snuggles after some puppy eyes (which Xiao knows he can’t stand strong against).
When the time finally arrives to find the ex-geo archon, Xiao finds a comfy stop nestled on top of your head (bonus point that he can also keep in contact with you and lookout) and does unconsciously let out small chirps when you nuzzle his chest or mention how beautiful his feathers are (which you wish could keep one and luckily enough are gifted one by him as your arrive in Liyue).
Yae Miko (arctic fox)
The Guiji does change into her fox form on occasion and when you’re at your lowest in need of comfort but never out in public where others can see her but something must have gone wrong because now she can’t transform back into her human form which alarms both her and you.
Doesn’t let anyone see her and curls up in her room as she tries to figure out what happened however you manage to sneak into her room, using your puppy dog eyes to your advantage.
Yelan (Black widow spider)
Something was scattering across your face and opening your eyes to see a larger than normal black widow spider to which your reaction was to scream in fear, throwing the spider to the other side of your room and desperately checking your face for bites while grabbing a big book on the shelf next to you.
When you turned back the arachnid was busy using it’s webbing to write something on the floor, quirking your head so didn’t have to move but you could see and becoming genuinely shocked at the sight of your lovers name being written in blue glowing silk (it’s artist looking up at you with all 8 eyes).
It took a lot of patience but you came to accept the fact that your fiersome girlfriend was now one of the most venomous spiders in all of Teyvat until you could change Yelan back but you’d make the most of it and she’d weave complex designs out of her webbing for you.
Another perk was that the hydro user could now gather intel more easily because of her new form and much to your dismay she crept out of the house to continue on her recent mission but just before midnight you felt a soft cloth brush against your face (Yelan had made herself a little bed on the headboard).
Zhongli (standard bearded dragon)
Generally alright with his new form but isn’t happy that he can’t drink tea anymore whenever he tries which only ends in your holding all of his tea hostage for fear of what it’d do based to his reptile body and Zhongli with his now obsidian black beard rather than the normal beige.
He does enjoy basking in the Liyue sun that beats down on a roof he’s taken a liking to after giving you a slip and flattens himself out into (as you like to call it) “pancake mode” to best enjoy the sun’s heat.
Hu Tao upon hearing why he can’t come to work cannot stop laughing and taking photos via her Kamera but lets you both off until a solution appears.
The day consists of you with your lover on your shoulder and walking around the plains of Liyue, more than once does he speed off to investigate a commotion and finds out he is very fast on all fours.

Genshin girls: Dehya, noelle, Eula, Shenhe, Kujou Sara. Ayaka And Yae Miko
Reacting to S/O’s mom leaning close to S/O and not so quietly asking when she should she expect grandchildren
(Genshin Impact) Dehya, Noelle, Eula, Shenhe, Sara, Ayaka, and Yae being asked THAT question by S/O's parents
Tumblr media
(Source: Yuushibadesu on twitter)
Tumblr media
Dehya laughed at the question and S/O's reaction, as they hurriedly tried to shush their mother.
(Dehya) "Hm...I'll just get back to you on that one!"
However, she does start thinking about it after the dinner.
Kids? She had so much to do to truly live up to the legend of the Lion, and having a kid was not on the agenda.
Dehya isn't sure she's ready for kids anytime soon, or if she would ever be. But, always time later to think about that, right?
Tumblr media
(Noelle) "Kids?!"
Noelle is way too young to be thinking about that!
She's just as flustered as S/O, watching the mother only laugh at their reactions.
(Noelle) "I'm far too busy, ma'am! I have to be accepted into the Knights of Favonius, and then there'll be so much to do afterwards!"
It's a topic she shoves into the back of her mind. Kids are the furthest thing from her agenda of things to do.
...Well, at least S/O's mother approved of her.
Tumblr media
Eula almost chokes on her food upon hearing the question.
(Eula) "A-Ah...kids?"
She tries to recollect herself and clears her throat.
(Eula) "I am glad you approve of me that much, ma'am but...Kids are not in my foreseeable future. I have many responsibilities to attend to as a Knight of Favonius."
Though honestly, she's using her position as an excuse not to talk about it.
First she'd have to get the approval of Mondstadt so her kid wouldn't get bullied, which would be impossible.
But, the hurdle of the parents approving of her was passed it seemed.
Tumblr media
(Shenhe) "Grandchildren?"
Funnily enough, Cloud Retainer had asked the same thing when Shenhe brought S/O to meet her.
And she still has the same answer.
(Shenhe) "I do not know."
She's not entirely opposed, but not in favor either.
Before anything else, Shenhe wants to feel emotions without the red string inhibiting her violent impulses.
Kids can come later.
That does not stop S/O's mother, or Cloud Retainer from asking constantly, however.
Tumblr media
Sara completely halts when she processes what S/O's mother had said.
(Sara) "G-Grandchildren...?!"
Her professional air is shattered for the briefest moment before responding.
(Sara) "Until Inazuma is fully stabilized, I'm afraid children is out of the question. I would like them to be raised when we can all rest easy, ma'am."
Sara is a little flustered, but she meant what she said.
Until everyone's safe, there can be no rest.
...She did wonder how much of her Youkai blood would be part of their child, however.
Tumblr media
Ayaka spits out her drink and coughs violently, being completely taken off guard.
(Ayaka) "A-Ah, please forgive the mess!" COUGH "i-I was not ready for such a question!"
Ayaka apologizes profusely while her cheeks did their best impression of a tomato.
She barely had time for herself, let alone S/O! The last thing she wanted to do was neglect their own child!
For now? Kids are absolutely out of the question.
Tumblr media
(Yae) "Hm, that is a rather good question S/O. When are we having kids?"
Yae gives a dangerous and teasing smile to S/O, tilting her head and enjoying the reaction of their pride dying on the inside.
In all fairness, Yae doesn't particularly care for children at this very moment.
It would add excitement to her life to be sure, but there were...more serious matters when it came to that question.
Such as Yae herself outliving S/O. Would their child live as long as her, or would she outlive them too?
Regardless, that was not the topic to bring up at a family dinner, so she lets those thoughts go unsaid.

And for a moment I thought you were here. But then again, it wasn't true
PART 1 | PART 2 | PART 3 - You found me | PART 4 | PART 5
As Scaramouche's name slipped from your lips, his pulse quickened, and his heart seemed to skip a beat. The world around him faded into the background, leaving only you in his vision. He watched as you took a moment to compose yourself, replacing the shock in your eyes with a kind smile. It wasn't the same smile you had once greeted him with, filled with warmth and affection, but it wasn't marred by regret either. He noticed how you raised your forefinger, indicating that you needed a minute. You turned around and spoke with Diluc. The bartender's red hair and usual scowl were a contrast to the gentleness in his eyes as he spoke with you, nodding at your words. Scaramouche couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling that he had no right to feel.
As you walked towards their table, towards him, he felt a whirlwind of emotions crashing over him. His stomach felt queasy, and he wanted to say something, anything, to break the tension, but his words seemed to have failed him. He had imagined this moment countless times, how he would react if he ever saw you again, but now that it was happening, he felt utterly unprepared. As you reached the table, Scaramouche forced a smile, trying to appear unaffected by the tumultuous storm of emotions raging inside him. "Hey," he greeted you, trying to keep his voice steady.
"(Y/n), it's really been a while," Miyo chimed in, her excitement still evident in her voice.
You nodded, your eyes meeting Scaramouche's briefly before you turned your attention back to Miyo. "Yeah, it has, hasn’t it?" you replied.
Venti, with his mischievous grin still intact, turned to the trio—Scaramouche, Miyo, and you—and asked, "So, do you all know each other?"
You were the first to respond. "Yes, we do," you replied calmly.
Venti smacked himself lightly on the forehead, his eyes widening with realization. "Ah, I completely forgot!" he exclaimed. "You're from Inazuma! You've been living in Mondstadt for so long and adapting so well that it feels like you've been here all your life, (y/n)."
Scaramouche clenched his teeth at the familiarity with which Venti spoke with you, as if Venti knew you better than he did.
Miyo, ever observant, noticed the change in his behavior. "Scara, are you alright?" she asked, concern in her voice.
Scaramouche managed a strained smile, "I'm fine. Just fine. How about you (Y/n)? You doing okay?"
You grinned widely, trying to dispel any worries. "I've been doing great," you said, your tone confident.
Scaramouche wanted to scoff. Of course, you’d say that. It wasn’t like you were going to admit if anything was amiss. After all, he had pushed you away with his harsh cruel words. You had appearances to keep, didn’t you? But he knew that there was truth in what you said as well. He could see the changes in you, both physically and emotionally, since the last time he had seen you three years ago. Your nails were painted a pretty shade of pink, a detail he never would have noticed back then. The color had returned to your skin, and you seemed more vibrant than ever. But most importantly, the sparkle in your eyes, the one that had dimmed in the past, had returned, and it fascinated him.
Miyo's face lit up with excitement as she beamed at you. "Oh, that's great!" she exclaimed. "Why don't you join us for a few drinks? We can catch up. I would love to know what’s been going on with you over the past few years!"
Scaramouche shot Miyo a pleading look, hoping she'd understand his unspoken request. As curious as he was about you, he wasn't mentally prepared to interact with you, not now, not like this.
You giggled at Miyo's suggestion, the warmth in your laughter reaching Scaramouche's ears like a sweet melody. "As much as I'd like that," you replied, "I promised Diluc that I'd help him behind the bar today."
Venti chimed in, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Ah, that's perfect then," he said with a mischievous grin. "Having you here at Angel's Share means Diluc will be much more lax with my open tab." He winked at you.
You laughed and retorted, "I wouldn't push for that if I were you, Venti."
Venti chuckled playfully, scratching the back of his neck. "Oh, come on, (Y/n), it's worth a try." Before you could say more, he called out loudly, "Master Diluc, join us for a moment, preferably with more drinks!"
Scaramouche noticed Diluc rolling his eyes at Venti's exuberance, quickly wiping his hands with tissues before making his way to the table. The scowl that Scaramouche associated with the redhead was back on Diluc's face, but this time, Scaramouche felt like it was directed at him. He couldn't help but feel uneasy under Diluc's gaze, sensing an intensity in the man's eyes that made him uncomfortable.
As Scaramouche observed Diluc approaching the table, a surge of uncertainty washed over him. Did Diluc know about him or about his history, or lack thereof, with you? The thought gnawed at him, leaving him with a bitter taste of insecurity. He watched as Diluc stood close to you, his hand resting gently on your back. Despite the stern exterior that Diluc portrayed, Scaramouche couldn't help but notice the gentleness in his touch towards you. He was tall and well-built, an imposing figure, yet Scaramouche couldn't deny the subtle affection he displayed with you.
You took the initiative to make introductions, turning to face Scaramouche and Miyo. "Luc, this is Scaramouche and his girlfriend Miyo," you said, a hint of formality in your tone.
Miyo corrected you with a grin, "Fiancé, actually! Look!" She proudly showed off her engagement ring, and Scaramouche found the gesture adorable. Miyo's excitement about their engagement was infectious, and it momentarily lifted the heavy atmosphere around them.
“Oh wow. That’s a big rock!” You smiled at Miyo. “Congratulations to both of you!!”
Scaramouche couldn't help but feel a slight disappointment in how genuine you sounded. Did you really mean those words, or were you merely being polite? The insecurity gnawed at him, and he quickly pushed the thought away, not wanting to entertain any false hopes.
You turned your attention back to Diluc and said, "And this is Diluc, my boyfriend and my boss for tonight." You teased the redhead.
Diluc nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze shifting between Scaramouche and Miyo. There was a flicker of something in his eyes, an unreadable emotion that made Scaramouche's heart race even faster. It only added to the complexity of the emotions swirling inside Scaramouche. Here was the man you were now involved with, someone he knew nothing about, and it gnawed at him.
Diluc politely extended his hand, "Nice to meet you," he said with a calm demeanor.
Scaramouche replied in kind, trying his best to keep his composure. "Likewise," he said, keeping his tone even as he noticed Diluc's arm still placed on your back. It took everything in Scaramouche not to squeeze too hard, controlling his temper as he got a closer look at the man while shaking his hand. Diluc had red eyes that seemed to be always glaring, coupled with fiery red hair that made him look rough around the edges. He looked aloof and there was an aura of mystery around this man. He didn't seem like the type of guy Scaramouche would usually imagine you being attracted to, which only fueled his curiosity further. But then again, what did he know about your preferences?
Miyo, in a talkative spirit, complimented Diluc about the bar and how much she enjoyed Dawn Winery's products even in Inazuma. She playfully joked that he should consider opening a distillery in Inazuma to make the products more accessible and less expensive. "Think about all the business you'd get," she added.
Diluc chuckled, his tone carrying a mix of confidence and wit. "If you draft a proposal that catches my interest, I might just give it some serious thought," he replied.
Venti took this opportunity to excuse himself to the bathroom, leaving the four of you to continue the conversation. Diluc then turned his attention to Scaramouche, a hint of smugness in his eyes. "I'm sorry, ‘Your Highness’. I don't quite know how to address you," Diluc said, "I've heard that you are the prince of Inazuma."
Scaramouche's eyes widened, a sudden realization hitting him like a bolt of lightning. Diluc knew. He probably knew everything about Scaramouche and your history. The thought made Scaramouche's heart race, and he quickly composed himself, brushing off the prince title. "I'm here on vacation, away from any royal titles and responsibilities," Scaramouche replied tersely, "Scaramouche will do just fine." His alias felt less formal then his own name.
Deep down, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Diluc's knowledge of his past, his connection with you, it all left him feeling exposed. He felt like Diluc was silently judging him, sizing him up in a way that made him restless.
Diluc's attention was drawn away by another bartender who called out, "Master Diluc!" Scaramouche noticed how you and Diluc looked at each other, not saying anything, but there was an unspoken understanding passing between you two. He couldn't help but feel like an outsider, as if he were witnessing a private moment that he was excluded from.
You took a deep breath, breaking the silent exchange, and turned to Scaramouche and Miyo. "I'm sorry, but we have to go."
Miyo perked up and proposed, "How about the four of us do dinner together tomorrow? It would be a good opportunity for us to catch up but also to get to know ‘Master’ Diluc better."
Scaramouche felt like protesting the idea, but he bit the inside of his cheek to restrain himself. He noticed you hesitating, and he hoped you would decline, but then you looked at Diluc again. Something passed between the two of you, a silent communication that Scaramouche couldn't grasp, and Diluc nodded in agreement.
"I'll reserve a table for four at Good Hunter's," Diluc said calmly.
"That's perfect!” You tiptoe and place a soft kiss on Diluc’s cheek causing Scaramouche’s stomach to churn. “It's one of the best restaurants in Mondstadt." You explain to Miyo and Scaramouche.
Scaramouche observed your eyes crinkling with excitement, a sight he hadn't seen in a long time. He remembered how you used to look at him with the very same expression when he relented to your whimsical ideas, which slowly faded over the years, until he never saw it on you again after he started dating Miyo. Diluc and you excused yourself and walked side by side towards the bar.
The rest of the evening unfolded with Venti regaling them with stories about Mondstadt, its history, and the various peculiar characters that inhabited the city. The bar was alive with laughter, chatter, and the clinking of glasses as patrons enjoyed the delicious wine and lively atmosphere. Yet, amidst the jovial ambiance, Scaramouche's focus remained solely on you. He watched with a mix of emotions as you confidently handled the bar, effortlessly mixing and pouring drinks with ease. Your playful banter with the waiters and other bartenders was met with smiles and laughter. Your ease and charm were evident, and Scaramouche couldn't help but feel a twinge of surprise at the way you seemed to fit in so effortlessly. He noticed how your eyes would often seek the redhead, and how there were fleeting exchanges of touches between the two of you. A gentle touch on his shoulder as you handed him a drink, or him tucking a stray lock of hair behind your ear. Each touch sent a jolt through Scaramouche, sparking a sense of uncomfortable emotions that only grew as he continued to watch you and Diluc interact with each other.
As he observed you animatedly talking with the bar's patrons, he noticed that many of them seemed familiar with you. It made him wonder, were you always this extroverted? Back in college, when you used to hang out with him and his friends, you were like a silent spectator, never truly engaging or joining in on the fun. It now dawned on him that you weren't quiet because you didn't want to join in on the fun; you were quiet because you didn't feel welcome. He remembered the jokes they made at your expense, the way they poked fun at your quirks and eccentricities.
The music blared loudly in his dorm room, and the air was filled with the chatter and laughter of exchange students from Snezhnaya. Scaramouche found himself sitting among a few of his classmates, including Signora, Zandik, and Ajax. You were there too, sitting next to him, though you seemed quieter than usual, perhaps overshadowed by the boisterous atmosphere. Ajax was sharing stories of his adventures with his father on Snezhnaya’ s frozen river, where they would go fishing in the ice during the cold winters. "It's quite an experience, you know," Ajax grinned, his eyes shining with excitement.
You chimed in, your voice soft but sincere, "I've never seen snow in my life. It must be so beautiful."
For a moment, an awkward silence fell upon the group. Scaramouche noticed everyone, including himself, staring at you with a mix of surprise and curiosity. Zandik, always the one to speak his mind, broke the silence with a thoughtful expression. "People who get too comfortable with one place never see beyond it," he remarked cryptically.
Signora sneered at you and directed her response to Zandik, "You're assuming too much, Zandik. She doesn't even look comfortable in her own little dress."
The comment elicited a round of laughter, and Scaramouche couldn't help but join in, though he noticed how uncomfortable your smile appeared. Ajax quickly intervened, calling for everyone to go easy on you. "No need to be so harsh on her guys," he said, his tone gentle, "We're all here to have a good time." Ajax then turned to you with a warm smile, "If you ever find yourself in Snezhnaya, I'd be more than happy to show you around."
You whispered a quiet thank you, and Scaramouche playfully chimed in, "Well, she'd first have to leave Inazuma for that, but you know her, barely leaves her room."
The remark earned him some chuckles, but Scaramouche couldn't help but feel frustrated as he noticed how your smile faltered.
Scaramouche's thoughts were interrupted as he saw Diluc subtly grab your hips to move around you behind the bar. His eyes narrowed as he noticed the way Diluc's fingers caressed and gently squeezed your waist, and the way he leaned in to whisper something in your ear, earning a playful giggle from you. He felt a surge of irritation building within him. You were slipping away, moving on with your life, and he couldn't help but feel like he was being left behind. He was the one who walked away from you in the first place, he reminded himself.
He sighed, feeling a mix of frustration and exhaustion. "Miyo, I think I'm tired. Can we call it a night?" he said, trying to hide the bitterness in his tone.
Miyo nodded, understandingly. "Sure, Scara. After a whole day of sightseeing, I'm feeling pretty tired too."
As they said their goodbyes to Venti, Scaramouche couldn't help but feel defeated. Seeing you with Diluc, witnessing the ease and affection between you, was a harsh reminder that he was no longer the center of your world. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of emotions, struggling to make sense of everything that had transpired that evening. He felt envious of the connection between you and Diluc, yet he knew it was irrational to feel that way. He had walked away from you, and now, seeing you happy and involved with someone else, he should be happy that you moved on, but why was he feeling frustrated instead? Is this how you felt when you had to see Miyo and him almost every day?  You must have struggled to hold your ground, to bear witness to their happiness while hoping that it could have been you by his side. You must have been enduring this torment for months, you bore the burden of pain while he could barely stand a fleeting encounter with you and Diluc for a few hours.
His mind was consumed by thoughts of you and the realization that he had been holding on to you, thinking your world would still be consumed by him while he moved forward with Miyo. As he walked beside Miyo, he tried to put on a brave front, to push aside the turmoil within him.  The streets of Mondstadt were alive with the bustling nightlife, but Scaramouche felt detached from it all.
-------------------------------------
As you applied body lotion to your arms, you noticed Diluc lying on the bed, scrolling through his phone. You couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious after the encounter at the bar with Scaramouche. Before you could stop yourself, the words slip out of your mouth. "She's nice, isn't she?" you asked casually, referring to Miyo.
Diluc looked up from his phone, raising an eyebrow. "Hmm, who?" he inquired.
"Miyo," you replied, still focused on your task of applying lotion.
He shrugged, placing his phone on the nightstand. "I don't know her well enough to make that judgment yet. Why do you ask?" he questioned.
You sighed softly and said nothing at first, unsure if you should share your feelings with him. “It’s nothing” You offer a small smile.
Diluc rests his weight on his elbow, pushing himself up to sit beside you on the bed. He gives you a knowing look and says your name, "(Y/n)," in a tone that's familiar, a tone that he uses when he had to admonish you. “There wouldn’t have been a question in the first place if it was nothing. We already discussed this, didn’t we? You can tell me about anything that’s bothering you. I will listen to it no matter how trivial it may seem to you.”
You shake your head, not quite sure how to express your feelings. "It's just... seeing Miyo and Scara tonight brought back some old insecurities," you say, your voice tinged with vulnerability. "I just... I can't help but think about how she’s better than me.” You sigh again, leaning into him, feeling the warmth of his presence.
Diluc gently grabs your hand, lifting it to his lips, and places a soft kiss on your fingertips. "If anyone should be insecure among the two of us tonight, it should be me," he jokes. "After all, your ex is in town," he adds, trying to lighten the mood.
You roll your eyes at his teasing and defend yourself, "Scara is not my ex. And if he heard you say that, he'd probably make sure you're banned from Inazuma or something." You joked.
Diluc scoffed playfully at your comment, "If it ever came to that, I'd just make sure there would be no trading of Dawn Winery products in Inazuma. And I'm certain that would hurt Inazuma more than me getting banned from the country," he said, a hint of mischief in his eyes.
You couldn't help but smack him on his arm, trying to hide your smile. "You’d upset my father if you did that. You know how he is about your dandelion wine." you teased.
He continued, his voice tender and genuine, "Miyo may be nice, but you are incredible. My eyes are only for you, Schatzi and so is my heart." His term of endearment always made your heart flutter. You placed a soft kiss on his forehead, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
His arms wrapped around you, pulling you down to the bed as you lay on top of his chest. He gently stroked your hair, his touch comforting and reassuring. "Are you okay? Seeing him again must not have been easy on you." he asked softly.
You took a moment to collect your thoughts before answering honestly, "I feel insecure and anxious, but strangely, I don't feel hurt. I thought seeing him again would reopen old wounds, but I feel nothing of that sort." You looked up into Diluc's eyes, finding solace in his gaze.
He smiled gently, brushing a strand of hair away from your face. "You're strong, and you've grown since then," he said, his voice filled with admiration. "You don't need to compare yourself to anyone else.”
You nodded in response to his words. His touch was comforting and pressed a gentle kiss to his chest, reassuring him that you were doing okay.
"Tomorrow's dinner should be interesting," Diluc mused, a hint of amusement in his voice. You chuckled softly, knowing that he was referring to the dinner with Scaramouche and Miyo.
"Please behave," you teased.
Diluc's arms tightened around you, and he pressed a kiss to your forehead. "I can't promise my best behavior," he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “I am a jealous man, Schatzi.”
In the soft glow of the room, Diluc's confession made your heart skip a beat. You looked up at him, your eyes meeting his, and you could see the sincerity in his gaze. It was both endearing and slightly teasing, knowing that he was just a touch possessive of you. A playful smile tugged at your lips, your fingers gently tracing circles on his chest as you whispered, "I don't mind a little bit of jealousy."
Diluc's lips curved into a soft smile, and he brushed a strand of hair away from your face. "I know I have nothing to worry about. Because… well, you're stuck with me.” He teased. "No one else stands a chance." He said with unbridled confidence.
--------------------------------------
As the cab pulled up in front of the Good Hunter's, Scaramouche couldn't help but feel a mix of apprehension and curiosity. He knew he had to maintain his cover, even though a select few recognized him with his alias - a prince in disguise. His guards, dressed in plain clothes, stood outside the restaurant, a necessary precaution despite being in Mondstadt. Miyo, elegant in a modest and long designer dress, walked beside him as they entered the establishment. She looked like a princess from fairy tales he had read as a kid, he thought to himself. Placing his hand on her lower back, they walked into the restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, the ambiance exuded both coziness and luxury, with warm lighting and tasteful decorations adorning the space. The aroma of delicious food filled the air, creating an inviting atmosphere that put everyone at ease. Scaramouche's eyes met Diluc's across the room, and he felt a wave of tension wash over him. Seated across from you and Diluc, Miyo greeted the two of you with a friendly smile, and Scaramouche followed suit, putting on a façade of composure. The conversation flowed with polite pleasantries as you exchanged greetings, but Scaramouche's mind was in chaos.
He couldn't help but notice how stunning you looked in the black dress, the plunging neckline adding a touch of allure to your appearance. Memories of the incident with Signora flashed through his mind, recalling how you stopped wearing dresses after that, and now, here you were, radiant in a dress that made his heart throb. In the midst of the conversation, his eyes found yours, and you nodded in acknowledgement. That simple gesture made him he fear and wonder if you could see the turmoil in his eyes.
As Miyo looked over the menu, she asked, "What would you recommend here?"
You chuckled and replied, "Well, everything is quite delicious here. You can't go wrong with any choice. Trust me, I’d eat all of it in one sitting if I could."
The exchange was light-hearted, a rare moment of casualness between you and Miyo. Scaramouche couldn't help but notice how different this was from the times he saw you together at the shared dorm. You would often retreat to your room whenever Miyo was around, only engaging with her when absolutely necessary. But here, in the soft glow of the restaurant, you seemed more at ease.
Miyo then turned her attention to Diluc and asked, "And what wine would you recommend, Master Diluc?"
Diluc gave a nonchalant shrug, "I'm afraid I wouldn't know. I don't drink," he replied calmly. “And please, just call me Diluc. The locals here like to exaggerate my importance.”
Her gasp of surprise was met with a smirk from Scaramouche, who assumed that his beloved Miyo had caught Diluc off-guard. "Oh, come on, Diluc," Scaramouche chimed in, "haven't you had your fill of wine while being in the business of making it?"
Diluc maintained his calm demeanor and replied, "I am in the business, but that doesn't mean I have to partake in it. I know how to enjoy what life has to offer without alcohol involved." His words were composed, and it seemed like he was trying to prove a point without being overtly confrontational. But Scaramouche didn’t miss the redhead rolling his eyes, looking disinterested and unimpressed with the question.
He could sense that Diluc was subtly trying to challenge him, to have a standoff, yet the women seemed oblivious to it. Deep down, Scaramouche could feel a mix of emotions. Part of him wanted to engage in the competition, to grab your attention and to emerge victorious, but another part of him felt he needed to be civil and polite for your sake. After all, you’d been kind to him so far. “Fair point.” He shrugged at Diluc’s response.
As the evening progressed, the group ordered an array of delectable dishes and fine wine. The conversation flowed smoothly, touching on various topics such as recent happenings in Mondstadt, the beauty of Inazuma, and even a light-hearted discussion about favorite books and movies. As the food arrived, Scaramouche noticed Diluc discreetly placing a few caramelized mushrooms from his plate onto yours. You thanked him with a look of pure adoration, and Scaramouche couldn't help but swallow the lump forming in his throat. He knew how much you loved mushrooms, but he despised them, leading you to rarely cook them during your time together at the dormitory. It stung to see Diluc effortlessly doing something that brought you joy. It felt like Diluc was rubbing it on Scaramouche's face that he was better for you.
Miyo noticed the exchange and switched to Inazuman, speaking directly to you. "Diluc must be spoiling you often," she said with a playful smile. "You've never looked this good before, and I'm happy for you."
You blushed at her words and wiped your mouth with a tissue to respond to her, but before you could, Diluc interjected fluently in the same language. "(Y/n) makes enough money to spoil herself and sometimes me, despite my objections." His voice was smooth and composed, surprising both Scaramouche and Miyo. “She gets quite flustered when I try to spoil her instead.”
The unexpected display of fluency in the language caught Scaramouche off guard. Diluc was a native of Mondstadt, and he hadn't anticipated Diluc being proficient in Inazuman. He felt envious, wondering if there was anything this man couldn't do.
Looking at their shocked faces, Diluc turned to you and asked, "Did I make a mistake while speaking Inazuman?"
You dismissed his question with a warm smile and replied, "Your pronunciation of some words were a little off, but everything you said was grammatically correct. Good job, Luc!"
Miyo chimed in, "I didn't know you could speak Inazuman, Diluc."
Diluc's smile remained, and his eyes stayed fixed on you as he explained, "Well, (Y/n)’s grandparents can only speak Inazuman, so I've been learning the language to communicate with them."
Miyo placed a hand on her heart and cooed, "Aww, that's so sweet."
Scaramouche nodded, acknowledging the effort, "Impressive," he said. The man seemed to be trying to flex his abilities, and Scaramouche couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. It was already a struggle for him to be friendly with Diluc, and now this display of language proficiency felt like an unnecessary show of skill.
The dinner resumed with the group savoring the delicious dishes and engaging in lively conversation. Miyo seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the food, and Scaramouche kept reminding himself that he had her by his side and that he didn't need to let your presence rile him up. Miyo was a diplomat in the Kanjou commission, engaged to him, and soon they would be married. She understood him better than most people, and her kindness was evident in her interactions with everyone at the table. Scaramouche tried to tell himself that he felt this way because things remained unresolved between you and him. You had left without saying a word, and it had left a mark on him, an ache that he couldn't fully explain. Perhaps, that was why he felt this way. He couldn't let himself be affected by your presence, not when he was about to commit to Miyo.
As you finished your food, a knife slipped from your hand, clattering loudly on the floor. Scaramouche chuckled softly, reminiscing about how clumsy you used to be, leading to such moments happening often. He was warmed by the fact that at least this part of you hadn't changed. He remembered how your clumsiness was the butt of most jokes amongst him and his friends. You quickly dove under the table to retrieve the fallen knife, and Diluc's arm immediately reached out to cover the corner of the table before you could get back up. It was a small gesture, but it didn't escape Scaramouche's observant eyes. Diluc seemed to be looking out for you, even in the smallest ways.
As you got back up, you apologized sheepishly, and Diluc slowly pulled his arm back. "Clumsy as always huh, Schatzi*?" His tone was teasing.
‘Schatzi?’ What the hell does that mean? Was he making fun of you by calling you names?  Scaramouche frowned, curious about the term Diluc used to address you. It didn’t sound like he was mocking you but instead it sounded very affectionate.
Miyo, noticing the term, asked, "What does Schatzi mean?"
Diluc's smile turned fond as he explained, "It means 'little treasure' in our language."
Little treasure. It was evident that Diluc held a special place in his heart for you. Of course, he did. You were precious. It made sense that he called you that, right? And terms of endearment were a thing to be expected with two people who were in a relationship. So why did the name leave a bitter taste in his mouth? A voice in his head hissed at him, if she was precious, then why did you let her go?
---------------------------------
As the evening wore on, Diluc excused himself to go to the bathroom. You couldn't help but steal glances at him throughout the night. He looked so effortlessly handsome, and the soft lighting of the restaurant seemed to enhance his allure. The way he carried himself, with a certain air of confidence and intelligence, only added to his charm. You found yourself lost in thoughts about your first interaction with him, how he had been completely different than what you expected him to be.
It had been another night at the bar, and you found yourself drinking alone. Kaeya had left with some girl, leaving you by yourself to drown your sorrows in alcohol. It had been half a year since you moved to Mondstadt, and you were slowly rebuilding your life after the heartache in Inazuma. Favonius Corp had provided you with a sense of stability, and you had managed to find a circle of friends who supported you. But Scaramouche's memories still lingered, and the pain from your past kept resurfacing, leading you to seek solace in the bar.
You laid your head on the table, the alcohol making your mind hazy. The sense of agency and happiness you were slowly reclaiming seemed to temporarily slip away as you drowned in your thoughts. A sudden knock on the table jolted you awake, and you glared at the person who had disturbed your moment of peace. It was a familiar redheaded man with a scowl on his face – Kaeya's brother and the renowned Master Diluc. You had seen him around the bar before but had never spoken to him.
"The bar's closing, and you're the only patron left," Diluc stated matter-of-factly.
You looked around and realized he was right. Pushing yourself off the table, you were swaying slightly, not fully steady on your feet. You made your way to the bar as Diluc followed you. With a slurred voice, you asked him how much you needed to pay for the drinks. He shook his head and informed you that Kaeya had already taken care of it before leaving. You nodded, appreciating the gesture, and mumbled that you'd see him around, walking away from him.
But Diluc had other plans. He pulled you back by the collar of your shirt, surprising you. "I promised Kaeya that I'd make sure you'd get home safe," he said firmly.
“I am … I am fine….” You slurred feeling offended that he assumed you needed his assistance. “I can handle going home by myself. The prince of Mondstadt can retire for the night, thank you.” You stuck your tongue out at him.
You noticed him smirk, and it annoyed you. Diluc chuckled, "If I'm a prince, as you claim, then it's my princely duty to escort you home. That's what a prince should do."
You rolled your eyes, the alcohol giving you the boldness to speak to him in such a way. He usually had an intimidating aura around him, but tonight, your inhibitions were lowered. "I'm not a damsel in distress who needs the prince's assistance. I'm more like a witch at best who lives in the forest and can survive by herself. Strong, independent and intimidating!"
Diluc laughed out loud at your remark, and you couldn't help but find his laughter contagious. He looked so handsome when he was relaxed and wasn't scowling, you couldn't help but stare at him. His features were sharp and striking, exuding an air of royalty that matched his reputation as the prince of Mondstadt. His sharp red eyes appeared warmer than usual and his smile was breathtaking. It felt like you were witness something rare, something so reserved and it made you greedy. You wanted to see more of him, like this. "All the more reason for me to drop the witch off and ensure the safety of Mondstadt," he said with a playful smile.
"You're so pretty when you aren't grumpy." You blurt out your thoughts before you could stop yourself.
Diluc raised his eyebrow, mildly amused by your slip. "Did you just say that I am pretty?"
Before you could respond, a sick sensation overwhelmed you, and you felt your stomach churn. You knew what was about to happen, and you tried to hold it back, tried to warn the man in front of you but it was too late. You ended up throwing up on his shoes, and embarrassment washed over you. And just like that, another alcohol induced interaction altered your life yet again.
Scaramouche cleared his throat, pulling your attention back to him. His sharp eyes were watching you intently, and you could feel tension in the air. "Since when?" he asked, his voice measured but carrying a hint of something unspoken.
You blinked for a moment, thinking about what he meant. Then, you realized he was referring to your relationship with Diluc. "About two years in a few weeks, we started off as friends and then we just clicked you know?" you replied honestly, offering him a small smile.
"That's wonderful... good for you," Scaramouche said, his eyes avoiding direct contact with yours.
The atmosphere between you and Scaramouche felt awkward, and you tried to lighten the mood with a smile. His expression looked conflicted, and you couldn't help but wonder what emotions were swirling beneath his composed exterior. Was it repulsion towards you, or perhaps guilt? He wanted nothing to do with you and yet, here you were, a few years later, sharing a meal with your respective partners. The past with Scaramouche had been filled with anguish and pain, but it was in the past now. You had moved on, and you once thought you would never recover from the pain you endured, but looking at him now, you knew that time, therapy and space made things better.
Miyo's question interrupted your thoughts, pulling your attention away from Scaramouche. "How do you deal with all the attention? Being with someone as famous as Diluc must always bring the media's focus on you," she asked with genuine curiosity.
You shrugged, offering a smile to Miyo. "Initially, it was overwhelming. I wasn't used to the attention, but over time, it gradually faded. Mondstadt respects freedom and privacy, so that helped a lot." You paused for a moment, then continued, "And I assume Diluc's PR team also plays a significant role in protecting us from the constant spotlight."
Miyo grumbled, looking a bit envious. "I wish the Inazuman press was that kind towards us," she said, glancing at Scaramouche, who remained silent.
“We spoke about this several times, Miyo.” Scaramouche sighed in frustration. “The press plays an important role in the public perception of the Monarchy. It is important that our lives are documented my them to build our trust with the people.”
“I know.” She retorts. “But sometimes… just sometimes, it is nice to have some time off to ourselves without the attention you know? Like right now.” She smiled weakly at him.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became a bit awkward as the conversation between Scaramouche and Miyo unfolded. It felt like you were in the middle of something that you shouldn't be a part of. You tried to be discreet, sipping on your drink, but it was hard not to notice the tension in the air.
Thankfully, your awkwardness dissipated when Diluc returned, joining everyone at the table. “I am sorry, I took the liberty in paying for tonight’s dinner.” His eyes landed on Scaramouche. “You see, I have to leave early in the morning tomorrow for a business meeting in Liyue.”
Scaramouche quickly agreed. “Yes, we were thinking of leaving early as well.” He looked pointedly at Miyo. “We’ve been quite exhausted as well since we have spent most of our time touring through this city. Plus, the night is getting chilly. I’d like to be in the hotel before the temperature drops further.”
You noticed Scaramouche and Diluc shaking hands, their exchange cordial but lacking the warmth that you had often experienced with Diluc. Miyo spoke up, breaking the awkward silence, "You two must visit us in Inazuma as guests of the crown. We'd be delighted to host you both."
You smiled at Miyo's invitation, appreciating her friendly gesture. "Thank you, Miyo. We're planning to visit Inazuma sometime in the next few months," you replied. “I’ll keep you updated.”
As you got up from your chair, Miyo surprised you with a warm hug, and you reciprocated the gesture. It was nice catching up with her after all these years. To your surprise, Scaramouche uncharacteristically pulled you into a hug after Miyo let you go. His embrace felt foreign and awkward, and you could sense the tension between the two of you. "I hope to see you around in Mondstadt before we leave," Scaramouche said, his voice tinged with an unfamiliar vulnerability. You frowned and felt a sense of confusion, not sure how to respond to his unexpected show of affection. You couldn't shake off the feeling that hanging out with him and Miyo by yourself wouldn't be a wise idea.
As the group walked towards the exit, Diluc made sure to take care of both your coats. He helped you put on your coat, and you noticed how his gentle touch was in contrast to the awkward hug you had just experienced with Scaramouche. Diluc wore his own black coat, and as you all stepped outside, the chilly night air greeted you. Diluc, ever attentive, pulled out a red scarf from the pocket of his coat and wrapped it around your neck.  "It's cold tonight. You should keep warm," he said with a concerned tone.
You groaned, "I don't want to wear the scarf, Luc. I don't like how it feels on my neck. It's almost like it's choking me!" You chuckled. You liked the fact that he cared about you. It was endearing and it made your heart flutter. But poking fun at him to get him to laugh was something you always did as you were addicted to seeing him smile.
Diluc couldn't help but smirk at your remark, and you noticed his eyes briefly wandering behind you and then back at you. He teased, "That’s really funny, Schatzi. If my memory serves me right, you didn't seem to mind the 'choking sensation' last night." His playful tone made you turn as red as his hair, embarrassed that he brought up last night's intimate moment.
"Gosh, Master Diluc! how inappropriate of you," you retorted, pretending to be scandalized. Both of you burst into laughter, and the playful banter between you lightened the mood, at least for a moment. You turned around to bid farewell to Miyo and Scaramouche only to find his face as pale as a ghost with hurt and resentment in his eyes.
*Schatzi -  diminutive of Schatz, a term of endearment for a woman, literally "treasure," from Proto-Germanic *skatta- (source also of Dutch schat "treasure,". For those of you who are familiar with my blog, you know I love and stand by this name being used by Diluc for his S/O. Idk it just feels right coming from him.
