Tumblr media Tumblr media
it’s so obvious that tighnari likes you. 
he is all smiles and sass whenever he’s with you, witty quips rolling off his tongue with ease in your presence. tighnari’s lips pull into a grin when you snap back at him with something equally as witty, always making him laugh into his hand. and, despite how much he tries to still it, his tail wags wildly when you laugh. he just thinks the sound of your laughter is precious, alright?
now, to any passer by, it’s so painfully obvious that he likes you. why else would he be taking trips into sumeru city everyday if not only to see you? cyno teases him all the time when he sees you two together, always making flirty gestures and a knowing look whenever you look away. and even collei, sweet and oblivious, asks tighnari about it. often things like why his tail was wagging so hard. or even why his ears perk up like that at just the mere mention of your name. the poor forest ranger can barely handle it, clutching onto his face or ears as his friends tease him. 
was it really that obvious? he asked himself at night, hugging his pillow tightly. if cyno and collei know... then wouldn’t they know, too? tighnari clutches his pillow tighter, a pang of sadness hitting his heart. 
then why haven’t they said anything about it?
unfortunately for tighnari, you are as completely oblivious to his feelings as he is to yours. it’s not at all that you don’t like him, though! you just... can be a little dense sometimes, and mistaking your enjoyment of being with him as purely platonic. and vise versa.
and nahida sees this as she strolls the streets of sumeru. she accidentally hears tighnari’s racing thoughts of overanalyzation of his words, how he holds himself, of tighnari in general when he is around you. and when she looks over to you, nahida is sad to hear many thoughts of self doubt.
sure, she had many projects waiting back for her in the akademiya. but surely something as trivial as getting you and tighnari together wouldn’t be too much?
and sure enough, it isn’t!
sending dreams to both you and tighnari helps bring you two closer together. sure, tighnari ends up waking up incredibly flustered after each one. even if it was just about you two hugging, tighnari using you as a pillow as he sleeps, or whatever simple and fluffy thing that entered his dreams. it definitely affects how he sees you, as he is incredibly nervous and awkward around you. he can’t even look you in the eyes now!
for a moment, nahida worries that she’s interfered too much. however, she notices how you, albeit shyly and hesitantly, begin to make some moves on tighnari. complimenting the small things he does, like how lovely his eyes look in the late evening as the sun sets. or how you teased him for how much his tail wagged whenever you said something kind. and the dendro archon rejoices when you ask him out to eat, even if it’s just a “simple dinner between friends.” she knows what you’re doing, and she’s quite proud.
some time later when it’s announced that the two of you finally started dating, nahida is in great spirits. she’s much more talkative and bubbly as she has meetings with the akademiya scholars, almost tempting her to throw a festival of love in celebration of your and tighnari. that is until she remembers that love is the tsaritsa’s domain. oh well.
Tumblr media
cyno is amazing at keepings his feelings from you hidden.
you’re a scholar at the akademiya, one that is often visited by the general mahamantra on the dendro archon’s behalf. whenever you two talk, he keeps his replies curt. he nods along to whatever you’re saying, sometimes interjecting something half-heartedly to the conversation, with a dazed look in his amber eyes. it worries you that you’re boring the general mahamantra, but cyno reassures you that he’s not. he’s just tired, that’s all.
so why does he always act tired? you think.
little do you know, cyno does like spending time with you. he enjoys visiting you everyday, whether or not nahida asks him to. he loves the little amounts of knowledge you share on a topic when he asks you. and he does like you, because how could he not? like, seriously? you’re you, one of the most talented, amazing, downright precious, attractive, and intelligent person he’s ever met. why would he not like you?
however, with his title, cyno makes a lot of enemies. it’s best for him not to involve you in any sort of danger. even if it’s a matter of your safety, it pains cyno so much when he sees your hurt expression when he pretends to disregard whatever you just said. he’s internally screaming at himself, desperately wishing he could just grab you and hug you so tightly that the hurt and pain he’s caused is squeezed out of you. 
just as he thinks that, however, the sumeru archon accidentally pears into his thoughts when she passes you two by in the akademiya. she’s a little shocked that cyno felt that way about you, and even more shocked when she hears your cruel thoughts about yourself, going on and on about how cyno would never like someone like you. nahida smacks herself so hard on the head that it alerts cyno, which lets him leave swiftly to take care of the dendro archon.
but nahida doesn’t stop thinking about the two of you together, even whilst she’s in the middle of meetings or while she’s talking with cyno himself. 
how could two people like each other so much but don’t know it? she asks herself. 
finally, after enough pondering, nahida begins to plant the seed of her elaborate plan to get you two together. hopefully.
first, it starts with mentioning your name to cyno as he escorts her on a walk throughout sumeru city. she’s internally delighted to see a subtle smile form on his lips at the mere mention of your name, even if it disappears soon after he gives a vague description of you. but after enough prodding, nahida gets a genuine compliment about you from him. she smiles at the general mahamantra, and cyno is left wondering what is so amusing to her.
then, she sends sweet dreams to cyno of you. sweet days spent together, making breakfast for you while you’re still in bed, waking you up with a sweet kiss and an even sweeter greeting. making you laugh, or sometimes groan, at all the ridiculous jokes cyno has to offer. enough sweet moments with you that makes him wake up, craving for more of that sweetness, craving for your presence in his life once more.
eventually, cyno begins to lower his guard and warm up to you. it’s definitely something to grow used to, as you first thought it was all some cruel prank at your expanse. but once you realize that cyno’s nods and interjections in your conversations were now genuine and sweet, you began to warm up to him, too.
nahida was delighted when she saw you and cyno together, casually holding each other’s hands as you strolled through the marketplace. she’ll make sure to offer her congratulations to cyno later, right after she congratulates herself for such a success. 
Tumblr media
haitham acts so casual and friendly that you would never think he’d like you back in that way. 
he leans over the desk that separates you two, listening intently to whatever you’re talking about. although, his gaze does glaze over a few times and his eyes drop down more than once. you falter, slightly, but haitham is very quick to reassure you to continue, perking up and looking at you with genuine interest as a very subtle blush takes over his face. 
please tell me they didn’t see me checking them out, haitham prayed, silently.
haitham thinks his crush on you is so obvious that he does everything in his power to not let anyone know, yourself included. and it’s not at all that haitham is ashamed of liking you. if anything, haitham wants nothing more than to show all of teyvat that he cares for you! he’s truly, madly, and deeply in love with you. however, he’s a little embarrassed at how quickly he fell for you. what if he comes on too strong and scares you away? what if you don’t feel the same way? what if you hate him and he didn’t realize it?
so, haitham wants to give himself some time before he asks you out, however long that may be.
and yet, haitham’s so well thought out facade is easily found out by nahida. all she needed to do was look at how earnest haitham looked at you as you two browsed the shelves of the akademiya’s library. but, just to make sure, nahida let your and haitham’s thoughts grace her. and she was delighted to discover that you both truly did care about each other, even letting out a small giggle. however, at the pace you two were going, haitham probably wouldn’t have asked you out until the hairs on his head were... greyer.
so, nahida sends some dreams haitham’s way. 
he gets these tortuously sweet dreams about you. watching you over the top of his book as you read in the same room as him, more than content with just coexisting with him in the same space. sharing space with you in general, whether that be in the kitchen making food or laying down together on the couch. his personal space is now your personal space too, and haitham is more than content with that fact.
but when he wakes up, haitham is quite sad to find out it had all been a dream. a part of him craves for those moments so badly that he begins to plan out a confession.
nahida tries not to act too happy when she hears news of the scribe and you getting together. internally, she’s overjoyed and can’t wait to see your romance blossom further. however, externally, she gives haitham a smile whenever she sees you walking him to work, holding onto his hand as you wish him well at the akademiya.
maybe the dendro archon should try match making more often.

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.

summary! :: you suddenly woke up to being sick and 24 missed calls from your boyfriend
pairings! :: cyno x gn!reader
contains! :: modern!au, mentions of sickness, fluff, bad humor, slightly? ooc cyno
note! :: I legitimately woke up sick today, I didn’t even do anything to get sick..my body aches and i have a stuffy nose😭
Tumblr media
finally waking up after you’ve been turning off your alarm several times—you don’t even remember setting that said alarm— you felt a bit..off?? like dizzy and your head was throbbing, so you simply went back to sleep but not before turning off that stupid alarm one more time.
you don’t know how long it’s been since you went back to sleep, but this time you woke up to the smell of soup coming from your kitchen…you couldn’t tell what kind of soup it was but it smelled amazing and— wait, WHY COULD YOU SMELL SOUP COMING FROM YOUR KITCHEN?? you quickly got up from bed, stumbling here and there, wanting to find out whether the smell of that soup was indeed coming from your kitchen.
carefully opening your door, you tiptoed your way into the kitchen and peaked through the doorway. there was definitely a person cooking soup in your kitchen, he was very familiar though he looks like your boyfriend?? oh. OH, YOUR BOYFRIEND WAS THE ONE COOKING. you innerly face-palmed, before calling out his name. “cyno?? how’d you get in???”
“hm? oh you’re awake. get back to bed, i was heading there anyway” he said as he poured the soup into a bowl. “no but how did you get in?” you asked again. “you gave me a spare key, remember?” you indeed remember giving him your spare key a while ago. “okay but why?”
he sighed as he put the bowl of soup on a small tray. “because you weren’t answering my calls, you turned off each and every one.” confusion filled you, “what?? i never…wait, those were calls? not alarms?” you also indeed never set any alarms which worried cyno after calling you for twenty four times. so out of concern, he immediately went to your place and found you with a burning fever.
now currently back in your room, after struggling to even walk back, you were refusing to be fed by your dearest boyfriend. “i can feed myself” you said for the umpteenth time. “you’re sick and you’re basically a baby when you are. you know, because you act so stubborn and can barely do anything yourself and—“ he started explaining. “okay OKAY. i get it..” you finally gave in, as he carefully brought the spoon up to your mouth.
“hey cyno?” you called out after finishing your bowl. “yes, love?” he responded immediately. “i love you” you smiled as you pulled him to lay next to you. he sighed as he complied with slightly flushed cheeks. “ ‘love you too”

hii! can i request a cyno x dancer! reader? like reader's nilou's friend but she's more introverted? and she likes to wear jewelries!
Beauty and the beat
Characters: Cyno x FEM! Reader Genre: Fluff, reincarnation AU A/N: Highly based off of what went on in Nilou's story event, so slight spoilers for that. Barely, but still. Thank you for resting this! I had fun writing it and it gave me an idea for a royal au :) Requests are open
Tumblr media
Cyno was only in Sumeru city because the Traveler had asked him to accompany them. The sight was as beautiful as he remembered, still admiring the sights as they continued down to where the theater stands. He held no ill feeling towards the arts, but he wasn't all that interested in it either.
You stood up top the stage, everyone was preparing for the show in a few days time and you more so then ever. This was the first time you were given the main spotlight and your nerves were almost burnt up.
"Go through it one last time, okay?" suggest Nilou, giving you the best support a friend can give. "You've worked hard for this, show them what you can do!"
There's no time to take notice of Cyno and the Traveler. The music sounds out, your mind instantly blocking out any and all foreign sound as it wove itself into your limbs. It was like someone was controlling your movements, gliding you across the stage with a gracefulness that any goddess would be envy of.
A proud smile shows from Nilou, who stood off to the side watching. This, right here, was your element. The most comfortable she has ever seen you since you were kids - dancing was your love. And you did it beautifully.
Paimon nudged the top of Traveler's head, for once keeping quiet as she motioned for them to glance at Cyno. Having to tear their eyes from your dancing, Traveler is met was a surprising sight.
Cyno was enthralled.
Silver jewelry sparked when the lights hit them perfectly, making it look like you were sparkling, a shining star like the ones he's seen traveling the desert. The tiny bells that hung on the chain skirt attached to you matched along with the song. It was like you were placing a spell on him.
Heat rushed to his cheeks at the sight of your bare legs through the slit of your skirt. He was thankful that you were a pair of white, slightly baggy shorts underneath the lilac fabric.
The song came to an end, along with your movement. In that instant, his eyes met your own. Time is at a stand still and it feels like your souls were reaching out for one another, desperate to be near, to hold.
Such strong emotions caused you to lose your balance, stumbling backwards as you caught your breath. You didn't understand what had happened, just that you needed to met the man who has yet to remove his eyes from you.
Nilou rushed up, throwing her arms around you in a tight hug as she expressed just how amazing your dance was and that she was so very proud of you. Normally you would be a flustered mess at the shower of compliments, but your were still stuck in the little world that was you and that stranger.
Looking like he was in a daze, Cyno walked up to the stage. You're set into action by a nudge from your friend. As you walk closer to the edge, he held out a hand that you automatically reached out for.
The warmth from his skin felt comforting compared to the coolness of your own. Eyes never broke contact while his lips press to the back of your hand, the small touch sending a flame straight up your arm.
Whispers floated around you as vendors were allowed back in now that practice were done for the day. Their words of genuine shock spreading at the sight of General Mahamatra Cyno being so entranced with a dancer.
There was a change in you ever since that fateful day, Nilou noticing it the second she realized Cyno had yet to take his eyes off of you. You truly gained his heart in just a single dance, showing the beauty that dancing can do.
It was the night of the show, everyone running about and making sure everything was perfectly set. No mistakes were to be made, and despite the obvious pressure placed upon you, you were excited.
Cyno was to be there, after all.
No one was prepared for the sudden attack, the only ones with a vision at the moment just you and Nilou. Neither of you were much of a match, and your rammed into, landing harshly on the ground. Your catalyst hitting the ground before disappearing in a fluttery of ice.
You glance up to see another attack headed your way and the sound of Nilou calling out your name reached your eyes but you couldn't move. And you didn't need too.
In a blink of an eye, Cyno's back stood to you, electricity flickering around him as he used his Vision to deflect the attack. The traveler has also arrived with him, and together to two defended the area.
Of course, they were hired to ruin the widely talked about show tonight.
"Are you alright?" questioned Cyno, kneeling down beside you. His hands hovered above you while he checked himself even as you confirmed that you were.
Knowing that you were infact, okay, Cyno pulled you into his chest. There is a spark that's felt between the two of you, pleasant and welcoming. Feeling like you were returning home after being away for many years.
The sight brought smiles to everyone who seen. The love and adoration clear on one another's faces, never taking notice of the audience you always seem to have.
The traveler teasingly covers Paimon's eyes when you and Cyno share a passionate kiss, Nilou and them sharing a laugh at Paimon's protesting.
The theater staff couldn't help but think, maybe now the akademiya would leave them alone.

Untimely Obligations - Cyno x f!reader
Summary: Cyno tells you a joke to cheer you up, momentarily forgetting you use any opportunity to flirt with him. That tends to make things a little more difficult for him. He needs to wrap up this investigation soon.
Genre: Fluff, humor, flirting, banter, pre-relationship, a smidge of hurt/comfort
Words: 1.3k
I just wanted to see Cyno with a slightly flirty reader but still somehow show that they suited each other lol. This was the result.
Tumblr media
"There is a substance in the world that a person can hold, but the longer he holds it, the more it disappears," Cyno tells you. "What is it?"
You sit across the table from Cyno, staring back at him while your expression remains unchanged. You don't give him an answer.
He sighs before he continues. "It's ice," he says. When you don't utter a word, he gives further explanation. "The ice melts in your hand, changing back to its liquid form."
Your eyes don't move, but he raises his brow when he notices you slightly biting your lip. Perhaps you're still confused.
"It's still water, but it cannot be called ice anymore, which is why you can claim it has disappeared."
He continues to elaborate on the joke, but when he starts getting into the nuances of properties of water, you burst out into laughter.
"I'm sorry," you tell him. "I couldn't hold it in anymore."
Oh? Was this joke successful? Cyno continues to cross his arms as you attempt to calm down from your laughter.
"I didn't want to laugh. I wanted you to keep going."
"And why is that?"
"You're just really cute when you do that," you say with a grin. "Besides, I like hearing your voice."
He lets out a scoff and picks up his spoon. His rice is getting cold.
"Anyway, was that supposed to be a joke or a riddle? Because there's a difference you know."
"I thought it was hilarious," he says. "Imagine a child holding an ice cube and then panicking it has disappeared five minutes later."
"You should have explained it that way then," you laugh.
He crosses his arms and clicks his tongue. Fine. One of his jokes will land someday. Besides, he only told the joke because you seemed sad, so he was at least successful in lightening the mood. Why did someone have to come and ask about your sister? He should've known better.
You slip him a piece of paper and he peeks under it to read your note. It's a lead to the investigation he's currently working on. He looks up at you and you have a large and expectant grin on your face.
"Well? Aren't you going to say anything?" you ask him.
He doesn't reply.
"You know. Something like, 'You're so awesome, sweetheart. What ever would I do without you?'"
You never miss an opportunity to flirt with him. He puts the piece of paper away before crossing his arms again. "Excellent work," he tells you. This will help the investigation move more quickly.
"Aww... You're no fun," you pout. "This is an alternative way you can humour me."
He quickly asks another favour of you, and you're a little miffed he didn't play along.
"Yes, I can do that," you tell him. "Her daughter frequents the tavern and I can casually ask how her family is doing. I'm bound to find a few clues from that."
You continue to eat your wrap as Cyno takes more from his plate. This case needs to be wrapped up quickly. He shouldn't have involved you in this first place.
"But why didn't you ask Lambad for help instead? He knows his customers better than I do," you say. "I've only been here for a year."
He pauses from eating and places his spoon down. Looking into your eyes, he simply says, "I trust you."
It was years ago, but he still remembers both the painful yet determined look in your eyes. He was in charge of the investigation involving your sister, and yet you told him exactly where she was hiding. It turned into a painful memory for him, seeing you so heartbroken by your sister's crimes. He couldn't help but secretly keep an eye on you over the years.
"You wouldn't betray your own convictions," he tells you. "You're not so easily swayed by your emotions nor by others."
You widen your eyes, surprised that he made that observation about you.
"Oh?" you ask. "Have I captured your interest then?"
He sighs. He should really get to the bottom of his current case. "How have things been at the tavern?" he asks, changing the topic.
"Nothing too eventful. Just the same old thing. Gossiping people, students, merchants, the occasional traveler from another nation, more gossiping people…," you explain.
There's a twinkle in your eye before you continue. "Besides, if anyone starts to cause any trouble, I just casually mention that you've been coming here fairly frequently."
He has been coming to Lambad's tavern fairly often to take a break even though he'd typically prefer solitude.
"It's nice having a certain strong and handsome guy around," you tell him with a teasing grin.
Your comment catches him off-guard, causing his cheeks to heat up as well. He's been putting up a wall between you, but every so often, you pull a fast one on him.
Footsteps approach from the stairs. Cyno grabs his polearm.
"Cyno, wait." You take his hand.
He releases his breath when the person is in sight.
"It's only Lambad," you explain.
"I just brought up some more food as requested," he says. Cyno glances at you because he didn't order anymore.
"It's for you," you mouth the words to him.
"Anyway," Lambad turns to you, "your break is almost over. You only have five minutes left to flirt with Cyno here."
Cyno widens his eyes. Just how many people knew about your feelings for him? Although, he really shouldn't be surprised by the way you act around him.
"Should I tone it down?" you ask in almost a whisper. Cyno sits back in his seat after Lambad left you two alone again on the second floor.
Cyno raises his brow, not understanding your question.
"With the flirting," you explain. "Does it bother you that much to have other people know I like you?"
You must have read his expression. He can't deny it's been a source of stress for him.
You hold your wrap in front of you. "Well... Then again, I'd probably tarnish your reputation as the great Mahamatra," you say with lowered eyes before taking another bite of your food.
He watches your face and does not detect any lie from you. You truly believed your own words. "There's no need for you to dissociate with me," he says. "With your character, you wouldn't damage my reputation at all."
You choke on your food and he hands you some water. You're almost a bit bashful at his compliment. But when you see he has gone quiet, a smirk tugs on your lips.
"Does this mean I can keep flirting with you?"
He scoffs. Of course you took this as permission to lavish your feelings on him.
"You know... You've never told me to stop," you tell him with a grin sneaking onto your lips.
He thinks back to past interactions with you and sighs. He knows the reason why he has never asked you to stop flirting with him.
"Are you actually secretly interested in me?" you say with a wink.
Cyno rubs his temple. "I do think you need to stop flirting with me."
"What? Well... I…," you lower your eyes. "I think… I'll need some time to adjust, so…"
"Just stop until I wrap up this investigation." He grabs his polearm and leaves the table. "I've involved you too much with this case," he says. "I need to make sure you're safe first."
He already promised himself to look for you once the right people were behind bars. It's only right for you to get a clear answer from him soon.
"Oh… I see…," you say in a lowered voice. "Alright, I'll stop until…"
Cyno steps down the stairs and heads towards the door.
"Wait! What?!?!?!"
He places a hand on his forehead. Maybe he shouldn't have mentioned that yet, but it's true. He wants you to stay by his side and keep flirting with him in the future.
He just needs to ensure your safety is secured first.
Tumblr media
I hope you liked it. :) I have some other fics too so please check out the rest of my blog.
Edit: I have a part two.

Fallen for you - A Cyno drabble
no warnings, gn reader (title “Fallen for you” included in word count)
(๑>◡<๑)
You and Cyno. Cyno and You. sounds right, right? he thought so. What he couldn't think of was how to confess.
He finally had some time off and invited to for a walk through the sumerian forest. You accepted and started on your stroll.
Even Cyno was surprised at the large piles of burnt yellow and orange leaves you encountered.
Enraptured, you kept walking until Cyno stopped you. He looked... nervous? That was a first.
"(name)... i've fallen for you."
.
.
.
"Do you get it? The leaves fell because is it autumn and I did too. For you."
Tumblr media
Thank you so much for reading! Comments and reblogs are appreciated. I hope you enjoyed, please let me know if you did or if you have any ideas or suggestions for more (╹◡╹)♡

Tumblr media
the dim lights above you were the only thing keeping your papers visible in front of you. it was late at night and you needed to turn in an essay the next day that you were barely prepared for.
you were tired and drained from school. the work was piling up and it was exhausting you. you kept pushing through but eventually you felt like you were going to crack.
“what are you doing up so late?” a stern voice pulled you out of your deep thoughts. “cyno!” you exclaimed, nervously. sure, you might’ve been your average akademiya student but you managed to become good friends with the general mahamatra.
“i have an essay due tomorrow and i barely started it,” you explained, turning your attention to him.
“hm,” the white haired man hummed. “may i keep you company?” he asked, glancing at the seat beside you. “perhaps i can help.”
“i’d love that. thank you, cyno,” you replied, sighing in relief. he smiled to himself, taking his seat.
cyno was a great help, he pointed out key details and descriptions in your books and helped you implement them into your essay.
even after you finished your essay, you wanted to stay and chat with him. he was so busy that you barely got to have a conversation with him.
“thank you, cyno. i don’t think i could’ve gotten this essay completed so quickly without you,” you said, gratefully. “it’s my pleasure, you know i’m always here for you, y/n.”
“oh, well thank you for that. i don’t know what i’d do without you,” you responded, avoiding eye contact due to being slightly flustered by his words. “me either. i value having you in my life. you’re a great person and tighnari thinks we’d be great together,” he admitted, without thinking.
“what?” cyno’s eyes widened, finally realizing what he said. “my apologizes. i didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.” he shook his head. “do you…like the idea of us being together?” you asked, deciding you could blame sleep deprivation if he declined.
“i..i do,” he responded, inching closer to you. slowly, you tilted your head, kissing his lips. he cupped your face and melted into the kiss.
once you pulled away, he leaned his forehead against yours.
“you must be a dictionary, because you add so much meaning to my life,” cyno said. “enough with the jokes!” you pulled away, laughing over how corny it was.
he meant it though. you meant so much to him.

Tumblr media
When Cyno woke, the only lights bleeding into the room were pinpricks of stars, scattered like glitter on the horizon. 
It usually wasn’t hard to blink himself awake anymore, to shake the drowsiness from his shoulders and push himself into the cool night air. Working with hours that changed on a whim made it easy to swing his legs out of bed and fly out the door with a minimal routine, and yet…
Tonight the mucus stuck to his eyelids and the familiar heat against his chest begged him in a way desperate scholars could never achieve, and suddenly, peeling his arms away from something so warm felt near impossible.  
Alas, justice couldn’t wait, and with a heavy heart, he untangled his limbs from yours, shifting his legs to dangle off the bed before turning to your form. The sheets bunched around your waist, and the contrast of your hair against the violet sheets dazzled in the strip of moonlight that burned across your features. 
It was on instinct to reach across his empty spot on the bed to brush his fingers across your face, his shadow sullying the beautiful light. His knuckle, rough and worn, worked from the curve of your cheek to the first wisps of your hairline, his fingertips disappearing before his eyes. Your nose crinkled at the contact, and he tensed for just a moment, uneager to bear your pleads for him to stay just once. Once you’d relaxed, your breath resuming it’s gentle rhythm, he’d dared to go further, fully combing his fingers through your hair, working through the tangles. The sensation made his shoulders sag with satisfaction, and he continued until you shifted, mumbling blearily and turning your face into the pillow. 
The moon illuminated your bare back, and his lips pressed into a thin line of regret, craving to crawl back into bed with you and give you something stable. You’d scold him for the notion if you were awake, fully reminding him that it was no mystery how his job worked, and that you’d never have entered the relationship if you weren’t okay with it. Guilt ate at his conscience anyway, but it was more than work, and you knew that. 
Sighing, he brushed his palm against your shoulder, smoothing out the goosebumps and pressing a reverent kiss to your temple. Your hair tickled his nose, and it curled the corner of his lip into a melancholy smile when he withdrew, tugging the blankets back over your figure.

The Daily Grind
Modern AU Otaku Cyno x GN Reader (No Pronouns)
Fluff - SFW - Drabble
Note: Hi! I know it's been a while, I hope you've been well! Although I'm not able to dedicate much time to writing, I had a lot of fun with this one, sweet and simple, so hopefully you'll enjoy it too :))
Tumblr media
“Honey? Are you still in here?”
“Y/n, come look at this,”
Cyno had been holed up in his office for a few hours now, and you naturally began to worry about his well-being. After not seeing him for so long, despite it being his day off, searching for him seemed the best course of action.
Upon entry to the surprisingly dim room, you saw your husband sitting in front of his desk, religiously refreshing a page on his main monitor. His desk was decorated entirely with figurines and memorabilia from his various favourite games, anime and movies, proudly displayed with their positions maximised to have each turned for its best angle.
“Would you like the light on, love?”
“Oh,” Cyno turned to the window, seeing the dusk for the first time. “Yes, I didn’t realise how late it had gotten. Thank you, light of my life,”
“I don’t know whether to be happy with the cute nickname or annoyed at the pun,”
“The first one sounds good to me,”
You flicked the light switch and approached Cyno’s desk, Cyno graciously pushing the gaming chair he sat in out far enough for you to take a spot on his lap.
“What’s kept you in here all day?”
"They're about to release the newest Genius Invokation TCG card packs and there's said to be five-hundred signed copies of the newest character card mixed into the preorders. I must obtain the treasured signed copy, or I cannot call myself the legendary Cyno; Genius of Genius Invokation TCG."
You smiled lovingly at your husband's characteristic flair. It was always so charming how invested he became in his passions.
"Well, good luck to you," you sealed the wish with a kiss on Cyno's cheek.
"Thank you, with this blessing my power will only grow. The magic of your love has imbued me with the strength I require to prevail against all odds," Cyno took a brief moment away from refreshing the page. "Although, I may need another. Just in case,"
"Really?" You smiled playfully, brushing the game devotee's hair from his face to properly take in the red of his eyes. "Just in case, then."
The two of you met in a kiss, followed by another, and one more for good measure. When you parted, Cyno's hand came around to your back, keeping you close.
"Do you want something to eat?" You asked softly, twisting a lock of his silvery hair between your fingers.
"As long as it's something I don't have to look at to eat, I need to concentrate."
"Alright, as long as you don't spend all our money on buying a hundred different packs,"
Cyno's silence overtook the room, causing your eyebrow to raise.
"Honey?"
"I will do my best to honour both my commitment to you and to my quest."

note: beginning of neighbors au??? (angsty)
warning: mentions of alcohol
as per the rules of the matra, it is only natural that cyno exercises his listening and acute listening skills to eavesdrop on suspicious individuals.
but overtime, after getting to know him, he had realized that his hearing was better used for other things. for example, when he had just finished another droning day at the police station… he would have been walking home before overhearing you, who was new to the neighborhood, gossip with your closest friends about how handsome your neighbor was. he only chuckled as he took his keys and fiddled them within the lock, thinking about the enthusiastic voice chatting about him. he couldn’t mistake it for anyone else—yes, he won’t ever forget the way you described his physicality as though it were straight out of a greek epic… but he’s the only single, young man that borders your humble residence.
perhaps that was just a fluke, but the second time was when he had hopped out of his car late at night, noticing how your door was wide open, along with all the lights. upon arrival, he was devastated at the sight. broken glass, an open window with a bunch of empty bottles of alcohol near the window… in addition to a myriad of half-finished shots. he stood in the doorway, peering inside, taking off his sandals at the entryway before catching the quiet sound of hitched breaths and other hiccuped sobs coming from you cooped up inside your room. it also seems like you left your bedroom door open from up the stairs.
but cyno found it hard to leave you alone. how could he simply leave someone in a state like this? yes, as the head of the police, he knows more than anyone that he shouldn’t have entered the house without your consent. yet, the cries of begging for the affection of a man made him all too curious. he could only keep thinking about your wishes as he cleaned up your entire downstairs, in addition to leaving some painkillers and a couple of water bottles with a post-it note:
“Remember to take care of yourself. From, Cyno—the next-door neighbor to your right.”
he left his number at the bottom if something like this happens again. there’s something that kills him more on the inside when he hears the way you call and beg for your presence when you think he’s not around.
“Please love me.” That is what you cried.
he wonders… is that even possible for someone in his position—reputed to be the most critical and harsh of the entire department, regardless of the person?

genshin men sleeping habits
premise: in the early glows of the morning, you wake up in the vice grip of your lover. while it’s very heartwarming, you need to go to work. how does he convince you to stay in bed with him a little longer? 
tw: suggestive for the last one
pretends to be asleep but doesn’t let up with his fucking grip regardless
you’ve. tried. everything. you tried nudging him awake, even gave him a couple kisses, but he doesn’t let up. instead, he groans and flips over, taking you along with him. you yelp, unable to brace for impact as you’re suddenly on your side.  
he shuffles a bit, wrapping his legs around you a little tighter (if that was even possible). he presses his nose into the crook of your neck. he sighs, content.
after minutes of effort, you decide to relinquish any hopes of waking him up. 
“i give up,” you say. “you win. a little longer won’t hurt, right?”
you get no response. but you don’t really need one anyway. 
he’s not a very good pretender, with the way his lips can’t help but break out into a little triumphant smile. 
alhaitham, kaeya, kaveh, childe, tighnari, thoma, zhongli, diluc, ayato, venti, baizhu, kazuha, scaramouche, xiao
he ambushes you when you least expect it
after many attempts to squeeze out of his hold, you’re successful. out of breath, maybe, but at least you gained the ability to finally roll out of bed and start the day. 
sitting up, you give one last glance to your lover. the way his chest rises and falls so rhythmically. the peaceful look on his face. the way he squints when the sunlight hits his eyes. how his hands unconsciously look for you again. you almost feel bad. 
that is, until you take one—maybe two, if he’s feeling generous—steps away from the bed. without any kind of sign, signal, or warning, he launches out of bed. he lunges at you like a ravenous wolf, wrapping his arms around your waist and hauling you back to bed with great force. he huffs when you land on his chest, but he’s quick to recover. 
he wraps his arms around your shoulders, locking you in with his legs. “you’re not leaving me.” 
you can’t help the grin spreading across your lips as you squirm. “let me go. i’m going to be late—”
he retaliates by peppering your neck with chaste kisses. “nuh uh. yo can’t leave me. my heart won’t allow it.” 
you can’t even turn to face him. “honey, if you don’t let me go, next time i’m going to burn your breakfast.”
“uh huh.”
“i’ll steal all your favorite clothes and hide them,” you threaten.
“please do. i’m sure you’ll love my birthday suit,” he quips back.
“and i’m going to use all the hot water.”
“we can always shower together.” 
“i’ll—”
“do you’re worst. i can take it,” he teases. “i’m still not letting you go. i chose you, i’m going to keep you ‘til the end of time. forever!”
with that, he presses sloppery kisses all over your face despite your protests that he needs to brush his teeth. even so, you can’t help but feel as if staying for five minutes more might not be so bad.
kaeya, kaveh, childe, thoma, venti, itto, heizou, ayato
“assures” you that getting ready doesn’t take as long as you know it does
“what if i did your hair and makeup for you?” he muses, pressing a chaste kiss to your cheek.
you scoff playfully. “do you even know my makeup routine?”
“it can’t be as complicated as mine. oh! you could eat breakfast while i button up your clothes for you.”
his offer gets a laugh out of you. “we both know you’re not going to finish buttoning it up.”
“hm? whatever do you mean?” his hands drag down your waist to your hips, tracing slow circles. “you don’t trust me to put your clothes on for you?”
“i don’t think they’ll stay on, that’s the problem,” you say, pressing a sweet kiss to his lips. “you know how you get in the morning.”
“do i? how about you remind me? my little friend could use some help waking up—” 
you give him a look of warning, to which he groans. “fine, fine.”
with that, he’s left you in silence, absentmindedly petting your head. he closes his eyes.
...
...
...
“if you aren’t going to say anything, i’m going drop kick you.” 
he huffs. “don’t rush your genius boyfriend. what if i brushed your teeth  while you brushed your hair? as they say, teamwork makes the dream work.”
you furrow your brows. “wouldn’t you get toothpaste on my shirt?”
“how about the other way around?” 
you smile. “hmm... i like the sound of that.” 
he smiles back, pressing a kiss to your nose. “well okay then. five more minutes it is then.” 
you snuggle into his embrace, knowing very that he just spent the last five minutes trying to convince you to stay for five minutes more. 
gorou, childe, heizou, cyno, ayato, baizhu, diluc, zhongli, itto, kazuha, tighnari, venti, albedo
he suggests the two of you go for round two
he puts on a mischievous little grin, one you know is up to no good. “what if we ‘slept’ a little more and you called in sick?” 
his hand crawls down to your inner thigh, tracing teasing circles. “you’d be too sore to go to work anyways...you need to take care of yourself. what would your boss say if she saw you walking with a limp. hm? what do you say?”
you scoff at that. “i don’t think the solution you’re thinking of is going to help that.” 
he purses his lips, as if in deep contemplation. with his free hand, he grips your hips a little tighter to pull you back towards him. you stiffen in surprise at something hard pressing against the curve of your ass. his morning wood twitches. “are you sure? maybe you’re sore because you haven’t done the proper stretches yet. luckily for you, your precious boyfriend knows a couple ways to get your hamstrings all loosened up. i could draw us a bath after... turn on some music... maybe go again? doesn’t that sound good?”
you chuckle. “you’re impossible.”
he presses a soft, open-mouth kiss to the crook of your neck. “only with you, love.”

THINKING ABOUT HOW...
Whenever you lay on TIGHNARI'S lap, his tail always seems to end up resting over your neck. It smells good from all the oils he lathers on it, and it keeps you warm. He likes when you card your fingers through his fur, it's calming, and whenever you stop he immediately knows the battle to keep your eyes open was lost to slumber. More often then not, you'll wake up to his tail tickling your chin or just straight up smacking you in the face. Sometimes it's intentional, but it's more like a pillow being thrown in your face.
KAZUHA would always be prepared if you ever experienced sea sickness in his travels, teyvat's equivalent of ginger ale and crackers quite literally on deck. He'll hold your hair back if you ever throw up and brew you herbal teas to drive the nausea away. He'll also rub comforting circles on your stomach if you give him permission, kissing away the pain and reassuring that you'll reach land soon.
If you're insistent enough, CYNO would let you play in his hair. His job is quite stressful, so feeling your fingers glide through his hair would literally put him to sleep most times. He might leave a braid or two you made in his hair and play with it whenever he thinks about you. He'll also show it off to Tighnari.
XIAO can't help but hide his face whenever you trace the markings on his arm or stomach (it's canon idc). He questions why you find the act so amusing and when you pull away he instinctively pulls your hand back, then becomes all bashful when he realized what he did. Is quick to urge you to continue and say "W-Why you'd stop? I never said I was against it..." Or something along those lines.
The Aranaras are always dancing around WANDERER no matter the occasion. They're always on his heel and you often spot him running away from a group of them, "Quit following me!" Leaving his lips. It's hilarious. He'll invite you for some tea and one of them would be perched on his head with that dopey smile :] He's exhausted, but he's secretly fond of them, especially the one you said looked similar to him (the blue one with the pretty hat), though he'll never admit it.

— biting them affectionately
including alhaitham, kaveh, scaramouche, heizou, tighnari, albedo, kazuha, cyno x gn! reader
꒰ genre ꒱ — fluff, crack, this is so random
Tumblr media
alhaitham, who will be at loss of words at first— while, keep in mind, it wasn't easy to get the scribe speechless like that, regardless of how he was never bitten in his life. however, he told himself to never question whenever you'd do anything like that, so for one, he'd simply look at you confused and irritated, before asking you with a stern and stoic blush on his cheeks, "why?" it's not like he doesn't know, but for some reason did he find it quite amusing whenever you'd explain yourself over such little, hilarious things. but, when you decide to bite him again, without answering, he'd just ignore you and keep reading his book.
one might think kaveh will act slightly different than alhaitham, but he's equally confused yet the moment you bite him he'd let out a yell, animalistic, one overly dramatic scream of fake pain, channeling his vocal chords to their fullest extent. "what was that for?!" he whines, rubbing the pulsing red spot on his shoulder, "i just love you." you smile and now, again, he finds himself seeing you as the most adorable thing to ever exist. discernibly did you sense your precious chance of biting him many more times, only faintly, but strong enough to have your boyfriend whine and airily laugh before engaging in a playful fight with you.
if you think scaramouche won't bite you back, you're one naive and wide-eyed individual. this man also doesn't hold back, he'll give it his all to win what you have started. don't be upset when he starts biting you heavier than you do, he sees it as a serious showdown now. "don't go running off now." you're not admitting defeat yet, he fears, but you will, he's sure of it. by now, he has you caged in between his arms while a breezing pain in your belly began to expel, from all the sweet and heavy laughing and cheering. whether or not you will win was long since in the back of your head, what counted was seeing kuni engage in something silly for once, and having a great time at that.
heizou's quick and precise thinking skills were deeply needed in the predicament you both found yourself in. one minute you were lazily cuddling and kissing under the silken sheets before you decided to bite him out of nowhere, not hard, but impressionable. specifically against his neck where he was the most sensitive, "augh." he growls before looking at you, somewhat intrigued, "that came out of nowhere." he huffs, and in some strange way was he already beginning to plan his bloody revenge on you, pulling you on your back before dragging your hands over your head, so you're out of commission, so it's him who can decide where to give you a taste of your own medicine.
at the outset, tighnari thought a random bug bit him out of nowhere, he couldn't even fathom that it was you biting him out of the blue. "wait." he stops the work on his desk, tilting his head to the side where you were comfortably seated in, eagerly, awaiting a response, "was that you?" you can feel the sass in his full sentence as it spread through the seconds of silence before your answer goes right through, "nope." someone must give you an award for keeping your laugh in like that, especially when it was burning and bristling inwardly, "a bug." you shrug, "no, it's you." assuming you're playing mind tricks, he catches the smirk on your lips, "dangerous territory." he coos, the bite mark on his shoulder matches your teeth and thanks to closer inspection he confirms his suspicions. well, good luck to you.
it's not out of the ordinary for albedo to question something insignificant and random a little too deep. "how interesting." he rests his chin against his palm, "is this considered normal amongst humans?" a glittering, infectious smile pulls itself around your lips when he quizzes you on it, over and over, and you settle to do it again without responding, shortly gnawing down on his shoulder, "for me it is." while ruffling his hair until it was practically falling out of the small ponytail, "i see." albedo drags you closer, "should i return it?" by the look of things, this might become a daily occurrence now.
"oh?" kazuha brushes over his arm, holding eye contact, "you're strong." and feigns the heavy proudness in his voice. in actuality, he barely felt your teeth dig into his flesh, but he found the noises you made beyond cute, kind of high pitched within its hilarity. all and all, was this just one of the many things he fell in love with when it came to you and his face lights up in delight and interest when he notices the transparent joy on your lips. there's an almost imperceptible happiness across his entire skin, sparking at the outline of his jaw and littering in his eyes, "now." he slants forward, getting his point across, "my turn!"
quite frankly, did your boyfriend cyno get the impression that you were actually mad at him at first, alas why you decided to bite his cheek right after hugging him, that's the hypothesis of the day. turns out you weren't, shocker, but he rubs the squishy flesh before questioning it— with you, naturally responding right away, "it's because i love you." you assure him, "so you can see it as an act of love." and jokingly bite him again, this time slightly lighter and only a bit, emphasizing your point. after carefully thinking about it more upfront, cyno finds himself enjoying it and doesn't mind when you bite him as much as you see fit, as long as you're happy that is.

❝ realistic courting ❞
cyno + tighnari (separately)
summary: how they court you/act around you based off of the research i did on their animal counterparts
cw: none, mostly fluff, g/n reader
a/n: ik i could’ve added gorou and yae but dogs and foxes don’t rly have courting behaviors other than humping each other and I WANNA KEEP THIS PG 13🤬 and yes ik cyno rly isn’t a jackal but he’s based off of an egyptian god who’s a jackal, i also just wanted an excuse to write for the sumeru characters lol
cyno: the jackal
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
jackals are exclusively monogamous and live in pairs. they hunt, rest, and forage together and spend nearly all their time together. male jackals will urinate on their territory to ensure that other male jackals will not invade their environment or their female counterparts. once jackals are done mating, the male jackal will bring food to the female jackal and take care of them.
the moment cyno and you become official, he will never leave you alone.
the two of you are attached by the hip, and cyno will always be making sure that people know that you’re his, despite not being too fond of pda.
he’ll give you subtle touches here and there, whether it be putting a hand on your lower back to steer you away from the crowd, gently holding your hand before asking you a question, or resting his hand on your knee when the two of you are sitting together.
he’s also a lot clingier than he’d like to let on. he thinks he’s being subtle but it’s so painfully obvious when he grips the edge of your sleeve, his usually hardened eyes just a tad softer.
“i have to go run some errands, cyno…” you shake your arm a little in hopes of cyno’s hand releasing his death grip on your sleeve
his lips pout ever so slightly, his eyes falling to the ground in disappointment
you giggle at the thought of his subordinates seeing their boss like this, clinging onto you and pouting like a kicked puppy. “i’ll help with your errands then. please?”
you sigh in defeat and let your boyfriend accompany you as you do mundane tasks like grocery shopping and whatnot. but to cyno, being able to spend time with you is something to cherish, as he’s usually so busy dealing with affairs at the akademiya.
cyno is also very protective/possessive, glaring down at anyone who dares to even glance in your direction while you obliviously run your errands.
he won’t be super open about his possessiveness, but will instead show it once you two are alone. the moment the two of you are in private, he’ll give you a bone-crushing hug, refusing to let go until he’s done processing his emotions.
but if someone were to ever make you uncomfortable, he wouldn’t hesitate to summon his polearm, one arm extended to push you behind him as he watches your unwanted suitor crumple up in fear. 
and later when you two arrive home, he’ll just sit there and stare at you in silence, his brain muddled with thoughts.  
“is everything okay…?” you ask.
your boyfriend sighs. “it’s just… i didn’t like that he touched you that way.” he then lowers his voice before saying, “only i’m allowed to do that.” 
tighnari: the fennec fox
male fennec foxes mark their territory with urine and become incredibly aggressive toward one another, particularly when competing for females during the mating season. once they have found a mate, they mate for life with couples inhabiting the same part of the den for the whole year round.
it took a while for tighnari to decide whether or not to make things official. not because he didn’t like you, but because choosing a partner as a fennec fox-hybrid held a lot of weight for his kind.
but the more and more time he spent with you, the more difficult it became to be apart from you. sleeping at night became unbearable, and so did his day-to-day tasks. 
and though tighnari can be quite possessive, he tries to suppress those feelings since the two of you aren’t exactly official yet. but his patience wears thin after a while, especially when someone attempts to court you right in front of him
you can tell when he becomes agitated by the way his ears flick and twitch and the way his tail slowly sways side to side
won’t show the jealousy right in front of you but instead take it out in other passive-aggressive ways. like sending them to patrols as far away from you as possible, or making sure their assignments are as long as possible in order to occupy them and keep them away from you
he knows it’s petty, he knows it’s probably not a healthy way to process his feelings, but he just can’t help it. not when a potential partner-for-life is right there in front of him. 
but when tighnari finally gets the courage to confess, he makes sure you know the weight that this decision holds. you still remember how stern and serious he was when he first told you.
“I just want to make sure you know one more time: fennec foxes are partners for life. I don’t doubt our relationship, but in case you want to leave, I wouldn’t be able to let you. are you sure you’re willing to commit?”
when he hears you say yes, his pointed ears relax and his tail wags softly. he hugs you right there and then, burying his face in your neck and tickling your cheeks with the tips of his ears.
a few days later, he shyly approaches you to tell you that he’s moved your bunker right next to his
“back in my hometown, couples usually live together as soon as they make a relationship official. I… I know doing that may seem too forward, so I decided to just move your bunker next to mine instead… is that okay with you?”
he will respect your boundaries until you’re ready to join the traditions of his kind, but when you finally decide to move in with him, he is over the moon
