OO MODREN AU ASK
What are the boys love language!
Xiao
Giving: Quality Time
Of course, quality time isn’t a one-sided thing but Xiao loves to spend time with you. Whether you’re actually doing something together or are just present in the same room doesn’t matter as much as being near you. There’s something very comforting about you being within reach and funnily enough his heart can’t stop racing when the setting turns domestic.
Receiving: Physical Touch
He loves your touch, the feel of your skin against his, always treating him so gently. But Xiao’s not the greatest at initiating it even if he really wants to hold you, so he’s at the receiving end most of the time. Linking pinkies, holding hands, slinging your legs over his lap, hugging him from behind, rolling on top of him in your sleep… whether or not he can see it coming, your touch is always more than welcome.
[Peak combination idea: drawing tattoos on each other or colouring already existing ones (yes I’m bringing this up again)]
Scara
Giving: Acts of Service
It’s clear by now that Scaramouche isn’t the greatest with words; they tend to come out harsher than he intends them to and he’d hate nothing more than accidentally hurting you, so he resorts to showing his affection rather than voicing it. Or that was how it was in the beginning. By now, doing things for you is something he enjoys because he can see how relieved you are when a chore is taken off your plate or how your eyes light up when he makes your favourite dinner. Yeah yeah, he’s the greatest, no need to thank him so profusely (actually keep doing it though, your praise means everything to him).
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
Speaking of praise, you really don’t need to question how his hand covers his cheek or why he turns his head whenever you compliment him. Doesn’t matter if it’s because of work or a new drawing or the outfit he chose to wear, this man will soak up all your flattering words… but not without turning bright red. So pull him out from under his hat and tell him something you like about him; not only is he cute to watch when he’s flustered, it also really means something to him.
Kazuha
Giving: Words of Affirmation
Uhm yeah, Kazuha + Words of Affirmation, who would’ve seen it coming… but it’s true!! Between his eloquent vocabulary and his soft, soothing voice, this man can compliment you five hundred new ways this week, next week and all the way into the next year. The real kicker? It’s always, without fail, genuine. Sure, everyone can sweet talk but Kazuha means it all. Even if he isn’t there with you; he frequently texts throughout the day or leaves sticky notes around the house for you to find. How’s your heart doing? Has it been able to calm down or is your doctor concerned for you?
Receiving: Physical Touch
You might be the one giving here but don’t expect to not get flustered. Sure, you were the one to link your fingers but Kazuha was the one who twirled you around like a dancer. And yes, you might have made yourself at home tugged into his side but how did you end up in his lap? Evidently, Kazuha enjoys your touch just as much as you enjoy touching him, so indulge him a little and come over to him, alright?
Aether
Giving: Gift Giving
Aether is a bit of a travel- enthusiast, so whenever he visits somewhere new, he’s sure to bring you something. And he always makes sure it’s something you’d enjoy. But he doesn’t have to go out of town to bring you a little trinket. Often enough, he shows up with flowers or he drew something and is giving it to you or he was at a pottery shop and look here, you have a new mug. It’s hard not to think of Aether when you look around your home or pick jewellery for that day, his gifts are everywhere. (Maybe that was his endgame all along?)
Receiving: Acts of Service
The poor guy often makes sure the shop doesn’t unravel at the seams by picking up after the others and sorting out their messes, so he breathes a sigh of relief at every chore that’s not falling on him. It could be something small like bringing him lunch or picking the lint off his clothes or something bigger like doing his laundry or cleaning around his place when you know he’s swamped with work and other responsibilities. Whatever you decide to lend a hand with, Aether will forever be grateful to you, wondering how he got lucky enough to meet you.
Heizou
Giving: Physical Touch
Heizou is… a menace. Are you jumpy? Because he’ll startle you so often if you are. Not only because he literally can’t keep his hands off of you and comes up at the most random times just to sling his arm around your shoulders, but also because your reactions are just so adorable to him. But he can be just as cute. Like when he sees something that catches his eye and he grabs your hand instinctively to pull you along while he breaks out into an excited grin or when he swoops you up from your feet so he can settle you onto the couch next to him.
Receiving: Quality Time
This man’s curiosity knows no bounds. And what’s better than to learn something new while spending time with his precious partner? Take him to a museum or, better yet, an escape room and his heart is all yours (as if it wasn’t already). Sure, new knowledge is fun but applying his wits on a puzzle turns him into a child at the candy store. Plus, not only is Heizou going to be stoked, you get to watch and join him in his enthusiasm as he works away, probably figuring everything out way ahead of you but pretending not to, so you can have a crack at the problems too.
Venti
Giving: Words of Affirmation
Another one who will make you swoon with words but Venti goes all out… very casually. You wake up some days to find a good morning text and a poem he wrote at 3am right above it (since he’s often up late, that happens a lot… the wine might help). Or he’ll pluck one of his instruments from the wall while you’re visiting and improvise a song for you, playing it as if he’d known it all his life. It might sound over the top to some but with the amount of attention he pays to details and incorporating even the smallest, (to you) most insignificant things he loves about you, you know he means all of it. Especially when he plucks the strings of his instrument and closes his eyes like he’s having the sweetest of dreams as he spins a new verse about you, his muse.
Receiving: Gift Giving
First of all, this man will keep everything you gift him, everything. The shiny stone you found on a walk and gave him? It’s on his windowsill (and he let out such an offended gasp when Scara tried to throw it out). The hoodie you left at his house? He wears it everyday until you ask for it back. You can hear Venti approach from a mile away because he has every keychain you ever gave him on him, either with his keys or on his bag or tied to his clothes, he’s not leaving a single one behind.

So you know the theory that deca is just sealed under the Tower and could potentially be reawoken someday? Imagine if the abyss order tries to bring him back because the order wants him to destroy mondstadt, and they succeed- but instead of him being an evil being blinded by rage and the desire for vengeance, he’s just. confused.
his first thoughts are “where is everyone” and “why is there a hole in my roof” and even after the initial shock, the abyss order tries to tell him about the way mondstadt is now and how it essentially banned the idea of a monarchy and instead of being angry about this deca is genuinely happy for mondstadt because his ultimate goal was to make the citizens of old mondstadt happy (we all know how that went), and while he failed, his successor (barbatos) did in fact manage to make the citizens of (new) mondstadt happy and content with their lives, while still being protected from outside forces.
the abyss order only focused on the “evil dead tyrant god” part and somehow overlooked the fact that he was also an introvert who just wanted people to be protected from the blizzards but micromanaged a *bit* too hard
YEAH
At MOST he's going "well that just seems inefficient :/" at modern Mondstadt. He is pointing out the distance between Springvale and the city isn't that well protected- could use more rails - also some more lights
Jean is going to be so P.P at his constant pointing of the knights failures. He says it all with such concern but also a flat tone so she dosen't know if he is mocking her or not.
"They banned the monarchy!"
"... yeah they sealed me away of course they wouldn't have a monarch"
Considering how Decarabian 'died' realizing that his nation did not love him the same way he loved them, I think he would be... insecure... about needing to be needed. He wants to be popular and loved and see a genuine smile again.
You know when you play stardew valley and you put a Fun ingrident into the soup and lose many hearts with the villages? Yeah Deca is constantly hovering around wanting to give gifts and talk to people. He is Trying but also is an introvert who has no social grace 😔
Deca, seeing a person who looks like that bard that was popular with the rebels call himself the most popular and thus loved bard of all of Mondstadt: Oh i need to brush up on my harp playing skills
