✧Asking their crush for a dance✧
pairings: xiao x aether, venti x barbara, mentions of amber x eula
genre: fluff, highschool/modern au,
synopsis: just a variety of genshin ships asking each other for a dance
cw: none
Xiao x Aether
-aether would be the one to ask
-xiao is way too shy/too nervous to approach him
-he's just being a wallflower, chilling by the food table (hoarding all that almond tofu yk)
"Hey Xiao!"
Xiao looked up from his drink as he saw a familiar blond approaching him. He turned bright red, thank archons that it's dark in here he thought to himself. Aether probably just came over to say hi, Xiao told himself. Sure he had been crushing on the boy since freshman year, but he didn't have to act on it now, or ever for that matter.
Snapping him out of his thoughts, Aether grabbed his hand and smiled at him. "Come on, you can't stay here the whole night" Aether said as he guided him to the dance floor. Xiao would've protested, but who was he to deny his crush?
Suddenly, the music switched to a gentle love ballad
Fuck it was a slow dance Xiao thought as Aether turned to face him. The other boy noticed his discomfort "Sorry, I didn't realize that a slow dance would be next, we don't have to if you're uncomfortable-"
"I want to." Xiao blurted out without hesitation.
Realizing what he said, he mentally berated himself but he wasn't going to take it back "I want to dance with you." he said, reiterating himself.
"Well look at you being bold~" Aether said with a teasing tone, he took Xiao's hand again and placed it on his chest.
"Let me lead though"
Venti x Barbara
-ft. amber x eula
-venti would be the one to ask
-barbara probably didn't have a date, so he decided to keep her company
-probably asks her as a joke and doesn't actually expect her to accept (lol that rhymed)
-approaches her when she's by the refreshment table
-she definitely gets super flustered when they start dancing together
Barbara looked around the gymnasium, admiring the decor that the student council had picked out for the dance.
"Wow Amber, you've really outdone yourself" she said, complimenting her friend. "Aww, you flatter me, I couldn't have done it without Noelle's help though" Amber replied. The two continued making small talk as they observed the couples forming for the slow dance.
Going in pairs of two, many students made their way to the dance floor, Barbara spotted many familiar faces in the center of the room, and her heart sunk a little, regretting that she didn't have a date to the dance. She turned to look at Amber who was already with Eula, she had an apologetic look on her face, but Barbara just smiled, her friend deserved this.
As the music slowed down, Barbara stayed by the refreshment table, already having lost count of how many glasses of punch she's poured herself. After downing yet another glass, she felt a tap on her shoulder. "Oh sorry-Venti?" she asked, recognizing her classmate.
"The one and only!" he replied, his tone light and enthusiastic as per usual. "If I may ask, what's our darling idol doing alone? I was certain that many of our classmates would be tripping over themselves to ask you." Venti told her, his tone shifting to become more sincere, yet maintaining his usual playfulness.
Barbara blushed, caught off guard by the compliment. She fidgeted with the hem of her dress, avoiding eye contact with him. "Well, no one really asked me to be their date." she said, slightly embarrassed.
Venti gently grabbed her wrist.
"I guess we'll have to change that then~"
