Hi hi!! I hope you’re doing well!!

So in regards to ideas for stuff with Gorou, gods I’ve a mighty need for just,, comfort with him.

So please excuse me but perhaps ‘Reader is upset that people constantly talk over them/ignore them. They kind of feel like their opinions aren’t valued and that people really don’t care about what they have to say and Gorou finds them in a kind of hidden place and helps them feel better’? Or something like that!!

safe, once more

pairing: gorou x reader

tags: fluff, comfort

“there you are!” he sighs a breath of relief and smiles at the corners of his lips. “you disappeared so suddenly for lunch…”

the doggie general of the school, known famously for training dogs to assist in police and other law endeavors, appears through the small entrance of your comfy retreat—just enough to see you.

you meet him with silence, maybe even a hum acknowledging his presence. awkwardly, but worriedly, he seems to take a step closer to you.

“do you mind if i eat with you this time?”

why oppose him? after all, it’s not like you’re eating with anyone else. those people from english swore they would love to eat lunch with you sometime—but found their time more valuably spent with some of those stupid jocks from the football team. and your tablemates from your history class? they’re busy with the upcoming academic team match against sumeru academia…

you nod, and gorou approaches to take a seat next to you, unbuttoning a single button from his shirt and taking off his coat—folding it and tucking it in his bag.

gorou sees you yawn and rub your eyes. perhaps a long day, he thinks. he knows how much other people seem to give you a hard time in the halls. they don’t bully you to an extreme extent, like how some of the upperclassmen like to “joke” around with bennett. there was this one time you were sharing hobbies as icebreakers—and now, other students just tend to joke about your old “jobs,” or how much of a “nerd” you really are. and trying to explain it is just… exhausting, at this point, you just want to—

well, gorou decided before tucking his jacket in his bag, he unraveled the garment and draped it over your shoulders. a cool spring breeze and a lonely friend, what could he possibly do? he sees the way the corners and slits of your eyes droop down, similar to how his ears react when he knows you’re sad. and he notes of the nature which you just twiddle with your fingers or play with whatever’s on the floor, whether it’s rocks, grass, dust, or a pencil that rolled astray from someone else.

“i’ve seen how… people just ignore you,” he inquires, breaking the silence. you hold your breath similarly, refusing to acknowledge the truth.”

“i don’t think it’s okay for them to just to do that. after all, you’re human too! so, if you don’t have anyone to chat with—i’m always here! i take care of my council duties on the weekends, so please, just don’t worry about bothe—“

he’s interrupted by a tight hug. his bento and chopsticks peek just out of the top of his bag as he tumbles a little backwards. gorou embraces you tightly, wrapping his arms around your back and nestling his head in the crook of your neck in reciprocation to you doing the same action.

“(y/n)? i’m sorry, did i accidentally…?”

“no. no, gorou, you’ve done nothing wrong. just… thank you.”

the general smiles at such a comment.

“if there’s anything that you want to talk about, i’m here for you. you’ll be safe, once more—now that i’m here.”

Hi, I came across your account when it, for some reason, popped up on my dashboard and I noticed that you write angst but there's no Gorou posts.

So, I give you a Gorou angst piece. When Kokomi's parents come to his parents with a marriage contract in hand, Gorou is torn between bowing to his parents' wishes to marry Kokomi or remain faithful to you. He eventually gives into the pressure and breaks off his relationship with you to marry Kokomi. On the day before his wedding, you leave Inazuma for Sumeru, where you take up the post as the Matra's medical examiner; a position Cyno has specifically reserved for you.

I'm so sorry I had many casualties being hospitalized again but I'm discharged now and I can hopefully work on some more requests. I am once again sincerely apologizing.

Fading affections

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

Gorou x reader

(some x Cyno, can be platonic or Romantic you choose)

Angst w comfort!

Warnings: cheating, detailed mentions of war, eloping?? Abandonment of children aka Gorou being a horrible father

Context: Kokomi's parents offer Gorou a contract, little did you know Gorou and Kokomi had an affair this whole time since the start of the war leaving the other side of your bed cold even more often.

Did it really matter? Did your whole relationship even matter? Three years of trust, love, communication, saftey was all pouring down the drain the moment the general told you that he wanted to separate ways. But You knew everything. You knew that since this horrible war started that he didn't love just You anymore. You did not know who his mistress was, or what you and your family would do. How would the child that You protected with your life. Said child watching their world shatter around them as they listened to their fathers voice.

"Listen, I'll keep this short. We must part ways, I wish to be with Her Excellency, Kokomi. Her parents came to me with their blessings and a mirrage contract."

"Or was it just your affair? Did you ever really want to be with me? Gorou we have a family why do you do this now." You lashed out at him angrily as he looked away, submissive expression on his face. His beautiful bright teal eyes looking anywhere else with visible pain. He didn't love only you, but deep down you both knew you still loved each other. He just didn't want you anymore. All he muttered is small apologies with the heaviest guilt and pressure ever seen on him.

"Get out of my sight please." Is all you can say, signing off the divorce papers and pushing them onto him before walking to your now dull and empty what was once shared room. The room you had so many memories in, joy, sadness, anger, pleasure. And you all overcame them with him. But he was no longer there to share with any longer. No warmth was left in your home with just you and your child. Your family was not whole, would not be whole like it was.

Replaced. You and your child. Gorou used to visit, he was a good dad.. for a short while. Not long after their wedding kokomi fell pregnant. Your kid was already traumatized of the divorce. And now your kid refuses to even go near it's father. What a shame. And yet Gorou can't even see what's wrong. When he's friendly with You, when he tries to bond with his kid. It's so obvious, how much Gorou favors his and kokomi's kid. Good riddance.

It was that moment he realized that you're gone only did he regret everything. Even after watching countless of his friends fall, watching the explosions, the blood, his team mates getting stabbed, the screams, the weapons, the innocent civilians dying at his hands for the war. The people around him begging and fighting for their life and families. Every drink he took, every new wound he endured and yet this wound was permanent. Maybe he didn't love just you, but he loved you. He knew he loved you.

His life dull, his heart begging for you to come back. He tried so hard to find you and yet he couldn't. The last he heard was from one of the Kaedehara clan who said that he has traveled with You and Your child to sumeru. His heart shattered at the words. His last hope of ever speaking to you again falling into a void. He visibly regretted everything. Not wanting to take care of his new family. Violently disgusted in every passionate heated moment with her.

But it truly did not matter any longer. Now that you and your kid where elsewhere, you both would be okay. Your new life travelling as the care taker of the Matra, you eventually became close with him. Your child and Cynos mutual adoration for eachother being so sweet that even you can't help but smile. Them treating each other like family. Not in the way Gorou 'cared' but in their own special way.

You didn't need Gorou, no matter what as long as you had your kid and Cyno you'd be okay. All three of You knew that without anything being said, the care us truly mutual. You can only thank Cyno for ever offering the job to you as his medical examiner. Because of him your kid and you will always be happy and strong now, no matter what all three of you would have eachother and every night, sleeping with that comfort was easy.

"Hey do you want to hear another joke?"

"NO."

summary : it's hard for you to think you're beautiful when scars from your past linger on your face. but do these men think the same, that those scars of yours minimise your beauty?

word count : [ to be added later ]

genre : angst with comfort.

cw / tw : mentions of childhood trauma, mentions of war, mentions of fights, reader being uncomfortable with their looks.

characters : childe, baizhu, gorou, kaeya, kaveh.

note : always remember you are beautiful no matter the way you look. you're unique the way you are and that's part of your charm ♡

ajax | childe | tartaglia

no, not at all. should they?

he was a seasoned warrior. he was the first one whose body was covered in battle remains, and he was so goddamn proud of each one of them. and he thought you should be too.

so when he learnt you didn't like them, and even try to hide them as much as possible, he was taken aback. why would you cover the memories of what you fought and won against to? that was nonsense!... for him, at least.

when you explained to him that you got them because of a childhood accident and that, since then, people have been looking at you with pity, making you take a huge dislike to them, he felt shocked.

anger started bubbling up in his blood. he wished to inflict to the people who caused your accident the same kind of pain they made you experience, but ten times worse. he only stopped his thoughts because you told him so.

somehow the topic moved onto dating and, upon hearing people refrained from going with you because your scars, according to them, "ruin your overall pretty face", he was at it all over again.

how did they dare to say you couldn't be dated because of your scars?! you were the freaking cutest person liyue harbor could have given birth to! for bloody abyss' sake!

and he told you that, he told you how damn cute and beautiful you were, and that in his eyes your scars were bonus points, because warriors have scars, and warriors are prideful! and you should keep up to this!

to further prove his point, he kissed that big scar you could never manage to properly hide. his rough and bitten lips felt surprisingly soft against your sensitive skin, your cheeks warming up at the gentle touch.

«never let those idiots have the better of your thoughts ever again, you got me? you're stunning even like this- no, even more, because you managed to live past it. you're pretty, always remember that, okay?»

baizhu

of course not, how could they?

however, he could understand why you were so prone to think otherwise. like him with his chronic sickness, you didn't want people to know about such an unsavoury (according to you) feature you had.

but unlike him, you couldn't hide it from other people, not at all at least. it pained you, and he could see that. your eyes turning down whenever they witnessed a pitiful look from someone were enough to understand how you felt.

if he could, he would give you an ointment to put over them, but the cuts that left you those scars have long healed, since you got them at an early age.

he would ask you how you got such scars, and upon hearing it was because of a wild animal attacking you, he felt displeased. how could your guardian let that happen? where were they at that time?

it reminded him of qiqi's accident that had her get her vision but also turn into a zombie — an absent guardian that couldn't do the only thing they were tasked to, their negligence causing pain to the small being that was entrusted into their care.

you would dismiss that, telling him you didn't resent your guardian because it was your fault for running away to explore, not caring about the wild surroundings, but he would disagree.

a small argument would follow, but it would die down as quickly as it started. he was only concerned about you, and you understood that. if all, it made your heart flutter for how caring he was toward you.

«i really can't stand the circumstances of how that happened, but unfortunately i can't go back in time and stop it from happening. but know that, even if you have scars, they don't conceal your beauty. and remember, beauty isn't only about looks, it is especially about one's soul. and yours is indeed magnificent.»

gorou

they could never.

but he could understand you. being a general meant having a lot of scars, so he knew the feeling of having eyes on you because of them.

except that, much like childe, he was proud of them. they were a reminder of how fiercely he fought for the freedom from the vision hunt decree, they showed how he was in the front line for his people and the entirety of inazuma.

and you knew that, because you took part in the war right by his side, together with aether and kazuha and your soldier companions.

it was right during a battle on nazuchi beach that you got your scars. you fell under the attack of a shogunate soldier and, hadn't it been for beidou and her claymore, you wouldn't have escaped it alive.

he thought that your scars were a proof of the courage you showed in battle, fiercely fighting because you believed in the principle of freedom and it was nonsense depriving people of theirs because of "eternity".

but now that the war was over and you were back to being a simple civilian, it was hard to not focus on your scarred body and face. before you were too busy in assuring your companions were safe, but now too much free time was sitting in your hands.

people's eyes were constantly on your face, witnessing the horrors of the war, pity in their looks as you passed by. and you hated that, hated it so so much that you ran away and found refuge on an isolated beach of watatsumi, under the moonlight.

he found you there, curled in a ball, one hand playing with the white sand as your face was hidden in your knees. you heard him but, even before you could try, he stopped you from running away again, his eyes poking holes into yours as he spoke, his hands holding yours.

«i know it's hard to stand people's gaze, i can feel it as well. but remember this: you fought in a war, you couldn't possibly get out of it untouched. your presence saved many soldiers and helped us win, because it was a group effort. if people can't go past your scars, ignore them, they didn't live what we did. i'm proud of how well you did, and you should be proud of yourself too.»

kaeya

tsk. you had some guts to think such nonsense.

as a knight, you were no stranger to fights and battles. it was part of your duty in protecting the land of the anemo archon, and you never regretted the pain, because you felt the loving embrace of lord barbatos' gentle winds reassuring you.

and it was that same embrace that you felt after a battle against some hilichurls during your patrolling route, amber by your side. you easily slashed the monsters off, and you thought it was over, a chilly breeze messing with your hair, helping you relax. and that was your mistake.

a huge mitachurl with an axe came from behind and attacked you. you, unprepared, were caught by surprise and took over by the monster, who managed to tower over you with his flaming axe. hadn't it been for amber, you wouldn't have gotten only scars.

after that episode jean forced you to take a break for a while, to relax and enjoy the peace of mondstadt. but on the first day, as soon as you stepped out and were among people, you wished you could run in the outskirts and never come back.

all the citizens' eyes were on your scarred face, still fresh and tinted in a strong hue of pink because of the blood rushing through. and it was enough to push you back inside your home and make you decide you won't go outside till you could go back to your knightly duties.

it was easy, then, to notice your absence in the hustle and bustle of the city life, kaeya noticed. he would go ask around about you, but with no success. so he would think to go directly to you and see for himself what pushed you to be a reclusive when you were normally always eager to be outside and enjoy the everlasting good weather in mondstadt.

seeing kaeya on your door was the last thing you were expecting, but he was still your captain and you couldn't possibly refuse his request to see you. so you let him inside, head low, hair covering your face. and of course he noticed, as he always did.

he went straight to the point, asking what has been wrong with you as of lately. at first you would try to drive the conversation in another direction to not answer and let him know about your thoughts, but kaeya was too smart for that, and you both knew it.

you gave up after just a few tries, and so you blurted out everything that happened, your thoughts and your insecurities. he listened to you carefully, silence filling the room... till he flicked your forehead — you were so stupid, really.

he took your hands in his, tongue clicking his cheek before he started talking.

«the almighty y/n down the weather because of a few scars? i was expecting much worse- and no, don't give me that look, you know deep down i'm right. have i taught you nothing about being charming even when you have strange quirks? i have an eyepatch, you have your scars, so what? people can't deny that your beauty is still there, it just got a new feature. not a big deal. so stop being dramatic, you're still as fine as a glass of death after noon.»

kaveh

those little scars aren't enough to hide your beauty from his prying eyes.

he was an art connoisseur, meaning any piece of art he landed his eyes on he could recognise its value. and you were the most precious one he has seen in his whole life.

that being said, he truly couldn't understand why you couldn't see yourself the same way he saw you. have your perception of yourself changed that much because of a few scars?

you were a matra working together with cyno and other higher-ups, being one yourself. so it's useless to say you were always on the front line, fighting side by side with the general mahamatra during certain missions or operations.

it was during an expedition in the desert that you and your group fell in an ambush, a fight soon breaking out. a fatui soldier smacked you down and his bullets reached your face, cutting all over and leaving bleeding wounds that scarred.

back to sumeru city after a period of rest cyno forced you to take, people started looking at you as if you were some sort of alien. and it pained you so much you no longer were able to hold your head up; your heart was full of hatred for your reflection, resentment for the fatui, anger for your incompetence in preventing such accident.

but all those thoughts would disappear as soon as kaveh got to know them, your rambling bursting out after you reached your limit. you weren't one to cry easily, so seeing your eyes red with tears had him realise how much it affected you.

he took you away to let you cry in peace, and waited for you to calm down before his words came out so you could listen to them clearly.

«you're currently in the middle of an emotional storm, and that's fine. i, unfortunately, can't understand the way you're feeling, but one thing that i understand is art. and you, y/n, you're the finest piece i have ever seen. it doesn't matter you have scars on your beauty, even ancient palaces have cracks, yet we still deem them of fine beauty. and that's your case too.»

heeello there, i just got done having the biggest cry i've had in awhile so i've come to ask for some comfort with itto, gorou, heizou and scara if possible comforting their s/o (preferrably gn) who's hiding away having a breakdown bc they're the designated therapist friend everyone goes to for support while they have no one to support them. Ty for your time and sorry for throwing this on ya

I’m sorry to hear that dear, I hope you’re feeling okay. And I’m sorry for getting to this so late. I understand how you feel, I too was a designated therapist friend, so this hits close to home. I’m more than happy to provide you some comfort ❤️. I’m sorry Scara’s is so short, I couldn’t see him do anything else other than violence dfjfdngfd.

Genshin Men Comforting Therapist Friend Reader

Genre: hurt/comfort

Warnings: toxic friendships, implied violence (scara), manipulation (heizou, not towards reader), mentions of spreading STI’s (heizou)

Gorou

Gorou was starting to get worried when he couldn’t find you anywhere. With everything being tense between the Shogunate and the Resistance, he was starting to think of the worst possible scenarios that could've led to your disappearance

But when Kokomi came up to him and said that you were hiding in her own hiding place crying, he felt a sense of dread and relief. Relief because you were still here and not kidnapped by the Shogunate. Dread because, well, you’re hiding and crying

He rushed over to you immediately, and prompted to comfort now and ask questions later

He held you to his chest, tail wrapping around your waist as he hushed you, rocking you back and forth

His presence alone was enough to make you calm down a little

He even let you pet his ears to help you stop, and it worked surprisingly

His eyes scanned you over as you played with his ears, seeing if there were any physical injuries plaguing your skin

When he was sure you were okay in that aspect, he whispered out, “What has gotten my beloved upset? If you wish to tell me, then please do. But I won’t rush you either. I’m here to help.”

His words almost made you start crying again. Finally, someone who is caring for you

Gorou is lowkey panicking when you start to tear up again

But when the words spill from your mouth about how people you delcared as friends in the Resistance are using you for emotional support without providing back, he finds it hard to hold back a growl

His arms hold you tighter, playing with your hair. He’s going through every logical solution to the problem, but he keeps circling back to snapping at the ‘friends’ that left you in such a state

Once you’ve calmed down a bit, he’s carrying you back to the shrine, whispering words of encouragment

Saying how good you are, that you’re such an amazing person. That you’re worth it, you’re more than a therapist. You’re sweet, kind, loving, and worth fighting for

He sits down with Kokomi to talk about the issue once he sees you getting some much needed rest

They both come up with a plan to form a seminar about the importance of caring just as much as being cared for

Gorou is glaring at a specific group of people throughout the whole thing

Heizou

Heizou was about to form a search party with the whole Tenryou Commission when he came home and you weren’t there

He’s normally level headed, prompting to think things through way before flying off the handle. But when it comes to you? His first instinct is to internally freak out

Once he managed to calm himself down and start thinking rationally again, he started going through more logical reasonings as to what happened. And knowing you, he can figure it out quite easily

Ever the clever little detective, he boiled it down to one possible situation: An emotional event happened that caused you to seclude yourself. With that being said, he knows you’re somewhere in Inazuma City considering how you couldn’t have gone too far. Further thinking, he knew the exact place you’d go: Under the cliff side down by the harbor.

As always, he was correct. Seeing you leaning against the rocks with a blank look, tears staining your flushed cheeks. He’s never seen you so defeated and heartbroken before. It shattered his heart to see you like that

Prompting to keep up with his flirty boy persona, he walks up to you with a beaming smile “There’s my dreamy love, what’s gotten you so down in the dumps?”

At first you’re truly adament on not telling him, trying to say that you’re fine. you’re okay. That you’re just overreacting and he doesnt need to worry

And to that he’s saying bullshit. He’ll get it out of you one way or another. He’s good at that considering how that’s practically part of his job description

Slowly but surely, he’ll work you to slipping up, ending up venting to him about how exhausted you are. How you’re just tired of being used to solve your ‘friends’ problems. Tired of the toxic mentality they’re leading you to believe. You’re. Just. So. Tired

The whole time he’s listening attentively, holding you close and kissing your temple every now and then. He’s secrelty plotting what to do with these…friends of yours

He coaxs you to allow him to carry you back home. He’ll lay you in bed, cuddle with you, and wait till you’re asleep to slip back out again

He finds the people that put you through so much pain and oh boy is he making sure they don’t hurt you again. Lets just say he did some back ground checks on them

“Unless you want the whole city to know that you two are the reason for the STI pandemic a couple of months ago, then I suggest you, how do I put this? Be more mindful of people’s feelings, yeah?”

Although he recommends you get new friends all together. He’ll even introduce you to Yoimiya!

Scaramouche

He. Is. Raising. Hell.

No one is coming out alive, I’m sorry

Not when he stumbles upon you curled up on the bathroom floor and baaling (haha) your eyes out

Not when you’re so hysterical from the amount of emotional and mental build up from those who you call friends caused you

Leaving you out to dry when you’ve done everything for them? That’s rich, especially for the guy who uses people for his own benefits for a leaving

Maybe if it was someone else, he would congratulate them on a job well done

But since it’s you, the one and only person he cherishes, he’s losing his mind

The most he’ll do to comfort you is to lead you back to bed and drape a blanket over you, allowing you to cry it out

Comfort is his weak point, he doesn’t really know how. But what he does know what to do is to cause pain

And pain he will cause

He’s marching over to them, a wicked grin on his face

To save the gory details, lets just say he used them as target practice

When he comes back, all he says is “You’re going to need new ‘friends.’ Or, just, don’t have any at all. They’re pathetic anyway.”

hihi!! i saw your event and i love the theme jdbsjs <33 also happy (early?) birthday to both you and koi!!

can i request a 4 star pull for genshin impact? the trope would be they forgot your birthday (hurt/comfort pls) ☺️☺️ with xiao, diluc, and gorou?

thank you so much!! if i didn’t request correctly pls feel free to dm me :,)

when they forget your birthday...

etc: established relationship, modern au![character] x gn!reader, gn pronouns used (they/them/mx.), food mentions (not descriptive), probably very ooc i'm sorry

notes: the favoritism is real in this one :,)

reblogs > likes ! <3

preface: he gets home late from his work and has yet to say anything about it being your birthday. reasoning that he has a surprise for you, you decided to stay up. but as the hours went by, you drift asleep, the creak of the door when he finally returns waking you up. pretending to be asleep, you could barely contain your excitement. he whispers your name, but no response (you have to commit to the act after all), so he showers and gets ready for bed. as he gets under the blankets, he pulls you closer and kisses you goodnight. yet there's still nothing about your birthday...

xiao

doesn't realize until he sees his reminder too late

it's already the morning after: he wakes up to find that you're not in bed but hears the kitchen sink running so he assumes you're doing the dishes

picking up his phone, he notices the notification he had failed to see the day before "y/n's birthday - yesterday"

sits up in a panic, thinking back to see if he had even wished you a happy birthday (he realizes that he did not)

he even goes so far as to remember how sad you were that he was scheduled to work on your birthday (but you brushed it off, saying that as long as you could spend some of it with him, it'd be alright)

he scrambled to throw some clothes on (he has not checked the time yet but it's 11:48am - he doesn't wake up early, anything before 12 is a miracle)

reasons that he should at least get you something, so he thinks back, desperately trying to remember anything you stared at for too long or tried to subtly hint that you wanted (he knew what you were doing and always tried to keep a mental list of everything)

remembering something, he rushes out (you don't hear him as you were listening to music as you were doing some house chores to keep yourself distracted)

makes it to the store with the item still in stock (it was the last one) and immediately buys it (doesn't even look at the price tag, just shoves his card at the employee - but politely because he's not rude)

notices a flower shop and stops by to get you a bouquet of your favorite flowers (he asks the florist for the prettiest and best arrangement they could make, assuring them that he could pay for it and not to worry about that)

when he gets home, he notices that you made him lunch when you didn't have to since you were bound to be at least very upset with him if not extremely (his stomach growls, he's used too much energy on an empty stomach)

he's not the type to make lame excuses, he gets straight to the point, apologizing that he forgot that it was your birthday and asking if there was anything in particular you wanted so that he could make up for it

also hands you the gifts he got for you, noticing that you're trying to fight back your smile (he thinks the way you're trying to keep up your anger is adorable, but he knows that now's not the time for that)

does absolutely anything and everything you ask (within reason of course), treating the day as if it were your actual birthday

finally earns a thank you kiss from you at the end of the day and lots of cuddles

diluc

is up before you (he has to supervise today)

but is most definitely stalling, savoring the time that he gets to see you as he gets ready to leave

kisses you softly, whispering that he'll be back soon and not to miss him too much

doesn't realize until one of his employees mentions it casually ("oh, mr. diluc, what did you get mx. y/n for their birthday?")

he freezes, like actually freezes and is like "what did you say?"

never once has he forgotten your birthday, and to think he's started now makes him literally sick to his stomach

he's demanding to know the day and when he learns that he indeed did forget your birthday, he flips

gives everyone the day off and puts up the closed sign

he makes lots of stops afterwards

the first is the jewelry shop (he decided last year that he was going to get you a ring this year, and so he does)

despite being in a rush, he takes his time with his gifts - he's looking through all of the displays, finally deciding on what he deems the most perfect and purchases it

next is the supermarket, he's going to make you your favorite so he takes his time to choose the best ingredients

third is a flower shop to get you the basket of flowers you had always wanted (yes he remembers even though you mentioned it once on your first date together)

his final stop is the bakery to choose out the best cake and if there wasn't any, he would go to each bakery within a 10 mile radius to find one

it's later than he had hoped when he returns home to you - he finds you sitting on the couch hugging a pillow and watching a show on the tv

whether you noticed him or not, he didn't know, so he set everything on the kitchen table and walked up to you, hands gently holding yours as he pulled you into a hug, burying his nose deep into the crook of your neck, whispering how sorry he is for forgetting and promising that it would never happen again

he then takes your hand again and leads you to the kitchen to give you all the gifts he had gotten you today

he spoils you a bit more than he usually would but he doesn't mind, because the smile you give him afterward makes it all worth it

gorou

is tossing and turning as he slept - something itching the back of his mind kept him from sleeping peacefully, as if he were forgetting something

shoots awake as he looks at the time (03:17) when he notices the date too

is flipping out and he looks at you with your back turned to him, the steady rise and fall almost lulling him back to sleep, tempting him to fall back into his pillow and cuddle with you until he fell asleep again - almost

but he shakes you awake, "let's go somewhere"

you're both in your sleep clothes as you walked around the neighborhood, making it to the street lamp where you both had shared your first kiss

his heart always beats a little bit faster whenever he passes by this street lamp, lips tingling as they remembered the feeling of yours on his

he spins you around before his hands find their spot on your waist, and as he gently pulls you in, he whispers “sorry i’m late, happy birthday, my love”

and of course he kisses you (you’re literally at the place where you shared your first kiss with him, why wouldn’t he)

he’s tempted to make it a tradition now (but on time obviously) so he does

next year, you can expect him to pull you out of the comfort of your shared bed, walking through the neighborhood to the lamp

but today he calls in sick (he told you that he was lovesick, and therefore needed the day off to spend cuddling with you - he didn’t tell his boss that of course)

would also vow to himself to just take the entire day off on your birthdays from now on as to not let this happen again

love, koi

p.s. ALSO I DON'T HATE GOROU OR ANYTHING I SWEAR it's just that i got super carried away with xiao's and diluc's :,)))))))) thank you miso so much for joining!! <3

Genshin Guys Taking Care of You When You're Sick~

ft. Aether, Albedo, Bennett, Childe, Diluc, Gorou, Venti, Kazuha, Xiao, Xingqiu, Zhongli, Thoma

Heard everyone is sick for the holidays, including yours truly so here's some sick comfort! Its been a while since I played, and I'm npt caught up in the archon quests so Im sorry if theres any inaccurate headcanons in here, otherwise I hope yall enjoy ^^

Aether

This sweet man would be good at taking care of you, just possibly not the best

He and Lumine got sick when they were little and had to help each other out, so he obviously knows what to do, but its been a while

For this headcanon, lets say you have the common cold, but Aether is so caught up in trying to figure out symptoms and medicines and he always wonders when the next time he or his friends will be attacked, so our boy is overthinking a whole LOT

He probably thinks you have the flu, he heard it was spreading in Mondstadt and you then conviently passed out when yall went fishing w Paimon

first thing he does is pick you up and lay you near a statue of the 7, before grabbing a cool rag

Everything probably would roll smoothly if it werent for paimon distracting him

He takes a deep breath and continues w paimon pestering him lmao

just imagine waking up on the comfy grass and hearing a hushed argument until Paimon just starts yelling and makes your head split in 2

Aether would put his hands on your ears when he tells paimon to leave

He sighs and gathers you into his arms to hold you, he truly was worried

He would try to make you chuckle a bit with some dad jokes to downplay his worry

I can see him trying to take all the burden on himself so you dont have to suffer any longer than you have to🥲 pls let him know that youre okay

he ends up cooking some fish for you, even if youre not hungry, he will try to make eating seem fun? in a way ig

he'll make the train noises or the airplane, maybe even tickle you a bit to get you to open your mouth

he'll also give you a bit of his clothing if youre cold, if youre the opposite, he will grab some more water from the pond you were fishing at

Aether was taking a long time at the pond so you gathered some flowers you found about the area, you were fine for the most part but you felt imbalanced

you saw aether in the distance and you walk to him before accidentally collapsing in his arms

if you get a low grade fever when you get the cold, he will freak out a bit, especially if you start coughing and he will take you to barbara

when he learns its just a cold from the church he will sigh in relief, glad youll be okay

he feels a tug on his sleeve and in his view he'll see some dandelions ticking his face as you push the flowers towards him

he pats your head and takes your gift, he'll continue to make you rest in the church and continue visiting til you get better! he n paimon will bring a few gifts too :D

Albedo

this mans is basically your own doctor and I feel like if he gets bored, he will abandon his work in a heartbeat (unless one of the mondstadt officials request his research djdjdj)

You're in dragonspine, a freezing place that you probably shouldnt be in due to your lack of clothes

when you start to sneeze a few times, albedo doesnt think too much at first, he's seen many people sneeze and be fine a few mins later

but when you keep sneezing, he keeps side eyeing you, silently observing you until you sneeze for the 5th time

he'll head over to you (you were looking at the view near his study in the mountains) before feeling your forehead and taking you away with the tug of his hand

lets say you get emotional when youre sick, so when you see albedo soft for you, you start to cry

he's obviously alarmed bc he doesnt know what emotions are-

just kidding, but he's mostly knowledged by the chemicals that go into how emotions are formed, having empathy is still a bit of a task for him

you'll start crying when he gave you some leftover soup from lunch and when he sits next to you, leaving a hand on your knee to quietly let you know that he's there

needing some emotional support, you place down the soup and give our cute piece of chalk a hug while feverishly murmuring nonsense about how much he means to you

he slightly chuckles, he's never seen you in this vulnerable state before

he'll place you in his lap, gently rocking you like he does w klee when she's sleepy

he'll even play w your hair to keep himself content

ik this man will get bored but he will do anything to make you feep better

sure he has his studies but he will continue to hold you until you sleep

when youre too sleepy to acknowledge anything he'll give you some meds before dreamland takes over

Bennett

has no idea what to do

also i only just realized how long these prompts are so i will try to shorten them a smidge

anyways he thinks he got you sick

he'll try to get you meds and then totally buys you the wrong ones

when he comes back to your bedside, he will be whimpering w sad eyes, but w one headpat from you and some encouragement he will try to get some soup

you will not be getting soup ;.;

you pretend to be asleep when he comes by w his homecooked meal lmao

I think he'll then ask his dads to help bc boi needs support

when you actually sleep, you'll wake up w him on the complete other side of the room so he doesnt wake you lol

he'll have a card for you that all your friends signed and his dads actually bought you some soup from Sara and got medicine from the church

you thank bennet when you see how hard he worked for this

boi cries just a lil bit👌🏻

Childe

he has a dozen billion siblings

he knows what to do but will pretend he doesnt

He'll try to give you meds w out a glass of water to wash it down until you bonk him in the head w your sword

but if you actually start getting delirious or smth will he stop the happy go lucky act

he'll try to keep you asleep all day; only waking you when he needs you to eat

some crackers n gingerale👍🏻 his go to

he'll also have some weird family remedy like those potatoes in your sock or a clove of garlic by your bedside

but in the end he will cuddle you if you need some emotional support of help sleeping

he'll tell you funny stories of his family or stupid convos he has had w the fatui to make you smile

once youre all better he will tease you for the next 2 wks that you needed prince charming to save you from your illness

dont be afraid to punch him -w your lips-

Diluc

king knows what you need

he's just always busy w his wine business and his stupid clients :/

mostly the maids will help you to health, yk with congestion and getting you to eat or at least relying on your cravings

I can see this man walking into your room late at night, he thinks youre asleep

he'll sit by your side and run his fingers through your hair and apologizing for not being there for you

he actually learned to make some soup himself just for you

and he bought some flowers on the way home

I can see him be more of a materialistic guy and you having to remind him that you have more than enough

if you 'wake up' when he's playing w your hair, he'll read you a story (like oml he has so many books) and hold you in a side hug

Gorou

one of my favs but sorry he will be a wreck

he will probs be coming back from work w kokomi, going over new strategies blah blah

when he sees you on his doorstep, burning up and in tears

first of all, you scared this man to death✋🏻 its late at night and he thought you were a hobo w one too many drinks

he'll sigh w relief and bring you inside once he realizes that you arent capablw of too much in your ill state

he'll ask some guards walking by to get some medicine for your fever

I'm sure he has some blended juice or a convient meal to heat up, he is in the army

itll have nutrition and be disgusting😍 but he's trying his best djnddjm

itll take a few mins to gather his composure but he'll play w your hair to ease his nerves and gather you in a nest of blankets

doggo boi must protect his tribe (you)

he'll definitely give you kisses to keep his scent on you so nobody messes w you when you're sleeping

in the morning, he will definitely be sick too🥲

Venti

ah yes, the drunk old guy who sits in the corner of all the family events

he would absolutely show up to a strangers wedding for the booze and pretend he's the groom's 4th cousin lmao

anyways

he would tease you at first if you have a minor cold

he'd wrap you in blankets and tuck you in super tight so you cant move

or he will aso spoonfeed you but he would say smth like 'here comes the anemo archon aka the super hottest guy yk giving you soup so open tf upppp swooshhh'

it works everytime istg

but when you do feel super icky, its forehead kisses for daysss

obviously plays you a lullaby he wrote for you🥺

lets you lean on his shoulder and comforts you w his words and gentle hands

if he was a parent he would be silly but he would do that gentle parenting thing and also use it on you when you're confused w your emotions like rn

he just says what he wished he could hear😭

"yn, you've been so strong, it's okay to relax for now. It mustve been so hard for you. Close your eyes and listen to my words. You are loved and I appreciate everything you do. Just listen to my heart and breathe with me. My warrior, you worked so hard shhh"

i need venti to hold me and shush me pls🙏🏻

once you dont feel as icky, he'll go back to being an ass

like fr, he will pull your hair and twist it into some ugly crappy style😔

but the soft moments make you stay

Kazuha

KAZUHA KAZUHA

a literal legend

he'll sing you some inazuman melodies and ask for your opinion on poems he has composed

he's probably one of the softest to help comfort you

he will try to comfort your vulnerable state and defintely is one to baby you so you dont have to worry about a thing

the cheek nuzzles, headpats, and back rubs ahh

this man knows what you need and when you need it

he'll stay up super late asking the crew to stop at the next town to get you medicine and asks beidou to keep you company

he regrets asking beidou bc she almost got you drunk when you said your head hurt

she wanted to help you numb the pain

overall 12/10, definitely recommend hitting him up

Xiao

bark bark grr

jkjk.. unless

man hasnt got a clue what to do, he just got back from murdering some ghouls and your sick on the roof (yes i totally forgot what the hotel place where you first meet xiao is called, i havent played in like 3 months, dont be mad)

gets the counter lady's advice and gets some food from that resturaunt below

xiao uses some uh interesting techiniques to help you...

tries to hang you upside down

ties you to the best so you dont move when you sleep

..get your mind out of the gutter you sinner this boy doesnt even know where babies come from

in the end, xiao will be hard on himself so praise him and pls tell him what you need him to do

he can grab you some of your fav soup and will travel to liyue if you request it, he will also hold you if you ask

sure he will be flustered but he will literally never not do as you say

Xingqiu

i absolutely love this man, i wish there was more hurt/comfort fanfics w him so if you know good ones, pls @ me

ngl, his fam cant know about you, theyre strict

so he takes care of you in like a random shed in the middle of nowhere🥳💃🏻

i can see him and chongyun going there a lot together so nobody disturbs them and xingqiu wont get in trouble w his father or brother

the shed is decent, it has books and a good supply of food and water, it even has a good sized bed

1 bed trope w xingqiu and chongyun😳

anyways

xingqiu hates keeping you there but will ofc take care of you like youre in a five star hotel

i dont think he isnt good at cooking but can defintely make like canned soup or buy bread or smth

he ofc reads to you, i can see him pestering you with his stories

he is charming but xingqiu is still a lil shit

this man wont let you sleep, you cant fall asleep with him reading this long ass passage about.. a raven?

def big bro material, teasing you and ruffling your hair but you get the occasional head kiss if you can deal w him

Zhongli

he's a fricking god, he cant get sick

medicine has definitely changed over the centuries so he aint got a clue

like kazuha, he is better with emotional support like holding you and speaking soft words

but zhongli has many connections and will buy you anything to make you happy

flowers✔️ food✔️ stuffies✔️ jewlery✔️

anything.. i mean anything to the point where its scary

he's like a fricking cat where he will even give you a hilichurl mask if you request it

and he will tell you the whole stpry on how he encountered the hilichurl and the techniques he used to kill it

anyways, grandpa will try to use outdated and natural ways to heal you, which do work but if you prefer the more modern ways then he isnt opposed, he just wants you better

Thoma

the best man in this whole list to take care of you

he's a MAID

he's had to deal w the blueberry twins on their best ans definitely their worst days

this man is so capable that he can make you the best medicine AND make it taste good

he will reassure you that you arent dying every five minutes when you think that you are

his headpats along w a chuckle live in my head rent free

he will give you all the blankets and give you cool cloths to place on your pretty forehead

he will buy a joke book for you two to laugh

but once its been a week, our angel gets worried

is he doing enough? what can he do to take away your pain?

he will cry out of frustration while trying to make your soup

why is your soup salty?

you already know and give the golden retriever a pep talk

he cant give up now!!

he is determined to do all that he can to make you better, he will hold you and let you squeeze his hands if you need and injection

if your biggest fear is needles like me then dw he will definitely be the best to calm you down and distract you

"hey, hey look in my eyes. Youre doing so well, after this im gonna get you the biggest cake youve ever seen. Hm? yes, we can get your favorite. Uh? Sigh, yes you can buy a new teddy bear too. Youre gonna waste all my money my love, haha. Deep breaths.. oh! look at that! Its already done, Im so proud of you💕"

if i had this man, i would never need therapy

— live to tell the tail

summary. you unfortunately lived in a universe where general gorou had found out ms. hina was… himself. and just your luck: gorou’s first impression of you was a crazed devotee of the ms. hina fan club, but you had only been in the wrong place at the wrong time. will you live to tell the tail?

love interests. gn!reader x a watatsumi general, an inazuman vagrant, the balladeer, and the kreideprinz.

warnings. infinite pet puns, referenced character death, weapons, swearing, blood, alcohol, harassment, and mentions of war.

word count. 892

chapter twenty-two ⌇ are you shih tzuing me

꒰ 🗒 series m.list | prev. chapter | next chapter ꒱

yae miko was the bane of gorou’s existence…

…so he was a little irked to see you falling over yourself to admire her in front of netsuke no gen crafts.

“guuji yae, i never thought i would have the chance to meet you like this!” you bunched up your shoulders and entwined your fingers behind your back. gorou had only seen a crumb of this strange behavior whenever kazuha swung by, but now... it was in full force.

okay, gorou recognized that, as an editor, you would obviously be thrilled to shake hands with the editor-in-chief of inazuma’s publishing house, but this same editor-in-chief had subjected gorou to a legion of teasing, pet names, and schemes. if the multiverse existed, gorou doubted there was a universe in which he trusted yae miko because in every single one, she would have most definitely created ms. hina without his consent.

“what a cute disciple i have,” yae cooed, making the hair on the back of your neck stand up. “i actually have something i mean to discuss with you, reader, but there’s a more pressing matter i must tackle with your furry friend first.”

you slowly nodded. “oh… do you want me to leave and then come back?”

yae detected gorou squirming beside you. “...i think he would want you to stay,” she concurred, which only exacerbated your confusion.

“d-don’t waste reader’s time!” gorou yapped, getting more riled up than usual. every bone in his body was screaming for him to flee, but he didn’t want to show a cowardly side of him with you there. “what do you need to talk to them about?”

how strange. when did gorou and reader come to know each other? “well, if you insist. i’m certainly not short on time myself.” arms cradling her stomach, yae looked at you with a more solemn frame of mind. “reader, i assume you are out here because you saw a discrepancy between what you know and the report you received today.”

“yes…” you scratched your cheek. “...on the off chance, are you aware of what happened to the book that went missing?”

“...your author should be,” she returned, “but i suppose things were lost in communication. a year ago, mr. yamamoto had contacted an illustrator from abroad by letter to see if he’ll draw art for tickled pink.

“a copy of that book was sent along with the letter… but i have an inkling the illustrator couldn’t respond in time before the sakoku decree was put into effect.”

so this all happened before i arrived at inazuma, you confirmed, eyebrows springing upward. no wonder i was never told anything about this. “who’s the illustrator?”

a thoughtful pause later, yae answered, “hmm… you’ll chance upon him eventually, reader. the yae publishing house commissioned him for the irodori festival, so… we’ll see if he accommodates for mr. yamamoto’s commission as well.”

that response made your nose scrunch up. was it too much for yae to apprise you of this guy’s identity? especially if he was so reputable to the point that the publishing house called for his artistic expertise… you racked your brain for names hotaru dropped in the past, but, to your understanding, none of them were illustrators.

gorou studied your dismay, his tail swishing speedily behind him. this formed a disquieting smile on the kitsune's face.

“hehe… reader, care to see what sort of face gorou is making?”

“pardon?”

with a gentle finger under your chin, yae redirected your attention to gorou’s cheeks that had blossomed into a rosy color once he realized this was another one of yae’s ploys.

“what… about his face…?” your voice grew faint.

it was that feeling again. caterpillars breaking out of their chrysalises in your stomach. nerves being set on fire. an acrobat performing a ropewalk.

and yae was getting a real kick out of watching you two act like students about to confess their crushes on each other behind the school building. it was time for her to play as the angel "cupid" (in her own devilish way). “fascinating. never would i have predicted for someone other than the traveler to get under your armor, dear gorou.”

“under my armor!?” gorou screeched.

yae lazily lolled her head toward him. “not literally, but i know you, general. you keep words lodged in your throat while letting other people vent to their heart’s content, but it’s a different story around the traveler, is it not?”

gorou rubbed a distressed hand over his face to suppress the urge to cry before wildly gesturing in your direction. “reader, don’t be fooled by her cunning words! there's nothing going on between the traveler and me!”

your eyes widened by the slightest bit. right, the traveler. why aren’t they the one in my shoes right now?

“um… oh,” you uttered absentmindedly.

yae and gorou stared at you.

…oh?

…

…could you not care less about gorou and the traveler being an item?

yae pursed her lips, feeling a bit sorry.

and gorou willingly chose to speak with yae—his most formidable foe—to escape this painfully awkward conundrum. “s-so what was it that you had to tell me, yae miko?”

“...oh, yes. the publishing house declined in sales since the disappearance of its foremost columnist, so i need you dressed up as our precious ms. hina for a magazine signing event.”

⭒ gorou/reader: to protect ⭒

request for @snarkelf: NEW CHARACTERS NEW CHARACTERS!!! 👀👀👀 The Gorou brainrot is REAL and I can't get his little growl out of my head. That said, can we get some good ol' hurt/comfort where reader gets caught off guard in a fight and gets hurt and/or stunned and Gorou swoops in to protect and comfort them

BESTIEE hi this is from last summer but it is finally done <3 lawl i hope u enjoy <33

⭒

pairing: gorou/gn!reader (no pronouns used for reader)

characters: gorou, unnamed shogunate soldiers; kokomi is mentioned Once

genre: hurt/comfort

word count: 1387

warnings: reader uses a melee weapon, depictions of violence, descriptions of injury and blood

⭒

You didn’t join the Watatsumi Army for the thrill of battle, as some may claim. You’re not hungry for conflict, you’ve never been one to actively seek out a fight. There was a call for help, and you answered. Divine Priestess Kokomi and General Gorou had sent out their plea one night, and by the next morning you had submitted your application. The Resistance needed troops, and you were more than willing to volunteer.

There’s no glory in fighting, in watching a war unfold around you. You can’t recall how many times you’ve gone to bed hungry or cold as supply lines are cut off and delayed, can’t count how many of your comrades you’ve seen injured. The Shogun’s Army shows no mercy, taking peoples’ Visions, their ambitions, and their lives without hesitation.

No, you wouldn’t say seeing the nation you so dearly love turn against itself is “thrilling.”

And yet, here you are… a willing sacrifice, if it means returning peace to Inazuma.

“We’ll give you one more chance to surrender, General.” The Shogunate soldier practically spits the last word, raising his polearm.

It was only hours ago that you had been lounging around the Resistance’s camp at Fort Fujitou, recovering from a previous mission—or, at least, trying to—when General Gorou barrelled in, ordering all available soldiers to prepare for battle; a group of Shogunate soldiers stationed along Nazuchi Beach had been getting bolder lately, venturing a little too close to the Resistance members similarly stationed in the area. The growing tension had come to a head last night, when the Shogunate had ambushed the Resistance group, stealing food, medical supplies, and weapons—and leaving the Resistance soldiers with more than a few cuts and bruises.

As soon as Gorou called, you threw your armor on and went to fetch your weapon.

“We would never surrender to the likes of you.” Without breaking your defensive stance, you spare a glance at the General; his ears are folded flat against his head, tail low and bushed. Gorou’s stance is similar to yours—rigid, prepared to pounce. He has his bow pointed at the ground, but it’s drawn, ready to fire.

Your eyes flick back to the Shogunate soldiers—thankfully, your numbers appear to be equal, a luxury the Resistance doesn’t often have—as they laugh, their leader swinging his spear toward Gorou. “Don’t say we didn’t try to resolve this peacefully.”

He grins, wild and wide-eyed; that’s all the warning you get before the Shogunate soldiers rush you.

You’re familiar with battles, now, the sights, sounds, even the smells. There’s bodies everywhere, always moving, accompanied by blinding flashes of metal in the sunlight. Arrows sing as they cut through the air, and the sharp clang of weapons striking one another is almost deafening. The scent of sweat hangs heavy in the air, and you know it will soon be joined by the smell of blood, when the pale sand beneath your feet begins to stain red.

You kick a soldier to the ground, whirling around to block a blow from another. Bracing your arm against your weapon, you shove, sending the second Shogunate member stumbling backward. Your heart is pounding as you advance, swinging at your opponent again and again, his parries growing sloppier each time. Show no mercy, show no mercy. The Shogunate won’t, so why should you?

There’s a commotion behind you, but you don’t dare turn to look. Your weapon collides with the Shogunate soldier’s shoulder; he drops his polearm with a cry of surprise, panic striking across his visage when you raise your weapon above your head, jaw clenching.

A yell of your name cuts through the roaring of your pulse in your ears. You freeze, arms still raised, as something behind you whistles.

By the time you recognize the shrill sound as a swinging weapon, it’s too late.

Your side explodes in pain.

You don’t get time to react—barely registering the blood now soaking your torn shirt—before the blunt end of the weapon slams into the back of your skull, sending you to the ground. Your weapon drops to the sand with you, one shaking arm keeping you propped up while your other hand presses to the fresh wound on your side in a pathetic attempt to slow the bleeding.

Red and black is all you see, between all the blood—there’s so much blood, drenching your shirt and slipping through your fingers, warm and wet—and the darkness dancing across your vision. There’s a ringing in your ears, now, as you brace yourself for the finishing blow.

You only hope your sacrifice means something, in the end.

But the blow never comes. You hear rapid footsteps in the sand, a growl that morphs into a viscous snarl. The sound of a snapping bowstring, another shout of your name, and then a crash as the soldier towering over you disappears. You think you spot a familiar flash of brown in the struggle somewhere beside you—it’s hard to tell when you’re fighting unconsciousness.

You’re not sure how long you lay there, shaking and listening to the muted sounds of combat until the battlefield falls quiet. You don’t know who won.

You flinch at the feeling of hands on your shoulders—the sudden movement only amplifies the pain, and you have to bite your tongue to stop yourself from crying out—coaxing you to roll onto your back. Gorou’s face, fraught with worry, greets you. Though, he’s little more than a blur of brown and white as your vision fails to cooperate.

He says something, but you can’t hear him for some reason. You jolt again as his hand finds yours, pressing harder over your side. He’s shouting, you’re sure, but it’s so… quiet.

Your eyelids are heavy. You’ve fought hard, you don’t think anyone will complain if you rest a little.

Gorou’s hand is warm atop your own.

⭒

It takes you a moment to realize you’re alive when you finally stir.

Your eyes blink open to an unfamiliar tent; your entire body aches. You breathe slow, counting the seconds in and out as you will the pain to go down. It does, minisculely, and you shakily push yourself to sit upward. Someone had dressed your wounds while you were unconscious, the bitter smell of medicinal herbs strong even beneath your bandages. You’d been changed into a new shirt, too, something soft and a little too big on you.

The tent flap pulls back, your head pounding at the sudden burst of light. Your nose wrinkles as you bring a hand to shield your eyes, only to immediately drop it back to your lap as General Gorou enters the little tent.

His teal eyes widen and his ears perk up when he sees you. “You’re awake,” he says, shock lacing his tone.

You nod. “You… saved me.” It’s less a question and more a statement, your voice rough and trembling. Gorou blinks down at you.

“Of course, it’s my responsibility to protect the Resistance’s members.”

You snort, shooting him a weak smile. “Right.” Of course. He’s the war general, this is his job.

Of course.

Gorou hesitates, glancing around before sinking to the ground, sitting across from you. He’s quiet when he speaks again. “How are you feeling?” He asks, gaze roving over your figure. You shrug.

“Hurt,” you state, simply. His brow furrows, and this time you can clearly see the worry on his face. “But it’s nothing I won’t heal from,” you reassure the General. He lets out a sigh of relief, tail thumping against the ground once.

“Good,” he hums. “That’s good.” You nod again, swallowing as silence descends over you two. Your mouth opens and closes, and Gorou glances over his shoulder. “I, uh—” He clears his throat. “I need to go check on the others.” You feel a little stupid for just staring as he rises to his feet, dipping his head toward you before he turns on his heel.

You find your voice as he reaches for the tent flap. “Ah, Gorou—” His tail raises, wagging a little as you call his name. His head turns, waiting for you to continue.

“Thank you.”

You manage a larger smile this time, one he reflects back at you. “Of course.”

Gorou slips out, gone.

As you listen to his receding footfalls, you realize you feel a little better.

[ SHIPS THAT YOU... ]

I saw this and I wanted to do it- there's too much rarepairs and I absolutely love them. ( it's obvious that I'm a rarepair shipper when it comes to games like this :'3 )

One day when I have enough time, I'm totally gonna do headcanons, story's, showing off ship art ( that I've made ) and etc. Of my favorite ships- it's mainly gonna be full of rarepairs I like, but who cares it's something fun to do!

CLEAN TEMPLATE! ↓

Excuse me, I saw that your requests were open and I was wondering if you could do a fluff for a reader with Gorou? Where Y/n comes out to Gorou as Gender Fluid and he comforts them because their family didn't accept them for being the way they are? Thank you so much!

safe here with me

pairing: gorou x (genderfluid) reader

tags: angst, comfort, confession, teyvat metro au

profound language

author’s note: this one hits close to home danny brroooo. sorry it was so late.

the whole concept is hard to explain in itself—classifying as both male and female. yes, every time that you’ve attempted to explain it to your relatives, their responses merely and constantly consist of:

“you don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“you are the gender that you’re born as—stop making shit up.”

“are you fucking serious? come to your senses, those (girls/boys) are a bad influence on you.”

it’s too hard to say that it’s exhausting—because at this point—it’s closer to draining than tiring. every time you hear it, you’ve given up your strenuous explanation in attempts to try and get classmates and parents to understand. your friends, if you have any, have trouble understanding the true cause of… everything that goes on with you.

every step you take, you feel like eyes are on you. maybe you haven’t admitted your genderfluidity, but every gaze that lands on you definitely feels as though you’re being judged. you think

well, who could actually appreciate the presence of me? someone like me isn’t that great.

and you walk down the halls, slinging your bag over your shoulders as you proceed to prolong your peruse down the semi-empty school hallways. school’s out—damn, thank the archons above that you don’t have to endure the piercing gazes for a couple of days.

but gorou, who walks with some underclassmen that he is helping, hastily dismissing them—wagging his tail as he closes his eyes, savoring the feeling of being finished with his final orientation tour for the incoming freshmen.

as he turns, he bumps into you—watching how your sullen fast switches rapidly to a smile.

but gorou watches how your smile still droops at the ends—observing how sad you still look without saying anything.

“oh, well good evening (y/n)! what are you still doing in school?”

avoiding my family—why, what have you been up to?

“attending to some student council work—that’s all,” you lie through your teeth so blatantly. “i was going through to clean the classroom once again as well.”

and gorou adjusts his papers, looking at you, where your expression try to tell him that you’re smiling like usual. he knows you’re lying. he sees it kokomi when it’s just the two of them sometimes—and it hurts him even more when he sees you. but… he chooses not to pry into such a manner. at least, not yet.

“well, now that you’re here, would you like to go out for ice cream? just… you and me—if that’s alright?”

what a strange concept of things. why you? he was hanging out with that nice girl the other day, and…

“you can… stay at my place for the night too. of course—only if you’re comfortable! there’s a spare room that you can use…” and gorou tries to greet your gloomy eyes with a smile. “i can make dinner, and you can talk about what’s been bothering you. i know that when i was in police training camp; i couldn’t talk with anyone.”

all you could feel was… bitterly warm. you don’t remember the last time you ate a meal with someone you loved. your eyes felt cloudy, and then your cheeks felt wet and warm as a couple of tears rolled down your cheeks. gorou set down his clipboard and wrapped you up in a biiiiiig hug.

“i’m with you. there’s nobody else here, it’s just me. it’s okay… you’re safe here with me.”
