Oooooo, I gotta admit wouldn't be my place of choice I'm not the biggest fan of heights >///< but I can't wait to write it for you! I hope you enjoy and you like the characters I picked~
─⊰⁠⊹ฺ🎃𝔾𝕖𝕟𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕟 ℍ𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕔𝕒𝕟𝕠𝕟𝕤⊰⁠⊹ฺ🎃
{༻~Circus fun~༺}
CW: NSFW! MDNI! Modern AU! Heated make outs, semi public, f!reader, blowjobs, handjobs, hair pulling, fingering, riding, grinding, and just overall a fun time on the Ferris wheel (Pet names: Lyney: Mon amour, my love, Heizou: Good girl, Wanderer: Kitten)
(Includes: Lyney, Xiao, Heizou, and Wanderer!)
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
𑁍༄Lyney:
Lyney groaned quietly into your ear, his warm breath caressing the shell of it while he held you tightly, the cart you were in swaying with every grind of your clothed heat against his bulge. This was incredibly risky, you didn't have alot of time before the ride was over and anyone could see you from the top of it, but you'd somehow gotten the ferris wheel all to yourselves and you both had been so flirty all day...
"L-lyney~" You moaned into the crook of his neck, his fingers slipping past the waste band of your pants and down into your undies, where you were more than just a little wet for him, "Mmmm mon amour, so turned on for me aren't you~" His voice was coated with lust, sending a shiver down your spine as you attempted to answer him, "Y-yes, please h-hurry~"
He chuckled, sinking his fingers into your entrance and starting off faster than he normally would, spreading his digits inside of you with ever pump of his hand, letting you fuck yourself on his fingers while staring up at you with glazed over eyes, "Y-you're so beautiful mon amour~" You gasped loudly, trying so hard to keep yourself quiet as your walls clenched around him, "Mnngh, hhh-hh~"
"You're going to have to f-finish for me soon my love~" You heard him, but you couldn't dare respond, your thoughts solely focused on chasing your release. He sunk his digits deeper into your wet cunt and you almost screamed out loud when they hit the most perfect spot, body shaking as you came.
You didn't even notice the ride had ended, you were entirely focused on how he licked up your wetness from his fingers with a smirk and that all to knowing gleam in his eyes. He definitely wasn't done yet...
𑁍༄Xiao:
As soon as the cart stopped at the top of the ferris wheel Xiaos lips crashed into yours, hands hurrying to pull you into his lap...he didn't know why but he was so impatient, your body was calling to him and the idea of only having a short time was more than appealing. His tongue slipped into your mouth, fighting yours for dominance as he groaned in delight and silently swore to himself he'd do this more often.
You on the other hand could barely keep up, the tent in his pants that was right between your legs...making you feel hot all over and lack of air from his never ending kiss making your heart race with excitement. You pulled away to catch a breath, but he was quick to go to your neck instead biting down are your skin and leaving delicious marks like he did to show others you were his.
"X-xiao~" You whispered his name in between soft gasps and he couldn't contains himself, his tent rubbing against your clothed heat as wetness seeped through your thin clothes onto his pants, "God you know I love it w-when you say my name~"
"M-make it say it louder~"
𑁍༄Heizou:
Heizou chuckled softly, watching you maneuver yourself between his legs despite the restrictions of the tiny cart, honestly he couldn't believe you'd offered to do this at all, given the fact it was in public and very time sensitive...but he was more than grateful, after all he'd been thinking of your pretty little mouth on him all day~
"Remember darling, you gotta be fast with this. Don't want anyone finding out what we are up to now do we~" He kissed the top of your head, seeing the delightful blush creep onto your cheeks as you nodded, shaking hands undoing his pants zipper and carefully releasing his dick from its prison. You looked up at him as you kissed the tip, letting your tongue graze it slowly while he moaned rather loudly, you almost told him to stay quiet...but you were so high up, perhaps no one could hear anyways.
You took him into your hot mouth, sucking as hard as you could while your hand pleased the rest of his length, you could taste his precum on your tongue and hear his struggled groans ringing in your ears. You loved pleasing him, especially when his hands found their way into your hair, pushing his cock farther into your mouth until it was hitting the back of your throat.
You hummed happily, the vibrations alone making him quietly curse in ectasy, "That's my g-good girl, keep going, j-just- like that, mmm~"
𑁍༄Wanderer:
Wanderer groaned deeply into the crook of your neck, his fingernails digging into your hips as he thrusted up into your wet pussy that clenched around him so perfectly, he couldn't care less if someone caught what you were up to, all he wanted right now was to see you lust drunk face and your cum around his cock. "M-mmnh, look at you kitten, so desperate that you begged to do this h-here of all places, how dirty~"
You moaned loudly, eyes opening for a split to scan the ground below and make sure no one had heard, but Wanderer had other plans, his length roughly bucking into you so hard the stars in the sky above you disappeared, head thrown back as waves of pleasure washed over you. "Pay attention to m-me kitten, I don't give a fuck who sees us~"
You couldn't catch your breath to respond, air knocked out of you as you came around him, your walls tightening around his dick so perfectly that as he road out your high he came too, filling you as the ride started back up again. "W-way to c-c-close."
"So much f-fun though kitten.."

could you do anemo boys hcs for your bday?
Tumblr media
A/N: since there's five of them, i made each a bit short :( sorry, i hope that's ok! trying out formatting too hehe >:)
Characters: Heizou, Kazuha, Scara, Venti, Xiao
Warnings: None!
Heizou
In his birthday voiceline to the traveler, he mentions wanting to take them to some sort of locked room!
So I think he'd take you two to an escape room (do they have those in teyvat?...)
If you can solve the puzzles, he'd secretly find that really attractive.
Who am I kidding, "secretly"? He'd tell you about how cool you were the entire way home.
If you can't, he tries to drop subtle hints, enough to set you in the right direction but not enough to make you feel like you weren't doing anything.
When you finally got it he would be so proud!!!
He'd probably tease you for taking so long, tho
If you tell him to stop he will, but if you find it funny too, he won't stop with it until... well.... who knows, honestly.
He just wants the two of you to have fun :)))
Kazuha
ugh literally SO SWEET
DIABETES MATERIAL
Probably brings you breakfast, and does whatever tasks you have on the Alcor so you can sleep in longer!
Wakes you with a super sweet poem :)
His gift, honestly, is probably an entire notebook of poems written just for you!
When the Alcor gets docked and you guys get to go on land, he takes you to a bakery - in his voiceline with the traveler, he mentions wanting to get them cake for their birthday.
Makes you his specialty dish at the end of the day and you fall asleep together <3
Scaramouche/Wanderer
I know I keep mentioning their birthday voicelines but Scara's is literally so cute!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6fxFXU7w64&ab_channel=Michi <---This is it
So like in his voiceline he takes you somewhere pretty. Maybe he doesn't exactly know how to act or what to do on your birthday but if 500 years of existence doesn't give a puppet a catalogue of the most beautiful places in Teyvat I don't know what will.
Let's just say he takes you to Mawtimiya Forest!
Since it's in Sumeru he'd try to avoid Nahida, purely because he thought she'd embarrass him in typical older-sister/mother figure fashion.
She'd find you two anyways... she's the Goddess of Wisdom, after all!
Nahida would share some embarrassing stories of his hopeless pining while you three had a picnic on top of one of those weird blue mushroom thingies.
Eventually she'd leave you two to it, and you just decided to camp on said weird blue mushroom thingie and fall asleep under the stars!
Venti
Brings you to the Angel's Share!
Prepare for a nonstop onslaught of embarrassingly sappy ballads, especially when he gets drunk, lmao.
It's cute though, and most people come over at some point to wish you a happy birthday, whether you know them or not :p
If you somehow feed him enough food and water to get him back to a semi-sober state, at night, he'll take you up to the hands of the statue of him in front of the cathedral.
He'd somehow get EVEN SAPPIER, and now that he's regained some of his faculties, he's very poetic.
Idc HOW good you are at keeping your emotions hidden, he WILL make you blush at some point.
You two talk up there until you fall asleep and then he flies you back over to your house, leaving some dandelions in an empty vase in your room.
Xiao
Kind of like Scara, he takes you out to nature, but instead of there being a specific destination, the two of you just kinda go for a walk.
He's freaking out the entire time, because he's worried you're going to get hurt by his karmic debt.
In fact, you probably had to ask him to go on a walk with you, and he agreed only after he had cleared out the entire forest of hilichurls.
Catches some crystalflies for you, makes you some food using fresh ingredients, is overall really sweet (as much as he can be)… but you can tell that he's hiding something.
Eventually (guess what... I'm referencing the birthday lines again...) you ask him what's up and he finally shows you.
He made an adepti amulet to protect you, but was embarrassed to give it to you!
He tries to run away after that, so if you make him stay, you two can go into Liyue Harbor and get some food (something he hardly ever does, so you're special!)
Honestly, you keep him sane, so he's happy that he could give you at least one good day.
And that's it! Tysm for requesting! Future note tho I probably won't be doing requests with more than three or four characters, just so that I can make sure the writing is okay!

PRECIOUS THINGS - Kazuha, Itto, Heizou, Kokomi & reader
i. SUMMARY: What kind of things would they give as a gift? ii. CONTENT WARNINGS: None! iii. NOTES: Can be read as platonic or romantic, fluff, gn!reader, 0.7k words. iv. A/N: it's actually my birthday soon! this was a little early present for myself hehe. i hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
KAZUHA
Kazuha doesn’t care much for material things. He’s a vagrant, there’s no room for too many unnecessary belongings when one is travelling with the wind. Sentimentality only slows him down.
Because of that, he keeps his gifts limited to something intangible. He’ll take you out for the day, show you the most peaceful places of Inazuma and bring you down to the beach to watch the sunset.  
As the sun dips low in the sky, he'll let you rest your head against his shoulder or in his lap if you're tired. But make sure you don’t fall asleep too quickly, or you’ll miss the beautiful view.
If Beidou allows it, you might even be treated to a stay on the Alcor, where Kazuha will help you up into the crow’s nest so you can observe the sea from the sky.
Perhaps the most precious thing he gives you is a haiku, written just for you. He’ll recite it while you’re relaxing on the ship, spinning words as elegantly as the waves flowing below you.
“Did you enjoy it? Well, perhaps we’ll have to spend some more time together when the winds lead us to each other again.”
ITTO
Ah, Itto.
Itto is the king of making your birthday a big deal.
The Arataki Gang will make sure to wake you up at the crack of dawn to start the celebrations early. First comes a homemade (and… debatably edible) cake, followed by an off-key singing of Happy Birthday with some beatboxing from Itto to accompany the song.
Then, once Itto has shooed the rest of the gang away to ‘let you have some peace and quiet’ he’ll present you with the gifts he’s picked out.
It’s all things he is interested in—onikabutos, trading cards. There’s nothing Itto loves more than sharing the things he’s fond of with the people he’s fond of, so he worked hard to find the finest of those things. You deserve the best, so that’s exactly what he’ll give you.
“Heh, good birthday, huh? Well of course it is, I couldn’t just leave my favourite honorary gang member without a proper celebration, could I?”
HEIZOU
Heizou! Heizou loves to share his interests with you, one of which being riddles and brainteasers.
On your birthday, he’ll present you with a locked box, covered in various puzzles. Once solved, the inside reveals a riddle that leads to a mysterious location tucked away in one of the chilly corners of Inazuma.
He’ll be waiting for you there, sitting cross-legged on the corner of a picnic blanket. Draped across is an arrangement of foods, a mix of both your favourites. Fried radish balls, Sakura tempura, and Taiyaki are some of his selections, but there is of course a variety of food picked out for you too.
Heizou has a gift as well, something that is exactly what you wanted. You never needed to tell him what it was—as Inazuma’s finest detective, he already figured it out.
“So, partner? Would you say your birthday lived up to your expectations?
KOKOMI
Kokomi wants your present to be perfect. You’re special to her, and special people deserve the best gifts.
Giving gifts is one of her favourite ways to show the people in her life that she loves them, so it must be something personal and related to you specifically; she doesn’t allow for half-thought out presents!
If you’re a fan of books, she’ll gift you a copy of The Legend of The Sword—her favourite book—and shyly ask for your opinion on it.
She will also make time in her schedule to spend time together, which is a gift in itself. She puts her work over everything, so for something else to become a priority is a rare sight.
During the day she’ll take you everywhere: across the scenic beaches of Watatsumi, diving in the depths of the ocean, before finally retreating back to her home to give you a homemade cake. The entire day is planned out (as expected of a grand strategist) and rest assured, she’ll make sure not a moment is wasted.
“So, did you have a good day? I hope so—happy birthday, (Name)!”

Hi!
May I request a Heizou x (gn/amab) reader smut where heizou had a remote vibrator in his hole ever since reader put it in there in a public bathroom stall (with some playful resistance on his side), occasionally setting the level higher and he’s just trying so hard not to be too loud, clinging onto them and holding their hand tighter, for his legs are shaky. once they’re home reader finger fucks him and cuffs his hands to make sure he doesn’t touch himself, playing with his chest while he just begs to be fucked properly and he just wants to come after being edged for what felt like an eternity! And when he asks what he has done to deserve such punishment, reader simply replies that they do this because he’s just incredibly beautiful, super adorable to them when he’s such a mess, uncuffing him just to put his hand against their heart to feel it pounding lively in their chest, showing him just how much they love him before giving him what he wants and deserves. Thank you if you find the time to do this! I hope this doesn’t make you uncomfortable <3
Public sex + Edging + Teasing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You had this planned since the night before, convincing Heizou to go out with you.
Unbeknownst to him, you had a small remote-controlled vibrator and lube tucked away in your pocket.
You innocently asked him if he could help you with something and led him into a public restroom.
He was confused but only questioned it once you pushed him into a stall.
"Wait, what are you doing?"
"Just trust me, it's going to be a lot of fun."
You pulled the bright pink vibrator out of your pocket. It had a flared base, along with a small curved shaft. What it lacked in size made up for in power.
He looked at you with a shocked expression as you started unbuckling his pants.
"We can't do this!" Heizou grabbed your arm as you started tugging his pants down in the tight space of the stall.
"Oh come now, love; I know you will like it."
With his hesitation, you stopped what you were doing. Of course, if he truly didn't want to do it, you would never pressure him, but you could see by his eyes that he was curious about it.
His eyes fluttered between you and the toy in your hand before he slowly nodded. He had such a deep blush on his cheeks as he turned around, pulling his pants and underwear the rest of the way down.
You pulled out the bottle of lube, generously coating the toy. Then, you guided him to lean over the toilet, sticking his ass out for you. You took your time teasing his hole with the toy, just barely pushing against it, making sure he was good and wet before you pushed it in.
Heizou was already softly whining at the feeling, the way the toy curved inside his ass felt terrific. You set the toy on low, and you could see how his body tensed up as soon as you did.
You helped him get dressed and led him out of the bathroom hand in hand. Your other hand remained in your pocket, always resting on the toy.
You would lure him into a false sense of security before turning up the vibrations, teasing him the entire time you did it.
"All these people have no idea how much of a slut you are."
"You're doing so good for me."
Anytime it looked like he was about to break down or collapse because of his shaking legs, you would turn down the vibrations, edging him repeatedly.
By the time the two of you got home, Heizou was almost in tears from all the teasing, but it wasn't over yet.
You lured him to your shared room, helping him undress before you laid him down on your bed.
He was already at your mercy, and he would do anything you asked if it meant you would fuck him. So he didn't question it when you cuffed him to the bed. Except, you didn't give him what he wanted yet.
You slid the toy out of his ass, replacing it with your slender fingers. You teased his hole before slipping them in, pumping them in and out as you curled them inside.
You took your time teasing him, sucking on his nipples, running your free hand along his body. He had tears running down his cheeks as he begged for you to fuck him already.
"I've been so good today; why are you punishing me?"
"Oh baby, I love seeing you like this… those tear-stained cheeks, the way you moan and whine when you have been edged for so long. I just can't help myself with someone as adorable as you."
You finally uncuffed Heizou from the bed, gently grabbing his wrist and placing it on his chest. He could feel your wildly beating heart just from that.
"Look what you do to me. I just… Love you so much, Heizou."
After your confession, you were back on top of him, the two of you making out before you properly fucked him.
It wasn't long before you had him screaming for you.

Did I get a little carried away? Yes... Am I ashamed? No. I hope you enjoy <3

How they'd spend old years eve with you
Modern AU!
Characters: Cyno, Heizou, Itto, Kazuha, Razor, Zhongli
CW: A lil nsfw at Heizou, didnt proofread!
A/N: Happy new year guys (well, in 11 minutes..) I hope y'all had a great year and I hope I could've made a lot of you better with my headcanons and fanfics. It's been a rough year for me too, but I still found a way to turn my battles into creativity. Stay safe :)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Masterlist
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Cyno
You've been looking forward to spending this special day with Cyno..!
Throughout the year he been be all serious about business, never really having time to relax.. But now that it was old years eve, he could finally let out a sigh and relax on the couch.
It was his idea to start the night with a game of TCG, which you had started on.. But still, you weren't as good as him..
Playing cards for almost half an hour, since you were that desperate to win, you didn't realize it was already around 5 pm..
"Oh! We should prepare a meal for ourselves.." You mentioned.. Looking at the cards in your hands, you were so close to winning.. You actually wanted to continue the game.
Since you both weren't in the mood to invite anyone, you had the house all to your own... So, while you played another card, you two conversed about whatever you were going to cook.
 Finally bringing down one of his character cards, you had a mighty fine idea of dinner.. Well, he just mentioned a nice rice dish would've been okay with him, but of course.. You had to go extraordinary since it was old years eve..!
So, inspired you dropped your hand if cards, notifying Cyno you'd start cooking so you could be done by 6 pm.. He observed your cards, letting you know you could've won if you continued playing..
Cooking together with Cyno is a must... He can cook like a God. After you had explained your entire cooking plan, he proceeded to do his part with such precision.. You were almost afraid his vegetables would taste thousand times better-.. Like, come on.. Your prepared meat had to match the flavor..
As expected! The dish was AMAZING. Watching  game shows on TV while enjoying your meal together in peace was all you could've wished for!
He brought up a few jokes, but they were so bad.. Jeez..
After dinner you cleaned up and decided to lay on the couch, your head resting on his chest and continued to watch TV till it was almost time for the countdown..
Without any words he gazed at you, seeing the sparkle in your eye was way better than any firework.. But still...
"You want to watch outside?" The excitement was ginormous as you sat up straight, but not before you exchanged an I love you.
Looking out of the window, being comforted by each other's warmth, you shared your new years resolutions.. Staying with him till death separated you. Well, how cheesy, as a thousand sparks appeared in the sky, he told you he thought about the exact same thing.
Within a second it seemed like the night had suddenly turned into day, the amount of fireworks that were sent flying into the sky.. 00:00..
You wished each other a happy new year, smooching each other and smiling.. It wasnt that much, but the thought behind it meant a lot more to you two
Heizou (A little nsfw-)
You two have been together for 3 years now, and every year you insisted on sitting with him, some good tunes blasting from the radio and some snacks on the table while you crack cases with him..
The first time you decided you wanted to do this on old years eve, he had been very confused.. Though, he didn't see the problem with it..
Now, you've become a reliable helper, even if it was one day a year.. It was fun too? You saw it as a kind of game, gluing all the clues together, marking important words who nobody noticed, laying connections..!
"Now, (Y/n)  do you see all these patterns? I think we've come closer to sewing all these parts together..?" Heizou shoved a file towards you, your eyes scanning the sentences quickly as you underlined another detail which seemed important.
The excitement in your doing and eyes always hyped him up, happy that someone close to him shared his passion in some way..
"Here! You can figure it out better this way." You smiled at him, handing back the paper as you took a sip of water. You had to stay sober so you could crack cases-
"Mhmm... Oh gee? I overlooked that.. How come?" His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, indexfinger and thumb caressing his chin as his eyes observed the paper.
"We got a culprit!" He eventually notified, his smug grin appearing again. You cheered happily, already standing up to get the champagne because.. You had to celebrate of course.
"Hey? (Y/n), are you spicing it up with Heizou or something!?" You looked at the person down the stairs.. Right, you had guests over. You forgot.
"Not really, we were working on a case, but we're done now.." You ran down the stairs, standing next to Itto.. Who invited him again- Well whatever.
"So, that's cleared now?" Kazuha smiled, appearing next to Itto. You nodded and gazed at the clock..  You were busy for two hours..! No wonder they got suspicious.. Well, you had half an hour left until it was 12 o'clock.
"It is, thanks to my amazing s/o, I cleared another hard case." Heizou's arm snaked around your waist, pressing a soft kiss on your cheek. "I also hope you're not done with the 2nd bottle of champagne." He added, walking past them with your hand in his, his thumb sensually caressing your hand.
"No worries, Kuki and me kept them under controll." Seeing Gorou laying on the couch, Kuki watching TV and Scaramouche.. Whatever doing on the floor, you squinted..
".. So laid back.." You whispered, Heizou grinned and pushed the neck of the bottle in your hands.
"Lets pop it open outside.. Just shake it a little.. Move up and down with your hands you know.." The way he stared in your eyes nearly made you pass out, the fact you could feel his breath tickle your lips too..-
"Bro's! They're gonna pop open another one! Cmon we gotta see this.." Itto waved with his hands, taking Scaramouche's hat in his hands for absolutely no reason, waiting for the three of them to come along.
"Ugh.  Give that back.." Scaramouche groaned, slowly awakening from his slumber. Gorou finally opened his eyes too.. Rubbing his own forehead and blinked a few times as Kuki already stood on both her feet.
Heizou and you seemed too indulged (?!?!) With each other as the rest followed to the garden, it seemed like they were pretty much all drunk.. Even Kuki who was pushing so hard to walk straight, they all tripped over their feet in some way.
"Whatcha say.. This one's for us, we run to the bedroom, lock the door and end this year with a really good bang?" Heizou whispered in your ear, your cheeks flamed slightly, your undeniable smile visible for him.
They all chanted, waiting for you to shake the bottle and make the champagne pour out.. Your hands tightened around the neck, staring at Heizou as you shook it around.
"..." He carefully looked at your hands, the grin on his face returned.. The bottle shot open as the champagne poured out. The crowd went absolutely wild..! Praise the almighty (Y/n) for popping a motherfucking bottle..-
Anyways, Heizou quickly took the bottle out of your hands to take a few gluttonous sips. Surprised you stood there, what the hell were you supposed to do wi-
He grasped your jaw, pulled you closer and kissed you, pouring the liquid in your mouth. Eyes wide open you drank, at this rate every body screamed out of excitement.. This was why you could determine they were drunk- You would never hear them shout like this.. Except for Itto..
They were absolutely howling, Heizou somehow distracting them in a way you could sneak past them all, back into the house
"You're gonna see something else exploding tonight.. I'll give you a happy new year in advance.." He smoothly notified, you chuckled as you pulled him with you up the stairs.
Itto
So, in advance, you knew he was the king of stupid ideas.. And it has been a tradition that you would light fireworks with the gang and you, being the S/O of the boss.
As always, Itto was way too excited to wait till it was old years eve. So, about one and a half days before it was legally allowed to be shooting fireworks, he was already looking through all the fireworks he was going to shoot off that day
You were just observing with arms crossed, sighing deeply as he rattled on about all the cool plans he had. You shook your head in disagreement, but kept your words to yourself.
"Hey hey! C'mon c'mon… (Y/n), please.. This one's so cool! You've gotta look at this, I'm surprised we still got these from past year? Thought we used it alllll up.." He held the funmakers in his hands, you blinked a few times.
"Nuh uh Itto. We're not doing it.. It's a day or some till new year's, can't you wait a little bit..?" You noticed how his smile turned into a slight frown, his cheek rounding up as he gave you puppy eyes.
"Pretty pleaaase.. Just one…!" He begged, you closed your eyes and hummed softly. "Okay. Just one."
He cheered, rushing outside already without a single hesitation. You slowly followed him, seeing he was already outside crouching and setting up everything.
His hands searched around on his body, trying to find something. He stood up and sighed deeply.
"Baby." Itto turned around, his eyes sparkling. "You forgot this." You threw the lighter at him, he caught it and gave you a close eyed smile.
"Thank you!" You chuckled, leaning against the doorframe.
"(Y/n), you know you're out in the open.. Is that really that handy.." Startled you looked over to the side, seeing Kuki walking over to you together with the rest of the squad. You hid your face in the scarf you were wearing.
"… Ah, well.. Itto just took a full sprint towards the front door.. Didn't even have time to stop him or anything. What's the chance of him getting caught.. Right.." Your sentence ended with a tone of doubt, realizing it was Itto.. He would get caught so easily.
"Itto, might wanna get to the back.. Don’t you?" You nudged over to your house, he backed off from the firework, holding his arm in front of you as he fixed his hair with his other free hand.
"Nah! We should be fine, cops ain't got nothing on me..!-" He got interrupted by a load bang, you flinched slightly as the rocked soared up through the sky. Your eyes followed it, the bang making Itto roar loudly in excitement.
"LET'S GOOO!" He raised his fists up in the air, nearly hitting one of his gang members.
"Boss! What're we doing today?" They chanted, you gazed at Kuki and whispered you probably had to make some preparations for old year's eve. She nodded and walked back inside with you.. You two decided to prepare some food and drinks, since they would be staying over tonight
"Are you looking forward to new year's, (Y/n)?" You sighed deeply, looking over to her with a tired look on your face. "Kinda worried.. It involves Itto. Simply that.." You responded, staring at the glasses Kuki placed on top of the kitchen counter. "Hmm, I understand. He can get himself into trouble quite frequently and he's really reckless." Kuki quickly wrapped an arm around you and pulled you closer to her, you sighed deeply and leaned in for a few seconds.. Backing off again soon, since you had a lot to prepare for the night!
You couldn't really stop him from drinking anything, he was going wild-
He also made you sit on his lap and kept you close,  his arm wrapped around your waist. You were simply thinking about the fact that you were surprised Itto didn’t get caught by the cops, slowly relaxing in his arms.
Smooching you every 30 seconds, he simply got lost in your sweet smell, being so damn clingy the entire evening.
Before you knew he threw you over his shoulder, pointing to the door, almost tripping over. "Let's go light some fireworks again..?!" Itto cheered, his fist being raised up in the air.
"… You're not lighting up anything.." Kuki mumbled as you all marched over to the door.
Kazuha
The days towards the end of the year had been really peaceful..!
You had celebrated Christmas together with all your friends, but you and Kazu promised each other to spend the last day of the year with each other.
Happy he was home for one day, you wanted to do nothing else but be really close to him. You were used to him being gone for long periods of time since he liked traveling that much.. Vid calling you wasn't really enough, but if you ever had the chance to go with him.. You took it. And he loved showing you around the world.
But now that he decided to stay home, your face nuzzled into his chest as the Christmas tree still stood in the corner of the room, comfy lights decorating the room.
Normally he wouldn't be a fan of alcohol, but... He wanted to drink with you, for once.. Since it was almost new years..- (AAH)
Sadly enough you didn't get him so drunk that he would let out small hiccups, muttering cute things under his breath, but it was also a reliever that he was kinda sober so he could experience the last few seconds of the year with you.
While you two finished a bottle, you talked all about your favorite moments.. Bringing back up the summer vacation where you traveled together with him to some country outside Japan, though your memory failed to retrieve the location.. But you did remember what kinda stuff you did there..~
Both of your cheeks had a pink dust brushed over them, feeling the warmth in the room raise, Kazuha recommended going outside where it was a lot cooler.
So, you stood up, still holding the glass with beverage inside in your hands as you walked over to the front door with careful steps.
Before you could open it, Kazuha had already caught up with you and opened it for you like the gentleman he was..
You already smelled the gunpowder, indicating people had already started sending fireworks up in the air.. With a deep sigh you smiled and crossed your arms.. Noticing sparks in the air once in a while.
"I know we both prefer peaceful.. So here.." Kazuha closed the door behind him, pulling out two sparklers. You blinked surprised as you saw the particles flying off, but slowly took one and chuckled.
"Its way more quiet.." And with that he finally stood next to you, watching both your sparklers slowly burning up.. Seeing different colors like green and red appear in the sky once a while.. He lived for such sights, and he would kill to make sure you were next to him on these beautiful moments.
"Hey, (Y/n). I've got a few things to mention before we step into this new year just around the corner." He begun, staring straight into your eyes. You hummed loud and clear, quickly checking the time on your phone.. How was it already 23:48.. Time flied..
His sparkler died out first, so he placed it on the floor for him to pick it up later.. And wrapped an arm around you. You scooted closer without hesitation, looking up to observe his lively eyes.
Then he started telling you about how he loved you, how much he adored you, how every bit of you was perfect.. Just.. 5 minutes filled with lavish praise?
Taken by shock you gazed at him, a little stunned by his decision to say all this to you right now.. As the amount of fireworks being shot in the air slowly increased by each minute, you hugged him tight.. A smile formed on your face for the hundredth time that day.
As the two of you stood there in silence, the clock had 3 minutes left before it would tick into the new year, Kazu slowly let go and cupped your cheeks in his hands.
"(Y/n). You're amazing, you know that..?" He stared right into your soul, his gentle gaze was pain softening, your entire body turning into pudding and your mind blanking out for a second.. How could he be so enchanting..!
"Kazuha.. I love y-.." You couldn't even finish your sentence or he already kissed you, thousands of fireworks flying up in the air resulting in the sky changing all sorts of colors.. You knew that if someone had made a picture it would've been the most perfect shot ever.
He let go, eyes never taken off you even though all the action happened in the sky.
"I love you too, (Y/n).. Happy new year.." He hugged you tight, caressing your back really slow.. Your reaction was to rapidly wrap your hands around him too, your face buried in his chest.
"Hey hey? You two flirts. Won't you look at this?" Your body flinched, turning your head to see a phone held in front of your face.
"Oh, Heizou? Scaramouche?" Kazuha brought out with an heartwarming smile on his face. Scaramouche simply crossed his arms and hid his face in his scarf.
"So there was someone who made a pic..?" You said surprised, Heizou closed one eye and he stuck out his tongue.
Razor
You had already warned him for all the loud sounds he'd hear in the city, but he still wanted to enjoy some outside time with you.
It was a cold winter, you had your arm hooked through Razor's as the two of you slowly observed everything.
Even though Christmas had already passed, the lighting still hung in the air.. People excitingly ran around, still getting their last minute fireworks for tonight.
"Isn't it pretty.. All the lights, the sounds of the city being so lively..? Getting served delicious food." You happily hopped around while Razor silently looked around. He held you closer to him.
"As long as you have fun.. Its okay." He replied, growling softly. You sighed and gently ruffled his hairs, pressing a smooch on his cheek.
"I'm having a lot of fun, but it'd feel better if you were enjoying it too!" You hugged his arm tightly, he looked at you.. Tilting his head a bit afterwards.
"I.. Try." You chuckled softly, standing still out of nowhere and turned your body towards him.
He seemed a little surprised, but turned to you too, staring right in your eyes. You cupped his cheeks in your hands, your thumb softly caressing his soft skin. "Let's forget all formalities, all awkwardness.. Let's have fun."
People rushed past you, hands intertwined with each other so you wouldn’t lose each other. It softly started to rain, you looked up to the sky and smiled. "Hey? It's starting to rain?" You notified, Razor shortly sniffed.. Feeling the atmosphere changing to something more comfy for him.
"Am.. Glad." He removed his bangs out of his eyesight, giving you another short stare, a soft smile appearing on his face.
You passed a few food stands that were placed out in the city, enjoying everything that was granted to you tonight.. As long as you were together, it would be fine.
"You know what's the best part of new years Razor?" You started softly, he squeezed your hands lightly as he hummed. "The fireworks. They're loud, but so incredibly colorful and beautiful.." He blinked a few times, eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Is it?" He replied, you nodded excited.
He closed his eyes, placing his indexfinger and thumb under his chin. "There's.. A nice spot.." He whispered in your ear, his eyes slightly glittering.
And so, Razor led you to a place you never really visited, running past tons of trees and bushes. You completely trusted him, knowing he knew the forest like his back pocket. When he noticed your speed was slowly decreasing, he stopped running and turned around to you.
"You.. Okay?" He asked, you panted and nodded. He squinted slightly, not fully believing you.
".. Here." He turned his back towards you, kneeling down a bit and held out his arms on the side. "Jump." His hands gestured for you to climb on his back, you gasped.
"R-Razor..! No nee-" "(Y/n), no worry.. Time is almost 00:00. We can make it.. On time." His hair waved along with the wind, you gulped nervously and jumped on his back.
He easily ran, like you were weighting nothing, towards the spot he was thinking off..
Finally, after minutes, he stopped.. You opened your eyes again, only to see the two of you standing on top of some kind of hill.
The moment he placed you down, the fireworks already started going up in the air, surprised and stunned you slowly found balance on your feet, looking up to the sky..
"Woah.." You brought out, being unable to find any words. The colors filled the sky, Razor was just as surprised as you were.
"Beautiful.." He grinned pleased, his grin grew wider as he chuckled. Your mouth was slightly open, completely concentrating on the colors in the sky..
"(Y/n).." You turned your head to him, he hugged you tightly. Your eyes widened, but you softly readjusted to him which resulted in you wrapping your arms around him.
"Thank you for making my year a lot better.." You laughed happily.. Your life couldn’t get any better.
Zhongli
Old years eve with Zhongli is next level peaceful.
The two of you always evaluate the day, what happened at work.. But on new years eve you discuss what life decisions you two will make in the new year.
Living in a beautiful house with a balcony, the two of you sit across each other, each a glass of wine, having a direct view on the sky.
"I'm the happiest man alive, to witness this together with you.  The end of an eventful year.." His eyes seemed to light up, you took another small sip of wine as you smiled.
"I am grateful to sit here with you. So much tried breaking us down, fortunately, it wasn't strong enough." The wind blew slightly, making you shiver shortly.
"Cold?" He already started taking off his coat as you raised your hand to deny the cold, till you coughed lightly. "Don't worry, here.. Take this.." He stood up and walked towards you, making sure his coat covered up your body.
"A lot warmer..  Isn't it?" He took his time walking back to his spot, his hands still on your shoulders.
"Something the matter?" You looked up, seeing his sharp jawline.. He shook his head, bangs loosely moving along. "Not much, simply time ticking as I think about a lot. There is so much we still need to do." He sighed deeply as you reached out for his cheek.
Surprised he looked down towards you once your hand cupped his cheek. "We still got a lot of time, no need to stress yourself with it.." You smiled kindly, warming his heart up all again in this chilly weather.
"... I love you (Y/n)." He pressed his lips against yours and let go soonly after, he checked his watch.. Fixing his sleeves while he slowly walked back to his chair. You observed his back muscles and bit on your lower lip.
The way his tight blouse revealed his toned body, the belt around his waist exposing how small it was.. Yet himself being so tall.. Towering over you whenever you stood next to him..
He poured another glass for the both of you while staring straight into your eyes once a while. "It's getting late. Almost New year.. What are our wishes?" He begun, handing you over your glass. He sat down with his own afterwards.
With your lips slightly parted, you seeped air through your teeth as you stared to the sky, soon to be filled with colors.
"Finding a solid job that is..?" It sounded more like your personal new years resolution, though it was necessary to mention, it wasn't something that you could really reach together.
"Don't worry, I'll help you sort that out." Zhongli's comforting voice reassured you, another sigh escaped your lips.
"I'd like to.. Move away from the apartment. The balcony is very nice, but it isn't really.. My dream house." You eventually brought out, your glazy eyes finally recapturing their sharpness as you made eye contact with your man. "Understandable. Let's try doing that before next year ends." He placed his hand on top of yours, he got a nervous laugh out of you by doing simply this.
"That's a big goal ain't it?" "And I'm sure we'll fulfill it, no worries (Y/n)." He said, taking another sip of wine. You did the same, feeling your head spinning slightly.. You couldn't really recall how many bottles the two of you had finished, but it was fun to just.. Talk and drink something with your S/O.
"It's almost 00:00. I want you to know that once we enter this new year, I will still love you nonetheless, and my love has never decreased.. I hope we can stay like this, (Y/n), forever." A short twinkle appeared in his eyes, another laugh shook loose from you.
"I love you too Zhongli, please stay at my side.. And don't leave." He stood up, slowly retreating his hands back from yours and held them behind his back. He looked up to the sky, his jawline clearly visible. Once again your heart throbbed.
You eventually did the same, his arm being raised as an invitation for you to come closer, so you did. The moment you reached his chest, he wrapped his arm around you.. Breathing in and out deeply once.
"What would I ever do without you.. Hm?"

I was thinking after the yandere genshin school, maybe you can do another otome Yandere genshin, but Fantasy AU. Readers are addressed as your majesty/your highness; all the Yandere characters are their subjects, workers, or nobles/royalty from another kingdom. Ex. Albedo's a mage, Xiao's your royal guard, Zhongli's a king/potential fiancé, Heizou's a private investigator of the royals, the Kamisato are government officials of the Raiden Shogun kingdom, Traveler/Lumine is traveling adventurers, Venti's a bard/musician or secretly the runaway wind prince, Bully is the son of a tyrant, etc.
The goal (besides surviving and not getting the wrong end) is to escape from her royal family because the reader is either the first, second, or other in line for the throne, making readers vulnerable to many yandere and greedy nobles. However, the reader doesn't want to be a royal instead, to live peacefully as a commoner working their dream job, but they know if they told anyone that they'd use it against the reader. So the reader has to build up their runaway funds and create a plan, without anybody knowing because they know that their loyal(obsessed) followers would convince them otherwise. Reader has to also avoid getting engaged/betrothed to anybody because it would hinder their plan and if they're married they can't escape.
With the otome genshin game school au, there will be the same different types of yandere and build a reader, like kindness or seduction. Readers can also learn spells or defense if they can convince a yandere to teach them. Maybe some bad ends would be for Zhongli, a royal portrait of Zhongli, and Reader with their kids, however by reader's feet, you can see a chain including the reader's eyes look hypnotized because Zhongli gave Reader a potion so that they wouldn't escape. This wrong end would be called Picture Perfect Family (or something else I stink at this). Another would be called a perfect doll, where Raiden shoguns happily combing the reader's hair, but the reader has a blank look, also there's chains on both of their arms. Another would be loyal till the end, where Kazuha (a traveling knight) is in front of reader holding the heads of all of the 'evil' nobles that dared to hurt/mock reader. Kazuha states that he's showing his loyalty to his kingdom and hopes reader wills how the same.
You'd be able to do this with your unique skill in both writing and art! Sorry if this is long, kudos if you read the entire thing. Also, I'd be writing more because this is my first time writing to someone about this so I'll address myself as NightFlurry! Bye thanks!
Wowie o(^▽^)o
That’s a great suggestion!
Especially the bad endings 👀
However, I’d have to put up a poll to see what kind of genre/AU all the other players would wanna try out once the last life in this game has been lost.
But do feel free to hit me up if you have anything else you’d wanna share, I’m all ears!

Menacing fairy - Heizou (Part 2)
Gender neutral reader (first part mentions some make bits, however I do feel like gender neutral terms would be better for this fic).
--
You immediately look at 'Heizou', your arms crossed and your feet pointed at the exit. You didn't feel right about this, after all the confusion he decided to lure you here? It didn't make sense to you, all you could do was maintain your distance.
"Oh, my love, why must you be so distant?" He pouts, tilting his head. "I want to make you mine, but without a ki-"
"You made it clear to me you weren't interested." You state, turning to leave.
"Let me...explain why I cannot openly show these affections publicly." 'Heizou' please, you reluctantly stopping. "I...I know the dangers of anyone dating me. Any criminal would target you. If I were to show these emotions during the day, there is no doubt I would put you in danger." He explains.
"I think I'll need some time..." You admit, looking away. "I do love you, and I..."
"I must have confused you." 'Heizou' laughs, holding you by the chin. "I would be happy to wait, however I would also like to kiss you." He smirks, you laughing awkwardly.
--
Heizou didn't show for work the next day. Truthfully, he had seen the entire thing. This fairy was using him against you, knowing that he would be screwed. He didn't want to lose you, he loves you! This disgusting presence even used the 'i can't love you publicly' thing, it was almost scary how convincing it was.
Yae Miko decides to give him some very useful information. Information that, in hindsight, was too easily given. She explains the time, the location, everything.
He showed up, hoping to take the place of this 'Heizou'. When he spots you, he starts to run. A sense of urgency leads him to this action, knowing you would be used for this...things plans.
Before he got there, however, you had already decided. You love Heizou, and he asked you to kiss him softly on the lips. You didn't process how little the contact his palm was in relation to your face, simply closing your eyes as you feel the urge to kiss him.
"No!" Is all Heizou can manage, seeing in true horror the moment your life was transferred with this demon.
You look over, 'You' now chuckling as you hear it explain that it could now get to the outside world. Feeling incredibly stupid, you observe your surroundings. The look of...shame? Disgust? You weren't sure, but Heizou was giving you that look.
--
Out of embarrassment, you run away as you try to figure out any ideas for sorting this out. Were you dead? Did he actually see you? Was this some cruel dream?
It was all very bizarre.
"And that, my dear readers, is why you manage your expectations in a relationship." Yae Miko giggles, seeing Heizou there as she read out the whole short story on your fate. The other listeners satisfied, Yae Miko smirks before Heizou can't stop his feet.
"Surely I can be a hero here?" Heizou asks, Yae Miko stopping in her tracks. "I deduced that this is based on that 'scenario'."
"A hero needs his team, I'm sorry to say." Yae Miko tuts, walking away before Heizou can ask her from proper advice.
Luckily, he glances over to spot the traveler.
"Traveler!" He yells out, grabbing them before they can leave. "I urgently need your assistance, and if you can get anyone else I would be thankful."
--
He had asked the traveler to fight this person in the street, giving the description of you. Now, the traveler wanted to know why they had to fight you, but Heizou didn't elaborate and simply asked them to do so.
Supposedly, you were a 'criminal needing apprehending', and the traveler and their friends were the only ones capable of fighting them. Heizou said he couldn't be there himself for other reasons, and the traveler figures they were as well trying.
While the traveler fought 'you' off, Heizou went to find the real you that was now stuck in the forest. Thankfully, the search wasn't difficult, as he saw you scolding yourself for being so stupid. Getting closer, he realised you were degrading your looks, mumbling about how it was selfish and unrealistic of you to think Heizou would actually like you back. He calls your name, and you start to run deeper into the woods.
Heizou, it turns out, is faster than you. He grasps your hand, stopping you, before turns you around. He doesn't know what to do, but trusting the traveler is actually fighting the fairy that stole your appearance, he figures it's worth confessing to you and clearing up confusion. Usually able to say many words, Heizou is now only able to think of three.
"I love you." Heizou admits, you reluctantly looking away. "It's true."
"How can you love someone stupid enough to fall for the forest creatures mimick?" You spit out, once again scolding yourself.
"Because I almost fell for the same trick." Heizou states, not letting go of you.
"Well, the fairy must be out and about. Why aren't you chasing after it? It's a bigger priority to protect people that can be saved." You query, Heizou shaking his head.
"The traveler is on the case." Heizou sighs, his free hand cupping your face. "I'm here to get you free." He explains, beginning to close the gap.
"Wait." You stop him, him not pulling away. "Aren't you worried about getting stuck in my place?"
"I need to get you free." Heizou tuts, once again pulling you closer, lips almost touching. "And to do that, I think I need to do this."
He finally closed the gap fully, initiating a kiss.
--
"Get a room, you two." You hear Ayato grimace, suddenly aware the clothes you were wearing were now gone. Heizou covers your body with his, registering the same thing.
"Say, could you get us a spare set of clothes? A towel, maybe?" Heizou asks.
Ayato chucks a change of clothes in your size at Heizou, not wanting to get close enough to see you indecent.
"Be grateful for the traveler." Ayato states, looking over at Inazumas main city. "The fairy has been eradicated, and I was informed of your very obvious love interest being targeted." He clears his throat, walking towards the City. "Congratulations on your plan working." He rounds off, Heizou nodding before turning towards you.
"As much as I like this sight, I'd prefer to keep this to myself." Heizou teases, you grabbing the clothes and changing into them. "I guess those clothes must have been part of the fairy..."
--
"Wow, so the hero actually saves them?" A listener gasps, Yae Miko nodding.
"Yes. This story highlights the importance of clear communication." She giggles, looking at Heizou. "And I'm certain the story has been eye opening for some."
Heizou crosses his arms, realising this was correct. The story initially ended with you being stuck forever, and he didn't like that. It was the kick he needed to get you free. He knew Yae Miko was never going to let this go, but considering the outcome he was happy.
Now, he was able to be open with you about his love.

I am a Sinner (You are a Saint)
Chapter Two | Scaramouche
Ship: HeiKazuScara
Rating: E
Status: In Progress
Word Count: 3.3k
Description:
“You shall be cast out of the heavenly realm indefinitely.”
Kunikuzushi feels arms grab his own as he is forced to his feet. He struggles, keeping his eyes on his mother only. “Mother! Don’t let them do this!” The guards continue to drag him away, even if it is a struggle. “Mother!” He knows the gate to the human realm is growing closer to him. The more time passes, the less chance he has to escape. But the divine never back out of their decisions…never. He looks to his mother one last time, hoping that she at least looks at him. But her gaze refuses to meet his own.
When he is finally cast out, the air rushing past his entire body, he could only visualize his mother’s pained expression.
He has never felt so alone…
Ao3 Link
Tumblr media
Heizou can barely keep his eyes open as he continues to stare at the unknown…whatever it is that is currently sleeping on his couch.  Kazuha has since dozed off, head resting in Heizou’s lap in a way that he initially smiled at.  However, it has been about an hour, and his legs are falling asleep.  So, unfortunately, not as cute anymore.
Shame.
He glances at the clock, confirming that it is far past midnight, a fact that he didn’t want to be true.  He had hoped that their guest would have awoken by now, but alas, the…male has been asleep this entire time.  Heizou groans internally, foreseeing the sheer amount of coffee he is going to be required to consume just to function at work.  It is never a good idea to go to work exhausted, but with his career?  It could get him killed if he’s not careful.
However, he is not about to fall asleep with a stranger in his house, especially when Kazuha is here.  He has seen far too many cases in his lifetime where being trusting can get you murdered, so he refuses to even take the chance.  
When he senses movement, the first thing Heizou does is wake up his boyfriend.  Kazuha grumbles in response, rubbing his eyes as he slowly wakes from whatever dream he was in the middle of, thus showing Heizou yet another adorable action that Kazuha does unintentionally.  However, Heizou shakes his head in an attempt to clear those thoughts from his mind.  Their guest is waking up, that is what is important.
Their guest stirs a little before his eyes shoot open.  Heizou observes how the person sits up quickly before immediately hissing in pain.  The stranger attempts to stand next, predictably falling in a rather ungraceful manner.  Heizou would have laughed if it wasn’t for the situation at hand.  “Who are you?” Heizou asks, carefully keeping a hand wrapped around Kazuha’s arm just in case he needs to push the man to safety.
“Where am I?” The person asks, their voice cracking.  They reach toward their throat, wincing in pain.
“You’re in Inazuma city…well the outskirts of it at least,” Kazuha says, sitting up.  Heizou assumes Kazuha did such an action to view the person easier, as it is something Heizou would do.  
The stranger widens their eyes, looking at both men in a way that Heizou could only describe as a mix of panic and dismay.  “I’m on earth?”
Heizou immediately has to push the idea away that the person in front of him is an alien.  He doubts they are…but that doesn’t stop him from thinking about it at first.  “What is your name?” Heizou rephrases his previous question, yet receives no response once more.
“I didn’t…why.  Why did this happen?” The stranger rambles on, much to the confusion of both Kazuha and Heizou as neither party understands the context.  “I wanted to help…”
“Help with what?” Kazuha asks gently, reaching out to the stranger in an attempt to hold their hand, only as a means of comfort, but is greeted with the stranger jerking away from him.  “What happened to you?”
The stranger looks to Kazuha as if he forgot that either of them were there.  “Why didn’t mother help?  She always does…why?”
Kazuha, even though he was just met with an action that proves the stranger doesn’t want to be interacted with, ignores any previous signs and takes a seat right next to them.  He avoids touching them, instead placing a hand near them.  “I would love to help you…but we need you to answer a few questions first.  Is that okay?”  The stranger stares at him with wide eyes before slowly nodding, not dropping his gaze.  “Alright,” Kazuha says while smiling.  “First off, can you tell us where you came from?”
The stranger points upwards.  
Heizou can only scream at the stranger internally at that moment.  No shit.  However, he knows that it is not a good idea to provoke this person, especially when Kazuha is sitting right next to it.  
“Up there?” Kazuha asks, mimicking the movement.  “Does that mean you’re what…an angel?” He laughs, only stopping when the stranger doesn’t smile or show any sign of joking.  “Holy shit.”  Kazuha runs a hand through his hair, looking away from the…angel… for a moment, glancing at Heizou.  Neither of them know how to react to something like this.  “Are you hurt?  Well…obviously you’re hurt, but do you need anything?  Painkillers?  An ice pack?  A fall like that must have hurt.”
The stranger shakes his head.
“Okay,” Kazuha says while nodding his head, glancing at Heizou once more before going back to the stranger.  “Can you tell me your name?”
“It was Kunikuzushi.”
“Was?” Heizou pipes in, raising a brow at such a statement.  Honestly, this entire situation still feels ridiculous but he has to keep his cool for now.  
The stranger looks at him and for that moment, the world stops around Heizou as he stares at this person.  For this singular moment, it is like he believes everything this person says.  The stranger looks away nervously just as quickly as his attention focusing on Heizou in the first place.  
“When we are created, our creators grant us a name.  If we are cast out, we are stripped of that name.”
Heizou can quite literally see Kazuha’s expression softened due to such a statement.  “Can I call you Kunikuzushi?”
“For now I believe it is fine…at least until I find a new name.”
Kazuha smiles widely at Kunikuzushi, attempting to soothe him.  “Great, well, it’s nice to meet you Kunikuzushi.  My name is Kazuha.”  Kazuha then raises his hand, only to be greeted with a confused look from the angel.  “This is a handshake…it’s meant to represent a hello.”
“Oh…” Kunikuzushi says quietly, hesitantly reaching out and grasping Kazuha’s hand with his own.  Kazuha smiles encouragingly, even after both of them let go of the other’s hand.
Heizou cannot help but attempt to get Kazuha’s attention, which he is successful in doing.  Kazuha looks back toward Kunikuzushi for a moment, smiling softly.  “I’m going to go grab some ice for you okay?  You had quite the fall.” Kazuha says.  And with that, Kazuha stands up and beckons Heizou into the kitchen with him.  Once the door is closed, Heizou’s boyfriend immediately looks at him in confusion.  “What’s wrong?”
“Kazuha…” Heizou breathes out in disbelief.  “What are you doing?”
Once again, Heizou is greeted with a look of confusion.  “What do you mean?”
Heizou immediately points at the closed door, intending to be gesturing toward their newest guest.  “Why are you being so nice to him?  We should be trying to get information so we can send him on his way.”
“And where do you suppose he should go?”
“Not here!”
“Listen Heizou,” Kazuha says while rubbing his temples, “we can’t just let him go.  He’d be in danger.”
“How do you even know that?”
“Have you seen what he is?” Kazuha says, his voice a bit more raised.  “He’s hurt Heizou.”
And Heizou knows that Kazuha is right.  Honestly, at any other time he would be completely on board with what his boyfriend is saying.  They’ve never really disagreed on much before.  However, with the recent rise in crimes…he can’t help but feel nervous, even if the guest on his couch is a literal angel.  He leans on Kazuha, resting his forehead on his boyfriend’s shoulder as he lets out a sigh.  “What’s your read on him?”
“Excuse me?”
Heizou doesn’t raise his head as he speaks, continuing to rest on Kazuha.  He’s exhausted, simple as that.  “I trust your judgment.  So what do you think of him?  Is he going to murder us in our sleep?”
Heizou feels Kazuha sigh, shifting his weight distribution so that Heizou can still comfortably lean on him.  “I think he’s scared.  Maybe he will kill us in our sleep, but I doubt it will be tonight.”
Heizou lets out a chuckle at such a statement, appreciating the fact that Kazuha without fail always keeps his spirits up.  “Then he can stay.”
“Well I wasn’t going to take a no for an answer anyways, but I appreciate your consent.”
Heizou lifts his head, staring into Kazuha’s eyes for a moment with a small smile.  “How am I to trust you to be safe when you do things that I wouldn’t approve of?”
“When did I need your approval in the first place?” Kazuha retorts.
“I absolutely hate you sometimes, you know that?” Heizou says, pulling Kazuha into a small kiss that causes both parties to smile softly.  When they part, Kazuha leans forward, following Heizou for a moment before realizing.  “I’m sorry for fighting with you earlier.”
“Oh that?” Kazuha asks, grabbing Heizou’s face lightly and kissing him again.  “That was nothing, trust me.”
But Heizou still doesn’t like such an answer.  “I don’t like fighting with you Kazu…I’m just tired right now.  But I promise, I’ll make it up to you.”  Heizou doesn’t even know where the nickname came from.  When they started dating, he would just start using it once in a while, and it just stuck.  Kazuha never showed a dislike for the nickname, so Heizou never stopped using it.
”And I don’t doubt that one bit,” Kazuha says as he pulls Heizou closer to him.  The man absentmindedly fiddles with Heizou’s belt loops, an action that Heizou internally gushes about how adorable it is.  “I need to get our new friend some ice.”
“Then why aren’t you?”
“I’m a bit distracted right now,” Kazuha says before pressing his lips to Heizou’s once more.  Heizou has always loved his time with Kazuha, especially these moments.  He loves the softer moments, where they can just be in each other’s company without worry.  Whenever these moments are available, it always ends in hours being dedicated to just the two of them.  In those moments, it is just them, and nothing else matters.  
But alas, moments always have to end at one point, and when Kazuha intentionally steps away as if Heizou was this drug that Kazuha must avoid, Heizou’s thoughts clear.  He watches as Kazuha goes into the freezer and pulls out the large bag of ice.  Heizou stands there when his boyfriend picks up some ice cubes and wraps them in a cloth.  He even moves out of the doorway so that Kazuha can bring the ice to the new guest.
Heizou shakes his head in an attempt to gather his thoughts.  After all of this, it is already time for him to get ready for work, which he truly dislikes.  He wants to stay here, get more information, and get some sleep.  However, he cannot just skip work, especially when it is this close to the holidays.  
So, he goes upstairs without a word and changes into some fresh clothes.  Kazuha must have washed them, as they smell distinctly of Kazuha’s laundry detergent.  He then brushed his hair, pulling it into a loose ponytail that he definitely will need to tighten if he needs to investigate a crime scene.  He then ventures back downstairs, observing how Kazuha is hesitantly pressing the makeshift ice pack onto Kunikuzushi’s wings, removing it the moment the angel winces in pain.  
“I have to go,” Heizou says loud enough to get Kazuha’s attention.  
“Did you make yourself coffee?”
“I’ll buy some on the way,” Heizou says with a fake smile, genuinely feeling exhausted.  “I’ll be safe, don’t worry.”
“If you get too tired, come home immediately, understand?” Kazuha says, handing the ice pack to Kunikuzushi so that he can go back to his boyfriend.  “I don’t want to watch the news and find out you’re dead, Heizou.”
“You won’t,” Heizou says, glancing over to their guest.  “I’m trusting you to stay here.  Tell me Angel, do you plan on being difficult when staying here?”
Kunikuzushi stares at him for a moment, blinking slowly in reaction to simply being called ‘Angel’.  “I don’t plan to, no.”
Heizou merely nods, finding that to be sufficient.  “Okay then.”  And just like that, Heizou leaves to go to work
●•·•●
Kunikuzushi keeps a firm hand on the ice pack, currently helping with the pain in his wings.  It doesn’t help too much, but it’s something.  His mind is a jumbled mess, attempting to make sense of everything.  He didn’t expect to be cast out, especially not when attempting to warn others about a potential plot from the demonic realm.  He also didn’t expect to be welcomed into a human home.
He shouldn’t have said what he did when he woke up, that much is something he knows.  These two humans, even if they both seem genuinely kind, shouldn’t be brought into all of this.  They shouldn’t have knowledge of what Kunikuzushi expects is coming.
In the corner of his eye, he sees Kazuha approach him with a strange device.  Kazuha reminds Kunikuzushi of some people in the angelic realm.  Blond hair is common enough up there, with lighter hair actually being favored by most angels.  The human’s blond hair that is twisted into a messy side braid makes the man look kind, a strange opposite of the messy hair of Heizou that makes him look intimidating.  
“Hi,” Kazuha says softly, keeping Kunikuzushi from getting lost in his thoughts for too long.  “I have my laptop right here…do you know what a laptop is?”  Kunikuzushi shakes his head, not giving a verbal response.  Kazuha lets out a breath, which Kunikuzushi identifies as a good reaction, which eases his nerves slightly.  “Well, move over a bit.”
Kunikuzushi shifts further to the side of the sofa, wincing in pain but overall fully able to make room.  Kazuha offers a smile to him before placing down the laptop on the table in front of them both.  He opens the item, this laptop lighting up immediately.  The human proceeds to do something, and whatever Kunikuzushi was staring at changes instantly.
Kazuha clears his voice, causing Kunikuzushi to jump slightly at the noise but he quickly brushes it off.  “This is a laptop.  It’s an item that can let you go on the internet.”  Kazuha glances at Kunikuzushi for a moment before seemingly realizing that the angel doesn’t know what he’s talking about.  “The internet can allow you to research things.” Kunikuzushi looks at him in confusion, because he truly is confused.  “You wanted to figure out a new name, right?
Kunikuzushi stares at Kazuha for a moment, a look of surprise adorning his features.  “This is to help me find a new name?”
“Yeah!” Kazuha says, his features brightening immediately.  Honestly, with how he is acting, Kunikuzushi can’t help but smile as well, although it is a small one.  “Do you want to know how to work it?”  Kunikuzushi cannot help but nod.  He would love to show more appreciation, he really would, but he really doesn’t know how at the moment, especially with all that has happened.  “Okay, so you are going to want to type what you want to look up…you can read right?  I don’t know if angels have a different way of writing.”
“As angels, we are tasked to know practically every actively used human language.”
“Great,” Kazuha says at once, getting the laptop ready for Kunikuzushi to use.  Based on what Kunikuzushi notices, Kazuha is intentionally showing him everything he needs to do to actually work the thing.  When he notices this, his smile widens a bit more.  “Look up what you need to, okay?”
Kunikuzushi nods, turning toward the strange device.  He is still not completely sure how to work this thing, but he has always been a fast learner.  However, he feels a hand going through his hair for a moment before the sofa shifts once Kazuha jerks away.  “I’m sorry!” He says, looking shocked that he would do such a thing.
“It’s fine…”
“It’s just that your hair is so tangled…I shouldn’t have touched it, I apologize.”
“I said it is fine.”
“Your hair is really nice by the way!  I’ve never seen hair so long before-“
“Kazuha!” Kunikuzushi snaps, sending the human a look to just make him stop talking.  “It’s fine…it's all fine.”
Kazuha just nods, looking a bit dejected, causing Kunikuzushi’s stomach to plummet slightly.  He didn’t want to upset the human.  He never wanted to upset anyone.  But, Kazuha doesn’t know that.  And when Kazuha tells him that he will simply leave Kunikuzushi alone, Kunikuzushi feels guilty.
The angel holds his head in his hands for a while once the human leaves, wondering where he went wrong.  He doesn’t mean to be abrasive, but it seems as if he cannot help but fall upon his old ways.  However, he hesitantly grabs the laptop.
If Kazuha was kind enough to bring this to him, he might as well use it.
●•·•●
Kazuha didn’t hold any hard feelings toward Kunikuzushi for how the angel spoke to him.  He acknowledges that Kunikuzushi is most likely overwhelmed.  That’s why Kazuha decided to leave the room.  He also had other ulterior motives and he didn’t want Kunikuzushi to have any knowledge of them.
Heizou has a study, a room Kazuha intentionally avoids most of the time.  It’s the place where Heizou can craft notes and keep details regarding ongoing investigations.  So, Kazuha tends to let Heizou do whatever he wants up here.  However, Kazuha can be nosy at times.
Heizou rarely avoids telling Kazuha information, and while Kazuha acknowledges that legally his boyfriend is not supposed to, he still finds it odd.  This is why he is currently searching Heizou’s study for any information on the newest case.  
He carefully moves papers, searching for anything that will point him toward answers.  There is something about the case that Heizou is investigating, and Kazuha is determined to figure out what.
A crash makes him jump, quickly putting everything back in its original place.  Kazuha rushes toward the living room, almost tripping on one of the stairs.  And when he gets back in the room, he sees Kunikuzushi on the floor that is littered with long strands of the angel’s hair.  
“What…” Kazuha trails off, looking at the scissors in Kunikuzushi’s hands.  “What happened?”
“Your laptop told me how to cut my hair.”
“And you did it with blunt craft scissors?”
“They were the only ones you had.”
Kunikuzushi’s hair…doesn’t look great.  It’s choppy, clearly done by someone who lacks experience.  Glancing at his laptop’s screen, Kazuha sees the YouTube video Kunikuzushi was looking at, with a haircut that is nothing close to what he actually did.
“Angels put importance into our hair so I thought…” Kunikuzushi looks at Kazuha in a panicked manner.  “Does it look that bad?”
“No,” Kazuha says quickly, cringing at how much he doesn’t sound genuine.  Kunikuzushi sends him a look, and Kazuha feels the need to continue talking.  “Kunikuzushi-“
“Scaramouche.”
Kazuha’s brain just stops at that moment as he stares at the angel in shock.  He opens his mouth before closing it, similarly to a fish.  When he finally is able to talk, all he can do is say, “what?”
The angel shifts uncomfortably, causing one of his wings to accidentally knock over a plastic cup that was on the end table.  “I found a name I like…Scaramouche.”
“Any particular reason why?”
He shakes his head quickly, causing Kazuha to smile at the action.  Honestly, he finds it cute…just a little bit.  “I found it on a name generator…I was drawn to it.”
“Well then,” Kazuha says, standing up straight and walking toward Scaramouche.  He extends out his hand, waiting for Scaramouche to grasp it so he can help the angel up.  “It’s nice to meet you, Scaramouche.”
The angel smiles back, jerking his hand back after a moment which causes Kazuha to look at him in confusion.  However, since Scaramouche is seemingly moving on from that moment, Kazuha decides to as well.  “It’s nice to meet you too, Kazuha,” Scaramouche says.
The angel is still pretty rough around the edges but Kazuha truly doesn’t mind.  At least he’s being helped for now.

- “ strange feelings “
Tumblr media
chapter: one
warnings: mentions of being watched
ink’s note: so this is the first chapter! i am really excited about this series and i hope that everyone reading it, finds it fun
taglist: @yzeniko​
Tumblr media
xiao noticed that heizou was a natural at acting. his eyes followed heizou as the latter put his entire soul into delivering his lines. with just one look at the crew, xiao knew that yes...
heizou was made for acting.
unlike others, he had no trouble in expressing his emotions and getting into character. he could be given the role of an old grandpa or that of a highschool sweetheart, ready to steal the hearts of males and females alike, and people had full faith that he would perfectly execute those roles. 
“my angel, you could reject me a million times and say no to my confessions, but this heart will always be yours and yours alone.” heizou said in a dreamy voice, softly touching the face of his female co-star.
xiao could practically see the female crew members swooning at heizou and he shook his head softly, instead  focusing on reading his lines once again. 
the actress sobbed, “can’t you see? i am already engaged!-”
of course.
it always had to be this, thought xiao.
he wondered why the audience found such movies and shows interesting. they all had the same plot. however, it was funny considering that he was an actor and he was going to be one of the main leads of the movie.
xiao sighed in relief, he was at least happy about the fact that he didn’t have to say such sappy stuff on screen.
“cut!” said the director, clapping his hands. “heizou, that was incredible! i can always count on you to effortlessly pull off your role, huh?” 
heizou shook his head and humbly spoke, “you flatter me, sir. i should be once again thanking you for letting me take part in this amazing production of yours.” 
he got off stage and noticed that his friend, xiao, was sitting on a chair facing the stage. a grin immediately came on his face as he walked there, hands in his pockets.
“hey, xiao. i didn’t know you were going to be on set today.” heizou spoke casually, putting a hand on his shoulder in a friendly gesture.
xiao rolled his eyes as he shook his hand, “yeah...the director said that a few adjustments had to be made to my script.”
“last minute?”
“yeah.”
heizou hummed, “well, that’s strange but good luck! i know you will do a great job.”
xiao nodded his head and softly thanked him. he didn’t like making a lot of friends and socializing wasn’t something he was good at but with heizou, it was easy to talk. perhaps it was because he could strike up a conversation with anyone and about anything, but xiao liked talking to him.
however, as soon as the director called him on stage...xiao felt a chill.
he stopped in his steps.
it felt as if...he was being watched by someone strange.
across the room, heizou who was standing and talking to the actress, turned his head to meet his eyes. it was as if the both of them could read each other’s thoughts and knew exactly what the other person was thinking.
it was definitely a strange feeling and it made xiao shiver.

i was thinking about your post on how hyv cares a lot about consistency when it comes to hangouts (since you can replay all of them) and it made me wonder if that’s the reason why sara doesn’t have a hangout quest yet…
because if sara had a hangout at this point in the storyline, the raiden shogun would probably be very involved in it (either mentioned frequently or she’d actually show up)
but if raiden died in the future for whatever reason… well… that would really complicate things with that entire hangout event, right? 🧐 hmmm
Oh. Oh no :S
Fingers crossed we see one soon, then. Beidou's and Ningguang's had to wait until certain story content was released so... maybe... if lucky... we get one later?!?
Though I guess there's things besides Raiden death that would complicate a Sara hangout, including:
Ei's constantly evolving political stance (Sakoku Decree!) might change again — see also 2.5. and since then we've had the Irodori Festival and the Kuki and Heizou hangouts, maybe there wasn't a good time?
Shinobu only came out (hehehe) in 2.7 right? So there really hasn't been time for the full Sara cast to stabilise.
The constant twists and turns in her brother Kamaji's life... what shenanigans will happen to him in Ayato or Ayaka Chapter 2? Will the Kujou Clan end up jumping ship and answering to the Hiiragi Clan? Lots of weirdness is still possible.
<copium> Speaking of political marriages(*), Sara getting assigned as permanent attaché to Watatsumi? Possible! She's both a good representative for Ei and someone who the Tri-Commission would love to not deal with the post-AQ awkwardness around. And then canon Kokosara and and </copium>
and the fact that a dating sim with EN VA Jeannie "here is something to believe in!" Tirado playing an awkward undersocialised murder lady would cause a few hundred players to have a heart attack, myself included
so even if my Hoyoverse theory holds true there's hope that it's not bc of a planned Ei death!
...hope.
(* insert plug for @dandelion-wings's Jean/Sara arranged marriage AU (1 2). In case my followers haven't seen it yet.)

I am a Sinner (You are a Saint)
Chapter Thirteen | White Lies
Ship: HeiKazuScara
Rating: E
Status: In Progress
Word Count: 2.1k words
Description:
“You shall be cast out of the heavenly realm indefinitely.”
Kunikuzushi feels arms grab his own as he is forced to his feet. He struggles, keeping his eyes on his mother only. “Mother! Don’t let them do this!” The guards continue to drag him away, even if it is a struggle. “Mother!” He knows the gate to the human realm is growing closer to him. The more time passes, the less chance he has to escape. But the divine never back out of their decisions…never. He looks to his mother one last time, hoping that she at least looks at him. But her gaze refuses to meet his own.
When he is finally cast out, the air rushing past his entire body, he could only visualize his mother’s pained expression.
He has never felt so alone…

“This is not as fun as I had imagined,” Heizou says, disliking the fact that Scaramouche has to grip onto his arms to keep Heizou upright.  Not to mention, it just feels weird looking down and seeing the ground so far below him without anything for him to step onto.  Don’t get him wrong, flying is awesome, but probably not for him.
Scaramouche lowers him, still hovering above the ground.  “I told you that it might be weird.”
“Kazuha looked like he was having a blast though!”
“Because I was,” Kazuha says softly, sitting on a blanket they had laid out.  How a nice picnic in the woods behind their house turned into Scaramouche showing them what it is like to fly is something beyond Heizou’s comprehension.  It was offhandley mentioned and then became a reality.  But it was glorious to see Kazuha having fun, so Heizou will ignore how much he disliked it.
Heizou glances up at Scaramouche, who truly looks like he is in his element.  He’s just gliding around, low enough to be in earshot, but high enough where he goes past the trees consistently.  Sometimes, Heizou cannot help but compare Scaramouche to a bird, and he occasionally wonders if that comparison is cruel or far closer to the truth than any of them realize.
As Scaramouche glides throughout the air, Heizou cannot help it when thoughts harass his mind, a pit growing in his stomach faster than expected.  So it’s not even surprising to him when he turns toward Kazuha.  “Can we talk inside?”
Kazuha, who was intently watching Scaramouche up until that point, looks at him in confusion.  “What?”
“I need to talk to you in the kitchen.”
Kazuha obviously is confused, and the look he is sending Heizou confirms it.  However, he does agree to go so that is truly something.  “Scara!” Kazuha yells out, and Heizou can’t tell if the angel can even hear him, “we’re going inside for a second!”
Scaramouche doesn’t respond.
Upon getting into the kitchen, Heizou feels as if he has lost every ability to speak.  His mind goes blank on how to word things as if he hadn’t been thinking about the conversation mere moments prior.
“Heizou?”
“Give me a minute…”
“Heizou,” Kazuha says, letting out an annoyed breath.  “If you were cold, you didn’t need to drag me in here.”
“I’m not cold…”
“Then what do you need to talk about?” Kazuha asks, pressing harder to get the answers he so desperately craves.  
“Do you think Scaramouche is happy right now?”
Kazuha pauses, obviously attempting to make sense of the question.  “What on earth are you talking about?”
“Look at him out there,” Heizou says, gesturing toward the window.  Scaramouche is gliding around with a smile on his face.  When the angel notices both of them looking at him he waves.  “He loves flying.”
“He hasn’t flown since he fell,” Kazuha attempts to reason.  “He’s clearly happy with us.”
“What happens if they want him back?  Do you think Scaramouche would turn down being able to be with his family again for us?”
This time, Kazuha doesn’t have an answer, but his silence already tells Heizou all he needs to know.
“Is it cruel that even if he figures out and stops all the bullshit happening right now, I don’t want heaven to offer him a spot.  I want them to ignore it, so he will stay.”
“It’s not cruel,” Kazuha mutters, gripping onto the side of a table.  “Scara is amazing, and honestly the thought of losing him terrifies me.  But we can’t speculate on what decisions he would make in hypothetical scenarios.  Most we can do is hope he makes the right decision for him, and talk to him about our own fears.”
Heizou pulls Kazuha closer, kissing the top of his head.  “You are so smart.”
“I try,” Kazuha says with a soft smile before pulling away, intentionally taking a step back.  “We should get back outside.”
And they do go outside.  The stark temperature difference between the outside world and inside is quite stark, but Heizou cannot help but enjoy it slightly.  
Kazuha looks around confused, glancing at Heizou.  “Where did Scara go?”
Heizou knew it was too quiet.
●•·•●
Scaramouche noticed it immediately.  The air around the property shifted, a suffocating atmosphere settling in and digging its heels into the ground.  He almost celebrated when Heizou and Kazuha went into the house, as he wanted to investigate but not worry them.
So he flies toward the source, every few flaps of his wings seemingly becoming harder to accomplish.  Every inch of his body is telling him to run, that the beings who are visiting are not to be trifled with.  But he already knows them, so what is the harm really?
He lands, his wings disappearing at once as he stands tall, staring directly at the newcomers.
“What are you two doing here?”
“Well that’s not very nice,” Dottore says, practically grinning.  Scaramouche’s skin crawls at the expression, forcing him to suppress a grimace.  “I thought it was established that sooner or later we would be back.”
“No that was obvious,” Scaramouche says with a scoff.  “But why you think I would just let you kill me is baffling.  Are you that stupid?”
Pantalone snorts at Scaramouche’s words.  “Interesting words coming from an angel who fainted.”
“Interesting words coming from a witch’s lapdog.”
“Says the one who’s wrapped around two human’s fingers.”
“Jealous that I actually get what I want instead of pining over someone more focused on summoning a being leagues more powerful then I am?”
“Not that it would be difficult.”
Scaramouche raises a brow at the demon’s words, yet his feet stay firmly planted on the ground.  He glances at where the two stand, noting it just to prepare if either were to lash out suddenly.  “Just because I’m an angel doesn’t mean there aren’t any other angelic beings below me.”
“I’m well aware of how your hierarchies work,” Pantalone says.  He brushes off Dottore, who is staring at him as if he had said something wrong.  “The queen makes sure we know about the enemy.”
“Likewise, Celestia made sure to tell us as much as they could.”
“Your assumption over knowing the truth will be your downfall,” Pantalone says coldly, looking back to Dottore for a moment before glancing back at Scaramouche intently.  “Unfortunately, you won’t be able to verify if I’m telling the truth about that.”
“Oh?” Scaramouche questions, taking a step forward.  He once again glances at their position in comparison to where potential areas in which he can escape are.  “I knew that overusing magical energy could deplete brain cells but I didn’t know it would harm both of you this much.  Because what makes you think I’m just going to go with you?”
Dottore sends him a glare, as if challenging Scaramouche to continue, which he gladly does.
“Because you need me to physically go wherever your spell is, don’t you?” Scaramouche questions, a cocky grin plastered on his face.  “Angel blood is nothing if it’s not fresh.  But what makes you think I’d go willingly?”
“We had hoped that you would at least think of the well-being of your humans.”
“Oh but I already did,” Scaramouche says confidently.  “I’ve already made all the precautions and, simply put, since I’m sure you two wouldn’t catch on without me explaining, you can’t touch them.  So once again, I’m desperately wondering how you two expect me to go with you?”
“Fairly confident for an angel who lost the last battle,” Dottore hisses out, his arms crossed.
“Strong words for someone who immediately retreated after one gunshot wound.”
Dottore opens his mouth before closing it with a groan.  “Why can’t you just be useful for a moment? This isn’t us personally only targeting you.  We just need angel blood and you’re the only one in the area.”
“Oh in that case…” Scaramouche mutters, stepping forward with a fake smile.  His smile drops immediately.  “Fuck off and find another.  I’m sure the queen can wait a few more hundred years.”
“This isn’t going anywhere,” Dottore mutters looking toward Pantalone in annoyance.  “Are you actually going to do anything useful or are you going to just stand there?”
Pantalone takes the hint, stepping forward.  Scaramouche stands tall, staring at him intently.  His feet do not move from the spot in which they are planted.  Pantalone reaches out, his hand getting dangerously close to Scaramouche but it never touches him.
Pantalone gasps in shock as the skin on his hand begins to bubble before physically melting, the practically liquid skin falling onto the grass below.  Next is the bones, crumbling until they are nothing but ash, blowing away in the wind.  He steps back, grasping his arm as it bleeds black goop.  He visibly attempts to form a new hand, but every time the goop begins to form, it pops, splattering its contents onto the grass.
“Did you really think I wouldn’t prepare for you?” Scaramouche questions, relishing in the fact that he can look down upon Pantalone for the first time.  “Do you think I was naïve enough to believe that neither of you would come back.”
Dottore looks to Pantalone in concern, his eyes going over the wound before snapping back to Scaramouche.  “What’s the cure?” And to that, Scaramouche merely shrugs in response.  “How do I reverse it?”
“You can figure it out yourself I think.  But I’m afraid you’ll need angelic energy for it,” Scaramouche says with a grin, adoring this moment.  “I’m happy to give you some…but you need to enter the threshold first.  Think you can guarantee your own safety without your demon?” Scaramouche doesn’t see it, but his eyes are glinting in the light, looking slightly terrifying.  “You’re welcome to try.”
Dottore stares at him, as if sizing up his words and analyzing whether or not he’s telling the truth.  And based on the fact that he tugs at Pantalone’s sleeve, Scaramouche realizes that he believes him.  “We’ll be back.”
“Looking forward to it.”
As Dottore and Pantalone disappear in an instant, Scaramouche feels his knees give way.  His heart races, his breath getting caught in his throat as his mind goes over what just happened, over what could have happened.  He was too cocky, too confident that the spell would work.  That could have easily turned into a nightmare and he didn't even flinch.  He stared down the barrel of a gun and mocked the man holding it.  Scaramouche believes himself to be rather intelligent, but occasionally he has his doubts.
This is one of those moments.
Sudden sounds of twigs breaking as two people audibly running towards him cause the angel to snap out of it.  He looks toward the individuals in a panic, only to calm down when he realizes that it is merely Kazuha and Heizou.
Kazuha is the first one at his side, holding his hand instantly.  “Are you alright?” Scaramouche doesn’t verbally respond, only nodding.  “Why did you run off like that?”
“There was something I needed to take care of,” Scaramouche says quickly, internally cringing at how he is a terrible liar.  He doubts Kazuha even believes him.  Heizou is even less likely, especially considering he is far closer to the truth.
“And what would that be?” Heizou asks, his eyes narrowed in suspicion.
“I was attempting to observe my wings to find two suitable feathers,” Scaramouche says, thinking on his feet.  “In the angelic realm, we have an entire ritual, but since I can’t do that, I thought I should do the best I can.”
Kazuha glances at Heizou quickly before going back to Scaramouche.  “Why did you need to look at your wings?  Are you hurt?  Did we overdo it when having you fly around.”
“No,” Scaramouche says quickly, grasping Kazuha’s hands in his own.  His cheeks burn as he remembers that humans do not have the same customs as angels do, but then again, why would they?  “When angels…court others, we present them with the best feather from our wings.  The other party, if accepting the courting, crafts the feather into a piece of jewelry and wears it.”
“So like an engagement ring?”
Scaramouche looks at Heizou in confusion.  “A what?”
‘Nevermind.”
Kazuha grabs Scaramouche’s face softly, a soft smile on his face.  “Why run off though?  Were you embarrassed?”
“It’s a private affair…I thought I should respect that part at least.”
Kazuha nods thoughtfully, placing a soft kiss onto Scaramouche’s forehead.  “Don’t run off like that again, alright?  At least not without telling us where you’re going.”
Scaramouche, mind sort of stuttering at the affection from Kazuha.  Sure, it has happened before, but every time he finds himself in these situations, his mind goes blank the moment any affection happens.
But Scaramouche looks up, and his mind clears.  Heizou is still staring at him with a suspicious glint in his eyes, and Scaramouche realizes that he might have to be careful dealing with Dottore and Pantalone next time.
Because there is no doubt in his mind that there will be a next time.
