Summary: Xiao rediscovers something he had long forgotten.
Words: 2k
Tumblr media
Xiao never thought that a kiss could make him feel so many things: butterflies fluttering from his throat to his lower belly. In his mouth, the taste of the other person was sweet against his tongue and made him feel light in the head, as if he had drunk too much alcohol. His hands trembled and he always tried to hold on to something so the other wouldn't notice. His knees were weak, as if they were going to fail him at any moment; and a strange heat gathered in his insides and spread to his neck, traveling to his cheeks and ears, making them turn as red as an apple. 
His mind went blank, any thoughts that could have been floating around in his head vanished, and he could only focus on the tingling he felt on his lips and the burning pain at the edges of his lungs due to lack of air… but now that he thought about it, maybe it wasn't the kiss itself, but the person who seemed to be trying to devour his lips every time. 
“Aether-!” He gasped, his hands on Aether's shoulders, pulling him closer instead of pushing him away. 
The traveler had his arms around his waist, pressing him against his warm body while he kissed Xiao desperately and frantically. Xiao could barely keep up with him; Aether's tongue writhed inside his mouth, tickling the roof of his mouth as he seemed to try to suck on Xiao's tongue. Xiao couldn't deny that, although he felt a little dizzy from lack of air, he had missed Aether's kisses deeply. 
The traveler had been away from Liyue for a long time, and even when he returned, Xiao could not meet him right away, as he was busy doing things that a yaksha had to do. Their meeting had happened no more than ten minutes ago, but as soon as they exchanged glances, their bodies were already pressed against each other. 
However, Aether really seemed hungry for Xiao. It was no longer enough for him to just kiss Xiao's mouth, Aether's kisses moved down his jaw, seeking the warmth of his neck to sink his teeth in. 
“A-Aether, h-hold on. Someone will- haa!” 
It was useless, Aether simply wasn't listening and Xiao's nervousness only increased when he felt one of Aether's hands sneaking under the hem of his skin-tight shirt, the other finding that opening on the upper part of his back. Gentle fingertips followed the edge of his shoulder blades, making him gasp and squirm. Aether touched Xiao's skin lighty, tenderly, just like a feather. His soft fingers brushed against the curve on his lower back and something fuzzy started to build in Xaio’s throat. 
“Tra-Traveler! You're n-not listening to me, I really- ack?! W-Wahait! That spot-!” 
Before he could stop himself, an airy giggle escaped his lips and they both stood still. Aether finally deigned to lift his face from Xiao's blushing neck and Xiao quickly found his golden eyes, his own wide open. 
“Wha- what did you just do?” He asked, feeling that almost uncomfortable sensation near his side that made him want to scratch the spot. 
His eyes danced from left to right, looking into Aether's, and something funny rose in his stomach when he noticed a glint of playful malice in Aether's amber pupils. 
“Are you ticklish Xiao?” A mischievous smile spread across Aether's lips and Xiao frowned.
“Ticklish?” He said the word slowly, as if savoring each letter and listening to how the two syllables sounded together. It was a funny word, if he had to admit it. “What is ‘ticklish’?” 
His question only made Aether's smile widen even more and Xiao jumped slightly when Aether's warm hands closed on his waist, making him blush even more. His own hands closed around Aether's wrists and he made an absurd attempt to push those hands away from his body. Aether giggled sweetly and that was enough to distract Xiao and let out a laugh when Aether squeezed his waist. Every hair on his body stood up as he felt that sensation run through him like electric shocks. Even though he really didn't want to, his hands pushed Aether's wrists away from his body and he looked at him with his eyes wide open and his lips trembling with a silly little smile. 
“Aether… what are you doing right now- no! N-Nohoho!” 
Xiao didn't know how, but Aether had broken free of his grip and his hands latched onto his waist again and he let out embarrassed and uncontrollable giggles as the traveler squeezed the spot over and over. The sensation made Xiao want to crawl out of his skin, those fingers woke up his nerve endings in a weird way, and Xiao couldn't make it stop. 
He wasn't sure he had ever felt this kind of sensation in his many years of existence. He was almost sure that he would remember this feeling, and yet, there was some feeling of longing swirling in his chest the more Aether did this… ‘ticklish’ thing on him. It was as if a part of his memory was under a haze, and he certainly couldn't concentrate with Aether's fingers running up his sides until they reached his ribs. 
Xiao's giggles turned into more panicked laughter and his knees could no longer support his weight and squirming. He fell into the grass beneath him and Aether followed him, still making him laugh out of his mind as he straddled Xiao's waist. Aether's fingers gently but firmly dug into each of his ribs and a second later, he felt the tips of his fingers vibrating between the spaces of each bone. 
Xiao threw his head back and his body shook with the force of his laugh. He desperately gripped Aether's arms, but he felt powerless, his strength had been drained from his body and he could only shriek between laughter what he thought Aether was doing to him: 
“W-Witchcrahahaft!” 
Aether laughed so hard, he actually had to stop tickling Xiao to hold onto his tummy. “This is not witchcraft! I'm just tickling you, Xiao!” 
Didn't he say ‘ticklish’ earlier? Xiao shook his head, breathless. He tried to crawl away, but Aether giggled and grabbed him by the hips, dragging him back and sitting on his lower back. Xiao groaned and laughter poured from his lips again when the tickling started once more, this time Aether's fingers wiggling against his lower back and the window of his shirt. Xiao cackled, arching back and clawing at the ground, trying, in vain, to escape this torment. 
Should he call it torment? It really wasn't that bad. The feeling was overwhelming, it numbed his brain and he felt like lightning was rushing through his body with every touch, also his laughter was embarrassingly loud and his tummy and sides were starting to hurt. However, Xiao couldn't say that he was hating it, on the contrary, he was ashamed to admit it to himself, but he was having fun. Although his stomach and sides hurt, it wasn't because of the force that Aether was tickling him with, his fingers were light and skillful, touching places that he didn't know could make him squeal and cackle like that. 
It was also nice to hear Aether giggling along him, his laughter was light and happy, like an excited child. To think just a couple of minutes ago he was almost eating him alive. 
“How come I didn't know you are so ticklish, Xiao? Hmm? Tell me please.”
“I cahaHAHAn’t!” 
He really couldn't. If he dared to speak, he felt like he was going to choke with his own laughter, besides, he really couldn't form any coherent thought at that moment.
“Your back is very ticklish,” Aether giggled and Xiao felt alarmed. There was something in Aether's voice, a tone that made him feel terribly nervous. “I wonder if you're also very ticklish here?” 
The sound that escaped from Xiao's mouth did not sound like him, in fact, he had no idea that he was capable of screeching like that, but when Aether pushed his warm hands under his arms and his fingers started to wiggle against his armpits– he just couldn't control himself. 
Sweet yet hysterical laughter bloomed past his lips. That maddening sensation felt incredibly intense, and Xiao could only laugh and laugh as his body became useless, his arms glued to his sides in a futile attempt to make the tickling stop or at least, slow down, but it had the opposite effect, for Aether's hands had been trapped and he moved his fingers incessantly. 
“Ah, I think I found your most ticklish spot, Xiao!” Aether chuckled above him, speaking fondly. “Your laughter is so cute! I want to listen to more!” 
‘Your laughter is so cute… I want to listen to more.’ 
Oh, now he remembered. As Aether's fingers dug under his arms, a memory came to Xiao's mind: the eldest and leader of the Yakshas, Bosacius, holding both Xiao's wrists with two pair of hands while the other pair nestled into his exposed underarms, tickling him until Xiao was crying with hysterical laughter. Xiao could hear Bosacius' voice teasing him while he mercilessly tickled his armpits, his boisterous laughter almost louder than Xiao's. Xiao remembered looking at his bright smiles and shining eyes through his teary sight. Bosacius was happy and so was Xiao. 
A wave of warmth flooded his chest and as he laughed wildly, he finally was able to remember just what this whole thing was. 
“Tihihitillahahatio!” 
“What?”
“This ihihis, eek, t-tihihitilahatio!” 
The tickling slowly came to a stop and Xiao went limp onto the soft grass, breathing heavily and feeling little tears falling down the side of his face. A silly smile pulled at the corners of his lips and he giggled brightly when Aether started poking his back and sides, causing him to roll on his back again. 
“What is titillatio, Xiao?” Aether asked, his head tilted to the side like a confused bird. Xiao's eyes looked at Aether fondly, his fingers gently brushing the other's flushed cheek. Aether nuzzled into his hand like a kitten and Xiao smiled warmly.
“Titillatio is… tickling, I guess. That was the name years ago.” Centuries ago. “I didn't know the name had changed. It had been a long while since titilatio was done to me.” 
Xiao didn't even remember the feeling, let alone the name. He had spent so many years alone, there was no way his mind was busy remembering insignificant things like that; there was also the issue of erosion in the mind… but be tried to ignore that as much as possible. 
Lost in his thoughts, he barely noticed Aether was looking at him intently and frowning. “Was that person… your partner?*
Xiao blinked a couple of times, astonished. Did he hear correctly? “What?” 
Xiao raised his eyebrows when Aether rolled his eyes. “The person that tickled you in the past! Were they your partner?” 
“What? N-No, of course not. It was just- wait… are you mad about it?” Aether looked away. “Oh, are you jealous?”
Xiao had learned about jealousy the hard way, he now recognized the emotion even in other people and to his eyes, Aether seemed really jealous at that moment. The blonde blushed up to his ears and crossed his arms over his chest, avoiding Xiao's gaze at all costs. He really was jealous, huh? 
Xiao chuckled, his hands gently holding Aether's bare waist. “Didn't you say jealousy is bad?” 
Aether made an indignant sound and Xiao let out a soft chuckle through his teeth. Feeling a weird wave of playfulness rushing through him, Xiao quickly changed their positions. It was adorably funny to see Aether's confused expression turn into one of pure laughter as Xiao started to pinch and prod his exposed waist. 
“X-Xiahaho! Dohohon't!” 
Xiao smiled lovingly, thumbs rubbing against the sides of Aether's tummy. The traveler giggled and laughed and squirmed under him and Xiao understood why people liked to tickle others. It was fun to see another laughing because of your gentle touch and if that person was Aether, it was all even better.
“I'm nohohot jehehealous! I prohohomise!” Despite his pleading, Aether didn't seem to do much to make Xiao stop.
“I do believe you're not jealous.” That was a lie. “But I actually have never tried doing titillatio to someone. How is that? Do you like it?” Aether threw his head back with bright giggles and Xiao couldn't help but also chuckle. “Am I doing it right?” 
“S-Stohohop teheasing meHE!”
Xiao laughed. Genuinely laughed. He had spent so many years alone, he had forgotten how good it felt to be with someone as kind and bright as Aether. He got to experiment a lot for the first time: having a partner, kisses, jealousy. Tickling... Even love.
Xiao smiled warmly down at Aether's laughing face, his hands weakly pawing at Xiao's hands. All those years of loneliness... perhaps they were just a small punishment to be able to enjoy the happy company of this wonderful traveler.
"You want me to tickle you more?"
"Noho! I'm s-sohohorry!"
Yes, this definitely was his reward.

TickleTober2023/Day 04 - Mask
Genshin Impact - Aether x Xiao
Tumblr media
Faced with the Yaksha’s mask, Aether tilted his head. The traveler walked around, trying to peek at Xiao’s expressions, not able to hold back his amused giggles. “Oh, Xiao, come on ~” He whined playfully, reaching out for the other and holding him by his shoulders.
But the Yaksha ignored him, crossing his arms in front of his chest and turning his gaze away, avoiding any eye contact with the blonde. Thanks to that, Aether could catch a small glimpse of the skin hidden beneath the mask and, yes, Xiao was definitely blushing. How cute.
It was merely a compliment, but it seemed that the traveler underestimated the other’s shyness. Aether wouldn’t stop smiling, walking left and right as he tried to remain in Xiao’s sight, only to the Yaksha turn his head to the opposite side again and again.
“Can you… at least talk back to me? Come on, I just said you were looking good today, Xiao…” He pouted, fiddling with his fingers as he waited for an answer to come. But Xiao didn’t seem that talkative anymore. 
Standing behind him after a couple of turns walking around him, Aether sighed, pouting as he couldn’t get the Yaksha to look at him. He hummed, noticing how Xiao’s muscles were tense, reaffirming his alert state. Those words really messed him up, huh?
“Xiao ~ Answer me, please ~” Aether said, once again, trying to approach him. Hugging him from behind, the traveler wrapped his arms around Xiao’s torso, resting his head on his shoulder. 
But there was still no answer and, to make things worse, his features were still hidden behind that mask. Aether sighed and, tired of “playing nice”, decided to do something about it. “Fine, if you are going to keep ignoring me…”
Waiting not a single more second, Aether moved his hands to Xiao's sides, digging into it with his fingers and making the Yaksha squeal in mirth. Earning the exact expected reaction from the adeptus, the traveler smiled, continuing to playfully tickle the spot.
“Are you going to keep ignoring me, Xiao?” Aether said, giggling as his victim tried to escape from his grip, giving his best efforts to keep his reaction down.
“A-Ahaether- agh, s-stohop it!” Xiao pleaded through the mask, his muffled words barely making it through the blonde’s ears. Despite the angry expression featured on the accessory, Aether could already imagine how much he was smiling underneath it.
With nimble fingers climbing up to his ribs - no matter how much he tried to protect himself from the tickling with his own arms - it was becoming harder and harder to stay still or to keep himself from laughing. “Will you keep ignoring me?”
“I-I’m nohot ignoring yohohou- ah!” Xiao gasped as the mask was suddenly lifted from his face. With one arm still around him, Aether used his free hand to take the accessory away, dropping it on the ground as he finally could see the Yaksha’s adorable face. 
“Now, that’s better,” Aether said, grinning playfully as he tilted his head to have a proper look, admiring how quickly Xiao’s cheeks turned pink.
“G-give my mask back, Aether,” he pouted, looking to the blonde with the corner of his eyes, giving up the fight.
“There is no way I’m losing your smile, Xiao ~” Aether teased, kissing his cheek lovingly.

may i humbly request xiaother......i love the idea of xiao craving touch and affection but being embarrassed about it so he'll like. try to subtly snuggle up to him or hold his hand theyre so cute
hey! thank you for sending in a request! i finished this pretty quickly teehee i actually havent written for these two before so i hope theyre not too ooc. surprisingly, i kinda struggled making xiao all sappy (even tho hes like so sweet to the traveler) ANYWAY, i hope u enjoy <33
——
xiao exhaled, quietly as he stared at aether’s hand. he.. really wanted to hold it. he looked back up at aether, sat beside him on the soft bed in xiao’s room. aether had been very busy lately so it was nice that they were able to see each other again like this. the smile on aether’s face only made the urge to touch him stronger.
he inched his finger closer as aether delved into a ramble about his adventures in fontaine, hoping he wouldn’t notice.
“and then neuvillette told us that he—“ aether paused, looking at their interlocked fingers. heat rose to xiao’s cheeks as he looked away.
“you were saying?” he asked, trying to shift the topic. after a moment, when aether was still silent, he regretted his actions and tried to pull his fingers away. aether squeezed his hand, not letting him.
“xiao, dont you want to hold my hand?” aether asked, teasingly as he poked xiao in the side, resulting in a gasp.
aether, having tickled xiao before, picked up on the reaction immediately. “oh, thats right. you’re ticklish.”
xiao stayed silent, unsure what to do or say. aether decided for him, as he exaggeratedly leaned against him, cuddling up against xiao. his heart skipped a beat. was aether going to tickle him again? strangely enough, xiao felt he wouldn’t mind.
“but where was i? oh right so neuvillette..” aether continued his story. xiao listened until another gasp slipped from his lips when aether started tracing along his arms, his sides, anywhere he could reach.
“a-aether..” xiao giggled, squirming. aether looked at him with innocence but the blush on his face told xiao he knew exactly what he was doing.
“is something wrong?” aether asked, as he squeezes xiao’s side, making him jump.
“y-yohohou knohow whahat you’re dohoing..!” at that, aether’s smile turned mischievous as he started tickling xiao on purpose.
“oh, but you won’t mind if i continue right?” he said, stopping but wiggling his fingers. xiao didn’t respond. “xiao?”
xiao averted his eyes. “no..”
“that’s what i thought,” a gentle smile was on aether’s face as he started tickling the adeptus again, resulting in a new wave of giggles that xiao would never let anyone else hear.

A/N: SINNER DEAR!! Xiao is so baby girl like omfggg, Barbatos will be done in the next post, but for now, here's the demon killer himself - Alatus!
Summary: You're feeling lost in your journey, luckily, you have the most wonderful Yaksha to cheer you up.

You were currently sitting atop the Wangshu Inn, taking in the beautiful evening sky before you, you were contempt to keep moving, to find your sister/brother at long last, but hope was beginning to diminish inside you. The once strong flames of a dragon turned into spits of ash, the fire trying desperately to rebuild itself to no avail, and that residing to you almost breaking down right then and there.
You bit your tongue to hold back tears, blinking repeatedly and looking upwards to stop any tears that threatened to pour out. You were breaking, and rather fast at that.
"Y/N?" A voice came from behind, making you jolt in surprise, but once you turned, you calmed as you saw the soft gaze of the demon conqueror infront of you, looking up at you in obvious worry, despite it only showing in his eye's. "Are you, crying?" He asked, but you were quick to respond. "No, no, I'm not! They're.. tears of joy! I'm one step closer, you know?" You respond hastily, his bright amber brown eye's staring into your teary E/C one's.
"I don't believe you." He said, he didn't intend for it to sound harsh, and you knew that, as he then holds out his arm's, surprising you a bit- no, alot. "I.. see mortals do this to one another all the time, it's okay if you don't-" You cut him off, arm's wrapping around his petite structure, causing the both of you to relax in one another's hold, his face scrunching in worry as he felt tears dampening his shoulder, yet he didn't mind it coming from you, as he just sat there, keeping eachother in close proximity. He wasn't one for giving affection, but if it meant cheering you up, he'd try absolutely anything to your cravings.
A few minutes of silence passed by, you, feeling tired from the repeated sobbing, and Xiao, who was just rubbing your back rather oddly, but you didn't mind that, you were glad that he was trying new thing's. "Now." You turn towards him, as his eye's show pity, "Tell me, Y/N, what's going on. And don't you dare attempt to lie to me." He said, running his finger's through your H/C locks, the other hand used to intertwine eachothers finger's.
At that moment, you told him the entire story, he listened to you, nodding and humming, trying to show you he was listening, which made you glad. "I see.. I'm not the best at words, Y/N, but.. If you feel like that, stop your journey for a bit, mental health comes first." He said, caressing the cheek that leaned against his small hand, you could feel the rough texture of his hands under the gloves, but either way, attention was attention.
Your senses spiked as soon as you felt a poke to your abdomen, cheeks flush as Y/N stared down at Xiao hand, that dared to prod against the soft surface. He noticed your reaction and opted to take his hand away, surprised as you took his wrists and placed his hands against your side's, making his entire face turn red at that movement alone, causing yourself to chuckle at his innocence.
"Are you sure, Y/N? I know you like me tickling you, but.. are you sure about now?" He asked, fingers twitching out of excitement as you jerk and smile, giving him a shy nod of acceptance, as he then resumes. His left hand gently squeezed at the side stuck in his touch, making you jerk away before returning into his touch, his right hand gently raking his fingertips over your stomach, making you quiver and jolt.
"X-Xiahahao!" You call out, peaking his interests, he stopped quickly, which only made you whine. You knew he was only trying to look out for you, as you smile as he looks lovingly into your eye's, "Gosh.. I'm so lucky." You speak out loud, making his entirely oake body flush red, hiding his face behind his forearm, his free hand now gently clawing at your ribs, quickly alternating to each side whenever you tried to protect one side.
"Y-You flirt.." He groans, finally bringing his other hand down to squeeze at the divets of your hip, making you buck slightly. "Aha!? Xiahahao!" No response, just more tickling, "I'm sohohorry!" Still no response, only a slight blush to his ears and nose, "You're juhust too cuhuhute not to tehease!" You giggle out, as he stopped all his movements, instead, laying ontop of you, head head rested against your heart, feeling your heart beat beneath him, noticing how rapid it was going. "Your heart only beats this fast around me." He said, before taking your hand, he kissed the back of your hand then trailed up, making you giggle until you screamed as he placed a raspberry against your neck.
"AHAH!? I'M SOHORRY!" You quickly bark out, swearing you heard him chuckle, as he kept up his ticklish attack. "I SUBMIHIT! SUBMIHIHIHIT!" Your head throws back, making you snort as he nuzzled he's hair under your chin, before finally stopping, cuddling against you.
You take a few minutes to recover, and as you do, he picks you up in his arm's, touching foreheads. "Come on, I'll let you rest."

Tickle the boredom away
You can find the summary here
A/N: Hi everyone, come state? 💚🤍❤️ (how are you?) I sincerely hope you’re fine ^_^ As you already know if you read my previous posts, I finally finished high school and I’ve been catching up with my friends and family these week (so please forgive me for the inactivity) 😅 Anyway, this fic is a request that I enjoyed writing very much, and I sincerely hope you’ll like reading it as well!! As always, suggestions and support are always appreciated. I wish you all a great week!!
DISCLAIMER: This is a tickle fic, if it's not to your taste I don't suggest you read it
Tumblr media
‘AW MAN, I’M SOOO BORED!!’ a loud whine, followed by many annoyed groans, resonated throughout the Chasm’s Bed, where six people and a flying lavender melon were stuck. Shinobu, Yelan, Yanfei, Paimon, Xiao and Aether subtly glared at Itto, who had been complaining for hours because they were currently stuck and they had nothing to do except resting up a bit. ‘I knew I should’ve brought my Onikabuto with me... that way we would’ve been able to watch a Onikabuto fight at least..!’ ‘Boss, if you had brought your Onikabuto, it would’ve been alone, so there wouldn’t have been a fight anyway’ Shinobu corrected the leader of the Arataki Gang.
‘Man you’re right... it would’ve been so sad’ the oni let out a sigh. It wasn’t his fault if that place was so boring, though!! Even eating roasted lavender melons sounded boring because the six of them had already eaten plenty and chatted by the fire. Now Xiao and the Traveller was resting, the girls were speculating about how to get out of there and Paimon... well, actually Paimon was still eating.
After a little while, Yelan called everyone’s attention ‘Guys, listen. Yanfei, Shinobu and I are going to check the whole place again to find a passage or a way to escape. You can stay here and rest a bit more, and look after the Yaksha, too. His wounds are healing, but he hasn’t completely recovered yet’ Paimon followed them immediately, saying she was tired of someone’s whines and complaints.
‘Well compadre, now it’s only the two of us and the little guy over there’ Itto’s comment was followed by Xiao’s irritated growl, as if he’d heard him. However, he was still asleep and Aether made sure that his friend didn’t wake him up.
At least for 30 minutes.
‘Hey man, look! Doesn’t it seem like he’s healed? Let’s ask him how he feels’ the taller guy made his way towards the sleeping boy. The blonde glanced at Xiao; the wounds were did look better, but that didn’t mean the Yaksha didn’t need more rest. Maybe waking him up wasn’t exactly the best idea, even though Ittp’s intentions were good. ‘Heyo, little guy... can you hear meee? Are you awake?’ the shorter guy opened his eyes and glared at the noise source in front of him, not even trying to hide his annoyance. ‘What do you want?’ he asked with a snarky tone, also because he’d been woken up
The Traveller wasn’t too worried about the situation, they were just having a conversation after all. He just needed to make sure Itto didn’t say anything inappropriate or irritating for the Yaksha and that Xiao's patience didn’t abandon him, given how short-tempered he is. Easy enough, right?
Absolutely, completely, 100% WRONG. Not even 10 minutes later, the adeptus looked like he was going to fight someone. And that someone was a certain oni. ‘Who the hell are you calling short?!’ he asked fuming. ‘Man, no offense seriously, but what are you? 4′7 or something, right? You can’t deny you’re short hehe’ ‘I’m 5′3 and my height is perfectly average. Actually I could beat you up before you manage to say Onikabito... or whatever insect you like’ Itto’s attempts to have a friendly talk with the yellow-eyed guy weren’t exactly going as Aether expected... or hoped.
Then, he suddenly had an idea to fix the situation without Shinobu having to look for a new boss for the Arataki Gang. ‘Yeah, I bet Xiao and I could win a fight against you in less the two minutes even though we’re not as tall as you’ he looked at the shorter guy, silently asking him to play along ‘I just gotta do this!’ he started squeezing the oni’s sides, making him burst into a fit of giggles, while the dark-haired guy watched the scene with a confused expression. ‘Mahan whahahat arehe yohou dohohoihing?’ although he was laughing, the red-eyed guy had an expression just as confused as Xiao’s. What did he do to deserve that?
‘I’m tickling you of course’ Aether replied with a cheerful smile, which in that context meant nothing but trouble, while digging between the ribs ‘You were so bored earlier... if you laugh for a while you won’t be bored anymore, right Xiao?’ he glanced at his friend asking him to come and help. The Yaksha rolled his eyes at the playful antics, but he also saw an opportunity to stop that constant whining, so he approached the duo, crouched down and squeezed Itto’s kneecaps and scribbled behind the area, making the oni fall down, laughing harder than before. ‘Guhuhuhuys Ihi’m seherihihiohous hehehere!! Juhuhust yohou wahahait uhuntihihil I- WAAHH nohOHot THEheherehE’ 
The blonde had taken advantage of his friend falling down to pin his left arm down and go to town all over his defenseless armpit, a spot that never failed to make the leader of the Arataki Gang squeak like a little kid. Xiao, on the other hand, wasted no time in straddling him and squeezing his hips and sides, but he needed to be extra careful to not be bucked off by Itto, who was laughing and squirming like crazy.
To make it all much worse for the poor oni, Aether was being a ball of sunshine, teasing him and laughing along with him, while Xiao was completely silent, only focused on wrecking him, which was flustering in its own way, and the white-haired guy couldn’t tell which method was making him blush the most. Better yet, which method would’ve made him blush the most, if he wasn’t the mighty leader of the Arataki Gang. ‘WhahAHAt dIHIhid Ihihihi ehehevehEHEHen doHOHoho? Ihihihi dohon’t DEHEheheseherve ThiHIHIs’ the overly dramatic comment only earned him some harder squeezes and quicker scribbles and soft scratches, which made him want to crawl out of his own skin.
‘CohohompAHAHAdrehe... hahavehe mEHEhercy ohohon meHEHE ahahat leAHAhast yohOHou- WAITWAITWAIT NOHOHOHO’ the red-eyed guy was trying to talk his way out of that situation when the Yaksha had the wonderful awful idea to skitter his ten fingers all over his tummy, his ultimate death spot that always made him howl and reduced him to a puddle of giggles.
‘Ooohh looks like someone’s boredom is gonna fade away really soon’ oh no. Itto could barely handle a set of hands on his stomach, let alone two!! However, Aether didn’t seem to care too much about it because he quickly pinned his hands down with his knees and wiggled his fingers just above the dreaded spot to build some anticipation; then, when Itto closed his eyes for a second, he descended with his hands to help his friend and the leader of the Arataki Gang found himself being tickled by twenty fingers on his worst spot.
‘THIHIHIS NAHAHAHAHAHAT FAHAHAHAHAIR COHOHOHOME OHOHOHON’ the oni let out his boisterous laughter, which brought an amused smile on the Traveller and Xiao’s faces (although the latter would never admit it). Maybe it was a bit unfair though, the blonde was tracing his abs softly but quickly, making sure to leave no spot untouched, and the shorter guy was rapidly poking his lower tummy with one hand and wiggled a finger inside his bellybutton and teased the surrounding area with the other. Itto tried so hard to kick or move his hands, but he was pinned, so he laid there and let his friend tickle him until his laughter went silent, which was sign that he’d reached his limit.
Obviously it wasn’t the first time he had a tickle fight with Aether, given his playful attitude, so the blonde knew his boundaries and stopped as soon as he noticed the silent laughter and made Xiao do the same. Itto took some deep breaths and rubbed his torso to get rid of the ghost tickles, then after he recovered, surprisingly quickly, he sat up and said ‘Whew..! That one was a real match’ while smiling widely. ‘So, did you have fun?’ the Traveller asked while smiling cheerfully as well. ‘Ummm... I still feel a bit bored actually’ the taller guy replied. 
His friend immediately got the hint and pounced on him again, ready for the second round.
‘Gotcha!’ Itto exclaimed while he caught a very much surprised Aether with one hand and scooped up Xiao with the other, bringing them both on his lap. ‘Let’s see how you like this’ he started squeezing the Yaksha’s side with the hand that was holding him and blew countless raspberries on the blonde’s tummy, right over the bellybutton. Giggles began to pour out from both guys, who were having fun, despite being still stuck (although one of them would never admit that).
Things got a turn when Aether managed to counterattack, which made him get the upper hand, but he started getting both Itto and Xiao, who was tickling both of them with one hand, too. Itto was defending himself, too, and he had the advantage of knowing Aether’s death spot and soon after, thanks to the blonde, he found out Xiao’s. Before they knew it, they got into a huge tickle fight that ended with a tie, since there was too much confusion to determine a winner.
When the girls got back, worried because of the strange noises and howls that were echoing throughout the whole place, they found the trio sound asleep. The oni was sitting up with his back against the wall, Aether’s head was laying on Itto’s lap and Xiao was resting his own head on the taller guy’s shoulder. All three of them had a soft smile on their faces, especially Itto, who finally wasn’t bored anymore.
And he was going to think twice before complaining again... maybe.

Hm.
DAY 2: Shriek
happy tickletober <3
ship: xiaoven
words: 1,013
Summary: Venti should probably keep his voice down if he doesn't want to attract more trouble.
READ ON AO3
[A/N: day 2 <3 im following my own tickletober prompt list, so my prompts will be different from alot of others'! hope you still like this one :P]
“Don’t flinch, you’ll make it worse.”
Venti sucked in a quick breath through his teeth, retracting his wrist from Xiao’s hand. “Seriously, Xiao, I’m ok.” He is, really, it’s just a scratch. An annoying scratch that’s going to get in the way of his lyre playing for the rest of the day, but by tomorrow it will be fine. 
Xiao doesn’t seem convinced, but sighs anyway. “If you say so.”
Venti and Xiao had seen earlier in the day that Aether had been running from one side of Liyue to the other just to finish some commissions. He looked incredibly tired, and Venti offered them both to do his last one so he wouldn't have to return back to Dihua Marsh and could rest instead.
“Really?” Aether had said, practically beaming. “That would be a great help! Thanks guys!”
Truthfully, Venti hadn’t asked Xiao if he was down to help, and at first it didn’t seem like he was. After seeing Aether’s face though, Xiao let a small fond smile slip onto his face and nodded his agreement. “Please, allow us.”
The commission was to defeat a ruin guard. Simple enough, except killing the one ended up angering a few more in the area without either of the vision holders noticing. Just as they were about to finish the commission, Venti was nearly hit by a homing missile.
“Barbados!” Xiao had yelled, appearing by his side just in time to pull him out of the way.
Venti had smiled up at Xiao. “My hero.”
“Shut up.” So quick to blush…
The ensuing fight led them both to this point. The worst of the injuries were a few soon-to-be bruises on Xiao’s arm and Venti’s wrist scratch, but Xiao was determined to make sure Venti wasn’t hurt beyond that.
“Is this necessary?” Venti asks, raising an eyebrow at the yaksha, who has removed Venti’s cap in favor of checking his head for any lumps or bumps. “Yes.” He says, seriously. It makes Venti giggle.
Xiao continues checking everywhere, eventually making his way to Venti’s waist. “Alright, if you really are fi-”
“Ah!”
They both freeze. Venti steps away, rubbing his side and huffing out a nervous laugh. “Sorry, that-”
“You’re injured.”
“Huh?” Venti tilts his head. “Oh! No! I’m really not Xiao, I-”
“Let me see.” Xiao says sternly, walking towards Venti as the other backs away slowly. “Venti, if you are injured I have to see.”
“But I’m not!” Venti whines, covering his sides. He’s clearly not convincing enough, because Xiao reaches out to hold him by the hips and inspect his sides. To Venti's credit, he does try to stay relatively quiet, the key word being ‘try’. He positively shrieks trying to jump back but not getting very far with Xiao’s vice-like grip on him. “X-xiao! I’m fi- AH!”
“Clearly you are not- can you stay still?” Xiao sounds a bit annoyed, reaching to pull the tie on his corset off. “I need to see the injury.”
“It’s not an injury!” 
Xiao glares a bit and Venti has to slap his hand over his own mouth to keep from helping again when Xiao gives his side, no longer adorned with his corset, a particularly firm squeeze. 
Venti, once again, shrieks. “OKAY! Okay, lehehets be done now ohokay?” He tries to squirm, but Xiao stops him.
“Why?”
“...huh?”
Xiao blinks. “Why should I stop?”
Venti feels his face start to heat up. “Well, because…just because.”
“It tickles?” Xiao asks, blatantly. Venti chokes, eyes widening, and Xiao just stares. “Right? That’s why you are yelling?”
“I wasn't yelling.”
“Yes you were.” To prove his point, Xiao wiggles his fingers against Venti’s sides, and the bard yelps, grabbing the other’s wrists. “See? Yelling. People are supposed to laugh when they’re tickled.”
Venti scoffs. “Yeah, well. Maybe if you were actually tickling me properly, I’d laugh.” A pause. “No. Xiao-”
“Hm?”
“That is not an invitation.”
“Hm.”
“Xiao, please. Listen to me. What’re you- ah! Nohoho!” Xiao’s fingers start scribbling over Venti’s sides. Not only does it send him into hysterics, but Venti slowly falls to the ground trying to cover his sides. Xiao simply sits next to him, wrapping an arm around his back and pulling him close. 
“XIAHAHO PLEHEHEASE!” Venti shrieks, pushing as hard as he can against Xiao’s hands on his sides to no avail. Xiao had always been stronger than him, even more so when Venti is…incapacited such as this. “STOHOHOP IHIHIT!”
“Hm.” Xiao hummed, slowing down his fingers and tilting his head to make eye contact with the bard. “You’ll attract enemies if you continue to scream.”
Venti’s loud screeching had died down to more normal levels of laughter, allowing him to take a few breaths. “Nohohot my fahahault!” He whines, still pushing at Xiao’s hands. “Stohohop it- it tihihickles!”
“Clearly.” Xiao sounds deadpan, but Venti can see the small fond smile forming on his lips. It makes everything all the more flustering, and makes Venti’s heart skip a little beat. In a sudden burst of energy, he surges forward to place a chaste kiss on the yaksha’s lips.
Xiao stills, his hands go from scratching lightly at Venti’s sides to holding his hips firmly to kiss him again before he can pull away. Venti smiles against the kiss, throwing his own arms around Xiao’s shoulders and climbing into his lap fully. He loves moments like this, soft moments full of laughter and smiles and warm feelings, and he knows Xiao does too. 
Xiao is, of course, still a menace, and he kneads a little into Venti’s hips causing him to squeak and pull back. Xiao places light kisses on Venti’s face as the bard puts very little energy into pushing at his chest to get away. “Ohohkay thats enohohough…” Venti says, finally wrapping his hands around the other’s wrists and gently pulling them away. “We should get back and turn this commission in for Aether.”
Xiao nods. “Yes.” He leans in, gripping Venti’s chin lightly and pulls his face close enough that their lips are practically touching. “Later.”

GENSHIN MEN & LETTING YOU TRACE THEIR SCARS.
characters. xiao zhongli diluc kaeya childe scara x gn!reader genre. romantic fluff. an. i love them ur honour :3 | please reblog!! im getting back into writing and reblogs with tags and comments will make me want to write more :D
xiao
it's a big deal – don't tease him, please treat him with care. xiao allowing you to see the marks of his past is not something he takes lightly ... you're special. he trusts you. the scars haven't healed yet and the scars will not heal. trace his back lightly and watch as he winces; please, hold him gently. perhaps for the first time in eons, something wet drips down xiao's face.
zhongli
zhongli lets you see his scars – it's not something he hides, but something he trophies as a reminder of his old life. he's not the old geo archon anymore, but he smiles while fondly regaling his tales of old, victorious battles. each scar tells a story – and with each scar you point at, he answers with a soft hint of bittersweetness, melancholy, and regret.
diluc
goes completely silent the minute you touch it. he's not mad – don't worry, but it's such a sacred part of himself that he reels when he realises that he's let someone in so much to this point. it'll take him a while to get used to it; please don't mix his confusion for anger. he loves you, even though it's hard for him to comprehend because your love is blinding.
kaeya
kaeya tries to shrug it off. it's not every day he feels that sour twinge of vulnerability inside – please stay calm, please don't make a big deal out of it – if he freezes, don't be taken aback. touching the fragments of his past is frightening, so treat him with the love and care as you would with a little animal. kaeya certainly feels like one, sometimes.
childe
his breath hitches – it's ticklish, but also... electrifying. no one has ever drawn stars around his scars before. it's exciting, even – to feel his triumphs in a carefully handled light. he's always shown it off loudly and proudly, but for his wounds to be treated delicately ... it's an unfamiliar feeling. but nothing is every truly unfamiliar when it comes to you.
scaramouche
he doesn't enjoy it at first. he grumbles, tching in annoyance – why is this necessary? you've seen it plenty of times. scara is taken aback by how quickly you withdraw your hand – scara's body is a temple, and you don't want to overstay your welcome after finally being let in. perhaps you're different, and perhaps... he likes the warmth of your touch.

I think u were sent by the heavens BECAUSE THE HICKEYS/NECK KISSES ONE WAS TOP TIER?? (mwah 😩👌) I WAS PRACTICALLY DYING WHILE READING THEM, CAN U PLEASE DO KAZUHA AND SCARAMOUCHE I WOULD LITTERALLY BUILD A SHRINE FOR YOU 🧎🧎
Tumblr media Tumblr media
part one (albedo, thoma, xiao)
authors note ⊱ sorry this took me so long ive had this in my drafts for months (crying)
characters ⊱ kazuha, scaramouche
warnings ⊱ completely safe! enjoy!
rating ⊱ themes of smut, mdni / view discretion advised
Tumblr media
kazuha
he thinks neck kisses are sweet, romantic, intimate; all three being things he enjoys. and it also leaves him a little heated, itching with desire
the moment your mouth is over his throat he’s letting out an airy giggle, finding your lips ticklish. he always eagerly tilts his chin up, offering his neck over like it’s nothing, even though it truly isn’t; it’s a very vulnerable place, but perhaps that is why he gives it so easily
but it isn’t long before he gets a little noisy, breathy sighs turning into soft “ah”s, shivering with every wet noise, shaking with every suck
he sometimes bites his lip, but his entire face will always flush a rosy red
and this is certainly one way to get him riled up, but he isn’t really much of a pillow princess unless you order him to be
the moment you start displaying actions like this, he’s seeking you out, too, eager for more, wanting to touch
he’ll brush hair behind your face, cradle your head as you sink your teeth and he gasps, or whine as you press a leg between his thighs
but the best part is when he can find an opening to do the same, bringing one of your arms to his mouth, kissing sensually at your wrist, turning the tables until it’s your throat against his lips
he loves, loves, loves being marked, and is not embarrassed about them
he will be a little shy and blush, but he’s not ashamed of them at all. if anything, he looks a little pleased someone noticed, given he’s pretty proud of you and your relationship with him
scaramouche
the thing about scaramouche + neck kisses is that usually it = biting
and he’s the one biting you most of the time, if you allow it
don’t get it all wrong; it can just as easily be affectionate as it can be erotic. he has a habit of nipping idly at your fingertips and then sucking them, staring up at you through strands of soft hair and pretty lashes, eyes sometimes set into a piercing glare
it’s almost like a ‘stimming’ action: he wants to sink his teeth into your shoulder just to feel it, or to bite up the length of your throat just to fixate on the suction of your skin in his mouth or the marks that he can taste along his tongue; memorizing how it feels, almost desperate
neck kisses on their own, towards him, though: well, he wants to be bitten back
you have to be rough with him. this isn’t some pretty little fairytale where you can make him melt with just an affectionate peck to the throat. no, no. it has to be sensual. you have to work for it.
if you want to leave him gasping and shuddering into you, grasping for you with his fingernails, leaving scratches along your arms, then you have to kiss and suck and bite like he’s your last meal, like you’re trying to seduce him, or else all you’re getting is a blank face and a shrug; he doesn’t respond otherwise
he’s not the type that just will get kissed and then, boom, you have him melting over your lap. 
it needs a little more: he needs the depth of the interaction, he needs teeth and he needs tongue, he needs you to suck his skin like you mean it, like you’re trying to eat him alive, in a way that is nearly romantic, and painfully intimate, but in a way that hurts (which is what he wants)
talk dirty to him, rough by his ear, and it adds onto it
mouth at his collarbone with the intensity of someone eating him out, and he’s shaking; dig into his throat, and he’s rocking his hips into yours with a grunted growl between his teeth
and if you’re not leaving hickeys, what’s the point? he wants you to go all in or don’t go for it at all
no one really notices when he has any, since he wears sleeveless turtlenecks, which covers the general hotspots; if anyone did notice, though, he gets unexpectedly angry and grumpy and embarrassed, all at once

The romantic things he does
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think everyone should have some love too between all the lust<3
Genre: fluff + NSFW
Pairs: All Genshin men (i write for) x FEM!reader
Warning: NSFW, eating out, penetration, overall lovely sex<3
Word count: 1429 words
Summary: Romantic things they do in the bedroom
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Compliment you/praise you: Thoma, Kaveh, Kazuha, Venti, Albedo
It’s the way he looks at you, it makes your heart melt while he makes love to you. The way he knows how to make you feel good and make you feel weak under him. The way his hands roam over your body, seeking more and more contact and the way his mouth speaks of such sweet words. It’s always so perfect to you... “You’re doing so good~” He says, showing you a soft smile before giving your lips another soft kiss.
Your heart skips a beat when you feel his lips on your neck again, giving you love bites here and there for everyone to see. He loves showing you off to others, he loves letting them know you’re his and despite how it can possibly make you or him shy in the process, it’s all worth it. You squirm and let out a loud moan when you feel his cock hitting your g-spot again, this position does seem to hit it easier than usual. His eyes lighten up, licking his lips before pressing a kiss on your cheek. “You’re so gorgeous.. You’re so good to me.” He speaks out, using one of his soft tones, reassuring you how good you’re doing once again.
Slowly you feel your climax coming, his slow trusts combined with his fingers rubbing your clit makes you feel so loved and cared for. All because he’s taking his time with you, showing you the love you deserve and you cant ask for more then that. “You feel so good around me, I love you so much.”
Giving your body a lot of kisses/love bites: Itto, Kazuha, Kaveh, Heizou, Venti, Childe, Diluc, Thoma
He’s so slow with you today, being sure to give your body the smooches it deserves. Your skin feels slightly ticklish when his warm breath hits your skin. Goosebumps starts to form on your body to which he chuckles slightly, he knows he’s doing a good job when you’re getting so wet from his simple kisses all over your body. But who wouldn’t want their body to be worshipped? “Your stomach skin is so soft.” He tells you, touching your stomach with his fingers before laying yet another kiss on it. You’re feeling exposed below your boyfriend, but you know you’re safe in his arms. Your cheeks flush a darker shade when you feel his kisses trail down to your legs. “These also deserve love, don’t they?” You hear him chuckle once again before you feel his lips continue to kiss your skin and paint your blank canvas with small love bites.
He kisses all your perfections and imperfections, all your smooth skin and all your blemishes. It’s simply because he loves it all and he loves you. To him, your imperfections are perfect as well and he’s always sure to tell you that every single time. “Y/N... You’re so wet~ Is it just because I’m giving your body kisses and love bites?” You feel your cheeks warm up and of course he notices that too.
“Don’t worry, I’m just glad you’re enjoying this as much as I am. You deserve to be kissed everywhere.”
Aftercare no matter what: Kazuha, Kaveh, Itto, Scaramouche/wanderer, Heizou, Xiao, tighnari
Despite how rough he can be sometimes, he seems to know pretty damn well how to take care of you afterwards. Even if there are nights when it’s just pure lust, he’s sure to end it with taking care of you and your body. He gives you cuddles and a kiss afterwards to reassure you he still loves and cares about you, that lust isn’t all he feels for you. It always seems to make you warm inside, knowing he will stay despite how rough he might have been in the bedroom.
You watch how he leaves the bedroom only to come back later with a clean wet cloth to help clean you up as well. Yes, he’s sometimes rather rough and yes, he also sometimes forgets how to end a night properly when he’s extremely tired. But despite all of that, he always finds some type of way to end the night with love and not lust. You sit up slowly, groaning once you feel your muscles hurt from the intense climaxes you experienced. “Lie down, I’ll help you clean up.” You raise your eyebrow once he told you to lie back down, but you lie down as he told you to do. “You know I can wash up myself right? It’s okay, it’s just a little muscle pain, nothing I can’t handle.”
You hear him chuckle softly and feel the wet cloth touching your body, wiping off the sweat and drops of cum he spilled on your body. “It’s not that I don’t think you can handle it yourself but I was pretty rough so let me just do this okay? Stop questioning it and just enjoy.”
You are left speechless for a hot minute before finally replying back: “Thank you..”
“Don’t mention it.”
Focussing on you first(1 or multiple rounds): Kazuha, Zhongli, Diluc, Thoma, Xiao, Cyno
This sweetheart always seems to find pleasure and enjoyment in simply making you feel good first. However romantic or lustful the night is, he always wants to start with you first and make you feel good first. Whether he makes you feel good first with his fingers, his lips or his tongue, he simply doesn’t care as long as you feel good.
You feel his tongue flick your clit gently, making you mewl. Your hand reaches forward and your fingers tangle themselves in his hair, pulling softly when he flicks his tongue yet again. “Do you want me to do more?” He says with a teasing tone. You can’t help but nod and tuck on his hair a little harder. “Please.. yes.”
Before you can say another word, his lips wrap gently around your clit and he starts to suck on it. His fingers teasingly massage your entrance, pushing only the tip of his middle finger in every once in a while. Your moans fill the room, your toes curling every time his tongue flicks your clit again and again, it just feels so good. Once he notices your mewling and moaning getting louder only then does he push one of his fingers in. Your other hand grabs onto the bedsheets, toes curling once again when you feel your climax getting closer and closer. He adds another digit inside, moving them in and out slowly and curling them almost perfectly to hit your g-spot over and over again.
Your mouth agape, your climax building up even more while the moans leave your throat and lips more dry. Eventually your grip on his hair tightens, your cunt clenching around his 2 digits before you cum on them. He lets you finish your orgasm before slowly removing his lips from your clit and his fingers from your entrance. “Did that feel good? We’re not done yet though, I hope you still have energy left for more~”
Romantically sets up candles & other romantic things as a surprise: Kazuha, Gorou, Albedo, Xiao, Tighnari
It doesn’t happen all the time but when it does happen you always feel so extremely thankful. The way you come to the bedroom and find the room filled with cute lit up candles and flower petals covering the floor and the bed, always ends up as a surprise to you. It’s a romantic surprise you will never reject. Your boyfriend also enters the room looking slightly nervous. It’s not that he’s nervous because you might not like it, he’s nervous because it might be a wrong time to have done this for you. Yet the moment he sees your smile show up brightly on your face, he knew he did good. “You did this for me? Why even?” You ask him. You clearly hear the surprise and happiness in the tone of your voice.
“I don’t know.. I wanted to surprise you once and thought today was the perfect day to do this for you.”
You feel your cheeks hurt from smiling so much. He really went out of his way to give you such a romantic surprise and you can’t be more thankful. “This is lovely,, You didn’t have to do this but thank you so much. It’s beautiful.”
“I’m so glad.” He wasn’t sure how to take the first step now after surprising you like this. All he could think about was kissing you but how should he? Yet when he turns around he’s already met with your sweet lips on his own. His hands hold your waist while he kisses you back, enjoying the excitement you show through your kissing. I guess his surprise was a success!
Tumblr media
Thank you for reading! <3
Much love,
Angel

◇ characters ◇ zhongli, xiao, childe, al haitham, tighnari, kazuha, cyno, scaramouche, diluc
◇ tags ◇ more teeth-rotting floof what did you expect, slightly suggestive (al haitham)
◇ note ◇ translated to english, means “adorable” or “cute”
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 ⬙ 𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡
Tumblr media
some (or in some of these cases, most) people wouldn't associate the word “cute” with your boyfriend, but you beg to differ.
Tumblr media
the way he just hovers and lingers over you whenever he wants your company but doesn’t want to disturb you. if you keep ignoring him, he wouldn’t even realize it himself, but he’ll give you a wet puppy (hatchling?) look. at first, you might have thought that your eyes were playing tricks on you, but if you glance through the mirror - yup, there it is. best abandon whatever you’re doing and give him some attention now.
Ꮺ 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 — 9/10
Tumblr media
once in a while, upon your continuous insistence, xiao will transform into his bird form. a tiny little thing, with magical blue-green feathers and a darker color on his beak, his signature golden eyes no longer catlike but beady-looking. his favorite nest? the top of your head. yes, he will peck anyone who troubles you without hesitation. yes, he will tuck his head under his wings when he sleeps. and yes, he absolutely enjoys the head pats and chin scratches you give him while he's in this form.
Ꮺ 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 — 10/10
Tumblr media
drunk kazuha and severely sleepy kazuha has one thing in common: they’re utterly, completely, earth-shatteringly endearing. he’s whinier, more giggly than normal, and is very easily entertained by the slightest things. the simplest action like you booping his nose can instantly make a loopy smile spread across his lips and a breathy giggle escape his throat. oh, and did i tell you that he’s more honest and needier than usual in these states, too?
Ꮺ 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 — 9.9/10
Tumblr media
when he pouts and whines and pouts and whines and burrows his face onto your stomach like a cat. maybe you didn't give him enough cuddles? forgot to give him his morning kiss? you’re not too sure, but you’re very sure that the way he puffs his cheeks as he gives you an expectant look is just plain adorable.
Ꮺ 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 — 9.5/10
Tumblr media
this big, stoic-looking man has no weakness…. well, two weaknesses. the first one being you, and the second one being tickle fights. yes, he’s ticklish. yes, you probably discovered this because of kaeya’s big mouth. yes, you most definitely should test the theory. and if you have the physical abilities to catch up with the darknight hero, you might even be able to see a breathless, teary-eyed diluc laughing and almost choking on his own spit because he’s struggling to hold back his laughter as your fingers work their magic on that specific spot on his sides.
Ꮺ 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 — 7/10
Tumblr media
the momentary drop in his expression as you catch him off guard on one of his rare days is truly a sight to remember. his eyes widening a fraction and his lips parting a tad, body flinching and frozen as his brain tries to kickstart and amend his reaction to a more subdued one. how does one achieve this seemingly impossible feat, you ask? well... either you do something entirely stupid (please note that you might be subjected to a two hours lecture after this) or you do something entirely inappropriate (like pulling him into a kiss in broad daylight in public, but then again, you might regret the consequences later)
Ꮺ 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 — 6.5/10
Tumblr media
his ears, his ears, his ears. they’re sometimes even more expressive than his expressions, it’s worth dedicating an entire journal to observe and document their movements. his fox instincts are also very adorable, especially when he’s unconsciously trying to groom his ears and tails whenever his guard is down and he thinks that no one’s around. not many things can rival that endearingness... except perhaps the sight of the sulky pout on his lips when he presents himself to you after his grooming session and you don’t comment on it.
Ꮺ 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 — 8/10
Tumblr media
when you reply to his bad joke with another bad joke. he’s so lost. and it shows in the way his eyes widen as he stares at you silently, head tilted a tad to the sides, his lips apart. you can literally hear the neurons in his brain working overtime to try and decipher your words. and the confused-slash-slightly-embarrassed lilt of his voice as he asks you to explain? it’s guaranteed to make you want to pinch his cheeks and kiss his nose.
Ꮺ 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 — 8.5/10
Tumblr media
yeah no, there’s nothing cute about this prickly man…… unless. unless you manage to be the love of his life and earn his complete trust. it’ll take you years and the stars need to align perfectly and you'll need the blessings of all seven archons, but you might get the chance to see the rarest phenomenon in all of teyvat: a sleepy scaramouche, woken up from his slumber, clinging desperately to you when he senses you moving away from him on the bed. he looks like a cat that fell into the bathtub and is only halfway dried with all his hair sticking all over the place like that, but the cutest thing has to be the sleepy pout and the soft whines of “mm, stay with me please…”

Hehe, how about you choose a lee for back tickles! Ler is prob aether or lumine <33
Why not both with Xiao again~
Tumblr media
"I'm telling you, Lumine," Aether said, trying to reason with his sister. "Xiao is clearly more ticklish on his shoulder blades!" Lumine sighed, shaking her head softly. "Onii-chan, I think you're a bit blind," she said, arching an eyebrow. "Xiao is way more ticklish on his lower back? He always laughs his head off when I tickle him there!" Aether growled, exasperated. "No! I'm saying that-
"You bohohoth, STAHAHAP!" Xiao shrieked with laughter, squirming like a little snake as he tried to push the siblings off of him. "I cahahahan't! I reheheally cahahahan't!" He cackled, feeling fingers skittering all over his back. Some wiggling against his shoulder blades and others scribbling on his lower back and then suddenly a few fluttering down his spine, making him squirm and kick his legs.
Xiao was almost sure he could hear their soft giggles as they tickled his back away. "Xiao, if you keep laughing like this every time we touch you, we can't figure out where's your weak spot!" Aether nagged, pinching the edges of Xiao's shoulder blades, making him throw his head back with nearly hysterical laughter. "Oh, did you see that, Lumine?! He laughed really loud!" Aether said excited, pinching that spot over an over. "Huh? Hey, let me try! So was it here?" Lumine asked, her fingers gently digging in, making Xiao jolt. "PLEHEHEASE! It's too bahahad!" Lumine pouted, "I guess you won, onii-chan."

Tumblr media
;; KAVEH
not again.
you were his but right now, death seems to hold on to your hand as if you were never his own, the half of him, his heart and his soul. they cannot take you from him, not again, not you—why does he always someone dear to him? why does it have to be you?
“how about a house on top of the hills or the mountains?” you say over the warm beverage that you held in between your hands and a short sound of laughter escapes him, “wouldn’t that be dangerous? a landslide could occur while we’re inside our home.”
“at least we’re going to die together, right?” he pauses, turning around to meet your tender gaze and he answered with a small smile on his lips. “that is romantic but i would rather grow old with you and die together by natural causes.”
“i can’t fight anymore. i’m… tired.” you muttered, loud enough for him to hear, as you could only stare at the same boring ceiling—he insisted that it was beautiful by the time this very home was built but if you were to always see it, wouldn’t you be tired of its beauty?—and lay on the soft bed. it’s almost like you were a corpse and oftentimes, the thought of death being the kindest thing for the both of you two occurs in your head.
“don’t say that, please…”
you couldn’t live until you were old and frail with him but even so, you were happy. you were happy that you got to meet him, you were happy that someone as lovely as him was willing to kiss your scars gently as if all that you were was a fragile being. in the short amount of time you have spent together with him, he made you the happiest, the most loved, the most cherished, he made you feel alive.
“i don’t care where we are as long as i’m there with you.” he murmurs against your lips, a pretty shade of pink and smiling. you tangle your fingers in the strands of his blonde hair, feeling his breath fan your skin and it was ticklish yet comforting at the same. “what if you’re not there?”
he presses yet another kiss, a short one but the sweetness lingered on your own when he parted. “i will be there, always, holding your hand.”
“i’m getting sleepy, kaveh…”
he chokes on his own sob, hand coming up to hold your own and intertwine it with his. he squeezed it rather softly and you tried to do the same but there was nothing left in you, just a slow heart and a weak body that is holding on to the faint light that you call life. “p-please, hold on a little much longer, okay? i’ll find a cure, i’ll find the medicine for you so please—stay awake.”
“i can’t—i’m sorry I won't be there until the end.”
“but i—i love you so much, i love you. please always remember that, kaveh.” he wasn’t even given the chance to answer when you had already closed your eyes and anything he would say at that point will not reach you.
as your hand loosens and slips off his hold, so does he falls to the floor. nothing could have prepared him for your last goodbye.
Tumblr media
;; WANDERER
“i have a confession to make.”
you spoke weakly, voice nearing to a whisper, a testament to your state, and in contrast to your loosening grip on his hand, he holds you rather tightly as if you’re going to be taken away from him—a denial, eyes choosing to be blind to avoid facing the dreadful truth. “shut up, stop acting like you’re going to die!”
he continued, holding back a sob, “you are not going to die.” you never failed to notice the smallest falter in his expression—his crumpled expression relaxing into a soft one when he sees you, the small and genuine smile tugging on his lips, and right now, especially at this moment when his voice cracked and softened while speaking. he had already expected the moment when you’ll leave him, he was a puppet that can live long and you were just a mortal, a weak one. he was going to outlive you but why? why does it have to be this soon?
“you can tell me your confession later so please…”
but you knew better than that, you know there wasn’t going to be a later for both of you—maybe for him and only for him—, you weren’t foolish to not know that, death was already waiting for you with an open door but he was still tugging and holding on to your hand.
“i—i love you, kuni.”
he doesn’t respond, only holding his tongue back as he brings your hand to his lips and presses a long kiss on it but you were numb, you were already feeling numb and you hate how much his warmth was slipping off you, you hate how you couldn’t feel him underneath your touch, you hate that you’re dying right now and you don’t get to live your fullest with him.
“i love you, say it back, please?” a sad smile engulfs your lips as you try to meet his eyes with your unfocused gaze, was it the tears or was it the fact that your consciousness is fading off you?
“i—i love you. i love you, i love you, so please just stop talking, just stop it.” if you truly love him, you’ll stay. “don’t—“ his voice breaks out into a sob, tears that he had been holding back since earlier came like a waterfall. to love is to stay, is to be with him.
but you didn’t, you couldn’t, and for the last, you mouth those three words at him with a smile on your face, feeling your body going limp as your eyes closed.
he whispers, “—don’t leave me,” to the ghost of you.
Tumblr media
;; XIAO
thoughts still continued to haunt his mind every time the memory resurfaces on a silent cold morning: if only he was a second early, if only he was there, if only he was able to protect you. if only he wasn’t so foolish.
“xiao.”
he could still recall your voice and the way you called out to his name, it was distant, almost seemed to be fading and everything started to piece together into the sight before him as soon as the environment changed when he answered to your feeble call of his name.
it looks like a fight has occurred, the scent of it wafting to his senses—it reeks of blood, it reeks of death, and his frightened gaze laid on your figure on the cold ground, almost lifeless.
he calls out to your name and in contrast to your soft voice, his was audible, loud enough to keep you holding on the last strand of your slipping consciousness. it was a shout, deriving from panic and fear, and you noticed yourself being picked up by a pair of arms, familiar ones soon after.
“xiao…?”
“i’m here, don’t talk. i’m going to find you some hel—“
you quickly interrupted him with a cough, blood sputtering out of your mouth as you did, and his eyes widened, a breath getting stuck on his throat. and just for a brief moment, he saw his world crumble down seeing that rude warm liquid staining your clothes. his body shook, he was all too familiar with this sight, all too familiar with the scene—he had taken many lives in the battlefield to not recognize the death that seeps into your ragged breath.
and he yields to his crumbling resolve because even if he chooses to deny what is happening, it still won’t stop you from dying. he wanted to scold you, he wanted to reprimand you for putting yourself in danger, but that’s not what you needed, not when all you needed was him and his comfort in your last.
“why…?” was all he could say as he dropped to the floor, tear-stained eyes clouding his vision while he holds you close. you knew what he was asking and you knew the answer to it but you couldn’t bring yourself to tell him—if ever he’ll learn the reason, he’ll blame myself and you don’t want that, you don’t want him to be in such misery when it wasn’t his fault that he wasn’t there.
“you’re here… thank you.” and with all the strength left in you, you spoke to him in a low voice, a smile plastered on your blood-stained lips, before your vision dims and you lay limp in his hold; he could only cradle your head closer to him as weak sobs started to escape his lips.
if only.

Lumine was resting ontop a hill, having a box of freshly plated almond tofu inside oh it, shaped of a heart, it costed her extra money to get it done that way, but anything was worth it for her adeptus. As the sun started to set, that's when she knew it was the perfect moment, taking a subtle breath before calling out, "Xiao!" She called out, and just like that, he appeared infront of her, polearm in hand as he looked around, "You called?" He said, his tone serious, only for him to almost drop his polearm as he looked at Lumine, her blonde hair gently flowing as the breeze lifted it nicely, her smile warmer then the flames of a pyro abyss mage, he could feel his entire body melt against her as her hand reached out to grab his hand, bringing him down to sit beside her. The two stared at the sunsey, taking in the lovely sight, Xiao couldn't help but flush and cover his cheek as Lumine planted a kiss against it, making her giggle.
"You're so adorable, my xiao-meow~" She cooed, she knew the name made no sense, but she said it anyways, only to plant another kiss on his other cheek, watching as Xiao's sleeved arm fovered his face, hiding the most wobbly of smiles that emerged from him. "Look at you, you're just like a little kitty cat, I wonder if you also would like a scratching post!" She teased, having an unexpected turn of events as he turned to her, a playful glint in his eye, "Oh, but I do." He said, "Pardon me, wha-AGH!?" She yelped, feeling Xiao's hands gently squeeze at her thighs, her squeak quickly turned into large amounts of squirming and breathy laughter, Xiao had always thought her laughter was soothing to him, almost like he'd be sent to a trance by her helpless giggles. She couldn't help but flush as he leaned in and kissed her lips cheekily, making her be rhe one to cover her face.
"Heh, how cute." He said, resting his cheek against his hand, she could swear his eye's body illuminated with little heart's whenever he saw her like this, but now she couldn't help but look at the revealed skin on the back of his clothes, showing his shoulder blades and a bit of his spine.
"Hey Xiao, why is your clothes like that on the back?" She asked, scooting closer, "That? It's so I don't swe-EH!? Ahah, w-what ahare you doing?" He asked, he didn't think she'd trace her index finger under his shoulder blade, the area tensing a bit as she traced the sensitive area, "Oh? What's wrong?" She asked, her tone shifting from curiosity to mischief, using her other hand to scribble at the middle, making him arch away, "L-Luhumine!? Wahait! Wahahait!" He called, feeling himself hunch over.
He tried to crawl away, only for Lumine to wrap her arm's around his middle, blowing at his ear to make him scrunch his shoulder's up, "You're so cute~" She chorused, a hand tracing heart's against the windowed area on his back, making him shiver, yet he couldn't help but lean against the feeling.
Lumine caught this and awed at him, kissing the back of his neck, watching him duck his head back as she went to a stop, giving him the almond tofu, "Happy Valentine's Day, Xiao." She smiled, flushing as Xiao kissed her before smiling back, taking the almond tofu, grateful. "Happy Valentine's Day, Lumine."

Turn that frown upside down
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Hi everyone, how are you doing? Spero vada tutto bene 💚🤍❤️ (I hope everything’s alright). Today’s fic was requested by an anon, who I thank very much because I’ve wanted to write lee!Xiao for ages, but I never had a good idea. I’m pretty satisfied with this one, though, and I hope you all will enjoy it too. Suggestions and/or support are always appreciated ^_^ Stay hydrated and enjoy the fic!!
DISCLAIMER: This is a tickle fic, if it’s not to your taste, I don’t suggest you read it
WARNING: A light spoiler of the new quest
Tumblr media
'No, Rex Lapis. This isn’t a good idea at all’ Xiao’s voice was calm, but it was clear that he was irritated at the idea of meeting with Yanfei, Yelan and Aether for lunch and to show Itto and Shinobu around Liyue. Zhongli was invited, too, because his knowledge would’ve been extremely useful to narrate the story of the city and the harbor (and also for his secret contribution in the Chasm), but the yaksha didn’t want to hear anything about it. ‘I have no intention of meeting up with the others, especially with that noisy tall guy from Inazuma’ he added before leaving.
Aether was there, too, since he was the one in charge of delivering the invitation, and looked at the Geo Archon with a troubled expression ‘Did we insist too much, Zhongli?’
The man understood the traveler’s concern, but he also knew Xiao well enough to tell that he wasn’t really annoyed at the idea of participating at that lunch, he was probably just reluctant to go out of his comfort zone. ‘I don’t think so’ he began ‘I personally believe that he needs to be persuaded... and maybe even reassured’ he replied. The blonde understood the situation (after the experience in the Chasm, he found out how much the yaksha was bothered by the idea of troubling or being a burden to someone else) and decided to convince Xiao to come with them and meet his friends again.
He found the dark-haired guy at Pervases’ Temple and the immediately approached him. Obviously he didn’t startled him, since Xiao was such a good fighter and perfectly able to perceive someone coming from behind him. Aether also decided to leave Paimon at Xiangling’s restaurant because, although she has a big heart and would never purposely hurt his friends, she can say inappropriate things sometimes, and to accomplish that mission the traveler needed to master the art of diplomacy. In fact, it wasn’t exactly easy dealing with Xiao... and he hadn’t even brought almond tofu.
‘I assume you want to try to convince me to participate to your... event’
Alright, that wasn’t exactly the warmest of greetings, but Aether was firm on his decision, so he decided to let the yaksha’s harsh tone slide. ‘Yeah... or at least I’d like to know why you don’t wanna come with us:’. The adeptus repeated what he said to Zhongli, but the blonde didn’t buy it and started inquiring a bit more (always paying attention to how the other one was reacting to his question, on high alert to catch any sign of discomfort).
However, it seemed like Aether wasn’t really able to “master the art of diplomacy”... Xiao was like a wall and always answered the questions with the same sentences, but the blonde had an unexpected turn of events when the wind made a dead leaf brush the yaksha’s ear. The dark-haired guy shuddered from that light touch, and his friend didn’t fail to notice it. After all, he is a brother, which means he has experience with tickling people. However, he needed to be extremely careful to not let the grumpy guy catch on to his plan.
He casually walked behind the shorter guy and, before he could turn around and ask what he was doing, he started scribbling on his ears and neck, catching him by surprise. Xiao wasn’t expecting such a childish reaction from Aether, which is why he didn’t have the time to prepare and try to contain his laughter. He just let out a started yelp and tried to ask ‘Whahahat thehe heck ahare yohouhuhu dohoing?!’ The blonde laughed along with his friend, genuinely amused by his reaction and his goofy struggle ‘Since you don’t wanna give me a reason why you wanna come to lunch with us, I decided to persuade you in another way’ he replied, knowing that Xiao was more than able to fight him off, if he got uncomfortable.
After some minutes, during which Aether watched the grumpy boy scrunch his neck trying in vain to protect himself while he kept wiggling his teasy fingers on the sides of his neck, on the tip of his ears, behind the ears and anywhere else he could reach on the area, Xiao’s legs gave out and he started falling on the ground, but the blonde was quick to catch him by his waist, and took advantage of the situation to change spots.
‘Trahahaveheler wahahaihit’ the yaksha tried to protest between his giggles, but without doing anything to actually stop his friend. This detail didn’t go unnoticed, and the traveler simply ignored his protests and went to town all over his tummy and sides, wiggling a finger in his bellybutton or quickly squeezing his hips every once in a while, just to make him squeak. ‘Ahae- EEK!! Ahahaetheher pleheahase EEP!’ the shorter guy tried to sink to the ground to avoid the tickles, but the blonde followed him and even managed to straddle him, getting a better position to get every sweet spot on his torso.
Hearing a please coming from Xiao was quite the event, but Aether knew it wasn’t the time to give up; on the contrary, it was the perfect time to go all out. ‘Please what?’ he asked with a teasy tone and a warm smile on his face (which made things even more flustering), then his hands latched onto the dark-haired guy’s ribs, massaging the bones and gently digging in the grooves with no mercy.
How can someone who looks so sweet be so evil?! the poor yaksha kept thinking, but he soon realized that his friend was even more cruel, specifically when he felt a couple of fingers stroke tentatively under his arms. ‘NOHOHOHO NAHAHAHAT THEHEHEHERE TRAHAHAVELEHEHER’ Xiao went ballistic, and in that moment Aether knew he had succeeded.
He started off slowly, circling his friend’s exposed underarms and teasing his biceps (which were surprisingly sensitive as well), smiling fondly at him struggling and laughing nonstop, then he began getting closer to the center but without reaching it just yet. ‘AHAEHEHEHETHER OHOH MY AHARCHOHOHON’ Xiao was going crazy, he was kicking with his legs in the air and squirming all over, as if it was going to get him out of the traveler’s clutches.
‘COHOHOHOME OHOHON!! LEHEHET MEHEHE G- NAHAHAHAHAT THEHEHEHEHEREHEHE PLEHEHEAHAHASEEE’ While the shorter guy was finishing his sentence, Aether decided it was time to go straight for the kill and started scribbling rapidly in the very center of the yaksha’s underarms. The poor guy reached an even higher level of hysteria: his struggling increased, tears started forming in the corner of his eyes and his laughter got more squeaky and relatively high-pitched. ‘IHIHI’LL TEHEHELL YOHOHOHOU’ he finally gave in ‘IHIHI’LL TEHEHEHEHELL YOHOU!! JUHUHUS STAHAHAHAP’ he exclaimed.
Aether was caught by surprise by these words. Truth be told, he had somewhat forgotten about his mission and his mind was focused only on making his usually grumpy friend smile and have fun. He was convinced that being an adeptus and being so old weren’t good reasons to stop being goofy and having a good laugh. However, a particularly loud screech from said adeptus made him snap out of his trance and he immediately stopped. He decided to keep sitting on the grass to have the conversation, but obviously he left Xiao some time to recover.
‘So...’ the dark-haired guy began immediately after he sat up ‘the truth is, I don’t feel particularly comfortable around new people and I don’t want to ruin your hangout with my mood’. Aether looked at his friend, but not with pity; his eyes were full of admiration because he had managed to open up even though his fear of being a weight for other people. Anyway, it was time to complete the mission.
‘I understand your reason, but you gotta understand that no one sees you as a burden. We care about you and we’ll do out best to make you feel at ease’ the blonde started talking ‘Also, not everyone in our group is an loud extrovert like Itto, I’m sure that you’ll find someone you’re comfortable talking to... like Shinobu, for example. She’s rather calm and considerate, but she’s tough enough to contain her boss, I find her pretty cool’ he tried to suggest.
‘I... I’ll think about it’ Xiao felt reassured by his friend’s words, but he still didn’t want to risk to let everyone down backing out at the last minute. It was better than a firm no, though, and the taller guy considered his mission accomplished.
Aether also noticed the other guy smiling softly... maybe it was because he had experience with tickle fights, probably with his brother and sisters before the tragedy. ‘By the way’ the adeptus’ voice abruptly interrupted his train of thoughts ‘don’t think you managed to make me talk with your cheap tricks, I only pitied you so much that I decided to tell you the truth and make you happy’ the traveler saw a teasy smirk on the shorter guy’s face. Could it be...
‘You’re asking for it now!!’ he exclaimed. There was only one way to find out if he really liked tickling or not, right? He pounced on the adeptus and started squeezing his sides, making him go into a new fit of laughter. What he didn’t expect was his friend’s retaliation, though. ‘Take tha- aaaahhahahaha Xiahahao wahahahait!!’ Xiao took advantage of the blonde’s distraction to scribble on his tummy, making him squirm and giggle. ‘Gotcha’ the dark-haired boy kept tickling the traveler with one hand and raised his other fist in triumph, not expecting him to gather enough strength to raise his arm and wiggle his fingers on his exposed underarm.
In the end, it turmed out to be a really tough fight that no one really won, but the important part is that luckily no one interrupted their playful moment.
