genshin parents pt 3! (finally)

inazuma...it only took me 10 years... liyue version here and mondstadt version here

Ayaka would be the sweetest (albeit not the most present) mommy.

Hers, Ayato's, and Thoma's children would practically be raised together

The fact that she can't be as present as she wants KILLS her, but she makes sure to make up for it as much as she can with gifts, sweets, and quality time

Probably a bit overbearing when it comes to her kid's social life - she doesn't want them to be like her, after all. You'll frequently hear about how worried she is about their ability to make friends, and when they DO mention their friends, you'll hear about it for days on end.

Adamant about not putting too much pressure on her children, perhaps to the point of spoiling them.

100% has a scrapbook for her kids

Ayato cares greatly for his children just like Ayaka and regrets not being able to be around as much, but he doesn't quite spoil them as much as Ayaka.

As the family head, he does see them a good bit less than Ayaka can.

His kids would NOT be picky eaters. They catch on to his antics pretty young and harass Thoma's kids with their own 'interesting' dishes.

Probably overprotective of his kids. Oh, another child is picking on his own? He will personally intervene.

With Thoma's help, he organizes a family dinner every month. He unfortunately rarely gets to attend.

Gorou would definitely want to have a large family. You tease him about it, blaming his 'doggy instincts', but he just genuinely loves being a dad.

He won't admit it, but he would be absolutely over the moon if they shared his ears and tail. But don't worry, he'd love them just the same if they didn't!

With his first kid, he would 100% be posted by their bassinet 24/7 the first few days. Eventually, you figure it would be easier if you (carefully) just bedshared. This starts a trend where any of his kids will dogpile (haha) on your shared bed any chance they get.

Gets a little ahead of himself. When he even suspects a growth spurt going on, you come home to find waaay too many new little outfits. At least they're cute.

Despite still having an active military life, he'd try to shield his kids from war and violence the best he can.

Itto would be the most obnoxious dad in all of Inazuma. But he's so proud and loving nobody could fault him for it.

Loves being a dad just as much as Gorou, but would rather be one and done so he can pour all of his love into one kid without worrying about neglecting the others.

When he sees his kid's stubby little horns, he breaks down in tears. "They're - hic - theybe got mah horns..." he'd sob out. They stay stubby, but of course he's still just as proud of them.

LOVES giving his kid shoulder rides, almost more than his kid does. Seeing them hold on to his horns while they run amok and laugh and yell is a common sight.

When they're not riding on his shoulders, he's lugging them around like a football (and sometimes like a potato sack)

Thank the archons they share his strong oni blood because this boy is ROUGH with his kid. Wrestling, tossing them around, running through the forests together, you name it.

Thoma is another one that just loves to be a dad. He would probably want more than one, but maybe not a full sports team like Gorou.

In addition to being a loving dad, he also takes the role of Inazuma's Fun Uncle. He ends up taking care of Ayato's and Ayaka's children most of the time, and they're all very close.

I like to imagine that once he has a family, he tries to pay homage to Weinlesefest with them. Maybe he wishes he can take his kids to Mondstadt one day

If any of his kids (or anyone else's for that matter) gives him puppy dog eyes, he just can't resist giving in.

There's no way he doesn't spoil his kids. His kids practically own this poor man.

He is ALWAYS looking at small little gifts to give them

#itto x reader #ayaka x reader #ayato x reader #thoma x reader #gorou x reader #arataki itto x reader #genshin imagines #will i come back? will i disappear for another 5 months? nobody knows

do you mind?

summary. sharing a table with a stranger because the cafe is full / them shooting their shot with you

characters. xiao, scaramouche, heizou, venti, kazuha x gn!reader (separate)

tags. modern au, fluff, crack

warnings. use of pet name in heizou's, kind of ooc kazuha, alcohol in venti's

XIAO

Internally panics, but welcomes you to the table with a small nod. He would be the shy type, looking everywhere except your general direction just to avoid eye contact. God knows how many times he glanced outside the window just to look at the decorative plant. he even counted the leaves.

We all know that social interaction is not his strong suit. It doesn't help that you're attractive.

He'd definitely be the type to pretend to be doing something on his phone; swiping left and right, scrolling back and forth, typing keyboard smashes in his own profile's messages, just to make it look like he's unbothered and actually has a life.

When, in reality, he's sweating because archons he's sharing his table with a pretty stranger; what if you suddenly start a conversation or something?

And you do. Because you, too, found him pretty. You introduce yourself first, then ask for his name.

His heart skips a beat. He's not sure if it's because of his nerves or if it's because you found him interesting enough to start up a conversation with, despite ignoring your presence for the past 10 minutes.

Though he's wiping his sweaty palms under the table, he plays it off coolly: tone flat, intimidating gaze, and a look of disinterest.

That causes you to frown, giving you the social cue that he's not interested in talking to you. So you simply nod and press your lips together in a thin line, saying nothing more.

He notices this, of course. Cursing himself because he just lost the chance of getting to know you. So he thinks of a way to redeem himself.

"Oh, okay." You say in response to his answer. You're embarrassed, to say the least. You spent a whole ten minutes, bouncing your leg repeatedly, debating whether or not you should make the first move to talk, only to be met with disappointment after you finally mustered up the courage.

You lightly nip your bottom lip and tap your fingers on the table. You remain silent as you wait for the servers to call you so you can take your order and go. You really didn't want to embarrass yourself further in front of this stranger.

"I, uh..." You hear him speak up. You don't assume immediately that he's talking to you, so you don't pay him any mind. He coughs loudly enough for you to look at him in concern. Your eyes widen as you see him already making direct eye contact with you.

"Yes?" You ask, taken aback that he was referring to you. Your eyes light up in hope and excitement, curious as to what he has to say.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come across as cold earlier," he says sheepishly. A soft tone, unlike the one he had previously used.

You smile in understanding and shake your head at him. "No, no, don't worry about it! I get like that sometimes too."

He hesitantly returns the smile. It suits him, you think. You found it cute that he chose to apologize to you instead of just letting it be. Most people would move on from this, not wanting to make the situation more awkward. You're relieved to hear that you weren't the only one embarrassed earlier.

"I'm not used to people, especially ones that are as beautiful as you." He suddenly adds.

You blink as you process what he just said. Your face then begins to heat up. You try to hide it from him by placing both of your hands on either side of your cheek.

What? Was he flirting with you? No, it can't be. He doesn't seem like the flirty type. He's definitely more socially awkward than you. And he said those words absentmindedly. Perhaps he didn't mean it that way.

"...if it's okay with you, may I have your number?"

SCARAMOUCHE

Glares at you menacingly, like a cat trying to hiss someone away. Him? Sharing a table with someone? Hell no. He refuses. This table is his.

Will look you straight in the eye while placing his backpack on the chair in front so you can't take the seat.

"It's occupied," he tells you before returning to whatever he was doing before. You, not impressed, take his bag and dumps it on the table. You sit firmly, giving him a challenging look as if to say "try and get me out of this chair you brat"

His mouth hangs open, surprised by your audacity. He scoffs and grumbles to himself. Something along the lines of "well, at least you're not a pushover" because if he's going to share the table, it might as well be with someone interesting.

He eventually caves and begrudgingly shares the table with you because it's not like he can be a little bitch about it when the cafe is packed.

Leaves you alone for the most part. You pretend not to notice the irritated glares he gives you whenever you smile or laugh at something on your phone.

A female server approaches your table to serve your drink. She looks at you both and notes that neither of you ordered anything to eat. She smiles sweetly and offers a 25% couple's discount for two strawberry shortcakes.

He gives her a look as if she just offended his entire family. if he has one in this universe lmao He looks just about ready to attack the employee right then and there but you quickly clasp your hand over his mouth and smile widely at her, accepting the discount.

The server's eyes twinkle with delight as she takes down your order on her notepad. She then walks away with a slight skip in her steps.

You heave out a sigh when you see her leave. You feel a vibrate on your hand as the glaring stranger attempts to speak, voice muffled. Before you could even withdraw your hand from his mouth, you felt his tongue move, giving your palm a slow, wet lick.

"Gross!" You immediately retract your hand from his mouth to wipe it on his sleeves.

He swats your hand away, avoiding all your attempts to touch him. "Get your germs off of me!" He exclaims.

"You're the one who just licked my hand!" You argue.

He scowls at you. From his expression alone, you can make out the thoughts that are going on inside his head.

"The hell was that for? First, you hog my table-"

"I wasn't hogging it, we needed to share!"

"-interrupting my peace with your presence-"

"I was minding my own business!"

"-but then next thing you do is make us out to be some kind of couple?"

"Shut up, they might hear you! We'll lose the discount!" You whisper yell, looking around to see if any of the staff heard you.

"You have some nerve."

You roll your eyes at him. So dramatic. He acts like you did something so unforgivable.

"I had to grab the opportunity. It's strawberry shortcake." You reason out.

"We just met. How dare you take advantage of me to get a discount."

"It's strawberry shortcake." You repeat.

He clicks his tongue in annoyance. "What kind of reason is that?" He huffs. "Fine, go eat your stupid cake."

"You don't want some?"

"I hate cakes."

"Why?" Who doesn't love cakes?

"Why? I hate them. I hate sweets in general. Life isn't sweet. Life is full of bitterness and sorrow. I don't get how people manage to laugh in this world. It's annoying."

Well, that explains the glares he kept sending you earlier. How the hell did a conversation about shortcakes turn into something so depressing?

"Damn, who hurt you?"

"My mother."

You gasp slightly, not expecting him to joke about something like that so casually. A smile starts to form on your lips.

No. You shouldn't be laughing. This isn't a laughing matter. But you couldn't stop one from escaping.

Hey, this guy is kind of funny. He's growing on you.

He gives you an odd look as he watches you laugh at his words. He looks almost mesmerized. He mumbles something incoherent to himself and looks away, resting his head on his palm.

"Fine. I'll eat both cakes then. I'm the one paying anyway." You say after calming yourself. He remains silent and glares at nothing in particular.

After a few minutes, the same girl returns with a tray containing two servings of strawberry shortcake. When you were about to hand over your money to her, the stranger beat you to it, placing his own cash on her palms.

The employee smiles knowingly at you. "Ah, paying for the date, how chivalrous!" she exclaims before walking away to return behind the counter.

The indigo-haired man in front of you said nothing to deny her comment and simply took one of the plates from the tray. You stare at him, puzzled. "I thought you said you don't like sweets."

"That's right." He says while he stabs the dessert with a fork and takes a grumpy bite of it.

"But it'd be a real waste of my money if I don't enjoy this with you."

HEIZOU

Has already been observing you since you entered the cafe. And wow you are stunning. Stares at you dreamily from afar as you order your food and drinks.

He will definitely make the first move. He knows his table is the only one available, so when you start looking for a seat, he's the one who offers to share before you even ask.

"Over here!" he waves at you eagerly. As if you were an old friend he hadn't seen in years. You're confused at first because you've never met this person. But you don't have anywhere else to sit, so you simply accept with a grateful smile.

Once you do, oh boy, expect him to be very chatty, flirty even. But you click with him immediately, finding him easy to talk to.

Will ask you all sorts of questions: What's your name? Your age? Your birthday? Your favorite color? Any pets? Exes?

Even taking guesses as to what your answers might be. and he got them all right, if not, then close.

"What's your ideal type? Is it me?"

"Aside from being pretty, what do you do for a living?"

"Have you ever committed a crime before? Because now you have." He says while clutching his chest.

God, you could hardly keep up. You're so flustered that you don't even question if he's a dangerous person or not. He's asking way too many personal questions.

You, in turn, ask him similar questions. It's not a one-sided attraction. He's charming and attractive; he gives you the vibe of someone intelligent. You'd like to get to know him as well.

He willingly answers them, happy to know that you're reciprocating.

Will place his head on his palms and move closer so he could look at your face up close. Observes your little features. Your lashes, lips, eyes, nose. Even moles, freckles, and blemishes, if you have any. And he'll appreciate all of them because he thinks you're lovely.

He will speak whatever is on his mind while watching you eat. You occasionally hum and make small comments to let him know you're listening.

He'd be the type to reach out and take small bites of your food while chatting. He does it so shamelessly that you're impressed, so you just let him.

This boy is so confident with himself, flirting so casually like it's second nature.

He wouldn't go as far as to touch you, of course. He knows his limits and will keep his hands to himself. But he acts so relaxed and friendly with you that you think maybe he's just playing you.

You're not dumb, you know he took an interest in you. It's not like he's being subtle about it either. Although you do feel the same way, you can't help but think of the red flags.

Is this how he always approaches strangers? Is he flirting with you for fun, or does he actually intend to make a move?

"Hmm," he hums and taps his chin lightly. "Your expression tells me you're not sure about my motives, is that correct?" he snaps, raising his index finger, a gesture you noticed him doing repeatedly ever since you met.

You giggle softly and nod. "That's right. A point for you, detective."

He lets out a breathy laugh. "It's funny you say that. Being a detective is my full-time job."

You mouth him a small "wow," because he never mentioned this in any of his chit-chats.

So that's why he's so perceptive and good at interrogating.

"That's quite... attractive." You admit with a light blush dusting your cheeks.

"You think so?" He gives you a teasing smile. He leans back and crosses his arms. "To wash away your doubts, sweetheart, I do plan on pursuing you."

You feel your heart flutter. You think you're about to swoon because of all the flirting you received from him today.

"I'm serious about this one; only a true detective can crack the case of this heart theft!" he winks.

"And my prime suspect is you."

VENTI

When you approach him, he reeks of alcohol. He's drunk. In the middle of the day. At a cafe. Do they even serve alcoholic beverages here?

He appears to be half asleep, his eyelids heavy and his head resting on his arms. You notice the coffee cup beside his head and peek to see what's inside.

Yup, you guessed it. It's alcohol. How the hell did he sneak that in here? You're surprised none of the employees notice him as they pass by.

You choose not to disturb him and invite yourself to his table instead, keeping your distance and not waking him.

Then he suddenly jolts awake, startling you

"Oh! Hello stranger!" he's now fully awake lmfao

Doesn't even bother to know your name and ask why you're sitting at his table. He just starts talking about whatever comes to mind.

Will discuss the dramas he has witnessed in his life. You listen because the way he tells stories is interesting as hell. You're fully engaged in the conversation.

"Earlier, I saw this red-haired dude beat the ever-living shit out of this blue-haired dude. It was amazing ehe!"

That's just one of the many things he shared.

Like?? Does he see stuff like that on a daily basis

You're surprised he's sober after seeing him nearly pass out earlier.

Like Heizou, he will also steal some of the pastries you ordered, albeit in a more subtle manner. He thinks you don't notice this lol.

"You've got a fine taste in sweets, stranger! Tell me, what's your opinion on wine?" He inquires.

"I don't really know much about them; I just drink whatever I want," you respond with an amused smile.

You admit that, while you were wary of him from the start, and your encounter with this stranger was definitely strange, you didn't expect him to be this entertaining. You grow more interested in him, charmed by his open and carefree character.

"Hah, I thought so! I cou-" He's cut off by his own hiccup. You stifle a laugh as you offer him some water.

"Whoops! Sorry 'bout that," he lets out a bubbly laugh and accepts the water.

"As I was saying," he clears his throat after drinking, "if you're interested in wine, I could tell you more about it! I'd say I'm an expert."

"I can tell."

"But if you're not, then.." He trails off.

"..I'm still very interested in having a drink with you sometime! You're quite the gorgeous stranger, you know," he whispers, leaning in and winking.

"So what do you say about keeping in touch?"

KAZUHA

Probably the most normal one to welcome you with that sweet, endearing smile of his. Will even stand up from his chair and pull yours back so you could sit on it. Just a small gesture to show his kindness.

He'll strike up a casual conversation with you just to get to know you better because he thinks you look breathtaking.

Unlike Heizou and Venti, instead of stealing your food, he offers you his instead. He pushes his plate towards you so you could get some.

You refuse because you're too shy and you aren't shameless enough to eat someone else's food.

BUT THEN. But then. He gives you a pout. "Come on, take a bite. Just a bite." cue puppy eyes. How could you refuse him? With that face??

So you take your fork and slice off a tiny piece, just enough to taste it.

He notices this and frowns. He takes action, slicing off a larger piece with his own fork and placing it near your mouth.

"Say aah" You follow, face burning red. So embarrassed that you look like a tomato

He beams at you, pleased to see you eating.

Despite his sweet and gentle vibe, he's actually pretty bold with his advances.

When he sees some of the bread's cream on the side of your lips, he reaches out to wipe it with his thumb and then proceeds to lick it off his finger

He smiles at you innocently too

"You're acting awfully sweet to a stranger." You point out.

"Am I? How could I not, if the stranger is you." He gives you a shy smile. "We could fix the stranger part, how about friends?"

"Are you sure just friends?" You playfully raise a brow at him.

"Well, we could be more in the future." He chuckles softly. Then his eyes widen as he realizes something that didn't cross his mind until now. "But," he quickly adds, "if you're already seeing someone, being friends is enough."

You giggle, covering your mouth behind your hand, finding it adorable that he's still worried about that despite already making a lot of advances. "Don't worry, I've never dated anyone."

He looks at you in disbelief. "Really? That's surprising; I thought someone like you would be off the market by now."

"I get to find and keep the treasure then? What an honor."

horns and tails! (itto x hybrid!reader)

some friends to lovers/childhood friend to scratch that itch in my brain teehee. The story start with you and Itto as children and ends when you're older.

You are a hybrid, and grew up in a town that did not appreciate hybrids. Lucky for you, there was a little oni boy to keep you company

word count: 2316

When you think of a kirin, you think of a strong, noble beast. Strong yet majestic, with long and a gorgeous mane. You had nothing but respect for their kind, your mom made sure of that. She constantly reminded you that the kirin blood that flowed through your veins was a gift from the Archons above.

So why, then, were the other kids so mean to you?!

“They’re horns, not antlers!” You hollered at the kids in front of you.

“What’s it matter, freak?! Either way, they still make you a monster!”

Truth be told, it didn’t matter. You always cringe when you thought back onto this day. Ultimately, it didn’t matter whether you called them “horns” or “antlers”, they were weird things that stuck out of your head and couldn’t be hidden like your tail. To your 6 year old self though, that was the hill you were ready to die on.

You remember holding back tears as you confronted those kids. They had been rude to you the second your mom enrolled you in school! But like your mom told you, the kirin is patient and docile, and kirin blood ran through your veins. So you took it, and took it, and took it, and then one day you just had enough.

“Th-they do not! They make me strong, and- and…brave!” You practically hiccupped out.

“Eww, it’s crying!” One girl cried out. “Monsters aren’t supposed to cry!” Called out the boy who was making fun of your horns. You didn’t even understand what he meant. Why couldn’t monsters cry? Surely they got sad too? You didn’t understand, but it still hurt.

“HEY!” Shrieked a kid behind you. You spun around, eyes widening at the rapidly approaching kid. He had strange, white hair, piercing red eyes, and a weird headband. And he was pissed. You clutched your tail to your body, trying to make yourself look small. The way he was approaching, he’s not seriously going to attack you, is he?!

But before you can react, he practically pushes past you, almost making you lose your balance. “YA GOT A PROBLEM OVER HERE?! HUH?!” he bellowed out at the other kids puffing his chest out. “It’s the oni boy!” another kid yelps, and before you know it, they all scatter away from you.

Leaving just you and this weird boy.

“Argh! I freakin’ hate them! Ev’ry. Single. One. Of them!” He suddenly spins around, flashing a sharptoothed grin and reaching his hand out. “I’m Itto!”

You blinked at him, still processing that sudden mood shift. “Uh. Um.” He kept his hand out.

“Wow, cool horns! I wish mine were longer, mine are still just nubs, but Granny Oni says that they’ll come in eventually!” You looked up at him. You realized that that wasn’t a headband, it was a pair of small horns! And wow was this kid tall.

“What are you, anyways?” You’re even more taken aback at this. First of all, that just sounds rude. Second of all, wasn’t it obvious?! You puff out your chest a little. “I have kirin blood flowing through my veins,” you began reciting the speech your mom regularly gave you, “and it makes me strong-“

“Ooh! I have oni blood- er, I AM an oni! That makes me super strong! If you’re strong too, let’s be friends!” You blanked. Did he just…interrupt you?! No no, wait, did he just ask to be your friend?! You quickly also realize that his hand is still outstretched. You slowly grab his hand before shaking it and flatly saying your name. “Wow, this is awesome! I haven’t seen another hybrid around here since, like, uh, EVER! Hey, aren’t kirins s’posed to only have one horn?”

“Kirins born in war have two horns, and kirins born in times of peace have one horn! Mommy says because things are bad I have two horns.”

“Hm. Well. I have two horns too, so that makes us war buddies!”

“Kirins don’t fight! Kirins don’t go to war!”

“Then you can be my medic!”

You wanted to scream, but you stopped again to stare at him. This was the first time you’ve had a “real” conversation with someone your age. Someone who wasn’t trying to run away from you.

“-HEY HEY I’m sorry! We don’t hafta be war buddies! I was just kidding!” You didn’t realize why he looked so panic until you realized you were crying. “N-no! I wanna be war buddies!” You sobbed out. “P-please! We can be war buddies!”

That day, Itto had felt so bad for supposedly making you cry. He lead you to Granny Oni’s and his home, practically demanding you eat dinner with them. He claims food always makes you feel better, and he wasn’t going to let you leave until you felt better!

He was so excited to share the mixed yakisoba Granny Oni made for him. So excited, in fact, when you informed him that you were a vegetarian and could not eat that, it was his turn to cry. He felt bad for letting you down again, but he was determined you would eat dinner. So he scrounged up every carrot in the house and gave it to you in a large bowl. Bon appetit!

Granny Oni eventually came back home and was shocked to see a little kirin playing with her little oni. It warmed her heart, and she walked the two of you back home. Your mother immediately pulled you in and apologized, thinking she was a townperson here to complain about her monster child being out in public. When Granny Oni instead introduced herself and explained you and Itto had been playing together, your mother shed a tear of her own. She didn’t know if you’d ever be able to make friends in this little town!

You and Itto continued to play almost every day. Instead of going back to the public school, Granny Oni had offered to tutor you along with Itto. As time went on, you and Itto both continued to grow. Granny Oni was right, his horns definitely did come in. And boy was he excited when he realized they were long enough to smack into yours. Being friends with Itto helped you realize that maybe a little violence is okay sometimes, so you were quick to hit him back with your horns. And he hit you back with his. And it went on until, uh oh, your horns were hooked together! It was fun, especially with the vast height difference, to try to be coordinated enough to crabwalk back to Granny Oni’s house for help. You guys would continue to fight with your horns, and you guys would continue to get them stuck on each other.

Years pass, and you and Itto remain friends, and you two find people a bit more tolerant to hybrids and end up making more friends.

“Kuki, I need your advice-”

“Archons, either stay in or stay out! I can’t handle you pacing in and out of the room like this!”

“But Kuuuki!” Itto whined, “I want my dear deer’s birthday to be perfect!”

“Okay, and? I’m sure they’ll be fine with anything that shows we remembered their birthday.”

“But that’s not enough! I wanted them to be WOWED! I want them to feel APPRECIATED!”

Kuki rolled her eyes. It’s not that she was irritated with Itto himself, oh no.

She was irritated that you two have been in love with each other for YEARS, and yet you two are the only ones that don’t know. Everyday, tailing after you, trying to make you laugh, going look how strong I am! before he picks you up and throws you over his shoulder like a potato sack, causing you both to shriek in laughter. Or every time you two have a hornfight and end up getting stuck, you always desperately look away, too embarrassed from being too close, while he stares at you awestruck, face coated red, loving how close you two are...

You two make Kuki sick.

“And I can’t COOK for her cuz she’s a freaking HERBIVORE and I don’t know how to not eat meat!”

“Itto, listen to me. I am going to teach you how to make Universal Peace. They will like it because yada yada noble kirin blood.”

“REALLY?! Oh, thanks man, you have no idea-“

“BUT. You are going to tell them about your stupid gross crush.” Itto’s face immediately lit up.

“Pfft, wha-wha-what? I have, like, no idea what you’re…talking…about, hehe.” He stammered out. Seeing the unimpressed look in Kuki’s eyes, he sighed.

“Okay…you’re right. But that’s because the great Arataki Itto never yields to fear!”

But back to you, it was your birthday! You always got excited for your birthday. Every year your mother would make you a string of flower to wrap around your horns. Now that you were a grown ass adult, you still wrapped strings of flowers on your horns. It looked nice, and it made you nostalgic. You should write your mother a letter soon.

You carefully brushed at your tail, scowling at a patchy spot near the tip. Some kid thought it would be funny to stick a wad of gum into you beautiful tail! The nerve of some people!

You looked in the mirror again and stared at your horns. They were looking a bit dull, perhaps you should take the flowers off and polish them? You thought about Itto’s sharp red horns. They were always so effortlessly shiny, you don’t think he’s ever even polished them once…

Your faced flushed thinking about Itto. Ooh, you were looking forward to seeing him that day! You always looked forward to spending time with him. Sure, you spent a lot of time together, but you could never get enough of your friend!

Your friend….

You tugged the flowers off your horns. Back when you were kids, you were so happy to have you first friend, so, so happy. You pick up your buffing stone to smooth of the bumps on your horns. Nowadays, though, the word “friend” has left a sour taste in your mouth. Only for him, though! You had no problem calling Kuki a friend, or even a fellow hybrid like Gorou… after buffing your horns, you carefully apply oil to them. You knew what the feeling was, but you weren’t going to accept it. You were grateful enough to just have friends, to have more than one friend…

You weren’t normal. You would never be able to have normal relationships. You’ve already got more than you ever would’ve thought, why would you be selfish and ask for more? You look in the mirror, and all you see is a monster-

There’s a knock on your door.

“Yeah?” Your voice cracked. You didn’t realize that you had gotten so upset. Before you could wipe your tears away, Itto was already in your doorway.

“Hey, happy birthday! I made you this thingy called Universal Peace, Kuku and I figured since you’re from Liyue-“ He stopped when he heard you sniffling.

“Hey, hey, hey,” he cooed. “What’s got you so upset that you’re crying on your birthday?”

“I’m an unlovable monster…” you croaked out.

“What?!” he replied in shock.

“I’ve got these weird horns…”

“I have weird horns.”

“Yours are cool and sharp and awesome,” you pouted, “and you don’t have a weird tail like me!”

“I like you tail. I think it’s cool!”

“Yeah, but…I’m a monster…”

“I’m a monster! Even worse, I’m a demon! Listen, dude, lots of people like you…and love you!”

You snort. “I don’t think anyone besides my mom loves me.”

“I love you.”

The world stops spinning. You swear you feel every single hair on your body stand on end.

“…what?”

“What I MEAN, is…” Itto’s face is rapidly getting darker. “Iiis, uhh, I…Like you. Like, like-like you, you know? I luh-love you.”

Your world feels so light right now…it doesn’t even feel like you’re awake. You pinch yourself and decide your are, in fact, in real life.

“You… love me? Since when?!”

“Since always! When I first saw that little deer kid with the cool horns, I…I don’t know! Look!”

He suddenly grabs you by the shoulders and gets face-to-face with you.

“L-Looking!” You stammer out.

“No, look, like…” A moment passes where neither of you say anything. Then, without warning, he places the quickest, smallest kiss on your cheek before immediately standing up and turning around.

Your face feels like it’s on fire. Even from behind you can tell how red his ears are.

“Itto, I-“

“No, I’M sorry! I should’ve just let you vent, I shouldnta-“

“Itto, look-“

“-and I should’ve asked, shit, I didn’t mean to just KISS you-“

“ITTO! Like, look!”

He turned back around, his whole face almost as red as his horns.

You stand on you tiptoes, cupping his face in your hands. His eyes widen in shock but before he can say anything, you plant a kiss on his lips.

When you stand back down, you’re trembling. Itto delicately holds on to your elbow.

“Oh, um, uh, wow.” He mumbles.

“Yeah…” you agreed, not meeting his eyes.

“Hey, so, do you wanna start going out?”

It’s too much, You bury your head in his face, not bothering to be wary of your horns.

“Yamf.” You mumble into his shirt.

“’s that a yeah…?”

You nod. He wraps his arms around you and you can feel him grin against the top of your head. “We’re dating now!” He laughs out. You’re still terribly embarrassed, but you let yourself smile.

“We’re dating now!” He shouts out, picking you up and spinning with you.

“Iffo!” You yell into his shirt. “ITTO!”

“Ahahaha! Take THAT, Kuki!” He plops down, still holding you, onto your couch.

Which lets out a sad, sad sqush noise.

…

“I forgot I put the Universal Peace on the couch.”

an: oh my GOD this is not proofread and its literally 6am...i'm going to read this when i wake up and I know it's going to be awful

genshin parents pt 2!

liyue edition, mondstadt edition here

Beidou is your friends mom that you wished were your own mom.

Spoils her kids with toys like Diluc, spoils her kids with fun like Kaeya.

She imposes her strong moral code onto her kids, which is a little tiring for you, as what Beidou calls "morally correct" or "justified" other people will simply call "illegal."

LOVES to play wrestle with her kids, although she's definitely gone a little too far sometimes. "Why are there so many holes in the wall?!"

Even though they're spoiled and a little chaotic, Beidou's children are extremely well-behaved (at least to her standards). Once they were old enough to be aware, they were old enough to beware her anger.

I 100% believe she brings orphans home like strays. "Darling, is it me, or are there fewer empty spots at the dinner table tonight?" "I couldn't just LEAVE them in the cold like that!" And that is how you became a parent to 2 more children in one evening.

Ganyu is the sweetest mom. She loves the idea of putting notes in her kid's lunch, but often forgets to actually put them in the lunchbox. Instead, she will go into her kid's room decorate their mirror with sticky notes covered in affirmations.

Despite this, it was definitely a rough adjustment. serving as the secretary of the Liyue Qixing nonstop for literally thousands of years, and then to suddenly be a parent?

She knew you needed her, though. You and her baby.

It was rough, sticking to sleeping and feeding schedules, forgetting if the baby needed 4 or 6 ounces of milk, accidentally falling asleep when it was her turn to watch the baby...

It was rough, but everyday she kept trying, and everyday she got better.

Her kid knows they're loved unconditionally, even if their mom does forget to pick them up from soccer practice from time to time.

Ningguang loves children, we already know that. But loving children and raising children are two completely different ballparks.

She loves her baby, don't get me wrong. But you don't get to be the richest person in Teyvat by being a housewife.

She has their best interests at heart. They go to the best schools, have the comfiest and nicest looking clothes, have the best tutor, and are involved in any extracurriculars they'd like. She's active, but she's not present.

She doesn't realize how not-present she's been until she feels nostalgic one day and goes through a photo album

All of these pictures at different events, showing your baby slowly grow from a baby to a toddler to a child. You're in most of these pictures, but she realizes how shockingly few she's in. In fact, she couldn't even tell you when many of the pictures are taken.

She silently walks into her kids room and sits on the foot of their bed. And then she cries.

For the first time they can remember (but definitely not the last), her kid wakes up in Ningguang's arms. They snuggle into her, savoring the moment. Ningguang vows to make up for lost time.

Xiao is so, so scared when he finds out he's going to be a father.

He's thinking of every possible thing that can go wrong with you, with your baby, he needs constant reassurance. Anything that goes wrong, no matter how minor, he blames himself. He doesn't believe he deserves to be a father.

When he first sees his baby, he is so, so happy, yet still so, so scared. The first time he sees them, his eyes glisten and you swear he's going to cry. But he doesn't.

He refuses to hold them the first few nights. He doesn't feel like it's safe. But he's next to you and the baby the whole time. When you're asleep, he's standing guard.

Eventually one day you practically shove your baby into his arms. For a second, he swears his entire world flips upside down and he's about to collapse and oh archons oh fuck-

He manages to catch his breath and stares down at his baby.

After that, he never puts them down.

Seriously. You have to fight for your baby back.

That's okay, though. Xiao doesn't need to sleep, so he just waits for you to fall asleep and he spends the entire night holding your baby, watching them sleep, feeding them and changing them if they need it...

It's adorable.

Zhongli prepares the nursery practically overnight. He tells you he's just going to set a few things up, and in the morning you're walking into a freshly painted nursery with a crib set up, and a changing station, and a play area...

The next day, he says he's going to do some shopping for the baby. That night he comes back with enough diapers to last the entire infancy, nearly a dozen different types of bottles, toys, so many cute onesies...

It's amazing, really, but you really don't want to know how he managed to pay for all of this.

"Ah, darling, I found this book that's a wonderful collection of Liyue's folklore. Do you think the baby will like it?" "I'm sure they'll enjoy listening to you read to them, love." "But do you think they will like it?"

Carries around an obnoxiously large diaper bag

Reads every parenting book available. Still can't get the baby to stop crying.

Once they start getting older, he's so excited to start passing down different traditions. Some traditions haven't been practiced in centuries.

His kid is that one kid that while they're polite and kind, they also walk around and talk like an old man.

genshin pda!

mondstadt edition

Albedo is not a big fan of PDA. He'll hold your hand in public, and if you're similar heights or if you're a bit shorter he'll wrap his arm around your shoulder. When you guys do go on "normal" dates, instead of being all over you he'll slip you little doodles of you two surrounded by hearts. You've kept every little draeing. In private, expect the warmest and most gentle hugs from him.

Diluc would also be a bit reserved, but not quite as much. Side hugs, maybe a kiss on the cheek if he feels it's appropriate. If you're shorter, expect him to rest his arm on your head/shoulder. If you're taller, expect him to lean against you when he thinks nobody else is around.

Kaeya will try his best having any kind of contact with you while you're in public. Holding your hand, wrapping his arm around your waist or shoulders, he's always trying to be close to you. Too bad he has a habit of always trying to hold your right hand. Because of his eyepatch, this causes him to constantly veer off to the right, leaving you in charge of making sure neither of you end up in a ditch. You know he does this on purpose. When it's time for you to head your separate ways, expect a "goodbye" kiss, then some cheek kisses for good luck, then another kiss "for the road", before he finally lets you go after kissing the hand he'd been holding all day.

Lisa is, as we know, extra af when it comes to affection. Constant handholding, constant hugs. Even if you've only been apart for 10 minutes, expect her to shower you with hugs and kisses to "make up for lost time". Everyone groans when they're in the same room as you two. When she hugs you, she always ends up smooshing you into her bosom.

Jean is also not one for PDA. Maybe she'll hold your hand and give you a quick peck on the cheek, but besides that people don't even know you two are together! You don't mind though, because every night she makes sure to make up for it. Curled up together while reading and drinking tea together. Big spoon 100%, but she doesn't mind one bit if you decide to be her jetpack

Venti is another overly affectionate character. When he spots you in the market, he runs over to you and tackles you into a hug, even if he sees you're carrying stuff. He couldn't help himself, he just got soo excited to see you! He'll give you a kiss to make up for it, okay? After that, he's holding your hand and dragging you along to each stall in the market. You guys end up getting separated, and once he finds you you bet you're getting tackled by him again.

bonus chars

Razor grew up with his Lupical. If you know anything about wolves, then you know how affectionate they are. Once he deems you a friend and not a threat, expect him hugging you and constantly watching over you. Making sure you've eaten, making sure you got home safe, all the works. When it's just you two, he'll notice the knots in your hair and try to "gently" untangle it. Which really fucking hurt. After your pain and mutual confusion fades away, you let him know to ask next time, and show him how he can help untangle your hair without scalping you

genshin parents!

mondstadt edition, liyue edition here

cw: pregnancy, afab/fem reader in some

Diluc had always been an overprotective parent, even before the first of his children were born.

Took any kind of morning sickness wayy too seriously.

For the first few months, he wouldn't let you do anything on your own.

Shopping? Servants had it handled. Cooking? Are you insane, he had his own chefs for a reason! Cleaning? Hello, maids? Going out for a walk? Don't you know there are thieves and bandits and who knows what out there?!

One day, you sat him down and had to tell him if you were stuck inside for one more day, you were going to lose your mind.

Growing up, nothing was too much for his kids. They wanted a pony for their birthday? They got a pony.

His kids could also do no wrong. His kid punched yours? Well, what did yours do to upset his? Of course, once they got back home, he would teach his kid more efficient ways to deal with their feelings.

I can't see Diluc having a small family, I just can't. He has to have at least ONE set of twins.

Kaeya was the parent that all the other kids wished they had.

Sure, Diluc spoiled his kids with toys and ponies and whatnot, but Kaeya was the cool dad!

Probably let his kids go out on small "missions" with him, day or night

Slow, boring paperwork days were always bring-your-kid-to-work days for him, much to Jean's dismay

His kid wasn't as mischievous as Kaeya, but archons were they curious. Even if Jean was sure she locked the door, somehow they ended up in rooms they definitely were not supposed to be in

Kaeya knows what a dangerous world it is, so he makes sure to train his kid in at least the basics with a sword.

Believe me, Kaeya makes sure his kid knows his parents love each others. Constant kisses and hugs and snuggles, enough to make any kid go "bleugh, so gross!"

He's still affectionate to his kid, of course. More often than not the 3 of them share one bed.

Often times takes his kid to play with his cousins. He's the uncle that's always telling stories that you're not sure really happened, but they just might've.

"Have you guys heard of the legend of the Darknight Hero? Well what if I told you guys that I knew him personally?" type beat

Venti is definitely a "go do whatever you want" kind of parent.

He stood by your side the whole pregnancy, but once that kid was out, he was irritatingly more carefree

He still took care of his little family, don't get me wrong, but at least in the beginning he probably wasn't there enough

He would come back every night and sing his child to sleep, but often times during the day he was off doing who knows what

That is until, one day he completely forgot his kid had a performance at the church that day! By the time he realized, it was already over and his child was giving him the silent treatment.

From that point on, Venti made sure to make it up to them. Constant affection, hugs, kisses, reassurances, songs about how amazing they were, and he was never late to any of his kids musical performances.

Of course, he made sure to make it up to you as well. He knew you had to do so much without him, and he would do everything to make it right

Takes you both out to see the most beautiful spots in Mondstadt. While you're admiring nature, he's admiring his family, singing about how you're his beautiful windblume and your child is his wonderful and free dandelion

Jean is a very caring (if not overprotective) mother

While she wants her kid to be happy, she also wants them to be ready for what life throws at them

How to care for themselves, how to defend for themselves, how to clean up after themselves, how to cook for themselves...

You often have to gently remind her that kids will only be kids once and to ease up on them

Jean is a very busy woman, but she loves her kid and wants to give you a break as well, so she often brings them with her to HQ with her.

"So it's perfectly okay for you to bring your child, but when I bring my darling little angle there's a problem?" Yes Kaeya, because Jean actually watches her kid and they're not wandering the building unattended! Kaeya has the audacity to act offended over being told this.

While Jean's kid is naturally curious as well, they prefer to stay in the mothers office chatting or just reading a book.

Definitely takes her family out on picnics on any days off she gets to have

Lisa already has the MOST mommy energy, do you know how she'd be as an actual mother??

Her kids are getting lunches with handwritten notes EVERYDAY!

If you were pregnant, she would remind you of how lovely you are everyday and how cute your kid would be!

Would be just as excited if she were the one pregnant, although her cravings and constant nausea in the beginning would be quite challenging

If you chose to adopt, the first kid you meet is the one to her and she decorated their room for them that night.

"Oh, honey! I saw you playing with the eldest Ragnvindr boy earlier~!" "EW MOM WE'RE JUST FRIENDS-" would totally tease their kids for their crushes.

But when it came to get serious, she gave THE BEST relationship advice for her kids.

Once they're older, her kids help her out at the library with simple jobs.

She thought about having them help out when they were younger, but just thinking about what such young children can make out her perfectly organized library...the thought still makes her shudder to this day.

Once again, Kaeya is salty nobody says anything to Lisa about having her kids here. ("They're WORKING Kaeya! Do you even know where your child is right now?!" "I'm sure they headed towards the barracks, they've been awfully curious about our armory lately." Jean is about to explode.)
