summary: zhongli, xiao, albedo and childe are in love with you, even if you don’t feel the same.
notes: angst, headcanons, .7k words
Zhongli
This is just another burden for him to bear.
You are the enduring beauty of humanity. When Zhongli sees you, he thinks this is what it has all been for: the millennia of loss, of fallen friends and foes alike, the never ending struggle. When he sees your bright smile as you wander the peaceful land he wrought with his own hands, perhaps it has all been worth it after all.
He is well acquainted with desire after all these years, but it is still an unexpected flower that blooms in your presence. You listen to him attentively, accompany him as he walks around Liyue, sigh as you bring out your wallet when he’s short on Mora.
If he were to kiss you, how would you react? If he were to stroke your cheek, pull you into his arms, tell you that he loves you… Zhongli understands that this is a futile train of thought. There is no room in your life for him beyond your current relationship.
He is a relic of the past. Zhongli has seen too much, lived for too long: the only thing he can hope for is that you will keep him alive in your memories.

KATSUKI BAKUGOU
this man will absolutely not stand for it
"I'm gonna go on a run with shitty hair, love you."
"mmkay have fun and stay safe babe."
walks out the room but the second he reaches the door he realizes something's missing so he goes back to your room and peeks his head out
you're on the bed looking at him like "what??"
"I said I'm gonna go on a run with shitty hair. I love you."
you furrow your brows, looking around you trying to do your best with ur acting
"And I said to have fun and take care."
Now he's standing at your door with his arms crossed across his chest, frowning at you
"I'll repeat it as many times as you want until I get the reply I want."
he's repeating what he said like five times now and he's stubborn so you know he won't budge
you're lughing loudly and he raises a brow at you, silently asking what was wrong. "I'm sorry, it was for a tiktok babe." You chuckle, crawling towards him at the foot of the bed
"I love you too." You press a kiss on his lips
"that's what I thought." he huffs before leaving
EIJIROU KIRISHIMA
"the squad and I are working out together. I'll bring home dinner. Love you." He kisses your forehead, he always kisses your forehead before he leaves
"Okay, have fun hon."
he straightens his body, looking down at you with blinking eyes as he furrows his brows. you look uo at him like what??
"Love you."
"Okay, have fun."
he's staring you down as you bite your tongue to stop yourself from laughing
he leans back down at you, crushing you under his weight as he buries his face on the crook of your neck
"you didn't say i love you back." he's using his baby voice and you're laughing at how upset he sounds
"I'm sorry, baby. It was for a tiktok." You explain, kissing his temples, "I love you too."

you put the headset back on your boyfriend before leaving
"bye baby! love you!" he yells, and runs away from the monster he's fighting just to hear you say it back but when he hears his front door close instead, he pouts
"yeah okay guys i'll be AFK for a moment Y/n didn't hear me say i love you." (you did you just decided to ignore it for some stupid tiktok 🖕)
"oooohhh, better offer her your life if you wanna live now." shinsou jokes
Denki runs out his apartment, hoping you still hadn't gone down the elevator
when he sees you just stepping inside it, he sprints towards it, jamming his hand in the middle of the doors before they close and the way he does this is he literally dives onto the floor
"oh my goodness, Denki!" you yell, pressing the button to open the doors as you help your boyfriend up
"what the hell did you do that for?!" you ask
he looks up at you, pouting. "you didn't hear me say i love you? i yelled it before you left my apsrtment."
you break into a smile, stepping out of the elevator as you began to laugh at your adorable boyfriend
"babe you didn't have to swan dive in front of the elevator in your boxer shorts just to say it to me. you could have called me!"
"but you said 'i love you' hits differently when said in person."

he enters his building back from the outside. "lock the entrances and exits." he tells the security guard and immediately the building is going on lockdown
his staff don't panic, they just watch in curiosity as their boss stands in the middle of the lobby with his arms crossed across his chest
the click and clacking of your heels echo through the now silent, enormous hobby filled with 80-100 people
you furrow your brows, surprised at the sight of your husband suddenly in the lobby
"shoto? weren't you just in the office?" you ask.
"i was, but you didn't say i love you back."
"sho are you serious-"
"i love you."
"you locked down your entire building-"
"i love you."
"you could have just called me!"
"Y/n I love you."
you hear some women giggling at how adorable your husband was and honestly, you would be too if you witnessed this
you sigh, "I love you too, Sho."
he smiles, motioning his finger up to ask for the lockdown to be lifted. he kisses you on the cheek before heading back up to his office
safe to say you guys made headlines the next day

If we had Yellow Xiao we'd have the full traffic light set.
I… I’m going to bed, i can’t handle this right nOW-
includes. venti, diluc, xiao, zhongli, childe, kazuha
— venti sits beside your bed, lyre in hand. his fingers pluck a simple lullaby as you grip the edge of his shirt, trying to forget about the nightmare. he’s still alive, breathing with you, and when at last you drift off to sleep, the gentle melody fades away and he presses a soft kiss on your forehead. “sleep well, my love”
— diluc closes the tavern with a flower tucked behind his ear and an old record playing. “dance with me!” you say, and take his hands, dragging him to the center of the room. he blushes when you put his hand on your waist, but he soon falls into the steps as you slow dance in the candlelight, foreheads pressed together
— xiao spends his afternoon trying to catch crystalflies with his hands. he stands on his tiptoes, peering over a low tree branch, and you giggle as he clamps his hands around empty air. “what are you doing?” you ask. leaves cling to his hair, so you run your fingers through his dark locks and watch them fall to the ground. “trying to catch one for you” he grumbles, “because they’re pretty, like you are”
— zhongli leaves you letters sealed with wax slid under the door, left by your bed, or hidden in odd places that only the two of you would look, because he’s always thinking of you. three lines or five paragraphs laced with love to remind you that when it all seems like too much he is there, forever
— childe brings you to the boardwalk to watch the sun slip below the horizon and paint the sky orange and gold. as the last rays of light fade, he wraps an arm around you and pulls you close. “a lot of people get engaged at sunset” he says, slipping a ring on your finger. “do you wanna try it?”
— kazuha lays with his head in your lap, twirling blades of grass between his fingers. “what would i do without you?” he says, gazing up at you. it catches you off guard and your flustered face makes him laugh, high and clear, and he sits up to kiss your lips and feel your smile against his. it has always been the most beautiful thing to him
facts
I've been seeing quite a few of Kazuha/Xiao/Reader poly, what do you think it would be like?
Ooh that’s a rare trio. If we’re talking about in a canon setting, it’s kind of odd (at least for me since i mostly stick to canon lores) but in the idol au, kazuha and xiao do get along well especially in terms with their darling.
They’re both calm and reserved and dont often get into arguments when it comes to your affection. I guess you could say they’re equal and it’s a healthy relationship with you three. When it comes to pda, kazuha will give you compliments with his flowery words and xiao is more comfortable with just holding hands. But kissing and hugs should be more in private cuz it might cause an uproar that xiao is dating someone.
There are few speculations that kazuha maybe dating you but others just think it’s a platonic relationship which kinda hurt him. But for the sake of keeping you out from the paparazzis he just goes along with it. Your two boyfriends do their best to keep you safe as well as make you comfortable and give you enough love and attention while they work.
When they’re performing, there are times the two will give you a small smile and look at you while they sing which really made you so giddy and flustered. Your support and presence makes them want to thrive their best to give you the best performance you’ve ever seen from 4nemo
[Pairing/s: Xiao x Reader]
Genre: Fluff
Warning: None
[Note: this was supposed to be for Xiao's birthday, better late than never. Also, I, in no means know how to play the flute, my apologies in advance if there is an inaccuracy in the description.]
Night time fell on Liyue, lanterns lit up to paint the darkness and cover the harbor with warmth and light, there was not much difference from the daytime in terms of atmosphere, it's very much still lively, though, as much as you love your home and the bustling harbor sometimes a nice peace and quiet is something you need after a tiring day.
You made your way to Mt. Tianheng, going behind the houses and made your way at the little mountain behind the said houses, a beautiful view of the port welcomed you along with a soft breeze that tickled your skin as you reach the top, you sat down on the grass admiring the view in front of you a sigh escaping your lips. You took out your precious flute from its confinement, admiring it's familiar features before bringing it close to your lips.
The wind went in through the instrument as you are skillfully making a wonderful melody, letting yourself relax as you pour your emotions into playing your favorite instrument.
The wind took your music throughout the land, as far that it reaches to Wang Shu Inn and it seems to catch the attention of the Conqueror of Demons, Xiao.
He perked up in hearing a tune of a familiar instrument that he hadn't heard in a long time, out of curiosity, he swiftly follow the tune finding himself at Liyue Harbor, the noises of the citizens cover up the music making the Yaksha groan in annoyance, moving to another location that is quieter he once again hear the melody but much more louder and clearer this time.
Now standing on the second highest peak in Mt. Tianheng, he overlooks the port and you.
Sitting on the ground with your things beside you as you play the flute, his eyes linger on your form, you look so small from such a far distance, so vulnerable but yet the melody you're playing silence the voices that haunts him. Deciding that the distance is enough for him to listen to your small performance, he sat on the ground, taking one last look at you before closing his eyes and basking at the lovely melody that you're playing with your flute.
It was a moment of tranquility for the Yaksha, something he hadn't had for a long time.

I know I'm I anonymous right now but I love all of your posts!!! I hope you like my request! Can I request the tot boy's s/o popping up in the NXX headquarters out of nowhere? Like they not supposed to be there and know where it is. I want to see their reactions!
Oh and maybe Rosa comment on it on each section because she's also in NXX
𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 ☽ 𝗍𝖾𝖺𝗋𝗌 𝗈𝖿 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗆𝗂𝗌
𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 . . . their reaction to you finding the nxx headquarters.
𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 . . . artem, vyn, luke & marius.
𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 . . . gn!reader + fluff.
# 𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗠
when you pop up from behind the couch in the main room of the headquarters, with an adorable smile on your face, artem’s eyes just widen & his jaw goes slack.
he’s in pure shock; did he really do that terrible of a job at hiding the location of the headquarters?
he knows that you’re far from clueless & probably would have figured it out sooner or later, but it still shocks him that you were able to find it this quickly.
he sits on the couch with a stupidly adorable expression on his handsome face, one that he doesn’t often show.
he flushes a bright shade of red when you lean over & kiss his cheek, linking your arms together.
“sweetheart, what are you doing here—?”
bonus: rosa is absolutely enamoured by the dynamic the two of you have, it’s way too cute. it’s rare that she’s able to see artem become so flustered & she’ll definitely tease him for it later.
# 𝗩𝗬𝗡
honestly, he’s not even surprised that you figured it out.
he didn’t go out of his way to hide the location from you, but he didn’t exactly tell you what he was always running off to during the day (while he wasn’t at work, of course).
he greets you with a small smile, rather unfazed at the fact that you discovered the nxx headquarters.
he pats the free seat beside him, the other nxx members staring at vyn in incredulity, not understanding how he was able to be so calm after being found out.
“glad to see you could make it, darling.”
he intertwines your hands together, continuing on with the meeting as if you weren’t even there.
bonus: rosa is quite shocked at first, she thought that doctor richter would have more of a reaction to his s/o finding the headquarters. though, she has to admit that it’s cute to see how gentle he is with you.
# 𝗟𝗨𝗞𝗘
concern is the first emotion he feels when he sees you, that familiar expression on his face; furrowed eyebrows, a slight frown to his lips, arms crossed over his chest.
he hasn’t kept any secrets from you about his line of work, you know full well what he does for a living, but you’ve never had the opportunity to ask where he does his extra work.
he’s made it clear that he wants you far away from any danger, especially concerning his work at the nxx.
“how did you find this place, angel?”
he would 100% lecture you like he was your father.
but his strict façade falls when he sees your pouty little expression & he visibly softens.
bonus: rosa would take your side, reassuring luke that you’re an adult & know how to keep yourself safe. she knows how it feels to have luke fuss over her safety, but she thinks it’s cute how protective he is over his s/o.
# 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗨𝗦
he would probably scream at the top of his lungs if you decided to jump out & surprise him, like the drama-king he is.
he’d need a moment or two to recover from the scare, breathing heavily as he tried to steady his heart rate.
“babe, how did you even—?!”
you blink a couple of times & smile brightly, explaining to him that he was absolutely terrible at hiding his little secrets.
he would definitely be lectured by artem & vyn on the importance of confidentiality, as well as luke chiming in to tell him to protect the person he loves.
he’ll be a little pouty for the remainder of the time you stay, having been scolded by the other nxx members for poorly hiding the location of the headquarters.
bonus: rosa would laugh her ass off at marius’ reaction to you scaring him, she’d probably give you props too. she thinks it’s nice to see him get put in his place every now & then.
