Deku, who is now the number one hero and the symbol of peace, who meets the reader, an ex-villain during his at time at U.A,now she's a simple bartender but she remembers him.
"Oh you're Izuku Midoriya"
"Do I know you..?oh you are-"
Kinda awkward because at first you were to each other's neck, now you're serving him and his friends drinks, but that doesn't stop him to ask you out...
recognition flashes across the face of izuku.
"it's you..." he says, staring at you with wide eyes.
"it's me!" you reply with a smile while mixing a drink.
it's been a while since you've seen izuku midoriya. it was high school, and you found yourself caught up in some morally ambiguous organizations. you didn't plan to become a villian, but there you were, being chased down by the up and coming hero, deku.
since then, you've been through some rigorous villain-rehabilitation programs and are finally on the right track, scoring a steady job bartending and this local bar. past you would have never foreseen this.
but what you couldn't foresee was how goddamn good-looking that dorky hero that was chasing you down all those years ago would turn out to be. yet there he was in front of you, freckled skin and gorgeous green eyes that you could lose yourself in if you weren't careful.
"i-it's nice to see you," he says, nervously fidgeting.
it's cute to see that his boyish shyness never left.
"good to see you too... number one hero," you say teasingly, loving the way his skin turns bright red.
he nervously laughs and rubs the back of his neck, unknowingly showing off his drool-worthy arm muscles.
"yeah, i guess things have changed a bit since i last saw you," he says.
"well, last time you saw me, you were tackling me to the ground and handing me over to the police," you say pointedly.
izuku freezes in embarrassment. you start to feel bad for giving him a hard time, and begin to backtrack.
"it was for the best," you say. "after that, i got some help. and now i have this job and things are looking good."
you can see him let out a shaky breath before gently smiling at you. "that's good to hear."
"yep. it seems that every time our paths cross, you're here to change the direction of my life." you raise an eyebrow. "so... deku... what's it going to be this time?"
it’s fluff friday!
“Are you warm enough?”
his voice echoes in the silent street, the midnight glow of the moonlight illuminating his face.
As he spoke a visible cloud of warm breath escaped as he once more pulled on your coat making sure you were securely wrapped around.
The teeth biting frost beginning to make his cheeks grow rosey, his steel eyes drawn upon your body making sure no part was left vulnerable to the cold.
He froze at your silence, looking up for a mere second only for his eyes to meet yours.
“What?” He asked.
Your chest grew heavy as you let out a sigh, warm clouds escaping from your mouth, “nothing, nothing.”
“Are you cold?” He repeated, his eyes glossy blinking back at the wintry chill of the night.
You shook your head, digging your hands into your pockets, desperately trying to grasp on to the warmth before it disappeared.
You began slowly step by step, toes curling at the bleak temperature. The footsteps of his matching yours perfectly, never relenting. The vibration echoing in the empty street, the moonlight guiding your steps.
Neither of you said anything, silence carrying you through although your mind buried with one question. Urging you to suddenly speak out yet your body refused to even speak of it.
You looked up at the dark sky, free of clouds and if you squinted perhaps a star or two accompanied the pale moon, guiding you home.
You were okay right now.
Maybe not later.
But with him next to you feeling okay was the only thing you could feel.
Please, Muslim headcanons are an amusing read and truly warm my heart ♡♡♡.
levi as a muslim heacanons? you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to 😔 i’m just a strict muslim and seeing it would be fun
author note :: omg levi ramadan + muslim headcanons since it’s ramadan and the idea is super cute to me. me and my friends have always headcannoned him as muslim jokingly (tbh we do that with all anime characters) idk probably because i’m muslim and it makes me happy 😭 this is super short but i hope you like it anon !! +++ my requests are always open so feel free to drop by :-)
levi wakes everyone up for suhoor because he rarely ever sleeps so it makes sense for him to wake everyone up to eat
scolds anyone who hasn’t done wudhu correctly because prayer is nothing without cleanliness
tbh the hunger isn’t difficult for him he just finds it hard to let go of drinking tea as often
gets annoyed when sasha says “not even water.....???” and tells her she better be respectful
i do not have much else to add to be honest but he would definitely help clean up after suhoor, he isn’t lazy and won’t let one person clean up after everyone
feel like he would definitely be the type the drink lots of tea during suhoor so he can handle the day better
also have a feeling that he would constantly remind people to say bismillah before eating because,,, it’s very important to say bismillah :-)
makes fresh wudhu for all the prayers purely because he likes being clean
does not like how there are no official days off given for eid, but hey he’s humanities strongest he understands he can’t take a break even on eid
OKOK WAIT!!!!! big headcanon that me and a muslim friend have is that levi would be very good at doing mehndi/henna for eid celebrations
like he would be great at it totally yup, don’t argue with me it’s true!!!! he would do gabi’s henna
all in all, a very nice muslim :-)
i could add more but..... let me not go off on a tangent i could literally talk about this FOREVER
twirls hair. imagine flirting w strict driving instructor diluc, who has had enough with your reckless driving. absolutely sick of you inviting him to peek down your low cut shirt and “accidentally” touching his thigh as you reach for the joystick. just a fake ditzy giggle n oops! it’s so firm i mistook it as the gear shift ~
the way you’re not taking road safety seriously at all and pouting as if you should’ve passed the test without a hitch makes diluc frustrated, even more so when you plead for him to “bend the rules a little” and “not be so uptight.”
it’s really funny to you of course because when he’s releasing his frustration on your throat by fucking it, making tears spring up from your doe eyes, you know he’ll give you the pass and his number. diluc’s a gentleman so surely he’ll regret pounding your throat sore, after all you were too cute slurping with your hair tucked behind your ear, blinking up as if you ask with your gaze, am i doing good?
diluc definitely has a thing for praise hungry brats. (not projecting !!! nope. ps. i passed the exam w 100%, watch me hit you on the roads <3)
Wholesome Nanami Kento HC’s:
pairing: nanami x reader
tw: mentions of food
Nanami is the type to kiss you on the inside of your wrist as he pulls you into a hug. One hand wrapped around your waist, the other lifting your hand up to his lips as his eyes flutter shut.
While he doesn’t seem like the type, Nanami’s love language is physical touch. Admittedly, it’s a lot more toned down than when the trait manifests in others, but he’s always reaching out for you in some way. He can often be found during his days off absentmindedly rubbing his thumb on the back of your hand as he reads the newspaper, other notable examples including but not limited to: back hugs, massages, intertwining your fingers together. In public, Nanami is a lot more restrained, though.
Has a habit of gently swooping your hair into a braid when he sees you even the slightest bit overheated. If you have shorter hair, he’ll tie it or clip it back in some way. He’s just really attuned to your body and wants to keep you comfortable.
Has a Sunday morning ritual of going for a morning walk for some coffee and some sweet breakfast pastry, which he naturally involved you in as well once you moved in.
While this man can cook and has a rather refined taste considering his posh background, Nanami never hesitates when you wanna go out to eat at some dive diner. He’ll happily eat that burger or eat whatever street food you’re craving that night.
That being said, he is always sharing his food with you, even when you don’t ask. He will cut you a chunk of his steak and casually leave it on your plate/leave the last piece of sushi for you.
Anyways, I just think Nanami is such a gentle partner—his love is soft and subtle 🤍
Synopsis: The quirks of a mute s/o can be both difficult and frustrating but nevertheless, cute!
(Komi-san can't communicate AU in Genshin world. How the boys deal with your social anxiety and inability to speak)
Genre: fluff
Characters: Mondstadt edition. Kaeya, Diluc, Venti, Albedo
================================
Many know that the Mondstadt Tycoon is not fond of idle chit-chat, Diluc is a man of few words and his partner...someone with even fewer words.
At first, he found it unsettling the fact that every time the two were left alone he was met with pure silence. Then out of midair, you'll pull out a notebook asking how his day went. Though he does not mind the reading part, just the moments when it happened outside and everything was too dark to read. Luckily the Pyro Archon blessed him with the appropriate element for these situations. He's mindful not to burn them because one time he did.
You will never have to worry about forgetting your notebook because Diluc will be the one who will constantly remind you to the point it's almost annoying. But because he knows just how much of a frightful disposition you'll be in when your only ability to speak was taken away and he wouldn't want that. In fact, it also gives him anxiety. It pressures him to suddenly become a mind reader and learn how to handle your whirlwind of emotions which he is very very bad at. Ends up revealing a more awkward side of himself that he cringes every moment he thinks about it.
(You can tell he isn't a very good conversationalist either)
Just two shy people hanging out <3
Though this increases his protectiveness by a hundredfold. If you made a new friend, he would be the processor, the one to determine whether they'd be a right fit for you or simply those fiends that take advantage of others (Kaeya has a special class in this case, of course, he is considered omitted. Venti is high on his radar given how much he talks and how easily he can persuade you to do things). Jean once told him that you will never make any friends if he kept this up and when you agreed, he couldn't help sulking (don't blame him. He's trying his best to show 🥺affection🥺). Ensures that either his attendant, maid or Elzer would be the one accompanying you if you were to go to the city without him.
Yet Diluc is supportive in whatever you'll wish to pursue. He doesn't want to be the one holding you back in reaching your potential, instead of staying fearful for the rest of your life, he encourages you in subtle ways. His infinite patience to wait for those words to fall out of your mouth, even if it takes agonizingly long and giving praise despite it was only a few words. He tells you to take it one step at a time, you'll get there eventually and rely on him whenever you want.
For now the both of you just settle with writing letters. Although he has the choice to speak, Diluc grew fond of the traditional way of messaging and seeing the style of the way you write.
Unlike his brother, Kaeya has a way with words. He finds it amusing how you reply using a pen and pencil as well as the slight reactions on your face, you were like a puzzle that he enjoyed figuring out (eventually leading him to dive deeper in a relationship he was too late to get out from lmao classic Kaeya).
The pros of dating him was that 90% you didn't have to mutter anything and he already knows what you're thinking. You would just stare and he could tell that you were hungry. The same expression, it translates to "what did you do today Kaeya?". Not even the slightest change Kaeya can tell apart 'fearful' and 'cheerful'. A blink and a nod is enough for him to digest your...words. People question how was he so skilled with your silent language. That was because his brother was Diluc.
The downside is that it backfires. He can't stop himself from taking the opportunity to squeeze out a flustered expression from you every once in a while. No. That was an understatement. Too much to count. He's evil. Even though Kaeya knows exactly what you're trying to imply, he purposely mistakens it as something else more favourable to him. "Oh? Your eyes have been staring at me this whole time. Is this your invitation to kiss me?" And you'll frantically wave your arms to clearly reject that idea considering you two were in public but he'll simply interpret as a reaction of excitement >:) Then as you quickly search for your notebook you find it held needly between his two fingers, a smirk plastered wide on his face. He was having way too much fun (Diluc questions why you chose someone like him in the first place).
Jokes aside he finds you precious. You would be the type to wear your heart on your sleeve and it digs into his soft spot for he lacked tha aspect you possessed. Kaeya can read the mood pretty damn well, in gatherings he knows how to lead the conversation where you'll be comfortable in joining. Gives you headpats when you manage to say something, complimenting how cute your voice sounded. Will absolutely not let ANYONE get in the way of teasing you (only reserved for him heh) and if they do, they would definitely be met with the haunting gaze of the Cavalry Captain, sending a wave of coldair up their backs. Though the moment you turn around he was his usual happy self again.
Takes you to quieter places when the two of you have the time to go on the date and remembers all your favourite things to talk about, making it easier for you to engage. Kaeya won't force you to do anything you wouldn't like but he will always leave you an open door in which allows you to enter the time that you are ready.
"Sweetheart, why don't you try saying my name. Won't you? For me?"
"K-K-K-Ka-Ka....Kae............." "............................................."
Still a long way to go it seems.
A disorder where you are unable to speak? Yes, very very intruiging. This was probably the main reason what brought you guys together in the first place.
Well its true that Albedo only has good intentions, sometimes his curiosity can get the bettern of him combined with his lack of perceptivity when it comes to social norms. He didn't know that staring at you for long hours (he claims it to be behaviour observation) would cause you to be so petrified. Sucrose told him it was called anxiety. Albedo couldn't quite understand. To make matters worse, he goes up to you and straightforwardly asks "You have an unsual way of reacting to your environment. May I study you?" and the only reply he would get is you running away from him.
It was a good learning experience. Albedo had to navigate through the complexity of the human emotion.
In a sense, BOTH of you were very bad communication. Your end being the one who can't say anything at all and Albedo saying all the wrong things so blatantly. He read in a book that telling jokes can get someone to laugh hence he tried it, several in fact, go through a large list to see which joke would be the best (Venti in the background be writhing in pain). Lisa sees him often in the library as he browsed through the social section, borrowing more books that related to 'Communication for beginners'. She even had some recommendations (mostly for him though).
However it does not remove the fact that Albedo is extremely keen. He has the eye to notice the tiniest of behvioural changes and commits them to memory. Like the way your breath hitches in different patterns depending on the occasion, reflecting your mental state. Or the way your eyes suddenly light up, indicating that you saw something pleasant. What angers you. What scares you. What makes you happy. Albedo made it a habit to write all those things down, hoping one day that he could draw a conclusion and help you get rid of your anxiety once and for all.
When he sees you stuck in a conversation where the other person obviously couldn't tell their boundaries, Albedo wouldn't hesitate to be direct. So direct that it would hurt the other person's feelings and make them feel ashamed of what they had done. He didn't intend it to be this way. That was just his nature. You admired how brave he voiced his thoughts and suddenly felt a rush of pride from the way you looked at him.
Has actually experimented on being mute for just a day, wondering what it felt like to be you. He thinks it can give him some insight on how to handle your emotions. Needless to say, being the genius he was, Albedo flawlessly handled conversations without having to do anything.
Loudmouth. Can't shut up. Osana Najimi 2.0
Venti is your polar opposite, always spitting out rhymes and ballads as if having empty space of nothing was against the rules. You sometimes found it hard to keep up with all the information you had to digest by the speed of his words. Often te case would be that he would already be on the next subject way before you could finish writing your sentence. (Conversations with Venti would only leave your wrist to have chronic pain so its better to listen instead).
With all said and done, Venti made it his mission to get you laughing. Just a little. It would really brighten his day! (Take notes Albedo). His first experiment would be playing a prank on an unfortunate soul but it would end up getting him a warning from the knights and a harsh lecture from Diluc (threatening that if he ever did that again he would be banned from the tavern for life except that one of them had enough time to outlast the other ehe). The second experiment was pathetic. It was Kaeya's idea. To get him so drunk and see him sing ballads in that state will get you to laugh. You were only worried about his health and brought him safely to your home so that didn't work. The third attempt he finds out that you're ticklish and it escalates from there.
"You have a pretty voice (Y/n), you should use it more!"
In truth, the bard knows how much value one's voice can bring as he himself uses his own to sing. Venti writes songs out of the words you wrote in your notebook and although they made no sense, it was rather sweet how he managed to put them together in a way that expressed your thoughts. Music is an expression of one's own feelings too, hence he taught you how to use the lyre. Occassionaly Venti would also grab a parchement and ink to follow your methods too, only for fun, smiling all the way. And to make things more interesting, he'll turn it into a drawing session where the two of you communicate only through pictures.
When you feel afraid of the world, as if the weight is dawning upon you, Venti knows exactly how to lighten up the mood. Its just part of who he is. Because of that you were eager to return the favor, to find your voice so that one day you can make him laugh too.

Laying on Kaeya's lap with his feathered fluffy scarf acting like a pillow while he's filling in paperwork at the Favonius Headquarters. It's all silent in the room as all you can hear are the slight shuffles of the paper, movement of the quil when being refilled with more ink and crackles of the fire from the candles.
His focus on the paperwork was suddenly on the soft yawn that had come from you. With him insisting that you can take a nap on his lap and that he'll wake you up when he's finished, you reluctantly agree and take his offer but when your about to thank him your eyelids start to grow heavier the more you keep them open.
Soon enough your eyes close and now your met with darkness as sleep has engulfed you full. Kaeya watched you fall into slumber and silently chuckles to himself before continuing on with the unwritten papers, unconsciously patting your head.
"Who knew that you would be able to make me feel welcomed like this love, you truly are the light in my dark path."

Diluc reading a book with you situated on his lap while he reads out to you. It's been a long and tiresome day at the bar having to deal with drunkards, specifically speaking of Kaeya and Venti, and now all he wants to do is to be in your company.
His voice was calming to the ear and you couldn't help yourself but to yawn numerous times as he continues to read out loud to the both of you. Of course it doesn't take long till he notices this and has offered for you to rest on his chest, happily accepting the offer you had moved to get into a comfortable position before laying your head on his firm chest.
Checking to see if your comfortable, he continues on with reading. And it's not long before your eyelids feel heavy as you desperately try to stay awake but alas, sleep has taken over you. Diluc noticed and lowered the book onto the bedside table, limiting his movements he adjusted the both of you to lay flat and covered your bodies with the blanket. Admiring your face for a while and tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, he just can't seem to get enough of you.
"Rest my little flame, tomorrow is a new day and I'll be there waiting."

Your currently sitting down at Tartaglias side in the Northland Bank helping him with finishing off some papers. There's no one in the building except for the two of you at this ungodly hour of night, all was seen from the window of his office were the shining lights of Liyue.
It's a calming atmosphere between you both, with you slightly humming a tune from time to time since he doesn't seem to mind it. Though you have yawned throughout it at times and he had tried several times to get to bed as he will follow on later after finishing them, yet stubbornly you seem to decline it every single time saying "I can wait, I'm not that tired."
Up until now where your soft snores have taken over the room. Chuckling to himself, he had quietly placed down his papers and quil for the night as he carefully stood up from his chair, carrying you bridal style to one of the spare couches in the room as he lays you on top of his chest and with a blanket over the two of you.
"Wow girlie, what ever are you going to do without me hm?"

Zhongli's shoulders are a bit tense at first when you had placed your head upon it but after getting used to it he lets you do so willingly. As for the two of you, your both at the Funeral Parlour and there's only few people who are still working like Hu Tao and Zhongli himself.
You on the other hand had intended on visiting him and to accompany him while he's finishing off so he won't get so lonely. He even had some tea brewed up for the two of you while chatting, Zhongli's doing most of the talking though, about the history of Liyue and the contracts that have been made throughout.
Let's be honest, with a voice like his there's no possible way that you won't be able to fall asleep after a while. He takes note of it and gently guides your head to his shoulders and slings his arm around your waist to ensure that you won't slip off the seat next to him while continuing to do his work.
"Oh, it seems like my storytelling has bored you enough haha. A bit of shut-eye doesn't seem to hurt, sleep well gem."

It's a clear day in the Bubu Pharmacy and Baizhu had once again ordered Qiqi to go out and gather some herbs while he stayed to take care of the clients. You had offered to go along and help Qiqi with herb gatherings yet she had kindly declined your offer and with that she had begun to leave the pharmacy.
Now leaving you with Baizhu and some other workers, he had been observing you at times and has seen that you'd became drowsy at times and how you would take "a small nap" only for it to become a full 1 hour+ rest on your work table.
Seeing that, he had allowed for you to rest your head on his shoulders, despite his weak physical condition, as it was still to early in the morning for any customers to come in. Just be careful of Changshen that's situated on his shoulders too.
"My my, doing yourself in no good such as getting the lack of sleep isn't going to help much, dear. Take some shut-eye but be careful of Changshen, she doesn't like it when she's squashed."

It's not everyday that the two of you rest in order to eliminate the abyss order but when you do, you can find yourself situated on Dainsleif's lap with your head leaning against his chest listening to the surroundings and his starry cape wrapped around your form.
It's night and the two of you are taking refuge underneath a big sakura tree in Inazuma, initially the both of you were dealing with some abyss mages and shadowy husks. Everything was going well until a shadowy husk had caught you off guard allowing yourself to be vulnerable for a minute and before you know it, it had attacked your figure leaving a deep cut into your skin.
Dainsleif was able to wipe out the others of his powers and now leaving yourself and him, he was going to question you if you were able to move forward but upon seeing your form he did quick work of the wound and cleaned up the blood before patching it up. This is now resulting in where you're at now, relaxing at your pace as Dainsleif's looking over your form.
"Perhaps it would've been greater if you wouldn't have joined me from the beginning, there's a lot more to go through but if you're able to keep up then I guess travelling with you is something I'll continue to look forward to."

Notes: This is a Secret Santa gift for @miam0re
Here's her gift to me! Will Always Want You [Albedo]
A Moment in a Million [Morax | Rex Lapis | Zhongli]
The nights were colder in Liyue Harbor than they were in Mondstadt.
You’d learn this quickly upon your arrival.
You’d also learn of Liyue’s rich history
as told by Wangsheng Funeral Palor’s Consultant,
Zhongli.
You met him by chance as you were torn deciding between Stone Harbor Delicacies or Noodles with Mountain Delicacies at Liuli Pavilion.
“I recommend Mountain Delicacies.” You jolted at the velvety voice.
“Noodles in a meat-and-vegetable sauce. The sauce has a rustic flavor, and there's a generous amount of it mixed in with the noodles. A humble but enduringly popular dish.”
Glancing over your shoulder, you met with eyes of melted amber. You gave him a smile before turning back to the woman.
“I’ll take two of those, then,” You glanced back “That is… if you’re willing to join me.”
He smiled.
One that was sure to shine brighter as the lone moon in the sky.
He spoke of many things, like the origins of Blackcliff Forge and the Lantern Rite.
To the inner workings of procuring the finest ore.
But he also listened,
He listened to you speak of your homeland.
Even if his smiled said that he knew,
his eyes danced with unique curiosity.
And as he walked you home, listening to the chirps of night.
You realized:
You were in love.
What a way to start off in a new land.
Zhongli reminded you of your late grandmother’s large house.
Full of mysteries and wonder.
A place where your imagination ran wild.
She kept the main rooms, where guests were allowed to roam, neat and tidy.
You’d never expect the dark corners of cobwebs and bugs,
or the old paintings that seemed to watch you walk down the hall.
Like the main room, he was bright and inviting.
Yet his dark halls were pillars of amber, cold and unyielding.
Sometimes, you’d catch him looking off into the distance, far beyond the harbor.
Far beyond Teyvat.
Your heart sank at the discovery.
You were but a fleeting moment in his life
while he remained in bygone memories.
Never to be forgotten
And yet,
Never to be seen again.
“I’ll never get used to these cold winters.” You murmured as you cupped your hands over your mouth, attempting to warm them.
“Even though you've been here for three years now?” Zhongli hummed. “How odd. I thought you would have been accustomed to it by now.”
“Yeah, maybe… but things here are very different. Mondstadt’s never had a breeze other than inviting.” You shoved your hands into your pockets. “These winters are… harsh.”
“And the winters of the City of Freedom are not?” He titled his head.
A sign that he truly didn’t know the answer to the question posed.
“Not really. If the winds are cold they feel as if they’re teasing. Not enough to sting.”
He chuckled (You liked the sound of it). “Yes… the people of Liyue are built more sturdy than other regions.” He paused, “maybe not as sturdy as Snezhnayains.” He trailed off, eyes far off.
The melted amber hardening.
So you watched the sunset,
as he reminisced.
“I’m sure you have questions for me.”
On the day of his birth,
final day of the year,
he broke the serene silence.
“And yet, I’m sure you know.”
You did.
Zhongli was no mortal man.
He knew too much.
Not only of ancient histories, but down to the minuscule minerals in ore.
His eyes glowed in a way different than that of vision users.
His “Vision” didn’t hum like yours.
Like it was a fake,
but it still smoldered when used.
And when Rex Lapis died
And Liyue almost fell to an ancient god, but was saved by mortals and adepti.
He seemed relieved.
A heavy weight removed from his shoulders.
You couldn’t deny it any longer.
You nodded, “but I want to hear you say it.”
Harden amber swirled with mixed emotions. “I am Rex Lapis, God of Contracts.”
“Morax, The Warrior God.” You added, watching as fear took the forefront.
“Yes.” The word laid heavy on his soul. Strong stance crumbing at the confession.
“A god who has lived for more than six thousand years.” You bit your lip. “While the life of a mortal is but a flash of lightning. Fleeting.”
He said nothing.
So this is how it ended.
On his birthday, as the sands of time turned anew.
However, there wouldn’t be a renewal of this relationship.
“Why would you waste my time?” Tears gathered on your lower lashes. “My life is as small as a speck of dust compared to yours.
“Why spend four of my short years on something that would only bring us both heartache in the end?
“I’ve spent four years loving you… only to be a flame’s flicker in the end…”
You couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Tears fell as waves down your cheeks, washing over the amber necklace he’d given you as a gift your second year in Liyue.
You wanted to take it off, to rid yourself of him.
But you couldn’t.
Unlike a god, you couldn’t throw away love as true as this.
“Please allow me to temper your wilding thoughts.” He sounded… unsure.
You didn’t blame him. You were a sobbing mess at this point, but you were able to calm yourself enough to allow him to try to reason with your unreasonable thoughts.
“I apologize for making you feel as though the time we’ve spent together has been a waste on my part. On the contrary, the time spent with you is unparalleled.”
You rolled your eyes. “You are literally the oldest of the Seven, Zhongli.”
“Yes,” He smiled sadly, “but that does not make me immune to erosion.
“I made a contract with the Tsaritsa. A contract to end all contracts, if you will. Liyue did not fall and so the contract was fulfilled.
“I handed over my gnosis— my connection to Celestia, and have thus been living as a mortal man.
“As Zhongli.
“Soon my godly powers will diminish and I will corrode like any other. So, while I remain on this plane, I ask:
“Will you allow me to spend my final days with you?”
By now your tears had stopped.
His words made sense, and you didn’t think he was lying to you.
Maybe you had rushed into the worst possible situation too quickly.
Your cheeks began to sting as the blood rushed to them.
“You’re asking if I’ll have you?” You crossed your arms with a raised brow.
He smirked. “Familiar, is it not?”
You rolled your eyes, but couldn’t help but grin.
“A moment with you is that of a million, my dear.” He coaxed you into his lap, placing a hand on your cheek. “If you’re willing to join me, that is.”
You smiled.
One reminisce of the sun peeking over the mountains.
Then gave him a searing kiss as the clocks struck 12, pouring every bit of you love into him.
Just as he poured back into you.
Tonight, you’ve brought in the new year with a new understanding of each other.
He was a god no longer and you were a singularity.
Together you realized:
This love was one in a million.
A love that would never be repeated in the infinite cycle of tree and sea.
A love that marks the trunk and abyss.
A love that is purely
You and Zhongli.
:) Happy Holidays to all and to all a
Grandpa's gonna sue the pants off of Santa, 'cause grandma would have wanted him to. (No pantalones)
Imma be real, the whole holiday aspect got away from me and it just ended up being cold.
TBH, this whole fic got away from me . Zhongli and Reader took the wheel, kicked me out the car and drove into the sunset. At least they're happy lol
Btw, this also doubled as a birthday fic for Zhongli???

avoiding your crush
feat. Childe, Kazuha, Ayato
CHILDE
You used to visit Childe at work all of the time. Keyword: used.
But when you came to terms with the fact that you were developing feelings for your friend, the visits became less frequent. Eventually you stopped all together. It was difficult for you to be around him without your heart threatening to burst out of your chest at any given moment.
Things were going well- er as well as it could be. You thought avoiding Childe would help settle your heart but you only began to miss him more. Still, you knew that this had to be done for the both of you. But when you were heading back to your place after stopping by the market, you were surprised to see Childe standing outside your door.
“Ajax,” you awkwardly smile at him as if you hadn’t been ignoring him for a couple weeks now, “shouldn’t you be working right now?”
Childe frowns at you as he follows you into your home, “I haven’t seen you in two weeks and that’s the first thing you say? Why haven’t you been visiting me? Or even hanging out with me during my free time?”
Your smile drops. Honestly, you had been hoping that he was too busy to notice your absence.
“I- errr,” you hesitate, thinking of what sort of excuse you could use. but before you can speak more, Childe is already bombarding you with questions.
“Is there a reason why you stopped coming by? Is there someone in the Fatui making you uncomfortable?” he asks, a mixture of worry and anger riddled across his face.
“I- what? No it’s not like that—” your own eyes widen, realizing that Childe got the wrong impression as the result of your actions.
“Are you being threatened by someone? Is it another Harbinger? It’s Scaramouche isn’t it? I should have kn-”
“No! It’s none of that Ajax! It’s you— I don’t show up anymore because I like you and I don’t know what to do about it!” you yell, completely frustrated that he wouldn’t let you utter a single word. But as quickly as you said it, you come to regret your words.
Childe stands there in shock, and you know that you’ve messed up. You’ve essentially ruined the friendship you had with him by digging up the feelings you’ve been trying so desperately to hide.
“Wait no, please let me explain-” you try to come up with some sort of excuse for your words, but Childe shakes his head.
“Y/n, I’m going to go outside for just a second. Let me gather my thoughts please” he calmly tells you. And before you can even respond he steps out of your house, gently closing the door behind him.
But not even a minute passed and Childe reenters your house- albeit not looking that much different than he did before.
“I’m going to need you to repeat what you said for me please” he asks, his demeanor still calm. You can’t get a read on his expression, but you’re inclined to believe that he was upset with you.
“No I- well, what I meant was-” you start to stammer, trying to find away to retract your words and have it so he never heard you in the first place. In the midst of your incoherent ramblings, Childe walks up to yours standing a mere foot away.
He brings his hands up to your cheeks, and you have no choice but to look up at him.
“Y/n,” there was something about the tone in his voice- it was so soft but also so desperate, “please, repeat what you said. I want to make sure I heard correctly before I do anything”.
His words made you pause- because you could have a suspicion regarding the motive behind his words. But you’d rather not jump to any conclusions. Still, he was your closest friend that asked for your honesty.
“...I like you Ajax,” you finally admit.
Childe’s eyes widen ever so slightly, as if it was the first time he heard these words. He presses a kiss to your forehead before leaning his own forehead against yours, sighing in relief.
You felt your own cheeks warming up, and surely he could feel it too.
“You’re too precious, Y/n” he murmurs under his breath.
He straightens up, pleased with the flustered look on your face. But before he could tease you any further, he checks the time, cursing under his breath.
“Damn, okay I actually have to head back right now. But once I’m done with everything, let’s talk, yeah? I have something to confess to you too,” he grins at you, sneaking a quick kiss on your cheek before taking off.
You still stood in your house, groceries in hand, absolutely shocked at what just happened. Your cheeks continued to burn as you replayed his words in your brain.
It was certainly something to look forward to.
KAZUHA
When moment came around and you realized you had feelings for Kazuha, your closest friend, you honestly weren’t sure what to make of it. Perhaps this was just a small crush that would dissipate. It made sense- Kazuha was cute, he always knew the right things to say to make anyone’s heart flutter. Yours especially.
But the crush didn’t go away. If anything, you started to like him more as the days went by. You started noticing little details about him that only made him seem more endearing to you. And your heart couldn’t take it.
Just being around Kazuha made you frantic. You couldn’t help it when your gaze naturally lingered towards him, or the way you subconsciously stood perhaps the slightest bit too close to him. You felt like your heart was pouring out- and you were honestly afraid of coming off as overbearing around him.
And so, you started to distance yourself from the samurai. Not forever- just temporarily until you were able to ket yourself in check. You didn’t think much about your actions; in fact you thought that perhaps he wouldn’t even recognize your absence during this time.
But one morning, you hear knocking at your door, and who else wold be standing in front than Kazuha himself? By this point, two weeks have already passed.
“Kazuha! What brings you here?” you nervously ask. The feelings you had for him didn’t settle down at all- if anything, seeing him like this after two weeks made your heart beat even faster.
But Kazuha remains stoic.
“Well, we haven’t spoken in a while, and everytime I see you out you seem to ignore me or walk in the other direction. Care to explain?” he asks you.
You can’t answer him. How would you come up with a reasonable explanation that didn’t give away all of your feelings at once?
“Have I done something wrong?” Kazuha asks once more, and you’re unable to meet his gaze, unsure of what to say.
But he takes your silence as an answer.
“I see,” he says, his eyes darting down to the floor, “well, I’m really sorry I’ve upset you. I’d like to know what I did wrong, but if you no longer wish to see me then I’ll respe-”
“No, it’s not like that!” you exclaim in full panic.
“Sometimes I just don’t know how to act around you and wait- it’s not like I’m intimidated by you or anything it’s because I get really nervous around you and my heart starts racing a lot and I think you’re really amazing-” you continue rambling about. Words were never your strong suit, a direct contrast to Kazuha’s natural tendency to be oh so articulate.
The samurai smiles, folding his arms as he leans against the doorway. Even amidst your babbling, he’s able to grasp the situation. He’s just waiting for you to say it first.
“I make you nervous? In what way? The same frightening way that monsters appear to new adventurers?” Kazuha asks you, his lips forming a small grin.
"What? No of course not! I’m not like scared of you in that way! It’s just that.. that..”
You fumble around with your words, and lose all composure as you become a flustered mess. Kazuha only chuckles, pulling you close to him so he could rest his forehead on your shoulder. If you weren’t so wrapped up with your words, you would’ve noticed the way Kazuha’s cheeks were absolutely flushed.
“I’m sorry— I didn’t mean to tease you so much. Take your time Y/n, and tell me when you’re ready, yeah?” he reassures you.
You don’t say a single word in response, only nodding along to his question. One of these days, you’d have the courage to face him and be honest with your feelings. And Kazuha could wait forever for that day.
Because unbeknownst to you, while you felt like your heart was racing all of the time around Kazuha, his heart was experiencing the same exact thing. It was only a matter of time before you would learn this though.
AYATO
Being friends with the Kamisato Clan certainly held a lot of perks. Not that you ever utilized these privileges— you were truly close to the Kamisato siblings (and Thoma) simply because you enjoyed being around them.
You were especially close with Ayato. You spent most of your free time up at the estate, and not a day went by where you weren’t in his office, chatting with him. Ayato insisted that you weren’t a bother and that he had just finished his work by the time you showed up- though you had doubts that this happened every time you swung by.
It didn’t take long for you to develop the biggest puppy crush on him.
Nor did it take long for rumors to circulate about you two.
You were walking around Inazuma City, aiming to buy groceries for the next hot pot game planned. And that’s when you heard the hushed whispers behind you.
“Isn’t that the one close to the Kamisato siblings?”
“I think so- I heard they’re just trying to get close to Ayato because he’s the head”
You stilled at their words- none of it was true of course. But you didn’t have any courage in you to tell them otherwise. You genuinely liked Ayato, and you never once used the Kamisato name to uplift yourself. Would anyone believe you though? You were still an outsider, so anyone would see you as someone trying to climb the social ladder. How frustrating. Normally you wouldn’t mind, but what if Ayato thought the same? You constantly pestered him— was he just humoring you this entire time while secretly resenting you?
And from the day onwards, you kept your visits to the estate to a minimum- only swinging by to finish any errands you had with them. And even when you were there, you avoided going to Ayato’s office, only speaking to Ayaka and Thoma. Hopefully he was too swamped with his duties to realize your absence.
But to hope for that was asking for too much.
Because days later, as you were strolling through Inazuma City, you felt a quick tap on your shoulder. Once you turned your head, you were greeted by Ayato’s face, mere inches away from your own.
“Found you,” Ayato smiles, and you feel your cheeks warming up. But before you can let your heart run wild, your eyes do a quick scan of the area around you. It was quite the busy street, and Ayato was bound to be recognized. You quickly grabbed his arm, pulling him to behind one of the shops and out of view from any passerby's.
“What are we doing back here? C’mon, lets go to the shops and buy stuff for our next hot pot game. We had to postpone the last one since you didn’t show up” Ayato says, grasping your hand in his and bringing you back to the bustling streets. You try resisting, still in a panic that someone could see the two of you together.
“Ayato wait no! People might think-” your pleads are quickly interrupted and Ayato comes to a halt, turning back around to face you. His usual smile was gone, replaced with a more serious expression.
“You don’t think I know what the latest gossip is around here? People talk nonsense all of the time. No matter what we do, they’ll always scrutinize us. I’ve learned to just ignore it and let it die down” Ayato tells you.
He hesitates for a second, and the look in his eyes turn solemn.
“However, if you still have objections, I’ll respect your decisions” he says, and you notice how the grip he has on your hand loosens a bit. Because maybe he could ignore these rumors, but the gossip subject was you, and Ayato didn’t know if you wanted to be entangled in such a lifestyle that would warrant this much attention.
You shake your head, adjusting your hand so that the two of you were now interlocking fingers.
“No… I’m fine with them. I just didn’t want you to believe in them either,” you murmur.
Ayato smiles softly at you, “I would never,” he reassures you before bringing your hand up to his lips, pressing a soft kiss on the back of your hand. From the corner of your eye you saw how people turned away, whispering amongst themselves. But neither of you cared at all.
“You know if they’re going to keep talking about how you’re using us to gain social status- might as well make you a Kamisato then,” Ayato chuckles, giving you a little wink. Flustered, you divert your gaze away, choosing to focus on the shops the two of you were walking past instead.
You don’t even want to think about what he could be implying— surely he was teasing you. But while you were too busy looking away from him, you missed the way he sported the fainted blush across his cheeks.
You really didn’t think you could love Shinichiro more than you already did.
None of you both had ever been big fans of love. Not even in an edgy love-isn’t-real way, but love simply didn’t matter that much, nor it was something you both went out looking for in life.
Even after a year and a half of being together, you still couldn’t tell much difference from when you were “just friends”, apart from the kissing.
But whenever you got to catch a glimpse of Shinichiro around his younger brother and his friends, something in you could feel it.
“Oi, Mikey, who even let y’all in here, huh? Shouldn’t you be at school?”, Shin’s voice echoed in the garage, and you giggled, sat on the motorbike he was cleaning.
He wiped his hands with a towel, the cloth now dirty with oil, and he rubbed his forehead with the back of his wrist, eyes fixed on his brother and two of his friends. They looked at you, sweet smiles on their faces, but eyes colored with mischief.
You shrugged when your boyfriend turned to look at you, a playful grin plastered on his features.
“Don’t look at me like that, it wasn’t me!”, you defended yourself, but shoot the kids a wink.
A yelp left your throat when you felt Shin’s hands wrap around your wrists, pulling you to his dirty body, wrapping his arms around your waist and he laughed.
“Leave her alone, pervert”, his younger brother spoke, holding back his laughter as your boyfriend let go of you to give him an offended look.
“Yeah, she’s waaayyy too pretty for you, Shinichiro”, Keisuke said, and you laughed, but were fast to take the dirty cloth from Shin’s hand before he threw it to the kid.
“Baji’s right, we hope you know you could do better, Y/n”, it was a surprise to see Draken join, but it didn’t disappoint, and you laughed again at Shin’s shocked expression.
He walked over to the three kids, messing Mikey and Baji’s hair with his hands, and lightly tapping Draken’s forehead as he clicked his tongue.
The boys laughed as he explained to them how, ‘as literal babies with zero girlfriends in total, they were in no place to comment on his relationship, but he would gladly give them advice if they ever needed it’
The kids rolled their eyes, hiding their blushed cheeks when the older boy pointed out how they were only being little bitches to him because they were jealous because of how beautiful you were, and how they all liked you so much, before giving you a fast goodbye and running out of the garage.
“Those kids, I swear…”, he started speaking as he turned back to you, rolling his eyes with a grin in his lips. He always had that look on his eyes when they were around, like he wanted to make them laugh, to take care of them, “So young and so fucking annoy— mhpm!”.
You cut him off with a kiss, to which he answered by wrapping his arms around your waist, holding you close.
“What was that for, doll..? You’ve got your pretty face all dirty with oil now, dumm—”.
“You’ll be a great dad one day, Shin”, you said, and he closed his mouth, looking at you with gentle eyes and a playful grin, “We’ll be the best parents to ever walk Earth, right?”.
“I promise you we will”.

Very confused
He grabs your phone carefully and gets shocked and scared when it turns on
Imagine a cat tapping something because they’re curious about what it is
Yep, that’s Giyuu
Asks you small simple questions about what it is but other than that is very quiet while looking through it
He sucks at switch games
Mf literally would die so quick so he likes to play more calmer games
Sometimes you’ll catch him playing animal crossing very late at night just fishing, all he does is literally fish in that game
Needless to say, he has everything in the museum
His reasoning is, “It’s so much more calmer, this is the kind of life I would like to have.”
He glares at the devices as if it’s going to be scared and cower back
Is like an old man trying to figure out how to use a phone for the first time
It’s embarrassing to look at, please help him
He absolutely loves playing games on your switch or phone
But he’ll always get easily mad at any game and get really hyped up for literally no reason.
Mf could literally be playing cooking mama, animal crossing or stardew valley and you’ll just hear him yelling at the game
The volume is as loud as a call of duty lobby
I like to think he sucks at Mario Kart and whenever you beat him he’ll demand to play again and blame it on something random
“ITS CAUSE YOU PUSHED ME, THATS WHY I LOST.”
“I’m literally like five feet away from you.”
You might want to watch over him so he doesn’t accidentally break something
Those weird electronic you have will always pique his interest
It doesn’t matter how many times he’s seen or used it, he’ll never get bored of it
He might look disinterested because of his face but don’t be fooled since he’s really into it
He’s especially good at games
Loves to play any Mario game, stardew valley or Splatoon because of the bright colors
He’s good at games without even meaning to- he can probably still win while asleep
Loves to play with you since he can lay on your lap while doing so
Loves the new music- sometimes he finds it funny and says how some music is shit- but there’s some he really likes!
He loves songs where you literally can’t understand what they’re saying because of the auto tune or really calm songs- by songs I mean rain or calming forest sounds
Sometimes when he’s playing while laying down on your lap and he’s really sleepy the console would fall on his face and he’ll still be asleep
He also seems to me, to like playing sally face and ddlc- and also if this was a modern au, he would def have a creepypasta and undertale phase and no, I don’t take criticism
Inspects every electronic you have with you and has many questions on how they work
With more and more of her questions getting answered by you, her questions will get more and more complex and difficult to answer
So get ready to use your big wrinkly brain to answer her questions
She’s secretly very competitive when playing games and likes to let out snarky comments whenever she wins
But whenever she loses, you’ll notice her grip on the controller gets a little bit more tighter and how her her smile literally doesn’t change
She loves playing any fighting games (super smash bros) or Mario kart because of the different characters powers or because she loves hitting others with shells or letting the plant bite them in Mario kart
It always makes her giggle and will boost her ego a bit every time she hits them while playing
Very intrigued by the electronics you have
Likes asking many questions and is always fascinated by each answer- even if it’s just a simple answer
“Why did the numbers change?”
“It cause’ a minute went by.”
“Fascinating!”
Modern music will always confuse him but he lowkey vibes with it
It could be the shittiest of shittiest music to ever exist and he’ll still fuck with it
He likes rap and only because he’s shocked at how they can say words so fast- he gets even more shocked if the music talks about mature things
Mf will look so astonished
But other than that, he still likes the music and will even show it to Uzui and Mitsuri and together, they’re a rap trio with Muichiro sometimes joining in
Muichiro lowkey got some fire bars ngl like if he was ever in roast/rap battle he’ll fucking obliterate them, he’s a little menace
Rengoku and Uzui listen to carti
He loves playing games with you!
He doesn’t like playing alone since it makes him feel lonely
Likes playing super Mario deluxe with you and sometimes you won’t be able to pass through the levels because he won’t stop jumping and moving back and forth when he’s riding a yoshi
Likes carrying you around on his head so you don’t have to do anything and will throw you up on top of the flag pole to make sure you get a 1up
