Notes:

Look this is just pure self indulgent Crack and did I write this at 1 in the morning with less than 10 hours left for my finals? Yes, yes I did because my brain is a little bitch who wanted to write gay chatfics instead of letting me study for my exams.

Chapter 1: Mondstadt bitches

Notes:

I wrote this at like 1 in the morning so if u see any typos blame the characters' typing skills not me

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Venti: I think pretty much everyone has heard of the series

 

Venti: I especially love the ballad version

 

Albedo: I find it slightly odd that none of the characters are named but yes I agree it is one of the most phenomenal pieces of literature out there

 

Bennett: My dads used to read that me as bedtime stories and man did it really fire up the spirit of an adventurer in me

 

Fischl: Thine own Princessine agrees with all of you for her regalness herself was enthralled by the intricacies of the narrative and the anonymity of the heroes as well as the spectacular depictions of heroes battling against horrendous beats and mighty foes

 

Oz: She means to say she loves the book too especially the fact that the heroes names are kept a secret and all the cool fighting scenes

 

Aether: Honestly mood

 

Razor: Story?

 

Lisa: Oh Razor my boy!! You are hear too!!

 

Razor: teacher lisa

Venti: Please

 

Venti: I would give away my last stash of apples to Razor in a beat if he asked 

 

Razor: but I like meat

 

Razor: and potatoes 

 

Lisa: u seeing this?

 

Lisa: this is my boi I love him very much touch him and u are dead 

 

Mona: Is this a bad time to say I have never read TTAAT

 

Lisa: Mona be at my house by 6 or I will personally kidnap u 

 

Mona: terrifying but okay

 

Aether: JeanLisa: Parenting done right 

 

Lumine: All hail JeanLisa parent troupe

Xiangling: Just popping in to remind everyone that the Childe vs Beidou duel is starting in a few moments and many are already here to watch and wow Aether is sweating buckets while Zhongli is calmly discussing with Ningguang what I think are countermeasures to the agreement if Childe loses and is that Kazuha tied up in a corner with his mouth gagged my man looks so terrified and confused I feel almost bad for him

 

Xiangling: For those curious Lumine and Xiao are here too and tied up and gagged right next to Kazuha, Lumine just looks done with everything and probably wants to jump off a building the first chance she gets while Xiao looks scary af and I am hundred per cent sure he will bite anyone who approaches him

 

Yanfei: Thank you for the extremely detailed and perfectly accurate summary Xiangling 

 

Xingqiu: Wait this is good writing material I am coming to watch

 

Yanfei: …..how exactly

 

Yanfei: ……is it good writing material?

 

Xingqiu: a happily married lesbian couple has their only son taken away from their home and so they both embark on a long journey to find their son and beat the shit out of the ginger gay who kidnapped him who also happens to have a side romance with a weirdly knowledgeable but also handsome funeral consultant 

 

Xinyan: Love the fact that tho this all started with lumine and Xiao they are not mentioned once in Xingqiu's story summary

 

Childe: why wont any of u just use my name

 

Xingqiu: cause u are the only foreigner here?

 

Childe: Aether and Lumine are literally right there

 

Xingqiu: they are an exception everyone knows that u dumb ginger

 

Childe: …..

 

Beidou: U coming to fight or not gay boy I don't got all day

 

Childe: Oh I am ready let's make this the most memorable fight of our lives

 

Beidou: HAH

 

Beidou: Now thats good enthusiasm right there I almost thought of going easy on u

 

Childe: Don't insult me like that

 

Beidou: I won't I am giving it my all so u better too

 

Childe: Of course comrade

 

Chapter 3: Haha I would never poison you what

Chapter Text

Childe created group chat [New Group Chat]

Childe added Aether, Ayaka, Itto, Kokomi, Lumine and Others to the group chat [New Group Chat]

Childe changed the group chat name to [Inazuman Comrades]

 

Kazuha: I am having a lot of mixed feelings abt the fact that i was just added into a groupchat by my kidnapper

 

Yoimiya: I just know that there is a very interesting story behind that and I wanna know it

 

Aether: Basically childe went and kidnapped Kazuha to provoke beidou and ningguang and have a duel with beidou

 

Kokomi: Ohmygod

 

Kujo Sara: What an absolute madman what happened next

 

Aether: it ended in a draw and both of them pretty beat up 

 

Aether: they wanted to continue but luckily zhongli and ningguang stopped them and agreed to just release kazuha and lumine and Xiao and now beidou and childe are regular fighting buddies cause apparently their near death fight was very 'fun"

 

Kokomi: Fun-

 

Kujo Sara: I am not even gonna comment 

 

Gorou: Wait what's the deal with lumine and Xiao

 

Childe: Aether how could u forget to mention the fact that the reason the whole thing happened was because i was being a good frnd and trying to get ur sister and boyfriend back from ningguang's evil clutches after she kidnapped them 

 

Aether: XIAO IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND 

 

Lumine: Yet*

 

Aether: I should have left u with ningguang 

 

Lumine: Xiao respects me too much to let that happen

 

Aether: 

 

Aether: Fuck 

 

Gorou: The Liyuens sound wild

 

Kazuha: My moms are from liyue watch ur mouth

 

Gorou: weren't u literally complaining like yesterday that two powerful liyuen lesbians have suddenly adopted u and arent letting u go and how u wished u hadn't chosen this place

 

Kazuha: that was before I got kidnapped and got rescued by them and realised the importance of family

 

Lumine: Love the character arc where Kazuha went from "These foreign lesbians wont leave me alone" to "Talk shit about my moms and I will kill you"

 

Lumine: Also

 

Lumine: I am disappointed in u childe

 

Childe: ?????????

 

Lumine: I thought I taught u better when it came to naming group chats

 

Childe: But Comrade :(

 

Kokomi: personally I like it

 

Thoma: Me too!!

 

Lumine: Yall can't be serious

 

Lumine: I am changing the name 

 

Childe: Lumine truth or dare

 

Lumine: Dare

 

Aether: I-I do not want to be a part of this

 

Childe: coward

 

Childe: N e way

 

Childe: Lumine what's yo type

 

Lumine: Short, cute, has hair like starlight, high ponytail, very sweet and gentle, may or may not have an older brother who is in love with their housekeeper who also happens to be her best friend

 

Kazuha: that is oddly specific

 

Aether: But she dint even chose truth???

 

Childe: Okay 

 

Childe: @Ayaka u seein this?

 

Lumine: WAIF WHAT AYAKA IS HERW??? WHAT THE FUCJDKSKKS

 

Ayaka: Is there a reason I shouldn't be?

 

Lumine: NO GYXK STHAT NOT WHAT I MEANT I AM GLAD TO HAVE U HERE AND SO GLAD U EXIST OKAT NOW IMMA GO MY OHONE IS DEING BYE

 

Thoma: If u expect Ayaka to understnd what u just sent then tough luck buddy

 

Thoma: One look at it and I nearly had a stroke

 

Ayaka: No I perfectly understand it

 

Yoimiya: Soulmate things methinks

 

Lumine: Yoimiya stfu

 

Ayaka: I also saw ur earlier text abt the type of person u like and it seems very specific indeed

 

Aether: just heard a crash from outside my window do I wanna know

 

Aether: yall my sister just yeeted her phone outta the window in gay panic what the fuck

 

Yoimiya: Mood

 

Ayaka: Sorry was it something I said?

 

Childe: I think it was ur presence as a whole

 

Aether: Childe if u don't SHUT THE FUCK UP 

 

Aether: That was Lumine btw

 

Aether: She has something else to say as well

 

Aether: Ayaka I just want you to know that it was not ur fault at all and my hands just got kinda slippery because I was eating Xiangling's new slime dish and so my phone slipped and fell off the balcony so yeah -Lumine

 

Ayaka: Oh

 

Ayaka: That is sad, Lumine I hope u get it fixed as soon as possible 

 

Aether: i will thanks -Lumine

 

Ayaka: :)

 

Aether: Oh well there goes my sister having another one of her gay panic attacks 

 

Kujo Sara: I am sorry but are we just gonna ignore the fact that there's someone out there cooking food with slime and that Lumine eats that??

 

Ayaka: Ah Lumine told me about her she's a pretty famous chef in Liyue apparently and her slime dishes are not that bad as long as it's desserts

 

Kujo Sara: I think I am traumatized 

 

Itto: I mean I would try a slime dish

 

Itto: Sounds kinda yummy

 

Yoimiya: Me too

 

Aether: Y'all can drop by the cooking club anytime to try Xiangling's dishes

 

Aether: I am sure she would love to have more test subjects

 

Yoimiya: Test subjects?

 

Aether: Taste testers*

 

Kazuha: …….how suspicious 

 

Aether: You just have too many trust issues after your friend died and u got kidnapped by a foreigner so now the only ppl u openly trust are ur moms

 

Kazuha: Hm makes sense ig

 

Kazuha's Friend: I am not dead tho???

 

Kazuha's  Friend: And I do have a name tf

 

Kazuha: You know sometimes I can still hear his voice

 

Kazuha's Friend: KAZU PLEASE

 

Kazuha: Ah I hope he is resting in peace

 

Kazuha's Friend: CAN U AT LEAST CHANGE MY NAME BACK TO ORIGINAL

 

Aether: Y'all hear smth?

 

Ei: What…..is this

 

Paimon: Paimon forgot that Inazuma has its own boomer like how Liyue has Zhongli

 

Yae Miko: Don't go around calling my girlfriend a boomer tf

 

Yae Miko: I mean she definitely is one but still

 

Yae Miko: No one is allowed to tease her except me

 

Paimon: Eh?

 

Paimon: Paimon is confused but okay

 

Aether: Lmao Lumine is so desperate she literally fished out her laptop to text

 

Lumine: One more word out of ur mouth and I won't be the only one with a broken phone

 

Aether: U are so mean to me TT

 

Lumine: The urge to say the word but Paimon will probably hunt me down

 

Yoimiya: OwO

 

Yoimiya: Which word

 

Aether: Do u know Venti from the music club?

 

Yoimiya: The senior who apparently has god tier music skills but always plays off key just to piss the teachers off?

 

Lumine: Yea him

 

Aether: 'The word' in question is his signature line

 

Yoimiya: +O+

 

Yoimiya: And what exactly is it

 

Lumine: Well I just bought Paimon a bunch of food to get her off my back for saying that word so don't expect me to say it again

 

Aether: ^^^^ the very reason I won't say it either

 

Yoimiya: =.=

 

Yoimiya: @Ei do u happen to know a Venti

 

Ei: Oh god him

 

Yoimiya: So u do know him :D

 

Ei: What about him?

 

Yoimiya: So what's his signature line?

 

Aether: Ei don't do it

 

Ei: Ehe?

 

Yoimiya: Ehe? That's his signature line?

 

Ei: I think so

 

Paimon:

 

Lumine: Oh no

 

Paimon: EHE?

 

Paimon: EHE??????????

 

Yoimiya: Wait what what's happening 

 

Paimon: PAIMON IS OUT FOR UR BLOOD

 

Yae Miko: You dare touch my girlfriend, little one?

 

Paimon: N-no

 

Aether: Omg lumine are u seeing this

Ayato: Cool :)

 

Lumine: :)

 

Itto: I may be dumb but i also kinda think I am missing something in this interaction

 

Aether: Don't worry abt it it's just ayato subtly threatening lumine while lumine subtly respons back with 'try me, bitch'

 

Lumine: Hey now Aether it's nothing like that

 

Lumine: Ayato and I are besties, right @Ayato

 

Ayato: Of course I have definitely never thought of poisoning u or keeping u as far away from my sister as possible I swear

 

Lumine: Don't worry Ayato I trust u :)

Lumine: Awww by crying to ur mommies abt how a kid younger than u but also taller than bullied wittle scawamouche?

 

Itto: I just know that I cannot have the type of courage that Lumine has cause I would never dream of riling up someone like Scaramouche 

 

Ei: He's actually a lot nicer once u get to know him

 

Scaramouche: NO I AM NOT FUCK OFF

 

Yae Miko: Kunikuzushi be respectful to ur mother

Lumine: Well in theory at least

 

Scaramouche: NO FUCK U

 

Kazuha: But what exactly is the relationship between Scaramouche and Ei I won't sleep peacefully until I know

 

Yae Miko: Let me give u a hint, Kunikuzushi is a lot older than he looks and not a human

 

Yoimiya: I am sorry NOT a human?

 

Aether: Yoimiya why are u surprised abt that we literally have so many non humans on the campus

 

Aether: Lumi and I are literally from another world

 

Yoimiya: B-but

 

Lumine: You broke her Miko

 

Yae Miko: Oops

Scaramouche: VIXEN I AM COMING FOR U 

 

Scaramouche: KNOW UR FUCKING PLACE

Lumine: LMAO U GO YAE DESTROY HIM

 

Aether: Isn't he ur inazuman bestie aren't u supposed to be on his side

 

Lumine: Aether that's not how besties work

 

Lumine: sometimes it's just fun watching them suffer 

 

Gorou: Lumine genuinely terrifies me sometimes

 

Itto: SOMETIMES? SHE IS LITERALLY ON THE TOP OF MY LIST OF PPL TO NOT PISS OFF

 

Kazuha: For those wondering why Scaramouche hasn't replied yet 

 

Kazuha: [attachment.jpg]

 

Ei: ah that's the fourth phone he has smashed out of  anger this month 

 

Ei: You should really stop riling him up so much Miko we might be rich but it's still a waste of money to buy him a new phone every time

 

Yae Miko: I* am rich 

 

Yae Miko: Don't worry Ei my money won't be getting over anytime soon so I can pay for a new phone without worries

 

Ei: ……

 

Aether: Lmao another broke boomer with a glucose guardian

Childe: @Aether I will pay for your lunch if u confiscate her laptop

 

Aether: On it

 

Ayato: That's a nice offer Childe but my sister is perfectly alright and doesn't prefer taking breaks by going out

 

Childe: Stfu Ayato I wasn't talking to u

 

Ayato: Well since it's MY sister in question I think I get to have a say

 

Childe: @Ayaka what do you say

 

Yoimiya: Lmao not childe just casually ignoring Ayato 

 

Ayaka: I am here did someone ask for me?

Ayaka: My favourite play is on Sunday

 

Ayato: See what I mean, Ayaka? That's why don't go with others

Yoimiya: Why do u have the tickets to Ayaka's favourite play?

 

Childe: Can someone please shut Yoimiya up I am trying to score my Comrade a date here

 

Kujo Sara: Shinobu is on it

 

Ayato: See Ayaka? So suspicious, that's why don't go with them, Your brother can get u whatever u want

 

Ayaka: Um

 

Childe: my God there was a reason why I hated Ayato the moment I saw him

 

Childe: Don't think too much abt it Ayaka, lumine recommended this play to see and i just wanted to check it out with her but then my parents are out this weekend so I gotta babysit my siblings but I don't wanna let the tickets go to waste or make my Comrade go alone so please just accept the offer

Childe:

 

Childe: MY FUCKING GOD 

 

Childe: AYAKA I AM GAY 

 

Ayaka: Oh

Ayaka: You know because you and Lumine seemed like good friends 

 

Ayato: Wow okay even I am speechless at your train of thinking Ayaka

 

Thoma: My lady don't tell me you

 

Thoma: God

 

Childe: PLEASE DONT TELL ME U THOUGHT EITHER OF US WAS STRAIGHT I WILL CRY 

 

Ayaka: Um

 

Ayaka: Wait so Lumine isn't straight 

 

Ayato: I see

 

Ayato: So from the start my interference wasn't needed at all

 

Kokomi: I am literally crying

 

Ei: Is this what is called 'dense af' as Miko says about the past me?

 

Yae Miko: Yes Ei it is

 

Ei: Oh

 

Ei: Poor Lumine

 

Childe: Ayaka did u not

 

Childe: Did u not see the text abt the type of person Lumine likes

 

Ayaka: I did that's why I was a  bit confused since u are neither short not have hair like starlight

 

Childe: Ayaka have u ever seen a mirror 

 

Ayaka: ???

 

Ayaka: I have but why do u ask

 

Itto: Yk ppl call me dumb but even I can see what's up 

 

Ayato: My little sister is dumber than Itto I will never get over this

 

Ayaka: Can someone please tell me what's going on

 

Aether: Yeah ig I gotta keep running from Lumine for another hour now

 

Childe: Ayaka just accept the tickets and go on a date with Lumine that will be a big favor to all of us please just do it

 

Kazuha: Man's literally so desperate and it's not even himself he's trying to score a date for

 

Ayato: On second thoughts

 

Ayato: Maybe u shld just agree Ayaka

 

Ayato: Now even I feel a bit sympathetic for Lumine 

 

Thoma: wow even my lord who was most opposed to this relationship

 

Thoma: Do it my lady

 

Gorou: please just agree 

 

Kokomi: please ayaka

 

Yae Miko: It would save us so much trouble because we all know u want to go on a date with lumine too

 

Ayaka: Wait no I 

 

Ayaka: Um actually I do

 

Ayaka: so I think I will?

 

Kuki Shinobu: Fucking finally

 

Ayaka: Thanks guys I would have never had the courage without all of u encouraging me 

 

Ei: Just don't be dense af again

 

Ayaka: I will try not to be 

 

Yae Miko: Ei please stop texting like a boomer I beg

 

Ayato: It's just one date it's just one date it's just one date and there's still poison

 

Ayato: Oops that was supposed to be a private msg to Thoma

 

Ayato: Please ignore

 

Thoma: My lord what the fuck

 

Kujo Sara: I wish u luck on ur date Ayaka

 

Gorou: We all do

 

Ayaka: thank you guys :)

 

Aether: Ooookay

 

Aether: Now that I an sure that lumine will be catching up to me in exactly five minutes

 

Aether: I will go ahead and do everyone a favor and clear the chat

 

Ayaka: Thanks Aether

 

Aether: It's the least I can do as ur future brother in law

 

Ayaka: HUH???

 

Ayato: I take back my words where did I put my sword

 

Thoma: MY LORD PLEASE

 

[The chat has been cleared]

Notes:

Absolutely obsessed with the idea that Lumine and Childe are those type of besties where on keeps trying to set other up with their crush and the other just wants to murder them

Also yeah I have no idea what timeline this is set in or where the plot is going to so u are free to think of it whatever u will

I will upload more chapters after I gather enough fates to wish again on Venti's banner because I lost my 50/50 to Jean(😃) and I still have my finals going on and very less time so wish me luck I need it for both my exams and my 50/50

As always thanks a lot for reading!

Chapter 4: Team Liyue Or Team Mondstadt?

Summary:

The answer is Team Inazuma

Notes:

HI YES I AM BACK BECAUSE I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET VENTI AT 63 PITY WITH LIKE 3 DAYS LEFT FOR HIS BANNER TO END I AM SO HAPPY

On the other side, I actually used up a lot of his farmed materials for others because I had given up hope so I had to go farm again but at least now he's at 70??? I also hit ar55 and realised that I have no social life whatsoever 💀

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Kaeya: I just felt a chill down my spine

 

Jean:  OH NO

 

Jean: DILUC PLEASE NO I BEG U

 

Aether: You know shits abt to go down when it's Diluc who sends the :)

 

Diluc: so before Jean and Lisa got together

 

Jean: DILUC FOR THE SAKE OF OUR AGE OLD FRIENDSHIP PLEASE SPARE ME

 

Kaeya: Oh this is getting interesting

 

Lumine: We are all waiting Master Diluc

 

Xingqiu: I see potential writing content lemme just get my notepad real quick

 

Barbara: are we finally gonna know the backstory to the JeanLisa story

 

Diluc: Yes Barbara u are

 

Jean: Diluc why

 

Diluc: Because of all the disgusting PDA u two showered on me the other day

 

Jean: the one on the groupchat 

 

Diluc: I tolerated that somehow but did u forget our studying session later that day when Lisa tagged along with u

 

Jean: .....oh

 

Jean: That

 

Jean: Um…..sorry?

 

Barbara: Jean what did u do

 

Jean: Nothing

 

Lisa: Don't lie darling~

 

Diluc: We were in the cafe and there was this one guy hitting on Lisa and aggressively flirting with her

 

Amber: Man's had already chosen death smh

 

Diluc: So the first few seconds pass by without anything happening

 

Diluc: And then when the guy starts approaching Lisa, something in Jean awakened

 

Diluc: She stood up, grabbed Lisa's chin and u can guess how the next whole minute went

 

Beidou: a WHOLE minute?

 

Beidou: Now that deserves respect 

 

Yae Miko: Ei why don't u ever do that to me

 

Ei: Grab ur chin for a whole minute? 

 

Ei: Why?

 

Yae Miko: ….

 

Yae Miko: Why do I even bother with u

 

Jean: I SAID I AM SORRY I DONT KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME IN THAT MINUTE

 

Lisa: Oh don't apologize darling, I quite enjoyed it ;)

 

Diluc: Okay but that did not stop there 

 

Diluc: the guy left like not even a second after Jean made her move 

 

Diluc: But our lovely Jean here was not satisfied and went on to make out with Lisa every chance she got throughout the whole day whenever any stranger looked at Lisa

 

Diluc: We did not get any studying done and I gave up after they started making out in the library too while I was right there

 

Lumine: Oh my God I never thought Jean of all ppl would be the jealous type

 

Kaeya: Ifkr and lmao Diluc just suffering thru all of this

 

Jean: LOOK IT WAS JUST A FEW TIMES OKAY

 

Lisa: Ah what a lovely day that was~

 

Lisa: We had so much fun after reaching home 

 

Jean: LISA PLEASE

 

Diluc: See? This is why I am gonna go ahead and expose how much of a loser u were while crushing on Lisa before I helped out

 

Venti: Master Diluc? Matchmaking JeanLisa? Now this is a story I have got to hear

 

Diluc: So everyone who went to the same highschool as me and Jean and Lisa would know that Jean used to be the president of Student Council and for those who don't, Jean used to be the president of the Student Council 

 

Diluc; So it starts with our lovely president Jean going on her routine after school patrols dragging me along because 'company'

 

Jean: OHMYGOD DILUC I HATE U SO MUCH I CANT BELIEVE U ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MY BEST FRIEND

 

Diluc: And then she sees this new transfer student volunteering at the library 

 

Diluc: And the first thing she does?

 

Lisa: Oooh this is getting interesting 

 

Jean: AHHHHHHHHH I AM GONNA GO JUMP OFF A BUILDING BYE

 

Diluc: She makes a u-turn and when we are finally about 100 meters away from the library I realised something is off and look to Jean worried that she might be sick

 

Diluc: But before I could say anything, she just turns around and runs back to the library without a single word 

 

Barbara: Wait what 😭

 

Jean: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

Kaeya: She just…..ran back to the library?

 

Diluc: No listen

 

Diluc: She runs to the library, approaches Lisa

 

Lisa: Ohhh I remember this one

 

Diluc: And the first thing she says? 

 

Diluc: 'Your dress code goes against the school rules'

 

Barbara: Jean????

 

Lumine: No but that sounds like typical Jean

 

Diluc: Right?? But no u are forgetting the fact that she said that when not even looking at Lisa and while also simultaneously blushing furiously 

 

Diluc: And if u think Lisa was confused think abt me who saw all this shit go down

 

Xingqiu: No go back what even happened why did she run away in the first place 😭

 

Lumine: It's called ✨gay panic✨ xingqiu

 

Barbara: @Jean really??

 

Jean: LOOK IN MY DEFENSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I SAW SUCH A GORGEOUS WOMAN OKAY I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO

 

Lisa: Oh darling u are so sweet

 

Yanfei: I sympathize with u as far as freaking out over gorgeous women is considered but why did u go back to criticise her dress code like what was she wearing

 

Diluc: No everything was more or less right except this huge ass hat Lisa was wearing 

 

Diluc: it was just an excuse to see her again

 

Jean: No I-

 

Jean: ….just wanted to say hi….

 

Lisa: Jean u are such a cutie come over here so I can properly reward u for ur hardwork back then

 

Jean: Lisa!!!

 

Barbara: Wait I dint know hats were against school rules

 

Amber: Tbh no one does I know they are cause I read the whole rulebook on joining the Student Council

 

Barbara: But venti used to wear a hat all the time??

 

Diluc: See? Exactly what I mean

 

Diluc: Hats are against school rules but no one actually knows that or don't care even if they do but Jean somehow remembered that minute detail just for a chance to talk to her crush 

 

Diluc: It was so embarrassing

 

Lumine: We all believe in Jean the one true manifestation of ever lesbian's reaction to a potential girlfriend because I too would be  running 100 meters away 

 

Amber: she is the true face of embarrassing urself In front of ur crush I can relate 

 

Diluc: the story is not over yet

 

Jean: can we please please spare the remaining lore for some other day please diluc I will do anything 

 

Diluc: Okay then stop kaeya from drinking alcohol for 48 hrs if u manage that then I will forget abt the whole story

 

Jean: Kaeya???? 

 

Diluc: Wait u are right it's too easy

 

Diluc: Stop Kaeya and Venti from drinking any alcohol for 48 hours

 

Venti: WHAT 

 

Venti: WHY

 

Venti: WHAT DID I EVER DO TO U MASTER DILUC

 

Diluc: Got my brother into drinking

 

Venti: THAT WAS HIS OWN DECISION I HAD NOTHINH TO DO WITH IT I SWEAR

 

Kaeya: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY JEAN IS THROWING OUT EVERYONE OF MY PRECIOUS WINE BOTTLES OUT THE WINDOW HOW DID SHE EVEN GET INTO MY ROOM HELP

 

Amber: Backread Kaeya

 

Kaeya: Okay

 

Kaeya: DILUC WHY

 

Kaeya: WHAT HAS URS AND JEAN'S ARGUMENT GOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME

 

Diluc: Die

 

Kaeya: JUST U WAIT I WILL GET U BACK FOR THIS

 

Kaeya: or to quote Eula, "VENGENCE SHALL BE MINE"

 

Eula: You dare plagiarise my lines? Mark my words, vengeance shall be mine

 

Kaeya: @Diluc what she said ^

 

Venti: Okay since Kaeya is getting raided first it means Jean's gonna come for me next excuse me while I go disappear off the face of the earth for another century

 

Gorou: I used to think that Liyuens are wild but the Mondstadters sound even wilder

 

Keqing: Don't compare us with those alcoholics we have class

 

Amber: Um excuse me?

 

Amber: At least we are not obsessed with money for no reason

 

Keqing: Obsessed??? Excuse you we just know how to handle our budget

 

Amber: OH? AT LEAST WE ALCOHOLICS KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN 

 

Amber: NOT LIKE U LIYUENS ALWAYS SO WRAPPED UP IN WORK AND SO FULL OF URSELVES

 

Keqing: HOW DARE YOU

 

Keqing: DONT FORGET THAT IT IS OUR CITY WHERE U GET ALL THE MORA FROM 

 

Amber: OH YEAH? WELL WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? STOP MINTING MONEY TO GET BACK AT US?

 

Yoimiya: Ladies please

 

Venti: Wait I got a good one

 

Jean: Venti don't

 

Venti: ehe

 

Venti: AT LEAST OUR DRAGONS LOOK LIKE ACTUAL DRAGONS AND NOT LIKE A LIZARD ZOOMING THRU THE SKY

 

Zhongli: Excuse me? The only difference is that the lizards on your land have wings and the dragons on our land don't need wings.

 

Venti: You really wanna do this, old man?

 

Zhongli: Bring it on bard.

 

Aether: Never thought I'd see the day when Zhongli of all ppl would be participating in an online discourse

 

Lumine: See? This is why Anemo and Geo have no reactions

 

Lumine: They just can't stand each other

 

Lumine: Why don't we just ask an outsider on which is the better nation?

 

Zhongli: That sounds like a reliable option, I trust your judgement, Lumine and Aether.

 

Venti: Yea ig me too

 

Aether: U are wrong she isn't talking abt us

 

Lumine: @Kujo Sara what do u think?

 

Aether: My sister isn't one for solving disputes she just likes to watch the world burn

 

Kujo Sara: What a ridiculous question, of course Inazuma is better than both

 

Kokomi: Babe no-

 

Aether: see what I mean

 

Keqing: Hey @Kujo Sara square up bitch I am coming to ur location rn

 

Amber: Wait for me I just gotta charge my pyro arrows 

 

Keqing: Make sure you bring that explosive toy of urs too

 

Amber: Of course baron bunny is always with me

 

Kujo Sara: I stick to my words and I am not one to run away from battles

 

Kujo Sara: In other words, come at me, bitch

 

Barbara: Did I see someone bad mouthing Mondstadt?

 

Barbara: :)

 

Barbara: Let me just swap out my current catalyst for the one that hurts the most

 

Beidou: This seems fun! I am joining too

 

Lumine: @Kujo Sara it's four against one u still not gonna back down?

 

Kujo Sara: I am ready to defend the honor of Inazuma at any time for any price 

 

Kokomi: My God how can u be so smart and so fucking dumb at the same time

 

Kokomi: Excuse my language, anyways I have to go kidnap my girlfriend to hide her in a safe place before the foreign lesbians hunt her down so bye

 

Kujo Sara: Kokomi there's no need for that I can tx77d7euu3uruuyysygzdkdjdiifidkk

 

Itto: oof fish got ur tongue?

 

Itto: haha get it cause kokomi is related to fishes 

 

Kuki Shinobu: That was the lamest joke I have ever come across in my life

 

Amber: @Kokomi u can't hide her from us forever

 

Kokomi: We will see about that 

 

Keqing: Oh its on then

 

Keqing: The Kujo Sara hunt is on

 

Aether: Smh Lumine look at what u did

 

Lumine: It's beautiful I have looked it for 5 hrs now

 

Ei: But the whole discourse only took place moments ago? How can you look at it for 5 hours?

 

Yae Miko: it's a meme Ei

 

Ei: What's a meme?

 

Yae Miko: My God

 

Ei: ???

 

Lumine: Isn't Ei younger than Zhongli and Venti how is it that they know what a meme is but she doesnt

 

Childe: Zhongli knows what a meme is???

 

Zhongli: I am not that uninformed on youthful trends, Childe.

 

Lumine: And yet u still dont know what a simp is

 

Zhongli: Everyone refuses to explain it to me for some reason

Chapter Text

[Teyvat Gays]

 

Lumine: Is Childe dead yet?

 

Aether: hoping he is

 

Hu Tao: I saw a business opportunity and manifested

 

Xiao: Unfortunately

Childe: Hey Xiao truth or dare?

 

Xiao: Fuck.Off.

 

Childe: …

 

Childe: well that was uncalled for

 

Lumine: No u deserved it

 

Aether: ^^

 

Childe: Smh being backstabbed by my own Comrades no one can be trusted here

 

Zhongli: You can trust me, Childe.

 

Childe: Of course Zhongli, you are an exception <3

 

Zhongli: I am glad to know that.

 

Yae Miko: this is a public chat can u gays like go flirt somewhere else

 

Lumine: Miko is just jealous don't mind her

 

Yae Miko: I am not???

 

Ei: Why is she jealous? I am right here

 

Lumine: Exactly Ei u don't flirt with her like they do that's why she's jealous

 

Ei: Oh

 

Ei: But I don't know how to flirt

 

Yae Miko: 

 

Yae Miko: Good night

 

Ei: 

 

Ei: It's still afternoon?

 

Childe: lol u might wanna go after her I think she's mad at u

 

Ei: But why?

 

Childe: Maybe ask her instead of me??

 

Ei: …..okay

 

Childe: Aight now I am bored again so @Jean Truth or Dare

 

Kaeya: Why jean specifically 

 

Childe: Idk it was a random name

 

Jean: Truth

 

Childe: …..wow I dint actually expect u to respond

 

Childe: But now that u did

 

Childe: Talk about someone u look upto

 

Lumine: That is such a boring question Boo

 

Childe: look this is Jean we are talking abt the last thing I want is accidentally pissing her off and getting yeeted off a cliff or smth

 

Kaeya: I thought u liked riling ppl up and then fighting them 

 

Childe: If it is fight then yea

 

Childe: But I've seen what Jean does to ppl who piss her off

 

Childe: She *whispers* doesn't fight them but assigns them club room paperwork

 

Lumine: yikes no wonder u never challenged her

 

Jean: You are a wise man Childe

 

Jean: Someone I look upto huh

 

Barbara: You are gonna say Vanessa aren't u

 

Jean: I do look upto Lady Vanessa a lot but

 

Jean: This time my answer would be Venti

 

Childe: WHAT

 

Amber: WHAT

 

Barbara: WHAT

 

Lumine: WHAT

 

Aether: WHAT

 

Xiao: WHAT

 

Kaeya: WHAT

 

Venti: WHAT

 

Venti: Jean???? 

 

Jean: Yes?

 

Kaeya: DONT JUST SAY YES DID U EVEN READ THE QUESTION???

 

Jean: I did

 

Venti: maybe I am just too drunk and seeing things gonna go lie down for a while

 

Kaeya: I wish I could say the same but Jean already threw out all my alcohol stash so wtf is making me see this

 

Amber: Jean??? Are u sure u are not sick?? Did u overwork urself again?

 

Amber: @Barbara u shld check on her

 

Barbara: I am already on my way

 

Jean: 

 

Jean: Will u guys give me a moment to explain

 

Jean: I know Venti doesn't exactly have the best reputation out there

 

Venti: I can vouch for that

 

Kaeya: I thought u said u were gonna lie down

 

Venti: I am 

 

Kaeya: ..  

 

Jean: ANYWAY

 

Jean: I know everyone doesn't exactly see him in the best light 

 

Jean: But he's actually a very caring and responsible person once u get to know him

 

Venti: NO I AM NOT JEAN STOP SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT ME

 

Jean: can someone shut venti up until I finish

 

Venti: WHAT

 

Venti: I AN JUST TELLING THE TRUTH U CANT JUSUETSY7D7URNTJDID

 

Jean: Thank you Diluc

 

Diluc: It wasn't me

 

Jean: Mhm sure

 

Jean: What I am trying to say is that back in our high-school I knew how venti was viewed by everyone as the carefree and lazy student without any responsibilities

 

Jean: But that's because that's just what he wants you to believe

 

Amber: did I stumble upon a conspiracy thread

 

Childe: Hush Amber I am now invested I this

 

Jean: Venti can actually become serious and work properly when necessary, but he just does it so discreetly that no one realizes it (yes that is his intention)

 

Kaeya: Jean u know I respect u but I absolutely refuse to believe that Venti of all people can get serious

 

Amber: ……..Same

 

Lisa: Are u sure we are talking abt the same venti Jean dear

 

Jean: How many guys named Venti do u think can exist Lisa

 

Jean: I say that because I have seen Venti in action

 

Jean: He often sought out troubled juniors and helped them. He helped bullied and abused kids and sheltered them. He also took care of students who were poor in studies and encouraged them to not give up. He taught songs to the younger students and also played with younger kids. He's allergic to cats but dealt with it while helping Diona. I am sure you remember our former Student Council Vanessa? You all probably know that she was Venti's best friend. What you don't know is it was Venti who helped her the most in school and helped her get the position of the President in the first place. Oh and that position was actually offered to Venti at first but he refused and convinced Vanessa to fill it because he reasoned that she was the better leader between the two of them

 

Amber: When exactly……did all this happen

 

Kaeya: My eyes have been opened to a new world 

 

Jean: Some of these incidents occurred before any of us started high-school there so I am not surprised all of you wouldn't know of it

 

Barbara: I….actually feel bad for calling him lazy in the past now

 

Lisa: How did you find out about all this Jean?

 

Jean: Oh Venti approached me to tutor a younger student and I found out some from the student and more from Vanessa

 

Kaeya: YOU MET THE LEGENDARY VANESSA?????

 

Amber: WHEN WHERE AND HOW

 

Jean: Courtesy of Venti of course

 

Sucrose: This…..is quite a lot to take in

 

Albedo: I always had my suspicions about venti but this was by no means within my expectations

 

Rosaria: …….same

 

Childe: Having a existential crisis rn brb

 

Lumine: I mean

 

Lumine: I am not exactly surprised

 

Aether: Me neither

 

Amber: Where is Venti now anyways 

 

Diluc: Asleep

 

Jean: Oh right, also Diluc can vouch for me

 

Jean: He knew all about it too

 

Diluc: Jean.

 

Jean: ?

 

Kaeya: You are telling me my brother knew all the secrets about my drinking buddy that I did not

 

Kaeya: Wait a minute how do u know venti is asleep 

 

Kaeya: Is he with u

 

Diluc: no

 

Kaeya: Okay then where are u rn

 

Diluc: I don't need to tell u that

 

Kaeya: Seee

 

Kaeya: U are with Venti aren't u

 

Diluc: I don't need to tell u anything

 

Jean: I don't understand why u try so hard to hide it Diluc it's so obvious with the way u look at him

 

Kaeya: I am sorry but  WHAT

 

Diluc: Jean.

 

Diluc: Stop.

 

Jean: But why can't you just admit it

 

Diluc: I think there's been a misunderstanding 

 

Kaeya: HEY HEY HEY NOW

 

Kaeya: DILUC IS THERE SOMETHING U ARE HIDING FROM UR DEAR BROTHER HOW COULD U DO THIS TO ME

 

Diluc: Stop overreacting Kaeya its literally nothing

 

Lisa: Jean darling? You can't just say something like that and go offline

 

Amber: Look I am not one for drama but this sounds interesting

 

Sucrose: So we all just accepted the facts about Venti that easily huh? Cool 

 

Ei: In all honesty

 

Zhongli: I am surprised none of you ever knew

 

Ei: I was about to say that

 

Zhongli: I apologize for how slow you type then

 

Ei: Are you mocking me?

 

Zhongli: I am simply stating a fact

 

Ei:

 

Aether: Holy shit I actually forgot we were on the general chat and not the Mondstadt one

 

Lumine: ikr?? Like everyone else has been so quite that it was a shock to see Ei and Zhongli's name pop up

 

Gorou: We are just collectively processing the fact that Mondstadt and Liyue are both so much wilder than we imagined

 

Xingqiu: That's what u are doing. I, on the other hand, an intellect, am just taking down notes for my upcoming novel

 

Kaeya: Okay bit is no one gonna question how those two foreigners know Venti?

 

Kujo Sara: Did you forget that u are a foreigner too here

 

Kaeya: Ahahahahhahhah Whaaaaaaaat nooooo I am not whatever gave u that idea ahahahhahaha

 

Kujo Sara: ???

 

Kujo Sara: Aren't u from Mondstadt?

 

Kaeya: Oh

 

Kaeya: In that sense then yeah I am a foreigner too here

 

Amber: What sense exactly did u take it in Kaeya?

 

Kaeya: WILL U LOOK AT THE TIME ITS ALREADY TIME FOR ME TO GO TO BED GOOD NIGHT YALL SEE U TMRW

 

Aether: It's 4 pm

 

Lumine: It's too late he's gone

 

Jean: I apologize for the abrupt absence, a teacher had asked for my help with something regarding handing out forms

 

Diluc: Go back we don't want u here

 

Lisa: ah yes Jean dear u were talking abt how diluc looks at venti in a certain way

 

Jean: Oh right

 

Lisa: Could you elaborate

 

Jean: Huh?

 

Jean: I mean there's nothing elaborate. He just looks at Venti in so much admiration that I am surprised no one noticed

 

Amber: I am sorry, did u say admiration?

 

Lisa: Okay not what I expected but definitely not something I could have predicted

 

Diluc: I do not.

 

Jean: I don't understand why are u so adamant on hiding it 

 

Jean: He really does deserve the admiration u know

 

Diluc: I know

 

Diluc: I MEAN I DONT ADMIRE HIM

 

Lisa: That's the first time I have seen him lose cool gotta screenshot this to send it to Kaeya 

 

Diluc: ….

 

Diluc: I hate this group chat

 

[Action denied]

 

Diluc: AND I hate the fact that I can't leave it

 

Aether: What's Venti doing

 

Diluc: I don't know

 

Lumine: No need to get aggressive Master Diluc it was just a simple question

 

Diluc: You have been hanging out too much with Kaeya

 

Venti: Hi I am awake what did I miss

 

Venti: WAIT WTF WHERE AM I WHY ARE ALL THE WALLS BLACK AND IS THAT A LITERAL CLAYMORE IN THE CORNER Oh wait there's also grape juice 

 

Aether: @Kaeya

 

Diluc: Aether you fucking snitch

 

Kaeya: I was summoned

 

Aether: Three texts prior

 

Kaeya: HOLY FUCKING SHIT 

 

Diluc: HE JUST PASSED OUT FROM ALCOHOL AND I BROUGHT HIM HERE THERES NOTHING ELSE 

 

Kaeya: AHHAHAHAHHA THIS IS SO FUNNY 

 

Venti: Hey there's also picture of Kaeya and Diluc

Venti: Haha I am in trouble aren't I

 

Aether: Better start running bard boi

 

Childe: Wonderful 

 

Childe: This is exactly the chaos I hoped for when I started the game

 

Aether: Smh u learnt too much from my sister

 

Lumine: Y'all watch

 

Lumine: Yo Childe Truth or Dare

 

Childe: DARE

 

Lumine: Go call Tsaritsa a bitch to her face

Childe: Comrade why 

 

Lumine: You know how much I like to watch the world burn

 

Childe: Tsaritsa will maul me and ship my pieces back to my family in Snezhnaya in wooden crates

 

Lumine: Nah she will at most break every bone in ur body and have u confined to bed for a week

 

Childe: And u want ur Comrade to go thru that??

 

Zhongli: I won't let that happen Childe don't worry.

 

Childe: Zhongli…..you are the only person in this world who I would give up my life for

 

Zhongli: Thank you Childe but please don't ever do that because losing you would upset me very much.

 

Childe: Zhongli….

Hu Tao: how tf-

 

Zhongli: Since you declared me your parent, it's only fair that I do my part and ensure your safety and wish you success on your courtship with Yanfei.

 

Hu Tao: Geez old man you really know how to make me emotional don't u

 

Hu Tao: Also no one uses courtship anymore just use dating or smth gosh

 

Zhongli: Oh I see. Thank you for the suggestion Hu Tao.

 

Hu Tao: ye ye and good luck on ur date with childe too

 

Zhongli: Thank you Hu Tao.

Ei: I know that was a very hurtful time for you but I swear it was an emergency and I really wanted to talk to you and explain my feelings but I was such a coward back then I had no idea how to face the two most intimidating situations in my whole at the same time

 

Yae Miko: Intimidating? Well I am so sorry that me finally getting my shit together and managing to confess my years long feelings for u was such a scary situation for u that u had to literally disappear to not see my face again

 

Ei: No Miko it’s not like that I swear 

 

Ei: Miko please listen to me

Kazuha: There's no way Scaramouche is Ei's biological son they are too close in age

 

Thoma: Exactly!

 

Ayaka: I never said that he is her biological son!

 

Ayaka: I just said that they must have some sort of biological relation because they look so similar

 

Kokomi: Actually Ayaka does have a point

 

Kokomi: If I didn't know any better I'd say he looks like her little brother

 

Kazuha: You are lucky that Scaramouche still didn't get his phone repaired or he would kill u for saying that

 

Kujo Sara: He can try

 

Kokomi: Aw babe ❤ 

 

Kujo Sara: ❤ 

 

Thoma: Okay their romance aside why hasn't Scaramouche gotten his phone yet 

 

Thoma: I thought Yae Miko said she dint mind getting him another one

 

Yae Miko: And I did

 

Yae Miko: But that little shit threw it across the hall and broke it again

 

Aether: Smh imagine having rich parents u can just throw expensive shit like it means nothing

 

Lumine: Can't relate </3

Ei: Sorry but it's urgent.

 

Ei: It's about Makoto.

 

Yae Miko: Ur sister? What about her?

Yae Miko: What was it?

 

Ei: She's seeing someone.

 

Ei: Miko? Why aren't you replying anything?

 

Yae Miko: Sorry just looking at that sentence was such a shock that I dropped my phone

Yae Miko: Okay but did u ask who it is??

Ei: But I have a plan to find out.

 

Yae Miko: Listening

 

Ei: She told me that she is going to the mall tomorrow for something ‘important’ and I am nearly hundred percent sure its a date with her partner

 

Yae Miko: That doesnt sound very reliable babe

Yoimiya: Oh man I feel so bad I will drag Itto along to apologise dw

 

Ayaka: Consider apologising to the shrine maidens too while u are at it

 

Kuki Shinobu: No I think we can let that pass that was actually very funny

 

Itto: Shinobu?? Are u really the Shinobu we know?

 

Kuki Shinobu: I will take back my words if u dont stop

 

Itto: Yikes okay i will shut up now

Itto: wtf thats Raiden in the photo if I am not wrong

 

Yae Miko: It is Raiden but not Ei 

 

Yae Miko: Its her twin sister Raiden Makoto

 

Yae Miko: We had originally come to the mall because we suspected that Makoto was supposed to have a date here

 

Yae Miko: I cant believe it turned out to be Zhongli

 

Childe: I think u are all assuming stuff unnecessarily Zhongli would never

 

Lumine: Childe where are u rn

 

Childe: at home?

 

Lumine: Good I dont want u to see me kick ur boyfriend’s ass 

 

Childe: WAIT COMRADE WE SHLD DISCUSS IT FIRST I AM SURE ZHONGLI IS INNOCENT

Xiao: I may not approve of Childe but even I think that what u did to him is too cruel Zhongli

 

Childe: WHAT XIAO NO

 

Ganyu: I dont believe this! Zhongli would never!

 

Ganyu: We need a thorough investigation

 

Albedo: Why dint any of u consider asking the man himself?

 

Venti: He’s not replying 

 

Albedo: I meant in person

 

Lumine: I would but my bitchass brother is holding me back

 

Ei: Let me go Miko even the weird non human guy thinks we shld beat him up

 

Albedo: Oh no, I meant literally asking him, if it is indeed what all of u assume, then u shld beat him up

 

Childe: Albedo can I call u comrade from now on

 

Kaeya: Back off bitch he already has a boyfriend

 

Albedo: I wouldnt mind that

 

Kaeya: Nooo Bedo am I not enough for u???

 

Albedo: Stop being dramatic u are still my only boyfriend

 

Kaeya: I just love u so much I cant help it heh

 

Diluc: Gross

 

Childe: I am on my way to the mall I am still convinced this is all a misunderstanding

 

Zhongli: My name seems to have been mentioned several times, did I perhaps miss something?

 

Ei: OH THERE U ARE U BITCH

 

Yae MIko: Zhongli how could u

 

Lumine: I KNEW I SHLD HAVE GIVEN U A PROPER SHOVEL TALK BEFORE LETTING U DATE CHILDE

 

Aether: Zhongli care to explain urself?

 

Childe: XIANSHENG PLEASE TELL THEM ALL ITS NOT TRUE

 

Zhongli: I am afraid I don’t understand what’s going on.

 

Lumine: [attachment.jpg]

 

Zhongli: Oh

 

Lumine: OH??? OH????? U CHEAT ON MY BESTIE AND ALL U HAVE TO SAY IS OH????

 

Ei: AND MY SISTER OF ALL PPL YOU IMBECILE I TRUSTED YOU

 

Hu Tao: DAD PLS TELL ME ITS NOT TRUE

 

Hu Tao: I will personally send u over to the other side if it is

 

Xiao: Zhongli, I trusted u

 

Zhongli: Don’t worry children, I haven’t done anything wrong.

 

Yae Miko: HOW MUCH OF A SCUM CAN U BE TEACHING UR KIDS THAT TWO TIMING SOMEONE IS NOT WRONG

 

Zhongli: I am indeed on a shopping trip for Makoto but we are not on a date

 

Ei: How do I believe you

 

Zhongli: Ei. Your sister is attracted to women.

 

Ei: That doesn’t change WHAT

 

Zhongli: Besides, in my whole life I have only ever been attracted To Childe. I would never even think about looking at another person when I am in love with the most interesting and beautiful man I have ever encountered. Forgive me for being so blunt, but I am truly too much in love with Childe, and always will be.

 

Hu Tao: I FUCKING KNEW IT

 

Childe: Zhongli….I just….I am so lucky to have fallen for u….I cant imagine a life without u

 

Zhongli: No Childe it is I who is lucky to have you.

 

Ganyu: Oh thank god so Zhongli is not a cheater after all

 

Lumine: But what were u doing with Ei’s sister anyways

 

Ei: My sister……likes women…..but she never told me….

 

Zhongli: Oh apologies I assumed that she did, and that she had even told you the purpose of her today’s shopping trip.

 

Zhongli: My apologies, Ei, truly. It was out of line for me to mention your sister’s private preferences publicly. I must apologise to her as well.

 

Zhongli: Ah it seems that Makoto has something to say, she is requesting my phone.

 

Zhongli: Hey everyone its me, Ei’s big sis, Makoto.

 

Ei: Why dint u ever tell me

 

Zhongli: Are u crying Ei?

 

Ei: I am not crying!

 

Zhongli: Is she crying MIko

 

Yae Miko: She is….

 

Zhongli: Aw Ei, I swear its not because I dont trust u or anything, its just because even I only found out abt it recently. To be honest, I wanted to announce it to the whole family at once when i brought my girlfriend along but now that i think abt it maybe I shld have at least mentioned it beforehand I am so sorry.

 

Ei: No it should be me apologising. I think it's pretty selfish of me to assume that you would let me know about everything going on in your life. You are your own person and can take care of yourself, but I continue to remain childish and insist on forcing myself into your life. I am so sorry.

 

Zhongli: Ei no….

 

Zhongli: Don’t say that, in fact it makes me so happy when you inquire about my life and it makes me even more happy when u tell me abt urs, I think its just that I wanted to surprise u this time.

 

Ei: Sorry for spoiling ur surprise.

 

Zhongli: Stop apologising, u did nothing wrong. My surprise just came a bit earlier than expected and thats okay too.

Zhongli: Actually, do u want to go visit my girlfriend later?

 

Lumine: Lord that looks so weird when sent by Zhongli’s username

 

Aether: Its giving me chills

 

Xiao: Same

 

Ei: I would really like that Makoto, but are u sure ur girlfriend wouldn’t mind?

 

Zhongli: I am sure she wouldnt!

 

Zhongli: Stop hiding behind Miko and come over here already poor Zhongli needs his phone back too

 

Ei: Alright.

 

Zhongli: So I suppose Ei’s sister cleared the matter?

 

Lumine: Still dont understand why the two of u were shopping together

 

Zhongli: Oh let me ask Makoto if I can tell you why.

 

Zhongli: She says yes, you see it was because Makoto was supposed to go on a date today but her girlfriend fell ill so she instead decided to visit her home. Not wanting to go empty handed, she enlisted my help to pick out a suitable present for her.

 

Venti: Oof that wild but why u tho

 

Zhongli: Her girlfriend is Guizhong.

 

Xiao: GUIZHONG IS DATING???

 

Ganyu: SHE DINT TELL US

 

Hu Tao: HOW COULD SHE

 

Hu Tao: Wait who

 

Xiao: Guizhong is Zhongli’s close friend and our senior

 

Ganyu: She is a very nice lady u guys shld meet her

 

Hu Tao: Oh so shes basically aunt

 

Ganyu: Yeah

 

Venti: But holy shit Guizhong is finally getting some

 

Venti: I legit thought she was gonna remain a celibate for life

 

Zhongli: I thought the very same too.

 

Lumine: So uh Zhongli

 

Lumine: Sorry for all that stuff earlier hehe

 

Lumine: No hard feelings?

 

Zhongli: None, Lumine. I am aware that you were only looking out for Childe, and I am glad to know that Childe has such a reliable friend as you.

 

Lumine: Damn. You are too good.

 

Lumine: Still gotta ask for my permission before marrying Childe.

 

Zhongli: Of course.

 

Childe: AJHHJESGH WHY ARE YALL ALREADY PLANNING THAT FAR AHEAD

 

Xiao: I am sorry as well, Zhongli, I should have never doubted you. I have failed you.

 

Zhongli: Not at all, Xiao. In fact, I am glad to know that you can look past your personal feelings to point out someone’s wrongs regardless. I know that I have taught you well enough from that alone. 

 

Zhongli: I am also glad that you were willing to defend Childe’s honour even if it was going against me, that shows that you approve of our relationship and that makes me happy.

 

Xiao: NO I DONT 

 

Xiao: GOOD NIGHT

 

Aether: Its morning-

 

Lumine: Shhh let him wallow in his embarrassment

 

Yae MIko: Yea am sorry too…shldnt have jumped to conclusions like that

Venti: Same

 

Jean: Venti I think Zhongli deserves a proper apology

 

Venti: ….

 

Venti: No cause I actually feel very guilty for baselessly accusing u like that so i dont know how to make it up to u

 

Zhongli: Stop drunk crashing at my place

 

Venti: HEY

 

Zhongli: For at least a week

 

Venti: Damn but I think I can manage that

 

Venti: Sorry again

 

Zhongli: It's okay.

 

Aether: Me too, Zhongli, I am so sorry.

 

Zhongli: It's alright, Aether. It was just a misunderstanding.

 

Ei: Morax, I am deeply apologetic for my earlier words and all that,,,,swearing. As your friend of many years, I should have had more trust in you but forgive me, I am just too protective of my sister. I couldn’t bear the thought of her being hurt. I am so sorry I did not consider how much of a loyal and dedicated partner you are to never ever do such a thing to your partner. Childe is very lucky to have you. And thank you so much for not having any hard feelings despite my harsh words, as well as for accompanying my sister to help her out.

 

Zhongli: It’s all alright, Ei. I understand how much your sister means to you and don’t worry about your words, I did not take them to hurt. I know you were only protecting your sister. Don’t worry about anything else and just enjoy your trip with Makoto. Also, please do give my well wishes to Guizhong.

 

Ei: I will.

 

Venti: Damn that was one hell of a ride

 

Lumine: Fr the whole situation was wild from start to finish

 

Aether: @Lumine I am at the the ice cream parlour hurry up if u dont wanna miss out

 

Lumine: ajshjs wait am coming

 

Aether: Childe’s paying

 

Childe: I literally just arrived

 

Lumine: Bringing Zhongli along

 

Childe: Which flavour do yall want

Chapter Text

[Teyvat Gays]

 

Childe: Say, why don't we see Raiden Ei's sister around here anyways?

 

Lumine: That's cause she doesnt go to our academy

 

Aether: Ye she goes to Celestia academy

 

Ganyu: Guizhong goes there too

 

Venti: Ayyyy Vanessa too

 

Ei: I don't like that place 

 

Ei: Makoto doesn't like it either but it is the top learning center and the academics are good

 

Venti: Yea but the students are treated like shit

 

Aether: Smh I heard the staff there act all high and entitled

 

Zhongli: They do, that why I opted out of there and joined here instead. 

 

Zhongli: Unfortunately Guizhong wanted to stay there due to her academic commitments. 

 

Lumine: Praying for her and Makoto and Vanessa and everyone else who goes there to come out safe and sound 

 

Venti: As u shld

 

Venti: Anyway @Zhongli 

 

Zhongli: What.

 

Lumine: lmao Zhongli using . instead of ? while saying what 

 

Aether: Just speaks abt the levels of done he is with Venti

 

Venti: HEY

 

Venti: I was about to ask a very serious question okay

 

Zhongli: I highly doubt that but do go on.

 

Aether: Wait I have a question for u two too

 

Venti: ye?

 

Zhongli: What is it, Aether?

 

Aether: In a fight between Dvalin and Azdaha, who would win?

 

Lumine: And ppl call me the problematic twin

 

Venti: Dvalin!

 

Zhongli: Azdaha, quite obviously.

 

Zhongli: What are you talking about, bard?

 

Venti: No no what are u talking abt, old man??

 

Zhongli: I am stating a fact.

 

Venti: Your fact is bullshit Dvalin obviously would win against Azdaha

 

Zhongli: Dvalin is much smaller in size compared to Azdaha and might I remind you that Azdaha has the tenacity of the hardest rocks of the earth's surface.

 

Venti: And???? Size does not equal strength what type of stupid ass theory is that and Dvalin can actually fly okay meanwhile Azdaha only knows to hide in the ground 

 

Zhongli: Excuse you if you think Azdaha is hiding he is simply absorbing the power of the elements underground meanwhile Dvalin has only the power of anemo on his side, so the conclusion is quite obvious.

 

Zhongli: Azdaha would win.

 

Venti: BUT CAN AZADAHA FLY???? NO! AND DVALIN CAN SO BASICALLY HE CAN DODGE ALL OF AZDAHA'S ATTACKS AND HAVE AN AIRBORNE ATTACK ADVANTAGE 

 

Zhongli: MIGHT I REMIND YOU THAT AZDAHA HAS QUITE A HIGH RESISTANCE TO SEVERAL ELEMENTS INCLUDING ANEMO, THEREFORE CONTRARY TO YOUR BELIEFS, DVALIN'S ATTACKS WON'T SO MUCH AS LEAVE A SCRATCH ON AZDAHA'S STURDY EXTERIOR.

 

Venti: YOU KNOW WHAT LETS SOLVE THIS RIGHT NOW RIGHT HERE

 

Zhongli: ABSOLUTELY, MAYBE SEEING AZDAHA'S FULL POWER WILL PERHAPS CONVINCE YOU ABOUT THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF YOUR IDEAS.

 

Venti: Oh its on don't underestimate Dvalin old man

 

Zhongli: You will see Azdaha's true power soon bard, so be prepared.

 

Lumine: Look what u did Aether

 

Aether: I learnt it from u Lumi

 

Lumine: *proud* I taught u well

 

Diluc: What the fuck is wrong with u guys

 

Jean: Two huge dragons going against each other will result in a lot of destruction we shld stop them

 

Lumine: Nah dw they won't fight anywhere around here

 

Aether: Ye there's plenty of domains out there they'll be fine

 

Keqing: I am sorry but why are Zhongli and Venti talking about two legendary dragons like they are old friends or something?

 

Lumine: Ahaha cause u know

 

Aether: Sometimes u gotta have dragon friends for the sake of it

 

Albedo: Or a dragon brother

 

Childe: What the fuck is that supposed to mean

 

Aether: He is talking abt his dragon brother what is there to not understand 

 

Childe: A dragon???? Brother????

 

Albedo: Are u judging me for not having normal human siblings like u do?

 

Lumine: Shame on u Childe this is not how I raised u

 

Childe: Wait that's not what I meant 

 

Kaeya: My boyfriend is perfectly valid for having a dragon brother how dare u

 

Childe: NO WAIT I SWEAR I RESPECT ALL SORTS OF SIBLINGS DRAGON OR NOT

 

Childe: I just wanted to ask how does that work 

 

Childe: Like are u a dragon too or smth?

 

Albedo: Oh no I am just a regular synthetic human being

 

Childe: Ahahaha I see



[Private message]

 

Childe: What does synthetic mean?

 

Lumine: Go ask Google u dumbass

 

Childe: No patience

 

Lumine: Tough luck idk either

 

Lumine: Go ask ur boyfriend or smth

 

Childe: Wait nvm someone asked in the gc



[Teyvat gays]



Amber: What's the meaning of synthetic? (Curious)

 

Albedo: Something made by chemical synthesis, especially to imitate a natural product.

 

Amber: I dont understand but thanks!

 

Zhongli: Albedo means to say that he resembles a human but his composition is in fact, different from other humans as he, correct me if I am wrong, was created artificially unlike the natural process of birthing humans.

 

Zhongli: By the power of alchemy I presume.

 

Albedo: That was a very correct observation Mr. Zhongli

 

Albedo: Me and all my siblings were created artificially in a lab by the power of alchemy 

 

Childe: Huh



[Private message]

 

Childe: ?????????

 

Lumine: Why are u asking me




[Teyvat gays]

 

Kaeya: What? Y'all got a problem with with boyfriend being an amazing synthetic human being? 

 

Childe: No but holy shit that's cool af

 

Childe: Does that mean ur dragon sibling was created in lab too???

 

Albedo: Yes

 

Venti: Ayyyy u shld bring along Durin to our dragon showoff I am sure he will have fun meeting other dragons

 

Albedo: Durin doesn't like fighting but I am sure he wouldn't mind refereeing for Dvalin and Azdaha

 

Venti: Noice that works too

 

Albedo: Besides he has actually been very eager to meet and befriend Dvalin but is a bit shy 

 

Albedo: I think he has a crush on Dvalin

 

Venti: Ajsjjdjdjd WHAT

 

Childe: Huh

 

Lumine: what? Are you judging a dragon for having a crush on another dragon? 

 

Childe: NO NO 

 

Childe: I was just a bit surprised that is all

 

Venti: It is now my life goal to now get Dvalin and Durin together

 

Aether: Maybe u shld fix ur singleness first

 

Venti: U are just as single as I am bestie

 

Aether: Fuck you ❤

 

Venti: No thank you ❤

 

Childe: Where is Raiden Ei's dragon friend 

 

Childe: aren't u three like a set 

 

Venti: She doesn't have one LOL

 

Ei: At least I have a fox girlfriend who is soon going to be my wife so who's the real winner here, drunkard?

 

Venti: STOP ATTACKING MY SINGLENESS LIKE THAT

 

Ei: No <3

 

Aether: Smh imagine being friends with an actual dragon

 

Lumine: Why are u talking like we aren't friends with an actual dragon too

 

Aether: Idk man we don't know Azdaha and Dvalin on a personal enough level to call them friends

 

Aether: Ig we can call them acquaintances

 

Lumine: I am talking abt Zhongli u dumb brother

 

Aether: Oh right 

 

Aether: I forgor

 

Hu Tao: Wtf Zhongli's a dragon???

 

Hu Tao: AN actual dragon has been working for me all this time and none of yall told me??

 

Lumine: To be fair u never asked

 

Xingqiu: Zhongli??? Our senior Zhongli?? Is a dragon???

 

Keqing: wtf I never knew

 

Childe: lmao

 

Keqing: U knew???

 

Childe: Boyfriend privileges

 

Childe: actually i knew even before that

 

Ganyu: Well I am surprised no one figured it out 

 

Ganyu: You all were quick to figure out that Xiao and I are adepti how did none of you realise that Zhongli is an adeptus too

 

Yanfei: HE IS AN ADEPTUS??? WHY DID I NEVER SENSE IT I AM AN ADEPTUS TOO

 

Yanfei: Half at least

 

Hu Tao: Wait u are half adeptus

 

Yanfei: Yeah?

 

Hu Tao: Holy shit my girlfriend is a half adeptus yall losers will never be as cool as me 

 

Keqing: Excuse you my girlfriend is a half adeptus too

 

Childe: My boyfriend is a full adeptus 🤡

 

Yoimiya: whats an adeptus

 

Lumine: they are like these divine beasts in Liyue

 

Yoimiya: Like Yae senpai and Kujou Sara in Inazuma?

 

Lumine: Uh

 

Lumine: Ig?

 

Aether: Are u sure that's correct Lumine

 

Lumine: Honestly no idea

 

Venti: If u losers are done

 

Venti: I suddenly remembered the question I wanted to ask Zhongli

 

Venti: Ayo @Zhongli if I ever get married will u walk me down the aisle

 

Aether: Aksjdndnd how can u casually just ask such a serious question

 

Zhongli: I am the only one you know who is older than you. Of course I would walk you down the aisle, Venti. How is that even a question?

 

Venti: ayyyy thank you thank you

 

Aether: The real question  is who would even want to marry you

 

Venti: I think u shld ask yourself that question Aether 

 

Lumine: My brother is gonna marry an adepududsSssgshsjrrhwj

 

Venti: Ayo Aether don't murder Lumine u will have the mafia on ur back

 

Aether: Nah the kamisatos can't catch me that easily

 

Ayato: No actually we don't mind if u do end up murdering ur sister

 

Ayaka: Big brother I will murder you if Aether ends up murdering Lumine

 

Ayato: Thoma won't let that happen

 

Thoma: no actually I will if that's what my lady wants

 

Ayato: Betrayal. By those I considered family. 

 

Ayato: I can never recover from this loss

 

Ayaka:  (◡‿◡✿)

 

Ayato: What happened to you, you used to be so sweet and nice and obedient

 

Ayato: and now u are a devil spawn

 

Ayaka: Maybe if u dint plot my girlfriend's murder every two seconds I wouldnt have had to change my faces

 

Ayato: I am just looking out for u thats what big brothers do

 

Ayaka: Not by planning to kill the person I love!

 

Ayato: SHE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU AYAKA I DONT WANT MY DARLING LITTLE SISTER TO END UP WITH SOMEONE AS CRASS AS HER AND MIGHT I REMIND YOU HOW DANGEROUS SHE IS

 

Ayaka: I DONT CARE I LOVE HER

 

Ayato: WELL I DO CARE AND THATS BECAUSE I DONT WANT MY ONLY SISTER TO END UP BEING HURT BECAUSE AN OUTLANDER DECIDED TO PISS OFF THE GOVERNMENT OR SMTH

 

Ayaka: LUMINE FIGHTS TWO LEGENDARY BEASTS AND A LITERAL GOD EVERY WEEK I HARDLY DOUBT THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE ENOUGH TO HARM HER

 

Ayato: HOW CAN U TYPE ALL THAT AND STILL NOT REALISE HOW DANGEROUS BEING WITH HER IS

 

Ayaka: We are literally in the mafia Ayato we deal with dangerous people on a daily basis

 

Ayato: This is different

 

Ayaka: I don't see how

 

Yoimiya: Maybe u shld take this to the dms

 

Yae Miko: Wait no I just got my popcorn

 

Ei: Miko.

 

Yae Miko: What? Family drama is the best kind of entertainment!

 

Venti: How did my question abt whether or not Zhongli will walk me down the aisle on my wedding turn into a full blown out mafia siblings war

 

Xiao: It can't be helped chaos follows  everywhere u go

 

Venti: True dat

 

Aether: still don't see who would like to marry u

 

Lisa: Oh I actually know a certain someone who would very much like to marry Venti 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 

 

Venti: Lol what

 

Lisa: Jean knows too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 

 

Jean: ????

 

Jean: I do???




[Private message]

 

Lisa: Jean darling please tell me u know who I am talking abt

 

Jean: No I don't Lisa

 

Lisa: What

 

Lisa: But u were literally

 

Lisa: was that all unintentional??

 

Jean: What was all unintentional?

 

Lisa: Jean, darling, love, light of my life

 

Lisa: Did u not yet realise that Diluc has feelings for Venti?

 

Jean: Huh????

 

Jean: Wait a minute??? What???

 

Lisa: Darling, look back on everything u said about Diluc and Venti in the group chat

 

Jean: Oh my god

 

Jean: The apples

 

Lisa: Yes

 

Jean: And the admiration part and when Diluc took Venti to his room when he passed out from being too drunk and 

 

Jean: God there have been so many incidents that I can't even list them all out

 

Jean: Lisa how did I never notice this

 

Lisa: Well to be fair u were convinced that we were only friends even after going on Seven dates with me

 

Jean: I didn't want to assume

 

Lisa: I know sweetheart that's why I kissed u full on the mouth on our eighth date

 

Lisa: Anyway 

 

Lisa: So all this time when u were talking abt Diluc and Venti u never realised Diluc's feelings at all???

 

Jean: No Lisa and I actually feel very guilty now 

 

Jean: I can't believe I just exposed Diluc's feelings like that just out on the groupchat without realising

 

Lisa: I think you should talk to him

 

Jean: I will



[Private message]

 

Jean: Diluc?

 

Diluc: Jean.

 

Jean: Oh thank god u are online

 

Diluc: Why? Did something happen?

 

Jean: Well, Lisa made me realise something…

 

Diluc: Oh god

 

Jean: What? Why?

 

Diluc: Nvm

 

Diluc: Do go on

 

Jean: I think I should start with apologising to you

 

Diluc: It's alright Jean

 

Jean: …..u didn't even let me mention what I am apologising for

 

Diluc: And yet I already know its not ur fault so u don't have to Jean

 

Jean: No I think this time it is my fault

 

Jean: So u know what I said on the gc the other day

 

Jean: About you and Venti?

 

Diluc: …..what about it?

 

Jean: I just…..didn't know…..I am so sorry

 

Diluc: Jean

 

Jean: It was very mean of me to just expose your feelings like that out in the public, Diluc I am so sorry I never realised that you had feelings for Venti until Lisa pointed it out to me. I am just so sorry for being a bad friend and never noticing it either, you must have been so annoyed with what I said.

 

Diluc: Jean.

 

Diluc: I was right when I said you would be apologising for something that isn't even your fault.

 

Diluc: I already knew that you were not aware of it.

 

Diluc: And you can't blame yourself for not noticing it. I never told you in the first place and that makes me the bad best friend because you share everything with me but I withheld this information from you.

 

Jean: No! Don't say that! You have every right to have your own secrets. Even if I am your closest friend, I would never ask you to tell me something so private.

 

Diluc: Exactly, then stop blaming yourself for not noticing something I intentionally hid from you.

 

Jean: Oh

 

Diluc: The fact that Lisa knows……does it mean it's too obvious..?

 

Jean: I wouldn't say that, Lisa is just very smart and has a strong intuition when it comes to matters like these

 

Jean: But um

 

Jean: Are u like

 

Jean: Ever going to confess?

 

Diluc: No

 

Jean: Why???

 

Diluc: There's a lot of reasons actually…

 

Diluc: Firstly, I am happy with how we are currently. We can at least hang out with each other every now and then. If I were to confess and Venti ends up rejecting me it would become too awkward for us to even hang out with each other. 

 

Jean: Oh Diluc

 

Diluc: Besides, Venti is a free spirit. Matters like love and feelings aren't something he should be tied down by, unless he is interested in someone and I hardly doubt it would be me. Venti is too nice and friendly and kind, he gets along with everyone and wouldn't hesitate to help anyone. I am just some guy who scares everyone off with my appearance. And I am hardly as nice as him. He deserves someone so much better than me. Someone who would complement his personality and style. Not me who isn't worthy of being with him.

 

Jean: At the beginning of your reasoning I could see what you meant and why you didn't want to confess but by the end of it I feel like punching you right through the screen

 

Diluc:

 

Jean: How can u look down on yourself so much Diluc

 

Jean: You have done so much for Mondstadt. If anything, I think you two do complement each other! And both of u help Mondstadt behind people's backs and without taking any credit for it. Diluc I understand when u say that u wouldn't confess ur feelings to him because u dont want things to get awkward between u guys but I will absolutely not stand by and watch u put urself down like this

 

Diluc: It's the truth Jean, I can never be good enough for Venti, he's done so much more for Mondstatd then I could ever compare

 

Jean: Will you shut up. You literally used to go out every night to make sure the streets of Mondstadt are safe for everyone and Venti knows how much you do for Mondstadt too. If anything I think he was impressed when he learnt that.

 

Diluc: I still don't think I am someone people, especially Venti, would want to date

 

Jean: Shut the fuck up Diluc "voted the most eligible bachelor of Mondstadt for three years straight" Ragnvindr

 

Diluc: You swore, I am telling Barbara 

 

Jean: you won't

 

Diluc: ….

 

Jean: Learn to be a bit more appreciative of yourself, Diluc. In all matters, not just this.

 

Diluc: I will think about it

 

Jean: Where are you right now Diluc

 

Diluc: The cafeteria why

 

Jean: I am coming over to give you a hug

 

Diluc: You don't have to

 

Jean: Too late I am already on my way



 

[Osmanthus Wine]

 

Ei: I just saw Jean Gunnhildr randomly show up in the cafeteria and give the red haired kid a hug are your juniors okay Venti?

 

Venti: Nah they all need help

 

Venti: which red haired kid

 

Lumine: Pretty sure there's only one in Mondstadt 

 

Ei: Your crush

 

Venti: AJSJBSJDDNR DILUC IS NOT MY CRUSH

 

Lumine: Lmfao no one said he is u literally exposed urself

 

Aether: Venti u literally wrote a whole poem on Diluc and his 'gorgeous red hair' and 'beautiful copper coloured eyes' 

 

Venti: (1) It was a ballad know the difference u heathen (2) I never mentioned who it was yall are just making assumptions 

 

Aether: You literally

 

Aether: The description was so accurately Diluc 

 

Lumine: That even a kid could figure out it was Diluc in the ballad

 

Venti: I was just using him as my muse that doesn't mean I have a crush on him what are u guys even talking abt

 

Zhongli: But you did say that he suits the title of Mondstadt's most eligible bachelor given and I quote, "How charming and gentlemanly his personality and looks are."

 

Venti: WHEN DID I SAY THAT WTF

 

Lumine: Venti ayxitydfjgug7gh that is so cringe I am crying

 

Venti: ZHONGLI IS TROLLING THAT DOESNT SOUNF LIKE ME AT ALL

 

Zhongli: You were drunk.

 

Venti: Oh then maybe I did say that

 

Venti: BUT IT STILL DOESNT MEAN I HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM

 

Zhongli: Venti there have been more than one instances where you have been drunk and intruded into my house and waxed poetry about Diluc Ragnvindr and his, I quote, 'perfect looks'.

 

Aether: LMFAOOO U GO ZHONGLI EXPOSE ALL OF VENTI'S PINING LOVERBOY TENDENCIES

 

Venti: WHAT THE FUCK I DID THAT?????????

 

Zhongli: I will record it next time.

 

Venti: NO FUCKING NEED

 

Venti: I can wax poetry about the guy I consider my muse nothing gay abt that

 

Ei: Keep telling yourself that loverboy.

 

Venti: Ei??? You too???

 

Ei: I stand by my words.

 

Aether: Venti bullying era

 

Lumine changed the group chat name to [Loverboy Venti bullying hours]

 

Venti: LUMINE WHAT THE FUCK

 

Venti: I FUCKING HATE THIS FAMILY

 

Ei: You sound a lot like Kunikuzushi when u say that

 

Venti: Dont compare me to ur demonspawn kid

 

Ei: I already told u he's a lot better once u get to know him

 

Venti: Ei he literally tried to bite me when I asked him to call me uncle

 

Ei: That's ur fault for treating him like a child 

 

Venti: But he is a child!

 

Ei: He is sensitive when it come to his height so he doesn't like it when people call him or treat him like a child.

 

Venti: Well at least I can relate to him on height matters

 

Lumine: You must be the shortest guy I have ever met tbh

 

Venti: Xiao exists 

 

Lumine: Oh right lol

 

Aether: Dont talk shit abt my boyfriend u heathens

 

Lumine: BOYFRIEND?

 

Aether: Future* boyfriend

 

Lumine: so u finally accepted it

 

Aether: I saw Venti and decided I do not want to be like him

 

Venti: This is slander

 

Aether: I try my best 

 

Lumine: So when are u going to ask him out Aeth

 

Aether: Let's not get ahead of ourselves Lumi

 

Lumine: Coward

 

Aether: Childe literally had to ask out ur girlfriend for u

 

Lumine: SHUT






Notes:

Azdaha vs Dvalin. Who do u think would win? Your answers will decide the outcome of their match so choose wisely (no seriously I thought and thought about it but couldn't pick a winner so I'd really appreciate some extra opinions on this matter)

Chapter 9: Xingqiu's Auntie

Summary:

Shady business

Notes:

I have so much to say but I forgot half the stuff so let me start by apologising for the extremely late update, my school started a week after I posted the previous chapter and I got so busy I had no time to type at all TT I also leveled up by a year that same week (all my friends either forgot or did not know it was my birthday but eh). Besides that, I FINALLY got a new computer this week!!! (And preformed terribly on all my tests but thats smth I will worry about later) So I can finally type on an actual keyboard instead of my phone screen!!

I also reached ar 56 which further solidifies the fact that I have no life and actually need some grass.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Kuki Shinobu: Ah

 

Yoimiya: Oh

 

Itto: Huh Why does that name sound familiar?

 

Yelan: Oh does it now?

 

Yoimiya: No! Don't listen to Itto he doesn't know what he's talking about half the time

 

Itto: Ouch Yoimiya that hurt

Xiangling: Me and Guoba!

 

Ayaka: Ayato, Thoma and I would like to join as well

 

Xingqiu: Chongyun and I will be coming along too

 

Aether: Why does it feel like the battleground between two legendary dragons just became a popular tourist spot for couples and family outings

 

Zhongli: We urge everyone who is coming along to exercise caution and remain within the safety line throughout the battle. Venti and I will set up a barrier of Geo and Anemo to make sure no attack lands on the spectators, but we still hope you will maintain caution.

 

Xiao: I am actually worried

 

Ganyu: We should probably go just to make sure everyone is safe

 

Xiao: You’re right

 

Hu Tao: This sounds good for my business hehe

Notes:

I swear I wanted to finish up the Azdaha vs Dvalin showdown in this chapter but couldnt fit it in TT and thanks y'all so much for the comments in the previous chapter it really made me sit and think more about Azdaha, Dvalin and Durin more than I ever did! Don't worry the next chapter will definitely have the winner of the duel.

On another note, Yelan turned out a bit OOC in my fic but thats probably because I started writing her in this before 2.7 was released so I apologise for that I will try to stick to her character better in the future.

I cannot promise when I will post the next chapter however TT like I said school has made me busier and its high time I start focusing on my grades if I am to do well this year. But thank you guys so much for all the support and encouragement it motivates me very much!! I also have lots of other fic ideas and plan on writing them when I take a break from this fic after one or two more chapters.

Also did you guys watch the 2.8 livestream? It was pretty wild with all the lags and glitches lol but all the trailers and events have got me very excited for the version!! And Diluc and Fischl's new skins oh my god they loook absolutely amazing!! And the banners too!! I cant wait for 2.8 to go live it seems very fun especially since it will have the golden apple archipelago rerun (I started playing during 2.3 so i missed the first one) so yeah, it sounds very exciting!!!

Chapter 10: 3...2...1

Summary:

Fight!

Notes:

Okay let me start off by thanking each and everyone of yall who replied to my Azdaha vs Dvalin question it was really fun to read each and everyone's opinions and views on the battle I learned quite a lot of new things from yall too! I compiled all the comments into votes and as for who won, u will find out in the chapter below! I for the love of god can't write fight scenes well but tried my best for this one even if it was just narration from one of the characters but it was fun ngl so I am not very disappointed either hehe.

Enjoy your reading byee (✪‿✪)ノ

(oh yeah also not beta read so if u see any mistakes i am very sorrry i will correct them when i reread it later (;´瓜`) )

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

[Teyvat Gays]

 

Xingqiu: I am betting my money on Dvalin winning the match

 

Xiangling: You’re a Liyuen, you should be supporting Azdaha!

 

Bennett: I think Azdaha will win!

 

Fischl: I, Fischl, Prinzessine der Verurteilung, do not stand with the declaration of my good companion and will remain loyal to the land which offered me a dwelling when I was banished from my magnificent homeland of Immemachtreich, and shall place my honor and belief upon the glorious Wind dragon whose humble name one has known to be Dvalin

 

Oz: The Prinzessine wants to say that she’s placing her bets on Dvalin

 

Venti: As she should thank you for the support Xingqiu and Fischl

 

Beidou: We have a betting pool now eh?

 

Beidou: Well my bets are on Azdaha cause he looks tougher

 

Ningguang: My bets are on Dvalin for reasons I don’t think are necessary to disclose

 

Beidou: Ning?? 

 

Ningguang: You are going to lose the bet darling

 

Beidou: HAHA We will see about that!

 

Beidou: Kazuha who are u supporting my son?

 

Ningguang: Surely it’s me, the smarter mother and the one who gives your daily allowance

 

Beidou: Thats cheating Ning you cant influence our son with money

 

Ningguang: It’s not cheating if I win

 

Beidou: Which you won’t

 

Ningguang: We will see about that

 

Kazuha: I think I am going to sit this one out

 

Kazuha: Atb to u two tho

 

Aether: Alright everyone who bets on azdaha dm me and ur amount and those who bet on dvalin dm Lumi 

 

Jean: I

 

Jean: Is this morally right?

 

Lisa: Its all in fun Jean dont worry about the morals

 

Jean: But

 

Lisa: Dont u have work to do go shoo

 

Jean: ..

 

Ayato: I am placing my bets on who’s going to come out more injured, its going to be Dvalin regardless of who wins

 

Childe: My bets are on Azdaha because I believe in Zhongli

 

Lumine: Simp

 

Childe: No you

 

Aether: Alright everyone dm ur bets and then stfu its starting now



[Teyvat Gays]

 

Hu Tao: Oh ho hooo I can smell the Dvalin betters losing ya boi got hit and is injured badly

 

Xingqiu: I think u mean the Azdaha betters because Dvalin is not the one who is too heavy to dodge attacks

 

Ningguang: @Ganyu what’s happening

 

Ganyu: Uh..a lot

 

Yanfei: Allow me

 

Yanfei: So the duel started with both of them greeting each other very politely

 

Lumine: Nothing new

 

Yanfei: And so when the battle started, Dvalin immediately took off to the skies without giving Azdaha any chance to hit him, so yeah the next several minutes was spent in Azdaha throwing elemental attacks on Dvalin and Dvalin dodging them all and occasionally sending an attack or two towards Azdaha but apparently Azdaha’s skin is too sturdy so it didn't affect him much

 

Yanfei: Actually I cant do this alone, anyone willing to join in?

 

Kuki Shinobu: I can help senpai

 

Yanfei: Thanks Shinobu u can continue where i left off

 

Kuki Shinobu: So Azdaha unleashed several deadly attacks but since they were all Geo and affected the ground more than the sky, they dint do much. But then he went underground with his tail sticking out I think Dvalin saw this as a chance and swooped down and shot anemo bullets at Azdaha and I think he was going to unleash a stronger attack but then Azdaha came out and slammed Dvalin straight on his head with his horns

 

Hu Tao: Those who placed their bets on Dvalin regretting life rn

 

Hu Tao: OH WAIt

 

Yelan: What’s going on? 

 

Yelan: My bets are on Dvalin and i dont want to lose

 

Yanfei: You should do something about your gambling addiction Yelan

 

Yelan: never

 

Keqing: Okay whats going on u cant just leave us hanging like that

 

Ganyu: Dvalin seems to have gained an advantage over Azdaha 

 

Ningguang: I didn’t take you to be someone interested in betting, Keqing

 

Keqing: I am not, I just want to know the result of this match because I am curious



[Private message]

 

Keqing: Is it too late to change my bets from Azdaha to Dvalin

 

Aether: yes

 

Keqing: Fuck.



[Teyvat Gays]

 

Yanfei: Sorry sorry I dropped my phone because of the earthquake so anyways after Azdaha slammed Dvalin with his horns, Dvalin fell to the ground and you know Azdaha could have actually finished him off with one last attack if Dvalin had not blinded Azdaha with anemo before falling so yeah Azdaha was just blindly attacking the ground while  Dvalin was struggling against the tremors to try and fly again

 

Yanfei: On to you Shinobu

 

Kuki Shinobu: Like senpai said, Azdaha unleashed a very strong shockwave which could have ended the match with him winning but Dvalin was on the other side of the arena so even though he got fatally injured because of Azdaha’s other ground based attacks, he avoided the elemental ones because Azdaha couldn’t see properly

 

Kuki Shinobu: He managed to gather his remaining strength and fly up in the sky and oh he’s actually bleeding…a lot

 

Keqing: What’s Azdaha’s state?

 

Yanfei: I think he’s still partially blinded because of Dvalin’s anemo attack, other than that, he seems tired and I can’t quite make out if he’s injured or not since he isn’t bleeding but his attacks and movements have become slow and a little bit weaker than before especially after he entered his elemental infusion state 

 

Lumine: wait lets ask Zhongli

 

Lumine: @Zhongli what do u think of Azdaha’s state right now?

 

Zhongli: I am afraid that despite how he looks on the exterior, the fatigue of the battle is getting to him. Although he is in a much better state compared to Dvalin, he is also in a much worse state compared to all the other battles he had fought. He does not bleed like Dvalin since most of his skin is rock but you can make out by the fissures on his skin that Dvalin’s attacks have taken quite a heavy toll on him.

 

Zhongli: I will be honest, I am impressed by Dvalin’s power.

 

Venti: Azdaha doing great too tbh its the first time I have seen Dvalin so injured in a battle

 

Jean: Are you sure this is alright? They both seem to be in terrible states, what if one of them ends up so badly injured that the consequences end in something we could never imagine.

 

Lisa: Jean darling, are you okay?

 

Jean: I am just a bit scared for them, Lisa. I don’t know Azdaha but I have met Dvalin personally but either way I don’t want something disastrous t o happen.

 

Venti: Jean jean jean jeeeaaaan

 

Venti: I understand your concerns Jean, but this is not a battle to death. We asked Azdaha and Dvalin if they would be interested in dueling each other and they happily agreed. If either one of them had said no or expressed any reluctance, neither Zhongli nor I would have forced them. Because as much as we like holding onto our reputation, they are our friends and we would never ask them to do something they don’t want to, even if it costs our reputation.

 

Aether: Holy shit I was ready to believe that Zhongli was typing from venti’s phone but no its Venti I can see him typing

 

Zhongli: The bard can be quite eloquent when he wants to be

 

Venti: ehe

 

Lumine: Aaand its ruined

 

Zhongli: Anyways, as the bard said, please do not worry, Jean. We have asked Azdaha and Dvalin both to forfeit the match should they find it too hard on themselves and as much as they pride themselves on their strength, both of them are aware of their limitations and will withdraw immediately should they realize they can go on no longer.

 

Jean: You are both older and wiser than me so I believe you

 

Venti: Akdjjfh Jean dont lump me in with that old man

 

Lumine: Lmao old man Venti

 

Aether: Old man Venti

 

Venti: HEY HEY

 

Venti: STOP THAT

 

Kaeya: Cool cool cool now can someone update us on the match I dont wanna buy Rosaria drinks for a whole month if I lose my bet

 

Rosaria: Get ur wallet ready

 

Yanfei: Sorry yes let me just go through what happened

 

Yanfei: So Dvalin did this attack that Venti called Celesti smth smth

 

Venti: Caelestinum Finale Termini how hard is to remember

 

Yanfei: Very much. 

 

Yanfei: Anyway so the ground underneath azdaha cracked but mind u that he had entered his dual elemental fusion state by now so while dvalin was swooping down to do the celesti smth smth attack, azdaha hit him with zaps of electro and a hailstorm of cryo

 

Kaeya: Rosie looks like its u who’s gotta buy my drinks for the next month

 

Rosie: we will see about that

 

Kuki Shinobu: But while Azdaha attacked him, Dvalin attacked him too so there was a huge shockwave that resulted in a swirl between cryo and electro with continuous anemo ripping against Azdaha’s skin from the ground beneath him. At first Dvalin was caught in the elemental strom but he managed to use his anemo burst bombs to tear open a passgage for himself now onto u Yanfei senpai

 

Yanfei: Azdaha is still stuck in the storm and taking a lot of damage I think its the electro ad cryo backfiring at him along with the sharp gales from Dvalin’s Celesti attack

 

Venti: Caelestinum Finale Termini I literally thought of it like minutes ago how hard can it be to remember

 

Yanfei: Not commenting on that. So yeah, Dvalin seems like he is on the verge of falling out of the sky but Azdaha is doing worse than him given how he is taking damage from three elements all at once aaand he went down into the ground

 

Zhongli: Azdaha is too injured to arise out of the ground again I am afraid the battle has come to an end

 

Ei: Suffice to say, the victor has been decided

 

Yae Miko: It was a very exciting match, even if I did lose my bet

 

Lumine: Dvalin wins! 

 

Ningguang: I knew it

 

Beidou: Damn but Azdaha put up a tough fight too so no regrets for betting on him

 

Rosaria: @Kaeya get ur wallet ready bitch

 

Xingqiu: And you all were slandering me for betting on Dvalin

 

Ayato: I would have won either way because like I predicted, Dvalin is in a much much worse state than Azdaha despite winning

 

Aether: Speaking of which @Venti Dvalin needs immediate medical attention and @Zhongli will Azdaha be alright

 

Zhongli: I spoke to him and he says that the fight had quite the impact on him so he will remain in the ground for several months to rest and recuperate and also @Venti, Azdaha expresses his sincere gratitude and appreciation for this match and has a newfound respect for Dvalin. He says he would like to "hang out" Dvalin sometime in the future when they are both in better conditions.

 

Venti: Ayyy das so cool yea I'll let Dvalin know

 

Venti: Also I will take Dvalin to his lair, he’ll probably need to sleep for months or years depending on his injuries but dw I will make sure to patch him up properly once we reach there

 

Aether: @Venti HE’S FALLING VENTI HE’S FALLING VENTI DO SOMETHING DVALIN IS FALLING

 

Venti: WIAT I AM GETTING TO HIM

 

Aether: Oh

 

Venti: Wow okay that was unexpected

 

Lumine: Everybody say thank you Durin for saving Dvalin from a fatal fall

 

Venti: @Albedo please thank him from my side 

 

Albedo: I will

Rhinedottire: Is it done? How'd it go?

Rhinedottire: Fuck I owe Dain 100 bucks now

 

Rhinedottire: Anyway did u children have fun? How did Durin feel?

 

Albedo: It was actually very fun and Durin got along quite well with many people too 

 

Albedo: He also managed to speak once to Dvalin before the match began and mother I think he's too far gone

 

Rhinedottire: Ah, young love

 

Albedo: He tried to break into the arena every time Dvalin got hit in the name of avenging him but fortunately the barriers were too strong for him

 

Rhinedottire: That's my boy

 

Albedo: Mother.

 

Rhinedottire: Ahem 

 

Rhinedottire: So did he manage to finally grab a date with the dragon of his dreams??? Pls say yes or I will cry

 

Albedo: He saved Dvalin from falling and was asked to accompany Dvalin till his lair by Venti so that counts I suppose

 

Rhinedottire: YES. THAT'S MY BOY.

 

Rhinedottire: You all are growing up so fast it makes me emotional

 

Rhinedottire: Soon Klee will grow up too and will have to leave me and Alice and we will be all alone

 

Albedo: Mother, Klee is a preschooler she won't be leaving you and Aunt Alice anytime soon

 

Rhinedottire: That's what they said about you and now look! You are already in university and soon Durin will want to leave too

 

Albedo: Mother are you drunk

 

Rhinedottire: A little

 

Albedo: ….it's four in the afternoon

 

Rhinedottire: Alcohol don't need no time!!

 

Albedo: I am telling Aunt Alice

 

Rhinedottire: WAIT ALBEDO DONT

Aether: It's too late Ei he's gone

 

Ei: Why does he keep avoiding me whenever I mention dueling with him

 

Lumine: lmao he's probably scared of getting his ass kicked

 

Ei: I won't kick his ass I just want a duel with him

 

Paimon: Paimon thinks it's the same thing 

 

Itto: The floating lavender melon is here too???

 

Paimon: WHAT DID U JUST CALL ME U BULL CHUCKER

Diluc: Well you see it went like this

 

Diluc: I came across him in Springvale singing to a few kids with his lyre he looked like an angel Jean but that is not the point the point is I wanted to ask him if he would want to have lunch with me since I saw his text about missing breakfast in the group chat but maybe because I saw him looking so beautiful and angelic I thought about how i would feel if ever ended up going on a date with him and I was lost in thoughts so when he called out to me instead of asking if he would like to have lunch with me I ended up asking if he would like to go on a date with me and I actually feel so stupid I cant believe I did that what is Venti gonna think

 

Jean: Did he agree??

 

Diluc: …yes

 

Jean: OHMYGOD DILUC THIS IS GREAT NEWS I AM SO PROUD OF YOU

 

Diluc: BUT JEAN WHAT IF VENTI HATES ME AFTER THIS WHAT IF HE ONLY AGREED BECAUSE HE DIDNT WANT TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD OR SOMETHING

Diluc: Well not really but

 

Jean: I will stop you right there

Summary:

....they do a terrible job of staying undercover

Notes:

This chapter is again shorter than the others but this time its because I realised that if I wanted to properly express what went on during the diluven mall date, chatfic chapter wont be enough, so theres an extra along with this chapter :D Heads up, its pretty long....longer than even I expected but I had fun writng it so theres that.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

[Before the events of ch11]



Putting away his phone, Diluc sucked in a deep breath as he got ready to head out. 

 

It's no big deal. It's no big deal. It's just a date. He kept telling himself in an attempt to calm his nerves except somewhere along the way his thoughts had shifted to It's just a date. What if Venti doesn't want anything more to do with him after this? What if Venti finally realised what a loser he was halfway through the date and decided that it was simply not worth it? But what if none of that happened and this actually worked out? Was he even good enough for Venti? Would he ever be good enough-

 

Stop. Stop overthinking. A voice that sounded a lot like Jean's shouted in his head. Diluc sighed. The voice was right. He should worry about all that afterwards. For now, the only thing that mattered was that he was going on a date with the most beautiful and angelic and amazing and-

 

Ahem. The point is he was finally going on a date with the person he was in love with so it was an occasion to be excited about, not nervous. So steeling himself and trying his best to calm down his hammering heart, Diluc finally headed out.

 

****

 

Venti was feeling…..jittery. Which was weird because he had never felt like this before. Sure he had gone on dates before but this particular one was somehow making him feel unusually cheerful and restless compared to all the others. And his date hadn't even begun yet.

 

At the same time he couldn't help but feel like there was something off in his surroundings. Like something was watching him. Lifting his head up from his phone, he surveyed the area but could notice nothing different. There was a rustle in the bushes a few feet away from him. Curious, he was about to approach it when a gray kitten jumped out and ran past him. 

 

Venti immediately put as much distance between him and the cat and the bush as possible. Nope! Today will not be the day he would embarrass himself by having an allergic reaction and spending the whole day sneezing and coughing instead of enjoying the company of the most handsome and amazing and charm- 

 

Ahem. The point is he did not want to have Diluc deal with his sick self so he opted to make sure none of the cat's hair or anything related to it got onto him. Luckily he retreated quickly enough. There were no signs of any sneezing or coughing threatening to over take him, which was a relief.



****

 

"Why would you opt to hide in a bush of all places??" Ei asked in an irritated voice as she plucked out a leaf stuck in her(Miko's) scarf.

 

"Well, when I asked Hu Tao which would be the best hiding place to spy on someone, she confidently suggested a bush." Zhongli replied in a matter-of-fact voice.

 

Ei opened her mouth to argue but realised that it would be a futile attempt since she hardly had any better options to suggest for hiding anyways.

 

Zhongli carefully observed Venti through the thick lenses of his fake glasses and remarked, "Venti somehow seems more excited than usual."

 

Ei nodded, "I noticed too, maybe this is the one after all."

 

Zhongli agreed, "I thought so too, oh, here he comes."

 

****

 

"Where the fuck are they?"

 

The parents of the children standing around them gasped in disapproval and quickly covered the ears of their young ones.

 

Childe sincerely apologized to them with a guilty smile on his face and turned to Yae Miko, "There are children around, can you not swear so casually?" He hissed.

 

Yae Miko ignored him and continued to look around for any traces of Ei or Zhongli. She found neither and was thoroughly disappointed.

 

"Do you see them, young one?" She asked without looking at Childe.

 

Childe cringed at being addressed as 'young one', surely she couldn't be that older than him. Regardless he replied, "Nope, not a clue- oh wait I see Diluc."

 

Yae Miko perked up, "Where?"

 

Childe's eyes followed the red haired youngster's movement, "He went inside."

 

Yae Miko smirked, "Perfect. Let's follow the bait, we will get our catch soon enough."

 

*****

 

Jean thought that maybe Lisa was right after all when she said Jean behaved more like a mother than a best friend.

 

After all, how else could she describe the wave of pride she felt when she saw Diluc walk upto Venti as confidently as possible and greet him properly for once. He was nervous, true, but only Jean could notice it. Perks of being best friends since childhood she supposed. She was also aware that behind her, Lisa was admiring the newest set of books that had arrived at the bookstore they were currently hiding in. She only hoped that Lisa wouldn't tire of this soon.

 

Lisa was already tired. She was all for gossip and for finding out the latest tea on all matters. But this one was just…..boring. It was quite obvious that Venti and Diluc were pining for each other and this date would probably go well enough even without her darling chaperoning it. But when she saw Jean's determined and excited face, she couldn't say no. So here she was, on a Saturday afternoon, tailing two idiots in love with her girlfriend instead of lying in bed and snoring.

 

"I am so proud of him." She heard Jean sniffle and smiled to herself.

 

Maybe just a little longer.

 

****

 

When Diluc arrived, Venti seemed to be looking around for something. The latter hadn't noticed him yet. 

 

Unsure on what to say, he coughed once to catch the other's attention.

 

Venti turned back around immediately at the sound and his eyes lit up when they landed on Diluc. He was taken aback by how particularly handsome the other looked today. Venti had always thought that black was Diluc's colour and he was undoubtedly right. Coupled with his sharp copper coloured eyes and his flaming red hair tied in a high ponytail, Venti could see why the young man was fawned over by many in Mondstadt. He really was too lucky to be going on a date with someone as dreamy as Diluc Ragnvindr.

 

On Diluc's side, he was internally panicking when Venti just looked at him with a surprised look without saying anything. Did he wear something wrong? Was Jean right after all about his dressing sense? But this outfit was Jean approved so it had to pass the vibe check, right? Right???

 

While Diluc was lost in his own thoughts, Venti finally spoke up, "You look amazing today, Master Diluc!"

 

Diluc tried his best to fight the blush threatening to overcome his face and replied without looking at Venti, "Th-thanks…you too…."

 

Venti chuckled, "Won't you at least look at me while you say that?"

 

Diluc felt his face flare up in embarrassment and immediately looked at Venti and tried to explain, "N-no I wasn't-I meant-"

 

He stopped short when he finally saw Venti's appearance. There wasn't much difference in his attire compared to his usual green clothing but today Venti had decided to discard his usual braids for a simple ponytail hanging down at the back of his head, there were still a few strands falling over his turquoise green eyes and Diluc had to resist the urge to brush them away with all that he had in him.

 

"You look beautiful."

 

The words were out before he could stop himself. Diluc realised how unimaginative he sounded but he couldn't help it. There really was no other way to describe Venti. He avoided looking at the bard's face after saying that and turned towards the entrance, "Shall we?"

 

Venti, who had been too flustered to speak after Diluc's comment finally managed to come to his senses and let out a low laugh. He stepped forward and wrapped his hands around Diluc's arm, "Let's go." He said with a smile.

 

Ignoring the heavy thumping of his heart at the gesture, Diluc nodded with a flushed face, simply because he knew that at the moment he could not speak without becoming a stuttering, blushing mess.

 

****

 

"Zhongli, surely I am not that old that my eyes would deceive me….but did Venti just blush?" Ei lifted her glasses over her head to get a better look at the couple, convinced that she must have seen wrong.

 

"I am sure that I saw him blush too." Zhongli said in an impressed voice, "The Ragnvindr youngster is full of surprises. I doubt I have seen anyone make Venti blush so vehemently with just a few words."

 

Ei nodded, "But we are still yet to see how he fares for the rest of the day."

 

Zhongli leaned forward on his hand, the sunlight glinted against his thick framed fake glasses, "Of course." He said while nodding slowly. The fake mustache felt itchy against his skin but he did not want to risk removing it and being recognised.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

****

 

Their first stop for the date was the Good Hunter cafe, after all every good relationship starts with a lovely shared meal. Venti was the one who suggested it and Diluc barely had the time to agree while he was already being dragged through the entrance. 

 

“I come here often with Ei and Zhongli, their apple cider is amazing….well still not as heavenly as the one at Angel’s Share, but good enough!” He said excitedly.

Diluc couldn’t help the pride he felt when Venti mentioned that he still liked the apple cider at Angel's share the best. He didn't often bartend at the tavern but whenever he was lucky enough to bartend at the same time that Venti was visiting, he would always make sure to be extra conscious of the drinks he made…..not that he would admit that to anyone.

 

Once they settled down at a table close to the window, Venti spoke, "So? What would you like to have?"

 

"Whatever you would suggest." Diluc replied and immediately thought about how rude he sounded. He was about to apologise when Venti clapped his hands and grinned, "Great choice! I was about to recommend the caramel pudding! Oooh there's also grape soda, you might enjoy that, since grape juice is your favourite, right?"

 

Venti stopped and looked at Diluc expectantly. Diluc was taken aback for a moment, "How did you know that grape juice is my favourite?" 

 

"Because you are always drinking it, Master Diluc," Venti laughed again, "I have heard that you aren't a fan of wine, but that doesn't stop you from making the best drinks in Mondstadt. I can vouch for that too!"

 

Diluc blinked in surprise. Venti had really noticed such a small detail about him? Could this mean that Venti was actually interested in him? At least a little bit?

 

"Hm? Why aren't you saying anything?"

 

"Oh..uh, nothing….speaking of which….which is your favorite drink of choice? Besides wine, that is." Diluc was genuinely curious, although he already had an idea of what it could be.

 

"Apple cider!" Venti replied and Diluc was about to speak when a movement at the corner of his eye caught his attention.

 

Was it just his imagination or did a familiar head of blonde hair just dart past him?

 

Venti noticed his shift in attention and turned to look out the window.

 

And that's when he saw it.

 

He had the biggest urge to curse.

 

Those two fucking idiots.

 

Who the fuck. Just who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to let them just walk out their houses looking like the two shadiest people on the planet. And he nearly cried when he realised that Zhongli was wearing not only a fake mustache and fake glasses but a huge fucking fake nose too. Not even children would be stupid enough to wear that in public what the fuck. He was this close to praying to Celestia when the two of them took the newspapers thrown to the side and sat down with their faces hidden. It was fucking afternoon and those papers were days old not to mention that there was literally no lighting in the spot they were sitting in what the Celestia is wrong with them. And what the hell was Yae Miko thinking giving Ei the most suspicious batch of scarf and sunglasses he had ever seen in his life. It was freaking neon pink and the glasses were gold plated. She might as well be holding a board displaying the words "Notice me!!!" in the boldest font.

 

Taking a deep breath, he turned back to Diluc who was looking at him in confusion and worry.

 

"Venti, are you okay? You look distressed."

 

Venti's heart softened at the concern, "It's nothing, just something I remembered, shall we order?"

 

Diluc nodded and was about to reply when he finally noticed it.

 

He had to hold back a sigh. Diluc should have more or less expected it. But the whole excitement about going on a date with Venti had made him forget all about his best friend's over protective nature. And of all places, she chose to hide behind a recommendation board. Classic, Jean. Just classic.

 

Diluc looked back at Venti, "Would you excuse me for a moment? I will be right back."

 

Venti nodded, "Sure, I will order for you meanwhile."

 

"Thank you," he said as he stood up.

 

This could not have been a more perfect opportunity. Good thing Venti had already decided what he would like Diluc to try from the menu, so as soon as he was done ordering, he went to finally confront the two idiots who thought taking inspirations from a trashy children's magazine was a good way to spy on someone.



[Present]

 

Venti wasn't even surprised that Zhongli didn't notice him show up right behind him. The blockhead was texting Ei while she was sitting literally right next to him.

 

Upon reading the latest text Zhongli sent to Ei, Venti finally snapped, 

 

“Or maybe you should stop spying on someone else’s date and mind your own business." The smile on Venti's face did not falter even as his two friends turned around in shock and nearly fell off their chairs.

 

Zhongli, being the idiot he was, tried to play it off cool, "I am afraid I do not know what you are talking about, stranger."

 

Ei, being the smart-ass she is, decided to go along with his charade, she cleared her throat, "Uh-huh, that's right….who are you and what do you want from us?" 

 

Venti was this close to chucking the both of them off the topmost floor of the building. But being the patient person he was, all he did was reach forward and rip both of their pathetic cheap disguises right off their faces with a still smiling face, except there was now also a vein throbbing on the right of his forehead.

 

A dark shadow loomed over the smiling bard's face, "What do you guys have to say for yourselves?"

 

****

 

Jean made a run for it the moment she got Lisa's text but it was just her luck that the path she took had just been freshly mopped and she ended up slipping and landing face first on the floor. At least there was no one around to witness her pathetic fall.

 

Or so she thought.

 

"You deserved that." A familiar, tired voice spoke.

 

She got up and turned around with the fakest smile she could manage, "Oh my god! Fancy seeing you here, best friend!" Aaand she had already blown it up with the weird as fuck greeting.

 

Diluc's expression remained deadpan even as he heard those words. 

 

Jean laughed awkwardly, "Aren't you going to say anything?"

 

Diluc sighed, "I don't know what to say."

 

And now the guilt hit her in full force, "Are you…..disappointed in me?" She asked in a low voice.

 

Diluc rolled his eyes, "Who am I? Your parent? Of course not, but care to explain why?"

 

Jean let out a sigh of relief, "Well this may seem stupid but I was just, uhhhn you know, just a little worried….."

 

Diluc shook his head, "I am fine, Jean. I know you are only trying to help….but really I am okay."

 

"I-I know….but you just seemed so nervous….and I know I shouldn't have- a good friend wouldn't do this I know but-"

 

"Jean." Diluc interrupted her, "Let me stop you right there. You are my best friend and nothing would change that. On another hand, I understand that you were worried and trying to help me. And you did. The reassurance you send me through your texts every time I feel low means a lot to me, you know? And even now, although it is a major breach of my privacy, I know you did it for my sake." 

 

Jean felt emotional on hearing those words, holding back tears, she asked "So we good?"

 

Diluc scoffed, "I wouldn't dare pick a fight with you, Lisa would have my head for that."

 

Despite herself, Jean burst out laughing but then stopped short when she realised she abandoned her beloved somewhere in this maze of a shopping center.

 

Diluc smiled amusedly, he pretended to think for a while, "I believe I saw a beautiful woman with a purple hat standing by the movie theater, she gave me a message to pass onto her beloved dandelion, too bad I wouldn't know who that is. Do you, by any chance?"

 

Jean raised her eyebrows, "Oh! I wouldn't know either, but it would be a shame to leave a lady hanging. So being the gentlewoman I am, I will do the honorable job of accompanying her!"

 

Diluc nodded profoundly, "I'd expect no less from Master Gunnhildr."

 

Jean replied with a serious nod of her own, "Which does remind me that wasn't there a certain bard Master Ragnvindr was dining with? What a shame it would be to have kept his beloved waiting for longer than expected."

 

Jean smiled at the sudden flush that appeared on Diluc's face, "He isn't- we aren't-"

 

"Not yet," Jean provided, "But soon." Her smile turned mischievous, "See you later, Master Ragnvindr." And with that, Master Gunnhildr made her way towards the movie theater to accompany the love of her life.

 

Diluc opened his mouth and closed it again. Finally, when Jean's words caught up with him, he realized how long it had been since he left Venti at the Cafe and turned around to hurry to his date as soon as possible.

 

Beloved. The blush on his face deepened at the thought of using that word to refer to Venti.

 

****

 

"Well that worked out," Aether remarked while still readily holding the sack meant for Jean.

 

The twins were hiding behind the wall next to which Jean and Diluc had been talking. 

 

Lumine nodded, "Better text Barbara that we won't be kidnapping her sister after all."

 

****

 

"We were-Uh…."

 

"Practising."

 

"Yes. That."

 

Venti's expression did not waver, "Oh? I see. And what for exactly? The new ballad?"

 

Zhongli nodded with the confidence of a thousand scholars, "Yes. That one."

 

"Mhm." Ei agreed.

 

Venti's smile grew colder, "The one titled, 'That time my idiot friends dressed up in the most ridiculous disguises to spy on me'?"

 

"Yes that on- wait there is a ballad like that?"

 

"There will be after I write it," Venti said through gritted teeth.

 

Ei looked at Zhongli as if waiting for him to say something. Zhongli looked back at Ei, as if expecting her to say something. The two stared at each other blankly while Venti felt another vein throb at the side of his head.

 

"Okay that's enough. We will talk about this later. You two are such idiots. I need to have a thorough talk with you guys about disguises and discretion and I can't do it now because I am on a date with someone I might actually really like a lot and I do not want to disappoint him by being MIA when he returns to the table."

 

Without waiting for either of them to reply, Venti turned around and started walking away.

 

"So-" Ei started 

 

"Go.home." Venti said without looking back.

 

"Ah," Zhongli said while sipping onto his osmanthus tea which tasted the same as he remembered but where are those who shared the-

 

"SHUT.UP." Venti shouted one last time before disappearing from their sight completely.

 

"It seems we have touched a nerve," Zhongli said while taking another sip of his tea.

 

Ei looked at him with disbelief and incredulity clear, on her face, "Ya think???" 

 

****

 

When Venti finally returned to the table, he was relieved to find that Diluc hadn't returned yet. Making himself comfortable, he picked up the menu again just to distract himself and let his annoyance at the two idiots die down. 

 

He heard a cough and looked up to see Diluc sit down opposite to him, "Sorry….did I make you wait too long?"

 

Venti immediately felt his spirits lift up, "Not at all! Also, I ordered for both of us!"

 

Diluc let out a sigh of relief internally, "Thank you," he said.

 

Venti looked at him for a while and then spoke in a careful tone, "Say, Master Diluc-"

 

"You don't have to-"

 

"Huh?"

 

"I mean….you don't have to….address me by the title…..just Diluc is fine…" Diluc did not look Venti in the eye while he spoke those words, hoping the heat he felt on his face was not as visible as it felt.

 

Venti felt his heart soften again at the awkward sweetness of the young heir. Smiling, he continued, "Alright, then, Diluc,

would you be interested in accompanying me to a place after this?" He asked expectantly, "Although I have to warn you that it is quite a long way-"

 

"Yes." Diluc replied and immediately regretted it, "Did I speak too soon? Sorry- I, I just would have agreed regardless….I mean-" Diluc cringed when he spoke, realising how stupid and embarrassing he sounded, "It's something you suggested….I would have agreed to it anyways…." He ended lamely.

 

Venti blinked at Diluc's flushed face and smiled even more. Cute.

 

He then laughed, "I am thankful that you would have so much trust in me…but it's a really long way and time consuming too, are you up for it?"

 

Diluc nodded confidently, "I am sure I can take it."

 

****

 

Ei and Zhongli walked out of the mall with matching disappointed looks.

 

"So what now?" Ei asked while lifting the sunglasses above her eyes.

 

Zhongli hummed, "We go home?"

 

"Ah….alright…." Ei said.

 

Just then a familiar voice spoke up from behind them, "Good. While you are at it, take these with you too."

 

Ei and Zhongli turned around in surprise but before either could react, a large wriggling sack was tossed at each of them.

 

Lumine dusted her hand and spoke, "Now that everything is taken care of, excuse us."

 

Aether had a hand on his shoulder and was massaging it, "And maybe don't put your phones on dnd next time."

 

Zhongli, "....."

 

Ei, "...."

 

Before anyone could reply to the twins, the two blonde haired outlanders had already turned around and left.

 

The struggling sack in Zhongli's hands finally opened up to reveal a familiar bush of ginger hair at the same time that Ei's revealed a head of bright pink hair.

 

"Jhogbi jhanshen!" Childe exclaimed excitedly despite having a tape tightly bound over his mouth.

 

"Mmm! MMHMGHMMVEIF" This time it was Yae Miko's muffled voice that was speaking, or rather, attempting to speak against the tape on her mouth. She glared at the rope binding her hands and then looked at Ei expectantly.

 

Ei, who was only coming to terms with the bizarre situation in front of her right now, looked at Miko in puzzlement. Miko rolled her eyes and gestured wildly at her bound hands with her eyes.

 

"Oh!" This time Ei finally managed to understand what her fiancée was trying to convey. Setting the other down, she got to work and removed the ropes binding Yae Miko's hands and legs.

 

On the other hand, Zhongli had started by removing the tape on Childe's mouth.

 

"Zhongli xiansheng!!" He exclaimed.

 

Despite himself, Zhongli couldn't help but smile at the younger's enthusiasm, "Childe." He greeted back, "What are you doing here?"

 

"Oh….uh…" Childe sneaked a glance at Yae Miko who was still trying to signal to Ei to remove the tape on her mouth and smiled guiltily at Zhongli, "You see….it's a long story…."

 

Finally, the itchy tape was off Yae Miko's mouth, "Why would you take that long to remove the tape?! You should have started with that?!" The pink haired woman asked in annoyance.

 

Ei looked like she seemed to have had a realisation, "Ah..I didn't think of that…"

 

Yae Miko looked at her in disbelief.

 

****

 

Venti wasn’t joking when he said it was a long way. They had left the city behind them and had already traveled past the Whispering Woods. But Diluc did not feel like complaining or questioning Venti even once. Rather, he enjoyed the company of the older, singing and chattering away throughout their whole trip. Diluc did join in once in a while to speak his own matters or to answer Venti, but mostly he was content with hearing the bard’s voice rather than his own.

 

“Ah, we are here!” Venti exclaimed when they had finally trekked up a path filled with cecilias to the topmost point of Starsnatch cliff. The sun was setting and when Diluc looked at Venti surrounded by the soft orange glow of the dimming sky, he felt his heart skip a beat.

 

Wordlessly, Venti led him to the very edge of the Starsnatch cliff and sat down. Diluc tried his best to not combust at the thought of them sitting so close to each other, their shoulders nearly touching, their knees bumping against each others.

 

“Hm…the view is better at night, but the evening sky is quite a sight too, won’t you agree?” Venti mused as he watched the scenery with bright eyes.

 

Diluc followed his eyes to the sky and inhaled a sharp breath. Oh.

 

The ocean was dyed in a myriad of golden hues being reflected from the glimmer of the setting sun. The whole sky seemed to be dipped in an orange glow, there was a patch of dark sky slowly blending with the warm coloured clouds, welcoming the steady incoming of the dark night sky. A view like this……with all the trees and and the mountains, the lakes and the ocean, all blanketed by several shades of the dusky sun, Diluc knew that he could never have discovered something so beautiful on his own.

 

“Oh..” He whispered, this time loud enough for Venti to hear.

 

Venti gave a light laugh, “I come here often when I am at a loss for inspiration….it’s…a special spot for me..” He avoided looking at Diluc while he said the last part, not aware of the red flush that had occurred on his face.

 

Diluc felt his heart skip several beats and had to actually catch his breath for a moment, “Venti-” he started at the same time that Venti said, “Diluc-”

 

They both paused and looked at each other, Diluc blushed in embarrassment. Again. Venti only burst out laughing, “Please, do go on.”

 

Diluc cleared his throat, “Uh no…you first..”

 

“Alright!” Venti accepted, “So..uh…I am not, huh, I really don’t know what to say…..” Venti realized with a blank look on his face. Diluc raised an eyebrow at him, “Cat got your tongue, bard?” He asked with a smirk.

 

Venti gasped in mock surprise, “That’s probably the most you thing you have said the whole day!”

 

Diluc sputtered, “Wh-what..”

 

Venti, “Hm…you just seemed so unusually nervous today, Master DIluc, this isn’t quite like you. Although,” He looked carefully at Diluc while he said his next words with a smile, “I Find it quite adorable tehee~”

 

“I-that, well….I- I am bad at this…” Diluc admitted and decided well, they were at the end of the day, might as well say it, “I was very awkward…sorry…its just…I-I have never really done this before…at least not with someone I genuinely like….a lot.”

 

His gaze was fixed on the bowtie at Venti’s neck while he spoke, “And…I guess I let the nerves get to me…..because I like you…..I really really like you…Venti…” he ended, with his gaze still fixed on the black and white striped bow tie. Diluc felt like his heart would burst out his chest given how fast it was beating…but at least he did it…now  whatever was Venti’s answer…he would- he would just deal with it….yeah, even if Venti decided that Diluc was not worth his time-

 

Diluc’s train of thought was cut off by a pair of warm hands cradling either side of his face and lifting it up so that his gaze was right on par with a pair of green eyes which shone like jewels in the soft evening light.

 

“Won’t you at least look at me while you say that?” The bard said with a smile. Venti leaned forward and placed his forehead against Diluc’s, “I like you too, Diluc….in fact…I really really really like you….so much that I could write a whole ballad about my fondness for you..” Which he already had apparently when drunk but that is not something he would admit to Diluc right now.

 

Diluc’s eyes widened when he heard Venti’s words, “Oh….” he said for the third time since arriving there. Venti chuckled, “May I kiss you?” 

 

Venti could have sworn that Diluc’s face was nearly as red as his hair while  he nodded, but he did not stop to notice it as he leaned forward with closed eyes and pressed his lips against the younger man’s.

 

Diluc wrapped an arm around Venti’s waist and pulled him closer to himself, deepening their kiss while doing so. He could feel his heart soaring and a myriad of thoughts running through his head. The most significant one being, how did he get so lucky?

 

****

 

Ei sipped on her dango milk while staring at Yae Miko with questioning eyes, “So you came all the way till here…..along with Tartaglia…..just to spy on us spying on Venti and Diluc?”

 

Yae Miko shrugged and pretended to admire her nails.

 

“Miko.”

 

“Fine. Okay….but I was bored…..and- pfft..”

 

“Miko…?”

 

“Sorry sorry….but…” Yae Miko looked at the love of her life in a neon pink scarf and the ridiculously large sunglasses and couldn’t help but burst into another fit of giggles. The thing was….when Miko wore the, coupled with her already bright hair, the scarf didn't stand out much…but on Ei’s dark hair…it just looked…..hilarious was an understatement. 

 

“Babe stay still,” Miko said and whipped out her phone and snapped a picture of Ei before the other could refuse.

 

“What-Miko, who are you sending that to?”

 

“You will see.”

 

Ei heard a ping from her phone (she had turned off dnd after the encounter with the twins) and the first thing she saw was a message from her sister making fun of her attire.

 

Makoto: You might as well have carried a board saying notice me . One of her texts read.

 

Ei looked at Miko in betrayal, “Miko….” she pouted.

 

Yae MIko felt an arrow through her heart on seeing the cute expression on Ei’s face. Dammit, she really knew her weaknesses well. Yae Miko cleared her throat, “Do you want another serving of tri-colored dango?” 

 

Ei’s face lit up, “Yes please!”

 

Yae Miko smiled coyly, “Well, then earn it~” She leaned forward and turned her cheek towards Ei and closed her eyes. When the kiss she was expecting was delayed for longer than expected, she opened her eyes and looked at Ei, “Ei?”

 

And that was when Ei leaned forward and grabbed Miko’s chin, pressing their lips together firmly. Yae Miko was too stunned to react, but Ei boldly leaned forward and  tightened her hold on Miko. There were a few gasps and exclamations from people  around them but Ei didn’t care, the passion in her kiss didn’t waver.

 

When she finally pulled back and placed her finger on her lower lip, her eyes were fixed on Miko, who was still red in the face and reeling from Ei’s abrupt display of affection.

 

“Will that be enough?” Ei asked with a smirk.

 

****

 

“Where do you want to go, Zhongli xiansheng?” Childe asked excitedly while walking next to Zhongli in the crowd.

 

Zhongli hummed, “Hm..I wouldn’t quite know, Childe…how about you suggest a place for us?”

 

Childe was more than happy to oblige, “So is this a date now?” He asked with a smile.

 

Zhongli answered him by reaching out for Childe’s hand and intertwining their fingers, he smiled as he spoke, “You tell me.”

 

Childe could feel his brain and his heart and his everything short circuit because of this simple gesture from his boyfriend. Come to think of it, they never did get to go on a proper date after their first one…only happening to meet every now and then to talk and enjoy each other's company.

 

“Childe?” Worry was evident in Zhongli’s voice as he called out the other man’s name.

 

“Huh? I mean-yes! I would like very much for this to be a date!” Childe declared while blushing furiously.

 

Zhongli smiled again and Childe decided that dear god this was not good for his weak weak heart.

 

“Me too,” Zhongli said, “Would you like to accompany me to Yuijing terrace? The glaze lilies will be in full bloom soon, it’s quite a beautiful sight…I would like to witness it with you.”

 

Childe’s heart swelled up with pure affection for the man next to him, he smiled and replied,“I would love to, Zhongli.”

 

****

 

“Well, everything worked out in the end I suppose.” Aether was still rubbing his aching shoulder as he and Lumine made their way towards the theater. The premiere was happening soon and he’ll be damned if he missed even a second of it.

 

Lumine sipped on her Rainbow aster as she juggled the two buckets of popcorn her brother had dumped on her by giving the excuse of being the ‘weaker’ twin. Bullshit. Lumine had argued. You are just lazy.

 

Ehe. Aether had replied and she had come this close to chucking everything in her hands at him. She didn’t though, after all she still needed his help to bake Ayaka’s cake.

 

“Yeah,” she agreed with his earlier statement, “Look, there’s Jean and Lisa in the front row.”

 

“Dammit. How’d they get so lucky? I wanted front row seats too!” Aether complained and Lumine shrugged, “Be grateful we at least got a seat given how late you made us.”

 

“Hey! It was your idea too!”

 

“Potato. Po-ta-to . Let’s go, it’s starting.”

 

Aether huffed in annoyance but followed his sister nonetheless.

Notes:

I actually dont remember the sunset view from starsnatch cliff very well but i know that the night sky looks wonderful so obviosuly the evening sky must be beautiful too, right??

Lol anyways, I might have to go on a longer break than usual this time since my quarterly exams are coming up soon and I havent even started preparing for them ;-; And I have plans to write a collection of Genshin ships as Classic/Disney fairytales AU and I have an idea of a tale for each ship and plan on starting it whenever my next vacation rolls in (October maybe) but hopefully I dont get side tracked and end up forgetting it...haha.

Oof and like i said earlier, I would love opinions on this so I can decide how to write another Extra chapter if I have to in the future and as always, thanks a lot for reading and commenting, it really boosts my motivation!!

Chapter 13: No bitches?

Summary:

*insert megamind face* no bitches?

Notes:

Suuuup y'alll my tests are over but my exams will be starting in a few weeks so I wanted to post at least one chapter before I disappeared into the void again

Also I have a very bad habit of finishing my chapters late in the night and posting them immediately without beta reading them hehe but dont worry by the time a day or two goes by after this update, it would be beta read and any errors corrected

All that aside, happy reading~!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

        [Adepti Family ヾ(*´ ∇ `)ノ]

 

Guizhong: So was someone going to tell me that Zhongli finally started dating that snezhnayan boy he was smitten with

 

Guizhong: OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND THAT OUT MYSELF FROM MY GIRLFRIEND WHO FOUND OUT FROM HER SISTER WHO IS ALSO ZHONGLI’S FRIEND BUT IS SOMEHOW MORE UPDATED ABOUT HIS LOVELIFE THAN I AM. HIS FRIEND OF MORE.THAN.A.DECADE.

 

Xiao: Zhongli didn’t tell you?

 

Guizhong: NO??? THAT TRAITOR TOLD YOU GUYS???

 

Ganyu: Well to be fair his boyfriend did ask him out on the general chat

 

Ganyu: It was a Teyvat gc so ig u wouldnt know since u dont go to Teyvat academy

 

Guizhong: He could have told me in person or at least through a personal message ;-;

 

Zhongli: Yes I could have. 

 

Zhongli: And I did.

 

Guizhong: No????

 

Zhongli: Guizhong.

 

Guizhong: Bitch why would I lie to you??

 

Yanfei: I just heard Mr. Zhongli let out the most tired sigh ever what happened

 

Zhongli: Yanfei, aren't you supposed to be in a lecture?

 

Yanfei: what who told u that

 

Xiao: U did

 

Ganyu: U told all of us this morning and I quote, “I’d rather kill myslef then listen to another boring lecture of Professor Istaroth.”

 

Ganyu: Why did you even take her subject if it tires you so  much?

 

Yanfei: oh wait i did say that

 

Yanfei: ahhhh how was i supposed to know that study of horology meant sitting for hours together listening to an old woman drone on about the beginnings of teyvat and whatnot

 

Zhongli: Professor Istaroth is a respectable person, Yanfei, please do not slander her like that.

 

Yanfei: gahh okay

 

Zhongli: Now about why you are not in class.

 

Yanfei: Or we could talk about why u didnt tell Guizhong that u are dating Tartaglia

 

Zhongli: I did tell her.

 

Guizhong: WHEN

 

Zhongli: I sent you a selfie I took of me and Tartaglia on our first date and sent a corresponding text message saying that it was our first date.

 

Guizhong: That picture??? Was the two of you on a romantic date??? But you go out to dinners like that every three days or something???

 

Zhongli: I believe I sent a text saying we were on a date.

 

Guizhong: Platonic dates exist, Zhongli. And the two of you go out together so frequently it would have been hard to make out whether you guys were together or not either way

 

Zhongli: Ah I see, then it is a folly on my side, I will make sure to be more specific next time.

 

Guizhong: PLEASE DO

 

Guizhong: now all that aside when are u going to ask out that cute blonde outlander boy @Xiao 

 

Xiao: I don’t know what u are talking abt

 

Guizhong: There's no need for pretense with me Xiao my boy, I already know everything

 

Xiao: How are u so kind and polite while talking irl but become Hu Tao 2.0 while texting 

 

Yanfei: Objection. I will not stand for the slander of my girlfriend.

 

Guizhong: 2.0??? BITCH I AM THE ORIGINAL

 

Ganyu: So then is Hu Tao Guizhong 2.0?

 

Yanfei: Actually after hearing that I am scared of letting them meet now

 

Guizhong: No I want to meet her

 

Guizhong: She is Zhongli’s third hypothetical child right i should be allowed to meet her, it is my right as her hypothetical aunt

 

Guizhong: OH WAIT SO YANFEI IS ZHONGLI’S HYPOTHETICAL DAUGHTER IN LAW UR FATHER WOULD BE PROUD YANFEI

 

Yanfei: UHHHH I THINK U ARE THINKING TOO FAR GUIZHONG HU TAO AND I STARTED DATING ONLY RECENTLY

 

Ganyu: Should we make a hypothetical family gc for zhongli, childe and hu tao @Xiao 

 

Xiao: we can leave childe out

 

Ganyu: That won’t do then who will be our second parent?

 

Xiao: We dont need one

 

Ganyu: Who hurt you

 

Xiao: Our father by deciding to date that damn ginger loser

 

Zhongli: Language, Xiao. I understand you are not very fond of Childe, but he is the person I love so I would still ask you to at least not call him rude names.

 

Zhongli: A hypothetical family group chat sounds like a great idea, Ganyu. I am sure Hu Tao and Childe would be delighted to join too.

 

Xiao: UGH 

 

Xiao: i cant deal with this i am going offline bye

 

Guizhong: Smh kids and their emo phases these days

 

Zhongli: I just don’t understand why Xiao seems to despise Childe so much now. The other day I saw him ready to defend Childe’s honour. What changed?

 

Guizhong: He has looked up to you since we were kids. He’s just very over protective of you. Don’t think too much about it, Zhongli, I am sure he will come around eventually

 

Zhongli: Thank you Guizhong. I do hope he does.

 

Guizhong: He will, I am sure of it.




[Inazuman Comrades]

 

Aether: So what do yall think of Shikanoin Heizou?

 

Kujou Sara: No one likes him

 

Kazuha: He’s a good friend!

 

Gorou: Kazuha says tht about everyone his opinion is invalid

 

Kuki Shinobu: Heizou is annoying

 

Kokomi: I have met him only once he was pretty nice

 

Thoma: Heizou…..is a character i’d like to say

 

Lumine: Damn even Thoma what did he even do to yall 

 

Kazuha: He’s just misunderstood

 

Thoma: Nothing! Just….he has a peculiar way of making conversation I think 

 

Aether: We were thinking of adding him here if thats okay with yall

 

Kazuha: Yes!

 

Kokomi: Sure go ahead



Lumine added Heizou to [Inazuman Comrades]

 

Kujou Sara: Dont add Shikanoin he’ll only be a nuisance

 

Gorou: I agree with her for once he’s very nosy and makes people uncomfortable

 

Thoma: I dont think we shld be that harsh on someone even if we dont like them

 

Heizou: What a warm welcome! Can't say I didn't expect it!

 

Kujou Sara: …

 

Gorou: …

 

Thoma: …

 

Thoma: …its not what it looks like

 

Heizou: oh dont worry i already know all about it 

 

Thoma: Ahaha I see…okay I have something important to do see u guys later bye

 

Aether: The whole chat

 

Aether: The whole chat went offline

 

Heizou: Nothing new

 

Kazuha: I am still here

 

Lumine: You are an angel Kazuha do u know that

 

Kazuha: I wouldnt go that far but thank u anyways

 

Kazuha: welcome to the chat @Heizou 

 

Heizou: Lumine is right, u really are angel Kazuha, thanks for the welcome 



[Private message]

 

Lumine: Buddy. 

 

Lumine: Do you have any friends at all?

 

Heizou: Kazuha is my friend

 

Lumine: Kazuha is everyone’s friend by default so he doesnt count

 

Heizou: …

 

Heizou: Okay fine so some ppl find me unsettling and my methods of investigation unconventional so what I dont care as long as i can do my work in peace

 

Lumine: do all criminology majors think like that or is it just u

 

Heizou: Point is I am fine having you, aether and kazuha as my only friends i dont care abt the others

 

Lumine: Heizou, buddy

 

Lumine: u shld meet venti i think yall will get along

 

Lumine: and xiao idek why but u shld

 

Heizou: I appreciate u trying to get me more friends Lumine but I am fine really

 

Lumine: Is that a no to the drinking party we are having tonight

 

Heizou: Yeah not a fan of alcohol

 

Lumine: Kazuha will be joining

 

Heizou: sigh

 

Heizou: I will think about it

 

Lumine: YES

 

Heizou: I didn’t agree yet

 

Lumine: You will soon I know it I can feel it in my bones



[Inazuman Comrades]

 

Kokomi: Oh sorry I didn't mean to be rude I had something come up so couldnt look at the chat

 

Kokomi: Nice to meet u, Shikanoin, I am Sanganomiya Kokomi of Watatsumi island

 

Heizou: Same! And I have heard of you, Kujou’s girlfriend right?

 

Kokomi: Yes that's me!

 

Heizou: Okay so I need to tell you about this one time Kujou Sara got a text from you and was so flustered that she ended up tripping on thin air and fell face first onto the cold hard ground

 

Kokomi: Oh my god when did this happen?

 

Heizou: a few months ago, I didn't see it but being the genius detective I am, I figured out the situation when she walked into the morning class with a bleeding nose but a very satisfied smile on her face 

 

Kokomi: Wow you sound smart

 

Kujou Sara: SHIKANOIN HEIZOU

 

Heizou: Well speak of the devil I must now leave urgently to investigate clues to a certain case before rain washes them away

 

Lumine: lmao gg 

 

Kokomi: He seems like a nice guy. Why does no one like him?

 

Kujou Sara: Heizou is quite smart but I am afraid I could only ever get along with him as a colleague and not a friend

 

Thoma: Exactly. And I am too dumb, I doubt someone as intelligent as him would have time to listen to me ramble on about kitchenware and whatnot haha

 

Kuki Shinobu: Heizou has a talent of guessing what’s on people’s minds, he’s correct more than half of the time. That’s what makes him unsettling in my eyes

 

Lumine: Perks of being a part time private investigator ig, ngl sounds pretty useful in investigations

 

Kujou Sara: It is

 

Aether: How are you so sure of that?

 

Kujou Sara: Shikanoin and I are both training to join the Inazuman police force after university. We have a few classes together here and at the training center 

 

Lumine: How are u guys juggling that AND university courses  at the same time it sounds tough

 

Kujou Sara: Not really I enjoy doing it

 

Aether: yeah these are the type of ppl that scare me

 

Kokomi: Dont worry, you shouldnt be scared of Sara unless you are a criminal which I am sure you are not

 

Kokomi: You aren’t right

 

Lumine: Not at the moment

 

Kujou Sara: And what is that supposed to mean.

 

Aether: Heyyy Lumi did u feed the fish yet its time already oh no we didn’t feed Paimon too she should be hungry lets go!

 

Lumine: Riiiiggghhht we were supposed to do that let’s go let’s go

 

Itto: Istg those two are the most sus ppl I have ever seen

 

Ayato: Right? Especially Lumine. I dont like her at all

 

Yae Miko: Are you sure that’s not just because she is dating your sister, little one?

 

Ayato: Oh no not at all I don't mind that all! Really I am quite alright with it, even though I know Ayaka deserves much better and think about poisoning Lumine everyday

 

Thoma: Yes I deal with this shit on a daily basis

 

Ayaka: Big Brother you made Thoma curse

 

Ayato: Thoma is a grown adult capable of making his own choices. How is him cursing my fault??

 

Thoma: My lady, my lord, please calm down I dont understand why the two of you are bickering so much theses days

 

Ayaka: Oh no, did we make you worry Thoma? I am so sorry we will behave better from now on

 

Ayato: You have been working hard Thoma, why don’t you take a day off tomorrow and join me and Ayaka on a fun outing?

 

Thoma: There’s no need for u to go that far my lord I enjoy housekeeping so I dont mind really

 

Ayato: And I enjoy your company so won’t you join us for the sake of that at least?

 

Thoma: Oh

 

Thoma: I mean

 

Thoma: Haha sure yeah cool let’s go out why not 

 

Ayaka: Lets go to the amusement park, Lumine and I were planning on going on a date there, you two can join us too

 

Ayato: Why is Lumine coming

 

Ayaka: Because I love my girlfriend



[Private message]

 

Ayaka: I am giving u an opening, take it!

 

Ayato: But I dont want it to be at the cost of you going on a date with Lumine

 

Ayaka: That’s my reward actually but thats not the point SAY U WILL GO OR I WILL THROW OUT YOUR BOBA STASH

 

Ayato:WHY ARE YOU THREATENING ME WITH THAT I WASN’T PLANNING ON REFUSING IN THE FIRST PLACE

 

Ayaka: Oh you weren't?

 

Ayato: I wasn’t

 

Ayato: It has been a long time since Thoma and I got to spend time alone together

 

Ayato: I don’t know when I will confess my feelings to him or how I will do it but all I know for now is that I love every minute that I spend with him so even if you asked me, I wouldn’t refuse any opportunity to be in Thoma’s presence

 

Ayaka: Ayato….I hope you know that you two deserve each other

 

Ayato: Well

 

Ayato: Only time will tell




Notes:

How are you guys liking Sumeru so far? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Besides the fact that the archon quest was very interesting, the terrain of Sumeru, the new animals, DENDRO ELEMENT, new exploration material everything is just so fun and amazing adksjgd and THE MUSIC AHH WHEN I TELL U IT FEELS LIKE HOME. Genshin impact really never disappoints when it comes to new areas and new music and new story lines I am having so much fun doing the new events too and ahhh I cant wait to have a pet seelie.

That aside, did u guys get the characters yall were pulling for?? I had to skip the first phase banners since my pity is high and I really want Ganyu TT but its a 50/50 and my shitty luck made me lose my previous two 50/50s TT Hopefully it will be different this time ooof

Anyways, all the best on your pulls!! Hoping you guys get the characters you want!!!

Chapter Text

[Private message]

 

Ningguang: Beidou

 

Beidou: yes babe?

 

Ningguang: I have reasons to believe that our son 

 

Ningguang: Has a crush

 

Beidou: Oh my god my boy is growing up

 

Beidou: Who is it who is it

 

Ningguang: I was unfortunately not able to find that out

 

Nigguang: But no worries I am going to hire a well known detective to find out about it for us

 

Beidou: Uh Ning wait calm down isn't that a bit too much

 

Ningguang: I just want to make sure it's not anyone dangerous I won't do anything out of the line don't worry

 

Beidou: why dont we just ask him

 

Ningguang: That won't work beidou imagine how awkward it would be talking to your parents about your crush

 

Beidou: Okay that makes sense but isn't hiring someone to spy on him a bit over the top

 

Ningguang: No one is going to spy on anyone, the detective will only have to figure out his crush that is all

 

Beidou: Yeah you won't listen to me will you

 

Ningguang: <3

 

Beidou: At least tell me who you are hiring

 

Ningguang: Oh you know 

 

Ningguang: That Inazuman boy

 

Ningguang: Shikanoin Heizou



[Private message]

 

Heizou: How do you get a rich Liyuen lesbian to stop pestering you about following her self proclaimed son, who also happens to be your friend,  around to figure out who he is in love with

 

Lumine: What sorta life are you living bro

 

Heizou: I LITERALLY TOLD HER NO SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE KAZUHA IS MY FRIEND BUT SHE WON'T LISTEN

 

Lumine: Oh its Ningguang 

 

Lumine: lmao atb she's the most stubborn woman I have ever seen

 

Lumine: So how much did she offer you

 

Heizou: I don't know and I don't care just tell me how to throw her off my trail

 

Heizou: Everytime I block her on one chat she contacts me through another

 

Lumine: Ye she's rich af

 

Lumine: What does she want you to do?

 

Heizou: Find out who Kazuha likes 

 

Heizou: I didn't even know Kazuha had someone he liked

 

Lumine: You sound disappointed

 

Heizou: No I don't

 

Lumine: Hmm

 

Lumine: Tell u what

 

Lumine: Accept it

 

Heizou: Excuse me?

 

Lumine: It's just to find out Kazuha's crush right

 

Heizou: And to judge whether or not this the said person  is I quote, "Dangerous, shady or in any way a threat to Kazuha"

 

Heizou: I am hundred percent sure Kazuha can take care of any threats by himself this is literally so unnecessary 

 

Lumine: all the more reason to accept it

 

Lumine: she just asked you to judge the character of the person, not to reveal their identity

 

Lumine: Which means you will not be revealing Kazuha's secret but only whether or not the one he likes is a good person

 

Heizou: It still means I have to pry into his personal life

 

Lumine: Or you just happened to find out about it in passing because you two are good friends

 

Heizou: …..

 

Lumine: Heizou

 

Lumine: Look me in the eye and tell me you don't want to know who Kazuha is in love with

 

Heizou: Love is a strong word don't you think

 

Lumine: I wouldn't know that's for you to figure out

 

Heizou: Sigh

 

Heizou: Do you think she will accept my terms of not revealing the concerned party's identity to her?

 

Lumine: Ningguang is a reasonable woman, I am sure she will



[Private message]

 

Heizou: I’ll accept your commission but I have certain conditions

 

Ningguang: Speak

 

Heizou: (1) Before your hired private investigator, I am Kazuha’s friend so I will not be prying into his personal life to find out his secret

 

Ningguang: Well of course I am aware that you are smart enough to figure it out without nosing into Kazuha’s private life

 

Ningguang: That's why I hired you

 

Heizou: Flattering but anyway

 

Heizou: (2) You only asked me to be a judge of character so upon finding about this person I will only tell you whether they are a threat or not. I WILL not reveal their identity to u

 

Ningguang: Sounds fair enough

 

Ningguang: I just want what's best for Kazuha nothing more

 

Heizou: Alright then this officially seals our agreement



Lumine created [New Groupchat]

 

Lumine added Aether, Heizou, Kazuha, Xiao and Venti to [New Groupchat]

 

Lumine changed [New Groupchat] to [5wirl]

 

Lumine: This was Venti's idea not mine so if y'all wanna chase someone down with pitchforks it's him not me

 

Lumine: Also I am staying because drama

 

Aether: All of them are too drunk to even realize it

 

Venti: Hoooooooossssssssssss druunklkjo noy meeeee

 

Xiao: Not another one

 

Lumine: lmao Xiao never drinks i forgot

 

Lumine: Why tho I’ve been meaning to ask

 

Aether: Is it because you are a lightweight??

 

Xiao: ….

 

Xiao: I don’t need to answer any of your questions

 

Lumine: Tch

 

Lumine: Emo

 

Xiao: ….

 

Venti: WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINhkjhui

 

Aether: You had enough Venti

 

Venti: nmooooooooooooooiopu 

 

Lumine: It’s no use he’s wasted 

 

Xiao: I don't suppose I will be able to leave this group chat either

 

Aether: Hehe Nope

 

Lumine: You are welcome to try tho

 

Xiao: I’d rather save my energy for driving you all back home

 

Lumine: As you should

 

Aether: As you should

 

Venti: SD tyshkdf d 

 

Aether: Yeah Imma call Diluc to pick u up



[Private message]

 

Lumine: So….. ?

 

Heizou: Okay fine they were nice it was nice

 

Lumine: Mhm and what, exactly, was nice?

 

Heizou: ……drinking with new people

 

Heizou: ……making friends

 

Heizou: It was cool

 

Lumine: Ayyy it worked

 

Lumine: Now tell me what u think of each of them

 

Heizou: Venti is the oldest one here and he looks and acts very cheerful but is actually very depressed deep down, my intuition tells me it's because he lost someone very close to him at a young age. He drinks alcohol as a means of escapism, shows signs of imposter syndrome. Overall a very nice guy, maybe should start giving himself a little more credit rather than just hating on himself.

 

Lumine: ……I meant what you think of them…..not a whole analysis of their personalities

 

Heizou: Ohhhhh you mean whether I have something positive to say about them?

 

Lumine: Bro….

 

Lumine: Nvm did you enjoy it?

 

Heizou: Oh yeah! Man alive, that was the most fun I have had in ages!

 

Lumine: That's good to know, we will be having get togethers like this more often so don't miss out

 

Heizou: Uhhh I'll see

 

Lumine: Say you will join us

 

Heizou: I can't guarantee it

 

Lumine: You don't want me to send Kazuha to pick u up everytime do you now

 

Heizou: Actually

 

Heizou: That doesn't sound so bad

 

Lumine: Huh I was only kidding but ooohkay ig

 

Heizou: Another thing

 

Heizou: There is something going on between your brother and that emo Liyuen, isn’t there?

 

Lumine: Lmfaooo not you calling Xiao an Emo too

 

Heizou: Look usually I can make out stuff easily whether they are dating or not but these give out such mixed signals that even I, great detective Shikanoin Heizou, am left confused

 

Lumine: Is it because Xiao was glaring daggers at everyone but immediately softened once Aether showed up

 

Heizou: Yeah but then they sat so far away from each other, and kept sneaking glances at each other the whole time

 

Lumine: But they wouldn’t talk

 

Heizou: But they wouldn't talk! Exactly!

 

Heizou: And then you have Aether getting drunk and literally leaning his whole weight on Xiao who doesn’t look bothered in the least

 

Lumine: But then he immediately pushed Aether away once someone pointed it out

 

Heizou: And very  gently too, not to mention he made him lean against you instead as comfortably as possible 

 

Lumine: Yeah that’s Xiao for you

 

Lumine: Wait you noticed all this while drunk

 

Heizou: You’d be surprised to know I am actually a heavy weight

 

Heizou: And another thing-

 

Heizou: I swear I saw him leaning towards Aether and whispering something in his his ear

 

Lumine: Huh when did that happen

 

Heizou: Y'all fell asleep in the car, including Aether, that’s when he leaned over and whispered something, I didn't hear what tho, cause you know, invasion of privacy and all

 

Lumine: Oh my god if Aether heard about this he would combust

 

Heizou: So you are not gonna tell him?

 

Lumine: What sort of a supportive sister would I be if I didn’t tell him of course I will tell him first thing he wakes up tomorrow

 

Heizou: Wait did you drink at all

 

Lumine: Yeah but I can handle more glasses than my brother soo

 

Lumine: Will have a terrible hangover tomorrow though

 

Heizou: Get some rest buddy

 

Lumine: Yeah yeah and you too 



[Private message]

 

Ayaka: I can't help but feel that Lumine is avoiding me

 

Ayato: Good

Ayato: Ahem, I mean you two are going on a date tomorrow aren't you? Why don't you ask her then

 

Ayaka: It's a double date Ayato. You and Thoma are coming along too

 

Ayato: That doesn't change anything

 

Ayaka: I know, I am just reminding you to not chicken out at the last moment

 

Ayato: I would never

 

Ayaka: Now that's the big brother I know

 

Ayaka: You know the consequences if you chicken out

 

Ayato: You weren't serious about that

 

Ayaka: Who knows, maybe I was, maybe I wasn't

Cyno: Alright alright I get it

 

Cyno: In light of your recent help towards the smuggling case I was investigating I'll overlook the fact that you had in fact typed Dori, instead of Dore

 

Lumine: Thanks Cyno my man you're the best

 

Cyno: You still however have to answer a question of mine

 

Aether: Uh sure go on

 

Cyno: Why shouldn't you trust atoms

 

Lumine: What

 

Tighnari: Oh lord of dendro not this again

 

Aether: …..why?

 

Cyno: Because they make up everything!

 

Cyno: Get it??? Because atoms are the primary unit of all things, so they literally make up everything??? Because everything is made of atoms?? And saying you shouldn't trust them because they make up everything is actually a play on the words and

 

Cyno: This is Tighnari, I have seized Cyno's phone for the time being no need to thank me 

 

Aether: You are doing God's work

 

Aether: Please don't tell cyno I said that 

 

Tighnari: Wasn't planning on

 

Dehya: Lmfao you are literally the only one who can keep him in check

 

Lumine: It's called ✨️boyfriend privileges✨️

 

Tighnari: What

 

Tighnari: Cyno and I aren't together

 

Aether: Dafuq

 

Dehya: Nah they be trolling we been knew

 

Paimon: Almost got Paimon there!

 

Tighnari: It's the truth

 

Kaveh: Yeah I don't know what goes on or what this gc is for or who the fuck some of u are but Tighnari and Cyno not being a thing has got to be the biggest fucking lie I have ever heard

 

Alhaitham: Language Kaveh

 

Kaveh: Fuck you Alhaitham

 

Alhaitham: Maybe later

 

Tighnari: THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE YOU BIG LUMMOXES

 

Dehya: Tf is a lummox

 

Cyno: It's one of Tighnari's favourite words to insult people with 

 

Cyno: it just means u are an idiot btw

 

Dehya: How do u know that

 

Dehya: Yall living together or smth

 

Collei: Yeah we all live together

 

Dehya: ??? When did yall adopt a kid

 

Tighnari: a long while ago

 

Cyno: Long before Collei joined highschool actually

 

Nilou: So you ARE together

 

Tighnari: ???? No?? Why would u assume that?

 

Nilou: Well because you have adopted a kid together??

 

Tighari: Well she was Cyno's ward earlier but knowing him he probably wouldn't have been able to do it on his own so I decided to co parent Collei with him

 

Cyno: And so we made it legal to have joint custody of Collei

 

Aether: Why do I feel like y'all are gonna next say that you are married too

 

Tignari: Ah no that would be Kaveh and Alhaitham 

 

Lumine: TFFFF?????

 

Dehya: THE FUCKING WHAT NOW

 

Kaveh: WAIT WTF HOW DO U KNOW THAT

 

Tighnari: You called me to be the witness

 

Alhaitham: ….

 

Rukkahadevata: Oh cool you have my blessings children

 

Collei: ….congratulations?

 

Alhaitham: Please don't congratulate us we were drunk and it was the biggest mistake of my life

 

Nilou: I thought you guys hated each other?

 

Kaveh: WE DO 

 

Alhaitham: I would rather be married to a tree than him 

 

Aether: Why didn't u guys just annull it?

 

Kaveh: WE WANTED TO

 

Kaveh: Fuck I even suggested to him right away

 

Alhaitham: I said our reputation would be tarnished if word got out so it would be best to just forget about it and pretend it never happened

 

Dehya: So what about annullling it now since everyone knows

 

Lumine: Or you could just trust us and let it be

 

Lumine: since none of us are, you know, snitches?

 

Aether: Not to mention there's barely like twenty people here so

 

Alhaitham: So long as it's never brought up again ugh 

 

Kaveh: It should literally be me saying that I can't believe I am stuck being legally married to YOU of all people

 

Alhaitham: You mean the guy who gave you a place to stay after you got kicked out of yours?? Yes you are very much welcome Kaveh

 

Kaveh: I DIDNT ASK YOU TO AND I STILL PAY HALF THE RENT

 

Alhaitham: It's my house you are supposed to pay FULL rent, TO ME

 

Alhaitham: But given your drinking habits that probably won't be happening anytime soon

 

Kaveh: Don't bring my drinking into this you asshole

 

Alhaitham: Why? Don't want to flaunt your alcoholism now is it? Oh and a gentle reminder that I also pay for those drinks for yours that you chug down like water

 

Lumine: Hm….now who does this remind me of

 

Aether: I think they definitely have a better relationship than whatever these two got going

 

Lumine: Yeah Diluc would literally personally mix and serve the drinks if Venti asked 

 

Aether: Ikr

 

Dehya: Wait wait so Kaveh and Alhaitham (1) live together (2) are legally married (3) hate each other but for some damn reason Alhaitham also pays for Kaveh's drinks????

 

Dehya: Nahhh cause y'all clearly have some issues you need to work on

 

Kaveh: HE stole my heating apparatus to COOK FOOD

 

Kaveh: LIKE LITERALLY!!! IMAGINE USING EXPENSIVE LABORATORY EQUIPMENT FOR COOKING??

 

Alhaitham: I literally got you another one why are you still complaining

 

Kaveh: BECAUSE WHICH IDIOT SEES A BUNSEN BURNER AND GOES AH YES PERFECT FOR MY GRILLED CHICKEN

 

Aether: Alhaitham apparently 

 

Rukkhadevata: Okay okay now let's all calm down children

 

Lumine: Stop talking like an old woman oh my god 😭

 

Rukkhadevata: Never

 

Candace: If I may say something that is not about whatever messed up stuff the eccentric scholars have got going

 

Rukkhadevata: Go ahead Candace

 

Candace: Cyno and Tighnari (1) get along very well (2) adopted a kid together(voluntarily) (3) live together (also voluntarily) (4) from what I have seen clearly trust the other with their life 

 

Candace: (5) Tighnari is the only one Cyno listens to (6) Cyno randomly showed up with a kid one day and Tighnari's only reaction was ah yes this is now our daughter and we will raise her together like one big happy family

 

Candace: And you guys are still not together?? 

 

Tighnari: Well when you put it like that

 

Cyno: It's complicated 

 

Collei: It really isn't 

 

Tighnari: Collei?

 

Collei: The two of you just make it seem more complicated than it is

 

Tighnari: What do you mean

 

Collei: ….

 

Collei: Sorry you will just have to figure it out on your own I need to go check Cuilein Anbar now bye bye

 

Tighnari: Huh

 

Cyno: Collei don't forget to be home before six it's quite dangerous around the forest after dark

 

Collei: I am literally a forest ranger in training dad

 

Collei: MASTER CYNO*******

 

Collei: I MEANT MASTER CYNO****** I AM SO SORRY MY KEYBOARD JUST AUTO CORRECTED THAT

 

Cyno: It's alright Collei I wouldn't mind it even if it wasn't a mistake

 

Alhaitham: Cyno of all people can actually sound that polite?

 

Cyno: For the sake of Collei I am gonna hold myself back from saying anything to you at all

 

Cyno: Come home safe Collei

 

Collei: YES MASTER CYNO

 

Cyno: You don't have to call me Master Cyno even over text, Collei 

 

Cyno: Actually I already told you not to call me that at all

 

Tighnari: Cyno is right, before being your teachers, we are your guardians 

 

Collei: I knowww but it just feels disrespectful to call you by your names especially now that I am older and know better

 

Tighnari: Take your time, there's no hurry, we'll wait

 

Cyno: Yes, I agree with Tighnari. You should go at your own pace, what matters most is your comfort

 

Collei: Thank you dads

 

Collei: MASTER CYNO AND MASTER TIGHNARI***************

 

Collei: I AM SO SORRY I DONT KNOW WHY I KEEP DOING THAT

 

Tighnari: Haha no need to apologise we don't mind

 

Cyno: Yeah we were aparent about it after all

 

Tighnari: Cyno.

 

Cyno: What? That was funny! Let me explain

 

Tighnari: please don't 

 

Collei: It WAS funny but you don't have to explain it Master Cyno

 

Cyno: Well as long as it made you laugh

 

Collei: It did, thank you 

 

Lumine: You guys make a lovely family I hope you know that

 

Cyno: Yes I am aware

 

Cyno: I am very proud of them

 

Tighnari: Look at you acting all sentimental

 

Cyno: You two mean a lot to me, why won't I?

 

Tighnari: Cyno…

 

Layla: UM UM SO SORRY TO INTERRUPT THIS WHOLESOME FAMILY MOMENT BUT SOME IDIOT BROKE INTO THE GREENHOUSE AND NOW EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE IF ANY OF YOU GUYS HAD SOMETHING IMPORTANT THERE BETTER HURRY UP BEFORE IT GETS BURNT TO ASHES 

 

Tighnari: WAIT MY RESEARCH NOTES ON MUSHROOMS ARE THERE

 

Cyno: We can still save them if we hurry

 

Lumine: Nice can't wait to introduce y'all to the Teyvat gc




Notes:

So I lost my 5050 on Ganyu's banner to Jean at 75 buuuut Ganyu came home in 35 pulls so win win! Hah but also because this game hates me despite all the time I spend on it I lost my 5050 on Cyno's banner to Diluc at 78 which sucks because I really wanted Cyno for a long long time but oh well what's done is done I will just make sure to get him at any cost on his next rerun!

Anyway, the Desert region is LIT like brooo the OST?????? The new enemies???? All those beautiful ruins??? And the new Archon Quest OMG Amdhjdkjed in short, this version is amazing!!! I love everything!!! What abt y'all??? Are you enjoying the new region and quests??? And how did your pulls go??

P.S. Managed to get c3 Candace hehehehe I just love her so much she can have my life my soul and my everything

Chapter 15: Ohana means family

Summary:

And remember folks, families come in all shapes and sizes

Notes:

I know I said somewhere in the earlier notes that this chatfic doesn't have a set plot whatsoever but I think I am slowly getting there, I have notes and dialogue ideas and everything so progress!

On another note, my exams were supposed to get over today but fate likes toying with me so my last exam got postponed to nearly a week after TT Which means another week of endless stress for me TT But obviously I won't start right away and will take my time to get check up and finish the current events and spiral abyss for the version heheee.

(As usual, the chapter's not yet beta read but will be in a day or two!)

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

 

[Sumeru Losers]

 

Nilou: Did you guys manage to save ur stuff from the greenhouse??

 

Cyno: Not all but at least whatever we can

 

Cyno: Tighnari is having a crisis over losing half his research notes excuse me while I go comfort him

 

Dehya: And the source of the fire?

 

Lumine: I think I know who it was

 

Aether: Poor kid can't catch a break

 

Dehya: Who're yall talking abt?

 

Layla: I found the guy who caused the fire and man I feel so bad for him he looked like he was about to cry

 

Nilou: Who was it?

 

Paimon: Is it who Paimon thinks it is??

 

Aether: It is

 

Paimon: Poor Benny 

 

Dehya: Benny?

 

Lumine: Bennett

 

Lumine: He's a friend from Mondstadt 

 

Lumine: Got the shittiest luck known to mankind but a heart of gold so pls don't be mad at him for the greenhouse incident 

 

Aether: Yeah he's the nicest kid you'll ever meet but finds himself in bad situations like this every now and then

 

Rukkhadevata: Oh poor boy, anything we can do for him?

 

Lumine: Be nice to him 

 

Aether: He's had to deal with some pretty shitty ppl in the past because of his luck so yea that'd help 

 

Nilou: Aw I feel bad for him 

 

Lumine: Issokay he has better friends now so dw

 

Aether: Which reminds me



Aether added Alhaitham, Candace, Collei, Cyno, Dehya and Others to [Teyvat Gays]



Lumine: Everybody welcome the Sumeru cast

 

Yoimiya: WELCOME NEW PEOPLE

 

Diluc: More victims 

 

Venti: Quick question are any of yall short and have an anemo vision our college band is recruiting

 

Zhongli: Ah I see a few familiar names

 

Lisa: So do I!

 

Lisa: Hello Collei dear, how are you doing? 

 

Collei: Hi Miss Lisa!! I am doing great thanks a lot for your help as always!!

 

Lisa: Aw it was nothing darling 

 

Jean: Oh it's Collei, how's life in Sumeru? I heard you started attending highschool recently

 

Collei: Hello Master Jean, it's going great for me! How's everyone back at Mondstadt?

 

Jean: They're doing well too! I am happy to know you are getting well in Sumeru!

 

Collei: Me too!!

 

Lisa: @Cyno heard u graduated from the Akademiya congrats on surviving that place

 

Cyno: Thank you Lisa although no one can match up to you in terms of academics given you graduated earlier than me

 

Amber: Wait, Lisa is already a graduate??

 

Amber: Also COLLEIII HOW ARE YOU I MISS YOU SO MUCHH !!!

 

Cyno: She was the youngest alumnus ever at the Akademiya

 

Collei: AMBER!!! I MISSED U TOO!!! 

 

Lisa: Oh my you flatter me Cyno

 

Lumine: Wait so if u are already a graduate why did u come back here 

 

Lisa: Oh well I was a bit bored so I thought might as well go for another PhD

 

Lisa: Plus Jean was here <33

 

Luminr: Imagine studying because u are bored

 

Aether: Wait I am confused so when did ur highschool time with Jean happen

 

Lisa: Oh didn't Diluc mention? I was there as an exchange student from the Akademiya

 

Aether: Holy shit so u were already in uni while the others were in highschool even tho yall are the same age????

 

Lisa: Hmm well you can say that~

 

Kaeya: Lisa is a genius so it's really not a surprise tbh

 

Kaeya: Oh hey Collei

 

Collei: Fuck you

 

Kaeya: I see we are still not over that little incident ahaha I don't blame you it was totally my fault 

 

Collei: At least you know that

 

Tighnari: Who the fuck taught Collei to curse

 

Tighnari: Oh

 

Cyno: Collei you are not allowed to curse again and Tighnari LANGUAGE in front of the kid at least

 

Tighnari: Sorry will watch my mouth next time

 

Collei: Sorry I won't do it again

 

Cyno: Good that you know it

 

Kazuha: What an interesting dynamic 

 

Kazuha: Are you guys a family?

 

Collei: In a way. Master Cyno and Master Tighnari adopted me when I was young and are now my dads

 

Collei: NO WAIT I MEANT GUARDIANS***** OH GOD

 

Collei: GUARDIANS**** WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS

 

Yoimiya: But aren't they ur dads anyways if they adopted you

 

Collei: Well yes

 

Collei: Wait no I mean

 

Collei: Uh

 

Collei: Um

 

Tighnari: We never had this conversation with Collei, so I understand she'd be confused

 

Cyno: Collei you don't have to worry about how you address us, you know we care about you regardless right? 

 

Collei: I know it's just

 

Collei: Uhh I think we better talk about this some other time

 

Tighnari: Maybe in person?

 

Collei: Yeah

 

Cyno: Alright

 

Cyno: Now, why shouldn't you trust Stairs?

 

Tighnari: Cyno.

 

Collei: Um why?

 

Cyno: Because they are always up to something!!! Get it??? Because a staircase can take you upstairs so they are always leading upwards, which can be said as they are up to something which also means that they are suspicious. Isn't it so funny? 

 

Xiao: wtf that was the lamest joke I ever heard

 

Itto: BWHAHAHAHHAAA WAIT THAT WAS ACTUALLY FUNNY

 

Albedo: I found it pretty amusing too

 

Cyno: Wait really? I have more if u wanna listen

 

Aether: Not here please god not here 

 

Lumine: Hey uh Cyno my man why don't u save the rest for later, eh?

 

Cyno: Sure 

 

Cyno: I wanted to tell you a joke about clocks but I suppose it's about time 

 

Itto: WAAAIT I GOT THAT ONE LMAFOOO THAT WAS ACTUALLY FUNNY @Yoimiya LOOK

 

Kuki Shinobu: I can't believe u got that joke

 

Itto: Hey what's that supposed to mean

 

Yoimiya: LOL ABOUT TIME??? That was genius

 

Tighnari: Oh my god ppl who like Cyno's jokes actually exist

 

Collei: I like Master Cyno's jokes

 

Tighnari: You don't count Collei 

 

Cyno: My jokes are quite punny if I do say so myself

 

Xingqiu: AN excellent play on words! Do you have more?

 

Cyno: Have an ajilenakh nut, and I'll ca-shew later.

 

Xingqiu: Oh that was a good one

 

Itto: Wait I didn't get it this time

 

Cyno: Let me explain

 

Tighnari: Cyno I am locking you out of the house if you continue

 

Cyno: Ruffled your fur, did I?

 

Tighnari: I am gonna skin you

 

Cyno: Okay I'll stop

 

Alhaitham: Coward

 

Tighnari: Stfu or u will be next

 

Alhaitham: 

 

Lumine: The man was too stunned to speak 

 

Aether: lmao deserve

 

Thoma: Oh wow new people! 

 

Thoma: Nice to meet you guys! I am Thoma from the Kamisato Estate!

 

Candace: Hello, I am Candace from Aaru village

Ei: Again?

 

Scaramouche: ??? I literally took Biology this year???

 

Ei: Oh wait, then which one did you fail last year?

 

Kaveh: Architecture

 

Kaveh: I know because we were in the same class

Yae Miko: Something goes wrong with ur son and u immediately assume it's me <//3

 

Yae Miko: But yea I enabled swear word censor on his phone using mine hehe <33

 

Lumine: Yae Miko the girl boss we all need so true

 

Ei: How did you do that??

 

Yae Miko: With the help of our dear traveler twins who hacked into his system and installed a parental control app for me

 

Aether: She paid us so

 

Nilou: Families…..really do come in all shapes and sizes

 

Lumine: You'd be surprised 

 

Nilou: Actually is this the general chat? Who do we have here exactly?

 

Aether: Well it was supposed to be

 

Lumine: But we uh got a little carried away

 

Aether: So we have students from everywhere with a bunch of highschoolers and maybe a professor

 

Yoimiya: Professor??? Who????

 

Yoimiya: Wait we have highschoolers too 

 

Xiangling: Ooh it's me!! Me, Xingqiu and Chongyun all go to the same highschool!! 

 

Xiangling: Xinyan and Hu Tao used to go with us but they are older than us so they graduated a year ago 

 

Bennett: Me, Fischl and Razor go to the same highschool!!

 

Bennett: Barbara and Noelle too!!

 

Lumine: We don't have highschoolers from Inazuma I just realised

 

Aether: Yeah same

 

Collei: Am I the only one from Sumeru?

 

Aether: It seems like it for now

 

Layla: Wait so uh @Bennett if u are a highschooler how did u get into the greenhouse at the uni?

 

Bennett: Oh it's a long story

 

Bennett: Sorry again

 

Layla: Oh it's okay, don't worry, not much damage done I keep most of my research notes at the Sumeru Akademiya anyways

 

Lumine: Wait then why are you here

 

Layla: I visit here once in a while for special lectures from Prof. Istaroth

 

Keqing: Wait, you mentioned there's a professor here who's that?

 

Rukkahadevata: Oh hello that's me! I have phDs in several fields but prefer teaching botany and silvology

 

Beidou: Oh isn't that the class Kazuha is taking

 

Kazuha: It is

 

Zhongli: Greetings, Rukkahadevata, I see your teaching career is still going strong. 

 

Rukkhadevata: Indeed it is! I must say though I didn't expect all three of you to show up here again at the same time!

 

Zhongli: I didn't expect it either, to be honest.

 

Aether: ???

 

Aether: You two know each other?

 

Lumine: And wdym again

 

Venti: Oh heyaaaa it's been a while @Rukkhadevata 

 

Rukkahadevata: Venti! Are you sure you really don't want to take my class this semester?

 

Venti: Maybe next time when Ei's demonspawn kid isn't in the class too

 

Scaramouche: What the heck did u just call me???

 

Scaramouche: AH HECK

 

Scaramouche: HECK

 

Scaramouche: @#%%@^@^@^#

 

Venti: Anyway 

 

Venti: To answer your question @Lumine

 

Venti: Rukkhadevata, Zhongli, Ei and I are all from the same highschool and studied in years more or less close to each other

 

Kaeya: Wait a damn minute 

 

Kaeya: Won't that make you as old as professor

 

Venti: Uh yeah?

 

Venti: I hope you kids know that Zhongli, Ei and me are not actually fresh highschool graduates or smth

 

Zhongli: Indeed, we each got our preferred doctorate years ago, along with a few other degrees up until now.

 

Venti: Zhongli wanted a teaching license in Art History so that he could teach here as a professor and I was bored so u thought I'll tag along 

 

Venti: We managed to convince Ei to join us because Miko was studying here lol

 

Lisa: Never thought I'd say this but with all due respect, why the fuck would anyone want to do that

 

Jean: You are one to speak Lisa

 

Lisa: Babe these ppl are crazier than me u gotta accept that

 

Jean: I mean I'd say that's just you in the future

 

Lisa: NO

 

Lumine: So what do u guys plan on doing after graduating from ur 12456764435677th degree

 

Zhongli: That's an impossible number of degrees to have.

 

Hu Tao: Sarcasm peepaw

 

Zhongli: Ah, in that case, like Venti said, I'll obtain a teaching license and join the faculty here.

 

Venti: Imma go back to my music career and Ei's gonna go back to handling her Family business along with Makoto

 

Aether: Isn't Makoto a student too? If she's the same age as Ei why hasn't she graduated yet?

 

Ei: Ah that's on me, I suggested that Makoto and I should do a course together for mutual benefit but she ended up choosing Celestia Academy while I chose Teyvat Academy

 

Aether: So who's managing the family business in y'all's absence?

 

Ei: Our friend Saiguu and others 

 

Lumine: That’s quite a number of revelations I gotta say

 

Kaeya: ayo wait @Venti what music career??

 

Xiao: You guys dont know?

 

Kaeya: You do?

 

Xiao: I am literally not even from Mondstadt but yeah I do

 

Ganyu: Oh no no let me butt in to say that he MORE THAN KNOWS

 

Xiao: GANYU WHAT ARE U DOING

 

Ganyu: NO I NEED TO TELL THEM

 

Ganyu: SO BACK WHEN WE WERE IN HGHSCHOOL XIAO WAS A BIG FAN OF BARBATOS’ MUSIC

 

Barbara: Oh but who wouldn't be, he’s a sensation in the music industry after all

 

Yae Miko: Pfft they really don’t know 

 

Yae Miko: Ur juniors are cute Venti

 

Jean: Actually I know

 

Jean: Lisa and Diluc know too

 

Kaeya: ??? 

 

Kaeya: Know what??

 

Venti: Nothing very important dont worry

 

Childe: Now why does this read like a conspiracy theory thread

 

Lisa: I think the travelers know too

 

Aether: we do, and are frankly a bit surprised that even though Ei said it right on the general chat no one either noticed or didn’t realise it

 

Yoimiya: Oh now I am curious what are you guys talking about??

 

Mona: I realised it, I am not the genius astrologist Mona Megistus for no reason you know

 

Lumine: Yeah yeah we know

 

Lumine: If Childe was a *little* smarter he’d have figured it out too

 

Aether:Pity he isn’t 

 

Childe: Ohhkay so I am being roasted here for being dumb nothing new now will anybody tell me what’s going on

 

Ganyu: Everything aside do you guys know that Xiao owned a shirt with the words “BARBATOS’ MUSIC SAVED ME” written in big bold letters on the front?

 

Xiao: WTF NO

 

Ganyu: 100 per cent sure he still owns it

 

Aether: NO WAY OMG @Venti u seeing this

 

Venti: Heyheyhey leave the poor boy alone he has good taste in music so what?

 

Aether: I'm just genuinely surprised Xiao enjoys Barbatos’ music of all types

 

Venti: Like I said ✨good taste✨

 

Barbara: Hey I agree! I have been a fan of Barbatos since I was a kid!

 

Ganyu: But do own a teal colored T-shirt saying “BARBATOS’ MUSIC SAVED ME” in big bold letters

 

Barbara: ……no

 

Xiao: If anyone asks I died in a ditch and it’s all Ganyu’s fucking fault

 

Ganyu: @Zhongli Dad Xiao is cursing again

 

Hu Tao: Lmao tough luck dad isn’t gonna be checking his phone for a while

 

Ganyu: What why what happened

 

Xiao: Is it that fucking ginger again?

 

Hu Tao: You mean our step dad? Yeah he took dad out for a date

 

Xiao: Where

 

Hu Tao: Now why would u think that I would tell u the answer to that

 

Xiao: ….

 

Xiao: Where

 

Ganyu: You sound like a broken recorder

 

Keqing: I didn't know Ganyu had a mean side to her too

 

Ganyu: Oh sorry was it too much I didn't mean to be that mean

 

Xiao: Tf

 

Keqing: What no! Not at all, everytime I find out something new about you I fall in love even more so what I am trying to say is that it's nice to see more sides of you

 

Keqing: I realise now how cringe that sounded lemme just

 

[Action denied]

 

Keqing: What the fuck I can't even delete my own messages????

 

Lumine: I mean why would u wanna delete that that's a pretty sweet msg

 

Aether: Fr so poetic from you of all ppl

 

Keqing: Excuse me?

 

Shenhe: Which asshole made Ganyu cry come out before I hunt you for game

Keqing: Oh

 

Shenhe: You can cry from happiness?

 

Ganyu: Yes and Keqing's text made me so happy that I was overwhelmed with tears she didn't hurt me rather she makes me so happy I can't quite describe it in words

 

Keqing: Are you sure you are okay? Where are you rn? I am coming over

 

Ganyu: In my dorm room you can come over right now if you want

 

Keqing: Coming

 

Yae Miko: It's still daytime so remember to keep your voices down

 

Ganyu: MIKO

 

Jean: THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE

 

Yae Miko: What I was just telling them speak in low voices what's wrong with that 

 

Yae Miko: Unless you little ones are the ones of thought of something 

 

Lisa: Oh my, Jean?

 

Jean: No Lisa it's not what it looks like I-

 

Ganyu: Miko ur teasing really gives me a heart attack sometimes 

 

Yae Miko: Hehe~

 

Keqing: Ganyu I am outside open up

 

Shenhe: So I am not allowed to kill Keqing?

 

Ganyu: NO I love her very much if you kill her then I will be very sad :(

Xingqiu: How many times do I have to tell you guys Ms Yelan is not my auntie

 

Chongyun: Auntie u have someone u like???

 

Shenhe: I dont think I do

 

Yelan: You will soon ~

 

Aether: Take this to the dms please those of us single folk are offended by your blatant display of flirtation 

 

Lumine: Now what's stopping you from flirting with you-know-who

 

Venti: Lmao why u gotta make it sound like a forbidden name that will curse u if u say it

 

Lumine: It could

 

Xiao: Who is it?

Notes:

Yooo guyss the 3.2 livestream??? Couldnt see it properly because of my exams but it was sooo cool! And interesting!! And Nahida's trailer dropped yesterday and man that was the saddest character trailer I had ever seen, how could they just lock up a child like that. Hope I'll get to kick the sages' asses in the upcoming update for what they did to her. Ooh and the Scaramouche mecha was pretty sick looking too ngl. Cant wait to go into that domain and immediately die lmfao.

I am actually trying very hard to not spend my fates until the 2nd phase of 3.2 (like twt said, pretty archon wives banner) but my gacha addiction made me do another 10x TT (which gave a me a beidou con so yay) but I swear that was the last of it!

Also, who will you guys be pulling for in 3.2?? And are Nilou and Albedo wanters now Nilou and Albedo havers?? Hoping all of ur pulls go well and u get the characters y'all want <333

(On another note, I have plans to write a multi chapter plot oriented fic sometime within the next month. I know which ship to write for, and I have drafted a basic plot outline all I need now is time and motivation to get started! So wish me luck <3)

Chapter 16: Operation Thomato

Summary:

With a bonus of Damn what's going on in Sumeru?

Notes:

Guysss I am alive and I am soo sorry for going MIA for so many months my finals were coming up and being in the final year of school meant barely no free time for me TT. But now that my board exams are done, I can finally relax for a while before starting uni later this year! I really meant to release two chapters as an apology but getting back on track with my writing is taking time so my writing speed and creativity has taken a hit ahahaha.....

But for those of you who are still reading this fic and supporting me thank you so much! Your support means a lot to me!! I couldn't be more grateful than anyone to my readers for motivating so much to continue writing!!! LI love y'all so much!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Totally cooler and awesomer BOSS: SHIT WAIT I AM COMING TOO

 

Best bro: Ahaha what’s going on here

 

Totally cool and awesome deputy: Penance for past actions

 

Best bro: Ahaha I see…

 

Best bro: So um I am accompanying my lady and my lord along with Lumine to the amusement park today

 

Best bro: And Idk why I feel kinda nervous

 

Ramen fox lady: Oooh a double date little one?

 

Best bro: Whaaaat its nothing like that its just a casual outing with my lord and my lady and Lumine and I am just tagging along

 

Totally cool and awesome deputy: Sounds more like a double date if u ask  me

 

Best bro: Look I thought abt it too but then the rational part of my brain woke up and made me realise there's no way THE Kamisato Ayato of THE Kamisato clan would ever ask ME, just a regular half foreigner housekeeper working for them, out on a date

 

Best bro: Like the elders in the clan prolly want him to marry some high class noble woman maybe idk I never stood a chance

 

Ramen fox lady: Hmmm but is that what you want?

 

Best bro: It doesnt matter what I want

 

Ramen fox lady: Okay let me rephrase that

 

Ramen fox lady: Do you think it is something that Ayato would want?

 

Best bro: Um

 

Best bro: Honestly…I don’t know….

 

Ramen fox lady: What do you think?

 

Best bro: Maybe

 

Best bro: Not

 

Best bro: I really dont know

 

Ramen fox lady: Okay little one lets sit down and analyse the possibility that Ayato does accept marriage from a high class noble lady

 

Ramen fox lady: Thoma?

 

Best bro: Um yes sorry I just thought of it and kinda lost myself there for a moment sorry

 

Ramen fox lady: Okay

 

Ramen fox lady: Now think about it, you have more or less promised to serve the Kamisatoes for as long as possible, meaning that you will likely still be around when Ayato gets married and afterwards too

 

Ramen fox lady: How do you feel on imagining that?

 

Best bro: Sad

 

Best bro: I MEAN HAPPY

 

Best bro: For my lord he deserves happiness after everything he’s been through

 

Ramen fox lady: Oh little one 

 

Ramen fox lady: I wasn’t done yet

 

Ramen fox lady: Can you imagine what Ayato would be like? To be trapped in a loveless marriage?

 

Best bro: He will learn to love his spouse. That’s how this works

 

Ramen fox lady: But what if he doesnt

 

Ramen fox lady: What if everyday you wake up only to see your lord be an empty husk of who he used to be, tired and hurting…knowing you could have changed it

 

Best bro: No I couldn’thave its not like I can giv ehim a better life

 

Ramen fox lady: But you can give him a chance

 

Ramen fox lady: Isn’t it time u face ur feelings head on?

 

Best bro: I dont know

 

Best bro: I am just their servant it would be inappropriate of me 

 

Ramen fox lady: Oh dear boy ever since when did Mondstatders care about all that?

 

Best bro: How did you know?

 

Ramen fox lady: I just did

 

Ramen fox lady: Now go embrace the spirit of freedom in you and listen to what your heart says

 

Best bro: But what if it doesnt work what if he doesnt see me that way

 

Saviour: Worst case scenario you can always just move to Liyue or Mondstadt

 

Saviour: Sorry I have never met you in my life but that discussion you had with Ramen fox lady was kinda deep and emotional and so I was just suggesting

 

Best bro: No worries! Thanks a lot for the suggestion tho!

 

Saviour: In case you decide to come to Liyue ask for Adepti legal consultancy firm I will show you around Liyue and help introduce you to the locals

 

Best bro: Haha that's really nice of you thanks!

 

Best bro: But if worst comes to worst I think I will go back to Mondstadt I have friends there and I think it will be nice to see my home again after a while

 

Ramen fox lady: Tch tch look at you being so negative go shoot your shot first little one and then decide your escape plan based on the results

 

Best bro: Thank you Miss Yae 

 

Ramen fox lady: You can thank me later by letting me officiate yours and Ayato’ wedding at the Grand Narukami shrine

 

Best bro: Oh

 

Best bro: If by some miracle he does accept my confession then sure ig ahaha

 

Totally cool and awesome deputy: Sorry I missed most of the convo while supervising Itto and Yoimiya’s work but all the best Thoma!

 

Best bro: Thank you Shinobu

 

Scary lady from the chasm: Good luck

 

Scary lady from the chasm: I have placed bets so don't forget to let us know the outcome

 

Best bro: I am sorry but who are you again?

 

Scary lady from the chasm: Scary lady from the chasm

Ayaka: You still there brother?

 

Ayato: I just imagined what marrying Thoma would be like and I think my heart is going to burst

 

Ayaka: Hang in there soldier you still have to get through this day to make it happen

 

Ayaka: okay so according to the plan Lumine and I are going to very naturally and very casually drift away to try other rides and leave u guys alone that’s when u shoot ur shot
