Any genshin character in their story quest: Hey Random Sus Traveler, help me do this very random task that does not involve you at all. Also, I trust you with everything even if we just met.

Traveler, just passing by: You lazy, beautiful being. I'm in.

A/N: Tysm @ramannnn for commissioning me!! I had a fun time writing this ＞︿＜

CW: Angst - this is set in the past when Xiao was still working under his cruel master, way before Zhongli freed him. The reader is a male servant working for the same boss.

The sky was gray that evening. Alatus might’ve described it as murky, even, if his body was in a state to observe the scenery around him.

It hurts; moving hurt, but the yaksha knew that if he didn’t, he’d be subjected to even worse later on. He needed something to soothe his body, he can’t remember the last time he’s eaten–

It was only when Alatus leaned against his polearm for support that his eyes focused on the ground. Something in his mind clicked.

…Snow. 

Water.

Even if it was only like this, it was better than nothing. He wasn’t sure when he’d let his knees give way, but a moment later Alatus found himself closer to the snow. It was the closest thing he could get to sustenance right now, thus he dug into it and raised a handful to his mouth.

The cold bite of it stung his teeth at first, delivering a shock to his system as his mind gradually began to clear. Alatus kept shovelling at the snow, vaguely recognising his own state within the numbness of his body.

This was fine. It wasn’t the first time.

note: i was supposed to do a zhongli angst drabble but when i was writing it, it started going downhill so i just made this instead. unedited as usual and idea was from @kingkaeya!

albedo ;

he’d lean in your touch almost instantly. he finds a big sense of comfort whenever you hold him - whether it may be cuddles or whatnot. albedo feels peaceful once you hold his place. he doesn’t want you to let go - not yet. he dislikes the idea of his feeling of safety going away swiftly. he would be against you letting go, burying his face at the crook of your neck, nuzzling his nose as he inhales your sweet and memorable scent. at times like these, albedo is desperate. for what? for you, your touch, that feeling of security he feels when he’s with you - he’s desperate for all of it.

childe ;

childe laughs at you and makes you squish his cheeks. his schedule is a mess, there are times when he’s completely free (to the point he doesn't seem like he’s a harbinger) and there are times when he’s so busy. you couldn’t find the right time for each other properly. but childe has his ways of sneaking every now and then - this moment being one of them. a small five minutes of his spare time and he’s there by your side, whining and getting needy for affection. it’s just how he is.

xiao ;

if there was something you should’ve known about xiao, it’s the fact that he’s very, and i mean very fragile. when you hold his face, it could go down in two ways: one, xiao would back away in shock. or two, he’ll try and relax as you cup his cheek. xiao has been through enough - he’s suffered more and more than a normal person can comprehend. however, why was your touch so… welcoming? as his face resides in your hand, he wonders: just how could you accept him? does he deserve this type of affection in the first place? but those thoughts matter so little - it’s best to just focus on the present.

diluc ;

he’s confused. diluc likes the feeling of your thumb grazing upon his cheek - it’s a comforting feeling for him. whenever diluc rests, he either asks you to spend time with him or he indirectly asks you to hold his face. it became his guilty pleasure (but of course he doesn’t want to admit that). the refreshing feeling of you holding his face to pass time was something that diluc didn’t expect to love so much. but there’s no turning back, no?
