I Object!
❝ i object! ❞
kazuha + albedo
summary: you as a noble should naturally marry another noble, despite your love for another. your parents had managed to pry your lover off of you and get you wedded to a powerful nobleman- that is, until your past lover comes barging through the doors on your wedding day.
cw: gn!reader, arranged/forced marriage, teeny tiny bit of alcohol, angst to comfort
what i listened to while writing: wave - wave to earth
a/n: *slowly crawls out of my cave* hey guys. it's me again😭 i randomly got the motivation to write again, idk what demons possessed me to write this in the span of 5 hours but at least i have new content!!!! i was gonna do this with more characters but kazuha and albedo were the only ones i see pulling this cheesy-typa stuff tbh

kazuha
“…what?”
your gaze fell down towards the wooden docks you were standing on. kazuha frowned, his grasp on your hand loosening. he was aboard the crux, and the crew was preparing to leave inazuma for another trip to liyue.
“i’m from one of the tri-commissions, kazuha,” you said defeatedly. “it’s over for us now. i’m going to be wedded as an alliance with another commission. i… i’m sorry…” but before kazuha could respond, the large ship began to sail away, his hands completely slipping away from yours.
kazuha leaned over the edge of the ship, watching your figure get smaller and smaller. though he hoped you would at least give him a wave goodbye, you simply turned around and left the docks of ritou, leaving him saddened and confused.
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
kazuha spent the next month lost in his thoughts. ink blots were all that filled the pages of his journal now that he’s lost his muse.
“it’s over for us now.”
those words played in his mind like a broken record in hopes that maybe he could find a sense of doubt from those words, just a hint that it wasn’t truly over. he’s tried to understand, truly. but the thought of losing you ate kazuha up from the inside, especially knowing that he had no control over it. there weren’t any flaws in him or you that caused this, only circumstance. and that stung his heart more than anything.
despite kazuha’s wishes and prayers, the wedding would happen either way. news eventually reached his ears that two commissions from inazuma would be joined through a marriage between the two heirs, and that was when kazuha truly felt like he was losing control. you were being swept away so suddenly, carried away in the arms of another man. what was he to do?
you were being fitted into a kimono that very second, the maids tying the knots and wrapping the fabric around your body. your limbs felt heavy like lead, your head hanging low like rotten fruit on a tree. you tried to live in a fantasy just for at least a few moments, imagining that kazuha was the one you were being wed to, not a nobleman.
kazuha almost felt like a dream now that he was gone, as if he was only a fleeting imagination before you had to wake up to reality. the ephemeral touches, the honey-dipped sunsets, the smell of salt and the sea. that was all simply an illusion. you had to go back to the wooden floors, the inked papers and the melting candles. this was reality now, where everything was out of your control.
“this is all for the sake of our family, you know that?” your father’s voice broke your train of thought. “think of this as a way to pay us back for raising you. you’re much better off with a nobleman than that wandering fugitive anyways.”
you grit your teeth and tightened your fist, your knuckles whitening. “i know.”
the ceremony went through in a daze, the sacred sake tasting bitter on your tongue. a part of you felt like you should’ve just jumped on that ship along with kazuha. regret sat in your stomach like a sickly bag of bleach. but you knew it was for the better, both for you and your family.
after the vows, the priest then asked, “does anyone here object to the wedding?”
a heavy silence followed. the two of you were heirs to the biggest commissions in inazuma, it was obvious that nobody would dare to object this wedding. your gaze fell further down in defeat. it was really happening now.
“i object!”
your head snapped up from the ground and turned towards the voice. at the end of the crowd stood kazuha, the wind blowing softly through his hair, the golden light from the sunset outlining his silhouette.
emotions rushed through your chest: happiness, regret, sadness, doubt, and guilt. the cup you were holding dropped to the ground and shattered. the crowd began to murmur and gossip.
“kazuha,” you breathed out.
the crowd parted to make way for your lover, who confidently walked towards you and held his hand out. everything around you seemed to suddenly disappear the moment your fingertips met his. it was only the two of you now.
“kazuha… what on earth are you doing here?”
“i just need you to answer one question for me,” kazuha said softly. “do you trust me?”
by the way he eagerly interlocked his fingers with yours, his intentions were obvious. if you were to answer this question, it would mean throwing away everything you’ve known thus far: your family, your possessions, your wealth, your inheritance, your responsibilities. everything. but with the way kazuha was silently pleading you with his eyes… how could say no?
you let out a shaky breath. “i do.”
kazuha merely smiled in return, his eyes softening as if to tell you that everything was going to be alright. that he understood your choices, and that all you need to do was take this final leap of faith.
“hurry up kazuha!” beidou’s voice interrupted. a few meters away, the crux was anchored to the docks, the crew eagerly waiting to set sail. “the guards might come and take ya anytime soon!”
kazuha held your hand tightly and began running towards the docks, the two of you giggling as he helped you up on the ship. the nobleman, priest, and the crowd all watched in disbelief as you hopped onto the crux, sailing away with the samurai.
the crew cheered as you and kazuha shared a kiss of reunion, the anchor lifting from the seafloor and the two of you sailing away into the golden sun, just like you were meant to be.
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
albedo
“i…see.” albedo’s eyes wander off to nowhere in particular after hearing your explanation. he blinks a few times as if to confirm that he wasn’t dreaming.
“it’s not your fault, albedo, and neither is it mine,” you added. “i hope you understand.”
for the first time since albedo was created, he feels numb. his fingertips lose grip as it all finally settles in. you’re leaving him for another man.
of course, he knows that’s not really the case. albedo understands your circumstance as well as the political powers at play, but at the end of the day, that’s what’s happening, right? you’re being wedded off to another man, which of course means you’ll have to leave him.
and when he sees you take off your ring- the ring he gave you- and put it on his desk, his heart shatters. you silently take your leave, disappearing into the dragonspine snow. albedo’s gaze is immediately pulled to the golden band on his desk, which seemed so much duller now that it wasn’t on your finger.
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
projects seem more pointless than ever before, and piles of crumpled up drafts fill albedo’s trash bin. he’s taken down all the portraits of you in his home because it was too painful to bear, yet he can’t deny that he was still hopelessly in love with you. the thought of you standing at the altar with another man made albedo positively sick. and there was nothing he could do about it.
he even decided to abandon his projects to visit the city in hopes that he could catch a glimpse of you, but you never seemed to be there. he’d wander for what seemed like hours, only for it to be in vain. ‘of course,’ he tells himself, ‘they’d be busy preparing for the wedding.’
the ring in his pocket weighs heavier than before. he takes it out and twirls it in his hand, the afternoon sun reflecting off of it almost blindingly. the church bells ring in the distance, as well as the melody from the church organ.
wait… the organ is playing.
albedo clasps his hand around the ring tightly before frantically running up the stairs towards the cathedral. the scent of flowers fills his nostrils as he makes his way past the statue of barbatos and climbs the final flight of stairs until he’s met with the wooden doors of the cathedral.
he won’t lose you. he can’t lose you.
albedo’s hands feel heavy as his palm rests flat against the door. once the organs stop playing, the faint voice of a priest could be heard from outside. he can hear the nobleman say his vows, then you. his flat palm turns into a fist as he contemplates what to do next. he’s never liked crowds, nor has he ever liked being the center of attention. this could certainly ruin his reputation, and hell, the clan you’re getting married to might even get him fired but-
the thought of you being by his side again gives albedo more than enough courage to push against the doors.
“does anyone object to this wedding?”
with one strong push, the doors swing open. sunlight spills into the cathedral and forms a path of light leading to you. and dear lord barbatos, you look breathtaking.
albedo watches as you turn around in confusion. the ring you were holding in one hand clatters to the floor, echoing down the hall.
though albedo had planned on walking towards you, he couldn’t help but start running down the aisle. panting, he turns to the priest. “i object this wedding. i am their rightful lover, am i not?”
you step down from the altar, your hands reaching to caress his face and gently wipe the sweat from his forehead. “even after everything i told you… you still came. i tried so hard to hurt your feelings, so why are you here?”
despite the tears pooling in your eyes, you’re smiling. and that’s all albedo needed to see. “i must be going insane, y/n. i’m not one to act like this.”
he kneels down right then and there, holding up the ring with two of his fingers. “will you marry me?”
you take a moment to look down at albedo, who’s kneeling before you in a silent plead. the faint bags under his eyes are proof enough that he’s missed you. your family would hate you for this. doing this would mean to be shunned and disowned from your clan. the support you once had would dissipate in an instant. albedo might be put in danger as well. but you’d rather have nothing and albedo rather than everything but albedo.
“yes,” you said before sliding the ring on your ring finger, right where it belonged. you grab albedo’s arm and run out the cathedral, much to the protest of your family sitting at the pews.
you skip down the steps in a hurry before turning your head to see albedo smiling softly. you’re dolled up, and the afternoon glow of the sun hits your face just perfectly. and with his ring resting on your finger, albedo can’t help but simply adore you.
‘you are killing me softly,’ he thinks, ‘yet you seem to be the only thing keeping me alive.’

Not his proudest moment? When your first impression of him was when he charged at you and Aether with his polearm. While it was soon evident that his true target was Al-Haitham, later on, he still feels uncharacteristically guilty – or annoyed – that he basically ruined your first meeting.
Not that something like that matters to him, of course.

DILUC - Gifts 414 words
Diluc’s a busy man but also a rich one and whenever he can he’ll stop by Marjorie or Flora and pick up a dainty trinket or bouquet of flowers just as gorgeous as he thinks you are. Diluc really wishes he had more time to spend with you but you make sure he knows that the thought he puts into these gifts for you is more than enough to show his love.
After leaving the Angel’s Share in the noon, Diluc makes his mundane trip back to the manor to see his you, his beloved. As he strolls along the cobble grounds of Mondstadt, an echoing call from Marjorie with the thought of you in his mind gives him an idea and he finds himself paused in front of Marjorie to gloss over her current stock.
He settles on a small box decorated with different coloured jewels that runs him 1,500 mora. He thanks Marjorie and continues to the Mondstadt gate, once again pausing when he notices someone handing over mora to Flora for a bouquet. He walks over and glances over each of the bouquets, trying to decide which one is the best for you. “Could you suggest a bouquet to show someone you love them?” As he listened to Flora explain which flowers would be best to show someone your romantic feelings, a certain flower shop assistant couldn’t help but ache in her heart a bit …
After picking out a bouquet of cecilias, showing the purity of his love, he continued out of Mondstadt City on his walk back to the Winery to greet you with his gifts.
Arriving back at the Winery, he walks up through the path between the grape vines to see you up on the balcony awaiting his return home. You rush down through your home and throw yourself into Diluc’s open arms. “I missed you Luc!” you breathe into his warm embrace, leaving the hug once he pulls back to show you the gifts he brought back, thinking of you. “Oh!” Your eyes light up at the sight and you gently take the box and turn it all around, admiring every jewel and corner made so perfectly and gifted from your true love. You take the beautiful cecilia bouquet in between your arm and chest and while Diluc links your other arm with his, you walk back into the manor together and enjoy a calm, warm afternoon together, admiring your new cecilias in the bright windows.
BENNETT - Quality Time 718 words
Bennett’s luck is awful and he’s well aware of it, unfortunately, so are the people around him. Bennett spends most days in optimism waiting and hoping someone will join his Adventure Team or at least be his friend but there’s days where he sits inside, staring outside at the other Mondstadt kids playing and chatting with friends and just wishing that someone would give him the time of day and not live in dread beside him. Of course he has Razor, Fischl and Barbara but they’re all busy, far away or both. That was all until you came into his life. Bennett’s never been happier now that he has someone who never leaves his side, through luck or naught.
You and Bennett sit in a damp cave on a few logs you managed to drag in after most of the others ended up getting abruptly struck by the lightning storm outside or being a dendro slime’s disguise.
You hold your hands in front of the crackling flames of the campfire you built and he lit. Bennett sat with his arms crossed on top of his knees and his head slumped on top of that with a pouting face and eyes on the verge of tears. You don’t notice Bennett’s sad state as you look to the entrance of the cave to see if the storm is easing at all
You’re alerted to Bennett’s condition when a loose rock from somewhere manages to fling from its spot and hit Bennett in the upper arm, making him wince in pain. You look over to make sure he’s physically okay when you notice his tears start to fall. You gasp and rush to his side, “What’s wrong Benny? Did the rock hurt?” Only reply you got was Bennett sniffling in sorrow and a muffled “No.”
You put your arm around Bennett and rested his head on your shoulder as he choked up small sobs, “I’m so sorry our adventurers never go well. It’s all my fault, I don’t know why you stay with me.” You felt your heart shatter into a million pieces and not by Bennett’s luck. Thoughts of ways to express your admiration and devotion for Bennett flicked through your mind as you comforted his currently beat-down soul.
“Bennett, I’ve never met someone with such a pure heart like yours so full of joy and warmth.” You started, “and I don’t think I’ve ever been on adventures as fun as the ones when I’m with you. Your luck challenges us in ways that make adventuring fun and even if the rewards aren’t gold and jewels, the smile on your face and pride I see in your heart when we make it back with less bandaids on us than usual, makes it so much more worth it than any treasure!” You start wiping the tears off of Bennett’s face and he looks at you with eyes full of uncertainty.
He wipes his nose and sniffles “I promise you that one day, when my luck changes for the better, I’ll keep you so close to me that not even a coin can flip in your disfavor” he shows you a teary grin and you smile back at him, ruffling his hair. “Even if we did get stuck in this cave by my luck, I’ll always be happy it’s with you.” You nod in agreement.
When you avert your eyes from Bennett to check on the storm again, you both notice it’s cleared up and the sky looks blue again and your fire has already died down to damp, ashy twigs again. You stand up to leave the cave, holding his hands firmly. Once you get out, you gasp when you both notice the bold rainbow in the sky directly outside of the cave. You exchange a big smile with Bennett and run back to Mondstadt City together - Gathering a few more scabs on the way home but it’s all worth it because you’ve never been so happy to be around Bennett despite his sometimes rotten luck.
“Hey Y/N, whenever I’m around you, my luck kind of feels like sometimes, even just for a moment, it eases a little bit.” He confesses to you. “I’ll stay around you lots then.” You both smile at each other.
ALBEDO - Acts of Service 931 words
Albedo is a very noticeably reserved person.He spends most of his time in Dragonspine and even when he does make his way into the City, it’s obvious to anyone who notices him that he takes the less crowded routes and avoids most conversation. Although it’s clear to anyone who notices him that he’s not very talkative with a lot of people, if you’re close with him, he’s willing to do a lot - almost anything - for you. He has a lot of time on his hands and what’s the best thing to do when you have a lot of time and no one you’d particularly like to converse with at all times? Doing things for them!
You laid in bed after coming home from Dragonspine to see your boyfriend Albedo yesterday morning. You went to sleep feeling a bit sickly but brushed it off as having a long day and built-up tiredness but you’d woken up that day still feeling sick, if not worse. You stayed in bed, staring at your room while coughing and sniffling a bit.
After dragging yourself out of bed to make breakfast, you get a knock at your door. You waddle over to the door under the bed sheet you wrapped around yourself and open the door slightly to poke your head. Your stomach almost falls through your body when you notice it’s your boyfriend Albedo. “Uh, hello y/n. Do you have a reason for hiding behind your door like that?” he gives you a slightly perplexed look from his usually blank face “And do you have a blanket wrapped around you too?”
His questions are mostly answered when you turn away to cough and then let out a sneeze and sniffle “Oh, my apologies, did you get sick in Dragonspine yesterday? I should have forewarned you to bring a few more layers, it was particularly cold that day” he thinks out loud in front of you. “Mn, Bedo, it’s not your fault” You sniffle again, “Do you need something?” Albedo perks back up again to look at you “Ah yes, I finished the cover illustration for your book you asked for.” he hands you a few papers with different illustrations on to choose from “Ah, thank you Bedo- ah I really shouldn’t get my germy hands on them right now” you say, waddling back into your home to put them on a table. Meanwhile you do so, Albedo invites himself in, closing the door behind him and looking around your house while you continue your breakfast, he takes notice and walks into your kitchen, “Allow me to finish that for you, y/n. You should be resting” you look at him and nod, taking a seat at your table and sniffling a bit again
Albedo finishes your breakfast for you and serves it to you at your seat. Albedo thinks to himself, checking your cabinets and fridge, “you could do with some more healthy foods…I’ll go buy some.” Albedo turns back around to look at you “Get yourself back into bed and when I come back I’ll run you a warm bath” Albedo turned away while you ate your breakfast and left your house to buy some more ingredients to fill your cupboards.
You hear your front door open and close again as you start drifting off into a nap while Albedo puts the groceries away in your cabinets and fridge. As you’re almost asleep, you hear Albedo come upstairs and into your room, he nudges you gently to wake you and hands you a drink, “stay hydrated while I go prepare the bath for you.” He strokes your head and smiles softly as you nod drowsily. You finish your drink, watching outside of the window while you hear Albedo running a warm bath in the background.
After a few minutes, Albedo walks back into your room with his sleeves rolled up and his hair pushed back. “You don’t need me to carry you do you?” you shake your head and move yourself out of bed, into the bathroom. “If you need anything, I’ll stay nearby, just call for me.” You nod again and undress yourself in the bathroom after closing the door behind you.
You sink yourself into the hot water and relax your muscles, letting the water rise up to your mouth. To your shock, Albedo walks in a few moments with another drink to keep you hydrated. You quickly cover yourself “Ah, sorry y/n, I should have thought about that…” He quietly leaves the drink on the side of the tub and leaves you alone again.
You relax back in the rub again, almost falling asleep. Luckily, Albedo has some sort of spidey sense and comes back in to check up on you and notices you start to sink in the water from exhaustion, he quickly lifts you back up and decides it’s time for you to get out of the tub… Albedo lifts you out of the tub and you’re shocked awake by the cold air. Albedo brings you a towel and starts drying you off. You’re a bit flustered by Albedo seeing you like this but he barely seems to mind, he’s more focused on taking care of you.
Once Albedo has dried you like a helpless wet puppy, he helps you back to bed and tucks you in, deciding last minute that maybe he’ll continue looking after you the next few days~ he gets into the bed with you and you cuddle up to his side after letting out one last sickly sneeze, cough then sniffle and falling asleep.
VENTI - Words of Affirmation 434 words
Venti the bard is nothing short of charismatic, you know this all too well. He’s always writing poetry for and about you, incorporating it into his tunes and even his daily life just to compliment you. You say you’ve grown used to it but honestly you never could, who could resist such a cute bard?
You slump through the Angel’s Share door after you got your rewards from Katheryne at the Adventurer’s Guild. You look around for that familiar green cape. Once to spot it, you huff and drag your way over to him. “Oh? I sense a depressing presence on the wind~?” The bard turns around to look at you, “Oh my, you look like you’ve been through the Mare Jivari and back! What ever happened oh, y/n, dearest?” You sit up on the stool next to the bard and rest your head on his shoulder, you slump and start retelling the events of your recent adventure.
Once finished with your rant - and every out of breath - the bard opens his mouth again “Hm. If only I was there to help~ But I’m sure you did well!” Venti pats you on the back encouragingly. You rest your chin on the bar and sigh again. Venti pulls out his lyre and starts plucking the strings and humming. The tavern guests turn to listen to his song
After listening to his bard tune, singing your praises, he sits back down beside your flustered self and laughs “Was it good? Hm?” You laugh slightly and look away to hide your smile from the shameless bard but he catches on and starts teasing you, poking you and laughing.
4 drinks later and your world is starting to haze a bit but Venti, however many drinks in, is still going strong. You start feeling emotional about the mistakes you made on your expedition today again and Venti’s still just as quick to start reassuring you, “Oh, chin up y/n. A frown suits you no better than a cecilia in a field of asters~” he whines, pouting at your solemn face, “Tomorrow is another day, mistakes aren’t common to you, i’m sure you’ll rebound 2x better after you’ve relaxed yourself…With a few more drinks, ehe.” Venti orders another round of drinks for himself and you, continuing through the night to sing tales of your past experiences on the field, even getting the other tavern-goers to join in and sing around you. You start to cheer up a bit and join the group choir, all thanks to Venti you’re feeling a bit more optimistic about your next adventure.
KAEYA - Physical Touch 620 words
knowing the cavalry captain as only a cold and sly person couldn't be further from the truth.Kaeya , once you get to know him, was actually a very warm and touch-starved person and he liked being able to be vulnerable with you and let himself love and be loved
You were arranging the flowers at Flora’s stall on a warm spring day in the city. The Windblume festival was just beginning and swarms of people were looking to get flowers for their loved ones. You sighed quietly. Your boyfriend, Kaeya, was Cavalry Captains of the nights and as most people were distracted, the knights had to be on extra duty to make up for everyone else’s lack of attention. You wished it didn’t have to be this way but by all means you understood that it was necessary.
As you continued arranging the floral bouquets, you felt a pair of hands snake around your waists. You jolted in surprise before hearing a low, familiar chuckle, you spun around to see your boyfriend in his casual attire. “Aren’t you supposed to be on overtime duty today?” You questioned him. “Hm, usually yes but just so happened that we were overstaffed today and Jean let me go for today. And who else should I spend the holiday of love with other than my beloved?” he purred. He linked his arm around yours, “C’mon, we’ll go somewhere nice”
You’re surprised when Kaeya takes you to the Knights of Favonius stables. He helps you climb onto the horse before getting on himself, “Wrap your hands around my waist” he requests and as you do, you pull yourself closer to his warm body.
He rides with you to the middle of Sarsnatch cliff, dismounting the horse and helping you down by carrying you bridal style. You laugh as he sets you down and grabs the horse's reins to walk to the peak with you. You watch over the side of the cliff and down at your feet to look at the flowers as you walk along. He slows down to hold your hand and take you along with him. You both continue your march, slowing down every now and then to admire the flowers, Kaeya picks one and places it in your hair, smiling at you in adoration.
Once you reach the crown of the cliff, he sits down near the edge and motions you to sit next to him, once you do he lays down and looks at the sky peacefully. You lay beside him and do the same and turn over to rest your head on his chest. He holds you close and although neither of you talk much, you’re happy just being able to spend the day together outside of his busy schedule as captain.
Kaeya wishes that whenever you would come by his office, just drop something off or see him, he could hold you for a while or be close with you when he’s out but as long as he has his uniform on, you’re a citizen and he’s a knight. (Although there are a few occasions where that doesn’t stop him). Kaeya’s had a long life of holding up a duty to get close to people to learn useful secrets but he’s never been able to get close to someone to love and cherish them for a long time. Ever since he met you, he’s become addicted to the warmth of your intimacy and the feeling in his chest whenever he can touch you. Laying on this cliff with you in his arms makes him feel like he’s on Cloud 9 and he never wants to go back to a life without such a tender presence in his life
