AYATO ▪︎ pillar of fortitude

Ayato was called to the tenshukaku to meet up with Kujou Sara, future head of the Tenryou commission

When he first arrived there, from the corner of his eyes he saw you, sweeping up the floor near the entrance to the tenshukaku

When he wanted to get a full view of you, you were already gone

"Strange" he thought to himself before making his way to the Tenryou commission's headquarter

Few hours passed and the meeting came to a close

By then Ayato was already walking away from the tenshukaku

He was still thinking about the girl he saw from the corner of his eye

As if right in cue, you appeared again not in front of him no, but still in the tenshukaku walls watering the plants while humming

He looked behind when he heard a lovely voice coming from inside the Tenshukaku

And he saw you

You must be new because the head of the kamisato clan has never seen you once everytime he visits the Tenshukaku

Ayati stared at you for a while admiring your singing and what youre doing before he was brought back to reality by one of his bodyguards

"Lord Ayato? Is there something the matter?"

"Oh no" he whipped his head away and gave the bodyguard his signature smile "I just thought I forgot something"

Ayato thought that within a day or 2 he'd forget about you but boy was he wrong

For a whole week all he could think about was you

During boring meetings with his retainers, he'd daydream for a while and the first thought that would come to his mind, was your singing

Ayato never told any one of this

Not even his dearest sister Ayaka

He'll forget about you soon, he thought to himself, still convinced that one day he will just stop thinking about you

After a week or so the head of thr Kamisato clan was told (forced actually) to go out and get some fresh air by Ayaka and Thoma after burying himself with piles and piles of paperwork as usual

He decided to take a stroll out in Inazuma city and see the bustling markets which are usually full in the mornings

Ayaka and Thoma agreed to catch up with hin later as Ayaka had a meeting herself and Thoma was called in by Kujou Sara to teach someone about cleaning and housework

So the head of the Kamisato clan was finally walking in the streets of Inazuma, smelling the aroma of freshly cooked food

Admiring the people gathering up in all the stalls to by some vegetables and fruits

While he himself decided to buy boba as he waits

Not so long after he heard someone call out to him

Averting his focus away from watching a street food vendor making taiyaki,

He saw Thoma and Ayaka waving at him, and he saw a 3rd person hiding behind Thoma both hands on her thighs, smiling and looking down as if a sign to show respect

Ayato walked over to them and wondering who that person behind Thoma was

Her features were covered by Thoma so Ayati couldnt really tell

"My Lord sorry we took so long, I got so immersed in teaching her about cleaning and cooking I didn't see the time" Thoma started before moving away slightly to dully reveal who was behind him

"This is (name) the new housekeeper for the Tenshukaku, Kujou Sara wanted me to teach her the basics and the tips and tricks so I couldnt decline the offer"

Ayato's eyes widen a bit as he recognised you in an instant

He thought you looked more stunning face to face

you raised your head to make eye contact with him and bowed again once you introduced yourself "Hello Lord Ayato, I am (name), I hope you dont mind me coming here with Lady Ayaka and housekeeper Thoma, Thoma insisted that I come here to meet you"

Ayato loved how you spoke, it was gentle and soft, although something tells him that when you both get closer, your personality might change when you get comfortable around him

And he wants to be able to see just wnat lies behind your prim and proper self

"Hello (name) its a pleasure to make your aquaintance, I dont mind you coming here with my sister and Thoma, in fact I welcome you" he smiled

"So tell me, how did Thoma teach you? Was it good? Did you experience any discomfort?" He moved his body slightly and extended his arm out to the city as if to tell you to come take a walk with him as you both talked

You understood and started walking beside him

Ayaka and Thoma new a special bond was forming between the 2 of you

And they cant wait to see it bloom into something much more

KAVEH ▪︎ empyrean reflection

Kaveh got a new client and of course of to work he was

He heard you wanted to make a house just outside of sumeru city

Kaveh thought it was a good idea as he doesnt really fancy the idea of building a big home in sumeru city, where there isnt a lot of spaces anymore

"Ms. (Name).... hm..." he looked at the letter you wrote to him telling him where to meet up and your name, trying to find out where you are at Puspa cafe

"Hi are you Mr.Kaveh?" A voice called out to him making him raise his head from the letter making eye contact with you

He froze in his spot looking at you eyes widen

You were stunning

The way your eyes met hin shyly and your brows furrowed slightly as if youre worried you got the wrong person makes you all the more cuter

"Uhm.. sir?" He flinched a bit and shakes his head

How could he do such a thing! Staring at you for who knows how long

He must have made you uncomfortable

And made a bad first impression

Kicking himself mentally rn

He cleared his throat and stood up from his seat "I apologise for staring at you like that ms, I was just stunned with your beauty, yes I am Kaveh you must be Ms (name) correct?"

You blushed a bit at his words and smiled "oh uh yes I am and its quite alright I dont mind... and thank you, you got me worried for a bit. I thought I got the wrong person" you nervously chuckled

"My my, a beautiful name for a beautiful lady" he smiled "shall we get to work ms (name)?" Extending his arm to the chair in front of him, motioning you to sit down

"Oh yes of course!" You were starting to like him already, recieving such compliments in a way where he said it so casually makes your stomach flutter

You took a seat down in front of him and started discussing about your house and where you want it located

Soon minutes turn into hours and you both went from talking about your house to the akademiya to random silly things

You both didnt even realise the sun was about to go down

The only reason you both even realised was when a waiter asked if you both still wanted to stay for dinner or not

Stunned you both whipped your head out to the window to see, the sun going down

Kaveh and you looked back at each other and turned into a laughing fit

"Oh goodness have we been here all day?" You said between gasps of air

"Oh it seems like we have been here all day ms (name)" he replied laughing along

The waiter was confused asf

Mans not paid enough to deal with this😭

After Kaveh calmed down he looked at you and smiled "so how bout we order diner here as well? My treat"

"Oh no let's split the bill mr.Kaveh, I insist"

You both stayed for a little longer before Kaveh walked you home

"Lets do this again someday shall we?"

"Of course"

TARTAGLIA ▪︎ Childe

When childe first arrived in Liyue his first main concern was food

The man was hungry so he went to xinyue Kiosk

You were his waitress for the day and you did your job well

You just wanted to be paid 😭

He thanked you for your generosity, ate, paid and left.

That was the end of it and you both went about your day

Weeks have passed and Childe came back to Xinyue Kiosk

Lo and behold you were his waitress again

"Its been a while sir! Welcome back, what would you like to order?" You smiled taking your notepad in your hand, waiting to write down what the gingered hair man would like to order

"Hey again! Yeah i just really like the food here so of course I came back" he laughed "i dont know what I want, how about you surprise me hm? Give me 3 of your best dishes"

You nodded and began to write down "coming right up mr.tartaglia will that be all?"

"Yes indeed thank you again"

Same thing happened again, he ate thanked you for your the meal, paid and left

And a week passes by and he comes back again and again

However this time around was different

"Mr. Tartaglia welcome back, what would you like to order this time?"

He chuckles slightly and greets you "hello again ms (name), Im not sure, I really just miss eating Snezhnayan dishes if Im being honest"

"Oh... I see"

Silence ensued before you spoke again

"What are some dishes you miss from your homeland mr. Tartaglia?"

He looked at you for a while before smiling remininicing the time he ate local dishes from the land of snow "solyanka..." he started "my mother use to make me that when me and my siblings rolled around in the snow"

"What does it taste like?" You asked again curious

"Its a very filling dish, meat, mushroom and the best part is the soup. Made from pickled cucumbers and brine. God thinking about it makes my mouth drool" he laughed before changing the topic

"Anyways enough of that how about I order black perch stew yeah?"

You got so caught up with the conversation you forgot you were still working

"Oh yes of course, I'll get it right out asap sir"

You were determined to make childe solyanka

After all, his generosity towards the restaraunt was appreciated by everyone working

And youve formed a great bond with him over the several weeks he came by

It was the least you could do

Later evening you came by to the northland bank

You knew he worked there as the 2 of you chatted a bit about his work

You were hesitant to step in and the guard on stand by came to you

"Is there any assistance you require?"

You flinched a bit, the person was wearing a mask which freaked you a bit but you ended up mustering enough courage to talk

"Uh.. is mr. Tartaglia still here? Im a waitress from Xiyue kiosk and Im here to deliver a meal to him"

The guard stayed silent for a while before replying

"Im sorry if youre not here to take out money from the bank I cannot let you in however, Mr. Tartaglia is still inside I could take the meal from you and deliver it to him and-"

The door opened and you made eye contact with the ginger haired man

"Ms (name)? What are you doing here?" He asked, eyes widened

" Mr. Tartaglia!" You wanted to continue but you eyed the guard and stopped talking.

Childe followed your eyes and understood you were uncomfortable "please leave your post. Come back in a bit"

The guard nodded and left

You let out a sigh of relief and contined "I just wanted to deliver this for you. Personally made by me"

You handed him the bag of food and he took it, opening it

"Uhm. Its my first time trying to make the dish you described before so Im so sorry if it doesnt taste right..." you shyly continued.

"(Name) how did you... this smells amazing and looks exactly like how my mother made it" he looked at you again in awe

He was touched that you'd go as far as to make a dish from his homeland specifically for him

" I asked a few Snezhnayans around here about it, and asked one for a copy of the recipie. I wanted to thank you for your endless support and kindness on behalf of Xiyue Kiosk. And you missed your food from your homeland so.. I just-"

Childe came towards you and pulled yoy in for a hug, while still holding the dish in one hand

"Thank you so much. I'll treasure this. I owe you big time ms.(name)"

You hugged him back awkwardly and smiled "mr. Tartaglia its truly no problem!"

"Please, call me childe"

"Alright Childe, do call me (name) since were going on 1st name basis now"

After that, you watched as childe enjoyed his meal and talked for a bit

He'll be visiting you more often soon

And maybe ask you to hang out one day when you both are free :))

Prepare for a new post tomorrow or sunday! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Bento box of love

A/N: Hi everyone! I was cooking yesterday and I thought of this idea for 3 characters teehee

I love writing headcanons now istg

Scaramouche, venti and Itto (seperate) x fem!reader

Reader cooks, being his wife (scara), being his gf (Venti and Itto), modern AU, fluff, headcanon, proofread I think 😃

♡♡♡♡

SCARAMOUCHE ▪︎ the balladeer

(For background you both kept your marriage a secret when at work because he doesn't wanna deal with people yelling and shouting at him all stunned and confused abt him having a wife)

You started bringing him food from home as you found out that he has been consuming an unhealthy amount of convenience store food

You scolded him at first then the next morning he was met with the sweet aroma of chicken katsu and curry layed out in a bento box on the dining table

He thought it was for you and you worked as well

But got confused when he saw you coming out of the kitchen still in pyjamas and not your formal attire

"Who's this for?" He pointed at the bento while looking confused

"For you silly" you replied "I wasn't kidding when I said I'd start making you bentos" you added before disappearing to the kitchen again.

He was stunned and lost for words but he brought the bento anyways

When it was lunch time in his office, his coworkers came up to him and asked if he wanted to buy some food down by the convenience store as they always did

Scara declined the offer and took out the bento you prepared for him

He got looks from his coworkers "holy shit you brought a bento from home??"

"Damn lets see what you got open it open it!"

Out of all the people in the office, he was the last person they'd expect to bring a bento from home

Scara opened it and revealed the neatly arranged chicken katsu curry.

The sweet aroma of curry made his coworkers drool

"Wow Scara this looks amazing! Who made this for you?" "Your mom?" The other asked

Scara smiled slightly while still looking at the bento "my wife"

From then on he demanded* (begged) you to make him more bentos and make them as creative as possible

They make his day at work more bearable <33

VENTI ▪︎ windborne bard

He usually ate out with his fellow singers and barely ate at home unless it was breakfast

Which means he was spending loads of money

Not to mention he liked to drink so it was double the money spent

You yelled at him for spending more money than he needs

One day when he was about to leave to his agency you catched him before he opened the door and gave him a wrapped bento box

Kissing him on the cheek while handing it to him you said "for lunch today, have fun at work! Say hi to the rest for me love"

He didnt mind, both you making him a bento as well as giving him a kiss on the cheek

When lunch time came around he indirectly kept on mentioning how his lovely girlfriend made lunch for him and how much he loves his beautiful girlfriend

"Oh how much I miss my lovely windblume, good think she made me a bento box for me to remember her" he loves u so much if u cant tell

Kazuha as well as Aether just nodded and congratulated him

Xiao was annoyed

And Heizou rolled his eyes

He ate the bento while smiling the whole time

Giggling and blushing as well.

Suddenly he started spending less money on food from outside and started appreciatinf your food more

You were happy he enjoyed your cooking

But more happy tht he isnt spending money on food from outside💀

ITTO ▪︎ hanamizaka heroics

Itto doesnt have money, and he doesn't cook. He usually depends on his gang to bring food for him when they meet up or ask Shinobu, but when they forgot or simply didn't come to the meeting, he was left starving for the whole day

He couldn't ask granny oni as well as she lived far away from the city

And even if she did, he'd feel bad about it

When you started dating him, and found out about how he kept skipping meals you decided to surprise him by whipping up a bento for him

He liked food with meat and lavender melon so you tried your best to incorperate those 2 together

He watched you as you made his bento early in the morning

Peaking from over your head (tall oni) from time to time watching in awe

Practcially gets giddy when youre finally finished and held the bento box like it was the most precious thing on earth

Brags about it to his fellow gang members

"Oh my beautiful gorgeous stunning amazing jaw dropping awesome GIRLFRIEND made me a BENTO BOX for lunch today, she made me a delicious BENTO BOX-" SMACK! Was the sound that came about when Shinobu slapped his head

The gang was hapoy for him though, as they felt guilty when they werent able to feed him

They felt at ease knowing he finally had someone feeding him

That loud ass oni practically ran around the city carrying his bento box yelling chants and praises at you and how much he loves you

When you found out what he did from the rest of the gang you gave him an earful

But flattered that he went to the public to chant his appreciation for his gf <33

♡♡♡♡

SUZUUUUUUUU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Scaramouche x fem! reader. You are sheltering in place with him after a retreat when things went wrong.

I hope everyone enjoys this. This piece applies to anyone who thinks they are stupid and put themselves down. Yeah @kichikichiko I saw your tags when I showed you your ask box was visible. I'm coming mainly for you with this. It is completely fine if I call myself stupid, but I AM NOT okay with you saying that about yourself (or anyone else I care about). (Said affectionately) you forced my hands with this. This is me shooting you with a bullet of love and affection. I aim well so it will hit you right in the heart 😊❤️😌

It has been a long day. You were standing against the wall, listening to the rain beat in a soothing rhythm against a Fatui safehouse.

Let's just say things had gone to shit really fast because of something stupid one of his subordinates did.

In fact, this was what Scaramouche was thinking while he watched you enjoying the sound of the rain: My subordinate got very lucky today. The only reason he isn't dead right now is because you had asked me not to kill him. "Go easy on him, Scara, it's not his fault. Things don't always go according to plan all the time."

Yeah well, they should. He was just going the negotiations next time the need for them arose. He also thought: You are going to open your mouth, fall down on your knees and beg for forgiveness from her, worm.

You weren't offended at all that negotiations that broke down, but Scaramouche was. You, his precious treasure, his reason for even existing, had been put in danger because of something stupid one of his subordinates had said.

"Scara, why are you even with me?" You poised the question tentatively. "I mean, I personally think that I'm pretty stupid."

"What?" Scaramouche sounded annoyed. Don't misunderstand him, he wasn't annoyed with you. He was annoyed that you'd say that about yourself. Reaching over, he pinched one of your cheeks and tugged on it. "You want to remind me what useless drivel just poured from your mouth."

"I said I think I am pretty stupid," your voice sounded goofy and muffled. Scaramouche was purposely pulling your cheek so that your words were barely understandable.

That's how untrue he thought what you said was. After all, it was because your quick thinking and yelling, "Everyone, fall back and retreat! Well, get moving, damn it!" that they even achieved a strategic withdrawal at all.

After you guys had gotten together, Scaramouche had given you permission to order around his subordinates like dogs. Sometimes, he thought they listened to you more than him. They clearly recognized you as their leader too, maybe as more of leader than himself. It was kind of really annoying.

The reason for this should be obvious at this point.

Secretly, even though he always looked offended when you did that, but inside, and he will never ever admit this out loud because the ground would open up and swallow him whole from embarrassment: he kind of liked being bossed around by you.

"There better not be a next time that you say that you are stupid. I won't stand for it. If you ever feel the disgusting need to call yourself stupid again, please call one of my subordinates stupid instead."

That way it would be true. Because they were pretty stupid.

3rd times the charm

A/N: I THINK I WENT OVERBOARD WITH THIS ISTG NDKDJSKFK

Scaramouche x fem!reader, modern AU, university AU, scaramouche swears a bit, sort of love at first sight?, proofread, LONG FIC COMING THROUGHH

♡♡♡♡

Scara first saw you in the hallways of the campus, later he found out that you were actually in the same classes as him, you took the same lectures and almost had the same schedule.

When he first saw you he didnt think much, just thought you were one of the only good looking people in the whole campus, it was just admiration he told himself.

However that admiration has turned into something more as the weeks go by. One of your professors has decided to give an individual assignment requiring everyone to make a 10 minute long presentation

Scara was planning to bail on it and not come to on the d day, but found out that presentation made up 30% of his final grade and had no choice but to do it and come to class to present, much to his dismay.

On the day of the presentation, he came in early like everyone else, sat down and revised his presentation. He midway through checking his presentation Scara decided to just play with his nails or look at the table

Because to him, the table was much more interesting to observe than anything else. in fact he'd to count all the little lines that are on the wooden table then revise his presentation.

One after another people started to present and the man started getting bored and sleepy. It felt like hours and it never seemed to end soon, Scara thought about going home and skip presenting, until he heard your voice as you started your presentation.

He verted his gaze away from the table to look at you.

With the amount of time given to present, he cant help but notice the little details from you. Your voice loud and clear for everyone to hear, confident enough to talk but, also nervous as you were subconciously playing with your fingers, eyes looking at the presentation then averting it to the audience, and the way you laughed, trying to answer the professors questions. The way your voice sounded sent butterflies to his stomach and he doesnt know why.

This was the only time he listened with full attention to someones presentation and he couldnt give an answer to why.

His attention was completely on you for a solid 10 minutes, only stopping when your presentation was finished and you were sent back to your seat.

Even then, his eyes followed your figure until you sat down,

The violet haired man sat a few rows behind you, and even if he couldnt see your face, his eyes never left your figure until the end of the lecture.

Whenever he knew you and him had class together, he would quickly get ready and make his way towards the campus. He took note that you always came 5 minutes after him, so next time he decided to come 5 minutes later than his usual time, just to be able maybe cross paths with you in the campus hallways. It never worked though, much to his dismay.

Thats alright, he'll try again, maybe he needs to find you not in the lecture room but during break time.

"1st times the charm" he'd mumble to himself.

Even so, during breaktime, if he just so happens to see you something would ALWAYS go south. Example, Scara sees you alone on a table outside, revising some notes? He'll muster up the courage to talk up to you. But he could never reach you without something fucking his plan.

One time he finally found you and his gaze never left you, meaning he wasnt aware of his surroundings. He tripped on a rock and fell face first. Immediately after he tripped and got stares from people around the man left, face completely red from embarrassment, hoping you didnt see the whole fiasco happening in front of you.

"2nd times the charm." He told himself one day, as he was getting ready for the day.

Well boy oh boy was he wrong. He saw you in the campus cafe drinking (beverage of choice). Again, his gaze on you and what happened this time? He bumped into someone, making their coffee ruin his outfit.

"FUCKING HELL!" Everyone quickly tried to find the source of such a loud scream, which means you did as well.

When he found out everyone was staring at him including you, he froze, looked at the person who's coffee spilled all over him, looked at everyone else, then at you and ran out again face red.

"....okay that was weird" you'd mumble to yourself, before focusing back to your laptop. You swore you saw his face somewhere, and tried to find out exactly "where" was.

Scara ran to the bathroom and hid in one of the stalls, not even bothering to clean up the coffee stain on his shirt.

The man was utterly and completely embarrassed by what just happened. He simply doesn't know if he has the guts to come to another class next time around when he is bound to meet you again. Because there is no way that you won't recognize his face after that whole Fiasco.

♡♡♡♡

Few days have gone by and Scara was close to just giving up. During lecture, he made sure to sit far far in the back where the possibilites of you seeing his face is close to 0.

Even after just a few days his mind was still replaying the scene in his head over and over again to the point where he could probably describe every single detail in a heartbeat.

There was no way 3rd times the charm.

Instead of going to the campus Cafe this time around he decided to go to a nearby cafe which was just a few blocks down the street.

He knew that you wouldn't be here anyways as you are usually in the campus Cafe. He was positively sure that he wouldn't see you here

But just as luck has it of course whatever he said wasn't true because the moment he heard a familiar voice he knew it was you instantly. Either way he looked up to see if it was actually you, praying it wasnt and he was just hallucinating.

Lo and behold, there you were, in the cashier ordering a drink.

Scaramouche started mentally kicking himself and started cussing at the world for doing this to him. He felt like, no, he KNEW that the world was mocking him for what happened to him and wanted to see it happen again live.

He wanted to leave but before he could he heard your voice starting to panic. Because he heard you panic his head whips back to you to see what the fuss was about

What he saw was you rummaging through your bag to find something which he could only guess was your wallet and in fact he wad right.

"Shit! I forgot my wallet!!" You said, panicking as you were worried you were holding up the line. You kept trying to find your wallet but to no avail, so you decided to cancel your drink and run back to your dorm to get your wallet and buy a drink in the campus Cafe instead.

Before you got the chance to cancel your order and apologize to the person behind the cashier Scaramouche whipped up his credit card and paid for your drink. The person behind the cashier took his card and ringed it up meanwhile you stared up at him and complete shock.

After the transaction was done and Scaramouche got his card back only then did you started talking

"y-you didnt have to that sir..." you mumbled a bit, mentally punching yourself for letting a stranger pay for your drink because you forgot your damn wallet.

Scara looked at you and shaked his head "it's no problem"

You widened your eyes as you finally recognize who this man was. You remember that he was in your lecture class and you paid attention to his presentation assigned to all of you a few weeks back. Although the way that he presented his presentation wasn't all the best, because he seemed uninterested and wanted to get the hell out of the class fast (which was true) you were enchanted by the way his voice sounds, and how attractive he looks.

You also remembered the incident inside the campus cafe, when he suddenly screamed out "FUCKING HELL" which shocked everyone.

Pointing at him, with curious eyes you asked him "Werent you the guy who screamed out in the campus cafe few days ago??"

With the way that he looks, and the way that he presented himself, you were sure he was going to cuss you out or gaslight you into thinking that never happened but instead you were met with him getting all flustered, taking you by surprise.

"Uhm. Maybe well uh... nevermind that. We dont talk about that okay? That never happened ever" he replied getting more and more red by the minute just thinking about it.

You laughed and nodded "well alright then, Im (name) ive also seen you in class before but nrver got your name"

God your laugh was attractive, he thought to himself before clearing his throat "Scaramouche."

"Well then scaramouche, would you be interested in having a drink with me as we chat? I mean were already here so might as well right...?" You suggested with a smile.

He gladly took your offer although did so in a way where it made him look uninterested,

He prayed that this time, things would go according to plan

After all,

3rd times the charm right?

DAWGGGGG THIS SHIT BUSSIN 😩😩😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️

Hii im new here! Found your blog by chance and I love how you write! Would you be able to write wanderer x jealous!reader on valentines day? Lets say Wanderer has got a lot of admirers from the akademiya and reader is just silently furious abt it but doesnt say anything. When Wanderer finds out he fucks them nicely and praise them/ reassures them <333

Apparently I struggle to do angry jealousy, I just make it sad... but it's light this time! And soft.

Also it feels so weird writing Wanderer as a name??

Want to skip the lead up? Look for the NSFW sign that marks the smut!

♡Valentine's with Wanderer♡

Character: Top!Wanderer/Scaramouche

Reader: Bottom!Gn

Cw: Classic Scara misunderstandings, praise/reassurance, fingering, soft sex, slight angst(?) it's more hinted I guess

Plot: A little // Word count: 1.9k

Valentine's Day: a day of love, gifts, and showing appreciation for your partner.

Usually, everyone tries to take the day off, freeing up their schedule so that they can focus entirely on the occasion, however it may be that they want to spend it. Which is why you were quite surprised to find yourself alone in bed when you woke up in the morning.

Now, that's not when you started feeling doubt. After all, maybe Wanderer, your boyfriend of the past few months, was in the kitchen. Breakfast in bed is a traditional start to Valentine's Day, and an easy way to get in anyone's good books. But, when you heard nothing after a few minutes of waiting, – no clanking of cutlery or slamming of cabinets – you just had to go see where he was.

Unluckily for you, all you could find was a little note, hastily sprawled and left waiting on the counter:

"I'll be gone for a while, don't wait up for me. I left you some breakfast in the cupboard, it might need heating up if you stay in bed too long, but that's not my fault...

–Happy Valentine's Day."

As usual, his handwriting is kind of hard to read; quick and messy. But, at least he did technically make you breakfast, even if he also alluded to you being lazy.

However, what most takes your attention, is the blotch of ink that splattered right at the end of "fault". It was as if he were hesitating to let go, to pick up the pen and leave it at that.

Which is why you felt oddly warm at the fact that the last part was perfectly legible and obviously had been written slower than the rest.

Even though you know Wanderer isn't particularly fond of outright expressing his feelings, you thought that surely, today of all days, he could push aside his own pride for you. Even just a little. Maybe that was too high of an expectation. His ambitions never let him take a break, so why would he take one for a made-up holiday?

Well... at least he's aware enough of your excitement for the day to acknowledge it first thing in the morning, even if he wasn't there to actually say it.

But, you knew that with Wanderer, everything would be awkward and touchy the first time around. You had to move slowly. Baby steps, you remind yourself, as you head back to your shared room to start getting ready.

It's only the start of the day.

...

You wish it weren't Valentine's Day.

Every street was lined with couples, each and every one of them holding hands, carrying flowers... things that you should be doing with your boyfriend right now.

And it didn't help that you felt like everyone was judging you for being alone, especially when most of them likely knew who you were dating. It's not like you hadn't seen them staring before now.

You couldn't blame them, really. Wanderer had shown up in Sumeru suddenly and didn't feel especially inclined to explain himself, so of course people would be curious. You just didn't like the way that their eyes would... linger after him. Even when you were there! And on the rare day that Wanderer was comfortable enough to let you hold onto him in public, the admiring stares turned to full-blown jealousy.

Now, what was wrong with that? Shouldn't that be an ego boost for you? You'd thought so too, at first. But then you realised that just meant they'd want to try and steal him from you.

You thought you could put up with it at first. After all, you knew that Wanderer wouldn't stand for anyone else touching him or getting in his way other than you. You trusted him just fine. You didn't trust the average Akademiya goer, though. They all seemed to think they were entitled to have whatever – or whoever – they wanted, just because they'd gotten into the prestigious school at all.

You'd tried to bring up your concerns to Wanderer about the whispers going around and the jealous looks you'd get when walking through the streets or halls of the Akademiya. Almost instantaneously, he shut down your complaints, finding the words so easily that it almost felt as though he hadn't even tried.

"Tch... they're annoying and only want to waste our time. Just ignore them like I do."

That response was actually exactly what you'd expected to hear, and while you were grateful for his straightforward answer, you'd wanted a more... passionate outcome. Something to show he cared.

That definitely isn't what you got, considering he didn't even look at you when he said it.

After that, you didn't want to bring up the same problem again. Especially not on Valentines Day, even though he'll probably come home having been confessed to over twenty times in the past hour alone. Okay, maybe you were over-exaggerating a little, but it really didn't feel like it to you. Plus, it's the day of love! You're allowed a little leeway for feeling paranoid, right?

Maybe this evening will be better, when Wanderer finally comes come.

...

As you walk through the door, you're instantly met with a faint smell that you recognised to be the lavender lemongrass scented candles that you kept around the house. Of course, this clued you in to the fact that Wanderer must already be home. But what solidified this, was that when you walked through the doorway, there he was, waiting for you standing next to a vase of beautifully arranged flowers. It was mainly made up of your favourite flower, along with some of the famous Valentine's flowers as well, such as roses, carnations, and even some daisies.

Most likely, it was thought up by the florist that he went to. But at least he knew your favourite flower, as well as followed the tradition of buying them for you at all.

Often times, it was unusual for him to initiate physical touch with you; even though he was comfortable with you, he still just wasn't used to it yet. Tonight, however, he seemed to have no trouble in walking right up to you, taking your hand to guide you into the living room, where you could both just relax in each other's company. The calming lavender lemongrass candles eased your mood quite well, and you were happy that your Wanderer had really tried for Valentine's day.

...

You had a lovely evening with your boyfriend, cuddling on the couch as you spoke in hushed voices about anything and everything (even if he was slightly apprehensive to start), the lovely atmosphere of romantic music quietly flooding through from the street.

And even though it had felt perfect, as you get ready to retire for the night, the candles having gone out a while ago, you can't help but feel the uncertainty from before start to overtake your thoughts again.

Resigning yourself to forget about it, you get into your side of the bed, your Wanderer already having been waiting for you to return. But he can tell that something in your mood has changed almost as soon as he lays his eyes on you again.

"What's wrong?"

"... Nothing."

He leans forward, showing his engagement. "Bullshit. If you don't tell me, there's nothing I can do to help you get over it."

"I just... those people from the Akademiya... they're still bothering me." You look down at your hands.

He sighs, closing his eyes for a second, "I've told you to just ignore them. There's nothing I can do to control how people think of you, or me, or us."

"I can't just ignore them!" You whine, "They're always looking at us when we're together... it's making me worried..."

At that, he looks over at you, his eyes scrunching as he thinks your words over. "Worried about what?"

Not sure how to say it, you move yourself to lay against him. Your back is pressed to his chest now, and the feeling of his warm breath on your neck helps to soothe your thoughts just enough for you to find the words:

"...I don't want them to take you from me..."

Now, it's Wanderer's turn to be silent. Now, he realises the mistake he'd made in telling you to just ignore those insignificant people; by ignoring the problem himself, he'd made you focus on it more. Of course you'd be feeling worried about this, he'd shut it down the first time you'd tried bringing it up.

You didn't need to just forget about it. You needed to work through it so that you could forget about it.

After almost a minute of tense silence, you're surprised when you feel his lips press gently to the back of your neck, accompanied moments later by his arm curling around you, pulling you ever closer against him. His hand rests over the place where your heart rests, while the other intertwines your fingers with his against your stomach, as if caging in the butterflies that start to flutter.

"Allow me to try again..." He presses a kiss to your ear before speaking again, "you don't need to think about them, or what I think about them." The hand on your heart shifts to cup your chest, your breath wavering when his hand brushes over your hardening nipples. "Because I'll never want anyone but you."

Then, the night is almost a blur.

Wanderer sneakily pulls a bottle of rose scented lube from under the pillow, liberally gathering some as he starts to stretch you out on his fingers. The scent slowly fills the room, intoxicating you on the heady fragrance, allowing it to pull you deeper into the moment.

He steadily pushes his fingers against the sensitive bundle of nerves inside of you, never slowing until after you've cum around his lubed up digits. Your hand finds purchase with the one on your chest, tightening your grip around him as you come down from the residual high.

He's whispering short encouragements to you while you collect your breath, the moans you'd been letting out dying on your tongue. Wanderer slowly lifts your leg, allowing him to guide his hard cock to finally, finally press against your hole, not making you wait to feel him as the slowly pushes in.

You don't need to adjust much, the lube and his attentive fingers having done the work well enough that only the comforting sensation of being full registers in your core. He starts thrusting when you signal that you're ready, his pace is easy and the power behind his hips is controlled enough to pull a soft moan from you with each stroke. It's different from what you're used to, but it's good. So good. And what makes it better is the hushed and stuttered, "I love you," and, "You're the only one that matters," that gets breathed into your shoulder as you both approach your shared climax.

The next morning, you wake up to find your Wanderer exactly where he ended last night; right next to you in your bed. You close your eyes contentedly, knowing you'll never have to worry about him being taken from you.

He's your Wanderer.
