Genshin Aether X Male Reader - Tumblr Posts

home (i think i’m better off alone)

being the youngest ragnvindr was like a dream come true growing up. a loving father and two doting older brothers, you couldn’t ask for anything more. well, it was a dream come true until diluc’s 18th birthday, the day crepus died. it was as if your family crumbled down around you in an instant; no time to even attempt to salvage what was left. with diluc leaving mondstadt and kaeya furthering his own life away from the place you all once called home, they left you to pick up the pieces. alone.

you’ve always hated the rain. no matter if it’s a light drizzle, the moment you feel the water droplets wet your hair you feel your heart start to race, chest tightening as your anxiety rises.
it was even worse when it started to rain while you slept, your fear of rain seeping into your dreams.
your once peaceful thoughts slowly turned dark, just as the sky darkened, making you toss and turn in your sleep, a small frown adorning your face.
it was almost as if crepus, your father, could tell what was happening behind your closed bedroom door.
he leaned his ear against it, breath steady as he listened for any signs of distress from you. once he heard you let out a small yelp, one he wouldn’t have heard if he hadn’t been listening intently, he didn’t waste time in opening the door and rushing to your side.
he kneeled down at your head, petting it as he hummed softly, something he always did when you were having a nightmare. only the sound of his humming and his light touch soothed your panic; your breath evening out as your dream became pleasant once again.
he kissed your forehead gently, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, “sleep well, little one.” he said, slowly standing up and walking back to the door, taking one last glance at you before leaving; shutting the door gently as he did.
the only evidence that he was there the previous night was a small piece of chocolate sitting on your nightstand that he only gave to you and your brothers when you were feeling bad, whether emotionally or physically.
as you carefully picked the chocolate up and softly held it in the palm of your hand, all you felt was happiness. happiness that only your father could give.
